After Carol McCabe’s husband, Ken, had a falling accident, the Castle Rock couple decided to bring in round-the-clock care made available to them through insurance.

Caregivers began working around the house. Then one day, McCabe noticed a handful of her jewelry was missing — some basic costume trinkets but other items worth money.

That’s how in January 2019 she met Officer Amanda Lane with the Castle Rock Police Department.

After several weeks of increasing COVID-19 cases in Douglas County, the state has decided to move the county to a more restrictive level on its dial framework.

Douglas County, which had been at “Safer at Home Level 1,” has been moved to “Safer at Home Level 2,” effective Nov. 4.

This new level of restrictions impacts capacity for indoor and outdoor events, places of worship, restaurants and gyms.

Gyms limitations went from 25% capacity or 75 people to 25% capacity or 50 people. Restaurants and places of worship went from 50% capacity or 175 people to 50% capacity or 50 people.

The state’s “dial framework” outlines five levels of restrictions with the strictest limitations under “Safer at Home” and the most lenient under “Protect Our Neighbor.” Between these are three levels of limitations ranging from “Safer Level 1” to “Safer Level 3.”

Which level a county falls under on the dial depends on its rate of new cases, the percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive, and whether SEE COUNTY, P10

Help & Hope Center organizes community food drive Campaign will be held from Nov. 1-14

ITEMS NEEDED BY THE HELP & HOPE CENTER Toiletries • Toothpaste/toothbrushes • Shampoo/conditioner • Soap/body wash • Deodorant • Feminine hygiene products • Diapers • Baby wipes • Laundry pods • Toilet paper • Paper towels • Kleenex • Dish soap

After a major food drive in Colorado was canceled due to COVID-19, the Help & Hope Center is looking for donations in the beginning of November to help their clients make it through winter.

The Help & Hope Center, based in Castle Rock, serves those in Douglas and Elbert counties who are struggling with food insecurity.

Their food bank, called “Mela’s Pantry,” provides three meals per day for each family member of a family in need for at least a week.

The pantry also provides household supplies, toiletries, diapers, sanitary supplies for women and seniors and pet food.

The food bank is possible through various food drives and donations to the nonprofit. Without the typical annual food drive that the Help & Hope Center relies on this time of year, the nonprofit is concerned about meeting the needs of their clients during the holiday season.

Welcoming new members to our media family

n February 2012, FROM THE my wife Ann and PUBLISHER I acquired nine community newspapers from a Texasbased company, all in South Metro Denver and in two communities near Colorado Springs.

At that time, I had been recently brought in to manage several disJerry Healey tressed community newspapers in Jefferson and Adams counties. I immediately merged all

Also available were the Clear Creek Courant, serving Idaho Springs, Empire and Georgetown, and the Fort Lupton Press, serving Fort Lupton and lower Weld County. In addition, two shoppers would be part of the package.

I am pleased to share that we became the owners of these publications last Thursday. This brings Colorado Community Media to 22 weekly newspapers, two monthly newspapers and two shoppers, including the publication or website you are now reading. It also brings into the group some dedicated and

these newspapers into a new company that we named Colorado Community Media. Over the past eight years we purchased the distressed newspapers and stabilized them. We sold the Colorado Springs newspapers, bought some Denver newspapers, modernized and won many media awards along the way.

A month ago, I was contacted by a newspaper broker about possibly acquiring the remaining newspapers in Jefferson and Adams counties that we did not already own. Those are the Canyon Courier that serves Evergreen and Conifer, and in Adams County, the Brighton Standard-

Inside the Douglas County elections building in Castle Rock, the judges worked in pairs, with each volunteer from a dissimilar party, opening the ballots. Judges were required to wear face masks and sit at tables with a clear partition between them in an attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Collaboration, community are key for Kiewit campus First 900 employees slated to move into Lone Tree campus in July

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lone Tree’s newest corporate citizens plan to open the doors to the first of its two buildings next summer, officials say.

Kiewit Corp., a multibillion-dollar engineering and construction firm based in Omaha, Nebraska, is building a 12.6-acre campus west of I-25 near the Sky Ridge Light Rail Station.

Kiewit officials say the campus will be a regional headquarters for its Colorado employees, who are currently operating in offices throughout the state.

The campus will be a much-needed space for Kiewit employees in different fields to interact and collaborate, Project Executive Michael Brumley said.

“We’re excited to have this central hub in Colorado for all of our Colorado needs and employees. There are 900 Kiewit Colorado-based staff, and they’re kind of scattered throughout different offices,” Brumley said.

Brumley currently works out of the company’s Englewood office. “This will put everybody under one roof.”

Kiewit officials gave media tours of the near-complete first building Oct. 29. The company plans to open the doors to the five-story, 252,000-squarefoot building in July, project manager

Kiewit’s 400,000-square-foot campus is starting to take shape. Facing the front door of the first building, Eric Roumph, project manager, adjusts his face mask--just one of the protocols Kiewit required of employees on its site since the pandemic started.

PHOTO BY NICK PUCKETT

Eric Roumph said. The first building will be home to 1,100 employees. The second building, at four stories and 142,000 square feet, broke ground in May and is also under construction.

Officials plan for it to open in spring 2022. About 600 employees will work there.

“We know that being here is going to have a positive impact on the community and also on our community— the company,” Brumley said. “We’re proud to be part of Lone Tree and excited to part of Lone Tree.”

Brumley said the decision to build Kiewit’s Colorado headquarters in Lone Tree was “natural,” given the city’s proximity to Denver and access to light rail.

“There aren’t many sites with direct access to light rail,” Brumley said.

