and stuff and science to the library,” she said. “What we wanted to build that moment of wonder and recovery and healing and the connection to nature that you get walking in nature, as opposed to learning about rocks and whatnot.” She said they were intrigued by Fann and his previous works. “We found we had similar ideas,” she said. “He’s worked with other groups around the country that believe in play and ecosystems. And so, we hired him, and the experience now is becoming part of the creative process.” Fann’s works will become permanent features at the library branches. He’s completed installations at the Wrights Farm branch in Thornton, the branch in Bennett and was planning to finish the Brighton branch’s project in the first week of August. Then, he’ll return to his California studio and return in a few months with pieces

The 116th version of the Adams County Fair is going to be a little different just because it follows 2020. “Yeah, life has changed dramatically,” said Casandra Vossler, Adams County fair and special event’s manager. “It’s been an interesting year, not just for this industry but for the world at large. There are staffing shortages, supply shortages. It’s been crazy.” COVID-19 convinced Adams County to close down the bulk of the fair’s events in 2020. Only the 4H animal and crop contests went forward last year. “We were lucky enough that a lot of the artists and vendors that we’d planned to have in 2020 just rolled things forward to 2021,” Vossler said. “But what we thought would be a really easy year to plan wasn’t that easy.” A number of contractors and performers the fair wanted to bring in this year waited to confirm their appearances until the last couple of weeks. “There wouldn’t commit because Colorado was a state that closed down last year,” Vossler said. “There were states that didn’t close down and they were able to work there. But they wouldn’t commit to us right away until they knew for sure we were going to be open.”

The new art structures at the back of three of Anythink Library’s branches may be made from vastly different kinds of wood but they share one thing - a sense of wonder with natural patterns. “Each kind of wood has its own vocabulary in terms of how it moves and the kinds of things you can do with it,” Artist Jayson Fann said. “Eucalyptus saplings are very flexible when they are green. You can bend them and shape them and when they dry, they dry rock hard.” Fann is wrapping up the first part of his summer Spirit Nest residency at the library district, building three different wooden

sculptures meant to be climbed on and explored at the Brighton, Wrights Farm and Bennett library branches. At least three more of his works are in progress, all part of the library district’s “mySummer” program. The idea for the library district’s summer program began last fall while the state was still in the midst of the COVID-19 shutdown and pandemic quarantines. McGowan said Anythink staff begins planning the next summer’s reading program each September, and September 2020 presented some challenges for them. “Last year, with the pandemic, we gave out more of an activity kit and that was very popular,” McGowan said. “This year, our intention was to have a connection to nature and art in a way that was different. We didn’t know what was going to happen but we wanted to focus on getting outside.” Anythink has hosted dozens of back-to-nature programs, she said. “But it’s one thing to bring birds

Brighton leads Veteran Colorado journalist United Power’s Linda Shapley named publisher growth in new meters BY MARK HARDEN MHARDEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

United Power topped 100,000 meters and the company is still growing and plans to connect more by the end of the year, according to a press release. As of June, United Power had made the list of electric cooperatives nationally with that kind of growth. “It is truly a historic accomplishment to reach this meter milestone,” said Mark A. Gabriel, United Power’s President, and Chief Executive Officer. “United Power has a long reputation for excellence among its cooperative peers, and it now joins a select few who serve more than 100,000 meters. Our size and reputation will amplify our voice in helping shape the future of the electric industry.” More than 800 electric cooperatives serve small or sparse populations across the country. United Power is one of several serving growing communities near larger cities that are also surging with growth. A group of farmers in and around Brighton founded United Power in 1938, starting with a couple of hundred members. According to the press release, United Power’s current growth rate began early in 2000 and continued through 2021, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. United Power reached 50,000 meters by 2004 and had grown to 75,000 meters by 2015 – more growth than the co-op had experienced between 1950 and 1970. United Power maintained its control after an attempted buyout in the mid-1980s by the Public Service of Colorado – now Excel Energy. The larger company backed off of the purchase, however, deeming United Power’s area as an unprofitable service territory. United Power grew, but not like today. United Power becomes the second Colorado electric cooperative to top the 100,000-meter mark, joining the Intermountain Rural Electric Association headquartered in Sedalia. United Power was built to service rural areas of smaller populations that were considered not as profitable as larger cities. “We are adding new meters at an unprecedented rate,” said Gabriel. “But more importantly, we are adding new members. Each new meter represents a new family on our lines or a new business helping shape the economy of the communities we serve. Our members make us stronger and make our communities stronger. As your cooperative, it is our privilege to be able to serve each one of our members.” United Power’s 100,000-meter celebration is August 28 at the Carbon Valley Service Center, 9586 E I-25 Frontage Rd.

