Navigating the world with a family member with disabilities can be challenging on multiple fronts, and the Denver-based advocacy organization Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition has a program to help with legal services.

CCDC’s social enterprise legal program, Probate Power, was founded in 2015 and assists in special needs planning, conservatorships, guardianships and probate administration.

Services like these can help people with disabilities to navigate administration of an estate while maintaining state benefits.

Chris Brock, the first managing attorney for the program, is providing

Parmalee second graders learn about earthquakeproofing a structure

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If there were an earthquake, what structures would survive the shaking?

That was the question Parmalee Elementary School second graders

attempted to answer on Feb. 3 when they designed structures, created them out of marshmallows and toothpicks, and then shook them to see if they could withstand the movement.

Teacher Katie Offerman explained that the earthquake experiment was part of a unit called “Earth Systems: Processes That Shape the Earth” as part of the Next Generation Science Standards. The idea is to have children discover science rather than be told about science.

The second graders learned about

OBITUARY BECK

Chester (Chet) E. Beck Jr. May 25, 1945 - December 4, 2021

Chester (Chet) E. Beck Jr. of Evergreen, CO, died on December 4, 2021, at the age of 76. Mr. Beck was a Colorado native, born to Chester and Octavia (Hurd) Beck on May 25, 1945, in La Junta, CO. Mr. Beck is survived by a son, Charles Robinson Beck, a sister, Marcella Beck Price (Bill), nephew Mark Price, niece Susan Hagie, and his numerous cousins.

In his retirement, Mr. Beck acquired items, sold them on Ebay and other outlets. Mr. Beck pursued his interest in investments, both in bonds and the stock markets with deep analytic insights. Mr. Beck published several books and was engaged in poetry and other literature.

Mr. Beck continued his love and devotion to Southeast Colorado and particularly Las Animas and Bent County by his involvement in Santa Fe Trail Days and the history of Las Animas and Bent County. Mr. Beck’ many friends will miss his candor, opinions, and most of all his deep and abiding friendship.

Mr. Beck graduated from Las Animas High School, then graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree. Mr. Beck went on to work as a self-described “Junk Dealer”, he owned and operated American Mercantile on Wynkoop in Denver Memorial contributions; Bent County which sold used office furniture, supplies, and Historical Society, 560 Bent Ave, Las Animas, accessories.

ing the container back and forth 12 inches for six seconds would make a good test.

Eventually, they wondered if Jell-O would work, and Offerman had several containers with red Jell-O available for the project.

“My goal is to have them working together to solve problems,” Offerman said as she walked around the room to answer questions. She wants them to learn by discovering what would happen rather than telling them what to do.

The students tried cross bracing their structures with toothpicks to help bolster them, and if they tested one method of shaking their structures, they then tried another to verify their results.

Some structures were much sturdier than others.

“Choose one thing to change to see if your structure will hold up to another type of test,” Offerman told them.

Second graders Hanna Bergen, Lupe Detterrera and Graham Jundt constructed an elaborate structure with a long base and what looked like a church steeple on the top.

Second graders Kyle Troy and Noah Bond shook their structure for six seconds, and they were pleased that the shaking didn’t move it.

“I don’t want to steer too much,” Offerman explained. “If they’re successful with the first test of their structure, then they need to use more abstract thinking to find another variable.”

Nine special districts to conduct elections Self-nomination forms due Feb. 25

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Currently, the special districts are planning in-person polling places on Election Day. Candidates must be 18, registered to vote in Colorado and live in the district.

Because the state is moving specialdistrict elections to odd election years, those elected to these positions will serve three-year terms. While the positions are voluntary, some elected officials receive stipends or are reimbursed for expenses.

an essential service for people with disabilities that can be hard to find.

“We are a legal program run by two attorneys with disabilities, and our whole goal is to help individuals and families with disabilities plan for the future,” Brock said.

He explained solutions are not black and white in many probate situations.

“It’s really hard if you’re trying to provide for someone past your death — that you can’t just give them that money,” he said.

Linnette Chitla, whose family lives in Denver, met Brock at a special needs fair years ago. When her son with disabilities neared the age of 18, she realized she needed to give Probate Power a call.

“When my son turned 18, we went to him, (and) he helped us a lot,” Chitla said. “I do tend to do things by myself, but when I saw all the paperwork, I went to him.

Everything was so smooth.”

Cost of legal services is one barrier that can exile some. Probate Power aims to provide affordable services to families and people with disabilities.

“It wasn’t expensive either; it was doable,” Chitla said.

One of the hardest things for the Chitla family was lack of information and understanding when to pursue services. “[It was difficult] knowing in advance what to do ... debating a lot if we needed it, then I found out that you need to … because they treat your son as an adult and you can’t decide,” she said.

Chitla is referring to the guardianship her family needed to put in place when her son turned 18.

A guardianship must be appointed by the court for parents to be able to continue to make decisions for their child with disabilities after they become a legal adult at 18.

Brock worked with the family throughout the process and assuaged Chitla’s worries.

