Officials defend reporting of COVID-19 death toll Polis, health department respond to GOP lawmaker’s claim of inflation

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a Colorado lawmaker questioned the state’s reporting of how many Coloradans have died from COVID-19, Gov. Jared Polis said he was frustrated with the discrepancy as well.

When Polis found out that people who tested positive but died of something else were included in the state’s death total, he said officials should report that total to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as is standard, but should also report to the public the lower

A day earlier, a Douglas County state lawmaker requested that the area’s district attorney investigate the state health department, accusing the agency of illegally changing death certificates.

State Rep. Mark Baisley, a Republican from Roxborough Park, made the request to 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler in a letter dated May 14, after a family forwarded Baisley a letter from a Centennial senior living facility that raised the question. The letter was from the senior living facility to residents.

County gets OK to reopen restaurants, Park Meadows Houses of worship also covered by state variance order

BY MARK HARDEN MHARDEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s top public-health official agreed May 22 to allow the im-

The approval came in a two-page letter from Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, to the Board of Douglas County Commissioners.

The letter was in response to a request to the CDPHE by commissioners for a waiver from state requirements imposed during the coronavirus crisis that would allow the facilities to reopen.

In her letter, Ryan said the waiver “is limited to the operations of the Park Meadows Mall, ... restaurants, houses of worship, and gyms; in all other respects, the requirements of the Safer at Home Executive Order and Public Health Order remain in effect for Douglas County.”

But along with her variance, Ryan set various limits on occupancy. She said confined indoor spaces must be restricted to 50% of their posted occupancy-code limit not to exceed 175 people at a time.

She also said each person in an indoor space must have at least 28 square feet of space around them.

County officials in seeking the variance had proposed that restaurants would require employees to wear masks, while patrons would wear masks until seated. Restaurants also would encourage diners to make advance reservations and wait outside until their table is ready. And seating would be limited to 10 per table for families and six for mixed groups.

At houses of worship, masks would be required under the county proposal, although congregants could remove them once inside if they are farther than 6 feet from anyone else.

As for Park Meadows, Ryan’s letter stated: “It is critical that the indoor common areas be wellmanaged at all times such that

no gatherings are occurring and instead customers are moving from one destination to the next, and admitted into each confined indoor retail space as permitted based on 50% occupancy of that confined indoor space.”

Following the state order, the mall opened up its interior corridors for the first time in two months on May 24, and about 30 of its stores welcomed patrons.

Mall executives and local officials have pushed to reopen the interior corridors of the mall to allow shoppers to access stores that lack outdoor entrances for in-person shopping. Some of the mall’s anchor tenants and other stores have already reopened on a limited basis.

The Douglas County variance will remain in effect until statewide restrictions are lifted, barring a new surge in cases in the county.

On May 25, Gov. Jared Polis announced the state would allow restaurants across Colorado to resume in-person service on May 27 with various restrictions.

“On behalf of our board I wish to express our thanks to all involved in the preparation and review of these documents including our business community, Tri-County Health Department, our hospitals and the CDPHE,” commission Chair Roger Partridge said in a statement to Colorado Community Media.

“We are especially grateful to the citizens of Douglas County for adhering to the behaviors that led to the favorable public health data that supported this outcome,” Partridge said.

In addition to the county variance request, leaders of Douglas County’s two largest cities — Castle Rock and Parker — had urged Polis to expedite the reopening of restricted businesses in separate letters.

undue fear for families,” Baisley’s letter to Brauchler said.

The letter from Someren Glen, a senior living community with multiple levels of care, stated that the state health department planned to “override some of our attending physician’s rulings and reclassify some resident passings.”

In the health department’s news release, the department “emphasized that it does not unilaterally change information on death certificates and does not question or try to change a physician’s diagnosis or causes-of-death determination.”

It is not uncommon for state officials to use definitions that differ from death certificate coding, Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist, told reporters on a May 20 news conference call.

As of May 15, the state reported 1,150 deaths among people who have COVID-19. The number of deaths confirmed to have been caused by COVID-19 was 878 as of May 9, as reported by the CDC, according to the news release. The data the state shares online, and to the CDC, is shared for disease-tracking purposes, the release said.

As of May 21 — reporting numbers received through May 20 — the Colorado totals had grown to 1,310 deaths among people who had COVID-19 and 1,062 deaths due to

COVID-19.

“I think the more information we can provide, the greater the public trust, and we always want to err on the side of (transparency),” Polis said at the May 20 news conference.

The state’s COVID-19 website “didn’t have racial data; we added that. It didn’t have enough geographic data; we added that.”

Neither method of counting deaths accounts for “people that we missed altogether, that probably died from COVID that aren’t included in any number because they haven’t been confirmed by a coroner or autopsy,” Polis said at a May 18 news conference.

He added: “The only number that’s not reported are the ones we don’t know about because we don’t know

about them.”

The DA’s office announced May 15 that it would look into whether any death certificates were “willfully and falsely altered,” according to a release from the office. Misdemeanor charges could be filed if so.

The DA’s office had not given any updates about the case as of the morning of May 22, according to Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for the office. She did not confirm whether the DA’s office was investigating the claim at that time.

“As always, at the conclusion of any legal proceedings, District Attorney Brauchler will be eager to answer any and all questions,” the office’s May 15 release said. “The integrity of the judicial process must come first.”

Class of 2020: together, apart

“One of the toughest parts of going through this uncertain time has been trying to stay positive. Each day is a new opportunity to improve myself and the world around me, despite the uncertainty of the end result. ... It is important to be able to view difficulty as opportunity in disguise and try to make the most of every day despite uncertainty that the future holds.”

— Caitlin Kim, Chaparral High School, Parker

“This experience has taught me the importance of family. ...

I have also learned to stay positive. There are things in life we can’t control. This situation is definitely one of them. I have to remind myself that things will get better and that it’s best to see the brighter side of these situations.”

— Ushmi Akruwala, Highlands Ranch High School

“The biggest takeaway from this is to really cut out what you don’t love.

