NewClinic COVID-19begins restrictions will prohibitlegal indoorhelp dining,for personal gatherings advising patients Salud offering help evictions, deportations, other legal woes BY JAKOB RODGERS KAISER HEALTH NEWS
COMMERCE CITY— In her 19 years of living with cerebral palsy, scoliosis and other ailments, Cynthia Enriquez De Santiago has endured about 60 surgeries and her heart has flatlined at least four times. But the most unusual doctor’s referral of her life came last year: Go see an attorney. Enriquez De Santiago sought help at a Colorado health clinic that takes a novel approach to improving the health of its patients: It incorporates legal assistance into its medical practice for patients facing eviction or deportation proceedings, among other legal woes. And the state’s Medicaid program helps fund the initiative. Although Medicaid traditionMarc Scanlon and Bea Garrity offer legal advice at Salud Family Health Centers’ Comally doesn’t fund clinics to supply merce City, Colorado, clinic, one of more than 450 medical-legal partnerships nationlegal assistance, Colorado is one COURTESY PHOTO wide. of several states that have been helped persuade a primary care asgiven permission to use some of ships across the nation that typitheir Medicaid money to help pay cally serve impoverished people and sociation, the state’s legal aid organization and six community health for such programs.

the example of a child suffering from asthma caused by mold in a dilapidated apartment. While a doctor couldn’t force a landlord to clean up the property or break the lease, a letter from a lawyer might be persuasive, said Dr. Tillman Farley, Salud’s chief medical officer. “Some of these impacts carry out for decades,” Farley said. “And once you get into effects like that, then you’re really talking generational changes in health outcomes.” Beyond common sense, evidence from emerging research suggests the approach can work. Patients at Veterans Affairs clinics in Connecticut and New York, for example, saw their mental health improve significantly within three months of consulting a clinic attorney, according to a 2017 study in Health Affairs. And at Colorado’s partnership, a survey of patients from 2015 to 2020 found statistically significant drops in stress and poor physical health, as well as fewer missed medical appointments among its 69 respondents, said Dr. Angela Sauaia, a professor at the Colorado School of Public Health who led the research. The possible reasons for missing fewer doctor appointments after getting the legal help, Sauaia said, included patients having more income, being less depressed and having an improved immigration status that made them less fearful to venture into public. Medical-legal partnerships should be considered part of health care, Sauaia believes. “You should be referring to them the same way a provider be referring a patient countywould is required to follow based on theto aseverity specialty, such aslocal endocrinology of a county’s virus spread.or surgery.” The dialbiggest grew out of the state’s The challenge forsafer-atthese home orderis —securing the policystable that came after programs fundthe statewide stay-at-home order this ing.

County launches work on veterans memorial Mann-Nyholt Lake to be site for memorial, battleship pier BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A new veterans memorial being built in Adams County’s Riverdale Regional Park will feature a fishing pier built to resemble the battleship U.S.S. Colorado, county officials said. “To have our third of July fireworks presented over such an incredible monument,” County Commissioner Chaz Tedesco said. “This will be the biggest memorial in Colorado and it’s my hope through the Board of County Commissioners that it will continue to grow and include all the military services. We have plenty of land, plenty of drive to do it and our commissioners are dedicated to getting this done.” County employees joined local dignitaries on the banks of the Mann-Nyholt Lake on Sept. 8 to celebrate and break ground on the new veterans memorial, due to be open in late summer 2022. “A memorial is built for the living, but to remember those that passed,” Tedesco said. “The memorial is here to recognize those that gave the ultimate sacrifice, that of their life. This memorial should be a place of somber remembrance, excitement

and exuberance for those that want to pass into military service. To remember and honors those people is a way to serve again.” When finished, the memorial will be a life-sized model of the battleship U.S.S. Colorado, with the bow jutting into the lake and the current trail passing through the site. It will be surrounded by trails, memorial plaques and places to sit. Michael Jenet, chair of the county’s Veterans Advisory Board, said the memorial was one of the first tasks his group began working on when commissioners created it three years ago. He said the group visited similar memorials across the country with the goal of encouraging honor and attention to detail. “We wanted to create something where people could come and enjoy

the space,” Jenet said. “Whether it’s fishing off the bow of the ship or having a picnic or sitting in the amphitheater and looking over the water watching the fireworks. And I think if you look at the images of the plan, we accomplished that goal.” The Veterans Memorial is the latest addition to the expansion of Riverdale Regional Park, which now includes the Adams County Fairgrounds, Waymire Dome, and the recently opened Riverdale Animal Shelter, with more amenities planned for the future. “I know that all of you will join us here in about a year to celebrate a truly fitting memorial, one that will offer a proper tribute to every generation of Americans that served and sacrificed for our community,” County Manager Ray-

mond Gonzales said. Other speakers at the ceremony included U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter and U.S. Rep. Jason Crow. Crow said he knows how important a memorial is for soldiers as well as their families. While working in Washington, he regularly visits the Vietnam Wall and memorial and sees people gathered there. “I see families, I see veterans there with their sons and daughters and grandchildren telling the stories of their brothers and sisters on that wall,” Crow said. “Having a place to come and reflect and heal and tell those stories remains incredibly important. That’s what this is about and why I’m so honored to be here and to help break this hallowed ground.”

