ter understand how the coronavirus is spreading.

Colorado officials have, at times, been quick to paint the cost of testing as simple. “Testing is free,” a March 10 state news release said.

“Whether you have Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance or no health care insurance, cost is not a barrier — there is no copay, there is no out-of-pocket for testing,” Gov. Jared Polis said at a May 18 news conference.

The reality is more nuanced, although many insured Coloradans — if not the vast majority — should be able to undergo testing without costs if they have symptoms or if they believe they have been exposed to COVID-19. Uninsured Coloradans can also access free testing depending on where they seek the service.

On Aug. 11, Polis announced the opening of two new drive-up sites for free public testing at the Aurora

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has appointed James Fisher to deputy city attorney.

Fisher, formerly chief of staff and deputy manager of Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, will replace Michael Hyman, who recently became the town attorney in Castle Rock.

“James is a well-respected leader and attorney who brings 20 years of experience in all levels of government as well as private practice in such areas as employment and labor law, education law, civil rights, and public projects,” Hancock said in a statement Aug. 7 the day Fisher was appointed.

“As Deputy City Attorney, James will support Denver City Attorney Kristin M. Bronson in managing one of the largest, most well-respected public law offices in Colorado. We look to leverage his breadth and depth of experience in this new role for James at the City.”

As Bronson’s right hand, Fisher will oversee the daily operations of more than 100 attorneys and 100 staff who provide legal services for the mayor’s office, the Denver City Council, and well as every city agency, board and commission.

“We are in an unprecedented and challenging time in our city,” Bronson said in a statement. “We need creative

COVID-19 testing: Important, say officials, but is it free?

Some health plans have refused to pay costs, lawmakers say

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than half a year after COVID-19 emerged as a major threat to Coloradans, a big question remains surrounding a key element in the war against the disease: testing, and whether it should be free for everyone.

Widespread confusion over whether getting tested for the virus is free has continued months after Congress appeared to put the question to bed with two laws in March, and questions have still lingered this summer as to when the public may be hit with unexpected costs.

Some health insurance offered by Americans’ employers — known as

self-funded or self-insured health plans — have refused to pay for COVID-19 tests at all or have required that consumers pay some costs, according to a letter from congressional Democrats to federal officials in July.

That’s despite the fact that federal guidance issued in late June appeared to affirm that insurers refusing to pay for tests for those with COVID-19 symptoms, or who had recent exposure to COVID-19, is unlawful. Self-insured plans must cover services related to testing, according to the June 23 guidance by the federal Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Treasury.

But that guidance served up another complication: A rule that COVID-19 testing for employment purposes — such as when a workplace requires tests before employees return to work — are not required to be covered. Neither is testing under proactive public health efforts to bet-

RTD picks 3 CEO finalists, ensuring 1st female leader

James Fisher was appointed

by Mayor Michael Hancock to deputy city attorney on Aug. 7. He steps into the role in mid-September.

COURTESY OF THE DENVER CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE

BY MICHAEL KARLIK COLORADO POLITICS

Three women are under consideration to be the next leader of the Regional Transportation District, as the agency on Aug. 7 announced the finalists to be CEO and general manager.

“We certainly couldn’t have predicted the year we have had, but we are confident that one of these three candidates has what it takes to lead us forward during recovery and beyond,” said RTD Board of Directors Chair Angie Rivera-Malpiede.

Whomever the board selects will be the agency’s first female general manager.

Two of the three finalists hail from the West: Debra Johnson is currently the deputy CEO of Long Beach Transit in southern California. She has worked in public transportation for more than 25 years and has also served at agencies in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles County.

Tina Quigley was most recently the CEO of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. She retired last year after 14 years with the Las Vegas-based transit, planning and traffic management organization. Quigley is also a licensed pilot who first

Through a public-private partnership, she assisted the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority with developing a strategic mobility plan. Le Grand held positions with the Georgia Department of Transportation and other local agencies in the state.

After initially receiving a roster of 58 applicants, the executive search committee at RTD created a list of six semifinalists, which

narrowed to three on Aug. 7.

There will be opportunities for the public and employees to provide their opinions before the board makes its decision, likely in late August.

