Electric bills to get 6.4% increase in April Customers to see $16.50 per month increase after PUC approval BY MARK JAFFE THE COLORADO SUN
The average electric bill for Xcel Energy’s residential customers will go up $5.24 a month — a 6.4% increase — starting in April under
a $182 million rate hike approved March 16 by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. The PUC voted 3-0 to accept the increase, which was agreed upon in rate-case negotiations that included the Colorado Utility Consumer Advocate and Energy Outreach Colorado, a nonprofit advocacy organization that, among other things, helps low-income households pay utility bills. “Although a 6.42% rate is troubling to me, I find the settlement is
just and reasonable,” Commissioner John Gavin said. Rates for the average small commercial customer will also rise 6.2% or about $6.62 a month. There will be more Xcel Energy electricity rate cases to come, said Ron Davis, the commission’s chief adviser. “The company will be back in for rate requests in the next 3 or 4 years at the outside.” Utilities’ expenses and investments are recovered through rate cases. The PUC reviews those costs

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Finding steady footing in spaces that have historically been antagonistic to your presence is no small thing. But that’s just one of the things that united Caroline Randall Williams, Rhiannon Giddens and Kayla Rowser when they worked on the Nashville Ballet’s world premiere of “Lucy Negro Redux” in 2019. For Williams, a poet and writer, that space was Shakespearean scholarship; in Giddens’ case, it was the bluegrass genre; and for Rowser, the world of ballet. And while being Women of Color pioneering their way into these areas gave them a shared experience to relate to, it also put them on the same footing as the character of Lucy — a Black woman making a life in Shakespearean England. Now Lucy’s story is coming to
to assure they are appropriate and then sets an appropriate return on the investments the company has made. In this case, for example, Xcel Energy asked for a 10% return on investment and the settlement agreement reduced it to 9.3%. In addition to the electricity rate increase Xcel Energy also is asking for a temporary rate increase to recoup $550 million in extra electric and natural gas costs incurred as a

Clear Creek officials support renaming Mount Evans to Mount Blue Sky. In a March 15 meeting, the Clear Creek Board of County Commissioners voted 2-0 to register its support for the Mount Blue Sky petition. Commissioners Randy Wheelock and George Marlin were in favor, and Commissioner Sean Wood abstained. The mountain is named for Colorado’s second territorial governor, John Evans, who’s believed to have authorized the Sand Creek Massacre SEE PETITION, P4

result of a severe winter storm in February 2021, which led to a spike in natural gas prices. The company, the state’s largest utility with more than 3 million electricity and natural gas customers, has also filed an overall natural gas rate case, seeking an $8.14 increase in the average bill over three years. The three rate cases could raise the average Xcel Energy utility bill by $16.49 by the end of the year. One element in the settlement agreement that the commission did not accept on March 16 was the method for recovering costs and the portion of the plant that still had not been amortized or paid off from the retirement of a coal-fired unit at the Craig Power Plant and two coal-fired units at the Hayden Station. Both coal-burning stations are to be shut down by 2028. Xcel Energy has put the cost of decommissioning and amortizing the remaining value of the Craig unit at $27.4 million. The costs for the two Hayden units is $77.6 million. Rather than settling on any cost recovery method right now, Gavin and Commissioner Megan Gilman said they wanted a full review of options, particularly the use of low-cost bonds known as securitization. “It is important for us to consider all the options,” Gilman said. “We owe it to the ratepayers to understand all the options.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

instrumentation, you’ll love it. If you love pure ballet, you’ll love it. All three exist on the same stage.” The Nashville Ballet’s production of “Lucy Negro Redux,” featuring music performed live by Giddens and Francesco Turrisi, and spoken word by Williams, will be presented at the Robert and Judi Newman Center for the Performing Arts at
the University of Denver, 2344 East Iliff Ave., at 7:30 p.m. March 29 and 30. Based on Williams’ book of poetry of the same name, the ballet is based on her proposition that the “Dark Lady” and the “Fair Youth” — to whom so many of Shakespeare’s love sonnets are written to and for — were a Black woman and a young man. Williams worked with Giddens, Rowser, who has since retired, and the Nashville Ballet’s artistic director Paul Vasterling to create a show that explores topics
as relevant now as during Shakespeare’s time — love, beauty and the importance of identity and selfknowledge. “I love to collaborate — it’s my favorite part of what I do. And as a choreographer, you’re making your art with other people’s bodies, so it was thrilling to collaborate with so many composers on this piece,” Vasterling said. “The show was created by poetry and music meeting on an equal playing field.” SEE BALLET, P3

