Colorado may consider small-business relief fund Restaurants now allowed to reopen across the state

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Eateries across Colorado are now allowed to resume sit-down service, but Gov. Jared Polis acknowledged “the pain our restaurants have been through” during the state’s closure of dine-in service.

“And that means everybody,” Polis said at a May 26 news conference. “It means, of course, restaurant owners, but it also means chefs, sous chefs, bussers, wait staff, greeters” and other workers associated with restaurants.

The day before, Polis announced that restaurants could reopen for limited in-person dining as of May 27.

In response to a Colorado Community Media reporter’s question during the May 26 news conference, Polis didn’t say the state could provide immediate financial assistance to help restaurants survive. But he expressed desire to work with the state Legislature on a small-business relief fund and hopes the federal government can offer more help.

“Many restaurants are participating in the (federal) Paycheck Protection Program, but as originally constructed, it didn’t work perfectly for them because they didn’t have a big payroll or any payroll in some cases during the time period where they were closed,” Polis said.

He added: “We hope there’s a piece in the next federal legislation that applies specifically to tourism businesses (and) to restaurants.”

Colorado’s restaurant industry accounts for more than 294,000 jobs, or roughly 10% of statewide employment, according to Polis’ presentation.

In authorizing restaurants to resume dine-in operations, Polis said in a May 25 statement that the state is “still a long way from returning to normal, but these updates are a step in the right direction because Coloradans are doing a good job so far limiting our social interactions.”

He added: “If we can continue staying at home as much as possible, wearing face coverings and washing our hands when leaving the house,

Sierra restaurant in Lone Tree has reopened its dining room. It typically employs 100 people but during the pandemic kept 10 to 15 people working in staggered shifts. On May 18, masked workers cooked up takeout and delivery orders.

JESSICA GIBBS then we will be able to slow the spread of the virus while reigniting our economy.”

But he warned: “If not, it will cost lives, and the economic pain will also be worse.”

Colorado on March 16 ordered bars and restaurants to stop dine-in service for 30 days — still allowing delivery, take-out and drive-through service — in a bid to slow the spread of COVID-19.

But extensions of the shutdown have kept restaurants and bars closed — except in counties with waivers from state requirements — until now.

Restaurants are now able to open with limited seating, with different parties spaced at least 6 feet apart, and the state is encouraging local officials to allow expanded outdoor seating options. Polis has suggested cities and counties should consider seating on sidewalks, parking lots and even streets. Municipal parking areas could also be an option, he said.

“That’s really the only way, with the spacing, that we’re going to have

a thriving restaurant” industry, Polis said at a May 18 news conference.

He added: Restaurants “simply can’t stay in business with a quarter or half capacity.”

Polis also hopes restaurants would expand on their own property outdoors and on adjacent or nonadjacent private plots nearby, as long as they have permission of the landowner.

Bars, however, don’t all have the green light to open for dine-in service. The state will evaluate in June whether establishments that do not serve food can open, according to a fact sheet from the governor’s office on the new guidelines.

“The intent of this guidance is to open establishments in which people traditionally associate only with those in their party,” the fact sheet says.

Whether a business can open as a restaurant depends on whether it is set up to host patrons for meals, the fact sheet continues.

“In many cases, this is straightforward when an establishment already

functions as a conventional restaurant and has a full-service kitchen,” the fact sheet says. “There may be some establishments, like breweries with large indoor and outdoor spaces, that want to change their business model to reopen and operate like a restaurant. In these cases, food must be provided by a licensed retail food establishment.”

A business could partner with neighboring restaurants to provide food or partner with food trucks, according to the fact sheet. Light snacks, such as bar nuts, or things that are commercially prepared somewhere else and heated up in a microwave don’t count as food service. Allowing patrons to bring their own takeout or order food from an app does not count either, the fact sheet says.

Any establishment that can adhere to the state’s guidelines and ensure access to food for on-premise consumption can open, the guidance from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says.

Reopening Michael Scruggs and Bridget Logan opened Front Range Pharmacy in April with the goal of providing more personalized care for their customers. PHOTOS COURTESY OF MICHAEL SCRUGGS

Independent pharmacy aims for personal touch Front Range Pharmacy has made Englewood its home

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While working as a pharmacy manager at a Rite Aid Pharmacy and a Walgreens from June 2017 to October 2019, Bridget Logan felt frustrated with her role related to patient care.

Logan’s job required her to make phone calls to patients to try to get them to refill their prescriptions. She said it’s easy to get into a system of having yourself glued to a computer and never speaking to patients on a personal level.

“I just felt like everything I was being asked to do went against what my patients needed. The sole purpose was to pump up prescriptions as soon as possible,” said Logan. “I didn’t feel like it was my purpose as a health-care provider.”

Frustrated with her role and with an eye on providing a personalized touch and more care with patients, Logan and her best friend and fellow pharmacist Michael Scruggs set out to open their own independent pharmacy.

The two accomplished that goal on April 21 when they opened Front Range Pharmacy in Englewood at 3401 S. Broadway — a large building in which their space is at the corner of Englewood Parkway and Acoma Street.