Throughout this quarantine, there have been activities that I have realized I never truly felt happy doing, and there are activities that I miss more than anything. As long as we can come out of this with a better understanding about ourselves, I think we will all be able to work towards a better future.”

— Hunter Ball, Legend High School, Parker

“Nothing is guaranteed in life.

We all experienced how drastically everything changed in a matter of days. There may not always be an opportunity for tomorrow, so it is important to not make excuses and act in the present.”

— Nithyashri Eswaran, Mountain Vista High School, Highlands Ranch

“It will be hard once this whole thing has passed to see the next class get to experience everything that we did not. I was looking forward to my senior lacrosse season with such excitement and it was heartwrenching to have it ripped out from under me. Although, it is somewhat comforting to know that every senior in the country is going through this same trial.”

— Joey Rasmussen, Lutheran High School, Parker

“Often, we are concerned with what we are missing out on, or we hope for more ideal situations in life before we can be happy, but this is not a practical mindset. I’ve found it much more helpful to analyze what’s going on in my life and then figure out what steps I can take from where I am at to reach my goals. Oftentimes, you have to align the stars yourself.”

— Ethan Montgomery, STEM School Highlands Ranch

“The hardest part about this pandemic is the distance we are forced to put between each other.

We’ve had to find new ways to offer support to those that we love. It’s forced us to adapt so that we may stand apart, together.”

— Sarah Sams, Douglas County High School, Castle Rock

MORE FROM THE GRADS These and many other 2020 graduate have more to say at coloradocommunitymedia.com.

“From this crisis, I have learned purpose, independence and self-care.

This crisis reinforced the importance of mental health. I have developed new strategies like running and meditation that will help me get through hard times throughout my life.

— Melanie Zhou, ThunderRidge High School, Highlands Ranch “I learned how much our community can adapt.

It gives me hope to see our community rallying together to support one another. ... Sometimes, my generation feels like the world is full of horrible people, but in these moments, it shows us that the world is good and full of good people.”

— Krista Luttkus, Renaissance Secondary School, Castle Rock “This pandemic is a great example of how uncertain life is and how important it is to take every day as a gift and never go without telling people you love them. So many things in life go unappreciated and I hope that after all this ends we all learn to appreciate everything, no mat-

ter how big or small.”

— Amelia Greek, Castle View High School, Castle Rock

“My greatest lesson learned is to grieve the loss of our senior year and all of the ‘lasts,’ but to focus on the future and all of the adventures and opportunities ahead.”

— Grant Ferry, Rock Canyon High School, Highlands Ranch

Food bank ‘feeding the masses’ amid plunging food gifts As need soars, aid organization gets creative; future uncertain

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With tens of thousands of Denverarea residents out of work amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Integrated Family Community Services, one of the area’s largest food banks, has seen its client load skyrocket.

The southwest Denver organization is now serving up to 3,200 people a month, a 1,600% increase from normal for this time of year, said outreach director Todd McPherson.

“The floodgates opened,” McPherson said. “We’re truly feeding the masses here.”

As the ranks of the needy swelled, IFCS did what it has done for more than 50 years: Adapt.

While clients normally grab a cart and “shop” the food bank’s shelves, the organization has switched to prepackaged food boxes, sent out the door on a conveyor belt.

Clients no longer must fill out forms, or prove need or residency to receive food.

“The last thing we want to do is put someone through the gauntlet of red tape,” McPherson said. “Now, you call, tell us you’re coming, pull up, and

IFCS associate development director Sarah Rutledge pushes food boxes along a conveyor belt to clients on May 21. The south Denver food bank has seen need skyrocket in recent months.

DAVID GILBERT boom, you’ve got your food. Doesn’t matter who you are. There’s nothing to prove. Hungry people are hungry people.”

The food bank is a godsend to Jose Hernandez, a father of five who was making his second visit to IFCS on May 21.

“It’s an awful feeling” to see bare cabinets, said Hernandez, a countertop installer who has been out of work since March and has had a hard time accessing unemployment benefits. “As a father, you feel that big responsibility to provide. These guys are keeping my kids fed. I’m really grateful.”

In order to keep its often elderly vol-

unteers safe, IFCS sent everyone home except eight paid staff members, who are handling the deluge themselves.

At the same time, the institutions that normally run food drives -churches, schools, offices -- are closed.

Monetary donations have dwindled as people still working are watching their budgets. With bans on large gatherings, IFCS is unable to hold inperson fundraising events that net big checks from philanthropists.

With the flow of donations drying up, IFCS beefed up its relationship with Food Bank of the Rockies, bringing in food by the pallet instead of the bag. Next, they struck deals with food

manufacturers and school districts whose normal avenues of distribution are interrupted.

The arrangements mean some people receive odd items -- five-pound sacks of meatballs, jumbo-size pork roasts, sacks of marinara sauce meant for cafeterias -- but the important thing is they’re going home with food.

“We’re hoping people can share with others in need,” McPherson said.

Thanks to other arrangements, clients also receive boxes of fresh produce, and parents can request diapers, formula and milk. Eggs and bread are on the menu too.

To make sure hungry families receive well-rounded nutrition, IFCS is also raiding its stockpile of shelf-stable foods intended for the winter holidays.

“We don’t know what we’ll do come Thanksgiving and Christmas,” McPherson said. “That food is all flying out the door.”

In order to make room for food stockpiles, the group’s clothing bank is suspended. The status of other programs, like school supply distribution in late summer, is unclear.

The future may be uncertain, but for now, IFCS staff are simply grateful they can help keep bellies full, McPherson said.

“Some people tell us they’re embarrassed to be here,” McPherson said.

“They say they feel dirty coming to a food bank. Why? Everyone needs help sometimes, and these are strange times. That’s what we’re here for.”

Douglas County restaurants hopeful for future

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Perched on a hilltop at the southern edge of the Denver metro area, Lone Tree restaurant Sierra boasts vistas of the city, swanky dining rooms, large outdoor patios, and enough seating for up to 350 guests.

