was sparked by pushback from residents, according to Englewood Open Space Manager Dave Lee. The proposal has gained attention from area skaters, something that Lee said was evident during a Dec. 14 open house the city held for community members to provide feedback on the project. “Typically, when we have an open house regarding improvements in a park, we may get a dozen or two people to provide comments,” Lee said. “On Dec. 14, we had between 30 and 40 skate-park individuals who came to weigh in on what they would like to see in the park. It’s important to them.” The proposal has brought on

Facing what could be a dramatically steep surge in new cases of COVID-19 in Colorado amid the spread of the omicron variant, several metro Denver counties announced they would continue their local mask mandates. In Adams and Arapahoe counties, a school mask mandate will be extended, and a broader mandate for masks in public indoor spaces will continue, according to Tri-County Health Department. With the surge in cases “it makes sense to continue with as many prevention practices as possible to protect the health of everyone in Adams and Arapahoe counties,” said a statement from Becky O’Guin, spokesperson for Tri-County Health. “We also need to help protect our frontline workers who have worked exhaustively for the last two years.” Hospital capacity remains “very tight,” and surges in omicron cases are likely to further aggravate the situation, according to a Dec. 28 news release from the Colorado Health Institute.

Skate park planned for relocation in Cushing City’s plans garner attention from users of current facility BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Three parks in Englewood are slated to be renovated this summer after the city approved $3 million for updates to Baker, Centennial and Cushing parks last October. Renovations are set to include new sidewalks, restrooms and sheltered picnic areas as well as updates to playground areas. But perhaps the most high-profile change will center around Cushing

Park and plans to scrap a nearly 30-year-old skate park and replace it with a new one in a different area of Cushing. The plan evokes years of controversy dating back to at least 2007, when residents of homes along West Eastman Avenue, which sits adjacent to the skate park, railed against unwanted noise and litter that they said was a result of the park and its skaters. One resident told the city council at the time that she had called the police after she believed skaters at the park were responsible for property damage and theft at her home. Now, 15 years later, the city plans to move the skate park to the north end of Cushing’s parking lot away from homes, something that

Colo. children not yet impacted by omicron Local cases of more transmissible variant are starting to emerge BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Doctors nationwide say that while children have been the least impacted in contracting COVID-19, it does not mean they are immune, and with a third variant hitting the streets of Colorado cases will continue to go up. Samuel Dominguez, a pediatric disease specialist at Children’s Hospital Colorado, said statewide case numbers are holding steady with young patients. However, Dominguez said while national media outlets are reporting continued increases in young patients contracting the new omicron variant with hospital stays increasing, Colorado is still lagging behind. Dominguez said CHC facilities along the Front Range had started seeing a decrease in young patients just before the Thanksgiving holiday. That decrease has continued as more cases of omicron are starting to be reported at all age levels. Because Colorado cases are further behind the jump in COVID rates in states like Florida and New York, Dominguez said infectious disease doctors are relying on data from those states as they

prepare to handle the anticipated increase. “Really, in terms of what we are seeing here right now, it’s just not quite where the rest of the country is,” Dominguez said. “At the state level, we have no real good data for comparisons (between the delta and omicron variants) at this time.” Even as Colorado is playing catch-up with the rest of the country, Dominguez said the newest variant it is here, and the biggest concern is how transmissible it is. Like Colorado doctors, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) continues to work on a world scale to get a grasp on what kind of impact the new variant will have on the U.S. As cases spread, the CDC reported that omicron spreads more easily than the original COVID strain and more studies are needed to see how it compares to the Delta variant. According to the CDC timeline, Omicron was first reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Nov. 24. By Nov. 26, WHO classified Omicron as a “variant of concern.” The U.S. followed suit with the same labeling by Nov. 30. By Dec. 1, the U.S. had its first confirmed case of the new variant that is now competing with the Delta variant, which has been the dominant strain since summer. On the website, the CDC stressed that “anyone with Omicron infection can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or

don’t have symptoms.” The CDC said more data is needed to know if Omicron infections, including breakthrough infections for vaccinated citizens, cause more sever illness or death than infection with other COVID variants. According to the CDC, the current vaccines on the market, including Pizer and Moderna, are expected to protect people from “severe” illness, hospitalizations and deaths. However, the CDC warned that it expects an increase in breakthrough cases among people who are fully vaccinated. U.S. health officials continue to encourage residents to not only get the first round of vaccinations, but also get the booster shot for added protection. In children, Dominguez said, vaccinations are an important preventive step for ages 5 and older to be protected as much as possible. As omicron becomes the most prevalent variant spreading COVID, Dominguez said winter break from schools is both good and bad to help prevent the spread among children and youths. “The time off means decreases in spreading (COVID) in the schools,” he said. “But the bad side is there are a lot more holiday gatherings this time of year where it can also spread. Traveling