Arapahoe, Adams look at whether to exit Tri-County Health BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Following news that Douglas County could form its own health department soon, Arapahoe County confirmed that Arapahoe and Adams counties have also been contemplating splitting away from Tri-County Health Department in its current form. By October, commissioners in both Arapahoe and Adams counties will be provided with findings from a transition team to inform a decision on a new structure for public health services, according to a statement from Arapahoe County. Both Arapahoe and Adams County have been a part of TriCounty Health since the agency was founded in 1948. Consultants are examining the scenarios of a two-county health agency or creating single-county health departments, said Luc Hatlestad, spokesperson for Arapahoe County. “We set this up in the spring (or) summer,” Hatlestad said, adding that the study was initiated once it became clear that Douglas wasn’t going to stick with Tri-County Health. Douglas County’s consideration of leaving the agency -- which at press time was to come up for action on Sept. 7 -- came amid a rift with Tri-County Health over the agency’s pandemic safety policies and its decision not to let counties opt them-

But Douglas County commissioners back in July 2020 announced they would eventually leave TriCounty Health, citing a wish for more local control over public health orders. That plan was put on hold under an agreement with Tri-County allowing counties to opt out of public-health orders. But the agency’s board voted on Aug. 30 to no longer allow opt-outs. An Arapahoe County spokesperson emphasized that the county’s consideration of leaving Tri-County Health isn’t because of disagreement with the health agency. “We began looking at other public health agency options after Douglas announced its intentions to leave Tri-County last year,” Hatlestad said. “We did not initiate this because of any dissatisfaction with Tri-County — we’ve actually worked extremely well with them since the beginning of the pandemic.” Douglas County exiting the health

agency would potentially create financial or budgetary problems for the other two counties, Hatlestad added. Tri-County Health has been working with Adams and Arapahoe counties over the past several months to develop a transition plan, Hatlestad said earlier. Since the process began, Adams and Arapahoe started to include the possibility of singlecounty public health agencies in the process. Meanwhile, Arapahoe County
Attorney Ronald Carl, in a Sept. 3 letter to his Douglas County counterpart, Lance Ingalls, said Arapahoe County was considering possible legal action if Douglas County “chooses to proceed” with its withdrawal plans, citing the “suddenness of this planned action” and that state law requires a oneyear notification before a county can pull out of Tri-County. The letter was disclosed by Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas in a Sept. 5 email to constituents.

states have increasingly sought to use Medicaid dollars to fund initiatives such as using social workers or offering legal assistance to address the social determinants of health. That includes North Carolina, which is using a federal waiver and hundreds of millions of dollars in a highly scrutinized effort to transform its Medicaid program.

New district map draws criticism Residents from all over the state weigh in on latest Congressional Redistricting Commission map proposal BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Colorado Independent Redistricting Commission held a virtual meeting with the option for in person testimony available at a site in Thornton on Sept. 10, drawing feedback from residents across the state on the latest proposed Congressional District maps. The new maps – the Commission’s first plan based on 2020 census data – are the latest in the Commission’s race to present a finalized proposal to the Colo. Supreme Court by the Sept. 28 deadline. Another iteration of the map could be released on Sept. 15, and a third on Sept. 23 if needed. Residents from Westminster weighed in at the virtual meeting, expressing their desire to keep the municipality in one singular Congressional District. Luis Corchato, a Westminster resident, disagreed with the Commission’s proposal to divide the city by Adams County and Jefferson County lines. “Westminster is the eighth largest city in Colorado,” said Corchato.
The latest draft map from Colorado’s congressional redistricting commission, released Sept. 3, would place almost all of Douglas COURTESY OF COLORADO INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING COMMISSIONS County in the 4th Congressional District.
“It’s a home rule city, its council voted in at large, and dividing it between 45,000 people and 71,000 people just devastates Westminster’s ability to negotiate with the representative. And so, I respectfully ask that you keep Westminster whole.” Kevin Allen, also a Westminster resident, proposed that the city be kept whole and included in the newly formed Eighth Congressional District. “I will say that I do prefer West-
minster to be kept whole and would recommend that Westminster be put fully into the Eighth Congressional District,” said Allen. Others objected to Fort Collins’ exclusion from the rest of Larimer County, arguing that the county seat does not have much in common with the surrounding rural areas. “It does not make sense to put people who live in the western side of rural Colorado and the southern part of rural Colorado together with
groups like people from Boulder and Fort Collins,” said Jason Dokken, a Mead resident. “It makes absolutely zero sense at all.” Ruth Long was more animated, arguing the Fort Collins’ educational bent sets it apart from its rural neighbors. “The Fourth Congressional District and the Eastern plains is primarily rural agricultural and SEE DISTRICT MAP, P7

