Legislation a ‘gutted’ win for mobile home park residents BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the Colorado State Legislative session came to a close this year, two bills to protect and assist mobile home park residents made their way to the finish line. Co-sponsored by State Rep. Andrew Boesencker, D-Fort Collins, SB22-160 establishes the Mobile Home Park Resident Empowerment Loan Program. It creates a $35 million revolving loan and grant program to provide financing to mobile home owners seeking to organize and purchase their mobile home parks. That bill is on its way to the desk of Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. But when HB22-1287 passed earlier this year, mobile home park residents thought they garnered an important win. The bill, also co-sponsored by Boesencker, would protect park residents from unchecked lot rent increases, some as high as 50%. In addition, it also gave them more time to organize and purchase their community in the event a park owner opts to sell. But last-minute horse-trading at the State Capitol gutted the bill of its core element for the more than 100,000 Coloradoans who live in manufactured housing — the stabilization of lot rent. Together Colorado is a nonpartisan, multi-racial, multi-faith community organization that works to place human dignity at Colorado’s center of public life

Anticipating an end to ‘Roe,’ Doula Project spreads the word about safe, legal abortions BY DANA KNOWLES ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
Confidence Omenai knows what it feels like to experience the loneliness and isolation resulting from childhood trauma. At 13 years old, she was raped, became pregnant
and didn’t have supportive environment at home. “I had no idea what I was doing or if I was making the right choice, and there was no one there who loved me or cared,” she said. “That was the worst possible scenario to be in to have to make that choice.”

school and I was giving a presentation and both of my breasts were leaking and my teacher had to tap me on the shoulder to let me know,” Omenai said. “I was so confused because no one told me that after — because I was 17 weeks — no one said that afterwards my body would respond as if I delivered a child.” Her personal experience is the main reason she joined the board of directors for the Colorado Doula Project, a nonprofit that helps guide people from all over the country to safe abortion access in the state of Colorado. “We provide abortion transportation to and from procedures, when there is financial assistance needed with procedures, and food and lodging for when people are here in Colorado to receive those services and medical support,” Omenai explained. “Most of the people we serve are people of color.” The organization also helps provide support for people after abortions. “There are nuances that women need to know. When you’re nonbinary there are things you need to be prepared for when you don’t navigate the world in a cis [gendered] way,” Omenai said. “There are ways to protect yourself that should be loving and comforting and gentle.” After Politico published a leaked draft opinion from the United States Supreme Court that showed the court’s conservative justices are prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade,
Coloradans gathered at the State Capitol Tuesday, May 3 in support of safe, accessible and legal abortions.
Omenai wants to get the word out about the Colorado Doula Project. “We are constantly saying, ‘If you need help, we know where the [abortion] bans are.’ We are making phone calls, calling our friends, and posting all over social media. We are using every platform and every method at our disposal to get the word out,” she says. The draft opinion obtained by Politico would not make abortion illegal nationwide, but by overturning Roe the court would be allowing states to dramatically restrict, or outright ban, access to abortions. This would not be the case in Colorado, where Demo-
cratic lawmakers recently passed a law codifying abortion access in the state. As Kaiser Health News recently reported, Colorado is one of the few states without any restrictions on when in pregnancy an abortion can occur and is one of the few states in the region without a mandatory waiting period of up to 72 hours after required abortion counseling. Omenai feels that no matter what, no one should have to go through it alone. “A lot of people don’t discuss that sometimes you need grief counseling. Some people experience grief, and some don’t. Even when you’re per-
fectly happy with your choice and the choice was right for you, you might still experience grief and you might need to know how to handle that,” Omenai said. She says the Colorado Doula Project will continue to fight to ensure access to safe abortions, especially for the most vulnerable.

