Edgar Mine opens to the public for ‘Friends and Family’ day in Idaho Springs

Instead of producing gold, the 150-year-old mine now acts as a one-of-a-kind research and educational facility

e Edgar Mine recently opened the massive steel doors to its main mine shaft to the public as part of its “Friends and Family” days.

Concern over Idaho Springs’ main water line prompts city to bow out of deal with apartment development

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e city of Idaho Springs is shifting its nancial gears from investing in the Four Points Fieldhouse apartment development on the former Golddigger football eld to replacing the city’s main water line after nding out that replacing the water line would be a $10 million endeavor. e main water line that supplies all of Idaho Springs with water needs to be replaced, according to the Clear Creek County Public Works department. e line runs approximately three miles from the city water treatment plant to the north down Highway 103, parallel to Chicago Creek and into Idaho Spring, according to Public Works.

“ e line itself is critical because that’s all the water for the city of Idaho Springs,” Public Works Director Paul Crain said.

e existing water line is only about 40 years old, but it’s made of iron, and the wet, acidic soil existing along the path eroded it at about half of its anticipated life span, Crain said. “It sits in the water table and we have salts and minerals that are dissolved in that water that are exacerbating corrosion on that line,” Crain said. “Electrolysis is what’s happening; so it’s stealing ions from the iron, causing the iron to corrode.” e problem was that the original installation of the line lacked Cathodic protection, according to Crain.

By de nition, Cathodic protection is a technique that prevents corrosion on metal surfaces by making them cathodes in an electrochemical cell.

Typically, a main city water line is expected to last a city at least 100 years, but this one has lasted less than half of that, according to Idaho Springs Mayor Chuck Harmon.

A chilly breeze was consistent as the air was being sucked into the shaft from the main entrance and throughout the mine without any real ventilation system in place.

Although the mine shafts along the tour were well-lit by strings of lights hanging from the rock ceilings, other shafts, without lights, slowly faded into total blackness. Some of those man-made shafts go on for more than ve miles underground, Tsukada said.

Steel and iron bars were sitting alongside the sledgehammers originally used to pound them into the rock by hand to create circular holes where dynamite was placed. One man held the rod in place while the other hit it repeatedly with the heavy hammer. Tsukada said that trusting your partner is very important.

Old pneumatic drills were set in place on display as though they were still piercing into mountain rock.

Elsewhere in the mine, massive, mobile and modern drilling machines were parked and waiting for the next time they’re started as operators continue to bore into the mountain creating up to an eight-foot wide tunnel with one drill.

Many of the underground drilling machines are worth millions of dollars and were donated to Mines by other active

Weather Observations for Georgetown, Colorado

Week of October 21, 2024

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.

private, for-pro t mines in the area including the Henderson Mine in Empire, according to Tsukada.

A large underground working classroom with about 20 wooden desks had several glass cases lled with historic tools, gas masks, helmet torches and other crude safety equipment of the time.

A large dry-erase board at the front of the class where students had a lesson or exercise a week ago was illustrated in a language only an engineer would understand.

Other smaller speci c education research facilities are literally carved out of the mountain and lled with electronic testing equipment, boring machines and computers, including one speci cally for petroleum engineering exploring the properties of core samples taken directly from the rock.

Another team is currently studying shock wave propagation using a 250,000volt capacitor and a piece of tungsten to create a blast wave which is lmed at ve million frames per second, according to

Mine Superintendent Clint Dattel. e Edgar also serves as a training facility providing unique natural features, enclosement, tight spaces and potential for total darkness that lends itself to a wide variety of training opportunities for agencies across the country, Dattel said.

e U.S. Army, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, various re ghting agencies, law enforcement and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation are among a few of the departments that use the Edgar for hands-on training found nowhere else, Dattel said.

Military or law enforcement training can include breaching tactics, live re exercises and use of tactical explosives, according to Tsukada.

We Need to Take Seriously the Pollutants Emitted When Cooking With Gas

Two years ago last week, one of the headlines in my column was, “Evidence Mounts That Gas Stoves Are Harmful to Health.” It cited an article the previous week in the journal Environmental Science and Technology which quoted a study reporting that 12 hazardous pollutants, including benzene, a carcinogen, were detected in the emissions of gas ranges. That study was of 159 homes in 19 California counties.

Last week, The Guardian, a British periodical, published an article with a more damning headline: “Pollutants from gas stoves kill 40,000 Europeans each year, report finds.”

that, “New peer-reviewed research from RMI, the University of Sydney, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, which I co-authored with two epidemiologistsandacolleague,estimated that nearly 13 percent of childhood asthma cases in the United States can be linked to having a gas stove in the home.

According to that article, “The researchers attributed 36,031 early deaths each year to gas cookers in the EU, and a further 3,928 in the UK. They say their estimates are conservative because they only considered the health effects of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and not other gases such as carbon monoxide and benzene.”

Now, that’s a wake-up call!

I did a web search for “dangers of gas stove emissions” and found that multiple other studies had been conducted from late 2022 through to now reaching similar conclusions but without that large a database of impacted human beings.

On Sept. 7, 2022, Harvard Health reported that, “Gas stoves affect air quality inside and outside your home, circulating pollutants that raise risk for asthma and other illnesses.”

On Jan. 19, 2023, Scientific American wrote that, “Scientists have long known that gas stoves emit pollutants that irritate human airways and can cause or exacerbate respiratory problems.”

On Feb. 15, 2023, Brady Seals of the Rocky Mountain Institute announced

On April 7, 2023, Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health reported, “A recent study suggests that gas stoves contribute to about 13 percent of childhood asthma cases in the U.S. equivalent to the risk of developing asthma due to exposure to secondhand smoke. NO2 can cause respiratory problems, particularly for those with asthma or other respiratory illnesses, and long-term exposure to NO2 from gas stoves has also been linked to an increased risk of developing heart disease.”

