Cold comfort for a very cool club Immersion group finds strength, catharsis during chilly dips in Clear Creek

It’s 32 degrees Fahrenheit in Golden and four people have just submerged themselves in the water of Clear Creek.

some of them. “Wooooo” yells another.

This unusual scene is a practice called cold water immersion and while it might look (and sound) like pure lunacy, those hitting the water on this chilly Saturday say that for them it’s just a great way to start the weekend.

“It’s funny, it’s such a stressful event but the whole day after doing it you are just feeling so relaxed and like almost nothing can stress you out,” said John Schlafly, moments after exiting the water.

If you Google one of the more notorious motels along the I-70 and Kipling Street corridor, the sixth listing you come to is a review from a well-known online booking site.

The headline, in all caps, reads “ONLY JUNKIES AND PROSTITUTES.” Other reviews talk about attempted vehicle break-ins, a woman being beaten in a nearby room and the general scariness that accompanies a stay.

To be fair, some reviews are a mixed bag, many saying their stay was fine, others complaining about the roaches. Many reviews however, paints a picture of an area out of control, from those who have ventured in looking for a night of lodging.

Law enforcement and city leaders don’t need to Google it. They’re well aware of issues the hotels pose. In a March 1, meeting of the Wheat Ridge City Council, Police Chief Chris Murtha spoke about the problems that plague a handful of hotels and motels in the city, and what his department thinks they should do about it.

Vaccination efforts missing minority groups in Jeffco White residents getting vaccine in disproportionate numbers

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Over the last 13 weeks, more than 175,000 COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in Jefferson County.

But in that time, a rather troubling picture has begun to emerge about those who are receiving the doses of the still-limited vaccine and those who are not.

Numbers “a concern” On Feb. 23, Jefferson County Public Health Executive Director Dawn Comstock told the county’s board of commissioners that it had become clear early in the vaccination effort that persons living in Jeffco communities with relatively lower risk of COVID-19 disease were “having better success at getting vaccinated.”

At the same time, those communities with a history of higher COVID-19 hospitalization rates had lower vaccination rates at that point.

“That’s concerning to us and something that we are definitely working to address,” said Comstock.

Among the most significant concerns, Comstock said, were the disparities between the number of white residents over 70 who had been vaccinated and those of other races.

Comstock said that as of Feb. 23, 70% of county residents over the age of 70 had received at least one vaccination. In contrast, only 50% of the Black, non-Hispanic 70-plus population in Jeffco had received one.

Even worse, Comstock said, was that among the county’s Hispanic population in that age group only 20% of residents had received a shot.

“We recognize that is a very concerning disparity and we now have numbers to be able to start looking at that and the maps to be able to identify which specific geographic areas have been most hard hit and we are starting to address that,” Comstock said.

Those numbers have improved somewhat since that meeting with 62% of Black and African residents

Resources to find an appointment can also be found at www.jeffco.us/4247/ JCPH-COVID-19-Vaccination-Clinics 70-and-over having received a vaccination as of March 3. However, they remained stubbornly low for Hispanics with just 23.1% of that 70-plus population having received a vaccine.

In contrast, the percentage of White residents who had received a vaccine was at 74.5% while those falling into the “other groups” category have the highest rate of vaccination at 85%.

Comstock also cautions that there is one limitation to the data that is important to keep in mind when considering those numbers: people are able to choose whether or not to disclose their race.

As of Feb. 23, the number of vaccine recipients in the county declining to do so was 11%.

“That does make it difficult for us

to really accurately gauge these race and ethnicity distribution patterns of vaccine,” said Comstock.

“We know traditionally there are some racial and ethnic groups that are a little more hesitant to disclose their race on these documents and if that 11% disproportionately includes them we might be doing slightly better than these numbers show,” she added.

Still, even if that 11% consisted solely of minorities, there would still be a significant discrepancy between vaccination rates for white residents and Hispanic or Black residents.

Lack of trust presents challenge That continued discrepancy on vaccination rates is likely the product of public health systems that have consistently failed to connect with minority populations, said Paulina Erices, the manager of JCPH’s Whole Community Inclusion program, which was created last year to ensure that COVID-19 efforts were effectively responding to the needs of minority populations in Jeffco.

“It’s not just that we don’t do a

good job getting to them,” said Erices. “It’s that we don’t have relationships — authentic trusting relationships- that will support trust between these communities and the formal systems of care.”

The need to build those relationships is what led JCPH to create the Whole Community Inclusion program, which is staffed by five full-time employees as well as volunteers who work as navigators to connect minority residents with resources.

The program is currently undertaking several efforts to encourage and help more Jeffco minorities to get vaccines, including offering Spanish language navigation services for eligible residents trying to set up a vaccine appoitnment.

However, Erices said the county has also been involved in lobbying the state to coonsider how vaccine eligibility is determined so to ensure and increase equity. For example, Erices said the program has been advocating to expand eligibility for vaccines to unlicensed childcare providers, which she says SEE VACCINE, P9

CORRECTION In last week’s edition, the story concerning Jeffco Schools’ Capital Improvement Program (CIP), contained an error regarding work to be started and the funding for those projects.

According to Tim Reed, Executive

Director Facilities & Construction Management, the 131 projects in the program that are currently classified as ‘not started’ are funded from the bond.

“The total cost of work from ‘not

started’ to ‘complete’ totals (an estimated) $726,755,662,” Reed said.

This means the district, after approving funding for an additional four athletic fields at a recent BOE meeting, has just under $94 million in

unallocated funds remaining in the CIP at this time.

All-Electric Homes (and Buildings) Are Central to Mitigating Climate Change

As much as we Americans love our gas fireplaces, gas ranges and gas grills, we need to recognize that the move to an all-electric home, with the electricity being generated using minimal fossil fuels, is central to the goal of mitigating the effects of climate change.

And it can be a good future, especially if you’re able to generate all the electricity that your home and cars use.

That’s the future Rita and I have created for ourselves. We have 10 kW of solar panels on our Golden home, enough to heat and cool our home and charge our two electric cars. Our forced air furnace only burns gas when the outside temp dips below freezing. Otherwise, a heat pump provides all the heat we need. And recently we replaced our gas water heater with a hybrid water heater that heats all the water we need using its built-in heat pump. It has a standard electric heater coil in case we need faster recovery.

(We never have needed faster recovery.)

Yes, we still have a gas cooktop and gas fireplace, and our BBQ grill is plumbed with gas. I can picture us moving to an induction electric cooktop, electric fireplace and electric grill, but for now we comfort ourselves with the knowledge that we have drastically reduced our carbon footprint and our

monthly energy bills with the use of heat pumps for heating, cooling and water heating, as well as by driving EVs. A December article on axios. com reported that some progressive jurisdictions are now banning gas hookups in new residential and commercial construction.

According the article, 40 California municipalities, starting with Berkeley in 2019, have banned the installation of natural gas service in new construction.

The most common argument against this anti-natural gas trend relates to the cost of electric heating vs. gas heating, but the people who make that argument are probably thinking of conventional resistance heating, such as baseboard electric heating.

Resistance heating is similar to your kitchen toaster, sending electricity to a coil causing it to generate heat. There is a more efficient way to heat, however, which is to use a heat pump. A heat pump moves heat instead of generating heat, and the cost is as little at one quarter that of resistance heating for the same BTU (heat) output.

Moreover, a heat pump can provide both heating and cooling, merely by reversing the direction in which it moves heat, replacing both the gas furnace and electric air conditioning unit which most of us have in our homes.

I’ve been driving electric cars, buying little or no gasoline, since 2012, happy to be a freeloader when it comes to the cost of building and maintaining our state and federal roads and bridges.

But the adoption of electric cars is accelerating, as expected, to the point where we can’t continue to depend on gas and diesel taxes to pay for our transportation infrastructure.

Yes, I have paid a $50 registration fee each year for my EVs, but that doesn’t come close to paying my fair share of the costs, and it contributes nothing to

the federal highway trust fund.

