Teens get a Clue at Golden Library’s life-size board game

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mr. Boddy was murdered this weekend at the Golden Library, creating a classic whodunnit situation in the stacks. Was it Willy Wonka in the lounge with the rope or Cruella de Vil in the conservatory with the candlestick?

On March 31, the library hosted a life-size game of “Clue” for teens, where the 20 participants had the place all to themselves after hours.

e teens played as character from the “Clue” universe and other pop culture favorites. Sta members turned part of the library into the board game’s famous rooms with teens rolling large, in atable dice to move spaces laid out on the oor.

Several teens hadn’t played the board game version before, creating a unique introduction to the game.

“ is was a really fun idea,” eighthgrader Gabby Stover said, adding that she was new to the game.

Teen librarian Emily Vrotsos said the Teen Advisory Board started planning the event two or three

Fire burned 7.5 acres, determined to be human-caused

Hogback Fire a reminder that wildfire happens at any time

Now’s a good time to make evacuation plans, mitigate property

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was business as usual in downtown Morrison the morning of April 1 despite the Hogback Fire that was still burning though under control three miles north.

Patrons stopping into Morrison Joe co ee shop Saturday morning were no longer concerned about the re that on March 31 caused pre-evacuation orders of the entire town and subdivisions on the east side of C-470. e re, which burned 44 acres near Interstate 70 between Highway 93 and C-470, was 100% contained as of 2 p.m. April 3.

According to o cials, the Hogback Fire was caused by a power line downed by exceptionally strong winds on March 31. Pre-evacuation orders for Morrison, Solterra and Red Rocks Ranch were lifted later that night.

Larry Kunz of Morrison said he was happy that the re was contained, especially with the winds that some meteorologists said gusted to 70 mph.

Brent Lewis of Morrison said with everything being so dry and the recent winds, he’s worried about outof-towners frequenting the many parks in the area who don’t realize the potential danger one spark can cause.

“ at dead wood just explodes,” he said.

Just this weekend, the Hogback Fire was one of several res in Colorado, including the Bear Fire northwest of Golden that re crews containing to 7.5 acres and authorities believe was human caused.

In addition, re crews continue to battle the 403 Fire that has burned 1,450 acres in Park and Teller counties as of 4 p.m. April 2, and a re broke out in Cimarron Hills east of Colorado Springs on April 2.

“We absolutely have to be vigilant right now,” said Stacee Martin, assistant re chief with Evergreen Fire/Rescue. “ is is that awkward shoulder season where we don’t have green grass, and we have some moisture but not enough. ings are still brown, and that’s what is catching re. is is the time of year we all hold our breath.”

With low humidity and high winds, the danger is even higher.

“If you see a smoke column or active ames, call 911,” she said. “We are happy to check it out.”

Be prepared to leave and create plans for what to take and where to meet your family, and do mitigation now while the weather is getting better and before it’s time to plant, she said.

“ ere is no end to wild re season in Colorado,” Martin said. “It’s yearround. Right now in particular, keep your head on a swivel.”

Hogback Fire

As of April 2, Matthews/Winters Park is still closed, though all roads in the area have reopened

Hogback Fire, and Fulton noted how the re season on the Front Range is now year-round.

as re crews continue to ensure no hotspots are up.

e rst calls reporting the re came in around 2:15 p.m. March 31, according to West Metro Fire. Many area re departments sent re ghters and trucks to help including South Metro, Genesee, Foothills, Evergreen, Inter-Canyon, Indian Hills, North Fork, Fairmount and Elk Creek. Aid came from as far as Castle Rock.

O cials at about 8:15 p.m. March 31 lifted pre-evacuation orders for the Solterra subdivision, Red Rocks Ranch and the town of Morrison, though the March 31 concert at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre was postponed.

On April 1, Evergreen Fire/Rescue continued to assist West Metro Fire

in monitoring the area.

e re started on the west side of the hogback close to the main Matthews/Winters Park trailhead but spread onto the east side of the hogback. Helicopters were unable to operate in the windy conditions, and thus could not provide water drops, according to West Metro Fire.

As of 6 p.m. March 31, crews on the west side of the hogback were securing the perimeter while their counterparts on the east side were watching for spot res. Eastside crews were also setting up a progressive hose lay to get water up the steep slope to the top of the ridge. ey’re also using saws to cut out vegetation, taking away fuel from the re, West Metro Fire reported.

explaining how the Bear Fire was Je co’s second notable wild re in two days. e day before, emergency responders tackled the Hogback Fire near Morrison, which was caused by a downed powerline.

March 31’s dry, windy conditions made re ghting e orts di cult at the

e Front Range has seen several red ag days over the last week, including March 31, April 2 and April 3. Fulton recommended that everyone be extra cautious on red ag days — characterized by dry, windy conditions — saying res like the Hogback Fire and the Bear Fire can spread quickly under those conditions.

On April 1, Colorado State Patrol closes Golden Gate Canyon Road from Highway 93 to Crawford Gulch Road due the Bear Fire. The road was closed for about two hours as emergency crews responded to the scene about three miles northwest of Golden. As of April 3, the Bear Fire was fully contained to 7.5 acres in Golden Gate Canyon.

“We are all getting an education (at school),” Abby said, “but we are taking a lot from the environment. It is important to remember that we need to help the environment, even if just for one year.”

Austin said the community aspect of the project was important to him — “Getting together with the community and helping improve it. I love helping out and doing community service.”

e students have gone to businesses, fellow students and everyone they know, asking them to get involved and buy saplings, and they have sold about 150 so far. Now they are hoping the community will help them reach their 750-sapling goal. ey said they chose tree varieties

that will grow well in Colorado and should be easy to care for.

“If you don’t have a green thumb, they still have a chance of surviving,” Austin noted.

Tree-Plenish

e Tree-Plenish nonpro t was started in 2018 by students at a high school in Massachusetts, who wanted to nd a way to o set the amount of paper the school used in a year. ose students wanted to create a community event, so more people would be aware of ways to be more sustainable, according to Lizzy Elsner, a co-founder and co-director of the nonpro t.

“We have gone from two of us doing a senior project to now when we have about 25 college students running the nonpro t,” Elsner said. “Last year we worked with 300 schools in 40 states. We’ve seen a lot of growth.”

Tree-Plenish has moved from o setting paper usage to carbon footprint.

She said the nonpro t works with tree vendors across the country to get local trees for the events.

“Part of the process is helping research saplings native to the area, which grow best in the temperatures and soil conditions,” she explained. “ ey work through guring out which saplings are best for the area.”

Elsner said while the nonpro t helps the environment, just as importantly, it is working to help high school students learn they can make a di erence.

“High school students learn that they can be empowered to change the world,” Elsner said. “ ere are a lot of issues we learn about and see in the news, the climate crisis being one of the bigger ones. is project is a really good way to make communities more sustainable. is is a great

A YouTube Playlist Features 42 ‘Top Green Products’ From the International Builders Show

I would have loved to attend the 2023 International Builders Show in Las Vegas to check out the vendors of green products, but I have a job here that already keeps me pretty busy. So I was delighted to receive a link to a YouTube playlist of 42 videos featuring many of the same products that would have interested me.