But on May 18, towers of chairs sat stacked up, tables lay bare and the building stood empty except for a handful of masked employees cooking takeout and delivery orders.

Sierra’s sales have been ringing in at roughly 10% of its usual business amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which kept Colorado restaurants closed to dine-in service for roughly two months.

Douglas County restaurants got some good news May 22 when state health officials granted a county request for a variance, allowing eateries to resume dine-in service with restrictions on party size and rules on face masks and table spacing.

Under the variance, county restaurants can operate at 50% of their posted occupancy-code limit, and rules for spacing and mask use were imposed.

On May 25, Gov. Jared Polis said restaurants statewide could resume in-person dining at 50% capacity as of May 27.

Before these orders, Sierra’s cofounder and owner Mark Brinkerhoff said full-service restaurants like his, which already operate on tight mar-

Sierra typically employs 100 people but during the pandemic shutdown it kept 10 to 15 people working in staggered shifts. On May 18, masked workers cooked up takeout and delivery orders.

soon with the return of dine-in service.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said May 21 that he hoped that restaurants across Colorado might be able to reopen for sit-down service soon under final guidelines not yet issued at press time.

Under earlier draft guidelines released May 19, Colorado restaurant employees would have to wear a face covering at all times as would customers, unless they are eating or drinking. Employees would also be required to wear gloves and have their temperatures checked and logged each day.

Party sizes would be limited to six people or less, and there would have to be a minimum of 8 feet spacing between tables. Draft guidelines also would require tables to be sanitized after each customer.

Polis also has encouraged Colorado restaurants to consider expanding outside seating options for patrons.

“It’s a step in the right direction,” Brinkerhoff said of the return to dinein service, even with restrictions. “We can bring back some of our workforce.

We can serve our community.”

Before the May 22 variance, Sierra had 10 to 15 employees working but expected to bring back 50 with limited sit-down service, Brinkerhoff said.

The restaurant typically employs 100 people.

Douglas County commissioners said that in light of Douglas County’s low case and death rate, they are confident Douglas County can safely operate restaurants.

As of May 15, there were 632 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the county, according to state health department data. That’s nearly 3% of cases statewide and 0.17% of the county’s population.

There are at least 39 deaths related to COVID-19 in Douglas County, ac-

cording to the Tri-County Health Department.

The county’s five hospitals submitted letters in support of re-opening restaurants with precautions, stating they had capacity to handle a spike in COVID-19 cases should that occur.

Brinkerhoff said he is confident restaurants in Douglas County can safely operate if they abide by public health guidelines.

He pointed to an April survey by the Colorado Restaurant Association that found three out of four restaurant employees in Colorado had lost their jobs and 50% of the state’s restaurants were closed at that time.

County Commissioner Abe Laydon said he has worked with the Brinkerhoff family for roughly two weeks, as the Brinkerhoffs represent a working group of more than 70 local restaurants. Laydon’s goal was to get feedback on what restaurants needs to safely reopen and reignite a sustainable business model.

FUTURE FROM PAGE 6

Officials acknowledge that the county is relying on the public to be responsible amid the pandemic. They advise that high-risk and older individuals should continue living under stay-at-home guidelines. People who are sick should stay away from the public. Anyone displaying COVID-19 symptoms should isolate.

Douglas County found itself at the center of controversy this month when a Castle Rock restaurant opened to dine-in service, defying state orders.

The restaurant, C&C Coffee and Kitchen, garnered national attention on May 10 by offering in-person dining to large Mother’s Day crowds.

Few people work masks and patrons

packed the shop.

The restaurant was ordered to close by the Tri-County Health Department and the state later suspended its business license indefinitely.

As a member of the restaurant industry, Brinkerhoff said he was disappointed to see photos of the reopenings showed people at the restaurants did not follow social distancing, such as wearing masks or staying six feet apart. That behavior does not help efforts to reopen, he said.

Still, Brinkerhoff said he can’t judge the businesses for reopening without knowing details of their financial situation.

And he believes the incident, whether good or bad, sparked a conversation about stresses on the restaurant industry, put pressure on the government to help out more and created a sense of urgency around the issue.

Sierra ownership pushed for Douglas County to include bar seating in a variance the county requested from the state’s safer-at-home order.

PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS

Sierra restaurant in Lone Tree remained open for takeout and delivery during the COVID-19 shutdown but only did about 10% its normal business during that time, ownership said. Douglas County successfully sought a waiver that allowed restaurants to reopen for dine-in service this month.

Sierra offers views of the surroudning area and expansive patio seating. Ownership had hoped that Douglas County could get a variance to reopen restaurants for dine-in service this month, which was granted May 22.

ilver Leaf Mortgage is proud to announce they have partnered with the Forever Home Foundation, whose mission is “Helping Severely At-Risk Seniors stay safe in their homes or in the Care facilities they live in throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.”

We recognize that many seniors, and especially seniors with underlying health conditions are fighting to survive during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have found themselves without resources and people to rely on for assistance. Most people don’t realize that even simple tasks like a trip to the grocery store or doctor’s office can be life-threatening or even fatal.

Until a mainstream vaccine is available, seniors will not be able to get their lives back to normal.

With the COVID-19 Community Outreach Program we are raising funds to help provide assistance, supplies and more to seniors to help them stay safe and live

as normal of life as possible during these unprecedented times.

Alleged Tri-County vandal has attention-seeking past Pesch made headlines in 2017 for apparent false murder confession

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The man who police say repeatedly vandalized Tri-County Health Department’s Aurora offices and threatened staff over the COVID-19 shutdowns has a long history of attention-seeking behavior involving law enforcement — including confessing to a high-profile murder case in Elbert County that ended with dropped charges in 2019.

Dan Pesch, 36, was arrested by Aurora police on May 18 on suspicion of one count of criminal mischief, a class 5 felony, and misdemeanor counts of harassment and defacing property.

Pesch remained in custody at the Arapahoe County jail as of May 21.

His bond, originally set at $50,000, was reduced to $5,000 on May 20. His next scheduled court appearance is set for June 23.

