Group says it will focus on November elections after vote for in-person learning

The man spearheading a recall of four Douglas County School Board members says he is suspending the effort after directors voted to send middle and high schools back to 100% in-person learning.

Road2Recall committee member Nate Ormond said the group will stop circulating petitions for the time being, although he’s willing to resume the effort if district schools don’t remain in full in-person learning for the entire fourth quarter.

“Just in case the board does an about face in the next two or three weeks,” he said March 3.

The group began circulating petitions in February to oust board President David Ray and directors Susan Meek, Elizabeth Hanson and Christina Ciancio-Schor. Among the recall group’s allegations were frustrations directors had not returned all students to 100% in-person learning.

Elementary schools began full in-person learning on Jan. 5 while middle and high schools started SEE RECALL, P10

Protecting the bluebird population in Castle Rock originally began with a Boy Scout wanting to earn his Eagle merit badge.

Now, it is a thriving program that continues to grow in volunteers and baby bluebirds each year.

Barbara Spagnuolo, Castle Rock’s natural resource specialist, said the scout originally placed 18 specially-built nest boxes throughout the community in 2007. Now, there are more than 190 boxes at 32 sites, including schools.

“The ongoing interest in this project is so encouraging,” Spagnuolo said. “People want to see and encourage bluebirds. When we think of bluebirds, we think of color. We think of spring.

Especially with the mountain bluebird.”

The Castle Rock program is part of the statewide Colorado Bluebird Project, which operates under the guidance of Denver Audubon. The overall mission is to improve the vitality of bluebird populations throughout Colorado and to inform and educate the public about the importance of bluebirds.

The project is important, Spagnuolo said, because bluebird populations have been impacted for a variety of reasons, including a decrease in natural nesting sites.

Castle Rock fire chief receives national recognition Norris Croom III honored with Ronny Jack Coleman Leadership Legacy Award

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After 35 years of service to the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department, Chief Norris Croom III said he was humbled to be selected as the 2021 recipient of the Ronny Jack Coleman Leadership Legacy.

In its 10th year, the annual award is presented by the Center for Public Safety and Excellence (CPSE) to individuals who are committed to elevating the fire and emergency services profession through mentoring, teaching, advocating and sharing outstanding contributions.

In the award announcement, CPSE said, “Chief Croom has always, and will continue, to be an advocate for the credentialing process within and beyond his own agency. He has institutionalized professional designations within the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department and continues to serve as a mentor within his own organization and to the Rocky Mountain Accreditation and Professional Credentialing Consortium.”

Croom, who had no idea he was being considered for the award, said he is even more honored to be a recipient because he was able to work with the firefighter the award is named after.

“I wish I had a fraction of the influence and vision (Coleman) has,” Croom said. “He is the ultimate leader.”

Coleman is a retired fire chief from California who devoted more than 55 years to serving, educating and leading firefighters.

Croom, who started with the Castle Rock fire department as a volunteer in 1986, said it has been a continued pleasure to serve the town over the years. Croom was promoted to fire chief in 2018.

Castle Rock Mayor Jason Gray said he has known Croom for more than 22 years, noting he is not sur-

prised to see him recognized on the national stage.

“He deserves it,” he said. “He is always accessible to me, to his employees. He’s been a stalwart in the industry and for us for a long time.

He has really worked his way up and that really shows his dedication to his job and to Castle Rock. Firefighters both young and old look up to him.”

Going beyond just the Castle Rock community, Croom has continued to serve on a variety of national and state programs aimed at improving education and services.

Croom was a beta test candidate for the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) designation. He served as a peer reviewer, which allowed him to become familiar with the process and ability to provide mentoring.

In 2011, he was appointed to serve on the Commission on Professional Credentialling (CPC) Board, a position he held through 2020. Through

The town is on a great path. It has definitely been an honor to serve the town, the community and the state.”

In looking at not just the award, but his career, Croom said he has to give credit where credit is due.

“I could not have done this without this department, this organization and my family,” he said. “I appreciate their dedication to me and my role in the community. This award is a reflection of the team we have.”

The award was officially presented to Croom last week during the CPSE annual conference. While the award is usually presented in a special ceremony, due to COVID restrictions, Croom accepted the honor virtually.

CPC, Croom provided insight and resources to be an advocate for professional credentialing.

Croom has also served as a board member for the International Association of Fire Chiefs EMS Section.

Croom said every board, every program he participates serves an important purpose.

“All of this over the years has given me the opportunity to learn and influence fire and EMS services,” he said. “My goal is always to leave something better off than I left it. It’s important to be engaged, be involved and make a difference.”

In Castle Rock, Croom said he has loved watching the town grow and be a part of that process. When he first became a volunteer firefighter, the town’s population was just over 7,000. Now, Croom said Castle Rock is exceeding 75,000.

“Every day is a new day,” he said, “and to grow with the town has been both interesting and challenging.

Board approves full, in-person learning for secondary students New schedule will take effect after spring break

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A plan to send Douglas County School District middle and high school students back to in-person learning, five days a week has received the stamp of approval from board directors, as well as support from principals and the local public health agency.

Douglas County School Board directors voted unanimously on March 2 to support interim Superintendent Corey Wise’s recommendation that secondary students launch 100% in-person learning on March 22, the start of DCSD’s fourth quarter.

“It’s time to get back,” Wise said.

Under the plan, the district will still require masks in its buildings.

Social distancing will take place wherever possible and targeted quarantines will continue, Wise said. Students can expect other changes. Classrooms will be fuller — some will have up to 30 students — and lunchrooms will be more crowded than in hybrid learning.

Elementary students began full, in-person learning on Jan. 5. Middle and high school students started the second semester with full remote learning until they began a “Hybrid 2.0” model in early February.

Board President David Ray said district leadership and staff have been planning for a full return to in-person learning for nearly a year, starting under former Superintendent Thomas Tucker before Wise took over.

Ray said district staff will continue working to answer lingering questions about conducting in-person learning during the pandemic.

“We know this is difficult, we know this is hard, we know that this is not a perfect solution,” Ray said.

School board Director Krista Holtzmann said staff have worked tirelessly to boost testing capabilities, implement new quarantine

protocols and get staff vaccinated “much quicker than any one of us could have anticipated.”

Director Elizabeth Hanson said the plan would not have garnered her support without knowing all staff that work directly with students have either been inoculated or have appointments.

Tri-County Health Department Executive Director John Douglas gave Wise’s recommendations his support, calling it a “thoughtful” approach.

“I think the plan that you all have outlined to me makes a lot of sense,” he said.

Douglas said masking and good ventilation will be key to lessening transmission of COVID-19 during full, in-person learning and encouraged taking class outdoors when weather permits.

Lunch time will likely be one of the riskiest settings during the school day, he said, as students sit in close quarters and remove masks to eat. He said sign-in sheets at lunchtime would help with targeted quarantines.

Douglas recommended students get tested often, particularly if displaying cold or other symptoms of illness. He described himself as a “big believer” in vaccinating against the virus down to the age vaccines have been tested in children, which he said is 16 or 18 depending on the vaccine.

Principals expressed everything from excitement to cautious optimism at the thought of going back full time.

Highlands Ranch High School Principal Chris Page said he is confident students will stay committed to following COVID-19 precautions once back full time. The task will be more challenging with all students in buildings and quarantines will be inevitable, he said, but schools will implement mitigation strategies as much as possible.

