A devilishly good time at Ghoul-den High

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As darkness fell across the land and the midnight hour was close at hand, ghosts, witches, devils, Spider-Men, Minions, Mandalorians and other creatures descended on Golden High School in search of treats.

The GHS Student Council and other clubs and teams hosted the school’s annual trick-or-treat street on Oct. 28, with hundreds of children and their parents braving the spooky passageways to collect bagfuls of candy.

Goldenites brainstorm priorities from housing needs assessment

Major concerns include workforce housing, commuter counts, parking

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Housing in Golden is unrealistic for many, thanks to staggering home prices and rents. Land is limited, and building anything is expensive.

So, how should the City of Golden solve these issues, and which strategies or aspects should it tackle first?

These were among the questions community members discussed during an Oct. 27 community meeting cohosted by the city and the Golden United Housing Task Force. The city presented findings and recommendations from its 2022 Housing Needs and Strategies Assessment and then had the 40-some attendees break into groups to discuss which aspects should be prioritized.

Workforce housing was a major concern for several break-out groups, along with protecting the city’s current affordable units, building new ones and ensuring lower-income households can live in Golden.

The next steps, officials explained to the meeting attendees, include bringing these discussion points to Golden’s new affordable housing committee.

City Council recently approved creating the committee, and the city manager is assembling up to seven members who are either residents or have expertise in the subject. The members should be announced by Nov. 7, city staff confi rmed.

The committee will review the 2022 assessment and the community meeting’s discussion points, and then will bring formal recommendations to City Council in about six months.

The 2022 assessment

According to the 2022 Housing Needs and Strategies Assessment, the average home price in Golden has doubled since 2015, according to the study. For the fi rst half of 2022, the average single-family home sold for $1 million, up from $533,000 in 2015.

Rental units weren’t much better off, as the average monthly rent rose from $1,511 in 2015 to $1,929 in 2021.

Overall, the percentage of families and workingage people in Golden has declined since 2000; middle- and low-income households are being pushed out by exorbitant housing costs, and 95% of Golden’s workforce lives outside the city.

The number of 24- to 55-year-olds living in Golden has declined over the past two decades, while the number of 55+ residents has more than doubled.

The assessment recommended several steps for the City of Golden to help improve its situation, including creating an affordable housing committee, creating fi nancial or other incentives to improve the feasibility of developing affordable units, and expediting the development review and permitting process.

After Refacing

Community members’ feedback

During the Oct. 27 meeting, several discussion groups struggled with the assessment’s breakdown of those who commute into Golden to work, called incommuters.

About 95% of Golden’s workforce are in-commuters, but the groups noticed this applied to city limits. Thus, if someone lived in the Lookout Mountain or Pleasant View areas — which are outside city limits — and drove into Golden proper to work, they’d technically be in-commuters.

The groups wondered how the data would look from a more regional perspective. They also described challenging the assessment’s implication that everyone should live where they work, saying some employees don’t want to live in Golden regardless of affordability.

Having an economically diverse housing stock was another discussion point, with both officials and residents saying it’s important that residents should be able to move locally as

Since 2000, Golden has experienced a moderate increase in the number of 18- to 34-year-old residents, a decrease in residents aged 34-55, and a massive increase in residents 55 and older

their incomes and other life factors change.

Parking was another concern. While decreasing the number of parking spots for a given development might drive down costs, it would also exacerbate the city’s current parking

issues, some groups described.

Overall, participants described being shocked by how expensive Golden’s average home prices and rents are. One group noted how most of the Front Range was feeling a simi-

lar pinch, and said Golden should work with surrounding cities and other entities to tackle these issues regionally.

Grand jury to investigate Christian Glass case

state, local and federal agencies.

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Fifth Judicial District Attorney Heidi McCollum announced on Oct. 26 that she will be presenting the officer-involved shooting of Christian Glass to the Fifth Judicial Grand Jury.

The DA’s office has been investigating the death of Boulder man Christian Glass that took place on June 10, 2022 in Silver Plume.

The DA’s investigation has been in collaboration with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and other

“After a comprehensive investigation, I now intend to bring this matter to the grand jury which, at my request, is scheduled to convene multiple times during the month of November,” said McCollum in a press release from the DA’s office.

McCollum continued that events like these must be properly investigated in order to seek justice.

The shooting has spurred public outcry in Clear Creek County, as members of the public call for police accountability.

The purpose of the grand jury is to investigate matters brought before it and return charges in an indictment if evidence warrants.

McCollum said once it is completed, she will share the findings with the community.

What’s the Cost of Converting a Home From Electric + Natural Gas to All-Electric?

In several recent columns, I have promoted the idea of eliminating natural gas and converting one’s home to allelectric, using heat pumps for heating & cooling and installing a heat pump water heater. I have also promoted induction cooktops as an alternative to standard electric cooktops.

One reader asked me to provide information on the cost of making the conversion to all-electric, so I have done some research and can also speak from personal experience.

First, I asked Bill Lucas-Brown of Helio Home Inc., who installed the heat pump mini-split system at Golden Real Estate’s former office on South Golden Road as well as in our storefront in downtown Golden.

I asked Bill for a rough estimate of the cost of making a typical 2,000 sq. ft. home all-electric, and he responded with the following numbers and comments.

Note that rebates and tax incentives are available from the state, feds, utilities, and local municipalities that typically range from 15 to 30 percent off total cost. The following are costs without those rebates. Helio Home has a rebate sheet which it can provide to you.

Heat pump water heater $4,000

Cold climate air source heat pump $22,000

EV Charger $1,500

Insulation and air sealing work to improve efficiency $5,000

Ventilation system for indoor air quality $4,000

10kW solar system PV $30,000

Electric panel upgrade, if needed $4,000

That said, Helio Home’s average job is around $50,000. With rebates, figure $35,000 to $43,000. You can get a proposal at www.heliohome.io

Sadly, there are few vendors who are experienced and competent in heat pumps for heating and cooling homes. Heat pump water heaters are less of a challenge, because they are sold by Lowe’s and Home Depot, and you just need a plumber to install them and an electrician to pull a 240-Volt circuit to it. I bought a 50gallon heat pump water heater in 2021 for $1,200 and was able to do the electrical work myself because of a nearby 240V circuit that was no longer in use. The self-employed plumber I used charged just $500, and I got a $400 rebate from Xcel Energy, so the cost was less than the figure quoted above. The federal rebate taking effect in January under the IRA makes such a purchase almost free.

You may find it more practical to leave your gas forced air furnace in place and install a ductless mini-split system. A compressor (similar to an A/C compressor) is installed outside your home, and two coolant lines are run to wallmounted units in different rooms of your house. This works best in a one-story home. These same wall units provide

Sustainability Is Now Affordable

The Inflation Reduction Act includes rebates or tax credits for almost everything you can do to make your home more energy efficient, including going all-electric. Even the initial energy audit that I have recommended many times earns a $150 rebate. Go solar, and go all-electric!

You'll enjoy an Xcel Energy bill of $45 per month, including gas, during the summer and still under $100 per month in the winter thanks to this home's roof-mounted solar photovoltaic system. The address is 14165 W. Bates Ave., in Hutchinson’s Green Mountain Village, which is south of Yale Avenue and north of Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood. It has 3 bedrooms, 3½ baths, plus a 14’x16’ loft that could be converted into a 4th bedroom with en suite bathroom. It has 2,957 finished square feet plus an unfinished basement. This home is beautifully landscaped and updated inside, with hardwood floors on

kitchen, and a fabulous backyard with its free-standing Sunsetter retractable awning — great for entertaining! The walk-in closet in the master suite is a

both heating and cooling, because that’s how heat pumps work — they are like an air conditioner that works in two directions, moving heat out of your home in the summer and into your home in the winter. As the name suggests, they don’t create heat, they move heat, and they do it more efficiently than baseboard electric heating or heating that is generated by burning natural gas (or propane).

Instead of the wall-mounted minisplits, you can install a ceiling mounted “cassette” which functions the same way. That’s what Helio Home installed in our downtown storefront, and it works just as well. (Come by our office and I’ll show it to you.) I have also seen a wallmounted cassette which has a picture frame on it. When the cassette is running, the picture move out a couple inches away from the wall to move air.

As for an EV charger, the biggest variable is the cost of bringing a 240V circuit to your garage, which depends on the distance between the garage and your breaker panel. I spent less that $300 for

that, again from a self-employed electrician. Tesla vehicles have the charger built into the car, so you only need a 240V outlet (similar to your clothes dryer) to plug the provided cord into. Don’t buy the Tesla Wall Connector — it’s totally unnecessary for home use. Just use the charging cord.

Other EVs may require you to purchase a Level 2 charging station, which I did when I had a Chevy Volt. Googling “Level 2 EV chargers,” I see prices as low as $200 (Home Depot, 16 amp model), and several under $500. So your real cost depends on what your electrician charges. Here’s an idea: If you have an electric dryer outlet available close to your garage, you could adapt that circuit for your EV at minimal cost.

Another use of natural gas that you’re probably using is for cooking and grilling. You’ll really love induction cooking if you try it, because it is so much faster. Buy a countertop unit for under $100 and play with it. For grilling, we love the George Foreman electric grill for $100.

I did a lot of research for last week’s column about property taxes in unincorporated vs. incorporated areas, but I should have done more research about sales taxes.

Instead of researching sales taxes in various counties, including Jefferson, I simply said that “I don’t know of” any county-wide sales taxes. Oops!

I am well aware of the 1/2 percent Jefferson County sales tax which has funded our wonderfully extensive open space parks.

Readers did some research for me, and I got the following list of sales taxes in other counties. I’m not including Denver and Broomfield counties because those are city sales taxes and there are no unincorporated areas (that I know of) in those two city/counties.

Reader Gary Justus wrote that all met-

ro counties except one have a countywide sales tax, according to the website

https://colorado.ttr.services:

Jefferson County 0.50%

Adams County 0.75%.

Douglas County 1.00%

Arapahoe County 0.25%

Boulder County 0.985%

Clear Creek County 2.65%

Elbert County 1.00%

Gilpin County (none)

Most counties beyond the metro area do, in fact, have sales taxes, some of them substantial, such at Pitkin County (3.6%), San Juan County (6.5%), and Jackson & Lake Counties (4% each).

