Planning board unanimously backs SouthGlenn plan Commission says city council should OK redevelopment

Children’s Hospital Colorado, partners unveil playbook

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The group of citizens who evaluate development proposals in Centennial unanimously recommended that the city council approve a plan to dramatically reshape The Streets at SouthGlenn outdoor mall and residential complex. Seven members of the Centennial Planning and Zoning Commission voted on Nov. 10 in favor of green-lighting a redevelopment plan that would, among other changes, increase the number of allowed apartments by several hundred units. “We have a housing crisis — I don’t think this is news to anybody,” SEE SOUTHGLENN, P8

Given Colorado’s local-control ethos and the wide latitude schools have long enjoyed in choosing curriculum, the state’s oversight effort is unprecedented and already appears to have prompted some of Colorado’s largest districts to adopt new reading programs. But some literacy advocates worry that there are signs of state backpedaling after a recent decision by education department leaders to allow at least 14 districts to continue using a state-rejected reading program called ReadyGEN.

Not letting up on federal and state lawmakers, Children’s Hospital Colorado held another roundtable discussion to push the message that action needs to be taken immediately to address growing mental health crisis for young patients. In June, Children’s held similar discussions, officially declaring a state of emergency due to a rise in youth suicide attempts and emergency rooms filling up with young psychiatric patients awaiting proper treatment. The most recent roundtable, held virtually Nov. 16, continued discussions about the growing crisis, and this time, the Aurora-based hospital system — with campuses in Highlands Ranch and Broomfield and facilities across metro Denver — came equipped with solutions, as it unveiled its “Children and Youth Mental Health Playbook.” In creating the playbook, Children’s collaborated with Healthier Colorado, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Colorado Education Association, Partners for Children’s Mental Health and Colorado Association for School-Based Health Care. Jake Williams, executive director of Healthier Colorado, said suicide

Colo. cracks down on schools with weak reading curriculum Cherry Creek, Douglas County districts among those notified BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado officials have ordered 15% of the state’s school districts to replace low-quality elementary reading programs, a major step toward enforcing a 2019 law that requires schools to use reading curriculum backed by science in

kindergarten through third grade. The state education department sent out dozens of letters in late October notifying districts that one or more of their schools use unacceptable reading curriculum and that district officials must submit plans by Jan. 17 for complying with the law. Among the districts receiving the letters are Adams 12, Cherry Creek, Denver, Douglas County, Englewood, Jeffco and Weld RE-4. State officials said they likely will send more letters after clarifying what curriculum some districts are using.

Even so, the state’s crackdown on K-3 reading curriculum seems to be working. Melissa Colsman, associate commissioner of student learning at the Colorado Department of Education, said only 41% of Colorado’s 178 school districts last spring met rules on K-3 reading curriculum. This fall, that proportion has risen to 63%. Officials from the 90,000-student Denver district announced Nov. 11 at a public literacy event organized by Chalkbeat that they’re piloting a state-approved reading program — Core Knowledge Language Arts — in some schools this year, with plans for a wider adoption in the coming year. The curriculum is among a dozen core reading programs that the state has approved for use in kindergarten through third grade. Officials in the Jeffco, Dougco, and Cherry Creek districts are also piloting or selecting state-approved reading programs this year. Some schools in the three districts have been using a state-rejected reading program commonly called Lucy Calkins, which experts have criticized for encouraging students to guess at words instead of sounding them out. School districts often adopt new curriculum every six or seven years. Such purchases can be expensive, but the influx of federal COVID relief money means schools now have extra cash that can cover such one-time expenses. Experts say well-trained teachers are critical to teaching reading well, but that high-quality curriculum can make that job easier. Among the districts that received state letters in October warning that they used unacceptable K-3 reading curriculum were those using ReadyGEN in some grades or schools, including St. Vrain Valley, Boulder Valley, 27J, and Thompson on the Front Range and Roaring Fork and Salida in western Colorado. Soon after, the state withdrew its demands for those districts to switch. Along with several other com-

monly used reading programs, ReadyGEN was reviewed and rejected by state evaluators in spring 2020. Schools using programs that failed the state’s review would have to replace them, state officials said then, and several times since. But now, the message is changing. Education department officials say even though state reviewers rejected ReadyGEN, schools can keep using it because it passed the part of the state review focused on whether it was scientifically or evidence-based — the criteria specified in the 2019 law — despite having other flaws. “We did hear from districts that said, ‘Your own review process found this to be meeting scientifically or evidence-based standards,’” Colsman said. Lindsay Drakos, a co-chair of the statewide dyslexia advocacy group COKID, said by email that the state’s shifting stance on ReadyGEN dilutes the state’s reading law and could open the door for schools to use other rejected programs. “If a curriculum is reviewed and rejected, then I believe that is that — it shouldn’t be used in schools in Colorado,” she said. Colsman said the state’s reversal on ReadyGEN points to “the realities of policy implementation because as we got into actually reviewing what districts were using, you realize that not everything fits into a neat bucket.” Reviewers of ReadyGEN said the program met key standards for science-based reading instruction, but they noted it doesn’t thoroughly cover all foundational skills. They recommended teachers compensate for these shortcomings by using the company’s intervention lessons, a supplement designed for struggling readers, for all students. Education department officials said the intervention lessons must be purchased separately and that while the state can encourage schools to buy and use those lessons, they can’t require it. ReadyGEN also fell short on the state’s review in the “usability” category because reviewers said it was hard to navigate.

Meredith Stolte, the district’s director of humanities, said during Thursday’s literacy event that she’s seen a big difference in reading instruction in the pilot classrooms. “When children engage in the explicit and systematic way of learning to read, the light in them is completely different because ... they can understand and it’s not a guessing game,” she said, “which, to be honest, is some of what exists in older curriculum like Benchmark.” Parent Priscila Ramirez, who also spoke at the literacy event, described the frustration she felt about

Colorado legislative maps get final approval Maps appear to favor continued Democratic majority BY THY VO THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado Supreme Court has unanimously approved new state Senate and House maps, the final hurdle the redistricting plans needed to clear before being adopted ahead of the 2022 election. The Independent Legislative Redistricting Commission followed the Colorado Constitution’s requirements for redistricting and didn’t abuse its authority in deciding how to apply them, Justice Richard L. Gabriel wrote in the Nov. 15 ruling. “Under our constitution, our review is a limited one,” Gabriel said. “It is not our task to determine whether other plans could have been adopted.” Approval by the state Supreme Court is the last step in this year’s once-a-decade congressional and legislative redistricting process, which was overseen for the first time by independent commissions created through the 2018 passage of Amendments Y and Z. The court separately approved the new U.S. House

map Nov. 1. The court’s approval of the state Senate and House maps allows the Colorado Secretary of State’s office and county clerks to redraw precinct lines to fit the new maps. It also provides clarity for incumbent lawmakers and prospective candidates who have been waiting for approval to make decisions about the 2022 election. The maps, which were approved by the Independent Legislative Redistricting Commission last month, appear to favor Democrats’ maintaining their majority in the General Assembly. Democrats now hold a 20-15 majority in the state Senate. They hold a 41-24 advantage in the House. Nine seats in the Senate, where Republicans have their greatest chance of a majority, would be considered competitive. The legislative maps, which take effect for the 2022 general election, received fewer legal objections than the U.S. House map approved by the Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission. A few parties made arguments that the legislative maps improperly split up cities like Lakewood and Greeley, and didn’t create enough competitive districts. SEE MAPS, P5