Understanding legal jargon and best practices can be overwhelming for families and those with disabilities, and as Chitla points out, sometimes that original lack of information can keep you from finding out more.

“You cannot research what you don’t know,” she said.

Brock understands this informa-

tion gap exists, and that’s what he is trying to change with Probate Power.

“It’s not something that a ton of attorneys do,” he said.

Nearly one in four people in the U.S. have a disability, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Disabilities take many forms and can be visible and invisible.

According to the World Health Organization, disability can have three dimensions: impairment, activity limitations and participation restriction. Disabilities can present at birth, be associated with developmental conditions, be related to injuries, be associated with long-term conditions and can be progressive, static or intermittent.

Brock understands the importance of involving the person with disabilities in the legal process, and he makes an effort to interact with them, regardless of their disability.

“I always want to at least meet

the respondent in the case,” he said.

Except for hospital staff informing the Chitla family they would

need to look into a guardianship in the future, information about raising a child with disabilities was difficult to find. Chitla said she wishes there was a central location to find information about disability services.

“When you have a kid with special needs, it’s like a new world … there should be a database with everything there: waivers, what to do when they turn 18, etc.,” Chitla said.

While a service like this has not been established yet, Probate Power is working to expand its services. In 2021, the program served over 75 cases, compared to 50 the previous year. Probate Power plans to expand services and staff going into the new year.

For those pursuing disability legal services, Brock said the best thing to do is to reach out and start the conversation. Probate Power offers free consultations, and more information and contact forms can be found at ccdcprobatepower.com.

Winter Olympics: Elk Run style

Fun facts about the Winter Olympics are displayed in the Elk Run lobby.

Torch relay, games, medals are part of the tribute to the Beijing games

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Elk Run Assisted Living residents don’t want to miss out on the Winter Olympics.

On Feb. 4, several residents participated in a torch relay signifying the start of the games — both internationally and at the Elk Run. With the Olympics theme song play-

ing in the background, they passed around a plastic torch as they sat in the lobby and lit their version of the Olympic cauldron. The cauldron, which is actually a vase, now sits in front of a display highlighting the winter games in Beijing.

Activities Director Ellen Hussey said the torch relay is a small part of the Olympics plans at the facility. Elk Run will have its version of games that residents can participate in such as a ring toss, a bowling game and more, and they will be awarded gold, silver and bronze medals for their efforts.

It’s all in good fun, and the Olympics gives Elk Run residents a

chance to reminisce about Olympics past.

Bettie Lynn Walden, who lit the make-believe cauldron with the plastic torch, said she always wanted to carry the real torch at the Olympics and never thought she’d have a chance in her later years.

Her favorite events are the luge and the bobsled because she likes how fast the athletes move along the course, though she used to enjoy watching skiing and ice-skating events.

Resident Donna Bell, who enjoys speed-skating, had been a professional clown, and she was hired to be a clown at the 2002 Winter Olym-

pics in Salt Lake City, so she has special memories of those games.

Jutta Schumal has watched the Olympics many times, especially enjoying the ice-skating events, while Steve Kurland, who used to play ice hockey, enjoys watching the Olympic hockey games.

Hussey noted that the Winter Olympics are one of many events for residents in February, as they recently celebrated the lunar new year and Groundhog Day, and will celebrate Valentine’s Day and watch the Super Bowl.

LIFE Business partners & life partners

Local couples reflect on joys, challenges of working together

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Evergreen’s Dave and Ali Meyers met teaching biology at Evergreen High School 18 years ago, and have been married for 12 years with two children. The two will be teaching on Valentine’s Day and don’t really celebrate the holiday, but Ali said the two recently went rock climbing for a date night. Along with teaching biology, the two also enjoy sports and outdoor activities, saying that shared interests and values are important for couples. PHOTO BY CORINNE WESTEMAN

“It’s like, `Look at what we created together,’” Justin said. “We see both of ourselves in it. I don’t think the store could run without both of us.”

Amanda and Ryan Cooper, who run Cooper’s on the Creek in Georgetown, said they try not to let work impact their home life and vice versa. But, they acknowledged, the two are ultimately one and the same.

“I think strong partners in life make strong business partners,” Ryan said. “Both kinds disagree, but you get through it because you have come to a consensus.”

Running Tables Amy and Dustin Barrett’s wedding registry included items they wanted for their restaurant, Tables. The two opened the chic American eatery at 2267 Kearney St. in 2005 and were married a few months later.

The two met while working at Denver’s Strings restaurant, where Amy hired Dustin. When they initially opened Tables, the two were in the kitchen together, but Amy moved to more front-of-house duties when they had their daughter.

The Barretts, who live a few blocks away from Tables, said every evening at the restaurant is unique.

There’s an adrenaline rush to the business, Amy explained, as variables evolve throughout the night.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent employment and supply chain crunches have been some of the toughest challenges they’ve ever faced in their working lives. Amy said it’s been even more difficult than when Tables first opened, and it’s required a lot of problem solving, Dustin added.

