Englewood accepting applications to fix up neighborhoods

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From adorning posts with colorful metal art to creating a “sharing box” lled with toys, food and other items, residents are encouraged to submit their ideas to the city to better their neighborhoods.

e city is accepting applications for neighborhood improvement grants.

Madeline Hinkfuss, the city’s neighborhood engagement program manager, said groups can apply for up to $3,000 to complete a project.

“Projects should activate gathering spaces and bring neighbors together,” Hinkfuss said. “Projects will celebrate a neighborhood’s unique character, engage skills and knowledge from neighbors and aim to improve the quality of life for

Hinkfuss said the idea for the grant was sparked a few years ago after a Cushing neighborhood leader “had a vision to turn an old vacant concrete lot into a gathering space for the neighborhood but needed more assistance than any current

“Other neighborhoods also had similar ideas,”

The Belleview Park Neighbors used the Neighborhood Improvement Grant to install a Community Sharing Box at the Southwest Greenbelt. It is a sharing and exchange center filled with items including toys, arts and crafts, food and basic toiletries.

Neighbors living along the alley of Bates Logan Park in Englewood got together and transformed the posts on the west side of the park by painting them and creating metal flower art and sculptures.

Here’s How to Play the Inspection Game on Both Sides of a Residential Transaction

A common strategy for winning a bidding war — and I’m seeing more bidding wars nowadays, including on our own listings — is to “waive inspection.”

Another is to waive appraisal objection, but I’ll deal with that in a future column.

There are three inspection fields in the state-mandated contract to buy and sell a home: inspection termination, inspection objection and inspection resolution.

use other termination deadlines (such as for title, HOA documents, insurability, etc.) to terminate for an inspection issue identified later on.

In composing a contract to purchase a home, the buyer might decide to sweeten his or her offer by eliminating the inspection contingency. This is obviously attractive to the seller, but “buyer beware!”

First of all, realize that the buyer can exercise one or the other — inspection termination or inspection objection, but not both, even though deadlines can be entered for both. (Inspection resolution only applies if there’s an inspection objection.) If a buyer submits an inspection objection with a list of requested repairs, he can’t change his mind later on and decide to terminate. At that point, if the seller submits an inspection resolution agreeing to every demand you made, the buyer is bound (in my non-legal opinion) to sign it as a matter of good faith (which is embodied in the contract), and once both parties have signed it, they are “past inspection.”

That good faith provision of the contract (Section 28) says that both buyer and seller must act in good faith with respect to sections of the contract, including inspection, which have termination provisions, and the Colorado Real Estate Commission has instructed us that this means you can only use an opportunity to terminate if you are terminating pursuant to the stated provision.

In other words, while you can terminate for any reason (including buyer’s remorse) under the inspection termination provision, which merely states that the buyer has found the property’s condition unsatisfactory “in Buyer’s sole subjective discretion,” the buyer cannot

(Given the recent increases in home insurance costs, however, a buyer could reasonably defend terminating on insurability, which again is at buyer’s “sole subjective discretion,” without revealing that it was really buyer’s remorse, or because of a newly identified inspection issue.)

Let’s say that a buyer has waived inspection objection but not inspection termination. Both buyer and seller need to recognize that this does not mean that the buyer can’t get the seller to fix a serious issue. The buyer still has the right to inspect every conceivable component or feature of the property — even whether there’s an externality such as a noisy neighbor or construction project nearby. If he finds that there’s a major problem (such as a structural issue or sewer line collapse), the buyer’s agent can notify the listing agent that the buyer intends to terminate because of it and, guess what? The listing agent will explain to the seller that this issue exists and will have to be disclosed to a future buyer, likely convincing the seller to say, “I’ll fix that problem if you don’t terminate.”

Upon receiving a purchase contract which waives inspection objection but not termination, a good listing agent will warn his seller about this possibility, just as a good buyer’s agent might advise the buyer that waiving inspection objection isn’t as final as it may sound.

One way to make a contract which waives inspection objection but not termination more attractive to the seller is one that was included in the purchase contract on our own Arvada listing featured a couple weeks ago. The buyer included an earnest money deposit that was higher than the minimum specified in the MLS and stated under additional provisions that $10,000 of it would be non-refundable upon acceptance of the contract by the seller. I wouldn't advise this strategy without a detailed inspec-

It appears every Thursday in all editions of the Denver Post’s YourHub section, plus the following weekly newspapers: Arvada Press, Brighton Standard Blade, Canyon Courier, Castle Pines News-Press, Castle Rock News-Press, Centennial Citizen, Clear Creek Courant, Commerce City Sentinel Express, Denver Herald-Dispatch, Douglas County News Press, Elbert County News, Englewood Herald, Fort Lupton Press, Golden Transcript, Highlands Ranch Herald, Hustler 285, Jeffco Transcript, Littleton Independent, Lone Tree Voice, MetroWest Advertiser, Northglenn-Thornton Sentinel, Parker Chronicle, South Platte Independent & Westminster Window.

tion (perhaps with a professional inspector) during a scheduled showing prior to submitting a contract with this provision. The buyer could still terminate but would be out $10,000, and it might reduce the incentive for the seller to say, “Hey, I’ll fix that!”