In those videos Rate It Green host Matt Hoots of Sawhorse Inc. shares his picks for some of the best green building products from IBS. You’ll certainly make some new discoveries, as I did, and appreciate Matt's insights. Many of these products I already knew about and some of them I have mentioned in this column (such as the Rheem heat pump water heater), but I didn't make videos of them. He did. Thank you, Matt!

The videos are a great service, with the shortest ones being under 2 minutes and only one of them being over 10 minutes. Each of them is a short visit to a different IBS 2023 booth, interviewing the attendant about their product. It would have taken me a few days to do the same thing, with most of my time spent walking up and down the aisles looking for products that interested me and blowing off those which didn’t.

The nice thing about a YouTube playlist is that all the videos are listed on the side, and you can skip to the ones that interest you the most or skip to the next video as soon as you’ve seen enough of the one you’re watching.

The link for the YouTube playlist is too long to print here, but you can click

2 Local Entities Cited for Housing Affordability Work

Ivory Innovations has released the names of 24 finalists for the Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability, and two of them are in Denver. The finalists are selected by an advisory board which is composed of the top minds in housing across the U.S. In addition to awarding financial support, Ivory Innovations connects all of its finalists with leading practitioners, capital partners, student interns, and pro bono consulting or capacity-building services.

The two Denver area finalists are: Madelon (MadelonGroup.com) simplifies infill housing development by streamlining and productizing the entire process. They seamlessly integrate each component, including pre-designed housing products that are compatible with industrialized housing manufacturers, into their online REDtech platform. This allows small local developers, non-profit institutions, and

even community trusts to get into the driver’s seat and finally leverage new construction technology to identify and build more affordable housing supply at scale.

Launched by Gary Community Ventures in partnership with Denver’s Black community, The Dearfield Fund for Black Wealth (DearfieldFund.com) provides up to $40,000 in down-payment assistance to first-time Black and African American homebuyers to help build generational wealth. The fund aims to close the racial wealth gap and accelerate Black homeownership by generating an average of $100K in net worth for 500-600 Black families, leading to $50-$75M in wealth creation for the Black community in Denver. The fund seeks to build a community of practice and to create a model that other cities could replicate in their own housing markets.

Sellers Are Helping Buyers to Buy Down Interest Rates to Sell Homes

With interest rates staying between 6 and 7 percent, it has become a common practice for buyers to demand and sellers to grant a concession by which the seller pays a fee to the buyer’s lender to get a lower interest rate for the first year or two, after which the buyer can hopefully refinance at a lower rate.

To see how pervasive this trend has become I ran some statistics on closings over the past 90 days and compared them to the first 90 days of 2022.

I should add that watching the playlist is “sustainable” in itself—you didn’t add to your carbon footprint by traveling to Las Vegas, and you didn’t come home with a bag full of handouts that will only go into the recycling bin!

I suggest you take notes as you watch these videos and create a menu of possible upgrades you could make to your home. Then review that menu and decide what to implement first.

Heads Up to All Homeowners: Property Valuations by County Assessor Are Coming in May

Colorado’s constitution dictates that in May of every odd-numbered year, each county assessor must provide every property owner with his or her estimate of the “full valuation” of their property as of June 30th of the previous year.

Your property taxes for 2023 (due next spring) and for 2024 will be based on that valuation, so you may want to appeal that valuation by the June deadline. As I have done in this column every other year for the past two decades, I will publish a guide for how to determine whether you have a case for reducing your valuation and the most successful way to submit it.

Check out JimSmithColumns.com for what I wrote in May 2021 and May 2019 to see that process, which will require some updating when I publish it next month.

This 0.86-acre parcel at 730 Kipling Street comes with plans for 16 townhome-style units and an open case number with Lakewood Planning & Zoning. It’s a flat site adjacent to Lakewood High School and near the Kipling/6th Ave. Freeway interchange. That makes it close to both the Denver Federal Center and St. Anthony’s medical campus. Colorado Christian University is also just a few minutes from the site, along with other schools. From this site, you’re only minutes to downtown Denver or downtown Golden, and it’s centrally located in the metro area for ease of travel in all directions. For more details, visit www.LakewoodDevelopmentSite.info or call Austin Pottorff at 970-281-9071 for more info or to submit a contract.

During the 90 days prior to this Monday, there were 4,512 closings of residential listings on REcolorado.com in which it was stated on the MLS that the seller provided a concession related to buyer’s closing costs. During the first 90 days of 2022, that number was 2,675.

This will be a rough year for property owners because of the crazy runup in property values between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2022. The percentage increase in your home’s value between those two dates will be the basis for the percentage increase in your property taxes for 2023 and 2024.

Je co transfers 20 acres near fairgrounds to Westernaires

For more than 20 years, the Westernaires have been using county land on the southeast side of the Je co Fairgrounds to practice riding horses and conducting drills. Now, the land o cially belongs to the Westernaires, thanks to a recent Je co land transfer.

e Westernaires, an organization that’s served local youth since 1949, will now have a permanent home on the property, Je co con rmed in a recent press release.

e county will still have an interest in the property through deed restrictions, requiring that the Westernaires use the land for its programs or other park purposes. If it’s used in another manner, the county can elect to take the property back, Je co o cials explained.

e county previously conveyed a 4-acre parcel in 1964, and another 1.4 acres in 2001. e Westernaires have been using the discussed 20 acres since 1998.

“ e Westernaires are a staple in our county,” County Commissioner Andy Kerr commented in the press release, “and we would like to see them remain here.”

According to the organization’s website, the Westernaires are based at the fairgrounds in Golden, and have more than 1,000 participants

responsibility and leadership. Its members perform at parades and other Western-themed events.

Director Bill Schleicher stated: “We are proud to celebrate the western heritage of Je erson County and appreciate the continued support of the county’s leadership.”

Coroner’s O ce receives international accreditation

e Je co Coroner’s O ce has received an accreditation from the International Association of Coroners and Medical Examiners. e o ce self-submitted for the process, which takes ve years to complete.

Hope House breaks ground on $5.4 million Early Learning Center

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About a hundred teen moms will have a massive burden lifted o their shoulders soon, as Hope House Colorado broke ground on its new $5.4 million Early Learning Center, which will provide all-day childcare for 104 of the nonpro t’s moms and sta .

All seats at the Early Learning Center are eligible for parents enrolled in Colorado Child Care Assistance Program for Families, and about 10 will be reserved for Hope House sta working at the center. e project broke ground on April 1 with a large crowd of onlookers in tow and is slated for completion in fall 2024. e project was initially planned as a long-term objective for Hope House — an Arvada-based nonpro t that helps teen moms achieve selfsu ciency through help with housing, transportation and childcare — but was jump-started by a $1 million gift from the Ackerman Trust after the trustee, Bill Ackerman, died. Ackerman was a barber from Evergreen who was abandoned by

his mother during the Great Depression. He went to live in a group home and earned a prosperous life for himself, but wanted to help others avoid the same hardships he went through.

“( e donation) moved it up by 18 months,” Lisa Steven, Hope House’s founder and executive director. “We

had not planned to start that early.”

Steven said Hope House has $700,000 left to raise, which she said they hope to achieve through grants and individual donations. Steven added that Hope house prefers to be debt-free and currently has no debt on any of the buildings they own.

Steven also highlighted that Colorado is considered a “childcare desert” and only has one childcare slot available for every three children who need them. She said that quality childcare can make a world of di erence, especially for the young moms Hope House serves.

