I was watching the Colorado Rockies play against the Oakland Athletics, and I saw the cardboard cutout fans placed in the stands of the ballpark and the players and coaches in masks. I heard the artificial crowd noise at the game, and it may sound goofy, but watching the Rockies that day is when I started to mentally feel like I had the virus.
The City of Englewood has announced that Tim Dodd will serve as the new assistant to the city manager. Dodd will be responsible for leading and monitoring the execution of the Englewood Strategic Plan, a document that guides Englewood City Council’s prioritization of funding for the city budget and five year capital improvement plan, and will play a role in addressing homelessness through the Tri-Cities Homelessness Policy Team, a team of public officials working to address homelessness in Sheridan, Littleton and Englewood. Dodd recently worked as chief performance officer for Santa Monica, California and performance manager for the City of Baltimore, where he developed the city’s first performance evaluation system for managers and an organizational development and training program. He has a doctorate in law and policy from Northeastern University, a master’s in history from Providence College and a bachelor’s in history and political science from American University.

Looking back on local retail landmark’s history Kaufman’s ‘treated everybody like they were us’ BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Back in 1958, Fred Kaufman owned a men’s clothing store across the
street from where Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop currently resides at 3395 S. Broadway in Englewood. Fred had a relationship with Troy Bledsoe, a former University of Denver men’s basketball head coach, and after talks with Bledsoe, Fred realized tall and big men had a difficult time finding clothes. So, he started the process of reinventing
his business. Fred was able to persuade clothing manufacturers to make clothes for tall and big men, and once those clothes were produced, Fred told his customers he could no longer serve them because he was now a tall and big store. SEE KAUFMAN’S, P14
A reporter’s bout with COVID-19 ‘I didn’t realize how mentally challenging it would be’ BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
July 29 was the 10th day I had been feeling sick with COVID-19,
and by that time, I had all the symptoms you’ve read or heard about. I had a fever. I could feel myself losing my breath if I did something as simple as make my bed. I had a cough, and I could barley walk around my tiny apartment or walk outside to go throw out the trash. But it wasn’t until July 29 that I really realized that I was sick COVID-19.

LPS affirms in-person start despite concerns Teachers fear that things could get worse fast BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Littleton Public Schools officials say the district is on track to begin the school year with in-person learning on Aug. 24, though many district teachers and parents say they remain extremely skeptical of the decision and would prefer the school year begin online. At the Aug. 13 school board meeting, the board reaffirmed the decision to begin the school year with fiveday in-person weeks at the elementary level, and a hybrid model at the middle and high school level that will see students split their time between classroom and online learning. Families still have the option to choose a fully online curriculum at all grade levels. At the prior school board meeting at the end of July, Superintendent Brian Ewert introduced a four-metric scale that would be used to determine whether schools could stay open, based on county-level statistics of novel coronavirus infection rates. At the time, the metric showed the district scored a 4 on an 8-point scale, considered the bare minimum to reopen. Since then, Ewert reported at the Aug. 13 meeting, the data had improved, with the district showing a SEE LPS, P3

score of 7, largely driven by a reduction in uncontrolled community spread. Still, many teachers say reopening schools remains highly dangerous, saying the community’s improved infection numbers could become far worse once students begin intermingling in large numbers. “My wife and I have invested our lives in this community,” Littleton High School teacher Kevin Brooks told the board. “She has interstitial lung disease. She’s been a substitute teacher, but she won’t this year. I will never forgive myself if I do bring that virus home to her. I offer that starting remotely would solve nearly all the decisions we’re discussing.” The district has seen numerous teachers choose early retirements and leaves of absence this summer, said Michael Jones, the district’s assistant superintendent of human resources. About 1,500 students had enrolled in TOPS, the district’s online learning program, as of the Aug. 13 meeting, representing about a tenth of the district’s roughly 15,000 students. Board hears concerns Some students and parents who called into the meeting expressed deep concern over in-person learning. “I don’t want my kids to be exposed to this virus,” said parent Ryan Stearns. “I don’t want my family members to be exposed to it... All the signs are pointing to this being a terrible situation. But my ex-wife doesn’t believe what’s out there. She wants them to go to school. I don’t have a legal basis to stand up for me. If you make decision to go in person, I don’t have a choice ... So I’m leaving it up to you guys. I need the district to do the right thing. Don’t roll the dice and take chances with lives.” Numerous local districts have announced they will begin the school year remotely, including Denver, Aurora and Jefferson County. The Littleton Education Association, the district’s teacher’s union, submitted a letter to the board, citing surveys of teachers showing widespread trepidation about a reopening. The group said it cannot endorse the reopening plans, saying there is not yet enough information to ensure that students and staff can be kept safe. “This announcement is made without animosity or acrimony, yet with gratitude to all of the individuals ... who have tried valiantly since June to create a safe and workable plan for reopening LPS schools in person,” the letter reads in part. Respondents to the survey, which the LEA says includes 80% of teachers in the group, which represents three-quarters of district teachers, largely say they feel schools do not have adequate safety measures in place. Overall, half of respondents say they would prefer a remote start to the school year. While a third of elementary school teachers surveyed said they prefer a remote start, nearly two-thirds of middle and high school teachers preferred distance learning to in-person education. “It goes without saying that respondents think that in-person instruction is more effective for most students,” the letter reads in part, but says “the health and safety risks posed by COVID-19 are greater than
the educational rewards posted by the current LPS restart plan.” District makes preparations District officials say they have gone to great lengths to ensure the safety of in-person learning, including mandating face masks for all students in all grades except preschool, removing extraneous furniture and materials from all classrooms, securing supplies of personal protective equipment for teachers and staff, arranging for free coronavirus testing, and establishing protocols to reduce student intermingling. Principals who spoke at the Aug. 13 meeting agreed they are looking forward to welcoming students back to school. “There is no perfect plan,” Arapahoe High School principal Natalie Pramenko told the board. “We believe the current restart plan is the best opportunity to begin the 2020 school year. Schools provide so much more than just education.” “I’m aware of the rhetoric of teachers feeling scared,” said Bryan Breuer, the princiapl of Goddard Middle School. “It’s incredibly important to pause and listen and understand. I believe in science. I know these are difficult decisions. I’m a Littleton community member, and the father of two high school kids going back under the (hybrid) model.” Others expressed concerns that reopening schools would simply result in widespread shutdowns if the virus causes outbreaks among students and staff. Ewert said district officials will work closely with Tri-County Health Department to contain outbreaks by strategically targeting close student populations, but acknowledged schools could see closures. Though board members acknowledged the situation is tenuous, they unanimously agreed to endorse the current reopening plan, saying there is no one-size-fits-all answer, and saying in-person learning is important to make sure all families and students have the chance to have their needs met. Board member Kelly Perez said she recently spoke with several high school juniors who were excited to return to school. “It’s about the students,” Perez said, saying even if outbreaks force school-wide shutdowns in a matter of weeks, at least students will have had a chance to connect with teachers in-person. “It’s scary. Nobody wants to go to work and end up dead. The thing is, after a lot of thought and talking to people, the district has done a whole bunch of work ... It was very powerful to hear principals say the teachers are excited. We’re all scared of ending up on a ventilator or dying. The district did a phenomenal job. Get the kids in school. Let them meet the teachers.” “I want our community to recognize this is not an easy thing we’re asking of this system,” said board member Carrie Warren-Gully. “The easy thing would’ve been to say we’re going remote ... This is an incredbly emotional time. We have to make a decision that’s the best for all of our students, not just some of them. We have students who could be home alone doing online. We have students in potentially in life-threatening situations that will only be reported by going to school ... We are moving together as a community.” “I’m at minimum ambivalent,” said board member Robert Reichardt. “But I’m placing my bet here. My two health-compromised children will go to high school in-person on the 24th.”

