‘Nothing will bring Carl back, but we need closure’ Weeks after fatal hit-and-run, victim’s loved ones plead for justice BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lisa Paris doesn’t wake up to breakfast and flowers anymore. Paris spent the last decade loving Carl Howard, and he loved her back. Howard, 54, was struck and killed while riding his bicycle on the evening of June 23. He was hit by a driver in a dark pickup truck just blocks from Paris’ home in Englewood. Howard’s killer remains at large. Every day, Paris walks the three blocks from her home to the corner of South Bannock Street and West Radcliff Avenue, where Howard was struck. She and others have built a small memorial against a fire hydrant adorned with flowers, plaques and pinwheels. A flier seeking help finding Howard’s killer hangs from a stop sign. Paris said she visits the memorial to light candles, pick up the dead flowers, and commune with the spirit of the man whose kind eyes gave her butterflies from the moment they met. SEE CLOSURE, P14

In only five weeks, Englewood Schools will allow students to return to in-person learning. But, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the state, parents can also choose a remote-learning option. The Englewood School Board approved plans for returning to school at a July 14 board meeting. The plans have been in the works for over a month as the school district assembled a task force of teachers, district administrators and principals to create the framework for the upcoming school year. Parents will have to decide whether they prefer in-person or remote learning for their children by Aug. 3 in anticipation of the first day of school on Aug. 27. “It’s going to be a very personal choice for our families,” said Englewood Schools Superintendent Wendy Rubin at a July 16 virtual town hall where the school district discussed its return-to-school plans with district staff. Englewood’s return to in-person learning plan for students is a 36-page document that details safety precautions the district will enforce and acknowledges that it expects in-person learning to have to maneuver to remote at times.

Polis issues statewide mask order, hoping for ‘wake-up call’ ‘The virus doesn’t care what political party you’re in’
“It’s simple, it’s common sense and it’s data. The virus doesn’t care what political party you’re in, the virus doesn’t care what belief system you have, the virus doesn’t care what your ideology is. The virus is the virus, and it is a threat to every single one of us.” Mike Coffman, the Republican mayor of Aurora, one of Colorado’s largest cities, spoke alongside the governor in support of the mandate, saying he believes it is “the best and least invasive public health option that is available to us.” “I know there’s going to be some grumbling about this. I get it. It’s a mandate from government,” said Coffman, a former congressman. But he added: “If people think wearing a mask is a hardship, they need to think about the others in our society that have been suffering and will suffer more if we have to reenact” restrictions on Coloradans’ lives that applied earlier in the pandemic. The statewide mask rule will expire 30 days from July 16 unless extended by another executive order.
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Faced with a potential exponential growth curve of COVID-19 cases that threatens to overrun Colorado’s intensive care capacity by early September, Gov. Jared Polis has issued a statewide mask-wearing order after repeated hesitation to take that step. “We’re really on the knife’s edge,” Polis said at a July 16 news conference, referencing the dire spikes in the coronavirus’ spread outside of Colorado. “Many nearby states have shown us what will happen. It’s not what may happen — it’s what will happen if we don’t regain our footing and take social distancing and masks seriously.” He added: “I’m hoping that (for) the people of Colorado ... this is a wake-up call for those who might have become a little bit lax. We need to take this very seriously. Our lives depend on it, and our economy depends on it.” Polis, who has cited research that shows masks are more effective than previously thought in stemming the spread of COVID-19, compared the state’s order on wearing masks in public to generally accepted traffic laws. “If you drive a car, you wear a seatbelt, you obey the speed limit, you drive sober,” Polis said. “It doesn’t matter whether you agree politically with speed limits or with drunk driv-

using or waiting on a taxi, bus, light rail, train, car service, or ride-sharing or similar service, according to the order’s text. Unlike a recent order issued by the Tri-County Health Department, the local public health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, the statewide order will not allow local governments to opt out of the requirement — other than when counties qualify for the state’s “protect our neighbors” phase of social distancing policy, which requires the virus’ spread to be under control in ways that are unlikely to be seen in the Denver metro area in the near future. Before Polis’ action, Douglas County has said it planned to opt out of the Tri-County order. On July 14, Jefferson County Public Health also issued an emergency mask-wearing order. Polis addressed the political nature of mask-wearing, a dividing line in American society that has showed in debates over mask orders in areas including the south Denver metro region in July. “Wearing a mask is not a political statement. I don’t know how in anybody’s mind it’s become a game of political football,” Polis said.

Governor reverses course Polis’ reversal on a mask rule comes on the heels of data that show hospitalizations due to COVID-19 could increase on a steep curve similar to the trend seen earlier in the pandemic. Colorado’s trajectory for hospitalizations during the stay-at-home order and shortly after it would have put the state on a decreasing trend, and more recently, hospitalizations were on track to stay almost flat, said Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist, who spoke at the news conference. But in light of the state’s behavior most recently, a steep upward curve is projected that could exceed Colorado’s capacity of intensive-care beds in September, with a peak in ICU need occurring sometime in October, Herlihy said. Two days earlier, Polis continued to strongly recommend masks but stopped short of issuing an order. He was concerned with whether a rule would increase mask-wearing. “It turns out that having this kind of (law) in place does increase mask wearing fairly substantially,” Polis said. He cited a survey by by an “outside group” that showed 67% of people wore masks in counties with no mask requirement, and in places with a rule, mask wearing stood at about 83%. A survey by the
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ announcement of a statewide mask requirement was met with swift criticism from Republican leaders -including the top GOP member of the state House of Representatives House Minority Leader Patrick Neville announced his intent to legally challenge the order within hours of Polis’ July 16 announcement.
“The governor is on a power trip and (in my opinion) his mask mandate is a clear violation of our civil liberties. I’ve retained counsel with the intent to sue,” the Castle Rock Republican posted on Twitter. Neville was not available for comment. The mask requirement went into effect July 17 for Coloradans older than 10. The order applies to public places like businesses or public transportation. Some people are excluded from the order, including those who have a medical condition making masks intolerable.

