County names board members, director for new health department Process in crunch as deadline is Jan. 1 BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With half a year left before the dissolution of the Tri-County Health Department, Arapahoe County has

announced its five-person board, and the sole finalist for executive director, to helm future health services. “What we’re doing is unprecedented,” said Shawn Davis, a Coloradobased health care consultant who will serve on the county’s new Foundational Board of Health. Following the breakdown of Tri-County, which for more than 50 years had been delivering health

services to Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, Arapahoe has been in a race against time to create its own health department by Jan. 1, a day after Tri-County’s services will end. “We don’t have the option of delaying it or asking for an extension,” Davis said. “We owe it to the county to be ready by Jan. 1.” As that deadline looms, the depart-

ment’s new board expressed optimism that it is on track to provide high-priority services to the county’s population of just under 650,000 by the beginning of next year. But challenges lie ahead, especially as the department looks to finalize a budget, secure funding and attract staff. SEE HEALTH, P6

Residents protest end of Roe v. Wade at city’s courthouse Group expresses support for abortion rights BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 20 Littleton community members protested outside the city’s courthouse June 24 following

the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that has protected the right to abortion nationwide for nearly 50 years. “It was a heartbreak, it was so disheartening,” said Littleton resident Bev Obenchain. The news of the Supreme Court’s decision came as a gut punch for Obenchain who, while driving near

The City of Littleton is moving ahead with plans to improve intersections, bike lanes and walkways around Mineral Avenue in a bid to reduce traffic speeds and make the area more pedestrian-friendly. The project, known as the Mineral Mobility Improvements, will be funded by a $2 million grant the city secured from the Colorado Department of Transportation. Officials from the city’s planning department, during a June 22 virtual meeting, presented their latest ideas to more than a dozen Littleton residents who joined the call. Plans were drafted using feedback from prior community outreach that included a survey and focus group, officials said.

Littleton family donates flags flown in Afghanistan According to the regular newsletter sent by the City of Littleton, a pair of flags that flew with American forces in Afghanistan will fly over the Danny Dietz Memorial in Littleton’s Berry Park thanks to a donation from a Littleton family. Jessyca Livingston and her sons Stone, 8, and Wyatt, 3, visited the Littleton Service Center on June 22 to donate the flags to Public Works staff, with the goal of flying them over the memo-

rial that honors the sacrifice of Navy Seal Danny Dietz and other American forces killed during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. The flags, which flew aboard aircraft on sorties in Afghanistan, were sent back to the United States by Livingston’s brother-in-law, who served in Afghanistan in 2017. Livingston said military service has touched her life in many ways as she has helped care for family members and friends whose loved ones were deployed.

Search warrant assistance On June 23, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team assisted the US Marshall’s Service on an arrest warrant in the 5300 block of S Liverpool Way. According to the social media post, two suspects were identified as having warrants and a history of aggravated robbery with a

firearm, unlawful possession of a weapon, and eluding. At about 3 p.m., the SWAT team surrounded the residence. Both suspects were seen in the backyard and were immediately confronted by SWAT team members. Both suspects were taken into custody without incident and transported to the county detention center.

Littleton participates in Bike to Work day On June 22, Littleton’s Bike Station participated in the annual Bike to Work Day event. The annual event encourages commuters in the Denver region to bike to work, helping them save money on their commutes, improve their health and lower stress levels — all while reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. In Littleton, commuters were able to grab treats at Mary Carter Greenway Trail Station Stop on the west side of the South Platte River. The station also handed out breakfast burritos from Little Anitas.

COVID cases remain high in Arapahoe County CDC metrics show strain on health systems BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coronavirus cases in Arapahoe County are beginning to trend down after an uptick over the past several weeks that moved the county into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s worst COVID category. For the week of June 19, the seven-day rolling average for cases was 1,415, according to data from the Tri-County Health Department, which provides health services to Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties. Come Dec. 31, Tri-County will disband after Douglas County commissioners voted to split from the agency last year over masking policies and an inability to optout from health orders. The three counties plan to stand up their own health departments. Arapahoe County’s case count is a noticeable decrease from the past four weeks, when seven-day rolling averages neared almost 2,000, approaching levels close to the county’s third-highest peak in November 2021. Case counts are still well below the record surge the county saw in January when the Omicron vari-

ant caused a peak seven-day rolling average of 8,621 cases for the week of Jan. 30., the most cases reported during the course of the pandemic. Still, current case counts are high enough — and hospital staffing low enough — to keep the county at a high community level for COVID based on CDC metrics, which rank counties as low, medium or high. According to the CDC, residents of counties with a high community level are encouraged to wear masks in public and to stay at home if feeling sick. But this won’t result in any mask

mandates for Arapahoe County, according to Dr. John Douglas, TriCounty Health’s executive director. “We do think that we are beginning to experience a downturn,” Douglas said. “Although there are a couple caveats.” The rise of at-home testing could mean that people who are sick are not always reporting cases to the state’s health department, said Douglas, who added that case counts may be about 50% less accurate now compared to late December and early January. “We know that reported tests … is probably an undercount,” Douglas said, adding that hospitals are also not testing as regularly compared to other points of the pandemic. The ambiguity around the prevalence of the virus comes as the percentage of available staffed ICU beds in north-central Colorado hospitals falls below 10% — a critical benchmark — as of June 21. Counties defined as north-central are Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson. “Fortunately, death rates have gone down dramatically as vaccinations have been going on,” Douglas said, though he added Arapahoe

