Lakewood and Wheat Ridge open the holiday season with lights and celebrations

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wheat Ridge and Lakewood are in the thick of the holiday season. Both cities opened the month of December with holiday celebrations.

The Wheat Ridge Holiday Celebration on Dec. 2 at The Green at 38th expanded outside of The Green to encompass several businesses along 38th Avenue and High Street. Local businesses added free holiday treats, crafts and activities to go along with the tree-lighting ceremony.

The city and local businesses sponsored booths on The Green that included free hot cider and cocoa, free s’more making and a cash bar for the adults.

The public was treated with free rides along High Street and 38th Avenue.

The Polar Express trackless mini train boarded at Stevens Elementary, while the horse-drawn carriage rides loaded and unloaded in front of Hendrix Salon.

The business offerings included hair tinsel and face painting by Hendrix

Salon, fresh cookies and games at The Grange and temporary holiday tattoos at Solone Bellissimo. The Wheat Ridge Visitor’s Center hosted a photo booth sponsored by Ester Gold’s Marketplace, while the Artcentric offered ornament making.

Mayor Bud Starker and the city council took the stage after the Wheat Ridge High School Singers serenaded the crowd with holiday classics. The official tree was lit up promptly at 6:15 p.m.

Lakewood Lights on Dec. 1 at Heritage Belmar Park included an evening of activities throughout the park such as holiday music by local groups, like Green Mountain High School’s Shadows of the Mountain Choir. Santa was available for the kids, and refreshments were offered, including fresh cocoa and cookies. Just after dusk, Mayor Wendi Strom led the crowd in a lively lighting of the official Christmas tree and also of the entire park. You can see the moment on the city of Lakewood’s Facebook page.

Businesses along 38th Avenue offered a variety of free activities, treats, and goods during the Holiday Celebration. Kera Clyde, owner of Hendrix Salon, is seen here installing tinsel into 10-year-old Emme Simpson’s hair. Hendrix PHOTO BY JO DAVIS Salon also offered free face painting.

Jeffco is spending $45 million at schools that have welcomed students from closed buildings

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT

The Jeffco district spent more than $45 million on upgrades to schools taking in students from the 16 elementary schools that closed at the end of last school year.

That cost includes projects that were specifically designed to accommodate the new students, but also projects that were in the works before.

Last December, district staff told the board they expected to spend up to $32 million to expand classrooms, buy new furniture, retrofit buildings that needed to accommo-

date students with disabilities, or create preschool classrooms.

Figures obtained by Chalkbeat through an open records request this month show the district ultimately ended up spending $45.3 million at 22 welcoming schools.

But the district could not say how much of that difference is because of higher than anticipated costs, or covering the projects already in the works and not related to the school closures.

The figure includes $7.5 million specifically used to add preschool classrooms as the state rolled out universal preschool. Campbell Elementary, for instance, one of the

16 closed schools, was turned into a preschool center for the area and had more than $3 million in upgrades. Preschool classrooms are regulated to require certain building accommodations for preschoolage children.

Jeffco schools have had declining enrollment for years. After a few sudden school closures, the district started a comprehensive plan to close several schools. The district said it would help its budget, but also was concerned about the limitations of what small schools offered students and the inequities growing from school to school. The school closures are estimated to

save the district $12 million a year in ongoing operating expenses, but renovating other schools to receive those students has proved more expensive than the district expected.

Seanin Rosario, Jeffco’s executive director of finance, planning, and analysis, said the costs specifically related to accommodating more students are “most likely closer” to the $32 million estimated a year ago. “Our system was not able to track only welcoming schools’ projects because there are instances where the projects overlapped,” she wrote in an email.

Local veterinarians offer information, caution on infectious canine respiratory illness

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An infectious respiratory illness is impacting dogs across the country, including in Colorado, but national and local veterinarians say there are a lot of unknowns about the illness.

The illness may be caused by several factors, according to City Vet Highlands Ranch Veterinary Clinic Dr. Jessica Shepler.

“I know some of the specialists have tested animals and received some inconclusive results,” Shepler said.

She described the illness as akin to a known bacterium but also showing traits of known viruses.

“When I’m speaking to clients, I’m definitely referencing it as a bacteria or virus. Because I just don’t know,” she said. “We’re not convinced that it’s not multiple things going on at once, either.”

Although there are so many unknowns, Shepler and other local vets have been following the illness for several months.

“This is something that has been going on for many months for us,” Shepler said. “We first started seeing it early summer, like May-June timeframe. And it progressively got a little bit worse.”

She said that the news has peaked now because the story has gotten out

on social media.

“I was actually kind of surprised when I started hearing all the news stories coming out about it, because we have we’ve been dealing with it for more than six months,” she said.

Treating area pets has helped Shepler and other Colorado veterinarians, including the veterinarian team at Colorado State University.

“CSU has been instrumental in helping increase diagnostic testing in hopes of finding a primary cause of the outbreak,” said Dr. Gillian Gwartz, program veterinarian in the State Veterinarian’s Office. “We still don’t have a single conclusive causative agent, but we’re working with select vet clin-

ics to try to get more samples to see if we can find a pattern.”

This information helps vets guide pet owners in how to prevent the mystery illness and on what to do if their pet becomes ill.

The most important thing is to vaccinate the animals and yourselves, according to Dr. Shepler.

“We’re not seeing terribly high numbers when it comes to death rates or those severe infections,” Shepler said.

“But it is a persistent cough. I think the basics are still the same. Make sure that you’re healthy and vaccinated before interacting with others.

I think the same goes for our pets.

