Child-care workers, teachers vaccinated First three weeks of eligibility sees about 75% receive injection

BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT.ORG

Denver South senior, found themselves doing last month.

“I really didn’t believe that it would happen,” Lily said. “…

I didn’t know what it would be about or the direction up until that first episode, but we did a lot of research on what the ‘Hear Our Voices’ podcast would be.”

Three weeks after Colorado opened COVID vaccination to classroom teachers and child-care workers, roughly 75% of eligible people had received their first shot, according to data released by state public health officials at the end of February.

Colorado has an estimated 120,000 K-12 school staff and child care workers, and as of Feb. 28, 93,175 of them had received their first shot.

Eligible workers include not just classroom teachers, but bus drivers, food service workers, classroom aides, and others.

Colorado set aside 30,000 doses a week for educators starting Feb. 8 and continuing through the first week of March. Districts that serve more than 5,000 students were asked to space out their vaccination efforts so that doses could be sent around the state and reach small districts as well as large ones.

Some districts and local county health departments organized dedicated mass vaccination events

‘We already assume you’re brilliant, and have something to contribute’ Denver Public Schools alumni organize to make a difference for future students

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A group of Denver Public Schools alumni want to make a difference in the education that future students of the district receive.

“We want to help people dream bigger,” said TeRay Esquibel, executive director of Ednium: The Alumni Collective. “Now is a key moment in time for us to elevate the Esquibel voice of the people we talk about, but rarely with.”

Ednium: The Alumni Collective is a new organization focused on improving educational outcomes in the DPS district, sourced directly from the lived experience of those who recently attended DPS. “Ednium is a platform to elevate alumni,” said Esquibel, a 2011 graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School, which is in southwest Denver. “It’s built for those who feel their voice doesn’t matter. We already assume you’re brilliant, and have something to contribute.”

Ednium focuses on three areas of programming — the Data & Design Lab, the Leadership Launchpad and the Advocacy Accelerator.

The Data & Design Lab came first.

It took place in summer 2019 and about 150 DPS alumni participated to evaluate two fundamental questions: 1) what is the knowledge you need in order to achieve your definition of success, and 2) what tools do you need to be able to achieve your definition of success?

All the data was analyzed and drafted into a document that was presented to then-DPS Superintendent Susana Cordova and her leadership team, who then also realized the importance of having recent

alumni voices represented in the conversations around educational decisions, Esquibel said.

In spring 2020, the first Leadership Launchpad took place, focusing on three fundamentals — the alumni wanted to be seen and heard, they wanted to gain respect and credibility and they wanted to make an impact. The program lasted three months, and during that time, a number of meetings with community leaders took place. The group also worked on a capstone project that entailed taking each of their lived experiences to come up with an idea that would make a difference.

Sometimes these conversations are tough, but they’re important, said Stephanie López, a 2009 graduate of Denver East High School, who has been involved with Ednium since its beginning.

“We want to make sure the next generation has the tools, knowledge and resources they need for their success,” López said, “whatever that success may be for them.”

Esquibel agrees.

For example, he said, “you might be the only person of color in the executive boardroom. But, on the other hand, you might be the only person from your community who went to college.”

Ednium narrowed down all the

ideas to two main issues they would begin to tackle — additional financial literacy in education, and the lack of education concerning cultural and ethnic studies, particularly on a local level — and the Advocacy Accelerator got its start in July 2020.

Those involved with the Advocacy Accelerator “further define projects and initiatives, build support and begin implementation,” states a news release. The current goal is to implement financial literacy and cultural and ethnic studies to be graduation requirements for DPS students by 2023.

Financial literacy “is an essential skill to be a contributing member of society,” Esquibel said. Yet, he added, it’s one of the skills that many recent graduates were lacking, especially so among those whose families may not have had a lot of financial gains when they were in high school.

Employers are looking for people who have cultural competency, and universities value it, said Richard Maez, a 2011 graduate of southwest Denver’s John F. Kennedy High School.