In its Nov. 15 opinion as well as in an earlier ruling on the congressional map, the Supreme Court acknowledged that, under Amendments Y and Z, its review of the maps was limited to whether the commission applied the correct legal standards and had reasonable evidence to support its decisions. For example, a Democratic group, Fair Lines Colorado, and Latino advocacy group, the Colorado Latino Leadership, Advocacy and Research Organization, argued the legislative commission approved a state Senate map splitting the city of Lakewood but lacked documented evidence to back that decision. Evidence supporting the splitting of Lakewood into two Senate districts is “thin,” according to the ruling. Although the panel “could have made a better and more explicit record to support its decision,” doing so wasn’t required of the commission, the court found. While the legislative commission could have made different choices, the panel adopted maps that “fell within the range of reasonable options,” according to the ruling. Court approval of the legislative maps marks the end of a chaotic first year under Amendments Y and Z. The 2020

census data used to draw final maps was nearly five months late this year, compressing the time that the redistricting commission had to hold public hearings and draw maps. Significant population growth resulted in the creation of a new 8th Congressional District, which will be the most politically competitive. The final U.S. House map creates three safe seats for Democrats, three safe seats for Republicans and two seats that could go either way. Republicans have a larger advantage in the new 3rd Congressional District, where U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Garfield County is running for reelection. Colorado is one of 13 states that have finalized their redrawn congressional maps, according to FiveThirtyEight. Although redistricting is unlikely to alter the balance of power in Colorado, Republicans have so far gained at least five seats in the U.S. House, give them a strong edge on recapturing the chamber, according to the New York Times. They need to flip five seats to gain a majority. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

should not be the leading cause of death for children. Healthier Colorado is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that says it is dedicated to raising the voices of Coloradans in the public policy process to improve the health of the state’s residents. Williams, along with a panel of speakers at the Nov. 16 forum, said local, state and federal lawmakers have to step up to address the growing mental health crisis that has only been exacerbated by the pandemic. According to the playbook, like many states, Colorado has a severe shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologist, leading to access-to-care gaps for children and youth. The playbook estimates that only 22% of youth who have mental illness with severe impairments are receiving care. Jim Weigand, a Jefferson County father of seven, participated in the discussions, sharing a story about his adopted daughter who has struggled with mental health. Wiegand said that to get the right care for his daughter, his family had to look outside of Colorado, placing her at a facility in Georgia. Wiegand said the Georgia facility helped his daughter over 15 months, putting a strain on the family to travel to see her with the added obstacles created by the pandemic. Wiegand said his daughter is

sistance. Dr. Sophie Meharena, of Every Child Pediatrics, a chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said the system is getting overwhelmed. Meharena described one Friday afternoon where four of her 16 patients told her they were having suicidal thoughts. Meharena said parents are overwhelmed in not knowing what to do and the industry is overwhelmed because it does not have the facilities, resources or workforce to address the continually growing number of patients in need of mental health intervention. “Without coordinated and consistent resources and access for all, we cannot have a sustainable system,” Meharena said. “Getting the mechanics right is key to a sustainable system to address the needs in Colorado. Investing in children’s mental health is investing in this country’s future.” In presenting solutions to the problem, the playbook points to local policy changes that should include more federal funding with a local impact and more local infrastructure for sustainable funding. The panel pointed to the funds coming from the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 where millions have been earmarked for states to use for mental health. Panel members are asking Colorado lawmakers to designate one third, or $150 million, of all the funds to youth mental health. The state got $450 million from the American Rescue Plan. Williams said this is a fair amount to ask for given that Colorado youth and young adults under the age of 24 make up 31% of the state’s population. Zach Zaslow, director of government affairs at Children’s, said funding cannot stop with the American Rescue Plan. For actual changes in Colorado, Zaslow said lawmakers at the state and federal

levels must commit to fixing the crisis by creating sustainable programs and funding beyond 2021. By creating the sustainable programs, Zaslow said children and youth will be able to get the care they need before a crisis. Meharena said part of the problem is the system is designed to be reactive rather than proactive. As part of the solution, the multi-agency playbook calls for state policies to prioritize children and youth mental health through continued federal funding investments and to make sure the new Behavioral Health Administration is child focused. Other solutions addressed by the panel include pushing lawmakers to change how the health care system separates physical and mental health. Currently, CHC Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Brumbaugh said the way insurance companies manage mental health makes it hard for families to afford proper care. Creating more virtual options for rural communities is also a solution, Zaslow said. Rebecca Doughty -- program director of Four Corners Youth Clinics, a member of the Colorado Association of School-Based Health Clinics -- said a shortage of trained psychologists and staff is a major problem in rural communities. Zaslow said having the ability to speak to qualified professionals without having to drive to Aurora would help get help to the young people struggling beyond the Front Range. Dr. Jenna Glover, a Children’s clinical psychologist, said the playbook the panel is introducing offers tangible information that will show lawmakers how they can begin to repair a broken system. Glover and members of the panel are urging the public to push lawmakers at all levels to start making mental health care for youth a priority.

Sky’s the limit for Sky Ridge robots

Hospital’s high-tech surgery program expanding BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Already serving as one of the state’s leaders in robot-assisted surgery, Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree is making a major investment in the future by building a special robotics unit. Construction in the Lone Tree hospital’s Evergreen building is currently underway for an outpatient robotic surgery center covering more than 26,000 square feet, slated to open in 2022. Sky Ridge CEO Kirk McCarty said robot-assisted surgery allows doctors to perform a variety of procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is usually associated with minimally invasive surgery, which can be performed through tiny incisions. In a robot-assisted procedure, surgeons operate on patients using a camera arm and mechanical arms that have surgical instruments attached to them. The surgeon controls the arms while seated at a computer console near the operating table. Through the technology, the surgeon has a view through a high definition, magnified, 3D lens. Sky Ridge Vice President of Operation Will Bertram said the $20

million expansion will have four operating rooms, eight pre-op rooms and six recovery rooms. In the new department, surgeons will focus on specialty procedures in gynecology, bariatrics and urology. Bertram said the new department is being built directly next to the gynecology department because of the number of procedures being done for women. Robotic technology has emerged in the last decade to treat issues with the female reproductive system, Bertram said. The robots are able to more precisely remove tumors and address issues with less complications, he said. Jeff James, a gynecological oncologist at Sky Ridge, said robotics in surgery has continually evolved over the last decade, noting that the ease of use, decrease of set-up time and patient success are all good reasons for the hospital to expand the program. “Currently, one of the problems is availability,” James said. “With the equipment we have now, we have to schedule surgeons and patients and make sure the robots are available. That is because they create the ability for far more efficiency and better-quality services for the patient.” In the past, James said preparing for a robotic-assisted surgery could take more than an hour to put the machine together. Now, with the equipment currently used at Sky Ridge and the future expansion, surgery prep takes around 10 minutes. In gynecological procedures,