In Colorado, there is a 23-cent-pergallon gas tax, plus an 18.4-cent federal gas tax. Rita and I drove our three EVs a total of 16,380 miles in 2020. If they had been fueled by gas and got 25 miles per gallon, we would have purchased 655 gallons, paying $271 in state and federal gas taxes.

Raising the gas tax makes no sense as fewer and fewer vehicles will be consuming gas in coming years.

As much as I’d like to keep being a freeloader in this regard, I am willing to pay 1.5 cents per mile traveled on my combined state and federal tax returns instead of paying $50 in annual registration fees per vehicle. This is referred to as a VMT (vehicle miles traveled) tax.

Critics of a VMT tax say people will lie about miles traveled, but our tax system is based on voluntary reporting, and mileage is easily audited now that cars, like Tesla, are connected to the internet.

‘Selling Agent’ vs. ‘Seller’s Agent’ Confuses People

Among the real estate terminology that confuses home buyers and sellers is the term “selling agent.”

The selling agent is, in fact, the agent representing the buyer in the purchase of a home, not to be confused (hopefully) with the seller’s agent, also referred to as the listing agent.

The reasoning behind calling a buyer’s agent the selling agent is that the buyer’s agent is the one who actually sells the home. The listing agent could, of course, sell his listing himself, but 90% of the time (actually closer to 95% of the time), the home is sold by another agent who shows the home to a buyer and then writes the contract to purchase it. In return for finding the buyer, the listing agent then shares his or her listing commission with the selling agent.

It’s called the “co-op” commission, because the selling agent is cooperating with the listing agent to sell the listing.

I like to compare our industry to the

automobile industry. Picture, for a moment, a sales person working for a Chevrolet dealership being able to bring a buyer to a Subaru dealership, get the keys to any of the cars on the lot, give multiple test drives and then get paid 40 to 50% of a Subaru sales person’s commission for selling one of that dealer’s cars. That’s how real estate works.

The Multi-List System, or MLS, was created to facilitate such “cooperation and compensation” in the real estate industry. It benefits both buyer and seller as well as both real estate agents.

Miners Alley sees outpouring of generosity following break-in Money stolen, doors damaged by burglar

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Wednesday, Feb. 24, a breakin occurred at Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse that resulted in thousands of dollars in damage to the theater.

But by Monday, what had started as a week of anger and frustration had become one of gratitude and joy as donations poured in to help Miners Alley, which has spent the last twelve months dealing with the ramifications of the pandemic that left it closed to live performances.

“The end of the story is the story of the theater community and the community of Golden rallying around us and helping us out and being there for us,” said Miners Alley Playhouse owner Len Matheo. “And it turned out OK in that sense.”

Matheo said employees first noticed that a break-in had occurred at the theater on Feb. 26, after no staff had been the theater the previous day.

They checked the theater’s six surveillance tapes and found footage of a man attempting to gain access to the theater and eventually entering it at around 5:50 p.m on Feb. 24. The man carried a

flashlight as well as a bag he was putting stuff in, Matheo said.

“We just watched him on the video going around looking for stuff and taking cash boxes from the box office and breaking doors,” said Matheo. “He broke down a door behind the bar to see what was in there.”

Miners Alley has posted a photo of the man taken from the surveillance video, which shows his eyes though much of his face is covered by a mask. `The suspect is described as a white or light-complected male dressed in a hoodie and pants,” said Golden Police Sgt. Denise Mehnert. “It was hard to clarify colors of clothing and descriptions because of the grainy quality of the video.”

Matheo said the cost of the damage and money stolen will total “a few thousand dollars.”

“Honestly, I think we dodged a bullet because there was so much valuable equipment that he didn’t touch for some reason,” said Matheo. “He was just looking for cash I think.”

Miners Alley has since received the good news that the damage will be covered by the theater’s insurance provider. That leaves the theater to pay only its deductible, an amount which it has since received “more than enough” in donations to cover.

For Matheo, the level of generosity that has come in the wake of the break-in has led to a change in perspective about the man did it.

“Honestly, the theater community and the greater Golden community would have been there for this guy,” said Matheo. “That’s the message that I want to get across that this doesn’t have to happen and there are plenty of good people out there and good communities out there that will help people.”

Playing out amid a pandemic The break-in represented yet another challenge for a theater that has had to shift its programming online after being unable to hold live performances for a year.

Especially frustrating as of late, Matheo said, are what he calls “a really big inconsistency in how the rules for gatherings are enforced” that have essentially prevented his and other theaters from being able to resume live performances even as restaurants are operating at higher and higher capacities.

Jeffco is currently in Level Blue of the Colorado COVID-19 dial, which requires that speaking performers be a minimum of 25 feet away from an audience. That requirement makes it almost impossible to host a live show, even at a reduced capacity, in Miners Alley,

Easter basket funding needed

VIRTUAL SHOWS AT MINERS ALLEY Miners Alley continues to offer virtual entertainment while remaining closed to in-performances. Upcoming options include a St. Patrick’s Day special show with Irish band Banthom House and a Quarantine Cabaret with performer Heather Lacy on March 31. Tickets can be purchased at minersalley.com. which has only 130 seats.

“I find this inconsistency of rules really frustrating and it’s really stopping us from moving forward,” said Matheo.

Still, the news hasn’t been all bad as the theater continues to host online shows and even held outdoor camps for kids over the summer.

“The good news is that there is a lot of assistance out there and we are still paying our staff and we still have found a way to do that,” said Matheo. “But it’s going to run out and so at some point they’ve got to let the performing arts do their job and at least give consumers the opportunity to make a decision and say `I want to go or I don’t want to go’ just like they’ve done with restaurants.”

But while Miners Alley won’t host in-person shows until the 25foot rule goes away, Matheo said he is looking forward to the future of his theater.

“We’re here for the community if they need us and clearly the community has been here for us,” he said. “So we look forward to having 20,000 visitors a year and creating community in Golden with our theater.”

to put smiles on hundreds of kids’ faces and that’s what I love to do. It’s a win-win.”

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

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

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

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

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

STAFF REPORT

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

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

“I believe that a simple act of kindness can make a huge difference in a child’s day,” Olivett said. “The Easter Basket Drive is a perfect opportunity

COLD WATER IMMERSION TIPS Although Lorena Oblitas recommends that those looking to try cold water immersion attend her free Saturday classes, she also provided the following tips for those interested in getting started: – Go with a buddy – Go when the sun is up – Know your exit plan and beware of surroundings (including rocks and ice) and water current and depth – If the creek seems intimidating, start with cold showers (Oblitas recommends playing a song and trying to stay in the water until the song ends and says dancing and singing can help)

water immersion gatherings in Golden last year after first experimenting with immersing herself in the creek four years ago.

“I needed to find a way to do something about the sadness, stress, anxiety and fatigue my body was experiencing when moving to Colorado” said Oblitas of what first led her to take the plunge.

Oblitas and other adherents of cold water immersion point to research extolling its many benefits, which they say range from improved immune health and decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease to increasing the body’s production of a chemical that fights aging.

Although there is limited evidence to support some of the claims, an article on the health website Healthline said there is a more extensive body of research showing that cold water immersion has been linked to reduced symptoms of depression, decreased muscle soreness and, possibly, boosted immunity.

But while Oblitas’ crew said they were intrigued by the possible health benefits, they also said they simply like how cold-water immersion makes them feel.

“It’s not going to make you live forever,” said participant Eric Christensen. “But it can make you feel good.”

Oblitas now organizes two gatherings a week: one on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. that includes instruction from her and a second

Josh Christensen flexes after getting out of Clear Creek.

on Thursdays at 7:30 a.m. that does not include instruction.

On Saturdays, the group begins with breathing exercises led by Oblitas that are intended to conjure a focus on breathing that decreases tension, nervousness and fear. There is practicing of tensing and relaxing techniques that can also be used in the water and provide preparation for holding increased oxygen and heat in the body.

The group will then get in the water, which is when the screaming comes in.

