Edgar Mine opens to the public for ‘Friends and Family’ day
Instead of producing gold, the 150-year-old mine now acts as a one-of-a-kind research and educational facility

Several in the group wore School of Mines shirts or jackets and the need for hard hats quickly became apparent as the occasional clunk of hard hat against rock could be heard as the taller members of the group navigated the low rocky ceiling of the mountain above.
Je co inmate votes for the first time thanks to new Colorado law
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As a heavy metal door opened, Jesus Rodriguez walked carefully through the corridors of the Je erson County Detention Center, taking deliberate steps toward a room that would become a temporary polling place to take part in a deeply embedded American right — a right that he said felt distant and, at times, impossible from behind bars.
For the rst time in his life, Rodriguez was about to cast his vote, an act made possible by a new Colorado law aimed at expanding voting access to individuals within the criminal justice system.
SB24-072, passed this spring, mandates that county clerks and sheri s establish at least one day of in-person voting at jails and detention centers for eligible incarcerated voters.
Rodriquez, who woke up that morning unsure if he would even attempt to vote, said he decided, “Why not try?” after a security guard passed through a second time to grab inmates waiting to go to the voter registration room.
“I’m 29 years old, and I’ve never voted because I never thought it would mean that much. But in votes like today, I guess one vote means everything,” Rodriguez said. “It made me feel really good to know that my opinion matters in this situation.”
Rodriguez acknowledged that while he made mistakes in the past, he cares deeply about the community outside.

On Oct. 26 the mine was open to the public for walking tours of the winding rocky caverns inside the mine that stays at a constant 54 degrees year round.
One group of about a dozen people picked their bright yellow hard hats and tightened them to their heads in prepara-
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.
“People would be surprised to know that those of us who are incarcerated do pay attention to what’s going on out there because while we live every day in here, out there is what really matters,” he said.

EDGAR MINE
Many of the underground drilling machines are worth millions of dollars and were donated to Mines by other active 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.
At one point, members of the tour walked through what appeared to be a heavy steel door frame the width of the shaft, supported by at least 12-inch thick welded steel beams, but there was no door.
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.
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 threedimensional 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 di erent 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. e Edgar Mine is located at 365 8th Ave. in Idaho Springs.
Some tour members had to duck to avoid rocky ceilings during the trip through Edgar Mine in Idaho Springs.

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.

VOTING
It’s the way that we express love for our community. It’s the way that we have our voices heard. I ran for o ce because I want to make sure that every eligible voter is able to cast their vote, and we just got one step closer today.”
Gonzalez said that when she was elected in 2022, she discovered that the county had eligible voters in the criminal
justice system who were e ectively being denied the right to vote.
In Colorado, only those inmates serving time for a felony conviction are ineligible.
“But what we found in 2022 was that out of more than 900 people who were in our jail, only three cast a vote,” Gonzalez said. “Having the right to vote is fundamentally di erent than being able to exercise it.”
As a result, Gonzalez said her o ce teamed up with several communitybased organizations, including the Colo-
rado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, to pass the Voting for Con ned Eligible Electors Act.
“We’re the rst state in the nation that will have that kind of opportunity statewide,” she said.
Gonzalez hopes other states will follow suit. “ is is just one more example of how our democracy should work for everyone. If you are eligible to vote, you should be able to vote. And I hope that we see this throughout the country,” she said.
Ensuring every voice is counted
Gonzalez and Rodriguez weren’t the only two to grasp the moment’s importance.
Kyle Jennings, an election judge and civic engagement coordinator with the Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, was there to vet the inmates’ registration forms to ensure that no inmates still serving time on a felony charge were passed through to receive a ballot.
But, for him, the job wasn’t just about clearing inmates to receive a ballot.