“We’re in a time when these conversations are being had — the current students are living it,” said Maez, who has been involved with

Ednium since its beginning. “We need to give students the language and tools to be able to talk about racism, discrimination, stereotyping and prejudice, and open their their eyes to the histories that are yet to be taught.”

Ednium is already making progress on its first two initiatives — a group spoke at a December Board of Education meeting and relayed their own struggles surrounding the lack of instruction on financial literacy and cultural and ethnic studies.

López believes today’s students do care about, and are invested in, the quality of education they receive.

“The younger generation, nationwide, wants an equitable future for themselves and their children,” López said.

In fact, she added, it’s evident that local students care. One example is the student-initiated Know Justice, Know Peace Resolution. The resolution “seeks to add comprehensive historical and contemporary contributions of Black, Indigenous and Latino communities to K-12 curriculum throughout DPS,” states a news release. The DPS Board of Directors adopted it in October, but it was a group of students who attend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Early College, which is in northeast Denver, who introduced and advocated it.

Ednium does not exist to be a negative critic of DPS, López said.

“It’s to acknowledge what has gone wrong in the past, but also, to build on the things that have been done well,” she said. “Because there is both.”

Ednium is a grassroots organization that brings additional value to school board decisions, Maez added.

This, in turn, truly makes a difference for the students of the future, and Denver overall, he added.

“As alumni, we feel a deep connection to our city. And our city can’t be successful without all of the components, which includes a successful school system,” Maez said. “Ednium provides a voice and an engine for alumni to engage with the school district that helped shape who we are today.”

Easter basket funding needed A Precious Child plans to donate goodies to kids in area counties STAFF REPORT

In an effort to provide Easter baskets to children across the Denver metro area, Discovery Toys and A Precious Child have teamed up for the fifth year to collect donations and put together baskets.

Centennial resident Julie Olivett, a Discovery Toys team leader, said she continues to participate because A Precious Child is a great organization that continues to provide vital services to families in need in Colorado.

“I believe that a simple act of

kindness can make a huge difference in a child’s day,” Olivett said. “The Easter Basket Drive is a perfect opportunity to put smiles on hundreds of kids’ faces and that’s what I love to do. It’s a win-win.”

This year the goal is to distribute as many Easter Baskets as possible.

All children already being served by A Precious Child will receive these baskets the week before Easter.

The suggested donation is $30 per basket and 100% of the donations collected are used to create baskets.

Baskets are filled with candy, a chocolate bunny, Easter eggs, toys, books, games, and toothbrush/ toothpaste.

Donations will be accepted through March 25. To donate, visit the website at https://apreciouschild.org/donate/, or call (303)4664272 ext. 114.

Lily Kerlin, a Denver South senior, and Brandon Benedict, a senior at Arvada West High School, are the co-hosts for a monthly podcast “Hear Our Voices,” which will tackle a COURTESY PHOTO number of topics, including resiliency, courage, empathy and more.

PODCAST FROM PAGE 1

Brandon had a similar reaction.

“At first, I didn’t believe it,” he said after receiving that initial email about taking on a co-hosting role for a monthly podcast from Colorado Young Leaders and CiviCO. “I was a little nervous. I had never done a podcast before.”

But both teenagers are finding the platform welcoming to share their voices on topics such as resiliency, courage, empathy and more.

The podcast, which will tackle themed topics monthly, is the brainchild of Lauren Steavpack, the program director for Colorado Young Leaders. Through a partnership with CiviCO, the podcast — but more specifically Colorado Young Leaders — empowers high school student leaders throughout the state.

The perfect hosts Having Lily and Brandon co-host the program was a no-brainer, said Steavpack, because of their desire to tell stories and their ability to amplify youth voices. And while podcasts have been the rage in recent years, CYL focused on coming up with a unique way to tell their story while reaching out to an embracing audience.