also tends to increase this time of year.” As families gathered and traveled throughout the holiday season, Johns Hopkins University reported the highest total cases of COVID since pandemic tracking officially began on Jan. 21, 2020. Breaking the record on Dec. 29, data showed the U.S. had 377,014 confirmed cases. In Colorado, the state had just over 4,700 confirmed cases on Dec. 29, up about 67% from 2,824 confirmed cases the week before. As cases increase, the need for testing centers has also increased. According to the Douglas County website, testing at Sky Ridge Medial Center resumes this month. In Arapahoe County, testing sites can be seen with increasing lines at the UCHealth Campus along Arapahoe Road and the Arapahoe Crossing Shopping Center. Still, Dominguez said, the “silver lining” for children and young adults is that it is the demographic least impacted in contracting COVID. “Overall, children have done a lot better handling this than adults,” he said. “But to say children are not impacted or cannot get this at all is just wrong.” SEE OMICRON, P3

Englewood police seek hit-and-run suspect Pedestrian struck by vehicle along U.S. Highway 285 BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood police responded to the area of East Jefferson Avenue at South Pennsylvania Street after a report of a vehicle incident involving a pedestrian on Dec. 25, according to a news release. Upon arrival, officers found a victim lying on the roadway around 8:45 p.m., the release said. The area is along U.S. Highway 285 a handful of blocks east of Broadway. Paramedics took the victim to a local hospital with serious injuries, the release said. The pedestrian was walking across the street when they were struck by a silver SUV,

the release said. The driver of the SUV fled the area. The driver was described as a Black woman in her 30s or 40s, the release said. The suspected vehicle is a 2009 Saturn Vue with Colorado license plates (BGFB57) and front-end damage, according to the release. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued a Medina Alert, which applies to certain hit-and-run incidents, shortly after the incident. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Englewood Police Department at 303-761-7410. No arrest had been made as of Dec. 30, said Sgt. Joel Jose, an Englewood police spokesperson. Jose referred questions about the victim’s condition to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. The DA’s office did not immediately have information on the victim’s condition.

Authorities seek victims of suspect in child sex assaults Following arrest, the sheriff’s office searching for anyone harmed BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe County sheriff’s investigators are asking for the public’s help in trying to find more alleged victims of suspect Allan Richard Long, 51, the sheriff’s office announced in December. Long is suspected of 41 felony counts relating to sexual abuse of children, according to the news release. Investigators say there are at least seven victims ranging in age Long from 4 to 16, but there could be many more, the Dec. 16 news release said. Long was arrested by sheriff’s deputies in September. He has ties in Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming and Montana, according to the release.

Dominguez stressed that children can still get COVID, spread COVID and some can get sick from it. Another area of concern for the younger population, Dominguez said, is that children can contract a condition known as MIS-C. MIS-C, or multisystem inflammatory syndrome, is a serious condition associated with COVID-19 where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin,

Investigators believe he may have committed multiple sex-assault crimes in those states and possibly others, due to his access to families through his work, according to the release. His occupations included volunteer firefighter, tow truck driver, truck dispatcher and over-theroad truck driver, according to the news release and Deputy John Bartmann, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office. He allegedly committed some of the crimes within Arapahoe County, according to Bartmann. Investigators say their child sex assault cases with Long date back to 2001, but they believe his alleged crimes may have started before that, the release said. If you believe you may have been a victim of Long, know someone who may have been or have any information about him, the sheriff’s office asks you to contact Investigator Andrew Fehringer at 720-874-4065 or afehringer@arapahoegov.com. Long was in the Arapahoe County jail being held in lieu of $1 million bond as of press time.

Interested in running for office in 2022? Here are steps to take to get on a ballot

i P r o a b o n

BY SANDRA FISH COLORADO SUN

The 2022 election is 10 months away, and a wave of candidates are filing paperwork to run in Colorado’s newly reconfigured congressional and legislative districts. But jumping into a race doesn’t guarantee someone a spot on the ballot for the June 28 primary, let alone the Nov. 8 general election. Candidates have to spend big money to qualify for the contest, or they can try to pick up enough support from members of their political party through what’s called the caucus and assembly process. The mad dash to make the ballot starts this month, with the primary ballot set by April 29. Here’s how the process works for Democratic and Republican candidates: Candidates must meet certain qualifications The federal and state governments set qualifications for candidates to run for elected office. First off, candidates must be affiliated with a political party on Jan. 1, 2022, to seek the Democratic or Republican nomination. To run for U.S. Senate, candidates must also be at least 30 years old, be a U.S. citizen for at least nine years,

and be a resident of the state at the time of the election. To run for the U.S. House, candidates must be at least 25 years old, be a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, and live in the state they represent, though not necessarily in the congressional district where they’re running. Anyone running for office in Colorado must be a U.S. citizen. But that’s not the only requirement. To run for governor or lieutenant governor, candidates must: be at

