Mask order issued for Arapahoe, Adams counties Jeffco, Denver also get mandate; Douglas County passes BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“It’s definitely back,” said Kelli Boswell, owner of Lice & Easy, an Arvada boutique where people in the Denver area can get deloused, a process that can range from minutes to hours depending on the method and the infestation. “It’s a sign that things are coming back to normal.” Colds and more serious bugs like respiratory syncytial virus, better
Facing the possibility that the current COVID-19 surge could breach Colorado’s hospital capacity, the public health agency for Adams and Arapahoe counties has issued a new indoor mask-wearing mandate, effective Nov. 24 through at least the end of the year. The Nov. 22 mask order from the Tri-County Health Department’s board echoed those from health authorities in Jefferson County, Denver and some other counties, while Douglas County leaders signaled Nov. 23 they don’t plan to require the wearing of masks. Hospital demand was the driving force behind the action by the board of Tri-County Health — which serves Adams and Arapahoe counties and provides certain services in Douglas County — to approve the new mask mandate. With rates of new coronavirus cases reaching levels not seen since last December — and daily deaths among those with COVID-19 recently hitting numbers higher than they did during the first wave in spring 2020 — coronavirus hospitalizations

A COVID head-scratcher: Why lice lurk despite distancing Head lice are ‘definitely back,’ professional delouser says BY RAE ELLEN BICHELL KAISER HEALTH NEWS
The Marker family of Parker opened their door on a recent evening to a woman dressed in purple,

Ambulance becomes mobile mental health clinic Program for LGBTQ+ youths run by Joy as Resistance BY AMANDA HORVATH AND ALEXIS KIKOEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
A new ambulance is now rolling around the Denver metro area, but not to pick up emergency patients. Instead, this repurposed, retired ambulance will be taking care of people in a different way. The ambulance has VIDEO, been transformed into a mobile mental MORE health clinic run by PHOTOS Joy as Resistance, a ONLINE nonprofit organization that focuses See a on LGBTQ+ youth through mental health Rocky Mounand wellness services. tain PBS video report Those services on this story includes partnerand more ing with schools and photos at other nonprofits, a tinyurl.com/ mentorship program RMPBSMoand individual and bile group mental health sessions.

for each clinician with Joy as Resistance. But there were some complications and barriers with that idea, so Donnelly started looking for a smaller option. “I was on the auction websites for a really long time looking for something. And then in Arvada on Craigslist this ambulance popped up,” explained Donnelly. “So I was like, ‘OK, this could be interesting.’ I went inside, it was in really good condition; hasn’t been driven or super worn down since it was retired as an ambulance, so I was really excited to have that.” Through a grant from The Colorado Trust, a health equity foundation, Donnelly’s organization was able to buy the retired ambulance and transform it into a mobile mental health clinic. “So the mobile clinic was kind of an option to eliminate the barrier of transportation as much as possible,” said Donnelly. “Even if it’s in your neighborhood or at your school, as opposed to in central Denver and like an office. (The mobile clinic) is a lot more accessible for our young people.” Donnelly has seen the need for these mental health services throughout her life, from her time growing up in Colorado to working
y i i as a school social worker in Denver a Public Schools. “I was a queer youth in Colorado, h so I’m from Colorado. And so mentalg I health has been a big part of my journey,” said Donnelly. “So I know, y like, firsthand how isolating it can a o be to be queer in a space where I you’re not comfortable being out or open or even having anybody to a s process with or any adults (with t whom) you’re like, ‘Hey, you’re queer, what’s that about?’” w The importance of having an adult to look up to and to ask ques- s b tions of is something Donnelly is addressing in a couple of different s ways with her organization. Joy as t c Resistance also has a mentorship p program called Big Queer, Little Queer. It pairs adults with kids who are looking for guidance with h a program that is monitored by the h s organization. As Donnelly tried to find different solutions to problems she was h seeing, she worked with community i j partners as well as teachers and w schools to fill the gaps in care. “I know that like the school men- s r tal health professionals are super tired and burned out and being the j only one for like 300 to 500 students n PHOTOS BY ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

is impossible,” said Donnelly. Caring for kids recently has become even more of a challenge. The pandemic kept people separated and often put more strains on mental health. The Trevor Project’s 2021 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health highlights the need for mental health support, especially now. They surveyed nearly 35,000 LGBTQ+ youth 13 to 24 years old across the United States. The survey found 42% of LGBTQ+ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including more than half of transgender and nonbinary youth. The rates also varied based on how youth identified within the group. For example, 31% of Native/ Indigenous youth, 21% of Black youth, and 21% multiracial youth attempted suicide compared to 18% of Latinx, 12% of Asian/Pacific Islander, and 12% white youth. It also found more than 80% of those surveyed, said that COVID-19 made their living situation more stressful. “So the pandemic happened, which made it, like, 10 times worse,” said Donnelly. “Then, people really began to see mental health as essential not only to learning, but just to living your day-to-day life, especially with the things that our young people are facing right now.” Though this last year and a half has been especially hard, Donnelly has seen a lot of happiness and strength worth celebrating. “The community has so much history of so much resilience and incredible courage and bravery and joy as well,” said Donnelly. “And so we also wanted to highlight those stories and to really highlight that resilience of this community, the joy, the celebration of this community, along with the things that we also face as a community.” Part of that celebration happened Nov. 14, when Joy as Resistance held its official launch party for the mobile mental health clinic at Denver’s Central Park. Inside the pavilion at the park, about 30 people packed the room to hear from Donnelly and others part of the organization. Holding back tears, Donnelly spoke about what a long time coming this launch has been. “I really wanted to take this concept as joy and spread it in every which direction and in any way I could, personally, professionally... any space I was in to bring that joy,” Donnelly told the crowd as she explained her mission when starting Joy as Resistance. Just days before the launch party,
the Joy as Resistance team met to decorate the inside of the ambulance and transform it from a clinic to a safe space for kids. They added pillows, blankets, artwork, and Donnelly’s favorite piece: a disco ball. “So really recreating and reclaiming this space for coziness, for warmth, for healing was really important to me. So there are a lot of details that you’ll see as we decorate it that really came together with that intention in mind and knowing that there’s a lot there to unpack with ambulances,” said Donnelly. The future isn’t set in stone for this mobile clinic. For now, Donnelly and the other clinician will use it with their current clients to meet them where they are. In the future, the clinic may park in various parts of the city on certain days or partner with schools or organizations to be nearby on particular days, whatever the community says it needs. “So to have something like this that could just pull up — I don’t need to use the space in a school. You don’t need to logistically or operationally figure out all of those issues. We can just pull this up. They can come in, they can go back into school, and that’s done,” said Donnelly. Clinic sessions have a cost associated with them, and Donnelly says they work on a sliding scale with each individual to find something that works. Most importantly, Donnelly wants young people to know there is someone here to listen to them. “I think the issues that face this community are as multifaceted as the people themselves. And so it’s important to highlight each individual person’s experience in that,” explained Donnelly. “I think there’s things that are stifling about the way that we approach LGBTQ youth. It can be very dismissive and minimizing. And so that’s something I see a lot, especially from adults to young people of just this, like, ‘Oh, you don’t know yet, it’s a phase ... this is not what you’re going gonna look like.’ And that creates a lot of seeds of doubt in the young people that we serve,” Donnelly said. “And so one of the things that I work on the most with people is their confidence in showing up [as] who they are and being able to say, ‘No, these are my boundaries; these are my needs. And it’s OK that I have these boundaries and needs. And you will also respect these boundaries and needs.’” This story is from Rocky Mountain PBS, a nonprofit public broadcaster providing community stories across Colorado over the air and online.

