Bryce was gifted in mind and body and excelled at nearly everything he did. Bryce enjoyed skiing/boarding, motocross, biking, roller-blading, hockey, golf, billiards, welding and construction work and wrenching on cars. It was incredible to watch Bryce move from beginner to expert with seemingly little e ort in just about anything he put his mind Bryce’s greatest quality was his love and passion for people. Bryce was frequently known to drive hours to help a friend, make a U-turn on the highway to help a stranger, and to aid those in need through his work. He had in nite patience for listening and was quick to o er his young wisdom, spiritual beliefs, witty jokes and humongous smile to anyone. If you met Bryce, he was your friend. Bryce brought joy to everyone around him and lled his world with love. It has been nearly a year since Bryce’s passing. He is in our thoughts daily and is missed dearly by his family, and friends....and though they may not know it, even strangers.

Robyn Frye of Evergreen held a sign encouraging her grandson Josh Mack, 7, as he moved through the course. Josh’s mom, Jackie, said the family had not seen an event similar to the kids triathlon in Lakewood where they live, so they signed up for the Evergreen event along with two“Thisneighbors.issofun,” she said. “It’s so cool.”
The Evergreen Kids Triathlon is a fun activity and confidence builder wrapped into one. Times aren’t recorded as about 70 children ages 5-10 swam in the Buchanan Park pool, rode their bikes and ran in the annual Kids Triathlon organized by the Evergreen Park & Recreation District. In addition, it’s a fundraiser for EPRD’s INSPIRE special needs program. For some, it was their first experience in the sport. Younger participants swim, bike and run shorter distances than older participants. The triathlon gives kids a chance to be outside, be active and do something healthy, according to Maren Schreiber, who has coordinated the event for years along with a ton of volunteers.RobWright, a parent who also teaches physical education at The Bergens, agrees. “This is motivating for my son and for my students, too,” he said. “It’s cool that (son Radley, 10) has done something I haven’t done. He’s so excited about the triathlon. It’s a big self-confidence boost.” Wright high-fived some of his students, congratulating them on theRadley’sfeat. mom, Michele, helped Radley prepare for each event, while grandparents Lois and Dale LaGrange called encouragingly as Radley moved through the three events.Kerry Nekuda, who watched Brooklyn, 5, swim, said she brought the family to the Kids Triathlon from Castle Rock because she thought it would be a fun day of activities.“Thereare only a handful of these kinds of events around for kids,” she said, noting that the family also hikes and runs. A parking area at the Buchanan rec center was the staging area, where children changed shoes, grabbed bikes and got some water as they moved between activities. Some parents joined their children in the run portion. For Chris and Georgina Lewis, whose sons Rafe and Sanders competed in the triathlon, the three activities typify activities prevalent in“It’sEvergreen.goodfor kids to see different sports,” Chris Lewis noted.

Evergreen Pickleball Club installs new AED
The Evergreen Pickleball Club and EPRD unveiled the new AED on Aug. 11 at Marshdale Park.
The Evergreen Pickleball Club presented a $1,000 check to Evergreen Park & Recreation District Aug. 11 for a new AED at the pickleball courts at Marshdale Park. This fast-growing sport defies its stereotypes of being “just for old people.” The Evergreen Pickleball Club has installed courts at Evergreen Middle School, and EPRD offers lessons for all ages. Sarah German is an instructor and ambassador for the club. “We continue to grow,” she said. “This is the biggest growth I’ve seen.”German teaches beginners through EPRD, and her classes always have a waitlist. There are talks about coordinating an EPRD afterschool program for kids after so much success with summer camps. Linda Jacobsen is the USA Pickleball ambassador for Evergreen, CO. She said the Evergreen Pickleball Club is a very busy group, and she sees the sport growing among all ages. Jacobsen teaches kids how to play the sport, and often gets a hard question from the kids: “Why are you all so old?” The sport is friendly to bodies of all ages and skill levels, making it a fun choice for young and old alike. rector of EPRD, was at the courts to accept the check for the AED from the“Thisclub.really means a lot,” Vander Veen said. “This is an amazing tool –having it in close proximity is really special.”Evergreen Pickleball Club raised $1000 for the AED through its club members, and Evergreen Fire/Rescue donated the remaining $900 for the device. EPRD installed the AED at the EMScourts.ChiefDave Montesi said that AEDs installed in Evergreen have been used to save the lives of five people since their installation.

