Vehicle theft suspects apprehended after wild chase No bystanders or deputies were injured in the incident STAFF REPORT

Shortly after 6 p.m. on April 7, the registered owner of a stolen vehicle reported

being shot at by the suspects of the stolen vehicle, according to a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office press release.

The shots were fired in the area of Highway 285 and Tiny Town. The vehicle, a flatbed pickup truck towing a trailer, was stolen earlier in the day from a commercial business located in

the 19000 block of Goddard Ranch Ct. The registered owner spotted the vehicle traveling northbound on Highway 285 near Surrey Drive around 6 p.m. He followed the vehicle onto South Turkey Creek Road to the area of Tiny Town, where the suspects fired multiple shots at the registered owner and short-

ly after, engaged in gunfire with a Sheriff’s deputy.

Deputies pursued the vehicle northbound on Highway 285 past Parmalee Gulch Road and towards C470. Two deputies were staged on Highway 285 just north of Highway 8 to deploy stop sticks, but as the suspect vehicle approached, it drove off the right shoul-

der of Highway 285 onto an embankment towards Turkey Creek Road. The suspects fired multiple shots at the two deputies and we returned fire. The suspect vehicle lost its trailer at this time and continued onto Turkey Creek Road, traveling north.

disease transmission. No other King Soopers locations are affected and employees at this location have been notified and encouraged to review their hepatitis A vaccination status.

Consumers may be at risk of exposure if they purchased and consumed deli meats and/or cheeses sliced onsite at the deli (or consumed onsite-prepared sandwiches containing deli meats and/ or cheeses) from this King Soopers location. The affected dates of purchase are March 20-30, 2022.

Those who are confirmed to be at risk should assess their vaccination status for hepatitis A. Full vaccination includes two doses of the hepatitis A vaccine given 6 months apart, or three doses of the hepatitis A & hepatitis B (Twinrix) vaccine. The hepatitis A vaccine is highly effective, but consumers should still monitor for symptoms in order to reduce the potential spread of the virus.

If not fully vaccinated against hepatitis A, consumers who ate onsite-prepared deli meats, cheeses and/or sandwiches within the last 14 days should seek post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), which is comprised of either vaccination against hepatitis A and/or, for certain high-risk individuals, hepatitis A immunoglobulin.

Regardless of current hepatitis A vaccination status, continue monitoring for symptoms of infection. If symptoms are present, seek

Hepatitis A can have a long incubation period of up to 50 days after exposure. If you are at risk of having been exposed, continue to monitor for symptoms throughout this entire window, as quick diagnosis can help ensure supportive treatment and reduce further spread of the virus. In addition, the virus may be transmitted for up to two weeks prior to symptom onset and one week after jaundice onset (or two weeks after symptoms onset for people who do not have jaundice).

“The good news is that infection with hepatitis A can largely

be prevented even after direct exposure, through vaccination or, when indicated, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP),” said Melanie Rogers, RN, MPH, epidemiologist and lead infectious disease investigator at JCPH. “Our department, in collaboration with other local public health agencies in neighboring communities, will be offering hepatitis A vaccines and PEP at no cost to those who think they may have been exposed. If you think you may be at risk, we encourage you to visit one of the available walk-in clinics.”

From Turkey Creek Road, the suspect vehicle turned east onto Quincy and drove eastbound in the westbound lanes. The vehicle drove into the Friendly Hills neighborhood, ending up on South Youngfield Street. The suspect vehicle then drove into Weaver Hollow Park – driving on bare front rims – and continued around the ball field backstop, northbound through the park, putting innocent bystanders at risk.

Due to the suspects being armed, having already fired multiple times during the pursuit and driving erratically in the park, deputies continued their pursuit.

The suspect vehicle jumped a culvert to exit the park onto West Swathmore Avenue, traveling eastbound onto South Union Street to West Radcliff Avenue, where the vehicle crashed into a pickup truck hooked to an RV trailer that was

Company Sells a Lighter, More Climate-Friendly Version of Concrete for Home Building

Back in January, in response to the destruction of the Marshall Fire, I wrote about various building tchniques and materials, including concrete, that could make homes more fire restistant than today’s common “stickbuilt” tract homes.

Last week a reader brought to my attention an April 1st article on www.Treehugger.com about AirCrete, “a foamy mixture of air bubbles and cement that is cheap to make, water-resistant, fireproof, and [Do-It-Yourself]-friendly.”

The headline says it all: “DIY ‘AirCrete’ Dome Homes Are Affordable, Resilient and Eco-Friendly.”

I have posted a link to that article at www.GoldenREblog.com. Above right is a picture of a home made using this process. There’s a 7-minute YouTube video within that article that describes the process.

The process is the brainchild of Hajjar Gibran, the great-nephew of the poet Kahlil Gibran. They sell the tools for creating AirCrete using locally obtained cement. The only other ingredients are water and your choice of a degreasing dish detergent to create the foam using a 120V foam injection AirCrete mixer, which they sell for $199 on their website, www.domegaia.com. For $95, Mr. Gibran will provide a professional AirCrete consultation, or for $700 tuition, you can attend a 10-day workshop.

Although the organization is focused on building domes, it’s clear that the process can be used to build other types of structures. With total structural building costs in the $2,000 to $9,000 range,

the process is marketed specifically for building “tiny homes,” and would, it seems, provide an affordable way of addressing the problem of homelessness. I’d love to see it used here in Colorado!

Cinderblocks and poured concrete do not have a high Rvalue, the common measurement of insulation. Google tells me that concrete’s Rvalue is 0.1 to 0.2 per inch of thickness. Because of the air bubbles within it, the R-value of AirCrete is 6 per inch of thickness. For reference, the R-value of 2x4 wood studs is 4.4, and the R-value of loose fill cellulose is 3.2 to 3.8 per inch.

As I noted in my earlier columns, the manufacture of Portland cement is a major contributor to global warming, responsible for an estimated 7% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

Because AirCrete is mostly air, its use of cement is less.

According to the Treehugger.com article, “The blend creates a lightweight and low-cost building block that is fireproof, water-resistant, insect-proof, and serves to insulate the building. According to its creator, AirCrete offers many desirable attributes for use as a building material for single-story residences, especially for the owner-builder, among them the ability to cut construction costs ‘by a factor of 10’ when compared with conventional construction.”

The article continues: “Beyond its affordability, DomeGaia says their AirCrete is easy to work with, drying in just

one night and flexible enough to be shaped into almost any form. You can use your standard wood-working tools to carve or drill into the material, inserting screws and nails where necessary. Since the material hardens as time passes, you can be more confident about the shape you settle on instead of being increasingly worried about future vulnerabilities.”

DomeGaia’s workshops sound like a variation on eco-tourism, because they involve building an actual dome home (probably in a “third world” country) using AirCrete. Here’s an excerpt from DomeGaia’s web page about the workshops: “This is a hands on workshop, meaning most of the time spent will be outside and actively building. Though there will be some down time when instructors

explain the building process and answer questions, you will still be on the building site as these explanations take place, so please come prepared against the elements….DomeGaia workshops usually include time for yoga, guided meditations, dance, music, and exploring local attractions! Make new friends from around the world, learning, laughing and building together.”

The website invites you to sign up for their monthly newsletter so you’ll be notified of upcoming workshops.

My thanks to the reader who shared AirCrete with me. I welcome your input!

How to spend millions in funds coming into Wheat Ridge City moves forward with plan to allocate windfall

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Consensus was given to direct staff to move forward with a plan allocating $7.9 million in ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) spending during an April 4 Wheat Ridge City Council meeting. Council also approved moving forward on a plan to allocate $8.8 million towards construction work being done on Wadsworth Boulevard and $1 million for a sidewalk on Wadsworth stretching from 32nd to 35th Avenues.

At the beginning of the meeting, Wheat Ridge City Manager Patrick Goff said the city is in the unusual situation of preparing to receive millions in non-recurring revenues

over the next couple of years. The one-time funds are coming from a mix of COVID-related federal aid and the reimbursement of funds loaned out to complete an infrastructure project.

“The city is receiving historic and transformative funding from the federal government to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic,” Goff said.

“We’ve already received $2.5 million in CARES Act funding in 2020 to respond to immediate financial impacts of the pandemic and have received half of the $7.9 million in ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funding (the city is being awarded) in 2021.”

Wheat Ridge will receive the second half of the ARPA money this June, which Goff said will address more strategic and long-term needs of the community.

Additionally, Goff said the city is seeing unprecedented levels of

commercial and residential development, increasing revenues to the city. He said Wheat Ridge is projected to receive approximately $8 million in revenue from the SCL Lutheran Hospital Project alone.

If that weren’t enough good news, this past December, the city was reimbursed $9.8 million they’d loaned to the Longs Peak Metropolitan District to complete a hook ramp project on I-70 near Clear Creek Crossing.

The reimbursement funds are unrestricted and can be spent at the discretion of City Council.

According to Alli Scheck, Director of Administrative Services, $850,000 of the CARES Act money went to support small businesses through three rounds of grant funding.

