County names board members, director for new health department Process in crunch as deadline is Jan. 1 BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With half a year left before the dissolution of the Tri-County Health
Department, Arapahoe County has announced its five-person board, and the sole finalist for executive director, to helm future health services. “What we’re doing is unprecedented,” said Shawn Davis, a Coloradobased health care consultant who will serve on the county’s new Foundational Board of Health.
Following the breakdown of Tri-County, which for more than 50 years had been delivering health services to Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, Arapahoe has been in a race against time to create its own health department by Jan. 1, a day after Tri-County’s services will end. “We don’t have the option of delay-
ing it or asking for an extension,” Davis said. “We owe it to the county to be ready by Jan. 1.” As that deadline looms, the department’s new board expressed optimism that it is on track to provide high-priority services to the county’s population of just under 650,000 SEE MEMBERS, P6

Coronavirus cases in Arapahoe County are beginning to trend down after an uptick over the past several weeks that moved the county into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s worst COVID category. For the week of June 19, the seven-day rolling average for cases was 1,415, according to data from the Tri-County Health Department, which provides health services to Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties. Come Dec. 31, Tri-County will disband after Douglas County commissioners voted to split from the agency last year over masking policies and an inability to optout from health orders. The three counties plan to stand up their own

Centennial Airport wins “Colorado Airport of the Year” Award Centennial Airport was distinguished as the “2022 Colorado Airport of the Year” by the Colorado Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics. The award was presented on June 9 during a meeting of the Colorado Aeronautical Board held in conjunction with the Colorado Airport Operators Association Spring Conference held in Grand Junction. The Colorado Airport of the Year Award is presented annually by the Colorado Division of Aeronautics to recognize Colorado public-use airports that exhibit outstanding contributions to the Colorado Aviation System. Airports distinguished with this recognition demonstrate values that fall in line with the CDOT Division of Aeronautics mission to advance a safe, efficient, and an effective statewide aviation system through collaboration, investment, and advocacy. Since May 12, 1968, Centennial Airport - APA (formerly known as Arapahoe County Airport) has been Denver’s south metro air connection. Today, Centennial airport continues to hold the rank as the United States’ second busiest general aviation airport, providing airport users a safe and efficiently operated airfield that provides access to all
reaches of the world. Centennial Airport’s robust infrastructure and prime location has attracted an incredible amount of aviation-related businesses to the airport to thrive in the economic synergy that can be felt throughout the airport. The future vision of Centennial Airport is now led by 23-year APA veteran Mike Fronapfel. “It is an honor to receive this award on behalf of everyone at Centennial Airport. We could not have earned this award without the hard work and dedication of our staff and the support of our aviation community. Receiving this recognition from our peers makes this honor even greater,” said Centennial Airport Director Mike Fronapfel. According to the 2020 Economic Impact Study of Colorado Airports, Centennial Airport is responsible for supporting 10,341 jobs, producing over $593 million in annual payroll, while generating $2.1 billion in overall business revenue. The Colorado Airport System consists of 76 public use airports that support over 345,000 jobs, provide $16.2 billion in annual payroll, and $48.6 billion in total business revenue for the State of Colorado.

Pirates Cove cuts summer swim hours Staffing shortages addressed in state grant program BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Center in Englewood, announced June 23 that it will be closed every Monday for the rest of the 2022 season due to staffing shortages. Swimming lessons at the Englewood Recreation Center have also been canceled because of staffing shortages, the City of Englewood announced on its website. Englewood is not alone. According to the Colorado Sun, there have also been reports of lifeguard shortages and pool opening delays in Longmont, Fort Collins, Brighton, Wheat Ridge, Boulder and Aurora. Amid reports of staffing shortages at swimming pools throughout Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis announced new efforts to help fix the problem, including a new grant program to help offer higher pay, a waiver allowing 16- and 17-year-old lifeguards to work more overtime and a grant that will offer $1,000 to those who successfully complete training and begin employment as a lifeguard, according to a June 21 news release from Polis’ office. “Spending time at a local public pool is a fun and healthy way to
enjoy our beautiful Colorado summers. But across the state we need to fix the shortage of lifeguards and pool workers to open closed pools and expand operating hours as we head into July 4th weekend and the heat of summer,” Polis said. The Pools Special Initiative 2022 To stop staffing shortages and pool limitations and closures, one of the efforts Polis announced on June 21 is a new grant program: Pools Special Initiative 2022. According to the news release, this is a one-time grant program that aims to incentivize and retain public swimming pool employees. The program is a partnership between the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and the Office of Economic Development and International Trade’s Outdoor Recreation Industry Office. The grant has $350,000 in available funding, and eligible recipients of the grant include local governments operating a public swimming pool that is experiencing issues with recruiting and retaining staff this summer. The maximum amount a grant applicant can receive is $25,000. According to the news release, “local governments are encouraged to utilize federal stimulus funds to match this grant opportunity.” Funds can be used for expenses related to recruiting, attracting and retaining public swimming pool employees, such as offering pay increases or

signing bonuses. Applications were being accepted until June 28, and awards will be made July 1. The grant program is expected to end Sept. 30, 2022. Incentives for lifeguards In addition to funding being offered to local governments, there are also opportunities for incoming lifeguards to earn $1,000, the news release stated. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment announced that, in collaboration with local workforce centers, it will provide workforce training and support recruitment efforts through the Reskilling, Upskilling and Nextskilling grant. Through the grant program, individuals will be paid up to $1,000 if they complete the required training to become a certified lifeguard and begin employment as a lifeguard. Those interested in more information can visit: cdle.colorado.gov/ news-article/lifeguards-neededJune2022. “We’re excited to be a part of this
multi-agency effort to get more public pools open for longer hours,” said Joe Barela, the executive director of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. “The Reskilling, Upskilling, and Next-skilling Workers (RUN) grant sweetens the deal by allowing teens to earn money while they complete the necessary training and secure the certifications needed to be a lifeguard at our pools. Interested teens and their parents should visit their local workforce center or cdle.colorado.gov/jobstraining to get support signing up.” To help increase available staffing capacity, the department also announced that it is issuing an emergency waiver effective immediately through Sept. 5, 2022, that will allow 16- and 17-year-old lifeguards to work more overtime if they want to. Under this waiver, these lifeguards can work no more than 10 hours per day and 54 hours per week. “Coloradans should be able safely enjoy time with friends and family during the hot summer months, and we’re going to get more pools open and expand hours,” Polis said.