EFR treasurer Julie Ann Courim said she contacted this year’s donors, and it was clear the donors wanted the money to go to the volunteers.“Alot of people don’t understand there are two organizations,” Courim said. “(With EVFD as) the central point for donations, we feel that is the right direction.”
Evergreen Fire donations to go to volunteers The Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department will now get all money donations that the fire district receives.Whilethis may sound like a nobrainer, what most people don’t realize is Evergreen’s fire department has two organizations: The Evergreen Fire Protection District known as Evergreen Fire/Rescue and the Evergreen Volunteer Fire Department.EFRisthegoverning body for the district, collecting property taxes and making decisions for the district with a $9 million budget. EVFD is the volunteer firefighters’ organization, a nonprofit that operates on donations — usually around $30,000 a year — with the money used to purchase extras for the volunteers. In lean years when EFR did not collect as much in property taxes, EVFD stepped in to buy firefighting equipment, according to EVFD officials.Inthelast few years, the volunteers received fewer donation dollars, and after conversations between the EFR and EVFD treasurers, the EFR board unanimously voted to give the volunteers the $28,272.84 the fire district has received in donations since the beginning of the year. Further, all donations will be given to the volunteer organization, and the treasurers will keep in contact in case any donations should go to EFR. “The perception has been that if the check doesn’t say to EVFD, the money doesn’t go to volunteers,” EVFD Treasurer Bryne McKenna said. “The difference is impossible for the public to understand.”
EFR honored for work with heart-attack victims Evergreen Fire/Rescue has received the Silver Plus award from the American Heart Association’s 2022 Mission: Lifeline program. “This shows the work by amazing paramedics and St. Anthony Hospital as well,” EFR EMS coordinator Dave Montesi told the fire board on Aug. 9. He noted the award takes into account both the work done by the fire department and the hospital when they respond to a call for someone having a heart attack. It takes the work of the firefighters first on scene who do the initial assessment and pass the information to the EMS crew, the expeditious treatment and care at the home, and then the care given at the hospital, Montesi said. Last year, EFR received the bronze award, and Montesi hopes the district gets the gold award next year. According to the certificate: “The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association recognizes this EMS provider organization for demonstrating continued success in using the Mission Lifeline program. Thank you for applying the most up-to-date evidence-based treatment guidelines to improve patient care and outcomes in the community you serve.” Community Safety Day postponed Evergreen Fire/Rescue’s Community Safety Day, which is usually held in the fall, will be postponed untilFirespring.ChiefMike Weege told the fire board on Aug. 9 that the department had a tough time finding a Saturday when neighboring parking lots weren’t being used for other events.Weege said the event, which has kids’ activities, firefighting demonstrations, a pancake breakfast and more, will be revamped.

It was only natural, then, that when Sissy found herself in a bind and between addresses, she looked to Missy for a sympathetic shoulder and a couch to crash on. Missy’s sense of responsibility to her one-time shelter-mate was genuine, but time-limited; Sissy could stay with her five nights only before making more permanent arrangements. As it happened, five nights was optimistic, at best. Three nights later, the two ladies were sitting around the coffee table reminiscing about old times and knocking back a few bottles of blush Chablis when Sissy abruptly leapt from her seat and came down on Missy like a Tunguska asteroid, blasting her into a bi-fold door hard enough to knock it from its tracks. When Missy fled upstairs to her bedroom, Sissy hunted her down and threw her to the floor. Sissy eventually relaxed enough for Missy to summon deputies, who found Sissy waiting outside in the driveway and Missy sitting inside looking dazed and confused. Missy told officers she had no idea why Sissy had gone off that way, and Sissy couldn’t seem to grasp what all the fuss was about. Missy told deputies she didn’t want to press charges against Sissy, but did want her out of the house. When deputies told Sissy they were taking her to detox, she declared herself unjustly arrested and “went limp.” While wrestling Sissy’s determinedly inert carcass into the back seat of a squad car, officers assured her that she wasn’t properly under arrest, but soon would be unless she cooled her jets. Alas, Sissy’s jets remained hot, and she spent the rest of the night in the cooler.
Braking bad EVERGREEN – On the morning of July 19, the power pole crew was busy keeping Fern Gulch connected. Driving up Fern Gulch on the morning of July 19, the dump truck driver encountered the crew and instantly dropped a load. The Crew told Dump Truck the road was temporarily closed. Dump Truck was “extremely mad” about the closure, repeatedly “revving his engine” and “lurching forward” and “threatening to drive through” the work zone. The Crew told Dump Truck they’d be finished in “10 to 15 minutes.” Dump Truck told the Crew where they could plant their power pole and lurched his vehicle to within “6 inches” of the nearest crewman. The Crew called the cops, who asked Dump Truck to explain himself, who told deputies his big ol’ truck might have crept forward a tad when he “let off the brakes to apply the parking brake.” Officers weren’t buying it, but since the Crew was more interested in putting up the pole than punishing Dump Truck, officers let him go with a warning.

