Google Fiber will be coming to Westminster, adding an internet service provider option for residents. City Council heard a presentation on Feb. 6 on the service.

“ is will be a network of a ber internet service that would serve the vast majority of residences and small businesses in Westminster,” said Chris Lindsey, assistant city

Westminster will be the 20th metro area with the service, as there are 19 di erent metro areas in the country with Google Fiber. Lakewood also signed a similar agreement.  Google Fiber uses public rightsof-way to connect people to the network, called ‘microtrenching.’ Construction of the network is set to begin late this year. Louis Lipner, head of strategic partnerships at Google Fiber, said the company will bring a physical line to the side of homes, and if the resident signs up, they will connect that line to the en, residents can use their own wi equipment, or Google will

Harassment, noise, lead and slow progress top of residents’ concerns at RMMA

LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was a packed house at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport’s noise roundtable meeting on Feb. 13, with leaded fuel, noise and lack of action at the top of the public’s concerns.

Now, add harassment to those concerns. In fact, a man was sent a picture of a gun.

“A member in our community spoke out on Facebook about the airport and was texted an anonymous video of a gun,” said Laurie Chin Sayres during the meeting’s public comment. “Please take this seriously, this is real, this is someone’s life.”

Chin Sayres also explained she appeared on a TV news segment and woke up to hate mail the next day.

Boulder County Commissioner Ashley Stolzmann, who was voted the vice chair of the CNR at the meeting, suggested the group put out a joint letter saying harassment against anyone isn’t okay and that it would be turned over to the sheri ’s o ce.

Broom eld City Council Member Deven Sha and Je erson County Commissioner Tracy Kraft- arp agreed.

Frustrated by lack of progress

Many residents voiced their frustration with a lack of progress from the CNR on tackling the issues.

“What is actually being accomplished here at this Community Noise Roundtable? From what I see,

the public makes a comment and it moves onto the agenda and we need people to actually collect real data,” said Superior resident Noelle Roni.  Roni said nine residents privately tested their houses for lead and 18 samples came back positive. She said one of the windows of her child’s room tested positive.  ose residents are calling for a comprehensive lead study of their community. Previously, a group of doctors sent Je erson County Commissioners a letter and petition asking for action on leaded fuels.

According to Gabi Johnson, a spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, they are conducting their own investigation into whether

there is a measurable relationship between proximity to an airport and increased blood lead levels.

“ is analysis will look at all blood lead tests reported to CDPHE from children ages 18 years and younger who lived within 5 miles of a regional airport (76 commercial and 4 military airports within Colorado) between 2011 and 2020. Along with the blood lead test data, we are examining wind data to identify whether the child lived downwind of the nearest airport during the 60 days prior to the test date,” she wrote in an email.

Johnson said the analysis is similar to a study done in 2021 of children living near an airport in Santa Clara County, California. She noted understanding all potential sources of lead exposure is important.

“Living near an airport is one of those potential sources. As with all potential sources of lead exposure, we encourage people who live near regional airports to ask their health care provider or community clinic about getting a blood lead test for their children,” she wrote.

Previously, Je erson County Public Health said if residents around the airport started testing for lead and levels were high, it would trigger a response from the county and state department.

“If the folks in that vicinity of the airport were to have their child’s blood lead levels tested, we could do follow up work through our communicable disease group. If there’s multiple people showing elevated blood lead levels, in that case, the State Health Department’s environmental epidemiology group would likely be involved,” Jim Rada, director of environmental health services at Je erson County Public Health, previously said.

Kristy Richardson, state toxicologist, previously said CDPHE has a surveillance system that alerts them if there are elevated blood lead levels in an area. If spatial patterns started to exist, CDPHE would work with local public health partners to understand the exposure and provide help.

FAA

Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration were also present at the meeting to answer questions from CNR members.

Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper and Representative Neguse urged the Federal Aviation Administration

to send a representative to the CNR meetings in a Jan. 13 letter.  Westminster City Councilor Bruce Baker was up rst.

“When do we talk about the lifespan of an airport in relation to the community?” he asked.

John Bauer, manager of the O ce of Airports for the Denver o ce, said Je erson County has accepted grant assurances and has certain contractual obligations. One of those is to maintain the airport as an operating airport.

“I heard somebody mention, ‘if we stop accepting FAA grants, therefore we can close the airport in 20 years’, that is not the case. In many airports, such as (RMMA,) they have purchased land using federal dollars, those grant assurances never expire, they run in perpetuity with the land,” he said.

He cited the former Stapleton airport and said it closed and was relocated because of capacity.

Stolzmann asked for the FAA to come to each meeting in the future. She also mentioned that coming to consensus on the CNR to make recommendations may be di cult.

Justin Biassou, community engagement o cer for the FAA, said all members of the CNR have to agree.

“What feels hard from where I sit, is that we haven’t been at the table to decide these routes in existence today,” she said. “...so now to change it, you’re saying we have to get 100% consensus but we’ve not agreed to this in the rst place.”

Superior Trustee Jason Serbu said while he knows the roundtable is for noise, lead is an issue for many people. He asked what the FAA’s plan is to work with the EPA to address the issue.

Leslie Lardie, a senior advisor for the FAA, pointed to their EAGLE initiative. at plan aims to eliminate the use of leaded aviation fuel by the end of 2030.

Future meetings

Members also voted to change the meeting days and time to the rst ursday of the month from 6-8 p.m.

As well, the CNR held an executive session regarding hiring a consultant.

Future agenda items include a noise study, a panel discussion with ight schools, pilots and air tra c control on noise mitigation strategies, aircraft landing fees, guest speakers and others.

Members of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport’s community noise and residents listen to Justin Biassou, community engagement o cer for the FAA.

Northglenn City Council receives update on Adams 12

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Student enrollment in Northglenn’s public schools is something that bears watching, Adams 12 Five Star Schools Superintendent Chris Gdowski told Northglenn City Councilors Feb. 13.

Gdowski gave Northglenn City council a state of the district update at their city council meeting on listing several concerns. Declining enrollment was near the top of the list.

“Across our country, people are having fewer babies,” he said.  e district has seen a decline of 3,000 students since 2018, largely due to declining birth rates.

Adams 12 also sees a growing number of nancially burdened students. In 2016, 43% quali ed free or reduced lunch. Now, that number is 50%. Northglenn Middle School has a higher number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch at 85%., he said.

Demographics have changed, too. In 2016, 49% of students were white and 41% were Hispanic. In 2021, 44%

were Hispanic and 43% were white. With race comes gaps in achievement and white students achieved, on average, about 20% higher than Hispanic students.

Students are continuing to perform better on standardized tests. In 2016 53% of the students who took AP classes received a score of 3,4,or 5 on AP exams. ose scores usually mean college credit.

In 2020, that pass rate bounced up to 69%.

Graduation rates are also on the rise. e district saw numbers go from 80.5% in 2021 to 82.8% in 2022.

Outside of academics, Gdowski said middle school sports came back after more than a decade. For next year, they will add soccer and volleyball.

Universal preschool will also start next year and he said Adams 12 will provide 12.5 hours for four year olds, 2,5 hours a day, ve days a week. ere’s also opportunities for students to have 30 hours if they have a disability, are an English as a second language learner and other requirements.

City Councilor Sarah Nurmela asked if the provided service is consistent throughout the city, given some networks are spotty. Lipner said service will be the same for everyone.

Nurmela also asked about cost.

Lipner said their agship product

Other areas of concern

Sta ng and compensation are the biggest areas of concern.

“Oftentimes you’ll drive around and see fast food restaurants paying up to $20 an hour, we still nd ourselves with vacancies,” he said.

Student behavior is also a challenge. Gdowski said they are working on nding the right solutions.

“What we nd is even after suspending that student, they rarely come back with changed behavior and values,” he said.

City Councilor Becky Brown said that students follow their parents’ examples and Gdowski said it’s saddening when a teacher may call home to a parent to notify them of their child’s misbehavior, and the parent blames the sta .  Brown also called for a program that addresses drug use within the schools and asked if Narcan is in Adams 12.

Gdowski said there is drug use and the district has applied for funds to create programs around drug addiction. He said Adams12 does have Narcan in their schools.

