Mines sorority registers people for stem cell donation in e ort to fight blood cancers
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In 2011, Colorado School of Mines alumna Jennifer Rotramel-Ronhovde was diagnosed with leukemia.
She and her family sought a bone marrow donor, and her sorority sisters with Mines’ Sigma Kappa chapter hosted a stem cell donor registration drive in her honor, to generally raise awareness for the cause and help those like Rotramel-Ronhovde nd donors.
Rotramel-Ronhovde’s medical team helped her nd a suitable donor, and she lived another 10 months after the donation. After her death, her sorority sisters started hosting the reg-
istration drive annually in her memory.
On Feb. 24-28, they returned to the Mines student center, hoping to register another 200 people for the DKMS blood stem cell donor registry. Blood stem cells, which are distinct from embryonic stem cells, come from bone marrow. People with diseases or disorders that inhibit their ability to produce stem cells often need a transplant.
According to DKMS, an international nonpro t bone marrow donor center based in Germany, 70% of people su ering from blood-related illnesses must rely on donors outside of their families to save their life.
To that end, DKMS has regis-
tered over 12.5 million people globally and facilitated over 120,000 transplants.
Sophomore Haley Withrow, the Mines chapter’s director of philanthropy and service, estimated Sigma Kappa has helped 1,500 people register over the last 10 years. e entire process takes about ve minutes, as people simply review the eligibility requirements, ll out a few forms and submit their genetic samples via cheek swab. If they ever are contacted about donating their bone marrow, they do not automatically have to go through with the procedure and can opt out, Withrow and her sorority sisters clari ed.
Just like the Golden History Museum & Park decided a few years ago, many local museums and public art agencies want to do more work with and better represent Native American communities. But, unfortunately, many do not know where to start. us, about 150 people from local museums, art agencies, municipalities and Native American tribes will gather in Golden March 19-20 for the Indigenous Connections Summit: “Beyond the Land Acknowledgement.” e event will bring organizations and tribes together to build relationships with one another, and for local o cials to hear how best to represent and include Native American voices in public art, museums and other e orts, GHM Executive Director Nathan Richie described.
Featured speakers include Steve LaPointe, who’s chair of the GHM Native American Advisory Board, and keynote speaker Tink Tinker, professor emeritus at the Ili School of eology.
While most of the conference is invite-only, the public is welcome to attend the opening reception for “ is is Native Art,” Golden History Museum’s newest exhibit. It was curated by Danielle SeeWalker and is composed of 50 art pieces by 35 living artists. e opening reception will be from 4:30-7 p.m. March 19 at the museum.
“ is is Native Art” will run through this year’s Autumn Fest, which will be Oct. 5.
Additionally, Richie said the public should note GHM will be closed March 18-20 as sta members prepare for and attend the conference. e history park will be open during that time, and the museum will resume normal hours March 21.

Golden, with a dash of New Orleans
Golden Civic Foundation hopes to make Mountain Mardi Gras an annual
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With a brass band playing Southern funk music, green, yellow and purple décor everywhere, and dozens of people decked out in beads and masks on parade, part of Golden’s Washington Avenue had transformed into New Orleans’ French Quarter.
e Golden Civic Foundation hosted its inaugural Mountain Mardi Gras concert March 4 at the Bu alo Rose, with all proceeds bene ting the nonpro t’s Community Impact Grant Program.
e concert was the culmination of a weeklong partnership between GCF and at least nine local restaurants and bars, which o ered special Mardi Gras-inspired menus from Feb. 28 to March 4. Twenty percent of all proceeds bene ted GCF.
As of March 5, Development Director Violina Mitovska estimated the entire Mountain Mardi Gras event raised at least $5,000from both the restaurants’ special menus and the bene t concert.
In 2024, GCF awarded more than $110,000 in grants to 36 recipients, including local food banks, museums, schools and festivals.
Recipients described at the time how the grants were critical to support their teen internship programs, their special events and their work to help Goldenites in need, and more.
Organizers hoped this Mountain Mardi Gras would be the rst of many, becoming a late winter tradition alongside the nonpro t’s other yearly fundraisers, the Summer Jam bene t concert and its fall gala.
GCF board members Pat Madison and Sarah Labosky said late February and early March tends to be a slower time in Golden, and thought a fundraiser centered on Mardi Gras would be a great way to generate business among local restaurants, raise funds for local causes, and bring people downtown on a weeknight in the winter.
Bu alo Rose owner Chris Cone felt likewise, estimating that the March 4 concert alone brought 127 people to the venue on a Tuesday night. Plus, the restaurant side’s special menu was well-received leading up to the concert, he said.
Because Golden hasn’t consistently celebrated Mardi Gras, Cone believed there was a pent-up demand for an event like Mountain Mardi Gras. Plus, both the weeklong special
menus and the bene t concert were a great way to support local causes, he said.
So, Cone donated the venue and underwrote the cost of the entertainment, namely local Southern funk band Krewe de Groove, so GCF could retain all money from the ticket sales.
Locals Jim Geis and Beverly Walter were among the concertgoers, decked out in beads they brought back from a New Orleans jazz festival.
e two said they bought tickets because they love New
Orleans and funk music, and wanted to support GCF. ey also sampled the Bu alo Rose’s gumbo before the concert, saying it had a nice kick to it. Madison and Labosky thanked Cone and his team, saying the
t concert wouldn’t have been possible without the Buffalo Rose’s support. ey also thanked their other restaurant partners for participating in the weeklong special menus, saying they hoped Mountain Mardi Gras would grow more each year.

While the White House Reverses ‘Green’ Policies, Will Colorado Be Able to Hold Its Course?
For many years, Colorado, like California, has pursued its own “green new deal,” with its Democratic Governor and General Assembly passing one law after another that promotes everything that is now anathema to the current national administration.
Colorado sends a lot of tax dollars to the federal government and gets lots of tax dollars in return, especially for road projects such as the rebuilding of Interstate 70 through Denver. The current administration is using the leverage of withholding funds to pressure localities to fall in line with its immigration policies. It could just as easily withhold funds unless the state reverses its own green initiatives, such as incentivizing the purchase of new or used electric vehicles with bigger tax credits than any other state.
structed under laws passed by the General Assembly and signed by the Governor.
The CEO’s website describes several laws it is implementing that address the issue of building efficiency, both residential and commercial. Primarily, it is requiring all jurisdictions in the state of Colorado that create or amend building codes to adopt the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), which was adopted by the International Code Council, Inc., a non-governmental organization. It also requires all jurisdictions to adopt the Colorado Model Electric Ready and Solar Ready Code upon updating any other building code.
“Cities and counties with building codes must adopt the 2021 IECC along with the model electric ready and solar ready code when adopting or updating any building code between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2026.”
This isn’t a political column. Coloradans need to know whether its movement toward a “green” economy will be halted or reversed by the new administration. My intent in this column is merely to describe the programs and policies that may be in jeopardy.
The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is the arm of state government which develops and implements “green policies,” including in the real estate domain, as authorized and in-
According to the CEO, jurisdictions are encouraged to amend their building codes every three years and to incrementally move in the direction of the model codes, and they are prohibited from making amendments to their code which “decrease the effectiveness or efficiency” of the code.
The more liberal jurisdictions, such as Aspen, Denver and Jefferson County, have moved quickly to adopt those model codes, which include requiring new construction to include conduits and pre-wiring to facilitate future installation of EV charging stations and solar panels. According to the CEO website,
Also being developed, according to the website, is The Model Low Energy and Carbon Code, consisting of the 2024 IECC, as amended by Colorado’s Energy Code Board. To the White House and DOGE, the names alone suggest they’ll be targeted by the new administration. Let’s just say they’re “woke.”
A Model Green Code, currently in draft form at the CEO, “will address building attributes such as energy and water use efficiency, electrification, low carbon building materials, and other strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of new buildings. Local governments may voluntarily adopt this code in addition to the required energy code,” according to the website.
The state of Colorado has no statewide building code, but it does require any jurisdiction (i.e., counties or home-rule cities) which
Some Eager Sellers Cut Out Potential Buyers by Accepting a Quick Good Offer
Yes, the seller’s market of the Covid years is over, but there are still listings which sell right away, and too many sellers accept a fullprice or better offer on the first or second day, when they might get a better price if they just waited a few days.
This January, the average days on the MLS for listings within 25 miles of downtown Denver peaked at 60, compared to 22 days in January 2022. The median days on the MLS peaked at 44 this January compared to only 5 days in January 2022.
However, of the 2,396 listings in that area which closed this January, 63 went under contract the first day they were on the MLS and another 44 listings sold without even being entered on the MLS so that other buyers could know about them. 47 more went under contract the second day they were on the market, and 57 went under contract on the third day. I tell my sellers that if someone makes an
offer that quickly, and there are lots of showings, there are probably other buyers who might have paid more. It is my job as a listing agent to help my sellers get the highest price for their home, and I’m not doing that if I don’t convince them not to go under contract in less than four days.
This topic was inspired by a broker associate who said that twice in the past couple of months his buyer had lost out on a new listing that he showed the first or second day it was on the market because the seller had accepted a quick offer that our buyer would have beaten, given the chance.
In conclusion, just because the market has