The number of people experiencing homelessness in the Denver metro area continues to rise. At least 6,104 people were experiencing homelessness between dusk on Jan. 27 to dusk on Jan. 28 in the seven counties surveyed in the 2020 Point-inTime census, a one-day count across the nation of people experiencing homelessness. The data reflects a 6% increase since 2019 and a nearly 15% rise from two years ago. “These data demonstrate homelessness was a crisis before COVID,” said Matt Meyer, executive director at the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, which coordinates the PIT each year and reports the data to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. “With eviction moratoriums and other protective measures ending, we fully expect to see dramatic increases as a result of the economic impact of the pandemic,” he said. “Reinstating these moratoriums on a local or state level would significantly decrease the impact for those households on the edge that now face homelessness.” Denver represents the largest share of homelessness compared to neighboring counties surveyed in the region — Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas and Jefferson — with a count of at least 4,171. The survey identified: 444 unhoused persons in Jefferson County, up from 434 in 2019. 476 unhoused persons in Adams County, down from 483 in 2019. 245 unhoused persons in Arapahoe County, up from 228 in 2019. 53 unhoused persons in Douglas County, up from 14 in 2019. Of the more than 6,000 people living unhoused in the entire metro area, 51% were living in shelters within the region. A quarter of those surveyed

said they were staying outdoors. Of the populations identified, 759 people were actively fleeing domestic violence, 627 were veterans, 278 were unaccompanied youth and there were at least 420 families. The survey also examined race and found that minority populations are disproportionately affected by homelessness. African Americans made up more than 20% of people experiencing homelessness, but they represent less than 10% of the general population. Indigenous populations make up about 2% of the general population but comprise about 5% of those unhoused. “The overrepresentation of people of color, specifically (B)lack and Native Americans, among those experiencing homelessness is critical to the response,” Meyer said in a statement. “Homelessness is an issue of race and must be approached through this lens.” Hundreds of volunteers and partner agencies work together to complete the count every year.

Controversial new state holiday shines spotlight on Mother Cabrini Colorado state legislature voted to replace Columbus Day with holiday for Cabrini last March BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Since 1938, visitors have flocked to the mountains just west of Golden to learn about and pay tribute to Frances Xavier Cabrini, the Catholic saint who established 67 schools, hospitals and orphanages around the U.S., including in Colorado. Now, the rest of the state is about to become more familiar with Cabrini as well, as a result of the Colorado state legislature’s decision to establish Cabrini Day, a state holiday that will take the place of Columbus Day as a state holiday on the first Monday in October. Colorado House Bill 20-1031, signed into law by the governor in March, declares the new holiday is “a recognition of Cabrini’s contributions to the state of Colorado and creates an opportunity to promote an appreciation, tolerance and understanding of the different cultures that make up our state.” In 1909, Colorado became the first state in the nation to observe Columbus Day as an official state holiday at the urging of Angelo Noce, a prominent figure in Denver’s Italian immigrant community. The bill also states that Columbus never traveled to the territory that

While many Italian Americans continue to regard it as an important celebration of their heritage and its contributions to America (Columbus was Italian), the holiday had become mired in controversy in recent de-

PHOTOS BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO cades by Native Americans who say it is culturally insensitive to continue to celebrate a figure who led the extermination of native peoples and can only be said to have discovered the Americas if their presence here is disregarded. The Denver Post reported the move to replace Columbus Day represented an attempt to reach a compromise with Colorado’s Italian American community after previous bills that would’ve replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day or made Election Day into a state holiday were defeated. However, some members of Denver Italian heritage groups say their community did not respect the change and that the legislature did not reach out to them as they have claimed. “Mother Cabrini has a feast day and it’s not in October,” said Pam Wright, a former president of the Order Sons of Italy Grand Lodge of Colorado. “A lot of us feel that we have celebrated Columbus Day for years and years and it’s not so much the man we celebrate but his journey and that journey is what brought a lot of our ancestors here along with Christianity and that kind of thing so that disappointed us.” Anna Vann, a first generation Italian immigrant, also questioned the choice to replace the celebration of Columbus with one for Cabrini. “Mother Cabrini was an actual friend of people in my family in the past here,” said Vann. “She was a very honorable woman but to make a state holiday for her and take away Columbus Day was very wrong.” Jeff Lewis, the Executive Director of the Mother Cabrini Shrine, said that while the Shrine’s staff are happy Mother Cabrini “will continue to be celebrated in Colorado” they did not have anything to do with the effort to make a Cabrini Day holiday. “I don’t really know what to say,”
Lewis said when contacted by CCM about his reaction to the new holiday. “That’s more of a political thing and we really have nothing to do with that.” Who was Mother Cabrini? So who exactly was the subject of Colorado’s newest holiday? Sr. Roselle Santivasi, who works at the shrine, said Cabrini was ultimately a humanitarian who dedicated herself to those who had very little help. “She just had a sensitivity for the needs of people and had a talent for making their needs met whether it was housing or education,” said Santivasi. “Just simple things like her and the sisters reading their mail because they were illiterate or writing letters back to their home countries or just being with people.” Cabrini is also someone who has much to teach America today, Santivasi said. “She would certainly see that every person is entitled to all the privileges of whatever country they live in and so she would work toward that for whomever,” she said. “She would not limit herself to immigrants, she would definitely open herself to the needs of anyone who had needs that were not being met by the government of whatever country they came from.” Santivasi said an estimated 100,000 people visit the shrine each year and the staff now thinks it might see more with the new holiday. “We weren’t part of the development of the holiday but if they want to celebrate Mother Cabrini because she’s a woman that’s wonderful,” she said. “And if it’s someone else for the same reason that’s wonderful too. The more we celebrate people who have done humanitarian things and done good, social justice things for other people that’s good, let’s celebrate them.”

crosswalk painting that features forks and spoons near restaurant row — is now complete. The crosswalk painting, located near 3501 S. Broadway, was unveiled to the public on July 8. The project was funded by the Englewood Cultural Arts Commission after Englewood City Council approved an ordinance last October that allows for creative crosswalks in the South Broadway area. Other art projects in the area that will be completed in the coming weeks include another crosswalk painting near 3398 S. Broadway and seven traffic electrical boxes wrapped in vinyl with art from local artists. “All of this ties together. What has happened with the to-go alcohol and having that within that district and having the new art there — all of those things have created a buzz to make that a more interesting area,” said Carroll, who also serves as chair for the Englewood Cultural Arts Commission. “It’s become a destination for people that want to shop and dine.” The Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood is working in partnership with the city to carry out an upcoming crosswalk painting and artistic traffic electrical boxes. The upcoming crosswalk painting design will be created by artist AJ Davis and will feature a moon surrounded by different colors. The forks-and-spoons crosswalk was a separate project from the upcoming work the Museum of Outdoor Arts is planning. Before the pandemic, Davis was scheduled to lead the museum’s

program who will be responsible for creating the art on the traffic electrical boxes. “The museum has done some amazing things downtown and locally. I feel like a lot of things are coming together in Englewood for a little art district,” said Davis.
The traffic electrical boxes will be Englewood-themed and designed by local artists like Cris Woessner, an Englewood native and a 2019 Englewood High School graduate. She has worked on projects with the museum in the past, including a mural outside Zomo Asian + American Eatery. Woessner created a colorful carnation floral design for her traffic electrical box art piece. Englewood is known as the “Carnation City” as the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce passed a resolution in 1954 to give the city the name, according to the Englewood Historic Preservation Society. Englewood’s carnation industry played an important role in the city’s economy as there were 13 greenhouse operations in Englewood. “I wanted to highlight the history and make the carnation the main aspect of the piece. I hand-drew every single carnation on there and wanted each flower to be distinct when it comes to the ones surrounding it so there aren’t carnations that are the same color right next to each other,” said Woessner. Part of Englewood’s downtown draft plan, which includes the 3400 block of South Broadway, calls for the city to support its art community by establishing art-focused events and locations for public artworks. “We’re looking at (the art projects) as a community placemaking effort. It can help generate economies in certain areas, and it makes people feel more welcome or comfortable,” said Tim Vacca, director of programs for the Museum of Outdoor Arts. “I think working with the city and (Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce), everyone wants to see downtown Broadway come to life. I think you can already see a lot of progress.”