Front Range Pharmacy is a fullservice pharmacy that offers prescriptions, immunizations, birth-control services, vaccines for international travel, medical reviews and everyday drugstore items.

“We can do everything that a Walgreens or a King Soopers can do.

We just try to do it with more care with the patients and not treating the pharmacy as an errand or stop — but an interaction with your health-care provider,” said Scruggs. “That is

Logan said she and Scruggs wanted to find a place with a small-business community nearby. They felt Englewood offered that, and they fell for their pharmacy’s building that offers natural lighting.

“It feels like this is a small town in a big city, and that is how I always wanted to open a pharmacy,” said Scruggs.

Principal moving on after decade leading Finest Bobbie Skaggs has been with school for quarter-century

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bobbie Skaggs was destined for a career in secondary education. Growing up in Pampa, Texas, she holds fond memories of her father, who was an agriculture teacher at Pampa High School.

Skaggs’ father passed away at age 42, and she said he had around 500 people at his funeral because of the students he impacted during his career.

Her mother also worked at Pampa High School, where she taught home economics, and Skaggs said former students will stop her in Pampa to thank her.

“Those two things always impacted me,” said Skaggs.

Following in the footsteps of her parents, Skaggs accepted a job in 1995 as a night supervisor at Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice in Englewood — then known as Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School.

After she worked her way up through other roles, including career counselor and assistant principal, Skaggs accepted a job as the school’s principal in 2010. But after 25 years at the school and 10 years as its princi-

state — particularly ones that will give her opportunities to educate future teachers.

Before coming to Colorado’s Finest, Skaggs taught teen choices at a middle school in Richardson, Texas, a nutrition class for nurses at Clarendon College in Texas, and secondary education at Pittsburg State University in Kansas.

Skaggs was ready to accept a position as a family and consumer science teacher at Cherry Creek Schools before joining Colorado’s Finest. But the idea of working in a small, tight-knit community like Englewood spoke to her heart, she said.

“I just decided I was more interested working with at-risk youth. I found those were the students I had a tendency to lean toward because they needed more support,” Skaggs said.

Under Skaggs’ leadership, Colorado’s Finest has the highest rating possible for an alternative school through the Colorado Department of Education. In 2019, she was named the High School Principal of the Year for Colorado by the Colorado Association of School Executives and the Colorado Association of Secondary School Principals.

Skaggs wants to remove the stigma from alternative learning, and in 2014, she helped lead the way to change her school’s name from Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School to Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice.

“I have so much pride in the quality of education provided at Colorado’s Finest. I think alternative education may often be perceived as a less than quality educational experience,” said Skaggs. “I am confident that (Colorado’s Finest) graduates have had the very best teachers and a high-quality education which, quite frankly, they deserve it.”

Although she didn’t get to spend the majority of the second half of her final year at the school because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Skaggs said she was glad she was able to experience

the challenge of the response to it. She said she was impressed that students were willing to adjust and engage in a remote learning environment.

Hundreds of students have walked through Colorado’s Finest during Skaggs’ time, and some like Garrett Larance said she affected their lives in a positive way.

Larance graduated from Colorado’s Finest this year and said Skaggs worked hard to make sure the school operated correctly.

“I thought Bobbie was an amazing principal and really focused on community in the school. That’s something I really value,” said Larance.

“Having that connection with the teachers and students to help you through those hard times mentally or to get you through the next assignment — Bobbie was great at doing those type of things.”

Skaggs said the biggest lesson she learned at Colorado’s Finest was how resilient students can be. She said many students at the school have overcome or are overcoming a multitude of challenges. Despite that, she said her students have been willing to give education another chance.

“It was inspiring on so many levels.

I would say to sum up the lesson learned: Be kind — you never know what someone is going through,” she said.

Englewood Middle School Assistant Principal Cyndy Chick will take over Skaggs’ role. Skaggs is planning to leave for Texas in the middle of June. “(Skaggs) is a champion for all kids and making sure that all kids have a path to succeed. And just because they weren’t successful in a traditional secondary school setting, she is always keenly aware of their worth, their potential, and she has moved mountains to make sure students realize their potential, find success and seek pathways toward the future,” said Englewood Schools Superintendent Wendy Rubin. “She’s an incredible educator and incredible human being.”

Castle Rock coffee shop files lawsuit over shutdown C&C Coffee and Kitchen drew national spotlight for Mother’s Day crowd

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Castle Rock restaurant that drew national attention for opening to in-person dining on Mother’s Day in defiance of state and public health orders is suing the governor along with state and local agencies.

Attorney Randy Corporon filed the lawsuit on behalf of his clients, C&C Coffee and Kitchen owners Jesse and April Arellano, on May 22 in Douglas County District Court.

The Arellanos are alleging shutdowns of the restaurant industry during the COVID-19 pandemic were government overreach and constitutional violations that created “economic catastrophe” for their operation.

The suit names Gov. Jared Polis, the State of Colorado, the Tri-County Health Department, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and CDPHE Executive Director Jill Hunsaker Ryan as defendants.

