Centennial King Soopers workers take part in strike Marshall Fire Dozens of metro-area may aff ect stores see picketing amid emergency dispute over pay, benefits planning BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thousands of King Soopers workers across metro Denver went on strike starting in mid-January as the local grocery store union pushes for better pay and opposes what it says are unfair labor practices. The strike has impacted 77 stores, according to United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7, the union’s Colorado branch. The strike includes some King Soopers stores in west and east Centennial. “I wish it didn’t have to come to this,” said one picketer in Centennial, who said he’s worked for King Soopers for 10 years. He said he cares deeply about his coworkers and the customers that come into his store every day. SEE STRIKE, P6

Alerting public to dangers remains a challenge, Arapahoe emergency director says BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Once a city opponent Originally, 20 years ago, I was one of the 23% who voted against the creation of the City of Centennial. I didn’t think the city founders were giving us all the information. We were never told what it would cost us to remain the same (as an unincorporated area governed by Arapahoe County) and not become a new city.

It’s difficult to say what lessons Arapahoe County may take away from the Marshall Fire so far, when details are still emerging, said Nathan Fogg, Arapahoe County’s emergency manager. “But public alert warning is always something that’s difficult,” Fogg said, referring to the systems that sends alerts to cellphones in emergencies. Some residents during the Marshall Fire in Boulder County say they received little notice — or no notice at all — to flee their homes in the face of an inferno that became Colorado’s most destructive wildfire in terms of the number of homes destroyed. The Dec. 30 fire led to one confirmed death and another person still unaccounted for. Many people don’t know that they can only receive alerts for certain emergencies if they’ve signed up for a free notification service. “Right now, the best option we have is to increase our opt-in rates” for how many people sign up, Fogg said. Across Colorado, rates of opting into the local

Former councilmember talks city identity, SouthGlenn Kathy Turley reflects on city council service after term recently ended BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Kathy Turley looks back on her time on the Centennial City Council, the sometimes unclear question of the city’s identity stands out. “In my eight years on council, I have been singing the same song: ‘We, the (city) staff and the elected

officials, know who we are.’ The rest of the world doesn’t,” Turley wrote to the Centennial Citizen. “When you drive into Centennial, you don’t know it as opposed to when you drive into Lone Tree, you know!” Turley represented the far west part of Centennial from 2014 to early January of this year. She served council District 1, the region encompassing most areas between South Broadway and Colorado Boulevard. She also has served as mayor pro tem, a position that carries out the duties of the mayor temporarily when the mayor is absent. Centennial City Council consists of nine elected representatives, including

Blood supplies running low Donations are needed now in all regions

In one of many blood drives held in Highlands Ranch last year, Vitalant Assistant Donor Care Specialist Natasna Almeyda prepares the vein for the blood donation from Steve Packard, of Castle Pines.

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

Caitlin Ballenger, the American Red Cross regional communications manager for Colorado and Wyoming, said while the national organization does not directly collect blood in the state, they do provide blood to 11 hospitals in Colorado, including Denver Health, Swedish Medical Center and the University of Colorado Hospital. In total, the American Red Cross supplies 40% of the nation’s blood, Ballenger said. Because of the continued shortage, Ballenger said the American Red Cross has had to limit blood product distributions to hospitals. At times, as much as one-quarter of hospital blood needs are not being met, she said. “Seasonal blood shortages are not uncommon in the U.S., however,

what makes this situation unique is the many compounding factors (COVID-19, severe winter weather, supply chain and staffing challenges, and holidays) at play,” Ballenger said. “These challenges have resulted in the lowest national blood inventories in more than a decade. What is even more challenging at this time is that the blood supply levels have remained at historically low levels for now nearly four months.” Vitalant, with nine Colorado blood donation centers, is also seeing a continued decrease in blood supplies. The national program also hosts blood drives throughout the region, including through partnerships with organizations such as the Highlands Ranch Community Association. Brooke Way, communications manager for Vitalant, said there are several contributing factors that have led to the nationwide shortage of blood. In 2020 and 2021, Way said Vitalant was forced to canceled 500 bloods drives due to COVID and, like other industries, staff shortages. “We are now trying to make up for all those lost units we could have collected,” Way said. In Colorado, Vitalant blood supplies matter because they provide units to more than 75 hospitals statewide, including Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. Linda Watson, the hospital’s VP of

