Lakewood’s Bright MINDS Program o ers lifeline for students with dyslexia
Dyslexia Awareness Month shines light
on unique needs
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At Alameda International Junior/Senior High School in Lakewood, Sophomore River Gallegos is nding his stride after years of struggling with dyslexia in a traditional school setting. Now in his fourth year in the Bright MINDS program, Gallegos describes the school as a place where he can truly t in, and not just academically.
Bright MINDS (the second part stands for Multisensory Intensive Dyslexia Support) provides specialized support for middle and high schoolers with dyslexia, ensuring they receive the tailored education they need to succeed.
By fostering an environment of understanding and empowerment, Gallegos, Judy and their classmates are overcoming hurdles and gaining condence while also breathing a sigh of relief.
Earlier this year, parents and students were told Bright MINDS would be scaled back dramatically due to inadequate funding and a sta ng shortage.
Within a few weeks of the announcement, the Je erson County School District reversed its position and said it was committed to keeping the program open.
e district has lived up to its word. e program’s 23 students, who are a mix of 7th, 8th and high school grades, moved to a newly renovated area of the library and now occupy two large classrooms. ere are no signs of slowing down.

e district empowered the school to build the program, which opened in 2021, from the ground up, demonstrating its commitment to serving dyslexic students, whose struggles often go unrecognized until they are years behind in reading.
“Elementary school was the worst,” Judy said. “I had no help, and I didn’t enjoy school at all. ey put me in these classes that separated me from the other kids, which gave me less condence in myself.”
At Alameda, Judy, now in 11th grade, is thriving.
“ e help we get here is unlike any other school,” he said. “I feel con dent asking for help. It’s okay to struggle in school, and now I can just be myself.”
Local churches, governments scramble for solutions after Severe Weather Shelter Network closes
BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Local governments and nonpro ts are piecing together a plan to shelter unhoused people this winter after the nonpro t Severe Weather Shelter Network shut down permanently over the summer.
e faith-based network, which coordinated emergency overnight shelter in churches during blizzards and cold snaps in Arapahoe and Je erson counties, told supporters in an August email the organization no longer has “the nancial means, and church involvement, to keep the shelters open.”
“All SWSN sta are being released and the Board is in the process of ful lling all outstanding obligations and shutting down responsibly,” the email read.
Local governments and homelessness outreach agencies say shelter during severe winter weather is a matter of life and death for those living on the streets.
In response to the void left by SWSN closing, Je erson County and Arapahoe County are working on forming severe weather committees to coordinate sheltering services.
e Tri-Cities Homeless Initiative, which serves Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan, has formed a severe weather subcommittee to review data from previous years and determine best practices for this year, City of Englewood Communications Director Chris Harguth said. at organization will be responsible for deciding temperature regulations for the area’s daytime shelters, which currently stand at 32 degrees with moist weather or 20 degrees with dry weather, but will be nalized by a Nov. 14 vote and acted on in “good faith” until then, Harguth said. Two nonpro ts will be in charge of coordinating overnight shelters.
In the Tri-Cities, Englewood-based Homelessness Awareness and Action Task Force will be the primary overnight shelter provider, and Movement 5280, also in Englewood, will serve as an over ow shelter.
rough multisensory teaching techniques and a focus on self-advocacy, the program helps students like Gallegos and Hudson Judy — two of its rst enrollees — navigate their academic challenges while fully integrating into school life.
Andrea Arguello, assistant principal and program administrator, said her colleagues and students love the new space and are enthusiastic about recruiting more students to apply.

Sophomore Zila Bobian said she wasn’t diagnosed with dyslexia until 6th grade, and for years, no one knew what was wrong with her even though she sensed all along that reading was di cult.
Je co is working on creating a Severe and Extreme Weather Action Plan, Je co Human Services Spokesperson Mallory Albi said. at plan will be reliant on support from local organizations willing to use their space to shelter unhoused people. One venue that has stepped up is Mission Arvada, the homeless ministry located in e Rising Church in Olde Town Arvada.

Colorado House District 28 candidate profiles Peter Boddie
About me: I’m a lifelong champion for working Coloradans. I’ve worked hard my whole life to put food on my family’s table while helping others do the same. I’ve been an active advocate at the state Capitol for years, working on behalf of my fellow telecom workers and seniors. I’m also a longtime volunteer with the Colorado Alliance for Retirees and was a member of the Tri-County Workforce Development Board for over a decade. I’m a lifetime member of the Je co Democratic Latino Initiative and served on my HOA as vice president and president for almost two decades.

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?
I have a lot of plans for my second term, but I am particularly focused on making the Homestead Act permanent, as my 2024 bill was given a two-year sunset clause and ensuring all public schools have access to grants to acquire HVAC units. Additionally, I will consider my term a success if I have done all I can to make healthcare more a ordable and accessible, safeguard public education, protect our workers and their rights, fund rst responders, and lower taxes on the middle class, seniors, military, and Gold Star families.
How would you support the foothills communities e orts at wildland re mitigation and protection?
I have fought hard to protect funding for our re ghters, both in Jeffco and across the state. During the 2024 Special Legislative Session, I stood up against proposed budget cuts for our rst responders. If reelected, I will continue working to ensure our emergency personnel have the resources to stay prepared and equipped to battle our wild res. Wild res are an issue that will continue to impact the foothills, and we must be proactive when it comes to mitigating their damage. What suggestions would you have for supporting an aging population in the foothills’ communities, where people are often far from services but also often can’t a ord to move closer to them?
Ensuring access to telehealth
services may be one of the biggest parts in narrowing the gap of care between rural and urban areas for aging Coloradans. Additionally, we need to provide support to rural hospitals and medical centers to prevent closures. I also see transportation services, as well as mobile health clinics, as a vital component to improving access to medical care in rural communities. I believe that all seniors should be able to age in place and with dignity. Do you think the state should do anything to make healthcare and mental healthcare more a ordable?
e answer to this question will always be yes. Healthcare costs in Colorado are major expenses for our young, middle-aged, and older residents. Medical care shouldn’t leave Coloradans in crippling debt, and we need to stand up to major insurance corporations that prey on Coloradans. In addition, more needs to be done to ensure people know that they must reapply in order to receive their medicaid bene ts.
What will you do to alleviate the high costs of living?
In my rst term, I passed legislation that provided tax relief for older Coloradans and supported legislation that expanded the Earned Income Tax Credit and lowered the cost of key medications, such as insulin. If reelected, I plan to re le my bill to make the Homestead Act permanent, and I will work to pass additional policies that give hardworking Coloradans and their families a break.

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?
e Legislature passed 525 bills in the 2024 Regular Session. Too many. Mistakes were made. My term will be a success if I can reduce the number of bills passed and repair some of the damage caused by Democrats, including the ‘Big Back ow Blunder’ (see website) caused by my opponent.
My motto is “Make Colorado Colorado Again.” It encapsulates my desire to restore and protect what we have always enjoyed in Colorado: freedom, a ordable living, security, opportunity, and the outdoor life. I want government to be limited, so our freedoms will be protected.
How would you support the foothills communities e orts at wildland re mitigation and protection?
First of all, I studied re behavior at CSU, and I fought some wildland res for the USFS during and just out of college. I understand the problem. I have the expertise to evaluate solutions and work with other legislators on the best ones.
What suggestions would you have for supporting an aging population in the foothills’ communities, where
To begin with, we need to reduce the damage to our economy caused by Democrats nationally and locally to make life easier for those on a xed income. In terms of foothills communities, I will work to come up with policies, and enact legislation, that gives exibility, so that communities can prioritize services, which can be di erent between rural and urban areas. Caregiving by family should be supported whether a senior is at home or in a facility. Transportation, provision of good meals, and opportunities for social engagement are important everywhere.
Do you think the state should do anything to make healthcare and mental healthcare more a ordable?
We can always improve our health care and mental health care. ere needs to be transparency in costs, so that people can make good decisions. Informed consumers and competition between providers can reduce costs. e State can encourage that, as well as provide exibility and choices. Government intervention, however, usually increases costs and reduces services, so it should be limited.
What will you do to alleviate the high costs of living?
Much of the increase in the cost of living is due to Democrat policies nationally and in Colorado. I am running to get one Democrat out and replace her with a sensible Republican. I would reduce government regulation, restore our energy sector, and reduce crime and illegal immigration – end sanctuary policies - all of which add to our cost of living.
A Sign of the Times: Zillow Shows Climate Risk Data for All Active Listings
I was as shocked as anyone to hear that Asheville, North Carolina, had been devastated by flooding from Hurricane Helene. It is over 300 miles inland from the Atlantic coast and on the western slope of the Appalachian mountain range. It is 2,100 feet above sea level.
To those of us who comfort ourselves that we are in a haven from climate change, this should be a wake-up call.
Zillow heard that wake-up call and recently introduced a “Climate Risk” assessment for all active listings on its website. At right are charts you’ll find if you search on Zillow for my listing at 48 Lang Street in Twin Lakes, Colorado, at the eastern foot of Independence Pass. I’m only showing the Flood risk map, but there are comparable maps for Fire, Wind, Air Quality and Heat risks by clicking on the buttons you see at the top left of the map.
younger home shoppers, who are driving the market. The median age of today's home buyer is 39, and first-time buyers make up 50% of all buyers. Millennial and Gen Z shoppers who comprise 54% of all home buyers are most likely to consider a climate risk when determining where to shop for a home. Across generations, a majority of shoppers reported taking into account at least one climate risk when looking for their next home.”
Although 86% of Millennials are likely to consider climate risks when searching for a home, the average for all groups is 83%, with Baby Boomers the lowest at 70%. Bottom line: it’s a big concern for everyone, and we need to take notice.
“Climate risks are now a critical factor in home-buying decisions,” said Skylar Olsen, chief economist at Zillow.
It was a year ago last month that Zillow released a report stating that “A clear majority of prospective buyers in each region of the United States consider at least one climate risk when shopping for a home.” In the Midwest the percentage was 77% and in the West it was 90%.
Such risks were of least concern, surprisingly, to prospective buyers in the South, including Florida, but I suspect that may change after recent hurricanes.
The Sept. 2023 report continued: “Climate risks are a major concern for
The data source for Zillow is First Street, which provides climate risk data across multiple industries, including government, banking, and insurance.
First Street’s analysis of the destruction caused by August’s Cat-1 hurricane Debby found that 78% of flooded properties were outside FEMA’s flood zones.
According to Zillow, “First Street is the standard for climate risk financial modeling (CRFM) working to connect climate change to financial risk. First Street uses transparent, peer-reviewed methodologies to calculate the past, present, and future climate risk for properties globally, and makes it available for citizens, industry and government.”