County may see more hospitalizations following its rise in cases. Vaccinations remain a key line of defense against the virus, said Douglas. Everyone over the age of 5 is eligible to receive a booster shot once they have completed their primary vaccination, which includes receiving either one shot of the Johnson and Johnson (J&J) vaccine or two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine. Arapahoe County has a vaccination rate of 78.8%, which includes people aged 5 or older who have received at least one shot. “I keep hoping that some part of that unvaccinated group is going to decide (to get vaccinated),” Douglas said. “But I’m not holding my breath hoping we get a whole lot higher than 80%.” The CDC also recently cleared the way for Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for children who are 6 months to 5 years old after it received approval from the FDA. But the rollout has been slow and early national polling shows most parents are still hesitant to have their youngest children immediately vaccinated. A survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that fewer than one in five parents said they would have their child vaccinated as soon as they can. “I don’t think it’s going to be the tide-turner,” Douglas said of the vaccine’s impact on COVID trends. Along with vaccination, appropriate mask-wearing and treatment for those who are sick will be vital for mitigating COVID’s severity as Colorado, and much of the country, declare the virus “endemic.” And even as cases and deaths remain lower than past surges, the effects of long-COVID are beginning to reveal another aspect of the pandemic’s toll. Douglas said a recent CDC report found that between 20% and 25% of infected people will have symptoms for a month or longer. “More and more, people are understanding the fact that we’re going to be living with COVID for a long time,” Douglas said.

HEALTH FROM PAGE 1

“Make no mistake, with this kind of transition do we think it’s going to be a smooth transition and issues won’t come up? Absolutely not,” Davis said. The board consists of county commissioners Nancy Sharpe and Nancy Jackson as well as Davis, Bebe Kleinman — CEO of Doctors Care — and Dr. Heather N Signorelli — a pathologist and vice president and chief laboratory officer for HCA Healthcare. Jennifer Ludwig, Tri-County’s deputy director, was named sole finalist for Arapahoe County’s health department’s executive director. Funding fallout pushed Arapahoe out The foundation for Tri-County’s demise was laid during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic when Douglas County leaders clashed with health officials over mandatory mask mandates. In July 2020, Douglas County commissioners announced plans to split from Tri-County and form a new health department. In September 2021, commissioners voted unanimously to do just that. A month later, Adams County leaders followed suit, pledging to create their own health department. As the final county standing, Arapahoe made the decision in December 2021 to break from the health department and form its own. While it’s been providing health services to the three counties during that time, Tri-County’s operations will cease Dec. 31, leaving health decisions in each county’s hands. Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said the situation is “not something that Arapahoe County actually wanted,” but — because of the financial fallout of losing two counties — had to be made. Still, county leaders said they see the benefits of moving towards their own health department. While shared funding between the three counties helped ease financial burdens, it also meant more targeted spending was less common, Sharpe said. “I think this gives us an opportunity to look more specifically at the needs of Arapahoe County,” Sharpe said. Arapahoe County paid the most for Tri-County services of the three

counties last year. According to a consulting firm’s report, Arapahoe County paid $4.8 million. Adams paid $3.8 million while Douglas paid $2.6 million. Sharpe said the county’s own health department will likely cost around $5 million per year, possibly even more. “We anticipate that it will be more, we just don’t know how much more at this point,” Sharpe said. Most of the department’s budget will come from federal and state funds, according to Sharpe, while the rest will be covered by the county and private entities, such as foundations. Some one-off money may be used from the county’s slice of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, a federal COVID-19 stimulus package. The county received $127.5 million in federal funds from the law, with money so far targeted towards housing, homelessness and mental health among other priorities. A budget has yet to be finalized, though Sharpe said she expects one soon following Ludwig’s expected confirmation as the department’s executive director. Ludwig was reached for comment but only provided a brief statement in which she said she is “honored to be named the finalist for the position.” Tight timeline, staffing shortage presents obstacles The tight turnaround for Arapahoe County to set up its new department before Tri-County ends could cause a temporary gap in some services according to Tri-County’s executive director, Dr. John Douglas. “It’s a real possibility and it’s a real concern,” Douglas said. While the health department was thrust into the public spotlight for its role during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tri-County has been offering a slew of other services to county residents, including no-cost cancer screenings, overdose prevention, free nurse visits and restaurant and child care facility inspections. Those are services that Sharpe said county residents should expect to be offered through the county’s new department, but depending on staff and budget constraints, may not be at full capacity during the department’s early days. Douglas said internal polling has shown a vast majority of current Tri-County staff have shown interest in moving to one of the new county-run health departments