On June 21, 2023, Yale Climate Connections reported that, “Cooking with gas emits dangerous levels of benzene, a carcinogen, into household air.”

On May 3, 2024, Stanford University reported that, “A study of air pollution in U.S. homes reveals how much gasand propane stoves increase exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant linked to childhood asthma.”

This appears to be a problem that disproportionately affects low-income populations for a couple reasons. First, they are more likely to have gas ranges, especially in cities where natural gas is ubiquitous. Second, the problem is exacerbated in smaller kitchens, allowing the emissions to be less dispersed.

Obviously, a large-scale switch from gas ranges to induction or electric ranges is not practical or affordable, especially for low-income populations, but health

experts have some advice on what to do in the meantime. First of all, ventilate your kitchen when using a gas stove. If you have a vent fan above your range, use it, but only if it vents to the outside. Many vent fans, such as those built into over-the-stove microwave ovens, merely filter the air of particles, blowing it back into the kitchen. To see if your vent fan ventilates to the outside, open the cabinet above it, so see if there’s a flue.

A good short-term solution, if you have $50-100 to spend, would be to purchase a plug-in induction cooktop, as Rita and I have done. Search for “induction burners” and you’ll find many starting as low as $49.99. Because induction is so efficient, most induction burners plug into a standard countertop kitchen outlet.

NOTE: Induction burners only work with ferrous pots and pans, such as cast iron, enameled cast iron and certain stainless steel pots and pans. If a magnet sticks to the pan, it can be used on an induction burner.

Rita and I like to buy live lobsters from

Seafood Landing in northwest Denver and boil them, but it takes forever to heat a pot of water large enough to submerge four 1½-lb. lobsters, so next time we’re going to use our induction burner, because it will heat that much water in less than half the time. (I look forward to timing it!) That’s the thing about induction cooking it’s faster and uses less electricity than a standard electric burner.

NAR’s Clear Cooperation Policy Under Attack

“Clear Cooperation” is a policy introduced by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in November 2019 to reduce the use of “pocket listings” by brokers who don’t want to share their high commissions with a buyer’s agent.

Let’s say that a broker lists a home for 6%, to use a round number. (The average has long been between 5% and 5.5%.) The listing contract had a place to designate the percentage of that 6% which the listing broker would share with the broker who produced the buyer. For a $1,000,000 listing, that would be, for example, $30,000 commission to each agent.

You can understand why the listing agent would want to promote that listing off the MLS and hopefully keep the full $60,000. Most Realtors, like myself, would consider that unethical on the face of it but also believe it’s not in the seller’s best interest. The seller wants as many buyers as possible to know about his or her listing so that he/she sells for the highest price.

From a greedy listing broker’s perspec-

tive, getting 6% of $1,000,000 is a whole lot better than only 3% of a higher price.

Enter the Clear Cooperation policy, which pissed off a lot of brokers, including those who aren’t members of NAR, because all MLSs were ordered to enforce it.

CCP, as the policy is called, requires that a listing be entered on the MLS within one business day of it being publicized in any way, whether it be a sign in the ground, a Facebook post, mass email or whatever. And it could only be “Coming Soon” as long as no showings were granted, including by the listing agent, and for a max of 7 days.

The attacks on CCP, mostly by large brokerages, have surged recently, but Zillow’s Susan Daimler, like myself, defends the policyasbeingintheconsumer’s best interest. In fact, she wants to see the policy strengthened by eliminating the “office exclusive” loophole. That loophole discriminates against small brokerages and independent brokers by allowing big brokerages to display MLS listings only to agents within the brokerage. That loophole should be abolished.

It’s not often that you can buy a duplex where one side is empty and the other side is rented and contributing $1,500 per month to your mortgage costs! That’s the situation with this well-built and wellmaintained brick duplex at 12613 W. 8th Ave. in that quiet subdivision next to Welchester Tree Grant Park called Foothills View Estate. The two sides of this duplex are mirror images of each other and identical in terms of updating, such as the newer bath fixtures, double doors. (The two one-car garages are accessed from an alley.) The vacant half is the one with a 12’x23’ wood deck, from which you can see the foothills to the west. Welchester Park is just a block away, with lots of trails, including to the adjoining Welchester Elementary School. A video tour of both sides of this duplex can be viewed at www.GRElistings.com, along with interior photos of the vacant unit. The rented unit is not available to see until you’re under contract, but it is identical in condition to the vacant unit. Showings begin next Thursday, Nov. 14th. Open Saturday, Nov. 16, 11 to 1.

Halloween Fun Run takes costumed creatures through Idaho Springs Cemetery

The annual Halloween 5K run and 1 mile walk through the cemetery brought dozens to Idaho Springs for fun

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ere were skeletons, witches, princesses and dogs of every kind in the Idaho Springs cemetery for the annual Halloween Fun Run.

Candy was handed out by the bag at the nish of the race organized by the Clear Creek Metropolitan Recreation District.

e race included a 5K or 1-mile loop through the Idaho Springs Cemetery and dozens showed up in costume for the event.

Most of the runners the Courant spoke with said they were from other communities in the metro area lik Arvada, Denver and Golden, and were up for the run Oct. 26.

Dressed as an alien, Stew Irwin and his wife, of Denver, ran with their 5-year-old son Wilder dressed as a witch.

“Idaho Springs seems like it has more of a community to it,” Irwin said.

So much so, in fact, that Irwin said the family is looking to move from Denver to Idaho Springs.

Tsukada casually told the group the U.S. Army promised to replace the steel door after it was blown o its hinges during a recent explosive exercise.

e CSM Department of Mining Engineering also uses the Edgar as a search and rescue training facility for use by those in the mining industry, re and rescue, avalanche teams and law enforcement.

A common training exercise would include using students as “victims” trapped or unconscious somewhere in the mine. “Now go nd them,” Tsukada said.