According to an affidavit in the case, police believe Pesch threw rocks through windows at Tri-County Health’s offices at Chambers Road SEE PESCH, P9

Dan Pesch sits in Elbert County District Court in 2018, before prosecutors dismissed a murder charge that had stemmed from Pesch’s apparent false confession to a case he had nothing to do with.

and Hampden Avenue in Aurora on three occasions — on April 15, April 18 and April 20 — and followed up with threatening messages from his personal Facebook account, railing against the agency’s stay-at-home order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tri-County Health serves Arapahoe, Douglas and Adams counties.

“Best part of your policy is that I can keep vandalizing the (expletive) out of your building and the cops won’t do (expletive) about it lol,” said one message on Pesch’s Facebook account directed to Tri-County Health. “Spray paint and broken windows are just the beginning (expletive).”

Pesch returned several times in early May to write vulgar messages on the building’s doors, police say, following up with more Facebook messages.

“Hope you’re enjoying putting small businesses under,” said a May 2 message from Pesch’s Facebook account. “Enjoy your broken windows (expletive).”

Stakeout leads to arrest Undercover officers said they staked out the building and arrested Pesch after encountering him outside the building on May 8. Officers transported him to an Aurora hospital, where staff gave him two doses of a sedative because of his “combative behavior,” according to the affidavit.

Pesch at that point was arrested on suspicion of failure to obey a lawful order and resisting arrest, according to an Aurora Police spokesperson, but he was released from the hospital and not taken to jail because of COVID-19 restrictions.

The building was vandalized again on May 11. An Aurora police detective called Pesch, who reportedly ranted against Tri-County’s stay-at-home order.

Pesch told the detective that TriCounty officials “deserve to pay” for the impacts of the shutdown order, according to the affidavit: “They’re just not getting the message,” Pesch told the detective. “So, I just have to keep increasing the intensity.”

The next day, Tri-County Health received another message from Pesch’s Facebook account: “Cops can’t be posted at your building every night. I’ll get you, you (expletive). All of you.”

Another message from Pesch’s account, sent on May 13, said, “Watch out (expletive). It’s coming. You have destroyed lives. Payback’s going to be (an expletive).”

Warrant issued Aurora Police obtained a warrant for Pesch’s arrest on May 15.

Aurora officers again spotted Pesch outside the Tri-County Health building at about 8:15 p.m. on May 18, according to a department spokesperson. Pesch allegedly fled on foot when officers approached him but he was apprehended after a

short chase.

Pesch was arrested on the outstanding warrant and on suspicion of failure to obey a lawful order and resisting arrest.

A search of Pesch’s criminal record showed Pesch is accused of breaking windows or destroying property in at least seven other incidents in 2019, including at Denver’s Auraria Campus, an East Colfax bank, and an Aurora church.

Pesch confessed to several of the incidents, according to the affidavit.

Most of the cases are ongoing, according to court records.

Pesch previously made headlines in Elbert County in December 2017, when the Elbert County Sheriff ’s Office announced Pesch had been charged with murder in the 2010 death of Kiowa High School teacher Randy Wilson.

Pesch had repeatedly confessed to murdering Wilson in a series of Facebook messages and in-person interviews with Elbert County investigators, as well as in cryptic text messages to Greenwood Village police, rambling handwritten notes left at Southwest Plaza shopping mall, and handwritten messages scrawled on the walls of his Littleton-area apartment, according to Colorado Community Media reports at the time. Pesch’s behavior prompted his partner to leave the state with their two young daughters.

But once in custody in Elbert County, Pesch recanted his confession to murder, according to CCM reports. Further, his confession did not match physical evidence in the case, Pesch’s DNA was nowhere to be found on the evidence, and Pesch’s adoptive father provided an alibi for the night Wilson died.

During the case, a CCM investigation revealed that Pesch had a long history of falsely confessing to crimes, including a series of cabin burglaries in Chaffee County in 2010 and an apparent reference to a then-unsolved 2009 murder of a Saguache County man, a slaying for which another man has since been convicted.

Pesch’s public defender in the Elbert County case argued that his confession and strange behavior were motivated by mental illness and drug abuse.

Prosecutors dropped the murder charge against Pesch in the Wilson case in February 2019, more than a year after he was arrested. Pesch pleaded guilty to felony attempted escape, a charge incurred when he broke away from arresting officers outside the Elbert County Jail in 2017.

As part of his probation imposed in Elbert County District Court, Pesch was required to complete a full psychiatric evaluation and comply with any recommended treatment, complete a substance abuse treatment program, attend cognitive behavioral therapy, submit to random drug tests and maintain employment of at least 40 hours a week.

Pesch’s last listed address was The Recovery Center, a sober-living facility in Denver run by the Mental Health Center of Denver.

Genealogy program Senior Center on pause as metro district hosted via Zoom confronts possible $4.5 million budget drop The decrease could also affect paying off webinar the district’s debt early and building a new pickleball court

Genealogical Proof Standard helps avoid errors in research STAFF REPORT

How can researchers know if the facts they uncover about their ancestors are correct? How can they avoid attaching someone else’s ancestors to their family tree? The Genealogical Proof Standard (GPS) is a guide to producing reliable research results.

“Genealogical Proof for the Everyday Genealogist,” a Castle Rock Genealogical Society program hosted via Zoom webinar, will introduce researchers to the GPS to help researchers avoid errors and frustration.

The Zoom program is from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, June 9; registration for the program closes at 5 p.m.

Monday, June 8. Go to https://www.crcgs.org.

The program will be led by Annette Burke Lyttle, owner of Heritage Detective LLC, which provides professional genealogical services in research, education and writing. She will serve as a faculty member for “Exploring Quaker Records in America” at the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh in June and as course coordinator for “From Sea to Shining Sea: Researching Our Ancestors’ Migrations in America” for the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy in January. She is a member of the board of directors of the Association of Professional Genealogists.

The long-awaited Highlands Ranch Senior Center project has been indefinitely put on hold as the metro district grapples with a possible $4.5 million revenue decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a May 20 virtual study session of the metro district’s board of directors, staff informed the board of the latest financial forecasting, which included projections from the Douglas County assessor’s office.