Fisher, who will step into his new role in mid-September, joined the city’s transportation department, formerly called the Denver Public Works Department, in 2018.

Prior to that role, he worked in Washington, D.C., as a labor and employment attorney for the American Federation of Government Employees. He also worked as an associate general counsel at the Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland, as a senior associate at the Thatcher Law Firm in Maryland and in other roles at the District of Columbia Public Schools.

“It is a tremendous honor for me to serve the residents of the City and County of Denver in this role. Mayor Hancock and City Attorney Bronson have set a standard of excellence for the City Attorney’s Office and its outstanding legal professionals that I fully intend to uphold,” Fisher said in a statement. “My background, breadth of experience and prior service with DOTI leave me well suited to help lead the City Attorney’s Office and I will hit the ground running.”

TESTING FROM PAGE 1

Sports Complex and at Hyland Hills Water World in Federal Heights, joining the existing site at Pepsi Center.

At press time yet another site was expected to be announced south of Denver.

In making the announcement, the governor said fast testing will be the key to stopping the virus’ spread and returning Colorado to normal. “We know that our success against this virus relies on information,” Polis said. “This is a war and intelligence is critical, knowing where the enemy is and if you are in danger.”

Employer-based plans in spotlight In their July 7 letter, congressional Democrats cited a report by Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit news outlet that covers national health policy.

Many Americans are covered by self-funded plans, where an employer’s money pays the claims, KHN reported.

It may not be clear to employees that they are in such a plan, the outlet added.

Many of the companies with those plans have operated as if they’re exempt from the federal rules, the outlet reported May 22.

The U.S. Labor Department, which regulates self-funded health plans, could not immediately be reached for comment on whether self-funded plans are widely refusing to pay for COVID-19 tests or requiring consumers to bear part of the cost in Colorado and other states.

The Colorado Division of Insurance didn’t have information on that question because of its lack of author-

ity over self-funded plans, Vincent Plymell, the division’s assistant commissioner, told Colorado Community Media.

“Knowing the varied nature of employers (and) self-funded plans, it is likely that their approach to these situations is also varied,” Plymell said.

Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act — passed by Congress in mid-March and amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act — health care coverage must generally provide COVID-19 testing and the health care office visits that ultimately result in a test, without any cost-sharing. That’s a term that means the costs consumers pay out of their own pockets, including deductibles, copayments and coinsurance.

The federal June 23 guidance says both insured and self-insured group health plans are required to comply with those requirements.

Testing for workplaces, pandemic data That federal guidance says the requirements don’t apply for testing for employment purposes or testing as part of certain public health datagathering about the pandemic.

“Clinical decisions about testing are made by the individual’s attending health-care provider and may include testing of individuals with signs or symptoms compatible with COVID-19, as well as (individuals without symptoms) with known or suspected recent exposure” to the coronavirus, the federal guidance says.

It adds: “Testing conducted to screen for general workplace health and safety, such as employee ‘return to work’ programs,” or for public health surveillance for the coronavirus, “is

beyond the scope” of the law.

Congressional Democrats — Reps.

Frank Pallone Jr. of New Jersey, Robert Scott of Virginia and Richard Neal of Massachusetts, and Sens.

Patty Murray of Washington and Ron Wyden of Oregon — took issue with that interpretation.

“We find the administration’s revised guidance deeply concerning as it appears to be a change that is without basis in the plain language of the statute,” the lawmakers wrote in the July 7 letter. They added: “Widespread testing must be in place to detect and stop the spread of COVID-19, and ensuring safety in the workplace is critical.”

As of Aug. 6, the Colorado Division of Insurance didn’t know if some private insurers stopped fully covering all consumer costs for testing required by a workplace or for public health surveillance purposes, Plymell said.

The rub over public health datagathering may be moot in Colorado, according to the state public-health department.

“We do several different types of surveillance testing to understand the burden of disease in Colorado — none of those samples are billed to private insurance,” the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said in a statement. “The costs of analysis are captured by public health funding for public health surveillance programs. For example, we take a systematic sample of specimens that test negative for influenza and test them for COVID at the state lab.”

