Delayed treatment will put pressure on health care system Heart health, cancer cases and stroke prognosis worse due to patients skipping care

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Delayed care for major health conditions in 2020 is leading specialists through the Denver metro area to worry that it could take more than a decade to recover from the emotional, financial and societal price.

According to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

Cancer cases are increasing, longterm treatment for heart issues has become more complicated, mental health and general health care lost a year and doctors are working to clear a backlog in all areas.

The adult suspect in the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting case appeared in court for one of his final hearings before going to trial this spring.

During the April 9 pre-trial conference in Castle Rock, attorneys and District Court Judge Theresa Slade settled on dates for jury selection and discussed how pandemic precautions might shake up proceedings.

Devon Erickson, 20, faces dozens of charges including felony first-degree murder for his role in the shooting that left 18-year-old Kendrick Castillo dead and eight other students injured on May 7, 2019. He appeared in court alongside his attorneys David Kaplan and Julia Stancil.

Former 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, who was asked to stay on the case by District Attorney John Kellner after leaving office, appeared for the prosecution with Chief Deputy District Attorney Rebecca Gleason and Senior Chief Deputy District Attorney Chris Wilcox.

Vista and contributing to the spread there.

That’s concerning because the variant is more transmissible, some recent data shows it is more transmissible among children, and there is the potential for higher hospitalization rates, Chase said.

“So, we want to stop this before it gets out of control,” she said.

The CDC’s Director Rochelle Walensky said April 7 the U.K. strain is now the dominant strain in the U.S., as more cases occur among youth nationally, according to multiple media reports.

Tri-County Health is monitoring spread Douglas County schools nearing closure and urging mass testing at Mountain Vista to help catch asymptomatic cases, Chase said. The agency is working with the district to see if mass testing can be arranged, she said.

The state health department has mobile testing centers that might be available to deploy at Mountain Vista at no cost to the school or families. The district could also lean on other community testing sites, she said.

Rising data The full scope of COVID-19 within Douglas County Schools is difficult to judge from publicly available data.

The district’s COVID-19 dashboard on April 5 showed Mountain Vista had more than 500 people in quarantine and 34 in isolation. At some high schools, the dashboard reported hundreds of people in quarantine and a mere handful at others.

Sierra Middle School teacher Bridget McCoy said during the April 6 board meeting the district’s dashboard appeared inaccurate and underreported quarantines at her school. That combined with the district’s decision to stop issuing schoolwide letters about COVID-19 cases in schools is leaving people in the dark, she said.

“The reality really isn’t reflected,” she said.

Reynolds said staff have been unable to regularly update COVID-19 metrics on the district’s website since secondary schools resumed in-person learning. Employees are tied up handling contact tracing and responding to new COVID-19 cases.

Reynolds said the district will need to re-evaluate how it updates that information “in a more-timely fashion” moving forward.

“We’re going to have to go back to the drawing board,” he said.

A district spokeswoman said staff is working to update the dashboard in response to requests for daily totals of new COVID-19 cases, isolations and quarantines at DCSD secondary schools this quarter.

That data is not available through the Tri-County Health Department, a spokesman said, only incidence rates among youth in the county.

Wise said April 6 the district and schools are managing challenges to full in-person. A silver lining, he said, is that the community learned resiliency during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our students and teachers have adjusted to transitioning,” he said.

Tri-County OKs one-month extension to COVID dial State ends dial system in mid-April, but local health office decides to go longer

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Tri-County Health Department’s board of health voted to extend a modified version of the state’s dial framework for one month during an April 8 meeting, impacting Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment plans to repeal the dial, which has set restrictions for each county based on COVID-19 data, on April 16.

After the state’s dial is removed, TriCounty’s order would move its counties to one level lower on the dial, loosening restrictions. The exception is Arapahoe County, which was in level blue as of April 12 but had virus metrics — such as rate of new cases — that sat above the limit for level blue based on the state’s dial system. Arapahoe will remain in blue if its state dial metrics still reflect level yellow, which is one level stricter, on April 16, according to Tri-County.

Adams and Douglas counties were in level yellow as of April 12 and could move down to blue.

Those changes would continue until May 15, according to the order. At that point, as long as there isn’t another surge in hospitalized cases, those coun-

ties would lose all restrictions and go into an observational period.

Dr. John Douglas, executive director for Tri-County, recommended this path forward after noting a rise in cases in the communities. He’s also voiced concern about the continued spread of variant strains of COVID-19 in the state.

“If we can just get (one more month) under our belt, (we’ll be in better shape),” Douglas said in an Arapahoe County town hall shortly after the measure was approved.

Tri-County isn’t the only health department planning to continue use of the dial, however. During the board of health meeting, Douglas said that all the metro counties’ health departments are planning to do the same. Denver may have a longer dial extension, he said.

Jefferson County Public Health announced plans on April 9 to also extend the dial until mid-May, according to social media posts from the agency.

The plan has support from both Adams County and Arapahoe County leaders, said Jennifer Ludwig, deputy director for Tri-County, during the meeting. Douglas County leaders have “clearly expressed reservations,” Douglas said.

During an April 6 meeting with Douglas County leaders, County Commissioner Abe Laydon said he would not support the order being continued in the area.

“With all due respect, John, I’m remarkably disappointed that you would suggest we should continue under a

public health order based upon your expertise,” Laydon said to Douglas. “The purpose of many of these orders and the dial was to protect the vulnerable but the vulnerable no longer exist.”

Douglas responded by noting that under the board of health’s new policy, any of the three counties are able to opt out of the public health order. This policy was put in place after Douglas County commissioners announced a plan to leave the health agency. Negotiations in November 2020 resulted in Douglas County remaining with the health department through at least 2022 in return for the new policy.

“I am sorry that I am putting any of you in a difficult place, … as I try to carry out what i feel like are my professional and moral obligations,” Douglas said in the April 6 meeting. “I take the health of everybody, our businesses, our schoolchildren, our residents very seriously and ... we will continue to try to do the best we can as we transition back to as full a return to normal as possible.”

Douglas County announced April 9 that commissioners had directed staff to draft a resolution to opt-out of the public health order. They planned to vote on the resolution at an April 14 meeting.

“Douglas County will remain guided by accurate public health data, including high vaccination rates of vulnerable populations, coupled with low hospitalizations and deaths,” according to a joint statement from the commissioners. “These science-driven metrics balanced against job losses, business

closures and mental health consequences require that we exercise our local control authority on behalf of the people of Douglas County.”

Details of the extension The modified dial that Tri-County plans to put in place would do away with many of the portions of the original dial, including restaurant contact tracing and extra sanitation requirements. While the state’s outline for the dial is more than 70 pages long, Tri-County’s will be fewer than 10, Ludwig said.

The modified dial will outline guidelines including capacity restrictions, social distancing, signage and ventilation. There is a separate Tri-County mask order until June 30, which was recently altered to no longer include outdoor areas. Douglas County and all of its municipalities other than Lone Tree have opted out of that order.

The Tri-County dial is planned to include two phases: first a one-month continuation of restrictions, followed by a fully-open three-month period of observation. During the second phase, the health department will monitor severity metrics, such as hospitalized cases, to determine if any further restrictions are needed.