Colorado Department of Revenue Publication 1002 spells out the sales taxes which it collects for local jurisdictions. Some, like Golden, aren’t listed, because they collect their own sales taxes.

5th Judicial DA presents o cer-involved shooting case to a grand jury

Je co and Gilpin County to host warrant resolving event

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Active warrants for non-violent and low-level misdemeanors and traffic charges will have the opportunity to be resolved without arrest on Nov. 5 in the third Fresh Start event hosted by Colorado’s First Judicial District.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Jefferson County Administration and Courts Facility in Golden, people will be able to resolve minor cases that “traditionally involve arrests and court appearances that can negatively impact defendants who want to accept accountability,” according to a statement by the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office. This includes people from both Jeffco and Gilpin county.

According to Brionna Boatright, director of public affairs at the Attorney’s Office, 89 people have had their warrants cleared, with the 50 from the first event saving taxpayers about $37,000 by saving over 37 hours that sheriff deputies would have spent arresting those people.

The event began as a solution from the Criminal Justice Coordi-

nating Committee to the backlog of over 27,000 warrant cases in the jurisdiction, said Boatright. “Often people fail to appear because of the fear of being arrested or barriers such as housing, employment or childcare during traditional court hours,” said Jennifer Kilpatrick, director of conviction integrity and equity for the Attorney’s Office. “This event serves our mission of promoting safer and healthier communities by allowing us to settle these cases and provide defendants with the opportunity for a fresh start.”

Public defenders will be available to provide consultation to those that are eligible to have their warrant resolved, along with representatives from Jefferson Center for Mental Health, Hazelbrook Sober Living and Stout Street Clinic, among others, to provide information and resources.

The event also allows people with “non-violent, low-level felonies that have recently been reclassified as misdemeanors” to resolve their cases as well. Those who have been charged or convicted with an offense such as assault, child abuse, unlawful sexual contact or domestic violence are excluded from the program, as are people with weapons offenses and more than one case involving driving under the influence.

Local actress tells her COVID story at Benchmark Theatre

together in the last five months and the bulk of the writing in the last six weeks.

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Finishing Benchmark Theatre’s “aftermath” season of plays representing troubles in our society, from the Jan. 6 riots to abortion access, is Suzanne Nepi’s “The Covid Wife.” Opening Nov. 11, the play tells Nepi’s own true story of helping her husband, Mark Nepi, through his hospitalization due to COVID-19.

“I think, as artists, one of our jobs is to respond to the immediate situations,” said Art Director Neil Truglio.

With that, the theatre wanted to show the issues people have faced during the pandemic, even with it so fresh in mind.

“In some ways, it’s exactly the reason we’re doing it, we don’t want to wait three years to talk about the pandemic,” he said.

Nepi’s story takes place two years ago, with her husband being put on a ventilator the day after their 30th wedding anniversary. She explains that, at the time, people didn’t know many others with COVID-19, so she saw an opportunity to tell their story to inspire hope in others.

The process of creating the play started about six months after. According to Truglio, Nepi

submitted the idea for the play to the theatre as part of its program where community members can submit ideas to contribute to the theatre — be it design work or a play.

“It’s all been such uncharted waters. Even some of these playwrights in Denver that I’ve tapped some information and knowledge from, even they’ve never written a play that was their autobiography that they had to perform,” Nepi explained.

“I’m definitely being baptized by fire.”

Truglio said he and Nepi started working on the play immediately, with most of it coming

“It’s a real process of, every day, ‘how do we make these words better, activate it, visualize that content,’” Truglio said, adding that he’s been more of a partner with Nepi working on it.

The story being so close to home is a large motivator to Truglio for the theatre. Nepi is a local actress who has performed at the Cherry Creek Theatre, Aurora Fox Arts Center and Vintage Theatre among others and experienced what she’s writing about here in Denver.

“I feel all the time we see L.A. and New York having people telling their stories, and it’s so compelling and great, and we in Denver get to read about it. I think there’s something exciting to say we have great stories here too,” Truglio said.

As to performing these intimate memories and moments, Nepi said, “I’m sure I’m going to be a bit triggered, and to be quite frank, in the couple weeks we’ve been rehearsing, I had lines delivered to me that the doctors said during Mark’s time in the hospital.”

“Truth doesn’t always make for the best drama, so there is a push and pull on how do we make this sing on the stage while also staying true to how it happening, and that’s hard,” Truglio elaborated. He said the trick is finding a bal-

ance. “We could make it really, really great, but if it’s not truthful, it doesn’t work.”

“People just need some inspiration, and this is an inspiring tale,” Nepi finished. “And it has some tough moments, but I really hope people leave with hope.”

The show premieres Nov. 11 starring Tanis Joaquin Gonzales alongside Nepi, playing her husband and all the other characters of the play. Shows will run through Dec. 10 and are at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays with 2 p.m. Sunday matinees.

Coloradan organizing national Christmas ornament drive for Marshall Fire victims

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two years ago, Carolyn Nicolaysen rallied friends and family members to collect and donate homemade Christmas ornaments to families impacted by wildfires in Oregon, where her daughter lives.

Since then, Nicolaysen founded the Facebook group Operation Christmas Ornaments From Near and Far, and this year is collecting ornaments from folks across the country to donate to victims of the Marshall Fire.

The group accepts handmade ornaments from across the country and beyond — they received one donation from Japan this year — and organizes them into dozen-each sets before working with local organizations to distribute the ornaments to affected families.

Carol Burton, a Colorado resident, is heading up the local charge to get ornaments to Marshall Fire victims this year, and said that she and Nicolaysen found that the sentimental value of Christmas ornaments makes losing them in a natural disaster especially painful.

“From with talking to people, one of the things people really missed after a disaster were their Christmas ornaments and all of the memories tied up in those,” Burton said.

The group – which now contains

over 700 members — had a goal to collect 6,000 ornaments for 500 families impacted by the Marshall Fires.

On Oct. 27, Nicolaysen posted to say that reached their goal for the year, but are still accepting donations of ornaments for Marshall Fire victims and victims of other tragedies, including the tornadoes that damaged parts of Kentucky last year.

Folks interested in donating or receiving Christmas ornaments can join the group by searching ‘Operation Christmas Ornaments from Near and Far’ on Facebook.

‘The nation’s report card’ shows big declines in math in Colorado

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado students posted the lowest scores in more than a decade on the test known as “the nation’s report card,” with the steepest declines in middle school math and with Hispanic students losing the most ground. And while Colorado students posted better reading scores than did students in 27 other states, that was largely because other states lost even more ground.

The learning loss from 2019 to 2022 on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known

as NAEP, points to the devastating impact the pandemic has had on the education of children in almost every pocket of Colorado and the nation.

While research has already shown that academic progress reversed, NAEP results released Monday provide the most detailed and authoritative accounting yet, with data coming from a representative set of students nationwide and allowing for comparisons across states and some cities.

“The results are appalling and unacceptable,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said. “This is a moment of truth. How we respond will determine our standing in the world.”

This year’s results reaffirm what Colorado education leaders and teachers already knew thanks to statewide assessments: Students fell behind.

But parents, teachers, and students are working hard to rebound, said Joyce Zurkowski, Colorado Department of Education chief assessment officer.

“There are some indications that things are on the way back up,” she said. “But there’s work to do.”

What is NAEP?

About 10 student groups, including Sources of Strength and Girls Global Outreach, hosted stations along the trick-or-treat street.

Adam Mitchell, Student Council adviser, said the school has hosted the event for at least 12 years, although it’s been suspended on a few occasions because of poor weather or pandemic restrictions.

After the doors opened at 5 p.m. and families began streaming through, Sophomore Class President Noa Morgan said organizers were expecting about 1,000 visitors. Most come from local elementary schools, so future Demons can get an idea of what clubs

and teams the school has.

The event also provides locals an opportunity to trick-or-treat safely indoors, as some might not have that opportunity on Halloween night.

Plus, Morgan said, it’s a fun memory for local students to have at Golden High School even before they enroll. She said several of her friends remember participating in the trickor-treat street as children.

Among the local children surveying their future high school for the first time were 5-year-old Cora and 1-yearold Mae, both dressed as foxes.

Dad Evan Macfarlane brought his two children to their first GHS trickor-treat street after they read about it in a city publication. He appreciated how it was on a night other than Oct. 31, so the family can still do traditional trick-or-treating on Halloween.

He thanked all the GHS students for putting the event together, saying he and his daughters enjoyed seeing everyone’s costumes and accumulating sweets.

For as much fun as youngsters were having collecting candy, GHS students were having just as much fun passing it out.

At the Girls Global Outreach station, sophomores Angela SanchezMunoz and Presley Kirkpatrick — dressed as Buzz Lightyear and Woody from “Toy Story,” respectively — were participating in their first trick-ortreat street.

They were enjoying seeing all the visitors’ costumes, especially fellow “Toy Story” characters. The two described signing up because they wanted to help the community and get into the Halloween spirit.

TESTING

and reading skills in fourth and eighth grades roughly every two years among a random sampling of students — about 450,000 students in 10,000 schools in 2022. The adm-inistrators break down scores by state and for select cities that vary with each test.

Denver was one of 26 urban districts that NAEP sampled last winter. Outside of those cities, NAEP does not issue district scores.

Unlike state exams, the NAEP tests are low stakes for students, teachers, and schools. But the NAEP test offers a valuable look at the progress of the nation.

“We knew results would reflect historic disruptions to schools,” said Peggy Carr, commissioner of the National Center for Educa tion Statistics, which organizes the test. “NAEP results should give us all pause. They also re mind us how essential schools are for our children and families.”

Colorado dip in math skills

The Colorado Measure of Academic Success, or CMAS, standardized tests show students recovering ground from 2021 but still below pre pandemic levels in most cases. Similar to NAEP, the state’s test scores show particu larly concerning drops in middle school math scores and draw attention to the impacts on stu dents who transitioned to more complex material in a highly disrupted environment.

NAEP shows fourth grade Colo rado math scores declined steeply. Proficiency dropped by one quar ter, from about 44% of students in 2019 to 36% of students this year. Eighth grade math proficiency fell by about the same proportion, from 37% of students in 2019 to 28% this year.

Colorado reading skills did not decline as much. On the fourth grade test, 38% of students tested proficient, down from 40% in 2019. In eighth grade, 34% of stu dents tested proficient, compared with 38% in 2019.