Veteran news leader named Colorado Community Media editor
Lisa Schlichtman will oversee CCM’s 8-county news operation STAFF REPORT
The next editor-in-chief of Colorado Community Media is Lisa Schlichtman, an experienced, award-winning news executive and an industry leader. CCM Publisher Linda Shapley made the announcement Nov. 29. “I’ve been familiar with Lisa’s award-winning leadership for a number of years, and to have someone with her passion and talent guiding our journalists at Colorado Community Media will mean great things as we look to grow our brand,” she said. Schlichtman, until recently the editor of the Steamboat Pilot & Today newspaper, joins CCM on Jan. 3. “I am thrilled to join Colorado Community Media and take on the new role of editor-in-chief,” Schlichtman said. “I look forward to sharing my years of experience in the newspaper industry with CCM’s talented team of reporters and editors with the goal of connecting the communities we serve through engaging, locally-focused content and impactful journalism.” Schlichtman will lead the news teams of CCM’s two dozen Colorado newspapers and websites as well as other publications. CCM was sold earlier this year by Jerry and Ann Healey to The Colorado News Conservancy, a partnership of The Colorado
Sun and the National Trust for Local News dedicated to fostering community journalism. CCM newspapers serve Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld counties. “Our publications have tremendous potential and reach, and it is exciting to be part of the newly established Colorado News Conservancy,” Schlichtman said. Schlichtman succeeds Mark Harden, who retired as CCM editor last fall but has been serving on an interim basis since July while the search was underway for a permanent editor. Harden steps down Dec. 16. “Lisa is just the sort of dynamic, innovative, experienced news leader who can help CCM reach its greatest potential,” Harden said. “I am so pleased she has agreed to join us and I wish her great success.” Since July 2013, Schlichtman has been editor of the Pilot & Today, a daily newspaper founded in 1885 and serving Steamboat Springs and Routt County. Schlichtman and her staff received the Colorado Press Association’s 2020 News Leader of the Year award for a multiplatform, in-depth reporting series, “Indivisible,” which focused on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in Routt County and efforts to bridge divides. CPA named the Pilot & Today the state’s best newspaper in its size class for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019. And the newspaper under Schlichtman also received the 2019 Presidential Award from the Colorado Organization for Victim

Indoor mask wearing required again in Denver Hancock cites ‘dangerous pressure on our hospitals’ BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock announced Nov. 23 that the City and County of Denver was implementing a mask mandate starting Nov. 24 that requires face coverings in most indoor settings for anyone ages 2 and up as a COVID-19 safety measure. “Absent additional statewide measures to address this current challenge, regional protective actions have become necessary to reduce the dangerous pressure on our hospitals,” Hancock said. The new public health order will last until January 3, 2022, and could be extended if necessary. Hancock called the order a “vax/ mask mandate,” because businesses and venues that require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 will not have to require masks. The mayor emphasized that the mask mandate would not be needed if more people had been vaccinated. “If other communities in Colorado and around the country took the affirmative steps we have taken around vaccines, the pandemic would be under control,” Hancock said. Earlier this year, Denver introduced a public health order requiring all city employees, including

some private sector entities in highrisk settings, to be fully vaccinated. Speaking at the Nov. 23 press conference, Bob McDonald, executive director of Denver’s Department of Public Health & Environment, expressed frustration with unvaccinated people. “We are here today because too many people chose not to get vaccinated even though they were eligible,” he said. Hancock said the mask mandate was necessary to ensure businesses and schools could remain open, as well as to reduce the strain on area hospitals. “We are at a point of breaking. The hospitals of the Denver metro area are full,” said Denver Health CEO Dawn Wittenstein, who also spoke at the press conference. The mayor’s announcement comes
less than 24 hours after the TriCounty Health Department voted to approve an indoor mask mandate for Adams and Arapahoe counties. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, acknowledged that the new mandate won’t be celebrated by all. “We didn’t undertake this to win a popularity contest,” Douglas said. “We undertook this because our reading of the situation is that there are substantial downsides that are going to (occur) if we breach hospital capacity and have to ration care.” Businesses in Adams and Arapahoe County are exempt from the mask mandate if they require staff and visitors to be fully vaccinated. Also on Nov. 22, Jefferson County Public Health’s board voted 4-1 to institute a health ordinance requiring people ages 3 and up to wear masks when in public indoor spaces. Those counties are all included in the public health order from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, issued earlier this month, that requires anyone who attends a public, indoor event with 500 or more people to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Colorado is above average in terms of vaccinations. According to data analysis from NPR, Colorado ranks 16th in the country in terms of the percentage of adults who are fully vaccinated. We are 15th in terms of the percentage of the total population that is vaccinated. The numbers are even more impressive in the counties that have

now instituted a mask order: Among Coloradans 12 and older, as of Nov. 23, the vaccination rate is 80.4% in Denver County, 78.4% in Jefferson County, 74% in Arapahoe County and 72.1% in Adams County. However, hospitalizations continue to climb across the state. The latest data from CDPHE show more than 1,500 people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, nearing the record-high 1,841 set in December 2020, before vaccines were widely available (and before the highly contagious delta variant of COVID-19 took over Colorado). Over 80% of people currently hospitalized with COVID-19 are not vaccinated. What’s more, hospital bed capacity is at a pandemic low. The first statewide mask mandate was issued in July 2020, and lasted about 10 months. In May of this year, Gov. Jared Polis announced that fully vaccinated Coloradans could ditch their masks in most indoor settings. Again, that was before the delta surge. But despite the surging cases and hospitalizations, Polis has declined to re-implement a statewide mask order, instead leaving the decision to individual public health agencies.