“That was a real key element for us, both in the short term, with the employees we have, and long term, with workforce development. It’s really an amenity that allows for the diversity of travel.”

Kiewit will be the last major addi-

tion to Lone Tree’s RidgeGate West neighborhood, which stretches from the Lone Tree Arts Center to I-25 and includes the Charles Schwab and Sky Ridge Medical Center campuses — the city’s two largest private employers.

When complete, Kiewit’s Lone Tree campus will be home to 1,700 employees, most of whom already work in various offices throughout the state.

The space will also be used to accommodate the company’s future growth SEE KIEWIT, P5

COVID-19 outbreaks reported at 10 schools in Douglas County this fall District-run, charter and private schools experienced cases

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Since the start to the school year, several outbreaks have unfolded within Douglas County schools — public, private and charter.

Six of the schools are operated by the Douglas County School District. A spokesman provided a statement regarding outbreaks in district schools, saying “the safety of our students and staff is our number one priority in the Douglas County School District, especially during these challenging times.”

“Any time there is a confirmed COVID exposure in one of our schools we follow the quarantine, isolation and outbreak protocols as outlined on our website,” the statement said.

According to the district’s outbreak protocols posted on its website, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment or the Tri-County Health Department will notify the district of a confirmed outbreak.

If the district learns of a case before being contacted by health agencies, school personnel notify the building’s school nurse consultant, and nursing or health staff contact Tri-County Health.

Areas where people with confirmed cases spent time are disinfected and are also quarantined for 48 hours. An outbreak may require an entire cohort, classroom or school to close.

Outbreaks are declared if one or more of the following criteria are met: • Two or more confirmed cases in a classroom or cohort among people from separate households, with onset within 14 days.

• For schools without cohorts, two or more confirmed COVID-19 cases from separate households with onset within 14 days in the same school.

• 5% or more unrelated people diagnosed with COVID-19 within a 14-day period, with a minimum of 10 unrelated students and staff.

Here are the schools that have experienced an outbreak since the start to the school year, according to a weekly update provided by the state health department.

Active outbreaks as of Oct. 28 • Castle View High School, determined an outbreak Oct. 1, three staff members positive, five

attendees positive, one attendee with probable COVID-19 • eDCSD: Colorado Cyber School, determined an outbreak Oct. 1, two staff members positive • Ponderosa High School, determined an outbreak Oct. 1, one staff member positive, one attendee positive, one attendee with probable COVID-19 • ThunderRidge High School, determined an outbreak Oct. 8, two attendees positive • Chaparral High School, determined an outbreak Sept. 23, five attendees positive • American Academy Preschool, determined an outbreak Oct. 20, three staff members positive • SkyView Academy, determined an outbreak Sept. 22, six staff members positive, four attendees positive • Mile High Academy, private school, determined an outbreak Oct. 26, two attendees positive Resolved outbreaks as of Oct. 28 • Parker Core Knowledge Charter School, outbreak ended Oct. 13 • Sand Creek Elementary School, outbreak ended Oct. 1 Charter schools listed above — American Academy, SkyView Academy, Parker Core Knowledge Charter School — are not operated by the district and set their own protocols for managing COVID-19.

KIEWIT FROM PAGE 4

throughout the region.

The first 1,000 staff members of the Lone Tree Kiewit campus will move into their new offices over a four-week period next summer, a Kiewit spokesperson said in September.

Brumley said the company is “always hiring” workers and engineers of all disciplines. The Lone Tree Kiewit campus will primarily focus on infrastructure projects, doing mostly civil, mechanical and structural engineering.

Collaboration among engineers planning a project is crucial, Roumph said, and roughly 40% of the Lone Tree Kiewit campus’ offices will be open-concept designs.

“No one person can design a bridge or a road or a building. If there’s a structural engineer, an electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer, an architect that has to bring it all together — those people have their own little systems, but if they work in a vacuum, nothing will come together like it needs to,” Roumph said. “All that coordination, and getting that onto paper so it can be built correctly, is huge, and it’s a pretty monumental effort.”

The campus will also include a café and an additional coffee shop open to the public.

The Kiewit project broke ground in March, before the pandemic forced widespread closures. Construction projects are considered essential, so Kiewit did not skip a beat.

The project’s more than 200 employees have adjusted to the pandemic, wearing masks onsite, monitoring symptoms and limiting large gatherings.

Kiewit, founded in 1884, is a $10 billion company with subsidiaries in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The corporation employs about 23,000 people in North America. Kiewit has construction and engineering services in markets including building, transportation, oil, gas and chemical, power, water/wastewater, industrial and mining.

“Amanda got it back within 24 hours,” McCabe said.

Lane was able to track down the suspect through jewelry he pawned. She worried the valuables were the only jewelry she could return to McCabe, but the man brought McCabe her costume jewelry back on his own accord, albeit tangled. “(Lane) sat at my kitchen table and she straightened up every one of those chains,” McCabe said.

The theft brought Lane and McCabe together, but the women’s relationship did not end there.

Lane continued checking on McCabe, particularly after Ken died that April. Lane worried about McCabe, 89, who after 49 years of marriage to Ken, was now living alone.

“I just wanted to make sure she knew that even though my case was over, I still cared,” Lane said.

If a large snowstorm was brewing, Lane would call McCabe to see if she needed groceries or anything else.

“To me she was my lifesaver and I was able to talk to her,” McCabe said. “We did seem to have a connection right away and I trusted her with some of my deepest secrets.”

McCabe became the inspiration for a new program the Castle Rock Police Department rolled out on Nov. 1.

Carol McCabe, left, sits with Amanda Lane, a Castle Rock police officer.

