Je erson County nonprofits receive unexpected $350K in grants from Community First Foundation

Internal investigation fails to find cause of December Je cowide shelter-inplace order

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

Several recipients said the funds were a complete surprise.

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

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

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

Community First Foundation con rmed the grants ranged from

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

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

According to a press release from Jeffcom 911, Jeffco’s communication authority, human error was ruled out. Rave Mobile Safety, which provides the infrastructure for sending out the alerts, was unable to replicate the situation causing the alert being distributed too wide, according to the press release. The internal investigation found that the filter meant to limit the amount of residents that received the alert was not applied, but again, for reasons unknown.

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

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

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

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Je co Clerk and Recorder George Stern, who was voted into o ce four years ago after winning against 20-year incumbent Faye Gri n, will be leaving o ce this month. He sees his job as done, and time for someone new to come in.

Colorado Community Media spoke with Stern to ask how he’s changed the o ce and what the future might hold for him.

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

George Stern: I had never worked in a clerk and recorder o ce before, I had never run a DMV or helped administer elections before, so I did not have any directly relevant experience and I think that gave some folks some loss when I showed interest in this o ce.

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

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

GS: I’m perfectly comfortable saying our politics are broken, I think we see that at every level. But, I think one of the things that I feel strongly about is that too many people today run for o ce to be

someone, not to do something. And, as a result, make a lot of noise, do whatever they can to get coverage of that noise and end up driving us farther apart, making things more divisive, and not really having the government do good for people.

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

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

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

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

GS: What I had was much less speci c and much more high level — it was a method of building a 21st-century Clerk and Recorder’s O ce. We run the DMV. e DMV is, in most people’s minds, the worst government agency that exists, and then you ask them why and it’s long lines, and long waits, and people just having to come in-person and stand around in a lobby and wait for an hour and a half and then be told you don’t have the right paperwork and be sent away and have to come back and do it all over again.

So that’s obviously broken

January is Blood Donor Month, and donations are needed

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

According to the American Red Cross, the winter months are the most di cult months to collect blood donations, which is why January has been designated as National Blood Donor Month.  e American Red Cross, America’s Blood Centers and the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies are encouraging people to schedule appointments to donate blood in 2023.

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

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

People need blood transfusions for a

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

Kuper also explained there are di erent types of blood donations, including whole blood, power red, platelet and plasma donations. Information on the di erent types of donations can be found on the American Red Cross’ website.

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

Harvesting ‘Atmospheric Rivers’ to Replenish Aquifers & Fill Reservoirs

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

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

I’m reminded of those amazing 20th

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

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

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

Media Literacy Needs to Be Taught in High Schools

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

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

Every citizen, not just high school

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

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

No one likes to be duped, right?

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

Historically, reservoir operators have

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lakewood Day Work program to bring transitional jobs and services to the unhoused

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s estimated by Je erson County that about 500 people were experiencing homelessness last year in the county on a single night, with Lakewood being the most populous city in the county. Beginning early this year, the city will start a program to bring transitional jobs to these people, and help them nd more permanent ones.

e city received almost $230,000 in funding from the Community First Foundation to help start a day work program that will not only pay unhoused people by the day to help with city cleanup e orts but will provide wrap-around services such as meals, transportation to job sites, showers, laundry and more.

“On the city council one of our main goals is homelessness, and this really punches through not only for providing jobs, job assistance, job training, dignity — all these things that come with the program — but, also some fatigue within the community about the trash and some of the things they’re seeing along our major corridors,” Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul said. “So, I really thought this would be a win-win.”

e program will be operated by Bayaud, a company that has already run similar programs in Adams County and Aurora, running

the day-to-day operations such as accounting and taxes for the wages, as well as the job training, recruitment and other services.

According to Frank Cordova, associate director of Day Works Programs at Bayaud, the company will provide transportation to and from each work site via their Lakewood o ce on Dover Street. Work would be six hours a day, three days a week, with wages being $85 paid cash daily — or about $14.16 per hour — and include breakfast and lunch. Laundry and shower services also would be available.  ese jobs are likely to be park clean up and drainage clearing — among other similar tasks for the Parks and Recreation Department and possibly the library system — according to Cordova.

e program is designed to be 10 weeks long for participants, with a six-person crew rotating out with a six-to-ten-person wait list as people nish or leave the program — rst come, rst serve. e program is expected to serve 75 people in its entirety.

e services from Bayaud will include creating individual plans for employment with each person in the program, and Cordova said it will start while people are on the waitlist. is consists of asking people about their current situation, interests and dream jobs, teaching job readiness skills such as resume writing and running mock interviews, and guidance through hiring processes for other agencies and more permanent jobs.