Still, they’d rather work together than work for anyone else, the Bar-

Quality time is described as one of the five love languages, but couples must figure out how much time is best. For couples who work together, that can be challenging.

Oftentimes, work dominates conversation and decision making at home. Disagreements from home linger at work, or vice versa. The couple coordinates work schedules around children or other responsibilities, while also trying to find time for date nights.

Then again, who better to work alongside than someone who has the same values, goals, interests, motivations and work ethic?

“Sometimes, it’s fun working together,” Dustin Barrett said. “Sometimes, it’s not.”

Dustin and Amy Barrett own and operate Tables, a restaurant in Denver’s Park Hill area, and Amy said she couldn’t have done it during the last two years with anyone else.

“He’s the only person I’d be in business with,” she said.

Ali and Dave Meyers, who both teach at Evergreen High School, said they appreciate having someone who understands stories about work and can offer professional advice.

“I’m very happy with my life, and I’m very happy with my wife,” Dave said.

Justin and Tyler Fukae have been working shoulder to shoulder lately at their Georgetown store, Sabel.

Tyler recently left his full-time job, and since then, he and Justin have been prioritizing Sabel and quality time as a couple.

They’ve found their personalities and backgrounds perfectly complement each other. Justin focuses more on customer interaction and merchandise curation, and Tyler handles the store’s bookkeeping and management.

They understand each other’s decisions, and there’s an existing level of trust between them, Amy said.

While Dustin said he’s seen other couples’ relationships suffer from working together, he and Amy have accepted that their work lives and home lives are intertwined.

Black History Month: remembering Edna and John Mosley

A

s we celebrate Black History Month this February, let me introduce you to two giants in Colorado history, Edna and John Mosley.

Edna Mosley was the first African American to be elected in Aurora when she won a City Council seat in 1991. She had been involved with a variety of community activities and was victorious for an at-large seat as a Black woman. I first met her when I was part of a team chosen to provide Federal lobbying services for Aurora in 1994.

The primary reason Aurora needed a lobbyist was to oppose closer of the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center and then to advocate for its redevelopment when it was clear it would no longer be an Army hospital. As an integral part of the military community and a city councilwoman, Edna was one of the leaders

in our efforts. The first time we went to Washington together, she mentioned that she’d GREG need some time to herself to visit ROMBERG her niece. It wasn’t until we had gotten home that she let it slip that her niece was California Congresswoman Maxine Waters. The fact that her niece was one of the most powerful members Columnist of Congress wasn’t as important as that being in Washington was an opportunity to see her.

And that was Edna Mosley in a nutshell. She was a lady in every sense of the word. She was among the most gracious people I’ve ever known, but in her own quiet way,

also among the toughest. She was smart, driven, strategic and always motivated to make things better for others. She was a founder of the Woman’s Bank and has been inducted into both the Colorado Black Hall of Fame and Aurora Women’s Hall of Fame.

When I first met John, he just told me he was Edna’s husband, but as I got to know him, he (somewhat reluctantly) gave me more insights. He was a Tuskegee Airman and a pilot in World War II who had retired as a Lt. Colonel. He had been a National Merit Scholar. In college at what was then Colorado A&M, he was the first Black football letterman, was on the wrestling team and was later inducted into the CSU Athletics Hall of Fame. I was there when he was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 2009.

Since their deaths, Edna in 2014

and John in 2015, their contributions continue to be remembered.

A P-8 school in Aurora bears their names and is a daily inspiration to children to achieve things and provide service like John and Edna.

An outpatient clinic at Fitzsimons is named for John. When the Stapleton neighborhood in northeast Denver was renamed, one of the final names considered was Mosley.

Colorado is a better place because of Edna and John Mosley and their accomplishments. As we celebrate Black History Month, we should remember them and their service to our state and country.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The danger posed by Full Send Bike Ranch Full Send Bike Ranch (FSBR), in conjunction with Colorado’s State Land Board (CSLB) considers exploiting a loophole in Jefferson County’s Zoning Resolution of 2019 in their application for development. “Location and Extent” (L&E), as defined in the first two paragraphs of Section 8, applies only to public entities.

FSBR is erroneously designated as such merely through listing Colorado’s State Land Board (CSLB) as co-applicant. CSLB, an essentially volunteer board in charge of leasing State-owned lands is likely not authorized to disburse money at any stage of development and is thus co-applicant in name only. Regardless, in Section 32 of the P&Z Resolution, entities such as FSBR appear not to have been granted public status in the past. That is, it takes more than a signature from a volunteer board. Further, nearly all FSBR’s assertions of public benefit have been refuted or are otherwise unsupported by facts.

L&E relaxes requirements regarding mitigation plans and actions which private entities must attend to secure the public good: ·wildfire mitigation and evacuation plans around the 4000 or so ignition sources FSBR hopes to attract weekly ·prevention of surface and ground water contamination and destruction of wildlife and habitat ·prevention of potential, life-threatening burden on Elk Creek Fire Protection District’s EMS. L&E also eliminates public comment regarding these dangers except for a thirty-day window, post application.