Canine candidates compete to be Littleton’s next dog mayor BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Election season isn’t over yet for voters in Littleton, who have an important decision to make within the coming days: Which canine friend will lead the city as its honorary dog mayor? Hosted by the nonprofit Historic Littleton Inc., 10 dogs are in the running to be elected as the city’s first-ever dog mayor with voting set to end on Dec. 7. Katherine Roxborough, who serves on Historic Littleton’s board, said the election presents an opportunity to raise more awareness about the nonprofit’s mission of preserving the city’s historical sites. “The dog mayor really can bring interest across all members of our com-
munity,” she said. “(The dog mayor) will be a spokesperson to draw people in to listen to our message.” The timing of the mayoral election was also intentional, said Roxborough, as it comes off the heels of the election of the city’s new (human) mayor, Kyle Schlachter. Schlachter was the first mayor in decades to be elected directly by voters, a break from the past tradition of city council appointing the mayor from among their ranks. From Nov. 1 to Nov. 22, dog owners across the city nominated their canine candidate in posts featured on the nonprofit’s Instagram. Many were photographed near historic buildings and included brief historical tidbits that showed the owner’s knowledge of the site.
Some dogs were even fashioned in attire befitting of the area’s historical significance, such as a judge outside the Littleton Municipal Courthouse, or a firefighter outside the city’s historic fire engines. Roxborough said 10 candidates were chosen and put forward as finalists for mayor. As of Sunday, Nov. 29, Roxborough said more than 1,000 people had voted. The dog mayor will serve a two-year term with elections set to continue in the future, said Roxborough, who added that the dog mayor election will coincide with Littleton’s council elections. Along with representing Littleton and its historical sites, the dog mayor may play a role in future city events and marketing. When asked if voters can expect certain policy changes

to get their question before voters in 2022. They needed at least 124,632 signatures to qualify for the ballot. The measure is being pushed by conservatives, including Jon Caldara, who leads the Independence Institute. The initiative seeks to reduce the income tax rate to
4.4% from 4.55%. Nonpartisan legislative staff estimated in April that the measure would reduce state general fund revenue by $530 million in fiscal year 202223 and $370 million in fiscal year 2023-24. Separately, Colorado voters are already going to see a temporary income tax rate
reduction to 4.5% for the foreseeable future because the state is projected to exceed the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights cap on government growth and spending for at least the next three fiscal years, triggering the rate reduction. In 2020, Colorado voters approved Proposition 116, which reduced the state income tax
rate to 4.55% from 4.63%. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state. For more, and to support The Colorado Sun, visit coloradosun.com. The Colorado Sun is a partner in the Colorado News Conservancy, owner of Colorado Community Media.

VOICES
In the spirit of the season of giving and receiving
H
ere we are in another season of giving and receiving. The truth is that we are always in a season of giving and receiving, this time of year WINNING just amplifies the WORDS spirit of both. And we have all heard that it is far better to give than it is to receive. This may be true, but there are times when it is equally awesome to receive. Michael Norton Giving comes in many ways. We can give in the form of money, resources and time. We can give gifts and presents. We can give back to a cause or community, or maybe we can give back to a person or family who had helped us out when we needed it. We can give through charities and organizations. Many
R
companies, houses of worship, and other organizations have “Giving Trees” where we can choose to help people and families in need. And we can do all our giving, no matter what it may be, silently and anonymously. What’s it like to be on the receiving end of gifting? For many of us, no matter where we find ourselves today, we have been in a position of need. We may have had a difficult season of life. We may have endured a tragedy or hardship. There may have been a time when unexpectedly we found ourselves out of work. Or we may have had an illness or injury that left us unable to care for ourselves or a loved one. Many of us who can relate to any of these situations, when someone stepped up to help, know just how humbling receiving can feel. Think of the greatest gift that we have ever received. Maybe it’s the nicest and most expensive, but something tells me it’s not.
More than likely, if we give it some deeper thought, we will remember the time our in-laws loaned us a few dollars to cover our mortgage. Or our neighbors stepped up and purchased our groceries. Maybe it was a time when each friend cooked a meal for us as we balanced being with our spouse in the hospital and taking care of our children. The gift could have been an introduction to an executive who had a job opening at a time when we needed work. The gift could have simply been a hug, a night out with a close friend, some overdue laughs over coffee or a beer. Being on the receiving end of a gift is humbling. Sometimes, if we let it, it could be embarrassing. This is where I hope to change our thinking about that as there is no shame in accepting any form of help. You see, in the last paragraph where I listed the types of gifts we could receive, each one of those is an example of a gift I have received in my own life. A gift that came at just the
right time. Some came from family, some came from friends, and some came from strangers. And all were received with humble gratitude. This holiday season, I encourage us to give the gift of giving and receiving. There are so many opportunities right in front of us to give of our money, resources, time and talents. And should we find ourselves in the need of a hand up, or a little or a lot of help, let us receive it gratefully and humbly, without reservation or shame. Let’s receive it all in the spirit of love in which it is being given. As a way of giving back, each year I offer free keynote speeches on the topics I cover in this column throughout the year; Winning Words; Hope and Encouragement; Motivation and Inspiration. If your organization or company would benefit from such a talk, please let me know. And if you would like to SEE NORTON, P13
This GOP candidate has a shot at statewide office
ecently I received an unexpected call from Pam Anderson, an announced candidate for Colorado secretary of state. As friends GUEST for more than 15 COLUMN years, it was good to catch up. It was even better to thank her for running. Anderson is exactly the kind of secretary of state Colorado needs and deserves. Mario Nicolais Previously a municipal clerk, a Jefferson County clerk and recorder and a former executive director for the Colorado County Clerks Association, Anderson has an unparalleled depth of experience and expertise. For more than a decade she has led the charge to provide safe, accessible ballots to Coloradans. She is also likely the best hope for Republicans searching for a shred of relevance in state government. At the top of the ticket, party regulars understand their gubernatorial front-runner, Heidi Ganahl, has little chance to topple Gov. Jared Polis next November. Anderson is also well inoculated from some of the most effective attacks favored by Democrats.