For better or worse EVERGREEN – The bride was radiant, the groom dashing, the venue sublime. The wedding reception at the Evergreen Lake House on the night of July 22, however, was anything but magical. Almost immediately, staff began noticing empty “shooter” containers littering the premises, which would explain why the capacity crowd was getting “very rowdy” and “out of control.” Sometime after 9 p.m., increasingly alarmed bartenders closed the well to several of the more brightly lit guests, who responded by “changing their clothes” and sidling back up to the bar. The bartenders weren’t fooled, the guests weren’t happy, and the crowd grew restive. By the time JCSO deputies were summoned, the bartenders had quit serving alcohol altogether, there had been numerous high-octane verbal assaults on the staff and, according to one aggravated employee, the DJ’s wife “stuck her finger in my ear.” Having badges around lowered the emotional temperature in the room considerably, and Lake House staff asked that officers hang chilly until the party officially ended at 11 p.m. Deputies vowed to stay and keep the peace.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this was the end of Tina Peters trying to undermine confidence in elections? After breaking election laws as Mesa County Clerk, making false statements about the legitimacy of the 2020 election, running for Secretary of State and losing the GOP primary by more than 88,000 votes and violating two court orders related to bond conditions, she requested (and paid over a quarter million dollars) for a recount that had no chance of improving her position.And through it all, she worked to undermine voter confidence in an electoral system that has been continually proven to conduct fair and transparent elections in Colorado. This most recent stunt is particularly egregious as she had to know the recount would not change anything and that would lead to nothing but more unsubstantiated claims that we shouldn’t have confidence in elections. The recount left the margin between former Jeffco Clerk Pam Anderson, the Republican nominee, and Peters of 88,579 votes. The only difference discovered by the recount was 37 uncounted votes from Elbert County in which both Anderson and Peters received an equal number of votes. While the election conspiracy crowd likes to suggest that machine counting of ballots has resulted in elections that are easily manipulated and subject to mistakes, the facts prove otherwise. As American elections have transitioned to tabulating votes mechanically, both the academic research and the work of election officials of all political philosophies have proven that current processes of tallying votes with machines is as close to flawless as can be reasonably expected. Along those lines, when recounts are conducted, it is very rare that results change by more than very few votes. Comparing recent recounts with recounts from the era of when votes were counted by hand shows there was a much greater likelihood of significant changes when votes were counted by hand. It’s been proven that it is much more likely that errors occur when people do the counts and can be distracted or make mistakes as they became tired completing their tasks. Against this backdrop, it may be time for the legislature to look at laws concerning recounts. Under current law, there is an automatic recount if the margin of victory is less than or equal to 0.5% of the margin between the top two candidates. In those cases, the cost of the recount is covered by taxpayers. If the margin is larger than 0.5%, a losing candidate may request a recount, but must pay for it. As recent recounts have proven that there is little chance a recount will change the initial results, the combination of the small likelihood of success and the cost to pay for a recount resulted in fewer candidate funded recounts.Peters’recount effort had no chance to change the results of her primary loss and did nothing but continue a circus act that had no purpose but to try to undermine voter confidence. Automatic recounts for very close elections make sense, but the legislature should consider limiting candidate funded recounts to a margin of victory of 3 or 5%. Greg Romberg had a long career in state and local government and in government relations. He represented corporate, government and trade association clients before federal, state and local governments. He lives in Evergreen with his wife, Laurie.

