‘He meant so much to this community’ Denver Broncos honor late owner Pat Bowlen

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Jan. 25, 1998, Littleton residents Sandy and David Alexander were sitting at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego as they witnessed the Denver Broncos win the franchise’s first Super Bowl. Following the game, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen handed over the Lombardi Trophy, awarded to Super

Bowl winners, to quarterback John Elway, saying “This one is for John.”

Following the Broncos’ Super Bowl victory in 2016, Elway, now general manager and president of football operations for the team, held the Lombardi Trophy and said, “This one is for Pat.” Bowlen, who had been fighting Alzheimer’s disease, died on June 13 at the age of 75. On June 18, there was a free, open-house tribute at Broncos Stadium at Mile High.

Littleton residents David and Sandy Alexander have been Broncos season ticket owners for 45 years.

Eight days a year, the parking lots around Broncos Stadium at Mile High are packed with people cheering, drinking, scalping, holding barbecues and playing cornhole. The Platte River trail is full of fans walking and biking, and RTD trains are packed.

But most of the year, crickets.

The Denver City Council passed the Stadium District Master Plan on June 17. It aims to energize the area year-round by building a new neighborhood over the next 20 years. The 90-page vision sets the tone of — and opens the gates to — development.

Public parks and places to live, work, shop and dine are in the cards.

The Hancock administration wants to see a 70-acre, mixed-income neighborhood scaled for walking and biking, anchored by the stadium and two nearby light rail stations. Mile High’s southern surface lots, Old West Colfax Avenue, Lakewood Gulch and the South Platte River co-star in the future stadium district, which will see buildings between five and 30 stories high.

Tree-lined streets with wide sidewalks and, sometimes, bikeways will contribute to a grid of two-way streets.

Landmark silos see last days on Santa Fe The Rio Grande Co. silos were built in the 1920s and stored coal to heat homes

How a building becomes a landmark

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s difficult to miss the large Rio Grande Co. silos that tower over Santa Fe Drive at 201 Santa Fe Drive.

The green structure on top of the six towers has been a staple of the Baker neighborhood skyline for decades.

But soon, the silos will be no more.

In April, Rio Grande Co. began applying for demolitions permits through the city.

Dave Wenman, president at Rio Grande, said the silos are made of metal, wood, concrete and rebar, and were built nearly 100 years ago. Over time, those materials have begun to deteriorate.

When the silos were built in the mid-1920s they were used to store coal.

John Olson, deputy director of Historic Denver, a nonprofit that helps to identify and preserve historic buildings in the city, said the silos were the most efficient way of storing coal at the time. Each time shovels were used to load coal, it degraded the quality, he said. With the silos, trucks could be loaded without shovels and then transported to homes in Denver where coal was used for heating.

“It shows that there was some innovation going on,” Olson said. “This was a

Rio Grande Co. has begun the permitting process to demolish the silos that sit on its property at 201 Santa Fe Dr. KAILYN LAMB way that as few hands needed to touch it as possible.”

In the 1950s when coal was no longer used to heat as many homes, Rio Grande began using the lower levels of the silos for storage.

The silos have not been used much by the company in recent years, Wenman said. That, coupled with the structure’s proximity to a light-rail line, drove the company to have the silos evaluated.

Wenman said an engineering firm recommended demolition to prevent any unexpected events.

“We have been a part of the Baker neighborhood for over 125 years, we take our responsibility to keep our neighbors, employees, customers and community safe very seriously,” Wenman said in an email. “So we are acting on the engineering firm’s recommendation to remove the silos before something unexpected happens.”

In April 2018, the company applied to the city to have the structure be given

nonhistoric status. The application helps jumpstart the demolition process.

Through city policy, buildings that have applied for this status are listed on Denver’s website, informing residents and neighbors of potential demolitions.

People can then decide to apply for historic designation through the city and

prevent a demolition.

Abbey Christman, a senior city planner with Denver’s Landmark Preservation office said buildings must fit into at least two of three criteria to SEE SILOS, P4

Polis orders more vaccine info, but avoids mandatory shots State officials pin hopes on education, increasing access for poor and rural residents

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado’s governor issued an executive order June 13 designed to address the state’s poor vaccination rates for children, but he insisted that he will respect existing religious and personal exemptions for parents unwilling to inoculate their children against communicable diseases.

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis’ order came as new state data suggest Colorado ranks near the bottom for immunization rates among U.S. states. It also comes amid a national resurgence of measles that has affected more than 1,000 people, according Polis to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Some 87.4% of Colorado kindergarten students had vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella in the 2018-19 school year, down 1.3 percentage points from the previous year, according to the state Department of Public Health and Environment. For highly contagious measles, the CDC

The state allows parents to opt out of required school vaccinations for medical, religious and philosophical reasons. Polis, who’s described himself as a libertarian Democrat, stressed June 13 he won’t change that policy.