“Kids understand we’ve got to take some extra steps to make sure we’re not going to lose this opportunity,” he said.

Easter basket funding needed STAFF REPORT

In an effort to provide Easter baskets to children across the Denver metro area, Discovery Toys and A Precious Child have teamed up for the fifth year to collect donations and put together baskets.

Centennial resident Julie Olivett, a Discovery Toys team leader, said she continues to participate because A Precious Child is a great organization that continues to provide vital services to families in need in Colorado.

“I believe that a simple act of kindness can make a huge difference in a child’s day,” Olivett said. “The Easter Basket Drive is a perfect opportunity to put smiles on

hundreds of kids’ faces and that’s what I love to do. It’s a win-win.”

This year the goal is to distribute as many Easter Baskets as possible.

All children already being served

by A Precious Child will receive these baskets the week before Easter.

The suggested donation is $30 per basket and 100% of the donations collected are used to create baskets.

Baskets are filled with candy, a chocolate bunny, Easter eggs, toys, books, games, and toothbrush/ toothpaste.

Donations will be accepted through March 25. To donate, visit the website at https://apreciouschild.org/donate/, or call (303)4664272 ext. 114.

Council approves contracts for 2021 pavement maintenance program

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock Town Council approved several contracts to proceed with the 2021 $11.5 million Pavement Maintenance Program during its March 2 meeting.

Public Works Director Dan Sailor said bids for the various projects that fall under the PMP plan were lower than expected, giving the town a surplus of more than $340,000 to use for other town needs.

With council approval, the 2021 PMP plan will include 109 lane miles of slurry seal; 23 lane miles of mill and overlay; 4.5 miles of concrete restoration; and 1.5 miles of reconstruction.

The planned work will also include the removal and replacement of damaged concrete curbs, gutters and public sidewalks.

In 2021, the roadwork will focus primarily on northern Castle Rock, including neighborhoods in Cobblestone Ranch, Terrain, Castle Oaks, Sapphire Pointe, Diamond Ridge and Timber Canyon.

Sailor said public-works crews will also be working in the Metzler Ranch and Red Hawk neighborhoods to complete work deferred from last year.

Preventative maintenance is scheduled for First Street, Scott Boulevard, Promenade Parkway, Meadows Boulevard, Wolfensberger Road and Crystal Valley Parkway in 2021.

Funding for the annual PMP pro-

gram comes from the town’s transportation fund, which includes revenues from sales, motor vehicle and building-use taxes.

Information on the PMP program can be found at CRgov.com/PMP. Continuing road-construction discussions, Sailor also updated the council on the planned roundabout at Wilcox and South streets downtown. The nearly $2 million project is slated to begin in April, lasting through August.

Sailor said in reviewing the project, they looked at the cost to fully close the intersection during construction, and what the cost would be to do a partial closure. Sailor said fully closing the intersection during construction is cheaper and requires less time.

In a presentation to the council, Sailor showed fully shutting down the downtown intersection during construction would take an estimated 3.5 months, barring unforeseen weather, costing an estimated $1.8 million.

Partial closure would require more than five months of construction, costing more than $2 million.

Several councilmembers expressed concern over paying for the project, which is needed primarily due to the increased traffic that the 181,000-square-foot Encore mixed-use development, located just south of Town Hall, will bring to downtown. The project includes 124 condos.

“I think a million dollars of taxpayer money is absurd,” said

District 2 Councilmember Laura Cavey. “We need to do a better job of negotiating with builders.”

Town Manager David Corliss said Encore is paying the town nearly $1 million in impact fees, which includes funding toward the downtown quiet-zone project.

Corliss said the developer is also donating 308 spaces of public parking once Encore near Town Hall once construction is complete.

As the start date for the roundabout construction nears, Sailor said public works will begin public outreach to communicate road closures and identify detours. Some construction will be required on Phelps and Wilcox Drive to make it a designated detour route, Sailor said.

In other business, town council approved/discussed the following: A new water billing system Council approved the $410,000 purchase of a new customer billing and customer portal software system from Harris Computer NorthStar. The transition to the new system will take place in 2022. The system will provide mobile service orders for field technicians; added account setup options; and an expanded online customer portal, which includes real-time payments and additional payment options like PayPal, Venmo and Amazon Pay. Water well construction contracts In anticipation of drought con-

ditions this summer, Castle Rock Water is moving forward with the 2021 Denver Basin Well Rehabilitation and Pumping Equipment Replacement Project. Town council approved $1 million in construction contracts that will split the work among two contractors to expedite the project. Funding for the project comes from water rates and fees.

Amendment to the Promenade development The council approved the second reading of an ordinance amending the Promenade at Castle Rock’s development plan and agreement, which updates the plan for development for the area located in the center of the Promenade, near Sam’s Club. The amendment allows for a 300-unit multi-family residential area and an outdoor commons park. The agreement also transfers to the town ownership of 43 acres of undeveloped land on the east side of Interstate 25 at Castle Rock Parkway, which will be turned into designated open space.

Community grants The council approved three grants funded by the 2021 Council Community Grant Program. The program awards grants for community-based projects that contribute to the quality of life in the town.

Castle Rock Orchestra, Castle View Gridiron Club and Lady Trailblazers Inc. were each awarded $500, plus an additional $500 that will be split among the applicants.

Q&A with Castle Rock Water’s director Town provides rebates, education to conserve water resources

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

&

The News-Press turned to Castle Rock Water Director Mark Marlowe to answer questions regarding the ongoing water-rebate program and the town’s continued efforts to take water-conservation

QA

measures that will preserve water this year and for decades to come.

How important is water conservation as a team/community effort?

Water conservation for the Town of Castle Rock is important on two fronts. First, given that we live in a semi-arid, high desert climate and don’t live near a major water source, efficiently managing this most precious resource is necessary to have a strong water supply now and in the future. It is also an economic one.

The less we, as a community, use now, the less we have to purchase in the future. For instance, with the goal of the entire community reduc-

ing use by 18% by 2055, which is about 20 gallons per day per household, we could see approximately $97 million in savings in capital investments in water in the future.

Put another way, if each resident saved one gallon of water per day, we would save 24 million gallons of water per year.

How long has the Town of Castle Rock participated in the Conservation Rebate Incentive Program?

Rebates for water-efficiency products were introduced in 2006 to Castle Rock with the initial Water Use Management Plan. Products available for rebates have changed

over the years to accommodate for new technologies, water-efficiency regulations and water saving needs.

What makes the program good for residents and the community?

There are behaviors and products that can help with water efficiency and Castle Rock Water provides education regarding changing behaviors and rebates for efficiency products and methods. There are rebates for: Rotary sprinkler nozzles Smart controllers ColoradoScape renovation SEE WATER, P6

WATER

to be more efficient can save water, and Castle Rock Water provides workshops to show our residents how. Slow-dispersing sprinklers, irrigation programmed for proper amounts of time, identifying leaks, and adjusting for overspray and runoff are primary areas that can save water.

Castle Rock Water has several tools to help customers be more efficient at CRconserve.com.

An allocated water budget is found on customer bills that is based on individual household water use and landscape size. Customers are incentivized through progressively higher rates to stay within that allocated budget.

FROM PAGE 5

Ultra-high-efficiency toilets Whole home water monitoring systems.

Incentivizing good behavior with water-efficiency practices and rebated products is more productive than pointing out negative behavior. However, Castle Rock Water does issue violations for repeat water waste issues, and also has higher rates for excess consumption. These funds are what are used to provide the rebates.