Another common provision in a competitive bidding situation is for the contract to limit the extent of demands to be included in buyer’s inspection objection. For example, “health and safety items only,” or “only issues requiring over $2,000 to mitigate or repair.”

In responding to a list of inspection objections, it’s increasingly common, especially among elderly sellers, to offer a financial concession or a price reduction instead of fixing certain items. One drawback of this approach, however, is that if the buyer is financing the purchase with a mortgage, the lender won’t want to see that a serious problem is not being addressed prior to closing. This is completely understandable. And it’s hard to keep that information from the lender without being guilty of mortgage fraud, which is a federal offense.

A strategy I favor in that case is to have the seller pre-pay for the repair at closing, with the title company writing a check payable to a vendor for the repair out of the seller’s proceeds from the transaction. Alternatively, the title company might escrow the money for said repair, giving the buyer an opportunity to shop for the best vendor.

Sometimes not all inspections can be completed by the objection deadline. The buyer could ask for an amendment to the contract changing the deadline, but there’s another, simpler solution that I have employed. Let’s say you don’t have the radon results prior to the objection deadline. I would insert in my buyer’s inspection objection the following sentence: “In the event that radon is determined by the inspector to be above the EPA action level, seller agrees to mitigate it using a licensed radon mitigation company.”

The purpose of inspections is to discover “hidden defects,” but sometimes a buyer will want to ask for something that wasn’t hidden at all, such as a

“Concentrate

cracked driveway or old carpeting. My suggestion as the seller’s agent is to deny those requests outright, since they should have been (and probably were) taken into consideration when the buyer chose to submit their contract.

Now let’s say the seller submits an inspection resolution that ignores too many of the buyer’s demands. If both parties don’t sign a resolution prior to the resolution deadline, the contract automatically expires. Remember, this is a negotiation, just like the negotiation which got the home under contract. Either party, not just the seller, can write the inspection resolution, so the procedure for “countering” an unacceptable inspection resolution is to write another one, back and forth if necessary.

Getting a backup contract has a role to play in handling inspection demands. With a backup contract for the same price, my seller can share the buyer’s demands (plus the full inspection report) with the backup buyer and ask if they would accept the house as-in without those demands for repairs. This creates a no-lose situation for my seller. I can tell the buyer that our backup buyer will accept the house as-is if they terminate. The buyer will then likely withdraw their inspection objection, but if they decide to terminate, that has the same effect. Either way, it’s a win for my client, which is what I’m hired to get.

This long column reflects over two decades of experience dealing with inspection issues for both buyers and sellers — and I have not covered all the scenarios one might encounter. If nothing else, I hope this article convinces readers that having an experienced agent, such as those of us at Golden Real Estate, on your side in a real estate transaction is the best way to assure the optimal outcome for you.

Inspection Is Buyer’s Responsibility

Now and then I see an inspection objection which calls for the seller to hire a specialist, such as an engineer or electrician, to inspect this-or-that and to fix any problem discovered, but the contract specifically says that inspection is the responsibility and expense of the buyer.

Errors adding up for Medicaid recipients

Colorado Medicaid insurance terminations

seventh highest

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Two-thirds of Coloradans who have lost their health insurance during Medicaid’s unwinding process are still eligible for coverage - but were terminated due to administrative errors, according to a new Colorado Center on Law and Policy brief.

Katherine Wallat, the Center’s legal director, said she has heard from people who have been forced to postpone critical heart surgery due to lack of coverage.

“Or a child who had cancer treat-

ment, who had to stop his treatment for a period of time because the family couldn’t a ord it,” said Wallat. “But in fact he was eligible for Medicaid during the time that he was terminated. So the costs are high.”

Medicaid coverage renewed automatically during the pandemic, but that policy ended in April of last year.

During the rst six months of unwinding, over 412,000 Coloradans lost coverage.

e Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing has largely dismissed concerns about the high rate of procedural disenrollments, arguing the process has simply returned to normal and that some participants are not returning paperwork.

Wallat said Colorado’s enrollment

process was broken long before the pandemic.

Due to a host of factors including the state’s fragmented, county-administered system, she said Medicaid participants routinely get notices giving them wrong or contradictory information.