The assessor’s predictions include a forecasted drop of 5% in residential values and a 25% decrease in commercial values, according to the presentation

by Stephanie Stanley, the metro district’s director of finance and administration.

The metro district, which collects the most of its revenue from property taxes, could see up to 23% in decline of revenue as a result, Stanley said. That’s why the metro district staff recommended pausing projects like the senior center, construction of a new pickleball court and retiring the district’s debt early.

“The Metro District’s priority is to sustain the existing services and programs and properly maintain our infrastructure,” Stanley said in an emailed statement after the meeting.

The senior center project will likely be revisited early next year, once the metro district knows just how much property values have decreased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Terry Nolan, general manager of HRMD. There is no formal vote expected on this decision in upcoming meetings.

“We were not expecting what was announced,” said Sue Frommelt, president of the Highlands Ranch senior club.

“I’m disappointed.”

Frommelt and other seniors are hoping that the district can find some way to still move forward with the project without having to spend much money, she said. However, so far, the district plans to completely put the center on hold.

“This is a project that has been bantered about for 10 years and for the last three, it’s been something that is being worked on,” she said. “It has taken a long time to get where we were and basically, we had the rug pulled out from under our feet.”

While Frommelt understands the reasoning behind the decision, she fears that the paused on the project could stretch well into the future.

“We wonder how long it’s going to sit there,” she said. “Is it going to go on the back burner for a few years?”

The board will decide in 2021 if their financial woes will allow them to follow through on another long-term plan: Paying off the metro district’s debt four years early.

“Maybe it will turn around,” Frommelt said. “Maybe they won’t take as much of a hit as they’re anticipating.”

Historical society program presented online Archeologist presents on Tel Shimron investigations STAFF REPORT

The May program of the Highlands Ranch Historical Society on the archeologics site of Tel Shimron in Israel can be viewed via PowerPoint and video, and those interested can view it at any time.

The 40-minute program “Tel Shimron: At the Crossroads of History,” presented by professional archeologist Dr. Gordon Tucker, can be viewed at https://thehrhs. org/20200518-Presentation-Tel_ Shimron.

Archaeological investigations at Tel Shimron began in 2016 in the Lower Galilee region of Israel.

When these excavations began, Tel

Shimron had been the largest unexcavated site in Israel.

After three seasons of excavations, interrupted by one season of laboratory study, numerous artifacts, features, and structures have been exposed that tell the story of this ancient site that sits at the crossroads between coastal and interior sites in the ancient land of Israel.

As of 2019, the excavations at Tel Shimron have established that people have lived here since at least the Early Bronze Age, approximately 5,000 years ago. Tucker describes the purpose of the excavations at Tel Shimron, the methods used, the results after three years of excavations, and the manner in which these results can be used to understand better the interactions among ancient populations in the region.

Step comes as restrictions begin to loosen for all places of worship

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parishioners of St. Mark Catholic Church in Highlands Ranch lined up for Mass the weekend of May 16 for the first time in months.

They wore masks, stood significantly spaced apart and prepared for an unusual service amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The church hosted four services over the weekend, each limited to 80 people, all of whom were required to register beforehand.

As they arrived, they were taken through propped-open doors to their assigned sections of the church, preplanned to allow for substantial spacing between family units and groups of 10.

“We’re happy to be back,” some churchgoers said as they entered the building.

However, the return to in-person worship did not come off without a hitch. The weekend services were temporarily canceled the Friday before they were set to take place after Tri-County Health Department was alerted that the services would allow 80 people, while the public health order only allowed for gatherings of 10 or fewer, according to an email from the Rev. Gregory Bierbaum to the congregation.

“Please know we have done everything to ensure that we would be following the appropriate safety measures, which have been thoroughly vetted by our Diocesan attorneys, who were in communication with the governor,” the email said.

A sign outside St. Mark Catholic Church asks church attendees to wear face masks, practice social distancing, use hand sanitizer and stay home if sick.

Tri-County on the church’s behalf, the two organizations were able to discuss an apporpriate plan to move forward with the service, said Mellissa Sager with the health department. Soon after, the parish announced the Masses would resume as planned.

“It did work out and they’re operating safely,” Sager said about St. Mark.

“From what we are seeing, these places of worship are focused on having a thorough plan to protect folks.”

On Sunday, May 17, a church staff member said they’ve received some hostile backlash from the community as a result of reopening.

The Douglas County commissioners, in coordination with Tri-County, submitted a variance request May 18 to the state asking to be allowed to reopen gyms, places of worship and SEE CHURCHES, P15

Channel-surfing once was an exercise in mobility

ugene Polley, the inventor of the first wireless remote control for television, died on May 12, 2012, QUIET at the age of 96. His wife found him in DESPERATION the family room between the couch cushions.

High on just about everyone’s list of “What Makes Life Worth Living” is Polley’s little device.

Beforehand - some Craig Marshall of you will remember - viewers had to Smith get up, walk to the television, and turn knobs to change the channel, increase or decrease

the volume, or turn the set off.

That inconvenience meant changing channels wasn’t done very often.

Additionally, there were no means to pause, fast-forward, or reverse anything that was being watched or to record a program to be watched in the future.

If “Ozzie and Harriet” was broadcast on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., that was it. You watched it or you missed it.

Something else is different now.

Commercials in the 1950s and 1960s were one minute in length and devoted to one product. That increased to 90 seconds and more than one.

Commercial interruptions now last up to five minutes — or longer — and may feature as many as a dozen products.

The very first remote control, called “Lazy Bones,” was introduced

by Zenith in 1950. It was connected to a television by a wire.

Polley’s wireless invention, called the “Flash-Matic,” had limited capabilities: receiver on or off, channel up or down, and volume up or down.

There’s more to this than just the development of a handheld device.

The remote control has changed how we do a lot of things.

We are a very impatient, spoiled population, and that handheld device is partly responsible.

Does anyone watch a film the way it was meant to be watched? Nonstop without breaks for phone calls, snacks, walking the dog, or making out?