COVID testing: Important, say officials, but is it free? Some health plans have refused to pay costs, lawmakers say BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
More than half a year after COVID-19 emerged as a major threat to Coloradans, a big question remains surrounding a key element in the war against the disease: testing, and whether it should be free for everyone. Widespread confusion over whether getting tested for the virus is free has continued months after Congress appeared to put the question to bed with two laws in March, and questions have still lingered this summer as to when the public may be hit with unexpected costs. Some health insurance offered by Americans’ employers — known as self-funded or self-insured health plans — have refused to pay for COVID-19 tests at all or have required that consumers pay some costs, according to a letter from congressional Democrats to federal officials in July. That’s despite the fact that federal guidance issued in late June appeared to affirm that insurers refusing to pay for tests for those with COVID-19 symptoms, or who had recent exposure to COVID-19, is unlawful. Self-insured plans must cover services related to testing, according to the June 23 guidance by the federal Departments of Labor, Health and

another complication: A rule that COVID-19 testing for employment purposes — such as when a workplace requires tests before employees return to work — are not required to be covered. Neither is testing under proactive public health efforts to better understand how the coronavirus is spreading. Colorado officials have, at times, been quick to paint the cost of testing as simple. “Testing is free,” a March 10 state news release said. “Whether you have Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance or no health care insurance, cost is not a barrier — there is no copay, there is no out-of-pocket for testing,” Gov. Jared Polis said at a May 18 news conference. The reality is more nuanced, although many insured Coloradans — if not the vast majority — should be able to undergo testing without costs if they have symptoms or if they believe they have been exposed to COVID-19. Uninsured Coloradans can also access free testing depending on where they seek the service. On Aug. 11, Polis announced the opening of two new drive-up sites for free public testing at the Aurora Sports Complex and at Hyland Hills Water World in Federal Heights, joining the existing site at Pepsi Center. At press time yet another site was expected to be announced south of Denver. In making the announcement, the governor said fast testing will be the key to stopping the virus’ spread and returning Colorado to normal. “We know that our success against this virus relies on information,” Polis said. “This is a war and intelligence is critical, knowing where the enemy is and if you are in danger.” Employer-based plans in spotlight In their July 7 letter, congressional Democrats cited a report by Kaiser
Health News, a nonprofit news outlet that covers national health policy. Many Americans are covered by self-funded plans, where an employer’s money pays the claims, KHN reported. It may not be clear to employees that they are in such a plan, the outlet added. Many of the companies with those plans have operated as if they’re exempt from the federal rules, the outlet reported May 22. The U.S. Labor Department, which regulates self-funded health plans, could not immediately be reached for comment on whether self-funded plans are widely refusing to pay for COVID-19 tests or requiring consumers to bear part of the cost in Colorado and other states. The Colorado Division of Insurance didn’t have information on that question because of its lack of authority over self-funded plans, Vincent Plymell, the division’s assistant commissioner, told Colorado Community Media. “Knowing the varied nature of employers (and) self-funded plans, it is likely that their approach to these situations is also varied,” Plymell said. Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act — passed by Congress in mid-March and amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act — health care coverage must generally provide COVID-19 testing and the health care office visits that ultimately result in a test, without any costsharing. That’s a term that means the costs consumers pay out of their own pockets, including deductibles, copayments and coinsurance. The federal June 23 guidance says both insured and self-insured group health plans are required to comply with those requirements. SEE TESTING, P8