Concerned for McCabe and residents like her, Lane pitched a program to her commanders that would further ensure the police department has a way to check on vulnerable populations.

“They were all overwhelmingly on board,” Lane said.

The initiative, called the R-U-OK Program, is open to seniors or residents with disabilities who do not have a relative or caretaker living with them. The service is free

and aims to make sure vulnerable populations are safe and connected with any resources they may need.

Once enrolled, participants can expect a police officer or program volunteer to call them at least once a week.

The officer or volunteer will ask if the individual is doing well and if so, the call wraps up. If the participants does not answer after at least two attempts to reach them, the officer or volunteer will contact

the participant’s emergency contact.

The department will also dispatch an officer to conduct a welfare check. Lane said she found a similar program operating in Texas that she modeled Castle Rock’s after.

Police Chief Jack Cauley said in a statement the Community Partnership Unit that Lane serves in has brought forward “some of our most successful outreach programs.” He hopes the R-U-OK

Program will help residents feel a stronger connection to the town and its police force, he said.

“We are thrilled to be adding yet another program to our portfolio with the R-U-OK Senior program,” his statement said. “People ages 65 and older make up nearly 10% of Castle Rock’s populations.”

McCabe said she has a large family and good neighbors, “but they can only go so far, and to have somebody who is responsible to check on you would mean a great deal,” especially for people without family or close neighbors.

As of now the general public cannot apply to volunteer with the program. Lane said the department has volunteers, such as victim advocates, who have already been screened and trained. Five volunteers and three officers are ready to launch the effort, she said.

“It’s screened people that know the process, have gone through the training with me and are trustworthy,” Lane said.

Residents interested in receiving the service can apply online at crgov.com.

McCabe now lives with a relative, which means she is not eligible for the program, but she’s ready to volunteer if the volunteer work ever opens to the general public.

“Maybe I could be a caller,” McCabe said.

“I would love that,” Lane replied.

Cherry Valley Elementary School in Franktown has temporarily switched to virtual learning amid substitute teacher shortages and COVID-19 quarantines.

Principal Nancy Wortmann said in an Oct. 25 letter to the school community that a positive COVID-19 case triggered quarantines at the school, leaving it without enough substitute teachers to oversee inperson classes.

“With our small size, the quarantine impact hit our school especially hard,” Wortmann said.

Virtual learning was set to begin on Oct. 26. Students and staff can return to in-person learning on Nov. 6. Students will follow their regular class and cohort schedules during the virtual learning period.

Cherry Valley is now one of several district schools force to temporarily

conduct virtual learning after large quarantines kept more teachers out of the classrooms than what substitute teachers could cover.

The Douglas County School District recently updated its quarantine protocols under new guidance from the state health department.

The changes now allow the district to take a more targeted approach in who it asks to quarantine, which district staff have said may reduce the size of quarantines moving forward.

Smaller quarantines may also lessen the disruption to students’ education and alleviate stresses on the district stemming from the substitute teacher shortage if few teachers need to quarantine.

But elementary schools can’t take advantage of the new rules. Personalized Learning Officer Nancy Ingalls told school board directors on Oct. 20 that schools must meet a number of requirements to use the targeted approach, but elementary schools do not qualify.

Elementary schools returned to full, in-person learning on Oct. 19.

Students are together for longer than one class period, disqualifying the schools from the updated quarantine protocols.

All the flavors to entice kids.

All the nicotine to keep them hooked.

E-cigarette makers and vape shops are enticing kids with flavors like cotton candy, gummy bear and bubble gum. And nationally, over 5 million kids are using these flavored e-cigarettes.

Vape shops and tobacco companies say their products aren’t ending up in kids’ hands, but that’s just not true. Many retailers still sell to minors, and many of them in Denver even illegally sold products during the COVID-19 shutdown violating emergency orders.

Let’s stop pretending vape shops and the industry care about public health or the health of our children. It’s time to stop the sale of flavored tobacco products to protect our kids.

Take action now by visiting FlavorsHookKidsDenver.org to tell your City Council Members to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.

Colorado at critical juncture with COVID-19, state warns

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Citing “an alarming increase in hospitalizations due to COVID-19,” the state public-health department painted a dire picture of where the coronavirus’s spread could end up in the coming months in a recent news release.

A few days later, Gov. Jared Polis told Coloradans that “the trends are unsustainable and these numbers are very concerning.”

“If these trends continue, we will exceed (April) hospitalization num-

bers — the peak of our first wave — by (November), and the most recent modeling predicts that we’ll exceed all of our existing hospital capacity by the end of the year,” Polis said in an Oct. 27 new release. “There’s time to fix this by staying ‘safer at home,’ signing up for exposure notifications, wearing a mask when you have to be out, avoiding groups and washing your hands regularly.”

Colorado recently launched a voluntary and free “exposure notifications” service that lets people know if they’ve been near another person who tests positive for COVID-19 within a

most recent mitigation plan.

To stay at that level, counties are also required to have a testing positivity rate of less than 5% and stable or declining hospitalizations.

The county has submitted two mitigation plans to the state in the past month, both aimed at reducing the spread of COVID-19 within the community. The state first requested a mitigation plan in an Oct. 2 meeting with the county. On Oct. 19, the state notified the county that if incidence rates did not significantly decrease, the county would be moved to a more restrictive level.

As of Oct. 30, the county’s two-week incidence rate was 233 cases per 100,000 people and the positivity rate was 6.4%, according to Tri-County

hospitalizations are increasing, stable or declining.

Although the county’s incidence rates are actually high enough to place them in “Safer Level 3,” the state decided that “a gradual implementation of restrictions is suitable at this time,” according to a letter from the state to the county.

