New COVID-19 restrictions will prohibit dining, personal gatherings Ozone worsens along Frontindoor Range; answers elusive ‘Other areas don’t violate standards like we do’ BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN
The worst ozone year in recent history on the northern Front Range boosted pollutant violations in a rolling three-year average closely watched by the EPA, state officials said Oct. 21, though they did not offer bold new programs to combat the hazardous substance. Twelve monitoring sites on the Front Range now have a three-year average over the EPA’s most recent 70-parts-per-billion cap for ozone, and five sites violate even the EPA’s previous looser standard of 75 parts per billion, according to annual Haze obscures the Denver skyline as seen in an aerial view.

Adams County’s 14-day test positivity rate was 15.9 percent, as of Nov. 17, according to Tri-County Health Department. Brighton and Commerce City’s test positivity rates were both higher than 13 percent. Forty-five people in Brighton and 29 in Commerce City have died from COVID-19 related health issues. To limit the spread of COVID-19, at least 15 counties moved to tighter restrictions that prohibits indoor and personal gatherings.

RTD has also begun talking about seeking federal funding for free transit on ozone alert days, which would cost millions in foregone ticket revenue, he added. Silverstein said RAQC and others will be looking at reducing vehicle miles traveled, a key measure in trying to cut ozone pollution, by working with large warehouse centers, shopping malls or other concentrated locations for vehicle trips. Front Range air pollution monitors can separate out pollution sources and identify which category is most promising for reducing ozone — travel by cars and light trucks is the top pollution contributor for almost every monitor, the Oct. 21 presentations showed. Changing automobile use for employers or employees, though, has proven one of the most fraught avenues in metro Denver’s pollution control efforts. Air Pollution Control Division staff over the summer proposed requiring large employers to cut the number of commuting or work miles driven by staff, but quickly withdrew the Employee Trip Reduction Program on opposition from business and industry groups. Silverstein noted that rebates to people who replace gas-powered lawn mowing equipment with clean electric models has also helped make a dent in afternoon ozone.

Adams County prepares to leave Tri-County Health STAFF REPORT
The Adams County commissioners will vote to begin the process to end the county’s relationship with the Tri-County Health Department, according to a statement released Oct. 19. According to the statement, commissioners intend to bring forward a resolution at their Oct. 26 public hearing to provide notice of Adams County’s decision to leave Tri-County Health Department. Per its legal obligation, Adams County will remain a part of TCHD through December 2022. Starting January 2023, Adams County will have its own health department structure in place. There will be no disruption of services to Adams County residents during this transition, according to the statement. “During this transition, the focus will always remain the health and well-being of our residents,” said Eva J. Henry, Adams County Commissioner and board chairperson. “This new structure gives us an opportunity to focus on the specific needs of our residents and invest dollars in the areas that need it most.” According to the statement, Adams County will work closely with partners during the next year who rely on health department services to establish needs and best practices for partnerships going forward, while focusing on positive outcomes for Adams County residents. “Douglas County’s decisions left us no choice but to re-evaluate the future of public health services in Adams County,” said Henry. “As a result, Adams County must determine the best option to move ahead for a health board and services provided to residents.” Similar to the majority of counties in Colorado, Adams County will follow the common practice of providing its own health department for its residents, according to the statement. Arapahoe County’s elected leaders released a statement in reaction to Adams County’s announcement “The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners is saddened that our neighboring counties have chosen to end the productive 55-year partnership with the Tri-County Health Department,” according to that press release.

