City, chamber eye new deal for vacant depot Chamber hopes to make Bridge Street space home to events BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chamber of Commerce President Natalie Cummings said she imagines the Taste of Brighton festival of food returning and moving to the area east of 4th Avenue on Bridge Street, taking over the parking lots surrounding the Anythink Brighton Library and the Armory Performing Arts Center - with the historic depot right at the center. “We’d like to utilize the indoor space at the depot as well as the outdoor space as a venue with the armory, taking over the parking lot that connects the two,” Cummings told City Councilors at the Jan. 11 study session. “We’d bring in food trucks and possibly live music to bring that event back. The idea is that it would continue to grow.” But the chamber needs to be in con-

trol of the depot first, and the chamber and the Brighton City Council made some progress on that front. The City Council said they were fine with a lease for the depot during their Jan 11 study session. City Manager Michael Martinez said councilors should see the lease on their Jan. 18 consent agenda. The proposed 36-month lease would see the city charge the chamber $9 per square foot for the upper portion of the historic train depot, located at 269 E. Bridge St. - about $18,00 per year. Under the proposed agreement, the city would waive the first three months of rent, with the first $1,500 monthly payment coming due on May 1. The lease covers the upper portion of the depot, roughly 2,000 square feet. The lease allows the chamber to use the basement as storage. Vacant space It’s not the first time the city has made plans for the depot, and not the first time the city and the Chamber of Commerce have been close on using the depot. The building was used as a train

depot for Union and Pacific Railroad for most of the 20th century, before being decommissioned in 1970 and moved to the current site in 1980. It had housed restaurants, offices and a bike shop until the city purchased it in 2018, approving leases for the space with a restaurant and the chamber in 2019. Both agreements fell apart quickly, and the space has been vacant since then. Councilor Mary Ellen Pollack said

she is skeptical about the depot and the chamber’s intentions there. “What happens now, do we give you three months free, and then you’re gone again?” Pollack said. “The chamber has not exactly earned my trust. It’s not just for me, but for the residents. And when you make a commitment, why don’t you keep it?” City Manager Michael Martinez SEE CHAMBER, P4

Virus surge may be ‘more severe than prior waves’ Health officials urge getting vaccine, booster; hospital data spiking BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Local public health officials and analysts implored the public not to let its guard down as the omicron variant drives a dramatic coronavirus surge in Colorado. “We believe it is important for Coloradans to know that there is a high probability of coming into contact with someone with (coronavirus) in the days ahead,” a statement from the COVID-19 tracking team led by the Colorado School of Public Health said. The new virus variant is driving record-shattering numbers of record-

ed new daily cases, and the number of patients currently hospitalized for COVID-19 in Colorado has spiked back up since late December. That number was 1,374 confirmed COVID-19 patients as of Jan. 7, according to state data. “Even though infection from the Omicron variant appears to result in lower risk of hospitalization than the Delta variant, hospital demand could exceed prior peaks based on high number of cases caused by Omicron and its ability to cause infection among previously vaccinated or infected individuals,” said the Jan. 3 statement from the Colorado COVID-19 Modeling Group, a team that analyzes data to provide projections on how the pandemic will continue to unfold. The virus is spreading at record rates in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, for example, according to Tri-County Health Department.

“These next few weeks are likely to be among the most challenging we have faced over the past year,” John Douglas, executive director of TriCounty Health, in a news release. According to Tri-County Health data, 3,193 new cases were reported on Dec. 31 across the three counties, the most on any single day since the start of the pandemic up to that point, the agency said in the release. All three counties have exceeded their all-time high seven-day incidence rates — which were previously set in November 2020 — with rates exceeding 1,000 cases per 100,000 people in each, according to the release. (“Incidence rate” means the rate of new cases.) “Over the past two weeks, Adams County rates increased by 403%, Arapahoe County by 437%, and Douglas County by 480%,” Tri-County said in the Jan. 5 release. In addition, COVID test-positivity