Before she got involved with CYL, Lily said that she was floundering as a freshman and sophomore, like she wasn’t making a difference. That changed in her junior year, and now, she’s using her voice for the betterment of her generation.

“Youth can especially not only make changes but be a part of a change that you want to see,” Lily said. “Brandon and I are easily telling stories that are relatable.

The stories we’re telling are really engaging.”

Brandon agreed.

“The main goal is the youth part of their voices,” he said. “The whole goal is to see how adults and

WANT TO LISTEN? “Hear Our Voices” podcast, cohosted by Arvada West senior Brandon Benedict and Denver South senior Lily Kerlin, can be accessed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or PodBean. For more information on the podcast, email podcast@coloradoyoungleaders.org. kids can work together.”

Today’s youth are not only the future, but they’re in a position to make an impact right now, Steavpack said.

“Empowering them is allowing them to lead and shine on their own,” she said.

Like interviewing Gov. Jared Polis and Ananda Birungi, the winner of the Colorado Governor’s Citizenship Medal, for the first episode.

Interviewing Polis was a bit nerveracking, they said, but once they realized he was just another person — albeit in a leadership role — that calmed the nerves a bit.

“He’s just another person on Earth, another guy in the community,” Brandon said. “He has so much power, but having him on the podcast felt cool. It was very humbling.”

Lily agreed.

“It was so nerve-racking not only because he’s the governor, but I feel like, especially with any adult in a position of power, that it’s nerve-racking for youth to have a conversation with them,” she said.

“But after we did the interview, we were like we killed that. It was not as bad as we thought. There’s the politician side of him, but we got to listening to him a little bit more.

It was fun to learn a little bit about his life. I think we got a different perspective than an adult would get, a different energy.”

Brandon Benedict and Lily Kerlin hope that the “Hear Our Voices” podcast will make a difference in the world around them and that young voices, like theirs, will be heard for years to follow. If the first episode is any indication, they’re well on their way to doing just that.

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity.

But many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. It’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact, with a government-insured HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payments are required; however, the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills, or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

AAG Area Sales Manager, Jarred Talmadge, says, “As your local AAG team, our goal is to provide you with information and never pressure you.

We’re here to answer your questions and give you guidance. If that means you want to work with us, great. If not, that’s okay, too. The best part? We are local, right here in Denver!”

VOICES

An hour this Sunday will be no time at all

oon it will be time to change our clocks again.

Why? It’s a semi-annual nuisance that is debated and argued about semi-annually too.

Between times, it’s forgotten.

QUIET Daylight Saving DESPERATION Time was advanced by Benjamin Franklin in a 1784 essay titled “An Economical Project.”

The justifications for Daylight Saving Time are numerous and Craig Marshall make tedious Smith reading.

(Please do so on your own.)

Arizona and Hawaii do not change clocks. Seven other states have approved legislation to follow them and are awaiting federal approval. The feds are taking their time about it.

Some of the American citizenry experiences mood shifts when

clocks are changed, particularly in the fall.

Changing clocks is somewhat less of a nuisance than it once was when all clocks had to be manually changed.

Teens: Ask your moms and dads.

Wait: Teenagers don’t read me.

Now many timepieces change on their own.

I have a $19.99 clock radio that knows when it’s time, as it were.

Fall back and spring ahead.

We spring on Sunday, March 14.

I haven’t changed my car’s clock since last November. Why? Because changing the time on my car’s clock takes either tiny fingers or a toothpick.

I knew someone who always had a toothpick in his mouth and wondered why. Dental care is important, of course, but it can be taken too far.

He’d have it in his mouth when we played touch football and touch basketball.

It was, I thought, a big risk to have a toothpick in his mouth, but I guess the coolness of it made it

worthwhile.

I lost track of him. Maybe he swallowed one and maybe he didn’t.

You can still see men — never women — with a toothpicks in their mouths if you watch old movies, especially ones with gangsters.