For more information regarding the danger posed by FSBR, see especially

Conifer and South Evergreen Community Committee’s website cosecc.org. * See previous letters to the Courier and several Op-Eds in the Denver Post’s YourHub and e-editions. A CORA search will disclose objections raised with Jefferson County, CSLB, and other Colorado State government officials.

G. Scott O’Connell, Conifer

Support for Evergreen’s “gateway” I believe that the community will benefit from the new “gateway” that is being developed around the El Rancho property. The time for Evergreen to be “on the map” is long past due. This will benefit our community by not just building new facilities for Foothills Fire and Alping Rescue at zero cost to the taxpayers but providing us with much needed hotel rooms, retail and other opportunities that will create jobs and tax revenue.

I cannot find a single con. Everything aligns for an overwhelming yes. I encourage the community and the commissioners to approve what North Star Ventures has proposed.

In the case of the new fire station this is needed. Even with the improvements to the Rainbow Hills station this facility lacks the ability and infrastructure to adequately provide protection and rapid response to the I70 corridor, Lookout Mountain and Mount Vernon communities. Having spent nearly 5 years with Foothills Fire I can attest to the growing demands and needs of the fire district.

Let’s build our “Gateway”. There is simply no excuse for NIMBYism.

Nate Marshall, Evergreen

SPORTS Honoring six Evergreen seniors

Cougars basketball gets two W’s

BY JOE DAVIS AND JAMESON DAVIS EVERGREEN HIGH SCHOOL

It was a week of victories and good-byes as the Evergreen Cougars swept both of their basketball games, beating both Standley Lake and Littleton, and honoring their six seniors at Senior Night. The game against Wheat Ridge was snowed out.

The Cougars visited Standley Lake on Jan. 31, looking to exact revenge on an earlier home loss to the Gators. The game didn’t start according to plan for the Cougars, and the team found itself down 15-7 after one quarter of action.

Not to be deterred, the players ratcheted up their defense and shut down the Gator passing lanes to change the complexion of the game, and by the end of the third quarter, the score was tied at 34. In the fourth, it was all Cougars, and they imposed a 15-7 advantage of their own to win the game 49-41.

Senior guard Lucas Fesenmeyer earned Player of the Game honors for sinking five free throws during the waning moments.

The Cougars returned to action for Senior Night on Feb. 4 against Littleton, celebrating six graduat-

Evergreen seniors Lucas Fesenmeyer, Zach Cothran, Jameson Davis, Jake Rutherford, Matthew Shipley and Andrew Sarkisian were honored at Senior Night. COURTESY OF ANNIE COPPOCK

ing seniors. The excited atmosphere made it difficult from the onset for Littleton to get anything going on the offensive end.

Junior guard Luke Killian lit the fire for EHS with two three-pointers in the second quarter and finished with a game-high 15 points on 60% shooting. Riding Killian’s coattails to a 20-14 halftime lead, Coach Hal

Farmwald turned up the heat for his team in the second half.

Junior center Ethan Scheik made his presence felt inside, racking up five offensive rebounds on his own. In the end, the Cougars continued their recent dominance of the glass and despite being outsized, won the rebounding battle 27-19.

With a convincing 50-38 final score

and a season sweep of the Lions, the six seniors, many of whom have been playing together since fourth grade, took part in post-game jubilations, high-fives and picture taking.

The Cougars play at Conifer on Feb. 16 and at Golden on Feb. 18 to end the season.

Conifer boys basketball seeks third win before end of season

BY ARIANA PENSY CONIFER HIGH SCHOOL

The end of the season is approaching fast for the Conifer boys basketball team with just four games left this season. The team currently has a 2-13 record, dropping their last three games after winning 47-38 against Alameda Jan. 24.

The team played Wheat Ridge on Jan. 26 and lost 72-47, followed

by D’Evelyn on Jan. 28 and Green Mountain on Jan. 31. The Lobos lost

those games 81-36 and 80-60, respectively. The game against Standley Lake on Feb. 2 was canceled due to weather.

To win a few more games this season, the Lobos will need to start by giving up less points. In their 13 loses this season, they have averaged 74.5 points given up while in the two games they have won, the Lobos have only given up an average of 42.5 points.

This large discrepancy shows that the key to winning for the Lobos is

giving up less points. However, they still do need to see some improvements on offense.

Three out of the four teams Conifer will play in the final games this season have beaten the Lobos earlier this season; those being Golden, Wheat Ridge and Evergreen.

The team will end the season playing Wheat Ridge on Feb. 14 and Evergreen on Feb. 16. Both games will be at home.

Junior Fletcher Hoban, 12, goes for a layup during Conifer’s game against Alameda Jan. 24.

Sustainable coffee shop near Bergen Park uses different methods

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Editor’s Note: This is the fourth in an ongoing series about coffee shops in the Evergreen/Conifer area.

Bivouac Coffee Co. in Evergreen only roasts naturally processed, environmentally friendly coffee.