rates are also at record levels, greater than 25% in each county, according to the release, referring to the percentage of tests that come back positive. “Although hospitalization rates have not risen as much thus far, hospital capacity in our counties and region remains critically tight,” the release added. Omicron has rapidly become the dominant variant, now making up virtually 100% of Colorado COVID-19 cases, the release said, citing state data. “The highly infectious nature of this variant means that this wave could be shorter but also more severe than prior waves,” the school of public health’s statement said. “We are most concerned about unvaccinated and immunocompromised individuals, who face the greatest risk of SEE SURGE, P13

27J’s graduation rate increases for a fourth year than 90 percent, the district said. These schools, plus the district’s alternative high school, Innovations and Options, all saw improvement over last year’s graduation rate. The district’s newest high school, Riverdale Ridge, posted its first graduation rate at 93.8 percent this year. 27J Schools’ graduation rate now has exceeded the state average for four consecutive years. “Improving a large system like ours takes a lot of teamwork and dedication. I have to thank the class of 2021, their parents and all of Team 27J for this historic accomplishment,” Fiedler said. “This is the highest graduation rate in the district’s history.” 27J Schools includes the city of Brighton, and parts of Thornton, Commerce City, Lochbuie, Aurora, Broomfield and Weld County. The district’s statement said new families are moving into the district at a record pace, and student enrollment numbers are increasing by about 500 to 800 students per year over the last five years alone. In 2000, the district served 5,000 students while today, it has about 20,300 students enrolled. That number represents a diverse student population, according to the district -- 57.7 percent Hispanic students, 42 percent white students, 3.2 percent Asian students, 2.1 percent black students, 3.6 percent students of two or more races, 0.3 of 1 percent American Indian students and 0.2 of 1 percent native Hawaiian students. “We’re doing a much better job of helping stu-

BY STAFF REPORTS

The graduation rate in 27J Schools increased for a fourth year in a row, according to a press statement. The rate increased two percent to 88.2 percent, an all-time high, said the district. “This is proof positive that our efforts to keep kids in school and on track to graduate on time are working,” 27J Schools Superintendent Chris Fiedler said in the statement. “Earning that high-school diploma is critical to any student’s success whether they decide to go to college, to a trade school or immediately enter the workforce. It’s the key to more and better opportunities.” The district’s statement said 27J Schools has the highest graduation rate among Adams County school districts. The statement also said it posted gains among its Hispanic and white students. Hispanic students netted an increased graduation rate of nearly 4 percent to 86.7 percent, which earns 27J Schools the highest Hispanic student graduation rate in the Denver metro area. White students also increased their graduation rate 2.3 percentage points to 90.6 percent. The district’s graduation rate exceeds the state average in every ethnic group, the statement said. Three Brighton high schools – Brighton High School, Eagle Ridge Academy and Prairie View High School – earned graduation rates of more

dents find skills and subjects that really interest them and linking them to STEM and technical education. In those programs, students can do internships in the community and get hands-on training to explore their interests and see how they can make a career out of what they truly like to do,” 27J Schools Chief Academic Officer Will Pierce said. “That’s a powerful incentive to stay in school when you see career options you’d really enjoy.”

Remote learning a possibility in Brighton schools STAFF REPORTS

It’s a case of same song, new verses, new year when it comes to the 27J schools system and COVID-19 concerns. Because of the rising number of COVID cases this winter -- largely because of the omicron variant -and staffing shortages, 27J Schools is telling parents to be ready for a potential return to remote learning. A statement on the district’s website says those factors “...increase the likelihood of individual

schools shifting to remote learning at the last minute this semester.” “We want you to be prepared for this possible change,” the district told parents on its website. “While we will make every effort to communicate any changes with as much notice as possible, changes could be made as early as the morning of the school day that is being shifted to remote learning.” 27J officials stressed the district’s need to have enough teachers in the classroom and enough administrators to make in-school operations safe.