Years ago, I learned couple important things about flood insurance. First, for water damage to be covered by regular homeowners insurance, the water can’t hit the ground before entering your house. If the water hits the ground first, it is considered flooding and is only covered by flood insurance.
However, even flood insurance does not cover a finished basement. It will cover anything in your basement, such as a furnace and water heater, that serves the above-grade floors, but it will not cover below-grade walls, floors or furnishings.
Climate risk information is currently available on Zillow’s iPhone app and on the Zillow website, with Android availability expected early next year.
Take Pictures of Your Home Before the Snow Falls
Even if you don’t expect to put your home on the market this winter, it’s a good idea to have exterior pictures of your home and yard which the grass is green and the leaves are on the trees. If you have trees which blossom in the spring, make a note to take a picture then too.

Golden Real Estate’s Broker Associates
Last week, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) had a newsletter item that caught my attention.
Covid had, of course, increased the importance of making listings more attractive to potential buyers who might not be able to visit the home in person.
The newsletter article pointed out that, just like work-at-home, buying without seeing a home in person is still a thing.
It quoted a 2022 survey of 1,000 homeowners by Lending Tree which showed that 47% of them bought without an in-person tour of the property.
We already know that the vast majority well over 90% of buyers begin their home search online and only call an agent when they want to see a home. During Covid, that meant in some cases a FaceTime tour of the home by a showing agent. (We were “essential workers.”)
Americans got so used to Zoom meetings and working virtually during Covid that many of them still prefer Zoom meetings, and that translates into wanting to see a home virtually before making an offer.
What the article failed to mention was
that most of those buyers probably did attend the professional inspection of the home after going under contract, but the fact remains that a good online presence is what got that home under contract.
The article mentioned some of the technological tools, in addition to FaceTime, which have allowed listing agents to dramatically improve the online presentation of their listings, thereby allowing buyers to feel comfortable with submitting an offer prior to seeing the listing in person.
Matterport’s interactive still photos linked to a floor plan was one of those technologies. It allows a person, with their computer mouse, to rotate each still photo 360 degrees and even look at the ceiling and floor.
What wasn’t mentioned, and shocked me by its absence, was the mention of narrated video tours, which my broker associates and I create for every residential listing! What could be more useful than being able to walk through a home with the listing agent describing all its features basically simulating an inperson showing?
Je co 10th Graders explore future careers at Lakewood expo
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On a bright, warm October day, thousands of Je erson County 10th graders wandered the grounds at the Gold Crown Foundation athletic facility in Lakewood. e high school students were there to explore a diverse array of career paths at the annual Je co Career Expo.
“ e big goal is for our 10th-grade students to have an opportunity to be exposed to a variety of career opportunities and to interact with people in those jobs to learn how to pursue them,” said Heather Waldron, director of post-secondary workforce readiness for Je co Public Schools.
e expo featured nearly 100 industry partners, including long-time participants like Mountain Vista Healthcare and newer additions like the Colorado Arborists Association. Waldron said that for the rst time, the district asked business leaders to consider o ering job shadow experiences, worksite tours and internships to allow students to continue exploring careers after the expo. Waldron said having the opportunity to talk to professionals creates light bulb moments for many students.
“ ey can ask representatives directly what people love or not love about their jobs before they start to make choices for their junior and senior courses,” she said. “I heard a student today who was surprised to learn that you don’t have to have a college degree to be an airline pilot.”
Audra Ramirez, director of lifestyle and activities at Mountain Vista Senior Living Community, said she’d met several students at expos like this one who became interns at the facility. Others have come back as volunteers.
Anne Gardetto with Standley Lake Regional Park said she was there to educate students about the two jobs the park service o ers: park ranger and park naturalist.
“Everyone knows about a park ranger job, but they don’t always know that teaching about nature, which is what a park naturalist does, is a thing,” Gardetto said. She brought job descriptions that include the salary range and qualications needed to apply so high school students can see what level of education and experience they’ll need if interested.
Outside in the parking lot, students gathered in line, taking turns climbing a tree and learning what it takes to become an arborist.

“So when I came to this school, it really helped me out because there are other people who have dyslexia and understand what I’m experiencing,” Bobian said. “It was just easier for me with these classes.”
Bobian is also part of TRiO, a grantfunded college preparatory program through the Colorado School of Mines. A university counselor teaches TRiO participants a daily advising class focused on academic and career guidance, tutoring, and grade-speci c workshops on student success topics, including ACT/ SAT prep, college applications and nancial aid.
“With the college prep program, we’re showing them they can make it to college and be successful,” said Jessica urby, program learning specialist and reading interventionist.
Dyslexia-friendly public school
e Bright MINDS program is unique in Colorado and possibly the country. It’s a rare opportunity for families to receive such individualized support at a public school.
Students are also fully integrated into the school.
“ eir intervention is not in place of their English class,” Arguello said. “It’s what our Bright MINDS teachers give them, and then they’re completely mainstreamed with students in their subjects. Because Alemeda’s principal, Susie Van Scoyk, Arguello, urby and others strive to create a

“We’re working with all of our sta to know what dyslexia is,” said urby. “And we’re implementing universal accommodations in classrooms so anybody who may be struggling, whether they’re
part of the program or not, can succeed.”
Although Van Scoyk said the district is working to train all its teachers, this type of culture is rare. As a result, students travel long distances to get to school each morning.
“We had a student relocate from New Mexico,” Arguello said. “Other families drive from as far as Brighton.” Families can apply for Bright MINDS through the Je erson County enrollment process or contact the school for more

Dyslexia is a learning disability that a ects how the brain processes written language, making reading and spelling di cult. It a ects 15% to 20% of the population but is commonly misunderstood. Individuals with dyslexia can learn to read, especially when they receive explicit instructional support.

Students with dyslexia are often challenging to identify because their strengths can mask their weaknesses. According to the Colorado Department of Education, “At times, what may appear as lack of e ort or avoidance of reading tasks may in fact be fatigue due to challenges processing information di erently than their peers.”