Deputies find missing car but not theft suspects STAFF REPORT
Weld County sheriff’s deputies found a missing 1967 Plymouth Valiant that was among several items taken from a home north of Fort Lupton. However, the search for the suspects continued. The car turned up in Arvada early Sept. 9. The theft happened shortly after
midnight Sept. 5 in the 10400 block of Weld County Road 6. A press statement said neighbors noticed a flatbed truck on the property and lights on in a detached garage. The press statement from sheriff’s office spokesman Joe Moylan said the neighbors were suspicious because the homeowners were out of town. The statement said the neighbors drove onto the property, looked in
the garage and saw two men trying to steal a pair of 1960s-model Chevrolet Corvettes. Neighbors tried to follow the suspects but got as far as U.S. Highway 85 and Weld County Road 2 before losing sight. Moylan said the suspects didn’t take the Corvettes but managed to steal several high-dollar items, according to deputies, including the 1967 Plymouth Valiant that
belonged to the son of the homeowners. “In addition to the Valiant and other high-dollar items, the suspects stole 500 rounds of .308 ammunition,” Moylan said. “Deputies, therefore, assume the suspects are armed and dangerous.” Moylan urged the public not to confront the suspects and, instead, call 911. Call 970-400-4547.
State had no fatal crashes over Labor Day weekend, CDOT reports STAFF REPORT
Colorado normally sees several highway deaths over the long Labor Day weekend each year, but not this year, the Colorado Department of Transportation reports. According to preliminary CDOT data released Sept. 9, the state avoided any fatal crashes this year over the final holiday weekend of the summer. “This marks the first time in recent history that no deaths occurred on state roads over Labor Day weekend,” a CDOT release said.
DISTRICT MAP
That’s despite the fact that Labor Day weekend is usually one of the deadliest holiday periods of the year on Colorado roads. Over the last 15 years, Labor Day weekend road fatalities have ranged from three in 2022 to 16 in 2016, CDOT said. Overall, there were 412 traffic fatalities on Colorado roads at the time of CDOT’s Sept. 9 report, a 6% decrease from this time last year. Of those, 153 were related to impaired driving, the Colorado State Patrol reported. For 15 years of CDOT statistics on fatal holiday crashes across Colorado, go online to tinyurl.com/HolidayFatalCrashes.
Gil Reyes, a Northglenn resident, expressed concerns about Hispanic Latino representation in the new proposed maps. “I was pleased with the (initially) proposed FROM PAGE 6 Eighth Congressional District,” said Reyes. “It contained an area that included a good portion of has the highest oil and gas production in the the population centers of Adams and Weld Counstate,” said Long. “Fort Collins is primarily in ties. The Hispanic Latino population would be the foothills and home to high tech companies well represented, including the eastern portions and a top-tier research university and a highly of Greeley. However, I read in the Colorado Sun educated population.

Fourth Congressional District. “Historically, the eastern portion of Greeley has not been well represented by the representatives of the Fourth Congressional District,” Reyes continued. “I would ask the commission to approve the (initial) proposed Eighth Congressional District as constructed in the proposed map, as it would allow the Hispanic residents and east Greeley to and the rest of the Eighth Congressional district to finally have responsive representation in Congress.” The first elections under the new districts will be in 2022.

Huskies get the better of the ThunderHawks BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
HENDERSON – Tim Cardenas knew the early schedule was going to be challenging for the Prairie View football team, and he is hoping the challenge will help in the long run. The biggest test, by far, was Sept. 10, as the ThunderHawks fell to a talented Douglas County team on 4819 to drop to 0-3 on the season. DCHS is ranked No. 7 in the state in the RPI standings, and Prairie View’s opponents have had a combined 6-3 record. The schedule doesn’t get easier as PVHS hosts Fairview (2-1) Sept. 17. “We have a very tough non-league, and that’s what we wanted,” Cardenas said. “We want to finish strong when we get into league and get into the playoffs.” The ThunderHawks played the Huskies tough but couldn’t find an answer for Douglas County’s multitalented quarterback, Antwaun ‘AJ’ Jackson. The 6-foot-1-inch senior threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more. He also anchored the Huskies defense too. “Douglas County is a really good team,” the coach said. “They are the fastest team we have seen so far. We didn’t play very well defensively. We had some moments on offense, but we need to be more disciplined.” Justin Martinez Jr. gave Prairie View an early 6-3 advantage after returning a kickoff 92-yards for a touchdown. Prairie View added another score on its opening drive of the second half when Caleb Thatcher connected with Eliah Padilla on a 28-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 27-12. Thatcher scored the final touchdown for Prairie View on a quarterback sneak in the fourth quarter. Running back Larenz Lovelance continued to show his game-breaking skills. He broke loose for a couple of big runs, picking up a 42-yard run in the first half and

then added a 35-yard run. His big runs set up a potential score for the ThunderHawks in the second quarter, but Thatcher’s pass was intercepted by Douglas County in the end zone. The Huskies’ offense was just too much for Prairie View. Even when the ThunderHawks got stops Douglas County turned to kicker Tanner Rinker for points. Rinker connected on a pair of field goals. Prairie View opens league play Friday, Oct. 1, against the Far Northeast Warriors.
