Castle Rock Police respond to reform law New phase Chief Cauley had already of social banned carotid holds distancing unveiled

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley speaks with Matt, a private citizen who brought three firearms to a June 2 protest, saying he feared violence and looting would follow.

Matt said he supported protesters who gathered to decry police brutality and racial injustice but wanted to deter violence.

JESSICA GIBBS

A sweeping police reform bill — now Colorado law — has spurred policy reviews in law enforcement agencies across the state. That includes the Castle Rock Police Department, which is aligning its use-of-force tactics with the new law and recently ended a yearslong policy permitting chokeholds.

Senate Bill 20-217 was signed by Gov. Jared Polis on June 19. The law aims to heighten law enforcement accountability in the wake of nationwide protests decrying systemic racism and police brutality.

The law now bans law enforcement officers from using chokeholds, both respiratory and carotid.

Carotid holds entail applying pressure to the sides of a person’s neck in an effort to stop blood flowing to the brain. When using respiratory holds, an officer would apply pressure to a person’s neck, throat or windpipe to make breathing difficult or impossible.

Life in Colorado has taken a big leap toward normalcy with new state rules to allow bars, theaters, and indoor and outdoor concerts to open again.

Large event venues are poised to open up, too — and even fairs and rodeos will return, along with receptions, which include wedding events, funerals, conferences and similar gatherings. Indoor malls, too, can now open statewide.

Highlands Ranch group donates 1,100 meals Unite2Uplift provided relief to families in need during pandemic

WAYS TO HELP Founder Sue Mehrotra asks residents interested in contributing to her organization to consider these options: - Donate food - Donate school supplies - Donate hygiene kits - Volunteer to teach students in a specialized, useful skill - Monetary donations are also accepted Details on these options are available at unite2uplift.org.

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During the COVID-19 stay-athome order, many families in metro Denver struggled to put food on the table either because of job loss, illness or just not being able to find items at the grocery stores.

That’s why Unite2Uplift, an organization based in Highlands Ranch, helped bring more than 1,100 uncooked meals to struggling families during the shutdown.

Founder Sue Mehrotra said the goal of the effort was to provide some relief to families in need.

“Our belief is that if they have limited resources, it will always help that they aren’t spending those resources on food,” she said. “They can use the limited resources on other needs like medications.”

Mehrotra, a Highlands Ranch resident, started the organization — formerly known as The Giving Hands of Colorado — in 2017.

Before the pandemic, the group helped students at alternative and Title 1 schools by providing them with school supplies and food. Title 1 schools are those that receive federal funding based on poverty rates.

Alternative schools are those that provide nontraditional curriculum or methods. Two of the schools who partner with the nonprofit are Eagle Academy in Lone Tree and Field Elementary in Littleton.

They also enter the schools with skilled professionals who give a lesson on their subject of expertise.

In the past, they’ve taught lessons on personal finance, photography,

mindfulness meditation, positive self-talk and resume writing.

“We basically started with a couple of us with a strong belief that the only way to empower marginalized communities is through education,” Mehrotra said.

The organization works with area social workers to develop lists of what items students are in need of and what barriers stand in their way.

During the COVID-19 stay-at-home order, many food banks experienced an increase in demand. In Douglas County, many reported a 400% surge in demand, according to a release from the county.

“Stores hardly had pasta, flour, everything,” Mehrotra said. “So we went from one store to another.

We got up early in the morning and shopped.”

Volunteers went out and bought pantry staples like rice, chickpeas, cereal, canned vegetables, pasta and pasta sauce. About eight other volunteers then filled food bags with some of each of these items and handed out to families in need.

Sometimes, they also included hygiene items such as toilet paper.

While food was often dropped off and shipped to Mehrotra’s home, she and other volunteers gave out the food in the parking lots of their partner schools.

Sue Mehrotra helps distribute food bags during the state’s COVID-19 shutdown at Field Elementary in Littleton on May 22.

COURTESY PHOTOS As she handed out the bags of food, Mehrotra heard many comments of thanks from the families.

Some people explained the position they were in with comments like “every meal is a stress now,” and “I need this for my family.”

The demand for food has decreased as the state has begun to return to normal, but Mehrotra and her team are still working to help those struggling.

“We can still do it,” she said.

“Because the volunteers are pretty energized now.”