Colorado, other states trim health programs amid COVID-19 BY MARKIAN HAWRYLUK KAISER HEALTH NEWS
As a teenager, Paulina Castle struggled for years with suicidal thoughts. When her mental health was at its most fragile, she would isolate herself, spending days in her room alone. “That’s the exact thing that makes you feel significantly worse,” the 26-year-old Denver woman said. “It creates a cycle where you’re constantly getting dug into a deeper hole.” Part of her recovery involved forcing herself to leave her room to socialize or to exercise outside. But the COVID-19 pandemic has made all of that much harder. Instead of interacting with people on the street in her job as a political canvasser, she is working at home on the phone. And with social distancing rules in place, she has fewer opportunities to meet with friends. “Since the virus started,” she said, “it’s been a lot easier to fall back into that cycle.” Between the challenges of the pandemic, the social unrest and the economic crisis, mental health providers are warning that the need for behavioral health services is growing. Yet faced with budgetary shortfalls, Colorado is cutting spending on a number of mental health and substance use treatment programs. Across the country, the recession has cut state revenues at the same time the pandemic has increased
costs, forcing lawmakers into painful decisions about how to balance their budgets. State legislatures have been forced to consider health care cuts and delay new health programs even in the midst of a health care crisis. But many lawmakers and health experts are concerned the cuts needed to balance state budgets now could exacerbate the pandemic and the recession down the line. “Health care cuts tend to be on the table, and of course, it’s counterproductive,” said Edwin Park, a health policy professor at Georgetown University. When there’s a recession, people lose their jobs and health insurance, he noted, the very moment when people need those health programs the most. ‘Everything has to be on the table’ In Colorado, for example, lawmakers had to fill a $3.3 billion hole in the budget for fiscal year 2020, which started July 1. That included cuts to a handful of mental health programs, with small overall savings but potentially significant impact on those who relied on them. They cut $1 million from a program designed to keep people with mental illness out of the hospital and another million from mental health services for juvenile and adult offenders.

$735,000 and eliminated $5 million earmarked for addiction treatment programs in underserved communities. And that’s all on top of a 1% cut to Medicaid community providers who offer health care to the state’s poorest residents. Some of those cuts were offset by $15.2 million in federal CARES Act funding allocated to behavioral health care programs. But some programs were completely defunded. Cuts were targeted primarily at programs that hadn’t started yet or hadn’t been fully implemented. The rationale: Those cuts wouldn’t have as deep an impact. Doyle Forrestal, CEO of the Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council, which represents 23 behavioral health care providers, worries that resources won’t be there for an emerging wave of people who have developed mental health or addiction issues during the pandemic. “People who are isolated at home are drinking a lot more, maybe having other problems — isolation, economic despair,” she said. “There’s going to be a whole new influx once all of this takes hold.” State legislators said they tried to avoid cutting programs that would hamper the response to the pandemic or the economic recovery. “There was a desire on both sides to do everything we could to protect health care spending in Colorado,” said state Rep. Dylan Roberts, DAvon. “But when you’re looking at across-the-board cuts, everything has to be on the table.”
Every state is facing a similar conundrum. With tax filing deadlines pushed back to July 15, states are unsure how much income tax revenue they will collect. So in addition to cutting back where possible, states are raiding discretionary funds — Colorado repurposed money from the tobacco settlement and marijuana taxes — to shore up their budgets. States are also tapping rainy day funds, which, according to the National Association of State Budget Officers, grew to record levels after the 2008 recession.
The legislature killed a proposal to create an annual mental health checkup. The measure would have cost the state only $13,000, but Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signaled he wouldn’t sign any bills that included new mandates for insurance companies. State Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, D-Commerce City, who sponsored the checkup measure, was disappointed. “Not every one of us is going to catch COVID, but every single one of us will have a mental health impact,” she said.
New policies delayed Overall, at least 43 states have made some changes to facilitate access to Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program as many people have lost their job-based health insurance in the COVID crisis. And in late June, voters in Oklahoma approved expanding Medicaid to more residents. But since the start of the pandemic, states including Kansas and California have put off plans to expand eligibility for Medicaid, which provides health care to low-income people. “These are symptoms of states that can’t deficit-spend, despite this great need for more coverage,” said Sara Collins, vice president for health care coverage and access at the Commonwealth Fund, an independent health policy research foundation based in New York. “If they spend more in one area, that means cuts in another.” Colorado has had an aggressive health agenda in recent years but had to defer plans for a public health insurance option that could have provided a more affordable plan for people buying insurance on their own.
Long-term implications Once the economic crisis eases, Roberts said, lawmakers will look to restore funding to some of the programs they cut. But cuts are often easier to make than to restore — as illustrated by cutbacks made during the 2008 recession, according to Georgetown’s Park. “Many cuts were never fully restored, even though we were in one of the longer economic expansion periods in our country’s history,” Park said. He also worries many of the smaller primary care and behavioral health providers, who saw fewer patients come through their doors because of stay-at-home orders during the pandemic, might not survive. “That means less access to care, including routine care like vaccinations,” he said. “If kids aren’t vaccinated, they may be more vulnerable to flu and measles, making them more vulnerable to COVID-19. That makes it more difficult for a stressed health care system to try to deal with a potential second wave of infections.”
The longer-term mental health toll may be harder to catalog. Castle, for one, has focused on establishing routines to help her manage her mental health during the pandemic. Every Wednesday night, she plays games online with her friends. And every Friday night, she and her boyfriend build a fire in the backyard. “If I know people are expecting me to be somewhere at 6 o’clock, that obligation encourages me to go out,” she explained. “There are days it’s a struggle. I have to focus on baby steps.” Still, Castle worries about others who may be struggling during the pandemic. She has signed on to work with the Colorado chapter of Young Invincibles, which lobbies for health care, higher education and workforce policies to help young adults. Even as states and the federal government have found the money to help hospitals and doctors treat the physical effects of the COVID pandemic, she doesn’t see the same commitment to treating its mental health toll. “We need to start treating mental health the same as we do physical health,” she said. This is an issue we need to stop keeping in the dark.” If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, or use the online Lifeline Chat, both available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

