Primary changes political landscape Voter participation went up sharply compared with previous caucus turnouts

along the sidewalk on the north side of Colfax. It will consist of 20 haikus accompanied by a repeating pattern of three bluebirds flying east. The color scheme will be blue, white and black.

Haiku submissions will be accepted until March 21. Anybody in the community is welcome to submit a haiku, but all submissions should describe, illustrate, characterize and/ or portray the essence or history of the Bluebird District.

Four years ago, after the Colorado caucus system meant that millions of voters could not take part in presidential primaries, a coalition of political centrists put forward a new idea: Let the more than 1 million unaffiliated voters help pick the party nominees for the White House and make it a primary to boost turnout within the Democratic and Republican ranks.

The two major political parties objected. The state’s top lawmakers even rewrote the official voter guide to make it less appealing and deleted a line saying it would increase voter turnout. It didn’t matter. Proposition 107 won voter approval by a wide margin in 2016.

On March 3, Colorado held a presidential primary for the first time in two decades, and the inaugural one with mail ballots and unaffiliated voters. In the end, it increased voter turnout — a lot.

The preliminary election results show that nearly 1.8 million people — a 46% turnout — voted in Colorado.

Haikus are just fun.

Even more so because “anyone can write them,” said Camille Davis, 17.

Now a junior at East High School, Davis has been writing haikus since

the fifth grade.

And as a solution to garner more interest in public art and engage youth in their community, Davis teamed up with her father Greg to implement Bluebird Haiku — a large public art piece along Colfax Avenue beginning near East High School and ending near the Bluebird Theater.

“It’s really exciting, having been conceptualizing this project for so long,” Camille Davis said, “and now seeing it come to life.”

The Bluebird Haiku public art piece will stretch roughly 400 feet

Rezone for CHUN’s ‘historical treasure’ mansion underway Cheesman Park area could see cafe at historic site

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It has been a long journey for the Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods organization to figure out what to do with what it refers to as its historical treasure — the Tears-McFarlane mansion.

Now, “with the right players in place,” said CHUN’s board president Travis Leiker, “it has got so much potential.”

The Tears-McFarlane mansion, 1290 Williams St., is a CHUN-owned property just north of Cheesman Park.

The Colonial Revival style mansion was built in 1899 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976.

The mansion was gifted to CHUN in 2005, and the organization took full ownership of it in 2015. A year later, CHUN faced financial challenges and selling the mansion was brought up as a relief to the struggles.

However, in the summer of 2016, CHUN’s board of directors voted to keep the mansion. The main reason being that the voting bodies felt it was — and is — a community asset.

“There are a lot of people, who have nothing to do with (CHUN’s) board, who really feel a sense of ownership

Travis Leiker, president of Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods’ board, describes the site plan for a proposed rezone at the TearsMcFarlane mansion, 1290 Williams St. CHRISTY STEADMAN of this building,” said CHUN board member Megan Whelan. She pointed

to the people who have enjoyed CHUN’s past educational and community-oriented programs that have taken place at the mansion. “If CHUN had sold this building, that’s over. It’d be a private building that’s not a community resource.”

To continue providing the mansion and its annex building as a community resource, CHUN realized a source of revenue would be required and a rezone of the property would be needed to accomplish that.

Currently zoned for high-density residential uses, CHUN wanted to scale that back, Leiker said.

MANSION

The TearsMcFarlane mansion’s annex building is proposed to become a small café at the property located at 1290 Williams St., just north of Cheesman Park.

there, leasing office space to small businesses and nonprofits, and the mansion will continue to be available for small public events and meetings, as well as CHUN programming.

Though the mansion is in need of some costly renovations, the major change will be to the hall, which was built by the city of Denver in the early 1980s to serve as an event center.

Unlike the mansion, it does not have historic designation.

It wasn’t well-constructed in the first place, Leiker said, and is currently in poor condition.

“If we are able to salvage portions of the current building, we will. But we don’t think (that) will be the case,” Leiker said. “In all likelihood, it will be torn down and replaced with a new structure.”

However, a new structure wouldn’t drastically change the footprint of what’s already there, Leiker said. And it will be much more “visually pleasing from multiple vantage points,” Leiker added. Any rebuild will be done within the property lines — meaning the patio would no longer encroach onto the city’s Cheesman Park property as it does now. The proposed revitalization also includes grounds work and an overall improved public space.

Proposed new development plans include opening a small café with a full coffee shop. The café will serve

CHRISTY STEADMAN

breakfast snacks and juices; grab-andgo salads, fresh deli sandwiches and desserts; and beer and wine.

Partnering 50-50 with CHUN on the proposed project is City Street Investors LLC, a Denver-based real estate investment company. CHUN will sell 50% of the property equity to City Street, and retain a 50% interest.

Proceeds of the sale will go toward an endowment for CHUN services.

City Street will finance the revitalization costs, which as of February was estimated at north of $3 million for the project, said Pat McHenry, principal with City Street. That includes about $250,000 of deferred maintenance projects and about $1.5 million for renovations.

