PETERSEN

Eugene Loran Petersen 12/28/1934 - 2/14/2021

Gene was born on December 28, 1934 to Lawrence and Gladys Petersen in Viborg, SD. On February 14, 2021, Gene joined God in his heavenly kingdom. He passed away with his loving wife (Judy), daughters Kellie and Jodie, sons-in-law, Tim and Doug, grandson, Ian, and granddaughter, Loren by his side.

Gene was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. Gene grew up on the family farm outside Viborg, SD with 3 sisters, Glennys, Arlyce and Dianne, and his brother Robert. He went to Viborg High School and graduated in 1952. From there he entered the service with the U.S. Army.

After serving with the Army, Gene apprenticed as a brick mason. Through a good friend, he met and married Judith Klink in 1962. They settled outside of Brighton and raised two girls, Kellie and Jodie, in a home he and Judy designed and built together. Gene worked on many commercial and residential buildings throughout the Denver area.

Gene was an active member of the Brighton community as a lifelong member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Bricklayers Union, Sister Cities and a member of the First Presbyterian Church. He also volunteered his time helping to build a house with Habitat for Humanity.

In his free time Gene loved to go boating,

camping and fishing. Together, he and Judy drove to Alaska, camping and fishing along the way. Having an adventurous spirit, Gene always wanted to “get out of Dodge”. Together they traveled to many different countries enjoying the culture, food and people. Gene and Judy were ‘Snowbirds’ and enjoyed spending winter months in Arizona with Judy’s brother Terry and his wife Karen. They also spent time in the South Dakota Black Hills with his sisters: Arlyce (Rich) and Dianne (Ted). While in Arizona, they enjoyed visiting with friends and exploring the beautiful desert. At home Gene was a ‘master fi xer’, there was nothing he couldn’t repair. He always looked forward to visiting with his friends over coffee.

Gene is survived by his loving wife Judy, his daughters Kellie (Tim Courtney) and Jodie (Doug Zink) and grandchildren Ian and Loren Courtney. Gene also is survived by his sisters Glennys, Arlyce, and Dianne, and many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Gene’s life will be held at a later date.

The family requests contributions to be made in Gene’s honor to Brighton Elks Lodge #1586 or The First Presbyterian Church of Brighton.

27 opens stands to home-team fans only

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Eastern Adams County schools opened their stands to hometeam fans only, effective Feb. 15.

Opposing teams’ fans will be able to live stream their games.

27J Athletic Director Harry Waterman said the decision was based on the district’s focus to provide “our student-athletes the opportunity to participate in

extracurricular events.”

“We’re pleased to be able to begin allowing a limited number of spectators beginning this week,” Waterman said. “However, with our limited resources, we are only permitting two home team guests per athlete to attend at this time. We want to ensure that our event management team can safely conduct our contests as well as simplify our contact tracing should it become neces-

sary.”

Adams 12 and St. Vrain schools adopted similar procedures effective this week. Adams 14 is not allowing any fans into the gyms or swimming pools.

“We are not keeping fans away. We are following health guidelines and best practices all while ensuring our athletes and athletic staff are kept safe and given every available opportunity to represent their school

and participate in the activity of their choosing,” said 27J Schools spokesperson Tracy Rudnick.

“Our choice to slowly open up to limited home spectators aligns with a number of districts that have recently implemented similar policies,” Waternab said.

“Greeley, Fort Morgan and Roosevelt all started this way and have recently added guests as their COVID dial has improved a little quicker than ours.”

Commerce City School gets $10,000 donation Manufactured home maker offers grant to help 300 students at four properties

BY STAFF REPORT

A Michagan-based maker of manufactured homes has donated $10,000 to the Commerce City elementary school where 300 of its residents send their children.

RHP Properties announced Feb. 15 that it is adopting Commerce City’s Dupont Elementary School. The school serves approximately 300 children from Wikiup, Shady Lane, Commerce Heights and Pine Lakes Ranch, nearby RHP Properties manufactured home communities.