“Arapahoe County residents will continue to receive all existing TriCounty public health services uninterrupted during the transition,” the statement from commissioners said. It added: “The Board intends to do what it can to support the many dedicated employees of Tri-County Health throughout this process.” The chain of events that led to counties leaving Tri-County Health began more than a year ago. In July 2020, Douglas County commissioners announced they would eventually leave Tri-County Health, citing a wish for more local control over public health orders. Douglas’ consideration of leaving the agency came amid a rift with Tri-County Health over the agency’s coronavirus pandemic policies. But last November, the commissioners walked the decision back and agreed to stay with the health department until at least 2023. As part of that agreement, however, the commissioners were assured they would be able to opt out of any public health order. The Tri-County health board voted on Aug. 30 this year to no longer allow opt-outs. Douglas commissioners formalized the decision to leave Tri-County in a meeting Sept. 7, opting to form its own health department. In early September, Arapahoe County confirmed that Arapahoe and Adams counties had also been contemplating splitting away from Tri-County Health, among other options, driven by Douglas County’s intention to leave. An Arapahoe County spokesperson at the time said a separation by Arapahoe wouldn’t be driven by any policy disagreement with the agency.
Douglas exiting the health agency would potentially create financial or budgetary problems for the other two counties, the spokesperson added. Later, Douglas County reached an agreement to continue to receive all services from Tri-County Health Department until at least the end of 2022 after the two entities came to an agreement that was approved by the county commissioners during a Sept. 28 work session. Douglas will still have its own board of health in charge of things like county-wide public health orders. The county will continue to pay its proportional share of the cost of Tri-County services, according to the agreement. In light of that agreement, it was less clear how Douglas’ exit would financially affect Arapahoe and Adams. Some local leaders in Arapahoe County had worried that a decision of whether to break away from TriCounty Health Department would be influenced by the “politicization of public health.” “There was this question about what is the message to our residents about the politicization of public health and the trust and responsibility in government if there’s a perception that this decision is being made because of politics around COVID? What are we saying to our residents?” said Lisa VanRaemdonck, a consultant who was gathering opinions to guide Arapahoe County’s decision of whether to form its own health department after Douglas County’s impending exit of Tri-County Health. VanRaemdonck spoke to Arapahoe’s commissioners during a Sept. 14 meeting.

Anythink goes on behind the yellow tape Program offers glimpse at crime scene investigation, forensics and autopsies
Anythink Library is bringing in death scene investigators to learn about the process of solving clues.
BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A program at Anythink Wright Farms hopes to demystify crime scene investigations and forensics, offering answers without making the topic creepy. The new program “Death and Donuts” offers a chance to talk to death investigators about the process of an autopsy and how the forensic pathologist, autopsy technicians use science to find evidence and get clues to determine the cause of death. “I wanted to develop a program where we demystify death and dying and provide a safe space, where people can listen and see what’s happening and ask questions,” said Mandi Miller, an Anythink Libraries guide. “It is questions that people can’t normally ask without seeming creepy, and maybe get some answers to some things that they’re curious about.” The program is appropriate for adults. It runs from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m on Oct. 28 at Anythink Wright Farms. The space is limited and registration is required at https://www.anythinklibraries.
COURTESY OF ANYTHINK LIBRARY
org/events/death-donuts. The Death and Donuts educational program is the first of its kind for Anythink Libraries. “I have personally never done a program like this. But I wanted to do this because the topic of death and dying is considered a taboo topic and nobody wants to talk about it, but everybody’s curious about it. So far 35 people have signed up,” said Miller. The special guests are Ashley Huerta, an autopsy technician
for four years, and Arely JuarezDominquez a medical-legal death investigator for two years. Both work in Arapahoe County. “These ladies who are hosting our program are experts and are strong women of color and there is under-representation of women of racial and ethnic minorities in STEM-related fields,” said Miller. Miller says she wanted to represent women of color that are working in these fields and STEM that are not usually represented.
“It’s not because women of color are not interested in STEM-related fields, it’s usually due to the K through 12 teachers discouraging their students of diverse backgrounds from pursuing these occupations due to implicit bias or other reasons,” she said. “I’m excited and donuts help, because we always associate donuts as comforting, and it helps lighten the mood. You can’t be upset when you’re eating a doughnut,” said Miller.

Soccer: Adams City poised for another run at state 5A title BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
AURORA – Adams City’s soccer team was hanging onto a state tournament slot as of Oct. 21. The Eagles, who lost to Hinkley 2-1 in Aurora in the regular-season finale, were in 31st place in the Ratings Performance Index, one of the criteria to determine the 32 postseason qualifiers. The draw was due Oct. 25, after press time (visit twitter/com/sportsland for updates), and first-round games are Wednesday, Oct. 27. Hinkley scored the first two goals of the Oct. 19 match in the first half, then withstood a late charge from the Eagles for the win. Josue Rascon, a sophomore forward, scored Adams City’s goal with about six minutes left. The game ended as Hinkley goalkeeper Ernesto Burciaga Garcia booted the ball to safety in front of an onrushing Eagles’ player. “We always talk about it being a numbers game,” Eagles coach Kevin Davis said. “Opportunities crate chances to finish. We’ve been awesome the entire season. We’re averaging 20-plus shots per game, which is unheard of, but that’s the style we play. We have a core of technically sound players.” Suncor Air Monitoring Print Ads.pdf Eight of the Eagles’ players are wrapping up their third year of

