Tucked behind a car dealership on South Broadway, ﬁrst-time restaurateur Gene Hill is ushering a Littleton cafe through an “identity crisis.”Originally billed as Brad B Jammin’ PB&J Cafe, the sandwich shop and retail space is expanding its menu, extending its hours and changing its name. “We are doing a lot, but growth has got to happen here,” said Hill, who hopes the eatery will, in time, become an important part of the community.Besidesclassic peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, the cafe now offers an Elvis-inspired peanut butter and bacon sandwich, a Hot Pocketstyle Nutella “squishwich” and two different chicken, nut-butter and jam sandwiches. “I became committed to elevating the PB&J,” Hill said. “And so I started creating a menu that incorporates jam. I’m committed to using jam in everything we do.”

Following the Biden administration’s Aug. 24 announcement of a sweeping plan to reform the student loan process for millions of federal borrowers, local educators said they see both benefits and challenges lyingTheahead.proposal, one of Joe Biden’s chief promises during his 2020 presidential election campaign, could eliminate student debt entirely for nearly half of all borrowers, according to an analysis by the education department, which estimates 43 million Americans have federal student loans.Itseeks to do this by forgiving $10,000 of federal debt for all borrowers making no more than $75,000 per year — and no more than $250,000 for married couples — and up to $20,000 for borrowers who receive Pell Grants. It will also cap monthly payments at 5% of a borrower’s income and eliminate accrued interest for borrowers making monthly payments, even when that payment is $0. Taken together, these reforms could make it easier and faster for the bulk of students to pay off their debt, educators said. “This is going to make that burden less severe,” said Ariel Mendez, director of financial aid at Arapahoe Community College. “This is a step, it’s not everything, but it’s definitely a step.”Since Biden unveiled the plan, Mendez has been fielding calls from

As an Englewood resident, Jennifer Bartlett drives on Hampden Avenue, also known as U.S. 285, almost every day — a highway she says really needs to be ﬁxed. “Not only is it (driving) through, but crossing, and I ﬁnd that it’s a real barrier. There is more to Englewood on the other side of Hampden, and you just, you don’t even bother crossing it on foot,” Bartlett said. After discovering there is an ongoing study of a 6.3-mile stretch of Hampden Avenue, she decided to attend the Aug. 30 open house at Englewood High School, which offered the chance to learn about, and offer feedback on, the nearly $1.4 million study.

Dear Beth Blended Family, Congratulations on your new marriage! Additions like that can be exciting and lead to a long and happy life together. However, there are certainly things we need to take into consideration when it comes to blended family. Blended families can cause worry and difﬁculty when it comes to passing on your Estate. This includes unintended inheritance, unintended disinheritance, confusion, and even ﬁghting amongst families. All of these things are easily avoidable with proper planning!

When bringing children to a new marriage, spouses should always talk about what their expectations are, and how they want their Estates to pass. Leaving behind old Estate Plans (both a Will and Trust) without any revisions, can result in things such as an ex-spouse inheriting, or a new spouse (and their children) being disinherited. Of course, this is only a short list of what can happen. You will want to make sure that your Estate Plans are updated to accommodate everyone in your happy new family. The list below includes just a few things you may want to change or amend: 1. Pay on Death Beneﬁciaries for Cash/Investment Accounts; 2. Re-titling of Property (personal residence or other); 3. Updating Fiduciaries (Powers of Attorney, Personal Representatives); 4. Including new family members in your Estate Plan; 5. Excluding old family members from your Estate Plan; and 6. Provide for new spouse, protect your children.

Dear Davis Schilken, I just married the man of my dreams. However, I am worried how it will impact our Estate Plans. We have both been married once before, and we both have 2 beautiful children from our prior marriage, bringing our new family to 6 (My husband, his two kids, my two kids, and myself). How can we improve and prepare our Estate Plans to care for everyone?

The following measures qualiﬁed: • Initiative 96, which would open the door for liquor retailers to be able to open an unlimited number of stores in Colorado starting in 2037.•Initiative 121, which would let retailers who have a license to sell beer, such as grocery stores, also sell wine.•Initiative 122, which would let third-party services deliver alcohol.

Colorado voters will have a chance in November to weigh in on the state’s long-running alcohol-policy war.The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office announced Friday that three ballot measures that would change booze policy in the state — including one that would let grocery stores sell wine — have qualified for the November ballot after their supporters collected a sufficient number of voter signatures.

A fourth alcohol-policy measure, Initiative 135, which would have required local approval for liquor license changes in an effort to slow down grocery stores’ ability to begin selling wine in addition to beer, failed to make the ballot after its supporters didn’t turn in the signatures they had collected.

Millions of dollars are already being spent in support of initiatives 96, 121 and 122, including nearly $2 million from U.S. Rep. David Trone and his brother, Robert, who own the national Total Wine & More chain. The Trones are supporting Initiative 96, which would let Total Wine open more stores in Colorado. Right now, liquor retailers are allowed to open only three stores in Colorado. Total Wine has two Colorado stores and will soon open a third. Small retail liquor stores are fiercely opposed to the measure. Already on the ballot was Initiative 58, a measure to decriminalize and regulate the use of “magic” mushrooms, and Initiative 31, a measure asking voters to reduce the state income tax rate to 4.4% from 4.55%.Additionally, Initiative 108 qualified for the ballot last week. It would divert 0.1% of taxable income from the general fund to the state affordable housing fund, which would represent about $270 million in its first year. While taxes wouldn’t be raised under the proposal, the amount of money available for Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights refunds would be reduced by whatever is set aside for the housingThefund.legislature referred two statutory measures to the ballot this year, including one that would reduce state income tax deductions for people with higher incomes and use the savings to provide free K-12 school meals for all students. The other would require detailed information about how ballot measures changing the income tax rate would impact various income brackets to be more prominently displayed to voters.

LITTLETON • PARK MEADOWS SHOP IN STORE

“The cafe had always kind of been in the back of my mind in terms of an opportunity for PB&J sandwiches,” Brown But operating a sandwich shop — building up that side of the business — while producing jam for over a dozen farmers markets a week plus additional wholesale orders proved difﬁcult until Brown Hill and Brown met while working the farmers market circuit where they are both vendors. Hill has been making seasoning blends for his own company, Hungry Gene, since 2020. Last year, Brown suggested the pair team up. Hill could use Brown’s kitchen to mix his spices and the storefront to sell his blends. Hill could also run the retail side of Brad B Jammin’ and, if he was willing, take on the cafe. In January, Hill moved into Brown’s facility. By April, he had warmed up to running the cafe.

SEE CAFE, P5 The shop and cafe in Littleton is the only brick-and-mortar store that carries every ﬂavor of Brad B Jammin’ jam, says business owner Gene Hill.