by the beginning of next year. But challenges lie ahead, especially as the department looks to finalize a budget, secure funding and attract staff. “Make no mistake, with this kind of transition do we think it’s going to be a smooth transition and issues won’t come up? Absolutely not,” Davis said. The board consists of county commissioners Nancy Sharpe and Nancy Jackson as well as Davis, Bebe Kleinman — CEO of Doctors Care — and Dr. Heather N Signorelli — a pathologist and vice president and chief laboratory officer for HCA Healthcare. Jennifer Ludwig, Tri-County’s deputy director, was named sole finalist for Arapahoe County’s health department’s executive director. Funding fallout pushed Arapahoe out The foundation for Tri-County’s demise was laid during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic when Douglas County leaders clashed with health officials over mandatory mask mandates. In July 2020, Douglas County commissioners announced plans to split from Tri-County and form a new health department. In September 2021, commissioners voted unanimously to do just that. A month later, Adams County leaders followed suit, pledging to create their own health department. As the final county standing, Arapahoe made the decision in December 2021 to break from the health department and form its own. While it’s been providing health services to the three counties during that time, Tri-County’s operations will cease Dec. 31, leaving health decisions in each county’s hands. Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said the situation is “not something that Arapahoe County actually wanted,” but — because of the financial fallout of losing two counties — had to be made. Still, county leaders said they see the benefits of moving towards their own health department. While shared funding between the three counties helped ease financial burdens, it also meant more targeted spending was less common, Sharpe

said. “I think this gives us an opportunity to look more specifically at the needs of Arapahoe County,” Sharpe said. Arapahoe County paid the most for Tri-County services of the three counties last year. According to a consulting firm’s report, Arapahoe County paid $4.8 million. Adams paid $3.8 million while Douglas paid $2.6 million. Sharpe said the county’s own health department will likely cost around $5 million per year, possibly even more. “We anticipate that it will be more, we just don’t know how much more at this point,” Sharpe said. Most of the department’s budget will come from federal and state funds, according to Sharpe, while the rest will be covered by the county and private entities, such as foundations. Some one-off money may be used from the county’s slice of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, a federal COVID-19 stimulus package. The county received $127.5 million in federal funds from the law, with money so far targeted towards housing, homelessness and mental health among other priorities. A budget has yet to be finalized, though Sharpe said she expects one soon following Ludwig’s expected confirmation as the department’s executive director. Ludwig was reached for comment but only provided a brief statement in which she said she is “honored to be named the finalist for the position.”

Tight timeline, staffing shortage presents obstacles The tight turnaround for Arapahoe County to set up its new department before Tri-County ends could cause a temporary gap in some services according to Tri-County’s executive director, Dr. John Douglas. “It’s a real possibility and it’s a real concern,” Douglas said. While the health department was thrust into the public spotlight for its role during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tri-County has been offering a slew of other services to county residents, including no-cost cancer screenings, overdose prevention, free nurse visits and restaurant and child care facility inspections. Those are services that Sharpe said county residents should expect to be offered through the county’s new department, but depending on staff and budget constraints, may not be at full capacity during the department’s early days. Douglas said internal polling has shown a vast majority of current TriCounty staff have shown interest in moving to one of the new county-run health departments and expressed optimism that there would be a significant carryover. But Tri-County itself has become thinner as more and more health care workers leave the field following stress and burnout from the pandemic. “Every place saw the great resignation going on, and we weren’t immune to that,” Douglas said of Tri-County. “Last year, we probably were running 30% to 40% more staff choosing to leave than previous years.” Sharpe said it “would be unrealistic” for Arapahoe County to be immune to labor shortages, but was hopeful the department’s salaries and benefits would be enough to hire and retain adequate staff. Also hovering over the county is a lawsuit from the Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association — or PERA — which alleges it is owed $50 million by Tri-County and the three counties. The state organization, which provides retirement and other benefits to employees of government agencies and public entities in Colorado, said Tri-County’s collapse jeopardizes the retirement benefits it promised employees. The lawsuit is still pending and Douglas said he would not comment on it beyond saying, “I do understand PERAs concern.” “We hope it’s going to get resolved and we do think a well-funded state employee pension program is important,” Douglas said.
A new way of looking at public health Despite the uncertainty ahead, Davis, the health care consultant and Arapahoe health board member, said he sees it as a new opportunity to address long-neglected inequities in public health. “The county as a whole really needs to be cognizant of the different needs of the population,” Davis said. Arapahoe County is diverse — about 40% of its population is people of color — and its demographics have faced compounding issues that traditional public health approaches have proved ill-equipped to serve, said Davis. Davis, who has worked with several nonprofit health care groups for more than a decade in Colorado, said health departments need to look beyond their own staff and partner with other entities, like housing and human services, to meet the needs of all county citizens. “You have housing, you have food security, you have social isolation,” Davis said, adding that most people’s health outcomes are influenced by their living environment, quality of life and access to care. Addressing mental health needs must also be a bigger priority, Davis said. “A lot of that we have to partner with therapists and community mental health centers, so some of that is slightly outside the public health system,” Davis said. “But all of those areas we’re planning on providing in Arapahoe County.” For Davis, the COVID-19 pandemic showed the shortcomings of public health messaging and the need to meet people where they are. “We in public health really didn’t do a good job of presenting the message in a way that the constituency understood,” Davis said. “The worst thing we want to do is create an environment where people think we’re doing things to them instead of in conjunction with them.” As a Black man, Davis knows the hesitancy and mistrust in Black communities around healthcare that has been cemented through decades of racist medical mistreatment, which has contributed to the racial gap in COVID vaccinations, Davis said. And as public health becomes more politically charged following the pandemic, Davis said it will be imperative for Arapahoe County’s new health department to hear all sides of a community. “I don’t think you’re going to keep politics out of health … I think we live in a totally different world now,” Davis said. Still, COVID-19 remains a “moving target,” Davis said. While he understands the fatigue many may feel, it will be the job of the health department to work with and communicate to communities about where the pandemic is headed, he said. But by reaching people where they are, be it at church or school, Davis said he is confident Arapahoe’s new health department can repair trust. “When communities are at the table I think the outcome is very different,” Davis said. The county will be hosting a telephone town hall July 7 at 6:30 p.m. to answer questions about the new health board and department. Citizens can go to tinyurl.com/ arapahoetownhall to submit questions in advance and to listen to the event.