Ten years ago, almost to the day, Jennings recalled sitting inside that same jail as an inmate having a conversation with a man who thought he’d lost his right to vote forever.
“It started this whole chain of events of having conversations with everyone in the pod,” Jennings said.
“I was running into guys in their 30s, 40s and 50s who had never voted before because of the legacy of Jim Crow, which suppressed voting rights for African Americans. Suddenly, I was on this whole trajectory of educating folks and helping make sure justice-involved folks know their right to vote.”
It didn’t surprise Jennings in the slightest that so many inmates showed up wanting to receive a ballot.
“ ere are two ballot initiatives (Proposition 128 and Amendment I) that directly impact the criminal justice system,” he said. “So making sure they have access to the ballot and having their voices heard really matters to them.”
To Jennings, this is deeply personal.
“Je co is my home. Colorado is my home. And making sure people have their voices heard in their communities is my life’s work now,” he said.
While it’s too early to know how many Colorado inmates will vote this year, Gonzalez said the numbers in Je co have already exceeded any prior year by the
hundreds, if not thousands.
A message from behind bars
Having nally expressed his right to vote, Rodriguez challenged those on the outside to do the same.
“If I can go through a whole process of leaving from where I’m at through a controlled movement to get there, and you don’t have to do that, and you have the free will to vote, then do it,” he said.
“ e most positive thing I’m going to take from this whole experience is knowing that I didn’t allow another person in my shoes to tell me, ‘Oh, you can’t vote because you’ve got so and so situation going on.’ I took the chance to come and nd out myself,” he continued.
Mostly, Rodriguez felt pride.
“I came to vote today because even if my one vote doesn’t matter, it still matters to me. ere were a couple of issues in these votes that I felt strongly about. No one may ever know what I voted for, but for me to know that I placed my opinion on the matter makes me feel like my voice has meaning now.”
Asked whether he’ll vote again, Rodriguez’s answer was simple.
“Absolutely.”
Jesus Rodriguez fills out his November 2024 ballot.
Ballots were placed in a secure drop box monitored by election workers.

Je co’s power couple: Married principals lead with heart and community spirit
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In honor of National Principals Month, the Je erson County school district is celebrating a unique pair of school leaders who share not only a passion for education but also a home. Amanda and John anos, the district’s only married principals, each lead a di erent school with their own distinctive style and dedication.
Amanda heads Westridge Elementary, while John leads Chat eld Senior High. Both are part of Je co Public Schools, yet each has its own rhythm and challenges.
“It’s been great to be married to another person who shares the same passion for education,” Amanda said. “A lot of our values overlap with our family too, like resilience, toughness, positivity and wanting our kids at home and our kids at school to thrive and be adaptable and have some happy memories along the way.”
e pair met as teachers while working in a school serving third through eighth grade. John, who had just moved to the county from Indiana, found himself
smitten after Amanda o ered him a ride to lunch during a professional development session held right before school started.
Since then, their careers have mirrored each other, as they both knew early on that they were interested in school leadership.
e two became assistant principals around the same time and took the state principal license test on the same day in the same room. Hinting at their competitiveness, Amanda teased John that she nished faster, but they got the same score in the end.
A few months after Amanda became Westridge’s principal, John became interim principal at Chat eld High School. For both, the best part of having a spouse serve in the same role is empathy and understanding.
“At critical moments, we can sit down and empathize with each other. We can support each other and say, ‘Hey, we recognize that this is really hard, but also, this is really worth celebrating,’” John said.
John and Amanda Thanos are “driven to be better together” as principals in the Je co school district.