About $750,000 went towards personnel to cover Public Safety payroll.

Another $450,000 went for PPE (personal protective equipment),

with additional money going to improving HVAC systems, installing plexiglass partitions and other COVID related protections in City buildings.

ARPA funds will go toward further response to the pandemic with money being spent on responding to Public Health and Negative Economic Impacts of Covid-19, maintaining vital services and investing in long-term growth to “build a strong, resilient and equitable recovery,” Scheck said.

This includes funding Covid-19 mitigation and prevention, behavioral healthcare and preventing and responding to increases in crime and violence.

The City has retained the services of an auditing firm to help them understand guidelines around exactly how the funds can be spent. But SEE WHEAT RIDGE, P8

Diana DeGette and other lawmakers grill oil executives

BY CAITLYN KIM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

In Washington, it was a contentious time on Capitol Hill April 6, as six oil and gas executives faced questions from lawmakers about the high cost of gasoline.

Democrats focused on the fact companies are making record profits, while Republicans took aim at President Joe Biden’s energy policies.

Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette chairs the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s oversight panel, which held the hearing.

She said high gas prices are constraining “constituents’ budgets and their patience.”

As she spoke, DeGette displayed a chart behind her showing the price of crude oil going up and down, even as the price of gas has risen and stayed high, despite crude prices starting to drop.

“If the price of gas is driven by the global market, why is the price of oil coming down but the price at the pump is still near record highs? If it’s an issue of supply and demand, wouldn’t that be reflected in the global price of oil as well?”

DeGette asked. “Something doesn’t

Gas prices remain high and continue to climb in the Denver metro area and across the SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE nation.

add up.”

Oil executives and Democrats, including DeGette, spar over the reason why prices are so high The oil executives argued it’s not as simple as comparing global prices on any given day to gas station prices.

“Oil that’s entering a refinery could have been purchased at a higher price, and therefore that price then flows through all the way to the station. It’s not necessarily an instantaneous market,” explained David Lawler, head of BP America.

Chevron CEO Michael Wirth

added, “these things do correlate over the long term but in the short term, they don’t always go up and down.”

But many Democrats questioned whether companies are giving the full picture about the ongoing high prices.

“While I understand that you simply cannot flip the switch or turn on the spigot, you must be honest about the main reason that some companies are choosing to ramp up production slowly,” said Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell. “A survey of oil company executives by the Dallas Federal Reserve found that nearly 60 percent of oil companies are restraining growth because of investor pressure.”

The oil executives did acknowledge that their companies earned billions last year, after losing billions in 2020 when the pandemic tanked demand. And many of the CEOs said they would not stop paying stock dividends or pursuing buybacks this year.

They also pushed back on the accusation of price gouging, noting many of the companies did not own the gas stations.

Wheat Ridge approves further research on organized waste hauling option Proponents of single hauler system say too many choices equals too many garbage trucks on streets

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2017, the original Sustainable Wheat Ridge Committee was tasked

by City Council with developing solid waste and recycling recommendations for the city. Since then, the city has pursued a variety of waste diversion efforts.

Kayla Betzold, Wheat Ridge sustainability coordinator, started off the official presentation by saying staff was looking for Council to provide direction on how to proceed with organized waste in Wheat Ridge.

Betzold said the term organized waste refers to a municipal approach that creates a more responsible way to manage solid waste within a city.

And that organized waste systems increase the efficiency of a system by streamlining routes and optimizing the number of providers.

Betzold said benefits of organized waste systems include reduced residential costs, reduction in hauler traffic and road impacts, better neighborhood aesthetics and safety and environmental benefits.

A 2019 Lakewood report showed organized systems can reduce residential costs by 12%-35%, Betzold said.

With regard to road impacts, Betzold said open (non-organized) systems see around 10-12 trash truck passes on roads per week and that a 2018 Arvada study said each trash truck creates road damage equivalent to 1400 cars.

Organized waste also comes with challenges, she said, citing lack of hauler choice, market competition and services as well as increased administrative and financial costs to the city.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Council reached consensus to have staff come back with a consultant ON AVERAGE, AARP MEMBERS ENJOY

proposal and an outreach strategy to better determine what, if anything, residents want to see in a managed waste program.

Some history In 2010, nearly 65% of residents voted down a ballot question that would have moved the city toward an organized waste system.

Currently There are eight trash haulers operating in Wheat Ridge. Betzold said as of now, there’s no city code specific to residential or commercial waste hauling or recycling services, other than a code regulating hours of operation.

She said other cities in the region have passed regulations requiring waste haulers to offer recycling services, pay higher annual business licensing fees or pay fees for each trash and recycling vehicle. In Wheat Ridge, haulers are required to pay just $20 for an annual business license.

What the community thinks now In a 2021 resident survey, 55% of respondents said single hauler or organized waste implementation in neighborhoods was essential or very important.

Opinions were mixed during the open comment portion of the meeting.

Guy Nahmiach, a resident who frequently speaks at Wheat Ridge City Council meetings, said he opposes a single hauler mandate. Nahmiach referenced businesses like Fedex and

UPS, home food delivery businesses like GrubHub to make his point that choice in service providers is important and shouldn’t be overlooked.

“Exclusivity breeds bad service,” he said. “People want to be able to choose who we want to use. It’s why we have so many vendors of all kinds.”

Nahmiach also offered up stats about Denver’s single hauler policy — numbers of missed trash pickups and cutbacks in service — that in his mind prove its undesirability.

He urged Council to choose not an exclusive hauler, but create an “official” option that new residents to the city would use, creating a majority hauler situation once enough homes changed hands to tilt the balance.

City resident and Sustainable Wheat Ridge volunteer, Montana Stevenson, disagreed.

She said she finds the city’s current waste collection system to be inefficient and noisy, and thinks it creates too much pollution as well as giving her concerns about traffic and road safety.

Sustainable Wheat Ridge’s, April Nowack, said her organization has researched the issue of solid waste and recycling for years.

She said it’s time for Council to consider a citywide policy that addresses updating business license requirements for waste haulers, updating city code to address quality of collection bins and promoting waste diversion from landfills as well as considering a city-negotiated waste hauling contract.

WHEAT RIDGE FROM PAGE 4

Scheck said the federal government is allowing cities like Wheat Ridge to use up to $10 million in ARPA funds as a “lost revenue” allowance — a category that’s relatively flexible, allowing funds to be spent on almost any government service.

Funds could also be used for water and sewer infrastructure spending.

“Responding to Negative Economic Impacts” will include funding things like assistance to households

CONGRESS FROM PAGE 4

“I want to be absolutely clear: We do not control the market price of crude oil or natural gas, nor of refined products like gasoline and diesel fuel, and we have no tolerance for price gouging,” Wirth said during his opening remarks.

Meanwhile, Republicans try to take advantage of what they see as midterm elections talking point Republicans dismissed this line of questioning from Democrats. Ranking member Rep. Morgan Griffith used part of his time to ask if oil companies were taking advantage of the situation in Ukraine to keep prices artificially high. The oil executives all said no.

Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Cathy McMorris Rodgers described the hearing as “a distraction.”

“Today is purely political. Presi-

to deal with homelessness, affordable housing and food insecurity. It also includes assistance to nonprofits who’ve seen declining revenues or increased demand for services due to the pandemic.

Goff said City staff’s recommendation is to put about 30% of the money toward Homelessness and Housing, 8% toward COVID mitigation and prevention, 21% to Public Safety and Floodplain, 24% toward Park and Trail Improvements, 9% to Preventing and Responding to Violence, 6% to Behavioral Healthcare and the remaining 2% toward Food Insecurity and Assistance.

It’s worth noting that some of the money (from funds received in June, 2021) already has been spent.

Drilling down deeper into housing issues, Goff said staff envisions around $1 million of the money going toward the Homeless Navigation program. That amount would not only fund the current program through 2026, but would also fund an additional Housing Navigator position, which has become increasingly necessary as homelessness case numbers rise.

Additional housing funding will go toward a Regional Homelessness Navigation Center and include

support for wrap-around services like mental health and workforce training for people experiencing homelessness.

“The Navigation Center would also include 150 supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness,” Goff said. “It would also include50 short-term (emergency) beds.”

Goff said rough estimates are that Wheat Ridge’s portion for the first Regional Homelessness Navigation Center (proposed to be located in Arvada) would be around $400,000 for construction and operating expenses of around $100,000 per year.

dent Biden needs cover for his war on American energy,” she said in her opening statement.

Republicans also see a political advantage in energy prices, believing it’s an issue that could hurt Democrats entering the midterm elections.

They used their time to talk about the Biden Administration’s moratorium on new drilling leases on federal lands and regulations they claim impede production.

“Does this whole mountain of red tape by President [Biden] make it harder for you to produce more energy in America?” Rep. Steve Scalise asked.

Most of the oil executives said yes.

Republicans also criticized Democrats’ focus on expanding America’s supply of green energy, arguing it has resulted in less investment in fossil fuel production.