least 30 years old and be a Colorado resident for at least two years. To run for treasurer, secretary of state or attorney general, candidates must be at least 25 years old and be a Colorado resident for at least two years. To run for state Senate or House, candidates must be at least 25 years old and live in Colorado and the district they are seeking to represent for at least one year. To run for University of Colorado regent, state Board of Education or district attorney, candidates must be at least 18 years old, be a Colorado resident and live in the district they’re running in, unless they’re running for a statewide at-large seat The caucus and assembly process The caucus and assembly process is considered the traditional, grassroots method of getting on the ballot. It’s also the least predictable route to being elected. Candidates must cultivate support among party members who show up to precinct caucuses, where a handful of people — sometimes only two or three — gather to throw their support behind someone and elect delegates. Those delegates move on to county, district and state assemblies where they help form party platforms and nominate candidates

for everything from county offices to the U.S. Senate. Only voters registered as Republicans or Democrats by Feb. 7 may attend precinct caucuses, which must be held between March 1 and 5. Typically, the caucuses and subsequent assemblies draw mostly party activists. That’s because it takes dedication — and a good deal of time — to participate. To make the ballot through the caucus and assembly, candidates must get at least 30% of the delegate vote at each step. This limits the number of candidates who may emerge from an assembly to three, though it’s typically fewer. For example, in the 2018 gubernatorial caucus and assembly process, Democrats nominated Cary Kennedy and then U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, while Republicans nominated then state Treasurer Walker Stapleton and former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez. But those four people were far from the only candidates seeking to be on the primary ballot that year. The caucus and assembly process can be somewhat unpredictable because delegates may switch their support from one candidate to another at the last minute.

is a prime example, where then El Paso County Commissioner Darryl Glenn surprised many political observers by wooing party activists at the last minute and making the ballot. In the process, he denied others a chance at winning the GOP nomination. The petition process Candidates may also petition to get on the ballot by gathering signatures from voters registered to their party. Those signatures are then reviewed and confirmed by the Secretary of State’s Office. Jan. 18 is the first day that Democratic or Republican candidates may begin gathering those signatures. Signatures must be submitted by March 15. The signature-gathering rules are

somewhat complicated, and going the petition route can be expensive — as in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars expensive — especially for statewide candidates who typically hire private firms to do the work. Signature-gathering requirements U.S. Senate candidates and those running for governor must collect 1,500 valid signatures from voters in each of Colorado’s eight congressional districts. That’s at least 12,000 signatures, though candidates typically gather far more signatures than they need just in case some signatures are rejected during the review process. U.S. House, state Board of Education and CU regent candidates must collect whichever is lesser: 1,500 signatures or 10% of the votes cast in the last primary election (or general election if there was no primary) held in the district Secretary of state, treasurer and attorney general candidates must collect 1,000 signatures from

each of the state’s eight congressional districts. That’s at least 8,000 signatures. State House and Senate candidates must collect whichever is lesser: 1,000 signatures or 30% of the votes cast in the last primary election (or general election if there was no primary) held in the district Candidates running for at-large University of Colorado regent seats must collect 500 signatures from each of the state’s eight congressional districts for a total of 4,000 signatures There’s often a race to submit signatures to the Secretary of State’s Office because once a voter has been counted on one candidate’s petition, they can’t be counted for another one running for the same office. Problems can arise In 2018, Stapleton paid a firm about $235,000 to gather signatures so he could get on the ballot. But he withdrew the signatures he submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office

at the last minute when he learned that the company he hired didn’t follow state laws. Stapleton later won a lawsuit against Kennedy Enterprises, the signature-gathering firm, which was ordered to return the money. Campaign finance records don’t indicate how much 2018 Republican gubernatorial nominees Victor Mitchell and Doug Robinson or Democrats Donna Lynne and Mike Johnston paid to make the ballot. But Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser spent nearly $175,000 to make the ballot in 2018, and Republican candidate for treasurer Polly Lawrence spent $128,000.

MY NAME IS

DANIEL ARSENAULT

States Figure Skating competitive pipeline. Three times I competed in one of the three sectional championships that are held across the U.S., and twice I was fortunate enough to advance from them to the national championships at my level.

