Clear Creek County wants local input for Alvarado Open Space Park

The open space has been a county assist since 2019; now the county wants to know what the community wants to get out of it

Alvarado Open Space Park in Georgetown is made up of several at trails, a mirror pond, trees and log cabins. e county wants to know what locals would like to see improved and how to keep it useful.

e 4,800 acres of land at 1259 Alvarado Road was purchased from private landowners by Clear Creek in 2015 and opened to the public as Alvarado Open Space in 2019, according to county records.

For more than a year, community planning division director Amy Saxton said the county has asked for input on how to improve the unique space. In the past walking, birdwatching, photography, picnicking and dog walking were some of the most popular responses.

“ e community wanted and needed a space that was designed as a recreational space for the community that was not a space for tourists, and we really feel like this space … (it) is a perfect spot for that,” Saxton said.

More than a dozen people showed up at the open space during a chilly morning Oct. 17 to learn what the possibilities could be.

Weather Observations for Georgetown, Colorado

Each day at about 8 a.m. a local National Weather Service volunteer observer makes temperature and precipitation observations at the Georgetown Weather Station and wind observations at Georgetown Lake. “Max” and “Min” temperatures are from an NWS digital “Maximum/Minimum Temperature System.” “Mean daily” temperature is the calculated average of the max and min. “Total Precipitation” is inches of rainfall plus melted snow. “Snowfall” is inches of snow that accumulated. T = Trace of precipitation or snowfall. NR = Not Reported. “Peak wind gust at Georgetown Lake” is the velocity and the time of the maximum wind gust that occurred during the 24 hours preceding the observation time. Historic data are based on the period of record for which statistical data have been compiled (about 55 years within the period 1893-2023). Any weather records noted are based on a comparison of the observed value with the historical data set.

THK is a design team retained by the county to help with mapping, planning and design work with the goal of an eventual master plan for the space, according to county planners.

e “on-site eld day,” according to landscape designer and ecologist with THK Taryn Farber said, is “to share and

learn from the community how they want to see Alvarado Open Space be improved and cater to the needs of the people that will share it more appropriately.”

A county forum has been set up online to continue the conversation. Find it at forum.clearcreekcounty.us/public-eyeon-alvarado-open-space-park-what-doyou-see-what-do-you-want.

“We lack recreational spaces that are not super steep that are not for more advanced use or higher levels of physical tness,” Saxton said during the event. “ is is a space that is level and accessible and accessibility is going to be one of the key things that we’re going to try and add to this space with the master plan.”

Cooperative Living Presents an Attractive Alternative for Downsizing Seniors

The first time I heard about Village Cooperatives was a few years ago when I listed the Lakewood home of an elderly couple who had a deposit on an apartment at Village Cooperative Lakewood, near Wadsworth and Jewell, which was then under construction. They ended up canceling their reservation, so I didn’t think more of it, including in March 2020 when Rita and I sold our Golden home and moved into a 55+ rental called Avenida. If I had looked into Village Cooperatives, I think Rita and I might have made a different decision.

pro-rated to the portion of the year, so it wouldn’t actually be 9% unless you bought after exactly 3 years.

There are between 50 and 70 apartments in each of the cooperatives. All but this one are 3 stories with a garage in the basement. There are a few 1-bedroom units, but most are 2 bedrooms, and some of those also have a den. They range from under 900 to over 1,700 square feet, and there are over 20 floor plans. During the tour, I got to see all three types.

Two weeks ago, I got an invitation to visit the Village Cooperative building in Centennial from a reader who had moved there from Avenida the same year we moved in. I attended a 2-hour talk and tour of the facility last week, and learned enough to consider getting on a waiting list for a 2-bedroom unit with a den.

Ten of the 45 Village Cooperatives built so far are in Colorado. Five of the 10 are in the Denver metro area, stretching from Longmont to Centennial, and the only ones that aren’t sold out are in the Columbine area of Littleton and in Longmont. All the others have waiting lists. The company that builds them is based in Minnesota.

The details and numbers I’ll quote below are for the Centennial location, but the other locations are probably comparable.

Buying into a cooperative is not at all like buying a condo. You are buying a share in the ownership of the building. The price of the share is set originally and appreciates by 3% per year, without compounding. For example, in the Centennial cooperative, the original prices ranged from about $160,000 to $240,000 when it opened three years ago. If you could purchase a share which had an original price of $200,000, you’d pay $218,000 (3% increase x 3 years). The 3% per year is

Real estate agents play no role in the purchase. You pay a refundable $500 deposit to get on the waiting list, and you will be notified when shares become available. You can pass on any unit that becomes available and not lose your place on the list.

The monthly fees — it’s not considered “rent” — are about $2,000 per month and consist of four components: your pro-rated share of the monthly payment on the building’s 40-year construction mortgage; your share of the property tax on the building, and a management fee, including your share of the building’s contract with Comcast for internet access, cable TV and a landline. The fourth component is contribution to reserves. Gas and electric are individually metered.

The cooperative is managed by a board of directors consisting of your fellow shareholders. Members also are encouraged to join committees focused on finance, maintenance, and social activities.

One parking spot in the secure basement garage is assigned to each unit. There is a high-pressure car wash bay with vacuum, too.

Amenities include a fitness center, a library, storage rooms, a meeting/game room, and two hotel-style guest rooms that residents can reserve for $50/night.

I was impressed by the sizes of the rooms in each of the apartments. In our current apartment, the master bedroom is

Just Listed: 5-Bedroom Brick Ranch in Wheat Ridge

10’ by 11’ — barely big enough for our king-size bed and one dresser. The master bedrooms in the cooperative’s units are more like 12’x15’, and the smallest guest bedrooms are bigger than the master bedroom in our Golden apartment.

A member can sell their share at any time and get back their investment plus the 3% per annum appreciation paid by the replacement member, minus deduction for repairs, etc. Members can pay for upgrades such as better appliances, countertops, backsplashes, fixtures, flooring, etc. and expect an additional direct payment for those upgrades by the buyer, as negotiated between buyer and seller.

A gas forced-air furnace is in a locked closet accessed from each unit’s balcony. Central hot water is included in the monthly fees.

You can’t finance your purchase with a mortgage, because it’s not real estate. It’s a cash purchase, and you have to demonstrate that you can afford the monthly fees. If you are planning to sell your current home when your wait for a unit is up, one strategy is to borrow the $200,000

via a home equity line of credit (HELOC) that is paid off when your home sells.

The purchase price and the monthly fees for a cooperative are roughly half what a comparable condo purchase and dues would be, making the decision an easy one if you have the liquid funds to buy the share.

Village Cooperative only began in 2011 and has grown impressively. You can learn more and see its many locations at www.VillageCooperative.com. In the posting of this article on my blog, http://RealEstateToday.substack.com, I have links to a few YouTube videos I recorded during my tour.