“We believe that Colorado families should be making their own health care decisions,” he said. “We really view this as the third way between the government forcing people to get shots, which is counterproductive, and simply allowing these rates to go down, which is counterproductive to the public health and results in people dying.”

This spring, hundreds of parents, their children in tow, swarmed the Colorado Capitol to oppose a bill that would have made it harder to qualify for religious or personal exemptions.

The bill stalled in the Legislature.

17 county jails receive funding for opioid treatment STAFF REPORT

The Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health has awarded funding to 17 county jails to continue or initiate medication-assisted treatment for people with opioid-use disorder.

According to a news release, the state is awarding nearly $1.9 million to the 17 county sheriff ’s offices that applied for MAT funding through Sept. 29, 2020. MAT combines medication with behavioral therapy and is considered to be the most effective way to treat opioiduse disorder, the release said.

Up to this point, the Office of Behavioral Health has funded medication-assisted treatment services in five of the 17 county jails: Boulder, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson and Pueblo. Nearly 500 people received medicationassisted treatment before or upon release from jail through this funding since 2017.

FUNDED COUNTIES The 17 counties being funded and dollar amounts are as follows: Arapahoe, $150,000 Boulder, $150,000 Conejos, $60,000

Denver, $150,000 Douglas, $150,000 Eagle, $60,000 El Paso, $150,000 Fremont, $150,000 Garfield, $100,000 Gilpin, $60,000

“In Colorado we continue to increase the availability of MAT services statewide for those who need it, including treatment for people who are incarcerated, in many cases as a result of their addiction,” Robert Werthwein, director of the Office of Behavioral Health, said in the release. “We know that the risk of opioid overdose drastically increases after a period of abstinence such as incarceration, and intervening at this juncture is key to our efforts to reduce overdoses.”

A recent study in North Carolina found that in the first two weeks after being released from prison, former inmates were 40

Jefferson, $60,000 La Plata, $60,000 Larimer, $150,000 Mesa, $150,000 Moffat, $60,000 Pueblo, $150,000 Summit, $60,000

times more likely to die of an opioid overdose than others, the release said.

When looking at heroin-specific overdoses in the same population, the study found that formerly incarcerated individuals’ likelihood of overdose death increased to 74 times the norm within the first two weeks after release, the release said.

The Office of Behavioral Health is providing the funding through the State Opioid Response Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and thanks to recently passed legislation (SB 19-008), Colorado has ensured this funding can continue even after the grant is over.

be given historic designation under city code: architectural, historical or geographical.

Christman said the silos could have fit under all three categories. Since the Rio Grande Co. was founded in Denver in 1893, the business has been significant to the history of Denver and the industrial movement. Silos are architecturally significant because of their use of rebars at the time, Christman said. Geographically, the structures are a landmark to help people identify where they are in the city.

After Rio Grande applied for nonhistoric status last year, Historic Denver began working with the company to see if there was a way to save the structure.

Rio Grande agreed to withdraw the application in favor of working with Historic Denver and the Baker Historic Neighborhood Association to see if there was a way to save the silos.

Olson said the nonprofit was grateful Rio Grande was willing to sit and have a conversation on the silos. Once an application has been filed, residents have two to three weeks to put together an application for historic designation. There is also a $875 fee for nonproperty owners. The short timeline is often a struggle

Since 1893, Rio Grande has been run by four generations of the Peterson family: Erik, Elmer, Donald and Bruce.

Rio Grande now supplies building materials and equipment. For more information on the company, go to https://riograndeco.com/. for residents, Olson said.

“By withdrawing, it gave everybody the time to have a conversation,” Olson said.

Those conversations mainly revolved around finding a new use for the silos. Advertising was one idea that was tossed around, Olson said. But the size and shape of the silos made it difficult to find a use that fit for Rio Grande, and “use is paramount,” Olson said.

Wenman said the company also looked into restoring the silos, but the engineering firm the company worked with said it would be impractical. He expects the demolition will happen this summer.

Although Olson said he was disappointed they couldn’t find a use for the silos, he’s still hopeful the structures may survive.

“It’s not gone,” he said, “until it’s gone.”

State high court clears path for TABOR ballot issue Group hopes to persuade voters to get rid of amendment approved in 1992

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Proponents of a Colorado ballot initiative to eliminate a constitutional amendment that strictly limits government’s ability to tax and spend can proceed with their campaign to put the question on the 2020 ballot, the state’s Supreme Court ruled in a decision released June 17.