The district makes decisions about each school day based on staff and student health data, the website said. “As a district, we’ve chosen not to issue a blanket decision to use remote learning for every school,” the website said. “Rather, we’re making decisions about each individual school every day. We realize that this may cause you to make last-minute arrangements for your child’s at-home learning.” The check list for parents includes: • Remind your child to bring

home his or her Chromebook every day; Make arrangements now to have a relative, friend or a neighbor who can monitor your child’s online learning if you can’t. • Try to have an agreement with your work supervisor so they know you may need an alternative work arrangement to accommodate your child’s learning from home. “The key is to make these plans now to avoid the stress and anxiety of trying to make all these arrangements at the last minute,” the district said on its website.

27J Schools needs bond oversight committee members BY STAFF REPORT

would be about 22 million electric vehicles on the roads so they could be a need for more than 100,000 fast chargers to accommodate the electric vehicle drivers. The National Electric Highway Coalition speaks for the largest electric utility companies to meet its goals for EV charging infrastructures. Forty-seven states with more than 50 electric utilities have partnered with the coalition for the expansion, according to officials.

said it’s a different chamber now than it was in 2019. “One thing to be cognizant of is that there are all new players involved now, including Natalie and the chamber board,” Martinez said. “You have all new staff. And at the time, the lease presented just didn’t sound like it was actually doable.”

ing nature of the electric industry.” United Power and the National Electric Highway Coalition have the ambition by 2023 to provide more EV charging stations to its infrastructure, according to officials. This past year United Power installed its second EV fast charger in Keenesburg at the Market Street Mart off North East of Denver 1-76 on May 11, 2021. In 2019 at the Coal

Creek office United Power installed its first EV charger. “The Carbon Valley EV fast-charger is scheduled for installation in the first quarter of 2022. There will be one fast-charger and two dualport level two chargers available for public use along 1-25, “ said Joel Danforth, United Power New Business Director. According to officials, by 2030 there

United Power is a member-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperative, delivering electricity to homes, farms, and businesses throughout Colorado’s northern front range. The cooperative is one of the fastest-growing electric cooperatives in the nation, and in June joined the elite ranks of cooperatives serving more than 100,000 meters. The 900 square mile service territory extends from the mountains of Coal Creek and Golden Gate Canyon, along the I-25 corridor and Carbon Valley region, to the farmlands of Brighton, Hudson, and Keenesburg.

Council colleague Tim Watts said he does have doubts, but said the chamber is more active now than it was in 2019. “I can see both sides of the argument and I agree with Councilor Pollack, but this is a different chamber than before,” Watts said. “Before I was on council, I didn’t see a ton of activity from our chamber and now we have more businesses coming in, which gives the chamber more to do.” The chamber’s Cummings said

they have big plans for the site. They’re eager to have more parking and look forward to hosting a visitors bureau there. “The building itself will be a gathering space,” Cumming said. “The caboose would be a semi-private office and one end would be our conference room. And inside, we want to promote what Brighton has to offer at a visitor’s center.” In addition to the Taste of Brighton, Cummings said she’d love to make the occasional visits by the

Blood supplies running low Donations are needed now in all regions BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The American Red Cross has been sending up the red flag, stressing that there is a nationwide blood shortage and Colorado is no different. In fact, along the Front Range, hospitals are managing but are one major tragedy away from danger. Dr. Kyle Annen, director of tansfusion services and patient blood management for Children’s Hospital Colorado, said their blood supplies are not as low as those being reported by the American Red Cross and Vitalant, a national independent, nonprofit blood services provider. “We definitely have lower supplies than normal,” Annen said. “But we are one bad emergency away from getting into some real trouble.” Annen said CHC, which has hospitals along the Front Range and throughout the state, has been lucky to keep a flow of regular donors, but she is getting more concerned as the omicron variant of COVID continues to spread. “It is not today or tomorrow that I worry about,” Annen said. “I worry about our supplies in the next few weeks. As omicron continues to hit us, we are going to start getting in trouble. It really is not just about to-

