‘We cannot become numb to it’: Colorado leaders react to elementary school shooting in Texas

BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Familiar feelings of dread set in May 24 after a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. An 18-yearold gunman opened fire in classrooms, killing at least 19 children and two adults.

The attack happened at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, a predominantly Latino town west of San Antonio. Law enforcement officers reportedly killed the shooter.

Nearly 1,000 miles away in Colorado, state leaders reacted to the tragedy with a common message: shootings of this type are hauntingly familiar, and action is needed to prevent similar massacres in the future.

“Another senseless tragedy and another painful reminder that we SEE SHOOTING, P4

A theater experience like no other And Toto too Theatre Company’s Play Crawl returns June 8

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The last time And Toto too Theatre Company’s Play Crawl took place was in 2019. So because it was

cancelled the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Play Crawl this year is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

“It’s such a happy, high-energy event,” said Susan Lyles, executive director of And Toto too Theatre Company. “I’m glad to be getting back at it.”

The 2022 Play Crawl takes place on June 8 in the Tennyson Arts District. The event begins with a mixer and silent auction at 5:30 p.m. with

the evening wrapping up at about 10 p.m. The Play Crawl begins at 7 p.m.

At 6:30 p.m., attendees will break into groups of about 10 and crawl leaders will take each group from venue to venue, ensuring there is only one group in a venue at a time.

There are nine venues participating this year — seven are brick-andmortar galleries and shops, and two will be a street performance.

The third week of May was a brutal one for the U.S. economy, especially for those with money to invest.

In Colorado, the economic news seemed a little more upbeat.

The state’s unemployment rate fell to 3.6% in April, the lowest since before the pandemic.

More Coloradans are back to work, with 15,400 returning to jobs in April.

Average hourly earnings grew 10% in the past year to $34.34 while the work week shrunk 12 minutes from last year to 33.3 hours.

This and other Colorado job data was released May 20, but more on that below.

It’s rising gasoline prices that everyone is talking about.

But even as everywhere in the state went above $4 per gallon, the increase had less impact on Colorado than anywhere else in America, according to an analysis of the 200 largest cities by LawnStarter, a lawn service with its own data and editorial team who put together reports on SEE GAS, P2

impacts to the lawn care industry.

“Interestingly, five of the six Colorado cities we ranked also had the five lowest percentage increases over the past year leading up to May 17 — Fort Collins wasn’t far behind at No. 9,” Jason Medina, LawnStarter’s managing editor, said in an email. “That tells us that Coloradans have either been staying home more, not driving as much, or both during this time period.”

Coloradans also pay less taxes on gas than most Americans, he added.

The state had the 10th lowest motorfuel tax per gallon, of about 22 cents.

A new 2-cent gas tax to help pay for transportation projects in the state was just delayed by lawmakers by nine months and now starts in April.

“That, of course, doesn’t include other taxes like local taxes and a new gas fee that’s being delayed, though it would add only 2 more cents per gallon. The delay isn’t providing much relief — at least not at the pump,” he said. “However, the state gas tax makes up a big chunk of total taxes and is relatively lower than what many Americans pay.”

Gas prices and inflation The data tracks closely with the weekly gas price report from AAA. This week, Colorado had the fourth lowest average price for a gallon of regular gas. The states with lower prices were Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma, which had the lowest at

Current gas prices in Walden on April 15, 2022.

$4.03.

Colorado’s cost jumped a penny from last week, to $4.137 a gallon and was up from a year ago’s $3.089, according to AAA. Colorado is at the highest per-gallon price in 22 years, which is how long AAA has tracked Colorado data.

Nationwide, gas prices averaged $4.589 a gallon. On the other end, California averaged $6.061.

But being the least-impacted state in an uncertain economy doesn’t change economist Kishore Kulkarni’s outlook: it’s dismal. We’ve been hugely impacted already. Gas is averaging $1 or more per gallon than it was a year ago. In fact, the rising gas prices may have finally gotten everyone to notice inflation, but those who earn less may start seeing recent wage gains canceled at the gas pump.

Blame the Russian war on Ukraine, said Kulkarni, who teaches at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Both countries produce crude oil and all of that production is being impacted, not to mention sanctions and bans on Russian oil.

“We use a lot of gasoline. We use almost one-fifth of the world’s gasoline stock,” Kulkarni said. “And that has really started the whole thing of the recent inflation, the expected inflation in the future, as well as the actual inflation in the U.S. economy. And both are increasing. And because we don’t see an end to (the war) for a while, at least, this is going to get worse.”

