‘Americans are eager for change’ Politicians offer their takes on Biden being inaugurated

BY ERNEST LUNNING DENVER GAZETTE

When galleries had to close, “artists had every one of their shows canceled for an entire season,” Kacena said.

Colorado officials on Jan. 20 marked that day’s inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, with Democrats offering messages of congratulations and conveying determination to tackle the work ahead, while Republicans cautioned the new administration against lurching too far to the left.

Colorado’s two senators, who both ran in the Democratic primary in hopes of taking on former President Donald Trump, spoke of the challenges faced by the incoming administration and cheered Biden’s call to bring the nation together.

“Not since FDR has an administration began with such formidable Bennet challenges — a public health crisis, an economic crisis, a climate crisis, and the most bitter partisan divisions in living memory,” said U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet. “Americans are eager for change. President Biden and Vice President Harris have a historic opportunity to earn the American people’s confidence by leading with integrity, governing with competence, and pursuing an

Opportunities to experience art abound Galleries, artists come up with innovative ways to support the arts through COVID-19 pandemic

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bill Sotomayor is a geomechanical abstract artist. His first local show was set for January at RPO Framing and Gallery, 1588 S. Pearl St.

Years ago — when he was in college — Doug Kacena read somewhere that only about 25% of Americans visit art museums or private art galleries.

Still, Kacena, owner/curator of K Contemporary art gallery, 1412 Wazee St., in lower downtown Denver,

believes that people want to be able to experience art.

The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the public’s ability to access the art experience. But galleries have come up with innovative, creative ways to keep the public engaged.

And because now art can be experienced in more ways than ever before, it’s likely that these creative solutions will go on well past 2021.

Doxxing by Parker man caused fear for woman, family State health employee shares her experience after alarming social media post

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

All it took was the ring of a doorbell for Sarah Tuneberg’s 10-year-old son to burst into tears.

The tension in the Denver home had already felt palpable as Tuneberg was grappling with how to keep her family safe. And now, an Amazon package delivery had sent her child into a panic.

“Are they here?” the boy asked through tears. “Whoever posted your name on the internet?”

It was more than her name that was posted online, however. Tuneberg’s address, along with a note encouraging people to “let them know how you feel” was posted to Facebook by a Parker man Dec. 28.

She had been doxxed.

As a special senior adviser for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s COVID-19 response, Tuneberg had been identified by the man as someone “putting thousands out of work,” and “killing businesses.”

“We’ll see how strong they are at their homes,” wrote Mark Hall, a 2020 Parker Town Council candidate and a co-chair of the Parker Republicans.

Sarah Tuneberg, whose home address was shared online, poses for a portrait on her PHOTO BY ELLIOTT WENZLER front porch.

What followed for the mother of three were calls with the state’s homeland security department, increased police patrols by her home, tears, confusion and an internet binge on the rumors about her that

were now spreading like wildfire.

‘I burst into tears’

Earlier in the day Dec. 28, before she became aware of the doxxing, Tuneberg had sent an email to her colleague letting him know she would be taking 24 hours off to rest and reflect. She was brought on board by Gov. Jared Polis in March to fight the pandemic and expand community testing for the virus.

She’d been working an average of 12- to 14-hour days for months and felt like she was accomplishing some of the best work of her career.

Less than a minute after sending that email, her colleague called her with the news that her name and address had been posted online and that people were being encouraged to come protest at her home.

“I was just like ‘what?’” she said in an interview with Colorado Community Media. “It was so terrifying, I won’t lie. I was so caught off guard and shaken ... I burst into tears.”

Things moved quickly after that.

She was immediately connected with the Colorado Information Analysis Center, a part of the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. They guided her through a flurry of protective steps they recommend when things like this are done to people.

Close the blinds. Take everything off your porch. Lock your doors.

Lock your windows.

All of these measures were being taken because of the actions of a complete stranger in another town.

“I’ve never met Mark Hall in my life. I’ve never heard of him,” Tuneberg said.

A Facebook group called “Revolt Against Shutdowns, Big Box Holidays,” was created Dec. 28. Hall posted in the group that he would, every day, be posting “the name and address of unelected, non-law enforcement officers who think they can flex muscles in businesses.”

“If they want a war, we can give them that,” he wrote.

Hall said he wasn’t advocating for violence, but asked people to show up to the employees’ homes with air horns, honking and signs.

After he posted the addresses of Tuneberg and another CDPHE employee, Hall received comments of encouragement.

“Take the gloves off. This is a bare knuckle war,” one commenter wrote. “Forget the rule book. Jungle rules apply now.”

To this comment, Hall responded “I agree … it will probably come to that.”

