Ernesto Avila, the man arrested as an accessory in the fatal hit-andrun outside a Golden bar, has had his arraignment continued to Feb. 21.

e court also denied Avila’s request to travel to Puerto Rico to visit family.

Avila, 25, and Ruben Marquez, 29, were arrested on Oct. 9 after Marquez reportedly drove Avila’s truck into a crowd of people outside e Rock Rest Lodge. One man was killed, and several others were injured.

Nonpro ts across Je erson County are starting 2023 with a little more money in the bank.

Over the holiday season, Arvadabased Community First Foundation awarded 18 organizations $350,000 total in grants. e funds will go toward furthering art, science and culture-based projects that promote civic engagement.

Several recipients said the funds were a complete surprise.

Museum & Park said grants like this typically have a very involved application process. However, the museum didn’t apply for it. Instead, CFF reached out to the museum based on other grant applications.

“ is never happens in the grant world,” Center for the Arts Evergreen’s Lisa Nierenberg said.

Lakewood Arts Council’s Dorothy Lessem described how she and her colleagues “looked at each other and thought, ‘Is this real?’” when they rst heard about it.

Community First Foundation con rmed the grants ranged from

$700 to $30,000. It partnered with the Scienti c and Cultural Facilities District to identify Je co nonpro ts actively working to increase inclusivity in the county. SCFD shared grant applications it’d received, and CFF worked quickly to award the grants before Jan. 1.

“ e information we needed was already in the grant applications nonpro ts submitted to SCFD,” Jaime Aguilar, program o cer for Community First Foundation, said in a Dec. 23 press release. “ … Now,

e District Attorney’s O ce has led 17 charges against Marquez, including rst-degree murder, vehicular homicide, and multiple assault charges. He’s scheduled for a preliminary hearing Feb. 3.

Avila, the truck’s owner, was believed to be a passenger during the incident outside e Rock Rest. He’s been charged with one felony count of accessory to a crime.

He appeared in court on bond Jan. 9 for a scheduled arraignment. However, his defense attorney asked for a continuance to allow more time for negotiations with the District Attorney’s O ce.

Golden High School asks for community’s help with annual food drive

Boys basketball team hoping to collect 3,000 items

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Golden High School boys basketball team is hoping to donate 3,000 items for its 2023 Jamie Wiggins Food Drive, and is asking for community members’ help to reach that goal.

e annual food drive honors Jamie Wiggins, a Je erson County teacher and GHS basketball parent who died in 2018.

e food drive runs through Jan. 18, when the basketball team hosts Wheat Ridge High School at 7 p.m. Community members can bring food items to the Jan. 18 home game, or donate them at GHS during school hours between now and Jan. 18. All items will be donated to

BGOLDN, formerly known as the Golden backpack program, which supports local children and families experiencing food insecurity.

According to Terre Deegan-Young, a player’s grandmother who’s helping the team organize the annual food drive, the need is greater than ever this year.

Deegan-Young has been involved with BGOLDN since 2008. Because the price of groceries continues to rise and with the holidays now over, she’s hoping the community will help the team meet its goal over the next two weeks.

Last year, the team collected 2,700 items, totaling about $1,250 and weighing about 455 pounds, Deegan-Young explained. is year’s goal of 3,000 items will provide Golden children with snacks during the school day and meals for their families.

e greatest items of need for the pantry include cooking oil, peanut butter, cereal, canned tomatoes,

canned fruit, canned tuna and canned chicken.

Additionally, BGOLDN also needs individually wrapped snack items such as fruit snacks, Gold sh crackers and pretzels. Items shouldn’t

Things that make it warm

include nuts.

Items can be donated between 3:45-8:15 p.m. Jan. 18, during the GHS basketball game. People can also donate items at GHS during school hours before Jan. 18.

Church in Golden, 1320 Arapahoe St., entrance on 14th Street. e choir will rehearse from 7-9 p.m.

each Monday until the spring concert, which is on the rst Saturday in May. New singers are welcome to

Judge Lindsay VanGilder granted it, saying, “I understand the discovery in the case is voluminous.”

Avila is expected to enter a plea 3:30 p.m. Feb. 21.

During the Jan. 9 hearing, the DA’s O ce also raised objections to Avila’s request to travel to Puerto Rico to visit family. e prosecutor described how the victims and their families were opposed to Avila traveling, given what they’ve su ered since Oct. 9.

VanGilder also emphasized the serious allegations in the case and denied Avila’s travel request, saying,

“ e court hasn’t heard anything today that indicates travel to Puerto Rico is necessary.”

The Oct. 9 incident e arrest a davits for Marquez and Avila describe how the two and another man rode together in Avila’s truck to e Rock Rest Lodge on Oct. 8. ey had several mixed drinks throughout the night, and reportedly talked to another group “about gang issues.” Accounts vary on whether the discussion was light banter or more contentious.

Around 1:30 a.m. Oct. 9, a verbal confrontation between Marquez’s group and the other group outside reportedly escalated into a ght. Witnesses described

a man matching Marquez’s description as getting into Avila’s white truck and driving it into the crowd, with one witness telling investigators, “ e way he swerved into people was on purpose.”

Several Rock Rest patrons and employees were injured, and 26-year-old Adrian Ponce was killed.

Of those who were injured, four were transported to the hospital, including two bar employees. All were expected to make full recoveries, JCSO stated on Oct. 10.

JCSO also stated Oct. 10 that investigators hadn’t con rmed whether it was a gang-motivated crime, and they didn’t believe any of the parties involved knew each other before their encounter at e Rock Rest Lodge.

Harvesting ‘Atmospheric Rivers’ to Replenish Aquifers & Fill Reservoirs

A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle caught my attention. It spoke of harvesting the rainfall from otherwise catastrophic “atmospheric rivers” to refill reservoirs. Another piece by the Environment Defense Fund in Oct. 2021 discussed research being conducted by the California Department of Water Resources and UC Santa Barbara on harvesting excessive rainfall to replenish underground aquifers. I have posted links to both those articles at www.GoldenREblog.com

Meanwhile, we are reminded daily that the Colorado River is drying up and both Lake Mead and Lake Powell, as a result, are suffering reduced levels that threaten to sideline their vital hydroelectric turbines.

I’m reminded of those amazing 20th

Century California water projects which brought water all over that state to meet both agricultural and urban demands, and it got me thinking about the possibility of creating another grand project to divert some of those ocean-bound flood waters to both in-state reservoirs and to Lake Powell (elevation 3,700) and Lake Mead (elevation 1,200). Not only could it help with the Colorado River problem, but it might help in some small way to reduce flooding.

Replenishing aquifers is a good idea, but can that be done at speed? I’m not knowledgeable in this area, but it seems to me that new reservoirs would have to be built to hold the water that is to be pumped into those aquifers.

Capturing flood waters on our side of the Continental Divide is already being

Media Literacy Needs to Be Taught in High Schools

This week I was made aware of a social studies teacher in Chicago who introduced media literacy as a 5-week segment of her class at Whitney Young High School. A link to the chalkbeat.org article is posted at www.GoldenREblog.com

The inspiration for adding media literacy was the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. To quote the Chalkbeat article, the teacher “scrapped her lesson plans for February and spent the entire month focused on media literacy. Among her goals: to help her juniors and seniors discern fact from fiction, identify credible sources of news, and spot misleading information.”

Every citizen, not just high school

students could benefit from learning, at the very least, that news outlets carry both hard news stories and opinion pieces and learn how to recognize the difference.

They should learn about QAnon and its origins and the outsized role it has played in recent events, not just the Jan. 6 insurrection. They should learn that “if it sounds too good to be true or too bad to be true,” it may not be true and how to use the internet (such as snopes.com and other fact-checking sites) to research such items and not to forward those juicy and seductive emails or blog posts without doing so.

No one likes to be duped, right?

handled by the many reservoirs such as Chatfield and Cherry Creek Reservoirs designed specifically for that purpose. Chatfield is owned by Denver Water, but Cherry Creek is owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. The dams for each are higher than needed in order to accommodate sudden downpours, flooding only park land and facilities.

Historically, reservoir operators have

applied long-time weather patterns, not just current forecasts, to determine when to release or not release water downstream. As climate change causes unprecedented disruptions to historic weather patterns, it offers opportunities to learn from its destabilization of those historic weather patterns and find ways to adapt to such phenomena as atmospheric rivers.

Here’s a Solution to Those Snow-Covered Rutted Streets

Does your street still look like this — over two weeks after the snow stopped falling?

Would you pay $1 or $2 to have someone plow your street before it gets beaten down, rutted and icy?

If you live in the City of Golden, this is not a problem. It’s the only city I know of which has committed to plowing every residential street, no matter how small the snowfall. (If you know of another city that does that, let me know, and I’ll share it.)