Denver mayor has ‘no interest’ in Douglas County taking over Daniels Park Hancock says matter isn’t up for discussion BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a letter to Douglas County on Wednesday, Denver’s mayor said he has “no interest” in talking about transferring ownership of one of Denver’s parks to the county. Daniels Park, a Denver Mountain Park located inside Douglas County, is a 1,000-acre piece of land between Highlands Ranch and Castle Pines. Douglas County Commissioners George Teal and Abe Laydon recently directed the county’s legal staff to pursue ways to “bring Daniels Park into Douglas County ownership.” Commissioner Lora Thomas voted against the direction to legal staff. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock addressed his letter to Teal, saying the park is a treasured part of the city’s system and that the matter is not up for discussion. “Nor do I have any interest in perpetuating a flawed notion that there is any merit to the idea that Douglas County can exercise eminent domain authority to acquire a park owned by the people of Denver and protected by our charter because you disagree with an ordinance passed by the Denver City Council

and signed into law to promote public safety,” the letter said. In May, the Denver City Council approved an ordinance banning concealed firearms on city property, including parks. Teal has not responded to calls and texts from Colorado Community Media about the issue. Hancock also said he would not “undermine the will of our city council with respect to the ordinance.” Scott Gilmore, deputy director of the Denver Parks and Recreations Department, estimated the land would cost Douglas County at least half a billion dollars. Daniels Park, a sprawling piece of land given to the city nearly 100 years ago, has significance with Native American tribes in the area, many of whom have ceremonies on the land. The Tall Bull Memorial Ground is located in Daniels Park. The City of Denver has a longtime agreement with the Tall Bull Memorial Council to allow use of the park. The park is also known for its bison herd. “It is a point of pride for our community that we’re able to maintain and operate these open spaces for everyone in Denver, the region and across the state to access and enjoy — and to access and enjoy safely,” according to Hancock’s letter.

County Open Spaces in collaboration with the City of Centennial and Denver South Transportation Management Association. “A lot of people are just grateful that we’re here — grateful that we’re supporting the event,” Winn said. “We had a really good turnout today.” Bikers hungry for breakfast were in luck, as the station offered free breakfast burritos fromLittle Anita’s as well as pastries and coffee from the Mr. Kolache food truck. The station also featured bike mechanics from the Giant of Centennial bike shop, who were there to answer questions and fix problems. Sam Dale, the service manager of the bike shop, said the they worked on 20 to 30 bicycles throughout the morning, offering a beneficial service to participants. “A lot of the support usually involves getting out to a bike shop and paying some money,” Dale said. “That can be a turn off for a lot of people, so just to have that here, to have friendly faces in these booths, too, and a lot of free swag — it’s great.” Bicyclist Bill Palmer stopped at the station while heading down the Cherry Creek Regional Trail, a 40mile route that spans from Douglas County to Denver. A resident in unincorporated Arapahoe County, he was on his way to Parker. When asked how he knew about the Bike to Work Day station, he said, “I do it every year.” In addition to seasoned bikers like Palmer, Winn was also eager to see new and occasional bikers at the event. “It’s important because it gives people a taste of bike commuting,” Winn said, adding that biking can seem daunting and overwhelming to some. “It gives them that opportunity to try out commuting, and that’s the whole basis of it — to get people to do it outside of Bike to Work Day.” Commuting by bike is beneficial for many reasons, including mental and physical health, reducing
congestion on the roadways and to save money, Winn said. “It’s a lot cheaper to own and operate a bicycle than it is to own and operate a car,” he said. A target audience for Arapahoe County Open Spaces is people who are interested in biking but concerned about safety, Winn said, adding he wants to get those people feeling more comfortable and safe with biking. One tool Arapahoe County Open Spaces offers is its Explore Arapahoe County Bike and Trail Map, which helps people plan ahead and prepare for bike commutes. “Everything is organized by the bicycle facility type,” Winn said, explaining that routes on the map have labels for routes. “It’s all color coded on the map so they can figure out their level of comfort and then a route that coincides with their level of comfort.” The free map was updated last year, he said, so about 10% more trail was added. In Arapahoe County, there are more than 70 miles of interconnected trails, said Lizzie Mayer, the communications business partner for Arapahoe County Open Spaces. The trail system is possible because of the funding through the Arapahoe County Open Space Sales and Use Tax, she said, which was permanently reauthorized by voters last year. In addition to highlighting the county’s trail system, the event also offered a great opportunity for showcasing the Arapahoe Road Trailhead, Winn said. “Not a lot of people know about this trailhead,” Winn said, adding that people can park at the Arapahoe Road Trailhead and ride their bike along the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. “This was actually a collaboration with the City of Centennial, so it’s really to serve the City of Centennial’s residents.” Overall, the event brought together people of all ages and abilities, Winn said. “It’s so wonderful to see people out and enjoying our trail system,” Mayer said. “And I’m really proud that people look forward to coming to this specific Arapahoe County Open Spaces station.”