The focus on jam is not surprising. The cafe resides at the front of the production facility of Brad B Jammin’, a local producer of low-sugar, high-ﬂavor jams. Owned by Brad Brown, the 5-year-old company makes jam for farmers markets and specialty stores around Colorado and When Brown moved his business into the 2,000-square-foot space in April 2021, he was most interested in the full kitchen and walk-in fridge in the back. But the retail space up front was a nice bonus. He used it to display his product and to cre-

Having two businesses share one space can be tricky. Both proprietors note that it can get crowded at times. But sharing expenses, sharing responsibilities and sharing knowledge make it rewarding, they said. It also makes collaboration easier. While the cafe uses Brad B Jammin’ products in many of its dishes, some of the jams use Hungry Gene spices as well. There’s an onion jam, for example, that uses rosemary, parsley and bay leaves from Hungry Gene, Hill said. “Now the joy becomes in how we can work together synergistically,” Hill said. “How we can play off of each other to expand each other’s businesses.”

IF YOU GO Brad B Jammin’ and The Hungry Gene Cafe are at 6518 South Broadway in the shopping center behind McDonald Hyundai in Littleton. The cafe is currently open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. New hours will be posted @hungrygene on Facebook and at hungrygene.com. “I’ve got energy,” Hill said. “I’ve got great Currentlyideas.”alunch spot, Hill’s next project is extending the cafe’s hours and offering jam-and-ice-cream sundaes in the evening. With the business serving more than PB&Js, Hill’s decided a new name — The Hungry Gene Cafe — is ﬁtting. He has a banner with the moniker on order. It will hang next to the store’s front door while Brown’s sign for Brad B Jammin’ will continue to stay above it. “I’m going to have, for a time, a little identity issue because of that,” Hill said. “But we’ll get past that. We are already doing it.”

Going beyond the $20,000 maximum for debt cancellation would have been a “bridge too far for most taxpayers,” Garcia said, adding Biden’s plan is a “reasonable compromise.”Forborrowers owing well above $20,000, the impacts of Biden’s plan could provide piecemeal progress.RachelNewlon, a full-time English teacher at ACC, holds $150,000 in student debt. Newlon said she had little-to-no ﬁ nancial aid when she pursued her undergraduate and graduate degrees. Debt, she said, was the price for an education.“It just seemed like the easiest way to go,” she said. “I made the choice to go to school because I wanted to go into an employment that was more rewarding … but we shouldn’t be penalized for that.” Newlon believes she will qualify fo $10,000 off her loans. But what excites her more is the reduction in monthly payments and cancellation of “Havinginterest.alittle bit of help is nice because I don’t make enough money to throw large sums at bringing it down,” she said, adding she makes about $75,000 yearly. And the cost of loans is more than just monthly payments, Newlon said. It has affected her otherwise healthy credit score, hampering her prospects of owning a home. While she said Biden’s plan provides welcomed relief, it falls short of addressing the greater need to bring down the cost of college, she “There’ssaid.clearly acknowledgment that there’s an issue,” NewlonAccordingsaid. to a report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, between 1980 and 2019, the average price for college increased 169%. Yet wages have lagged far behind.

Garcia said what little federal aid there is for college, such as Pell Grants, has also failed to meet today’s tuition costs. According to the Biden administration, those grants used to cover nearly 80% of tuition and now only covers a third.Biden had tried to boost Pell Grants through sweeping social policy legislation last year but those efforts died in Congress after failing to gain enough support in the Senate. “A hard-working student simply cannot go to school and pay their own way even at a state school,” Garcia said. “I think that’s what critics of my age tend to forget when we pat ourselves on the back saying ‘we paid our own way.’” LOANS

The relief could be huge for students teetering on the edge of fi nishing a degree. Facing a rising cost of living from housing to food, making monthly loan payments can spur some students to drop out of their education, Mendez said. “This is students being able to fi nish degrees,” Mendez said, adding the cap on monthly payments and elimination of interest rates “is a pretty big deal” for fi nancially-stressed students.

But borrowers, whether they’re in school or not, still have several hoops to jump through before they see loan relief. The education department is preparing to launch an online application in early October that could get borrowers relief within four to six weeks of applying.Thatapplication must be ﬁ led before Nov. 15 and will only apply to loans borrowed before June 30. Mendez said part of her job is now making ACC students aware of the timeline and process to ensure they receive relief.

ACC students eager to know if and how the relief may affect them. Mendez said last year about 1,600 of the college’s roughly 12,000 enrolled students took out loans and she believes most, if not all, could be eligible for forgiveness.

Biden’s plan has been met with ire from those who feel it will alienate taxpayers — the vast majority of whom do not hold federal student debt— as well as borrowers who feel it does not go far enough, with some calling for up to $50,000 in debt cancellation. And concerns over its impact on infl ation and whether it’s fair for borrowers who already paid off their debt have risen to the forefront of the loan forgiveness debate.JoeGarcia, president of the Community College System — which encompasses 13 colleges with 35 locations across the state — said he opposed broad debt cancellation, especially for higher income earners, but became supportive of Biden’s plan. “I think it’s well-tailored, but not perfect,” Garcia said. According to the Biden administration, nearly 90% of the debt cancellation will go to low and middle-income borrowers making less than $75,000 a year. Most of those borrowers owe between $8,000 to $10,000, Garcia said, a demographic that will more often default on payments and who Garcia said need relief most. He believes the plan will have a minimal impact on infl ation. Loan payments have been paused since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the pause has been extended to Dec. 31 under Biden’s plan.Garcia said the moratorium demonstrates that not repaying loans has had little correlation to infl ation. And since the loans were already paid out by the government, it has been debated if taxpayers will really foot the bill for the cancellation, or if Congress will simply lose those repayments as a source of revenue. “I think it will have a signifi cant impact on the ability of individuals to improve their credit ratings, return to school and I hope that those things will ultimately benefi t the economy,” Garcia said.

“We don’t see ourselves as separate communities, we see ourselves as one community as staff,” said Gudy Gaskill Principal Leslie Dominick.The new site is one of several school consolidations by LPS, which has faced years of declining enrollment rates. The school is built on the site of the former Franklin Elementary building and while the other two school buildings — Highland and Mark Twain — still stand, neither serves its original student body.Highland is slated to house the district’s early childhood education center and Mark Twain currently serves students previously enrolled at Ralph Moody Elementary, which the school board voted to close in MarchThose2021.students, along with the community of East Elementary, will eventually attend Little Raven Elementary in fall 2023. District leaders broke ground on that site May 9. With more than 500 students currently enrolled at Gudy Gaskill, Dominick said they’ve begun to “establish a strong community” with staff. “I think that the students have done an amazing job,” she said, adding student “still see their relationships from other schools” but also have embraced “new relationships” at Gudy NamedGaskill.afterthe American mountaineer dubbed the “Mother of the Colorado Trail,” Dominick said she hopes the new elementary will embody that same spirit. “It’s about being a trailblazer,” she said.