Tickets loom for mountain toll violators State to begin citing drivers who illegally use I-70 mountain express toll lanes BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Motorists who drive in the Interstate 70 mountain express toll lanes in Clear Creek County when they are closed and supposed to be serving as the emergency shoulder will face a $250 fine starting in August. Gov. Jared Polis on March 15 signed House Bill 1074 into law letting the Colorado Department of Transportation use the license plate cameras used to collect tolls when the I-70 mountain express lanes are open to also ticket motorists driving in the
BALLET FROM PAGE 2
In the show, the titular Lucy is a brothel owner, and Williams said some might be tempted to judge the character for her work. But Williams hopes that instead of judgment, the character will be an example of playing an active, self-determined role in one’s own life. “This is a story of agency. I invite people to remember that seizing claim of your body’s story and mak-
lane when it is closed. There are now express toll lanes across Colorado, but unlike the others, the ones on I-70 through Clear Creek County cannot be open all of the time. That’s because the mountain express lanes are narrower than a traditional interstate lane. The 13-mile lane from Empire to Idaho Springs opened in 2015 and a westbound express toll lane opened along the same stretch last year. In 2020, nearly 50,000 motorists drove in the eastbound I-70 express toll lane when it was closed, according to state data. The cameras will also be used to ticket drivers in the toll lanes towing trailers or who are behind the wheel of a tractor trailer. Both types of vehicles are prohibited from traveling in the narrow express lanes. Offenders will be mailed a ticket
just as they are when they are caught running a red-light camera in downtown Denver. Authorities have been unable to enforce the toll lanes’ closure because the lanes are too narrow to allow an officer to wait and catch scofflaws. The express lanes are narrower because CDOT opted to use the existing width of the roadway to create toll lanes instead of widening the interstate, which would have been more costly and had more environmental impacts. Because the lanes are so narrow, Colorado had to make a deal with federal regulators limiting the amount of time they can be open each year. The eastbound express lane can be open a maximum of 100 days a year for no more than 1,168 hours annually. The westbound express lane can be open for no more than 125 days a year
and no more than 965 hours annually. CDOT opens the lanes during peak traffic periods, and the toll changes based on demand. CDOT says the eastbound express lane has been a success at reducing drive times on the busy stretch, but people illegally traveling in it, officials say, poses a big risk of a serious crash. House Bill 1074 was sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Judy Amabile, of Boulder, and Republican state Sen. Dennis Hisey, of El Paso County.
ing choices about it is always empowering and agency affirming,” she said. “I don’t want people to get confused by Lucy’s profession but rather to be uplifted and clarified about her agency to make her own decisions.” If all the themes the show focuses on sound thoroughly modern, that’s no mistake. Despite its roots in a playwright from more than four centuries ago, all the creatives involved in the ballet wanted to ensure it spoke to modern audiences. “This show is really about now. It’s about how we see ourselves in the world, about what beauty is and what
it means,” Vasterling said. “I hope that it transforms the way you think about the world in some small way.” For Williams, now that her story of Lucy has come to life in two mediums, she hopes audiences come away from the ballet with a sense of history’s power and resonance when it is considered with an open mind. “I want people to do some re-remembering and think of history with radical acts of reimagination,” she said. “History is so much more complicated, sexier and realer than we’ve been taught. There’s something about the sheer wonder and sense of possibility
in looking at the past.”

against the Cheyenne and Arapaho people. He was forced to resign in its aftermath. Additionally, leading up to the Sand Creek Massacre in November 1864, John Evans issued proclamations authorizing Colorado settlers to “kill and destroy ... all hostile Indians,” which Colorado Gov. Jared Polis rescinded last year. There are five official renaming petitions: Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho, Mount Blue Sky, Mount Rosalie, Mount Soule, and Mount Evans but redesignating the namesake as Anne Evans. The petitions are expected to be addressed by the Colorado Geographic Naming Advisory Board later this year. The board and the governor will make recommendations to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, which has final say on which, if any, petition will be approved. Leading up to the March 15 meeting, the Clear Creek commissioners received a variety of verbal and written public comment. Dozens supported Mount Blue Sky or the other petitions; some even suggested their own name; but many others opposed a name change entirely. Wheelock and Marlin both believed the mountain should be renamed, given John Evans’ actions against Colorado’s indigenous people. “It’s a mistake,” Marlin said of naming the mountain after John Evans. “And it’s a mistake that we can correct. … The name Mount Evans is

inflicting harm today, and I think we should stop.” ‘A complicated, malleable thing’ Wood contrasted the Mount Evans’ renaming discussion with last year’s process for the Clear Creek County peak now called Mestaa’ehehe Mountain. Its previous name was a derogatory word, and it was renamed to honor Owl Woman, a notable Cheyenne figure. With Mestaa’ehehe Mountain, he said, there was only one renaming petition, and that consensus helped
with the process. For Mount Evans, though, there are five official petitions and plenty of other suggestions. Wood also brought up Evans’ connection to the Sand Creek Massacre, saying academic studies by the University of Denver and Northwestern University contested that Evans authorized it or knew about it. John Evans was a founder of both universities. Wood felt it was unfair for Clear Creek County to weigh in about a matter that happened more than 150 years ago with little direction, saying, “We’d