Watson said they are getting plenty of participation in the drives, noting that they had a full slate of donors for the Jan. 10 drive they recently held. However, while blood drives do help replenish supplies, Annen said they do not always result in the type of blood hospitals need most. Type O blood is needed the most, she said. In recent weeks, Ballenger said the Red Cross has had less than a one-day supply of type O blood and platelets — critical blood products for those in need. The general standard, Ballenger explained, is to have a five-day supply of all blood types on hand at all times. “The Red Cross works with hospitals around the-clock to help meet the needs of patients, but blood product distributions to hospitals are currently outpacing the number of blood donations coming in,” Ballenger said. “More donations are needed now, especially platelet and type O, which is the most needed blood group by hospitals.” To donate blood, Annen said residents do not have to wait for a special blood drive. Hospitals and donation centers throughout the Denver metro area can collect blood regularly throughout the year.

ARAPAHOE COUNTY

As the population grows, housing inventory has decreased and home prices are selling well above asking prices. SHUTTERSTOCK

Panel says economic gains likely in 2022 Recovery, high prices expected in the coming year BY MOLLY ARMBRISTER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Colorado economy is expected to continue improving in 2022 following the tumult of 2020 and the persistent fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic through 2021. That recovery will further drive an already hot housing market, according to a panel of economists speaking at a local summit presented by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors earlier this month. The metro Denver area, including Douglas, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties, are poised to capitalize on the overall economic improvements, thanks to healthy growth trajectories and growing populations with disposable income. Colorado’s unemployment rate sat at 5.1% in November 2021, a drastic improvement over the earlypandemic rate of 11.6% in May 2020. Douglas and Arapahoe counties look even better than the state at large, with 3.4% and 4.7% unemployment rates respectively, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. And while we’re not totally out of the woods when it comes to either COVID infections or economic snags, 2022 is set to provide a road to recovery, although it might come with a few twists and turns, said Patty Silverstein, president and chief economist of Development Research Partners, speaking during the summit. Colorado has recovered 85% of the jobs lost in 2020, according to Silverstein, placing the state in a better position than the country at large, which has recovered 83% of the jobs lost. Colorado is expected to fully recover 2020 levels of employment by September of this year. The area’s standing as a population magnet is a big contributor to the strength of the economy here, according to Nadia Evangelou, senior economist and director of forecasting at the National Association of Realtors. In the last decade, metro Denver’s population has grown by 420,000 on a net basis, representing a population increase of 17%, compared to just 7% in the U.S. as a whole. More specifically, the Denver area remains popular with members of the millennial generation who are

increasingly taking the plunge into homeownership, even as inventory remains constricted, leading to bidding wars and skyrocketing home prices. In fact, 31% of the Denver-area population are millennials, many of whom are on the cusp of buying a home, Evangelou said. She anticipates another year of high home-buying activity in 2022, although a bit less than in 2021. “2021 was the best year for the real estate market since 2006 in terms of existing home sales,” she said, speaking of the national housing market. Six million homes were sold in 2021 across the U.S., according to NAR data, the largest number since 2006, when 6.5 million homes were sold in the run-up to the housing collapse of 2007 that triggered the Great Recession. NAR’s projections show existing home sales reaching as high as 5.9 million nationwide in 2022, indicating another year of frenzied buying. The challenge for many buyers in metro Denver right now, though, are the high price tags that most homes come with these days, the result of low inventories and lots of competition. DMAR’s latest Market Trends Report shows that the median home price in metro Denver hit $545,000 in December, an increase of nearly 20% over the previous year. And it’s hardly the first time in the last decade that the market has posted double-digit price appreciation. Some inventory relief may be on the way in the form of new homes built. Silverstein’s data show a 31% increase in the number of residential building permits pulled in 2021 to just over 50,000, including both single- and multifamily units. But new builds almost always come with a higher price tag than comparably sized existing homes, so the impact of these new builds on pricing will be indirect in the form of boosting the overall level of supply, hopefully reducing competition in the marketplace. The pace of buying could also be slowed by anticipated increases in interest rates, and the rate at which people are moving to Colorado is slower than it was in the middle of the last decade. These market dynamics together should result in slower price appreciation in 2022, Evangelou said, but prices will stay high and competition will be fierce for those trying to buy a home.