Justices ruled 5-2 that the Title Board, which vets ballot questions put forward by citizens and lawmakers, erred in rejecting the 2020 initiative to ask voters to eliminate the 1992 Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

The board determined in January that the proposal violated a requirement that ballot questions focus

on a single subject. TABOR, as the 1992 voter-approved amendment is known, affects a complex array of taxation, bonding and spending issues.

Generally, TABOR requires voter approval for increasing taxes, issuing bonds, and spending by local and state government. It requires refunds of taxes in excess of annual limits. Critics blame it for chronic state underinvestment in education and roads. Supporters credit it for imposing fiscal discipline on elected officials and for limiting taxes.

Colorado’s Democratic-controlled Legislature has placed a measure on the November 2019 ballot to ask voters if the state can retain excess tax revenue. House Speaker KC Becker argued the state should do all it can — especially at a time of sustained economic growth — to address underfunded priorities.

Most Republicans long have defended TABOR, crediting it in large part for Colorado’s strong economy, which grew by 3.5% in 2017.

The Supreme Court ordered the

Title Board to certify the repeal question so proponents can begin collecting the more than 124,000 voter signatures required to put the question on the 2020 ballot.

The liberal Denver-based Colorado Fiscal Institute is behind the initiative and challenged the board’s decision in court. Institute executive director Carol Hedges said Monday that TABOR “has made Colorado an outlier among U.S. states in the way we raise money for investment in our communities.”

“We’re the only state in the country that has limited the authority and responsibility of our elected officials to determine how to tax and whom to tax,” Hedges said. “Very few other states say that when the economy is booming, they can’t save more or expand their investment of tax dollars.”

organizations have been calling for an end to the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights for years,” said Jesse Mallory, Colorado director for the conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity. “Now they get their chance to try to convince the people of Colorado that they don’t deserve to vote on tax increases — a right AFP firmly believes Coloradans should have.”

In the majority opinion, Justice Richard Gabriel wrote that the “initiative could not be written more simply or directly. It essentially asks voters a single question: Should TABOR be repealed in full?”

In her dissent, Justice Monica Marquez said the decision “defies logic, the constitution, and decades of this court’s case law” on the single-subject rule, which was adopted by voters in 1994. Justice Brian Boatright joined the dissent.

STOP CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN

Age in Place with a Reverse Mortgage “I’ve lived in my home for over 30 years.

I didn’t want to leave it, and go where I didn’t know the neighbors. A reverse mortgage allowed me to have the security of staying in my home without a mortgage payment. What a relief!” KS, Denver Aging in place is a benefit to many seniors. The ability to maintain the familiarity with the neighborhood, and routine of life can reduce stress and add years.

For many seniors who are living longer, the question is, “How do I fund my longevity?” Spouses are thinking about what will happen when one of them passes away. Will the surviving spouse be able to stay in the home comfortably? The answer is often “Yes!” when a reverse mortgage has been put in place to ensure there is no mortgage payment and often, a sum of money available to the surviving spouse.

The bank never owns the home and the property may be willed to the heirs.

Because a reverse mortgage is FHA insured, it is a non-recourse loan. No one is saddled with debt because of the reverse

mortgage. As a financial tool, a reverse mortgage is a wise choice in many cases providing relief from financial pressure in the near-term, and greater financial security in the long-term.

“A reverse mortgage is basically a tax-free advance on your home equity,” writes Robert Massi. “For some people, a reverse mortgage can offer financial freedom to enjoy their later years without worrying about income. For others, it can provide much needed help for staying in their homes.” The money from a reverse mortgage can be used for any purpose.

BOWLEN

FROM PAGE 1

More than 5,000 people came to the tribute to honor the life of Bowlen.

The team had artifacts on display, including Bowlen’s fur coat, the team’s Lombardi trophies, game balls and more.

“He gave us a winning team that we didn’t have before. He put together some of the best teams we’ve ever had,” said David Alexander, who has had season tickets for Broncos games for 45 years with Sandy.

Outside of football, Bowlen made

significant contributions to the Denver Boys & Girls Club and donated more than $35 million to charitable organizations in Denver since 1993.

“He was a real gentleman to everyone,” Sandy Alexander said. “We’ve been around the Broncos for years and he was just an upstanding man, and it was hard to see what happened to him.”

Bowlen will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 3 along with former Denver Broncos player Champ Bailey.

“It feels like someone I had met died,” Denver resident Hugo Ramirez said. “He meant so much to this community and to this city.”

Among the artifacts on display were Bowlen’s fur coat and his suit.

STADIUM FROM PAGE 1

More than 1,300 people participated in the public process, according to the project team. Seven area neighborhood organizations endorsed the plan.

Street designs will prioritize people walking and biking over cars, the document states, if all goes according to plan.

Parking lots left vacant for almost every day of the year are the right place for dense development, City Councilwoman Robin Kniech said, as long as playmakers follow the plan.