Douglas County has been out of compliance with the “Safer Level 1” restrictions since at least Sept. 18, when the county’s incidence rate first went higher than 75 cases per 100,000 people, which is one of the thresholds required to remain at level 1, according to the county’s

The following are some differences between “Safer at Home Level 1” and “Safer at Home Level 2”: • Douglas County is now only eligible for outdoor, site-specific variances. (A variance is a special request that allows for loosened restrictions.)

• Places of worship and life rites can now have 50% capacity or 50 people, instead of 175 people.

• Restaurants can now have 50% capacity or 50 people, Health Department’s data.

Hospitalizations are also on the rise, according to the agency’s data.

In order to move back to “Safer Level 1,” the county must reduce cases and hospitalizations enough to be in line with those requirements

To avoid increasing infections and strain on hospitals over the next three months, a “substantial increase” in effort in fighting the virus’s spread will be needed, the state public-health department said in a news release.

Increases in contacts over the holidays will likely accelerate case growth, and intensive-care unit hospital capacity may be exceeded in December or January, the news release said.

“The window to improve (the virus trend) is over the next several weeks to assure that critical care capacity is not stressed,” the release said.

Douglas County has requested that the state begin taking a new “severity metric” into account when deciding which level on the dial county’s sit in the future.

The proposed metric looks

at both incidence rates and hospitalization rates.

“Our board’s focus is on the health of our citizens and our economy, paired with a renewed request to state decision-makers that they also consider actual severity (hospitalizations and deaths),” according to a statement from the board of commissioners. “Douglas County will continue to partner with Tri-County Health Department and like-minded local, regional and statewide leadership for this sciencedriven severity metric, while also advocating aggressively for the behaviors that reduce COVID-19 transmission.”

Parker school credits social-emotional learning for academic success Legacy Point Elementary earns honor for remote education

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Douglas County elementary school says paying close attention to the community’s social-emotional health helped students cope during the onset of the pandemic and keep up their academic performance.

Legacy Point Elementary school in Parker was one of 11 in the Douglas County School District to be named a 2020 i-Ready Distinguished School for Remote Learning. i-Ready is an assessment and instruction program that can help teachers assess a student’s grade-level proficiency.

School staff told directors during the Oct. 20 school board meeting between the start of the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school year, Legacy Point saw a 4% decline in students who are significantly below grade level using the i-Ready diagnostic.

Legacy Point is also a “Leader in Me” school. The Leader in Me is a social-emotional learning program that teaches leadership and life skills.

It strives to engrain eight “habits” into students, such as being proactive, beginning tasks with the end in mind and finding their voice.

“I would 100% say that there was a big connection and part of that was the social-emotional piece that we have to pay attention to,” Principal

routine for students.

She gave students assignments on Google Classroom and made a menu of activities for them to choose from.

Her main focus was getting children outside in the fresh air. Students submitted videos of them doing the activities, which worked well, Merritt said.

For social and emotional health, the school focuses on creating a safe culture and an environment where students feel safe, she said.

Caroline Frizell, whose 9-year-old son Ethan Kipp is in fourth grade at Legacy, said remote education was tough on the entire school community. She learned more about what teachers do.

“I think overall we were able to be successful in difficult times because of The Leader In Me program,” she said. “The kids have already had the language and the foundation for good habits, whether that’s at school, at home, so we didn’t have to start from zero.”

Frizell offered one of the program’s lessons, to “Put First Things First,” as an example. At home there are video games or siblings that can distract students. Her son had skillsets to manage those challenges, she said, thanks to the program.

Frizell said Ethan feels social distancing is difficult but he understands the reason for it. She and her husband have had conversations with all three of their children about their mindset during the crisis and avoiding an “I survived” mentality.

“We are trying to teach our kids that, yes, this is unprecedented and unusual and weird, but we still need to put our best efforts forth,” she said.

VOICES

It goes without saying, but they say it anyway

“W

ell, I swear,” is an obsolete expression that was a way of

swearing without QUIET swearing.

DESPERATION Believe it or not, four-letter words were once impermissible in films.

Now it would be almost impossible to find a film other than one of Disney’s or Hallmark’s that wasn’t filled with them.

Craig Marshall It belongs at a Smith 10-year-old slumber party, but one of Ellen’s (many) idiotic bits involves the determination of a celebrity’s favorite curse word.

Guess which one is most popular?

Hint: It’s said 506 times in “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

I swear at home, but not when I

leave the house.

My swearing is never directed at someone. It’s directed at something, such as a remote control that is playing hide and seek.

Now and then when I can’t open crackers I’ll say something profane.

I don’t know how Charles Dickens managed without four-letter words.

His novels would have been so much better.

If you tried to play a game of shots watching “Good Will Hunting,” waiting for one four-letter word in particular, you’d be legally drunk by the time Will meets Skylar.

As is true with many overused words, four-letter words have innumerable synonyms as well as slang terms.

W. C. Fields, unable to curse on film during the Hayes Code era, came up with “Godfrey Daniel” and “Mother-of-pearl,” said with equal

force and conviction.

However, when it comes to expletives, most of us don’t look around for creativity, and go straight to the most common and most familiar.

Not knowing (or caring) that each time it depletes the impact.

More than once, I was told the unthinkable by college students. There was a time it would have meant expulsion.

Walking across campus one day behind members of our men’s basketball team, I realized they only knew about nine or 10 words.

Guess?

One screenwriter and film director was chided for the number of profanities in one of his films: “Glengarry Glen Ross.”

So David Mamet wrote and directed a film with none. Can you name it?