Gangsters, private investigators, and policemen always had toothpicks nearby.

“Crime Wave,” starring Sterling Hayden, is recommended. The language is pure, stilted pulp.

Hayden’s character says, “I love to smoke cigarettes. But the doctors say I can’t have them.”

Then adds, “So what do I do? I chew toothpicks. Tons of them.”

Half the time, he wears a fedora sideways that looks like it’s kept under his pillow at night.

No one messes with him because he’s the size of a power forward.

Stick around for the final scene when he relapses and smokes a cigarette that has a dog leg to the left.

I thought it was a flub, but it’s

likely the director wanted Hayden to be inelegant to the end.

It’s not a comedy but the “patter” might make you laugh a little if you’re not used to noir talk.

When Hayden made the film (1953) you didn’t need tiny fingers or a toothpick to change the car clock.

I don’t know where to get tiny fingers. A friend said she and her daughters rescued a baby squirrel and domesticated it.

“It even put itself to bed every night at 8:30 on the button.”

I didn’t ask if the little fellow made the necessary adjustments semi-annually, or if half the year he went to bed at 7:30.

With Daylight Saving Time right around the corner, I don’t have enough time to find and train a baby squirrel to change my car clock.

Nuts.

Maybe by November?

High country lesson: Balance creates perspective

“S

ome see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that is twice as big as it needs to be.” — George Carlin Isn’t that the way it seems these days? Sometimes we see the glass as WINNING half full, or half WORDS empty, depending on the day or our mood. And other times it is the people we are speaking with or the posts we read where others are overly optimistic about an event or Michael Norton situation while others only see the gloom or danger. Fair and balanced is apparently in the eyes and the hands of the one holding the glass.

When we are out of balance, there is a good chance that our perspective can change. For those of us who enjoy skiing, we know what being off-balance feels like as it usually ends in a cloud of white and our gear splayed out across

the mountain.

I love to ski, and I especially love to ski the trees. A mountain I have spent more days on than any other mountain is Beaver Creek.

For more than 20 years I have enjoyed skiing there and have come to know the mountain like the back of my hand. My confidence on each run growing with each passing season. That included some of the best tree skiing that I have ever enjoyed. And as my confidence grew, my recklessness also increased. I was out of balance.

While skiing alone one day I had decided that a tree run called “Stickline” was a good idea. It was a powder day in the middle of the week and there were not a lot of other skiers on the hill that day.

With my powder skis on I headed into the trees. It was awesome, quiet, and thrilling all at the same time. All was going incredibly well until I came around a tree a little too fast and missed my next turn, I over-corrected and fell. Once I had dug myself out of the hole I was in, I had realized that during my fall, I had lost one of my ski poles.

After much digging around in the powder, I could not find it. My ski pole was gone and so was my balance.

As an avid skier and someone who has made hundreds of runs through the trees, since my balance was gone, so was my perspective. The trees looked tighter, the air became thicker, my body temperature was rising while my eyes scanned the forest for the easiest way out. Each time I started to regain my balance, the trail was closing in on me, limiting my progress. Pretty soon I was a puddle of sweat, my goggles were fogging up, and my pulse was racing. I stopped again, lifted my goggles, took off my helmet, and leaned against a tree to catch my breath. And in that moment, I knew that balance would be the key to getting out, balance would provide the necessary perspective to showing me the openings and preparing me for each turn. So, with renewed balance and perspective I made it out safely.

Teller Elementary to benefit from fundraiser Sultan Newman Group, Teller PTA partner for 100th anniversary fundraiser

Through a partnership with the Sultan Newman Group, the Teller Elementary School PTA will benefit from the Teller Centennial Home fundraiser.

The school is located at 1150 Garfield St. in Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Any homeowner looking to sell their home that is located within the school boundaries of Teller Elementary School can participate to be randomly selected as the Teller Centennial Home.