and has helped advocate and lobby for increased protection for mobile home park residents “We were greatly disappointed when the governor forced us to take lot rent stabilization out of the bill,” said Together Colorado Deputy Director Meghan Carrier. “The legislators — the champions — did the best they could to keep it, they had gotten the votes all set up, so it was ready to pass as it was.” But even without the rent stabilization piece in the bill, Carrier said the legislation still has value, so compromises had to be made. “We knew if we couldn’t get the bill over the line, there would be a lot of important protections lost,” Carrier said. “The number one thing for most residents was the lot rent stabilization. However, it’s still a very strong bill—and what this means for us is we’re not done.” Golden Hills Mobile Home Park resident Heather Malone, who saw her own lot rent increase from $550 per month to $795, has mixed feelings. “It was discouraging to see it gutted,” said Malone, who serves as vice president of her mobile home park co-op and testified on both pieces of legislation. “Because there’s still a lot of important protections in that bill, it just kinda feels like an empty win.” Other elements trimmed from
This year’s legislative session saw two bills that would protect and assist residents, like those in Golden Hills Mobile Home Park in Golden. One created a $35 million revolving loan that would help park residents organize and purchase their communities. The other set to stabilize lot rents. That bill, although it provides other important protecPHOTO BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY tions, was gutted.
the bill include reducing the time residents would have to organize and make an offer to purchase their park, from 180 days to 120. “The bill, after it passed out of the Senate Committee, had to go to appropriations,” Carrier explained. “There were legislators who wanted a compromise. It was tough to see it go down, but it’s still more than the 90 days, which is what the residents currently have. Carrier said the group also hoped the bill would go into effect immediately after being signed by Governor Polis, but they will have
to wait until Oct. 1. “So it was too much to completely walk away from, considering we weren’t starting with very many protections,” she said. “So that’s why we decided to stick around and made a commitment to our residents that we’re not done fighting.” As for SB 22-160, Carrier said the bill creates a $35 million revolving loan program to help mobile home park residents with financial and technical assistance should they wish to purchase their community. “And what’s great is it’s a revolv-
ing loan — hopefully in perpetuity — and not just a one-time grant program that will go away in a year,” she said. “I’m really excited,” Malone said of the new revolving loan program. “Because to come at anything in this real estate market takes strong financial backing.” Along with Golden Hills Mobile Home Park Co-op President Joyce Tanner, Malone helped organize and lead their community through three attempts to purchase their mobile home park. She said that powerful financial backing is critical to compete with a growing number of cash offers. “It makes a huge difference in a lot of cases,” Malone said. “Financial backing is one of the most important items, and having it all come from one place creates a better position for success. When you have to have one part of your financing coming from a grant, another coming from DOLA, and another from ROC (Resident Owned Communities USA), it’s kind of a messy package. When it all comes in a lump sum, it makes it a much stronger offer.” For Carrier, and many mobile home park residents, there is gratitude for the legislation that has passed, but it is clear their work is not done. “I don’t want to paint it as a complete loss because there are still some protections for residents moving forward,” Malone concluded. “But while it is discouraging, we’re getting on the right people’s radar, and we’ve got more protections than we’ve ever had before.”

‘Eye to Eye’ photography exhibit centers the voices of older LGBTQ+ women BY BRIAN WILLIE, VICTORIA CARODINE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
For many, coming out is arguably one of the scariest moments in a person’s life. And for some, the difficulties worsen with age — 66% of older LGBTQ+ adults fear experiencing insufficient support, and 75% of the 2.4 million LGBTQ+ adults 65 years or older in the United States will go back into the closet when they enter assisted living or senior living communities. Carey Candrian, an associate professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, wants to humanize these statistics and bring faces to the issue. Her exhibition, “Eye to Eye: Portraits of Pride, Strength, Beauty” at the Anschutz Medical Campus, aims to destigmatize the LGBTQ community through photographs. “The goal of this project is to actually see these women, see their faces and realize they’re not that scary and in hopes of really helping people; just connect human to human, person to person,” Candrian told Rocky Mountain PBS. In 2020, Candrian, who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, began interviewing and photographing LGBTQ women ages 59-85 to better understand their health disparities in palliative care, hospice, OB/GYN care and assisted living. This project

is part of her ongoing professional research, which is published in places like The Journal of Women and Aging, The Gerontologist and The Journal of Palliative Medicine. “Personally, this is a community that I am part of and I have experienced some of those effects … I want to do something about it,” she explained. “And I think from a professional reason, this is also my career.”
The result of her project is a series of portrait photographs, all taken by Candrian, accompanied by quotes from almost three dozen women sharing their fears, experiences and reflections. Underneath a photograph of Jude, an 80-year-old geologist, said, “I denied myself for 40 years. Next 40 I became who I am. Now I have a life to live.”

Dear Davis Schilken, As an avid Spring Connoisseur, I always use this time of year to clean out my entire home and business. Seeing as though this comes right after Tax Season, I also take this time to review and get rid of any old or outdated documents. What are a few things I should consider when taking part in the annual ‘Spring Cleaning?’ Sincerely, Sally Spring Dear Sally Spring, Like most of us, you use your time incredibly well. Spring is always the perfect time to really clean out and reorganize. For whatever reason, the blooming of flowers and trees are always a subtle reminder to reorganize and reenergize for the upcoming year. Always make sure to review and check your documents. This might mean checking dates, signatures, stamps, and notaries on any form within your personal life or business. Always make sure that if you are getting rid of something, it will be replaced with another that is either: 1) Identical to the previous documents; or 2) Is current or the most up-to-date document. When it comes to your Estate Planning, I would always advise you to carefully comb through your documents and ask yourself a few questions: 1) Do I know where all of my Estate Planning documents are? 2) Have I made any changes to my Estate Planning documents within the last year? 3) Do my fiduciaries or helpers know, or have copies of any of my documents? 4) Are my documents stored in a safe and secure place? The last thing we want to do is to destroy or “clean out” our most current Estate Plans. That being said, when it comes to your Estate Plans, you want to make sure you do not throw away something that is current or relevant to your Estate Plans. Think about things such as codicils or amendments to your Estate Plans. You should always keep these things in chronological order within your Estate Plans. You do NOT want to get rid of these documents. They are extremely important and will likely avoid headache in the future. Always confirm with your Attorney before getting rid of a document, and make sure you shred them! Contact our offices for valuable advice on all matters related old and current documents (303)670-9855. We are here to help! Visit our comprehensive website for more tools www.dslawcolorado.com

