CoorsTek project gets nod for approval Despite a few bumps, both applicant and city cite community input as key to success

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After four continuances and seven drafts, an enormous plan to redevelop the 12-acre CoorsTek superblock near 10th Street and Ford Avenue

has finally gained approval from the city planning commission.

While the April 28 meeting was long, commissioners crossed the finish line with a six to one vote to recommend approval to rezone the industrial area from C-1, C-2, and

M-2 to a PUD for mixed-use redevelopment.

Also, CoorsTek’s request to vacate the alley between Ford and Jackson Streets was approved unanimously.

Next stop for the CoorsTek team: Golden City Council.

While the somewhat lengthy process seemed to frustrate some, AC Development President and CoorsTek project representative Dan Cohen said the company is grateful

Can we taco-bout margaritas?

Tips for enjoying America’s favorite cocktail of questionable origin

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There’s something soulful about good food, good friends — and good margaritas.

And Cinco de Mayo, which marks Mexico’s 1862 triumph over the French, is the perfect time to pause and raise a hefty salt-rimmed glass to the world’s favorite export from down south.

But where did this not-so-distant cousin of the Moscow Mule get its start?

While the exact origin of this refreshing boozy beverage is still a bit fuzzy, a quick scour of the internet brings up a multitude of possibilities.

One that floats to the top is Tijuana bartender Carlos “Danny” Hererra, who is said to have created the cocktail in 1938 for a customer who was allergic to many spirits, but not tequila.

Another version of that story says SEE MARGARITAS, P4

Golden Mine blasting plan raises fossil concerns

With more than 25 years in the restaurant business, Isabel Cañas has made a few margaritas. A closely guarded secret, known only to her and a few staff members, she says PHOTO BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY her secret is fresh ingredients—and a little apple juice.

A local environmental group has always suspected there’s been more to the Dakota Hogback than just clay — and they might be right.

There could be prehistoric turtle tracks and other paleontological artifacts.

The Denver Brick Company, which applied last year to expand operations at its Golden Mine, has now come under a spotlight for its plan to conduct blasting operations along the Dakota Hogback, just north of the City of Golden.

And that has the attention of more than just locals.

It has the attention of state archeologists.

numerous community benefits — would be incremental and phased in over a 15-20 year timeframe. We are really pleased that the continuation was granted, because it gave us more time to explain all the ways that the project would exceed current city code in more than a dozen categories, including sustainability, energy efficiency, the creation of new open space, the provision of workforce housing, and a new arts district.”

During the four-hour meeting, commissioners and the applicant revisited traffic and parking concerns associated with the development, delivery of affordable housing, open space and vesting.

Although commissioners agreed the applicant’s request for 20-year property vesting should be reduced to 10 years, Commissioner Tyler Scraple offered one out-of-the-box suggestion that could go forth to the city council as a recommendation.

Scraple suggested the vesting period be increased should CoorsTek consider advancing a portion of the workforce housing cash in lieu of performance money so the city could “get things going,” rather than waiting for delivery of such housing units as the project phases to be completed.

But that will be a discussion for later.

Golden Community and Economic Development Director Rick Muriby agrees that the journey has been long — and is not over yet.

The project must still be approved by city council.

“While there are still some differences between CoorsTek and the recommendations from the planning commission and staff, the developer has been a willing partner with the city in recognizing the importance of the community’s vision, and making important concessions to help us achieve our goals as a community,” Muriby said. “Staff will continue to work with CoorsTek leading up to the Council hearing process to see if we can work through some of these remaining differences.”

Both Muriby and Cohen credit local interest and involvement

According to the company, the idea is to take an aging, yet historical property and “knit it back into the community.”

with helping shape the project into something that is truly reflective of the community.

“There were a number of community engagement meetings held within the context of this rezoning process that were very well attended by Golden residents, grassroots organizations and the business community,” Muriby said. “The many thoughtful comments and questions from the community have also been critical in pushing all involved to make improvements

to the zoning requirements.”

“So far, we have held more than 90 meetings with community members over the past year, and a common thread throughout those discussions has been the importance of open space and sustainability,” Cohen added. “It’s really important to note how much this community feedback has helped shape the proposal we submitted to the city.

We recognize that some residents, even if they haven’t lived here as long as the Coors family, have

strong feelings about the pace of development across Colorado. That feedback has given us extra incentive to be thoughtful in our project design and commitments.”

Hoping to meld the past with the present — while preapring for the future — the CoorsTek project is not a run-of-the-mill redevelopment plan, by any means.

“This is a historic opportunity to transform a 12-acre site in the heart of the community from a former industrial use, which was largely walled off from our downtown neighborhoods, to a more vibrant and connected part of central Golden,” Muriby said.

“While there are concerns about traffic and parking that come with redevelopment of this scale, and a desire to push the applicant to help further our community goals, I think that, overall, most in the community also see this as an appropriate transformation of this site for the next generations of Goldenites.”

Muriby also credits efforts by City Principal Planner Lauren Simmons and City Attorney Lori Strand for “working tirelessly in the background” over the past year representing the city’s best interest during negotiations with the applicant.

“Their efforts have made this a much better proposal for the community to consider,” he said.

Cohen said the company is very pleased the planning commission has recommended their application for approval.

“This validates that we were successful at formulating a vision, infused with substantial input from the community, into a redevelopment proposal that is a dramatic improvement over existing zoning for the site and that will create numerous long-term benefits for Golden,” he said.

If approved by Golden City Council, Cohen said he anticipates portions of the site to be demolished later this year and the construction of the new CoorsTek headquarters to commence in early 2023.

“Construction of our initial phase of the project will also trigger delivery of the first in a series of tangible community benefits, such as historic preservation, workforce housing and public art,” he said.

was aware the company intended to expand its mining operation but not, until recently, to use blasting techniques to extract clay.

Rawluk said Protect the Hogback has exchanged correspondence with History Colorado regarding ancient fossils in the area of the Golden Mine and the possible risk presented to them by blasting.

He said a letter to the State Land Board from State Archaeologist Dr. Holly Kathryn Norton suggests interest in the scientific value of the area.

In the letter, Norton recommends special efforts such as casting and collection be accomplished should the company engage in any blasting or mining expansion activities that would create ground disturbances

within 50 feet of identified paleontological locations.

The exact locations of such sites are protected by law and not made public to prevent damage and looting.

Rawluk says he is hopeful the state will continue its efforts to prevent any undiscovered fossils and ancient artifacts from being disturbed or destroyed.

The Dakota Hogback is located just north of the city on Highway 93, across from the North Table Mountain recreation area.

In 2011, then-Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar designated the 19-acre Golden Fossil Areas west and north of Golden as a national natural landmark. As a result, the area is now known as the Morrison-Golden Fossil Areas National Natural Landmark.

“The Golden Fossil Areas are among the most important paleontological sites in the Front Range

and the western United States,” the statement said. “They are known internationally as the only sites in the world to have produced a number of unique fossil footprints representing reptiles, birds, and mammals.”

Protect the Hogback was granted a hearing with the State Land Board on March 31 but was notified a few days prior that the hearing would be delayed for the third time.

In a letter to the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety, Environmental Alternatives, Inc. requested the decision date for the mining permit be delayed from March 31 to May 31, 2022.

No reason was given in the letter.

If you’d like to learn more about Protect the Hogback and the proposed Golden Mine expansion, Rawluk said the Cannonball Creek Brewery is hosting a social event for the group, noon to 5 p.m. on May 14 at 393 Washington Ave. in Golden.

A local environmental group has always suspected there might be fossils along the Dakota Hogback north of the city of Golden. Now that a mining company has proposed blasting in the area, state archaeologists are digging into the PHOTO BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY case.

Are Investors Snapping Up Homes, Squeezing Out Other Buyers? Yes, But Not MLS Listings.

Media reports have created the impression that “Wall Street” interests are dominating the purchase of homes for sale, squeezing out individual buyers and causing the low inventory of homes for sale. That’s not exactly true.

What’s happening is that those purchases are happening through an off-MLS process, with very few on-MLS listings, based on my own observation and experience, being purchased by those large investors.

In fact, I can’t think of even one transaction that involved a large entity purchasing one of Golden Real Estate’s listings. And they certainly did not hire us to buy another brokerage’s listing. All our listings have been purchased either by owner-occupants or by small investors — homeowners themselves, who may have a portfolio of rentable homes or condos.

If you’re a homeowner, you’ve likely received, as Rita and I have, many solicitations to sell your home without putting it on the MLS — a bad idea if you want to get the highest price for your home.

Also, brokers like me regularly receive emails and texts asking whether I have a “pre-MLS” listing that they or their client could buy “as is” before it’s put on the MLS. My standard reply to such solicitations is that I would never encourage a seller to sell their home without putting it on the MLS, because that’s a sure way to get less than their home is worth. I consider it my responsibility as their agent to get the highest possible price by exposing their home to the maximum number of buyers. That is not achieved by selling a home to an investor without putting it on the MLS.