Others, however, were furious.

Guided to the post by a 9News story about the doxxing, some commenters criticized the post and Hall.

The next day, Hall took down the post and apologized, saying: “People and small businesses right now are very passionate and concerned about what’s happening with continued shutdowns, and the actions I took were an attempt to express my frustration.”

But by then, Tuneberg’s address had been seen and shared countless times. As far as she knows, no one showed up to protest, but the fear that someone could tuck the information away to use later has already been planted in her mind.

“To be threatened in your home when it’s the only place you can go right now, it was really intense,” Tuneberg said.

Tuneberg, who has called the posting of her address “cowardly,” said it’s ridiculous for Hall to say he wasn’t calling for violence while posting her address and using words like “war” and “revolution.”

Hall declined requests to be interviewed for this story.

‘An internet hole’

The day of rest and relaxation that Tuneberg had planned for suddenly looked very different.

“I’m embarrassed to admit, I fell into an internet hole,” she said.

She went through the “explosion” of messages she was receiving on Twitter and Facebook. She read through comments from people saying she was part of a great conspiracy to depopulate the planet, enslave society and collect people’s DNA through COVID-19 testing. The world sort of fell away, she said.

She explained to her kids what was happening, and took it as an opportunity to talk about how words and actions have consequences, even when you can’t see them, she said.

“I didn’t run for office. I really am just trying to do my best work and it feels so strange to be identified as someone who is worthy of that level of vitriol,” she said.

She has tried to get in touch with Hall — who as of Jan. 18 hadn’t responded or contacted her directly, she said — to let him know the impact of this event on her life, she said.

“I’d like to tell him who I am and what it was like to be on the other end of that and what it was like for my kids,” she said. “I’m just trying really hard in a global pandemic and you, without knowing me … decided I’m an enemy and deserving of incredible consequence in my life.”

Winter of Reading offers adults a way to engage with Denver Public Library Annual library program runs through Feb. 28 this year

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The library is a place where children can have fun and unique experiences, and a place full of study resources for teens and college students.

Now, it’s the adults turn experience the library beyond its books.

While the library’s annual Summer of Adventure program is geared toward youth and their families, the Winter of Reading program is designed specifically for adults age 17 and older. It is an opportunity for adults to be re-introduced to the library’s vast array of literary experiences.

Winter of Reading “offers different ways for adults to engage with their library and other readers in the community,” said Hana Zittel, Denver Public Library’s community engagement and outreach coordinator.

Now in its seventh year, Winter of Reading began on Jan. 2 and runs through Feb. 28. It is a challenge that encourages adults to read and complete free library-related activities for prizes.

The goal is to complete any five activities before Feb. 28.

The program’s activities range from reading a genre of books or stories you are unfamiliar with to creating a postcard and sending it to someone. The variety of activities also allows participants to explore other library services that are addition to reading, such as virtual events, classes and electronic resources such as eBooks, movies and music.

“This is a unique way for us to highlight the offerings the library has for adults,” Zittel said of Winter of Reading.

One way to discover new books through the Winter of Reading is to participate in the Winter of Reading Trivia Walk. To participate, visit Cranmer Park - located at 4501 E. First Ave. in Denver’s Barnum West neighborhood - and walk around the park’s sundial to look for all 10 featured books from the library’s Ross-Cherry Creek Branch.

A fun virtual event part of the program is the Battle of the Books with Author Jim Mustich. This takes place virtually from 5-6 p.m.

Jan. 16. Mustich is the author of “1,000 Books to Read Before You Die,” and at this event, a group of five local panelists will advocate for their favorite book to be included in the audience’s personal list of one thousand books to read. The panelists are author Dr. Elizabeth Renee Fajardo of Metropolitan State University in Denver, Denver City Librarian Michelle Jeske, author Adrian Miller, Colorado Gov. Jared

Participation in Winter of Reading can also be done with the classic paper brochure, which can be downloaded and printed from the library’s website or by requesting one from any branch during curbside hours.

Prizes this year are a neck gaiter,

Or call 720-865-1111 or your local branch location to set up a pick up time.

“The library serves the community in so many ways other than just checking out books,” said Dodie Ownes, adult services librarian at Denver Public Library’s Central Library. “Winter of Reading reintroduces adults to the library in different ways.”

ALEX GONZALEZ

another human being trying to make it, pay my bills, and live my life.

Young artist turns mental turmoil into peace through drawing

Finding peace

Coping through art

I do a lot of abstract art.

It’s what comes out of my head. I have schizoaffective disorder — I was diagnosed in 2018, and art became a therapeutic way to deal with it. It helped me grow as a person.