day, we have to keep blood supplies stable for the future.” Caitlin Ballenger, the American Red Cross regional communications manager for Colorado and Wyoming, said while the national organization does not directly collect blood in the state, they do provide blood to 11 hospitals in Colorado, including Denver Health, Swedish Medical Center and the University of Colorado Hospital. In total, the American Red Cross supplies 40% of the nation’s blood, Ballenger said. Because of the continued shortage, Ballenger said the American Red Cross has had to limit blood product distributions to hospitals. At times, as much as one-quarter of hospital blood needs are not being met, she said. “Seasonal blood shortages are not uncommon in the U.S., however, what makes this situation unique is the many compounding factors (COVID-19, severe winter weather, supply chain and staffing challenges, and holidays) at play,” Ballenger said. “These challenges have resulted in the lowest national blood inventories in more than a decade. What is even more challenging at this time is that the blood supply levels have remained at historically low levels for now nearly four months.” Vitalant, with nine Colorado blood donation centers, is also seeing a continued decrease in blood supplies. The national program also hosts blood drives throughout

the region, including through partnerships with organizations such as the Highlands Ranch Community Association. Brooke Way, communications manager for Vitalant, said there are several contributing factors that have led to the nationwide shortage of blood. In 2020 and 2021, Way said Vitalant was forced to canceled 500 bloods drives due to COVID and, like other industries, staff shortages. “We are not trying to make up for all those lost units we could have collected,” Way said. In Colorado, Vitalant blood supplies matter because they provide units to more than 75 hospitals statewide, including Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. Linda Watson, the hospital’s VP of marketing and public affairs, said they work directly with Vitalant to host quarterly blood drives, including an upcoming event on Feb. 16. Watson said they are getting plenty of participation in the drives, noting that they had a full slate of donors for the Jan. 10 drive they recently held. However, while blood drives do help replenish supplies, Annen said they do not always result in the type of blood hospitals need most. Type O blood is needed the most, she said. In recent weeks, Ballenger said the Red Cross has had less than a one-day supply of type O blood and platelets — critical blood products

for those in need. The general standard, Ballenger explained, is to have a five-day supply of all blood types on hand at all times. “The Red Cross works with hospitals around the-clock to help meet the needs of patients, but blood product distributions to hospitals are currently outpacing the number of blood donations coming in,” Ballenger said. “More donations are needed now, especially platelet and type O, which is the most needed blood group by hospitals.” To donate blood, Annen said residents do not have to wait for a special blood drive. Hospitals and donation centers throughout the Denver metro area can collect blood regularly throughout the year.

Persistence is more than just pushing through

o, we stopped doing what we needed to stop doing. And we started new and better activities and positively rewarding habits with an understanding of how important it is to build and maintain momentum in order to achieve success, exceeding our goals and dreams. And then we hit the wall. What happens when we hit the wall? A dominant and driven attitude would have us think that we can just push through the obstacle, get it out of the way, just break through that wall when we hit it. Speaking from personal experience, I have tried this approach, and far too often I found myself bouncing off the wall and staring up at the ceiling. The variable in this is the wall. What kind of wall are we talking about? Is it a very tall wall that cannot be scaled? Is it a steel reinforced wall, the kind that hospitals build around radiology departments? Is it a cinderblock wall, the kind of wall we see in schools or military bases? Is it a sheetrock wall? And if we want to run through it, we just

have to choose our spot carefully, so we miss running into the beams. Or is it an imaginary wall, a wall we have created in our mind, a self-imposed barrier to success. Persistence is absolutely a key factor when we Michael Norton think about achieving success. Those things we want most are those that usually take time or are achieved over time. Quick wins are great and fuel the fire and passion to continue, but those medium size goals and big dreams take time. And over time we will run into obstacles or at least speed bumps along the way. And staying with it in the face of adversity makes all the difference. Persistence also is more than just pushing through. As noted above, there are walls that we just can’t push or break through, no matter how persistent we are, and regardless of how physically strong we