What is considered high-water-use landscaping? What types of behaviors are commonly considered high-wateruse?

High-water-use landscaping is based on the type of plant in the landscape. For instance, Kentucky bluegrass takes an average of 30 inches of supplemental water (beyond what rain and snow provide).

This is not conducive in a climate that only gets 10 to 15 inches of precipitation per year. It is much better to have a lawn turf that is adaptable to Colorado’s weather conditions, such as Texas hybrid.

Castle Rock Water provides a ColoradoScape renovation rebate to remove turf such as Kentucky bluegrass and replace it with lowwater or no-water use options. A plant list with plants that do well in Castle Rock can be found on CRconserve.com.

High-water-use behaviors, simply put, are those that waste water.

Mark Marlowe.

COURTESY PHOTO

In the landscape, water waste is water pooling or running off the lawn, sprinklers overspraying onto the sidewalks and streets and sprinklers being obstructed by fences and plants. Watering during the day, when temperatures and wind are high, can lose as much as 50% of irrigation water to evaporation. Frequent watering is also not conducive to conservation.

Frequent watering keeps roots shallow, which are more prone to evaporation and thus require more irrigation for a healthy plant.

What are some behaviors residents can use to conserve water?

In the Town of Castle Rock, we pour approximately 50% of all of our water on our yards and this is the easiest place to conserve. Simply adjusting irrigation practices

by Wings Over the Rockies Education team, a dedicated group of experienced educators and industry professionals.

With funding available on a first-come, first serve basis, how much in rebates will be given this year?

For 2021, there is $145,000 allocated to rebates. The bulk of these go to ColoradoScape renovations, which is the removal of high-water-use plant materials for lowwater or no-water use materials.

This is available to both residents and non-residential companies like homeowners associations. In 2020, a significant portion of our rebates were for the 66 toilets that were retrofitted with ultra-highefficiency ones (0.8 gallons per flush). In addition to the rebate, Castle Rock Water recycled the old toilets. We partnered with Colorado Springs Utilities who crushed the porcelain to be used for road base material.

When is the deadline to submit a rebate application?

Since rebates are provided on a first-come, first served basis, it is recommended to get rebates in as soon as possible. All ColoradoScape renovations are required to be completed prior to Sept. 30.

To qualify to apply for a rebate, residents will need to first take a Water Wiser workshop. These free classes have an online video and quiz along with a live webinar in which participants can ask specific questions of the conservation specialists. Registration is on CRconserve.com.

What about the town’s other water rebate programs and what citizens

can do to save water in regards to the Toilet Retrofit Incentive Program and the Water Use Management Plan?

Castle Rock Water provides rebates for indoor conservation, including an ultra-high-efficiency toilet only using 0.8 gallons per flush. Most toilets currently use 1.28 or more. Toilets are one of the largest users of indoor water (for instance, a toilet being flushed 6 times per day per person by four people will use 30 gallons of water). Castle Rock Water also provides a rebate for a whole-home water monitoring system which provides a way for the homeowner to see when and where they use the most water and learn where adjustments can easily be made.

A primary benefit of this system is that it can also identify leaks.

Approximately 10% of the entire population have leaks which is not only waste water but can cause extensive building damage if left unchecked. Castle Rock Water has also extended this program for the installation and replacement of toilets to our locally owned, smallbusiness food and beverage establishments.

How much water is saved each year through the town’s water conservation efforts?

In 2006, Castle Rock Water put into place our Water Use Management Plan. At that time, customers were using, on an annual average, 135 gallons per person per day. Our goal is to be down to 100 gallons per person per day by 2050. We are currently at about 115. This number, however, can fluctuate depending if we have a dry and hot summer. With 50% of water use going to outdoor use, this is highly susceptible to weather changes.

While it is a combination of rebates, education, tools and products that help with conservation, one measure that produced 20% conservation immediately was the watering schedule. The everythird-day watering schedule, in place May 1 through Sept. 30, was started back in 1985. It is primarily a demand management tool, ensuring everyone is not drawing on the water supply at the same time, however, it produced 20% water savings within the first year.

Grocery workers, Coloradans 60-plus now up for vaccine Ag workers, people with two or more high-risk conditions also prioritized

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In another fragmentation of Colorado’s long priority list for receiving a coronavirus vaccine, the state officially moved Coloradans ages 60 to 64 closer to the front of the line and placed grocery and agricultural workers as the next group of “frontline” employees to receive shots.

“I’m focused on ensuring that Coloradans who are at the most risk of COVID due to the environment they work in can receive the vaccine so we can save more lives and end this pandemic,” Gov. Jared Polis said in a Feb. 26 news release.

Soon after, public health officials highlighted the arrival of federal authorization for a third vaccine, the shot made by Johnson & Johnson — also known as the Janssen vaccine.

That’s in addition to the previously approved Pfizer and Moderna shots.

“They were developed in record time,” John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, said during a March 4 virtual town hall on vaccines in Colorado.

He added: “There have been some concerns by some people of, ‘Oh, that’s too fast. I’m not sure I really trust those vaccines.’”

Douglas, who leads the public health department that covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, emphasized to callers that the vaccine development process was safe.

Despite the speed, vaccines for COVID-19 “went through the same layers of review and testing as other vaccines,” an article by the University of Maryland Medical System says. “Due to the dire nature of the pandemic, certain barriers to development, related to funding and manufacturing, were removed.”

In Colorado, a new set of demographics reached their turn to receive shots on March 5, but people in the previous phases — such as Coloradans 70 and up — remain eligible and will still be prioritized, according to Tri-County Health.

Here’s a look at how the state’s vaccine schedule changed and some highlights from Tri-County Health’s town hall event on vaccines.

Changes leading up to now After Colorado received its first shipments of a COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 14 and health-care centers began giving shots to health-care workers — part of the state’s first phase of vaccinations — the governor announced that starting Dec. 30, people 70 and older were eligible for the vaccine.

By early January, some hospitals and other health care providers in the Tri-County jurisdiction began “phase 1B,” a stage that included people 70 and older and some healthcare workers and first responders.

COLORADO’S UPDATED SCHEDULE For information on signing up for a vaccine appointment, visit the state’s page at cocovidvaccine.org or call 1-877CO VAX CO (1-877-268-2926). The line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and answers are available in multiple languages.

For information in the Tri-County Health Department area — Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — visit tchd.org/866/COVID-19-Vaccine.

The state’s updated schedule as of Feb. 26 is as follows: Phase 1A, winter: Highest-risk health care workers and staff and residents at long-term care facilities such as nursing homes.

Phase 1B.1, winter: Coloradans age 70-plus, and moderate-risk health care workers and first responders.

Phase 1B.2, winter: Coloradans age 65 to 69, pre-K through 12 school workers, workers in licensed child-care programs and some state government officials.

Phase 1B.3, winter: People age 60 to 64, frontline agricultural and grocery store workers, and people age 16 to 59 with two or more high-risk conditions.

Phase 1B.4, spring: People age 50 and older, other frontline workers, people with high-risk conditions, other state government workers and some local government officials.

Phase 2, likely late spring or summer: General public.

On Jan. 29, Colorado had again updated its vaccine schedule, rebranding that stage as phase 1B.1 and laying out a 1B.2 and a 1B.3.

Phase 1B.2 kicked off on Feb. 8 and included Coloradans age 65 to 69 and school workers for grades pre-K through 12, among other groups.