Share of COVID hospitalizations ‘due to’ virus drops Rate of COVID patients who had other main reason for entering hospital rises amid omicron BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado has seen its number of patients currently hospitalized with COVID-19 continue to spike back up since late December, but the latest surge in hospitalizations stands out from previous upticks. That’s because among recent COVID hospitalizations, only roughly 65% were identified with a primary diagnosis of COVID-19, according to the state public health department — meaning that for as many as 35% of the hospital patients with the virus, COVID is a less important or “incidental” finding, such as for patients who are admitted for other reasons but test positive for COVID later. By contrast, the “baseline value” — the rate of COVID hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of COVID that was typically seen before the omicron variant surge — was around 80% to 90%, according to data provided by the state health department. Seeing that number decrease so dramatically is associated with the rise of omicron, said Rachel Herlihy,

the state epidemiologist. “And I think, honestly, it goes to the fact that we have so much virus transmitting in our community right now,” Herlihy said in a Jan. 13 interview. She added: “We estimate that between 1 in 10 and 1 in 15 people in the state are (currently) infectious with COVID.” So it’s natural to see people ending up in the hospital for reasons other than COVID and then testing positive later, Herlihy said. ‘With’ and ‘due to’ Data on the state’s COVID-19 website, located at covid19.colorado. gov/data, show patients hospitalized “with” COVID, not just those who are hospitalized “due to” the disease, according to Herlihy. That’s despite the fact that a graph on the site is labeled “Patients Currently Hospitalized for COVID-19.” Clicking on an “i” information icon brings up a window that explains that the “currently hospitalized” data reflects those “hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19,” not “due to.” Information that breaks down how many patients are hospitalized due to COVID is “not real-time data” — state officials have to dig into that separately, Herlihy said. The state public health department collects data about currently hospitalized patients in two ways: through data sources called EM Resource and the COVID Patient Hospital Surveillance system, or COPHS. EM Resource provides daily data about

bed and resource utilization and availability in hospitals across the state. On the other hand, “COPHS includes daily reports from hospitals with detailed information about each COVID-associated hospitalization. Because COPHS includes more

detail, the data takes more time for health systems to compile and send to us,” said a statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the department. SEE COVID, P5

COVID FROM PAGE 4

The statement added: “In either system, some of these hospitalizations are due to COVID (i.e. the most important reason the patient was admitted was related to COVID), while COVID is a less important or incidental finding in other hospitalizations.” COVID numbers crucial But even though not all COVIDrelated hospitalizations tracked by the state are “due to” COVID, it’s still a crucial type of data for the state to pay attention to, according to the department. Even in cases when people are hospitalized with COVID rather than due to it, the disease still complicates their hospitalization — either by making them more ill “or making it more challenging for health care

providers to provide care to those individuals,” Herlihy said during a Jan. 12 news conference. For example, members of a care team will have to wear additional personal protective equipment, increase room cleaning, avoid putting infected and non-infected patients in close proximity, and take other steps to avoid disease transmission, the information center’s statement said. The strain on the hospital system matters for a stressed health care workforce, Scott Bookman, state incident commander for COVID-19, said during the news conference. “Our frontline health care workers have been doing this for almost two years now,” Bookman said. Before now, the proportion of COVID-related hospitalizations that were due to COVID had been largely consistent going back to the early months of the pandemic in Colorado, according to state data. Another unique characteristic of the omicron-driven surge is that

hospitalizations may not take long to reach their peak for this wave of COVID. “We obviously don’t have a perfectly clear crystal ball on this, but if Colorado was to follow the trends predicted in our modeling data and

also follow the experience of other (places),” then the state could see hospitalizations peak within two weeks, Herlihy said on Jan. 13. The peak may even arrive by the “end of this week into next week,” she said that day.