Dear Davis Schilken, I just married the man of my dreams. However, I am worried how it will impact our Estate Plans. We have both been married once before, and we both have 2 beautiful children from our prior marriage, bringing our new family to 6 (My husband, his two kids, my two kids, and myself). How can we improve and prepare our Estate Plans to care for everyone? Sincerely, Beth Blended Family Dear Beth Blended Family, Congratulations on your new marriage! Additions like that can be exciting and lead to a long and happy life together. However, there are certainly things we need to take into consideration when it comes to blended family. Blended families can cause worry and difficulty when it comes to passing on your Estate. This includes unintended inheritance, unintended disinheritance, confusion, and even fighting amongst families. All of these things are easily avoidable with proper planning!
Need help finding a job? JFS HAS FREE SERVICES TO HELP YOU GET BACK TO WORK. JFS offers a variety of trainings and workshops to prepare you for your next job. Job coaches support you through the process and help you meet your employment goals.
When bringing children to a new marriage, spouses should always talk about what their expectations are, and how they want their Estates to pass. Leaving behind old Estate Plans (both a Will and Trust) without any revisions, can result in things such as an ex-spouse inheriting, or a new spouse (and their children) being disinherited. Of course, this is only a short list of what can happen. You will want to make sure that your Estate Plans are updated to accommodate everyone in your happy new family. The list below includes just a few things you may want to change or amend: 1. Pay on Death Beneficiaries for Cash/Investment Accounts; 2. Re-titling of Property (personal residence or other); 3. Updating Fiduciaries (Powers of Attorney, Personal Representatives); 4. Including new family members in your Estate Plan; 5. Excluding old family members from your Estate Plan; and 6. Provide for new spouse, protect your children. If your Estate Plans don’t accommodate your new family members, they may do nothing but complicate things further. Unfortunately, just because you have previously drafted a Will or Trust does not mean your documents will automatically include your new family. Contact our offices for valuable advice on all matters relating to Estate Planning with Blended Families (303) 670-9855.

Fed-up conservatives started organizing Now they’re winning — and they don’t plan to stop BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN
Loveland grandmother Mickie Nuffer grew more concerned by the day as she watched people on television shouting about “defunding the police” and later, in her own county, when businesses required proof of vaccination to enter. In Highlands Ranch, mom and former teacher’s aide Donna Jo Tompkins was growing increasingly

Why Mount Blue Sky? Marlin described how he supported the Mount Blue Sky petition as a unifying name for all stakeholders. Not only is the name significant to the Cheyenne and Arapaho people, he noted, but it also reflects the mountain’s natural beauty. Wheelock agreed, noting how those from the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes chose the English
frustrated with mask mandates, last-minute school quarantines and the latest curriculum controversy: critical race theory. And in Arvada, Angela Marriott was alarmed by the way people on Nextdoor pounced on any conservative sentiment, especially against masks, and was exasperated pretty much every time she watched the news. “I would turn on the news and just be enraged within minutes, watching our police being abused, properties being destroyed and trying to erase our history with tearing down and damaging statues,” she said. “I just decided one day I had had
it. I was going to take this negative energy and put it into something constructive, to fight for freedom and my children’s future.” None of the three women had ever been political, but said they were compelled by the 2020 COVID shutdown and other government policies of the past two years to get involved. Similar to the way Democratic women mobilized after the election of former President Donald Trump, conservative women who never before attended a caucus or canvassed a neighborhood are organizing in living rooms across Colorado. Tompkins formed Liberty Girls in Douglas County, which has grown
from about 20 women who first gathered in her house for coffee and snacks a year ago to more than 300, all standing, she said, for God, country and family. Nuffer is creating her own version, called the NoCo Ladies for Liberty, with about 250 members in Larimer, Weld and Boulder counties. Marriott, meanwhile, started Arvada Grassroots Conservatives, which also includes men. And in the Douglas County town of Castle Rock, a group called We the Women formed last year.

The latter was proposed by Otto Braided Hair, Jr. of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. However, he noted during the March 15 meeting how the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe recently supported the Mount Blue Sky petition. Thus, he felt comfortable voicing his support for Mount Blue Sky as well. The Ute Indian Tribe — commonly called the Northern Ute Tribe — and the Northern Arapaho Tribe haven’t weighed in yet, he clarified, but all
574 federally recognized tribes will be consulted by the USBGN. Even if the mountain is renamed, Wheelock said it’ll be meaningless without accompanying educational efforts. The commissioners thanked all the
stakeholders and members of the public for their participation in the process, with Wood noting how at least 50 people were attending March 15’s virtual meeting. “We appreciate everyone’s time and energy,” Wood said.