Ex-Broncos player, Englewood restaurant owner dies Sturm founded The South Restaurant 50 years ago

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jerry Sturm, a former Denver Broncos player and owner of The South Restaurant in Englewood for half a century, died at age 83 on June 17.

Sturm, an Indiana native, was named by the Broncos last year as one of its top 100 players in franchise history. He played in 84 games for the team as an offensive lineman from 1961 to 1966.

Sturm opened The South Restaurant at 3535 S. Huron St. on May 1, 1970.

The cause of death was not discosed, but his wife Deborah Sturm, told Colorado Community Media in March that he was in memory care.

In a Facebook post, The South Restaurant said Sturm passed away peacefully with his family by his side.

“As you know, Jerry touched the souls of many, and in doing this, he has become respected and loved by an innumerable amount of people. This includes not only his immediate family and friends, but also his extended NFL family, his longtime golfing buddies and the community he helped cultivate at The South,” the post reads. “He will undoubtedly be deeply missed by all.”

source of income — prompting Sturm to open the Endzone, a bar along West Colfax. Working at the Endzone gave Sturm an appreciation for customer service and led to him opening up The South Restaurant, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

The South Restaurant used to be a small auto garage before other players and friends showed up to the site with hammers, nails and beers to help Sturm transform the garage to the Mexican and American restaurant it is today, Deborah said. She estimates that it took three years for the building to be remodeled.

“They built Cinderella City faster than Jerry could (The South Restaurant),” Deborah said. Cinderella City was a nearby shopping center that was opened in 1968 and demolished in the late 1990s. Today, the site is home to the Englewood Civic Center.

Sturm told the Houston Chronicle he was approached by a former teammate who offered him $10,000 to try to throw a Dec. 5, 1971 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers during his time with the Oilers. The Chronicle reported that the incident is one of only two “game fixing” schemes the NFL has ever publicly acknowledged.

“The guy and a gambler from L.A. offered me a bribe to snap the ball badly on extra points and field goals, and maybe blow a snap to the quarterback — stuff like that,” Sturm told the Houston Chronicle in 2004. “So I turned `em in. I was really shocked.

The guy was one of my best buddies when I played with him.”

Woody Paige, a sports columnist for The Gazette, met Sturm in 1974 at a golf tournament. Paige described Sturm as a gentle giant who loved go-

ing to Broncos games and playing golf with former players like John Elway.

“The one person that hung out at (The South Restaurant) all the time was John Elway. That is one of Elway’s favorite secret restaurants, and he hung out with (Sturm) a lot,” said Paige.

The South Restaurant said in its post that it will share details about a memorial honoring Sturm in the future.

“He was like family. We’re all really struggling with the loss of (Sturm),” said Michelle Look, bar manager at The South Restaurant. “Everyone loved him so much. He was the greatest man I’ve ever known.”

Colorado spared more budget cuts for now But an additional $1 billion in reductions looms on 2021 horizon

BY JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

No further budget cuts are immediately necessary as an economic forecast from the Polis administration shows a series of tax changes approved by Colorado lawmakers generated enough revenue to preserve the state’s slim budget cushion.

Gov. Jared Polis’ office says a new economic forecast shows that tax revenue will allow the state to carry a reserve slightly above the $300 million required for next fiscal year’s $30.3 billion state budget, but warned that Colorado’s finances remain tenuous.

If tax revenue drops by half, state law forces the governor to slash spending, which historically takes the form of state employee furloughs or pay cuts.

“The minimal reserve requires very careful management,” said Lauren Larson, the governor’s budget director. “A small reduction in our forecast could require midyear (budget cuts).

We will be watching that closely.”

The new numbers provided a glimmer of optimism in an otherwise dismal budget year in which lawmakers spent $1.4 billion in discretionary dol-

The state’s economy is beginning to rebound, but the depth of the current recession means there is more financial hardship for the state ahead.

Many of the dollars Colorado lawmakers used to balance the budget this session were one-time tools, and new estimates from legislative economists

suggest they will need to find about $1 billion in cuts or new revenue to maintain spending next year.

“We are not out of the woods yet,” Sen. Dominick Moreno, a Democratic budget writer from Commerce City, said. “COVID-19 remains a real threat to our communities and the economic impacts of the shutdown will have dire consequences for years to come.”

Looking ahead to the fiscal year that starts July 1, 2021, the Polis administration is asking state agencies to cut their budgets for the new fiscal year

by 10% — on top of the 10% or more they cut for the coming year’s budget.