Columnist LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support for Foothills Fire and Alpine Rescue I believe we as a community need to thank those who provide first responder services to our community. This includes our neighboring volunteers. Foothills Fire for example has responsibility for I-70 from Evergreen Parkway to the Morrison Exit as well as Highway 74 from just past Kittredge to Morrison. Alpine of course responds to Jefferson, Park and Clear Creek counties. The new facilities will be built at zero cost to the tax payers. In fact this will allow Foothills to also build a replacement station on Lookout Mountain. They cannot build two stations. Their facilities are aging and do not meet the requirements for hot vs cold areas for firefighters as well as offer incentives like day rooms, overnight quarters and fitness to recruit new volunteers.Iamnotsure why people oppose Evergreen, Foothills and Alpine. Why would anyone be upset with the fire departments getting state of the art facilities?Evergreen needs this development. We need a gateway. We need more retail, housing and the hotel being proposed. Evergreen has the ability and need for 2,500-3,000 more homes and the associated commercial development. Let’s support this. Nate Marshall, Evergreen Thank you, Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity I would like to give a big shout out for a wonderful local organization. Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity, out of Evergreen, Colorado, has such dedicated empathetic volunteers. After searching over a year for a fence company, we met David Milanaik. Habitat also builds houses, but did you know they help folks do repairs on their homes? I am thankful for David and the volunteers who helped us finally get a nice new fence in our back yard.

In fact, nearly one in five parents skipped preventive care visits for their children due toBeforeCOVID-19.schedules become packed with classes, homework and extracurricular activities, review this back-to-school health checklist with actions to take to help give children a better chance to succeed inside and outside the classroom: Get a Comprehensive Eye Exam. Proper vision is crucial for success at school, both in the classroom and when playing sports. While school-based vision screenings are valuable, these exams can miss certain conditions. That’s why the American Optometric Association recommends children get their first comprehensive eye exam by age 1 and another prior to starting kindergarten. If no vision issues are detected, then it is recommended children have an exam at least once every two years. Even after receiving a comprehensive eye exam, it is important to monitor for digital eye strain. This condition can be caused by the overuse of digital devices, such as computers or smartphones. Some tips to help avoid digital eye strain include keeping computer screens at least 30 inches away; taking breaks every 20 minutes; and investing in screen protectors or computer monitors that help limit exposure to blue light. Get a Dental Cleaning. Proper dental health can help your kids stay confident and smiling, and also benefit their overall well-being. While tooth decay is largely preventable, it unfortunately ranks as the most common chronic disease among children. In fact, by age 5, nearly 50% of children have at least one cavity. To help prevent that, consider scheduling a dental exam at the start of the school year and every six months after that.In addition to routine cleanings, maintaining proper oral health at home is important yearround. That includes brushing your teeth (and tongue) for up to two minutes twice daily; rinsing for 30 seconds with a mouthwash; flossing daily starting at around age 3; and limiting sugary snacks and drinks.

Get a Hearing Test. Most schools provide hearing screenings, often every other year beginning in kindergarten or first grade. If a hearing issue is identified, a referral for a comprehensive audiologic evaluation is generally the next step. Early intervention is key to help identify the most appropriate treatment as quickly as possible, which is important given hearing losscan affect a child’s ability to develop speech, language and social skills. At home, parents should help children adopt safe listening strategies and avoid excessive exposure to loud sounds, which can contribute to hearing loss over time. Strategies to consider include using ear protection (earplugs or earmuffs) when attending sporting events or music concerts; following the 60-60 rule, which means limiting the use of earbuds or headphones to no more than 60 minutes at a time and at no more than 60% of the player’s maximum volume; and investing in noise-canceling earbuds or headphones.