However, it’s not that easy when either the lights inside are turned o or an arti cial smoke machine, capable of creating 80,000 cubic feet of non-toxic smoke a minute, is used to ll the mine shaft with a thick white haze blinding and disorienting would-be rescuers, Tsukada said.

growing up, which is a solid local community and friends he’s going to have forever,” Irwin said.

Irwin said at Wilder’s age that sort of community starts to matter.

As the ghouls, witches, dinosaurs and skeletons made their way back to their cars, one child was heard asking, “Can we come back next year?”

Recently, the federal Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency used the mine for its Subterranean Challenge, where teams compete and prizes are awarded for advancing technology in the eld, according to Dattlel. e most recent challenge was in the eld of Arti cial Intelligence, and it drew at least 300 people to the Idaho Springs area for about three weeks.

“ ey would turn robots loose at each portal, never tell them anything, just turn them loose. ey (robots) would navigate the shafts while creating three-dimensional maps of the inside of the mine,” Dattlel said. “ en they would nd their own way back out and download the information all autonomously, no directions nothing, that’s it.”

Once outside the mine, Kevin Burke, his wife and two sons started to warm up again in the bright sunlight. Mines is a tradition with the Burke family.

Burke, his wife and their daughter are all graduates, and one of his sons is enrolled this year with the other planning to attend.

“It’s not just mining experience, a lot of different departments are doing a lot of di erent experiments in the mine,” Burke said he discovered during the tour.

Despite graduating with a degree from Mines in chemical engineering in 1993 and his family’s connection to the mining school, this was the rst time Burke said he’d ever been in a mine.

“ irty-some odd years later I nally got to go in a mine,” he said laughing.

According to Mines, students and sta conduct guided tours throughout the year which cover a half-mile of the underground mine shafts and the history that goes with it.

Community outreach is a large part of the mission at the Edgar Mine, according to Dattel, who can be reached for tour information at cdattel@mines.edu.

cording to city records.

“We were thinking it was going to come in between $4-5 million, instead the three responding bidders put the cost at approximately $10 million,” Harmon said.

e unexpected higher project cost means the city is changing direction with how it spends the remaining funds it received in 2021 from the federal government as part of the $350 billion federal America Rescue Plan, according to city planners.

e federal government created the ARP after state and local governments faced “unprecedented strain in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis,” according to federal resource information.

Idaho Springs still maintains at least $550,000 of ARP funds, but federal regulations restrict how the money can be used, Harmon said. Two federally approved uses for the funds include a ordable housing and infrastructure, such as the water line.

So, city planners decided to switch gears from investing in the Four Points Fieldhouse apartment project to replacing the water line.

e original plan, in conjunction with Clear Creek County, would have provided a total of $1.4 million in funding to Four Points in exchange for 50 deed-restricted apartments in the 120 units planned for the Fieldhouse complex.

e apartment complex is currently under construction on the site of the former Golddigger football eld on Miner Street in Idaho Springs with an expected completion date of mid-2026, according to project managers.

e deed-restricted apartments would have provided city and county employees with apartments at or below rents representing fair market value at the time of availability, according to city sta and developers originally interviewed by the Courant for an article published on May 2.

City planners said “fair market value” is determined by the comparable rental costs of similar units in the area at the time of availability.

“We are out of that deal,” Harmon said. “We felt there was no other option when we saw how pressing this (water line) is.”

Fieldhouse Project Manager Rob McKenzie recognized the loss of the city investment.

“It’s not ideal, but we’re working on moving forward,” McKenzie said. “It’s been a tough situation.”

However, Clear Creek County still maintains at least $600,000 of its federal

ARP funds and could potentially move forward with its portion of the deal for an unknown number of deed-restricted apartments in the complex, according to county manager Brian Bosshardt.

“We are currently reviewing the (Fieldhouse) development, its overall merits and value to the community as a whole,” Bosshardt said. “We must assess our participation in the development against the many competing needs and interests that exist within our organization and community overall.”

e extensive scope of replacing the water line means it will likely be completed in at least two or three phases, starting at the bottom where the line connects to smaller city supply lines, the most critical section of the project, according to Crain.

“ e bottom section is the worst, we’ve never had any issues with the upper two miles,” Crain said.

main could begin in the spring of 2025 when weather and ground conditions allow, according to Harmon.

In the meantime, should Idaho Springs residents be concerned about losing water altogether at some point?

“No, absolutely not,” Crain said. “I think we have well enough control over this, we know what and where our issues are and we’re taking steps to make corrections to that.”

Harmon agreed with the sentiment that residents should not be overly worried about losing their water supply,

“And I’ll tell you why, we have successfully done three repairs (on the water line) and it tends to be breaking in the same area between I-70 and the new Carlson. at is the section that we are replacing rst,” Harmon said.

Once complete, the new 16-inch PVC water main should serve the city for the next 100 years, according to Public Works. “ is is de nitely a priority project, but we’re not in any emergency mode,” Crain said.

The skills our students need to be successful

As the school year progresses in our community, classrooms buzz with activity, fostering a rich environment for learning. While core subjects such as reading, math, science and social studies remain central, the education landscape is evolving to encompass a broader spectrum of experiences. Students are actively participating in fall athletics, engaging in ne arts and taking part in various school and community initiatives that extend learning beyond traditional classroom walls.

ese experiences are more than mere extracurricular activities; they are crucial opportunities for authentic learning that cannot be replicated in a standard classroom setting. Such hands-on engagement equips students with vital skills necessary for navigating an increasingly complex world.

Today’s educational needs are markedly di erent from those of the past. Traditionally, schooling focused on rote memorization and low-level cognitive tasks.

IGUEST COLUMN

t was the summer of 2015 when the Animas River in southern Colorado turned such a garish orange-gold that it made national news.

e metallic color came from the Gold King Mine, near the town of Silverton in the San Juan Range. e abandoned mine had been plugged by an earthen and rock dam known as a bulkhead, behind which orange, highly acidic drainage water accumulated. But after a federal Environmental Protection Agency employee breached the plug during an unauthorized excavation, 3.5 million gallons of acid runo rushed downstream over three weeks.

e worker and the EPA came in for a slew of outrage and blame. Alarmed Tribal Nations and towns halted drinking water and irrigation operations; tourists ed the region during the height of tourist season.