When testing is covered The Colorado Division of Insurance estimates that one-third of Coloradans’ health insurance plans are ones the division regulates; one-third are self-funded plans that the divi-

sion doesn’t regulate; and one-third are public plans, such as Medicaid, Medicare and those of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, according to Plymell.

People with any kind of private health insurance should have free access to the COVID-19 test — along with health care provider visits associated with getting the test — with no co-pays, deductibles or co-insurance charged, according to the state insurance division.

Under the division’s emergency regulation, that’s true not only if a doctor recommends a test but also if a person feels they have symptoms and they need to get tested, Plymell said.

And if a person is asymptomatic but is told by their health care provider that it is medically appropriate to be tested anyway, the test and visit should be covered with no cost-sharing.

“Being exposed to COVID-19 or believing one had been exposed would be the likely scenario why a provider would deem a test medically appropriate if the person was asymptomatic,” Plymell said. Other reasons would likely be on a case-by-case basis.

But Coloradans likely wouldn’t be covered without cost-sharing “if someone is asymptomatic and they think it would just be a good idea to get a test,” Plymell said.

Coloradans should check with their health care provider to be sure of costs.

Medicare, Medicaid, VA For Coloradans with Medicare, all of the costs are covered if a doctor orders a COVID-19 test, according to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

A catalog of chemical weapons used during Denver protests

BY DAVE BURDICK AND DAVID SACHS DENVERITE

Elvira Martinez was on an evening walk with her dogs as protesters took to the streets in Denver for the third consecutive night, marching against police brutality and racism.

It was May 31, and Martinez was tracking the trajectory of the protesters on social media. Around 8:30 p.m., she realized the crowd was heading straight for her family’s home, near 13th Avenue and Ogden Street.

Martinez, her husband and their two daughters had been joining the nightly chorus of howlers showing their support for front-line workers during the pandemic. So on that evening, as it had been many times around 8 p.m., their patio door was open.

As the protesters neared, a gas Martinez couldn’t identify permeated her home in Capitol Hill. “Like a burning plastic smell, it was making my throat itchy,” she said.

The Denver Police Department has confirmed the exact weapons its officers used to control crowds months after protests erupted.

According to information Denverite obtained through an open records request, officers used up to 20 different weapons during protests. Most were chemical agents, carrying names like “Spede-Heat” and “Triple-Chaser.”

(DPD said it could not speak to the weapons used by other law enforcement departments, which, for the first week of protests, did not have to abide by the department’s use-of-force policy, while aiding DPD.) The chemicals, meant to cause shortterm breathing problems and a burning sensation, seeped into the eyes, skin and

lungs of anyone nearby and into homes in Denver’s densest residential neighborhood.

Here’s the list of weapons officers used or “possibly used,” DPD said, to repel people during protests. A records administrator said the department did not record the quantity used.

-- Live-X and Inert pepper balls -- Defense Technology Direct Impact 40 millimeter crushable foam bullet with pepper powder -- Combined Tactical Systems foam bullet with pepper powder -- Defense Technology Riot Control continuous discharge grenade with CS powder (“tear gas”) -- Defense Technology Triple-Chaser separating canister with CS powder (“tear gas”) -- Defense Technology Spede-Heat continuous discharge chemical grenade with CS powder (“tear gas”) -- Defense Technology Military-Style Saf-Smoke grenade -- Defense Technology Maximum HC Smoke large style canister -- Defense Technology Stinger rubber ball grenade with pepper powder -- Defense Technology Stinger 32 caliber rubber ball grenade with pepper or CS powder (“tear gas”) -- Defense Technology First Defense MK-9 Foam OC aerosol reflex trigger (pepper spray -- Combined Tactical Systems Baffled canister grenade with CS powder (“tear gas”) -- Combined Tactical Systems StingBall grenade with rubber pellets and CS powder (“tear gas”) -- Combined Tactical Systems White Smoke grenade for concealment or signaling -- Combined Tactical Systems White

Smoke tactical grenade with irritant -- Combined Tactical Systems outdoor tactical grenade with CS powder (“tear gas”) -- Sabre Red DPS 1.3% OC (pepper spray) Fogger -- Combined Tactical Systems 40 millimeter stabilized foam baton for blunt force impact -- Exact Impact 40mm standard range sponge round Martinez’s house, like many in the area, is older, and the family tends to keep the windows open. But when protests erupted and their 10-year-old daughter started complaining of an itchy throat, they sealed their home as best they could.