The Teller Centennial Home is a fundraising initiative being offered through a partnership with the Teller Elementary School Parent Teacher Association and the Sultan Newman Group, which is a team of Denver-based real estate agents with Compass.

Through the initiative, the randomly-selected home seller can save on real estate commissions and raise money for the PTA, which is celebrating the school’s 100th anniversary this current 2020-2021 school year.

“Teller is truly a special community that always works together to ensure all our kids feel welcome and supported,” said Eric Sultan, team leader of Sultan Newman Group, in a news release.

Sultan is a parent of two students at Teller, and he developed the idea for the Teller Centennial Home project in November while homeschooling his children during the COVID-19 pandemic that forced the closure of Denver Public Schools.

“The adjustments to remote learning caused by the pandemic have been hard on all of us,” Sultan said,

for school staff, while other school districts had employees sign up through lotteries with large providers like Kaiser Permanente and Centura Health.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment worked with the Colorado Department of Education to collect data from school districts and child care providers to track vaccination progress.

School nurses and others who could be classified as health-care workers or first responders have been getting vaccinated since January.

The dedicated supply meant that Colorado educators got vaccinated on the relatively short timeline promised by Gov. Jared Polis, even as people in some other eligible groups are still waiting for their chance, such as those 65 and older and even some moderate-risk medical workers. Some essential workers and people with two or more qualifying health conditions were to be eligible starting March 5, as were people age 60 and older.

Unlike in some states where vaccination has been tied to school reopening, most Colorado school

“and so I wanted to create something that would engage the Teller community and showcase that ‘we’re Teller together’ — particularly in light of the fact that Teller is celebrating 100 years of amazing service to our community.”

Henry M. Teller Elementary School is located at 1150 Garfield St. in Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood. It opened “in 1920 to handle the burgeoning student population in Congress Park following World War I,” states a news release. It is named after the late U.S. Sen. Henry Moore Teller. Teller served as one of Colorado’s first United States senators in 1876 after the state entered the union, and later, as secretary of the interior under President Chester A. Arthur, according to a news release. He returned to the Senate in 1885 and served until 1909, states a news release. “Teller died in Denver in 1914 and is buried in Fairmount Cemetery, which is located four miles from Teller Elementary near the intersection of Alameda Avenue

districts opened their classrooms to in-person learning in January with unvaccinated staff. As more staff are fully vaccinated, school districts hope they’ll see less disruption from quarantines. However, students who are exposed to COVID will still need to quarantine.

Christine Little, a fifth-grade teacher in the Jefferson County school district, said getting vaccinated provided peace of mind, even though she had felt relatively safe in the classroom.

“I’m just feeling safer, feeling more secure, knowing I won’t disappoint my kids or get my family sick,” she said as she waited in line at a recent vaccination event organized by Kaiser.

The vaccine is not mandatory.

In district surveys, not all staff expressed interest in getting vaccinated. School staff and child care workers who want to get vaccinated later will still be eligible.

Student-facing instructors and staff in higher education institutions will be eligible starting in late March, depending on vaccine supplies.

and Quebec Street,” states the news release.

The building itself is also significant to Denver history. It was “designed by Denver architect George Hebard Williamson who attended Denver public schools and was an 1893 graduate of `Old East’ high school. … Williamson would later go on to design Denver’s East High School, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places and is known for its Jacobethan Revival architecture,” states a news release.

How to participate in the Teller Centennial Home project: The home for sale must be located within the Teller Elementary School boundaries, which are East 26th Avenue to the north, Colorado Boulevard to the east, East Eighth Avenue to the south and York Street to the

west. Sellers within those boundaries who would like to participate in the Teller Centennial Home project should contact Eric Sultan with the Sultan Newman Group at 303-8290814. Deadline is April 1, 2021.

The Sultan Newman Group will randomly select one home seller to participate in the Teller Centennial Home fundraiser. Sultan will announce the Teller Centennial Home

by April 8, 2021.