Tri-County Health Department had ordered the restaurant to close and CDPHE indefinitely pulled C&C’s business license on May 11, the day after Mother’s Day.

A steady stream of people stopped by C&C Coffee and Kitchen on May 12. Some hoped to order food and found the restaurant closed. Others taped cash donations to the storefront. A few came simply to see the spectacle.

JESSICA GIBBS Polis and Hunsaker Ryan rebuked the business’ actions in statements and press conferences following the Mother’s Day incident, saying it could threaten lives and further the spread COVID-19.

The business’s reopening sparked a fierce debate regarding when to ease restrictions on small businesses experiencing economic hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic, while

also drawing strong criticism for the restaurant’s lack of social distancing that day.

Crowds packed the restaurant, masks were scarce and a line formed out the door.

The court filing refers to Polis’ categorization of essential and non-essential businesses during his pandemic response as arbitrary.

The lawsuit states that “given the

governor’s unprecedented and unlawful exercise of executive authority” the court should “declare the defendants’ actions against plaintiff ultra vires (beyond one’s legal authority), unconstitutional and, therefore, void and of no effect.”

The Arellanos operate two locations of C&C Coffee and Kitchen, one in Castle Rock and one in Colorado Springs. The first opened in 2013 and the second in 2019.

The restaurants closed to dine-in on March 17 when the CDPHE issued a public health order closing all bars, restaurants, theaters, gyms and casinos, according to the filing.

The lawsuit states the Arellanos attempted to comply with the public health orders by offering curbside service until May 10, choosing to reopen its Castle Rock location then “due to several financial hardships.” The Castle Rock location has remained entirely closed since May 11.

The lawsuit says the coffee shop and restaurant earned a profit between Jan. 1 and March 14, but that revenue declined 55% the week of March 17 and it operated “at a further loss” from then on, despite laying off employees and cutting other costs.

The business is now in debt, the lawsuit states, and may not be able to reopen. The lawsuit asks the court to reverse the orders suspending its operation and award the Arellanos relief for attorney fees and costs incurred by suing.

Creative Coloradans plan virtual art festival June 5-7 STAFF REPORT

Six Colorado artists have felt the impact that the cancellation or postponement of art festivals has had on their art careers, according to a news release, and have planned a virtual art fair.

Using Facebook Events, artists Liz Covert, Lauri Dunn, Victoria Eubanks, Amelia Furman, Katie Hoffman and Rita Valis have found a way to connect with their audiences.

Artists will offer behind-thescenes views of their studios and artistic process, and some will set up displays. Viewers

can ask questions about their work, purchase artwork and have it delivered to their home, the release said.

“Art fairs are such a special way to connect with your audience. Not only can patrons see a variety of work in one place, but they really offer an opportunity for a relationship to develop between artist and buyer.

I’ve created the event to mimic that special aspect of art fairs,” event creator Lauri Dunn said in the release.

The Colorado Artists Virtual Art Fair features a range in artistic styles and mediums:

• Liz Covert offers hand forged jewelry, art and accessories; vist www.covertmetals. com • Lauri Dunn transforms her photographs of insect wings into kaleidoscopic images and three-dimensional photo sculptures; www.laurirosephotography.com • Katie Hoffman is inspired by magic, mythology, and folklore.

She uses layers of oil paint, impasto media, powdered pigment, and beeswax to create her dreamlike paintings; www. katiehoffman.com • Amelia Furman works in

paper collage and oil paint to create narrative landscapes.

Her infusion of collage elements whisper to the viewer of past and present stories that make up the character and personality of a place and invite the viewer to connect to the subject matter on a deeper level; www.ameliafurman.com • Victoria Eubanks creates for the sheer joy of saying “Look what I made today.” She first applies layer after layer of encaustic paint, using heat to fuse the layers. Then scraping, sometimes outright gouging, exposes new patterns and textures. It is

a very physical process that lets the piece tell the story; www. victoriaeubanksart.com • Rita Valis creates pottery combining fresh modern form and graphic patterns. She is inspired by landscape, textiles, botany and the microscopic world; www.ritavali.com The June 5-7 event can be accessed at www.facebook. com/events/3048063495254081, or by searching for Colorado Artists Virtual Art Fair on Facebook.

Great American Beer Festival to move online For first time, Denver suds celebration won’t happen in-person

WE’RE HERE FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

BY ANA CAMPBELL DENVERITE

Pour one out for the Great American Beer Festival. The annual competition held in Denver won’t happen at the Colorado Convention Center Sept.

24-26 as planned and will instead go online only on Oct. 16-17.

The Convention Center has turned into an overflow hospital, albeit an empty one for now, making it unavailable to host big events.

“While we are disappointed to not be gathering in Denver this fall for the craft beer community’s annual big tent event, the health and safety of our attendees, brewers, volunteers, judges, and employees is and always has been our top priority,” said Bob Pease, president and CEO of the Boulder-based Brewers Association, in a statement.