and expressed optimism that there would be a significant carryover. But Tri-County itself has become thinner as more and more health care workers leave the field following stress and burnout from the pandemic. “Every place saw the great resignation going on, and we weren’t immune to that,” Douglas said of Tri-County. “Last year, we probably were running 30% to 40% more staff choosing to leave than previous years.” Sharpe said it “would be unrealistic” for Arapahoe County to be immune to labor shortages, but was hopeful the department’s salaries and benefits would be enough to hire and retain adequate staff. Also hovering over the county is a lawsuit from the Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association — or PERA — which alleges it is owed $50 million by Tri-County and the three counties. The state organization, which provides retirement and other benefits to employees of government agencies and public entities in Colorado, said Tri-County’s collapse jeopardizes the retirement benefits it promised employees. The lawsuit is still pending and Douglas said he would not comment on it beyond saying, “I do understand PERAs concern.” “We hope it’s going to get resolved and we do think a well-funded state employee pension program is important,” Douglas said. A new way of looking at public health Despite the uncertainty ahead, Davis, the health care consultant and Arapahoe health board member, said he sees it as a new opportunity to address long-neglected inequities in public health. “The county as a whole really needs to be cognizant of the different needs of the population,” Davis said. Arapahoe County is diverse — about 40% of its population is people of color — and its demographics have faced compounding issues that traditional public health approaches have proved ill-equipped to serve, said Davis. Davis, who has worked with several nonprofit health care groups for more than a decade in Colorado, said health departments need to look beyond their own staff and partner with other entities, like housing and human services, to meet the needs of all county citizens.

“You have housing, you have food security, you have social isolation,” Davis said, adding that most people’s health outcomes are influenced by their living environment, quality of life and access to care. Addressing mental health needs must also be a bigger priority, Davis said. “A lot of that we have to partner with therapists and community mental health centers, so some of that is slightly outside the public health system,” Davis said. “But all of those areas we’re planning on providing in Arapahoe County.” For Davis, the COVID-19 pandemic showed the shortcomings of public health messaging and the need to meet people where they are. “We in public health really didn’t do a good job of presenting the message in a way that the constituency understood,” Davis said. “The worst thing we want to do is create an environment where people think we’re doing things to them instead of in conjunction with them.” As a Black man, Davis knows the hesitancy and mistrust in Black communities around healthcare that has been cemented through decades of racist medical mistreatment, which has contributed to the racial gap in COVID vaccinations, Davis said. And as public health becomes more politically charged following the pandemic, Davis said it will be imperative for Arapahoe County’s new health department to hear all sides of a community. “I don’t think you’re going to keep politics out of health … I think we live in a totally different world now,” Davis said. Still, COVID-19 remains a “moving target,” Davis said. While he understands the fatigue many may feel, it will be the job of the health department to work with and communicate to communities about where the pandemic is headed, he said. But by reaching people where they are, be it at church or school, Davis said he is confident Arapahoe’s new health department can repair trust. “When communities are at the table I think the outcome is very different,” Davis said. The county will be hosting a telephone town hall July 7 at 6:30 p.m. to answer questions about the new health board and department.

MINERAL

The various proposals of the City of Littleton’s $2 million Mineral Mobility Improvements project.

FROM PAGE 1

While city staff acknowledged that $2 million would be far from enough to carry out all the proposals that have been put forward for the area, they hoped to use the community dialogue to “provide momentum” for future projects that could be funded through other means, such as sales tax spending, according to Transportation Planner Shane Roberts. During the meeting, staff focused on proposals in seven areas just east of the Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue intersection, one of the busiest in the city. Those are: • The Mineral Avenue roadway • The Mineral Avenue sidewalk • Jackass Hill Road • The Jackass Hill and Jamison Way/Curtice Court intersection • The Mineral Avenue and Jackass Hill Road/Long Avenue intersection • The High Line Canal Trail Extension Crossing of Jackass Hill Road • The High Line Canal trail crossing at Mineral Avenue. Possible improvements in various areas include creating protected bike paths and intersections with physical barriers, widened sidewalks to accommodate for pedestrians and bicyclists, push buttons to signal safe pedestrian crossings and small roundabouts to reduce vehicle speeds. When asked for feedback, most residents watching online said they were in favor of the various proposals. Some questioned the need for physical barriers for bike lanes and

the use of roundabouts, citing a lack of car-related accidents in the area. Aaron Heumann, the city’s traffic engineering manager, said the aim of the project is to be preventative when it comes to safety as well as to make the area more accessible. “While we haven’t had a history of crashes, which is great, we certainly don’t want to start having one now,” Heumann said. “We’re trying to achieve bike lanes in the city that aren’t just for the serious riders ... we want bike lanes that can be attainable for all types of riders.” The area is still prone to accidents, according to Hannah Polow, senior transportation planner for David Evans, a consulting firm hired by the city for the project. “We do have a concern, especially at the Mineral and Jackass intersection … of vehicle and bicyclist accidents,” Polow said. Along with the updates along and

around Mineral, city staff are eyeing a major overhaul of the Santa Fe and Mineral intersection, a project that could cost about $1.9 million and that would be funded through sales tax revenue and possible grants. And updates to areas near High Line Canal could continue beyond the Mineral project with the city working alongside Arapahoe

Pirates Cove cuts summer swim hours Staffing shortages addressed in state grant program

But across the state we need to fix the shortage of lifeguards and pool workers to open closed pools and expand operating hours as we head into July 4th weekend and the heat of summer,” Polis said.

