Latest congressional map keeps House members apart Redistricting changes still possible; deadline Sept. 28 BY SANDRA FISH AND THY VO THE COLORADO SUN

The latest draft of Colorado’s congressional map avoids putting the state’s current U.S. House members into the same district, while creating a sweeping district across most of the Western Slope and southern Colorado. The most heavily populated parts of north Douglas County would stay where they are in the 4th Congressional District. And the biggest cities in Arapahoe County — including Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Englewood, Greenwood Village and Sheridan — would be in the 6th District, along with the Columbine and Ken Caryl areas of Jefferson County. The new 8th Congressional District in the north Denver metro region would be nearly 39% Hispanic. It would encompass Northglenn, Thornton, Brighton, Commerce City and Fort Lupton. And the proposed 7th District, now centered in the north and west metro area, would include much of Jefferson County and stretch to South Park in the central Rocky Mountains. The new map, released Sept. 15, groups most of the Western Slope and southern Colorado into a single, L-shaped 3rd Congressional District. Northwest highcountry counties including Routt, Jackson, Eagle, Summit and Grand are grouped with Larimer and Boulder into a proposed 2nd

Congressional District. And the new districts would no longer pit Garfield County Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert against Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse of Lafayette. The map is the second to be drawn by nonpartisan staff based on 2020 census data, and incorporates input from the public about

previous drafts. Commissioners voted earlier in September to base the latest map on one drawn by Commissioner Martha Coleman, a Democrat from Fort Collins who is a geographer. The latest map would create three safe Democratic districts, three safe Republican districts

and competitive 7th and 8th Congressional Districts, according to a report by nonpartisan legislative staff. In three districts, the Hispanic population would make up more than a quarter of the total district. The latest map is markedly different from two previous proposals. Here’s a look at how the districts shape up: The 1st District centered in Denver remains safe for Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, with a 57% Democratic advantage The 2nd District still includes Boulder and Fort Collins, but stretches west to Routt County and includes Summit and most of Eagle County. It also includes Neguse’s home in Lafayette, and would give Democrats a nearly 34% advantage. The 3rd District stretches from Moffat County in the northwest, south through Mesa and Pitkin counties to Cortez and La Plata counties, then east to Pueblo and Las Animas County. Unlike a map released earlier this month, Boebert’s Silt home remains in the 3rd District, and she’d have a nearly 10% GOP advantage. The 4th District still includes much of the Eastern Plains, as well as Windsor and much of Douglas County. Incumbent U.S. Rep. Ken Buck of Windsor would have a nearly 27% advantage. The 5th District includes most of El Paso County, except for some eastern areas that end up in the 4th District. It would remain safe for incumbent U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn with a 20% GOP advantage.

TikTok challenge damages Prairie View High School “Devious Licks” putting homecoming dance in jeopardy STAFF REPORT

The latest TikTok challenge that involves theft and property destruction made its way to Prairie View High School. In a two-week period that ended Sept. 16, the school reported more than $5,000 worth of damage and

stolen items on campus. Principal Mike Burke called that “unacceptable.” “We have been able to identify some students that have perpetrated these crimes on our campus,” he said in a Facebook post. “However, we still have a large number of unsolved situations that have left us still investigating and trying to find the guilty parties. Let it be known that any and all students who are caught committing these ridiculous and harmful acts on campus will pay restitution, be suspended and be charged with criminal damage

to school property and theft.” Burke made the decision to close all but two of the restrooms on campus. Those are in the Awing and in G-wing. School staff is trying to find soap dispensers, electrical outlets, sinks, toilets and other items to make a functioning restroom. The school is offering rewards for information that leads to the identification of those involved. “I am seriously considering canceling the homecoming dance (Saturday, Oct. 9),” Burke’s Facebook post said. “This is unfortu-

nate, since we have not had a dance at PVHS since 2019. But I cannot justify the cost of planning and hosting a fun activity on campus when we are having to repair parts of the building due to vandalism and theft. This is not who Prairie View is, and we expect more from our students. We expect them to model and live our core values of Hawks. “At this point, we are all accountable to turn this around and start taking care of our building and being good humans and ThunderHawks.”

