vided the audit to the District Attorney. That office has declined to move forward with any kind of criminal investigation, she said. “Based on the information they have, there is not enough evidence to move forward with criminal charges,” Lewis said..”The DA’s office left open the possibility of contacting them in the future should further evidence reveal additional concerns.” But the results of the audit are why the Adams 14 district terminated their working agreement with MGT Consulting. “The Adams 14 board still has a public trust obligation to insure that MGT acts and conduct were in line with the external management agreement,” Lewis said..”We will broaden our investigation to all contracts engaged in by MGT during the two-anda-half years they managed the district.

Throughout his life Oscar enjoyed the fellowship of bible studies and theological discussions with anyone who was interested. His faith was always strong, and even in the last weeks of his life he would venture out to early morning bible studies with men of the Calvary Lutheran Church congregation. He touched the lives – often unknowingly – of many people with the strength of his faith and witness in his savior Jesus.
One of Oscar’s passions was Allis-Chalmers Oscar was drafted into the Army for the and Moline tractors. He became a collector Korean War in September 1951 and served over the years, accumulating tractors he for 2 years in the Corps of Engineers US remembered farming with when he was a Army. He often spoke of his time of service child and spent many hours and probably and how it shaped his life after his return thousands of gallons of fuel hauling them home in 1953. Oscar was a proud Veteran across the country to tractor pulls – events and was usually seen sporting his Korean War his sons and grandsons often participated in Veteran hat everywhere he went.

Dairy cows became the primary business over the next 20 years, and by 1980 300 Holsteins and Brown Swiss cows were being milked twice daily. By the late 1980s a beef cow-calf herd and small feedlot to finish out beef calves and dairy steers was added to the additional farm ground when the farm expanded. Oscar “retired” after Mazell was diagnosed with cancer. He viewed his primary occupation as caring for his wife for the last seven years of her life. They pursued many treatments and traveled extensively in search of a cure. Mazell’s fight ended November 19th, 1994 after 38 years of marriage. On April 13th, 1996 Oscar married Ruth Wagner and moved to her farm near Wellington, Colorado. Ruth, who had also lost a spouse to cancer, was Oscar’s constant companion for the next 25 years.

Platte Valley president ready to apply COVID lessons Pandemic, supply chain impacts are similar hurdles for Jaime Campbell BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
WINTER AIR DUCT CLEANING SPECIALS
Platte Valley Medical Center might be more than 1,000 miles away from where the hospital’s new president started, but it feels pretty close to home as far as she’s concerned. “What drew me to Platte Valley is the similarity to where I grew up. My family were farmers by trade and still have property there,” said Jaime Campbell, the new head of the Brighton hospital. “The hospital where I came from took care of my family and (was) also where my children were born.” Campbell came on board on January 17 as president at Platte Valley. She brings years of experience to the job but also critical skills. She was the Incident Commander for COVID operations at California’s Bakersfield Memorial Hospital. “What was interesting about COVID is that the experience has been the same at every hospital in the nation,” she said. “It’s regulated and mandated. The lockdown taught us the same lessons, with the supply chain disruptions. We learned a lot about staff resiliency, well-being, burnout compassion, and fatigue that we had never experienced
before,” said Campbell. Campbell was Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Bakersfield Memorial, a 385-bed acute care hospiJaime Campbell tal. She also Platte Valley Medical worked as chief Center President. operations officer and Incident Commander for 22 months during COVID operations, before she moved to Colorado. Campbell learned how to deal with the impact on staff and patients differently. “Staff resiliency efforts revolve around support services for the staff, whether it’s mental health, peer to peer counseling, opportunities, financial assistance such as when a spouse loses their job. We lost staff that had to stay home with their kids when they couldn’t go to school,” Campbell said. Campbell points to new technology, especially virtual and long-distance meeting trends, as one of the biggest innovations with practical benefits that have changed hospitals and medical care with COVID. “We were able to take advantage of virtual care in and out of the hospital. It continues to increase, whether it’s for mental health resources or actual patient visits with a physician virtually. The schedul-
ing of COVID tests, drive-thru clinics, vaccines happening on a virtual platform. For the most part, it keeps people from congregating,” Campbell said. “You can use iPhones and we have iPads in the hospital that we can use for COVID patients to see their loved ones virtually,” said Campbell. Short on staff Hospitals nationwide have experienced dire situations from shortages, including a need for staffing and protective equipment like masks and gloves. And, of course, there are never enough beds. But Campbell said she is thankful that the severity of COVID’s latest Omicron variant is gradually decreasing. The situation is not dire at Platte Valley now and she sees some relief from the supply chain disruption across the nation. But the hospital is still feeling the impact of the national labor shortage. “We are feeling the nursing shortage, here as well as within the physician population,” said Campbell. “(But) we need people to stay as healthy as they possibly can, and we are here to take care of them. “We encourage them to continue practicing hand hygiene and careful interactions with other people that are symptomatic, taking responsibility for their symptoms, not exposing other people when they have symptoms, and to getting vaccinated.”
Varying by variant Campbell says the hospital isn’t normally full of COVID patients and there is still a healthy mix of patients with other illnesses and conditions. “The impact of COVID on a hospital varies from day to day with each variant,” said Campbell. “The fact is, from one second to another we don’t know how many people we will have in the hospital the next day. We plan from shift to shift in terms of how to staff the hospital.” Campbell says the hospital continues to test the high-risk patient populations, symptomatic patients and to place them where they can be taken care of appropriately for their condition.
COVID forever Campbell says they can’t predict what healthcare is going to look like post COVID. “It’s something we’re going to have to live with forever and probably treat it down the road, like the flu or anything else that we get vaccinated for regularly,” said Campbell. Campbell says health care workers will continue to learn lessons from what they experienced during COVID. It’s important to pay attention to the staff and their mental well-being from the impact of being in a pandemic environment and how long it takes to recover, she said. SEE LESSONS, P4