It’s unlikely.

I should know better. I was a film history minor in college. But I am guilty of watching 10 or 15 minutes of a film, pausing it, and looking around to see what else is on.

It’s unconscionable. Forgive me, D.W. Griffith.

I know it’s hard to imagine, but in the 1950s viewers would sit in front of a television for an hour and a half, not budge, and watch the entirety of a film or three television programs.

Popular programs would be sequenced accordingly, so an audience watching a situation comedy on NBC wouldn’t touch the dial and would continue watching NBC until SEE SMITH, P13

All of us want to reopen — we all want the economy to stabilize, to attend family reunions, send our kids back to school, and pursue our travel dreams — all without dying or killing others in the process.

out overwhelmingly points to the great advantages of wearing masks: In societies where people wear masks and social distance, cases of COVID drop 80%.

The backlash against wearing masks is not only deadly, it is ironic.

While there are some who are medically unable to wear masks, most of the backlash comes from those who don’t want to wear masks as a sign they want economic restrictions SEE LETTERS, P13

ery early on as we became reliant on computers and technology, software engineers and people in the information technology world WINNING quickly recognized WORDS that the value of the data being fed into the system was only as good as the source of the data. They relied on and shared with us their philosophy of “garbage in garbage out,” or what became known as Michael Norton GIGO. It is pretty much the same way with people too. What we feed our mind impacts what we do, who we are, and what we pursue. As Earl Nightingale said, “We become what we think about.” And with the amount of time we are currently spending watching the news, watching our social media feeds and posts, and participating in exchanges, comments, and

chats, all of that data and information is being processed and consumed by our heart and our head.

And it becomes what we think about.

Our goal is to prevent GIGO, avoid letting the garbage into our minds and into our hearts that can tear us down mentally and emotionally. And equally as important is that we do not become the ones putting any garbage out there ourselves. The source of our data and what we feed into our system and share with others should be filtered through the lens of the good, the clean, the pure, the powerful, and the positive. Zig Ziglar talked about this long before the idea of fake news and social media ever existed.

As a matter of fact, Zig Ziglar said it this way, “If you dump garbage in, garbage will come out.

The person who dumps garbage into your mind will do considerably more damage than the one who dumps garbage on your floor.”

ended. But, if 80% of us wore masks, the economy could recover faster as the pandemic ceases to spread and we are all safer to move about freely.

I hope all of us who are medically able will choose to wear masks so we can stop this virus and restart the economy. It truly is the safest, simplest, and cheapest option we have.

And as Zig added a little humor to this message, he would also let us know that he would read the newspaper and his Bible every day, this way he knew what both sides were up to.

Now I am not advocating we completely avoid the news or social media.

the local nightly news came on.

Of course, most of us were limited to a handful of channels.

Now? I have a hundred. Ironically, much of the time I only watch a handful.

Has our reliance on a remote control contributed to an overall short attention span?

Such as the ability to attend a baseball game and simply watch what is happening on the field without texting, phoning or taking the requisite selfies?

Many of us communicate in

As we hope and pray that family and friends — and ourselves — will be survivors of this pandemic, we can be overwhelmed by fear and anger. We can also look for opportunities on this treacherous road. During the shutdown of C&C Coffee and Kitchen, we have another opportunity to support April Arellano and other small business owners with moral, financial, physical support. We can reach out to family, friends and neighbors whom we might have taken for granted. We can read for entertainment, for knowledge, for increased understanding. Craig Marshall Smith wrote a thought-provoking editorial in this same edition of The Lone Tree Voice. Without diminishing the burden this pandemic and shutdown are having on our lives, he managed to refresh my memory of other terrible periods we survived.

LIFE FEELING CREATIVE?

Any artist in Colorado can enter an Arvada Center call for submissions — for an exhibit called “Viral Influence” — for free.

It aims to portray artists’ thoughts on the pandemic and how they are responding to it. Submissions will be considered for inclusion in a physical exhibition at the center in 2021. See arvadacenter.org/galleries/artsubmissions/viral-influence-call-for-entry for more.

Creative souls face challenges amid pandemic

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

aybe they’re waiters and waitresses. Maybe they drive for Lyft. Maybe they teach their own art classes.

Whatever an artist’s gig is, it likely was turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic’s arrival in Colorado.

“It’s hard enough being an artist in general,” said Collin Parson, director of galleries and the curator at the Arvada Center, a nonprofit arts hub. He’s seen festivals and classes get canceled that often serve as a financial lifeline for people like one of his colleagues, a ceramics instructor at the center.

“A lot of artists piece together to make a life,” said Parson, a 37-year-old Lakewood resident who also works as a professional artist. He added: The fallout from COVID-19 has affected artists’ livelihoods “as artists and as people.”

In mid-March, Colorado ordered bars and restaurants to stop dine-in service for 30 days. Theaters — including movie and performance venues and concert halls — also were among the businesses required to shutter.

The state soon extended that shutdown, and it was still unclear as of mid-May when theaters could open back up. Bans on gatherings have made event cancellations of all kinds commonplace.

Theater gets help Amid the economic spiral, relief funds and other assistance for artists have come forward to ease the blow.

In the case of Miners Alley Playhouse in downtown Golden, the city government and local organizations stepped up to support the theater, whose landlord provided a month of free rent, said Len Matheo, executive and artistic director at Miners Alley Playhouse.

The “small, mighty theater” prides itself on connecting people through the art of live shows, Matheo said.

“People come together to have a theater experience, whether that makes them laugh, cry (or) think.”

Since Miners Alley shut its doors, its normal income streams dried up.

Roughly $20,000 in donations since then have helped keep it afloat — its yearly budget is about $730,000 — and it also snagged a federal Paycheck Protection Program loan to help pay its handful of staff for two months.

But the roughly 100 actors, designers and other artists Miners Alley hires as contract workers in a typical year are having to navigate a more treacherous economic path.