Job training on the menu at Mountain View Cafe BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There are two benefits to the Sept. 15 grand opening of the Work Options Mountain View Cafe in Westminster, according to Adams County officials. First, it will provide job training for Adams County residents, both for those hoping to work in the food service field and for those just hoping to find work. “Our mission is to help people get and keep jobs in the foodservice industry, particularly those with barriers to keep or getting jobs before,” Work Options for Women Executive Director Julie Stone said during grand opening. “That can be barriers as small as

needing eyeglasses or complicated as having housing issues.” It’s a bonus for Adams County employees who work in Westminster’s Adams County Human Services building, too, according to Eddie Valdez, deputy director of Adams County Human Services. The building has housed privately operated cafeterias in the space before, but they did not stick around. “I can’t speak for everybody, but I’m personally excited to have food back our the building again,” Valdez said. County officials joined staff from Denver-based Work Options and corporate sponsor Swire Coca Cola for the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the cafeteria, located on the

ready to return to nursing?

third floor of the Human Services Center, 11860 Pecos St., Westminster. The cafe will offer weekday breakfast and lunch options, including pastries, sandwiches and burgers. The cafe has been in operation in Westminster since mid-August, Work Options for Women Executive Director Julie Stone said. But it’s the latest in a series of job training opportunities the group has offered for the last 25 years. Stone said the group operates mostly in Denver, offering a four-week culinary skills program, a six-week culinary basics program — covering safety and sanitation, grill and shortorder cooking, salad bar, sauteing and an introduction to baking. Finally, it offers a two-year sous

chef apprentice training program. “Our training is fast, free and focused on our students,” she said. “And, as of three weeks ago, it’s available here in Adams County.” For many of the programs students, the training leads to their first real job. Most have been homeless at one time or another and three-quarters have had some involvement with law enforcement, she said. “Our staff train our students in the skills and our case manager works with each student to create a plan to reduce the barriers that have prevented them from succeeding before,” Stone said. “As they work through our program, they can develop the confidence to get their first job but also to keep that job.”

Building a future along the Front Range Boot camp aims to build construction confidence BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Kari Spicer snapped a photograph as the timber frames of a house went up at her job site overlooking Rocky Mountain National Park. The building plans, the ones she was holding in her hands, had come to life before her eyes. Spicer is a graduate of the Colorado Homebuilding Academy’s construction boot camp. In just four weeks at the camp, she learned to read a blueprint, operate power tools, frame up a wall and more. She credits the organization with exposing her to the world of construction and guiding her through a career change. “I’ve always known that I really am into building things,” the 29-year-old resident of Denver said. Spicer previously worked as a snowmaker and an EMT. The academy helped her craft a resume and cover letter that highlighted her new skills as well as previous experience. And about a week after graduation, she landed a job in the industry, she said. She currently works as an administrative coordinator for ReThink Enterprise, a custom home building company. Now the construction skills boot camp is coming to Westminster,

starting Sept. 27. Colorado Homebuilding Academy, in partnership with Uplands Community Collective, is bringing its training and career counseling to the corner of North Lowell Boulevard and West 88th Avenue. For a month, classes will run three hours a day, four days a week under a tent in the parking lot of the defunct watering hole Davies Locker. “We know that there’s a significant number of construction

workers that live in the surrounding communities,” said Eric Kornacki, executive director of Uplands Community Collective. “But maybe they don’t have all of the training and certification they need.” In addition to basic construction skills, graduates of the program receive an OSHA-10 certificate. The safety certification from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is required by a lot of employers in the construction

industry, said Andy Coy, a recruiter for the academy. The organization works to address the lack of laborers in the state’s homebuilding field that began long before the pandemic and continues to this day. As of July 2021, the state employed 10,000 fewer construction workers than it did two years ago, according to The Colorado Sun’s recent analysis of SEE BUILDING, P5

state employment data. “The bottom line is there’s a shortage of skilled workers,” said Don Hanson, president and owner of Full House Construction & Design Inc. The South Denver general contracting company specializes in remodeling and is a featured employer at the academy’s Sept. 23 career fair. Hanson is looking for skilled workers and would hire five or six more people, increasing his workforce by a third, if he could find the right ones. He’s not alone. Spicer said ReThink Enterprise will also be at the fair. If it had enough labor, the company could do ten times the number of projects it currently does, she said. “Having a school like this, that

Utah-based health care group merging with SCL health Platte Valley, Lutheran Medical Center joining Intermountain health BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

SCL Health, which runs Platte Valley and Lutheran medical centers, and Utah-based Intermountain Health announced their intent to merge on Sept. 16. When complete — perhaps early next year — the combined non-profit system will employ more than 58,000 caregivers and operate 33 hospitals, and it will operate 385 clinics across six states, according to a press statement. Linda Jumonville, president and CEO of SCL Health, and Dr. Marc Harrison, CEO of Intermountain Health, based in Salt Lake City, said the merger wouldn’t mean layoffs or changes in available products/

services. “This merger wasn’t done with a need to cut costs,” Jumonville said. “We operate efficiently because there is no geographic overlap. I expect very little change, Jumonville other than to accelerate innovative approaches faster.” “Day to day, we’re going to work to get better with the tools we bring to bear,” Harrison said. SCL Health is a a faith-based organizaHarrison tion affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. Intermountain Healthcare has been secular since the original hospitals in the system were donated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. SCL Health will give up its corporate name and overall leadership to the larger Intermountain, but the individual Colorado hospitals such

