County’s new health department to see familiar faces in leadership Tri-County Health staff named to key roles BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the clock ticks for the TriCounty Health Department, which is set to dissolve Dec. 31, much of its

leadership will see a new chapter after Arapahoe County announced it would bring on staff for key roles in its new, self-serving health department. “Each individual we’ve hired has a deep understanding of the unique public health needs of Arapahoe County,” said Jennifer Ludwig, Arapahoe’s new public health director, who served as deputy director

for Tri-County. “Their work at TriCounty Health Department in the coming months will be instrumental to the continuance of services for residents through the end of the year.” The announcement, which came July 8, marks a major milestone for a county pursuing an aggressive — and unprecedented — timeline to establish health services for its

roughly 650,000 residents by the beginning of next year. Penny Grande will serve as the new health department’s deputy director and will begin working full-time with Arapahoe County this month. Grande served as director of nursing for Tri-County, overseeing daily operations of the agency’s SEE COUNTY, P3

family housing complex in Englewood on a lot near West Oxford Avenue and South Navajo Street. The property is approximately 8.4 acres and currently is home to businesses like Sam’s Automotive Reconditioning Center, located at 1314 W. Oxford Ave. Development plans have been in progress for about a year, said Phil Workman, a partner at The Pachner Company, which handles community engagement for the development.

Soon after the Cherry Creek School District in Arapahoe County announced it would stop designating valedictorians in its high schools, the criticism started pouring in. “The pursuit of excellence has suffered another blow,” wrote George Brauchler, a former Arapahoe County district attorney, in a column for The Denver Post. “The crusade against meritocracy, and for mediocrity, in our schools reached a new level,” the Denver Gazette news outlet’s editorial board wrote. Cherry Creek’s decision even landed a story in national and international news outlet Newsweek, with other media coverage mentioning it too. The practice of honoring valedictorians is one the district’s high school principals had discussed “for many years,” the principals wrote in a letter to parents.

Briefly In Littleton Local youth picnic with senior citizens With summer in full swing, a group of eighth graders and seniors with dementia took part in a cherished summer tradition. They celebrated the dog days of summer with an old-fashioned picnic in the park at Highline Place, an Anthem Memory Care community in Littleton. The students are participants in the Challenge Foundation, which helps smart, ambitious and hardworking students break the cycle of poverty through educational opportunities. The youth joined the seniors in summertime activities including a lemonade stand, bubbles, frisbees, hula hoops, a picnic lunch and more.

“Many of our residents spent their childhood summers playing outdoor games,” said Jodi Cornman, senior community relations director for Highline Place. “This was a chance for our seniors to show today’s kids how to have an old-fashioned and unplugged summer. We hope new friendships will result from their time together.” Participate in discussions on how local government handles issues Residents can participate in an online survey that will help shape how city government addresses pressing topics. To participate, visit the website at http://ow.ly/lBE750JWl5i. No rescue needed after all On July 16, as a storm front moved into the area bringing gusty winds, 911 dispatchers received reports of a party who had fallen into Chatfield Reservoir and was yelling for help. Responders, including dive teams, started to search for the party and find the last known location. A shore group and a diving group were strategically set up. Fortunately, after searching and interviewing multiple people in the area, it was determined that the party got out of the water on their own. This is a friendly reminder for everyone who enjoys our beautiful Colorado waters: Please remember a life vest cannot save your life if it is stored away. Colorado’s weather changes fast, please be safe.

One dead in shooting According to the Littleton Police Department, on July 17, police responded to a call of shots fired in the 2700 block of West Riverwalk Circle at 3:20 a.m. Officers found a white male suffering from gunshot wounds to the chest. The department’s social media post said officers performed life-saving measures until South Metro Fire Rescue arrived on the scene and took over. The male later died at the scene. Little Police are looking for a white sedan and a white Honda CRV. If anyone has information regarding this incident, call 303-7941551. Dear Davis Schilken, I recently worked with an Attorney to help assist me with my Estate Planning. She suggested that I set up a trust. She constantly referred to “funding the trust,” but never explained what that means, or how to do it. Can you help? Sincerely, Frank Funding Dear Frank Funding, It’s always better to analogize funding a trust with a bank account. When we open a bank account, we typically deposit money into that account. If not, the account is virtually of no use to us. That is what we are doing with a Trust. The biggest thing to remember, is the why we’re funding. Often times Estate Planning Attorney’s recommend Trust planning for two main reasons: probate avoidance and privacy. While the concept works in theory, the only way to achieve those goals is to actually “fund” the trust. So how do we do it? The answer to that question is going to depend on what type of asset is being funded to our Trust. These assets may take many different shapes and forms. They can include property, cash accounts, stock accounts, investment accounts, businesses or business interest, vehicles, boats, houses, rental properties, etc. There are two ways to move money and property into a trust: (1) by transferring ownership of the accounts and property from you as an individual to the trust, and (2) by completing beneficiary designations which will then name the trust as the beneficiary on other types of property such as life insurance, investment, and certain types of annuities. Beware, there are some types of assets that do not work well in a Trust (tax reasons) such as IRA’s and certain types of retirement accounts, so it is important to address assets individually. The Davis Schilken, PC team is here to ensure that your assets are properly funded to your trust. We want you and your family to receive the two biggest benefits of Trust planning: privacy and probate avoidance. We want you and your family to KNOW that you are protected when that time comes. Contact our office today to schedule a no obligation meeting with one of our skilled attorneys (303)670-9855. We make estate planning simple!

largest division, with a $16 million budget and 175 employees. Others joining the leadership team are Michele Askenazi as director of environmental health, communicable disease, emergency preparedness and response; Heather Baumgartner as director of planning and health promotion; Jill Bonczynski as director of nutrition; Melissa Spencer as director of nursing; and Breanna Paderewski as director of admin and operations. They all currently serve in those same roles with Tri-County Health and will begin working for the county’s new health department in January, the county said. Arapahoe County is not alone in its scramble to set up its own health department within months. It joins Adams and Douglas counties as well after both counties decided in the fall of 2021 to pull out of Tri-County. It was a decision spurred by Douglas County leaders who had clashed with Tri-County Health officials over mask mandates during the first year of the pandemic. After vowing to form their own health department, Adams and Arapahoe county leaders followed suit, though Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said it was “not something that Arapahoe County actually wanted.” Dr. John Douglas, Tri-County’s executive director, said he was “sorry to see that it went in this direction” and said the pandemic “exacerbated political divisiveness.” “You go into health seeking the common good and that kind of divisiveness got in the way of seeking the public good,” Douglas said. The retention of current TriCounty staff became a key question as the department faces its imminent demise. Douglas said internal polling had shown a vast majority of current Tri-County staff have interest in moving to a new county-run health department. But he also acknowledged Tri-County has seen its employees thin out over the past year following heightened stress and burnout from the pandemic. “Every place saw the great resignation going on, and we weren’t immune to that,” Douglas said. “Last year, we probably were running 30% to 40% more staff choosing to leave than previous years.” Sharpe said while it “would be unrealistic” for the county to be immune to labor shortages, she is hopeful the department’s competitive salaries and benefits would be

enough to hire and retain adequate staff. Douglas said he is not currently in discussion with any of the three counties for a new role and said he is looking to a sabbatical for at least a year once Tri-County dissolves. “My firm plans are to get us through the next six months,” Douglas said. Along with leadership staff, Arapahoe County also recently named its five-person health board to guide the new department that includes county commissioners Sharpe and Nancy Jackson as well as Shawn Davis, a Colorado-based health care consultant; Bebe Kleinman, CEO of Doctors Care; and Dr. Heather N Signorelli, a pathologist and vice president and chief laboratory officer for HCA Healthcare. Along with its ability to issue mask mandates and promote vaccines and testing during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tri-County Health supports a slew of other services to county residents, including nocost cancer screenings, overdose prevention, free nurse visits and restaurant and child care facility inspections. These are all services Arapahoe County leaders pledged would continue under their new department. A budget still remains to be finalized, but the new health department is expected to cost at least $5 million or more annually, according to Sharpe, who said money will come from the county’s own budget as well as state and federal funds. Arapahoe County paid the most for Tri-County services of the three counties last year, according to a consulting firm’s report, at $4.8 million. Adams paid $3.8 million while Douglas paid $2.6 million.

Seven state Senate districts could shift control Colorado Republicans have opening to take chamber in General Assembly

• Senate District 24: This is a Democratic-leaning district in northwest Adams County. Democratic state Rep. Rep. Kyle Mullica ($54,272) faces Republican Courtney Potter ($16,607), an Adams 12 Five Star Schools board member.

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado Senate is likely where Republicans have their best shot this year of taking back some control of state government from Democrats after four years in the minority of the legislative and executive branches. While the GOP will try to win a majority in the Colorado House and unseat Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, the odds are stacked against them in those two arenas. That leaves the 35-member Senate as the most plausible place to turn the tide. Here’s a look at where the battlegrounds will be. The lay of the land Democrats now hold a 20-15 advantage in the Senate. They are guaranteed 12 seats, with 11 holdovers and one Democratic candidate, Sen. Julie Gonzales of Denver, running unopposed. Republicans are guaranteed eight seats, with seven holdovers and one uncontested race in Senate District 1 on the deeply Republican Eastern Plains, where Logan County Commissioner Byron Pelton is unopposed. Another five seats up for grabs in

November are considered solidly Republican, while three are considered solidly Democratic. That leaves seven seats that are possible pick-up opportunities for the GOP, according to Cnalysis, which ranks the competitiveness of state legislative contests. The seven critical districts The seven tossup districts are across Colorado. We have listed them out below. (The amounts in parentheses are the amount of money each candidate had in their campaign bank account as of June 22.)