has a building code to follow state laws regarding building codes, and it’s common to adopt one of the codes created every few years by the International Code Council, amended as appropriate to their local needs.
The above map from the CEO website, shows the extent to which each county has adopted the IECC codes by year. The lightest colors are counties which have adopted (likely with amendments) the 2021 IECC, and the darkest counties have no building codes. The other colors have building codes based on IECC years 2006, 2009, 2015 and 2018. It’s a interactive map, and can be changed to display home-rule cities and their codes, or you can search a county or city and it will display the details of its code requirements and IECC year.

Lunar Outpost’s moon mission goes sideways
Spacecraft carrying MAPP rover lands on its side, preventing deployment
BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Arvada-based company Lunar Outpost’s attempt at making history by landing the rst-ever commercial rover on the moon hit a snag upon arrival, as the spacecraft carrying the rover landed on its side, making it impossible for the rover to be deployed.
Lunar Outpost’s MAPP rover was carried by Intuitive Machine’s Athena Spacecraft, which landed about 5 degrees from the Lunar South Pole on March 6 after launching on the SpaceX Falcon 9 on Feb. 26.
After the touchdown, however, there were some technical challenges. Caroline Cammarano, a member of Lunar Outpost’s communication’s team, said that although the rover survived the journey to the moon, it was unable to drive on the lunar surface due to the Athena’s landing orientation.
“Our Lunar Voyage 1 MAPP rover successfully made it to the Moon, collected data from the lunar surface and in transit, and proved MAPP was ready to drive!” Cammarano said. “Intuitive Machines landing on its side prevented MAPP’s deployment.
“Our data paints a clear picture that MAPP survived the landing attempt and would have driven on the lunar surface and achieved our mission objectives had
it been given the opportunity,” Cammarano continued.
Teams are able to communicate with the machine, said Steve Altemus, CEO of Intuitive Machines, which provided the Athena spacecraft.
“We’ll just have to do the reconstruction and gure out exactly what is the attitude and location, and then we will get on with the rest of the mission,” he said at a NASA press conference.
During the press conference, Altemus said he believes that the machine is in the vicinity of the landing site. ey are waiting for pictures from above, which will come in the next couple of days, to con rm their exact location.
The mission that could have been
Had the landing gone a bit more smoothly, the rover would have set out to complete a slew of rsts, including facilitating the (largely symbolic) rst sale of space resources in human history, a $1 sale of lunar regolith — dust, soil and rock that covers the moon’s surface — to NASA.
In addition to being the rst commercial rover on the moon, the MAPP rover is also the rst American rover on the Lunar South Pole.
Lunar Outpost also has a number of partnerships with companies including Lego, Adidas and Nokia, some of which the company’s Vice President of Strategy Michael Moreno could detail, and some of which he was not yet at liberty to divulge.
Moreno said the company recognizes the gravity of the Lunar Voyage 1 mission’s place in history.
“We feel a tremendous responsibility
to be on the forefront of this, of the lunar economy, and showing people — showing the world — that this is not science ction,” Moreno said. “It’s not something that’s 50 years from now, it’s actually happening — happening (now), and in the weeks and months ahead.”
Moreno added that the company’s long-term goal is to create infrastructure for a workforce on the moon — and beyond. e company has contracts to send four rovers to the moon, and is also building a Lunar Terrain Vehicle for NASA’s Artemis Mission, which aims to establish a sustainable human presence on the moon.
“We’ve grown since (being founded in 2017) with some really exciting milestones… and a future that we envision where we will be running a robotic workforce on the moon and beyond to build lunar infrastructure and help really create that long term sustainable presence for humans in space,” Moreno said.
Looking forward
One of the things the company will explore is their ability to collect Helium-3, which Moreno says is an isotope that’s found in abundance on the moon, but is scarce on Earth. e impacts of that could be wide-ranging, Moreno says, and are cause enough to justify Lunar Outpost’s exploits.
“One of the more exciting (uses) that folks talk about is in fusion energy,” Moreno said. “Commercial fusion energy is not yet a reality, but there are so many companies working on this to create this reality.
“And what it means is, if we are able to crack the code on the fusion energy, and we combine that with the abundance of Helium-3 — the essential ingredient in that — then we e ectively unlock free, unlimited energy for humankind,” Moreno continued. “So, just that alone is a reason to push the boundaries of explo-
ration on the lunar surface.” e company — which has o ces in Luxembourg and Melbourne, Australia, in addition to Golden — recently moved its headquarters and mission control to Arvada just before Lunar Voyage 1. e ribbon cutting for the company’s new headquarters was held on March 5.
Following the Lunar Voyage 1’s unexpected conclusion, Cammarano said Lunar Outpost is looking ahead to future missions.
“We look forward to our upcoming missions – including exploring Reiner Gamma (Lunar Voyage 2), heading back to the South Pole of the Moon (Lunar Voyage 3), and having the rst Australian rover mission to the Moon (Lunar Voyage 4),” Cammarano said. “With our capabilities clearly demonstrated in space, we look forward to further showcasing what our mobility systems can achieve.”

