Jeffco Courage Walk creates support through unity Lives touched by violence and tragedy come together to offer sense of hope

Family and friends gathered at Jeffco’s Courthouse April 30 to honor loved ones whose lives were cut short by violent crime. Some brought balloons and bouquets or wore t-shirts with photos and names of those they had lost.

The mother, sister and step-mom of Jordan Sprouse have come to the event for several years. Sprouse, an 18-yearold about to graduate from high school, was killed in a fatal vehicle crash caused by a reckless, intoxicated driver who purposely ran a red light, smashing into Sprouse’s vehicle.

Lakewood City Council listened to a presentation on adopting an ordinance to allow a Safe Parking program in the city during the April 25 meeting.

The Colorado Safe Parking Initiative is a program currently operating in other Jeffco municipalities including Arvada and Golden.

As part of the program, churches volunteer their parking lots to be used as overnight parking facilities for people on the brink of complete homelessness who still have an operational vehicle to sleep in. The lots are monitored and prohibit the use of drugs and alcohol onsite.

After discussion of various plans they could move forward with, Council reached consensus on moving forward with an option (the fourth presented) allowing participating churches to immediately apply to begin operating a Safe Parking facility once a formal plan is filed with the city clerk and approval has been granted.

The option Council chose will modify the current zoning code to expand the amount of time people are allowed to sleep in a vehicle (like an RV) on private property from two weeks to 120 days. It also will modify the type of vehicle a person can sleep in, making passenger cars allowable.

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

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

The event is a showcase for archtop guitar-makers, also known as luthiers, and will include workshops, professional demos and live music.

An archtop is a hollow or semi-hollow steel string acoustic or acoustic/electric guitar, which rose to prominence in the jazz scene in the early 20th century and remains popular among jazz, blues and folk players.

Gus Schenck from the City Atttorney’s office gave the presentation. He said this option can be implemented immediately, serving as a pilot program to finetune a more permanent program once the City decides what works best and an ordinance is created by staff.

To be clear, there is no current legal prohibition to sleeping in a vehicle parked on a public street, although Schenck pointed out potential risks like unfriendly interactions between people sleeping in cars on a public street in front of private residences, and the homeowners who live there, as just one reason the status quo wasn’t a good long-term solution to the problem. He also cited lack of dedicated sanitation facilities for people just parking in neighborhoods as a reason the growing problem should be dealt with.

A band plays at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Archtop Festival.

In his presentation, Schenck gave Council four other options for addressing the issue. The first, he said, was to simply do nothing, which would continue to make Safe Parking programs illegal in the city.

The second option was more or less kicking the can down the road by adopting a short-term moratorium on enforcement of the nuisance code. This would allow Safe Parking to take place without the City committing to a code change right now.

The third option was to amend the current nuisance code, removing all restrictions associated with living in one’s car within the city, but take no action to establish safe and hygienic overnight parking areas. Schenck said this model could create another problem in that it would likely lead to people congregating, turning those areas into de-facto unlicensed campgrounds in areas not zoned for camping. Amending the code in this waywould take a minimum of six weeks to see a first draft.

The fifth option presented to Council would have seen them direct City staff to create an ordinance establishing a new law to legalize long-term parking (working with Colorado Safe Parking Initiative). If passed, this option would green light privately owned and supervised parking lots to provide overnight parking for up to a year for unhoused individuals, allowing them to live in their car until they find permanent housing.

This option would require applicants to undergo a two-stage intake process including a criminal background check, to make sure they’re not a safety risk to themselves or others. It would also require the lots to have sanitation facilities including restrooms and trash services. These lots would be supervised by an onsite manager and operate from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m.

Jane Barnes, executive director of Benefits in Action, spoke during the public comment period of the meeting. Her organization works with the Colorado Safe

COURTESY OF OLDE TOWN ARVADA BID

Parking Initiative. Barnes said in 2021, Benefits in Action was able to help move around 35% of Safe Parking clients to permanent housing.

“We believe and we have seen first-hand that Safe Parking lots can do a lot to stop the slide into full-fledged homelessness,” Barnes said. “Individuals the have a vehicle, have an asset.

They can get their kids to school, they can get themselves to work and they can provide themselves a safe place to store their belongings.”

Ben Hensley, Pastor of Lakewood United Methodist Church, stood up to say his congregation was ready to offer their lot for the Safe Parking program, should it be approved by the City.