But here’s the surprising opinion of Ty Churchwell, the mining coordinator for Trout Unlimited: “Looking back, this can be taken as a positive thing because of what happened afterward.” He sits on a community advisory group for the Bonita Peak Mining District, a Superfund site that contains the Gold King mine.

“We’ve got federal Superfund designation, and it’s the only tool at our disposal to x this problem,” he said. e “problem” is unregulated hard-rock mining that began 160 years ago.

“I know this isn’t conventional wisdom,” Churchwell said, “but no sh were killed in Durango (30 miles downstream) because of the spill. It was ugly and shocking, but a lot of that orange was rust, and the acidic water was diluted by the time it hit Durango and downstream.”

EPA’s website points out that over 5.4 million gallons of acid mine runo enters the Animas River daily.

e way Churchwell tells it, water quality and numbers of sh had been declining in the Upper Animas River since the early 2000s. at’s when the last mining operation ended and closed its water treatment plant.

Six months after the news-making spill

However, as automation and technology reshape our society, the skills required for success are rapidly changing. Routine tasks are now often performed by machines, highlighting the necessity for students to develop critical thinking, adaptability and problem-solving skills.

e assembly-line model of education, with rigid timetables and standardized curriculums, falls short in preparing students for contemporary challenges. Instead, schools must cultivate environments that promote active involvement, critical inquiry, and creative collaboration. Essential skills such as exibility, resilience, and accountability are now paramount for personal and professional success.

Recent insights from the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report re-

veal the “Top 10 Skills” that will de ne success in the coming years. ese skills — ranging from analytical thinking and complex problem-solving to creativity and technological pro ciency — underscore the importance of an education that transcends traditional methods.

1. Analytical thinking and innovation

2. Active learning and learning strategies

3. Complex problem-solving

4. Critical thinking and analysis

5. Creativity, originality, and initiative

6. Leadership and social in uence

7. Technology use, monitoring and control

8. Technology design and programming

9. Resilience, stress tolerance, and exibility

10. Reasoning, problem-solving, and ideation

Education today is not con ned to the classroom; it thrives in families, neighborhoods and society at large. Parents

and guardians play a critical role in fostering these skills. How can you encourage your children to develop resilience and critical thinking? What steps can you take to model these essential characteristics?

As a community, we share the responsibility of nurturing the next generation. Self-re ection is key—consider how your actions inspire those around you. By actively engaging in this process, we contribute to the collective growth of our society.

e Clear Creek School District RE-1 is committed to this transformative journey, adapting our educational practices to meet individual student needs. We recognize that the involvement of our communities is vital for the success of our students and the overall educational system. Together, we can prepare our children not just for their next test, but for a thriving future.

Acidic mine drainage haunts Western rivers

WRITERS ON THE RANGE

almost a decade ago, EPA geared up to make sure untreated mine waste would not head for the river again.

Reid Christopher, a 62-year-old former electrician and mountain guide, became the Gold King Mine’s restoration whiz, taking over an old wastewater treatment plant in the area in 2019.

Now, he said, only treated water leaves the 11,439-foot elevation mine.

is July, Christopher took me on a tour of the wastewater plant. In a nutshell, cleanup begins when the constantly owing wastewater gets shuttled into settling ponds.

Christopher then pumps hydrated lime into the water, boosting its pH to 9.25. e high pH unlocks the heavy metals from suspension, and an added occulant causes the heavy metals to clump together inside football eld-sized textile ltration bags.

Clear—surprisingly clean—water streams from the bags into Cement Creek, Christopher said, and the process is so e ective he said he’d like to treat the drainage from other major mineshafts in Bonita Peak.

Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency remains gun-shy about talking to the press. It was deluged with bad publicity following the 2015 blowout, though as Churchwell points out, “it wasn’t the EPA that mined the San Juan Mountains and left their mess behind.”

e messes from abandoned mines, at Gold King and around the entire West, have never received much attention from Congress. Until the Biden administration passed the In ation Reduction Act, the EPA depended on annual appropriations. at meant for almost four decades, the agency never got enough money to thoroughly clean up the heavy-metal mine waste owing out of hard rock mines like Gold King.

And because the mess was buried deep

in the mountains at elevations from 10,500 feet to over 12,500 feet, the agency couldn’t compete for federal dollars until it grabbed all the environmental disaster headlines of summer 2015.

Even now, said Churchill, and despite available funding, “ e EPA has 48 mineimpacted locations in the Upper Animas River and only so many dollars to work with. ey have to get the most bang for their buck.”

Commercial use of metals in the sludge might possibly make some money for the EPA. e Colorado School of Mines has taken water samples to see what—if any-

thing—can be retrieved from the mine waste.

But even if mine sludge is worthless, cleaning acidic water at the top of the watershed is worthwhile for every living thing downstream.

For now, Christopher is always looking to hire locals for dirt work and hauling. He said the jobs could last a lifetime.

Dave Marston is publisher of Writers on the Range, Writersontherange.org, the independent nonpro t dedicated to spurring lively debate about Western issues. He lives in Durango.

FRIENDLY LOCAL GAME STORES

3 board game cafes to check out around the Denver Metro Area

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an era where video games, social media and online chatting have come to the forefront of many gaming circles, a handful of local shops are providing board game enthusiasts with venues to experience a sense of community, new games, campaigns and eats.

For many in the tabletop gaming world, giving folks a place to come together is of the utmost importance. Jessica Willman, the owner of Do Gooder Games in ornton, said that in the modern age, that meeting space has become even more important than ever before.