The administration is hoping for more federal dollars to blunt the impact.

“It’s drastic and dire,” Larson said of the additional anticipated cuts.

“And I hope that the federal stimulus funds come through and we don’t need to actually end up proposing … such a large reduction. But because we don’t know where that’s going to end up, we need to have departments be planning accordingly.”

This year, lawmakers managed to spare more cuts with legislation at the end of the session to repeal a handful of tax breaks approved in the federal stimulus bill that applied at the state level. The move generated $180 million in additional revenue for the state.

The CARES Act also allowed taxpayers to file amended returns from prior years to deduct additional business losses. But in early June, the state Department of Revenue approved a little-noticed emergency rules to disallow amended state returns because it could result in potential revenue deficits in prior years. The change means the state can keep a projected $185 million in tax revenue it otherwise would have returned.

NEW PHASE FROM PAGE 1

Those are all updates to the state’s safer-at-home social distancing order, in effect as of June 18.

Meanwhile, Gov. Jared Polis unveiled the framework for Colorado’s third social distancing phase — the stay-athome and safer-at-home orders were the first two — called the “protect our neighbors” phase. That’s where parts of the state with low enough COVID-19 spread can permit “all activities” at 50% of pre-pandemic capacity with up to 500 people in one setting, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

That new phase could go into effect in its first counties by the end of June or early July, Polis said at a June 15 news conference.

Colorado announced these changes even as Polis acknowledged that the state’s falling rate of new COVID-19 cases doesn’t mean Coloradans are out of the woods as far as the pandemic is concerned.

“We can’t let the good news so far give us any kind of false sense of security. We know things are going to get more challenging,” Polis said, pointing to a likely “second wave” of the virus’ spread in the fall, according to the state’s modeling.

On top of that, flu season’s overlap with the pandemic is expected to impact hospital bed capacity, the governor added.

Still, the governor moved ahead with the cautiously optimistic tone and reliance on public buy-in that have been the hallmark of his response to the pandemic, applauding Coloradans for the “great job” they’ve done bringing down the state’s spread of COVID-19.

“This is not a function of what the government is saying or doing. It’s not a function of what your local county health (agency) is doing,” Polis said. “What it is a function of is your responsible decisions you make every day, and by and large, the proof is in the pudding: Coloradans have been following the sound guidance of health officials in large numbers, wearing masks in public, staying 6 feet from others — and that is why we’re here with good news instead of bad news.”

He added that continued success depends on “our behavior as individuals to be responsible, save lives, protect

June 25, 2020J our economy, protect our freedoms.”

As with a previous round of updates to the safer-at-home order, Coloradans were able to give feedback online before they went into effect. The public can view the specific guidance at covid19.colorado.gov/safer-at-home.

Here’s a look at the latest big changes.

Safer-at-home update on indoors Colorado will see indoor events, receptions, theaters, concerts, malls, markets, “noncritical” auctions and trade shows open again, according to the new state public-health department guidelines.

That includes theaters for performances and movies, according to the state public-health department.

Along with social distancing guidelines such as requesting attendees to wear face coverings, crowd sizes are limited based on venue size.

Indoor venues can allow up to 100 people, excluding staff, per room with a minimum of 6 feet between individuals or non-household contacts. A venue’s crowd size can be determined with the state’s “Social Distancing Space Calculator” at tinyurl.com/ ColoradoSpaceCalculator.

Organizers should implement symptom monitoring — such as temperature monitoring and symptom-screening questions — where possible, as well as consider screening attendees for symptoms or exposures, the state’s guidance says.

Update for outdoors Outdoor events, receptions, fairs, rodeos, concerts and “noncritical” auctions can operate according to a similar formula.

Outdoor venues may allow up to 175 people based on the state’s Social Distancing Space Calculator — excluding staff — per designated activity with a minimum of 6 feet between individuals or non-household contacts.

Venues with multiple activities or events that are separated, such as a fair with activities in separate buildings or arenas, can hold the maximum capacity in each setting. Those venues would have to implement precautions — such as one-way traffic — as attendees move from one activity to the next.

Overnight youth camps also can open with 6-foot distancing and a maximum group size of 25 campers outdoors or 10 campers indoors.

The outdoor guidance does not ap-

COLORADO EVENTS SECTOR OPENS UP Gov. Jared Polis noted that some events and establishments — such as conferences, museums and receptions — already could open or be held before the latest update to the safer-at-home order.