as St. Joseph and Good Samaritan will retain their names and their religious identity. The Intermountain hospitals will remain secular. Harrison and Jumonville didn’t promise an absence of increased health-care costs once the new company is in place. “If you go and look at our track record, objectively speaking, we provide high-quality care at low cost,” Harrison said. “The future is bright. We are getting interest from insurers. “We have great relations with our payers,” Jumonville added. “They believe we are committed to affordable health care. They are going to think this (the merger) is a good thing.” SCL requires COVID vaccinations of its employees. Intermountain Health does not. Harrison said the vaccination rate was “north of 80 percent.” “The public health emergency is over the thousands of people who are not vaccinated,” he said. “Intermountain complies with federal

regulations. We would never leave our patients in a lurch.” “We’re evaluating what we need to do with respect to the order of the administration” requiring vaccines of businesses with more than 100 employees, Jumonville said. The press statement said the merged organization will create a model health system to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable health care to more patients and communities in Colorado, “There aren’t too many times when you can create something so special,” Jumonville said. “Our teams are so aligned. We chose to do this. This is the right thing for our health communities.” “The pay-provider model, when done right, makes health care affordable,” Harrison said. “Together, we can do more of this.” Jumonville said there are better ways to deliver health care. “We need to move more into homes, more into telehealth,” she said. “We need to accelerate it.”

15-year sentence for man who livestreamed his drive down E-470 STAFF REPORT

An Adams County judge sentenced a 44-year-old man to 15 years in prison after his vehicular homicide conviction earlier this summer. According to a press statement, Bryan Kirby was livestreaming to his Facebook page while driving along E-470 in October 2018. The DA’s office said Kirby’s speed reached between 120 mph and 150

mph. At one point, the DA said Kirby accelerated to 167 mph, addressed his livestream and said, “We cruise at 140.” The statement said Kirby continued to drive at speeds of between 140 mph and 155 mph while making comments to Facebook viewers about the speed at which he was driving. Near the end of the livestream, Kirby accelerated from 117 mph to 120 mph. A dark sedan was in the right lane. Kirby rapidly

approached the other vehicle, the press statement said, crossed over the center line and struck the rear of the other vehicle. The estimated speed was 120 mph. One person died at the scene. Kirby fled the area before his subsequent arrest. “Mr. Kirby’s unconscionable and reckless actions took a life and destroyed a family,” said Mason’s statement. “My hope is this conviction will serve as a warning for oth-

The 6th District includes most of Aurora and Arapahoe County, a safe seat for incumbent Rep. Jason Crow, of Centennial, with a 15% Democratic advantage. The 7th District now includes most of Jefferson County, but also small portions of Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas and El Paso counties as well as all of seven mountain counties. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, of Arvada, would find himself in a potentially competitive district with a 6% Democratic advantage. The new 8th District includes much of Adams and Weld counties, including Greeley, Thornton, Commerce City and much of Westminster. Democratic state Rep. Yadira Carveo, of Thornton, recently announced plans to run in the district, which has a Democratic advantage of about 4%. The political competitiveness of the districts is based on an average of election results from eight statewide races between 2016 and 2020.

lican candidate and the percent of votes cast for a Democratic candidate. There’s disagreement about what constitutes a “competitive district.” While the Independent Legislative Redistricting Commis-

sion views an advantage of 8.5% or lower as a competitive district, the congressional commission hasn’t defined a range. Morgan Carroll, chair of the Colorado Democratic Party, disputed the congressional commis-

ers who even contemplate this kind of behavior. Put your phone down when you drive, and do not ever live stream yourself driving a car.

sion’s formula for determining the political competitiveness of a district. “Measuring competitiveness by focusing on strong years for one party and ignoring 2014 — which was a strong year for the other party — is simply wrong,” Carroll said in a statement. “As a result, this could very likely end up a 4-4 map after the midterms, which is in no way reflective of Colorado voters.” Currently, four of Colorado’s seven U.S. House members are Democrats. Members of Congress don’t need to live in the district they represent. A third congressional map drawn by staff may be released Sept. 23, if the commission doesn’t adopt a plan before then. The commission must adopt a map by Sept. 28 to submit to the Colorado Supreme Court by Oct. 1. Mark Harden of Colorado Community Media contributed.

