Ensuring the earth is a livable space in the future Denver students with Youth Sustainability Board join teens across the U.S. for Earth Day tree planting BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Those involved with the Youth Sustainability Board believe that “when you’re fighting for the earth, you’re fighting for all the people on it.” These are the words of Dakota Gelman, a junior at the Denver School of the Arts who, along with Felicia Winfrey, serves as the Youth Sustainability Board’s co-president. “This is our earth,” added Winfrey, a senior at Denver South High School. “It’s really important that we work to make it a livable space. And it’s important for youth to recognize that we can make changes.” The Youth Sustainability Board (YSB) is a student-run nonprofit that offers middle-and-high school students across Colorado “a platform to pioneer sustainability initiatives in their schools and greater communities,” states its website. YSB got its start roughly two years ago by Maddy Gawler, who, at the time, was working toward her undergraduate degree at the University of Denver; and two then-high school students who are now both in college — Hailey Hayes, a graduate of South High School, and Sam Anderson, an East High School graduate. Gawler, 24, completed her master’s degree in international development with a certificate in global corporate social responsibility in SEE EARTH, P9

It’s difficult to say exactly how the pandemic impacted business in Denver, but data from the city’s Department of Excise and Licenses gives us a look at what’s happened over the last year. Records show that there are 25% fewer active licenses for food sellers - including restaurants, caterers and food trucks - than in January 2020. We crunched numbers for some other industries, too. Let’s begin with some basic ground rules: 1. Certain enterprises in the city must hold an “active” license to do business. You need a license, for instance, to sell food or liquor, to tattoo someone for money or to operate a pedicab. 2. Licenses stay active for a year and must be renewed. If a business owner calls it quits, she might not bother to cancel her license. Some of the businesses that closed recently, like LoDo’s famous El Chapultepec, still technically have active licenses. So declines in licenses SEE EATERY, P14

Blizzard was good news for water supplies Heavy snowfall brought Denver from below normal to well above BY HANNAH METZGER THE DENVER GAZETTE
As Colorado battles statewide drought conditions, the March 1415 massive snowstorm brought a welcome boost to snowfall levels and water supplies. The storm dropped 19.7 inches of snow on Denver and 27.1 inches at the airport, according to the National Weather Service. Other parts of the state were hit even harder, with more than 40 inches in Aspen Springs, Buckhorn Mountain, Four Corners in Larimer County and Pingree Park. “Snowfall is mostly near to above normal now,” NWS said in a statement. “The recent snowstorm also increased the north-central Colorado snowpack, especially east of the Continental Divide.” Before the snowstorm, Denver’s snowfall total for the season was 32.7 inches, below the 38.8-inch average, according to NWS data. As of March 15, Denver’s snowfall total was at 59.8 inches, 1.54 times normal rates for this time of year. The March 14-15 snowstorm also pushed Boulder, Fort Collins, Longmont, Loveland, Waterdale and
Wheat Ridge from below to above normal snowfall rates. However, on Colorado’s eastern plains, the impact of the storm is more mixed. Only Lindon and Woodrow were brought from below to above normal snowfall. Akron, Briggsdale and Crook were already above normal rates, and Holyoke, Leroy and Sedgwick remain below normal. Similarly, though the snowfall gave a much-needed boost to mountain snowpack, Colorado’s snow water is still falling short compared to previous years. Even including the weekend’s storm, Denver Water’s collection system is below average for snowpack in the upper Colorado River Basin, North Platte Basin and South Platte Basin at 88%, 96% and 97% respectively, according to NWS data. Despite this, Todd Hartman with Denver Water said the storm was still “a big victory” for water supplies in a Denver Water article. Hartman said the snowfall recharged soil moisture across the Denver metro area and was helpful in replenishing the Gross, Marston, Chatfield and Ralston reservoirs. According to NWS data, snowfall at Gross Reservoir is still at only 77% of normal rates, but the storm did add 12 inches of snowfall. The snow was also unusually high in moisture content, which helped deliver one to two months of water to some areas of Colorado, Hartman

said. Denver has recorded 4.24 inches of liquid this year, making it the city’s wettest start to a calendar year on record. “The weekend’s water results were like winning the first-round of March Madness,” Hartman said. “A nice thrill, but still a few wins short of a title.” Since Colorado is still recovering from a very dry spring and summer, the melting snow will have to replenish dry soil before being able to flow into streams, rivers and
reservoirs. Denver Water suggests residents stay vigilant and continue irrigation and water conservation efforts. Denver Water’s summer watering rules take effect on May 1, limiting watering to three days a week and no watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Further limits may be implemented depending on temperatures and snow/rain fall in the coming weeks.