Technically, those were allowed to open for up to 10 people at a time under the last amendment to the order, which allowed anything that wasn’t specifically called out as closed to open under the 10-person limit, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

But the new rules expand crowd sizes much closer to normal. ply to activities already covered under guidelines for restaurants, houses of worship, or personal or outdoor recreation.

Polis nodded to the risk of attending these events, though, saying: “To be clear, there is risk in any activity” and that some Coloradans will choose not to attend even though restrictions are lifted.

Bars open, grooming expands Bars can open at 25% of the posted occupancy limit or 50 patrons, whichever is less. They can host more outdoors on patios, Polis added. That change took effect June 18 and also includes many other drinking establishments, such as breweries, distillery pubs and clubs.

Nightclubs with dance floors can open if they can comply with social distancing — but dancing may not be allowable because it may be difficult to maintain 6 feet from others, according to the state public-health department.

Some bars already were able to open along with restaurants as of May 27 — whether they could depended on whether the bar functioned as a restaurant with a full-service kitchen or provided food from a licensed retail food establishment, such as a neighboring restaurant or food truck, according to a state fact sheet.

“Extra large” restaurants can expand to up to 100 patrons indoors based on the state’s Social Distancing Space Calculator, the new rules say.

Personal services — such as salons — can now include facials, beard-trimming, lip-waxing and so on, according to Polis’ presentation.

‘Protect our neighbors’ The third phase of social distancing,

which the state initially mentioned earlier this spring, finally took shape as Polis announced that some parts of the state could allow “all activities to occur” at 50% capacity, with up to 500 people in one setting and at least 6 feet between non-household members.

Over time, that 50% threshold could even be increased if COVID-19’s spread doesn’t worsen in a region, Polis said.

“If the key message in March and April was we need to flatten the curve, now we have a new message: We need to exercise personal responsibility — wear masks in public, stay 6 feet apart from others, and support our local public health efforts to contain this epidemic so that we can continue to enjoy our freedoms,” fi Polis said. p The performance of local public w health agencies will be a determining a factor, the governor said. i Local public health agencies will 1 need to effectively issue restrictions G for sites or areas with COVID-19 n outbreaks — which could be a factory, w a school or a neighborhood — so it c doesn’t spur a countywide or stateJ wide problem, Polis said.

He added that health agencies also s need to be capable of implementing i isolation, quarantine and enforcement s n of public health orders in general, along with contact tracing — where t h public health workers notify people that they may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.

To enter the “protect our neighbors” phase, according to a draft framework, communities must meet scientifically established thresholds of: • Low disease-transmission levels.

• Local public health agency capacity for testing, contact tracing and outbreak response.

• Hospital ability to meet needs of all patients and handle the surge in demand for intensive hospital care.

A team of scientists that involves state leaders, academics, local public health directors and epidemiologists is developing measures to help understand how to move between the three social distancing phases, according to the draft framework. One of public health officials’ goals is to prevent having to return to a stay-at-home order — a possibility state officials have repeatedly acknowledged.

The “protect our neighbors” phase could be implemented in some counties by around early July, Polis said.

Ex-Englewood cop tied to Highlands Ranch sex-contact case The woman will spend 5 years on intensive supervised probation

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Englewood police officer will spend 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to sexual contact without consent in a Highlands Ranch incident, the office of 18th District Attorney George Brauchler announced.

Anna McCain, 24, was sentenced for the class 1 misdemeanor McCain June 9. She will also serve five years of intensive supervised probation for sexual offenders, according to a news release from the district attorney’s office. Other counts against her were dismissed as part of a plea

REFORM FROM PAGE 1

Until June 8, the Castle Rock Police Department’s use-of-force policy permitted carotid holds, but -only as a last means of restraining “a subject who demonstrates high levels of active aggression” and only when other forms of control were not feasible.

The policy banned respiratory holds except in situations where lethal force was justified.

Police Chief Jack Cauley said the department banned carotid holds on June 8 “due to the current events surrounding the perception of neck holds in general” and because the department’s officers rarely used

agreement.

The incident began when on March 14, 2019, a woman and several friends from the Englewood Police Department, including McCain, went to dinner and a club together, according to the release.

“Afterward, they went back to her home in Highlands Ranch,” according to the release.