There are PG films that feature foul-mouthed kids. In PG-13 and R, shut the door.

re you an older adult who uses Facebook? This wellknown social media site is very popular among people who are 60 and older. In fact, Facebook is the most commonly used social LIVING & media site by older AGING WELL adults.

There is a great article by Alissa Bauer in the Aug. 3 issue of Senior Living Blog on the topic of older adults and their use of social media: www.leisurecare. com/resources/benefits-of-social-media- Joyce Feustel for-seniors/ In this article, “The Benefits of Social Media Use for Seniors,” she writes that older adults use social media to: • Connect with family members who live far away from them • Make new friendships and reconnect with old friends • Become more involved in civic engagement • Learn more about the world • Market a new business • Entertain themselves by doing things like playing games or looking at interesting videos When older adults first start to use Facebook, it can be very overwhelming and confusing.

using the site.

It can be helpful to have a family member or a friend who is familiar with Facebook help you get acquainted with the site, learn how to do things like post and comment, and figure out how to adjust the settings.

It’s easy to get confused about the difference between your personal page, which is also called your profile, and your home page. It can look like these are two separate things, but they are both part of your Facebook account.

On occasion, what you think is a private statement is actually being made publicly, such as when you comment on someone’s post.

The family member or friend can help you learn how to communicate privately with a Facebook friend through Messenger, the site’s internal messaging system.

It’s important to understand the “settings” functionality, especially those related to privacy. By adjusting your settings, you have control over who can see your posts, who can post on your personal page, and who can see your list of Facebook friends.

Older adults are especially vulnerable to having others pretend to be you on Facebook. Ask your family and friends to notify you if they see any suspicious activity involving your Facebook account. One example would be if someone who is already your Facebook friend gets a friend SEE FEUSTEL, P13

Watching “The Bad News Bears” in 1976 I asked myself, “Did I talk like that in Little League”?

“No” was the answer.

Where would some music be if not for profanities? It’s too bad the Beatles and Bob Dylan didn’t take advantage of the allowances made for every perceivable vulgarity.

Go ahead and swear. Now and then there’s nothing more satisfying.

But over and over and all the time, it’s tiresome and dumb.

Some readers might respond to this commentary with one finger, raised in my direction, as a nonverbal expletive, as it were.

The omniscience of the middle finger as a gesture of obscenity is equal and concurrent with uttered profanities, and can be witnessed almost everywhere.

Why not?

Here’s column number 600: Where do I stand?

…W

here hope begins.

Over the last 12 years, I have now written 600 published columns. AdWINNING ditionally, I have posted thousands WORDS of messages through social media and have been on podcasts, radio interviews, and have appeared as a keynote speaker numerous times here in the states as well as around Michael Norton the globe.

I continue to be humbled by these opportunities to connect with you. So first, let me say thank you to all of you who send me emails and messages, I sincerely appreciate you all and love our exchanges. Happily, most of our exchanges are extremely positive, after all the column is called “Winning Words.” There is a percentage of our readers who love to challenge me on a thought or an idea that I had shared, and in most cases, it is a very healthy and engaging dialogue. And then there are a few people who try and provoke an argument, all I can say

is that sometimes we just have a difference of opinion.

So here in column number 600, I wanted to answer a couple of questions, and sometimes concerns, that I have received from our community. I am often asked why I have not taken a stance or a position on a sensitive topic.

Some even suggesting that my silence must clearly define how I really feel or intimating that I have always stayed right down the middle, not choosing sides so that I do not offend anyone. And a part of this is very true as my goal is never to offend anyone but to encourage everyone.

Regardless of what has been happening in our community and in our country, my column has remained consistent. Winning words, that’s it. My attempt each week is to inspire hope and motivate top performance. I take all other issues off the table. This is when I receive questions like, “How do you feel about …?” Or “What do you think of …?” And “Where do you stand on …?” You can probably guess this last and most common question over the past two months, “Who are you voting for?”

I am writing this column on Oct.

ike most 15-month-olds in daycare, my daughter has had six colds this year. And every time I have had her tested for COVID-19. Many thought I was being GUEST ridiculous. Then one COLUMN day, after one day of a runny nose, she tested positive. It was a vindication I never wanted. But one I was not completely surprised by.

symptom of COVID-19, I was hesitant to test every patient with the sniffles.

Doctors are trained to think critically and to judiciously utilize testing resources. But if our case numbers are ever going to go down, we all need to stop fearing the test.

If you develop even one COVID-19 symptom — please do not hesitate.

Go get tested, not just for yourself, but for your community. Yes, the COVID-19 symptoms are extensive and common. Most of you are likely to develop a runny nose, cough, fever, chills, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, loss of sense of smell/ taste, sore throats, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea at some point by the end of this year.

It is always possible that your symptoms are from those leftovers you ate or the smoke from the fires.

But America is relying on you to make sure.

Testing is now widely available and at many places, such as the health center where I work, with no out-of-pocket cost. Testing might not change your treatment but it can prevent you from unknowingly infecting someone else — someone who unfortunately could become much sicker than you.

Testing is one way to protect your loved ones and neighbors. But wearing your mask is just as important.

My husband and I tried our best to avoid COVID-19 — we socially distanced and wore masks as much as possible. So far, we have both tested negative. But infection does seem inevitable considering my baby loves sneaking up on me with affectionate “dinosaur” kisses.

My baby could not wear a mask.

I am incredibly grateful that she is doing well, and hopefully, thanks to early detection, we prevented her from spreading it to our friends and family.