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?

Home composting can be simple, easy
ver the years, people have asked me about composting at home for their gardens. So, I did some research on the subject to come up with a simple GUEST and easy ways. COLUMN I must confess that I’ve been com- Mike Holloway posting at home for my own personal gardens ever since I was a child growing up in the hills of eastern Kentucky. My grandma loved gardening and passed her wisdom on to me — and after researching the subject, I’m proud to say my grandma knew what she was talking about. Here are the simple rules of composting that I’ve come to rely on. You want two types of material in your compost: “greens” and “browns.” First, let’s talk about the green materials — vegetable and fruit scraps, grass clippings, eggshells and animal manures (cow, horse, sheep, chicken, rabbit, etc. No dog or cat manure.). The “greens” are high in nitrogen and they also contain magnesium, calcium, potassium and other trace minerals. These are the components that will heat up the compost because they help the microorganisms in the compost grow and multiply. Now let’s talk about the “brown” materials for your compost pile. They consist of dead leaves, twigs, bark, straw, dead plant stalks, pa-

per scraps, corrugated cardboard, untreated cotton scraps and paper coffee filters. These are rich in carbon. Their main job in the compost is to be a food source for soil-dwelling organisms that will assist the microorganisms in breaking down the materials in your compost. They also add structure and allow air into the compost. After identifying the components, let’s talk about their ratio. If you add too much “green,”
NOW RENTING! NO BUY-IN!
you’re going to end up with foul smelling compost, and if you add too much “brown,” your compost will sit there and do nothing. I suggest starting off with a 4-to-1 ratio of “brown” to “green” and go from there. Of course, you can play around with this ratio. If you notice that it’s not heating up and breaking down, add more of the “green.” If your compost starts smelling foul, add more of the “brown.”
Now, let’s find a place for your compost pile. I suggest finding a dry, semi-shady spot in your yard that is close to a water source. Once you’ve found a location, start adding the brown and green materials, making sure to cut the large pieces down to smaller sizes. Also, moisten the dry materials as you add them. Once you’ve established your compost pile, it’s time to cover it. My choice would be a tarp or plastic sheeting. Covering helps retain moisture and heat — two essentials for compost. Covering also prevents the compost from being over-watered by rain. The compost should be moist, but not soggy. The next step is turning your pile. Every few weeks, give the pile a quick turn with a pitchfork or shovel. This aerates the pile. Oxygen is required for the process to work and turning adds oxygen. Periodically, add new materials by mixing them in, rather than by adding them in layers. Mixing, or turning, the compost pile is key to aerating the composting materials and speeding the process to completion. When the material at the bottom is dark and rich in color, your compost is ready to use. This usually takes anywhere between two months to two years.

Now that teachers are being vaccinated and schools have reopened for in-person learning, FrantumAllen said the district plans to resume the work related to the dyslexia screener, which he said will be part of a larger process to identify students with reading difficulties. “I see this as a way of identifying, `What are the true needs?’ so we can help teachers address those true needs,” Frantum-Allen said. A modest statewide test In 2019, dyslexia advocates pushed for a state law authorizing statewide dyslexia screening for children with reading struggles, but ended up endorsing a more modest proposal for a five-school pilot program. It was supposed to start last fall, but was postponed. A new application window opened during the winter, but with fewer applications than expected, the pilot’s future is up in the air. If it goes forward as planned, kindergarten through third-grade students at participating schools will be screened starting in the fall. A University of Oregon group will lead the pilot, which in addition to screening children for dyslexia risk aims to bump up the quality of core reading instruction and intervention programming using a program developed by the university called ECRI — Enhanced Core Reading Instruction. Nancy Nelson, a research professor at the University of Oregon who’s helping lead the pilot, said the goal is to ensure children are getting the right kind of reading instruction — explicit and systematic, with special help for struggling readers that aligns with whole-class lessons. The pilot will include lots of training for school staff, possibly starting later this spring. “Screening doesn’t mean a child’s going to get special education,” Nelson said. Still, the pilot’s format is meant to get kids much earlier access to specially tailored help rather than waiting until they’re desperately behind, she said. The pilot includes a two-step screening system, with the first step relying on the Acadience reading assessment, which is already used by many Colorado schools to comply with the state’s reading law, the READ Act. Students flagged by Acadience would get 30 minutes of extra instruction each day on foundational reading skills, with lessons previewing what will be covered the following day during whole-class reading lessons. Project leaders estimate 20% to 25% of students will fall into this group, but the proportion could be higher at some schools. After two months, students who don’t make progress with the extra instruction would undergo a second screening, with information from various assessments and sources including family history of reading difficulty.

