JCPH nixes masking requirement for 2-year-olds

filled each week with cars. Cars and Coffee is the brainchild of Taylor, Olde’s Garage co-owner Monty Porter and Kevin McGuire with Transamerica Financial Advisors Inc. Kate Olde Porter, garage co-owner, has said as far as she knows, Olde’s has never hosted a car show in its 100-year history until Cars and Coffee. Jim Beetham of Golden brought his 2002 Aston Martin Lagonda DB7 Vantage Volante to Cars and Coffee on Aug. 28, calling it a fun, comfortable car to drive. He has a modest collection of cars, adding that being
Two weeks after issuing an order requiring students and staff to wear masks in all Jefferson County school and childcare settings to wear masks, JCPH Executive Director Dawn Comstock announced she was amending the order in response to public feedback. The revised order, which was issued on Aug. 30, states that anyone age 3 and over who enters a school is required to wear a mask. Previously, masking had been required in schools and Childcare centers for everyone 2 and over. Comstock said she decided to make that change after JCPH hosted a town hall with more than 60 childcare owners and operators in the county. During the town hall, JCPH received feedback on JCPH’s Public Health Order. Two of the most common challenges with implementing the order were masking among 2-year-olds and maintaining six feet of social distance when children were unmasked during meal times, which the previous order also required. “While JCPH’s original order follows guidance from CDC, the

Olde’s Garage hosts weekly Cars and Coffee BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Olde’s Garage is the place to be for car enthusiasts on Saturday mornings. The weekly summertime Cars and Coffee, in its second year, draws 75 to 100 cars each week whose owners show off their vehicles, talk shop and swap stories. Even more people attend to admire the beautiful vehicles of all ages, shapes and colors.

Everyone is welcome at the loosely organized show. There are no awards, no competition — just car lovers getting out in the beautiful summer weather. Some are weekly regulars, some only stay for a short time, while others driving on Evergreen Parkway see the show and check it out. David Taylor, owner of Evergreen Auto Brokers, calls Cars and Coffee the AA meeting for motorheads. “We come here to commiserate with other car junkies,” he said. From Mustangs to MGs, from Porsches to Pontiac Thunderbirds — the lots of Olde’s Garage and the neighboring Shell gas station are

NEWS BRIEFS Pilot program to clean Wilmot Creek Black bags along Wilmot Creek are there for a reason: They are removing phosphorous before the water enters Evergreen Lake and eventually the Bear Creek Reservoir. The Bear Creek Watershed Association, Evergreen Metro District, City and County of Denver and the Bear Creek Watershed Foundation are working on a six-month pilot project, and if the bags work, algae blooms will be reduced in the lake, according to Dave Lighthart, EMD’s general manager. “If you eliminate one of the essential elements algae needs, you can control the growth,” Lighthart explained, noting that algae can be toxic to fish, pets and people. Controlling algae in the lake is similar to checking watercraft that enter Evergreen Lake to make sure invasive species don’t get in the water and hurt the water system, Lighthart explained. All of these programs help provide good water to Evergreen and cities downstream. The 88 bags contain a sandy material, and when water passes through them, the sandy material grabs ahold and binds the phosphorous, said Russ Clayshulte, a board member of the Bear Creek Watershed Foundation. “After a period of time, we remove the filter bags, and we will have taken out some of the phosphorous
that would have reached Evergreen Lake,” he said. Clayshulte said officials have reached out to the Evergreen Golf Course to see if it will use the phosphorous as fertilizer on test plots. “It looks like this will be a winwin,” he said. Tree-thinning work in Bell Park Denver Mountain Parks is finishing tree thinning in Bell Park with help from a $250,000 Great Outdoors Colorado grant. The Mile High Youth Corps, fire departments and Denver crews have worked to thin about 500 acres along Little Cub Creek and Stanley Park roads. “We know that area is and will be a crucial area for forest health,” said Andy Perri, forestry and natural resources manager for Denver Mountain Parks. “We did a lot of the work with the cooperation of Evergreen Fire/Rescue. The Sheriff’s Office, fire departments and neighbors have been a huge help, too.” DMP has provided some training to other organization regarding forest health through the tree-thinning program, Perri said. The work is all about fire mitigation, the ecosystem and forest health, he said, noting that he is passionate about keeping the area as resilient as possible. - Deb Hurley Brobst

Missing Golden woman found dead on Argos Trail Kap Soon Lee was last seen on Aug. 31 STAFF REPORT
A Golden woman was found dead on the Argos Trail on Sept. 2, about three days after she was reported missing by her family. Kap Soon Lee, 76, was found at around 6:55 p.m. by someone recreating on the trail, which is located west of the old Heritage Square site in Apex Park. Golden Police were notified on Aug. 31 that Lee had left her home at around 1 p.m. that day and had not been seen since that time. Lee lived
in the Eagle Ridge neighborhood off Heritage Road. According to a post made to the city of Golden Facebook page on Sept. 1, Lee was known by her family to frequently walk on the trails around her neighborhood an in Apex Park. Following Lee’s disappearance, police used canines and drones to search for Lee and conducted a full sweep of the Apex trail. According to the Facebook post, Lee took medication for high blood pressure. Golden’s Communications Manager, Emily Gedeon, said the police investigation is active and ongoing but foul play is not currently expected in Lee’s death.