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Pools Special Initiative 2022 To stop staffing shortages and pool limitations and closures, one of the efforts Polis announced on June 21 is a new grant program: Pools Special Initiative 2022. According to the news release, this is a one-time grant program that aims to incentivize and retain public swimming pool employees. The program is a partnership between the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and the Office of Economic Development and International Trade’s Outdoor Recreation Industry Office. The grant has $350,000 in available funding, and eligible recipients of the grant include local governments operating a public swimming pool that is experiencing issues with recruiting and retaining staff this summer. The maximum amount a grant applicant can receive is $25,000. According to the news release, “local governments are encouraged to utilize federal stimulus funds to match this grant opportunity.” Funds can be used for expenses related to recruiting, attracting and retaining public swimming pool employees, such as offering pay increases or signing bonuses.

Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Center in Englewood, announced June 23 that it will be closed every Monday for the rest of the 2022 season due to staffing shortages. Swimming lessons at the Englewood Recreation Center have also been canceled because of staffing shortages, the City of Englewood announced on its website. Englewood is not alone. According to the Colorado Sun, there have also been reports of lifeguard shortages and pool opening delays in Longmont, Fort Collins, Brighton, Wheat Ridge, Boulder and Aurora. Amid reports of staffing shortages at swimming pools throughout Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis announced new efforts to help fix the problem, including a new grant program to help offer higher pay, a waiver allowing 16- and 17-year-old lifeguards to work more overtime and a grant that will offer $1,000 to those who successfully complete training and begin employment as a lifeguard, according to a June 21 news release from Polis’ office. “Spending time at a local public pool is a fun and healthy way to enjoy our beautiful Colorado summers.

PROTEST FROM PAGE 1

their thinking,” Obenchain said. Littleton resident Margie Rodriguez, who said she’s been an avid advocate for human rights for years, said she fears that her own daughters and granddaughters may not have the same rights and options that she did as a young woman. “In my generation, we’ve had that ability if we needed it, to have an abortion,” Rodriguez said, adding that she sees the ruling as an attack on people’s freedoms and ability to make their own choices. “I want a free and open society,” she said. “It’s frightening ... we don’t want to go back, we don’t want to go back.” Obenchain said the group talked about advocacy and ways they could respond to the court’s ruling, which could threaten abortion access for tens of millions of people throughout the country. Obenchain, who works for the nonprofit Vote Foward, urged fellow protesters to engage with elections, especially the upcoming 2022 midterms, which will decide control of Congress. As someone who has dealt with her own tragedies recently, Obenchain said the conversations “made me feel like there was hope.” “It just gave me a lot of hope, maybe, if we all get energized, we won’t lose our democracy,” Obenchain said. The shockwaves of the court’s decision have already begun throughout the country, with nine states that have implemented abortion bans and at

least 13 more expected to follow. “Twenty-six million patients are going to live in a state that does not have abortion,” said Vicki Cowart, chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, in a previous interview with Colorado Community Media. Clinics that provide abortion care across Colorado have already reported massive increases in people coming for abortion from other states. Colorado lawmakers recently signed abortion access into state law. Gov. Jared Polis, in a June 24 statement, said Colorado “will continue to choose freedom, stand against government control over our bodies, and will not retreat to an archaic era where the powerful few controlled the freedoms over our bodies and health decisions.” Along with sounding the alarm over the loss of federal abortion protections, advocates and lawmakers have pointed to what the new precedent could mean for rulings protecting access to contraception and gay rights. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, one of five justices who voted to strike down Row v. Wade, wrote June 24 in a concurring opinion that the court should “correct the error” of precedents that protect contraception use, same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage. Obenchain and Rodriguez said the court’s direction has only galvanized their resolve. “You can’t give up, you have to find ways to communicate with people ... and get human rights back in our country,” Obenchain said. “I will protest it until the day I die,” Rodriguez said.

Applications were being accepted until June 28, and awards will be made July 1. The grant program is expected to end Sept. 30, 2022. Incentives for lifeguards In addition to funding being offered to local governments, there are also opportunities for incoming lifeguards to earn $1,000, the news release stated. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment announced that, in collaboration with local workforce centers, it will provide workforce training and support recruitment efforts through the Reskilling, Upskilling and Nextskilling grant. Through the grant program, individuals will be paid up to $1,000 if they complete the required training to become a certified lifeguard and begin employment as a lifeguard.

“We’re excited to be a part of this multi-agency effort to get more public pools open for longer hours,” said Joe Barela, the executive director of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. “The Reskilling, Upskilling, and Next-skilling Workers (RUN) grant sweetens the deal by allowing teens to earn money while they complete the necessary training and secure the certifications needed to be a lifeguard at our pools. Interested teens and their parents should visit their local workforce center or cdle. colorado.gov/jobs-training to get support signing up.” To help increase available staffing capacity, the department also announced that it is issuing an emergency waiver effective immediately through Sept. 5, 2022, that will allow 16- and 17-year-old lifeguards to work more overtime if they want to. Under this waiver, these lifeguards can work no more than 10 hours per day and 54 hours per week. “Coloradans should be able safely enjoy time with friends and family during the hot summer months, and we’re going to get more pools open and expand hours,” Polis said.