Although the application is underway in the rezone process with the city, it could still be several months before the city makes any decisions.

Bruce O’Donnell, who is serving as CHUN’s rezoning consultant, added the city will entertain two public hearings on the rezone application.

The first will be in front of the Denver Planning Board, which will make a

recommendation to city council on the rezone application. The second public hearing will be in front of Denver’s city council, which will make the deciding vote on the rezone application.

It’s likely both public hearings are still six to eight months in the future, O’Donnell said.

CHUN and City Street Investors say sufficient public outreach was done prior to proposing any plans for the rezone application. Between 2017 and 2019, focus group meetings took place and park-users were surveyed.

Still, some neighbors — people representing the nearby condominium communities of Park Towers, Highgate and One Cheesman Place, all within a couple blocks of the TearsMcFarlane mansion and Cheesman Park — feel the project plans for the rezone request were not properly communicated.

“We had to reach out to CHUN to find out what they were doing. We were kept in the dark,” said Jay Rust, a resident of Park Towers. “People in our building were surprised to hear about these plans. And they were not

in support.”

A prime concern is the commercialization of Cheesman Park.

With commercialization comes additional noise, the neighbors said, specifically from beeping delivery and garbage trucks that will have to service a café more frequently than any of the current uses at the mansion.

They also voiced concerns about odor — industrial venting and possibly food trucks — and parking in an area where it’s already limited. CHUN, however, expects the café won’t be a destination spot for people across the city, but rather an amenity for Cheesman Park visitors and the immediate neighborhood, who may largely visit it on foot or bike.

The neighbors’ concerns are in addition to their argument that the neighborhood is already well-served with other nearby bar and restaurant establishments.

It may be a great way for CHUN to generate revenue, said Robert Fox, Highgate condos’ manager. “But we just don’t think it’s suitable for this area.”

Along with that, the neighbors question the viability of the proposed café’s revenue stream.

“CHUN’s expertise is in community relations. A commercial enterprise has come in, and made promises to them to form a joint venture, 50/50,” said Tim Haddon, president of One Cheesman Place’s HOA. “From the information we’ve been given, it doesn’t appear that it’s viable. (And) until we can see the numbers and they can prove it to us, I just don’t see it.”

State now has ability to test for COVID-19 Quick turnaround expected from facility set up by CDPHE STAFF REPORT

The State Laboratory at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment can now test for COVID-19 — the technical name for novel coronavirus. Testing had previously been done only by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to a news release.

The test will be used for people who meet the criteria for COVID-19 testing only; it is not available to the general public.

With staffing and equipment resources, the state lab has the capacity to test up to 160 samples per day, assuming test kits from the CDC are continuously available. Turnaround time for results is expected to be within 24 hours of specimen receipt at the state laboratory.

“Being able to confirm or rule out cases of COVID-19 at the state level allows us to be more nimble in responding to and controlling this disease if it occurs in Colorado,” State Laboratory Director Scott Bookman said in the news release. “The time frame for testing cases should be quicker than ever.”

A life dedicated to academics and literature University of Denver to host literary conference in honor of former professor John Williams and his novel ‘Stoner’

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In his book, “Stoner,” the late John Williams takes a mundane story and turns it into a remarkable tale about one man’s life.

The latter, said Sally Stich, who is coordinating an upcoming literary conference about Williams, is “because of his style of writing.”

Being offered as a University of Denver Enrichment Program, the conference is called The Undeniable Genius of John Williams: “Stoner” and the Man Who Wrote the Perfect Novel. It takes place on March 28 and will offer a day of sessions focused on Williams’ “Stoner,” as well as his career as both an author and a professor at DU.

“That’s what his focus really was in life — his academics and his writing,” said Jonathan Williams of Thornton, one of the author’s three children.

He plans on attending the event and added that his father is “welldeserving” of a literary event in his honor.

Williams was born in Texas in 1922 and grew up poor. He eventually came to Colorado to study at DU, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1949 and a Master of Arts degree in 1950.

Williams became a professor at DU by the mid-1950s — a position he held for more than 30 years — and is known for helping to develop, and eventually direct, the creative writing program in the university’s English department.

But as serious as he was about academics, Williams was just as serious about his writing, said Alan Prendergast, senior contributor at the Westword, who wrote a biographical article on Williams about 10 years ago. Prendergast will be delivering a keynote address at the conference.

Williams had two volumes of poetry and four novels published.

Despite his 1973 “Augustus” winning a National Book Award that year, “‘Stoner’ is the one that amazes people the most,” Prendergast said.

“Stoner” was published in 1965.

It is a fictional story about a man named William Stoner, who was born near the end of the nineteenth century and grew up poor on a farm in Missouri. He learned of famous authors by visiting the library, and when he was sent to study agriculture at the University of Missouri, he discovers a further love for literature and eventually becomes a professor at the university. The prose tells of Stoner’s life as a scholar, the tribulations and disappointments he faces and his confrontation of solitude.

“Stoner” has a universal message, Prendergast said, in that “it is about life. It describes the consolation of loving literature when life is bleak.”