Cranky, they’re not Curmudgeons interested in building friendships, local issues BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Curmudgeons promise that while they are old, they’re not cranky — and they are interested in current events both in Evergreen and further afield. The Evergreen men’s group with 18 members ranging in age from 67 to 93 have been meeting from 9-11 a.m. nearly every Thursday since 1989. Members have come and gone over the years, but one thing is certain: They have maintained friendships and continue to talk about current events. They call themselves community activists disguised as old guys, and the closure of the Seniors Resource Center has awakened the group’s community spirit as it tries to find a new location to meet in person. They also are interested in the ELID, which is the Evergreen Local Improvement District, the Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s plans to rebuild the Evergreen Lake North Trail and Jefferson County’s plan to widen Highway 73 from Buffalo Park Road to Plettner Lane. From 2005 to 2015, members wrote an occasional column in the Canyon Courier called the Candid Curmudgeon. In past years, they have been

heavily involved in a variety of issues. When it was formed, the group envisioned acting as an unelected town council that would monitor various government entities. At a recent meeting, now mostly on Zoom, they talked about recent trips, coaching sports years ago, the American pullout from Af-
ghanistan, whether kids should get participation trophies, the issues a member was having with his deck, subatomic particles called neutrinos, purchasing new appliances and more. The conversation flows easily from one topic to the next. They say the group began with primarily liberals as members, and it has morphed into a conservative

bent. There are two rules: They always meet from 9-11 a.m., and there are no other rules. They try to stay away from talking about politics. There are no dues, no meeting minutes and rarely agendas. “This is one of the few places I know,” said member Jerry Dallman, “where we have a discussion, and all opinions are respected.” The Curmudgeons are an eclectic group, coming from all walks of life: retired engineers, geologists, physicists, real estate investors, trade show promoters and more. They say the group gives them a way to talk about a variety of topics and to form friendships with people they might not have known in Evergreen. Most joined when they were invited by a neighbor or a friend. Thanks to Zoom, some of the members who now live elsewhere can still take part in meetings. Sometimes, guest speakers are invited to make presentations at meetings. Rocky Graziano, 93, who has been a member for 28 years, said he still learns from Curmudgeon members. The name Curmudgeons came from either Boyd Norton or Bill Mounsey, two of the original members, according to the group’s history document. “I’m inspired by these gentlemen,” John Burghardt, the youngest member of the group, said. “They are aging gracefully and with class. I enjoy their company.”

Evergreen mountain biking team starts season on a high note BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Andrew Speers, Evergreen High School mountain biking team head coach, is surprised that people are surprised the school has a mountain biking team. Not just a mountain biking team — but a team 65 members strong.
The team has been a staple at EHS for 11 years, and this is Speers’ first year as the head coach. He believes mountain biking is not as recognized as other sports because meets are far away — this year in Leadville, Snowmass and Eagle with the state competition in Durango. “We are one of the larger teams,” Speers said, noting that Evergreen competes against teams of all sizes including Conifer, with Boulder, Fairview and Durango, which also field large teams. Speers took a huge contingent to

the Leadville meet on Aug. 28-29, with a large portion of the team freshmen. He credits the high school team’s growth to strong feeder programs from Evergreen Middle School and the Evergreen Park & Recreation District. Team members say they are mountain bikers because they like the speed, the adrenaline rush and the power of conquering trails. They agree it’s great to be outside, and they ride nearly every day, whether during team practices or with family and friends. Many have been mountain biking since they were tykes. It’s also great
exercise. “I ride to keep in shape,” said freshman Justin Gregory. Freshman Emma Magnuson, one of several girls on the team, noted that mountain biking keeps her in shape for ski season, and she’s on the ski team. “I like to challenge myself physically,” she said. The EHS squad has been steadily increasing in size since it started. “The team has gone from a handful of riders to what we have SEE BIKING, P7

now,” Speers said. “The beauty of it is that the kids are from all walks of life. We have kids seriously into biking who live and breathe it, and we have kids who like hanging out, getting outside and enjoying the company of others with a whole range in between. It’s a really cool dynamic for sure.” While mountain biking is a solitary sport, being on a team allows teammates to push each other and help each other, he said. The sport takes stamina and fortitude. During a race, a loop is 5 to 6 miles, with varsity girls and boys running the loop three times, and JV, sophomore and freshmen teams running the loop twice. Competitors move up in the standings based on their times and

standings in the races. Practices focus on the basics. Speers likens it to basketball great Michael Jordan who always practiced free throws even though he was among the best. The team works on proper balance, weight distribution, the best way to turn or take an obstacle, nutrition, hydration and more. Speers said the encouraging environment within the league is amazing. Several assistant coaches still volunteer to coach even though their kids have graduated, he said, a testament to the sort of environment the team tries to create. “It’s a super-welcoming atmosphere” (at competitions), he said. “Some of the biggest cheers at (the Leadville) race were for kids who were struggling and coming in at the end. There were long lines of teammates cheering them on and making them feel as good as those on the podium.”

VOICES Mesa mess needs cleaning up
ith Colorado’s welldeserved reputation as a beacon of election integrity, who would have thought the actions of one county clerk could throw us into the middle of the national debate about voting systems? And yet the actions of Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters has done just that. Peters invited an election denier to witness otherwise private election testing in May, which led to election equipment passwords being posted online in August. After the breach was made public, Peters played the victim at an appearance with Mike Lindell, the pillow maker who has been an active participant in the “Big Lie” that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. Peters is clearly an outlier among Colorado Republicans in questioning the integrity of our elections. Republicans hold the majority
of clerks’ offices in Colorado (38 out of 64 counties), and no other clerk has made similar claims. Other Republican elected officials in Mesa County have acknowledged the seriousness of Peters’ actions and are Columnist working to correct them. Peters’ predecessor Sheila Reiner, with assistance from another former clerk, Janice Rich, have been designated by the secretary of state to oversee the county’s elections. Reiner is now Mesa County’s treasurer and Rich is a state representative. Both are Republicans. Additionally, the Mesa County commissioners recently voted to replace the machines that were compromised and continue use of