The union told the Centennial Citizen in a statement that it didn’t want workers quoted by name. The picketer juggles work and college classes while living with his parents, and he said despite how long he’s worked for King Soopers, it’s difficult to make his paycheck work with the cost of apartments in the area. To live in “my own place on my own, I wouldn’t be able to support myself,” he said. In trying to reach a deal with the union, King Soopers has offered to boost hourly pay for a full-time checker with five years of experience by $1.50 more this year to $21.01 an hour, The Colorado Sun reported. King Soopers has proposed to start pay at $16, according to the union. The current starting pay in Colorado King Soopers locations is as low as $12.56 outside of the City of Denver, which has a higher minimum wage, according to the union. Denver’s minimum wage is $15.87. “The company’s current proposal on wages is meaningless because language they have inserted would allow them to reduce wages below levels provided for in the agreement if they wanted to do so,” the union said in a statement to the Centennial Citizen. The union’s most recent proposal was that workers be paid between $18.56 and $25.51 per hour, depending on classification and years of service, the union said in the Jan.

Part-time King Soopers workers often can’t get second jobs due to the unpredictability of King Soopers’ schedules, the union said.

the union added. Many King Soopers workers are on the margins of financial stability, according to a report on Kroger workers cited by the Sun. Kroger owns King Soopers. For the report by the nonprofit research firm Economic Roundtable in Los Angeles, researchers surveyed 10,287 employees in Colorado, Southern California and the Puget Sound region of Washington and found that 70% worked part time, the Sun reported. Fourteen percent of Kroger workers are homeless now or have been homeless during the past year, according to the report dated this January. One of the report’s authors, who acknowledged the report, “Hungry at The Table,” was funded by Colorado’s Local 7 and other Kroger unions in California and Oregon, said the unions had no influence on the findings, the Sun reported. Other items at issue for the union include: • The union is pushing for a “comprehensive proposal regarding COVID-19,” which includes hazard pay and safety measures “designed to make stores safer for both workers and customers,” the union said. “Hazard pay” means

additional pay for performing hazardous duty, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. • King Soopers is proposing to be able to hire “gig” workers, according to the union. “The hiring of these workers would affect seniority in scheduling, ability to maximize hours and, because of the way health care plan funding works, would represent a serious risk to health care for all workers,” the union argued. • The union alleges that King Soopers broke its current contract with the union by hiring temporary workers to fill store vacancies, an issue that is part of “separate grievances and a lawsuit,” the union said. (“Gig” and “temporary” mean different things in this context, the union said.) On a company website, King Soopers said its offer “reaffirms our commitment to our associates and is our largest wage and benefit investment in King Soopers/City Market history.” “King Soopers/City Market remains committed to the negotiation process and to settling an agreement that is good for our associates while keeping groceries affordable,” The Kroger Co. said in a Jan. 10 statement.

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

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

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

pandemic will continue to unfold. The virus is spreading at record rates in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, for example, according to Tri-County Health Department. “These next few weeks are likely to be among the most challenging we have faced over the past year,” John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health, in a news release. According to Tri-County Health data, 3,193 new cases were reported on Dec. 31 across the three counties, the most on any single day since the start of the pandemic up to that point, the agency said in the release. All three counties have exceeded their all-time high seven-day incidence rates — which were previ-

ously set in November 2020 — with rates exceeding 1,000 cases per 100,000 people in each, according to the release. (“Incidence rate” means the rate of new cases.) “Over the past two weeks, Adams County rates increased by 403%, Arapahoe County by 437%, and Douglas County by 480%,” TriCounty said in the Jan. 5 release. In addition, COVID test-positivity rates are also at record levels, greater than 25% in each county, according to the release, referring to the percentage of tests that come back positive. “Although hospitalization rates have not risen as much thus far, hospital capacity in our counties and region remains critically SEE SURGE, P21

We voted! We lost! It’s the American way! I then decided I wanted to be involved in the beginnings of birthing the city and ran for office. Today, I am one of the most vocal outspoken supporters of the City of Centennial. Part of Centennial history My involvement with the city, before I became a councilmember, was the community electing me to serve on the Centennial Home Rule Charter initiative. (In 2001, Centennial formed as a “statutory city,” generally governed by state laws. On June 10, 2008, the citizens of Centennial voted to approve a home rule charter — essentially a constitution for the city — making it possible for Centennial to have control over matters of local concern, including sales tax collection, according to the city’s website. Centennial’s citizens had elected 21 residents to serve on the Home Rule Charter Commission to draft a home rule charter in 120 days — Turley served as one of those commission members.)