After the other friends left, McCain repeatedly attempted to initiate sexual contact with the woman, who said no and “tried to fight her off,” according to the release. But McCain groped and kissed the victim, according to the release.

Several weeks later, the woman recognized that the behavior was an assault and she confided in a colleague.

McCain has since been fired from EPD, according to the release.

“Anyone who vows to uphold the law must be held to the same law,” Brauchler said in the release. “This makes at least 37 law enforcement officers our office has prosecuted since I was elected.”

chokeholds as it was.

Cauley said chokeholds were permissible under department policy throughout his tenure but he was not sure how long that policy was in place. The policy required officers to undergo annual training in order to use carotid or respiratory holds.

Cauley said the department is working with its legal adviser to review the new law and department policies “to ensure that we are in compliance with the state law.” He believed CRPD policy was largely in line with the bill already, he said.

“We regularly review our policies, however, we are certainly reviewing them now to ensure we’re in compliance with any aspects that are included in Senate Bill 217,” Cauley said.

these injustices before? As a society, we have taken some measures for civil rights, equity, and equality for all people. I did myself in the state Senate.

But if these incremental measures were enough, why are we still living with systems that are clearly harmful to the lives of people of color, particularly, black folks?

So what do we do now? As I started learning a few years ago, it’s not enough to be a white bystander any longer, not even solely a witness. Or an armchair quarterback who just spouts their opinion about events in the news.

If we are being silent, we are part of the problem. If there is systemic racism in our governments, businesses, and communities (which historians agree that our nation was founded on), we are all part of the problem. We are all complicit unless we are taking direct action to break down the unjust systems and rebuild fair and equitable systems that our Constitution allegedly

Rounding out our wheel of life

couple of weeks ago I had written about the wheel of life and making sure that we try and find balance in all areas of life. The feedback from the community has been awesome and a lot of fun as I had a chance to engage with many of you. And in 100% of the conversations, everyone I spoke WINNING with had a wheel that WORDS was either not quite round, or in many cases their wheel looked like a flat tire.

If you missed it, here was a part of the column where I shared how to view your wheel of life.

Draw a circle, or at least imagine a circle. Michael Norton And in that circle, there is a hub with seven spokes. Go ahead and draw them in your circle so they look like the spokes of a wheel. Label each of the seven spokes: Family, Personal, Mental, Spiritual, Physical, Financial and Career. Now consider that the outside of your wheel, the farthest part from the hub, represents a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10.

I know my work will never be done and never be enough to reconcile all the harms caused by my white ancestors and my current complicity. But that doesn’t absolve me from doing my part. I can at least do what I can, which will hopefully make a difference in some people’s lives.

After making it through March without Madness and April without Opening Day, and accepting the cancellations of numerous games across a range of sports, I came to a Craig Marshall realization.

Not me.

I am proposing the elimination of all major college and professional sports. Keep college softball.

The players don’t take drugs or leave after one season. The coaches don’t make more than the GNP of some small countries, like Nick

Scandals are increasing. The Astros steal signs, legacies are being ruined by performance-enhancing drugs, salaries are ridiculous, and I can’t escape the Broncos even when they haven’t played a game in six months.

“One and done” has ruined college basketball. Thanks, Kentucky.

I have followed my team to a dozen states, stayed by the radio late at night to hear games that weren’t being televised, and was found, slumped and weeping, when Tyus Edney dribbled the length of the floor in 4.8 seconds in 1995.

And scored the winning basket.

I can watch that game and hundreds — thousands — of others on cable or on my computer the same way that I can watch hundreds of my favorite films over and over.

In other words, there are already enough great games in the library to last from now until eternity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Salute to strong teen Patrick Boland, your story left me in awe and quite humbled by your strength in coping with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, CRPS (the story: “Highlands Ranch teen’s a `Ferocious Fighter’”). I imagine the depth from which you draw courage and perseverance to just take a step forward each day is greater than most people could muster under lesser circumstances. Your youth simply magnifies the bravery you exhibit as you carry a burden much too heavy for someone so young.

Your compassion for others afflicted with CRPS and its variations that prompted you to establish the d nonprofit Ferocious Fighters is further evidence of the magnitude of your personal power. Bravo to you and your family for serving as a role model for others while you stand tall and strong every day to live your life to the fullest.

Thank you for teaching me a little about this disease and for sharing your story. I’m a better person just having learned about you and about the struggles people like you must endure each day.