The gas-like stuff DPD deployed that Martinez and her family smelled was CS powder.

According to Rohini J. Haar, a doctor at the University of California, Berkeley’s School of Public Health who has studied chemical weapons for seven years, it’s a less toxic alternative to crowd-control weapons typically used by military forces. It also doesn’t stick around as long after it’s deployed. Tear gas can hurt older adults and children more severely, Haar said.

“Especially when tear gas is misused, and it frequently is, like … too much of it is used or in close spaces, chronically it can cause allergic reactions and chronic lung issues,” she said. “That is less common but it is most commonly seen in either children or the elderly or people with known respiratory or chronic issues.”

Chemicals bothered the residents at the Olin senior apartments at 14th and Logan Street, said Mike Wallace, who works at the building.

“Talking to a lot of the residents here,

it was a problem,” Wallace said, adding that while several residents complained, none were hospitalized.

Chelsea Jordan, who lives at the corner of 14th and Pennsylvania avenues, said protesters passed her building three times one night.

“The cops were gassing in our parking lot,” Jordan said the next day with a raspy voice. She hasn’t sought medical help. “To be honest, I don’t have health insurance.”

Debbi Cooper lives in the same building, and she and Jordan were part of a makeshift care station that provided eye washes and other first aid for people who’d been injured in the protests. Cooper said chemicals police used occasionally forced her neighbors to evacuate.

“My one neighbor had her air conditioner, she turned it on and it blew it all in,” she said. “They couldn’t even breathe for hours, they had to be outside.”

Cooper is asthmatic and said her inhaler was no good against the chemicals’ effects. She said her symptoms included “burning, really hard to breathe, coughing till you puke, nose on fire, eyes watering like crazy.”

Those seemingly life-threatening symptoms are by design and supposed to be short-lived, Haar said.

Cooper has not experienced any negative long-term physical effects from her experience, she recently told Denverite.

Martinez said everyone in her family is also fine.

“We don’t have any residual effects,” Martinez said.

COLORCON F E A T U R E S

all-female lineup

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The second annual COLORCON will take place this year on Aug. 28 in the alleyway behind 1112 Broadway. This year will feature a lineup of 13 Colorado female artists.

COLORCON debuted in 2019 and is an annual mural event hosted by the Golden Triangle Creative District in partnership with local businesses. Its purpose is to “reimagine alleyways as iconic destinations,” states a news release.

It is free to attend COLORCON, but this year, special ticketing arrangements have been made to keep the event socially distanced. Attendees must reserve a ticket for a time slot on the event’s website: www.coloradocolorcon.com.

Attendees and artists will also be required to wear face masks for the duration of the event.

A full list of this year’s participating artists can also be found on the event’s website.

Here is a sneak peek at what a few of them have to say about the event.

“It is not common to see an all-feminine lineup in a mural festival. Typically, we are the minority. It is exciting to be painting together for a project like this. I am looking forward to having a big art party with some of (my) greatest friends and favorite creatives.”

— Moe Gram of Verbena Park, Denver

“One of street art’s primary benefits is to its community members who might not visit museums. Many people think that art is a very serious endeavor, but after seeing that artwork can be outside and temporary, visitors are often more open to exploring their creativity simply for fun. An often-overlooked bonus is to the artist community — the public who witness artwork being made appreciate not only the art, but also artists and our efforts.”

— We Are Wild, a collaboration of Meredith Feniak of Capitol Hill and Risa Friedman of northeast Denver COURTESY PHOTOS

“COLORCON is a beautiful way to invite community members and artists into a gallery of their own neighborhood. It brings artists out of traditional spaces and allows them to express their creativity where anyone can view it. It is my hope that events like this continue to inspire communities to tap into their own creativity while making once-overlooked spaces come alive.”

— Kendall Rose Kippley of Golden

“In my experience, people love watching artists make work, and it’s a rare thing to be able to witness a piece being created from start to finish. One of the reasons painting murals is important to me is because it’s artwork that belongs to everyone. An event like this helps to create the feeling of ownership and involvement in the work that people see every day in their community.”