Council approves site plan for 80-acre regional park Project a collaboration with South Suburban BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lone Tree City Council approved the final site plan of the 80-acre Lone Tree Regional Park, located east of I-25 and south of RidgeGate Parkway, during the June 20 regular meeting. “We’re really creating a really unique identifier for the community,” said Austin Good, Lone Tree’s assistant city manager. The park will be Lone Tree’s first regional park, and it will be located southeast of the RidgeGate Parkway and Peoria Street intersection. It is a collaborative effort by the City of Lone Tree and South Suburban Parks and Recreation. The board of directors for South Suburban Parks and Recreation previously approved the final site plan on June 8. The main concept for the plan, developed by landscape architect The Architerra Group, is called “The Braid.” The plan includes a variety of amenities such as a dog park, festival terrace, multi-level playground and walking paths that feature a variety of spaces, called activity rooms, that can accommodate different uses such as community gardens and community art walks. The 80-acre park is part of the large RidgeGate East development

on the east side of I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway, which involves also building a 400-acre Lone Tree City Center, commercial districts, schools and three residential villages. “It’s 80 acres — pretty substantial, [and] going to be a really big investment for the city, South Suburban and the whole community,” Good said. “And so, we’re likely going to have to break it into multiple phases, and this next phase of design development is where we’re going to be able to dive in to figure out what the priorities are for the front end, what might be able to wait for a phase two, and then, of course, identifying project funding partners,” he continued. During a study session on June 7, Good said phase one of the project is estimated to cost about $25 million. During the session, Mayor Jackie Millet said she is hopeful Douglas County will consider investing in the park, as it will be a regional amenity. South Suburban Parks and Recreation has budgeted $300,000 this calendar year for design development, Good said. The city is working within its internal departments to prioritize next steps, such as looking at traffic flow and parking lot sizes, as well as coordinating more with the infrastructure development, he said. Millet told Good it is important that pathways for pedestrians and bikers be considered in the mak-

ing of the park, saying she wants to make sure residents in nearby neighborhoods can walk into the park, that the park is connected to the existing trail system and there is a direct path for pedestrians and bikers from the west to east side. “The importance of connections cannot be overstated, and making sure we have those before everything gets built up around it, I think, is essential,” she said. “Let’s preserve those connections now while we can.” According to the resolution for the regional park site plan, the project is years away, but it’s been valuable to do planning work now so the park can integrate with the development of Lyric, a new neighborhood development by Shea Homes that is part of RidgeGate East, as well as the drainage project happening along Happy Canyon Creek. To help keep the community updated on the park’s progress, the city has created a webpage, CityofLoneTree.com/RegionalPark. Good said the webpage can help residents understand the planning and development process, the design elements of the park and the project’s next steps. “We’re also thinking this [webpage] is going to be a really great spot for when folks are looking to actually buy homes in the neighborhood that’s next to the park. We want to make sure that they know what they’re moving in next to,” Good said, adding there will be some

lit fields in the park that not everyone may want in their backyard. “And so it’s really, really important for us to make sure that we’re communicating that upfront.” Currently, South Suburban Parks and Recreation is doing a public outreach campaign for its overall master plan, and the regional park is included in that. When talking about the city’s public outreach process, Good said, “We’re probably gonna kick into even more overdrive to make sure that we’re doing a good job being stewards of putting this plan into action and making sure that it’s something that the community wants.” Those interested in learning more about the project or who want to leave a question or comment about the project can visit the project’s webpage: cityoflonetree. com/regionalpark.

State high court upholds expanded paid-leave program

The Colorado Supreme Court is located in Denver’s downtown near the state capitol. SHUTTERSTOCK

Voters approved measure setting work policy in 2020 BY TONY GORMAN COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

The Colorado Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 118 which requires most employers give workers 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave starting in 2024. The ballot initiative was approved by voters in 2020 passing by nearly 60 percent. Chronos Builders LLC challenged Proposition 118, titled the Colorado Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMI) Act.. The Grand Junction-based home builder claimed the Act violated the Section (8)(a) of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) which requires a flat tax rate for incomes. It also claimed the premiums are an unconstitutional added tax charge. In an email to CPR, Advance Colorado, the conservative advocacy group that petitioned for Chronos Builders said it’s reviewing the decision. Justice Monica M. Marquez wrote in her opinion that FAMI does not violate TABOR because it is not an income tax law or change in any such law. The premiums collected are fees held in the Family and Medical Leave Insurance Fund. State Sen. Faith Winter (D-Westminster) wasn’t surprised by the ruling. “Proposition 118 is extremely important to insure that no Coloradans

have to make a decision between taking care of themselves and a loved one and a paycheck,” Winter said. “Right now, only 80 percent of Coloradans have access to paid family leave. Once we implement [Proposition] 118, all Coloradans will have access to paid family and medical leave.” Proposition 118 received 58 percent of the vote statewide in 2020. It created FAMI to provide what Justice Marquez called a “necessary safety net” for all Colorado workers to tend to personal and family caregiving needs. The program includes: • Birth, adoption, foster care placement • Caring for a family member with a serious health condition. • Serious health condition • Qualifying exigency leave • Victim of domestic violence The proposition also requires employers to give workers one hour of sick leave for every thirty hours of work. Employers with nine or fewer employees must only pay half of the premium and can deduct up to that amount from that employee’s wages. Employers with ten or more are responsible for the full premium and can deduct half from the employee’s wages. The Division of Family and Medical Leave Insurance was created under FAMI to administer the program. This story is from Colorado Public Radio, a nonprofit news source. Used by permission.

