Longtime commissioner leaves a big legacy Jim Sullivan, who died at 92, helped build the foundation for today’s Douglas County

VOICES FROM COUNTY, STATE LEADERS

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Not everyone in Douglas County had a chance to meet longtime county commissioner Jim Sullivan, but if they have enjoyed the open space program, attended an event at the fairgrounds or driven on E-470, they’ve felt the impacts of his work.

The commissioner, who also served two terms as a state representative, died in his Perry Park home April 14 at the age of 92.

Sullivan, who was born in Iowa in 1927, was an Army veteran, a family man and a public servant. He moved to Douglas County from New York in 1972, just a few years after his son and namesake, Jim Sullivan Jr., began college at the University of Denver, his son said.

Sullivan, who was serving in the Korean War when his son was born, lived in many states in his life, including Texas, California, Nebraska and Minnesota. He met his wife Donna while attending college at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

The younger Sullivan grew accostomed to hearing stories from strangers who were affected by his

SERVICE PLANS A service for Jim Sullivan has been postponed due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

The service, expected to take place at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, will occur once limitations on large gatherings have been lifted. he found himself talking to his father’s banker. After hearing the news, she burst into tears.

“She said ‘your dad affected me so deeply. He would always ask about my kids, he remembered their names,’” Sullivan Jr. said.

While Sullivan’s exact cause of death was not disclosed, he faced health challenges in the years preceding his death, according to his son, who added that the death was not related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the 15 years that Sullivan, better known to some as Sully, served as a county commissioner — from 1989 to 2004 — he championed many projects still alive today.

“He was a visionary,” Roger Partridge, a current county commissioner, said.

Sullivan, who nominated Partridge to the planning commission in 2004, served as a mentor for the commissioner, Partridge said.

“He was definitely one of the movers and shakers to create who Douglas County is today,” he said.

Fairgrounds and 4-H Sullivan’s colleagues and friends knew the Douglas County Fairgrounds meant a great deal to the man. He not only loved attending events there, he also contributed to the facility’s existence.

“It was really Sully who made the opportunity for the fairgrounds to be what they are today,” Partridge said.

“He went ahead and pushed for the facilities that are now in the indoor arena and the event centers.”

Every year, Sullivan looked forward to the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo, a community event put on by the county

“He was a trendsetter as well as just a great guy.... He wasn’t afraid to have a really down-to-earth, open conversation with you.”

— Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock “If you knew Sully, you knew him as a cheerful guy, always optimistic, and (he) had a great love for his family.”

— Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge “Jim Sullivan was humble, kind and full of gentle humor. No one ever bought green bananas thanks to Sully and his skit that will live forever in the hearts of those fortunate enough to serve with him. Jamie and I send our condolences to his family and loved ones during this time. Thank you to the Sullivan family for giving Jim to Colorado.”

— U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner “There was something about his demeanor that just relaxed you right away, and you knew you could talk to him.... It was important to him that the county maintained that rural feel, that we didn’t lose that to the growth occurring on the northern tier of the county.”

— Michael Cooke, former county commissioner who served with Sullivan “His advice was to the point, it was sage.

It made a lot of common sense, and that describes who he was.”

— Scott McInnis, former U.S. congressman and Mesa County commissioner

JIM SULLIVAN’S FAMILY Jim Sullivan and his wife Donna had three children, one of whom did not survive infancy. His surviving children are Jim Sullivan Jr. and Janet Sullivan. He is also survived by grandchildren David Cardoza, Nikki Rodgers and Tia Rodgers. Grandson Cass James Gelroth died in 2003. His wife, whom he was married to for nearly seven decades, died just four months before him. that includes a carnival, rodeo, livestock sale and live entertainment.

“During the two weeks of the county fair, you never saw him without a cowboy hat,” said former commissioner Michael Cooke, who served with Sullivan for six years. “That was a signature thing for him.”

Sullivan, who served on the fair board for many years, was also a big supporter of the 4-H club, Cooke said.

Every year, he participated in 4-H’s livestock sale.

“It meant a lot to him. And it had a lot to do with the kids,” Sullivan Jr. said. “He thought it was a good, wholesome, all-American, constructive activity.”

The water guy Those who worked with Sullivan during his time as commissioner also saw his dedication to conservation projects.

“Something he should be remembered for is his part in the development of the open space program in Douglas County,” Cooke said. “As a result, Douglas County can really boast that ... there’s a huge land mass that has been preserved.”

Teachers press on amid challenges of remote learning Closure of schools for the year heartbreaking, educators say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the days leading up to the Douglas County School District’s spring break, murmurs began spreading among teachers that students might not return to school once the break ended because of COVID-19.

Temporary school closures ultimately ensued, followed by extensions of those shutdowns, and finally, the announcement on April 3 that the district will remain closed to in-person learning the remainder of the school year.

Students, who could be enrolled in anywhere from five to seven classes depending on grade level, will finish the year learning remotely from home.

The dramatic shift in the delivery of education shocked the teaching community, Douglas County teachers told Colorado Community Media.

None could say they have seen a crisis Sam Kurucz is a social studies teachers at Highlands Ranch High School.

Brock felt heartbroken but also prouder than ever to work in education.

“We will get through this together as a community, and educators will continue to rise up to the challenge of taking care of our students,” she said later by email.

Sam Kurucz, a social studies teacher at Highlands Ranch High School, said news of school closures at first left teachers incredulous and frantically debating what it would mean for their students.

Kurucz expected many children would adapt well to remote education, and he felt most students could handle using technology. But it would not be easy for all students, he said, and that worried him.

“I know plenty of kids that are going 1065 N. Ford St. Golden, CO 80403 to struggle,” he said. “Especially to self-motivate themselves to learn.”

Emotional ups and downs Colleen Meyer, a sixth-grade teacher at Saddle Ranch Elementary School in Highlands Ranch, sorted through mixed emotions after learning schools will stay closed. She’s grateful for her health, but each day is filled with highs and lows, she said.

“I’m excited about some of the new teaching techniques that I have learned,” she said. “And there are moments where I just need to shut my laptop and walk away for a few minutes.”

Teachers said that the sheer num-

ber of emails they now receive can be daunting. They try to use class websites to provide students all the information they need for assignments.

They hold Google Hangouts and Zoom calls to stay connected. They post prerecorded videos with instructions for classwork or answers to questions.

“It’s just been unbelievable to see the creativity in our teaching staff, their patience in terms of working with students and trying to make sure they are making those face-to-face interactions with them,” said school board President David Ray in late March.

Meyer never foresaw herself incorporating “as much differentiation” into her teaching as she is now.

Remote learning requires teachers to meet every student at their individual skill level more than ever, she said.

She allowed her students to pick one of three paths moving forward: the first was remedial skill building, the second was continuing with the learning they began in August and reinforcing those skills, and the third was the most challenging — attempting their first research paper.

Meyer wanted to let students choose the pace for which they felt best prepared while learning remotely.

“It’s not right for every student to be learning new skills remotely,” she said.

Jenna Butler is in her fifth year teaching with the Douglas County School District. The science teacher at Legend High School in Parker can relate to what her students are experiencing — she’s also a student pursuing her graduate degree online.

She tries to make lessons as fun as she can by making morning videos about their assignments with a comical twist, like a goofy outfit or song.

She knew it was possible school could close for the remainder of the year, but she misses her students.

“We had hope we would get to see our students at least one more time this year,” she said.

Brock was grateful that teachers had Friday, March 13 to organize and prepare students for remote learning. Her principal worked on getting computers to students in need of them. Teachers told students how they would communicate with the class moving forward.

“I would say it went from shock to concern to pretty quickly then, action,” Brock said.

For Brock, challenges included ensuring she had a way to contact every student after moving online. She also thought about how to account for every student’s home life and remain mindful of students with fewer support systems.