Rather than getting too far ahead and focusing on repeating a playoff appearance, Moore said the Orediggers should concentrate on the next game.“That’s where we’re always going to stay focused, on the current opponent,” he said after practice on Aug. 11. “We’ve got to be where our feet are and stay in the moment.”
On Aug. 7, the Orediggers kicked off practices for the football preseason. Moore, who’s been a CSM defensive coach since 2016, is taking the reins as head coach this season. In 2021, CSM went 12-2 for the season, won the conference title and advanced to the NCAA semifinals. With 18 starters returning for 2022, the Orediggers have been listed as a top-10 team in nationwide preseason polls. On Aug. 15, they were ranked No. 1 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason coaches’ poll.While all those feats are respectable, Moore also emphasized how “past successes mean nothing in the future.”
In football, as in life, nothing is guaranteed except the work. That’s what Colorado School of Mines head football coach Brandon Moore expressed when reflecting on last year’s successes going into the 2022 season.
Right now, the next game also is the first: Sept. 1 at Grand Valley State, a fellow top-10 team. After the season opener, the Orediggers won’t have long to catch their breath, as their first home game on Sept. 10 is against fellow top-10 team Angelo State. Senior linebacker Nolan Reeve, who was recently highlighted by College Football America Yearbook, also emphasized taking the schedule one week at a time and “not taking those in-between games for granted.”Hecontinued: “We all know one of the big games is the national championship, but the most important game to us right now is Week 1.”

Reeve felt likewise, saying the talent on both sides of the field is incredible. Not only that, but the seniors know what standards they must meet to repeat last year’s successes and more. For the defense specifically, Reeve said the Orediggers have strength up front, speed in the back and leaders in the middle. “When we get into a front-heavy offense, we know what it takes (to win),” he said. “We’re ready for that Week 1 and going throughout the season.”Aftera few days of practice, Moore said he was impressed by the offensive and defensive lines’ physicality. He felt like they’re the first components coaches look at when assessing a team — whether the offensive line is protecting the quarterback effectively, and whether the defensive line is attacking weaknesses in the offense. Overall, though, he emphasized to the Orediggers at practice Aug. 11 that every position needs to keep improving. The players should target not only their weaknesses but their strengths as well, Moore commented.Forthe CSM football program in general its strength has always been its players, Moore said. He believed the program is unique throughout the world because of the type of player it recruits.

Coach Brandon Moore addresses the Orediggers as football practice concludes Aug. 11 at Colorado School of Mines.
While most are fifth-year or redshirt seniors like Reeve, there are five sixth-year seniors who received an extra year of eligibility amid COVID-19. There are only two fourth-year or “true seniors” on the team, and both have another year of eligibility left. Having so many and such highquality player leaders will be incredibly advantageous for CSM, Moore described. Because most of them are starters, he said of putting together a successful 2022 team: “We won’t be starting from zero; we’ll be starting from at least halfway.”

T hey’re going back to school, too — but this time, they’ll be on the other side of the desk. First-year teachers and their colleagues across the Denver metro area are kicking off the 2022-23 school year this month. For the past two and a half years, teachers have been on the front lines as classrooms went virtual and returned with masks. They have fought for more recognition and better pay.Some fi rst-year teachers have experienced some of these challenges as substitutes or student teachers, but it hasn’t deterred them from pursuing the“Youprofession.hearall these negative things that people on the outside say about teaching, but being on the inside … seeing all the students grow and making those connections is worth it,” said Laura Hirn of Jefferson County’s Fairmount Elementary.Whilethe“hows” differ for each fi rst-year teacher, the “whys” are virtually the same: “I want to be the teacher I never had,” said Jennah Lacy of Prairie View High School in Adams County. Hirn felt similarly, remarking how “everyone remembers a teacher who made a positive impact” on their lives. She said she wanted to be that teacher forPeterothers.Ferrante, of Overland Trail Middle School in Adams County, described how he pursued other careers before becoming a teacher. In these other jobs, he always “really enjoyed helping others fi nd what they’re passionate about.” So, Ferrante became a teacher to do exactly that, but full-time.Likewise, Chelsea Vandurme of Carlson Elementary School in Idaho Springs worked in the mortgage industry, as a coach, and —most recently — as a stay-at-home mom. She also served as a substitute for the nearby elementary schools before getting her certifi cate to teach preschool this May. “I love working with kids,” she said. “I love … being a part of the community and being the foundation of the school.” Learning the basics Being a coach is all about building on a student’s preexisting skillset, but being a preschool teacher is all about
Chelsea Vandurme is a first-year preschool teacher at Carlson Elementary in Idaho Springs. Vandurme served as a substitute teacher and coach at Carlson Elementary and around Clear Creek County, which she said proved good experience for gettting to know the students, the school and the community.
As for why he opted for middle school, Ferrante said it’s a special time when teachers can bolster students’ confidence and skills before they go to high“Middleschool.school is a special time,” he said. “There’s so much positive change you can Coincidentally,have.”Lacy felt the same way about high school. She felt like the age group was a fun one to teach, saying she wanted to prepare them for life after highLacyschool.teaches integrated mathematics at Prairie View High School, which is near Commerce City. Like Ferrante, she understood not every student will enjoy math. But, she wanted to instill problem-solving skills and a passion for learning, so her students always remember the lessons behind the math. Lacy, who’s from Parker but now lives in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, went through the CU Teach program through the University of Colorado-Boulder. She majored in math with a minor in education.Whiletraveling in Florida, she did a Zoom interview with Prairie View. Even through the computer screen, Lacy felt welcomed and that the school was “a great community to be a part of.” As a first-year teacher, Lacy recognized there will be challenges to navigate this year and beyond. But, in those times, she plans to reflect on why she’s there. “We’re preparing the next generation … (and) it takes a certain kind of person to do that,” she said. “It takes a lot of hard work and patience. But it’s important to have that passion to want to be here. Because the kids can feel that.”