Bivouac is located right off Bergen Parkway. The location offers quick access to trails and Bergen Park, and is a popular remote working spot.

The coffee beans at Bivouac are unique from those you might find at other coffee shops. Much of the coffee in the world is “washed coffee,” which uses water to wash away the outsides from the seed.

This process uses a large amount of water and the resulting pollution and water scarcity can be devastating for countries that coffee is often sourced from.

Bivouac harnesses the power of the sun, and instead of washing away the cherry (the outsides) of the seed, the shop simply dries the whole thing, leaving the outsides to fall off once dried. This process saves water, adds flavor and creates less acidity in the finished product.

Scott Wilton is the operations manager and head roaster at Biv-

Customers sip drinks and work remotely at Bivouac.

ouac.

“The sustainability mission is at the core,” he said.

With compostable cups, sustainable packaging, efficient roasting and responsible sourcing, Bivouac aims to be an earth conscious brand. Bivouac is a Public Benefit Corporation, and is a 1% For the Planet company, meaning 2% of its revenue is donated to nonprofit partners.

Wilton said another aspect to consider for a sustainable coffee shop is how accessible it is. He said Bivouac aims to make its naturally processed brand affordable.

Besides being a roastery, Bivouac Coffee Co. is a coffee shop, tasting room and classroom for learning about coffee.

b p s t h m

w The company offers two classes i currently; the coffee tasting exs perience and the better brewing s at home class. Information and h signups for these can be found at t bivouac.coffee.

Barista Justin Cygan has been a working at Bivouac for over a year. f h He enjoys the art of making cappuccinos and likes to drink pourF over black coffee.

Cygan says one draw of the shop a is the staff that work there.

J “Everyone on the staff is an incredibly interesting person,” he s said.

He says the shop being nestled up a in north Evergreen makes Bivouac f o Coffee Co. a great place to work remotely or just to enjoy high qual- s ity coffee. t w a P

scribed how they were initially friends until Dave asked her out.

Now, they’ve been married 12 years and have two children.

And though they work at the same school, the two don’t really work together. He and Ali work with their respective students and have minimal interaction throughout the school day.

Still, the biggest hurdle has been scheduling, they said.

Dave, who teaches honors and AP biology, described how they’ll have parent-teacher conferences at the same time and need to find someone to watch their children. However, having the same work schedule also means they have the same days off.

Ali, a former biology teacher who’s now an intervention specialist, said being in the same profession means she and Dave have the same values. They’ve ultimately helped each other become better teachers.

“My life is here; it doesn’t feel like a job,” she said. “My friends and family are here. My community is here.”

Feeling like home After being busy with work, school and military service, Lakewood’s Justin and Tyler Fukae wanted to start a business together.

The two met almost five years ago in New Orleans. Justin moved frequently for military service, but once he was discharged, the two started Sabel last year.

The store at 507 Taos St. in Georgetown offers sustainable yet practical wares, and the Fukaes are opening a second location on Denver’s South Pearl Street.

Before leaving his job last month, Tyler worked on Sabel in his spare time. Now, they’re enjoying working side by side in Georgetown and wonder how the second location will impact that dynamic.

Tyler said he’s enjoyed seeing a side of Justin he usually doesn’t — in his element at Sabel.

For anyone looking to start a business with their significant other, Justin recommended: “It’s about knowing your talents, about respecting them, and trusting that they’ll do their part.”

12 Canyon Courier Some disassembly transpired CONIFER – Ford drove his Chevy Silverado 2500HD pickup truck home, parked in his accustomed spot in the driveway and went to bed. The next morning he found that the vehicle, while still a very utilitarian machine, was no longer suitable for the safe transportation of loose bowling balls on account of its tailgate being gone. The missing gate was virtually untraceable, Ford acknowledged, and would be ridiculously easy to snatch by simply “detaching the cables and lifting it out.” There are no suspects, and the case – like the Silverado’s ample cargo bed – remains open.

Cutting loose BEAR CREEK CANYON – When Shirley fell on hard times, Laverne invited her to bunk at her place until she got things sorted out. Mostly what Shirley got was on Laverne’s nerves, and for several months there was “tension brewing” between them. As Laverne relaxed in her living room on Jan. 8, Shirley silently

February 10, 2022 entered several times, collecting random items and taking them back to her bedroom. A while later Laverne was surprised to hear Shirley’s car departing the property. Laverne was surprised because the only way outside was through the living room and she never saw Shirley leave.

Investigating, she discovered that Shirley had “cut the screen” out of her bedroom window so as to depart unobserved. Laverne called JCSO, asking deputies how she might begin formal eviction proceedings against Shirley. About that time Shirley called JCSO, saying she’d self-defenstrated to avoid Laverne, who’d been sitting in the living room “watching me threateningly.”

Shirley wanted to know how she might begin the process of obtaining a restraining order against Laverne.

Officers educated the irreconcilable roomies and closed the case.