Colorado schools, child care centers must test water for lead

BOB WOOLEY

A new state law will require about 5,800 Colorado elementary schools and child care centers to test their drinking water for lead and install filters or do repairs if they find elevatedSchoolslevels.andchild care facilities will have until May 31 to test their water and will have to make fixes if lead levels are 5 parts per billion or higher. That threshold is the same as the limit set by the federal government for bottled water but lower than what most Colorado school districts previously used. The law, which comes with $21 million for testing and repairs, represents the first time Colorado has established regulations governing lead levels in school and child care drinking water. It comes as a growing number of states have passed laws to address childhood lead exposure following the 2014 water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Lead is a harmful neurotoxin that can cause learning disabilities and behavior problems, with even low levels of exposure impacting a child’s IQ. Lead levels in American children have decreased dramatically since the 1970s, but studies show many children still have detectable levels. A 2021 study published in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA Pediatrics found that 72% of Colorado children under 6 who were tested had detectable levels of lead in their blood — though many young children in the state are never tested at all. This story was originally published by Chalkbeat Colorado. More at chalkbeat.org.

After approval from the Je co Board of Education, minimum salaries for new educators in the district will be $50,000.

I think there has to be a balance. For the most part, I could absolutely do most of my job from the comforts of my own home. However, the pandemic has shown me what is lost in doing that. For one, the interaction with other reporters, editors, and our company’s senior management happens a lot less. I am a true believer that my work family is just as important of my home family. We work together, cry together, take on the public together. They all matter. I want to hear about their families, victories and losses in life. The compromise comes with hybrid working. Encourage employees to pick a few days a week to be in.

If there is a piece of trash on the ground, do we walk by it or do we pick it up and throw it away? Or are we hoping someone else will come by and clean it up? If an elderly person who needs help with a shopping cart and maybe getting across the street, do we stop what we are doing to assist them, or walk away and hope that some other nice person might come by to help? If we see someone who needs an ear to listen or the need to be consoled, do we avoid them or sit and listen or offer a hug? We can “Be that person.”

VOICES

This leads to how, by generation, the workforce has changed. My dad, the baby boomer generation, worked hard. His skin is stained from decades in plumbing, running his own business and working hard. I respect a lot about my dad when it comes to his work ethic. I have his work ethic. But, I also look at how much he gave to companies before he had his own business. I look at all he gave after his business failed during the recession and he moved to a company.

ne of my closest friends is Brian, and he stands out to me for many reasons. He is a strong man of faith, a true prayer warrior, a loving and devoted father and husband, a gift to the community we live in, and really to anyone who has the privilege of meeting Brian. Many people speak of their philosophy of hoping to leave every person they meet better off than when they had met them, and if you spend time with Brian, even if it is for five minutes, you will know what I am talking about.Weshare insights about life and business, and we definitely enjoy getting together over a beer or three to let our creativity take over and speak about what else we can do to serve others. Brian and I had a chance to play golf last week and he started our conversation in the cart by telling me, “You are that person.” And he said it with such conviction, I was curious to know what heHemeant.saidit again, but this time he wasn’t just referring to me, he was referring to all of us. Whether at work, at home, in the community, or anywhere else, if something needs to be done, we all have the opportunity to step up and “Be that person.” He was not speaking about specific skills we would need to take care of a complex task, but more of the dayto-day things that so many take for granted or simply walk away assuming someone else would take care of it, and maybe even think it’s not our responsibility.

The other fascinating part of the workforce changes is the term, “The Great Resignation.” During the pandemic, people left their jobs for something better or for nothing. Some of this had to do with low pay, but a lot of stories and reports on the “Great Resignation” comes down to people wanting to experience a true work-life balance.

Thelma Grimes is the south metro editor of Colorado Community Media.

At work, if a co-worker needs a hand, even though it’s not in our job description, do we offer to help in some way to help lighten the load? Or do we avoid making eye contact and leave the area and let them struggle or again, hope someone else might be more willing to help? If we have taken the last cup of coffee, do we reﬁll the pot? If the printer is out of paper, do we load more paper or wait for someone else to do it when they come to pick up the print job and realize there was no paper? We can “Be that person.”

In February, pewresearch.org came out with a study on how COVID reshaped work in America. According to the research, nearly six in 10 workers who say they can work from home are staying home. Many say they are doing this by choice rather than necessity.

Could he have given less and enjoyed a better worklife balance? A term describing today’s younger workforce is “quiet quitting.” While I am not fond of the term, I am intrigued by the meaning. The main meaning for “quiet quitting” is an employee setting boundaries and not taking additional work. That means doing exactly what the job description says.

Deadline Wed. for the following week’s paper.

e recently celebrated, or rested, on Labor Day. When the topic of labor comes up, it’s been an interesting few years as employees and employers work to find some sort of of Labor website, it says, “work is changing, but America has always been a country filled with hard workers.” I agree — America does work hard. However, what that looks like has steadily changed since the pandemic sent everyone home and likely had many rethinking their lives. For employers and employees — the debate and negotiations over several issues are moving into view. One of those being the concept of working from home permanently. Now that COVID is seemingly here to stay and Americans are being told to get back to normal, some employers want staff to return to in-office work.

Having gone through well over 10 teachers over the past few years and this being my third child, I knew enough With this child in particular, I have spent most parent/teacher conferences discussing his behavior issues. I could barely get him to do reading and writing assignments. During these tough years, the teachers he had were patient and kind but diligent in trying to address the problem … stil, the problems persisted.Thenwe got the “strict” teacher. Despite not being worried, I was curious to discover what was causing so much gossip among parents about her. I sent my boy to school and paid attention each day when he got home.

That seemed like an excellent year to me. The validating moment at the start of the new school year was seeing him run up and give her a big hug before running off to his new classroom.Nowmyfriend’s son has the same teacher and she’s terriﬁed because of what she’s heard. I don’t know which parents are spreading these rumors, but I wish they would simply stop. Sure, bad teachers exist. But they’re rare. The only teachers that I’ve been less than impressed with are the ones not given the resources to do a good job.Teachers are people, people paid much less than the value they bring to our communities. Learning to get along with different types of people is part of the educational package of going to school, though parents could learn a thing or two in this area as Teacherswell.are also professionals. They earned a degree in education and are continually learning best practices from shared knowledge and researchers all over the country. They deserve our respect. My teachers have taught me more about how to be a good mom than most parenting books. During the school year, they see my kids more than I see them! So not only do they get to know my kid, but they can take that knowledge and apply it in the context of their educational degree.Mykids’ teachers have also helped me discover talents in myself that I didn’t know I had. They taught me to trust my instincts. They taught me to love my kid when I was too depleted to do so. They showed me things in my kids that I didn’t know existed. They’ve carried them through hard times when I couldn’t. My teachers are my village. I hope this Colorado community of parents have their teacher’s backs. Let’s not spread unnecessary gossip about teachers and, instead, ﬁnd what makes them great. While we’re at it, let’s jump in and help them to do the amazing job that they already know how to do.