The spirit of selfless service that staff have offered in a tireless and reliable manner makes them our heroes. In addition to meals and mail being delivered daily to our doors, we had a complimentary concierge program that provided toiletries and other conveniences. Exercise classes on closed TV, visual happy hours with Wind Crest provided wine and cheese, Mother’s Day flowers and candy and many other surprises have kept residents engaged during this time.

grow and improve. Including me, my wheel is still not quite as round as I would like it to be.

When we do recognize where we would like to make an improvement in our life, we can connect that to the goals and dreams that we are pursuing. And if we identify an area of our life that is holding us back from the achievement of our goals and dreams, we can draw upon that as our motivation to make those improvements.

This is the right time to evaluate our performance in each area of life because of the ever-changing world that we are living in, however the truth is that this wheel of life philosophy is a tried and true, proven strategy for achieving success in any season of life, especially in the sea changes of life that we are living through right now.

Now maybe you just read the previous column and didn’t give it a shot, or you are reading this one right now and just cruised past the idea of actually identifying where you are personally on the wheel of life. Either way, I would encourage you to at least give it a try and to let me know what you find, as you may just find out how to use your wheel to get you on your way to where you really want to go.

And when you do complete it, I really would love to hear how you are planning to round out your wheel of life at mnorton@tramazing.com. If you need a little help with figuring it out, let me know that as well. And when we do improve a little bit in each area of life, it really will be a better than good week.

Metro area shelters say they have fewer available animals than previous years

BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

ay 26 marked the first day that the Denver Animal Shelter reopened its animal adoptions after more than two months of suspending the process during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. That day, hundreds of customers showed up interested in adopting a new pet, said Tracy Koss, the shelter’s customer care manager.

“Part of it was that it was the first day and part of it was that we had two popular dog breeds available,” Koss said of the large number of customers.

“The very next day, it was very light traffic and has remained that way due to the lack of animals; we only have three to five (available for adoption) per day,” she said, while on average, the shelter can have anywhere from 75 to 100 animals available for adoption at one time.

“In times of turmoil or uncertainty, people tend to hold onto their animals,” she said, “so I think we could be seeing that here.”

Nationwide and across the Denver metro area, animal shelters have seen a decrease in the number of people surrendering their animals to shelters, even as many shelters have stayed open for surrenders throughout the pandemic. At the same time, the percentage of available animals that have been adopted has increased.

At cat shelter Angels with Paws in Lakewood, in a usual week, the shelter oversees one or two adoptions, said kennel technician Rachel Jones. But from March 1 through June 17, there were 76 cats adopted from the shelter, or an average of about five adoptions per week.

“We’ve seen a huge jump in adoptions,” Jones said, “and we actually

A staff member at the Dumb Friends League takes a photo with an adoptable pet, Indiana, during the COVID-19 crisis.

COURTESY OF DUMB FRIENDS LEAGUE saw a big jump in adoption of our less adoptable animals with special needs.”

According to the Shelter Animals Count database, shelters took in 912,143 animals from January to May 2019.

Only 691,760 were taken in during the same period for 2020. The count receives data from 1,207 organizations nationwide.

For the same timeframes, the number of adopted animals has also decreased. However, the percentage of available animals that were adopted increased from about 51% in 2019 to about 58% in 2020.

“For the past several months, adoption numbers have started to decrease, but as a percentage of intake they remain very high,” said Jim Tedford, president and CEO of the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement. The association is made up of leaders running shelters and rescue groups across the nation.

These trends have been a necessity for shelters, Koss said — especially

“It could have been a really scary situation with a lot of animals coming in. We were prepared for that and never saw it,” Koss said. “We just really want to thank the Denver community.

They kept their animals.”

As for why intake is down and a higher percentage of available animals are being adopted, some shelter employees and new pet-owners point to the pandemic.

Frank Carlson from Aurora was one of those who adopted a Denver pet on May 26, saying that as a single person, he had been feeling isolated, particularly after being laid off from his job because of COVID-19. Carlson’s eleven-month-old Australian cattle dog, Tom Brady, is the first dog he’s owned in 30 years.

“It was either a dog or a girlfriend, so I picked a dog,” he laughed. “Mainly, I wanted the exercise because I was just hanging around, and the companionship as well.”

Many recent animal adopters who found a new pet at the Dumb Friends League, which has locations in Denver and Castle Rock, have given similar reasons to Carlson’s for why they wanted to adopt, said Maia Brusseau, the league’s interim director of marketing and communications.