RTD picks 3 CEO finalists, ensuring 1st female leader BY MICHAEL KARLIK COLORADO POLITICS
Three women are under consideration to be the next leader of the Regional Transportation District, as the agency on Aug. 7 announced the finalists to be CEO and general manager. “We certainly couldn’t have predicted the year we have had, but we are confident that one of these three candidates has what it takes to lead us forward during recovery and beyond,” said RTD Board of Directors Chair Angie Rivera-Malpiede. Whomever the board selects will be the agency’s first female general manager. Two of the three finalists hail from the West: Debra Johnson is currently the deputy CEO of Long Beach Transit in southern California. She
has worked in public transportation for more than 25 years and has also served at agencies in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles County. Tina Quigley was most recently the CEO of the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. She retired last year after 14 years with the Las Vegas-based transit, planning and traffic management organization. Quigley is also a licensed pilot who first started as a planner at Las Vegas’s McCarran International Airport. Adelee Le Grand has worked for Transdev North America as a vice president and chief strategy officer. Through a public-private partnership, she assisted the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority with developing a strategic mobility plan. Le Grand held positions with the
Georgia Department of Transportation and other local agencies in the state. After initially receiving a roster of 58 applicants, the executive search committee at RTD created a list of six semifinalists, which narrowed to three on Aug. 7. There will be opportunities for the public and employees to provide their opinions before the board makes its decision, likely in late August. RTD’s interim CEO and general manager, Paul J. Ballard, has served since February. As of 2016, RTD was the 14thlargest transit service in the country based on total passenger trips.

TESTING
WHO TO CALL IF YOU FACE COSTS

Testing for workplaces, pandemic data That federal guidance says the requirements don’t apply for testing for employment purposes or testing as part of certain public health datagathering about the pandemic. “Clinical decisions about testing are made by the individual’s attending health-care provider and may include testing of individuals with signs or symptoms compatible with COVID-19, as well as (individuals without symptoms) with known or suspected recent exposure” to the coronavirus, the federal guidance says. It adds: “Testing conducted to screen for general workplace health and safety, such as employee ‘return to work’ programs,” or for public health surveillance for the coronavirus, “is beyond the scope” of the law. Congressional Democrats — Reps. Frank Pallone Jr. of New Jersey, Robert Scott of Virginia and Richard Neal of Massachusetts, and Sens. Patty Murray of Washington and Ron Wyden of Oregon — took issue with that interpretation. “We find the administration’s revised guidance deeply concerning as it appears to be a change that is without basis in the plain language of the statute,” the lawmakers wrote in the July 7 letter. They added: “Widespread testing must be in place to detect and stop the spread of COVID-19, and ensuring safety in the workplace is critical.” As of Aug. 6, the Colorado Division of Insurance didn’t know if some private insurers stopped fully covering all consumer costs for testing required by a workplace or for public health surveillance purposes, Plymell said.

The rub over public health datagathering may be moot in Colorado, according to the state public-health department. “We do several different types of surveillance testing to understand the burden of disease in Colorado — none of those samples are billed to private insurance,” the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said in a statement. “The costs of analysis are captured by public health funding for public health surveillance programs. For example, we take a systematic sample of specimens that test negative for influenza and test them for COVID at the state lab.” When testing is covered The Colorado Division of Insurance estimates that one-third of Coloradans’ health insurance plans are ones the division regulates; one-third are self-funded plans that the divi-

sion doesn’t regulate; and one-third are public plans, such as Medicaid, Medicare and those of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, according to Plymell. People with any kind of private health insurance should have free access to the COVID-19 test — along with health care provider visits associated with getting the test — with no co-pays, deductibles or co-insurance charged, according to the state insurance division. Under the division’s emergency regulation, that’s true not only if a doctor recommends a test but also if a person feels they have symptoms and they need to get tested, Plymell said. And if a person is asymptomatic but is told by their health care provider that it is medically appropriate to be tested anyway, the test and visit should be covered with no cost-sharing. “Being exposed to COVID-19 or believing one had been exposed would be the likely scenario why a provider would deem a test medically appropriate if the person was asymptomatic,” Plymell said. Other reasons would likely be on a case-by-case basis. But Coloradans likely wouldn’t be covered without cost-sharing “if someone is asymptomatic and they think it would just be a good idea to get a test,” Plymell said. Coloradans should check with their health care provider to be sure of costs. Medicare, Medicaid, VA For Coloradans with Medicare, all of the costs are covered if a doctor orders a COVID-19 test, according to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Under Colorado’s Medicaid program — Health First Colorado — and the Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+), all the costs of testing and the doctors’ visits associated with getting tested are covered, according to the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. Tests for Medicare and Medicaid members must be ordered by the member’s doctor or other health care provider, said Marc Williams, spokesman for the department. “Medicaid will cover the test at 100% provided the patient is enrolled in Medicaid and the provider is also a Medicaid-enrolled provider,” Williams said. Medicaid members can locate enrolled providers through the “find a provider” page at healthfirstcolorado.
com/find-doctors, according to Williams. The Veterans Affairs website says testing is based on many factors, including the severity of symptoms, other existing illnesses or conditions, possible exposure and other criteria. VA health facilities have been testing veterans who meet the testing criteria provided by the federal Centers for Disease Control, the site says. There’s no charge for testing, according to the VA. For the uninsured A government program to reimburse health care providers and facilities for testing and treatment of COVID-19 for uninsured individuals provides funds to eligible providers, said Scott Kodish, a spokesman for the federal Health Resources and Services Administration. Health care providers can request reimbursement and will be reimbursed generally at Medicare rates, subject to available funding, Kodish has said. For those served by those providers, there are no charges to uninsured patients. An online CDC page lists health care providers who have agreed to the terms of the program and received reimbursement for COVID-19 testing of uninsured individuals: tinyurl.com/ LocationsForUninsured. Uninsured Coloradans should contact the state Health Care Policy Department at 303-866-2993 to ask about options. To apply for Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus, visit coloradopeak.secure.force.com. Local testing sites Some of Colorado’s dozens of local testing sites did not list a recommendation for a doctor’s note for testing in May. Coloradans should contact the state public-health department or the sites themselves for questions about insurance and other requirements they may have for getting tested. Find the list of locations and contact information at the bottom of the page at tinyurl.com/TestingLocationList at the “find a community testing site” link. After months of limits on who has priority for testing, the state announced in May that test capacity had grown to include members of the general public with symptoms. Asymptomatic Coloradans could also be tested at some locations, according to testing sites’ information at the time.