The former Sears property at SouthGlenn is owned by Northwood Investors, which wants to add apartments there. Alberta Development Partners — which controls nearly all of the rest of SouthGlenn — wants to put in apartments and office space, and retail and entertainment establishments, where Macy’s stands. The core of the Macy’s redevelopment is expected to include three new five-story mixed-use buildings, according to details from the proposal’s traffic study. The Sears redevelopment would consist of a smaller retail building and three

said Commissioner Jon Roberts, who said he comes from a residential real-estate background. “Prices and affordability have affected our metro area, our city.” He spoke during the Nov. 10 portion of the meeting. It began on Nov. 9. Based on “market forces,” Roberts said, “what we need today is housing.” More than a dozen residents spoke during the meeting, with most mentioning fears about

new five-story residential buildings. Developers also want to modify the allowed height on the former Sears land and the Macy’s land from 50 feet to 75 feet. The current allowable building heights in The Streets at SouthGlenn vary across the site. No building is allowed to exceed 100 feet. For context, the current tallest building is the office building north of the existing Sears land at 85 feet, according to the city’s website. Because the City of Centennial approved a “master development plan” in 2006 that deviates from normal zoning, the developers — Northwood and Alberta — need the city’s approval to make certain

The Streets at SouthGlenn — formerly the site of the large, indoor Southglenn Mall built in the 1970s — sits in west Centennial at Arapahoe Road and University Boulevard, a major intersection in the south metro area. Roger Lane, one of the few speakers who commented in support of the redevelopment plan, argued that there are places in the Front Range and the Denver metro area that have not prepared for people expanding their population. “And they will come,” whether Centennial is ready or not, Lane argued.

A city official during the Nov. 9 portion of the meeting explained that the city has no policies in place requiring affordable housing. The city’s “staff and city council are looking to develop policies related to increasing the supply of affordable (or) attainable housing options in the city,” Kelly Ohaver, a spokesperson for the city, said in a statement to the Centennial Citizen. “What that looks like has not been determined yet,” Ohaver said. “The tentative timeline for potential policies is late 2022 or early 2023.” The outdoor mall complex currently includes 214 residential units in the existing Portola at

(The term “mixed use” generally refers to areas where a combination of residential and commercial spaces — or different commercial spaces together, such as office and retail — are located on the same development.)

A document regarding the proposed Streets at SouthGlenn redevelopment from the Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority, or SEMSWA, appeared to say that SouthGlenn had not been in compliance with stormwater policy. “There are existing underground detention/water quality facilities. These facilities were never accepted. Currently, the previous redevelopment is not in compliance with the MS4 permit,” the document says. SouthGlenn’s outdoor shopping center layout replaced the former Southglenn Mall in 2009.

lifestyle centers like The Streets at SouthGlenn often increase buyer demand and consequently property values,” the city website says. The redevelopment plan now faces a vote by the city council, which will hold a public hearing on Dec. 6-7, where the public can give comments in person before the

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s website. “The as-builts drawings were submitted and comments were forwarded, however, there are no records that the comments were ever addressed and therefore the facilities have never been accepted,” the SEMSWA document says. Asked whether the city intends to bring The Streets at SouthGlenn into compliance with SEMSWA’s requirements as part of the current redevelopment process, Kelly Ohaver, a city spokesperson, said: “Generally, new development and redevelopment within SouthGlenn would need to provide 100-year stormwater infrastructure to serve newly developed and redeveloped sites.” A “100-year” storm is a storm that has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. council vote. The role of the city’s planning and zoning commission was to make a recommendation to city council on whether to approve or deny the plans, but the council must make the decision. Here’s a look at what could change and what officials at the early November meeting had to say about traffic concerns. What could change Developers want to revitalize the mall, which has fought recent

Ohaver added: “Existing stormwater infrastructure may also require upgrades as a result of redevelopment. These are private improvement costs and would be the responsibility of the … developer. Stormwater requirements will be determined by SEMSWA at the time of the Administrative Site Plan review.” That review is a later stage of the redevelopment process. SEMSWA has “received several complaints about flooding/overtopping in Arapahoe and University during small storm events and this flooding/overtopping needs to be analyzed,” the document says. “The city is aware of flooding that presently occurs in E. Arapahoe Rd. and S. University Blvd. By providing additional stormwater detention volume with redevelopment and further vacancies and is facing the expectation that its Macy’s store will soon close. The Sears store at the opposite end of the SouthGlenn complex closed near the end of 2018. Because the developers want to change the mix of types of properties allowed at SouthGlenn, their plans need the city’s approval. The Streets at SouthGlenn is one of the top sources of sales-tax revenue for the city compared to other shopping centers, but it hasn’t been performing as well as it used to.

improvements to be investigated with each future development, it will ensure that redevelopment improves public infrastructure and aids in ensuring stormwater facilities remain functional and resilient,” a city staff report for the Nov. 9-10 Centennial Planning and Zoning Commission meeting about the SouthGlenn redevelopment plans says. The South Arapahoe Sanitation District wrote: “A sanitary sewer study will be required for any future Site Plans (development plans) on the Subject Property (SouthGlenn). Sanitary sewer lines downstream of the project may need to be upsized based on the sanitary sewer study,” according to a summary of comments from public agencies. “A developer is responsible for upgrading facilities” if it is determined necessary, Ohaver said. “Additional residential units will help provide a critical mass of patrons to existing businesses within the neighborhood, creating a more stable tax base from which to derive public services,” a city staff report for the early November meeting said. The meeting was a public hearing, a process where people can voice their opinion before the commission takes a vote. SEE SOUTHGLENN, P10

Traffic comparisons The redevelopment plans have proved to be one of Centennial’s most visible civic issues in recent years. A crowd of more than 100 came to the empty former Sears at SouthGlenn at a March 2019 meeting that introduced the plans to area residents. A main reason for the ongoing attention on SouthGlenn has been the potential for more traffic in the area. One resident of the nearby Glenn Oaks neighborhood expressed concern about traffic congestion spilling onto side streets and blocking the way out for residents. “I’m just afraid that I’m not going to be able to get out of my only exit,” she said at the meeting. Carolynne White, land-use counsel with the developers, wanted to focus the discussion on comparing what’s currently allowed to be built at SouthGlenn with what developers proposed. Without any rule changes, the developers could build 2 million square feet of commercial or office space and up to a limit of 350 residential units, White noted. “If they were to build that out to the max entitled today, (it) would generate significantly more traffic than the proposal” the city is now considering, White said. She added: “It really cannot be disputed that the impact will be