“Everything we do is based on building relationships and trust,” Steven said. “(Moms) may be starting at 16, 17 (years old) and they’ve never left a child with anybody besides family, and they’re very anxious about that. So, the fact that we o er an Early Learning Program is critical for building that transition pipeline.”

Hope House currently o ers a three-hour-per-day childcare program for moms, but when the Center is completed, it will operate from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., providing more coverage.

Maria, a Hope House mom, said

she’s been using the nonpro t’s Early Learning Program for ve years, and it’s allowed her more exibility in her life to achieve her goals.

“It has been very helpful in many ways, while I have been utilizing it I have been able to attend classes at hope house such as self-care classes, parenting classes, nancial classes,” Maria said. “It has bene ted my kids so much, they have interacted a lot more with kids while been in there, they love all the volunteers, and also how they do many bene cial things to help them learn.”

e groundbreaking on April 1 was attended by almost 100 community members, including Arvada Mayor Marc Williams and District 2 City Councilmember Lauren Simpson.

“ e celebration on Saturday is really a celebration for our whole community,” Steven said. “We’re so proud and so humbled to be part of the Arvada community, just operating Hope house out of Arvada has been a joy. Our community is so supportive, the fact that our community is coming together again to support and empower our teen moms is so important and special to us.

“We love being part of the Arvada community,” Steven concluded.

The furry ice fisher: Mayor Parker the Snow Dog

Mayor Parker loves to ice fish, even though he doesn’t have thumbs

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

What can a dog teach you about ice shing? Actually, a lot, if that dog is Mayor Parker the Snow Dog, Mayor of Georgetown and member of the Scheels Pro Sta Ice Fishing Team.

Parker the Snow Dog, beloved internet sensation and four-legged philanthropist also happens to be an ice shing ambassador. Not only is he a member of the Scheels Pro Sta , but he’s an ambassador for Eskimo Ice Fishing, Stormy Kromer and WSI Sports. How does he do it with no thumbs? With a little help from his dad, Dustin Schaefer.  e two got into the sport three years ago.

“We really didn’t know what we were doing or getting ourselves into,” Schaefer said.

Now, Parker is a brand ambassador for multiple outdoors out tters.

“His main purpose is to be an ambassador to the sport of ice shing,” Schaefer said.

If you check out any of his social channels, you’ll see Parker posed in front of ice shing tents, watching augers drill into the ice and helping his dad reel in the day’s big catch. He likes to get cozy on his bed in the tent and watch the action from there, too.

“He loves laying on his cot while I’m ice shing, snuggling with his toys,” Schaefer said.

Some popular lakes for ice shing in Clear Creek are Georgetown Lake, Clear Lake and St. Mary’s. e season in Clear Creek lasts from around January to the end of March, depending on the weather.

“We’ve been lucky this winter with cool temperatures through March; that’s gonna extend the ice shing season,” Schaefer said.

One of the misconceptions about ice shing, according to Schaefer, is that it’s a “cold sport for grumpy old men.” Since the start of the pandemic, Schaefer has seen the ice shing demographic change, with more families partaking in the sport.

“It’s a great opportunity for a family to spend quality time together,” he said.  is season, Parker and his dad caught their biggest sh so far, a 36” Lake Trout on Lake Granby. at sh quali ed them for the Master Angler Award with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

After that, Parker isn’t very impressed with the smaller catches. He saves his excitement for the big ones.

Parker and Schaefer hit the ice whenever they can, be it after work or a planned longer trip. e dynamic duo enjoyed a full season of shing together, and even took some Broncos players on ice- shing trips to share Parker’s love for shing.

“ is season we’ve gotten close to 30 days of ice shing on 10 di erent lakes in Colorado. ere’s nothing better than ice shing with your furry best friend,” Schaefer said.

PARKER’S TIPS FOR TAKING YOUR DOG ICE FISHING

1. Keep your dog on a leash if other people are fishing nearby. Dogs will love to run to other fishing camps and eat whatever they find. This can be dangerous if there are hooks and lures. Also, it’s just courteous not to have your dog running around their camp peeing on tents and fishing gear. Bring an extra ice fishing anchor so you can tether them outside on nice days.

2. Like I mentioned above: Fishing hooks and lures are very dangerous. Keep these and your bait in a secure spot that your pup won’t get into.

3. Keep your dog occupied. Pack a couple KONGS or some treats and reward them throughout the day.

4. Leave no trace. Bring poop bags and pick up after your pup. If you can take the time to bag the poop, then most likely you can figure a way to pack it out.

5. Be careful where you leave your augers. Augers are sharp and can be very dangerous to doggos. Leave your auger in a safe spot and make sure you have a cover for your blades.

6. Bring food and water. Your dog will get hungry and thirsty on a fishing trip. Bring a couple collapsible bowls, water and food.

7. Bring a little dog bed or cot for your dog to lay on. The ice can get cold, and your pup will thank you later. Ice fishing sleds with a bed or blanket inside make a great home base for your dog.

8. Make sure your pup has a collar with updated ID tags. If fishing at night, make sure your dog has a light on their collar if going outside the tent.

9. If your dog has issues with their paws getting cold or getting ice balls, check out dog booties or mushers wax. Jackets are always another option on cold days.

10. Most importantly, if your dog doesn’t want to go, don’t make them.

South Suburban hosting board elections

Property taxes tied to district

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Six candidates are competing for two seats on the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District board of directors.

The May 2 election will be the district’s first regular election in an odd-numbered year, after 2019 state legislation changed timelines to stagger county and special district elections.

The district’s board election is accustomed to seeing very low voter turnout, with just over 1% of eligible voters casting ballots in 2022.

“With any election, your vote matters,” said Jennifer King, the designated election official at South Suburban. “We encourage people to participate in these elections because these are the decisionmakers of what’s going on in the district.”

District background

South Suburban, which formed in 1959, is a regional provider of parks and recreation services. The special district manages recreation centers, indoor sports facilities, golf courses, playgrounds, parks and trails in its 46-square mile area, which includes portions of

Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson Counties.

According to 2022 financial documents, in-district taxpayers pay about $8.40 in tax to the district per $1,000 of assessed property value.

The board of directors, made of five elected residents, adopts policies and governs the district, according to the district’s website. The executive director implements board policies and oversees operations.

Candidates are running for the elected seats of Jim Taylor and Ken Lucas, whose terms are ending in May. Hopefuls include Michael Edwards, John Priddy, Pam Eller, Elizabeth Watson, Alexis Barrere and Ken Lucas, who is running for re-election.

The South Suburban board meets the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 6 p.m. in the South Suburban Sports Complex at 4810 E. County Line Rd.

Am I eligible to vote?

To be eligible to vote in a South Suburban election, a person must be a registered voter in Colorado. In addition, they must reside within the district boundaries or own taxable property within the boundaries. A person who is married or in a civil union with a property-owner in the district is also eligible.

The district’s boundaries expand southeast towards Lone Tree and

northwest to Sheridan, crossing the lines of many municipalities and three counties.

To see who is eligible to vote, residents can check the county assessor’s website to see if they own taxable property within the district. Residents can also check their district resident information through the Secretary of State’s database at www.sos.state.co.us/ pubs/elections/ or by contacting their county clerk and recorder.