At the time, the next step, 1B.3, was expected to include “frontline essential” workers in general, along with people age 16 to 64 with two or more high-risk health conditions.

Polis had announced that close to March 5, those groups would likely be eligible.

It was “also projected that Coloradans ages 60 and up will also be able to start receiving the vaccine around March 5,” a governor’s office news release said on Jan. 29.

Grocery, agriculture, 60-plus Now, the newly updated schedule for phase 1B.3 officially includes people age 60 to 64 and specifies agricultural and grocery store employees as the frontline workers with new priority. The phase includes people age 16 to 59 with two or more high-risk conditions. The change was dated Feb. 26.

See the chart about halfway down the page at covid19.colorado.gov/ vaccine for a list of high-risk conditions. Phase 1B3 began as expected, time-wise, March 5.

New phase up next The latest schedule added a phase 1B.4, expected to start in late March, that includes people age 50 and older — giving those Coloradans earlier priority than before — along with other frontline workers and people

ages 16 to 49 with one higher-risk condition.

That includes frontline workers in the following fields: higher education staff in community colleges and colleges, food and restaurant services, manufacturing, the U.S. Postal Service, public transit and other transportation, governmental public health agencies, human services, faith leaders, direct care providers for Coloradans experiencing homelessness, and frontline journalists.

The phase somewhat mirrored the previously planned phase 2, which was set to begin in spring for Coloradans ages 60 to 64 and people with one high-risk condition.

Allergic reactions The newly authorized third vaccine is also known as the Janssen vaccine due to its manufacturer, Janssen Biotech Inc., which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s website lists as “a Janssen Pharmaceutical Company of Johnson & Johnson.”

Aiming to calm fears about the vaccines, Douglas, the local health chief, told callers on the March 4 town hall event that few severe allergic reactions have occurred in response to the vaccine.

“Less than 1 in 200,000 will have an allergic reaction to this,” Douglas said. “That’s the reason when you get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, you’re advised to be under observation” for a short period of time.

Early safety monitoring of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine detected 10 cases of anaphylaxis — a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction — after the reported administration of about 4 million first doses, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Variants and vaccines With some concerning variants of the virus circulating — such as the more-contagious variant from the United Kingdom — Douglas said current vaccines are expected to still offer protection.

“At least at this point, we don’t have any strains of COVID circulating in the U.S. that we think your Pfizer vaccine wouldn’t take good care of,” Douglas said.

He added: “Moderna and Pfizer are both developing vaccines to deal with some of the variant strains that have been identified, and they’re probably the farthest ahead” in the case that variants begin to pose a large problem to current vaccines.

Early investigations suggest the current vaccines, as well as Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine, may be somewhat less effective against some of the new variants in terms of preventing all symptoms. But even against variants, the vaccines do prevent a lot of mild and moderate cases, the data gathered so far suggest, and are very effective, health officials say, against preventing severe cases, hospitalizations and deaths, National Public Radio reported in early February.

Last chance to refinance before mortgage rates rise?

With its record-low interest rates, 2020 was among the best years ever to refinance your mortgage.

That said, 2021 isn’t looking so bad either. While rates have risen, they are still relatively low, so there’s still time to act if you’ve not yet done so.

But just because you can refinance at today’s low rates, should you? Will you end up saving more than the refinancing fees will cost you?

If you plan to stay in your home for many more years, AND you can reduce your mortgage rate by at least 1% then, yes, it’s probably worth it to refinance.

Beyond that, it takes some math to decide, yes or no.

Many homeowners (and even some mortgage brokers) try to calculate their break-even point by dividing their expected decrease in monthly payments into their total refinancing fees. This is supposed to tell you how much longer you need to stay in the house, with the new mortgage, before refinancing pays off.

Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.

When you refinance, you also normally extend the length of time it takes to pay off your mortgage. Say you started with a 30-year mortgage 8 years ago, with 22 years to go. If you refinance into a new 30-year mortgage most of the monthly decrease comes from spreading the new payments over 30 years instead of 22 years, not from the lower interest rate.

So, in this example, a correct analysis would mean calculating your new mortgage payment over 22 years, not 30. This would give you an apples-to-apples comparison of monthly payments unaffected by the term extension. Then divide the difference into the fee total for a more accurate assessment of how long you have to stay in the house to break even.

Also, as you look over the paperwork, what are fees, and what are something else, like escrow payments? It’s not always clear. And that’s before I even cover additional details like Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), 15- vs. 30-year vs. adjustable rates, income tax implications, and more. Since I’m out of space here, please reference our white paper “Managing Your Mortgage in Low-Rate Environments” at https://alliantwealth.com/ resources/whitepapers.html.

Many area businesses now in level blue under 5-Star rules Change comes due to state meeting mark of getting vaccine shots to 70% of those aged 70 and up

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s arrival at the milestone of getting COVID-19 vaccine shots to 70% of people ages 70 and older opened the door for some businesses in Denver metro counties to open up to larger crowds.

Under the state’s COVID-19 dial system — the set of restrictions counties must follow based on local virus spread — several Denver metro counties remain in yellow, the third least-restrictive level.

The 5-Star State Certification Program allows businesses to operate with expanded capacity if they follow stepped-up COVID-19 safety protocols, letting businesses follow restrictions that are one level lower on the dial than they otherwise would be able to without certification.

Counties across the metro area had been granted the ability to let businesses become 5-Star certified, but the state on Feb. 5 said 5-Star businesses in yellow counties could only operate at

level-blue restrictions “once 70% of 70-year-olds” in the state are vaccinated with at least one dose, which was expected to happen by the end of February, according to a state public-health department news release.

On March 2, Gov. Jared Polis announced that Colorado has met the goal of vaccinating 70% of all Coloradans aged 70 and above, according to an Arapahoe County news release.

The state’s COVID-19 website on March 3 listed Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas, Elbert and Weld as among the counties in yellow where 5-Star businesses can now operate in level blue restrictions.

Some counties in other areas hadn’t yet been listed as able to have businesses running in blue as of that afternoon.

“Counties participating in the 5 Star Certification Program can choose whether they want their certified 5 Star businesses to operate in the blue level,” said a spokesperson from the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department.

“We have asked eligible counties to confirm if their businesses will operate in the blue level but have not heard back from everyone yet.”

In level blue, restaurants indoors are allowed up to 50% capacity or 175 people (or up to 225 using the state’s social dis-

tancing space calculator), whichever is fewer. That’s up from 50% capacity or 50 people (or up to 150 using the calculator), whichever is fewer, in level yellow. Other businesses see capacity expand as well. See the calculator at covid19. colorado.gov/distancing-calculator.

See a full list of which restrictions apply to which levels on the dial by clicking “level restrictions” about halfway down the page at covid19.colorado.gov/ data/covid-19-dial-dashboard.

More counties close to Denver — including Jefferson, Park, Clear Creek and Broomfield — recently entered level blue, further loosening rules for restaurants and other businesses.

Uncertainty over 5-star relevance Under the “dial 2.0” changes to Colorado’s COVID-19 restrictions on Feb. 6, the state public-health department drastically eased the limits on incidence rates — rates of new cases — that allow counties to remain in certain levels of the dial. The arrival of the “dial 2.0” system had moved Denver metro counties down to level yellow from level orange.

The level a county qualifies for on the dial generally depends on the county’s rate of new cases, its percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive, and whether hospitalizations are increasing, stable or declining.

The dial restrictions apply to capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings.