Nov. 10 whether it would be practical for the developers to carry out a redevelopment of mostly commercial space rather than residential space from a profit perspective — in other words, whether it’s a realistic option. “Just as market forces are forcing this change … the forces aren’t there to support the commercial uses that it’s currently set up for,” one of the planning commissioners said during the meeting. “They’re definitely there for the apartments and other living spaces that are needed.” The proposal came with a companion study on the impact the redevelopment would have on traffic. Along Arapahoe Road, Race Street, University Boulevard and Easter Avenue — which form SouthGlenn’s perimeter — most of the changes in the morning and afternoon would be less than a 10% increase and “do not represent significant changes to traffic flow,” according to the study by Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig, an engineering and planning firm. That version of the study, which had been revised, is dated October 2021. But traffic changes along Race Street would be “significant,” the revised study notes. The increase would range from 37% to 49% depending on the time of day and whether looking at short- or longterm effects. “This reflects the fact that Race Street has the lowest levels of background (existing) traffic of the surrounding roadways, so volume changes are more pronounced,” the study says. Commissioner Josh Larimer asked the developers’ team how traffic under the proposed rede-

velopment scenario would compare to traffic at Southglenn Mall in the 1980s, long before internet commerce changed retail trends. Chris Fasching — with Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig — estimated that if the mall was around 1 million square feet, it would probably generate about 30,000 vehicle trips per day. Asked how that compares to the total trips generated if the proposed redevelopment were approved, Fasching estimated that traffic under the redevelopment could be in the 30,000 to 35,000 trip-per-day range. “I think those numbers kind of converge, and they’re not dramatically different,” Fasching added. Said Larimer: “What I’m getting at is, for historical context, I don’t remember it being a logjam of traffic around there (in the 1980s). It seemed to function properly. But again, it may not be apples to apples.” Comparisons to traffic decades ago are likely difficult to make due to population growth and development in the surrounding area. Parking pondered The meeting also heard concern about whether parking capacity could handle the redevelopment. Donald Provost, founding principal with Alberta Development Partners, said during the meeting that new parking could include a “wrap” structure, tuck-under garages, or “podiums.” The developers’ team said the majority of the buildings that are possible on the Sears side of SouthGlenn would be parking structures internal to the buildings, similar to how the Portola apartments are set up.

VOICES It all starts with the attitude of gratitude

ach day brings us an opportunity to look upon the world in awe and wonder. Depending on where we live, travel to, or vacation, we have opportunities to see and experience some amazing sights. MountainWINNING tops are once again covered WORDS in snow against a bright blue sky. The fall foliage seems to have come alive this year with greater vibrance and the flowing of a river or creek carrying the fallen crimson, orange and yellow leaves. The magnificence of a sunrise as it enters the sky and lls our day with hope. The Michael Norton fi calming sunset that reflects all the events and beauty of our day. A Caribbean Sea caressed by the breeze singing a song through the palm trees. A rolling ocean as the waves crash upon the sandy beach and rocky shore. Even if we do not get to experience these beautiful sights and sounds firsthand every day, with social media, we still have the chance to appreciate them through the posted photos and videos online. Or when friends or family share with us a picture of their surroundings or “current situation.” And when they do, it lifts our spirit and feeds our attitude of gratitude. Some of us may not get to see nature’s wonders and God’s paintbrush as often as

others, but we all get to experience something even more beautiful, more awesome and more tremendously amazing, we get to see one another. And even more than the beauty that surrounds and inspires us, there are everyday people of all ages who bring us to tears of joy as we watch and listen to all they contribute to this world. It is even more special when they do not even know that we are paying attention to them. These folks fill our spirit, pouring into our own attitude of gratitude. The smile and laughter of a young boy playing with his puppy. The look of awe and wonder on a young girl as she watches a ballerina perform live on stage. The belly laughs of a grandfather as he tells his favorite stories from yesterday. The scent of mom’s holiday cooking filling the apartment and home with the love. God’s greatest creation, His most beautiful works, can be seen by simply looking at those around us in any given moment. And then there are the people who really inspire us, the givers, doers, and those who humble us with their servant’s heart. One of the greatest joys this world can offer us is the opportunity to serve others. All too often we look to be served, and if the service isn’t up to our standards, takes too long, or perhaps doesn’t happen at all, we get upset. We are put out. And then, as if perfectly timed, we are humbled as we watch as someone else serves a homeless person, volunteers at a shelter, donates their time and money, and

smiles lovingly through it all. That is awe and wonder, and that refills our attitude of gratitude. Sometimes we are simply watching passively at the beauty that surrounds us. And other times we are an active participant in this life, engaged in the creation and in the doing, living in the experiences and sharing each moment. We appreciate every sight, sound smell, smile, gift, breath, hug, call, text, card, message, and words of hope and encouragement that fill the atmosphere all around us. Our attitude of gratitude is so strong we want to share it with everyone. Here, during this week of Thanksgiving, let’s remember that during the chaos and confusion, disruption and doubts, that there is still so very much to be grateful for. The joys found in the littlest and simplest things. The awe and wonder found on the faces of children of all ages. God’s paintbrush that colors the sky, the mountains, the oceans and the desert. What fills your attitude of gratitude this week? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we recognize and appreciate the beautiful blessings that surround us, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Finding gratitude, even in these times

ot sure about you, but it doesn’t really feel like Thanksgiving time to me right now. It’s usually my favorite holiday — full of gratitude, lots of comfort food, and beloved family rituals. GUEST But this year is different, and I need to pick my chin up off the COLUMN floor and muster up the will to find the blessings around me. Yes, I say “the will” because I’m fully aware that I am in choice of how I respond to what’s going on in the world, my family relationships, and especially, within myself. I see harm and trauma all around this planet on many levels, and Linda Newell that’s only the harm I can see, not to mention what I can’t. In our own Colorado community, we can all see the rising human and economic costs of COVID-19 raging in our state right now, leaving many Coloradans with long-haulers’ health issues, losing loved ones, or losing their lives themselves. And now in my own family, it’s one of the most complicated times we’ve ever experienced with both celebrations and conflicts

abounding. I’m usually a cheerleader for the holidays and full of appreciation even amidst the endless commercialism or false narratives about the original Thanksgiving or Christmas. But now? Ugh. It’s hard to even think about getting a turkey or making my favorite pumpkin pie. So, as these uncharacteristically depressing thoughts have crept in (and stayed), I’ve stopped. I mean, I have literally stopped today. I’ve had to stop everything I’m doing just for this afternoon; canceled my Zoom calls, put a hold on my work tasks, and phone calls. I realized I needed to re-engage with myself inwardly, reflecting and listening to that still, small voice within for some guidance. Here’s what I got. It’s a blustery day with wind whipping through the trees and around my house. Even my cat couldn’t stay outside for more than a few minutes. But I’m safe with a roof over my head, food in the fridge, and enough money in my bank account to pay the bills this month. I’ve got family and friends who love me and who would show up for me in a heartbeat if I needed them. And above all, I’m alive!! Yes, there’s conflict, illness and death spinning around me, but I’m

alive. All of that is just stuff and actually, a part of life, right? I’m so darn lucky that I’m not in harm’s way. Sure, I have my own health and money issues sometimes, but I’m alive enough to feel the wind and sun on my face and my stomach full after eating my lunch. How can I be anything else but grateful? I’m not saying I should pretend that everything is perfect and rosy. We all need to acknowledge our emotions no matter what they feel like. And sometimes, we just need to sit in the mess. But maybe those of us who are lucky enough to have homes, food, and community need to get a grip and get on the gratitude train so that we can get out of our collective funk and help others who are less fortunate. As for me, I’m sitting in the mess (for a bit) and then finding that train. Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