Small program helps seniors age in place
Medicare does not cover services of CAPABLE
BY JOANNE KENEN KFF HEALTH NEWS
Chikao Tsubaki had been having a terrible time.
In his mid-80s, he had a stroke. en lymphoma. en prostate cancer. He was fatigued, isolated, not all that steady on his feet.
en Tsubaki took part in an innovative care initiative that, over four months, sent an occupational therapist, a nurse, and a handy worker to his home to help gure out what he needed to stay safe. In addition to grab bars and rails, the handy worker built a bookshelf so neither Tsubaki nor the books he cherished would topple over when he reached for them.
Reading “is kind of the back door for my cognitive health — my brain exercise,” said Tsubaki, a longtime community college teacher. Now 87, he lives independently and walks a mile and a half almost every day.
e program that helped Tsubaki remain independent, called Community Aging in Place: Advancing Better Living for Elders, or CAPABLE, has been around for 15 years and is o ered in about 65 places across 26 states, including Colorado. It helps people 60 and up, and some younger people with disabilities or limitations, who want to remain at home but have trouble with activities like bathing, dressing or moving around safely. Several published studies have
found the program saves money and prevents falls, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says contribute to the deaths of 41,000 older Americans and cost Medicare about $50 billion each year.
Despite evidence and accolades, CAPABLE remains small, serving roughly 4,600 people to date. Insurance seldom covers it (although the typical cost of $3,500 to $4,000 per client is less than many health care interventions). Traditional Medicare and most Medicare Advantage private insurance plans don’t cover it. Only four states use funds from Medicaid, the federal-state program for low-income and disabled people. CAPABLE gets by on a patchwork of grants from places like state agencies for aging and philanthropies.
e payment obstacles are an object lesson in how insurers, including Medicare, are built around paying for doctors and hospitals treating people who are injured or sick — not around community services that keep people healthy. Medicare has billing codes for treating a broken hip, but not for avoiding one, let alone for something like having a handy person “tack down loose carpet near stairs.”
And while keeping someone alive longer may be a desirable outcome, it’s not necessarily counted as savings under federal budget rules. A 2017 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services evaluation found that CAPABLE had high satisfaction rates and some savings. But its limited size made it hard to assess the long-term economic impact.
It’s unclear how the Trump administration will approach senior care.
Vote
e barriers to broader state or federal nancing are frustrating, said Sarah Szanton, who helped create CAPABLE while working as a nurse practitioner doing home visits in west Baltimore. Some patients struggled to reach the door to open it for her. One tossed keys to her out of a second-story window, she recalled. Seeking a solution, Szanton discovered a program called ABLE, which brought an occupational therapist and a handy worker to the home. Inspired by its success, Szanton developed CAPABLE, which added a nurse to check on medications, pain, and mental well-being, and do things like help participants communicate with doctors. It began in 2008. Szanton since 2021 has been the dean of Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, which coordinates research on CAPABLE. e model is participatory, with the client and care team “problemsolving and brainstorming together,” said Amanda Goodenow, an occupational therapist who worked in hospitals and traditional home health before joining CAPABLE in Denver, where she also works for the CAPABLE National Center, the nonpro t that runs the program.
CAPABLE doesn’t profess to x all the gaps in U.S. long-term care, and it doesn’t work with all older people. ose with dementia, for example, don’t qualify. But studies show it does help participants live more safely at home with greater mobility. And one study that Szanton coauthored estimated Medicare savings of around $20,000 per person would continue for two years after a CAPABLE intervention.
“To us, it’s so obvious the impact that can be made just in a short amount of
time and with a small budget,” said Amy Eschbach, a nurse who has worked with CAPABLE clients in the St. Louis area, where a Medicare Advantage plan covers CAPABLE. at St. Louis program caps spending on home modi cations at $1,300 a person.
Both Hill sta and CMS experts who have looked at CAPABLE do see potential routes to broader coverage. One senior Democratic House aide, who asked not to be identi ed because they were not allowed to speak publicly, said Medicare would have to establish careful parameters. For instance, CMS would have to decide which bene ciaries would be eligible. Everyone in Medicare? Or only those with low incomes? Could Medicare somehow ensure that only necessary home modi cations are made — and that unscrupulous contractors don’t try to extract the equivalent of a “copay” or “deductible” from clients?
Szanton said there are safeguards and more could be built in. For instance, it’s the therapists like Goodenow, not the handy workers, who put in the work orders to stay on budget.
For Tsubaki, whose books are not only shelved but organized by topic, the bene ts have endured.
“I became more independent. I’m able to handle most of my activities. I go shopping, to the library, and so forth,” he said. His pace is slow, he acknowledged. But he gets there.

Support grows for Pettersen bill on remote voting for reps
BY ELYSE APEL THE CENTER SQUARE
Bipartisan support is growing for a U.S. House resolution that would change the rules to allow House members to vote remotely while on parental leave.
Spearheaded by U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Colorado, House Resolution 23 is receiving national media attention after Pettersen traveled to Washington D.C. with her four-week-old son to cast her vote.
“Unfortunately, Republican leadership denied my ability to vote remotely after giving birth to my son, Sam, but that’s not stopping us from showing up to vote no on this disastrous budget proposal,” Pettersen said on social media, in a February post that quickly went viral.
U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Florida, is one of those co-sponsors.
“Congress needs to get with the times,” Luna said of the resolution. “No parent should have to choose between caring for their child and ful lling their duties in Congress to represent their constituents. We will get it done!”
Currently, no proxy voting is allowed on the oor of the House or Senate. is was a Republican response to an expansion in proxy voting over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, which both political sides have acknowledged was abused at times.
It’s time for a change, though, advocates for the resolution argue.
“Historically, it’s been much more wealthy, older men who serve in Congress,” Pettersen said in a recent interview. “ is isn’t designed for young families and for young women especially.”
Some Republicans have joined with Pettersen in supporting the resolution. Currently, it has 158 co-sponsors in the U.S. House: 149 Democrats and 9 Republicans.
Lawmakers seek to delay childcare cuts for youngest
Move by legislators aims to deter planned cuts
BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT
A powerful legislative committee on Feb. 27 expressed an interest in reversing some planned cuts to a Colorado program that provides therapies to babies and toddlers with delays.
While the details are still up in the air, lawmakers on the Joint Budget Committee essentially pledged to nd funding to prevent thousands of young children who get services through the state’s Early Intervention program from losing certain therapies starting this month.
e committee’s decision is sure to prompt a sigh of relief from parents and therapy providers, many of whom said they were panicked and heartbroken when they learned of the impending cuts announced by the Colorado Department
of Early Childhood a few days before the announcement. e state’s $87 million Early Intervention program serves around 11,000 children from birth to 3 years old each month.
“We are going to get this done and help these kids,” said Sen. Je Bridges, a Democrat who represents parts of the Denver metro area and is chairperson of the committee.
e committee voted unanimously to authorize a bill that would lay out possible xes to the cuts that directly impact children. e meeting was tense at times, with several lawmakers expressing frustration that the Department of Early Childhood’s leaders hadn’t informed the committee about the budget problems that prompted them to plan the cuts.
e cuts would have limited children to four hours of therapy a month, which is a fraction of what some get now. In addition, children who are on Medicaid, a health insurance program for low-income people,

e resolution would change the House rules to permit “parental remote voting by proxy,” which is when a House member designates another representative to vote on their behalf in their absence.
It would allow members who are new parents, both mothers and fathers, to vote by proxy for up to 12 weeks under the House Rules, excluding proxy votes from establishing a quorum.
It would also allow pregnant members to vote by proxy if a pregnancy-related “serious medical condition” prevents travel. Time spent proxy voting pre-birth would count against the 12-week limit for parental leave. e bill was referred to the U.S. House Rules Committee in January. No date has been set for the resolution to be taken up.