Though people found Williams’ work fascinating, it was underappreciated, Prendergast said. But “so much of that has changed since then,” he added.

“Stoner” went out of print in 1966.

It was rediscovered in the 1980s, but still went largely unnoticed even after Williams’ death in 1994, Stich said.

It wasn’t until the early 2000s when a French author read “Stoner” and urged her publisher to buy the international rights to it, Stich said. And by the 2010s, it began to catch on in the U.S. and gained popularity largely through “wordof-mouth” and literary reviews, Stitch said.

The literary conference at DU is coinciding with the 55th anniversary of “Stoner” being published.

The conference isn’t “just to celebrate someone who taught at DU,” said Stich, a DU alumna. “There is something greater than Denver in John Williams. (But) there is a logical connection to one of our own who has never had a literary conference devoted to him.”

BLUEBIRD FROM PAGE 1

The Bluebird Business Improvement District consists of nine blocks along Colfax Avenue between Colorado Boulevard and St. Paul Street.

Though that stretch of Colfax has a rich history dating back to at least the mid-1800s, the Bluebird Business Improvement District formed as a taxing district in 2013, said Anne Kuechenmeister, the BID’s executive director.

Results of a 2016 survey revealed that “being a pedestrian on Colfax was a top concern,” Kuechenmeister said.

And since, the district has been working toward implementing a variety of projects that will improve the pedestrian experience.

The Bluebird Haiku project is just one of them, Kuechenmeister said.

Though it’s a significant one, she added, in the sense that the public art will form a connection between East High School students, residents, businesses and visitors.

“I’m hoping to see all the different ways people have connected with the Bluebird District through the years,” Kuechenmeister said. Plus, she added, “a haiku is just the right amount of reading if you’re walking.”

Bluebird Haiku is being funded in part by a Denver Arts & Venues grant called P.S. You Are Here. The Bluebird Business Improvement District sponsored the father-and-daughter team for the grant.

A team of East High Schoolers will

Greg and Camille Davis walk along Colfax Avenue where the father-and-daughter team’s large public art piece, called Bluebird Haiku, will be installed later this summer.

Greg and Camille Davis are working with Denver-based Like Minded Productions for the largesized laser stencils to be used for the project. East High School students will also be doing the painting, which Greg Davis estimates will take place late August.

“There’s so much talent and artistic ability in high schoolers,” Greg Davis said. “Hopefully by them being involved, it will show them how accessible public art can be.”

No Monthly Payment, Get Cash & Pay Off Your Mortgage

by Kathy Muni

eing retired should be some of the best years of your life. Yet, so many on a fixed monthly income find themselves struggling to make ends meet and having to choose between paying their mortgage, paying monthly bills or buying groceries. If you find yourself in a similar situation, a reverse mortgage from Silver Leaf Mortgage may be the answer you have been seeking.

With a reverse mortgage, you receive a government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage and thereby eliminate your monthly mortgage payment to get the breathing-room you need to live. Taxes and homeowners insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.”

You have paid into your home for

many years and have accumulated housing wealth that would otherwise only be accessible if you sold your home. With a reverse mortgage you can tap into the wealth in your home while you continue to own and live in the home and make life a little easier.

Call me to find out if a reverse mortgage is right for you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options and get accurate facts.

Art becomes something people can really get into

Paintings, typically but not always, are considered art, and they are achieved with QUIET oil paint, acrylic paint or waterDESPERATION color on a variety of rectangular and square substrates that include canvas, paper and even cave walls.

Paintings can depict a number of things: the human figure, landscapes, Craig Marshall animals or, in the case of abstract Smith expression, nothing at all.

mersion art is similar to entering a fun house at a cheap carnival where things seem to fall off the walls, endanger viewers and provide almost hallucinogenic images.

It’s happening and, most importantly, it’s cool.

Conventional art museum attendance — except for blockbuster exhibitions featuring the work of art history’s Hall of Fame — is in decline, and if the museums don’t convert to immersion spaces, they will be deceased in the water.

New museums, specifically designed for immersion-type products, are sprouting all over the country and all over the world. Likewise: galleries and other venues where art is exhibited.

Think of yourself as Alice Liddell and you’ve just fallen down a rabbit hole. Or going on a date with Salvador Dali.

As many of you know, I am a trained painter. I am retrofitting my entire inventory of paintings with mechanisms that will enable them to spin, move up and down and

sideways, and emit sounds such as the roar of a lion and the bray of a donkey.

The art world is a step behind the music industry, where visual contrivances, such as pyrotechnics, countless back-up dancers, and innumerable costume changes replaced valid content years ago.

If your son or daughter is thinking about art school, make sure you don’t encourage them to major in painting, unless the school reassures you the painting classes will discourage static wall art, and encourage paintings you can touch, hear, smell and even taste.

And another thing: Get used to the word “holistic,” whether you want to or not.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for old-fashioned oil paintings to become a thing of the past.

In other words: Don’t just look at a work of art. Become a part of it.