Many Colo. voters have soured on Democrats, poll shows Survey offers ‘warning sign’ for Dems a year ahead of 2022 vote BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters have a less favorable view of Gov. Jared Polis, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and President Joe Biden compared to four months ago, according to a new poll released exactly a year out from the 2022 election. But while Democrats’ favorability numbers may have decreased, and Biden’s job approval took a hit, Polis’ approval numbers have stayed steady. Andrew Baumann, a pollster at the Democratic firm Global Strategy Group, which conducted the survey, said the results are “certainly a warning sign” for Democrats, namely when it comes to Biden’s decreases, which could affect the midterms. The Rocky Mountaineer poll of 800 Colorado registered voters was conducted Oct.19-24 by Global Strategy Group, in partnership with ProgressNow Colorado, a liberal political advocacy nonprofit. The survey was weighted to match Colorado’s voter registration split and had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. Global Strategy Group is a reputable pollster with a B/C rating from FiveThirtyEight, the political datatracking website. Forty-nine percent of voters said they had a favorable view of Polis, compared with 41% who said they have an unfavorable view of the governor. That’s down from June, when the last edition of the Rocky Mountaineer had Polis’ favorability at 56%, with 35% viewing him unfavorably. Forty percent of voters said they view Bennet favorably in the new poll, while 27% said they view him unfavorably. That’s down from June when 46% of voters said they viewed him favorably and 38% said they viewed him unfavorably. Biden’s numbers took the biggest hit. Just 45% of voters said they view him favorably while 50% said they view him unfavorably. In June, 55% of voters viewed Biden favorably, compared with 42% who viewed him unfavorably. When it comes to job approval, 47% of voters said they approve of the job Biden is doing while 50% said they disapprove. Another 3% said they didn’t know. The numbers are down from June, when 56% of voters said they approve of the job Biden is doing as president, while 40% said they disapprove and 4% said they didn’t know. For Polis, 57% approve of the job he is doing while 37% disapprove. Six percent said they didn’t know. The numbers are consistent with the June poll, when 58% of voters said they approve of the job Polis is doing as governor and 36% said they disapprove. “There’s no doubt that the presidential job approval matters in midterms,” Baumann said. “It’s down here. It’s down across the country.

It’s not ideal.” Democrats still hold advantage Baumann thinks inflationary concerns and congressional Democrats’ infighting over two major spending bills are contributing to the declining favorability numbers. “It hasn’t been our finest hour,” he said. While Baumann said elements of the poll are concerning, he doesn’t think the numbers reflect a changing political situation in Colorado, which has favored Democrats in the last two election cycles. “Nothing in these data show that the fundamental political calculus in Colorado has changed,” Baumann said. Voters, for instance, still said they would back or lean toward backing a generic Democratic legislative candidate over a generic Republican candidate by a 7 percentage point margin if the election were held today. And 52% of voters said they would vote for or lean toward voting for Polis compared with the 35% who said they would vote for Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, who is currently a University of Colorado regent. The poll also asked voters if they would vote for or lean toward voting for Bennet in an election against Republican challengers Eli Bremer, a former Olympian who lives in Colorado Springs, and state Rep. Ron Hanks of Fremont County. Bennet was favored by at least 13 percentage points in both hypothetical matchups. Voters also said they trust Democrats more than Republicans when it comes to reducing air pollution and addressing climate change, raising wages for Colorado workers, improving public education and bringing down the cost of health care.

How local artists help to define metro area’s beer scene BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

itting in the studio of Noelle Phares, a 35-year-old artist based in Lakewood, a collection of seasonal beers from the Colfax microbrewery West Fax Brewing can be seen adorning her shelves. Phares, who studied environmental science before becoming a fulltime artist, picks up a large can of the brewery’s brut IPA, a seasonal summertime favorite, and explains the meaning behind the salmon pink sky and purple mountains depicted on its label in watercolor brushstrokes. “This was a painting of an Alaskan landscape,” she said. “I wanted to highlight how unique the lighting is in a place that’s super snowy, especially around sunset time when you get really crazy colors and the whole landscape glows.” It is just one of several painting by Phares that were featured on the cans of West Fax’s Summer Artist Series in 2018. As Denver’s beer scene continues to grow, many breweries find themselves tapping local artists like Phares to compliment their products. “There’s been a long-standing symbiotic relationship between art and craft beer,” said Jack Buffington, a research professor at the University of Denver with more than 20 years of experience in the beer industry. “(Breweries) try to emphasize that, instead of being produced in some big factory, it’s being made by hand.” These small-scale beer makers -- usually referred to as micro or nano-breweries depending on the size of their batches and breadth of their distribution -- have found identity through local artists, helping them stand out from a sea of competition. But, more so than just boosting sales, Buffington said the art is about building community. “There’s so many big brands that exist in the world. … Everyone likes when you support local people. I think that’s a fantastic expression of culture.” For artists, it presents a unique opportunity for exposure. Ken Sarafin, a Denver-based digital artist, said Colorado’s capital has always had a lively art and beer scene. But it wasn’t until smaller breweries became more abundant that Sarafin said he noticed a shift from larger design firms to local artists when it came to the art on a can. “The breweries are offering a fantastic avenue for exposure for local artists,” he said. “That scene didn’t really exist before the craft beers.” Sarafin partnered last year with Resolute Brewing, with locations

in Centennial and Arvada, to design three cans for their new sour, lager and IPA. The cans’ labels are reminiscent of famous artists, such as the spiral sky of the IPA that evokes Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, or the Monet-style impressionism of the brewery’s lager. “It’s really cool to be part of the culture,” he said. “(Breweries) are almost developing their own niche art scene.

Sculpture of soaring swallows is winner Michelle Lamb artwork takes top award at ‘Own an Original’ BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“‘Together Again.’ Whether to laugh with one another, empathize, or mourn, being together is integral to society and humanity. It strengthens our common bonds and lets us feel supported and part of a greater purpose.” That was the thematic pitch when Littleton’s Fine Arts Board sought entries for the 56th “Own an Original” exhibition, which runs through the end of the year at the free-admission Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St. Versatile Littleton artist Michelle Lamb was awarded Best of Show for her mixed media metal sculpture, “Global Murmuration,” which is displayed at the gallery entrance.

