Local teen fights eating disorder out of state No local care options available for youth

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the COVID-19 pandemic pushed schools to around the country to can-

cel in-person classes, Emma Warford was 15 years old, an active athlete, a good student and functioning well.

However, as days turned to weeks and weeks to months, Warford said she began worrying about her weight while sitting at home in quarantine. The thensophomore started count-

ing calories, admitting she became obsessed with her food intake.

Even after school returned to in-class learning, Warford said she continued to latch onto her calorie-counting habit, calling it her “coping mechanism” for stress.

In 2021, Warford, who lives in both Highlands Ranch

and Centennial, said she went to see her regular-care physician who took notice of her weight loss.

“My doctor noticed that I had completely fallen off my growth chart,” the now 17-year-old said. “They tried to get me some therapy and a nutritionist to work with.”

When asked how much

weight she lost, a choked-up Warford said more than 40 pounds.

Warford was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight and a SEE HEALTH, P6

Arapahoe County commissioners on June 28 signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with representatives from the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming, pledging to better educate county residents about the area’s earlier inhabitants and serve as stronger advocates for Native issues.

“We’ve been wanting to establish better ties with descendants of our area’s original inhabitants for some time, and this agreement increases communication and offers more opportunities for all of us to work together on any number of issues,” said Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Jackson.

Following more than a year of discussion with the tribe, county commissioners said they were grateful to improve on a relationship that had not been reaffirmed for about 20 years, according to county staff.

The MOA seeks to broaden the scope of

Briefly In Englewood Arapahoe County unveils 2021 annual report Colorado’s third-largest county is emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic with a new public health department, a historic and long-awaited relationship with the Northern Arapaho Tribe, and a focus on economic development. County officials shared these accomplishments as part of the inaugural State of the County address on June 29.

Concurrent with the event, the county released its 2021 Annual Report, highlighting how the county has continued to deliver efficient, innovative, and cost-effective services to area residents and businesses amid the pandemic-related challenges of the past few years.

“While a big chunk of our time has been committed to responding to COVID-19 and recovery over the past two years, with great success, we’re absolutely energized about getting back to the business of running the county,” Arapahoe County Commissioners Board Chair Nancy Jackson told the attendees at the State of the County event. “[What we’re discussing today] is only a small percentage of the great work that happens in the county every day.”

The report covers the fiscal year that ended in December 2021. It focuses on how the county handled the latter part of COVID-19 crisis while staying focused on long-term goals and embracing the evolving needs and priorities of residents, businesses, internal staff, and other community stakeholders. The county accomplished this while sustaining, and occasionally improving, service levels as it also developed and executed new strategies for delivering programs and initiatives. These include:

Helping 112 area small businesses with almost $4.5 million in stabilizing relief grants. Distributing emergency rental assistance to individuals and families three times faster than the national rate. Providing job-searching resources, online workshops, and trainings to more than 140,000 community members. Granting and sharing more than $21 million with community open spaces properties. Growing 6,533 pounds of produce for distribution to area food banks. Taking a regional approach and leadership role in addressing homelessness and opioid addiction. Helping more than 11,000 local veterans access benefits. Making $5.9 million in pavement improvements to unincorporated parts of the county. Welcoming 36,854 visitors to the annual Arapahoe County Fair, 10,000 more than the previous attendance record. Funding 80 local arts organizations with $2.3 million.

Winning awards for accuracy and productivity in its finance, public works, and medicolegal operations, among others.

Rep. Crow talks Supreme Court rulings, filibuster, Ukraine during town hall Congressman reflects on ‘tumultuous four years’

BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A once-in-a-century pandemic, a violent insurrection, mounting inflation and war in Ukraine. U.S. Rep. Jason Crow’s first two terms in Congress were unlike anything he expected.

“It’s been a tumultuous four years to say the least,” Crow told a crowd of constituents during a June 30 town hall in Littleton.

As the Democratic congressman reflected, he also fielded questions about the challenges ahead which range from stalled human and voting rights legislation to ongoing support for Ukrainians facing a Russian invasion.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade — the landmark ruling that protected a woman’s right to an abortion for nearly 50 years — Crow said he would work with his colleagues to pass a national abortion protection law to prevent “secondclass citizenship in America for women.”

The court’s ruling — which has already triggered abortion bans in several states — has raised fears of

future erosions of LGBTQ rights and voting protections.

“With all the news that’s coming out of the Supreme Court these days, it’s frankly terrifying,” said Littleton resident Sarah Malatesta.

“I have a lot of work in Florida, I have a lot of work in Texas. I know Colorado’s protected things but it doesn’t matter if it’s not the whole country.”

The House of Representatives has passed the Equality Act, which bans discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation and gender identity and Crow said he would be “legislating very hard to codify” the right to abortion, at least in the House.

The House has also passed two voting bills, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, which would establish federal standards for elections by making Election Day a federal holiday, mandate a minimum number of days for early voting and allow voters in all states to vote by mail.

But those bills are doomed in the Senate due to a rule, known as the filibuster, that requires a 60-vote majority for most major legislation to pass in the chamber, a nearimpossible feat for most Democratic policies.

“We’re not going to be able to get that through the Senate if the filibuster remains in place,” Crow said, adding he supports abolish-

ing the filibuster to push legislation through by a simple majority vote.

“That rule, by the way, is not in the constitution,” Crow said. “It is now being used to stop progress for things that are overwhelmingly supported by the American people.”

Crow also addressed questions about the U.S.’s continued aid for Ukraine, which has been defending itself against a Russian invasion for more than four months.

Crow called the invasion a “terrible disaster” and said he was proud to vote for billions in aid for the country that passed through multiple bills in both the House and Senate.

Congress has so far approved $40 billion in aid for Ukraine to pay for weapons, economic support, food assistance, health care, migration and refugee assistance and more.

“This is the first time since World War II where you’ve had a nationstate in Europe make a decision ... to take by force without reason or provocation another sovereign democratic nation,” Crow said. “We have an interest to make sure that Democracy survives.”

Other issues raised by constituents included mental health resources, updates on immigration reform and how communities are addressing homelessness.

Crow touted $2 million he secured in funding for more inpatient beds for the Aurora Mental Health Center and said he is currently working with the Cherry Creek School District and Children’s Hospital Colorado to expand mental health resources.

On immigration, Crow acknowledged talks of reform have been stalled but said he is hoping to push new dialogue soon. He said fixing the U.S.’s immigration system could be a key way to improve the workforce and reduce inflation.

And homelessness, which Crow said “is surging” in his district — which includes Littleton and Englewood — as well as across the country, needs to be addressed in a

regional way, he said.