If your street is not being plowed, there’s a solution in plain sight, but only if you have an HOA or neighborhood association. Lobby your HOA to hire a person or company to plow your street immediately after each snowfall. The cost will be in proportion to how many

Price

streets and homes are in your subdivision, but regardless of size, I bet your association could find a person or company who would do it, and the cost would probably compute to no more than $2 per household per storm. Ten plowing events a year? Maybe $20 per household, but even it if were twice that, wouldn’t it be worth it?

Your association would probably not even have to raise their monthly dues for such a small expense. Google “snow plowing companies near me,” and get some quotes. Be your neighborhood hero and solve this recurring problem!

(If your HOA, not the city or county, owns your streets and/or if your community is gated, the HOA must maintain your streets and is probably already plowing them when it snows.)

Internal investigation fails to find cause of December Je co-wide shelter-in-place order

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Last month Jefferson County sent out an emergency shelter-in-place order meant for a small number of Jeffco residents. Instead, it was sent to most of the county, and the county still doesn’t know why.

According to a press release from Jeffcom 911, Jeffco’s communication authority, human error was ruled out. Rave Mobile Safety, which provides the infrastructure for sending out the alerts, was unable to replicate the situation causing the alert being distributed too wide, according to the press

release. The internal investigation found that the filter meant to limit the amount of residents that received the alert was not applied, but again, for reasons unknown.

The press release continues that Jeffcom 911 has transmitted 20 emergency alerts since the incident and has had no issues with any of them. It continues that, “Jeffcom 911 has implemented additional administrative oversight measures when administering emergency notifications as further precaution…”

Residents of Jeffco can sign up to receive these emergency alerts at Jeffcom911.org.

Q&A: Outgoing Je erson County Clerk and Recorder George Stern

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Je co Clerk and Recorder George Stern, who was voted into o ce four years ago after winning against 20year incumbent Faye Gri n, will be leaving o ce this month. He sees his job as done, and time for someone new to come in. Colorado Community Media spoke with Stern to ask how he’s changed the o ce and

what the future might hold for him.

Colorado Community Media: You were, as you’ve said, an outsider coming into the position of clerk and recorder. What does that mean and what di erence do you think it made?

George Stern: I had never worked in a clerk and recorder o ce before, I had never run a DMV or helped administer elections before, so I did not have any directly relevant

experience and I think that gave some folks some loss when I showed interest in this o ce.

I think it turned out that, with the right team in place — which we have an awesome one — and the right mindset of leadership to put constituents rst and thinking about how we can be constantly improving, that relevant experience is not important. What is important is just running the o ce e ectively and making sure we’re always prioritizing the people we serve.

CCM: You’ve stated that you find politics to be broken. How so, and how within the context of the local o ce of Clerk and Recorder?

GS: I’m perfectly comfortable saying our politics are broken, I think we see that at every level. But, I think one of the things that I feel strongly about is that too many people today run for o ce to be someone, not to do something. And, as a result, make a lot of noise, do whatever they can to get coverage of that noise and end up driving us farther apart, making things more divisive, and not really having the government do good for people.

What I try and do in government is focus on doing something. I’m not holding onto the o ce, or running again for the o ce — I came into this role to improve this o ce and I think, thanks to our team, we did a really great job with that, and now I’m moving on. I don’t need to keep holding o ce just because, I just want to move onto whatever is next.

CCM: You don’t see it as an option to stay for as long as your predecessor?

GS: If I felt like the work I promised the voters required another term or two, I’d be here for another term or two. But, we got done what we set out to get done, so it was time for me to move on.

CCM: How much of the successes you’ve had as Clerk and Recorder did you have in mind before you took the position?

GS: What I had was much less speci c and much more high level — it was a method of building a 21st-century Clerk and Recorder’s O ce.

We run the DMV. e DMV is, in most people’s minds, the worst government agency that exists, and then you ask them why and it’s long lines, and long waits, and people just having to come in-person and stand around in a lobby and wait for an hour and a half and then be told you don’t have the right paperwork and be sent away and have to come back and do it all over again.

So that’s obviously broken — in the 21st century you should be able to do anything from your couch on a Sunday, watching a Broncos game.

And so, it was things like that, hearing from a lot of voters that Lakewood, a city of 150,000 people, only had one 24-hour election dropbox. I come in and start asking why, and it’s because we never used data to drive those decisions, we just put drop boxes wherever it was easy, not where the numbers suggested we should. Lakewood now has 10, because it’s a big city and it should.

It was more, ‘this o ce is in bad need of modernization, so let’s do it.’ Most of the things that we did were not my ideas, they were mostly frontline employee ideas. ey’ve been doing this for a long time, they’ve been saying this for a long time, they just didn’t have someone willing to listen to them and put it into place.

Or, in some cases, I was adopting best practices from other counties or other states, or from businesses. So no, I did not come in with most of these ideas, I just came in with a desire to bring things into the 21st century and I looked around and listened to my employees and other county, state and private sector people.

CCM: What do you see as the long-term impact of these changes? Are you hoping someone comes along and improves it even more?

GS: To the second part, totally. I hope that my successor makes things even better. I do not have all the ideas — I did what I said I was going to do, and now it’s time for someone else to come up with new ideas and to put those in place and

we can support civic engagement through diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in our community without the added burden for nonprofits to submit a new grant application.”

For instance, the Golden History Museum received $26,000 toward its work with Indigenous communities. It recently completed an American Indian Ethnography, mainly focused on Arapaho, Cheyenne and Ute peoples’ histories.

The museum wants to use the ethnography as a “scaffold to build upon” and not a lone project, Richie stated. He hoped to use the grant to bring tribal leaders to Golden for a site consultation visit and perhaps start an ethnobotanical garden.

“This means a great deal to us,” Richie said of the funding. “It’s an investment to continue doing that work. … It’s a much larger commitment that we’re making in Golden to elevate Indigenous voices and communities.”

Meanwhile, the Lakewood Arts Council and Center for the Arts Evergreen both plan to use grant funds for educational programming. The two received $13,000 and $30,000, respectively.

“It was the perfect way to end the year,” Nierenberg said.

Lessem felt similarly, describing how the Lakewood Arts Council just moved into the 40

West Arts hub, which is across the parking lot from its former location next to Casa Bonita. Thus, the grant will be a major boost as the organization tries to revamp its educational programming since the move, she described.

It’s hoping to partner with Denver and Jeffco teachers to provide art activities, supplies and training for students of all ages. The studio also offers exhibit space for local students, and the grant will help continue that effort, Lessem added.

“We’re thrilled to put (the funds) to good use,” she continued. “ … We’re hoping to reach out into the community and do some good.”

January is Blood Donor Month, and donations are needed

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

According to the American Red Cross, the winter months are the most difficult months to collect blood donations, which is why January has been designated as National Blood Donor Month.

The American Red Cross, America’s Blood Centers and the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies are encouraging people to schedule appointments to donate blood in 2023.

Emily Kuper, a public health nurse in Clear Creek County, explained that the need for blood is constant and vital in the health care industry.

“Anyone can need blood at any time,” she said.

People need blood transfusions for a variety of medical conditions, including acute or chronic illnesses. Kuper said long-term illnesses like cancer or sickle cell disease can require frequent transfusions, and people in accidents needing surgery can require emergent transfusions.

Kuper also explained there are different types of blood donations, including whole blood, power red, platelet and plasma donations. Information on the different types of donations can

be found on the American Red Cross’ website.

“Here is a New Year’s resolution we should all make: become a regular blood donor in 2023, and start now as we mark National Blood Donor Month,” said Debra BenAvram, chief executive officer of AABB, in a press release.

New Family Planning

Like most things in life, starting a family is scary. Things like having a healthy baby and spouse, providing the necessities, money, and the general unknown are all things that fly through our heads. One of the largest concerns new families have is “Who takes care of my child if me and my spouse are gone? How does that happen? How do I know they will be safe and provided for? Is my family the best fit?” All these questions are questions that Davis Schilken, PC is equipped and prepared to answer for!

Many people will say things like “Oh my family is going to take my kids if something happens to us.” The question remains – HOW is that going to happen? Simply declaring that to another individual or individuals does not ensure your wishes are met. The last thing we want to happen with an untimely death is our children falling to the Foster Care System. The best way to ensure your family is properly planned for is by doing just that, planning. Consider things like:

• Establishing an effective Will or Trust

• Having Powers of Attorney drafted for times of incapacity

• Naming a Guardian and Conservator over your little ones

• Properly designating beneficiaries of your assets

• Effective communication between those that advise you (Financial Advisors, CPAs, Attorneys)

These planning tools can ensure that your family and children are properly taken care of in the event of your disability or death.

Don’t let these changes negatively affect your Estate Plans. Let’s make sure we all remain on the same page. With a properly established and funded Estate Plan, we can ensure that you have the ability to give what you want, to whom you want, when you want, the way you want. During that process we can help

Estate planning is never about how much you have, but how much you care about what you have.