“As the world is still greatly affected by the spread of COVID-19 and will continue to be affected for the foreseeable future, we must stay true to our priorities and pursue other ways to host GABF.”

Most insurance plans accepted, including Medicaid.

The competition aspect of the festival will continue, with more than 100 judges sorting through some 7,000 expected entries to award the famed GABF gold, silver and bronze medals.

‘Every day is Memorial Day for me’ Remembering those who gave all for their country

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O

n a mountainside in Afghanistan in 2005, Danny Dietz, graduate of Littleton’s Heritage High School and Navy SEAL, gave his life for his country.

Nearly 15 years later, his father, Danny Dietz Sr., spent Memorial Day in the shade beside his son’s grave at Fort Logan National Cemetery.

Danny Sr. greeted many visitors who thanked him for his family’s sacrifice.

“It’s hard for me to come here and see my boy lying in the ground like that,” Dietz said.

“But on days like today, so many people come by and tell me they remember him. It means something. Every day is Memorial Day for me.”

Nearby, the Dauro sisters -Grace, 5, Caroline, 3, and Vivienne, 1 -- wandered among the headstones, laying rose after rose on grave after grave.

“Stand up, stand tall and be proud to be an American,” said Bill Baldaccini of VFW Post #4666.

“Be devoted to your country.”

MEMORIAL FROM PAGE 8

The girls’ dad, Michael, a former Navy SEAL, said he brings them every Memorial Day. “These people shed their blood,” he said. “I want my girls to know that freedom isn’t guaranteed. It can be taken and lost, and people have paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it. It’s worth defending.”

At Littleton’s World War II memorial in Ketring Park, Jan Merchant watched as the band of brothers from Veterans of Foreign Post No. 4666 honored the fallen.

For the first time, she was there without her father, Earle Reed, who served in the Army in World War II and died last year at age 103.

Reed only moved to Colorado at age 96, Merchant said, but made fast friends with the fellow veterans at the VFW. Stan McClure, who served with the Army in a remote jungle base in

Grace Dauro, 5, lays a rose on a grave at Fort Logan National Cemetery as her sister Vivienne looks on.

At the lectern, retired Marine Col. Richard Swedberg called for a blessing.

“We remember those that served alongside these great warriors,” Swedberg said. “Those who are missing friends. Those that wonder why great men and women died and they are alive with only their memories. Bless them and bless their service.”

VOICES

Money is in the cards, and some will stay there

our million Americans will find a prepaid debit card in their mailbox soon, if not already.

I found mine. How QUIET about you?

DESPERATION The Economic Impact Payment Cards are going to certain people who filed a tax return but don’t have bank information on file.

At first I thought it was a scam. No: It simply turned out to be a pain in the neck.

Craig Marshall To activate the card, I had to call an Smith 800 number.

I guess they’re kind of busy. At least that’s what I was told over and over and over. It was mind-numbing. I thought it might be a tactic. One of many.

Eventually, I spoke with a customer service representative. She asked me everything except my birth weight.

Then came a series of questions.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Follow safe health guidelines Since the owners of C&C Coffee and Kitchen (in Castle Rock) are not afraid of the COVID-19 virus and its related laws, I must doubt their adherence to hygiene and health codes in general. If they do not understand how masks and distancing prevent the airborne spread of contagion, how could anyone have confidence that they keep their plates and utensils sanitized, practice safe food prep and storage, or even check that their servers wash their hands after they use the restroom?

They’re not bothered by bacteria, germs, virusus, or legal compliance for the greater good, so why should you be?

Seriously, folks, data proves that masks and distancing WORK in keeping COVID-19 from spreading, so just do it. I have struggled to pay my rent.

I have also watched someone struggle to breathe as they died. Guess which is worse?

with anyone.

Who knows?

Maybe your experience was or will be better than mine. In any case, read the letter that comes with the card, and take a look at the May 19 Forbes article that answers frequently asked questions about the cards.

Momma said.

Momma said, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” meaning don’t question the value of a gift.

Checking a horse’s teeth is one way to determine its age.

You’ve heard another expression, namely that someone is “long in the tooth.”

As a horse ages, its gums recede, making the teeth look longer.

As I held my Economic Payment Card, I heard my mother telling me what not to do.

She’s been dead these 12 years but I am still governed at times by her guidance.

Coincidentally, as essayed two months ago, I was scheduled for gum surgery with Dr. Kim. It is now com-

She wanted to know what state someone I have never heard of lived in.

And who “Micah” was.

I correctly answered the question about the make, model and year of my car, but it wasn’t good enough and I was denied activation.

However, something else was activated: my aggravation.

I thought it was pretty clever to issue cards rather than a paper check, which could have been deposited directly.

Maybe you already know this: according to cnbc.com, “Half of Americans currently own unredeemed gift cards or store credits and that adds up to tens of billions in unused money.

More than one-third with unused cards won’t use up all of the funds.”

The experience was so aggravating I thought about throwing the card away.

I counted to 10 and called the 800 number again.

For some reason, I was guided through a different menu and was able to activate the card without listening to the outgoing messages or talking

pleted.