A contentious debate The most difficult issue while I was on city council was the arduous and time-consuming task to convince the Southglenn neighborhood that the proposed changes to The Streets at SouthGlenn were a good idea and that everyone would benefit from this redevelopment.

VOICES

Persistence is more than just pushing through

WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

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

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

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

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

A new year of opportunity FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

Patricia Kummer

e welcome in the new year as we give a final wave to 2021. I hate to say “good riddance” since there were a lot of positive things that occurred last year. It almost feels like the Herman’s Hermits song “I’m Henry VIII, I am”: Second verse, same as the first. Let’s see, we still have COVID-19, many businesses are not fully reopened, travel is restricted, and many things remain in short supply. Oh, but the stock market set 70 new record highs last year¹ and is off to a good start in 2022. It is hard to know how to plan but even more important that you do. Our Chief Investment Strategist Jeff Krumpelman, CFA, stated, “The market has continued to climb that wall of worry that has only

seemed to grow taller. Inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, labor shortages and fear of potential new strains of coronavirus stand at the top of the list of concerns on investors’ minds, as well as fear of policy mistakes.” The positives from last year include an improved employment picture and healthy balance sheets as consumers pay down debt and can’t find more things to buy. Corporate earnings remain strong, and the economy continues to expand. Investors made good money last year but wonder if supply chain issues will slow manufacturing and if omicron will curb business profits. The Federal Reserve has shifted its language to say inflation is more “persistent” than previously thought but

still believes this is associated with one-time bottlenecks resulting from the pandemic. Still, the Fed is taking steps to tighten the money supply through interest rate hikes in 2022. Inflation and economic growth are most influenced by long-term factors like demographics, debt, and technology, according to Forbes. Indexed equity returns are likely to be soft for several quarters, and a correction could certainly be in line given the current economic conditions.¹ Investors can expect continued market volatility, which also can bring opportunity. What if inflation is truly short-lived? And what if there isn’t another economic shutdown? You want to plan for your long-term goals and not be derailed by the wall of

worry. After all, we had these same concerns last year, and the market set new highs despite them. If any level of inflation remains, you will want to have an investment strategy to stay ahead of rising costs. Remember, the outlook for lower economic growth is still growth. You may have new year’s resolutions that you should be planning for. Continue to match your goals with your investment strategy. Most opportunities occur from sticking to a plan and letting history (or songs) repeat. 1.

systems are typically low, he added. There is an alert system that the public doesn’t have to sign up for: the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, or IPAWS, which is operated under FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It’s a system that includes wireless emergency alerts, which most people know as the AMBER Alerts they receive on their phones about abducted children, Fogg said. The system can send messages to an area based on location, including through mobile phones. But it’s not perfect, and it comes with some problems that can complicate the response to an emergency. There are three versions of wireless emergency alert technology: 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0, according to Fogg. How old someone’s cellphone is determines how “intelligent” a phone is, meaning what version of alert it can receive. The 3.0 alerts can be received by newer cellphones. “WEA 3.0 (devices) are newergeneration phones that can use GPS to determine within (one10th of a) mile if the phone is inside the alerted area,” Fogg said. If it is, then it gets the alert. WEA 1.0 and 2.0 phones, on the other hand, get the alerts if they are connected to a cell tower close to the alerting area. “Close” is defined differently by different cell carriers — it could be 5 miles or up to 15 miles, for example, Fogg said. And when sending an IPAWS alert, the three different technology versions are not something the alerting agencies can select from, Fogg said. WEA 1.0 is the original system and has a 90-character limit, according to Fogg. Emergency agencies using IPAWS have to, at a minimum, complete the 90-character message. All cellular phones can receive those messages regardless of their WEA version support, Fogg said. “Until all the older phones … are (phased out) and replaced by WEA 3.0-capable phones, bleed over and wide-scale unintended alerting is a known outcome” of using the system, Fogg said. One example of that problem was when residents outside of Englewood received a boil-water alert in August due to potential contamination in Englewood, Fogg noted. “So there’s caution to be used with those wireless emergency alerts through IPAWS because in an evacuation scenario, you don’t want to overload your roadways with people who don’t need to evacuate,” Fogg said. For those reasons, local officials urge the public to opt into their local alert systems. Visit tinyurl. com/ColoradoAlertSystems to find information on the emergency notification system in your area. The public should note that the City of Aurora’s system is separate from the system for the rest of Arapahoe County. To improve preparedness for