How was your day? “Great” How’s your teacher? “Cool” Was anyone mean to you today? “No”Did you get in trouble? “No” And on and on this went, the same questions with the same answers throughout the year. Then came homework assignments. He really struggled with these. She’d send a check-off sheet home for his reading and a few math sheets every week. I’ve seen these before. We do our best and the teachers usually seemed pleased with whatever effort we gave. This time, the difference was that she circled the reading days we missed every time and wrote a note for the need to improve. I’d never seen a teacher be this diligent about homework at home.Ithought: “Could this be what is causing all of this commotion? Making sure my kid reads?” When parent/teacher conferences came around, she was delightful but also ﬁrm in pressing the need to keep up his reading at home. It was different but I appreciated the push and encouragement she gave us. At the end of the year, I mentioned to her the trouble he gave to previous teachers. With a knowing glimmer in her eye she said, “I can see how that could happen.” And then continued with something to the effect of, “It’s tough to balance boundaries with love. But once he knew what was expected of him and that I wouldn’t budge, he really shined.”

He said he sees people from a broad swath of countries and regions, including Nepal, Burma, Somalia, Iraq, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Ethiopia.Somewho come to Mango House do so for space to start their business.

Currently, it is home to five small food stalls: Urban Burma, known for its rice noodle bowls, curry and samosas; Jasmine Syrian Food, with cumin and lemon flavored hummus and chicken; Odaa Ethiopian Restaurant, providing an abundance of flavorful meats and vegetables; Nepali Mountain Kitchen, serving up warm curry and momo; and Golden Sky Sushi, which offers a fusion of Japenese and other Asian cuisines. “All my tenants are my patients,” Parmar said. “I like to think what we do is unique.” Siri Tan, who began serving Burmese cuisine from his stall — Urban SEE MANGO, P

For many, mangoes are deﬁned by bright colors, aromatic ﬂavor and embodiment of the sun-soaked tropics.Butfor some Denver-area business owners, the fruit is also a sense of identity, cultural connection and one’s openness to the new. From a refugee resource center offering an array of dine-in cuisines to a dessert bar fusing traditional Hong Kong sweets with Western styles, the mango serves as a token of the wider world for a land-locked metropolitan area. At Mango House in Aurora, such sentiment could not better describe the mission of P.J. Parmar, who began the organization in 2014 to provide resources — primarily low-cost health care — to refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants.Italsoserves as a marketplace, with a grocery store and several vendors preparing and selling freshmade food from their home countries.“Mangoes are from everywhere our patients come from, but they are not from the U.S.,” said Parmar, whose family immigrated from India, where mangoes are cherished andParmarabundant.said he chose the name Mango House because he wanted something “tasty and fun” that paid homage to his patients and patrons.

Burma — in 2019, said without Mango House “we wouldn’t exist.” Tan said he “wanted to introduce Burmese cuisine into the Denver area” and, through a patchwork of cooking education that included recipe books, online videos and tips from the Burmese community, he made that dream a reality. “I love Asian food, all kinds of Asian food,” Tan said. “When I hear that people like our food, that’s what makes me happy.” For Parmar, he hopes the food of Mango House can offer an invitation for Coloradans to explore something new and build relations with their immigrant neighbors.

Some of these come in the form of warm dishes, popular during the winter, Kao said. Others, such as bright green durian pancake rolls and purple-powdered taro cakes, present a unique and inviting option for customers — though these desserts are more subtle and savory compared with the reliable sweetness of the mango counterparts.

Emma Mo, a co-owner of Mango Mango in Denver, presents a plate of sticky rice and fresh mango at the store Aug. 23.

“A lot of people like mango and I think it’s a perfect fit (for our shop),” Kuo said. Mango Mango offers a pallet of other sweet treats, some of which are inspired by more Western foods such as a layered crepe cake with mango cream filling or fresh-baked waffles drizzled with chocolate and cold mango chunks. And it’s not just mango that’s on the menu.

Founded in Flushing, New York, Mango Mango has since been franchised to several locations across the U.S. Kuo, who immigrated from Taiwan at age 5, said he fell in love with the business after ﬁrst trying it in Flushing and sought to open one in Denver because, at the time, he saw no “truly Asian dessert places.” The dessert bar, offering roughly 30 meals and 20 drinks, imbues the sweet and citrus-like ﬂavors of mango into nearly all its cuisine. The signature dessert is modeled after a traditional Hong Kong favorite and consists of mango ice cream, fresh fruit, juice and soba — edible starch pearls that Kuo said have been eaten “way, way, way before boba.” Mangoes, Kuo said, are “in every corner of Hong Kong,” and that dessert, in particular, is a beloved treat.

Chance to try new things

Symbol for a mission For Marc Corona, who runs Mango Tree Coffee in Englewood, mangoes serve as a form of expression for the business’ larger mission.Abranch of MANNA Worldwide — a global nonprofit network that works with organizations in 50 countries — all proceeds from Mango Tree go back into MANNA’s efforts to fight global poverty, which include building schools and food centers and expanding access to water, education and job opportunities. Corona said the coffee shop’s name harkens to a MANNA trip in 2002 when community members gathered under a mango tree in Kenya to discuss anti-poverty programs for the area.“As we’ve built Mango Tree, that’s the mindset that we have, creating a space where everybody feels welcome and can be a part of something bigger than themselves,” Corona said. Opened in June 2021, Mango Tree roasts its coffee in-house and offers a reliable cafe menu complete with espresso-based drinks, chai and teas.But one standout item is the mango shot, a blend of mango chunks, kefir — a fermented dairy product — and spices. “I think one of the main aspects that drives what we do is this sort of passion and drive to have fun,” Corona said. “Having a mango shot was just another way to create that experience forPeoplepeople.”are at the heart of Mango Tree’s ethos, Corona said, and outside of providing assistance to global poverty-fighting efforts, the business also strives to be an advocate locally.

For business owner Robert Kuo, who co-owns Mango Mango Desserts in Denver, bringing customers the tastes of Asia drove him to open his“Ishop.think people like to come to try new things,” said Kuo, who opened the store in 2019 alongside his business partner, Emma Mo.

Mango Tree partners with area churches and other organizations to provide packed lunches to Englewood Schools students, a complement to the district’s free and reduced lunch program.“We want to be an asset to the community,” Corona said, adding that the coffee shop also serves as a gathering space, much as its namesake mango tree did 20 years ago. “It’s cool to see the community have the same mindset as we do of ‘hey, we like to do things together.’”

“I’d like to think we aren’t just preaching to the choir, with our restaurant-goers already loving refugees,” Parmar said. “I do think, occasionally, someone — adult or even a child — who has doubts towards foreigners is brought as part of a group, and their eyes are opened a bit when they are here. At least their mouths, or palates, are opened.”

The shop also serves ﬂavors for other desserts that include matcha, durian and taro.

