COVID-19

Spring break extended in DPS Buildings to close for disinfecting, students scheduled to return April 6

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The small businesses involved are Denver Beer Co., a Denver-based craft brewery; The Clinic, a marijuana dispensary chain located in and around Denver; and Earthly Labs, a Texas-based company that developed a CO2 capture technology specifically for small businesses.

How it works is Denver Beer Co. uses Earthly Labs’ specialized equipment, a plug-n-play machine called CiCi, to capture carbon dioxide from the brewery’s fermentation tanks.

Denver Public Schools announced on March 12 that the district will be taking an extended spring break in response to COVID-19.

Spring break now was scheduled to begin on March 16 and last through April 7. Staff is scheduled to return on April 6. The extended spring break applies to all DPS schools, including charter schools, as well as all before-and-afterschool care and Discovery Link camps.

During the extended spring break, the district is offering breakfast and lunch meals as a grab-andgo service at eight locations: • Abraham Lincoln High School, 2285 S. Federal Blvd.

• Joe Shoemaker School, 3333 S Havana St. • Place Bridge Academy, 7125 Cherry Creek N. Drive • Denver Center for International Studies Baker, 574 Sixth Ave.

Teaming up for the environment CO2 capture technology reduces overall releases of greenhouse gases

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When a craft brewer has carbon dioxide and a marijuana grower needs carbon dioxide, it’s a classic Colorado story with an environmental benefit.

Three small businesses have teamed up to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through a pilot program facilitated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

“This is a classic win-win-win scenario,” said Kaitlin Urso, environmental protection specialist with the CDPHE. “We’re connecting companies that have excess carbon dioxide with companies that need it, and in the process, we’re reusing CO2 that would otherwise be released directly into the environment.”

THE BOTTOM LINE PERIODICAL

“We are likely on the verge of a tipping point where we will see more community spread. This will get worse before it gets better.”

‘This will get worse before it gets better’ Governor gives update on ‘community spread’ of COVID-19 as case numbers climb

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A day after Gov. Jared Polis declared a state of emergency in response to the spread of COVID-19 — the disease caused by a widespread coronavirus — the number of confirmed cases nearly doubled, and Polis announced guidelines for K-12 school closures and travel to Colorado’s mountain towns.

“At this point, we can confirm community spread in the high country of Colorado, and while we’re still investigating and have not confirmed community spread in the Denver metro area, we are treating it as if it Polis is already occurring,” Polis said at a March 11 news conference.

Community spread can mean cases and outbreaks in areas where people became infected and the source is unknown. When it’s more widespread, it means cases and outbreaks in

many communities where the virus is spread between people.

Also on March 11, the World Health Organization — the United Nations health agency — classified COVID-19 as a pandemic, which means an outbreak of illness with sustained transmission, or spread, on more than one continent.

By the end of last week, Colorado had dozens of presumptive positive cases of COVID-19, and hundreds had been tested.

In the metro area, there were multiple presumptive positive cases in Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties.

Generally, cases are being referred to as presumptive positive because initial testing is done at the state level, and results will be confirmed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC. “We are likely on the verge of a tipping point where we will see more community spread,” Polis said at the news conference, where he also noted, “This will get worse before it gets better.”

But he also emphasized the role everyday citizens have in mitigating the spread and putting others first in the face of disruptions to daily life.

“This is really a test of our Colorado character,” Polis said.

Polis announced guidance for all K-12 school districts in the state, outlining closures if they have a student

ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE If you have symptoms of COVID-19, first call a health care provider, clinic or hospital. The provider will give instructions on whether you need to be tested and on where to go to for care and testing.

If instructed to seek care, follow the precautionary advice of the medical provider before going into any health facility, the state advises.

Certain people are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, including older adults, especially those over 80; and those with chronic medical conditions such as heart, lung or kidney disease. Older adults who have chronic medical conditions are at the highest risk.

Illness can be severe and require hospitalization, but most individuals recover by resting, drinking plenty of liquids, and taking pain- and fever-reducing medications, according to the state.

Other advice from public health officials: • Stay home if you are sick.

• Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as desks, phones, doorknobs and rails.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. or staff member who is infected.