All the di erent ways that heat harms The problem with tracking heat-related deaths is that its most pernicious impacts typically leave no trace. “I would consider heat to be a threat-multiplier, meaning it often puts other coexisting medical conditions in crisis,” said Dr. Jay Lemery, an emergency medicine specialist and the co-founder of the Program on Climate and Health at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The result is that when, say, a patient with cardiovascular disease shows up at the hospital during a heat wave, doctors typically see and address the medical issue. They don’t recognize the impact of heat that may have pushed the patient’s condition into crisis.
BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN Missy Anderson stepped out of the shade and into the worsening heat of another day in one of Denver’s hottest summers on record. Anderson is an injury prevention coordinator at Denver Health, meaning she works to deter the kinds of accidents and events that often land people in the hospital. On this July day, that involved giving a demonstration on the health dangers that summer heat can pose. She had parked her SUV in the driveway in front of the hospital and stuck a thermometer inside. Next to the car was a sign displaying the result. It was about 95 degrees outside. Inside, the temperature after just a few minutes had already climbed above 150 — hot enough to kill. In a few minutes more, it would hit 165. “We don’t think a lot about heat in Colorado,” she said. “We usually think about cold weather because that’s what we’re known for.” Just going by the official numbers, the health impacts of high heat are not something we need to think a lot about in Colorado. There have been no hot car-related deaths reported in the state so far this year. Last year, only five people in the state died from heat-related causes, according to death certificate data compiled by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. That encompasses all deaths with heatstroke, dehydration or hyponatremia as a contributing factor. In 2020, there were six heat-related deaths in the state. Kirk Bol, the manager of CDPHE’s vital statistics program, wrote in an email to The Sun that the numbers from both years are a statistically significant increase over the 20-year average of 2.7 deaths per year. Compared to the hundreds of heatrelated deaths that are documented annually in places like Phoenix and Las Vegas, though, the numbers make it appear as if Colorado has little to worry about, even as summertime temps creep higher. In 2020, the second-hottest summer on record for Denver and the one with the most 90-degree days, only about 300 people visited the emergency room in Colorado for heat-related illnesses and only about 40 people were hospitalized, according to CDPHE. Until recently, even official heat warnings have been rare in the state, due to Colorado’s traditionally low humidity and cool overnight temperatures. But experts in public health and prevention, such as Denver Health’s Anderson, say those official numbers are missing the bigger picture.

“That little push off the cliff gets people in trouble and they’ll have exacerbations of their disease,” Lemery said.

As the school year ended with one of the deadliest school shootings in history, Baca-Oehlert said teach ers and students are left fearing for their lives with not much reassur ance from those who are supposed to keep them safe. “The fear and the worry that you may walk into your school on any given day and not walk out, that’s re ally hard for our educators, for our students, for our families to think about,” Baca-Oehlert said. “That is a very real fear that our educators carry.”