• Senate District 3: This Pueblo seat tilts Republican. Democratic state Sen. Nick Hinrichsen ($26,919) faces Republican Stephen Varela ($14,387), an Army veteran. Hinrichsen was appointed to the seat earlier this year after Senate President Leroy Garcia resigned to take a Pentagon job. • Senate District 11: This reconfigured Colorado Springs district tilts Democratic. GOP state Sen. Dennis Hisey ($33,179) moved into the district after being drawn out of his old seat in the once-a-decade redistricting process. He’ll face state Rep. Tony Exum ($9,238), who won his primary contest. • Senate District 15: Cnalysis says this district leans Republican. Incumbent Republican state Sen. Rob Woodward ($138,003), of Loveland, will face Democrat Janice Marchman ($30,531), a middle school math teacher from Loveland. • Senate District 27: This Arapahoe County district leans Democratic. State Rep. Tom Sullivan ($41,217), a Democrat and gun-regulation advocate, faces Tom Kim ($3,022), a business owner and former lawyer. • Senate District 20: This Jefferson County district leans Democratic. State Rep. Lisa Cutter ($41,254), a Democrat, faces Tim Walsh ($22,689), owner of Confluence Builders. • Senate District 8: This Democratic-leaning district is based in northwestern Colorado. Democratic state Rep. Dylan Roberts ($124,176) faces former Eagle City Councilman Matt Soloman ($19,632), a Republican.

The money Most of the spending in these races won’t be by the candidates, but rather by the state-level super PACs supporting them. In 2018, when Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans after four years in the minority, Republican outside groups spent nearly $8.5 million compared with Democratic outside groups spending $8.3 million on five competitive races. That compared with $1.9 million spent by Democratic candidates in the five contests, while the five GOP candidates spent a total of $631,000. And in 2020, Democratic outside groups spent $6.1 million compared with Republican outside groups’ $3.3 million. This year, Republicans have the cash advantage through June 22. The Senate Majority Fund had raised about $2.6 million to support Republican candidates, while All Together Colorado raised about $1.7 million to support Democrats. The national GOPAC Election Fund contributed $560,000 to the Senate Majority Fund and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America Colorado PAC contributed $160,000 to the fund. The national Republican State Leadership Committee recently donated $200,000 to super PAC Unite for Colorado Action. That state-level super PAC spent $1.6 million in 2020, mostly on state Senate contests. Education Reform Now Advocacy gave $290,000 to All Together Colorado, and Denver philanthropist Merle Chambers gave $250,000 to the group. It’s likely money will continue to flow into these two super PACs and possibly others as Nov. 8 nears and the battle for the state Senate intensifies.

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 1

“The practices of class rank and valedictorian status are outdated and inconsistent with what we know and believe of our students. We believe all students can learn at high levels, and learning is not a competition,” the principals wrote in the letter about the policy, which will begin with the class of 2026. Cherry Creek’s new policy took aim at “unnecessary pressure,” the letter said, a welcome change in the eyes of Dr. Anna Mueller, an associate professor of sociology who has studied mental health among youths in different parts of the country, including in Colorado. “How painful and stressful academic pressure for teenagers can be is very real,” Mueller told Colorado Community Media. ‘Healthier school culture’ The decision to cut valedictorian status isn’t unheard of: One of the Colorado communities that made the move years ago is Boulder Valley School District. Boulder Valley top official Rob Anderson didn’t oversee the decision — he started as superintendent there in 2018 — but “since I’ve been here, no one’s asked me to bring it back,” Anderson said. Anderson also served as deputy superintendent of academics in Fulton County, Georgia, in the Atlanta area, where the highachieving Northview High School decided to stop naming valedicto-

rians and salutatorians “because of the additional pressures it puts on kids,” Anderson said. “Just anecdotally, talking with parents, talking with (the) principal, it created a healthier school culture for those kids that were among the top in the class,” said Anderson, speaking about the Northview High decision. In Anderson’s view, differences in grade point average, or GPA, at the top of a class can be insignificant. The gap can sometimes be a tenth or hundredth of a point “when you’re separating highly motivated, incredibly intelligent kids who are trying to reach those types of goals,” Anderson said. “There’s not a lot of room in between.” “Talk to (students vying for) valedictorian or salutatorian. They’re not sleeping,” said Anderson, who felt kids can be successful without the titles. Superintendent Chris Fiedler, leader of the Brighton-area 27J Schools district, has not served in any school district where valedictorians are not recognized. He wasn’t sure of whether removing valedictorian designation from high schools would affect student achievement broadly. “Do I think it drives academic performance? It absolutely does for those kids that are chasing (high rank),” Fiedler said. “I’m of the opinion that it drives competition among kids. I don’t think that’s a bad thing as long as it’s healthy.” Fiedler previously served as superintendent of the Gilpin County

School District in Black Hawk and then as superintendent of Deer Trail School District 26J in Deer Trail, according to 27J’s district website. He’s co-chair of the Denver Area School Superintendents Council. “I don’t believe always that the letter grade students earn in a class is always an accurate representation of what they learned or not,” Fiedler said. “Some of the classes I learned the most in I didn’t get an A in.” Michael Mazenko, a Cherry Creek High School teacher, a former school administrator and a past gifted education coordinator, argued in an op-ed in The Denver Post that “ranking can encourage kids to avoid hard classes out of fear of losing a decimal point.” The competition for valedictorian status and rank creates “gamesmanship” and limits students from choosing courses based on growth and interest “to instead choose what’s best to manipulate GPA,” Mazenko wrote. On the other hand, chasing a high GPA can also push students to load their schedule with lots of Advanced Placement and honors courses. Fiedler said both scenarios are realistic. “Kids who were vying to be valedictorian, salutatorian, they would steer away from non-weighted classes because it would hurt their GPA. If the school has band or yearbook, valuable classes … kids wouldn’t take those classes,” Anderson said. Anderson said pressure to reach a certain class rank encourages high-achieving students to “overload themselves.” Those kids “not only fill up their school year but fill up their summers, take classes beyond the school year, beyond the normal course load a student would take,” Anderson said. Asked whether the decision of whether to recognize a valedictorian affects middle- or lowerachieving students, Fiedler said: “My opinion is no.” “I believe that there are probably 20 to 25 kids, maybe 30, maybe 35, that go into high school their freshman year with that on their mind. And after freshman year, it quickly sorts itself” and some kids stop pursuing that rank, Fiedler said. In general, Fiedler felt that “competition is good and healthy” and that focusing on rank is a valid practice. “I would argue that in most if not all of life, we keep score. If we’re not going to honor valedictorians anymore … are we no longer going to have state wrestling champions?” Fiedler said, for example. “Life is filled with competition,” he added. ‘Downplay the achievements’ Cherry Creek School District declined to make an official available for an interview with Colorado Community Media about the valedictorian policy, but district spokesperson Abbe Smith highlighted that Cherry Creek High School did not have a valedictorian process even before the district’s announcement, which came in the principals’ letter dated March 9. “Cherry Creek High School, the

district’s flagship and arguably one of the top high schools in the nation, eliminated valedictorian and ranking of students more than 30 years ago,” Mazenko, the former school administrator, wrote in the Post. “Ranking can actually compromise and downplay the achievements of the school’s high number of extraordinary students,” he continued. Cherry Creek district will continue to acknowledge the academic achievements of students through other methods, such as honor roll, GPA cords at graduation, and department- and school-specific awards, according to the principals’ letter. ‘Cultural shift’ Mueller, the associate professor of sociology, said academic pressure can push some young people to a concerning place. “Some of my past research has really shown that academic pressure can play a role in making kids feel like life is not worth living — like life is unbearable and that suicide is their only escape,” said Mueller, who works for Indiana University. Her study, titled “Adolescents Under Pressure,” underscored the importance of addressing the social causes — for example, academic pressure — of youths’ psychological pain, according to a summary on her website. Pressure from “narrow beliefs” about what makes “good kids and good families” can constrain how kids imagine the pathway to adulthood, Mueller said. “It makes failures that much more intense because it seems like absolutely everything is on the line,” Mueller said. “If you fail that one test or fail that one class or get a C on that one class … it’s this much bigger, existential thing of ‘I’m not going to be able to do X, Y, Z long-term goals.’” She added: “If we’re going to encourage people to push their academic limits, or their athletic limits or their nerd limits, we have to make it OK to fail.” While Mueller doesn’t think ending valedictorian designation will change everything about that type of pressure, she thinks it’s “the sort of policy that’s a step in the right direction.” It could act as “a symbol to the larger community of ‘let’s make this cultural shift,’” Mueller said. But, she added, such a shift would have to also be supported by other school policies, by parents and by kids themselves, and by teachers. One source of pressure that exists outside the reach of high school policy: the cost of paying for college. Part of what puts pressure on students is the pursuit of merit scholarships, which are more competitive than merely getting into college, Mueller said. She argues students don’t need to attend a “highly selective university” to receive a good education. “I would actually argue if we could take some of the pressure off parents for paying for college and students for paying for college, I think that would (benefit) our nation’s mental health,” Mueller said. “Probably parents and students.”

Altitude-Comcast blackout will continue indefinitely Colorado viewers still won’t see local sports as attempted mediation fails BY PAOLO ZIALCITA COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Talks to end the three-year contract dispute between cable giant Comcast and local sports broadcaster Altitude TV failed July 12, meaning another season of Colorado sports could be unavailable to customers of the state’s largest cable provider. A Comcast spokesperson confirmed a second round of mediation failed to yield an agreement between the two parties. They do not currently have another

round of mediation scheduled. “We are fans of the Avs, Nuggets and Rapids, and we share the Colorado hockey fans’ excitement around the Avs amazing Stanley Cup win. We’ve presented options for some time to Altitude for how we could carry the games without raising rates for all Comcast customers. And we continue to remain open to continuing discussions with Altitude,” Comcast spokesperson Leslie Oliver said in an email. Altitude TV did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The channel broadcasts the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Rapids. The three teams and the channel are all owned by Stan Kroenke.

The breakdown in negotiations will likely come as a disappointment to fans, as well as Colorado state legislators who introduced and subsequently killed a bill that would have forced the two parties to come to an agreement through state intervention. One group of fans will soon be free of this dispute, however. Starting in 2023, the Rapids will be removed from Altitude’s programming lineup. All Major League Soccer games will be exclusively streamed on Apple TV+ starting that year. This story is from Colorado Public Radio, a nonprofit news source. Used by permission.