“Everybody wants this pandemic to be over, me included,” said Julie Mullica, a board of health member representing Adams County. “I think it’s important to be cautious, especially with uncertainties when it comes to SEE DIAL, P10

The View gets green light to move forward Town council votes 4-3 in favor of agreement for downtown project

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A 4-3 split vote by Castle Rock Town Council pitted visions to increase business vitality downtown against concerns about increasing congestion and the costs the town bears in continued development. The latest issue came in the vote to allow the six-story, mixed use development known as The View.

Mayor Jason Gray, Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken and Councilmembers Ryan Hollingshead and Desiree LeFleur voted in favor of the redevelopment agreement at the April 6 meeting.

Voting in opposition were Councilmembers Laura Cavey, Tim Dietz and Caryn Johnson.

The View is being developed by Castle Rock Development LLC, which is composed of Treanor Investments LLC, Douglas County Properties LLC, and Rock View Holdings LLC. The developer is proposing redevelopment of the storage facilities at the northeast corner of Sixth and Jerry streets into a mixed-use, six-story building with 221 for-rent residential units, 14,500 square feet of office space and 5,000 square feet of retail space.

Altogether, the building is more than 300,000 square feet, including the parking garage.

The project includes a 400-car parking garage. The town has agreed to purchase 100 of the spaces for $3 million.

Citing a background in engineering, Cavey expressed concern with building more apartments and condos downtown.

Cavey warned fellow councilmembers there is no way to widen downtown streets, and with new residents in the ongoing Encore project and now the View, traffic is going to become a problem. Cavey said even before the expected increased population downtown, it takes multiple light cycles to go through at 4 p.m. on a weekday.

Encore will offer 124 condos for sale downtown, along with a 601-car parking garage, including 308 spaces the town will purchase for around $10 million.

Members of the business community continue to voice support for The View, saying it will bring business and improve downtown.

Kevin Tilson, director of the Downtown Development Authority, said The View is a good fit for Castle Rock. He said he wants an “active downtown” to help business owners experience more business Monday through Friday.

Frank Gray, president of Castle Rock Economic Development Colorado (EDC), said finding office space in Castle Rock is currently challenging

In voting against the development with Councilmembers Johnson and Dietz, Cavey continued to question the process by which the unelected Design Review Board (DRB) oversees and approves major development.

Cavey repeated her view at the beginning of the council meeting, saying the council must compromise and limit the powers of the DRB. He once again asked the council to limit DRB to oversee projects under 10,000 square feet, returning major projects to council oversight.

Dietz questioned how boards like DRB are truly representing all the people.

“Everything is already decided before it gets here,” he said. “Infrastructure in town is not keeping up with growth.

Police, fire, roads — none of them were even considered with this project. But sure, you can still keep building these monsters.”

In another 4-3 vote, the council approved $2.2 million to build a roundabout downtown. The roundabout is recommended due to the increased

traffic counts expected with the Encore development nearing completion.

In voting against the measure along with Dietz and Johnson, Cavey said she does not understand the city paying so much money for a roundabout that is directly caused by Encore developers.

“I would rather put that money towards police and fire rather than a roundabout,” she said.

According to information provided by the town, the roundabout will be covered with $750,000 generated by redevelopment projects, with the remaining costs from transportation funds.

With construction planned between April and June, Wilcox Street will be fully closed between First and Phelps streets. Also, during construction, South Street will be closed between the alleys east and west of Wilcox Street.

The detour route will be Perry Street to Third and Phelps streets.

In expressing support for the project, Hollingshead said he is confident the roundabout is going to “make downtown smooth and that’s the point.”

Businesses in the area will remain open during construction.

Students work to prevent suicide among veterans Through a community outreach program, local teens hope to help veterans

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With suicide rates among veterans continuing to increase, especially during the pandemic, a group of Highlands Ranch teens came together to help educate and inform in the name of prevention. Colorado Community Media caught up with Moutain Vista High School junior Bella Lewis to discuss their efforts and what they learned from the experience.

How did you get involved?

There is certainly no shortage of problems worldwide, but there are also a great many things that we can do to address, and perhaps begin to ease, the issues. As students, we have the means to directly impact the world because of our vast access to media platforms, schools, and other news sources. HOSA — Future Health Professionals is a professional student organization for those interested in pursuing further education and careers in any area of health or biomedical sciences. HOSA provides opportunities for both high school and post-secondary students to compete in a variety of events at the local, state, and international level. The Commu-

nity Awareness event is a teamwork project that requires students to understand the problems facing members of the community.

Why did you choose to help veterans?

This is exactly what my team, including Rock Canyon High School students Kimberly Whitmore and Alice Sun, have been doing. When we first began exploring ideas for a topic, we were astonished and deeply troubled by the statistic that one Veteran dies by suicide every hour.

This is a devastating reality, and ultimately inspired us to pursue our research and undertake our journey to help veterans affected by mental health issues.

We found that in our home state of Colorado, the suicide rate for veterans is much higher than the national average. Furthermore, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the suicide rate has increased by 20%.

What did you do to address the issues?

We partnered with Veteran Affairs Eastern Colorado Healthcare System, the American Legion Auxiliary, the Veterans Coalition of the San Luis Valley, the American Legion, and Project Sanctuary. With the help of our partners, we have been able to distribute brochures, posters, infographics, and bookmarks that were placed throughout the community, including veteran support locations. One of our most effective and impactful outreach events was the retreat we attended with Project Sanctuary. We worked together to help veterans and their

What did you learn?

My teammates and I spoke to many veterans and their families. Not only did we share information with the veterans and their families, but also, and most importantly, we were able to listen to, and learn from, these men and women. One of the veterans who was in attendance mentioned that we made a profound impact on him, and that it was amazing to see how we could bring hope and aid to other

people. This event is something that I will remember for the rest of my life.

It had a deep and profound impact on my perception of our project, as well as the critical importance of addressing the issues of mental health awareness and veteran suicide prevention.

This project has not only impacted the people that my team and I have been able to reach but has helped to shape our perceptions regarding veteran suicide and mental health in general. We now see just how important this issue is, and we are committed to continuing this project.

A reverse mortgage is simply a way for you to convert some of your built-up home equity into cash for your retirement — cash to pay off large bills or high-interest credit card debt, make home improvements, cover medical expenses, build a bigger rainy-day fund, or simply get out and enjoy more of the Mile High City.

If you choose, you can wait to repay your loan when you permanently leave your home. Although a reverse mortgage requires no monthly mortgage payments, you are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of your home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, HOA fees.

“Working with Jarred Talmadge and AAG was a very nice experience,” said AAG customer Angela Pendergraft. “No pressure or feelings of anxiety. He answered all our questions and concerns leaving us feeling comfortable with our decision to do a reverse mortgage.”

If you want to learn how a reverse mortgage can specifically improve your retirement, AAG Market Sales Manager Jarred Talmadge, NMLS# 1842043, and his team are ready to assist you.

jury selection at a Marriott hotel.