Contact the Davis Schilken, PC team with any of your Estate Planning needs (303) 670-9855. We offer no obligation in person or virtual meetings. We make estate planning simple! Visit our comprehensive website for more tools www.dslawcolorado.com

keep it moving forward. People’s expectations change, and the way that we can serve constituents changes, and we should keep improving on that.

e crux of what we did was bring that everything had to be done inperson during business hours in one or two locations to everything can be done from anywhere. And that, I hope, will continue a long time. Given where people’s habits are, and what they expect — before COVID, but especially during and after — of being able to do everything remotely, I hope will stay.

CCM: What are your plans for the future?

GS: I wish I knew, but I don’t. Most immediately, I’ve got a two-year-old and a seven-month-old who I’m going to spend a lot more time with,

and I’m going to start to gure out what’s next.

I have spent time in both the private and public sectors. I like both. I’m looking for work in a system where I can make an impact and solve programs and so on. I’ll be looking for whatever the next challenge is that lets me do that.

CCM: Anything else you want to tell the people of Je erson County?

GS: I’ve said it many times, but I always think it’s important to emphasize that the attention is on the elected o cial, but we’ve got 115 employees here who are awesome public servants, and nothing I’ve done in the last four years would be possible without them. And, most of them are going to stay on long after I’m gone which is a great thing for the county.

ey’re the ones doing this work, they’re the ones that helped to make all the improvements, and I have great con dence that they’re going to keep doing that good work.

Davis Schilken, PC – Let our deep experience meet your heartfelt goals!

Jumping into 2023

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

New Year’s Day was a great day to go jump in the lake — Evergreen Lake, that is.

Evergreen Lake Plunge participants lined up from the lake through the parking lot, waiting their turn to brave the frigid water to start 2023. is year, the plunge had the most participants in its 14-year history: 423. Compare that to last year’s 177 plungers.

As always, the event is a fundraiser for the Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s INSPIRE program for the special needs population. Plus Active4All, the plunge’s organizer that is EPRD’s foundation, helps pay fees for families who can’t a ord to use the rec district’s facilities.

Alan Gionet, Active4All’s vice president and the event’s emcee, gures the plunge with help from its sponsors including title sponsor Bu alo Park Dentistry raised about $30,000, also an all-time high.

“We had people from all over the metro area,” Gionet said about the high attendance. “ e crowd was great and having a great time. We aren’t sure what drove big numbers other than, we have fun. It’s outdoor fun in a beautiful place, and people seem to want to just get away from

their devices and go jump in a lake. We’re all about it.”

First in line were sisters Stephanie Suzanne and Kelley Graham of Denver. eir rst time plunging, the two attended church together in Evergreen before heading for the lake. ey wore swimsuits and leggings under their church clothes, plus they brought warm clothes to change into after the plunge. e two joked and laughed about what they were about to do, suggesting that the hole to jump in was larger than in past years, so big that they could swim laps in it.

“ ey’re making it a challenge,” Suzanne said, laughing. “We can’t just jump in and jump out.” ey decided the plunge was the perfect way to start 2023, hoping for a great year.

Suzanne joked she would do a triple gainer as she entered the water, but instead the sisters jumped hand-in-hand to applause from the other plungers waiting their turn.

“It was cold but exhilarating,” Graham said afterward while wearing a bathrobe. “It was awesome. We made it.”

Paul Faulkner of Evergreen, who

wore a bathrobe as he stood in line, removed the warm attire before executing a belly op as he entered Evergreen Lake.

Delain and Chris Mott of Evergreen jumped together. Before taking the plunge, Delain explained that she participated because, “I can do hard things. I hate cold water more than anything in the world, so after this, everything else is uphill.” She even prepared for her plunge by taking cold showers to build up her endurance to cold water.

e mood was festive as the

Evergreen Lake Plunge was a cool success

plungers and spectators watched the jumping, with Gionet adding commentary throughout the event.

Volunteers grabbed the plungers’ clothes and shoes at the lakeshore and took them to tables, so plungers could begin the warm-up process after they jumped. e Muddy Buck co ee kiosk in the Evergreen Lake House parking lot was doing a brisk business.

Evergreen Fire/Rescue provided EMTs and re ghters to ensure everyone got out of the water safely. “ e rec district was a huge help, and we all had fun putting the event together,” Gionet said. “ e crowd was fantastic, patient and totally chill with the lines. We just talked to a couple who said half the fun was the party-like atmosphere in line.”

Some called the lake dip refreshing, while others were glad that the air temperature was in the high 30s rather than in the teens.

Emma Bebarta and Reza Behbakht, both of Greenwood Village, wore penguin costumes for the jump. ey said they wore elf costumes last year.

“It’s an adrenaline rush,” Bebarta said. “We love the positive atmosphere and how happy everyone is.”

Behbakht added that the plunge on New Year’s Day was a moment for rebirth.

Kate Molieri and Heather Linne, both of Bailey, wore costumes, claiming they were members of the

band Foreigner because they knew they would be “Cold as Ice” after plunging into the water.

“( e plunge) starts the year with a bang and a jump,” Linne said. ey held their noses as they jumped in, and after they climbed out, Molieri responded to a question on whether the water really was as cold as ice: “ at and a little bit more.”

It’s the year of the rabbit

days of the Lunar New Year celebrations, sometimes bringing gifts along with them such as food and potted plants. Guests were greeted by a decorated front door, adorned with the Chinese character that means luck.

Colorado State University doctoral student Xinyi “Katya” Zhou grew up celebrating Lunar New Year in her hometown of Beijing, China. Each year to celebrate, Zhou’s family would prepare an elaborate dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year, full of potstickers, chilled braised beef, many prepared vegetables, chocolates, nuts and wine.

Potstickers, the most important part of Zhou’s family celebration, were made with yellow chives, eggs and napa cabbage with homemade Sichuan peppercorn oil to add avor.

“Years ago, when my grandparents were healthier, we’d make potstickers together. My mom would mix the llings and my grandpa — the chief in the family — was the quality control and would tell Mom if the potstickers need more salt or any adjustments,” said Zhou. “Grandma, my mom, and sometimes my aunt, would actually make the potstickers. I would help as well, especially as I got older. My uncle either helped with the potsticker making or would make the dough and roll it into thin pieces.”

Guests would come and go from Zhou’s house throughout the several

Zhou’s family will be celebrating the Lunar New Year in Beijing, but because it falls in the middle of the spring semester, Zhou will be staying in Colorado and expects to spend most of the time dedicated to her studies — writing and working on her dissertation, she said.

“I do want to nd some time to make potstickers with my boyfriend and friends from the CSU anthropology department, if I have time,” Zhou added.

Lunar New Year celebrated in many places

China is a large, diverse country with varying cultural traditions. e majority of the population celebrates Lunar New Year and it is traditionally associated with the reunion of families, homemade food and time o work. Many people hold parties with food and dancing, and towns usually set o reworks. In many areas of China, people receive seven days o of work, as preparations for the holiday start well in advance.

Lunar New Year is also celebrated outside of China in other East Asian countries such as Taiwan and Korea; in India in South Asia; in Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia in Southeast

e 2023 Chinese Lunar New Year marks the year of the rabbit. Each year’s animal classi cation is a part of the Chinese zodiac and is based on the lunar calendar. e Chinese zodiac repeats on a 12-year cycle. For 2023, the rabbit symbolizes compassion, creativity, con ict avoidance, friendship and family bonding. Many Chinese people use the zodiac symbolism to help de ne the coming year.

Parties for the incoming year of the rabbit and Lunar New Year celebration will be held across the world, including one in Denver hosted by the Nathan Yip Foundation.

e Nathan Yip Chinese New Year Celebration is Denver’s largest and, according to the foundation, the most authentic Lunar New Year Party. It will take place on Feb. 4.

“ e event is going to be amazing,” said Nathan Yip Foundation Executive Director Jill Shenkel Henwood.

is year’s event will have a ChinoLatino theme, and the Colorado Mambo Orchestra will provide musical entertainment.

“We have a large Hispanic population, so it’s tting to re ect the diversity of the city and the rest of the state,” Henwood said. “We really want to celebrate the mixing of cultures with this event.”

In addition to the musical entertainment, the event will include a silent and live auction, a cocktail hour, lion dancers, a main presentation, family style dining and a post-dinner night market.

e dinner will include a traditional Chinese “prosperity” salad toss called yusheng. e tradition involves the mixing of traditional Chinese ingredients — all of which symbolize positive things such as money, luck, long life and prosperity in business. Ingredients are added to the salad one at a time and are accompanied by recited greetings of good luck.

e Nathan Yip Foundation has a rich history of improving education quality and access in remote areas of China. Now, they’ve turned their attention to Colorado, supporting teachers and students in rural school districts.

e Lunar New Year Celebration is the foundation’s biggest fundraising event of the year, and proceeds from the event will help support its mission.