He turned to Littleton Mayor Kyle Schlachter, who joined Crow for the town hall, to speak on Littleton’s model for homelessness.

“The first thing to do is realize our unhoused population are people,” Schlachter said.

Schlachter and the rest of Littleton’s elected leaders and city officials have been working with the neighboring cities of Englewood and Sheridan on an initiative called the Tri-Cities Homeless Action Plan, a multipronged approach to providing resources to the cities’ homeless populations.

Projects include building more affordable housing, staffing a “response team” to help people understand the bureaucratic process of obtaining driver’s licenses and birth certificates and establishing a “navigation center” that can connect people who are homeless with various social programs.

“That alone is not going to solve everything there, but it’s a step in the right direction,” Schlachter said.

While Crow acknowledged issues nationwide such as the “rise of extremism” from some of his House colleagues and a deflated electorate frustrated with a lack of progress, he maintained that there was still an opportunity to work across the aisle.

Crow pointed to two major bills that passed both the House and Senate with large bipartisan support; the $550 billion infrastructure law and a gun reform package known as the Safer Communities Act. He noted that those bills were not perfect, such as the gun law, which Crow said is “not everything I would want, but it is something.”

But he said working in a bipartisan way was crucial for advancing major legislation, especially given the House and Senate’s narrow Democratic majorities.

“I actually want to pass laws,” Crow said. “The antidote to apathy … is to show that government works.”

distorted perception of weight. According to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, or CDC, an anorexic teen will skip meals, eat small portions, become obsessed with counting calories, or, in some cases, starve themselves.

During the pandemic, health organizations across the U.S. sounded the alarm in rising cases of youth and teens being admitted into emergency rooms with mental health issues, including eating disorders.

According to a CDC report, between 2020 and 2021, emergency room visits for teens with mental health issues increased by 24%.

The CDC reported that female teens between the ages of 12 and 17 were primarily seen in emergency rooms due to complications caused by an eating disorder.

Zach Zaslow, the Children’s Hospital Colorado director of government relations, said mental health and eating disorder cases for youth and teens were already on the rise in the United States. When the pandemic hit in 2020, it exacerbated the issues to crisis levels.

In 2021, after the general therapy and working with a nutritionist did not work, Warford’s condition became worse, leading her to a visit at Children’s Hospital Colorado where her heart rate was around 29.

The normal heart rate for a teenager is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amid calls for more funding and services to help address the growing mental heath crisis in America’s youth and teenagers, officials at Children’s Hospital Colorado say progress was made in 2022.

While dealing with the crisis is going to be a marathon to develop effective change to an outdated system, Zach Zaslow, director of government relations at Children’s Hospital Colorado, said the Colorado General Assembly and lawmakers in Washington are starting to listen.

At the state level, Zaslow said, Colorado earmarked $450 million of American Rescue Plan Act funding.

“This is a big step because we have to make sure children and youth are getting their fair share,” he said. “Some of these funds will go to schools, improving the workforce, therapy and foster care.”

At the national level, Zaslow

said, some laws being introduced can make a big impact on helping an overwhelmed system that only got worse after the COVID pandemic started in 2020.

A bill Zaslow said shows promise is Senate Bill 4472, the Health Care Capacity for Pediatric Mental Health Act, introduced by Sens. Bob Casey, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, and Bill Cassidy, a Republican from Louisiana.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, 1 in 5 children and adolescents experience mental health issues each year. Between the years 2016 and 2020, emergency room visits for children’s mental health more than doubled in the U.S. Senate Bill 4472 looks to address the struggling system by including critical investments that will bolster the pediatric mental health workforce and improve the availability of a full continuum care for kids.

Zaslow said the bill will go a long way in helping improve

struggle began. With her daughter sick, Hendrickson described a medical care system that diagnosed her daughter but then left her in the wind trying to figure out what to do.

In Colorado, mental health has reached crisis levels, causing care facilities to be full and parents and families struggling to find a place to seek treatment for their youth and teens.

Hendrickson said when she was told the eating disorder clinic in Colorado was full, she started calling other states, getting on waitlists, trying to use the internet to educate herself and trying to

capacity issues and mental health facilities.

In Colorado, Zaslow described a system that is at capacity in its ability to treat youth and teenagers dealing with mental illness.

For example, 17-year-old Emma Warford was diagnosed with an eating disorder in 2021. With her condition at critical levels, doctors recommended she be admitted to a clinic that specializes in treating eating disorders.

Colorado’s centers were full.

Warford was sent to Washington state to get critical treatment.

Zaslow said with the health care system lagging in properly recognizing and treating mental health, youth like Warford either have to be sent out of state or never get treatment at all.

The House, HR 7236 aims to expand availability of mental, emotional and behavioral health services under the Medicaid program.

While in its early stages, Zaslow said, this bill also shows promise.

balance it all,” the mother of three said. “You know as a parent you are making mistakes and will continue to make mistakes. There really are no resources or advocacy for families like us. You are left dealing with a system you do not know all on your own. It was hard to get clear information. You are really on your own and you are lost.”

Zaslow said Hendrickson is not alone.

“COVID turned on eating disorders, but kids and families were being told to turn off mental health,” he said. “We (as a system) have to really look at how we do things.

The challenges (Hendrickson) has had to go through with care navigation and work on her own should not happen. If we had a cohesive system to help with mental health, families wouldn’t be out there doing this alone.”

Hendrickson said it was hard to drive her teenage daughter up to a strange facility in another state and leave her, but she knew it was the right choice.

Today, now recovering, Warford said treatment was hard but knows there is no way she could have overcome her worst days at home with her mom.

“If my mom had made me do the things they did, it would have ruined our relationship,” Warford said. “There was nothing my family members or a therapist could do for me then. Now I am physically better, but I still have an eating

disorder. Treatment was what I needed.”

Pushing for change As Warford has returned to a routine life and sticks to her treatment plan to avoid a relapse, she has teamed up with children’s hospital to do more.

Warford, who will be a senior in high school this fall, is now taking aim at state and federal lawmakers. The teenager said her goal is to put a face to the struggles this country is facing in helping young people dealing with mental illness.

In June, Warford, along with officials from Children’s Hospi-

tal Colorado, took their cause to Washington, speaking directly with lawmakers from Colorado and all over the U.S. about what her family dealt with in trying to get her treatment.

Hendrickson said in speaking to the public and to lawmakers, she wants to stress that in this country, “just because someone looks good on the outside – we do not know what is going on on the inside. We need compassion and help.”