Apply for an absentee ballot

For this election, voters may vote absentee or in-person at a polling station on election day. Absentee voters must request a ballot by April 25.

“We do not mail ballots to everybody in the district, compared to the county election where they do, where they just automatically get a ballot,” King said. “If they want a ballot mailed to them, they have to apply for that.”

Absentee ballot applications must be physically signed by the applicant — no electronic signatures will be accepted. Applicants can email a scanned version or photograph of the document to Elections@ssprd.org or mail the application to South Suburban at 4810 E. County Line Road in Littleton.

King said the district doesn’t automatically mail ballots to all voters because of costs.

“Cost is a big factor on doing an all-mail ballot (election),” King said. “We would be mailing bal-

lots to every resident and nonresident of the district — we have a lot of people who own property but don’t live in the district, so we would be mailing ballots to each and every one of those individuals… It’s a pretty significant cost.” Requested absentee ballots will begin being mailed out on April 3, according to South Suburban’s website.

How to vote

Absentee voters can mail ballots to South Suburban Park and Recreation District at 4810 E. County Line Road in Littleton, CO 80126. To ensure votes are in on time, South Suburban asks residents to mail their ballots by April 28.

Alternatively, voters can drop off completed ballots at the Goodson Recreation Center or South Suburban Sports Complex. Ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. on May 2. In-person voting will also be available at the Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on May 2.

At 6 p.m. on April 12, South Suburban and the Littleton Business Chamber are holding a candidate forum at Shift Workspaces on Main Street, with a meet-and-greet hour preceding it.

There will also be a candidate forum at 10 a.m. on April 15, hosted by the League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties at the South Suburban Sports Complex.

Santa was part of the holiday program at the Family Sports Complex in Littleton. South Suburban Parks and Recreation District covers more than 40 miles, with property owners eligible to vote in the board election in areas of Douglas, Arapahoe and Je erson counties.

Report charts course for mitigating wildfire risks

Tribal partnerships are seen as key to e ort

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

As wild re seasons in Colorado and across the American West become longer, less predictable and increasingly destructive, a new report aims to provide an equitable roadmap for protecting communities, watersheds and wildlife.

Rob Addington, Colorado forest program director for e Nature Conservancy, said engagement with tribal nations, who have been successful stewards of lands for thousands of years, will be critical to address the scale of the challenge.

“Developing tribal partnerships and really looking to tribal knowledge, ecological knowledge that many of the tribes hold from their centuries in many cases of working with the land, working with re,” Addington outlined.

Addington pointed out the roadmap represents a paradigm shift in modern forest and wild re management. After decades of re prevention strategies, for example, experts said prescribed burns will be necessary to thin fuel supplies across thousands of acres of dry western lands. e report also called for advanced computer modeling and unmanned drones to improve early

If yes, then please contact Ron Coringrato at: (303)720-5934 or at rcoringrato@hgl.com to get more information on participating in the startup of a Restoration Advisory Board, also known as a “RAB”

What is a RAB?

• A RAB is a community group which meets to discuss and receive information on environmental restoration (cleanup) projects at a military base. What does a RAB do?

• A RAB facilitates and improves communication, outreach, and transparency between the military base, the public, regulators, local governments, and interest groups for issues related to military cleanup activities. RABs offer a structured, focused, and interactive opportunity for community stakeholders to meaningfully participate in the cleanup process. A RAB enables local community members to receive from and exchange information with the base and regulatory agencies managing environmental cleanup projects at PJKS.

• RABs engage in and support DoD’s cleanup efforts by reviewing and commenting on cleanup documents and activities; serving as a liaison to and sharing cleanup information with the community; and providing a forum to exchange information about the schedule, type, and status of cleanup activities. RAB meetings allow RAB members and members of the community to receive updates and ask questions on the status of the environmental cleanup program at PJKS.

• Though RABs are not a decision-making body, they do give local community members the opportunity to have their voices heard and provide a forum to provide valuable community insight to base and regulatory agencies.

Are you interested in participating in PJKS’s RAB?

• PJKS is currently assessing whether there is enough community interest to reestablish a RAB.

• If you are interested in learning more about PJKS’s environmental restoration projects and having the opportunity to give your input to base and regulatory agencies on the management of cleanup projects at PJKS, either as a RAB member or by attending RAB meetings, please contact Ron Coringrato at: 303-720-5934; or at: rcoringrato@hgl.com by May 6, 2023 to indicate interest.

Communities try design to improve public safety

BY BRITTANY FREEMAN AND CULLEN PURSER ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Mike Burns bought a home right on the river near Delta, Colorado, with plans to spend the summers shing outdoors with his grandkids. But those kinds of excursions haven’t always felt safe, since the family learned more about what had been happening in their new neighborhood.

“Crime, drugs, theft, things like that,” he said. “Because of the things that are going on, it’s created some anxiety in us.”

It turns out the Burns family had moved to a 2,000-foot stretch of dirt road that is at the epicenter of roughly 10 percent of every call the small local sheri ’s o ce receives.

e sheri sent more deputies to patrol the area but that has left some neighbors even more unnerved.

“You’ve got four or ve sheri ’s vehicles parked next to your yard,” neighbor Steve Martinez said. “What are people going to think about what kind of neighborhood it is that you’re living in?”

But there’s a new sense of hope on this rural Delta County road these days, thanks to an infusion of state dollars set aside to prevent crime —

not with more police o cers — but with environmental improvements.

e Crime Prevention rough Safer Streets grant program is providing communities with millions of dollars funds for projects like installing new lighting and fences, removing overgrown vegetation in highcrime areas, and building sidewalks

and trails. It’s one piece of a package of public safety legislation rolled out in the 2022 Colorado legislative session aimed at reducing crime.

“ ose improvements alone cannot make a safer community. But those improvements are an indicator that a community is involved in its own well-being,” explained architect Ignacio Correa-Ortiz, an urban planner who helped choose projects for the state to fund.

Twenty-three communities large and small across the state have until the end of June to complete more than $6.2 million in grant-funded projects that authorities say are part of a shift in the mindset around law enforcement and crime prevention.

“We’re really good at responding and arresting somebody for drugs or assaults or thefts or burglaries, but of course they get out of jail and recidivism happens,” said Delta County Sheri Mark Taylor. “We think that through this process we’ll be able to prevent crimes rather than just responding to crimes.”

e program’s funding could not be used to hire more o cers, or for projects that are typically used to investigate or solve crimes once they have happened, such as facial recognition programs or license plate reader cameras.

“In my opinion, the future of law enforcement is all in crime prevention,” said Delta County code enforcement o cer Everett Neil. “ e best way to handle an issue properly is to keep it from happening in the rst place.”

Neil helped to dream up his county’s grant-funded project after neighbors got together and asked the sheri and county commissioners to help them reduce the crime in their community.

He said he suggested the county fund removal of an abandoned mobile home in the neighborhood that had become a draw for criminal activity and drug use. Neil said he also came to believe the remote wilderness near the river drew criminals who believed it was a good place to

hide. When he learned the state was funding environmental improvements to reduce crime, his wheels began to turn.

“ at’s when I realized, well, if we’re getting rid of the mobile home, you know what? Let’s do some fencing. You know what, if we’re gonna do fencing, shoot, let’s do some lighting,” Neil said. “Let’s do a bus stop too, for the kids. And so we started brainstorming.”

