The same few months of 2020 that Colorado crown jewel Rocky Mountain National Park was suffering its worst losses from COVID closures, the whole place also nearly burned down. Now, things are looking up in the original Switzerland of the West. The park’s in-house firefighting crew, which said they’d been prepping for a sparkfest like East Troublesome for 20 years, used a landscaping “catcher’s mitt” to stop the record fire from blazing on into Estes Park in October 2020. Those crews will be following up on that success with new federal grants to bolster firewall efforts on Deer Mountain, which stands sentinel between prime wildfire paths and Estes Park, evacuated as a precaution before East Troublesome smoldered out. And with COVID’s grip loosened from much of the American psyche, the park returned to 4.4 million visitors last year — not a record, but enough to reinforce a timed-entry system that by some

Barbara MacFarlane wishes Denver would ban plastic bags altogether.
“You gotta roll with the times,” she said. “The times (now) are reusable.” MacFarlane is the co-owner and self-proclaimed Queen Bee of Marczyk Fine Foods, a locally-owned neighborhood market that has two locations in Denver — one at 770 E. 17th Ave. in Uptown; and the other at 5100 E.

retailers keep 4 cents and the city receives 6 cents. According to the Next with Kyle Clark article, a spokesperson for Safeway “said that the grocery chain uses the money for training employees, providing customer education with posters and flyers about the bag fee, (offering) free bags to customers, non-profits and schools and producing internal training videos for staff.” As of July 15, the city’s share of collected fees amounted to $1,631,773, said Winna MacLaren, spokesperson for Denver’s office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency. The fee is not a tax, and cannot be used for general government expenses. Therefore, the city reports that these funds have been spent on public awareness campaigns, providing free reusable bags to consumers and program administration staff, MacLaren said.

Council in December 2019 and was implemented in July 2021, requires retailers to charge 10 cents for a disposable bag. Consumers are able to avoid the fee by bringing their own bag. While all paper, plastic and compostable single-use disposable bags at most retail stores in Denver are subject to the fee, the smaller bags — such as those used for filling bulk items like nuts or produce, and those provided by pharmacists that contain prescription drugs — are not. “Nobody really batted an eye,” MacFarlane said of the fee, adding that she believes her customers’ response has been neutral. This could be because it isn’t just Marczyk enforcing the fee, MacFarlane said. As a city-and-countywide program, Marczyk is one of 1,090 Denver retailers enrolled in the BYOB. Working as intended BYOB is intended to encourage consumers to bring their own, reusable bags to help meet an overarching goal of reducing waste and preventing litter. It is one of a few efforts — such as Pay As You Throw and Waste No More — that Denver is using as tools to meet waste diversion rate goals. Now a year into the program, the BYOB seems to be working as it is

city estimating that residents used four times as many disposable bags before the program was implemented. At Marczyk, MacFarlane said she has seen an increase of customers making use of reusable bags. She guesstimated that use of a reusable bag is up from about only 10-20% of Marczyks’ customers using a reusable bag prior to BYOB’s implementation to about 65% of Marczyks’ customers bringing their own bag currently. Making adjustments to better serve consumers Retail stores subject to the fee include, but are not limited to, convenience stores, department stores, retail chain stores, hardware stores, liquor stores and grocery stores. Restaurants, salons, auto mechanics and other businesses that retail sales are not the primary business activity are not required to charge the bag fee. Nor are temporary vendors and those at events such as farmers markets. While shoppers arm themselves with reusable bags or make ready to pay for bags, grocery stores have had to make adjustments as well. Marczyk, for example, prepared for consumer needs by ordering different sized paper bags, MacFarlane said. Marczyk also used the program as a way to offer a new product: an upcycled bag, designed to meet the customer’s needs, MacFarlane said. It includes special pockets, such as one that can be used for a baguette and another for olive oil, for example, MacFarlane said. Keeping it local, Marczyk worked with a local vendor, Mile High Workshop, to create the reusable bags out of retired Denver-based organizations’ banners.