DeGette said this debate around more drilling and more lease sales indicates to her that the country needs a long-term energy plan.

“The things that Republicans were suggesting — more permitting, more pipelines, “drill, baby drill” — the executives told me when I talked to them before the hearing today, there is no switch to flip. It’s not like any of those things would help us get more supply today,” she said.

She said the people who could were the executives testifying and they “refused to say what they would do.”

Executives maintain that gas prices are complex, but DeGette argues they could take a cut in profits to reduce prices If there was a theme that the oil executives tried to emphasize — when they got a chance to answer more than a yes or no during the questioning — it was that gas pricing is complex.

“Demand has recovered and is now surpassing pre-pandemic levels for many transportation fuels,” Chevron President Gretchen Watkins noted in her written testimony. “But refinery throughput has not yet caught up

with the post-pandemic surge in demand. The loss of Russian supply from the global market has only added pressure on an already strained refining industry that has yet to fully catch up with increasing demand.”

There have been a number of proposals on both sides of the aisle floated to help reduce the price of oil, from a windfall tax for these producers to a gas tax holiday to easing the regulatory burden.

DeGette asked the executives to go back to their boards and see what they could do to reduce prices at the pumps now, even if it meant a smaller profit for them.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last week that her caucus wanted to wait and hear what the oil executives had to say before moving forward on any legislation.

Dear Davis Schilken, I have recently started a company with one of my best friends. We have a product we want to develop, along with a service we want to offer. What else do we need to help ensure a long and successful journey with our business?

Sincerely, Eric Entrepreneur Dear Eric Entrepreneur, Congratulations on achieving what many define as the American Dream! Few things are as exciting as becoming your own boss and developing a company that is completely yours.

Starting a new business, no matter the type, can be a difficult yet rewarding journey. Much like Estate Planning, effective (or ineffective) business planning can certainly make or break your endeavors.

There are quite a few things you want to make sure are in order throughout the life of the business.

The following list are just a few things you should consider • •

• • • • • •

Have you developed, or sought out an Attorney to assist you with your Articles of Organization?

What type of entity have you established? Here is a short list to name a few o Sole Proprietorship o General Partnership o Family Limited Partnership o Limited Liability Corporation o S Corporation o C Corporation Do you have an Operating Agreement in place?

Have you defined the roles of manager and/or member within the company?

Have you had a conversation about finances?

If property ownership is involved, how is that property owned?

Do you have a succession plan in place?

Have you considered some sort of Buy/Sell Agreement?

It is extremely important that you know these things. Each type of entity may have different tax implications, different power structures, different dynamics, and different styles/type of succession plans. Many people who start their own businesses fail to recognize those things, especially when their success is realized, and their hard work pays off. If a business owner fails to do those things listed above, they could be unintentionally putting themselves at risk to liability for myriad of things.

This liability includes personal injury, unintended tax consequences, and lack of succession planning.

The best way to protect yourself and ensure your business planning is effective is to consult with an Attorney and to ensure your i’s are dotted and your t’s crossed.

Contact our offices for valuable advice on all matters relating to business planning.

Legislature moves to adopt its first parental leave policy More and more Colorado lawmakers have babies

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

When state Sen. Brittany Pettersen gave birth to her son, Davis, during the 2020 lawmaking term, the only way the Lakewood Democrat could take time off and avoid being docked pay was to have her pregnancy deemed a “long-term illness.”

That’s because the statutes governing the legislature dictate that a lawmaker who misses more than a third of the 120-day session should have their salaries reduced unless the Senate president or House speaker designates their absence as being due to a chronic illness.

“It’s obvious that these laws were not set up for women in the legislature,” Pettersen said.

The birth of Davis and the arrival of several other legislators’ children over the past three years has prompted the Democratic majority to pursue changes to the General Assembly’s outdated leave policies.

Senate Bill 184, introduced last week at the Capitol, would automatically grant 12 weeks of paid parental leave to lawmakers, plus an additional four paid weeks for lawmakers who have pregnancy or childbirth complications.

The measure would also no longer limit the Senate president

and House speaker to using the “long-term illness” standard when granting lawmakers paid leave longer than a third of the legislative session.

State lawmakers in Colorado make between $40,000 and $41,000 a year.

“Being inclusive here has a direct impact on our democracy and who represents us,” said Senate President Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat who is a prime sponsor of

Senate Bill 184 alongside Pettersen.

“I think we need to make sure that we don’t have barriers, either intentionally or unintentionally, that keep people from being able to run for office.”

Fenberg’s wife had the couple’s first child five days before the start of the 2020 lawmaking term. He opted not to take time off and as a result “was like a zombie for probably the first half of session” that

year.

“It’s tough,” he said.

Some have questioned whether lawmakers should be able to miss extended periods given that it may mean their constituents are without representation at the Capitol while they are on leave.

But Fenberg points out that being absent from the legislature doesn’t mean a lawmaker isn’t working.

And the fact is that getting pregnant carries a degree of uncertainty.

“You don’t get to decide exactly when it’s gonna happen,” Fenberg said.

House Majority Leader Daneya Esgar, a Pueblo Democrat, had a baby, Marlo, in July 2021. She, too, knows how difficult it can be to balance work at the Capitol and trying to take care of a newborn, even when the legislature isn’t in session.

“When you have a legislature that is citizen-led, there are people that live outside of this building,” she said. “We’re not career politicians here. If someone gets pregnant or if their spouse gets pregnant, they deserve the ability to have time off with their families after their child is born just like anyone else.”

VOICES Women’s voices make change

R

GUEST COLUMN

Representatives Lisa Cutter, House District 25 and Monica Duran, House District 24

esearch shows that including women can have a cooperative, democratizing impact on groups that make decisions – groups like state legislatures. But the mere presence of women sprinkled throughout the Colorado General Assembly may not be enough. This same research suggests that when women are isolated or outnumbered in groups, they are less likely to speak up and more likely to be talked over when they do.

But when women come together in sufficient numbers to support each other and speak collectively we can overcome hidden biases, both our male colleagues’ and our own. This empowers us to productively address issues that support women, children, families and communities, to the benefit of all Coloradans.

This is the idea behind the Democratic Women’s Caucus of Colorado, where women in the State House and Senate come together to strategize around issues of equity, justice, health, safety and the environment. Because the Caucus gives us strength in numbers we can ensure women’s voices, opinions

and ideas are heard and advanced.

The Caucus asks a set of policy questions to decide which bills to focus on.

What does the bill do? Will it improve the lives of women (including trans women), children and families? Does it support people and families of color?

Does it advance gender equity? Could it result in healthier air, land and water?

And finally, can our involvement make a difference in the success of the bill?

For the 2022 legislative session, the Caucus choose to raise the profile and lend support to four bills. Our first priority, the Reproductive Health Equity Act, passed both chambers and is in front of the Governor as we write. This bill codifies the will of the majority of Coloradans, guaranteeing women the right to make their own reproductive care decisions, including electing an abortion, no matter what happens in Washington, D.C. Next, we support a bill exempting essential hygiene items like period products and diapers from sales tax, recognizing that these are basic necessities, especially for working parents and girls in school. We also back a bill

that delivers health benefits for children and pregnant persons regardless of immigration status, with the goal of reducing disparities and improving outcomes for everyone in our community. Both these bills are being considered in committee. We are further committed to a future bill that will increase protections for workers against discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

Even though statistically women focus more on issues of families, children, the disadvantaged, health care and the environment, that doesn’t mean these are “women’s concerns,” any more than taxes, infrastructure and economics are “men’s concerns.”

All these things matter to everyone living in Colorado. By amplifying women’s voices and empowering them to share equally in decision-making, we bring a wealth of diverse ideas, skills and solutions to the Colorado General Assembly and our constituents.

Representatives Lisa Cutter, House District 25 and Monica Duran, House District 24

Know the process, solve the problem

WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

T

here were maybe 20 or so of us in the room. We had gathered for a small regional business meeting a few years ago. We shared strategies, stories, and came up with new ideas and identified some things that we needed to change about our businesses. Whenever we would gather for a day or two, we would usually try and build in some exercises and activities to keep it fun and engaging.

We had someone come in to teach us strategy. One of the exercises they used was trying to teach us and coach us on how to solve Rubik’s Cube. It generated a lot of laughs, some of us got it, some of us didn’t and some gave up trying. Then the owner of the business who was hosting us brought in his two young sons, and they had learned how to solve it. They came around the room offering help. It was a bit humbling.

More of us got it, a few more didn’t, and well, even a few more gave up.

The world record for solving Rubik’s Cube is 3.47 seconds. Did you catch that?

3.47 seconds. The old record was 4.22 seconds. The key to solving a problem or a puzzle is to know the system and apply the process.

As I watch some of the cooking shows, I am always amazed at the dishes that are served in such a short time frame. Five-

star quality dishes created and made in sometimes as quickly as 20 minutes. The winners know the process, they have a system. They are given the ingredients, but more often than not, they must use their knowledge to know just how much of each ingredient needs to be used and for exactly how long it should be cooked.