The facility will accommodate social distancing during jury selection, but opening statements will take place back in the courtroom, Slade said.

It’s unclear exactly what precautions will be required come trial time, she said. The state is set to let its dial system lapse before the case goes to trial, but the Tri-County Health Department could still impose its own at the local level in Douglas County and plans to extend its dial for another 30 days through mid-May. And Slade said she could not guarantee what capacity limits might be in place during proceedings, cautioning attorneys to account for that.

The jury alone would take up roughly half the courtroom once

socially distanced, she said.

The prosecution said it might have up to 29 people wishing to attend in-person, with about 10 of those individuals needing to attend daily.

That does not include its six-person team handling the case.

Defense attorneys told Slade they would request space for their fiveperson team plus an additional 10 people they need to participate in proceedings.

As of now attendees will be required to space six feet apart, wear masks and disinfect the podium in between witnesses. Slade said the court intends to livestream the trial and provide overflow rooms at the courthouse.

The trial is scheduled through late June and will mark the end to a case long drawn out by COVID-19.

The younger suspect, Alec McKinney, pleaded guilty and last year was sentenced to life in prison plus 38 years, with the possibility of parole after 40 years.

Fertilizer: arch enemy of waterways.

Streams, lakes and reservoirs don’t need it. Your lawn may not need it, either. Fertilizer, like other products that serve a necessary purpose, can become a problem if misused. Most lawn fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, represented by a three-number string on the front of the bag. Nutrient needs vary from lawn to lawn and can only be determined by testing the soil.

If over-applied, rain carries away excess nutrients not needed by plants and washes them to the nearest waterway, causing excess algae growth that uses up vital oxygen for fish.

Please take the time to have your soil tested to determine your lawn’s needs. This simple, small change in your lawn care makes a huge difference, not only to the health of your lawn but also to your nearby rivers, creeks and lakes.

TREATMENT FROM PAGE 1

Cancer cases rising Dr. Radhika Acharya-Leon, section chief for medical oncology at Highlands Ranch Hospital, said the consequences of delayed treatment are starting to emerge each day where the disease is more progressed in colon, breast, prostate and lung cancer cases.

“The more people delayed screenings and follow-up testing, the more the prognosis is going to change,” she said. “The longer treatment is delayed, the more your rate of survival decreases. Patients we are seeing now have a worse outlook.”

According to the American Journal of Managed Care, screenings for breast, colon, prostate and lung cancer dropped dramatically in 2020. At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, breast cancer screenings dropped 85%, colonoscopies dropped by 75%, lung cancer screenings were down 56%, and prostate testing decreased by 74%.

By delaying screenings, and ignoring symptoms, Acharya-Leon said education about the importance of early diagnosis and intervention went out the window in 2020.

Another concerning trend was patients skipping follow-up care.

Acharya-Leon said it is vital for patients who were treated for cancer in the past to follow up to make sure the disease has not returned. When those patients are coming back, the prognosis is not good.

“The fallout from this is going to be

Virtual option is proving safe for patients during pandemic From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to the state government, the public was warned to stay home starting last March when cases of COVID started spreading in the U.S. The problem with the messaging, as many doctors across the Denver metro area have pointed out, is that it made people stay home and skip health care from regular doctor visits and screenings, along with ignoring serious issues that needed an emergencyroom visit.

Now, patients who are still afraid of leaving home for a regular doctor visit can turn to the emerging popularity of telemedicine.

Dr. Alison Shmerling, a fama decade at least,” she said. “We have a situation in this country where you go from having a curable situation to an incurable situation. The cost to society is going to be huge.”

Dr. Lisa Wynn, of CU Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology in Highlands Ranch, said it has been difficult talking to patients who put off care and are now receiving bad

ily doctor in Westminster, said for UCHealth, telehealth visits jumped up to more than 60,000 appointments in 2020.

“We have really learned a lot about what we can and cannot do as doctors in telehealth,” she said.

Dr. Amanda Babcock, a family medicine provider in Arvada, said for those who still fear going to a doctor’s office, telehealth is an important option to take advantage of.

“A lot of people have been forgoing screenings,” she said. “Virtual calls are going up and can take place while you are at work, during lunch or on a break. The accessibility is there, and we can help.”

However, Babcock stressed that doctors’ office and hospitals are going to be safe with all the precautions and procedures they follow for patient safety.

According to the CDC, since March 2020, virtual doctor visits increased by 159% and will likely continue to be a trend in coming

years.

Dr. Nick Tsipis, the associate medical director at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, said telemedicine has become a great alternative to in-person treatment.

“Telemedicine has been both appropriate and helpful,” he said.

“But it does not solve all problems. We still need patients to get back to getting regular screenings and testing that has to be done in person.”

Kristin Orlowski, a UCHealth behavioral health expert in Highlands Ranch, said with the pandemic creating so much fear and anxiety, “Telemedicine is a good option for those who are still afraid of going in person.”

Most doctors and medical professionals in the Denver metro area offer appointments via telemedicine. Doctors stress that communication and updates with general-care providers, even if by phone, is more important than ignoring medical care altogether.

death this year,” Cedrone said. “It’s important to be less scared of COVID, pay attention to symptoms and go get treatment.”

Dr. Larry Allen, an advanced heart failure and transplant cardiologist with UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, said they saw a 40% decrease in heart patients at the peak of the pandemic.

“When (patients) stay home with cardiac disease, there is permanent damage.” Allen said. “By the time we saw them, the damage was so much worse than it could have been and so much harder for us to treat.”

Allen said the current trends are frustrating because it took decades to teach the public about the symptoms of a heart attack and the importance of seeking emergency treatment.

In cases that did not lead to death, Allen said the cost to the health-care system will carry on for years.

cal Center in Englewood, said the emergency room had some alarming trends in 2020 that will take years to sort out. One of those trends was delaying care for a heart attack.

“The initial recommendations were to avoid hospitals,” Tsipis said.

“While well intentioned, now we know it should have been worded differently. We saw patients who had had a heart attack that happened more than 24 hours before.

These patients knew something was not right but wanted to wait.

They did not want to burden the system.”

Project tries to deter mass shootings Rock Canyon grad works to understand, prevent tragedies

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wanting to stop her age group from being known as the generation of “mass shootings,” Shreya Nallapati said she has continued to listen, learn and work to find solutions and answers.

Nallapati, a graduate of Rock Canyon High School, has been featured by Forbes and NPR for her work to use analytics and artificial intelligence to decrease gun violence and prevent Nallapati future mass shootings.

In 2018, Nallapati started the #NeverAgainTech project.

DIAL FROM PAGE 4

variants and things like that, we don’t know how it’s going to be affecting our communities.”

The motion passed with all but one board of health member voting in favor.

“I’m opposed. I have to support my constituency,” said Dr. Linda Fielding,

The tipping point came her senior year of high school when 17 people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. She wanted to find answers, create change and rewrite the narrative that mass shootings were a new “normal.”

“We started the project to see if mass shootings are predictable,” she said. “We wanted to see if we can pinpoint the exact time a shooting or violence will occur. What we have found over the years is that mass shootings are very random.”