Zaslow said the courage Warford has shown in standing up and putting a face to not only eating disorder awareness, but also to

show lawmakers that real people are hurt by an outdated system, is impressive.

“She is part of important, meaningful steps to create change,” he said. “(Lawmakers) want to do the right thing but get confused and bogged down in legislative text. Having a real human being say this is the state of my world is huge. They too have children.”

With Children’s Hospital Colorado pushing for change at the state level and the Children’s Hospital Association pushing at the federal level, Zaslow said he believes change is starting to take shape nationwide.

Suspect in cold case murder found guilty Prosecutors say justice served after 40 years

BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An Arapahoe County jury found David Anderson, 62, guilty of murdering Sylvia Quayle in her Cherry Hills Village home in 1981. The June 30 verdict brings to a close a cold case that spanned more than four decades.

“For more than 40 years the defendant carried with him a dark secret, a secret that was finally revealed during this trial,” said Deputy District Attorney Grant Grosgebauer, one of the prosecutors on the case.

According to a district court affidavit, Quayle’s body was found by her father, William Quayle, in her home at 3800 S. Ogden St in Cherry Hills Village.

Police responded to his call of a “woman down” just before 8 a.m.

Aug. 4, 1981, and soon found her dead at the scene. Her father told officers he found Quayle’s body “lying on the living room floor, nude with her arms above her head” and a white towel covering her face, according to the affidavit.

Police noted Quayle’s hands were covered in blood and she had red marks on her neck, according to the affidavit. An investigation revealed she had been shot with a .22 caliber bullet on top of her head,

stabbed three times in her upper back and evidence showed strangulation, the affidavit said.

The case had been without a suspect for more than 25 years after DNA evidence in 1993 disproved another man’s false confession to the crime.

In 2000, a DNA sample of the suspect taken at the crime scene was submitted to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation but was left unidentified for two more decades.

In 2020, Cherry Hills Village police began working with Mitch Morrisey, whose company United Data Connect provided the department with genetic genealogy testing, a relatively new technology.

The company began developing leads for the unidentified DNA sample, which encompassed a pool of more than 3,300 people according to Morrisey.

Through extensive investigation, Morrisey’s team was able to hone in on one suspect and, on Jan. 17, 2021, a company investigator traveled to Cozad, Nebraska to secretly collect DNA from Anderson.

What he recovered were two separate trash bags found in the dumpster for the apartment complex where Anderson lived. About 15 items were tested, with DNA from a Vanilla Coke can matching the sample from the crime scene. Anderson was arrested in Nebraska on Feb. 10, 2021, and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

He initially faced a trial in early March but, after five days, jurors

were unable to reach a verdict and a judge declared a mistrial. On June 30 the jury returned guilty verdicts for Anderson on both counts of murder.

“We’re very grateful for the numerous investigators, analysts and forensic scientists who, through the decades, refused to let the passage of time deter them in their quest for justice,” said Chief Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo said. “We certainly hope that this small measure of justice brings some degree of peace to Sylvia Quayle’s family, who has waited more than 40 years for this result.”

Michelle Tovrea, who served as Cherry Hills Village’s police chief during the investigation and arrest of Anderson, paid respects to Quayle during a Feb. 25, 2021 press conference announcing Anderson’s arrest.

“Sylvia’s sister and family had the quote ‘beauty seen is never lost’ etched onto her grave marker, a very fitting reminder of the beautiful person she was,” said Tovrea, who retired March 4.

Quayle is remembered by those she knew as being “ambitious, vi-

the county’s outreach, education and advocacy efforts with the tribe. The binding document will help “educate the citizens of Arapahoe County about the Arapahoe and Cheyenne peoples’ living history and culture,” the MOA reads.

The signing comes nearly 158 years after the infamous Sand Creek Massacre during which Colorado troops killed an estimated 150 members of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes in what is now Kiowa County.

In 1878, the Northern Arapaho were forced to move from their native land in Colorado to the Wind River Reservation in central Wyoming. Today, around 10,000 members live on the reservation with members of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe.

According to the MOA, Arapahoe County will establish regular events and commemorations relating to the massacre including participating in the annual Sand Creek Massacre Healing Run later this year.

The run, which stretches 180 miles, seeks to commemorate the victims and survivors of the massacre.

Other pledges in the MOA include increasing

awareness and education of Northern Arapaho culture, historical events and current issues, respectful representation of the tribe in print, digital and visual contexts, publicizing tribal issues in the county and

creating a process to invite tribal members to appropriate county events and ceremonies.

Representatives from both the county and tribe plan to meet at least once every year, according to the MOA.

Transgender center marks anniversary of free closet Clothing provided in welcoming environment BYTAYLERSHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Not long after Erin Lowrey began working as a behavioral health specialist at the Transgender Center of the Rockies in 2020, she came across a collection of abandoned clothes in the back of the center. Lowrey asked a colleague what the clothes were for and was told it was the remnants of a previous gender-affirming clothing closet, and if she wanted to, she could organize them.

Knowing how difficult the shopping process can be for a person who is exploring their gender identity and expression, Lowrey worked with colleagues to organize the clothes for people to browse, as well as donate clothes they no longer needed or wanted.

It marked the start of Marsha’s Closet, a free gender-affirming closet that celebrated its one-year anniversary June 15. Rainbow-colored streamers decorated the center as a group of about 20 people gathered to commemorate the closet’s anniversary and its growth over the past year.

“It’s surreal,” said Lowrey, whose pronouns are she/they. “I was really glad that the community cared as much about it and thought it was as worthwhile as I did.”

Marsha’s Closet is a free collection of donated items including clothing, shoes, hygiene products and chest bind-

ers, which help flatten breast tissue, Lowrey said. The closet aims to offer gender-affirming clothing, which Lowrey defined as items that make people feel like who they are on the inside is represented on the outside.

It is one of several resources offered by the Transgender Center of the Rockies, a program of Mile High Behavioral Healthcare, located at 3460 S. Federal Blvd. in Sheridan.

“We provide holistic, gender-affirming resources to trans, non-binary and gender-nonconforming, and, you know, gender diverse folks from all over,” said Elliott Weil, a social program coordinator at the center. The center serves poeple statewide, Weil said.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Population Affairs, research shows gender-affirming care improves the mental health of gender diverse children and adolescents, who are at a higher risk for mental health issues, substance use and suicide. A 2021 national survey by the Trevor Project found that 42% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including more than half of transgender and nonbinary youth.

“Marsha’s Closet is a place for people to have the freedom and support to explore gender expression and find fun clothing accessories in a space where the people uplift them,” Lowrey said, estimating that between 20 and 50 people visit the closet weekly. “They are provided the warmth that I think everyone deserves when they are going through something as difficult as transition.”