The procedures were costly. My Economic Impact Card is spoken for.

I am, in short, an aging horse, and if I had my choice it would be Seabiscuit: a plucky, unlikely-looking, top money-winning racehorse.

I recommend Laura Hillenbrand’s book, “Seabiscuit: An American Legend,” but not the film based on the book, or the 1949 Shirley Temple film “The Story of Seabiscuit.”

Watch it for actual footage of some of Seabiscuit’s races and skip the parts where Temple swoons over the jockey.

The debit cards, as an alternative to easily deposited checks, were a shrewd idea. The obstacles to activate them and the fact many will never be used partially or fully saves someone money.

Seven pounds, six ounces.

We win when we expect more from ourselves

H

ave you ever wondered why sometimes we can get so frustrated and even angry at other people because they aren’t serving us fast WINNING enough, meeting our needs and demands, WORDS or just behaving in a way that we don’t agree with?

Maybe it’s our neighbor, our family, or a company representative who isn’t helping us fast enough. It could be a coworker, a customer, Michael Norton or even our boss. Maybe it’s the confusion and neediness of our pets and their inconvenient timing during our virtual meetings as they jump into the picture or bark or meow in the background.

And maybe, it’s someone who is or isn’t social distancing the way that we are.

Here’s the harder question: When was the last time we held ourselves to that same standard? That standard that we hold everyone else on the planet

accountable to comply with. For many of us, that look in the mirror is exactly what we need right now as we try and work through all the challenges we are facing today. Whether it’s within our homes, working from our homes, talking to friends and neighbors, or being a part of the community in any way, we should encourage one another to expect more from ourselves and maybe set the example for others.

Service will be slower, let’s expect that to happen. Confusion about the products we ordered and didn’t receive or when we received the wrong size or color can be controlled as we put ourselves in the headset of the customer service person on the other end of the phone or in your chat window.

And as we walk together through the days, weeks, and months ahead, we will confront many moments where we will have a disagreement or a difference of opinion. And that’s OK, because as we begin to expect the best from ourselves, and make expecting the best from ourselves a habit, we really will not care how others choose to react, we only know how we will respond.

Success and winning are never measured in how we stack up against other people, success and winning are only defined by what we did relative to what we are capable of doing and what we expect from ourselves each day, in all that we do, and in all that we say. Success and winning have a magical moment when we can look in the mirror and know the good that we did and also identified what we still need to work on in ourselves.

A good friend and mentor of mine, Dr. Denis Waitley, created a program called The Psychology of Winning.

And in his program, Denis talks about positive self-expectancy. Here is what he says: “Positive self-expectancy is the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a top achieving, winning human being. Positive self-expectancy is pure and simple optimism: real enthusiasm for everything you do. And optimism is expecting the most favorable result from your own actions.”

Local author’s sci-fi books eye extraterrestrial intelligence

A

fter a career in journalism, local author Rich Bangs has spent the past 10 years creating a sci-fi trilogy exploring extraterrestrial intelligence: “ForSONYA’S given,” “Forgotten” SAMPLER and “Forsaken,” which are available from our local Tattered Cover, as well as online and from the author. “I had the desire to write a novel and science fiction seemed the most desirable setting.” Bangs looked Sonya Ellingboe at the lengths some might go to explore the subject, he writes.

Summer camps?

Check your recreation district or other location — it appears many summer camps are on, but details are still being developed by presenting agencies. Facilities are a moving target — again check online often ... Parks and trails? Mostly open but check your target before setting out.

Athletic contests “await state orders,” according to South Suburban Parks and Recreation District.

Updates from Denver Art Museum Interesting copy from Denver Art Museum on 18th- and 19th-century pandemics and their effects on the Great Plains Indian tribes. For example, between 1714 and 1919, there were 36 major epidemics recorded in art pieces, such as pictorial calendars in the museum’s collection. The Mandans were almost wiped out entirely, which means not so much pictorial material exists to speak to us about tribal history today. Also, because some tribes moved a lot and some combined forces, attribution of items is sometimes difficult. Conservators become storytellers.

The DAM plans on opening its new building and renovated North Building in June — dates and appropriate celebration TBA. We are excited! In the meantime, enjoy virtual touring, especially of the “Natural Forces: Winslow Homer and Frederic Remington” exhibit. Spend as long as you like contemplating a single painting by one of these significant American artists, without that tall guy in the big hat moving in front of you!

See the new “Museum from Home” section of the website. Also, visit “Untitled: Creative Fusions at Home” with focus on local creative folks; Nicole Anona Banowetz, Ryan Foo and Molina Speaks ... It speaks to the role of artists in these difficult times: more from ourselves and live daily with positive self-expectancy, we will minimize reacting poorly and maximize how we respond favorably.