5 things to know: Colorado’s child abuse and neglect hotline Pandemic intensifies risk factors for treatment of children, state says BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Colorado saw a decline in calls to its child abuse and neglect hotline in 2020 amid changing lifestyles in the pandemic, a trend that state officials say is concerning for children safety. “Usually, we see a drop in calls when school ends for summer, but the decrease started much sooner — in March when remote learning began — and continued throughout the summer,” Michelle Barnes, executive director of the Colorado Department of Human Services, said in a news release. As schools reopened with some in-person learning, calls to the hotline increased but haven’t returned to pre-pandemic levels, according to the human services department. The hotline saw a 13% drop in calls in 2020, receiving 193,000 calls compared to 219,000 in 2019. “We are hoping to demystify how the child welfare system works and overcome any hesitation people might have to calling the hotline if they are concerned about the health and safety of a child,” said Joe Homlar, director of the state
Division of Child Welfare. Here are a few things to know about the hotline, such as when to call, what happens after a call and how the system can help children in need. Abuse and neglect defined Abuse can include conduct by a parent or caretaker that results in death, physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation — or actions that present an imminent risk of serious harm, according to Homlar, whose division is a part of the human services department. Neglect is the failure to meet a child’s basic needs: leaving a child alone without care or supervision, a child becoming undernourished or repeatedly hungry for long periods, unattended medical or dental problems, or not having warm clothes or shoes in winter are some examples, Homlar said. Concerned adults shouldn’t get too caught up in the details, according to the state. “If someone has concerns about a child, they should trust their instincts and call the hotline,” which is 844-CO-4-Kids, Homlar said. “They do not need to know all the details to make a call. All calls are screened by professionals and, if warranted, a caseworker will assess the safety of the child.” But if a situation is life-threatening, Coloradans should call law enforcement immediately. “For example, if you see a tod-
dler walking alone on the street, or you witness a crime that involves a child, you should call 911,” Homlar said. What happens next? Calls to the hotline are routed to the appropriate county. Each call is screened to determine whether a situation may meet legal guidelines of abuse or neglect, Homlar said. If the report meets certain guidelines, a caseworker will contact the child and family to gather information and determine whether abuse or neglect occurred.
“It’s important to note that decisions about removing a child are made by judges,” Homlar said. If the assessment rules out abuse or neglect, families also can be referred to other services depending on the needs. If officials determine that abuse or neglect occurred, the caseworker works with the family and develops plans and a timeline to meet goals, Homlar said. In many cases, kids can remain at home The human services department SEE HOTLINE, P6

would intensify instruction for flagged students. Those who still don’t respond will likely qualify for special education services, falling into a catchall category under federal law called “specific learning disability,” which includes dyslexia. (Schools don’t make dyslexia diagnoses, and an official diagnosis is not necessary for students to fall into the specific learning disability category.) Nelson said about 5% to 10% of the school’s total K-3 students could end up qualifying for special education. The state pilot will only include reading assessments in English.

All kindergartners — eventually The Boulder Valley district launched its dyslexia screening pilot last fall, screening 345 kindergarteners at 10 schools, including one charter school. District officials will screen a random sample of those children again this spring to determine if the timing of the screening during the year makes any difference. Until then, the district won’t release the number of students who showed up as “high-risk” for dyslexia characteristics on the screening. “We’re still figuring out validity,” said Michelle Qazi, Boulder

emphasizes that historically, more than 80% of the child abuse and neglect allegations in Colorado were classified as neglect, not abuse, according to data from the last three years. That trend has likely been occurring much longer, Homlar said. And in many cases, counties can provide services to help families find stability — and kids can remain at home with their parents.