A
rchbishop Desmond Tutu, in the documentary film “I AM,” was asked how to change the world. “How do you eat an elephant?” he replied. “One bite at a time.” Behind the humor, FINANCIAL what Tutu meant STRATEGIES was that everything in life that seems daunting, overwhelming and even impossible can be accomplished gradually by taking on just a little at a time.¹ Many of us may feel that our current Patricia Kummer economic situation is also daunting and staying on track with our financial plans may seem impossible. Some have lost jobs, others took early retirement, investments are volatile, medical costs are rising; the list goes on and on. When our world changes and becomes unpredictable, we tend to shy
away from trying to plan in any way. Investors may feel whipsawed by a handful of stocks hitting all-time record highs, while so many other industries are struggling. It is also difficult to grasp what is going on in the economy when our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter decreased 32.9%.² Corporate earnings are also negative, however, 89% of companies that reported are 22.4% above estimates.³ We call this “less bad.” So maybe we are not drowning but certainly gasping for air. We can also be concerned about the political arena, a global recession and China. All of this reminds me of New York Times columnist and author Carl Richards, CFP®. His famous drawing of two spheres puts this into perspective. Picture two circles about four inches, each overlapping about one-half inch in the middle.

I’m the one who is out of step. If everyone is doing it, it can’t be wrong, right? It does make me wonder how half the people on the road passed their driver’s test. (I guess we can all behave for 10 or 15 minutes.) Come ride with me: If we can get from here to Home Depot without witnessing 10 moving violations I’ll buy you a velocipede. Did you know it’s against the law to park on the wrong side of the street in a residential neighborhood? Some of my neighbors haven’t heard the news. If someone doesn’t know which side of the street to park on, maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to order Chinese. Or own a dish washer. I probably expect too much of people.

Should Focus On.” There is your first bite of the elephant; a half-inch list of things that are important that you can actually impact. That’s where you start to plan. The rest is noise, or, on some days, mayhem. Richards states, “The amount of time we spend worrying seems to go up exponentially when we don’t have a plan.” So how do you plan during all of this uncertainty? One step at a time. It is important to stay focused on the goal, even if you have been derailed temporarily. Keeping your eye on the target can help you make better decisions along the way. One common mistake people make is looking for the quick fix or magic bullet. We advisors see investors searching for the “shiny object” instead of going back and working the financial plan. Chances are the things that appear to be too good to be true can oftentimes get you into more trouble than if you just stick to the plan.

‘Nobody’s perfect’ is perfect to remember
ou may have had the perfect meal recently, accompanied by a perfect bottle of wine. Maybe you had a perfect tee shot, driving it dead center in the middle WINNING of the fairway. Or WORDS maybe you had the perfect start of your day with time spent reading, exercising, and a healthy breakfast. But have you ever met a perfect person? I don’t mean the perfect person for you; many have met Michael Norton their soulmate in life. And I don’t mean the perfect person to help you out when you needed it, like the perfect friend. What I am asking is, have you ever met a perfect person? A person who is perfect in every way. There is not a blemish to be found on them or in them. They are never wrong. They have never made a mistake. They have never had a bad day or created a bad experience for anyone. They practically walk on water. Oh, well there was that one perfect guy who walked on water. But since then, who? Like me, who is far from perfect,

I am sure you have met a few folks along the way who believe that they are perfect in every way. When they are wrong, it’s usually someone else’s fault. When they are right, they are really right. And they usually prefer to keep company with friends who they believe are less than perfect, just to maintain an air of superiority. Believe it or not, some of those perfect people who are without fault even judge the rest of us at times. Although you may feel like this column isn’t off to a typical “Winning Words” or positive attitude vibe found in previous columns, I assure you it is. You see, my hope is that I can take some of the pressure off of those of us who are less than perfect, reminding us that we do not have to be perfect, we can just be ourselves. People who love us will love us for our awesomeness, our mediocrity, and our faults. And they will love having perfect meals with us, helping us to finish off those perfect bottles of wine. An acclaimed author and speaker, Dr. Maryann Rosenthal, gave us some incredible advice when she said, “Strive for excellence and not perfection.” That was sound guidance, especially for those of us who are

striving so hard for perfection. This was an eye-opener for me because even though I have been far from perfect, I used to put a lot of pressure on myself to live up to that standard for myself and other people. And knowing that I was never going to walk on water, I chose to take her advice and strive for excellence instead of perfection. Striving for excellence doesn’t mean that we will be excellent. Striving for excellence means that we will do everything we can to be better at whatever it is we want to be better at. Being better to ourselves and our loved ones, being better at our work, better at staying fit, better at looking at the world around us and determining to be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.