He said they planned to start off by offering four spaces for people to park in.

At least two residents spoke in opposition to a Safe Parking program in the city, raising concerns about the potential for drug use and crime in neighborhoods that allow Safe Parking.

Dispute over church access road heads to mediation Lakewood City Council looks to find evasive solution to wicked mess

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood Community Resource Director Kit Newland called it a wicked problem with conflicting interests.

That problem: an access road that runs along the north side of Sanctuary Park, from South Garrison Street to the parking lot of St. Jude Catholic Church.

One one side of the issue: parishioners of the church. They’ve been using the road for decades and want to keep it open as a more convenient

— and they say, safer — way than exiting onto often crowded West Florida Avenue, for those heading east.

On the other side: homeowners in the neighborhood who’ve been complaining of illicit activities going on along the road. They want it closed to the public, although some want to be able to access it themselves when necessary.

There’s also an issue with protecting public park land from private encroachments. The City and County actually own the land the road sits on. It’s technically part of the park.

Further complicating the matter, the church has been using the access road since before Lakewood became a city. The park land was SEE ROAD, P9

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

COURAGE FROM PAGE 1

Sprouse’s mom, Jessie Ackerman, said the Courage Walk allows victims to get to know others who are going through the same type of circumstances.

“They understand the loss of a child or someone they love,” she said. “It’s hard to go through a process like that when somebody was responsible for it and isn’t even remorseful.”

It’s a club no one wants to be a part of. But former Public Information Officer for the First Judicial District Pam Russell said the gatherings help to give victims strength and know they’re not alone. Russell has taken part in the event for years. She said some families show up faithfully each year to keep the memory of victims alive and offer support to those in need.

Several advocate groups, support services and law enforcement agencies also were in attendance, with booths offering information on resources.

Nicole Lopez, guest services coordinator for PorchLight, a family justice center, said her organization was there to reach survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, crimes against children, elder abuse, at-risk individual abuse and human trafficking in the community.

Speaking to the crowd, outgoing Jeffco Sheriff Jeff Shrader said the walk signified the courage for family members left behind and

Juvenile sentenced in Wikoff double murder case Mother of victims shares heartfelt story of loss

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The second of two juveniles charged in connection with the August 2020 double murders of brothers Damian, 18, and Dillon, 17, Wikoff was sentenced April 26 to four years in juvenile detention, with credit for time already served.

Because the individual was charged as a minor, their name cannot be publicly released. The sentence was the result of a plea-bargain wherein the individual in question plead guilty to one count of First Degree Murder.

On the night of the shootings, the Wikoff brothers had agreed to meet one of the suspects in the case, 17-year-old Michael Anthony Mendoza, to sell him a ‘ghost gun’ they had assembled from a kit they purchased online.

After being charged as an adult and facing multiple counts of First Degree Murder and numerous other charges, Mendoza also agreed to a deal with prosecutors and will be sentenced May 23.

Only one of the persons initially charged is expected

to go to trial. Marqueil Deandre Banks, who was just 16 years old on the night of the murders, also was charged as an adult. Banks has admitted to shooting the Wikoff brothers, but claims it was an act of self defense. Banks’ defense attorney is attempting to have his case sent back to juvenile court. A “Reverse Transfer” hearing has already been held in the matter. A ruling on the request is expected in midMay. Before the latest (juvenile) sentence was handed down, Frankie Wikoff, mother of the victims, addressed the court via a tear-filled audio recording. Shying away from the details of the crime, she spoke about the bonds of love she shared with her children, the ever-present sense of loss her remaining family endures and the unnatural state of parents outliving their children. She said her sons were good human beings who were growing into being fine young men.

“There’s been no word created to explain the raw emotion that happens when you lose your children. It’s the only thing in the world that’s untainted — pure, unconditional love between a mother and a child,” she said. “They’re your investment for the future and you would have no problem laying down your life for them a hundred times.”

FESTIVAL FROM PAGE 2

This year’s event will feature the Blue Guitar exhibit, a collection of 22 blue archtops which was previously displayed at the Smithsonian and a screening of the film “The Chisels are Calling,” about guitar builder John Monteleone. Additionally, jazz guitarist Frank Vignola will bring his Big Jersey Guitar Camp to the festival for a four-day workshop open to all players.