Media “experts” and others continue to treat the low active inventory on the MLS as the result of reduced number of homes being entered on the MLS, including by off-MLS sales. In fact, the number of new listings this April was higher than both prior Aprils, but the number of active listings keeps declining because those new listings sell quickly.

Yes, some of those off-MLS sales might have ended up on the MLS if they had not been solicited, but I think mostly they are homes which the owners had not intended to sell before they got “an offer they couldn’t refuse.”

In researching this topic I found a March 31, 2022, article from The Washington Post which highlighted this very problem of big investors buying up homes and converting them to rentals.

Using data from Redfin, it reported on major spikes in such purchases from 2020 to 2021. The Denver market had less such activity than most other major markets, but still the percentage rose from 8.4% in 2020 to 12.4% for 2021.

Above right is a chart from The Post’s article, based on the Redfin data. Each of those thin lines represents a different metro area. I inserted a carrot symbol as each end of the line for transactions in the Denver metro area. What’s remarkable is that all but two of the metro areas show a spike in investor purchases in 2021. Those metro areas that didsn’t show a spike are New York City and adjoining Nassau & Suffolk Counties.

It’s hard to ignore that the pandemic must have played a role in that abrupt rise in purchases by big investors, de-

Lakewood Duplex Listed by Jim Swanson This duplex with detached 2-car garage is located on a corner lot at 365-375 Carr $575,000 Street in Lakewood’s Foster subdivision. It has a single legal description, so it can only be sold as one. Pictures and a narrated video tour are at www.LakewoodDuplex.info. It’s in a quiet location near Belmar Park, shopping, etc. There are 2 one-bedroom units. The larger ranch unit is 1,127 square feet with one bedroom and a full bath. It also has a full basement that is great for extra storage. The cozy smaller one-bedroom unit is 600 square feet and is built above where the original one-car attached garage was.

Each unit has its own electric meter and laundry room. The lot measures approximately 1/3 acre. This property has been a solid long-term rental and has good bones, but could use some updating. The tenant in the smaller unit would like to stay. Call Jim Swanson at 303-929-2727 with questions or to arrange a private showing.

fined in The Post’s article as entities with 100 or more purchases.

The article confirmed that these transactions typically originated from letters or postcards sent to homeowners offering an off-MLS purchase of their homes “as is.” It also showed that majority nonWhite suburbs experienced most of this activity, giving the process a racial tinge which I didn’t expect to see.

Here’s an excerpt from that March article: “In Charlotte and elsewhere, according to The Post’s analysis, investors have purchased a disproportionate num-

ber of homes in neighborhoods where a majority of residents are Black. Last year, 30 percent of home sales in majority Black neighborhoods across the nation were to investors, compared with 12 percent in other ZIP codes.” The article didn’t claim that the letters and postcards targeted such communities, only that most sales occurred there.

That may explain why we haven’t seen this phenomenon in Jefferson County, where there are few, if any, ZIP codes in which non-Whites are in the majority.

Just Listed: One-of-a-Kind Wash Park Home There are too many features of this home at $1,897,000 801 S. Gilpin Street to list in this space, so be sure to visit www.WashParkHome.info for all the details. The architect designed it in the “Prairie Style” made famous by Frank Lloyd Wright with large roof overhangs, ribbon windows and glass brick. Built in 1994 with 2x6 exterior walls, it’s located in the heart of the Washington Park neighborhood and has at least two features Wright didn’t incorporate — Cat5 ethernet wiring and a 5-kW solar PV system which combines with the home’s passive solar design to make it highly energy efficient. The primary bedroom is on the main level with two guest bedrooms, one with wood flooring, and full bath on the second floor. The 1,000-sq.-ft. basement is 2/3 finished, with a large entertainment room and 4th bedroom plus full bath and lots of storage. On the main floor is an office with built-in desk, shelving and wall cabinets plus a private entrance, making this an ideal home for a professional or other work-at-home situation. It could be adapted for a motherin-law, au pair, or other use, too. There will be no open house, so call your agent or listing agent Chuck Brown at 303-885-7855 to arrange a private showing.

MARGARITAS

•

FROM PAGE 1

Hererra crafted the cocktail as a gift for his girlfriend, Margarita, who liked to put salt in her drinks.

Others say it was a Texas socialite who first served the beverage in 1948 at a house party in Mexico.

Some insist it was a clever marketing ploy by a particular tequila manufacturer to sell more product.

And the list of stories goes on.

But regardless of which tale you believe, the margarita has made its way into American culture and is here to stay.

One drink, many personalities Like most things that come to this country, the traditional margarita has endured the gamut of American experimentation.

From a simple, three-ingredient recipe served in a humble salt-gilded glass to those flavored fussy frozen concoctions with exotic names, this beverage is genuinely one that can be easily engineered to match a mood.

Isabel Cañas, also a favorite ‘import,’ according to customers who frequent her Las Palmas I restaurant, located on the east side of Golden, agrees.

She’s spent more than 25 years in the restaurant business as a manager and server and, along the way, has made thousands of margaritas.

Her house margarita is a perfect example.

While Cañas admits she respects tradition, she also says she likes to mess with it.

•

•

• Las Palmas Restaurant owner Isabel Cañas says nothing says Cinco de Mayo in Golden PHOTO BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY better than her street tacos and house margaritas.

She said she created her recipe in protest to everything she disliked about bad margaritas, a closely guarded secret known only to her staff.

“I make my own mix from learning from different places I’ve worked,” she said. “All the people that work here, they have to know the recipe — they have to follow my recipe.”

Follow your own recipe, indeed.

Some rules of engagement So this Cinco de Mayo, whether you’re a beginner or a pro, there’s

a lot more making and enjoying margaritas than just the story. While the key is always to enjoy yourself responsibly, here are a few suggestions curated from area barkeeps to put you in the know.

• Bottled lime juice. Don’t do it. Fresh limes are non-negotiable. Concentrated lime juice or anything else that comes off a grocery store shelf can be far too sweet. Although any fresh lime is better than something from a bottle or frozen can, mixologists insist key limes taste best.

• About that salt. It’s hard to deny. Salt is the ultimate margarita accessory. But like jewelry, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Pros say salt only a portion of the rim and only on the outside. Over-salted glasses yield a mouthful of salt.

• About the tequila. It’s all a matter of taste, right? A Blanco tequila is minimally aged and thus doesn’t have the darker, golden color of its Resposado cousin, aged in oak barrels.

Instead, bartenders prefer the Blanco tequila for its more zingy agave flavor.

• Agave nectar or orange liquor. Your choice may be fightin’ words. Some folks swear by the orange cognac-like liquor and its fruity, slightly bitter

notes. Others prefer agave for a sweeter stride across the palate.

On the fence about on the rocks? Caña insists frozen margaritas are fund, but they hide the flavor, and because of that, her frozen margs tend to get a little more tequila. A well-mixed margarita, on the rocks can be a delightful option—without the brain freeze.

Bond was right. Not stirred.

Local bartenders say a solid martini shaker and the right amount of ice properly mixes and chills the beverage and give it that signature, cloudy appearance.

Ice, ice baby. And while on the subject of ice, use fresh, clear ice cubes and not crushed ice.

Ice cubes that have been in the fridge too long can absorb other flavors and add a funky taste.

Crushed ice tends to melt and add extra water. No bueno.

Ditch the lime garnish. While it’s pretty, a slice of fresh lime is best reserved for the next round.

Golden City Council hears first reading of creek ordinance Outfitters push back on city fees for shuttle service and gross revenue

gross income of outfitters operating on the creek.

Batilla pushed back, stating that the fee on outfitters’ gross income was not appropriate.

“It should be and should be applied only to tube rental income.” she said. “If we sell t-shirts, just like the downtown businesses sell, it would not really be fair to put a fee on us and not them.”

The ordinance is expected for a second reading at the next city council meeting, scheduled for May 10.

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Golden City Council held the first reading of an ordinance that proposes to regulate certain commercial recreational activities — such as tube rental — on the Clear Creek corridor.

Since the draft ordinance was last presented, Acting City Manager Carly Lorentz said the city had sought input from several sources, including local outfitter groups.

The Parks, Recreation and Museums Advisory Board (PRAM) and the Mobility and Transportation Advisory Board (MTAB) presented some of their recommended measures for keeping people, tubes and bikes on course at a meeting of the Creek Subcommittee on April 20.

Along with designated bike parking along the creek, additional signage and off-trail stopping points to prevent corridor bottlenecks, the committee recommended the striping of trails to improve the flow, keeping slower tube traffic to the north and faster throughtraffic and bikes to the south.

Along with licensing outfitters that operate on the creek, the proposed measure suggests striping along the trails to segregate fast-moving traffic such as those on bikes from slower traffic such as those carrying tubes and paddleSHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE boards.

tures West River Tube and Bike Rentals, is still not on board with the city’s proposed fee for shuttle service.