In Denver, reading scores declined similarly. Fourth grade proficiency scores fell from 32% to 29%, and eighth grade scores fell from 29% to 28% — which may not be statistically signifi cant — from 2019.

Denver fourth grade math proficiency dipped from 35% of students in 2019 to 28% this year. Eighth grade proficiency also fell, from 29% in 2019 to 22% of students this year.

In both Colorado and Denver, Hispanic students experienced greater declines in most grades and subjects than did other student groups. The pandemic pummeled Colorado’s Hispanic families, who have suffered higher death rates and more job losses. An estimated two thirds of Colorado children without internet access are Hispanic, and many of them had parents work ing essential jobs and who could not stay home with them.

Zurkowski said learning gaps among Hispanics remain an area of “significant concern.” The

state has some of the largest gaps in the nation between Hispanic and white students.

Students faced many challenges during COVID

The pandemic imposed hard ships and barriers to student learning: switches between remote and hybrid classes, quarantines and other disrup tions, spotty internet access, and general instability. Students also experienced major stressors, like parents losing jobs and caregiv ers falling ill and dying.

Melissa Snyder, a Cherry Creek School District fourth grade teacher, said student absenteeism has soared since the start of the pandemic.

“There’s a lot of pieces to the puzzle,” said Snyder, who teaches at Pine Ridge Elementary. “Ev erything with COVID is so much more complex.”

Lorelei Jackson, a Denver Lan guage School eighth grade math teacher, said teachers had to choose which lessons to teach and students are missing skills they would normally have learned.

“We wanted to make sure that we were focusing on what was going to be the most impactful for students,” she said. And now, “we’re seeing those gaps.”

A Chalkbeat analysis found mixed evidence on the link between remote learning and changes in state test scores, with some correlation in math and fourth grade reading but none in eighth grade reading. More granular research has shown that students who experienced more virtual learning tended to fall further behind.

The Colorado education depart ment didn’t require districts to report changes in learning mode, which sometimes varied weekly, but its staff did try to track who was in person, remote, or hy brid using district websites and Facebook pages. Using state data, the COVID 19 School Data Hub estimates that Colorado students on average spent 28% of their time learning in person during the 2020 21 school year.

Less-obvious signs point to possible COVID-19 upsurge

Omicron-targeted vaccines are available

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The omicron variant is causing milder illnesses than earlier variants of COVID-19, but Elizabeth Carlton implores Coloradans not to underestimate it.

“It still killed a lot of people,” said Carlton, an associate professor at the Colorado School of Public Health. “So it’s no joke.”

Coronavirus data watchers see signs of a possible upswing in COVID-19 cases in the coming months and are working to minimize the impact of upswing on Colorado’s health care system by imploring residents to stay up to date on vaccinations and to take prudent measures to protect others if they become ill.

Reported COVID-19 cases plateaued in the past several weeks. There are less than 900 cases across the state, down from surges in excess of 3,000 cases in June and more than 20,000 in January.

Colorado is also far from the bed crises hospitals weathered during some of the worst months of the pandemic. In late October, roughly 3% of hospital beds were in use by coronavirus patients, according to Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment data.

But the numbers don’t tell the whole story, Carlton said.

“Reported cases are the tip of the iceberg,” Carlton said.

The percent of tests coming back positive has jumped up from around 5% in early October to about 9%.

And wastewater data from the Denver area also indicates the virus is more prevalent.

Carlton doesn’t know for sure what’s causing it, but after two years, pandemic restrictions have loosened everywhere. The way people “mix” with each other is different.

“Not just school, but all the ways people gather is probably closer to pre-pandemic levels than it has been before,” Carlton added.

Spikes have been tracked in the fall and it is unclear exactly why, she said. It could be that the colder weather leads people to gather more indoors. Or it could be due to changes in humans’ immune system at this time of year.

With flu cases typically rising around the same time of year, health officials are doubling down on their messaging about vaccines and haven’t ruled out that a more severe version of coronavirus can appear, as strains have in the past.

New shots can protect self, vulnerable Coloradans

Coronavirus vaccines don’t always stop the illness, but they may prevent a serious case that requires hospitalization. Vaccines also help protect people who cannot take the vaccine, like those who have imparied immune systems. Health officials recommend a mindset that minimizes risks for exposure to oneself and others.

“People who are at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 or who interact with people at higher risk should consider their individual risk, which may include taking additional precautions such as masking and avoiding crowded public spaces,” said a statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center.

People at high risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID include those older than 65, people who are medically obese or overweight, people with other medical issues.

For those who are infected, Paxlovid, an oral antiviral pill that targets COVID-19, is available.

Another form of treatment is “monoclonal antibodies,” which are given as infusions, either through an IV or through injections, like with a vaccine. They help a person’s immune system recognize and respond to the virus.

Enjoy a free museum night VOICES

Although Halloween has passed, there’s an event coming up that sounds like it should have been included as something associated with the occasion, but actually has nothing to do with it. In fact, it’s not even scary and doesn’t involve wearing a costume. No candy either. It’s part of the Denver Arts Week celebration and is the Free Night at the Museums that features two of our Golden museums at the top of the list of participants.

Yes, ever since they made those movies with similar names, the concept of a night at a museum took on a different kind of context, but I assure you things aren’t going to start coming to life and jumping out at you. It just means that they will be open later than usual, from 5-10 p.m. and the general admission is going to be free that night.

It’s happening Nov. 5 and includes Golden’s American Mountaineering Museum and Dinosaur Ridge. OK, I guess

technically Dinosaur Ridge is located in Morrison, but…hey, close enough, right?

So, starting with the first one, its full name is actually the Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum and it’s located in the American Mountaineering Center on the corner of 10th Street and Washington Avenue in Downtown Golden. Yes, it’s American, about mountaineering and I think I’ve mentioned that three times already. Ok, four times so far. I’ll probably mention those words a few more times, just to make sure you don’t miss it.

The place opened its doors in February 2008 as America’s first and only museum dedicated to the heroism, technology, culture and spirit of mountaineering. From the story of the 10th Mountain Division to the daring first ascent of Mount Everest, you can learn about Mountaineering’s exciting history and meet larger-than-life figures and modern-day heroes who have brought the challenge to where it is today. So, in a nutshell, it features a lot of crazy and insane people. At least that’s my perspective of someone who hangs off the side of a cliff by their fingertips or dangles off one in a blizzard at 20,000 feet by a single

rope. But I may be in the minority around here with that opinion. It’s still pretty fascinating to see what people can accomplish.

This unique facility allows visitors to live the ascent of the world’s most inspiring mountains through educational displays, interactive exhibits, breathtaking photos and climbers personal stories. You can even jump a crevasse, hang out in a port-a-ledge and find your route up Mt. Everest. Ok, maybe I was wrong about the not being scary part. Port-a-ledge? What the heck is that? I guess I’ll have to go check it out to find out.

Anyway, if you want to experience the thrills without the chills of, here’s that word again, mountaineering, you can do so for free this Saturday night.

OK, well strike two on my assessment of these events not being kind of scary is the place that reminds us that millions of years ago giant reptiles with huge teeth, large enough to swallow you whole, used to roam around the neighborhood in abundance. Yes, if it wasn’t for one random asteroid or meteor or whatever it was that hit the earth and wiped them out, we might have to worry about a brontosaurus blocking traffic on Highway 6 instead of just a deer

crossing. Let your imagination run wild with that thought for a just a minute.

You can find out a lot more about that and see the evidence of what used to hang out in what is now your backyard by going to Dinosaur Ridge. That’s located at 16831 W Alameda Parkway in Morrison.

This is an outdoor museum and a visitor center where important dinosaur discoveries were made in the late 1800s. You can see Stegosaurus bones plus Iguanodon tracks and ripple marks preserved in this unique outdoor setting. On Saturday night you can enjoy free entry to the Exhibit Hall but for $6 you can shuttle up the Ridge to view dinosaur tracks by flashlight or headlamp as a tour guide talks about the creatures that made those footprints 100 million years ago. Then just be happy those things aren’t going to start coming back to life while you stand there in the dark!

Change Makers helps older adults explore what’s next

Most people think of college as a place to go at the beginning of your career. The University of Colorado-Denver is reimagining higher education as a place for people at the end of their primary working years as well.

Marks

A new CUDenver program called Change Makers, launching in January, will bring experienced professionals who are approaching or already in retirement back to college for a semester to explore possibilities, retool and renew their purpose.

Midlife is filled with transitions, not all of them easy. The good news is that at this stage of life, people’s experience, skills and wisdom have never been greater — or more needed in the world.

New options for a new life stage

Longer lifespans due to health advances in the last century have led sociologists to define a whole new life stage — an average extra 30 years after the family-raising, professionbuilding years. Yet careers are often still expected to end when people are in their 60s, with ripple effects on those in their 50s.

Choices at this stage have traditionally been full-time work or full-time leisure. But many people are now looking at retirement differently than previous generations did. They want something in between.

Some need to continue earning a salary to support longer lifespans. Others are interested in staying engaged, and in giving back to their communities. Surveys indicate a strong desire among people over 50 for continued meaningful engagement. This represents a huge un-

tapped resource for our community.

Here is where higher education is beginning to step in. The CU-Denver Change Makers program is based on the success of similar programs in other states. Unlike traditional programs for older adults that focus on learning new work skills or dabbling in a topic of intellectual interest, these programs are focused specifically on helping older adults transition well from one life stage to a new one that includes purpose and impact.

First class starts in January

Change Makers’ inaugural class will begin in January and continue through April. The four-month program will be held in a hybrid inperson/online format, meeting twice each week. The instructor, who has decades of experience leading programs for older adults in transition, will lead discussions on navigating

transition and thinking differently about the next stage. In a tailored seminar series, participants will hear from experts on issues relating to aging and retirement. And with opportunities to audit CU-Denver classes and an optional applied internship in a nonprofit or social enterprise, fellows will explore areas of interest and growth and develop a plan for using their wisdom in a new, fulling context.

The goal of Change Makers is to make change — in the participants themselves and in their communities.

Universities do this with younger students all the time. Why not later in life as well?

When no home is a ordable, where do you live?