The new owners of Colorado Community Media have named Linda Shapley the news company’s publisher. Shapley, a lifelong Coloradan, has been a senior news executive at The Denver Post and Colorado Politics magazine in a career in print and digital news and communication spanning more than 30 years. She will lead CCM’s Shapley two-dozen Colorado newspapers and websites, including this one, as well as other publications as the company’s first publisher since the May announcement of its sale by Jerry and Ann Healey to The Colorado News Conservancy, a partnership of The Colorado Sun and the National Trust for Local News dedicated to fostering community journalism. CCM newspapers servce Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld counties. “I am excited and honored to be assuming this role, especially during such a critical time in our industry,” Shapley said. “Anyone

ready to return to nursing?

who knows me knows I am an ardent supporter of local news, and my main goal is to tirelessly work at building a team that strengthens the bond a community has with its newspaper.” Shapley has been managing editor of Colorado Politics, affiliated with the Colorado Springs Gazette and Denver Gazette, since October 2019. Before that she was customer experience director at communications company Deke Digital and managing editor of The Denver Post, overseeing news operations and coverage. Larry Ryckman, co-founder and editor of The Colorado Sun, said he was excited to be able to work with his former Post colleague again. Ryckman noted that Shapley “worked in many different roles and departments during her time at The Post and oversaw print production for news events large and small. She also led The Post’s community engagement initiative along with other operational duties.” Prior to The Post, Shapley worked at The Kansas City Star, the Greeley Tribune and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. She is a Colorado State University graduate and a former vice president of the Denver Press Club. Elizabeth Hansen Shapiro, CEO

of the National Trust for Local News and a Colorado News Conservancy board member, said CCM’s owners “conducted an extensive, thorough search, and a number of highly qualified applicants expressed interest in the position. In Linda we found an experienced leader with a combination of strong newsroom chops, organizational skills and budgeting acumen. She’s a great listener, has boundless energy and is passionate about community news. On top of all that, she is a lifelong Coloradan with deep roots in Weld County.” Shapley joins CCM on Aug. 23.

Adams County adopts new drilling regulations Industry chafes at state-allowed regulations, opponents claim it’s too little

Oil and gas wells along U.S. Highway 85. FILE PHOTO

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Adams County Board of Commissioners voted 3-1 for new oil and gas regulations at a July 27 public hearing, making the county the first in Colorado to revise its policies since new statewide regulations took effect in January. The regulations increase setback distances to 2,000 feet from homes, schools, daycares, environmentally sensitive areas, and parks and open spaces. The text amendments also expand the definition of environmentally sensitive areas and require closer monitoring of nuisance impacts. Industry proponents said the new regulations effectively ban drilling in the county, while county commissioners said the text amendments were necessary to address the growing concern over air quality and pollution. “Frankly, the time is now. We are looking at the longest streak of poor air quality in the Denver metro in a number of years,” said Adams County Commissioner Emma Pinter. “There is widespread concern in

the community, both about climate change, air quality, air pollution, water pollution, all the things that are really centered around these regulations. This is the best that we can do at this time.” Along with Pinter, Board Chairperson Eva Henry and Commissioner Lynn Baca voted for the regulations, while Commissioner Chaz Tedesco dissented. Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio was absent.

Commission regulations, while others are more strict. Adams County will measure setbacks differently than the state and has established a bigger setback distance from streams, lakes, rivers, springs and wetlands. The county also created a wider zone around drilling operations requiring drilling companies to conduct regular noise monitoring and community outreach.

Local regulations allowed A 2019 state law, Senate Bill 181, gave local governments more regulatory authority over oil and gas drilling. It also gave direction to the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission to revise statewide regulations, which the commission did last November. Adams County revised its oil and gas regulations in 2019 but decided to revise the regulations again when the statewide regulations changed. Some of the regulations the commissioners approved on Tuesday match the Colorado Oil and Gas

Industry concerns Many community members and industry representatives criticized the stricter setback regulations during the public hearing, arguing that it significantly limits the areas where drilling can occur and thus, limits drilling operations overall. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association “has justifiable concerns that the rules are a ban cloaked as regulation,” said Ryan Seastrom, regulatory affairs manager for the Colorado Oil and Gas Association (COGA), at the public hearing.

Return to the Magic & Mystique!