— Olive Moya of Englewood

VOICES How to plan during mayhem

A

rchbishop Desmond Tutu, in the documentary film “I AM,” was asked how to change the world. “How do you eat an elephant?” he replied.

“One bite at a time.”

Behind the humor, what Tutu meant was that everything in life that FINANCIAL seems daunting, STRATEGIES overwhelming and even impossible can be accomplished gradually by taking on just a little at a time.¹ Many of us may feel that our current economic situation is also daunting and staying on track Patricia Kummer with our financial plans may seem impossible. Some have lost jobs, others took early retirement, investments are volatile, medical costs are rising; the list goes on and on.

When our world changes and becomes unpredictable, we tend to shy

Should Focus On.” There is your first bite of the elephant; a half-inch list of things that are important that you can actually impact. That’s where you start to plan. The rest is noise, or, on some days, mayhem.

Richards states, “The amount of time we spend worrying seems to go up exponentially when we don’t have a plan.”

So how do you plan during all of this uncertainty? One step at a time. It is important to stay focused on the goal, even if you have been derailed temporarily. Keeping your eye on the target can help you make better decisions along the way.

One common mistake people make is looking for the quick fix or magic bullet. We advisors see investors searching for the “shiny object” instead of going back and working the financial plan. Chances are the things that appear to be too good to be true can oftentimes get you into more trouble than if you just stick to the plan. Let your advisor help you make the adjustments needed to address your short-term needs

away from trying to plan in any way.

Investors may feel whipsawed by a handful of stocks hitting all-time record highs, while so many other industries are struggling.

It is also difficult to grasp what is going on in the economy when our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter decreased 32.9%.² Corporate earnings are also negative, however, 89% of companies that reported are 22.4% above estimates.³ We call this “less bad.”

So maybe we are not drowning but certainly gasping for air.

We can also be concerned about the political arena, a global recession and China. All of this reminds me of New York Times columnist and author Carl Richards, CFP®.

His famous drawing of two spheres puts this into perspective. Picture two circles about four inches, each overlapping about one-half inch in the middle. In the circle on the left are, “Things That Matter.” In the circle on the right are, “Things You Can Control.” In the tiny part where they overlap are, “Things You

while still keeping on track for the end goal. You will feel less stress and gain confidence in your decisions, which can be something solid to lean on during times of uncertainty.

You don’t need to fix everything at once — that could result in throwing darts at the wrong target. You will find that keeping your plan current helps you make progress, one solid step at a time.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Gardner is unfit to serve One would think by now that Sen. Cory Gardner would have admitted President Trump has been an abject failure in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Asked by CNN for the second time in recent months whether he thought Trump was doing a good job managing the health crisis, Gardner snapped at the reporter: “I’m not going to play political pundit for you.” Really? Gardner’s undying loyalty to the president shows he is as unfit to represent Colorado in the Senate as Trump is to run the country.

While reports show the Trump administration still openly disdains science and is working to distort reality for political purposes, Gardner continues to stand beside Trump’s

failed leadership. Instead of holding the president accountable for the early failures in the administration’s handling of the pandemic and demanding answers, Gardner has blamed China, the World Health Organization and even impeachment for the administration’s shortcomings.

Most Coloradans will make sure Gardner does not serve another term in the Senate. We will replace him with John Hickenlooper, who along with our new president, Joe Biden, will reverse the damage done by Trump and Republicans in Congress, not just related to the coronavirus but also with the economy, the environment and pretty much everything else.

TESTING FROM PAGE 3

Under Colorado’s Medicaid program — Health First Colorado — and the Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), all the costs of testing and the doctors’ visits associated with getting tested are covered, according to the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.

Tests for Medicare and Medicaid members must be ordered by the member’s doctor or other health care provider, said Marc Williams, spokesman for the department.

“Medicaid will cover the test at 100% provided the patient is enrolled in Medicaid and the provider is also a Medicaid-enrolled provider,” Williams said.

Medicaid members can locate enrolled providers through the “find a provider” page at healthfirstcolorado. com/find-doctors, according to Williams.