It’s a common story: Candace McNatt of Durango, in southern Colorado, kept losing bidding wars to buy a house. She finally settled on a tiny home of just 350 square feet. McNatt works as an operating room nurse and is a single mother of two teenagers, one about to go to college.

WRITERS ON THE RANGE

Though she landed on the home ownership ladder at one of its lower rungs, she’s relieved. “But this is not how I saw myself approaching the age of 40,” she muses.

The rent on her home lot is $650; her mortgage just $604. Combined, that’s about half of what she had been paying to rent an apartment in Durango.

These days, real estate prices in Durango, as in so many Western towns, have outrun most workers’ ability to buy or even rent modest digs. McNatt, for example, makes $85,000 annually, which places her at over 90% of the area median income in Durango.

A two-year-old study by Root Policy, a Denver consulting firm, showed that single- and two-parent households have begun leaving Durango and southwestern Colorado in droves. Replacing them are retirees and wealthy non-working people. That means businesses struggle to find workers as 80% of people moving into La Plata County don’t work in the region.

Adding to the housing crisis is the boom in short-term rentals, compounded by second-home owners snatching up houses once rented to students at the local Fort Lewis College. Fort Lewis has been scrambling for housing. Starting in 2019, demand for on-campus living skyrocketed, and this August, the college of 3,856 students placed 93 kids in hotel rooms. Thirty more were quadruplebunked in off-off-campus apartments.

The town thrums with stories of scores of students living in cars and scouting for “safe parking,” meaning places where police won’t roust them out. Others camp out on public lands.

The city of Durango, population 19,400, has tried to help by limiting short-term rentals within city limits, and hiring housing expert Eva Henson to figure out how to create workforce housing.

At a Durango council meeting last month, Henson said that only 169 housing units are under construction, while a thousand more are planned. Finished units for the first nine months of 2022 totaled 59.

Meanwhile, a ballyhooed Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulation, which would allow homeowners to add “granny flats,” fizzled. Just two were completed this year, and potential builders complain that restrictions remain tight.

According to the Root Policy study, Southwestern Colorado’s overall housing deficit is 2,500 housing units. “Every town is short on housing,” agrees Nicole Killian, a community development director for the Durango bedroom community of Bayfield. Killian says developers plan to build 800 homes over the next decade, a 75% increase in housing units.

What everyone can agree on is that the area’s housing shortage began in Durango, the biggest and most attractive town, then radiated out to every other town within 50 miles.

“Durango has had a sales tax that funded parks and recreation,” says Mayor Barbara Noseworthy. “Now we need to redirect some of that money toward housing.” But the council is divided, with some members favoring a free market approach.

So far, the free market wants only million-dollar homes. McNatt tells the story of two clinical experts at the hospital, each making $160,000, who “have looked for a house forever. And he’s like, I refuse to pay $1 million for a house.” In the end, “they paid over $1 million and are now house poor.”

One result of the housing crunch, says Mayor Noseworthy, is finding people for essential jobs: “We have difficulty getting math teachers. If you can’t get a high school math teacher, who’s going to live here?”

Meanwhile, one housing solution in Durango has been Chris Hall’s Hermosa Orchards Village of 22 tiny owner-occupied homes, a gem of collegiality. Many of its residents commute to Purgatory Ski Area or Silverton seasonally, and given their small inside spaces, tend to congregate outside on their stoops.

On Nov. 8, there is hope for affordable housing, thanks to Proposition 123 on the ballot. The measure would give grants and loans to local nonprofits to build workforce housing, and provide mortgage assistance to people like McNatt.

At the end of my interview with McNatt, she took me to meet a friend who lives in a storage unit. The boxlike space was narrow, his sleeping bag on a foam pad just fitting between a snow blower and a leaf blower. He said he was glad he’d found it.

On Sept. 4, Chileans across the world anxiously checked their social media feeds and Whatsapp group chats, wondering about the future of their country. Would Chile adopt a new constitution?

The answer fl ashed across their phone screens that evening. In an overwhelming referendum result, about 62% of the population of Chile voted to reject what would have been one of the most progressive constitutions in the world.

In Santiago, supporters of the new constitution comforted each other in sadness while those who opposed it waved celebratory fl ags in the streets.

Meanwhile, Chileans in Colorado mourned and celebrated from over 5,000 miles away.

Pame Bradford, who works in Fort Collins Public Schools, was happy voters rejected the draft. An Aurora-based artist named Adolfo Romero, on the other hand, said the result felt like a deep blow to his heart.

Considering their opposing views on one of the most pivotal referendums in Chile’s democratic history, it may come as a surprise that Romero and Bradford are siblings.

Although they grew up under the same roof, the two Colorado-based Chileans have different opinions on what will cure their country’s ailments going forward.

From Chile to Colorado

When Romero was in high school and Bradford had recently fi nished, their family moved from Arica, a city in northern Chile, to the capital of Santiago.

Attending high school in Santiago among politically active peers was

a formative experience for Romero.

Although he does not identify with a particular party, he said his political beliefs are left-leaning.

Bradford, on the other hand, was she focused on “things with disci-

less interested in politics. She said she focused on “things with discipline” growing up, such as sports and martial arts.

When she was 25 years old, Bradford moved to the U.S.

“It might be kind of cheesy, but I moved because I felt that I was going to fi nd love here,” she said. “I actually did fi nd it.”

After traveling for a few years, she met her husband and settled down in his home state of Colorado. In 2008, her parents moved to the U.S. Romero followed suit in 2014 to be

The social explosion

Both Bradford and Romero watched from afar.

This was the beginning of a nationwide sociopolitical movement referred to as the “ estallido social ” or the “social explosion.”

For months, protesters demanded changes in economic and social policies that

had been in place since the country’s military dictatorship, which ended in 1990.

The estallido was a frightening time for some Chileans. Bradford said she was concerned as protesters burned metro stations and destroyed private property.

“I was really distraught… I mean, we are really connected to the country and when you see bad things happening, it affects you here,” she said.

“I know we could have come up with better ways to do it… the reasons might be good, but not the way it was

presented.”

Romero, unlike his sister, said he was hopeful when the demonstrations began. After being involved in community movements for most of his life, it felt like his country was fi nally awakening to its problems.

“One of the conversations that I used to have with my friends was, ‘Damn, when are the people gonna be awake? When are the people gonna react to these conditions in this country?’” he said. “Finally, it happened in 2019.”

Although he wishes political change were achievable through “just talking,” Romero said it’s sometimes necessary for people to take to the streets.

But Chileans who went to the streets were met with excessive force from police, according to the Human Rights Watch. From Oct. 18 to Nov. 20, in 2019 almost 9,000 protesters and bystanders were injured and 26 people died, according to the organization.

For Romero, the police response to the protests was the most tragic part of the situation.

“It was very sad… to see how many people got injured… by the police,” he said. “I felt very powerless.”

The road to referendum

The demonstrations during the social movement of 2019-2020 covered a wide range of issues, including wages, social security, water rights, education, healthcare, environmental concerns, gender inequality, indigenous rights and more.

As the movement continued, protesters started turning their attention toward a document that could address all of these problems at once: the constitution.

“That was the core of everything. That is the core that supports the model, that holds the entire system,” Romero said. “So when (the protestors) chose that point, it to me was fi nally the right pathway to get a change.”

Chile’s current constitution was written in 1980 under military dictator Augusto Pinochet, who held power from 1973 until 1990. After ousting socialist President Salvador Allende in a U.S.-supported coup d’etat, Pinochet implemented vast neoliberal economic reforms.

Under Pinochet, the availability and affordability of health care, social security, education and even water were largely driven by the free market. The 1980 constitution, despite modern amendments, maintains a role for private sectors for these services.

These neoliberal decisions bolstered Chile’s economy but did so at the expense of extensive human rights abuses during the dictatorship. More than 3,000 people were killed or “disappeared” under Pinochet’s regime and over 27,000 more were victims of torture, according to Chilean commission reports.

Still, some applaud the dictator for the economic growth during his reign. Others condemn his human rights abuses and point to his

Protestors in Santiago filled the central plaza to call for change. Formerly known as Plaza Italia, the space was renamed “Plaza de la dignidad” or “Dignity Plaza” during the social movement of 2019.

economic policies as the root of Chile’s devastating inequality.

About a month after the protests began, then-President Sebastián Piñera agreed to hold a nationwide referendum to vote on the possibil ity of rewriting the dictatorship-era constitution. On Oct. 25, 2020, 78% of voting Chileans approved the deci sion to rewrite a new charter.

Voters also determined that a convention of elected citizens would draft the new document. In a global first, the constitutional body was required to have gender parity. In addition, 17 seats were reserved for indigenous populations, according to the National Library of Congress of Chile.

In May 2021, voters elected a consti tutional convention made up of 67% independent candidates, many of them part of left-leaning movements, according to Universidad de Chile professor Claudia Heiss.

The nontraditional makeup of the body gave some Chileans hope when the process began, but polls showed a decrease in voter confidence in the convention as time went on.

After one year of the convention’s work, the draft faced its fate in a ref erendum in which all Chileans were required to vote. The earlier votes in the constitutional process had been voluntary.

According to the Chilean Electoral Service, Chileans abroad voted to ap prove the draft but the overall popu lation overwhelmingly rejected it.

Both Bradford and Romero would

have had to travel to another state to vote, so neither was able to cast a ballot due to logistics.

The draft

“Chile is a social and democratic state of law,” started the new consti tutional draft. “It is ‘plurinacional,’ intercultural, regional and ecologi cal.”

The 388-article charter included universal health care and rights to education, housing, pensions and wa ter. Along with vast environmental protections, it implemented gender parity rules for governing bodies. It also restructured the country’s legis lative model and established paral lel justice systems for indigenous groups.

Supporters of the document praised its progressive character

while opponents stressed the farreaching and unachievable nature of the constitution’s goals. Some opponents wanted to keep the 1980 version. Others said they desired a new constitution, just not this one.

In Bradford’s opinion, the mem bers of the convention tried to take on too many topics.

“I do agree with some changes for the environment and things like that. But I think this proposal was covering way too many things and it became unreliable — people realized that,” she said.

But Bradford’s biggest concern about the new constitution was that it did not address what she sees as Chile’s main issues. Specifically, Bradford said she was concerned about danger and crime in Chile, which she attributed to a lack of control over immigration.