Wind Crest Pride honors memories, celebrates love 3rd annual parade is a success BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Highlands Ranch resident Jim Genasci started going to Pride events with his wife Jean in 1983, when their son Gary came out. For years, the Genascis traveled across all 50 states and Canada attending Pride parades and rallies. At all of them, Jean collected dozens of buttons. She wore her collection on a sash, and then, when the sash got full, on a cowboy hat. When Jean died about two years ago, Jim asked their longtime friend SJ Light to carry on the tradition of wearing the button-covered sash and cowboy hat to celebrate Pride. On June 23, Jim celebrated his 39th straight year of Pride with Light and over 100 more friends, families and neighbors at Wind Crest’s 3rd annual parade. “I haven’t missed one yet,” Jim said. Light sported the sash and cowboy hat for the parade through the Wind Crest neighborhood and during the afternoon rootbeer float social in honor of her friend. “I feel that I’m representing Jean in the parade so that even though she’s passed on, she still gets to be in a Pride parade every year, which I know would mean a lot to her,” Light said. “I plan to keep doing it as long as I can.” Wind Crest’s Pride parade was started by residents and staff on the Diversity Inclusion and Belonging Committees and the Resident Advisory Council. In its third year, the event is popular at Wind Crest, drawing multiple generations to celebrate love and acceptance. Wind Crest Associate Executive Director Kathy Dilger said part of the living facility’s mission is to promote acceptance and applaud diversity. “Having a seat at the table, having a voice and having that voice be heard is what we strive for as a community,” Dilger said. “We’re not perfect in that, but we really try to hear people and accept them.” As the event wrapped up, residents and staff chatted about plans for next year’s parade. Light notes they’ll have to do something special for Jim’s 40th anniversary of Pride.

s a child, I grew to hate road trips. My parents did not like flying anywhere, which meant any family trip was by car. I hated it. I’m talking about trips that would make the original “National Lampoon’s Family Vacation” look functional. Three older brothers, parents and long trips to go visit our version of Cousin Eddie. That led to me hating the thought of FROM THE road trips as an adult. If I can fly, I will be willing to go. Someone says drive — EDITOR and I’m out. Then, we get to this summer. With the economy being what it is and being short of time because, let’s face it, parenting seems to revolve around running a kids’ taxi service, I have had to reconsider my hatred of long car rides. Most summers we will visit an aunt in Orlando and brother in PennsylvaThelma Grimes nia and my daughter’s biological sister in Oregon. This year, flight costs being what they are, that’s just not feasible. That led to me looking at what else we could do. My parents said they liked the idea of taking a trip with my children and me to South Dakota. After looking at calendars and trying to figure it out, we went on a spur-of-the-moment-type trip to the Black Hills. Getting up early to pack in a family of eight — my children, my parents and a nephew and niece. At 5:30 a.m. with everyone inside the Expedition, I fixed the rearview mirror, seeing all the faces staring up front. The memories of childhood car trips came flooding back. I dreaded putting that car in reverse and starting the trek. Fast forward six hours of actual quiet driving and we made it to the city where the famous Mount Rushmore sits. The trip was fantastic. My kids love farms. We went to the little farm in nearby Keystone three times, letting my kids hold baby goats, feed orphaned calves and run from the older goats wanting food. We saw the mountain. I will tell you my 5-year-old was not overly impressed. The farm was his thing. We saw all the sights and had a blast. Driving home, again in a quiet car, I realized a few things. Today’s kids have tablets and phones and keep their heads down most of the trip. Separating the kids who fight the most was also good planning on my part. The family time I got with my mom, dad, kids and brother’s children was worth every minute. In our busy lives, we tend to forget the value of taking some time to relax at something as simple as what I would call a very large petting zoo. We forget the value of walking with your kids down a tourist town’s main street to look at a variety of items, joke, eat ice cream and have quality time together without talking about schedules, chores and all that day-today home stuff. Will I go on another road trip? I won’t say I loved the gas and food prices on the trip (although still lower than plane tickets). However, I will say six hours in a car with family is no longer going to be a phobia. I can see me doing it again, and instead of dread as I hit reverse, there will likely be a lot more optimism.

We are not finished yet

he five most sought-after words in amateur golf are, “That’s good, pick it up.” We say that to our playing partner when the putt that is left is considered short enough to call it “good.” Sometimes the length of the putt left to make comes into question, especially when someone is not playing so well that day and their friends show a little mercy on them. Luckily, I have been the one receiving that mercy lately. There are times when the player actually needing to make the putt decides that they have had enough already and do one of two things: They either pick it up themselves or they take a casual approach and putt it toward the hole, indicating that he or she felt that it was good and the last attempt at the putt was close enough for the gimme. There may be gimmes in amateur golf or even in the PGA during match play, but when it comes to life, most times we aren’t finished yet. We still have work to do, projects to finish, contributions to make, our family and friends to love. No, we are still a long way from being finished yet. No matter where we started, the detours we have taken, the long roads we have journeyed, and even the many mistakes we have made, there is still time to get it right and finish what was once started by us, in us, or for us. There’s a great song by Brandon Heath called “Wait and See.” And in this song, he sings the lyrics, “He’s not finished with me yet,” as he refers to God’s plan and purpose for his life. And if we listen to the song or even just find the lyrics, I encourage us to reflect on what those lyrics could mean in our own life. I remember speaking with my great aunt