Kellner will take on criminals I’m very concerned to hear that Denver is on track for its highest homicide rate in a decade. Denver is not an exception as violent crime is soaring in other cities across our country. One reason this is occurring is that many Democratic district attorneys throughout the country are taking a softer-on-crime approach, refusing to prosecute criminals committing lower-level offenses. This emboldens criminals and as a result violent crime grows. The types of charges a district attorney declines to bring has a ripple effect and can change the culture of a community. Do we want our county’s culture changed because more crime is allowed to go unchecked? That’s why it’s crucial that we elect John Kellner for our (18th) district attorney. John’s proven experience in criminal prosecution will keep our communities safer. He knows what it takes to deter crime and achieve justice in our community and will fight to preserve everyone’s safety across our county. Kellner’s opponent is a radical leftist who has never successfully prosecuted a violent crime. We risk that she’ll follow the lead of other Democratic district attorneys in declining to prosecute lower-level offenses — and we see more evidence
every day of the growing crime this approach delivers. She’s endorsed by a local official who calls the Aurora PD “trash” and who wants candidates who “are down to dismantle the system.” Is this the candidate we want in charge of our county’s safety? Our community deserves and needs an experienced, principled, justiceseeking district attorney like John Kellner.

OBITUARIES POPP
Randy Eugene Popp Randy Eugene Popp, 60, of Littleton, Colorado passed away Thursday, August 6th, 2020 at Littleton Adventist Hospital. A memorial service was held on Friday August 14th at Valley View Christian Church in Littleton, Colorado, with Pastor Gene Barron officiating. His ashes will remain with the family to be scattered according to his wishes. Randy was born on October 25th, 1959 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska to LeRoy Popp and Dorothy May (Ellard) Popp. In 1980 he graduated from Western Nebraska Technical College with his Associates of Applied Arts in Electronics Technology. He was united in marriage to Monica (States) Popp on April 18,1982 in Holdrege Nebraska. Randy lived in Scottsbluff with his wife Monica and children Duane and Janet until his job with Tri-State Generation and Transmission took him to Grand County, Colorado. He later moved to Littleton, Colorado. He worked as a Substation Technician for many years before he became a Senior Transmission Maintenance Support Specialist. Randy worked for TriState for 38 years and was well loved by all who knew him. During his time with Tri-State he was recently nominated for, and received, the Technology Transfer Award from Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) for achievements in collaborative research and development projects.
Randy brought a smile to those around him and all who were close to him knew how much he genuinely cared, even those outside of his family. He was a man of God and strived to live his life so that others could see his strong faith. Randy enjoyed being outdoors and did many bike rides and recumbent trike rides including: MS Bike Tour in 1992, Ride the Rockies in 2002, and, most recently, CF Cycle for Life in 2018. His hobbies also included cooking and grilling. Survivors include his wife Monica (States) Popp of Littleton CO; his children Duane Popp of Littleton, CO, Janet (Popp) Heinrichs and husband Ben Heinrichs of Vallejo, CA; brother Larry Becker of Wyoming, sister Alma (Becker) Holmes of Scottsbluff, NE; nieces Jolie (Becker) Camden and husband Jack Camden of Scottsbluff, NE, Emily (Holmes) Rose and husband Art Rose of Gehrig, NE and Kari Holmes of Scottsbluff, NE, as well as many great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents LeRoy Popp and Dorothy May (Ellard) Popp. Memorials may be given in his honor to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (which he supported in honor of his great nieces) or to Together We Rise (which he supported in honor of his daughter and son in law’s fost-adopt process).

LOCAL
LIFE Some area venues bringing back live music BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
I
t was Feb. 24 when Jason Justice and his four bandmates in Gumbo le Funque, a New Orleans-style funk group, believed they were each coming down with the flu. Their symptoms came on right during Mardi Gras season, the band’s busiest time of year, and for days, the group played long strings of gigs as their symptoms grew worse. Looking back on the events, Justice isn’t surprised that he and his bandmates soon learned they had COVID-19. But at the time, the news was unexpected — and the band had no way of knowing that the illness they were facing was just the beginning of a long struggle that Justice says is far from over. “The whole bottom fell out of the industry,” said Justice, the band’s lead singer and saxophone player. He listed the major hurdles the band has faced: The two-and-a-half-months shutdown in which local musicians weren’t playing at all; the many venues that have stayed closed throughout the summer; and an ongoing Denver County order requiring performers to wear masks, preventing those who play brass or wind instruments from performing in Denver. Now, there are only two places Justice has been performing in the area, he said. In August, he’ll play two gigs and in September, three — less than a third of the number of gigs he played over the same two months in 2019. Across the board, bands are facing a different extent of what Justice calls a disaster, based on the band’s following, whether it’s a local, regional or national act and other factors. But regardless of how deeply musicians have been affected by COVID-19, Denver artists agree: No one’s made it unscathed, making every show a blessing. “By the time March rolled around, we had to cancel three months’ worth of shows,” said Amy Brophy, bassist in rock, blues and alternative band Riverside Drive. “Even now, 90% of our venues are able to pay what they did last summer. It’s been a big step back for a band trying to gain momentum, but we’re so grateful these venues are having live music at all.” Despite the discouraging nature of the challenges local musicians have faced over the past five months, those challenges made it all the more rewarding this summer, when musicians have been able to return to the stage. As he considers the hurdles, Justice remembers a night a couple of months ago,