One COVID-19 case at a school would trigger a closure for at least 72

hours to disinfect the building. For schools with three cases within a 30day period, closure is required for a minimum of 14 days. If three schools in a district have cases within a 30-day period, all schools in the district are required to close for a minimum of 14 days.

The University of Colorado-Boulder announced it would transition to online classes for the rest of the semester, starting March 16, due to COVID-19 concerns. Metropolitan State University of Denver is moving classes online by March 30, as is Colorado State University on March 25.

The state is also limiting visitation to senior facilities, announcing incoming rules regarding nursing homes and senior-care facilities.

Some groups are at higher risk of getting very sick or dying from COVID-19, including those over age 60 — especially people over 80 years old — as well as people with chronic medical conditions.

“Young, healthy people should take the proper precautions so they don’t perhaps fatally (impact) vulnerable populations,” Polis said.

The governor also advised that that older people and those with underlying health conditions should avoid travel to the high country and refrain from attending large gatherings.

Governor declares state of emergency

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gov. Jared Polis declared a state of emergency in response to the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by a widespread coronavirus, as the number of cases in Colorado continued to grow on March 10.

“Our administration’s response will be guided by the science and lessons learned from the countries and states that this virus arrived in first,” Polis said in a statement. “We will continue to be proactive and working around the clock to protect public health and safety with an eye towards preventing the need for more drastic measures that result in social disruption.”

The World Health Organization — the United Nations health agency — on March 11 classified COVID-19 as a pandemic, which means an outbreak of illness with sustained transmission, or spread, on more than one continent.

The emergency declaration gives Polis broad temporary powers, and he is acting to protect those who are most vulnerable to the virus, said Conor Cahill, the governor’s press secretary.

Polis directed the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment to make emergency rules to ensure workers in food-handling, hospitality, child care, health care and education receive paid sick leave if they exhibit flu-like symptoms and have to miss work awaiting testing results for COVID-19, according to a governor’s office news release.

For workers who test positive and lack access to paid leave, Polis directed the Labor Department to identify other support, such as access to unemployment insurance.

That’s an especially important step for those who work with older people and those with underlying health issues, who are all considered vulnerable populations amid the spread of COVID-19, according to the state.

“When those workers lack access to paid sick leave, it poses a great risk to our ability to protect the public,” the governor’s office said in a release.

Polis also directed the Colorado Department of Revenue to temporarily allow those over the age of 65 to extend their driver’s licenses online to avoid having to gather at DMVs. The declaration also allows Colorado to request more federal funding to respond to COVID-19.

Testing is an ‘essential health benefit’

POLIS FROM PAGE 2

Polis also highlighted sporting events as among the public gatherings that should take measures to prevent spread of the virus. To that end, the Colorado High School Activities Association announced it would limit the number

of people attending state basketball tournament games last week, before ultimately canceling the remainder of the tournament after several girls games had been played on March 12. CHSAA also suspended all spring sports and activities through April 6.

Guidance will also be issued on protecting staff and people in custody at Colorado’s 24/7 facilities, such as correctional facilities, Polis said.

What colleges, universities are doing

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As with many institutions across the nation, Denver-area colleges and universities are taking precautions aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19. Here is a look at what schools are doing: Arapahoe Community College Spring break will be extended through March 30 to give the college time to transition to remote or online classes. Courses that cannot be delivered remotely will be structured to provide social distancing and other responsible precautions. www.arapahoe.edu/ Auraria Campus Auraria Campus includes Community College of Denver, University of Colorado-Denver and Metropolitan State University of Denver. The three colleges are working together on handling shared facilities.

University of Colorado-Denver: The school will remain open during spring break, March 23-27 as it prepares for a transition to online or remote courses. UCD expects to have full implementation of remote teaching and learning by March 30, though some courses may transition sooner. www1.ucdenver.edu/coronavirus Metropolitan State University of Denver: The school will remain open during spring break as it prepares for a transition to online or remote courses. Metro expects to have full

implementation of remote teaching and learning by March 30 and stated that it is likely classes will not take place on campus for the remainder of spring semester. www.msudenver.edu/ coronavirus-update/ Community College of Denver: No announcements on campus closures or a transition to online courses has been made as of March 12. Updates concerning campus operations are expected.