“Just make sure that your pets are fully vaccinated, that they have all their core vaccines like rabies, and Parvo, distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza,” Shepler continued. “And that we’re also vaccinating them regularly for Bordetella as well as the canine influenza or the canine flu.”

Shepler said that vaccines may not prevent pets from falling ill, but it will ensure that several possible contributors to the mystery illness are covered.

“It’s not going to provide 100% immunity. No vaccine does,” Shepler said. “But it does give the dog’s body something to go off of and some information (for vets) to start tracking.”

At a recent panel by Trupanion pet insurance, Colorado State University’s Dr. Michael Lappin, a professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences reassured pet owners that going to the vet for those vaccines and checks was not a risk.

He said that the facilities have biosecurity protocols in place to keep pets, owners and staff safe.

“If you’re only there for your routine vaccines, or you’re there for your cancer appointment or your ear infection appointment, we still want people to come in,” he said. “We’re doing our security measures. So, your animal won’t catch those things while you’re there.”

Outside of vaccinations, vets are not calling for precautions with healthy pets. According to Shepler, pet owners shouldn’t worry until there are serious symptoms. She urges owners to take a coughing dog to the vet to get evaluated and treated early.

“I think pet owners should start worrying when their pet is not acting like themselves,” she said. “If they’re not eating and drinking, if they seem extra tired, or lethargic if they have any sort of difficulty breathing, where it seems like their breath is really shallow, or that they can expand their chest completely or fill their lungs with air. Obviously, that is much more concerning and becomes an emergency situation.”

She went on to say that any dog, “with a cough should get checked out, just to make sure that everything is stable, and then to get started on appropriate treatment.”

There is a risk of pneumonia and other more severe illnesses connected to this mysterious condition. However, Shepler said that local vets are seeing a vast majority of dogs who get the illness recover.

know is that while a few pets are getting some secondary complications that can be more life-threatening, the vast majority of the pets that we’ve seen at least, are very stable,” said Shepler. “They come in with good energy. They come in with normal vital signs, but owners just report this persistent nagging cough.”

Shepler urges pet owners to see a vet when the cough starts. In addition, she reassures owners that most pets are coming out of the illness just fine.

“In the 20-25 cases that we’ve seen here at the City Vet clinic, we only have two or three that have needed more significant intervention because they have developed a secondary pneumonia,” Shepler said. “So for the most part, this is an annoying disease. But for many of our patients, it has not become life-threatening.”

Hoping to boost math scores, Colorado invests in second year of Zearn

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT COLORADO

As camera shutters clicked and politicians and policymakers huddled in the back of a Denver classroom, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis walked between the desks of sixth graders whose eyes and ears were glued to their computer screens, multiplying fractions.

The program the students were using, Zearn Math, is a key part of Polis’ plan to boost math scores in Colorado and help students recover from the pandemic.

After Polis left, several of the 11-year-olds in Lin’s class gave Zearn mostly positive reviews.

Kevin Villalba said he likes “the sprint,” which is when Zearn gives students a limited amount of time to answer as many math questions as they can. Mia Villa likes the practice questions, and how, if she gets an answer wrong, Zearn explains why and shows her the right steps.

“I sometimes have trouble with math,” Villa said. “Before I had a D or a C, and now I have a B or an A in math.” Zearn, she added, “helps a lot of kids get better in their math.”

But across the table, Valeria Sierra said she’s “not that big of a fan.”

“It could be stressful,” Sierra said, especially a Zearn feature called “the tower of power.”

“If you do a mistake, it removes all your progress,” Sierra said. “And at the same time, it’s kind of hard because it’s a little bit different [from] how our teachers teach us math.

And it’s sometimes difficult because the videos they show us doesn’t explain that much.”

It’s more important for Colorado schools to prepare students for the workforce than to prepare them to attend college.

That’s the opinion of more than 60% of respondents in a recent poll of education attitudes among Colorado voters. Magellan Strategies surveyed a representative group of 1,550 Colorado registered voters in September. The survey has a margin of error of 2.5%.

Magellan Strategies has done regular polling about education attitudes for several years. This is the first time the firm has included questions about CTE and higher education attitudes.

Respondents cited the high cost of college and questioned how useful college is to helping graduates get jobs, even though the majority of the respondents had a bachelor’s degree or higher themselves. Registered voters as a group have higher education and higher income levels than the general population.

Magellan Strategies CEO David Flaherty said some Republicans and conservatives brought up ideo-

people of the value of a four-year degree. Those respondents still thought education after high school was important, but they were more interested in trade schools, industry certificates, and two-year programs that would help them get good-paying jobs with less debt.

Flaherty said colleges should take note of the findings, especially as they brace for declining enrollment. They need to get costs under control and show families and policy makers that an education is worth the investment of time and money, he said.

The flip side is that career and technical education scores very well with voters and helps counter concerns among conservative voters that schools are on the wrong track, Flaherty said.

Magellan found that more than half of respondents weren’t sure if their local school districts offered career and technical education, but more than 86% would have a more favorable view of their school district if they knew about such programs, which can range from auto mechanics and cosmetology to health sciences and graphic design.

The poll showed that nearly half of voters think that schools are on the wrong track, and less than a third think they’re on the right track. That’s a worse view of education than voters had before the pandemic but similar to more recent polls.

Church blesses ski equipment in Aspen for the season ahead

Father Joe Grady blesses parishioners’ skis at St. Mary Catholic Church in Aspen on Nov. 19, 2023. The annual tradition is an opportunity for the church community to pray for safety in the mountains and abundant snowfall on the slopes.