The U.S. produces 20% of the world’s oil while also consuming 20%, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Other inflationary factors were already underway before the war, Kulkarni added. Supply chain disruptions in the pandemic created shortages that caused prices to jump. Unprecedented government pandemic spending, which many Americans received directly in their bank accounts, led to the Fed increasing the money supply. It’s now at $21.8 trillion compared with $15.5 trillion in February 2020.

“We have a perfect storm brewing because of all these different reasons in the U.S. economy, and in a way,” Kulkarni said, “it’s not surprising that we have gotten to 7.9 to 8% inflation, which is the highest in the last 42 years.”

Each venue will feature a micro play that is about two-to-three minutes in length. All the plays are original premiers written by nine local-to-Colorado woman playwrights.

This year’s participating playwrights are Rebecca Gorman O’Neill, Leslie C. Lewis, Melissa Lucero McCarl, Linda Berry, Christie Brenner Winn, Edith Weiss, Nina Alice Miller, Ellen K. Graham and Nicolette Vajtay.

“Without question, (the Play Crawl is) one of the most unique theatrical experiences you can take part in or watch,” said Melissa Lucero McCarl of Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood who has been involved with the Play Crawl for nine years. “I love how it highlights so many worthy local businesses while commissioning a bunch of micro plays.”

And Toto too Theatre Company is a nonprofit that formed in 2005 to promote women artists and playwrights.

“Only 22% of plays produced nationally are written by women,” Lyles said in a news release. “This unique fundraising event of the year not only raises money for And Toto too Theatre Company, it also highlights the talents of Colorado women playwrights.”

Kate Poling of Lakewood has participated in the Play Crawl several times

A big problem with financial crises is that they don’t hit all people the same way. Even in the pandemic, many higher-paid workers could work from home, avoid getting sick by staying away from crowds and cut down on gas consumption.

“Financial crises are never equitable. They don’t care about the differences in the economy, the poor suffer a whole lot more than the rich,” Kulkarni said. “And the same thing happens with inflation. Inflation is inequitable because it hurts the poor more than it hurts the rich.”

There’s not an easy solution, but he suggests looking at programs to reduce poverty so people are overall better off to start with — protect the income of the lower-wage workers.

“The situation can turn around,” he said. “Let’s suppose we have a stoppage of war, some kind of peace where the pipeline of Russia starts flowing again. Suppose we have a reduction of gasoline prices because of that. Suppose OPEC countries actually do say ‘Let’s increase the supply of oil to the maximum capacity’ then oil prices will go down and inflation can be blocked. Interest rate increases are going to slow down our demand structure, which is a step which was needed for a while. … But in that scenario, if we go back to the peacetime quickly then we probably turn around. Otherwise, I don’t know when this is going to end.”

must act,” Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said in a series of tweets. “Prayers and thoughts mean well. They are indeed comforting. But action is better. We as a society have to act.”

“This morning I visited Mancos Elementary School and saw the joy on the faces of students and teachers in their last week of school as they looked forward to new adventures this summer and next school year,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said. “Now fourteen students and a teacher at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas had their joy ended forever from a cold blooded attack and their parents, friends and families won’t ever hold them in their arms again or be able to watch them grow. Colorado’s hearts are heavy for our friends in Texas and join in showing love for the families and community affected.”

Polis released his statement before the full death toll was

reported.

The Uvalde shooting happened just 10 days after a racist attack at a Buffalo grocery store that left 10 people dead. And this year alone, there have already been 27 school shootings, according to data from Education Week. Renewed calls for gun control legislation arose following the tragedy in Uvalde.

“This horrific gun violence is uniquely American. We cannot become numb to it,” tweeted Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado. “We need to act and #EndGunViolence now.”

For his part, Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), who was serving as the Governor of Colorado during the Century 16 movie theater shooting in Aurora, said, “As a parent, I weep. Our children deserve so much better than this nightmare. We need to protect our future from this senseless violence.”

Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado said, in part, “We cannot lose more children or loved ones. We must find a way to solve our country’s gun violence epidemic & save lives.”

Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren

Boebert, a staunch supporter of gun ownership who once said she would bring a handgun to Congress, encouraged people to “turn to God for comfort and healing,” later adding from her campaign’s Twitter account that “You cannot legislate away evil.”

Craig Nasion, a survivor of the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, said, “This is America.

There is no end in sight for the steady cadence of mass gun violence we seem unwilling to ever address. A reality my peers could not have imagined on our worst day in April 1999.”