Some Buyers Pay ‘Admin Fees’

A couple weeks ago I wrote that almost no buyers are paying a commission to their agents, despite the recent NAR settlement. Sellers are still paying buyer agents’ commissions. However, many brokerages have a long-standing practice of charging a 3figure “administrative fee” to buyers — usually around $300. Golden Real Estate does not charge buyers such a fee.

Water Cremation: Going Green in the End

$750,000

The seller has owned and loved this brick ranch at 7085 W. 32nd Place for 43 years! The basement, with two doors to the backyard, includes a large wet bar for entertaining plus a sound-proofed musical studio which could be a bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The home has 500-amp electrical service, with 240-volt outlets in the detached garage/ workshop. There are four separate sheds in the backyard. Well water is used for irrigation. The asphalt driveway was recently seal coated. There’s a fenced dog run and pre-wiring for a hot tub. You’ve got to see this home to believe it! Visit www.WheatRidgeHome.info to see lots of interior and exterior photos and to take a narrated video tour. Kathy Jonke will be holding it open this Saturday from 11 to 1, or call her at 303-990-7428 to request a private showing.

I don’t recall how I learned about it, but last week Rita and I visited an open house at Be A Tree, a company which offers water cremation as a green alternative to conventional flame cremation. Conventional flame cremation uses natural gas. Water cremation is what it sounds like. Also known as alkaline hydrolysis, it uses a mixture of 95% water and potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide to dissolve fats and tissues in a body, reducing it to components of liquid and bone. The process takes place over 18 hours in a pressure vessel heated to around 200°F.

The bones are then ground into a powder referred to as ashes, although no flame was used. For an extra fee, those ashes can be molded into white stones which can be shared among loved ones.

The 150 gallons of nutrient rich water generated by the process, called Tree Tea, can be used as fertilizer, hence the

name of the company, Be A Tree. Rita and I had always thought that cremation was the best way to go when we die, but we had done no pre-planning and this approach is much more appealing to us, so we have now pre-planned for water cremation with Be A Tree. If this concept appeals to you, learn more at www.BeATreeCremation.com or call 720-782-2782.

Also during halftime, Clear Creek Sheri Matt Harris took to the 50-yard-line, surrounded by some of his top command sta members and school administrators, carrying a large paper check made out to the high school.

In August, the sheri ’s department held its annual C3 Fest, where members bring equipment and personnel from Clear Creek Fire Authority, Evergreen Fire, the Clear Creek County Sheri ’s o ce, local police and Flight for Life to the ball elds in Idaho Springs.

e sheri said the event was a success again this year, but there was something dif-

ferent about it. is year’s C3 was also a fundraiser, which raised $8,100.

“We had heard there are some budget cuts in the school district, and there were some kids that wanted to participate in sports, (and) kids that wanted to take AP classes, but the fees to take the tests are expensive, so this money is for the kids,” Harris said.

en it was time for the presentation of the 2024 Homecoming royalty. e eld was overrun with princes and princesses, their parents and dozens of single yellow roses.

e top honors went to Senior King Ocean Caplan-Holdgrafer and Senior Queen Chloe Manion, who were accompanied by their parents.

Following a brief show by the Clear Creek cheer team, the game resumed with the Golddiggers ultimately beating the Lions 4614.

Most people attending said the idea of homecoming is really about one word: community.

“A lot of people drive through this county and they don’t realize that everybody who lives here; we work together, our kids grow up together and really support each other in a small community,” Holdgrafter said, “ ere’s a lot bigger down the hill and bigger on the other side of the tunnel; we’re knit together right here.”

Harris said, community is what his evolving department is trying to embrace.

“ e awesome thing is there are two leaders in our command sta , Captain Seth Marquardt and Undersheri Matt Brown, who work in this community and went to this high school. So, their heart is in it. ey want to give back to the community where they grew up.” Harris said.

Are unchecked opinions in Colorado’s local TABOR books misleading voters?

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As voters sit down to ll out their ballots, they often refer to their local TABOR book, commonly known as the “gray book,” for more information about local ballot initiatives. Whether it’s a school bond measure, like in Douglas and Arapahoe counties, or an elimination of a TABOR limit in Je erson County, the gray book provides voters with information to decide whether to vote for or against a proposal. However, many may not realize that the public comments included in these guides are not fact-checked, according to the Colorado Legislative Council’s TABOR Blue Book guidelines. ese guidelines note that arguments for and against ballot measures are submitted by proponents and opponents and are not veri ed for accuracy.

According to reporting by Colorado Community Media two years ago, misinformation in Douglas County’s booklet regarding the school district had its administrators up in arms. e district’s Superintendent, Erin Kane, spoke out against comments opposing the district’s mill levy override and bond measures, calling them “untrue” and “misrepresentative.”

is year, a statement opposing proposition 1A in Je erson County claims a “yes” vote would eliminate the property tax cap from TABOR.

However, a “yes” vote would allow the county to keep its share of property tax funds “without increasing any tax rate or mill levy rate,” according to the ballot language. e mill levy rate, which varies by coun-

Local guidebooks explicitly state that comments aren’t veriﬁed.

ty, determines the amount taxpayers owe in property taxes.

According to state law, any registered voter within a local jurisdiction can submit comments for or against a ballot issue. However, the government entity is not responsible for fact-checking or verifying the accuracy of the submitted comments.

Local guidebooks explicitly state that comments aren’t veri ed, but readers may skip over this information as they ip to the issues.

“We include an explanation in the pack-

et that my o ce isn’t able to warrant the accuracy or truth of the contents of the notices, but we do provide the contact information for the designated election o cial,” said Je erson County Clerk and Recorder Amanda Gonzalez. “ is allows voters to reach out if they need more information about the content in their city, county or district booklet.”

Gonzalez said it’s important to remember that the TABOR book is one of many good resources for learning more about what’s on your ballot.

Voters can also look to county election websites, local news reporting or nonpartisan organizations like the League of Women Voters, which produces voter guides without endorsements or political bias.

In a time of heightened awareness of misinformation in our elections, sorting fact from opinion may seem more important than ever. State law makes it clear that the responsibility for evaluating the accuracy of the information ultimately falls on the voters themselves.

The perfect imperfection of a 5-year-old’s playroom

In today’s world of fastidiousness and perfectionism, it’s easy to get swept up in the idea that every space, even a child’s playroom, should be pristine, everything in its place, every toy neatly stored. For many of us, there’s a sense of satisfaction in organization, a belief that tidy spaces promote tidy minds. But there’s a delicate balance to strike, especially regarding the space of a 5-year-old. Children are naturally chaotic in the best possible way, their creativity and curiosity spilling into their surroundings. As adults, we must ask ourselves: Should their playroom re ect the organized world we strive for, or should it be a canvas for their boundless imagination?