WINNING WORDS

become. Persistence also means tapping into our emotional and mental strengths. These are extremely helpful to push through and work through those self-imposed walls and barriers. And leaning into and onto our emotional and mental strengths are vital to working our way through those tall, steel, cinderblock walls of life too. A few years ago, I was skiing the trees in Beaver Creek, Colorado. It was a beautiful blue sky day and we had found a great little aspen glade with fresh snow. It wasn’t a very tight patch of trees, there was plenty of room to pick our way through and bounce through the snow. That was the idea until I missed a turn and instead of bouncing through the snow, I found myself hip-checking an aspen tree and bouncing backwards. I found out the hard way that mature aspen trees do not yield to 200-pound skiers. And tall, steel reinforced and cinderblock walls don’t yield to us just because we are persistent. We need strategy, we need a workaround, and we need more than someone

telling us to “Just do it.” Yes, that does work sometimes, and when it does, we are back on our way. When a pep talk or strong words of encouragement aren’t enough to do the trick, we have to stick with it in a different way, looking at how we can be smarter in our persistence. How we can go deeper into our emotional resources to conquer and overcome whatever it is that is in front of, standing between where we are today and where we want to be tomorrow. What’s standing in your way? Is it a problem, a challenge, a very real and reinforced wall? Or is it a limiting belief, imaginary wall, or self-imposed barrier to success? I would love to hear your story of being more than just persistent at mnorton@tramazing.com. When we can use more than just our muscle and strength to push through, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Ad astra - to the stars!

n the summer of 1969, Apollo 11 rocketed American astronauts to the Moon, and on July 20th the world stood still and watched as Neil Armstrong took those first small steps on the surface. Fastforward almost 50 years and NASA astronauts Scott Kelly and Christina Koch each spend nearly a year in space aboard the International Space Station (ISS), a remarkable multinational collaborative project and floating U.S. National Laboratory that has supported continuous human presence in low Earth orbit for the past 20 years. While living onboard the ISS affords an “out-of-this-world” and lifechanging perspective of our home planet that few ever personally experience, it also represents an extreme environment fraught with extraordinary challenges and stresses — traveling at a speed of 17,000 mph, 250 miles above the Earth, unavoidably being exposed to the space radiation environment, experiencing 16 light/ dark cycles every 24 hours, all while isolated from family and friends and floating around in a confined box the size of a football field with a handful of folks you depend on for your survival.

A publication of

(2015-2016) presented unique research opportunities for evaluating human health effects of long-duration spaceflight. Quite fortuitously, the astronaut selected for the One Year Mission, Scott Kelly, had an identical twin Susan Bailey brother, Mark Kelly, also an astronaut and former Navy test pilot. Thus, the Twins Study was conceived — identical twin sons of similar nature and nurture, one spending a year in space, the other firmly grounded on Earth — and the most comprehensive study of the response of the human body to spaceflight ever conducted began. The Twins Study represented many firsts for the space program, including a host of “omicsbased” investigations (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics), the first test of a vaccine in space, and the first assessments of the space microbiome, and of a biological marker of aging — changes in telomere length over time. Telomeres are the protective “caps” at the ends of our chromosomes that

shorten with cell division and thus with age, as well as with a variety of lifestyle factors, stresses, and environmental exposures. In 2020, marking a new era of human space exploration, the first commercial rocket, SpaceX Falcon 9, launched NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley from U.S. soil in the Crew Dragon spacecraft to the ISS, and then returned safely to Earth for reuse. In 2021 we witnessed the first all-civilian mission to orbit (three days), Inspiration4 operated by SpaceX, as well as William Shatner blasting off on a Blue Origin Rocket — the 90-year-old “Captain Kirk” setting a record as the oldest person to fly in space (10 minutes). As the number and diversity of space travelers — and even space tourists — increases in the coming years, a better understanding of how spaceflight affects human health is essential to maintaining individual astronaut performance and health during, and improving disease and aging trajectories following, future exploration missions. It’s an exciting time for “Trekkies” and earthlings alike — to go where none have gone before, and to live long and prosper along the way. NASA and its commercial partners