Art, Creative Writing, Humanities, Photography and Spanish are the participating programs that had students in Arapahoe Community College’s well-organized Study Abroad program this past summer, which carried students to a pair of legendary old European cities: Amsterdam and Berlin, led by faculty member/gallery director Trish Sangelo.TheColorado Gallery of the Arts at ACC-Littleton is hosting a handsome exhibit of art by those students, “Across the Globe, Next Stop ... Amsterdam and Berlin,” through Sept. 22. The exhibit includes works in two and three dimensions by travelers who shared their impressions in a variety of techniques: a collection of tiny bicycles hung from a metal- framed mobile, photographs of historic buildings and canals in both cities, translate the individual response of each traveler. Reflection of sunlight on water, inviting doorways, closeups of deliciouslooking foods: a fat sandwich, cut in half, pastries, pizza, a platter of meats ... Sunsets,yum!ofcourse and all sorts of street scenes. The detail-filled photo “Canal 1” by Silvia Sofia Torres Rodriguez shows a mix of color and business. Paula Vann’s photograph, “Ancient Stairs,” leads the imagination up and around a curving rosy brick wall — what is up there? Perhaps a cozy kitchen or sitting room.Oldbuildings tell numerous stories, with traditional Greek-motif borders along walls and around entrances, as well as statues and reliefs that tell stories about historic figures — legendary and/or local.

For me, autumn sounds like acoustic guitars. It’s something about their warmth and crispness, but also their fragility. And if you’re the type of person who spends a lot of time thinking about the characteristics of guitars, you’re going to want to be in Olde Town Arvada this weekend.

7. MANAGE BLOOD SUGAR – Most of the food American eat turns into glucose, which is the sugar that the body uses as energy.

TIPS TO A HEART-HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

A chieving optimal heart health in the U.S. is not looking promising as Americans continue to lose ground. According to a recent study published by the American College of Cardiology, or ACC, only 6.8% of American adults have achieved optimal heart health. It breaks down ﬁ ve key areas that affect heart health:• sugar pressure disease

2. BE MORE ACTIVE – Adults should get 2.5 hours of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. Kids should have 60 minutes every day, including play and structured activities.

• •CholesterolCardiovascular

5. MANAGE WEIGHT – Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight has many beneﬁts. Body mass index, a numerical value of weight in relation to height, is a useful gauge, according to the AHA. An optimal BMI is 25.

Each year, the American Heart Association, or AHA, releases a checklist known as Life’s Essential 8. The list provides key measures for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health, which helps lower risk of heart diseases, stroke and other major health problems. In unveiling the 2022 list, the AHA had some new items and guidance for others, including new suggestions for diet and adding sleep. The Life’s Essential 8 list if comprised of two major areas –Health behaviors and health factors.

6. CONTROL CHOLESTEROL – High levels of non-HDL, or bad cholesterol, can lead to heart disease.

• Blood

The Essential 8 list includes:

3. QUIT TOBACCO –Use of inhaled nicotine delivery products, which includes traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes and vaping, is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., according to AHA. This includes about a third of all death from heart disease. It is estimated that a third of all children between ages 3 and 11 in the U.S. are exposed to secondhand smoke or vaping.

1. EAT BETTER – According to the AHA, Americans should aim for an overall healthy eating pattern that includes whole foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, nuts, seeds and cooking non-tropical oils such as olive and canola.

8. MANAGE BLOOD PRESSURE – Keeping blood pressure within acceptable ranges can keep a person healthier longer. Levels less than 120/80 are optimal. High blood pressure is deﬁned as 130-139 for the top number and 80-89 for the bottom number.

4. GET HEALTHY SLEEP – Sleep is a new addition to the Essential 8 list in 2022. It is estimated that adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Children require more through nighttime rest and naps.

“It is hard to just tell someone to stop doing something they have formed a habit to,” he said. “Instead of just stopping, I encourage people to just start cutting back, taking less.”

A constant on the heart health lists from multiple organizations is healthy eating and exercise.The AHA stresses that developing a healthy eating pattern can increase heart health. Besides eating smaller portions in general, the AHA recommends a heavy dose of vegetables and fruits every day, along with limiting sweetened drinks, alcohol and sodium.Avoiding trans-fat is also recommended.When it comes to his patients, Park said diet is a constant discussion for patients suffering from heart disease and having other issues.The second continuous discussion is exercise. According to the AHA, adults should get a weekly total of at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity.

“Everyone has some time somewhere,” he said. “I waste plenty of time when I think about it.”

On the other hand, putting a priority on getting enough rest, according to the AHA, can help with:

23September 8, 2022 September 8, 2022 Health & Wellness 5

When it comes to exercise, Park says it is important to take small steps towards achieving big goals. A person can take short walks and runs that will help lead up to exercise and ﬁ tness goals over a short period of time. Park said people often say they do not have time for exercise, which he stresses cannot be completely true.

When it comes to eating, Park said this is one of the biggest struggles in making lifestyle changes. When a person is used to the fast-food line every day, taking small steps to realign habits is important.

“Sleep is highly important, but I have to admit, even doctors have a lack of sleep,” Park said. “Being well rested makes a huge difference. It is associated with sleep apnea and obesity. Everything, when it comes to the heart, is really interconnected. It also just allows the body to reset.”

Nutrition Examination Survey of more than 55,000 U.S. adults over the age of 20 from 1999 to 2018. The data revealed that many Americans meet at least one of the ﬁ ve identiﬁ ed risk factors, leading to potential risk for heart attack or heart failure, stroke or other associated complications such as Type 2 diabetes.Dr. Jeffrey Park, a cardiologist with Aurora Denver Cardiology at The Medical Center of Aurora, said the study results are eye-opening.“Americain general has been experiencing a decline in optimal heart health for some time,” Park said. “It may be surprising but it is also a matter of what we know now compared to what we knew from the past. We learn more as these risk factors are included in the equation.”

• Cognitive decline and dementia • Depression • Elevated blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels • Obesity

• Having a stronger immune system•Improving mood and energy

• Cardiovascular disease

Even as more information and education is coming along to redevelop guidelines to achieve optimal heart health, Park said busy people are struggling to meet all ﬁ ve key areas. When it comes to diet, Park said Americans are busy and constantly on the go. That means more fast, easy food. “We are on the go and eating out a lot more,” he said. “That also translates to not having enough time for exercise and we are not getting enough sleep.” Sleep a newer key factor

According to a recent study released by countingsheep.net, Colorado is one of the states struggling to get enough sleep, ranking 23rd. The study was created through analyzing county health rankings and Google search data. Some of the data to rank each state is based on how many people attempt to treat insomnia with medications.Accordingto the study, overall, in the past year, 30% of Coloradans have not got sufﬁ cient sleep each night, which is over 1.7 million adults. Based on Google search data, it was found that these insufﬁ cient sleepers have searched for sleep medication online 203,760 times over the past year. This indicated 11% of Coloradans who suffer from insomnia treat the condition with sleep medication, ranking the state’s residents as the 23rd unhealthiest sleepers in America.