COURTESY OF ASPEN PUBLIC RADIO

BY KAYA WILLIAMS ASPEN PUBLIC RADIO

In some Catholic communities, where agriculture or fishing drive the economy, a priest might bless farm equipment or a fleet of boats.

But in Aspen, where the main industry is recreation and hospitality, parishioners bring their skis and other winter sports equipment to church for a good dousing of holy water.

The “Blessing of the Skis and Snowboards” is an annual tradition at St. Mary Catholic Church. Father Joe Grady invoked St. Bernard, the patron saint of the Alps (and of skiers, snowboarders, hikers and climbers) during the blessing on a recent Sunday.

“Bless, O Lord, we pray, these skis — that all who use them in traversing mountains, heights and precipices, in powder and in snow, in blizzard and in tempest, may be preserved from all danger and catastrophe, traveling without harm on their journey and returning safely to their homes,” Grady prayed.

Deacon Phil Harrington also led a series of prayers for “peace, prosperity and safety,” for “abundant snowfall,” and for the hospitality and resort workers who welcome

visitors to Aspen and support the community’s economy.

“And we pray for all those who have died on these mountains, especially those who worked in the silver mines, or skied on these hills, for their quick entry into paradise, and for the peace and consolation of their families,” Harrington prayed.

The ceremony is unusual, even for a ski town, but it’s fitting for the community at St. Mary: parishioners sometimes attend mass in their ski clothes, and a former pastor, Father Darrick Leier, hit the slopes with a custom snowboard that had “Ave Maria” printed on the base.

This winter, Grady said he hopes to organize some community ski days as a “less intimidating” way for new people to connect with the church.

“What we do during the week is not disconnected from what we do here on Sunday,” Grady told those who came for the blessing.

What is the reason for power cost increases?

Colorado utility bills keep growing although the price of electricity is static

BY MARK JAFFE THE COLORADO SUN

Bill Levis has tracked the ups and downs of utility bills for the past 14 years, first as director of the state Office of Consumer Counsel and then as a consultant for AARP, which represents retirees and older citizens.

And when it comes to electricity bills, especially from the state’s largest provider Xcel Energy, the trend has gone in only one direction — up.

Since 2019 the average monthly residential bill, for 600 kilowatt-hours

of electricity, has risen 38% to $92.12, based on company figures. Utility bills are one of the biggest regular dings to any household’s budget, and with every Xcel announcement, the High Cost of Colorado marches upward.

“We know it is going to go even higher as we go to renewables and they phase out coal-fired plants,” said Levis, whose office was the predecessor to the Office of the Utility Consumer Advocate.

Electricity bills aren’t subject solely to the same market forces as food, or even rent.

There are a host of things that go into rising electricity bills from the price of natural gas to run turbines to the cost of building new power stations and transmission lines to a raft of state mandated clean energy pro-

grams.

And let’s not forget, in addition to all those requirements Xcel Energy is also a business in search of a profit, which means there are shareholder and bondholder expectations to be met.

The rates customers pay are set by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission based on the investments Xcel Energy makes to run its grid and meet demand. Xcel Energy gets to recover its investment plus a return set by the PUC. It is growing these investments, the so-called rate base, that raises bills and fuels profits and shareholder dividends. When Xcel Energy built the coal-fired Comanche 3 power plant for $1 billion, customers paid for it. Customers will pay for the $1.7 billion Power Pathway transmission line being built.

Customers will also pay nearly $1 billion closing three coal-fired plants, most of it for the unamortized part of Comanche 3 which has suffered chronic breakdowns since it opened in 2010.

“It is never the energy company that ends up paying for mistakes, such as Comanche 3,” Levis said. “The frustration consumers have is that the energy company has no downside.”

And if customers are unhappy, they don’t have the option of shopping

around for a new provider of electricity or natural gas like they can with cars, insurance or food. Xcel has a franchise that makes it a monopoly in the areas it serves.

Xcel Energy is now proposing another $10 billion in rate base investments as part of its Clean Energy Plan, which will cut the utility’s greenhouse gas emissions 87% over 2005 levels.

“The legislature has also played a role in raising bills,” Levis said. “I don’t think they realize the impact.”

In the last five years the General Assembly has passed at least 14 bills directing the state’s utilities and PUC to initiate programs to do such things as such as promote energy efficient appliances and electric vehicles, and to develop clean energy plans.

Those laws allowed utilities to do things like add charges to customer bills for new programs. Or they enabled Xcel Energy to accelerate recovery of funds or include performance incentives, offering a bonus if the utility contains project costs and meets deadlines.

Xcel Energy in its filings with the PUC points out that base rates have not risen much above the rate of inflation, and that its price per kilowatt-hour in Colorado is lower than the national average.

In 2022, the average Xcel Energy residential charge was 12.7 cents a kilowatt-hour compared with a national average of 15 cents, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Utilities are also allowed to pass the cost of fuel directly to customers from the Energy Cost Adjustment. That adjustment “goes up and

Among conservatives, negative views of schools appeared to be shaped by national conservative media, Flaherty said, with respondents noting concerns about how schools handle gender identity and whether books in school libraries contain sexual content. Progressive voters are concerned about low funding and what they see as conservative attacks on public education.

Compared to last year, more Colorado voters said schools would provide a better education if they had more money — 61% compared with 56% in April 2022. But nearly half of respondents said they doubted their

That winter storm in Texas shutdown natural gas fields in February 2021 and sent natural gas prices soaring 300%. Xcel Energy incurred an extra $500 million in charges that Colorado customers are now paying off in installments over 30 months.