‘Disney On Ice’ performer, Centennial native, former South Suburban ice skater I am 27, and I am currently a resident of Jefferson City, Missouri. I lived in the Denver area starting at age 2, and Centennial from age 16 to 25. My mom had always loved ice skating as a girl, and so she would take me and my siblings skating when we were young as a fun family activity that we could all do together. Eventually, she signed us up for lessons, and at the age of 8, I started really learning to ice skate. I learned the basics of skating and then went into playing hockey, which I really enjoyed, and still enjoy very much today. I first began figure skating at the age of 14 after pursuing hockey for several years. I switched from hockey because I was a competitive sibling and thought I could be better than my sisters. ‘Out of my shell’ The thing that started my love of performing actually had nothing to do with skating — it was through speech and debate. I competed in debate for three years in high school, but my senior year, one of the other students convinced me to do an interpretive speech with

her. It was an experience that really forced me to come out of my shell, and through it, I discovered that acting and bringing characters to life was a challenge that was thoroughly enjoyable. National contender After high school, I attended Arapahoe Community College for two years to be able to continue training, and throughout this time I competed in the pairs discipline of the United

South Suburban memories I skated in many amateur shows during this time as well ... The best show to skate in though was “Showtime On Ice,” a production of the Denver Colorado Figure Skating Club, held at the (former) South Suburban Ice Arena. Every spring, they put on (a large) amateur ice show … with a cast of kids and adults sometimes 200 strong, featuring everyone from tots barely able to skate, to Olympians in guest performances. It is a show that every kid at that rink spends all year looking forward to, and it brings so much joy to both the skaters and the parents who get to watch them fall in love with performing under the spotlights. Every year, I was able to learn something new about performing from the amazing directors and coaching staff they had, and it bred and solidified my desire to perform professionally one day. Left a mark One of the greatest influences on my performances is Sally Smith, the Denver Colorado Figure Skating Club’s beloved performance coach. She is one of those people that is always pushing you to be better, no matter how good you already are, and does so in a way that made

skating more fun for me. Through her lessons, I was prepared with the skills necessary to be a successful professional performer. Coming to Disney “Disney On Ice” is a well-known destination in the figure skating world for people who want to continue their careers beyond their time in the competitive scene, and any skater can send in a video showcasing their skills to the talent director. I was fortunate enough to meet the talent director in person at a competition and then attended an in-person audition, after which I was offered a position in the company. This (current) show, “Dream Big,” is all about dreaming and setting those big goals for yourself. One of my favorite segments of the show is “The Princess and the Frog” because Tiana takes that message of dreaming big and isn’t afraid to work to make her dreams come true! Behind the scenes I also sharpen all the performers’ skates on the show. I spent several years working at a pro shop in the old South Suburban Ice Arena, honed my sharpening skills there and now I get to travel the world while I sharpen skates for many incredible skaters.

Douglas County poised for more growth 25% expansion in 10 years outpaces metro area BY MOLLY ARMBRISTER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

After a decade of growth that far outstrips the Denver metro area as a whole, Douglas County shows few signs of slowing down, driven by high levels of demand and new development in expanding towns like Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker. There’s no doubt the entire metro area has grown at an unprecedented rate in the last decade. But Douglas County, home to smaller towns, scattered development and plentiful open space for years, was especially ripe for growth in 2010. From 2010 to 2020, Douglas County’s population grew by 25% to just over 360,000 people, according to the most recent data available from the Colorado State Demography Office, compared with just under 16% growth for the entire metro area. And while the COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020 slowed migration, and growth, across the board, Douglas County still grew more than twice as fast as metro Denver over the course of the year. Douglas County’s population grew 2.5% from 2019 to 2020, while the metro area expanded by less than 1%, according to the demography office’s data. SEE GROWTH, P8

Housing in Lone Tree continues to increase along with the population.

GROWTH FROM PAGE 7

Since Douglas County’s population was much smaller to begin with, it makes sense that its rate of growth would be higher. But there’s no doubt that the county has seen an outsized share of development in recent years, and in 2021 it took significant steps toward continuing the trend heading into the new year. In Lone Tree, for example, a long-anticipated expansion of RidgeGate Parkway paved the way — literally — to easier access and smoother traffic flows through the area, a crucial piece of the plan to implement phase two of the RidgeGate master-planned development. Additionally in 2021, Shea Homes made its first of five land purchases that will allow it to build homes on 185 acres at RidgeGate. Castle Rock has also made big moves that are poised to pay dividends as the retail-heavy town persists on its path to greater diversity of industry, more primary

residential development underway and large mixed-use developments like Dawson Trails moving through the planning stages, Castle Rock is ready to keep its growth spurt going, although keeping the expansion going at a measured, reasonable pace is the goal for the economic development team there. “Healthy is the key word,” said Frank Gray, CEO of the Castle Rock Economic Development Council. “You want to see nice, healthy growth.

Tattered Cover reflects on pop-up experience in Lone Tree Staff also discuss best reads of 2021, most anticipated in 2022 BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tattered Cover opened its first pop-up site to be located at Lone Tree’s Park Meadows mall in October and will wind down the venture in the coming days. The space, called “Tattered Cover + Kids,” boasted more than 1,200 children’s titles. The store had 1,800 total titles, stocking best-selling adult novels as well. The seasonal store also gathered children’s gifts and special events. The locally owned bookstore marked 50 years running in 2021 and has satellite locations in Denver International Airport, five Denver metro area stores, and will soon open a Westminster location in addition to its pop-ups. Park Meadows Senior General Manager Pamela Kelly said by email that Tattered Cover was a great addition to the shopping facility. “They have an outstanding longterm reputation and Park Meadows is very excited to be a continuation of that legacy and retail experience,” she said. Kwame Spearman, Tattered Cover’s CEO, said in a statement that the pop-up will be open at Park

The Tattered Cover holiday pop-up at Park Meadows mall opened in October and will go through mid-January.