City Councilor Rich Kondo noted that many teachers have master’s

Gdowksi said more housing and a ordable housing is a strong interest for Adams 12. He said 15 acres of their property were sold to a housing developer, but it fell through due to water issues in ornton.

Mayor Meredith Leighty asked what Gdowski’s impression is around how students are feeling. He said suicide risk has signi cantly gone up over time and threat’s have gone up.

He said students and parents are feeling safer at schools and their perception of School Resource O cers are that they make schools safer.

Leighty asked if there are restorative justice practices in place for behavior. Gdowski said Adams 12 does, but it only goes so far since many of the behavior problems can’t be addressed with restorative justice.

rolled out in Westminster, they plan to lower the price and the service would be e ectively free with the subsidy.

City Councilor Bruce Baker asked when they lay the cables, if they have a plan to x the landscape after they’re nished. Lipner said their policy is to leave the landscape how they found it or better.

Bad news: Inflation continues in Denver metro area

At this time last year, prices were surging more than 9 percent in Denver.

Since November, prices for food broadly speaking are up 2 percent and used car prices are down about 4 percent.

Newly released data on spending in the U.S. shows that retail sales jumped in January, meaning people remain largely undeterred by how expensive things are. While that’s good news for the overall economy, it’s not great news when it comes to putting the brakes on in ation. e persistent price increases mean the Federal Reserve is likely to keep raising interest rates, making it more expensive to borrow money and slowing demand for large purchases that many people take out loans to buy. e central bank’s efforts have already slowed demand in the housing market.

A study from Earthjustice blames the Suncor re nery in Commerce City and re ghting foam for leaching cancer-causing ‘forever chemicals’ PFAs into the municipal water supply for several Adams County cities. And it’s legal.

A water source for ornton — the South Platte River — runs past that facility. According to City Spokesperson Todd Barnes, a portion of ornton’s water comes from the South Platte river, but they grab it before the Suncor facility.

“ ornton currently gets most of its South Platte surface water above

“ ornton is actively engaged in an investigation to determine the source(s) of our pollution and will identify and pursue those potentially responsible parties once that investigation is complete,” he said.  Earthjustice pointed to a study they funded. Conducted by Westwater Hydrology, they found connections between PFAS found in both Sand Creek and the South Platte River – which provides water used by Commerce City, Brighton, ornton and Aurora– to the Suncor re nery.

According to a news release from Earthjustice, “the study found that Suncor’s 2021 discharges from just one outfall, 020, account for 16-47% of the total PFAS loading in Sand

Prepare for power outages

“ ey have this large ume of contaminated groundwater that underlies the facility that is highly contaminated with PFAS from decades of using PFAS-containing foam,” said Caitlin Miller, senior associate attorney for Earthjustice.

She said that water leaks into the Sand Creek before it is treated by Suncor, which then makes its way down to the South Platte.

Miller said the study is credible because it’s based on Suncor’s own monitoring data and was independently done. e study was also peer-reviewed.

Loa Esquilin Garcia, a spokesperson for Suncor, disagrees.

“ e Westwater report is inaccurate, misleading, and should not be relied upon. It signi cantly overstates Suncor’s PFAS contributions to the South Platte River by ignoring upstream PFAS sources in Sand Creek that are not from the re nery, ignoring other Non-re nery PFAS contributions to the South Platte River, and selectively using data from only ve days that are not representative of current conditions to exaggerate the PFAS contributions from Suncor’s Outfall 020A,” she wrote in an email.

Forever chemicals ornton has a history of PFAS contaminating their drinking water.

e Environmental Protection Agency set a new health advisory on June 15 at 0.0004 parts per trillion for PFOA and 0.02 parts per trillion for

PFOS.

In May 2022, the ornton Water Treatment Plant measured 7.1 parts per trillion for PFOA and 3.5 parts per trillion for PFOS. e Wes Brown Water Treatment Plant saw 5.4 parts per trillion for PFOA and 2.0 parts per trillion for PFOS. ose levels are over 1,000 times higher than the health advisories. Barnes said meeting the new advisory will be costly with the need to update and upgrade water treatment facilities.

On Jan. 30, e City of ornton announced they led suit in federal court against multiple chemical manufacturers, alleging that their products contaminated portions of their water supply with PFAS. ey want them on the hook for clean-up costs.

“ e city of ornton alleges in the lawsuit that re ghting foam made with these companies’ chemical products have unlawfully contaminated a portion of the city’s surface and ground water supply to various degrees over recent Environmental Protection Agency’s Health Advisory levels,” a news release from the city reads.

ornton Deputy City Attorney Adam Stephens said in the news release that the companies knew, or should have known, the chemicals were harmful to the environment and public health.

Politics, lobbying and safety

In 2019, the state passed HB19-

The Suncor Energy oil refinery in Commerce City on July 18.

How politics, lobbying and safety concerns may be leaking PFAS into the municipal water supply

1279 which restricted the sale of certain re ghting foams. But the bill had exemptions, like airports and re neries.

“For use at a gasoline special fuel, or jet fuel storage and distribution facility that is supplied by a pipeline, vessel, or re nery;” the bill reads.

HB22-1345, passed in 2022, aimed to close that loophole by repealing that section and the initially submitted bill did so. However, as the bill process moved forward, the repeal was taken out of the signed version.

Roger Hudson, a spokesperson for Colorado House Republicans, said that Republican Rep. Mary Bradeld, a co-sponsor of the 2022 bill, declined to interview and required written questions and answers. Hudson said in a phone call that Brad eld may not remember the process of the 2022 bill.

In Brad eld’s responses, sent to Colorado Community Media by Colorado House Republican sta members, she noted that her original bill, Suncor, was not exempt from regulations.

She didn’t see any loophole in the 2019 bill.

“In 2019, the focus was to eliminate as much PFAS as possible in re ghting foam and to take legislative steps to ensure this dangerous chemical would not leach into groundwater. As far as I’m aware, there was no intentional loophole,” Brad eld is attributed to writing.

Democrat Sen. Lisa Cutter, a co-

sponsor of the 2022 bill, said she knew the original bill would need to be cut and amended.

“I wasn’t 100% thrilled with all the changes we made last year, but we passed a bill that was really signi cant and really meaningful, and that’s part of the process, negotiating along the way,” she said.

One of those negotiations came from re departments, she said.

Cutter explained a concern with catastrophic res at places like Suncor played a role in keeping the exemption. She also noted federal lawmakers will soon address re ghting foam through their PFAS legislation, and alternatives may be on the horizon.

“We know that there’s alternatives coming out, and the PFAS will need to go away,” Cutter said.

Deputy Chief of Operations for North Metro Fire Je Bybee said their re district replaced all PFAS foams on their trucks in 2018. However, they do carry PFAS-containing foams at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport due to an FAA regulation and their ability to put out certain types of res.  It comes down to safety.

“ e FAA has required a PFAS containing foams at airports because that type of foam has exceptional lm formation properties,” he said. ose res are similar to those at re neries.

It’s a balance of safety because experts have warned that PFAS can lead to numerous health risks. Bybee said that’s why they eliminated all the PFAS they were able to, and are waiting for an alternative to replace the remaining ones.

The debate on health e ects

An opposing force to the 2022 bill was the American Chemistry Council, and they sent lobbyists to the Capital, according to records from the Secretary of State.  Cutter said the ACC “lobbied hard.”

In Brad eld’s attributed statement, she said the ACC identi ed products that contained intentionally added PFAS.

“ is helped us identify which products retailers would need to remove from their shelves and also helped in letting manufacturers know they couldn’t market products that intentionally added PFAS in Colorado,” the statement reads.

Cutter noted that the ACC wanted to change the de nition of PFAS, but she wasn’t in favor.

“We did not want to mess with that because it’s not proven that any kind of PFAS is safe,” she said.

In an email, the American Chemistry Council said that not all PFAS should be categorized in the same way.

“PFAS are a diverse universe of chemistries with di ering health and environmental pro les. ese di erences have been recognized by various regulatory and scienti c bodies, including the EPA. All PFAS are not the same, and they should not all be regulated the same way,” the email reads.

e Council also said that health risks are di erent among PFAS.