“After spending years working to help schools in rural China, the Nathan Yip Foundation Board decided to look at the struggles in our own backyard and those of students in rural Colorado,” said Henwood. “We’re working to address the equity and opportunity gap that exists between education in the city compared to rural Colorado schools.”

Polis urges incentives for electric cars, mowers, e-bikes

BY SAM BRASCH COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Gov. Jared Polis is pushing lawmakers to make it even cheaper for Colorado residents to buy an electric car, electric bike or electric lawnmower.

e governor announced the plan as an amendment to his 2023-2024 budget proposal on Jan. 3. Ahead of the upcoming legislative session, he now wants legislators to approve $120 million in new tax credits to nudge the public to buy products that combat climate change and air pollution.

“ is is for Colorado to get a head start to help more people a ord electric vehicles earlier and reduce the cost in Colorado,” Polis said at a press event at the governor’s mansion.

Polis’ request comes as lawmakers prepare to manage a tricky budget in the upcoming legislative session. State economists have warned about the possibility of a recession, which could throw o Colorado’s already complicated plans for spending and taxpayer refunds. During his press conference, Polis appeared to try to dispel any concerns about further depleting state co ers with a new set of rebates.

“ is is not the general fund. is

is tax credits,” Polis said. e proposed incentive package is the latest example of Polis’ carrotheavy approach to climate policy. Will Toor, the executive director of the Colorado Energy O ce and a chief architect of the state’s climate e orts, said the proposed budget amendments would expand the state tax credit for electric vehicles from $2,000 to $5,000.

Under the proposal, anyone who buys an e-bike would also be eligible for a $500 rebate, while low-income residents could receive a $1,000 discount. Toor said the new tax credits would also cover 30 percent of the cost of new electric lawn and garden equipment.

“ is package is an important complement to existing policy and federal incentives that would help supercharge climate action and progress on clean air in Colorado,” Toor said. “I would anticipate it’s going to be pretty attractive to many members of the legislature.”

Toor said the plan is a direct response to the In ation Reduction Act, which Congress approved last year with an estimated $370 billion in spending for new climate programs.

e new law renewed a $7,500 federal EV tax credit but added a long list of restrictions. Starting around March, a buyer can get half the full credit if a vehicle has a battery with at least 40 percent of minerals from the United States or its trade partners. e other half is only available

if 50 percent of the battery components are made in North America. ose rules could exclude many EV models. To account for the new policies, many automakers have announced plans to shift supply chains and build new factories in the U.S., but it could take years for their vehicles to qualify for the federal discounts.

By expanding the state tax credit, Toor said the state could avoid a slowdown in Colorado’s electric car market. Almost 70,000 EVs are already on the road, according to a Colorado Energy O ce dashboard. Polis has set a goal to have 940,000 EVs on Colorado roads by 2030.

To reach those targets, Colorado has split from electric vehicle strategies in California. Last year, the state’s Air Resources Board approved new vehicle regulations, which included a ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles starting in 2035. Other deep-blue states are in the process of adopting the same rules.

Meanwhile, the Polis administration has proposed a modi ed version of the same regulations. While it includes many of California’s aggressive electric vehicle sales targets, it

drops the 2035 ban.

Other pieces of the proposed Colorado tax rebate package would incentive the use of clean hydrogen, community geothermal heating projects and sustainable aviation fuel.

It follows a bill Polis signed last year allocating more than $110 million for programs to improve local air quality. at included a two-year e-bike incentive program, which the state plans to launch later this year.

Toor said the new proposal aims to make sure Colorado continues to o er e-bike discounts even after the program expires. He said that’s especially important following the success of Denver’s e-bike rebate program, which helped more than 4,000 residents buy a new twowheeled electric vehicle in less than a year.

“People love them and there’s demand for them. And so we will be proposing an ongoing e-bike tax credit as a part of the clean transportation package,” Toor said.

Prepare for some new costs of being employed

Paid family leave cost is among hits to paychecks

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

As another year begins, so do some new state laws. And 2023 has a major one that will hit many workers’ paychecks almost immediately.

Paid family leave, which Colorado voters approved in 2020, will cost roughly $4.33 per week for a worker who makes $50,000 a year. In return, that worker will be eligible for up to 12 weeks (or 16 weeks for complicated births) starting in 2024. This isn’t a vacation fund, but kind of an emergency fund that will provide workers paid time off to have a baby or take care of sick loved ones or themselves.

“Starting in 2024, this is going to cover pretty much all employers in Colorado with a very small number of carve outs that were in the statute. All employees would be eligible for up to 12 weeks per year,” said Tracy Marshall, division director of the Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program, or FAMLI. “This is an annual benefit. It’s not a once-in-a lifetime benefit.”

Keep in mind, companies and workers are paying into the program this year so that there will be money to support family or medical leave next year. The expectation? The FAMLI fund will have $1.3 billion in contributions by the end of 2023.

What’s Working covered the details of the how the law will impact companies in an earlier column, but here’s a quick recap:

For employees: For a worker who earns $50,000 a year, here’s what the contribution is, according to the state Department of Labor and Employment:

• $4.33 — Employee’s weekly payroll deduction, or $225.16 a year.

• $4.33/$225.16 — Employer’s payment for the employee, though companies can be generous and cover the employee’s portion, too.

For companies: For a company with 10 employees (smaller companies aren’t required to participate) who all earn $50,000 a year, that comes out to:

• $4,503.20 — This is the employ-

er’s annual contribution. Half of this can be deducted from workers’ paychecks.

• Companies with existing plans can opt out but their paid-leave plans must be approved.

The benefits: Starting in 2024, here’s what that same $50,000wage worker will get paid if they take leave:

• $750.88 — Weekly benefit for the worker. That’s about 80% of the worker’s regular pay. Benefits are based on wages. The maximum is $1,100 a week. The benefit is paid by the state, not through the employer, so workers must apply through the state portal.

It’s also not just for new parents. Paid leave will provide a temporary benefit for Coloradans who need to take care of their sick loved ones or even themselves. It’s a benefit that an estimated 2.7 million workers could be eligible for. Roughly 216,000 employers need to register with the state’s program and the first payments are due April 30.

On average, wages in Colorado have increased 8.5% in one year. But that’s the average hourly wage. For minimum wage earners, that’s going up too — by 9%, or the rate of inflation for the first half of the year, which is what the state uses to calculate the annual cost of living change.

In Colorado, minimum wage is moving to $13.65 an hour on Jan. 1 from $12.56. In Denver, it jumps to $17.29 an hour from $15.87.

For comparison, here is how Colorado’s average hourly earnings have grown by month, according to data from the state Department of Labor: Tipped workers are getting an 11% increase to $14.27 an hour in Denver.

Time to dust o the ole viking helmet

So, we survived the holidays once again. We had a bit of brutal weather thrown in there, but that always turns it into more of an adventure. At least it does once you can look back at them. When you are trying to dig your car out of the driveway to get somewhere, it seems more of a pain than anything else.

My wife gave me a new little mini chainsaw for Christmas. I was like “Wow, this will be cool to use in the

AVENUE FLASHES

Spring,” then two days later I was already putting it to the test chopping up the branches that the snow storm brought down from my trees. Turns out it was a pretty timely gift!

At this time of year, I usually turn my attention

to some of our more traditional Western events that surround the National Western Stock Show. One that always happens is the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering, but unfortunately this year’s event has been canceled. It’s supposed to be back next year though, so we’ll look for that in 2024.

Truthfully, almost all of the exciting events in Golden for January are going to be happening on the weekend of January 27- 29. ose include

the Foothills Art Center opening of the annual Member’s Show, Miners Playhouse’s new show “ e Great American Trailer Park Musical” and the annual Ullrgrass music and beer festival.

I’ll give you some more information on the rst two in the coming weeks, but for today I’m going to take a sneak peak at Ullrgrass as there is something attached to it

Colorado GOP failed to close ranks, and lost

Ia m reluctant to add to the many opinions regarding the current state of the Colorado Republican Party. My status as a former chair in a major county compels me to speak about the ongoing drama because of my vantage point regarding how the party should function.

A cascade of events exists to point to how the Colorado GOP got to its current state. What matters is concentrating on how the future can be shaped and how to rebuild.

One incident in 2022 shows precisely how di cult the road forward will be. According to lings on TRACER, the El Paso County Republican Central Committee had approximately $70,600 in its bank accounts as of Oct. 30, 2022. To compare and contrast, other GOP major-county parties throughout Colorado had balances of between $3,000 and $24,000 in their accounts on the same date.

e reason for this di erence is that those other county parties spent money to support and elect

I assure you that if the El Paso County GOP had spent $50,000 to elect Republican candidates, some of them would have been elected. ere would have a smaller margin of loss in El Paso County for those candidates who were defeated. But the El Paso GOP did not spend and support.