“Within that 10-week period, based on the programming they do at the end of their work day, we’re hoping they’ll have permanent employment,” said Cordova. “And any of the bene ts that they are seeking would be in place by the end of that

10-week period.”

e navigation services, such as housing referrals and help with bene ts applications, would also continue after their employment period with the program.

Cordova also pointed out that Bayaud has begun outreach already, attending monthly community court dates meant for unhoused people, as well as being reached out to by parole o cers in Lakewood.

is is not the rst attempt with a day work program though. A small 90-day pilot program with only a handful of workers was operating through the West Colfax Business Improvement District. Cordova said the broader Lakewood program will absorb it. Bayaud also runs a Day Work program in Denver and Adams County.

Paul pointed to a change in priorities with the current council as a reason the program has started to come to fruition after raising it as a possibility at the annual Metro Mayors Caucus two years ago.

“When this new group came on last November, and we had our rst retreat, we were really able to push homelessness to the top,” he said.

“I wouldn’t say there was a huge barrier, but more of an understanding that this is the real deal, and we need to be doing a lot of di erent things in this arena.”

He also highlighted the grant from Community First as making the program a lot easier to start, as budgeting through the city alone for nearly $250,000 would have taken a lot longer, he said.

“I believe that single-handedly this will provide so much opportunity for our community,” Paul said. “It’s going to be so good not only for the unhoused but all of our residents.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Missing, Murdered, Remembered at NEXT Gallery

Q&A with artist

R. Matthew Bollinger

BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Missing Indigenous women was the start and murdered Black men the catalyst for R. Matthew Bollinger’s latest project, Missing, Murdered, Remembered. Being exhibited at NEXT Gallery in Lakewood through Jan. 22, Bollinger — who lives and teaches in Navajo Nation — wanted to present the troubles he saw missing from the public eye and the racism that lies behind them.

The Jeffco Transcript spoke with Bollinger about his project. Answers have been edited for brevity and clarity.

Jeffco Transcript: How long have you been working on the project?

R. Matthew Bollinger: The idea came years ago, but I actually started the work after I saw George Floyd murdered on social media. That’s when I really began the project. And the project really has two tangents: the murdered men and the missing woman.

The missing women idea had come previously, but somehow I didn’t have the confidence to move forward with that particular aspect of the project until I saw Geroge Floyd murdered. That really gave me the confidence to move forward with all of these

New Family Planning

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

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

• Establishing an effective Will or Trust

• Having Powers of Attorney drafted for times of incapacity

• Naming a Guardian and Conservator over your little ones

• Properly designating beneficiaries of your assets

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

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

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

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

works, so it’s probably been two or three years now since everything got going with this exhibition.

JT: And the project is looking at racism?

RMB: I would say racial violence, yes. Being witness to the racial violence on the internet and within the community and practice I’m living in.

I really live in the American southwest. I end up driving around a lot, but I actually work and live also in the Navajo Nation. So I would hear these stories from the students and faculty, becoming just a little bit more familiar with the circumstances of these missing indigenous women, and the disproportionate rates that these women were disappearing.

But also just the fact that they’re sort of unsolved crimes, and they’re not really crimes that are high on the radar. A lot has to do with jurisdiction, with really the only organizations that can come onto the Navajo Nation is Federal — to investigate. These women were disappearing and it would end there essentially.

JT: You say missing women was the start of the project: was there a specific moment or just building up over time?

RMB: Not a particular woman. It seemed just not as well documented, or in the eye of the public. The moments were kind of happening over time.

I work on the Navajo Nation, teaching art to Native American students, and this was high on

their radar. So, I would see a lot of my students thinking about this issue, talking about it and being concerned about it, so that’s kind of how it came onto my radar.

The other aspect is that I’m married to a Navajo woman, so we’ve had conversations about all this as well. The personal connection for me is not only working with these students but also my own wife.

JT: Do you think being white brings a tone to the project?

RMB: Absolutely. Somehow I felt it was part of my responsibility instead of remaining silent on these issues, to essentially take a position.

Within my artist statement, I’m being completely transparent on my experience of being a white male while doing this type of work. The work itself really takes white culture into accountability. The photographs that are being used to print these assemblages on canvas are old photographs of white culture essentially — they’re 80 to 100 years old, so there’s a lot of privilege involved.

At some point I found that conceptual connection between the content and the history of the photographs, and the argument or critique that I was trying to create with the work in the exhibition.