Coalition looks to bring Active Bystandership Law Enforcement Program to Je erson County
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
John Paul Marosy never imagined that his path to advocating for law enforcement reform would be shaped by both personal loss and community tragedy. e Je erson County resident found his passion for transforming the justice system after two life-altering events: the heart attack that took his brother Michael’s life in 1979 while on duty as a police o cer and the 2018 tragic shooting of Joseph Santos, an unarmed Latino man, in Pennsylvania.
Marosy lived in Pennsylvania at the time and joined a vigil for Santos led by a faithbased organization.
“ e recognition that this happens to people of color all too often in our country became not an abstraction but a reality in my own life,” he said.
Drawing from these deeply personal experiences, Marosy now volunteers with Together Colorado’s Transforming Justice Team and is working to promote the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement program, a training initiative designed to help police o cers intervene in potentially harmful situations and to support their mental health.
e ABLE program, developed by Georgetown Law’s Innovative Policing Program, teaches o cers how to intervene when a colleague uses excessive force or engages in harmful behavior. e training also aims to create a police culture that promotes o cer health and wellness.
According to Marosy, the training is about protecting the public and reducing o cers’ stress. He believes that if the program had
been in place earlier, it could have prevented incidents like the deaths of Christian Glass in Colorado or George Floyd in Minnesota.
Colorado has 33 ABLE-trained police departments, including the Colorado State Patrol, the Denver Police Department, the Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce, the Littleton Police Department and the Arvada Police Department.
Together Colorado, a nonpartisan, multiracial and multi-faith community organization and its Transforming Justice team spearheaded e orts to bring the ABLE program to many of those departments.
Now, Marosey said he hopes to expand that number to include all of Je erson Counties’ law enforcement agencies.
About ABLE
Amity Losey, a sergeant with the Arvada Police Department, explained that the ABLE program has three pillars. “It’s about reducing mistakes, preventing misconduct and promoting health and wellness among ocers,” she said.
While the department has resources and training to support its personnel, Losey said the ABLE training gives them the language to step in and say something, especially when the other person might outrank them, or they are new to the department.
“You practice how to step in and how to say something,” Losey said. “While it could be about excessive force or something like that, it could also be regarding the health and wellness of your fellow o cer.
“If you notice your co-worker is acting differently, or they look sleep deprived, it’s about being able to have those conversations with
Amanda agreed and added that as busy parents of two young children, it’s great to have a shared lexicon and experience.
“In this phase of life, that’s been pretty great, but in the big picture, it’s just having that shared passion,” she said.
Evenings can be a whirlwind, but the couple is dedicated to blending family and school life. eir two young children often tag along to football games and carnivals, becoming part of both school communities.
eir youngest daughter took her rst steps at Je co stadium during a Chat eld High
“It’s a blessing,” John said. “ ey have so many people looking out for them, just like we try to do for every student.”
Celebrating the impact of principals
National Principals Month, which was celebrated each October, aims to highlight the importance of principals in shaping their communities and providing successful pathways for their students and sta .
Research shows that e ective principals profoundly impact the schools they lead, accounting for about 25% of total school e ects on student achievement.
It’s clear the anos family takes this evidence by heart.
“We are setting/role modeling a culture
your partner so that you’re reducing mistakes by dealing with those personal dynamics on the front end, as opposed to waiting for something bad to happen,” Losey continued.
ABLE follows a train-the-trainer model, whereby o cers within a department take free online courses and then roll them out to the rest of the department during regular working hours.
“It doesn’t cost taxpayers anything to implement ABLE, and on the ip side, it could save departments thousands of untold dollars by preventing potential mistakes,” Losey said.
According to the Georgetown Law Center website, “ABLE training and implementation support is provided at no cost to law enforcement agencies, but those agencies must commit to creating a culture of active bystandership and peer intervention through policy, training, support, and accountability.”
Learn more
While the program is free, the application requires departments to submit letters of support from community-based organizations.
Marosy and his team are hosting a webinar on November 14 to expand community support for the program. e webinar will feature Jonathan Aronie, the national expert on ABLE, who has helped large police departments across the country implement the program.
Participants must register to participate in the event.
For more information about the ABLE program, visit the Georgetown Law ABLE Program website or Together Colorado’s Transforming Justice Team.
of belonging and love, where there is space for everyone, not only in our schools but our community,” said John. “We are humbled to be able to do such powerful, impactful work.”
Amanda echoed her husband’s sentiment saying, “My passion behind my job from recognizing that everyone has a di erent story that they come to school with, and that can be positive or negative. e human experience is probably somewhere in between, and I just want school to be a happy place that prepares kids for their version of happy down the road.”
Amanda acknowledges that it’s a job that never stops, so she tells other school leaders, “Don’t forget to have fun. Like I said, we want to create happy memories along the way, and principals can empower others to do that.”