Before applying for the funds, Neil and the county’s grant writer visited the neighborhood to make sure the community would support the improvements, most of which would occur on private property.

“ e grant writer and I went down to the neighborhood. We knocked on every door. We talked to every resident, and we wanted to know if they would be willing to participate in this kind of a program, because there is some cost,” he said, noting that residents may see slightly higher electric bills due to the new lighting.

“We were met with 100% buy-in.”

“I can’t tell you how many times [Neil] has been to my door saying, ‘ is is what’s going on. is is where we’re at in the process. What do you think about this? I need your input,’” Burns said. “It’s a rare thing, honestly, to feel that the county is being this responsive.”

Neil said he anticipates the changes will make the neighborhood safer, and he made a bold prediction.

“I fully predict that we’ll be able to reduce the crime in this area through this initiative, at least by 50%,” Neil said.

“It’s something that’s exciting to see and start from the ground up,” Sheri Taylor said. “I hope it works. I hope it’s something that we can use in the future.”

State dollars aim to prevent crime with environmental changes

Colorado GOP starts battle against open primary

Letter to federal agency asks for

BY CAITLIN KIM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

e Colorado GOP is taking its rst step towards closing the Republican primary.

In a letter sent to the Federal Election Commission last week, the Colorado Republican State Central Committee and its new chairman Dave Williams asked for “an advisory opinion” on whether the party can “establish a legal fund to challenge the constitutionality” of Colorado’s open primary election law.

“ e Colorado Republican Committee wishes to explore a lawsuit against the State of Colorado, which would challenge the constitutionality of Proposition 108,” stated the letter, written on behalf of the party by attorneys with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. e legal fund would defray the costs of legal action.

In 2016, Colorado voters approved Proposition 108, which allowed una liated voters, now the state’s largest bloc, to vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary. e law does have a provision allowing a party to opt out of the open primary system and instead pick its candidates through a caucus process, but 75 percent of the members

of the state central committee must support the move.

An e ort two years ago to close the party’s 2022 primary failed to win enough support from the central committee.

In 2022, individual Republicans tried to challenge the constitutionality of the law, but the case was dismissed because the court said they did not have standing, only the party would.

According to the letter, the committee chairman, Williams, would

establish the fund and appoint a governing board with “ nal authority” over spending the money. “ e Fund plans to accept unlimited amounts from individuals, political committees, corporations, and labor organizations,” the letter states, and would only be used for the lawsuit.

e move is not surprising. Williams talked about closing the GOP primary as he campaigned for the state party chair job.

“We must work to close the primaries so that only Republicans choose our Republican nominees,” he said. “We cannot a ord to let Democrats

become una liated so that they then can meddle in our primaries, like they did with (Rep.) Lauren Boebert. We must defend and protect our caucus assembly.”

Williams was referring to a grassroots campaign where some Democrats dropped their party a liation to vote in the CO-3 Republican primary. It proved unsuccessful, as Boebert easily won the primary.

Novelty: Moving into your creative zone

Last month I talked about Ambiguity, the fourth in my Five-Part series on our relationship with time, how we respond to it in the forms it takes in our lives.

is month, let’s look at the nal aspect in this series: what happens when you move successfully from Ambiguity into Novelty.

If Ambiguity is about having no focus or passion with too many options to choose from, Novelty is the state you reach when you choose what you want to focus on, and your passions get ignited to get them going. All of them. At once.

For example, you just came out of the post-holiday season, weathered the dark of winter, and are seeing the beginnings of spring – you’re pulled into the daytime sunshine and able to feel how warm it can be. It’s a novel feeling to have after the cold and short days.

When novelty thaws us, we are able to focus on our passions again. You want to put your winter sweaters away, get the garden prepped for planting, start researching summer

UNLEARN

vacation spots.

You’re touring schools with your college-bound senior, taking on the long-put-o bathroom renovation, cleaning out the garage, starting an exercise program, reducing sugar from the family diet, planning the visit from your relatives, nishing up a huge project at work, hiring new sta …you get the picture.

Instead of your list looking daunting or insurmountable, you’re energized to get them ALL done NOW.

You feel productive, gain a tremendous sense of accomplishment, and pride as you complete your projects.

You power through any exhaustion and that nagging frazzled-feeling because the powerful sense of showing up in the world can be intoxicating.

Are you there? If you’re not sure, listen to how you describe your days—do you say things like, “I’m

crazy-busy” or “my life is insane?”

Look for signs that you may be becoming overwhelmed or anxious. Panic-attacks, storm-eating, sleeplessness, over-indulging alcohol or recreational drugs and watching TV or being on social media for many hours a day are just a few of the signals you may be too occupied to keep up the pace you’ve set for yourself.

What’s happening is a shift into over-drive where you are captive to the high energy and excitement of all the projects you have going on. And, while your creative surges are lling your tank in some aspects, they are also keeping you from self-calming, and unwinding which leads to anxiety and overwhelm.

Here are a few tools I use with my clients to help them self-regulate and move from Novelty into Stillness—(the point where we began this series).

Recognize one overwhelm pattern: One example is scrolling on Facebook for hours a day. Set an alarm and put your device down when it sounds. Stand up, move away

from your device and shake your body – dance around – sing – walk outside for ve minutes to break up the energy.

Practice relaxation techniques that are repetitive: If you don’t have one, one of my favorites is box breathing: breathe in for four counts, hold for four counts, breathe out for four counts and hold for four counts again. Repeat at least three times.

Welcome your empty mind: When a thought keeps cycling without a resolution, stop and thank it, then let it know you will give it attention – record a day and time. Notice how your mind clears.

Parkinson’s slows life down, but doesn’t stop a family’s love

The Arvada Center invites audiences to join its book club

Anyone who has been in a book club before knows they can be a brilliant opportunity to bond with friends, both old and new, over a shared love of the written word. And they can also be ground zero for all kinds of interpersonal messiness.

In the Arvada Center’s production of Karen Zacarías’ laugh-out-loud “ e Book Club Play,” one group becomes the subject of a documentary lm maker, resulting in all kinds of hilarity as the members let the camera into their lives.

“I love books. And I nd book clubs fascinating,” wrote Kate Gleason, who plays several pundits in the show, in an email interview. “I like how book clubs are a chance for very di erent characters to come together in a shared experience. I was challenged and excited to play several wildly di erent characters with one common thread — books.”

“ e Book Club Play” runs at the Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through May 18. Directed by Lynne Collins as part of the Black Box eatre repertory season, performances are at 7:30 p.m. on ursdays through Saturdays, 1 p.m. on Wednesdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

Gathering with others who share a love of books is a tried-and-true setting for all kinds of stories, and there’s a good reason for this — in book clubs, members have a tendency to really let their hair down and cut loose. Not only does this make for a very dynamic energy between characters, but it can be a vehicle

“It’s about the relationships we have with our friends, family, and ourselves, all centered around great, or not so great, books,” Gleason wrote. “ e ability to agree or disagree is all part of the fun.”

Stories involving book clubs provide opportunities to explore all kinds of culture: classic highbrow novels and the authors who write them, as well as trashy books that provide an opportunity to get together and complain with friends. With that kind of range, audiences who see “ e Book Club Play” can expect laughs and literary references galore.