A question of fairness The bag fee is only charged when the store provides the shopper with new single-use plastic or paper bag. Individuals participating in state and federal food assistance programs are exempt from the fee. Additionally, the BYOB includes a provision to provide free reusable bags for all residents, and there is no limit to the number of bags each person may have, MacLaren said. So far, the city has given away about 40,000 bags, MacLaren added. The best way for people to obtain a free, reusable bag through the city is to attend an event or contact their district office to make a reservation and pick one up. Though the city is making efforts to ensure every resident can participate in BYOB, some residents question the equity of the program. For example, Nate Girard of south Denver said the city needs to make a better, ongoing effort to share information about where and how to get reusable bags. He added he was one of probably many who did not know that information was online, and wonders if the program exacerbates systemic barriers. “Who is really paying for this program? It isn’t the wealthy people who were likely already using reusable bags,” Girard said. “It’s the individuals who can’t afford reusable bags to begin with. It is just another example of environmental inequities.” A change in behavior Others, like Nicole Meredith of Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, loves the program. “I want to use less plastic in general for environmental reasons,” Meredith said. Meredith moved to Denver in January, and came from a city that had a similar program. Denver, however, charges 5 cents more per bag, and the slight increase has been enough to incentivize Meredith to always remember to bring her own bags, she said. “It makes me more mindful,” Meredith said.

been a number of years since it has been available on consignment. This is because his first experience consigning was negative, Stokes said. About five or six years ago, Stokes had a deal with a furniture retailer to sell his work. But the art was only available to the public for a short while before the Colorado Department of Revenue seized the property — including Stokes’ artwork inside — because the businessowner did not pay taxes, Stokes said. Eventually, the businessowner “did the right thing” and purchased Stokes’ work through auction and returned it, Stokes said. But “I gave up on showing my art after that,” Stokes said. That is, until last fall when a thenneighbor reached out to him and expressed interest in his work. Kate Barrett, projects manager for Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, thought Stokes’ work would be a good fit for the organization’s monthly rotating art display. As neighbors, the two got to talking and Stokes invited Barrett into his home to view his art. That’s when Barrett asked if Stokes would be interested in being August 2022’s featured artist at the VOC, which is located within Washington Park. “He’s a passionate and involved member of the community,” Barrett said. And “the VOC is not just a steward of the land, we’re also stewards of relationships and community.”
Stokes is a Colorado Springs native and has lived in Denver since 1997. A current resident of the Virginia Village neighborhood, he and Barrett got acquainted when he was living in the Washington Park neighborhood. The VOC is an outdoor stewardship nonprofit that was founded in 1984. Each year, the VOC engages with thousands of people who volunteer their time to the outdoors, so it’s common for people to see VOC volunteers out on the trails and in the parks, caring for Colorado’s natural resources, Barrett said. But the art exhibits offer a different kind facet for the VOC to operate in the community, Barrett added. They “cultivate a passion for natural art,” said Abby Hanson, the VOC’s administrative assistant. VOC’s monthly art exhibit program offers local artists a space to display and consign their work with no overhead. It is free for artists to participate, and for every sale, the artist keeps 75% with the other 25% going to the VOC. “It’s a mutually beneficial program,” Hanson said. “The art (is displayed) in an accessible space — we’re on public land, so the public is already here.” Those who come for the art are introduced to the VOC and its mission, and those who are already familiar with the VOC have the opportunity to be exposed to nature-inspired art by a different Colorado-based artist each month, Hanson said. And the exhibits provide VOC with an opportunity to learn about people’s vision of the state, Barrett added.
IF YOU GO
Local artist Warren Stokes holds one of his maze art pieces on the outdoor patio of the Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado building in Washington Park. Stokes’ artwork will be on exhibit through August PHOTO BY CHRISTY STEADMAN at the VOC.
Stokes’ “mazes are an interesting commentary on nature,” Hanson said, “because they illustrate how everything is connected.” He is inspired by animals, nature, parks and shapes, as well as “being Black in America,” Stokes said. As an example for the latter, Stokes mentioned being called the N-word. “Instead of choosing a fight with the person,” he said, “I’ll go home and draw.”
Warren Stokes’ maze art will be on display at the Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado building, 600 S. Marion St. Pkwy. in Washington Park, through August. It is free and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. Drop-ins are welcome. Stokes’ exhibit is part of the VOC’s monthly art exhibit program, which highlights local artists. Any Coloradobased artist is welcome to participate. It is preferred that the art have some connection to nature, but all mediums are welcome. To inquire about the VOC’s monthly art exhibit program, contact Abby Hanson, the VOC’s administrative assistant, at 303-715-1010 ext 111 or abby@voc.org. To learn more about the VOC, including volunteer opportunities, visit voc.org. To connect with Warren Stokes or learn more about his art, visit his Facebook page: facebook.com/StokesGriot or Instagram: Warren_Stokes_art. Stokes calls it “mazing it out,” because mazes always have a solution. “I can’t solve hunger. I can’t solve homelessness. And I can’t solve racial inequities,” Stokes said. “But I can draw a maze, and it will have a solution.” Stokes is looking forward to the consigning opportunity with VOC. Something he hopes to gain from the experience is the courage to keep going as an exhibition artist. Something he likes to keep in mind is a quote, for which the attribution is unknown: “Don’t fear your future when your purpose is present.”