Oblitas, the group’s leader, instructs the others. “So the more you are able to release tension from the body the more you are able to relax and it doesn’t feel as cold.”

Still, cold water immersion comes with some risk - which is one reason Oblitas said she wanted to create the Saturday sessions so that beginners could try immersion under her tutelage.

“The first encounter with water can be shocking because it activates the fight or flight response in the body,” she said. “This is where remembering to concentrate on breathing is key.”

But the group sessions also have another benefit: they provide a connection to the tribal human nature that often goes ignored.

“It’s a beautiful feeling to do this in a group setting,” she said. “There is a feeling of community.”

Although the group also has several loyal members, Oblitas said she hopes that it will grow and allow cold water immersion practice to spread to more people who can benefit from it.

“I love being a Latina woman that empowers and encourages people to take their health in their hands and ask for help when needed,” she said.

“I would like to invite more females and people of color and teach them that they can be powerful, calm and strong too and that they can keep accessing the benefits Mother Nature provides every single day.”

MOTELS FROM PAGE 1

Murtha said he rarely attends a meeting without being asked to fix the problem. In the council meeting, he said he hoped his department’s presentation would bring about direction and future action from city council to help his department get more control over the situation.

“On a daily basis, I’m looking at reports and seeing stolen vehicles from Denver, Aurora, all of the surrounding jurisdictions including Wheat Ridge, recovered in the parking lots of these hotels” he said. “We’ve got ongoing drug activity in the area, and sometimes in the hotels, thefts — and every manner of crime seems to be in and around that area.”

Murtha said in the same manner the council approached the massage license ordinance, they can do something effective around the problem hotels.

He stressed the need for the city to create a positive business atmosphere, not just for the motels, but for all of the city’s businesses. He called the motels the largest users of services in the city, and championed the creation of what he calls a “carrot and stick” licensing program.

Wheat Ridge motels could be looking at new licensing requirements PHOTO BY BOB WOOLEY to curb crime.

Licensing program In the proposed program, motels would need to be licensed and pay a fee to be able to operate, with ways of lowering the fee structure based on how well they comply with turning things around.

Reducing calls for service is one of the criteria for judging that turnaround.

Motel owners investing money back into their properties would also be something the city would look at under the proposed plan, along with properties promoting better security practices and possibly hiring private security to take some of the burden off law enforcement and creating a safer environment.

Wheat Ridge Police Division Chief, Jim Lorentz, gave a presentation outlining some of the numbers associated with policing the hotels. Lorentz said calls for service at the motels run the gamut with the most common being unwanted party calls, followed by disturbances, welfare checks and suspicious incidents.

He said each call takes the responding officer almost an hour to handle.

According to Lorentz’s presentation, the American Motel, Affordable Inn and Best Interstate are the three motels at the top of the list for most service calls, case reports and arrests. In fact, Lutheran Medical Center is the only business that

Wheat Ridge law enforcement responds to more than the American Motel. In 2019, some 7% of all arrests in Wheat Ridge were made at the American Motel.

Murtha said his department is looking for input to write an ordinance that would give the city better enforcement options and better standing if the need for more drastic action were to arise, “Potentially, one of the outcomes could be pulling a business license from people. That seems to get their attention,” he said.

“So, if you fail to be a good business partner with this community there might be some real consequences beyond just paying a fine.”

Wheat Ridge City Attorney, Gerald Dahl, agreed with Murtha, saying the city had the right to revoke a business license in certain circumstances, but it’s not the first step.

“We start with an ordinance system that creates some measures of behavior that if violated, give the city a better platform to exercise the license revocation system that it has,” he said.

Council member Val Nosler-Beck, wondered if the city should be doing more to help the businesses in question, to make them better motels, rather than seeing them close down,

but Murtha said after 15 years of dealing with these issues, it was probably time for the city to take decisive action.

Lorentz said the proposed licensing system is partially based on a similar ordinance recently enacted in Lakewood to deal with its own nuisance motels. In the Wheat Ridge version, Lorentz suggested there could be different ways of accomplishing the desired goal of cleaning the motels up, but at the heart of the program is charging licensing fees to lodging businesses and creating incentives in the form of lowering the fees when motels meet standard benchmarks put forward by the city.

For example, if a motel is able to reduce its rate of calls for service, the cost of their licensing fees could be reduced by an agreed upon percentage.

Council member Janeece Hoppe said bringing the motels in line would also create a healthier, safer and more positive place for people using the motels as long-term housing — something that is common.

As the topic wrapped up, council gave a unanimous show of hands for Lorentz and Dahl to begin working on a draft version of the ordinance to bring back at a later time, for further study.

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.

Many area businesses now in level blue under 5-Star rules V Change comes due to state meeting mark of getting vaccine shots to 70% of those aged 70 and up

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s arrival at the milestone of getting COVID-19 vaccine shots to 70% of people ages 70 and older opened the door for some businesses in Denver metro counties to open up to larger crowds.

Under the state’s COVID-19 dial system — the set of restrictions counties must follow based on local virus spread — several Denver metro counties remain in yellow, the third least-restrictive level.

The 5-Star State Certification Program allows businesses to operate with expanded capacity if they follow stepped-up COVID-19 safety protocols, letting businesses follow restrictions that are one level lower on the dial than they otherwise would be able to without certification.

Counties across the metro area had been granted the ability to let businesses become 5-Star certified, but the state on Feb. 5 said 5-Star businesses in yellow counties could only operate at level-blue restrictions “once 70% of 70-year-

olds” in the state are vaccinated with at least one dose, which was expected to happen by the end of February, according to a state public-health department news release.

On March 2, Gov. Jared Polis announced that Colorado has met the goal of vaccinating 70% of all Coloradans aged 70 and above, according to an Arapahoe County news release.

The state’s COVID-19 website on March 3 listed Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas, Elbert and Weld as among the counties in yellow where 5-Star businesses can now operate in level blue restrictions.

Some counties in other areas hadn’t yet been listed as able to have businesses running in blue as of that afternoon.

“Counties participating in the 5 Star Certification Program can choose whether they want their certified 5 Star businesses to operate in the blue level,” said a spokesperson from the Colorado State Joint Information Center,

because businesses with 5-Star certification may not operate in p the next-lowest level below blue i — level green, or “Protect Our w Neighbors” — unless the county is o formally in that level. Level green s is the least-restrictive level on the m dial.

It’s unclear whether virus trends t will allow more metro counties to t move to blue soon. Despite Broom- A field and Jefferson counties mov- v ing to blue, their one-week rates of t new cases as of March 1 appeared l to have ticked up to levels that threaten to move the counties backw h to level yellow. t i Loss of progress possible Although Denver metro counties o C sit close to qualifying for looser restrictions, trends in the state as “ c a whole may be on a risky track if Coloradans start to have more w in-person contacts and let their guard down on behaviors such as o p mask-wearing.

A key indicator to watch is the i “effective reproduction number,” s t sometimes written “Re,” a meam sure of how rapidly COVID-19 e infections are spreading. The reproduction number shows how a many people each infected person d will, on average, likely spread the w virus to. If the number sits below t w 1, infections are decreasing. i Colorado’s recent estimate is 0.95, reflecting the virus’ spread C in early February. That means the rate of new cases could soon start i w to increase again if the public t isn’t cautious.

Coloradans appeared to be hav- z r ing more in-person contacts in p early February compared to in e January, according to a Feb. 24 report by the Colorado School of r e Public Health. On top of that, if D the more-contagious COVID-19 variant from the United Kingdom E spreads rapidly in Colorado, the i s state could see another peak in hospital demand, the report says. a m As of late February, Colorado was not seeing rapid spread of k concerning variants, according to the state public-health depart- r s ment.

which takes questions for the state public-health department. “We have asked eligible counties to confirm if their businesses will operate in the blue level but have not heard back from everyone yet.”

In level blue, restaurants indoors are allowed up to 50% capacity or 175 people (or up to 225 using the state’s social distancing space calculator), whichever is fewer.