“Most experts also agreed that it is inappropriate to assume equal toxicity/potency across the diverse class of PFAS. e US EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap and National PFAS Testing Strategy also recognize distinctions within the broad class of PFAS,” the

email reads.

Dr. Ned Calonge, Associate Dean for Public Health Practice at the Colorado School of Public Health co-authored the report Guidance on PFAS Exposure, Testing, and Clinical Follow-Up.

“If people are trying to say ‘these PFAS don’t have any human health e ects,’ it’s likely because we haven’t studied them,” he said.

His report looked at seven di erent types of PFAS and said the health risks do vary. ey don’t have a molecular connection on how PFAS might cause human disease, but they have extensive evidence on the association between PFAS levels and human disease.

Given that, there still is uncertainty with PFAS due to the di culty to study them. Calonge said there’s enough uncertainty that people should try to reduce their exposure to the chemicals.

He said there’s su cient evidence of an association between PFAS and a decreased antibody response, increased cholesterol, decrease in infant and fetal growth and increased risk of kidney cancer.

“For me as a public health person, trying to come down to what I think might be the most protective of public health would be to treat them as a class and recognize that there may be some PFAS whose health risks are less or even negligible, but we just don’t know,” he said.

Cutter emphasized human health is more important than pro ts.

“Industry is important, what companies do to make our lives better every day is really important. But do we protect corporate pro t and corporate interests above health and human safety?” said Cutter.

Rethinking the four-day school week

BY YESENIA ROBLES SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Homeowners in the 27J school district might have been better o paying a higher property tax rather than allowing the district to adopt a four-day school week, a new study suggests.

Preliminary results of the study, which has not yet been peer reviewed, suggest that home prices su ered and student achievement in the district may have dropped. Teacher retention, which the district cited as the main reason for moving to the four-day school week, may also have decreased, according to the study.

e 27J school district, which serves more than 22,600 students this year, is based north of Denver, covering Brighton and parts of Commerce City and ornton. Leaders rolled out the four-day school week in the fall of 2018, after having failed a sixth time to pass a local tax increase to pay teachers more.

District Superintendent Chris Fiedler disputes the ndings, citing higherthan-ever graduation rates and lower overall teacher turnover.

e authors of the study acknowledge there were limitations in the way they examined student achievement and teacher retention pieces. ey didn’t want to look at years a ected by COVID, so they only examined student achievement data through the 201920 school year. For teacher retention data they examined data through the 2020-21 school year. So it’s possible the ndings were short-term impacts, said Frank James Perrone, one of the study’s authors.

When it comes to student achievement, research would ideally track individual students, said Perrone, assistant professor of educational leadership at Indiana University. Since the researchers couldn’t access that level of data, it’s unknown if some of the ndings could have been a result of higher-performing students leaving the district.

e research is more comprehensive and based on more data when it comes to the housing ndings. While housing prices in 27J haven’t dropped, home values stopped growing at the same rate relative to its most comparable neighboring district. erefore, homeowners lost out on growth that they likely would have seen without the change, according to the study.

e researchers calculated those losses compared to the cost of paying for the mill levy override and found that, nancially, conservative estimates suggest homeowners would have been better o approving the tax measure.

“ ese results suggest the decision to adopt a 4-day school week in a metropolitan setting should not be taken lightly,” the study states.

Voters should be aware of possible tradeo s when voting against local tax measures that can drive a district to switch to a four-day school week, Perrone said.

Teacher retention was goal of shorter school week

In years past, 27J has made other drastic changes as a result of the failure to pass local tax measures to increase its revenue. For instance, when the

district faced overcrowding and was unable to build new schools, it had to move the high schools to a split schedule from 2015 to 2018. Some students were on campus in the mornings and some attended school later in the day to reduce the amount of people in the school buildings at one time.

is past November, in the eighth attempt to pass a mill levy override, 27J nally succeeded. e measure will allow the district to raise teacher salaries starting this fall. at, together with more funding from the governor’s proposed budget, could get starting pay to $50,000, Fiedler said, but that’s still lower than in many metro area districts.

Fiedler believes that the four-day school week, while an e ective incentive for some teachers, is not as e ective when the pay gap with other districts grows too wide. He said he hopes next year’s raises will make his district attractive again.

“It is a total tradeo ,” Fiedler said. “ at gap eventually becomes so large that it’s not worth the tradeo .”

Kathey Ruybal, president of the teachers union in the district, said teachers and sta overwhelmingly support the four-day school week. Some sta members opposed to the change left in the rst year, but sta who leave now leave because of low pay, she said

According to state data, turnover rates for teachers in 27J have dropped to 14.6% — a lower rate than many neighboring districts. And when compared to the nearly 17% rate in 2017, it’s a drop of 14%. But other nearby districts had steeper drops in turnover rates in the same time period.

For the study, the researchers went deeper, using sta -level data from the state to look at years of experience, salary, and whether teachers had advanced degrees. Teachers with between 5 and 15 years of experience were 5% less likely to return to the district after the four-day switch.

“We can only see experience level, but we don’t have e ectiveness ratings,” Perrone said. “It’s possible they kept the best teachers.”

Perrone, who worked on the study with Adam D. Nowak of West Virginia University and Patrick S. Smith of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, said he hopes other researchers will take another look in the future at how the four-day switch changes the workforce in the long term. How districts use the fth o day for professional development or whether that gives teachers more planning time might change the culture of the workplace or encourage more e ectiveness, he said.

nities. Recently, more large, urban districts have made the switch, including the 14,000-student Independence School District neighboring Kansas City, Missouri. But research that isn’t focused on rural districts is limited — making this study signi cant as researchers look to better understand the impacts.

Paul ompson, an associate professor of economics at Oregon State University who reviewed the study, said the academic ndings echo what research has found elsewhere: Academic achievement generally declines when schools switch to a four-day week. e nding, he says, seems related to how much time is actually lost. In districts that make up most of the instructional time, the decline is smaller or not there.

In 27J, Superintendent Fiedler said, the district continued to meet the state’s instructional time requirements by lengthening the school day and eliminating early release or other time o for planning.

Research on four-day school weeks has started looking at impacts beyond test scores, ompson said.

“Most educational interventions are happening within the schools,” ompson said. “But there’s many more outcomes that can be a ected by this choice.”

Previous research, for example, found an increase in juvenile delinquency in Colorado communities with four-day school weeks, perhaps because teenagers spent more time unsupervised. Looking at the impact on housing makes sense, ompson said.

Oded Gurantz, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, said other research nds that educational policies can have a quick and observable impact on the local housing market.

In the case of 27J’s four-day school week, families may have to consider the cost of childcare on the fth day.

Local realtors, including Alan Strange, said they haven’t noticed potential home buyers talking about the fourday week recently, but did notice it when the district rolled out a split schedule for the high school.

With more families working from home since the start of COVID, Strange said, the impact may have since dissipated.

In 27J, teachers have training on one free Monday each month. A second Monday each month is used for principal training and district meetings. at means principals and school leaders rarely have to leave schools for meetings when students are in class, Fiedler said.

Ruybal said she doesn’t think the four-day school week has had much impact on culture or planning time. However, additional planning time during the four-day school week that her union won in negotiations is helpful, she said.

Findings match other research on four-day school weeks

Traditionally, most four-day school districts have served rural commu-

Fiedler said that when the district rst moved to four-day weeks, about 1,000 families signed up for the district’s childcare option for about $30 per day. Now, only about 300 families use the childcare option. In 2020, after the start of COVID, some government agencies including the Adams County government o ces, moved to a matching four-day work schedule.

Fiedler agrees that moving to a fourday school week is not a decision to be made lightly.

It was the necessary and right thing to do for his district, he said to Chalkbeat. “We had to do something,” Fiedler said.

But when other school district leaders ask whether he would still make the switch if he had the money to just pay teachers more, his answer is no.

Centura Health announces its breakup with others

AdventHealth, CommonSpirit to go alone

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

On Valentine’s Day, one of the largest hospital systems in Colorado announced that it is getting a divorce.

For more than a quartercentury, Centura Health has operated as a partnership between CommonSpirit Health and AdventHealth.

Centura announced that CommonSpirit Health, which is Catholic-a liated, and AdventHealth, which is a liated with the Seventhday Adventist Church, will split, with each planning to manage their respective hospitals separately.