Colorado health insurance prices set to jump next year BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Health insurance prices for many Coloradans could rise by as much as 11% next year, the largest jump in five years. That’s the bad news in preliminary rate filings released July 12 by the Colorado Division of Insurance. The filings are for plans sold in the small group and individual markets — the places where small companies and people who shop for insurance on their own purchase coverage. But state regulators also see a silver lining. Prices for the new Colorado Option, the quasi-public health insurance program that promises better benefits at lower costs, will largely hit their goals, according to the preliminary filings. In nearly every county, rates for the Colorado Option will be below the countywide average price in each of the three levels of coverage — gold, silver and bronze. In addition, the Colorado Option does not appear to have sent insurers headed for the exits en masse. Instead, people in every county but one will see at least two choices for insurers on the state’s insurance exchange when open enrollment starts up in the fall. In Jackson County, there will be only one choice, same as this year. “I am a firm believer that good regulation actually incentivizes companies to play in the marketplace, and I think you’re going to see that with the Colorado Option,”

‘Premium rates must be reasonable and justified; the industry shouldn’t use the ongoing pandemic or inflation to hike company profits.’ Mannat Singh, executive director of the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative Michael Conway, Colorado’s insurance commissioner, said. Oscar Health — which last year covered about 3,800 people in the state, all along the Front Range — will not return to offer plans in Colorado in 2023. Its leaders cited unspecified regulatory challenges in announcing plans to pull out of Colorado, as well as Arkansas, in 2023. Both were small markets for the company, and its CEO said Oscar wants to focus on markets “where we can win.” Here’s a few other things to know about the July 12 release: The price increases could have been a lot higher Colorado has what is known as a reinsurance program — a system where the state helps health insurance companies in the individual market pay their highest-cost claims. That allows the insurers to

lower their prices for everyone. Conway’s team estimates that, without reinsurance, Colorado would be looking at premium price increases above 30%. As it is, the 11.3% average increase for the individual market is the largest since 2018, when prices jumped 27%. The biggest increases will likely be seen on the Eastern Plains and Western Slope, where insurers are proposing an average increase for individual market premiums of 21% and 19.2%, respectively. Bright Health and Friday Health Plans are proposing the largest increases — 21% and 24.2%, respectively. Kaiser Permanente is not proposing an increase for its individualmarket plans. In the small group market, premiums are expected to increase statewide by an average of 9.2%. The fate of federal subsidies is still unknown Exactly what this means for how much health insurance will cost people next year is a stupefyingly complicated question. Base premium rates vary based on the level of the plan, the county where you live, what age you are and whether you smoke. To get to what you actually pay involves more number-crunching related to how much you earn and how much you are eligible for in federal subsidies. And this year, there is another variable: whether Congress will continue the enhanced premium subsidies put in place during the pandemic. (The federal government offers subsidies to certain people shopping in the individual market, based on income, to help them pay their premiums. The American Rescue Plan supercharged these subsidies, expanding them to include more people.) If Congress does not extend the enhanced subsidies, 13 million Americans could see what they pay for health insurance increase next year. In Colorado, about 25,000 more people are receiving a subsidy this year than in 2021, though how many of those will end up paying more if the subsidies are not extended can often come down to highly specific circumstances. What happens to Colorado Option plans that didn’t hit the target? The Colorado Option is a health insurance plan designed by state regulators but sold by private insurance companies in the individual and small group markets. It was built to be more generous for primary care and mental health benefits and more equitable, while

also costing less. To meet that last goal, state law sets a target: Colorado Option plans have to be priced 5% below what an insurer charged in a given county in 2021, adjusting for inflation. On Tuesday, Conway said he projects at least 87% of people shopping in the individual market will have access to at least one Colorado Option plan that hits the target. But what does that mean for the number of Colorado Option plans that don’t meet the 5% goal? Conway didn’t provide a number, saying the state is still evaluating it. In the future, insurers whose Colorado Option plans don’t meet the savings targets will be hauled in for a public rate hearing, after which regulators could potentially step in and start setting hospital prices to drive the cost of the plans down. But Conway said that won’t happen for the 2023 rates. Those hearings still could take place next year, but they would only be focused on the prices for 2024 insurance plans. Consumer advocates vow to fight for lower rates The Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, an advocacy organization that is the state’s most vocal in pushing for lower health insurance prices, slammed the proposed rates Tuesday, suggesting that insurers and hospitals “may be using inflation as an excuse to drive up rates.” “Even as reinsurance keeps premiums for Coloradans down, and as we see more companies offer plans in more counties, health insurance continues to be unaffordable for too many Coloradans,” Mannat Singh, CCHI’s executive director, said in a statement. “Premium rates must be reasonable and justified; the industry shouldn’t use the ongoing pandemic or inflation to hike company profits.” In a statement, Amanda Massey, the executive director of the Colorado Association of Health Plans, an insurer trade group, said insurers had to juggle a number of competing interests to come up with next year’s prices. “The preliminary 2023 rate filings reflect the hard work of the industry to increase the quality, affordability and access of health insurance for Colorado consumers while ensuring actuarially sound rates in a time of high inflation,” she said. You can make your voice heard State regulators will take the next couple of months to review the proposed rates and decide whether to approve them or order changes. Final rates for 2023 should be released by the end of summer or early fall. Until Aug. 1, the public is able to submit comments on the rates. Go to the Division of Insurance’s website for more information on how to dig into the rate filings and submit a comment.

Mental health providers say they were ‘blindsided’ again by Medicaid policies New rules about the supervision of counselors working toward their licenses could worsen BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado mental health counselors in private practice say they’ve been surprised once again with new rules that will make it harder to treat the state’s most vulnerable patients: those with Medicaid insurance. The latest friction between behavioral health professionals and the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing centers on the supervision of post-graduate counselors working toward their state license. The department — which approved the policy written by the regional agencies that handle payments to mental health clinics — says the new rules are necessary to ensure Medicaid patients are receiving quality care. But counselors in private practice say the rules could mean the loss of dozens of workers and potentially hundreds of mental health appointments. They’re also frustrated because they said they didn’t know the new rules were coming. The policy, which was announced at the beginning of this month, imposes stricter requirements on using interns still working toward their graduate degrees and therapists who have graduated but have yet to receive their license, a process that takes two to four years after graduation. Those pre-licensed counselors can see patients, but must have a licensed counselor sign off on their diagnoses and progress notes from each counseling session. With the new rules, only counselors who have been licensed for at least two years can sign off on the work of pre-licensed counselors. The rules also stipulate that any counselor sanctioned by the state licensing division, at the Department of Regulatory Agencies, must wait for two years after their sanctions have expired before supervising pre-licensed counselors. Counselors in private practice see both rules as an overreach, one that will mean fewer appointments for patients on the government insurance program for the needy, Medicaid. About 30 of them attended a virtual meeting this week with the Medicaid division, which is housed in the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. “We feel like that is going too far,” Andrew Rose, a psychotherapist and director of Boulder Emotional Wellness, said in an interview. “If DORA has decided you are safe to practice, that should be good enough.” But Cristen Bates, the state’s interim Medicaid director, said the policy is geared toward expanding the workforce — by creating standardized rules so that counselors still seeking their license have

a clear path to getting experience and becoming licensed counselors. The issue is that the regional agencies that serve as the middlemen between clinics and the state Medicaid department have had inconsistent rules as they’ve allowed pre-licensed counselors to practice under supervision. The new policy, which also applies to community mental health centers, was created by those agencies to apply to counselors statewide. “We have to make sure that our members are getting high-quality care,” Bates said. “We were glad to see some very clear rules about when this is and is not appropriate.” Where the department erred, Bates said, was in not informing behavioral health care professionals about the policy changes or showing them a draft ahead of the implementation date. “The rollout was where we kind of had some challenges,” she said. The regional agencies are now considering possible changes to the policy and have said they will not deny claims or penalize

Colorado is divided into seven regions run by agencies that contract with the state Medicaid division. Behavioral health providers who want to take patients on Medicaid must enroll first at the state department and then with the regional agencies.

DEVELOPMENT

‘This area, like everywhere in Denver, is changing.’

FROM PAGE 1

Originally, Embrey Partners proposed building two four-story multi-family buildings, amounting to about 555 units. However, after conducting a neighborhood meeting with residents who voiced concerns that the development was too big and bulky, the developers changed the plan, said Chris Alvarado, the vice president of development at Embrey Partners. “We listened to that and, you know, we’ve done a lot of things to try to improve that,” Alvarado said. “We definitely toned it down a lot.” The new plan proposes building one four-story multi-family building and one three-story townhome complex, reducing the number of units to about 396, Alvarado said. The development also features a pool, courtyard, dog park and greenery throughout the property. The multi-family housing building would be composed of three-bedroom, two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio apartments, Alvarado said. The exact costs of the units have not been determined yet, he said. A percentage of the units would be affordable, which Alvarado said developers are defining based on what the city requires. Other units are proposed to be priced at market rate, Workman said. The average cost of rent for apartments in Englewood is between $1,575 and $2,350, according to Rent.com, an online apartment search platform.