The deconstruction of the photographs kind of speak to that idea of essentially deconstructing structural racism in the United States. There’s a real aspect of reconstructing these photographs into something else.

FROM

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

It was more, ‘this office is in bad need of modernization, so let’s do it.’ Most of the things that we did were not my ideas, they were mostly front-line employee ideas. They’ve been doing this for a long time, they’ve been saying this for a long time, they

just didn’t have someone willing to listen to them and put it into place.

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

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

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

People’s expectations change, and the way that we can serve constituents changes, and we

should keep improving on that.

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

CCM: What are your plans for the future?

GS: I wish I knew, but I don’t. Most immediately, I’ve got a twoyear-old and a seven-month-old who I’m going to spend a lot more time with, and I’m going to start to figure out what’s next.

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

And, most of them are going to stay on long after I’m gone which is a great thing for the county.

Jumping into 2023

Evergreen Lake Plunge was

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

Evergreen Lake Plunge participants lined up from the lake through the parking lot, waiting their turn to brave the frigid water to start 2023.

is year, the plunge had the most participants in its 14-year history: 423. Compare that to last year’s 177 plungers.

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

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

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

seem to want to just get away from their devices and go jump in a lake. We’re all about it.”

First in line were sisters Stephanie Suzanne and Kelley Graham of Denver. eir rst time plunging, the two attended church together in Evergreen before heading for the lake. ey wore swimsuits and leggings under their church clothes, plus they brought warm clothes to change into after the plunge.

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

Boys basketball team hoping to collect 3,000 items

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

All items will be donated to BGOLDN, formerly known as the

Golden backpack program, which supports local children and families experiencing food insecurity.

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

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

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

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

chicken.

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

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

Economic pessimism persists among businesses

BY SARAH MULHOLLAND COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Colorado’s business leaders are stuck in a glum mood about the economy’s prospects for the year ahead.

More than half of respondents to the Leeds Business Con dence index

think the U.S. will enter a recession in the rst half of 2023. e index is a quarterly survey of business leaders that is conducted by economists at the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business. In ation and rising interest rates are the leading concerns of those surveyed. e economic forecast feels dim

even though the job market is solid — the state’s unemployment rate is 3.5% — and other indicators, such as gross domestic product, are stronger than had been anticipated a year ago. e state’s business leaders appear to be looking at their own internal numbers and seeing a slowdown, however, even if the broader data isn’t showing it yet, said Richard Wobbekind, senior economist and faculty director of CU’s business research division.

“ ere just continues to be, I think, just too much uncertainty,” Wobbekind said during a conference call with reporters Wednesday.

Respondents are feeling pessimistic about nearly all the indicators included in the index, such as sales,

pro ts, hiring and capital expenditures. Indeed, more than half had a negative sales outlook for the rst quarter of 2023.

“So de nitely, in terms of sales, not pretty,” Wobbekind said. “Businesses are looking at the environment that they’re in and suggesting… weaker sales and weaker pro ts.”

On a positive note, more than half of respondents expect the supply chain problems that have wreaked havoc on U.S. businesses and consumers since the start of the pandemic will continue to ease in 2023.

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

BY SAM BRASCH COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Gov. Jared Polis is pushing lawmakers to make it even cheaper for Colorado residents to buy an electric car, electric bike or electric lawnmower.  e governor announced the plan as an amendment to his 2023-2024 budget proposal on Jan. 3. Ahead of the upcoming legislative session, he now wants legislators to approve $120 million in new tax credits to nudge the public to buy products that combat climate change and air pollution.

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

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

“ is is not the general fund. is is tax credits,” Polis said.

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

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

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

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

e new law renewed a $7,500 federal EV tax credit but added a long

list of restrictions. Starting around March, a buyer can get half the full credit if a vehicle has a battery with at least 40 percent of minerals from the United States or its trade partners. e other half is only available if 50 percent of the battery components are made in North America.

ose rules could exclude many EV models. To account for the new policies, many automakers have announced plans to shift supply chains and build new factories in the U.S., but it could take years for their vehicles to qualify for the federal discounts.

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

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

Meanwhile, the Polis administration has proposed a modi ed version of the same regulations. While it includes many of California’s aggressive electric vehicle sales targets, it drops the 2035 ban.