“I know that we have heard from some people that they were thinking of adopting anyway, and then all of a sudden, they have this extra time on their hands,” she said. “And for some, if you’re living alone, it can be very lonely without a pet.”

The Dumb Friends League has only been conducting virtual adoptions to help keep residents safe throughout the pandemic. The process takes more time to complete than the typical process, she said, and the league has encountered huge public interest in adoptions. As such, the shelters have been asking those who would like to adopt to expect a slightly longer wait before their adoption can take place.

Another request of adopting residents: “We’re asking people to think SEE ANIMALS, P11

Craft and Home Improvement Fair on horizon Western Welcome Week event is beacon of fun for late summer

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As events sort themselves out as “happening” or “canceled,” the 92nd Western Welcome Week will still fill Main Street in downtown Littleton with the Craft and Home Improvement Fair on Saturday, Aug. 15.

WWW organizer Cindy Hathaway says there are some booth spaces available at this point, but many are filled. She is at the office in the historic Bemis House on Tuesdays, and there is online information.

Families can enjoy food as well as colorful artwork as they stroll — distanced from those ahead.

Among the vendors will be local craftsman Jake Miller, who lives in Ken Caryl, with his Two Ravens Soap Company, offering subtly shaded bars of handmade soaps, designed to appeal to men and women.

He has participated in the event for five or six years.

He “came out of the coffee business — also sensory-driven,” with detours through craft beers and Yankee Candles, arriving at this series of fragrant miniature artworks.

Hundreds gather for Black Lives Matter walk in Littleton ‘I’ve experienced racism in Littleton,’ says speaker

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

t first, Littleton’s June 18 Black Lives Matter solidarity march was hard to find: A few people huddled under a picnic shelter at Sterne Park, getting out of the rain as storm clouds loomed.

But as the minutes ticked by, the crowd swelled. Soon the park was filled with hundreds of people -- young and old, men and women, many ethnicities. Organizer Lauren Acres called out some ground rules: Don’t litter, don’t harass drivers, wear a face mask. Keep it peaceful.

By the time the walk set off on a winding route to the nearby courthouse, escorted by Littleton Police officers, the crowd stretched for blocks.

Among them were numerous members of Littleton City Council and the Littleton school board.

Many participants thrust their fists in the air as the crowd broke into chants, listing the names of Black men and women killed at the hands of police. Names like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Elijah McClain.

Others carried signs calling for racial justice: “If you’re not livid, you are not listening.”

“No one is free until we all are.”

“No justice, no peace.”

“Black lives matter.”

Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens stood at the head of the roadblock as the march crossed Main Street, waving and smiling at marchers, many of whom called out “thank you” to Stephens and his fellow officers.

Before long, the massive crowd covered the lawn of the Littleton Municipal Courthouse, as passing drivers honked their support.

As stragglers packed in, activist Maya Walker took to a loudspeaker.

“I’ve experienced racism in Littleton,” said Walker, who is Black. “I’ve experienced racism from the nicest people. ... I’ve been pulled over on my

Let’s examine our schools.”

Littleton’s solidarity march followed hundreds of protests and rallies around the country over the past month, begun after the May 25 killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. Activists have rallied in Colorado towns as far flung as Craig and Sterling, and Gov. Jared Polis signed a sweeping police reform bill spurred by the movement on June 19.

“What’s next?” said Larry Thompson Sr., a Black activist who sits on Littleton’s Next Generation Advisory Council and is vice president of Colorado Young Democrats. “I want to speak about reparations. Did that word make you cringe? If so, we’ve got work to do on you. Everybody has work to do. That’s OK.” Poet and activist Norma Johnson read an excerpt from her poem “I Didn’t Tell You,” about the insidious nature of casual racism that often flies under the radar.

“I didn’t tell you about being followed in the store, and how I obediently kept my hands and bag in plain sight,” Johnson said. “I didn’t tell you

about the white woman I passed at twilight in the park who tensed her body, tightened the grip on her purse, and walked a large curved detour around me. ... We are virtual worlds apart. You can think of yourself as multi-ethnically expansive because you have a black friend. I, meanwhile, just still stay black.”

Stephens, the police chief, said he saw in the march and rally a call for justice and a message of hope.

“This is an opportunity for the community to come together and support positive change,” Stephens said. “I see a message of acceptance of all people.