I am proud to fight on the frontlines against COVID-19. Please help me in this fight and wear a mask, socially distance and get tested without hesitation. Front-line workers, babies, and the most vulnerable are counting on you.

and I drink a simple lager, how cool is that? You may enjoy a vegan diet, and I am a carnivore, we can both find something on the menu. The important topics where we differ in our beliefs and opinions may be much bigger than these examples, but that does not mean we get to quit on each other.

Where do I stand? My belief is that as a society we cannot buy into the fact that we are too far gone, or that the chasm between us is so wide that we can’t become united again. Some might say that I am being naïve, and that is okay too as we are entitled to our opinions. Other sources might want us to believe that our society cannot be repaired. And that is just not true.

Where do I stand? Where hope begins. For those of you who said I am always right in the middle, you were correct. I am right in the middle of unconditional love, unconditional forgiveness, kindness, gentleness,

compassion, generosity, goodness, encouragement, opportunity, justice, equality and benevolence.

How about you? Maybe I can ask the same question, where do you stand? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com.

And let’s remember that for many of you, by the time you read this the election will be over, and whatever

the outcome, I encourage you to stand where hope begins. And when we do, it really will be better than good for everyone.

Events of 2020 put spotlight on demographics of industry

This year’s Great American Beer Festival was held in a virtual format in October.

BY JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

T

he craft beer industry — like much of America — is facing a reckoning on two levels right now: A pandemic ended more than a decade of growth well short of the industry’s goal to become 20% of the national beer market by 2020 and a racial justice movement highlighted craft brewing’s dominant white male culture and lack of diversity.

The combination led to sobering conversations within the craft beer community at a time the industry typically would have gathered in Denver for a toast at the annual Great American Beer Festival.

The Boulder-based Brewers Association that hosts the festival canceled the nation’s largest beer tasting event this year — and it expects to do the same in 2021 — because of the coronavirus outbreak. Instead, GABF moved into a virtual format in October with the presentation of the much-coveted awards.

The diversity of beers entered into the annual competition surpasses the racial diversity in the craft beer workforce and community. The problem is not new, but the focus on the issue amplified earlier this year amid the Black Lives Matter protests and demands from consumers for more significant change within the beer industry.

“I think our trade was slow to think about diversity, and that’s not good,” said Marty Jones, an industry veteran and beer marketer. “But I’m glad it’s become a topic because we have dropped the ball on being a more welcoming trade.”

Lopsided numbers In Colorado, more than 400 breweries are operating, and just three are Black-owned — Novel Strand and Hogshead in Denver, and Outworld in Longmont. Spangalang Brewing in Denver is in the process of adding a partner, who is Black. In addition, about 10 breweries in Colorado are Latino-owned or focused. The numbers fit national figures from 2018 showing 1% of small and independent breweries are Black-owned and 2.4% are Latino-owned.

The Brewers Association — the trade group that represents independent small brewers across the country — began a program to address the lack of diversity in 2017 that included hiring a diversity ambassador and a grant program. But it took more significant steps in July after facing criticism for not doing enough to address racism actions among its membership.

In mid-June, three weeks after George Floyd’s death in police custody, the association posted a message to social media stating it “stands in solidarity against racial injustice.”

“We strive to create an inclusive community that feels safe and welcome. We will take a stand, we will listen, and we will learn,” the statement continued.

November 5, 2020N

COURTESY PHOTO

The words didn’t satisfy critics who wanted the organization to take a stronger stand against breweries that use insensitive names for beers or face allegations of racial discrimination. On the other side, the association’s leaders said they lost some members because of the decision to speak out.

In an interview last week, Bob Pease, the association’s president and CEO, defended the association, saying it did “quite a bit” to address diversity in recent years. But he also acknowledged “we were a little bit slow on uptake with the killing of (George) Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.”

“We all want a more diverse and equitable craft beer community,” he continued. “And we all have more work to do. We are committed to doing the work.”

Changes in rules In July, the association amended its bylaws to allow for the removal of a member — a provision missing entirely in the prior governing documents. In August, the association introduced a new code of conduct for its members designed to “eliminate discrimination, harassment, and bias of all types.” And in September, the association outlined a grievance process that its professional members can use to police other breweries for violations of the code of conduct.

“We have seen and heard the criticisms and questions surrounding the Brewers Association’s silence regarding racism among its members. We hear you,” Pease said in a July statement announcing the new changes.

“Our limited public response to date has not been sufficient for many but it does not equate to apathy.”

The conversations about race and di-

versity in the craft brewing industry come at a difficult time.

Earlier in the pandemic, industry outlooks suggested that 60% of breweries wouldn’t survive to June.

Those dire predictions proved too pessimistic, as some breweries were able to get financial help or adapt to meet the to-go market, but still more than a dozen have shuttered in Colorado.

The situation remains tenuous, particularly for breweries that built their business on the taproom model selling beers across the bar rather than packaging their beer for sale at retail outlets. In 2019, craft beer volume amounted to 13.6% of the U.S. market, well short of the goals set years earlier in part because of acquisitions from larger brewers.

So far in 2020, overall sales are down about 10%, but breweries’ sales onpremise decreased 40%, the Brewers Association said.

The association is feeling the pinch, too. The cancellation of its events — the Craft Brewers Conference, Homebrew Con and GABF, among others — because of public health concerns cost the organization about 70% of its annual revenue and led to 23 layoffs, or about 35% reduction in staff. The job cuts led to an outcry from brewery guilds across the country and even more criticism of Pease directly regarding his salary and recent hiring decisions.

Other cutbacks included reductions in research spending and the temporary elimination of grant programs, including the one focused on diversity.

Despite the setbacks, Pease is quick to say the association “is here to stay.”