Shopping can be scary and intimidat-

Marsha’s Closet, located at the Transgender Center of the Rockies, offers free clothes.

On June 15, 2022, clothes were displayed under a colorful tent outside in the back of the center as part of the closet’s one-year anniversary celebration.

ing for people who are exploring their gender identity and expression, Lowrey said, as people will often get judgmental looks and comments directed their way while shopping in public. It’s something Lowrey has witnessed while helping her partner, who is genderqueer, shop for clothes.

“Clothing can be such a deeply crucial part of gender expression and gender discovery. I know it was for me,” said Weil, who is transmasculine. He said it’s been amazing and refreshing to witness people find clothing in Marsha’s Closet they feel validated in.

“There’s such a cultural emphasis placed on gender dysphoria as the catalyst for discovering that we’re trans, or whatever, but I am a really big believer in gender euphoria, and like, demonstrating that what makes you feel comfortable and safe and validated and confident can be even more important,” Weil said.

The growth of the closet over the past year is because of the community, Lowrey said.

The center has luckily had a lot of community partners host clothing drives and fundraisers to help support the closet, Lowery added.. Clients and community members have also helped donate clothing racks and clothing items, which Lowrey said can be a healing experience for them as they pass on clothes to others.

“The way our growth has happened, really, I think, speaks to the strength of the community that we’re in,” Weil said. “They believe in us and uplift us.”

Sam Wilde, a nonbinary person with the pronouns they/them, looked through the closet for the first time during the June 15 celebration and brought some clothes to donate.

“I’m kind of a year-and-a-half into my transition, so finding clothes that align with that is difficult. So, it’s nice to have something like this,” said Wilde, who began volunteering for the center this year.

Wilde said the range of sections in the closet was really cool, and it was great to see binders and packers, which are

placed in underwear, given that those items can be hard to find. The best part of the event, though, was being with others.

“It’s nice to be surrounded by people in the community,” Wilde said. “Because, like, throughout the pandemic, I was pretty isolated, so it’s nice to be around other folks, especially in a safe space.”

Looking to the years ahead, Weil said he hopes to see more donations of higher-priced items such as breast forms as well as packing and tucking underwear.

Lowrey also hopes to see more donations of toiletries and cosmetics, as well as clothing for young people.

“I would really love to have, you know, clothing available all the way down to, like, preschool, because children can label and describe their gender as young as 3 or 4 years old,” Lowrey said, adding that the free resources would be helpful to parents who cannot afford to buy a new wardrobe.

However, one of the current challenges the closet faces is limited space, Weil said.

“Between our staff and between the closet, we’re just kind of outgrowing where we’ve lived for so long,” Weil said, adding that the location of the center can also sometimes be difficult for people to get to.

Danielle Bono, the director of the center, said she hopes in the next year, the closet will have its own designated space.

“We would love to have more of a physical space that could really showcase different outfits, different styles,” Bono said, adding she’d love to see more higher priced gender-affirming items, like wigs, be donated.

Overall, Lowrey hopes people know that Marsha’s Closet is a free, safe and friendly space for anyone who may be exploring their gender identity and expression.

“The clothes are here, whenever they’re ready for them. We would love to see them,” Lowrey said. “It’s never too early to come see what makes you happy — or too late.”

Gotto leads in District 2 race, District 4 margin narrow

Leslie Summey, left, and Regina EdmondCOURTESY PHOTO son.

Arapahoe County has two open commissioner seats

BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At press time, which was early due to the July 4 holiday, results were still coming in for two contested races for two Arapahoe County commissioner seats in the primary election June 28.

Overseeing a population of just under 650,000, the county’s five commissioners are responsible for a roughly $400 million budget that governs the county’s various departments including housing and human services, public works and parks and recreation.

Commissioners also coordinate with local, state and federal services.

In the race for District 2, which encompasses south-central Arapahoe County, Mark Gotto took a quick lead over Jason Presley in the Republican primary.

In November, the winner will face Democrat Jessica CampbellSwanson, a campaign manager and political consultant who ran unopposed, Nov. 8.

Current District 2 Commissioner Nancy Sharpe’s term will expire January 2023.

Gotto, a former councilmember for the City of Centennial, is running on his 20-year corporate career, which culminated in an executive role of a Fortune 100 company, as well as his time in public service as his main pitch to voters. Key priorities for him are targeting spending from the $550 billion federal infrastructure bill, maintaining a debt-free budget and reducing crime.

He has received endorsements and testimonials from Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko, former mayor Cathy Noon and former councilmember Carrie Penaloza.

Presley currently serves as a deputy sheriff for Arapahoe County and has served in the sheriff’s office for 17 years. In his bid for commissioner, Presley said he is focused on combating the rise in crime by increasing the sheriff’s office’s budget, managing the county’s new health department and working collaboratively with other agencies to address increased homelessness.

Both he and Gotto also support building a new jail in the county.

Presley did not list any endorsements on his campaign website.

Campbell-Swanson is endorsed by current county commissioners Carrie Warren-Gully, Nancy Jackson and Bill Holen. She also received endorsements from county Assessor PK Kaiser, Democratic Colorado state senators, house representatives and public education leaders.

In the race for District 4, which encompasses central Arapahoe County, Democrats Regina Edmondson and opponent Leslie Summey remained close in early vote counts. The race was too close to call at Colorado Community Media’s press time.

The winner of the Democratic primary will face Republican Bob Roth, who has served in multiple public service roles — including as mayor pro tem for the City of Aurora from 2013 to 2019 — Nov. 8. Roth ran unopposed in the Republican primary.

Current District 4 Commissioner Nancy Jackson’s term will expire January 2023.

Edmondson has served as a leader in the county’s business community, serving on the City of Aurora Business Advisory Board and the Aurora Rotary Club. Her platform includes supporting more affordable housing and other housing resources, such as rent assistance and subsidies, improving economic opportunities for businesses and partnering with various agencies and community centers to improve public safety.

She is endorsed by Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, Arapahoe County Commissioner Bill Holen and several other state and local elected leaders.

Summey is a Navy veteran and small business owner who focused a large part of her platform on advancing equity and human rights in Arapahoe County. She said she wants to address rising rates of domestic violence and easily accessible reproductive healthcare services, provide more attainable housing and services for those who are homeless, improve veterans’ care and make the county a more inclusive place for LGBTQ people.

Summey is endorsed by Aurora City Councilmembers Alison Coombs, Juan Marcano and Rubin Medina as well as state Rep. Steven Woodrow and several local community advocates.

his is the month each year where we celebrate our freedom. The month where we should be giving thanks to the heroes in our community.