when he and a fellow musician played their first gig since Feb. 29. “For the two of us to be able to play music together, it was really incredible. Music is the reason I get up in the morning and put my horn together and keep practicing, keep writing,” he said. “There are gigs coming back, but it’s been a wild ride.” The state of live music now Not all venues in the Denver area that previously had live music have brought that element back, or even reopened at all. Justice said several of his regular venues have told him that, due to the cost of opening at limited capacity, they plan to keep their doors shut until March or April of 2021. However, the state of Colorado does have guidelines, last updated in June, for those who choose to reinstate live music. The guidelines require that patrons are seated 25 feet or further from performers. Working within these guidelines hasn’t been possible for every area venue. But for some, like Blue Spruce Brewing Company, bringing back live music has been both possible and a priority in recent months. The brewery, which has locations at 4151 E. County Line Road in Centennial and 10577 W. Centennial Road in Littleton, held its first show since the pandemic on July 4 and has been inviting more musicians to play since then. “Even from last year, we doubled our sales (made during live shows) just because people are dying to experience live music,” said co-owner Theresa Kane. In the Littleton location specifically, the brewery holds weekly shows on Thursday nights on its patio, which it expanded to accommodate social distancing through a county variance. During shows, guests fill the patio and some bring lawn chairs and listen to
musicians while staying six feet apart in the parking lot, Kane said. “They’re excited to get out of the house and be able to do something different that’s not in their house or just eating at a restaurant,” she said. “We’ve been known for our music and since we could bring it back, we did.” As they navigate the new normal for live music, venues have tried a variety of new tactics. For instance, Herman’s Hideaway at 1578 S. Broadway in Denver has taken a slow approach to reintroducing shows, has asked musicians to bring their own microphones and even had one singer stand behind a Plexiglas barrier during a performance, said talent buyer Chris Thomas. “We’re a little bit more on the cautious side,” he said. “It’s not business as usual. But the community in general has had a desire to make it work, and I’m optimistic.” Just as much as the teams at Herman’s Hideaway and Blue Spruce Brewing wanted to restore a part of normal life for guests, they also reinstated the music for the benefit of local musicians. “The musicians I have brought back are so excited to be able to play and they’re very grateful,” Kane said. Local restaurants’ and bars’ commitment to hiring musicians when they can has made all the difference for many of the acts in the area, including Twenty Hands High, a country and southern rock band that plays in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and other regional states. The two-and-a-half months that CW Wooten, guitar player and singer in the band, couldn’t play any gigs, “it was like sliding into a complete halt,” he said. “It was awful to be cut off from your fans and even your bandmates.” About $25,000 worth of gigs were canceled for Wooten, including shows as far in advance as September.
WHERE TO FIND LIVE MUSIC The following is a list of some venues in and around Denver that currently offer live music on a regular basis: Jake’s Roadhouse, 5980 Lamar St., Arvada Rockabillies Bar and Grill, 12363 W. 64th Ave., Arvada Colorado Cork & Keg, 971 Park St., Castle Rock Blue Spruce Brewing Company, 4151 E County Line Road, Centennial Globe Hall, 4483 Logan St., Denver Herman’s Hideaway, 1578 South Broadway, Denver Larimer Lounge, 2721 Larimer St., Denver In the Zone, 15600 W. 44th Ave., Golden The Buffalo Rose, 1119 Washington Ave., Golden The Rusty Bucket Bar and Grill, 3355 S. Wadsworth Blvd., Lakewood Fraco’s Bar, 5302 South Federal Circle, Littleton Lincoln Station Coffee/Pizza/Music, 9360 Station St., Lone Tree @ Cheers, 11964 Washington St., Northglenn Tailgate Tavern & Grill, 19552 E. Main St., Parker Takoda Tavern, 12365 Pine Bluffs Way, Parker Hoffbrau Colorado, 9110 Wadsworth Pkwy, Westminster
That said, since the summer began, things have been looking up for the musician and his fairly well-known band, which has tens of thousands of followers on Facebook. In July and August 2019, Wooten played 32 gigs; in July and August 2020, he’ll play 29. Not all venues can pay their typical rates, he added, but many are trying their best to do so. “We did 150 shows last year, and we’re on track do more than 100 shows this year,” Wooten said. “Outdoor venues are probably the biggest thing keeping live music going right now because you have a little more leeway with the restrictions.” Considering that, Wooten said it’s important for musicians that the rate of COVID’s spread declines before the winter months, when outdoor venues will no longer be an option. He remains optimistic, adding how grateful he’s been for venues’ support and his fans’ support — even some higher-risk fans have found ways to listen to outdoor shows by setting up in nearby parks, away from crowds, he said. Similarly to Wooten, Brophy said she hopes the industry could rebound — she just doesn’t know when. “I think a lot of people will retain that fear, but my hope is that we will return to normal because we have to move forward,” she said. “That our fans are going to get out there and weather the storm, that’s the hope and the dream that most musicians are holding onto.”
Club football fall league proposed BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After the announcement that the Colorado High School Activities Association would not play football this fall, there is a move to initiate a club fall football league for high school players. “We’re trying to figure out how to get people involved and get them to the next level,” said Matt Frederic, a parent of a football player at Heritage High School in Littleton. “People were frustrated when they got the news
(CHSAA announcement) because it has really put a lot of kids in a bad situation.” Several schools have been contacted, including Fairview, Cherry Creek, Arapahoe, Heritage, Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge, Highlands Ranch, Rock Canyon, Valor Christian, Pomona, Columbine, Chatfield and Grandview. “There are a number of teams we have contacted,” said Frederic. “Some were curious and said now is the time. Some backed off. They were more worried about their kids playing football.” Fields, insurance and officials have
been lined up and the teams would follow CHSAA rules for the games. The biggest problem is determining whether schools would allow players to use equipment and helmets. “The problem is can we find enough players and equipment for it to work,” added Frederick. Frederick said the goal would be to have 10 teams, start play in September and “let kids play and let kids that want to play at the next level have more game films.” “It is easier said than done,” he continued. “It comes down to people
talk a good game, then we say: `OK, the time is here, what do we have?’ They wait a little bit and bend a little bit. Most of us that are doing this don’t believe there will be a spring football league. I believe kids have the right to play football, the right to play soccer or whatever sport it is.” So club football still has to be considered a long shot. “Most coaches are for it,” said Frederic. “It all depends on if schools will allow them to use their equipment. Equipment could be a game breaker for sure.”