e nonpro t’s Executive Director Karen Cowling said the church — which has provided “over ow” shelter in the past when the SWSN was full — has been scrambling to ensure it can house 40 people when the temperatures plunge below 20 degrees and/or there is at least six inches of snow. She added that if they don’t, people’s lives will be in danger. “ is is lifesaving sheltering for unhoused individuals,” Cowling said. “We had somebody die across the street ve years ago. He was a veteran in his 30s. Since that happened, we have said we will do whatever it takes to keep people safe from the weather.”
In the south metro area (Englewood, Arapahoe County)
Englewood City Manager Shawn Lewis spoke to the severity of what SWSN closing means for unhoused people at an Aug. 12 city council meeting where Englewood approved $5,000 in “seed money” to Homelessness Awareness and Action Task Force; an organization based in the
south metro Denver area that will use a motel voucher model to provide severe weather shelter to unhoused individuals this winter.
“( e SWSN) have undoubtedly saved lots of lives by keeping people from freezing on the streets, which has happened in Englewood, but has not (happened) since we changed our city code to allow severe weather sheltering to use some of our churches,” Lewis said.
“HAAT Force does sheltering using a motel voucher program and was approached by SWSN and asked to take their client list,” Lewis continued.
HAAT Force will activate its overnight shelter system from Oct. 1 to April 30 when temperatures fall below 32 degrees with rain or snow or 20 degrees without rain or snow for three or more hours during the overnight period of 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
HAAT Force will make the decision to open between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., seven days a week. at decision can be made for a maximum of three days at a time.
When the shelter is open, people who are pre-registered can make reservations between 10 a.m. and noon, or until full by calling the hotline at 720-483-7864. After that window, any open spots can be claimed by non-pre-registered clients.
Phone and Internet Discounts Available to CenturyLink Customers
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission designated CenturyLink as an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier within its service area for universal service purposes. CenturyLink’s basic local service rates for residential voice lines are $34.00 per month and business services are $53.50 per month. Specific rates will be provided upon request.
CenturyLink participates in the Lifeline program, which makes residential telephone or qualifying broadband service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families. Eligible customers may qualify for Lifeline discounts of $5.25/ month for voice or bundled voice service or $9.25/month for qualifying broadband or broadband bundles. Residents who live on federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone or qualifying broadband service per household, which can be either a wireline or wireless service. Broadband speeds must be at least 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload to qualify.
A household is defined as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Services are not transferable, and only eligible consumers may enroll in these programs. Consumers who willfully make false statements to obtain these discounts can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from these programs.
If you live in a CenturyLink service area, visit https:// .centurylink.com/aboutus/ community/community-development/ lifeline.html for additional information about applying for these programs or call 1-800-201-4099 with questions.
HAAT Force can serve 20 individuals and 20 families when activated.
e City of Littleton also gave HAAT Force $5,000 in funding, while Arapahoe County Commissioners approved $112,000 in funding that was left over from a 2021 federal grant the county received to be allocated to the nonpro t.
Lewis said that Movement 5280, another homeless nonpro t based in Englewood, had also reached out about providing severe weather sheltering. Harguth con rmed that Movement 5280 will serve as an over ow shelter when HAAT Force’s capacity is reached.
e HAAT Force hotline number will be transferred to Movement 5280 between 2 and 5 p.m. when there is a need for overow sheltering. Movement 5280’s shelter will be open at 6 p.m. and doors will close for the night at 9 p.m.
Movement 5280 is able to serve 30 clients a night when activated, Harguth said, which, combined with HAAT Force’s capacity, “is greater than the demand we’ve seen in previous years,” Harguth said.
“(We) are con dent we will be able to serve clients that need services,” Harguth continued.
In the west metro area (Je erson County, Broomfield and Adams County)
Across the region, a number of organizations with di erent standards to activate shelters will seek to ll in this winter.
In Je erson County, RecoveryWorks in Lakewood will be activated for sheltering when temperatures reach 32 degrees with precipitation or 20 degrees and no precipitation; e MAC in Westminster will be activated when temperatures reach zero degrees; the EChO Shelter in Evergreen will be open every night from mid-October to April; and e Rising/Mission Arvada will be open when temperatures fall below 20 degrees and/or six inches of snow falls from November to the end of March.
Broom eld and Adams counties will continue to utilize the Severe Weather Activation Program, a hotel voucher system run by Brighton-based nonpro t Almost
Home for people who have documented ties to either of the two counties. ose vouchers are available when temperatures reach 32 degrees and wet, or 20 degrees and dry.
An email from HAAT Force Executive Director Sienna McGrath to community organizations also said that Mean Street Ministry in Lakewood has “served alongside SWSN and will continue to serve.”
A spokesperson for the City of Arvada “has paused plans” to use the recently purchased Early College of Arvada building as a severe weather shelter. e use of the building has been the source of public outcry since plans to use it as a homeless navigation center were publicized.
Albi said that Je erson County Public Health will be in charge of activating the Severe and Extreme Weather Action Plan due to “their expertise on safety and wellbeing in extreme temperatures.”
Many churches that were formerly part of SWSN refused to reopen their doors after the coordinating nonpro t shuttered, according to Cowling — though she added that some local churches, including Storyline Church, Arvada Vineyard and Spirit of Christ Catholic Church have agreed to aid with volunteering during nights where e Rising is activated for sheltering.
“If we open our building as a host site this season, we need them (other churches) to provide food donations and volunteers,” Cowling said.
“ e faith community of Arvada has been really supportive,” Mission Arvada Volunteer Coordinator Christine urston said. “ ey’re coming together to coordinate a weekly volunteer calendar for the months that we are open.”
urston also said that Je erson County approved the funding for two mobile cold weather warming stations that will be deployed in di erent cities when needed but added that the county wasn’t sure if they would be ready to deploy this winter.
A spokesperson for the county did not respond to multiple requests to con rm this information by press time.

Lakewood’s shy ‘turtle’ cat goes viral, melting hearts on TikTok
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Meet eodore, the irresistibly shy cat taking refuge at Lakewood’s Cat Care Society. With his adorable antics, eodore has taken the internet by storm.
Snuggling under a bean bag like a tiny turtle, his heartwarming journey to con dence has captivated nearly 2 million TikTok viewers, turning him into an overnight sensation and a fan favorite.
e original post, captioned “When you’re new to the oor, and you’re kind of shy,” shows eodore scurrying underneath a bean bag, implying the shy cat is trying not
to call attention to himself as he goes about his business.
A note taped to the bean bag reads, “Do not sit or step on me. My name is eodore, and I identify as a turtle and am under here.”

Ash-kicking invaders
How to spot and stop the emerald ash borer beetle in Lakewood
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Earlier this fall, Lakewood con rmed its rst case of emerald ash borer beetles — a tiny but destructive invader with a taste for North American ash trees. Spotted in a central Lakewood neighborhood, these beetles are known to drill distinctive D-shaped exit holes and leave behind S-shaped tunnels under the bark, ultimately spelling trouble for the region’s beloved trees.
Adult beetles lay their eggs on the bark of ash trees. When the larvae hatch, they burrow into the tree and feed on the inner bark, disrupting its ability to transport water and nutrients. e tree typically dies within two to four years of infestation.
According to Je erson County, ash trees account for around
15% of the trees in its urban forests. Losing these trees to invasive pests like the emerald ash borer has a ripple e ect, impacting the county’s ecosystem and also the well-being of its communities.
Ash trees provide essential environmental bene ts such as air puri cation, cooling shade and habitats for wildlife. e destructive insect was rst detected in Boulder in 2013 and has been spreading across the state ever since.
Infestations have already extended to Adams, Arapahoe, Broom eld and Larimer counties. is year’s sightings in Lakewood and Wheat Ridge are spurring Je erson County o cials to begin control measures to mitigate the potential damage.
Fortunately, residents can also take steps to protect
healthy ash trees, but early identi cation is crucial.
Identification and protection
Begin by identifying any ash trees on your property and examining them for signs of emerald ash borer infestation.
“Look for the distinctive Dshaped exit holes, bark splits and S-shaped tunnels called galleries underneath the bark, gradual canopy thinning and dieback, abnormal shoots of growth, smaller than normal leaves and heavy woodpecker activity,” said Lakewood Forestry Supervisor Luke Killoran.
If you think your tree has potential damage and an infestation, Killoran said it’s best to hire a certi ed arborist to assess the tree and determine if it’s not too late to treat it with an e ective insecticide.
“Buyer beware that there are
salesman out there who will say they can 100% save the tree and that may not be accurate,” he said.
If you have ash trees on your property that aren’t infected, it’s essential to treat them with insecticide to protect them. Killoran said the more trees treated while they’re healthy, the more the county can slow the beetle’s spread.
Removing infected trees
If a tree is infected with the ash borer beetle, Killoran recommends hiring a certi ed arborist to remove it immediately and dispose of it locally.
“Once the bug attacks these trees, they become extremely brittle and can fall over in a windstorm,” he said. “ ey also become hazardous for arborists to climb. If you have a 6080-foot tall tree that can’t be
reached from the street, you may have to pay to remove it with a crane, which is extremely expensive.”
To prevent the spread of the emerald ash borer to new areas, the arborist should entirely chip and dispose of the tree onsite rather than transporting the wood.
Also, Killoran said to never move rewood or other wood products made from ash trees, as this is likely the leading cause of accidental spread.
Visit Lakewood’s invasive insects website to learn more about protecting your trees or nding a a certi ed arborist.
Lakewood is also planning a sale in the spring, during which city residents can purchase up to three trees per address for $25 each. For more information, visit the Lakewood Loves Trees website.