Michael Norton

My grandson’s playroom, which we share as part of our “ofce,” is a perfect example of this tension between order and the joy of childhood. Just the other day, as I walked through his side of the room to get to my desk, I noticed a few Hot Wheels cars scattered across the oor. His room wasn’t a mess, not by any stretch, but those minor signs of play, those tiny cars on the ground, warmed my heart. It reminded me of my childhood, the rooms I used to play in, and the way toys seemed to be a part of my world, rather than something to be stored away when I was done.

My daughter came down shortly after, concerned by the stray toys, and tried to clean them up quickly. I stopped her. “Leave it,” I said. ere was something so comforting, so genuine about those scattered toys. ey re ected his world, his creativity in action, and his freedom to just be a child. e room wasn’t chaotic; it was alive with the essence of a 5-year-old’s spirit.

Of course, we want to instill good habits in children from a young age. We want them to learn the value of cleanliness and to understand that everything has a place. But as I stood in that playroom, looking at the handful of cars and blocks, I realized there is a di erence between fostering good habits and enforcing perfectionism. Kids, especially at the tender age of ve, are just learning about the world around them. eir play is their work, their toys are their tools, and their spaces are an extension of their minds. By expecting rigid tidiness, we risk sti ing that creativity. ere’s a certain magic in a 5-year-old’s playroom. It’s not meant to be a showroom but a space where they can dream, build, and imagine. Sure, they must learn to pick up after themselves, but that doesn’t mean their room must be perfect every moment. Sometimes, those scattered toys tell the story of an adventure in progress, one that will continue when school is over when the day winds down, and when they return to their world of make-believe.

DFF47 is bigger and more inviting than ever

With all the streaming options available to modern audiences, it’s easy to think that you can just watch whatever you want at any time and have the same experience as you would at the theater. But that’s just not the case, and in fact, that’s one of the things that makes events like the annual Denver Film Festival so important.

actress and director Joan Chen, screenwriter Virgil Williams, screenwriter and director Malcolm Washington, actors Gabriel LaBelle and Cory Michael Smith, and Academy Award-winner Andrew Wyatt. Add in the opening and closing night parties, as well as numerous lmmaker conversations, and there’s so much to be a part of.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

As I sit at my desk, writing this, I can still see those few cars spread out on the oor, waiting for my grandson to return from kindergarten. I know that later, when my workday is done, I’ll lie down on that oor with him, and together, we’ll push those cars around, maybe build a city with his blocks or race the cars along some imaginary track. If you can even call it that, the mess will be

“ ere’s a special sauce to a lm festival. You’re not just going to the theater and seeing a lm. You’re part of a communal experience,” said Matthew Campbell, Denver Film artistic director. “You have the opportunity to talk to lmmakers and audience members, and there are few other forums like that anymore. Audience members can go a step beyond having a passive experience and really sink their teeth into the artform.”

e 47th annual Denver Film Festival will be held from Friday, Nov. 1 through Sunday, Nov. 10 at several venues across the metro area, like the Sie FilmCenter, Denver Botanic Gardens and the MCA Denver at the Holiday eater.

e festival kicks o on Nov. 1 with “ e Piano Lesson,” an adaptation of an August Wilson play produced by Denzel Washington, featuring Samuel L. Jackson and John David Washington. And it closes with on Nov. 9 with “September 5,” a lm that centers on the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attacks.

As usual, there will be screenings of lms in all kinds of genres from all over the world, including some major award contenders like “Nickel Boys,”“Emilia Perez,”“Blitz” and “ e Brutalist.” And lm fans can explore all manner of movies, including shorts, animation, and themes like Social Issues/Activism, Asian Diaspora and Colorado Spotlight.

“I think one of the best ways to start for people who have never participated in the festival is to pick a theme that interests you and check out some of those movies,” Campbell said. “I always encourage people to be adventurous, and pick some random lms that they know nothing about and see if they like them.”

Some notable Colorado-based lms that are part of this year’s festival include “Lovers,” which is largely set in the Hi-Dive on South Broadway, and “Half-Life of Memory,” a lm about Rocky Flats. ere will be special post- lm discussions following screenings of this lm, including former Rocky Flatts employees and members of groups like Rocky Flats Downwinders.

Another special aspect of lm festivals are the featured guests and events. is year’s festival features legendary

“ e festival is a great opportunity to be taken out of your normal existence and put in a di erent reality for a while,” Campbell said. “ ere’s no better way to be put in another person’s shoes and also learn about a subject you don’t know anything about.

Denver-area costume shops foster community of creativity

BY ELISABETH SLAY

Acolorful array of Denver-area costume shops intertwines creativity and camaraderie, with each shop revealing its own distinct charm. From elaborate corsetry to an immersive haunted house and engaging games and puzzles, these shops go beyond competition and collaborate to foster a community centered on self-expression and oneof-a-kind experiences.

The Wizard’s Chest: ‘An experience’ Kevin Pohle, co-owner of the Wizard’s Chest in Denver, describes his shop as “an experience.”

Pohle said the store at 451 Broadway, which is decked out from top to bottom with magical trinkets, towering skeletons

and quirky long-bearded wizards, is always changing and has something for everyone.

“It’s not supposed to be a retail store,” Pohle said. “It’s supposed to be a place to come and hang out and see cool things and pick up cool things and then feel the need to take something home that you didn’t know you needed until you saw it.”

For 20 years, Pohle and his partners David Boyce and Brad Brickley have owned and operated Wizard’s Chest, which originally opened in 1983.

Wizard’s Chest is divided into two oors. e rst oor contains costumes, accessories, decorations and more, while the bottom oor provides a plethora of puzzles and games for people of all ages.

Over the years, Pohle said, the store has leaned into providing clothing that people can wear in their regular wardrobe.

“So it’s not just a costume, it’s a piece

that has more than one use,” Pohle said. “It’s a piece that’s versatile.”

When comparing Wizard’s Chest to other local shops, Pohle said his store has its own unique aspects, as do others in the community.

“ e thing about costume stores in Denver is we’re all cooperatively competitive,” Pohle said. “We don’t really compete with each other. We try to send people to each other. Disguises in Lakewood does rentals, which we don’t do. Reinke Brokers in Littleton does a haunted house, which we don’t do.”

It’s their di erences that allow the shops to work together.

“So there’s no need for us to ght with each other,” Pohle said. “We keep it as a local community.”

Crimson Rose Masquerade: ‘Out of a fairytale’

Also on Broadway in Denver is Crimson Rose Masquerade, a “high-end costume boutique that treats dressing up as an expression of self-love,” said owner Kitty Krell.

e frocks that her clientele chooses to express themselves look as though they’ve “stepped out of a fairytale” and include Renaissance dresses, pirate coats and more.

“It’s alternative chic, Ren faire chic … it’s for anyone who ever felt like they didn’t quite t in,” Krell said.