That’s up from 50% capacity or 50 people (or up to 150 using the calculator), whichever is fewer, in level yellow. Other businesses see capacity expand as well. See the calculator at covid19.colorado. gov/distancing-calculator.

See a full list of which restrictions apply to which levels on the dial by clicking “level restrictions” about halfway down the page at covid19.colorado.gov/data/ covid-19-dial-dashboard.

More counties close to Denver — including Jefferson, Park, Clear Creek and Broomfield — recently entered level blue, further loosening rules for restaurants and other businesses.

Uncertainty over 5-star relevance Under the “dial 2.0” changes to Colorado’s COVID-19 restrictions on Feb. 6, the state public-health department drastically eased the limits on incidence rates — rates of new cases — that allow counties to remain in certain levels of the dial. The arrival of the “dial 2.0” system had moved Denver metro counties down to level yellow from level orange.

The level a county qualifies for on the dial generally depends on the county’s rate of new cases, its percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive, and whether hospitalizations are increasing, stable or declining.

The dial restrictions apply to capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings.

The 5-Star program may soon be irrelevant in more metro counties if they’re able to entirely move to level blue — unless worsening virus trends cause a county to move back up to tighter levels. That’s

CORNER

Vaccination is Underway in Jeffco If you are a healthcare worker, first responder, adult age 65+ or staff member at a Pre-K-12 school or licensed childcare program, you are currently eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. It is important to know there is limited supply of the vaccine, and that even if you are eligible, you may have to wait to get an appointment.

Residents who are eligible can get vaccinated at many local healthcare provider locations, as well as several King Soopers and Safeway pharmacies. For a current listing of providers, visit the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment’s website at covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine.

You will need to register using an online system with the vaccine location of your choice. If you are not familiar with using an online registration system, ask for help from family members or friends.

Recreational pot in Lakewood: an update Voters gave it a November thumbs-up, but what has really changed?

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the last election, ballot question 2B asked voters if retail marijuana sales and cultivation should be legalized in Lakewood.

Previous attempts to pass similar laws had failed, but this time, the answer was a resounding yes. More than 66% of voters who cast a ballot wanted to legalize recreational pot.

The law went into effect January 1, allowing medical marijuana sellers already operating, and in good standing with the city, to apply for a license to sell or grow recreational marijuana as well.

There were only 10 businesses that met the criteria, which means only those 10 can apply.

In a recent Lakewood City Council meeting, Ben Goldstein, the city’s Deputy City Manager, gave an overview of where things stand now.

He said so far, four of the 10 medical marijuana shops have expressed interest through the application process, to sell recreational pot. It was unclear at the meeting when

those four applicants might be greenlit to start sales.

“The maximum number of businesses would be 10, so very different from Denver or Boulder where you have a huge number of businesses,” Goldstein said.

He said cultivation has always been allowed under the medical license, so there may not be significant changes in existing medical cultivation facilities, but it’s something the city is keeping an eye on.

“The ballot language also allows businesses to relocate, but relocation has to be done in accordance with state marijuana laws and city zoning rules,” Goldstein said. “So, the city will want to look at that as well.”

Goldstein said based on the existing tax code, the city estimates retail sales will generate somewhere around $1.5 million in average annual tax revenue that could enhance revenue potential would be discussed in a March 14, Budget and Audit Board meeting, and then perhaps, among city council.

As for the concern that retail marijuana sales might require an increased law enforcement presence in the city, Goldstein said based on what has happened with the prevalence of retail shops in neighboring jurisdictions, the city isn’t anticipating any increased need.

bout 60 cubic feet of water per second flowed down the South Platte River on March 5, just about average for this time of year — though that was after a rainstorm. For days prior, the river was at half its average flow or lower, testament to a dry autumn that turned into a dry winter and a dry spring so far.

But with the mercury in the

mid-60s, the Mary Carter Greenway was a pleasant place to be. Ducks alighted on the surface of the river, and songbirds chirped from the still-bare trees.

Roaming Buffalo BBQ still kicking despite pandemic Texas-born pitmaster writing new chapter on Colorado ‘cue’

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One decision, made by a single person, can affect many.

But perhaps nowhere is this statement more evident than in Golden, Colorado.

Because if Coy Webb, who hails from aptly named Plainview, a small, flat, West Texas town nestled about halfway between Amarillo and Lubbock, had followed his intended Landscape Architecture dreams and not been sidetracked by the siren’s song of restaurant work, there would be no Roaming Buffalo BBQ in Golden. No brisket cooked for hours, being kissed by the smoke of pecan and oak, no lamb shoulder, no cilantro lime coleslaw, no Cowboy beans infused with coffee and molasses.

While attending Texas Tech, Webb took a job cooking steaks, and shortly thereafter, headed to Scottsdale, Arizona, to study at the Cordon Bleu culinary school.

A series of cooking gigs, from mom-and-pop joints to five-star steakhouses, followed. Eventually, he landed in Breckenridge, where he met his wife, Rachael. She had grown up in Lakewood and was also in the restaurant scene, working

front-of-house and management jobs in the mountains.

The two married in 2014, and soon, set their sights on opening their own BBQ place. A crosscountry road trip to Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis and throughout Texas was a revelation. Not only did it help them refine their restaurant plan, but somewhere along the way, Rachael found out she was pregnant.

Within two weeks of their return, they found a space on South Downing Street that fit the bill.

“It was the right place at the right time,” Rachael Webb said. “A small burger joint — an old Crown Burgers Plus. We saw it on a Friday and got the keys on Monday.”

They ran it as a burger place for a couple of months while plotting their changes.

“We put some butcher paper on the windows and remodeled it ourselves, and re-opened a few months later as a barbecue restaurant,” Rachael said.

So, in that first year, Rachael said they started found a space, closed, remodeled, re-opened, had a baby, got some attention on Food Network, and by the way, her husband, Coy, came down with an unexpected illness that put him in the hospital for 25 days. “It was a lot,” she said.

Nearly five years later, with business booming, they decided to start a second location in Golden. The plan was to open January 2020, but life had other plans.

There were contractor issues and Rachael’s dad became seriously ill,

and of course, COVID-19 came to town.

“We weren’t able to have a grand opening because we had so much going on with my dad,” Rachael said.

“Unfortunately, he passed six weeks later. He did get to see the restaurant, though. He sat down and ate.”

Because of the timing of the opening, she said they didn’t qualify for federal money during the shutdowns. But their Downing Street SEE BUFFALO, P13

Commissioners nix proposal to build American Furniture Warehouse in South Jeffco Proposal to rezone 20-acre site unanimously denied

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 150,000-square-foot furniture store and warehouse will not be locating just west of the intersection of C-470 and Kipling Parkway after the Jeffco commissioners voted unanimously to deny an application to rezone the site of the proposed store.

Developer Land Securities Investors, LTD was proposing to rezone a 20.62-acre site between Kipling & 470 Self Storage and the Townplace Suites by Marriott hotel to build the store there.

The proposal called for the American Furniture Warehouse structure and its parking to take up the eastern 10 acres of the site with the retail portion of the store taking up roughly 120,000 square feet and the adjacent warehouse occupying 30,000 square feet.

The property, currently vacant land, is part of the Jefferson Corporate Center that is zoned for office and light industrial uses with retail uses not permitted.

But during a presentation to the commissioners on March 2, a representative of American Furniture Warehouse named Jeanne Shaffer argued that the warehouse nature of the business meant it would fit well in the center.

Shaffer also said that the lack of development on the site is an indication that there is no interest in locating office or light industrial uses at the site and that allowing it to be developed into the furniture store would allow the vacant land to generate tax revenue for the county.

“We feel the property is better suited for uses that would be classified as highway commercial or highway industrial, which would include the American Furniture Warehouse,” said Shaffer, who is a rezoning professional.

But that point of view was not shared by Jeffco’s planning and zoning staff, which recommended

“People brought us donuts, gave us extra tips, placed large orders to buy company lunches — just did so much to help keep us going,” she said. “Which really meant a lot because I love taking care of people.