“Every story that is built here reduces pressures elsewhere,” Kniech said.

Planned Denver, however, doesn’t always equate to real Denver. The planning department’s shelves are lined with documents full of ideas that have not been realized, at least not yet.

The blueprint recommends things but doesn’t require them. For example, apartment buildings above five stories should contain affordable homes in exchange for extra height, the document states. But it’s up to future development agreements and city council actions to ensure it happens. Same with capping parking spots to deter traffic. Same with luring grocery stores with incentives.

Jason Whitlock, project manager with Denver Community Planning and Development, said the document is a guide, not a rigid prescription.

“The first step to make this (development) environment happen is the plan itself,” Whitlock said. “I don’t want to diminish the plan as a guiding document.”

Observers differ on outlook Servicios de la Raza Executive Director Rudy Gonzalez said the 13-month process was “probably one of the most inclusive processes that I’ve been a part of in my life.” He looks forward to “housing that lets dishwashers to CEOs live where they work,” he said.

But Phillip Kaspar, who has lived in Sun Valley for more than 20 years, said he’s skeptical of the Metropolitan Football Stadium District, a government body created to build and maintain the Broncos arena with taxpayer funds. The MFSD owns most of the land around the stadium.

“I don’t believe that (the plan) is ready yet because, from history, the stadium district has not acted in good faith,” Kaspar said. “They don’t do what it takes in their own community to mitigate impacts … and now they want to add more traffic?”

The timeline for the neighborhood’s buildout will hinge largely on the private sector.

The Metropolitan District, the Broncos and the city government will negotiate infill with developers. A master developer may coordinate the infill, but no one is at the table yet, according to Mac Freeman, Broncos chief commercial officer.

The Metropolitan District would essentially lease the land for development and use profits for $750 million in stadium maintenance over the next

20 years, said Matt Sugar, director of stadium affairs for the Metropolitan District.

“The whole idea is to not have to go back to the taxpayers for the maintenance and operations of the stadium over a long period of time,” Sugar said.

The stadium district is one of three big pieces to a giant puzzle getting put together downtown and on the westside.

Like the River Mile neighborhood poised to supplant Elitch Gardens, the stadium district will be a neighborhood essentially built from scratch.

Add the redevelopment of Sun Valley to the mix, and you have a massive swath of future change.

With development talk comes displacement talk. More than 31% of people in the area live in poverty, according to the planning department.

Forty-six percent identify as Latino, 41% identify as white and 8% identify as black.

“Diversity and inclusion need to be maintained to make sure they become a priority and don’t get lost in the process,” said Jose Beteta, a Sun Valley business owner who supports the plan overall.

While the plan recommends on-site affordable housing requirements, specifics — how much, how affordable — remain up in the air. But big changes to zoning regulations will likely come next, planner Whitlock said.

A “community benefits agreement” with commitments from developers remains unsigned — in part because no developers have signed up.

“We’re gonna get there and we’re

gonna commit to doing what’s right for this project,” Freeman said.

Northern lots would remain No plans exist to build on the northern parking lots, so traditional tailgating will probably stay put in that area.

Broncos spokesperson Seth Medvin said it’s far too early to talk about how the game day experience will change post-development, given the lack of shovels in the ground.

But it’s hard to imagine tailgating in the southern lots — because they won’t exist. Instead, people might expect a change in the standard tailgating tradition, Whitlock said. Families and friends might replace grilling on concrete with grilling in a park or grabbing food from a local restaurant.

“Experiences could change over the years,” Whitlock said. “They possibly could get even better with incorporating public space.”

City Councilman Paul López, whose district covers includes the stadium area, compared the new Mile High to Coors Field.

“It’s built right smack in the middle of everything,” he said. “Folks don’t remember what it was like — nothing like it is now. And this will generate jobs, opportunity, housing.”

Council passed the document 9-0, with members Council President Jolon Clark and members Albus Brooks, Rafael Espinoza and Chris Herndon absent.

ix words may not seem like a lot, but think of the evocations of “I love you. Or do I?” You have a story, complete with conflict.

Entries in the sixQUIET word story contest DESPERATION came from California, Illinois, Ohio, and Colorado. From a well-known, local radio voice. From an 80-year old, former high school English teacher, and from a 17-year-old aspiring writer.

I received entries Craig Marshall from two notable Smith Colorado artists, and one each from a husband and wife.

Many of the stories were straightforward, a few were oblique, some were witty.

Here are the best ones.

Gretchen Goetz (Santa Monica), submitted, “We have five. Will bring them.” There was no explanation.

It reminded me of the cryptic title of a Jack Nicholson film. If you have

ever wondered what “Five Easy Pieces” means, it refers to the title on a piano recital program that appeared in a scene that was cut.