VOICES The good, the bad, and the jumbly
A
ccording to a top-secret study that up until recently had been suppressed, for one week in January there were an identical number of bad people 18 and older living in America as good people. QUIET How the statistic was determined DESPERATION would take forever to explain. What qualified as bad? What qualified as good? Some general assumptions could be made about violent gang members (bad) and first responders Craig Marshall (good). Not all priests and Smith politicians are bad, so someone really had to do their homework. Is shoplifting bad? Yes. But was a single incident sufficient to be grouped with the bad population? The parts of the study that were not redacted provided a few clues, but left me with a lot of unan-
swered questions. I have done some bad things in my life; at least by my definition. But maybe they weren’t bad enough. I’d like to think I am a good person, but some of my former students may not think so. At the time when the bad and good were evenly divided, there were 162,359,017 bad people and 162,359,017 good people that had been tracked. Hoping to break the tie before publication, the investigators located a young man who was about to turn 18 to a small town in Missouri and tempted him. That’s right. He was followed around on his birthday and into the only bookstore in town where by pre-arrangement he was given too much change for the purchase of the book he purchased, which happened to be “Crime and Punishment,” by the way. Would he keep the excessive amount or return it to the salesperson? Lana Del Rey sings, “I heard you
like the bad girls, honey, is that true?” The Shangri-Las sing, “He’s bad, but he’s not evil.” Jimmy Dean sings, “Big John, big bad John.” Dialogue in a 2003 film: “He’s wrong.” “Yeah, wrong can be fun.” Am I wrong? I might have been at one time. Now, like just about everyone who ages except Keith Richards, I have slowed. I drove the width of Kansas with my left turn signal on. Never was a rebel without a cause. Never had a pack of cigarettes in my T-shirt sleeve. Never walked around with toothpick dangling from my sensuous lips. All of these behaviors are signs of being bad. Then, of all things, in the early 1970s the word “bad” came to mean “good.” “He’s bad” meant “wonderful, deeply satisfying.” The bad-good committee members must have had their hands full distinguishing between bad when it’s
bad and bad when it’s good. Anyone who puts a hat on a dog is bad, as far as I’m concerned. Anyone who follows my car too closely is bad, as far as I’m concerned. Anyone who says “Me and her” is bad as far as I am concerned. But did transgressions like that impress the committee? Back to Missouri. The young man walked to the counter with his book and paid with a twenty. He was given change for a fifty but didn’t realize it until he was out the door and up the block. He stopped, reached in his pocket, and looked at the change he’d been given. Meanwhile, across the street he was being watched. The teeter-totter of good and bad in America was waiting on what he did next. And for once, there was some good news. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

out looking for a little motivational pick-me-up, here are the three questions I ask them: What were you most passionate about pre-pandemic? What are you passionate about now? Does your passion provide you with a sense of purpose, or does your purpose fuel your passion? You are probably seeing and hearing about some of the hobbies, activities and learnings that people have become passionate about during this time. Everything from cooking, knitting, biking and working out to learning a foreign language, a new skill, or maybe learning to play an instrument. And looking at some of the posts and seeing for myself how people have mastered things in such a short amount of time, tells me that they went after it with purpose and passion. In a recent discussion with a friend of mine who found himself losing his motivation, I asked the three questions and enthusiastically shared how impressed I am with what people are doing these days and how driven they are to succeed. At first, he wasn’t buying in. He even said something to the effect of, “Good for

John served our country as a Marine, achieved great success in prosecuting criminals in our region (including being named “Prosecutor of the Year” in 2016 by the Colorado District Attorneys Council), and is ready to protect and represent us as our next district attorney. John’s strong experience in criminal prosecution will keep our communities safer. Using this experience, he will implement proactive policies to deter criminals and reduce gun violence, as well as support law enforcement agencies in keeping us safe. School safety is also a core focus for John. He will ensure schools have the resources they need to promote safety and prevent violence. He believes in early intervention and collaboration with our community to achieve that.
We live in a great community, but to preserve it we must proactively reverse these dangerous crime trends. John Kellner is the right experienced, courageous servant leader to help us accomplish this! Will Johnson Highlands Ranch Lock up coronavirus rule-breakers Gathering in crowds, without face coverings or distancing, is just plain criminal! Such actions risk not only the health and lives of those who do so. Many others are also endangered: medical workers, first responders, seniors — their parents and grandparents. They extend the restrictions on fellow citizens, particularly those of us in senior living communities. The bottom line is these persons should be incarcerated in large groups away from us and without access to health-care workers, thus unable to risk anyone else’s health or life.

reminded him that he called me, and my assumption was that he wanted my help. After a few more words of hope and encouragement I got him to play along and answer my questions. By the time we finished up he identified that what his passions were pre-pandemic are still his passions today. And after further discussion he also concluded that his purpose absolutely fueled his passion. You see, it would have been useless if I simply gave him some quick motivational thoughts and spoke about the need for a positive attitude. He might have felt better temporarily, but it would have worn off. So why am I sharing this story with you? Because maybe during this pandemic you have lost your motivation and inspiration too. And maybe like my friend, you aren’t bought in yet. And if this is you, I encourage you to answer these same three questions: What were you most passionate about pre-pandemic? What are you passionate about now? Does your passion provide you with a sense of purpose, or does your purpose fuel your

passion? And don’t just think about them, write out your answers and talk through them with someone else. It will make all the difference for you. And if you need a friendly ear to listen, send me an email. The last part of this is all about performance. When we can identify what drives us and fires us up, we can attach goals or performance metrics to our activities. No matter what it is we are trying to accomplish, we should know when we want to achieve it and what success milestones look like along the way. Without defining what success will look like, we will accept any level of accomplishment or possibly even stop at any time. How about you? Has your “get-up-andgo” gotten up and went? Is it time for an adjustment in the way you are thinking about what really motivates you? I would love to hear your purpose, passion, and performance story at mnorton@tramazing.com. And when we can identify what drives us and fires us up, it really will be a better than good week.