Some will object and mention a number of di erent reasons why GOP candidates should not be supported, like a lack of total delity to the platform. I have sympathy for those arguments, but once the nominee is chosen, then it is time to close ranks behind them. ere are reasons for hope in terms of electing Republicans and conservatives. What I see happening is that people of means will look at the current situation in the Colorado GOP and decide to fund their own endeavors to elect candidates of their choosing who are in agreement with those people of means. ey may or may not agree with the “grassroots” who lead the EL Paso County Republican Party cur-

What the current El Paso County leadership did in 2022 is far more consequential than most currently realize. If what I predicted comes to pass, then the consequences of their actions of non-support will be larger than is currently seen. eir actions would amount to a betrayal by the “grassroots leadership” of the grassroots faithful.

Northglenn celebrates Betty grace Gibson COMING ATTRACTIONS

Fo r the late Betty grace Gibson , being a self-taught artist didn’t mean never taking an art class or workshop. As her daughter, Linda Drumm, recalls, being self-taught meant was taking things she learned in these kinds of educational environments and adding her own spin on them.

“She would take the techniques she learned and tweak them so they could be used her way,” Drumm said. “She just enjoyed what she was doing and was always exploring art all the time.”

Now Northglenn Arts is hosting an exhibition of Gibson’s work at the Parson Theatre , 1 E. Memorial Parkway (inside the Northglenn Recreation Center). The free show runs through March.

Described by the city as one of Northglenn’s defining artists and arts advocates, Gibson become one of the city’s first homeowners in 1962 when she and her family moved in. According to provided information, she was a secretary at Malley Elementary School for 23 years and also served on the North Metro Arts Alliance Board for 15 years.

She was a longtime believer in the power of art and creativity and Drumm remembers her mother always encouraging her children to try different hands-on activities. When Gibson saw an ad in the newspaper for people who wanted to paint together, she and five other women joined what would eventually become the Paletteers Art Club. The organization is still active and Gibson was a member until her death in 2021 at the age of 95.

Over the course of her career, Gibson experimented with all kinds of styles and media, but watercolor and acrylic were her favorite. She started spending the summers in Taos, New Mexico, and her time there provided a constant source of inspiration, as did the students of all ages that she taught in various arts workshops.

“She instigated a lot of art projects around community,” Drumm said, remembering her mother’s time on the Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation Board of Directors. “Mother wasn’t afraid to do anything and she did so many projects around the city.”

Since Gibson loved Northglenn so much, it’s only fitting the city celebrates her with an exhibition that highlights the reach of her creativity.

“At the opening reception a woman came up to me to tell me that she never met my mother, but she’d seen her artwork around for years,” Drumm said. “It means a lot that my mother was that well-known and I’m honored that Northglenn wanted to honor her with this exhibit.”

To thrive in country music, it is all about the voice. Not just the one that comes from the singer’s throat, but the one that comes from their pen as well. Fortunately for Canada’s Colter Wall , he’s aces in both senses of the word. Just check out “Night Herding Song,” a track that features just a few guitar strums and Wall crooning away.

e study, published in the American Journal of Medicine in 2022 found that anxiety, depression, total PTSD and emotional exhaustion measurement scores decreased by 27.8%, 35.5%, 25.8% and 11.6%, respectively.

Katherine Reed, an art therapist for the program, said that 12% saw a reduction in the desire to leave the profession.

“It’s amazing in how basic it really is, and yet it’s creating these incredible results,” Reed said.

The program

Dr. Marc Moss, a doctor who is part of the CORAL team, said the program received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts in 2019 to prove the value of the ne arts, after the National Endowment for the Arts requested proposals to show Congress that art was worth the money spent.

“It’s easy to say, ‘Wow, it’s great having a symphony’ or ‘It’s great having parks and etc.,’ but what’s the value of that?’” Moss said.

“ ey wanted to have more scienti c evidence.”

that. e program o ers group art therapy cohorts to healthcare workers to help them process their day-to-day lives.

It’s a 12-week program with weekly 90-minute sessions with between eight to 15 participants. Each session is guided by a creative arts therapist.

CORAL o ers art, music, dance and writing therapy with hopes to add drama therapy in the near future.

Reed explained that art intrinsically creates community, helps the healing process and connects people. ose characteristics are key to helping people overcome their trauma.

She said a reason burnout remains prevalent is due to the way humans isolate themselves and avoid conversations and expressions about what happened. In the group sessions, participants can show each other they aren’t alone and validate each others’ experiences.

Historically, she said, art was the basis of expression and commu-

nication. Egyptian Hieroglyphics morphed into language.

Over the course of her 20-year career as an art therapist, Reed said she has a front-row seat to the limitations of language on expression, especially in children. Children — and adults — may lack the words or rhetoric to describe their experiences or their feelings, and music, painting, drama and other forms of art can act as a backdoor to expressing those feelings.

“(Children) can show you with sound and music what it feels like in their brain to remember the impact,” Reed said. “It’s a way of communicating that bypasses language. When we talk, we’re constantly ltering our words.”

It deepens the healing and clients don’t need to know how to draw, play an instrument or act out. It’s about interpreting your own symbols, song lyrics and paint color choices to nd meaning.

Common causes

Witnessing trauma like death, injury, illness and medical ethical dilemmas are all themes that come up in the workshops. In medical school, classes don’t necessarily exist to teach students

how to deal with it.

“You get into real-life medicine and suddenly (there are) personalities, narratives, stories and family members you’re not necessarily equipped to manage. You know how to transplant that heart, but do you know how to manage the mother’s panic or the father’s anger?” Reed said.

Another root cause can be the American healthcare system in general. Reed said doctors may need to see 20 patients in one day, which limits the time to actually talk with them since then they need to document those appointments.

at leads to longer hours and less time with loved ones, making it harder to nd a work-life balance.

A lack of emotional learning for healthcare workers also hints at a broader issue at hand in general. Many parallels exist between healthcare workers and students, who may not know how to express or manage their own feelings, Reed said.

rough art therapy and CORAL, healthcare workers can learn to manage those feelings. Not only for their own well-being, but also to be more successful in their day-

to-day job.

Economic value

A lack of those tools can lead to higher rates of turnover, and Moss said it makes the program all the more valuable.

“Turnover is expensive,” Moss said.

at piques interest in hospital administrators. Less burnout and turnover of employees is coste ective. Moss said the COVID-19 pandemic ampli ed the need for mental health resources for hospitals and administrators are looking for ways to do that.

So much so that the Children’s Hospital agreed to start a program outside of the grant. Once the grant from the National Endowment for the Arts nishes its 10year period, not only does Moss think more programs will exist in Colorado, but also all across the country.

He sees a larger multicenter study occurring at multiple different hospitals in di erent cities to expand the evidence on the e ciency.

Healthcare workers engage in visual art making through the CORAL program that o ers art therapy to nurses, doctors and others within the medical profession.

Colorado considers changing its Red Flag Law

Mass shooting at club sparks new discussion

BY MARKIAN HAWRYLUK KAISER HEALTH NEWS

A Nov. 19 shooting that killed ve people and wounded 19 at a Colorado Springs nightclub has o cials considering changes to strengthen Colorado’s red ag law, particularly in self-declared “Second Amendment sanctuaries,” where emergency petitions to remove a person’s guns are led less frequently and usually denied.

e three-year-old state law allows law enforcement o cials or family members to seek a court order to seize the guns of a person who poses a threat to themselves or others. But the Club Q shooting underscores a fundamental challenge for it and other red ag laws: Sheri s often refuse to use the measures based on a belief that they infringe on the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms.

El Paso County, where the Colorado Springs shooting happened, is one such place. It has the lowest approval rate for initial court petitions led under the law of any county in Colorado where more than three cases have been led, according to a KHN analysis of court records. Now Colorado lawmakers, like those in other states that have experienced mass shootings in recent years, will try to turn angst over the incident into legislative action to strengthen the state’s red ag law, including potentially expanding the pool of people who can petition for a protection order.

Soon after the arrest of Anderson Lee Aldrich, the man accused of the Club Q shooting, reports surfaced of a previous incident in which he surrendered to police after threatening to blow up his mother’s home with a homemade bomb.

According to e Associated Press, court transcripts show that the judge who dismissed the case said in a hearing that the defendant had been stockpiling weapons and

explosives, was “clearly” planning a shootout, and that he needed mental health treatment. Neither the family nor law enforcement

sought an extreme risk protection order to ensure Aldrich didn’t have access to guns, leading to questions about whether November’s shooting could have been prevented if they had.

Colorado’s red ag law, passed in 2019, has been used more than 350 times, with initial petitions for protection orders being granted in nearly 2 in 3 cases.