Meadows mall until mid-January, “but we would love to see it become a long-term home for us eventually.” Until then, the nearest location is the store’s Aspen Grove location at 7301 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. Spearman said hosting the Park Meadows pop-up has “been an absolute pleasure.” “We are thrilled with the response and support from the Lone Tree community,” Spearman said. Kate Brasch, Tattered Cover’s kids book buyer, played an integral role in stocking the Park Meadows pop-up. Popular or best-selling books at the Park Meadows location spanned from holiday classics like “The Polar Express” by Chris Van Allsburg to recent works from well-known

authors like J.K. Rowling, whose new book “The Christmas Pig” follows a lost beanbag toy and the boy who finds it. Shoppers favored author Mo Willems as well, whose “Elephant and Piggie” books are “simple, funny and kind stories about an elephant and his friend who is a pig,” she said. Brasch also recommended her favorite books from 2021 and her most anticipated reads of 2022. Her most-loved books of 2021 include “The Night Walk,” written and illustrated by Marie Dorleans, and “Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess,” written and illustrated by Tom Gauld. “I love this quirky fairy tale with illustrations that are fine in every

sense of the word,” she said. Among children’s books in 2022, she is most looking forward to checking out “Being a Dog — A Tail of Mindfulness,” written by Maria Gianferrari and illustrated by Pete Oswald. The book teaches about all five senses by following “a dog just being a dog,” she said, and will be published on April 5. Among adult books, Brasch plans to read “Sea of Tranquility” by Emily St. John Mandel, which also will come out April 5. “Earlier novels of Emily St. John Mandel include ‘Station Eleven’ and ‘The Glass Hotel,’” Brasch said. “I so enjoyed both of these titles, so look forward to this new fantastical and hopefully fantastic book.”

VOICES

We can’t stop until we start

ou don’t have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great.” — Joe Saba Here we go, the first week of the year begins WINNING and we are back at it, whatever “it” WORDS may be for each of us. Whether we claim 2021 as a huge success, a miserable failure, or anywhere in between, the good news is that we get to either build upon Michael Norton the successes, grow from the failures, or jump-start our way out of our comfort zone. Heading into the new year, we get to choose what it is we want to start doing. For many of us, we thought about what it is that we want to stop doing instead of what we want to start doing. When we think of what we are trying to stop, it means we see that as something that is negative, maybe it’s a bad habit that we know

we need to break. Having this awareness is so powerful when it comes to making positive changes in our life. The best way to stop or break a bad habit is to start a new, good, healthy and productive habit. What I have noticed in life is that people who get stuck, knowing they want to stop doing something that could be destructive or disruptive to their life, but don’t stop, is because they didn’t come up with a better alternative. We may argue that this should be common sense, but keep in mind that common sense is not always common practice. Many of us miss our own “aha” moments because we are so close to a problem or situation that we can’t visualize our way out of it. We need someone else to come alongside of us and point out what might be obvious. As I thought about the column that I would write to begin the year, I knew that I wanted to begin the year with a one-word theme. I outlined several drafts of what the column could be about and had plenty of positive, motivating and encourag-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Bill would empower public workers Everyone should be able to work safely, be paid a living wage, and have a say in how they’re treated. That’s what advocates of the upcoming Colorado Public Employee Collective Bargaining Bill are trying to do by expanding collective bargaining rights to public sector workers. This bill is an important step in making Colorado a better place to live and work. I’m a proud member of United Campus Workers Colorado - CWA Local 7799 and I’ve seen some of the most important work at my job be done by our members. We’re working to make sure people who are most impacted by COVID are taken care of. We’ve been funding Community Fridges so that people who are food insecure can eat.