“I still have all my extended family members (in Chile) and I hear every day what they’re suffering. And those real issues are not getting ad dressed,” she said.

She also opposed the idea of mak ing the state “plurinacional,” which means recognizing the coexistence of multiple national groups within a country.

“We are a united country there. I don’t believe that we should start calling each other something differ ent,” she said.

For Romero, identifying the coun try as such was one of the biggest strengths of the draft. He said it was important to recognize indigenous nations.

“When we talk about ‘plurinaciona lidad,’ we are talking about the rec ognition of their territory and their

cultural autonomy, and that they are asking for the right to organize themselves in some way,” he said. “For me, that’s good. It’s the mini mum that can be offered after years of colonization — the minimum.”

Romero also applauded the draft’s inclusion of rights to healthcare and education.

“The right to health care exists in various countries, and it works well,” Romero said. “It’s the same with the right to education… The people ignore it because they simply haven’t lived (that) reality.”

Romero added that he thinks many people who voted against the new draft were influenced by misinforma tion campaigns about its contents. Bradford said she knew people who read the draft itself and still rejected it.

Delightful di erences

For Bradford, the new constitution was not the right move for Chile. But in Romero’s eyes, there is still hope for a new constitution in the future.

“The process isn’t over in Chile,” he said. “It’s a battle that was lost, but the people are going to continue fighting.”

Despite their differences, Romero and Bradford say they are close. Add ing their parents, younger sister and extended family into the mix, they are surrounded by a wide range of political opinions.

“We tease each other, we laugh, but we know we’re not gonna change our views — and we don’t want to change our views,” Bradford said. “We ac cept each other how we are and we love each other regardless.”

She compared their political dif ferences to other differences she and her siblings have, such as the ways they like to relax and their tastes in music.

“You put priorities in life and fam ily’s the first priority. Love — love for your family,” she said.

According to Romero, his family’s differences represent the diversity that should exist in a healthy society.

“If I expect that all my friends think exactly the same as me, it will be me (who is) the problem,” he said.

Even when an entire new constitu tion is on the line, he says differences are valuable.

“This is the base of a society, what society should be,” he said. “It’s a plus when you have a difference.”

For many people, college leads to all kinds of new starts. For Tess Condron, Rylee Dunn and Emma Troughton, their time at the University of Denver led to the formation of the indie rock trio Blankslate, which just released its debut album, “Summer on a Salt Flat.”

The group, which features Condron on drums and keys, Dunn on guitar and bass and Troughton on vocals, fine-tuned the songs at gigs around Colorado and beyond, according to provided information.

In anticipation of the album’s release, Blansklate answered some questions about their backstory, making a record and more. Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

-Tell me a little about the genesis of Blankslate?

ET: Tess moved her electric drum kit into Rylee’s room in this chaotic frat house setting that had been turned into a live space for transfer students. Rylee obliged and suddenly they were met with the realization that they needed a vocalist. They texted our transfer living community group chat and I presented them with my vocals. Then we found a storage closet in the basement and did covers, and over time started honing in on a certain sound, and with much repetition;

the genesis.

Blankslate looks ahead with ‘Summer on a Salt Flat’ COMING ATTRACTIONS

-What was it like writing your debut album? I found that in order to write these songs, I had to ignore the album concept a bit. I wrote them all completely differently, and for the most part completely irrespective of each other. There are some exceptions; “Little Love” and “a fragile thing” are intended to be twins of sorts, “Creative-Nonfiction,” “if this is Monterey…,” and “2301 S. High Street,” are essentially three parts of the same story, and “Seacliff,” is a sister song to “Westcliff,” which we released in 2019. But they all had really unique writing processes, and the ones that are “related” grew closer as they developed.

-Where was the album recorded and what was the process like?

TC: The writing process is so stripped-down that it’s hard to expect what the studio will do to a song, so it ends up kind of doing something different to every song. The album was recorded with Tyler Imbrogno of Eldren at Daymoon Studios over the course of 14 months. I can’t imagine a

project that has ever been more exhausting and rewarding at the same time.

RD: Performing in a studio brings a certain level of perfectionism and it can be hard to stay loose and play with feel in there, which I think was an area where we all grew a lot throughout the process. I’ve loved honing our live sound as we wrote these songs; all the iterations feel like they bring a lot of different dimensions to each song.

-Does the album have a particular theme or idea that you wanted explore over its tracks?

ET: It very much feels like the expanse of the album runs parallel to a lifespan.

TC: This album is designed to be relatable and an aspect of something being relatable is about its ability to go into detail. This album feels like it is about a specific time in someone’s life, but the details are different for every listener.

RD: I think there’s an idea of changing the ground you’re on and feeling mostly the same. All of the songs are set in really specific places, but the sentiment contained in them has common threads.

-All three members of Blankslate identify as queer - does releasing this album have any special meaning at a time

when LGBTQ+ rights are under constant attack?

ET: A lot of the representation for queer people in most scenes, including music, is very onebrand, linear, archetypal, so it always feels really exciting to plant new seeds of iterations of queerness and how that can exist.

TC: The fact that queer bands these days don’t need to exist only at queer spaces. We show up at a lot of heteronormative shows and don’t really feel out of place. It’s more of a broad reach compared to how it maybe used to be, and that feels like a really cool way to provide representation.

-What do you hope album listeners come away with?

TC: I hope the album offers a comfort for people. The best thing ever that could come out of this album is if people create their own stories out of it that they can come back to and feel themselves in.

First Friday Five Points Jazz Hop keeps the music alive

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dzirae Gold remembers hearing about Denver’s Five Points and its bustling jazz scene when she was growing up in Chicagoland.

“It was the Harlem of the West (and) all of the great jazz musicians came here — particularly Black musicians because they couldn’t stay elsewhere,” Gold said. “Five Points (became) a safe haven and hub for jazz music.”

The 27-year-old vocalist finally got a chance to experience Five Points when she moved to Denver just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Even though she had been performing her entire life, it was a strange time to come to the city and dedicate herself to music full time, with many venues closing because of health lockdowns.

Gold put on virtual concerts and built an online audience.

“They say no musician blows up overnight, even though it looks like it,” Gold said. “I consider myself a forever student. For me, it’s happening at just the right pace.”

Gold now performs across the city and is looking for-

ward to headlining a First Friday Five Points Jazz Hop for the first time.

“This once-a-month event honors the jazz tradition,” Gold said.

Norman Harris, founder of Mile High Festivals, is one of the events’ organizers.

“The energy you get from having a live band is nonreplicable,” Harris said. “There’s a swing and a groove that naturally happens in a live-music setting.”

The monthly jazz hops are a collaborative effort of Harris’ organization, the Five Points Business Improvement District, the Heart of Five Points, Curtis Park Neighbors and various sponsors. The hops start at 5:30 p.m. the first Friday of every month and take place at various venues through the neighborhood. They feature several musical performances with staggered start times to allow attendees to see each

one. The jazz hops usually wrap up around 9 p.m., but businesses remain open afterwards, Harris said.

“There’s just general activity in Five Points,” Harris said. “Jazz music is a strong foundation to bring people to the neighborhood.”

Looking for a way to drive traffic to the Welton Street corridor, Harris’ organization was awarded a grant from Denver Arts & Venues.

The hops were wildly popular when they began in January of 2020. But only two months later, COVID-19 forced a hiatus until January of 2021, when they were revived outdoors at Sonny Lawson Park. When gathering restrictions eventually eased and venues opened their doors again, jazz hops returned to club settings and now happen at a mix of indoor and outdoor settings.

All of the musicians are local, Harris said. And while jazz is the founda-

tion for the music, the hops allow for creative freedom.

Some of the acts may incorporate other elements, like a DJ or spoken-word artist, Harris said.

Gold specializes in R&B and soul and also classic jazz. She will perform at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 at Spangalang Brewery, 2736 Welton St. She will be joined by Isaiah Relf on drums, Will Gaines on bass and Bharat Bhar-

Though she is headlining a jazz hop for the fi rst time, Gold is a dedicated attendee.

“You will not be disappointed in the atmosphere,” Gold said. “It’s just a good time.”

Harris invites everyone to come and see what the fuss is about.

“Jazz is a beautiful art form,” he said. “The vibration you get from jazz music is incredible. At the heart of it, we’re putting forward some genuine and authentic performances that people can experience and that drives the performers to give us their best.”

Teachers across the metro area describe pay rates

Douglas County looks to voters for 9% bump

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lucy Squire just marked her 18th year as a teacher at Copper Mesa Elementary School in Douglas County. One of the things she has that many teachers here and around Colorado don’t is a home.

Squire looks at what Douglas County School District teachers earn and doubts she and her partner today could afford the same home. That’s even considering her current salary as a veteran educator.

“When I started interviewing and looking as a brand new teacher, all of the (school) districts were so comparable with pay,” said Squire, a third-grade teacher. “It didn’t matter where you ended up because they were so similar.”

That was in 2004. Fast forward to today, and differences in teacher pay across Denver metro school districts are often stark.

While teachers in many districts across the state say they are struggling to keep up — particularly amid rising inflation — in Douglas County, south of Denver, teachers say voters have an opportunity to help them.

Squire and others are supporting Ballot Issue 5A on the November

Dear Davis Schilken,

My husband and I have been fortunate enough to have the ability to give parts of our estate away. We have been able to help our children and grandchildren with college tuition and books. Our family is now constantly growing with new in laws and even more grandbabies! What are some other ways that we can help our family?

Sincerely, Gifting Gretchen

Dear Gifting Gretchen,

We are elated to hear that you and your family are so generous with one another! There are few things as assuring as a family that is always supportive and helpful, regardless of the scenario. In your case, there are a few ways to help family members with things like buying a new home, helping with higher education, or even “gap year” experiences. First, what is a gift? A gift is any transfer to an individual, either directly or indirectly, where full consideration (measured in money or money’s worth) is not received in return. Its important we define what a “gift” is in the Estate and Tax planning world.

One of the easiest and most efficient ways to achieve this goal is by Lifetime Gifting. This might include gifts to spouses, children, political or religious institutions, and tuition. One of the most common ways to do this without triggering a tax implication is by utilizing the Annual Gift Exclusion. This exclusion is a defined dollar value that increases every year with inflation.