Hanging Lake to reopen after a year-long closure BY MATT BLOOK COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO
Hikers will get the green light to return to the beloved Hanging Lake natural area starting June 25, forest officials recently announced. The area has been closed to the public since last July, when mudslides in the Grizzly Creek Fire burn scar washed away several bridges along the lake’s main access trail. Hanging Lake itself was spared, but the trail damage made it impossible to access safely. “We’ve made speedy progress on repair work,” said Leanne Valdhius, a district ranger for the White River National Forest. “There’s a lot of emotion and excitement around this for a lot of people.” Permits went on sale on May 23. Visitors must purchase one of the $12 passes on the city of Glenwood Springs’ website before making the trek. Roughly 600 timed-entry passes will be available each day. The city will not bring back its shuttle service to the trailhead due to safety concerns, so visitors will need to drive or bike to the trailhead themselves, said Lisa Langer, vice president of marketing for Visit Glenwood Springs. “Because of the potential for bad weather, we’d prefer to have people here with their cars and be able to get them off the trail rather than wait for a shuttle bus,” she said. “When we get a lot of growth through the burn scar, we’ll start the shuttle again.” A guard will be stationed at the trailhead’s parking lot entrance, and visitors without permits will be

Large piles of rocks and debris from mudslides are visible from the main path. Other than that, the famous waterfalls and vegetation surrounding
Hanging Lake remain fully intact, forest officials say. The flash flood and mudslide that shut down Hanging Lake’s trail also mangled part of Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon, trapping more than a hundred motorists at one point and causing more than $100 million in damage. Preparations for future slides are still underway. Forest officials had to cancel

roughly 15,000 hiking reservations to Hanging Lake following the slide. Restoration work is moving along partially thanks to a public fund started by The National Forest Foundation, a federal entity responsible for funding trail projects. Great Outdoors Colorado recently awarded a $2.8 million grant of its own to support the rebuild. Workers put the finishing touches on one of the new wooden bridges lining the path on Wednesday. Each bridge is designed to withstand moderate mud flows that may come through the area again, said Joe Murphy, a builder with Summit to Sea, the main contractor hired to do trail repairs. “We’re shooting for this to last decades and decades,” Murphy said. “This is a really special place and we want it to be in great shape.” Local and federal government agencies have spent more than $150,000 to get the trail into usable shape for this summer. Other work includes re-grading some of the steep inclines along the trail and removing loose boulders and rocks near the main walkway. Design plans for a new, permanent trail are still in the preliminary stages, said Jamie Werner, stewardship coordinator with the National Forest Foundation. “The long-term plan is going to take roughly 3 years to complete,” Werner said. “We want to make this trail as sturdy and stable as possible.” This story is from Colorado Public Radio, a nonprofit news source.

Colorado milk bank sees uptick in donations Formula shortage continues nationwide BY MEGAN VERLEE COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO
The nationwide infant formula shortage has caused an increase in families seeking to purchase donated milk in Colorado according to Mother’s Milk Bank, an Arvadabased nonprofit that collects and distributes donated breast milk. However, the group has also seen an increase in women donating milk, and they’re looking for more volunteers. “We started to say, ‘Don’t forget donated milk as a resource,’” said Jodye Whitesell, communications director for Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, which operates the bank. In response, they’ve seen “a pretty big spike in phone calls for donations.” Mother’s Milk Bank is one of the largest of the 32 non-profit milk banks in North America and distributes across Colorado, as well as to numerous other states. The vast majority of its supplies go to neonatal ICUs, but it also serves around 30 to 40 outpatient families a week, according to Whitesell. Colorado’s Department of Human Services is partnering with the bank to encourage donations of both milk and money to help cover the processing fee for lower-income
families. The state is also warning parents of the dangers of diluting formula or trying to make their own at home, and providing resources for places families in the WIC program may be able to turn to if they can’t find formula on store shelves. Oversight hearing on the cause of the shortage Senior executives with the three biggest formula makers — Abbott Nutrition, Gerber Products Company, and Reckitt — will appear before a Congressional oversight committee chaired by Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette to answer questions about the shortage. “There’s no excuse for what’s happening all across this country right now,” said DeGette in a statement announcing the hearing. “We want to know from the witnesses we hear from next week exactly what happened and how it happened; but more importantly we want to know what needs to be done to get more infant formula on the shelves as quick as possible.” The panel will also hear from top officials at the FDA. The Food and Drug Administration recently announced it will streamline the process for overseas makers of formula to import their products, if they meet U.S. safety and nutritional standards.