The 5-Star program may soon be irrelevant in more metro counties if they’re able to entirely move to level blue — unless worsening virus trends cause a county to move back up to tighter levels. That’s because businesses with 5-Star certification may not operate in the next-lowest level below blue — level green, or “Protect Our Neighbors” — unless the county is

formally in that level. Level green is the least-restrictive level on the dial.

It’s unclear whether virus trends will allow more metro counties to move to blue soon.

Despite Broomfield and Jefferson counties moving to blue, their one-week rates of new cases as of March 1 appeared to have ticked up to levels that threaten to move the counties back to level yellow.

Loss of progress possible Although Denver metro counties sit close to qualifying for looser restrictions, trends in the state as a whole may be on a risky track if Coloradans start to have more in-person contacts and let their guard down on behaviors such as mask-wearing.

A key indicator to watch is the “effective reproduction number,” sometimes written “Re,” a measure of how rapidly COVID-19 infections are spreading. The reproduction number shows how many people each infected person will, on average, likely spread the virus to. If the number sits below 1, infections are decreasing.

Colorado’s recent estimate is 0.95, reflecting the virus’ spread in early February. That means the rate of new cases could soon start to increase again if the public isn’t cautious.

Coloradans appeared to be having more in-person contacts in early February compared to in January, according to a Feb. 24 report by the Colorado School of Public Health. On top of that, if the more-contagious COVID-19 variant from the United Kingdom spreads rapidly in Colorado, the state could see another peak in hospital demand, the report says.

As of late February, Colorado was not seeing rapid spread of concerning variants, according to the state public-health department. But the UK variant could begin to take firmer hold by midMarch, the report says.

BLUEBIRDS FROM PAGE 1

Spagnuolo said natural nesting cavities include old trees and wooden fence posts where woodpeckers create small crevices for the bluebird to take up housing. However, these options have been reduced over the years as development clears land and fencing is changed out for metal posts, she said.

Finally, Spagnuolo said one of the main causes of the decreasing bluebird populations is letting domestic housecats outside. Each year, Spagnuolo said an estimated one billion songbirds are lost to cats.

Currently, Spagnuolo said the Castle Rock program is gearing up for the 2021 season, which usually runs between April and August.

The start of egg-laying season for bluebirds, Spagnuolo said, may start later depending on late-season snow storms.

Spagnuolo said if bluebirds lay eggs early, it can result in the loss of a lot of baby birds. One season, she said a late storm resulted in the loss of more than 100 eggs.

Spagnuolo said the town relies heavily on volunteers each year.

The volunteers go through training before going out to monitor boxes.

They are taught what to look for, and it is stressed that they are never to handle the eggs or disturb the nesting birds.

The volunteers are also taught to identify the various bluebird species, and to understand the difference between a swallow and a blue-

bird. Spagnuolo said swallows have been known to take up residence in the nesting boxes.

Even if the nest, which is designed to fit the bluebird preferences, is taken up by a different bird species, volunteers do not mess with nature.

Spagnuolo said other birds are allowed to stay.

The nest box is specifically made to entice a bluebird. The box is essentially an artificial nesting cavity made of pine, redwood or cedar. The boxes are installed in late March, Spagnuolo said, before the bluebird population returns from winter migration.

Through the season, volunteers monitor when eggs are present, count how many actually hatch and after about three weeks, count how many babies leave the nest successfully.

“It is always such a joy to see (the bluebirds) using the next boxes that volunteers are monitoring and maintaining,” Spagnuolo said. “Seeing the bluebirds sitting on top of them is a good feeling.”

Spagnuolo said over the years, Castle Rock has had about 6,700 baby bluebirds successfully leave the nest boxes.

The community as a whole can get involved in the project. Spagnuolo said there are instructions on how to build a bluebird nest on the town’s website. She said residents are encouraged to put nests in their own yards to help increase the local bluebird population.

To volunteer, or get the plans to build a nest box, visit the website at www.crgov.com/2028/ColoradoBluebird-Project.

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity.

But many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. It’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact, with a government-insured HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payments are required; however, the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills, or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

RECALL FROM PAGE 1

this semester remotely. Secondary schools then launched hybrid learning in early February and are now slated to begin 100% in-person learning on March 22.

Hanson and Ciancio-Schor were not immediately available for comment.

Meek said she wants to focus on students moving forward and urged unity in the community.

“I’m pleased we can put the distraction behind us as a community.

Recalls have long-lasting negative impacts,” she said, “as they create division and anger.”

Meek said the recall effort never influenced her decision-making as a board director. She supported resuming in-person learning now because teachers have either received first doses of the vaccine or have had an opportunity to make appointments, she said.

Vaccinations were “a game changer” for secondary schools, she said.

While elementary schools enroll

IN PERSON FROM PAGE 3

Students who spoke during the meeting voiced both support for inperson learning and concern about the plan, particularly because the transition takes place immediately after spring break.

hundreds of students, high schools enroll thousands, she said, affecting how well they can follow pandemic protocols.

“The vaccinations are an additional mitigation factor that will help with the middle and high schools opening,” she said.

She has been critical of the recall group in the past, saying a special election would divert funds from classrooms needlessly when a general election is months away.

Ray said during directors’ March 2 meeting that district leadership has been planning for a full return since July and resuming 100% in-person learning has always been the goal of board directors.

As the district moved in and out of learning models this school year, directors and interim Superintendent Corey Wise have cited issues including health agency requirements for schools, substitute teacher shortages and fluctuations in the state of COVID-19 locally as factors influencing which learning model they implemented at a given time and at a given grade level.

Speaking to Colorado Community Media, Ray said he did not under-

stand why the recall effort launched, partly because of its proximity to a general election.

Ray said he voted for a full return to in-person learning during the board’s March 2 board meeting because of declining COVID-19 cases in the county, the availability of vaccinations for teachers and because Tri-County Health Department Executive Director John Douglas gave the plan his blessing.

Safety metrics have been the major factor influencing his votes on which learning models the district implements, he said.

“I know people are frustrated and want kids in school,” he said.

“Regardless of the recall effort, we would have come to the same conclusion (on March 2) that we did.”

In response to Ray’s board meeting comments, Ormond criticized directors for their pandemic handling in January, saying in-person learning was not “even on the table” at that time.

He has said all schools should have been able to safely offer in-person learning under state guidelines for students who prefer it.

Recall proponents had gathered

roughly 40% of the signatures needed to call a special election, Ormond said. If the group decides to pick the effort back up, Ormond said he’s confident they could gather enough signatures before the deadline for filing signed petitions.

Although some group members are disappointed in the recall effort’s suspension, others see it as a successful grassroots effort that pressured directors into implementing in-person learning, Ormond said.

Moving forward, the recall group is shifting its focus to the November election, when four seats are up on the board.

A key issue for the group, newly minted as the “Road2Recovery” committee, will be how well directors execute the district’s plan for COVID-19 recovery, Ormond said, and the performance of the district’s permanent superintendent, who will likely be named in May. “We’re not going to let up any pressure there,” he said. “From a high level, my vision is to get the Douglas County School District to be the No. 1 school district again in Colorado, like it was a few years ago when I moved here.”

District student Barret Mosley said in-person learning will allow students to get help from teachers who are in the same room, and that attention spans suffer during remote learning time.

“I think (in-person) is better for us and our mental sanity,” he said.