disasters, Arapahoe County maintains a Hazard Mitigation Plan, the recent version of which is dated January 2021. The plan notes that the county is “vulnerable to a wide range of natural and human-caused hazards, such as flooding, severe storms, wildfire” and other hazards. It’s not yet clear whether the record-setting damage in the Marshall Fire will prompt changes to the county’s plan. “The Marshall Fire, I think, is causing everyone to make sure their planning processes are up to date,” Fogg said. “The magnitude of that, we’ve never seen it before. It’ll definitely be a consideration in our review cycle this year.” The process for potentially making changes to the plan takes place annually, Fogg said. He noted that the plan is “aspirational rather than binding,” meaning the proposed strategies are not required to be completed. The 2022 review date for the plan is not yet certain, with an expected time frame in April or May, according to Fogg. According to the 2021 plan, one of the “2020 Hazard Mitigation Actions” for Arapahoe County was “Subdivision Design/Setback requirements in Wildland Urban Interface.” Fire officials use the term “wildland urban interface” to refer to areas where structures and other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland or plant life that can fuel fires. A “setback” is the minimum required distance between a building and a property-lot line, waterway or road. Subdivisions are pieces of land divided up, often for an area of housing. That part of the county’s plan suggested requiring “larger setbacks or non-flammable walls or stone setbacks around new subdivisions that are developed in the high-risk Wildland Urban Interface (to) avoid property damage.” The timeline is listed as “TBD,”

or to be determined, and Fogg deferred to the Arapahoe County

Pairing experienced pilots with students the goal for Young Eagles BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

f pilots enjoy what they do, it’s a double win when they can share their enthusiasm with young kids. “This is just one way of giving back after spending all the money to learn to fly,” said Commercial Pilot Charlie Philips. Philips is one of several local pilots who donate their time, expertise and their equipment to introduce kids to life in the cockpit. Philips said he’s flown more than 500 kids through the Young Eagles program. More than 22 young girls and boys from ages 8 to 17-years old took flight in the EAA Young Eagles Aviation Program on Dec. 18 at Centennial Airport, one of several rally events the group hosts in Colorado each year. For 20 of them, it was a brandnew experience. They’d have never flown in a plane before. “It’s the most fun I’ve ever done with an airplane,” Philips said. “When you get out of the plane, these kids smiling like crazy, it makes it all worthwhile no matter what it costs.” The Young Eagles program is offered nationwide by the Experimental Aircraft Association. The free program has introduced nearly 2 million Young Eagles to aviation since it started 30 years ago. Volunteer pilots and ground crews participate in the program to teach the kids the mechanics of an aircraft, taking off and landing, understanding the flight plan, communicating with air traffic controllers,

classroom lessons and operating simulators. The final step is climbing into an aircraft and flying. They allow one child per plane and each one gets an opportunity to take over the yoke and fly the plane - with the pilot sitting right alongside. Most of those come at rally events hosted out of regional airports. National effort, regional impact The EAA Chapter 301, based out of Parker, has two locations that support the Young Eagles - The Wings Museum Exploration of Flight facility at Centennial Airport and Colorado Air and Spaceport. Colorado Air and Spaceport has supported the program for more than 15 years with more than 2,000 Young Eagles flown. The Wings Museum Flight Facility location provides the classroom and space on the ramp outside the building for the flights. “We have eight pilots and aircrafts flying about between 22 and about 26 kids at each rally,” said Tom Letts, Young Eagles Field Representative who manages the program at Centennial. The Young Eagles also have chapters based out of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield, the airports in Boulder, Erie, Longmont, and Englewood’s Colorado Skies Academy. Each child gets a 20-to-30-minute flight depending on air traffic and the weather during the flight. When they land, they get a Young Eagles certificate that identifies the plane, pilot, and date of flight. They also receive a briefing and a logbook. SEE PILOTS, P13