Colorado Christian University As of March 12, “classes, chapel and other operations on the Lakewood campus for students in the College of Undergraduate Studies will continue as usual at this time.” www.ccu.edu/ coronavirus/ Colorado School of Mines Classes will be canceled March 16-20 to prepare for a transition to remote and online courses. All courses will transition to online by March 30, which will be implemented for the remainder of the semester.

Spring break has been extended by one week, but campus buildings will remain open. Classes on all campuses will resume on March 30.

However, most classes will be conducted either online or videoconferencing, and some will be conducted through a combination of remote access and campus-based lab time where social distance can be maintained. It is expected that courses will continue as such for the remainder of the semester. https://www.frontrange.edu/ Johnson & Wales University Denver Campus As of March 11, the school’s website stated: “A Denver Campus student who presented to that campus’ Health Services is presumably positive while awaiting CDC evaluation. Out of an abundance of caution, the Denver Campus remains closed and updates are being provided to those students, faculty and staff.” www.jwu.edu/ news/coronavirus.html Red Rocks Community College Classes will not be held from March 16-29. Remote instruction and exams for most classes, and risk reduction plans for those classes not easily transitioned into remote instruction will be in place beginning March 30. www. rrcc.edu/cdphe-coronavirus Regis University Regis University’s website states “academic continuation plans have been developed to ensure that courses may continue online in the event that face-to-face instruction must be suspended for a period of time. As the situation unfolds, the university response will evolve in equal measure.” www.regisupdates.com

University of Denver As of March 12, the University of Denver is not closing its campus.

However, certain measures are being implemented: All classes will move to online courses, beginning March 17 and continuing until at least April 10.

Funding Longevity is Hard.

There is a Solution!

by Kathy Muni

A

ccording to a recent survey of seniors, 80% were concerned about their ability to age-in-place due to the cost. Sixty percent have less than $10,000 in savings (including investments and retirement plans), and debt among seniors has never been higher. Nearly half of homeowners ages 65–79 carry a mortgage.

In addition, seniors are living longer than previous generations and funding longevity can be hard. However, there is a smart way to afford retirement, and live without a monthly mortgage payment* with a reverse mortgage from Silver Leaf Mortgage.

To qualify for a government-insured reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. A reverse mortgage can be used to eliminate your monthly mortgage payment, which can be a real burden if you’re on a fixed income. A reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan, meaning even if your home loses value due to a market downturn, you or your heirs can never be “under water.”

Just to clarify, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not. The reverse mortgage is not repaid until the last borrower leaves the home.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage in place, aging-in-place is possible! Call me today to see if a reverse mortgage can help you fund your retirement.

Testing center for COVID-19 opens Patients must present doctor’s order, photo ID to get tested at drive-up center

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The state’s first community testing center for COVID-19 opened on March 11.

The center operated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is located at 8100 E. Lowry Blvd., in Denver’s Lowry neighborhood.

Weekly hours of operation will be posted on the CDPHE’s website: www.colorado.gov/pacific/ cdphe/2019-novel-coronavirus.

Scroll to “COVID-19 testing” and select the link to find the schedule.

The center is drive-up. Individuals being tested drive through a secured area and will remain in their ve-

hicles throughout the entire testing process.

“This testing center will help the state test as many people as possible and improve the public health response by identifying and isolating those who are ill,” a news release states. “This approach also helps to protect older adults and people with compromised immune systems.”

Interpretation services via telephone will be available for non-English speakers.

It is free to get tested and proof of health insurance is not required.

However, to get tested, a person must have a doctor’s order confirming the individual meets certain criteria relating to novel coronavirus. A list of criteria can be found on the CDPHE’s website. It is recommended that people obtain the doctor’s order electronically, such as via email or fax, rather than visiting the doctor’s office in person.

Each person must have his or her own doctor’s order.

WHAT IS CORONAVIRUS? Coronavirus is a family of viruses named for the microscopic view of crownlike spikes on their surfaces, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

These viruses can cause the common cold or more severe diseases such as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome), which have seen outbreaks in the past, according to the CDC. COVID-19 — standing for “coronavirus disease 2019” — first appeared in late 2019 in Wuhan, China.