Also among the garments in the shop at 1456 S. Broadway are Krell’s own creations, including intricate corsets for many occasions. She began her craft at the age of 15 after needing a corset for her costume during her rst job at a Renaissance festival.

“So I went, ‘How hard can it be to make one?’” Krell said. “I had just recently started sewing, and I think because I didn’t know what I was trying to do was impossible, I did it, and since then, I’ve continued to make corsets.” Krell said she also makes corsets for those with certain medical needs after starting to wear them for herself about eight years ago, to address a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

“It’s great for scoliosis, for EhlersDanlos, for anxiety, because it can act as a human thunder jacket,” Krell said.

“I do a lot of work with people who have very physical jobs and are constantly lifting and messing up their backs.”

For Krell, one of the best aspects of her job is knowing that her pieces are making people happy.

“It’s one of my favorite feelings to know that I contributed something that makes someone’s quality of life better,” Krell said.

Krell said she enjoys being a part of the costume shop community in Denver because of its collaborative nature.

“It’s a bunch of weirdos who found this world, or found each other in this world that doesn’t really want us to,” Krell said. “Denver is especially great for that because Denver is very live-andlet-live.”

Reinke Brothers Store: A haunted house

From aliens greeting people at the door to skeletons serenading customers, Reinke Brothers Store sells experiences, said Greg Reinke, who co-owns the store with his brother Chris Reinke.

Located at 5663 S. Prince St. in Littleton, Reinke Brothers contains a long and immersive haunted house lled with di erent scenes and animatronics concocted by Greg Reinke and his sta .

Originally, Reinke said his haunted houses — which he and his brother began when they were young — were gory and quite scary for children, but as time went on, he realized that wasn’t the best way to intrigue them.

“People that get the living tar scared out of them when they’re little don’t enjoy my particular venue when they get older,” Reinke said. “So I said, ‘How can we correct this?’ And that’s when we stopped doing chainsaws and knives and blood and guts and torsos ripped in half and we made it more of an entertainment haunted house.”

e Reinke Brothers Store now o ers tours of the house with the lights on for children and others who have a hard time going through the attraction when it’s in full swing.

Along with the haunted house, Reinke’s shop is also jam-packed with wigs, masks, makeup, props, decorations and anything else one might need to create the perfect costume or their own spooky experiences.

While he has a plethora of items, Reinke said his shop also takes part in the camaraderie of similar establishments in the Denver area.

“If we’re out of something, I’ll call over at (Disguises), or I’ll call over at Wizard’s Chest and ask that, and then I send my customers there,” Reinke said. “And I think the customers appreciate that also. ese are local guys. So we protect each other.”

Going forward, Reinke hopes to continue making people happy with costumes and haunted houses for as long as possible.

“I plan to be dead back there someday, just draped over a gravestone or a prop or something,” the 65-yearold said. “A lot of people want to retire to enjoy the end or whatever. What would I retire to? I’d make monsters for a living and most people retire to do what I’m doing.”

For more information on the shop visit reinkebrothers.com.

Disguises: ‘Three to four businesses under one roof’ Disguises in Lakewood is another costume shop in the area that o ers a multitude of costume options, including makeup, wigs and more.

“We also have the other side of our retail store, which is our Et Cetera boutique,” co-owner Todd Belanger said. “ is has formal wear, retro dresses, Renaissance dresses, stockings, sexy wear, corsets, shoes, goth clothing, steampunk, clothing, festival and rave wear. Many people in the community shop for everyday clothing here all year.”

Belanger said his store at 10500 W. Colfax Ave. in Lakewood also has one of the largest stocks of rental clothes in the nation.

Belanger owns the store with his wife, Michelle Belanger.

“ e store was started by another individual in the mid-’90s and it was successful and grew out of its original location and moved into a larger location,” Belanger said. “I actually was a nurse by training and so is my wife and we began buying small rental houses, but after owning a few of those, I quickly realized that I wanted to replace my income as a nurse.”

Belanger and his wife were able to purchase their business, which they love.

“We currently have over 200 active vendors that we purchase products from represented in the store. It does make the store very unique and it makes shopping here like a treasure hunt because you’re never quite sure what you’re going to nd,” Belanger said.

Belanger describes the “caddie shack community” in Denver as unique and varied and explained it’s important to have shops such as Disguises because they’re establishments that make “the world a richer and less boring place.”

Going forward, Belanger said he hopes people will continue to visit Disguises throughout the year.

Compare hospital costs for speciﬁc procedures, insurance plans

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

If you have a medical procedure on the horizon in Colorado, there’s a new way to shop around for the best price.

Gov. Jared Polis on Tuesday announced a new website —ColoradoHospitalPrices.com— where people can look up various procedures performed at a hospital and see a list of prices based on insurance carrier. e tool, then, potentially allows people with upcoming medical care to shop around and see which hospitals available in their insurance network can o er the lowest price.

At a news conference, Polis said he hopes the website is the rst step in an effort to apply market pressure to hospitals to reduce their prices. With health insurance premium prices set to rise for many next year, lowering what patients — and insurers — pay for health care is vital to reducing overall health care spending

“One of the key failings of the market is the lack of pricing transparency that doesn’t allow for the competition to work as it does in any normal market, to bring down costs,” he said.

e website was launched in partnership with the national organization PatientRightsAdvocate.org. Colorado’s website is the rst of what the organization hopes will be a nationwide network of price transparency tools for patients. e new website also adds to the list of local tools in Colorado that give patients the ability to search for hospital prices based on their insurance carrier — that last part is crucial because the prices that di erent insurers pay at the same hospital for the same procedure can vary widely, while not all hospitals will be covered under a speci c insurance plan.

for-care tool. Unlike the other two websites, the CIVHC tool allows users to see quality and patient-experience scores for particular hospitals.

Just last month, the state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing launched its price-lookup site, which relies on the same data as the website announced Tuesday but o ers a di erent search experience. e data comes from prices that hospitals are required to report under state and federal law. Polis said the connection to a national network of price-transparency sites made it worthwhile to launch a second website.

“ e more ways to make it easier for people to access that information, the better,” he said.

e Center for Improving Value in Health Care, a nonpro t that administers a state database for insurance claims information in Colorado, also has a shop-

But all of these tools — as well as various other e orts to get hospitals to reveal their prices — come with challenges that may limit their value to consumers.

Hospital prices are not a basic menu. ere are thousands of billing codes for various procedures, and some procedures could be billed under di erent codes, depending on the hospital’s operating standards. For instance, there are over 70 di erent billing codes for an X-ray, depending on the body part being scanned and the number of views needed.

Insurance companies, too, o er multiple plans, which may have di erent negotiated prices. So it’s not enough to know your carrier — you have to know the speci c plan name, too.