Saving an endangered toad Zoo, state partner to boost boreal toad numbers BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On June 28, teams with the Denver Zoo and Colorado Parks & Wildlife released 570 boreal tadpoles into wetlands in a remote site in the Gunnison National Forest. The goal of the effort is to restore the state’s populations of boreal toads. The boreal toad is a state-listed endangered species. It has experienced dramatic population decline in the past two decades, which “appears to be related to habitat loss and primarily infection by the chytrid fungus, which can infect the majority of the world’s 7,000 amphibian species,” states a news release. Last November, conservation and amphibian experts with the Denver Zoo traveled to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Native Aquatic Species Restoration Facility (NASRF) in Alamosa to pick up 95 adult boreal toads to serve as an additional breeding population for the species. These toads were prepped for breeding at the Denver Zoo, and staff nurtured the offspring to get them ready for release into the wild. “This was the result of a tremendous amount of hard work and planning by our partners at Colora-

Emergency agency scrutinized Investigation documents behavior by director BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN
State officials are seeking a consultant to evaluate the culture, structure and effectiveness of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, state documents show, days after a Denver Post investigation documented a troubling history of aggressive and inappropriate behavior from one of its directors, Mike Willis. The Colorado Department of Public Safety is looking for a consulting service to gauge employee satisfaction within the state’s division that responds to all types of disasters in Colorado, according to documents posted Monday on the state’s database of vendors. The contractor will conduct “an environmental scan using whatever tool the vendor deems appropriate” to review leadership and employee development opportunities, as well as analyze current organizational structure, including office placement and supervisory lines, according to state documents outlining the project. The state set a June 28 deadline for applications and is asking vendors to complete a report, including recommendations for the division to

improve its culture and structure, no later than Dec. 31. It’s unclear how much money the state plans to spend on the review. The request for vendors comes after a scathing Denver Post report about Mike Willis during his five years at the helm of Colorado’s responses to natural and public health disasters. Willis has been suspended twice in the past 18 months for behavior that included intimidating workers, throwing objects in rage and berating female employees, the Post reported.
Willis, who was appointed to run the state’s Office of Emergency Management in 2017, was warned that he would likely be fired “for any similar misconduct” in the future, the newspaper reported. Willis did not immediately return a request for comment. In an email to the Post, Willis called some accounts from his colleagues as “inaccurate,” that he can be “intimidating on occasion” and that he is “passionate about our mission and ensuring those that work, live and play in Colorado are served to the
best of our ability.” The controversy surrounding Willis has become a political issue for Gov. Jared Polis as he campaigns for reelection in November. A spokesman for Polis declined to comment on the situation when reached on June 27 by The Colorado Sun. Polis’ Republican opponent, Heidi Ganahl, issued a statement calling for the governor to hold Willis accountable. Colorado GOP Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown blasted Polis for not speaking out. “Coloradans deserve a governor who will fire individuals like this who create unacceptable, hostile work environments,” Burton Brown said in a written statement. “Polis’ lack of leadership in standing up for state employees against this kind of harassment is pathetic.” Willis has been the director of Colorado’s Office of Emergency Management since November 2017, meaning he was hired when former Gov. John Hickenlooper was still in office. Polis became governor in January 2019. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