That’s something they can take with them to get further pilot training. “We flew over 200 kids when we started in May, but we didn’t fly the kids January, February, March or April, due to COVID. We started light May and June we flew 45 kids, but we pared back,” said Letts. It’s fun for the pilots, too. “It’s wonderful to take these kids out, I have been doing this for quite a while. I’ve been flying for 44 years, actively flying, and about 40 years as a flight instructor. I’ll keep doing this as long as they let me,” said pilot and flight instructor Mark Smith. It’s a nice use of a busy airport, which brings in $30-40 million in revenue to the area, Lett said. “A lot of people don’t know this, but Centennial is the number one busiest general aviation airport in the United States,” Letts said. “And it’s the 26th busiest, controlled towered airport in the United States-its busier than Honolulu, Hawaii-its busier than JFK- and busier than Salt Lake City. And on any given day, it’s busier than Denver International Airport.” Next generation But the program has a serious side, too, creating the next generation of aviators, commercial pilots, and airplane mechanics, Lett said. “It’s a lot of fun and this program was designed to get kids interested in aviation,” said Letts. “We’re

Also, we need mechanics as well.” There are plenty of aviation-related jobs, he said. “Even if the kid did not enjoy the flight, I always like to explain aviation is way more than just the airplane, it’s all the surrounding businesses such as air traffic controllers and ground crews,” Letts said. EAA Chapter 301 has flown more than 7,000 young eagles in Denver and has also given out scholarships for those students who are interested in aviation. In addition, the future pilots can attend the EAA Air Academy in the summer and take flying lessons for future aviation education. “Since inception, the scholarship program has awarded $33,112 scholarships to 24 recipients,” said Blanche Cohen Young Eagles Coordinator for the chapter. “Several scholarship recipients received private and commercial pilot certificates. Many attended aviation universities and the EAA air academy.” Cohen said the program qualifies for part of the Boy Scout merit badge. The ground school alone is part of the Girl Scout badge since the Girl Scout program does not allow members to fly.

Lowry, and that’s the main campus. But the Centennial Airport campus has some distinct benefits. “They built this facility to be able to have an opportunity to get up close and personal, to see the flightto touch- and to feel. The Lowry Museum is wonderful from an educational and historical standpoint,” said Palmer. “But there’s still that missing component of putting it into reality. So that’s what we are doing here. We’re bringing that reality to touch, feel and look, we’re inspiring the next generation.” Wings at Centennial also have a program for STEM teachers called “Teacher Flight.” It is similar to the Young Eagle’s program and it’s also free where they take a teacher out flying in a plane so they can take the experience back to the classroom. “The teachers are going to be able to share in a way so we can look for the next engineers-the next pilots-

the next ground crew- the next mechanics or whatever we need for the aerospace industry,” said Keith Palmer Executive Director Exploration of Flight Campus Wings Over the Rockies Museum at Centennial Airport. Also, at the Wings Museum, there is a simulator all kids can operate and experience flying a plane. Palmer said “There’s a young lady upstairs right now that flew this morning on the simulator, and as she’s bopping around, you can see her expression and to see her desire. It gave her the bug,” Palmer said. “We need the young men and women to be excited about where their direction is and to see you’ve added a little piece of being able to help them. It’s an inspiration watching it start to come together. I tell you what- it goes a long way. It does make your day it’s not a job anymore- it’s just absolutely fun.”