President Biden delivered a televised address May 24 to talk about the Uvalde shooting.

“Why are we willing to live with this carnage?” the president asked. “Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it and stand up to the [gun] lobbies? It’s time to turn this pain into action.”

As Biden emphasized in his remarks, most Americans support legislation that would help curtail gun violence. But such bills have been nonstarters in

Congress, largely due to the fact that they would require Republican support in order to pass. Less than a day after the shooting in Uvalde, several GOP lawmakers have already made it clear that they would not support gun control legislation. Some are instead advocating for arming teachers, a policy that is unpopular on a national level.

After the shooting in Uvalde, NPR spoke with Ron Avi Astor, a mass shooting expert and professor at UCLA, who said he is unsure why gun laws have barely changed since the Sandy Hook shooting 10 years ago.

“Maybe it is money. Maybe it is the gun lobby. Maybe it’s become politicized and an ideological thing,” Astor said, “but [gun violence] should be treated as a public health measure.”

Colorado climate conference warns of ‘small window’ to act

Christopher Stimpson, a Westminster resident, asks city council what they have done PHOTO BY LUKE ZARZECKI to combat climate change.

There is 49% more heat currently trapped by human-emitted greenhouse gases

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Some of the nation’s leading climate scientists May 23 sounded an alarm about the urgency of addressing climate change over the next decade, as a key index used to measure humans’ impact on the warming planet ticked higher.

“Unfortunately,” said Ko Barrett, a senior climate advisor to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a vice chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, “what we see is dire.”

Barrett was giving a keynote address to NOAA’s 50th Global Monitoring Annual Conference. The conference is hosted by NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory, which is based in Boulder, though the conference is virtual this year.

As the name suggests, the conference brings together scientists with an expertise in climate monitoring — one presentation Monday, for instance, involved the possible use of instruments mounted in commercial airliners to measure atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and other gases. The work of those scientists undergirds projections of how much the world will warm in coming decades as a result of human-caused greenhouse gas pollution.

Among the conference’s highlights is the unveiling of the latest entry in NOAA’s Annual Greenhouse Gas Index, which is a way to show how much extra heat humans’ greenhouse gas pollution traps, committing the planet to a hotter world.

This year’s index rose to 1.49 — 49% higher than in 1990.

Put another way, the index shows that there is 49% more heat currently trapped by human-emitted

greenhouse gases than there was in 1990, said Ariel Stein, the acting director of the Global Monitoring Laboratory. Last year, the index sat at 1.47 — 47% higher than in 1990.

The increase in the index is in line with increases over the past four years.

Carbon dioxide emissions are the biggest contributor to the increase in the index — 80% of the increase since 1990 is due to carbon dioxide.

Three gases — carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide — account for 90% of the increased heat trapped in the atmosphere due to human activity since the mid-1700s, Stein said.

“The scientific conclusion that humans are responsible for their increase is irrefutable,” Stein said.

Methane emissions, which can come from oil and gas production and from livestock agriculture but also from thawing permafrost in the Arctic, are also rising quickly. Stein said the 17 parts per billion increase in observed atmospheric methane levels last year was the largest annual increase on record.

To Barrett, the NOAA climate adviser, these numbers paint a stark picture: The world is on course to miss its goals for limiting temperature increase.

But, she said, it’s also important to focus on the reasons for optimism.

Electric cars are gaining in popularity. Cities, through greener building practices and electrified transportation, are beginning to seize their opportunities to reduce emissions.

Governments are taking serious steps to battle climate change.

“The next decade is a critical time to address the climate crisis,” Barrett said. “We have a small window to shift to a carbon-neutral economy and hold climate impacts in check.”

A European climate change delegation visits Colorado What did they say, and what did they hear?

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado and European Union climate and energy leaders are eager to exchange visitors on policy scouting trips to their equally desirable destinations. Never a shortage of volunteers.

If they were expecting breezy tours of sightseeing highlights and factfree nights on the town, May 26 was a bracing wakeup call: This Colorado summit with the EU is jammed with dense explications of kilowatt hour clean energy prices, and hydroelectricto-hydrogen storage projects.

And both sides lapped it up.

The European Union’s previous focus on climate change policy has been sharpened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and western desires to get completely off Russian fossil fuel imports. Colorado is busy carrying out 57 pieces of landmark energy and climate change legislation passed over three years, and looking for new ideas on how to accelerate cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.