evaluations is going well. Now park folks are ready to brag about some wins, not just some avoided losses. • The Green Mountain Trailhead area on the west side, just north of fire central at Grand Lake, is back open. The beforeand-after photos above show some intriguing recovery, though the deeply blackened trunks and trees bent over by firestorm winds will linger for decades. • Over the next year, the park will use $19 million in federal economic recovery money to close, rebuild and reopen Moraine Park Campground, the largest in the park and for many Americans, their childhood memory of family camping. • Nearly $40,000 in federal infrastructure law funds will go to more fire mitigation on Deer Mountain, for brush clearing, tree limbing of the same kind that helped slow East Troublesome. If fire coming from the west gets over Deer Mountain, it would roar down Fall River, the Stanley Hotel, and into town. • Planners are making progress on replacing the housing for 22 employees that was lost when East Troublesome swept through Kawuneeche entrance station on the west side on its way up and over the high country toward Moraine Park. Affordable west-side
August 4, 2022 housing is vital to attract park employees, RMNP spokeswoman Kyle Patterson notes, and to keep commutes shorter after long days on the trails. The housing should break ground next spring, and “that’s a pretty quick turnaround in the federal government,” Patterson noted. Closing Moraine Park’s 244 camp sites, hosting 30,000 people a year, will put a crimp in tourism, but the park and town are working together to highlight other spots. A rehab is “way, way past due,” Patterson said. One great feature of the rebuilt site will be 17 accessibility compliant campsites, including easier paths to bathrooms and other facilities. The park is still seeing some of the same stresses hitting the surrounding territory. Park fire chief Mike Lewelling has been unable to completely round out his resident hotshot crew, as other jobs compete for their attention. Some of his crew is away now to protect Zion National Park in southwestern Utah. “Our main message is we feel very, very fortunate that we have been able to receive the funds to be able to tackle these really important projects, with a park that’s as old as we are,” Patterson said, referring to the 1915 opening year. “We just have to continue to chip away at some of our deferred maintenance.” Some of the boosts for the park were announced at the same time the National Park Service
was reminding taxpayers of the economic impact of the lauded protected lands system in the U.S. In its annual impact report, the federal government said Rocky Mountain National Park had 4.43 million visitors in 2021, nearing pre-pandemic record levels. Those visitors spent $323.3 million for lodging, food and other services in the Estes Park area, supporting 4,421 jobs, the Park Service said. Though not quite so high, impacts are significant from other national parks in Colorado. Mesa Verde National Park in the Four Corners area attracted 548,000 visitors, spending $62.6 million and supporting 825 jobs, the report said. Great Sand Dunes reported about 603,000 visitors spending $41.3 million in the area, supporting 536 jobs. By contrast, Rocky Mountain National Park’s northern competitor, Yellowstone, attracted 4.9 million people spending $630.3 million, and supported 8,736 jobs. RMNP staff continue to tweak the timed-entry and hiker shuttle systems now embedded in park management. They may never go back to the previous jammed chaos, though the park has fielded equity complaints and held talks with a group demanding the entry system go through a more rigorous National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) evaluation process. Dan Denning is part of a group that has circulated petitions they say have collected thousands of
signatures questioning timedentry reservations. They argue park officials have not presented statistics or studies documenting park overuse or crowding to justify such a big change for the public. Meanwhile, they say a reservation system discriminates against locals, who use the park as a backyard for spontaneous picnics or family visits. Such a system also favors those with enough money to plan well ahead for air travel or RV vacations, or sign up for guided trips or other park uses arranged by others, they have told park officials. Park officials have responded that annual visitation rose 42% from 2012, and that they have made presentations to the community about the impacts they see. They also have increased available reservation slots in subsequent years of testing the entry program, and keep the reservation windows to the busiest times of day and months of the year. They say a formal NEPA process will take place in 2023, and there will be continued opportunities for public comment.