In heated real estate market, is it better to be a renter? Owning a home now costs $987 more per month BY BRAMMHI BALARAJAN AND MARVIS GUTIERREZ THE COLORADO SUN
Feel like there’s no chance you can buy a house? You may be better off renting anyway. With national average mortgage payments of $2,576.39, that’s above average rent of $1,589 in Colorado, according to ApartmentList. Owning a home now costs $987 more per month than renting. And while it’s overall better to rent right now with rising mortgage rates, some cities’ average rental prices are way above the rest. Superior, Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock are among the most expensive cities to live in for renters, with the average rent in Superior through May at $2,399, perhaps because many homes were burned or damaged by smoke in the Marshall fire. That’s $810 above Colorado’s average and $1,056 above the national average. In contrast, Greeley, Englewood and Colorado Springs are among the cities with the lowest rent prices. If you’re a renter in Denver, you might want to stay that way. Despite being one of the state’s hottest real estate markets, Denver is one of the least expensive cities in Colorado in

early 2021, eviction numbers have stayed below the 2019 numbers, prepandemic numbers and the 20-year average. March was the sole month, which saw a jump in eviction filings, with 3,667, in a return to pre-pandemic numbers. While evictions have been steadily increasing since the moratorium expired July 31, evictions declined in April and May, both in the Denver area and Colorado as a whole. Henry Eisler from the Colorado Apartment Association expressed confidence in the strength of the housing market, noting Coloradans have been able to make rent at high rates. “The uptick in March didn’t reflect a dramatic increase — just a return to the pre-pandemic, statewide average, as Colorado’s rental market recovered from the pandemic and 14-month moratorium,” Eisler said. “The subsequent decline in eviction filings during April and May is a strong positive indicator for the health of Colorado’s multifamily housing market.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Council approves site plan for 80-acre regional park Project a collaboration with South Suburban BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lone Tree City Council approved the final site plan of the 80-acre Lone Tree Regional Park, located east of I-25 and south of RidgeGate Parkway, during the June 20 regular meeting. “We’re really creating a really unique identifier for the community,” said Austin Good, Lone Tree’s assistant city manager. The park will be Lone Tree’s first regional park, and it will be located southeast of the RidgeGate Parkway and Peoria Street intersection. It is a collaborative effort by the City of Lone Tree and South Suburban Parks and Recreation. The board of directors for South Suburban Parks and Recreation previously approved the final site plan on June 8. The main concept for the plan, developed by landscape architect The Architerra Group, is called “The Braid.” The plan includes a variety of amenities such as a dog park, festival terrace, multi-level playground and walking paths that feature a variety of spaces, called activity rooms, that can accommodate different uses such as community gardens and community art walks. The 80-acre park is part of the large RidgeGate East development
on the east side of I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway, which involves also building a 400-acre Lone Tree City Center, commercial districts, schools and three residential villages. “It’s 80 acres — pretty substantial, [and] going to be a really big investment for the city, South Suburban and the whole community,” Good said. “And so, we’re likely going to have to break it into multiple phases, and this next phase of design development is where we’re going to be able to dive in to figure out what the priorities are for the front end, what might be able to wait for a phase two, and then, of course, identifying project funding partners,” he continued. During a study session on June 7, Good said phase one of the project is estimated to cost about $25 million. During the session, Mayor Jackie Millet said she is hopeful Douglas County will consider investing in the park, as it will be a regional amenity. South Suburban Parks and Recreation has budgeted $300,000 this calendar year for design development, Good said. The city is working within its internal departments to prioritize next steps, such as looking at traffic flow and parking lot sizes, as well as coordinating more with the infrastructure development, he said. Millet told Good it is important that pathways for pedestrians and bikers be considered in the mak-
ing of the park, saying she wants to make sure residents in nearby neighborhoods can walk into the park, that the park is connected to the existing trail system and there is a direct path for pedestrians and bikers from the west to east side. “The importance of connections cannot be overstated, and making sure we have those before everything gets built up around it, I think, is essential,” she said. “Let’s preserve those connections now while we can.” According to the resolution for the regional park site plan, the project is years away, but it’s been valuable to do planning work now so the park can integrate with the development of Lyric, a new neighborhood development by Shea Homes that is part of RidgeGate East, as well as the drainage project happening along Happy Canyon Creek. To help keep the community updated on the park’s progress, the city has created a webpage, CityofLoneTree.com/RegionalPark. Good said the webpage can help residents understand the planning and development process, the design elements of the park and the project’s next steps. “We’re also thinking this [webpage] is going to be a really great spot for when folks are looking to actually buy homes in the neighborhood that’s next to the park. We want to make sure that they know what they’re moving in next to,” Good said, adding there will be some

lit fields in the park that not everyone may want in their backyard. “And so it’s really, really important for us to make sure that we’re communicating that upfront.” Currently, South Suburban Parks and Recreation is doing a public outreach campaign for its overall master plan, and the regional park is included in that. When talking about the city’s public outreach process, Good said, “We’re probably gonna kick into even more overdrive to make sure that we’re doing a good job being stewards of putting this plan into action and making sure that it’s something that the community wants.” Those interested in learning more about the project or who want to leave a question or comment about the project can visit the project’s webpage: cityoflonetree.com/ regionalpark.