And, on top of that, di erent hospitals

may use di erent names for things. As a portion of an instructional video Polis showed Tuesday explaining how to use the new website put it: “Remember the descriptions may be di erent as you shop across hospitals, because descriptions vary according to the hospital. Now look for your payer from the list. Payer names can also vary according to the hospital.”

Even more confusing, the prices presented for a speci c procedure may not be the “all-in” cost. In other words, there may be other charges for scans, anesthesia, medications and services not included in the procedure price.

Depending on the hospital and how they sta their doctors, patients may also receive a separate bill for physician charges that are not included in the hospital’s posted procedure price.

Polis acknowledged the complexities but said it’s important to start somewhere in making health care prices more

transparent.

“It starts with saying, ‘Hey, why is my lung X-ray $600 at this hospital and $1,500 at this other hospital? e plan I have is paying twice as much as another plan,’” Polis said. “ at’s the kind of pressure we need to bring down rates.”

Polis said insurance companies may also use the sites to see what their competitors are being charged and then use that as leverage in future negotiations with hospitals.

Cynthia Fisher, the founder of PatientRightsAdvocate.org, echoed Polis, saying the website is a rst step toward “the great reveal of the absurdity of price variation that’s going on across Colorado and across the country.”

“No one should have this level of price variation,” she said. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

How does Colorado keep noncitizens and dead people from voting?

Protections involve everything from the DMV database to what’s known as the ‘death list’

BY CAITLYN KIM CPR NEWS

As the election draws nearer, Coloradans have a lot of questions around voting — about how the process works, and also, what protections are there to ensure ineligible people aren’t casting ballots.

It’s a perennial concern in every election, but one that has heated up this year, that somehow large numbers of non-citizens — and the dead — will manage to cast ballots.

Weld County Clerk and Recorder Carly Koppes has been elding versions of these fears since she rst started working in the o ce in 2004. e Republican, who was rst elected Clerk in 2014, is on her 6th presidential cycle.

“ is isn’t the rst presidential election that we’ve got a lot of voters asking, ‘what about the illegals?’” she said.

Despite no widespread evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election, an NPR poll shows that a majority of Americans are concerned that there will be fraud this time around, in large part due to former President Donald Trump’s false statements. A majority of respondents in that survey said they believe noncitizens will be able to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

A number of audits, investigations and studies con rmed the results of the 2020 election, which President Joe Biden won. e checks to ensure only eligible voters end up on the voter rolls start with the rst question asked of anyone registering to vote in Colorado.

“On the form it says, ‘Are you a citizen of the United State? Yes or No?” Koppes said, pointing to a printed copy of Colorado’s o cial voter registration form. Next to the question, the document says, “if you answered No, do not complete this form.”

“So, it’s a self-a rmation. We are hoping that you are answering that question correctly,” Koppes explained. But “when we start registering you to vote in the voter registration system, we do verify and check.”

In other words: trust, but verify.

Clerks and the Secretary of State’s ofce rely on a long list of databases to ensure their voter lists are clean, something even the right wing Heritage Foundation agrees Colorado does a good job on; it ranked the state third in the nation for accuracy of voter registration lists. When it comes to preventing noncitizens in particular from voting, the veri cation process starts with two other pieces of information on that form – your drivers’ license number or, if you don’t have that, the last four of your Social Security number.

By double-checking those, “we will be able to know if it is a valid U.S. citizenissued Colorado ID or driver’s license or Social Security number,” Koppes said. While Colorado is a state that allows non-citizens, including people without legal status, to get a driver’s license, there are guard rails in place for them.

“ ere’s a nice big old black bar that’s actually put onto those issued IDs that clearly states this is not used for federal identi cation or voting purposes,”

she explained. “Because they’re already agged within the Department of Revenue system, if they do try to get used as a voter registration, when we hit that system, it’s going to go ‘nope’ and (that) stops it right there.”

Koppes said with all these di erent checks and veri cations, it’s exceedingly rare for a non-citizen to get onto a voter list. And if a non-citizen does actually manage to vote, the consequences can be severe: a ne, jail time and deportation.

“I’ve known people and I’ve grown up with some people who have not been U.S. citizens and the last thing that they want to do is put that ability to eventually become a U.S. citizen in jeopardy,” Koppes said.

It might not sound sexy, but voter list maintenance is a big part of the job of clerks and the Secretary of State’s o ce. e databases they turn to don’t just allow o cials to check for noncitizens and keep track of deaths, there are many, many more that help clerks, such as ensuring people aren’t voting in two locations and spotting when people move out of state. is work does not just happen in the months leading up to an election, but year-round.

“We update our voter lists daily using information about driver’s license and address updates from the Colorado Department of Revenue. And (we get) incarceration updates from the Colorado

Department of Corrections,” explained Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold (Colorado bans people from voting while they’re serving a felony sentence). e state also gets federal information from the SAVE database to see if someone previously issued a non-citizen driver’s license has obtained their citizenship and is now eligible to vote.

As for dead people voting, Griswold quipped, “a dead person is dead.”

“But in all seriousness,” she went on, “we get information when Coloradans pass away from two spots… the Department of Public Health and Environment and also the Social Security Administration.”

Clerk Koppes said the Social Security list is aptly named the Death List.

“When I worked in the elections department every day doing data entry, I would always make the joke, I see dead people,” she said, citing the lm “ e Sixth Sense.”

And like the movie, the issue of dead people voting comes with a bit of a twist: some of the ballots counted on Election Day may legitimately belong to people who’ve died.

“Under Colorado law, if a voter casts a ballot during the early voting period and then passes away before Election Day, that vote will count,” explained Koppes.

Here again there is a veri cation process — in this case, with the signature on the ballot envelope.

Every voter has to sign the envelope

when they return their ballot and if you’ve been voting in Colorado for a while, your clerk’s o ce has all those signatures on le.

“It is extremely rare that somebody is going to be – even a family member – is going to able to duplicate your signature,” Koppes said. “Because even if you sat down right now and did your signature ve times in a row, you’re going to notice there’s ve di erent little nuances every single time.”

Elections judges have extensive training on signature veri cation. And here’s the thing, they’ve caught people who tried to cast another person’s ballot.

“We actually, in the 2016 election, did catch an ex-husband trying to vote his ex-wife’s ballot,” Koppes recalled.

In that case, the o ender, a former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, was sentenced to four years of probation.

Even if you don’t trust traditional media, election o cials urge you not to take your questions to Google or social media. Both Koppes and Griswold had the same advice: call your county clerk’s o ce. “We’re the ones that do this and know and understand the responsibility that we have. It’s a huge responsibility,” said Koppes.

One they take extremely seriously. is article comes courtesy of the Colorado News Collaborative and the statewide project, “Voter Voices,” which Colorado Community Media is a part of.