Batilla and her husband Mitch have offered a shuttle to transport tubers to and from launch points to help thin the number of people on the trail.

“We’d like to advocate that maybe there not be a fee imposed on shuttle service,” she told councilmembers. “Y’all are excited, and in favor of shuttle service, I think, and we are doing this to help the city, as well as grow our business.”

Battilla also raised concerns with the proposed 30-day city no-

tice for special events.

“As a business, we have to open reservations ahead of time because we have groups, as well as individuals, planning their summers already,” Batilla said. “So as far as the special events, it (the proposed ordinance) lists that we might get 30 days advance notice, but unfortunately, that doesn’t work when you’re taking reservations now. We’re usually open seven days a week, so if there are special events, then we need to know now, so we don’t upset our customers.”

The proposed ordinance also seeks to collect a 5% fee on the

Rocky Mountain Archtop Festival set to return to Olde Town Arvada after 2-year layoff Blue Guitar exhibit to make first trip to Colorado after Smithsonian stay; event set for Sept. 9-11

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The world’s only festival focusing on archtop guitars is returning to Arvada after a two-year COVID-19-induced layoff, with the Rocky Mountain Archtop Festival set to come to Olde Town from Sept. 9-11. Tickets range from $30$150 and can be purchased online at archtopfestival.com.

The event is a showcase for archtop guitar-makers, also known as luthiers, and will include workshops, professional demos and live music. An archtop is a hollow or semi-hollow steel string acoustic or acoustic/electric guitar, which rose to prominence in the jazz scene in the early 20th century and remains popular among jazz, blues and folk players.

This year’s event will feature the Blue Guitar exhibit, a collection of 22 blue archtops which was previously displayed at the Smithsonian and a screening of the film

Guitar Camp to the festival for a four-day workshop open to all players.

The festival is organized by Arvada local Peter Henriksen, the president of Henriksen Amplifiers, which manufactures specialized guitar and bass amps. Henriksen said that the event started as a Facebook post asking if anyone wants to come to Colorado for an archtop-only guitar show.

“The response was so enthusiastic from people who build archtop guitars that I decided we needed to put on a real conference. Archtop builders themselves felt there was an outstanding need to have a show that focuses on the archtop guitar,” Henriksen said. “The first one was a huge success in 2019.

Everyone had such a good time we decided we’d do it every year, then 2020 happened. This is our second one; this will be an annual event.”

Henriksen explained that archtops differ from other guitars in how they’re built, and having a festival just for archtop luthiers provides an important forum to discuss the craft. The Rocky Mountain Archtop Festival is the only archtop-only guitar show, according to Henriksen.

“Building an archtop is a lot different than building other types of guitars. There’s more carving, the guitars are under a higher tension, it’s a more complicated type of guitar to build and to build properly. For archtop luthiers, it’s an important context because what they do is specifically more challenging and complicated than other types of guitars,” Henriksen said.

Benedetto Guitars, Maegen Wells Guitars and Mandolins, D’Ambrosio Guitars and Galloup Guitars are some of the luthiers

that will attend. Jimmy Bruno, Jim Nichols, Beth Marlis and Alicyn Yaffee are some of the professionals who will play shows and perform demos throughout the weekend.

Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor owner Kit Simon said that the acoustic instrument shop will host shows and workshops throughout the weekend and will provide a green room for musicians and luthiers to decompress.

Simon said that since many of the luthiers attending the event make highly specialized, high priced instruments, it’s important for perspective buyers to hear the guitars before making a purchase.

“Part of this is about guitar makers coming and showing off their guitars and getting to know customers. When you’re selling guitars for $10, $20, $30,000, it should be more about the sound.

This is a way for (customers) to meet the luthier as well as see the build quality and hear the guitars,” Simon said.

Olde Town Business Improvement District Director Joe Hengstler praised the event’s uniqueness and offerings for guitar aficionados and music lovers alike.

“The Archtop Festival is by far one of the most unique events across the entire Front Range, and we are fortunate that they continue to choose Olde Town as their locale. This festival affords the community a chance to see some world-renowned musicians in their backyard for free,” Hengstler said.

“Needless to say, we are thrilled to see the Archtop Fest return and hope to see this event continue to happen in Old Town for years to come,” Hengstler continued.

How state youths use free mental health service

BY DANA KNOWLES, BRIAN WILLIE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Anaisa Lua does her best to create a welcoming and safe space for her clients. A quote framed and hanging on her office wall sums it up: “Vulnerability is the courage to show up and be seen.”

“Therapy allows a space for people to feel accepted and understood. I feel that it’s a space for them to truly be their genuine selves. Sometimes they share about walking in the world and having to hide,” said Lua. Lua is a therapist working with I Matter Colorado, a program that provides funding for six free therapy sessions for all young people in Colorado under the age of 18 (under 21 for those receiving special education services).

17. The leading cause of death for people aged 10 to 24 in Colorado is suicide.

Aarav Varma is a 16-year-old sophomore in high school. He said the isolation he experienced during school lockdowns was almost unbearable, “COVID shaped me as a person and it tore me apart being online — it hurt so much I was feeling down every day.”

Varma found out about I Matter Colorado through school. “I had to use I Matter because I was feeling a little bit sad being online over the last year. It really took part of me away being on Zoom calls eight hours a day,” Varma said.

The program is the first of its kind in the country. Gov. Jared Polis signed a bipartisan bill this past July that provided $9 million to the Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health to facilitate I Matter.

So far 1,923 youth have utilized one session, 1,221 have had two sessions, and 753 have had three or more sessions. 141 therapists are available.

Lua said one of the best parts of the program is that the kids get to choose their own therapists, giving them a sense of

autonomy.

“They are able to log on themselves and they are able to read through the profiles of the clinicians and they decide who they feel connected to and who they want to see,” she explained.

For Varma, the I Matter sessions helped him feel less isolated.

“We do have a ray of hope, there’s a ray of light that we can see finally. We are not alone in this. I Matter is the true thing that can help kids feel like they are not alone. No one is ever alone,” he said.

Now that Varma is going to school in person, he can get back to exploring some of the things he loves like graphic design, chemistry and creating things.

He says he might go into the psychiatric field when he grows up to help other people with their mental health struggles.

Currently, a bill is making its way through the state legislature that would extend the program two extra years if it passes.

The money would go toward several existing grant programs

BY ANN SCHIMKE AND ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT

With just over a year until Colorado begins providing free preschool to 4-year-olds statewide, state lawmakers want to inject $100 million into efforts to beef up the early childhood workforce and create more slots for young children.

During a news conference Wednesday afternoon, a group of lawmakers announced the legislation, which would be funded with federal COVID relief dollars.

The money would go toward several existing grant programs, including one to help child care providers with operational costs and another to help new providers open and existing providers expand. It would also create a new program to support and train people who care for young

children but are not licensed by the state.

“This bill is a massive investment in ensuring we as a state rise to the occasion of helping families out, by allowing parents to work, by allowing single parents to return to the workforce,” said state Rep. Alex Valdez, a Denver Democrat who sponsored the bill. “COVID-19 gutted our child care workforce and we need to rebuild it.”

The just-introduced bill comes at both a tenuous and momentous time for Colorado’s early childhood industry. Many child care providers are still reeling financially from the pandemic and struggling to find employees willing to work long hours for low wages. At the same time, there’s a sense of excitement as Colorado plans a massive expansion of state-funded preschool with funding from proceeds of a nicotine tax approved by voters in 2020.

Colorado taxpayers will receive $400 this summer Here’s how some plan to spend it

BY ALISON BERG ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Menah Elsarrag can pay off a small portion of her student loans. Diane Hopkins can drive to Southern Colorado to visit her family and explore the outdoors. Anne Tincaid can put more money toward a vacation in Mexico, where she hopes to go snorkeling.

These are just a few of the ways Coloradans plan to use the $400 coming their way this summer.

Our hearts are filled with gratitude and joy to share this moment with you. Without people like you, this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you to our generous underwriters, donors, vendors, attendees and volunteers.

You did this for all of our kids! Today we celebrate you!

The money would have come to Colorado taxpayers in April 2023, but Garnett, Polis and Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno emphasized that the money is coming now because Coloradans are being hit by skyrocketing rent costs, difficulty buying homes, inflating childcare costs and higher gas and food prices.

“Instead of the government sitting on the money, we want to make sure we get it back to people now,” Polis said. “Rather than sit on this money, we know the $400 will help people now.”

While $400 would certainly help, many Coloradans interviewed Monday by Rocky Mountain PBS said the $400 may not go as far as it used to, as inflation has hit the entire country hard the last several months.

“It’s better than not having an extra $400, but it doesn’t go far enough,” said Thomas Law, a Denver resident and a service worker at Union Station.

“It’s not a lot in the grand scheme of things, as an adult in Denver.”

Law said his rent is about $1,600, which is a price he would have expected to pay in New York City, but did not feel it was warranted in Denver.