A survey from the Colorado Education Association — the largest educator’s union in the state, repre senting more than 39,000 educators — found that 67% of their mem bers have considered leaving the field since the COVID-19 pandemic flipped education on its head. “Of course we don’t expect that many people to retire or resign, but it is a red flag and a warning sign that teachers are feeling stressed, stretched and burnt out,” said Amie Baca-Oehlert, the union’s president. “This past year, many have decided, was one of the hardest they’ve ever experienced.”SarahKlaiber, an elementary school teacher who has taught in the Denver metro area for nine years, said the career has always come with challenges: kids with behav ioral issues, communicating with parents and working in a high-stress environment for relatively low pay. Klaiber felt equipped to deal with those challenges, but things reached a breaking point when COVID-19 hit in“I2020.don’t think that most teachers, including myself, have gotten the support that they need from parents and administrators,” Klaiber said. “I think that administrators, for the most part, are doing their best as well; I just think everyone is very stretched thin and there are a lot of needs in every classroom.” After a year of teaching almost en tirely online, Klaiber said students struggled to return to the traditional classroom, where they were expect ed to sit still, not speak out of turn and pay attention for eight hours. “They’ve lost a level of autonomy that they had when they were at home,” Klaiber said. “The fact that we expect 8 year olds to sit and be silent for most of the day is starting to feel unfair to them.” Madi Shaheen, a former teacher in the Denver area, echoed Klaiber’s concerns and said the blame for kids not performing well in a pandemicriddled classroom often fell on teachers.“Itwas always the teachers fault; the teachers weren’t doing enough,” Shaheen said. “There has to be a stop somewhere where teachers no longer feel like they’re the reason why students aren’t performing well.”Sheehan said teachers go into the field because they are passionate about working with kids and do not expect high pay or recognition, but some form of appreciation after working through a pandemic, a series of school shootings and sky rocketing costs with stagnant wages would have helped low morale. “Educators don’t do this for rec ognition or appreciation, but there comes a point in time where you just get burnt out,” Shaheen said. “There is a deeper issue, and it has nothing to do with the educators, because we’re putting the time and the blood, sweat and tears in every day and we’re not being appreciated orKlaiberacknowledged.”saidshefelt pressure from parents and administrators to create a perfect environment in the class room without the support to make that happen. “It feels like if you haven’t been successful in creating this happy, calm environment where all stu dents are complying with rules, then you’ve failed as a teacher,” Klaiber said. “Teachers are used to being in their own little classroom bubble, and unless you’re crying for help and being very explicit in what you need, you might not get help.”
Baca-Oehlert also pointed to the trauma students have experienced over the last two years, from having their lives put on pause due to the pandemic to watching their peers die in shootings. Teachers have been unreasonably expected to provide mental health care for their stu dents, Baca-Oehlert added. “Our students have experienced collective trauma, and our educators have little resources to meet their mental health and social needs,” Oehler said. “That weighs on our ed ucators because we know students can’t learn if they’re not feeling safe and healthy, so when you don’t have the resources and support and you have mounting pressure on you, that adds to the burnout that our educa tors are feeling.”
Teachers considering leaving their jobs at higher rates

In the education association’s sur vey, Baca-Oehlert said many teach ers also felt they lacked autonomy in their curriculum, particularly as hot-button issues like Critical Race Theory, teaching about LGBTQ+ rights and wearing in schools made their way into the spotlight. “A lot of people are feeling that their professional voices were not respected,” Baca-Oehlert said. “The ones that are closest to the students are rarely asked their opinion and their professional expertise, so that certainty discourages people.”