Out and about EVERGREEN – On the morning of Jan. 10, a panicked Debbie Daycare called 911 to report an absent

anklebiter. Even as deputies rushed to the scene, Nigel Neighbor found the wee escapee wandering in the neighborhood and collected the tot for safekeeping. The roving rugrat was returned ready for a nap.

mediately called JCSO and asked deputies to “have a conversation” with Mr. Ruger concerning “proper handgun safety.” Unable to locate the Rugers, officers instead had a conversation with Rex about proper park pet protocols.

Point taken EVERGREEN – Rex does not feel constrained by county leash laws, which is why his dog, King, was not constrained by a county-required leash on Jan. 15 as the pair took a turn around Elk Meadow. It felt like sweet freedom for both man and beast until they approached the parking lot at the end of their hike and encountered the Ruger family.

At a distance of about 10 feet, Mr. Ruger produced a pistol, which he kept trained on King as the parties passed each other by. The moment he, his wife, and his two small children were clear, Mr. Ruger re-pocketed the piece and proceeded into the park. No words were spoken, nor gestures made, no steely glares exchanged, and yet the encounter left Rex feeling rattled and he im-

Guest appearance EVERGREEN – Discovering a man relaxing comfortably in a room he’d never actually been checked into, the hotelier told him to blow.

The man said he didn’t have to blow because he’d been secretively placed there “by law enforcement” for the purpose of “witness protection.” The hotelier summoned JCSO deputies, who could find nothing to substantiate the man’s claim of sanctuary and told him to blow.

Volt Mobility Guided electric vehicle, bike and scooter tours could be in the future for the Town of Morrison.

On Feb. 1 at the Board of Trustees meeting, Arvada-based company Volt Mobility presented information to the board about its services. The company proposed storage for its devices at Bandimere Speedway, and hopes to offer guided tours in areas such as Red Rocks Park, Dinosaur Ridge and other popular areas in Morrison.

The company polled local businesses in town, and got voiced support from over 10 restaurants and shops. Many said they would be interested in offering coupons to help incentivize the program.

Board members showed interest in the program — several said it could help with the parking situation in town.

Volt Mobility already offers services in other metro areas, including Denver, Arvada, Golden and Lakewood.

Funeral donations stolen from Evergreen restaurant After the passing of an employee, the restaurant faced another loss

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County Sheriff’s office responded to a call at Casa Tequilas restaurant in Evergreen Jan. 30 about a theft.

The restaurant had a donation box on the front counter to raise money for an employee, Jaime Fuentes San-

toyo, who had recently passed away.

The restaurant was raising money for his family to be able to send his body home to Mexico.

On Sunday, a woman dined at the restaurant and asked to use the phone behind the counter. When an employee left to check on an order for the woman, she left the establishment with the donation box and an employee’s keys. It was later discovered she ate a meal at the restaurant without paying as well.

The woman was arrested at the nearby Walmart and has been identified by the Jeffco Sheriff’s Office as

Kristel McKenzie. She was arrested for theft and outstanding warrants.

McKenzie is awaiting her day in court.

The keys and donation box were later recovered, but the hundreds of dollars inside the box were gone.

Staff at Casa Tequilas, already saddened by the loss of their colleague, were shocked by the theft.

“It was very unexpected,” said Trisha Garcia, who was working during the time of the theft. “I believe we had the donation box up front for about a month…we’ve never had a problem with people stealing some-

thing like that.”

Garcia said that since the theft, the restaurant has opened a GoFundMe to raise money for the family, which can be found at tinyurl.com/jy9e6ths.

“We really want to help get him home. Since his passing, they haven’t had funds to get him home,” she said.

Garcia described her late coworker as “a great person who always loved helping others when it counted.”

She remembers countless examples of Fuentes Santoyo’s selflessness.

Should you still wear a mask?

What to know as Colorado mask mandates expire (again)

BY MATT BLOOM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Falling COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Colorado have led many local health departments to abandon their mask mandates for indoor public settings, such as restaurants and retail shops.

The mayors of Denver and Glenwood Springs both announced on Jan. 31 that they will allow their public health orders to expire this week. Leaders of health departments in Larimer, Adams and Arapahoe counties quickly followed suit, though Larimer’s mandate won’t expire until Feb. 12.

“We’re transitioning into a more sustainable management of COVID,” said Michael Hancock, Denver’s mayor. “A more targeted and methodical approach to outbreaks will allow us to focus resources without broad restrictions being forced on all residents and businesses in our city.”

Despite the loosening rules, health experts say widespread use of masks could help dampen future waves of COVID-19 and slow down the evolution of harmful variants.

It’s also still a simple and effective measure that can protect you and your family, since COVID-19 isn’t going away any time soon.

“We should not be rejoicing and burning our masks,” said Dr. May Chu, a clinical professor in the department of epidemiology at the Colorado School of Public Health.

“That psychology is wrong.”

CPR spoke with Dr. Chu about what residents should know as rules around masks loosen in many communities.