A sign in a room at the Je erson County elections facility says, “Due to building codes and safety concerns, the maximum number of observers allowed in Signature Veriﬁcation at any one time is 4.”

Strides with strollers: How active parents keep up the mileage

Stroller ﬁtness activities provide outlet for community, family bonding

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Active people don’t stop being active when they become parents; they just become more innovative and e cient.

Whether to keep the step count up, nd a sense of community or not miss a beat while training for health goals, new and experienced parents are strapping the kids in the stroller and hitting the trails.

It’s no secret nding a babysitter can be challenging, but moms and dads grow to rely on the bonding time their new sidecar brings; not just with their kid copilots, but with other parents, too.

Bonding through training

“We have a 3-year-old and a 1-yearold, and over the summer, upgraded and got a double-wide stroller to t both kids in,” said Dan Petty in Littleton. “It’s been great. I’m training for the New York City Marathon right now, and my kids have been companions for much of this summer while I’ve been training up for that.”

Petty’s daily treks often take him and his kids on runs beyond 10 miles.

ere are no iPads or screen time. Instead, the kids bring a few toys and snacks and enjoy the landscape while they speed down the Mary Carter Greenway Trail, one of Petty’s favorites. Just north of Chateld Reservoir along the South Platte River, it provides paved and gravel paths (large enough for double-wide strollers) for runners and walkers.

While the kids enjoy a near rst-class riding experience, Dad gets his training in and Mom gets a well-deserved break.

“It’s great because when I take them out for an hour or two hours, or sometimes longer, it gives my wife a break to read or work out, herself,” Petty said. “It’s one of these things where I get exercise, the kids get fresh air, we have some time together and my wife gets a real break from two kids, which is a lot.”

e NYC Marathon on Nov. 2 will be Petty’s second. He was a competitive runner in high school and college but took some time away from the sport. After some friends got back into it a few years ago, Petty did too, not letting his fatherhood get in his way.

In fact, his kids help push him harder. at, and the altitude. Petty has lived in Colorado for 15 years and said training here before running a marathon at sea level certainly helps. ough he’ll drop the stroller weight on race day, Petty knows his kids will be cheering him on. Petty is looking to raise money for the Asian American Journalists Association. To support him in the New York City Marathon, consider donating at www.aaja. org/the-futures-fund/.

Memories through the miles

Another parent in Arvada sets her eyes on a lofty goal, and her daughter is a key piece to the puzzle.

Cassandra Porter is an assistant cross country and track coach for Arvada West High School. As a lifetime runner, she competed in high school for the Early College of Arvada until 2016 before becoming a Roadrunner at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

After becoming a mom and a coach in 2021, Porter continued running, bringing her daughter to Arvada West prac-

rado actually broke the record, and she got it down to 5:24,” Porter said. “And so I called my coach and we talked about it and applied for the Guinness record. It takes about three months to get approved for it. So, once we got the approval back, we were going to run it last fall of 2023. But I just had a couple of hiccups in my training. I had an injury and then a medical issue. So we pushed it back until I was t again.”

is past April, Kaitlin Donner from Viera, Florida, broke the record again, bringing the number down to ve minutes, 11.46 seconds.

“I was like, ‘Oh, I’m going to have to train a little bit harder for this now.’” Porter said. “So now I think we are ready. I just think it’d be cool to run it with my daughter and also have my athletes watch and hopefully inspire them. at’s a big motivation for it.”

Porter’s been running with her daughter since she was three months old. She’s now almost 3 and has accompanied Porter on more than 50 runs, whether they’re longer distance runs, sprints or tempo runs.

“She loves it,” she said. “My athletes love it when she comes to practice and runs with us. We put a speaker in the stroller

and we play music, and she gets to ride along and just eat her snacks. It’s the best.”

She doesn’t have an exact date for the record but Porter knows it’s something she wants to tackle soon. It’s been on her mind for a while now. Whether she breaks it or not, the time with her daughter has been invaluable and irreplaceable.

“It would be a huge deal. I’m so goalbased,” Porter said. “ is has just been a

goal for a year and I want to check it o the list, hopefully. I’m a really nervous racer so I’m hoping that this will kind of be a breakthrough with racing. I usually am really good with training, but racing is a little bit more nerve-wracking for me. So I think racing with my daughter will kind of calm my nerves. I think it’ll just be

Colorado Railroad Museum’s new exhibit highlights women’s contributions to the railroad industry

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just as the railroads built the nation as we know it today, so too did the nation build the railroads.

People from all walks of life helped plan, construct and operate the railroads from the early days of locomotives until now.

Although not every job was historically available to every person due to discrimination or other factors, the Colorado Railroad Museum is working to ensure the Mexican-American traqueros, the Black railroad workers and other communities are remembered.

Earlier this month, the Golden-area museum opened “Hidden from History: A Century of Women in Railroading,” highlighting women’s work in and for the railroad industry from the 1870s to the 1970s. e exhibit, which is in the sublevel of the main depot/ ticket o ce building, will be open through August 2025.

Assistant curator Jasmine Robertson said she got the idea from a book she saw in the museum’s gift shop, “Iron Women: e Ladies Who Helped Build the Railroad” by Chris Enss.

Robertson started researching the topic in January, saying it was a challenging topic to study. Women faced prejudice throughout their history working for the railroad and were often limited in what jobs they could work depending on the era and location, she and Executive Director Paul Hammond said.

Telegraphers were among the rst industry jobs that were open to women, Robertson explained. Many women who worked as telegraphers operated remote stations essentially based in their homes, and had to multitask alongside their responsibilities as wives and mothers.

During the World Wars, Robertson said, more jobs became available to women as millions of men left to serve in the military. However, once they returned, the women were expected to give up their jobs even if they didn’t want to, she continued.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the railroad industry’s hiring practices were challenged and women’s right to work any job they were quali ed for was upheld. After the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act was passed in 1976, more women became locomotive engineers and conductors, Robertson described.

Among them was Edwina Justus, the rst Black woman engineer, who worked for Union Paci c in Nebraska.

Justus is among the women specically highlighted in the exhibit, along with Coloradans like Dr. Susan Anderson and Laura Brakamp.

Anderson graduated from medical school in 1897 and was one of the rst women to practice medicine in Colorado.

Nicknamed “Doc Susie,” she treated railroad workers in Fraser. She was made Grand County Coroner around the time the Mo at Tunnel was be-

Women of steel

ing bored, and her duties included attending to the tunnel workers who were killed or injured in accidents.

Brakamp, a purchasing department employee who was based out of Rio Grande Railroad’s Denver o ce, designed the company’s iconic monogram in 1939-40. She initially submitted it as a design for headrest covers, but it won a companywide design contest and was used on all Rio Grande train cars, stationery and more.

Overall, Robertson and Hammond wanted museum visitors to know the exhibit highlights the facts while showcasing “how far we’ve come, but there’s still room to grow.”