As a full-time restaurant server, Law said tips are his most reliable source of income, and with increasing costs of food, his restaurant has seen fewer visitors than it used to. Those who do patronize the restaurant often tip less than they once did, Law added.

“We heavily rely on people coming in and buying things and tipping, and with everything getting more expensive, people are coming less often and they’re tipping less often,” Law said. “It’s definitely an issue and I think something needs to change.”

Others said they would take the $400 as a small victory, even if it wouldn’t cover much.

“Being a teacher, we get summers off and I like to do some little trips, but I’m thinking it’s not going to happen this year because gas is so expensive,” said Diane Hopkins, a Thornton resident who works

with adults with disabilities. “I could probably go get myself some nice flowers, though.”

Though the money may not be much, Logan Gunnum, a Denver resident who is unsheltered and saddled with medical debt, said it would be a lifeline for him.

“The first thing I would do is make sure I had a steady place to live, and that way I could get the rest of my life sorted out,” Gunnum said. “They talk about how there are all of these different services and things for people in my position, but there really isn’t.”

Coloradans can expect the money to be sent to the address they used to fill out their taxes.

Bill aims to prevent runaways, improve mental health results Focus on foster care, residential centers

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado would have to create new standards for residential centers that house foster children as well as examine how best to prevent kids from running away from those centers under a new legislative proposal.

The bill follows high-profile scrutiny of the 24/7 residential centers, including a joint Colorado Sun/9News investigation that found that children and teens are running away daily and that two boys who ran away from different facilities were struck by cars and killed.

The legislation from Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, a Democrat from Commerce City, would require the state to partner with a university to build the new quality-assurance system. And it would require a public, online dashboard where parents and others could see whether centers are safe and are improving kids’ mental health.

In addition, the state would have to create a task force of experts, former foster youth and child welfare officials to examine why children run away and how to prevent them from fleeing residential care. The bill proposes to name the panel after Timmy Montoya-Kloepfel, who was 12 when he ran away from Tennyson Center for Children in Denver in June 2020 and died after he was hit by a Chevy Tahoe.

The legislation was crafted by a team of child advocates including Colorado Child Protection Ombudsman Stephanie Villafuerte, who has been seeking change at residential institutions since 2019, when she called for a public website similar to the state’s day care center website that would offer data on outcomes.

“Where is our sense of urgency for children who have severe

behavioral health issues that are in an isolated, 24-hour, seven-daya-week facility?” she said in an interview, after the legislation was introduced. “We have been alerted — between citizens calling our office and people responding to news media articles — and three years later, we still have not designed a system that would show us what’s going on in those facilities.

“I think it’s unconscionable.

I’m exhausted by systems that put adults’ needs, our bureaucracies, our budgets and everything before the needs of kids. And this is one of those issues.”

Villafuerte studied a new quality-assurance system for Florida youth residential centers, which that state created in partnership with Florida State University child welfare experts. The ombudsman said she already has consulted with social scientists at the University of Denver and Colorado State University.

The requirement that the state would partner with an institu-

tion of higher education means that the state child welfare division, within the Colorado Department of Human Services, would not have sole responsibility for designing the new evaluation system. It’s another sign of mounting frustration between the ombudsman’s office and the state department, which initiated a task force to address the runaway problems after The Sun/9News investigation but has not sought any major policy changes.

The news organizations found that in a three-year timeframe, Denver police were called to Tennyson Center for Children 938 times, one-third of the time because a child ran away. Denver police were called to Mount Saint Vincent about twice per week throughout 2019 and 2020, so often that the police department told the residential center it was not a “taxi service” to bring back runaway children.

Similar to Timmy, 15-year-old Andrew Potter was killed in 2018 after running away from Devereux Cleo Wallace in Westminster. He died after being struck by a suspected drunk driver on

Wadsworth Parkway.

The state child welfare division keeps track of how many foster children run away from foster homes and residential centers, but not many other details about those cases.

“When they run, this state has no consistency on how we locate them, when we bring them back, the treatment or evaluations that they should receive,” Villafuerte said. “And at this point, I can’t even tell you the exact number of youth in our state who have run from out-of-home placements, foster care, residential treatment facilities, how long they’ve been gone, when they returned and what happened to them while they were on the run.”

The task force, which would include young people who spent time in residential facilities, would consider ideas to prevent kids from running away, and to prevent kids from running into harm on the streets. For example, residential centers could make sure children with a history of running away have phone numbers to call for help. Also, the state could set up a standard protocol for kids who have returned from running away to make sure they get proper mental health treatment. The group also could review current state regulations that restrict when staff can physically restrain a child.

The scrutiny of residential centers comes as many centers have shut down in Colorado.

Since 2007, 44 facilities have closed, a loss of 2,200 therapeutic beds, according to the Colorado Association of Family and Children’s Agencies. The closures follow a nationwide call by child advocates and federal officials that more children should live in foster families or with relatives, rather than institutions.

But now Colorado has a severe shortage of options for kids with the most acute behavioral health issues, meaning kids are sent out of state for treatment, a situation the child protection ombudsman called “unacceptable.”

Attempt to stop water speculation is circling the drain Colorado lawmakers don’t have appetite for hurting farmers’ ability to sell

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

A move to dry up water speculation once and for all in Colorado ended at the legislature despite intense supply pressures from drought and water developers, as lawmakers said they’re loath to hurt farmers’ ability to sell their most valuable asset.

The Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee tabled the anti-speculation bill after first accepting an amendment to turn it into a between-sessions study of the problem. Technically, the measure could be revived, but the bill’s sponsors say the issue is over for this year.

As the headwaters of the most important rivers in the West, serving tens of millions of people Colorado “is the prime target” for water speculators, said sponsor Sen. Don Coram, R-Montrose.

“There is a real danger of those billion-dollar funds coming in and taking possession of that water,” Coram told the committee last week.

Lawmakers and water conservation district representatives who work with farmers countered that

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

water courts already prevent outright speculation, and that making sale of water rights harder would be a blow to the biggest property right that state farmers and ranchers possess. The biggest issue for farmers right now, they said, is competing with wealthy cities for a limited water supply.

“We don’t see speculation,” said Joe Frank, director of the Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District in northeastern Colorado. “Instead we see pressure from municipal providers buying up agricultural supply for future dryups.”

Colorado already has anti-speculation laws that require people to put their water rights to “beneficial use,” such as irrigating a farm, delivering tap water for a city, or releasing more water into rivers for recreation.

Water courts require those filing for a new use of a water right to show they have a customer for the new beneficial use. But there’s not a clear agreement on when legal brokering looks more like a speculative transaction.

State water experts say unanswered questions include how long a water buyer has to use the

right before selling it to another party without the deal being considered an illegal flip. There is also no clear consequence if a buyer later changes the use of the water that they expressed when acquiring the water right.

The bill backed by Coram and Sen. Kerry Donovan, a Vail Democrat, aimed to target situations where a water right is purchased specifically with the intent to make a profit in a later sale or transaction.

Coram claimed in backing the bill last week that it’s already happening. He pointed to Water Asset Management, an out-ofstate investor that has bought up shares in the Grand Valley Water Users Association. The New York investor currently leases the water rights back to local farmers, has said it is involved in agriculture for the long term, and has worked on water conservation improvements. But Coram said there’s little to stop the investor from getting paid by downstream states to let the water flow down the Colorado River instead of watering in-state crops.

Those wanting to curb speculation also bring up the San Luis Valley, where private investors from the Front Range want to use well water rights they’ve bought up to pipe over to Douglas County or other fast-growing suburban SEE WATER, P39

VOICES An impenetrable sea of nostalgia awaits

P

icture, if you will, driving down a main thoroughfare in your local home town. Your goal is simple, routine, even.

A little bit of Saturday shopping at the grocery store, as you do every week. But this time, you start to notice the other cars on the road begin to appear a little dated. Here and there you see gleaming, show room new looking vehicles from 20, 30, 40 even 50 or 60 years ago. Then you glance along the sidewalks and for some reason there are people sitting in lawn chairs scattered all about. As you drive along, more and more modern cars seem to be replaced by these vintage models and the crowd along the street gets more dense.

Eventually you reach a roundabout and the traffic starts to jam.

Ahead, you see police cars with flashing lights and officers directing traffic. The parking lots of the familiar businesses are now full of dozens of classic cars and hot rods with crowds of people mulling around, looking under the hoods and taking photos. Between you and your destination is a sea of nostalgia that seems impenetrable.

At first, you don’t know what’s

happening, but AVENUE then it hits you.

FLASHES It’s the first Saturday of the month and the warm weather has started to arrive. It’s at that point the realization smacks you like cold water on your face. You have now entered… the Golden Super John Akal Cruise zone!

That’s right. It’s May and that means all of those wonderful classic cars and hot rods will be cruising up and down South Golden Road on the first Saturday of every month from now through October 1.

It’s now become a Golden tradition and attracts cars and spectators from all across the region.

It’s a car show with a difference.

Instead of just parking them for show, people actually get to see and hear them driving down the street, making loops around the area.