For 2022, the Annual Gift Exclusion amount is $16,000. This will increase to $17,000 for 2023. A gift of that amount, or below it, can be made by a single individual to an individual once a year, but to as many individuals as you would like.

What that means is that Gretchen can give a single gift of up to $17,000 without triggering a tax implication to her grandson Jimmy. She can only do this once a year for Jimmy. However, she can do that once a year for any number of individuals. If you have any questions regarding gifting or any of your other estate planning needs, please contact the Davis Schilken, PC team (303)670-9855. We make estate planning simple!

A new chapter: Coming to terms with a gruesome legacy

BY ALEXIS KIKOEN, JEREMY MOORE, MARK HARDEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

A book once revered by white people and put on proud display at a Denver seminary later became an object of such shame and bitterness that it has taken its custodians decades to come to terms with it.

The book is a history of Christianity in Latin, published in 1752. At some point, the volume acquired a grotesque cover — the flayed, tanned skin of a murdered Native American.

For 129 years, the book has been kept at the Iliff School of Theology, affiliated with the United Methodist Church, a school that describes itself as being “recognized nationally and internationally for its emphasis on peace, justice, and ethics.” Its alumni include ministers, chaplains, scholars and political leaders across the country.

In 1893, a Methodist minister presented the book as a gift to the then-new school on the University of Denver campus. For decades, the book was displayed in a glass case at the entrance to Iliff’s library.

“It’s deeply ironic that they would cover that book of Christian history with human skin taken from a murder victim, … an Indian,” George “Tink” Tinker, professor emeritus of American Indian cultures at Iliff and a citizen of the Osage Nation (Wazhazhe), told Rocky Mountain PBS.

Tinker has written extensively about the book, its origins and its

significance. He said it was long regarded as “a trophy, as a sacred relic of triumph over Indians.”

Nearly 50 years ago, facing pressure from students and finally seeing the book as an embarrassment rather than a treasure, Iliff officials had the cover of human skin removed and took the book off display.

School leaders at the time wanted to silence the controversy, and swore to

secrecy those with knowledge of the situation.

Decades later, Iliff began to see things differently. “It was time for us to tell the truth about this book,” said Thomas Wolfe, the current school president and CEO.

Now the book and its gruesome history have spawned a gathering of cultures to share perspectives and search for a path forward. It’s a

journey that participants hope will lead to accountability and understanding.

Across the country, other colleges as well as museums and federal agencies are coming to terms with Native American remains and cultural artifacts they have long possessed, recently including Yale

CAG Thrift Store & Food Pantry

the temperatures drop and inflation continues to rise, the importance of the CAG Food Pantry is more important than ever. To provide the funding needed for the increase in food supplies and growing number of families seeking food assistance (60% increase) the CAG hosted their second “Shop for a Cause” on a beautiful October Saturday afternoon. Shoppers were able to buy good quality branded clothing donated by the Golden community while enjoying the bluegrass music of the Back Yard Grass band. The event generated more than $3,400 in operating funds that will be used to buy food to supply the food pantry. “With food prices increasing so much, the need for our pantry has been growing every month, and the proceeds of the boutique sale will make a huge impact in letting us serve more people and offer more types of food,” said Executive Director Kelly Ivan.

In addition to the shopping, guests enjoyed beverages provided by several local small businesses: Miners Saloon, Golden City Brewery and High Altitude Kombucha!

The CAG team is very appreciative of the many volunteers, sponsors and guests who made this fun afternoon a great success. Stay tuned for more exciting news about our Christmas Under the Tree event coming soon.

You never know what treasure you will find in our thrift store!!

ballot to boost pay for teachers and other district staff.

The district “is the largest em ployer in the county” and serves 64,000 students “yet continues to lag behind in total funding and com petitiveness in salary compared to other school districts,” according to a summary of written comments in favor of the proposed property tax increase outlined on the ballot.

While proponents say narrowing the pay gap will help the district compete for and retain teachers, staff and administrators, opponents worry about property taxes amid rising real estate prices. Douglas County real estate is expected to be “reappraised” upward in 2023, so property tax bills are expected to rise even if voters kill Issue 5A, ac cording to the comments against the proposal in Douglas County’s voter information booklet.

The Douglas County opponents’ views in the voter guide also specu late that: “More money spent on education does not buy better educa tion outcomes.”

Shannon Doering — an English teacher at Castle View High School who can’t afford to buy a house with her partner in the region — says if a district isn’t paying teachers well, it can’t expect to keep them, and that affects the quality of education.

“There are certainly worse-paying districts in the state, but in regards to the area, I’d definitely say Doug las County is known as one of the worst-paying districts,” Doering

said. “That’s not a secret.”

Addressing a gap

Despite the political divisiveness on Douglas County’s school board, its members unanimously support ed asking voters for the proposed tax increase.

Christa Gilstrap, a Highlands Ranch parent, helped organize sup port for the proposal.

“We’ve got people who support the new board and people who don’t support the new board com ing together to get this done,” said Gilstrap, adding that the issue has brought some Republicans and Dem ocrats in the community together.

Gilstrap, a lifelong registered Re publican, drives around with paint on her minivan’s back window not ing she’s a conservative who backs the proposal.

“The need in Douglas County School District is so great, it justi fies a tax increase,” Gilstrap said.

The impact of the tax increase would be $51 per year — about $1 per week — for every $100,000 in the assessed value of a home. For ex ample, a home worth $500,000 in as sessed value would pay $5 per week, or $255 per year. (“Assessed” value is the worth of a home for property tax purposes, as determined by the county assessor’s office.)

That translates to an estimated $60 million more in annual revenue for the district. Officials say the figure starts to close the pay gap with other school districts, including Cherry Creek in Arapahoe County.

Douglas County teacher pay, on av erage $57,900, is lower than nearby districts. Cherry Creek paid about $76,100; Littleton Public Schools

$68,700; Jefferson County Public Schools $62,600; and Boulder Valley School District $82,000.

The Douglas County district’s tax proposal comes close on the heels of a boost in pay for Jefferson County teachers. The Jeffco agreement in August raises the minimum salary to $50,000 and increases in salaries for various other pay grades and gives every educator a minimum of $3,000 more.

Pay problem a broader issue

Pay isn’t just contentious among the Denver-area school districts. It’s a statewide issue, according to the nonprofit Colorado School Finance Project.

“We’re one of, if not the, lowest in competitive teacher salaries compared to every other state,” said Tracie Rainey, the project’s execu tive director.

Research zeroes in on what’s known as a “wage penalty.” It tracks how much less public-school teach ers earn in weekly wages relative to their college-educated peers who didn’t become teachers.

Data from the Washington, D.C.based nonprofit Economic Policy Institute indicate that Colorado has the largest such gap in the nation. Teachers here earn, on average, 35.9% less than their college-educat ed, non-teacher peers.

Add to the equation that some school districts in Colorado collect more in taxes than others and it means some struggle to be competi tive in terms of pay, according to Rainey.

Douglas County hasn’t been as successful as other districts at pass ing funding proposals in elections, so “they don’t have the additional lo cal revenue and therefore will be on the lower side of pay,” Rainey said.

Not ‘just complaining’

Doering, the Castle View High educator, is in her fifth year of teaching. She said she doesn’t want “to be a millionaire.”

“I didn’t get into teaching to make (a lot) of money,” Doering said. “I want to be able to leave work and not have to think, ‘Hmm, am I going to have to get a second job in order to pay my rent, in order to buy a house, in order to start a family?’”

She doesn’t want to leave the district. If she does, it would be because of the relatively low pay.

Doering makes less than $50,000 per year.

“I love the kids I teach. It would re ally break my heart if I had to leave because of money,” Doering said.

The average teacher in the Doug las County School District is expect ed to get a 9% bump in pay if the tax proposal passes.

Squire, the third-grade teacher at Copper Mesa, said she took the year off when her first child was born but could not do so when she had a second child because of income needs.

“A lot of my teacher colleagues tutor on the side as a way to make money,” Squire said.

Squire makes roughly $70,000 a year. She hasn’t talked in specifics about how her pay compares with that of her friends in education in other Denver-area districts, but they’re aware of the sense there’s a gap.

“I have friends in Jeffco, Cherry Creek and Littleton … we just know that the joke is I work in Douglas County. It’s just become laughable,” Squire said.

Doering has felt defensive about pay at times. She wants people to know that teachers aren’t “just com plaining” about pay.

“This isn’t like some issue over curriculum. This isn’t an issue over admin or a decision a teacher made. This is my living,” Doering said.

“When you can’t afford to live someplace, something’s got to give,” she said.

‘The need in Douglas County School District is so great, it justifies a tax increase.’

Colorado health insurance rates set to rise

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Prices for people who buy health insurance on their own are set to increase next year in Colorado — but not quite by as much as initially proposed.

When insurers first filed rates with the state this summer, they requested an 11% increase in premium prices in the individual market, which is the category of the health insurance market that covers people who buy insurance without help from an employer. In finalized rates released Tuesday, that increase had dropped to 10.4%.

In the small group market, where small companies buy insurance for their employees, premium prices are set to increase by an average of 7.4%. Insurers had originally requested a 9.2% increase.

Regulators at the state’s Division of Insurance must approve premium rates each year for the two markets, after examining whether the proposed prices are

reasonably supported by the market circumstances. Most of the time, that results in the final rates being lower than those initially proposed, though sometimes it goes in the other direction if the division finds that the proposed rates are not sustainable.

“The rate review team worked their magic like they do every year,” Michael Conway, Colorado’s insurance commissioner, said in talking about the lower-thaninitially-proposed increases in the final rates.

Limiting increases by slimming down profits

One way regulators reduced the proposed increases is by targeting insurers’ profit margins. When companies file their proposed rates they have to include a breakdown of how they arrived at their figures — how much of the premium goes to paying for prescription drugs, how much for hospital care, how much for administrative costs, how much for profits, and so on.

Conway said regulators this year limited insurers to a 2% profit margin, which for some insurers brought down their overall increase.

“They worked on the profit

his rate-review team.

How much insurers are increasing their prices varies pretty widely. Kaiser Permanente, for instance, did not request a rate increase in the individual market,

by an average of 25.1%, which is actually more than the 24.2% increase initially proposed for the individual market. Cigna, Anthem and Rocky Mountain Health Plans all have increases that

For people in the individual market, though, these rates are not necessarily what they will

University, the University of Califor nia-Berkeley and the University of Kansas.