• Better brain function Diet and exercise

Vermont was ranked as the nation’s unhealthiest sleep state. Pennsylvania was ranked on the opposite end of the list as the nation’s healthiest sleep state. To get what is considered by medical professionals as a “healthy” night’s sleep, it is recommended that adults get between seven and nine hours. Children require more at 10 to 16 hours per day with night and naptime.

FROM PAGE 4 HEART HEALTH

Every year, the AHA updates what is known as Life’s Essential 8, which are key measures for improving and maintaining heart health. Making the 2022 list for the ﬁ rst time is sleep, which Park said should be considered as Americans grow more tired.

• Health and repairing skin cells, tissues and blood vessels

A marathon, not a sprint Park said a common disconnect between doctor and patient is people thinking they have to change lifestyle and everything they are eating and doing all at once. Park said this mentality leads to failure because a person cannot make lifestyle changes in only a day.

Park said one of the common struggles between patient and doctor is getting on a realistic plan both can live“Aswith.aphysician, in general, you can tell your patients to do something but it comes down to if they will listen.”

The result of a lack of sleep is not just tired people, it is now being associated with poor hearth health. According to AHA, poor sleep can put a person at higher risk for:

Instead, Park said people should listen to their doctors and start implementing the recommendations slowly.

“It is important in that child/parent relationship to establish a routine,” she said. “Make it a habit to keep hanging out and doing things together. Do not get into a habit of only talking to them when there is a problem.”

As the school year continues, Geva said parents should also promote structured schedules, regular bedtimes and push for good hygiene and eating habits.Through communication, reasonable expectations and check-ins, Geva said stress and anxiety cannot be completely eliminated for students, but it can be dealt with regularly.

Geva said as students are getting more adjusted to the school year, parents can help stave off some anxiety by talking things out, stressing that something that happened during fall or winter break last year may not happen again this year. A bad grade from a class last year doesn’t mean it will happen again this year.

Geva said other students worry differently. These are the students who may not have had a bad year last year but worry about the unknown, stressing about what could happen and thinking the“Itworst.isnot uncommon to have a student have more anxiety by creating things that could go wrong and really thinking the worst in their minds,” Geva said. For these students, Geva said it’s important to communicate with children and talk them through the created anxiety. Emphasize that the horrible things they are imagining in their minds are likely never going to become reality. These days, students are worried about grades and meeting expectations. They worry about doing well in athletics and participating in various programs. As pressures mount, Geva said a student can stay stressed out and anxious throughout the school year.

“When you hear news, confront (your child),” Geva said. “Tell them the news you have heard from other parents.”

For parents, cutting a child a break is also important, Geva said. “If a child is really wanting to shift, change or quit an activity – listen to them,” Geva said. “Allow them to adjust to do what is really best for them.”

Geva said throughout the year, parents should often work toward doing mental health check-ins with both elementary and high-school level children. Working on time management skills and helping to manage required down time can also help relieve pressure and anxiety students feel today.

Parents can be

Having relationships with other parents is beneﬁcial, Geva said, because children often leave out details about the day. Having other parents talking and telling each other what is going on can help in keeping tabs on the daily activities of the class.

By nature, Geva said girls are encouraged and naturally tend to express themselves and show emotion.

Geva said parents can create down time by encouraging a child to just go to the grocery store for a bit, go for a calm, relaxing walk or even stress the importance of play time. “It’s important to do activities that have no real objectives,” Geva said. “Helping to give the child a connection and letting them know they are OK.” While managing activities and time for elementary students is easier, Geva said overseeing how much high schoolers are relaxing and destressing can be more of a challenge.Gevasaid regular communication and encouragement is important for teenagers.

“Boys are a little more tricky,” she said. “It is really a societal thing, and every age is different. It is always important to check in and ask questions regularly.”Forany child, Geva said parents should grow concerned if a child is suddenly displaying different character traits or having abrupt changes in mood.Having an established relationship will help parents identify and react when children are struggling.

When it comes to grades and expectations, Geva said parents should keep up with children and have set standards and expectations. However, she recommended only checking grades sporadically to keep tabs on a student rather than“Childrendaily. really do want independence,” Geva said. “But for parents, checking grades sporadically, doing routine check-ins with teachers and keeping in touch with other parents can keep you informed about your child.”

• Time to call 911 – If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 911 and get to a hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the ﬁrst symptoms appeared. Talk to your doctor about ways to improve your well-being and help prevent stroke. Find more wellness tips at stroke.org.

The ﬁrst step you can take in reducing your risk for stroke is knowing your blood pressure and keeping it in a healthy range. High blood pressure is the No. 1 preventable cause of stroke, according to the American Heart Association. The best way to know your blood pressure is to have it measured at least once per year by a health care professional and regularly monitor it at home then discuss the numbers with a doctor. For most people, a normal blood pressure should be 120/80 mm HG or less. In addition to properly monitoring blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, eating healthfully and reducing or eliminating alcohol and tobacco usage can help control blood pressure. If you do develop high blood pressure, work with a health care professional on a plan to help manage it.

To find a doctor who takes your insurance, call your insurance company and ask for a list of doctors near you who are in-network or use the insurance company’s website to search for a doctor. It’s also a good idea to call the doctor’s office and ask for confirmation they take your plan. You should have your insurance, Medicare or Medicaid card handy in case the office needs your plan details.

Look for a clinic where you are treated with respect and the medical team listens to your opinions and concerns. You should feel comfortable asking questions, and the doctor needs to be able to explain things in ways you understand. Find more resources for your health care needs at cms.gov.

Take a Deeper Look Online research can tell you a great deal about potential doctors, from biographical information and credentials to ratings by former patients.When searching for a new provider, another important area to consider is financial relationships. One resource patients can consider is Open Payments, a national disclosure program within CMS that provides visibility into financial relationships between drug and medical device companies and physicians, and teaching hospitals. The government requires pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers and group purchasing organizations to report funds they give health care providers in the form of meals, entertainment, travel, gifts, consulting fees, research payments and more, promoting transparency and helping uncover potential conflicts of interest. It’s important to know most health care providers receive payments. Just because financial ties are reported does not mean anyone has done anything wrong. However, patients can use the information to talk with their provider about why they recommend certain medications or treatments, including asking about generic options, which are equally as effective as name brands but typ-

FAMILY etween work, family obligations and a constantly changing world, people in the United States are stressed. In fact, U.S. workers are among the most stressed in the world, according to a State of the Global Workplace study. While some stress is unavoidable and can be good for you, constant or chronic stress can have real consequences for your mental and physical health. Chronic stress can increase your lifetime risk of heart disease and stroke. It can also lead to unhealthy habits like overeating, physical inactivity and smoking while also increasing risk factors, including high blood pressure, depression and anxiety. However, a scientiﬁc statement from the American Heart Association shows reducing stress and cultivating a positive mindset can improve health and well-being.

• The top sources of stress are money, work, family responsibilities and health concerns.