Design and Build Competition looks for proposals that could take shape BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For many years, the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood has held a Design and Build Competition. At first, it was aimed at younger students in the area, but it has lately been redirected to collegiate level architects and designers. “The spirit of Design and Build has always been to solve problems and create through collaboration,” the museum wrote in its competition brief for 2020. “All proposals must include narrative about how collaboration would be utilized in realizing the design. (i.e. fabricators, engineers and architects must work together to realize any design.)” First, second and third prizes are awarded ($5000, $2,500, $1000). “Someday, I hope we can build one of these,” project director Tim Vacca said of the Design and Build projects.

Fred’s business model proved to be profitable as Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop turned 62 this year after opening its doors in 1958. But after decades of selling large sizes of name-brand men’s clothing, Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop will close by the end of October. Sam Kaufman said he wanted to honor Fred by being open for at least 60 years. He added that he wanted to go out on top and said that Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop’s closure is not related to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Guys and their families have been coming in here for generations. You see a guy bring his son in and introduce him to the store, and as I got into the business, I got to work with them and their kids,” said Kaufman, who has been running the store for the past 40 years. “It was more than just a spot to buy clothes. We have always operated on the foundation of treating everybody the way we wanted to be treated. Although we had many famous personalities come through the doors, I’ve valued the relationship with each and every customer, regardless of whether they bought a pair of jeans or a whole wardrobe.”
August 20, 2020A Fred sat on an advisory board that helped start the former American Basketball Association and the Denver Rockets franchise, which became the Denver Nuggets. After Rockets games, Kaufman said Fred would take players to Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop and open it after hours so they could shop. One of those players with whom the Kaufman family formed a relationship was Dave Robisch, a former Rockets and Nuggets player who is 6 feet 10 inches tall. Robisch was introduced to Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop when he was a rookie in 1971. He said back in the early 1970s, it was a challenge for large men to find clothing because department stores didn’t carry tall and big sizes. “It was a shining light to meet Fred. Back in the ‘70s, the styles were different, but Fred had the styles that were in back then and had a lot of choices,” said Robisch, who played for Denver from 1971 to 1975 and from 1980 to 1984. “It was a family business. They knew the business really well and provided great customer service,” he added. “They were able to build their business, and it became bigger and more successful. They stayed up with the quality of their goods, and they knew all the main labels of what to buy.” Whenever football teams visited Denver to play the Denver Broncos, Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop would write a letter to the visiting teams inviting them to the store and would arrange transportation for players. Among the NFL teams who shopped at Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop were the Seattle Seahawks, Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans and New York Giants. Kaufman credited the store’s longevity to selling specialized products, being a family business and always

trying to do the right thing. “We treated everybody like they were us. I didn’t want to just offer my customers body covering,” said Kaufman. “I wanted to offer them good stuff and the same kind of things you’d see in (regular size clothing).” Kaufman said it’s bittersweet to close, and he has moments of sadness that mainly stem from the good memories he’s had at the store. He plans to spend more time with his family, volunteer, fly fish and travel whenever
it is safe to do so. All items at Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop are 50% off until the end of October. “Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop has been around as long as I can remember. My dad would tell me ‘That’s where all the football players shop,’” said Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce Executive Director David Carroll. “It’s hard to see them closing, but they should be proud serving the Front Range for over 62 years!”

I teach courses for government officials and other interested parties in the Govex Academy within Centers for Civic Impact, a training center designed for and dedicated to improving the data skills of the public sector workforce. Most of the classes I teach focus on how local and state governments can more effectively access and utilize data and create programs that use data and performance metrics to drive results.
FROM PAGE 1
Dodd talked to the Englewood Herald about his new job, his passion for local government and more. Here is what he had to say. Why did you want to relocate to Englewood and take this job? My interest in moving to Colorado started 10 years ago when I first visited the state. The high quality of life, as well as personal interests such as skiing and hiking, are the main reasons why I enjoyed visiting and why I became interested in moving here. While looking at professional growth opportunities, I looked primarily in Colorado and was incredibly excited to find an opening for the newly created position of assistant to the city manager in Englewood. The position allows me to continue to use my expertise in strategic planning and project management while also playing a role in providing assistance to all departments in delivering core services to the Englewood community. I appreciate the city’s location, its interesting history, and unique assets such as Pirates Cove Water Park. Describe what your role will be in the Tri-Cities Homelessness Policy Team. While working as the chief performance officer for the city of Santa Monica, California, I played a role in developing the city’s Homelessness Plan of Action and creating a process to monitor our work in alleviating the challenges caused by homelessness. In Englewood, I will help to coordinate our efforts, participate on the Tri-Cities Homelessness Policy Team
Tim Dodd is Englewood’s new assistant to the city manager. He previously worked as chief performance officer for Santa Monica, California, and performance manager for the city of Baltimore. COURTESY OF CITY OF ENGLEWOOD meetings and work with city departments on this issue. Working as a team, we hope to better understand the root causes of homeless individuals in our community and to work on mitigating the effects of homelessness. How do you see yourself being able to benefit a community like Englewood? The role of the assistant to the city manager is to facilitate organizationwide projects, oversee initiatives such as strategic planning and customer
experience and to support the great work of the city’s departments. I hope to use my 14 years of experience in local and state government, as well as my extensive experience in strategic planning, to help to operationalize the city’s strategic plan, achieve the goals set forth in the plan and communicate our successes to the community. Setting and achieving goals through the recently approved strategic plan will ensure our organization is aligned in delivering key outcomes for our residents in areas such as infrastructure,
What do you enjoy about working in local government? Local government has been my passion as long as I can remember. My mother is a public school teacher, my father was a member of my town’s Board of Selectmen (similar to a board of trustees) when I was born, and all four of my grandparents either worked for or volunteered for their community. Growing up in an environment focused on public service, I moved to Washington, D.C. for undergraduate studies at American University, hoping to learn as much as I could about government in our nation’s capital. While many of my friends stayed in Washington, D.C. and worked in the federal government, I decided to work at the local level because of my passionate belief in the positive role that government can play in the lives of its residents. Local government is the governmental entity with the closest connection to the people given the role that it plays in the everyday lives of residents. This interview was edited for clarity.