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

“The response was so enthusiastic from people who build archtop guitars that I decided we needed to put on a real conference. Archtop builders themselves felt there was an outstanding need to have a show that focuses on the archtop guitar,” Henriksen said. “The first one was a huge success in 2019. Everyone had such a good time we decided we’d do it every year, then 2020 happened.

This is our second one; this will be an annual event.”

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

A show at the Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor at the first Rocky Mountain Archtop Festival.

“Building an archtop is a lot different than building other types of guitars. There’s more carving, the guitars are under a higher tension, it’s a more complicated type of guitar to build and to build properly.

For archtop luthiers, it’s an important context because what they do is specifically more challenging and

complicated than other types of guitars,” Henriksen said.

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

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

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

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

“Part of this is about guitar makers coming and showing off their guitars and getting to know customers. When you’re selling guitars for

$10, $20, $30,000, it should be more about the sound. This is a way for (customers) to meet the luthier as well as see the build quality and hear the guitars,” Simon said.

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

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

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

Can we taco-bout margaritas?

Tips for enjoying America’s favorite cocktail of questionable origin

ABOUT LAS PALMAS Las Palmas 1 Restaurant is a woman-owned business that offers authentic Mexican food to the greater Golden, Colorado area. Describes as Old Mexico with a New Mexico twist, owner Isabel Cañas recreates many of the recipes from her childhood for patrons to enjoy.

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

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

But where did this notso-distant cousin of the Moscow Mule get its start?

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

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

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

Another version of that story says Hererra crafted the cocktail as a gift for his girlfriend, Margarita, who liked to put salt in her drinks.

Others say it was a Texas

socialite who first served the beverage in 1948 at a house party in Mexico.

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

MARGARITAS FROM PAGE 8

American experimentation.

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

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

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

Her house margarita is a perfect example.

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

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

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

Follow your own recipe, indeed.

Some rules of engagement So this Cinco de Mayo, whether you’re a beginner or a pro, there’s a lot more making and enjoying margaritas than just the story.

While the key is always to enjoy yourself responsibly, here are a few suggestions curated from area barkeeps to put you in the know.

• Bottled lime juice. Don’t do it. Fresh limes are non-negotiable.

Concentrated lime juice or anything else that comes off a grocery store shelf can be far too sweet.

Although any fresh lime is better than something from a bottle or frozen can, mixologists insist key limes taste best.

• About that salt. It’s hard to deny. Salt is the ultimate margarita accessory. But like jewelry, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Pros say salt only a portion

Newland said the City has been grappling with the problem for months and hasn’t been able to find a solution that would satisfy all of the interested parties.

So, in an attempt to find some sort of equitable outcome, she said the City has decided to utilize the services of a new city mediator and neighborhood liaison.

To test this new approach, representatives would be appointed from the church and the neighborhood to meet with the mediator.

A representative from the Parks Department also would be present. Lakewood City Council called for a legal representative from the City to be present as well.

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

• Agave nectar or orange liquor. Your choice may be fightin’ words. Some folks swear by the orange cognac-like liquor and its fruity, slightly bitter notes. Others prefer agave for a sweeter stride across the palate.

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

• Bond was right. Not stirred.

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

• Ice, ice baby. And while on the subject of ice, use fresh, clear ice cubes and not crushed ice. Ice cubes that have been in the fridge too long can absorb other flavors and add a funky taste. Crushed ice tends to melt and add extra water.

Springsteen said the City has 1200 parishioners of the church opposed to the road closure, while she only knows of two neighbors making complaints and suggesting the road should be closed.

“Why are we changing it?”

Springsteen asked. “I want the answer to that, please.”

The exchange became heated, leading to a short break. When the meeting resumed, it was explained to Council that the encroachment was an issue the City was taking seriously. It was also pointed out that residents of the area live there and aren’t just inconvenienced for a few minutes each week.

Council member, Wendi Strom (Ward 5), questioned whether a privately owned entity holding sway over publicly owned land could be seen as setting precedent, potentially leading to similar disputes in the future.

Skating around Denver

Alanna Carnevale of Denver’s RiNo neighborhood grew up figure skating. It was about two years ago when she started inline skating, and today, enjoys skating with the DenPHOTO BY CHRISTY STEADMAN ver Urban Skate Troop.

Inline skating group offers group skates every Wednesday WANT TO JOIN?

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Luis Osorio has been inline skating for about 30 years.