Lakewood couple creates buzz with beekeeping business
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jen and Bryan Zavada’s Lakewood backyard is unlike most. Instead of the usual grass and shrubs, it’s buzzing with bees, blooming lavender and an array of pollinator plants — a testament to the couple’s passion for beekeeping and the environment.
eir journey into the bee business went from a simple backyard hobby to a thriving, locally renowned honey business. And with each jar of honey and bar of lavender soap, they’re creating more than products; they’re fostering a culture of sustainability and local connection.
“We bought a house in Lakewood right as my wife and I were starting our careers with the Je co school district and a family. I didn’t want to mow my lawn every weekend in the summertime,” Bryan said. “So we started pulling out our lawn and putting in pollinator and drought-tolerant plants,” he continued. “Over time, we pulled out more and more lawn and I gained a greater appreciation for pollinators along the way.”
Pollinator plants are types of plants that attract and support pollinators like bees, butter ies, hummingbirds and other insects by providing nectar and pollen. ey are often rich in color, especially shades of purple, yellow and red, and they frequently have shapes and scents that appeal to speci c pollinators.
Yet, it wasn’t until an expert came and spoke to Bryan’s elementary students about all types of bees and the bene ts they provide to the local food supply and environment that he became inspired to purchase a colony.
“I had always thought to myself I should be a beekeeper,” Bryan said. “And then this lady came in and taught my class about bees for about 45 minutes, and that was the impetus that put me over the edge.”
He explained that the thing about bees is that they either make more honey or make more bees. It wasn’t long before they had more than they knew what to do of both. ey began experimenting with recipes and giving honey away as holiday gifts.
en, a trip to the annual lavender festival in Palisade inspired Jen to begin growing lavender and to learn more about the therapeutic properties of local plants and how to use them to make essential oils. Today, their property boasts over 200 lavender plants, which they use to make essential oils, soaps and other products.
“Lavender was the perfect complement to the bees,” Jen said. “Not only did it make our honey unique, but it also gave us new products to o er the community.”
In 2019, they took the leap and o cially launched their business, Flower Street Farm, just in time for the pandemic to shut down farmer’s markets and limit their ability to get the word out.
Although it delayed their entry into local markets, the break gave them valuable time to expand their colonies and prepare for the future. By 2021, they were ready, hitting the market circuit in full force.
Bryan said the moment he knew they’d made it came while standing in their booth at the Denver Botanical Garden’s lavender festival. ey’d gone from attending festivals to selling at them.
“We got there in an authentic way, which felt really good,” Jen said. “We stayed true to who we were as educators and as people interested in sustainability
and renewable resources.” ey now sell their products at popular venues, including Denver’s Botanic Gardens events and the Highlands Farmers Market, as well as through their website.
For the couple, beekeeping is a family a air. eir sons often help, supporting them at farmers’ markets and during the busy production season. While the market season slows in winter, the couple keeps busy by attending beekeeping conferences, researching sustainable practices and re ning their products.
Bryan also o ers workshops and consultations for aspiring beekeepers and is an advisor for the Colorado State Beekeepers Association. rough their work, they hope to inspire others to see the beauty and importance of bees and to support pollinator health in
their own ways. Bryan and Jen encourage people to look at their property as land they can cultivate instead of a spot for grass.
“Not everyone needs to be a beekeeper to support local pollinators,” Jen said. “A great way to do it is to purchase local honey and get to know your beekeeper. Know the people that you’re purchasing from and know that you’re getting an authentic product.”
Each season, their passion for bees and sustainable beekeeping grows stronger, and they’re excited to see where it takes them next.
“It feels good to know we’re doing something meaningful,” Jen said. “We love sharing our passion with the community, and we hope it inspires others to think di erently about their own impact.”

It 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.”

he Denver Museum of Nature & Science normally uses models, fossils and preserved specimens to bring the dynamic natural world to visitors, but in the new Animals of the Rainforest exhibit, guests have the opportunity to see up-close and personal some of the forest’s most beautiful inhabitants.
“ is exhibit provides the opportunity for people to see something special, something they normally don’t get to see here,” said Dr. Frank Krell, senior curator of entomology at the museum. “We know people love seeing live animals and this is an opportunity to see animals from rainforests from all over the world.”
Animals of the Rainforest is currently on display at the museum, 2001 Colorado Blvd., and is free with a general admission ticket.
e immersive exhibit features a mix of live animal displays and informative content on a range of topics, from how the rainforest ecosystem works, to the many threats these critical places face from humans and technology. ere are also animal sculptures set up throughout the exhibit that are perfect for climbing on and taking a family photo.
But of course, the biggest draw are the many animals that people can meet. Species on display include a sloth, python, iguana, boa constrictors and tortoises, all within intricately designed habitats that
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 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 eldsized 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
Step
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 mine-impacted 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 anything—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.
The abandoned mine had been plugged by an earthen and rock dam known as a bulkhead, behind which orange, highly acidic drainage water accumulated.
For now, Christopher is always looking to hire locals for dirt work and hauling. He said the jobs could last a lifetime.

they may want to do something to preserve them.”
e wildlife’s caretakers are also on hand to answer questions and provide more information about the animals.
“Documenting rainforests’ biodiversity is a really important way to preserve it for the future,” Krell said. “And here in Colorado, it provides the opportunity to see animals we normally don’t get to see.”
As is always the case at the museum, curators and have expanded the exhibit by adding features from the museum’s vast collection of preserved specimens. For this exhibit, the museum showcases a beautiful and bright collection of rainforest butter ies.
e hope is that by learning more about rainforests and the many creatures that call them home, visitors will be inspired to do what they can to help protect them.
e forests face threats from ranching and deforestation, among many other manmade pressures. We can all do our part to aid in rainforest conversation, and the exhibit highlights this fact.
“You can reach people better through their feelings and emotions rather than lecturing them,” Krell said. “If people feel connected to these places and animals,