Going behind the scenes: Private tours at RMNP
C
olorado is blessed with one of the largest and most diversified national parks in the nation. The Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), established in 1915, spans 265,000 acres of beautiful natural vegetation and is home to every wildlife species found in the western states, ranging in elevation from low extended prairie meadows and grasslands of 7,600 feet to rugged, massive year around snow covered peaks reaching 14,259 feet. The treeless tundra includes 89,000 acres of openness with 94% of the park terrain designated as Wilderness. This high country RMNP environment produces two of the nation’s largest headwater river systems. The Colorado River originates in the RMNP high country and the Cache La Poudre River basin flows east. Each year, between 100,000 150,000 campers find peace and calmness in the colorful and cool air that encompasses the RMNP campground and trail systems. Most of the campgrounds, trail systems and open-access lands are explored by the individual self-guided visitor. However, there is an alternative many fail to investigate. For the more adventuresome outdoors enthusiasts, the RMNP “Private Tours service” offers an expanded look deeper inside the park; its terrain, wildlife, vegetation and especially the peacefulness and photographical opportunities. The private tours are conducted on the west side of RMNP highlighting the countless natural attractions and historical features. The yarns and stories go on in the truest lifestyle by guide Dave Lively. Small groups
and families can hear animated stories and storytelling history by Dave who knows the Park, the off-beaten landmarks and the characters and how it became the attraction it is. Small groups Ron Hellbusch of four will travel in fourwheel drive vehicles through the Kawuneeche Valley, the Fairview Curve overlook, Harbison meadows, mining camp towns such as the Gaskill, the Buckaroo Barn and a variety of historical mining and timber lodges.

Where Colorado jobs would be if pandemic hadn’t happened Even with setback, state is at one of its highest levels ever BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN
Thanks to a gain of 4,500 nonfarm payroll jobs in June, Colorado has now recovered 110.1% of jobs lost in the first two months of the COVID-19 pandemic. That helped push down Colorado’s unemployment rate to 3.4% in June, the lowest since February 2020’s very low 2.8%. The U.S. unemployment rate didn’t change for the fourth straight month, at 3.6% in June. But if the pandemic hadn’t happened, Colorado would have added another 100,000 more jobs by now, according to data compiled by the state Department of Labor and Employment. Before the pandemic, the state’s job growth trajectory was at 4,900 per month. However, getting to 2,857,400, as the state did in June, still puts the state at one of its highest levels of jobs ever. Colorado had a fast recovery, said Ryan Gedney, senior economist with the labor department. But that job growth is starting to slow. “I think we’ve gotten out of that recovery mode. The state has regained what jobs that were lost (after) February 2020,” Gedney said. But he added that had the pandemic not happened, there might have been a recession anyway, or at least a slowdown in new job creation. It was already challenging to hire enough workers before the pandemic. “Remember, at the end of 2019, the nation, the state, we were still at a historically long economic expansion,” he said. “Was 4,900 a realistic measure? Possibly not. Could there have been a recession that happened? You’d go crazy if you tried to play out all these dif-
Unemployment rates continue to improve in Colorado. However, a question being posed is what could have happened without the SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE pandemic?
ferent what ifs.” But he did revise that 4,900 pre-pandemic projection, dropping it to a “what if” of 2,500 new jobs per month instead. That puts Colorado closer to reaching the projected job growth had the pandemic not happened. See the red and black lines in the chart below. Only two regions in the state haven’t recovered all the lost jobs. The Fort Collins metro area has recovered 97% of jobs lost, while the Greeley region is still down 4,800 jobs having recovered just 59% of jobs lost. The decline in mining and logging is to blame. The industry, which includes oil and gas companies, not only hasn’t recovered,

it continues to shed jobs. It lost 2,400 jobs in the first two months of the pandemic, but is still down 3,400 jobs since April 2020. But as Colorado continued to add more jobs elsewhere and people joined or returned to work, the state is now near its highest labor force participation rate since March 2020. Approximately 69.5% of working-age adults were employed or looking for jobs in June. The preliminary count is 3,248,800 Coloradans in the labor force — the highest number to date. Industries that saw the most change in June: • Leisure and hospitality gained 2,300 jobs • Government (largely in educa-
tion), gained 2,100 jobs • Professional & business services, down 1,800 jobs • Financial services, down 1,900 jobs Wages up again. Average hourly earnings reached $34.21 in Colorado in June, or up $2.61 from last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The national average hourly wage was $32.08.