Early in my career, many years FROM THE ago, our newspaper did a special section calling “Hometown Heroes.”

EDITOR I always looked forward to this section because we uncovered some extraordinary stories about people living among us as neighbors.

I am a true believer in paying respects and honoring our veterans and the people currently serving in the U.S. military. What they do and are trained to do is extraordinary.

However, I also value what many Thelma Grimes of our residents do here at home.

For them, this column is dedicated to you because are you are the epitome of what America could and should stand for every day.

In this column, I want to say thank you to the volunteers who work tirelessly to help veterans. Whenever I take my dad to the VA — they are always there with a smile and ready to get us wherever we are trying to go.

Beyond the VA, we have organizations such as the VFW and American Legion throughout our communities. These groups quietly do great work every year.

They hold ceremonies, honor members of our community and hand out scholarships to our youth.

Speaking of scholarships, it is mind-boggling how much small organizations step up year after year to hand our graduating high school seniors a check.

Take groups such as the Englewood Rotary Club. This group handed out $10,000. Not a small amount — and their work, while not front and center, is important.

To the volunteers of organizations who every day wake up to prepare food boxes for our community members in need — you are heroes. You are appreciated.

To the volunteers who join boards, clubs and organizations to battle child abuse — you are appreciated.

To the volunteers who are called in when police are trying to help a victim of a crime — you are appreciated. Many of you are victims yourselves and understand what someone is going through. The courage it takes to set aside your pain to help another deal with theirs is incredible.

To the volunteers who work tirelessly to help women out of domestic abuse — we appreciate you. This is no easy task and you all work hard.

To organizations who help refugees fleeing their home countries to find peace in America — we appreciate you. Many of you open your homes, wallets and time just to help a stranger feel welcome.

To organizations dedicated to making an effort to help young transgenders, people coming out as gay — to the therapy, services and support you all tirelessly provide — we appreciate you.

The space in this column is not big enough to cover how many groups and organizations who do amazing things every day — know you are appreciated.

If you are reading this column and know of an organization or individual we should recognize as community heroes, please let us know. Writing about those doing good work is a priority for me as an editor.

Friends who are like family, and family who become friends

ach morning I participate in a daily devotional with a friend of mine who has become more like family as he and I have been friends for the past 27 years.

He is very much my brother.

WINNING And I have been blessed to count many other friends WORDS who over a lifetime have also become more like brothers to me as well. This past week the devotional that we participated in examined this phenomenon, where friends become like family, and family members turn out to also become our best friends.

Our friends who have beMichael Norton come part of our family have stayed with us through the good times and the bad times, they have mourned our losses and celebrated our victories. They have stood by our side when others walked away, and with expectation or question, we always have their back too. There is a bond forged by going through years, sometimes decades of doing life together.

I consider myself fortunate to have both men and women who have been friends for many years, people who I love and respect and who I would do anything for when needed or asked. Friends who I consider sisters, and friends I consider brothers. In some cases, we talk, meet, or call regularly, if not daily. And in other cases, weeks or months

could go by, but when we reconnect, it is like we have never missed a beat, we pick up right from where we left off. And when we do, it feels so good to get caught up.

My siblings and I are now at that age where we have endured much, laughed plenty, fought miserably, loved unconditionally, mourned our losses, and celebrated new life.

I love when we do get together, and when we do, take that special picture of the four of us.

I am sharing this with you because having participated in the devotional I mentioned earlier and reaching out to others to see what they thought, I heard something that made me a little sad. Some people shared that they too enjoyed friendships that were certainly like family, and family who were best friends.

However, some shared that the younger generations were not as loyal to friendship as the past generations. One comment I received was rather disturbing as they noted that their children saw their friendships as disposable, here today and gone tomorrow.

And there was no worry, as they would just find other people to “hang out with.”

Hanging out with people could mean friendship, or it could just mean companionship. Whether that companion will be around in a few years is yet to be determined, let alone for many years or decades. When I did some more digging, asking other friends and neighbors what they were seeing, they

Fewer freedoms, more politics GUEST COLUMN

Linda Newell

F

or many, this particular Fourth of July was a hard one to celebrate.

The recent revocation of our rights to make decisions about our own bodies was shocking. Not me. Yes, I wept for my mother and grandmothers who fought so hard for the right to individually own a house, have their own credit account, and earn equal pay. I wept for our country that just took a nosedive back to the 1950s where people with uteruses are supposed to be “barefoot and pregnant” … and controlled. But I literally bawled with my children who want to have kids of their own but are now afraid of having their own lives sacrificed (or being put in prison) if something goes wrong during their pregnancy.

As one of the three co-equal branches of our government, the judicial branch was set up to strive to uphold the Constitution and rule of law and protect us from the politics of the other two branches. But we’ve seen the opposite from the current majority of justices.

Instead of protecting our rights, they are now taking them away.

With voting rights, the Supreme Court has been chipping away for almost a decade at the rights originally held in reverence in our democratic republic. This fall, they may take even more of those

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

echoed a similar feeling of “temporary friendships.” For me the question became, “Why?” So, I am going to do further research and have more discussions around this to better understand the difference between generations when it comes to long-lasting and loving friendships vs. temporary or disposable relationships.

My hope is that those of us who have been blessed with such relationships will share the many benefits of having friends who are like family and family who have become our best friends. There is so much I am learning from the younger generations each and every day as I am given plenty of opportunity to work with people

rights away in a case they’re reviewing now. But this should be no surprise either. It’s clear the majority wants to go back to a Constitution and Bill of Rights (written by all white wealthy men) where Black persons were legally allowed to be enslaved and only counted as three-fifths of a person and where women had many fewer rights than men.

But now with the 2022 Supreme Court and some state legislatures, Americans with uteruses have fewer rights than a firearm.

They say all politics is local. But what if it’s hyper-local? Not just our state, county, or town, but our own body. Taking away our right to the very life of our own body, endangering our mental health, and blocking our ability to economically prosper and pursue happiness is not what our nation stands for, is it?

The judicial branch is no place for politics. It was intended to be the bastion of the rule of law.

What does all this have to do with our local community? Everything. In Colorado, we are lucky to still have protected voting rights as we’re noted for having the best election laws in the nation (which I’m proud to have voted on).

We’re also fortunate to have full rights to make medical decisions about our own

across multiple generations. And now it could be our turn to teach and share the meaning of having such powerful relationships.

It doesn’t matter if it is even one friend who is like family or many friends, the point is you are there for each other, available and unconditionally.