Courtenay Brumby White 1922-2020
Courtenay Brumby White died at age 98 on July 3, 2020 and was born January 10, 1922 in Houston, TX to Dr. William McDuffie Brumby and Lila Ralston Brumby. She was preceded in death by her husband, James Edward White (Ed). Dr. White was a co-founder of the Marathon Oil Research Center and later Professor of Geophysics at Colorado School of Mines in Golden. They had a strong, loving partnership for 62 years. Courtenay and Ed raised four children in Littleton: Becky Vanderslice,
Duffie White, Marie Jamieson and Coco Forte, all of whom graduated from Littleton High School with honors in the 1960’s. Courtenay was named, by the Littleton Independent, Foremost Mother of the Year in 1963. She was very interested in and involved with her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren and proud of their many accomplishments. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/ obituaries/wheat-ridge-co/courtenaywhite-9248163
Mary K. Clark January 14, 1950 - July 11, 2020
I, Mary (“Mamie” to the grandchildren) Jane Kuhlemeyer Clark went to be with God above and my friends and family who have gone before on Saturday, July 11, 2020. My death was due to cancer. I was born in Freeport, IL on January 14, 1950, and lived in Pearl City, IL. I married Clifford Charles Clark in 1972 in Pearl City, and moved to New Orleans. Our daughters were born there, and New Orleans held a special place in my heart. The rest of my life I spent in Centennial, CO and loved every minute. Especially the blizzards and the blue sky, sometimes simultaneously. My beloved husband is Clifford C. Clark. Without him, I would only be half of who I wanted to be. He spoiled me! While I was sick, I was his priority over all else. Our precious daughters of whom we are immensely pleased and who brought us great pleasure, along with their husbands and children, are Jessica Roe (husband is Gates), Ann Marie Clark, and Erin Zahradka (husband is Paul). Match last names to those of the parents, and here are the grandchildren with whom I shared a maturity level: Clark and Scarlett Roe, Madilynne, Asher, and Gavin Foonberg, and Stella and Duncan Zahradka. I have an older sister, Molly (Ron) Clemons, who was a gift. I have eight wonderful cousins I valued with all my heart and friends I truly love. My parents were the best parents in the world, and they were Virginia (Mitchell) and Eugene B. Kuhlemeyer of Pearl City, IL. I hope I emulated them in traditions and love. For me they sacrificed vacations and comforts, and because of their sacrifices and support, I was able to graduate with two degrees. Aunts, uncles, and grandparents made every day meaningful to me. Their doors were always open to us or else we knew where their key was hidden. Their love was always apparent. I had the pleasure of teaching for many years. It was truly a gift to teach. My love for others - and because I did my best to stay in touch with those I love - I ask for a no-funeral farewell. No need to gather as we have gathered often in our own way. There will be a private graveside burial ceremony for family and local friends in Pearl City, IL. In lieu of a funeral, please pick a day of your choosing every year to remember me and spend the day with those you love.
Please consider: Sitting on a porch swing with the one you love. Ride a horse and smile the entire time. Play bridge. Euchre is good, too. Help a student with homework. Do not eat peas, drink milk, or eat gravy on that day, as I never ate those things. Buy tickets for you and one you love for the vacation of your dreams. Smile. Make a card for someone and say a prayer for the person to whom it goes before sealing the envelope. Organize something to look forward to doing with friends. Read. Make someone laugh. Tell your children and grandchildren that you love them. Don’t clean today. Or tomorrow, for that matter. Plant a tree. Give someone garden flowers. Get a hairstyle that requires NO time to do each day. Thank a veteran and put a wreath on the grave of a veteran, please. Do it for Christmas if not now. Or both. Vote. Above all, say a prayer to thank God for your life and your loved ones, and for His blessings. If you would like to give in my name, consider a contribution to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Pearl City, IL, where I’ve been a member since birth, at 229 S 1st St, Pearl City, IL 61062. St. John’s is the church that taught me Christ’s love and how to accept all religions. Another contribution choice is the Pearl City School Foundation, CLASS OF 1968 High School Scholarship Fund (#8154432725), C/O State Bank of Pearl City, 215 S. Main Street, Pearl City, IL 61062. Pearl City is family. I love my family, so contributions should only go to one of these. Hug my husband and daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren for me since they were my life and I hugged them. Feel free to call them at inconvenient times and forget why you called, since they will certainly miss that from me now!!! Thank God for the most wonderful life I had! Thank-you. With Love, ~Mary

Get off the beaten path to discover unique parks
Sensory Park in Westminster at 7577 W. 103rd Ave. offers a playground that is Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant and therapy-focused, according to the city. COURTESY OF CITY OF WESTMINSTER
Metro area boasts eclectic places to have fun, explore BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

n a summer where large gatherings of family, neighbors and friends are still barred, and with many wanting to avoid crowds out of caution, metro Denver residents have reconnected with taking an old-fashioned walk outdoors. It’s a ripe time to check out the parks in your area that you may have overlooked — or even to find a new park a few miles away. There’s more to parks in the Denver area than Cherry Creek State Park, Standley Lake Regional Park, Washington Park and the other big names, and there’s lots to find beyond the old standby down your street. Here’s a look at some unique and standout parks in the north, south and west metro suburbs. Arvada Britton Park in east Arvada offers a farm-themed playground with a bluegrass and native grass design. It’s a great place to see bees and butterflies, and kids there can pretend to drive a large tractor, says Ben Irwin, a spokesman for the city. The park sits near North Sheridan Boulevard at 5574 W. 69th Ave. In north Arvada, Volunteer Firefighters Park is a firefighter-themed park commemorating the contributions of the city’s volunteer firefighters, including a monument to them. It’s located near North Wadsworth Boulevard at 9190 W. 84th Ave. Westminster Westminster Center Park is also known to locals as the “Peter Pan Park.” The park takes inspiration from landmarks of London, referencing Big Ben in the play structure and the River Thames in the water play
Lakewood’s Carmody Park at 2200 S. Kipling St. features a universal playground for kids of all abilities and an accessible fitness zone. COURTESY OF CITY OF LAKEWOOD features, along with Peter Pan’s Neverland in the pirate cove, according to the city’s website. The water play area may be closed to encourage social distancing. The park is found in central Westminster near North Sheridan Boulevard at 4801 W. 92nd Ave. Sensory Park offers a playground that is Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant and therapy-focused yet fun for all kids, says Angela Simental, a Westminster parks spokeswoman. It’s easy to access through the local trail system. Sensory Park is the city’s first completely accessible play area built in cooperation with Children’s Hospital Colorado, Simental says. It sits in the west part of the city near North Wadsworth Boulevard at 7577 W. 103rd Ave.
playground,” says Stacie Oulton, a spokeswoman for the city. The park’s “storybook design theme” features mosaic artwork by local artist Annette Coleman and quotes selected by children at the nearby elementary school, Oulton says. That park sits at 6677 W. Florida Ave. near South Wadsworth Boulevard. One of Lakewood’s lesser-known parks is Sutherland Shire Park, named after Lakewood’s Australian Sister City, Oulton says. The playground features a climbing wall, slides and Australian-themed designs. A path leads to Main Reservoir, where shoreline fishing is popular, Oulton says. The park is located in central Lakewood near South Kipling Street at 10600 W. Kentucky Drive.
Lakewood Lasley Park in east Lakewood features a games court with ping pong, cornhole and chess, outdoor fitness equipment, sand volleyball, basketball, tennis courts and a “modern
Littleton Creekside Experience Park, a nearly 6-acre open space park, features a tree house-style overlook, boulder scramble, sand play area, and a log, stump and boulder trail. It’s located
on the north edge of Littleton near Englewood, not far from West Belleview Avenue, at 4829 S. Santa Fe Drive. War Memorial Rose Garden in Littleton was created in 1946 when Littleton citizens donated money to acquire land for a park that would honor veterans of World War I and World War II, according to Becky Grubb, a spokeswoman for South Suburban Parks and Recreation. More than 1,300 roses bloom at this park, which also features a gazebo and Orian Sterne Fountain, Grubb says. It sits near West Littleton Boulevard at 5804 S. Bemis St. Writer’s Vista Park sits along on the High Line Canal and offers “amazing mountain views,” Grubb says. Along with a recently renovated playground and restrooms, the park includes playgrounds for kids of all ages and a large, shaded picnic pavilion. In south Littleton not far from South Santa Fe Drive, the park is located at 1900 W. Mineral Ave. Castle Rock Philip S. Miller Park offers a particularly wide range of activities, including at the Miller Activity Complex. In all, the park boasts a pool, indoor playground, trampolines, indoor turf fields, splash pad, functional fitness area and golf simulator. Outdoors, the park has an athletic field, “adventure playground,” outdoor fitness area, amphitheater, events building, a pond, 7 miles of unpaved trails, a 1-mile paved trail loop, zip lines and an “epic adventure tower,” says Jeff Smullen, Castle Rock’s assistant director of parks and recreation. The park sits in the central part of town, not far from Interstate 25, at 1375 W. Plum Creek Parkway. One of the newest trails in Castle Rock’s system is the Legacy Trail at Gateway Mesa Open Space. It runs through large stands of mature Gambel oak, ponderosa pine and Douglas fir forest while also traversing interesting rock formations along the edge of the mesa, Smullen says.