VOICES
A sad reality
ne of the things I love about being an editor is going to meetings, forums, focus groups and awards banquets. I get to meet a lot of different people and listen to a lot of opinions, discussions and topics. Recently, in a roundtable discussion, a group of us talked about housing affordability. In that discussion, we talked about how our workforce is being FROM THE pushed out of the housing market completely. Of course, in asking why — some EDITOR of the answers that sadly are reality — worries me. When I say workforce, I am talking about our teachers, our police officers, our firefighters, our government employees and those who make our everyday lives possible. However, somehow, society has decided they are also the people we do not want as our neighbors. We have Thelma Grimes communities saying: Come here and work and teach our children, protect us, take care of our needs — but do not live here. The problem with this mentality is the valued workforce is going to move on. We are going to get fewer of them in our communities as they move to states and towns where people want them. That is our loss. My son’s kindergarten teacher, a 20-year educator and an awesome person, said she grew up in a house behind the school she currently teaches. However, on her salary, she couldn’t afford to live there now. Is that really the kind of world we want? The idea that renters bring down our communities is also just nonsense. To afford to live in most of the housing communities in Douglas County and most of Arapahoe County — the rent costs are more than my mortgage. We have great neighbors who rent. We had horrible neighbors, who fortunately moved away, who owned their home. Perception is everything these days and I am having a hard time understanding the belief some have about affordable housing creating a community nuisance. Having loud groups fight every time a developer or elected body tries to bring more affordable options into a community has to change. That change has to come from those casting the votes. At some point, our elected officials have to take a stand and say a strong, steady workforce is what is needed to keep an economy on track. They have to start voting and finding solutions that help working families survive. This trickles down to those young adults just entering the workforce as well. In listening to a 20-year-old out of college, he said he is living with his dad and there is no way he could afford to live in Douglas County where he grew up. There are no options for him. That means our young, educated workforce will seek employment elsewhere and another state’s gain is going to be our loss. It is a loss we might now feel now but we will in the future. For those fighting the affordable housing concept — go back to your younger days when you were trying to find your footing in this world. Would you have been as successful in a market like we have today? How would you have gotten your first apartment? Paid for your first home? We need to create growth and opportunity for all levels of society and not just a select few who think they deserve the best houses, best views and best of everything without giving up something in return.

The tidal wave of complacency
T
here is plenty of discussion happening around what is being called “The Great Resignation.” The impact of people not willing to work has a vastreaching impact and implications on every aspect of life. We are all experiencing fractured supWINNING ply chains, an understaffed WORDS service industry, and gaps in inventory resulting in shortages around the world, just to name a few. This disruption and rising inflation are causing severe emotional and financial stress, leading to anxiety for businesses and many of us at home. When will it end? Michael Norton That is a question no one can answer, with some experts believing that it will be around longer than we think and whether that is a little longer or a lot longer. What many businesses are experiencing that is worse than “The Great Resignation,” is a tidal wave of complacency. When the pandemic began, both employer and employee were trying to figure out the whole remote work situation. In the beginning, there were struggles with working from home, and leaders were anxious because they felt work might not be getting done in the same capacity. But within just a few

short months, employees became extremely comfortable and grateful to be able to work from home, especially those who had difficult commutes. The work-life balance began to get better for most of us. We became aware of the fact that we could decide to work when we wanted to work and take a few hours off and then return to our work in the evening. This strategy worked well for some, but it also created an opportunity for complacency for others. We would convince ourselves we would do the work later, and then later became tomorrow, and tomorrow became next week. We lost any sense of urgency that we may have had before. Hunger and desire have been replaced by distractions and atrophy of our business muscles and attitude. Where we once strived for excellence, we have settled into striving for mediocrity. We know that talent without effort breeds mediocrity. We have fantastic people on our teams, and we know they can do more, do better, and once again be capable of striving for excellence. There is so much great content around how we can break out of our comfort zone, or as I heard this week, how we can break free from our confinement zone. Comfort zones are breeding grounds for mediocrity, and confinement zones hold us hostage, as

Taking action to combat climate change
N
ot a day goes by that the effects of a warming planet are not in the news. Fires, floods, drought and famine all across the globe. Here at home, DenGUEST ver is experiencing COLUMN more triple digit days, our water sources are drying faster than normal and the return of the brown cloud hurts our air quality and harms our most vulnerable residents. Councilmember Fortunately, Jolon Clark Denver voters took a bold step with the passage of initiative 2A — which created the Climate Protection Fund, a $40 million a year fund generated from sales tax, to mitigate impacts of climate change, build resiliency and adapt to changes. Denver is only the second city in the United States to have a taxpayer-supported fund dedicated to climate action. I was proud to sponsor the legislation to put the initiative on the ballot and work with stakeholders to develop climate policy that is focused on equity. Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency (CASR) recently released its 5-year plan designed to eliminate green-