“CommonSpirit Health and AdventHealth have collaboratively agreed that they can best serve their communities and health care ministries without a partnership,” a news release announced.

Centura will continue to manage all 20 hospitals until the dissolution is nalized. e news release stated that there will not be any disruption to patient care, and the two divorcing systems said

they are committed to their employees and patients during the transition.

“CommonSpirit Health and AdventHealth maintain a strong relationship and are united in their commitment to the caregivers and ensuring the communities they serve have access to the best health care during and well beyond this transition,” the news release stated.

e release provided few details about the split, and contained no statements by executives explaining the decision. It did not provide a timeframe for how long it will take to unwind the partnership. A Centura spokeswoman would not even con rm if this announcement means that the Centura Health name will disappear.

“We will only be issuing the release at this time,” she

wrote in a text message. Combined, Centura manages 20 hospitals in Colorado and Kansas, and it ranks as the second-largest hospital system in Colorado in terms of revenue. In 2020, Centura Health hospitals statewide brought in more than $3 billion in net patient revenue, according to a report by independent health care consultant Allan Baumgarten. at ranked it behind only UCHealth in terms of statewide net patient revenue.

In the Centura Health marriage, CommonSpirit was the heavyweight, owning 15 of the 20 hospitals. Once the partnership is dissolved, CommonSpirit will independently manage: Longmont United Hospital; OrthoColorado Hospital in Lakewood; Mercy Hospital in Durango; Penrose Hospital and St.

Francis Hospital, both in Colorado Springs; St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood; St. Anthony North Hospital in Westminster; St. Anthony Summit Hospital in Frisco; St. Elizabeth Hospital in Fort Morgan; St. Mary-Corwin Hospital in Pueblo; and St. omas More Hospital in Cañon City. e chain will also manage three hospitals in Kansas — Bob Wilson Memorial Hospital in Ulysses; St. Catherine Hospital in Dodge City; and St. Catherine Hospital in Garden City — as well as a new hospital opening this summer in Colorado Springs.

AdventHealth owned the other ve hospitals currently part of Centura: Avista Adventist Hospital in Louisville; Castle Rock Adventist Hospital; Littleton Adventist Hospital; Parker Adventist Hospital; and Porter Adventist Hospital in Denver.

Baumgarten, the health care consultant, said the news reminded him of a similar breakup that happened in Illinois in 2021, when AdventHealth and the Catholic-a liated Ascension broke up a partnership they had formed named Amita. In that divorce, Baumgarten said it was likely that the two sides disagreed about how to grow the joint company.

Centura has been around longer, though, Baumgarten said, and it was not immediately clear to him what might be driving the split. He mentioned possible tensions over Catholic health directives, especially in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. e Catholic hospitals in the Centura system do not perform abortions and will perform sterilization procedures only rarely — something that Centura had recently re-emphasized at Mercy Hospital in Durango.

“It’s also not unusual to have disputes about money,” he added.

e news release contained no mention of what will happen with people employed directly by Centura Health, as opposed to an individual hospital. at includes CEO Peter Banko, who has led Centura since 2007.

that’s 53 days, or about four weeks longer than 22 days in January 2022. at’s getting back to the time just before the pandemic, or 48 days in January 2020.

Home prices in Denver and Colorado increased at unprecedented rates in the past two years. Metro Denver’s median sales price hit a high of $660,000 in April, up 17.4% in a year. at dropped to $569,804, as of January, which is 1.4% lower than a year-ago January. As Littleton economist Patty Silverstein told the real estate industry at an economic summit last week, “We’re (in) some type of slowdown but that’s very welcome. We’re in a rest period here.” e slowdown began last spring as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to cool in ation. But mortgage rates have more than doubled in a year, making it much more expensive for home buyers who need a loan. Based on the Denver metro area’s median sales price, a buyer’s monthly payment is roughly $1,000 more than it would have been last January, according to Bankrate’s mortgage calculator.

“ e major thing we have seen is a dramatic slowdown in activity,” said Ann Hayes, a Realtor with Keller Williams Colorado West Realty in Grand Junction. “A lot of people, with the change in the interest rates, were priced out of the market.”

Mesa County saw a 3.4% dip in its median-sales price, falling to $379,950 in January. at makes it a little more a ordable for rst-time buyers. But even though mortgage rates are below their peak, they are still above 6.5%. And that’s keeping homeowners in their homes, too. “Sellers don’t like the fact that they’re at a 3% (mortgage loan) rate and if they buy a replacement, they’re going to be at six, or six and three-quarter rate,” Hayes said. “A lot of sellers are not even coming on the market.”

Some perspective

But the past two years have just been unprecedented, said Hayes, who’s sold houses in the area since 1994. Fifteen years ago, mortgage rates were in the 6% to 7% range, and

back in the 1980s, they were double digits, with 30-year xed rate loans averaging 18.63% in 1981, according to Freddie Mac historical data.

Still, Mesa County is a relatively hot market. e number of houses for sale in the area in and around Grand Junction has doubled in the past year to 456, compared with inventory of 1,816 homes in 2016, according to CAR. Over time, she said, buyers adjust to higher rates and higher prices if that’s where the market goes.

“People will have more babies (and) that will encourage people to think about doing other things,” Hayes said. “Life will start happening where it’s, ‘Well, I don’t like the interest rate, but, you know, a twobedroom house with four kids isn’t going to work anymore.’”

Ask anyone in the real estate industry and they’ll tell you buying a house is a long-term investment. Values go up overtime even after slumps during downturns.

“At no time in recorded history have prices, generally speaking, decreased,” said Leprino, pointing to the price dips of 2008, the early 1990s and other recessions. For the most part, the price of a house today is much higher than it’s ever been. Higher prices, multiple o ers still exist

But every market is di erent. Places like Pagosa Springs are dealing with a scarcity of houses below their median sales price, which increased a whopping 33% to $520,000 in January. Local Realtor Wen Saunders said the lower-priced homes below the $400,000 range “were gobbled up with low interest rates and cash buyers,” and many who were buying a second home.

“ e bread and butter for Pagosa was always somewhere in the $300,000s. at was a beautiful thing. In 2021, we sold 105 and in 2022, we sold 56. Why? Because we didn’t have any more,” said Saunders, who’s been a Realtor in Pagosa for 14 years.

Meanwhile, the million-dollar homes went the other direction. Back in 2017, she said Pagosa had a ve-year inventory of million-dollar homes and only about ve sold in a year.

“In 2021, we sold 48 homes that were in the million-dollar price point. And then there were another 11 that were in the $2 million range,” she said. “ e number of sales will drop, but I just don’t see the prices dropping.”

In Fort Collins, the median sales price in January was also higher than a year ago. ere are still multiple o ers going on, said Chris Hardy at Elevations Real Estate in Old Town Fort Collins. For one of his fellow agents, 8 out of 10 sales in January involved multiple o ers.

“It wasn’t like it was back in April or May when there were 15, 20 and 30 o ers on any home that came on the market. But there were at least two or more o ers on these homes,” Hardy said.

e data from the Northern Colorado multiple listing service recorded the city’s median price in January at $549,999, up about $11,000 from a year ago. In Larimer County, median sale prices increased 6.4% to $570,000, according to CAR data. Inventory has nearly doubled in a year, but it’s only taking two weeks longer to get a house sold in the county.

But Hardy added a caveat to the higher prices. Houses aren’t necessarily getting their full list price, especially those on the market since November. ose have likely reduced their price. And competition among buyers doesn’t mean houses are selling above the asking price.

“Last summer, you couldn’t buy anything inside the city limits of Fort Collins for under $500,000,” Hardy said. “ ere wasn’t anything and now that’s changed a little bit and so there are some homes in the midfours that get snapped up relatively quickly. In those highly desirable price points, there’s still quite a bit of activity.”

A busier spring?

Since the fourth quarter, the number of people hoping to get pre-quali ed for a mortgage has increased 50%-60%, said Shawn Ostho , president of Bank of Colorado, which has branches all over the state and is headquartered in Fort Collins. ere are seasonal reasons for the uptick in this quarter and the overall number of loans is still lower than a year ago.