Mines project aims to lower bills in mobile homes
Goal is to bring energy e ciency to poor families and communities
BY MARK JAFFE THE COLORADO SUN
It gets cold in Lake County’s high country, and getting warm when you live in a mobile home is expensive. Just ask Armando, whose monthly utility bill for his two-bedroom manufactured house heads toward $300.
“It’s the biggest bill,” said Armando, who like other residents of the predominantly Latino mobile home park asked to be identi ed by only his rst name out of concerns about the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
at bill, however, is dropping thanks to a pilot project spearheaded by the Colorado School of Mines aimed at bolstering energy e ciency across the community through a combination of improvements to the units and a switch to electric appliances.
e upgraded homes are going through their rst winter in the three-year project, with more retro ts to follow in the spring. Armando says he is already seeing an impact. “It looks like I am saving about $35 next month,” he said.
“It is a big di erence,” Armando said. “It stays warm all day. … Hopefully it will get even better.”
One of the updates was a smart thermostat that enables Armando to use his cellphone to turn down the temperature when he and his family are out and turn it
up before they get home — saving natural gas. “It really works,” he said.
e goal of the project is to bring energy e ciency to low-income families and communities, said Paulo TabaresVelasco, a Mines associate professor of mechanical engineering and the project’s lead researcher.
“How can we produce technologies that can work for everybody, not only for people that make $500,000?” Tabares-Velasco said.
e project got jump-started with a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, but has drawn support from the Colorado Energy O ce and Energy Outreach Colorado, which helps low-income households pay their utility bills, as well as a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Moves that slash bills
A key element of the program is upgrading a group of homes at one time. Fifteen of the park’s 28 homes are participating in the pilot. “We are trying to demonstrate that when you retro t and electrify an entire community you get more bene ts,” Tabares-Velasco said.
Last summer, the rst upgrades were made. ese included low- ow shower heads and LED lighting. e oors were insulated and the homes were air sealed.
e gas furnaces were replaced with high-e ciency gas furnaces.
In some cases, doors and windows were replaced or a new refrigerator was added. ese are the kinds of steps that are already cutting Armando’s utility bills.
Next spring, the electric installations will be done, including new 100-amp electric panels, a 16.4-kilowatt battery,

induction stoves, electric water heaters and cold-climate mini-split heat pumps. Cold-climate heat pumps, which squeeze heat out of even very cold air, are rated to work to 13 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, well below Leadville’s average winter low of minus 5 degrees.
Leadville temperatures, however, have slipped below minus 25 at least 24 times in the past 60 years with a record minus 38, in February 1985. e high-e ciency gas furnaces will serve as backup.
Most of the work is being done through the Weatherization Assistance Program, which is a federal initiative administered by the Colorado Energy O ce.
Since 2018 the state program has been helping homeowners and even some renters individually upgrade their properties, but is now interested in the opportunities communitywide improvements might o er.
“Is it more e cient for us to weatherize and electrify a group of homes all at once?” asked Michelle Butler, a senior engagement manager for the energy ofce’s weatherization program who is working on the Lake County pilot.
Butler said the o ce also wanted to see if there are economies in bulk purchases and bigger contracts with installers. “We wanted to see what the bene ts are in scaling up, how do we do that at scale,” she said.
e energy o ce has budgeted about $1.3 million for the Lake County project.
Resident-owned communities are eligible e energy o ce helped homeowners ll out the application for the weatherization grants, which are long and ask for personal details, including nancial information. “ at may have been a reason some people decided not to join,” Tabares-Velasco said.
Most manufactured homes are not eligible for the weatherization program because the families don’t own their homes or own them but lease land in a park to put them on.
“More than 90% of manufactured homes are split-tenure,” said Zachary Lamb, an assistant city and regional planning professor at the University of California Berkeley, who is studying manufactured homes as an underused housing resource.
“ ere is this general reluctance of state and government programs to deal with these parks,” Lamb said. “ ey don’t want to give funds to landlords.”
In his research in California, Lamb said manufactured home parks have been more susceptible to blackouts and brownouts. In Arizona trying to cool a manufactured home is a challenge. “ ere is no insulation, poor wiring,” Lamb said. “It is a huge issue from an energy justice perspective.”
e Lake County park was able to tap into federal funds because several years ago the residents — many of whom work in construction and at quarries in the region — got together, bought the park and now run it as a cooperative.
Of the 40,000 manufactured housing communities in the U.S. less than 3% are resident-owned.
“A major bene t of co-op ownership is that it can unlock government and philanthropic funds,” Lamb said. “An indirect bene t is when you have a resident ownership model, residents are more secure in making investments in their homes.”
In 2020, Colorado passed a law to aid homeowners to buy their parks. In 2023, Senate Bill 160 created the Mobile Park Resident Empowerment Program with a $23 million revolving loan and grant fund to help mobile home owners organize and nance their mobile home parks. e fund, administered by the Department of Local A airs, has nanced three mobile home acquisitions, in Dumont, Milliken and Littleton, with a fourth pending, according to Shannon Gray, a DOLA spokeswoman. Four more purchases are planned for this scal year.
Associate Professor Paulo Tabares-Velasco explains to residents how two indoor air quality sensors being installed in their homes work. Tabares-Velasco and his team installed sensors to measure electric energy use, indoor air temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, radon, particulate matter (PM2.5) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in each participant’s house to monitor changes in indoor air quality before and after energy retrofits and electrification.

CUTS
would no longer have been allowed to get developmental intervention, which is therapy that can help young children with attention, cognitive development, and learning.
Planned cuts that only a ect Early Intervention therapists — for example, not reimbursing them for no-shows — will go forward as planned.
Parents, therapists, and lawmakers all expressed surprise when
they heard about the cuts. Leaders from the early childhood department said the cuts were needed to stave o a projected $4 million shortfall caused by a growing Early Intervention caseload, the expiration of federal COVID stimulus funds, and the fact that fewer children are eligible for Medicaid.
But some lawmakers on the Joint Budget Committee were angry they had never been alerted of the impending shortfall or service cuts to babies and toddlers with disabilities.
Rep. Rick Taggart, a Republican from western Colorado, called it “insulting, to say the least.”
MOBILE HOMES
Residents in four other parks — in Lafayette, Durango, Glenwood Springs and one near Boulder — have purchased or are working toward buying their parks with the help of two nonpro ts, istle Community Housing and resident-owned community organization ROC USA.
Better decisions through data
While being a cooperative has enabled the Lake County park to access dollars and new hardware, an equally important part of the project is putting more information and more control in the hands of the homeowners.
On a February morning, Tabares-Velasco was knocking on doors in the park distributing electronic tablets, or dashboards, that will help residents monitor their energy use and the air quality of their homes.
Jeanni Stefanik, chief nancial o cer for the early childhood department, said the funding shortfall “was not fully realized until just a few weeks ago” and called the factors contributing to it “a perfect storm.”
It’s not entirely clear why state o cials, who said they routinely monitor the number of children in Early Intervention, weren’t aware of the possible funding shortfall earlier.