OBITUARIES
Virginia Rose (Ripple) Roberts
August 24, 1933 - October 27, 2024
Virginia Rose (Ripple) Roberts went home to be with her Lord on October 27, 2024. Per her wishes Virginia was cremated. A memorial service will be held in Wisconsin at a later date. Virginia was born on August 24, 1933 the second child of Ruby and Nicholas Ripple. Virginia lived her early life in Portage WI. She attended Portage schools and after graduation she worked for nineteen and a half years at Weyenberg Shoe factory in Portage in the cutting department. She also worked at Brunt’s restaurant and drive-in restaurant. Virginia met and married her husband Jerome Roberts and moved to Golden, CO in 1972. After moving to CO Virginia became a housewife, and she did volunteer work for many years at the Astor House (historic landmark), the Chuck Wagon Antique Store, and the Christian Action Guild (food bank and thrift store). Virginia was also a member of the Golden Gardeners for many years. Virginia was a loving caring person who was always ready to help anyone in need. She visited and helped many elderly friends over
Cows exit the milking stalls of a dairy in 2021. 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.”
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 increas-
ingly 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 outbreaks 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.
the years. Virginia loved homemaking, reading, doing word searches, gardening, and taking care of her dogs. She owned many Boston Terriers over her lifetime, and they were all special to her. Virginia was preceded in death by her husband Jerome, her mother and father Ruby and Nick Ripple, brothers Julius (Bud) and Nick Jr., and sister Doretta Hansen. Virginia is survived by her precious dog Nikki, sister Kathy and brother -in-law Tim Tamminga Waupun WI, sister-in-laws Lois ( Bud Ripple) Krulc Fort Worth TX, Sue (Nick Jr. Ripple) Ripple Ripon, WI. and nieces, nephews, numerous friends, and associates. She will be missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.

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 | 720519-0131 | 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

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 | 720432-4155 | 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.

Bandimeres eye Hudson site for new raceway
Weld County property would allow for longer track and other amenities
BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Bandimere Speedway is pursuing a move to Hudson, with its eyes on a piece of land more than seven times bigger than its longtime Morrison site. Hudson is a town of about 1,600 people in Weld County.
e prospective 1,100-acre site would allow the development of a mile-long track and many other amenities.
“ e size of the property has made it so we can look at a lot of things we’ve always wanted to do,” John Bandimere Jr. said.
“ ere are opportunities for a lot of our sponsors and other people to do things they’ve always wanted to do, too. One simple deal is we de nitely would like to have a go-cart track.”
Morrison’s now-closed Bandimere Speedway had a three-
quarter mile track, which Bandimere said is too short for today’s cars.
“ at extra space gives you a quarter mile to race and threequarters to shut down,” he said.
“When I was growing up, there wasn’t anybody that went 200 mph in a quarter mile. Vehicles are so fast today, they just need that extra space for stopping.”
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 is-
sue with a wetland that he described as “ xable.”
Bandimere Speedway is a family-run 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. “ ey’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.
e 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.
at 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.

erations in Morrison and will do so at the new site.
John Bandimere Sr. bought the 150-acre property on Morrison Road in 1957 — decades before C470 was built — and opened the speedway a year later. Also known as under Mountain, the dragstrip hosted 28,500 spectators at more than 130 events a year. Bandimere Speedway closed at the end of the 2023 season.
The site of the former Bandimere Speedway, which closed last year, was annexed into the Town of Morrison and is set to become the new home of an auto auction company.