Colorado identifies five cases of a mystery hepatitis in children No deaths reported yet from rare disease BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado has reported its first cases of severe hepatitis of unknown cause in kids, adding to a growing number of cases nationally being investigated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of May 10, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment had reported five potential instances to the CDC. All met the CDC’s broad definition for cases — mainly that they occurred in kids ages 10 or younger and that doctors didn’t know what caused them. None of the five kids in Colorado died or required liver transplants as a result of their illnesses, though four were hospitalized. CDPHE says all five children either recovered or are in the process of recovering. One case dates to December and was reported to the CDC last month. The other four cases were reported to the CDC over the past couple of weeks. Several of the kids were treated at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Dr. Sam Dominguez, an infectious disease expert at the hospital, said not all of the kids have been severely ill but were instead sometimes admitted to keep their condition from worsening. He said, despite the concern around the cases, they remain rare. “I think there are lots of unanswered questions, and we’re still in

louder voice,” explained Candrian. “I think the voices that these pictures give them is that ‘we have a life worth living.’ According to her, these women took a risk to break their silence and show up as their true selves. “The photos have helped me take it to another level to really be able to make sense of this,” said Candrian. “And I think that’s been the biggest thing is that research is so impor-
the infancy of learning what’s going on here,” he said. Only one of the children in Colorado tested positive for adenovirus, a common virus that is at the center of the leading hypothesis for what is causing the new cases of mystery hepatitis. Beware of jaundice Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, and it can have many causes. The best known causes are viral — Hepatitis A, B and C — but medications and other health conditions can also cause it. The CDC said earlier this month that it had identified 109 potential cases across the country — the first ones having been seen in Alabama last fall. There have been five reported deaths nationwide, and 14 kids have required a liver transplant. Many of the stricken children require hospitalization and suffer from jaundice. Dominguez said the kids in Colorado were usually brought in for jaundice — parents noticed their skin or eyes turning yellow. Some had previously had an illness with fever and diarrhea, but not all. In a briefing with reporters, Dr. Jay Butler, the CDC’s deputy director for infectious diseases, said the number of cases identified so far is not above baseline levels, but disease investigators are watching closely because of how many of the cases have occurred in previously healthy children. “Although rare, children can have serious hepatitis, and it’s not uncommon for the cause to be unknown,” Butler said. tant, the science is so important in it, but we lose the individual behind it.” Candrian believes that while conditions have improved overall, hurtful stigmas and assumptions about the LGBTQ community hinders older LGBTQ people from getting proper care and humanity as they age — a practice that is not only unfair, but extremely damaging. And often, it’s easy to forget the person behind the statistics. “We know that there are actually concrete health effects on older LGBT communities like heart disease, certain cancers, anxiety, even suicide,” Candrian explained.
Zooming in on adenovirus A number of kids stricken with the mystery hepatitis, both in the United States and in the United Kingdom, have tested positive for a type of adenovirus known as adenovirus 41. Unlike most adenoviruses, which are respiratory bugs, adenovirus 41 attacks the digestive system. It has been known to cause hepatitis in kids who are immunocompromised, but it has not previously been known to cause hepatitis in kids with no known underlying health conditions, Butler said. That’s just one of the mysteries surrounding the new cases. There’s no indication that adenovirus cases are surging, Butler said, though he acknowledged that the U.S. lacks the kind of robust case-tracking system that it has for COVID or even the flu. Scientists are hoping to genetically sequence the adenovirus found in kids with hepatitis to see if it has picked up a significant mutation — but they’ve been having trouble doing so because the viral loads are so low when the kids are diagnosed. Butler said that may point to an immune response to the adenovirus infections as being the real cause. COVID vaccines not to blame Researchers are also trying to learn more about whether previous COVID-19 infections played a role, though, in a case study of nine kids from Alabama that the CDC released last week, none of the children had known prior COVID infections. One thing Butler said is certain: COVID-19 vaccines almost certainly are not causing the cases. That’s because most of the children affected “So we know these things exist and they’re not getting much better … We have good research to show that these disparities exist. But we aren’t doing a lot to actually do something about it.” And Candrian hopes her photographs will leave a positive, lasting impact on the people who see them, and change the conversations about the aging LGBTQ community. “These are very good people who want the same things as you want, as other people want. They want to love. They want to be loved,” Candrian said. “ And why I think we
— “the vast majority,” Butler said — are too young to be vaccinated. “COVID-19 vaccination is not the cause,” Butler said flatly. So researchers continue to seek answers. Is there an environmental cause or maybe another, undiagnosed infection? Is it related to a medication? Is it something that happens every year but doctors — especially vigilant during a pandemic — are only just now picking up on? “This is an evolving situation, and we’re casting a wide net to help broaden our understanding,” he said. CDPHE, meanwhile, is also stepping up its tracking. Ordinarily, noninfectious cases of hepatitis are not things that doctors have to report to the state. But the agency last month sent out an alert to health care providers asking them to tell the state about any cases of pediatric hepatitis with an unknown cause. Dominguez, the Children’s doctor, said parents will want to bring their kids in for medical help if they notice any yellowing of the skin or eyes or if their children have had an ongoing fever with diarrhea. While worth being aware of, Dominguez said parents can take comfort in one thing. “It’s still a relatively rare disease,” he said. “I think that’s the good news.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Inflation hits hard
R
ecently, like many of you, my eyes popped when looking at the grand total after self-scanning a small number of groceries. How in the world I can spend $80 on a group of items that fit into one bag? My 8-year-old son even said, “Wow, mom. How did you spend so much so fast?” Me: “Inflation, honey. Inflation.” FROM THE We are seeing no relief anywhere as EDITOR prices on everything are going up. Getting gasoline last week, I didn’t event fill my tank up and spend over $50. Going out to dinner, which is becoming rarer, features little notes posted to menus apologizing for having to raise prices but stressing they have no choice. In today’s economy, we are seeing no relief anywhere. The housing market has homes selling for well above what they Thelma Grimes are worth, groceries are becoming a pick and choose your treats kind of experience and getting gas just makes you worry about how high the price will be the next time you fill up. Even more worrisome than the prices is the supply chain issues. For those women with infants looking for formula right now – I cannot imagine the level of worry they are facing as shelves are bare and transparency on what is going on is low. I know I am blessed because we are getting by. We are managing to pay keep up with the cost of inflation. We are able to manage the gas prices. However, my concern is with some friends and family and people who are not able to keep up. At the current rate of inflation, families are seeing costs increase by nearly $300 per month. Labor department data has consumer prices exceeding 8% with no end in sight. The cost of living before inflation was already becoming unbearable. Now, families are having to budget for an added $300 per month. Rent and mortgage rates give no relief. In attending the annual Parker State of the Town event on May 12, guest speaker Patty Silverstein from Development Research Partners said rent rates continue to go up and that is likely to continue. The nation and world are stressed out, and trying to be optimistic as the dominoes fall has become a lot harder for many families just trying to stay afloat. In thinking about all the data pushed my way last week, I found myself asking — who is getting ahead in this country? It is no secret that the rich are getting richer. But when do the poor and the middle class just get ahead to where they do not have to stress about paying the added $1 for a gallon of milk? There is talk of increasing interest rates not once, not twice, but as Silverstein put it, maybe a third time. I can’t say I am overly optimistic that those steps are going to settle the dust of skyrocketing inflation. Like many, I do not see where our leaders have a clear plan to help families get some stability and my worry is not only will those families no longer be able to stay afloat, but they will continue to sink as the raft they are barely holding on to continues to deflate.