health departments. Arapahoe County’s case count is a noticeable decrease from the past four weeks, when seven-day rolling averages neared almost 2,000, approaching levels close to the county’s third-highest peak in November 2021. Case counts are still well below the record surge the county saw in January when the Omicron variant caused a peak seven-day rolling average of 8,621 cases for the week of Jan. 30., the most cases reported during the course of the pandemic. Still, current case counts are high enough — and hospital staffing low enough — to keep the county at a high community level for COVID based on CDC metrics, which rank counties as low, medium or high. According to the CDC, residents of counties with a high community level are encouraged to wear masks in public and to stay at home if feeling sick. But this won’t result in any mask mandates for Arapahoe County, according to Dr. John Douglas, TriCounty Health’s executive director. “We do think that we are beginning to experience a downturn,” Douglas said. “Although there are a couple caveats.” The rise of at-home testing could mean that people who are sick are not always reporting cases to the state’s health department, said Douglas, who added that case counts may be about 50% less accurate now compared to late December and early January. “We know that reported tests … is probably an undercount,” Douglas said, adding that hospitals are also not testing as regularly compared to other points of the pandemic. The ambiguity around the prevalence of the virus comes as the percentage of available staffed ICU beds in north-central Colorado hospitals falls below 10% — a critical benchmark — as of June 21. Counties defined as north-central are Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson.
SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
“Fortunately, death rates have gone down dramatically as vaccinations have been going on,” Douglas said, though he added Arapahoe County may see more hospitalizations following its rise in cases. Vaccinations remain a key line of defense against the virus, said Douglas. Everyone over the age of 5 is eligible to receive a booster shot once they have completed their primary vaccination, which includes receiving either one shot of the Johnson and Johnson (J&J) vaccine or two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine. Arapahoe County has a vaccination rate of 78.8%, which includes people aged 5 or older who have received at least one shot. “I keep hoping that some part of that unvaccinated group is going to decide (to get vaccinated),” Douglas said. “But I’m not holding my breath hoping we get a whole lot higher than 80%.” The CDC also recently cleared the way for Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for children who are 6 months to 5 years old after it received approval from the FDA. But the rollout has been slow and early national polling shows most parents are still hesitant to have their youngest children immediately vaccinated. A survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that fewer than one in five parents said they would have their child vaccinated as soon as they can. “I don’t think it’s going to be the tide-turner,” Douglas said of the vaccine’s impact on COVID trends. Along with vaccination, appropriate mask-wearing and treatment for those who are sick will be vital for mitigating COVID’s severity as Colorado, and much of the country, declare the virus “endemic.” And even as cases and deaths remain lower than past surges, the effects of long-COVID are beginning to reveal another aspect of the pandemic’s toll. Douglas said a recent CDC report found that between 20% and 25% of infected people will have symptoms for a month or longer. “More and more, people are understanding the fact that we’re going to be living with COVID for a long time,” Douglas said.

Wind Crest Pride honors memories, celebrates love 3rd annual parade is a success BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Highlands Ranch resident Jim Genasci started going to Pride events with his wife Jean in 1983, when their son Gary came out. For years, the Genascis traveled across all 50 states and Canada attending Pride parades and rallies. At all of them, Jean collected dozens of buttons. She wore her collection on a sash, and then, when the sash got full, on a cowboy hat. When Jean died about two years ago, Jim asked their longtime friend SJ Light to carry on the tradition of wearing the buttoncovered sash and cowboy hat to celebrate Pride. On June 23, Jim celebrated his 39th straight year of Pride with Light and over 100 more friends, families and neighbors at Wind Crest’s 3rd annual parade. “I haven’t missed one yet,” Jim said. Light sported the sash and cowboy hat for the parade through the Wind Crest neighborhood and during the afternoon rootbeer float social in honor of her friend. “I feel that I’m representing Jean in the parade so that even though she’s passed on, she still gets to be in a Pride parade every year, which I know would mean a lot to her,” Light said. “I plan to keep doing it as long as I can.” Wind Crest’s Pride parade was started by residents and staff on the Diversity Inclusion and Belonging Committees and the Resident Advisory Council. In its third year, the event is popular at Wind Crest, drawing multiple generations to celebrate love and acceptance. Wind Crest Associate Executive Director Kathy Dilger said part of the living facility’s mission is to promote acceptance and applaud diversity. “Having a seat at the table, hav-

s a child, I grew to hate road trips. My parents did not like flying anywhere, which meant any family trip was by car. I hated it. I’m talking about trips that would make the original “National Lampoon’s Family Vacation” look functional. Three older brothers, parents and long trips to go visit our version of Cousin Eddie. That led to me hating the thought of FROM THE road trips as an adult. If I can fly, I will be willing to go. Someone says drive — EDITOR and I’m out. Then, we get to this summer. With the economy being what it is and being short of time because, let’s face it, parenting seems to revolve around running a kids’ taxi service, I have had to reconsider my hatred of long car rides. Most summers we will visit an aunt in Orlando and brother in PennsylvaThelma Grimes nia and my daughter’s biological sister in Oregon. This year, flight costs being what they are, that’s just not feasible. That led to me looking at what else we could do. My parents said they liked the idea of taking a trip with my children and me to South Dakota. After looking at calendars and trying to figure it out, we went on a spur-of-the-moment-type trip to the Black Hills. Getting up early to pack in a family of eight — my children, my parents and a nephew and niece. At 5:30 a.m. with everyone inside the Expedition, I fixed the rearview mirror, seeing all the faces staring up front. The memories of childhood car trips came flooding back. I dreaded putting that car in reverse and starting the trek. Fast forward six hours of actual quiet driving and we made it to the city where the famous Mount Rushmore sits. The trip was fantastic. My kids love farms. We went to the little farm in nearby Keystone three times, letting my kids hold baby goats, feed orphaned calves and run from the older goats wanting food. We saw the mountain. I will tell you my 5-year-old was not overly impressed. The farm was his thing. We saw all the sights and had a blast. Driving home, again in a quiet car, I realized a few things. Today’s kids have tablets and phones and keep their heads down most of the trip. Separating the kids who fight the most was also good planning on my part. The family time I got with my mom, dad, kids and brother’s children was worth every minute. In our busy lives, we tend to forget the value of taking some time to relax at something as simple as what I would call a very large petting zoo. We forget the value of walking with your kids down a tourist town’s main street to look at a variety of items, joke, eat ice cream and have quality time together without talking about schedules, chores and all that day-today home stuff. Will I go on another road trip? I won’t say I loved the gas and food prices on the trip (although still lower than plane tickets). However, I will say six hours in a car with family is no longer going to be a phobia. I can see me doing it again, and instead of dread as I hit reverse, there will likely be a lot more optimism.