“Even if the setbacks don’t function as a ban, the county not having clear criteria for how it will evaluate permit applications invites arbitrary and capricious decision-making.” Others criticized the regulations for the potential negative impact on jobs. “Without realizing how oil and gas production affects almost every aspect of our daily lives, I believe you are taking bad legislation and making it worse,” said Steve Yaussy, who lives in Northglenn. Threading the needle Meanwhile, environmental activists said the regulations don’t go far enough. Andrew Forkes-Gudmundson, deputy director of the League of Oil and Gas Impacted Coloradans (LOGIC), said that LOGIC wants the county to shorten the lifespan of a drilling permit, and enhance nuisance impact protections. Forkes-Gudmundson praised the county for adding provisions that recognize communities disproportionately impacted by oil and gas drilling, but said, “there doesn’t appear to be any substantive protections built into these regulations.” In her concluding remarks, Henry said the issue is a difficult needle to thread, but that she’s happy with the regulations. “It’s one of those situations where we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t,” Henry said. “So that’s when I find when we hit the sweet spot, because both sides are angry.”

for the Commerce City and Huron Street branches. He also has plans to build a mobile version that library staff can take to special community events. Community connections The library system has hosted numerous presentations with Fann this summer, letting residents talk about what they think should influence his vision and things for them to keep in mind. “We have been part of his process and he has spent a lot of time connecting with the communities and hearing about the communities,” she said. “For example, one of the things with the bamboo in Brighton is the connection to the JapaneseAmerican community. So, this is part of the inspiration for that, as a Japanese tea house.” Fann said he doesn’t imagine his Brighton structure will be used for tea but imagines residents young and old will visit it to explore. He also figures it will be a backdrop or stage for future concerts or performances at the library. “Ultimately what this is, it’s an exploration of bamboo music and architecture,” he said. “This is a performance space — not just for music and architecture but all the culture that pertains to bamboo. Bamboo is global, it grows all over the world and it’s one of the oldest used materials.” He plans to use an etching device to carve smartphone-readable symbols into the bamboo stalks. People can scan the symbols and be directed to information about how bamboo is used around the globe. “You take a picture with your phone and it sends you Venezuela, where people are playing music with bamboo instruments, ” Fann said. “If you take a picture of another, it takes you to Japan.” Building along the Platte Fann grew up along the Platte River in Nebraska. That’s where he got his start into his peculiar art, scrounging scrap wood to make tree houses and forts to play in. “I gathered wood out of the river for building forts,” he said. “All my neighbors were builders, so I’d watch them building fireplaces or just working on their houses. I’m from that pre-Internet generation. That’s what we did.” He traveled as a percussionist and drummer for a while, studying music around the world and teaches. He now lives in Big Sur, in California’s Monterey County but the in-

fluence for his projects comes from around the world. “The way I relate to architecture is much like someone might think of writing a musical composition or tuning and instrument,” Fann said. “It’s the placement of notes – which might be the poles in the structure – and the framework.” It’s more than just art or architecture, Fann said. He’s also a drummer who’s performed around the world. That influence comes across in his projects, with strong bases surrounded by interwoven patterns. “Nature is really the predominant

influence and how it interacts with natural forms,” Fann said. Here for now The summer of 2021 has been a busy one for him, he said. It’s had him traveling between his home in California through Colorado to Kentucky and back. He’s tried to vary the materials he uses among the Anythink branches. The installation at the Perl Mac branch was carved from a single gigantic piece of redwood scrap he salvaged in California. “That’s a piece of two to 3,000-year-

old piece of wood, and I was able to get access to one section of it,” he said. He left the log’s patina in place and used a high-pressure water sprayer to carve patterns into the wood. “People asked me what kind of paint I used on that,” he said. “That’s not paint.” The piece he recently completed in Bennett is made from Cottonwood logs pulled from the Kiowa River. “It’s a storytelling space, and you could fit 40 kids in there,” he said. “Each piece is fitted together, like a puzzle. Other parts are hollowed out and they can use them for planters.” The tall, narrow tower he built for the back area at Thornton’s Wright Farms branch is made from California Eucalyptus. It’s a fragrant, durable wood that lends itself to that kind of swirling, layered design. “I really appreciate eucalyptus because it has a such beautiful form,” he said. Brighton’s structure will be a sort of tea house built from bamboo. He’s nearly finished building the metal-supported base structure utilizing thick canes of bamboo. Thinner stalks of the plant will be woven into that structure, giving the finished piece his signature layers and whorls. “This is not explicitly a teahouse as much as it’s a celebration of bamboo in music and architecture,” he said. “There is so much to it, so many things you can do with it. We wanted to highlight this.”