It’s an actual good, old fashioned cruise like some of us used to do on a weekend night when we were teenagers.

Of course these cars are also parked in the various business lots up and down the street and their owners are proud to show them off and talk about all the restoration work and modifications they have done over time. It’s a really fun community event and always free to attend. A lot of folks bring along folding chairs and sit along to sidewalks to watch the cars drive by and wave.

They also have vendors here and there as well as some kind of music playing so it makes the whole thing really festive.

Over the years the event time has fluctuated a bit, but they seem to have found the sweet spot of running it from 5-8:30 p.m. again this year.

You can find out more information about the Golden Super Cruise, including a few rules for safety and a map of the designated cruise route on their website at www.goldensupercruise.com or you can call (303) 968-7536 for the information hot line. This event has become really well organized over the last several years and their website is terrific.

Now, that being said, there are

B

a few things that you, as a local t resident, need to know. Although “ there is an actual cruise route, i there will be lots of these classic a cars driving all over town most of w the afternoon and evening. If you M see a few of them, that’s your clue s that it’s Super Cruise day so be p aware that it’s going to take a few e extra minutes to get to the store or o anywhere else along South Golden Road during that time. I always z space the whole thing out, even i though I write about it a lot, and g find myself slapping my forehead o once I’m stuck in the middle of it — while doing a grocery run or some- C thing. Although they do park the t cars away from the businesses so p you can find a spot, you might want i b to try and remember to do your shopping a little earlier or later on those days. Or, just go with the flow and join the fun!

Things that don’t work

M

y Myers-Briggs personality type is, if memory serves, the INTJ, I think. Or maybe it’s INOR (in need of repair). Something. Anyway, the thing I remember about the profile of this personality type is “…will ruthlessly apply to every situation the question ‘does it work?’”

And I love finding things that work. Also, it explains, I suppose, why I tend to get on peoples’ nerves — thirty years in the public schools, you tend to discover a few things that don’t work.

For instance, last week was chaos around my house. We had a guy come in and re-do our kitchen cabinets (not doing it myself is one way of finding things that work). So, as soon as Easter dinner was over and cleaned up, we were emptying cabinets and moving appliances and desperately trying to find places for all the stuff that has accumulated over 20 years. And, let me tell you, the anticipation of a week being banished from our kitchen was… excellent.

But, you know what? It really was excellent. In the first place, the

cabinetry actually came in two months earlier than we were told to expect by the big box store we purchased through, so that’s really nice.

And then Jim, the contractor, showed up on time, he was neat, he talked us through the process and was open to Michael Alcorn our thoughts about things, and he actually got the job done a day early. And, apparently, cabinetry isn’t his only skill; he said he’s built a number of homes from the ground up. So… if you need a guy, I got a guy.

And even that wouldn’t have been a problem, if we had just been informed that it was scheduled to arrive. Instead, I just got an update via email this morning: its arrival has been pushed out until May 11.

Democrats, GOP joining to bring early cancer detection to older Americans

B

reaking down needless financial barriers to early-stage detection of cancer is a critical front in the war on cancer — and essential to the success of President Biden’s “Moonshot” to end cancer as we know it. The good news is that Democrats and Republicans in Congress are working together to give people with Medicare access to blood-based cancerscreening technologies that have the potential to dramatically increase early-stage diagnosis for a wide range of cancers.

In a time when it seems like there is zero bipartisan agreement in Washington, it’s real news that there is a groundswell at the Capitol — led by our own Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet — behind legislation to allow Multi Cancer Early Detection (MCED) tests to be covered by Medicare once approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration and shown to have clinical benefit.

This is a big deal, particularly for those of us who wished our cancer could have been diagnosed earlier. Let me tell you why.

We know that the later a cancer is diagnosed, the harder it is to treat. For example, only 6% of those diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer survive five years after their diagnosis. MCED holds great promise to help detect cancers earlier, and they are conducted through a simple blood draw that can detect dozens of cancers — including rare cancers.

The case for MCED technology received a big boost when the president included it in the relaunch of the cancer Moonshot, stressing that the concept of a broad screening for multiple cancers in the same test was once thought to be a distant dream. Now it’s on a near horizon.

As a colon cancer survivor, I know

GUEST COLUMN Martha Cox

the devastating effects of a late-stage diagnosis, not only on good health outcomes but also on cost. If my cancer had been caught earlier, my prognosis probably would have been far different and my treatment far less costly. It’s a basic fact that earlier detection means fewer lives lost to cancer — and better quality of life for those who are diagnosed and undergoing treatment.

Another fact is that for seniors here in Colorado and across the country, who are often on fixed incomes, additional out-of-pocket medical expenses for tests and treatments not covered by Medicare can be a non-starter. And yet, older Americans are our most at risk population for developing cancer, with 60 percent of people who have cancer being 65 or older. Thus, there can be an even greater benefit for seniors from expanded early detection testing.

That’s why we need Congress to pass Sen. Bennet’s bipartisan legislation.

The federal Multi Cancer Early De-

tection Screening Coverage Act, which Sen. Bennet introduced with Republican Sen. Mike Crapo, has garnered broad support across Congress and the cancer advocacy community. The legislation opens the door for Medicare to cover the tests quickly after receiving approval from the FDA and being shown to have clinical benefit.

Imagine the millions of older Americans who could live longer, have less costly and challenging treatments, and have a better quality of life because their cancer was caught early. Through one bill, Congress can show that there still are issues where leaders can reach across the political aisle and unite behind a landmark step forward for the health of those in every corner of our country.

hat can’t television do?

The answer to that question used to be obvious.

These days? Not so much.

Modern shows can have just as high production value as blockbusters, entice the same A-list talent as Oscar-bait dramas and be just as sophisticated as any auteur-driven production.

All this makes it easy to see why there’s a lot to celebrate in the eighth season of SeriesFest, which returns to in-person events from May 5 through May 11 at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver.

“It’s really, really exciting to be back and have the industry converging in Denver,” said Randi Kleiner, co-founder and CEO of SeriesFest.

“This will be our sixth in-person festival and we’ve grown exponentially every year to a more global audience.”

SeriesFest is a non-profit organization dedicated to championing artists at the forefront of episodic storytelling.

SeriesFest’s Season 8 features special events, screenings and panels that bring the best of current television shows as well as the opportunity to get an advanced look at the vanguard of the new generation.

A timeline of Colorado Parks & Wildlife history

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While Colorado is now iconic for its natural beauty and wild-

LOCAL

May 5, 2022

LIFE life, about 150 years ago, the state’s ecological resources had a rather bleak outlook.

Overhunting was devastating local deer, elk, pronghorn, bison, bear and bird populations; and water pollution was hurting the state’s fish and other species.

Wanting to preserve Colora-

do’s natural resources, the state government passed wildlife protection laws and later founded a department of game and fish.

The agency now named Colorado Parks & Wildlife celebrated its 125th anniversary on April 16.

Since their founding, the state’s parks and wildlife divi-

sions have opened 42 state parks and hundreds of other wildlife areas, and helped save several iconic species native to Colorado. While CPW has plenty of ongoing projects and long-term goals, its 125 years of environmental conservation and wildlife protection is a history worth celebrating.

1897

Colorado Governor Alva Adams signs House Bill 129, thereby creating the Department of Forestry, Game and Fish. The agency is charged with propagating and distributing game fish, promoting timber culture and passing and enforcing game and fish laws. The total annual budget is $10,500. The forestry portion is eventually dropped to become the Department of Game and Fish.

1903

Colorado issued its first hunting and outfitting licenses: $25 nonresident general license; $1/day bird license ($2 first day); and $1 resident license.

1913

With the deer population dropping quickly, the state passes legislation to protect buck deer until 1918.

1916

Colorado imports 50 elk from Wyoming, which were released in Idaho Springs and Pueblo County’s Greenhorn Mountains, to reestablish the state’s dwindling herds. In the early 1900s, only 40,000 elk remained in North America, mostly because of unregulated market hunting. After decades of conservation efforts, Colorado is now home to approximately 280,000, which is the largest population in the world.

1940

During this decade, the wildlife agency conducts the first bighorn sheep transplants between Georgetown and Silver Plume. As of 2022, the Georgetown herd is the third-largest in the state. The agency later completes more than 100 bighorn sheep transplants, mostly in the 1970s and 1980s. After decades of conservation efforts, Colorado has an estimated population of 7,000 bighorn sheep.

1949

The first Colorado State Parks feasibility study suggests establishing Roxborough as one of the first state parks. However, Roxborough wasn’t established as a state park until 1975.

1959

The governor signs a 25-year lease with the Army Corps of Engineers for the Cherry Creek Recreation Area. The new state park welcomes its first official visitor on June 17, and 168,700 people visited it in its first year.

1960

The state purchases 200 acres in Gilpin County, which later becomes the nucleus for Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

1961

The Colorado General Assembly passes legislation designating the bighorn sheep as the state animal.