‘Once upon a time’ is right now, in our hands

e are all familiar with the start of a story that begins with, “Once upon a time.” What if that time is right now? What if years from now someone tells our story based on what they know about us, what they have observed in us, and what they have experienced through us?

WINNING They may just begin WORDS with, “Once upon a time,” and then fill in the rest of our story based on what they remember about us.

Here’s the thing, those stories that are told in the future will be based on what we are doMichael Norton ing right now, today, and in all the tomorrows of our lives. The good news is that we get to control that narrative, don’t we?

And we control that narrative based on our behaviors, our contributions, the words we use, how we respond

paintings that are thought to be 17,000 years old.

Artists such as Durer, Rembrandt, da Vinci, Monet, Picasso and Pollock have inspired art students and audiences, and their sublime efforts have filled art museums around the world, including our own Denver Art Museum, the Kirkland Museum and the Museum of Outdoor Arts.

While some artists, particularly the once-a-week variety that is fascinated by fruit and landscapes, will continue to paint on squares and rectangles, their numbers will dwindle to next to nothing.

This will have a major impact on future art exhibitions, on art schools, on art museums and on vendors — especially those who currently manufacture pre-made canvases.

One day, finding a canvas to paint on will be as difficult as finding a typewriter ribbon is now.

None of this means the end of art. There’s simply a new kid on the block.

It’s called “immersion art.” Im-

to situations, our experiences, and by living out our story in such a way that whoever we meet remembers us as someone who made their day, their job, and their life a little brighter.

When we think about our “Once upon a time” story that people will share, we should not worry about our past mistakes or failures because they are behind us now. We need to own and always learn from those mistakes and failures, but we should also remember that we have the opportunity to create our new story. The story that we really want to live and that we choose to live, and the one that we can start to begin authoring right now.

And maybe it is not a new story at all. Maybe we love the story we have lived and that we are living right now. And from this moment forward we can continue to write the rest of our story, we can build upon our journey by living more “Once upon a time” moments that helped shape how others will remember us and how we may have made a difference

in their lives in some way.

Right now may seem like a fleeting moment in time, and that may be true. But years from now we will look back at all of our collective fleeting moments, all the moments that seemed fleeting and maybe insignificant at the time, but the moments that over time shaped our life story. So, whatever it is we are doing right now, what we will do later today, and what we do in the fleeting but significant moments of tomorrow all matter. You matter.

Your story matters.

Once upon a time there was a young man who seemed to move from job to job with no goals or vision for his future. Living for the moment, the fun, and the paycheck.

He was never thinking about the life story that he was writing. This went on until one day he heard someone else share their life story. It was a story about living a life as a wandering generality, a life absent of goals and dreams until one day someone else came along and made a difference in their life. They taught

So how about you? How is your story being written? Are you the author or just the reader? If you are happy with your story, I encourage you to keep writing it. And if you don’t like the way the story is going so far, just remember that you can rewrite it starting right now.

Medication fog can worsen or mimic dementia in elderly Patients face risk as they take more drugs from multiple doctors

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Claire Dinneen’s daughters thought that worsening dementia was causing her growing confusion, but her doctor suspected something else.

Dr. Pei Chen asked them to round up medicines in the 89-year-old woman’s home and they returned with a huge haul. There were 28 drugs ordered by various doctors for various ailments, plus over-the-counter medicines. Chen spent a year sorting out which ones were truly needed and trimmed a dozen.

To her daughters’ surprise, Dinneen got better, able to remember more things and to offer advice on what to wear and how to raise their kids. Her symptoms were from “medication fog,” not her dementia getting worse, Chen told one daughter.

“I was just stunned,” Debbie Dinneen said. “No one had taken a look at the big picture” to see if medicines might be addling her mom, who lives near Berkeley, California.

“Unfortunately, it’s not unusual,” said Chen, a geriatrician at the University of California, San Francisco.

About 91% of people over 65 take at least one prescription medicine and 41% use five or more — what doctors call polypharmacy.

The risk of side effects or interactions rises with the number of pills, and one doctor often is unaware of what others have already prescribed for the same patient. Dinneen, for example, had two prescriptions for the same drug at different doses from different pharmacies.

“It’s very easy to miss medication side effects because they masquerade as all these other symptoms,” said Dr. Michael Steinman, another UCSF geriatrician.

He recently helped update an American Geriatrics Society list of potentially inappropriate medicines for older adults that can mimic dementia or make symptoms worse.

“Potentially” is the key word — the drugs on the list don’t always pose a problem, and no one should stop using any medicine without first

h

.

checking with a doctor because that could do serious harm, Steinman stressed.

Doctors ‘de-prescribe’ medicines But some medicines don’t have a strong reason to be used and their risks may outweigh their benefits for older people, he and other doctors say.

They often “de-prescribe” medicines that may no longer be needed or that once may have been OK but now may be causing problems.

The list includes certain types of muscle relaxants, antihistamines, allergy medicines, stomach acid remedies, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medicines, pain relievers, sleep aids and other common treatments.