Judicial performance chair for 17th District resigns Attorney Molly Jansen vacates post after her law license suspended BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Molly Jansen, the chairperson of the body that evaluates judges’ performance in Adams and Broomfield counties, resigned from her post early this month after learning that her law license would be suspended. Though Jansen wouldn’t have been allowed to stay on the 17th Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission with a legal suspension, the defense attorney said other factors played into her decision. Jansen told Colorado Community Media in a phone call, “It (resigning) was initially because I didn’t choose to stay on the commission. It was also my ethical obligation to resign due to the fact that I was no longer going to be licensed.” Jansen’s departure from the commission came nearly a year after district court judges called for her resignation when the attorney was on legal probation for a different set of professional conduct violations. Jansen, whose law practice is based in Denver but lives in Adams County, became well-known in the metro area after she ran as a Republican candidate in the 17th Judicial District At-

torney race in 2016. She lost to Dave Young, a Democrat, whose term as DA ended in January. Jansen also competed on a season of the Discovery Channel series, “Naked and Afraid,” which aired in 2019. Jansen started on the 17th Judicial District Performance Evaluation Commission in 2017 and became the chairperson in 2019. The commission is made up of 10 volunteers. Four members are attorneys; six are not. The commission oversees a year-long process evaluating district court judges who are up for retention. The evaluation process concludes with a recommendation from the commission for or against a judge’s retention, which voters ultimately decide in a November election. The commission’s recommendation goes into the ballot information booklet, or the Blue Book. Colorado Politics and the Brighton Standard Blade investigated the controver-

sial performance evaluation of former Adams County District Court Judge Tomee Crespin between Oct. 2019 to August 2020. Ultimately, voters chose not to retain Crespin in the November election after the 17th Judicial District Performance Evaluation Commission recommended against Crespin’s retention. Crespin’s performance evaluation was controversial, partly due to conflict between Crespin and Jansen. Earlier in Crespin’s performance evaluation, in a conversation between the two, Jansen made comments to Crespin about the judge’s “demeanor.” Jansen also talked to Crespin about a case in which Jansen, who was representing a client, appeared before Crespin. Crespin and allies of the judge had concerns about Jansen’s ability to fairly evaluate Crespin. They were especially concerned that Jansen was on a two-year legal probation that began in October 2019 for violating

The event stages a big 2021 comeback beginning Aug. 4, with two different rodeo events, plenty of live music and fun. There will be changes, however. “We have big acts and band coming in, but the overall feeling that has us excited is getting to bring the community back together after last year,” she said. The children’s area will see some of the biggest changes, Vossler said. Previous fairs have featured bouncy houses and activities meant to get kids together to play. “We are still having the Kids Zone but it is more of a stage area than anything else,” she said. “The typical Kids Zone had bouncy houses and paddleboards. With kids being vaccinated, it became a safety issue. So we downsized that area and now have more ground acts and more stage acts to entertain the kids, rather than make them jump around on each other.” Those ground acts include stilt walkers the Animal Cracker Conspiracy and the Great Dubois flying

multiple Colorado Bar Association rules of professional conduct. During Crespin’s performance evaluation, when members of the 17th Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission indicated that Crespin would receive an unfavorable evaluation, fellow judges of Crespin and attorneys who knew Crespin wrote letters to the commission advocating for the judge. Adams County District Judge Sharon Holbrook wrote a letter and in it, she specifically called out Jansen, saying, “The bench, myself included, was concerned that an attorney who is not in good standing was not in the best position to judge the performance of others, including judges.” Though Jansen did not respond to a request for comment from Colorado Politics and the Brighton Standard Blade last year, Jansen responded to Holbrook’s criticism in her recent phone call with Colorado Community Media. “My probation had nothing to do with anyone in Adams County. It involved clients, it did not involve judges. I had no personal biases that were affecting my ability to be on the commission and I was not required by law to resign,” Jansen said. “It (the probation) was between clients and myself and our fee agreements and whatnot. So, it had no bearing and there was no reason for me to resign, regardless of the fact that a couple of

The fair runs through Aug. 8. Rodeo and music Country performer Michael Ray will take the Grandstand Stage at 8 p.m. Aug. 4, featuring free admission. The traditional rodeo portion kicks off at 5 p.m. Aug. 5 with a concert by the Eli Young Band, and

special guests the Junebugs. The evening also features the Professional Bull Riders contest. Tickets for the concert are $10 for the concert alone or $14 for both the concert and the bull riding. Special VIP tickets cost $75 and include two drink tickets, snacks, private restrooms a cash bar and corral-side seating to watch the bull riding. Events continue Aug. 6 with a Demolition Derby — tickets are $20 per adult, $10 per child — and Aug. 7 with a daylong cornhole tournament. Sunday will be the biggest day of the fair with the Dia de La Familia