While the exhibit only covers women’s work in the railroad industry through the 1970s, Robertson said she’s contemplated doing a follow-up exhibit that details their work over the last 50 years.

She and Hammond said the museum’s trying to expand its physical collection to facilitate more exhibits like this.

As Robertson was building the “Hidden from History” exhibit, someone coincidentally decided to donate his grandma’s collection of telegraph equipment. Robertson said it was pure luck, but she was grateful to be able to add that equipment to the exhibit and the museum’s general collection.

As the museum prepares to host its popular Polar Express train rides Nov. 8-Dec. 23, Robertson and Hammond hoped all its upcoming visitors would also stop by the exhibit to learn about the women who helped make the railroads possible.

something super special between me and her.”

Community in parenthood

For others, becoming a parent could open a door to a more communal and active lifestyle.

Stephanie Holzhauer is the owner of Fit4Mom Castle Rock. Before moving to Colorado a couple of years ago, she got exposed to the program after becoming a mom herself in San Diego.

She started as a member, and after several Fit4Moms experiences across several cities, decided she had to get more involved.

“I immediately fell in love with community tness and just having support from other moms, being a rst-time mom myself,” Holzhauer said. “Just in that community, having that support and then being able to work out with my kid … one of the biggest reasons I joined is as a social person, too. I love to work out outside, and as a mom, I never wanted to put my child in daycare at a gym. It was like a win-win because I was able to work out, I was able to make friends, and I didn’t put my child in childcare.”

Fit4Mom o ers several di erent classes for mothers, including a speci ed prenatal workout for expecting moms, mom-only sessions like body wellness and body boost classes, and the most popular: stroller strides.

As its name suggests, this workout is a full-body strength, cardio and core

training class all while engaging their kids in the stroller. And the kids get a lot of the classes as well, she said. Instructors will sing songs to the kids and engage them in physical and active learning exercises.

“I absolutely love it when I have a mom send me little videos of their kids at home, doing lunges with their stroller or singing songs and kind of playing stroller strides,” Holzhauer said. “My girls are now (older), but when they were little, they would play stroller strides all the time … And to this day, they love what I do, and I love to come to classes, and they love tness and the incredible example that moms are setting for their kids just being outside and being active.”

ere’s also a run club, which includes an eight-week guided training program for moms interested in running a 5K or

half-marathon, with or without their stroller stragglers.

When she rst got involved working for Fit4Mom, Holzhauer said she gured she could teach a few classes with no problem, but she never expected how much it would give back to her.

“It has been incredibly rewarding,” she said. “You know, when you have someone that shows up and she joins and she’s like, ‘I didn’t know how much I needed this. I was at home, I was alone.’ Or maybe they were struggling with postpartum depression, and they’ll all of a sudden come to class and realize they’re not the only one that’s dealing with this or that. So just seeing the friendships develop within our community and the support that they all have for one another … it’s incredibly rewarding.”

Cassandra Porter (far right) poses with her brother, Dallas Porter, and her daughter, Nabela, after a recent run in the area. Porter brings Nabela with her on most of her runs and says the time together doing something active is special.

Moms in Fit4Mom Castle Rock programs do a slew of workouts involving their little ones in their strollers. Owner Stephanie Holzhauer said not only do the moms get solid workouts in, but the kids stay engaged with songs and other active learning forms.

Morrison’s Cafe Prague closes

Golden resident Matt Tedeschi tucked into his last plate of Café Prague sauerbraten Oct. 13 with a mix of satisfaction and sorrow. Tedeschi didn’t know it would be his last meal at the Morrison restaurant until he walked in that night and learned it was closing. He’s among several regulars shocked and saddened by the 20-year restaurant’s unexpected ending.

“It’s a tough loss,” said Tedeschi, who became an immediate fan after discovering the restaurant a few years ago. “I came 12 times in the rst month. I just went down the menu and each entree was excellent. I bring friends in here all the time, they ask what’s good and I say, ‘Literally everything.’ Nothing can replace this.”

Every table and seat at Café Prague was full the evening of Oct. 13, with some waiting outside in the chilly fall air for a late table and a last chance to dine there. e upscale restaurant, which several of Sunday’s patrons described as not only the best in Morrison but for many miles around, served Czech food created by Czechoslovakian-trained chef Ales Zabilansky. It was reputed not only for its hearty comfort foods but cozy ambience.

Restaurant owner Dennis Cionetti declined to comment on Café Prague’s closing, but two patrons said the decision stemmed from a rent increase. Building owner Je Bradley said the lease expired and Cionetti did not want to renew.

“I hate to see it go,” said Ed Kautz, who lives in unincorporated Morrison and dined at Café Prague weekly. “We like ne dining and we don’t want to go too

far. I like the food, the atmosphere, the sta , everything. When the kids came to visit, we’d have a big dinner in the back here. I’m not sure what we’re going to do

to replace it.”

Bartender Logan Brayer poured wine and shook cocktails at a fast pace, but it wasn’t enough to distract him from the

reality of the restaurant’s closure. Brayer, a Green Mountain High School graduate, started at the restaurant as a 16-year-old busboy and worked his way up to bartending. He doesn’t think he’ll nd the same experience working at any other restaurant.

“I feel melancholy,” he said, as closing time approached. “It’s such an awesome place. e clientele is unmatched. I have genuine friendships in the people I’ve met here.”

Adam Starr, a resident of the nearby Solterra neighborhood, said Café Prague was also his go-to choice for dining out.

“Embarrassingly, we’ve come at least once a week for the last seven years,” he said. “We’d put this place up against any restaurant in Denver. I’m really disappointed we won’t get to spend another Christmas season here. We’re very sad to see such a good restaurant go.”

Bradley, who also owns the now-vacant, former Morrison Carworks building and the vacant building that once housed the town’s old post o ce, said he, too, is disappointed by Café Prague’s closing.

“It’s been a nice run; they’ve done a nice job for 20 years,” he said. “We’re trying to get another high-quality restaurant in there.”

Cafe Prague opened in Georgetown in 1999, moving to Morrison in 2004. Original proprietor Tomas Stribal sold it to his childhood friend and Prague native Cionetti in 2016.

e 1876 stone structure that housed the restaurant was once owned by Morrison pioneer and Bradley’s great-grandfather John Ross. Bradley and his family undertook a two-year reconstruction of the building in 2001.

Kroger’s CEO claims to not think about raising prices

Prosecution case to block grocery merger rests, Kroger starts its defense

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

Testifying this week in Colorado’s antitrust trial to block the $24.6 billion supermarket megamerger, Kroger Co.’s CEO Rodney McMullen stuck to his statement made to a local newspaper last year that yes, he’s never thought about how to raise prices.