Many never received correct notication of their impending termination date.

“ ere was an audit done by the legislature, nding 90% of the notices are incorrect,” said Wallat. “It’s really not just the members, it’s not just people who should be doing something di erently, and that if they just did that, we wouldn’t have such a high rate.”

Arapahoe County deputy fired after conviction for providing gun to felon

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An Arapahoe County Sheri ’s Ofce deputy was red on March 5 following his conviction by a federal jury for providing a gun to a felon.

Johnny Alvarado, 33, was found guilty on March 4, according to the U.S. Attorney’s O ce for the District of Colorado. e jury concluded that Alvarado, a Lakewood resident, had given a rearm and ammunition to his brother-in-law, Kyle Garcia, according to the attorney’s o ce. Garcia was a felon on supervised re-

lease at the time.

A probation o cer found a loaded 9mm semi-automatic rearm in a closet at Garcia’s home during a routine visit, according to court documents and o cials. During the visit, Garcia allegedly admitted to having the rearm, handling it and racking the slide to see if there was ammunition in the rearm, o cials say.

Alvarado allegedly admitted to the probation o cer that he provided the gun to Garcia knowing he was a felon, o cials say.

Garcia pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a rearm and was sentenced to 66 months of probation, according to o cials.

Alvarado, who was found guilty of

a felony charge of unlawful disposition of a rearm, has not yet been sentenced. He faces up to 15 years in prison and a ne of up to $250,000, according to court documents.

Alvarado started working in the Arapahoe County Detention Facility for the sheri ’s o ce on Dec. 30, 2021, according to a press release from the sheri ’s o ce.

On May 12, 2023 the sheri ’s o ce was noti ed that Alvarado was facing a criminal investigation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Denver Field Division. e sheri ’s o ce placed him on paid suspension and opened an internal investigation.

Alvarado was arrested days later by the U.S. Marshal Service and was

placed on unpaid suspension by the sheri ’s o ce at that time.

A felony conviction is a “disqualifying incident” for police o cers, according to the Colorado Peace Ofcer Standards and Training (POST) board, which manages the certi cation of police o cers across the state.

In the past ve years, nine o cers from the Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce have been the subject of action from the POST board, according to its database.

Since January 2019, eight deputies, including Alvarado, have been red from the Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce, spokesperson Ginger Delgado said. Besides Alvarado, two other terminations were after a criminal conviction.

Mom joined by hundreds at vigil for son who was killed in Highlands Ranch crash

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hundreds of people gathered around the family of 13-year-old Alex Mackiewicz the night of March 7 at a candlelight vigil by the side of Highlands Ranch Parkway. Only a day earlier the boy had been struck and killed by a car.

“It’s very hard for me to come here today and face so many people, but something has to change and maybe it starts with my son’s death,” said Mackiewicz’s mother, Victoria.

Amid the sounds of Mackiewicz’s family and friends — including children and young teens weeping and holding onto one another — people took turns sharing how much Alex meant to them. Fellow students came up and spoke to his humorous, fun side, prompting laughter, and praising him as a classmate.

His mother made a plea to parents to make a di erence in kids’ safety and pedestrians.

According to the tra c unit at the sheri ’s o ce, there have been eight crashes at the Venneford-Highlands Ranch Parkway intersection in the past three years, none involving pedestrians.

Meanwhile, neighbors and well wishers are donating to help cover the costs of the funeral and associated expenses. A family member, Wendy Cegielski, set up a GoFundMe that raised more than $20,000 within ve hours.

Even before the vigil, an outpouring of decorations and sentimental items appeared at the intersection near where Mackiewicz lost his life. e family said the boy was excited that morning and looking forward to his rst baseball practice of the season.

“Moms of Colorado, dads of Colorado, I want you to use my son’s name,” said Victoria. “I am going to start talking on behalf of my son and make some kind of change.”

e memorial continued to grow as the night went on. Balloons, owers, stu ed animals, photos, candles and signs with touching messages were piled onto one another. Chalk was provided to encourage people to express their condolences.

“Alex journeyed to school that day brimming with the excitement and anticipation of his rst baseball practice of the season,” Wendy Cegielski wrote in the GoFundMe post. “Alex loved baseball and was a great athlete, proudly batting and pitching lefty.”

She added Alex was a light in the lives who knew him, a gentle, kind and caring soul.

e principal of the middle school, Alison Shanor, sent a letter on March 6 to the community about the loss of the student and expressed her condolences to the family, according to Paula Hans, Douglas County School District public information o cer.