What makes Littleton wonderful is you can have a peaceful event to get this message out.”

To Julia Montano, one of the event’s organizers, the march was a first step in a process of confronting the built-in injustices of a society constructed to benefit white people.

“I acknowledge my role in our current system,” said Montano, who is white. “My ancestors intentionally walked us into the system of injustice and inequality we live in now. We have to intentionally walk ourselves out.”

Bella Schelhaas, who will be a senior this fall at Arapahoe High School, said

Activist Maya Walker speaks to a crowd outside the Littleton Municipal Courthouse as part of the Black Lives Matter Solidarity Walk. being Black in the suburbs can be challenging.

“I’ve had racist comments directed at me,” Schelhaas said. “Sometimes I don’t feel safe.”

Schelhaas said she plans to start a Black Student Alliance at Arapahoe this fall.

“When I went to school administrators after someone made racist comments to me, I felt like they didn’t know what to do. I want to create a place for people to come and share those experiences in a more understanding environment. Today, this march was great. Seeing everyone who came out, I felt cared for.”

Local pitcher thrilled to be chosen by Rockies Case Williams played for Douglas County as right-handed hurler

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County High School pitcher Case Williams, who was drafted in the fourth round and 110th overall by the Colorado Rockies.

Case Williams claims the decision he faced wasn’t tough.

Williams, a Douglas County High School right-handed pitcher, was the fourth-round pick and the 110th overall selection by the Colorado Rockies on the second day of the Major League Baseball draft, June 11.

Williams was the first player from Douglas County to be selected in the draft since 2008, and he was forced to decide whether to attend Santa Clara University where he committed or to sign a professional contract with the Rockies.

“Some will say it was tough, but I really have a decision in mind,” Williams said after the draft. “I am definitely planning on signing. It’s tough, though, to let Santa Clara go, but I’ve been given the opportunity of a lifetime to make a dream come true, so it’s just right. I’m definitely going with the Rockies.”

PITCHER FROM PAGE 13

signed with the Rockies on June 17. No details were announced, but it was reported that he agreed to a $450,000 signing bonus.

Although he has signed, there is uncertainty ahead.

“Right now it’s pretty uncertain,” said Williams. “I haven’t got a full schedule yet from the Rockies. One, we don’t know truly what teams are left in the minors after being cut and whatnot and where they are being moved to, so it’s just kind of a waiting game.”

Minor League seasons have been canceled because of the pandemic.

There have been discussions about creating some kind of workouts for draft picks and team prospects already in the organization. And the Arizona Fall League could possibly have a team from each MLB organization or an extended instructional league could play games against other organizations.

Williams has become used to waiting, since that’s all he did last spring when high school baseball was never played because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I will never know was truly might have happened if we had played in the spring,” said Williams. “Not having thrown a pitch this year really makes me feel confident with my decision with the Rockies especially.

This season would have been really fun with the team we had. We had a chance to make a little run. But what happens, happens and you have to make the best of it.

“During the quarantine, I was able to get weights from where I usually work out. I was able to work out a couple hours a day and that really helped. I didn’t have anything else to do anyway. I worked out and did the videos.”

Williams, who was 8-1 with a 1.81 earned run average and 79 strikeouts for Douglas County as a junior in 2019, played last fall on the Rock-

Douglas County High School pitcher Case Williams.

ies Fall Scout team with director of scouting Marc Gustafson and director of scouting operations Sterling Monfort.

“With playing on the scout team in the fall, having Gustafson and Sterling be coaches of that team, the area code and videos helped,” he related.

“I was super grateful to be drafted.”

Williams’ fastball velocity has improved and he was clocked at 96 miles per hour but he’s still trying to become a more versatile pitcher.

“In the off season I was working on changeup and curveball,” Williams explained. “I was really able to develop the changeup by switching grips. I really got a feel for that. The curveball has always kind of been there. I started to build off what I already had.

It will be nice to put all three pitches together for my repertoire.”

Willams watched the MLB draft on TV with his dad, mom, sister and dog.

“Oh man, it was crazy. Being drafted by the hometown team was real special to me,” he said. “I really thank everybody through the process, especially the Rockies for giving me the opportunity to do so. I’m really excited and grateful for the opportunity. I just can’t wait to get after it.

“We got the call and were watching the draft on TV. I started to tear up along with my dad. It was super exciting. That’s the goal, to get to Coors Field one day.”