Film tackles legacy of Rocky Flats
Local residents says newcomers are not aware of the history of the abandoned nuclear site
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
One of the biggest ailments caused by the abandoned Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant is a dangerous form of amnesia, say residents and government o cials.
“As the years go by, a lot about the plant and what was done there is lost,” said Je Gipe, an Arvada native who father worked at the now defunct Rocky Plants from 1982 to 2002.
Gipe’s lm – “Half-Life of Memory: America’s Forgotten Atomic Bomb Factory” – seeks to shed light on the forgotten deadly legacy of Rocky Flats. e world premiere of “Half-Life Memory” will be held at the Denver Film Festival on Nov. 8 at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave, Denver.
Gipe said he wants his lm to remind people that over for over four decades, Rocky Flats churned out 70,000 plutonium “triggers” for nuclear weapons.
e plant’s res, leaks and illegal dumping contaminated the Denver metro area with radioactive and toxic chemicals, according to the news release about the lm.
A massive plutonium re in 1969 – one of the worse in U.S. history - sparked a decade of mass protests, eventually leading to an unprecedented raid by the FBI and the Department of Energy that shuttered the plant in 1989, according to the news release.
e plant left behind a radioactive legacy that will last for generations, Gipe said. Yet, the plant’s history has been whitewashed to allow the public to enjoy the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge that was established in 2007.
“ e DOE does not want to acknowledge the history of the plant,” Gipe said. “Colorado instead wants to create a success story out there.”
e U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says on its website that the Refuge was created in part to preserve and protect more than 630 species of plants, as well as the globally rare xeric tallgrass prairie.
e Refuge has striking vistas of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and rolling prairie grasslands, woodlands, and wetlands, the Wildlife Service states.
e Refuge is home to 239 migratory and resident wildlife species, including prairie falcons, deer, elk, coyotes, songbirds, and the federally threatened Preble’s meadow jumping mouse, and provides a protected corridor for migrating wildlife.
Gipe said he’s happy that the Westminster City Council did not buy into the bucolic picture painted by the federal government of the area around Rocky Flats.
e council, by a narrow vote, pulled the city’s support of an Intergovernmental Agreement signed in 2021 with Je erson County and several other entities to construct a bridge connecting Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge and Westminster Hills Open Space.
Digging in
A majority of councilors said in September that they no longer wanted the city to be part of the Rocky Mountain Greenway project over concerns that any foot tra c
along the trail into Westminster will stir up deadly plutonium linked to the shuttered Rocky Flats facility.
“I was really pleasantly surprised by Westminster’s vote on that,” Gipe said. “It looks like they really dug into the research around the plant.”
Westminster Mayor Nancy McNally voted not to break the Intergovernmental Agreement and to continue with the trail’s construction. However, McNally noted that people have quickly forgotten the hazards still posed by Rocky Flats.
“A lot of the city council members didn’t even know about Rocky Flats,” McNally said. “And a lot of people who have moved here over the past few years, are totally unaware of the plant.”
She wants the city to put up signage around the trail from the plant to let people know of its legacy. “We have to let people know,” McNally said.
Refuge supporters point to a Sept. 8 ruling from Judge Timothy J. Kelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied a motion for a preliminary injunction against completion of Rocky Mountain Greenway trails within the Refuge. ” e ndings are clear and very critical of the claims made by the consortium of anti-Refuge groups,” according to Friends of the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge. “It is possible that this may mark the end of the legal challengers to the public use of Rocky Flats and the Rocky Mountain Greenway,” the website states.
Still, Westminster resident Charlene Willey makes clear that her husband’s death and her daughter’s multiple disabilities were caused by his work at Rocky Flats. She also says local governments who allow recreational access the plant are too quick to dismiss the public health risks still posed by the facility.
Other groups say local councils who voted not to participate in the trail’s construction are “suckers” being played by environmental activists who use scant scienti c evidence to back claims of the site’s dangers.
Played for suckers
“Most anti-Refuge opinions are easy to dismiss, but local municipalities… were played for suckers by anti-nuclear groups,” states Friends of the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge on its website. “Your kids cannot take school trips to the Refuge because clueless risk-averse school boards listened to non-technical reps from the (Rocky Mountain) Peace and Justice Center sowing anxiety.”
“When nuclear power looms larger as a part of the energy future of the U.S., we can least a ord to give publicity to re exively anti-nuclear nonsense,” the Friends state, “from people without credentials but great media access.”