Mackiewicz’s death adds to a tragic trend – a dramatic rise in pedestrian deaths across Colorado, up by 155% in 2023 compared to a decade ago, according to data from state transportation o cials.

e Mountain Ridge Middle School seventh-grader was crossing the intersection of Venneford Ranch Road and Highlands Ranch Parkway at 6:48 a.m. on March 6, when a vehicle going eastbound on the parkway struck him.

Mackiewicz’s mother said her son was almost across the crosswalk when he was hit.

e Douglas County Sheri ’s Ofce said no driver has been charged or cited as the sheri ’s o ce said the investigation is ongoing. e sheri declined to release any additional information, including the crash report at this time.

In the letter, Shanor told the community that during this period of sadness, children and teens can experience a wide range of feelings and behaviors when dealing with a tragedy such as this.

e letter o ered additional resources from the school district’s crisis team.

Pedestrian-vehicle crashes trend upwards

e tragic death of Mackiewicz comes about ve months after the loss of another student, 13-year-old Liam Stewart of Littleton. A driver struck him with a vehicle while he was riding his bicycle to school. e driver, Beth Ann Hutchinson, pleaded guilty in February to careless driving resulting in death.

A memorial for Mountain Ridge Middle School seventh-grader Alex Mackiewicz was set up on Highlands Ranch Parkway, near Venneford Ranch Road. Mackiewicz was crossing the intersection the morning of March 6 when he was fatally struck by a vehicle going eastbound on Highlands Ranch Parkway.

As more Colorado students get free meals, state may cut back

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

In the rst year that Colorado is paying districts to give students free meals at school, more kids are eating than expected. at has left the program $56.1 million short this year. And lawmakers are working on how to close the funding gap.

Colorado voters in 2022 supported creating limits on tax deductions for the state’s highest earners as a way to fund free school meals for all students. Advocates at the time said that there were families in Colorado who, due to the state’s high cost of living, were struggling nancially even though they didn’t qualify for subsidized meals under federal pov-

erty guidelines.

In calculating the cost of the program, analysts expected that about 25% more children would eat a school meal, including students who would have quali ed for free meals already and those who wouldn’t.

Instead, schools this year have seen a more than 35% increase in breakfast participation, and a more than 31% increase for lunch compared with last year.

e higher-than-expected participation — and program cost — is due largely to students who previously had to pay for a school meal. In most cases, the federal government doesn’t reimburse the districts for any part of those children’s meals, leaving the state to cover those costs alone.

In the Cherry Creek School District, district leaders said they are serving about 32,262 meals a day on average, up from 23,317 a day last year — a 38% increase.

e state legislature’s Joint Budget Committee this week agreed to ll the $56.1 million gap this year. About $31.5 million can be covered with additional revenue that has come in from the new tax provision, but the rest will likely need to come from the state’s general fund.

e committee is also providing $100,000 this year, and $150,000 next year, for the Colorado Department of Education to hire a consultant to help come up with solutions that might keep the program on budget next school year. at e ort could involve guring out how to maximize how much money districts get from the federal government.

But lawmakers said the state will consider all options. at includes cutting the program, changing the eligibility rules for free meals, or nding new ways to pay for it, such as pulling money from the education budget.

Committee lawmakers said that changing the eligibility rules would be a last resort.

“ ere are a lot of families that technically don’t qualify for free or reduced lunch, but man is it a huge help to them making rent,” said Sen. Je Bridges, a Democrat from Greenwood Village. “I would be really uncomfortable with anything that puts a means test back into this program.” Bridges also said a goal of the program was to remove the stigma of

eating free school meals by making them available to everyone, not just to students from low-income families.

Advocacy groups are also working on possible solutions. Anya Rose, director of public policy for Hunger Free Colorado, said the group is considering how to make the program more sustainable, including the possibility of a new ballot measure.

Without any changes to the meal program, state analysts predict Colorado will come up short by $27.8 million next year.

In addition to the universal free school meals, voters approved three grant programs that were supposed to be rolled out in the coming school years. e grants were meant to help districts with things like buying Colorado-grown food for meals, providing stipends for kitchen employees, and paying for training or equipment.

For now, those grant programs will be on hold.

Lawmakers on the Joint Budget Committee debated this week over whether they had a responsibility to keep the voter-approved program going, regardless of the additional cost to the state.

Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Brighton Republican, said that cost calculations have changed and the state has to deal with that.

“All of these warnings were given to us before, and we ignored them,” she said.

Before the plan was put to voters, lawmakers defeated a plan to o er free school meals to all, in part because of concerns about the cost.

“Colorado may be unable to regulate ight patterns, but we can use state funds to reward airports that choose to have e ective noise plans in place that are approved by the federal government,” Weiser said in his statement. “Colorado may be unable to mandate that aircraft transition to safer unleaded fuel, but we can create funding incentives to encourage that transition.”