Golden resident Matt Tedeschi tucked into his last plate of Café Prague sauerbraten Oct. 13 with a mix of satisfaction and sorrow. Tedeschi didn’t know it would be his last meal at the Morrison restaurant until he walked in that night and learned it was closing. He’s among several regulars shocked and saddened by the 20-year restaurant’s unexpected ending.
“It’s a tough loss,” said Tedeschi, who became an immediate fan after discovering the restaurant a few years ago. “I came 12 times in the rst month. I just went down the menu and each entree was excellent. I bring friends in here all the time, they ask what’s good and I say, ‘Literally everything.’ Nothing can replace this.”
Every table and seat at Café Prague was full the evening of Oct. 13, with some waiting outside in the chilly fall air for a late table and a last chance to dine there.
e upscale restaurant, which several of Sunday’s patrons described as not only the best in Morrison but for many miles around, served Czech food created by Czechoslovakiantrained chef Ales Zabilansky. It was reputed not only for its hearty comfort foods but cozy ambience.
Restaurant owner Dennis Cionetti declined to comment on Café Prague’s closing, but two patrons said the decision stemmed from a rent increase. Building owner Je Bradley said the lease expired and Cionetti did not want to renew.
“I hate to see it go,” said Ed Kautz, who lives in unincorporated Morrison and dined at Café Prague weekly. “We like ne dining and we don’t want to go too far. I like the food, the atmosphere, the sta , everything. When the kids came to visit, we’d have a big dinner in the back here. I’m not sure what we’re going to do to replace it.”
Bartender Logan Brayer poured wine and shook cocktails at a fast pace, but it wasn’t
enough to distract him from the reality of the restaurant’s closure. Brayer, a Green Mountain High School graduate, started at the restaurant as a 16-year-old busboy and worked his way up to bartending. He doesn’t think he’ll nd the same experience working at any other restaurant.
“I feel melancholy,” he said, as closing time approached. “It’s such an awesome place. e clientele is unmatched. I have genuine friendships in the people I’ve met here.”
Adam Starr, a resident of the nearby Solterra neighborhood, said Café Prague was also his go-to choice for dining out.
“Embarrassingly, we’ve come at least once a week for the last seven years,” he said. “We’d put this place up against any restaurant in Denver. I’m really disappointed we won’t get to spend another Christmas season here. We’re very sad to see such a
Prague’s closing.
“It’s been a nice run; they’ve done a nice job for 20 years,” he said. “We’re trying to get another high-quality restaurant in there.”
Cafe Prague opened in Georgetown in 1999, moving to Morrison in 2004. Original proprietor Tomas Stribal sold it to his childhood friend and Prague native Cionetti in 2016. e 1876 stone structure that housed the restaurant was once owned by Morrison pioneer and Bradley’s great-grandfather John Ross. Bradley and his family undertook a two-year reconstruction of the building in 2001.

Feeling the election stress? Here’s how to stay calm amid political tensions
As anxiety rises before Nov. 5, a local expert shares tips to maintain your well-being
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SGLASSMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
If you’re feeling stressed about the upcoming election, you’re not alone. Mental health professionals are seeing a spike in election-related stress, with concerns ranging from political divisions to uncertainty about the future.
“I’m hearing and seeing people who are anxious and stressed about what’s going to happen,” said Randi Smith a psychology professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. “ ere is a general sense of uncertainty and fear among some that things are going to fall apart to such a degree that they are questioning if they can even make plans in November.”
All that election-related distress is negatively impacting the country’s mental health. Results of three national surveys found that close to half of U.S. adults say politics is a signi cant source of stress, citing problems such as lost sleep, shortened tempers and obsessive thoughts.
While political anxiety may be unavoidable, especially if you’re surrounded by family, friends or neighbors with opposing views, the good news is that there are practical steps you can take to keep your sanity leading up to and after Nov. 5.
Take screen breaks
Smith said it’s essential to recognize that our social media feeds and the news we tune into tend to reinforce our belief systems.
“ ese belief systems have become increasingly polarized over the last eight or 10 years to the point where we don’t all necessarily live in the same reality, and there tends to be a lot of demonizing people who don’t share the belief system,” she said.
To avoid catastrophizing about the worst-case scenario if the “other side” wins, Smith recommends setting boundaries around screen time and recognizing when one’s thoughts begin to spiral.
“If you do go online, aim for dispassionate observations rather than heated, front-line engagement,” Smith said.
“Most of all, remember this: Although social platforms give prominence to the most extreme views, most vehement arguments and most radical takedowns, that’s only because they are controversy aggregators and outrage is their business model.
“Such outlooks are not necessarily representative of most people’s actual beliefs,” Smith continued.
Cultivate perspective
While it may feel safer to avoid those who disagree with you or express oppos-
ing views, Smith said having conversations with others helps us see we have more in common than we think and that exaggerated hyperbolic rhetoric doesn’t re ect the views of most Americans across the aisle.
Also, give yourself the freedom to step away from political discussions and remember what connected you in the rst place. Spending time with family or friends while leaving politics o the table cultivates connection, which is important for our mental health.
“We need to recognize that just because somebody might vote di erently, it doesn’t mean that they’re bad people,” she said.
Connect with your support system
“We should never underestimate the value and importance of social support. If you’re feeling stressed about the political process, nding others with similar viewpoints could be a real comfort,”
Yet, be careful not to spend too much time in groups that reinforce our sense of
“We de nitely need the support of other people who are like-minded, especially when the world feels threatening,” Smith said. “But when we nd ourselves in conversations stuck on the threat of what could happen, it heightens our fear
Instead, she says to focus on ways to make a di erence in your home or community and nd ways to create a sense of agency in a world that can seem out of control. at could be nding a cause to support, building relationships with people who are both like and unlike you or taking action within your community.
Find sources of comfort and focus on what
Smith said the rst step in stopping the cycle of catastrophizing is to recognize that you’re doing it and that going down that rabbit hole will be awful and then to nd sources of comfort.
“For some, it might be spiritual or faithbased. For other people, it might be more cognitive, like mindfulness-based meditation. Certainly, social relationships for almost everybody are really good,” she said.
Smith also recommends nding sources of distraction, like reading a book, going for a hike or watching a movie. While physical activity is great for relieving anxiety and depression, she said it won’t have the same e ect if you’re on the treadmill with headphones on watching MSNB or Fox News.
It’s also not healthy to spend all of our time focused on the results of an election that we can’t control.
Instead, Smith said, “We have to step away from the macro level of the election and think about your values and how you can contribute to sustaining them and improving the things that are important to us closer to home.”
Surveys show election-related stress is at an all-time high.
SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
It was a Christmas night like the ones over the years. Close to three dozen of us gathered into our family’s eight hundred square foot house. e little ones played in the cellar and the older kids mingled with the adults who congregated mainly in the dining room, where we sang songs like “Pu , the Magic Dragon,” “Blowin’ in the Wind,” and “Deck the Halls” as Dominick — sister Helen’s husband and family Chet Atkins — played guitar.
My mother, who had taken refuge in her bedroom for a while, emerged and surveyed the scene. “Sing ‘Joy to the World,’” she said
On cue, one of her teenage grandsons let loose with “Jeremiah was a bullfrog!” He was quickly joined by his siblings and cousins who nished the verse and then the chorus, wishing joy to everyone, even the sh in the deep blue sea, and ending with “Joy to you and me.” eir grandma smiled and shook her head while the rest of us roared. It was moment of family joy.
In “Desert Solitaire,” Edward Abby speculates about the role joy might’ve played in evolution. Interestingly he writes about joy in context of the spadefoot toads’ croaking, whose vocalizations are not exactly harmonious to the human ear. Abbey wonders whether their croaking is more than about attracting a mate or communicating with neighbors. Perhaps it’s done, he muses, out of “spontaneous love and joy, a contrapuntal choral celebration” celebrating the recent rainfall after an extended dry period. And possibly out of love for their existence and everyday life.

Joy to you and me
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Why I support Wheat Ridge Measure 2C
What? A song about the joy of life? Better yet, how about a symphony? Like Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy?”
Joy is experiencing a revival, strangely because of politics. Now there’s an anomaly: mean-spirited politics making bedfellows with joy. More than pause; it jolts because joy hasn’t just been divorced from politics, it’s been ostracized, expelled, exiled, like Napolean to Elba. We can debate whether joy’s demise is a cause of our social-political miasma or the result of sinister forces seeking to crush it, but I’ll leave that to you to consider.
In “Finding Joy and Engaging in the Dance of Life,” Allison Abrams states that studies show about half of human happiness is genetically predisposed and ten percent circumstantial. at means we control forty percent of our happiness quotient. And that means each of us has plenty of space to amp it up. But, she says, it takes hard work and a strong willingness to make it happen. Nonetheless, evidence shows happiness and, by extension, joy is largely a choice. Which means if you’re not feeling it and there are no painful circumstances preventing it, consider taking a good look into your psychological mirror. Abbey believes joy is correlated to the survival rate in evolution. He avers the morose and fearful eventually go extinct because courage depends on joy. Without courage, animals—Sapiens included— shrink, tremble, and hide in terror. It’s hard to feel happy and joyful if you’re waiting
for a bomb to explode or if you’re a target for hate, yet our friends in the animal kingdom seem to feel it in spite of their fraught environment, like the frogs and toads who croak incessantly despite the presence of predators like snakes, owls and whatnot.
When I read Abbey’s musings, I wondered whether there was a link between them and ree Dog Night’s “Joy to the World,” since Abbey published “Desert Solitaire” in 1968 and TDN’s hit followed two years later. But I found no evidence to support that. Nevertheless, it seems too coincidental that Abbey and Hoyt Axton, who wrote the song, correlated joy with croaking toads and frogs. Happy little critters, it seems, despite many of them destined to be dinner or objects for experimentation by high school biology students.
Joy is happiness on steroids. As such, it’s a high, an upper. Even though it’s short-lived like any high, it leaves an imprint, an indelible etching in the psyche. Like a healthy diet, it’s needed. Although Abbey wasn’t a psychologist or evolutionary scientist, he put his nger on an essential truth: ere’s a strong correlation between long-term survival and one’s sense of happiness and joy. It’s from that we can meet life head on with undaunted courage.
Mum’s joy was evinced by the one Christmas song she requested. Not “Silent Night” or “Adeste Fidelis,” but “Joy to the World.” Even though her grandkids hijacked her request, we knew she felt it. We were her family. And that’s where she found joy.