A large heart bearing the word “hope” sits on the wall of the building that houses The Englewood Tavern on South Broadway May 20. Artist Koko Bayer has placed the hearts throughout the Denver metro area — including a 12-foot-by-12-foot version of it on the Arvada Center building, according to Collin Parson, the center’s director of galleries and curator. “It’s things like those that give me hope and energy to keep getting art out there,” Parson said.

ELLIS ARNOLD

Unemployment, relief funds, other resources

“These actors are out of work. A lot of theater actors, their other job is in the restaurant business because of the flexibility of the hours,” Matheo said. Contract workers have had challenges accessing unemployment benefits because of conflicts caused by their other sources of income, Matheo added.

Pandemic unemployment assistance has worked out for Emily Tuckman, an artistic director and actor with the Boulder-based Misfits Theater Company.

“Right now, I have very little work,” said Tuckman, who lives in Boulder and whose company performs in Boulder and Denver. “Ordinarily, I tutor

SAT and ACT prep, neither of which is happening right now. Additionally, I’m a teaching artist,” but schools are closed.

The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provided pandemic unemployment assistance to those not ordinarily eligible for unemployment benefits, including gig workers— such as Lyft drivers — and the self-employed and contract workers, among others whose work was interrupted by COVID-19 in other ways. Tuckman is a self-employed artist.

Identity comes into question Even with the welcome financial assistance, Tuckman, whose “entire identity stems from being able to act, produce and teach,” has struggled with the identity of being a stay-athome mom, she said. Others are grappling with “the loneliness of solitude, and the unknown,” Tuckman said.

“It is so hard not to know when we will be safe and when society and the arts will come back,” Tuckman said.

“I’ve gotten this message both from friends, and from fellow Misfits. We are all ready to get back out there and work emotionally and physically, but there’s this huge wall in the form of a pandemic, and we all want to keep one another, and ourselves, safe.”

Still, Parson, the Arvada Center curator, wants to project a message of hope. He pointed to the center’s call for submissions that any artist in Colorado can enter for free. It aims to portray artists’ thoughts on the pandemic and how they are responding to it, Parson said. It’s called “Viral Influence,” and submissions will be considered for inclusion in a physical exhibition at the center in 2021.

Crisis spurs change Some people who are artists but haven’t had time for art in the bustle of everyday life may be able to work on art amid society’s halt, Parson said.

Parson has seen unfamiliar names responding to the call for submissions — an exciting development for him. Some artists have “exploded with creativity” from reading the news, learning about the virus and simply being outdoors.

“I know a couple artists I’ve talked to who think this’ll be a cultural renaissance, like (with) World War I or World War II,” Parson added.

Tuckman also believes current challenges could strengthen the arts.

“I just think the Denver community is such a special community,” Tuckman said. “I really, truly, believe that we will get through this, and we will be stronger as an artistic community because of it.”

A response was expected within a week of submission. Governor Jared Polis was also expected to soon release a new set of procedures for the state’s places of worship.

The variance requests that county churches be allowed to open with 50% capacity, Sager said. The health department is also hoping to allow attendees to remove face masks once sitting inside the building and away from other people, she said.

“We’re looking at these flexibilities so folks know we are exercising balance as well. We don’t want to be overburdensome,” Sager said. “If it’s impractical, people may not want to do it at all.”

St. Mark and other Catholic parishes in Douglas County are part of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, which announced May 13 that restricted Masses would be allowed. The Archdiocese of Denver made the same announcement May 6.

“This was a decision that has taken a lot of deliberation and study,” said Veronica Ambuul, a spokeswoman for the Diocese of Colorado Springs.

“It definitely was something that the bishop takes very seriously after consulting with a number of different people.”

The decision was made in part after a national Catholic organization released a detailed guideline about how

parishes could safely reopen, Ambuul said. The procedures include things like emptying all shared holy water dispensers, restricting the numbers of people inside the buildings, removing reusable worship books, disallowing any physical contact between parishioners and not giving out wine as part of the sacrament of Communion. The Eucharist, or bread, was still distributed for those interested. The parishes also discourage any congregating before or after the service.

“Bishop Sheridan has left it up to pastors to determine if they can offer Masses and still comply with their local health department,” Ambuul said.

Westminster nurses’ experience in NJ ER offers perspective on COVID-19 ‘I hope no one ever has to see that, again’

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Emergency room nurse Katie Adkins said she was reluctant to tell any specific stories from her three weeks working in a New Jersey emergency room, treating dying COVID-19 patients.

It’s not that she doesn’t have the stories or doesn’t know how to tell them. And it’s not that she doesn’t want to talk about it.

“I really don’t know if the general public is ready to hear about how bad it could have really been,” Adkins said.

Adkins witnessed the disease ravage patients firsthand, and watched it withstand just about any treatment medical professionals had for it. She watched doctors come in and try alternate treatments and watched patients die while their families could only visit via their smart phone.

“We did literally everything we could,” she said. “We exhausted the rule book, basically, on keeping some of these guys alive. And we didn’t win, most of the time.”

Even the ones who survived found their lives profoundly changed.

“It’s the amount of death, it’s the amount of lives forever impacted,” Adkins said. “You don’t just get over it if you’ve been on a ventilator for 30 days. It’s going to do permanent damage to your lungs and permanent damage to the rest of your body.”

An honor Adkins was one of the group of 34 nurses that flew out of Colorado April 21 to spend three weeks helping at three New Jersey hospitals.

“It was an honor. Those guys went through hell before we got there,” she said. “And to be there and to be able to stand beside them as they recovered and put their ER back together, it was an honor.”

An emergency room nurse at

Thornton’s Katie Adkins, an emergency room nurse at Westminster’s St. Anthony North Regional Medical, hugs her husband Dustin upon arriving back in Denver May 14. Adkins and 33 other Colorado nurses flew to New Jersey to help with that state’s COVID-19 response.

COURTESY PHOTO Westminster’s St. Anthony North, Adkins was stationed at Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey. It’s a hospital roughly the size of Denver’s Presbyterian St. Luke, with between 40 and 50 emergency room beds.