Kaleidoscope show makes transition to online viewing Show hosted by college adjusts by going virtual BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton has hosted the annual and diverse Kaleidoscope Art Exhibition for the past 18 years, but this year, photographers, painters, potters and creators of crafts submitted images of 100 entries when gallery director Trish Sangelo sent out a call to artists. The exhibit is in virtual format and can be found easily on ACC’s website at arapahoe. edu/kaleidoscope. Oils, watercolors, mixed media, acrylic paintings, prints and handcrafted items are included in the “entries varied in many media, subject matter, style and technique,” Sangelo writes, adding that “the COVID-19 pandemic instantly changed how we temporarily view art ... As juror, artist, professor and gallery director, I focused on three main areas of critique: formal elements,
technical competency and individual expression. Each piece must stand alone on its merit.” Entries, as always, vary widely, but are consistently created with technical skill — including photography, oil painting, watercolors, oil and cold wax, mixed media, acrylic painting, pastels, plus handcrafted works in wood, clay, fiber and more — a greater variety of techniques, media and imaginative use of material than the average exhibit which may have limitations in some of those areas ... And the viewer may find a perfect gift here, to be delivered later. I did note a “sold” sign on something and would encourage more. We’ll become accustomed to more virtual art exhibits in the future, I’d imagine. “Individual expression has a way to evoke emotion, talk to us, pose a question, make us think and consider a new perspective,” Sangelo said. Find the exhibit on the Arapahoe Community College website and scroll through it several times — different details stand out with each pass. A touch on the image flips it to reveal the artist and more information on materials. A couple of clicks enlarges it for
Dorothy Jaltuch’s watercolor “Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Italie” is part of the 18th annual Kaleidoscope exhibit at Arapahoe Community College. COURTESY PHOTO closer inspection … Sangelo has worked hard to make the exhibit as accessible as possible. (I wish dimensions were included on the website — they would be another tool for the viewer, as
one becomes accustomed to a different way of experiencing art.) Most of these artworks are for sale, and would be a welcome addition to one’s home, or as a special gift ... contact
Sangelo at ACC if something strikes your fancy by writing to trish.sangelo@arapahoe. edu. Works vary from Tippy McIntosh’s beautifully finished piece created with hand-rubbed oils on camphor wood (which I badly needed to touch) to paintings of subjects ranging from landscapes, sunny and stormy, to radishes and a finely rendered cabbage — and textures including architecture, an old metal truck grill and Carol Broere’s clay “Circles.” In another category of color, inspiring an inclination to stroke the surface, is Centennial Elementary teacher Gayla Ruckhaus’ “Anaheims” created with bright felted wool and silk ... What a perfect gift for a pepper aficionado. Littleton artist Shirley Lamb’s entry is called “Spider Tree” and Susan Blosten exhibits a mixed media piece she named “Out on a Limb.” Note a print called “The Boatman” by Cynthia VeltmanMarshall. We hope the beautiful Colorado Gallery of the Arts will be open again to the community soon for in-person visits, but in the interim, be sure to experience the virtual Kaleidoscope.

CLOSURE FROM PAGE 1
“It was just out of nowhere,” Paris said of Howard’s death. “I don’t see why whoever hit him won’t come forward. They took him from my daughter and everyone who cared about him and just left. Nothing will bring Carl back, but we need closure.” She feels his absence most in the morning. Howard liked to wake up early, as did Paris’ daughter, 2-year-old Dalylah. The pair would let Mom sleep in until breakfast was ready. Paris said Howard often brought her flowers that he got by asking neighbors if he could pluck a blossom for his sweetheart or by gathering discarded blooms from Banister’s Flowers just around the corner. Howard, who had two sons of his own from a prior marriage, loved Dalylah like his own. “They just lit up when they saw each other,” Paris said. “She brought such joy and energy to Carl’s life.” Around Paris’ house are reminders of Howard. A weeping willow tree growing from a sprig from one of his bouquets. A swing for Dalylah he brought home on his bike. “Everything I do reminds me of him,” Paris said. Paris tries to keep her grief from Dalylah. “She’s just a 2-year-old,” Paris said. “She needs me to take care of her and not let my emotions rub off on her. I just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other, especially now that I don’t have that person in my life to help raise her. I’m just hoping whoever did this to us comes forward so we can start to move on.” Howard left many broken hearts around town. Brenda Sleigh, who lives near Englewood’s Belleview Park, called Howard “as much of a best friend as a man can be.”
Carl Howard with his sister Della. “Men don’t always listen,” Sleigh said. “Carl listened. I could vent to him. He was so polite and well-spoken.” Howard had endured hard times, Sleigh said. He had struggled with addiction, recovered from a car accident, and mainly rode a bicycle after losing his driver’s license years ago. His first wife passed away. A former mechanic and roofer, Howard had trouble working after breaking his arms in a fall from a roof. Sleigh said she could always count on Howard, who helped out with her annual yard sales. When a fire scorched the side of her shed a few years ago, Sleigh didn’t have money to fix it, so Howard showed up the next day with paint and brushes and helped her paint over the damage. “He was a good man,” Sleigh said. “A good father. A good friend.” Paris, Howard’s girlfriend, said she