I’ve been in therapy for three years. Art helps me deal with the breaks from reality I experience. My therapy has taught me a lot of coping mechanisms and grounding skills and how to structure my life better.

My breaks in reality can be so unorganized and messy. To get past it, I have to dissect it. Drawing it out on paper allows me to give my thoughts meaning, put them aside, and move on.

Breaking taboos

My face tattoos came from a belief I had that if I changed how I physically looked, I could reflect that change inside. It sounds

to me. I like that. My tattoos attract the right people and repel the people who won’t understand me.

They do make employment harder. When I first got a job cleaning offices, I was afraid that people wouldn’t like me or find me threatening. I look

out of place in an office setting, but I’ve gotten to know a lot of tenants. My initial assumption about what people would think of me was wrong. People don’t see me as a bad person because I decided to do this. They see the good in me, that I’m just

I want to be content.

We treat happiness as an unachievable destination, but if you’re content and at peace, that’s more empowering. I want to be more at peace with myself.

I want to make something out of my art. I hope to start a clothing brand — I make patches for jackets out of canvas and fabric markers and sew them on. I’m also experimenting with custom finishes like leopard print collars. They look pretty cool.

I had a bit of an epiphany: Every time I make a men’s jacket, I get too attached and I want to keep it. Today I bought a couple women’s jackets to work on, and that way they’re easier to sell when I’m done.

Learn to have compassion for one another. In the tech age, it’s easier than ever to believe stereotypes before you know who someone is.

Not everyone is out to get you. Put yourself in others’ shoes.

It’s Your Money, Use It or Lose It!

by Sam Stroup

No person retires and says “I can’t wait to get into a nursing home and fork over penny I have.”

For most seniors, having the financial resources to live out their entire life exactly how they choose is merely a pipedream. The average monthly cost of care facilities ranges from $5k to $10k per month.* These hefty fees are a harsh reality many are not prepared to face. And, the worst part is, after you run out of money, you are forced to find a new place to live.

The point to all of this I am trying to make is this… Why save all of your money just for the nursing home use it all up in a very short amount of time? Tap into your home’s equity with a reverse mortgage and enjoy life to the best of your ability today.

The money you receive from a reverse mortgage is tax-free and you can use it for whatever you choose.

And, you will remain the owner of you home, not the bank.

VOICES

Six of one, half a dozen of the other, if that’s OK

I

’m sorry.

I’m sorry for what I would say on Twitter if I were on Twitter.

The same goes for Facebook and Instagram and any others I don’t QUIET know about.

DESPERATION Sooner or later, everyone on Twitter apologizes for something. I know I wouldn’t be any different.

I’d say something that was “tone deaf.” (I see the words “tone deaf ” Craig Marshall a lot.)

Smith At first, I’d try to defend what I said, then I’d make up an excuse for what I said.

Then I’d apologize.

It would go something like this: “I want to apologize to the State of Texas and all Texans. What I said about Texas and Texans was tone deaf. I know that now.

“This will not define me. However, I don’t know what will, and

maybe this will define me.”

Perhaps there are plenty of good reasons to have a Twitter account, and they offset all of the negativity I keep reading about.

If I did have an account, I know just what I’d do. I would be up in the middle of the night tweeting exactly what I thought of musicals. “Hamilton.” “Cats.” “Mamma Mia.” For or against? Little Miss beauty pageants, the NRA, the Second Amendment, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, peanut butter, Scientology, chocolate chip ice cream, Quentin Tarantino, motivational speakers, televangelists, situation comedies, Comic Con, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, the Easter Bunny.

My mailbox would explode, implode, spit and fume.

Last week I had a nightmare like no other: I was a contented Douglas County high school art teacher but the principal, Mr. Kafka, decided it was my turn to teach a new course.

“American Patriotism.”

I begged and pleaded: “No, not me. Not now.”

In the first place, I don’t know how to tweet. The word itself isn’t fit for a Runyonesque character like I am.

“Harry, I’m going upstairs to tweet,” would worry the dog.

Not everyone, as we know, apologizes for what they express on Twitter. Some of us never apologize.

Maybe you have noticed? People are far more likely to complain now than they once were. And to complain aggressively.

Some things trigger all of us.

Race and abortion, for examples.

Some things trigger select groups or individuals. Perfume in elevators and gum chewing.

If the whole perfume industry went away, I wouldn’t mind.

Wait. Maybe I should reword that.

Think twice: Do you really want to smell like your off-aunt’s funeral?

See what I mean? I am governed by black coffee and an unnecessary need to engage in pedantic faultfinding.

I’m working on it. There’s a brand

new hair shirt hanging in the closet.