‘Dracula’ gets a feminist revision at Arvada Center
ram Stoker’s “Dracula” is easily one of the most well-known stories in the world, one that brought the idea of vampires to the masses. And culture has never been the same since.
Over the centuries, there have been numerous ri s on this classic tale, but not many have the sharpness — both in wit and societal commentary — that Kate Hamill’s “Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really,” carries. And now that show is swooping into the Arvada Center, just in time for spooky season.
“ e show is very much rooted in Stoker’s book, but audiences will get really cool twists on who end up being the protagonists in the play,” said Lance Rasmussen, who plays Jonathan Harker. “In the play, this historically terrible monster of a person is met by strong-willed and determined women who work to stop him.”
Directed by Carolyn Howarth, “Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really,” runs at the Arvada Center’s Black Box eatre, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, Nov. 3. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday, and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
e show is an over-the-top (in the best way), gory and hilarious retelling of the Dracula story, one that takes the Victorian tropes of women’s role in society and turns them on their head.
“We decided to really lean into the
camp aspect of the show, especially because we found some of the darker moments hit harder when they’re paired with the camp style,” Rasmussen said. “I think this is the kind of show people aren’t used to seeing in the theater. It’s a lot more cinematic, and the humor and styling are much more of a pop horror approach.”
While staging the show, there were the typical challenges, but “Dracula” is unique in all the special e ects puzzles that needed solving, including how the sprays of blood would work. All the gore and humor are not simply present for entertainment’s sake, but to help underscore the play’s key point, which is the way societal systems can be harmful to everybody.
“It’s not men against women, but instead is everybody against these problematic systems that exploit everyone,” Rasmussen said. “We want people to be thinking by the play’s end and maybe wonder what they can do to change the systems they’re involved in.”

Osi Sladek shares story of Holocaust survival at the Arvada Center
As time goes on, we’re losing more and more eye-witness survivors of the Holocaust, which means it’s crucially important to amplify their voices while they’re still willing to share their stories. In that spirit, the Arvada Center is partnering with Chabad of NW Metro Denver to present An Evening Remembering the Holocaust featuring Osi Sladek. e event will be held at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Samara Joy at the Paramount Theatre
We don’t really get jazz singers making a big splash the way they used to these days, which is a shame, because a really great jazz singer can absolutely rock you back if you let them. New York City’s Samara Joy is a great jazz singer, one who is helping to lead the way for a new generation of young jazz vocalists. In 2023, she won the Grammy for Best New Artist, and she’s just released her lovely third album, “Portrait.”
In support of the record, Joy will be stopping by the Paramount eatre, 1621 Glenarm Place in Denver, at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30. If you’ve listened to any of Joy’s music, you know that a venue like the Paramount is perfect for her. Get tickets at www.ticketmaster.com.

Je co Commission District 1
Eric Bodenstab
Residence: Arvada
Profession: Engineer
About me:
Originally from California, but I have lived here for 22 years. Since then I have earned two master’s degrees from Colorado universities (in disparate elds). I got married in 2019 and have two boys in Je co schools. I have been involved in politics since running in 2007 for Boulder City Council. I lived in downtown Denver for a decade, but am now at home in Je co. I serve on the Colorado HS Water Polo Association Board and as Den Leader for my son’s Cub Scout Pack.
For more information: Eric4Je co.com
With the Quarry Fire and others along the Front Range this summer, how would you work to mitigate wild re danger in Golden, Evergreen, Conifer and other Je erson County foothills communities?
More water storage could allow for quicker responses to drought-induced burns. Also, Payment in Lieu of Taxes funds from the Feds should be used for Jeffco’s re district responses. We should be getting more money from the state to fund our re districts. Prevention is key and the Community Wild re Protection Plan (CWPP) by Je co provides a detailed plan that can be funded, implemented and better distributed to our residents. Broadcast prescribed burning and mechanical thinning or slashing can lower fuel continuity, thereby limiting potential spreading of wild res in west Je co.
What do you feel are the biggest infrastructure needs facing the county? How would you deal with those?
ere is one interstate and several rail lines that run through Je co. I am as prepared as any candidate to address project speci c issues and expedite funded construction. is could include the NW Parkway. I have biked one time from my home in Arvada to my work in DTC, and bike transportation is usually not feasible for most. I applaud those who do, and I did for the rst 7 years as a Coloradan. Water, stormwater, water treatment, and water utilities also are critical to environmentally responsible development. With my background in civil engineering, I can provide technical insight there too.
Should Je erson County have property tax caps for homeowners? Why or why not?
Probably. But the real culprit is Metro Districts, which don’t go to fund county
of the Lutheran Legacy Plan which will guide future development.
e plan calls for bringing open space, housing, and civic and cultural development to the 100-acre campus in central Wheat Ridge. It requires lower-height housing around the perimeter of the current campus to ensure that the new development ts in with surrounding neighborhoods. And it calls for slightly taller mixed-use buildings in the center of the campus to provide opportunity for a diversity of housing and uses. It is important to note that the proposed maxi-
services. And possibly these property taxes are paying for the pipes in the ground twice. I would be very hesitant to approve any of these new districts in Je co, and provide a voice of reason on what would otherwise be a unanimous 3-0 vote for their approval. Commissioners are able to establish a oor (min. # of houses) for acceptability, a low mill-levy cap (paid to the developers), and proper disclosures to potential buyers. Most residents in these districts nd out about their obligated debt too late.
What would your priorities for the county be if elected?
Proportional representation. As many as 11 commissioners could provide a voice for 98% of voters in the county. “Pro rep” is fair representation, and their are no wasted votes. 53 of 64 counties in Colorado are one-party dominant, and those in the minority – a million plus Coloradans – are not included in the decision-making of the legislative bodies. Commissioners are more executive by nature, but could be restored to representatives at the same time with this system. To institute this system, (2) commissioners would have to put Home Rule on the Ballot, and from there particulars can be determined.
What should the county do to address homelessness?
As Rachel pointed out, there is no Jeffco housing authority, however programs from the state can be utilized. Addictiontreatment and workforce training are other aspects. I am not going to lie: homelessness is a hard nut to crack. I would hate to waste a lot of money on individuals who would prefer to be homeless. At the same time, as government o cials we are expected to be helpful and kind to all our residents, sheltered or not. I would engage with partner organizations, CCD, other municipalities to have a multi-tier program to get those –who want to be o the street – o .
mum height for buildings in the center of the campus islower than the current height of the now-vacant hospital building that we’ve all been living with since long before the city was founded. e goal is to carefully and seamlessly integrate this redevelopment into the surrounding neighborhood to enhance and strengthen our community, while maintaining the character that makes Wheat Ridge a great place to live, work and play. I plan to call this community home for a long time to come and I’m excited about the opportunities to bring vital new investments to central Wheat Ridge. I voted YES on 2C to take the next step toward that shared vision of an even stronger community. Join me!

Colorado’s byways o er views, history
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Some might say that what’s important is the journey, not the destination — and if you travel in Colorado, you might encounter roads that are considered “destinations unto themselves.”
ose include a couple of Colorado’s more than two dozen designated byways: signi cant roads that are, for many Coloradans, o the beaten path. Around the state, those roads are marked as byways because they hold archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational or scenic qualities.
“We protect those intrinsic qualities,” said Lenore Bates, who manages Colorado’s byways program.
e routes drive economic activity, too. e roads attract travelers, said Bates, adding that they can be “like a bucket list” item.
“Just like the national parks,” Bates said. People “will arrive just to do that byway.” e routes mark the map around Colorado, with some falling close to Denver and others sitting a longer drive away. Here’s a look at the state’s byways system and information about the roads.
Decades of byways
Colorado’s Scenic and Historic Byways program works to protect and promote the byways, Bates said.
Nationally, in the 1960s, “there was a lot of interest in outdoor recreation, and then in the 70s, it got put on the back burner,” Bates said.
Colorado’s byways program started in 1989, Bates said.
At the federal level, the National Scenic Byways program was created in 1991. It’s an e ort to help recognize, preserve and enhance selected roads around the country, according to a federal news release.
ere are 13 of Colorado’s 26 byways designated at the federal level as America’s Byways, which gives Colorado more national designations than any other state, according to the state program’s webpage.
‘Grassroots’ involvement
Each of Colorado’s byways has its own local organization that helps take care of and oversee the roads.
ose groups can fall under other entities, such as a county, a national park or national heritage area, or they could be a nonpro t, Bates said.
“So they’re very grassroots,” Bates said, adding: “A lot of them are, of course, volunteers who have full-time jobs.”
Byway groups might be involved in making updates to outdated resources, a visitor center or a rest area, for example.
“We’re trying to get everything ADA accessible or accessible for people who need visual resources,” Bates said, referring to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
One challenge the byways community faces is updating the kiosks — boards with historical information that people can pull over and read, Bates said.
“Unfortunately, a lot of those stories are outdated, and the language is not always up to current view,” Bates said. “And they might be missing somebody’s story on that storyline — it might be one-sided. So we’re trying to get those stories updated slowly. It’s a huge endeavor.”
“We need to get tribal input and other organizations to give those stories,” she added.
Overall, Colorado’s byways program is managed by a governor-appointed commission of up to 15 members, including representatives from a variety of government bodies, Bates said.
Money for taking care of Colorado’s byways comes from a mix of federal and state government sources, as well as local fundraising, Bates said.
‘All-American’ travel
Some byways get a special designation as an “All-American Road.”
To be highlighted with that title, a byway must meet criteria for at least two of the “intrinsic” qualities that are nationally signi cant and have one-of-a-kind features that do not exist elsewhere, according to the federal byways webpage.
“ e road or highway must also be considered a ‘destination unto itself,’” the webpage says. “ at is, the road must provide an exceptional traveling experience so recognized by travelers that they would make a drive along the (road) a primary reason for their trip.”
Colorado has two All-American Roads: Trail Ridge Road, running between Estes Park and Grand Lake, and San Juan Skyway, which runs in the Durango and Telluride areas.
In general, the last time Colorado designated a new byway was in 2014, when Tracks Across Borders Byway was designated between Durango and Chama, New Mexico, Bates said.
Colorado’s byways include paved and unpaved roads. All of them have access to local recreation, such as trailheads, state parks or national parks, Bates said.
“Some of them have parallel paths on a portion of the corridor — for example, along the West Elk Loop is the Crystal Valley Trail” in the Carbondale area, Bates said.
Some of the byways host cycling events, such as Ride the Rockies, Bates added.