voting bloc is the latest in a line of suburban-women influence on elections, from the middle-class “soccer moms” of the 1990s, to the “security moms” after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, to the “rage moms” exasperated by Trump and racial injustice. Liberty Girls worked to flip Douglas County School Board Tompkins, feeling helpless about the state of the nation, logged onto a Facebook group for conservative women in Colorado and began sending private messages to women in the group who were her Douglas County neighbors. Immediately, she had 30 women who were interested. Their first meeting last March turned into an emotional, four-hour bonding session, as women circled their chairs in Tompkins’ living room and unloaded about how the pandemic had affected their families. One woman who was pregnant with her fourth child told the group her toddler had regressed and had received no services. A Cherry Creek teacher said she left her job because she couldn’t stand the level of politics that had seeped into classrooms. “How are we in this place?” Tompkins recalled them asking. “How am I going to raise my kids?” But, going forward, the group hasn’t been about venting. “I didn’t want this to be a group where we sat around and grumbled and cried,” Tompkins said. She got to work setting up workshops so the Liberty Girls could learn about
March 24, 2022 the upcoming school board race, held in November, and the caucus process where voters gather by precinct in the spring to start selecting GOP candidates. As the group grew, Tompkins, who used her maiden name in this story, vetted each person, requiring that anyone who wanted to attend first call her to answer questions about their politics. She said she does this to prevent an interloper or a mole with a hidden tape recorder from infiltrating one of their meetings. The caution is necessary, she said, in a time when people are divided and attacks are sometimes vicious, particularly after the new conservative school board abruptly fired the superintendent, setting Douglas County parents against each other. Liberty Girl meetings are a place where “you can speak your truth and not be censored or canceled,” she said. The meetings grew so quickly that Tompkins started placing chairs on her second floor, where a foyer with a railing overlooks the living room. They called it mezzanine seating. Liberty Girls’ first big push was the school board election, where four conservative candidates were attempting to flip the left-majority board that had been in power since 2018. They packed school board meetings. They knocked on doors, reaching Douglas County residents who no longer had kids in school and hadn’t kept up with school politics. They spoke of mask mandates, Zoom classrooms and 10day school quarantines. And they won. In February, three months after the new board was elected, the 4-3 majority fired Superintendent Corey Wise
and is now searching for his replacement. But the Liberty Girls’ work is far from over, Tompkins said. On caucus night in early March, 60 Liberty Girls were elected as delegates, precinct committee chairs and election judges. The group has hosted candidates in a heated race to replace the county’s longtime sheriff and is working its way up the ticket toward the Republican candidates for governor and U.S. Senate. Members aren’t told which candidates to support, only how to get involved in the process. “We are really wanting to stand on our own, apart from the GOP,” Tompkins said. “We are a group of intelligent women who are getting smarter.” Jen Masten, a Highlands Ranch mom and member of Liberty Girls, attended caucuses for the first time in her life earlier this month and was elected a delegate for the next two years, meaning she’ll attend assemblies and have a role in selecting candidates for the GOP ticket. “I thought I was doing my due diligence by showing up and voting Republican and being on the PTO and by finding people that I really liked that were running and being behind them,” Masten said. “What Liberty Girls has done for me is educate me, and it’s educated me without telling me what to do, but how to do it. They said, ‘Here is what caucus is. Go do your thing.’” Being a part of the Liberty Girls fosters friendship and support, said one member. “In the beginning, I felt kind of lost. You’re coming out of 2020 feeling really isolated and feeling alone. And then when we got together last March, we were all just crying. … It’s much easier to tackle politics as a group, and to discern together. That really has brought us together and made this a group of action.” (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) Masten summed up the group this way: “We’re women that love God, our family and country. We’re activists for medical freedom. We are activists for the truth. And we want to preserve our constitution. Everyone should carry the constitution around and know exactly what it says and know when our rights are being infringed upon.” Her enthusiasm, and that of many others, was obvious at GOP caucuses at ThunderRidge High School, where about 150 voters met by precinct, separated into various classrooms and a computer lab. Fired-up attendees talked about secretary of state candidate Tina Peters, calling her a “good guy” despite her involvement in an election tampering scandal, disgust over Colorado’s sex education law that requires lessons to include dialogue on consent, and anger at term-limited Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock for supporting Colorado’s red flag law that allows a judge to temporarily remove a person’s firearms. Outside the high school, one
woman shouted “Red wave! Red wave!” Stu Parker, chairman of the Douglas County Republicans, said voters — particularly women — are more engaged than they’ve been in years. “They got involved in the school board race and started to understand what’s going on,” he said. “They saw what happened in the pandemic and they are fed up and wanting change.”
Loveland group fights to preserve Christian values, against abortion Nuffer, in Loveland, said the collective energy is coming from a desire to improve life for her children and grandchildren. She decided to start NoCo Ladies for Liberty after Sherronna Bishop, a former campaign manager for U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, interviewed Liberty Girls founder Tompkins. Bishop, who calls herself “America’s Mom,” posts her interviews with conservative politicians and activists on her website. At first, Nuffer dismissed the idea of leading a group, telling herself she was “just a mom and Nana.” Then the 59-year-old decided not to “disqualify” herself, realizing that her status as a mother and grandmother was her “greatest strength and my largest ‘why.’” “I do not want to see my family continually stripped of their constitutional rights,” she said, adding that she regrets not doing more sooner in life to “preserve our American way of life, founded on our Judeo-Christian values.” Nuffer, who is a health coach, heard Tompkins speak on Jan. 20. And on Feb. 10, she had 38 women in her home who came despite a snowstorm. Nuffer, who also vets attendees, wanted like-minded women to learn together in a non-intimidating environment, one where no question about the political process was too elementary. She and a few others circulated an invitation promising “conservative community, cocktails and civics,” and invited the local GOP chairman to teach a room full of women enjoying wine and cheese about the caucus process. A month later, 26 women from the group were elected as delegates, 16 as election judges and nine as precinct committee chairs — and that’s just among the 71 who attended the NoCo Ladies for Liberty’s last meeting. They’re also holding forums for the local sheriff’s and state House seats, and women from the three-county group are considering branching out to start their own groups in their hometowns. NoCo Ladies for Liberty is also working on a website to communicate with each other, since many of its members quit Facebook over the platform’s censorship policies. And last week, Nuffer brought a carload of women to the state Capitol, where they protested against a bill that would affirm abortion rights in Colorado.