He got interested in the sport when he was in his 20s living in New York, and through the years, he has built a community of skate friends who reside around the world.

When Osorio — now a resident of Commerce City — moved to Denver, he went into the Death and Glory Skate Shop to purchase a new pair of inline skates. While there, he inquired about local skate groups, and employees at the shop recommended he look into the Denver Urban Skate Troop.

And ever since then, “I’ve been skating with them every week,” Osorio said.

DUST forms The Denver Urban Skate Troop was founded by Sunnyside resident Rachel Norkin in June 2018. It started out as an informal gathering of about 12-15 people who got together to skate every Wednesday evening, Norkin said. Being one of its kind for inline skating in Denver — other major U.S. cities have robust skate groups — DUST quickly gained popularity through 2019, attracting people from across the Front Range who would come to Denver to skate.

Norkin, 42, a customer success manager for a Denver-based tech company, has been inline skating since she was a kid. She would mostly go to local skate parks — such as to execute tricks — but eventually

noticed more and more people using inline skating as a form of fitness.

“Once you get comfortable with wheels on your feet,” Norkin said, “you can do just about anything and go just about anywhere.”

Like other group activities, DUST went on hiatus during the COVID-19 shutdowns in 2020. But skating in general did not experience a descent during that time, Norkin said. She added that is probably because skating is a relatively low-cost and lowimpact form of exercise that can be done outdoors.

DUST restarted again in May 2021, and today, between 40-60 people attend each week — with the biggest turnout being last summer at Sloan’s Lake when about 100 people attended the skate.

DUST’s Wednesday skates are family-friendly and no pre-registration or membership is required to join a skate. All ages are welcome and there are opportunities for all skill levels and all wheel types — meaning, if they prefer, people can ride a skateboard, scooter or four-wheel, also known as quad, roller skates.

across the metro-area with most of them taking place in Denver proper — Washington Park, City Park, RiNo, to name a few. However, DUST also will also offer routes outside of the metro area on some weekends, such as at Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs, for example.

Because no registration is required, DUST announces its routes through social media. Each announcement will inform people of the route destination — which will be different each week — and what skill level the route is. Skill levels of the routes are defined like ski slope runs: green is beginner/ easy, blue is medium and black is advanced. DUST offers skates year-round. During the Colorado seasons that come with inclement weather, routes are announced on a weekly basis. During the sum-

wheels on their feet are welcome.

(DUST) very much establishes itself as a friend community.”

History of inline skating According to rollerblade.com, “legend has it that the first inline skates date back to the 1700s when a Dutchman attempted to simulate ice skating by nailing wooden spools to strips of wood attached to his shoes.”

Roller skates came about in 1860s and by the 1930s, they “found a permanent place in society,” states rollerblade.com. Roller skates, which are still popular today, dominated skate culture through the 1970s.

“In 1980, two hockey-playing Minnesota brothers discovered an inline skate while rummaging through a sporting goods store and decided that this design would make an ideal off-season hockey-training tool,” states rollerblade.com.

These brothers developed the first trademarked Rollerblade skates. Through the 1980s, the Rollerblade gained popularity, and by 1995, sports on Rollerblades were added to the X Games. However, inline skating sports were removed from the X Games one decade later in 2005.

“When it fell out of the limelight, people started not doing it anymore, at least in the U.S.,” said Billy Arlew, a LoDo resident

An improvement of the fun from the past While the desire to get exercise outdoors during the pandemic can be attributed to some of the comeback of inline skating, Arlew believes the sport started to get people’s attention again about five years prior.

Between roughly 2015 to 2018, tech developments to inline skates began to progress more rapidly than they had ever before.

This new tech includes everything from better boots, such as the liner and shell to make them more comfortable; to wheel sizes and even the number of wheels on an inline skate.

“For the longest time,” Arlew said, “all you could get was the fitness skate or the trick skate.”

Calling it the “big wheel movement,” this is about the time that the tri-skate — three-wheel inline skate — came about, Arlew said.

A bigger wheel, he added, can roll over more types of surfaces better, and can provide more speed.

“Skates are just better now.

They’re more fun (and) they’re easier to skate on,” said Jesse Heilmann, owner of Death and Glory Skate Shop, 935 W. 11th Ave., in Denver’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. “People say, `(rollerblading) was super fun back in the day. Why did I quit that?’ So

(the skates of today) are an improvement of the fun that people used to have in the past.”