My high school English teacher, Sharene Schmalz (Cincinnati) sent, “Bunnies lost to the cat today.”

I replied, “After 80 glorious years of Chaucer, Dostoevsky, Faulkner, and Shirley MacLaine, you send a story about tiny field animals being confronted and consumed by a feral cat?”

“Yes.” Anne McWhite (Arvada) wrote, “Climate change solutions: do or die.”

Art McWhite (Arvada) wrote, “Big bang collapse: all’s said done.”

One of my favorites brought a smile with it: “Why do I read your column!” was written by Parker’s Pete Miller. It wasn’t a question, exactly. It seemed like an exasperation.

Painter Amy Metier (Boulder) wrote a six-word mystery: “If your evil twin wants to.”

You might recognize the name Scott Arbough (Castle Rock), who entered a bit of existentialism: “Where you are, there you are.”

Stanley Gould (Castle Rock) took the opportunity to pitch his new “plat-

form for finding and building local communities.”

After “Knowledge Power. Get Knowledge. Get Power,” he added a few hundred additional words about his project.

The most unusual entry was submitted by Ken Faig Jr. (Glenview, Illinois).

It consisted of six mathematical symbols that translate to, “Not no one equals some one.”

Laura H. (Arvada), “Cheap land: Pele erupts, owners burned.”

Kendle Frank (Parker), 17, “Be brave. Contact my restless heart.”

Brett Ganyard (Aurora), “American flags continually at half staff.”

Bill Hines (Highlands Ranch) might have read the news the day he wrote: “Took a hike. Lost at night.”

Rescued Hawaii hiker Amanda Eller eventually apologized for being “irresponsible,” and clarified earlier comments that her ordeal was a “spiritual journey.”

Deb Bollig (Wheat Ridge): “Open door. Spilled drink. Dog barking.”

Ambiguation: Rebekah Holmes (Thornton), “Never left box. Gone by tomorrow.”

Disambiguation: Hilary Perry,

(Highlands Ranch), “The dog ate his poop. Again.”

Stan Syta (Parker): “Ever try running through ball bearings?”

I think Syta was referring to ball bearing balls. The bearings are the housing. However, a run through ball bearings would be challenging too.

Robert Bond (Castle Rock), who works for the “Department of Redundancy Department,” wrote, “Cynical curmudgeons become pessimistic with age.”

Don Martinson (Parker), “Game over, no buzzer, silent loss.”

Assemblage artist Mark Friday (Denver), “Shame! Shame! Radio ventriloquist. Lips move.”

Six little words are capable of implying many more, and they can provide the pleasures of imaginative speculation, like the title of a documentary: “There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane.”

Courage and conviction when faced with conflict

T

here is no avoiding it, there will come a time when we will all face some type of conflict in our lives. We can WINNING could find ourselves WORDS in a conflict over opinions, we may have disagreements at work or at home, and we may even be conflicted in our own heart and mind about doing something or making a difficult decision of some kind.

Michael Norton For some of us, conflicts are no issue at all. We take them on and deal with whatever it is so we can get past it and move on.

For others, conflict is really hard. For those of us who have wrestled with conflict, over time we tend to become conflict avoidant. We will do anything to try and avoid a conflict or we will prolong it until it becomes so bad, we are finally forced to face it. And that

never ends well.

Another strategy for those of us who hate conflict is to wish it away or hope that it will just go away. This strategy typically never works — as a matter of fact, the longer we wait, the worse things usually become.

Some of the best coaching I ever received around this came many years ago. I was encouraged to do the hardest thing first. On any given day, whatever the hardest task or conversation I had to do or have, I should tackle those first. This was great advice and has helped me tremendously over the years. If I didn’t tackle the hard things first, they would occupy my time and I couldn’t focus on the other things I had to do as the hardest ones were still there, creating worry, fear, and doubt in my heart and head. As soon as I got past the hard conversation or difficult task, and any conflict, I was free, mentally and emotionally, and much more productive.

In order to address conflicts and do the hardest things first, we must have courage and conviction. The courage

to say or do what we know is right, and the conviction to stand behind our beliefs. If we are stressed or unhappy about the way certain things are happening, and if we have been trying to avoid a conflict that has been brewing, all we need to do is find that 20 seconds of bravery that it takes to initiate a conversation and take action.

The hope is that the majority of our lives will be spent living conflict free.

Although there are a few people who thrive on conflict and like to even stir the pot a little to create conflict, most of us would prefer to avoid conflict and create harmony wherever we can. We each have a unique personality style and for some, dealing with conflict is easy, for other personality styles, it is much harder. And regardless of our personality style, the best way to deal with conflict is to have the courage and conviction to do what we know is right, rip the Band-Aid off, and deal with the hardest things first.