Valley’s director of reading, noting that parents weren’t notified last fall if their children fell into the high-risk category, but will be at the end of this school year. For most students, Boulder’s pilot program uses a free assessment called the Mississippi Dyslexia Screener. Native Spanish speakers are screened with the Spanish-language version of a common reading test combined with a spelling test from a different assessment. Qazi said students who score in the high-risk range on the dyslexia screener won’t automatically need special education services. The district already uses a highquality phonics program — Fundations — for all early elementary students, she said. Knowing through the screening process which kindergartners have dyslexia traits will help teachers pro-
vide more intensive help to those who need it, she said. “This is just one more piece of data that can help us lower the number of kids who fall through the cracks,” said Qazi. Boulder’s three-year pilot will expand to 22 schools next year and to the rest of the district’s 37 elementary and K-8 schools the following year. Qazi said the district trained staff who normally administer vision and hearing screenings to conduct the dyslexia screenings last fall. Some screenings were done in person and some online. The district budgeted $102,000 for the pilot program.

calls from family and friends increased 5%, according to the news release. Risk factors for child abuse and neglect include social isolation, family and parenting stress, financial uncertainty and insecurity, and the absence of child care or school — all factors that increased during the pandemic, the release said. “Coronavirus has brought many unknowns, but what we do know is that we need one another,” Minna Castillo Cohen, director of the state Office of Children, Youth and Families, said in the release.
Pandemic exacerbates risk factors In 2020 compared to 2019, calls from education professionals decreased by nearly 30%, and calls from medical professionals decreased by nearly 11%, while

Documentarians are manic about Titanic
T
he Titanic is a sunken scab that keeps getting picked on. There’s a new Titanic documentary. There will be a new one next year and the year after that and the year after that. I wish they would let her rest in peace, QUIET like Ethel Merman. New technologies DESPERATION explain how they continue to make new documentaries. Explaining why is different. In the first place, there has to be an audience. I guess there is. Apparently Craig Marshall there’s still enough Smith of a mystery about it, and everyone loves a mystery. One of the newer documentaries showed the ocean emptied like a bathtub, leaving the Titanic’s carcass easier to see like the desert bones of a goat. I wish I had millions to throw away at a sunken ocean liner. It was foggy. The captain refused
to slow down. There were icebergs. The invincible Titanic sunk. There were reasonable and conclusive explanations. Weren’t there? Apparently not. One documentary was titled “The Titanic’s Final Mystery.” If only it were. What more can we learn? Tons, apparently. The scenes I like best are the ones in the control rooms when men and women sit around pensively while very expensive deep water diving subs and cameras plunge into the darkness to see what really happened to this unsinkable ship that sank. Look: Those bolts weren’t fastened properly. Look: The speedometer wasn’t working. Look: Someone forgot to turn on the iceberg detector. What do you get when you cross the Atlantic on the Titanic? About halfway. What kind of lettuce did they serve on the Titanic. Iceberg. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers on board, more than 1,500 died. One who survived, Molly Brown, and her
wealthy husband James, moved from Leadville into a $30,000 mansion on Pennsylvania Street in Denver. It’s now a museum. An abysmal movie, “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” starring Debbie Reynolds, was released in 1964. It’s a musical, if that helps. Another documentary? Oh, why not? Men, and women, with money have to spend it on something. It might as well be on a sunken ship instead of college scholarships. If only the Titanic could talk and put an end to all of this. I think it would say two words, “Slow down.” Other ships in the area sat for the night. But Captain Smith was intent. He said, “Nothing can catch her, nothing can touch my 409.” Trouble is, the ship’s iceberg scanning technology consisted of two young men without binoculars. One, Frederick Fleet, 25, survived. He died at the age of 77 (cause of death: suicide by hanging). Fleet testified, “We could have seen it a bit sooner” if they had been issued binoculars.
Incomprehensible, isn’t it? The largest ship afloat relied on two lookouts keeping their eyes peeled. The Titanic was almost the length of three football fields. Binoculars, good ones, are $19.99. In 1912? Half that. Sometimes it takes a disaster for improvements to be made. Improvements in ocean crossing liner safety measures were instituted. If only Smitty had said, “Slow down. Let’s wait until morning, men.” If Fleet had been issued binoculars. If either or both had happened, the Titanic might be sitting pretty in Long Beach near the Queen Mary, open for tourists, serving high tea. If, if, if. Captain Smith’s last words: “Where’s all this water coming from?” Now, let that last joke sink in. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
You are tremendously amazing — let that sink in
O
ne of the things that I have learned many years ago is that we should never assume, that at any given moment, the person we are speaking with or communicating with does not need a word of encouragement or appreciaWINNING tion. And whether we are in the same WORDS boat or not, receiving a little positive feedback never hurt any of us, has it? Just imagine for a moment that someone we work with, maybe a customer, or even a close friend whom we Michael Norton know and trust said to us, “I think that you are tremendously amazing.” My guess is that it would probably feel pretty good. That one statement, said in less than two seconds, could be a gamechanger to anyone who receives such an impactful message. Just like offering kindness, giving a well-deserved compliment costs us absolutely nothing. As a matter of fact, most times provid-