A 1990 law, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), lays out a process for the return of Native American remains and objects taken from tribal lands. The National Park Ser vice estimates that the remains of at least 108,000 native people are in the hands of non-tribal institutions, including colleges and museums.

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science, which has a large collec tion of Native American artifacts in its anthropology collections, says it “has returned numerous cultural items through NAGPRA. … The mu seum has consulted on all known Na tive American human remains in its collections and only curates human remains for which informed consent has been given by the individual or her/his family, kin, or community.”

A murder and a defiled body

Different stories about the Iliff book cover’s origins have been told over the centuries. According to Tinker and Loring Abeyta, an Iliff adjunct lecturer who is Tinker’s wife, the cover came from the defiled body of a member of the Lenape people, original inhabitants of parts of what is now the northeast United States.

In 1779, they wrote recently, a white farmer who was occupying Le nape land in western Virginia killed two native men “for the crime of walking across what he considered his own property.” They refute early accounts that described the killing as the result of a heroic fight with a “warrior.”

One of the Lenape men “had his skin flayed so that it could be some sort of a trophy or a treasure,” Abeyta told Rocky Mountain PBS. “And then … there was some deci sion made that it was a great idea to bind the book in the skin of this Lenape victim.”

Held by the farmer’s family, the book “evidently was enough of a treasure that it was … shown around and bragged about,” she said.

Eventually the book wound up in the hands of a Methodist minister, R.M. Barns, who had moved to Colo rado. Barns donated the book to Iliff in 1893, then in its second year.

For the next eight decades, Iliff

had the book on display in a glass case. A 1934 article about the book in the Rocky Mountain News described its cover as “finer than the finest vel lum” and praised the skin’s “smooth ness and texture equal [to] the finest parchment.” The article called the volume “one of the most treasured relics in the library of the Iliff School of Theology” and a “price less vestment for the teachings of brotherly love.”

In 1974, the book drew another kind of attention from some Iliff students, who protested the dis play. They also reached out to local American Indian Movement repre sentatives.

Jerry Campbell, then an assistant librarian at Iliff and later president of Claremont School of Theology and Claremont-Lincoln University, said he was given the task of sever ing the cover from the book with a blade so the skin could be turned over to the American Indian Move ment (AIM) for burial on native land.

“I remember thinking, ‘Good grief, this is the skin of a human being,’” Campbell told United Methodist News in an October 2020 article. “I just remember thinking this is a ter rible thing to have here and be kind of celebrating it.”

At the time, Iliff leaders decided to maintain silence about the book and its cover, asking AIM and others with knowledge of the situation to sign a non-disclosure agreement “in order to protect Iliff in terms of its fundraising potential,” Tinker said.

“That’s immoral and unethical,” Tinker said of the secrecy. “… Chris tians have two words for it that we don’t have in any Indian language. It was evil, and it was sinful.”

The school has stored the coverless book out of public view ever since.

‘Nobody will talk to you about this’

Tinker said he learned of the book in 1986, shortly after joining the Iliff faculty.

“One of my colleagues pulled me aside, and said, ‘Nobody will talk to you about this, but you need to know that this happened at Iliff’,” he said.

Tinker said he “almost left” Iliff af ter hearing about the book, “because it is so disturbing to an American Indian.”

Instead of leaving, he said, “I wait ed until everybody was in church on Sunday, ... and I went back in the building, and I smudged every nook and cranny I could.”

The school’s policy of secrecy about the book and its sordid past

changed after Wolfe, a United Meth odist pastor and elder, arrived as Iliff president in 2013.

Wolfe said he had learned about the book years before coming to Iliff, hearing talk about it at a 1996 United Methodist conference in Denver.

“Just the idea of a book covered with the skin of a Native American person was profoundly disturbing,” Wolfe told Rocky Mountain PBS. “You don’t have to be affiliated with the school to feel that. It’s part of a long history of violation of native peoples in this country.”

He said the book represents “not just one institution’s lack of un derstanding but [also] the whole nature of Christian domination that misplaced and murdered millions of native people.”

The cover may be gone, Tinker said, but that “doesn’t remove entirely the spirit of that Lenape murder victim from the book itself. Something needs to happen to that book. But Iliff shouldn’t do anything without talking to Lenape people.”

Tinker also advocated that Iliff look beyond the disposition of the book itself. “I really wanted to change the behavior of my white relatives,” he said.

‘Making things right for our ances tor’

And so Tinker and Wolfe asked Lenape elders to come to Denver and offer guidance. That led to two days of meetings in April that Rocky Mountain PBS was invited to observe. The elders also examined the book.

“Our big question is, what do we do with the book?” Wolfe said, “and the understanding was, we are pre paring ourselves to be guided.”

Among those on hand for the meet ings was Curtis Zunigha, co-founder of the Lenape Center, an arts and culture organization, and cultural director and a former chief of the Delaware Tribe. (Delaware is an other name for the Lenape people.)

“It’s important that the Iliff School at least listen to us and try to take steps in a new and better direction,” Zunigha told Rocky Mountain PBS. He said Iliff must recognize that by accepting the book in 1893 and knowing its origins, “they became complicit in the colonial domination and the racism” against natives.

Zunigha said that the spiritual force of the murdered Lenape man whose skin covered Iliff’s book re mains centuries after his death.

“The Lenape way of life was one of understanding that not only do we as humans have a living spirit, but that all of creation has a living spirit,” Zunigha said. “… The spirit endures beyond just the physical life.”

Another elder at the meetings was Patricia Noah, who said she reacted with “disgust and sadness and heart ache” when Zunigha told her about the Iliff book.

“I think that [murdered] man’s spirit got caught between this

physical world and the spiritual world,” she said. “He couldn’t get to the spiritual world because part of [him] was put on that book. Part of his spirit stayed there and was stuck there.”

Out of their Denver meetings, the Lenape delegation presented a “statement of guidance and direc tion” calling on Iliff to take a num ber of steps. Those steps include creating a display or memorial about the book, establishing “an In terpretive Center to educate Indians and non-Indians [on] the truths of American history as it pertains to the Indigenous nations,” funding an endowed professorship “filled by an American Indian activist scholar,” and enhancing curriculum.

“At such time as it is requested by the Lenape, the Elders will take pos session of the book,” the statement says.

Iliff leaders formally accepted the Lenape delegation’s recom mendations and offered their own document outlining “active steps” the school will take to meet them. Another in-person meeting with the Lenape elders is scheduled for April 2023 to review progress on the recommendations.

“The Board of Trustees and the leadership of Iliff School of Theol ogy and their successors support and commit to a permanent relation ship with the Lenape Elders and their successors toward building a new history and relationship in full recognition of Iliff’s history of pos session of the book of Christian his tory covered in the skin of a Lenape man,” the Iliff document says.

For now, the book will stay at Iliff. Said Zunigha: “The sense of response and commitment from Iliff will … inform and frame our attitude about taking possession of this book and making things right by that ancestor.”

Until the book is turned over, it “will remain in a secure and respect ful place within the President’s Office,” the Iliff response document said.

It’s clear that the process discussed in the talks will not be concluded overnight, and will need to be car ried forward by future Iliff adminis trations.

“This is going to be a commitment that this generation is making for this institution going forward in time,” Wolfe said.

F“Changing a worldview … hap pens over a lifetime, but it doesn’t happen until people start thinking a different way,” Tinker said. “That’s what I want, for Iliff and for all of my Euro-Christian relatives.”

Bigger comeback next year

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

It’s offi cial: E-bike hungry Denver residents burned through three years and $9 million of subsidies in just six months, and now we need to pause and think about what we’ve done.

Denver’s Offi ce of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency announced this week it will stop releasing new e-bike purchase vouchers for the rest of 2022. The planned $9 million bike program, paid for with the 2020 climate sales tax, has “put 4,401 e-bikes on the streets and trails of Denver,” according to city offi cials, and cut the price of the average bike in half.

After overwhelming demand for the rebates when the program fi rst launched earlier this year, Denver had hoped to stretch out spending and provide more frequent opportunities by putting out monthly batches of vouchers. More releases were scheduled for early November and December.

Instead, the rebates are coming to a halt while city offi cials decide how much additional money to

a 2023 relaunch. E-bike rebates were meant to be only one part of an initial $9 million in spending that also included rebates on home electrifi cation, including solar panels and heat pumps. All the programs are paid for by the 0.25% sales tax for climate programs passed by voters in 2020 and meant to raise about $40 million a year.

Income-qualifi ed buyers can receive up to $1,200 vouchers to buy e-bikes from an approved list of Denver bike shops. The rebates start at $400 for those who do not qualify by income, though some local bike shops add in other discounts. An extra $500 rebate is available for more expensive cargo bikes used to haul kids, groceries or tools.

“We’re honored to be a part of transforming the way Denver wants to move around,” said climate offi ce director Grace Rink, in a release. “We’re eager to bring back an expanded program that will serve more Denverites.”

Those running climate programs hope e-bike trips — fueled more and more by clean electricity as the grid transforms with renewable generating sources — will replace fossil fuel-driven car

Prepare for power outages today

Denver, though, has still not announced a plan to formally measure actual car trip reductions. E-bikes can be pedaled like a traditional bike, but the rechargeable battery pack provides pedal assist to ease the work, or in some models, a hand-twisted throttle to accelerate much like a motorcycle.

“Denver’s success with their e-bike rebate program offers a great national model for how to help shift trips in cities to address air quality and climate issues, and solve for people’s transportation needs,” said Piep Van Heuven, director of government relations for Bicycle Colorado. “The majority of trips in cities are a distance of 6 miles or less, the perfect distance for an e-bike trip.”

Denver has tweaked the program to try to ensure lowerincome residents in need of new transportation will benefi t from

thousands of dollars. Just under half the rebates have been used by income-qualifi ed residents, the climate offi ce said.

Colorado offi cials are preparing details on their own $12 million e-bike rebate program, which will allow vouchers for those outside Denver city limits. State offi cials have said they will consider allowing purchases through online retailers or big box stores to increase access for rural buyers. That program won’t begin until early 2023.

pay for coverage. People who shop on the state’s health insurance exchange, Connect for Health Colorado, and who qualify for premium subsidies could end up paying a lot less.