From the movie “We Bought a Zoo,” Matt Damon’s character Benjamin Mee said it best: “You know, some-

times all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just literally 20 seconds of embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” And that “something great” could be just the thing we need to get past and through any conflict we are facing. That “something great” could be the freedom that we will enjoy from finally doing or saying what we know is true and right.

So how about you? Is there a conflict you are hoping will just go away by itself ? Or have you given yourself the freedom that comes with resolving and dealing with conflict quickly?

Either way I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we have the courage and conviction to address any conflicts we may face, it really will be a better than good week.

Home projects suffer from worker shortage Construction trades have never recovered from exodus during recession

BY KAREN SCHWARTZ ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lynn Osborne has been remodeling two homes. They are different styles, in different states, with different contractors. But there has been one constant: delays due to a shortage of skilled labor.

The two-year remodel of her primary home in Fort Collins was to update and upgrade the 1990s house, and it included a small extension. It was completed last year, except for the landscaping, which is still under way.

That general contractor relied heavily on subcontractors, she said, and sometimes they wouldn’t show, or would arrive days late, or did shoddy work and were fired.

Her remodel of an old family beach retreat in New England took a Sears kit home down to the studs.

The projected completion date was June 2018, but it’s still not done because the contractor, who has been doing most of the work himself, is stretched and inattentive.

“He’d say, `I’ll be out there next week,’ and next week would turn into next month, and next month would be six months,” she said.

Current estimates indicate there are about 300,000 unfilled jobs in the construction industry, and the industry is expected to need an additional 747,000 workers by 2026, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

An August survey of nearly 375 members of the National Kitchen and Bath Association found that almost two-thirds of the respondents said they had difficulties hiring skilled workers in the previous year, and nearly 70% felt the problem had gotten worse since 2016.

“Labor shortages have impacted start dates and completion dates on construction and renovation projects, with NKBA members citing delays on 30% of jobs,” said Bill

Darcy, chief executive officer of the trade association.

A look at 15 different trades found shortages in them all, Darcy said in a telephone interview from NKBA headquarters in Hackettstown, New Jersey. And as with previous years, he said, one of the greatest needs was for carpenters, who do roughin work and framing, and finish carpenters, who hang cabinets, do millwork, put down flooring and install molding.

Finding a quality finishing carpenter was one of the biggest frustrations in Osborne’s Fort Collins remodel.

“One guy got started on the basement and just left, so to find somebody to pick up where he left off was hard,” she said.

The seeds of the current labor shortage were planted during the Great Recession, when a lack of construction jobs prompted many workers to leave the industry.

“Not enough of them have returned to help us close the gap,” Darcy said.

Compounding the problem is the graying of the remaining workforce, with the median age for a construction worker at 42.5 years, according to January figures from the Labor Bureau. It’s estimated that for every five workers retiring from the industry, only one is entering it, said Silvia Lattoz, Governance and Global Relations Senior Manager at NKBA. Younger people aren’t interested in construction careers because they think the jobs don’t pay well, are too dirty or physically demanding, or mistakenly think the jobs don’t use much technology, Lattoz said.

“There’s definitely some kind of stigma tied to this,” she said.

Recruitment efforts underway Players in the industry are ramping up efforts to address the impending crisis, launching incentives to try to recruit new workers, especially young people, to the trades.

The Home Depot Foundation announced last year it was committing $50 million to skilled trades training, with plans to attract 20,000

people by 2028.

“We want to bring shop class back, from coast to coast,” Shannon Gerber, executive director of the foundation, said in a release. The program focuses on supporting veterans, as well as underserved high schools.

Lowe’s last year started offering employees tuition and other incentives to train for jobs such as carpentry, plumbing, and appliance repair. More than 1,350 associates were enrolled in the Track to the Trades program this spring, Lowe’s spokeswoman Jennifer L. Weber said.

In April, Lowe’s and 60 of its suppliers and partners debuted a new program called Generation T, an online marketplace for jobs, apprenticeships and education programs in construction. It’s also on Twitter and Facebook.

“If we don’t fill the existing skilled trade gap, our businesses, homes and communities will suffer,” Weber said.

The National Association of Home Builders, meanwhile, sponsors student chapters in high schools and colleges. The clubs currently have more than 4,500 members.

The NAHB also supports immigration reform. Foreign-born workers were twice as likely to be employed in construction last year as workers born in the United States, according to the Department of Labor.

Legislation pending in Congress would try to ease the construction worker shortage by establishing a visa system to bring in more foreign laborers. Employers would have to prove they couldn’t find U.S. workers, and would have to pay fair wages based on local rates.