Symptoms of COVID-19 can include fever, cough and breathing trouble. Most people develop only mild symptoms, according to Denver Public Health. But according to the CDC, some — usually those with severe underlying health conditions or older adults — develop more serious symptoms, including pneumonia, which can be fatal.

Technically, COVID-19 is caused by a virus named SARS-CoV-2.

A form of photo identification with a name that matches the name on the doctor’s order is also needed to get tested. The photo ID does not need to be government issued.

People getting tested at the driveup center should be prepared for long wait times, and it is recommended to bring water, snacks and other items to be comfortable while waiting. Additionally, no restrooms are available at the site.

Those who get tested will be

contacted directly with their results within 72 hours, depending on test volume. During that time, individuals should stay home.

Individuals who receive positive test results may be issued isolation orders.

The news release states that the lab’s capacity for testing has increased, and will continue to receive additional tests from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Are you eligible for the state COVID-19 test?

STAFF REPORT

At the state’s drive-up facility in east Denver, those looking to be tested for COVID-19 must have a doctor’s note stating they meet the criteria. That facility is located at 8100 E. Lowry Blvd.

The lab was open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays in its first week.

Call the public health department at 303-692-2000 or email cdphe.information@state.co.us for the current hours.

To be tested there for COVID-19, people must meet one of seven criteria, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and

Environment: • Having fever or signs of lower respiratory illness, such as cough or shortness of breath, and having close contact with a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patient within 14 days of showing symptoms, or: • Having fever or signs of lower respiratory illness without a diagnosis that could explain them, such as influenza, and having a history of travel to areas with ongoing community spread of COVID-19 within 14 days of showing symptoms, or: • Any person who is hospitalized and also has fever or signs of lower respiratory illness without a diag-

nosis that could explain it, or: • Anyone who lives in a residential facility such as a nursing home and also has fever or signs of lower respiratory illness without a diagnosis that could explain it, or: • Any health care worker, clinical laboratory worker or first responder who has new onset of symptoms within 14 days of having direct contact with patients who have signs of respiratory illness or their clinical specimens; and also has fever or signs of lower respiratory illness without a diagnosis that could explain it, or; • Anyone who is at risk of severe illness due to COVID-19, including

BATH SALE

adults 65 and older, and those with chronic medical conditions or who are receiving immunosuppressive medications; and also has fever or signs of a lower respiratory illness without a diagnosis that could explain it, or; • Any person in a group with multiple individuals with symptoms that is being investigated by public health officials; and also has fever or signs of lower respiratory illness.

People who do not meet the state’s testing criteria can be tested at LabCorp and other commercial labs that will conduct COVID-19 testing.

VOICES When difficult times create easy decisions

P

eople make new decisions based on new information.

And sometimes, what we think are difficult decisions to make as we face a trying or challenging time, become much easier to make when we receive the right information and new data.

For the past few weeks, individuals, businesses of all sizes, organizations and schools have all wrestled with difWINNING ficult decisions. Do WORDS I travel? Do I go to work? Do we restrict our people from coming to work? Do we place a ban on company travel? Do we cancel events and conferences? Do we not attend those events or conferences?

Michael Norton Those are all behavior-based decisions. Should we or shouldn’t we do or attend something? Just within the past two weeks many were still trying to minimize the outbreak or impact of the coronavirus.

While some closings and events were

canceled and people had no choice or decision to make about going somewhere or doing something like showing up to work or attending class, others still pressed on and went to concerts, conferences, work, and other events and gatherings where many people were together. They still made the decision to shake hands, give hugs, and live and work as they always did.

And these behavior-based decisions were sometimes made because people believed they had to do what they needed to do in order to survive and provide for their families. These were difficult decisions for many people, and they were difficult decisions made in the face of a difficult situation.

Then there was new information.

Those behavior-based decisions were replaced with belief-based and knowledge-based decisions. The spread of the virus became a pandemic. The stock market went into a free fall. This all became very real for those who chose not to believe. Those of us who moved forward with our daily behaviors and work patterns now found ourselves making much easier decisions.

It’s time to stay home, it’s time to keep a safe distance, it’s time to wash our

hands more than we have ever washed them before. It’s time to let make better decisions for ourselves, our neighbors, and our businesses.

