Testing out taste

Denver museum researcher breaks down barriers for volunteers

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, a small research lab is looking into how a person’s genetics affects his or her sense of taste. The research can help determine how people can pair healthy food with other things to make it taste better.

But for Nicole Garneau, the study is also a way to bring more people to the table when it comes to science.

Garneau is curator of health

sciences at DMNS. She first came to Colorado in 2004 when she was studying microbiology, specifically viruses, at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

The techniques for researching genetics are the same, but when Garneau joined the staff at DMNS, she joked that she “species hopped” from viruses to humans.

What drew her to the museum, Garneau said, was the opportunity to communicate with the public.

Although Garneau loves research, she also wants to show the

everyday person how science can impact lives. The museum is an example of a place doing science “for the people, by the people.” But with genetics, there can be a little bit of a learning curve, she said.

“We found through evaluations it’s incredibly hard to teach people about genetics when they’re not having it applied to their life,” Garneau said. “Everyone associates genetics with disease, when really it’s you. It’s part of you right now.”

Kari Eckert lost her 15-year-old son, Robbie, to suicide five months ago. The Lakewood High School student was an athlete, a leader, everyone’s friend, Eckert said. She saw no signs of struggle.

“Robbie struggled silently and he suffered alone,” said Eckert, sitting in a small room at the state Capitol on March 21, an hour before a bill aimed at curbing youth suicide would go to a Senate committee for debate.

The Senate Health and Human Services Committee unanimously agreed to send the bill to the Senate Committee on Appropriations.

Eckert was joined by parent Leslie Kobi, who spent eight years fighting for her son’s mental health, and Heidi Baskfield, vice president of Population Health and Advocacy at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Also in attendance at the intimate press conference were Sen. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, and Rep. Lois Landgraf, R-Colorado Springs, sponsors of Senate Bill 19-195.

The bipartisan bill addresses what public officials and health experts call a youth mental health crisis. In Colorado, suicide is the leading cause of death for people ages 10-24, and one in six teens has a diagnosable mental health condition, Children’s Hospital reports.

DeGette talks politics with Englewood High students Congresswoman doesn’t shy away from Trump, immigration

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood High School students didn’t need a trip to Washington, D.C., to get a taste of Congress.

Congress came to them.

U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, who represents Denver, Englewood and nearby areas, addressed several dozen juniors and seniors at EHS on March 15.

The congresswoman didn’t take long to begin talking about her immigration priorities, telling the story of a refugee who came north through Mexico to escape dangers of human trafficking.

“She saw the hope of the United States to give a better future for her children,” said DeGette, who identified herself during the talk as a “progressive Democrat.”

She also didn’t shy away from President Donald Trump, climate change and gun regulation. DeGette mentioned her oversight power in Congress over the federal government in examining Trump’s policy of separating families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“I held their feet to the fire,” DeGette told the audience.

She then mentioned a new effort in

Students in the audience showed their political knowledge, asking questions about the “green new deal,” a controversial effort to invest in cleanenergy jobs and to push for a wider economic safety net.

DeGette talked at further length about her stance on immigration during the question-and-answer session, saying immigrants contribute tax revenue to the economy and that the country doesn’t have enough people who will fill jobs in sectors like agriculture and landscaping.

“We’re a nation of immigrants,” DeGette said. “Unless you’re a Native American, you (came from) immigrants.”

“I think we need a bill to ban assault weapons,” DeGette said, noting Columbine High School is in her district.

“I really believe we need a red-flag law to confiscate guns from” the mentally unstable.

DeGette’s area, Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, includes Denver, Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Bow Mar and unincorporated areas west of Littleton, such as Columbine.

Barnhouse Tap bar aims to ‘redefine Broadway’ Local owners want businesses to foster ‘community spirit’ on thoroughfare

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Picture a lower South Broadway in Englewood where pedestrians leisurely walk and bike, a farmer’s market doles out food in an open lot, art covers more building walls and a rooftop patio shows patrons mountain views.

That vision isn’t complete yet, but Jason Sakry and Dagan Thomas say they’ve taken a dead patch on South Broadway and given it life again.

“We’d love to have Englewood influence on the Broadway renewal,” said Sakry, a former Englewood Schools Board of Education member.