o you know that a very special park exists in District 4 that honors the 200,000 Jews and Ukrainians who were massacred by Nazis in World War II? Babi Yar Park is a Denver park located near East Yale Avenue and Havana Street GUEST in the Hampden neighborCOLUMN hood. It was created in 1982 by community members as a Holocaust memorial and is a reminder to us all to come together in opposition to oppression and violence. Denver’s Babi Yar Park honors the lives lost and teaches a universal principal: when one group Councilmember of people is harmed as Kendra Black others remain silent and indifferent, all humankind suffers. When the Russians attacked Ukraine in February, community members asked to come together in support of Ukraine in Babi Yar Park. On March 27, hundreds of people came to the park for an Interfaith Gathering for Peace in Support of the Ukrainian People. We were joined by representatives of the Ukrainians of Colorado organization who shared a prayer with us. Native American Rick Williams of the Ogalala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne tribes performed a blessing, and Rabbis Ray Zwerin, Emily Hyatt and Aharon Sirota all led prayers and shared inspirational words. It was a very special event and so meaningful to our Ukrainian friends who live in Denver. People were — and still are — encouraged to donate to Ukrainians of Colorado and Project Cure

to fund much-needed medical supplies for Ukraine. I was honored to help coordinate this important event in solidarity with Ukraine. If you’ve never been to Babi Yar Park, you should visit it. It is a very special and meaningful park. According to The Cultural Landscape Foundation, the memorial is laid out around a centralized pathway configured as a Star of David. The park is entered through a narrow passage between two inscribed black granite monoliths. A path ascends a berm plated with cottonwood and willow, before descending into a bowl-shaped amphitheater which has a circular platform at its center. The Grove of Remembrance consists of 100 lindens planted in a grid, representing the 200,000 people killed at Babi Yar during WWII. A ravine reminiscent of the location where victims were buried in Kyiv runs along the western edge of the site. It is crossed by a narrow bridge with high wood walls, which evoke train cars used by Nazis to transport prisoners. The edges of the site are planted as a prairie with native grasses, yucca and prickly pear. On a lighter note, my team and I are working hard with community members to advocate for a future southeast Denver skate park and BMX track. We are hoping that it could be somehow incorporated into the existing abandoned drainage infrastructure adjacent to Kennedy Golf Course, which is located at 10500 E. Hampden Ave. There’s much to do before this becomes a reality, but we are hopeful that Denver Parks and Recreation’s Outdoor Adventure and Alternative Sports Master Plan will recommend a skate

S
usan Cooper is a Denverbased, nationally recognized artist, known for her large works in the realm of public art, created with media including plexiglass, steel and copper, LED lighting, concrete, polycarbonate steel, wood and SONYA’S bronze. SAMPLER A colorful retrospective of her work opened May 14 at Curtis Center for the Arts, 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village and will run through June 25. It is called “Susan Cooper: RearrangSonya Ellingboe ing.” It includes large works like “Corona Comfort,” created from scraps of brightly colored plexiglass saved from earlier projects. She writes in the show’s prospectus that they were non-biodegradable and vibrant in color. Some were too huge to move and some show images from past projects. “Forward and Back,” a particularly lively, brightly colored paper mural, is made of cut-up postcards that were printed to advertise earlier exhibits by Cooper. A companion piece, “Rearranging Retrospectionism,” is on a similar theme, but made from black-and-white postcards, which Cooper says were all she could afford at first. Walk on into the exhibit and she surely shows an intent to play with your mind, as she messes with perspective! Chairs and tables, lamps and beds skew in various ways and angles. Some are actual furniture pieces — sort of — and others are wall-hung artworks. “Just not functional furniture,” she writes. Bright color prevails in general, with the exception of a pair of