The difference, she said, was that COVID-19 made it impossible to treat those beds like emergency room beds. The pandemic forced the hospital to treat the emergency room, along with the entire hospital, as one big, slow-moving intensive care unit.

Where a normal emergency room visit lasts two hours for a patient, these visits lasted several days. And

emergency room nurses are used to treating patients and either releasing them to go home or sending them on to another unit for more treatment.

“An ICU nurse has one or two patients — or in this case, five or six —that you treat for the whole shift,” she said. “Normally in the ER, they get there and you know within the first two hours if your patient is going to get released or get sent upstairs.”

Instead, these patients stayed, right where they were.

From really bad to just bad Adkins said the cases of COVID-19

had peaked just before the Colorado nurses arrived, so their role was to give the New Jersey nurses a break.

“When we got there, it was still pretty rough,” she said. “Actually, the day we arrived they saw kind of a turn from things being really bad to just being bad.”

New Jersey, with its proximity to New York, has been particularly hard hit by COVID-19, with more than 150,000 confirmed cases as of May 21 and more than 10,000 deaths.

Colorado has fared better so far, with almost 23,000 confirmed cases and 1,300 deaths. As of May 21, 3,955 SEE NURSES, P17

Coloradoans had been hospitalized with COVID-19.

The Colorado nurses were stationed at four hospitals spread around the Garden State: Trinitas in Elizabeth, where Adkins was; St. Peter’s Healthcare System in New Brunswick; and the Paterson and Wayne campuses of St. Joseph’s Health.

Five of the nurses, including Adkins, came from the St. Anthony North Health Campus in Westminster while 27 came from Penrose-St. Francis Health Services in Colorado Springs. One nurse came from the St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center in Pueblo and Saint Anthony Summit Medical Center in Frisco.

Each worked an emergency roomstandard schedule of four 12-hour days, returning to a mostly-closed hotel when they were off-shift. Adkins checked in with her Colorado family daily, having video chats with her four-year-daughter, waiting for her next shift to start.

A whole body killer Adkins said she was surprised to see how all encompassing the diseases is. One of the main complications was the high incidence of sepsis, a condition that occurs when the body reacts to an infection by flooding the blood stream with

Time off Now back home with her family, she’s taking some vacation time off. Her husband, she said, is very happy to have a second parent back home.

She’ll return to her Westminster ER in June.

Colorado has been enormously lucky, keeping the spread of COVID-19 down through social distancing, she said.

“I feel like Colorado, we’ve been very fortunate” she said. “I’ve been looking at the numbers in comparison between Colorado and New Jersey. They got hit so hard and so fast. What the other nurses were telling me is that one day it was normal, the next day they had the first COVID positive. And by the third day, they were overrun.”

There was no way to ease into it, she said. That’s why it matters that Colorado has done a good job of flattening the curve, and slowed down the disease’s spread.

“I do think Colorado is doing a good job slowly reopening, rather than just being like, ‘We’re open!

Come play!” she said.

“I just hope we never have to see what New Jersey saw, in our lifetimes,” she said. “I hope no one ever has to see that, again.”

Wrestling club grapples with virus restrictions Golden Eagles go online for training sessions during pandemic

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Aiden Cartwright would rather be wrestling with a teammate at practice, but since all wrestling has been shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he’s turned toward other options.

Cartwright is a member of the Highlands Ranch-based Golden Eagles Wrestling Club. Head coach Scott McDoniel offers virtual training sessions for all the club members, and Cartwright is a participant.

“It’s been going great,” said Cartwright, who will be a junior at Mountain Vista. “It’s easy and I don’t have to go to practice. I like it a lot. And it’s good to stay in condition. It’s not the same but it’s better than nothing.

“Coach tries to have an aspect of competition. It’s there but it is not the same. It’s not like actually wrestling somebody. That’s what I miss the most, live drills. I miss wrestling with people.”

McDoniel knew any wrestling com-

petition would be on hold to at least July 1, so he tweaked his classes with virtual sessions.

The Golden Eagles Wrestling Club was founded in 2014 to offer youth wrestling in Highlands Ranch for athletes between the ages of 5 years old through high school age. It is a feeder program for wrestlers who attend or will enroll at Mountain Vista, Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge, Rock Canyon and Elizabeth high schools “It’s not going to replace actual sparring practices where you are drilling and wrestling with a teammate,” explained McDoniel. “I do believe from a technique perspective it’s not bad that we can take a step backwards and work on some basic fundamentals that a lot of time kids take for granted.

“It was actually not that difficult to set up. We started using Zoom from the standpoint I could see a lot of people at one time. I just send out a link to our club members and they just join in and they just come online and I see them from there.”

McDoniel runs six different classes that focus on certain days of the week. For instance, the classes are labeled as Mindset Monday, Technique Tuesday and Thursday and Workout Wednesday.

“You never know what is going to happen, and obviously with wrestling being a combative sport on the low end of the totem pole of social distancing guidelines, there’s not much we can do with training right now,” said McDoniel. “We do a lot of what we call shadow drilling and using some visualization techniques and imagining your opponent in front of you as you are working specific techniques.

“The fundamental classes with the younger kids, we had as many as 20 come out at one time. With the advanced group we have 10 to 12.

From a visualization perspective there have been a couple benefits and we’ve seen kids actually getting better. The

younger kids don’t have the distraction of the wrestling room where you have a lot of kids.”

Lance Alexander says he and his 12-year-old twin brother Emmett, who attend Coyote Creek Elementary School, know a lot more about wrestling thanks to McDoniel’s instructions.

“I am actually learning a lot,” said Lance Alexander. “Our coach supplies us with equipment and we also have my own mat. Our coach likes to mix it up but keep us on schedule. It’s been great. My brother enjoys it too and we’re family so it gives me a wrestling partner.”

Easton Parker, an 8-year-old club member, has enjoyed his class experience.

“It’s going good,” said Parker. “It’s really fun on the mat. I work hard. I’ve learned a lot about techniques.”

Scott McDoniel leads an online training session for members of the Golden Eagles Wrestling Club.
