New COVID-19 restrictions will prohibit indoor dining, personal gatherings

One-stop wellness center and social services Hub opens Easy access all in one location for services BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Multiple Adams County offices, as well as several social service agencies, will get a new home, based out of a neighborhood hub. Commerce City created a new one of its kind community campus hub at South Platte Crossing, 7190 Colorado Blvd. It combines neighborhood health and social services centers with numerous agencies all in one location. “We hoping to get as many services and supports on-site as possible to try and decrease barriers for families accessing the services that they need, “ said Stephanie Henderson, who works at the hub. “I’m with the Early Childhood Partnership of Adams County and the Early Childhood Council. We convened this collaborative, but we’re also providing services and support in this building. We opened up a family resource and support center about a month ago.” The Commerce City Community Campus (C4) at South Platte

Crossing provides services on campus such as access to housing, Adams County Department of motor vehicle, Cultivando, ECPAC childhood partnership of Adams County, Maria Droste Counseling Center for mental health, a Precious Child, Front Range clinic, Creative Treatment Options, and United for a New Economy. Coming soon and already provide services, the City of Commerce City, Kids First Health Care, Kids in Need of Dentistry (Kind), Colorado Orthodontic Foundation, Tri-County Health Department, Women, Infants & Children (WIC), and The Urban Land Conservancy. Also, on campus, they have a food and clothing pantry that provides food, diapers, and children’s clothing for those in need. A care package is put together to take home. Kids first Health Care provides health care to children from birth to age 21. It doesn’t matter where they live. Also, parents received help with health insurance or Medicaid.

Gen. Laura Richardson returns home

U.S. Southern commander urges residents to get involved BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

General Laura Richardson has advice for Northglenn residents. “Volunteer, get out in the community and get to know your community and be a part of your community,” she said. “Be involved. Don’t sit at home and be a recluse, on the Xbox or whatever, be out, be part of making change. Be part of having folks hear your voice. Join Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, all this kind of stuff. Being on a sports team, being in a band, being with other people,” she said. This involvement, she says, will prepare folks for their future. “Then once you graduate from high school, it’s not like `what am I going to do.’ Well shoot, if you got out and you were part of something while in high school you might know of the opportunities,” she said. Gen. Richardson spoke at Metropolitan State University of Denver’s fall commencement ceremony on Friday, Dec. 17 at the Colorado Convention Center with two ceremonies. Richardson has strong ties to the North Denver Metro Area. A Northglenn native and Northglenn High School alum, she and her high school swim team still hold records. In fact, her mom, a former writer for the Northglenn Thornton Sentinel, would report those records in the weekly newspaper. She graduated from Metropolitan State University in 1986 and then accepted a commission as an Army aviator. She has a masters of science degree from the Industrial College of the Armed Forces and was the military aid to former Vice President Al Gore and as Chief of the Secretary of the Army’s liaison division to the U.S. Senate. Now, she is the highest-ranking female in the Army as the commander of the U.S. Southern Command. She comments on how being a woman strengthens her work. “I think because I’m a woman I think I’m more of a human person,” she said. With much of her work involving countries with very patriarchal regimes, sometimes leaders question her ability to lead based on her sex. “I think it’s just folks aren’t sure, maybe in some cases, what they’re going to get,” she said. She credits her roots for steering her in the right direction.

MSU Denver alumni and four-star Army Gen. Laura Richardson speaks with reporters alongside MSU President Janine Davidson. Richardson, who was recently promoted to commander of the U.S. Southern Command and is now the highest-ranking female in the Army, was the featured speaker at the school’s fall LUKE ZARZECKI graduation Dec. 17.