judges didn’t like it,” she added. A Colorado Supreme Court disciplinary court judge ruled on July 2 to suspend Jansen’s license, as first reported by the Denver Post. It was for similar reasons that she was put on probation in 2019 - she charged clients up front but failed to meet benchmarks that she and the client agreed to beforehand — but was for different cases. Jansen said she intends to continue practicing law after her suspension ends. When asked whether she would continue the same business practices that resulted in her legal probation and suspension, Jansen said, “I’m not going to comment on that.” Jansen’s resignation from the 17th Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission was effective July 12. Colorado Community Media reached out to Crespin about the news of Jansen’s recent legal suspension. “To now learn that she has again been investigated and found to have continued to engage in unethical behavior while remaining on the Judicial Performance Commission is unconscionable,” Crespin said in an email. “While unethical behavior by attorneys chips away at that delicate trust and confidence, the public’s trust and confidence is destroyed when those, who are tasked with ensuring the system is held to the highest of standards, choose to do nothing when observing such glaring inappropriate actions.”

and a Mexican Charreada rodeo. “We have three bands coming for that and that’s different for us,” she said. “We normally have one act, and they are pretty big acts.” Tickets for the Charreada will be $20 for adults, $15 for children and $75 for VIPs. “We are pretty excited. The overall feeling for my staff and, I think, the county as a whole is that we are excited to bring the community back together after such a tough year.” Tickets to all the events can be purchased online at adamscountyfair.com or in person at Riverdale Regional Park. Parking Parking at Riverdale Regional Park is $10 per vehicle and spaces are limited. The county offers free off-site parking at Prairie View High School, 12909 E. 120th Ave. in Brighton and Riverdale Ridge High School, 13380 Yosemite St. and Shadow Ridge Middle School, 12551 Holly St. in Thornton. Shuttles will run between those lots and the fair every 20 minutes. Riders must wear masks on the shuttle, Vossler said, whether they are vaccinated or not.

Unvaccinated people drive COVID rise as school looms In Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, 95% of those recently hospitalized were not fully vaccinated BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With the new school year nearly here, Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties are seeing the signs of an upswing in rates of new COVID-19 cases, according to a news release from Tri-County Health Department. “Two connected factors are responsible for the increase in new cases: individuals who remain unvaccinated and the highly contagious Delta variant,” the health agency wrote in the news release. In parallel with trends across the U.S. and Colorado, new cases of COVID-19 have increased in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties in the past month, according to TriCounty, which is the local public health agency for the three counties. “While the overall rates are much lower than they were in April thanks to those who have been fully vaccinated against the virus, this recent increase in cases is concerning especially with school beginning in the next few weeks,” the agency added. Schools may return with little to no social distancing or mask requirements in August. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released new P-12 school COVID-19 guidelines on July 20, but the new guidance “does not constitute statewide requirements,” a state news release said. Instead, the guidance outlines “best practices” for local governments and school districts. That means local health agencies, such as Tri-County, and school districts will decide for themselves what precautions to enforce. Tri-County Health will “strongly encourage” mask-wearing in indoor settings for those not fully vaccinated, but the agency is not planning to require it at this point, John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health, said on July 23. Regardless of the new state guidance, state law gives local and state public health officials the authority to implement isolation and quarantines to slow or stop the spread of disease, according to the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department. “Public health officials will work with schools to ensure that these measures are used as needed to protect the health of the employees and students in these settings, which also provides broader protection to the community at large,” the center said in a statement. But any standards that school districts or local health officials implement for quarantines are likely to be looser than they were last school year, based on the new state guidance. Hospitalized mostly unvaccinated As of July 22, in Adams County, the seven-day incidence rate of new

Local health agencies, school districts to choose what COVID-19 restrictions to implement BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With the upcoming school year fast approaching, Tri-County Health Department — the local public health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — said it plans not to require masks for unvaccinated individuals in schools. “We strongly encourage maskwearing in indoor settings for those not fully vaccinated,” John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health, said on July 23. “However, (we) are not planning to require it at this point.” Then, in light of new data on the Delta coronavirus variant, the federal Centers for Disease Control in late July updated its guidance for fully vaccinated people. The CDC now recommends “universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status,” according to its website. Tri-County Health was closely following the release of the updated CDC guidance and was waiting for subsequent comments from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment before offering any additional guidance for the counties in its jurisdiction, Douglas said. “We have been working with our school districts to achieve optimal in-person learning and prevent transmission of COVID-19 and will continue to do so to help them understand how best to apply this new guidance,” Douglas said. Schools may return with little to no social distancing or mask requirements in August. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released new P-12 school COVID-19 guidelines on July 20, but the new guidance “does not constitute statewide requirements,” a state news release said. Instead, the guidance outlines “best practices” for local governments and school districts. That means local health agencies — such as Tri-County — and school districts will likely decide for themselves what precautions to enforce. Tri-County Health will continue to require quarantining of close contacts — those within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more — for anyone exposed to a person with COVID-19 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people was 69, according to Tri-County’s news release.