over the past few years as she was approaching 90, and she would say that she wished somedays that the Lord would just take her. And I would remind her that, “He’s not finished with you yet.” My great aunt was living in an assisted living facility, and really didn’t have a lot of mobility left in her tired legs. As residents came and Michael Norton went, she became saddened by their departure. It was during one of those calls where she just wanted to go to heaven and be with my great uncle. So, I said it to her again, “He’s not finished with you yet.” During our call the following week, my great aunt’s tonality was one of optimism and happiness. A new resident had moved in, and she didn’t have any family left to visit her. My great aunt befriended her and even though struggled with her own mobility, she made it a point to spend time and listen to her new friend’s life story and journey. They went to the dining hall together, and each time I would call her, she would tell me more about her new friend and the life she led. My great aunt and uncle lived with awesome faith and purpose. He served our country for 20 years in the Air Force and had been stationed around the world at different times. Most times she moved with him and supported him. She felt serving God and her husband was her greatest purpose. And now, nearing 90, she found a new purpose.

SBA helps with disaster recovery

C

olorado is no stranger to disasters, both natural and man-made. The state has a long history of natural disasters including flooding, wildfires, tornadoes and drought. The recent Marshall Fire in Boulder County is an example of this problem. It is more important now for residents and small businesses to remember that the best course of action to limit damage from natural disasters is preparing before the disaster hits. The Biden administration and SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman have been at the forefront of ensuring that small businesses and nonprofits, as well as individual homeowners and renters, impacted by natural disasters around the nation have the support and recovery relief that they need, and the tools to build resilience. Natural disasters are not just more devastating; they are also coming faster, more frequently, and are often rapidly changing in their complexity and scope. In 2020, the United States suf-

fered 22 separate billion-dollar disasters — the most in our history — but experts in the space expect that number to continue to climb. As the anchors of our communities, small businesses rely on resilient Aikta Marcoulier neighborhoods for their customers and their employees, and the SBA’s disaster relief loan programs help communities recover swiftly. • SBA’s disaster loan program is the only federal assistance program that provides private property owners an affordable way to mitigate disaster impacts and protect their homes, families, businesses, employees, and livelihoods against the next disaster. • SBA disaster loan funds can be used to cover insurance deductibles, refinance an existing mortgage, pay for mitigation and protective upgrades, relocate to a safer and lower-risk area, and

more.

In Colorado, we have multiple resource partners statewide including Small

Business Development Centers, SCORE, a Veteran Business Outreach Center, and a Women’s Business Center to assist you with your disaster planning. The best way to mitigate the effects of a disaster is to create a disaster continuity plan. This plan should discuss how you will contact family, friends, employees and first responders following a disaster. You should also review your insurance coverage to make sure it is current and covers all necessary costs. Most importantly, practice and evaluate your plan with family members, managers, and staff to make sure it works. For more information on SBA’s disaster programs please visit www.sba.gov/disaster, and remember to follow us on Twitter @ SBArockymtn.

OBITUARIES YURCAK

Theodore Frank Yurcak June 24, 1930 - June 16, 2022

Theodore Frank Yurcak lived a long, happy life and died peacefully in his sleep at home on June 16, 2022, with his loving wife of 65 years by his side. He had been surrounded by family and friends over the two weeks of in-home hospice care prior to his passing. Theodore Frank Yurcak was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 24, 1930. He and his twin sister Betty were the youngest of 12 children growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. Ted met the love of his life, Lois Jean Tessmer, through mutual friends, Glenn and Marge Cowgill, at their wedding where they were best man and maid of honor for the couple. Employed by Service Bureau Corporation from 1949 – 1990 Ted was recognized for his strong work ethic winning numerous awards and travel opportunities that often-included golfing. In 1973 he was transferred to the Denver office and moved the family to Littleton, Colorado where they raised their three children Deborah Marie (Yurcak) Mills, James Andrew Yurcak and John Herbert Yurcak. An avid golfer and

train enthusiast, Ted and Lois traveled countless miles together riding scenic railways throughout Colorado over the years. Ted was also a diehard Cleveland Browns fan and longed to see them win the Super Bowl. Ted and Lois spent many days in their retirement enjoying the scenery at nearby Chatfield Dam where they would picnic, watch the nesting bald eagles and take note of the fishing and boating activities on the lake. Theodore is survived by his wife, Lois Jean Yurcak and their three children Deborah Mills, husband Randy Mills of Castle Rock and their children Hannah (Mills) Morman and husband Casey Morman and Madelaine (Mills) Gaskey; their middle son James Yurcak, wife Amy Yurcak of Eagle, Colorado and their children Mason and Cassandra Jean Yurcak; and youngest son, John Yurcak, who also lives in Littleton.