Last winter natural gas prices spiked again, doubling and tripling utility bills (mainly for natural gas heating) and sent thousands of families scrambling for help with their bills from government and non-

profit organizations.

Meanwhile, Xcel Energy has met or exceeded its earnings guidance for shareholders for 18 consecutive years and between 2018 and 2022 corporate profits rose 38% to a record $1.7 billion.

“They never take a write-off against shareholders for something like Storm Uri,” Levis said. “It is always on the ratepayers.”

Those ratepayers, or customers, are left with a cryptic electric bill with 13 different charges pumped up by four rate increases, one on top of an-

other, since 2020 — a phenomenon consumer advocates call pancaking.

local school district was managing its finances wisely.

Asked about their top priorities, respondents said schools should focus on attracting and retaining high-quality educators, raising pay to keep pace with inflation, and preparing students for the workforce.

Magellan also asked respondents how they feel about the prospect of closing schools. With lower birth rates, many Colorado school districts are seeing fewer students, which in turn means less state funding. Jeffco Public Schools, the state’s second largest school district, closed 21 schools in the last two years, despite pushback from parents. Others, such as Denver Public Schools, have balked at widespread closures in the face of community backlash.

When the downsides of small schools — such as offering fewer

students services and less arts programming due to budget constraints — were explained to respondents, more than half said that school dis-

tricts should consider closing schools.

VOICES A warning from the snowbirds

N

o, this isn’t about those folks who spend their winters in Arizona or Florida. The snowbird behind this warning is an actual bird, the dark-eyed junco, a small creature you probably know if you have a bird feeder and maybe even if you don’t.

Trim, gray sparrows that flash white tail feathers as they take flight, juncos are called snowbirds because they arrive in our towns with the coming of snow. Come spring, they head back up into the mountains or north to Canada and Alaska for nesting.

Juncos are among the West’s most familiar birds, reliable companions on summer hikes and winter days.

The total population of the species is estimated to be around 200 million. Juncos are in no danger of extinction, so, what warning could they be giving us?

Juncos may be abundant but they are also in sharp decline. According to the Breeding Bird Survey, a decades-long monitoring study of the nation’s birds, junco populations are down by 42% since the surveys began in the late 1960s.

But here is the peculiar part: There is no obvious reason for this loss of millions of birds. Juncos are adaptable, not requiring some disappear-

ing habitat. They

North American bird populations

in the coal mine: the bird that min-

tions to the tropics.

Poisons or toxins don’t seem to pose a special threat to them.

What seems to be killing juncos is simply ... everything.

Based on nuPepper Trail merous studies, the leading human-related cause of death among birds is predation by cats: over 2 billion (yes, billion) birds killed per year in North America.

This is followed by collisions: windows, 600 million birds; vehicles, 200 million; powerlines and communication towers, 43 million.

Then there are pesticides and toxics, 72 million, lead poisoning, 12 million, and oil and wastewater pits, 1 million. That adds up to well over 3 billion dead birds per year.

Nothing on this list is a deliberate effort to get rid of juncos or other birds. They’re just byproducts of the way we conduct ourselves in the world.

These dangers, of course, are not faced just by juncos. A review of

The researchers summarized their findings in no uncertain terms: “This loss of bird abundance signals an urgent need to address threats to avert future avifaunal collapse and associated loss of ecosystem integrity, function and services.”

It’s not just bird populations that are collapsing. Insect populations are crashing as well. Studies from the United States, Europe and Asia over the past 10 years document shocking declines in insect populations, as much as 50 to 75%.

If you’re plagued by swarms of mosquitoes in the summer, you might think that’s not such a bad thing. But insects are crucial to the functioning of just about every ecosystem on Earth, serving as pollinators, decomposers and as food for countless species of critters higher up the food chain.

Is there an exception to this relentless litany of population declines? Why, yes. It’s us. Since 1970, the human population of the United States has grown by more than 60%, while bird populations have fallen by a third. That doesn’t seem like a coincidence.

Everyone has heard of the canary

carbon monoxide. With its small size and fast metabolism, the canary would collapse before the gas reached levels fatal to humans, giving the miners just enough time to escape.

We need to see the humble snowbird for what it is: Our “canary in the world.” When even the commonest wild species are suffering drastic declines, do we really believe that a world inhospitable to our fellow creatures will continue to be hospitable to us? As one species after another dwindles away, the structure of the ecosystems that sustain life on Earth is weakening.

The familiar flash of a junco’s white tail feathers as I hike along a mountain trail always brings a smile to my face. It’s a reminder that keeping common species common is essential to keeping this beautiful planet livable, and for that, I say thank you, little snowbird.

Top five films from the 20th annual Vail Film Festival

t’s rare to find a modern film festival that goes out of its way to celebrate the world of independent cinema and the filmmakers who make that world so thrilling. Over the its first 20 years, the Vail Film Festival has made this celebration one of its guiding ethos, along with a focus on works made by female filmmakers.

And aside from two decades in existence, the festival had something else to celebrate during this year’s run from Dec. 7 through 10 — the return of an in-person event for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.

‘Chasing Chasing Amy’

For more information: www.chasingamydoc.com It’s difficult to imagine a more personal filmmaking project than Sav Rodgers’ funny and insightful documentary, “Chasing Chasing Amy.” The film tells the story of Rodgers’ obsession with Kevin Smith’s ’90s queer rom-com and how it provided a crucial lifeline to a young Kansas teen when it was needed most.

Rodgers artfully blends the historical, personal and political, exploring how and why the film was made, the ways it helped and further marginalized the LGBTQIA+ movement and how it inspired him on his own path to finding personal love and acceptance.