Namely, she is effectively immune from being labeled as a de facto proponent of the Big Lie — false claims about Donald Trump winning the 2020 election — or as an opponent of voting rights. To the contrary, last December Anderson both stated that the election results were valid and testified at the state legislature that they were free from fraud. She did not waver from that position even as she kicked off her campaign. That is notable for a Republican seeking to oversee elections. It demonstrates character and integrity. And it could be a big help next fall. Beating back false narratives about election fraud requires bipartisan advocacy. While Democrats are expected to take that position, it is uncommon in Republican circles. Consequently, it is relatively more useful and important to elect members of the GOP willing to stick their necks out. It also is not a surprise for anyone familiar with Anderson’s career. She has always been willing to put what is right before what is politically beneficial. During Republican former Secretary of State Scott Gessler’s term in office, she publicly disagreed with him on multiple matters, including his assertions of rampant voter
fraud. She became a leading advocate for universal mail ballots in 2013, helping to pass legislation that made Colorado a model for other states. Yet she also pushed for accountability and transparency through ballot audit programs. Anderson likely learned such independence from people like her mother-in-law, former Colorado Senate Majority Leader Norma Anderson. Hopefully she learned how to win a rough-and-tumble campaign as well. Despite her sterling qualifications, Anderson will have an uphill battle. Incumbent Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold will be even more formidable than she was when she unseated former Secretary Wayne Williams four years ago. Griswold has been the most partisan secretary in recent memory. She has used her office to garner national cameos on liberal talk shows and advocate against issues in other states nongermane to her duties. But that approach has helped her to gain a significant social media following, a national fundraising base and more than a million dollars in her campaign coffers. Griswold will be hard to beat, even for an eminently qualified candidate like Anderson.

But it is not impossible. While other candidates on the ticket may be tilting at windmills, there is a legitimate path to victory for Anderson. With Trump out of office, Griswold cannot rely on an energetic base. To the contrary, Anderson may get a boost from the midterm election. Furthermore, Griswold has seen unprecedented turnover in her office over the past three years. That is the kind of red flag that may worry voters. I am sure that there will be plenty of twists and turns for Anderson over the next 12 months. But if Colorado is lucky, at this time next year she will be preparing to take office rather than calling to catch up with people like me.

LICE known by the shorthand RSV, are also back. That may leave some to wonder: With all the covid prevention measures in place, how are kids sharing these things? Like the coronavirus, all these bugs depend on human sociability. Unfortunately, the measures that many reopened schools have taken to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 — masks, hand-washing, vaccination — do little to deter the spread of the head louse. However, physical distancing, such as spacing desks 3 feet apart, should be helping, if it’s actually happening. Lice are, in theory, harder to spread than the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 because proximity alone isn’t enough: They usually need head-to-head contact. If a kid gets lice, odds are it means that kid spent some quality time close enough to another kid for the parasite to make its move. (Researchers tend to agree that transmission via inanimate objects like combs and hats is minimal.) The head louse is not known for its fortitude or athletic prowess. It’s basically the couch potato of pests. Adults can’t survive more than a day or two without snacking on blood. Their eggs can’t hatch without the warmth of a human head, and will die within about a week if not in those cozy conditions. The bugs can’t jump or fly — only crawl. The one thing going for the head louse is its highly specialized claws, evolved to grasp human hair. Unlike the body louse, the head louse isn’t known to spread disease. An infestation doesn’t indicate anything about a person’s hygiene. (In fact, the lore of delousers says that the bugs prefer clean hair because it’s more grabbable.) And despite common misconceptions, they can colonize people of all ages, races and ethnicities. COVID lockdowns were not great from a louse-world-domination standpoint. But the critters have been bonding with us for tens of thousands of years. A little lockdown wasn’t going to end the romance. Federico Galassi, a researcher with Argentina’s Pest and Insecticide Research Center, found that strict early covid lockdowns did, indeed, lead to a decline in head lice among kids in Buenos Aires, but the bugs came nowhere close to being eliminated. His study found prevalence dropped from about 70% to about 44%. And one thing is clear: When people shut their doors and hunkered down in early lockdowns, the lice were right there hunkered down with us. When SaLeah Snelling reopened the doors of her Lice Clinics of
America salon in Boise, Idaho, in May, she said, “the cases of head lice were heavier than we’ve ever seen.” And it wasn’t just one or two people in the household with lice, but the entire household. Now, Galassi and American louse workers say, infestation rates are back to pre-lockdown norms, despite school covid protections. Nix, a brand of anti-louse products, publishes a map that claims lice are bad right now in Houston, most of Alabama and New Mexico, plus Tulsa, Oklahoma. The map directs people to locations that carry its products since many parents use a DIY approach once they spy the critter on a child’s head. Richard Pollack, chief scientific officer with pro-bono pestidentification service IdentifyUS, said most claims about louse prevalence are “marketing nonsense” from a largely unregulated industry focused on apparent infestations that often turn out to be just dandruff, glitter, hair spray, grass-dwelling springtail insects, innocuous fungus or even cookie crumbs. It’s possible that the recent increase in business for professional nitpickery suggests that people are now comfortable seeking help outside the home rather than its being a sign of a surge in the bugs. While little research exists to confirm whether there is a rise in lice, Boswell, Pollack and even the National Association of School Nurses agree: The bugs aren’t likely spreading in the classroom because in-school louse transmission is considered rare. Instead, Boswell said, it’s more likely that as other activities resumed — sleepovers, play dates, summer camp, family gatherings — the bugs prospered once more. Pollack once wrote in a presentation slide, “Head lice indicate that the child has friends.” Preschoolers tend to get the infestations the most “because they’re more cuddly,” said Julia Wilson, co-owner of Rocky Mountain Lice Removal in Lafayette. But she has also noticed a rise among teenagers, which she ascribes to taking selfies with pals. “You say to them, ‘Have you touched heads?’ and the teenager’s like, ‘No, never,’” said Wilson. “And then all of a sudden, they’re literally taking a selfie photo with their friends.” The Marker family isn’t sure where third grader Huntley’s lice originated. Perhaps a close friend or her dance team? The Markers spent more than $200 to get the four-person household checked — eyebrows and Dad’s beard included. Her dad and her preschool-aged brother were free of nits. But Holmes did find a couple of nits on Huntley’s mom, Paris. “You can just burn my whole head right now,” said Paris. After combing each head carefully, Holmes ended the session by hugging her customers goodbye,