Colorado to target I-70 express lane scofflaws House bill would let cameras track drivers using toll lanes illegally BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Nearly 50,000 motorists, or an average of 2,000 per month, broke the law in 2020 when they drove in the eastbound Interstate 70 express toll lane through Clear Creek County while it was closed and supposed to be serving as the emergency shoulder. Colorado let those I-70 scofflaws off the hook and it has likely been giving thousands more drivers a similar pass since the 13-mile lane from Empire to Idaho Springs opened in 2015. But the state is now trying to put its foot down as it opens a westbound express lane, which it fears will become filled with just as many lawbreakers. Drivers who illegally travel in the closed express lanes may face a $250 fine as soon as August under legislation being debated at the state Capitol. The state legislature is quickly advancing House Bill 1074, a bipartisan measure that would let the Colorado Department of Transportation use the license plate cameras used to collect tolls when the I-70 mountain express lane is open to also ticket motorists driving in the lane when it is closed. Fines range from $10 to $250, and would also be levied on drivers towing trailers or who are behind the wheel of a tractor trailer. Both types of

“The mental, physical and emotional toll of COVID on healthcare workers — particularly in the acute care hospital setting — is unprecedented. The way we tackle that is also going to be unprecedented. We have to be very creative,” said Campbell. Trusting the system Platte Valley has great pro-
vehicles are prohibited from traveling in the narrow express lanes. Andy Karsian, a legislative liaison for the Colorado Department of Transportation, said people using the express lanes when they are closed present a “major safety issue.” And there’s really no other way to enforce the lane closure than by using the license plate cameras. Offenders would be mailed a ticket just as they are when they are caught running a red-light camera in downtown Denver. “Law enforcement can’t patrol and provide (a) presence on this stretch because that shoulder is too narrow,” he told lawmakers, referring to the express lane. “We need to have this authority in order to make sure people understand the ramifications and the penalties associated with traveling in it (illegally).” There are now express toll lanes across Colorado, but unlike the others, the one on I-70 through Clear Creek County cannot be open all of the time. That’s because the mountain express lanes are narrower than a traditional interstate lane. (The westbound express lane opened for testing in July.) The express lanes are narrower because CDOT opted to use the existing width of the roadway to create toll lanes instead of widening the highway, which would have been more costly and had more environmental impacts. But because the lanes are so narrow, Colorado had to make a deal with federal regulators limiting the numbers and hours each year they can be open The eastbound express lane can be grams for staff, including child care assistance, financial resources, employee assistance and mental health programs, she said. “Platte Valley, with SCL health as a health system, has resources that were put in place to try to keep people financially viable and to keep them mentally whole and healthy as well.” They also developed a program called Reset, which is aimed at the restoration and recovery of the workforce. “It focused solely on programs

open a maximum of 100 days a year for no more than 1,168 hours annually. The westbound express lane can be open for no more than 125 days a year and no more than 965 hours annually. CDOT opens the lanes during peak traffic periods, and the toll changes based on demand. CDOT says the eastbound express lane has been a success at reducing drive times on the busy stretch, but people illegally traveling in it, officials say, poses a big risk of a serious crash. “If you have a flat tire and you’re in that lane, you’re not expecting somebody to come up on you at 65 or 75 miles an hour,” said state Sen. Dennis Hisey, an El Paso County Republican who is a prime sponsor of the bill. “So it’s a safety concern that people are using it as a traffic lane when it’s not intended to be a traffic lane.” Hisey and his coprime sponsor on the measure, state Rep. July Amabile, a Boulder Democrat, said that CDOT pushed for the legislation. “There’s no mechanism to actu-
ally close the lane off,” Amabile said in explaining why the legislation is necessary. Some Republicans voted against House Bill 1074 when it was heard this week in the Colorado House, citing their general opposition to the use of toll lanes in the state. The measure passed the House by a 43-22 vote on Feb. 15. It now heads to the Senate and appears to be on a glidepath to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk. Nonpartisan legislative fiscal analysts believe deploying the cameras to ticket drivers who use the mountain express lanes when they are closed will result in about $50,000 worth of fine revenue each year.
and resources that the staff here at Platte Valley can benefit from,” she said. Platte Valley also developed a pilot program to train nurse externs from Colorado Christian University on-site during their final year. It’s part of the hospital’s ongoing employee retention efforts. “We hope between 20 and 30 nurses participate in the program here. We could learn and benefit from their energy and presence while they learn from us, but the
anticipation is many of them will choose to stay once they have experienced this hospital,” said Campbell. She plans on listening to the community to plan the hospital’s next steps, she said. “What this community needs will drive the direction that we go so we will carefully approach strategic planning to ensure that we have the services that are needed by the population that is represented here as it continues to grow,” said Campbell.