“Creating family and community are all part of our shared human experience. In all its glory and messiness,” Gleason wrote. “And books can connect or disconnect us from each other. Let the hilarity ensue.”

An tiques might seem like a eld that’s struggling to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the local scene in Elizabeth — and elsewhere in Colorado — suggests a renaissance of sorts might be occurring in the industry.

Randy Wallace owns Randy’s Antiques and Art on Main Street in Elizabeth. e bustling scene in town — featuring e Prickly Pear Antiques, e Carriage Shoppes and 1897 House of Antiques, among others — breeds community, not competition, he said.

“ e more stores in town, the better,” Wallace said. “People love to come antique shopping when there are multiple stores. Each one of our shops has a di erent niche, each one has just a little bit di erent style; I think customers enjoy having a di erent variety when they come to Elizabeth.”

Wallace said that while his shop specializes in antique art and furniture, others cater to di erent interests, like the Prickly Pear’s tearoom.

Over in Littleton, owner Joe Crawford of Old Crow Antiques had the novel idea to add a root beer bar to his shop, with the eventual goal of making the soda section — which currently carries between 60-90 varieties of vintage soda pop at any given time — the largest root beer bar in the world.

Crawford said Old Crow — which he opened three years ago with his brother — is one of the “new kids on the block” in the local

antiquing scene, but said they’ve been welcomed into the scene with open arms.

“I feel like we’re part of a larger community in the metro area,” Wallace said. “ ere are stores throughout the area, and we’ve gotten to know the people who own and work there — some have been here a long time.”

Nostalgia and good, old-fashioned, quality craftsmanship

Antique shops can often sprawl thousands of square feet — Old Crow’s showroom is over 45,000 square feet — packed with items from all eras and purposes. Shopkeepers say that a sense of longing for a di erent time helps people nd what they’re looking for out of the scores of inventories, in addition to the fact that many antiques have stood the test of time for a reason.

“In antique furniture, it’s already lasted 100 years, and — if you take care of it — it’ll last another 100 years,” Wallace said. “A lot of today’s stu is kind of throwaway.”

Julie McCoy, who runs own Unique Treasures Antiques and Collectibles in Wheat Ridge with her parents, echoed Wallace’s sentiment.

“(Antiques are) made so much better,” McCoy said. “ ey’re around 100 years later for a reason. It’s not like Ikea stu that you put together and throw away. It’s good quality

Study: 1 in 4 Colorado teens have quick access to guns

Community still reeling after Denver school shooting incident

BY MARKIAN HAWRYLUK KAISER HEALTH NEWS

One in 4 Colorado teens reported they could get access to a loaded gun within 24 hours, according to survey results published late last month. Nearly half of those teens said it would take them less than 10 minutes.

“ at’s a lot of access and those are short periods of time,” said Virginia McCarthy, a doctoral candidate at the Colorado School of Public Health and the lead author of the research letter describing the ndings in the medical journal JAMA Pediatrics.

e results come as Coloradans are reeling from yet another school shooting. On March 22, a 17-yearold student shot and wounded two school administrators at East High School in Denver. Police later found his body in the mountains west of Denver in Park County and con rmed he had died from a selfin icted gunshot wound. Another East High student was fatally shot in February while sitting in his car outside the school.

e time it takes to access a gun matters, McCarthy said, particularly for suicide attempts, which are often impulsive decisions for teens. In research studying people who have attempted suicide, nearly half said the time between ideation and action was less than 10 minutes. Creating barriers to easy access, such as locking up guns and storing them unloaded, extends the time before someone can act on an impulse, and increases the likelihood that they will change their mind or that someone will intervene.

“ e hope is to understand access in such a way that we can increase that time and keep kids as safe as possible,” McCarthy said.

e data McCarthy used comes from the Healthy Kids Colorado

Study, a survey conducted every two years with a random sampling of 41,000 students in middle and high school. e 2021 survey asked, “How long would it take you to get and be ready to re a loaded gun without a parent’s permission?”

American Indian students in Colorado reported the greatest access to a loaded gun, at 39%, including 18% saying they could get one within 10 minutes, compared with 12% of everybody surveyed. American Indian and Native Alaskan youths also have the highest rates of suicide.

Nearly 40% of students in rural areas reported having access to rearms, compared with 29% of city residents.

e ndings were released at a particularly tense moment in youth gun violence in Colorado. Earlier this month, hundreds of students left their classrooms and walked nearly 2 miles to the state Capitol to advocate for gun legislation and safer schools. e students returned to confront lawmakers again last week in the aftermath of the March 22 high school shooting.

e state legislature is considering a handful of bills to prevent gun

violence, including raising the minimum age to purchase or possess a gun to 21; establishing a three-day waiting period for gun purchases; limiting legal protections for gun manufacturers and sellers; and expanding the pool of who can le for extreme risk protection orders to have guns removed from people deemed a threat to themselves or others.

According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, rearms became the leading cause of death among those ages 19 or younger in 2020, supplanting motor vehicle deaths. And rearm deaths among children increased during the pandemic, with an average of seven children a day dying because of a rearm incident in 2021.

Colorado has endured a string of school shootings over the past 25 years, including at Columbine High School in 1999, Platte Canyon High School in 2006, Arapahoe High School in 2013, and the STEM School Highlands Ranch in 2019.

Although school shootings receive more attention, the majority of teen gun deaths are suicides.

“Youth suicide is starting to become a bigger problem than it ever has been,” said Dr. Paul Nestadt, a researcher at the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.

“Part of that has to do with the fact that there’s more and more guns that are accessible to youth.”

While gun ownership poses a higher risk of suicide among all age groups, teens are particularly vulnerable, because their brains typically are still developing impulse control.

“A teen may be bright and know how to properly handle a rearm, but that same teen in a moment of desperation may act impulsively without thinking through the consequences,” said Dr. Shayla Sullivant, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Children’s Mercy Kansas City. “ e decision-making centers of the brain are not fully online until adulthood.”

Previous research has shown a disconnect between parents and their children about access to guns in their homes. A 2021 study found that 70% of parents who own rearms said their children could not get their hands on the guns kept at home. But 41% of kids from those same families said they could get to those guns within two hours.

“Making the guns inaccessible doesn’t just mean locking them. It means making sure the kid doesn’t know where the keys are or can’t guess the combination,” said Catherine Barber, a senior researcher at the Harvard University T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Injury Control Research Center, who was not involved in the study. “Parents can forget how easily their kids can guess the combination or watch them input the numbers or notice where the keys are kept.”

If teens have their own guns for hunting or sport, those, too, should be kept under parental control when the guns are not actively being used, she said.

e Colorado researchers now plan to dig further to nd out where teens are accessing guns in hopes of tailoring prevention strategies to di erent groups of students.

“Contextualizing these data a little bit further will help us better understand types of education and prevention that can be done,” McCarthy said.

Colorado snowpack tops 140% in good year

Reservoirs remain low

BY JERD SMITH FRESH WATER NEWS

Colorado is awash in white this spring, with statewide snowpack topping 140% of average this week, well above the reading a year ago, when it stood at just 97% of normal.