A positive mindset can improve overall health. Studies show a positive mindset can help you live longer, and happy individuals tend to sleep better, exercise more, eat better and not smoke. Practice positive self-talk to help you stay calm. Instead of saying, “everything is going wrong,” re-frame the situation and remind yourself “I can handle this if I take it one step at a time.”

Healthy Habits to help reduce stress

Stay Active Exercise is one of the easiest ways to keep your body healthy and release stress. Physical activity is linked to lower risk of diseases, stronger bones and muscles, improved mental health and cognitive function and lower risk of depression. It can also help increase energy and improve quality of sleep.

“As our community grows, just safer paths and walkways for traf ﬁc mitigation and other modes of transportation would be a huge improvement and also good for the environment,” she said. According to the study, there are 2 miles total of segments of Hampden Avenue with missing sidewalks. Additionally, there is a high level of trafﬁc stress for bike users along the corridor.

Importance of community input Part of the purpose of the open house was to encourage people to offer feedback about what they feel the priorities of the study should be — something D’Andrea said was important because the corridor is used so often by com munityAccordingmembers.tothe study, 80% of trips on the corridor are 5 miles or less and 76% of trips were less than 10 minutes. These ﬁndings showed D’Andrea that many use Hampden Avenue to travel short distances within the community, such as to go to the grocery store or pick up children from school.

31September 8, 2022 Study,” is examining the corridor from Lowell Boulevard/Knox Court to Interstate 25 with the goal of addressing concerns about safety, congestion and mobility.

“We got an 80% match from the federal government, and then 20% from CDOT and the locals,” she said, referring to the cities of Englewood, Sheridan and Cherry Hills Village.

“The idea was: How do we get a comprehensive look at what we can do together?” D’Andrea said.

“We thought it was important — because again, we’re touching multiple agencies upon the 6-mile corridor — to have a community advisory committee that’s made up of a lot of different people,” D’Andrea said. “The community advisory committee is really more about stakeholders — somebody who might use the corridor in a certain way.”

The study is currently gathering information about the corridor, such as analyzing previous stud ies and collecting data in terms of trafﬁc, typical biker commutes and public transit routes and us age, D’Andrea said. So far, there have been three community advisory committee meetings, and representatives of the study have also attended sum mer events to help get the word out about the project. “It’s about gathering input, at this point, from the public — like what are the problems, what should we address?” D’Andrea said. Addressing safety and multimodality An estimated 42,000 to 62,000 vehicles drive the corridor per day, and between 2015 and 2019, there were 3,295 crashes, according to the study. The top three crash types were rear-ends, same direc tion sideswipes and approach turn crashes.“They want it to be safer,” D’Andrea said about the feedback the study has gotten. “There is a fair number of accidents of dif ferent kinds, but it’s pretty well distributed along the entire cor ridor.”According to the study, all of Hampden Avenue had higher crash and injury rates than other CDOT state roadways. Safety is one of the top concerns for Jenn Diffendal, a Cherry Hills Village resident. She said she would like to see crash reduc tion at University Boulevard and Hampden Avenue intersection, as well as projects focused on multi modal transportation.

Increasing bike accessibility is something Bartlett said she’d like to see, as well as improving the pedestrian experience. “It cuts Englewood in half, and I’d really like to see them treat it less like a state highway and more like a community feature,” Bartlett said. “I think it’s great that they’re studying it. I know they’re working with CDOT, which is critical, and it’s nice to see the city working with the state.”

Seven entities involved in study, including City of Englewood Maria D’Andrea, Englewood’s former director of public works, said unlike previous studies of the corridor, this one takes a regional approach and involves seven entities: Colorado De partment of Transportation, or CDOT, Regional Transportation District, or RTD, Arapahoe Coun ty and the cities of Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village andD’AndreaDenver.initiated the idea of a collective study, she said. “Originally, when I started with the city, there had been kind of a piecemeal approach to looking at this corridor in terms of how, you know, what improvements could be made,” she said, explaining there have been 23 different stud ies on this road segment over the years.People driving along Hampden Avenue, a CDOT road, typically don’t know which city they are driving in, so it’s important to have a regional approach, rather than city-speciﬁc approach, to im proving the corridor, she said.

In addition to a project manage ment team, there is also a commu nity advisory committee.

FROM PAGE 1 STUDY

To help address the issues facing the corridor, the study split up the 6.3-mile stretch into four seg ments: Lowell Boulevard to Santa Fe Drive; Santa Fe Drive to Gilpin Street; Gilpin Street to Colorado Boulevard; and Colorado Boule vard to “They’reI-25.actually doing a nice job capturing the issues in the segments, which I really like,” Bartlett said. “And now, I just hope they are able to incorporate as many of those into their designs.”

Brainstorming potential solutions

The ultimate goal of the study is having a shared vision and iden tifying short-term and long-term projects that could be anywhere throughout the corridor, D’Andrea said.Widening the whole road isn’t palatable, especially given the close proximity of other buildings, she said. Instead, the study is look ing at improvements that can be made, such as adding a right turn lane, making signals work better, adding sidewalks or adding a new interchange.Whenasked if there have been discussions about how to approach funding these potential projects, she said, “That’s where the rubber meets the road, right? How will we go about doing that? And I think that will have to be in partnership withSheCDOT.”explained individual com munities could look at applying for project funding through the Transportation Improvement Project process. Another possibil ity is potentially adding projects to CDOT’s project list, which the department has separate state funding for, she said. “It’s not going to be inexpen sive,” said Randy Weil, a council member for the City of Cherry HillsWeilVillage.isamember of Denver Regional Council of Govern ments’ Board of Directors and the Arapahoe County Transportation Forum. He said all three organi zations, including city council, are really focused on Hampden Avenue and the opportunity for improvement.“Thesecommunities are very different, so it’s a challenge,” Weil said about identifying solutions. “It’d be simplistic to think one size ﬁts all.”

“I think it’s really important to get that input because people use it so much,” she said. “It’s really part of their daily lives.” The open house was D’Andrea’s last ofﬁcial event, as she has recently accepted a new position as the director of public works for the City of Wheat Ridge, she said.

In total, the study costs just under $1.4 million, she said, and Cherry Hills Village, Sheridan and Englewood each contributed about $40,000.“We’re (Englewood) the project manager. We’re the lead agency, with support from CDOT, and then the other entities are on a project management team,” D’Andrea said, explaining the project team focuses on the logistics of the study and day-to-day tasks.

A big area of opportunity is mul timodal transportation, he said. “Part of the problem is single occupancy vehicles, so if you can encourage use of transit or walking, biking, you know, what ever it might be — likely to be a lot cleaner. That’s good, and that saves fuel and improves air pol lution,” he said. “I think building the multimodal aspects is like the investment for the future.”

The money was allocated in 2019, and the study began in late 2021.

This is the third year The Sun analyzed votes on bills that became law. Republican support in 2019 and in 2021 was similar to this year. House GOP divisions evident in voting patterns All 41 Democrats in the House voted “yes” on 95% of the 407 bills that became law this year. Two Democrats in the chamber — House Speaker Alec Garnett and Rep. Leslie Herod, both of Denver — never cast a “no” vote on a bill that was signed into law.