That’s what drew me to the hospitality industry. So, it was amazing to have people take care of us. The community really rallied around us.”

that the commissioners deny the rezoning application because it did not meet most of the county’s five criteria for approving a rezoning.

Those criteria include the degree of conformance with applicable land uses, the ability to mitigate negative impacts on the surrounding area, and the availability of necessary infrastructure and services, all of which staff said the proposal did not meet.

Among the specific concerns voiced by county planner Alicia Halberg were that the proposed store involved more and larger signs than are recommended by the current zoning, and that could have visual impacts on property neighbors.

She also said the county’s reading of a traffic study provided by the applicant found that the proposal would cause congestion at two nearby intersections to worsen to unacceptable levels, while the applicant was not proposing any mitigation measures.

However, Halberg suggested that perhaps the biggest impact of the project would come via the loss of the potential for the site by someone who could use it to create more and higher paying jobs that would have a better overall impact on the county economy.

“There is a real opportunity cost to allowing retail uses in this area,” said Halberg. “Namely, not just is this 10-acre site no longer available for the target industries but that this type of use does not provide a synergy of uses that encourage more of the county’s target industries to locate here.”

The county’s planning commission had previously voted unanimously in favor of recommending denial of the application and both Commissioners Lesley Dahlkemper and Andy Kerr suggested that vote — combined with the proposals failure to meet rezoning criteria — made their decision a relatively straightforward one.

“It’s clear that the county board of commissioners really must weigh the five criteria and that’s all we are looking at as we are making the decision,” said Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper. “And this land use does not meet most of the criteria.”

Now, a year opening the Golden location, Rachael Webb says things are starting to come around.

They’re brewing a special Smoky Amber Ale to celebrate five years of making it in a competitive business, hoping the vaccines will keep them from having to shut down again and looking forward to really getting to know their new Golden neighbors.

“We want to be part of the community. With COVID-19, we haven’t had much chance to connect on a personal level because people just come in quickly to pick up,” she said.

“But the bottom line is we just like to share good food and hope people will see that.”

S

oon it will be time to change our clocks again. Why? It’s a semi-annual nuisance that is debated and argued about semiannually too.

Between times, it’s forgotten.

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

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

(Please do so on your own.)

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

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dixiecrat confusion The letter about Democrats filibustering the Civil Rights Act reminded me of 1959 when my dad moved us to Georgia, a bigger culture shock than the move to Japan. Someone thinking that Republicans opposed the Civil Rights Act is no surprise to me.

The southern Democrats were Dixiecrats, a whole different animal. Besides the example of Strom Thurmond becoming a Republican, Robert Byrd was a Klan recruiter.

Many young people wouldn’t know about the party switch after civil rights or about the Southern Manifesto opposing racial integration. It was signed by 99 Democrats and 2 Republicans.

changed, particularly in the fall.

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

Teens: Ask your moms and dads.

Wait: Teenagers don’t read me.

Now many timepieces change on their own.

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

Fall back and spring ahead.

We spring on Sunday, March 14.

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

I knew someone who always had a toothpick in his mouth and wondered why.

Dental care is important, of course, but it can be taken too far.

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

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

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

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

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

New freedoms and new responsibility

S

o this is what normal feels like. Sort of.

When you’re reading this column, it will likely be on the anniversary of HITTING the day the world shut down. I was HOME watching the Nuggets game last year on Wednesday, the 11thof March, and it was a weird game.

Shortly after that game started, the news broke that other N.B.A. Michael Alcorn games were suspended that night due to COVID; before the game was over, the news broke that the NBA was suspending the season.

The next day, I went to school and was informed that that would be the last week in person for some time, as school districts across the state shut down to prevent further spread of the — at that time — poorly understood novel coronavirus and its resultant disease.

This past week, my teaching partner and I were, for the first time all year, allowed to travel to two schools in a single day. I know — that doesn’t really sound like all that big a deal. But for the beginning of this school year, to foster contact tracing and to reduce the possibility of spreading the virus from one building to another, we have been limited in our physical travels. That means, for us, we have only been able to see our students live, in person, once every two weeks.

Have you ever tried to learn a brand new skill, which has both intellectual and physical components, but only got to practice once every two weeks? Imagine learning to play baseball, but only throwing the ball and taking batting practice every 14 days. It’s … not ideal.

But, now, we get to see our students every week. And still, that probably doesn’t sound like a lot, and it isn’t. But it’s SO much better than once a fortnight.

There was a day, last week, that we actually taught five sections of classes live! It was wonderful! You cannot duplicate the experience of students learning to make music with their peers over a Zoom meeting. We’ve been trying — it’s … not ideal.

And then, twice last week, I watched college basketball games on television and there were actual fans in the arena, cheering on their teams.

And then, on Saturday, to celebrate a trio of birthdays in the family, we … (looks around furtively) … (whispers) … went to a movie! It was awesome! We had family over to the house to eat dinner and catch up, and then we hauled up to an actual movie theater, bought actual movie house popcorn and sodas, and watched a movie in digital Dolby whatever.

And, just to add to the normalcy, the Colorado Rockies lost a Spring Training game 12-3 on Friday. Better get used to *that*, I guess.

There IS a way forward, people!

Rejoice! Celebrate! No, not like that, CU students.

And, honestly, we’ve probably known this for months. Don’t go out in public if you’re remotely symptomatic; limit close contact; wear masks in public spaces; and if you’re scared because you or someone you love is in the highrisk group, then make appropriate choices for you and your family.

And when you get a chance, make an informed, logical decision regarding the vaccine. If you do your homework, and come to an honest decision to forego the vaccine until we have more data, then I respect that. BUT… make appropriate choices.

It’s time. One year, almost to the day, and we have a path forward to getting our worlds back to normal. That path includes the pharmaceuticals working their magic; that path includes the government being a smart partner about delivery (I’m looking at you, California); and that path still includes each and every one of us continuing to make smart choices about our lives.

You want your freedom of movement back? So do I. Let’s re-learn the old adage that “there can be no freedom without responsibility.”

See you out in the world!

Bring St. Patrick’s Day home

ell, March Madness is once again upon us. I know that phrase is actually used for the NCAA basketball tournament, but I like to AVENUE use it to describe FLASHES the events I usually attend on St. Patrick’s Day. Over the years I have put together my own personal list of where things get really fun with loads of music and dance enterJohn Akal tainment, people singing along, traditional Irish food specials and real Irish beer, stout and whiskey flowing. I usually make a full day or two out of celebrating the occasion. I don’t even want to think about how many parades I have been to over the last six decades.

You know you are dedicated to wearing the green when you have a standing personal invitation from people on the parade committee to sit in reserved seats in the press box. You probably didn’t know that one of our Golden residents, Charlie O’Brien, was the first elected President of the Denver St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee.

say I can’t have them.”

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

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

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

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

I thought it was a flub, but it’s likely the director wanted Hayden to be inelegant to the end.

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

When Hayden made the film (1953)

But, as we mark the one year anniversary of things shutting down for the COVID pandemic, once again we are all going to have to think a little outside the box for safe ways to celebrate this year. Last year, almost all of the usual events were canceled and unfortunately that holds true for 2021 as well. I’m sure that several local establishments will be having some kind of low key acknowledgment with a few food or drink specials, but those huge events where they literally bring in bagpipe bands and troupes of Irish step dancers by the bus load are going to be on hold for another year.

That’s alright, St. Patrick was a …

Well, he was a saint. He’s probably a little bit glad to see some of the revelry done in his name put on a bit of a hold for another year.

So, this year I thought I would try and bring a little more traditional slant into my suggestions for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. My first idea was to look for some fun quotes from him. I went to my trusty source, Wiki-google-stuff, expecting to see some fun things like “ Christ on a bike, where did all these slitherin’ snakes come from?”. Unfortunately, the only quotes attributed to him are traditional Irish prayers and blessings that were probably not really you didn’t need tiny fingers or a toothpick to change the car clock.

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

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

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

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

Nuts.