Colorado can also ensure that communities impacted by ight noise have a voice and a seat on the state board that administer state grants to airports through HB24-1235, Weiser said.

Finance hearing next

e bill is likely to be challenged by airport lobbying groups as unconstitutional, he said. However, the ideas behind the legislation are thoughtful and re ective. “And, if necessary, I am prepared to defend this bill in court,” Weiser said.

After more than seven hours of testimony Wednesday, the bill passed the state House’s Committee on Transportation, Housing and Local Government and is now headed to the House Finance Committee. A hearing date has not been set yet.

e bill creates a state income tax

credit for owners of aircraft who transition from using lead fuel to the unleaded variety.  Advocates say aircraft powered by leaded fuel leaves a deadly toxic trail over homes and schools.

According to the legislation, Colorado’s state aviation grant program would give grants to general aviation airports and commercial airports to fund infrastructure changes that allow the sale of unleaded aviation gasoline at those airports.

e state’s aeronautical board would also expand from seven to nine voting members by requiring the appointment of two members who are residents of communities that are a ected by general aviation tra c, the bill states.

e bill includes another provision that allows the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to have a non-voting member on the aeronautical board.

Westminster resident Charlene Willey said via email that the bill is a good start toward safeguarding homes near local airports. But it also passed with amendments suggested by the aviation industry, she said.

In her testimony to the house committee, Willey said that operations at nearby Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport have increased by over 80% since 2017.

“ at tra c is primarily from leadspewing piston engine aircraft now es-

timated to dust our homes, schools and playgrounds with over a ton of lead micro particulates every year,” Willey said.

“Clearly, the community needs help from this legislature to bring this disregard for public welfare under control,” Willey said.

“A lot of them are my friends, but a lot of them are brand new,” he said. “To be able to place a couple of big orders within a couple months from these people, it’s great … It makes me happy to see that they’re doing good.”

Mayo said supporting these businesses helps keep money local, which is good for Colorado’s economy.

e meat is all-natural and fresh, Mayo said. e beef is from Colorado and the chicken and pork come from Colorado, Iowa, Texas and Kansas.

“We focus on the ethical farms,” Mayo said. “We focus on the natural meat and stu , so no antibiotics or hormones, preservatives or anything.”

For people who do not eat meat,

the shop has tofu and will soon start selling a Colorado-made tempeh brand.

Mayo said Littleton Meats recently got approved for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. He said he is looking forward to being able to provide healthy, local goods to people with lower incomes.

Littleton Meats also has a licensed prep kitchen that small businesses can use to get their food manufacturing license, Mayo said.

“ is helps them be able to expand where they’re selling and grow their business as well,” he said.

Mayo said he hopes to have more community events, like a farmer’s market, Christmas tree sales, pumpkin patches and more. He also said the shop is starting to collaborate with local restaurants.

Littleton Meats will have a corned beef discount for St. Patrick’s Day and is planning some sales for March Madness.

Parker mom ditches gluten, not flavor, at bakery

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Allyson Rydwell’s son was diagnosed with celiac disease, she started experimenting with new ways of baking. Her son could no longer eat gluten because of his diagnosis. With ve kids, Rydwell wanted not only to help her son, but make meals that everyone in her family would like.

“I didn’t want to eat all my trials … so I would send them to work with my husband or (to) school with the kids,” she said. “And people started o ering to pay me to make them cakes and breads and things.”

Now, that experiment has expanded into a successful glutenfree bakery called Wave the Grain. With two locations — one in Centennial and one in unincorporated Je erson County near Littleton — Rydwell and her 28 employees bake up gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and keto desserts and meals for customers.

Every day, the bakeries o er breads, brownies, cinnamon rolls and mini cakes. Some days there are cookies, scones or cannoli. Cupcakes, donuts and croissants often make appearances. And at the publication of this story on March 14 — also known as Pi Day — it’s a great spot for fruit and cream pies.

For something a little more substantial, the bakery also sells breakfast burritos and quiches.

Rydwell, who lives in Parker, said her favorite part of running the business is helping people see that there are delicious and healthy options available for them if they have dietary restrictions.

Experts estimate that celiac disease, which Rydwell’s son has, impacts about 2 million people in the United States. It is an immune disorder that damages the small intestine when a person eats gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

disease diagnosis, two of Rydwell’s daughters learned that they had to stop eating dairy.

“Right about the time I was guring out gluten-free baking, I had to change things up again and do some dairy-free stu ,” she said.

Lactose intolerance can also be related to celiac disease, according to a patient advocacy group, so Rydwell started adding dairy-free foods to the bakery. Since then, she has expanded to vegan and keto options as well.

She said the bakery also o ers specialty orders for anyone with more speci c allergen needs.

