As Denver metro counties continue to inch closer to local stay-at-home orders under Colorado’s system of coronavirusrelated restrictions, the state announced a new level of rules that prohibits indoor dining and personal gatherings — a change that applies to the majority of the Denver metro area and many counties in other regions.

The state’s COVID-19 dial, which has been in effect since September, is the set of different levels of restrictions that each COURTESY PHOTO

Democrats in the state legislature on March 23 sent Gov. Jared Polis a bill affirming access to abortion and contraception in Colorado.

After the vote, Polis said he will sign the measure, House Bill 1279, into law.

The legislation passed the Senate on a 20-15, party-line vote after it was debated on the floor for about 13 hours on March 22 and then more than two hours on March 23 as Republicans fought the measure’s passage.

The bill was debated in the House earlier this month for 24 consecutive hours in what was one of the longest debates in the legislature’s history.

Democrats introduced the legislation in response to questions about the future of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision protecting the right to an abortion without excessive government restriction.

A day to honor medical excellence National Doctors Day honors doctors

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

COVID-19 did a lot of things to a lot of people, but three local doctors said it sharpened their focus on why they chose medicine as a profession.

“It made the world vulnerable, even mistrusting, yet brought some of us together more. It depends on how you want to view it and handle change,” said Brighton OB/GYN Oralee Ekberg.

Platte Valley Medical Center brought the three together in honor of National Doctors Day, March 30.

The day, signed into law in 1991 by President George H.W. Bush, recognizes doctors across the nation in appreciation for their dedication to saving lives and a celebration of medical advances.

We asked three doctors at Platte Valley Medical Center – Ekberg, Medical and EMS Director Candace Harrod and internal medicine and pulmonary doctor Shad Grubbs – to share their stories.

Right direction When Ekberg, an OB/GYN in Brighton, decided to go to medical school late in her career, she felt it was the right direction.

“I remember shadowing an orthopedic surgeon in Boulder, and he suggested that I go work in the medical field for a year and make sure that I really like it,” said Ekberg.

Ekberg attended the Osteopathic Medical School in Kansas City graduating in 1998 and finishing her residency in 2003.

“It was difficult, but I studied, trained, and learned what I needed to do for my job,” Exberg said.

Her first job in Brighton was at Brighton Community Hospital on Egbert Street, and it was that experience -- good and bad -- that shaped her into the doctor she is today.

What she loves most about being a doctor is meeting women every day and learning about parts of their lives.

During COVID, Ekberg was not on the frontlines as a GYN doctor. Ekberg said her colleagues dealt more with the women in labor who were positive for COVID, monitoring them for delivery and the virus’s symptoms. The impact of the virus caused anxiety for the medical staff.

“It really had no boundaries, and even if you did not get the virus, we all knew someone was affected in some way by COVID’s devastation.

So, the past two years did play havoc on everyone’s psyche,” said Ekberg.

Ekberg looks forward to things she will learn, meet people, and continue to grow to be a better doctor. She is also focusing on raising her children into their journeys of adulthood.

“I really do love what I do, whether I am at the office or in the operating room, I am happy and proud of my career choice,” said Ekberg.

Loved a challenge A few sports orthopedic surgeries in high school inspired Harrod to

go into physical therapy or become a doctor. When she attended medical college in Georgia in 2002, she did some volunteer work and chose medicine. She has been a physician for 21-years.

“I have always loved a challenge that medicine provided. I enjoy the lifelong learning required to be a physician,” said Harrod.

She remembered her first shift working in the emergency department as an emergency medicine intern.

“I was thinking it’s was going to be a wild ride. It certainly has lived up to more than I anticipated,” she said.

While working in the emergency department, Harrod had many particular patients with every type of situation, and it can also be emotional.

“Some are lives saved, and some we are providing dignity for the dying. We provide a diagnosis and comfort for the patient who had a terrible day,” she said.

Harrod said some days are more rewarding than others, but she holds on to the encounters that impacted someone’s positivity.

“A few lives saved can sustain me quite well through the challenging days,” said Harrod.

Harrod said it was very frightening when the COVID-19 virus hit because the physicians did not know if they could lose their lives or bring home COVID to their families.

“As fear subsided, it was incredibly sad and frustrating with how little we could do, sometimes to save a life. After the vaccine, there was far less fear and even hope that the end was in sight. 2021 left most of us very tired, and 2022 will, hopefully, be a new beginning we can come up for air and rejuvenate,” said Harrod.