Maybe by November?

quotes from him at all. He lived back in the fifth century, when accurate records weren’t exactly easy to come by and a lot of his story wasn’t written down until 200 years after he passed away.

Oh, well. St. Patrick’s Day has become more of a celebration of everything Irish rather then just being about the man himself, so let’s take a look at a few things you can do without having to go out on a pub pilgrimage.

First of all, you can actually cook a traditional Irish meal at home.

Yes, corned beef and cabbage or Irish stew are probably the first things that come to mind, and that’s a good place to start. But there are a lot of other culinary explorations you can embark on. Do a web search for things like Irish Leek and Potato Soup, Boxty, cottage pie and its cousin shepherd’s pie, a Dublin coddle, colcannon or Irish soda bread. Don’t forget the Ireland is an island, surrounded by the sea, so things like a classic fish pie or Ballycotten fish chowder might be something you would want to try. Of course, you don’t want to forget dessert, so give baking an Irish apple cake a shot or

maybe Irish Bread Pudding with a Whiskey Carmel Sauce.

Now, even if you aren’t much of a drinker, you might want to pick up some Irish stout or Irish whiskey, because a lot of great food recipes use those as an ingredient. Don’t worry, cooking with them makes the alcohol content evaporate.

Another more low key thing you could do is immerse yourself in a good book by an Irish author. Do a web search for that. I found a list of 25 of then right off the bat. Of course you can find plenty of Irish musical performances right on the Internet as well as reruns of all the shows like Riverdance and Celtic Women.

So, this year break out your favorite green clothes and hats, create a festive environment at home. As they say, “May the cat eat you and may the devil eat the cat!”. Sláinte!

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

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

J

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and coffee is the experience with the product you get to enjoy,” he said.

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

“People have gotten picky about

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

likened craft coffee-bean roasting to winemaking. The kind of grape, the elevation it is grown at and when it is harvested can change the taste of the wine just like the type of coffee bean, the elevation it’s grown at and when it is harvested.

t’s difficult to believe the COVID-19 pandemic has been the dominant feature of our lives for right around a full year. Few industries were stopped dead in their tracks the way the performing arts industry was halted, but at a time when these arts were needed most, artists and entertainers found all kinds of ways to perform and stay connected with audiences.

In recognition of a year of innovation (and with an eye to a brighter future on the horizon), this week’s column is a collection of activities from all over the metro area (and beyond), which spotlight the way performing has changed.

DMNS celebrate Girls & Science with annual event The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is partnering with CBS4 to host the seventh annual Girls & Science Event, held through March 20. This year’s event will be entirely virtual and will feature Virtual Clubhouses, Clubhouse Chats, Stories with Scientists and more.

The event is open to all ages, but activities are oriented to children ages 8 to 18, according to provided information.

A particular highlight is the Stories with Scientists events, which are TED-talk style presentations from mentors followed by live chat via IGTV. There will also be more handson events including specimen sorting that

grown at one elevation can be so vastly different than another (elevation) because of Mother Nature,” he said.

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

“If somebody doesn’t like one coffee,” Kurgan said, “then variety is the key.

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

Tracking the trends Coffee, like beer, is constantly evolving, and these

craft roasters are always looking for something new to keep coffee drinkers happy.

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

“I do think that’s going to be something that will stick around,” Sprenger said.

“People have learned to brew coffee at home, which means more whole-bean sales.”

Harmon added that the pandemic has made singlebrew cups become even more important.

“Now with the singleserve pod, people can control exactly what they want to taste versus a bag of coffee,” Harmon said. “Once I sell you a bag of coffee, I lose control of the end

result. With a single-serve pod, there’s more control.”

In addition, Kurgan explained that technology has improved, so roasters can keep data on the roasting process and the coffeebean mixtures that make up the blends — ensuring consistency in the roasting process.

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

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

He compared it to cooking a steak well done rather than medium-rare. People usually add sauces to make a well-done steak taste better.

Seth Davies, Sweet Bloom’s head roaster, roasts coffee beans.

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

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

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

In fact, Sprenger says his biggest fear about COVID-19 is the possibility of losing

his sense of taste, which is vital in the profession.

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

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

Scorched earth around Fox Hollow Golf Course in Lakewood.

Fox Hollow fire aftermath Agencies from far and wide rallied to gain control

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Fox Hollow grass fire that broke out on the afternoon of Sunday, Feb. 7 was no small affair.

According to Kit Newland, Lakewood’s Community Resource Director, the fire scorched 535 acres.

“This was truly an all-hands-ondeck situation,” she said. “Staff from many agencies responded with urgency to get the fire under control and to keep people and structures as safe as possible.”

No people were injured, and no

structures were destroyed. Damages have yet to be determined by insurance providers and risk staff.

Scott Rogers, Deputy Chief, West Metro Fire, said the fire was definitely caused by humans, although they don’t know if it was accidental, or intentionally started.

Rogers said in total, 13 fire departments pitched in, using 59 pieces of apparatus to fight the fast-moving blaze.

West Metro also received help from the US Forest Service, Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control, Jeffcom Communications, Jeffco Emergency Management, State Patrol, Jeffco Sheriff, Morrison PD, CDOT, US Forest Service and Lakewood PD in combatting the fire.

College leaders urge state to restore funding Tuition at Colorado’s public universities is among nation’s highest

previous levels.

In four years from the onset of the 2001 recession, Colorado slashed higher education funding by 23.1%, or about $158.6 million. The state followed the same pattern during the Great Recession, cutting about $135 million from higher education from 2008-2012.

After both crises, schools across the state substantially raised tuition.

The cuts helped Colorado sink toward the bottom of state rankings in higher education investment.

“Higher ed, whenever there are competing demands, tends to bear the brunt of the cuts,” Garcia said.

Colleges face an additional financial threat. Enrollment across the state dipped during the pandemic.

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT.ORG

Fearful of extensive layoffs and potentially deep cuts to student services, leaders of Colorado’s public colleges and universities are pressing lawmakers to restore $493 million the state chopped off their budgets last year.

The academic leaders are campaigning as if the health, and perhaps existence, of their campuses are at stake. And with good reason: When Colorado slashed their budgets during two past recessions, the colleges never fully recovered.

Metropolitan State University of Denver President Janine Davidson said college presidents are presenting a united front on the restoration of funding because “at some point you have to say this isn’t working.”

And Adams State University President Cheryl Lovell said colleges did their part in balancing budgets last year and a return to the 2019-20 funding level would be a positive step for colleges and their students.

“We’re unified in that message,” Lovell said.

Gov. Jared Polis and House and Senate leaders have said they value returning the 58% cut that the state inflicted last year to help balance

a budget as the pandemic ate into revenues and raised expenses.

Some lawmakers have stalled, saying they want to wait for budget forecasts. Others hesitated because Congress is sending states more aid. The December stimulus package will send millions of dollars to many Colorado colleges and universities to help with the coronavirus impacts and to aid students. The next stimulus bill could send millions more to Colorado schools.

But that federal largesse can’t be used for colleges’ operating expenses; it must respond only to the pandemic.

For years, lawmakers have dipped into higher education funding to spare other state priorities, said Joe Garcia, Colorado Community College System chancellor. That happened during both the 2001 and 2009 recessions. Lawmakers added back some funding, but higher education budgets never returned to their

Students bring in money Every student brings in dollars, through tuition and also state funding based on enrollment. Significant drops can decimate an operating budget. If enrollment doesn’t bounce back (as some predict) and/ or if the state doesn’t substantially restore funding, campuses face major cuts.

That could mean fewer instructors, counselors, and career guidance services. It could also mean higher tuition, even though Colorado already charges some of the highest tuition in the nation for public schools.

Raising tuition would burden SEE COLLEGE, P26

Created in partnership with Alt Ethos, a Denver-based experiential design studio, the event will feature a variety of folktales - from Rumpelstiltskin to Anansi the Spider - told using light and sound, according to provided information.