The Veterans Affairs website says testing is based on many factors, including the severity of symptoms, other existing illnesses or conditions, possible exposure and other criteria.

VA health facilities have been testing veterans who meet the testing criteria provided by the federal Centers for Disease Control, the site says. There’s no charge for testing, according to the VA. For the uninsured A government program to reimburse health care providers and facilities for testing and treatment of COVID-19 for uninsured individuals provides funds to eligible providers, said Scott Kodish, a spokesman for the

federal Health Resources and Services Administration.

Health care providers can request reimbursement and will be reimbursed generally at Medicare rates, subject to available funding, Kodish has said.

For those served by those providers, there are no charges to uninsured patients.

An online CDC page lists health care providers who have agreed to the terms of the program and received reimbursement for COVID-19 testing of uninsured individuals: tinyurl.com/ LocationsForUninsured.

Uninsured Coloradans should contact the state Health Care Policy Department at 303-866-2993 to ask about options. To apply for Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus, visit coloradopeak.secure.force.com.

Local testing sites Some of Colorado’s dozens of local testing sites did not list a recommendation for a doctor’s note for testing in May. Coloradans should contact the state public-health department or the sites themselves for questions about insurance and other requirements they may have for getting tested.

Find the list of locations and contact information at the bottom of the page at tinyurl.com/TestingLocationList at the “find a community testing site” link.

After months of limits on who has priority for testing, the state announced in May that test capacity had grown to include members of the general public with symptoms.

Asymptomatic Coloradans could also be tested at some locations, according to testing sites’ information at the time.

Woman summiting 14ers to help ShelterBox

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

University of Denver graduate student has found a way to combine her love of the outdoors with her passion for helping others.

Brittney Woodrum, 27, is an ambassador for ShelterBox USA — an international disaster relief organization that “focuses on providing shelter to those who have lost it” through natural disaster or conflict, Woodrum said. A ShelterBox is a container of essential items to sustain displaced people.

To bring awareness and raise money for the organization’s COVID-19 emergency relief fund, Woodrum has embarked on her Climbing for a Cause: the Fourteeners Project — she will be climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains.

And she’s climbing them with a 60-liter teal ShelterBox on her back.

“ShelterBox ambassadors tend to do crazy challenges with the box,” Woodrum said, adding the box accompanies them on the physical challenges for awareness purposes. “Physical challenges are nothing new to me (and) I’m always looking for opportunities to combine my passions.”

Woodrum is a triathlete and in the past has participated in physical challenges for various fundraising/awareness events. She became an ambassador for ShelterBox after learning about the organization as she was researching humanitarian groups that she could get involved with as she pursued her master’s degree.

Originally from Kentucky, Woodrum earned her undergraduate degree in nonprofit administration and Spanish from the University of Kentucky. She lived abroad for about five years — most of the time was spent in southeast Asia — and moved to Denver about a year ago to earn a graduate degree in humanitarian assistance from DU. Colorado was particularly attractive to her because of the state’s abundance of outdoor recreation, she said, pointing out that she had heard of Colorado’s iconic fourteeners.

ShelterBox is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in both 2018 and 2019. It got its start as a project by a Rotary Club in England.

What ShelterBox does is provide people who have been displaced because of natural disaster or conflict with the essential items needed to set up a household, said Kerri Murray, president of ShelterBox USA. These items include a tent, in addition to other basic needs such as water filtration, solar-powered lights, warm blankets, cooking equipment and even a children’s activity set, Murray said.

“They’re little things,” Woodrum said, “but they play a big role in keeping vulnerable communities safe.”

ShelterBox has responded to at least

University of Denver graduate student Brittney Woodrum is pictured climbing Colorado’s Little Bear Peak in the Sangre de Cristo Range. Through September, Woodrum will be climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains to benefit ShelterBox USA’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund.

Brittney Woodrum, an outdoor enthusiast who has a passion for helping others, smiles as she summits Blanca Peak in the Sangre de Cristo Range. Woodrum, who is pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Denver, is climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000foot mountains to benefit ShelterBox USA, which is an international disaster relief organization.