1963

The Colorado State Parks and Recreation Department merges with the Game and Fish Department to form the Colorado Game, Fish and Parks Department.

1965

Bears are declared a game animal in Colorado.

1970

Legislature passes mandatory hunter education and blaze orange requirements for big-game hunters.

1972

Senate Bill 42 separates the Game, Fish and Parks Department into the Division of Wildlife and the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation within the Department of Natural Resources.

1972

Colorado legally defines wildlife as “wild vertebrates, mollusks and crustaceans.” Nearly 800 species came under the classification of wildlife.

1975

Chatfield State Park is established.

1977

After the state acquired a recreational lease for Barr Lake two years earlier, the new state park opens to the public.

1978

Biologists and wildlife officers transplant 24 moose from Utah and Wyoming to Colorado’s North Park region near Walden. Over the next three decades, the state releases more than 200 additional moose from Wyoming and Utah across the state. Today, Colorado is home to more than 2,400 moose and boasts one of the fastest-growing moose populations in the lower 48 states.

1978

After Eldorado Canyon’s owner threatened to sell the area for a rock quarry, public outcry prompts the state to buy the canyon and create Eldorado Canyon State Park.

1980

The Colorado Division of Wildlife director encourages hunters to clean up their own sport and, in the 1980-81 budget request, asks for funding to start a new program called Operation Game Thief to help crack down on poaching.

1982 The Colorado General Assembly approves a new lottery program with certain proceeds to benefit state and local park systems.

1990

Barr Lake State Park keeps with a national tradition of sponsoring a New Year’s morning First Hike around the park. Hearty hikers took part in the guided walk along the lakeside despite the cold temperatures and falling snow.

1992

Colorado voters approve the passage of Amendment 8, the Great Outdoors Colorado Amendment. This directs all state lottery proceeds to parks, open space and wildlife.

1994

2011

Colorado State Parks merges with the Colorado Division of Wildlife to form Colorado Parks & Wildlife. The Parks and Wildlife Commission is also established.

2013

Staunton State Park opens to the public.

The park, which is in Park and Jefferson counties, was built from a parcel first donated in 1986 by Frances Hornbrook Staunton. Subsequent parcels were acquired in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

CPW purchased the final parcel in 2006 to reach the current park’s 3,828-acre land base.

2021

Colorado Parks & Wildlife begins a fouryear study of the Front Range’s bald eagle population. The agency has record of more than 90 breeding pairs between Denver and Wyoming. This is an immense population growth since the late 1970s, when there were only three nests in Colorado.

2021

Colorado Parks & Wildlife acquires and establishes the Pals Family State Wildlife area between Empire and Georgetown. After the property owners proposed turning the area into a quarry, local partners partnered with CPW to preserve the land and protect the local bighorn sheep.

Colorado finds ‘forever chemicals’ in Colorado fish

State says fish in El Paso, Adams and Jefferson counties contaminated

A new Colorado study found toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” in 100% of the fish it sampled from previously known contaminated water bodies in El Paso, Jefferson and Adams counties, adding to a growing series of reports on damage from the waterproofing materials’ spread in the environment.

Staff from the Colorado health department, the Colorado School of Mines and Colorado Parks and Wildlife collected 49 fish across 10 species in the summer and fall of 2020, according to a new summary of the study. They sampled fish from Willow Springs Pond in Fountain, in El Paso County; Mann-Nyholt Lake in Henderson, in Adams County; and Tabor Lake in Wheatridge, in Jefferson County.

The sites were chosen in part because they are popular fishing spots where anglers often eat their catch.

All of the fish contained a form of PFAS, used to make nonstick utensils, firefighting foam and countless consumer products, though state officials say there is as yet no federal or local standard warning at what level of PFAS that fish should not be eaten.

“Because of the limitations of this project, it is not possible to draw conclusions about whether the levels of PFOS found in fish at these water bodies are high enough to harm human health,” the state study says.

The highest concentrations of the forever chemicals were in fish from Willow Springs Pond, fed by Fountain Creek, up to 241 nanograms per gram. The draft study says that “In states that have fish consumption guidelines . . . the ‘Do not consume’ level ranges from 50 ng/g to 300 ng/g, with most advisories set at around 200 ng/g.”

Willow Springs Pond also had by far the highest concentration of forever chemicals in samples of the water itself, well above the EPA’s current drinking water guideline of 70 parts per trillion.

Fish sampled included perch, carp, sunfish, northern pike and more.

Colorado water activists said the report confirms their fears and leaves many questions.

“We are just beginning to understand the impact of PFAS chemicals on aquatic species and wildlife. PFAS need to be banned in order to stop the on-going poisoning of our children, the water we drink, and the foods we consume,” said Fran Silva Blayney, a Colorado Springs activist who follows Fountain Creek PFAS issues, and a member of Great Old Broads for Wilderness.

Colorado Democrats aim to quickly pass property tax relief Push aimed at heading off ballot measure from business group, conservatives

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The debate over how to tackle rising property taxes is poised to dominate the final days of Colorado’s 2022 legislative session, as Gov. Jared Polis, Democratic lawmakers and Colorado Concern, a deep-pocketed business organization, hastily negotiate a plan to provide relief that’s sufficient but that doesn’t also deny local governments billions in future funding.

With just two weeks left in the lawmaking term, the high-stakes conversations, which have been happening behind the scenes for months, are getting more intense.

Polis and Democrats are trying to quickly introduce and pass property tax reduction legislation to head off a 2022 ballot measure from Colorado Concern, a nonprofit that represents the interests of the state’s top business executives, that would permanently cap property tax increases.

While everyone generally agrees that something needs to be done to reduce Coloradans’ property tax tabs, there is a wide chasm when it comes to how and how much. As of Tuesday, the policy details of the deal were still very much in flux.

The legislation could come in many different forms, including a property valuation rate reduction.

Lawmakers have also set aside $200 million for property tax relief, but it’s unclear how they would spend it.

It appears any deal would only be temporary, lasting as few as two years, as both sides work toward finding a long-term solution.

“There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen,” said Senate President Steve Fenberg. “We just need to get (the bill) right before we introduce it.”

Asked if there were any specific options on the table, Fenberg didn’t directly answer, only saying that Democratic leadership at the Capitol is trying to figure out the policy

proposal that would “provide the most relief.”

This is the second year of endof-session debate around property taxes — which fund schools — at the Colorado Capitol. In 2021, lawmakers passed an 11th-hour billtemporarily slashing property tax valuation rates and recategorizing properties for taxation purposes in order to blunt the effect of an ultimately unsuccessful ballot measure pushed by conservatives that would have resulted in a much larger property tax cut.

Those involved in the discussions this year have said they are essentially negotiating under threat: if they don’t pass a property tax relief bill, Colorado Concern could move forward with a measure siphoning as much as $1.3 billion in expected tax revenue from local coffers in its first year.

“It’s kind of an unfortunate way of having conversations about what the proper policy is for moving forward,” said House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver. “It’s not a great way of governing. It’s not the best way of doing business.”

Garnett says he doesn’t see a permanent fix on the horizon, which means it’s possible — if not likely — that the annual property tax debate continues as property values rise and property taxes continue to follow suit.

Colorado Concern, however, sees its proposal — which would cap

property valuation increases at roughly 3% for taxation purposes — as that permanent solution.

“The measure provides critical relief for taxpayers while balancing the needs of local communities who depend on tax revenue to fund essential services,” Mike Kopp, a former state lawmaker who leads Colorado Concern, said in a written statement earlier this year when the proposal was unveiled.

Polis’ office said in a statement Tuesday night that “the governor will continue to partner with the state legislature and local leaders to save Coloradans money.”

Progressives, meanwhile, led by the liberal-leaning Bell Policy Center, are pleading with Democrats this year not to give up too much in their efforts to keep Colorado Concern from moving forward with a ballot measure. They fear a major property tax reduction would spell disaster for school and local government funding.

“Let’s not let Colorado Concern dictate the terms of how we solve this,” said Scott Wasserman, who leads Bell.

Colorado Concern has filed a host of similar proposed ballot measures as it works to determine which to advance. But a poll commissioned by the Bell Policy Center indicated that one of Colorado Concern’s main proposals, Initiative 75, which would cap property value increases at 3% for taxation purposes, lacks enough

support to pass in November.

Fifty-two percent of those polled said they would vote for the measure, while 28% said they would vote against it and 20% said they were completely undecided or had no lean whatsoever. Initiative 75 would need the support of 55% of voters to pass since it would amend the constitution.

Colorado Concern has proposed other, similar ballot measures that wouldn’t require a constitutional change and thus could pass with a simple majority. But the general rule of thumb for ballot measures in Colorado is that they only pass when they poll well above what’s needed for passage.

“I don’t think they have nearly as strong a hand as they are publicly saying they are,” Wasserman said.