How about you? Do you expect more from yourself ? Do you hold others to a different standard than you hold yourself ? I would love to hear all about your positive self-expectancy story at mnorton@tramazing.com and when we expect more from ourselves it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Banowetz who found most of her trademark inflatable projects (seen at Museum of Outdoor Arts in the past), has made more-than-usually interesting masks; Foo, with Steven Sampson, “created WeAreDenver.org to build a platform for the local community of makers and creators”; Molina Speaks worked with a dozen artists to create a digital gift basket, which is found on the Warm Cookies of the Revolution’s website, and he has cocoordinated the Denver Metro Area Artist Relief Fund which has raised almost $15,000 to support artists who have lost work. More is needed ...

“Creativity is my roadmap to mental and emotional health and spiritual wealth,” he said ... “Artists need to provide the blueprint for getting through this ... we need to push the social imagination for what comes next ...” See denverartmuseum.org.

Note: We hope readers can support a favorite organization — large or

small — with a bit extra.

Juneteenth The annual Juneteenth Music Festival, “DREAMBIG” will be virtual on June 18. JuneteenthMusicFestival. com.

Reminder We have mentioned the Colorado Mask Design Challenge, but will repeat for school-aged children: All Colorado schoolchildren are invited to create a design representing the masks they want to see at their school, neighborhood or home ... Program guidelines and entry submission forms can be found at: coloradocreativeindustries.org/masks.

Sounds like a good summer art project to us ... some will be featured on Colorado Creative Industries’ Facebook and a select few will be printed on a real mask by Colorado companies ...

LIFE

Patrick Boland perseveres, helps others despite ‘suicide disease’

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or eight years, Patrick Boland, 16, has lived with a pain throughout his body that is so excruciating, it can feel as if he’s wrapped in barbed wire, doused in gasoline and set on fire.

He has had a headache for the past five years: It’s in his eyes, in his gums, everywhere.

He stopped attending school in person in the eighth grade and has had to relearn to walk four times when the constant, unimaginable pain — caused by a rare neurological condition — became too much.

But the Highlands Ranch teen never stays down for too long.

His passion for baseball gets him out of bed each morning. His treatment regimen propels him through each day. His mom, younger sister and several friends who understand his reality bolster his spirits.

And fierce independence and unwavering self-discipline form a bedrock of inner strength and have led him to want to create a community for others in his shoes.

Six years ago, Patrick, with his mother’s help, started the nonprofit Ferocious Fighters to connect those dealing with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or CRPS. “CRPS is known as the suicide disease,” his mother Meg Boland said.

“Patrick was really in a bad place and didn’t want other people to feel as alone as he did.”

It has taken years of doctors’ appointments, experimental treatments and grit, but today, Patrick stands strong despite his physical suffering.

“I think I handle the pain really well at this point. But it took a really long time,” he said. “The pain doesn’t affect any functionality anymore — even if it’s as high as it can possibly be.”

The diagnosis Patrick was 8 when he jumped from a step in his front yard and twisted his left ankle. Four months later, he was still in excruciating pain. His ankle was cold to the touch. It turned purple.

“The doctors did an MRI and called me and said, ‘Everything is normal,’” Meg said. “And I said ‘Well, he hasn’t walked in four months.’ ...We went to the first physical therapy visit and within five minutes of being with Patrick, they said ‘This is CRPS.’” CRPS is a neurological condition that causes patients to experience constant nerve pain even after an injury has healed.

The illness is shrouded in mystery with very little known about its cause or how to treat it effectively, said Dr. Jeffery Kesten, one of Patrick’s physi-

Patrick Boland, 16, blends in with his fellow teammates despite his medical conditions. What makes him unique is his hard work, a coach for Mountain Vista baseball said.

Patrick Boland, 16, helps clean up the Mountain Vista High School baseball field during a practice in February. cians. Experts believe patients with CRPS likely have a genetic predisposi-

tion to the disease, but there is virtually always an inciting event, such as

a minor injury or surgery.

Sometimes, patients will experience swelling, color or temperature changes and nail or hair growth changes.

“He used to describe it as being wrapped in barbed wire, doused in gasoline and set on fire,” said Meg. One pain scale, called the McGill Pain Index, ranks CRPS higher than amputation of a finger without anesthesia and unprepared childbirth.

After his initial diagnosis in 2012, Patrick continued to receive more and more diagnoses for other conditions sometimes related to CRPS, including a lacking immune system, weakened cartilage and ligaments, frequent muscle cramps and other issues.

He has been in and out of a wheelchair as the nerve pain and other symptoms spread to the rest of his body, as it often does for CRPS patients.

About 200,000 people in the U.S. experience the condition every year, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders.

While specialists can offer a variety of treatments, there is no cure.

The best CRPS patients can hope for is finding subtle relief, functioning through the pain or, if they’re one of the lucky ones, remission. Patrick has never entered remission, he said.

People with a CRPS diagnosis also commonly experience suicidal ideations, Kesten said. That’s why the illness has been dubbed “the suicide disease,” according to the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Sydrome Association, a nonprofit supporting people with CRPS, sometimes known as RSDS. “It must be a horrible place to be,” Kesten said. “I would be concerned if a patient did not have mental health support in a true chronic pain condition because I don’t have a clue how it would not get to you and those around you.”