Here’s another belief-based decision we can make. It may seem harder for some and easier for others. We need to make the decision to maintain our mind, our body, and our spirit. In this difficult time, we need to make the easy decision to stay positive in every aspect of our lives. Our behaviorbased decisions will now look and sound like this: I can work remotely and still be productive; I can use more virtual technology and not get on airplanes for a little while; I can keep learning and complete my classes online if I need to; and I can probably survive emotionally without giving out handshakes and hugs for a while.

Staying positive in a seemingly negative situation is a decision. And to do that we need to make sure that we are making new decisions based on new information and making certain that the information is coming from a reliable source. And there are other things we can do like choosing to do more reading of books we have been meaning to read; listening to uplifting and posi-

tive podcasts; spending time in prayer, meditation, or silence; eating healthier; maintaining some level of exercise at home even if we can’t go to the gym.

As we sit here today, there are restrictions and conditions we are forced to live with. And many of those restrictions and conditions were difficult decisions made by government agencies. They were made to try and protect us to the best of their ability. Even if it means economic hardships for a while.

And for us it comes down to the decision we will make, and how we choose to handle this and respond to it.

So how about you? Are you making new decisions based on new information? Are you making the decision to take care of your mind, body, and spirit during this difficult time? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we realize that difficult situations could create easier decisions that keep more of us all healthy, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

When life gives you moisture, make the moist of it

H

eadline: “Celebrity swears by moisturizer.”

Tell me: Who swears by a moisturizer?

What exactly is a moisturizer?

Is here a man alive who can say the word “moisturizer” with a straight face? My father never said the word “moisturizer.”

Like father like son.

You’re not going to QUIET hear me say “moisDESPERATION turizer.”

I’m one of the lucky ones. My father didn’t work at a moisturizer factory.

If he had worked at a moisturizer factory, I’d have to say “moisturizer factory” whenever I was asked Craig Marshall where my father worked.

Smith Maybe there are other jobs a father could have that his son would hate to admit to.

“He makes automobile scent diffus-

ers.”

“What?”

“You know? Those little pine trees you hang from the rear view mirror.”

A moisturizer is a lotion or cream that prevents dry skin.

So does St. Louis. Ever been there?

Dry skin in St. Louis is an impossibility.

Could you live there? I couldn’t. It would be double trouble for a curmudgeon. Walk out at dawn to pick the morning paper off the driveway and watch rivulets of human dew run down your arms and splash on the daily. No thanks.

Is moisturizer sold in Missouri?

I don’t swear by anything because I don’t swear. I leave that to others.

There’s plenty of it already.

Oh, I might swear when I’m alone, but never in public.

Swearing is so commonplace in films that your kids can hear the brunt of it in just about anything that’s made these days.

Remember one of Rhett’s last words to Scarlett? That was a big deal in 1939.

Not now.

Swearing is easy. One word in particular gets used as a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and floor polish.

It is used so often it has no meaning.

Just like maraschino cherries.

If you have ever wondered where maraschino cherries come from, I’m here to tell you.

They come from the Marasca region in coastal Croatia.

If you have ever wondered where Croatia is, I’m here to tell you.

It borders Slovenia.

I only know where Croatia is; I don’t know where Slovenia is.

In another month or two, you’ll hear someone say, “We need the moisture.”

Then, after it rains, you’ll hear someone say, “We needed the moisture.”

Observations like this should be felonious.

Along with, “Hot enough for you?”

And the broken-record kid at the checkout stand who says, “Have a nice day” to everyone who comes through.

He says it in the same, flat tone of

voice that gives the impression it’s the last thing he wishes on anyone.

Try something else.

“May flights of angels carry thee to thy rest.”

“Purl one, knit two.”

“Bob’s your uncle.”

The celebrity who swears by her moisturizer is well known. She has a brother in the business as well, although his star doesn’t shine as brightly.

My sister outshined me in high school by a mile. She was a goldenhaired cheerleader. Say no more.

Boys opened doors for her. Teachers opened doors for her. The principal opened doors for her.

Me? I experienced none of that.

I still don’t. The last time someone opened a door for me, Mickey Mouse had five fingers.

But I can’t complain. My skin is naturally moist.