There is a great book that has been out for a few years, “Atomic” Habits by James Clear. It is an incredible book by the way, I encourage anyone looking to make a change in productivity or make improvements in life to check it out. In his book, James Clear talks about goals and processes. And if given the opportunity to choose if he could only pick one, he would choose having the right process or system over a setting a goal. The goal is the destination, the process is how you get there.

In business, many companies will often talk about people, process and technology as the requirements and ingredients for success. The people are the business, take care of your people and they will take care of your business. Technology and innovation are necessary in any business regardless of industry. That leaves us with process. When we can give our people the right care and attention, provide them with the right skills and technology, and then couple that by teaching them the processes that will help them perform at

their very best, we have a winning combination.

Show me people who disagree, and cannot get past the disagreement, and I will show you people who were never taught the process or system of effective communication. Show me a professional team that is losing by a large margin, and I will show you a team that didn’t have a way or process to stop their opponent. Show me a salesperson who lost an opportunity to a competitor, and I will show you a salesperson who didn’t align their selling process with the buyer’s decisioning journey.

It doesn’t matter if it is a puzzle, conundrum, game, business, human interaction and dynamics, sports or sales, when we can learn to apply the right process to anything that we do, we will always increase our chances for success.

Is there a process or system that you need to learn? Is there something that you are doing where you would like to make improvements? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we can learn to solve the conundrums and puzzles of life using a proven process, it really will be a better than good year.

Michael Norton is the grateful president of XINNIX, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Lace up your boogie boots at the Arvada Center

U

nexpected duos are one of the keystones of storytelling — it goes back nearly as far as human history. And yet, somehow, we’re still finding ways to give powerful new spins on the trope.

Enter “Kinky Boots,” featuring a book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by legendary pop star Cyndi Lauper, which gives audiences the story of two people brought together out of the desire to make something new and better.

Now that story is closing out the Arvada Center’s 2021-2022 season.

“The show is based on a true story with a lot of comedy as well as some drama,” said Tim Howard, one of the two leads in the production. “It’s about who you are, accepting who others are and the journey you have to take to find those truths.”

Directed by Rod A. Lansberry, “Kinky Boots” runs at the center’s Main Stage Theatre, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, April 24. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. Wednesday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The show tells the story of Charlie Price (Howard), a factory owner striving to keep his family shoe business afloat by finding a way to change up the product.

Then he meets drag queen Lola (David Kaverman) — and the fabulous Angels — and discovers another approach to the business.

The cast includes Abigail Kochevar, Mairys Joaquin, Saël Charles and Heather Lacy.

“When I first heard about it, I just wanted to be a part of the show and I got my dream role,” Howard said. “The cast is one of the best I’ve worked with. There’s no negativity — everyone is just really happy to be there and have the energy of performing again.”

Like so many actors who had to

practice their craft via livestreams or recordings, Howard said the power of performing for an audience has never been more evident. Getting the energy from the cheering - and dancing - crowd adds an extra level Clarke Reader of meaning to every time they step on the stage, especially with a show as uplifting as this one.

“It feels good to say it’s okay to not know who you are right now — someone will accept you for who you are,” he said. “I think audiences will come away with a new perspective on life. If you had a rough day, that will all be in the past, which is how theater should be.”

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Banksy strikes in Denver Figuring out who the mysterious artist Banksy is has become a recurring joke in pop culture for many years. Which is a fun game and all, but the reason for the joke is the power and variety of his work. And now fans can see some of that work in Denver.

The Art of Banksy features more than 100 works by the street artist and runs through Sunday, June 12 at the Denver Sports Castle, 1000 Broadway. Among the pieces attendees can see are “Flower Thrower,” “Rude Copper” and original variations of “Girl with Balloon,” which was shredded at auction in 2018. According to provided information, the exhibit “is not authorized or curated in collaboration with the artist, but rather sourced from private collections allowing the public to see works that would otherwise stay hidden in private homes or warehouses.”

Tickets are available at banksyexhibit.com/denver/.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — MICHELLE at the Global Hall We’re only a quarter of the way into 2022, but New York’s MICHELLE has already released easily one of the year’s best albums. The group — featuring Sofia D’Angelo, Julian Kaufman, Charlie Kilgore, Layla Ku, Emma Lee and Jamee Lockard — dropped “AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS” in March and it’s a luminous collection of dream-pop and R&B. This music doesn’t grab you and shake you, but rather slithers under your skin and gets into your very bones.

The group will be stopping at the Globe Hall, 4483 Logan St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 16. MICHELLE’s music will breathe beautifully in an intimate space like the Globe, making it the perfect venue to immerse yourself in their work.

OBITUARIES MARTIN

Jackie Raymond “Jack” Martin

Jack Martin of Edgewater, CO, passed away on the morning of April 1st, 2022.

December 3, 1940 - April 1, 2022

Jack is survived by his wife of 57 years, Edna Martin (née Beaty); his daughter, Michell Cameron; his son, Leslie Martin; three grandchildren: Jeramii Martin, Emily Cameron, and Andrew Cameron; one great grandchild, Aubrella; his sister, Jeanie Waterman; and his brother, George Martin. He is predeceased by his mother, Beulah Cook; his father, Floyd Martin; his sisters Marjorie Martin, Barbara Sena, Ella Rychlec, and Rosemary Hepp; and his brother David Martin.

Jack was born in Howard, CO to Beulah Cook and Floyd Martin. Jack married Edna Beaty on September 6th, 1964, and they had two children together who he loved very

much.

Jack worked in construction as a crane oiler, and contributed to recognizable buildings in the Denver area, such as Casa Bonita.

Jack was an avid fisherman in his younger years and loved the outdoors and the wildlife of Colorado. He spent as much of his retirement as he could traveling the country with his wife and family, and walking the many national parks of Colorado. He loved birds, and when he was not looking for them on his favorite walking trails, he was tending to his bird feeders at home where he was visited by chickadees, downy woodpeckers, mourning doves, and many others.

Jack will be deeply missed by his family, and all of those who knew and loved him.

Hobby takes hold across Denver metro area and beyond

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

eekeeping has seen its popularity grow in many places across the country in recent years, and the Denver metro area is no exception.

From community gardens to backyard hives, more and more people are keeping honey bees and often selling the luscious, golden liquid reward that comes from this hip hobby.

Honey bees have become the main beneficiaries of the “save the bees” movement. According to researchers, there are around 25,000 different types of bees, but for obvious reasons, the honey bee is the most beneficial for hobbyists

to raise. Not native to North America, honey bees came to the continent with the earliest European immigrants.

In recent years, a cottage industry has sprung up around honey bees, with several fullservice shops in the Denver area offering nascent beekeepers with all of the supplies and advice they would need to start managing their own hives.

But first, new beekeepers might want to consult one of the many educational organizations that exist locally.

The Denver Bee and the Mile High Bee clubs provide support and education to the Front Range beekeeping community, and the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster offers a Beekeeping Bootcamp, a program with sessions running throughout the year. People can sign up for the whole series or attend individual classes.

Biologist Lorna McCallister manages the Butterfly Pavilion’s hives and serves as the

Beekeeping Bootcamp instructor. She said spreading out the course over five sessions allows her to guide students through the entire beekeeping process.

She said the pavilion also has five apiaries — collections of beehives — in community gardens across the metro area. They serve as great educational tools while also helping pollination around the Denver area. Beekeeping Bootcamp is certified through the Colorado Beekeepers Association, which McCallister said allows SEE BUZZ, P15

students who complete the course to become an apprentice beekeeper if they wish to take their hobby to the next level.

Those interested in the program still have time to join.

McCallister said the first class was archived, so catching up via video would be easy and the live bees used in upcoming courses won’t actually be delivered until the end of April.

“Beekeeping is really big in Colorado — especially around Denver,” McCallister said.

In fact, beekeeping has become so popular that some cities have gotten involved.

Susan Bennett is an environmental interpreter for the City of Wheat Ridge and resident bee expert at Happiness Gardens, a community resource that allows gardening enthusiasts to register for full- or half-sized plots to grow fruits, vegetables and flowers. As a “science nerd,” Bennett said she loves practically everything about the buzzing insects.

Some conservationists have recently begun questioning whether the proliferation of honey bees might in fact be harmful to native bee populations that have to compete for resources with an ever-increasing honey bee population.

Bennett said there are many scientific papers on the subject, and she’s keeping an eye on them to see what is ultimately discovered. But for now, she thinks adhering to best practices can go a long way to benefitting all pollinators. She said if people are interested in bees, the best thing they can do is plant a native garden that includes plant varieties that will flower through as much of the season as possible.

“If you do something to support the honey bees, it’s probably going to support the native bees too,” Bennett said. “Because the things that you’re going to be doing for honey bees — planting more plants that have a variety of blooming times, reducing your use of pesticides — those things are going to help all of the pollinators.”

She advises people to be aware of pests, such as the varroa destructor mite, which can have a devastating effect on the honey bee population. Another way to be a good steward of the ecosystem is to make sure diseases don’t transfer over to the native bee population.