“Climate is no longer a niche policy, it’s all of the economy,” said Mercedes Garcia Perez, leader of the three-day Delegation of the EU (similar to an embassy) learning mission to Colorado.

After an exchange of ideas in downtown Denver on Tuesday, the delegation will also visit the National

Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, internationally recognized atmospheric research labs and the University of Colorado in Boulder, and energy analysts at the Rocky Mountain Institute.

Here’s a roundup of what EU and Colorado are eager to tell each other: What the EU Delegation is telling Colorado: • They are fascinated by the buyin from Colorado’s major electrical utilities to retire coal power plants and replace them with solar and wind power. They were impressed by Colorado’s apparent progress toward the goal of cutting 80% of electrical plant emissions by 2030, and wanted to know whether nuclear power or carbon capture and storage underground would be part of those plans.

• Hydrogen energy will be a key part of the EU’s clean energy transi-

tion. Garcia Perez pointed to a new clean steel plant in northern Sweden that will use hydroelectric power to produce hydrogen, which in turn will be the fuel for the steel furnaces.

European car companies are already contracting for the steel, which will be used in part to build electric vehicles.

• To cut dependence on Russian oil and gas even faster, EU nations will be demanding more sacrifices by consumers and industry. That will include lower speed limits on roadways to save fuel, and restrictions or incentives to get a larger share of power used overnight when electricity is cheaper and more available.

What Colorado officials are telling the EU: • Colorado’s transition has benefited greatly from close cooperation with the six major electric utilities in the state that have been largely on board with

demands for a rapid switch to cleaner energy. Colorado projects are now hearing bids for 2 cents a kilowatt hour for wind, and less than 3 cents for solar with storage, Colorado Energy Office Executive Director Will Toor told the EU delegation, while operating existing fossil fuel plants costs utilities 4 to 4.5 cents a kilowatt hour.

• Colorado’s urgency for change has been focused by seeing the initial impacts of climate change: decadeslong megadrought in Western Colorado, more frequent and severe flooding from heavy rains or snowmelt and breathing problems from an increasing number of wildfires across Colorado and neighboring states.

• Transportation is the next big sector to target, Toor told the delegation. With so much success in electric utilities’ plans to make the transition, transportation has passed electric power as the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions for Colorado. Colorado’s initially ambitious goal of getting 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2030 now appears on track, Toor said, and the state must carry through plans to decarbonize the medium to heavy vehicles, such as school buses and delivery trucks.

Graduates’ tough choices

O

ver the last week, Colorado Community Media’s reporters and staff worked to cover a variety of graduations. We saw graduates talk with pride about their accomplishments and look to the future with optimism and hope.

My nephew was one of those graduates, earning some high credits from a small high school in FlorFROM THE ence. In high school, he flourished in band, EDITOR made straight As and got about $7,000 in scholarships.

However, in the months leading up to his final walk across the stage in that clichéd last piece of childhood and entering adulthood, he was not always so optimistic about the future.

The fact is, as he started looking toward adulthood, he started realizing what that really means in to today’s world.

Really, students today are entering the Thelma Grimes “real world” with a lot of strikes already against them. We have inflation rates soaring — sorry, that means food, rent and life is too costly for that fast-food job to support. Gasoline prices are soaring – that means commuting to and from college classes and work is that much harder.

Now, let’s talk about college. It is frightening to see the cost of getting that secondary education. Colleges and universities are charging unprecedented amounts, making college choices really hard to figure out.

For my nephew, he was offered an opportunity at a Montana school, with some financial assistance. However, he started realizing that maintaining the GPA required for the scholarship, working and living out-of-state might be too tough.

Instead, he started asking if he is a failure for getting general ed classes out of the way by going to a community college. I was saddened to think that he really thought looking at a community college meant failure.

I had a straight talk with him, telling him my initial degree came from a community college in Arizona. I used grants and scholarships to pay for it, and to this day, I think the education I got in those years is still way better than the expensive one at a university where I had to get student loans to pay for a bachelor’s degree.

I still do not understand how community colleges and trade schools got such a bad rap. I had a math teacher who truly taught me something I hated doing. I had journalism teachers who got me ready to start a career. I loved working at the community college newspaper.

I wanted my nephew to understand that he was not a failure for taking the option he thought best for him. With his scholarship money, in the first years of education, he will get the requirements out of the way and will not be in a major amount of debt doing so.

And, frankly, our universities are not always the best option for a small-town student venturing out of their comfort zones for the first time. Starting small and then going to a university might mean he overcomes the pressures and succeeds.