Many of these drugs have anticholinergic effects — that is, they reduce or interfere with a chemical messenger that’s key to healthy nerve function. That can cause drowsiness, confusion, blurred vision, dizziness and other symptoms that impair thinking skills.

These drugs might be fine for a younger person, but “once someone is having even the tiniest difficulty with thinking and memory, then the effects of these drugs are just huge,” said Dr. Andrew Budson of Boston University’s Alzheimer’s disease center.

Sometimes side effects appear right away, but in other cases they only develop or show up with longer use.

Patients may not make the connection between a drug they’ve used for many months and new symptoms.

Age itself can be a culprit and make a long-used drug suddenly intolerable.

“The drug hasn’t changed, the person has,” said Dr. Greg Jicha, a dementia specialist at the University of Kentucky.

Family members will say: “`Well, she was on that for 20 years,’ but her brain, kidney, liver were younger too.

She’s no longer going to be able to metabolize that drug” like she used to, he said.

Jicha recalled a case last year when he was asked to give a second opinion on a woman recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He reviewed her medicines and “six jumped right out — these are not good medications for someone over 65” let alone at the higher doses she was receiving, he said. Four turned out to be for problems she no longer had, and he was able to switch some others to safer alternatives.

The woman’s score on a 38-point test of thinking skills rose from 18 before the medication changes to 33 after them, putting her at the low end of the normal range.

Now she can drive, which was “an absolute no-no six months earlier,” Jicha said. “She clearly no longer meets criteria for dementia.”

Research looks at older patients One of Jicha’s colleagues, Dr. Daniela Moga, heads a study to see whether optimizing medicines can delay the start of dementia symptoms. At the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Los Angeles in July, she described the federally funded research, which involves people who are 65 or older and taking at least one medicine on the geriatrics society list.

All have normal thinking skills, although some showed signs on brain scans of possible dementia developing. Participants are given a sort of cognitive stress test — they take exams for thinking skills while wearing a patch that oozes scopolamine, a motion sickness drug that has anticholinergic effects, and then four weeks later without the patch. If they do worse while on the patch, it means certain medicines might be harmful for them, Moga explained.

“We want to see if we can identify a specific group that might benefit most” by carefully managing medication use and possibly delay the start of dementia symptoms, she said.

To help avoid medication problems, doctors give these tips:  Make sure you know all the medications someone is taking, including prescription, over-the-counter and vitamins or dietary supplements.

Don’t assume that some are safe just because they don’t require a prescription.  Keep a running list with the date each medicine is started and stopped and note any symptoms. The National Institute on Aging offers a worksheet for this.  Review the total medication list with a doctor, a geriatrics specialist or a pharmacist.  If you suspect a problem, bring it up and don’t wait for your doctor to ask. The American Geriatric Society’s Health in Aging Foundation has these tools and tips for finding alternatives to any medicines causing trouble.

PRIMARY

THE COLORADO SUN

FROM PAGE 1

It represents a nearly 15-fold increase from 2016, when an estimated 122,000 Democrats attended caucuses and Republicans canceled their presidential vote.

The supporters behind the “Let Colorado Vote” initiative celebrated last week as a late surge in ballots boosted turnout to historic levels.

“I’m just very excited to see that we created a mandatory vehicle that allows all voters in Colorado to have more of a voice, I just think that’s a great thing in Colorado,” former DaVita CEO Kent Thiry, the measure’s leading supporter, said in an interview after polls closed.

But the primary also exposed an inconvenient reality: The full promise of Proposition 107 remains unfulfilled.

The advocates for the 2016 ballot initiative made the case to voters that the party caucuses favored party loyalists and only amplified candidates at the edges of either party. And a semi-open primary that allowed the state’s unaffiliated voters to participate would lead to more moderate nominees.

It didn’t happen. Bernie Sanders won the state’s Democratic presidential caucus in 2016 and the primary on Tuesday, both in convincing fashion. Likewise, the Democratic gubernatorial primary in 2018 — the first statewide contest with unaffiliated voters — went to Gov. Jared Polis, the candidate who outlined the most liberal agenda in the field.

Withdrawals created issue The main argument for the new

To learn more, go to ColoradoSun.com. system — that it would enfranchise all voters — didn’t fully materialize either. An estimated 150,000 or more votes were not even counted because two top Democratic contenders withdrew their candidacy weeks after voting started. And now lawmakers and the governor are discussing changes to assure voters aren’t disenfranchised.

Some unaffiliated voters didn’t participate because which party primary they voted in would have been public information.

Moreover, the method Republicans and Democrats created to award the state’s national delegates from the primary vote reveals that the process for picking a nominee is still firmly an internal party affair. (In fact, the party’s leadership can vote to cancel the primary if they wish.)

The Republican Party set a bar of 20% support for any candidate to qualify for delegates, a significant margin that none of the little-known rivals to President Donald Trump met.

And the Democratic Party awarded only one-third of their delegates to the statewide popular vote — reserving the majority for apportionment based on a formula that favors Democratic strongholds.