Judges in El Paso County approved 11 out of 53 initial petitions, just over 20%, through Nov. 22. Although El Paso County is the most populous county in Colorado, about twice as many petitions were

Violence prevention advocates attributed El Paso County’s low approval rate to several factors. Among them, the county declared itself a Second Amendment sanctuary county in opposition to the red ag law, and El Paso County Sheri Bill Elder has been adamant sheri ’s o cials won’t seek any protection orders, “unless exigent

So far, the only two petitions led by law enforcement in the county were sought by the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Analyses of red ag laws across the country show law enforcement o cials are much more successful when they le petitions than when relatives or roommates of the person in question do.

After years of profits, Colorado hospitals face downturn

Investment losses, sta ng an issue

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

After years of churning out pro ts, many Colorado hospitals are now facing a downturn, according to recently led nancial disclosures.

UCHealth, for instance, reported a $157.5 million loss in the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2022. e loss was driven largely by investment losses — reported at more than $200 million. But the sagging stock market was not the only economic stressor for the hospital system.

Revenue from patient care was up by more than $100 million compared with the same period in the prior scal year. But the system spent more than $100 million more on wages than it did the previous year and $45 million more on supplies, signs of how in ation is impacting the hospital industry.

e trends are similar at other hospital systems in Colorado.

Vail Health reported a $47 million loss through July 31, compared with a $60 million gain for the same period of 2021. Operating revenue was at, while supply costs increased by $10 million and the wage bill rose by $7 million.

Children’s Hospital Colorado reported an $82 million loss for the

rst nine months of 2022, driven by a $180 million investment loss. Pro t from its operations — i.e., patient care — was $70 million, up nearly $13 million from a year prior.

Denver Health is seeing higher supply, labor and pharmaceutical costs compared with what it had budgeted for. It is also seeing fewer patients than expected who are covered by private insurance — a more lucrative revenue source for a hospital that often treats people covered by government programs.

Denver Health also reported providing higher-than-expected levels of charity care, for which it does not get paid.

rough September 2022, Denver Health had seen a nearly $40 million loss on operating revenue for the year. It had about three months cash on hand, roughly one month less than it did at the same time in 2021.

Tom Rennell, the Colorado Hospital Association’s senior vice president for nancial policy and data analytics, has said hospitals are facing a “double whammy” of higher expenses and at revenues, and they are also being hammered in the stock market.

“I expect negative margins this year for many, many, many hospitals, potentially the entire industry,” Rennell said in late 2022.

Placing the downturn in context Allan Baumgarten, an independent health care analyst who has produced reports for years on the Colorado hospital market, cautioned that the current downturn should be placed in context.

In Baumgarten’s most recent report on Colorado hospitals, looking at nancial performance in 2020, he found that Denver-area hospitals posted nearly $1.4 billion in pro ts for the year. And that was a slightly down year. In 2018, Baumgarten found that Denver-area hospitals saw a record $2.1 billion in pro ts.

“I think it’s necessary to look not just at the current year of results but to put into context how they have been doing for the last ve years,” he said. “Is this a temporary blip?”

Many hospitals have faced criticism for the size of their investment portfolios and the growing amount of money they’ve made from them. UCHealth, for instance, reported more than $1.2 billion in investment income for the 2021 scal year.

Baumgarten said those prior investment gains should give many hospitals the ability to absorb higher costs now.

“I would think that a lot of them would have a lot of money in the bank that if necessary they can fall back on,” he said.

Operating with a reduced cushion Hospital systems such as UCHealth, though, argue that they’ve already tapped some of that reserve — to help cover the unexpected expenses brought on by the pandemic.

“We used some of that money during the pandemic when we had to

spend tens of millions of dollars on lab testing equipment and PPE and other things that were not planned for,” said Dan Weaver, a spokesman for UCHealth.

So, to hospitals, the current investment losses are particularly ill-timed because it means they can’t use investment revenue to cover their higher expenses. Rennell said the rising costs of doing business for hospitals will likely lead eventually to higher prices for services and, ultimately, higher health insurance prices.

“ e hospitals are having a hard time o setting these costs,” he said. “I will just say that it is a big challenge.”

UCHealth provides an example of how runaway costs are gobbling up hospital budgets. e system has 13 hospitals in Colorado, as well as four a liated hospitals in Wyoming and western Nebraska. It employs roughly 28,500 people.

Weaver said the health system budgeted for salary increases for sta last scal year. But the tight labor market for health care workers ended up pushing sta compensation even higher — $214 million more than was budgeted.

Weaver said UCHealth has increased sta compensation by 21.4% over the past four years.

“UCHealth is fortunate to have stable nances, but our margin has also decreased signi cantly over the past two years,” Weaver wrote in an email.

e most worrisome nancial situation in Colorado is in Leadville, where community-owned St. Vincent Health recently came within 24 hours of not being able to make payroll, according to a report by Colorado Public Radio. Lake County Commissioners approved a nearly half-million-dollar bailout for the hospital, according to the Leadville Herald Democrat.

It’s unclear why law enforcement’s batting average is higher. It may be that police are more familiar with the legal requirements for processing and don’t make simple mistakes that can sink a petition. Law enforcement may also have easier access to legal help in filing, and judges may consider law enforcement officials more credible than family members.

Second Amendment sanctuary declarations by county governments or sheriffs can also have a chilling effect on petitions if laypeople misconstrue the largely symbolic gesture as preventing them from seeking a protection order.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office was widely criticized for not seeking a protection order after the Club Q suspect had been arrested and his guns seized in June 2021 after threatening to blow up his mother’s home. The sheriff’s office issued a statement in December saying the suspect’s weapons had already been seized and a mandatory protection order was in place, preventing him from buying additional firearms.

However, the charges against him were dismissed in July 2022, removing the mandatory protection order. The case records were sealed, which sheriff’s officials

said prevented them from using that incident to pursue an extreme risk protection order. And no new evidence was available that would have allowed the sheriff to seek one, officials added.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, said his administration will look into why petitions were not filed in Colorado Springs and ways to strengthen the red flag law.

“We’re having a discussion now with local law enforcement, with state legislators about what holes exist in extreme risk protection orders and how we can better make sure that we have a system that works to keep people safe across Colorado,” the governor said.

Polis has floated the idea of expanding the group of eligible petitioners and has mentioned district attorneys as another potential category.

Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have red flag laws on their books, allowing different parties to petition for protection orders. Law enforcement officers file most red flag law petitions, although the lines between filing groups are often blurred. Family members or others with the ability to petition often ask police to file on their behalf, and some police departments urge relatives to let police handle the petition because they’re better at it.

Four states and the District of Columbia also allow health providers to petition. But those

still represent a sliver of the total petitions filed.

“Health providers see this as a tool that can help their patients, but they don’t have the time to do it,” said Lisa Geller, director of state affairs at Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Gun Violence Solutions.

Maryland is hiring navigators to help health providers petition for protection orders, without having to go to court themselves. That kind of assistance could help other petitioners improve their chances of getting a protection order granted.

“When petitioners for domestic violence restraining orders have lawyers, their petitions for restraining orders are more likely to be granted,” said April Zeoli, an associate professor with the Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention at the University of Michigan. “These legal forms are not something that the general public is used to filling out.”

Geller said advocates are pushing states to use money available through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to increase education about red flag laws, both to make more people aware of the tool and to help law enforcement or other eligible petitioners learn how to seek them.

Colorado can access $4.6 million in funding for the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years and must apply for funds this month.

Florida passed its law after the 2018 Parkland high school shoot-

ing, and New York and Illinois expanded their laws after mass shootings in Buffalo and Highland Park, respectively. New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul directed state police to expand the use of protection orders and created staff positions to make that happen. According to the governor’s office, 832 temporary and final extreme risk protection orders were issued in New York state in the three months after Hochul’s directive, compared with 1,424 issued from August 2019 to April 2022.

Colorado gun violence prevention advoca/,tes expect state legislators to push for tougher gun laws in the upcoming legislative session. Democrats held a slim majority in 2019 when they passed the bill establishing the red flag law, limiting its scope. But a landslide victory by Colorado Democrats in 2022 could provide the votes to offer more sweeping gun measures, such as a red flag law expansion, a semiautomatic weapons ban, or a raise in the minimum age for purchasing guns to 21.

“There was an appetite for this, anyways, before the Springs shooting,” said Eileen McCarron, president of gun violence prevention group Colorado Ceasefire Legislative Action. “But I think that shooting has exacerbated the issue, giving it more momentum.”

At Denver Health, the rough nancial waters have caused the health system to pull back on some longterm projects.

“Denver Health remains committed to the critical expenditures that ensure quality care,” spokeswoman April Valdez Villa wrote in an email to e Sun. “However, the nancial loss in 2022 will delay some investment needed for long-term growth while we prioritize the present needs of our patients and sta .”

One example of that postponed investment is the system’s Sam Sandos Westside Family Health Center, a community clinic in Denver’s Sun Valley neighborhood that serves a disproportionately low-income population. Denver Health had been planning to replace the existing, aging facility. With the downturn, though, Valdez Villa said the health system has put those plans on hold and will make due with the current facility for at least a little longer.