ing sincere praise provides a huge return of appreciation, loyalty and trust. Notice the word sincere. When we share with someone our gratitude for their friendship, guidance, service or presence in our lives, it must be because we are truly grateful and because they are tremendously amazing. Try it. Send someone a text, an email, or even give them a call and just say something like, “I really am so grateful for you, and I just wanted to tell you that I think you are tremendously amazing.” The next time a server or anyone providing a service does an outstanding job, try sharing the same thing, “Thank you for your help, I think you are tremendously amazing.” Again, it only takes a few seconds and costs nothing. This is also something to absolutely share with a customer. Letting customers know that they are appreciated is always a best practice. And when customers are made to feel valued as individuals, loyalty will likely follow. It is estimated that 690 million people go to bed on an empty stomach, hungry each night. This is a

very sad statistic and something that many people and organizations are trying to do something about. Ending hunger is an awesome cause and an incredible opportunity for even more of us to help the fight against hunger if we can. Here’s the thing, it has also been said that as many people that there are in the world who go to bed hungry each night for something to eat, there are more than twice that number who go to bed each night hungry for a word of hope and encouragement. The solution to that problem seems so much easier to solve, doesn’t it? Just tell someone close to you that they are tremendously amazing. And if saying tremendously amazing still seem a little long, try doing what we do in our business, we tell our team, our customers, and our partners that they are “Tramazing.” We have fun as it becomes contagious, and everyone jumps in to let those they work with that they are “Tramazing.” Maybe giving kudos and acknowledging appreciation is something that is already happening

and being done consistently in our personal and professional lives. If so, that is wonderful, and you are already tremendously amazing, or “Tramazing.” However, if a demonstration of gratitude, respect and love can be achieved through just a few spoken or written words, why wouldn’t we say or write something that could bring another person the feeling that what they do and who they are is so very much appreciated? How about you? Are there people in your life who are going to bed hungry for a word of hope and encouragement? Or are you already lifting up those around you and letting them know how special and appreciated they are?

KNOW HOW To learn more about the Youth Sustainability Board, visit www.youthsustainabilityboard.org. To learn more about Tree-Plenish, visit www.tree-plenish.org. As of the date of this publication, it is too late for community members to order a tree to be planted in their yard, but the students are welcoming anybody in the community who would like to volunteer to plant trees on April 24. To inquire about volunteering, visit the Tree-Plenish website above, and select “find an event.” Then select Colorado, and choose the local high school that you would like to volunteer with for the event.