The Museum of Outdoor Arts, which has operated an indoor exhibit and programming space in Englewood’s Civic Center since 2000, as well as an exhibit of outdoor sculptural artworks, has announced a renewed focus on its outdoor spaces and discontinued operation of the indoor space in Englewood. In a news release from the city of Englewood, MOA stated that it “has submitted a proposal for the outdoor collection to remain on display in Englewood.” There are about 40 artworks on public display within the downtown Englewood area, many near the light rail station and Civic Center — stated to be about half of the MOA’s outdoor collection. The remainder of the collection is primarily located in Marjorie Park and around the Greenwood Plaza business area. The new MOA headquarters address is 6331 Fiddler’s Green Circle, close to MOA’s primary asset, Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre. Marjorie Park, which was recently renovated by MOA, re-

opened in 2021 and will be an outdoor museum and events venue, where more than 40 artworks are featured. It is named for the late Marjorie Madden, who cofounded the MOA in 1981 with her husband, commercial real estate developer John W. Madden Jr.,
and their daughter, Cynthia Madden Leitner, More than 150 pieces are included in the MOA collection, 85 of them installed outdoors. The MOA has provided a number of indoor exhibits and programs, including its Design and
Build, which provides opportunities for young artists to work with arts professionals and in keeping with the objective of “Making Art a Part of Everyday Life.” Indoor exhibits have featured local and national professional artists whose work is contemporary, as well as annual exhibits by Design and Build students in earlier years. There have been more than 200 indoor art exhibits and installations, multimedia performances, as well as hundreds of youth art classes in the Englewood facility, as well as artst-in-residence arrangements. It has also provided studio space and exhibit attention for prominent area arts professionals. Funding for collaborative exhibits and programs came from Colorado Creative Industries, National Endowment for the Arts, the City of Englewood and the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). Englewood Mayor Othoniel Sierra is quoted as “excited at the possibility of a continued relationship with the MOA through the display of their publicly accessible artwork and art outreach support and community placemaking projects.” We will watch for notice of mission-related changes as this unique organization enters a new phase in its remarkable existence.

Built to last — are we?
M
any years ago, business author Jim Collins wrote several impactful books on how some of the country’s and world’s most successful businesses have survived, or in some cases, failed. He covered the topics through “Built to Last,” “Good to Great,” and “How the Mighty Fall.” Each of these books are insightful and FROM THE helpful in looking at the history of how companies like Walmart became empires, EDITOR although Sam Walton’s original vision is far from what the company has become. Collins’ works also look at failed companies such as Radio Shack and its missteps that led to eventual closures. If we were to apply Collins’ points in these books to today’s America, and more specifically, here in Denver, I ask the question — Are we built to last? For a variety of reasons, I would say the Thelma Grimes answer is no. For now, we will skip the fact that leadership nationwide is faltering and that is not a good character in being a lasting, successful entity. Instead, I want to look at how we are living as a nation, especially here in Denver. In a recent Facebook post, a friend spoke excitedly about becoming a first-time homeowner. However, the post was not general merriment as he went on to talk about the monthly mortgage payment for the home he will now be taking on with some stress. You see, the home was priced way above what it should be. I am not talking a couple thousand dollars either. I am talking $100,000 to $200,000 more than it should be sold. That means a higher mortgage for first-time homeowners who are already a bit stressed before the key unlocked the door. This is a common problem across the Denver metro area. Homes are being sold for two to three times what they should be, making the thought of affordable housing more of a punchline than reality. So, what does that have to do with being built to last? Well, let’s look at this young family. They wanted to buy this home and stay in the place they grew up, near family. However, what about the young families with no strong ties to our community? Do you really think young, educated families will want to stay here if they cannot make enough money to afford a house? If they cannot earn a living wage and actually live comfortably? Ultimately, they will leave and seek more affordable options in a city either starting to grow, or one that is making it possible for young families to have a shot. The loss, in the end, is ours. We are going to start losing young families and students graduating from college and entering the workforce. These young families and minds are the ones who establish our future. They bring fresh ideas to our companies. They bring money to our economy as they spend at retail store and restaurants. They spend money to take part in community entertainment and events. However, if all their money is going towards ridiculous mortgage payments, continually increasing utilities and HOA fees — will they stay here? Will we be able to keep great minds and citizens here? Our markets are not built to last if we make it too hard for young professionals to even get started in the first place. Instead we are heading toward a more realistic narrative of how the mighty fall. Thelma Grimes is the south metro editor for Colorado Community Media.