Willey’s husband was hired in the early 1980s to work in the “glove box” area of the plant, the most dangerous work there, she said.
He was told not to talk to anyone, not even his family, about the incidents or accidents that might occur while he worked in the glove box area, Willey said. “He put faith in their promises of protection because he wanted to be a responsible head of the household for his family,” Willey said.
Over the next 20 years her husband’s rheumatoid arthritis became much worse, and he was nally forced to retire early at the insistence of his doctor. In 2008, he died of esophageal cancer. Just before his death, Willey’s younger daughter su ered a seizure and a neurological exam revealed that she had several brain anomalies, Willey said.
Rob Prince of northwest Denver, front, holds a sign protesting the opening of the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge on 2018. “Just remember you’re dealing with a toxic substance that can contaminate things for 200,000 thousand years,” Prince said. “Why mess with that?”
Law on phone use while driving about to change
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Colorado drivers face a new law that prohibits people from using a mobile electronic device – including a cell phone – while driving unless they use a handsfree accessory. e penalties for violating the prohibition include a $75 ne and license suspension points, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
To prepare drivers for the new law, which goes into e ect Jan. 1, 2025, CDOT is launching an awareness campaign over the next several months to ensure all Coloradans know about the law and best practices. e campaign will include outreach e orts through social media, paid ads and collaboration with key stakeholders, according to a CDOT news release.
e goal with the new law is to reduce distractive driving in Colorado, as studies have shown that using a mobile device while driving increases the risk of a crash by two to six times, according to CDOT.
“ is new legislation is a crucial step toward making Colorado’s roads safer for everyone,” Shoshana Lew, executive director of CDOT, said in the news release.
“By encouraging drivers to focus solely on the task of driving, we can reduce the number of distracted driving incidents and prevent crashes that often come with such behavior, Lew states. “ is law aligns with best practices from across the nation and reects our commitment to protecting all road users, whether in a vehicle, on a bike or walking.”
According to CDOT’s 2024 Driver Behavior Report, 77% of Colorado drivers admitted to using their phones while driving, with 45% saying a handsfree feature in their car would stop them from using their phone.
Distracted drivers pose a particularly high risk to vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists. From 2015 to 2023, deaths among pedestrians and bicyclists increased by 50% and 112.5%, respectively, while Colorado’s population grew by less than 8% during the same period, the news release states.
LEGACY
“ e neurologist who did the exam asked if either one of us had ever been exposed to radiation. My husbandnally described the incident early in his employment at Rocky Flats. is was evidence of the genetic harm that the radiation had caused not just to him, but to our daughter as well,” she said.
Willey said government agencies, including Je erson County, overseeing the areas contaminated by Rocky Flats, were eager for residents to forget its legacy.
“Instead of creating a “priesthood” of protectors of this area for the next 3,000 years, they saw this as the gold mine of development and a solid tax base. Whole communities were built on ground covered in unknown levels of radioactive contamination. Home buyers are warned not to plant a garden or to dig in the soil,” she said.
“ ese warnings go mostly unheeded, however, because most homes are purchased by people from out of state or those too young to remember the history of Rocky Flats,” Willey said.
Colorado joins 29 other states in prohibiting the use of hand-held mobile devices while driving. States with similar laws have reported decreases in distracted driving crashes. In Michigan, a 2023 law banning hand-held cellphone use led to a 12.8% decrease in distracted driving crashes within the rst year, the news release states.
Penalties for violating the new law start with a $75 ne and two license suspension points for the rst o ense. First-time violators can have the charge dismissed if they provide proof of purchasing
“We see wildlife areas, giving the impression that this ground is safe to walk on. Worst of all, they developed a system of trails that school children use for outings. e level of disregard for public welfare is astounding to me,” she said.
Environmental journalist Hannah Nordhaus says in “Half-Life Memory” that the nuclear threat at Rocky Flats is largely forgotten but that the plutonium the plant generated has a half-life of 24,000 years. “ e contamination at Rocky Flats will long outlive our e orts to control or even remember it,” Nordhaus says.
Following the lm’s premiere, there will be a discussion with director Je Gipe, former FBI agent Jon Lipsky, former Rocky Flats worker Judy Padilla, Rocky Flats Truth Force member Chet Tchozewski, and Rocky Flats grand jury foreman Wes McKinley.
Film has three showings schecduled, 4:30 p.m. Nov. 2 and at 2 p.m. Nov. 6 and 8. It will be shown at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E Colfax Ave, in Denver. Tickets are available at https://denver lmfestival. eventive.org/schedule/66f1c83991ccf20 20f0cc3d3 online.