Phil Workman, spokesperson for proposed development

“Certainly, it’s really expensive in the metro area,” Workman said. “We want to work with Englewood and address those issues, and we’re certainly sensitive to that. We want to be able to be workforce housing.” Project timeline and opportunity for community input To be able to develop the proposed buildings, the developers have to submit a planned unit development application to facilitate a rezoning of the property and a “major plat application” to combine the separate lots and dedicate a right-of-way along West Oxford Avenue, according to a letter sent to residents living near the property in March. Jasper Vue, the director of community outreach for The Pachner Company, said in an email that the development team submitted its development plan to Englewood’s Community Development Department, which oversees planning, zoning and other development initiatives, on April 8. Vue said that from the plan submission, the team typically will receive referral comments from other

city departments and agencies, such as Englewood’s planning and traffic divisions. The team is planning to resubmit the plan, addressing all referral comments, on July 29, Vue said. Alvarado said the team has to submit a minimum of two plans and a maximum of three. Following these plan submissions, the planned unit development application will be reviewed by the planning and zoning commission, which will then offer a recommendation to city council. City council has the authority to approve or deny the application. Workman said it could be September or October before the team presents before the planning and zoning commission. There will be a public hearing for both the planning and zoning commission and city council meetings, during which residents can share opinions on the project. The community engagement team for the project also plans to host a community meeting for residents in the middle of August, Vue said. If everything goes smoothly, Alvarado said the team could probably get rezoning and site approval around November or December this year and have a groundbreaking in the summer of 2023. Residents voice concerns about traffic, other nearby projects Determining the timeline of the project was one of the main concerns of Steve Petsch, who has worked at Sam’s Automotive for about 13 years. He was among about eight residents who attended the development’s latest community outreach meeting, held at the corner of South Lipan Street and West Quincy Avenue, on June 9. “I’m just trying to figure out how long I got a job,” he said. “Trying to make a plan on life at this point in time — a little too old and a little too young.” Alvarado said the property has not yet been purchased. The plan depends on a willing sale of the property to the developers and does not involve eminent domain. “We’ve got a closing date contingent upon these things happening and being able to move forward,” Alvarado said. He said that at the time of closing, businesses would have between 60 and 90 days to vacate the property. Two other primary concerns that residents spoke of were limited parking and an increase in traffic. There are already issues with people parking on residential streets in the area and traffic congestion, they said. Many said they are worried that the influx of people with this development, in combination with the nearby five-story Navajo apartments development at 4201 S. Navajo St., will worsen the issues. To address parking, Alvarado

said the developers plan to create about 640 parking spaces and that there would be enough parking for residents and guests to park within the property. There would be surface parking, a covered parking garage for residents to self-park, and the townhomes would also have parking garages for self-parking. The average cars per unit is 1.7 to 1.8, he said. There will also be three entrances to the property along West Oxford Avenue, South Navajo Street and West Quincy Avenue, Alvarado said. Parking will also be private, and there will be security and management to monitor parking. The developers have also looked into the impact the project may have on traffic. “We’ve done a complete traffic study for the project, which the city has vetted and reviewed and approved,” said Mike Kibbee, the traffic transportation consultant for the development. He said he included the traffic that will be generated by a different apartment development on Navajo Street in the traffic study as well. The results of the traffic study said that the development of the property will not worsen traffic, Alvarado said. “We understand that it’s already pretty tight. We totally get that,” Alvarado said. “We’ve built a lot of projects in Denver, and you know, this isn’t the first time that we’ve had this type of a situation.” Alvarado said the developers are working closely with the city to consider ways to reduce traffic, such as widening a couple of street lanes as well as improving traffic signaling. Specifically, Kibbee said the team is recommending improvements for the traffic signal at West Oxford Avenue and South Navajo Street. Another item under consideration is removing the wall along South Navajo Street near Sam’s Automotive and placing another lane there, Kibbee said. “We’re trying to do everything we can within our power,” Alvarado said. “If our residents aren’t happy, and you’re not happy, obviously, everybody’s not happy.” One resident said that for those living on the block of South Lipan Street next to the development, he thinks their property values will decrease because there will be a large development blocking their backyard view. He asked if rezoning the block of South Lipan Street next to the development had been discussed. Workman said the topic had not been brought up during meetings with the city, but that it’s a good question. Workman said the developers want to continue to address some of the issues brought up by attendees. He asked that residents reach out to the community engagement team if they have any questions. “I know change is hard, if you’ve lived here forever,” he said. “This area, like everywhere in Denver, is changing.” At the same time, Workman said the movement of younger people to the area is really exciting, and that the development could help “reinvigorate this whole area.” Those interested in contacting the community engagement team about this development can email Phil Workman at: phil@ thepachnercompany.com.

Centennial Water OKs drought restrictions Dry conditions drive board to approve Stage 1 limits BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As expected, the Centennial Water & Sanitation District Board of Directors voted to move into Stage 1 drought restrictions during the July 6 meeting. The drought restrictions apply to those living in the Centennial Water service area, which includes the communities of Highlands Ranch, Solstice and Northern Douglas County Water & Sanitation District. Centennial Water is encouraging customers to cut outdoor water use by 15% to 20%. To help achieve this, Centennial Water is implementing the Stage 1 outdoor watering restrictions beginning Wednesday, July 20. Under the Stage 1 designation, outdoor irrigation will be limited to two days per week in accordance with Centennial Water’s adopted watering schedule. Residential customers with odd-numbered addresses can water on Sundays and Wednesdays; even-numbered addresses can water on Saturdays and Tuesdays. For a complete schedule, including multi-family and commercial irrigation customers, visit centennialwater.org. “Sometimes we have to take steps in the short-term to protect against the uncertainties of current drought conditions,” Centennial Water General Manager Sam Calkins said in the press release. “Moving into Stage 1 restrictions is an example of this. Implementing water conservation measures now not only helps with current conditions but will also better position Centennial Water as it moves into another potentially dry year in 2023. We’re asking everyone to come together as a community to help conserve water so future restrictions are not needed.” According to the July 11 news release announcing the decision, the company said in its 40-plus year history, Centennial Water has been

proactive in securing water resources and obtaining surface water storage rights to adequately serve the community. In doing so, Centennial Water is well positioned with a reliable water supply for today and into the future. According to the release, a key factor in Centennial Water’s success is utilizing a conjunctive use system, which combines supplies from both surface water and groundwater to meet water demands of the community. “We are proud that over the past 25 years, 90% of the water supplied to our customers has come from renewable river supplies,” said Board chairman Jeff Kappes. “As Colorado and the Western United States continues to move through a multi-year drought, this step taken by Centennial Water to move into Stage 1 water restrictions is consistent with our history of taking progressive steps in maintaining the portfolio we started more than 40 years ago.” Prior to elevating to Stage 1, Centennial Water stayed under the “Drought Watch” designation through 2021 and the start of this summer. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Douglas County has been in drought conditions since September 2021, and as of July 5, 2022, Centennial Water’s service area is in moderate drought conditions. Centennial Water staff and board members have kept a close eye on drought conditions that are warmer and drier than normal, pushing the board to make changes this summer. Centennial Water’s storage reservoirs have continued to drop. As of June 21, they were at 37% capacity, which is 30% less water in storage than the average for June over the past 10 years. Last year in May, data provided by the water district, had Centennial Water’s reservoir storage at 6,782 acre-feet, or 39% of the 17,200 capacity. The median storage level for May over the last 10 years has been 9,495 acre-feet. Water districts measure water levels through acre-feet, which is about 326,000 gallons, equaling the size of a football field one foot deep.

No such thing as ‘The Media’

borrowed this week’s title from a long-ago colleague. Many years ago, he tried to stress the point that people referring to “The Media” is not quite accurate. Today, that statement is truer than ever. In reading articles and information about our industry, we often hear “The Media,” especially when we are being put down for the state and attitude of the nation. Here’s where I am going with this — There is FROM THE no such thing as “The Media” because an organization like Colorado Community Media and a EDITOR CNN, FOX News or New York Times are not alike at all. Television, radio, major news stations and major newspapers are not all made of the same cloth. Mainstream media and the small-town newspaper, which I will argue are more valuable today than ever, are nothing alike and the reporters doing the work are completely different. Over the last week, I read an interesting article where a journalist even says she is sick of the Thelma Grimes news and listened to a radio show that talked about just how tired of news the average American is. I have to say, I agree. Over the last few years, my news consumption has decreased tremendously. I rarely go near television news at all anymore. Here’s where the discussion gets interesting. Some who are talking about this topic are saying it happened during the pandemic when Americans just got tired of all of it. On a local radio show, the host recently talked about what happened to “The Media” when Donald Trump was elected president. Was it the pandemic or Donald Trump? I think the reasoning in both cases have valid points. I think Bill Maher said it best about the pandemic when he said at some point media coverage on COVID became more about “scaring the sh#$ out of people” over informing and reporting. There is some truth to that. Instead of reading and listening to commentary about the pandemic, I paid attention to local information and turned to the well-done data chart NPR created that just showed numbers on how each state was doing. Then, we have the Donald Trump effect. The former president did the media and nation no favors. The media became like a dog with a bone, covering every aspect of Trump’s unconventional way of leading this nation. Agree with the former president or not, I would argue with anyone telling me the media did a great job during his four years in office. Look at the Hunter Biden situation, I have a hard time believing that mainstream media would have ignored this story as much as they have if the name behind the investigation was Trump Jr. The problem with the pandemic and Trump’s presidency is the distrust in the media has grown, the divide in this country is huge and the impact is felt on media companies like CCM, where we are more worried about what your local city council and school board is doing than we are about whatever Biden’s press secretary said today. As distrust mounts and we are blamed for “The Media,” newspapers nationwide are closing and creating what is being referred to as “news deserts.” CNN and Fox News will weather the storm, speaking to their respective audiences who tune in to hear what they want to hear. However, once the local, community newspaper is no longer available, learning what local council members are doing, where your local tax dollars are going and why in the world the lanes are closed for construction again on Broadway — will no longer be available to you. Bottom line, don’t lump your local, community newspaper in with your disdain for “The Media.” Instead, we ask that you support us as we continue to build and grow to serve 24 communities along the Front Range. Thelma Grimes is the south metro editor for Colorado Community Media.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Newell column spurs questions Regarding the column “Fewer freedoms, more politics” by Linda Newell, July 7: Former state Sen. Linda Newell’s July 7 column, “Fewer freedoms, more politics,” leaves me wondering. Why should women bear the burden of abortion when men should be responsible for their role in pregnancy? What about the rights of the female lives lost via abortion? Would Senator Newell be willing to define the terms advanced regarding abortion by President Bill Clinton and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton: safe — legal — rare?