“I think many people have come to the realization that we’re at kind of a new normal for mortgage rates and therefore they’re choosing to proceed with a home,” Ostho said. “We’ll see how strong the demand is this spring, but historically springtime has been a time when people are out looking for a new home and upgrading their house. We expect more activity this spring than we’ve seen in the last six months.”

Prospective buyers are not just gearing up to hunt for a house again; more seem to be opting for a di erent type of mortgage, an adjustablerate mortgage. ARMs at Bank of Colorado o er a lower interest rate of 5.875% in the rst ve years. Borrowers can re nance anytime if rates drop. Comparably, the bank’s 30year rate is 6.375%, which includes 1% in mortgage points to reduce the interest over the life of the loan.

“Just trying to save a little bit of interest with the hope that rates might come back down, that’s the thinking here,” he said. “It gives them a chance to buy a home they can a ord.”

e Fed-regulated interest rates are expected to decline since in ation is slowing. On Tuesday, the Consumer Price Index for January showed that it cost U.S. households 6.4% more to live, compared to a year ago. at was a smidge lower 6.5% in December and down from 9% in summer. e Fed has already backed o the higher rate increases, dropping to a quarter point hike on Feb. 1 from the several months of three-quarter point increases. is, of course, means in ation and interest rates are still rising. But Silverstein, president of Development Research Partners in Littleton, believes consumers are already getting used to it.

“Consumers will start to adapt, will start to expect those slightly higher interest rates given that we still have people moving into this state,” Silverstein said. “We still have a lot of folks that have put o housing purchases (and saying) ‘OK, a 5% to 6% mortgage rate is not outrageous. We just need to take it into consideration as we’re planning for future purchases.’ Consumers are still out there.”

Westminster hit with back-to-back land sales lawsuits

It’s not every day that a municipality gets hit with two lawsuits within a span of a month involving the sale of land. Is it coincidence or just what?

CROSS CURRENTS

Two di erent developers are involved with separate parcels of land with one located in the New Downtown and the other at the edge of e Promenade at the northeast corner of 104th Avenue and Westminster Boulevard. e city was to sell land it owned to each developer.

e New Downtown site involves a large o ce developer, Schnitzer West, which planned to build two seven story o ce towers. Later the plans evolved into a single eight story Class A o ce building. At one time, Schnitzer was pursuing 650,000 square feet of o ce development on the two lots which they wanted to purchase from the city.

e other site involved developer Rozzi Capital which was planning to purchase 7.6 acres at the northeast corner of 104th Avenue and Westmin-

ster Boulevard. e proposed development was for a hotel and retail next to the Westin Hotel. In both cases, the developers are suing the City of Westminster for supposedly backing out of selling the respective parcels.

What’s going on?

I have always found it somewhat awkward for a city to be selling land to a developer and at the same time having nal review and say on the details of the proposed development. As you are probably aware, Westminster bought the former Westminster Mall property, tore down the mall buildings and constructed most of the public improvements, such as the water lines, sewer lines, storm sewer lines and streets.

e city council approved the land uses for all the parcels which provided a fair degree of exibility. e city put itself in the role of a land developer selling nished lots to a variety of development companies.

I am not privy to the behind the scenes negotiating between city staff and each developer. I do know that the Schnitzer deal had been in the mill for approximately three years, which

Soaring utility bills provoke questions about our energy future

Colorado has had a chilly winter compared to recent decades, but the larger question triggered by the rising utility bills is how the state’s 5.8 million residents will stay warm in coming decades. I see this story as being mostly about the future of natural gas.

Utility bills from November and December that in many cases were double those of the previous year have outraged many Coloradans.

Much of the heat was vented at Xcel Energy, the state’s largest utility with 1.4 million gas customers and 1.5 million electric customers. Black Hills Energy has 192,000 customers and Atmos has 120,000 customers. Other residents are served by municipal utilities or, particularly in rural areas, burn propane.

Natural gas explained 80% of the increase on an average utility bill, according to research by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission sta . Gas prices surged, caused largely by supply disruptions caused by Russia’s war against Ukraine. Prices have now moderated, but were responsible for 34% of bill increases.

Uncommon cold explained another 30%, according to the PUC sta research. For example, temperatures at Denver’s Central Park averaged 8 degrees colder than the year prior — which, by the way, was the second warmest since recordkeeping began in the 1930s. e station was then called Stapleton Airport.

Russ Schumacher, the Colorado climatologist, says heating degrees days, a measure

of the energy needed to heat buildings, rose 30% at Central Park. Xcel said its customers in Colorado used 35.5% more gas in November and 31% more in December than in the same months in 2021. It was the coldest winter in Denver in more than 20 years.

Some customers also started paying for Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, the week-long deep freeze, whose utilities had insu ciently hedged their contracts. ey paid through the nose, and those costs are now being passed along to consumers.

is nancial pain was evident this week at the statehouse when Gov. Jared Polis introduced several consumers. One woman said her family had commonly gone to the mountains on Saturdays, but could not now because her husband was working Saturdays to pay for the higher utility bills. Others talked of lowering thermostats but were still being shocked by their bills.

For Xcel, the high bills were being paid just as company o cials informed shareholders that Colorado had delivered pro ts of 8.23% in 2022. at’s not exorbitant. Utilities commonly do as well or better. In the compact with states, they get monopolies, score high on reliability — and never take a loss. But this had produced calls for Xcel and other utilities to get more “skin in the game.”

Adding outrage was news that the PUC had allowed Xcel to pass along $2 million it had paid to lawyers and expert witnesses in supporting its argument for raised consumer rates. is equals the entire annual budget for the O ce of Utility Consumer Advocate, a state agency of seven people charged with representing consumers in

is unusual. However, COVID hit land development quite hard. As I recently wrote, one of the reasons new office developments are somewhat “iffy” is based on the desires of many employees wanting to continue working at home.

Westminster’s Community Development Department has a reputation in the metro area of being tough on developers. Certainly, some toughness is needed. I don’t know what the deal breaker was on either of the two land sales, but we will nd out in court. Aside from the facts, the situation that two somewhat similar lawsuits landed in the news within approximately 30 days does raise eyebrows.

Parking enforcement is big business

With the City of Westminster getting in the business of providing vehicle parking at two parking structures a few years ago, it begged the question who would enforce the parking regulations.

First, the city hired a private rm to handle enforcement. LAZ handled enforcement at an annualized cost of $536,924.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Cheaper water plant not a good deal

Some members of Westminster City Council seem thoroughly pleased with themselves for having apparently knocked $100 million o the estimated cost of the replacement city water treatment plant (Westminster Window, Feb. 16). ey are not quite so forthcoming about what is lost in the process. e original Water 2025 plan called for a plant capacity of 60 million gallons/day (MGD), intended to accommodate the full anticipated build-out of the city. e majority of Council rejected this approach and directed sta to ‘rightsize’ the proposed facility to 44 MGD, ensuring that the new facility would serve only the existing, not the probable future, needs of the city.

Other ways in which costs were removed from the plan are the removal of both ozonation capability (needed to address wild re damage to the water supply) and granular activated carbon (to treat for emerging contaminants such as PFAs). Apparently we should not plan for future growth, and should also wait for a wild re or contaminant to damage our water supply before thinking of adding those capabilities.

What is not at all surprising is the number of Westminster city councilors who gained their seats in the 2021 election largely by promising residents that they would slash water/sewer rates. And indeed they did, to a level that (a) sent the message that in this time of incipient or actual drought they could continue to use more than 46,000 gallons of water to tend their inappropriately thirsty properties and (b) allowed the irresponsible reduction in the capabilities of the much-needed water treatment plant.

Watch this space, as they say, to see how soon we can point to reasons to ask `What were they thinking?’ Of course, when the time comes that city buildout has overcome the capacity of the new ‘rightsized’ plant, requiring millions more in building costs, or misplaced frugality has given us no protection against wild res or contaminants, who will remember that—e ectively—this is what they voted for?

Deadline Wed. for the following week’s paper.

en, in early 2022, the city chose to take this function “in-house” using city employees. Now, with the 2023 City Budget adopted, we can see what the cost is for Community Development to administer parking enforcement and maintenance at the two parking structures as well as taking over the responsibility to do on-street parking enforcement. Previously, the Police Department had provided on-street enforcement. A part of that time, Code Enforcement Division was a part of the Police Department and performed on-street parking enforcement.