“We will specialty make whatever you want,” she said. “If you need a cake made with duck eggs and coconut oil, we will make that happen.”

e bakery has a closed-o area for nuts, keeping the rest of the kitchen safe from possible contamination for those who have allergies. And for more serious health concerns, Rydwell said the bakers will come in early to bake a product before anything else is happening in the kitchen to reduce all potential for cross-contamination.

Other people have sensitivities, autoimmune disorders or allergies that limit their consumption of gluten.

Learning that you have to change to a gluten-free diet can be “disconcerting,” Rydwell said.

Of the customers who visit the bakeries, Rydwell said about half of them have dietary restrictions — and the other half just enjoy the food. For people who can’t always eat what their friends are eating, Rydwell said the ability to share and enjoy food together is a gift.

“You feel like you can’t eat what you want anymore, that your options are really limited,” she said. “ ere’s a lot of opportunity to really help people understand that there are good, fresh ingredients, that there are healthy ingredients that you can use to supplement and change regular recipes into glutenfree recipes.”

“When you have a diagnosis of a food allergy, and the food that you’ve eaten has made you sick — sometimes for years — it really becomes sort of an emotional issue,” she said. “So much of our American culture is based around food and celebration and being together, and not being able to fully participate in that can really be shattering.”

She said her bakery o ers a full array of choices that people can share with their gluten-eating friends. Instead of only getting to eat some stale, hard cookie from the back of a restaurant, people at Wave the Grain can share and enjoy food, no matter what their dietary needs are.

“My

In the grand tapestry of human endeavor, few threads are as vital and vibrant as teamwork. It’s the symphony of collaboration that elevates us beyond our individual limitations, enabling us to achieve feats that would otherwise be impossible. Whether in the realms of sports, business, or society at large, the essence of teamwork weaves its magic, transforming aspirations into achievements, and dreams into reality.

At its core, teamwork embodies the essence of unity in diversity. It’s about bringing together individuals with varied backgrounds, skills and perspectives, and harnessing the collective genius that emerges from such diversity. In a team, each member is like a unique instrument in an orchestra, contributing their own notes to create harmonious melodies. Just as a solitary instrument may produce beautiful sounds, it’s only when combined with others that the true symphony unfolds.

One of the most compelling aspects of teamwork is its ability to amplify strengths and mitigate weaknesses. In a well-functioning team, each member brings something valuable to the table, whether it’s expertise in a particular domain, creative thinking, leadership skills, or sheer determination. By leveraging these diverse strengths, teams can tackle challenges with a multifaceted approach, devising innovative solutions and adapting to unforeseen obstacles with agility.

Moreover, teamwork fosters a culture of support and camaraderie that sustains individuals through trials and tribulations. When faced with setbacks or adversity, it’s the collective spirit of the team that provides solace and encouragement, propelling members forward with renewed determination. In times of triumph, it’s the shared joy of achievement that magni es the sense of ful llment, binding team members together in bonds that transcend mere professional association.

Consider the realm of sports,

The power of teamwork VOICES

where teamwork is not just a means to an end but an ethos unto itself. In team sports like soccer, basketball, softball or football, victory hinges not only on individual skill but on the seamless coordination and synchronization of every player on the eld. Each pass, each block, each sprint is a testament to the collective e ort of the team, where success is shared and celebrated by all. e legendary basketball coach Phil Jackson once remarked, “ e strength of the team is each individual member. e strength of each member is the team.” is sentiment encapsulates the essence of teamwork in sports and beyond.

Similarly, in the corporate world, teamwork is the cornerstone of success in an increasingly interconnected and complex landscape. From startups to multinational corporations, organizations thrive when their employees collaborate e ectively towards common goals. Cross-functional teams bring together experts from di erent departments to tackle projects with a holistic perspective, fostering innovation and driving growth. Moreover, in an era marked by rapid change and uncertainty, the ability to collaborate across boundaries is not just advantageous but essential for survival.

Beyond the realms of sports and business, teamwork is also a driving force for positive change in society. Whether it’s grassroots movements advocating for social justice, humanitarian e orts to alleviate poverty, or international collaborations to address global challenges like climate change, teamwork lies at the heart of collective action. It’s the countless individuals working together, each contributing their time, resources or expertise, who have the power to effect meaningful change and build a better world for future generations.