Dark tales from sunny Denver ‘Denver Noir’ is collection of 14 stories by local authors BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Denver Noir,” edited by local author Cynthia Swanson, strikes me as a spot-on-perfect candidate to carry out to the back yard comfy chair, along with a cold lemonade — or to tuck in a suitcase if you’re traveling this summer. Recently published by Akashic Books, which has made a specialty of regional noir tales, it contains 14 new stories by Denver authors, many of whom we’ve met and enjoyed before. Style, types of characters, locations around our city and flavor in general may vary, but each tale is a separate unit, designed to distract the reader for a short spell ... or one can consume several in a row and feel like one has been on a little expedition. Different characters, different site, different mood. Swanson mentions the uniqueness of Denver’s Colfax Avenue, which stretches 26 miles from Aurora to Golden and appears in several stories, starting with David Heska Wanbli Weiden’s “Colfax and Havana.” SEE NOIR, P21

NOIR FROM PAGE 20

I’m still feeling spooked by Swanson’s “Pieces of Everyone, Everywhere.” The land in Cheesman Park was originally City Cemetery and when Mayor Robert Speer decided to turn it into a park for a premium surrounding housing area, most bodies were moved to Riverside Cemetery, in new, smallish caskets made for the occasion. People answered an ad that promised 25 cents for each body you dug up ... Swanson describes the scene as she imagines it. Graphic novelist and teacher R. Alan Brooks contributed “A Baker’s Duckling” while Denver

novelist Peter Heller, who lives by Sloan’s Lake, contributed the rather creepy “The Lake.” Mark Stevens’ “Junk Feed” has more the sound and feel of a contemporary cop story on TV. Chop! Chop! Mario Acevedo’s “El Armero” starts around the Mousetrap and Elyria-Swansea and walks us north, meeting several disturbed veterans and other characters — not a happy scene at all, but one can indeed picture his scenes through the details--in dismantling a gun, for instance--or repairing one... This collection offers a nice variety of style, word choice, conversations, city scenes and of course, story outcomes. And a reader may very well be inclined to look for books by one or more of these local writers.

SPORTS Summer baseball gets clubby

Many players spend season with teams not connected to their high schools BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Summer baseball in Colorado for players of high school age is still the same but in some ways very different. That might sound contradictory, but it is not. Development is still the main reason why young athletes spend their summers playing baseball. However, many players are not playing with their high school teammates, but rather joining club teams or organizations that on many occasions travel to out-of-state tournaments. “Everybody played for their high schools back in the day but nobody hardly does now,” said Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson. “We’re one of the few high school teams around the state in the summer. Most kids play at the club level. “The teams are better now. They are better than the high school teams because they get the better kids out

Slammers shortstop Thomas Stewart, a player at Mullen High School, puts a tag on Cherry Creek’s Eddie Esquivel (40) during a U17 game on June 21. Esquivel was safe with a stolen base and Cherry Creek rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning to pull out PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON a 17-16 victory.

of each high school.” Most summer baseball divides the players into age groups from U9 to U18. The Slammers team has two locations. The south facility is in Arapahoe County and the north is in Broomfield. Development and instruction remains the main reason for playing summer baseball. “Our facilities are for 8-year-olds to

14,” said Jeff Jenkins, the Slammers GM.“We’re just a training facility. We also coach and train high school teams. “Winning is a byproduct of development. But what changed the landscape is not facilities, travel and all that, it was the parents and the kids. “Parents think their kids can play in the MLB when they are five years old. Crazy stuff. Dad coaches don’t understand how difficult it is to get

into college or the major leagues. Our philosophy here is just we want to make better ball players that can be varsity contributors at the high school.” Summer baseball can be expensive, especially for teams that travel. Time magazine wrote an article a few years ago that said youth sports was a $15.3 billion industry with all the coaching, travel and apps included. It could cost around $3,000 a season to play summer baseball depending on the organization and team. “It’s expensive and they travel a lot too,” added Johnson. “In the old days, it took everything you could do to get guys to play.” Jenkins added, “We preach academics, good citizenship and we also preach getting better at what you are paying money for, which is baseball.” The Slammers are one of several baseball clubs in the south metro area. Some of the others are Gameday Baseball in Parker, USA Prime Baseball in Littleton, Lighting Baseball in Parker and Line Drive Baseball in Castle Rock. “It is what it is,” said Johnson. “It’s changed a lot. It’s more club baseball than it is school baseball. The only thing the schools have any advantage now is we have the fields.”

Lucy has been in a boarding kennel for 6-weeks after she lost her foster home! Help EAPL get her out and into a forever home (bestest for her) or a foster home for loves and snuggles until she can find her forever home! SPREAD THE WORD! HELP LUCY, PLEASE! Meet Miss Lucy! She is about 2yo birth date is estimated in June 2020, she needs to be active & have chew toys, walks, play fetch, etc. She is smart! She learns quickly. We are guessing she is a maybe Plott Hound with a sprinkling of Lab and a splash of Sharpei mix. She is 62lbs. She does well with children of all ages. She likes to sleep in bed with her humans. She likes to be with her humans (baby to adult size). She does well with male dogs. She gets so excited when you say the word "kids" it means the grandkids are coming over and she will run to the window to "LOOK" lol. She is doing amazing in boarding playgroups with dogs of both sexes and all sizes up to 25 dogs at a time! No kitties for this girl – she can have a prey drive. Email us at eaplevergreen@eapl.com