She’s still waiting to see how remote learning and the pandemic will change education, but she believes teachers are up for the challenge.

“I think if there’s anybody that is capable of shifting on the fly, of working in a crisis moment, of multi-tasking, of learning new material quickly, it has to be teachers who do it best,” Meyer said. “I think that’s what we’ve always done. We’re learners. We learn constantly.”

Superintendent discusses COVID-19 fallout Douglas County School District braces for revenue loss, hopes to operate summer programs

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District is bracing for a possible $11 million loss in revenue for districtrun schools because of the COVID-19 pandemic, has no plans to extend its school year into the summer, and will discuss cuts to its operation in May when staff members roll out next year’s proposed budget.

Superintendent Thomas Tucker revealed that and more about how the pandemic is affecting the Douglas County School District in a virtual town hall on April 16.

Tucker said district staff and board members will return on April 23 to hold a virtual panel with more detail about the pandemic’s financial impact on DCSD but offered insight on what the district knows so far.

“The coronavirus pandemic has already pounded state budgets, as many of you know, and it will leave no school district unharmed next

fiscal year,” Tucker said.

Shutdowns including business closures and resulting high unemployment rates will crater state sales tax and income tax revenue, Tucker said, noting that districts across the state and nation depend on those dollars.

“My heart goes out for our parents and community members who have been furloughed, our community members who are in those occupations that have been hard hit,” Tucker said.

The pandemic has reduced projected 2020-21 per pupil revenue estimates released in July. In fact, Tucker said “the Douglas County School District anticipates flat funding at best.”

That would mean a loss of $222 per pupil, the increase the district was expecting to see next year before the pandemic erupted, or an approximate loss of $11 million in funding for district-run schools and departments.

Tucker cautioned, “this is still an estimate,” and said the district will know more when the state rolls out an updated forecast on May 12.

District staff will present DCSD’s proposed 2020-21 budget on May 26.

“The real depth of the cuts to K-12” will depend on several factors, Tucker said, adding that one of the “main factors that you want to keep

your eye on” will be how state lawmakers decide to spread cuts among competing priorities, like Medicaid and higher education.

It remains unclear how much the district might receive from the state through CARES Act funding or future stimulus packages, but the district is monitoring those relief dollars, Tucker said.

When asked if DCSD will extend its school year and if the district can operate its summer programs, Thomas said superintendents across the country and Front Range are weighing those questions.

“We don’t have any plans to extend our school year. We’re working closely with the Colorado Department of Education and have the waiver needed to finish off our current year remotely, as we are doing,” he said.

He remains hopeful the district can operate summer programs, but the district is waiting to hear public health experts’ and the governor’s recommendations for social distancing as the state looks to reopen later this year.

Sky Ridge Medical Center’s emergency services medical director Adam Barkin joined Tucker in hosting the town hall and said it remains uncertain how quickly the virus will go away.

He’s optimistic students can return to school in the fall, but

students can expect to see changes in the structure of the school day.

Instead of packing 300 children into the lunchroom for meals, he predicts smaller gatherings, plus additional attention to sanitizing buildings.

“There are likely going to need to be some changes,” he said.

Predicting the future is difficult when the virus’s wake has already evolved rapidly, Barkin said. He called Gov. Jared Polis approach to reopening the state “very rational” and reminded community members it will be a gradual process, not like “flipping a light switch.”

Polis said April 15 it is impossible to keep people at home for months but that the state can’t rush back to life as normal. Social distancing restrictions — restaurant closures, stay-at-home orders — will be lifted gradually, he said.

The process could last for “two months, three months, 10 months — however long it is before there’s a cure or vaccine,” Polis said.

Tucker closed the town hall with a word of encouragement for the community.

“Practice grace and forgiveness Take a deep breath and give yourself a break,” he said. “Doggone it, it’s going to be OK. We’re going to make it through this and we’re going to come away stronger.”

Front Range air cleaner following drop in driving Wildlife appearing more often in urban areas as crowds grow in animals’ habitat

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From the health-care system to the economy, COVID-19 has unleashed extraordinary stress and pain across the Denver metro area. But there’s one aspect of life on the Front Range that experts say has been impacted positively — albeit almost certainly temporarily — by the behavioral changes brought on by the virus: the natural environment.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Air Pollution Control Division says a preliminary analysis of air quality data shows there have been significant declines in the concentration of several significant pollutants in the air since stay-at-home and social distancing practices started to be widely observed in the Denver area in March.

Those data come from five sites in and around Denver where the Air Pollution Control Division measures those pollutants.

Comparisons of average measurements collected between March 1 and 25 to measurements collected in Janu-

The view of central Golden from Lookout Mountain. ary and February 2020 and March 2019 found that concentrations of all six pollutants the division measures declined in nearly every instance, with some concentrations declining for as much as 60%.

Levels of nitrous oxide, a pollutant that is emitted from the burning of fuels and contributes to global warming, decreased by at least 11% and as much

as 25% from March 2019 and as much as 59% from February, the comparisons show.

The amount of sulfur dioxide, a component of acid rain, also decreased by more than 50% from March 2019 at two measurement locations, although a third in Adams County showed a 6% increase.

But while those decreases suggest

the pandemic crisis is having a positive impact on air quality in the metro area, CDPHE Air Pollution Control Division Director Gary Kaufman said in a statement that more data would be needed to draw any long-term conclusions about the overall impact of the response on air quality.

Area leaders urge census participation Effort to get accurate count is forced to adapt amid pandemic ripple effects

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Jefferson County Commissioner Casey Tighe watched people stay at home and socially distance amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he couldn’t help but see their efforts as an act of patriotism.

There’s another way people can help their country during the crisis, he said, and that’s by completing the 2020 census, which launched as communities across the nation ramped up public health measures in connection with the pandemic response.

“Ask your family, your friends: ‘Have you filled out the census?’” Tighe said.

While the census may not be top of mind for people amid the pandemic, as they worry about economic hardships and their health, local nonprofit and elected leaders are urging residents to use the extra time at home to partake in the “the gold standard” of data collection.

Gillian Winbourn is program director for Together We Count, a statewide nonprofit aiming to ensure historically undercounted people are represented in the 2020 census. Participa-

tion, particularly now, is paramount, she said.

“This is a way to help Colorado rebuild and make sure that it can get its fair share of support continuing for the next 10 years,” Winbourn said.

“I think in a time like now, we can see how much we rely on services and the government services.”

Together We Count started in 2017 and will operate only for the duration of the 2020 census effort. The organization already expected challenges to the 2020 census because of distrust in government and the possibility that some people will face hurdles responding in new ways.

Before COVID-19 hit, the U.S. Census Bureau was already gearing up for people to respond online, by phone and by mail — for the first time in census history.

Together We Count focuses on reaching populations like renters, immigrants, refugees and people with low literacy — all demographics the census bureau defines as hard to count, Winbourn said. The nonprofit also adds older adults to that list and stresses that young children count.

“We knew that it was going to be a more challenging time,” she said.

“Particularly with COVID, it’s really affected the timeline.”

Gillian noted the census opened on March 12, shortly before social distancing measures took off.

Local governments and nonprofits

RESPONSE BY COUNTY Here are the response rates for some metro area counties, according to an April 13 news release by the U.S. Census Bureau: Douglas County: 63.9% Jefferson County: 63.2% Arapahoe County: 58% Elbert County: 56.3% Adams County: 53% Denver County: 51.5% had to scrap many of their traditional outreach methods to promote the census because of COVID-19, like providing education at community events and meetings. Many said they are now relying more heavily on social media to get the word out.

The U.S. Census Bureau adjusted its 2020 census operational timeline in response to the pandemic. Field activities are not likely to resume until June 1. The current deadline to respond is Aug. 14, said spokeswoman Laurie Cipriano.

As of April 13, the Colorado response rate trailed Kansas by less than 1 percentage point, coming in at No. 11 on the list of states with the best self-response date. Just shy of 52% of Colorado households had responded. The national self-response rate was 48%.