State 5A wrestling: Another Deaguero wins state championship BYSTAFFREPORTS
DENVER -- Adams City’s Levi Deaguero becomes the latest in his family to capture a state wrestling championship. Deaguero won the 145-pound title at the Class 5A state tournament Feb. 19 by a score of 3-2 over Ponderosa’s Tyler Eise. It was the closest match for Deaguero in the three-day tournament. Deaguero (38-1) pinned Columbine’s Will Schrader, Grand Junction’s Able Martinez and Grandview’s Sonny Quintana in a combined time of 6:11. Jace Long wound up third at 132 pounds. He won his first two matches, including a tough, 1-0 decision over Austin Eudaly of Arvada West in the
quarterfinals. After a semifinal round loss to Elijah Olguin of Pomona, Long beat Payton Harris of Ponderosa 5-0 and pinned Mountain Range’s Kyle Lewis in 44 seconds of the third-place match. Daniel Long took third at 170 pounds. Long (33-14) split his first two matches, then lost to Roman Cruz of Pomona in the semifinals. After that, Long earned a major, 8-0 decision against True Tobiasson and a 4-0 decision over Grandview’s Josh Allen. Maximus Gutierrez took fourth at 138 pounds. Gutierrez (37-10) split his first two matches, then had to win three in a row in the consolation bracket to have a chance to place. Two of those wins were by pinfall. Pomona’s Vincent
Cabral beat Gutierrez 6-4 in overtime in the third-place match. Seth Deaguero (21-7) was fifth at 152 pounds. Like Gutierrez, Deaguero split his first two matches. Deaguero won back-to-back matches in the consolation bracket, including a 7-5, overtime win against Legacy’s Blake Swearingen in the third round of the bracket. Nicholas Vasquez (27-14) did not place at 106 pounds. He split his two matches.

Basketball: PVHS’ Marrujo hits 1,000 points for his career BYSTEVESMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUITYMEDIA.COM
Prairie View’s Domonic Marrujo is a member of a club that sits at three members, at least through this boys basketball season. Marrujo joins ThunderHawks’ alums Kam Vincel and Trey Marble in the 1,000-point-for-a-career club. Marrujo joined the fraternity almost two weeks ago. Marrujo was aware he was getting close toward the latter part of the regular season. “It really didn’t affect my play or style of play because I always go into every
game with the same mindset – that’s just to go out there and do what I do and have fun,” Marrujo said. “When it started to get close, my teammates started giving me the ball more and trying to get me in my spots to score.” Marrujo is averaging more than 18 points, four rebounds and three assists a game this season. He averaged 14 points, three rebounds and two assists in the COVID-shortened season last year. “When I got into high school, I never actually thought I would hit this mark,” Marrujo said. “It never even came across my mind until I started to get closer by the game.”
Marrujo scored a game-high 26 points as the ThunderHawks knocked off rival Brighton 72-62 Feb. 18 on the Bulldogs’ floor. Tyson Roberts added 24, and Rashawn Salinas-Johnston added 17. Geo Velarde led Brighton’s scoresheet with 20 points. Jackson Kroll contributed 13, Sean Wadsworth scored a dozen and Calvin Doyle contributed 11. The state 5A tournament begins on Feb. 23. “During the off-season, I usually put up about 500 shots every day, and I always work on the parts of my game that I need to get better at, whether that’s defense, shooting, ball-handling, etc.,” Marrujo said.
He’s drawn some interest from a couple of colleges. He doesn’t care where he goes so long as he can play in college “and be in a place where I can get better and have fun.” There’s another side benefit for Marrujo. “Basketball has helped and changed me since I’ve been at Prairie View, because it has helped me meet new people and friends that I’ll have forever,” he said. “It has also taught me many life lessons, and it has helped me grow up.” Marrujo and the rest of the T-Hawks move into the state 5A tournament. PVHS travels to Columbine Wednesday, Feb. 23, for a first-round game.