Harrod looks forward to leading her group of doctors to provide the best quality care in the emergency department for the community.

“We will continue to be there for people on their worst day. I also look forward to bringing forward the next group of physician leaders,” Harrod said.

Science and dedication In elementary school, Grubbs developed an interest and passion for becoming a doctor.

He went to the University of Texas-Houston Medical School and completed his internal medicine and geriatrics programs at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and then came to Brighton

Dr. Shad Grubbs Brighton Internal Medicine & Pulmonary PHOTOS COURTESY PLATTE VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER

in 2002.

“I enjoyed the science and health subjects. I enjoyed the challenge and the necessity of being dedicated to education, studies and training requirements,” he said.

Grubbs remembered a unique patient, an older man he’d provided care for many years. The man came with a family member and wore different brand-new baseball caps with every visit.

“One visit, I commented on how I liked his hat. He immediately removed it and handed it to me.

While I did not want to take his hat from him, because of his culture, it would have been rude to refuse it,” said Grubbs. “I accepted his gift and have it still to this day. He demonstrated to me the principle of giving the shirt off of his back.

I have many wonderful individuals

like that who have blessed me over the years.”

Grubbs said it was an honor to serve patients and families during the last two years of the pandemic.

It was emotional and tearful when COVID entered the U.S. two years ago, especially when caring for his frail elderly patients at the nursing homes.

In November, Grubbs was on vacation for 10 days. When he left the facility, he had zero COVID cases.

When he returned, there was a large outbreak of COVID cases with numerous patients who had become symptomatic.

“I shed many tears the first day I entered rooms to provide care for the many that became ill. The next two months were sad and difficult for those who were ill and for the families that had visitation restrictions. But despite the difficulties, it was an honor to serve alongside so many heroic staff members. They worked so hard and tirelessly and with incredible love to try and help those in need,” said Grubbs.

His plans are to continue to provide care for the Brighton community and partner with many health services in the region.

“I have been able to have a unique perspective of working in a clinic, at the hospital, in nursing homes, rehab, assisted-living facilities and with hospice. I want to help all of those systems work well to the benefit of our community,” said Grubbs.

Solar co-op comes to Adams County

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Learning about installing solar power may come easier for residents of Adams County, Northglenn and Westminster who sign up for the new solar co-op.

All three have partnered with the nonprofit Solar United Neighbors to help homeowners and small businesses owners learn and purchase solar panels.

Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty talked about the importance of protecting the planet citing her experience as a mayor, educator and mom of two kids at the event’s march 23 kickoff at the Adams County Riverdale Regional Park.

“I want our kids to grow up in a healthy environment,” she said.

She expressed her city’s dedication to tackling the climate crisis and urged crucial haste local municipalities must take in addressing climate change.

One project she recalled is Northglenn City Hall becoming net-zero energy in the future, meaning the building will produce as much energy as it consumes. She hopes residents and businesses will do the same with their own property.

Joining the co-op, she said, gives residents the opportunity to learn more about whether solar makes sense for their situation, without any obligation.

Adams County Commissioner Lynn Baca welcomes residents to an informational session about a new regional effort to bring solar power to more homes while Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty listens.

Residents can join the co-op to receive information on how governments and non-profits can assist them with investing in solar panels. As well, electric chargers for electric vehicles are also available through the program.

The deadline to sign up for the co-op is Aug. 10.

Bryce Carter, the program director for Solar United Neighbors in Colorado, discusses how an Adams County Solar Co-op can help residents install rooftop solar systems on their homes. Carter’s group is working with Adams County, United Power and the cities of Northglenn and Thornton to help residents afford solar power. PHOTOS BY SCOTT TAYLOR

“We are not going to achieve our climate goals without investing in solar,” said Jonathan Rogers, a 2020 Denver Solar Co-Op Participant.

The Cost According to Bryce Carter, the Colorado Program Director for Solar United Neighbors, costs for solar have dropped 90% since 2010.

As well, a 26% federal tax credit for the total cost of the system is available. However, that will go down to 22% in 2023 and 0% in 2025.

With the tax credit, the net cost is around $10,456 with the payback period at 11.8 years, depending on size and energy use.

That is because spare electricity produced by the solar panels, not used by a home or business, can be sold back to the electric grid.

The cash credit will show up on electric bills: the total amount of electricity consumed minus the total amount of electricity produced, according to the Co-Ops website.

Common Concerns Living in Colorado, Carter said

a concern of snow blocking the sun from reaching the panels is common.