“In this modern age of technology, it is easy to nd people who share similar interests with you, but they might be in a di erent city, state or even country,” Willman said. “I think it’s very easy to start feeling like you are in the wrong spot and start to feel very isolated. FLGS or Friendly Local Game Stores, are a place to remind you that is not true”

Willman notes that there is a game for everyone — quilt-making enthusiasts can connect around Patchwork, foodies can play Charcuterie, robotics lovers can duke it out in Battletech, basketball lovers in Crunch Time — and FLGS can serve as an important reminder that everyone’s favorite niche interest is also something to connect with others around. For many shopkeepers, creating an inclusive space is step one of owning a board game café.

Elysium Café and Games Owner Chris Martinez said that having a welcoming space for everyone is of

paramount importance, while still recognizing that speci c cafes can cater to speci c groups of gamers — Elysium has a large population of Dungeons and Dragons players, for example.

“Elysium is all about being a community center to all the nerds that have in the past been on the fringes as far as hobbyists go,” Martinez said. “For instance, we have a large group of Dungeons and Dragons players. We provide a welcoming way for folks to come and connect with other players that may have never met.

“Younger kids have a safe place to play as well,” Martinez continued. “It is common to hear someone ask, ‘What is your nerd?’ around here. Inclusivity is our meat and potatoes.”

Willman said that inclusivity extends to people from all walks of life.

“ e FLGS is a place to remind you that the thing you are passionate about is loved by millions, so much so that they made a game out of it; and the people who love it aren’t in some far-o land, they are in your neighborhood,” Willman said. “ ey are waiting at a table for you to come share all the random, zany and even seemingly mundane things that you are passionate about.

“ at’s the amazing thing about FLGS, your age, race, sex, religion, socio-economic state doesn’t matter at the gaming table,” Willman continued. “It’s just people wanting to have fun and play a game.

at’s why the motto of our store is ‘Gaming For All.’”

With that, here are three local board game cafes around the Denver Metro Area that are certainly worth checking out.

Elysium Café and Games — Lakewood

10800 W. Alameda Ave., Lakewood, CO 80226 | (720)519-0131 |elysium.games

Open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through ursday; 9 a.m. to 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday; 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday

What was the impetus behind starting a board game café?

Martinez: e original trio were friends that used to play games together. One was mostly an investor that already was running a successful business, one had years of experience with game shops and the community, and the last one had a ton of experience running kitchens and cafes.

What is the story behind the name of the café?

Martinez: e name came from one of the owners and his Greek background. After tossing around ideas the name stuck as it checked all the boxes for theme and menu that they were looking for.

What makes Elysium unique?

Martinez: We provide a large area to meet with friends. We have a cafe that provides food and drinks so everyone can connect and enjoy their games. We have an extensive rental game library in case someone wants to try something out before they buy. All that said, the most unique part of Elysium is what we bring to the community. It is a community center at its heart that caters to what most of us nerds have been missing, connection with other nerds. ere are other game stores that have larger inventories or even more hosted events. Elysium focuses on the community.

GAME STORES

What are your favorite parts of running a board game café?

Martinez: e community. I love chatting with everyone about what type of games they are into. My team and I have dabbled in most games and are experts in a large number.

Do you accept reservations?

Martinez: Yes! We do not charge for tables/space, per se. We o er open and closed events. Open events are open to the public and anyone can join. Closed events are like birthdays or special occasions for friends and family. If a third-party event organizer wants to use Elysium’s space for a paid event, we do charge a small fee from the organizer.

Thane’s Table — Arvada

7655 W. 88th Ave., Arvada, CO 80005 | (720)-3814200 |thanestable.com

Open 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through ursday; 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday; 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday; 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday

What is the story behind the name of the café?

Shop owner Abhi ane: “ ane” in Anglo-Saxon England was a title awarded by noblemen, giving someone ranking between a common free person and a hereditary noble.

Given that we also serve the Dungeons & Dragons community, ane’s Table was a catchy, be tting and

What makes ane’s Table unique?

noble ctional name for a town tavern where patrons can play games with their friends and loved ones, purchase local handmade crafts, and join community groups, with the tavern’s purpose being to provide a welcoming space for all its patrons.

ane: ane’s Table o ers two private gaming rooms with custom tables for dungeons and dragons or any tabletop gaming, with the ability to order food and drinks directly from the rooms. All our main area gaming tables are handmade as well and o er pull-out trays to hold food and beverages keeping the tabletop free for gaming.

What are your favorite parts of running a board game café?

ane: As we get close to celebrating our two-year anniversary, we can admit that starting a niche small business like a gaming restaurant has been a challenge overall. And all thanks to our amazing team, we continue to learn to operate e ciently.

Our favorite part is serving the gaming community that has been nothing but kind, patient and supportive in our journey this entire time.

Do you accept reservations?

ane: Yes, we o er online and in-person reservations.

Do Gooder Games Café — Thornton 16639 Washington St., ornton, CO 80023 | (720)432-4155 |dogoodergames.com

Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through ursday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday; Closed Monday

What was the impetus behind starting a board game café?

Willman: It was an idea that my partner and I had tried about 15 years ago, but decided to not go through with it. After COVID, we decided to actually make it happen.

What is the story behind the name of the café?

Willman: It actually was the idea of a friend of mine. We were throwing around ideas for names and he suggested that we use “Do Gooder.” We absolutely loved it, because not only is it a gaming reference, but it also really sums up what we wanted to do with our store.

What makes Do Gooder Games Café unique?

Willman: ere are a lot of great game stores around Denver, but it can be very intimidating to go into a new store and try to learn a new game, especially if you have two young children with you. I wanted to create a space where you could go and play any type of game, no matter if you are just learning or have been playing for years.

I also wanted to make a place where you could bring your whole family and have a good time.

What is the importance of serving food at Do Gooder Games Café?