If anyone thinks “We’re all in this together,” they haven’t been paying attention.

Not wanting to stoke further divisions among the citizenry, I am going to try to sit on the fence for a while. Travel the road’s middle. Try to appeal to every man, woman and child. It can be done.

“Offend no one,” will be my motto, my newest tattoo.

I will greet everyone with a smile.

But how will they know I’m smiling behind a mask?

Good question.

The chances of a makeover are practically nil. I have been disputatious since I was a child; unlike my sister, who never complained about our mother’s spaghetti sauce.

Hope and encouragement, love and forgiveness

ecently I was asked about some of the best advice I have received over my career. As I considered my response, I thought about some of the great business minds and strategists who provided guidWINNING ance. I paused for WORDS a moment before answering the question. I wanted to make sure that my answer would reflect how I chose to live my life.

The answer I gave was this, “The best advice I Michael Norton have received is to provide hope and encouragement to all and to offer unconditional love and forgiveness to everyone.” This was a business interview, and I could tell that the gentleman who asked the question was caught off guard. My instinct was right because he tried to clarify that his question was more about business advice and not personal advice.

Pausing one more time, I thought about the response I had provided,

DENVER Since 1926

“Provide others with hope and encouragement and live with unconditional love and forgiveness.” There was a pause on his end, so I asked if I could clarify what I meant and why I believe it was still the best advice I had ever been given personally, professionally, and spiritually. His response came quickly, “Yes, please connect the dots for me.”

Beginning with hope and encouragement I shared that early in my career I was fortunate enough to have worked in a culture of hope and encouragement. From the CEO on down, including my manager, all worked with the spirit of lifting each other up. There was hardly any turnover on the team. And since we know that people don’t leave jobs, they leave their bosses, this was so unique that I knew that I wanted to emulate it in my own career and in my life. Wondering if it was the right approach for the company, the answer is yes, they were successfully acquired.

The attitude of gratitude was abundant. And as I received promotions, I was then responsible for the productivity and care of those on my team. Rule #1 for me was a commitment to creating a culture and

environment based on the foundation of hope and encouragement. If that did not fit with anyone on the team, they were encouraged and free to find success elsewhere.

“OK, this makes sense in that context. But I’m curious, tell me about love and forgiveness in the workplace,” the gentleman continued.

“Let’s not forget that we are talking about unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness that succeeds at home and at work.” That’s important because oftentimes we try and place rules around both.

As we discussed love, I wanted to make sure that he understood that I was not speaking of romantic love, I was speaking about a different kind of love. A love based on appreciation, respect, honor, and a willingness to come alongside each other in the good times, wins, losses, and family emergencies. The kind of love that team members always knew they could count on.

A “family first” approach, whether it was the team’s personal family or the family culture we created on our team.

Unconditional forgiveness works the same way. I have found that most errors made in business never

torpedo a company. Giving team members permission to fail. Unconditional forgiveness is not a “get out of jail free” card. If the mistake crossed the line and hurt the company or the team, a client, or partner significantly enough, there would be consequences. Remembering all the times I had failed and was given grace, given unconditional forgiveness, even if I lost an account or an opportunity. My leadership team always made sure that I was OK first, and then worked with me to identify what went wrong and what I could do better next time. It was not only their advice, they demonstrated it each day.

How about you? What’s the best advice you have received personally or professionally? I would love to hear all about it at mnorton@ tramazing.com and when we can live and work with the spirit of hope and encouragement and unconditional love and forgiveness, it really will be a better than good year.

ART FROM PAGE 1

This created a nearly overwhelming amount of live-stream and social media videos of art being created at home, as artists felt the urgency to get something in front of people, Kacena said.

Although it’s great that technology can assist in providing people an experience with the arts, Kacena said, the amount of videos —and having to choose which to follow — during the shutdown was a lot for the average consumer and even the most experienced art enthusiasts.

Kacena then asked: “How do we take a mindful approach to all this?”

Both for the public’s enjoyment and to support the artists, Kacena realized that more than ever, there was a need to bring the art experience to the people.

He wanted to find a viable way to accomplish that need and thought of the billboard trucks and how they were effective for advertising campaigns. So he made a few phone calls and was able to get a billboard truck to launch a mobile art exhibit that made its way around the city.

Kacena then formed a few partnerships with other organizations, and around Juneteenth — which was June 19, 2020 — put on another mobile event that, in addition to the art on the billboard trucks, featured Cleo Parker Robinson Dance and musicians who were supposed to perform at the Five Points Jazz Festival. Athena Project, a nonprofit that empowers women in the arts, got involved and during the summer, a few more #ArtFindsUs events took place.