Within Colorado, two counties — Jefferson and Douglas — are neckand-neck for the best self-response

rate in the state, with both above 63% as of an April 13 report. Commissioners for each county said they are competitive and shooting for that No. 1 slot.

“If you’re at home and you have access to computer and internet, you probably have some time to do it. It’s a way to break up your day,” Tighe said.

But there’s much more at stake than bragging rights, the commissioners stressed, as the census will determine how much federal funding is funneled down to local communities.

“There is so much that is based on getting an accurate count. We need to have a complete count and that means 100%,” said Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas.

Thomas, Tighe and Winbourn listed a slew of services impacted by the census.

Funding health-care clinics, Medicare and Medicaid, highways and transportation, disaster relief, educational programs, fire departments and human services are just some of the community services that rely on census data.

The data also informs the business community, such as helping grocery stores decide where to open locations, Winbourn said.

There’s also the issue of representation in Washington.

Unemployment claims break Great Recession record Federal law will make gig workers eligible for benefits

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During the fallout from the Great Recession, the week with the highest number of claims for unemployment assistance filed was the week ending Jan. 9, 2010, with 7,749 claims.

This year, the week ending March 21 — when Colorado closed dine-in restaurant and bar service, and hair and nail salons, spas, and tattoo and massage parlors — shattered that record.

Then, the next three weeks saw the numbers increase fivefold.

Colorado’s economic upheaval during the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted hundreds of thousands of lives, reflected in no more concrete terms than the number of Coloradans applying for unemployment

benefits: those who have been laid off, had work hours reduced or have been furloughed, meaning temporarily laid off.

The week ending March 21 saw 19,745 new unemployment claims filed, according to a Colorado Department of Labor and Employment news release. That set a new state record, far outpacing the Great Recession numbers. The week prior clocked in at just 2,321.

For the week ending March 28, 61,583 initial unemployment claims came in. The following week, 46,065 initial unemployment claims were filed. In the week ending April 11, the department counted 104,217 initial unemployment claims filed.

Those four weeks represent the month-long period with the most unemployment claims filed in Colorado on record, according to Cher Haavind, deputy executive director of the state Labor Department.

Douglas County freezes non-essential hiring Falling sales-tax revenue amid COVID-19 shutdown causes budget uncertainty

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County has frozen hiring for all non-essential positions as the response to novel coronavirus substantially blocks a significant source of the government’s revenue — sales tax.

While it’s still unknown exactly how big of a hit the county’s budget will take, the finance team is preparing for every possible scenario, budget director Martha Marshall said. While they are in a strong position to weather the situation, some of the possible outcomes are “quite concerning,” she said.

“We need to go there because it would be irresponsible for us not to,” she said.

Sales tax and property tax are the two biggest revenue streams for the county, with sales tax making up about 21% and property taxes making up about 44%.

Because sales-tax revenue has about a two-month delay, the county won’t know how much less revenue was brought in during March until June, Marshall said. Until then, the county plans to work with municipalities,

which see their revenues sooner, to help predict the impact they will see.

“We can’t say what it will look like because we’re not there yet,” she said.

“It depends on how long it lasts.”

So far, there hasn’t been any talk of measures like layoffs or furloughs.

“We didn’t do that during the recession so that would be an extreme case for us,” Marshall said.

However, if the situation continues, the team may need to consider cutbacks.

“If we don’t have ongoing revenue, we’re going to have to make adjustments with ongoing expenditures,” she said.

Most of the county’s sales tax revenue goes to capital projects like roads and open space, Marshall said. While most ongoing projects have already been financed, future capital plans could be affected.

In addition to the hiring freeze for non-essential positions, underutilized personnel have been reassigned to programs affected by COVID-19, according to a statement from the county.

Douglas County has prepared for situations like this by adopting a financially conservative approach, Marshall said.

Renters struggling as COVID-19 pandemic drags on Despite temporary halt on evictions, tenants face hardship, uncertainty

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anna Alling-Rafferty spent her pregnancy in a homeless shelter.

With the help of a housing assistance group, she, her husband David and their daughter Remi, now six months old, landed a two-bedroom apartment in Aurora. They moved in on March 17, as efforts to contain COVID-19 reached a fever pitch.

Alling-Rafferty, 25, found herself stuck: Her new full-time job at a pawn shop meant she no longer qualified for government assistance, but her hours were cut amid the pandemic, and stockpiling food to endure cascading shutdowns left her broke.

Short on rent and baby formula, she turned to the internet for help. She appealed to the Facebook group “Help Needed in Denver Metro COVID-19,” and the floodgates opened.

“We got food, cans of formula, even furniture,” Alling-Rafferty said.

“Someone left a box of diapers outside our door. Most importantly, someone donated enough money to cover rent.

I spent so long being looked down on when I was homeless, and here I got nothing but kindness and support.”

Now, with another month of rent looming, she’s caught again: Waiting on a stimulus check that hasn’t arrived, and trying to hash out a possible rent deferment with her property management agency, but worried that deferring rent will only increase her burden in coming months. If all else fails, she may turn back to the kindness of strangers.

“It’s nerve-racking,” she said. “I have a baby now. I never want to be homeless again, but I know it can happen. I hope we figure this out.”

‘I’ve never seen a moment like this’ As unemployment spikes to levels not seen in decades, Alling-Rafferty is one of perhaps thousands of people statewide who will face hardships paying rent in coming months, housing

advocates say.

“It’s pretty dire,” said Zach Neumann, a Denver-based tenants’ rights attorney who founded the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project, a network to help tenants navigate the pandemic.

“I’ve never seen a moment like this.”

Officials in many cities and counties have declared short-term moratoria on eviction proceedings, and the federal government has temporarily halted eviction proceedings on tenants in homes with federally-backed mortgages, but Neumann said many landlords are still placing demands for payment on tenants’ doors.

“We’re anticipating a massive wave of eviction proceedings entering the court process once the moratoria are lifted,” Neumann said. A study Neumann conducted with university researchers suggests nearly half a million Coloradans could face eviction in coming months. About a third of Colorado residents are renters, according to state data.

Federal stimulus checks and unemployment insurance will likely ease the burden, Neumann said, but many tenants still haven’t received that money with the May rent date fast approaching. Rent deferments and late fees mean many tenants will see their payments spike.

The pain stretches across the system, Neumann said. With many tenants unable to pay, many landlords

are in danger of being unable to pay their mortgages. Though landlords with federally-backed mortgages can defer their payments, that only applies to about a third of mortgages.

Though many activists are calling for a widespread rent and mortgage freeze -- Denver City Council unanimously passed a nonbinding resolution in support of the idea in mid-April -- Neumann said he’s not sure that’s legally feasible, a position shared by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who said he doesn’t have the authority to effectively suspend private contracts.

A longer-term statewide or national eviction moratorium to supersede the current patchwork would go a long way, Neumann said.

“It would buy tenants and landlords time, and alleviate the anxiety tenants are feeling,” he said.

‘Everyone wins when people stay in their homes’ It’s in the best interest of landlords and tenants for people to stay in their homes, said Michelle Lyng, spokesperson for the Colorado Apartment Association, a trade association representing 75% of the state’s rental housing owners.

The association has been lobbying at the federal level for mortgage deferment programs, Lyng said, but said that’s not a panacea. For many landlords, the mortgage covers less than half their costs, with the rest going toward maintenance, payroll and utilities. Landlords make a 9% profit margin on average, she said.

A COVID-19 task force convened by the association issued recommendations to property owners, including forgoing late fees. The task force is also recommending tenants in dire straits reach out to charitable organizations for rent assistance.

“The first step for tenants is to have a frank conversation with your housing provider,” Lyng said. “It’s an awkward conversation, but you’re not alone. Nobody wants empty units, and everyone wins when people stay in their homes.”