Everyone is welcome to join us and learn about the sport from professional instructors. We’ll have some loaner equipment as well as music and a food truck. I am thrilled to be hosting our fifth annual South by Southeast festival on Aug. 20 in Bible Park, 6802 E. Yale Ave. As always, we will have live music, food trucks, games, a beer garden, local vendors and more. The festival is free, for all ages, and a certifiably green event, so plan on walking or biking and bringing your own refillable water bottle. Parks and sustainability remain top priorities for the District 4 team. I am proud to have sponsored the Bring Your Own Bag ordinance as well as the Opt-In for Cutlery and Condiments bill.

bronze cast wall pieces, “Highwise” and “Full House,” in her Storyline Series. They call a visitor to stare at the detail. All of these artworks show a precise attention to fine craftsmanship and a fascinating intellect. These works relate in my mind to surrealism — they are indeed surreal, yet include objects that are so familiar. Cooper’s bio says she received MA and BA degrees from the University of California at Berkeley and has an early major work in Denver’s City/

So many of us don’t think about the tremendous amount of waste that is dumped at the landfill or know that landfills are a major contributor of methane, which is 25 times more potent than CO2. To reduce the amount of waste that goes to the landfill and increase recycling and composting, Denver City Council will be voting on a proposal in June that will provide free weekly composting and recycling for residents and charge a fee for the black bin that is destined for the landfill. You can learn more about the proposal here: https://bit. ly/3O3gODt. Bringing more public art to southeast Denver is another top priority. Have you seen the colorful art featuring animals on intersection electrical boxes? If so, that’s when you know you are in District 4.

a smile to everyone as does the new mural that was recently unveiled at the Hampden Branch Library. “Four Harmonious Friends of Denver” was created by Tsogo Mijid, Eriko Tsogo and Mongolian students who live in southeast Denver.

Experts around Denver metro area weigh in on the popular sport BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
T
he South Platte River is a great place to get fish to bite, but local anglers say there’s a lot more to know about the river — and the sport — than just throwing out a line. The sport of fly fishing, popularized in part by American novelist Ernest Hemingway, is a popular fishing method that involves sight fishing — actual-

ly spotting the fish in the water before you cast — and uses a special rod, reel, line and flies. The flies themselves are not real. They mimic the fish’s natural diet of insects in the streams and rivers in which they live. Anglers often have a whole kit full of different flies to match the “local cuisine” of bugs where they are fishing. The Denver South Platte Rick Mikesell’s family has lived in Denver for three generations. He has dedicated many hours to fishing on the Denver South Platte, both on his own time and as a guide. He works as operations manager at Trouts Fly Fishing. The Denver South Platte,
which runs right through the city, isn’t exactly what one might picture as a traditional fishing destination. The urban location often has obstacles like rebar, scrap metal, shopping carts and other hazards in the water. Unhoused people often spend time near the river, setting up camp along the banks. Mikesell said he frequently has people hesitant to fish in these areas because of this population, but he said being respectful to people on the river yields the best results. “I’ve never had a negative experience as long as I treat other people with respect,” he said.
Colorado Parks & Wildlife does not stock the Denver section of the South Platte. A private entity stocks trout in the metro area, but the other fish in the river, including small mouth bass, carp and walleye, are naturally occurring. Unfortunately for trout, their life cycle in the DSP can be fairly short. When temperatures begin to rise, these fish start dying. “When we get into the summertime … .the summer gets really warm. For a trout, water over 68 degrees gets really stressful,” Mikesell said. SEE FISHING, P13

‘Once we get into late May, early June, those fish are at the best time of their lives.’

Trouts Fly Fishing works on conservation efforts where the outfitter cleans the waters of the river and fundraises for conservation of the area. The group, according to Mikesell, does not believe the DSP should be stocked with trout at this time due to the warm water temperatures. Further up the hill, things may not be better for trout. The North Fork of the South Platte The natural flow of the North Fork is that of a small creek. The waters are polluted with heavy metals like iron, copper and aluminum from various mining operations, according to Mikesell. Denver Water releases more water through Roberts Tunnel from Dillon Reservoir for their service areas, which increases the flow of the river and allows various outfitters to stock the waters with fish. That is how Mikesell explained the area of the North Fork, which flows into DSP, and John Ellis, longtime angler and member of Evergreen Metro Water Board, corroborated what Mikesell said. “When it’s real low, the minerals get on their gills and clogs them and essentially suffocates them,” Ellis said. Ellis is also a board member of Evergreen Trout Unlimited. The group’s goal is to conserve and protect coldwater fisheries. Right now, even in the foothills, conservation groups are worried about the warming waters, too. “We’re very concerned with climate change,” Ellis said. His group is working to monitor water temperatures in tributary streams to learn about warming, and members are hoping to replenish the Greenback Cutthroat Trout population, which happens to be Colorado’s state fish. The warmer water can spell trouble for the resident insect populations, which are the food source for these fish. Warmer water can also mean less oxygenation for fish. “How is the bug life doing? As it heats up, sometimes there’s less bugs, then they don’t have the bugs to eat,” Ellis said. “As water gets warmer, it doesn’t have as much oxygen.” Getting out there Fishing the DSP, North Fork and countless other streams