“Conditions in the American West are way better than they were last year at this time,” state climatologist Russ Schumacher said at a recent joint meeting of the Water Availability Task Force and the Governor’s Flood Task Force. “In Colorado we went from drought covering most of the state to most of the state being out of drought.”

Like other Western states, mountain snowpacks in Colorado are closely monitored because as they melt in the spring and summer, their runo delivers much of the state’s water.

A drought considered to be the worst in at least 1,200 years has devastated water supplies across the West. While no one is suggesting the dry spell is over, Colorado water ofcials said 2023 will likely allow for a signi cant recovery in reservoirs and soil moisture.

e snow is deepest in the southwestern part of the state, where the San Juan/Dolores river basin is seeing a snowpack of 179% of average.

e Yampa Basin, in the northwest

corner of Colorado, is also nearing historic highs, with snowpack registering 145% of average, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service Snow Survey.

ere is considerably less white stu east of the Continental Divide in the Arkansas River Basin, where snowpack remains slightly below average and in the South Platte Basin, where snowpack is just above average.

e outlook for the seven-state Colorado River Basin has improved dramatically as well, with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, in its March 15 report, showing that Lake Powell is likely to see some 10.44 million acre-feet of new water supply by the end of September, or in ows at 109% average.

e Colorado River Basin includes seven states, with Colorado, New

at Colorado is seeing such spectacular snow levels this spring, bodes well for everyone. “ is is good news for the Colorado River Basin, no doubt about that,” Schumacher said.

Still the drought-strapped Colorado River system will see little storage recovery this year, according to Reclamation, which is forecasting that Lake Powell will see storage at just 32% of capacity by the end of the year. It had dropped to just 23% of capacity last year, prompting ongoing emergency releases from Utah’s Flaming Gorge Reservoir to help keep the system from crashing.

Within Colorado, statewide reservoir storage this month stands at 80% of average, up slightly from this time last year when it registered 75% of average.

Reservoirs within Colorado are expected to see a signi cant boost in storage levels. Colorado’s largest reservoir, Blue Mesa, was just

36% full earlier this month, but is projected to receive enough new water this year that it will be 71% full by the end of the year, according to Reclamation.

Flood task force o cials said the deep snows, particularly in the southwestern and northwestern corners of the state, could cause ooding this spring and summer, especially if there is a series of hot, dry, windy days or major rain storms.

“We are blessed in large part because our snowpack tends to run o in a well-behaved manner,” said Kevin Houck, section chief of watershed and ood protection at the Colorado Water Conservation Board. “But I will say that I am watching things more closely this year. It’s not just the presence of snow that creates our problems. It needs to have a trigger as well. e classic trigger is the late spring warmup. And what can cause even more damage is when we get rain on snow as well.”

End of COVID emergency to usher in health system change

OFTHE

BY RACHANA PRADHAN KAISER HEALTH NEWS

e Biden administration’s decision to end the COVID-19 public health emergency in May will institute sweeping changes across the health care system that go far beyond many people having to pay more for COVID tests.

In response to the pandemic, the federal government in 2020 suspended many of its rules on how care is delivered. at transformed essentially every corner of American health care — from hospitals and nursing homes to public health and treatment for people recovering from addiction.

Now, as the government prepares to reverse some of those steps, here’s a glimpse at ways patients will be a ected:

e end of the emergency means nursing homes will have to meet higher standards for training workers.

Advocates for nursing home residents are eager to see the old, tougher training requirements reinstated, but the industry says that move could worsen sta ng shortages plaguing facilities nationwide.

In the early days of the pandemic, to help nursing homes function under the virus’s onslaught, the federal government relaxed training requirements. e Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services instituted a national policy saying nursing homes needn’t follow regulations requiring nurse aides to undergo at least 75 hours of state-approved training. Normally, a nursing home couldn’t employ aides for more than four months unless they met those requirements.

Last year, CMS decided the relaxed training rules would no longer apply nationwide, but states and facilities could ask for

permission to be held to the lower standards. As of March, 17 states had such exemptions, according to CMS — Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and Washington — as did 356 individual nursing homes in Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C.

Nurse aides often provide the most direct and labor-intensive care for residents, including bathing and other hygiene-related tasks, feeding, monitoring vital signs, and keeping rooms clean. Research has shown that nursing homes with sta ng instability maintain a lower quality of care.

Advocates for nursing home residents are pleased the training exceptions will end but fear that the quality of care could nevertheless deteriorate. at’s because CMS has signaled that, after the looser standards expire, some of the hours that nurse aides logged during the pandemic could count toward their 75 hours of required training. Onthe-job experience, however, is not necessarily a sound substitute for the training workers missed, advocates argue.

Adequate training of aides is crucial so “they know what they’re doing before they provide care, for their own good as well as for the residents,” said Toby Edelman, a senior policy attorney for the Center for Medicare Advocacy.

e American Health Care Association, the largest nursing home lobbying group, released a December survey  nding that roughly 4 in 5

Columbine edges Cherokee Trail and Pine Creek in top-10 girls soccer showdowns

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Columbine girls soccer remained perfect on the season last week with a pair of victories at Lakewood Memorial Field.

e Rebels — No. 7 in last week’s CHSAANow.com Class 5A girls soccer rankings — faced their toughest test so far this season March 28 in No. 4 Cherokee Trail. Despite being shorthanded, Columbine notched a 1-0 victory over the Cougars (3-1 record).

“We aren’t worried about the players that are missing. We are only worried about the players that are here,” Columbine coach Paul Moline said. “We had to shift a couple of players around. Some players that normally help us out with depth stepped up and played crucial roles today. It’s exciting.”

Columbine’s leading goal scorer — senior Andrea Iljkic — will be gone for two weeks, but she has a good reason. Iljkic is currently with the Croatia national team.

“How great is that? What an opportunity,” said Moline, who added that Iljkic’s teammates were all supportive of the Rebels’ leading scorer taking a bit of a hiatus from her high school team.

Iljkic had 14 goals in 19 games for the Rebels as a junior last season. She netted four goals in Columbine’s season opener against Golden back on March 10.

“It is tough without Andrea here at times, but we all lled our roles and did what we had to do,” Columbine se-

nior captain Sydney Somers said after the shutout victory against Cherokee Trail.

e lone goal Tuesday came o the foot of Columbine senior Jaycie Hayes in the 21st minute of the rst half. Junior Samantha Carter made a solid run down the right wing before centering the ball that found Hayes.

“(Carter) has all that speed and can draw players wide,” Moline said.

Hayes put the ball past Cougar sophomore goalie Ruby Arsenault. It was the only goal the Rebels needed

as they recored their second shutout victory of the young season.

“We knew we would probably be the underdog coming into this one. at wasn’t our mindset when we came out on the eld,” Somers said. “We knew we were the team that wanted to win the most. We just worked as hard as we could and got that rst goal.”

Columbine freshman goalie Ella Rieben got the shutout victory in net.

Cherokee Trail had a couple of prime scoring chances. Senior Torie Turner hit the post in the 15th minute.

It appeared the Cougars had tied the game at 1-1 in the 49th minute, but the play was ruled o side.

e Rebels (6-0) are o to their best start on the pitch in well over a decade, including Columbine run to the 5A state championship in 2014.  Moline has coached a handful of girls and boys Je co soccer programs over the past three decades has returned to his high school alma mater this season.