In addition to the upgrades, the Mines researchers had added so-called smart plugs, which can monitor energy consumption from speci c appliances, such as a refrigerator, a meter measuring electricity ow at the breakers, and sensors monitoring radon, carbon dioxide and particulates.
“One of the bene ts we want to quantify is when we electrify a home and remove a gas stove, furnace and hot water heater how much do you improve the air quality,”
Tabares-Velasco said.
Tabares-Velasco showed Armando how to navigate the tablet and access the data — in either Spanish or English. “ ere is a lot there,” Armando said.
With a touch of a nger, they could tap into the home’s energy use by day, week or month, the current utility bill, a forecast for next month’s bill, the home’s biggest electricity users, how it compares with neighbors in the program and all the air-quality readings.
e goal of the dashboards is to put
knowledge and control in the hands of the homeowners so they can take steps to manage their energy use and air quality, Tabares-Velsaco said.
“If they see a high carbon dioxide reading, they’ll know to switch on a fan or open a window,” he said. “And if they see that their energy use is higher than their neighbors’ they will have an incentive to curb their use.”
“We hope we can get people to make the right choices with the right information,” Tabares-Velasco said.
While the pilot is working with a handful of manufactured homes in the Colorado Rockies, the hope is the lessons learned can have broader implications.
“It doesn’t have to be a home park,” Tabares-Velasco said. “If we can go into a neighborhood and do an entire block, say 80 homes, get them on board to retro t, there is a lot of leverage there.”
A home park in Lake County is a start, he said. “If we can x it here, we can x it everywhere else.”

WWORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
hen our oldest daughter, Kate, was just over two years old, I found her perched on top of the refrigerator with one hand holding open the door of the freezer and the other reaching in to grab an Otter Pop.
I was shocked by the sight and asked her what she was doing. Kate, who always wanted to be exactly like her mother and therefore refused to call me “Dad” because that’s not what Beth (Mom) called me, turned her head, looked at me, and said, “Nothing, Jim.”
To get in this precarious prone position six feet o the ground, Kate had gone to the corner of the kitchen and placed her plastic step stool on the counter. She then must have moved her highchair across the kitchen so that she could use the chair to climb onto the counter.
VOICES
Finding the will and the way
Apparently, after getting on the counter, she pushed her step stool over next to the refrigerator, stepped up on it and climbed on top of the refrigerator. From there, for this two-year-old fearless climber, it was easy to open the freezer door and begin to reach down to grab the prize.
We can critique our parenting regarding this situation all day long. How is it that a 2-year-old could be left alone long enough to accomplish such a feat? Why did I not hear the furniture being moved? What other safety features were not in place? e list goes on. In the end, whether it was good parenting or not, after getting her down safely from the top of the refrigerator, Katie, Beth, and I had Otter Pops. I am sure we took a few minutes to talk about not doing that anymore, but I do not remember that
part of the conversation. We have shared that story with people numerous times over the course of the last 30 years laughing with each retelling. ose are great memories. In the last 16 years, since my MS. Diagnosis, I have come to recognize that beyond the great memories, the story holds lessons about overcoming obstacles. ree things stand out for me.

A good hiking summer starts with some know-how
We are in the middle of March, which is typically one of our snowiest months, but we all know that it’s soon to be followed by the month that is always known as the one that has the April showers which bring on the May owers. at means it’s going to be warming up soon, and we’ll probably be spending a lot more time outside. I say “probably” because you know there are some people who don’t really like the great outdoors and spend their summers running from air conditioner to air conditioner. If that’s you, then this week’s column probably won’t exactly inspire you much. at’s because I ran across a little event coming up that triggered the whole idea for what to cover this week. In case you didn’t know, our City of Golden has a lot of great things going on all the time at the recreation center and other facilities, but Je erson County also has a bunch of programs to o er, and most of them are free. To nd them, just go to www.je co.us. On the left side of the website there are a few tabs with just pictures, and the third one down looks like a calendar. Click on that one. Guess where it takes you? Yup, the events calendar page. So now that you are there, you can scroll up and down to check out all kinds of different things they have happening. Some of them are probably not going to be too interesting, but scroll down to the sections labeled Fairgrounds and the one that caught my attention this week, the Open Space Master Calendar. ey have quite a few classes and workshops for everyone from preschoolers to adults and those all focus on doing things to enhance your visits to the vast network of Je co Open Space Parks throughout the county.
AVENUE FLASHES
e one that caught my eye is the “Back to Basics: Hiking Basics” class. It’s going to be happening on Friday night, March 21, from 6-8 p.m. It’s part of a series and is all about building your con dence as a visitor to Je co Open Space Parks, enhancing your skills, and fostering a deep connection with the natural world. In this session they will be working toward understanding the essentials of hiking gear, trail etiquette and safety as the rst steps toward embracing great outdoor adventures. In other words, it’s going to show you how to go hiking and come home in one piece. More on that in a minute. It’s happening at Je co Open Space Headquarters in the Ponderosa Room. at’s located at 700 Je erson County Parkway, Suite 100, here in Golden. It’s open to all ages. Admission is free but youth must be accompanied by an adult, and you will need to register for it in advance. You can do that right there on the website.
I can read some of your minds right now. “Jeez, John. Why do you need to take a class on hiking? You just go to a trail and walk up it and back down. People have been doing that since the dawn of time, and they didn’t need to take some kind of class. at’s a waste of time.”
Well, hold your horses there, buckaroo, and listen to some words of wisdom from an older guy who is an experienced mountaineer, has had wilderness survival training starting when he was in the 6th grade, rst aid training, avalanche train-
ing, is a high-rated hiker and is someone who has helped pull more than one injured person o a mountain.
Oh, and I also used to teach wildlife classes as a docent at the Denver Zoo. So, trust me when I tell you that if you head up to the mountains for a hike and you don’t have the right gear, clothing and equipment, have no clue about reading terrain, watching the weather and underestimate things like river currents and how severe your exposure is, you can end up having a very, very bad day out there.
Yes, a lot of us grew up in places where we learned these skills through experience and from friends and family members, but there are a lot of folks that are from places that have more concrete than trees and could probably use a little instruction before they step on the wrong rock in their ip- ops and end up with a busted ankle at the bottom of a ravine. In a place where there’s no cell service, and a bear shing 100 yards upstream. ere’s a lot more to hiking in the mountains than just walking up the pathway.
So, now you have a good place to start getting ready for a fun summer of hiking. When you want to get more serious about it, then take a look at the other resource here in Golden. My favorite is the Colorado Mountain Club at www.cmc.org.. I’ll be getting more into that in a future column, so stay tuned. Summer is just around the corner!