ing words to choose from. Before I knew it, I was stuck. Then it hit me, “Start” would be the word and all I had to do was “Start” writing and the story would almost write itself. “People who never take step one, can never possibly take step two.” Zig Ziglar Why don’t we take the first step? It comes down to one of two things: Fear of failure and no time. Fear of failure can be crippling if not paralyzing, but it is also the common language of negative or destructive self-talk. A kind of negative self-talk that when we eliminate it propels us forward toward the accomplishment of our goals and dreams. If we can start filling our head and heart with good, strong, and positive encouraging words, we will stop feeding our minds with negativity. No time? What we are really telling ourselves is that everything and everyone else is more important than our own health and peace of mind. No time is the easiest cop-out of all. Sorry, but it’s true. What we need to do before we stop doing anything is

start prioritizing what we are doing. What will have the greatest positive impact on our lives so we in turn can have an even greater impact on those around us? Change the talk-track in our head with what to start doing, and what we need to stop doing will become obvious. Are you ready to start the new year? Are you ready to start the year by deciding to get past the fear, the excuses of no time, stopping all that is dragging you down or holding you back, so that you can enjoy all that 2022 has in store for you? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can overcome our fears and make time to start doing more of the good, pure, powerful, and positive actions and stop doing those detrimental, negative, and destructive things, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We’ve been pushing for racial justice, disability rights, and LGBTQ inclusion. These are the kinds of things unions can create space for, and everyone deserves the right to ask for them. As an employee, being in a union makes asking for what you deserve a little less scary. As an employer, having a union can help make sure your employees have the support they need. When we have what we need to live with dignity, not just get by, everyone benefits. It’s better for people, for families, and even business. If you care about public workers and public institutions, I urge you to contact your state legislator and tell them.

GROWTH

FROM PAGE 8

“Without key infrastructure, nothing really moves forward,” Gray said. Even the unincorporated parts of Douglas County are contributing to the surge in population. Sterling Ranch, which began new home construction in 2016 after two years of planning and infrastructure work, plus about a decade of legal contention, in July 2021 announced the opening of its third distinct neighborhood, called Prospect Village, within the behemoth site in the northwest corner of the county. Sterling Ranch is a long-term development play, with full build-out expected to take at least two decades. But it and many other residential developments

have their work cut out for them trying to keep pace with the hunger for homes in Douglas County. The number of households in the county jumped by 27% to just under 131,000 in the 10 years leading up to 2020, according to the demographer’s data, compared with a 15% increase across the metro area, and local residential real estate brokers say that demand for homes in the county has only increased over the course of 2021. Development in the county can only go so far, thanks to protections placed on the county’s ample open space, but with cities, towns and unincorporated developments all moving full-steam ahead with their growth plans, there is plenty of runway for the county’s continued expansion, even beyond what it’s seen so far.

PARK FROM PAGE 1

mixed feelings from the community, said David Riordon, a lifelong skateboarder and president of the Colorado River Surfing Association. “There is concern. The skate park has been one that people really enjoy,” Riordon said. Riordon said he has been in talks with local skaters in the area who have urged the city to preserve what they’ve loved most about the park, namely its all-metal halfpipe, a remnant of 1990s-style skate parks that used metal sheets for its ramps as opposed to concrete. The city, as part of its contract with American Ramp Company to rebuild the skate park, is looking to modernize the area with concrete, which will also reduce noise. Riordon said “1990s-style skateboard parks are going by the way of the dinosaur,” adding that while he understands the need for modernization, the halfpipe may be too hard for some skaters to part with. “It would be like losing a good friend … it would be sad to see it just chopped up and sent off to a recycling plant,” he said. Skaters have proposed various alternatives, according to Riordon, such as moving the halfpipe to a space underneath a railroad bridge close to Cushing Park. A more likely scenario, Riordon said, would be donating the halfpipe to

From 2010 to 2020, Douglas County’s population grew by 25% to just over 360,000 people.

Denver Parks and Recreation to be used in its Ruby Hill Park. But the halfpipe’s survival faces uncertainty. “I know there has been some interest in reusing (the halfpipe),” said Lee, the open space manager. “But it’s been there for 20-plus years. We don’t know the condition underneath and there are policy regulations as far as disposing of city equipment. So, I don’t see that as a possibility.” Another area of concern is the new skate park’s size. The current skate park in Cushing is about 8,000 square feet, according to Lee. For the rebuild, the city is proposing around 6,000. “I’m lobbying for increasing the size of it, if we could,” Lee said. “But we only have so much money to spend on the park, so there are limiting factors.” Riordon said the cut presents a significant loss for a park that was, compared to others, already small. Still, Riordon said the city has made a “concerted effort” to appease everyone in the community, including skaters. This was evident during the Dec. 14 meeting, where he said there was a positive, constructive atmosphere. “I think the community in general is going to be happy,” Riordon said of the plans. “(When people skate) it’s a melting pot, it’s a place where people learn to get along with each other from all different walks of life,” he said. “It’s a good thing for our community to have.”