he five most sought-after words in amateur golf are, “That’s good, pick it up.” We say that to our playing partner when the putt that is left is considered short enough to call it “good.” Sometimes the length of the putt left to make comes into question, especially when someone is not playing so well that day and their friends show a little mercy on them. Luckily, I have been the one receiving that mercy lately. There are times when the player actually needing to make the putt decides that they have had enough already and do one of two things: They either pick it up themselves or they take a casual approach and putt it toward the hole, indicating that he or she felt that it was good and the last attempt at the putt was close enough for the gimme. There may be gimmes in amateur golf or even in the PGA during match play, but when it comes to life, most times we aren’t finished yet. We still have work to do, projects to finish, contributions to make, our family and friends to love. No, we are still a long way from being finished yet. No matter where we started, the detours we have taken, the long roads we have journeyed, and even the many mistakes we have made, there is still time to get it right and finish what was once started by us, in us, or for us. There’s a great song by Brandon Heath called “Wait and See.” And in this song, he sings the lyrics, “He’s not finished with me yet,” as he refers to God’s plan and purpose for his life. And if we listen to the song or even just find the lyrics, I encourage us to reflect on what those lyrics could mean in our own life. I remember speaking with my great aunt

over the past few years as she was approaching 90, and she would say that she wished somedays that the Lord would just take her. And I would remind her that, “He’s not finished with you yet.” My great aunt was living in an assisted living facility, and really didn’t have a lot of mobility left in her tired legs. As residents came and Michael Norton went, she became saddened by their departure. It was during one of those calls where she just wanted to go to heaven and be with my great uncle. So, I said it to her again, “He’s not finished with you yet.” During our call the following week, my great aunt’s tonality was one of optimism and happiness. A new resident had moved in, and she didn’t have any family left to visit her. My great aunt befriended her and even though struggled with her own mobility, she made it a point to spend time and listen to her new friend’s life story and journey. They went to the dining hall together, and each time I would call her, she would tell me more about her new friend and the life she led. My great aunt and uncle lived with awesome faith and purpose. He served our country for 20 years in the Air Force and had been stationed around the world at different times. Most times she moved with him and supported him. She felt serving God and her husband was her greatest purpose. And now, nearing 90, she found a new purpose.

SBA helps with disaster recovery
C
olorado is no stranger to disasters, both natural and man-made. The state has a long history of natural disasters including flooding, wildfires, tornadoes and drought. The recent Marshall Fire in Boulder County is an example of this problem. It is more important now for residents and small businesses to remember that the best course of action to limit damage from natural disasters is preparing before the disaster hits. The Biden administration and SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman have been at the forefront of ensuring that small businesses and nonprofits, as well as individual homeowners and renters, impacted by natural disasters around the nation have the support and recovery relief that they need, and the tools to build resilience. Natural disasters are not just more devastating; they are also coming faster, more frequently, and are often rapidly changing in their complexity and scope. In 2020, the United States suf-
fered 22 separate billion-dollar disasters — the most in our history — but experts in the space expect that number to continue to climb. As the anchors of our communities, small businesses rely on resilient Aikta Marcoulier neighborhoods for their customers and their employees, and the SBA’s disaster relief loan programs help communities recover swiftly. • SBA’s disaster loan program is the only federal assistance program that provides private property owners an affordable way to mitigate disaster impacts and protect their homes, families, businesses, employees, and livelihoods against the next disaster. • SBA disaster loan funds can be used to cover insurance deductibles, refinance an existing mortgage, pay for mitigation and protective upgrades, relocate to a safer and lower-risk area, and

more. These loans have fixed interest rates amortized over 30 years for low monthly payments and offer an affordable way for property owners to fully repair/ replace their disaster losses not covered by other resources. • Borrowers using SBA’s physical disaster loan programs are also eligible for up to 20% of their total physical losses, as verified by SBA, to incorporate additional protective measures to mitigate future damage and losses against the next disaster. • SBA offers non-pandemic-related economic injury disaster loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, and most private nonprofit organizations located in a declared disaster area rebuild after suffering a substantial loss. • The SBA has several local resource partners to assist business owners develop a disaster continuity plan — whether your business is in the relief, recovery, or continuity phase. In Colorado, we have multiple resource partners statewide including Small
Business Development Centers, SCORE, a Veteran Business Outreach Center, and a Women’s Business Center to assist you with your disaster planning. The best way to mitigate the effects of a disaster is to create a disaster continuity plan. This plan should discuss how you will contact family, friends, employees and first responders following a disaster. You should also review your insurance coverage to make sure it is current and covers all necessary costs. Most importantly, practice and evaluate your plan with family members, managers, and staff to make sure it works.

Dark tales from sunny Denver ‘Denver Noir’ is collection of 14 stories by local authors BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Denver Noir,” edited by local author Cynthia Swanson, strikes me as a spot-on-perfect candidate to carry out to the back yard comfy chair, along with a cold lemonade — or to tuck in a suitcase if you’re traveling this summer. Recently published by Akashic Books, which has made a specialty of regional noir tales, it contains 14 new stories by Denver authors, many of whom we’ve met and enjoyed before. Style, types of characters, locations around our city and flavor in general may vary, but each tale is a separate unit, designed to distract the reader for a short spell ... or one can consume several in
a row and feel like one has been on a little expedition. Different characters, different site, different mood. Swanson mentions the uniqueness of Denver’s Colfax Avenue, which stretches 26 miles from Aurora to Golden and appears in several stories, starting with David Heska Wanbli Weiden’s “Colfax and Havana.” I’m still feeling spooked by Swanson’s “Pieces of Everyone, Everywhere.” The land in Cheesman Park was originally City Cemetery and when Mayor Robert Speer decided to turn it into a park for a premium surrounding housing area, most bodies were moved to Riverside Cemetery, in new, smallish caskets made for the occasion. People answered an ad that promised 25 cents for each body you dug up ... Swanson describes the scene as she imagines it.