the elections system through 2029. All three members of the board are Republicans and include long time Congressman Scott McInnis and Janet Rowland, who was the 2006 Republican lieutenant governor nominee. A criminal investigation into Peters’ actions has been opened by Mesa County District Attorney Daniel Rubinstein, another Republican. But as Republican elected officials in Mesa County and Colorado have rallied to defend Colorado’s election system and to fix the problems her actions created, Peters doubled down. She’s suggested that the 2020 elections (that we conducted under her watch) were flawed because Republicans in her county didn’t win by big enough margins. She has left the state and suggested that she has and will be targeted for criminal activities by her opponents. She has used Lindell’s media network to describe herself as a victim whose

A
sk Will Tennyson how to arrive at 20,000 calories and this is what he would tell you: Breakfast: one dozen doughnuts, 2 McDonald McGriddles, 2 hash browns and 2 breakfast burritos. Lunch: one jumbo 18” loaded pizza and a Firehouse Sub (the New York Steamer). Snack: one cookie dough tube (baked), one pint of vanilla Haagen Dazs with chocolate sauce, one Three Musketeers bar and 3 bananas. Dinner: 2 Cheesecake Factory entrees (spaghetti and meatballs and spicy cashew chicken) with white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. A YouTube sensation, Tennyson uses humor and his own video footage to relay salient points about his experience with diets like paleo, vegan or OMAD (one meal a day). In November 2020, he declared his intention to consume 20,000 calories in one day. Tennyson peers into the box of 12 perfectly round, sugary, deep-fried doughnuts and quips, “Cloudy with zero chance of survival.” But when it comes to consuming 20,000 calories in one day, there’s a bigger, badder binger out there: the brown bruins of Katmai National Park in Alaska. These animals wait patiently in and along the fast-flowing Brooks River, simply opening their mouths or pulling their paws through the water. Out pops a 4,500 calorie sockeye salmon. This fatty gift makes for a fatty bear. Location, location, location.
National Park Service rangers have created Fat Bear Week that will start Sept. 29 and conclude on Fat Bear Tuesday, Oct. 5. In addition to voting during this week-long tournament, there will be a series of online Christy Greene chats on explore.org featuring naturalist Mike Fitz. Katmai park rangers learn more about the individual bears and Katmai’s healthy ecosystem. Fat Bear Week creates a “March-Madness style bracket pitting individual bears against each other. The public then votes to see who will advance each round. Voting takes place over several days on explore.org. People may vote using any criteria they see fit. In the end, one bear will reign supreme.” In 2020, nature lovers from around the world cast almost 650,000 votes, and 113 articles and media pieces were written about Fat Bear Week. From around the world, there were 2.5 million bear cam views. A bear simply called 747 (and nearly as big as one) was the 2020 champion, deposing 2019’s champ, a big fellow named Chunk. Will 747 keep his title for 2021? Colorado might not have fat bear contenders, but it is imperative to remember that allowing bears access to food or purposely feeding bears on your property will not only

endanger the bears, your pets and kids, and your neighbors but could earn you a hefty fine. Let wildlife be wild and that means bears need to eat the food nature intended, not at the garbage buffet. This year, the number of bear reports has dropped from last year. Jason Clay, public information officer for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, stated, “As for the natural food sources, those have been good this year thanks to all the moisture we’ve gotten. When bears have plenty of their natural food sources, we see a decrease in bear conflicts. Last year at this time, Area 1 (which includes Evergreen) had 242 bear reports. This year the area has only had 174.” What does this mean for Will Tennyson? Perhaps he should stick to experimenting with protein shakes and military ration diets and leave the EPIC 20,000-calorie contest to the real champions.

illegal disclosure of the election system’s intricacies was really an effort in transparency. Peters’ actions have allowed believers of the big lie to claim that even Colorado’s election results were questionable. Her actions led to a raucous public hearing before the Mesa County commissioners in which some people called for the county to stop using its voting system despite the fact that the only questions about its reliability were those caused by Peters’ actions. Peters has shown that she is unfit to serve as Mesa County’s clerk and recorder. She should, but will not, resign. She should be removed from office, either as a result of the criminal investigations that are now taking place or by a recall by her county’s voters.