When the pandemic hit, people started seeing this new tech on social media — and some of the videos went viral.

“Millions of people saw a rollerblading video,” Arlew said, “something they hadn’t seen for 20-some years.”

Arlew, 35, participated in roller hockey and rollerblading all through high school. In college, he got into mountain biking and BMX biking. He moved to Colorado in 2016 and discovered all the skate parks around and started skateboarding. Eventually, he wanted to get into something new and rediscovered the fun he used to have on inline skates.

“There is an element of nostalgia, but what really comes out is you’re reminded of the freedom you get when skating,” Arlew said. He added that on skates, you’re not strapped in like on a snowboard or propped up like on a bike. “We had that feeling when we were kids, whether we knew it or not.”

Everyone’s welcome DUST remains true to its beginnings — it is still an informal gathering and everyone is welcome, Norkin said.

She is looking forward to “being amazed at how many people will show up” and possibly adding more skates to the calendar.

“We love meeting new people,” Norkin said. “I (especially) enjoy watching people come together

VOICES Things that don’t work

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

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

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

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

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

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

On the other hand, the “allen wrench” system isn’t excellent.

We ordered a cabinet for our living room back in February, and were told at the time that it was likely to arrive in early April. Fine—I get it.

And then the updates started coming in: April 15th; April 23rd; April 29th. May 3rd. And again—fine. It’s irritating, but whatever.

Do you want to guess when it

HITTING HOME

arrived? Last Wednesday…yes, on the same day Jim was finishing up our kitchen. Because there wasn’t enough to do for us that day, and we would have never planned for that conjunction. And even that wouldn’t have been a problem, if we had just been informed that it was scheduled to arrive. Instead, I just got an update via email this morning: its arrival has been pushed out until May 11.

What do I mean by “allen wrench” system? That’s my own shorthand for the world of “some assembly required” home projects that are bizarrely dependent on those annoying little hexagonal, L-shaped pieces of metal which pass (poorly) for tools. Allen wrenches don’t work.

You know what else doesn’t work?

Glass and tile drill bits. I’ll save that story for a much later time.

Sitting here, writing, while watching the NFL draft. Speaking of things that work… the National Football League works! Think about this night, which is just the first of what has morphed over the years into a three-day spectacle. On this night, 32 young men were “hired” by

May 5, 2022

NFL teams; statistically speaking, only 8 of them are going to be great (“All Pro”); only 13 of them are likely to have very good years ever (“Pro Bowl”); and somewhere around 10 of them are going to be fired soon.

In other words, there is likely nowhere in sports an event given more importance and more hype, with as little correlation to success. And yet, tomorrow we’re going to read that the television ratings for this event far exceed any of the N.B.A. playoff games, the World Series, or any soccer or hockey event you want to mention.

And, while I’m on sports, Nikola Jokic works. Like… wow, works. Will Barton, not so much.

Have a great week. Make things work.

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

B

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

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

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

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

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

As a colon cancer survivor, I know

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

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

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

The federal Multi Cancer Early De-

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

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

See it first at SeriesFest season 8

hat can’t television do?

The answer to that question used to be obvious. These days? Not so much. Modern shows can have just as high production value as blockbusters, entice the same A-list talent as Oscar-bait dramas and be just as sophisticated as any auteur-driven production.

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

“It’s really, really exciting to be back and have the industry converging in Denver,” said Randi Kleiner, cofounder and CEO of SeriesFest. “This will be our sixth in-person festival and we’ve grown exponentially every year to a more global audience.”

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

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

“We have a nice mix of things to watch on screen and other events that provide audiences the chance to see how these works get made,” said Claire Taylor, director of programming. “We’ve seen the industry do a lot of shifting and we’re seeing a demand for social change and a level playing field.”

Some of the highlights from this year’s event include: Changing the Narrative: Focus on Indigenous Representation in Television on May 6 Jennifer Loren (director of the Cherokee Nation Film Office & Original Content.), Stacey Rice (casting director), and Sierra Teller Ornelas

(co-creator/showrunner of “Rutherford Falls”) discuss modern Native American representation.

Centerpiece Benefit Red Rocks Event on May 8 One of the highlights of the festival every year, this Red Rocks concert will Clarke Reader feature comedian and late-night host Amber Ruffin and a performance by Lake Street Dive.