endors at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market are excited to have conversations with people and help shoppers find the perfect gift. “People like to support local businesses,” said Erik Swanson, owner and founder of The Log Candle. “Especially when it’s something that somebody made out of their garage.” The Log Candle is a unique item that Swanson came about through what he called a “happy accident.” Swanson has a background in graphic design, but enjoyed dabbling in woodworking as a hobby. He set out to make a birdhouse in the late spring of 2020, and by June that year, he ended up creating his Log Candle. Swanson later left his cubicle job and started making the Log Candles full time — selling them at the Mile High Flea Market and outdoor arts-and-crafts markets throughout the metro area. “People seem to really enjoy them,” Swanson said. “It’s something they have never seen before.” The Log Candle is, like it sounds, a candle made out of a small log. The logs come from local tree trimmers, Swanson said. When wax is added, it feeds the flame, which spreads across the top, creating the candle effect. It
is meant for outdoor use, and people have enjoyed them for their patios, balconies and porches, Swanson said, adding that some people have even taken them on camping trips. Swanson, of Englewood, is one 30 vendors at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market, and many of the 30 are local crafters/artisans or small business owners. The market, produced by Fetch Concepts and now in its second year, opened on Nov. 18 and runs through Dec. 24. It is located on Fillmore Street between First and Second Avenues. A family business Madison Stewart’s sons are tending House of Stewart’s booth at the market this year. “They like the fun atmosphere” of the holiday market, she said, “and that people like tasting the candies.” The House of Stewart makes traditional Scottish candies. This includes caramels and the Scottish tablet, which isn’t found in the U.S., except for rare occasions such as world markets, said Stewart, owner and founder of the Denver-based business. The House of Stewart got its start in May 2016. Stewart is an Army veteran and went to law school — the only baking she did was on the weekends for her family. “I never imagined a career in the candy business,” Stewart said. However, she frequently traveled back-and-

forth to Scotland on leisure trips and enjoyed the Scottish candies so much that she would bring back as many that she could. “Then I decided that other Americans would probably enjoy the candies as well,” Stewart said. Today, House of Stewart candies and confections ship across the U.S., and Stewart is looking to open a storefront in Las Vegas early 2022. People enjoy the candies and fancy packaging, which is catered to adults, Stewart said. The candies are great for parties or gifts — “And for yourself,” Stewart said. “If you’ve had a hard day and want to treat yourself, why wait for a special occasion?” SEE MARKET, P24

Museum shares works of Americans in France Paintings from 1855-1913 on display at Denver Art Museum BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Whistler to Cassatt: American Painters in France,” now open at the Denver Art Museum through March 13, includes more than 100 paintings created between 1855 and 1913 by American painters, some who studied in official and private academies and some who roamed the city and countryside, painting images. In preceding years, according to Curator Emeritus Timothy Standring, there was a focus on how paintings were done, consideration of the academic technique of the work, but by the period covered, concern had moved to what the painting said about a subject. Controversy still existed over what was most important in a work of art ... (As it does today!) This exhibit is an absolute pleasure to contemplate for the lush colors in art that pop against deeply toned walls. Take a deep breath and start walking. Art is hung “salon style,” with a mix of sizes and subjects rather than with all in a neat row. “Do you know how brave it is to tell lenders that work will be hung salon style?” Standring commented. At the turn of the century, Paris was the center of the art world and acceptance in the Salon (started in 1775) was a goal for artists from France, America and elsewhere. James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt were among the Americans who arrived to study. Cassatt, who was 21 when she arrived in Paris, had particular challenges as women were not accepted to the prestigious Ecole des BeauxArtes, nor allowed to socialize in cafes where male artists gathered. But her introductory portfolio was so accomplished that she was accepted in the atelier of Jean-Leon Gerome and supplemented her studies by making copies of masterworks at the Louvre, which she could sell. We are told that she formed a close friendship with painter Edgar Degas. Other American women artists with works exhibited include Elizabeth Jane Gardner, Cecelia Beaux, Lila Cabot Perry and Elizabeth Nourse. Standring commented that it has taken 10 years to get this show together. “It becomes more and more difficult to stage a major loan show, with shipping and couriers.” The museum staff has worked steadily on the project. “Americans could have gone to Dusseldorf, Rome, London,” Standring said as he started his press tour comments. But Paris won their initial interest and they spread out into the picturesque countryside as well. There are 18 paintings by Cassatt, who did have work accepted/ exhibited in the Salon. Included are early works, such as “The Mandolin Player” (1868) and “Mother and Child” (1889), which Standring

considers to be her finest work. A gallery is dedicated to Whistler, illustrating his many different approaches to painting. He began his time in France with study in the atelier of Swiss-born artist Charles Gleyre and works exhibited here include “The Coast of Brittany (Alone With the Tide)” (1861), “Blue and Silver, Dieppe,” (1880-85), “The Sea, Pourville” (1899) and “The Beach at Marseilles” (1901). Sargent’s paintings are important to the period and this exhibit shows preliminary studies he painted prior to completing the well-known “Fishing for Oysters at Cancale” (1877). We have in recent years enjoyed a major exhibit of Sargent’s works at the Denver Art Museum, but it’s good to recognize his involvement with these other painters as well. It was a rich period that carried through in subsequent examples of American art. An American group, known as “The Ten,” included William Merritt Chase, J. Alden Weir, Frank Benson,