Attendees can use their car radios to hear a broadcast of the stories, which will be augmented by the visual elements. At the events, attendees will receive special materials and instructions to participate from their vehicles, and costumes are encouraged.

Both events are free and open to the public, but advance registration is required at www. anythinklibraries.org/events.

Participants should register once per vehicle.

A revolutionary tea party at the Molly Brown House Few things are quite as enjoyable as a discussion with close friends about things that you all believe passionately about. The latest exhibit at the Molly Brown House Museum, 1340 Pennsylvania St. in Denver, taps into that same energy with Enter the Conversation: Art of Women’s Rights by Melody Epperson.

The exhibit — which runs through March 14 — celebrates the history of women gathering in clubs and tea parties to strategize in their fight to win the right to vote. Epperson has brought to life an imaginary tea party that features 16 suffragists like Alice Paul, Sojourner Truth, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and features appearances from modern leaders like Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

The exhibit is available to all guests as part of their entry ticket to the museum. Advance ticket purchase is required, as are masks. Call 303-832-4092 ext. 16 or visit www.mollybrown.org for information.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Pink Siifu and Fly Anakin from New York City Rap is too sprawling and regionally diverse a genre to

have a particular sub-genre encapsulated by a single album.

But “FlySiifu’s,” the late-2020 album from Alabama’s Pink Siifu and Virginia’s Fly Anakin, does provide a window into a thriving underground scene that builds audiences slowly on services like Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Those who do sample it will find one of the year’s best rap releases — at times playful and searching. Music that sounds great outdoors but lyrics that can live in your head.

The pair are releasing a new EP of material on Friday, March 19, and at 7 p.m. that same day they’ll host a livestream performance from Corpus Studios in New York City. The duo will be joined by other underground favorites like Mavi, Anklejohn and Remy Banks.

For some fantastic music and a look at great up-and-coming talent, head to https://ronee.bandcamp. com/community.

Streaming style - ‘It’s A Sin’ Most Americans will most likely be familiar with Russel T Davies because of his leadership in bringing Doctor Who back to television screens in 2005. But he’s responsible for some of the best British television of this young century and “It’s A Sin,” his most recent effort, might be his best work to date.

The five-episode show is set in the Britain of the 1980s and follows a group of gay friends who all move to London and face the loss and fear of the AIDS pandemic.

Based on Davies’ own memories, it’s an emotional whopper of a show without hitting audiences over the head with the losses the community experienced. Davies and his top-shelf cast (including Olly Alexander and Lydia West) make sure to capture the fun and freedom that so many finally achieved, and then had taken from them.

We’re only a few months into 2021, but this is one of the best things you’ll see all year. Watch it on HBO Max. Clarke Reader’s column on culture apears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail. com.

Selling the land swap Martin Marietta speaks with community about plans to expand mining area

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Our operation at the quarry will not change as a result of this exchange and the same things that govern those operations will continue to govern those operations.”

That was one of the messages Martin Marietta West Division President Abbott Lawrence had for the Jeffco residents who participated in the March 1 virtual community meeting about a proposal to rezone a 64.02 acre section of Matthews/ Winters Park it is seeking to expand its aggregates mine into.

Abbott defined aggregates as “all the various sizes of rocks and sand used to make concrete asphalt as well as other products that range from base materials for building roads, large boulders for constructing dams and reservoirs.”

That aggregates mine, located on 283 acres off of US 40 near its intersection with I-70, opened in 1965.

Martin Marietta needs to secure permission to rezone that property for mining to complete a proposed exchange that involve giving Jeffco Open Space 130 acres of property,

including the site of the former Heritage Square amusement park, in exchange for the right to mine the 64.02 acres.

Under the proposal, all of the land mined would be returned to Jefferson County once it has been mined and reclaimed with the county using it to create a large reservoir.

While that exchange has been on the table for months, the virtual community meeting presented one of the first times representatives from Martin Marietta have gone in front of the public to answer questions about the plan and what it will mean for those who live nearby.

“What’s going to happen here is Jeffco Open Space is going to receive four pieces of land that are valuable to Jefferson County and the open effort along with a trail easement and some cash overtime,” said Lawrence. “And Martin Marietta receives one piece of land that is not accessible to the public and to which Martin Marietta is uniquely able to ascribe value because of our desire to expand the spec-ag quarry.”

Noise, views among resident concerns But while the proposal has been touted by both Jeffco Open Space and Martin Marietta as a win-win, residents still had questions about potential issues ranging from what impact the expansion of the mine would have on noise and views in the area to how long mining of the new parcel would take.

In answering those questions, Lawrence and two other Martin Marietta repeatedly returned to the theme that their company would utilize the same practices that it already utilizes at the existing mine and that the operations impacts on the community would not change.

Central to those practices, said, is Martin Marietta’s employment of a “mine from behind” technique

that involves both trying to mine in such a way that it is kept out of the site of people outside the mine and reclaiming each portion of a mountainside that has been mined as soon as that mining is completed.

However, Lawrence acknowledged that mining from behind is not always possible and that there would be certain locations along I-70 from which mining operations might sometimes be visible.

“There are certainly angles from which you will be able to gain a perspective and see if there is nothing to block it,” said Lawrence.

“But what we do know is we plan on mining to take as much advantage as possible of those natural barriers between the public and the mine.”

On the topic of blasting, Martin Marietta West Division Vice President David Hagerman said that mining is necessary to break rocks into smaller pieces, it is tightlyregulated.

“It’s nothing like you would imagine in the Old West movies,” he said.

“It’s a very sophisticated process.”

According to Hagerman, the quarry seismographs and sound monitors that are used to record vibration and sound pressure 24/7.

“Quite frankly they are often triggered more by the wind than they are by blasting activity,” he said.

COLLEGE FROM PAGE 22

students and families already pummeled by the pandemic and the recession.

Colorado Department of Higher Education Executive Director Angie Paccione urges colleges to find ways to cut budgets without increasing tuition. She thinks they’ll survive the downturn, and doesn’t oppose campuses asking lawmakers for more money — because schools lack adequate funding.

But she said schools have a responsibility to raise graduation rates that lag for students of color and those from low-income families compared with general rates. And some schools, like the University of Colorado-Boulder, for years have failed to boost enrollment of low-income students.

While regional colleges educate more low-income students, those campuses graduate those students at a lower rate than do the state’s flagship universities.

“You can’t just ask for money and not provide the outcomes,” Paccione said.

Regional colleges are less able to cope with state budget cuts, because they have fewer outside resources and because their students have more difficulty absorbing higher tuition.

In Colorado, regional and community colleges receive a larger share of their operating budgets from the state and tuition than do

March 11, 2021 higher percentage than do more state-dependent colleges.

And regional schools have struggled to improve graduation rates.

Orphan said regional colleges have difficulty supporting and graduating students, especially those from low-income families, due to the diminished state budgets. She said too many people have become “comfortable with broken promises for Coloradans.”

“Students want to advance themselves,” she said. “They want a better life for themselves and their families, and they’re accessing institutions that are doing everything they can but are having to work with resources that are just so extremely constrained.”

Davidson, of MSU Denver, said she believes restoring funding should be viewed as a moral imperative: Decreased funding will disproportionately lock out lowincome students from opportunities and hurt the state’s economic future.

“College genuinely is the elevator to social mobility in this country. It really is what has made America competitive and strong,” Davidson said. “If we don’t live up to that promise we will have repercussions that will go well beyond `I can’t send my kids to school.’”

flagship schools. The University of Colorado-Boulder and Colorado State University both get significant federal funding for research.

The University of Northern Colorado, a regional college, anticipates raising tuition by as much as 7%, depending on state funding. The University of Colorado system announced possible tuition increases of 3%.

Community colleges face tough call Garcia said community colleges might raise tuition, but that could impose hardships on students.

“The more we raise tuition, the less money students have available to cover their other mandatory living expenses like housing, transportation and food,” Garcia said, “things that they absolutely need to spend money on.”

A recent study by the Alliance for Research on Regional Colleges found the pandemic has cut into budgets at more than 100 rural public colleges it examined.