Holiday soaks in football all-star game appearance BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A myriad things went through RJ Holliday’s mind as he recapped his experiences at the Blue-Grey All-American highschool football game in Dallas, just before Christmas. They ranged from the treatment to potential football contacts to a social aspect to an offer. “Things went great. I had a great time, and it was a once-ina-lifetime experience I will never forget,” Holliday said. The Riverdale Ridge High School two-sport athlete played basketball the Friday before the game, then flew to Dallas. “We had organized practices on Saturday and Sunday afternoons before the big game on Monday,” he said. “We used those practices to do our team installs for offense and defense.” His head coach was Ken Stills, who played safety for the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers. His defensive back position coach was another former NFL player, Nakia Codie, who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. “It was fun absorbing their coaching knowledge on the field and getting to know them personally,” Holliday said. “I had some great teammates, made some new friends that I will stay in touch with through social media.” He wasn’t sure if college scouts attended the game. “I know that all the coaches that were a part of it have a lot of college and pro football con-

nections, though,” Holliday said. “That’s just part of playing and coaching at the higher levels. I was contacted a couple days after the game by Coach (Chris) Jewell from the College of Idaho, with whom I had already been in contact through my RRHS football coaches. He told me they watched my play in the Blue-Grey All American game and liked what they saw, so they offered me.” New techniques Holliday said experiences such as this help athletes improve their game. “You learn from your coaches as well as your teammates,” Holliday said. “There are always new techniques or form or details that help you become a better player at your position if you are open to listening and learning. I am never satisfied with where I am. I know I can always improve and get better at my game. It’s why I work so hard at my craft.” Holliday called it “an experience of a lifetime” but said one lesson from his time in Dallas was paramount. “I think the most important thing I took away from this experience is that moments like these are special and create lifetime memories. Never take them for granted,” he said. “They are all blessings. My journey is just beginning, and I am thankful for all the supportive, encouraging people I have in my life who have helped me along the way, especially my family and the many football coaches I have had. “I appreciate all of you.”

Ex-BHS football player joins Nebraska staff Applewhite is Huskers’ new running back coach BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bryan Applewhite can add a new sticker to his well-traveled luggage. The former Brighton High School and University of Northern Colorado football player is the new running backs coach at the University of Nebraska. “Bryan Applewhite has proven himself as an outstanding running backs coach during his two decades in college football,” said NU coach Scott Frost as published on the website Husker Online. “I know that our running back room will benefit from his knowledge and experience. Bryan is a great addition to our staff, and I am excited for him to join our other new offensive coaches. “I could be more pleased with

Bryan Applewhite

the additions to our coaching staff and look forward to working closely with all of them.” Traditions and cultures Applewhite is Frost’s fifth hire. Before joining the Cornhuskers, Applewhite spent two seasons at Texas Christian University and four seasons at Colorado State University. In 2015, just as he was

joining the Rams’ staff, he told the Brighton Blade there were advantages to working in so many places, both for him and his young family. “My family and I have experienced many different traditions, cultures, and various ways of doing things which, I truly believe, have allowed us to grow as a family,” he said. “We will take all of those experiences with us wherever we go. This is the third time I have joined new staff in my career. It has been the same every time: Hit the ground running; evaluating the returning talent; deciding which areas need to be filled on the team; calling the current players on the team and introducing myself to them.” There’s the homecoming side to the move, too. “Football for me started on the Front Range,” Applewhite said. “A chance to coach in Colorado was a major factor for my wife, Rachelle (Pomona High School class of ‘98) and me to come to CSU, and we are