The donation was made through Adoptaclassroom.org, a group that provides teachers and school administrators with an online fundraising platform, plus a private ecommerce mar-

ketplace of nearly 30 school supply and school specialty vendors.

“Dupont is thrilled to be adopted by RHP Properties. With all of the changes in what school looks like this year, our teachers’ classroom needs -- both virtually and in-person -- have changed in ways we hadn’t thought of before,” Principal Brian Clark said in a written statement. “With this sponsorship, our teachers will be better able to meet those classroom needs. Thank you.”

“The coronavirus pandemic has increased the already critical need for school supplies and we are proud to provide assistance,” RHP Properties CEO Ross Partrich said in the statement. “We chose to adopt Dupont Elementary to help support the many students who attend there from our nearby manufactured home communities, as well as many students throughout the Commerce City area.”

Dupont Elementary Assistant Principal Kelly Hynes and Principal Brian Clark accept a $10,000 donation from Mindy Love, Community Manager of Wikiup, Commerce Heights and Shady Lane communities on behalf of RHP Properties. COURTESY PHOTO

United Powers new kiosks to better serve customers The kiosks are programmed to accept several forms of payments

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

United Power customers in Fort Lupton, Carbon Valley, Coal Creek, and Brighton can now pay utility bills at a kiosk location.

“The installation of payment kiosks demonstrates our commitment to providing the types of services our members want,” said Francis Ashu, Member Services Director.

“Through our many convenient account management and payment options, we can provide the same level of quality service without costs associated with operating a storefront location.”

Customers can use the United Power account number at a kiosk.

It can accept several forms of payments such as cash, credit card, and check to be applied to the account.

Accounts that are past due and or are going to be disconnected, upon payment the utilities will be re-

stored.

Also, a quick “Fast Pass” access can be set up at the kiosk. It creates quick access with a PIN and a barcode code. Then a barcode will be printed. A barcode, pin, or phone number can be used for quick access to pay the utility bill.

Due to the Pandemic, last year in March United Power closed all its lobbies in Brighton, Coal Creek,

and Carbon Valley. The Fort Lupton storefront closed in September of 2020, impacting customers having to use a phone and online self-services to pay utilities.

Also, United Power over the past few years experienced a steady increase of customers who preferred using the self-serve as digital account options to pay accounts.

It contributed to the reduction of customers visiting the storefronts, according to officials. United Power service representatives have been working remotely to assist customers. Once employees return to the office all staff members from the other locations will be transferred to the Brighton Headquarters.

Cardboard recycling Dumpsters

Commerce City has two Dumpsters to recycle cardboard items.

One is at the civic center, 7887 E. 60th Ave., and the other is at Bison Ridge Recreation Center, 13905 E. 112th Ave. Both are free to use. A city press statement said residents recycled more than 11 tons of cardboard since the first of the year.

New rec center regs/hours

Visitors to Commerce City’s recreation centers don’t need reservations for the weight room and cardio areas.

The reason is the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s decision to move Adams County into the Level Yellow (Concern) of Safer at Home.

The capacity of 35 people in this area remains, as does the need for reservations to use the pool and the basketball courts.

New hours are in place, too. The weekday hours are 5 to 10 a.m., 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 5 to 9:30 p.m. weekdays; 7 a.m. to noon and 1 to 7 p.m.

Saturdays; and from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Sundays.

Staff will conduct cleaning and disinfecting between each time block. Masks and social distancing are required in all facilities.

‘Spread the Love’

The city’s annual Spread the Love food drive continues through the end of February. Residents can donate peanut butter and jelly to local food banks.

“This year, the economic impacts of the pandemic have led to increased food insecurity and even greater demand for local food banks to assist our neighbors needing a helping hand. For the 14th straight year, Commerce City is asking residents to help meet that need,” a city statement read.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are high in protein and easy for kids to make without adult supervision, which is why the campaign focuses on peanut butter and jelly donations.

Drop-off points are the Bison Ridge Recreation Center, 13905 E. 112th Ave., the Eagle Pointe Recreation Center, 6060 E. Parkway Drive, and the Commerce City Civic Center, 7887 E. 60th Ave. The dropbox is in the north entrance vestibule and accessible on weekdays. The city distributes all donations to local food banks, including the Adams County Food Bank and the FISH of Commerce City Food Bank at Our Savior Lutheran Church.