LIFE

Often, they teach customers about more than food BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ometimes when customers enter Cafe Jordano, a longstanding Italian restaurant in Lakewood, they inquire about the lack of romantic music and quiet ambiance. Owner Elisa Heitman, who was born and raised in Naples, Italy, takes a moment to explain: that is simply the American impression of her homeland. “In Italy, the restaurants do not have dim lights and they have lots of people that talk,” Heitman said, “And they’re definitely not quiet.” That’s just one of the parts of her country that Heitman seeks to share with customers through her restaurant, which has been in the community since 1991. Heitman and dozens of other restaurateurs across the Denver Metro Area bring the food and culture of their homelands to local communities. Often, they’re correcting stereotypes and connecting Coloradans to novel ideas about far away places. For Farah-Jane Jean Pierre, owner of Fritay Haitian Cuisine food truck, she’s teaching many that not all Haitian food is spicy and that her home country is more than what is seen on the news. For Grant and Yoona Conrad, owners of Hangry Ohana, they’re spreading Aloha and introducing locals to the sometimes-unexpected flavors of Hawaiian barbecue.

More to Haiti

When Jean Pierre moved to Denver three years ago, the only Haitian restaurant she knew of was closing down, she said. Previously, she had been in New York, where the food of her home country was abundant and easy to find. With degrees in culinary arts and hospitality and a group of friends encouraging her to start her own restaurant, Jean Pierre soon decided to take a course in opening a food truck. Now, the recentlyopened Fritay Haitian Cuisine food truck

sits at 8615 East Colfax Avenue in Denver. During the time she was preparing to open her food truck, Jean Pierre worked with her mother and aunt, both of whom still live in Haiti, to develop her recipes, she said. “And then I put my own touch on them,” she said. The truck serves common Haitian street food like plantains, rice and black beans, poul fri (fried chicken) and griyo (fried pork). Much of the food is prepared in a traditional haitian marinade called epis, which is a blend of herbs, garlic, peppers, vinegar and oil. With many customers having never tried Haitian food, Jean Pierre often provides samples and explains a bit about her cooking process. “There’s a misconception that Caribbean people eat a lot of spicy food,” Jean Pierre said. “But that doesn’t mean all our food is spicy.” Jean Pierre, who moved to the United States a month after the deadly 2010 earthquake in Haiti, hopes to address other misconceptions about her country as well. “With everything happening in Haiti right now, there’s bad news all the time,” she said, “But to me, there’s more to Haiti, more than the news.” She said she hopes those curious about the country will try her food to learn a bit about it. “You get a taste of Haiti,” she said. “Even though you’ve never been to Haiti.” Spread the Aloha Grant and Yoona Conrad met in college on the Hawaiian island of Oahu where they both participated in a local ROTC program. Grant started working in the restaurant industry while there and fell in love with the island’s food, he said. The couple eventually moved to Colorado, where Grant was raised. Grant was working as a district manager for Wendy’s at the time but in 2016, he decided to open Hangry Ohana, a Hawaiian barbeque food truck. Two years later, they opened their first storefront location in Parker and later opened restaurants in Fountain and Monument. Now, Yoona, who grew up in Hawaii, gets

January 6, 2022

to enjoy the food she grew up with, which isn’t very common in the Denver Metro Area. “I get homesick like most people,” she said. “Grant’s cooking skills and business skills help me not miss home as much.” The couple used a mix of taste memory, Yoona’s family recipes, and their own flavors to develop the dishes now served in the fast-casual restaurant. Some of the main items include chicken katsu, kalua pork, macaroni salad and bacon fried rice. It’s not just the food from Hawaii that the couple is providing, it’s also the culture. One thing Yoona likes to do is “spread the Aloha” with their customers, she said. “Aloha is like a term for love and caring and saying hi,” she said. “It’s a good, warm comfort type of word and we want to instill that in our restaurant culture so our customers feel at home and get a little bit of the island experience.” Cafe Jordano When Heitman moved to Colorado in 1979, she quickly fell in with the restaurant industry. She met her then-husband and about a decade later, the couple opened Cafe Jordano – named for their son. “Everybody said ‘you’re crazy, you’re never going to make it,” she said in an interview with Colorado Community Media. Now, it’s 31 years later and Heitman says it was reasonable prices and word of mouth exchanges that maintained and grew the restaurant. Many of the restaurant’s dishes are a blend of traditional recipes combined with their own unique twist, Heitman said. While visitors sometimes only think of spaghetti or lasagna when they first glance at the menu, Heitman’s offerings include many other dishes like Pollo Elegante, a chicken marsala dish with mushrooms and a splash of cognac, and Cod Alla Pomodoro Fresco, made up of cod, olive oil, tomatoes garlic and basil over linguini. Heitman’s personal favorite is the linguini with fresh clams. “It’s what I grew up on,” Heitman said. The restaurant makes all of its sauces and meatballs in house and buys some ingredients, including their bread, straight from Italy.