All the good you can do
ast weekend I had an opportunity to enjoy a couple of beers with Brian, a very good and close friend of mine. On the day we had met, we were experiencing one of those crazy weather weekends where the temperature was in the mid 60s the day before, and then snowing the very next day. I was already there when Brian walked in, and as he walked in, we were talking about how crazy it was out there. And although the weather was indeed a bit strange, we quickly realized we were talking about all the other crazy things that are going on in the world. And that led us into a discussion around what we could do as individuals to help in any way that we could. What could we do as a family to help? And what can we do as a community if we really rallied all those who give of their time, resources, and talents? A song by Jana Stanfield came to my mind, “All the Good I Can Do.” The lyric that I thought of reads, “I cannot do all the good that the world needs but the world needs all the good I can do.” With our attention focused on the war in Ukraine and in other on war-torn countries elsewhere, many are wondering what they can do to help. Rising supplier costs lead to rising consumer prices and that means many people are making decisions about what they can afford and what they have to do without, and again, raising the question of what we can do to help. As we look around there are plenty of opportunities where our generosity of time, resources and talents can be applied. So, what we mustn’t do, is to get so caught up in the things that we cannot do or control, and rather focus on all the things that we can do. And whether that is on a grand scale or the tiniest little thing that can make a difference, we must do what the song encourages, because the world does need all the good we can do. There are food pantries with empty shelves. Local churches have a food pantry, or they support one, so that is a good place to start. Soup kitchens, food kitchens and meal centers are also a great place to donate food or volunteer

to serve. Finding the closest homeless center or rescue mission is another excellent place to start as they can always use funding, or they can let us know what they need in the way of donations. As the war rages on in Ukraine, there are many places that are taking donations in the form of clothing, blankets, health and hygiene Michael Norton products, and other goods that can possibly help those who have been displaced. And again, financial donations to the Red Cross or other charities that step in to help victims, refugees, and those left homeless by the war. Sometimes when there are major events happening in our country or around the world, we can suffer from a sense of feeling numb or paralyzed, and we become so fixated on those bigger problems that we forget about the causes that are important to us and that need our help in any way that we can possibly provide. Now is the time to rise to the occasion and step up to help out, and step in with our time, resources, and talents. Even forgetting the wars taking place and the pandemics, hunger, lack of shelter and clothing, poor health, joblessness, and sudden loss of life leaving family members without the means to live as they once did all create opportunities for us to do all the good that we can do. Is there a closet that you can clean out to support a clothing drive? Is there a food pantry that you could help stock once a month? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ xinnix.com, and when we can do all the good we can do, it really will be a better than good year.

HIGHLIGHTING DENVER AUTHORS Christy Steadman | csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Anthony Garcia: ‘African Slave Conquistador: Esteban and Blues’ Anthony Garcia’s family has been in the New Mexico/Colorado area nearly 400 years. Garcia grew up in a small town in northern Colorado and has lived and worked in Denver since the mid-1980s. He settled in the Washington Park neighborhood in 2010. Currently self-employed in private health care and as an author, Garcia writes primarily within two genres: Indigenous and the Sephardic Jewish community. “Both areas relate directly to our state of Colorado,” he said. A running theme in his books is the first contact of Indigenous peoples and Europeans — a topic of interest to Garcia personally. His first book, “Portal of Light,” came out in 2014. It is the first of three on the Sephardic Jewish community. Garcia’s other two published books are on Indigenous people, as well as his sixth and latest book — a novel of historical fiction called “African Slave Conquistador: Esteban and Blues” — that came out in January. But it was back in 1983 when Garcia was studying in Spain that Esteban piqued his interest. “I never forgot about him,” Garcia said, adding that while some history has been written about Esteban, there wasn’t an extensive account of his life. Esteban was born in an African village called Cufu, located near the Nile River. He was eventually sold to a Spanish conquistador, and in 1535, was the only African slave among 350 or 400 Spanish soldiers to embark on an expedition to explore the New World, landing on the Florida shore. Only four people — Esteban being one of them — survived the trip, and upon landing, it became an eight-year journey through the U.S. Gulf Coast and southwestern states to eventually reach New Mexico. “African Slave” is a fictional story based on the real-life journal of Cabeza de Vaca’s Adventures in the Unknown Interior of America that recounts how Esteban made first contact with natives and found creative ways to survive, including pursuing leadership roles as a linguist, intermediary and Shaman healer. While it tells Esteban’s story, the book is also about finding oneself, and it weaves present-day characters into the story. “African Slave” is in the young adult category, but Garcia has found adults also enjoy his books because of the historical aspect. Garcia spends about six months researching his books and also uses an Indigenous editor to ensure the stories are historically consistent and verifiable. “It’s very real,” Garcia said. Garcia believes it is vital to place “importance upon communities-ofcolors’ contributions of valuable qualities that can add and enrich this land’s essence and life,” he said. “You don’t know yourself