Knowing what to ask for Meanwhile, charitable organizations, especially those offering rent

assistance, are seeing demand on limited resources explode.

Daily call volume has more than tripled at Mile High United Way’s 211 call center, a clearinghouse that connects people in need to aid agencies.

“In normal circumstances, rent resources are available at the beginning of the month and run out pretty quickly,” said Fermin Avila, who runs the 211 call center. “That was pre-COVID. Are we on stable footing?

Not really. Things are shifting frequently. As resources are exhausted, we keep searching for what else is out there.”

With rental assistance funds a finite resource, Avila said the call center’s “resource navigators” help callers find what he calls the “silent need” -- other ways to help the caller hadn’t thought of.

“How about utility assistance? Food assistance? Help looking for a job?”

Avila said. “If we can ease the burden in other parts of their lives, they can free up money toward rent. Everyone needs help sometimes, but they might now know what to ask for.”

‘The solutions aren’t working’ For some tenants, relying on charitable organizations and government assistance doesn’t cut it.

“Putting the onus on aid groups is saying it’s up to poor people to help poor people,” said Desiree Kane, one of the founders of “Colorado Rent Strike and Eviction Defense,” a Facebook group focused on mutual aid for tenants during the pandemic, now topping 4,000 members. “The state’s unemployment system is terribly backed up. These solutions aren’t working the way they’re supposed to.”

Kane said despite eviction moratoria, the group is filling with people sharing angry letters from landlords, many threatening to throw tenants out for nonpayment.

The housing crisis is also exposing racial inequity, Kane said — much like people of color are disproportionately the victims of COVID-19, black, Latino and indigenous people are an outsize number of people facing housing insecurity.

“We’re trying to get people to come together over this,” Kane said. “Ultimately, small-time landlords aren’t our enemies — it’s the banks we bailed out in 2008. That’s why it’s important that we’re calling for a full-scale rent and mortgage freeze.”

Kane doesn’t buy Polis’ argument that he lacks the power to freeze rents.

“It’s the only equitable answer,” Kane said. “This is only going to get worse. The economy isn’t going to magically get back on track in May.” In the meantime, back in Anna Alling-Rafferty’s Aurora apartment, the young mom is doing what she can to stay in her home.

“I hope this entire situation makes people realize our economic situation wasn’t as stable as we said, even before the virus,” Alling-Rafferty said.

“Let’s stay focused on helping each other, and keep building the connections we’re making now. Let’s focus less on ourselves, and ask each other, ‘Are you OK?’”

Rotary steps up aid to food bank Castle Rock club contributes thousands to support Help and Hope STAFF REPORT

Rotarians in Castle Rock have stepped up to help make sure the local food bank can continue its mission during the COVID-19 crisis.

The Help and Hope Center in Castle Rock, which provides a countywide food bank, has been suffering from a lack of food and volunteers since the outbreak of the virus, according to a news release.

Members of the Rotary Club, which has been meeting virtually since March 25, contributed $7,850 to the center through a recent fundraising campaign, and the Rotary Club Foundation allocated $8,000 to support the food pantry, the release said.

Combined with a $1,500 grant from Rotary District 5450 and $3,000 from the foundation earlier in the year, contributions to the Help and Hope Center have reached $20,350 for the year.

Dan Marlow, executive director of Help and Hope, told the club

at its virtual meeting April 8 that food donations from local and regional stores dropped to almost nothing as the virus spread and people were asked to shelter in place. At the same time, he said, demand has skyrocketed.

“We saw a 50% increase in demand in the first week of April,” Marlow said in the release. “We served between 500 and 600 people in that week. We badly need beef and dairy products. We are doing

or best to keep up, to fulfill our mission.”

In addition, many of the food bank volunteers had to quit because they are older than 65 and in the prime risk group for the virus; however, the food bank remained open with the help of younger volunteers and by hiring some people.

The center also had to close its thrift store, which brings in $5,000 to $6,000 a month. Making it through April will be difficult and May could be just as bad, Marlow said in the release.

Wes Schuneman, president of the Rotary Club of Castle Rock, said the club has supported the Help and Hope Center for years, but a special effort was needed at this time.

“Our club has been a longtime supporter of the Help & Hope Center and the Douglas/Elbert Task Force,” Schuneman said in the release. “During this time of crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our board felt that we would be more effective if we channeled both our financial and human efforts toward one organization. The Help and Hope Center was an easy choice, as they are on the front line when it comes to supplying basic human needs, food, shelter and clothing.”

SULLIVAN FROM PAGE 2

Sullivan also worked on securing resources like water for future generations of residents.

“He was the water guy,” Cooke said. “He had a great knowledge and a great sense about water issues.”

Sullivan also played a significant role in securing the Park Meadows mall and E-470 projects, according to his family and colleagues.

“Douglas County offers a choice of both rural and urban lifestyles and responsible development has really created that,” Cooke said. “So much of that he played a big part in during his years on the commission.”

A legacy Sullivan was known to many as a family man with a deep sense of faith. He was the kind of guy who had a profound impact on everyone he met, his son said.

“He had deep, deep, powerful effects on people without trying to,” Jim Sullivan Jr. said. “I think it’s because he was a sincere and honest person.”

Sullivan was also known for his humor and wit.

“There was never a conversation with Sully that didn’t leave you in stitches,” Cooke said.

When Cooke last spoke to Sullivan over the phone in February, he was still leaving her in stitches with his one-liners and jokes, she said.

“It’s hard to describe a guy as big as he was,” she said. “He was big in terms of his legacy, the people he touched, the kids he helped and the county he grew. He was big.”

Answering your questions about COVID-19 in Colorado What are stay-at-home order limits? When will COVID-19 peak occur? Can a person get COVID-19 twice? And more

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Still have questions about COVID19? You’re probably not alone.

Just over a month after authorities detected the new coronavirus in Colorado, information about the disease itself — and how Colorado policies are reacting to it — is still evolving and can be tough to follow.

Here is a look at questions about COVID-19 in Colorado, including answers about how the statewide stay-at-home order is enforced (hint: you don’t need to provide paperwork to police), whether you can leave your house to take care of a friend, when the pandemic will reach its peak in Colorado and more.

How far can a stay-at-home order go?

It’s unclear, but it appears unlikely that the order could get much more extreme.

Under Colorado law, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has broad authority to close theaters, schools and other public places. The agency also can seek isolation or quarantine of individuals when necessary to protect public health, according to a fact sheet from the office of Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser.

The health department’s executive director, Jill Hunsaker Ryan, has not said the state is considering closing more types of businesses or giving people less ability to leave home — nor have other state officials.

The state has been evaluating the success of the order, and “if we need to do something differently around the stay-at-home order, we certainly can,” Ryan told reporters April 6.

But she added: “When we make these decisions in Colorado, the governor takes into account personal freedom and economic consequences and then tries to balance all that in the context of hospital capacity.”

When will the peak occur?

The “peak” is the time when the number of reported COVID-19 cases reaches its highest point.

PHOTO VIA CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION’S PUBLIC HEALTH IMAGE LIBRARY/DEBORA CARTAGENA

Data show that Colorado’s social distancing has slowed the spread of COVID-19 and has delayed the peak to some degree.

For a while in March, the number of COVID-19 cases in the state was doubling every 1 1/2 days. As of early April, cases were doubling roughly every six days, according to state officials.

The peak “could be anywhere from May until later in summer, and we hope to narrow that down,” Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist, told reporters on April 6. She noted that predictions depend on the level of social distancing the stay-at-home order achieves — in other words, how well people comply.

Can I take care of a friend?

The statewide stay-at-home order explicitly says Coloradans can leave home to care for family members and pets — and even livestock — in another location. But what about a friend?

The order also allows for taking care of other “vulnerable” people.

During the pandemic, state officials have used that term to mean people more likely to become infected with COVID-19 — people older than 60 or those with serious health conditions.