Mike Chiropolos, a 56-year-old registered Democratic voter from Boulder, questioned how the party allocated delegates. “We should honor

one-person, one-vote for presidential primaries,” he said in an interview.

“Transparency and a logical system is good for democracy. Everybody wants their vote to matter, and nobody likes to think their vote counts less.”

In addition, the Democratic delegates selected by party activists are able to switch allegiances and cast votes that differ from the choices of Colorado voters at the national convention.

The ballot measure and the implementation law gave the party this freedom, acknowledging that they are private organizations and free to operate under their own rules as part of a compromise with critics.

The supporters are the first to acknowledge that their vision for a more voter-centric process remains a work in progress.

“These things do take time to fully emerge,” Thiry told The Sun. “But I think it’s already making a difference, and that difference will continue to grow.”

The strong showing by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a former registered independent, suggested a step toward moderation in the minds of supporters. Sanders finished first with 36% and centrist Joe Biden, the former vice president, took 24%.

Bloomberg finished third at 21%.

“That’s just one election,” Thiry said. “And the portion of the electorate that is supporting Bernie Sanders is in part a function of the uniqueness of the current situation in our country and the campaign so far.

“But I’m very comfortable that the combination of open primaries and gerrymandering reform will make a

profound difference in the political representation of the political middle,” he said.

Turnout grew sharply The surge in turnout is significant, proponents reiterated. The total included an estimated 590,000 unaffiliated voters, according to Constellation, a Republican data firm, and about 70% voted in the Democratic primary.

Jenny Martin, a 36-year-old who voted in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood, said it was her first time participating in a primary. She backed Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

“I’m registered independent, so this is my first,” she said as she jogged her ballot to her neighborhood’s drop-off box. “I’m excited to get to join in.”

For the voters whose ballots didn’t count because their preferred candidates withdrew from the race, lawmakers are considering reforms to the current system, but others think voters will adapt.

“I think people, next time, might wait to vote until Election Day,” said Sen. Steve Fenberg, the Democratic chamber’s majority leader.

In addition, the Super Tuesday primary made Colorado a national player, even if the state was upstaged by larger prizes, such as California and Texas.

Even the initial critics — the political parties — are now touting the primary and using the spike in voter participation to demonstrate enthusiasm for their cause.

Controversial program aims to reduce young children’s risk of drowning

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

ith drowning as a leading cause of death among young children, parents each year seek out the best swim safety classes for their children.

One program in the Denver metro area is so popular among residents that it rivals community recreation centers’ own swimming programs in participation, the rec centers say.

Infant Swimming Resource, or ISR, has conducted more than 8 million self-rescue lessons nationwide since its founding in 1966 and boasts having saved 800 children, according to its website.

In the daily, 10-minute sessions, infants and toddlers are slowly taught to control their breath underwater, roll on their backs and then float if they find themselves unexpectedly in water. Those old enough to maneuver themselves are trained to find a pool’s wall.

ISR is not meant to replace other swim safety measure and the program encourages practices including constant supervision of children near water, four-sided fencing around pools, self-locking gates and alarms on any entrance to a pool.

The program is not without controversy. The American Academy of Pediatrics has not endorsed ISR because it lacks research, and some worry its methods traumatize children.

Still, parents steadfast in their support of ISR and confident in its ability to save young lives flock to the self-rescue lessons at local recreation centers, private pools and other facilities year-round.

“We are kind of the last measure against drowning,” ISR instructor Julia McDonald said. “If all of those other things fail, we are the thing that will save them if nobody else is around.”

Thankful for ISR Unintentional drowning was the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4 in the United States, according to 2017 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was the second leading cause of death for children 5 to 9 years old.

Roughly 1,000 children die from

Standing by the pool at the Highlands Ranch Recreation Center at Eastridge, Christy Groza pointed to the exact spot where her 4-year-old daughter Hyacinth slipped and fell in the water two years earlier.

Hyacinth received ISR training when she was younger but had not been to a class in roughly a year when the accident happened. Nonetheless, she did not panic. Instead, she immediately turned on her back and floated until a lifeguard scooped her

up, Groza said.

“I was so thankful for ISR,” Groza said.

For 2-year-old Benjamin Simcik, ISR lessons are about giving him survival skills when swimming with his parents and two older siblings, his mother Laura Simcik said.

“When you’re in a pool with three kids it could be life or death so fast and it’s really scary,” she said. “He needs to know that if you’re in water you can go under really fast.”

SEE SAFETY, P17

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children begin swim lessons at 12 months old, if parents and their pediatrician agree it’s a good fit for the individual child, said Sarah Denny, spokeswoman and lead author on the AAP’s policy statement for drowning prevention. Research shows that’s the age where swim lessons become effective and can lower the risk of drowning, according to the AAP. Parents are urged to stay vigilant and never leave a child alone at bath time, in wading pools or anytime a child may be near water. Stay within arm’s reach of infants and toddlers.

Still, many drowning deaths occur when children were not expected to be near the water, Denny said.