Anyone who has found hope and salvation in art will love the film, because it’s the best kind of cinematic love letter — one right from the heart.

S

taring into a kiln glowing orange at 2,350 degrees, an artist armed with thick leather gloves holds a fragile piece of molten glass at the end of a steel rod.

This is the point where creativity, talent and inspiration combine to create a one-of-a-kind piece of glass never to be duplicated.

Sand and silica are the main components; soda ash and lime are combined to the mixture as raw ingredients, Corey Siverman of The Furnace: A Glassworks in Lakewood said. Industrial glass that’s made in a factory by machines works in a different way versus what we do by hand.

The Furnace is a glass workshop that dedicates 90% of its production to retail sales, according to Siverman. Thousands of ornaments will be handmade and shipped from this location.

“I have galleries all around the country. I’ve got over 100 galleries that buy my work,” Siverman said during a recent interview at his small production facility. “I sell to magazines. I sell to corporate gift companies. I sell to a lot of retail buyers through our store here. As well as Etsy, so we have a wide variety of customers.”

The months leading up to the holidays are the busiest time of year for Siverman and his coowner and wife, Leanne.

Siverman started blowing glass objects/art more than 30 years ago, he said he’s still learning.

“You start with a clear glass that’s molten out of the furnace at 2,100 degrees, gather it up on your blowpipe, and apply a color called Frit,” Siverman said. “You then reheat the glass, shape it and put a bubble into it after you put a pattern into it with your color. Once you’ve got your shape the way you want it you let it stabilize, you finish it off and put it in the oven (about 500 degrees) for as many as 12 hours.”

The Furnace is not only a commercial facility, employing less than a dozen production and distribution assistants, it’s a learning environment, offering introductory instruction to anyone with a desire to learn the craft.

“You learn something every time you walk through the door,” Siverman said about the classes.

However, patience, practice and commitment are prerequisites.

“People ask me, ‘How long will it take me to get good?’” Silverman said. “I like to tell people it’s a 10year commitment before you’re really good at this. You have to be very committed to it.”

Yet, each piece is completely original to the artist.

“The goal is to make products that will not be like anything you’ve ever seen before,” Siverman said.

Cremation Glass Art offers ashes in eternal suspension In an unassuming garage in Greeley, an artist incorporates the cremated ashes of loved ones

and even pets into molded and forged glass pieces that are incomparable.

“For the cremation art I do believe that working with human ashes is what hits my heart and soul the most,” said Tiffany Koehn with Red Manx Studio.

During a recent visit with the artist, Koehn worked to fold, curl and mold a small piece of molten glass in a 2,150 degree gas-fired kiln.

The idea of incorporating precious ashes within the glass was conceived in 2009, Koehn said. The epiphany was achieved with a very personal story.

In 2008, Koehn’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Mom’s cancer journey and watching her and everybody in that chemo room teetering on death hit me,” Koehn said. “Mom came out of it, but there’s a lot of people in that chemo room that didn’t live through their experiences.”

“If I can help families get through it with something more special than a box on a mantel, then that’s what I want to do, especially with the children’s pieces,” Koehn said.

Here the customer, their story and vision are incorporated in each unique color selection and swirl of soft molten glass.

Koehn welcomes each buyer to be part of the process and witness the creation of the unique glass piece as it’s conceived and shaped in her small garage.

Nearly a dozen times over, Koehn heated and shaped the glass at the end of a metal pipe.

Koehn uses a unique tool made of wet wood which is created by several species of bacteria that enter a tree through wounds, keeping the wood malleable, which is perfect against the blazing hot temperatures of the molten glass.

The soft cylindrical shape of the wood creates the rounded edges with continuous turning of the delicate glass.

Koehn spends at least 18 hours repeating the process of heating, shaping, molding and cooling each glass piece.

In the end, each customer is presented with a keepsake unlike any in existence, just like their loved one.

Climate-friendly grain enticing craft distillers

BY RAE SOLOMON KUNC

In a cool, dark cellar down a flight of stairs at the Denver Distillery on South Broadway, a small batch of whiskey is slowly aging. According to a note scrawled in marker on the barrel’s end, it’s been there since April.

On a recent afternoon, General Manager Chris Anderson-Tarver wielded a hammer to knock the cork out of the top and dipped what looked like an oversized turkey baster – a device he called a barrel thief - inside to siphon some of the pale amber liquid into his snifter.

“This great aroma,” he said, pointing out some of the unique qualities wafting out of the glass. “There’s a little bit of a fruit note, a little bit of nuttiness, a little bit of an earthiness. There’s also this nice kind of buttery profile.”

An alluring profile is to be expected. As one of the very first batches of Kernza-based whiskey ever made in Colorado, this barrel was very different from the usual wheat- or ryebased whiskey the Denver Distillery usually puts out.

Kernza is a new grain that shows promise as an environmentally sustainable crop, and Anderson-Tarver has been experimenting with it to develop an innovative, climate-friendly spirit.

Chris Anderson-Tarver tries a sample of Kernza whiskey directly from the barrel.

The batch is only a few months old and isn’t yet done aging, but Anderson Tarver PHOTO BY RAE SOLOMON can taste the unique flavor of Kernza coming through.

The brew in the barrel was only a few months old—quite immature by whiskey standards—but Anderson Tarver has been sampling it every few weeks to check on its progress, which is how he already knew that Kernza wasn’t just an environmentally sustainable gimmick; it also added a striking flavor.