Adding experience to life’s greatest teachers

his column is dedicated to all the wonderful and committed teachers in our communities. Before the pandemic began, they already had my deepest respect. So, a big shout-out to each WINNING teacher in my life who helped me in WORDS some way along life’s journey, I appreciate you all so much. Teachers have a special gift and calling. And yet teachers are also grossly overworked and unMichael Norton derpaid, and in many cases, overly criticized and underappreciated. All of this has become amplified over the past 19 months as our already stretched education system is caught in the collateral damage of the pandemic and other societal pressure points. Masks, vaccinations, social distancing, hybrid learning, conflicting curriculums, forced curriculum change mandates, belief systems and constrained budgets all coming to a boil of disruption at the same time. My admiration for the teaching community only

increases as they continue to pour into their students while giving tirelessly of themselves. By the way, I am including the entire teaching community. Educators at every level, coaches, mentors, trainers, corporate learning teams. Each person who has a platform to develop their students, learners, and those they coach must deal with the very same things as someone who is teaching in a classroom, teaching virtually, or in some hybrid delivery model. What can we talk about? What can’t we say? Where are the boundaries? Are there any boundaries? How do we stay healthy? How can we keep our students safe? Is what we taught yesterday still relevant, let alone accepted today? Are there new skills, thoughts and theories that need to be explored? These are just a few of the variables and curveballs being thrown at those responsible for our education and personal and professional development. Here is the upside. Never in history has the learning community been in such a position to acquire knowledge through academic, coaching, and training best practices coupled with

access to information. And never has there been a time where we have had the opportunity to experience life with all its conflicts, contrasts, and challenges that we are living through today. Teaching theory, providing structure and concepts for problem-solving are important. And when we add the potency of real-world experiential learning to the solid fundamentals and advanced applications of teaching we have an enormous opportunity for growth. Some believe that experience is life’s greatest teacher. This is only true if we learn from those experiences. The important thing is that when we fail, and we will, that we learn from that failure. Equally as important is that when we succeed, we learn from our successes. If we will let it, life has so much to teach us when it comes to understanding what works and what doesn’t work in the real-world. Life teaches us how to live, communicate, and optimize our performance at home and at work. As we think about the future generations and the future leaders in our communities, government and in the workplace, we should be thinking about how we could impact their growth and the

future of society. Are we encouraging our teachers, educators, coaches and students at every level through dialogue or are we talking at them? When we provide life experiences and we are actively and openly talking about what is happening locally and globally today, we will have the greatest impact on where out students are going tomorrow. “The best teachers are those who show you were to look but don’t tell you what to see.” - Alexandra K. Trenfor. We have a lot of people telling us where to look and what to see and hear right now. As students, and we are all students, we should consistently be challenging ourselves to look at life through the lens of concepts, theories, and experience. Do you have a favorite teacher, coach, mentor, or trainer? Are you learning and growing from life’s lessons? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can add our life experiences to our learning, it really will be a better than good year.

Can we really prevent suicide? Maybe

t’s no secret that Colorado has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. But what remains elusive is why and what we can do about it to truly make a significant difference. As the former state legislator who led the estabGUEST lishment of the Colorado Suicide COLUMN Prevention Commission, and a commissioner serving on it now, my commitment to finding the answer is fierce. But as a suicide-loss survivor, my drive for this quest is even Linda Newell stronger. By now, almost everyone probably knows that it is Suicide Prevention Month across the country. I could go on and on with a whole bunch of statistics alarming you of the too-often occurrence of someone killing themselves in Colorado, but instead, let’s focus on what we can do to potentially prevent it.

It is not only up to therapists, hospitals, and the government to take action. Yes, we can continue to focus on it and build an infrastructure of systems and resources that people in need can use. And in Colorado, we’re doing a good job of that, considering the lean state budgets we have. But what can you and I do to stop anyone from harming themselves? Well, if we’re too late in the process, we can sometimes do nothing, honestly. And in those circumstances, we will hopefully not allow ourselves to feel guilt or ask ourselves, “What could I have done?” Sometimes, we are completely unaware of what’s going on inside another person, and there’s nothing we can do about it. However, there are some proactive things we can do to “set the infrastructure” in our families and relationships that can make a big difference, and even save a life. Let’s talk about our children, for instance. We may not want to admit it, but the statistics show that in Colora-

do, some children are considering ending their own lives as early as 6 years old. Why? What drives a child to think about that or even think of suicide as an option? And what can we do to prevent that? Research tells us that one of the most effective protective factors against youth suicide is the child having a relationship with at least one trusted adult. As an example, this one supportive relationship can be a parent, family member, teacher, minister, or therapist. Having someone who can listen, give loving advice, or just intentionally sit with them occasionally can be profound in them feeling heard and being accepted just as they are. That then can lead to feeling cared about and a sense of hope in the surrounding community. As minor as this may sound, this one act can make a big difference in a child’s mental well-being. So, prioritizing our time with our kiddos and using empathy and listening skills can serve as a protective shield against them

having thoughts of hopelessness or self-harm that can lead to suicide. If we all took the time to act proactively by creating more loving and supportive relationships with each other, that one act could eventually be saving a life. Don’t wait till it’s too far down the line and they’re cutting themselves, abusing drugs or alcohol, or showing signs of actual suicidal thoughts. Let’s do what we can preventively in our own families and community before it’s too late. If you or a loved one is having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please reach out to your therapist or call 800-273-8255 or 911.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Pledge to be better Over the past year, a friend of mine who is Asian-American has been encountering discourtesy and sometimes downright hostility in Brighton and the county that she can only really ascribe to racial prejudice. This ought not be. We are all Americans together and under our constitution and Declaration of Independence have pledged to do better than that. So we must be. David Stevenson, Adams County