“ at’s one of the biggest pieces, and of course, we’ll continue to reprioritize as safety nets always do to make sure quality patient care is upheld no matter the challenges we face,” she wrote.

Echoing national trends

Overall, the struggle of hospitals in Colorado echoes what is happening

nationally.

A recent report by the consulting rm Kaufman Hall estimated that hospitals’ operating margins are expected even in the most optimistic scenario to be down 37% for 2022 compared to pre-pandemic levels — making 2022 the worst year nancially for hospitals since the start of the pandemic. A more pessimistic projection for 2022 put margins as much as 133% below pre-pandemic levels. Nationally, overall hospital expenses for 2022, including for labor and supplies, are expected to be $135 billion more than for 2021.

“ ese realities translate into access to services being put in jeopardy,” Rick Pollack, the president and CEO of the American Hospital Association, said in a statement.

“ is deserves the immediate attention of policymakers at every level of government.”

But the nancial results are more mixed when looking at multistate health systems that operate hospitals in Colorado.

CommonSpirit Health, the Chicago-based nonpro t system that co-owns the Centura Health system, reported an operating loss of $227 million for the rst quarter of its 2023 scal year (which began in July). Centura operates 19 hospitals in Colorado and western Kansas, including St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood and Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs.

But Utah-based Intermountain Health, which last year merged with SCL Health, reported pro ts of more than $2 billion through the rst nine months of 2022, despite su ering

big investment losses. Intermountain owns 33 hospitals across the Western U.S., including St. Joseph Hospital in Denver.

e for-pro t HCA Healthcare, which owns HealthONE hospitals in Colorado, reported more than $3.5 billion in net income through the rst nine months of 2022. HCA is the largest for-pro t hospital system in the country, with seven acutecare hospitals in Colorado including Presbyterian-St Luke’s Medical Center in Denver.

Arizona-based Banner Health reported more than $800 million in losses through the rst nine months of 2022, made up mostly of investment losses but including $113 million in operating losses. Banner operates ve hospitals in Colorado, including North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley.

“It doesn’t mean we’re changing the focus.”

Kim Bimestefer, the executive director of the state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, said she recognizes many hospitals are struggling.

Bimestefer and her agency have for years criticized hospitals for their nancial excesses. A report from the agency earlier this year found that Colorado hospitals overall in 2020 had the nation’s sixth-highest prices per patient and seventh-highest pro t per patient, as well as the nation’s sixth-highest total pro t. Costs per patient, a measure of e ciency that looks at hospitals’ underlying costs to provide care, was the 10th highest.

Based on those numbers, Bi-

mestefer has argued that hospitals in Colorado need to slim down — more e cient operations, lower prices, tighter margins. e current downturn hasn’t changed her mind. She sees some of the issues, such as the investment losses, as being short-term things.

“Just like your 401(k) or an investment portfolio that anyone has, including hospitals, that too shall turn around,” Bimestefer said.

Hospitals often complain that Bimestefer’s agency is at least partly to blame for their woes. Weaver, the UCHealth spokesman, said Medicaid reimbursement rates have increased 4.5% over the past four years, while in ation has gone up nearly four times as much.

“ is trend is unsustainable,” he wrote in an email.

But Bimestefer is undeterred and said her agency will continue to push hospitals to work with the state to provide higher-quality, moree cient and more-a ordable care to Colorado patients.

“ is has been a little bit of a hard chapter for them,” she said. “It’s an unusual chapter all around. It doesn’t mean we’re changing the direction, and it doesn’t mean we’re changing the focus.”

Orediggers blast away CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves 94-58

Mines women’s team back on a roll after winter break

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While the Colorado School of Mines women’s basketball team started o 2023 with a 75-62 win at Colorado Christian, “It wasn’t really us,” as forward Megan Van de Graaf described.

But, the Orediggers got their groove back after winter break with a 94-58 home win over the CSU-Pueblo underwolves on Jan. 6.

“We’re still trying to get the rust o from break,” Coach Brittany Simpson said. “ is week, we were back in our routine, which helped a lot. It looked a lot more like us tonight.”

e Orediggers had another strong showing the next night against New Mexico Highlands, winning 79-48. e team’s now 13-1 overall and 9-0 in conference play.

Against CSU-Pueblo on Jan. 6, Mines had a stellar performance on both ends of the court.

Van de Graaf led the team with 19 points and 11 rebounds, recording the second double-double of her career.

e Orediggers shot 37% on threepointers and 50% overall, making Jan. 6 the team’s best o ensive performance thus far in 2022-23.

Mines also showcased its power down low, dominating both the lane and the glass. e team had 42 points in the paint, 18 o ensive rebounds and 22 second-chance points.

On defense, the Orediggers held the underwolves to 37% shooting and forced 21 turnovers. Seventeen of those were steals, with freshman guard Sammy Van Sickle leading the team with ve.

at translated to 27 points o turnovers, and 18 fast-break points for the team’s transition o ense.

“Defense really fuels our o ense,” Van de Graaf said. “ at’s when we have the most fun — when we’re getting steals or blocks.”

Center Shelby Nichols said the win over the underwolves was a great way to get rolling for the second half of the season. e fourth-year senior had a career-high 14 points with nine rebounds, three assists and two steals on Jan. 6.

“Coming o of break, it’s hard to come back and pick up where you left o , and that’s de nitely what we wanted to do,” Nichols said. “ … I’m looking forward to nishing out (the season) just as strong as we started.”

On the road again

After retooling at home, it’s time for the Orediggers to take their show on the road.

e team will have four consecutive away games, starting Jan. 13 at Regis.

“We play well at home, but we need to make sure we translate that

And snow. is event has been consistently named one of the Top Ten Outdoor Festivals in Colorado and always features a diverse lineup of bluegrass, newgrass, funk and jamband artists.  e UllrGrass Beer Festival takes place on Jan. 28 from 12-4p.m. You can enjoy live music on two alternating stages while sampling craft brews and ciders from 30+ breweries from across Colorado . e evening shows on Jan. 27 and 28 will take place in Parfet Park under heated big top tents. Jan. 29 is “FREE Family Day” featuring an UllrEgg Hunt, craft activities and games. Food trucks will be there to provide a variety of tasty treats all weekend long. Now, aside from the Free Family Day, you are going to need tickets

… to any oor,” Nichols said. e Orediggers won’t be back at home until the end of the month, when it hosts Fort Lewis Jan. 27 and Adams State Jan. 28. e latter, Simpson said, will be a big home game and hoped to see a packed house that night.

While Mines is out to three-peat as regular-season conference champions, Simpson said she wants the Orediggers to “play the long game” by focusing on whatever’s in front of them.

“Don’t worry about what’s in front of us (or) what’s behind us,” she continued. “Just try and get better every day we’re together. at’s the message we need to stay focused on.”

All the pieces are there, though, for Mines to bring home another trophy and make waves in the postseason, as Nichols described. With Ashley Ste eck, Josephine Howery

Blake Weslin sparks Green Mountain in win over Golden

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Green Mountain junior Blake Weslin had a memorable 64 seconds to close out the rst quarter on Jan. 6.

Weslin scored 12 points over the nal 64 seconds to close out the rst quarter in the Rams’ eventual 75-51 home victory over rival Golden.

“My teammates were nding me the ball and we were getting stops on defense,” Weslin said of his dozen points in a little over a minute. “We were getting buckets in transition and getting open looks. I just shoot my shot and they fell.” e junior guard had a driving layup and was fouled to make a make a 3-point play the hard way to start the remarkable run with 1:04 left in the quarter. Weslin then drained a 3-pointer with 32 seconds left. He made another 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left and was fouled to complete a rare 4-point play.

“It’s not a surprise. We’ve seen that over-and-over,” Green Mountain coach Mike Puccio said of Weslin getting hot o ensively and nishing with a game-high 28 points despite not playing in the fourth quarter. “With multi-sport guys sometimes it takes awhile to get going. I’m proud of him. He is a dog and has something to him. It’s great to see him have that success in a big moment.”

Weslin was on Green Mountain’s football team that advanced to the Class 3A state semi nals this past Fall season.

Golden turned the ball over with .5 seconds left. An inbound pass from senior Benson Wachter was perfect to Weslin who tipped the ball in at the buzzer to nish o the run.

“To be fair we have that play. Benson threw an unbelievable pass,” Puccio said of the play at the buzzer. “As soon as Benson let it go I knew we would have a shot at it. It was a great paired e ort. It was awesome.”

Green Mountain (6-5, 1-0 in league) held at least a 20-point lead for the majority of the second half. Wachter pitched in 15 points. Junior Austin Beeson and sophomore Simon Landsford both had 7 points each as 10 di erent Rams scored

in the Class 5A/4A Je co League opening win.