That does not mean her project was for nothing, Nallapati said she and more than 200 members working with #NeverAgainTech are still working to understand why mass shootings and violence in the U.S. have continued.

“We have pedaled back a bit,” said 20-year-old Nallapati. “Now we are focused on the ideology aspect. We are shifting to a lot more fruitful method to understand mass violence.”

Looking at the U.S. Capitol riot, Nallapati said there is a lot to learn.

With the #NeverAgainTech team spread across the U.S., Nallapati said they have focused efforts on what extremist groups are saying and doing, especially through social media.

With an abundance of misinformation and conspiracy theories spreading freely through social media platforms such as Facebook, Nallapati said #NeverAgainTech is looking at when conversations turn from simple banter and venting to threats of violence and trigger behavior.

“On a temporal level, we are looking at what the tipping point is,” she said. “We watch these discussions where the language changes from what appears to be joking to a more serious tone where they are actively wishing and pushing for violence.”

With the recent shooting in Boulder where 10 people died and the killings of Asian Americans in the Atlanta area, Nallapati said it continues to be “painful” as many

of her studies and research over the years have pointed to an increase in violence, especially toward Asians.

Besides watching the online discussions turn more violent, Nallapati said another aspect of #NeverAgainTech is to research gun sales and purchases state by state.

“At the start of the pandemic, people were buying guns like it was toilet paper,” she said. “Pair that with the economic instability, job layoffs — you have a bad situation.”

As she moves forward, Nallapati said #NeverAgainTech will continue to evolve as it needs to. At the beginning, efforts were aimed at predicting future mass shootings. Now she will continue to research and pinpoint the causes and how to change society to prevent them.

“At the beginning of all of this, I was truly disillusioned with this country,” she said. “... How could we normalize this after Sandy Hook? I will always work to listen and work towards an answer.”

a representative for Douglas County.

“I still, for various reasons, do not entirely agree with this but I do think it’s a valiant and well-intentioned effort.”

The 5-star certification prorgam, which allows businesses certified for following additional COVID-19 prevention measures to open under loosened restrictions, will be allowed to continue, Douglas said.

of the year, cases per 100,000 residents, or incidence rates, have begun to increase again, according to Tri-County data. As of April 9, Douglas County’s incidence rate was higher than that of Adams and Arapahoe counties.

“While we are impressed with overall improvements in what I think are important metrics, I am concerned as a public health scientist about rising case rates (and) the rising number of variants across the state,” Douglas said.

Douglas is concerned about the possibility that the COVID variants, some of which are more easily transmissible or causing more severe illness, could slow down progress in the area in the same way that they have for other parts of the world.

“Cautious continuation of the dial and cautious observation is probably the (smartest) way forward,” Douglas said.

The sun comes up, and here we go again

he sun comes up right behind Sue and Andy’s house.

At least that’s what it looks like from where I am.

They live directly across the street and have an QUIET even better view than I do because DESPERATION they’re closer.

Most of the time, sunrise is a post card. That’s because we live in Colorado. Not one of the grim Midwestern states I grew up in where the sun never Craig Marshall seems to be around Smith in the morning, especially in the winter.

The sunrise horizon behind Sue and Andy’s is coral and blue with some red-orange.

If I haven’t read the paper, turned on the television or my computer, life looks pretty good, and until I do any of those things, I am pleasant to be around.

Life in its simplest terms at sun-

A

rise, sunset, next to a forest or an ocean, or on an innocuous suburban Denver street of lookalike houses in a community once besmirched by National Geographic is — what’s a good word? — magnificent.

Then the bipeds come along and ruin things. Why? The answer I’ve heard my entire life is “human nature.”

William Golding wrote a book titled “Lord of the Flies” about a bunch of British boys stranded on an island.

By the end of the book, the boys have divided up into two groups: one that is mostly cooperative and the other that has reverted to primitive and savage behavior.

Sound familiar?

It’s lauded as an insightful study of “rational and emotional reactions, and morality and immorality.”

That sums up the conflicting headlines in the morning paper.

Nevertheless, I press on with coffee and Harry at my side, turning the pages, knowing some horror awaits.

There are horrors right here in Colorado, across the country, and around the world, some in places I’ve never heard of until recently.

Why do I read the newspaper?

Or turn on the television? Or the computer?

Some people don’t.

Who are these people?

Since you’re reading this, you are not one of them.

Maybe you know someone who is uninformed. Are they blissful?

Being around someone who didn’t know what was going on might be difficult for me. What am I talking about? I spend twentyfour hours a day with a dachshund.

You’ve seen “Harvey,” starring Jimmy Stewart? His character, Elwood P. Dowd, is a very likable man who lives in his own little world with plenty of martinis and an imaginary friend.

Nothing seems to bother Dowd.

And those around him begin to see things differently, are more positive and optimistic, and experience life with less anger, anxiety, and

depression.

A Denver woman, Mary Chase, wrote the play. The film’s running time is 104 minutes.

For 104 minutes, I’m along for the ride. Maybe for another thirty afterwards. Then?

Then I’ll change channels and return to this world.

CNN, FOX, Boulder, Atlanta, the Chauvin trial, Ethiopia, Myanmar.

Why is Georgia Georgia?

Why not just leave the U.S. flag at half-staff? It would save a lot of time. Just leave it halfway up.

Bang. Pow. Boom.

Facing life without bottles or an invisible rabbit takes a lot of something, doesn’t it?

‘The 60 to 60 Success Plan for Life’

few years ago, I had the opportunity to be a passenger in my friend’s Porsche 911 as he demonstrated how fast going from zero to 60 MPH in less than 3 seconds feels. And I will share with you that it was quite exhilarating.

In late 2020, I was reminded that WINNING I would be turning WORDS 59 years old this year. And then it dawned on me, I would be turning 60 in 2022. Simple math right. Where has the time gone — I mean sometimes it feels like I went from 0 to 59 Michael Norton years old in 3 seconds too. And then I remembered a famous quote by Michael Altshuler, “The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”

When I realized that I had 60 weeks to go until I turned 60, I knew I could no longer be a passenger, I had to get into the cockpit and take control over what happens next. With that inspiration,

I wrote out my “60 to 60 Success Plan for Life.” The plan was built around one primary question, “How do I want to arrive to the party when I turn 60?”

I will share with you that as I developed my plan, I solicited feedback from family members, friends and advisers. And although my personal plan was a “60 weeks to 60 years old” plan, I had people ask me to help them with their “30 weeks to turning 30 years old” plan, “42 days to turning 42 years old,” and someone who wanted help with a “30, 60, 90-day success” plan that had nothing to do with reaching an age milestone, and everything to do with making changes in their life that would help them to succeed personally and professionally.

Here are the elements of my 60 to 60 plan that I shared with others.

You will recognize activities, concepts, and attitudinal adjustments around the things that I either wanted to change and would commit to change, or new strategies that would help me execute against my plan and reach my desired goals.

When I arrive at 60, I want to be:

healthier; happier; in better shape; even more optimistic; motivated and full of energy; enjoying a greater sense of peace and accomplishment; and seeing the abundance of opportunities still ahead of me to help and serve others.