Willman: As far as the cafe side goes, I have always loved doing full game days but frequently ran into the problem of what to do when it is time to eat. When playing at a store and you’re in the middle of a game, does someone have to leave to go get food for everyone, or does someone have to stay behind to watch the game and keep the table while everyone else goes and gets food.

Frequently I noticed that we would end up just ending the game so everyone could go get food. I wanted to have a space where it was possible to game all day and be able to get some actual food and drinks without having to leave.

BANDIMERE

But all those plans are on hold while Bandimere is in due diligence, the process of inspecting the property before closing. Bandimere said there is an issue with a wetland that he described as “fixable.”

Bandimere Speedway is a familyrun operation, and Bandimere said they’re excited about the potential

move and expansion.

“We really like Hudson and all the people up there,” Bandimere said.

“They’re very open to dealing with us and are very interested in what we do.”

If all goes smoothly, Bandimere hopes to have the new speedway at least partially open in 2025, with full operations by 2026. A partial opening

“would not make money,” he said.

“But that’s not the point,” he said.

“It’s about keeping this racing family together.”

Global auto company Copart plans

a vehicle auction center on most of the former speedway site at Morrison Road and C-470.

The town of Morrison agreed to annex the 125-acre site in August in a deal that includes the transfer of 16 acres to the town. That gives Morrison control over future retail or commercial development at its front door.

Copart and Bandimere agreed on that deal, Bandimere said, and shared the expense of giving Morrison the land.

“It was very important we got that

done,” Bandimere said. Bandimere Jr., who is 86, said his son John “Sporty” Bandimere, had been managing operations in Morrison and will do so at the new site. John Bandimere Sr. bought the 150acre property on Morrison Road in 1957 — decades before C470 was built — and opened the speedway a year later. Also known as Thunder Mountain, the dragstrip hosted 28,500 spectators at more than 130 events a year. Bandimere Speedway closed at the end of the 2023 season.

Clear Creek cross country teams enjoy decorated 2024 season

BY JOHN RENFROW

JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Head Coach Rebecca McCarthy has been at Clear Creek High School for six years and said this year may boast her best two cross country teams since she’s taken over. Six girls and six boys from the Golddiggers’ squads are heading to state on Nov. 2 in Colorado Springs after strong regional nishes.

e boys stamped their names into Clear Clear history, winning the Mile High League title for the rst time since 2011. It’s a big deal for a team that came into the season hungry for the goals they set for themselves, McCarthy said.

“ ey’ve worked hard to get where they’re going and to get where they are right now,” she said. “ ey wanted to be more than just another good cross country team that made it to state. ey wanted to put their name at the school. And they did that. ey put a banner up in the gym. ey got a forever trophy in the trophy case, so they had goals set at the begin-

ning of the season and at the end of last season, and they went out to accomplish them.”

e team nished third at regionals to head to state. A big reason for the team’s success is senior Ocean Caplan-Holdgrafer, who McCarthy calls one of the fastest Golddigger runners in recent history. He nished fth (out of 89 runners) in the 2A Region 2 5000-meter run with a time of 17:36.30.

“He’s our school’s fastest runner since (the early 1990s), and he’s within seconds of breaking the school record,” McCarthy said. “He’s one of the top-ranked runners in the state.”

e girls team is composed of young runners who will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years. ey came in fourth at regionals.

“ e girls are upset with the fourthplace nish because they’re young,” McCarthy said. “My girls team is young and fresh, so they’re just learning, and they are going to be a team to watch out for in the years to come.”

One of the key runners on the girls team is freshman Jordyn Nichols, who quali ed for state individually after a year of battling sickness. Nichols’ time of 22:54.70 earned a 14th-place nish (out of 53 runners) in

the 2A Region 2 5000-meter run.

McCarthy knows Nichols will be a pillar of the Golddigger’s success throughout her high school career and this is just the beginning.

“Our girls team has overcome so much, so many obstacles, that the fact that they made it to state is huge,” McCarthy said. “So next year, their goal is to now come back and not be fourth, but they want their name on a banner. ey want their name in the trophy case, so it’s it’s gonna be fun to watch them next year.”

People in the Colorado cross country scene are starting to take notice, too. Clear Creek — a team used to traveling all over the state for meets — hosted their own meet with hundreds of runners at the school earlier this season.

“We went from the no-name team to the team to watch out for, to the team that’s like, ‘Whoa. What are they doing?’” McCarthy said. “We hosted league last year at our school and that made other teams have to come run our course. It’s one of the toughest courses in the state, and word got out that we have this course. So now all of these schools are coming, seeking us out to run our course.” ough the boys team will lose CaplanHoldgrafer to graduation, the milestone

set in the 2024 season will remain in the school forever, hopefully as a catalyst for future teams to use as a oor for their goals.

“We’re just a bunch of goofy kids who love to go out and have fun. And they torture themselves, but they have been, you know, making goals, setting goals, and accomplishing them. ey’re so proud of themselves and are accomplishing things that people just kind of talk about and don’t really do anything to do it.”

A small cross country team can have a big impact across the state, McCarthy said.

As a former Golddigger runner herself, she knows the weight the team carries in high school athletics. It’s only going up from here also, she said.

“We’re putting our school back on the map of athletics, of teams to watch,” McCarthy continued. “It’s fun to watch it happen. It’s fun to watch the reaction that the kids get when these other big schools come up and talk to them. You know, it’s really neat to watch.”

Emails reveal weakness in bird ﬂu tracking

Surveillance for human cases is patchy and inconsistent

BY AMY MAXMEN KFF HEALTH NEWS

Bird u cases have more than doubled in the country since the beginning of October, but researchers can’t determine why the spike is happening because surveillance for human infections has been patchy for seven months.

In the last week of October, California reported its 15th infection in dairy workers and Washington state reported seven probable cases in poultry workers.

Hundreds of emails from state and local health departments, obtained in records requests from KFF Health News, help reveal why. Despite health o cials’ arduous e orts to track human infections, surveillance is marred by delays, inconsistencies, and blind spots.