A record number of bills became law in Colorado for the second straight year, and a majority of the 39 Republicans in the statehouse voted in favor of 56% of them, according to a Colorado Sun analysis of legislation considered at the Capitol in 2022. Of the 657 measures introduced, 507 were signed into law, up from 504 last year.

There were 67 measures, or 13.2% of all bills, that were approved unanimously, and nearly 96% of the bills that became law had the support of at least one GOP lawmaker. Only 14 bills that became law passed with only a single Republican “yes” vote. And only 17 bills, or 3.4% of the bills that became law this year, were approved on a straight party-line vote by Democrats, who control the House and Senate. State Sen. Kevin Priola, of Henderson, voted “yes” on bills more than any other Republican, backing 86% of the measures that became law. He led the GOP in “yes” votes in 2019 and 2021, as well. Last week, Priola announced that he is switching parties to become a Democrat. But the votes he cast in 2022 were as a Republican.

Priola, of Henderson, voted “yes” more often than any other Republican in the legislature. “I just look at the policy,” Priola said. “I read the bill and I think, ‘Does this have merit? And will it work?’ And then I don’t really care what party has taken credit for it.” Despite his support for a large chunk of Democratic legislation, Priola was also the sole GOP “no” vote in the Senate on four measures that became law, including digital license plates for motor vehicles. All four bills were sponsored by lawmakers from both parties. He said his fondest solo “no” vote was on a bipartisan bill in 2018 to ask voters to allow 18-year-olds to run for the legislature.“Thenthat was on the ballot and it got crushed at the ballot box” by 64% of voters, he said. “So I was like, ‘Yep, my gut told me that was not a good thing.’” Voters will decide in November whether to approve two measures referred to the ballot by the legislature.House Bill 1414 placed an initiative on the ballot asking voters to approve free school breakfasts and lunches for all students, which would be paid for by eliminating some tax exemptions for households earning more than $300,000. Three Republican senators — Don Coram, of Montrose; Dennis Hisey, of Colorado Springs; and Cleve Simpson, of Alamosa — voted for that measure, along with two Republican House members — Reps. Mary Bradﬁeld, of Colorado Springs, and Janice Rich, of Grand Junction. Senate Bill 222 placed a measure on the ballot asking voters whether more detailed information should be more prominently provided to them about the effects of income tax rate changes. Democrats were unanimous in their support of the bill, while Republicans unanimously opposed the measure.

Senate voting patterns were less divisive The 20 Democrats in the state Senate voted “yes” on 98% of the bills that became law. Five voted “yes” 100% of the time. Only one Republican, state Sen. Paul Lundeen of Monument, voted “yes” on less than half the bills that became law. Six of the 15 GOP senators voted in the afﬁrmative 75% of the time or more. Lundeen, who is in line to become the Republican leader in the Senate next year, voted “yes” on only 46% of the measures that became law. He said he’s often following his core ideological principles when he votes. “It’s rooted in economics, it’s rooted in the founding vision of this nation,” Lundeen said. “The best way to do that is you don’t let government get bigger and bigger and take on more and more responsibilities.”

LEGISLATURE

When it was returned to second reading, the preliminary vote on bills in the House and Senate, Herod voted against it. The Sun’s analysis includes only bills that become law. A majority of the 24 Republicans in the House voted “yes” on nearly 61% of the bills that became law. And at least 14 of the GOP representatives in the chamber voted “yes” on at least 50% of the bills that became law. Ten members of the House GOP members voted “no” on at least half of bills that became law. The division in voting among House Republicans reflects the deep philosophical split in the caucus over the past two years. Ultra-conservative members of the caucus have often battled their more moderate“Wecounterparts.havedifferent people from all different districts,” said House Minority Leader Hugh McKean, RLoveland. “Certainly you have a really big divide on how we use public funds, how we spend money.” McKean voted “yes” on bills that became law about 57% of the time. And he acknowledged that his caucus had “certain members who prided themselves on voting ‘no.’” “My one request for my members is that they serve their districts,” he said. “It should be, ‘Are we voting our districts? Are we representing constituents that elected us?’” Only one of the 10 frequent “no” voters in the House GOP caucus, state Rep.

“This is an absolute important migratory stopover,” she said. “It’s not just a minor little thing. So we want to preserve Barr Lake and we want people to understand what an absolute gem they have in their backyard, because so many people from Brighton have never even been here.”Visitors can register online to spend a morning at the site to learn about bird banding like Grein and Popp did. The station is open to the public Tuesdays-Sundays until Oct. 23. Visiting the station costs $6 per person.Inaddition to the educational value of learning about bird conservation, experiencing bird banding up close can be magical, no matter what age you are. “It’s like being a child again, you know?” Popp said. “It’s wonderful.”

Migratory stopover Within the larger mission of conservation, it’s important to care for the habitats where birds spend time, Barnes said. Barr Lake State Park is an important stopover on the migratory path for many species, as it provides food, water, shelter and space, she said.

“The Bird Genoscape Project is a genomics-based project where we are looking to sort of take an ‘ancestry dot com’ approach to avian genetics,” said Jacob Job, associate director of the project. The project started in 2009 as a partnership between scientists at CSU and the University of California, Los Angeles, Job said. In 2019, the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies started to contribute DNA samples to the project, McBurney said. Banding is scientiﬁcally useful to understand overall population patterns but it has its limits. Collecting DNA samples can take scientists well beyond those limitations, Job said.“Part of the problem with banding is you have to recover those same birds…That’s very difﬁcult,” Job said. “Our approach, we don’t ever have to recapture a bird… If we capture an American Robin in the winter in Mexico, all we have to do is pull a feather from that bird, look at its genetics, and we can see which population that bird came from.”Jobsaid the project helps scientists to better understand which subspecies are struggling and which are doing well, so that conservation energy and money can be directly applied where it is most needed.

‘Ancestry dot com’ approach In addition to taking note of the band number and measurements, McBurney collects two feathers from some of the birds she catches. These feathers are sent to Colorado State University to contribute to the Bird Genoscape Project, she said. “In order to be able to conserve birds, we have to be able to understand their full lifecycle. That is everything that happens to the bird during the year,” McBurney said. “One of the ways we can do that, besides putting on a band and catching it again, is to look at the DNA.”

She then attaches a lightweight aluminum band to one leg on each bird. “So every bird gets a band, every band has a different number. And of course if it’s caught again, we know exactly which one it is,” McBurney said, pausing every now and then to announce measurements of the bird’s wingspan, tail feathers, weight, amount of fat and stage of molting to a volunteer keeping track of the numbers on a handwritten chart.This data is sent to the U.S. Geological Survey, which gathers data from banders across the nation to analyze and track migratory patterns and population wellbeing, McBurney said. When a banded bird is caught in a different location, it provides information about that bird’s travel path, she said.