“We are trying to learn how to play together right now,” Moline said. “As long as we are playing hard and within what we are working on. It’s slowing coming together. I think they are starting to galvanize a bit. at is great for us.”

Columbine had a handful of Division I players that graduated a semester early to join their college programs this spring. e Rebels lost 2-1 to Broom eld in the 5A state semi nals last spring.

“Our goal is to get closer as a team and improve,” Somers said. “We haven’t played together that much. A lot of my teammates now I have never played with before. We want to keep growing as a team and improving. I think we are already doing that.”

e Rebels kept the winning streak going with a 2-1 double-overtime victory over No. 5 Pine Creek on March 31 back at Lakewood Memorial Field.

D’Evelyn baseball shuts out Pueblo Centennial

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

DENVER — D’Evelyn senior pitcher

Tate Aurich didn’t have an issue with a long period of inactivity during the bottom of the second inning April 1. e Jaguars’ starting pitcher was a spectator as D’Evelyn — No. 8 in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A baseball rankings — piled up 11 runs all with two outs in the second inning against Pueblo Centennial.

“I was sitting there just waiting and then Coach Porreco told me I better go stretch out,” Aurich said after the Jaguars’ 15-0 home victory. “I expect a lot of those because we have a lot of good hitters. ere is a lot of times that I’ll be waiting for a while with how much we put the ball in play.”

Senior Jack McMann got it started with a 1-out double in the second inning. After a ground out by senior Kannon Perry, the Jaguars (4-2 record) went on an impressive run. Eleven straight batters reached base on Pueblo Centennial starting pitcher Jack Espinoza.

“With Tate shoving it up on the

mound we had to help him out,” McMann said of the 11-run second inning. “It feels good to get it going,

especially with two outs.”

Senior Colin Kim had a big 3-run triple during the o ensive explosion.

Senior Kyle Vanek had a 2-run double and senior Gabe Jackson capped o the inning with an RBI single to put the Jaguars up 11-0 heading to the third inning.

“Tate did really well and then we came out really hitting after the rst inning,” D’Evelyn coach Dan Porreco said. “ at really helped. Everyone came out and hit today.”

e Jaguars nished with 10 hits, while taking advantage of four walks and three Bulldog errors in just the three frames D’Evelyn batted. It was the second straight blowout victory for the Jaguars. D’Evelyn hammered Elizabeth 19-0 earlier in the week.

“We said after the Florida trip (Spring Break) it was going to be a new start to our season,” McMann said.

It was the best outing of the season so far for Aurich. e senior got roughed up a little bit giving up eight runs in four innings against Prairie View in his last appearance.

“I felt like I had everything,” Aurich said of his 64-pitch outing that lasted

just four inning due to the 15-run mercy rule. “We have been working a lot with the coaches. At the beginning of the year I had to work out somethings. It felt good to get back on track.”

Aurich gave up just two hits and a walk while striking out seven. He nished the game striking out the side in the top of the fourth game to end the game.

“He (Aurich) is a bulldog and we play well behind him defensively,” Porreco said.

Porreco has a senior-ladened squad this season coming o an 4A state semi nal appearance last year. Sophomore Ryan Kim has had an impressive start on the mound with a 0.78 ERA and a dozen strikeouts in

nine innings pitched so far.

“I think we are where we need to be right now,” Porreco said. “We have a long way to go, but this is a good start for us after coming back (from Florida).”

D’Evelyn is scheduled to face No. 2 Windsor on the road Wednesday, April 5, before diving into 4A Je co League play against Standley Lake on ursday, April 6. e Jaguars and No. 1 Golden — both quali ers for the eight-time 4A state tournament last season — are expected to be the teams to beat in 4A Je co this spring.

“I think our league is going to be tough again,” Porreco said. “Golden is really good. Green Mountain has been playing well. Evergreen is always there.”

facilities were dealing with moderate to high levels of staff shortages.

A looming rollback of broader access to buprenorphine, an important medication for people in recovery from opioid addiction, is alarming patients and doctors.

During the public health emergency, the Drug Enforcement Administration said providers could prescribe certain controlled substances virtually or over the phone without first conducting an in-person medical evaluation. One of those drugs, buprenorphine, is an opioid that can prevent debilitating withdrawal symptoms for people trying to recover from addiction to other opioids. Research has shown using it more than halves the risk of overdose.

Amid a national epidemic of opioid addiction, if the expanded policy for buprenorphine ends, “thousands of people are going to die,” said Ryan Hampton, an activist who is in recovery.

The DEA in late February proposed regulations that would partly roll back the prescribing of controlled substances through telemedicine. A clinician could use telemedicine to order an initial 30-day supply of medications such as buprenorphine, Ambien, Valium, and Xanax, but patients would need an in-person evalua -

tion to get a refill.

For another group of drugs, including Adderall, Ritalin, and oxycodone, the DEA proposal would institute tighter controls. Patients seeking those medications would need to see a doctor in person for an initial prescription.

David Herzberg, a historian of drugs at the University at Buffalo, said the DEA’s approach reflects a fundamental challenge in developing drug policy: meeting the needs of people who rely on a drug that can be abused without making that drug too readily available to others.

The DEA, he added, is “clearly seriously wrestling with this problem.”

During the pandemic, CMS has tried to limit problems that could arise if there weren’t enough

health care workers to treat patients — especially before there were COVID vaccines when workers were at greater risk of getting sick.

For example, CMS allowed hospitals to make broader use of nurse practitioners and physician assistants when caring for Medicare patients. And new physicians not yet credentialed to work at a particular hospital — for example, because governing bodies lacked time to conduct their reviews — could nonetheless practice there.

Other changes during the public health emergency were meant to shore up hospital capacity. Critical access hospitals, small hospitals located in rural areas, didn’t have to comply with federal rules for Medicare stating they were limited to 25 inpatient beds and patients’ stays could not exceed 96 hours, on average.

Once the emergency ends, those exceptions will disappear.

Hospitals are trying to persuade federal officials to maintain multiple COVID-era policies beyond the emergency or work with Congress to change the law.

The way state and local public health departments monitor the spread of disease will change after the emergency ends, because the Department of Health and Human Services won’t be able to require labs to report COVID testing data.

Without a uniform, federal requirement, how states and counties track the spread of the coronavirus will vary. In addition, though hospitals will still

provide COVID data to the federal government, they may do so less frequently.

Public health departments are still getting their arms around the scope of the changes, said Janet Hamilton, executive director of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists.

In some ways, the end of the emergency provides public health officials an opportunity to rethink COVID surveillance. Compared with the pandemic’s early days, when at-home tests were unavailable and people relied heavily on labs to determine whether they were infected, testing data from labs now reveals less about how the virus is spreading.

Public health officials don’t think “getting all test results from all lab tests is potentially the right strategy anymore,” Hamilton said. Flu surveillance provides a potential alternative model: For influenza, public health departments seek test results from a sampling of labs.

“We’re still trying to work out what’s the best, consistent strategy. And I don’t think we have that yet,” Hamilton said.

Kaiser Health News is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues. Together with Policy Analysis and Polling, KHN is one of the three major operating programs at Kaiser Family Foundation. KFF is an endowed nonprofit organization providing information on health issues to the nation.

‘They know what they’re doing before they provide care, for their own good as well as for the residents.’