In light of her concern about politicization of the judiciary, how does Senator Newell evaluate previous Supreme Court decisions, such as: Obamacare (2012), Obergefell (2015), DACA (2020), and Bostock (2020)? If “politics is local,” why wouldn’t Senator Newell advocate for abortion rules to be decided at the community and state level, as the Dobbs decision allows? I look forward to further columns by Senator Newell taking up these issues. Tom Siekmeier, Littleton SEE LETTERS, P15

Getting back what we put out

orking with Zig Ziglar was truly a blessing in so many ways. Whenever he would meet someone in the afternoon or evening, he would greet them with a big smile and an enthusiastic and cheerful, “Good morning.” The person on the receiving end would almost always reply with, “Good morning to you too.” And then would catch themselves saying, “But it’s not morning.” And Zig would reply with a question, “Well then why did you say good morning?” And the person would say, “Because you said good morning.” That’s where the teaching would begin as Zig would remind the person that we get back what we put out, giving the person an aha moment. We know that when trying something like this, that it all comes down to the delivery. And Zig was so easygoing and good hearted that no one ever took offense to his mini lessons of life. Another story he would share from the stage is this one. A woman and her 6-yearold son were at home one day. The fam-

Inflation is not always bad

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

f you were not an adult in the 1970s or even born yet, you might not have a clue what all this talk about inflation is. And even if you do remember clearly, this time is likely to be different. Remember our new favorite word from COVID is “unprecedented.” Most of us know that inflation is when prices go higher, but that is not always a bad thing for the economy. We want economic growth; therefore, prices will rise, along with profits and interest rates. These are not negatives unless things get out of hand. If you rely on your one economics class on supply and demand, this concept is relatively simple. However, the causes play into the effects and that is where the uncertainty lies. Today consumers are concerned they are dipping into their discretionary spending to pay for necessities such as food, housing, and

fuel. Investors are concerned their assets are not holding their true purchasing power if everything gets more expensive but investment cycles ebb and flow with the economy. Therefore, the denominabe growth. Patricia Kummer torNomust one complains about high prices if they feel they are getting value for the money spent, or they have enough money to buy what they want without feeling a pinch. It’s when we don’t have the wage increases, or the stock market rising that we feel things cost too much. If the economy is on a growth tear and corporate earnings are soaring, then our investments should be going up as well. When prices increase without the underly-

ing growth in your financial situation, then inflation feels personal. And it is …. personal. We all have our own inflation rate. It is made up of what we like to buy, how much we earn, and how we handle periods of economic decline in light of our needs and wants. According to Jay Weinstein, CFA ¹ most people would say inflation goes up when the economy gets too strong, or the government prints too much money. Except that was not the case in the 1970s. Nor was the opposite true between 1983 and 2007 when we had consistent economic growth and still managed two recessions and falling interest rates for 25 years. The period from 2008 until now included the Great Recession followed by painfully slow economic growth, the Fed’s easy money policy, and now stagflation, inflation, market corrections, slowing economic

growth and a potential recession. Economists may deem the cause of rising rates to be the result of three main contributors: Pent-up demand from COVID; reduced supply of fuel and food due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine; and supply chain shortages due to China’s lockdown. None of these would have been caused by a normal economic cycle of recessionary traits such as high unemployment and negative economic growth. Those things may come but they would not be the cause, they would actually be the effect. So yes, I guess this is a legitimate use of the word “unprecedented.” 1.

put out more loving kindness, and reasonableness? In 1914 during World War I, the Americans, French and Germans, put aside their war for a short time to meet on the battlefield to celebrate Christmas, exchanging gifts, food and stories. This was a world war, and yet they found common ground. After a heavily contested boxing match or UFC bout, the fighters do their best to win, but when the fight is over, they meet in the middle and hug or acknowledge the other out of respect. It happens in other sports too. When the game is over, regardless of who won or lost, you can see players who just spent 60 minutes in battle, kneeling in prayer, or talking to each other and smiling. Maybe they played in college or met while they were on the same team at some point. But once the battle is over, they come together in such a great way. How about you? Are you greeting and treating people with kindness and respect? Are you sharing your smile with someone who doesn’t have

one? I would love to hear you story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we find a way to come together to create a better world, it really will a better than good life.

see what happens. The boy did as instructed, and the voice was heard echoing in return, “I love you, I love you, I love you.” We really do get back what we give out. Even a smile. Keeping with my Zig Ziglar theme, Zig would always encourage people by saying, “If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.” We are at odds with one another in so many ways and places. And if we are in a state of fear, worry and doubt about what is happening locally or globally, we could all probably benefit by remembering that people will respond or react to what we do and what we say. If we say good morning at 5:00 at night, they may respond by saying good morning back. We must remember that what we are yelling from the mountaintop or by email, text, or social media, that we will also get back what we put out. So why not

LETTERS FROM PAGE 14

Column went overboard Kudos to your columnist for using the terms “Americans with uteruses” and “pregnant person” in a column appearing on July 7. Too often we regress to those dark days before 2021, by using the hurtful word “women.” However, your columnist erred in also referred to “my mother and grandmothers,” rather than the acceptable Newspeak terms “birthing person” and “grand-birthing persons.” As Orwell teaches, we cannot control the way people think unless we first change the language, and to do that we must be consistent. The column also correctly notes that our Constitution was written by “all white wealthy men.” Marx taught us that we cannot move forward unless victim classes are created and class warfare is stoked. And isn’t it time we judge the value of something by the race, sex and

economic status of its authors, rather than by its truth or virtue? A particularly valuable insight is that “Americans with uteruses have fewer rights than a firearm.” Of course, inanimate objects have no rights. For instance, my Smith & Wesson has no right to be baptized as a Presbyterian. It is only important that the phrase has a nice ring to it and serves the chosen narrative. The same is true for the column’s assertion that a majority of the Supreme Court wants to go back to the days when “Black persons were legally allowed to be enslaved.” Never mind that this majority includes a justice who is himself Black. The phrase nonetheless serves its purpose by inflaming emotions, at least among those who do not think for a nanosecond about its absurdity. Finally, the column is to be applauded for pointing out that unlike many other states, in Colorado “we are lucky to still have protected voting rights.” This is to be contrasted SEE LETTERS, P29

2 Denver area female aviators share their stories of earning their wings BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

N I G T A T E H F E E D OD

tephanie Wells and Donna Mills grew up during a time when women could not be pilots, but the two Denver women did not give up on their dreams and eventually earned their wings. Miller, a first officer, flies the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for American Airlines, and Wells is retired after an illustrious career that included flying for NASA and working for the Federal Aviation Administration.

Defying gender barriers Miller grew up in Golden. Her father was a Colorado School of Mines professor and an aviator. “He was a back seater in the F-4 in the Navy and went to top gun,” Miller said. “He was my inspiration growing up.” Miller attended Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, which had an aviation program but only for men. So, she majored in business administration, economics and international management. She spent her last semester of college overseas and was accepted to the American College in Paris. She ended up living abroad for eight years. Miller moved to South Korea for two years and worked as an Air Force civilian, where she got her pilot’s license in 1988 at age 27. She then moved to Frankfurt, Germany, where she took a job as an administrative assistant for a computer company from 1989 to 1990, when the Berlin Wall fell. “I was 27 and considered military, but the age cutoff was 27 and a half, and at that time, the military didn’t need pilots,” Miller said. Miller returned to Denver in late 1990 and started working at Jeppesen, coding the database for airline onboard computers. While there, Miller met Capt. Elrey B. Jeppesen, after whom the Jeppesen Terminal at Denver International Airport was named.

She said Orville Wright signed Jeppesen’s pilot’s license, and he gave her a piece of fabric from the Wright brothers’ first aircraft. “I helped Jeppesen catalog all of his memorabilia, which is in a display case at Denver International Airport,” Miller said. Miller left Jeppesen to work for the United Airlines Training Center in 1995. It was another desk job, but it put her in right place at the right time. While Miller was working at the training center, Capt.Ted Stiles, who was on United’s hiring committee, came into her office. “He said, ‘Donna, you can’t steal second with your foot on first,’” Miller said. “I said, ‘excuse me.’ He said, ‘if you ever wanted to be a pilot, you have to leave your cushy little desk job and go out and fly — get the experience you need and then you can return to the airlines.” Miller started a file called “stealing second” that day and contacted every single flight operator she knew. “I probably didn’t even have 500 hours at the time, which is really low time, but I had all of my ratings,” she said. Miller got her first pilot’s job in 1998 flying car parts to Mexico from El Paso, Texas. “It was low paying,” she said. “We loaded and unloaded our own airplanes. It was tough duty.” She also flew skydivers without pay, but she could jump for free. In 1999, she was hired as a first officer and a captain with Air Midwest. She flew regional turboprop jets out of Florida for over two years. She applied at United, Delta and American, and finally, in June 2001, she was hired by American. Miller logged her first passenger flight to Chicago on Sept. 10, 2001, the day before 9/11, and on Oct. 1, she was furloughed. During the furlough, which ultimately lasted 11 years, Miller found other flying jobs, which were low paying but helped her stay current and qualified. In 2013, Miller resumed flights with American Airlines based in Chicago. She lives in Denver but commutes elsewhere to fly the 787 Dreamliner. She also runs marathons and so far has completed 32. Airline pilots have to retire at age 65; Miller is 61. “I’m not sure yet where I want to retire — maybe Portugal and spend more time SEE WINGS, P17

in Europe,” Miller said. “But I want to keep my hands in aviation because I love flying. It will always be a part of my life.” A life-long passion Wells was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and grew up in Washington, D.C. She took her first flight at age 15 and immediately fell in love with aviation. “I was picked up and carried away by it, but I couldn’t afford it,” Wells said. “It was just so far out of reach; it might have been impossible.” Wells graduated with a bachelor of science degree in meteorology from Iowa State University in 1975, and while in college, she started working toward obtaining her private pilot’s license. After graduation, she joined the Air Force, and her first assignment was as a weather forecaster. “It was very cool to work as a forecaster, but my dream was always to be a pilot,” Wells said. She said the Air Force announced it would start training women as pilots within a year of her joining. “So, I was in the right place at the right time,” Wells said. Wells began pilot training in 1978 and, after graduation, was assigned as an instructor pilot for the Cessna T-37 trainer. She later served as an instructor for the WC-130 “typhoon chaser” aircraft and the supersonic T-38 Talon. She got the opportunity to train her peers to pilot these planes but becoming a fighter pilot was still out of reach for women at that time. “I couldn’t get it, but that was OK,” Wells said. “I was so happy just to be the pilot for the Air Force.” Wells was on active duty for the Air Force from 1975 to 1985 and then transferred from active duty to the Air Force Reserves. “I flew more than 10 years

in San Antonio, flying the C-5 galaxy military transport,” Wells said. As a part-time reservist, she could pursue a civilian career, and her dream job was to fly for NASA. In 1986, she was hired by NASA, and her first assignment was as a zero-gravity test director. She eventually advanced to piloting the KC-135 Stratotanker Zero-G, “vomit comet,” aircraft. She also served as chief of training and aviation safety officer at NASA, and she earned her master’s of science degree in aeronautical science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University by attending classes in the evenings. “I was also pilot on a couple of other airplanes, including the administrative airplane Gulfstream 1 to transport the bosses, and then, I got to fly the Gulfstream 2, which is a special simulator to train the astronauts,” Wells said. Wells said there were about 20 staff pilots and approximately 140 astronauts at NASA. The pilots’ mission was mainly to support the manned space program and to help train astronauts. Wells decided she wanted to be close to her family in Colorado, so she left NASA and went to work for the Federal Aviation Administration in 2003 as a safety inspector at the Denver Flight Standards Office at Denver International Airport. “I was an instructor pilot for the FAA, and I also had many (other) tasks, including overseeing air charter companies, flight schools, agriculture operators, external load helicopters, monitoring air shows, doing accident investigation,” Wells said. Wells retired from the FAA in 2010 and was off to her next adventure, flying parttime for Mountain Aviation in Broomfield and instructing pilots on the King Air. She also worked for Rocky Mountain Aerial surveys flying the Cessna 206 doing surveys with a LIDAR camera that produces 3-D mapping.