For those who want to participate in the process of contributing to pollination and getting their own supply of honey without the work, fear not. There’s a way to get in on the experience of owning a hive without risking the stings or undertaking the learning curve.

Best Bees is a company with professional beekeepers who will come to a person’s home or office, do the work for them to set up a hive and let them keep the honey. Noah Wilson-Rich founded the company while pursuing his doctorate in honey bee immunology, and Best Bees now operates in the Denver metro area as well as more than a dozen other cities across the U.S. The company em-

ploys more than 50 professional beekeepers who manage hives for corporate and residential clients.

Wilson-Rich said the colony collapse phenomenon that occurred around 2006 raised awareness about the plight of bees.

“By having this beekeeping service that’s connected to research, we’re able to make maps of people’s home gardens, beehives and rooftop beehives in downtown Denver and Boulder and say ‘OK, where are hot spots for bee health? Where are bees doing really well?’”

Wilson-Rich said. “And then ask, ‘why? Why is that? What flowers are around there? What’s the pesticide use? What diseases are we seeing?’ So, it’s been a really fun approach. We call it citizen science.”

Wilson-Rich said the data his company collects is helpful in several ways. One is connected to NASA’s Earth observation program that utilizes satellites aimed at Earth to collect infor-

mation about things like weather patterns and land use. The partnership allows Best Bees to use that data to create maps that factor in things like climate change in relation to the health of their clients’ hive health.

Best Bees also recently launched The Urban Beekeeping Lab, a nonprofit that uses genomics — think 23andMe — to further its mission to improve bee health.

Laura Stack pauses as she reflects on what was lost when her son died by suicide.

COURTESY OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Mother ‘desperate’ to warn about THC concentrates Son’s 2019 death by suicide led to push for awareness

BY JEREMY MOORE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Johnny Stack used to tell his parents the mob was after him and that they were in on it. His mother says he couldn’t really explain why.

“He just always had this sense of paranoia or that people were watching him or after him or that everybody knew who he was,” Laura Stack said of Johnny’s behavior before his death in November 2019.

“It was a very strange pattern of thinking.”

Johnny fell from the top of the parking garage at RTD’s Lincoln Station in Lone Tree. His death was ruled a suicide and his behavior suggests he was experiencing a mental health crisis.

Five minutes before the fall he took a photo of his car odometer. It read 133661. He posted the photo on Snapchat with the message: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For one extreme to exist, there must be the opposing.” “[Experts in psychosis] don’t think he probably actually thought he would die,” Laura said. “There was a video of him from the RTD station that the cameras took in the parking lot showing that he spread his wings as if he literally thought that he was going to fly right off the building. I don’t know if he intended to die. I’ll never know what was going through his mind. But I do know that if it hadn’t been for marijuana, he’d still be here today.”

Johnny’s family scattered his ashes in Hawaii the February after

‘I wrote his life and death story in a way that I hoped other people would recognize their children and hopefully save them.’

Laura Stack

his death on what would have been his 20th birthday. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, leaving the Stacks to mourn in isolation.

“And then I got really angry living here in Colorado and just the availability of this drug and these dabs, these concentrates, these vapes, these edibles. And these kids don’t have any idea how potent this stuff is and how it’s harming their brains,” Laura said.

“And everyone wants them to believe it’s so natural and harmless.

And it’s legal. It must be safe. Just all the false narratives that these kids buy into, that these adults are telling them and not protecting them.”

For the next six months, Laura wrote about Johnny. She produced 300 pages. “I wrote his life and death story in a way that I hoped other people would recognize their children and hopefully save them.

Can’t save Johnny, but we can maybe keep it from happening to someone else,” she said. “So amazing how many people call me and they say, ‘I read your story and you can substitute my son with yours.

And it’s the same story.’”

Johnny was 14 when he first tried

marijuana at a party. It was 2014, the year Colorado became the first state in the nation to legalize recreational marijuana use for people 21 and older. Voters had passed Amendment 64 two years prior to full commercialization.

Johnny’s parents dismissed his first encounter with marijuana as a relatively harmless bump in the road. They admit they had no idea their son had begun a journey toward addiction. “I thought to myself, you know, it’s just weed, right? I used it. It didn’t hurt me.

I had no idea how wrong I was,” Laura said. “It’s the dirty little secret of the marijuana industry that these high potency products can trigger psychosis in youth.

There’s a campaign of confusion.

They want to cast doubt on any study that comes out that hints that THC in the developing brain can actually cause mental illness and schizophrenia-like psychosis with delusional thinking.”

Johnny tried to stop using marijuana a couple of times. Laura says during those breaks he would recover. But he kept going back.

MARIJUANA FROM PAGE 16

He would eventually be diagnosed with “THC abuse — severe.”

“That was his diagnosis,” Laura said. “He had no other drugs in his system. It wasn’t laced with anything. This wasn’t the black market.”

According to Dr. Chris Rogers, the Medical Director of Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Services at the HealthOne Behavioral Health Campus in Aurora, suicide is the number one cause of death in Colorado for youths ages 10 through 19. And the number one substance found in their toxicology reports is THC, not alcohol.

“The data is very suggestive that your risk of having suicidal thoughts and potential suicide attempts also increases with the potency of cannabis,” Dr. Rogers said.

“So, the younger you are and the higher the potency THC products you use seems to correlate to your risk for worsening depression and suicidality later in life. And then the higher the potency gets, it is fairly compelling that your risk of psychosis goes up somewhere between fourand six-fold with each use. The risk of addiction also seems to be correlated with that, such that we believe the data would suggest that one out of every 11 adults who try current cannabis products are destined to then become addicted. One out of every six adolescents … will go on to form a true cannabis use disorder or a cannabis addiction.”

Rogers works to increase awareness of how harmful today’s marijuana products can be, particularly for younger populations. And like Laura Stack, he combats misinformation from the cannabis industry and marijuana culture in general.

“A whole generation of Coloradans have been raised to think marijuana is medicine,” Rogers

April 14, 2022 said. “And that’s one of the most alarming trends that we combat on a daily basis. I have kids as young as 12 years old who tell me they use high potency products such as wax, shatter, dabs, things that are basically rock marijuana. It’s THC distilled down into 80%-plus forms using butane and other harsh chemicals. And you use a glass pipe with a blowtorch similar to smoking crack cocaine or any rock product.

And they use this nightly to help them fall asleep as if it were NyQuil and they don’t see any harm in it.

The harm is evident since I’m obviously talking to them in an inpatient psychiatric unit.”

Both Dr. Rogers and Laura Stack point to how rapidly the marijuana industry has developed THC products that older Americans wouldn’t even recognize. And they say the potency of today’s best sellers are having devastating effects, especially in children.

“You can ingest marijuana any which way you think might be fun and we have no idea. This includes tinctures, edibles, vaporizers, suppositories, THC-infused tampons … there are no guardrails. If it’s got THC and you can make it, you can pretty much sell it in the state,” Rogers said. “These are products that kids describe much closer to like a heroin or methamphetamine addiction. They can’t stop thinking about using these products even though they know it’s ruining their lives. They can’t focus on their friendships, their relationships, their school. They also cannot stop using because it is that potent of an addiction.” “[In 2012, Colorado] voters were thinking they were getting the Woodstock weed. That’s what they wanted. You know, they wanted this 10%, get a paper, put in some flower, roll a joint, pass it around and go to Denny’s, right? That’s what voters wanted. But what our kids got are these 90% shatters and oils and

edibles,” Laura Stack said. “I don’t think that voters would vote the same way today if everybody actually understood what marijuana is.”

Rogers and Stack are also eager to highlight how easily children are getting and hiding their use of these products.

“Things like marijuana vaporizer devices … that look like an albuterol inhaler. So, I can look like I’m treating my asthma in the middle of class and I’m getting crazy high to the point that teachers talk about kids falling out of their desks,” Rogers said. “The market share of these high potency products has skyrocketed over the available time that we have data: 170% increase in market share between 2014 and 2016.

The marijuana industry knows that if they can hook kids before their brains are fully developed, their chances of having a lifelong user are much greater. So, they’re exquisitely prone to becoming addicted.”

“These kids are fully aware of who the seniors are, who’s 18, who has their medical marijuana card and who’s selling,” Stack said. “It’s simple for kids here to get marijuana … it’s perfectly legal for an 18-year-old to go into a dispensary with a med card and buy marijuana and then sell it. So, we call this sometimes the gray market. It’s legal to purchase, illegal to sell it. But, people have the mistaken impression that these kids are getting it on the street or they’re getting it from the black market, or they’re paying somebody five bucks to go in and buy it for them. They don’t have to do that. They just get it from their classmates. They get it from their older brothers and sisters. Sadly, they get it from their parents.”

By 18, Johnny had obtained his own med card without his parents’ knowledge. After he died, the Stacks discovered pictures and videos on Johnny’s Snapchat account that suggest he was also selling marijuana products to younger children.