Starting Ferocious Fighters Patrick, deemed a gifted student a few years before his initial injury, was 10 years old when he decided he wanted to help other kids with CRPS by sending them all care packages.

BOLAND FROM PAGE 12

But Meg explained that as a teacher at a Douglas County charter school, she couldn’t afford to send every kid with the disease a package.

“He said, ‘Well, how does Make-AWish do it?’ And I said well, they’re a nonprofit. He said ‘Well, let’s do that,” she remembers.

In 2014, Patrick registered Ferocious Fighters as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Six years later, 1,253 kids in 19 countries are linked together through the organization. They range in age from newborns to 21-year-olds and live all over the world. Thirty kids are from Colorado, nearly all living along the Front Range. There are six in Douglas County.

That first year, the organization sent 70 care packages. In 2019, the number jumped to 350. So far, the organization has sent more than 1,000 packages total.

The packages include a blanket, a Ferocious Fighters T-shirt, a keychain, a hand-crocheted hat, a bumper sticker, a journal and rice hand warmers. All have flames on them to symbolize the burning pain that the kids experience.

They also include a hand-written, personalized letter from Patrick.

“I’m so sorry that you’re having such a great amount of sensitivity on your left leg,” he wrote in one letter.

“I know how hard that can be to deal with.”

Each letter ends with his sign-off: “Gentle Hugs, Patrick.”

There also are the quarterly encouragement letters and birthday cards. And every November, Ferocious Fighters organizes a virtual walk to encourage the kids to get moving, an important treatment for their disease.

The group also organizes dozens of support groups for kids and parents throughout the world.

In a note to Meg and Patrick, one mother expressed how much the package meant to her daughter.

“She will not be dancing at the dance or marching with the bands, she cannot keep up with friends and has missed out on several school trips and clubs,” read a note from Nina Nation, the mother of a 13-year-old in Nevada. “But tonight, she got a package with her name on it, for her.

She smiled. ... She opened the box and cherished everything inside piece by piece.”

Patrick has tried dozens of treatments throughout the years, including a host of prescription medica-

tions and experimental treatments.

He’s been in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber; tried medical marijuana; taken ketamine pills; attempted painful “exposure therapy” sessions, which try to desensitize the patients’ nerves by vigorously rubbing them with a coarse blanket; seen chiropractors and massage therapists and more.

After eight years, Patrick has found a cocktail of supplements, medications and treatments that work for him. On top of his daily pills, he receives weekly immune boosters through an IV and, every three months, he undergoes an intense ketamine infusion used to treat chronic pain conditions.

One morning in February, Patrick entered Kesten’s infusion clinic wearing a Mac Miller T-shirt, a beanie and sweatpants. At 6 feet 3 inches, he towered over his mother and the infusion director who is administering his treatment. As she prepared the medication, the infusion director asked what pain he was feeling on a scale from one to 10.

“It’s at an eight, but that’s only in my back and the rest of the body is a five,” Patrick said. “So really, really good.”

His baseline of pain on a daily basis is about a seven out of 10, he said.

It’s Patrick’s second day of the infusion therapy and, already, he’s reporting improved comfort. The treatment isn’t without side effects, however. He vomited the night before and on the way into the clinic. In the past, he’s experienced hallucinations, inability to eat, anxiety and memory loss from the treatment.

Every baseball day is a good day When asked about what parts of his day-to-day life bring him comfort and joy, Patrick has two answers: medication and baseball.

Patrick, who plays a variety of positions including first base and pitcher, wants to play in college with the longterm goal of being on a professional team.

Even though his education is online through Colorado Connections Academy, Patrick plays baseball for Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch.

“Baseball keeps him alive,” his mom said. “This is his passion, this is what makes him want to get up in the morning.

Patrick Boland, 16, poses in his Mountain Vista baseball uniform before being required to turn it in. The school’s spring baseball season was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

COURTESY PHOTO To his coaches, Patrick is just another athlete, said Ron Quintana, Mountain Vista’s head coach. What makes him stand out isn’t his constant battle with his health, but his deep discipline and fervent work ethic, he said.

“The other day we were working out and he didn’t have a ride to practice, ... so he ran from home,” Quintana said. “When I ask him to do something, he will sprint to it.”

It may not look like it, but as Patrick trots around the baseball field during practice, helping wherever he can, he’s still in pain.

In February, before his most recent ketamine session, Patrick was experiencing the most intense pain he’s ever endured, he said.

But, he said, there’s a bright side.

“I’m at my worst right now. And I’m so happy to say that,” Patrick said before the treatment. “I’m still playing baseball, I’m being a normal teenager, I’m still hanging out with friends, suffering through school work, everything.”

Volleyball coach waiting out shutdown Larry Deffenbaugh leads girls squad at Arapahoe

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Larry Deffenbaugh is going into his 43rd year of coaching, including 33 as a volleyball coach.

He is third on the all-time wins list for Colorado high school girls volleyball coaches, with 540 victories.

Deffenbaugh, who has been the head volleyball coach at Strasburg, Bennett, Rangeview and Castle View, is now the coach at Arapahoe High School in Centennial for girls volleyball, and is going through a first with all the restrictions in place because of the COVOID-19 pandemic.