A timeline of Colorado Parks & Wildlife history

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

LOCAL

May 5, 2022

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

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

Wanting to preserve Colora-

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

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

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

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

1897

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

1903

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

1913

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

1916

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

1940

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

1949

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

1959

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

TIMELINE FROM PAGE 16

1960

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

1961

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

1963

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

1965

Bears are declared a game animal in Colorado.

1970

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

1972

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

1972

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

1975

Chatfield State Park is established.

1977

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

1978

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

1978

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

1980

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

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

1990

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

2013

Staunton State Park opens to the public.

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

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

2021

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

2021

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

How state youths use free mental health service

BY DANA KNOWLES, BRIAN WILLIE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

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

“Therapy allows a space for people to feel accepted and understood. I feel that it’s a space for them to truly be their genuine selves.

Sometimes they share about walking in the world and having to hide,” said Lua. Lua is a therapist working with I Matter Colorado, a program that provides funding for six free therapy sessions for all young people in Colorado under the age of 18 (under 21 for those receiving special education services).

Often times, therapy can cost anywhere from $100 to $150 per hour, and Lua says I Matter Colorado helps eliminate that financial barrier.

“Especially if you have multiple children and you’d like all of them to get services, you might feel like you need to prioritize one versus the other,” said Lua. I Matter is the state’s response to a growing mentalhealth crisis facing so many young people who are trying to navigate life during a

16-year-old Aarav Varma utilized a Colorado program that provides six free therapy sessions to youth.

pandemic. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mental health emergency room visits increased from 2019 to 2020 by 25% for young people aged 5-11 and 31% for adolescents aged 12-17. The leading cause of death for people aged 10 to 24 in Colorado is suicide.

Aarav Varma is a 16-yearold sophomore in high school. He said the isolation he experienced during school lockdowns was almost unbearable, “COVID

shaped me as a person and it tore me apart being online — it hurt so much I was feeling down every day.”

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

The program is the first of its kind in the country.

Gov. Jared Polis signed a bipartisan bill this past July

that provided $9 million to the Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health to facilitate I Matter. So far 1,923 youth have utilized one session, 1,221 have had two sessions, and 753 have had three or more sessions. 141 therapists are available.

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

“They are able to log on themselves and they are able

to read through the profiles of the clinicians and they decide who they feel connected to and who they want to see,” she explained.

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

“We do have a ray of hope, there’s a ray of light that we can see finally. We are not alone in this. I Matter is the true thing that can help kids feel like they are not alone.

No one is ever alone,” he said.

Now that Varma is going to school in person, he can get back to exploring some of the things he loves like graphic design, chemistry and creating things. He says he might go into the psychiatric field when he grows up to help other people with their mental health struggles.

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

Colorado finds ‘forever chemicals’ in Colorado fish State says fish in El Paso, Adams and Jefferson counties contaminated

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

720.898.7200

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

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

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

All of the fish contained a form of PFAS, used to make nonstick utensils, firefighting foam and countless

consumer products, though state officials say there is as yet no federal or local standard warning at what level of PFAS that fish should not be eaten.

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

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

Willow Springs Pond also had by far the highest concentration of forever chemicals in samples of the water itself, well above the EPA’s current drinking water guideline of 70 parts per trillion. Fish sampled included perch, carp, sunfish, northern pike and more.

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

‘... there needs to be more surface water testing, and fish sampling, and testing of wildlife that consume fish to evaluate the impact that PFAS chemicals have on our food web systems.’

on aquatic species and wildlife.

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

“A small fish sample is a step in the right direction for determining the scope of the PFAS contamination issue in Colorado,” Blayney said. “However, there needs to be more surface water testing, and fish sampling, and testing of wildlife that consume fish to evaluate the impact that PFAS chemicals have on our food web systems.”

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

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

“The project has a number of limitations and was too small to determine whether PFAS in the fish sampled are high enough to harm human health,” according to the study summary from the Colorado

Department of Public Health and Environment. “CDPHE will continue to share information and take action to protect and notify the public as we work with federal, state, and local partners to conduct additional testing of PFAS in fish and find innovative solutions to protect Coloradans.”

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

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

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

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

Richardson said.

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

implemented here.