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

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

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

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

Governor wants tax credits to make purchases cheaper

Wildfire risk is so high some homeowners can’t get insured

Last resort coverage considered

BY JESSE PAUL AND OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

State lawmakers are preparing to introduce a bill in the legislature that would create a quasi-governmental program o ering basic home insurance to the growing number of Colorado homeowners who say they can’t get coverage from private companies because the risk of wild re is growing.

e Colorado Division of Insurance has elded dozens of calls and emails, many of them since August, from Coloradans who say they have been turned down by private home insurers. e situation presents the specter of nancial calamity for people whose homes are their primary asset and for communities that lean on real estate as an economic engine.

Without home insurance, it’s impossible to secure a mortgage, which dramatically limits who can buy or sell a home. ere’s also immense nancial risk in owning a property without insurance coverage.

e problem is especially acute in high country communities, but Coloradans who live on the Front Range, particularly those near where the Marshall re destroyed more than 1,000 homes in December 2021,

are also reporting problems securing coverage for their properties.

The Marshall fire: One year later

It has been one year since the Marshall re destroyed hundreds of houses and businesses in parts of Louisville, Superior and Boulder County. One year of sorting through what was lost. One year of trying to create a new normal. And one year of making a new home.

“We can see the handwriting on the wall that we’re starting to have a problem,” said state Rep. Judy Amabile, a Boulder Democrat who is taking the lead on the prospective legislation, which is expected to be introduced at the Capitol after the legislature reconvenes next month for its 2023 lawmaking term.

Colorado one of a few states that do not have a so-called home insurer of last resort, or “fair plan,” created by the government. Michael Conway, Colorado’s insurance commissioner, said that’s because Colorado hasn’t needed one — until now.

Colorado’s three largest wild res by acreage all happened in 2020. And before that the 2012 Waldo Canyon re and 2013 Black Forest re, both in El Paso County, each destroyed hundreds of homes. en came the Marshall re, Colorado’s most destructive in terms of the number of homes destroyed. More than $2 billion in insurance claims are expected to be led in connection with the Marshall re.

“We just haven’t had natural disasters of the magnitude of states like the Gulf Coast states in particular,” Conway told e Colorado Sun. “It was probably a year and a half ago that I was in front of one of the insurance committees at the state legislature and they asked if we had (homeowners’ insurance) availability problems in the state that I was worried about, and I honestly could say at that point that no we didn’t. We didn’t have issues.”

But late in the summer his o ce started to hear complaints from homeowners that they couldn’t get their properties insured. What really sounded the alarm was when independent insurance agents started telling state regulators they couldn’t nd coverage for their clients. If they can nd coverage, it can sometimes be outrageously expensive.

Jim Kinser, an insurance broker in Steamboat Springs, told e Sun about a single-family home in Routt County that was previously insured for an annual premium between $3,000 to $4,000. When a new owner bought the property over the summer and planned to remodel the house, no insurance company would write them a homeowner’s policy until the house was renovated with re-resistant materials and brush cleared from its perimeter. e home was uninsured for months in the meantime.

In Pitkin County, home to Aspen, Kniser said a homeowner’s coverage was not renewed by their insurance company and no other carrier would provide coverage at any price.

“It’s getting to be more and more di cult to nd carriers who will say ‘yes, we’ll take it,’” Kinser said. “And people need insurance.”

State Sen.-elect Dylan Roberts, an Avon Democrat, said di culty obtaining property insurance is “the No. 1 thing I’m hearing from my constituents.” In the high country, where there’s already a housing crisis, there are fears that homeowners insurance problems and rising costs could further limit the lack of a ordable places to live.

Conway says the legislature must act fast to prevent Coloradans from having to go without coverage.

“If the issues that we’re seeing now aren’t remedied by the private insurance market fairly expeditiously, we are going to have to set something up pretty quickly,” he said.

But the private insurance industry is urging caution, saying that if Colorado acts too fast and makes mistakes, insurance companies may pull out of the state altogether.

“ e stakes are very high,” said Carole Walker, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association, an industry trade group. “It just feels like we’re rushing to the solution without adequately studying it. If there is going to be a fair plan or last-resort legislation this year, let’s make sure we’re basing it on really being a very targeted solution at a targeted problem.”

Walker said that anecdotes alone shouldn’t drive the legislature. “We certainly have to understand what our gaps are and what our problems are,” she said.

And given the high stakes, the debate over a state-run or statecreated property insurance program could be one of the most technically complicated and politically heated policy battles at the Colorado Capitol in 2023.