Millions of aging Americans are facing dementia by themselves
BY JUDITH GRAHAM KFF HEALTH NEWS
Sociologist Elena Portacolone was taken aback. Many of the older adults in San Francisco she visited at home for a research project were confused when she came to the door. ey’d forgotten the appointment or couldn’t remember speaking to her.
It seemed clear they had some type of cognitive impairment. Yet they were living alone.
Portacolone, an associate professor at the University of California-San Francisco, wondered how common this was. Had anyone examined this group? How were they managing?
When she reviewed the research literature more than a decade ago, there was little there. “I realized this is a largely invisible population,” she said.
Portacolone got to work and now leads the Living Alone With Cognitive Impairment Project at UCSF. e project estimates that that at least 4.3 million people 55 or older who have cognitive impairment or dementia live alone in the United States.
About half have trouble with daily activities such as bathing, eating, cooking, shopping, taking medications, and managing money, according to their research. But only 1 in 3 received help with at least one such activity.
Compared with other older adults who live by themselves, people living alone with cognitive impairment are older, more likely to be women, and disproportionately Black or Latino, with lower levels of education, wealth, and homeown-
ership. Yet only 21% qualify for publicly funded programs such as Medicaid that pay for aides to provide services in the home.
In a health care system that assumes older adults have family caregivers to help them, “we realized this population is destined to fall through the cracks,” Portacolone said.
Imagine what this means. As memory and thinking problems accelerate, these seniors can lose track of bills, have their electricity shut o , or be threatened with eviction. ey might stop shopping (it’s too overwhelming) or cooking (it’s too hard to follow recipes). Or they might be unable to communicate clearly or navigate automated phone systems.
A variety of other problems can ensue, including social isolation, malnutrition, self-neglect, and susceptibility to scams. Without someone to watch over them, older adults on their own may experience worsening health without anyone noticing or struggle with dementia without ever being diagnosed.
Should vulnerable seniors live this way?
For years, Portacolone and her collaborators nationwide have followed nearly 100 older adults with cognitive impairment who live alone. She listed some concerns people told researchers they worried most about: “Who do I trust? When is the next time I’m going to forget? If I think I need more help, where do I nd it? How do I hide my forgetfulness?”
Jane Lowers, an assistant professor at the Emory University School of Medicine, has been studying “kinless” adults
Denise Baker, a former CIA analyst, lives alone in a 100-year-old house in Asheville, North Carolina. She has cognitive problems related to a stroke 28 years ago, Alzheimer’s disease, and serious vision impairment. With help from a few artist friends, she throws ceramic pots about six days a week. “I’m a very independent person and I find that I want to do everything I possibly can for myself,” Baker says. “It makes me feel better about myself.”
in the early stages of dementia — those without a live-in partner or children nearby. eir top priority, she told me, is “remaining independent for as long as possible.”
Seeking to learn more about these seniors’ experiences, I contacted the National Council of Dementia Minds. e organization last year started a biweekly online group for people living alone with dementia. Its sta ers arranged a Zoom conversation with ve people, all with early-to-moderate dementia.
One was Kathleen Healy, 60, who has signi cant memory problems and lives alone in Fresno, California.
“One of the biggest challenges is that people don’t really see what’s going on with you,” she said. “Let’s say my house is a mess or I’m sick or I’m losing track of my bills. If I can get myself together, I can walk out the door and nobody knows what’s going on.”
An administrator with the city of Fresno for 28 years, Healy said she had to retire in 2019 “because my brain stopped working.” With her pension, she’s able to cover her expenses, but she doesn’t have signi cant savings or assets.
Healy said she can’t rely on family members who have troubles of their own. (Her 83-year-old mother has dementia and lives with Healy’s sister.)
e person who checks on her most frequently is an ex-boyfriend.
“I don’t really have anybody,” she said, choking up.
Denise Baker, 80, a former CIA analyst, lives in a 100-year-old house in Asheville, North Carolina, with her dog, Yolo. She has cognitive problems related to a stroke 28 years ago, Alzheimer’s disease, and serious vision impairment that prevents her from driving. Her adult daughters live in Massachusetts and Colorado.
“I’m a very independent person, and I nd that I want to do everything I possibly can for myself,” Baker told me, months before Asheville was ravaged by severe ooding. “It makes me feel better about myself.”
She was lucky in the aftermath of Hur-
ricane Helene: Baker lives on a hill in West Asheville that was untouched by oodwaters. In the week immediately after the storm, she lled water jugs every day at an old well near her house and brought them back in a wheelbarrow. ough her power was out, she had plenty of food and neighbors looked in on her.
“I’m absolutely ne,” she told me on the phone in early October after a member of Dementia Friendly Western North Carolina drove to Baker’s house to check in on her, upon my request. Baker is on the steering committee of that organization.
Baker once found it hard to ask for assistance, but these days she relies routinely on friends and hired help. A few examples: Elaine takes her grocery shopping every Monday. Roberta comes once a month to help with her mail and nances. Jack mows her lawn. Helen offers care management advice. Tom, a cab driver she connected with through Buncombe County’s transportation program for seniors, is her go-to guy for errands. Her daughter Karen in Boston has the authority to make legal and health care decisions when Baker can no longer do so. When that day comes — and Baker knows it will — she expects her longterm care insurance policy to pay for home aides or memory care. Until then, “I plan to do as much as I can in the state I’m in,” she said.
Much can be done to better assist older adults with dementia who are on their own, said Elizabeth Gould, co-director of the National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center at RTI International, a nonpro t research institute. “If health care providers would just ask ‘Who do you live with?’” she said, “that could open the door to identifying who might need more help.”

Regulators pass new rules on oil and gas drilling
Agency calling move “a big step forward” but critics doubtful
BY MARK JAFFE THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado oil and gas regulators passed sweeping rules to deal with the cumulative impacts of drilling and hailed it as “a big step forward.”
But legislators, environmentalists and community groups criticized the regulations for failing to protect vulnerable communities.
After a year of hearings and drafts, the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission adopted about 60 pages of rules to assess and mitigate the impacts of oil and gas drilling projects — an exercise the commission was mandated to do by the legislature.
“ is has been a herculean e ort,” ECMC Chairman Je Robbins said. “We have the most protective oil and gas regulations in the nation, and this builds on that foundation. It puts in place even stronger protections for Colorado families.”
Critics did not see it that way. “Doesn’t require any more than is required now and it creates a roadmap for how an operator can drill in disproportionately impacted communities,” said Michael Freeman, an attorney for the environmental group Earthjustice. ese communities are low-income, of color, have vulnerable populations or face disproportionate environmental burdens.
“It’s time we prioritize health,” said Rachael Lehman, environmental justice coordinator for Black Parents United Foundation. “For too long economic impacts have been the only metric for success

and been a guiding principle in permitting.”
One major point of contention was a requirement in a June draft that an operator seeking to drill within 2,000 feet of homes in a disproportionately impacted community, or DIC, obtain the consent of every resident.
e provision drew re from the industry, which argued it could make the development of oil and gas reserves near impossible. It was dropped in the August draft upon which the nal rules are based.
at move drew a letter from 22 legislators saying the August draft o ered inadequate protections to disproportionately impact communities, failing to meet the goals set by state law.
In 2020, the commission adopted a rule requiring a 2,000-foot setback of drilling from homes and schools, unless an operator added measures that o ered “substantially equivalent” protections as provided by the setback.
In the past two years, however, nearly half of the 87 oil and gas development plans approved on the Front Range, primarily in the shale-rich DJ Basin, were within 2,000 feet of homes, according to the ECMC’s annual evaluation of cumulative impacts.
“ e commission adopted a setback in 2020 with great fanfare, but they haven’t been enforcing it,” said Freeman, the Earthjustice attorney.
Most drilling will be in disproportionately impacted communities
In testimony during the cumulative impacts hearings, Julia Rhine, an attorney representing Civitas Resources, said “just because of the nature of the DJ Basin and where mineral resources are located … lots of locations, perhaps the majority of locations we believe will be in DICs.”
State Rep. Elizabeth Velasco, a Glenwood Springs Democrat and sponsor of a cumulative impacts and environmental justice law and a signatory of the critical letter to the commission, said the rules fall short of protecting vulnerable communities.