in a non-classroom setting, Douglas said. But this year, contact tracing is not required in the classroom setting, in order to prioritize in-person learning, Douglas said. Contact tracing is a term for when public health workers notify people that they may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. Any standards that school districts or local health officials implement for quarantines are likely to be looser than they were last school year, based on the new state guidance. In Tri-County’s jurisdiction, students who are exposed to COVID-19 in the classroom will not be required to quarantine from school except in instances that are high risk: unmasked direct contact in sports, choir or with medically fragile students, Douglas said. “All students and staff that are exposed should still monitor closely for symptoms and are not permitted to attend school if they develop symptoms. Testing, isolation and symptom-screening are still required before symptomatic staff and students can return back to school,” Douglas said. Individual cases and potential outbreaks of COVID-19 — and all reportable medical conditions — are still required to be reported to public health officials, Douglas said. Tri-County Health “will monitor cases and work with schools to implement additional mitigation measures such as masking, social distancing, contact-tracing and quarantine in the setting of an outbreak,” Douglas said. “These recommendations will only be required if the outbreak is high risk (or) severe or the school is not participating in the investigation and mitigation.” For schools, a confirmed outbreak is defined as five or more cases of COVID-19, of which at least one case has had a positive molecular amplification test or antigen test, among students, teachers or staff from separate households with onset within 14 days in a single classroom or activity or other close contact in the school setting — including transportation to or from school and affiliated events, according to the state’s definition. See more information on Colorado’s updated definition of COVID-19 outbreaks at tinyurl.com/ ColoradoCOVIDoutbreak on page 6. Alternatives for indoor activities or school events may be recommended or required depending on the severity of an outbreak, Douglas said. That represents an increase of 155% since June 26, according to Tri-County. Arapahoe and Douglas

counties have experienced increases of 70% and 65% over the same period, Tri-County said. The majority of new cases are among individuals who are not fully vaccinated, according to Tri-County. And since March, “95% of individuals hospitalized in our counties had not been fully vaccinated, similar to the pattern being seen across the state and nation,” Tri-County said in the release. The Delta variant, which is more contagious than the strain circulating last winter and could cause more severe illness according to recent studies, is responsible for approximately 90% of all cases in Colorado, according to Tri-County. “It is understandable that some people may still have concerns about getting vaccinated after hearing a lot of misinformation on the internet and social media,” Douglas, the health chief, said in the release. “However, the threat from the Delta variant to unvaccinated persons is real, serious and growing, so each day of delay can increase your risk of getting sick from COVID-19. If you’re unsure, talk with your health care provider to help answer questions in the context of your personal health.” Where to get vaccinated COVID-19 vaccinations are available at many locations nearly every day in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. Tri-County Health’s COVID-19 vaccines webpage lists clinics by day of the week in a calendar format as well as by location in a map. That’s located at tchd.org/866/COVID19-Vaccine. You can also call TriCounty at 303-220-9200. Anyone looking for a specific vaccine can sort by product at vaccines. gov, or text their ZIP code to 438829. There are also additional opportunities listed on the state’s webpage at covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine/ where-you-can-get-vaccinated. Individuals can also check with their own doctor, a local clinic, grocery or big-box store, or pharmacy nearby at vaccinespotter.org/CO. Until a person’s vaccination is complete, Tri-County Health says to wear a mask indoors when around people who are from another household and to stay 6 feet apart from others when out in public, especially indoors. While more than 70% of adults age 18 and up who are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in Colorado have been vaccinated, those who have not been vaccinated remain vulnerable to illness, hospitalization and even death, Tri-County noted. “Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way to protect yourself against this virus, especially with the more contagious Delta variant circulating,” Douglas said in the release. “Each of the vaccines available are very effective. Everyone 12 and older who can get vaccinated should do so now — for themselves and their families and friends. Vaccinated people also protect those who cannot get vaccinated, such as children under 12 years of age, or those with weaker immune systems for whom vaccine protection may be reduced.”