Uncovering his history in Fort Lupton Bill Taylor relies on multiple tools to track his family, others through time BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For Fort Lancaster volunteer handyman Bill Taylor, the past is something extremely personal. “My dad is a walking encyclopedia and has spent years tracing our family roots, “ said Willy Taylor, vice president of the Platte Valley Historical Society and Bill Taylor’s son. A Fort Lupton native, William “Bill” Alan Taylor can trace his family ancestry back to the 1600s, tsailing to America on the Mayflower and eventually settling in New Jersey before relocating to Illinois. Taylor’s family migrated from Illinois to uColorado during the gold rush. Taylor was born in Fort Lupton July 7, 1943 but his roots can be traced to Brighton, too, where his mother, Annabelle, was adopted by a Swedish family named Bergman. Taylor had two sisters; both have passed away. Taylor has two chilOdren, his son Willy, and a daughter named Kim. “They lived east of Brighton by the water tower,” said Taylor. Since 2006, Taylor has volunteered for the Platte Valley Historical Society, giving tours, doing maintenance work, and helping with the restora-

tion of Fort Lancaster. Famous family When Taylor is not working at the Fort, he spends time researching his family ancestry. Taylor said his great-great-grandpa, Felix Doughty, volunteered along with many settlers that joined the regiment of Abraham Lincoln in the Black Hawk Indian war of 1832. Doughty also fought in the Mexican-American war from 1846 to 1848. “Felix Doughty, came to Fort Lupton from Macoupin County, Illinois, in 1863. We found land grants seven miles from Fort Lupton, where he had about 600 acres,” said Taylor. “There are several variances of the last name Doughty,” Taylor continued. “My tenth great-grandpa was named Doti; he came over on the Mayflower in 1620 on a good harbor ship then on into New Jersey. We have over 1,000 cousins we will never know.” Taylor’s great-aunt from his moms’ side was the famous Rattlesnake Kate Slaughterback who, in 1925, killed more than 140 snakes in a Hudson pond where she and her son were looking for ducks that hunters left behind. The photos, letters, and artifacts of her snake dresses are in the Greeley Museum and some of her photos are at the Fort Lupton Museum. The chicken coop Kate lived in is in Taylor’s backyard. He also has some of her artifacts, letters, and photos of Slaughterback. Taylor also traced his family roots

to the Teagardens, who left England for Solvang Germany in the 1500s to get away from Cromwell’s religious persecutions. “They were toolmakers and had 13 gristmills in the Walker River. If you ever pick up a knife and it says ‘Solomon’ on the blade- that’s my Teagarden family,” said Taylor. Hidden graves Taylor’s other interest is using dowsing rods to locate graves, and he claims he found more than 100 graves around Fort Lancaster by researching the settlers traveling through the area. Dowsing has been a subject of discussion and controversy for thousands of years, and adherents claim it’s useful in locating water too. The practice uses a copper rod, stick, or pendulum to locate something hidden. Based on the historical research of the area near Fort Lancaster, the old U.S. Highway 85 used to be the trappers’ trail from Santa Fe into Montana. The settlers, with families or large groups, traveled through the area as the main passage. So, when someone died, they had to bury them immediately. “You could not hang on to them four three to four days like you do today,” said Taylor. “And they were buried usually about three feet deep so the animals wouldn’t dig them out.” Today, it is illegal to dig up those graves, yet people keep asking Taylor if he’s going to push to excavate those graves.

“I say ‘no’ because we want to do it legally,” he said. Neal Du Shane of Fort Collins is the coordinator for Pioneer Cemetery Restoration Project. He taught Taylor and his son, Willy, how to use dowsing rods which are used based on research of the history of a particular area. “While it is illegal to disturb graves, dig them up, on occasion – with the assistance and legal approval of the cemetery director – I’ve assisted in verifying graves. The keyword in what we do, is our ‘belief’ these are graves are based on our research and dowsing,” said Du Shane. “I have personally assisted in finding some of the unmarked graves at and near the Fort Lancaster. I’m confident in the results using dowsing.” When Taylor is performing the dowsing ritual over an area, he issues a verbal command based on research of the area, such as, “Is there a grave buried there?” “The dowsing rods energy automatically cross over each other, indicating a grave is located in the area. Or, sometimes, they do not move,” said Taylor. He has been right at least once, Taylor said. His dowsing rods indicated a grave that was buried on the Fort Lancaster grounds. Later, his son Willie and a ground-penetrating radar operator checked that spot. “He was able to locate and capture images of an old-style casket underground near Fort Lancaster. My dad has photos of it,” said Willie Taylor. PRESENTED BY

Mask rules drive parents’ demand for doctor notes Colorado pediatricians are being bombarded with requests

children — that, with rare exceptions, they can be “safely worn” by children 2 and older. “If I issue a mask exemption for your child, and they infect a child who is undergoing chemotherapy, a newborn, or a pregnant teacher, who, as a result of being infected (die), I AM RESPONSIBLE.”