Several documents re ect a breakdown in communication with a subset of farm owners who don’t want themselves or their employees monitored for signs of bird u.

For instance, a terse July 29 email from the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment in Colorado said, “Currently attempting to monitor 26 dairies. 9 have refused.”

e email tallied the people on farms in the state who were supposed to be monitored: “1250+ known workers plus an unknown amount exposed from dairies with whom we have not had contact or refused to provide information.”

Other emails hint that cases on dairy farms were missed. And an exchange between health o cials in Michigan suggested that people connected to dairy farms had spread the bird u virus to pet cats. But there hadn’t been enough testing to really know.

Researchers worldwide are increasingly concerned.

“I have been distressed and depressed by the lack of epidemiologic data and the lack of surveillance,” said Nicole Lurie, formerly the assistant secretary for preparedness and response in the Obama administration.

Bird u viruses have long been on the short list of pathogens with pandemic potential. Although they have been around for nearly three decades in birds, the unprecedented spread among U.S. dairy cattle this year is alarming: e viruses have evolved to thrive within mammals. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the emerging diseases unit at the World Health Organization, said, “We need to see more systemic, strategic testing of humans.”

Refusals and Delays

A key reason for spotty surveillance is that public health decisions largely lie with farm owners who have reported out-

rado said, “Currently attempting to monitor 26 dairies. 9 have refused.”

breaks among their cattle or poultry, according to emails, slide decks, and videos obtained by KFF Health News, and interviews with health o cials in ve states with outbreaks.

In a video of a small meeting at Central District Health in Boise, Idaho, an ocial warned colleagues that some dairies don’t want their names or locations disclosed to health departments. “Our involvement becomes very sketchy in such places,” she said.

“I just nished speaking to the owner of the dairy farm,” wrote a public health nurse at the Mid-Michigan district health department in a May 10 email. “[REDACTED] feels that this may have started [REDACTED] weeks ago, that was the rst time that they noticed a decrease in milk production,” she wrote. “[REDACTED] does not feel that they need MSU Extension to come out,” she added, referring to outreach to farmworkers provided by Michigan State University.

“We have had multiple dairies refuse a site visit,” wrote the communicable disease program manager in Weld, Colorado, in a July 2 email.

Many farmers cooperated with health o cials, but delays between their visits and when outbreaks started meant cases might have been missed. “ ere were 4 people who discussed having symptoms,” a Weld health o cial wrote in another email describing her visit to a farm with a bird u outbreak, “but unfortunately all of them had either already passed the testing window, or did not want to be tested.”

Jason Chessher, who leads Weld’s public health department, said farmers often tell them not to visit because of time constraints.

Dairy operations require labor throughout the day, especially when cows are sick. Pausing work so employees can learn about the bird u virus or go get tested could cut milk production and potentially harm animals needing attention. And if a bird u test is positive, the farm owner loses labor for additional days and a worker might not get paid. Such realities complicate public health e orts, several health o cials said.

An email from Weld’s health department, about a dairy owner in Colorado, re ected this idea: “Producer refuses to send workers to Sunrise [clinic] to get tested since they’re too busy. He has pinkeye, too.” Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is a symptom of various infections, including the bird u.

Chessher and other health o cials told KFF Health News that instead of visiting farms, they often ask owners or supervisors to let them know if anyone on-site is ill. Or they may ask farm owners for a list of employee phone numbers to prompt workers to text the health department about any symptoms.

Jennifer Morse, medical director at the Mid-Michigan District Health Department, conceded that relying on owners raises the risk cases will be missed, but that being too pushy could reignite a backlash against public health. Some of the ercest resistance against COVID-19 measures, such as masking and vaccines, were in rural areas.

“It’s better to understand where they’re coming from and gure out the best way to work with them,” she said. “Because if you try to work against them, it will not go well.”

Cat clues

And then there were the pet cats. Unlike dozens of feral cats found dead on farms with outbreaks, these domestic cats didn’t roam around herds, lapping up milk that teemed with virus.

In emails, Mid-Michigan health ocials hypothesized that the cats acquired the virus from droplets, known as fomites, on their owners’ hands or clothing. “If we only could have gotten testing on the [REDACTED] household members, their clothing if possible, and their workplaces, we may have been able to prove human>fomite->cat transmission,” said a July 22 email.

Her colleague suggested they publish a report on the cat cases “to inform others about the potential for indirect transmission to companion animals.”

ijs Kuiken, a bird u researcher in the Netherlands, at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, said person-to-cat infections wouldn’t be surprising since felines are so susceptible to the virus. Fomites may have been the cause or, he suggested, an infected — but untested — owner might have passed it on.

Hints of missed cases add to mounting evidence of undetected bird u infections. Health o cials said they’re aware of the problem but that it’s not due only to farm owners’ objections.

Local health departments are chronically understa ed. For every 6,000 people in rural areas, there’s one public health nurse — who often works part-time, one analysis found.

“State and local public health departments are decimated resource-wise,” said

On May 13 2024, Governor Polis signed House Bill 24-1056 into law. This act is the legislature’s response to the unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision in Tyler v. Hennepin County, a decision that the Colorado Attorney General suggested placed the constitutionality of Colorado’s Treasurer’s Deed process into question. While it’s important to note that the legislation did not change the tax lien process and the interest earned if/when redeemed, the changes to the Treasurer’s Deed process are substantial. This House Bill became effective July 01, 2024

Colorado rolls out ﬁrst phase of program for climate-friendly homes

BY SAM BRASCH CPR NEWS

It’s been more than two years since President Biden signed the In ation Reduction Act, a landmark climate law set to allocate $8.8 billion to help residents make their homes more energy-e cient and switch to all-electric appliances. So where, exactly, is all the federal funding?

e main reason for the delay is a lack of state-level programs to administer the wave of federal resources. Colorado took a big step toward overcoming the obstacle on Wednesday by launching the Home Electri cation and Appliance Rebate program, which will o er residents rebates on climate-friendly heat pumps, cooktops or dryers starting at some point in 2025

An initial phase of the program, however, will invest $7.6 million of the new federal money in the state’s Weatherization Assistance Program, an existing set of free services to help low-income residents cut

BIRD FLU

Lurie, who is now an executive director at an international organization, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. “You can’t expect them to do the job if you only resource them once there’s a crisis.”