“We’ve told them that this isn’t a normal league deal,” Puccio said of just playing everyone once in the 11-team conference this season. “If we want to hang (league banner) we can’t slip up any night.”

Golden (3-8, 0-1) was led by juniors Slade Pike (15 points) and Alex Erger (10 points). However, a poor rst-half shooting performance dug too much of a hole for Golden to dig out of.

“I think what hurt us is we weren’t hitting shots and they were hitting everything,” Golden coach Lou Vullo said. “At halftime we were 1-for-16 and they were 5-for-9

on 3-pointers. at really hurt us.”

Golden nished 7-for-30 from 3-point range, while Green Mountain was 10-for-20 from long distance.

Green Mountain hits the road the middle of next week. e Rams travel to Conifer on Wednesday, Jan. 11, to face the Lobos (3-6).

“It’s a good mindset,” Weslin said as conference play gets going. “We just have to keep building our team. Get people more condence.”

It doesn’t get any easier for Golden. e Demons host Dakota Ridge next Wednesday. e Eagles (8-2, 1-0) are No. 6 in the current CHSAANow.com Class 5A

rankings. Dakota Ridge won its league opener over Alameda International on Friday night in a big way. e nal was 125-23.

“It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. It is what we believe in the room,” Vullo said after the Demons’ 3-8 start to the season. “I know what we have and the kids play super hard for us. Our nonconference schedule didn’t do us any favors and we play the two toughest teams in the league right after Winter Break.”

There are two job openings for every available worker

BY JENNY BRUNDIN COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Colorado is launching a full-frontal assault on its 38% job gap – that’s the di erence between job openings and actual hires. e state is changing its approach to ll its highdemand, often better-paying jobs, targeting millions of dollars in grant opportunities for businesses to train or upskill workers.

e gargantuan task means enticing many people already in the workforce into further training or education and targeting historically untapped groups with more training and education.

“We need to be doing more to help connect Coloradans, our homegrown talent with skills that lead to good-paying jobs and careers,” said Gov. Jared Polis.

How bad is the gap? is summer there were 208,000 job openings compared to 129,000 hires, according to the ninth annual Talent Pipeline Report, which analyzes and explains labor market information, shifts in job demand, top jobs and the state strategy to ll those jobs.

e report is produced by the state agency the Colorado Workforce Development Council in partnership with a number of other state agencies.

Colorado is just one of 14 states with more jobs than before the pandemic-induced recession. But it also ranks 11th in the country for the number of people voluntarily quitting their jobs.

It’s not just the 3.6% unemployment rate

Historically Colorado has relied on importing highly educated people to ll jobs. at won’t work anymore. In-state migration is slowing, a high school population is expected to plateau and then drop due to declining birth rates, and the workforce is aging. e lack of a ordable childcare has led to a drop in women’s participation in the labor force.

at means the state needs to

change its approach to getting people into top jobs through alternative pathways at any stage of life: folks in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, many of whom are already in the workforce.

“We know that a four-year degree isn’t the right path for every person and every job for many,” Polis said at the report’s release. “It’s apprenticeships, on-the-job learning, technical or community college education, dual and concurrent enrollment in high school and many other pathways.”

Colorado currently has 250,000 adults without a high school diploma, 600,000 people with some college and no degree, 45,000 students who left K-12 over the past three years, and hundreds of thousands who already have a diploma, credential or a degree but need a chance to upskill in this new labor market, the report said.

e current retraining cycle is often too slow and skilled talent is needed more quickly than education and training programs can produce. Further, the cost of traditional college and training programs are unaffordable for many.

First, what are Colorado’s top jobs?

“Top Jobs” are in high demand and they provide a living wage. ere are 178 occupations in top jobs, including computers, business and nance, engineering, farming, installation and repair, legal, transportation and moving and health care, among others.

Many of the occupations that fell o the “Top Jobs” list this year because the wages didn’t keep pace with in ation are in critical elds such as direct care (nursing homes), health care, and education.

e most job postings in Colorado last year were heavy and tractortrailer truck drivers, followed by registered nurses and software developers.

e vast majority of top jobs require some type of post-secondary

BY BRUCE GOLDBERG SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

e creators of a new lm that will premiere this spring hope it will help the state’s residents and leaders better understand what the state needs to thrive in the future.

Set to premiere on April 6, “ e Five States of Colorado” is a production of Denver-based HaveyPro Cinema and Colorado Humanities, a nonpro t dedicated to promoting humanities education through community-based programs.

It’s a follow-up to Jim Havey’s 1989 lm that was the original “Five States,” which was Havey Productions’ rst historical documentary production. e new version will be his last, as Havey plans to retire.

e lm focuses on Colorado’s history, how it came to be and where it’s going.

“We could probably make a lm just about what happened between 1990 and today,” said Nathan Church, partner in HaveyPro Cinema who also serves as its art director and editor. “But we’re trying to look at the whole history of Colorado. ere’s a lot to cram in there. We can’t cover everything, but we hope to get a good overview.”

e U.S. Congress set Colorado’s boundaries in 1861, from four di er-

A history lesson in a film

ent territories.

“ ese straight lines represent no river, no mountain range, no tribe or language group - yet within the state are many divides both geographic and human,” Colorado Humanities said in a news release.

e organization points out that the “ ve states” model reveals Colorado’s regions and each has its own history, geography and economy. According to Colorado Humanities, “each region engenders a certain loyalty from its citizens and has some common ideas how things should be done.”

“ e ve-state model is based on the idea that Colorado’s borders are a square. It was drawn arbitrarily,” Church added. “It was closed within one square that way to protect the gold-bearing regions for the Union, as this was right around the Civil War.”

A partial look at the regions entails: Southern Colorado includes Pueblo

and the San Luis Valley; Western Colorado covers mountain ranges, including North, Middle and South Park; the Eastern Plains include the Front Range north of the Arkansas River; the Front Range includes a dense population from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs; and Metropolitan Denver has its own region because of its in uence in politics and the economy.

“Some of the issues we face today are things we’ve been dealing with in Colorado in time immemorial, all the way back to the ancestral Puebloans,” Church said. “ ere was a major drought in the 1200s, and evidence shows the Puebloans moved out likely because of that. e entire Southwest is now in a mega-drought that has been going on for the better part of a decade.”

e state’s recent rapid growth in population is another topic of concern.

“ at connects with climate change, which is changing the water picture throughout the state,” Church said. “ ese topics touch all the regions.”

Colorado Humanities recruited 26 scholars and community leaders to ensure that the new version of “Five States” ensures accuracy, inclusiveness and relevance in the lm.

“One thing that gives us comfort is (they’re) advising us about topics to cover,” Church said. “ ey’ll review the script and the lm. We’re counting on those scholars to guide the development of this lm. “We really hope it will both educate people about the history of the state and inform them about current issues with that historical perspective.”

For its influence on politics and the economy, Metropolitan Denver is considered its own region as one of the five states of Colorado.

Colorado to shut down all state-run COVID-19 testing sites

BY MATT BLOOM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Anyone looking for a free COVID-19 test in Colorado will have a few less options starting on Jan. 15.  e Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says it plans to shutter its 20 remaining community testing sites on that date due to a shift in demand among residents to at-home tests. e drive-thru and walk-in sites at parks and schools – once overwhelmed at the height of the pandemic – have been operating at less than 6 percent capacity since November.  e move comes in the middle of peak respiratory illness season. But o cials involved in the announcement stressed that COVID tests would remain widely available

Over the past two years, Colorado has invested nearly $650 million into higher education and workforce development. at includes money to help students earn a postsecondary credential in high school, free adult training, apprenticeships and industry-focused training in key areas like health care, mental health, education and energy.

But now the state is also focus-

through other means.

“Coloradans have transitioned away from relying on large community testing sites and toward testing at home,” said Scott Bookman, the state’s COVID-19 incident commander, in a news release. “With this transition, the state is focusing e orts on the testing distribution methods Coloradans currently use most and providing testing resources to those who need them most.”

e closures will a ect testing clinics in Denver, Boulder, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs and other large cities across the state. e list includes the following:

Alamosa - Adams State University, Conour Hall

• Aurora - Aurora Center for Active Adults - Del Mar

• Castle Rock - Justice Center

ing intensively on giving learners the chance to earn credentials and degrees at any stage of life. It also means connecting historically under-tapped groups, such as newcomers to the country, aging workers and those with disabilities to rapidly growing industries.

Research from the U.S. Department of Labor shows people with disabilities can o er companies a competitive edge, reduce turnover, boost productivity, and improve company culture.

On the education side, the state is placing more e ort into boosting work-related learning like apprenticeships at all levels of education and giving credit for prior learning. Over the next two years, it will develop more ‘stackable credential’

Another higher education goal is to have 100 percent of the state’s degree programs have some early work-based learning experiences.

“We have students who get three years into a discipline and then decide, ‘Wait! Why am I doing nance?