Let me set the stage for the increased budget of this city function. e 2020 budget was $608,012. In 2021, it was $685,550 while 2022 came in at $629,383. For 2023 with ve city employees carrying out the various functions, the budget jumped to $839,180. It should be pointed out that the on-street parking enforcement was in the Police Department budget prior to 2023 so the 2023 Community Development budget is skewed to some degree. e reason I share this information is to “prime the pump” for some fundamental questions.

Does Westminster need an o -street parking enforcement program?

In conjunction with both the Downtown Westminster plan and the train station plan, parking management was a part of the total operational plan.

I would concur with that thinking, but what about the timing of implementing it? According to city sta , the Downtown Westminster parking garage averages 350-450 “parking sessions” per day. e city did not track such “sessions” during the time of COVID. Also, with the apartment complexes, the city states there are approximately 200 parking permit holders (residents and employees) for the Downtown garage.

In the case of the train station parking, sta noted that pre-COVID numbers were 250-300 vehicles per day. ey do not have reliable gures during COVID or since then, but the number has not returned to pre-COVID amounts. Also, the previous city council authorized on-street paid parking which was implemented at both the New Downtown and the RTD train station.

is whole endeavor raises questions in my mind. Was it necessary to go to paid parking when the city sta previously pushed the concept? Was parking enforcement pre-

mature for both key development areas? Does it discourage retail and business development? Today, is an $839,000 expense the best use of these city funds? How do the businesses at the New Downtown feel about the paid parking requirement?

For the boutique hotel, I can see the need in the parking lot adjacent to the hotel given the need for overnight parking of guests. City sta indicated that they thought getting an “early jump” on implementing the paid parking was a smart idea.

Does the paid parking cover the operating costs?

A fundamental question for the “bean counters” and policy-setters is whether or not the revenues derived from the paid parking covers the operating expenses? e answer is simple. According to sta , an estimated $100,000-$115,000 in annual revenue is expected versus the $839,000 expense. is means taxpayers are subsidizing the parking enforcement program by over $700,000 each year. While I would not expect the revenues to begin to cover the costs, I would expect the gap to be smaller from a scal prudency standpoint.

REPRESENTATIVE GREENE IS A DISGRACE

What ever happened to decorum in the U.S. House of Representatives? We saw poor conduct when Donald Trump was president and we have seen it two years in a row with President Joe Biden. Seldom does the President of the United States speak before Congress. When he does come to give the State of the Union address, I would hope and think that professional decorum would prevail regardless of political di erences.

Last year, Representatives Lauren Bobert and Marjorie Taylor Greene showed their lack of professional courtesy yelling out. is time Greene yelled out that President Biden was a liar. I nd such conduct unacceptable and demeaning. Representative Greene is a disgrace to America! ank Heavens she is not my U.S. Representative. American political behavior has sunk to a new low.

Speed dating events in metro Denver o er alternatives to swiping

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a ursday night in late January, dozens of people walked past displays of tarot cards and crystals towards a dim room at the back of Full Moon Books in Lakewood. A man at the room’s entrance asked them each to remove their shoes. e smell of burnt sage lled the air.

For a while, people mingled. e event was not to start until 7 p.m., and stragglers arrived until moments before the doors closed. When it was time, a woman wearing a pink velvet robe asked everyone to sit in a circle.

“For all the new people, this is where we’re all going to get naked,” the woman joked. Everyone laughed, and she continued, “ ere will be none of that. is is just a really fun, safe event.”

Danny Neifert, a facilitator of an event called Tantra Speed Date, was playing with the stereotypical understanding of the word “tantra.” For many people, the term brings sex to mind. Although tantra is a spiritual practice that includes sexuality, Neifert said it has more to do with connection.

“Tonight, for the sake of simplicity, we’re just going to swap out the word ‘tantra’ with ‘connection,’” she said to the group. “It’s about connecting to yourself, connecting to the person that’s standing in front of you, connecting to the room, connecting to the building, the soil, the snow, the stars — you ll in the blank in a way that makes sense to you.”

For the next several hours, the attendees took turns rotating from person to person, doing mindful activities with a new partner at each station. At one, a partner mirrored the others’ physical actions. Next, strangers gave each other back massages. Some stations involved speaking — about gratitude, letting go or joy — and at others, people danced.

is event is one of several forms of speed dating in the metro Denver area, where singles are stepping out of their comfort zones to nd hope,

chemistry — and maybe even love — beyond the screens and swiping of modern dating.

Paying attention

Guy Shahar is a founder of e Tantra Institute, a New York-based company that aims to help people become “better lovers” through sacred sexuality. e company teaches courses about sexuality, tantra and relationship skills, in addition to hosting events like Tantra Speed Date.

Since 2017, Tantra Speed Date has hosted over 550 events in 40 cities for attendees of all ages.

“Most of the stations are really just about (giving) people instructions that show them how to put their attention on each other,” Shahar said about the speed dating event.

In his eyes, lack of attention is the number one challenge people face in modern dating, partly because of technology and partly because of the number of potential partners.

“A hundred years ago, who could you date? e people from your neighborhood, the people around you,” he said. “Now you can date anybody in the world… You open up any of those dating apps and you could be swiping on a di erent person in less than a second.”

His speed dating event, he said, is designed to put people in situations where they must focus on each other.

“Like a mirroring exercise, right?” he said. “I’m watching you, and I’m responding to what you’re doing… My attention is on you… Getting people to bring their attentions to each other is a really beautiful way to fool them into connection and intimacy.”

Once people surrender to paying full attention, Shahar said it’s easier to tell if there is chemistry between them.

After the initial connection, Shahar said other things become important as a relationship continues.

“ at connection isn’t necessarily compatibility,” he said. “You might have an amazing connection, or let’s say amazing chemistry… but their habits might be totally not compatible with yours. If you want a sustaining relationship, then you need to nd some points of compatibility or you need to be able to work with habits.”

at being said, Shahar thinks having the opportunity to initially sense a

connection is a powerful way to see if there’s any potential with a person.

“(To) just start your relationship o with that kind of intimacy and connection just seems like a really great, really beautiful way to get yourself o on the right foot,” he said.

Is a few minutes enough?

For speed dating skeptics, it may seem improbable that a person could have any sense of real connection after an encounter that lasts only a matter of minutes.

Dr. Randi Smith, a practicing psychologist and psychology professor at Metro State University Denver, said a few minutes might not be enough to tell a lot about a potential partner –but it can show some things.

“ ere’s some really recent research that suggests that we’re able to pick up on somebody’s relationship anxiety, their attachment anxiety, in a very brief interaction,” she said. “So can we predict whether this relationship will have legs, whether it will have a future? Probably not, but we might be able to weed out some people whose anxiety might prevent them from

having a good relationship with us.”

In addition, Smith said quick interactions can give people a sense of physical attraction and even immediate emotional attraction based on how it feels to talk to a potential partner.

On a deeper psychological level, she said people at speed dating events are probably thinking about reciprocity of liking. is idea is that people tend to like those who like them.

“Speed dating is very strategic, right?” she said. “You have little time, you’ve got to gure out how to make these choices, and so our brains are going into high strategic, albeit

unconscious, responses. And it doesn’t make a lot of sense for a person to invest energy and interest into somebody who’s not going to reciprocate that energy and interest.”

Alex Zaborenko, who attended the January Tantra Speed Date event, said reciprocity is important to him in terms of relationship goals as well, not only attraction. As someone who is looking for non-monogamous relationships, he said online dating pro les and open communication help him nd people who have the same goals in mind.

“I don’t want or need just one magic person to connect with me on every level that I might connect with a partner,” he said. “Once I reached the conclusion, then it just felt much better that I can communicate what I’m looking for honestly and they can choose what they want to do with that information.”

Are you worth my (client’s) time?

For Abby Rosenblum, investing time and energy in the right people is part of her business model.

Rosenblum is the founder and head matchmaker at e Social: Modern Matchmaking, a Colorado-based service that also hosts speed dating events.