However, despite its myriad bene ts, e ective teamwork is not always easy to achieve. It requires trust, communication and a willingness to set aside ego in favor of the greater good. It demands patience and perseverance, as con icts inevitably arise, and consensus may be hard-won. Yet, it’s precisely through navigating these

The power of orcas at DMNS

OCOMING ATTRACTIONS

cean life is endlessly fascinating to so many people, even in a completely landlocked state like Colorado. e animals are just so iconic — sharks, dolphins, sea turtles… the list goes on and on. But for many, the quintessential animal is the orca (or killer whale).

e Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s, 2001 Colorado Blvd., latest exhibition, “Orcas: Our Shared Future,” delves deep into the cultural history of humans’ relationship with the animals and just how intelligent and complex they are.

Developed by the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, BC, in partnership with Museums Partner, an exhibition design rm specializing in traveling exhibits, the interactive exhibit opens on Friday, March 15.

We conducted an email interview with the museum’s Chris Patrello, Curator of Anthropology, and Ju-

lie Peterson, experience developer, about what makes these animals so special, what visitors can expect and more.

Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

Why are so many people fascinated by orcas?

Orcas are powerful, intelligent, and elusive marine mammals that have become ubiquitous in popular culture over the last 60 years. ey thrive in an ecosystem that is completely di erent from ours, and are apex predators. For many people, including millennials who grew up with “Free Willy” and SeaWorld commercials, orcas have been part of their childhood. Even for older generations, who came of age during the era of live capture for marine parks, many people –especially in the United States and Canada – have been surrounded by larger-than-life stories about orcas. ey inspire a sense of wonder as evocative marine mammals and as enduring cultural symbols.

What will visitors get to see in the exhibit?

Visitors will see scienti c speci-

mens, artworks, and pop culture ephemera that demonstrate our complex and multidimensional relationship with orcas.

e exhibit approaches these issues from multiple perspectives, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of orca mammalogy and the social relationships that bond groups of orcas together. Likewise, the exhibit also highlights the diverse ways in which Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast articulate their relationships with orcas and their importance to ongoing and vibrant social practices that have existed since time immemorial. e exhibit also examines the history of orca captivity and the consequences of the marine park industry on orca populations, and closes with a section on orca advocacy and conservation, which will empower visitors to consider how we can collectively support habitat protection.

What do you hope visitors come away with?

By coming to know the story of orcas, we hope visitors are inspired to care about the health of the world’s oceans. e exhibit clearly shows that we as humans are deeply connected to orcas and the environment, no matter where we come from. We also hope that visitors come away with a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the art of Indigenous peoples of North America’s Northwest Coast, as there are truly beautiful examples throughout the entire exhibition. Visitors will also see the similarities between orca cultures and human cultures, reinforcing the importance of respecting and protecting these

Littleton-area fashion designer starts unique skiwear business

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anna Tedstrom was raised in Vail and grew up skiing and doing outdoor activities with her brothers and friends. ose adventures sparked an idea to design unique ski wear, so she started Hoohah, a clothing company where people can nd bright and colorful skiwear adorned with owers, hearts and other designs.

“When I moved to Colorado, I missed the outdoor activities, so I started bringing my girlfriends from Florida and Chicago out on ski trips to Vail,” said Tedstrom, who now lives in the Littleton area. “ en I had the idea about getting into the outdoor industry and wanted to learn more about fashion.”

Becoming a fashion designer

She started the process by attending a fashion design school at Parsons School of Design in New York City. “I studied product design because I wanted to make camping gear or backpacks and tents,” Tedstrom said.

Tedstrom said she was interested in the technical aspects, so she started making furniture, then took a detour into toys and worked for Mattel. From there, she started working for Restoration Hardware in San Francisco.

But Tedstrom still dreamed of designing clothes, so she started working for a company called Marine Layer in San Francisco, a California casual clothing company where she worked as a technical designer with the factories and took on a job as a product developer.

“I was working on the t and the construction of all of the garments for both the men’s and women’s lines. I was really trying to learn a lot about outerwear and also met with manufacturers,” Tedstrom said.

A skiwear line is born

When she went on ski trips with friends, Tedstrom said her friends were intimidated by skiing, so she started wearing her mom’s old onesie ski wear with tight legs and fringe.

“Skiing became more about getting out and having a good time dancing and chatting on chairlifts. It didn’t matter how long we were out there or how many runs we did. My friends were distracted by my out t and wanted to go vintage shopping,” Tedstrom said.

Tedstrom said when she and her friends went vintage shopping, they created fun ski out ts; some had stains and holes or didn’t have fringe, so they added more fringe.

“We started upcycling them, retro tting them and sewing them to t better. If they had a hole, I would sew it closed or make massive ower patches to put over the holes and stains, giving them a new life and a new personality to make them fun,” Tedstrom said.

When the girls wore them, Tedstrom said people would stop them on the slopes and ask where they got the out ts.

“ ey would say, ‘I want one.’ So I started making some custom pieces for people,” Tedstrom said.