John Niedringhaus, who attends eighth grade at Sierra Middle School, predicted families will travel

during spring break, increasing their risk of exposure and potentially leading to a spike in quarantines early in the fourth quarter.

“This seems like a lot of added stress on everyone that could be avoided,” he said. “What is the real harm in waiting one to two weeks after break?”

Student advisory group member Emma Peters told directors the group organized a survey asking secondary students about their preference between full in-person and hybrid learning.

Among 1,100 middle school students, 63% preferred full in-person learning.

High school students were more divided, although a majority still approved of in-person learning. Of 2,800 high school students, 53% preferred in-person learning and 47% preferred hybrid.

A return to in-person learning has been a point of contention among the district community, helping lead to a recall effort aimed at four board directors — Ray, Hanson, Susan Meek and Christina Ciancio-Schor.

Nate Ormond, a member of the Road2Recall committee, said the group would suspend its recall effort if directors voted on March 2 to resume 100% in-person learning.

Nearby districts have recently contemplated or announced a switch to in-person learning as counties approached benchmarks for moving to Level Blue on the state’s COVID-19 dial.

As of March 2, Douglas County met two out of three requirements to move from Level Yellow to Level Blue, according to the state’s website.

Douglas County’s one-week average positive rate and hospitalization rate hovered in the Level Blue range, while the county’s one-week cumulative incidence rate remained at 140.8. Counties must show an incidence rate of 100 or fewer to be Level Blue.

Wise said logistically he believes the district can sustain 100% in-person learning and credited improving COVID-19 trends with moving plans along.

“It’s an adjustment but we’ll be ready,” he said.

VOICES

An hour this Sunday will be no time at all

oon it will be time to change our clocks again. Why? It’s a semi-annual nuisance that is debated and argued about semi-annually too.

Between times, it’s forgotten.

Daylight Saving Time was advanced QUIET

by Benjamin FrankDESPERATION lin in a 1784 essay titled “An Economical Project.”

The justifications for Daylight Saving Time are numerous and make tedious reading.

(Please do so on your own.)

Craig Marshall Arizona and HaSmith waii do not change clocks. Seven other states have approved legislation to follow them and are awaiting federal approval. The feds are taking their time about it.

Some of the American citizenry experiences mood shifts when clocks are changed, particularly in

the fall.

Changing clocks is somewhat less of a nuisance than it once was when all clocks had to be manually changed.

Teens: Ask your moms and dads.

Wait: Teenagers don’t read me.

Now many timepieces change on their own.

I have a $19.99 clock radio that knows when it’s time, as it were.

Fall back and spring ahead.

We spring on Sunday, March 14.

I haven’t changed my car’s clock since last November. Why? Because changing the time on my car’s clock takes either tiny fingers or a toothpick.

I knew someone who always had a toothpick in his mouth and wondered why. Dental care is important, of course, but it can be taken too far.

He’d have it in his mouth when we played touch football and touch basketball.

It was, I thought, a big risk to have a toothpick in his mouth, but I guess the coolness of it made it worthwhile.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Recall died, now fund schools As a public school teacher and Douglas County parent, I feel deep empathy for parents who have struggled with this unprecedented and enormously difficult year. I’ve resigned myself that I probably won’t change the minds of those who were adamantly on board with the (now rescinded) recall effort, but instead, I would like to ask this: If you care about the health and future of our public schools, I hope you’ll consider raising your voice and your vote with as much passion next time (and any time) a future ballot issue arises that will fund our public schools.

While anger and frustration are natural responses to the trauma we’ve endured as a collective society this year, recalling a school board seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to an impossible situation aggravated by years of neglect and underfunding of our public schools.

I lost track of him. Maybe he swallowed one and maybe he didn’t.

You can still see men — never women — with a toothpicks in their mouths if you watch old movies, especially ones with gangsters.

Gangsters, private investigators, and policemen always had toothpicks nearby.

“Crime Wave,” starring Sterling Hayden, is recommended. The language is pure, stilted pulp. Hayden’s character says, “I love to smoke cigarettes. But the doctors say I can’t have them.”

Then adds, “So what do I do? I chew toothpicks. Tons of them.”

Half the time, he wears a fedora sideways that looks like it’s kept under his pillow at night.

No one messes with him because he’s the size of a power forward.

Stick around for the final scene when he relapses and smokes a cigarette that has a dog leg to the left.

I thought it was a flub, but it’s likely the director wanted Hayden to be inelegant to the end.

It’s not a comedy but the “patter” might make you laugh a little if you’re not used to noir talk.

When Hayden made the film (1953) you didn’t need tiny fingers or a toothpick to change the car clock.

I don’t know where to get tiny fingers. A friend said she and her daughters rescued a baby squirrel and domesticated it.

“It even put itself to bed every night at 8:30 on the button.”

I didn’t ask if the little fellow made the necessary adjustments semi-annually, or if half the year he went to bed at 7:30.

With Daylight Saving Time right around the corner, I don’t have enough time to find and train a baby squirrel to change my car clock.

Nuts.

Maybe by November?

High country lesson: Balance creates perspective

“S

ome see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that is twice as big as it needs to be.” — George Carlin Isn’t that the way it seems these days? Sometimes we see the glass as half full, or half WINNING empty, depending on the day or WORDS our mood. And other times it is the people we are speaking with or the posts we read where others are overly optimistic about an event or situation while others only see the Michael Norton gloom or danger.

Fair and balanced is apparently in the eyes and the hands of the one holding the glass.

When we are out of balance, there is a good chance that our perspective can change. For those of us who enjoy skiing, we know what being off-balance feels like as it usually ends in a cloud of white and our gear splayed out across the mountain.

I love to ski, and I especially

love to ski the trees. A mountain I have spent more days on than any other mountain is Beaver Creek.

For more than 20 years I have enjoyed skiing there and have come to know the mountain like the back of my hand. My confidence on each run growing with each passing season. That included some of the best tree skiing that I have ever enjoyed. And as my confidence grew, my recklessness also increased. I was out of balance.

While skiing alone one day I had decided that a tree run called “Stickline” was a good idea. It was a powder day in the middle of the week and there were not a lot of other skiers on the hill that day. With my powder skis on I headed into the trees. It was awesome, quiet, and thrilling all at the same time. All was going incredibly well until I came around a tree a little too fast and missed my next turn, I overcorrected and fell. Once I had dug myself out of the hole I was in, I had realized that during my fall, I had lost one of my ski poles.

After much digging around in the powder, I could not find it. My

ski pole was gone and so was my balance.

As an avid skier and someone who has made hundreds of runs through the trees, since my balance was gone, so was my perspective. The trees looked tighter, the air became thicker, my body temperature was rising while my eyes scanned the forest for the easiest way out. Each time I started to regain my balance, the trail was closing in on me, limiting my progress. Pretty soon I was a puddle of sweat, my goggles were fogging up, and my pulse was racing. I stopped again, lifted my goggles, took off my helmet, and leaned against a tree to catch my breath. And in that moment, I knew that balance would be the key to getting out, balance would provide the necessary perspective to showing me the openings and preparing me for each turn. So, with renewed balance and perspective I made it out safely.

I wanted to share this with you because there is no shortage of sources of input and influence today. And those we hear, see, and

board unanimously voted to return the district to full in-class learning.

Only grassroots pressure inspired them to finally make a commonsense decision. This is a victory, but their leadership failures will continue until four are replaced in November. The awful psychological, emotional, suicidal, and educational damage children experience when denied socialization and learning in school have been discussed by experts for months in the media and are well-known.