The seller will receive full real estate services from Sultan and Joseph Newman. The selected home will be featured in special marketing campaigns and signage, and the Sultan Newman Group will reduce the total commission paid by the seller to 4.8% - 2% to the seller side and a 2.8% cooperative commission to the buyer side - when the seller agrees to donate the 2% seller side commission to the Teller Elementary School PTA. “This initiative will generate a sizable donation for the PTA — upwards of $10,000 for a $500,000 home or $20,000 for a $1 million home,” said Emily Musser, fundraising chair for the Teller Elementary PTA, in a news release. “That kind of donation will ensure Teller’s ability to thrive not only during this pandemic, and but also well into the future.”

Craft bean roasters find their niche as they appeal to refined tastes

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

J

ava, joe, coffee — no matter what we call it, coffee is an integral part of many people’s lives, and metro Denver is known for its craft coffee.

For craft coffee roasters, it’s all about the coffee bean — where it’s from, how it’s grown and how it’s roasted. They have created their roasting companies in the last 10 years, and they are passionate about providing the area with the perfect cup of coffee.

AJ Payne, general manager of Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters in Olde Town Arvada, likened the craft coffee industry to the craft beer industry, something the Front Range is known for.

“Breweries have popped up,” Payne said, “and I see the same thing happening with coffee. I think that you will see more and more smaller batch roasters in cafés (who are) roasting at least for their own cafés.”

Andy Sprenger, owner of Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters in Lakewood and Arvada, agreed.

“I’m super grateful to the craft beer industry for creating that space for independents to serve a higherquality product,” he said. “I feel like they paved the way for craft coffee.”

He believes the metro area’s younger demographic is looking for something unique in its coffee.

“I think this is one of the ways Colorado is special. This part of the world attracts a bit of a younger crowd,” Sprenger explained. “Colorado really likes to focus on small, craft, higher quality products, and (people are) willing to pay for them.”

Scott Wilton, operations manager for Bivouac Coffee Roastery and Tasting Room in Evergreen, suggested that Colorado residents enjoy experiences.

“The reason people like craft beer and coffee is the experience with the product you get to enjoy,” he said.

Sprenger added that coffee has a way of allowing people to connect, especially when they linger with friends over a cup, which has paved the way for coffee-drinkers to become particular about the beverage.

“People have gotten picky about their coffee,” said René Steenvoorden, Bivouac’s owner. “There’s a lot of creativity in coffee. Every time you go to a coffee place, the way it is sourced, roasted and made — even the milk you use makes (the coffee) different. I think that makes it interesting and creates a market.”

Landon Harmon, owner of Bearded Man Coffee in Highlands Ranch, likened craft coffee-bean roasting to winemaking. The kind of grape, the elevation it is grown at and when it is harvested can change the taste of the wine just like the type of coffee

bean, the elevation it’s grown at and when it is harvested.

“The exact same (coffee) plant grown at one elevation can be so vastly different than another (elevation) because of Mother Nature,” he said.

In addition, just as with craft beer brewing and winemaking, it’s important to have a variety of options for a variety of tastes, said Matt Kurgan, owner of Pangea Coffee Roasters in Golden.

“If somebody doesn’t like one coffee,” Kurgan said, “then variety is the key. Giving customers what SEE ROASTERS, P12 SEE COFFEE, P12

they want is a tough thing because there are so many different people out there.”

Tracking the trends Coffee, like beer, is constantly evolving, and these craft roasters are always looking for something new to keep coffee drinkers happy.

Sweet Bloom, for example, never envisioned online sales, which were necessitated by the pandemic if the roastery wanted to stay in business, Sprenger said.

“I do think that’s going to be something that will stick around,” Sprenger said. “People have learned to brew coffee at home, which means more whole-bean sales.”

Harmon added that the pandemic has made single-brew cups become even more important.