Undoing our urbanization trend may undo political pain too
A
s a young boy, I can remember my grandmother rhetorically asking, “What’s the country coming to?” Her constant question was generated by news reports of change that she had trouble accepting. Change is still happening. If my grandmother were still here, she would be amazed at the changes in her country since she first started asking this question. That change began during the industrial revolution during the 19th and 20th centuries. Between 1870 and 1920, a time when she lived, the population of American cities grew from 10 million to 54 million. The growth of our cities has brought both good and bad. Cities experienced electrification and beautification, building of libraries, playgrounds, and swimming pools to attract Americans to a higher standard of living. The growth of cities also brought corrupt politicians, crime, overcrowding and sometimes disease. A housing shortage in the late 40s as our war heroes returned was addressed with the beginning of the move to the suburbs. Millions moved to this new lifestyle and stores and jobs followed. Townhous-
es and apartments followed in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Look at a statistical map of the country, and you’ll find that 72% of the area of our country is rural, but these areas contain only 14% of our population. Columnist We all know that lives in rural America and urban/suburban America are different. Our life experiences are not the same, and our politics tend to follow our life experiences. Life in rural America is slower, more centered on family, religion and traditional values. Suburban/ urban life sees us dealing with long commutes, inflated prices and sometimes government services that are lacking. Of course, there are also many amenities unavailable in rural areas. I’m not judging, just pointing out the differences. Because we live different lives, we have different political beliefs. In 1796, Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton first brought to the attention of voters two different philosophies. Most of us have
JIM ROHRER
adopted one or the other. One wants local rule while the other supports a stronger federal government. There are other differences, of course, but this is the key belief difference of the two philosophies. There are Republicans in cities and suburbs and Democrats in rural areas, but the map correlation is strong. Urban voters vote blue, rural voters are red. Differences make life interesting, but in the ‘90s, Newt Gingrich brought the idea that our differences were fighting words. He introduced the idea that the other party was our enemy and a threat to our way of life. Democrats took up the fight as well, and the result is a polarized nation. Now we see the other side as evil. Again, without taking sides, most of us see this as unhealthy. President Lincoln said, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we lose our freedoms, it will be because we have destroyed ourselves from the inside.” So far, I have only told you things you already know, and the discourse is depressing. I believe a solution is within sight. Here goes ... The pandemic has brought about the popular idea that we don’t have
to trudge into an office or central location to work. Working from home is popular and effective. It doesn’t work for everyone, but it works for millions. With this new trend will come the realization that rural locations are attractive places to live in terms of cost. They also lack congestion, crime and the high taxes found in cities. As Americans move to these smaller more rural places, jobs and the good things cities offer will follow. People may not change parties, but the disdain and disrespect of their new neighbors will wane. Millions of Americans joining a new tribe may be just what America needs. It may take some time, but population homogenization could heal us. “Grandma, that’s what I think is coming to America.” Jim Rohrer of Evergreen is a business consultant and author of the books “Improve Your Bottom Line … Develop MVPs Today” and “Never Lose Your Job … Become a More Valuable Player.” Jim’s belief is that common sense is becoming less common.

Comments generally favorable on Morrison’s paid-parking system Attendees at meeting say some glitches remain BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
About a half dozen business owners and residents at a Morrison Town Board meeting on Aug. 31 said they generally liked the managed parking program, though they believe there are glitches to work out. “I love this town and the (paid) parking idea because people come into town, and they leave the cars here all day,” said Les Gomez, owner of Beso de Arte, “but the way it works, it’s not helping businesses be successful. I don’t want to have to field questions for a parking company. I’m trying to run a restaurant with COVID, limited staff and limited customers.” Gomez explained that customers were coming into the restaurant bewildered by the paid parking program, which started in midJune, and his staff was stopping restaurant duties to answer parking questions. In response, Gareth Lloyd, owner of Interstate Parking Inc., which operates Morrison’s pilot program, said his staff would create informational fliers and place a parking system QR code in the restaurant to help with the issues. The Morrison Town Board decided to institute a paid-parking

program through Interstate Parking in response to businesses’ concerns about the lack of parking in downtown Morrison. Board members wanted to stop people from parking in the downtown area, only to
return hours later without frequenting Morrison businesses. Mayor Sean Forey told the group that the Town Board would decide at its Sept. 21 meeting whether to continue the program on a monthto-month basis and has slated the Dec. 7 meeting to decide whether to continue the program permanently. Interstate Parking, which also operates similar systems in Idaho Springs, Breckenridge, Keystone and more, uses kiosks placed throughout the downtown area and a smartphone app. Lloyd said since the program was implemented in mid-June, there have been 30,000 transactions for the 160 parking spaces — half through the kiosks and half through the app. The average user is spending $2.18 for parking. The trial parking management system runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The first 30 minutes are free, with the next 30 minutes $1. The second hour costs $1.50, third hour $2, fourth hour $3 and subsequent hours $5. A violation is $30 and doubles in 10 days for nonpayment. Paul Thompson, owner of Red Rocks Beer Garden, said he went to Idaho Springs, which instituted a similar program a few years ago. He said Idaho Springs businesses owners told him the first year was rocky, but they saw sales increases and now like the program. Thompson said he’s noticed an increase in sales over the summer, attributing it to the paid-parking
program. “Overall, this is really good for the town,” Thompson said. “Parking has a cost, and we have a finite amount of spaces. We need to maximize parking for customers.” Attendees said they were happy with the parking system, and they believed it made sense to keep it going rather than stopping it for the winter months and starting it again. Some were concerned with people who didn’t have smartphones or credit cards, so they have problems using the kiosks or the app. Their comments contradicted Butch Luedtke, owner of the Morrison Inn, who told the Town Board in July that he was concerned his regular customers — not tourists — would become frustrated with paying for parking and would not frequent his and other businesses. He also was concerned about his employees’ safety as they walk long distances to their cars on dark roads where parking is free. Those at the meeting suggested that the money the town gets from the parking system — which is 40% of the revenue after expenses — should be used for more parking or for promoting the town. “The money won’t go back in the general fund,” Forey said. “This is not a huge revenue generator. The town isn’t doing this for revenue. We’re doing it to help serve the businesses.”