TEAMING FROM PAGE 1

Once captured, the gas goes through a three-step purifying process and is eventually converted to liquid. It is then transported in special, certified tanks to The Clinic’s cannabis growing facility. There, the tank is hooked up to the growers’ system and the CO2 is released into the grow room, stimulating plant growth during cultivation.

The pilot program is not funded by the state, Urso said. She added the three businesses chose to partner and invest in the program. The CDPHE’s role was connecting the three partners to one another, Urso said.

“It’s inspiring to see small businesses taking an investment in solutions … to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions,” Urso said.

Earthly Labs was founded in 2016 with the purpose of making carbon dioxide capture technology affordable to small businesses, said Amy George, founder and CEO. George has a background in the large industrial sector and realized there is a supply-anddemand need for CO2 among small business as well, particlarly craft breweries, George said.

“We are thrilled to help these industry pioneers reduce costs, drive innovation and improve the quality of life in Colorado,” George said of the partnership between Denver Beer Co. and The Clinic.

Earthly Labs’ overall goal, George added, is to avoid 1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions across the nation by 2030.

“This is a real opportunity to keep (a significant amount of) CO2 out of the atmosphere,” George said.

Denver Beer Co. operates a brewery and taproom in Denver’s Highland neighborhood and another in Olde Town Arvada, and will be opening a third brewery and taproom at 2425 S. Downing St., which is on the border of the Rosedale and University neighborhoods, this summer.

Co-owners Patrick Crawford and Charlie Berger also have a Denver Beer Co. production and canning facility called Canworks in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood at 4455 Jason St. The fermentation stage of the beerbrewing process naturally produces carbon dioxide, and Berger estimates that Denver Beer Co. can capture about 150,000 pounds of CO2 per year with Earthly Labs’ technology.

All of the CO2 that is not sent to the cannabis industry will be reused by -the brewery, Berger said.

“Something near-and-dear to our hearts as Coloradans is taking care of our environment,” Berger said. For Denver Beer Co., the pilot program is a way to give back to their communities, he said. “Capturing and reusing CO2 is an extension of our efforts to hbe as sustainable as possible.”

Berger added that Denver Beer Co.’s other sustainability efforts include us.ing 98% locally-grown malted barley and powering Canworks by solar.

The Clinic’s director of operations Brian Cusworth said CO2 is required for plant growth, so another way the pilot program partnership will contribute to reducing The Clinic’s carbon footprint is by eliminating the

need to purchase carbon dioxide from power plants and shipping it across the state.

Canworks, where the CO2 will be captured, is only about seven or eight miles away from The Clinic’s cultivation center where the CO2 will be delivered.

The Clinic has four marijuana retail locations across the metro area — Denver’s University Hills, South Park Hill and West Highland neighborhoods; and one location in Wheat Ridge — two Denver-based cultivation centers and a lab.

“We’ve always put innovation as a top priority of ours, right alongside sustainability,” Cusworth said.

Cusworth added he hopes the pilot program will bring awareness to Earthly Labs’ technology for small businesses, and that an industry partnership is an option for any brewery and any legal indoor marijuana cultivation business.

“That’s what it’s really all about,” Cusworth said, “taking larger steps toward responsibility and fighting climate change in the communities that support us.”

The first batch of CO2 was captured from Denver Beer Co. on Jan. 20 and distributed to The Clinic in early February. Testing for quality and various environmentals, specific to the pilot program but taking place concurrently with standard state-mandated testing, will take place for 16 weeks, which is the life cycle of a marijuana plant, Cusworth said.

Both Cusworth and Berger said a partnership between a craft brewery and a marijuana cultivation business, combined with using a small company’s technology, to result in reducing carbon emissions makes sense especially in Colorado. They pointed to the state’s thriving craft brewery culture

From left, Amy George, founder and CEO of Earthly Labs; Kaitlin Urso, environmental protection specialist with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment; Brian Cusworth, director of operations at The Clinic; Chris Baca, operations manager at The Clinic; and Charlie Berger, co-owner of Denver Beer Co., have their picture taken during a tour of The Clinic’s active growing room. and the fact that the rest of the nation is looking at Colorado as the pioneers of the legal marijuana industry. This is in addition to Coloradans’ general appreciation for the outdoors, Cusworth and Berger said.