“Filling our workforce needs is a key component to boosting our workforce and our economy,” said U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker, a Republican from Pennsylvania, a sponsor.

For a while at least, homeowners and home builders need to resign themselves to the fact that it will likely be harder to get work done, at least for a while.

Home Depot, for instance, said this year it was eliminating the service it had been offering that hired third-party contractors to install roofing, siding, insulation and gutters.

Projects are also likely to get more expensive, as nearly 60% of respondents in the NKBA survey said the shortage was affecting labor costs.

Osborne’s husband previously worked in the construction industry, but even so, she said, they suffered sticker shock when it came to their renovations.

“It’s that market right now,” she said. “You want something done and they throw out a big number, and I guess it’s a matter of, `How badly do you want it done and how soon?’”`

‘Colorado’s Historic Churches’ ready for summer reading Local writer shares photos, stories of state’s houses of worship

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They’re built from wood, brick, adobe, stone and combinations thereof and vary in size from small chapel to ones that seat many hundred parishioners. Many still function every Sunday and at other times their community needs them-for weddings, memorial services and an occasional concert or theatrical production.

Littleton writer, historian and Colorado native Linda Wommack, author of several books of Colorado history, has collected photographs and compiled notes from many of the state’s historic churches and published an account of them: “Colorado’s Historic Churches.”

It will be a nice addition to the Colorado bookshelf — or perhaps readers have a small collection of books they carry in the car as our family did when exploring the many historic mountain towns. It will be nice to step into these buildings, knowing something of their stories.

Mining camps spread across the state, followed in many cases by a railroad that brought other citizens to fill miner’s needs. In many cases, after a town

or mining camp was functioning, especially if there were women involved, some residents sensed that something was missing — a spiritual life. They started up small congregations, meeting in homes or public buildings at first, then led by a particular individual, a committee or a large congregation, found a vacant lot — or an individual would donate a lot in some cases, and/ or lead the way in raising a building.

Many are still used by congregations, but not all.

Some had distinctive shapes and designs and many were constructed in what we call “Carpenter Gothic.” A familiar nearby example is St. Philip in the Field Church on Plum Creek in Douglas County, with its accompanying Bear Canon Cemetery, Wommack writes about builder Newton S. Grout, a New Englander inspired by churches of his youth. The congregation was formed in 1870 and the church and cemetery are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Also listed is Castle Rock’s St. Francis of Assisi Church, which eventually became the Old Stone Church Restaurant when its congregation moved on to a larger facility.

Cover of “Colorado’s Historic Churches” by Linda Wommack.

COURTESY PHOTO Catholic churches across the prairie as towns developed. Wommack writes of the severe weather on the eastern plains in Sterling, where hail demolished the timber Catholic church three times. Parishioners asked Matz to send a resident priest and a brick and stone church was dedicated in 1911, with 500 Catholics in attendance.

The arrival of the railroad in Colorado brought a number of Irish workers and the need for Matz to build a new Denver Catholic parish, built on five lots at the corner of Larimer and Machebeuf streets, located between trolley and rail tracks in the area now called Five Points In Denver, some large churches grew, such as Trinity Methodist Episcopal, designed by Denver’s first licensed architect, Robert S. Roeschlaub, which still stands out on

Broadway. Zion Baptist, the first black congregation, at Ogden and 24th, has celebrated its 150th anniversary.

Wommack writes of Baby Doe Tabor’s connection with Denver’s Sacred Heart Church — and her husband Horace’s deathbed conversion as he lay ill at the Windsor Hotel. That church, supported for many years by Father Casey, became Denver’s first designated historic property by the city council in 1975. The Colorado Historical Society has helped in recent years toward further restoration of the fragile landmark.

In 1882, Temple Emanuel, the first Jewish synagogue, was built, designed by architect Frank E. Edbrooke, “including Moorish and Romanesque details,” the author says. Other major Denver churches followed.

Convent began in 1912 In Littleton, the Carmelite Convent was established in 1912, beginning with the wedding of Jacques B. Benedict and June Brown, who bought an old red brick farm house and began renovations, transforming it into a “Beaux Art-Arts Villa of sorts.” (He also designed Littleton’s Town Hall, Carnegie Library and First Presbyterian Church.) Benedict hired artisans to paint frescos on several walls and hired landscape architect S.R. DeBoer to design the grounds.

Orangetheory campaign supports ALS research STAFF REPORT

Orangetheory Fitness members in the Denver metro area came together to raise money to help find a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

According to a news release, members donated $25 to take 90-minute in-studio Augiethon classes from May 1-15 at all 29 studios across the Front Range, and $124,000 was raised in the metro area. Nationally, Orangetheory raised $4.5 million.