The poll also indicated there is far more support for progressive property tax relief ballot measure ideas being pushed by Wasserman, including one that would enact an extra tax or fee on homes worth more than $2 million. But Wasserman doesn’t appear to have the financial backing needed to collect the roughly 125,000 signatures required to get his ideas on the ballot.

“That’s the elephant in the room,” he said, “isn’t it?”

Looming over the frenzy is Initiative 110, a proposed ballot measure filed by conservative fiscal policy activist Michael Fields that would cap property tax increasesat 2% annually. Fields said he is not part of the negotiations with the governor’s office and Colorado Concern.

“We’re waiting to see what the deal is,” he said.

Lawmakers were slated to be briefed by the governor’s office Tuesday on the latest negotiations with Colorado Concern.

Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, said it’s unlikely a bill will be introduced until early next week.

Colorado has models for universal preschool

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Florida and Vermont may serve as examples

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

When Colorado launches free preschool for 4-year-olds in 2023, it will join four other states that already offer universal preschool.

All of them have encountered the same tricky task Colorado leaders now face as they try to knit together a disparate patchwork of public and private preschools into an equitable and high-quality statewide system.

We’ll take a look at some of the lessons learned in four states: Florida, Oklahoma, Vermont and Wisconsin.

Some, like Oklahoma, have offered the program for decades, while others, like Vermont — one of the few places to offer free preschool to all 3- and 4-year-olds — have joined the club more recently. Wisconsin officials said they don’t consider their preschool program universal because school districts don’t have to offer the state-funded classes, though 99% do.

Colorado’s universal preschool program will offer 10 hours a week to all 4-year-olds, with children who have higher needs eligible for more.

Funding will come from Colorado’s existing state-funded preschool program, which is for children from low-income families, or who have language delays, or other risk factors, and proceeds from a voterapproved nicotine tax.

Advocates in the four states cited

ongoing challenges in everything from ensuring high-quality offerings to making part-day preschool work for families, but they also said the programs are generally popular.

In all four states, at least 70% of 4-year-olds participated prior to the pandemic.

Sherry Carlson, chief program officer at the Vermont advocacy group, Let’s Grow Kids, said the state’s system is not perfect, but “usage is an indication that we’re on the right track.”

federal funds for low-income students — cover the extra cost of fullday preschool for some students, but the coveted spots are in short supply.

In Vermont, momentum had been growing to increase the number of state-funded preschool hours beyond the current 10 a week, but the pandemic derailed that discussion, said Carlson.

“There is a lot of agreement, particularly among working families and schools, that more time would be better,” she said.

The half-day problem Colorado’s plan to offer 10 hours of preschool a week to most children is similar to preschool programs in states like Florida, Vermont, and Wisconsin. The problem is that half-day programs don’t work for a lot of families.

Professor Beth Graue, director of the Center for Research on Early Childhood Education at the University of Wisconsin Madison, studied Wisconsin parents’ preschool choices and found that many declined to enroll in the program because of the schedule.

“The half-day format is a nightmare for at least a third of all the parents we surveyed,” she said. “It’s curious to me in today’s day and age that people imagine that a half day would work.“ When universal preschool originally launched in Florida, the vision was to offer both a 3-hour and a 6-hour preschool day, but there was never enough funding for the longer day, said Madeleine Thakur, president of the advocacy group, The Children’s Movement of Florida.

Some schools — those that receive

Teacher qualification conundrum The four states profiled have various requirements for universal preschool teachers — Oklahoma and Wisconsin require them to have bachelor’s degrees, while Florida does not. Vermont is something of a hybrid — requiring bachelor’s degrees for universal preschool teachers in public school settings, but not for all teachers in private settings.

These differences reflect both ongoing national debate about whether teachers with four-year college degrees provide better preschool experiences than those without, and the reality that such requirements pose a major financial barrier in light of the field’s low pay.

The National Institute for Early Education Research, which ranks states annually on preschool access and funding, includes bachelor’s degree requirements among 10 benchmarks showing whether states have key quality standards in place.

mining the scope of the PFAS contamination issue in Colorado,” Blayney said. “However, there needs to be more surface water testing, and fish sampling, and testing of wildlife that consume fish to evaluate the impact that PFAS chemicals have on our food web systems.”

Blayney said she watches birds take up fish from the impacted waters, and wonders what their PFAS contamination will turn out to be.

Research on the dangers of PFAS forms, which come in thousands of chemical varieties, is ongoing, the state said.

“The project has a number of limitations and was too small to determine whether PFAS in the fish sampled are high enough to harm human health,” according to the study summary from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “CDPHE will continue to share information and take action to protect and notify the public as we work with federal, state, and local partners to conduct additional testing of PFAS in fish and find innovative solutions to protect Coloradans.”

The state said “Five of the 49 (-10%) fish samples from our pilot project had PFOS levels above 200 ng/g. All five of these fish were caught from the Willow Springs

‘People whoare concerned about PFAS in fish caught in Colorado waterbodies may want to limit the amount of recreationally-caught fish they eat. However, fish is part of a healthy diet.

Ponds.” PFOS is one variety of the forever chemicals.

Colorado appears to be walking a narrow path between warnings about PFAS in foods and putting the research so far into context.

“People whoare concerned about PFAS in fish caught in Colorado waterbodies may want to limit the amount of recreationally-caught fish they eat. However, fish is part of a healthy diet,” said State Toxicologist Kristy Richardson, in written responses to questions about the study.

“The U.S. FDA has tested fish products from grocery stores nationwide and while PFOS was found in those samples, the agency concluded ‘our safety assessments have shown no cause for avoiding these foods.’” Richardson said.

EPA is working to develop fish advisory program guidance in spring 2023, and Colorado will evaluate the guidance to determine if it can be implemented here.

Efforts to identify the alarming extent of PFAS pollution in Colorado, and how to set limits on water or food consumption, are underway on multiple fronts.

Colorado is among the first states to require certain industries to limit PFAS emissions in their water discharge permits, with a recommended permit requiring cuts at the Suncor Energy refinery currently under review. Suncor’s discharge goes into Sand Creek, and then immediately into the South Platte River.

Colorado also has community water sampling programs underway in areas known or suspected to be impacted, concentrated heavily in areas where runoff

from airfield firefighting foam or wildfire firefighting materials may have impacted local water supplies. The state is also implementing grant programs where it agrees to take PFAS firefighting foam off the hands of local firefighting departments if they can find effective alternatives.

Nationally, consumer and science groups have been pressing the EPA to make its drinking water guidelines for PFAS into enforceable, strict limits, and set the bar much lower than the current suggestion of 70 parts per trillion. Colorado health officials have said that if the EPA does not act swiftly enough, they are considering setting their own drinking water standard.

Municipal wastewater treatment plants must now test their treated outflows for PFAS levels and report to the state, beginning last January.

Fountain, where the El Paso fish samples were taken, had to shut down its municipal water supply in 2015 after PFAS was detected, replacing it with supplies from a cleaner Pueblo Reservoir.

The city eventually began treating its water sources with PFASremoving materials supplied by the U.S. Air Force, where much of the firefighting foam runoff originated.

In 2021, The Colorado Sun reported in conjunction with analysis from the nonprofit Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility that the state may have more sites that have stored or handled PFAS than anywhere in the nation.

Some Colorado lawmakers want to ban the sale of common consumer goods made with PFAS, including carpet and kitchen items, and are sponsoring a bill with a partial ban beginning in 2024.

Tips from an expert on surviving spring allergies Spring in Colorado brings high pollen counts, but you don’t have to suffer

gist’s office. Running an air filter in the house can make a difference, too.

After being outside, changing and washing your clothes can reduce the amount of pollen in your home, as well as bathing pets who spend time outside.

Dr. Menich says that while some people are quick to accuse the trees and plants in their own yards for causing their allergies, pollen is airborne and can come from far away.

“You can be affected by pollen 100 miles away,” he said.

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Spring is here and so are high pollen counts: here’s how to enjoy your spring in Colorado.

“The spring in Colorado, its primarily tree and wheat pollen,” said Dr. Mark Menich from Boulder Valley Allergy and Asthma Clinic.

“You have a peak of tree pollen being released in February, March and April, then you have the grass pollen being released right about now.”

Pollen counts are highest in the mornings, and once it gets warm after cool, rainy weather. Open space grass also holds a high pollen count.

Common spring behaviors, like opening your windows, spending time outside and exercising in the morning can all bring more pollen into your life. However, Dr. Menich said there is not a lot you can do to avoid pollen in the spring.

“There’s not much you can really do about pollen allergy, unless you’re willing to stay indoors and wear a filtration device on your head.”

kids, but only if it’s high quality.

Colorado’s existing preschool program doesn’t require bachelor’s degrees and meets only four of the institute’s 10 benchmarks.

Carlson, who estimated that 60% of Vermont’s universal preschoolers are served in private settings, said the more lenient degree requirements for those classrooms was one of the concessions made when the program began. The state has put money toward helping preschool teachers further their education, but more needs to be done, she said.

Carlson’s advice to Colorado: “Be willing to compromise with a plan [that says] this is where we’re starting and we’re going to keep working to get to … where the vision was.”