Graphic novelist and teacher R. Alan Brooks contributed “A Baker’s Duckling” while Denver novelist Peter Heller, who lives by Sloan’s Lake, contributed the rather creepy “The Lake.” Mark Stevens’ “Junk Feed” has more the sound and feel of a contemporary cop story on TV. Chop! Chop! Mario Acevedo’s “El Armero” starts around the Mousetrap and Elyria-Swansea and walks us north, meeting several disturbed veterans and other characters — not a happy scene at all, but one can indeed picture his scenes through the details--in dismantling a gun, for instance--or repairing one... This collection offers a nice variety of style, word choice, conversations, city scenes and of course, story outcomes. And a reader may very well be inclined to look for books by one or more of these local writers.

Day of Service offers help to residents in need 50 volunteers take action in annual event BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After Virginia Keller had to get a metal rod placed in her right leg following a bad fall in 2016, moving around and doing yard work became more difficult. Her backyard became like a jungle, she said, and her front walkway needed replacing. Thankfully, help arrived June 18 during Englewood’s Day of Service, as volunteers gathered to assist community members like 79-year-old Keller. “It is just marvelous that people will volunteer and help the older people,” Keller said. “A lot of people could benefit from helping each other, even just next-door neighbors.” Englewood’s annual day of service, also referred to as the“Be a Tool” service event, began in 2016 after a coalition of churches met with the city manager and decided to host an annual day of service in collaboration with the nonprofit Neighborhood Rehab Project, said Joe Anderson, the lead coordinator in Englewood for the Neighborhood Rehab Project and the city council member representing District 3 in Englewood. “The goal, as set down by the nonprofit which originated in Golden, was to assist low-income and elderly homeowners with their safe, warm, dry needs, primarily,” said Ryan Bramlett, a coordinator in Englewood for the Neighborhood Rehab Project, explaining that most projects are outdoor home repairs and maintenance work. Keller’s home was one of five projects for the day. A group of about 50 volunteers arrived early June 18 at Englewood’s Rotolo Park and were split among the five projects, all located near the park. “I think the purpose is to get neighbors connected with their neighbors,” Anderson said about the day. “It’s got a real collaborative purpose, and so we have had businesses, churches, nonprofits and the city government all involved in this since it started in 2016.” Keller met Anderson through attending church, she said, and this year was the second time she got assistance through the day of service.
Joe Anderson is the lead coordinator in Englewood for the Neighborhood Rehab Project and a city council member of PHOTOS BY TAYLER SHAW District 3 in Englewood.
During the first experience, which was two or three years ago, she had asked for her front walkway to be replaced, Anderson said, but they weren’t able to get to it. This year, it was one of the main priorities, in addition to working on removing overgrown weeds in the backyard. “It’s just wonderful to see what gets changed and transformed, and appreciate it,” Keller said. “I’ve always enjoyed Englewood’s community of people. They seem to care about each other.” Keller first moved into her Englewood home when she was a child in 1946. She moved out in 1964, only to return to it in 2005. Her daughter, Marva Jolly, was among the volunteers working to remove weeds in the backyard. “This is great,” said Jolly, who lived in Englewood for about 28 years and has volunteered for the day of service event in years past. “If we all just pitch in a little bit here and there — makes it a lot easier for everybody.” Bev Maes, an Englewood resident who has lived in the area since she was about 12, found out about the day of service through the Nextdoor social-media platform. She said it’s the perfect opportunity for people to jump in and help others. “I think, to give people something to give themselves to is really important,” Maes said. “You get the reward of, ‘I feel like I helped make my city a better place to live.’” Maes was assigned to the home of Kayleen Nichols, a 77-year-old woman whose husband, Edd, recently passed away in April. Some of the tasks at Nichols’ house

included scraping off the old paint on her shed to prepare it for new paint, installing a shed door and pulling weeds. Nichols didn’t expect to have her home be one of the projects for the service day. In fact, when she saw a flyer on her door about the upcoming event, she had asked Anderson, whom she knew through her son, if the event needed donations. Knowing Nichols has had a rough year, Anderson asked her if she needed things done at her home. Nichols realized some things that did need to be repaired, and she was added to the list. “You look at something broken for so long, you don’t see it anymore,” Nichols said about realizing problems on her property. When asked how it felt to have volunteers working in her yard, she said, “It’s really exciting.” Nichols was with her husband for nearly 54 years, she said. Edd was a teacher for about 22 years at a Christian school, primarily teaching Bible and history to middle school students. One of her favorite memories of Edd was watching him teach during the camping field trips he’d take students on. “To watch him interact with the kids, it was just — it was wonderful, and he just loved it,” Nichols said. In 2018, Edd was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Nichols said, though she suspects he had it years before his official diagnosis. “He passed the Wednesday before Easter,” Nichols said. “He’s in heav-
en.” Faith was a connector of numerous volunteers to the day of service. Charles Wooldridge, a painter and sculptor, heard about the volunteer opportunity from Anderson, who is in his men’s Bible study group. Joshua Regan, a locksmith, got involved in the day of service through his church, Sanctuary Christian Fellowship. Other volunteers, like Casey Davis, heard about the event through the city. Davis, who had been searching for volunteer opportunities to help the community, learned about the day of service through the city newsletter. Wooldridge, Regan and Davis all worked together, along with the help of others, to remove Virginia Keller’s front walkway and pave the way for a new one. At the end of the day, Anderson said he hopes that the volunteers gained a sense of connection to the Englewood community and the joy of giving back. “I think a community can be measured by how much they value the people who are the most in need, and we help elderly, low-income and disabled homeowners,” he said. “We want to lift the people who [are] on the bottom up as much as we can. And I think that really transforms not just the people who volunteer, but the community as [a] whole.” Englewood’s next day of service will be Sept. 10.