COURTESY PHOTOS

Brittney Woodrum pauses for a photo as she makes her way up Longs Peak. Woodrum is an outdoor enthusiast who has a passion for helping others.

300 disasters around the globe, Murray said, including the 2015 earthquake

in Nepal and the earthquake in Haiti in 2010. Since 2012, ShelterBox has

provided emergency shelter to about 250,000 displaced Syrian refugees.

“The need for ShelterBox has grown because of COVID-19,” Murray added.

“And it has also had to adapt because the needs are different for this (public health) disaster.”

One adaption is including water basins and soap in the box, Murray said.

Woodrum had originally planned on doing her Fourteeners Project after she had graduated from DU. But then the coronavirus hit and began to spread worldwide.

“Disasters haven’t stopped just because COVID is happening,” Woodrum said. “It was challenging to be stuck at home and not able to help. I felt this was the time to do this project.

It’s something I can do without putting others at risk” of spreading the virus.

Woodrum is camping on public lands about 97% of the time, and the other 3% will be at a private residence -- no hotel/motel stays are part of the excursion, Woodrum said. She also spent May and June dehydrating food to minimize trips into towns, she added.

The ShelterBox she is hiking with is mostly empty, with the exception of water, snacks and extra layers of clothing, Woodrum said. It weighs about 10 pounds, Woodrum said, adding everybody always wants to know how much it weighs.

Woodrum’s goal is to fundraise $1,400 per peak, for a total of about $80,000, all of which will go to ShelterBox’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. A special peak sponsorship is available for people or a group of people who donate the entire $1,400.

Calling such a supporter a mountain hero, Woodrum will climb the mountain with an item or keepsake that the donor provides and take a photograph of herself at the top with the item. And/or they can choose to get a name mention

by Woodrum in a video at the summit.

She began on July 10. Woodrum expects to finish the challenge with Pikes Peak near the end of September.

Woodrum “wants to make a difference in the world,” Murray said. And “what’s so touching is that ambassadors work to help people who they’ll probably never meet in their lifetime.”

Imagination focuses on plausible ideas Design and Build Competition looks for proposals that could take shape

C R O S SWO R D P U Z Z L E

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For many years, the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood has held a Design and Build Competition. At first, it was aimed at younger students in the area, but it has lately been redirected to collegiate level architects and designers.

“The spirit of Design and Build has always been to solve problems and create through collaboration,” the museum wrote in its competition brief for 2020. “All proposals must include narrative about how collaboration would be utilized in realizing the design. (i.e. fabricators, engineers and architects must work together to realize any design.)”

First, second and third prizes are awarded ($5000, $2,500, $1000).

“Someday, I hope we can build one of these,” project director Tim Vacca said of the Design and Build projects.

The initial call for artists stated the rules and a number of entries were received with accompanying narrative.

Opera on the asphalt in Englewood Renowned soloist performs in parking lot as ‘gift for the community’

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

iuzanna Iglidan of Englewood was supposed to perform at the Los Angeles Philharmonic this summer, in her dream role in Bizet’s “Carmen.”

But COVID-19 threw a wrench in those plans.

With opera performances canceled for the foreseeable future, the Ukrainian-born mezzo-soprano soloist treated her neighbors to a world-class performance in a church parking lot on Aug. 1.

Accompanied at times by her friend Tanya Palamarchuk, Iglidan’s dulcet voice lilted from the parking lot of the Seventh-Day Adventist church at Lincoln Street and Radcliff Avenue, drawing neighbors from their homes to hear a performance seldom heard by those not in a tuxedo or ball gown.

“This is my gift to the community,” Iglidan said. “Music can bring people together and touch their hearts, and I think we all need that difficult times like these.”

Iglidan covered a wide range in the hour-long revue, with selections like “Amazing Grace,” a piece by Schubert and another from “Samson and Delilah.”

“How often do you get to hear music like this in Englewood?” said Leslie Appiah, who came to see Iglidan perform with her husband and two children. “Normally this would cost hundreds. I love exposing my kids to culture. It’s a blessing.”

Iglidan, who was supposed to sing in the Los Angeles Philharmonic this summer, performed a wide range of classic selections in the hour-long performance.