Matt Bloom: Many health departments, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are still recommending folks wear masks in crowded indoor settings, even though government mandates are going away. This

As mask-wearing mandates expire – the question remains – should you still wear one? SHUTTERSTOCK

might be a simple question, but is it still important to wear masks?

Dr. Chu: We have found that [masking] helps reduce the amount of transmission of COVID-19 between people. If you’re infected, and you wear a mask, you are reducing the source of the virus. And if you are wearing a mask and not ill, but somebody else you’re talking to is ill, and you both have a mask on, not only is that person reducing the source of contamination, but also you as the uninfected have a better protective barrier before you inhale it.

So wearing masks, keeping a mask handy and practicing other health measures, like getting vaccinated, is still a very important part of the toolbox that we have. When you come to talk about lifting mask mandates, I think people are looking at the economic and the psychological and the social well-being of many others in that decision, because the stress [of mandates] can be enor-

mous.

just be sure.

Bloom: If you’re someone who is still concerned about getting sick, when and where are the best places to wear a mask?

Dr. Chu: So there are some scientific numbers and facts that you should consider about the current situation where you live. If the infection rate or the prevalence of the virus in your community is less than 3 percent, there’s a good chance that 97 percent of the time, you’re not going to meet with somebody that has an infection, right? Just 3 percent of the time. And so it’s pretty safe. You could probably not wear a mask if you are vaccinated, you don’t mind getting infected, you feel like you are going to be in an area where you’re not gonna be able to give it to somebody else that would suffer more than you would.

So those factors need to be considered as part of being a responsible community citizen, if you want to

Bloom: So that transmission rate, if that’s down around 3 percent, you can be a little more comfortable, maybe not wearing a mask to the grocery store, or for example, if it’s not required.

Dr. Chu: Right. And that information is readily available online, on TV. Bloom: If you’re vaccinated, is it still beneficial to you and your family’s health to wear a mask in public?

Dr. Chu: Yes. Because vaccination is not what we call a “sterile immunity,” which means when you’re vaccinated, you can’t get the disease.

You still can get infected [with COVID-19 after being vaccinated]. But the fact is that the infection is usually limited. But you’ve heard those stories where … there is a husband and wife, for example, a husband just has like nothing. And the wife, SEE MASKS, P17

Colorado school board races are big-money affairs A new bill seeks to rein in donors through campaign finance limits

BY ERICA MELTZER, CHALKBEAT AND SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

In the aftermath of hotly contested, big money school board elections around the state, Colorado lawmakers are seeking to cap for the first time how much money donors can give to candidates in those races.

But legislation that passed a House committee on Jan. 31 won’t affect spending by independent committees that play a significant role in some contests.

House Bill 1060 would limit individual donations in school board races to $2,500 and donations by small donor committees to $25,000 per candidate. School board candidates are among the few elected offices in Colorado without limits on campaign contributions, and the caps proposed in the bill are higher than those for many other offices.

“Our electoral system should provide a level playing field so that every candidate has a shot, not just those with wealthy connections,” bill sponsor state Rep. Emily Sirota, a Denver Democrat, told the House State Affairs Committee.

Heated debates over COVID protocols, masking, teaching about race, and parents’ rights fueled unprecedented interest in Colorado school board elections last year. More than $2.8 million flowed into 213 school board campaigns, and independent expenditure committees spent an additional $2.1 million on school board races, according to campaign finance reports.

The measure would have had the biggest impact on individual giving last year.

Of those giving more than

$2,500 to a candidate, 29 people donated more than $622,000 to 34 candidates. That’s more than a fifth of all individual contributions in school board races. Nearly half that cash went to four conservative Douglas County candidates who won their contests.

Lone Tree real estate developer Eric Garrett donated $30,000 each to four Douglas County school board candidates — Mike Peterson, Christy Williams, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar. Mike Slattery, who co-owns The Emporium in Castle Rock with his wife, Andrea, gave $20,000 each to the same candidates, while Andrea Slattery gave $10,000 each.

R. Stanton Dodge, who lives in Castle Pines and is the chief legal counsel for DraftKings, gave $12,500 to each of those four Douglas County candidates.

Stephen Keen, a Fort Collins lawyer, donated $40,000 to Jefferson

County school board candidate Paula Reed and $10,000 each to Mary Parker and Danielle Varda in the same district. The candidates, who also received financial support from the teachers union, won their election.

And in the Cherry Creek School District, Terrance Bates gave $41,400 to candidate Kelly Bates, who won a three-way race against two more conservative challengers.

Small donor committees contributed more than $524,000 to 80 candidates. But in only six instances did those donations exceed $25,000 per candidate. Each of those donations went to four candidates for the Denver Public Schools board and were from two committees representing teachers unions: the Public Education Committee, funded by Colorado Education Association members, and the DCTA Fund, funded by Denver Classroom Teachers Association.

The District Twelve Educators Political Action Committee spent nearly $122,000 on Jackson Dreiling’s unsuccessful campaign in the Adams County school district. The bill would treat political committees like individuals limiting them to $2,500 per candidate.