“We did hear that a couple things were addressed around the bu er zones and environmental justice, but there are still things that concern us,” Velasco said. “We have to continue to work on legislation. If they can’t do this through rulemaking we are going to have to have more prescriptive legislation.”
e rules require operators to assess the impacts of their drill sites within a mile of their pads and for water resources up to 2½ miles away, 5 miles if it potentially impacts drinking water supplies.
e problem is that it leases the role of assessing cumulative impacts to oil and gas operators who have no environmental or health expertise but do have a bias, said Heidi Leathwood, a climate policy analyst with the environmental group 350 Colorado.
Leathwood also criticized the decision to limit the scope of the assessment to a mile “despite receiving evidence that fracking emissions are linked to health impacts well over one mile away from oil and gas facilities.”
To mitigate impacts, the rules call for best management practices and enhanced systems and practices — where applicable.
e ECMC will also help the Air Pollution Control Division enforce the division’s methane intensity rule, which puts a limit on emission per barrel of oil and gas equivalent produced.
e rules create the position of com-
“ e procedural measures for disproportionately impacted communities, and the air pollution intensity regulations are steps in the right direction,” said Andrew Forkes-Gudmundson, senior manager for state policy at Earthworks. “But without substantive protections and quotative limits, procedure protections do not mean a whole lot in practice.”
Goalposts “repeatedly moved” over five years of rulemaking
e response from industry was mixed.
“ e suite of rules adopted today is the result of a statutory directive to further protect disproportionately impacted communities and we are hopeful they will function as intended,” Kait Schwartz, director of API Colorado, a trade group, said in a statement.
But Schwartz added that the industry has faced ve years in constant rulemaking while “state lawmakers have repeatedly moved the goalposts on regulatory regime.”
e Colorado Oil and Gas Association, the state’s largest trade group, said in a statement that while the new rule is “a notable improvement from the original draft, the commission continues to make it increasingly di cult for smaller oil and gas companies in Colorado to operate by, once again, adding endless obstacles in the permitting process.”

A remembrance of Jim Green, who helped millions ‘hoooold on’ at DIA
Denver-based sound artist died in September
BY KATHRYN CHARLES SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Jim Green was a towering gure in the art world, known mostly for his public art sound sculptures in airports, city sidewalks, and museums.
On Sept. 11, Jim slipped away from Earth in the same manner he approached his art: subtly catching us all by surprise through his positive a rmations, greetings and unexpected sounds that brought joy to passersby.
Jim Green, a CU graduate with a masters in ne arts, was the “Mr. Rogers” of the art world.
Green was probably the rst to record creative messages for public transportation, including the greetings on the train at Denver International Airport, on rapid transit in Salt Lake City, and in Fort Collins.
Jim instructed us to “HOLD ON, the train is departing,” using the voices of Alan Roach, Reynelda Muse, Peyton Manning and Lindsay Vonn. His chimes between messages were homemade from various plumbing pipes and early synthesizers.
Green’s notable “Singing Sinks” at the Denver Art Museum revolutionized the public’s experience of hand washing when they unexpectedly triggered a trio of three sinks singing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.”
Green recorded all the sounds con-
nected to the Martin Luther King Memorial in Denver’s City Park, where people gather annually on King’s birthday for the annual MLK ‘Marade’ down Colfax to Civic Center Park.
Jim loved working with the sound of water, and his “Talking Drinking Fountains” in Seattle’s Airport continues to amuse thirsty travelers.
“Sound Walk” along Curtis Street next to Denver’s Federal Reserve building transported pedestrians from their heady thoughts through recordings of subway trains, yodeling, and cow mooing mysteriously seeping out of sidewalk grates.
Visitors attending a multitude of Colorado Convention Center gatherings enjoyed
the sound of laughter on a usually boring escalator ride up to the second oor. e “Talking Trash Cans” in front of the Arvada Center welcomed visitors with greetings of positive a rmations including “I like your shoes,” or “You look great today!”
Perhaps one of the most complicated projects was Green’s “Talking Parking Meters” placed in the market place at Denver’s Central Park. Coins went toward Hickenlooper’s Road Home Project bene ting unhoused people.
“Unplugged,” installed in Denver’s Museum of Contemporary Art, consisted of pneumatic compressors activating the rich, various noises of Whoopie Cushions pressed automatically under plexiglass, again triggered by motion. It is one of the museum’s most successful longrunning exhibitions.
“ e Red Phone” installed at Redline made a direct connection with Green, who was willing to talk to his audience one at a time, live.
Jim Green was listening.
Jim Green was a keen observer of human nature peculiarity. His early recordings and research led him to travel the country one summer to document the sounds of amusement parks and state fairs. He amassed a catalogue of people working at sideshows, recording their shticks and their stories.
Green’s positive spin on a dark world brought a little more humanity to our lives. His message to the world was clear, concise, positive and playful. He reminded us to be present, listen to the world around us, and most of all, not take ourselves too seriously.
Jim Green, who created sound designs in public spaces around the Denver metro area, died Sept. 11. COURTESY OF KATHRYN CHARLES

LITTLETON — Chat eld’s softball team made history Saturday, Oct. 12.
For the rst time since the late-1990s (1996 and 1997), the Chargers captured back-to-back conference championships.
Chat eld’s marathon — 2 hours and 30-minute — league nale ended with the Chargers taking a 15-9 home victory over Bear Creek to o cially defend their Class 5A Je co League title.
“It means so much,” Chat eld senior Kylie Bickford said of the second consecutive league title. “We worked so hard to make sure we could come out and win league. We did everything we needed to do to win.”
Chat eld (17-6 record) and Valor Christian (19-4) actually nished tied in the league standings with 10-2 marks. e Chargers and Eagles split their two headto-head league games, but Chat eld won the ‘runs allowed’ tiebreaker with Valor by a single run. e Chargers allowed 17 runs in their two meeting with the Eagles, while Valor gave up 18 runs in the two games against Chat eld.
Bear Creek (6-17, 1-11) didn’t make it easy on Chat eld. e Bears actually held a lead for the majority of the game. ey were up 8-6 on the Chargers thanks to a 4-run top of the third inning.
“It was a tough week with a lot of distractions, Senior Day and homecoming week,” Chat eld coach Darin Shepard said. “We knew it would be a struggle to be completely focused, but we got the job done.” e game started with an emotional rst-pitch thrown by senior Kendall Holloway. e senior pitcher would have been Chat eld’s ace this season, but an injury — torn ACL — that required surgery the summer shelved Holloway for her entire senior season.
Holloway threw one pitch on Senior Day to the Bears’ lead-o batter Olivia Durazzo to start the game. Holloway received plenty of hugs after the rst pitch as freshman Isabella Leech took the mound.
Leech pitched two innings allowing four runs and six hits. Sophomore Kayla Harpstreith came in on the mound in the third inning and struggled early giving up four runs on two hitting and walking three batters in the third inning.
Harpstreith was able to nd a good rhythm on the mound from the fourth inning on. She allowed just one run on four hits and closed out the game retiring the Bears in order in the top of the seventh inning.
“She (Harpstreith) is a competitor,” Shepard said of his sophomore pitcher who picked up the win in relief. “She may not throw the hardest or have the most movement on her pitches, but she competes.”
Chat eld’s o ense has been the driving force to the Chargers after starting the season with back-to-back losses. e Chargers have 14 double-digit run games. It was the same story Saturday as Chateld scored multiple runs in every inning against Bear Creek.

“ is is one of the more consistent (offensive) games we’ve had scoring two or three runs every inning. at is what this team is capable of,” Shepard said. “If we clean-up our defense and get good pitching we can make a run.”
Bickford led the way going 3-for-5 from ed to,” Bickford said of the 13-hit, 15-run attack. “We did really good not getting down when (Bear Creek) scored.”