What it will mean to me personally is that I will have an even more loving relationship with my wife, my children, and my grandchildren whom I worship and adore; closer friendships built on mutual trust and respect; better sleep; fewer medications; an elevated level of physical fitness; and a closer walk with God. What it will mean to me professionally is that I will be a business owner known for servant leadership who enjoys the rewards of a loyal staff, happy customers and grateful partners, all of whom have been able to benefit personally, professionally and spiritually from our relationship.

What will I be, do, or have at 60 years old? I will continue to be a difference-maker in the lives of others; have written and published my 662nd column; ski; work out; Golf; read more; enjoy my Hawai-

ian vacations; and be seen as a relevant and respected thought leader.

What are the changes that I will have to make to achieve my goals?

Continued daily devotions, Bible study, prayer, and worship; amplifying my time spent reading; a well-balanced diet; sobriety; five or six days per week working out; journaling and writing; prospecting for new business; continued white-glove service for our existing customers.

If you need a little assistance or coaching to help you get to where it is you wish to be, do the things that you want to do, and have the things that are most important to you, send me an email at mnorton@tramazing.com, as I would love to help. And when we can plan to win and prepare to win, we will typically find ways to win in all areas of life, making this a better than good year.

Starting your own business later in life

he media has created a specific image of a startup business — a team of young people in hoodies creating something “techy” GUEST with a silly name.

However, entrepre- COLUMN neurship is actuColbe Galston ally most prevalent among those aged 55-64. Globally, there are 34 million adults in this cohort who want to start a business, giving this age group the highest rate of entrepreneurship, according to Global Entrepreneurship Monitor.

Starting a business requires a wide range of skills. It also requires taking risks, plus some planning and new ideas, while following rules and regulations. Older adults are uniquely suited because they bring their lifetimes of experience to the process. They also have broader networks and more capital, both of

which are significant for success.

Startups are driven by creativity and hard work, and seniors with the passion to build a new business later in life are usually bringing both in abundance. All of these characteristics fit with the challenges and opportunities that come with starting a business. Embarking on such a challenge also brings rich experiences to seniors’ lives. Entrepreneurs learn and grow every day, as well as stay busy. The technology available today allows for productivity and connectivity in myriad ways.

Senior entrepreneurship also benefits the larger community.

Businesses owned by older adults are more likely to pursue social or community-oriented goals compared to those of younger entrepreneurs. The flexibility of starting a business later in life means it can be a passion project with broader

goals than monetary success or continuous growth. From an economic perspective, keeping older adults in the workforce not only grows the tax base and local employment, but also reduces the downward economic impact on services that retirees use.

While older business owners create enterprises in every industry and model, they also have the ability to meet the specific needs of their generation. The percentage of the U.S. population age 65 to 74 has grown by half since 2010 and is going to grow by 22% over the next decade, according to the Brookings Institute and Statista.

Additionally, according to AARP, Colorado households helmed by someone over age 50 accounted for 53 cents of every dollar spent in 2018, and this is projected to grow to 61 cents by 2050. This makes the senior population a hugely

attractive target market: growing, spending, and with a particular lifestyle. They may be looking for the opportunity to work with businesses that understand their experiences and can cater to their wants and needs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Schools’ equity policy needed Re equity policy at DCSD — thank you for including the quotes representing opposition. Many of them are verbatim the standard responses from entitled white privileged people when issues of racial equity are discussed.

I’m a white male, and I remember thinking racial discrimination and inequity were at times blown out of proportion or not a problem in my community.

Racism in America may not seem like a problem for the privileged but it’s definitely a problem for our country. And it only gets solved when white people let go of their fears.

Equity isn’t a threat to anyone, and it isn’t anti-white, and it isn’t a waste of time, money, or other resources. That’s all part of the same old rally cry that privileged people have used for centuries to try and protect suppressive and oppressive laws and culture in their own self-interest. The pursuit of equity is an opportunity to learn about the other (whatever that other may be) which is what ALL education is about. And through education we grow.

Presenting opportunity equally allows us all to benefit equally. The status quo may be comfortable and less scary for some, but it isn’t working because inequity doesn’t work. Historical problems demand resolution, and this debate didn’t appear because there isn’t a problem — it’s here because there’s a great opportunity. Let’s get a policy in place — it won’t be perfect but don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good. Refine over time, yes, but

Conserve for Colorado’s water future Meeting Colorado’s water needs in the face of climate change requires that we significantly reduce the use of water, rather than build more environmentally destructive dams and diversion projects.

In my community, Evergreen, local residents are calling for our county commissioners to make better decisions regarding new buildings.

Developers keep adding homes to areas that are already stressed in terms of water use and fire danger.

Recently, a 52-home development was approved without regard to the availability of water. Local residents are clearly calling for better decisions that evaluate water availability before approving more development.

We are concerned that our county government is more concerned with promoting development than protecting our water supply.

Evergreen residents generally maintain natural forest and fields that do not require using groundwater. But we don’t have much hope when the rampant development continues.

We also find that poorly managed cattle grazing significantly damages riparian resources, in addition to degrading our prairie grasslands. Working with ranchers to improve grazing practices can lead to the important protection of biological resources.

The Colorado Water Plan is an important step in the right direction but it requires funding to be successful. We can reduce our use of water.

We just need to have sound decisions

Because you want to know...

Post-pandemic fitness tips from the pros

Meaghan Doherty of Denver Fitness Boot Camp.

COURTESY OF MEAGHAN DOHERTY

Whether you’re looking for a restart or starting for the first time, experts offer up advice to get your body moving

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

f you’ve put on a few pounds during the pandemic, you’re not alone. And if you’ve only put on a few — consider yourself lucky.

A study by the American Psychological Association (APA) conducted at the end of February found that 61% of American adults experienced undesired weight gain or loss since the pandemic began. More than 40% of those responding to the poll experienced weight gain they never intended. That 40% gained an average of 29 pounds. Median weight gain was 15 pounds. And 10% of respondents said they gained more than 50 pounds — a staggering number in one year’s time.

So, here we are. Spring is springing, vaccinations are happening, the weather is warming up and you want to lose some of those pandemic pounds. But where do you begin?

In Colorado there’s no shortage of ways to keep fit, but even in a state consistently ranking near the top in physical well-being of its residents, taking that first step along the path to fitness can be daunting.

Allison Westfahl has been a fitness pro for almost 20 years. Currently,

A boxing class at TruFusion in Denver. she’s the general manager for Tru Fusion, a fitness studio that brings all the boutique disciplines — yoga, cycling, barre, pilates, boot camp, boxing, TRX, meditation and more — together under one roof, and all in classes — no independent fitness floor.

a rough time to open a business, Westfahl said, but a time when it was much needed.

“It became clear to us that it was more important than ever, during a pandemic, for people to have a place where they can take care of themselves physically, emotionally

and mentally,” she said. “So, we opened in September to 25% restrictions, and our classes were full with a waitlist by the end of the first month.”

She said they’re still under size SEE FITNESS, P15

restrictions to keep everyone distanced and safe. A class that in a pre-pandemic world would have 75 participants, right now only accommodates around 23.