Rosenblum’s services focus not only on helping her clients nd potential partners, but also on building their con dence and making dating enjoyable.

“ e sad part is I think we’re almost taught that dating should be di cult, should be frustrating and should be some kind of just negative thing in your life,” she said. “So a lot of the work I do is trying to teach people that dating can actually be fun, which is a crazy concept to almost everyone.”

When setting up dates, Rosenblum looks for people with values and physical appearances that t with what her clients are looking for.

“And then the other thing I look for too (is) like, is this person ready to date?” she said. “Are they in a good place? … Because you can meet the greatest person ever tomorrow, but if they’re like, ‘I just got red from my job and I hate everything,’ you might not connect with them in as good of a way.”

Rosenblum works mainly with singles in stable careers who are looking for serious, committed and monogamous relationships. As a matchmaker, she helps lter out potential partners who do not align with her clients’ stages of life so she can ensure they are investing their time and energy in relationships that could have a future.

Rosenblum, who works mainly with heterosexual clients, often collaborates with the head matchmaker at Denver’s Cupid, a matchmaking service that works with LGBTQ+ singles.

Like Smith, she doesn’t think speed dating events are a silver bullet for knowing if a relationship will work, but she said they can still be bene cial. Her company hosts speed dating at its events, including a single mingle that happened the rst week of February in Englewood.

In Rosenblum’s speed dating games, participants receive conversation prompts to help people learn something about their partners, from travel dreams to relationship goals.

“It’s like, ‘OK, am I curious to get to know them more?’ she said. “ at’s really the only thing you need to know after that ve minutes, because it’s hard to know anything else… What’s the harm in meeting again?”

A new hope for dating

Andrea Cunningham has been dating on and o for the past 10 years. She decided to attend the January Tantra Speed Date event when her housemate invited her because she thought it would introduce her to spiritually open minded people.

“He actually said, ‘Do you want to go to a woo-woo speed dating event?’ and my thought was ‘Oh, yeah, that might be my kind of people,’ because I’m not nding a lot of woo-woo folks on OkCupid,” she said.

At 58 years old, Cunningham is looking for someone who is compassionate, exible and open to “more heart-centered ideas,” she said.

Going into the speed dating event, Cunningham was feeling skeptical, she said. Mainly, she thought speed dating would be intimidating, but it wasn’t.

“I think maybe my whole idea about speed dating was wrong,” she said. “Maybe you’re not just awkwardly trying to talk with people 10 times in a row for ve minutes. Maybe there’s more to it than that… at was welldesigned.”

After her experience (and several dates that arose from the event), she said speed dating might be giving her new hope after taking a pause from dating for a while.

“I was trying to do a little online, I wasn’t getting anywhere, I stopped,” she said. “ en this came up — it may kick me into gear again.”

Renewing excitement about dating and personal connection is a goal of many speed dating events, especially in a world where fewer and fewer people feel connected to each other.

In Shahar’s speed dating events, re-connecting is the greatest bene t and goal.

“If you are tired of feeling disconnected from the world, and you want to have a moment of connection, this is a really great way to step into that,” he said. “Is it for everyone? No, I don’t think it’s for everyone. But it is for people that are like, ‘Hey, I want to create something magical within my relationship life and my dating life.’”

Rosenblum’s company co-hosted a speed dating event at Brewability Lab in Englewood on Feb. 2.

A whole new immersive Disney world

Anyone who has fallen in love with a Disney animated film knows one of the great joys of the studio’s work is getting lost in the astounding worlds that have been created. Now, fans of Disney can wander through many of their favorite worlds in a much more literal sense, thanks to Disney Animation: Immersive Experience.

“This year is Disney’s 100th anniversary, so we wanted to do something that really honored all the animators,” explained J. Miles Dale, an Oscar-winning producer and creative director of the experience. “What we created is a little bit educational, a little bit entertaining, and provides access to things most wouldn’t be able to see. It all combines to give that magical experience people have come to expect from Disney.”

Created in partnership with Walt Disney Animation Studios and Lighthouse Immersive Studios, the Disney Animation: Immersive Experience is on display at Lighthouse ArtSpace , 3900 Elati St. in Denver.

As Dale explains it, a trip to the famous Disney archives provided a wealth of inspiration for the cre-

ative team as they put the exhibit together. Seeing the early pencil sketches of seminal moments like Cinderella’s dress transformation was awe inspiring for the team.

“It was important for us to show how these characters and worlds were created. When you see how it was made and who made it, you appreciate the animation more,” he said. “I love hearing kids who are inspired to be animator after seeing the exhibit. They feel the magic and see some of themselves in these characters.”

According to provided information, additional exhibit features include interactive features within the projection show that move with visitors, and custom bracelets that light up in sync with the projections and specific movements. There’s also the Gazillion Bubbles effect, where 500,000 cubic feet of galleries are filled with bubbles.

The cumulative effect is to give visitors an experience like visiting one of Disney’s famous parks — one filled with wonder and escape.

“In a way, watching a movie is a passive experience, but this is very active. You are in the movies, immersed by them,” Dale said. “The totality of the experience makes it multigenerational. I can’t really think of anything my mother, me, my kids and their kids could all go to together like this.”

My original pick here was going to be Bruce Springsteen and e E Street Band at Ball Arena, but since tickets sold out pretty much instantaneously (at exorbitant prices, no less), let’s instead turn our attention to another great rock band that’ll be in town - Kentucky’s White Reaper. e group specializes in the kind of indie guitar rock that has unfortunately gone out of style in the last decade or so. ankfully, their latest album, “Asking for a Ride,” keeps that sonic palette going strong.

Funk, Ibarra claim state championship hardware

BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

DENVER – Legacy’s Quinn Funk and Skyview Academy’s Isaac Ibarra each won state titles in their respective weight classes.

Funk made quick work of Grandview’s Maxwell Kibbee in the class 5A 190-pound state match Feb. 18 at Ball Arena. He pinned Kibbee in the period.

“It has been amazing,” Funk said. “Just being able to wrestle here with all of my brothers here? It’s been really amazing.”

Funk (50-3) has four older brothers, three of whom lost in the finals at the tournament.

“They were just really proud of me,” the Legacy junior said.

Funk also beat topseeded Ponderosa’s Westin Hoffschneider in the semifinals 10-6 and also pinned Horizon’s Camden Neil in the opening round. He also pinned Fairview’s Sam Benton in the second round.

“I knew going in that if I wrestled all season. I could have come out on top,” Funk said.

Ibarra was just dominant in the class 3A 150-pound class. He beat Alamosa’s Kyler Liddell by major decision to claim the state title, capping an impressive senior season.

Ibarra (57-1) found little challenge throughout the tournament.

He pinned La Junta’s Santos Nunez in the opening round in 39 seconds, then pinned Pagosa Springs Chandler Mazur in 1:47 and Bennett’s Isaak Copeland in 5:45 to advance to the finals match.

“I had the mindset that I was going to dominate everybody,” Ibarra said. “I was nervous and excited to wrestle in front of all the fans.”

Ibarra didn’t realize the state championship was possible until he started to put work in at the beginning of the year.

“It started to become a reality after all the early mornings,” the senior said.

Most Endangered Places list gains sites

BY CARL BILEK COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Preservationists are in a constant race against time to save historic places at risk of being lost not just to the wrecking ball, but also to neglect and the elements.

Each year, Colorado’s Most Endangered Places, a program of Colorado Preservation, Inc., adds new sites to the list. is year’s theme is “Closer to the Heart.”

“It really begins with community. A grassroots movement,” said Katie Peterson, director of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places.

“History is not just museums,” she told Colorado Matters senior host Ryan Warner. “It’s living, you know, just driving by all of the places that my great-great grandparents or my great-great-great-grandparents did. Feeling and reliving your ancestors’ past is truly what history is about.”

Colorado’s Most Endangered Places works with communities and partners to raise both awareness and money to try to save sites at risk of being lost. In the past 25 years, it’s highlighted 135 historical sites in Colorado. Fifty- ve were saved and eight were lost.

Junita Martinez lives in the town of San Francisco, Colorado in the San Luis Valley. She is working to save a small one-room adobe structure called the Feminilas Building which was spearheaded by the women’s auxiliary in the 1920s.