“We just want to encourage local businesses and community members to redefine Broadway as the renewal moves south from Denver.”

The wave of redevelopment can be a good thing for the

Jason Sakry, left, and Dagan Thomas stand March 7 in front of the mural on the side of Barnhouse Tap, a bar at 4361 S. Broadway in Englewood. The bar, which opened in December, hopes to establish itself as a go-to place for the surrounding neighborhood.

ELLIS ARNOLD neighborhood, argues Sakry, an Englewood resident who co-owns a multi-unit business property on the 4300 block of South Broadway, near Quincy Avenue.

“We met on the school board,” said Thomas, also a former board member and Englewood resident. “We jokingly said, ‘Hey, what if we developed a block?’ ” The rest, it appears, is histo-

ry in motion: The two started Working Capital, a property management company that owns the building where they opened Barnhouse Tap, a bar on the long stretch of Broadway south of Hampden Avenue that’s home to a hodgepodge of businesses.

But the local partners hope they can forge a neighborhood identity on the block just a mile south of the downtown

Englewood area of Broadway, where new bars and restaurants have redefined the face of the historic 3400 block.

And their first stab at that goal keeps in mind what Sakry called the atmosphere of “a small town surrounded by the big city.”

“We want businesses to foster that community spirit — neighbors meeting neighbors,” said Sakry, 41, as opposed to establishments that serve the passing traffic.

“We want to encourage people to spend time at a place (with) face-to-face connection.

“It’s been cool to see how many of our customers live within a few blocks,” Sakry said.

The bar’s building materials themselves carry a sense of community. Sakry’s friend in Minnesota had a barn, and Sakry, Thomas and a team helped tear it down over two months and took materials back to Englewood. The wood at Barnhouse Tap comes from that barn, and the tin on the bar and patio once was the barn’s roofing.

The sweeping, barn-themed mural on the side of the building — easily among the most notable features of Broadway for miles around — also

comes with an added thrust of meaning.

It’s a nod to “embrace that Englewood is an art town,” Thomas, 41, said. Along with murals on the other side of Broadway, the partners hope the block can keep “battling beige” and liven up the thoroughfare.

But they’re also thinking bigger: They aim to contribute to a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly Englewood, hoping to dovetail with potential changes to encourage a more active Broadway corridor.

“We want to make Broadway more walkable again,” Sakry said. “We want an easy and approachable place for Swedish (Medical Center) and Craig (Hospital) workers … bike paths, encouraging more walking.”

He referenced a “healthy corridors” effort by the Urban Land Institute, a network of real-estate industry experts that has studied potential for better development in Englewood. A ULI panel gave advice on improving the Broadway corridor, including public improvements like bicycle connections in the downtown area.

Your home is likely your greatest asset, and yet the money that is in the home, your housing wealth, is tied up with no way to access it unless you sell the home.

However, most seniors want to stay in their home forever.

Kathy Muni Other seniors are well into retirement and have a monthly mortgage payment that, as the years go on, feels like it is strangling them.

If you have a large monthly house payment and would like to eliminate it, then you can also use the wealth in your home to eliminate your monthly mortgage payment.

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage converts some of your equity into a usable asset – either as a lump sum of cash, a growing line of credit, a monthly income stream, or a combination of the three.

At least one borrower must be 62 years old or older, and you need to have around 50% equity in your home, so if you have a mortgage you can still tap into your housing wealth. Income and credit qualifications are adjusted to accommodate senior homeowners, and

bruised credit is often no problem.

The amount of equity you can draw is established by the age of the youngest borrower, the value of the property and what is owed. Substantial equity always remains in the home. This is your housing wealth. No one owns the home but you, and you will the property to your heirs who never inherit any debt.

Lawmakers seek ballot question on roads, schools funding Voters would decide in November if state could keep excess tax revenue

All nominated businesses have an equal opportunity of winning, no purchase required. Please see voting website for complete contest rules and regulations.

Colorado’s Democratic House speaker said she wants to ask voters this November if the state government can keep excess tax revenue to spend in future years on underfunded roads and schools.

House Bill 19-1257 would ask voters if the state can keep revenue it currently is required to return to taxpayers under the 1992 Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, state Rep. KC Becker, D-Boulder, told reporters on March 20.