is still haunted by the last thing she told him: To take a flashlight with him before he hopped on his bike toward his sister’s house just after dusk on June 23. “He told me he always rode without a flashlight, and he’d always been fine,” Paris said. “He was stubborn. Maybe I should have made him take it.” Shortly afterward, a neighbor knocked on Paris’ door. She had seen Howard’s bike lying in the street, surrounded by police and paramedics. That night, Paris sat in the Swedish Medical Center emergency room for six excruciating hours before she found out Howard was gone. When she went to see him, she gave him a final kiss on the forehead. His head was cold, but his chest was still warm, she recalled. On June 24, Englewood Police released their initial description of
the suspect vehicle: a dark-colored pickup truck. On July 9, they updated the description: a dark silver 2014-2016 Dodge Ram 1500 quad-cab truck with a bed covering, chrome-colored fulllength running boards, tinted windows, chrome front and rear bumpers, and black mirrors with turn signal lights in the mirror housing. No arrest had yet been made as of July 17. The investigation is ongoing, and detectives continue to follow up on leads, Englewood Police investigator Scot Allen said in an email. Metro Denver Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Sleigh, Howard’s longtime friend, had a message for his killer. “Come forward,” Sleigh said. “Face whatever you have to face. Carl, his family, all of us deserve peace. Man up.”
Tri-County Health closes offices following threat Agency has been targeted before by threats, vandalism BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The chief of the Tri-County Health Department ordered the agency’s
headquarters to close temporarily after police informed staff of a threat against the department’s building in Greenwood Village. The agency administers public health services in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The Greenwood Village Police Department informed health department officials of the threat in the evening of July 8. Officials closed the building at 6162 S. Willow Dr. July 9-10; it was
Weekly Carrier Routes Available
open again July 13. Officials did not disclose the specific nature of the threat or when it was made. Police later deemed the threat to be not credible. Dr. John Douglas, the agency’s executive director, said the department previously received other threats directed at employees and the building has been vandalized multiple times. People have also staged protests outside the building. The agency has stirred up controversy among some in its response to
the COVID-19 crisis, including directives involving public mask wearing and staying at home. It is not known if the latest threat was related to the controversy. Douglas said much of the vitriol has ramped up recently. “I think it’s deeply — and I want to underscore deeply —disappointing, in the time of a pandemic, the divisiveness in this country,” Douglas said. “The people on the frontlines responding to the pandemic are getting attacked. It’s clearly a minority, but a vocal minority.”

Football squad could see turnaround year Ulises Velazquez is skilled rusher looking ahead to hoped-for season BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Littleton’s Ulises Velazquez has worked to improve his strength and speed. COURTESY PHOTO
Ulises Velazquez is a 5-foot-7 senior running back and defensive back on the Littleton High School football team who is getting ready for his last high school football season — if there is one during the 2020 fall season amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He played in seven games last season and rushed for 123 yards on 45 carries and is the top returning Lions rusher from a year ago. “I was a junior last year and we had seniors and most of them had played a lot more than me,” said Velazquez. “I’ve been lifting weights since the gyms reopened. I lifted weights to get stronger and better. I worked on footwork also, helping the position I play. “I usually do other workouts, like core muscles. I’m just trying to get faster and stronger. I’ve got my fundamentals down.” Littleton coach Zeric Martinez sees a lot of potential in Velazquez. “He is a rising senior for us,” said Martinez. “He’s a dedicated team leader who since I have been here has fully committed himself to the football program.” Velazquez has high hopes for the
Lions this season. “This year we’re getting some new players from other schools, which is helpful,” admitted Velazquez. “They are all athletic. There’s this one player who came from Arapahoe and he’s a good quarterback. He’s athletic and a good player. “For this season we’re going to start winning games. We’ll have a better team.” Martinez cautions that the new players might take some time before coming eligible because of the new transfer rules. Littleton has been winless for the past two seasons and has only one record above the .500 mark over the past 10 campaigns. “Winning is one of the goals for the season, and less injuries of course,” said Velazquez. “I want to help the team out and help winning games. Wow, Littleton’s record is crazy.” So, Velazquez is practicing his pep talks. “I just feel like some players once we are scored on, they get their heads down and they don’t get back up,” he said. “That’s what I’m trying to teach them and try to help our team not get down and get back up and just keep fighting no matter what. Yeah, a win is better than a loss. “Sometimes I do give a pep talk. I just say, hey we’re not done yet, we have to keep going and we can still score. We have to keep our heads up, not blend in and try to get up.”

MASK ORDER FROM PAGE 2
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment showed 49% mask-wearing in places without a rule and 57% with a rule, Polis said. It appears mask requirements do not make people less likely to follow social distancing, Polis added. Earlier in the month, the governor was still betting on persuasion instead of an order, hoping to try “every method of communication” to try to convince Coloradans to wear masks, he said. “If you’re somehow waiting to wear a mask until the governor tells you to, I hope you’ve heard that I’m telling you to. And if I haven’t been clear, I’m telling you to wear a mask: Wear a damn mask,” Polis said at a July 9 news conference. In the days before the statewide order, more than half the state’s population had a mask-wearing requirement in their local jurisdiction. That includes many municipalities and counties in the Denver metro area. “Coloradans value their bodily autonomy and their liberty, but the reason this issue is more complex is it’s not so much about just your rights — it’s also about protecting the right to live of those who are impacted by your decisions,” Polis said. The way to avoid the need for another stay-at-home order is mask-wearing and limiting socializing, Polis said. State officials have acknowledged several times that the state could see stay-at-home orders again if the pandemic becomes dire enough in Colorado. Coronavirus cases in the state have seen an upswing for roughly the past month. Order spotlights businesses Coffman took issue with Tri-County
Health’s mask-wearing order for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas because it allowed counties and municipalities to opt out. “A majority of the workforce leaves Aurora in the morning and comes back in the late afternoon. And so, the notion that we could have this patchwork and have it be effective is just not possible,” Coffman said. In the past, including at a July 14 news conference, Polis had argued a statewide mask order would be difficult for the state to enforce and that efforts with local enforcement capabilities are more effective. What helped change his mind is the research that showed “the mere existence” of local requirements correlated to about 15% more mask-wearing, despite that they’re seldom enforced, Polis said. Under the state’s order, a person without a mask who refuses to leave a business would be trespassing — similar to if a person enters a store without proper clothing — and local law officers can enforce that, Polis said. Businesses serving the public may not provide service to a customer or allow a customer onto its public indoor space unless the customer is wearing a face covering, according to the governor’s office news release. Businesses will be required to uphold the requirement if they don’t want their licenses to be affected, Polis said. On the other hand, the order will give business owners firmer ground to stand on in requiring people to wear masks, Polis argued. “I’ve heard from many business owners who are frustrated that they haven’t had the moral authority” to ask people to wear masks, Polis said, adding: “This will help small business owners to make sure their customers are safe and that their employees are safe.”