Young people who have disabilities or other needs may need support, too, said Mike Willis, director of the state Emergency Operations Center.

The word “vulnerable” used in this part of the stay-at-home order isn’t limited to older adults, or people with disabilities or serious health conditions, according to Ian Dickson, a spokesman for the state health department.

And in general, the order allows Coloradans to deliver necessary services or supplies, such as food or other groceries, to others.

What about school resources?

Under the order, Coloradans can

still get meals or collect materials for online class from schools or related institutions.

What happens when stay-at-home order ends?

The order is set to expire April 26.

But even if it is lifted on that date, life won’t fully snap back to normal until there are medical advancements regarding the virus, such as a vaccine, Gov. Jared Polis said at an April 8 news conference.

“The guidance around how we do business and live our lives in a safe way, because the COVID-19 virus will still be with us after April 26, will be issued before April 26,” Polis said.

State officials are considering how restaurants can reopen in some way, whether it’s at the end of April or later, Polis said.

Lifting the order likely doesn’t mean going to a crowded concert at the Pepsi Center or going to a crowded bar and dance club anytime soon, Polis told reporters two days later.

Can I get COVID-19 twice?

Based on public health officials’ understanding of other coronaviruses, those who recover from COVID-19 should have immunity, said Ryan, the health department director.

But the full picture is not yet understood, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Patients with MERS-CoV — another coronavirus that causes severe respiratory illness — are unlikely to be re-infected shortly after they recover, but it is not yet known whether similar immune protection will be observed for COVID-19 patients, the CDC’s website says.

Will I get pulled over by police?

Violating Colorado’s statewide stayat-home order could result in a fine of up to $1,000 and imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year.

But Coloradans likely won’t see law enforcement conduct road checkpoints or pull over drivers or pedestrians to enforce the order. When asked about such measures, Willis said the state encourages voluntary compliance.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, which covers Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties, said this in a news release: “Law enforcement and public health officials are tasked with investigating possible violations of the orders, but if they question you, you do not need to provide any paperwork

or documentation that your travel is essential. There are no checkpoints because of COVID-19.”

Is testing free?

In March, there was confusion over the actual cost of a COVID-19 test.

“Testing is free,” a March 10 state news release said.

The cost of medical visits related to getting tested was a different story.

Now, because of recent federal legislation, people with any kind of private health insurance should have free access to the COVID-19 test — along with any doctor visits associated with getting the test — with no co-pays, deductibles or co-insurance charged, according to the Colorado Division of Insurance.

Coloradans should check with their health-care provider to be sure, though.

For Coloradans with Medicare, all of the costs are covered if a doctor orders a COVID-19 test, according to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Under Colorado’s Medicaid program — Health First Colorado — and the Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), all the costs of testing and the doctors’ visits associated with getting tested are covered, according to the state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.

Uninsured Coloradans should contact that office at 303-866-2993 to ask about options. To apply for Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus, visit colorado.gov/peak.

Can I get a test?

The state is working toward mass testing capability to more accurately quarantine individuals “instead of quarantining an entire society,” Polis has said.

Such an effort could take weeks or perhaps months to be ready, he said in late March.

In the meantime, the state health department has reminded residents that at-risk individuals — such as hospital patients, health-care workers and some others — are first in line for scarce testing supplies.

“If you have only mild symptoms, self-isolate and don’t wait for a test,” Scott Bookman, incident commander for the department, said in a March 30 news release.

How can I get financial or other help?

The state has put together a website of resources for food, shelter, rental assistance, unemployment assistance, child care, health care and more: stayathomeco.colorado.gov/get-help-now.

Or call 2-1-1 for help with many of these resources.

How can I get help as a business?

Small business owners in Colorado with fewer than 500 employees can apply for a paycheck protection loan to help keep their workforce employed during the pandemic.

but before Colorado ordered certain businesses to close during the week ending March 21.

FROM PAGE 7

In the coming weeks, Colorado may see the most unemployment benefits paid by dollar amount on record, possibly topping the record from the Great Recession, which lasted 18 months from December 2007 to June 2009 and created ripple effects of job losses lasting long afterward. A direct comparison is difficult because Great Recession data is monthly, said Ryan Gedney, senior economist for the department.

“That said, we paid out roughly $103 million in regular (unemployment) benefits May 2009 — the highest monthly total on record.

From week ending March 21 to week ending April 11, we paid out $109 million in regular (unemployment) benefits,” Gedney said.

Colorado’s unemployment rate increased from 2.5% in February to 4.5% in March, according to a news release from the department. That’s Colorado’s highest unemployment rate since August 2015, according to the release.

The unemployment rate is measured based on the week that includes the 12th of the month — March 8 to March 14 — so the change in unemployment rate reflects the impact on Colorado’s employment during the first stages of the COVID-19 outbreak in the state,

Working on wait times The state Labor Department experienced unprecedented traffic from those looking to file claims, and department officials in April were in conversations to outsource some call activity — as other states have done — to help take pressure off the regular call center, Haavind said.

The system “was handling 2,000 claims a week — now we’re at, in some weeks, 60,000. The sheer volume of calls to the call center is just unmanageable,” Haavind told reporters April 16.

Haavind also warned the public about fraud: She’s heard reports of people going door-to-door misrepresenting themselves or calling and asking for bank routing information and saying it regards unemployment benefits, for example.

“Just to remind folks, you should never be asked for personal identifying information” in those ways, Haavind said.

Data across industries The five industries with highest number of claims for the week ending March 28 were: • Accommodation and food services: 21,124 claims; • Health care and social service: 9,717; • Retail: 7,400;

• Other services, such as nail and beauty salons and barbers: 5,914; • Arts, entertainment and recreation: 4,080.

“Now, you may be asking why health care and social assistance claims are in that top five list,” the department said in a “talking points” sheet for a call with reporters. “The primary driver in the increase in those claims is from offices of dentists. Offices of physicians, other health practitioners — like chiropractors and optometrists — and child day care services are also seeing substantial increases in claims.”

Gig workers, others now eligible Those who work part-time or temporary positions as gig workers — such as driving for Lyft — are also eligible for unemployment benefits in light of the recently passed federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. On April 17, the state announced that people who have lost gig work and similar previously ineligible positions will be able to apply for benefits starting April 20.

The legislation makes “pandemic unemployment assistance” available for up to 39 weeks to those not ordinarily eligible, according to the state Labor Department. That includes gig workers, the self-employed, contract employees, those who cannot work from home during a shelter order and those who have

exhausted regular unemployment benefits. It also includes workers directly impacted by COVID-19, such as those who need to care for a child whose school is closed or a dependent who tested positive for the illness.

“When you add on the newly eligible workers under the CARES Act, we could easily see more than $200 million per month” paid in unemployment benefits in Colorado, Haavind said.

The state Unemployment Insurance Division has to reprogram its systems to provide the new benefits, the state Labor Department said in a news release. All eligible workers will receive these benefits backdated and will not lose out on any amount to which they are entitled, the release added.

Additional weekly $600 available Also new under the CARES Act is the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation program, providing an extra $600 per week to any individual eligible for any unemployment compensation program.

The state said that provision also will become effective April 20.

Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation provides an additional 13 weeks of benefits beyond the standard maximum of 26 weeks for regular unemployment benefits.

On Monday mornChris Rotar ings in my Florida hometown, especially in the fall, I’d walk to the local convenience store on my way to the bus stop, deposit a quar-

The price of the paper went up a little over the years, but I kept reading.

I’d go on to write sports stories for that local daily and other papers, and instead of paying for the paper, they paid me. Eventually, I switched over to the news side and got hooked, copy editing stories about the 2000 presidential election and the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

n a Monday in March, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock briefly panicked the city by declaring liquor stores to be non-essential businesses. He declared they would have to close and remain closed until further notice, starting the next day.