MASKS FROM PAGE 1
in Colorado may soon overtake last December’s peak. That mark was 1,847 confirmed COVID patients on Dec. 1, 2020. The Colorado School of Public Health has estimated a 48% chance that hospital demand exceeds 2,000 beds in the next several weeks if coronavirus trends remain on their current trajectory, John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health, cited during the Nov. 22 meetiong of the agency’s board. Hospital bed capacity in Colorado is now at an “all-time low” compared to other times during the pandemic, Douglas’ presentation said. That’s partly due to patients hospitalized for conditions other than COVID-19, although COVIDspecific hospitalizations themselves have been on the rise for months. The mask order applies to all people 2 and older in all public indoor spaces in Adams and Arapahoe counties with certain exceptions. Douglas mentioned recent requests to the state public-health department to institute a mask mandate — pleas that have gone unanswered. “We felt that if the state was unwilling to act, metro-wide action” could help alleviate the hospital crisis, Douglas said during the meeting. Also on Nov. 22, the Jeffco Public Health board voted 4-1 to institute a mask mandate for people 3 and older. “This is (an) action that really

EXEMPTIONS TO THE MASK ORDER Under Tri-County Health’s new mask mandate, all people 2 and older must wear a face covering in all public indoor spaces. Those younger than 2 and those who “cannot medically tolerate a face covering” are exempt, according to a fact sheet on the order. Under the order, people can temporarily remove their mask when actively engaged in any of the following activities: • Communicating with someone who is hearing impaired or otherwise disabled and where the ability to see the mouth is essential to communication • Seated at a food service establishment or actively eating or drinking • Receiving a personal, religious or medical service where the temporary removal of the face covering is necessary to perform the service • Temporary removal for identification
should have been taken a while ago,” Jeffco health board chair Greg Deranleau said during the video meeting, referencing guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that strongly recommend mask wearing in high-transmission areas. Denver followed suit with a mask order a day later. Boulder and Larimer counties already had issued mask mandates in recent months. Tri-County’s order will not apply in Douglas County, where the county’s new health department — created amid county leaders’ unhappiness over Tri-County Health’s COVID-safety rules — has authority over countywide public health
purposes • Engaging in a public safety role such as for law enforcement, firefighters or emergency medical personnel • Giving a speech for broadcast or an audience, so long as they maintain 12-foot distance from non-household members • Engaging in a performing arts performance, so long as they maintain 12-foot distance from non-household members • Engaging in a pool activity in which the face covering might become wet • Engaging in gymnastics, tumbling, cheer or wrestling, where it is not safe to wear a face covering Exemptions from the public health order also include businesses and facilities that implement a voluntary “Vaccine Verification Program” using a policy that assures full vaccination of employees, staff, guests and customers.
orders. Douglas County officials are not considering a mask mandate there, a county spokesperson said. And at a Nov. 23 meeting, county commissioners — two of whom are also board of health members — sounded unconvinced that a mask order was needed in the county. “We are seeing breaking points in other systems around the state and the metro area,” Douglas County Commissioner George Teal said in the meeting. “I have an appreciation for the system here in Douglas County being stressed. There’s a big difference between a system being stressed versus a system breaking.”

Not a ‘popularity contest’ During the public comment portion of the Tri-County Health board’s Nov. 22 meeting, Gregg McGough, of Arapahoe County, said Tri-County’s actions had been ineffective at controlling the virus. “Your efforts have sacrificed the economy (and) destroyed education,” said McGough, one of roughly a dozen who spoke against the mandate at the meeting. He added: “Let us get back to the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Douglas dismissed the idea that Tri-County took the step of a new mask mandate “because we enjoy exercising tyranny and power.” “We didn’t undertake this to win a popularity contest,” Douglas said. He added: “We undertook this because our reading of the situation is that there are substantial downsides that are going to (occur) if we breach hospital capacity and have to ration care.” “Rationing care” is a term that means deciding which patients do — and don’t — receive certain types of care in situations where hospitals are stretched too thin. Douglas touched on the question of why Colorado saw such high COVID surges last year despite the state’s now-defunct mask mandate being in effect at the time. “The answer is masks are not perfect,” Douglas said, calling masks one part of a larger set of strategies to fight the virus. “Frankly, things (in terms of virus spread) didn’t completely shut down when we locked down last spring.” SEE MASKS, P19

He noted the “counterfactual,” or what would have happened if Coloradans didn’t have a mandate. Evidence “suggests that in at least a short period of time, … masking does appear not to be perfect but to help make a difference,” Douglas said. Melissa Rawsky, of Adams County, said during the public comment period: “I have no question in my mind that if we didn’t have a mask mandate last year, the cases (in the holiday season) would have been much worse.” Board of health members Julie Mullica, Rosanna Reyes, Julie Schilz, Jan Brainard and Kaia Gallagher voted “yes” in favor of TriCounty issuing the mask mandate, and Thomas Fawell, an Arapahoe County representative, voted “no.” Tied to hospital capacity The public health order will remain in effect through Jan. 2 — and further after that until staffed intensive-care unit bed capacity reaches 10% or greater for 14 consecutive days. The 10% ICU capacity mark was to be considered at a regional level because “no county is an island in terms of its hospitals,” Douglas said. Currently, staffed ICU bed availability in the North Central Region that covers Adams and Arapahoe counties is 5.8%, according to a news release from Tri-County Health.
The Tri-County Health Department’s headquarters in Greenwood Village.
Hospital capacity remains extremely tight, with ICU bed utilization at 93% in Adams County and 100% in Arapahoe County, according to the health agency’s release. As of Nov. 22, Adams County’s seven-day rate of new infections was 346 per 100,000 people, and up to that point in November there had been 232 persons hospitalized with COVID-19 and 40 deaths, according to the release. In Arapahoe County, the case rate as of late November was 303 per 100,000 people, with 202 hospitalizations and 24 deaths during the month, the release said. Statewide, Colorado has a growing crisis in hospital capacity — there are more than 1,500 individuals currently hospitalized with COVID-19, and hospitals are at about 95% capacity including non-COVID-19 patients, according to the release. Of the COVID-19 hospitalizations, 82% are unvaccinated, according to the release.