Group dynamic helps Westfahl thinks the group dynamic that attendees get in a class, along with instructors who are involved in their clients’ success, can help people stay accountable in their fitness quest. But for people just getting back into the groove, she thinks being kind to your body and moving forward slowly is key.

“I’m hearing and seeing a lot of people just beating themselves up over putting on weight or not working out for the past year like they usually do — I see a lot of people scolding themselves for that — so, my biggest piece of advice would be to approach whatever happened over the past year with your fitness routine with grace and forgiveness,” she said. “None of us probably reached any fitness records over the past year, so just let that be in the rear-view mirror and continue to move forward.”

Just getting started is a common refrain among those in the know.

Westfahl also offers up this bit of wisdom, no matter the activity you start with.

“Make sure it’s something that you love,” she says. “When it comes to fitness and wellness, there’s so many options out there — don’t do something that you hate. Find something that you love and you’re going to be much more likely to stick with it.”

Meaghan Doherty has been doing fitness for 25 years, and teaching boot camps for the last six. She’s been able to ride the pandemic wave by moving her classes outdoors when necessary, doing online instruction when she had to, and being fortunate enough to teach in a facility she describes as the size of four warehouses.

She’s hoping that as COVID numbers get better, people will begin to feel better about getting back into the gym. She typically teaches early mornings, with class times that start between 5-8 a.m. plus a noon class for those late risers. Her clients, she says, run the gamut in

age from 22 to 71, and she modifies routines for everyone.

Her advice for people is to get a set of weights — nothing heavy, just something that will activate your muscles. A daily walk is also something she thinks will benefit those trying to get back in the swing of things — even 10 minutes per day.

“Just start — is my advice,” she says. “I don’t care if you go for a walk, ride a spin bike or go to the park to play Frisbee — just get yourself moving and start. Get those endorphins going and I guarantee you will do more and more every day.”

Frustration with weight Doherty said in her experience, weight gain can give people a sense of frustration and that can lead to procrastination.

She also wants people to be realistic with their expectations about dropping those pounds, because they typically go on a lot faster than they come off. And in her opinion, adding some weights to your cardio routine will help your body burn fat more quickly than cardio alone.

Doherty, also an M.D., is happy to offer nutrition information to her clients if they ask. She thinks every diet works — the question is, which diet works for you?

“There are so many (diet) options out there. You just have to figure out what works for your daily lifestyle, and what you can actually stick with,” she says.

If the thought of weights and cardio seems a bit much as you restart

your fitness journey, fear not. This article is equal opportunity.

Leslie Conzemius is a registered nurse and integrative health coach who co-organized the popular Yoga in the Park at Denver’s City Park.

She says Yoga in the Park began to promote yoga in nature, build community and have yoga be accessible to all. Before COVID, it was always held outside. But with the pandemic, it detoured into an online Zoom model.

Conzemius, a former professional dancer and choreographer, said her hobbies and passions have always focused on dance and movement, so yoga was a natural progression.

She’s been teaching yoga since 2016.

“I love spreading the benefits of yoga,” she says. “Not only what it gives you in that hour (of practicing) but also what it brings to the rest of your daily life.”

Stress reduction, how to breathe and even just being kinder to yourself and bringing gratitude to daily life are some of the benefits she thinks yoga can offer.

Return to park possible Conzemius says this spring, Yoga in the Park is looking into the permitting process to bring yoga back to the park, while making sure it’s done safely. But she’s happy to pass along tips for anyone who’s struggled during the pandemic and wants to make a fresh fitness start.

“I really love the science of behavior change, and that’s what I focus on with my clients,” she

says. “Because we can know that we need to exercise, and have all of the knowledge, but it doesn’t mean we’re doing it.”

She has three pieces of advice for people looking to make a change for the better in their health. She agrees with Westfahl that finding something you love doing is paramount.

“There are so many different things you can do, and so many ways to move your body — with people, alone, in classes, over Zoom, hopefully soon in person, sports, walking — and all of them are good,” she says. “And for any length of time is good.”

Conzemius’ second piece of advice is: “Everything counts.”

She says 150 minutes of exercise per week is the standard, but she would put those rules aside for people just starting out or starting over.

“Five minutes of stretching or a 20-minute walk — it (getting started) doesn’t have to mean an hour in the gym,” she says. “A lot of little moments can add up. Even things like playing with your kids, mopping the floor or gardening can be really beneficial for our bodies.”

Her third piece of advice is to celebrate.

“Celebrate your successes. People often focus on what they didn’t do, as opposed to what they did do,” she says. “Be very intentional about celebrating your wins, however small.

Pat yourself on the back. Wink at yourself in the mirror. Tell somebody what you did, because then your brain will remember it and get that signal and want to do it again, and it builds motivation.”

She said it’s important to talk to yourself the way you would talk to a friend — with encouragement and support — not unhealthy criticism.

It’s clear from chatting with these three local fitness pros that being kind to yourself and starting slow, but starting soon, will help you ease back into pre-pandemic shape, or maybe even better.

Castle Rock pizza shops share a slice of profits, food Pizza competitors come together to support each other during a tough time

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Angie Trano Wurm of Granelli’s Pizza, left, presents Robin Crooks of 212 Pizza in Castle PHOTO BY THELMA GRIMES Rock with a $4,000 check.

Granelli’s Pizzeria and 212 Pizza Co. in Castle Rock suspended competition to team up in a time of need. The two companies agreed to share profits and food after 212 Pizza Co. was required to close due to a COVID-19 case.

On March 26, Robins Crooks, co-owner of 212 Pizza, said a staff member contracted COVID which in turn required the business to shut down for 10 days.

To avoid wasting food, Crooks said she offered to donate all of her produce to Granelli’s Pizza.

Angie Trano Wurm, owner of Granelli’s, said she was on vacation when her general manager called to tell her 212 had to shut down. She said she told the general manager to write a check for the food supplies and was shocked when Crooks refused payment.

Wurm contacted Crooks and proposed that she promote Granelli’s website on the 212 Pizza Co. website during the closure and they share

the profits for a day.

Soon, word spread in Castle Rock about what Granelli’s was doing to help a neighboring business.

With lines and call-in orders stacking up, Wurm said they had customers coming from Pueblo, Thornton and Boulder just to help the two businesses.

On March 31, Wurm presented Crooks with a $4,000 check. Wurm said she had hoped it was more, as Crooks said the gesture meant so much more than the money.

“It gives me chills,” Wurm said.

“I had no idea it would turn into something so amazing. This country has been through so much this last year. There are so many struggling businesses, we have to help each other.”

Crooks said having to shut down is tough on every business, estimating she lost about $30,000 over the 10-day period. She reopened on April 1.

“Something like this to a business is huge,” she said. “It is just devastating.”

Crooks said one of the biggest stressors through it all is that she has 36 part-time and full-time employees who went without a job for 10 days. Crooks said her goal is to find a nonprofit or governmentsupport program that can replenish some of the lost wages.