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado parents are seeking an end-run around mask requirements at their children’s schools: Doctor’s notes exempting them for dubious medical reasons. And in mask-averse Douglas County, where elected leaders already opted to create their own health department to sidestep unpopular COVID-19 public health orders, some parents aren’t taking “no” for an answer. Hundreds of parents have called Pediatrics at the Meadows in Castle Rock to request doctor’s notes — some who turned angry when their requests were denied and promised “physical, financial and political revenge.” “We understand and empathize with families who are looking for ways to help their children avoid the burden of mask-wearing. Trust me, I get it,” Dr. Michael Milobsky said in a Facebook post about the flood of calls that left staff members feeling “under attack.” But Milobsky said the clinic would continue to side with American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations regarding mask-wearing for

Demand for notes jumps Demand for doctor’s notes is spiking as mask policies remain contested across the state, sparking heated public health meetings and leading to increased police presence at some schools as children returned to classes this fall. The school year got underway just as the highly transmissible coronavirus delta variant drove a wave of new infections across Colorado. As of Sept. 13, the state Department of Public Health and Environment reported 80 ongoing outbreaks of the coronavirus at K-12 schools across the state. In recent says, Dr. Hector de Leon in Fort Collins said he has received at least a dozen requests for doctor’s notes exempting children, and that his colleagues based in Denver have received several requests a day. Explaining to parents who insist their children not wear a mask has been a challenge at times. “More often than not we are not able to write these letters,” said de Leon, a pediatrician with Kaiser Permanente. “We give families other

tips and tools to get the masks going. I understand that it is a tough thing that parents are faced with. But our job is to try to keep as many kids as possible safe and from getting sick with COVID.” Many pediatricians, like de Leon and Milobsky, stand by the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendation for universal mask wearing in schools given that the majority of the student population is ineligible for vaccines. Wearing masks is proven to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and protect those who are not vaccinated. Even so, some parents are frustrated and others become upset when de Leon refuses to write the notes, he said. “It’s important to start by framing for families why we are doing this and why we are asking for masks, still. The fact is, with children, kids under 12 especially, we don’t have a vaccine for them. So we’re trying to get them back in school in a safe way,” de Leon said. Jeffco reviews requests As of Sept. 7, Jeffco Public Schools had received 208 mask exemption requests, 59 of which were denied because the application did not meet the requirements outlined by Jeffco Public Health, school district spokeswoman Cameron Bell said. While the school district does not set the criteria for mask exemptions, it is reviewing requests to ensure they meet the requirements of the

public health order issued by the county’s public health department in late August, Bell said. The Jeffco district also received 281 religious exemption requests, which were all denied as they do not meet the criteria of the public health order, she said. In southwest Colorado, the schools in San Luis haven’t reported an uptick in doctor’s notes for children, said Toby Melster, superintendent of Centennial School District R-1. “I’ve seen some of the stories about the contentious board meetings where they are going to be discussing either wearing a mask or not wearing a mask,” Melster said. “But so far, our community has been really good. We haven’t had a lot of pushback, to be honest with you.” At least three of the schools in the San Luis Valley that do not require its students to wear masks have had to quarantine classrooms due to COVID-19 infections, but the Centennial School District, which is based in the town of San Luis and requires masks, has not had to require any of its classes to quarantine thus far, Melster said. List of reasons is short Despite the large number of requests for notes, the list of medicalbased reasons to not wear a mask is short, said Dr. Sara Saporta-Keating, an infectious disease specialist from Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Douglas County reps level NOTES accusations at Tri-County Health

MORE ON THE MASK DEBATE ONLINE

FROM PAGE 10

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kevin Bracken, Douglas County’s newest representative on the TriCounty Health Department board — a longtime critic of the agency — has asked it to investigate what he alleges was “illegal” activity regarding the video recording of the board’s Aug. 30 meeting. And another Douglas County representative to the board, Linda Fielding, accused fellow board members of being “compromised” at the meeting. The Aug. 30 meeting saw contentious exchanges between Tri-County officials leading up to the agency’s decision to require mask wearing by everyone inside schools as a COVID-19 safety measure and to repeal the ability of counties to opt out of its public health orders. Those actions have met with stout opposition from Douglas County’s elected commissioners, who are taking steps to pull the county out of its 55-year-old relationship with Tri-County, the publichealth agency for Douglas, Adams and Arapahoe counties. The Douglas County School District is enforcing the mask rule, however. Bracken emailed his accusations to other Tri-County board members, along with elected leaders in the three counties. The email was forwarded to Colorado Community Media by Douglas County Commissioner George Teal.