varsity level soccer. “We have the best player in the league (Diego Flores, 19 goals, 13 assists, 51 points), and we have the best goalie in the league (Adrian Arriaga, goals-against average of 0.588 in 15 games),” Davis said. “So that 2 8/10/21 10:38 PM kind of helps.” Davis said his team didn’t execute

the game plan. “We knew what we were coming into. They were getting some of their stronger players back,” the coach said. “We struggled in the beginning. As the game went on, we started to find our style of play. It was too much to try and come back from a two-goal deficit.”
ACHS finished 12-3, 6-2 in the Eastern Metro Athletic Conference. It’s the first time since 2012 that Adams City won as many as 12 games in a season. The Eagles won 14 contests in 2012 and advanced to the second round of the state playoffs. A state tournament berth would be the second for ACHS in as many years. “We don’t care who we play,” Davis said. “These kids have been playing soccer all their lives. Once the whistle blows, it’s who can break each other down and create opportunities to finish. It just speeds up in the playoffs. Slowly but surely, we’re turning the program back to where it used to be and into a winning tradition.”

All four of the Olys’ goals came in the first half. No stats were immediately available. The ThunderHawks finished with a record of 5-8-1. Cross country GREELEY -- No one from Prairie View High School qualified for this year’s state 5A cross country meet. The top finisher for the girls team was McKinsey Poulson, who took 44th in the class 5A Region 4 meet at Monfrot Park Oct. 21 with a time of 22:03.5. Others who ran for the ThunderHawks were Isabella Lopez (58th, 23:28.6) and Kayla Martinez (70th, 25:51.9),
The top finisher on the boys side was Kaleb Price, whose time of 18:42 was good for 52nd place. The other point-producers were Kevin Martinez (54th, 18:57.2), Gavin Walker (68th, 20:11.9), Martin Delgado-Navarez (72nd, 20:37.5) and Daniel Garcia (77th, 21:05.1). Football Prairie View just did slip by Denver East 28-27 at All-City Stadium Oct. 22. No stats were available for the ThunderHawks.

the matches would take place). It’s a global city. When people visit, businesses often end up here.” Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City has hosted World Cup qualifying events, including a snowstorm-laced contest in 2013 between the United States and Costa Rica. But the home of the Colorado Rapids isn’t part of Denver’s bid. “It’s not large enough,” Payne said. “With the anticipated crowds, we’d need a place that seats above 50,000 people. The average attendance in 1994 (the last time the U.S. hosted a World cup) was 70,000. Dick’s could be used as a training site.” Rodriguez said the economic ben-
efit to the area could approach $360 million from hotels, restaurants, lodging and tourism-related activities. “We have 52,000 hotel rooms and 12,000 in the downtown core,” Payne said. “Most are within walking distance of the stadium. Think of the number of hotels that weren’t here four years ago. Then think of the number of hotels that will be built between now and when the World Cup comes.” “In 2026, the field expands to 46 teams. Folks who travel to see their teams play have economic power,” Rodriguez said. “They come for days at a time. Some come for weeks.” Area taxpayers won’t have to foot
a bill, other than buying a ticket of admission. The altitude isn’t as big a problem as one might think. Rodriguez said three cities in Mexico are higher in elevation than Denver. The weather could work to Denver’s advantage, too. “Denver has unique things to offer,” Rodriguez said. “We have the best airport in the world. If you think about some of the coastal cities in New York, Miami, they have higher humidity. Our average temperature is in the 80s. It doesn’t rain a lot in the summer here.” Soccer is the No. 1 participatory sport in the state, thanks in part to youth soccer, he said.

Since the founding of our nation, the role of newspapers in our democracy has been crystal clear. We have been, and will continue to be, the eyes and ears of the American people. After all, the right of free speech is meaningless if no one knows what’s really going on. That’s why more than 100 million Americans depend on their hometown newspapers daily and why today’s newsrooms are staffed with dedicated, highly trained reporters and experienced editors who bring you the very best journalism found anywhere, in print and online.