A companion bill, HB 19-1258, would allocate any of that excess revenue in thirds to transportation infrastructure, K-12 schools and higher education each year.

Coloradans voted in 2005 to let the state avoid tax refunds for a five-year period. The new ballot question would make the change in tax law permanent, Becker said.

Becker called the initiative “a common-sense first step,” but not a permanent solution, to investing in schools and roads that have been underfunded for years because of Colorado’s inability to raise taxes without voter approval.

Democratic Sen. Lois Court, of Denver, and Republican Sen. Kevin Priola, of Brighton, joined Becker in announcing the initiative. They said

TASTE FROM PAGE 1

That’s where the Genes and Grains study came in. The study brought volunteers to see how the TAS2R4 gene affects the taste of wheat. The study is funded by Science Education Partnership Award from the National Institutes of Health.

But the data is only part of the grant from the NIH, Garneau said.

The museum is also looking at how studies use their volunteer scientists.

The research is helping the museum look into how to break down barriers for volunteers, not only in the genetic studies, but in labs as well. Garneau said the research will help bring more diverse groups of people into studies.

On the research side, Garneau said the study is also shaking things up.

In the traditional scientific process, volunteers work in a linear fashion.

They start with a question, do some tests to answer the question, and so on. But that method only works for people who are interested in becoming scientists like herself, Garneau said.

“When you have volunteers, they

they hoped they could build bipartisan support in the Democrat-controlled Legislature. Becker read a message from Democratic Gov. Jared Polis endorsing it.

Colorado voters consistently have rejected ballot measures asking them to raise state taxes for education and other priorities. In November, they defeated an education tax hike and competing measures to raise money for the state’s aging road network.

The constitutional amendment known as TABOR allows government to ask voters to raise taxes or keep excess revenue. Many local municipalities have done so. In November, voters in Lakewood authorized the city to keep excess revenue for public safety and other purposes.

TABOR sets an annual income limit that can trigger tax refunds based on

a formula that involves population and inflation. It’s blamed by many Democrats for contributing to a $9 billion backlog in road projects and a multimillion-dollar debt to schools — all at a time when Colorado’s economy is one of the nation’s strongest.

Colorado Republicans, in contrast, credit TABOR and its tax limits for the strong economy.

Assistant House Minority Leader Kevin Van Winkle, R-Highlands Ranch, called TABOR “an important safeguard against government overreach” in a statement opposing the ballot proposal.

The amount to be retained should a November ballot question pass isn’t known. Becker cited legislative and executive branch forecasts released last week that suggest growth could slow over the next two to three years in part because of trade disputes initiated by the Trump administration and global economic uncertainty.

Republicans began this legislative session wanting to build on a bipartisan effort last year that could generate $2.8 billion for transportation through bonding and direct spending.

That measure will go before voters in November. If it fails, a 2017 law kicks in authorizing $1.9 billion in bonding for roads.

Priola said he hopes to generate Republican support for the new initiative. He noted that Colorado hasn’t raised its 22-cents-per gallon state gasoline tax, a primary funding source for roads, since 1993.

“The power of TABOR is that you can go to the voters and let the voters decide,” Priola said.

have different motivations,” she said.

“What we learned is our community scientists don’t want to be me.”

Instead, the DMNS is catering what the volunteers do to their specific skill sets or interests. Volunteers have been more invested when they feel they are bringing something back to the study, Garneau said.

This new method has also lead to some discoveries in the study.

During data analysis involving the papillae, or bumps on the tongue, volunteers noticed that a 20-year-old method of collecting information was giving subjective results. Without a large number of volunteers looking at the information, that may have been overlooked, Garneau said. The lab has now created a new method of collecting data, which has become the research standard.

Discovering new information was one of Garneau’s goals in the study.

“We really wanted this, the work that the public is being involved in, and our lab is actually something that is going to build the knowledge base of how the human body works,” she said.

In the world of food pairings, Garneau is researching hop roasting in

different beers. Pairing research can be complex, she added. Most scientific pairing data is done in a lab. The problem is that so much of flavor and how a person tastes food can be affected by the world around them, she said. Pairing can help people find a way to eat a food item they wouldn’t typically eat by itself, such as blue cheese.