Pools should be protected by four-sided fencing with self-locking gates. Alarms on entrances to a pool are also encouraged, Denny said. All children should receive swim lessons, and parents too, according to the AAP’s policy statement.

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children 1 to 4 and it remains within the top 10 leading causes of death for people through the age of 54, according to 2017 statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There are a variety of swim lessons available in the Denver metro area, at community recreation centers or private companies. Parents can get in the water and learn alongside their infants and toddlers in some classes. There are also small-group classes where parents watch poolside, or private, one-on-one lessons with an instructor.

Benjamin did some crying when he began lessons several weeks ago. By week two he could float in the water without being held. In his fifth week, Benjamin was turning on his back when let go by his instructor and kicking to the pool’s edge in seconds.

“It was a little hard to watch at first,” Simcik said of the daily lessons.

“I think the consistency helped me too because I knew what to expect.”

Benjamin and Hyacinth’s instructor, Jennifer Dombrowski, has been ISR-certified for nine years and works in Highlands Ranch. She lets each student move at a pace that works for them, she said. She never allows a child to try a skill — putting their face in the water, submerging, floating — until she’s certain they’re ready, she said.

Both Dombrowski and McDonald, who is an independent contractor at the Brighton Recreation Center and teaches in Arvada, said demand is high for the program.

“Every child needs to know selfsurvive,” Dombrowski said. “Give each child that skill before they find themselves alone in the water.”

Facing controversy Some in the swim community scrutinize or oppose ISR. Rumors that ISR instructors toss children in pools shroud the program reputation. Some say ISR’s practice of having children

was the right decision,” said Democratic Party Chairwoman Morgan Carroll in a statement on March 4, the day after the primary. “We have clearly seen the difference a primary makes in terms of more voters participating in the decision — and when more people vote, democracy wins.”

Jennifer Dombrowski looks on as a student swims to the ledge of the pool practicing ISR skills.

Castle Rock swim instructor Russ Marsh, who owns Smilefish Swim School, said former ISR students have come to him afraid of the water, which he believes is because of the ISR training.

“I think it’s horrible, because I get kids that come to me that are 3 or 4 years old that are terrified,” he said.

“They’re scared to death of the water.

Not all of them, but too many.”

He’d prefer the youngest of swimmers undergo parent-taught classes, where parents are in the pool learning alongside infants and toddlers. It provides an important layer of comfort Sarah Matthews, a Trump campaign spokeswoman, pointed to the numbers on the GOP side. Trump easily won the state’s delegates.

“We are seeing proof of the huge enthusiasm for President Trump in Colorado where turnout for the 2020 Republican presidential primary is higher than the previous three Republican presidential primaries combined,” she said.

Staff writers Jesse Paul, Eric Lubbers and Moe Clark contributed to this report.

for children, Marsh said, who began as a swim coach in 1972 and coached for 35 years, including several at the University of Colorado. He switched to running swim lessons 15 years ago.

And ISR is not endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics because it lacks any studies conducted by peer-reviewed journals.

AAP spokeswoman Sarah Denny has served on the organization’s council for Injury, Violence and Poison Prevention for seven years. The general pediatrician was also lead author on the AAP’s policy statement for drowning prevention.

“At this time, we do not endorse ISR because there’s no evidence to

show that ISR is effective in preventing drowning,” Denny said. “There is absolutely no evidence around ISR.” Denny said she isn’t sure why studies are not available on the program, but it leaves AAP without the necessary information to take a stance on ISR. A spokesperson for ISR could not be reached for comment.

Parents of children in ISR told Colorado Community Media they either were not aware of the criticism toward ISR or were not swayed by it. Firsthand experience, they said, earned their faith in the program.

“Some parents can’t handle their kids crying and they mistake that for being scared,” Groza said. “Just because your kid cries doesn’t mean they’re scared. It could just mean that they’re a 2-year-old and they don’t want to do something.”

‘Barefoot in the Park’ is iconic crowd-pleaser

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lights go up on an empty apartment in an old brownstone on East 48th Street in New York City. It’s February 1963. Only the kitchen is furnished. A restless young woman enters and stuffs things into the refrigerator as she tidies up a bit.

Suitcases are in the room. We meet Corie Bratter (Lynzee Jones), the somewhat ditzy resident newlywed, who has rented this chilly fifth-floor space for herself and new husband, Paul (Tim Howard), an already-a-bitstuffy lawyer.

She awaits Bloomingdales’ furniture delivery — and the next years of her life…

The audience settles in for “Barefoot in the Park,” a favorite comedy

by American playwright Neil Simon (1927-2018). Many theater companies across the nation are honoring the late, always-popular Simon this season, with performances of his works — more than 30 plays, plus as many television scripts.

Stomping and puffing is heard. It’s the telephone repairman (Giovanni Roselli), here to hook them up and assign a phone number. Imagine! Her own number …

A winded Paul appears next — those stairs are an ongoing issue.

Each character’s response is different.