“Coming home, it’s really fun for me,” Richardson said. Her secret to her success? “MSU,” she said. National Issues Throughout her service, she saw climate change worsen and become more of a national security threat. She talked about more intense storms and how various national and local agencies work in tandem to respond. “Climate change is definitely there. Make no mistake,” she said. With the recent defense bill that passed Congress, serious crimes such as sexual assault, rape, kidnapping and manslaughter, will be prosecuted by an independent office formed by the Department of Defense. Though, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. pushed for the crimes to be handled outside of the chain of command entirely. With the military addressing sexual assault, Gen. Richardson notes the issue exists not just in the branches. “This isn’t just a problem in the military. It’s a problem in our entire society,” she said. “There’s no room for it. There is absolutely no room for this in our military.” She thinks the issue breaks down trust and camaraderie. “When you’re on a range, you don’t shoot your buddy when you’re trying to qualify your weapon,” she said. The bill, however, fell short of requiring women to register for the draft. She said that all combat positions within the department of defense opened up for women to serve, and she said the country might not be ready for that yet. “That’s a decision by our country,” she said.

SPORTS Letter signings, COVID, conference alignments dot area sports landscape BY STAFF REPORTS

Local high-school athletes fought their way through COVID distractions to earn chances to continue their academic and athletic pursuits in the first half of 2021. The longstanding Eastern Metro Athletic Conference perished. Brighton and Prairie View high schools are due to move to the Front Range League, a move that’s been in the making as long as the EMAC. Adams City is slated to join the Colorado League. Here’s a synopsis of who did what during the first six months of 2021. January In the week before Christmas, Brighton High School swimmer Jespyn Bishop made his list, checked it twice and decided McKendree University was more than nice enough for him to enroll. Bishop plans to play on the school’s water polo team. “Out of all the options I was looking at for college, McKendree was the best option for me,” Bishop said. “Going there would allow me to play water polo, have good academics, get a four-year degree and, over the course of four years, it had the best financial plan where I wouldn’t have too much in student loans.” Bishop’s sister, Jill, made what for her was a simple choice to continue her softball and education needs. February Prairie View’s Jeff Nelson found his new school -- Colorado State University-Pueblo -had a lot of things working in his favor. He made his college commitment to the ThunderWolves last week. The letter signing will take place later this spring. Nelson wanted to play either NCAA Division I or Division II golf. “They are a highly ranked D2 team and golf has always been my focus,” Nelson said. “The coach, the team and the facilities are all I could ask for. Over the last year, I created a list of goals and college criteria. They fit almost all of them.” He talked to players, coaches and alumni too. He said those responses followed the same theme: They all liked the college and the coach. “It is a D-II college with a golf course within walking distance of the campus,” Nelson said. “I found out this is rare while in discussions with other colleges.” March The Eastern Metro Athletic Conference officially died in early February. What once was a league of class 4A and 5A schools, then all 5A schools, doesn’t have any more members after the biennial reorganization of high schools into new leagues, based on enrollment. BHS and Prairie View joined the Front Range League, a class 6A league, pending a decision from the Colorado High School Activities Association board of directors in the spring. BHS and Prairie View schedule non-conference games within the Front Range League. Adams City joins the Colorado League, which includes Skyview, Thornton, Gateway and Fort Lupton high schools.

of the year, partially because of a shortage of officials and partially because of a desire to get soccer referees who play the sport, too. Colorado High School Soccer Officials President Ken Hehr outlined his goals before a Zoom meeting of CHSAA’s soccer committee. “I want to encourage high-school players to become referees so they understand the rules of the game,” Hehr told the committee. “If they

take the course, that helps the referees on the field because the players aren’t yelling about something they don’t know about. It’s a great way to educate the student-athlete and help us out.” NCAA competition SEE DISTRACTIONS, P6

DISTRACTIONS FROM PAGE 5

A year ago, former Adams City and state champion wrestler Fabian Gutierrez was awaiting his chance to compete at the NCAA Division I national tournament. COVID-19 had other ideas; the tournament was canceled. A year later, Gutierrez received an at-large bid to the national meet in St. Louis. And though he did not place, Gutierrez was happy with how things played out. “I went 1-2, losing in the first round and won one on the backside of the bracket and then lost a very good match,” said Gutierrez, who competes for the University of TennesseeChattanooga. “I think what worked for me was that I tried to stick to my style.” Lifitng quarantine Adams 12 School District Superintendent Chris Gdowski thinks a mandatory 14-day quarantine period for student-athletes who either test positive or are potentially exposed to coronavirus isn’t fair. Two days later, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment decreased that period of time from 14 days to 10. As of March 4, it wasn’t clear what was going to happen to some 100 student-athletes in the Adams 12 district who were in quarantine and, perhaps, not able to compete in league, regional or state competitions as the so-called “Season B” sports season draws to a close. League swim meets are this weekend, as were regional wrestling tournaments. Outlasting Levi Deaguero lasted the longest of any of the Adams City wrestlers who qualified for the state 5A meet in Pueblo March 13. Deaguero, a sophomore and a two-time state qualifier, took fourth at 145 pounds during the