For more, go to TheBrightonBlade.com

In his email, Bracken referred to his comments at the Aug. 30 meeting. “I just want it noted that the (video of the) Aug. 30 meeting had a very concerning fast forward through several of the board members’ comments. (Comments of) mine and Dr. Fielding in particular were (affected) more than any other board members,” Bracken said during the Board of Health’s Sept. 9 meeting. Bracken added: “I find it very concerning if this file was edited.” ‘Was it intentional or not?’ Ronnae Brockman, the Tri-County executive assistant who helps run health board meetings, criticized Bracken’s comments and called them “false claims.” “If you continue to engage in this hostile and defamatory behavior, I will take legal action against you,” Brockman told Bracken. Bracken responded that he never alleged that Brockman, specifically, edited the video. Brockman said that because of her position, when Bracken says a video was edited, “that is defamatory to me.” “There is a difference between saying, ‘Hey, you guys, I noticed this is something happened on your video,’” Brockman said. “It’s very different than your accusatory email.”

“Ultimately, what it comes down to is a person’s ability to take a mask off if there is a problem,” Saporta-Keating said. Children younger than 2 are exempt, as are children who physically are unable to take off their mask or unable to communicate that they need the mask off in an emergency situation, she said. “Really what we try to do is weigh the risk and benefits of wearing the mask versus potentially getting COVID,” she said. While some parents feel wearing a mask could be difficult for children with asthma, it can actually provide them with more protection and potentially shield them from other respiratory diseases that could trigger an attack, Saporta-Keating said. She said she received an email from her 4-year-old son’s pediatrician earlier this year — before parents could start requesting notes — stating that the practice would be advising children 2 years and older to wear a mask, in line with AAP’s guidance. “They were proactive about it,” she said. Her son and his classmates are doing very well with their masks inside the classroom, she said. “So I certainly think it is not only parents’ peace of mind, but I think the school and teachers’ peace of mind as well, understanding that when there is good

Fewer outbreaks in schools also means that children will have more access to their support systems in schools, rather than being isolated at home, SaportaKeating said. “We know there are a lot of challenges with mental health, particularly right now,” she said, “but one thing we know is that the return to normalcy and the return to the support systems that children have in their schools is incredibly important and can actually benefit them from a mental health standpoint.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Climber reaches for dream Local teen finished seventh in Tokyo Olympics BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

the humid, hot weather they’d be competing in. “I think the most noticeable difference for me was the heat,” Duffy said. “I’ve always been used to dry heat and a lack of humidity, so being in such an intense climate and having to compete outdoors in that was really kind of hard to adjust to.”

When Colin Duffy first laid eyes on an indoor climbing wall, he was only 3 years old. The colorful holds drew his attention and he begged his parents to let him give the sport a try. By 7, he was climbing in full-sized gyms. And now, at 17, Duffy was the youngest competitor in the first-ever Olympic sport climbing event. “I think I just love how unique of a physical challenge it is,” he said about the sport. “Not only do you have to be strong enough to solve the climbs and problems but you also have to use your brain, figuring out body position and what the best strategy is going to be for each route.” Duffy, a Broomfield resident and a student of Stargate Charter School in the Adams 12 district, grew up climbing in the area. He frequents local rock climbing gyms like G1 Climbing + Fitness, and his favorite local spot to climb outdoors is Rocky Mountain National Park. Duffy qualified for this year’s Olympic Games in 2020 when he won the International Federation of Sport Climbing’s Pan American Championship in Los Angeles. “I was kind of just awestruck after qualifying,” he said. “It didn’t really feel real.” Then, the Olympic Games were delayed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leading up to the Tokyo Olympics, Duffy, like many Olympic athletes, had to face a variety of new training methods due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For several months, gyms were closed and Duffy had to practice his climbing on an at-home wall in his basement. When gyms opened, he adjusted to training while wearing a mask. Then, two weeks before the climbing competitions started, he traveled with the rest of the four-person U.S. team to Tokyo in early August. Once in Japan, Duffy and his colleagues began to work on acclimating to