The BOE has ignored that science.

Medical experts including Dr. Fauci and the CDC have urged rapid return to in-person school. The BOE has ignored that science.

In summer 2020, the district received over 32,000 responses to a survey asking parents to choose between in-person or e-learning.

Eighty-four percent of parents, who are responsible for weighing medical risks to their children, chose in-person. The district ignored them and wobbled back

and forth from remote learning to in-person to hybrid, wreaking scheduling havoc for working parents and their children, many of whom cannot learn via computer.

Attempting to conceal that kids are falling behind academically, this board dumbed down the grade scale so a C, formerly 70-79, is now 64-75 and other grades are similarly altered. The directors have ignored that the district’s 33 public charter schools have been open for most of the pandemic yet experienced virtually no contagions. Our children are finally back to school and now we turn to replacing this failed board.

Joy Overbeck Parker Enough self-congratulation The sponsors of the now-defunct Douglas County School Board recall seem happy to take credit where none is due. In fact, they’re patting themselves on the back.

“We have no doubt they would have persisted in the wrong course without pressure from you, our amazing volunteers. Together, we’ve won a major victory.”

For those of us who consider

facts, and not hyperbole, the Douglas County Board’s decision to open schools aligns with similar action across Colorado and the country.

Simply stated, the DCSB recall was an ill-conceived public relations action designed to reinforce division in the community. Let’s hope the people behind the recall can shift focus to getting our kids back to class under public health guidelines — wear a mask, maintain 6 feet distance and wash our hands.

Lloyd Guthrie Roxborough Park Charters lead way amid COVID If the Douglas County School District (DCSD) Board is looking for exemplars on how to competently reopen schools, they need not look further than the resilient charter schools across this district.

As our school board members continue to participate in politics of fear and navigate the neverending ether of remote-or-hybrid learning, many charters in our district have achieved success through valuing input from parents and the education of their stu-

dents — and as a result, providing in-person learning with a remote option.

I was unaware that allowing parental choice would be such a novel idea. One would think that a board that clinched their power on the promise of valuing parent input would favor such a model that values the voices of parents as stakeholders in their children’s education.

Further — in examples such as American Academy — there have been fewer and fewer students in remote learning with more and more receiving the benefits of inperson learning. All of this without having their three campuses become epicenters of any widespread of COVID-19 cases.

Charter schools in Douglas County are leading the way, acting as the gold standard for a brighter academic and social future for our children. They value the input of parents and act based on data, science, and the best intentions for their teachers and students.

We need a school board that will respect us similarly.

Craft bean roasters find their niche as they appeal to refined tastes

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

J

ava, joe, coffee — no matter what we call it, coffee is an integral part of many people’s lives, and metro Denver is known for its craft coffee.

For craft coffee roasters, it’s all about the coffee bean — where it’s from, how it’s grown and how it’s roasted. They have created their roasting companies in the last 10 years, and they are passionate about providing the area with the perfect cup of coffee.

AJ Payne, general manager of Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters in Olde Town Arvada, likened the craft coffee industry to the craft beer industry, something the Front Range is known for.

“Breweries have popped up,” Payne said, “and I see the same thing happening with coffee. I think that you will see more and more smaller batch roasters in cafés (who are) roasting at least for their own cafés.”

Andy Sprenger, owner of Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters in Lakewood and Arvada, agreed.

“I’m super grateful to the craft beer industry for creating that space for independents to serve a higherquality product,” he said. “I feel like they paved the way for craft coffee.”

He believes the metro area’s younger demographic is looking for something unique in its coffee.

“I think this is one of the ways Colorado is special. This part of the world attracts a bit of a younger crowd,” Sprenger explained. “Colorado really likes to focus on small, craft, higher quality products, and (people are) willing to pay for them.”

Scott Wilton, operations manager for Bivouac Coffee Roastery and Tasting Room in Evergreen, suggested that Colorado residents enjoy experiences.

“The reason people like craft beer and coffee is the experience with the product you get to enjoy,” he said.

Sprenger added that coffee has a way of allowing people to connect, especially when they linger with friends over a cup, which has paved the way for coffee-drinkers to become particular about the beverage.

“People have gotten picky about their coffee,” said René Steenvoorden, Bivouac’s owner. “There’s a lot of creativity in coffee. Every time you go to a coffee place, the way it is sourced, roasted and made — even the milk you use makes (the coffee) different. I think that makes it interesting and creates a market.”

Landon Harmon, owner of Bearded Man Coffee in Highlands Ranch, likened craft coffee-bean roasting to winemaking. The kind of grape, the elevation it is grown at and when it is harvested can change the taste of the wine just like the type of coffee bean, the elevation it’s grown at and

“The exact same (coffee) plant grown at one elevation can be so vastly different than another (elevation) because of Mother Nature,” he said.

In addition, just as with craft beer brewing and winemaking, it’s important to have a variety of options for a variety of tastes, said Matt Kurgan, owner of Pangea Coffee Roasters in Golden.

(“Carolina on My SAMPLER Mind,” “You’ve Got A Friend,” and more). Audiences, in level yellow, will be limited to 100 for the Main Stage each time. March 19: 8 p.m.; March 20: 1 p.m.; and March 20: 8 p.m. The 8 p.m.

Sonya Ellingboe March 20 performance will also be livestreamed. Tickets: 720-509-1000, lonetreeartscenter.org. They will send a link for the virtual program.

SoSu Collaborative Members of the SoSu Collaborative, who have a joint studio at Streets at Southglenn #306, will host an opening for “20 x 20 by 7” from 5

the key. Giving customers what they want is a tough thing because there are so many different people out there.”

Tracking the trends Coffee, like beer, is constantly evolving, and these craft roasters are always looking for something new to keep coffee drinkers happy.

Sweet Bloom, for example, never envisioned online sales, which were necessitated by the pandemic if the roastery wanted to stay in business, Sprenger said.

“I do think that’s going to be something that will stick around,” Sprenger said. “People have learned to brew coffee at home, which means more whole-bean sales.”

Harmon added that the pandemic has made single-brew cups become even more important.

“Now with the single-serve pod, people can control exactly what they want to taste versus a bag of coffee,” Harmon said.

“Once I sell you a bag of coffee, I lose control of the end result. With a single-serve pod, there’s more control.”

In addition, Kurgan explained that technology has improved, so roasters can keep data

spent many years living with earlyonset Parkinson’s.

Peanuts “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” based on the comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, plays March 19 through April 18 at Town Hall Arts Center in downtown Littleton, assuming, of course that we stay at the current level of COVID restrictions. Only 62 tickets can be sold for each show and THAC will also offer it streamed online April 9-11 and 16-18. Performances will be in socially distanced groups of one, two or three seats.

Tickets for in-person performances cost $47-$52. For virtual show tix, the cost is $26. See townhallartscenter.org or call 303-794-2787. Box office hours: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday.

DMNS The “Stonehenge: Ancient Mysteries and Modern Discoveries” exhibition opens March 12 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver. It presents original artifacts and the latest re-

on the roasting process and the coffee-bean mixtures that make up the blends — ensuring consistency in the roasting process.

Payne believes coffee aficionados are moving away from the super-dark roast coffees toward lighter roasts because they are looking for more natural and robust coffee flavors.

“When you roast something very dark, you don’t get as much flavor,” Payne said.

He compared it to cooking a steak well done rather than medium-rare. People usually add sauces to make a well-done steak taste better.