“Oh yeah, this is going to be so good,” he said, taking a sip. “What I’m tasting right now is a young whiskey, but there’s these incredible Fig Newton, almost raisin flavors coming through.”

According to his knowledgeable palate, this batch would probably need to continue aging for a while longer, but he didn’t really know when it would be done because, for all his experience as a distiller, Kernza whiskey was completely novel to him.

“I don’t have any data. Is it going to take two years? Is it going to take three years? Is it going to take four?” he said, shrugging. “It’s what the barrel tells us.”

But while it could be quite a long time before this small, experimental batch of Kernza whiskey emerges from the dusty obscurity of the distillery basement, it already has allies in the federal government who are invested and eager to learn from it.

Women accused of stealing $4.5 million from investors in Idaho Springs resort project indicted

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

A federal grand jury has indicted two women accused of running a title company that absconded with a $4.5 million deposit made in 2020 by an investment group planning a gondola-anchored resort and village at the Argo Mill in Idaho Springs.

“One of our big hurdles in getting new money is having to explain the theft and the lawsuit,” said Mary Jane Loevlie, whose Mighty Argo Cable Car Group sued the owners of Virginia-based First Title Inc. in April 2021 after the owners of that company allegedly took the group’s escrow deposit and used it to buy real estate

and cars. “People are like, who are you that you got $4.5 million stolen?”

The Argo investors were not alone.

A federal grand jury on Nov. 9 indicted Chrisheena Shante McGee and Sandra Pierce Bacon — the owners and operators of First Title Inc. — on charges that they stole $14.8 million in escrow deposits in 2019 and 2020 from 10 different individuals and businesses.

“Whenever I asked the FBI what was going on, they told me they had a lot of trails to follow,” Loevlie said.

“The longer it took, the more I was surmising this was a much bigger deal than just us.”

A U.S. District Court judge in September 2022 awarded the Argo in-

vestment group $8.7 million in a civil case against McGee, 47, and Bacon, 71, ruling the two “purposely defrauded the plaintiff out of millions of dollars” and “took numerous steps to cover up their fraud.”

Those steps include, for example, sending forged documents, including a doctored First Title bank statement where a “$7,1” was added to a bank account that held $20,803.89, so it showed that the company had $7,120,803.89. The criminal indictment filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Colorado said the two women transferred escrow deposits from customers of First Title into their personal accounts or to other victims who were demanding their money back. The indictment says McGhee spent nearly $199,000 on real estate, a $91,000 BMW and a Cadillac Escalade.

An Aspen investor cited in the indictment lost $1.25 million to the First Title scheme in 2019 and that investor sued the two women in July 2020 in a Texas District Court. When the Argo group sued and demanded paperwork from the owners of First Title, McGee and Bacon responded by pleading for protection against self-incrimination provided by the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment. U.S. District Judge Regina M. Rodriguez in January 2022 ordered the two women and First Title to respond, because corporations do not have rights under the Fifth Amendment.

The two women never responded and Rodriguez awarded the Argo investors $4.36 million in actual damages and $4.36 million in puni-

tive damages. So far the Argo group has received $37,000 from the two women, Loevlie said. The 12 charges outlined in the indictment — which involve wire fraud — each carry a possible sentence of 20 years in prison.

“If they are faced with jail, maybe they can find the money,” Loevlie said.

The Argo plan is still underway as the group secures new lenders. The plan calls for a 1.2-mile scenic gondola climbing from the Argo Mill site on the banks of Clear Creek in Idaho Springs up to the 450-acre Virginia Canyon Mountain Park. The group plans to develop a hotel, homes and commercial village around the Argo Mill, which processed $2.6 trillion worth of gold between1893 and 1943. (It’s that massive red structure you can see from Interstate 70 as you drive through Idaho Springs.)

The Argo investors hope to have news on their delayed project soon.

The indictment of McGee and Bacon doesn’t really matter much anymore, Loevlie said, but it helps to show outsiders how the group was swindled.

“I spoke with Chrisheena more than once. She would explain delays, saying ‘Oh it’s the polar vortex in Texas’ or ‘the money is coming in from Europe but everything is delayed because of COVID.’ They spoke with our CFO and our attorney all the time,” Loevlie said. “I want them in jail so badly, I can’t even tell you.”

DISTILLERS FROM PAGE 18

Anderson-Tarver’s trial is part of a United States Department of Agriculture study on Kernza. The USDA is overseeing a nationwide effort to understand the grain,from its performance in the field to its performance in the marketplace.

The results of that study could help transform millions of acres of future crop production and usher in a new era of perennial, regenerative agriculture.

Intermediate wheatgrass, or IWG, is a perennial prairie grass native to western Asia that was introduced in the United States in the 1930’s.

It now grows wild, inconspicuous among the mix of prairies grasses waving in fields throughout the American West.

In the early 1980s plant scientists looking for an alternative to modern,

December 14, 2023De soil-depleting annual crops noted its promise for development into a perennial grain crop. Researchers at the Land Institute, a non-profit research organization in Salina, Kansas, started breeding IWG shortly afterwards, working to increase grain size and make it more attractive as a commodity crop.

The name “intermediate wheatgrass” lacked market appeal, so the Land Institute came up with a sexier term for their efforts, christening the resulting grain “Kernza.”

The researchers who domesticated Kernza did so with regenerative agriculture in mind, making sure it retained some key advantages over conventional commodity crops like its cousin wheat. For instance, Kernza is drought resistant, with roots that grow deep—ten feet or more beneath the surface. Rather than exhausting soils, it improves them and prevents erosion.