As the January 2025 deadline approaches, CDOT urges all drivers to begin putting down their phones when driving, ensuring they are prepared when the law takes e ect, the news release states. Drivers are encouraged to acquire handsfree accessories such as dashboard mounts and car speakerphone systems to comply with the new law. e law includes exemptions for individuals reporting emergencies, utility workers, code enforcement o cers, animal protection o cers, rst responders and individuals in parked vehicles. ese exceptions ensure that critical communications are not hindered in emergency or essential service situations, the news release states.

Dakota Ridge football clinches 4A South Metro League title
BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
LAKEWOOD — Dakota Ridge football hasn’t missed a beat under rst-year head coach Jeremiah Behrendsen. e Eagles — No. 3 in this week’s Class 4A Colorado Preps Football rankings — pushed their winning streak to eight Friday night at Je co Stadium with a 47-21 victory over Golden. More importantly, Dakota Ridge o cially wrapped up the 4A South Metro League title with the win.
“Maybe some of the pressure of it is o ,” Coach Behrendsen said of wrapping up the league title with one more week left of the regular season. “In all reality, for our preparation we are still going to attack next week the same
Dakota Ridge closed out its regular season against Bear Creek on Oct. 31 (before press deadlines) at Je co Stadium. e Bears got o to a nice 4-1 start with the return of head coach Tom enell, but Bear Creek (4-5, 0-4 in league) has lost four in a row since it entered conference
“We still need to go back to work and beat Bear Creek,” said Dakota Ridge junior Landon Kalsbeck, who had rushing touchdowns of 17, 18 and 70 yards against the Demons. “It really does feel great to win league. I think this is a tough league.”
Since Dakota Ridge’s Week 1 loss to south-Je co rival Chat eld, the Eagles (8-1, 4-0) have soared to their current 8-game winning streak over the last two months.
“ at rst game was tough, but we knew we could bounce back,” Kalsbeck said of the opening week loss to 5A’s Chat eld. “We hope they (Chargers) keep winning because it makes us look better.”
Chat eld holds a 7-2 record and recently defeated Arvada West at Je co Stadium in a 22-21 thriller.
It is the second straight conference title for the Eagles. Dakota Ridge won the 4A Mountain West title last year in the nal season for longtime head coach Ron Woitalewicz, who retired after last season.
“We know the expectations,” Behrendsen said. “We have had success as a program and we want to continue it. We have a bunch of good kids who are really good football players. As coaches we felt we would be letting the kids down if we didn’t reach goals like this.”
Dakota Ridge has won six league titles over the past seven seasons.
e Eagles grabbed a commanding 28-7 halftime lead over the Demons. Juniors — quarterback Kellen Behrendsen (coach’s son) and Kalsbeck — each had a pair of rushing touchdown in the opening half.
Golden’s lone score was a 43-yard touchdown run by sophomore quarterback atcher Matthew midway through the second quarter to end 21 unanswered points by Dakota Ridge to start the game.
Junior Jack O erdahl and senior Sam Callas both had rushing touchdowns in the second half. Kalsbeck ripped o a 70-yard touchdown run for the longest play of the night.
“We try to be varied in what we do,” Coach Behrendsen said of the Eagles having four di erent players with rushing touchdowns on the night. “We’ve got three or four guys on the eld who we can get the ball to di erent ways.”
Matthews tossed a pair of touchdown passes in the third quarter as the Demons fought to stay within striking distance. Sophomore Colin Meier had a 32-yard touchdown catch and senior Cooper Needham had a 20-yard scoring grab to cut the Eagles lead to 35-21 late in the third quarter.
e Demons were actually the last squad to prevent Dakota Ridge from winning the league title. Golden won the conference title in 2022.
“It’s amazing,” said Behrendsen, who is in his rst year as the Eagles starting quarterback for the team his father was an assistant coach for many years before taking over the head job this season. “I’ve been watching this all since I was like 2 years old. It’s an amazing feeling.”

Fonda urges locals to continue fighting for clean air
Celebrity activist gives pep talk to residents of north Denver
BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN
North Denver activists ghting air pollution who hosted Jane Fonda for a pep talk on Oct. 28 do get starry-eyed talking about the celebrity, but not just because of her two Oscars, bestselling books and 1980s workout-queen status. ey pay homage to the left-leaning celebrity because, they say, her presence gets results. And when it comes to environmental activism, Fonda is no one-hit wonder, they add. e same groups held a listening session with her in ElyriaSwansea in February, and Fonda on Oct.
BIRD FLU
“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
28 said she’d return soon.
“Nothing elevated our platform like her February visit,” said Harmony Cummings, a former oil and gas industry employee who now leads a community center e ort against air polluters that is based a mile south of the Suncor oil renery.
“People reach out to us when they see her name,” Cummings said. “Instead of getting ignored, people come to us. It puts us on the map.”
Fonda is 86, and decades away from her Hollywood celebrity peak, but continues steady work as an actress and author in between political and policy e orts. She has been arrested multiple times at climate change protests, and has focused recent visits on “cancer alley” cities associated with oil and gas and petrochemical industries, that report high incidents
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 parttime, one analysis found.
“State and local public health departments are decimated resource-wise,” said 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 heavyhanded 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
of health problems among minority and low-income residents.
Commerce City and north Denver neighborhoods, bracketed by Suncor, electrical generation, the Purina plant, multiple interstate highways and historic Superfund status from metal smelting, have high rates of asthma and heart problems. Activists and their supporters in Denver and state health departments want tighter regulation of Suncor and other documented polluters.
Community members who took the small stage as Fonda listened targeted a current rulemaking at the Air Quality Control Commission establishing restrictions on the worst airborne toxins, rules meant to carry out past state legislation.
“We hope they hear that the pressure is on,” said Guadalupe Solis with the non-
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 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,” 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 conrmation.)
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
pro t community activist group Cultivando. “A lot of things are in their power.”
Fonda went beyond listening, asking speci c questions about Colorado’s oil and gas drilling setback rules and whether they have matched recent California restrictions demanding 3,000-foot-plus bu ers for residents.
After hearing a summary of e orts by the nonpro t legal center Earthjustice, in partnership with the community, to ght Suncor, Fonda told a packed room of volunteers to not lose their courage.
“I’m trying to give it my all,” she said. “So I’m not depressed. I’m hopeful. We are focused on Commerce City, and we will keep coming back.”
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.
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 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.”