I hope all of this year’s graduates do what’s best for them and not their parents, and not what society says they should.

Three basic principles of propagating with cuttings

A

beloved plant is showing signs that they have reached the end of their life span. You check your local nursery and can’t find an adequate replacement, nor any seed pods for your plant. What do you do?

This is where vegetative cuttings come in handy. Vegetative cuttings are a type of clonal propagation where a piece of the original plant is removed and rooted to create a new plant identical to the original. There are three main factors to consider when propagating with vegetative cuttings that are critical to your success: health, heat and hydration.

When considering health, choose a branch that is free from disease and that has healthy new growth. If you are taking cuttings from perennials, it is best to take them when the new growth has just matured, and the leaves have fully expanded. A general rule of thumb for herbaceous plants is to take the cutting from the end of a branch and to cut where the stem bends. Cutting where the growth is still soft will speed along the rooting. If you are propagating a woody plant, take the cuttings in the spring when the new growth has emerged, but not hardened off. Look at the color of the growth — if the first several inches are lighter or greener than the rest of the branch, you have fresh growth. Cut where the color changes from green or light brown to the color of the rest of the branch.

For heat, the soil needs to stay between 65 and 75 degrees and the air temperature needs

to remain in a similar range.

To achieve this in your home, find a bright window space in a room that stays warm and not a cold, drafty window as this will slow down rooting. If your cuttings are in a pot, you can place a clear plastic bag over the pot to trap heat around the cutting. If the cuttings are in a plastic tray, you can purchase clear plastic domes that fit over the tray to create a greenhouse effect.

When handling hydration, keep the plant hydrated until it can grow roots. Cuttings can take in water from the air through pores in the leaves, called stomata. To trap humidity, plant your cuttings in wet soil, use a spray bottle to mist the leaves and cover them with clear plastic as described above. Then, place your cuttings in a warm spot. The heat will evaporate water in the soil and trap it within the plastic covering, creating a warm, humid microclimate perfect for rooting cuttings. If you notice your cuttings wilting, use the spray bottle to mist the leaves. After a few days, they should not need to be misted anymore.

By following the three principals of health, heat and hydration, and experimenting with different plants, you will be on your way to successfully propagating your own cuttings at home.

State needs hundreds of thousands of EV chargers Here’s where facilities for electric vehicles are going in Colorado

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Sitting in an electric vehicle with only 25 miles of range left in the battery, far from home in the cellphone waiting lot at Denver International Airport, a half hour of time to kill and a Dunkin’ donut shop beckoning with sustenance … what better place for a fast charger station, right?

Not yet, as frustrated EV drivers have discovered and struggled to fathom.

But there could be soon, responds the Colorado Energy Office, the agency charged with overseeing buildout of the hundreds of thousands of public and private charging stations needed to fuel the state’s goal of nearly 1 million EVs on the road within eight years.

There are slower chargers in the DIA parking garages. Fast charging stations built by private companies around DIA’s edges, like the neongreen glowing Electrify America juicer at East 57th Avenue and Tower Road. And yes, airport and state energy office officials say, the popular cellphone lot, gas station and food court next to DIA is a logical spot for a gleaming bank of rapid-charge stations that probably should have happened already.

Electrify America, with a simple consumer interface and plugs that can put 50 miles of range into a car within a few minutes, is “the recipient of an award from CEO to build stations at the cellphone lot, I’m guessing within the calendar year,” said Christian Williss, who directs transportation fuels and technology for the energy office.

Analysts say that kind of government-assisted growth is helping Colorado keep pace with EV sales that rank among the top states in the nation. Publicly financed chargers in high-traffic locations have been a success, they say, with the state’s interstate-focused network regularly adding completed stations.

Now the challenge is to make the charging system equitable by getting more everyday home chargers installed at relatively stubborn locations like thousands of small apartment complexes, work sites where cars are parked all day, and in rural towns with long distances between chargers.

EV chargers Walsenburg Colorado Springs EV Club Curtis Claar “We need to prioritize charging in multifamily housing, as well as workplace charging, given the importance of charging at these locations,” Williss said.

Drive Clean Colorado, a nonprofit promoting equitable clean energy transition, agrees that while most visible en route charging needs that address range anxiety are getting built, the true need is expansion of locations where everyday commuters will actually charge up: Over-

EV drivers suffering range anxiety in and around Denver International Airport now have a glowing Electrify America fast charge option nearby at 57th Avenue and Tower Road, though charge station builders have not yet completed all the consumer-friendly PHOTO BY MICHAEL BOOTH/THE COLORADO SUN touches like obvious signage or uniform payment interfaces.

night at home, and at the workplace.