The tightened budget and a financial nest egg built from surpluses in recent years will keep it going at a diminished level. “We are resilient. We are scrappy, just like our members. We are adapting. We are improvising,” he said. “But like many of our members, we have been wounded by the pandemic for sure.”

How quickly it bounces back de-

pends on when in-person events like GABF come to life. The association engaged beer fans with a passport to deals at breweries across the nation for $20, but it won’t amount to a fraction of the normal revenue.

“If and when the world gets back to normal — and I say that with a big `if ’ because who knows what the new normal will look like — but if large events do come back — and we are thinking at this point 2022 at the earliest — we will be fine. We will be right back growing again,” Pease said.

Breweries take action In Colorado, the Black Lives Matter movement inspired action on the part of breweries. WeldWerks Brewing in Greeley donated $10,000 to the local Black Lives Matter chapter and Campaign Zero to end police brutality.

And dozens participated in the Black is Beautiful collaboration brew that benefited local social justice charities.

“Breweries in Colorado recognize it’s not only a lack of diversity in customers but a lack of diversity in staff and how can they create pipelines to address that,” said Shawnee Adelson, the executive director of the Colorado Brewers Guild.

Station 26 Brewing in Denver partnered with Regis University earlier this year to create a diversity scholarship for underrepresented students to complete the school’s brewing certificate program. The first recipients will be named in 2021.

“The brewing industry is not very diverse,” said Matthew Peetz, the director of the program. “It’s mostly white males, and I think that every industry benefits from a diversity of opinions and background.”

Odell Brewing in Fort Collins recently hired a person to coordinate its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts to address the hiring process as well as educate staff.

Wynne Odell, the brewery’s cofounder and a member of the Brewers Association’s board of directors, said the criticism aimed at the brewing industry was a factor, but “it was also all of us waking up in our own organizations and realizing this is a more immediate concern.”

Jones, the veteran beer industry leader, sees this moment as an opportunity.

“It’s only natural that it would become an issue in craft beer. Everyone is taking a look at themselves and wondering if they could do more,” he said.

He added: “What better way to bring people together and find common ground than to talk politely over a couple beers?”

Littleton-area musician’s album on streaming services ‘SAME SHIrT, DIFFERENT DAY’ was released Oct. 23

anymore, but I had the idea it was what I had to do to pay some bills ...”

He figures his present location, close to the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre, is a good choice for a guy who sees his future as a musician instead.

Rice graduated from West Virginia University in 2010 after starting a day job sitting on a rig in 2008, alternated with an office job with the oil company.

For a while, he worked on rigs and in an office in West Texas, where he had a chance to see more major music figures, in addition to Prine and Shaver.

Rice’s wife, who has family in Littleton, Highlands Ranch and Boulder, is a geochemist and Rice “has geology friends in town ...” But there “are no geology jobs” here at this time and Rice is concentrating on this, his second release — with the same band as his first album.

“I chipped away at it for about two years — one piece at a time,” he says, continuing on about how much he “loves going into a studio in Austin and playing live with studio musi-

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rodney Rice, a resident of the Ken Caryl area west of Littleton, developed an interest in music at an early age, he says, as he “pillaged my older sister’s CD and tape collection ... She took me to see John Prine. It was the first concert I went to ...” They sat in the back row. Prine “captivated” the young fan and a story began.

Rice’s recent (Oct. 23) release of his own work, “SAME SHIrT, DIFFERENT DAY,” recorded with a band in Austin, Texas, is now available, streaming from Spotify, iTunes, Amazon and more.

West Virginia, where Rice grew up, “is blue-collar working folks. A lot of my family represents that too. I think people relate to the songs of John Prine and Billy Joe Shaver because there’s some kind of underdog way of life. I don’t want to sit on an oil rig

cians. It’s a company town ...” Songs were recorded one at a time, when he could manage it.

The record case lists personnel on each song in the album. Rice is always there on acoustic guitar and vocals as is Rick Richards on drums, but then on some there is a horn part with sax and trumpet and on another, a Hammond organ chimes in. On “Free At Last,” we find a fiddle and a dobro included. Bassist David Carroll’s name appears often, as does multiinstrumentalist Andre Moran, whose studio is the production location every time.

Rice recently appeared at Golden’s well-known country spot, Buffalo Rose, and is focusing on publicizing the release, since, as he puts it: “There are no geologist’s jobs or music gigs here right now ...”

He has enjoyed the beautiful Colorado Trail and been “fly fishing a lot.”

He rides his bike at all times of year and will “stay positive, keep the eyes and ears open” and hope people will discover his music.

Rice’s favorites? “Memoirs of Our Youth” and “Ain’t Got a Dollar.”

Rodney Rice, a musician living in the Ken-Caryl Valley, recorded his album “SAME SHIrT, DIFFERENT DAY” in Austin, Texas.

Gelato shop aims for sweet success Family-run business brings a taste of Italy to Highlands Ranch

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Barsness family has always loved a cup of gelato.

From their trips to Italy to vacations in the Cayman Islands, the four-member family frequently finds themselves at the counter of a shop selling the creamy, Italian treat. That’s why a few years ago, the Douglas County family began working on a plan to open their own gelato shop in the community.

Now, after months of work and a grand opening delayed by COVID-19, the family has finally started serving at their Gelato & Co franchise in Highlands Ranch.

“People just flocked in,” owner Dean Barsness said. “We were blown away.”

The gelato shop, which also serves handmade pastries and coffee, officially opened its doors in the Central Park area of Highlands Ranch — near Lucent Boulevard and Plaza Drive — on Oct. 12.