Lamb is well-recognized locally for her mural that graces the rear wall of the Littleton Downtown Light Rail Station. She is also a member of CORE New Art Space in Lakewood. Murmuration is defined as “the ballet-like dance of a large flock of birds,” she said, adding the “instinctive hope of global togetherness ... Two brass swallows dive into a globe’s cage-like longitude/ latitude, while copperembossed birds swirl below. Piano wire reiterates swooping too ...” The exhibit includes 40 pieces by 36 artists and includes a variety of fine arts techniques, excluding photography (a separate photography show opens early next year). The juror was Catherine Chauvin, an associate professor at the University of Denver, who teaches drawing, common curriculum and all forms of printmaking. Chauvin commented in brief remarks to a crowd at the exhibit that she’d SEE SCULPTURE, P16

about the impact it could have on art history.” And as the beer scene booms, breweries find themselves marketing to more experimental drinkers, according to Buffington. “The marketing of beer had to be a lot more precise as opposed to a focus around (brand) loyalty,” he said, adding that compared to bigger brands, consumers see a “much more artistic presentation of the can,” from local brewers. Stacy McMahan, who lives in downtown Denver, knows this firsthand. McMahan, 32, began her career as a product designer at Copper Kettle Brewing Company in Aurora where she ran social media and

served as a photographer for the brewery. This led her to discover her passion for design and she went on to work for Four Noses Brewery in Broomfield where she did work on more than 50 beer cans. Most recently, McMahan designed and photographed for New Image Brewing in Arvada. Each brewery has its own style and target audience giving artists like McMahan the chance to try something new. “New Image was a fun project because it really forced me out of my comfort zone,” she said. “They have a different sense of branding than what I’m used to, so that was fun to flex a different muscle.” Reward is also found in seeing an artistic design move from McMahan’s computer screen, where she creates her work digitally, to being grasped in the palm’s of people’s

hands as they enjoy a beer. “You would always see (the art) in all these different situations with all these different people from different walks of life,” McMahan said. “Which is kind of the heart of beer in itself, to build community. It’s really cool to see that your label is now a part of that community.” “People are looking for more connection from brands,” she continued. “Sometimes art is the best way to connect with people. It’s all about crafting an experience.” Beyond just taprooms and liquor stores, McMahan said she has seen her beer designs in a host of settings, from the mountains of Colorado to the base camp of Mount Everest. The compact nature of a beer can grants local artists a chance to see their work in places they never would have imagined, said Phares,

the Lakewood artist who worked for West Fax. “What I love about the beer can thing is people bring beers in their backpack when they go skiing, when they go hiking, they bring six-packs to their friends house,” she said. “They work their way into all these different environments that art maybe traditionally hasn’t been in. I found it really fun to see my artwork that’s of these wild places actually out in some of these places that they were inspired by, because that didn’t happen very often for me.” As customers continue to browse the local beer section of their nearby liquor store, they’re likely to be met with a growing gallery of art. Phares said it adds a new dimension to how they will choose their next drink. “It’s like the new phase of judging a book by its cover,” she said.

personally made more art during the downtime we have all experienced. Her head was “in her art — not in the sand.” Lamb, an assemblage artist, said her metal wall hanging, which measures 20 by 24 inches, includes brass birds and copper roof flashing — the latter bought in a roll. The brass birds were originally smooth-textured and she engraved feathers and lines with a Dremel tool, reshaping the heads. “On the meridian of the globe, I used the bass string of a piano, which also swirls in and out as birds swirl.” The sheet of copper flashing is filled with images of flying birds — swallows as well, so a viewer has the sensation that the entire piece is in motion. Lamb pressed lines into the flashing, defining additional swallows and assembled the various elements. She then antiqued the piece with black paint, applied and wiped off, leaving lines of paint in the crevices. In addition to being an imaginative artist, she has become an accomplished craftsman, who figures out logistics as she creates her works in her home studio. Moira Casey, the museum’s exhibition curator, oversaw installation of the exhibit in the museum’s large gallery, as well as installation of a longer-lasting

2 dead with gunshot wounds in crashed vehicle BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two people were found dead with gunshot wounds in a crashed vehicle in a parking lot near Geddes Avenue and Havana Street in the central Centennial area, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies responded at about 3:30 p.m. Nov. 15 to the auto crash and found a male and female in the vehicle, according to Deputy John

voters said they trust Democrats and the GOP equally. Thirty-eight percent of voters said they have a favorable view of former President Donald Trump, compared with 58% who have an unfavorable view of him. When asked about U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, 25% said they have a favorable view of the Garfield County Republican while 38% said they have an unfavorable view of her. When asked if they agree or disagree that Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election, 67% of voters said they agree while 29% said they disagree. Four percent said they don’t know or refused to answer. Among Republicans, just 38% said they agree that Biden legitimately won last year’s presidential election,

Bartmann, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office. The location is just east of where Dry Creek Road curves northward and becomes Havana Street. The vehicle was traveling eastbound on Geddes Avenue, jumped the curb and hit a parked vehicle in the parking lot at 10700 E. Geddes Ave. and came to rest a short distance past that, Bartmann said. No one was hurt in the crash other than the occupants of the vehicle that went off the road, according

to Bartmann. It appeared that the gunshot wound to the driver caused the car to go off road, according to Bartmann. Deputies believe the gunshots happened while the vehicle was on the road, Bartmann said. Deputies didn’t know the circumstances of the shooting, and Bartmann declined to say whether a weapon was found in the vehicle. Bartmann said it wasn’t known whether the female and male were known to each other. He didn’t

specify their ages. “They have both been identified for investigation’s reasons, but we don’t know whether they knew each other or not,” Bartmann said that evening. Anyone who was in the area of Easter Avenue, Havana Street and Geddes Avenue around the middle of the afternoon Nov. 15 who has information about the incident should call the sheriff’s office, Bartmann said. The office’s non-emergency number is 303-795-4711.

shows a decline in support among unaffiliated voters. Fifty-five percent of unaffiliated voters said they approved of the governor’s handling of COVID in the new poll, compared to 63% in June. Biden also saw a steep decline in his COVID-related job approval among Colorado voters. Back in June, 63% said they approved of how he was handling the pandemic. That dropped to 50% in October. A brighter spot for Democrats in the recent poll is that 54% of voters think Polis and Democrats “got it about right” when it comes to their handling of the pandemic. Twentyseven percent said Democrats overreacted while 12% said they didn’t take it seriously enough. Republicans in Colorado got much lower marks on the question. Just 31% said the GOP got it about right, while 44% said they didn’t take it seriously enough. The poll also asked about requir-

ing health care workers and state employees to be vaccinated, requiring teachers and students to wear masks at schools, and requiring airline passengers to show proof of vaccination before flights. More supported than opposed all three. Sixty-two percent of voters said they are pro-mask while 30% said they are anti-mask. When asked about getting vaccinated against COVID, 74% said they are pro-vaccine while 20% said they are anti-vaccine. “The data shows Coloradans are really on one side of the debate about vaccines and masks,” Baumann said.