“Really, it just opens up the doors to how we’re studying flavor,” she said.

“The beauty of a pairing is the sum is so much more than the separate pieces.”

In addition to breaking down barriers in studies, Garneau hopes to reduce barriers for women and minorities interested in making a career in the sciences. The problem is not necessarily getting those people into those fields, she said. It’s supporting them once they are there.

Garneau has personally felt the pressures of fitting into the mold of the ideal scientist. She’s been told to be less bubbly or wear less make-up during presentations and talks she’s giving. Making people feel like they have to change makes them feel like they don’t belong, she said.

“You don’t have to change who you are,” Garneau said, “to be successful.”

‘The power of TABOR is that you can go to the voters and let the voters decide.’

BILL FROM PAGE 1

Over the last decade, the hospital has seen a six-fold increase in admissions to its emergency departments and urgent care locations following a suicide attempt.

Fragmented services, a shortage of screenings and costly care are some of the barriers to adequate mental health care, experts and advocates in the field say.

“Our hospital continues to serve, in a way, as a warehouse for kids with complicated mental health needs because the system is not there to support them out in the community or in their own homes,” Baskfield said.

SB 19-195 — which is also sponsored

by Sen. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, and Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada — aims to create that system.

The bill would create the Office of Children and Youth Behavioral Health Policy Coordination in the governor’s office, along with a commission and advisory council.

The commission would serve as a “behavioral health backbone” for the state, with representation from counties, the Legislature, multiple state departments, the state attorney general’s office and others. It would work to increase public awareness of youth behavioral needs and facilitate collaboration between communities, state departments and political subdivisions, the bill outlines.

The commission’s immediate actions would be to implement cost-effective “wraparound” services — which

‘You can’t put a price tag on any one of these kids.’

Rep. Lois Landgraf, one of the sponsors of the bill

provide a continuum of care for young people with complex needs — develop standardized assessment and screening tools, and design an integrated funding pilot project, according to the bill.

For the 2019-20 fiscal year, the bill would increase state spending by at least $1.3 million, according to the bill’s fiscal note. Over time, legislators say the bill would save $25 million to $30 million by reducing the need for extensive, costly mental health services, such as inpatient care and residential treatment services.

Although the bill has a long way to go before it reaches the governor’s office, backers are confident it will go through.

“I think this is one of, if not the most, important bill we are going to see this session when it comes to health,” Landgraf said. “You can’t put a price tag on any one of these kids.”

Eckert agreed, emphasizing the significance of screening and assessing children for mental health issues.

“If Robbie was asked those questions,” she said of her son, “maybe he would be here.”

At its best, basketball is a wonderful and very simple game. It even can be played one-on-one. That’s what my best friend Mike and I did, hundreds of times in his driveway when we were in high school, in little Greenhills, Ohio, during the years when the nearby University of Cincinnati Bearcats were the men’s powerhouse.

The game has evolved, and it has been tarnished in a number of ways, by recruiting and academic scandals, and diminished (I believe) by what are called “one-and-dones,” with the University of Kentucky leading the way.

The Wildcats have completely different rosters every year.

Winning is an absolute. Coaches can be — and are — fired in mid-season.

There is always some local talent in the tournament games. I think most of us remember where Chauncey Billups went to high school. If not, the answer is at the end. Billups could have gone anywhere he wanted to, and played with a more already-successful program.

Instead, he went just up the road to

the University of Colorado, and made a lot of Buffalos fans happy.

Highlands Ranch High School’s girls’ teams have provided starters for Connecticut and Notre Dame. And then there was Abigail Nellie “Abby” Waner, who attended ThunderRidge, and wound up at Duke.

My men’s team didn’t make it into the tournament this year. And my coach was handed his hat after an unacceptable, mid-season, home loss to Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University Flames.

The search is on for a new coach, and Kentucky’s John Calipari has been rumored. Calipari is a winner, but everywhere he has gone there has been some of that tarnish I mentioned.

Quite understandably, Harry is rooting for the Wofford Terriers this year.

Billups was a George Washington High School Patriot.

The stadium opened in 2016.

Despite requests for a “bird-friendly” exterior design by the Audubon Society and others, the stadium’s designers used highly reflective glass for “aesthetic reasons.”