“I order a medium-rare to medium steak because I like to taste the steak,” he said.

He also mentioned that cold-brew coffees are becoming more popular.

The roastery owners say drinking coffee is a regular part of their lives — between two and six cups a day plus tasting the roasts.

In fact, Sprenger says his biggest fear about COVID-19 is the possibility of losing his sense of taste, which is vital in the profession.

“I want to make sure the coffee is where we want it to be, especially when choosing new coffee,” Sprenger said. “Having taste buds firing on all cylinders is important.”

Harmon added: “If I enjoy (the coffee), I feel like I’m a good balance toward being overly snobby about my coffee and knowing what tastes really good.”

Interestingly, Payne said, Hunter Bay is not a location; rather it’s the maiden names of the original owners.

Pangea Coffee Roasters offers a variety of coffee as it tries to please the tastebuds of its clientele. Luckily, according to owner Matt Kurgan, there are always new coffee beans to roast to get unique flavors.

“Our coffees just change so frequently,” he said, “that not one coffee is around for long. People ask to try our best seller, but that’s hard to define.”

Pangea, which roasts its coffee and operates a café in Golden, brings in coffee beans from Ethiopia, Sumatra, Burundi, Mexico, Bali and more.

Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters in Lakewood and Arvada is named after the coffee plant’s white bloom. In addition, according to the website, “exceptional coffee, freshly roasted and ground, blooms again when infused with hot water — equally fragrant and even more complex.”

Owner Andy Sprenger said as he has learned more about coffee, he has developed a love for its international aspect.

“We want to celebrate cultures at Sweet Bloom,” he said.

Sweet Bloom takes a seasonal approach to coffee, he explained, with a wide range of coffees that rotate throughout the year.

Its Hometown Blend is one of its best sellers, Sprenger said, noting that people start with something they really like, then branch out and try other roasts.

Mountain Vista senior Ben Bowen, right, scored 29 points and pulled down 13 rePHOTO BY JIM BENTON bounds in a 62-55 loss to Regis on March 3.

Top player ready to do what’s needed

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ben Bowen is doing what he claims is “whatever” for the Mountain Vista boys basketball team.

Bowen, a 6-5 senior who will be heading next season to the University of Wyoming to play basketball, was the leading scorer in the Continental League with a 20.1 scoring average during the regular season.

He was also the league leader in free throws made with 85, third with 90 made field goals and fifth with 65 assists or a 4.6 average. He was second in the Continental League with

three double doubles.

“Ben is having a great season,” said Vista head coach Brian Wood.

“He has improved a lot since last year and we ask him to do so much more for us than we asked last year.

In my opinion, he is the best player in 5A.” Bowen is definitely the featured player for the Golden Eagles, who were ranked seventh in the CHSAANow.com poll on March 1.

“I am just doing whatever it is to win,” said Bowen. “If I need to go out and score 50 points, I’m going to go out and try to score 50 points. If I’m going to have to have no points and 20 assists, I’m going to try to do that.

“Whatever it is that they want me to do. Bob (assistant coach Bob Wood) and Brian are two of the best SEE BOWEN, P31

Public Notices City and County PUBLIC NOTICE This Ordinance and any changes thereto shall be considered on second reading for final adoption by the Lone Tree City Council at a public hearing located at the Lone Tree Arts Center Event Hall at 10075 Commons Street, Lone Tree, CO 80124, at 7:00 p.m. on March 16, 2021. The Ordinance may also be postponed at said hearing.

The public hearing will be accessible to the public virtually via Microsoft Office Teams and accessed via the City Council website: cityoflonetree.civicweb.net/Portal ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LONE TREE Series of 2021 Ordinance No. 21-04 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6 OF THE LONE TREE MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING A NEW ARTICLE V CONCERNING TOBACCO RETAILER LICENSING BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LONE TREE, COLORADO: ARTICLE 1 – AUTHORITY The City of Lone Tree (the “City”) is a home rule municipality operating under the Lone Tree Home Rule Charter (the “Charter”) adopted on May 5, 1998 and a Municipal Code (the “Code”), codified and adopted on December 7, 2004. Pursuant to the Charter, the Code and the authority given home rule cities, the City may adopt and amend Ordinances and adopt codes by reference.

ARTICLE 2 – DECLARATIONS OF POLICY A. The City does not currently require retailers who sell tobacco and nicotine products to obtain a license for the sale of such products within the City.

B. Although smoking rates have declined in the United States, in Colorado, like most other states, smoking is the number one cause of preventable deaths.

C. According to information from the Tri-County Health Department, most tobacco users begin using tobacco before they are legally old enough to purchase these products. National data shows that about ninety-five percent (95%) of adult smokers begin smoking before they turn twenty-one (21), but less than half of adult smokers become regular smokers before the age of eighteen (18).

D. Therefore, the eighteen (18) to twenty-one (21) age range is a time when many smokers transition to regular use of cigarettes, and one national survey shows that the prevalence of smoking among 18- to 20-year-olds is more than double that of 16- to 17-year-olds.

E. The Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) recommendations for best practices to effectively limit youth access to tobacco and prevent future regular use of cigarettes include stronger local laws directed at retailers, active enforcement of retailer sales laws, and retailer education with reinforcement.

F. Furthermore, on December 20, 2019, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was amended in order to raise the federal minimum purchase age for tobacco products from 18 to 21 years. It is now illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product, including cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes to anyone under 21.

G. In addition, the Colorado legislature passed House Bill 20-1001, signed by Governor Polis on July 14, 2020, which raises the minimum legal sales age for all nicotine and tobacco products to 21 in the state.

H. The City of Lone Tree has a substantial interest in promoting compliance with federal, state and local laws intended to regulate tobacco sales and use, discouraging the illegal sales of tobacco and nicotine products to underage persons, and promoting compliance with laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to underage persons.

I. The City Council therefore desires to implement tobacco retailer licensing regulations that promote compliance with state and federal law and reflect the best practices set forth by the CDC and the Tri-County Health Department to reduce youth access to tobacco and prevent underage persons from becoming smokers.

ARTICLE 3 – SAFETY CLAUSE The City Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this Ordinance is promulgated under the general police power of the City, that it is promulgated for the health, safety, and welfare of the public, and that this Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of health and safety and for the protection of public convenience and welfare.

ARTICLE 4 – ADDITION OF NEW ARTICLE V A new Article V, titled “Tobacco Retailer Licensing,” is hereby added to Chapter 6 of the Lone Tree Municipal Code to read in full as follows: CHAPTER 6 Business Licenses and Regulations ARTICLE V –Tobacco Retailer Licensing Sec. 6-5-10. Title and Scope.

This Article shall be known and cited as the Tobacco Retailer Licensing Ordinance. This Article shall apply to all persons and businesses who sell cigarettes and tobacco products at retail within the City.

(d) The term includes all "roll-your-own," i.e., any tobacco that, because of its appearance, type, packaging, or labeling, is suitable for use and likely to be offered to, or purchased by, consumers as tobacco for making cigarettes.

Component or part means any software or assembly of materials intended or reasonably expected: (1) to alter or affect the tobacco product's performance, composition, constituents, or characteristics; or (2) to be used with or for the human consumption of a tobacco product or electronic smoking device. Component or part excludes anything that is an accessory, and includes, but is not limited to e-liquids, cartridges, certain batteries, heating coils, programmable software and flavorings for electronic smoking device.