“Now with the single-serve pod, people can control exactly what they want to taste versus a bag of coffee,” Harmon said. “Once I sell you a bag of coffee, I lose control of the end result. With a single-serve pod, there’s more control.”

In addition, Kurgan explained that technology has improved, so roasters can keep data on the roasting process and the coffee-bean mixtures

they found a location in Olde Town Arvada and added a café.

Interestingly, Payne said, Hunter Bay is not a location; rather it’s the maiden names of the original owners.

Pangea Coffee Roasters offers a variety of coffee as it tries to please the tastebuds of its clientele. Luckily, according to owner Matt Kurgan, there are always new coffee beans to roast to get unique flavors.

“Our coffees just change so frequently,” he said, “that not one coffee is around for long. People ask to try our best seller, but that’s hard to define.”

Pangea, which roasts its coffee and operates a café in Golden, brings in coffee beans from Ethiopia, Su-

that make up the blends — ensuring consistency in the roasting process.

Payne believes coffee aficionados are moving away from the superdark roast coffees toward lighter roasts because they are looking for more natural and robust coffee flavors.

“When you roast something very dark, you don’t get as much flavor,” Payne said.

He compared it to cooking a steak well done rather than medium-rare.

People usually add sauces to make a well-done steak taste better.

“I order a medium-rare to medium steak because I like to taste the steak,” he said.

He also mentioned that cold-brew coffees are becoming more popular.

The roastery owners say drinking coffee is a regular part of their lives — between two and six cups a day plus tasting the roasts.

In fact, Sprenger says his biggest fear about COVID-19 is the possibility of losing his sense of taste, which is vital in the profession.

“I want to make sure the coffee is where we want it to be, especially when choosing new coffee,” Sprenger said. “Having taste buds firing on all cylinders is important.”

Harmon added: “If I enjoy (the coffee), I feel like I’m a good balance toward being overly snobby about my coffee and knowing what tastes really good.” matra, Burundi, Mexico, Bali and more.

Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters in Lakewood and Arvada is named after the coffee plant’s white bloom. In addition, according to the website, “exceptional coffee, freshly roasted and ground, blooms again when infused with hot water — equally fragrant and even more complex.”

Owner Andy Sprenger said as he has learned more about coffee, he has developed a love for its international aspect.

“We want to celebrate cultures at Sweet Bloom,” he said.

Sweet Bloom takes a seasonal approach to coffee, he explained, with a wide range of coffees that rotate throughout the year.

Its Hometown Blend is one of its best sellers, Sprenger said, noting that people start with something they really like, then branch out and try other roasts.

The wait for In-N-Out is over in south metro area Restaurant served up ‘burgers for breakfast’ on opening day

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

People lined up to eat “burgers for breakfast” as the famed fast food chain In-N-Out Burger opened its newest Colorado location in Lone Tree, near Park Meadows mall.

The restaurant, located at 9171 Westview Road, began serving food around 8:30 a.m. during In-N-Out’s Feb. 22 grand opening.

For Holly Houston, stopping by was a spur of the moment decision when she noticed cars in the drive thru for the first time. The Douglas County woman had been watching the restaurant’s construction, she said, looking forward to trying it at a location closer to home.

“I’ve been waiting for this one to open,” she said.

Company spokesman Denny Warnick said the building has been ready for weeks and could have opened as early as December.

In-N-Out waited until COVID-19 cases improved at the company’s other Colorado locations, which became outbreak sites after opening, and for cases to trend down in the surrounding community, Warnick said.

“We just thought it would be wiser to wait until both those results had improved to open another location,” he said.

Lone Tree employees were tested for COVID-19 before opening day and would be tested again after, he said. They were also assigned teams, which worked in specific sections of the kitchen to lessen how often people crossed paths, he said.

The Lone Tree location employs 80 people so far and will continue hiring, he said.

CLAIM FOR RELIEF (Partition of Real Property) 6. Plaintiff incorporates by reference the allegations stated above as though restated and re-alleged herein.