The stadium is in the Mississippi Flyway route, and resulting bird deaths are double any other building in Minneapolis.

The women’s college basketball season will end in April as well, at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

The arena opened in 1996 (as the Ice Palace), and seats 20,500 for basketball, and it is a much more sensible choice.

struggle or lose, it can become easy to disengage from our beliefs and abandon hope. And even in our successes and victories, we can quickly forget how our faith and hope brought us to the realization of our goals and dreams.

Having faith, faith in anything whether it’s our religious convictions, belief systems, or people could be easier than keeping that faith going over sustained periods of time. However, for some who have lost their hope or faith along the way, we should not minimize the importance of finding that hope again and reestablishing our faith.

Have the faith, keep the faith, share the faith. Have hope, keep the hope, share the hope. Which one is the most important? Which one is the hardest to live in our everyday lives?

having faith and hope. To keep the faith and hope alive, we need to trust in and stay true to our core beliefs in the good times and in the bad times. I think the harder part, is sharing the faith and the hope with others.

It seems more and more each day we live in such a way that we want to maintain a privacy around our faith and beliefs, protect them for ourselves.

It seems like we would rather not share with others how our faith and hope helped us through some of the darkest days and times in our lives.

We would rather not acknowledge or give credit to our faith and hope when good things happen in our lives or as we meet with happiness and success.

My experience and belief tell me that when we do have the courage and conviction to share our faith and hope openly, it moves from being the hardest part to the easiest part of having the faith, keeping the faith, and sharing the faith philosophy.

Tips for spring and summer gardening

By Rooney Bloom Special to Colorado Community Media

I

t’s that time of year, where our hemisphere comes to life, and that means your gardens are ready for some sprucing up, observation, and finally, Take a walk around the yard It’s been months since time has been spent in the garden so it’s important to walk around and observe changes. Maybe the perennials you planted in the fall didn’t make it. This will help you stay ahead of any bare spots or unwanted aesthetics as you prepare to grow.

New plants Colorado has a unique climate, sometimes making it difficult to know when to plant.

Landscaping plants should go in late spring or fall, while edible gardening plants can go in various times of the year from March to September.

Sometimes the weather moves these schedules around.

Prune By removing dead and old plant matter your plants can thrive. Be sure your pruning at proper lengths and times, as each plant is different. A quick google search or email to Rooney Bloom can make all the difference in the life of your plants.

Compost area After trimming and raking, you’ll have organic matter that can be a great addition to other parts of your garden. Most counties offer a composting service, however if not, start one in your backyard! Just remember brown (dead organic matter such as sticks), greens (apple cores, leftover lettuce, grass trimmings) and water!

Never use pesticides These kill and gravely harm creatures/pets, people and our environment. There are a plethora of other ways to address invasive species and unwanted creatures into your garden. Try industrial strength white vinegar for weeds, or planting African marigolds to keep bindweed away! Speaking of...did you know Lavender repels fleas?

planting! By keeping these tips and tricks in mind, you can ensure a healthier more vibrant garden, a garden that will allow birds, bees and other creatures to flourish. I’ve got all the details to keep your gardening flourishing, these are just a few. When in doubt ask for help, after all, plants are living.

Tools A few tools are necessary for proper garden upkeep and care.

A shovel, set of loppers, garden shears and rake will get you started strong. Ensuring these are in your “tool kit” will save you time and money. Make sure you know how to use these tools properly, they’ll become a good ally in the yard.

Organic mulch Mulch assists in suppressing weeds, retaining moisture, and improves soil fertility as it decomposes. Using mulch to top off your veggie garden or flower beds helps, especially in Colorado’s arid climate. BE SURE the mulch your purchasing is organic and hasn’t been treated with dyes.

Editor’s note: Rooney Bloom has been gardening for more than 10 years from east to west coasts, with a focus on landscapes, edible gardens and house-plant care and maintenance. In the winter you can find him in his plant room propagating and organizing his cache of 40,000+ seeds. Contact him on instagram @rooney_bloom or rooneybloom@gmail.com to chat everything plants.