December 28, 2021 daylong tournament at the Southwest Motors Events Center. Deaguero split his first two matches. Grand Junction’s Kieran Thompson beat Deaguero 6-3 in the quarterfinals. Deaguero rallied to beat Brighton’s Brayden Wilkens 3-2 in the first round of consolations. Deaguero continued his run through the consolation draw with an injury default win over Douglas County’s Ivan Morris. In the consolation finals, Kieran Thompson of Grand Junction beat Deaguero 6-2 in overtime. April Referee recruiting came to the forefront, thanks to Adam Laubert. He was trying to address a need in sports programs that cater to all age levels and all ability levels. It’s the lack of officials, an issue that has caused postponements of area high-school and nationwide college contests. Part of the shortfall is the impacts of coronavirus. Laubert, who graduated from Prairie View High School in 2015 and then spent four years in the Army, is the operations director and social media director with Herd of Zebras, a start-up company with a goal to make sure there are enough certified officials to work these contests. Rob Sigmon is the CEO/founder. Herd of Zebras started in 2006. Intents ceremony More letter of intent signings came from Prairie View High School. Seven of its athletes put pen to paper April 19 and signed letters of intent to continue playing their sports in college. “As a coach, to have this many kids move to the next level is one of my favorite things to see,” said former PVHS wrestling coach and now athletic director Jason Humphrey. Desirae and Demirae Woolsey are twins and have played softball together since they were 8. So, naturally, they are going to Western Prairie View golfer Jeff Nelson

DISTRACTIONS FROM PAGE 7

Nebraska Community College in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Isaac Manaugh opted to play baseball at the College of the Desert in Palm Springs, California. Soccer player Brooklyn McKinney’s new college coach, Nick Rizzo, made two pitches. The second one came from St. Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota, where McKinney will attend. Jeff Nelson signed on with Colorado State University-Pueblo to play golf. Marcus Sanchez is heading to Otero Junior College in Lamar for two years of studies and two years of baseball. “Otero was a good choice when I went to visit,” he said. “It’s three hours away, so the distance isn’t bad.” Gonzales said Sanchez was in the right place at the right time during the recruiting process. “We were playing in Fort Lupton, and the head coach of the other club team was an assistant at Otero,” Gonzales said. “Marcus hit three bombs in the game, and he pitched a gem. It was a matter of fate.” Braden Stauffer will take his basketball talent to Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “Honestly, it’s the people there,” Stauffer said. “I went on my visit to meet the coach. It blew me away. They are easily the nicest people I’ve ever met. It threw me off. There’s only so many ways to be nice. The coach and my dad were talking about football on my basketball visit.” The last three times Adams City’s soccer team has made the state playoffs, the Eagles have had to play Boulder High School. Each time -- including the first round of the

playoffs April 22 -- the Panthers have won. BHS won the most recent contest 3-0 in Commerce City. Letter-of-intent signings stretched into June – just like the school year – because of COVID-19. Four Adams City High School athletes signed college letter of intent late last month in a ceremony that also included a recap of pandemic-inspired life in the world of Eagles’ athletics. The four were Paige Beiringer (softball, Southeast Community College in Lincoln, Nebraska), Gerardo Caldera (football, Waldorf University, Forest City, Iowa), and Yoseline Hernandez and Yasmin Rojas Rivera (soccer, Western Nebraska Community College, Scottsbluff, Nebraska). Each athlete delivered a thank-you speech. “My father has been my No. 1 supporter,” Beiringer said. “I don’t think he missed very many games. I want to thank my mom. She took me to practices, and she was always there for me. My coaches? You’ve helped me a lot to become a better player.” Caldera was next on the dais. “My family supported since I was a little kid,” Caldera said. “My teammates picked me up when I was down. We had a season when we didn’t think we were going to have a season.” Hernandez was next, and she thanked her mom and others. “I want to thank my coaches. You pushed me to do better,” she said. “I’m super thankful I have the opportunity to play college ball.” Rivera followed suit. “I want to thank my family and my coaches,” Rivera said. “The coaches made me realize I can do things if I put my mind to it.” June Adams City graduate Gerardo Caldera was aiming for 12 high-school athletic letters. He would have had 11 (baseball in 2020) if not for the coronavirus pandemic. As it turned out, he finished with 10. The 11th would have been