CROWLEY WELL 3 Public Notice CONCERNING THE ABANDONMENT LIST OF WATER RIGHTS IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY
The Division Engineer, in accordance with §37-92-401, Colorado Revised Statutes (2019), has compiled the list of absolute water rights that he or she “has determined to have been abandoned in whole or in part and which previously have not been adjudged to have been abandoned.” A complete list of water rights that have been abandoned, in the opinion of the Division Engineer, may be found on the Division of Water Resources (DWR) website https://www.colorado.gov/water. If you wish to object to the inclusion of any water right on the Division Engineer’s abandonment list, you must file a written statement of objection with the Division Engineer by July 1, 2021. We request that objections be submitted using DWR’s Abandonment Objection Form, which can be obtained on the DWR website (search keyword “Abandonment 2020”) or from any DWR office. The Abandonment List, with any revisions made as a result of written statements of objection, will be filed with the Water Court by December 31, 2021. Once the list is adjudged by the entry of a decree by the Water Court, such decree will be conclusive as to the abandonment of the water right. In the following table, U indicates units of either C=cfs or A=acre-ft. The uses being abandoned are either 'All Uses' indicating all decreed uses of the water right, or the individual uses listed, such as Irr=Irrigation. If any aspect of the decreed place of use is being abandoned, that is indicated by 'Yes' in the Place column. WATER DIVISION 1 ABANDONMENT LIST Structure Name Water Source

The highlights of the plans include provisions that will require students and staff members returning to inperson learning to have daily wellness checks like temperature checks and brief wellness questions. All students and staff will also be required to wear face coverings — as required by the state when Gov. Jared Polis issued a statewide mask-wearing order on July 16. The school district will provide reusable masks to students and staff. Englewood School Board Treasurer Steven Leflar, who has three children in elementary school and one in middle school in Englewood, said masks have been politicized, and he doesn’t want politics to play a role when it comes to safety. “At the end of the day, my concern would be is making sure the masks are there and tracing. If there’s an outbreak, we have to be able to get notified correctly,” said Leflar. He added that he understands there is fear and said he believes Rubin and Englewood School leaders have the best interest of the district. Englewood Schools will place students exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms in an isolated room until parents are able to take their child away from the school. School nurses will be trained in contact-tracing to assist identifying students, families or schools with any concerns, according to the plan. The district will also actively monitor school attendance to understand potential trends in symptoms for a child missing school. One positive case in a school will result in a 72-hour closure. If three positive cases occur in a school, the building will be closed for two weeks. Students will be assigned to cohorts, or groups, to lessen exposure and to assist contact tracing in the event of a COVID-19 case. Passing periods will be limited by teachers moving to students. Desks in classrooms will be spread out to practice social distancing. Englewood Schoolboard President Caty Husbands said she believes it will be achievable to practice social distancing in classrooms. She said from what the school district has seen so far, as far as parents making the choice between online and in-person learning, classrooms will have enough space to social distance. The district is encouraging its
Englewood Schools Superintendent Wendy Rubin presents return-to-school plans to teachers at a July 16 virtual townhall meeting. The school district plans to offer in-person and remote learning options to parents for the upcoming school year. SCREENSHOT BY JOSEPH RIOS schools to utilize the outdoors for learning. All elementary schools in Englewood have outdoor classrooms. The Englewood Campus, which is home to Englewood Middle School and Englewood High School, and Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice all have some classrooms with garage doors that open up to create an indoor and outdoor space. Colorado’s Finest also has a courtyard that classes can access. Electives like choir and physical education will continue and adhere to social distancing. The plan reads that students will be encouraged to video themselves performing band instruments and singing. Class time will be used for review and individual instruction. Physical education classes will be held outdoors and may contain elements of remote learning. Students are expected to be kept in cohorts when utilizing playgrounds and fields. There will be a limited use of playground equipment that will be sanitized frequently, and students will be taught and encouraged to participate in touch-free activities like hopscotch, kicking a soccer ball, jumping rope and more. The school district is encouraging parents to take their children to school, but it is planning to take precautions for those who utilize school buses. Hand sanitizer stations will be
placed on buses and brief wellness screenings will occur every morning on bus routes. Attendance will be taken every day on buses in an effort to trace potential COVID-19 cases. After each school bus run, cleaning efforts will take place. “(School buses are) a priority. We want to make sure we are doing everything we can to provide the choice that works best for our families and teachers in the situation, and that includes providing transportation for kids who need it to get to school because that is what works best for them,” said Husbands. Breakfast and lunch will be served each day to students and social distancing will take place in cafeterias rather than classrooms. Rubin said at a July 17 townhall for parents that it is easier to disinfect and clean cafeterias. “We don’t want to create 20 little cafeterias all over the school building,” she said at the townhall. Englewood Schools plans to institute synchronous and asynchronous learning techniques for those who choose to learn virtually. Synchronous learning will involve teachers and students collaborating, teaching, learning and interacting through Zoom. Asynchronous learning will entail student-directed and independent learning.
Grading will be identical to how grades operate in a normal education environment. Students enrolled in online learning will be expected to participate and submit assignments on time. In May, Englewood Schools surveyed staff and parents about their opinions about returning to school this fall. Out of 719 responses, 78% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that students should return to in-person learning in the fall as long as safety plans are in place. COVID-19 cases have recently increased in Colorado. The state reported an increase of cases from 38,155 cases on July 15 to 38,726 cases on July 16. Englewood Schools will host a virtual townhall for Spanish-speaking parents on July 23 at 9 a.m. The return to school plan, remote learning plan and the link to the town hall can be found at englewoodschools.net/return-2020. “My main concern is keeping everyone safe, and I think we are working tirelessly with local and state health officials and folks from the department of education as well as our community to provide the safest possible environment. That is going to include masks, that is going to include social distancing, and it’s going to include frequent sanitizing,” said Husbands.