FINDING PIECES OF IRELAND IN THE METRO AREA
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rather than vibrant green landscapes and stone bridges arched over running waters, the Rocky Mountains act as the backdrop for various pieces of Irish culture throughout the Denver metro area. Ireland’s rich history shines through in many aspects of life, re ected in clothing, cuisine, artwork, family life and much more.
However, it’s the music, dancing and pubs that play integral roles in the nation’s identity and keeps Irish culture alive across Denver.
“Denver has a strong Irish cultural scene,” said Ariel Bennett, owner of the Denver-based Heritage Irish Stepdancers dance school.
Denver’s Irish history
e Irish have had a strong presence in Denver since the mid-to-late 1800s.
Between 1845 and 1855, many Irish people immigrated to the United States due to the Great Famine in Ireland that decimated potato crops. A few decades later, Irish immigrants migrated to Leadville when silver was discovered. But when the Colorado Silver Boom ended in 1893, they began to make their way to Denver.
ey continued to work as laborers, but as generations evolved with the turn of the century, the Irish became more involved in the development of the city – in uencing religion, education and politics.
“Including eight Irish dance schools, a number of Irish pubs and a bunch of home-grown Celtic bands.”
e in uence of the Irish continues to be seen today through dance, music and pubs.
“Singing, playing and dancing are an essential part of social interaction, artistic expression and cultural identity,” Bennett said.
Stepping into the culture
When Bennett was a child, her mom, Molly, played in an Irish band and while playing at a party, Molly met two teenagers from Ireland. e teens asked if anyone would be interested in joining an Irish dance class.
Bennett was immediately put in the class and was later joined by her sister and mom.
e family started their own school, Heritage Irish Stepdancers, in 1998. While the main studio is in Denver, located at 7808 Cherry Creek South Drive, they also have classes at the Dance Academy, 8600 Park Meadows Drive in Lone Tree, and at Flatirons Dance, 8390 W. 80th Ave. in Arvada.
Although the exact origin of Irish dance is unknown, Bennett has learned about the di erent types of dances and how important it is to the culture.
ere are two forms of Irish social dancing. One is called set dancing, which has roots in English dancing, said Bennett, and the other is ceili dancing. is type of dance – which has become popular in competitions – involves couples dancing with other couples, similar to American square dancing.
“Sometimes people would do what was called a stepabout at these gatherings, where dancers would take turns showing o their fanciest moves,” Bennett said.
One of the more commonly-known styles is seeing the dancers with their arms by their sides. is is stepdancing, also known as solo dancing, and there are two styles within stepdancing. e soft shoe is more like ballet and the hard shoe is more like tap.
Also, women typically perform light and graceful moves while men do moves that are more powerful and rhythmic.
“Historically, stepdancing was done by common people, and they didn’t have special dance equipment,” said Bennett. “ ey wore ordinary clothes and shoes when they danced.”
Women and girls wore knee-length dresses with embroidered Celtic designs, said Bennett, but as competitive Irish dance became more popular, performance attire became shorter and lighter, with bright and bold designs.
For Bennett, Irish culture has always been part of her life, and over time, she has seen how dancing plays a key role in Irish identity.

PIECES OF IRELAND
Unique and distinctive music
“I was once told by an Irish person that the way you tell if someone has Celtic blood in them is by putting on Irish music. If they tap their feet and can’t sit still, they’re a Celt,” said Bennett. “ is just shows the importance that music has in Irish culture.”
With distinctive rhythms and unique traditional instruments, Irish music has always been a way to express emotions, tell stories and share culture.
Laura Schulkind, founder and executive director of the Chamber Music Society of Greater Denver, has been traveling around the metro area this March with the chamber, celebrating Celtic culture through music.
“Celtic music can be sorrowful, re ecting a lost love,” said Schulkind. “Or joyful and full of dance.”
Similar to many cultures, music was used to resist oppression. And Celtic music has also been used to preserve history, celebrate the nation’s identity and build community. It’s the instruments that are unique to the Celtic sound that instills life into the music.
Although Schulkind is a utist, she nds the distinctive sound of the Irish harp soothing and uplifting, making it one of her favorite instruments.
Other instruments that make up the Celtic sound include ddles, utes, the mandolin, concertina, tin whistles, highland pipes, uilleann pipes, Irish Bouzouki and the bodhrán.
A bodhrán is a frame drum where one side of the drum is open and the musician places their hand against the inside of the drum to control the tone and pitch while the other hand beats the drum.
“ e instruments create a rich texture that can go from a dense sound to a very light sound,” Schulkind said.
It’s often said that Irish music is a blend of storytelling and musical expression. Schulkind agrees.
A piece Schulkind is playing is called “In Ireland” by Hamilton Harty. She said the note at the beginning from the composer states: “In a Dublin street at dusk, two wandering musicians are playing.”
“ e composer is compelling me to tell a story with his piece,” said Schulkind. “He wants me to paint a picture with sound through the fantasy-type writing at the beginning and the joyful music at the end.”
Celtic music is not just for formal settings.
‘Good-ole Irish craic’
“Many of the tunes are also drinking tunes for the pubs,” Schulkind said.
From Celtic on Market to the Irish Rover, there are a multitude of pubs hidden throughout the Denver metro area. ere may not be as many as the 6,000 plus like in Ireland, but the metro area has its fair share.
Pubs are more than just a place to grab a drink. ey serve as a hub for the community, fostering a sense of belonging and contribution to the town.
“You just sit and have a good time, chat with your local friends, meet new people – and that’s exactly what we’ve tried to establish here,” said Megan Casey.
Casey has worked at Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub for 14 years and has fallen in love with getting to know the community and sharing a piece of Ireland.
e pub is a small, bright red building tucked away o Main Street in downtown Littleton. It rst opened in 2009 by two men – one of whom is from Ireland – after owning Scru y Murphy’s in downtown Denver.
Littleton “de nitely had the small town charm that a lot of Irish pubs have,” Casey said, adding that the building was remodeled in 2013 to make the pub more authentic.
While musical and stepdancing performances, as well as fundraising for local charities bring authenticity to the pub, Casey said getting to know its patrons on a personal level is what makes the pub feel genuine.
Having been to Ireland a few times, Casey said everyone in the pub is treated like family and that is what they aim for at Ned Kelly’s.
“ e few Irish pubs that I was in, that’s exactly how it was,” said Casey. “Everybody just welcomed you and wanted to get to know you. Like they say, ‘the good-ole Irish craic.”’
Stepdancing, also known as solo dancing, is a form of dance where the dancers perform with their arms down to their sides where women typically perform light and graceful moves while men do moves that are more powerful and rhythmic. COURTESY OF ARIEL BENNETT

At a recent City Council meeting, Richie explained how Golden History Museum started collaborating with Colorado’s historic Native American tribes and local community members a few years ago, as it wanted to incorporate more Native American history and perspectives into its exhibits.
e museum was founded in 1938 as the Je erson County Historical Museum and was later called the Golden Pioneer Museum. Since its inception, the museum has mostly focused on the Clear Creek Valley’s White settlers, Richie described. However, both museum sta and visitors believed the museum should include more about the area’s Native American history.
To that end, the museum worked to strengthen the bonds between Golden and the Native American community, including tribes that call the Clear Creek
Valley home such as the Oklahoma-based Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, as well as Denver-area residents of Native American descent.
According to the Transcript’s previous coverage, GHM completed an ethnographic study of Golden, established a Native American Advisory Board, built a Na-
tive American arbor in the history park as a gathering and celebration space, among otherprojects.
During this time, Richie said he and his sta met others from local museums and public art agencies that were doing or wanted to do similar work.
So, GMH and others started the Indigenous Connections Network that meets quarterly, either online or in-person, to share ideas and work with tribal representatives more e ciently.
“Because (Native American history) is more regional history, it makes sense to be aware of what others are doing,” Richie said. “We’re working with some of the same tribal representatives, so how can we maximize their time and resources?”
However, Richie said, many museums and art agencies didn’t know where to start, or wanted to learn more. So, Indigenous Connections Network members put together the conference in Golden, Richie said, and so far, it’s received major interest and support.
If the Indigenous Connections Summit goes well, Richie said the organizers might make it a regular event.
Richie hopes Goldenites will stop by the “ is is Native Art” exhibit, either during the March 19 opening reception or later this year.