The phone guy leaves and a brief lovey-dovey interlude is followed

IF YOU GO “Barefoot in the Park” plays through March 22 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., downtown Littleton. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. See townhallartscenter.org, 303-794-2787, ext. 5. by arguing. He wants to work. She wants to play … More steps on the stairs announce the arrival of Corie’s mother (the always-entertaining Annie Dwyer).

Amusing Neil Simon-crafted conversation continues and eventually the quirky upstairs neighbor Victor Velasco (Tom Mullin) appears to add another voice and color to the scene.

They decide to head to Staten Island for dinner, where something with flaming brandy is said to be on the menu … They return full of Greek wine and still talking, talking …

Director Bob Wells, a comic himself, has shaped this popular Simon work into an entertaining evening for audiences at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, and it runs through March 22. Wells’ directors’ notes say it opened in October 1963 and played 1,530 performances, until June 1967 — and it’s been a steady favorite since. “In 1963, Simon became the only living playwright to have a New York City theater named after him, when the Alvin Theatre on Broadway was named The Neil Simon Theatre,” Wells continues.

Wells also added a quote from comedic actor Nathan Lane; “Neil often said … he was writing dramas with comic moments in them. The most important thing with his material was to always play it as you would a serious play and allow Neil to do his work.”

Exhibit explores impact of art inside federal prison “Brokenhood: The Art of Healing Through Community” on display through May 14 STAFF REPORT

Prison inmates often create artwork as a way to focus on something other than their surroundings. However, efforts to produce quality and meaningful artwork have been almost entirely inmate-led in most prisons.

Justin Reddick, seminarian turned prison art facilitator, hopes to change that as he explores the impact of art inside the federal prison complex.

Using the exhibit “Brokenhood: The Art of Healing Through Community” as a foundation, Reddick will discuss the creative arts platform, produce a live painting, auction off art, and more. Guests are also invited to spend time in the Denver Seminary’s Bridge Gallery, viewing art created by ADX Supermax inmates, as well as art created by Reddick and his colleagues.

Pieces from “Brokenhood: The Art of Healing Through Community” will be on display through May 14 in the Bridge Gallery in the Harold and

Virginia Simpson Leadership Center at Denver Seminary, 6399 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. A reception is planned from 7-9 p.m. March 12. Learn more at https://denverseminary.edu.

Much of the art displayed represents the CAP program’s recent graduating class from the ADX Supermax prison. This is the first time they have shown their work collectively to the public.

CAP is an activity designed to mentor participants using artistic methods, ideologies, and entrepreneurial techniques that help prisoners succeed in their communities upon release. For those not releasing back into society, CAP offers a holistic approach to skills development, team building, and artistic exploration.

Since its inception in 2016, the Creative Arts Platform has garnered local, regional, and national support, most notably from its partnership with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Inmate art and art created by CAP facilitators will be available for purchase. Proceeds from inmate art will be split between the inmate and a nonprofit of their choice. Proceeds from CAP facilitators’ art will be donated to Denver Seminary for its Training and Mentoring Program.

Old time and temp line awaits your call 303-222-8811 is working again, thanks to a Texas phone fanatic

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Does the phone number 303-222-8811 sound familiar? Longtime residents of the Denver area may recognize it as one of the city’s old time and temperature numbers.

Disconnected since the 1990s, the line recently came back to life thanks to John Lochridge, a Texas telecom engineer on a mission to resurrect the nation’s time and temperature lines.

“It’s something from childhood,” Lochridge said. “For many people, the time and temperature was the first number they learned to call.”

Lochridge has reinstated hundreds of lines around the country over the past several years. He begins with research, he said. He sometimes finds former time and temp lines listed in old phone books and road atlases, but others come from community Facebook groups.

Then, it’s a matter of working with phone companies to obtain the rights to the phone number itself, many of which have been disconnected for years. Finally, Lochridge uses his engineering and computer programming skills to connect the line to an Another of Denver’s old time and temperature lines is back in service, thanks to Texas Notice that reads the automatedPublic recording telecom engineer John Lochridge.

made her so happy,” Lochridge said.

Time and temperature lines date back to the early days of telephony, Lochridge said.

People used to call operators to get the right time to set their clocks, which bothered phone companies because the calls were taking up operator time but didn’t generate revenue. For a time, phone companies hired employees specifically to stare at a clock and read the time out loud all day.

Eventually companies developed automated lines, which connected to a mechanical device that announced the time and temperature off a series of electromagnetic drums. As the 20th century progressed, time and temperature numbers proliferated.

Many were operated by phone companies, but others were run by local banks.

“Before the internet, and especially before television, it was the best way to accurately set your clocks,” Lochridge said.

In Denver, 303-222-8811 belonged to the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, which became US West in 1991. The line was unceremoniously decommissioned sometime in the 1990s, and US West became Qwest, now CenturyLink.

The line joins another old Denver time and temp line that Lochridge restored: 303-844-4444. The Denver Post also operates the Weatherline Forecast Service at 303-337-2500.

“I hope it brings joy to people’s lives,” Lochridge said. “We try to offer hope, too. On Sunday I include a Scripture reading in the calls. I want to offer more than memories. A little hope for the future, too.”