Voters support mask wearing, vaccination The poll also asked coronavirusrelated questions, revealing mixed news for Democrats. In June, 65% of registered voters said they approved of how Polis was handling the pandemic, while 30% said they disapproved and 5% said they didn’t know or refused to answer. When asked this month, 58% said they approved of how Polis is handling COVID-19, while 35% said they disapprove and 6% said they didn’t know or refused to answer.

Heritage gymnast takes two individual state titles Kate Bryant wins vault, floor exercise competitions in meet at Thornton BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Heritage High School’s Kate Bryant is a state champion gymnast who is also an entertaining dancer. Bryant, a junior at the Littleton school who was third in the all around on Nov. 4, won two Class 5A individual state championships on the final day of the three-day state meet on Nov. 6 at Thornton High School. She won the vault competition with a 9.9 and she also was the champion in floor exercise with a 9.775 score. Heritage coach Andrea Schmidt said Bryant is a talented and dedicated gymnast. “Kate has such a positive attitude and a great spirit,” said Schmidt. “She is quiet but will often make her teammates and coaches smile by dancing before her routines.” Bryant says dancing helps her relax. “I started dancing during meets a couple years ago,” Bryant tells Colorado Community Media. “I really struggled with competing, and dancing kind of just took some of the seriousness out of an extremely nerve-racking sport. Surprisingly, it improves my focus.” Bryant said she usually does macarena, sprinkler or shake dance moves. “It quickly caught on with the team and it’s easy to see how much

fun we have when we are on the competition floor,” she said. “We dance during the meets to have the best routines we possibly can. It’s just our thing.” She didn’t dance on the way to the podium after her two individual title winning performances, which were the first titles for the Heritage co-op team since 1982. “I did pretty good,” she admitted.

“I just had fun, that was the main thing. Honestly I was just glad the meet was over because it was really fun but it was really stressful, because once it was over it was a release and we could celebrate as a team.” Her dancing translates into good gymnastic performances. “I basically had to tell myself at the state meet not to over think it

too much because that’s when I start to get really mental,” said Bryant. “That’s part of the reason why I dance. Whatever happens, happens. I try to do my absolute best. “Thinking isn’t bad but I have to trust that I know what to do and I just have to let my body take over. Basically my goal is to make it (performance) 1 percent better than last time.’

Practices launch winter sports seasons Prep football teams still heading into tournament time BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a Jan. 11, 2019, photo, Rock Canyon’s Nick Fallin (3) goes in for the layup just outside the reach of ThunderRidge’s Colton Sanders (23). The Grizzlies ended up on top that night with the final score of FILE PHOTO BY PAUL DISALVO 34-31.

With the football season still ongoing with semifinal games set for Nov. 27, the high school winter sports seasons began with practices on Nov. 15. However, for Valor Christian in Highlands Ranch, that means the boys and girls basketball teams will have to be flexible because of damage to the gym floor due to a boiler leak. Also in Highlands Ranch, the gym floors at Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch high schools were impaired in the summer when a heavy rainstorm coupled with roof repairs resulted in damage. The repairs

have been completed at both schools and the gyms are in full operational mode. Rock Canyon’s girls volleyball team did not host a home match all season. Highlands Ranch’s volleyball team had a home match to end the regular season and got to host a regional tournament. Highlands Ranch entertained Rock Canyon in the final regular season volleyball match and both teams celebrated senior night. “Unfortunately our gym flooded a few weeks ago and caused quite a bit of damage,” said Valor sports information manager Paige Stingley. “We’ve had to get creative in our efforts to carry on practices for our winter teams. “Wrestling will continue to practice in the wrestling room, as there was no damage from the water in there. Our boys team will be

practicing at South Suburban Rec Center early in the mornings, while our girls team will alternate between having individual skill practices during studentathletes’ off periods, and holding shorter-length team practices in our small gym in the afternoons. It will certainly require us to be creative and flexible this season.” Valor Christian’s girls basketball team defeated Regis Jesuit of Aurora to win last season’s state championship. The Eagles hockey team is the defending state champs. ThunderRidge of Highlands Ranch won the 2021 boys basketball title and Cherry Creek of Greenwood Village is the defending girls state swimming champions. Pomona of Arvada won last season’s boys wrestling championship with Parkerarea Ponderosa the runnerup.

Denver Hospice provides ‘a group hug’ Chaplain Keith Swingle is celebrated for 25 years of service BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver Hospice Chaplain Keith Swingle said he attended seminary school because he knew he wanted to serve in ministry in some capacity. He had a friend who did an internship with hospice care, but Swingle didn’t figure that end-of-life care was for him. But upon finishing seminary school, Swingle realized he was cut out to be a hospice chaplain. “It is everything I wanted, in terms of one-on-one — meeting with families on their own turf during a vulnerable and helpful time,” Swingle said, adding it gives him “a chance to make a real difference.” And more than a quarter of a century later, Swingle is still making a difference in peoples’ lives when they need it the most.

25 years with Denver Hospice Swingle has been serving people and families as a hospice chaplain for 28 years this October. Twenty-five of those years have been spent with The Denver Hospice. “His commitment to patients and families goes above and beyond, with how he supports, listens and cares for our patients and their families,” said Melinda Egging, president of the nonprofit provider of hospice and palliative care. “Keith can be counted on for his smile and his sense of humor - yes, sense of humor during hospice care. Finding grace and humor is important as we walk this journey.” Egging added that Swingle was the chaplain for her family when her mother-in-law was in hospice. “He was so gracious and kind. He connected with our family and was a great support,” Egging said. “I know first-hand the important role chaplains like Keith contribute during this important time.” Swingle, 54, was born and raised in Ohio. He spent 2-1/2 years serving as a hospice chaplain in Ohio before moving to Colorado. He had friends moving to Colorado, and found the job with The Denver Hospice before making the move. Swingle now lives on Lookout Mountain near Golden. He is married and raising a 14-year-old. With The Denver Hospice, Swingle -serves the north metro area out of The Denver Hospice’s Westminster location. The Denver Hospice was established in 1978. As a nonprofit, nobody who needs hospice care will be turned away, Swingle said. The agency serves the entire metro area, with its Inpatient Care Center located at 8299 E. Lowry Blvd. in Denver’s Lowry Field neighborhood. A minister without a church A chaplain is a “minister without a church,” someone who doesn’t represent a specific denomination or particular church, Swingle said. What chaplains do is help people