Rick Mikesell, fly fishing guide and lakes in Colorado can be a fun way to spend a warm summer day. Mikesell said the sport might take a little getting used to, though. “For Denver South Platte, while it’s a high quality fishery, it’s not really beginner friendly,” he said. He said learning to fish the river will take some casting skills and gear. He said becoming a good angler requires a lot of practice. “If the angler is willing to work at it and spend time, they can improve,” Mikesell said. After spending years with a fishing rod in hand, even Mikesell doesn’t slay fish every day. “I’ve been doing it for over 20 years, and I still have bad days all the time,” he said. Michelle White, owner of Tumbling Trout Fly Shop in Lake George, has been fly fishing for over 20 years. When she became interested in guiding a number of years ago, she found herself stuck in a male-dominated sport and industry. So she decided to change it. “One of the reasons I started my own fly fishing business seven years ago … no one would even look at my resume, so I started my own guide service,” she said. Now, she encourages women to get involved in the sport. With lots of women’s beginner fishing groups popping up around Colorado, she hopes all beginners can enjoy the sport. “Grab a friend and hire a guide and maybe join one of the women’s fly fishing groups,” she advised.

to go out and fish, Ellis recommends a slightly overcast day for better vision, and Mikesell said to avoid the heat and avoid fishing right after rain storms, which can cloud the water. Both anglers agreed that one of the most important pieces of gear to have is a pair of polarized sunglasses. According to Mikesell, during the month of May, the bass and

A quick Google search can yield hundreds of results for outfitters and guide services for fly fishing in Colorado, so the eager angler can take their pick, or simply get out there and start casting.

State to have office to investigate cases of murdered, missing Indigenous people BY TATIANA FLOWERS AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado will form an office to bolster the state’s ability to investigate missing and murdered Indigenous people after an intensely negotiated bill passed in the final days of the state’s 2022 legislative session. Disagreements about how the Office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives should be formed and in which existing state agency it should be housed stoked tensions between Gov. Jared Polis, the lawmakers sponsoring the bill and interest groups. The legislation’s fate even appeared to be in doubt at one point. But after the bill was amended based on some of the governor’s recommendations, Polis told The Colorado Sun he will sign Senate Bill 150 into law. “We just wanted to make it work, like we do anything,” Polis said. “Like any bill, it could have been better. But … this helps us investigate these cases, so I’ll be signing.” The new Office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives will be housed in the Colorado Department of Public Safety. It will serve as a liaison between the department and the Indigenous community, with the aid of a board composed of tribal representatives, law enforcement and social services workers. The creation of the office, and the cost to build the Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s capacity to work on cases of missing or murdered Indigenous people, is about $500,000. The measure will also require any law enforcement agency that receives a report of a missing Indigenous person notify the Colorado Bureau of Investigation within eight hours of receiving a report of a missing adult or two hours of receiving a report of a missing child. Denver ranks 7th in the nation, among U.S. cities, with the highest number of cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls that are not included in law enforce-

C R O S SWO R D Nominations being accepted P U Z Z L E for endangered Colorado places
Sullivan Gateway, which is located on the north side of Colfax Avenue near Denver East High School, was listed on Colorado’s Most Endangered Places list in 2012. COURTESY PHOTO
Colorado residents are encouraged to nominate a historic place in Colorado that is currently threatened to be considered for Colorado’s Most Endangered Places list. Any individual or organization can make a nomination. Nominations can be in response to threats to historic buildings and sites, including abandonment and neglect, development pressures, extreme weatherization and climate and other factors. Deadline to submit a nomination is Aug. 22. Nominations can be submitted online at coloradopreservation. org/endangered-places-programnomination-form. Nominations can come from across Colorado — rural or within a city. A rural example is the Iglesia de San Antonio-Tiffany Catholic Church in southeastern La Plata County. This building was constructed in 1928 and conveys the story of Hispano history in the area. It was listed in 2019 and its threat when listed was demolition by neglect, vandalism, lack of resources and weatherization. An urban nomination example is Sullivan Gateway, which is located on the north side of Colfax Avenue near Denver East High School. This
structure was built in 1917 to serve as a grand entry to the City Park Esplanade. It was listed in 2012 with its threat being deterioration and vandalism. Colorado’s Most Endangered Places list is a program of Colorado Preservation, Inc., a local nonprofit historic preservation advocacy organization that was established in 1984. The Endangered Places program is in its 25th year. It serves to work “with local advocates to identify, preserve and interpret historic buildings, sites and resources that do so much to add variety and character to our cities, towns and rural areas,” states a news release. Since 1997, Colorado Preservation, Inc., has worked with communities throughout the state to save more than 130 nominated sites. Of these, 54 have been considered saved, 47 are in progress and 22 are on alert status. According to the press release, “only seven sites have been lost in 23 years of soliciting nominations.” To learn more about Colorado’s Most Endangered Places list or Colorado Preservation, Inc., visit coloradopreservation.org. Specific questions about a potential nomination can be directed to Kim Grant at 303-893-4260 ext.222 or kgrant@coloradopreservation.org.