The order allows owners, operators and managers of public indoor spaces who have implemented vaccination requirements for all individuals entering their space — such as employees, visitors and customers — to request an exception to mask wearing requirements for people in their indoor spaces. Businesses can choose, but are not required, to implement a vaccine requirement. Such a policy must require proof of vaccination and result in 95% or more of people in the space being vaccinated, according to the Nov. 22 meeting presentation. Eligible spaces would include one-time events such as weddings or trade shows, a gym or other class held at a certain time of day, a single building or a single organization operating across multiple buildings, or a bar, restaurant or office. On Nov. 14, the Colorado Depart-
ment of Public Health and Environment ordered that anyone who attends certain public, indoor events with 500 or more people in Arapahoe, Adams, Denver and three other metro-Denver counties be vaccinated against COVID-19. Brainard, one of the Tri-County Health board members, harked back to when public health measures in Colorado were much more severe. “We’re not closing bars, we’re not closing restaurants, we’re not closing schools. We’re trying to keep them open,” Brainard said. Restrictions that took effect in November last year in metro Denver and other areas of the state banned private gatherings and indoor dining at restaurants, and it tightened capacity limits at some types of businesses. Reporters Elliott Wenzler and Glenn Wallace contributed to this story.

Questions about mask order at county meeting BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At a meeting of Arapahoe County’s commissioners on Nov. 22, the same day the Tri-County Health Department’s board issued its new mask-wearimng order for the county, Commissioner Nancy Sharpe expressed frustration with having followed public health guidelines yet still being told to follow a new mandate. Sharpe, whose district includes Centennial and Greenwood Village, said she had received the first two shots of COVID-19 vaccine and a booster dose. “I’ve done everything I’m supposed to do,” Sharpe said. Speaking at the meetong, John Douglas, executive director of TriCounty Health Department, said he sympathized with her frustration, recalling the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s old guidance that masks are not necessary for those who are vaccinated. But then, he said, Americans en-
countered the delta variant, which is more contagious than prior versions of the virus that causes COVID-19. The “exponential transmission capacity” means the delta variant is more difficult to fight against, Douglas added. At the commissioners’ meeting, Douglas was asked why health officials wouldn’t issue a “strong recommendation” or an advisory rather than a mandate. But metro Denver health officials did urge residents to wear masks in public indoor spaces in a Nov. 5 announcement that was called a statewide “public health advisory.” “We’ve been issuing quote ‘strong recommendations’ since the end of July when the CDC first came out and said if you’re more than (a certain rate of new cases, an area should mask indoors),” Douglas said. “Not much changed. We did put out exactly what you said, a public health advisory (on Nov. 5). And the mask wearing didn’t change at all. And the case rate didn’t stop going up at all.”
Not your ordinary holiday theater production BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Thanks to a holiday event that’s new this year, people will have an opportunity to step back in time to the 1800s. Presented by Adelska, a Denverbased entertainment company, “Dickens: A Family Holiday Experience” will be an immersive, chooseyour-own-adventure theater attraction inspired by Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” It takes place from 4-8 p.m. Dec. 11 at Four Mile Historic Park, 715 S. Forest St. in Denver. “Last year’s holiday season was missing some magic due to the pandemic, so when we thought about the 2021 holiday season, we really wanted to create a truly unique and memorable experience suitable for the whole community,” said Gretchen Bartek, founder and CEO of Adelska. “‘A Christmas Carol’ is such an iconic story that captures the spirit of the season, and we cannot wait to bring it to life through all of the various elements this one-night event will have to offer.” The various elements is how the choose-your-own-adventure comes in. In addition to immersive theater — the “Christmas Carol” narrative will be played out along the path through the park — attendees will have the opportunity to ice skate, explore the park’s 10 acres decorated with festive lights, interact with carolers, attend a story time with Charles Dickens, visit with Santa and shop at a holiday market. Food and drink options for additional purchase include a gourmet hot
chocolate-and-smores bar, food trucks and a full bar offering holiday cocktails for attendees age 21 and older. “Immersive theater is becoming more of the norm as people discover how wonderful it is to be a part of something, rather than just watching it passively,” said Leah Cardenas, creative director for Adelska. “Our audience will get to follow along with Ms. Scrooge as she learns about her past, present and future, and help her to see the kindness and love that this time of year can bring.” The intent is to “create a special holiday experience that goes beyond the holiday lightshow where families are immersed in new theatrical traditions,” added Breena Siegel, event planner for Adelska. Another inspiration for the event was Four Mile Historic Park itself. Bartek, of south Denver, enjoys the park and thought it would make a great setting to create a special experience that a whole family can engage in. But not only that — “A Christmas Carol” was written in 1843, which is the same decade that the Four Mile house was built, Bartek said. “The holidays can be a magical time of storytelling and tradition,” Siegel said. “I’m most excited for families to step into a playful world where they get an experience, in addition to the traditional Santa visit and holiday marketplace.” Tickets cost $50 for adults and youth age 12 and older, $25 for children ages 4-11, and children age 3 and younger have free entry. Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite: tinyurl.com/ ticketsDickensAdelska. To learn more about Adelska, visit www.adelska.com.