How it works in other states

State-run or state-created insurers of last resort started cropping up in the 1960s in coastal and urban areas

where property owners faced high risks — from riots, res and hurricanes — and couldn’t get traditional coverage from private insurance companies, said Mark Friedlander, a spokesman for the Insurance Information Institute, another insurance industry trade group.

ere are such programs in 32 states and the District of Columbia. While each operates di erently, they generally fall into two groups: plans subsidized by taxpayers and plans funded by private insurers.  e plans are often costlier and o er less coverage than the average private insurance policy, Friedlander said. “ ey typically do not include liability coverage, which is a component of a standard home insurance policy,” he said.

e purpose of the plans is simply to ensure that people can get some level of coverage — hence the “insurer of last resort” moniker.

Florida’s Citizens Property Insurance Corporation is the biggest state-managed property insurance program in the U.S. In August, the nonpro t funded by policyholders surpassed 1 million policies and became the largest property insurer in the state. Nearly 28 million people live in Florida.

Homeowners are only eligible for coverage from the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation if they cannot get coverage from a Florida-authorized insurance company or if the premiums from a Florida-authorized insurance company are more than 20% higher than the premiums for comparable coverage from Citizens.

In California, homeowners can only get insurance under the state’s “FAIR Plan” if they can’t get coverage from a private company after a “diligent search.” And homeowners must repeat that search annually. e policies o ered under California’s plan are handled by private insurers who operate in the state, who are required to cover a proportion of FAIR Plan policies equal to their share of normal policies in California.

“For most homeowners, the FAIR Plan is a temporary safety net — here to support them until coverage o ered by a traditional carrier becomes available,” the FAIR Plan website says. As of 2020, less than 3% of California residents were covered under the plan.

e private insurance industry often points to the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation as an example of a state-run property insurance program gone wrong because of how many people left the private market to seek coverage from Citizens. Insurance companies use customer premiums to create a pool of money from which they can pay out claims. Fewer customers means a smaller pool.

Florida’s legislature met for a special lawmaking term in December to tweak the program and set aside billions for initiatives aimed at bolstering the private insurance market.

“Google Florida and their plan and it will be what not to do,” Walker said.

Conway said he is starting from the premise that a state-run or created property insurance program in Colorado should not compete with the private insurance market.

“I think it’s kind of a misnomer to call (these programs) an insurer of last resort,” he said. “It puts the idea in people’s head that it’s going to actually be in a true insurance company. And they’re really not. ey’re really kind of a safety net for people that are organized by their state governments in order to help them in the situation where they can’t nd homeowners insurance coverage.” at may be cold comfort for Coloradans who are paying exorbitant costs for property insurance.

Jim Noon is the former treasurer of the Bu alo Ridge-Bu alo Village condominium complex homeowners association in Summit County. He thought a tree clearing near the 270unit complex — called a re break — that stopped a wild re in 2018 would prevent the complex’s insurance rates from climbing too high.

Earlier this year, the HOA accepted a $200,000 property insurance bid and paid the amount.

“ en, three days into the coverage, they just said nevermind and handed us the check back,” Noon said.

He said the insurance agent hadn’t looked to see if the complex was in an area at risk for wild re before agreeing to provide coverage.

Scrambling to nd a new insurer, the HOA found a carrier that o ered insurance for about $1 million. It covered only half of the total value of the complex if it burned to the ground, Noon said, and the policy didn’t cover wind or water damage.

Others are struggling to get the insurance they feel is adequate for their home.

Tim Anderson, who lives in Steamboat Springs, spent nearly $1 million to build his 3,000-square-foot house in 2016, complete with custom brickwork and cabinets, and a sauna. One insurance agent argued it would cost $349,000 to rebuild his home, while another said it would cost $500,000.

“How is that possible? When I built this house ve years ago, it cost me roughly $900,000, a million dollars. It’s not possible the house can be rebuilt with $350,000. at’s just laughable,” Anderson said.

Eventually, Anderson — who has worked as an insurance underwriter for 40 years — found a local agent who understood local building costs and insured his home at $1.8 million.

“You can nd the insurance,” he said. “ e problem is getting insurance to the proper value.”

“We haven’t settled on anything yet”

Views on whether Colorado needs a government property insurance program have shifted rapidly.

Gov. Jared Polis, during a debate hosted by e Sun and CBS4 in October, said he wasn’t sold on a staterun or created homeowners’ insurance program being a good idea for Colorado. His main priority, he said, is to reduce the risk of wild res.

“ ere’s proven technologies to do that, whether it’s simply taking down trees and brush around your home, construction materials, especially in the wildland-urban interface near open areas,” he said. “And if we do that successfully, we will be able to drive down insurance rates for every Coloradan.”