they hamper our enthusiasm and our creativity. Just because we may work from home or have a hybrid work schedule does not mean we should settle for doing the minimally acceptable level of work. We owe our company, customers, coworkers and ourselves more than that. We owe ourselves and all of them our absolute best effort. We become frustrated because we cannot find what we need at the store because of no inventory. We have the right to be upset because it takes our meals longer to come out because the restaurant is short on help. Our impatience grows because we cannot get the car we want for several months. And we believe we have the right to be frustrated, upset and impatient, being angry about what we cannot get or have. Yet we never stop to think
house gas emissions by 2040. In just the past year, the Climate Protection Fund has funded more than $7 million in projects, from providing electric bikes to essential workers, to funding six different organizations that provide training for jobs in the green economy. Some highlights of the fund include: • $18 million in community solar, with 30% of the power generated helping pay bills for Denver Public Schools families with lower incomes. • Nearly 1,000 paid positions in workforce development programs designed to give under-resourced residents a clear pathway to the quality, in-demand jobs of the future. • Planting more than 2,000 trees to increase tree canopy in climatevulnerable neighborhoods. • A free, on-demand micro-shuttle to help Montbello residents move around their neighborhood and connect to transit. • Co-creating climate and environmental justice solutions with historically underrepresented communities. • Retrofitting the Forum Apartments to an all-electric building, improving the health, safety and comfort of residents experiencing homelessness.

about how our lack of effort and complacency impacts our company, customers, co-workers, and even our ability to grow, advance, and earn a higher income. Complacency is the enemy of achievement. “The Great Resignation” is very real. So, we must ask ourselves a hard question. Are we willing to accept or tolerate complacency just to keep the company going? Or do we need to find a way back to leading and motivating those who are on our team to break out of the complacency zone and into the striving for excellence zone? I would love to hear your thoughts at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we can get back to what made our economy thrive in the past, that awesome work ethic, it really will be a better than good year.

ments directly benefit our most climate-vulnerable residents, surpassing its mandate to direct at least 50% of the funds towards those communities. Some of these programs include: • Rebates for e-bikes and e-cargo bikes to replace car trips, covering up to 100% of the cost. This program is extremely popular — the last release of rebates ran out in less than 24 hours — so be sure to check denvergov.org/climate for more information on when rebates will be available again. • Rebates for energy efficient heating and cooling, covering up to 100% of the cost. • Free e-bike libraries for essential workers in the Westwood and Globeville, Elyria, and Swansea neighborhoods. • Reduced costs for solar panel installations. • Paid workforce training programs. • Free reusable bags (contact our office at district7@denvergov.org if you are interested in receiving free bags). • Funding to assist neighborhoods and small businesses to go green. Initiatives sponsored and passed by city council: • Implementation of Energize Denver. This will provide more than $1 billion in benefits to the city by drastically cutting buildings’ reliance on fossil fuels with
energy efficiency improvements and strategic electrification of all existing large buildings. Buildings and homes are responsible for 64% of the greenhouse gas emissions in Denver, so this legislation is a major step towards achieving net zero emissions. • Bring Your Own Bag, led by city council and implemented by CASR to reduce the use of plastic bags. • #SkiptheStuff, led by city council and implemented by CASR to reduce the use of single-use items when ordering takeout or delivery. • Expanded waste collection services, which will change billing for solid waste customers in 2023 by implementing a fee on the amount of trash discarded, and provide free and weekly compost and recycling. This direct economic incentive will decrease the amount of waste we send to the landfill, a major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. To learn more, visit www.denvergov. org/expandedcollection. During my seven years on council, I have been a passionate advocate for implementing bold changes for the environment. We have to do everything that we can as a city to combat climate change, and we have to take that action now. Jolon Clark represents District 7 on Denver City Council.