With new vaccine schedule, 70 and older still prioritized Eligiblity started Feb. 8 for Coloradans 65 to 69, school workers

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More updates to Colorado’s coronavirus vaccine schedule have pushed some groups closer to the front of the line, but public health officials emphasize that Coloradans 70 and older who haven’t yet been vaccinated still have priority.

“With this additional group that’s being added, doesn’t that basically push anyone in the 70-or-older category further down the list by adding to the pool?” asked a caller from Douglas County during a live virtual town hall Feb. 4 that discussed vaccine distribution.

Meredith Brown, a school nurse liaison for Tri-County Health Department, responded that vaccine providers are still prioritizing people 70 and older — and said that’s the directive from the state.

“The state announces eligibility ahead of time to prevent lag time,” said Brown, whose health department serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. She added: “We wouldn’t want to get done with the 70-plus group and have any time” wasted in getting to others.

Colorado’s updated vaccine schedule, as of Feb. 4, notes: “As we move through phases, people in

previous phases remain eligible.”

Here’s a look at some questions and answers from Tri-County’s town hall and recent information from the state public-health department on who can get the vaccine and when.

More seniors, school workers up next

Coloradans ages 65 to 69 reached eligibility for the vaccine on Feb. 8, according to a governor’s office news release.

Colorado’s school workers for grades pre-K through 12 also reached eligibility Feb. 8 and should reach out to their employers to sign up for the vaccine, the news release said.

Seniors won’t get displaced in line by teachers, according to a frequently-asked-questions page from the state public-health department in late January.

“Pre-K-12 teachers and child-care workers are in Phase 1B.2 of the phased distribution plan, and they will get their vaccines through their employer and will not utilize the same vaccine sign up system as people 65 and older,” the page says.

About halfway to goal for 70-plus

Roughly 191,000 Coloradans 70 or older had received a first vaccine dose, according to a frequently asked questions page from the state public-health department in late January.

The state aims to vaccinate 70% of Coloradans ages 70 and older by Feb. 28. That totals about 394,000

people, according to the page.

“We’re about 47% of the way to our goal,” the page says.

High-risk conditions, frontline workers

Gov. Jared Polis also announced that close to March 5, “frontline” workers and Coloradans ages 16 to 64 with two or more conditions that put them at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19 will also likely be eligible, according to the release.

Frontline workers include those in food and agriculture, manufacturing, the U.S. Postal Service, public transit, grocery, public health, human service workers, faith leaders, direct care providers for Coloradans experiencing homelessness and journalists.

That list includes restaurant workers, according to Denver-area news reports.

High-risk conditions include cancer, diabetes, coronary heart disease and many others. See a full list in the vaccine schedule chart at covid19.colorado.gov/forcoloradans/vaccine/vaccine-forcoloradans.

A caller in the Tri-County town hall from Adams County asked if she needs documentation from her doctor regarding her multiple high-risk conditions.

“We don’t know exactly what the documentation will look like for folks with those chronic conditions,” Brown said. But it’s a good idea for Coloradans to talk with their doctors and gather any available documents now to be ready

when eligibility for the high-risk group comes, Brown added.

Focus on equity

A caller during the Tri-County town hall from Littleton said she’s heard that some demographics, such as Hispanic and Black Americans, have higher rates of hospitalization due to COVID-19, asking why they aren’t prioritized for vaccination.

Brown responded that Tri-County Health and state officials are focusing on “vaccine equity” despite the fact that certain races aren’t prioritized in the vaccine schedule.

“The state is working on multiple equity initiatives, including supporting community-based clinics in rural and low-income areas, supporting transportation initiatives to ensure access to vaccine clinics, (and) promoting vaccine education and engagement with communitybased organizations and businesses,” the state public-health department’s FAQ page says.

Multiple vaccine appointments?

The question of whether it’s OK to sign up for vaccine appointments from multiple sites to bolster hopes of securing one appointment also came up.