Carter explained that the snow coverage melts or slides off the panels relatively quickly due to the heat they produce.

For hail, Carter pointed to the 2017 hailstorm in Jefferson County. Of 3,000 panels his group tracks, only one was damaged due to the hail.

Solar Spaces South-facing roofs are optimum, roofs facing west or east are suitable, he said. But north facing are a no-go for solar panels. There also must be little to no shading from surrounding trees or buildings and at least 200 square feet of roof space to hold the solar panel array.

There are also many different technologies for accommodating different scenarios, including shingles, ground systems and fitting them to accommodate skylight windows.

Connecting the system to homes is relatively easy and is a very standard connection, Carter said.

Most homes don’t need any upgrades before adding solar.

eat again. The rest of the descent covered about four miles, most of which was straight downhill. The groups reached the base camp at 7 p.m.

“There was a vibe at that last camp,” Coleman said. “It was joyful, kind of like going to a state tournament, winning and then going for pizza afterward.”

A four-mile hike the next day closed out the expedition. Local reporters – Coleman described the group as a “gaggle” – were at the bottom of the mountain to greet the groups and chronicle the effort.

Park rangers used satellite radios to gather the press.

No one carried oxygen. If it was necessary, the guides sent the climbers back down the mountain.

FROM PAGE 1

Athletes, a worldwide group of some 900 athletes. Twenty-two of them, including Coleman, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro earlier in March. Twenty – Coleman included – reached the summit.

“The mission is to show people that you can donate a kidney and still do all the active things you used to do,” she said. “People think if you donate an organ, your life will be impacted negatively. That’s not true.”

Davis has battled genetic kidney disease for several years. She is fine; he is doing well, too.

In advance of the trip, Coleman said some people hiked both weekends hiking. Others went for long runs.

“Athletes are loose people. If you take long walks, go for hikes, run marathons, you are up and moving,” Coleman said. “I never thought I’d climb Kilimanjaro missing one kidney.”

Seven and a half days Coleman faced no surgery-related restrictions before the climb or during the summit. She hiked in the nearby mountains. She put dumbbells in her backpack, went to the Bison Ridge Recreation Center and worked out on a treadmill for an hour at a time.

“I can’t have Ibuprofen,” she said.

“I’ve hiked 14ers before and had headaches and took Ibuprofen. But there were other altitude medicines we could take. I never had any ill effects. I was eating a lot of food I wasn’t familiar with, but there was nothing related to my surgery.”

In addition to the 20 athletes, Coleman said there were more than 100 “porters” whose job was to cook, feed, carry gear up the mountain. The climb up took 7 ½ days.

“We’d wake up around 6 a.m., and the porters would ask us if we wanted coffee or tea, some water to wash our faces. They fixed us breakfast. We packed our bags each day and left them outside our tents, and the porters picked them up and took them to our next campsite.”

A couple of hours later, the day’s climb began, usually about four to seven miles per effort.

“As we started climbing the porters were carrying the tents we had and were passing us on the trail,” Coleman laughed. “I thought we’d have to catch up with them. There was a familial feel. We greeted them and spoke Swahili with them.”

The porters brought out hot chocolate and popcorn during the evenings. The climbers played cards, too, before they nodded off

to sleep.

“There was something terrific about the mountain every day,” Coleman said. “The first day, the temperature was 80 degrees. There were monkeys all over the place.

The next day, there was gunk in the air. There wasn’t much to look at.

We saw waterfalls and caves. Every day, there was something different.

It was neat and interesting.”

Summit day On summit day – and after eating breakfast -- the climbers hiked about three or four hours to the base camp, about 15,000 feet in elevation.

And ate some more.

“We had lunch. We rested. And then we had dinner about 4:00,” Coleman said. “We were in bed by 7 because we had to get up at 10:30.

Some didn’t sleep at all. I had practiced breathing exercises because I knew I needed to sleep.

“And I slept a lot,” she added. “It was cold. I slept with more clothes on than I usually wear. I was wearing so many layers, it was hard to move. I looked like the kid in ‘A Christmas Story.’”

At 10:30, it was time to get up – and eat some more. The 22 climbers split into two groups, and the final ascent began at midnight, the official beginning of World Kidney Day. It took about seven hours to reach the peak.