JCPH tried to convince schools to implement stronger mask policy JCPH head said superintendent was acting for political reasons BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A set of emails shows the frank and emotional nature of the discussions that took place between Jeffco’s top school and health officials about whether — and how — to require masks in schools, included efforts by the county health head to implore the school district to implement a mask requirement herself. The emails came to light after an area parent filed an open records request for recent correspondence between the two organizations. In one of the emails, dated July 28, Jefferson County Public Health Executive Director Dr. Dawn Comstock pleads with Jefferson County Public Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland to issue a blanket mask order for its schools, saying the school district is in a better position to do so than the health department. “You have 100% authority over all health and safety rules in your schools and complete control over enforcing them,” Comstock wrote to Dorland. “You have the ability to implement a mask order and to enforce it.” Comstock then told Dorland that she would be willing to have Dorland tell the public she pushed for
Comstock
the mask order. “You also know I will support you 100% — I will even be willing to say I pressured you to make this decision so you can say you took action that you knew would protect students but would also protect the school culture, etc. in order to avoid having the public health authority dictate rules that would not be sensitive to the needs of students and their parents,” she wrote. Concerned about court rulings However, Comstock also explained in the same email that she did not
see it as sensible for JCPH to issue its own public health order regarding masks in schools because such orders are only supposed to be a last resort. She also expressed concern that the “current unpredictable courts” could rule against an order issued by JCPH and damage JCPH’s future authority in the process. “You are choosing not to implement rules for purely political reasons,” Comstock also wrote. “You are bowing to pressure from misinformed parents in a way that clearly puts all of the students in your charge at unnecessary and unacceptable levels of risk.” Comstock then said that if Dorland and the district failed to enact a mask requirement, they would be “undermining their ability to act and enforce all of their current and future safety rules.” In one particularly vivid passage, Comstock suggests that the district’s ability to enforce other health and safetyrelated rules could be at risk. “What happens when parents start sending their children to school with high fevers and whilst vomiting and refuse to come pick them up or to keep them home the next day because “it is my right to do what I think is best for my child’s health? ... What happens if parents begin sending children to school armed because they fear for their safety in this era of school shootings and do so touting the Second Amendment? If enough parents do so and those parents begin challenging your weapons bans in court you will
have to turn to CDE, the State, or me to receive the authority to force compliance” “Heck, what happens if large numbers of students blatantly begin violating your dress codes or honor codes in ways you feel are bullying or otherwise detrimental to student wellness and when you try to suspend them they take you to court?”
Comstock promised a more sweeping order Comstock concludes the email by saying that if she does issue a PHO of her own for schools, it would likely go beyond requiring masks to include other steps that she deems necessary to best protect students, including a vaccination requirement for school staff, a weekly testing requirement for unvaccinated students and a ban on indoor extracurricular activities. “If I am going to take that step that will so damage the future authority of public health. I will do exactly what is truly needed to prioritize, emphasize, and protect F in-person educational activities,” she wrote. A The 309 pages of emails, which a were obtained via a Colorado Open r Records Act request, do not include o any further response from Dorland. t However, in an email sent to Com- w stock earlier that morning, Dorland h said she would “fully support a pub- m lic health order that is put in place a by a public health authority.”

JCPH EMAILS FROM PAGE 12
“I continue to believe a local, state or national public health order is the best option to support our community and other communities with this issue,” Dorland wrote. The July 28 email exchange came two days before the district release new masking guidelines requiring that all students 12-and-under be masked at school but allowing both vaccinated and unvaccinated students over 12 to be unmasked if they so chose. Then, on Aug. 16, Comstock followed through on her promise to issue a public health order requiring masks for everyone 2-and-over in schools and daycare centers regardless of vaccination status (this has since been amended to apply to everyone 3-and-over). The order also requires that all

District, JCPH response Following the public release of the emails, Colorado Community Media reached out to both Dorland and Comstock to ask how they would approach and navigate their relationship going forward, particularly in regards to controlling the spread of COVID-19 in school. “The district will continue to work to balance public health priorities, protocols and orders with ensuring we are meeting the needs of all Jeffco students with as much
uninterrupted in-person learning as possible, and in continued service to our community,” Dorland said. JCPH also provided the following more general statement on behalf of Comstock via email. “The email under discussion was written by JCPH Executive Director Dr. Dawn Comstock to JPS Superintendent Tracy Dorland as part of ongoing conversations about COVID-19 precautions in schools for the 2021-2022 school year and how to safely prioritize and protect in-person learning. This is only part of the extensive conversations that happened between Jefferson County Public Health and Jeffco Public Schools leaders in the midst of rising COVID-19 cases in Jeffco, Colorado and the country due to the highly transmissible Delta variant. Dr. Comstock stands behind the urgency and importance of the message conveyed in the email during this ongoing public health emergency.”
The emails between Comstock and Dorland have also been subject to extensive sharing and commentary on social media, particularly by those opposed to the mask mandate. Republican State Representative Collin Larson, whose district encompasses a large portion of South Jeffco, was among those to express criticism of Comstock following the release of the emails. In a public statement Rep. Larson said he was “deeply troubled” by the correspondence. “The dismissive and threatening tone of her emails combined with the clear disdain for parents and families who disagree with her is totally unacceptable in a public official especially one who is unelected and therefore unaccountable,” Larson said. “I urge the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners to take action to ensure that JCPH leadership is acting appropriately and in the best interest of Jeffco citizens.”
JCPH press release announcing the change. The requirement that six feet of social distancing be maintained during meal and snack times and while playing instruments has also been removed. It has been replaced with language stating that JCPH “strongly recommends” three feet of social distancing during these unmasked activities. “JCPH acknowledges that not all school and childcare settings have sufficient space to ensure that chil-
dren can be spaced at least six feet apart while unmasked during meal or snack times or while playing instruments,” reads the new amended order. “JCPH therefore recognizes the need to balance the implementation of numerous viral mitigation strategies with the practical constraints of school and childcare settings.” In the release announcing the amended order, Comstock thanked Jeffco schools and childcare facilities from taking the steps necessary
to protect students from COVID-19. “We want to be as responsive as possible to your feedback as we understand the need to balance the implementation of numerous viral mitigation strategies with practical challenges and constraints of school and childcare settings,” she said. “We admire the work you do and will continue to work toward our common goal of keeping kids healthy and safe.”
faculty and staff either be vaccinated or face weekly testing. Unvaccinated students participating in extracurricular activities must also face weekly testing under the order. However, the order stops short of mandating testing for all unvaccinated students (unless they are participating in extracurricular activities) and canceling all indoor extracurricular activities, as Comstock had indicated she might.