He keeps in contact with his Arapahoe team through an app and plans to send out information to parents in the near future.

“What’s the old saying — safety first,” said Deffenbaugh. “It is what it is and it’s a very surreal time right now. I know some parents are chomping at the bit and some maybe not so much. Some may want to get their kids going again, some are a little leery and some are `no way.’

“It’s just like the virus itself. It has manifested itself in different ways.

And we know people think in different ways as well. Certainly all of us have gotten down a little bit during

this time. It is a different beast, so to speak. We’re frustrated but we can get outside a little bit at least.”

Deffenbaugh says communication with his players is important.

“I send out a memo pretty much on time every week,” he explained. “I send out some positive quotes, some information on what is going on, where we are at as far as sports are concerned. On MaxPreps there is a lady and she has a bunch of workouts. So I send them a couple workouts and say they can alter them or do them every day.

“And then we are trying to create some simple competitions, Send me your times on this and see how you are doing. There is a lot to deal with here and they just got done with school. There’s a lot of their plate right now. We are encouraging them that this is the time to get going again because we don’t know what

we don’t know. Let’s try to get in shape physically and mentally and communicate with each other.”

Deffenbaugh doesn’t know for sure if there will be a fall volleyball season.

“Here’s what I do know,” he continued. “I have seen some plans to reopen sports from the Colorado health department or CDC and I’ve heard Governor Polis say youth sports can open up again. I’ve seen all the guidelines and there are phases. There’s a phase one, phase two, phase three and phase four. I hope we can do something down the road if the kids want to, but most importantly, parents and athletes need to understand that if we are going to do this, it has to be done safely and the guidelines need to be followed strictly. The parents, athletes and coaches have to be patient.

“I don’t know what Littleton Public Schools is doing right now.

I think they are putting together a task force to look at this. But I don’t know where we are. We don’t have any dates in mind yet. I’m waiting to hear from Littleton Public Schools and my athletic director Pat McCabe for guidance and direction to move forward optimistically one step at a time. Right now things are pretty much up in the air. We all need to take a deep breath and be patient.

The CHSAA is trying to put together plans for fall sports. That looks different for all sports. There are a lot of parts to this engine.”

Deffenbaugh is optimistic about playing in the fall.

“It is OK to be optimistic, seeing the stuff I am seeing from CHSAA,” he said. “However I have to think about not only our players’ safety, where they have been and their parents, but also our coaches’ safety.

I imagine everybody will be wearing masks, that’s in the guidelines, I can’t control what somebody else is doing, but in this environment, we have to be able to control it. We have to follow the guidelines “We are in one of the toughest leagues in the state. We have a good group of girls coming up. We have two seniors this year, so we will be young. Amelia Davis and Myki McNutt will be good captains and leaders. We’ll get better as the season goes on. We will appreciate the things we take for granted when this is over.”

Music school gives away lessons, instruments

STAFF REPORT

In March, “normal” for students at Englewood’s Musical Life Denver included weekly band rehearsals, private lessons and jam sessions to prepare for mid-April performances.

With stay-at-home orders came in-person lesson cancellations and concert postponements.

The staff at Musical Life Denver developed plans to keep students staying musical and motivated while staying at home through remote learning. The music school then began to come up with ways to give back to those on the front lines of the pandemic.

With that in mind, Musical Life began its Healthcare Appreciation Giveaway in mid-May, offering free lessons and instruments every week

PHARMACY FROM PAGE 3

Despite opening in the middle of a pandemic and an economic crisis, Front Range Pharmacy said it recently crossed 100 patients. But a lot of those patients filled up on their medication just before the pandemic started to shut businesses in midMarch.

“It has been interesting opening during this. We had planned to do a lot of marketing and have a grand opening,” said Scruggs. “We would be lying if we

through June. Those associated with Musical Life Denver may nominate health care professionals, and a winner’s name will be drawn at random each Sunday.

“We just really wanted to find a way to show our appreciation to those who have been working nonstop to keep our community safe and healthy at large,” Musical Life Denver owner and founder Robby Schechter said in a news release.

To nominate someone, follow Musical Life Denver on Facebook or Instagram. To donate an instrument for this cause, email office@ musicallifedenver.com with as much information as you have about the instrument and a few photos.

Musical Life Denver offers virtual private lessons in bass, guitar, keyboard, voice and drums, and also has bands and jam sessions. The office at 2842 S. Broadway, Englewood, began reopening June 1 with limited capacity and strict social distancing measures and safety protocols in place.

said we weren’t disappointed — but we said we would still open.”

Emily Zadvorny, executive director of the Colorado Pharmacists Society, which provides support and services to hundreds of pharmacists, technicians and associated pharmacy professionals, said she believes independent pharmacies can respond to needs and offer services that help a local community to a greater extent than chains can.

“All pharmacists try to help their communities — but (independent pharmacies) can have flexibility in what services they want to offer to their communities,” said Zadvorny.