“He had no mental health, no physical health, no conditions that he should have been able to even get one,” Laura said. “We don’t even know who gave it to him because they protect the doctors… You can say, ‘oh, I have a migraine’ or ‘I have a backache,’ and you can get a medical marijuana card when you’re 18 and legally go into the dispensaries and buy this stuff that’s so toxic.

And they don’t know because everyone wants them to be addicted in the marijuana industry because their primary consumer is that 18- to

2022 Golden Chamber Community Magazine & Business Guide publishes on April 21st

24-year-old age group … it’s addiction for profit.”

Dr. Rogers admits parents are outmanned and outgunned by commercialized marijuana. “You’re fighting against … a multi-billion-dollar industry that is targeting your child, that is intentionally doing everything they can to change the narrative, to say this is safe, this is good, give it a shot. Let’s make it more enticing. Let’s make it more empowering, more euphoric,” Rogers said.

“I think if you sit down with Laura Stack and try to say, ‘that’s a parenting problem,’ you’re either delusionally high or you just are a heartless human because these people love the hell out of their kids. They do everything they can for them, and they’re still losing kids by the hundreds to these addictive properties.”

In May of 2020, Laura founded Johnny’s Ambassadors. The nonprofit educates parents, teens and communities about the dangers of today’s high THC products, particularly on adolescent brain development, mental illness and suicide.

She travels across the country with her husband John, who says he mourned Johnny’s death differently.

“I am proud that [Laura has] channeled her abilities into this direction,” John Stack said. “It took me a year at least to even be able to have this discussion.”

John and Laura Stack still marvel at how much marijuana changed their son. Before, he was busy with school and sports. He ran crosscountry and track, played soccer and was a brown-green belt in karate. He had a 4.0 GPA until his very last semester of high school and scored a perfect 800 in math on his SAT, graduating with a scholarship to Colorado State University.He played the piano and guitar, participated in service projects and had a heart for the homeless.

John remembers the strained relationship he had with Johnny before his death. He chalked it up to typical teenage behavior. “I always thought that we had time,” John Stack said.

“I always thought that, you know, someday we would laugh about some of the things that happened when he was a teenager. And I never got that chance.”

How Coloradans can prepare for a wildfire emergency

BY CORBETT STEVENSON ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Late last year when the Marshall Fire ravaged parts of Boulder County and over 1,000 homes across the City of Louisville and the Town of Superior, Colorado residents were left worried about the future of the state if fires like this continue.

Climate experts have weighed in and said that as the climate continues to change and water dries up, more fires can be expected. In addition, traditional notions of “fire season” could be a thing of the past as fires become a year-round problem. After the NCAR Fire in March of 2022 in Boulder, chief of the Boulder Fire Rescue Wildland Division Brian Oliver said, “the concern is that any time there’s not snow, it’s fire.”

While a warming and drying climate is a significant part of the picture, there are myriad other factors to consider including a century of state and federal forestry policy and the building of homes in disaster-prone areas. Still the most important thing you can do now as fire season becomes longer is keep yourself and your family safe in case of an emergency.

We’ve compiled a list of tips, resources and advice to make sure you and your family are prepared.

Before a fire Before there is any threat of a fire, everyone should have some basics prepared in case of emergency.

Build an emergency kit - take an afternoon to have everyone in the family gather some important items that can all be kept in a safe and secure location in case the need for evacuation arises. These items should be kept in easy-to-carry containers like backpacks and kept close to an exit so they can be retrieved upon evacuation.

• Water - The Red Cross suggests one gallon of water per person per day for three days in case of evacuation.

• Food - non-perishable and easy to prepare.

• A first aid kit with enough supplies for each person in the household.

• Flashlight and extra batteries.

• Hand crank or battery-powered radio.

• A multitool.

• A seven-day supply of necessary medications.

• Some personal hygiene items like soap, deodorant, diapers etc.

• Family and emergency contact information.

• A map of the area.

• Copies of important personal documents such as land deeds, birth certificates, etc. (Original copies of these documents should be kept in a fireproof safe in the home.)

Make an emergency plan - before disaster strikes, take the time to have a plan of action for yourself and your family. Your plan will vary based on many factors, but here are some things to consider while getting started.

Consider your unique needs - take into account special accommodations for any family members who are senior citizens, disabled, young children or babies. Make sure to include pets as well.

• Plan a place to go - in case of wildfire evacuation, make sure you have a safe place to go such as a family member or friend’s house or hotels along your evacuation route, as well as a plan for how to get there.

• Have a plan of communication with your family. This should include an outside emergency contact everyone can stay connected with and a plan for how to receive important information, such as a radio.

• Make arrangements for large livestock and farm animals in case of evacuation.

• Make sure everyone knows the emergency plan, especially young children.

Stay informed Sign up for emergency alerts and familiarize yourself with emergency services in your county through this list.

• Check for any existing emergency plans from your place of work, school or anywhere else you may find yourself in an emergency.

• Read through Colorado’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management wildfire safety page.

In case of a fire emergency In an emergency, the first thing to do is to remain calm and follow your previously made preparedness plans. Here is a list of important things to keep in mind if the need to evacuate arises.

In the aftermath of the Marshall Fire, experts are recommending ways to prepare for COURTESY OF THE COLORADO SUN tragedy.

Follow instructions - If an evacuation notice is issued or if you feel evacuation is necessary, always evacuate.

Stay informed - As the emergency will be ongoing, make sure you have a reliable way to receive information such as where you should be evacuating to and how quickly.

Pack emergency kits - With your emergency kit already packed, it should be easy and fast to grab what you need and leave as soon as possible. Make sure to grab any last-minute items not packed in the bag such as wallet, keys, phone and chargers.

Prepare all pets and animals Make sure all pets are packed and ready to go in a safe and secure way such as a crate or small carrier tank. For large livestock or farm animals, make sure to prepare them for transport.

Prepare your home for evacuation - Assuming there is enough time, try and prepare your home as much as

possible for fire. Close all windows and doors but leave them unlocked.

Leave lights on so your house can be seen in smoky conditions. Remove all lightweight and flammable curtains. Turn off your gas at the meter if possible. Shut off the air conditioning/heat.

If you cannot evacuate - CAL FIRE recommends the following: Call 911 and inform authorities of your location.

• Fill sinks and tubs with cold water.

• Keep doors and windows closed but unlocked.

• Stay inside your house.

• Stay away from outside walls and windows.

Advocates want to create a statewide recycling program And charge companies to do it

BY MICHAEL BOOTH AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

State Sen. Kevin Priola had his recycling epiphany while staring at an empty pizza box.

The grease stains on the lid spelled it out for the Henderson Republican: Colorado recycles only about 15% of its waste because recycling is too hard. Even a dedicated recycler like Priola was surprised to learn that cardboard with food stains is not welcome in the paper bin.

He’s learned to rip the postpepperoni top off the pizza box and recycle the rest. And Priola’s doubled down on recycling by being a co-prime sponsor on one of the most ambitious recent attempts at improving Colorado’s abysmal recycling rates.

Priola and two Democrats are leading the “Producers Responsibility” bill in the legislature, which would require the companies whose brand is on the packaging to charge themselves a fee to fund improved local recycling services across Colorado.

Cities or counties without their own recycling services could take the fees to start up a program.

Places like Denver or Boulder who run or contract for extensive recycling could use the fees to expand — many apartment dwellers don’t get recycling services, for example.

Or they could turn recycling programs over to nonprofits and private companies likely to enter the market.

Giving recycling access to all Colorado consumers and making the sort-and-return systems easier to use would cut deeply into trash across the state, Priola said.

“If you can get 60, 70, 80% of the people to start doing the right thing, that’ll mean less resources being wasted. Less water being wasted. Less air pollution. A more vibrant local economy,” he said.

One reason a Republican like Priola got on board was the effort to be business-friendly: Recycling advocates say a steadier stream of packaging materials like aluminum, glass and cardboard will

eventually ease the supply chain woes and inflation plaguing many American companies.

Also, the businesses creating and delivering packaging are in charge of the proposed program. House Bill 1355 would create an industry council to study how much money is needed for a statewide recycling plan and would let the council set the rates needed to raise that money.

“So many of these businesses are getting hit with real disruptions in their ability to get materials, which is directly connected to the fact that we’re throwing so many materials away,” said Kate Bailey, research and policy director at the

nonprofit recycler Eco-Cycle.

Businesses who use lots of packaging have gone along with similar programs in Canada and a couple of U.S. states, Bailey said, proving a comprehensive, producer-funded system can work. Businesses with less than $5 million in revenue will be exempt. And closer to home, Bailey said, putting all paint recycling in Colorado under a similar duesfunded nonprofit called Paint Care has increased paint recycling while saving local governments money.

It’s possible the bill is a nohoper this late in a session already crammed with complex issues like how to refund surplus revenue to taxpayers and how to regulate toxic emissions. Advocates, including cities such as Westminster and nonprofits like Eco-Cycle and CoPIRG, expect mofd opposition from small to medium businesses worried about costs and bureaucracy than from giants like CocaCola and Molson Coors.