Creek, Valor to meet for Colo. 5A football title Teams to clash Dec. 4 at Empower Field BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It’s just what was expected four months ago when the Colorado high school football season started. Cherry Creek and Valor Christian will play for the Class 5A state championship at 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 at Empower Field at Mile High. Creek (11-2) will be seeking its third straight state championship. Top-seeded Valor of Highlands Ranch has been a dominate team all season and brings an undefeated 13-0 record into the state title game. Both teams overpowered their opponents in semifinal contests played Nov. 27. Cherry Creek took a 38-0 lead into the fourth quarter in a 48-14 victory over Legend High of Parker at the Stutler Bowl, Creek’s home field in Greenwood Village. Valor rushed for 354 yards in rolling over Grandview High, 37-6, at Valor. This will be the third time in the past four seasons the teams have faced each other in the state title game. Valor beat Creek 24-14 in 2018 and the Bruins downed the Eagles, 21-0, in last season’s championship game played in Pueblo. Valor, who will be makings its eighth trip to the state title contest in the past 10 seasons, has won eight state football titles which includes
two in Class 4A and one 3A championship. Creek has taken home 11 state championship trophies. Cherry Creek was playing in its sixth state semifinal game in seven seasons and put Legend on its heels with big plays and a stellar defense which contained Legend’s potent offense. “The plan was good on both sides and the kids did a great job of executing,” said Creek coach Dave Logan. “I’m really proud of the kids. “We’ve battled through a lot of stuff, a lot of injuries. We’ve had key guys go down and yet they have hung in there. We’ve played our best football late in the season which is important. “When you get his deep in the playoffs a lot of times, it comes down to the ability to run the football and create big plays. You have to be able to do both.” Senior Ky Oday and junior Carlson Tann had the big plays for Creek. Oday caught 40 and 75 yard TD passes from quarterback Christian Hammond and returned a kickoff 99 yards for a score. Tann, who gained 133 yards on 10 carries, had a 5-yard TD run and sprinted 73 yards on a second TD gallop. Even offensive tackle George Fitzpatrick was part of the scoring. He grabbed a bobbled fumbled that went air born and went two yards for a TD. Boden Page kicked two field goals for the Bruins. “We were clicking on all cylinders and we will be good next week,”said Oday who had four catches for 146

yards. “We’ve been looking forward to them (Valor) all year.” Logan knows the title game will be a challenge. “Valor is a great team,” said Logan. “They’ve been ranked No. 1 all year long. We a game that will be a big, big challenge for us. We look forward to the opportunity.” Legend senior Bryce Vaz had 98 yards rushing with one touchdown and threw a 7-yard TD pass to Brecken Reiser. Titans coach Monte Thelen, whose team finished with an 11-2 record, credited Creek and also praised his team.
“Their defense is really stout and we had trouble tackling them,” he said. “Tip your hat to Cherry Creek. They played very well. “I think we are one of the top programs in the state. We’re 27-6 in the last three years and been to two Final Fours and a Sweet 16. That’s a positive reflection on Legend football despite this disappointment.” Valor’s senior running back Gavin Sawchuck, who has committed to play at Oklahoma, rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns in the Eagles win over Grandview (10-3). Jordan Norwood ran for two Valor TDs.

Much more to ‘wander’ about The Holiday Market is part of Cherry Creek North’s Winter Wanderland, which offers a variety of free, festive activities for the entire family. The Winter Wanderland Light Walk features Cherry Creek North’s 600 trees adorned with nearly a million lights. Another not-to-miss attraction is the U.S. debut of the Creos company’s “domino effect,” created by Ingrid Ingrid and located at Third Avenue and Milwaukee Street. Creos is a Canadian company that presents touring interactive installations. The interactive and musical traveling art installment came to Cherry Creek North from Montreal, and will only be in Denver until Dec. 31. “We want to provide a place for our community to create lasting memories they return to year after year,” said Nick LeMasters, president and CEO of the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District, in a news release. “This event has grown into an incredible opportunity for families to feel the glow of the holidays around every corner in Cherry Creek North.”
Something unique and interesting to be found The walkable Cherry Creek North neighborhood includes 275 businesses, of which, 70% are locally owned, said Jeannie McFarland Johnson, director of marketing and communications for Cherry Creek North. By shopping locally, not only can people help small businesses thrive, but they also won’t need to worry about the supply chain, McFarland Johnson. “It’s fantastic not working in a cubicle anymore,” The Log Candle’s Swanson said, pointing to the community’s support for some of the success of his smallbusiness venture. People like shopping at holiday markets because they can find something unique, and see interesting things, Swanson said. He expects to have lots of different, fun conversations with people at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market, he said. And he expects people will gather around the Log Candles’ fire, he said. “Because it puts out a little warmth,” Swanson said.

Not your ordinary holiday theater production ‘Dickens: A Family Holiday Experience’ presented Dec. 11
CEO of Adelska. “‘A Christmas Carol’ is such an iconic story that captures the spirit of the season, and we cannot wait to bring it to life through all of the various elements this one-night event will have to offer.” The various elements is how the choose-your-own-adventure comes in. In addition to immersive theater — the “Christmas Carol” narrative will be played out along the path through the park — attendees will have the opportunity to ice skate, explore the park’s 10 acres decorated with festive lights, interact with carolers, attend a story time with Charles Dickens, visit with Santa and shop at a holiday market. Food and drink options for additional purchase include a gourmet hot chocolate-and-smores bar, food trucks and a full bar offering holiday cocktails for attendees age 21 and older. “Immersive theater is becoming more of the norm as people discover how wonderful it is to be a part of something, rather than just watching it passively,” said Leah Cardenas, creative director for
BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Thanks to a holiday event that’s new this year, people will have an opportunity to step back in time to the 1800s. Presented by Adelska, a Denverbased entertainment company, “Dickens: A Family Holiday Experience” will be an immersive, choose-your-own-adventure theater attraction inspired by Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” It takes place from 4-8 p.m. Dec. 11 at Four Mile Historic Park, 715 S. Forest St. in Denver. “Last year’s holiday season was missing some magic due to the pandemic, so when we thought about the 2021 holiday season, we really wanted to create a truly unique and memorable experience suitable for the whole community,” said Gretchen Bartek, founder and
Adelska. “Our audience will get to follow along with Ms. Scrooge as she learns about her past, present and future, and help her to see the kindness and love that this time of year can bring.” The intent is to “create a special holiday experience that goes beyond the holiday lightshow where families are immersed in new theatrical traditions,” added Breena Siegel, event planner for Adelska. Another inspiration for the event was Four Mile Historic Park itself. Bartek, of south Denver, enjoys the park and thought it would make a great setting to create a special experience that a whole family can engage in. But not only that — “A Christmas Carol” was written in 1843, which is the same decade that the Four Mile house was built, Bartek said. “The holidays can be a magical time of storytelling and tradition,” Siegel said. “I’m most excited for families to step into a playful world where they get an experience, in addition to the traditional Santa visit and holiday marketplace.” Tickets cost $50 for adults and