The reason has to do with how the subsidies are calculated, Conway said. When premium rates go up, the value of the subsidies also goes up, meaning consumers have more power to effectively buy their pre mium rates down. On top of that, Congress extended the enhanced subsidies first made available in the pandemic-era American Rescue Plan Act. That means a lot more people will be eligible for subsidies.

Conway said roughly 80% of the people who shop for individual health insurance on the state’s exchange are eligible for subsidies. And, for subsidy-eligible people in some parts of Colorado, the portion of their premiums that they pay is set to drop.

Conway said that people in Summit County who receive subsidies and who auto-renew their existing plans could see what they pay for insurance premiums drop by up to 38%. That’s despite the underlying premiums in Summit County rising by an average of 8%.

As with previous years, Conway and other state officials say that consumers who are just shopping on price will likely be able to find less expensive options than what they currently have.

Did the Colorado Option succeed? It’s a muddle.

Next year also marks the rollout of the Colorado Option, the much-touted initiative backed by Gov. Jared Polis to create a government-designed health insurance plan that is sold by private insurance companies. The standardized Colorado Option plan requires certain basic benefits — like $0 primary care and mental health care visits — while also requiring insurers to sell the plan at progres sively lower prices.

So, did it work?

To Conway, the answer is yes. In a news release, the Division of Insur ance said consumers will be able “to collectively save $14.7 million by shopping and choosing the lowest cost Colorado Option plan in their preferred metal tier (bronze, silver or gold).”

The division also said that consum ers in all but one county will be able to buy Colorado Option plans at the gold, silver and bronze levels that are at or below the average price for plans in those respective tiers. In Jackson County, only the silver level will have a Colorado Option plan at or below average price.

“The Colorado Option, which is being offered for the first time, allows participants to better understand what they are paying for and priori tizes mental and physical well being intended to better support total well ness,” Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera said in a statement.

But, to insurers, the Colorado Option failed to live up to its prom ises. Amanda Massey, the executive director of the Colorado Association of Health Plans, a trade group, said most of the lowest-cost plans across Colorado next year will not be Colo

rado Option plans. While insurers were told to price Colorado Option plans lower, they were also required to make the rates actuarially sound, meaning they had to be sustainable based on the level of services that plans provide.

“There were a number of decisions made that were part of the develop ment of the Colorado Option that would fundamentally make hitting the targets almost impossible,” she said.

The organization Colorado’s Health Care Future said in a news release that non-Colorado Option plans in many counties will have premiums that are 5% to 10% below the Colo rado Option’s prices in those coun ties. The organization is a project of the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future Action, which is itself an alliance of national insurance, hospital and pharmaceutical lobby ing groups.

Competing with themselves?

Conway said he has not completed an analysis of how many insurers’ Colorado Option plans hit the pric ing goals — though Massey said she believes a number did not. He argued that having non-Colorado Option plans priced lower than the Colorado Option plans shows how the initiative has led to greater competition in the marketplace. Basically, he argued, in surers are pricing other plans lower to make them competitive against the Colorado Option.

“They’re almost competing with themselves,” he said. “They’re trying to reduce their premiums to account for the fact that the Colorado Option is bringing premiums down.”

Massey disagreed with that idea.

She noted a number of other leg islative mandates passed in recent years — things like insulin price caps and rules requiring increased spending on primary care — that her association’s members estimate have increased insurance premiums by more than 5%.

She also pointed to the withdrawal of a couple of insurance companies from the Colorado market — both Oscar Health and Bright Health de cided not to offer plans in the state for 2023. Both withdrawals were part of national pullbacks by the companies, but Massey said their decisions are hard to square with a picture of the Colorado insurance market as a place where carriers can thrive.

“I don’t know that we would say that the market has gotten more com petitive,” she said.

Consumer advocates placed blame for rising premium prices on the health care industry. Mannat Singh, the executive director of the Colo rado Consumer Health Initiative said the industry “shouldn’t use the ongoing pandemic or inflation to hike company profits.”

“Insurers and hospitals are not making enough of an effort to meet the required reductions for some Colorado Option plans, but are instead setting a baseline for failing to hit the targets without reasonable justification,” Singh said.

Mines routes Regis 2-0, clinches RMAC title on Senior Night

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the seniors on the Mines women’s soccer team, their collegiate careers are ending the same way they began — with a conference title.

On Oct. 26, Colorado School of Mines beat Regis 2-0 on Senior Night and secured the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference regular season championship. It’s the program’s first since 2018 and sixth in its history. Senior midfielder Meg Zimmerman recalled being a freshman when Mines won the 2018 title, saying, “It’s great to win it back before we go out.”

Mines finished the regular season 13-1-3 overall and 10-0-2 in conference play and secured the No. 1 seed in the RMAC tournament. It defeated CSU-Pueblo 5-0 on Oct. 30 and was scheduled to host a Nov. 2 semifinal game against MSU-Denver.

“This is one trophy,” senior defender Jordan Barnhart said of winning the regular season title.

“We’re after two more — the (RMAC) tournament championship and the national championship.”

The Orediggers honored the team’s six seniors before kicking off against Regis on

Oct. 26. With the RMAC title and the final regular season game on the line, Barnhart said tensions and nerves among the players were high going into the game.

Hundreds of people braved the chilly October night, with spectators packing the stands and overflowing onto the nearby grass.

Mines started out slow, as Regis controlled much of the possession for the first several minutes. With lineup

changes, though, Mines started picking up more momentum, possession time and openings.

In the 30th minute, freshman forward Afton Rasco intercepted a Regis pass and drove it toward the goal, attempting a shot from about 20 yards away. The Regis goalie saved Rasco’s shot, but amid the recovery, it rolled out as sophomore forward Reese McDermott swooped down to punch it

in.

Three minutes later, sophomore midfielder Paola Rubi took a shot from just above the penalty arc and found the upper-left corner of the goal.

The Orediggers kept their 2-0 lead the rest of the game, finishing with 16 total shots, seven on goal, and four saves. Regis had nine total shots, four on goal and five saves.

“It just proved that we

have the grit of a championship team, as well as the talent,” Zimmerman said of the Oct. 26 game. “It was nice to come out here and prove it.”

Winning a regular season championship has a slightly different feel than winning a RMAC tournament championship, senior midfielder Eliot Edwards said. However, it shows how the Orediggers

Northridge stuns Golden in 4A playo opener

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Northridge took a first-half lead and hung on for an upset in the opening round of the Class 4A boys soccer state tournament Oct. 27 at the North Area Athletic Complex.

“I knew we had to come out hot and heavy,” Northridge coach Mario Colin said of the Grizzlies’ game plan after a 3-2 road victory against Golden. “We wanted to capitalize on opportunities to try to win the game.”

No. 22-seeded Northridge started building up offensive pressure in the final 10 minutes of the first half and it eventually paid dividends against No. 11 Golden.

A free kick by the Grizzlies bounced its way to

junior Eliy Diaz at the front of the net. Diaz put in a header past Golden senior goalie Jacob Laubhan. The goal gave Northridge (113-2 record) a 1-0 lead in the 32nd minute.

“We wanted to pressure them,” Northridge senior Juan Beltran said of the strategy to not allow the Demons room to operate.

Laubhan made a diving save minutes on a shot by Northridge senior Justus Alcala to prevent another score, but the Grizzlies was able to extend the lead to 2-0 at halftime when senior Julian Gordo riffled in a rebound in the 38th minute.

“In the locker room at halftime we talked about Golden coming out strong,” Colin said. “(Golden) keeps fighting to the end.”

The Demons did come out strong in the second half

with a penalty kick goal by senior Andres Garfias in the 50th minute to cut Northridge’s lead to 2-1. However, five minutes later the Grizzlies pushed the lead back to a 2-goal advantage with a goal off a direct free kick from Beltran.

“I saw the gap and told myself I just have to place it,” Beltran said of the eventual game-winning goal. “Trust myself, trust my shot and it will go in.”

Golden responded again with a deflection off junior Flynn Halsor that got past Northridge goalie Owen Henderson in the 59th minute. It would be the final goal of the night with both defensives holding their ground in the final 20 minutes.

have been consistently improving and persevering all season.

“We had a lot of away games at the beginning (of the season),” Edwards continued. “We tend to do that because we like playing some hard teams … so we can set the tone for the rest of the season.”

A championship mind-frame

Going into the Oct. 30 game against CSU-Pueblo, the three seniors said they felt the coaching staff has been preparing for this all season. Zimmerman specifically described it as having a “national championship attitude” by always striving to improve themselves throughout the season.

After the RMAC tournament, the Orediggers hope to make waves in the NCAA tournament, with Edwards hoping Mines goes all the way.

With their collegiate careers winding down, the three reflected on their favorite memories of playing soccer at Mines.

The Senior Night victory against Regis has become one of Barnhart’s favorites, but she said her

most profound one was beating UCCS in the RMAC tournament her freshman year.

Mines was playing at UCCS, which was No. 1 in the nation at the time, and 2,000 fans had packed the stands to watch the 2019 tournament championship, she described. Despite being the underdogs, the Orediggers beat the Mountain Lions 2-0.

“Nothing can top that at this point,” Barnhart said of her favorite Mines soccer memory, “unless we win the national championship (this fall).”

For Edwards, it was the team starting a tradition this year — and she wasn’t sure how or why — of doing the “Cotton Eye Joe” dance before every game.

“I’m going to remember it for forever,” she continued. “It’s great that we all get to do that before each game. … It gets our feet going.”

Zimmerman didn’t have a specific memory, saying she’s been a part of so many incredible teams and has played alongside such talented and incredible teammates for five seasons.

“To pick one would be difficult,” she said, adding how the Mines soccer program has an incredible culture every year. “ … It’s an incredible team to be on.”

NORTHRIDGE

Northridge players bursted into celebration mode when the final horn sounded to give the Grizzlies the first-round upset victory.

“This one hurts,” Golden coach Larry Harding said.

Golden has been the most consistent 4A Jeffco program over the last handful of years. The Demons advanced to the state quarterfinals in 2020 and 2021. In 2019 Golden was one step away from the state title game when it lost to eventual champion Skyview in the semifinals.

“We were expecting to go further than this,” an emotional Harding said after the seasonending loss. “I take full responsibility for this. The boys shouldn’t go out in the first round on our home field. This hurts.”