Thakur, of Florida, said many wonderful preschool teachers don’t have bachelor’s degrees currently so it shouldn’t be a requirement at the inception of a universal program. Plus, with teachers in private preschool settings often paid much less than public school counterparts, it’s not fair to require the degrees, she said.

Who’s got access?

The idea behind universal preschool is to serve every child whose parents want a spot, but that can be hard to deliver on a consistent statewide basis.

Carlson said offering preschool in both public and private settings helps ensure access in Vermont, partly because private centers can often provide wraparound care that meshes with parents’ work schedules and locations. At the same time, some preschoolers with disabilities lose out on special education services if they attend preschool with private providers outside of their school districts, she said.

The goal should be to “put children and families at the center,” she said.

“Then don’t let paperwork or artificial boundaries” get in the way.

Joe Dorman, CEO at the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy, said reaching rural children has been a struggle in his state. In some cases, it’s because of preschool staff shortages or a dearth of seats, but there are also some families who don’t see the value of preschool, he said.

“This has been one of our crown jewels,” he said. “It amazes me that people won’t take the time to look at the benefits and see the good that can come from it.”

Dorman said Colorado should edu-

cate parents about the free preschool program before children turn 4.

“Begin the promotional process early,” he said. “Ensure that families recognize this.”

And while these marquee events are exciting, it’s important to remember SeriesFest is a great opportunity to experience up-andcoming talent in events like the Independent Pilot Competition and Collegiate Spotlight.

“The success of shows like `Squid Game’ are opening up people’s mindset and we’re see-

ing an interesting in content from all over the world,” Kleiner said.

“Many of the pilots we’re receiving are much more international and we’ve created a program that reflects that depth of talent.”

No matter what audiences check out, the aim is they come away thrilled and moved by what they saw and what the future holds for the medium.

“I hope people live inspired and excited and have learned something about themselves and the industry, whether they work in it or not,” Taylor said. “We’re all excited for the way this storytelling medium is continuing to grow.”

Preschool and K-12: separate or together?

In some universal preschool states, school districts are in charge of overseeing the program locally and offer many preschool seats in public school classrooms. These factors make school districts a key player in the universal preschool discussion, but also raise questions about how close the association should be.

Experts from other states said it’s important that universal preschool be designed around the developmental needs of young children.

Thakur said Colorado leaders should be careful “not to bring the rigor of the K-12 system down into preschool.”

“You’ve really got to focus on relationships, making sure children learn how to communicate, cooperate, listen, and follow routines,” she said. “Those are the kinds of things that are a real down payment for the kindergarten teacher.”

Colorado’s existing preschool program is administered by school districts and 77% of students attend the program in public school classrooms,

She’ll be participating in a conversation and Q&A with Aisha

but planned changes could shake up public schools’ role in universal preschool.

Graue agreed that preschool should be developmentally appropriate, not narrowly focused on math and literacy, but also noted the downsides of divorcing preschool and K-12 policy.

During a statewide class size reduction effort in Wisconsin, for example, Graue said kindergarten classes went down to 15 children, but preschool classes in the same buildings were often much larger because they weren’t included in the state initiative.

In addition, although Wisconsin’s state-funded preschool classrooms in private settings must adhere to class size caps mandated by state child care regulations, public schools aren’t subject to those limits. Instead, each district establishes its own preschool class size rules.

“That’s the problem of the 4K (Wisconsin preschool) program working in this liminal space between K-12 and the child care system,” Graue said.

Golden boys lacrosse grabs first conference victory

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Golden’s boys lacrosse team rallied from a 3-0 deficit on April 29 to snag a must-win victory against rival Evergreen.

Junior Lochlan Rogers and freshman Brakken McDougal scored two goals each as the Demons grabbed a 8-4 victory at Trailblazer Stadium. It was the first Class 4A Foothills League win for Golden (4-9, 1-3 in league) this season.

“Yes, the season hasn’t gone the way we wanted it to, but we are turning it around,” Golden senior Dalton Summers said. “It’s getting better.”

Summers — who has signed to play lacrosse at Adams State next year — is one of the last reminiscence from Golden’s 4A state championship team from 2019. Golden senior Logan Brewer will join Summers playing for the Grizzlies at the college level next year.

The Demons have struggled this season, but have put together their first 2-game winning streak after defeating Vail Mountain and Evergreen this week. After a 4-game losing streak, Golden is right back in the picture to get into the postseason.

However, making the playoffs wasn’t central on the Demons’ minds Friday facing Evergreen (3-8, 0-5).

“We treated this as it’s our rivals with Evergreen,” Summers said. “Every win matters for us, but playing our rivals and getting revenge from last

year is what mattered today.”

The Cougars — who have now lost six straight — defeated the Demons 8-4 last season. Evergreen got off to a good start with goals from Nash Carroll, Nate Park and Eli Park to give the Cougars a 3-0 lead early in the second quarter.

Golden got a pair of goals back with McDougal and Rogers finding the back of the net to make the score 3-2 going into halftime. Goals by Chase Marini and Sean Landmark put the Demons up 4-3 before Nate Park scored his second goal of the game to tie things up 4-4 going into the final quarter.

It was all Demons in the fourth with John Meyers, McDougal, Rogers and Zach Henderson all score within a 5-minute span for the eventual 8-4 win.

Golden finishes out the regular season against Green Mountain and Castle View next week. The Demons need to finish in the top-20 of the RPI rankings to make the 20-team 4A state tournament. Golden was No. 18 before the win over Evergreen.

The Cougars actually still have a shot at the postseason. Evergreen has four games next week — Kent Denver, Erie, Glenwood Springs and Vail Mountain — to wrap up its regular season. The Cougars were No. 19 in the RPI standings before the loss to Golden.

Spring cleaning brings new items to local thrift stores Resale shops are seeing an increase in donations as people clear out their houses for spring.

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Local thrift stores are seeing more donations as people begin to tackle spring cleaning.

Jackie Smith, owner of Creating Space Home Organizing in Evergreen, helps people organize and let go of things in their homes. This time of year, she sees people getting motivated to tackle more of these projects. She said this is in part due to people’s relationship with nature.

“It’s a time of rebirth, it’s a time of renewal,” she said.

“We’re on the same wavelength with nature.”

Whatever your philosophy, thrift stores are seeing the results of people cleaning out unwanted items.

EAPL Thrift Shop manager Elizabeth Pruitt said this is the start of the busy season at their store.

“We definitely do see an increase in donations this time of

year,” she said.

As an incentive to donate, EAPL offers coupons to come shop in the store when people donate.

EChO Resale Shop also sees more activity during spring cleaning.

“We do definitely see a little bit more of a surplus this time of year,” said supervisor Sam Austin. “There are a lot of nice items that come through.”

EChO Resale Shop also is currently working on moving the thrift store over to Meadow Drive in Evergreen to be with the food bank and other operations.

Smith says when starting to tackle spring organizing and cleaning projects, to make sure you start with what you find yourself called to, and if you get overwhelmed, examine the big decisions to make things easier.

“Everything is working towards that renewal and that restart and that growing and blooming,” Smith said. “People are less hesitant at this time of year.”

If you get stuck or overwhelmed, professionals like Smith offer home organizing, staging and consignment help.

Smith says the best first approach is to throw open the windows and “feel into what’s right for you at the moment.”

legislature won’t do anything until “after the water has already left the state.”

Donovan said increasing drought and growth pressures threaten Colorado with a compact call in coming years, meaning state or federal authorities will cut off local uses of Colorado River water to satisfy agreements with Lower Basin states like California, Nevada and Arizona. When Colorado needs to find water in a compact call, Dono-

van said, the state should not “find ourselves negotiating in a time of crisis with someone who just wants the highest price.”

Coloradans are understandably nervous, she added, about curtailing the assets of farmers, and she understands that “water always takes a long time to figure out.” But she was disappointed, she said, that even the amendment for further legislative study couldn’t move forward.

The proposal says the new quality-assurance system would go into place by July 2026, with a preliminary report due next year.

The bill is the latest from Michaelson Jenet to tackle the children’s mental health crisis.

Another piece of legislation she introduced this session would allow county child welfare divi-

sions to set up agreements with local agencies that could take in children who have been picked up by law enforcement but cannot go home. That bill arose after counties said children were sleeping in county buildings and waiting hours in the back of police cars when they had no family to house them or it wasn’t safe to bring

them home.

For teens, nothing serves up an addiction like flavored tobacco.

Tobacco companies sell kid-friendly flavors, from Cherry Dynamite to Donut to Menthol. Over 2 million kids use e-cigarettes, and 85% use flavors. More than 1 in 4 Colorado high school students are hooked.

We’re asking legislators to end the sale of flavored tobacco that the industry has used to addict our kids.

Let’s put our kids’ health over Big Tobacco’s profits.

PROTECT OUR KIDS. END THE SALE OF ALL FLAVORED TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