Tips and tricks for starting gardens in spring, early summer

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

H

umanity has always had a connection with the earth, said John Stolzle, a Colorado State University Extension agent in Jefferson County who specializes in horticulture, plant pathology and food systems.

“Gardening is a direct way for people to interact with nature’s processes,” Stolzle said.

However, with the state’s diverse — and often unpredictable — weather, Colorado can present greater challenges to gardeners than many other U.S. states.

Luckily, Stolzle said, “there are a few tips and tricks that can help when starting up spring and summer gardens.”

It all depends on the last frost Planting in Colorado is highly weather dependent and each year is different, Stolzle said.

But one tip to remember is not to start too early, Stolzle said.

“The key, in my opinion, is to be patient,” he said. “And to plant according to the last predicted frost date.”

Because the latter varies regionally, paying close attention to local weather forecasts may be the best bet. In general, gardeners can best-guess that the last frost date will likely be sometime late April or early May, Stolzle said.

PlantTalk Colorado, a resource for Coloradans to find research-based garden-

The GrowHaus’ annual Seed Swap is a way for gardeners and veggie lovers to celebrate the beginning of the growing season.

This year’s event will include workshops, shopping in The GrowHaus’ market and a seed swap of as many seeds that you would like to take home.

GET GARDENING HELP FROM A COLORADO MASTER GARDENER Colorado State University Extension’s Colorado Master Gardeners are volunteers trained in horticulture. Master Gardeners have a plethora of troubleshooting information and advice for new and experienced gardeners, available all year round. There are Extension locations across the state, including every county in the Denver metro area. To learn more or locate your local Extension office, visit www.cmg. colostate.edu/index.shtml. ing information specific to Colorado’s diverse climate, suggests that “people in the Denver metropolitan area normally use Mother’s Day as a guide for when to plant.”

This year, Mother’s Day falls on May 12.

For those who want to get an early start on their gardens, Coloradans can plant seedlings indoors, then transplant them outdoors when the weather is appropriate.

General recommendations on when to start plants indoors range from two to eight weeks before transplantation, Stolzle said. But to get a more exact time frame for each plant, he said, seed packets will usually include the specific recommendations for that plant.

Acclimating plants to the outdoors before planting them outside can also help,

COURTESY OF THE GROWHAUS

Stolzle said.

But to “avoid shocking their systems, plants should be introduced to the outdoors slowly, over time,” Stolzle said.

Grandma’s tip to avoid a freeze The location of a plant, the duration of a cold spell and temperature can all play a part in a plant freezing, Stolzle said.

For example, “plants on the southern side of buildings and south-facing slopes will emerge from the soil relatively sooner, because the location is warmer,” Stolzle said, but “can then be at a greater risk when it comes to frosts.”

A Colorado Master Gardener reference sheet published by Colorado State University Extension notes that “grandma’s old method of covering the garden with blankets and sheets works well as long as the fabric remains dry.”

The cover should be placed in the evening before a frost is suspected, but it must be removed the next day so the sunlight can recharge the soil with heat.

Cool vs. warm season veggies “Knowing the difference between cool and warm season vegetables can save a lot of headache,” Stolzle said.

“But, in all of these cases, a cold, hard freeze will likely kill any plants left out or left unprotected.”

Hardy, cool season vegetables: Hardy, cool season vegetables prefer cooler temperatures and can likely survive a “frosty nip,” Stolzle said. They can be planted outside about two to four weeks before the anticipated last frost date of the season. Examples include onions, some spinach, lettuce, radish and broccoli.

Tender, warm season vegetables: Tender, warm season vegetables do not tolerate frost and need higher temperatures to grow well, Stolzle said. They should be planted when daytime temperatures are above at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Examples include cucumbers, New Zealand spinach and summer squash.

Sensitive vegetables: Some vegetables are even more sensitive than the tender, warm season vegeta-

bles, Stolzle said. These can only tolerate a low temperature of about 60 degrees Fahrenheit and prefer temperatures between about 70 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Examples include tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, watermelon and eggplant.

GrowHaus annual Seed Swap “The weather is warming up and spring is almost here,” said Nathan Mackenzie, the director of development for The GrowHaus, a nonprofit indoor farm in Denver that has a mission to ensure everyone has access to healthy food.