Donna Miller is a first officer with American Airlines and is pictured in the COURTESY PHOTO cockpit of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

“They had special instruments mapping the folds and valleys of the terrain in extreme detail,” Wells said. “It’s used for different things — mapping a golf course or

building a road through a canyon.” She is now a volunteer pilot for Light Hawk and also enjoys skiing, hiking and international travel.

All Colorado Art Show returns to Curtis BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Don’t sweat it — there’s plenty of summer left

e’re smack dab in the middle of the dog days of summer, so I thought it was time to take another peak at the COMING range of events ATTRACTIONS available to stay cool, literally or metaphorically. Check out the range of summer options below:

Northglenn launches first public art exhibit Northglenn Clarke Reader Arts unveiled the installation of the Creative Inspirations gallery exhibit, the city’s inaugural public art exhibit. Northglenn partnered with Chicano Humanities & Arts Council (CHAC), an inclusive community of all creatives that are dedicated to preserving, showcasing, educating, and reflecting the essence of Chicana/o/x, Latina/o/x and other multicultural/multiracial communities. According to provided information, the exhibit explores what inspires artists to create. Participating artists include Dolly De Leon, Tony Ankele, Loretta Galla, Fred Jurado, James Pyott, Shantel Lucero, Rebecca Romero and Georgia Mucilli. The free exhibit can be viewed during regular box office hours

and when the Parsons Theatre is open for evening shows and events through Sept. 23. The gallery is located inside the Northglenn Recreation Center, 1 E. Memorial Parkway. Learn more at https://northglennarts.org/. It’s all happening at Sunset Cinema Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous” is one of the most rewatchable films of this century - the kind of story that never fails to delight, no matter how familiar you are with it. And it’s getting a special screening as part of Denver Film and Denver Arts & Venue’s free Sunset Cinema series. The screening will be held at the Galleria at the Denver Performing Arts Complex, 1400 Curtis St. in Denver, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 26. DazzleJazz is curating the pre-show entertainment and Ryan Dykstra Records will be on site with a mobile record shop. If you somehow haven’t seen “Almost Famous,” the semi-autobiographical film tells the story of William Miller, an aspiring rock journalist who gets hired by Rolling Stone magazine to write a piece about up-and-coming band Stillwater. It’s as much a story about growing up as it is an ode to the world of classic rock. More information can be found at www.artscomplex.com/events/ summer-at-the-arts-complex.

She is active in the Denver arts community and focuses on making connections between artists and collectors, as well as having an ongoing involvement with Colorado’s arts organizations and galleries. Garon awarded the first place / juror’s choice award to Denver artist Sharon Brown’s charming portrait of an older couple, “The Joneses,” dressed up, smiling happily and holding hands, they stand in front of a hedge of pink roses on a sunny day. One thinks perhaps they have just attended a service at their favorite church and cheerfully look forward to a family dinner nearby. Brown states: “I grew up with a number of artists in my family so it was natural for me to draw

Environmental group sues over state’s air quality Center for Biological Diversity argues Colorado can do more BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The Environmental Protection Agency unlawfully approved a weak ozone-reduction plan from Colorado regulators, and should do far more to limit oil and gas drilling and other pollution in the Denver metro area, according to a new lawsuit filed July 12 by the Center for Biological Diversity. The lawsuit demanding the EPA reject Colorado’s state implementation plan notes Denver and the counties in the north Front Range nonattainment area for ozone are violating EPA standards at a record pace in recent summers. (State air quality officials issued an ozone action alert again July 12 afternoon warning of potentially irritating amounts, in effect through July 13.) The state’s plan is ineffective and has loopholes that allow for smaller sources of ozone-causing pollution, like individual drilling and fracking operations, to move forward even as ozone gets worse, the lawsuit said. “We’re never going to solve our smog problem until the EPA cracks down on Colorado allowing unlimited air pollution from drilling and fracking,” said Robert Ukeiley, a senior attorney at the center. “If it

takes a lawsuit to bring about that fix, that’s what we are going to do.” Ground-level ozone, caused by a mixture of volatile organic compounds, wildfire smoke, vehicle pollution and increasingly hot and sunny summer days, causes asthma and other respiratory and heart problems in adults and children. “Every additional day of delay in reducing smog puts more children and families at risk for potentially deadly diseases,” Ukeiley said, in a release accompanying the lawsuit filing. The EPA said it will not comment on pending litigation. In a Federal Register notice included in the lawsuit, the EPA in May approved Colorado’s state implementation plan and said the Clean Air Act did not give the EPA powers that the Center for Biological Diversity asked it to exercise. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association slapped back at the suit Tuesday. “As Colorado families struggle to pay to fuel their vehicles and afford their rising utility bills, this latest lawsuit from environmental activists shows just how extreme and out of touch they are with Coloradans. The majority of emissions within our region come from natural biogenic matter or they blow in from outside of Colorado,” trade association President Dan Haley said. “While Colorado’s oil and natural gas workers have cut our emissions in half, these environmental groups will continue to celebrate higher en-

ergy costs for Americans and push our energy dependence overseas.” In 2021, 12 monitoring sites on the Front Range recorded a three-year average over the EPA’s most recent cap of 70 parts per billion for ozone, and five sites violated even the EPA’s previous looser standard of 75 ppb, according to annual reports by state and regional pollution officials last fall. The lawsuit targets the EPA for failing to require Colorado to account for ozone contributions by minor sources of pollutants, or from temporary sources. Colorado officials are now working on revisions to the implementation plan for more recent violations, after the EPA earlier this year declared “severe” ozone nonattainment in the north Front Range counties. The designation was a downgrade from “serious” nonattainment in previous years, and will now require

changes like switching to reformulated gasoline for metro area drivers. Other changes will include a broader number of air pollution sources falling under state permitting requirements. The state is also working on a separate set of clean air measures, including the 2022 legislature approving funding for a month-long free transit fare package to cut commuting this summer, replacing diesel school buses with electric models, and beefing up permitting and enforcement staff at the state air pollution division.

Colorado tourism businesses rebound in 2021 Recovery is uneven between mountains, Front Range BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado tourism industry is bouncing back from the pandemic, but the recovery is not evenly distributed across the state. Front Range urban destinations have yet to see traffic return to 2019 levels while Western Slope mountain communities are setting all-time records. The Colorado Tourism Office’s survey of 2021 visitors by research groups Longwoods International and Dean Runyan Associates shows visitor spending reaching $21.9 billion, a 42% increase over 2020 but still below the record $24.2 billion tourists spent in 2019. (The U.S. travel industry reported a 48% increase to $268 billion in 2021 compared with the previous year.) Colorado’s tourism businesses hosted 84.2 million trips in 2021, up 14% from 2020 but down from the high of 86.9 million trips in 2019. Leisure travel led the rebound in 2021 while business trips, convention groups and international travel remained down. Of the eight travel regions in Colorado, half have not recovered to 2019 levels. Spending by visitors in metro Denver and along the Front Range was down about 19% in 2021 compared with the pre-pandemic levels of 2019. Spending in Western Slope mountain destinations was up 9% in 2021 compared with 2019. Other details from the 2021 surveys include: Workers in the state’s tourism industry earned $7.4 billion in 2021, up 12% from 2020 but down 2% from 2019. • Travel industry employment increased by 14,800 jobs in 2021, with the state reporting 161,000 tourism-dependent jobs. That’s up 10% from 2020 but down from 184,100 jobs in 2019.

• 36.3 million U.S. travelers spent a night in Colorado in 2021, up 18% from 2020 but down from 39 million domestic overnight trips in 2019. About 81% of those 2021 overnight travelers were repeat visitors. • 1.8 million business travelers spent the night in Colorado in 2021, down from 2 million in 2020 and 3.8 million in 2019. • Taxes collected by the state, counties and municipalities on travel-related purchases reached $3.1 billion in 2021, up 40% from 2020 but down about 3% from 2019. The Colorado tourism industry’s recovery from a steep decline in 2020 saw sporadic surges of traffic in high country villages. The 202122 ski season ranked as the busiest ever for both Colorado and the nation, with U.S. resorts hosting more than 61 million visits and the most skied state in the country, Colorado, reporting a record 14 million visits. The record-setting traffic in the mountains has chafed locals as soaring real estate prices push them further from resort-anchored valleys, triggering a labor crisis. But the steady year-over-year increases from 2021 appear to be ebbing in 2022, with many resort communities reporting smaller crowds than last summer. A sustained slackening of bookings and occupancy already is underway this summer in Colorado’s high country. Inntopia’s DestiMetrics, which compiles lodging details from 17 mountain destinations in seven Western states, last month reported a decline in summer reservations compared to both 2021 and 2019. That slower pace for bookings began earlier this year as pent-up travel demand from the pandemic started to wane. “And though we’re still seeing room rates at all-time highs, the slackening demand is now longterm and increasing economic pressures are forcing consumers to retreat from high room rates,” Tom Foley with Inntopia said in a statement. “The result is that considerably fewer room nights have been booked for this summer compared to both last year and 2019, and it is unlikely that those higher rates