How about you? Are you someone who has enjoyed having your friends become like brothers and sisters? Have your family members become like best friends? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ xinnix.com, and when we can build long-lasting and loving relationships with friends and family, it really will be a better than good life.

bodies thanks to state Rep. Meg Froelich’s leadership. And because Colorado has done well with gun responsibility laws, we have done our best to maintain our right just to live.

So, thank you, fellow Coloradans, for creating a common sense, live-and-letlive state. We have shown other states that a “free society” can work and prosper. But are we really free if a pregnant person can’t take a road trip across state lines without the fear of potentially losing their life? Is this a wake-up call to protect or rebuild our fragile democracy?

We knew this political game was coming. The justices swore under oath that Roe v. Wade was “settled law” and not in jeopardy. Some even personally promised to certain U.S. senators. But if you knew you could have a lifetime position of power, would you tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Well, some of us still would.

OBITUARIES AITON

Margaret Ann “Peggy” Aiton August 16, 1952 - June 21, 2022

Peggy Aiton, known for her extraordinary compassion, empathy, and humanity, passed away on June 21, 2022, at the age of 69.

A Colorado native, Peggy spent her formative years in Englewood, Colorado.

The daughter of William and Barbara Aiton, she was the fifth of six children. As you can imagine, there was never a dull moment at Aiton Place. Peggy graduated from Englewood High School in 1970 and began classes at Arapahoe Community College.

However the draw of the Rocky Mountains was irresistible for her, and she eventually settled in Oak Creek, Colorado. Soon after, she started a family with her husband Carl, who predeceased her in 1983. She remained in the area and has been a valuable member of the South Routt County community for nearly 50 years, in Oak Creek and later Steamboat Springs.

Her energy and sense of humor were contagious; she was truly the life of the

party. An amazing self taught cook, she kept everyone’s stomachs full and their sides splitting with laughter. She often served as activity coordinator at annual family reunions. Peggy undoubtedly brought joy to every occasion.

Throughout her life, Peggy had an innate ability to help people through their most difficult times. She was often a comfort to people in their final days, including as caregiver for her mother, Barbara, for the last several years of Barbara’s life. Returning to her beloved Routt County after Barbara’s death, Peggy utilized her exceptional gift as caregiver by starting her own business, Guardian Angels Companion Services. Serving the elderly, infirm, and incapacitated in that area, she leaves behind a legacy of hard work and selflessness.

Peggy is survived by her sons, Jesse and Grant, grandson Dylan, sisters Winnie and Carol, and brothers Mike and Barry.

LOCAL

LIFE

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ummer is here. July is upon us.

And perhaps nothing defines the season as well as a cold, creamy scoop or two on a cone — or in a bowl, if you prefer. What else appeals so effortlessly to all ages, putting summertime smiles on kids and kids-at-heart?

In fact, Americans consume about 23 gallons of ice cream annually, according to the International Dairy Foods Association. And in case you didn’t know, July has been celebrated as National Ice Cream Month since Ronald Reagan signed the proclamation way back in ‘80s. July is also, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, tied with August for the two most popular months to eat ice cream — a statistic that surely surprises no one.

Ask a few people who has the best ice cream in the Denver metro area, and then sit back and be amazed at the number of answers you get.

In the old days, it was easy. There was Baskin Robbins and DQ, and for a special occasion, you might get a counter seat at Dolly Madison.

Then there was Farrell’s, and later, Swensen’s, but these were both chains that came here from other places. Nothing about them was particularly connected to Colorado. And in more recent history, the opening of Magill’s in Lakewood and Bonnie Brae in south Denver signaled that a new era was at hand.

These days, the continuing trend of boutique ice cream joints using premium ingredients has ushered in what is undoubtedly the golden era of cold and creamy goodness in the metro area. When you make a list, it’s easy to see there are several formidable contenders cranking out delicious frozen delights. So, making a list is what we have done.

To be clear, this is no contest. The order of the list is not scientific or any type of ranking at all, but merely the order in which they popped into the author’s head. You may use it as a type of map, as it were, to the coolest mini road trip in the metro. Pun intended.

• Bonnie Brae Ice Cream opened in 1986 and has been cranking out the cold stuff ever since.

• Little Man Ice Cream Company started in 2008 in the Lower Highlands neighborhood and has grown to six distinct locations across the Front Range including — aside from the flagship store — The Little Man Ice Cream Factory, DANG Soft Serve, Old Town Churn, The Constellation and Sweet Cooies.

• Sweet Cow now has six locations plus a truck, the MooMobile. Their ice cream is made in small batches and crafted at each location.

• Liks Ice Cream has been a staple in Capitol Hill forever. They’re family-owned and now have a second location in Conifer.

• Nuggs, the brainchild of Chris and Nick O’Sullivan of Brother’s BBQ, has been serving cool, creamy treats to folks in Park Hill and Mayfair since 2014.

• Magill’s on the west side of Denver has had

you covered for the last four decades. This unassuming Lakewood strip-mall shop has them lined up most evenings, no matter the weather.

The huckleberry is to die for. Plus, it’s just fun to say huckleberry.

• Sweet Action opened on Broadway in 2009 and now has four locations serving flavors as fun as you’ll find anywhere, with plenty of vegan options in the mix. You can also find them in Washington Park, Uptown and Jefferson Park.

• High Point Creamery’s Erika Thomas and Chad Stutz have been serving ice cream with elevated flavor profiles in Hilltop, RINO and Berkeley. They also have a food truck they call “Big Pinky” — it’s pink — to cater to every ice cream need.

• Em’s Ice Cream in Park Hill is getting ready to launch a second location in Wheat Ridge at 26th and Kipling.

• Scrumptious can be discovered a bit further north in Olde Town Arvada. According to its website, the business makes all of their ice cream in-house.

• Inside Scoop in Littleton, with another location on Platte Street, serves 20 flavors that are homemade daily and go perfectly with a handcrafted waffle cone, which they also make fresh.

If your favorite didn’t make the list, don’t fret. But feel free to drop us a line about what makes it great, and we’ll update the web version of this story to keep the metro area’s ice cream addicts up to date on all of the news they need to know.

A brewery party under the big top

S

tarting a new business is never an easy prospect and that’s never been truer than in recent years. So, it’s no wonder that Arvada’s LUKI Brewery is making its birthday party one of the biggest days of the year for the second year in a row.

The brewery, 14715 W. 64th Ave., Unit A and B, in Arvada, is turning its anniversary into a three-day spectacular on July 15 through 17 that honors the family’s connection with the famous Ringing Brothers Circus.