Approaching the cusp of the growing season, The GrowHaus’ annual Seed Swap is a way for all gardeners and veggie lovers to get access “to as many seeds as you want to take home,” Mackenzie said.

“But it’s much more than just getting seeds,” Mackenzie said. “It’s all about bringing people together from all across Denver to celebrate the start of the growing season and the community we build through food.”

Elway insists Flacco is still in his prime

BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS

John Elway insists Joe Flacco is at the top of his game at age 34 even though the former Baltimore Ravens quarterback hasn’t thrown a pass in the playoffs since 2015.

“Joe is a perfect fit for us,” Elway said at Flacco’s recent introductory news conference. “He’s played in a lot of big games, he has a lot of good football left in him. At 34, (I) feel like he’s just really coming into his prime.”

That echoed comments Elway made earlier when he told the NFL Network that Flacco’s “arm strength is still great” and “he’s just going into his prime,” even though the veteran QB was supplanted by rookie Lamar Jackson last season and didn’t play in the Ravens’ wild-card loss to the Chargers.

Elway, who sent a fourth-round pick to Baltimore for Flacco in a deal worked out a few weeks ago, trusts he’s finally found a worthy successor to Peyton Manning — another Super Bowl winner who came to Denver for the second chapter of his storied career.

Flacco said he’d love to reach out to Manning as he tries to follow his lead in Denver.

“I am new to this. It’s completely different and obviously I’m going to find my way through it mostly on my own,” Flacco said. “But ... it would probably be a huge benefit to talk to somebody like him, who has not only gone through it but has been successful.”

It also appears Elway is trying hard to sell his latest quarterback acquisi-

tion to an antsy and skeptical fan base that has suffered through Mark Sanchez’s flop, Trevor Siemian’s fall, Brock Osweiler’s flounder, Paxton Lynch’s fiasco, Case Keenum’s failure and Chad Kelly’s flameout in the three years since Manning retired.

No matter the motivation, Flacco appreciates Elway’s endorsement .

“I definitely feel that way,” Flacco said of being in his prime. “So, it feels good to hear somebody say that.

I mean, shoot, with Tom Brady now, quarterbacks are playing until they’re about 60 years old.”

Flacco, who’s 7 1/2 years younger than Brady, said he’s healthy and hardy and can’t wait to get going.

“I’m as healthy as I can be, as a physical and ready to go as ever,” Flacco said. “So, I’m excited about what lies ahead for me and my future. I’m not putting a number on how much I’ve got left to play. I’m going to play as long as I can and hopefully they’re dragging me out of this building a long time from now.”

Flacco, whose last playoff appearance was a 35-31 loss at New England on Jan. 10, 2015, has three years and $63 million left on his contract with a 2019 salary of $18.5 million.

Flacco missed just six games in his first decade in the NFL and was Baltimore’s starter last season until he injured his right hip in a loss at Pittsburgh on Nov. 4. Jackson took over and went 6-1 to get the Ravens into the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 season.

“If I have to reflect back on that time in Baltimore, it was not very fun.

It was miserable sitting there on the bench and not being able to contribute, not really feeling like you’re a part of the team,” Flacco said.

And the partners hope for a restaurant, perhaps one interested in a rooftop patio, as a tenant for a part of their building that becomes available later this year.

Some outsiders who decided to drop in to Barnhouse on an early March afternoon were Grant Dawkins, 29, and Katy Robinson, 28, both from Denver. They came for the first time after hearing about the bar from friends who enjoyed it, Robinson said.

The Ravens went 106-72 with Flacco as a starter, including the postseason, where his 10 playoff victories since 2008 rank second behind Brady among active quarterbacks. Nobody has more road playoff wins than Flacco’s seven.

Flacco heaved a 70-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones in the final minute of regulation when safety Rahim Moore mistimed his jump while going for the interception instead of the tackle. That play represents the Broncos’ Bill Buckner moment and it propelled the Ravens to their second Super Bowl title a month later.

Flacco said he’s still driven by his love for the game, not by his disappointing end in Baltimore.

“I’m really not trying to think too much about my past and why I’m here,” he said.

“I’m really just trying to be excited for the fact that I am here and the offense that we’re getting ready to run and the team we’re getting ready to build.”