And Gov. Jared Polis has been wary of increasing costs for Colorado residents and businesses given recent inflation pressure.

“It will not be a noticeable price increase to consumers,” Priola said in introducing the bill, along with co-prime sponsors Rep. Lisa Cutter, D-Morrison, and Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver. Advocates say the dues usually amount to fractions of a penny for each package and result in steep increases in recycling.

Bailey said average dues in similar Canadian programs are three cents per pound for aluminum cans,

with a pound of aluminum making about 30 cans in a pound.

Hearings starting April 7 are likely to be packed with both supporters and business representatives concerned about the potential requirements.

Local governments also plan to raise voices on the bill, many of them in support of a more robust state recycling effort.

“In Clear Creek County and other rural parts of the state, higher costs for recycling services and transportation are forcing hard decisions,” said George Marlin, a Clear Creek County Commissioner and president of Colorado Communities for Climate Action.

“Why should communities have to choose between housing, childcare and recycling, when so much of the business community wants to be part of the solution?”

The bill “makes recycling as easy to access as trash pickup,” said Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr. Including those who produce and deliver the packaging, he said, ties the cost of recycling back to the original materials. “My constituents across the county want to have good recycling options.”

State steps up to help launch careers in early childhood fields

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Joyful Rothe worked in a nursing home kitchen for 18 years before taking an entry-level job as an aide at a child care center. Shelby Wilson also wants a career working with young children, but for now handles the paperwork for her husband’s log-hauling business.

The two women spend an hour every Monday evening in a secondfloor classroom at Front Range Community College in Fort Collins, cars whizzing by outside as they learn how to talk to children about feelings, plan learning activities, and handle meltdowns. They are among hundreds of students across Colorado taking advantage of a new state program that pays for two introductory early childhood courses — a stepping stone to teaching in the field.

The initiative, funded with $4 million in federal COVID aid, is part of a state effort to mint more early childhood teachers before the state’s universal preschool launch in 2023, and help the industry recover from staff shortages exacerbated by the pandemic. In addition to the free college classes, the state is funding apprenticeships, scholarships, training opportunities, mentoring programs, and translation and other

Democrats plan to reduce paid family leave fees for 6 months Polis, state party face election-year pressure

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

One of the most expensive proposals from Gov. Jared Polis and Democrats in the Colorado legislature this year aimed at driving down the cost of living involves the state’s new paid family leave program. But the business community, which would benefit from the effort, says the amount of relief is so small and so short-lived that it won’t have a measurable effect.

House Bill 1305 would, for six months, reduce the fee split between employers and employees that the state will charge starting next year as part of Colorado’s new, voter-approved paid family and parental leave program.

The reduction would drop the fee rate to 0.81% of an employees’ wages from 0.9%, a decrease of 0.09 percentage points. For a worker making $4,000 a month, that would drop the fee to $32.40 from $36 a month. Employers pay half the fee; employees pay the other half.

Business groups say the change won’t really make a difference for them or their employees — “It’s really a pittance,” said Tony Gagliardi, who leads the Colorado branch of the National Federation of Independent Businesses — though nonpartisan fiscal analysts say the reduction would cost the state $57.5 million to backfill the lost revenue.

Polis and Democrats, who are facing election-year pressure over the rising cost of living, have set aside $157 million in the fiscal year 2022-23 budget, which begins July 1, for government fee relief. The money will also go toward delaying the start of a new 2-cent-per-gallon gas fee and reducing medical licensure and certification fees.

Polis and House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver, celebrated the fee-reduction efforts in their speeches kicking off the 2022 lawmaking session. Both said that cutting costs for Coloradans is a priority for them this year.

“The governor wants to provide the maximum support possible under state law to benefit small businesses and hardworking Coloradans,” spokesman Conor Cahill said in a written statement.

But Republicans have criticized the efforts as being too small to make a difference. (The $157 million, divided among the state’s 5.8 million residents, comes out to about $27 per person.) The GOP has also pointed out that Democrats are offering relief from fees they implemented.

“I’ve lost track of the number of fee increases the majority Democrats have passed,” said Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, a Highlands Ranch Republican. “And now they come here today and say that they’re offering fee relief? It’s absurd.”

Democrats acknowledge that the fee relief package is not a silver bullet. Senate President Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, said affordability issues and inflation are “much larger than just what the state legislature can solve.”

“We’re thinking about what is within our control as a legislature and where do we have the ability to provide some relief,” he said.

“We’re not going to be able to change everything for every family, but there are things that are within our control. It’s not going to be life-changing for people, but people need relief wherever they can (get) it, and we think these are the areas where the state can afford to bear that burden.”

The governor’s office said the paid family and parental leave fee relief was limited in scope as to not run afoul of a state law requiring that no more than 10% of an enterprise’s funds may come from the general fund. The paid leave program is set up as an enterprise.

The legislature is also set to allocate at least $600 million to buy down the $1 billion debt owed to the federal government through Colorado’s unemployment insurance trust fund, which was drained during the pandemic. Businesses and employers would otherwise be responsible for covering the deficit through a paycheck surcharge.

A bill allocating money to buy

down the unemployment trust fund debt has yet to be introduced.

The legislature’s Joint Budget Committee also set aside $200 million for a forthcoming property tax relief effort. Lawmakers aren’t sure what that will look like yet — or whether it will happen. Conversations around property tax relief are heating up after the full legislature began debating the budget last week.

Critics of the scope of the relief package say if lawmakers really wanted to help businesses and Coloradans contend with rising costs they would delay the implementation of the new paid family and parental leave program and the new transportation fees.

“There are inherent problems that come with adopting government-run programs that are responsive to mandates rather than economic realities, we are beginning to see these problems surface,” said Mike Kopp, president and CEO of Colorado Concern, an

alliance of business leaders.

But Democrats argue that isn’t unfeasible.

“We can’t miss our climate goals,” said Sen. Faith Winter, a Westminster Democrat who championed the policies implementing new transportation and paid family and parental leave fees. “We can’t delay that. We can’t delay paid family leave because that means another year of people making a decision between a paycheck and taking care of themselves when they’re facing cancer.”

Budget debate at the Capitol continued last week.

Colorado business leaders lose optimism about economy But 55% in survey expect to raise wages anyway

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

No surprise here. Global unrest with the Russian invasion of Ukraine plus ongoing and rising inflation have Colorado business leaders less optimistic about the economy this year than last, according to a new survey.

But has that changed how they’re going about their business?

According to a new analysis by Leeds Business Confidence Index, 55% of the 195 local business leaders surveyed said they expect to raise wages while just 8% plan to reduce staff and 1% plan to cut hours. Nearly half, or 46%, will increase prices or pass costs to consumers because of inflation.

“They’re pessimistic about the (economic) backdrop,” said Rich Wobbekind, senior economist and faculty director of the Leeds Business Research Division at the University of Colorado. “But in their own responses, they’re saying in the next three and six months, we’re going to hire more people, we’re going to invest in more capital. So, they’re still in expansion mode even though they’re concerned about the broader economy.”

Inflation in Colorado, by the way, is projected to increase 7.3% this year and slow to 2.8% next year.

In a quarterly survey of 195 Colorado business leaders, the Leeds Business Confidence Index recorded optimism is dropping about how the state and nation’s economy will fare in the next few months. A rating below 50 means the outlook is much COURTESY OF LEEDS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER more pessimistic.

The index measures business leaders’ optimism and above 50 is considered positive. And while most categories are still above 50, including how leaders feel about Colorado’s economy, concerns with global events and inflation caused the Leeds index to fall to 40.4 for the national economy for second quarter 2022.

Brian Lewandowski, the division’s executive director, said that business leaders tend to be more optimistic about the state’s economy than the nation’s. It’s because they live here and work here, so what’s happening outside the state isn’t as tangible.

“The one thing I would add,” he

said, is “the expectation of inflation is almost as bad as actual inflation.

And I sort of wonder if the same is true when looking at business confidence. So, it’s still positive right now, which is a good signal. But if business leaders signal pessimism about the future, if they expect the future to be worse than it is today, then that could have impacts on how they invest and how they hire and how they try and expand their business. So that’s a concern when it drops below 50.”

Colorado hotel workers had highest rate of job quitters Colorado workers may finally be finding the jobs they want — or at

least employers are doing their best to retain them — as the national rate of job quitters fell in March and leveled off in Colorado, according to new data from Gusto, a payroll and benefits services company with co-headquarters in Denver.

Colorado’s quit rate in March was at 3.01%, down from 3.03% in February, and nearly half the August high of 5.04%. The national average was 2.85% in March, down from 3.09% in February and 4.94% in August.

Chatfield baseball swings past Fairview

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — Chatfield’s bats are starting to heat up as the Class 5A Jeffco League play edges closer.

The Chargers (3-6-1 record) scored double-digits runs for the second straight game April 7 at Chatfield High School. The Chargers put on a hitting display in nearly a two and a half hour affair against Fairview (1-7).

“The bats have come alive the last couple of games.