Should Colorado fear measles outbreaks?
Health leaders say vaccination is the best prevention
BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN
e ongoing measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico is edging closer to Colorado, at least geographically.
Four cases — and possibly a fth — have been reported in the Texas Panhandle county of Dallam, which sits about 35 miles south of Colorado’s southern border, separated by the Oklahoma Panhandle. is doesn’t mean an outbreak is imminent in Colorado, of course. But state health o cials have been getting ready in case one is.
“Right now we are ensuring that we are prepared,” said Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “We know that measles cases can occur at any time. But we know the risk is going to be greater when there are large outbreaks occurring in other parts of the country.”
So what should you be doing now and how worried should you be? e Sun talked to Herlihy and to Dr. Michelle Barron, an infectious disease expert at UCHealth. Here are some answers.
What’s going on with this measles outbreak?
At least 155 cases have been reported in Texas and New Mexico as of March 4, with 146 of those reported in Texas.
e cases in Texas have been concentrated in children, with 40 occurring in kids under the age of 5, and 70 more in kids ages 5 through 17. One child has died, the rst measles death in the United States since 2015.
Of the 146 cases in Texas, ve have been in people who were inoculated with at

least one dose of a measles vaccine. Of the remaining cases, 79 are in people who are unvaccinated and 62 in people with unknown vaccination status.
e outbreak was initially concentrated in an under-vaccinated Mennonite community in West Texas, but it has since spread outward.
Nationwide, a total of 164 cases of measles have been reported so far in 2025, including the Texas and New Mexico outbreaks. Of those infected, 20% have been hospitalized.
“I want people to fully appreciate that this is a huge outbreak, and we have not seen anything like this in a very long time,” Barron said.
Have there been any infections in Colorado?
As of March 4, there have been no measles infections in Colorado from the current outbreak.
e last measles case in a Colorado resident was in 2023. e patient was an adolescent who had traveled abroad.
Travel is a common source of exposure, Barron said, and Colorado often sees a case of measles every year or so related to travel. But you have to go all the way back to the mid-1990s to nd the last time there was a locally transmitted case of measles in Colorado, Herlihy said.
Back up, what is measles? Why is it bad?
People often associate measles with its telltale red rash. But the disease can be much more aggressive than that — attacking the brain and the respiratory system. Barron said the rash is typically at and not itchy. Another common symptom are white dots in the mouth called Koplik spots.
e disease can also cause ear infection and diarrhea. Worse, the disease can cause pneumonia or swelling of the brain, which is what can lead to hospitalization and death. Severe complications and
deaths are most common in children under 5.
at’s bad enough, but measles also has a superpower: its contagiousness. e measles virus is among the most contagious ever documented, with one infected person able to pass the disease to as many as 18 other people. e virus is airborne and can linger in the air for as long as two hours after being exhaled by an infected person.
What can people do to prevent measles?
As with all viruses, good hygiene is helpful — wash hands thoroughly, avoid touching your face, wear a tight- tting mask in settings where you think you could be exposed, etc. But because the virus is so contagious, it can be di cult to avoid it if you are susceptible to infection. So the key, Herlihy said, is to make yourself not susceptible.
“We certainly want to make sure that Coloradans that are working on spring break plans are thinking about vaccine plans ahead of time,” she said.
A two-dose series of the MMR vaccine, which also covers the diseases mumps and rubella, is 97% e ective at protecting against measles.
e rst dose of MMR vaccine is typically given to kids around their rst birthday, but it can be given to kids as young as 6 months old if they will be traveling, especially internationally. ( ose kids will still need two doses after they turn 1.) e best advice, Barron and Herlihy said, is to talk to your pediatrician for guidance.
I’ve already had measles or a measles vaccine. Do I need a booster?
e measles vaccine has gone through various formulas and dosing schedules over the years, creating an immunization hodgepodge, depending on when you were born (assuming you got your typical childhood vaccines as a kid).
Here’s what the state advises:
- For people born before 1957, you were likely exposed to measles as a kid. Prior infection is believed to create lifelong immunity for most, so no additional vaccination is recommended.
these folks to get a booster dose, since one dose of MMR is 93% e ective. But Barron said people in this group who didn’t get a second dose later in life may want to get a booster, especially if you live or work around young children.
Herlihy and Barron said there is no known harm in getting a booster if you are unsure of your vaccination status. Again, though, talking it through with your doctor is the best policy.
Does Colorado have a high measles vaccination rate?
Colorado is among the states with the lowest measles vaccination rates in the country for school-age children. at has long been true, but the COVID pandemic — both the lack of access to health care that many families experienced during the pandemic, as well as the rising levels of vaccine skepticism — made it worse. e percentage of kids in kindergarten through 12th grade who were fully vaccinated against measles in Colorado hit its lowest level last year in at least six years. In the 2023-24 school year, 93.7% of students had received a full course of the MMR vaccine. at may sound like a lot, but it is below the target level for achieving herd immunity. Because measles is so contagious, health experts say 95% vaccination coverage is needed to ensure the disease can’t spread within a community.
While many districts do hit that mark, there are pockets with measles vaccination coverage below 80%. e state’s immunization dashboard has data by district and by school.
Is it time to worry yet?
Barron said she isn’t trying to cause alarm, but she has been losing sleep as she worries about what could come from the growing outbreak in Texas and New Mexico. at’s why she said it is important for people to know their vaccination status.

- For people born before 1968, you may have received an ine ective vaccine, especially if you were born from 1963 through 1967. You should receive a booster dose of the MMR vaccine unless you happen to know that the vaccine you received was a live measles vaccine, and not an inactivated measles vaccine. If you’re unsure, the recommendation is to get the booster.

“I don’t want to scare people, but I think people should truly be aware,” she said. While measles has crept closest to Colorado’s southeastern border, Herlihy said she doesn’t see any one area or community more at-risk than another. Measles can just as easily be spread by someone on a plane or driving to the mountains for spring break.
“Really, it’s statewide,” she said of the area she’s watching. “It’s really di cult to predict.”

DONATION
As of Feb. 27, Withrow estimated more than 100 Orediggers had registered during the annual drive. is included a few Sigma Kappa members like freshman Mary Hage and junior Ava Weiss. Weiss said she wished she could’ve registered sooner, but she was traveling abroad before. However, she was happy to swab her cheeks and submit her sample alongside Hage, as their sorority sisters kept time for them and cheered them on.
Both Hage and Weiss were excited at the chance to help people with blood cancers.
Fellow sorority sister Jasmine Lucas said she was ineligible because she has
an autoimmune disorder but wanted to support the cause, saying she understands how exhausting hospital visits, getting tested and generally going through the medical system can be.
Lucas, a sophomore, said Sigma Kappa as a worldwide sorority has ve other philanthropic causes it supports. However, this cause is speci c to the Mines chapter because of Rotramel-Ronhovde.
In the fall, the Mines chapter hosts another fundraiser for Alzheimer’s awareness and research, but the stem cell donor registration drive is always in the spring.
Lucas said she hoped other Orediggers would register and continue spreading awareness about the cause. Some who’ve registered through Sigma Kappa’s drive have been contacted about matching with a cancer patient. So, she emphasized, that if people do register,
there’s a chance they might be contacted and asked to help someone.
Withrow said her dad has been diagnosed with a type of blood cancer, although he hasn’t required a bone marrow transplant yet. She said that experience has helped her connect with her sorority’s annual drive, explaining how that kind of diagnosis is a terrifying prospect for the patient and their loved ones.
She emphasized the importance of extending people’s lives and improving their well-being, so they can spend more time with their loved ones after their diagnosis.
For those who couldn’t register during this year’s drive, Withrow said Sigma Kappa will be back next year.
For those who are interested in registering now or who want more information about DKMS, visit dkms.org.
As seen
Feb. 27, the Colorado School of Mines chapter of the Sigma Kappa sorority posts humorous signs inside the student center encouraging people to register as potential stem cell donors during their annual registration drive. The sorority has hosted the drive for about 10 years in memory of Jennifer Rotramel-Ronhovde, a chapter member who died of leukemia in 2012.
The Colorado School of Mines chapter of the Sigma Kappa sorority hosts a stem cell donor registration drive Feb. 27 inside the student center. The sorority hoped to register at least 200 people for the DKMS stem cell donor registry during its weeklong drive Feb. 24-28.