“Keep in mind that most people drive less than 40 miles a day, and most cars are parked for hours at a time,” said Drive Clean Colorado Executive Director Bonnie Trowbridge. “So I’d love to see us focus more on EV charging wherever we see parked cars, whether that is in your own garage or driveway, the grocery store parking lot, or longterm parking at the airport.”

Colorado is doing well to keep up so far, and is even a bit ahead in the charging game, according to analyst Jesse Toprak with the EV subscription company Autonomy. (Autonomy’s subscription operates like a lease, but allows people to try EVs without a long-term commitment.)

EVs can be plugged in on 120-volt home circuit, or Level 1, charging at about 3 to 5 miles of range an hour.

Level 2 chargers can be bought for the home and are the most common in public spaces, and can charge anywhere from 12 to 80 miles an hour. Level 3 or DC chargers are being added at important highway stops and as neighborhood filling stations, at up to 20 miles of range per minute.

With about 54,000 EVs currently on the road in Colorado, there are 4,150 fast charging ports at Level 2 or 3, Toprak said.

That’s about 90 combined Level 2 and DC fast charging ports for every 1,000 vehicles, better than the U.S. Department of Energy recommendation of about 43 ports for every 1,000 EVs, Toprak said.

“However, we expect an exponential increase in the number of EVs in Colorado, particularly in Denver, in the coming months and years,” Toprak said. “Therefore, there is clearly a need for the charging infrastructure to keep up with this jump in demand.”

Colorado has made $20 million in charging station grants in eight years of the state-run Charge Ahead Colorado program, Williss said.

About 1,700 stations have been completed around the state, with applications for state help open to private companies, nonprofits, community

groups or towns, and building owners.

For a Level 2 charging station, Colorado gathers federal, state and Volkswagen lawsuit settlement funds and can cover up to 80% of the cost, up to $9,000, Williss said.

For the extra-fast DC chargers, the 80% grants can be $35,000 or $50,000, depending on speed.

The grants continue to be popular, with three or four applications for every grant slot. That’s why the ad-

dition of millions in federal stimulus funding for every state’s electrification efforts will be welcome, he said.

“We’re pleased with additional funding that is coming down the pike,” Williss said. “I think that will help to address some of that demand, although I suspect it will continue to be oversubscribed.”

Gardening with Chuck is returning to the City Park Farmers Market this year for the market’s second year.

COURTESY OF CITY PARK FARMERS MARKET

Farmers market season has arrived in metro area

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

P

eople love the little treasures they can find at farmers markets.

Shopping at farmers markets allows “the customer to stumble across these products that they can’t get anywhere else,” said Chris Burke of Colorado Fresh Markets. “You can always find something new.”

25 years at Cherry Creek Burke and his wife, Michele, run the Colorado Fresh Markets, which offer markets in a number of metro-area communities.

Founded in 1997, the Cherry Creek location, at First Avenue and University Boulevard, was the couple’s first Colorado Fresh Market to open. This summer it is celebrating 25 years of serving the community.

“We love supporting everything local,” Burke said.

“It’s in our DNA.” Specializing in localonly fare, the Cherry Creek Fresh Market offers shoppers a wide array of fresh produce at the Cherry Creek Fresh Market. The Burkes work with about 30 farms across the state.

A crop calendar is available on the Colorado Fresh Markets’ website so people can check what is in season before they shop. People can also sign up to receive the Colorado Fresh Markets newsletter, which will provide market updates on product availability and highlight different favorites found at the market.

Other items to be discovered include a mix of artisanal crafts, home and garden, boutique and vin-

tage finds. Amenities of the market include free parking during both the Saturday and Wednesday markets, food trucks, a café area and live music. Each Saturday market will feature two or three local musicians with genres ranging from singersongwriter to rock ‘n’ roll and hip hop to country to provide some examples.

When the market is in town, that big parking lot transforms into a fun, vibrant atmosphere, Burke said. Between the farmers, vendors and shoppers, Burke said, everyone “enjoys that sense of community.”

‘The smile stays on’ Kurt Jones of Denver’s Rosedale neighborhood has been part of Denver’s music scene since roughly 1985, when he moved to the area.