“ e building has gone into disrepair, disarray. It’s because I don’t think people understood the signicance of it even though it was the community’s aunties and grandmas and mothers that belonged to it,” said Martinez. “It brings our community together and we can actually see a building that’s part of the roots of our community, part of the heart of our community, which I like. is building is the heart of our village.”

Here are the endangered locations featured on this year’s list, as well as one previous structure now listed as “saved” and another previous structure that has been lost.

Endangered: Feminilas Building, San Luis Valley, Costilla County

e Feminilas Building is in San Francisco, Colorado, near San Francisco Creek, which brings water to the region. It is the only known structure separately owned and operated by the women’s auxiliary of the men’s labor organization, La Sociedad Protección Mutua de Trabajadores Unidos (SPMDTU). It was spearheaded by the women’s auxiliary as a place to meet and fundraise.

e one-room adobe building is at risk of collapsing due to the elements. Colorado Preservation, Inc. says the building preserves the unique traditions, language, and culture of the San Luis Valley and the contributions of Hispanic women.

Endangered: Far View Visitor Center, Mesa Verde National Park, Montezuma County e Far View Visitor Center was

built in 1967 and is one of the rst visitor centers in the National Park Service. It closed in 2012. One idea is to preserve and renovate the building which features a unique architectural design and create a center for the Indigenous community in the region. Colorado Preservation, Inc. is hoping to partner with the National Park Service to save this building.

Endangered: Garcia School, San Luis Valley, Costilla County

e Garcia School is another adobe building, constructed in 1913. It is on the State Register of Historic Properties and is one of the last structures of Plaza de Los Manzanares, the site of the rst European settlement in Colorado. e Centennial School District has received a Colorado Department of Education and Connecting Colorado Students Grant (CCSG) for $3.2 million to create an internet and remote learning center in the Garcia School.

Endangered: Koch Homestead, near Aspen, Pitkin County

e Koch Homestead was critical to the settlement and development of Aspen. Also known as the Adelaide Ranch, the remaining structures are deteriorating. e Koch Homestead provided services like meat, produce, dairy, lumber, and fresh water to the rst miners and settlers in Aspen beginning in 1887. e U.S. Forest Service owns the property which is near hiking trails.

Endangered: South Platte Hotel, Je erson County

e hotel was built in 1913 after the original, constructed in 1887, was lost to arson. It is the only building left of the South Platte community and represents Colorado’s narrow gauge railroad history. e building has been owned by Denver Water since 1987 and while it is slated for demolition, there is growing interest among the community and historic organizations to work with Denver Water to nd an adaptive reuse of the building.

Saved: R&R Market, San Luis Valley, Costilla County

e R&R Market, now known as the San Luis Peoples Market in Costilla County, had been familyowned since 1857 and was in danger

Hickenlooper quietly convenes senators representing Colorado River Basin

Western water woes are topic

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

John Hickenlooper has been quietly convening fellow U.S. senators from six other Colorado River Basin states over the past year in an e ort to assist in the increasingly frantic conservation negotiations around the parched and overtaxed waterway that some 40 million people in the Southwest rely upon.

Hickenlooper, a Democrat, sees the informal, bipartisan caucus as a way to mediate interstate disagreements over how the river should be managed — and who should have to use less of its water — in the hope of preventing federal intervention. While states’ governors may not meet on a regular basis, senators from across the river basin are frequently together in Washington, D.C.

“ e idea here is that we’re looking at how to use more carrot and less stick,” he said. “ e key here is the federal government is not the best one to force a deal. e best solution is going to be a solution that all seven states sign o on.”

e group of senators has been meeting every few weeks to discuss Colorado River Basin issues.

e gatherings have become more frequent amid Biden administration deadlines for basin states to come to

PLACES

of being lost to the ravages of time. It was the oldest business in the state.

Dr. Devon Peña has since purchased the building and has opened a store that provides fresh produce to the region and will soon o er a hardware store.

Lost: Craig Depot, Mo at County e Craig Depot, built in 1917 in

a water conservation agreement that prevents Lake Mead and Lake Powell levels from dropping too low. e reservoirs are already at historically low levels, yet the negotiation deadlines have come and passed without a deal.

“I think the senators can provide additional information that maybe the states don’t all have,” Hickenlooper said, “and make sure that everyone is working together.”

Hickenlooper didn’t provide details on what the caucus has discussed, but he said the group has met with Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton, who warned that 4 million acre-feet in existing water use must be pared back.

“We’re all really hearing what priorities and speci c issues are with each state and with the water users in each state,” he said. “As long as we understand that and are working from the same set of facts, we’re probably going to come up with a much better solution than if things degenerate into lawsuits.”

Hickenlooper said the caucus is looking to formalize itself with a chair and subchairs from the upper and lower Colorado River Basin.

How much money is being spent by candidates?

We will never know

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

How much money are the candidates to lead the Colorado GOP and Colorado Democratic Party raising and spending? We don’t know and we won’t nd out.

at’s because there’s no state law or party bylaw that requires candidates for state party chair to report their fundraising and spending, though there are campaign nance disclosure rules for people who run for city council, legislature and Congress.

e candidates are spending money, however, and some are asking others to donate. Several of the contenders have websites, are traveling across the state to visit with local party leaders and activists, and are trying to persuade party central committee members to support their campaigns through texts, robocalls and emails.

Democratic Chairwoman Morgan Carroll and Republican Chairwoman Kristi Burton Brown are both stepping aside in the coming weeks, and there are multiple candidates to replace both of them. Whoever wins the contests — Democrats will select their new state chair April 1 while the GOP will select its new leader March 11 — will have a big in uence over the future direction of their respective parties. ey may also be paid tens

of thousands a year for their work.

Carroll estimated she spent $5,000 on a website and travel costs in her rst campaign to be party chair in 2015. She was paid about $73,000 in 2022. Burton Brown said she spent about $2,000 of her own money when she ran for the job two years ago, while her opponent, former Secretary of State Scott Gessler, told e Sun he spent less than $25,000 with “a substantial number of supporters who contributed.” Burton Brown was paid about $72,000 in 2022. is year, Tim Kubik, a party volunteer and education consultant who lives in Larimer County, aims to raise $25,000 to fund his campaign for Democratic Party chair, according to an email obtained by e Sun. A robocall delivered a similar message to prospective donors.

Kubik said he’s spending on campaign consultants and media, raising donations that are averaging $100. “Since all of my donors are family, friends, or volunteer supporters, I’d prefer not to disclose their names, as many have donated expecting anonymity under current state law,” he said in an email.

Current First Vice Chairman Howard Chou is also raising money on his website, but said “It’s not a lot.” He hopes to print yers and send mailers to central committee members.

Casper Stockham, one of the GOP chair candidates, tweeted Monday that the contest “is be-

tween We e People and big money.” He’s seeking donations on his website. So is Erik Aadland, who is running for state party chair after losing his 7th Congressional District bid in November. Aaron Wood, a Highland Ranch activist, isn’t asking for donations on his website as part of his chair bid. Steven Varela, of Pueblo, doesn’t have a website for his GOP chair campaign.

One state party chair candidate who said he isn’t raising money is Shad Murib, a Democrat who has worked for U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper and Gov. Jared Polis. He said he wasn’t comfortable asking people for money that would go into his bank account with no disclosure of how it’s used. He is, however, allowing a friend to create bandanas for his e ort.

“We’re de nitely putting miles on the truck like never before,” said Murib, whose wife is former state Sen. Kerry Donovan, a Vail Democrat.

Murib said he’d support an effort to change state law to require reporting of donations and expenditures of candidates for state party chair.

Kubik said he wouldn’t oppose requiring such disclosure, while Chou said he didn’t think campaign nance reporting is needed for state party chair contests.

“It’s a private election,” Chou said. “It’s like running for union president or Elks Lodge president.”

Gessler and Burton Brown also said they wouldn’t support requiring candidates for state party chair to report how much money they raise and spend.

“It’s not an election you can buy,” Burton Brown said in a text message. “It’s a very relationship- and issue-based race.”

Both parties are slated to nish electing county-level o cers on Wednesday, with congressional and multicounty legislative district o cers elected in coming weeks.