As a person who learned to love the arts — visual and performing — as a young child, I have been so saddened by the limitations COVID has placed on our world, near and far. And I’m sure my sadness can’t

MASKS FROM PAGE 1

“Wearing masks indoors slows the spread of respiratory viruses,” Dawn Comstock, executive director of Jefferson County Public Health, said in the news release. “Last month’s COVID-19 surge was reduced because people in our communities wore masks and got vaccinated, including booster doses. Continuing these strategies will save lives as we experience the rapid growth of the omicron variant as well as increasing influenza cases. “We cannot become complacent,” Comstock added. Here’s a look at the mask requirements in several metro counties. Tri-County Health Tri-County’s broader mask mandate applies in public indoor places, such as event spaces, businesses, restaurants, gyms, government buildings and facilities, offices, and other spaces that are not considered an individual’s residence. The mask mandate applies to all people age 2 and older in all public indoor spaces in Adams and Arapahoe counties. It took effect in late November. Tri-County also provides certain

public health services in Douglas County but no longer has authority over countywide public health orders, such as mask mandates, in that county. The newly formed Douglas County Health Department has not issued a mask mandate. The order for Adams and Arapahoe was to 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. See the current capacity at tinyurl. com/ICUcapacityregional. The order allows what it calls “fully vaccinated facilities” to be excepted from the mask requirement. Those are businesses and events that choose to implement a policy that verifies that 95% of all individuals within their public indoor space are fully vaccinated. Tri-County announced it would extend its current school mask mandate, an order requiring masks for all people age 2 and older in schools and child care settings. The order took effect on Sept. 1 and was initially set to remain in effect until Dec. 31 unless extended. Now, the school mask policy extends for at least 30 days — until Jan. 31 unless it’s further extended,

O’Guin said. See information about exemptions to the orders at tchd.org/825/publichealth-orders. “Please continue to wear a mask in indoor public places, wash your hands, get tested if you have symptoms or have a known exposure to someone who has COVID-19 and avoid large gatherings,” O’Guin’s statement said. Denver Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, joined by metro-area public health leaders, on Nov. 23 announced a new face covering order for Denver as part of a “coordinated approach to prevent the region’s hospital system from collapsing,” according to the City of Denver’s website. The order has been extended through Feb. 3, the website says. Similar to the other metro-area orders, masksare required indoors for everyone age 2 and older in all public indoor spaces. Also echoing the other counties, Denver’s website adds: “Facilities must require face coverings for all indoor spaces OR choose to operate as a fully vaccinated facility and verify proof of full vaccination before entry.” The website also adds: “This public health order does not change face

covering requirements in schools and childcare facilities, where masks have been required since August.” Additionally, employees working in high-risk settings and employees for the City and County of Denver are required to be fully vaccinated, the website says.

Recent orders came after advisory Before several of the counties’ recent orders, metro Denver health officials urged residents to wear masks in public indoor spaces in a Nov. 5 announcement that was called a statewide “public health advisory.” The advisory was issued by the Metro Denver Partnership for Health, which includes the public health agencies of Boulder, Broomfield, Jefferson and Denver counties as well as Tri-County Health. MDPH is supported and staffed by the Colorado Health Institute, according to the Dec. 28 news release. “As the more transmissible COVID-19 omicron variant takes hold in the metro region and across Colorado, the Metro Denver Partnership for Health (MDPH) is continuing its regional approach to stop the spread of COVID-19 by retaining or extending local public health orders requiring face coverings in indoor public settings,” the news release said.

performances again, although apprehensive about health issues, of course. It will require a wardrobe of masks and a proof of vaccination in my wallet to feed my soul! In many venues, seating will be spaced out, and perhaps therefore pricier. Masks are required in all the performance spaces I’m hearing about, starting with our local Town Hall Arts Center in Downtown Littleton, which will open “Little Shop of Horrors,” directed by Robert Wells, Jan. 28 to March 6. Meek Seymour, a budding botanist who works in a struggling flower shop, discovers a new plant. It demands to be fed blood and uses foul language. (This one is not for the small set.) Town Hall has made it through with a devoted, small staff and hard-working board. Its popular education programs for kids have resumed and will hopefully offer summer happy times for budding theatricals and those who want to learn the technical parts of entertainment as well. “Once on This Island” and “The Wedding Singer” will wrap up the spring and run into summer. Watch also for an announcement of “Town

Hall Sessions: an intimate concert series.” Stanton Gallery will next host an exhibit called “Contrast,” opening Jan. 28. Lone Tree Arts Center and Parker’s PACE Center are offering programming as well, which will no doubt increase. Watch for concert announcements by local symphonic organizations: Littleton Symphony, Arapahoe Philharmonic, Lone Tree Symphony, Parker Symphony, Englewood Arts Presents, and for news of these organizations as they work with children ... I’d love to see more interchange among these organizations as we start a new year, with new rules ... all could benefit. Area colleges and universities add strength to the arts scene as well, and I hope more area folks will discover the really lovely Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College, and I hope, some music programming open again to the community, eventually ... Littleton’s newly-formed Arts and Culture Commission has completed a strategic plan and connected with arts organizations. Lone Tree has an Arts Commission. Englewood Arts Presents connects with education projects in the schools especially well. Each community follows a different path. We hope to gain better