until you know your history.” Q&A with Anthony Garcia What do you find most enjoyable about being able to recount tales of first encounters in your books? The first encounter is the most fascinating engagement of two opposing groups — neither side knows what to think of each other and there is a curiousness, a wondering of what skills an opposing camp maintains, an organic but never proven fear of each other. In “African Slave Conquistador: Esteban and Blues,” the Black Moor Esteban encounters the Indigenous of Florida and is assigned to communicate with this camp. He does not speak their dialect or tongue, yet organically learns to sign in order to survive. Why do you think Denver residents of all ages enjoy reading historical fiction? People enjoy knowing the details of history — of the dynamics of a time period: a. Natural competitors and the conflicts/battles that eventually would take place. b. How people lived, how they dressed, what they ate, technology utilized to win in life. c. Strategies to survive — people find these most interesting. What did you find most interesting about Esteban while researching and writing about him, and why? What was most interesting about Esteban was the spatial intelligence. He was educated in his organic faith of Yoruba, learned to be Muslim and requeued to sign a document converting to be Catholic, and lastly, learned the Indigenous faiths. Yet he never forgot who he was and his pride in being an African boy from Cufu. A boy wonder that somehow used words, feelings and value placement to be an interpreter to Indigenous bands that spoke a different dialect themselves and rarely spoke to each other, Esteban was able to bridge and communicate with all. One of my motivations of this research is showing Persons of Color’s contribution to this America that is rarely recognized nor spoken. Este-
ban, an incredible example of sacrifice of his life demonstrating valor and commitment to advance the European entry into the new world, rarely is spoken of his contribution.
WHAT’S NEXT? Anthony Garcia is currently working on a book on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, children.
WHERE TO GET THE BOOK Anthony Garcia’s latest book, “African Slave Conquistador: Esteban and Blues,” can be purchased on Amazon. Garcia will be at Museo de las Americas, 861 Santa Fe Drive in Denver, at 4 p.m. every first Friday throughout the year for book signings and author meet-andgreets. The museum carries all of Garcia’s books.

ith the goal of inclusivity and creating normal lives for people with disabilities, The Arc of Colorado strives to help people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) be included in their communities. The Arc has 15 chapters in the state of Colorado that cover the state, and they are all independent nonprofits funded by Arc Thrift Stores. There are 30 Arc Thrift Stores across the state, and Arc is the largest company employing disabled people in Colorado. Luke Wheeland is the director of community outreach, education and communications for The Arc of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties. He explained how the money from the thrift stores translates into services for those with disabilities. “That funding allows advocacy for people with I/DD for their lifecycle, from birth to death, for free,” Wheeland said. Lynn Meyer started seeking services with The Arc when her son, David, was in grade school. David is now 39 and has Down syndrome. They live in Greenwood Village in Arapahoe County. Meyer described David as “a pretty typical human being,” who loves sports, video games, movies and hanging out with his friends. He has worked at King Sooper’s for over 21 years. David is mostly non-verbal, so once he turned 18, Meyer pursued a guardianship to help make decisions for him. Meyer said that while now she knows about many resources, she recognizes that some of the information can be hard to process alone. “There are so many resources out there, but you’ve got to have a point of contact who knows both the resources and what your family may need,” she said. That’s where programs like The Arc come in. They helped with IEP navigation in school, paperwork and offered many social groups for David. “It’s really been the folks at The Arc who have helped at the school, who have helped with these fights with Medicaid, who have helped interpret what the state is saying in regards to David’s benefits,” Meyer said. Meyer sees the value in services that The Arc provides, not only for people like David, but for those with invisible disabilities. She said she has a daughter with invisible disabilities, but without obvious physical indicators, she often gets overlooked. “Some disabilities are just as challenging, but not obvious,” Meyer said. Other people with disabilities access The Arc later in life, and have different paths in the program. Roxy, 19, who asked to be identified by her first name only, has Prader-
March 24, 2022
Willi syndrome, a rare disorder which affects her appetite. She and her family live near Castle Rock in Douglas County. As her mom, Charlotte, describes it, without supervision, Roxy could eat herself to death. Growing up, Roxy had an IEP in school but otherwise did not have a lot of intervention. When Roxy was a junior thinking about life after highschool, Charlotte began to look for resources. “Junior year came along, and all of a sudden I got really anxious,” Charlotte said. The family found a class at The Arc called “step up into life after high school,” and got some valuable advice to move forward. The program emphasized that now Roxy was an adult, and her opinions and desires should be prioritized. Roxy graduated high school in 2020, and decided she wanted to study nursing. She attended junior college for a little over a semester, but was unable to control herself around food, leading to health problems. Back at home now, Roxy is adjusting to online classes. She has plans for her future, and they involve pursuing more of her passions. “Become a nurse, do more dancing and theater,” Roxy said. Roxy loves animals and enjoys playing games like poker and chess. She has advice for other people with disabilities: “Do what they wanna do, and do things they like to do,” she said. The Arc has helped Roxy get a Supported Living Services or SLS waiver through Medicaid, which provides services like funding for participating in certain community groups, which includes a theater program for Roxy. The Arc supports anyone with an I/DD, and any child with an IEP or 504 plan. The group centers itself around three types of advocacy: systems advocacy, which includes legislation, bills, finances and navigating the system, child advocacy, which supports the special education system, and adult advocacy, to help adults with disabilities navigate employment, apply for benefits, find housing, transport and more. While The Arc serves people with I/DD, it never shies away from helping people with other disabilities. With a great network of resources, their staff can help connect people with the right services. “If families don’t know where to turn, they can turn to any Arc chapter,” Wheeland said. “We never leave people hanging.” Beyond just advocacy services, The Arc works to create a community that is for everyone; with or without disabilities. The branches offer events like Oscar watching parties, craft/paint nights, game nights and more. During peak times of COVID-19, The Arc offered online programs like trivia, where people all over the country could tune in to play.