The law already limits donations from political committees to other types of candidates. For example, they can’t donate more than $2,000 to county commissioners or more than $400 to state Senate candidates.

A series of school board candidates, some successful, some not, told legislators that the need to raise so much money deterred many people from running for office and took control of school board elections away from the community.

They also said it made school board races more politicized.

“There is an idea that if you’re funded by the union you’re left and if you’re funded by something outside the union you’re right, and I was funded by neither,” said Beth Niznik, who said she took pride in winning a three-way race c for Boulder Valley school d a board despite raising the t least money. “That is the c public perception. These p are nonpartisan races.”

The bill is supported by Common Cause and Clean i D Slate Now, groups that advocate for transparency e and campaign finance re- f form, as well as by Colorado s Secretary of State Jena Griswold, the League of Women Voters, Education Reform Advocacy Now and the Colorado Association of School Boards.

Candidates who benefited from large donations in the most recent election didn’t testify.

The bill wouldn’t limit spending by independent expenditure committees, which are protected by the U.S. Supreme Court decision Citizens United.

MASKS you know, gets very ill even though their vax profile is exactly the same.

So there is a chance that somebody else could catch the virus from you and get quite sick even if you’re not.

ever you’re wearing should be fitted to your face. Otherwise, you lose the benefits, because if it leaks, you’re really not getting much more protection. You just look like you’re doing it. If your mask gets soiled, set it aside and just put it aside for about 72 hours, according to the CDC, in a paper bag and then it’s safe to reuse again.

Bloom: If I’m someone who starts wearing a mask less often, what’s the best way to store them for future or less frequent use?

Dr. Chu: I’ve seen people pull it down below their chin. I see now some of these, ingenious things, folks wear it as a clip-on their shirt or on a necklace kind of thing. So you can keep it as long as it’s dry, it’s still good. Something is better than nothing. We’re asking folks now to wear what we call the KN95 or KN94 masks with respirators because the material is better at filtering out virus particles. But the fact is what-

Bloom: Are there any outdoor settings where it’s still recommended to wear masks?

Dr. Chu: You should use your smarts, right? I mean, people need to think about where they are situationally. If you follow NFL football and you follow, especially games played in the cold, you can see players and coaches their breath in the air. And if you look at where the plumes of air coming out, somebody’s mouth during yelling and screaming, and if you have three or four people around you, their warm air breath blends with the other, and

committees may take unlimited donations and spend unlimited amounts, but they can’t give directly to candidates and aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidate campaigns.

Such committees don’t participate in most school board races, but in Denver Public Schools, independent expenditure committees accounted for about 67% of the $1.8 million spent last fall. Groups more support-

ive of education reform outspent groups affiliated with the teachers union, but failed to persuade voters.

That $1.2 million in independent spending on Denver contests accounted for nearly 57% of the $2.1 million total in such spending on school board races last year.

Nor would the bill limit how much candidates could spend on their own campaigns. Denver school board member Scott Baldermann spent more than $300,000 of his own money to get elected in 2019.

“I think the bill is going to have the opposite effect with more dark money (coming into elections),”

as the wind comes, swirls around them and comes back to them. You can imagine those could be the conditions in a lot of places. If you don’t wanna breathe somebody else’s air a mask might be a good idea.

Bloom: Do you plan to keep masking while you’re out and about in public?

Dr. Chu: Yes, I do. And it’s because we have a vulnerable, immunosuppressed person in our home whom we love very much and we don’t wanna bring any infection home.

And so I will mask and protect myself to protect my beloved family member to not get COVID-19 from me because I don’t think I can live with that guilt.

Bloom: I think a lot of people can probably relate to that. Either they have a young kid who isn’t able to get vaccinated or an elderly family member they see a lot.

Dr. Chu: It’s interesting. Authorities used mask mandates as a way said state Rep. Patrick Neville, a Castle Rock Republican who voted no. “I think we should be free to donate directly to the candidate and the candidate is responsible for the literature that is put out, rather than an independent expenditure committee.”

Democrats on the committee said they shared those concerns, but didn’t see that as a reason to have no limits on individual contributions. The bill passed 6 to 4 with Democrats in favor and Republicans against. It still needs to pass the full House and Senate before going to the governor’s desk.

of saying, you know, by July 4th, you can picnic with your family without a mask. So they sort of gave people a timeline when you can let loose, because there’s still a very negative connotation of masking. Because then you think, ‘I’m being punished until July the fourth,’ right? But it shouldn’t be about being let out of jail, if you will. The virus is not done with us. In Asia, wearing a mask has been used by everybody in many countries and cultures since before [COVID-19]. They just accept it and there’s certain times they don’t wear a mask because they know they don’t have to. And I would suggest at some point we might head that way as well.

Sirota acknowledged the bill won’t take money out of politics, but she said the change still feels valuable.

“Anyone who follows these school board races, it’s hard to imagine it getting any nastier,” Sirota said.

“We aren’t going to fix a broken system, but this is one step we can take.”