“The wind was blowing, and it

was dark. But the porters? They helped us. They were amazing,” Coleman said. “All we could see was this line of lights. About 5:30, the sun started to come up. We were above the clouds. The sun was bright red. It looked like a scene from ‘The Lion King.’ I had this moment of contentment. I couldn’t believe I was here doing this, that we were here, doing this. It was the most beautiful thing.”

The climbers had to go past a false peak – “there were glaciers all over the place, especially above Stella Point (the false peak)” -- before they reached the summit.

Atop the mountain Coleman and the other 19 who made the summit stayed for about 20 minutes.

“It was chaos at the top,” she said.

“But at 19,500 feet, it’s not safe to stay up there for very long. The porters were trying to get us off the mountain as fast as they could.

“It was so neat,” Coleman added.

“Very few people get to this final point. We started taking pictures.

Some people were crying. Some carried their cameras. I thought my iPhone would work fine. The moment was amazing. “We should have 40 kidneys up here, but only 20 were here.”

Then it was time to go back down the mountain. Two and a half hours later, they made their first stop, which meant it was time to

In closing Coleman took some time to reflect on the climb’s benefits, including a new “family.”

“I met a group of people. I gained more than I ever thought I would,” Coleman said. “My uncle has had a genetic kidney disease. But he is one of the most positive and generally gritty people I’ve ever met. I thought of him when things were tough, when the wind was blowing, when it was raining. He’s fought this his whole life.”

There are several so-called “One Kidney Clubs” in the country. The National Kidney Donation Organization website says more than 3,000 people are added to the national donation list every month. Thirteen people die every day while waiting for a transplant. The people on the transplant list total more than 100,000.

“We’ve done things that few people have done,” she added. “When we got to the top, it was the icing on the cake for the journey we’ve been on.”

Some of the climbers donated their kidneys to people who either weren’t related or weren’t known to the donors. Coleman called that “overwhelming.”

“I hope this shows people you can do everything and more after you donate,” Coleman said. “You can save someone else’s life in the process and live your life to the fullest.

One hundred thousand people need kidneys. More people need kidneys than what’s available.

“Not everyone can donate. But there are so many ways you can impact people’s lives for the better,” Coleman concluded. “I can’t make the world change. I’m just a small person in a small town. But everyone can make someone’s life better – shoveling a sidewalk, volunteering with Alzheimer’s patients.

“The biggest message is this. If you can help someone, you should.”

ment, which would require approval by 55% of voters, could more permanently settle the question.

Colorado voters have consistently rejected ballot measures seeking to restrict abortion access.

Abortion rights groups are considering whether to pursue a ballot measure in 2024 enshrining abortion access in Colorado’s constitution.

27J selects Oldweiler as Pennock principal STAFF REPORT

An assistant principal in the Boulder Valley School district has been picked as the new principal for Brighton’s Pennock Elementary School.

27J Schools Superintendent Chris Feidler announced this week that Jennifer Oldweiler has been named the new principal for Pennock.

“I am so excited to join the Pennock community. My values are in line with what I’ve learned are those of the school’s staff, students and families,” Oldweiler said. “I’m excited to work alongside them to improve outcomes for each of our Panthers and am looking forward to

P

learning all about the traditions that exist at Pennock and participating in them!”

Oldweiler comes to 27J Schools by way of the Boulder Valley School District where she’s currently the assistant principal at Aspen Creek K-8 School in Broomfield. In this role she supports classroom teachers with implementing district curriculum, classroom management, developing staff training, and she leads a variety of school committees, among other duties.

“We’re so pleased to welcome Oldweiler into 27J Schools,” 27J Deputy Superintendent Will Pierce said. “She has that perfect balance of being able to motivate others to

achieve at high levels while being a very successful school administrator who manages a plethora of projects simultaneously.”

While previously serving as assistant principal at Rocky Top Middle School, Thornton, she helped lead the school’s work culminating in Rocky Top being named a Colorado Trailblazer School-to-Watch in 2019.

Her school was evaluated by education experts who sought high-performing middle-grade schools that are academically excellent, responsive to the developmental challenges of young adolescents, and socially equitable while holding high expectations for all students.

Parents are a critical component

of any successful school, according to Oldweiler. She routinely meets with parents to understand concerns and to capitalize on their innovative ideas and motivational strategies.

“No one knows our children better than their families,” she said.

“When families know their children are safe, there are opportunities to be involved in the school, and families feel comfortable communicating with the school, then we are better able to meet the needs of our children. We are a team working together for the success of our students.”

Oldweiler begins her new role at Pennock Elementary School on July 1.