Now, Conway — a member of Polis’ cabinet — has made the governor’s administration intimately involved in the discussions over how to create an insurer of last resort in

Colorado.

ere are signs Republicans in the legislature, who are traditionally opposed to government growth, won’t necessarily ght the proposal.

“I do think it is an appropriate role for government to have some kind of a backstop,” said state Sen.-elect Mark Baisley, a Woodland Park Republican who represents an area west of Colorado Springs that’s prone to wild res. “While I hate for the government to get any more involved than necessary in private industry, I think we do need to work pretty aggressively with insurance companies to get them to provide the coverage that people need.”

Baisley is separately working with Amabile on underinsurance issues in Colorado.

e conversations around how Colorado’s state-run or state-created property insurance program would be formed are still in a relatively early stage.

“ ere’s a lot of di erent ways to do it and we haven’t settled on anything yet,” Amabile said. “ ese policies are not going to be deluxe policies. It’s going to be very bare bones. It’s going to be limited coverage and it’s going to be expensive.”

She said Colorado lawmakers will look to other states as they draft Colorado’s plan. “ ere’s good and bad parts to what they’ve done,” Amabile said, pointing to Florida and California.

ere has been talk of requiring homeowners to mitigate wild re risk around their property as a prerequisite to getting insured under the state program.

Conway said his o ce has already

been having conversations with experts around the country.

“It’s been decades since anybody has stood up a fair plan,” he said, “so nding people who actually have useful knowledge has been a little bit di cult.”

Generally speaking, he said, startup costs have been funded by assessments — or fees — on private insurance companies. Conway said the assessments have been relatively small.

Walker, with the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association, warned that any added costs for private insurers would likely be passed onto consumers. at means higher prices for people whose homes aren’t necessarily facing wild re risk.

“If you pay for this through reassessments or surcharges, those are all costs that are passed on,” she said.

Walker urged Colorado lawmakers to have caps on how much coverage the state property insurance plan would o er to make sure the program is nancially sound. New Mexico, for instance, only covers residential properties for up to $250,000 and up to $1 million for commercial properties.

“We want to address problems that we have and not create problems that we don’t have,” she said.

Colorado GOP failed to close ranks, and lost

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

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

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

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

Republican candidates in their locales. e specifics are a matter of public record on TRACER.

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

e purpose of the Republican Party is to elect Republican-a liated candidates. If you do not wish to support Republican-a liated candidates, then what is your purpose in existing?

If you do not wish to support Republican nominees that are chosen by voters, are you not a Republican in name only?

e restraint that the leadership in El Paso County showed in expenditures for candidate support is why going forward it is reasonable to presume that the Colorado GOP is dead. What they did in e ect was exercise a post-primary veto over GOP candidates. ey said that “those candidates are not good enough in our opinion, therefore we will not support them.”

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

rently. ose people of means will act as they do because they care about Colorado and wish to have less government rather than more. ey want to persuade others that Republican-a liated candidates have the better agenda for Colorado’s future. ey will also travel down this path because, like many Coloradoans, they do not trust the leadership of the Colorado GOP.

What the current El Paso County leadership did in 2022 is far more consequential than most currently realize. If what I predicted comes to pass, then the consequences of their actions of non-support will be larger than is currently seen.

eir actions would amount to a betrayal by the “grassroots leadership” of the grassroots faithful. It would make the dreaded “Establishment” far more consequential than it is currently. No one within the Colorado GOP should desire that at all.

Northglenn celebrates Betty grace Gibson

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

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

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

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

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

Over the course of her career, Gib-

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

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

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

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Colter Wall at Mission Ballroom

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

His take on country is perfect for this time of year, so you absolutely shouldn’t miss his two nights at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver. He’ll be performing at 9 p.m. on ursday, Jan. 19 and Friday, Jan. 20. Get tickets at www. ticketmaster.com.

For the past 20 years, talk of addressing mental health issues within the health care industry circled around without much emphasis. at’s beginning to change, and it’s starting with the ne arts.

At the Colorado Resiliency Arts Lab at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, a team of doctors, therapists and literary scholars are doing just that: exploring how the ne arts can help nurses, doctors, surgeons and other healthcare workers heal from trauma.

The numbers

e team found that creative arts therapy not only decreases anxiety, feelings of burnout and depression, but also helps keep medical workers in their eld.

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

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

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

The program

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

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

“ ey wanted to have more scienti c evidence.”

From the results of the study, CORAL did just

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

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

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

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

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

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

nication. Egyptian Hieroglyphics morphed into language.

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

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

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

Common causes

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

how to deal with it.

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

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

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

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

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

to-day job.