Adjusting to new college schedules takes time for some College means big focus on time management, especially for athletes

MAKING THE ADJUSTMENT PART 3 OF 3

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

High-school-turned-college athletes have more than a few things to balance in their first year away from home. Aside from such day-to-day things as opening a checking account and finding time to eat, they have to be punctual for practices, film sessions, weight training and college classes, all without any help. They might be some of the most ardent subscribers to the “Can We Add Another Hour or Two to the Day Club?” It may not be as daunting as it sounds, though. That’s one of the topics - so is a general description of college athletics and college athletics in a time of a pandemic - that is up for discussion in the third part of our adjustment to college series. Balancing college needs Most of those surveyed said the effort to balance all the needs in their new life wasn’t too bad, including former Frederick football player Blake Duran. “Class scheduling opens up to athletes first so we can work our classes around our practices and lifting so we never miss a practice because

At most, you’ll have three classes a day and time in between, so you have plenty of time to eat or do laundry if you have to.” That wasn’t always true. It was a difficult start for Brighton High School grad Ivan Scarpino. “But once I started to write down what I’m doing at exactly what time then I got much more organized,” said Scarpino, who played football at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. “And after a

couple of weeks I was able to adjust into balancing school, sports and life.” Scarpino’s classmate, Tori Haug, who played softball at Lakeland College in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, said it wasn’t “super-hard” for her to find that balancing act. “Everyone is willing to help everyone, which makes it so much easier to get everything done on time,” she said. “When it comes to the basic needs, we do a lot of things as a team. But it can be super difficult at times.” She said college is “very much based on you.” “There are times that you have to make time for yourself to get your stuff done,” she said. “You choose to procrastinate and push things off until they absolutely need to be done it, makes it a lot harder to find a good period of time that you can get all of your stuff done. For me, when it needs to get done, I just do it then. It has seemed to make things easier for me and has allowed me to have more free time.” For Fort Lupton alum Antonio Marquez, balancing his schedule was “a challenge” at first. “But I took time out of my day to figure out a schedule that could balance all of them while still having

fun,” said Marquez, who competes at Western Colorado University in Gunnison. “I have certain days where it could just be working hard on school. some days where I am focusing on my basic needs. My athletic needs are just every day at a certain time. Then my time to really enjoy life comes from the weekends where I can go on a hike, swim, or my favorite, camping. I camp almost every weekend.” Prairie View alum Kyle Melvin had a leg up on the time management piece before he went to Providence Christian College in Pasadena, California. “I have never been that bad at time management, but it is definitely an important skill to have,” he said. “What I do is after practice and classes, I work on my homework so by the late evening I can socialize a lot and relax. Sundays, I make sure to have that as my day of rest from everything.” Frederick grad Davis Richard said balancing his needs wasn’t as hard as he thought it was going to be. “You just need to be able to manage your time well,” said Richard, who went to Central Wyoming Community College. Brighton graduate Abi Read, who wound up at Metropolitan State University in Denver, said the timebalancing piece wasn’t hard for her. “The most important thing I have learned is to take care of things in order of priority,” she said. “It is also easier to take care of tasks before they become big issues. Laundry would be a good example. I also still live at home, so I didn’t have to overcome homesickness and other adjustments of that sort. However, I do have more responsibilities around the house now than I did in high school.” Then there was Brighton’s Isaiah Madril who, along with his twin brother, Noah, went to the University of Dubuque in Dubuque, Iowa.

COLLEGE

Yes, it’s been some of the hardest work I’ve put in throughout my whole life,” Madril said. “I’ve never been in this good of shape ever in my life, and I’m only a freshman so imagine what will happen in a few years.” Jacob Duran said wrestling helped him grow as an individual “without any parent figure telling me what to do.” “I’ve learned if you just get simple work done, on time, everyone is happy,” Duran said.

He had to create a routine. “At first, it was a little tough,” he said. “Now I have a set routine time for homework, I know when I have football, and laundry and things of that sort are easy to do while I’m doing homework.” Fort Lupton alum Jacob Duran, who competes at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, said it wasn’t hard to make the balancing act work, once he had a schedule. “Routine turns normal, and I’ve learned to love the new normal,” he said. “I’m doing OK in school (he had a 3.5-grade point average for the first semester). My goals are 3.8 hopefully soon 4.0.” BHS alum Nate Griffeth, who wound up at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, said student-athlete life was a challenge. “You’re on your own and have to hold yourself accountable to making sure you’re eating right, getting homework done and doing your laundry,” he said. “But you can always find time either at the end of the day or between classes or weekends to get that stuff done. Your teammates are always there to make sure you’re doing the right thing when it comes to eating right and keeping up with academics.” College, athletics and COVID Most thought the adjustment to college and college sports in a time of a pandemic was different from planned. “But we always find ways to have fun and get together,” said Blake Duran. “The football team tends to stay together since we are with each other all the time. So, we tend to hang out a lot.” “In terms of the amount of studying school-wise and time commitment/ work commitment sport-wise, it is how I expected it to be,” said Scarpino. But he also noted he wanted to see a normal year of school and a football season. Haug said the experience wasn’t what she figured. “But it’s been a good experience so far,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed meeting all my teammates and have enjoyed being able to play at the next level.”