Commissioners pivot on homelessness approach Teal says he no longer wants shelters BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After a June 22 town hall where residents expressed frustration with homeless shelters planned in the community, Douglas County commissioners indicated they will change their approach. Commissioner George Teal, who previously voted to approve a plan to buy temporary, moveable structures, said he was no longer interested in the purchase but was willing to pursue other options. “I do think that there is a solution there that we should push for,” Teal said. “We shouldn’t have to live with unhoused people in our community when we all spend a lot of money having houses ourselves.” Teal’s comments came after a 90-minute meeting where many residents said they thought a shelter would exacerbate homelessness in the county. While two of the three commissioners had approved the “pallet” structures — modeled after a program in Aurora — a location for them has not yet been approved. A county spokesperson said the final vote to approve the purchase of the pallets was removed from this week’s agenda. There were tense moments throughout the town hall as audience mem-

bers frequently shouted out, interrupting speakers and arguing with the panel members. “We are going to destroy the essence of Douglas County. Douglas County is not Denver,” said resident Mike Campbell. Commissioner Abe Laydon — who voted in favor of the pallets — has said he did so because a shelter is needed for law enforcement to enforce camping restrictions. “My goal as one commissioner is to make sure there is not one single homeless individual or panhandler on any intersection or any median in this entire county,” Laydon said. Laydon added that he doesn’t want a “tent city” in Douglas County. Attendees challenged the idea that a

shelter was needed, asking for specifics on what law required the move and encouraging the commissioners to try to change any law that does so. Laydon and others have referenced People vs. Wiemold, a district court case out of Fort Collins where a judge ruled a man couldn’t be cited for violating a camping ban because there was no shelter available to him. “It’s a legal trend, essentially you can’t criminalize homelessness,” said Amy Edwards, senior assistant county attorney. “It’s not a choice unless there is a bed available and they choose not to go to the bed when they’re asked to move along.” Some residents made comments that those experiencing homelessness are doing so by choice. In response, Kevin

Duffy, chief deputy of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said his office has seen a rise in women experiencing homelessness as they flee domestic violence. “That’s not a choice, they’re not drug addicts, they’re not thieves, they’re escaping abuse” he said. “And the only place they can stay where they’re safe is in a car.” Earlier this year, the county formed its homeless initiative to explore ways to approach the growing local issue. Since then, commissioners have funded a specific officer who can help residents leaving the jail get back to public transportation systems; a Homeless Engagement Assistance and Resource Team, or HEART, which pairs law enforcement officers with case managers to confront and offer services to unhoused people; and an Aurora GOALS program that will allow a few homeless families to find temporary shelter. The commissioners have also said they are planning a signage and public information campaign telling residents about the HEART team and encouraging them not to give money to panhandlers or people who appear homeless. Commissioner Lora Thomas, who voted against the plan to buy the pallets, reiterated her stance during the meeting, saying she wants to see how the existing programs impact the issue. “Let’s see what we have in place, how it’s working and then work together from there,” she said.

Parker cyclists stop for doughnuts on bike-to-work day BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
About 100 cyclists participating in bike-to-work day in Parker paused for doughnuts on their commute June 22. A breakfast station, hosted for the first time by the E-470 Public Highway Authority, was located on the E-470 trail at Chambers Road. The highway authority hosted the event in hopes of teaching bikers about their agency and the regional trail system. E-470 has built about 13 miles of the High Plains Trail, which runs adjacent to the road and connects to Cherry Creek, Piney Creek, Happy Canyon and C-470 trails, according to the agency news release. Those who stopped at the station had a chance to guess how many candies were in a jar with the winner selecting their favorite nonprofit for a donation. E-470 is a 47-mile beltway around the east Denver metro area from Douglas County to Adams County. It is primarily funded by tolls.

Summer baseball gets clubby C R O S S W O R D P U Z Z L E

contributors at the high school.” Summer baseball can be expensive, especially for teams that travel. Time magazine wrote an article a few years ago that said youth sports was a $15.3 billion industry with all the coaching, travel and apps included. It could cost around $3,000 a season to play summer baseball depending on the organization and team. “It’s expensive and they travel a lot too,” added Johnson. “In the old days, it took everything you could do to get guys to play.” Jenkins added, “We preach academics, good citizenship and we also preach getting better at what you are paying money for, which is baseball.” The Slammers are one of several baseball clubs in the south metro area. Some of the others are Gameday Baseball in Parker, USA Prime Baseball in Littleton, Lighting Baseball in Parker and Line Drive Baseball in Castle Rock. “It is what it is,” said Johnson. “It’s changed a lot. It’s more club baseball than it is school baseball. The only thing the schools have any advantage now is we have the fields.”

Summer baseball in Colorado for players of high school age is still the same but in some ways very different. That might sound contradictory, but it is not. Development is still the main reason why young athletes spend their summers playing baseball. However, many players are not playing with their high school teammates, but rather joining club teams or organizations that on many occasions travel to out-of-state tournaments. “Everybody played for their high schools back in the day but nobody hardly does now,” said Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson. “We’re one of the few high school teams around the state in the summer. Most kids play at the club level. “The teams are better now. They are better than the high school teams because they get the better kids out of each high school.” Most summer baseball divides the players into age groups from U9 to U18. The Slammers team has two locations. The south facility is in Arapahoe County and the north is in Broomfield. Development and instruction remains the main reason for playing summer baseball. “Our facilities are for 8-year-olds to 14,” said Jeff Jenkins, the Slammers GM.“We’re just a training facility. We also coach and train high school teams. “Winning is a byproduct of development. But what changed the landscape is not facilities, travel and all that, it was the parents and the kids. “Parents think their kids can play in the MLB when they are five years old. Crazy stuff. Dad coaches don’t understand how difficult it is to get into college or the major leagues. Our philosophy here is just we want to make better ball players that can be varsity