Those colleges are preparing to reduce worker hours, furlough employees, freeze vacant positions, and lay off workers.

Cecilia Orphan, a University of Denver higher education professor and co-author of the study, said better-funded schools can help more students graduate.

For instance, even though they enroll a smaller proportion of students of color and from low-income families, flagship campuses with more resources graduate those students at a

Sound is also mitigated through the use by various mechanisms, including a rubber cover that is placed around the mines’ main crusher to mitigate sound, Lawrence said.

As for the ultimate duration of mining activities, Lawrence said an exact answer is difficult to provide because it would depend on demand for aggregates and the exact mining makeup of the land discovered once mining starts.

However, he said Martin Marietta’s best estimate is that it will take two to three decades to fully mine out the site.

The community meeting is the first step in the formal rezoning process, which will ultimately involve a view of the proposal by the Jeffco Planning Commission and county commissioners with the latter group making the final decision.

While members of the public were asked to focus on asking questions rather than making comments, one commenter expressed a desire for there to be another community meeting where opponents could present their opposition.

Jeffco Planner Justin Montgomery responded that citizens would have the opportunity to formally express opposition at the planning commission and commissioner’s meetings where the rezone is formally considered. However, he also suggested that residents wanting to make comments in the form of emails that can be sent to pzweb@co.jefferson. co.us.

“Written correspondence is best because then we can provide that to our decision-makers in the case packets,” Montgomery said.

Columbine girls hoops finishes strong with win over No. 13 Chatfield

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — It’s not how you start the season, it’s how you finish.

Columbine girls basketball team had a tough start to the season missing the first week of the regular season due to a COVID quarantine.

The Rebels held a 4-4 record after back-to-back Class 5A Jeffco League losses to Valor Christian and Chatfield two weeks ago.

However, the Rebels (8-4 record) grabbed its fourth straight victory March 5 with a come-from-behind 44-36 road victory in the rematch against rival Chatfield, ranked No. 12 in the final CHSAANow.com 5A girls basketball rankings.

“You never know what you are going to get walking in here,” Columbine coach Greg Bolding Jr. said.

“They (Chatfield) is missing two of their big players and I think mentality we weren’t ready for that.”

The Chargers (11-3) were without leading scorer Grace Talbot and fellow junior Peyton Shepard in the regular-season finale for both squads. However, Chatfield held a 20-10 lead when senior Madison Shepard buried a 3-pointer midway through the second quarter.

Shepard and junior Millie Hubbell combined for 18 points in the first half to pace the Chargers, but the Rebels went on a 9-0 run to close out the final 3 minutes of the first half to cut Chatfield’s lead to 23-22 at

halftime.

“It was just desire,” Bolding said of the Rebels turning things around after falling behind 20-10. “Our base is our defense. We had to be more disciplined on the defensive side. We had some young kids come in and change the tempo a little.”

Junior Jessica Bollwahn was the huge difference maker for Columbine. The junior forward scored a season-high 19 points to bolt the Rebels past the Chargers.

Bollwahn’s biggest basket came with 5:29 left in the fourth quarter.

The junior spun the ball off the backboard for a layup from a tough angle and was fouled. She completed the 3-point play to give the Rebels their largest lead of the game at 40-27.

“Honestly, when it went in I was like, ‘Thank god.’ We really needed that,” Bollwahn said of the 3-point play. “We have really been focusing on finishing our shots.”

Bollwahn had one more strong basket inside the paint before senior Adrienne Harnum had a steal and layup to seal the victory for the Rebels.

“I’ve been on her about the finish mindset,” Bolding said of Bollwahn.

“It took the air of out Chatfield I thought when that went in. She leads us on and off the court.”

Shepard finished with a gamehigh 13 points for Chatfield. Hubbell SEE COLUMBINE, P28

Columbine junior Jessica Bollwahn (12) scored a game-high 19 points for the Rebels in their 44-36 victory over No. 13 Chatfield on March 5. The Rebels entered the Class 5A state tournament this week on a 4-game winning streak. PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

No. 5 Ralston Valley girls hoops wins 9th straight on Senior Night

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Ralston Valley senior Sydney Bevington (33) drives past Lakewood senior Mariah Ramos (22) on March 2 at Ralston Valley High School.

Bevington scored a game-high 20 points during the Mustangs’ PHOTO BY DENNIS PLEUSS/JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS Senior Night in a 57-36 win.

ARVADA — Ralston Valley senior Bailey Wall ended Senior Night appropriately for the Mustangs on March 2.

Wall came off the bench in the final minutes and sunk a 3-pointer just before the buzzer for the No. 5-ranked Mustangs to give Ralston Valley a 57-36 victory over Lakewood.

“She (Wall) has been with us for four years,” Bevington said of her fellow senior.

“For her to hit that was big for her. We will all share that moment. I’m glad it happened. It was awesome.”

What Ralston Valley (12-2 record) has done over the past month might not be defined as “awesome”, but the Mustangs have been pretty darn good riding a 10-game winning streak since losing to No. 2 Valor Christian back on Feb. 3.

The Mustangs cruised through the rest of Class 5A Jeffco League play with double-digit victories to finish runner-up to Valor in the conference. However, Ralston Valley had to hang on late against Mountain

Vista a week ago before getting wins over Lewis-Palmer, Lakewood and Denver East.

“We haven’t played great the last couple of games.

We’ve played some really good quarters,” Ralston Valley coach Jeff Gomer said after the win against Lakewood. “We just haven’t put four together. Sometimes we just lose focus. We get a lead and then we take it out of gear.”

Ralston Valley got out of the gates quick with a 16-3 lead after the first quarter Tuesday. The Mustangs held a 31-12 lead at halftime, but Lakewood (6-7) battled back outscoring Ralston Valley 18-13 in the third quarter.

Lakewood juniors Logan Watson (12 points) and Briana Robles (9 points), along with senior Mariah Ramos (9 points) led the charge for the Tigers.

“We just watched them go to the basket the whole third quarter,” Gomer said of the Tigers’ 18-point quarter that allowed Lakewood to cut into Ralston Valley’s lead.

Ralston Valley was a bit frustrated not being able to put Lakewood away in the

third quarter.

“We slipped up really bad in the third quarter.

We wanted to come out after halftime and stomp on them, but we didn’t do that,” Bevington said. “We definitely need to work on that. We need to treat these games like we are playing a top team in the state.”

The Mustangs did get things going in the fourth quarter. Seymour, who finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds, poured in the first six points of the final quarter to extend Ralston Valley’s lead.

“We just got a little lazy with our defense and rebounding in the third,” Seymour said. “The fourth quarter we needed to get going. We sped it up a little bit and made our shots. We did what we needed to do.”

Bevington had a gamehigh 20 points and junior Saya Sabus had 10 points.

Wall, along with freshmen Sophia Sabus and Hannah Somorin each contributed a 3-pointer for the Mustangs.

Senior McKenna Nichols went 3-for-4 from the freethrow line on Senior Night.

The Chargers and Rebels now await the state brackets, which were scheduled to be released by CHSAA on Monday, March 8, after press deadline “Of course you are hoping for a home game no matter what,” Bolding said of the playoff seeding.

“We have no control over that. I’ve been preaching to these kids to play defense. We can control that.”

RALSTON FROM PAGE 27

It was the final regular-season game for the Tigers. Lakewood finished 25th in RPI rankings, so Lakewood just made the 32-team 5A state tournament field.

Ralston Valley has one final nonleague game against Denver East on March 4. The Mustangs took a

The state bracket was trimmed down to a 32-team tournament in 5A this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and shortened season.

The state tournament is normally a 48-team bracket with the top 16 seeds getting first-round byes. There will be no first-round byes this season. All teams will have first-round games Tuesday, March 9. Secondround games will be played Thursday, March 11.

“Beating Chatfield on their home court is a big goal for us,” Bollwahn said. “This good mentality and adrenaline will help us going into playoffs.”

We need to put it all together.”