Brown replied that it isn’t a bad idea but said Coloradans who do so should notify health care providers if they no longer need a spot so that others aren’t unnecessarily blocked.

League classification moves forward Prairie View stays put for basketball

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Prairie View High School’s boys and girls basketball teams are going to play in the state’s newest classification starting in 2022.

The Colorado High School Activities Association’s classifica-

tion and league organizing committee moved PVHS to the upper tier (based partially on enrollment and recent track record) of schools.

The committee also turned down an appeal to return the ThunderHawks to class 5A. Athletic director Jason Hiumphrey pointed to declining enrollment (1,632 students in 2021), which he said was the result of the newest school in 27J, Riverdale Ridge High School.

“The main reason is the competitiveness of the program,” Humphrey told the virtual CLOC meeting Feb. 18. “We’ve had one winning season in the last four years. We’ve had one playoff win in the girls program. We’re moving into a new league (the Front Range League). Every school will be in the 6A classification.”

Data at the meeting showed the ThunderHawks’ girls team won 48 of its last 97 games. This year,

PVHS is 2-5. The boys team, which is 4-4 this season, won 42 of its last 94 games.

“It looks like the kids are competitive,” said CLOC chairman Randy Holman from the Cheyenne Wells School District. “The numbers say the competitiveness is there.”

“The last three years, it’s gone down,” Humphrey said. “We’re hoping to turn that around.”

League classification boosts Brighton to top tier CHSAA turns down three BHS appeals

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton High School’s basketball and football teams will be playing in the newly created 6A classification, starting in 2022.

The Colorado High School Activities Association assigns schools to classifications and leagues every two years. The basis is part student enrollment and part track

record in sports programs.

BHS athletic director LIndsey Solano filed three appeals to the move. Two were for the basketball programs.

“We’ve been middle of the road when we’ve competed in the Eastern Metro Athletic Conference,” Solano told a virtual committee meeting Feb. 19. BHS is leaving the EMAC for the Front Range League in 2022. “We’ll definitely grow to the competition level in class 6A. But because we have been middle of the road, a better place for us is in class 5A.”

The other was for the football program. The Bulldogs were 1-9 in both 2016 and 2017. Last year, BHS had a 5-1 record and barely missed a playoff berth in class 4A. Solano said the Bulldogs’ biggest lineman is 240 pounds.

“There is a huge safety factor in jumping two classifications from class 4A to 6A,” Solano told the committee. “Two hundred forty pounds as a sophomore is different from 240 pounds as a senior.

There’s the knowledge and mechanics behind how your body works.”

“What’s your philosophy of scheduling?” asked Erie athletic director and CLOC member Justin Carpenter.

“I want to grow,: Solano said. “I like to schedule competitive programs. It’s not about wins. I like to find programs to be competitive with.”

The vote to deny the basketball appeals was unanimous. The vote on the football appeal was 6-5.

CLOC chairman Randy Holmen of the Cheyenne Wells School District cast the deciding vote..

The Brighton facility will remain open.

“They are not closing the shop,” Giron said. “While they are shutting down blades manufacturing in Brighton, they are also consolidating other parts of their operation from six other places and bringing those to Brighton.”

Giron said he expects the Brighton facility will concentrate on maintaining windmills that are already installed.

Giron said that the company, the Economic Development Corporation, and Weld County Employment Services are working together to help those losing their jobs.

“It’s called a rapid response to make sure that everything is being done to help those impacted by the layoffs to find new employment,” Giron said.

Giron said the Weld County would be contacting the employees directly and help with job searches, re-training and resume tuning.

Feb. 20, and the result was the same. Adams City won the contest 47-27 in Aurora.

“Whenever there is a sizable layoff, the business must report it to the state,” Giron said. “What that does is set off a series of events. The county workforce development services will get involved with the business to get access to those employees and get them services.”

“We have set initiatives in motion to make sure as many as possible of the 450 colleagues from our factories can move to other parts of our operations, but unfortunately, we still have to say goodbye to colleagues,” company COO Nielsen said in the statement.