“The experience has been what I thought and more,” Marquez said. “I didn’t picture getting this much into running and what it holds. I didn’t imagine meeting so many chill people that are on the same wave as me. I also didn’t think I would be so in love with Gunnison and all of nature in general.” Melvin’s first year of school and sports went according to plan. “The only thing that caught me by surprise with the adjustment is the camaraderie that not only the team has with each other but the coaches as well,” Melvin said. Read said her transition to college has been a mixed bag. “Honestly, after spring 2020, my world changed overnight and all expectations I had for anything were gone. I have heard about the typical college experience and I did not expect that because I go to a commuter college and COVID,” she said. “I also heard things about MSU Denver that haven’t happened yet, and there are things that I was expecting to happen and then did. Mostly, I’m just rolling with it and taking the whole experience one day at a time.” Former Frederick placekicker Lucas Dunker, who’s kicking at Washington State University, said his experience has been “outstanding.” “Everywhere you go on campus, people are always wearing their `Coug’ gear,” he said. “The coaches and staff treat me like I’m family.” Madril said the first year of his college experience worked out just fine. “Coming from a football aspect?

In closing If you want regrets from these new college students and studentathletes, regardless of topic, you won’t find them here. Blake Duran said being a college-level athlete is a dream come true. “And now that my dream is a reality, I couldn’t be happier,” he said. “The college atmosphere is nothing like I’ve ever seen before. It’s such a different experience from class, to the mood of everyone at practice. There is never a dull moment out on the field.” Going into his first year of college athletics, Griffeth said he knew it would be comparable to a business and that he’d have to put in a lot of work. “So far it’s been a lot of fun being with the guys and working on improving as a team and as an individual,” he said. “Our season ended due to COVID and quarantine but it was a good year to get a feel for what college is like. “I can’t wait for a full year of games and a normal season.” “College has been a huge eye-opener for me. It has definitely forced me to adult way quicker and learn things I would have never learned if I was still in Brighton,” Haug said. “It has allowed me to teach myself and understand different things about living on my own, time management and many other things.” “Keep in mind that this is all happening in the times of COVID, so we are all working in different ways at different times to do the best we can athletically and academically,” Melvin said. “The experience has been great for me,” Richard said. “My teammates are great; my coaches are great. It’s just been a great experience.” Read, who attends a commuter

campus and, thus, doesn’t get what most think of as a “full college experience,” said the only part of her college experience that feels real and like a movement forward in life” has been her cross country team and running. “My whole college experience revolves around that team and if that is the only part of the typical college experience that I get to experience, (which I hope it isn’t) I would not leave feeling cheated or disappointed,” she said. “I would know that I got to experience something very few students get to experience.” “It’s been a wonderful experience here, and it feels like such a relief after putting in so many years of hard work,” Dunker said. Madril said prospective college athletes should be ready to make the change. “Your parents no longer watch over you, so it’s all on you,” he said. “Compete every day like it’s your last and study your plays. Coaches would rather have the smartest than the strongest kid on the field.” Jacob Duran said he’s been able to keep four main aspects of his life — God, family, business and wrestling — In the same order, which helped him get to his present point in life. “I’m here getting my butt kicked every single day. I go into practice with a mindset of, `Alright today I’m going to get one takedown. Tomorrow, maybe I get two or three,” Duran said. “I’ve learned to love wrestling. If wrestling is where I don’t have to quite grow up yet, I’m fine. That brings me joy not only to myself but also to my father and grandpa.” In addition to qualifying for four state cross country meets and a state track meet, Marquez played basketball. The Bluedevils made the Sweet 16 In the 2020 playoffs just before COVID-19 shut down the postseason. “I used to run probably 12 miles a week. Now I run upwards to 15 or 16 (miles) on my long runs — running upwards to 70 miles a week with having tempo runs, workouts and weightlifting every week,” Marquez said. “It’s a big change, but it has made me such a better runner and has given me a bright future for that All-American goal. “I am really just living my best life at the best place with some great people.”

BE Informed! County and city governments run legal notices each week in this newspaper. Find out which laws are changing or new laws being considered; how the county / city is spending your tax dollars; liquor licensing requirements; bidding on government projects; final settlements for those projects; times and dates of public hearing; and others. Remember, the government works for you.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else. Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed. Read your public notices and get involved! Brighton Standard Blade August 4, 2021 * 3