The shop, focusing on fresh, artisanal desserts, also has locations in Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, Panama, Aruba and the Cayman Islands.

Dean Barsness, 58, and his family moved to Douglas County about three years ago from Chicago, where Barsness owned an insurance company.

After selling his company, he considered retiring.

The new dessert shop in Highlands Ranch, Gelato & Co, offers a variety of homemade flavors of gelato, including coffee, tiramisu, strawberry and salted caramel.

The Barsness family has lived in unincorporated Douglas County near Roxborough Park for about three years. Pictured from left to right are Sarah, Dean, Susan and Jonathan.

PHOTOS BY ELLIOTT WENZLER

“I still wanted to do something but didn’t know what that was,” Barsness said. “But I wanted to do something very different from the insurance business.”

The Barsness family first fell in love with gelato during their frequent trips to Italy, where Dean’s wife Susan’s father is from. Gelato has similar ingredients to ice cream but uses different ratios, such as more milk, less cream and less fat. It’s also denser and served at a warmer temperature than ice cream.

“We would come home and miss that

daily gelato,” Dean said.

Then, while visiting the Cayman Islands, the Barsness family — including Dean and Susan’s son Jonathan, 26, and daughter, Sarah, 23 — tried a Gelato & Co shop for the first time.

“We went there almost every day,” Dean said, “It was such a happy place all the time.”

After moving to unincorporated Douglas County near Roxborough Park, the family began toying with the idea of opening their own Gelato & Co. Through working with the company’s owners and finding a location for the

shop, they were able to move forward with the franchise.

In late February, they began preparing their store with a mid-June opening date in mind. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Italy and then the United States, the process became much more complicated. Almost everything in the store, including wall art, chairs and cups, needed to be shipped from Italy.

While they waited, Dean focused on hiring their five pastry chefs and other staff through video chat interviews. When they met their head pastry chef, Mariana Ramirez, they found what Susan Barsness called their “silver lining.”

“Hearing the passion come out when (Mariana) was talking about her business, that’s where I was like ‘she’s got to be in,’” Susan said.

GELATO

HEALEY

FROM PAGE 18

FROM PAGE 2

When the Barsness family finally received their materials from Italy in September, they were able to get to work building the store and training their staff.

Community members, many of whom had seen the Gelato & Co sign for months, started knocking on their door when they noticed people inside working, Dean said. Finally, after telling multiple people they weren’t open yet, Dean decided he couldn’t do it anymore.

“I said ‘I’m not turning another person away,’ so we just started letting people in,” Dean said.

Since then, the shop has seen lots of support from the community, with customers coming in even after a snowstorm, Dean said. An artificial fireplace in a corner of the shop provides a warm place for customers to eat their gelato.

Each day, Ramirez and her staff arrive at the shop at 7 a.m. to begin working on the day’s gelato and pastries, which both rotate based on the season and customer input. All of the non-perishable ingredients for these items, such as pistachios, caramel and chocolate, come from Italy.

The rest of the materials, like dairy and fruit, comes from local vendors, Ramirez said.

Gelato flavors in late October included pumpkin pie, cookies and cream, coffee, berry cheesecake and pistachio. The shop also offers gelato sandwiches, cakes and gelato bars.

“We’re trying to bring a little bit of Italy to Highlands Ranch,” Susan said.

might be a difficult story for the community to endure. The readers of the newly acquired newspapers were already getting this. But, now, we hope to do even more for them by providing them with more modern systems, websites and access to our existing journalists serving nearby communities.

For local businesses, this is good news. With one representative and one bill, businesses can now reach premium readers in these communities with an overall reach now of up to 22 communities throughout the metro area, foothills and lower Weld County. Our reach is now about twice that of any other newspaper group in the state.

We believe in community news. Both in print and online. Research shows that having a community newspaper increases civic engagement and the number of political candidates, keeps government expenditures in check and helps boost the local economy. But more important to me is keeping the communities connected and telling good stories about good people. It’s why I do what I do and why I am willing to invest in community newspapers. Purchasing these new publications makes all our newspapers stronger.

Thank you for being a reader of one of our newspapers or websites. We succeed because of loyal readers like you.

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with comments, questions or news tips.

Gelato & Co also offers handmade pastries, cakes and coffee.

Kalen Shoemaker did it all for the unbeaten Legend football team Oct. 30 at Echo Park Automotive Stadium.

But by no means was Shoemaker the whole story. He had plenty of help as the Titans rolled to a 49-0 Douglas County League victory over crosstown rival Chaparral.

The senior quarterback passed for three touchdowns, ran for one and caught a scoring pass as Legend improved to 4-0 for the season, with a league game against Pine Creek (2-0) looming on Nov. 7.

“It felt great,” said Shoemaker. “The rivalry between the schools has been going on for a while.

It’s always a big one and to come out and have a little bit of fun is always a fun deal. It’s taken us a little time to adjust all year and it took us the first half to get firing on all cylinders. But soon as it clicked and we got firing on all cylinders, it felt good.”

Interceptions by Chaparral’s Landen Tuccitto and Jack Schneider ended Legend drives in the first quarter but the Titans managed a 14-0 halftime lead after a 23-yard TD run by Shoemaker and his 13-yard scoring pass to Blake Doud.

“We credited Chaparral for playing real well especially in the first quarter,” said Legend coach Monte Thelen. “The two turnovers definitely stalled us out a little bit. We did get rolling later in the second quarter and I thought in the third quarter we played pretty impressively.

“We’re happy to be 4-0 and feel fortunate to be there. This is the second year in row we’ve been 4-0 but in this six-game season you’ve got to put a lot