He will be performing at a few farmers markets this year, including the Cherry Creek Fresh Market and the South Pearl Street Farmers Market, but his main farmers market gig this year is the University Hills Farmers Market, which is located at the University Hills Plaza Shopping Center, 2500 S. Colorado Blvd. There, he will be performing nearly every weekend during the farmers market’s season.

While Jones has a project of original music with west Denver resident Jerry Lee McGuire called Racefans, his gigs at the farmers markets will be Jones performing as a one-man band.

He describes the sound as “sunshine music” that will provide a “happy, outgoing vibe.”

“I enjoy the happy, melody-driven stuff,” Jones said.

“I love seeing the little kids dancing, and the parents taking their pictures. I’m looking forward to putting some smiles on faces.”

He may even show up in some fun performance attire at the University Hills Farmers Market, he said. A gold blazer, a gold hat and spray-painted gold shoes are in the works for this year.

The blazer might have to come off if it gets too hot during a performance, Jones said. “But the smile will stay on.”

A to Z shopping There are a number of reasons why people love shopping at farmers markets, said Robin SingerStarbuck, the market manager for the University Hills Farmers Market.

“Farmers markets are destinations — somewhere to go and something to do.

And it’s social,” SingerStarbuck said. “Plus, people appreciate supporting small businesses and finding something unique.”

Singer-Starbuck grew up in the University Hills area so one of the joys she gets from running the market is giving back to a community she is deeply rooted in, she said.

At the University Hills Farmers Market, shoppers will have access to an “A to Z shopping experience,” Singer-Starbuck said. There will be a variety of food products ranging from fruits and vegetables to honey and granola. There will also be a chocolatier and ranchers selling their products.

Non-food items include health and wellness products such as CBD products, apothecary and skincare; artesian crafts such as embroidery, woodworking, jewelry and pottery; and

counting on privately led efforts to further develop the charging network.

Electric truck and SUV maker Rivian, now delivering dozens of back-ordered vehicles to Colorado customers, is creating a Rivian Adventure Network of fast chargers. The first Colorado adventure station will open in Salida in June, with DC fast chargers proprietary to Rivian vehicles that can add up to 140 miles of range in 20 minutes, and open network Level 2 chargers for non-Rivian EVs. Rivian is already opening up public charging stations with its brand name at every state park.

Those stations charge all EVs, not just Rivian, and first opened at Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado Springs. Rivian is absorbing all the cost of installing the state parks network.

Entrepreneurs at Eagle County Airport are using state charging station grants to fulfill goals of greening up the airfield, which services both private jets and public airline tourism flights.

The Hertz rental business there now has more than 40 EVs in the fleet, Teslas and Polestars.

Cooley Mesa Detailing, which cleans and turns around returned rentals, worked with the state to install Level 2 chargers for the EV fleet that can juice up at about 40 miles of range in an hour.

Eventually, Eagle County airport officials want to charge EVs from a solar array that will cover a parking lot.

State officials say they are trying to steer new rounds of charging station money toward the disproportionately impacted communities mentioned in both the federal infrastructure stimulus spending, and in the state transportation funding bill passed in 2021. Though the state energy office awaits final guidance on the federal money, at least “40% of the benefits” are

meant for impacted communities, Williss said.

“We fully recognize that it’s vital that we make investments in locations where we provide access to all drivers, whether they’re in metro Denver, whether they’re in the rural parts of cities, whether they’re in disproportionately impacted communities,” Williss said. “We’re looking at how we can modify our programs to ensure that those that may not know about them currently, or may not necessarily have the same level of match, can still participate.”

Autonomy’s Toprak said that while Colorado’s pace of building chargers appears adequate, everyone involved in the grid across the nation needs to do more to standardize plug-in instructions, payment methods and the software that communicates with credit card companies and the vehicles themselves. Quirky or unreliable stations and payment methods are “a significant headache” for consumers, he said.

That may require faster communication between government agencies as well.

Denver airport officials, who have put Level 2 chargers in public parking garages, agreed with state officials that a grant for a fast charger at the cellphone lot was critical. But, airport officials said Tuesday, that plan is now on hold while the airport entertains proposals for redeveloping its entire western approach.

Work on fast chargers for the commercial vehicle holding lot, where taxis and Uber drivers wait, are still moving forward, airport spokeswoman Stephanie Figueroa said. “But the cellphone waiting area project is pending conversations.”

(Adoption/Guardian/Other) Public Notice IN THE HAMILTON SUPERIOR COURT ROOM NO. 1 CAUSE NO. 29D01-2205-AD-675 STATE OF INDIANA ) SS: COUNTY OF HAMILTON IN THE MATTER OF THE ADOPTION OF BRENDAN TEITSORT, a minor child 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.