Sport details At this year’s Olympics, the sport climbing event displayed three disciplines of indoor climbing: bouldering, lead climbing and speed climbing. In the bouldering event, athletes attempt to scale short, challenging pre-set routes, also known as problems, which are made up of plastic imitation rocks of various shapes and sizes. The walls in this event are about 15 feet high and surrounded by large pads. Climbers don’t use any rope for this event. During lead climbing, the athletes are tied into a rope as they see how high they can get on a wall more than 50 feet high. As they climb, the competitors attach their rope into clips placed along the wall. On the ground, a belayer attached to the same rope is ready to catch the climber if they fall or finish the route. While each route and problem in the lead climbing and bouldering disciplines is unique and never-before-seen by the athletes, the speed climbing event is different in that it presents the same route in every competition. Athletes dart up this standard route to see how quickly they can press a touchpad at the top. The fastest speed at the finals of the Olympics was 6.02 seconds. In this year’s Olympics, climbers were required to participate in all three events, with their score being determined by how they ranked in each one. Some in the sport criticized this format because of the inherent differences between speed climbing and the other two disciplines. Duffy’s favorite climbing events are bouldering and lead climbing, he said. In the next Olympic games, there will be one competition for speed climbing and one combining bouldering and lead. Duffy was one of eight climbers who made it into the Olympic finals out of 20 male athletes. In the finals,

he finished seventh overall. In the speed competition he ranked fifth, with 6.35 as his fastest time. In the bouldering event he finished in fourth place, and in the lead competition he ranked third. Nathaniel Coleman, the other male climber from the U.S., took silver in the competition. Brooke Raboutou — from Boulder, Colorado — placed fifth in the women’s competition. “I had a lot of fun,” Duffy said. “I think a lot of people probably look at it as the most intense event possible, but I think outside of the competition days, being around the village and being surrounded by so many incredible athletes, everyone is always smiling and just happy to be there with their teammates.” Enjoying the games As the youngest climber there, Duffy felt like he was able to relax and not put too much pressure on himself, he said. “I think it allowed me to climb pretty loosely, especially in the qualifiers, I felt like I had nothing to lose being the youngest one there,” he said. “I know I’ll have other opportunities in the future, and being so young, there’s really no pressure or expectations on me, so my main goal was just to have fun.” Due to the pandemic, Duffy’s family was not able to attend the games in person and instead had to wake up each night of the event about 2 a.m. to watch the competition in real

time. But Nancy Duffy, Colin’s mom, said it wasn’t difficult to stay alert. “When your kid is going, you’re nervous,” she said. “So it’s easy to stay awake at that point.” Duffy hopes to compete again in the next Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, he said. “I just hope in the future that climbing continues to gain recognition. I think it’s a sport that … people are really fascinated by,” he said. “It’s much different than the traditional sports you’ll see. Hopefully people that watch the Olympics really enjoy it and it starts to gain more traction.” For those curious about the sport, Duffy has one main piece of advice: “Search for a local gym around you,” he said. “Everyone should try climbing. It’s a very fun sport,” he said. “And probably very different than most people are used to.”

Losing key players is no problem for Riverdale Ridge BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

THORNTON -- If anyone thought Riverdale Ridge’s softball team might lose a step this season, a second guess might be forthcoming. The Ravens, who advanced to the state 4A quarterfinals a year ago, lost pitcher Makenna Meyer, catcher Destiny Hackney and infielder Nikki Waddle, among others, to graduation. Yet with a cast sprinkled with newcomers and some veterans, RRHS has a record of 14-3, entering play this week. “It is very surprising,” said coach Ray Garza. “I don’t they’ve been replaced. We’ve got girls who have filled the shoes and have done some great things. The girls have bought into the girls we replaced them with. Wow. It’s been amazing to see.” “It’s been a rollercoaster, for sure,” said Sydnee Fordham, whose four hits helped the Ravens to a 14-4 win

over Niwot Sept. 16. “Our team is really young. We have a lot of freshmen on our team. They’ve stepped

up and filled their roles. Our seniors have also taken on some large roles. Our starting shortstop, third baseman and centerfielder are seniors.” Fordham said there was a different sense of chemistry this year. “There are a lot of younger girls,” she said. “It’s not like we are building from something we had. It was building from basically nothing. To fill those spots, we’ve created relationships.” Fordham said the success was a surprise to her. “I did not think we were going to be as good,” Fordham said. “Our freshman pitcher stepped up, and so did our upperclassmen.” Fordham is a senior and feels like an extra coach on the field. “I lead by example. I’m a captain, but I’m not a vocal person,” she said. “I get my job done. It’s hard to take on the responsibility. I’ve done an OK job with that and filling my role. I have fun on and off the field.

On the field, I’m more serious -- get the job done and be friends off the field.” Garza said some of the Ravens’ inexperience may have played a part in the three losses. “We could easily be undefeated,” Garza said. “We have to keep fighting. My hat’s tipped to all their coaches during the summer. I have very little to do with this. I just try to keep the engine running.” Five games remain on the Ravens’ schedule, including a contest with perennial softball power Frederick High School. “I get the opportunity to build a team-unity piece,” Garza said. “I don’t take credit for any of these girls. I try to be the mold and the glue. We’re trying to find that strong bond. We’re going to do what we can and continue this nice ride. Hopefully, we can finish strong.” “It’s a fun team,” Fordham said. “This is the best team we’ve had.”