Efforts to identify the alarming extent of PFAS pollution in Colorado, and how to set limits on water or food consumption, are underway on multiple fronts. Colorado is among the first states to require certain industries to limit PFAS emissions in their water discharge permits, with a recommended permit requiring cuts at the Suncor Energy refinery currently under review. Suncor’s discharge goes into Sand Creek, and then immediately into the South Platte River.

Colorado also has community water sampling programs underway in areas known or suspected to be impacted, concentrated heavily in areas where runoff from airfield firefighting foam or wildfire firefighting materials may have impacted local water supplies. The state is also implementing grant programs where it agrees to take PFAS firefighting foam off the hands of local firefighting departments if they can find effective alternatives.

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

own drinking water standard.

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

Fountain, where the El Paso fish samples were taken, had to shut down its municipal water supply in 2015 after PFAS was detected, replacing it with supplies from a cleaner Pueblo Reservoir. The city eventually began treating its water sources with PFAS-removing materials supplied by the U.S. Air Force, where much of the firefighting foam runoff originated.

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

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

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

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

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

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

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

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

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

“We don’t see speculation,” said Joe Frank, director of the Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District in northeastern Colorado.

“Instead we see pressure from municipal providers buying up agricultural supply for future dryups.”

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

Water courts require those filing

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

State water experts say unanswered questions include how long a water buyer has to use the right before selling it to another party without the deal being considered an illegal flip. There is also no clear consequence if a buyer later changes the use of the water that they expressed when acquiring the water right.

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

Coram claimed in backing the bill last week that it’s already happening.

He pointed to Water Asset Management, an out-of-state investor that has bought up shares in the Grand Valley Water Users Association. The New York investor currently leases

the water rights back to local farmers, has said it is involved in agriculture for the long term, and has worked on water conservation improvements. But Coram said there’s little to stop the investor from getting paid by downstream states to let the water flow down the Colorado River instead of watering in-state crops.

Those wanting to curb speculation also bring up the San Luis Valley, where private investors from the Front Range want to use well water rights they’ve bought up to pipe over to Douglas County or other fastgrowing suburban buyers.

“Somehow, somewhere, we need to put the guardrails on to protect the water for the people of Colorado,” Coram said. He noted he has worked on anti-speculation legislation unsuccessfully since 2019, and that at the current pace, the legislature won’t do anything until “after the water has already left the state.”

Donovan said increasing drought and growth pressures threaten Colorado with a compact call in coming years, meaning state or

federal authorities will cut off local uses of Colorado River water to satisfy agreements with Lower Basin states like California, Nevada and Arizona. When Colorado needs to find water in a compact call, Donovan said, the state should not “find ourselves negotiating in a time of crisis with someone who just wants the highest price.”

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

“I was hopeful that by having a bill we’d force conversation,” she said.

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

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

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

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

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

While everyone generally agrees that something needs to be done to reduce Coloradans’ property tax tabs, there is a wide chasm when it comes to how and how much. As of

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Tuesday, the policy details of the deal were still very much in flux.

The legislation could come in

many different forms, including a property valuation rate reduction.

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

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

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

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

vide the most relief.”

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

Those involved in the discussions this year have said they are essentially negotiating under threat: if they don’t pass a property tax relief bill, Colorado Concern SEE LEGISLATURE, P23

LEGISLATURE FROM PAGE 22

could move forward with a measure siphoning as much as $1.3 billion in expected tax revenue from local coffers in its first year.

“It’s kind of an unfortunate way of having conversations about what the proper policy is for moving forward,” said House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver.

“It’s not a great way of governing. It’s not the best way of doing business.”

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

Colorado Concern, however, sees its proposal — which would cap property valuation increases at roughly 3% for taxation purposes — as that permanent solution.

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

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

Progressives, meanwhile, led

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

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

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

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

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

“I don’t think they have nearly

as strong a hand as they are publicly saying they are,” Wasserman said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

‘There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen.

We just need to get (the bill) right before we introduce it.’

Colorado has models for universal preschool Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Florida and Vermont may serve as examples

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

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

All of them have encountered the same tricky task Colorado leaders now face as they try to knit together a disparate patchwork of public and private preschools into an equitable and high-quality statewide system. We’ll take a look at some of the lessons learned in four states: Florida, Oklahoma, Vermont and Wisconsin.

Some, like Oklahoma, have offered the program for decades, while others, like Vermont — one of the few places to offer free preschool to all 3- and 4-year-olds — have joined the club more recently.