While Earthly Labs’ technology is being used in a small number of craft breweries across the nation, Colorado’s pilot program is the first of its kind to form a partnership between a brewery and cannabis cultivation to help reduce both industries’ carbon footprint.

“This program is a little ahead of its time,” Urso said. She added that assuming all works as it is predicted to, her hope is for the program to expand.

“We could really move the needle in helping the state meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals.”

Though religion and tastes are changing, old instruments still command awe

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

utside Trinity United Methodist Church in downtown Denver, the din of the city roars.

But inside the old church, a stone anachronism in a canyon of steel and glass, there is silence.

Organist Norm Sutphin walks into the cavernous sanctuary, lit only by the glow of sunshine through stained glass. He sits at a bench at the center of the altar, towered over by organ pipes stretching three stories high. He flips a switch, and a breath of air cuts the silence, just slightly.

Sutphin begins to play, and the sanctuary is suddenly alive with the majesty of Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in D Minor, the low notes rattling hymnals in the pews.

“This instrument can rouse emotions in the soul like few other things,” Sutphin said. “I appreciate its beauty, and I respect its power.”

The pipe organ is one of the largest in Denver, and perhaps the oldest. Built in 1888, it consists of 4,275 pipes in 82 sections. The smallest are just inches long. The tallest, low C, is 32 feet.

The Roosevelt organ, which Sutphin calls “one of the monuments of organ building in the West,” is one of many mighty pipe organs scattered around the Denver metro area.

But, Sutphin said, as traditional religious denominations and traditional church music decline, he is part of a diminishing family of organists who still command the power of the world’s largest musical instruments.

“I work very hard to make sure my performances are tight,” said Sutphin, who practices up to six days a week in preparation for Sunday. “It means a lot to people.”

Organs in history They still mean a lot to Rick Morel, a third-generation pipe organ builder and repairman. Morel is one of three remaining members of Morel and Associates, one of few remaining pipe organ repair shops in the Mountain West.

In an aging warehouse in north Denver, Morel cleans, tunes and repairs pipe organs, using decades-old tools, many of which are handmade.

Pipe organs are marvels of engineering, Morel said.

“The people who designed these were as smart as any computer engineer designing microchips today,” he said. “They can make so many sounds.

No other single instrument has so much range.”

Developed in the 17th century, pipe organs were originally hand-pumped, and larger ones required multiple

Morel said. “We haven’t built an organ since the 1990s. A lot of the old churches are on hard times, and organs can be expensive to maintain.”

Morel said he’s got two or three t restoration jobs left, and then it’s n probably time to close up the multigenerational business.

“We can’t find anyone who wants to take it over,” Morel said. “This is a labor of love. You don’t do it to get rich. And if you’re not willing to run out in a blizzard to do an emergency repair on Christmas Eve, then you’re not living up to the standards we hold ourselves to.”

The colossal 1888 Roosevelt pipe organ at Denver’s Trinity United Methodist Church is “one of the monuments of organ building in the West,” said organist Norm Sutphin. people working bellows to keep them playing, Morel said. The Industrial Revolution introduced organs powered by electric air blowers.

Pipe organs were once a staple of American life, Morel said.

“In the silent film era, any theater worth its salt had a pipe organ.

Beyond a soundtrack of mood music, they could make so many sound effects: boat horns, sirens, even waves and pounding surf.”

The early 20th century saw an explosion of similar instruments, including automatic organs that even included banjos, violins and other instruments played mechanically.

Denver had some legendary organs.

The old City Auditorium, which today is part of the Denver Center for Performing Arts, was home to a colossal,

four-story organ. The City of Denver employed a “city organist” who gave recitals as often as seven days a week some summers.

The Phipps Mansion in Denver’s Belcaro neighborhood featured an automatic organ in the basement that could be controlled by switches throughout the house, and could play a variety of contemporary and classic tunes.

The advent of talking movies, the Great Depression and metal rationing during World War II spelled a downturn for pipe organs, but pent-up demand and a surge of suburban church building in the postwar years meant an explosion in the organ market. It would prove to be the last.