June, and now volunteers as YSB’s executive director. “The youth have so much power and voice,” Gawler said. “High schoolers have the passion, and they need the opportunity to engage.” In the past couple of years since its beginning, YSB has grown from partnering with five schools to now working with environmental/ sustainability clubs at 18 schools located as far north as Fort Collins. Each club is part of one of three YSB councils — Denver Public Schools, Boulder/Longmont and Fort Collins. In total, about 500 students are now involved with YSB, and their efforts range from renewable energy to waste management to eco-friendly transportation. This includes leading a variety of volunteer efforts — such as river cleanups and trail restoration projects — and even working on nonpartisan policy development. For example, students in the Denver Public Schools Council are drafting a resolution to enact sustainable change, such as recycling and composting programs, at schools throughout the district. The youth are hoping to present it to the school board in the near future. “YSB is proactively working toward change for the future, rather than just realizing what’s wrong in the present or complaining about the past,” Gawler said. “They (the youths) are coming together and creating the positive change they want to see.” Currently, the YSB youth are joining teens across the United States in organizing an Earth Day tree planting event to take place on April 24. The eight local schools participating are Denver School of the Arts, D’Evelyn Jr-Sr High School, East High School, Peak to Peak Charter School, Poudre High School, South High School, St. Mary’s Academy and Thomas Jefferson High School; and youth with the Colorado Young Leaders organization are participating on behalf of Cherry Creek High School. The event is the brainchild of Tree-Plenish, which is a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization based in the U.S. East Coast area. TreePlenish got its start in 2018 as a high school project by Lizzy Elsner and Sethu Odayappan, and now with both founders in college, Tree-Plenish has expanded to work with high school students across the U.S. College students volunteer to run the organization and mentor the high schoolers. “It’s been inspiring to see all these youth sharing our mission and vision on sustainability,” Elsner said. “The idea is for high schoolers to be able to walk away hfeeling empowered and that they can make a global difference.” . Tree-Plenish estimates that about 15,000 trees will be planted for the Earth Day tree planting event. The goal of the event is to offset the individual schools’ average paper usage by planting trees in community members’ yards. When deciding on a goal for the

number of trees to be planted, the students took into consideration the size of their school — a smaller school uses less paper, on average — and because remote learning took place during much of the 2019-2020 school year, some students used their school’s 2018-2019 paper usage data. For example, in Denver, East High School has a goal to plant 250 trees, South’s goal is 200 trees and Denver School of the Arts has a goal of 150 trees. The high school students took tree requests from community members through March 24, or, about one month prior to the tree planting event. The small fee that community members paid covered the cost of the tree itself, which comes as a bare root sapling to ensure the best possible survival rate. The local students get the trees from Tree-Plenish, which works with a variety of tree vendors and nurseries. Because high schools across the U.S. are participating in the event, Tree-Plenish works with the high schoolers so that the trees planted in each community are native to the area. On April 24 in Denver, the local students will set up a community location from where volunteers in small groups will depart to the tree planting destinations. All volunteer tree planters will receive basic tree planting training, as well as a briefing on the protocols the students are implementing to ensure the event takes place in a COVIDsafe manner. Community members may also pick up their preordered trees on April 24 if they prefer to plant them themselves. Many of the events the YSB youths had planned in 2020 had to
be canceled because of COVID-19, so they are especially looking
forward to being able to bring the community together — metaphorically — in a COVID-safe way. “All humans can connect to trees in some way,” Gelman said, adding that each tree planted during the one-day tree planting will benefit the community for many years to come. “It’s the tangible things that make change empowering.” As for YSB, the youth are dreaming big, Winfrey said. She added that maybe in another five or 10 years, it will become a national organization. “YSB is a great outlet for teens to lead and create sustainable change,” said Kendall Ogin, a senior at East High School who is involved with YSB and serves as president of East’s sustainability club. “Teens are going to be leading the world someday. Not only do we care about this, it’s kind of our duty to make the world a better place.”