South Adams County water district buying Denver’s water to dilute “forever chemicals” BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN
The South Adams County Water and Sanitation District, anchored by Commerce City, will be paying Denver Water $2.75 million this year for enough supply to dilute local well water tainted by PFAS “forever chemicals” from firefighting foam runoff, officials said on June 26. The district serves 65,000 people, and said it needs a new $130 million treatment plant to filter out PFAS and past contamination from the industrial solvent 1,4-dioxane, in order to avoid buying relatively expensive Denver water indefinitely. The district is applying for federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants to build the new plant, but is now competing with dozens of communities newly in need after the
Environmental Protection Agency radically lowered safe PFAS guidelines in June, officials said. PFAS is an abbreviation for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. More than 100 communities across Colorado are scrambling to retest drinking water under state guidance, and come up with dilution or treatment plans if PFAS levels prove too high. The EPA’s drinking water guidance for PFAS, a family of common water repellents used in thousands of consumer goods from rain gear to nonstick pans, was formerly no more than 70 parts per trillion of lifetime exposure. In June, the EPA’s guidance for two forms of PFAS, called PFOA and PFOS, was cut to 0.004 parts per trillion and 0.02 parts per trillion, respectively. South Adams was fine under the old guideline; under the new

guidelines, its 2021 results of 4.6 ppt for PFOA and 13 ppt for PFOS are up to 1,000 times the new guidance. Frisco was one of the first Colorado communities to see the changed guidance put them in potential hazardous territory, and the town shut down some wells and reopened a treatment plant. Thornton has also announced that past test results are now well over the lowered guidance and has changed well sources and sought new treatment methods to remove PFAS.

chemicals. We continue to follow threats from the chemicals to drinking water, croplands and wildlife, and the extensive costs required to clean them up. More Colorado communities are likely to follow. State water quality officials have said a 2019 statewide testing program including most local water agencies gave more than 100 agencies PFAS results that are above the new guidance, and need to be retested. State and local news releases list the many potential hazards of PFAS contamination, including lowered immunity, lower birth weights and more. But they have also emphasized that drinking current water supplies is not dangerous or cause for a water crisis. Water agencies SEE CHEMICALS, P23 ON AVERAGE, AARP MEMBERS ENJOY

BIG BOY’S VISIT TO DENVER
C R O S SWO R D P U Z Z L E
The Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 made an appearance at Denver’s Union Station on July 29 for the Union Pacific’s 160th anniversary. The stop in Denver was part of a special roundtrip passenger train from Denver to Cheyenne pulled by Big Boy No. 4014. The trip served as the annual gala fundraiser for the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, a nonprofit located in Iowa. The steam locomotive is one of 25 Big Boy locomotives that were built for the Union Pacific to haul heavy freight during World War II. Only eight of the Big Boys are persevered, and of them, No. 4014 is the only functioning Big Boy. To learn more about the Union Pacific Railroad Museum, visit uprrmuseum.org.

Adams County water supplies and PFAS contamination at the nearby Suncor Energy refinery, Moreno said. South Adams is scraping corners of its budget to find the $2.75 million it expects to pay to Denver Water through the rest of this year. The agency had a previous backup contract with Denver Water for 2,000 acre-feet, and will now use that water and buy more. The district is trying to avoid raising customer rates for costs related to PFAS contamination, Moreno said. Moreno said he thinks South Adams County has a good chance at some of the $130 million it needs for a plant treating PFAS and a chemical taint dating back to 2012, from industrial solvents that reached groundwater. “We believe that we are going to get Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding,” Moreno said. “What we don’t know is how much.” When the EPA issued the new lowered guidance in mid-June, Moreno added, “we were dealing probably with a handful or so of other utilities in the state. Now we’re dealing with a lot of others that are possibly going to be competing for the same dollars.”

The testing threshold for South Adams, alongside many other agencies, starts at 2 ppt, and with Denver Water dilution, the agency is once again below those thresholds, said Abel Moreno, South Adams district manager. “The EPA has moved the goal posts, and we are taking steps to reduce the presence of PFAS even further,” Moreno said. Part of the confusion over the EPA and PFAS is the federal agency’s distinction between “guidelines” and “standards.” The EPA issues guidelines, considered strong suggestions and signals to state health departments, when research is still being done and the science is not settled. State health departments and environmental groups are hopeful the EPA will turn its PFAS drinking water guidelines into enforceable standards through regulations issued this fall. South Adams has shut off wells near a metro firefighting training facility. The district believes other wells it owns may have been contaminated by firefightingrelated runoff from the former Stapleton airport. There has not been any connection established between PFAS in South