The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See, 2017
One of the more intriguing aspects of discussing books with friends and acquaintances is seeing what elements of stories make the greatest impressions on different people. Oftentimes, the thing I’ll consider to be the main theme or positive attribute of a book will be something another reader hardly even noticed, and vice versa. This is why the kind of interaction found in book clubs, online groups, and friendly one-on-one debates is so important and meaningful – it provides perspective that helps us to experience literature more fully, and insight into the tastes and feelings of the people around us. I first saw The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane recommended by a friend of a friend as a novel for tea lovers, one that had a lot of information on the history of tea and its cultural influence and significance. I would agree that it is that, incorporating into the story not only these aspects of tea, but also featuring involved descriptions of the more businesslike elements of tea harvesting, production, sales, and performance in global markets. However, that is far from being the only thing this book is about. With its action covering a period of nearly forty years, the book’s protagonists find themselves dealing with a lifetime’s worth of notable circumstances, including the ongoing aftereffects of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the traditions and struggles of China’s isolated tribal populations (deemed “ethnic minorities” by the Chinese government), and the emotional complexities of Chinese adoption, particularly the grief and frustration that is so often faced by both adoptees and birth parents. The author, Lisa See, spent months researching, conducting interviews, and touring China to prepare to write the book, and that commitment shows in the wealth of information featured on these and other subjects brought up in the storytelling.
BEAT THE RUSH!
So what does all this have to do with the price of tea in China? Throughout the interwoven stories, tea is the link that provides the central characters with the means to change their lives, reconnect with their pasts, or remain grounded during these decades of change and upheaval. Still, if I hadn’t been looking out for them based on the recommendation I’d gotten, I don’t know if the passages about tea would have particularly stood out to me among the many other intersecting plotlines. Nor, perhaps, would the parts that did stand out to me make an impression on anyone else who read it. For as long as books are experienced in countless different ways by countless different readers, our individual experiences will continue to be endlessly broadened by sharing and comparing them with others’.

JCPH says COVID-19 numbers trending in wrong direction in Jeffco Data show cases, hospitalizations increasing BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a statement published online on Sept. 1, Jefferson County Public Health listed several pieces of recent data that together suggest the COVID-19 is worsening across Jefferson County, with the majority of impacts now falling on unvaccinated residents. Among the datapoints showing increases are new cases. According to the report, there were 767 new cases of COVID-19 in Jeffco from Aug. 2429. That is a 68.2% increase from the same period last month, when there were 456 new cases from July 23-29. Hospitalizations have also been increasing significantly, the report said. The 14-day rolling average for hospitalizations had doubled from 0.4 per 100,000 people from July 10-23 to 0.8 per 100,000 people from Aug. 10-23. There were 41 Jeffco residents
hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 as of Sept. 1. However, the data indicates the vast majority of both new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are in unvaccinated residents. Of all new cases in the past two months, 83.5% were among people who were unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated. Similarly, 82.9% of the people hospitalized in the past two months were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated. Overall, 71.9% of Jeffco residents age 12 and over are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 while another 5.1% are partially vaccinated. Given the increased transmissibility of the Delta variant, public health experts now estimate that at least 80% vaccination coverage is needed to reach herd immunity, according to the JCPH report. The Delta variant, which spreads more than twice as easily from one person to another, is now responsible for nearly 100% of COVID-19 cases in Colorado. “At this point in the pandemic, reading or hearing data about

SHERIFF’S CALLS Honk if you’re ornery PINE — For years the homeowner has been complaining about all the noise coming from the commercial building next door. For years the commercial building owner has been telling Homeowner that offices simply aren’t all that noisy. On the afternoon of Aug, 2, Homeowner amplified her complaint by parking in front of an insurance office in Building Owner’s building and laying on the horn. When Insurance Agent stepped outside to see what the hubbub was about, Homeowner informed her that she intended to “disrupt” the insurance business in the same way that the insurance business was disrupting the tranquility of her “backyard.” Building Owner summoned JCSO deputies, saying that until his lawyer finishes a “cease and desist” order she’s working on, he’d be grateful if the deputies could put a cork in Homeowner. Contacted by officers, Homeowner admitted that the honking episode might have been “a little extreme,” but explained that the happy chatter of office workers “tak-