“We decided every year we wanted to showcase a specific aspect of the circus,” said Jeff Smith, LUKI co-owner and head ringmaster, in a provided statement. “In our desire to bring wonder and entertainment, what better way than to showcase magic for our third season? Seeing a well-done magic performance brings out the little kid in all of us.”

Here’s what attendees can expect for each of the three days: Friday, July 15 The release of A Victim of Circus Pants, LUKI’s Hard Seltzer Slushy Bar. A create-your-own experience featuring flavors such as blue raspberry, lemon, lime, watermelon and cherry. This station will be available all weekend.

Release of the opening day original, Hop Spinning Hazy IPA Anniversary Circus-in-a-Box sales begin. These limited-edition boxes feature anniversary glassware, limited-edition stickers, goodies and one featured

growler guests can only get with the box.

Food truck: K and D’s Kitchen Saturday, July 16 Caricature drawings from noon to 3 p.m.

Face painting from 1 to 4 p.m.

Live music with Duke Justice from 3 Clarke Reader to 6 p.m.

A special event featuring Will Mannsz, Master of Magic, who creates a craft beer and comedy magic experience from 7 to 9 p.m.

Release of Poppin’ Off, a kettle corn cream ale and Zauberer’s Sour, a Berliner Weisse.

Food Truck: Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs, Buenos Nachos and Dapper Doughnut Sunday, July 17 At noon, help LUKI celebrate its anniversary with group cheers video and photo that will be captured with a drone. Free tasters will be provided for all participating at 1 p.m. for the flythrough at the brewery.

Live music with Howard Dlugasch from 2 to 4 p.m.

Movie Bingo at 6 p.m.

Release of Rypah!, a hazy rye IPA, and Rykko’s Hard Lemonade, a Lemonade-inspired seltzer.

Food Truck: Vinny + Marie’s Italian Street Food

“It’s been such a fun adventure through these past two years, and I’m still in awe over how the community has supported us the whole time,” Smith said. “We truly love and appreciate everyone who has visited us. This party is just as much for you as it is for us, and we’re looking forward to another year of unique and fun events.”

Colorado utilities should have enough power this summer They’re not so sure about summer 2023

BY MIGUEL OTÁROLA COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Summer heat has already spiked demand for power across the country.

Regulators are warning massive heat waves could overwhelm the grid and force utilities in several states to issue rolling blackouts.

Colorado utilities have told the Public Utilities Commission they have enough power to avoid disruptions during this year’s hottest months.

However, those companies and state regulators say plans to move beyond fossil fuels and serve a growing population have created uncertainty for electricity service next year.

CPR News spoke with representatives for Xcel Energy and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to get an update on this summer’s power supply.

Could we get rolling blackouts or other outages this summer?

Probably not. Xcel Energy and Black Hills Energy, the state’s two public electric utilities, say they don’t expect to cut service intentionally because of high energy demand.

However, those utilities have recommended their customers look for ways to reduce their energy use, including unplugging small appli-

ances and finding low-energy ways to stay cool.

Two of Xcel’s energy sources — a coal-fired generator in Pueblo and a hydropower plant west of Denver — are back in service after being offline earlier this year. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission says those power plants generate enough reserves for the company to use if there is a prolonged or unexpected heatwave.

Will Colorado’s grid stay strong if everyone has their air-conditioning units and appliances on?

Utilities like Xcel Energy think they will. Xcel spokesperson Kelly Flenniken said the company’s grid is built to run the way most people use energy, such as for air-conditioning.

“There certainly is a place for our customers to help and to make that bigger contribution in their behavior,” Flenniken said. “But we need to build a system assuming that behaviors kind of stay as they have or maybe change in some small ways.”

The biggest strain on Xcel’s energy demand isn’t air conditioning, Flenniken said: It’s the rapidly growing number of new customers as people continue to flock to the state.

Your Xcel bill has tons of small charges. Here’s what they’re for.

Does my energy bill rise depending on when I use electric appliances?

Yes. Xcel and Black Hills have begun to charge more for energy used during hours of highest demand.

Peak demand is usually between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.; overnight or in the morning is considered “off-peak.”

Xcel also has a program for commercial customers to save costs in exchange for reducing their energy use when the company anticipates extremely high demand.

Energy bills went up because of a cold snap last winter. Could the same thing happen because of a heatwave?

Much of that depends on the rest of the country. Natural gas prices skyrocketed during President’s Day weekend in 2021 because colder temperatures froze natural gas pipelines in other states. Interconnected western states expect to have limited resources this summer, which could make it difficult for Colorado to receive energy from them, said Public Utilities Commission chief economist Erin O’Neill.

Regulators expect utilities to use existing programs and strategies to lower energy use during extreme weather events, whether it’s a cold snap or a heatwave.

Is there a worst-case scenario that could lead to widespread outages in Colorado?

Flenniken with Xcel says there is.

But it would take an extreme situation, such as several energy sources failing or being offline during an extended and unexpected heatwave.

So the grid will likely remain stable this summer?

Yes, but companies and regulators

are worried about Summer 2023.

Xcel says some of their solar projects slated to go online next year could be delayed by a federal trade investigation into solar parts from Asia. If that happens, the company’s energy reserves will fall significantly. Public Utilities Commission Chair Eric Blank said he’s concerned it could lead Xcel to delay the closure of another coal-fired generator in Pueblo later this year, although company executives have said they don’t expect that to be necessary.

LIFEGUARDS FROM PAGE 1

grateful the staffing shortage is being addressed, the ability to recruit, train and hire new lifeguards takes time. As July begins, he’s not sure how much help it will be in getting more lifeguards, which the facility has been facing a shortage of since about August 2021.

People at Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Center.

COURTESY OF CITY OF ENGLEWOOD

Staffing shortage reduces services Public swimming pools across Colorado have faced staffing shortages, especially of lifeguards, this summer. The shortage not only caused Pirates Cove to delay its opening by a week, but also to close every Monday for the rest of the 2022 season, the facility announced June 23.

“We’re in uncharted waters,” said Anderson, who has worked for the city for 38 years. “What we experienced this year was something totally different that we had not experienced over 19 years at Pirates Cove, nor all the other years that I’ve operated the Englewood Rec Center.”

Morning learn to swim classes at the Englewood Recreation Center have been canceled due to staffing shortages.

“That was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made,” Anderson said.

Drowning still remains the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for those between the ages of 1 and 14, he said, but Englewood did not have enough instruc-

tors for the program.

Pirates Cove ideally has 125 lifeguards for the summer season, Anderson said. Currently, it has about 100, but many of them came late in the season.

“We recognized early on that we were not getting the applications, even though we were still advertising in the usual means that we were doing before,” he said. “We had to change some of the ways that we were advertising and recruiting staff.”