Importantly, Kernza is also perennial—meaning farmers don’t have

to replant it every year, which saves labor and diesel and obviates tillage, the soil-depleting practice of tearing up the soil each year when new seeds are sown.

“It’s a huge shift in paradigm,” said Hana Fancher, market stewardship specialist with the Land Institute.

“So much of our agriculture is dependent on an annual system that’s pretty extractive, and the whole idea of … having a grain that is perennial, that requires less inputs, and you don’t have to plant it every year, you don’t have to till every year. That’s really huge.”

But Kernza has only recently become commercially available, and farmers have been slow to adopt it. According to the Land Institute, about 4,000 acres of Kernza are currently being grown nationwide. It has more of a foothold in the Midwest, but farmers in arid Colorado are only now just starting to take a look at it.

Farmer and maltster Todd Olan-

der is a bit of a pioneer in these very early days for Kernza in Colorado.

Last spring, Olander set aside a small field on his 2,000-acre farm in Loveland to experiment with growing Kernza.

“I mean, it’s 11 acres out of 2,000.

It’s worth a trial,” he said.

Olander was unable to harvest any grains this fall because he planted too late in the year. But the initial growth was encouraging, with tufts of broad, green Kernza blades covering the soil throughout the field.

“By the time next spring rolls around, it’ll get a nice early start and we’ll have a pretty good grain production, next year,” he said.

Olander is one of just five independent farmers not involved in a formal scientific study who have collectively planted a few dozen acres statewide, according to information the Land Institute, which tracks Kernza growers.

If Kernza is slow to gain momentum outside of the research world, that’s because from a grower’s perspective, it poses a big risk: the yield is much lower than traditional wheat and the grains are very small, making them very hard to clean and process. It’s also expensive – Kernza can cost several times as much as wheat and there isn’t yet an established market for it.

On top of that, some important scientific questions about the environmental benefits of Kernza have yet to be answered, like the plant’s capacity to sequester carbon in the soil, but Fancher says things look promising on that front, as well.

Kernza looks promising enough that it’s caught the attention of United States Department of Agriculture. Last year researchers at the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Colorado helped launch a long-term, nationwide Kernza study to fill in some of the remaining gaps in the knowledge base.

er for the USDA ARS Soil Management Sugar Beet Research Unit, who heads the Colorado portion of the study, said the objectives of the project are broad because there are still many unknowns.

“It’s early. This is the Wild West for Kernza,” he said. “Almost everything we do is the first time.”

The team in Colorado now has six acres of Kernza growing in research plots at the USDA ARS station.

The study is starting small, but the ambitions are vast. According to USDA Research Agronomist Grace Miner, the work is driven by an understanding that the continued security of the nation’s food system will depend on finding viable alternatives to conventional agriculture, which is not sustainable in the long-term.

“Wheat-fallow has been the traditional business as norm, but it has also come with a large degree of soil loss and erosion,” Miner said.

“Perennial crops - if they can provide continual soil cover and can still provide an economic return for the farmer - give that chance for the land to rebuild and rest.”

SPORTS A-West and D’Evelyn girls basketball open with wins at Jungle Jam Tournament

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

DENVER — It’s going to be a nice all-Jeffco semifinal at the Jungle Jam Tournament.

D’Evelyn (Class 5A/4A Jeffco) and Arvada West (Class 6A Jeffco) will square off in a semifinal of the girls basketball annual tournament at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 8, at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School.

“It will be a good match-up,” D’Evelyn coach Chris Olson said of facing A-West on Friday. “We played in the tournament championship game last year. It was a really good game. We want to be tested and keep that iron in the fire. Keep getting better.”

The co-host Jaguars (3-1 record) took care of business with a 58-30 win over Summit (0-2) in the first quarterfinal Wednesday night at D’Evelyn. A-West (3-0) dominated Heritage 59-23 in the nightcap.

“We are going to have our hands full on Friday,” A-West coach Brady Meeks said. “That will be our first real test. We better bring it for all 32 minutes.”

The Jaguars had a fourth-quarter rally to take a 54-49 victory over the Wildcats last year in the tournament title game. D’Evelyn had a 27-1 record last year with its lone loss in the 4A state title game against Holy Family.

“I’m excited for the challenge,” AWest junior guard Saylor Swanson said.

The annual Jungle Jam Tournament co-hosted by D’Evelyn and Littleton features A-West, Summit, Heritage, Longmont, Northfield, Sand Creek, along with the host Jaguars and Lions this year.

Littleton and Northfield will face off in the other semifinal at Littleton High School on Friday with the winner advancing to the title game against the winner of A-West/D’Evelyn on Saturday at D’Evelyn.

“It is really good to face A-West

early in the year,” D’Evelyn senior Peyton Marvel said. “We know they can shoot and they are fast. It is a great game before we get into league play and deeper in our season.”

D’Evelyn seniors Peyton Marvel (21 points) and Macy Scheer (16 points) paced the Jaguars in the victory over the Tigers (0-2).

The Jaguars had an 8-0 run to end the first half to extend their lead

to 36-19 at halftime. Marvel and Scheer combined for 24 points in the first half.

Olson admitted he is still working on getting his rotation set with some of his multiple-sport athletes just getting back on the hardwood.

“It is just kind of that balance. We are replacing two really good players and trying to figure out who will get those minutes,” Olson said. “It is just part of how it goes. We have some familiar faces, but we’ve got some new people too.”

Junior Ellie McMann is the third returning starter for the last year’s 4A state runner-up, but she is coming off a knee injury suffered this summer.

Seniors Megan Schonberger and Ingrid Dalla will be key in keeping the Jaguars’ fast-paced play going.