Another explanation is a lack of urgency because the virus hasn’t severely harmed anyone in the country this year. “If hundreds of workers had died, we’d be more forceful about monitoring workers,” Chessher said. “But a handful of mild symptoms don’t warrant a heavy-handed response.”

All the bird u cases among U.S. farmworkers have presented with conjunctivitis, a cough, a fever, and other u-like symptoms that resolved without hospitalization. Yet infectious disease researchers note that numbers remain too low for conclusions — especially given the virus’s grim history.

About half of the 912 people diagnosed with the bird u over three decades died. Viruses change over time, and many cases have probably gone undetected. But even if the true number of cases — the denominator — is ve times as high, said Jennifer

their energy bills and better insulate their homes.

“It really made sense to take a two phase approach with the majority of funding going to the direct to consumer rebates, but to start with the weatherization clients where we have an existing program and could get some funding out there faster,” said Will Toor, the director of the Colorado Energy O ce.

e weatherization program is a product of the 1970s energy crisis. Its initial purpose was to lower energy bills by sealing drafts and adding insulation. In the decades since, Colorado has expanded the program’s scope to install all-electric stoves and heating systems to help lowincome households take advantage of renewable energy.

e initial investment represents a small portion of a $70 million grant for the program already awarded to the state by the U.S. Department of Energy. $46 million of the funding will go toward rebates for low- and moderate-income consumers set to launch sometime next year. e

Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University, a mortality rate of 10% would be devastating if the bird u virus evolved to spread swiftly between people. e case fatality rate for covid was around 1%.

By missing cases, the public health system may be slow to notice if the virus becomes more contagious. Already, delays resulted in missing a potential instance of human-to-human transmission in early September. After a hospitalized patient tested positive for the bird u virus in Missouri, public health o cials learned that a person in the patient’s house had been sick — and recovered. It was too late to test for the virus, but on Oct. 24, the CDC announced that an analysis of the person’s blood found antibodies against the bird u, signs of a prior infection.

CDC Principal Deputy Director Nirav Shah suggested the two people in Missouri had been separately infected, rather than passing the virus from one to the other. But without testing, it’s impossible to know for certain.

e possibility of a more contagious variant grows as u season sets in. If someone contracts bird u and seasonal u at the same time, the two viruses could swap genes to form a hybrid that can spread swiftly. “We need to take steps today to prevent the worst-case scenario,”

remainder will cover administrative expenses and contractor training, Toor said. ose rebates will o er a range of discounts for low- to moderate-income consumers. e program, for example, will provide up to $8,000 to cut the cost of a cold-climate heat pump o ering an efcient source of all-electric heating and cooling. A resident could claim a discount of up to $840 for electric stoves or clothes dryers.

e exact amount of those discounts is still being nalized, and will depend on the buyer’s income and the total cost of the project, said Ari Rosenblum, a spokesperson for the Colorado Energy O ce.

In addition to the direct-to-consumer rebates, Colorado has received another $70 million for projects to improve home energy e ciency. Toor said the additional funding will target multifamily housing and manufactured housing units. Colorado isn’t behind other states in launching the federally funded programs, Toor said. Rebates are only available to customers in seven states, and Colorado

Nuzzo said.

e CDC can monitor farmworkers directly only at the request of state health o cials. e agency is, however, tasked with providing a picture of what’s happening nationwide.

As of Oct. 24, the CDC’s dashboard states that more than 5,100 people have been monitored nationally after exposure to sick animals; more than 260 tested; and 30 bird u cases detected. ( e dashboard hasn’t yet been updated to include the most recent cases and ve of Washington’s reports pending CDC con rmation.)

Van Kerkhove and other pandemic experts said they were disturbed by the amount of detail the agency’s updates lack. Its dashboard doesn’t separate numbers by state, or break down how many people were monitored through visits with health o cials, daily updates via text, or from a single call with a busy farm owner distracted as cows fall sick. It doesn’t say how many workers in each state were tested or the number of workers on farms that refused contact.

“ ey don’t provide enough information and enough transparency about where these numbers are coming from,” said Samuel Scarpino, an epidemiologist who specializes in disease surveillance. e number of detected bird u cases

is among 18 with applications for funding approved by the federal government

Toor said the overall rollout of Colorado’s programs has taken time due to a long list of federal objectives and rules. While he thinks those guardrails will help protect consumers and ensure equitable access, he acknowledged they’ve made for a complicated process.

“When Congress wrote the law … they were not necessarily completely thinking of how to make it simple for states to be able to administer,” Toor said.

In the meantime, Colorado residents already have access to other programs meant to cut the cost of home energy efciency and electri cation projects. e state o ers its own heat pump tax credits and Xcel Energy, Colorado’s biggest power and gas provider, o ers heat pump rebates for its customers.

doesn’t mean much without knowing the fraction it represents — the rate at which workers are being infected. is is what renders California’s increase mysterious. Without a baseline, the state’s rapid uptick could signal it’s testing more aggressively than elsewhere. Alternatively, its upsurge might indicate that the virus has become more infectious — a very concerning, albeit less likely, development.

e CDC declined to comment on concerns about monitoring. On Oct. 4, Shah briefed journalists on California’s outbreak. e state identi ed cases because it was actively tracking farmworkers, he said. “ is is public health in action,” he added.

Salvador Sandoval, a doctor and county health o cer in Merced, California, did not exude such con dence. “Monitoring isn’t being done on a consistent basis,” he said, as cases mounted in the region. “It’s a really worrisome situation.”