Wisconsin officials said they don’t consider their preschool program universal because school districts don’t have to offer the state-funded classes, though 99% do.

Colorado’s universal preschool program will offer 10 hours a week to all 4-year-olds, with children who have higher needs eligible for more. Funding will come from Colorado’s existing state-funded preschool program, which is for

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

children from low-income families, or who have language delays, or other risk factors, and proceeds from a voter-approved nicotine tax.

Advocates in the four states cited ongoing challenges in everything from ensuring high-quality offerings to making part-day preschool work for families, but they also said the programs are generally popular. In all four states, at least 70% of 4-year-olds participated prior to the pandemic.

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

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

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

“The half-day format is a nightmare for at least a third of all the parents we surveyed,” she said.

“It’s curious to me in today’s day and age that people imagine that a half day would work.“ When universal preschool originally launched in Florida, the vision was to offer both a 3-hour

and a 6-hour preschool day, but there was never enough funding for the longer day, said Madeleine Thakur, president of the advocacy group, The Children’s Movement of Florida. Some schools — those that receive federal funds for lowincome students — cover the extra cost of full-day preschool for some students, but the coveted spots are in short supply.

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

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

Teacher qualification conundrum The four states profiled have various requirements for universal preschool teachers — Oklahoma and Wisconsin require them to have bachelor’s degrees, while Florida does not. Vermont is something of a hybrid — requiring bachelor’s SEE PRESCHOOL, P32

Golden boys lacrosse grabs first conference victory

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

year is what mattered today.”

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

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

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

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

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

Dennis Pleuss is the sports information director for Jeffco Public Schools.

PRESCHOOL FROM PAGE 24

degrees for universal preschool teachers in public school settings, but not for all teachers in private settings.

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

The National Institute for Early Education Research, which ranks states annually on preschool access and funding, includes bachelor’s degree requirements among 10 benchmarks showing whether states have key quality standards in place. Experts say preschool can produce short- and long-term benefits for kids, but only if it’s high quality.

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

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

Carlson’s advice to Colorado:

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

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

Who’s got access?

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

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

The goal should be to “put children and families at the center,” she said. “Then don’t let paperwork or artificial boundaries” get in the way.

Joe Dorman, CEO at the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy, said reaching rural children has been a struggle in his

state. In some cases, it’s because of preschool staff shortages or a dearth of seats, but there are also some families who don’t see the value of preschool, he said.

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

Dorman said Colorado should educate parents about the free preschool program before children turn 4.

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

Preschool and K-12: separate or together?

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

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

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

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

down payment for the kindergarten teacher.”

Colorado’s existing preschool program is administered by school districts and 77% of students attend the program in public school classrooms, but planned changes could shake up public schools’ role in universal preschool.

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

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

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

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

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

‘This is Coloradans’ money, and we’re making sure that we make government efficient in getting those dollars back to them as soon as possible. These checks will help people immediately.’

BY ALISON BERG ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Menah Elsarrag can pay off a small portion of her student loans. Diane Hopkins can drive to Southern Colorado to visit her family and explore the outdoors.

Anne Tincaid can put more money toward a vacation in Mexico, where she hopes to go snorkeling.

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

Gov. Jared Polis announced April 25 that Colorado taxpayers will be receiving a cashback rebate later this year. Individuals will receive $400 while joint filers will get $800. The money will be sent out between late August and early September, Polis said.

“We know that this last year has been difficult with rising prices,” Polis said in a news conference announcing the action.

The money comes from a clause in the Colorado Taxpayer Bill of Rights, which gives the state legislature power to determine how to refund excess tax revenue to those who pay it.

“This is Coloradans’ money, and we’re making sure that we make government efficient in getting those dollars back to them as soon as possible,” House Speaker Alec Garnett, a Democrat, said in the news conference. “These checks will help people immediately.”

The money would have come to Colorado taxpayers in April 2023, but Garnett, Polis and Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno emphasized that the money is coming now because Coloradans are being hit by skyrocketing

Alec Garnett, Colorado House Speaker

rent costs, difficulty buying homes, inflating childcare costs and higher gas and food prices.

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

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

“It’s better than not having an extra $400, but it doesn’t go far enough,” said Thomas Law, a Denver resident and a service worker at Union Station. “It’s not a lot in the grand scheme of things, as an adult in Denver.”

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

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

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

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

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

ably go get myself some nice flowers, though.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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