National movement aims to create inclusion for all children, but some criticize it
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNTIYMEDIA.COM
A jack-o’-lantern candy bucket is an essential when it comes to trick-or-treating. And through the years, the di erent colored candy buckets have taken on speci c meanings with a goal to bring awareness to various medical conditions. However, some of the movements have gained criticism.
e idea of inclusion was the premise of the Blue Bucket for Autism , which stems from 2018 after a parent posted on Facebook that her autistic son would be trick-or-treating with a blue bucket. It ignited a national movement.
Movements aimed at bringing awareness are wonderful, said Keri Sawyer, a child therapist and owner of Bloom Child erapists in Parker. But, parents shouldn’t feel like they have to take part, she added.
“I don’t think that at any point a child or their parents should feel like they need to have a speci c color bucket or disclose any speci c information about their child in order to receive empathy and acceptance,” said Sawyer.
While the movement was created to promote awareness for trick-or-treaters with autism and those who are nonspeaking, some say that children shouldn’t have to “advertise” their medical diagnosis just to be included fairly.
“If our children could thrive on good intentions, then the blue ‘autism’ Halloween buckets would be a wild success,” said Brittany Yarbrough, a Littleton mom. “Unfortunately, that’s just not how it works.”
Yarbrough understands the challenges as her son has motor planning di culties and hypotonia, a condition that causes decreased muscle tone.
Autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability and impacts one’s social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. It a ects one in 36 children, according to the National Autism Association. While autism varies person to person, about 40% of children with autism do not speak.
Elizabeth Bennet, a psychologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado, said Halloween can be di cult for a lot of people for various reasons, including it being a change of routine or it creating social anxiety. While she believes the idea of the colored buckets movement can be helpful to raise awareness for certain medical conditions or disabilities, she doesn’t think that trick-or-treaters should have to carry some sort of marker that identies their diagnosis in order to have the same access that every other child does on Halloween.
“In my imaginary ideal world, everybody has awareness that we don’t know each other’s whole story, and that people can behave di erently for a lot of di erent reasons, and that we don’t get to set expectations for other people,” said Bennet. “We don’t live in that ideal world yet.”
Jessica Vestal, whose son is nonverbal and has trouble performing tasks, has watched as adults have told her son, “no candy until you say trick-or-treat!”
“Whether they are unable to say trick-
Other color meanings
Children may carry a di erent colored bucket because it’s their favorite color. But, these colors have taken on meanings. For example, pink for breast cancer awareness and red for driving under the in uence.
In 2012, after facing challenges due to having epilepsy, a young boy in Connecticut wanted to raise awareness for the medical condition. He decided to paint a pumpkin purple and his family shared it on Facebook. With more than 3.4 million people living with epilepsy in the country, the initiative soon gained national recognition and the Epilepsy Foundation launched the Purple Pumpkin Project.
Colored pumpkins can also be seen on people’s front porches to indicate to trick-or-treaters and their families that it is an inclusive home. Besides the traditional orange pumpkins, another common color to see is teal.
e Teal Pumpkin Project was created to promote food safety and inclusion of those who have food allergies.
or-treat, have to use an AAC device, have no way to say it at all or are carrying a specially-colored pumpkin, each kid deserves to participate in something fun,” said Vestal.
Both Vestal and Yarbrough believe the movement was created with good intentions, but wonder why there needs to be a color-coded system to be accepting and inclusive of all abilities. Yarbrough added that displaying a child’s diagnosis has the potential to increase the risk that the child will be mistreated or bullied.
“I love when people choose to sit at the end of their driveway to hand out treats, since narrow walkways and steps to the front door are di cult to manage for those in wheelchairs or (those who have) mobility issues,” said Yarbrough.
Having worked with neurodivergent children, Sawyer has had parents ask her about the di erent colored buckets. She said it should be more about“if they would like to, not that they should have
to — and let the child lead on that decision.
Similar to Bennet, Sawyer hopes that people answering doors will answer with empathy and a willingness to be accepting of all individuals and use Halloween as a time to show kindness to neighbors.
For three consecutive years, Sawyer participated in the Town of Parker’s Trunk or Treat event because she enjoys the opportunity to allow families to have a little more control of the environment. She appreciates the inclusivity that the rst hour of the event is sensory-friendly because it creates a safer and more accessible environment.
Whether a family chooses to carry a blue bucket to raise awareness of autism or if they feel uncomfortable with it, Sawyer encourages letting the child lead on how they want to do Halloween.
“ ere’s no wrong way of doing it,” said Sawyer. “So having a good time within your child’s capacity is really important.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in 13 children have a food allergy. erefore, having options other than candy helps children feel included. Non-edible treat ideas include Halloween erasers, novelty toys, vampire fangs, spider rings and bouncy balls.
e Food Allergy Research and Education nonpro t organization provides a map of houses that have non-food treats as well as free printable signs, ideas for non-food treats and facts about di erent types of candy. ese can be found at tinyurl.com/5eac8f4c.
The di erent-colored Halloween candy buckets have taken on new meanings over the years in hopes to bring awareness to various medical conditions and diagnoses. SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Why thousands of trees at Chatfield State Park are being cut down
BY MICHAEL BOOTH
THE COLORADO SUN
ousands of ooded cottonwood snags poking out of the reservoir at Chat eld State Park are popular with anglers and paddleboarders, but they must come out for boater safety and to keep dam outlets from clogging.
Fans of the much-visited lake park southwest of Denver will see nearly 3,000 trees with their bases currently underwater cut down and trucked away in coming months.
ousands more trees will get the fateful blue paint marks for removal next year.
Why do the cottonwoods and willows have to go?
Rising water levels for the past couple of years (more about that below) have ooded and eventually killed thousands of cottonwoods and willows that were previously o ering shade at the waterline. State and federal o cials knew this would happen when a planned reservoir-expansion project began in 2014.
After letting the public play in and around the dead trunks for a few years, it’s now time for them to go. High winds can easily topple trees made unstable by ooded, rotting roots, endangering boaters or people walking the shoreline. In winter, the trunks get frozen into ice oes and further destabilized when wind moves the ice.
e fallen trunks, limbs and roots also drift northeast toward the dam and clog outlets for the South Platte River heading into Littleton and Englewood.
Fishing boats love cruising the shadows and cover provided by the dead trees and fallen trunks, while paddleboarders nd them a steering challenge and an exploration opportunity.
“We have enjoyed having the cottonwood and willow trees in the reservoir for the past two years and been pleased
by the new recreating opportunities the trees provided our visitors,” Colorado Parks and Wildlife Chat eld Park Manager Kris Wahlers said. “We explored all options to keep the trees, but since they did not survive, we have to do what’s best for our visitors.”
Why has the water been rising at Chat eld?
Colorado’s growing Front Range cities and water agencies are always looking for new reservoirs or expanded, innovative storage ideas for water rights satisfying local demands.
Chat eld was nished in 1975 as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers TriLakes ood control project that includes Cherry Creek State Park and Bear Creek Lake reservoirs. Chat eld can hold 350,000 acre-feet of water but past water levels have always been a small part of the overall basin. e Chat eld Storage Reallocation agreement in 2014 allows local agencies to store up to 20,600 acrefeet in the ood control pool for municipal uses.
Favorable snow and rain in the spring of 2023 nally allowed the partners to store enough basin runo to reach the extra 20,600 acre-foot level. (An acrefoot can supply the water needs of two to four metro households for a year.)
More precipitation in 2023 and 2024, as well as relatively cool weather during key water use seasons, has left the Chat eld pool at or near the maximum levels, keeping the trees ooded.
Who owns the water at Chat eld?
e Army Corps controls the oodprevention pool. Various water agencies and farm ditch companies see their South Platte River Basin water rights ow through Chat eld. e primary entities taking advantage of the new storage available at Chat eld include Centennial, with nearly 7,000 acre-feet; the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District, a farming district, at nearly
4,300 acre-feet; Denver Water at 1,600 acre-feet; and Castle Pines North district at 1,000 acre-feet.
Does losing the trees hurt the park overall?
Losing thousands of highly visible tree trunks from the northern boat ramp all the way down the western shoreline of the reservoir will certainly make an aesthetic di erence for parkgoers. But the mitigation for this year’s big tree cutting began years ago, with plans to replace the shoreline shade and wildlife habitat with thousands of new trees and shrubs. at planting work began as early as 2018, state parks o cials say, with more than 100,000 new trees and shrubs now in the ground. e state says many of those new groves are already thriving and creating cottonwood habitat.
Tree snags at the waterline can be popular with eagles and other nesting birds, but state o cials say there were no eagle nests established in the areas that must be cut down.
Will the state park stay open during
all the lumberjack work?
Yes. e state says impact on visitation and use will be minimal. About 2,700 tree trunks will be removed over the next six months, followed by a second phase in winter of 2025 with about 2,300 more cottonwoods needing to go. Work will begin this fall at the north boat ramp and move south down the western shore of the reservoir.
Helicopters will be used to grab trees that can’t be reached by workers wearing waders, and for winter tree removal for trunks surrounded by ice.
“To lessen impact to park visitors, one day-use area will be closed at a time while ground crews complete their work. Helicopter work is expected to start after anksgiving,” a parks release said. Visitors looking to use a particular area can keep up on closures at the park’s website or social media channels. 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.
Cottonwood and willow trees will be cut down and removed in coming months at Chatfield State Park reservoir, part of a culling of nearly 3,000 now-flooded trunks that died after a planned reservoir-level increase.