Under the ski suits they were upcycling, Tedstrom said they had a black eece lining that she didn’t particularly like.

“I thought, I can’t wear a black eece under this fun out t. I’m going to start making some eeces, which would be easier to sell as well,” she said. “I started making eece long-sleeve tops and then eece bra tops as well.”

Tedstrom began selling her unique ski and activewear at markets and pop-ups. She also started manufacturing bibs with more sizes and colors.

“I started manufacturing our Sunnyside bibs and this year I actually was able to make 300 of them. We are growing little by little,” Tedstrom said.

Hopes for the future

Tedstrom said she’s working on getting her business to work independently and support itself. It takes a lot of money to

manufacture, especially outerwear.

“ e big goal for me is to be able to sell out of all my ski wear so I can make more. I would love to have a retail shop,” she said. “I do pop-ups all over Colorado, and I’ve started to do some in in Utah and California.”

She dreams of having a unique retail shop so people can enter and immerse themselves in the Hoohah world. Tedstrom said she would love to eventually be able to ship worldwide.

“It’s de nitely a long road ahead, but before we get there, little by little, I’m trying to grow slowly and intentionally right now; I’m bootstrapping this business, and I don’t have any investors,” Tedstrom said.

How did Tedstrom come up with the Hoohah name?

“I was skiing with my sister-in-law, and I had to pee while we were riding on the chairlift so she said, ‘You’re going have to go in the woods and get your Hoohah cold,’ and I laughed. I thought I needed to reclaim this name,” Tedstrom said.

Ring makers, jewelry crafters have classes, supplies available

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Learning a new hobby can be overwhelming, but many businesses around metro Denver make it fun and easy to dive into the world of metalsmithing.

Metalsmithing is an art form where creators can learn to shape silver, gold, copper or other metals into unique pieces of jewelry.

e trade requires an assortment of tools and stones, and local business Stryker Studio provides classes

where people can select a treasured stone and transform it into a beloved piece of jewelry.

Stryker Studio: A beginner’s first step Owned and operated by 21-yearold Lydia Stryker, the studio just opened at the beginning of February.

“As soon as you walk through the door, we’ll kind of show you our menu and show you the di erent options of things you can make,” Stryker said.

She said customers can then select

what type of jewelry piece they want to make, including rings, pendants, bolo ties or bracelets.

“After that, you come to our gem table where you get to pick out one of the gems,” Stryker said. “I always tell everyone that’s the most di cult part of the entire journey, is picking what type of stone you want to use as the center stone for your entire creation.”

Once people select their gems, then Stryker and her colleagues will walk everyone through what details will make their pieces custom and

then help them construct the piece.  “We’ll show you the di erent bezel options, band and any details. We o er a bunch of things that will just make your creations 100% your own,” she said. “From there, we jump right into creating.”

Stryker said rings are the most popular pieces made in her classes.  e creation process of a ring includes wrapping the stone with bezel wire, soldering the wire closed, soldering the wire on to the back

Lydia Stryker owner of Stryker Studio sits in her studio which she just opened at the beginning of February.

The petition requests that the name of

CRAFTING

plate, ling and grinding excess metal, sizing the band, shaping the band, soldering the bezel to the band, polishing the piece and nally setting the stone.

Stryker said the instructors will help with all of these steps until people have “jewelry made for every adventure.”

“You get to make it from start to nish and watch your own creation come to life,” Stryker said.

Stryker began silversmithing in an after-school program and fell in love with it.

She didn’t pursue it right away as she was heading to college, but she began creating permanent jewelry pieces in school.

“I always felt entrepreneurial in spirit, so I did that for about two years,” Stryker said. “At that point I was searching for what I wanted to do next, and the introduction back into jewelry was huge.”

On a family trip to ailand, Stryker said she stumbled upon a silversmithing workshop, which would become the inspiration for her business model.

“It kind of opened up this whole world of using jewelry as entertainment and providing an experience,” Stryker said.

Stryker Studio o ers daily classes and Stryker said since opening on Feb. 6, her business has been booked pretty solid.

“We’re already growing more than

I could’ve ever imagined,” Stryker said.

Stryker is excited and proud of what she’s made, from the literal creations to the sta she’s put together.

Stryker there aren’t a lot of studios like hers in Denver but there are other places in Colorado with a similar business model.

“I like that with having other types of this business model, so many people are getting exposed to silversmithing because it’s such a unique and fun art form,” Stryker said.

Going forward, Stryker said she hopes to expand and open other locations.

“I think in general in the world, people are looking for more ways to express and ways to get out of the house, and I think it’s a concept that can expand in a lot of di erent directions that I would love to explore in the future,” Stryker said.   e studio is located at 1513 Boulder St. in Denver.