CHURCHES FROM PAGE 11

The couple lived in the Benedict House for 35 years, and after the Benedict’s death, it was given to the Order of Carmelite Nuns, who live and worship there now. Improvements include a chapel, connected by a matching red brick arch.

In the plains, near Julesberg, is the Virginia Dale church, named after the wife of the “notorious Jack Slade.” And in Boulder County, the First Baptist Church is the “finest example of Late Gothic Revival architecture in the state.

Central City, Georgetown, Silver Plume and Breckenridge all developed churches and in the Breckenridge area, the reader learns more about the legendary Methodist preacher Father John Lewis Dyer, who traveled through

Proceeds from each Augiethon were donated to Augie’s Quest, a national organization founded by Augie Nieto to help move a cure-driven drug further down the development pipeline.

Nieto, founder of Life Fitness, was diagnosed with ALS in 2005 and has since made it his mission to find a cure for the disease.

“I am proud of our members, franchisees and studios who joined forces to help those in our community who are facing serious illnesses,” Tim Johnson, Orangetheory representative for Colorado, said in the release. “Our team is extremely grateful to our members and participants at all 29 of our studios who took part in Augiethon and selflessly gave of their time, energy and finances to make a difference in the lives of those struggling with this debilitating disease.” the many mining camps, sometimes on snowshoes, to preach to the residents.

He caused confusion in Breckenridge by ringing the firemen’s bell to call folks to church … with permission of city officials.

Elsewhere in the western part of the state, one reads about Viejo San Acacio Chapel in Costilla County — one of Colorado’s oldest churches, and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Conejos, the first sanctioned Catholic Church in what would become the State of Colorado, where Father Machebeuf said his first Mass “before the dawn, by the light of pinon wood fires,” he wrote…

This large paperback book is crammed with historic photographs, from Wommack’s collection and that of the Denver Public Library and others she has tracked down.

Perhaps it will lead a reader on happy summer excursions in the mountain towns to learn more of their histories.

Robbie’s Hope grants $20,000 to Second Wind Fund Donation helps provide mental health services, suicide prevention resources for teens, youth STAFF REPORT

A $20,000 grant from Robbie’s Hope Foundation will help Second Wind Fund provide mental health services and suicide prevention resources for at-risk teens and youth.

Denver-based Second Wind Fund was chosen as the recipient of the foundation’s first grant because of its focus on local youth under the age of 19 and its emphasis on treatment and suicide prevention, Kari Eckert, executive director of Robbie’s Hope Foundation, said in a news release.

“Teens don’t always know how or where to go to ask for help,” Eckert said in the release. “This is why the work being done by Second Wind Fund is so important. Having access to mental health resources is critical.

Through the services they offer, Second Wind is providing a literal lifeline to those who have lost hope.”

Second Wind Fund provides up to 12 sessions of therapy from a specialized network of providers.

“This grant will allow Second Wind Fund to continue its vital work of pro-

viding treatment services to our youth in our community who are at risk of suicide,” Maureen Johnson, executive director for Second Wind Fund, said in the release. “This generous donation from Robbie’s Hope will have a direct impact on the number of young people we are able to reach.”

Robbie’s Hope Foundation is dedicated to saving lives by cutting teen suicide rates in half by 2028, Eckert said in the release.

“We hope to accomplish this aggressive vision by helping to destigmatize depression and anxiety, while we empower teens with the tools and resources they need to recognize warning signs and exercise early intervention strategies,” Eckert said in the release. “We seek to do this through teen-developed, teen-led structured programming, legislative reform and the support of local resources that specialize in teen therapy, such as the services provided by the Second Wind Fund.”

Robbie’s Hope was formed in early 2019 after 15-year-old Robbie Eckert, a sophomore at Lakewood High School, took his own life on Oct. 11, 2018. The Wheat Ridge-based foundation works to remove the stigma surrounding teen depression, teen anxiety and teen suicide. It supports organizations that specialize in providing mental health therapy to teens and works with schools to develop mental health curriculum. Learn more at www.robbieshope.com.

Robbie’s Hope Foundation donated $20,000 to the Second Wind Fund, which aims to provide greater access to mental health services and suicide prevention resources for at-risk teens and youth.

PUBLIC NOTICES If the court at the trial finds that the facts set out in the petition to terminate parental rights are true and that the termination of your rights will serve the best interest of your child, the court can enter a judgment ending your rights to your child.

If the judgment terminates your parental rights, you will no longer have any rights to your child.

This means that you will not have the right to visit, contact, or have custody of your child or make any decisions affecting your child or your child’s earnings or property. Your child will be legally freed to be adopted by someone else.

Even if your parental rights are terminated: (1) You will still be responsible for providing financial support (child support payments) for your child’s care unless and until your child is adopted; and (2) Your child can still inherit from you unless and until your child is adopted.