We are pleased with that,” Chatfield coach Brett Pieratt said after his squad had 17 hits over six innings.

Chatfield took a 19-9 victory that finally ended with sophomore Brady Snow ripping his fourth hit of the game with a 2-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning. Juniors Mason Lowe and Parker Murrow scored to induce the 10-run mercy rule.

“I always look away,” Snow said of his approach at the plate in the walk-off hit. “I feel like I do that everything falls into place. It’s really my approach every at-bat is go the other way.”

Snow led the Chargers’ offensive attack. The sophomore went 4-for-5 with five RBIs and was just a home run short of hitting for the cycle. Chatfield had five players with multiple hit

games. Marrow drove in four runs going 3-for-5.

The biggest inning for Chatfield was the bottom of the second where the Chargers turned a 2-0 deficit into an 8-2 lead after sending a dozen batters to the plate.

“We all just wanted to get going,” Snow said of the 8-run second inning where the Chargers roughed up Fairview starting pitcher Trenton Fano for seven extra-base hits. “We just wanted to hit and it came alive.”

Fairview did a little hitting of its own. The Knights scored runs in every inning.

Including a 2-run home run by junior Aidan Scott in the fifth inning and a 3-run home run by junior Aidan Armbruster in the top of the sixth that made it a 14-9 game.

“We’ve got to throw some more strikes early, but it will all come together,” Pieratt said of the confidence in his squad that made the 8-team 5A state tournament last season.

Junior Carson Sherrill got the start on the mound for the Chargers and was dominating at times. He struck out nine in four innings of work, but also gave up four runs on seven hits. Junior Chase Neagle pitched the fifth inning for Chatfield.

Neagle struck out the side, but gave up a walk before allowing the 2-run home run.

Stocking had back-to-back strikeouts to start the sixth inning, but gave up back-toback walks before giving up a 3-run home run. Senior Dylan Novotny finished off the inning with the 14th strikeout of the game for the Charger pitchers.

Chatfield’s 5-run bottom

of the sixth inning finished off the game and didn’t let the Knights to get back up to the plate.

“It doesn’t get any easier next week with Rock Canyon and Heritage,” Pieratt said of facing a pair of top10 ranked squads this week before getting into 5A Jeffco

League play on April 19 against Ralston Valley. “We need to clean some things up defensively.”

Lakewood boys hand Dakota Ridge its first loss

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — It’s going to be an eight-step process, but Lakewood’s boys lacrosse team cleared that first hurdle April 6 toward the goal of winning a league title.

The Tigers (6-3, 1-1 in league) won its Class 5A League #2 opener at Trailblazer Stadium with a 10-7 victory over Dakota Ridge.

“It feels good,” Lakewood coach Darin Denton said after the Tigers’ fourth straight victory. “I told the boys one game at a time, but I don’t think you are going to win this league unless you win them all.”

Winning the conference title won’t be an easy task.

Seven of the nine teams in the league began conference play with above .500 records.

Lakewood got off to a solid start with a 3-0 lead on perviously undefeated Dakota Ridge (5-1, 1-1).

Sawyer Cullen, SeanPatrick O’Reilly and Lane Lessley got the scoring going early in the first quarter.

The Eagles got some momentum with a late goal by senior Cade Oldershaw to close the first quarter.

Oldershaw and junior Cam Seymour each scored in the second quarter for Dakota Ridge, but Lakewood maintained a 5-3 advantage going into halftime.

“It was sloppy,” Denton admitted. “It’s kind of windy and there are a lot of things to clean up, but they brought the energy when they needed to bring the energy. I’m proud of them.”

Dakota Ridge sophomore Sam Lyall cut it to a 5-4 lead early in the third quarter, but then the Tigers went on a 3-0 run to gain some separation. Lessley, junior Luke Brunner and senior Jace Wright scored during the nice stretch for the Tigers.

“We had to know what we were running before every-

thing. We couldn’t hear out on the field with the wind,” Lessley said. “We all had to be on the same page and I think as the game went along we got better at that.”

Lyall and junior Noah Triplett scored for Dakota Ridge to end the third and start the fourth-period scoring to cut the lead to 9-7. However, Lessley put in his fourth goal of the game with 6:30 left in the fourth quarter to make the score 10-7.

“We just knew we had to buckle down,” Lessley said when Dakota Ridge cut the Tigers’ lead to a 2-goal margin. “We knew if we got a couple of more goals we would probably win the game.”

Brunner had three goals on the day to extend his team-leading 24 goals on the season. Lessley had found the back of the net 19 times.

“Lane had a big goal. He SEE LACROSSE, P27

has been a leader and a captain for us this whole season so far,” Denton said. “He’s been awesome.”

Lakewood junior goalie Garrett Simmering got the victory in net.

Denton did give a lot of credit to Dakota Ridge junior goalie Logan Dobrowski for his play.

“Hats off to (Dakota Ridge) goalie.

He stopped a lot of goals today that I think could have broke the game wide-open,” Denton said of Dobrowski. “He stood in the pipes well. Hats off to their whole team.

They never gave up either.”

It was the first loss of the season for Dakota Ridge. The Eagles bounced back in a big way with a 9-8 victory over rival Columbine on April 8 to grab Dakota Ridge’s first conference win.

Lakewood got a big test against Poudre School District (6-0, 2-0) on April 8 at Trailblazer Stadium. The Fort Collins-based team coached

by Lakewood High School graduate Will Cantwell took a 9-7 victory over the Tigers.

ECONOMY FROM PAGE 24

of the economy had a 10% quit rate in March, according to Gusto, which can analyze its own customer data to see trends before the national report comes out. Other service industries — including retail and food and beverage — also saw rates higher than Colorado’s overall quit rate of 3.01%, and the U.S. rate of 2.85%.

Gusto’s lead economist Luke Pardue theorizes this type of worker can find another job pretty easily these days. Companies from Amazon to United Airlines are all looking for workers who, at minimum, are pleasant to customers and show up on time.

“These industries where we’re seeing the highest quit rates, we’re also seeing the highest hiring rates,” Pardue said. “This is a sign that workers are really switching jobs within industries for higher pay, for better conditions or better benefits.”

However, he added, “A 10% quit rate in accommodations is not something we have seen (since) quit rates hit 10% in August of 2021, as many workers left seasonal positions as the summer ended. Also, a 10% quit rate is not something we have seen in other sub sectors recently.”

As hotels prepare for warmer weather and more visitors, they are again competing with one another as well as the rest of the hospitality, travel and restaurant industries that are also ramping up for what they’re hoping to be a more fortuitous season.

April 14, 2022 The cost of benefits Scanning the help-wanted ads, it’s difficult to find hotel work without some sort of incentive beyond a paycheck.

The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel offers a $1,000 sign-on bonus to experienced cooks (the gig pays $22 an hour and includes health and retirement plans). Springhill Suites in Denver offered medical and retirement benefits, an RTD pass and a $750 hiring bonus for a room attendant (though that job appears to be filled).

The key here may be to offer benefits in the first place. And they might not be as much as an employer assumes. According to Gallup polling data, replacing a worker costs one half to twice the ex-worker’s salary.

Pardue calculated the cost of replacing versus offering retirement benefits, based on Gusto and Bureau of Labor Statistics data: 1. Retirement benefits reduced quit rates by 1.3 percentage points, or 15.6% for 12 months.

2. A company with 25 workers and 15.6% lower quit rate loses 3.9 fewer workers per year.

3. At an annual salary of $30,000, those 3.9 jobs cost, conservatively, $58,500 to replace.

4. BLS estimates that retirement benefits cost an employer 3.5% of a worker’s salary. For 25 employees, that’s $26,250 a year.

So, that’s paying out $26,250 a year versus $58,500.

“On our back-of-the-envelope calculation, the return is more than double the cost of a retirement plan. So, one thing that they actually can do is offer these

low-cost or no-cost benefits that aren’t necessarily as expensive as, say, health insurance but have the benefits of retaining and attracting talent,” he said. “Offering, say, retirement benefits might seem like an upfront cost but it has these returns that more than pay for themselves.” After writing about unemployment, jobs and Colorado’s pandemic economy for two years, I finally got a chance to stop by a real, live job fair. Those in-person career events are not completely back, but at the invitation of United Airlines, I stopped by its event at the United Club at Empower Field at Mile High stadium on Tuesday.

The airline has been desperate for workers, and I’ve mentioned how they’ve tweaked their benefits in past columns, including bonuses of up to $10,000 and rolling out new starting wages of $19.64 an hour for baggage handlers and customer service representatives.

By the end of the day, 970 people stopped by for the event and 350 left with a job offer, United spokes-

man Russell Carlton told me. Of those offers, he said, “more than 200 were for customer service, a little more than 100 were for ramp agents and more than 20 for roles within our technical operations division.”

United plans to hire another 3,000 workers by 2026, but it’s not just to get back to its pre-pandemic levels. It’s about major expansion going on in Denver. The company is committed to adding another 200 daily flights and 20 more gates at Denver International Airport.
