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 e state’sregions.COVID-19 dial, which has been in e ect since September, is the set of di erent levels of restrictions that each county is required to follow based on the severity of a county’s local virus spread. e dial grew out of the state’s safer-athome order — the policy that came a er the statewide stay-at-home order this spring and allowed numerous types of businesses to reopen. e state recently switched to color identi ers — levels blue, yellow and orange rather than numbered levels — to avoid confusion. Until Nov. 17, level red meant a stay-at-home order. Now, level red — “severe risk” — is the secondPlease see RESTRICTIONS, Page 2

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- ve 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.

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
DENVER – Even though Colorado High School Activities Association Commissioner Mike Krueger admitted to feeling like he was “drinking water from a fire hose” early in his new job, he outlined some specific goals during CHSAA’s media day at Empower Field on Aug. 15. One of those has to do with the shortage of game officials. Before anyone’s football season could begin, schools were changing dates and times to make sure there were enough referees to work the games. He said there were some short-term answers, but he’s focusing on a long-term strategy.Partof the effort involves the creation of a task force from schools, officials and various communities. One piece of that is asking soon-to-be former highschool athletes if they want to continue on as game officials in their specific sport. Another is the education of officials.
“Most of our schools do a great job. But we also have more than 90 new athletic directors this year,” he said. “We have to train people to give our officials a room to change, a bottle of water. If we show appreciation to the officials, that goes a long way.”
“We have a lot of identified issues,” Krueger said. “But I like to quote Albert Einstein, who said, ‘If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.’ We need to have all of the stakeholders at the table and find solutions that work for everybody – the schools, community leaders and the officials. We have to be broad in our thinking.”
Krueger outlines goals as CHSAA commissioner
Krueger said moving games off the traditional Friday night schedule has a big impact. “Officials are a vital part of the success of our program. We know there is going to be a lot of work ahead of us,” Krueger said. “It’s something we deal with daily. We meet with the assignors across the state. We’re meeting with the leagues. We’ve headed out south, out east. It’s a real unified effort.” Other topics/new faces Game officials weren’t the only thing on Krueger’s mind. CHSAA and the Denver Broncos teamed up to further interest in girls’ flag football. It could become a CHSAA-sanctioned sport in two to three years. “We hope we can continue to expand and offer opportunities to girls who want to play football at the high school level,” Krueger said. “There’s been an increase in participation by females in football. They love to play.” Krueger spent the last four years working with U.S.A. Football, “where I gained an incredible background of medical knowledge and sports science all the way down to youth football.” Krueger also introduced Mike Book, one of CHSAA’s new assistant commissioners. He’ll be in charge of golf, swimming and diving and the state’s officials. He takes over for Tom Robinson, who passed away earlier this year. Another new assistant commissioner, John Sullivan, was on hand. He’s in charge of baseball, football, softball and wrestling.