many in the group, who were jarred by a person shouting in an air horn to drown out the words of the antiabortion speakers, a woman who was topless and a request by police that the NoCo group stay within the bounds of yellow tape for their own protection, Nuffer said. Women in the group are getting involved in ways they would never feel comfortable doing alone, she said. NoCo Ladies for Liberty is restoring a lost sense of community among women, Nuffer said. “We do better in community,” she said. “The way that our country has changed, our lives have changed, women now, many of them have to go to work. What has happened is when we’re working a 9-to-5 job, trying to raise our children, something has had to give. It’s in large part been our social interaction with other women.” ‘A bunch of passionate momma bears’ Marriott, who has a 14-year-old daughter and 17-year-old son, has scheduled candidates for city council all the way to the governor’s office to speak to her Arvada group. Plus, the group connects via Zoom to meetings of the Liberty Girls and other groups around Colorado when a statewide candidate is speaking at a meeting, said Marriott, a property manager. “We are just a bunch of passionate momma bears,” she said, echoing language used by Republican women all the way up the ticket. Women are leading the GOP in this year’s statewide elections, including for governor, the U.S. Senate and secretary of state. Heidi Ganahl, a University of Colorado regent and the Republican frontrunner to challenge Democratic Gov. Jared Polis,
calls herself a “mom on a mission.” Deborah Flora, who is emerging as a top Republican in the race to unseat U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, said she’s running “because I want to be able to look at my children in the eye, and yours, and we have to be able to say to them, ‘We did everything that we could do in this day to hand them the same liberty that we enjoy.’” As Marriott’s group has grown, gathering in her house for her creamy Italian sausage pasta and another member’s now-famous soups, she’s booking candidates for various races and scheduling educational workshops. The group has held a concealed weapons class, a session on the U.S. Constitution and events on “prepping,” including how to grow microgreens and prepare in other ways for a massive food shortage. Some in the group have volunteered for election audits, analyzing Jefferson County ballots from 2018 and 2020. They campaigned for conservative candidates for the school board, though they lost, and fought against former Jefferson County Public Health Director Dawn Comstock, who resigned last month. Marriott was particularly active in fighting against COVID-19 testing for students in order to attend sports practice. The Arvada group has grown from 10 to about 130 people. “It was really the moms that stood up and started to fight,” Marriott said. “It was eating me up and I thought, ‘I have to take this and turn it into something constructive.’ We have to fight for our freedom.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

About letters to the editor Colorado Community Media welcomes letters to the editor. Please note the following rules: • Email your letter to letters@coloradocommunitymedia.com. Do not send via postal mail. Put the words “letter to the editor” in the email subject line. • Submit your letter by 5 p.m. on Wednesday in order to have it considered for publication in the following week’s newspaper. • Letters must be no longer than 400 words. • Letters should be exclusively submitted to Colorado Community Media and should not be submitted to other outlets or previously posted on websites or social media. Submitted letters become the property of CCM and should not be republished elsewhere.
• Letters advocating for a political candidate should focus on that candidate’s qualifications for office. We cannot publish letters that contain unverified negative information about a candidate’s opponent. Letters advocating for or against a political candidate or ballot issue will not be published within 30 days of an election. • Publication of any given letter is at our discretion. Letters are published as space is available. • We will edit letters for clarity, grammar, punctuation and length and write headlines (titles) for letters at our discretion. • Please don’t send us more than one letter per month. First priority for publication will be given to writers who have not submitted letters to us
recently. • Submit your letter in a Word document or in the body of an email. No PDFs or Google Docs, please. • Include your full name, address and phone number. We will publish only your name and city or town of residence, but all of the information requested is needed for us to verify you are who you say you are. • Letters will be considered only from people living in Colorado Community Media’s circulation area in Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld counties. • Do not use all caps, italics or bold text. • Keep it polite: No name calling or “mudslinging.” • Include a source — and a link to that
source — for any information that is not common knowledge. We will not publish information, including quotes, that cannot easily be verified. • We do not publish speculation about other people’s motives or thoughts. Please keep your comments to a person’s actions or statements. • Generally we will not publish multiple letters that make the same point in a given week. Only submit ideas and opinions that are your own — and in your own words. We will not publish any letter that appears to be part of a letter-writing campaign or that copies text from an outside source, such as a website. • We do not publish letters promoting a business, product or commercial service.