“Art is an activator for experience” and “a catalyst for conversation,” Kacena said. “I want to spark that conversation.”

Heading into the New Year, K Contemporary opened two exhibits on Dec. 19. As of Now III celebrates the gallery’s three-year anniversary, and Possibilities features blank canvases placed around the gallery to encourage people to commission their own unique artwork.

“We’re asking people to say, `I want to bring something beautiful to the world next year,’” Kacena said.

Support the arts however you can

Shelley Schreiber is a ceramics artist of southeast Denver who has been teaching at the Art Students League of Denver, 200 Grant St., for about 15 years.

There are many different reasons that people like to take art classes, Schreiber said. For some, it’s to mark something off a bucket list, and for others, it’s the sense of community. Some people take classes to learn a new skill and others do it to enhance a technique, Schreiber said.

The Art Students League closed in March, and reopened in September for limited in-person classes hthat can’t be done virtually, such as ceramics and printmaking. Classes .such as drawing and painting are still being offered virtually.

What has been hardest on the students is having restrictions on their time in the studio, Schreiber said.

The students are used to being able to come in whenever they want and have unlimited access to the studio,

she added.

“But, everybody’s really thankful that they can come in at all,” Schreiber said. “Artists are struggling.

Just being able to do their art is a big deal right now.”

Schreiber believes, however, that when the opportunity comes, people will go back to visiting galleries and museums on a regular basis, taking art classes and attending art fairs and festivals.

But in the meantime, it is important to support artists in whatever way you can, she said. Schreiber suggests viewing art in the avenues available to you, whether it be inperson or virtual.

“Figure out what you like,” she said, “and follow that.”

Also, ask questions, Schreiber added.

“And if you love it, purchase it,” she said.

‘It’s not the art that sells, it’s the individual.’

Bill Sotomayor, a geomechanical abstract artist who lives in Capitol Hill, gave up his corporate job in November 2000 to pursue a career in the arts.

“Never do you understand what a ‘starving artist’ is until you’ve lived it,” Sotomayor said.

He opened a gallery in northwest Denver, but that didn’t work out, he said.

“I realized I wanted to be the artist, not in the business of art,” Sotomayor said.

Sotomayor started creating the geomechanical abstract art he currently focuses on about 10 years ago.

“I love abstraction because it

comes straight from who I am,” Sotomayor said. “It’s not the art that sells, it’s the individual.”

Sotomayor believes that people in the Denver metro area do support the arts, and that once people get more comfortable with going out again, Denver’s art scene is going to “go straight up.”

“People are anxious to get out of their home and see new things,” Sotomayor said.

Sotomayor is looking forward to 2021 and feels honored to be RPO Framing and Gallery’s first artist exhibit. Robert Platz and his wife Julie Lizak took over the business — formerly called Old South Frame and Gallery — at 1588 S. Pearl St. in Denver’s Platt Park neighborhood on Sept. 1. Both Platz and Lizak are artists themselves and they envisioned the gallery highlighting their work and that of other local artists.

Additionally, Sotomayor’s show at RPO Framing and Gallery, which takes place through January and will be following COVID-19 restrictions and social distance precautions, will be his first with his geomechanical abstract art in a Colorado gallery.

Though “people are hungry to engage with others face-to-face,” Sotomayor said, “the pandemic has opened an avenue to do things differently.”

Namely, Sotomayor has gained a worldwide following on his social media accounts where he regularly posts updates on how he creates his art.

Denver’s art scene in the future

Aside from art galleries — which

is a retail business — not being able to host in-person events with the artists during the shutdown, many artists were closed out of their studios, said Bobbi Walker, owner of Walker Fine Art, 300 W 11th Ave., in Denver’s Golden Triangle.

Galleries came up with creative ways to market the exhibitions and artists virtually, and what came out of that was a silver lining for artists, Walker said.

“The pandemic allowed us the opportunity to emphasize the artist’s story behind the art,” Walker said.

“People were able to slow down and take in the story.”

A person can now customize how they experience art, which creates an even more robust experience for the viewer, Walker said. For example, Walker Fine Art has an online viewing room for every exhibit on its website that includes virtual tours and artist-collector dialogue.

The dialogue includes getting to hear the artist speak about their artwork, why collectors collect and the concept behind an exhibit from the curator, for example. The gallery will also be implementing a Zoom panel discussion, which will be available for its upcoming exhibit, Upon Closer Reflection, available to view beginning Jan. 15.

Pop-up and mobile art exhibits like #ArtFindsUs and the new hybrid experience of in-person and virtual viewing are something that Walker believes will likely carry on through 2021 and beyond.