alleviate the revenue decrease caused by lower occupancy.” Tim Wolfe, the head of the Colorado Tourism Office, said his team is working to find “balance and harmony” with tourist-dependent economies and local concerns about growth and capacity. He’s focused on reviving international traffic that has collapsed since 2020. “The mountains may be saying we don’t need tourism anymore but that is kind of a yes-and-no type of thing because international travel has not rebounded yet and those folks spend five times the amount of other travelers,” Wolfe said. “That international component has not rebounded for the mountains and those travel patterns are better with full weeks instead of just full weekends that they’ve been getting.” The state tourism office has $4.8 million in tourism grants from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to disperse to rebuild the state’s pandemic-ravaged tourism industry. About $2.8 million of that is headed toward marketing for international visitors and $2 million will be dispersed to local destination management and tourism groups in areas that have not yet rebounded from the pandemic. Rebuilding international tourism to the state is among the office’s top priorities. In 2019, visitors from overseas spent $1.7 billion in Colorado, accounting for more than 8% of all visitor spending in the state. That spending dropped to $306 million in 2020 and $385 million in 2021 as COVID restrictions limited international traffic. Tourism promoters are facing headwinds in Colorado’s busy mountain communities. Recordsetting crowds in the last two years — largely stemming from pent-up demand for travel during the pandemic and the view that Colorado’s outdoor spaces were safe escapes — have worn on towns struggling through a labor shortage and housing crisis. A new law passed by Colorado lawmakers this spring will give residents of 29 marketing districts — most on the Western Slope — the ability to redirect lodging tax dollars from tourism promotion toward affordable housing and recreational infrastructure. The bipartisan House Bill 1117 — which Gov. Jared Polis signed into law in April — allows voters in 29 local marketing districts across the state to spend as much as 90% of lodging taxes collected for tourism promotion on affordable housing, child care for local workers and

“enhancing visitors experiences” with investment in recreational amenities like trails and trailheads. Already communities are preparing for a vote in November. Champions of tourism are now defending their industry in communities that thrive on travelers. Their arguments focus on the role of tourism officials in rural communities as managers more than marketers. “The Colorado Tourism Office along with our partners … are the only voice out there for those highvalue travelers. If you cut that voice off, then we can’t communicate to try to get those high quality travelers that really align with our Colorado values,” Wolfe said. The Colorado Tourism Office’s new “Shine A Little Brighter” and “Do Colorado Right” ad campaigns help educate visitors about leaving no trace and responsible travel in the state. A survey of the “Shine A Little Brighter” winter campaign by Strategic Marketing and Research Insights showed the 30-second online ads spurred 900,000 trips by visitors who spent $1.9 billion, the Colorado Tourism Office reports. That’s a return of $890 for every ad dollar spent, ranking the campaign among the top 10% tourism efforts in the country. The Colorado Tourism Office also is working on new technology that will connect the state’s 10 welcome centers with up-to-date information for travelers about reservations and closures. Say, for example, the National Park Service reservations for Rocky Mountain National Park or Glenwood Springs’ reservations for Hanging Lake are full, or CDOT has closed Glenwood Canyon during a rainstorm, those welcome centers could offer visitors alternative plans. “Managing tourism is an important part of what we do,” Wolfe said. “If we can direct traffic to those high-need areas and find those high-value travelers that align with our values, that’s part of the harmony we are seeking and it helps us take care of the environment in a way,” Wolfe said. “We want to take care of our assets and leave them in a better place than we found them.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

RTD offering zero-fare August across train, bus system ‘Zero Fare for Better Air’ focused on improving air quality during high ozone season BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

RTD is offering zero fares across its transit system to improve air quality and reduce traffic during Denver’s high ozone season. The “Zero Fare for Better Air” initiative will also be a good way for locals to save money and gas, RTD board member Marjorie Sloan said at a July 12 Golden City Council meeting. Sloan, who represents the Golden, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood areas on the RTD board, hoped locals will take advantage of the zerofare month. She said it’ll be ideal for commuting to and from work, going out with friends, traveling for date night and more; and several communities around Denver will be hosting events to promote it. RTD’s long-term goal is to increase ridership and usage across its system, and hosting a zero-fare month is a great way to incentivize people to use RTD, she said. “Zero Fare for Better Air” was made possible by the Colorado Senate Bill 22-180, in partnership with the Colorado Energy Office, according to the RTD website. August is Colorado’s high ozone season, so stakeholders want to reduce ground level ozone by increasing use of public transit. With gas still hovering between $4-$5 a gallon, Sloan and her RTD colleagues feel August will be the perfect time to increase public transportation use.

Cranelli’s establishes family dinner feel Lone Tree restaurant is labor of love for couple BY MADDIE BROWNING SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Not many business owners carry bags of homemade garlic knots to local businesses, treat their workers and customers like family, and spread love and positivity from table to table — besides Lasinda and Jimmy Crane, owners of Cranelli’s on Park Meadows Drive. Their story began 27 years ago on a blind date set up by their best friends. Since then, they have worked in the restaurant industry both together and apart to pave the way for Cranelli’s. Twenty years ago, their friends asked them to help open an Italian restaurant named after Jimmy called Jimmy C’s Pizza and Pasta in Lakewood. Lasinda and Jimmy developed the menu, later influencing Cranelli’s half and full portion choices. They also hosted a “marinara party” at the restaurant where they tasted nine of Jimmy’s different marinara sauces to determine the best one. The winner is still used today at Cranelli’s. Jimmy C’s expanded Lasinda’s and Jimmy’s skills from serving, managing and cooking to restaurant ownership. “We got to learn how you build a restaurant, how you get your guests in there, how you keep them in there, so many learning moments,” said Lasinda. Lasinda and Jimmy moved on to flipping an Indian restaurant in Castle Pines into a steakhouse about two years later. Lasinda said, “We came in, and the kids slept on the bar. We were immersed in it.” Jimmy’s Steakhouse, also named after Jimmy, flourished under Lasinda’s and Jimmy’s management. They hosted a fashion show and Christmas events in the restaurant, but eventually left when their job to flip the restaurant into a successful business was completed.

manager at Nordstrom eBar. After several years, Lasinda found Cranelli’s space on Craigslist and decided their chance to open their own restaurant was “now or never.” They took over the lease and began building the popular Italian restaurant, which opened in 2013. Lasinda said, “I knew this was our second home.” To grow their connection to the community, Lasinda passed out bags of garlic knots and attended business openings like Kaiser Permanente. She also became a board member of the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce to learn more about Lone Tree and give back. Lasinda runs the front of the house at the restaurant, making sure customers are satisfied and learning more about their lives, while Jimmy cooks in the back. “I love what I do. There’s not one day that I wish I wasn’t going to work,” said Lasinda. The restaurant has regulars who come in once a week, but also receives about 40% new customers every day. Lasinda said they have gathered this statistic through servers interacting with customers. She wants to establish a

community within the restaurant where everyone gets to know each other. “I tell my servers, ‘This is your house, and when people come to your house for a party, what do you do? You talk to them,’” said Lasinda. “‘You make sure your house is clean. You make sure your house is organized. You make sure that the food is fantastic.’” The hardest lesson Lasinda had to learn is that not everyone will love Cranelli’s. She said she tries to fix the experience for unhappy customers in the moment but isn’t always successful. “I can pick up on it. I can see when food is still left in the bowl. I can see when their demeanor is not happy, but sometimes people will not say a word,” said Lasinda. “Then they will go and leave the worst review.” Cranelli’s responds to every online review, good or bad, to acknowledge everyone’s experience. Lasinda said Cranelli’s will never be a trendy restaurant where the menu constantly changes. “What we are is consistent, great quality food. That chicken parmigiana you had 10 years ago is still the same

chicken parmigiana because that’s what you love,” said Lasinda. Jimmy grew up with the loyalty of mom-and-pop restaurants and established those ideals in Cranelli’s. “We make (our employees) feel like they’re a part of more than just a restaurant,” said Jimmy. The ultimate success of Cranelli’s rests in the strength of Lasinda’s and Jimmy’s partnership inside and outside of the restaurant. “I don’t want to be so cliche on this, but she’s my best friend,” said Jimmy. He said they are complete opposites — Lasinda loves to be out in the front being interviewed, while he prefers staying out of the spotlight. “If I see a camera to the left, I’ll go to the right, where Lasinda will say, ‘Ooh let’s see what’s going on over there,’” said Jimmy. Jimmy said he shares the same core values with Lasinda, and after living and working together for 20 years, they still enjoy each other’s company. “I think what’s been the best thing about all of it is we still love hanging out together,” said Lasinda. “We make it fun. We just both love this industry.”