Tips in planting a vegetable garden

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

t’s As flowers begin blooming and the signs of spring emerge, many begin thinking about the summer vegetable garden. The master gardeners through Colorado State University Extension have created a guide to how and when all of summer’s favorite fruits and vegetables should be planted.

At the start, the master gardeners say understanding Colorado’s climate is important before seeds go in the ground. According to the Colorado Vegetable Guide, the state’s climate presents a lot of challenges for gardening, starting with the range in elevation, which can go from 4,000 to 12,000 feet.

With a clear atmosphere, low humidity,

intense sunlight and extreme variations in precipitation and temperatures gardening in Colorado is unique.

According to the guide, a successful vegetable garden can be directly impacted by the length of the growing season. The average last-killing frost in the spring can range from mid-May to as late as July. The first-killing frost in the fall can come as early as August.

The unpredictable weather in Colorado can cause growing season to be as short as 30 days or as much as 150 days.

While cool-season crops can survive a frost and thrive through cold weather, warm-weather fruits and vegetables do not fair as well in unexpected frosts.

For this reason, the gardeners with CU Extension recommend holding off on planting the warm-season seeds until the danger of frost passes.

The gardening guide, which can be found online at extension.colostate. edu, not only looks at specific plants,

but it also focuses on what Coloradans need in soil, which in this state can lack adequate organic materials.

Tips for planting some summer favorites include: Carrots • Cool-season crop • Sun exposure – full sun • Soil condition - Do not use fresh manure to amend the soil in a carrot bed (or in any root crop bed).

It can cause tough skins and hairy roots. Carrots grow best in loose, sandy soil; they are not able to germinate properly if there is crusting of clay soil.

• Irrigation needs – consistent moisture is key especially for germination.

• Mulching – if mulching, wait until after seedlings are up. Mulch can help prevent greening of the carrot shoulders.

Cucumber • Warm-season crop • Sun exposure – At least 8 hours of sun is necessary.

• Soil condition – Well amended soil with good drainage.

• Irrigation needs – Avoid soggy soil. Irrigate to keep soil moist to a depth of 10 inches; dry soil may cause deformed fruit.

• Mulching – Mulch can be beneficial but only after the plant is established.

Eggplant • Warm season plant • Sun exposure – full sun but site should be protected from wind.

• Soil condition – well amended soil, apply fertilizer when planting if necessary.

• Irrigation needs – once established can tolerate less regular watering.

• Mulching – can create a wire cage wrapped with plastic to combat drying winds, mulch with straw or grass to retain soil moisture.

Horseradish • A perennial crop that can be replanted every year or every few years.

• Sun exposure – Full sun but can tolerate some shade.

• Soil condition – Tolerates a variety of soils.

• Irrigation needs – Less water increases the intensity of flavor.

• Mulching – Deep organic mulch is beneficial.

Melons • Warm-season crop and can be difficult to transplant. In most of Colorado it is wise to seek out varieties with a short growing season.

• Sun exposure – Full sun • Soil condition – Soil temperatures need to be at least 75° for best germination. Well amended soil is best.

• Irrigation needs – Keep soil moist 8-10 inches deep. Be careful when cultivating as some roots are close to the surface.

• Mulching – Mulch can be useful but not necessary.

Onions • Warm-season plant that tolerates cool weather so their long season can be manageable. Seek out long day or day-neutral varieties.

• Sun exposure – Full sun • Soil condition – Onions prefer more clay soils, but high in nitrogen. If needed work fertilizer into soil prior to planting.

• Irrigation needs – Moist but not wet, onion roots will not tolerate being water-logged.

• Mulching – Can be done, not necessary.

Peppers • Warm season crop. Two main types: sweet and hot.

• Sun exposure – Full sun, although shade cloth can

• • •

be beneficial to prevent sunburn on the fruit.

Soil condition – Well amended soil, amend with fertilizer prior to planting if needed, and again midseason to encourage fruit production.

Irrigation needs – Keep soil moist to a shovel depth (10 inches).

Mulching – Plastic mulch can warm the soil and encourage rapid growth.

Summer Squash/ Zucchini (zucchini, patty pan, etc.)

• They have tender flesh and can be harvested through much of the season.

• Sun exposure – Full sun • Soil condition – Prefers a light soil but tolerates a well amended soil. High nutrients levels are beneficial.

• Irrigation needs – Water regularly. Do not let your plants dry out, can cause fruit to be deformed.

Plants will wilt during hot days, if they recover, they are getting sufficient moisture.

• Mulching – Plants respond well to plastic mulch to help warm the soil.

Tomatoes Determinate/Indeterminate • Tomatoes are a warm season plant; the favorite of many gardener’s vegetable plots.

• Sun exposure - Select a site in your garden where the plants will get at least 8 hours of sunlight each day and where the soil will warm up early in the spring.

• Soil condition - Prepare the tomato bed by adding organic matter and fertilizer based on soil test recommendations; spade it in at least 12 inches (preferably more).

• Irrigation needs - From time of transplant to late August, keep soil moist to about 12 inches. Do not let soil dry out.

• Mulching – mulch once the plant has established.

Tips to attract the good insects, detract the bad

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

ith help from the expert gardeners at the Colorado University Extension project, local gardeners can create an environment that attracts butterflies and bees and detracts destructive insects.

Butterfly gardens According to the Extension project, there are dozens of butterfly species commonly found along the front range. While most butterflies stop by gardens for a drink, there are steps to take to prolong their stay.

The Extension project recommends providing the proper environment, which includes adding food plants used by caterpillars, food sources used by the adult butterflies, and physical environment.

Butterflies prefer some shelter from the high winds common along the Front Range. They also like open, sunny areas. This means planting windbreak plants or providing other shelter options, which provides a suitable physical environment.

Certain butterflies, especially males, can be seen on moist sand or mud collecting around puddles of water where they feed.

Female butterflies spend a lot of time searching for food plants required by immature caterpillar stages.

Caterpillars of the monarch butterfly develop only on milkweed. The black swallowtail butterfly feeds on parsley, dill and related plants.

When a female finds the proper host plant, they will

lay eggs. This makes it important to provide necessary food plants for developing caterpillars.

Food for adult butterflies includes sweet liquids, such as nectar from flowers that provide energy. Some flowers contain more nectar, and are more attractive to butterflies. Bright-colored flowers are also more

attractive to butterflies.

The Extension master gardeners recommend creating large patches of flower gardens that bloom in CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

sequence. This is particularly important during summer when butterflies visit more frequently. Flowers and flowering shrubs are good choices.

Attracting native bees In Colorado, there are more than 946 native bee species. Of all pollinators in gardens, bees are the most common and efficient.

To create a proper bee habitat, just like humans, bees and other pollinators need food, water, shelter and space to support a robust bee population.

While honey bees are social and live in large colonies, 90% of native bee species are actually solitary. Another 70% of these nest underground in the soil.

When considering shelter and vegetation for native bees, it is best to plant in layers. It is important to establish structure as the first layer of trees and shrubs. The next step is to add perennials, grasses and groundcovers as further layers in the landscape.

To provide a drinking source, gardeners can provide a shallow dish filled with pebbles and water to allow bees and other insects to drink.