Freshman Colleen Monahan fits the bill to become a major piece to Olson’s game-plan this season.

“She (Monahan) can hit shots.

“We have honestly been expecting a slow start this year,” Meeks said. “We really didn’t have much time before the start of the season with so many Fall sport athletes.

You can kind of see each game things are getting a little better, but there is still a lot to work on.”

A-West started the season with an 11-0 record last year, but finished with a 5-5 record in 6A Jeffco League play.

“Everyone is still feeling out their roles and responsibilities,” Meeks said of the latest version of this Wildcats. “We see signs. It is just wondering if we can do it on a constant basics.”

She can play defense,” Marvel said of the freshman. “Once we get her out of her shell I think she is going to be a very big asset.”

One thing D’Evelyn won’t have this season is an undefeated regular season. The Jaguars lost to Rock Canyon last week.

“I think having that loss showed us the reality of things,” Marvel said of the loss to Rock Canyon. “We will lose, but it isn’t bad that we lose. I

The Wildcats held Heritage to 13 points in the final three quarters.

Swanson poured in 13 points in the first quarter to allow the Wildcats to jump out to a 22-10 victory before A-West’s defense really kicked in. Swanson finished with a game-high 17 points.

“I felt like I could have shot it a little bit more in the second half, but I really wanted to get my teammates involved,” Swanson said of having 15 of her 17 points in the first half.

DISTILLERS FROM PAGE 23

They hope their work will eventually have a broad impact on the country’s agricultural system. But a transformed agricultural system requires a transformed marketplace. Demand for Kernza needs to be built from the ground up.

In a white paper on the study, USDA researchers identified the brewing and distilling industry as a potential “high value market for Kernza, driving interest and awareness of its contribution to sustainable production systems.”

To test out that theory, the research team shipped a few hundred pounds of Kernza to two craft beverage houses in Colorado, Odell Brewing and the Denver Distillery,and asked them to experiment with the grain and provide feedback.

“We’re taking a gamble by reaching out to the brewing industry and distillers,” Kleinman said. “It’s not because that’s the ultimate end, right? The ultimate end is that millions of acres of a crop like this are

planted and that it’s brought into human nutrition, not just in the form of beer and bourbon, but in our breakfast cereals, in our breads in the meat that we eat.”

Interest from craft brewers and distillers Marni Wahlquist, Head Brewer at the Odell Brewing Company’s Sloan’s Lake Brewhouse, initially became interested in Kernza after watching a documentary film highlighting its environmental benefits.

“I am in general interested in anything new that I can play around with in the brewhouse. I’m very adventurous,” she said. “But with something sustainable— grass that’s perennial—I was very excited.”

It took a few years, but she finally got her chance to put Kernza to the test when the USDA researchers sent her a bag of the grains last spring.

Her first project was a small batch Kernza hazy IPA. A few months later, she collaborated with Patagonia Provisions to create her second Kernza brew, a Kernza lager.

At the Denver Distillery, Chris Anderson-Tarver had a similar fascination with the environmental promise of Kernza. “We like to play around with unusual ingredients. But as a

distillery, we actually really, really care how our grain is grown,” he said.

Denver Distillery is committed to using only local, sustainable grains.

“Kernza fit the bill for us in that not only did it have really interesting problems it was trying to tackle but also we have a sense that it will be probably successfully grown in Colorado,” Anderson-Tarver said.

Of course, beer has the advantage of a shorter turnover time than aged whiskey—it takes just a few weeks to finish a brew cycle—so whereas Anderson-Tarver must be patient, Wahlquist has been able to test her Kernza experiments in the marketplace.

The Kernza lager and hazy IPA have been on tap intermittently at the brewhouse. When they’re available, the menu features a short blurb on the benefits of Kernza. Both brews have been popular with customers, but not necessarily because of their climate bonafides.

“People don’t read a lot the descriptions of the beers,” Wahlquist said adding that her customers care more about the type of beer they’re drinking than its backstory. “Hazies generally sell very well. People like the sweet hoppy flavors.”

Olander, who also runs a malthouse and sells most of his crops to the local craft beverage industry is bullish about finding buyers for his future Kernza crop among his regular clientele, even though the grains are too small for his malting equipment.

“With the network of breweries that we work with and distilleries, there’s going to be a market,” he said.

Anderson-Tarver of the Denver Distillery would almost certainly make up part of the market for Olander’s Kernza. He was impressed enough with the preliminary samples from his pilot batch of Kernza whiskey from the USDA collaboration that he hoped someday to include Kernza in the regular distilling rotation.

“It’s just a fascinating grain just because it has some really cool properties,” he said. “The flavor, though, is really what’s going to keep us coming back.”

But he said he would wait until locally grown Kernza is more widely available, and the price of the grain comes down.

SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM

DON’T LET YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPERS GO SILENT.

This year, even more than ever before, the news is in crisis.

More than 17,000 news media jobs were cut just by June, at national and local outlets including at some of the biggest names like NPR, The Texas Tribune and Gannett. In fact, newsroom layoffs are up 20% from last year. Some of these outlets laid off more than 10% of their staff in the last few months — even as we head into a critical election year.

These are devastating numbers. But all is not lost.

Many local and independent newsrooms continue to launch across the country. With your contributions and subscriber memberships, small newsrooms like ours continue to grow, adding new journalists and expanding reporting and investigations.

We’re committed to bringing the news to Coloradans. That’s because you deserve access to local, independent journalism that keeps you connected and informed — especially during challenging times. This is #newsCOneeds.