988: A new number to call during a mental health crisis BY DANA KNOWLES ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

For 54 years, 911 has been the number for Americans to call for all emergencies. Starting July 16, people across the country, including Colorado, will be encouraged to call a different three-digit number for mental health emergencies — 988. “What we’ve learned and seen over the years is that having the training and support to be able to respond to calls for emotional stress and mental health or substance abuse, you need someone with that training,” said Kelly Bowman, the director of Colorado’s new crisis response line 988. The idea is to get people to call or text 988 instead of the police when they are experiencing emotional distress. “What’s really great is that the suicide hotline [1-844-493-8255] has always been a suicide prevention resource. 988 is intended to be a crisis support for any source of crisis that comes in, and it’s really embracing self-defined crisis,” Bowman added. She says self-defined crisis can be anything and everything from waking up and feeling mildly depressed or anxious to having suicidal thoughts. “Sometimes it’s hard to take that step and say you know what? It was a rough day and I just need to connect with someone, and that power of human connection

can make all the difference in the world and 988 is really about increasing that access and making it easy to remember,” Bowman said. Last year the state of Colorado passed legislation that would allow for a surcharge of 18 cents on cell phone bills to pay for 988, which will be overseen by the Colorado Department of Human Services. At any point during the day, there are 25-40 team members trained in everything from crisis intervention, suicide assessment and response; to substance use and crisis, grief, trauma and more. “There’s not a one size fits all solution for someone going through struggle and so that’s what’s great about how our counselors are trained,” Bowman explained. Children’s Hospital Colorado saw an alarming increase of emergency room visits for a mental health crisis over the past two years. Photo courtesy of Children’s Hospital Colorado. This change comes at a time when Colorado along with much of the country is facing a mental health crisis. Just among our youth, Children’s Hospital Colorado pediatric system reported last fall that emergency visits for a mental health crisis were up 73% over the same time period two years prior. Studies have also shown that Colorado has the highest rate of adult mental illness in the nation and one of

the lowest rates of access to care. A collaborative investigation among Colorado news organizations showed some of the state’s 17 community-based mental health providers have failed to provide treatment to the toughest and most expensive behavioral health cases while avoiding competition. To address this mental health crisis, this year Colorado lawmakers passed a bill to reform the delivery network for mental health care in the state. [Related: Bill for new behavioral health agency seeks sweeping safety-net reforms] Still legislative changes can take time to implement and this enactment of 988 has been years in the making. After the time and energy spent of activism, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, establishing 988 was signed into law in October 2020. Despite this incredible step forward, the system has room for improvement. For example, when someone calls 988 they’ll be connected to a counselor in the state where their phone’s area code is from; meaning that if you live in Denver but have a 310-area code attached to your phone, your call to 988 would go to California. Bowman hopes the Federal Communications Commission will step in and fix that. “While we work on whether or not we’ll get support from the FCC for geolocation to route calls to an in-state call center, we’re

going to work to build trust in our communities and be clear about the message behind 988, which is that no one is left behind and no one feels like they can’t call,” she said. Bowman also said regardless, people should still call 988 when it’s up and running later this month. “It’s important now more than ever. We’ve seen increased rates of suicides and deaths of despair with overdoses. We know our kids are struggling and so to be able to offer a resource and say, ‘It’s okay to not be okay’ and ‘I see you and I see you struggling and there’s someone here to talk to. You’re not alone.’ We don’t heal in isolation, and I think we can all come to an agreement that that’s a hard lesson we’ve learned over the last few years.” Resources: If you have an immediate mental health crisis, call Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255 or text TALK to 38255. Or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-2738255. You can also chat with the Lifeline.

Students figure out how to clean an oil spill using human (their own) hair Students MacGyver their way to national prize BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Xavier Cotton and Cristian Madrazo remember being kids watching video of petroleum spewing from Deepwater Horizon and poisoning the Gulf of Mexico. They also remember how ludicrous it seemed for Dawn to be running commercials about decontaminating baby otters with a few ounces of dish soap in the face of a 210-million-gallon oil spill. Surely there had to be something better to put up against an ocean of dislocated fossil fuel. Fast forward to engineering classes at Front Range Community College, with a challenge from a teacher to make their first-year project address a problem in the environment and sustainability. In between warehouse shifts at Amazon and other youthful demands, Cotton and Madrazo watched videos of oil spills on YouTube. Weeks of tinkering later, and with the help of a wading pool, some empty water bottles as flotation devices, and much of Cotton’s own hair, the team produced “Orca.” It’s a drone for oil spills. It sits at the edge of a plastic boom that surrounds and slowly reels in a floating spill and soaks up the petroleum through a hair filter. Orca works like the baleen bristles inside a whale’s mouth. (Don’t “actually” the young engineers about orcas being faux whales, because they’ve heard it. They stick to the Wiki explanation of an orca as “a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family,” and they know their marketing, as we are about to find out.) Orca won the Front Range Community College local engineering challenge, and their enthusiastic teachers urged them on to national competitions. So, they went. And in June, Cotton and Madrazo won second prize — with a cash chaser — at the National Science Foundation’s annual Community College

Innovation Challenge. The judges, who first grilled all the teams in a “Shark Tank”-style atmosphere, called Orca “a new method of cleaning oil spills that is both inexpensive and quick.” Not to mention, Cotton said, “the current solutions are just terrible. The main solutions are like burning, which releases fumes into the environment, and these chemical disbursers that stay in the ocean releasing toxins. There are petroleumbased sponges, which kind of suck up oil, and then the sponges just fall to the floor, and it’s just littering the oceans for different creatures and critters to eat. We had to make this.” Human hair absorbs five times its weight in oil. When Cotton’s ‘do wasn’t big enough for the job, they added in hair from his dog. They poured some motor oil in a Walmart wading pool, set their manhole-cover-size drone to work, and it sucked. In a good way. The prize is part consolation for the fact that Cotton’s hair hasn’t grown back yet. Personality in presentation Front Range Community College computer science instructor Diane Rhodes says the pair succeeded in part because they had a good idea, backed it with solid engineering and modeling work, and put in the time to overcome physical problems and fix broken parts. But their personalities also made a big impact, Rhodes said. Doing well at innovation competitions requires interaction, practice in public, and a bit of sales, Rhodes said. “They were very enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. They were able to articulate their problem in a concise way. And they were not shy,” Rhodes said. “They had fun. I like to have fun in my class. I take my class seriously, but don’t take myself so seriously,” and that’s what Cotton, 19, and Madrazo, 22, brought with Orca, she said. “And I never once had to tell them to put their phones down. Which I thought I was going to have to do. Because I do have to do that in my class. Regrettably,” she said. The two engineering students say

each presentation got better, with the help of Rhodes, other teachers, and the expert judges for the national competition at the Library of Congress. “I learned to give your audience just enough so that they understand it,” Cotton said. “And not so much what we care about, or what we think they should care about. Just let them guide the conversation.” Before one important presentation, Rhodes said, the boys came to her and said they’d been practicing a new technique. They had created a graphically fresh poster that everyone agreed was a killer view of their idea, and they wanted their pitch to sound like a scripted-but-casual conversation between Madrazo and Cotton. Rhodes was a bit queasy at what sounded very cheesy. “So they went and did it, and it was fantastic,” Rhodes said. “And I thought, this is a classic example of why you shouldn’t just say no right away before you see.” One judge in Washington, D.C., started talking enthusiastically about patent possibilities and commercialization. Rhodes agrees that Orca may very well prove a viable product in the future, but for now they plan to “park” the idea and focus on more schoolwork. Cotton is headed for a four-year degree at Colorado School of Mines, and Madra-

zo will be transferring his credits to the University of Colorado for work in architectural engineering.

(Front Range Community College) “They have a lot on their plate,” Rhodes said. Like all good engineers and entrepreneurs, the team crammed their heads with ideas from the other innovators in their competitions. Madrazo admired an idea for HIV medication from a Santa Monica college, deep into a kind of biological engineering that was very different from the mechanical engineering featured in other products. Cotton was most enthused about a recycling bin that automatically scans materials dropped in and sorts or rejects objects that need to go elsewhere. “They did a really good job,” Cotton said. “I’m proud to have come in second place to them.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Pepsi to build its largest U.S. plant in Denver City offers $1 million in incentives to maker of soft drinks BY SARAH MULHOLLAND COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

PepsiCo has chosen Denver as the place where it will build what will be its largest U.S. plant. Colorado beat out three other states to become the site of the mammoth facility, Pepsi said in a statement on July 13. The company acquired roughly 152 acres of land near Denver International Airport for the planned 1.2 million-squarefoot manufacturing facility, which is set to open next year. “We’re thrilled to call Denver, a city that shares so many of our values, home to PepsiCo’s most sustainable U.S. plant location,” said Johannes Evenblij, PepsiCo Beverages president of North America’s West Division, in the statement. In March, Denver City Council approved $1 million in incentives for Pepsi’s project. As Pepsi builds the facility and adds new jobs, the city will pay the company cash in installments. The city expects to make the payments over a multi-year period until the site is completed. As part of the deal, Pepsi will move its longtime operation on Brighton Boulevard in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood to the new facility. The company says all 250

employees at the existing facility will be moved to the new site, and that they will create an additional 250 jobs — with an average wage of $65,000 — on top of that. Denver officials estimate the project could bring $6 million in additional revenue to the city’s general fund over a five-year period and $11 million over a 10-year period. Denver Councilwoman Candi

CdeBaca, the only council member to vote against the deal, contends the new facility is primarily a good deal for Pepsi. “This was a good deal for a multinational corporation who needed a newer, larger space and got a city to relocate and essentially build a community around their needs,” CdeBaca said in a text message. “Denverites should be concerned about

clinics that are not following the new rules. After the outcry from providers, the regional agencies backtracked on the July 1 implementation date. One of them, Colorado Access, said in an email to The Sun that the policy change is not in effect and that “any changes to our current program will include additional input and advance notice.” The discord is the latest in a long list of frustrations among mental health professionals who say they want to provide therapy for people on Medicaid but are fed up dealing with burdensome rules, redundant paperwork and even threats of having payments revoked. It comes as Colorado is facing unprecedented need for services, due in part to the isolation and stress of the coronavirus pandemic. Rose said he typically signs off on 100 to 200 notes per week for his team of pre-licensed staff at Boulder Emotional Wellness. The clinic employs 38 pre-licensed counselors and plans to bump that number to 42 next month. The rule changes will make this a challenge, since it’s already difficult to find licensed counselors willing to take on the liability of supervising pre-licensed therapists, he said. Rose and others said they found out about the policy in a July 5 newsletter from one of the regional agencies that also laid out other policies that went into effect July 1. “The larger concern here is really, who sets policy and who gets to have a say in that process?” he

said. “It’s hard enough right now to keep providers. We just need some relief from this. We need to be included in decisions about who we can hire.” The need for mental health counseling is so high right now that appointments with licensed counselors are “filled in a hot second,” said Dr. Lisa Griffiths, director of the Center for Valued Living in Aurora. Many clients rely on appointments with pre-licensed counselors under the supervision of licensed counselors. One of Griffiths’ seven supervisors has a doctoral degree but has not yet had her license for two years, meaning she could no longer supervise other counselors under the new rules. Mental health providers have been meeting regularly with the Medicaid department to smooth out their relationship after a series of issues, including rate cuts and processing problems that resulted in a regional agency trying to take back money from clinics that had already been paid for seeing Medicaid clients. In the past few months, providers and the department have collaborated on new policies for marriage therapists and treating patients with gender dysphoria. The latest policy changes, however, came out of nowhere, Griffiths said. “The providers felt blindsided,” she said.