Arapahoe girls take easy win over Fossil Ridge Hoops coach still aims to get better performance from fourth-ranked team BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe coach Jerry Knafelc had a message for his girls basketball team after an easy win over Fossil Ridge on Jan. 11. The Warriors, fourth in the Jan. 10 CHSAANow.com Class 5A rankings, raced to an early lead, which paved the way for a 59-46 non-league victory in the game played in the Arapahoe gym. “It wasn’t perfect but what game is?” said Knafelc. “We’ve got to get better. That was most of our conversation in the locker room. It was a nice win. It was a win but there are a lot of things we can do better.” He mentioned individual play on defense, off side on defense, rebounding, finishing shots, taking appropriate shots and throwing good passes. “There were bits and pieces against Fossil Ridge,” Knafelc added. “Whatever the score ends up being, as long as we play our best. Whatever the score is, if we play our best basketball and we win, great. If we play our best basketball, we could lose to somebody. You played your best basketball and that other team just happened to be better.” Arapahoe was better, especially early in the game. The Warriors led 32-13 at halftime and went on a 12-1 run to start the third quarter to grab a 30-point lead with 3:54 left in the quarter. Fossil Ridge trimmed the Warriors lead to 10 points at 53-43 with 2:13 left in the game but a 6-3 spree by Arapahoe curtailed any comeback for the visitors from Fort Collins. Sydney White, a junior guard, led the way for Arapahoe with 22 points, which included six three-

point baskets. White was six-for-eight from three-point range, had five rebounds, five assists and a steal. “Sydney White played really well,” said Knafelc. “She’s kind of a three-level scorer. She can score inside, she can score midrange and she can score from outside. “We have a player each night that goes off like that. That’s a good problem we have.” One of those players is 6-foot-

2 center Sam Crispe, who was saddled with foul trouble against Fossil Ridge but still managed to score 15 points. Crispe, who will play at Boston University next season, had four

rebounds and two assists. Arapahoe, 8-3 after the Fossil Ridge victory, had a Centennial League game against Cherokee Trail on Jan. 15. Fossil Ridge saw its record dip to 4-4.

‘Maui’ Freeman is wrestling powerhouse Chaparral program takes on tough schedule in aim for renown BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chaparral’s Geoffrey Freeman started wrestling three years ago and at first he wasn’t attracted to the sport. “I got into wrestling just to be good at football,” said Freeman, who was a defensive end on the Wolverines’ football team. “I started when I was

a freshman and then I was like `this sport is actually fun.’ “I fell in love with it. I just like the competition, it’s just one versus one. It’s not your team, it’s just you and another guy.” Freeman, who was third at the state tournament last season at 220 pounds, is Colorado’s top-ranked Class 5A 195 pound wrestler this season, according to the OnTheMat ratings. He improved his record to 24-3 on Jan. 11 with a pin 37 seconds into the first period over Nathan Sandy in the Jan. 11 dual meet against Legend. Chap won the meet, 51-27, in the completion which saw 11 matches

end with pins. “My season has been going real good,” said Freeman. “I’ve beaten some really good kids. I beat a kid that had been undefeated in two years. I’ve lost three times this year. We went to Kansas and then I lost to the 4A No. 1 kid (Cheyenne Mountain’s Nicco Gagliardi) here. I beat him the week before and then he beat me. It was a hard match. “It’s been a good season, the team is looking good and I’m having fun too.” Freeman is nicknamed Maui, which also goes back three years. “I got that back when I was a freshman,” he explained. “I’ve got

the hair and everybody would say there’s Maui. I just said OK.” Chaparral is fifth among Class 5A teams in the Jan. 13 OnTheMat rankings but Wolverines wrestling coach Alex Joseph claims it will take a little more time before Chap is ready to compete with teams like top-ranked Pomona and No. 2 Ponderosa. “I don’t know if it’s realistic to compete with them at the state tournament this year,” said Joseph. “It’s all about where kids go to school. They go to schools based on their program. For us to have three state SEE MAUI, P16

champions, then people would see us if we did that. “Programs win and it attracts wrestlers. I expect to beat both those teams in the coming years. That’s my goal. This team is about three or four years away. We’re building it up before we can really compete with the Pomonas.” Joseph believes the foundation is solid and a national schedule will help. “We have one of the biggest youth

programs in the state so we just need more personnel, more guys that can compete at a higher level. The biggest thing is coaching and the strength of your schedule. So we’ve made our schedule as strong as it’s ever been. The reason that’s so important is there are only 9.9 scholarships per team for wrestling and colleges only recruit from specific tournaments. You really have to go to national showcase tournaments. “We have a lot of good youth wrestlers in Parker. In order for us to attract those kids to come to Chaparral, we need to have a national schedule.”