up hollering “You’re stupid, (Crewman)!” and demanded satisfaction. Crewman had explained to Chief that violence is never an appropriate way to solve disagreements, but the boss was bent on a beating. “I don’t give a (care)!” Chief allegedly roared. “Let’s just fight!” While deputies doubtless enjoyed Crewman’s poignant story, it in no way matched those of a half-dozen witnesses who all pegged Crewman as the primary puncher. Deputies cited Crewman for third-degree assault.
When slackers attack EVERGREEN — It’s like this, the crew chief told deputies. Arriving
at the work site bright and early on Aug. 3, the crewman had immediately disappeared into the bathroom “for 35 minutes” and emerged from it with “attitude” and “aggression.” Chief was getting the sense that Crewman wasn’t going to be much use for the rest of the day. That impression was fortified a few minutes later when Crewman announced he “won’t be doing any work today” and demanded that somebody drive him home. When Chief responded that the rest of the crew would be busy picking up Crewman’s slack and he’d have to find his own way home, Crewman started “throwing punches,” landing several on Chief’s face before co-workers were able to wrestle Crewman “to the ground.” On the upside for Crewman, he got his ride home. On the downside, Chief was keen to press assault charges against him. In his own defense, Crewman told deputies that he’d recently become “uncomfortable” working for Chief and had asked to be transferred to somebody else’s crew. Upon learning this, Crewman said, Chief had stormed
ricane. According to Rod Tyus, CO TF-1 Program Manager and West Metro Fire Captain, West Metro Fire Rescue is a sponsoring agency for CO TF-1, which is one of 28 FEMA-directed (Federal Emergency Management Agency) teams across the country. Tyus, a veteran of almost 39 years with West Metro, goes back nearly 30 years with CO TF-1. He said volunteers in the group are specialists with a wide range of skills. There are 19 position classifications with
jobs in planning, logistics, rescue, search, communications, medical and hazmat. Since its inception, CO-TF-1 has been deployed outside the state more than 20 times. Aside from hurricanes, tornadoes and floods, the task force has worked on high-profile incidents like the Oklahoma City Bombing and the 2003 Space Shuttle explosion. The most notable deployment for the team was being called upon to do search and rescue at the World Trade Center site after 9/11/2001. CO
TF-1 has also been deployed six times within the state since 1997. Funding for the task force is provided by FEMA. It covers day-today costs like administrative staff salaries, facilities lease and maintenance, training, and equipment purchase and maintenance. It also covers personnel costs, travel costs, and other operational expenses. Deployments typically last 14 days, Tyus said, but may be extended if necessary.
ing their breaks in the parking lot” makes it “really annoying to spend time on my patio.” Deputies suggested to Homeowner that county mediation services might yield better results than a car-horn serenade. Cone zone CONIFER — The toilet paper hanging from her bushes didn’t bother her so much, she told deputies. It was the cones she couldn’t abide. Specifically, the 11 bright orange traffic cones somebody had lined up on the lawn in front of her house and the 12th one they’d perched atop the basketball hoop hung on the side of the garage. She didn’t want to raise a stink, she said. She just wanted somebody to get rid of all those accursed cones. Deputies called the cones’ rightful owner — a paving company in Brighton — and the nice woman on the phone said she would send someone right over to pick them up.
Does anyone else miss Jaclyn Smith? EVERGREEN — Sometime during the night, delinquents unknown made off with the lovely angel statue that had long graced Charlie’s front porch. Charlie didn’t know who might have committed such a sacrilege but told deputies that a mess of young imps had been in the neighborhood that evening, hooting and hollering and raising assorted Cain. If officers can locate the little devils that abducted his angel, said Charlie, he won’t rest until they’re roasting in fiery perdition.

LAKEWOOD — The smiles, laughter and excitement was back at AllStar Park on Thursday morning. Jeffco Public Schools’ Adapted Athletics held its first in-person
event with Cross Country Day on the Gold Crown Field House complex in Lakewood. The COVID-19 pandemic forced all of Jeffco’s Adapted Athletics events to be virtual for the 2020-21 school year. “Everyone is excited,” said Bryan Wickoren, Jeffco Adapted Athletic

Director and Adaptive Physical Education teacher. “They have been waiting to come back. It’s great to be back in-person.” Nine high schools and eight middle schools from across Jeffco competed on Thursday, along with Platte Canyon middle and high schools attending. There were a total of six races with middle school girls and boys races, high school girls and boys races, along with wheelchair and assisted walker events. There were also student/athletics from a few of the area high school who helped run the events. “There is learning on both sides,” Wickoren said of the student/athletics and full teams that come to volunteer to help run each event. “This program is only successful because of them, their support and their teams.” Wickoren added that he has varsity coaches reach out to him before schedules are set up to make sure they can help run events. Columbine’s football team and Green Mountain’s track and field squad are two examples of programs that stepped up to the plate to help the

program grow. Soccer, football, bowling, volleyball, basketball, hockey, softball and track & field are all on the schedule. The plan is to have at least one event every month through the 2021-22 school year. “The goal is to have a full schedule,” Wickoren said. Jeffco’s Adapted Athletics program has grown under Wickoren, which included Katie Thompson (Adaptive Physical Education teacher) being added a few years ago. Wickoren was named the 2019 Adapted P.E. Teacher of the Year by the Central District Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE). While the pandemic prevented in-person events, the excitement is definitely back. “It was really tough because they didn’t get the social interaction,” Wickoren said. “It is a great social environment.” Dennis Pleuss is the Sports Information Director for Jeffco Public Schools.