Economic value

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

“Turnover is expensive,” Moss said.

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

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

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

“If a pill had the results that CORAL has, every single person would be taking it because it’s affordable and it works,” Reed said.

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

Dance therapy is one form of art therapy the CORAL program provides.

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

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

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

Guests would come and go from Zhou’s house throughout the several days of the Lunar New Year celebrations, sometimes bringing gifts along with them such as food and potted plants. Guests were greeted by a decorated front door, adorned with the Chinese character that means luck.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Colorado considers changing its Red Flag Law

Mass shooting at club sparks new discussion

BY MARKIAN HAWRYLUK KAISER HEALTH NEWS

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

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

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

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

According to The Associated Press, court transcripts show that the judge who dismissed the case said in a hearing that the defen-

dant had been stockpiling weapons and explosives, was “clearly” planning a shootout, and that he needed mental health treatment. Neither the family nor law enforcement sought an extreme risk protection order to ensure Aldrich didn’t have access to guns, leading to questions about whether November’s shooting could have been prevented if they had.

Colorado’s red flag law, passed

in 2019, has been used more than 350 times, with initial petitions for protection orders being granted in nearly 2 in 3 cases.

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

proved 91 of 104 initial petitions, or nearly 88%.

Violence prevention advocates attributed El Paso County’s low approval rate to several factors. Among them, the county declared itself a Second Amendment sanctuary county in opposition to the red flag law, and El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder has been ada-

LAWmant sheriff’s officials won’t seek any protection orders, “unless exigent circumstances exist.”

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

Analyses of red flag laws across the country show law enforcement officials are much more successful when they file petitions than when relatives or roommates of the person in question do.

“The ones that are petitioned for by law enforcement were approved more than 90% of the time, whereas the ones that are petitioned by family members, cohabitants, or parents were approved less than a third of the time,” said Dr. Chris Knoepke, a gun safety researcher with the University of Colorado’s Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative.

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

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

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

However, the charges against him were dismissed in July 2022, removing the mandatory protection order. The case records were sealed, which sheriff’s officials said prevented them from using that incident to pursue an extreme risk protection order. And no new evidence was available that would have allowed the sheriff to seek one, officials added.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, said his administration will look into why petitions were not filed in Colorado Springs and

ways to strengthen the red flag law.

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

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

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

Four states and the District of Columbia also allow health providers to petition. But those still represent a sliver of the total petitions filed.

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

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

“When petitioners for domestic violence restraining orders have lawyers, their petitions for re -

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

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

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

Florida passed its law after the 2018 Parkland high school shooting, and New York and Illinois expanded their laws after mass shootings in Buffalo and Highland Park, respectively. New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul directed state police to expand the use of protection orders and created staff positions to make that happen. According to the governor’s office, 832 temporary and final extreme risk protection orders were issued in New York state in the three months after Hochul’s directive, compared with 1,424 issued from August 2019 to April 2022.

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

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

She even prepared for her plunge by taking cold showers to build up her endurance to cold water.

e mood was festive as the plungers and spectators watched the jumping, with Gionet adding commentary throughout the event. Volunteers grabbed the plungers’ clothes and shoes at the lakeshore and took them to tables, so plungers could begin the warm-up process after they jumped. e Muddy Buck co ee kiosk in the Evergreen Lake House parking lot was doing a brisk business.

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

Blake Weslin sparks Green Mountain in win over Golden

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

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

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

“My teammates were nding me the ball and we were getting stops on defense,” Weslin said of his dozen points in a little over a minute. “We were getting buckets in transition and getting open looks. I just shoot my shot and they fell.”

e junior guard had a driving layup and was fouled to make a make a 3-point play the hard way to start the remarkable run with 1:04 left in the quarter. Weslin then drained a 3-pointer with 32 seconds left. He made another 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left and was fouled to complete a rare 4-point play.

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

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

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

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

Green Mountain (6-5, 1-0 in league) held at least a 20-point lead for the majority of the second half. Wachter pitched in 15 points. Junior Austin Beeson and sophomore Simon Landsford both had 7 points each as 10 di erent Rams scored in the Class 5A/4A Je co League opening win.

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

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

“I think what hurt us is we weren’t hitting shots and they were hitting everything,” Golden coach Lou Vullo said. “At halftime we were 1-for-16 and they were 5-for-9 on 3-pointers. at really hurt us.”

Golden nished 7-for-30 from 3-point range, while Green Moun-

tain was 10-for-20 from long distance.