Maybe you know QUIET what happened next.

For the rest of that DESPERATION Monday lines were out the door at liquor stores around town. Twentyfive years ago, I would have needed a U-Haul.

Then that evening, Hancock changed his mind.

I thought about those of us who drink and Craig Marshall drink a lot. As well as about the ones who Smith might be triggered to relapse during a quarantine.

Have current events affected alcohol sales? Just a little.

The Washington Post reported, “The extreme worry and isolation sparked by the coronavirus pandemic is likely leading many people to increase their consumption of beer, wine and hard alcohol, experts say. A recent survey

by the market firm Nielsen reported off-premises sales of alcoholic beverages across the United States have grown 55% in the week ending March 21.”

Twenty-five years ago, I wouldn’t know what day it is right now. Alcohol — specifically vodka — was my best friend.

Until it wasn’t.

I’m not out of the woods: no one in recovery is. But there have been no temptations or cravings during this wild ride through the pandemic.

As for others? I don’t know, but I’m guessing it’s been too much for some of us. If true, my thoughts are with you.

There’s no glamour in being an alcoholic, but there have been some glamorous alcoholics.

Lord Byron, John Barrymore, W.C. Fields, Ben Affleck, Dana Andrews, Oksana Baiul, George Best, Humphrey Bogart, Charles Bukowski, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, William Holden.

Holden, 63, was found dead in his Santa Monica apartment, apparently af ter falling during a binge and hitting his head. He was found two or three days after the incident.

Building winning relationships at home and at work

elationships at home are being strengthened during our time of quarantine and isolation as we get reacquainted with our family.

Relationships are also being tested as we know that old saying, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” Relationships at work are also being strengthened as people are stepWINNING ping up their virtual communication game WORDS - and figuring out how to work productively and positively while working from home.

Yet some relationships at work are suffering as the remote working scenarios are not working out as planned.

Michael Norton If you have figured out how to deepen your relationships at home and at work, I encourage you to stay on your path, and maybe share with others some of your secrets. In this brief column, I hope to share a few insights when it comes to building winning relationships at home and at work. You will recognize that some of the things that help create a winning relationship from home and at work are really the same things.

for the 1947 film “Dear Ruth” next to the last name of his co-star, Joan Caulfield, and that’s where the main character in “The Catcher in the Rye” came from. However, Salinger had written a short story in 1941 about an alienated teen named Holden Caulfield.

I am not entirely sure why I have not relapsed. After all, the conditions are perfect for what I am: an isolation drinker.

Isolation drinkers drink at home, - alone. That’s me.

It’s a seemingly perfect way to wallow in the disease (if that’s what it is).

Until when? Until an isolation drinker runs out of alcohol and then it’s the worst.

I walked for miles to get a bottle. Each step was necessary and each step was

that comes out is a lack of communication. Are we over-communicating?

Are we under-communicating? Have we gone totally silent and counting on grunts and groans to send our message?

And when we are communicating, are we making sure that we are truly listening? Are we listening with the same passion that we want to be heard?

Are we talking with our family and our remote associates? Or are we talking at our family and remote associates?

My guidance has always been to look for the good when communicating. Too often we are looking for an opening to provide an answer or some kind of comeback. When we look for the good, we will find the good. When we listen to understand, we will earn trust. When we communicate in a way that allows our family, friends, and associates to be heard, we start building winning relationships. Communication is so very important as it is one of the primary ways that we share information and feelings.

Gratitude is next on the list, as it’s been said that gratitude is one of the strongest human emotions. Showing gratitude lets those around us know just how important they are to us and how much we truly appreciate them.

We can communicate gratitude in so many ways; saying please and thank you; providing recognition of a job well done; letting our loved ones know how much we love them; doing something humiliating. Necessity won every time.

If this were a meeting I’d tell my story. It’s not unusual: lots of help, therapy, research, meetings, help, therapy, determination, meetings and luck.

Luck? I’m lucky to be alive. I’ve thought about it and I think about it every time I read about someone like Amy Winehouse.

Like her or not, that girl could sing.

If I had checked out 25 years ago, I wouldn’t be sitting here doing something I love, writing, with someone I love nearby.

I’m not about to tell anyone to quit drinking, especially right now. The illusion of alcohol’s benefits might be too great. I just hope anyone who has relapsed makes it to the other side of this alive.

Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@ comcast.net.

When we take the time to really communicate, find ways to show our gratitude and appreciation, and learn to love on our families, friends, loved ones, coworkers, customers, and partners, we will have an awesome foundation for building winning relationships at home and at work.

So how about you? My hope is that all the relationships in your life are strong and happy. If you could use a little help with communication, showing gratitude, or living in the spirit of love, I would love to hear from you at mnorton@tramazing.com. And when we learn how to build winning relationships at home and at work, it really will be a better than good week.

Local runners navigate postponements, crowded trails amid COVID-19

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

n March, Lakewood High School cross-country and track coach Bryn Smetana was four months into training for her first Boston Marathon. She was following a training schedule planned out to the day and the mile, preparing for a race about a month away, when an announcement threw a wrench into her plans: Following the lead of numerous athletic events worldwide, the marathon would be postponed for five months.

“I was doing my longest runs and running every day, and now I have to in a sense start over,” Smetana said. “I recreated my entire plan.”

With the marathon rescheduled from April 20 to Sept. 14, Smetana’s focus has shifted from pushing herself to the limit to simply maintaining her fitness levels. And among fellow Colorado runners also waiting out the five-month marathon delay and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many have taken the same approach.

The Boston Marathon brings more than 30,000 runners from across the world to Boston each spring. This year, more than 300 individuals from the Denver area have plans to run the race, with entrants making a series of unexpected adjustments to ensure they can stay committed to an event that is now months away — and stay fit in a time when training requires more precautions than ever before.

Those precautions span the physical, such as learning to run with a mask on, to the social, as distancing guidelines require residents to stay at least six feet apart.

Focus on safety Arvada resident Brad Lindeberg said he often has run with groups like the Arvada Runners club, but since the pandemic hit, the group has canceled its weekly group runs, staying in touch over social media instead.

Thornton resident Veronica Reish said that while she used to complete longer training runs while her father biked beside her, she since has transitioned to running alone.

But even despite a commitment to running without training partners, social distancing can prove difficult along the Denver area’s crowded trail system, the runners said.

“I’ve done a couple of very early morning runs, but I’m trying to not go out because there are more people on the trails,” Reish said. “I’ve had to step back a little bit and do a lot more running on the treadmill at home.”

Others, like Rich Airey, a Denver resident and running coach, have turned to running on the streets to

Barb Hurtt, who lives in unincorporated Jefferson County, runs along Golden’s Clear Creek Trail. Hurtt has been a runner for about 25 years and has run about half a dozen previous marathons, with plans to run the Boston Marathon this year, postponed until Sept. 14.

LOCAL RUN CLUBS

Lakewood High teacher and cross-country coach Bryn Smetana runs a trail in Littleton, wearing a cloth face covering as directed by the CDC. COURTESY OF BRYN SMETANA avoid crowded parks and trails.

“There’s hardly any traffic. I’m trying to run every street (in the city),” Airey said. “I started off with a square-mile perimeter of my house and I’m going from there. I check off the streets as I go.”

Another common challenge for local runners has been figuring out exactly how much to run, as they balance unusual amounts of free time with the fact that races won’t resume until the fall.

As a coach, Airey said he has seen two common trends among Colorado runners.

“Either people are completely losing all of their motivation and doing nothing, or they’re thinking, ‘I need to take advantage of this and do more,’” he said. “My advice would be just to continue what you’ve been doing and,

When social distancing restrictions are lifted, area runners can get together with any one of the many running clubs spanning the metro area. Groups include: Arvada Runners: facebook.com/groups/ arvadarunners Belmar Running Club: facebook.com/ BelmarRunningClub Castle Rock Run Club: strava.com/ clubs/211712 Colorado Masters Running/Racewalking Association: comastersrun.org Denver Trail Runners: denvertrailrunners. com Highlands Ranch Running Club: highlandsranchrunningclub.org Mile High Runners: www.milehighrunners.com Rocky Mountain Road Runners: rmrr.org if anything, do a little bit less.”