Mines redshirt junior Margaux Basart also earned the RMAC Summit Award for her academic work, Mines Athletics con rmed. e honor goes to the competitor at the championship meet with the highest overall GPA, and Basart and other Orediggers have won it before. For eld events, the Mines women excelled. Redshirt junior Jennifer Jarnagin
Colorado School of Mines freshman Jake LaFore takes sixth place in the men’s 60-meter dash during the Feb. 28-March 1 RMAC Indoor Track & Field Championships. LaFore was competing as part of the men’s heptathlon, and he finished 11th overall, a personal best.

Mines soccer star joins professional team in Austria
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After making history at Colorado School of Mines, Reese McDermott will be taking her soccer talents overseas.
e Houston native and Mines striker has joined Austria’s FC Pinzgau Saalfelden, Mines Athletics recently announced. McDermott was set to join the team ahead of its season opener this month.
FC Pinzgau Saalfelden plays at the stunning 1508 Saalfelden Arena with the dramatic backdrop of the Alps making it one of the most beautiful venues for soccer in Europe, according to a club website.
McDermott, who graduated from Mines in December with a degree in quantitative biosciences & engineering, set a number of program records and received several individual accolades during her four years with the Orediggers. Among her recent accolades, she was
named Sportswoman of the Year in NCAA Division II soccer by the Sportswomen of Colorado. She was also featured in a commercial promoting NCAA Division II student-athletes.
During the 2024 season, the Orediggers went undefeated in the regular season, won both the RMAC regular-season and tournament titles, and advanced to the NCAA Division II quarter nals.
In that time, McDermott scored a career-high 19 goals with seven assists and played 1,457 minutes. In the postseason, she had three goals with two assists, including the game-winning goal in the RMAC tournament title game against Fort Lewis.
cDermott tied for second in Division II in goals scored, according to Mines Athletics, and set the program record for fastest consecutive goals by an individual — 29 seconds apart during the Sept. 20 game at St. Martin’s.

Future of snow sports and next generations
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Olympic Gold Medalist and X-Games
standout Shaun White sat with Colorado Community Media’s John Renfrow to discuss teaching kids the skills to excel on the mountain and his new project, e Snow League.
Colorado Community Media: Why is SNÖBAHN such a good resource and tool for aspiring action sports athletes? Why did you want to get involved?
White: I think it’s pretty obvious. You take one step into this place and go, “Oh, wow, like the trampoline setup and this entire skate park, the learn-to-ride areas.” And so I just thought it was so exciting. And there were a bunch of kids excited about it, talking about it. And I think I stepped into my 8-year-old self or whatever, and I was like, “Man, I would kill to have had something like this.” Can you imagine? ese kids get it all. And then I was thinking about what type of athlete that would maybe bring about in the future, having access to something like this. And not only during the winter, where you can ride or go learn tricks up on the mountain, but when it’s not winter time, you you can come here year-round and learn.
CCM: How do facilities like this make the sports more accessible compared to when you were an up-and-coming snowboarder?
White: I started thinking about when I grew up riding, you know, it’s such an expensive sport. In a family of ve, lodging, these tickets, it’s such an expensive sport. And so to come to somewhere like this and learn and then take those skills to the mountain and have a better experience, you can get the most bang for your buck when you’re there. I mean, you don’t want to spend that kind of money and just be like, hooking an edge, trying to learn how to ride all day. It’d be nice to get there and really explore the mountain for what you’re paying. I think it just breathes life into the sport. It supports the youth. It’s temperature-controlled. It’s a more controlled environment. My family members get to ride more often than most, but still, they wanted to go enjoy the mountain, but they’re there teaching and helping the kids out. And so I just think it’s so awesome to have this on many di erent levels for sure.
CCM: What’s your vision for e Snow League? How exciting is it to be debut week?
White: e goal is to just to change the sport; how it’s viewed by the spectator and at home. We’ve got a whole new format, a whole new way of watching and understanding what’s happening in the sport. And then changing just the competitive landscape for the actual athletes — any traditional sport: tennis, football, hockey, F1, whatever — you can go nd out how your team or your favorite ath-
lete is doing. It’s really di cult in (snowboarding). We want to make it like any other traditional sport. One home, one hub for the sport, and it’ll just make it better for the athletes and better for the viewers and people. And I felt like I was the right person for the job, from having that experience as a competitor and knowing the resort owners and the landscape and what’s needed.
CCM: How have snowboarders or skiers responded to this new tour format and event?
White: Just hearing their excitement on the phone was probably one of the coolest experiences of all this. But then I think the most kind of “pinch me” moment was the amount of resumes we started getting from people within the industry that are like, “ is is amazing. We’ve needed this for so long and I’d love to be a part of, if I could, in some way.” We want to take the world’s best, put them at the world’s best resorts and then have the biggest prize there’s ever been. And for athletes, in your path to qualify for the Olympics, you’ll get points at our events. We don’t want athletes to say, “Oh, I want to do Shaun’s thing, but I know you get points at other events that go towards your qualifying for the Olympics.” We wanted to make sure it was just like a plus experience. And so we were thrilled.
CCM: A lot of kids here today. How much do you enjoy spending time with the youth and passing down some wis-
dom to the next generation?
White: It’s one of the joys for me, you know, sharing that experience. And I remember being that age and asking pros for tips on tricks and whatever. I’m excited to be able to pay that forward and and just be in the mix. And it’s fun for me. I’ve done this for my entire life. And the big fear as an athlete is like, “Oh, I retire, and then everything stops,” right? You think about traditional sports athletes … does Tom Brady have to go to the park and do pickup games?” So, I love being around it. I love being a part of it. I get that same excitement. I pop into this place all the time, every time I connect through Denver. I’m like, “Oh, I’ll just swing through, say hi to the kids, do my thing.” So yeah, I’m sel shing just investing in the things I like to do.
CCM: How has the sport evolved even as you’ve retired? Do you ever get the itch to get back in the game?
White: I mean, it’s crazy, just to see, the tricks going. Quads are happening all the time in slopestyle. Triples are now happening all the time. I mean … part of me is like, “I could.” (Laughs) I think that just is, like a natural competitor response, having done it for so long. But no, it’s incredible to just see the talent and what countries are swinging in. And you realize, I mean, a lot of the Japanese riders, they have indoor halfpipes. You could go ride all summer long. So let’s have our own setup. I’m excited and I’m just thankful to be as involved in the sport as I am still.
Overall, McDermott is third alltime in goals, points, game-winners, shots and shots on goal at Mines. She’s also fth all-time in assists, among other feats.
McDermott was one of nine seniors who were set to leave Mines at the end of the 2024 season, although some players had additional eligibility they could use if they wanted. e 2025 Orediggers will kick o their season in late August or early September, although the o cial schedule has yet to be announced.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community.

These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/ fhm/BFE_Status/bfe_main.asp , or call the FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).