so very thankful for the opportunity (former) CSU Coach (Mike) Bobo has given us.” In 2015, Applewhite told the Blade he started thinking about coaching when he played football for coach John Conklin at Overland Trail Middle School. That was in seventh grade. “My dream was to become a head football coach. I can still remember how we called plays ... As I grow older and experience more things around the country, that dream remains consistent,” he said. “But my mission has changed. When I was young, it was about winning football games. As I have grown older, my focus has become more on making an impact of the lives of young men. “I have learned to find more reward in helping an 18-year-old boy become a man,” he added. “If I can make a positive impact on their lives, hopefully, they will do the same for someone else. If the cycle continues, society gets better.”

Webster trial due to start this week STAFF REPORT

BRIGHTON – Jeremy Webster, the man accused of murdering 13-year-old Vaughn Bigelow, Jr. during an alleged road-rage 2018 incident, was due to stand trial this week in Adams County Court. Originally, the trial began in July but a judge declared a mistrial because a prosecution witness was not available. It was reset for Oct. 25. But DA spokesman Chris Hopper said defense co-counsel was on family medical leave. The court docket said the trial could last through at least Feb. 4. The June 2018 incident at a Westminster dentist’s office also injured the boy’s mother, Meghan Bigelow, his younger brother Asa Bigelow, 8, and a

severe COVID-19 due to Omicron infection.” Tri-County Health urged getting a COVID-19 vaccine, or a booster for those who have had the initial shots,

bystander John Gale, who was sitting in a truck nearby. Webster is charged with a total of 22 counts, including murder with extreme indifference and assault with extreme indifference. According to police testimony at hearings in October 2018, 41-year-old Meghan Bigelow was driving her three sons to a June 14 dentist appointment in suburban Denver. As they neared the office in Westminster, Bigelow heard emergency sirens behind her and tried to pull into the right lane. She veered back to the left when she saw a black Toyota Corolla already in that lane. She and Webster, the driver of the black Corolla, traded insults shouted through open windows. Police said Bigelow and her middle

son, Cooper, later told detectives that Webster sped up when Bigelow tried to get in front of his car. They said Webster followed and pulled up behind them in the dental office’s lot. Meghan Bigelow told police that she and Webster briefly argued, and as he began to drive away she took a video of his license plate and said she would contact police. At that point, she said, he backed up then got out of the car holding a handgun. As she walked away, Webster shot her in the back, police said. Witnesses said Webster walked away from the area at least once, then returned and began firing again, at one point pressing the muzzle of the gun to 13-year-old Vaughn’s head before firing. Vaughn Bigelow was pronounced

dead at a hospital. An autopsy found he had been shot in the head and the right arm. Asa Bigelow was shot at least three times, including one bullet that entered his left cheek and exited on the right side of his face. Meghan Bigelow was shot multiple times in her abdomen and once on the right side of her head. Police found a handgun in Webster’s trunk and say he admitted to shooting the family. According to an arrest affidavit released in June 2018, Webster also told detectives he had “mental health issues’’ and began taking a new medication that day. The psychiatrist told police Webster had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was prescribed antipsychotics and antidepressant medication.

as soon as possible. “It is increasingly clear that boosters are critical to optimize protection against the Omicron variant, with estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that protection may (now) be no better than 35% after two doses in contrast to 75% after a booster,” Tri-County said in the release. New variants have

affected the effectiveness of the initial vaccine shots. The longer the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the higher the likelihood of new variants emerging. “Most importantly, fully up-to-date vaccines remain the most critical public health measure to protect people from COVID-19, (to) slow transmission, reduce the likelihood of

new variants emerging and prevent serious illness, hospitalizations and death,” the agency continued. As of Jan. 1, over 75% of individuals 12 and older have received initial doses of vaccines in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, although only 40% to 50% of those who are currently eligible for boosters have received them, according to Tri-County.