Lindeberg agreed, saying members of the running community have been encouraging one another not to push themselves too hard.

“When you train really hard, you compromise your immune system.

Now, it’s more of a focus on running for enjoyment and not doing as many miles,” he said. “We’ve collectively said, let’s just get our base mileage in and be ready to race when races start happening again.”

A positive spin For some, the rescheduling has come with silver linings. Littleton runner Callie Skokos, for instance, had plans to run the Boston Marathon April 20 and the London Marathon April 26.

With both rescheduled, for Sept. 14 and Oct. 4 respectively, she’ll now have a longer turnaround between the two

races, she said.

Aiming to raise money for Children’s Hospital Colorado through the race, she acknowledged the virus could have a negative impact on fundraising. “Especially with people being out of work, people are more focused on their day-to-day, instead of donations,” she said.

That said, “I hope through the summer, I’ll possibly be able to raise more,” she said.

Barb Hurtt, a University of Denver teaching assistant professor who lives in unincorporated Jefferson County, added that for runners who actually have more work during the pandemic, instead of more free time, the postponement has been a somewhat welcome break.

“My work obligations increased about 50%, so it’s kind of been a blessing that I’ve had less demand on my training,” she said. “And I’ll enjoy being able to train over the summer, in nicer weather — I can’t tell you how many days I spent on the treadmill in February.”

Many of the runners said they remain unsure whether the race will actually go forward as scheduled in September, or if the virus’s impacts will prompt the Boston Athletic Association to postpone the race again.

But if all goes as planned, Airey, Hurtt, Lindeberg, Reish, Skokos and Smetana all still plan to represent Colorado at the race later this year, with hopes that the changes could, ultimately, even improve their times Sept. 14.

“This has helped me strengthen my runs. It’s something I look forward to every day,” Smetana said. “I’m just grateful I’m still able to get fresh air.”

Castle Rock teen headed to American Ninja Warrior Junior championships Kaden Lebsack, 14, makes finals as Season 2 ‘comeback kid’

Kaden Lebsack, 14, competes during American Ninja Warrior Junior season 2.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock residents can catch one of their own in the grand finale of “American Ninja Warrior Junior” this summer.

Kaden Lebsack, 14, advanced from the semifinals in the show’s most recent episode, which aired April 10.

The championships will air June 12 on the Universal Kids network. At stake is the title and a $15,000 cash prize.

Kaden, a newcomer to the television show, is no stranger to ninja athletics, which involves extreme obstacle courses built to test an athlete’s speed or endurance.

The Castle Rock teen competes in professional ninja competitions nationwide and trains at Ninja Intensity, the gym his family founded with his coach John Maul in 2016.

Kaden first became interested in ninja athletics after watching “American Ninja Warrior.” On the junior spinoff version, children are timed while running against a competitor through elaborate obstacle courses in a race against each other and the clock.

Uncontrollable nerves build up in Kaden when he waits at the start line, he said, although he uses those moments to form a game plan.

“Before I run the course, I pretty much plan out every single move and I just try to get it down as fast as I can,” he said. “And then hopefully everything goes right.”

His mother, Brandi, said she feels even more stressed than Kaden watching him compete. Athletes lose the race if they fall off the course, and the slightest misstep can cost them precious seconds.

During competitions, Brandi stands on the sidelines with the family, looking at the course and wondering how Kaden will be able to manage the obstacles, she said.

But when the buzzer sounds, Kaden is off at lightning speed. He became known on this season for his signature move on the Sky Hooks obstacle — where athletes must use hoops to jump from one hooked peg to another — and proved to be one of the fastest athletes in the competition.

Kaden, 13 at the time of the show’s July filming in Los Angeles, made the finals after recovering from “the brink of elimination,” as announcers put it.

“He raced the fastest kid in the first episode (he appears in),” Brandi said, explaining Kaden overcame a 1-2 record through a wildcard round before qualifying for finals. “He’s basically been the comeback kid in this whole season.”

In wildcard rounds, athletes with the fastest times who were knocked out in earlier rounds can compete to get back into the competition.

“Just to see him not give up, because that can eventually take an athlete down, when they get beat,” she said.

“You never know how that is going to affect them mentally.”

Ninja competitions are unique from other sports in more ways than one, Kaden said. Athletes not only train together but cheer each other on while competing. Kaden clapped and cheered for competitors he won against so far in Season 2, urging them to finish the course. Brandi can be seen on camera hugging the mother of an athlete who fell off the course while running against Kaden.

“I think it really makes the sport,” Kaden said of the supportive environment. “It’s just really cool to see other people do well, because you know what they put into it.”

Kaden felt relieved and excited after qualifying for the finals, he said, but the nerves also came flooding back.

Finals meant more courses to run against “really good competitors at that point,” Brandi said. The Lebsacks can’t reveal the show’s outcome, having filmed in July, but hope people tune in for the finale to see how Kaden did.

“The show is a whole different level,” Brandi said.

Regardless of the outcome, Kaden is grateful he made the championships.

“It’s awesome, because you know how hard you’ve worked for it,” he said. “It’s an awesome feeling.”

Ducky Derby postponed; virtual event set for June 7 Castle Rock Rotary will host in-person derby, street fair when it is safe to gather as community STAFF REPORT

Local organizations have had to get creative with their community events, many of which have been canceled or postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Rotary Club of Castle Rock is no exception, delaying its annual Ducky Derby Street Fair until it is safe to gather again as a community, accord-

ing to a news release. While the June 7 in-person event was postponed, Rotary will put on a Virtual Ducky Race and present $1,000 in funding to a local nonprofit organization.

To support the virtual duck race, meet the ducks and see the derby leaderboard, go to https://rotaryclubofcastlerock.org.

Rotary plans to gather later in the year for the in-person Ducky Derby Street Fair and join with the Festival Park Farmer’s Market by Local Colorado. The main event will be the derby, during which thousands of numbered rubber duck will be released into Plum Creek and race a half-mile to the finish line.

Buying Ducky Derby tickets supports the community, and the first

10 ducks will earn a cash prize for their ticket holders. In addition, the winning ducks provides the ticket holder a chance to win a new car from Medved Autoplex. Each $5 donation to the Rotary Club earns a ticket for one duck. Five ducks can be sponsored for a donation of $20.

The Ducky Derby is the largest fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Castle Rock. Donations received are distributed primarily to local nonprofits that serve the community by providing basic needs, emergency relief, education, or related services.

Since July 2017, the Rotary Club of Castle Rock has averaged distributions of more than $50,000 per year to nonprofits and scholarships for local students.

With restaurant sales restricted, some have shifted to a grocery model Some sell and deliver items like bread, milk and eggs

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Before the COVID-19 pandemic reached Colorado, Indulge Bistro & Wine Bar was having a record year.

The restaurant’s three locations, Highlands Ranch, Golden and Centennial, were shut down for in-store dining March 17, along with the rest of the state’s sit-down food establishments.

“We knew it was going to have an impact on our business before the shutdowns,” said co-owner Peter Fatianow.

Fatianow, a long-time entrepreneur who owns the restaurant with his wife, said he knew the business would have to make a major shift to survive.

“Delivery can’t sustain a restaurant business right now,” he said.

The way he sees it, it doesn’t make sense to pay the costs of preparing the food in the hopes that there will be enough orders, he said.

Instead, he and his wife Delinda decided to switch their restaurant to a grocery model. The day after Gov. Jared Polis closed restaurants to dinein service, they opened the grocery and closed their kitchens for any food preparation.