Jespyn Bishop

STEVE SMITH

as a wrestler three years ago. But his weightclass competition was Christian Rowell, who won a state title. Even so, Caldera is happy. “I set out to get 12 letters, one in every sport but I had a tough freshman year in wrestling,” Caldera said. “But after that I knew I couldn’t get 12. So, I had to get 11.” Caldera said there was no instance the past four years when he wanted to stop pursuing the athletic letters. In fact, he wanted to add one. “I wanted to be on the dive team, but with baseball being in the same season and meets being at the same time as my baseball games, I couldn’t do it,” he said.

OUTLOOK FROM PAGE 7

September, when they last presented to the JBC. OSPB’s forecast was a bit less optimistic, predicting $2 billion in excess revenue in the current fiscal year, and $1.7 billion in excess revenue in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 fiscal years. That’s still well above the $697 million to $1.1 billion in excess revenues they forecast in September. If the revenue projections hold, taxpayers will see an income tax rate reduction and sales tax refund checks in the mail for each of the next three fiscal years. Democrats could try to ask voters to let the legislature keep the excess revenue. They have also been mulling policy mechanisms that don’t require voter approval that would let the lawmakers keep some of the surplus money, including by moving money around to make it exempt from the TABOR cap and expanding existing tax credits, like the child tax credit and the earned-income tax credit. The TABOR cap was exceeded by about $454 million in the 2020-

21 fiscal year, which ended June 30, prompting an income-tax rate reduction to 4.5% from 4.55%, and an additional sales tax refund payment, on average, of about $70. Joint filers will receive $166 on average. Inflation, labor issues persist Even though Colorado’s tax revenues are expected to be strong, there are still problem areas in the state’s economy. Inflation in the Denver metro area was 6.5% overall in November, or 5.2% excluding the energy and transportation sectors, which tend to be more volatile and are experiencing much larger rates of inflation at the moment: 36.6% and 20.5% respectively. “Energy and transportation are really the driving forces behind inflation,” said Jeff Stupak, an economist with Legislative Council Staff. Supply chain issues fuel inflation Stupak said that ongoing supply chain issues paired with healthy demand also put positive pressure on inflation, but that he hopes by 2022 some of those pressures will wane. The most obvious example is in the automobile market. As supply chain shortages have constrained the supply of new cars, the price of used

cars has ballooned. Additionally, Bryce Cooke, chief economist for OSPB, said he expects that inflation tied to housing prices will pick up around the same time other supply chain issues are resolved. That could put more pressure on Colorado’s already-strained housing market. Colorado’s labor market, meanwhile, has been on the rebound, with 86% of jobs lost during the pandemic recovered. About 10,000 jobs are being regained each month. By June, nonpartisan legislative staff expect all jobs lost during COVID to have been recovered. But the job market is not recovering at the same pace for all sectors of income earners and in all areas of Colorado. For instance, there are still about 16,000 pre-pandemic food service jobs that haven’t been filled, and job recovery for people making less than $27,000 a year has been far worse compared to workers earning $60,000 a year or more. The good news for workers is that “wages and salaries are on the rise,” according to Cooke. And OSPB doesn’t expect the trend to change. In fact, much of the revenue increases forecast Friday are being

While inflation goes up, the Colorado economy continues on a steady pace to PHOTO BY ANDY COLWELL recovery.

driven by personal income taxes. Stupak cautioned that the pandemic “remains in the driver’s seat” and the new omicron variant continues to fuel uncertainty.