And, of course, it’s up to the community to keep the arts vibrant in Denver.

“The community needs to rally around the arts,” Walker said. “Arts and culture is critical to our understanding of humanity, and artists play a role in creating the dialogue.”

LIFE

WORD ON THE HEAT:

Forget the controversy, enjoy your chiles

Green chile is region’s signature food, with no shortage of controversy

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

H

atch, Pueblo, Anaheim or an upstart from Greeley — Coloradans have differences of opinion on who grows green chiles best. But when it comes to the state’s love for the spicy fruit (yes, fruit), there’s not much debate to be found.

What you can find, almost everywhere, are green chile burgers, green chile burritos, green chiles in chocolate and wine. There’s green chile salsa, green chile sausages, chips with green chile and lime. But according to Eddie V., (last name withheld) originally from Pueblo, but calling Denver home for decades, for the true connoisseur, a bowl of green chile with a side of warm flour tortillas is all you’ll ever need.

New Mexico, let’s face it, is the 800-pound gorilla in the green chile game, with the tiny village of Hatch creating a smoky mystique from coast to coast. But Colorado has been making a respectable showing with the Mirasol, or Mosco chile, aka the Pueblo chile, grown in, you guessed it, Pueblo.

To say green chiles are popular in the city of Pueblo would be a notable understatement. Home to the Chile and Frijoles Festival, and perennial but friendly foe of the folks down in Hatch, the Southern Colorado city can claim serious chile cred. But about four hours north and a little bit east, Greeley is trying to get a piece of the action.

“My mother grew up on a farm, and wanted a produce stand when she was a child, and her dad said no. Then, when she got married, she still wanted one, and my father said no. When he died, she told my brother she wanted one, and he asked me what we should do, and I said: ‘Build her a produce stand!” said Tigges Farm’s Kathy Rickart.

Rickart comes from a Greeley family farm that goes back three generations. Pumpkins are the big cash crop at Tigges Farm, but if she has her way, Northern Colorado will, some day, compete with Pueblo for green chile glory — maybe even with Hatch. Rickart, with a background in 4-H education, developed her love of the green chile while spending seven years living and working in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Her brother, Kenneth Tigges, was running the family farm at that point — growing chiles without much local demand, when a neighbor told him he needed to start roasting them onsite, which was a game-changer.

In 2008, Rickart’s mother passed away. At that time, Rickart, her sister, Gale, and her brother officially

took over the farm. They planted 5,000 chile plants that year. They’ve since quadrupled that number, and Rickart has sought out every bit of knowledge about green chiles she can find. Last year, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which she said gave them their share of difficulties, her farm sold out of chiles, Sahuaro by name, completely. The season is shorter up north than in the warmer climes of New Mexico, so don’t dawdle if you aim to try a Greeley chile in the fall.

“As soon as we get the hard freezes, it puts an end to the season,” Rickart said. “Mother Nature rules, from beginning to end.”

The fabled Santiago’s

Carmen Morales knows a few things about green chile, and green chiles. Morales founded Santiago’s.

Her mother’s green chile recipe put the restaurant on the metro area’s culinary map 30 years ago. Now, with more than 28 locations, Santiago’s is virtually synonymous with breakfast burritos. But the green chile, she said, still reigns supreme.

Morales’ parents were originally from New Mexico, where she said her mom learned to cook.

“My dad had to have green chile at every meal or he would refuse to

eat,” she said. “To him, it wasn’t really a meal without it.”

So, her mom would make it from scratch every day. Morales said that scratch kitchen tradition continues to this day at every Santiago’s location. And when you see the numbers — the sheer volume of product they’re creating — it puts into perspective, what a massive undertaking it is.

“One year we purchased 1.8 million pounds of green chiles,” Morales said, “and sold 1.36 million gallons of green chile.”

Santiago’s gets all of those green chiles from Salem, New Mexico, not the storied Hatch. Morales says the farm they buy from is the only one they’ve found capable of producing what her restaurants need.

Santiago’s celebrated the 30th anniversary of their flagship location in Brighton earlier this month.

On the topic of things that are wildly popular in this state, Tommyknocker has been brewing craft beer in Idaho Springs for 26 years.

Brewmaster Steve Indrehus has been there the entire time, creating beer with hints of chocolate, pumpkin and citrus, but a mainstay, and the No. 2 seller in the lineup, is their Green Chile Lager. Other breweries make chile brews too, but Indrehus

Kathy Rickart, Kenneth Tigges and Gale Loeffler of Tigges Farm in Greeley.