“Tastes in church music are changing, and they have been for a while,”

Old and new Some of the postwar suburban churches are still mighty proud of their pipe organs, and finding ways to incorporate them into modern worship.

At Ascension Lutheran Church in Littleton, the 1950s-vintage pipe organ is still a draw for parishioners, said Michael Zehnder, the church’s director of music ministries.

The church now holds two services every week: a traditional service built around a pipe organ performance, and a contemporary service built around modern music. Zehnder also leads several choirs and handbell choruses.

“I’m a pastor’s son, and when contemporary music came along in the 1970s, it seemed so wrong to me,” Zehnder said. “But time and again in the Scripture, we see passages about making joyous music to celebrate God. We read about drums, cymbals, harps and trumpets. Martin Luther said, ‘Next to the word of God, I give music the highest praise.’”

Zehnder sees the organ as a bridge to the church’s past, and a way to preserve hymns that date to medieval times.

“It’s a way to feel the awe of God,” Zehnder said.

Children’s Hospital responds to COVID-19 Hospital implements visitation restrictions, new travel/illness screenings STAFF REPORT

As the number of COVID-19 cases grows in the state, Children’s Hospital Colorado has implemented visitation restrictions and travel/illness screenings, according to a news release.

Families of patients at Children’s may identify up to four caregivers, ages 18 or older, who will be allowed to visit. Only two visitors are allowed at a time.

Parents who must bring in their child for an emergency visit are asked to avoid bringing in additional family members. Limiting the number of visitors to the hospital is one way to limit the spread of illness and keep everyone safe, the release said.

Patients and families also might see doctors and nurses wearing masks and protective equipment. Some of the masks fit over the head and look almost like an astronaut helmet.

Staff members wearing the protective equipment can provide the same level of care, according to the news release.

Parents of children with symptoms that could be coronavirus are asked not to go unannounced to a doctor’s of-

fice, emergency department, hospital or medical facility. Instead, they are asked to call the child’s doctor or the hospital’s ParentSmart Healthline at 720-777-0123 to get guidance about the right course of action.

In addition, patients are being asked not to come to emergency or urgent care locations unless they are experiencing a medical emergency or are directed to go there by a doctor. This is to help limit the spread of illness in the community, and to allow emergency departments to care for patients with the most critical needs first.

For information about COVID-19 and potential exposure information, call CO-Help at 303-389-1687 or 1-877462-2911 for answers in both English and Spanish.

Children’s Hospital Colorado offers a number of resources for families.

State basketball tournaments canceled after some games played STAFF REPORT

In the Class 5A girls basketball state semifinals on March 12, Grandview defeated Valor Christian and Cherry Creek downed Highlands Ranch at the Denver Coliseum. But there would be no champion decided this year.

COVID-19 continued to have an impact on sports at all levels in the United States as the Colorado High School Activities Association canceled the remainder of the girls and boys basketball tournaments in all classifications. The decision was announced in a news release issued shortly after 11 p.m. March 12. The NCAA canceled its men’s and women’s basketball tour-

naments earlier in the day.

Boys semifinals were scheduled to begin March 13, with championship games for boys and girls slated for March 14. In Classes 4A and 5A, the semifinals and finals for both boys and girls were scheduled to be played at the Denver Coliseum. The Class 3A semis and championship game were scheduled to be held at the University of Denver.

Spring high school sports, activities suspended through April 6 STAFF REPORT

The impact of COVID-19 on the sports world has extended to the Colorado high school level.

The Colorado High School Activities Association has suspended all spring sports and activities through April 6, according to a news release issued March 12. The decision was scheduled to become effective as of March 13.

“The situation will be monitored and evaluated with key decision-makers from around the state to determine when, or if, to resume the spring season,” the release states.

In addition to sporting events, the decision means the suspension of ac-

tivities such as music festivals and the state speech tournament, according to the release.

On March 11, CHSAA made the decision to dramatically limit the number of people allowed to attend the state high school basketball championships, scheduled for March 12-14. After the girls basketball semifinals March 12, the decision was made to cancel the remainder of the tournament games in all classifications.

CHSAA’s moves came on the heels of Gov. Jared Polis’ announcement that large public gatherings, including sporting events, should have protocols in place to help limit the spread of COVID-19.