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

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

It doesn’t get any easier for Golden. e Demons host Dakota Ridge next Wednesday. e Eagles (8-2, 1-0) are No. 6 in the current CHSAANow.com Class 5A rankings. Dakota Ridge won its league opener over Alameda International on Friday night in a big way. e nal was 125-23.

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

Arvada West girls hoops start 2023 with 42-point win

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — A new year, but the same winning result for Arvada West’s girls basketball team on Jan. 4.

In the Wildcats’ rst game after Winter Break, A-West hammered Silver Creek 62-20 to improve its record to 8-1 on the season. It was the fourth straight win for A-West with its only a loss to undefeated D’Evelyn in the Je co Jungle Jam tournament championship game Dec. 10.

“I knew we would start a little slow,” A-West coach Brady Meeks said of the rst game of 2023. “We missed a bunch of layup at the start, but I thought the girls fought through that and got back to A-West basketball.”

e Wildcats’ defense smothered Silver Creek (3-6 record) for the majority of the game. e Raptors were held to just one made eld goal through the rst half. A 3-pointer by Silver Creek senior Allie Hartman and the Raptors going 9-for-10 from the free-throw line accounted for all 12 rst-half points for Silver Creek.

“I was proud of our defensive intensity for sure,” Coach Meeks said of holding the Raptors to just 20 points and ve made eld goal for the entire game.

A-West senior Ellie Pugliese shined on both ends of the court. e senior co-captain poured in a season-high 21 points, including several strong drives to the basket to go along with a trio of 3-pointers.

“We were saying in the locker room before the game that 2023 is the year to prove ourselves to everyone,” Pugliese said. “Everyone thinks we are an underdog, but we want to prove to teams that we can play.”

Pugliese and fellow senior co-captain Brooke Meeks started the second half with back-to-back 3-pointers to push A-West’s lead to 40-12. Pugliese made a pair of free throws early in the fourth quarter to go over 20 points for the rst time this season before taking a seat on the bench.

“We have a lot of players who can score the basketball, but Ellie has been one of our o ensive spark plugs this year,” Meeks said of Pugliese singlehandedly outscoring Silver Creek. “It’s not surprising for her to get us going, but I’m even more impressed that she took three chargers tonight.”

According to Coach Meeks, she was top-15 in the nation last year in taking

defensive charges.

Starters sophomores Sara Walker (8 points), Taylor Swanson (7 points), junior Malorie Byrne (2 points) and Meeks (8 points) gave the Wildcats plenty of balanced scoring. Sophomore Gigi Grieve came o the bench for 8 points, including a line-drive 3-pointer midway through the second quarter that brought the A-West bench to its feet.

“I’ve always believed that our program has had depth, but I believe this year we have a di erent type of depth,” Coach Meeks said. “We have scoring from multiple ways.”

Pugliese said that a few of the big goals for the Wildcats this season is 20 wins and going deep enough in the 6A state tournament to play in the state quarter nals down at the Denver Coliseum.

“We have been wanting to go out on a strong note, especially our seniors,” Pugliese said. “We want to help everyone out and make everyone feel good about this team.”

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

BY MATT BLOOM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

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

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

Junction, Colorado Springs and other large cities across the state. e list includes the following:

Alamosa - Adams State University, Conour Hall

• Aurora - Aurora Center for Active Adults - Del Mar

• Castle Rock - Justice Center

• Centennial - Centennial Hospital

• Commerce City - Dicks Sporting Goods Park

• Denver - All City Stadium South, George Washington High School, Ascension Catholic Church

• Lakewood - Lakewood at South Kipling

• Westminster - WestminsterFront Range Community College

Coloradans can search on CDPHE’s website, covid19.colorado. gov/testing, to nd a distribution site for free at-home tests near them. CDPHE’s free school testing program will stay in place through the end of this school year at least. Many pharmacies and private doctor’s o ces have large supplies of tests available for free. You can also still order free tests through a federal program online.

Health o cials recommend Colorado residents receive the latest COVID-19 booster vaccine ahead of the 2022 winter holiday season.

BY BRUCE GOLDBERG SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

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

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

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

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

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

e U.S. Congress set Colorado’s boundaries in 1861, from four different territories.

“ ese straight lines represent no river, no mountain range, no tribe or language group - yet within

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

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

A partial look at the regions entails: Southern Colorado includes Pueblo and the San Luis Valley; Western Colorado covers mountain ranges, including North, Middle and South Park; the Eastern Plains

include the Front Range north of the Arkansas River; the Front Range includes a dense population from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs; and Metropolitan Denver has its own region because of its in uence in politics and the economy.

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