position in the state attorney general’s office to focus on those cases and increases data collection and education while also providing grant funding to improve reporting of missing persons cases. “There’s a lot of work to do and this bill will hopefully go a long way into rectifying that and hopefully even bring some of our relatives home,” said Gina Lopez, a Native American woman, who is a member of the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, and a part of the task force that pushed for the Colorado bill. The bill is important because, for too long, Indigenous people have gone lost, missing or murdered without any investigation or acknowledgement, said State Rep. Leslie Herod, a Denver Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill. Comprehensive data about missing and murdered Indigenous people is sparse and it is collected in different
ways by different agencies. Getting better data is part of the reason the new office is so important, Lopez said. The bill requires new data-collection and requires that law enforcement officers receive training about missing and murdered Indigenous people. “We need to establish an office that is going to be be responsible for capturing this information because the truth of the matter is we don’t know the scope of what the impact is of missing and murdered here in Colorado,” she said. But the measure’s passage was far from guaranteed. In a letter to the bill’s sponsors in mid-April, Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera and Stan Hilkey, executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Safety, said the Polis administration had concerns about creating the new office within the Department of Public Safety. The bill creates a broad scope of work with expectations that are beyond the current mission of the Department of Public Safety, the letter said. The document encouraged the bill’s sponsors to work with Primav-
era’s office to identify ways to instead engage the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs on the issue, which is “better suited,” the letter says. “We are unable to support SB22-150 as currently written,” the letter said. “However, our objectives are aligned, we are committed to seeking justice for MMIR (missing and murdered Indigenous relatives), and we are eager to work with you and your stakeholders to accomplish these goals.” Herod said that an amendment to the bill adopted on the second to last day of the 2022 legislative session eased the Polis administration’s concerns. Most of the measure remained substantially intact, though the Department of Public Safety will now be able to determine how much staffing it needs for the office instead of being directed to hiring a certain number of employees. “It’s very, very similar to what we first wrote,” said Sen. Jessie Danielson, a Wheat Ridge Democrat and another prime sponsor of the bill, “which I think shows that the community stuck to their ground and moved the governor.” State Rep. Monica Duran, D-Wheat
Ridge, also was a prime sponsor of the measure. The hope is that the final product, which passed with limited opposition, will aid people like Willa Whiteskunk, whose son went missing in July of 2000, when he was 21. Whiteskunk, whose brother was also murdered, said the last time she saw her son Odell J. Vest, was in their home in Towaoc, the capital of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in southwest Colorado. “I just wait, I wait, I wait, I wait,” Whiteskunk said earlier this month. “I live my life day by day.” She has heard from investigators only a couple of times since Vest disappeared. They say the same things when they contact her, she said. “We’re still looking, we’re still searching.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION Casey Horn and Daniel Teitsort are notified that a petition for adoption of a child, named Brendan Teitsort, born on July 27, 2020 (the “Child”), was filed in the office of the Clerk of the Hamilton Superior Court, Room No. 1, One Hamilton County Square, Noblesville, Indiana. The petition for adoption alleges that the consents to adoption of Casey Horn and Daniel Teitsort are not required pursuant to Indiana Code § 31-19-9-8(a) (2), because Casey Horn and Daniel Teitsort have failed, without justifiable cause, to communicate significantly with the Child when able to do so for a period of one year or more; has knowingly failed to provide for the care and support of the Child when able to do so as required by law or judicial decree for a period of one year or more; and the consents of Casey Horn and Daniel Teitsort are not required pursuant to the provisions of Indiana Code § 31-19-9-8 (a)(11) because they are unfit to be parents, and the best interests of the child sought to be adopted would be served if the court dispensed with their consents. If Casey Horn or Daniel Teitsort, or both, seeks to contest the adoption of the child, the contesting person must file a motion to contest the adoption in accordance with IC 31-19-10-1 in the above named court not later than thirty (30) days after the date of service of this notice. If Casey Horn or Daniel Teitsort does not file a motion to contest the adoption within thirty (30) days after service of this notice the above named court will hear and determine the petition for adoption. The consents to adoption of Casey Horn and Daniel Teitsort will be irrevocably implied and Casey Horn and Daniel Teitsort will lose the right to contest either the adoption or the validity of their implied consents to the adoption. No statement made to Casey Horn or Daniel Teitsort relieves Casey Horn or Daniel Teitsort of their obligations under this notice. This notice complies with IC 31-19-4.5-3 but does not exhaustively set forth a person’s legal obligations under the Indiana adoption statutes. A person being served with this notice should consult the Indiana adoption statutes. Kathy Kreag Williams CLERK, HAMILTON SUPERIOR COURT ROOM NO. 1 Steven M.