There are no mask mandates and no quarantine rules in Colorado’s COVID guidance for the 2022-23 school year, but public health officials say they’re still tracking the disease and want school administrators to be open and honest with families about cases and clusters. New guidance released Aug. 10 largely treats COVID like other communicable diseases, continuing a policy the state established in February at the end of the first omicron wave. At the same time, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is continuing to make free rapid antigen tests widely available to schools and child care centers, both for weekly testing programs and for students to use at home.Colorado saw high levels of COVID-19 all summer, with a sustained plateau in hospitalizations that began to decline this month. Bailey Fosdick, a member of the state’s COVID modeling team at the Colorado School of Public Health, said the lack of mitigation measures like masking may contribute to some spread in classrooms, but the combination of vaccination and recent infection should put a brake on“Eventransmission.withschool starting, all of our models suggest cases and hospitalizations will continue to decline through at least the end of September,” Fosdick said. “And that’s due to the high levels of infections we saw in the spring and summer. We estimate that we still have quite a bit of immunity in the population, particularly immunity from severe disease.”StateEpidemiologist Rachel Herlihy said the new guidance aims to minimize disruptions for students and families while remaining alert for signs of clusters or higher transmission that might indicate a need for stepped-up precautions. Colorado is in a very different position than it was two years ago, she said, and that warrants a new approach.

Canyon Courier 27August 18, 2022 had underlying medical conditions, which is what caused the hospitalization and what doctors focused on for treatment. But how the patient ended up on the floor and what role a recent run of scorching temperatures had played in worsening the patient’s condition were not part of the diagnosis. Heat may have been the triggering factor, but it didn’t make the official Accidentsstatistics.causedby dizziness from dehydration, asthma brought on by poor air quality during heat waves, falls caused by touching a hot hand railing and pulling back — none of those get filed as being heat-related.“Alotoftimes, we think ‘medi cal problem,’” said Denver Health’s Anderson, a former emergency department nurse, “when in fact it may have been the heat.”
Preparing for even hotter summers That heat-related health problems — both obvious and less so — will continue to get worse as the Earth’s climate warms due to humancaused greenhouse gas emissions is taken as a given by experts. Colorado’s summers are getting hotter sooner and staying hotter longer, Anderson said. That means the window of time for heat-related health concerns is also expanding. Dr. Jonathan Samet, the dean of the Colorado School of Public Health, said “epidemic heat” — the waves of extreme heat that draw most of the attention — could cause higher numbers of officially docu mented heat-related deaths in Colo rado. That’s what happened on a 100-degree day this summer when a mountain biker died on a trail near Palisade called the Palisade Plunge after running out of water, a death the local coroner has classified as heat-related.Butlong-term exposure to high heat will impact health in other ways. Samet mentioned research by Colorado doctors on agricultural workers in Guatemala with unusu ally high rates of kidney disease. Chronic dehydration caused by working in extreme temperatures is a prime suspect, he said, and climate change could expand how many workers are at risk across the globe.InColorado, neighborhoods where a lack of air conditioning and sparse shade cover from trees are the norm are especially at risk. So, too, are people who are home less. On days when temperatures have soared to near 100, Denver this summer has opened recreation centers as cooling stations for any one needing a break from the heat, something Samet said will need to become part of a normal, healthfocused response to hot weather. “Public health needs to be pre pared both to alert the public and we need to be prepared to provide access to cool spaces for those who need them,” he said.

PUBLICChangesNOTICE
Some parts of the state are at risk for extreme heat — think the East ern Plains and areas around Grand Junction.Otherareas, especially those in the mountains, are particularly vulnerable to major wildfires. And then there are underlying social and health circumstances that place some communities more at risk than others. Communities with higher rates of poverty, higher rates of non-English-speaking residents and higher rates of non-white resi dents may be at greater risk of suf fering more due to climate change. The same goes for communities with higher rates of chronic illness. Karam Ahmad, a senior policy analyst at CHI who is working on the Acclimate Colorado project, said his organization hopes to create a Colorado “where communities are prepared to meet the emerging health challenges caused by a warm ing climate.” (You can dive deeper into CHI’s climate change impact mapsOnehere.)ofthe things that makes the CHI initiative unique is that it is not focused on trying to stop climate change from happening or to mitigate its effects. Instead, the organization made a conscious decision to think of climate change as a present-tense risk to health in Colorado, something that should be dealt with just like any other ongo ing health crisis. Lemery agreed that the medical and public health communities need to become better prepared for han dling climate impacts like extreme heat and all the consequences they bring.“Every year, I see this, and I get more and more scared,” he said. “It’s a palpable sense of something’s changing, something’s different and it’s not going to get better.”