LIFE ‘Art Strut’ celebrates women
Dairy Block is venue for works built around female mannequins BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Eleven invited local artists participated in The Athena Project’s pop-up art market, “Art Strut,” on March 13 at Denver’s Dairy Block and in the Alley and each will continue to exhibit their works, all built around female mannequins, through March 31 — inside of Denver Milk Market and throughout Dairy Block establishments. Visitors can bid for the art at auction throughout the month of March. The address is 1800 Wazee St. and there is a parking garage. The pop-up exhibit features works by Michelle Lamb of Littleton and other Colorado professional artists: Adri Norris, Autumn T. Thomas, Jana Hope, Lindsey Gutman, Deborah Jang, Tatiana Jordan, Karlee Mariel, Mel Aman and Samantha Doom Donen. Artists received an initial stipend when they accepted the invitation, Lamb said.
Lamb’s piece, “Full Speed Ahead,” includes “things associated with women” such as thimbles and bobbins, that “make her look powerful, versus a vision of Betty Crocker,” Lamb said. She’s a “modern winged Nike,” Lamb adds. All pieces will be displayed through this month — in Lamb’s case, inside the Denver Milk Market — and in other businesses on the block. The Athena Project is a Colorado nonprofit that “celebrates and nurtures women’s artistic expression. Working actively for equality of opportunity, recognition and pay based on artistic merit alone,” according to the website. Started by playwright/activist Angela Astle, the project recognizes that “women account for just 25% of playwrights produced across the Rocky Mountain Region. Only 5% of music producers are women. Only 30% of major American museums have women directors right now ...” Additional examples are easy to find through conversation with just about any female arts professional. Although Denver celebrated SEE WOMEN, P12

Q&A with Valor runner Cole Nutting
C R O S SWO R D P U Z Z L E
Athlete commits to California’s Menlo College BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
How did you get into running? “It is kind of a long story, but in short, I was going through a rough time. I was working with a mentor who was talking to me and told me I should run a triathlon. He ended up signing me up for the triathlon. As soon as I crossed the finish line, I was addicted. I knew I loved cardio and wanted to keep running. I still run in triathlons now. I started running in cross country for Valor Christian my junior year (fall of 2019). I had a great time.” In his cross-country debut, Nutting placed seventh in his first twomile race. Two races later, he was the top finisher on the team, shaving nearly 30 seconds off of his 5k time in the span of only two weeks. Three weeks later, he ran another 5k, beating his best time by 41 seconds at the conference championships.

What happened in your junior and senior years of running? “I got to participate in cross country last year, but my first year of track was a little different because of COVID. I really have liked running and getting used to competing. I had another regular cross-country season this year, and track is going forward as well. We are back on track this year and we have been able to have a full season and have track meets.” The final cross-country season was chock full of bests, starting with the second race of the season, where he finished a 5k with a time of 18 minutes, 15.2 seconds. “I look forward to finishing the track season strong this year.” Why did you choose Menlo College? “I actually did not know anything about Menlo College. I had a friend who was interested in its rowing program. That got me interested. I started checking into them, and they had a good running program and a good entrepreneurial program for me to join on the academic side. I got to visit the campus last month and really like it. From there, I made my decision to commit to the running program.”

Valor Christian senior Cole Nutting is looking forward to running in track this year and preparing for competition in track and cross country at Menlo College in California in the fall. The Highlands Ranch Herald talked to Nutting along with Menlo College coach David Cyrnes about his future in competitive running. Crynes said he is looking forward to coaching Nutting, who will have a competitive advantage over other runners because he has been able to train in the high elevation of the Rocky Mountains. Nutting officially committed to Menlo College last month. Menlo College has been recognized as one of the top cross country and distance teams in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, Crynes said.

to COVID. Some of the expiring licenses belonged to restaurants that closed before the pandemic, but their licenses only recently lost their active statuses. One more caveat: We spoke to some business owners whose licenses became inactive and were later reactivated. Jacqueline Bonanno, one of the owners of Highland’s Salt & Grinder, told us that restaurant’s momentary lapse in September had to do with a slow renewal on the city’s end. Excise and Licenses spokesman Eric Escudero and his team confirmed that the department faced backlogs as they scrambled to get restaurants registered for Denver’s new expanded patio program, and they were behind on some renewals last fall.

likely underestimate overall losses to each sector. Newly activated licenses, however, are accounted for. 3. Declines in a given industry do not reflect permanent closures. We spoke to business owners who told us they let their licenses lapse and may renew once it makes sense to get back to work. You can view declines as industries that hibernated over the last year. To be sure, some of those who dropped out may not opt back in once the pandemic dust settles. Again, this encompasses brick and mortar restaurants, food trucks, caterers, commissary kitchens and more. Some of these declines do include restaurants that shuttered last year. Zaidy’s Deli in Cherry Creek, for instance, was one closure that’s reflected in the

license decline. Zaidy’s owner, Jason Rudofsky, told Westword that his decision to close his shop was
related to the pandemic. Still, we can’t assume that all of these declines are directly related