Starbuck said. “Whether it be a food artisan or a craft artisan, they love to take that story home with them and share it with friends and family.”

The main thing is flavor Being a fourth-generation farmer is a lot to live up to.

“Back in my great-grandfather’s time, everyone was a farmer,” said Debora Palizzi of Brighton’s Palizzi Farm, which got its start in 1929.

“Those who are native to Colorado are familiar with the farms.”

Known for its sweet corn — but also offering a variety of products such as baby carrots, spinach, okra and much more — Palizzi Farm will be at a number of metro-area farmers markets this year.

The family also runs a seasonal farm stand, which opened in April and will operate until mid-October.

The farm stand offers a range of products in addition to what the family sells at the farmers markets — pies, cider, farm fresh eggs, pickled vegetables and much more.

Though offering farm tours is not part of the family’s business model, they are always happy to provide a tour of the farm or let people go out and pick their own vegetables or fruit, Palizzi said.

The items that are sold at the farmers markets are always going to be fresh, Palizzi said. Everything is picked the day before — or the day of, in the case of herbs — it is

brought to the market.

People love having access to produce that was grown here in Colorado, Palizzi said.

“The main thing for people is flavor,” she added. “It’s incredible how fresh flavors taste.” `We don’t miss a week’ Potager Restaurant & Wine Bar’s staff shops at local farmers markets every weekend to purchase to items for the restaurant’s farm-totable concept.

“We don’t miss a week,” said Chef Paul Warthen, the chef/owner of Potager, which is located at 1109 Ogden St. in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. “The food we buy that day, we serve in the restaurant that night.”

Farmers markets provide so much to the community, Warthen said, adding that shopping at farmers markets is an enriching experience.

“It’s a nice way to spend a morning,” he said.

Warthen is one of many professional chefs who will be giving a chef demo at the City Park Farmers Market this year. His day is Oct. 8.

The chef demos “will further their (shoppers’) knowledge and capabilities,” Warthen said.

Not only will they inspire people to cook with items they can find at the farmers market, providing people with these additional kitchen skills is one way to help everyone create less food waste, Warthen said. Although exactly what Warthen’s demonstration will be is still in planning, an example

he provided of using kitchen skills to reduce food waste would be educating people on four different ways to use broccoli leaves, rather than discarding them, Warthen said.

Planting seeds The City Park Farmers Market, located at City Park Esplanade at East Colfax Avenue and Columbine Street, has so much in store for its visitors this year.

In addition to the monthly chef demos, the market will feature live music, a weekly run club with Go Forever Racing and a donationbased yoga class with Big Power Yoga. Additional amenities include food trucks and food tents with ready-to-eat items and the grassy esplanade with a central fountain where people are welcome to hang out or picnic.

The City Park Farmers Market is a food-focused, local-only farmers market. Product to be found at the market includes meats, eggs, bread, vegetables, fruit, sauces, jams and much more.

“Colorado has a seasonality to it.

It’s difficult to be a farmer here,” said Peter Wanberg, who along with his wife, Margo, launched the City Park Farmers Market last year.

“But these farmers (and vendors) are top-notch.”

It is important to the Wanbergs that smaller farms have “an opportunity to grow in a scalable way and connect directly with members of the community,” states a news release.

“We want to make market entry accessible, regardless of a produc-

er’s acreage, team size or output,” Margo Wanberg said in the news release. “Colorado’s climate and economy means there are a lot of inherent risks and challenges for farmers. Participating in a farmers market shouldn’t be one of those.”

This also pertains to shoppers — the City Park Farmers Market accepts Colorado’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and this year is accepting the program’s Double Up Food Bucks; as well as partnering with the local chapter of Colorado WIC, which is a supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children.

Farmers markets are a great place to build community, but people also particularly enjoy shopping at them because farmers markets provide access to a lot of local products all in one place, Peter Wanberg said.

“There is a ton of desire to interact with local farmers and producers,” he said.

The City Park Farmers Market will provide the same community feel as it did last year, but it will feature an expanded vendor lineup.

Last year, it offered about 60 Colorado-based food producers, farmers and agriculture-based brands.

Many of them will be returning this year to make up the approximate 90 vendors this year will offer.

The Wanbergs are excited for their second farmers market season.

“We’re looking forward to seeing the seeds we planted last year grow and flourish,” Peter Wanberg said.