“We were ready to roll,” Fatianow said.

Instead of shelves and carts, however, the store has dining tables and boxes of food products. Because of the virus, only five people are allowed

Delinda Fatianow, co-owner of Indulge Bistro and Wine Bar, holds up a bottle of oil for sale to customers. The restaurant recently switched to a grocery model after it was closed for dine-in service.

ELLIOTT WENZLER inside at a time and they are required to stand on red x’s — six feet apart, of course.

The store also encourages patrons to place their orders over the phone so the employees can bring the food out to the car.

“It was very clear that the pain people were feeling is that they would go into grocery stores and shelves would be bare,” Fatianow said. “The other part is that higher risk people are concerned about touching grocery carts.”

The stores also deliver their grocery items, which include items like flour, bread, eggs, wine, vegetables, meat, fish and milk.

The restaurant also offers a variety of food packs, such as the burger pack, which includes beef patties, brioche

buns and a bottle of ketchup.

The stress of layoffs When the restrictions on dine-in service were announced, Indulge had to lay off about 70 of its 80 employees, only keeping a few to help with the grocery store.

“I’ve never had to have a mass layoff in any companies,” Fatianow said.

“That was by far the hardest thing in my entrepreneurial career that I’ve ever had to do.”

During that first week, Fatianow and his remaining team worked up to 18 hours per day as they pivoted their entire business model, he said.

“We had to figure out a way these leases were going to get paid or they were going to come take our house,” he said. “It was survival.”

Now that the grocery model seems to be thriving, they’ve granted themselves a few moments of rest before they start in on the next steps: figuring out what happens when the sanctions are lifted.

“What will restaurants look like when we reopen?” he said. “Are people going to want to come back?”

Fatianow hopes to see the regulations that were waived to allow restaurants like his to sell bottled wine and grocery products permanently changed.

“We’re trying to be proactive… and provide additional revenue streams for restaurants that make it out of this,” he said.

Indulge isn’t the only restaurant that has adopted this approach. Others in the area have also started selling bulk or raw items like eggs, condiments and even toilet paper.

Tributary Food Hall in Golden has temporarily shifted to a gourmet grocery store. While Taste of Philly in Highlands Ranch started selling grocery items at the start of the shutdown, the store eventually stopped after not finding many buyers, owner Martin Garvey said.

“One of the reasons we’re able to do this is because we have a completely different supply chain,” Fatianow said.

Fatianow expected they would make some sales, he said. What surprised him, is just how excited people are about what they see as fewer germs and more accessible food.

“They appreciate that they don’t have to go to a grocery store,” he said.

“And we can help feed their family in a safe way.”

Medical issues don’t stop swimmer Tanner Guderian took part in relay teams

anner Guderian, a senior at Mountain Vista High School, has scoliosis and epilepsy but is a member of the Highlands Ranch High School co-op team. He swam on two Falcons relay teams that placed 13th in last year’s state swim championships.

“I have scoliosis, which is a curvature of the spine,” Guderian said. “I have a 19-degree curve in my lower back which is pretty extreme for a guy. This means I’m constantly living with pain in my back and that can make some of the different turns and strokes in swimming pretty difficult.

Q&A with Guderian

medication for my epilepsy. I was diagnosed with it when I was 10 and suffered up to 15 seizures a day before we found a medication that worked. That meant I had seizures practically everywhere at school, at home and in the pool.

“That made it pretty nerve-racking for my parents and coaches as they did not want me to risk having a seizure and drowning just so I could continue a sport,” he continued. “It was also pretty terrifying for me whenever I would have one in the water.”

Guderian said swimming helped.

“I didn’t overcome these challenges so I could keep swimming,” he said. “Swimming helped me overcome these challenges. It would have been very easy for me to say `my back hurts’ or `I probably shouldn’t be doing this’ and just give up swimming. Because I stayed in the water, I was able to prove to myself, even though things are maybe a little uncomfortable, I can live a normal life and keep doing what I love.”

How does missing the season affect your college plans?

I’m very disappointed about the senior season.

It would have given me a chance to drop times so colleges could see them.

How do you like online learning in school these days?

This is my last quarter, so it hasn’t been too bad.

Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Michael Phelps because of what he did in the Olympics. (He won 28 Olympic medals and 23 were gold).

COACH’S TAKE: “He swims for the Aces Swim Club and Highlands Ranch. He was on track to have an amazing year but with COVID-19, his high school season and club season were canceled.

This effectively ended his chance to swim at a Division I level in college.”

Attorney general warns about COVID-19 relief check scammers Scammers are using the checks the federal government is scheduled to send as part of the coronavirus stimulus package to encourage Coloradans to share bank account numbers or other sensitive personal information, according to a news release issued March 30 by Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser.

“As Congress worked to complete the first COVID-19 economic stimulus package, scammers were already working to deceive Coloradans and take advantage of those eagerly awaiting federal relief,” Weiser said in a news release. “It’s important to remember that the federal government hasn’t issued a single stimulus check yet, and will not call you on the phone to ask for sensitive personal information. Anyone who calls claiming to be able to send money now — and asks for your personal information — is a scammer.”

Following are some ways to protect yourself from government check scams: * Don’t respond to texts and emails about checks from the government.

The details are still being finalized.

CENSUS FROM PAGE 6

Since 1790, the census has determined the number of seats a state receives in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“There’s a lot of speculation that the state of Colorado is going to get an additional congressional district,” Thomas said.

Tighe said an accurate census count translates to an appropriate level of representation in Congress for the state and creates “a fair playing field around the country” if the nationwide count is

Anyone who tells you they can get you the money now is a scammer. * Don’t click on links from sources you don’t know. They could download viruses onto your computer or device. * The government will not ask you to pay anything up front to get this money. * The government will not call to ask for your Social Security number, bank account, or credit card number.

Most Americans will receive up to $1,200 per person in coming weeks, as part of a historic $2 trillion stimulus package that was signed March 27.

Parents will receive up to $500 for each child under age 17.

Those eligible for a payment will receive a payment directly from the IRS. The IRS specifies on its website that no sign-up is required, and there is no need to call. The agency will post additional information, when it’s available, at www.irs.gov/coronavirus.

If you notice any scams, fraud, price gouging, or other attempts to take advantage of Coloradans during this public health emergency, contact Stop Fraud Colorado at 800-222-4444 or StopFraudColorado.gov. accurate.

Under the adjusted census timeline, bureau experts will assess and deliver each state’s population total, which determines its number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, to the president by April 30, 2021.

The president delivers apportionment counts to congress within 14 days.

Redistricting counts are then to be delivered to states by July 31, 2021.

Completing the census takes minutes, Thomas said, estimating she finished in less than five minutes.

“It’s really straightforward,” she said.

“There’s no trick questions. It’s easy to answer.”

“We have never faced a pandemic like this, and that means tremendous uncertainty in trying to predict (longer range) outcomes from the crisis,” Kaufman said.

Although CDPHE did conduct an analysis of the air quality measures in response to media inquiries, Kaufman said predicting or modeling the long-term air quality impacts of the crisis is “not a current priority” at a time when CDPHE is focused on addressing the health aspects of the crisis.

Jason Clay, a spokesman for CPW, said heavy visitation to state parks and other popular natural areas seems to be leading some animals to avoid those areas. In contrast, many urban areas that animals typically avoid have become quieter and less heavily trafficked, which is leading some animals to visit or seek shelter in those locations.

Still, Clay said residents should not expect to see widespread changes in animal behavior, particularly if the crisis does not last too long.

“We are not necessarily predicting there is going to be major impacts because of this,” Clay said. “In general, wildlife are slow to adapt to big changes in human behavior.”

But there is one big change that Clay said he is expecting to see during the crisis — a sharp reduction in animal roadkill numbers. Those numbers are tracked by CPW but the organization has not yet released figures for the period since the COVID-19 crisis began.