Insect control To control unwanted insects, the experts at Colorado Extension recommend a variety of options, starting with horticulture oils. A variety of oils, diluted with water can be applied or sprayed on plants to effectively control many plant pests.

Horticulture oils are refined petroleum oils combined with an emulsifying agent.

According to the Extension guide, the advantages of oils include safety, effectiveness and limited effects on beneficial insects.

It is important not to use oils on sensitive plants, and to remember that plants under drought stress may

concentration of about 2%. have increased risk of injury.

A

s with tradition, spring is one of the best times of the year to evaluate a home. Think about the paint color in the kitchen, living room and bathrooms. Consider where a vase of bright-colored flowers will liven things up. Ask yourself if the heavier comforter should be stowed away and replaced with a quilt featuring spring colors and designs.

Painting – Spring is the best time of year to look at the home’s dingy walls and decide if a room could use an entire refresh, or the addition of an accent wall. As with most years, green is a popular spring color used to brighten rooms. While green is a go-to color, yellows and blues are also popular in spring.

House plants – If some plants did not quite make it through the winter, spring is a good time to

Sisters spark competition on the volleyball court Siblings play different positions but share competitive drive

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One opinion you often hear from many athletes is that the team is like a family.

For the Chaparral girls volleyball squad, the team is literally like a family.

There are two pairs of sisters on this year’s varsity. Junior Savannah Salter and her sophomore sister Briannah play for the Wolverines along with junior Sydni Brandon and her younger sister, sophomore Makenzie.

Last season sisters Katie and Julianna Dalton were members on

Chap’s team along with their cousin Emma Ammerman.

“It’s kind of weird,” admitted Wolverines coach Amanda West. “I don’t predict it happening often, but it’s fun that they are a year apart to be able to have them on the same team and have the parent support. It’s really fun, and I would say that about the girls from last year too.

“They get along really well on and off the court,” West continued about the sisters on the 2021 roster. “It’s very refreshing and I think it’s beneficial to be able to go home and talk over dinner like about what’s going on, how can I improve here, what are you seeing? Because they play different positions, the competition isn’t there and they can really support each other.”

Savannah Salter, an outside hitter, and Briannah, a middle blocker, have played together before on club

and beach volleyball teams.

“It used to be a lot harder but now it’s a little bit easier because we are more focused on the game rather than with each other,” said Savannah. “Once in a while there will be a play where maybe something happens and I’ll let the ball drop or she’ll let the ball drop and you have a miscommunication. Sometimes we’ll argue but it is usually off the court.’’

The Salter sisters are competitive.

“We’re pretty competitive even at home like when we are playing a board game or something,” said Savannah. “We’re very competitive with each other sometimes we fight about that but most of the time we’re pretty good.”

Savannah and Briannah have several classes together in school.

“The more we’ve got to play together it has gotten better,” said

Briannah. “We go over homework or whatever we are doing at home and we hang out a lot too.”

This season is the first time the Brandon sisters have played together.

“I really like playing with my sister,” said Sydni. “We don’t really play a lot together but we get along really well. I now have an extra support system and we get to help each other.

“If we have something to correct, she can always correct me. When we watch film she tells me what I do wrong. I’m really competitive. And yes, it carries over the dinner table at home.”

Makenzie likes having her sister around.

“This is the first year we’ve actually been playing together,” she said.

“It’s been like an extra set of eyes for me.”

4. PROVIDE A DETAILED OUTLINE OF WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TOWARD COMPLETION OR FOR COMPLETION OF THE APPROPRIATION AND APPLICATION OF WATER TO A BENEFICIAL USE AS CONDITIONALLY DECREED, INCLUDING EXPENDITURES, DURING THE PREVIOUS DILIGENCE PERIOD. Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-301(4)(b), the measure of reasonable diligence is the steady application of effort to complete the appropriation in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner under all the facts and circumstances. When a project or integrated system is comprised of several features, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the entire project or system.

Project Specific Efforts Including Integrated PWP Project. Pursuant to Paragraph 29 of the Original Decree, the Subject Water Rights will be operated as part of Aurora’s Prairie Waters Project (“PWP”).

Public input needed on housing, development Castle Rock aims to craft plan that HUD will approve STAFF REPORT

Last year, the Castle Rock Town Council accepted entitlement status to be eligible to receive an allocation of Community Block Development Grant (CBDG) funding

provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grant can be used to revitalize neighborhoods, expand affordable housing, offer economic opportunities and improve community facilities and services.

The town conducted a survey in partnership with Douglas County to collect resident input on needs within the community. To gather additional input, two virtual public

meetings were scheduled for 6 p.m. on April 12 and April 15. Links to the virtual meetings can be found at CRgov.com/CDBG. As part of the CDBG program, the town must develop a 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan that outlines needs regarding housing and community developments. Goals are then created to address the needs.

Upon HUD approval of the plan, funds will be available starting Oct.

1.

The plan encourages resident participation and especially emphasizes participation by people who will benefit from the program in areas where the town proposes to use the CDBG funds.

Visit CRgov.com/CDBG for more information and updates. If you have questions about CDBG, contact Matt Gohl at mgohl@crgov.com or 303-660-1359.

Museum celebrates elegant wardrobe, lifestyle Veronique and Gregory Peck had influence on fashion

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Charmeuse, jacquard, organza, surah are among the fabrics included in Denver Art Museum’s current exhibition of “Paris to Hollywood: The Fashion and Influence of Veronique and Gregory Peck,” which includes 100 ensembles from the wardrobe of Veronique Peck and continues through July 18. This collection should interest not only fashion lovers, but history buffs, who can contemplate the events the Pecks may have attended ...

Florence Muller, DAM’s curator of textile art and fashion, was contacted by the couple’s daughter, Cecilia Peck Voll, who gave 20 of Veronique’s distinctive looks to the museum, loaned others and assisted in collecting items to complete the 100 ensembles exhibited. They were

designed by couturiers and designers around the world for the Parisian journalist, philanthropist and fashion influencer Veronique Peck. Voll also loaned personal documents, accessories, photographs and insights.

Veronique’s parents, a Paris architect and a Russian artist, encouraged their daughter’s interest in politics and science, as well as in the latest trends in art, theatre, literature — and the best restaurants.

Gregory Peck was visiting Paris in 1952, en route to the filming of “Roman Holiday” with Audrey Hepburn, and was scheduled for an interview with the young journalist, Veronique Passani. (French American 19322012).

On his return trip, he invited her to lunch, which caused her to give up an interview with Nobel Laureate Albert Schweitzer. The glamorous pair married in 1955 and the romance continued until his death in 2003.

“Paris to Hollywood ...” includes not only the ensembles Veronique wore, but sketches (which were at times sent to her if she was not in Paris and created for her if she was

Materials exhibited cover a period from the 1950s to the 1990s. (There is a Gregory Peck suit included.)

Veronique Peck followed her parents on a path that included an interest in the arts, political science, theatre, literature, restaurants and of course, couturiers and their related houses: Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy and more ... She is credited with introducing controversial pants suits and miniskirts by Courreges in the U.S in the 1960s, which soon became immensely popular among American women.