cope with losses, Swingle said. In addition to the loss of a loved one, losses can include a person’s independence, control and role — or, purpose and meaning of life, Swingle said. “Sometimes, the immediate family can’t, or doesn’t know how to, talk about it with their loved one,” Swingle said. That’s where a chaplain can help. Swingle’s visits to patients run the gamut, but the underlying role is to provide a comforting presence. Sometimes, visits are a friendly check-in just to see how the patient doing. Other times, it’s to pray with them. Or, if needed, Swingle will also help with arranging memorial services or connecting a person or their loved ones to a rabbi or Catholic priest. No matter the reason for Swingle’s visit to a particular patient, it’s always a meaningful visit, he said. His goal: to ensure that all hospice patients “feel well-supported, cared for and that we always have time for them.” When people are at end-of-life, they need to feel that they have someone to talk to, said LeRoy Baker, administrator of Broomfield Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. “When people are transitioning, spiritual needs are just as important as physical needs,” Baker added. Hospice care is a team effort, Swingle said. He works in a team setting with Registered Nurse (RN) case workers, Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA), social workers and others. “Keith has always been someone we look up to,” said Rachel Phillips, an RN case manager with The Denver Hospice. “He’s genuine and caring. That’s comforting for the families, but also for us. It’s very calming to have him here.” `He does way more than expected’ During the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, Villagio Senior Living — a memory care community in Broomfield — worked with The Denver Hospice to have a dedicated team provide hospice care for its patients. “They acted as if they were our own in-house staff,” said Carisa Brown, the community’s executive director. “The Denver Hospice has been vital to our success.” In addition to tending to patients’ needs, Swingle was sometimes called on to support staff who were struggling or otherwise having a hard time coping, Brown said. But he also helped in ways well beyond the typical roles of a chaplain. A while back, a patient who was in clinical isolation at Villagio received a new bed. It was a hospital bed, with all the gadgets, said Tia Abeyta, the wellness director for Villagio. “This was during the period of time (of the pandemic) when only nurses and CNAs were allowed in,” Abeyta said. “So the equipment company couldn’t come in to assemble it.” Swingle happened to be there that day, so he geared up in full personal protective equipment to help Abeyta assemble the bed, and they were able to get it put together for the patient. “He does way more than expected,” Abeyta said.

to become a regional service center offering these procedures. This expansion will allow us to have the largest fleet of robots in the Rocky Mountain region.” The need for robot-assisted procedures has steadily increased at Sky Ridge, Bertram said. After using one robot for several years, he said, the hospital invested in six more machines in 2015. As information about robotics has become more readily available, Bertram said people are seeking out facilities that offer the technologically advanced services. Sky Ridge

has not only treated patients from across the entire Front Range, but also statewide and from neighboring states, he said. When robot-assisted surgeries started in 2013, Bertram said, Sky Ridge surgeons performed 250 procedures. In 2021, Sky Ridge will do 1,300 robot-assisted procedures, he said. McCarty said Sky Ridge administrators would never have started discussing the expansion concepts and designs of the new center in 2018 if it were not for the “exceptional” surgeons working at the hospital. “All the robots and pretty space would mean nothing without the great surgeons we have here,” he said. “We have a rock star staff taking care of our patients.”

HOSPICE FROM PAGE 21

‘Our dog approved’ David and Alissa Newman of Lakewood had a large Husky dog named Dazbog when David, who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in August 2017, started hospice care. While friendly, the dog was never into cuddling. But, on Swingle’s first home visit with the couple, Dazbog went right up to Swingle and greeted him. And the next thing you knew, David said, Swingle had a 70-pound dog sitting on his lap. “That’s how we knew we liked Keith,” Alissa said. “Our dog approved.” David Newman is a 34-yearold Army veteran. He enlisted in October 2005, and did two tours in Afghanistan. He grew up in the Lakewood area, and upon return from the Army, he decided to study engineering at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. He and Alissa met at a CrossFit gym while she was also attending CSU. David’s original prognosis was 14 months, “so we’ve had

much more time,” Alissa said, adding they take every day one at a time. David emphasized how fortunate he feels to have Alissa as his wife. Alissa cared for her husband at home until the recent COVID-19 restrictions on visitations to care facilities eased. “It’s been different than getting to see him every day,” she said. But the two video-chat frequently, and Alissa visits in-person as often as she can, between work and her graduate studies. “Dave and I are fortunate to have support groups.” However, while grateful for it, with all that support comes something that has been particularly challenging for Alissa — the management of everyone who has offered to help, she said. The Denver Hospice treats people like people, not patients, Alissa said. David’s care team relieves her from what she calls the “mental gymnastics” of managing all of her husband’s needs. “It’s such a resource to have someone to talk with about spiritual stuff, (and) a hospice team taking care of him,” Alissa said. “It’s like a group hug. I felt, and continue to feel, so supported.”

Leftover Halloween pumpkins make for farm feast BY ALEXIS KIKOEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

On a dirt road in rural Elbert County about 10 miles east of Parker, a blue pickup truck drives toward Peachy Farms, a farm-animal rescue, education and therapy center. The bed of the truck is piled high with bright orange Halloween pumpkins. Behind the wheel is Mimi Nouri. Nouri is the founder of Lone Treebased Garden to Farm, a nonprofit that seeks to prevent food waste by providing local farms with excess produce from residential gardens. Once she arrives, Katrina Wright, owner and operator of Peachy Farms, starts cutting up the pumpkins. She is surrounded by over 100 animals including pigs, goats, llamas, alpacas, horses, emus, ducks, chickens, quail, and more. They have been

receiving produce deliveries from Nouri for about a month. Nouri started Garden to Farm in the early summer of 2021, as the result of an apple tree in her backyard producing an abundance of fruit. She was inspired to do something to prevent the apples from going to waste. “Why am I not donating this and helping the smaller, rural farming communities that we have here in Colorado?” she thought. Nouri started making calls to local farms, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Four farms in the area welcomed the extra produce as feed for their animals. “[The farms] were like, ‘We love it, we need the help, please bring it to us,’” recalls Nouri. Nouri wants to make as big an impact as possible. She posted on

NextDoor, Facebook, and Instagram, asking neighbors to donate their excess garden produce as well. Then, she thought ahead to fall and Halloween. “I knew we were going to have tons of pumpkins,” she says. She put out another post asking neighbors for their carved pumpkins, even offering to pick them up herself. “On Halloween night, my phone blew up,” says Nouri. She has collected over 50 pumpkins to donate. Peachy Farm, at 42900 Vista Ridge Road, is grateful for the extra food, especially now. “This time of year is when it slows way down,” says Wright. “Our volunteers disappear, our funds get depleted, and so it’s great to have food come in to feed (the animals), because it gets very costly, very fast.” Nouri is thrilled to see the animals

enjoying the pumpkins that would have otherwise been discarded. Preventing food waste is central to the mission of Garden to Farm. “It’s just a small person like me trying to make a big difference in the world, but it’s one step at a time,” says Nouri. “I cannot believe what our future will hold if we continue to live at the pace that we are.” Animals at Peachy Farms If you live in the north Douglas County area and would like to donate excess produce, you can find more information at www.gardentofarm. org.