Miner Street Market’s cornhole league wraps up summer of fun BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
This summer, dozens of people spent their Monday evenings playing cornhole on Miner Street. They loved the sense of camaraderie, the game, the prizes and the
atmosphere that balances a relaxing and casual feel with high-energy competition. “It’s a super-fun group of people,” Floyd Hill’s Janine Schriner said. “It doesn’t matter the skill level; everyone has fun playing.” On Aug. 30, the Rocky Mountain Cornhole league concluded its summer play with one final tournament along the 1600 block of Miner Street. Schriner and her husband, Hunter, used to play at the rec center with Idaho Springs’ Mike Hill, who

organized this summer’s league for the market. So, when the Schriners saw that local cornhole was back, they spent about six Mondays of their summer participating. Hill said the league averaged 14-16 players each Monday, with about 20 at Aug. 30’s season finale. Hill felt the season had been a success overall, as it promoted business at several Miner Street establishments and gave people something fun to do outside on a summer evening. “I would love to bring it back next
year,” he continued. “I think the (business) owners are on board.” Each week, the league rotated around local restaurants with El Azteca hosting the Aug. 30 event. The restaurants offered discounts on drinks and appetizers for the players, who were competing for some serious prize money. With each player paying $10 to enter, Hill said that depending on how many were competing, the firstSEE CORNHOLE, P21

saw people from the Denver area and beyond. Because the league was listed on a cornhole app, several groups saw it and stopped to play while traveling to Wyoming, Iowa, Grand Junction and more. Aaron Hysell traveled from Vail with his friends Daniel Stempien and Chris Gomez to attend the Aug. 30 tournament, with Hysell explaining that Idaho Springs was the closest venue to play in a cornhole tournament. Hysell said he started playing

regularly two months ago after he visited family in Florida. The game is very popular there, and he attended several competitions during his visit. After that, he was hooked. Playing in a league competition like the one on Miner Street is a little different than playing in a friend’s yard, Hysell explained. Rocky Mountain Cornhole has higher-quality bags that have different textures on each side, making one side slide faster on the wooden
board than the other side. Hysell said that he’s been working on different throws, but the key is throwing the bag as flat as possible to maintain the “fast” or “slow” side, depending on what the player wants. Meeting and becoming a part of the local cornhole community has been a blast, he continued, and he said he would come back to play in Idaho Springs if the league returns next summer.

a car collector was an “expensive disease.” Greg Fricke of Evergreen brought his golden retriever, Beau, in his light blue ‘66 Mustang convertible to Cars and Coffee. Beau sat in the backseat, watching the admirers go by. Fricke said he attends Cars and Coffee occasionally, noting that he learns a lot from other car owners about how to fix and improve his car. Taylor believes Evergreen’s Cars and Coffee is the largest weekly event of its kind in the country, saying cars from Montana, Iowa and even Alaska have been part of the show. A core group of supporters attends every week, plus everyone else who shows up makes the event a fun adventure. “We bring a lot of people to Evergreen,” Taylor said. “I think it’s a really good event for us.” He noted that cars are boys’ first love — before they could have girlfriends — which makes them so special for men.

The most sought-after thing when you were 15 was your driver’s license, and by 16, it’s getting your first car. Cars are a symbol of American freedom. They’re a big deal.”
There’s no place like hope. BECOME A CASA VOLUNTEER. Children in foster care who have a CASA volunteer are more likely to succeed in school and adjust to change. And they’re half as likely to re-enter the foster care system later. As a volunteer, you can make all the difference for a child who has experienced abuse or neglect in your community. Get involved, and change a child’s

Carly came in as a stray. She is a pretty calico who is about 10yo. After vetting, it was discovered that she is in the beginning stages of kidney disease, but this can be well managed for quite a long time with supplements and food. Now that she is safe, warm, fed, and inside, she is getting used to her new environment and loves being petted.

Permanent refill station, vintage clothing store open BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Evergreen Sustainability Alliance’s EverGREEN Refill Station in no longer only a pop-up shop. It has landed in the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Bergen Park, offering shampoos, conditioners, laundry soap, dish soap, lotions, tooth powder, bar soaps and more. People can bring their own containers to refill, or some are available at the shop. Heather Langendorfer, ESA Refill Station coordinator, said members of the National Charity League and other volunteers have helped operate the station, which is open from 1-4 p.m. Wednesdays and from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays. In general, everything is priced to be competitive with what you would expect to pay for products in regular stores, Langendorfer said, and proceeds fund other ESA programs. The refill station is intended to be plastic free and environmentally friendly, and she said ESA tries to use local suppliers to reduce the environmental impact further. “You’re doing this for the environment, and we’re trying hard to make it easy for people to do more,” she explained. “We are trying to make it as seamless as
Brooks Barwell, sitting, and Becky Cook in the Evergreen Sustainability Alliance Refill Station at the ReStore in Bergen Park. COURTESY PHOTO
possible.” If people want to drop off containers, then leave to run errands, they can text the shop, and workers will run the refilled bottles to cars.

she was young, knowing that it would be named Sweet Hayden. She opened her shop three weeks ago on Meadow Drive next to Campfire Evergreen, and she says it’s been crazy busy. “I am new to Evergreen. I’ve only been here a year,” Tapper said. “I love the people I’ve gotten to meet because I have opened the store. I find out so much more about Evergreen, and I love the town so much more.” The store has vintage clothing,
consignments and new clothing, though only by small designers and women-owned businesses. “One of the things I pride myself in is I hand-choose everything in my store,” she said. “This is what I love. I am in my element and at my best when I am shopping.” Being from the East Coast, she wanted to bring some of the East Coast to the mountains. “We sat inside so long with COVID-19 that we got comfortable,” she said. “You don’t need an excuse to get up and get dressed. I got tired of being stuck in a rut.” Hayden, by the way, is a family name that she’s always liked. Tapper has been collecting vintage clothes for 15 years, and the collection began taking over their house. In fact, her husband called it her cloth’ffice. When they moved to Evergreen, her children wanted a playroom, so she needed to find new space for her collection. “I was just looking for a showroom, and the opportunity for a store opened up,” she said. She’s planning to add homecoming dresses since she had requests for them last week, and the store’s inventory is always changing. Sweet Hayden is open from 11 a.m. to 4ish p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Check out the store at www.sweethayden.com.