COURTESY OF KATHY RICKART

thinks drinkability is what sets Tommyknocker’s apart from the rest.

“A lot of the others are really hot and in the novelty category,” he said.

“Ours has green chile flavor and warmth, but it’s drinkable. We want people to drink one and want another, not get burned up by too much spice, too much alcohol — everything comes together to make a really nice balanced beer.”

Indrehus said it takes about 100 pounds of chiles — a blend of mild and hot Anaheims — to make every batch of lager.

Scented, not spicy

Beer’s not your bag? Green chile lovers who prefer a touch of the grape, rejoice.

Lescombes Vineyard has you covered. The New Mexico winery has been making Hatch Green Chile Wine since the late 1980s. Sandra Pacheco, national sales director at Lescombes, said the wine isn’t spicy.

“It’s more in the bouquet,” she said. “You’re getting the heat from the aroma, like the essence of a roasted chile, in the nose of the wine.”

Several stores in the metro area stock Hatch Green Chile Wine, if you’re so inclined.

26 nonprofits receive Caring for Denver grants Funding will support mental health, fight against substance misuse in community

‘People recover in community — rarely do they recover in isolation.’

Lorez Meinhold, executive director of Caring for Denver

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The goal is to do more to support mental health and the fight against substance misuse in the Denver community.

In November 2018, Denver voters approved a mental health funding sales tax that puts $0.25 per $100 spent into a community fund for mental health and substance misuse issues. Tasked with prioritizing those funds was the newly formed Caring for Denver Foundation.

The foundation got to work and engaged with more than 1,600 Denver residents and identified four areas that have the most immediate needs. They are: youth; alternatives to jail; care provision to ensure more people in Denver have access to resources, support and services at the time they need it; and community-centered solutions that make use of “com-

munity knowledge, strengths and resources to foster local connectedness and support,” states a news release.

Throughout 2020, Caring for Denver announced funding for various contemporary issues, ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic to criminal justice concerning response to mental health and substance misuse crises.

In early December, Caring for Denver made another announcement that more than $5.6 million in funding will go to 26 local nonprofits — each led by a person with lived experience or by community members the organization serves.

“People recover in community — rarely do they recover in isolation,” said Lorez Meinhold, executive director of Caring for Denver, in a news release. “We’re incredibly eager to partner with the community on solutions that

meet people where they are and reinforce their strengths.”

These particular grants “prioritize access, cultural relevance and community collaboration. Grantees will provide supports accessible in places and spaces people live, know, visit, learn and trust,” states a news release.

“The mental health crisis in Denver, alongside the entire nation, has only been exacerbated by COVID-19 — from the fear of getting the virus to the lack of physical contact with our friends and family. This virus is taking a toll on all of us,” said Rep. Leslie Herod, D-Denver, in a news release. Herod serves as Caring for Denver’s board chair. “Caring for Denver funding will be transformative for tens of thousands of Denverites by providing tools and opportunities for the community to connect and cope together safely.”

agenda that will make a real difference in their lives.”

Bennet added: “The new administration has already put forward proposals to bridge us from the pandemic into a growing economy while expanding opportunity and security for millions of Americans. I look forward to working closely with the new administration to pass this agenda, restore a government that works, and burnish our democratic example to the world once again.”

“Today we begin our work to rebuild the nation,” said U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper, “President Biden spoke of coming together to confront the challenges facing our country, and he’s right — there isn’t any time to waste.

“The pandemic has stolen over 400,000 lives and millions of jobs, climate change has caused severe droughts and record-breaking wildfires in Colorado, and the Trump administration has endangered families’ health care and our standing in the world,” Hickenlooper added.

Referring to Biden’s pledge that he will be a “president for all Americans” and “fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did,” Hickenlooper seconded the sentiment.

“President Biden and Vice President Harris are taking office at a time when we face deep divisions, but even stronger calls to unite,” he said.

“I’m ready to partner with the new administration and my colleagues, including those across the aisle, to get our nation back on track. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.”

Buck balks

U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, a Windsor Republican and the chairman of the Colorado GOP, tweeted criticism of Biden’s reported plans to swiftly undo policies of the Trump administration by issuing an unprecedented series of executive orders on the new president’s first day in office.

“Instead of taking steps to start moving America forward, Biden will sign executive orders on his first day that will make good on the campaign promises he made to the extreme left-

wing of the Democratic Party. These policies will hurt millions of people and weaken our nation,” Buck said.

“This liberal wishlist is the wrong approach for our nation,” Buck said after listing his obBuck jections to Biden’s intention to join the Paris Climate Accord, block the Keystone XL pipeline and move toward hiking the minimum wage and creating a path to citizenship for 11 million immigrants in the country illegally.