One strategy Englewood implemented was doing more social media outreach as well as a campaign on iHeartRadio, Anderson said.

Englewood also offered a recruiting bonus to staff. If a staff member recruited someone to join the team and that person worked for at least one month, the staff member would get $20 for each recruited person, up to about $250, he said.

The pay for staff was also increased, Anderson said.

“For most of the workers, we always paid right at minimum wage, and then lifeguards usually got about $1 an hour more,” Anderson said. The higher rate for lifeguards is partly due to the extra training lifeguards have to do.

This year, the minimum wage rate, which Anderson said was about $12.74, was increased to $13 an hour. New lifeguards can now earn $15 an hour and returning lifeguards earn $15.50.

Anderson said he noticed comments on Facebook that said the reason for the staffing shortage is due to not paying workers enough.

Lisa Roy started as executive director of Colorado’s Department of Early Childhood on May 16.

Challenges facing Lisa Roy, Colorado’s new early childhood chief

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT

As chief of Colorado’s new early childhood department, Lisa Roy will shape a new state agency with more than 300 employees and lead the biggest expansion of state-funded preschool in program history.

Roy, 58, recently returned to Colorado after spending more than two years in Omaha, Nebraska, as director of program development at the Buffett Early Childhood Institute.

She started as the early childhood department’s executive director on May 16 with an annual salary of $165,000.

During a recent interview in a temporary office a block from the gold-domed state Capitol, Roy talked about her own experience with the early childhood system — first as a parent and later as a policymaker.

“I have that experience as a parent of not being able to afford childcare,” she said. “My kids were Head Start kids.”

Roy, who has three adult children, said she initially applied for state child care subsidies, but her ex-husband made $5 over the limit so she didn’t qualify.

She later helped set child care subsidy rules as part of Denver’s welfare reform board, worked on a preschool tuition assistance program funded with a city sales tax, and led Denver Public Schools early education department from 2016 to 2019. She’s also held leadership positions in several philanthropic organizations.

“I have experienced almost every single facet of what our department will do,” said Roy, who has a doctorate in leadership for educational equity from the University of Colorado Denver.

The state’s early childhood department technically started March 1, but many of its operations start July 1. The department will oversee more than a dozen early childhood programs now housed in the state’s Department of Human Services and the Department of Education. It also will manage the new universal preschool program, an ambitious effort to provide tuition-free preschool to 4-year-olds statewide starting in the fall of 2023.

LIFEGUARDS FROM PAGE 20

“We’re above minimum wage, but also realize that the age of the kids — this isn’t a working wage. These aren’t people that are relying on the income that they’re working this summer on to support their family,” Anderson said.

The majority of the lifeguards are between the ages of 15 and 21, he said.

After delaying opening by a week and having to close the first two Mondays and Tuesdays in June due to a lack of lifeguard staff, Pirates Cove was able to get more lifeguards hired and trained for the summer season, Anderson said. However, despite the number of staff being closer to the normal amount, a new challenge presented itself: Many workers did not want to work 40 hours a week.

“What we quickly noticed is that they only wanted to work one or two days a week, and so then that was another burden,” Anderson said. “We made the hard decision that we will not be open on Mondays.”

The delays and more limited hours will impact revenue, but Anderson is not sure by how much.

Although Pirates Cove is losing money from the closures, there is also a cost savings on expenditures because of there being less staff, he said.

Pools Special Initiative leads to $12,500 In response to staffing shortages at public swimming pools across Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis’ office announced on June 21 a new grant program called Pools Special Initiative 2022.

This one-time grant program, a partnership between the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and the Office of Economic Development and International Trade’s Outdoor Recreation Industry Office, aims to incentivize and retain public swimming pool employees.

Local governments operating a public swimming pool that is experiencing issues were able to apply for up to $25,000. Englewood applied for $25,000 and was informed June 30 that it was awarded $12,500, Anderson said.

Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Center.

COURTESY OF CITY OF ENGLEWOOD

“We’re gonna use it for retention,” Anderson said about the grant money. For example, if a staff member stays for a certain amount of time and meets a certain level of requirements, they will be given a bonus.

It’s a method Englewood currently implements, offering a bonus of up to $250 if employees work a certain number of hours a week and stay through the end of the season, which is Labor Day weekend, Anderson said.

Anderson also wants to offer a bonus to employees who stay for the whole year, helping retain employees for a longer period of time.

“That’s going to kind of help combat what we noticed last year, when all of a sudden we seen a mass exodus of staff not completing the year,” Anderson said.

In 2021, Pirates Cove was fully staffed going into Memorial Day weekend, but during the latter half of July, employees began to leave.

“And then that never bounced back this year when we opened up and when we were recruiting for staff,” he said.

In addition to the Pools Special Initiative 2022, Polis’ office also announced two other efforts to combat staffing shortages at public

pools: 16- and 17-year-old lifeguards can work more overtime and new lifeguards can get $1,000 if they complete the required training and begin employment as a lifeguard.

Although the ability for 16- and 17-year-olds to work overtime is nice, Anderson said he doesn’t think the efforts will “help a whole bunch right now.”

The $1,000 signing bonus also raises an issue of equity, Anderson said. Even though the effort helps address the staffing issue, it leaves out employees that have been working since the beginning of the season.

“We’re halfway through the season and we’re gonna give someone a $1,000 bonus to come on and work for us, but then there’s that kid that applied back in March and we hired — what do they get?”

Anderson said.

Why is this year different?

When asked why he thinks there has been such a big staffing shortage this year, Anderson said that’s the million-dollar question.

“I think the pandemic had a lot to do with it,” he said.

In 2020, Pirates Cove wasn’t able to open until about mid-June, and it was restricted to 200 people in

the park at a time, a big change from the park’s average of 1,600 people a day, Anderson said.

Anderson said some challenges in recruiting and keeping staff for the full season include fewer high school job fairs for Englewood to attend, as well as schools starting earlier in August.

“Once school starts, we can’t be open during the week because we don’t have the staffing” Anderson said. “And so we’ve had to adjust that schedule to where we have to make that closing down in August earlier because schools are starting earlier.”

The staffing shortage is something Anderson has been discussing with colleagues across the U.S., he said.

“We’re all facing the same thing,” he said. “Being in this field for 38 years, this is the most difficult year that I’ve ever had. And basically, that all comes back down to staffing.”

Overall, Anderson said he apologizes to community members for the impact the staffing shortage has had on Pirates Cove and the Englewood Recreation Center.

“We are working on it. We have been working tirelessly and endlessly,” Anderson said. “Just bear with us.”