During the trial in Denver District Court, he shared simple responses to questions asked by Jason Slothouber, a senior prosecutor at the Colorado Attorney General’s o ce. No, he wasn’t familiar with a Kroger division that studied pricing and found they could raise prices at stores with little competition without losing shoppers. No, he wasn’t familiar with a group of eight City Markets put into a “mountain no comp zone,” where prices were raised. No, he didn’t know this zone was a big part of the state’s antitrust case.

“Kroger has invested in lowering prices for the last 15 years,” he said. “Strategically every year, we would make decisions on continuing to lower relative pricing.”

“In areas where there is competition?” Slothouber asked.

“Across the country,” McMullen responded.

“Well, not in the mountain no comp zones, right?” Slothouber asked.

“I don’t know,” McMullen said.

McMullen, who had been sequestered during the trial, had not been privy to earlier testimony in the Colorado vs. Kroger et al, in its third week with closing arguments scheduled for Oct. 24. But so far, lawyers for the Attorney General’s o ce have laid out their case for the potential harm a merger between Kroger and Albertsons could cause to residents, employees, local suppliers and farmers if it results in store closures. A merger might create “no comp” stores, in addition to those now located in Aspen, Breckenridge, Carbondale, Eagle, El Jebel, Glenwood Springs, Granby and New Castle. e prosecution rested on Oct. 14. But throughout the rst part of the trial, grocery executives did have a lot to say about competition as they were questioned. ey said their prime competition was Walmart, Costco and Amazon and less so with one another. And those competitors are everywhere, including in some of those eight communities. e merger creates a national chain with stores in 48 states and ability to use Kroger’s moneysaving technology and strategies chainwide. Kroger, the parent of King Soopers and City Market, also would invest $1 billion to lower prices at the acquired Alb-

ertsons stores, which includes $40 million in Colorado.

Meanwhile, the comparatively tiny competitor C&S Wholesale Grocer would buy 579 Albertsons stores, including 91 Albertsons and Safeways in Colorado, for $2.9 billion. C&S, which has about two dozen supermarkets and a national distribution network, has no plans to close any stores. It’s o ering jobs to current Albertsons employees, including Chief Operations O cer Susan Morris, a Colorado State University graduate who got a job at an Albertsons in Littleton at age 16. Morris, who would leave Albertsons with an exit package valued at $30 million, agreed to become CEO of C&S’ new retail arm if the merger is completed.

CEO doesn’t make short-term price decisions

McMullen, who worked at Kroger while in college and became Kroger’s CEO in 2014, was the rst witness to share the grocery stores’ side of the merger. When it was the defense team’s turn again, Mc-

Mullen elaborated on what he meant by never thinking about raising prices.

He said he reads “every book on retail,” and learned companies that are most successful are those that lower prices over time. Companies newer to the grocery business or expanding to new markets — including Walmart, Amazon and fastgrowing Illinois-based grocer Aldi — start with lower prices. So, he thinks about the long term. He thinks about lowering prices — not raising them. e day-to-day ups and downs of prices? at doesn’t concern him. at would be the concern of Stuart Aitken, Kroger’s chief marketing o cer, testi ed later that day.

McMullen acknowledged that supermarket prices have increased for customers. at’s not the store’s doing, but in ation, credit card fees and the consumer packaged goods companies that produce the goods who are raising the prices they charge to Kroger.

“SometimesCPGswill do cost increases that we don’t think is justi ed and it’s the reason why our brands are so important,”

McMullen said. If Kroger wasn’t actively trying to lower prices, he said prices at King Soopers and City Market would be closer to Albertsons and Safeway, which are 10% to 12% higher. And Kroger stores are about 3% more expensive than Walmart stores.

But he said he didn’t contradict himself by saying he never thinks about raising prices. He was talking about the basket of goods over time. His goal is to lower the overall cost to shoppers.

“We believe when you look over a 10year horizon, if we try to raise prices or raised relative pricing, we would belike A&Pas opposed to being successful, like an Amazon or a Costco or a Walmart,” McMullen said.

A&P is one of America’s original grocery stores, founded in New York just before the Civil War. It led bankruptcy for the last timein 2015, sold o a number of locationsto Albertsonsand other grocery companies, as well as shut down stores.

Aitken on the afternoon of Oct. 14 testi ed that Kroger has no stores without competition. Even areas identi ed in Kroger’s no-comp mountain zone, other options exist, like a Costco in Eagle, a Natural Grocers in Glenwood Springs and a Whole Foods a half-mile from the City Market in El Jebel. Prices were raised in those areas to o set higher labor and transportation costs, he said.

“We’re a low, low margin business and those additional transportation costs, even housing costs — we have 66 units in the mountains for associate apartments so they can a ord to stay up there — those costs are costs we’re looking to recoup,” Aitken said.

Overall prices in those communities are 1.8% higher than other Kroger

stores not in the zone while Safeways are 9% more expensive than the low-comp zoned City Markets, he said.

Kroger’s formula: Cost cutting, personalized shopping, alternative proﬁts Kroger has gured out how to make more money without raising prices. McMullen said they do that by lowering costs. He said Kroger has reduced energy usage by 30% per square foot by doing things like using equipment in stores that generate heat to help heat stores in the winter, or purchasing bags from one place instead of multiple locations. ere are also the value-added products, like selling guacamole instead of just avocados and all the ingredients.

“Obviously, the customer is willing to pay more for that,” McMullen said.

Aitken talked about Kroger’s growing e-commerce business, which includes partnering with Instacart to provide grocery delivery to customers. Almost 30%

of its $13 billion e-commerce business is handled by Instacart, or $4 billion.

But there’s something else that the company began investing heavily in within the past decade: alternative pro t businesses. at includes gift cards, credit cards and targeted advertising, which have “signi cantly higher” margins than the regular grocery business, McMullen said. Its Kroger Precision marketing business essentially sells access to customers, much like Google and Meta do.

In its most recent annual report, Kroger said 95% of customer transactions were part of its loyalty program. at data feeds its system to create personalized shopping experiences, which includes selling ads to consumer-product companies like Coca-Cola. McMullen conrmed that Kroger doesn’t sell a customer’s personal data to advertisers. But if a customer tends to buy Coke products, they’ll see ads for new products from

Coke — not Pepsi.

Yael Cosset, Kroger’s chief information o cer, testi ed Oct. 15 that the alternative businesses bring in $1 billion in annual pro t today. In its most recent quarter, which ended Aug. 17, Kroger reported $33.9 billion, which was the same as the year-ago second quarter. Operating pro t improved to $815 million from a loss of $479 million a year earlier.

“All these pillars are a signi cant source of revenue. ey’re in excess of a billion dollars in pro t as we stand today,” Cosset said. “ ey contribute to funding investment … to lower prices and be more relevant on the value side of the experience and invest in wages for our associates who ultimately are responsible for delivering that customer experience.”

is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.