Buck added: “Republicans are focused on working to unify the country by rebuilding a strong economy and fighting for freedom and opportunity, which have made America an exceptional nation.”

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis called the “relief and hope” he felt watching the inauguration “overwhelming” in an email to supporters.

“The last four years have been an emotional roller coaster for all of us.

Finally, we have professional, skilled, experienced, data-driven, sane leaders in the White House once again who are governing our nation with honesty and integrity,” he said. “In my lifetime, the need for leaders like this President and Vice President, who are prepared to begin to make progress on Day One, has never been greater.”

Slamming the “absence of federal leadership during the previous administration,” Polis maintained that Coloradans “have done our very best to use science, data, and fact-driven consensus to improve people’s lives and recover in the face of trauma.”

“This is a day of tremendous hope that brighter days are ahead for our nation,” Polis concluded. “And it’s a day for resolve and for determination that we will not let the forces whose negligence and dishonesty have given us so much unnecessary hardship drag us back in the wrong direction. Together, we can and we must continue to make progress.”

‘Great day’

U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, a Denver Democrat, hailed the inauguration as “a great day for our nation” in a statement.

“Our democracy has been tested in unprecedented ways, but it has held — and today’s inauguration was a tes-

tament to the amazing strength and resiliency that our nation has shown time and time again during even the most trying of times,” she said.

DeGette, one of nine House Democrats chosen to prosecute the impeachment case against Trump in an upcoming Senate trial, said, “Today is the start of a new chapter in our nation’s history. It’s a time for us to come together and show the word that America’s unity is still its greatest strength.”

In a tweet, DeGette drew attention to the historic nature of Harris being sworn in.

“Three historic words were spoken on the steps of the U.S. Capitol today: Madam Vice President,” she said, noting Harris is the first woman to serve as vice president. “Now, let’s make sure you aren’t the last.”

Freshman U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Rifle Republican and ardent Trump supporter, took a swipe at Biden after attending Trump’s sendoff to Florida at Joint Base Andrews.

“It’s Biden’s #InaugurationDay and all the left can seem to talk about is Donald J. Trump,” Boebert tweeted.

“Says it all.”

Earlier, Boebert tweeted a valedictory message about Trump.

“President Trump inspired a new generation of patriots to get involved in saving this great nation,” she said.

“It’s now on us to carry the movement forward. This is bigger than one man. The America First movement is only beginning.”

Democratic U.S. Rep. Jason Crow of Aurora said Biden’s inauguration marked “the dawn of a new day in America,” in a statement.

“President Joe Biden is a good and decent man who has faced many challenges in his life and persevered.

His empathy and compassion is born of tragedy, like so many of us.

Our first woman Vice President, a daughter of immigrants, embodies the hopes and aspirations of our nation. While the path forward is hard, I know that President Biden and Vice President Harris will help America build back stronger,” Crow said.

“Today’s inauguration sends a clear message to Americans and people across the world that the peaceful transfer of power is the cornerstone of democracy,” he added. “The January 6th attacks on our Capitol and the setbacks our nation has experi-

enced over the last four years will not define us. America is strong and our democracy will prevail.”

Hancock sees hope

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, a Democrat, applauded the arrival of “leadership once again on the most pressing issues of our time — positive progress on immigration reform, addressing climate change, regaining our standing on the international stage, and much more.”

Calling Harris’ ascension to the vice presidency “an inspiration to so many,” Hancock praised the inauguration’s “display of unity we need right now.”

“We may have our differences, but we are all Americans, and what we can achieve when working together toward a common goal is one of our greatest strengths as a people,” he said.

“Today, America turned a page and put a dark chapter of our history behind us,” said Alec Garnett, the speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives and a Denver Democrat, in a statement. “I’m confident that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the right people to lead our country at this crucial time, and I’m hopeful that together we’ll be able to craft a strong economic recovery that leaves no person behind. It’s time to put aside the vitriol that has characterized the last four years and instead work together to build back our country even stronger than it was before.”

The Colorado Senate Democrats offered congratulations to Harris.

“The first Latina Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor, just swore-in the first Black, South Asian & woman Vice President of the United States,” the Senate Democrats tweeted. “The glass ceiling has been shattered.”

Morgan Carroll, a former state Senate president and chair of the Colorado Democratic Party, said that the country’s “Constitution and democracy institutions have prevailed,” in a statement.

“It is morning again in our great nation, and I look forward to watching the Democratic members of Colorado’s congressional delegation work with the Biden administration to lead us past the pandemic, rebuild our economy, and to heal the soul of our nation,” Carroll said.