Reporter Joseph Rios found that his recovery from COVID-19 took time. PHOTO BY JOSEPH RIOS
COVID-19 FROM PAGE 1
Watching the “new normal” Rockies game with all of its changes and precautions to protect people from the virus drove home the fact that I was sick with a deadly virus that has been the cause of at least 167,000 deaths in America. It made it more real than my July 25 positive COVID-19 test, it made me fearful, and it made my anxiety about my illness worse. There is a big difference between having COVID-19 and reading or hearing about it. I had spent every week since the pandemic started writing about the virus, and even interviewed people who were sick with it — but I still didn’t realize how mentally challenging it would be to have COVID-19. You start to wonder if your symptoms will ever go away. I worried most about all of the people who I had come into contact with before I tested positive. I thought about my coworkers and tried to remember everything I could’ve touched in my office to warn them. I thought about my 65-year-old father who is high risk and who I had seen only a few days before I had symptoms. It’s hard having thoughts rush through your mind about the idea that you could have infected someone with a deadly virus that we don’t have a cure for. If I had gotten my father or any of my family or friends sick,
and something bad happened to them, I don’t know how I could have lived with myself. I don’t want you to have those thoughts. I don’t want you to have to worry about getting your friends or family sick. Most importantly, I don’t want you to get COVID-19. It is scary when you’re lying in bed with the virus, and you can feel yourself having trouble breathing. It’s scary when you can barely walk because you’re so sick, and it’s scary not knowing what kind of impact COVID-19 will have on your long-term health. It took me 16 days to fully feel like I had recovered from the virus. I can’t move around as fast I used to, and I feel out of shape after being sick for so long, but I’m thankful I can carry on with my life and that I didn’t get anybody sick that I know of. I had thought I was doing everything right to prevent myself from getting sick. I religiously sanitized my hands whenever I had a chance. I wore a mask everywhere I went, I stopped visiting and going out with friends — but I still got it. I think that shows how easily anyone can get it and is why it’s important to take all the precautions you can, because even when you do take those precautions, you can still easily get the virus. Joseph Rios is a reporter for Colorado Community Media, covering Englewood and Jefferson County.

Coronavirus changes world of sports recruiting Adjustments needed because of shifting schedules for high school sports
ThunderRidge football coach Doug Nisenson says the NCAA needs to alter the national signing dates after Colorado’s high school football season was moved to spring.
BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Coronavirus has impacted Colorado sports — high school, college and professional — and the future is also uncertain. Recruiting of high school athletes has to be adjusted since the Colorado High School Activities Association divided its sports into four seven-week seasons, with traditional fall sports of football, boys soccer, gymnastics and field hockey being moved to spring. College coaches are challenged and have had to go online to virtual visit with potential. High school athletes have to be diligent about sending films to colleges. Boys golf, boys tennis, softball and cross country are currently being played in what is called Season A in the latest CHSAA release. Season B will run from early January to March and includes basketball, girls swimming, spirit and wrestling. Season C will be contested between March 1 and May with boys soccer, unified bowling, girls volleyball, football, baseball, girls golf, girls soccer and boys and girls lacrosse being played.

Baseball, girls golf, lacrosse, girls soccer and track and field will be held in Season D from late April to late June. Doug Nisenson, football coach at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch, says the NCAA needs to alter the national signing dates after the football season was moved. The early signing date for Division I football is currently on Dec. 16, 2020 with the regular signing period on Feb. 2, 2021. Division I men’s basketball signing period ends May 19, 2010 and all other sports on Aug. 1, 2021.
“Right now our coaches are waiting to hear what the NCAA changes are going to be,” said Nisenson. “If the NCAA doesn’t move signing day we’re going to play our season after signing day. “It is obviously going to impact recruiting from the standpoint if colleges are potentially interested in a kid and we want to see his senior films, unless they are interested enough that we aren’t going to get senior film and offer him then there’s the high probability they are going to miss out on that.”
The recruiting impact will be felt more by the mid-level players rather that the highly regarded prospects. “Obviously if you are kid that is hoping to get a little scholarship money to go to a smaller school and play DII football or get an academic scholarship and play DIII football, if you didn’t have tape as a junior that’s going to be really difficult unless the signing date is moved and coaches are given that time to evaluate, watch tape, go to games and do all the things that they would normally do,” said Nisenson. Doug Schafer, girls volleyball coach at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, said colleges and players have to make adjustments without camps hosted by colleges and national tournaments which attract many recruiters. “The colleges have to make adjustments by having to rely more on tape,” he said. “The players have to adjust by being more specific with their tape and having it be a little more important and also do the best they can to be seen in the spring when there are going to be some national tournaments.” Arapahoe boys and girls soccer coach Mark Hampshire termed the whole situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic as “frustrating, disappointing and sad.” “Not being able to play high school sports in a timely matter will have an impact,” he continued.
Tennis match was learning opportunity Mullen defeats Arapahoe, but Warriors still welcome chance to play BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe High School’s boys tennis team learned a lot in its first match of the season, which was held Aug. 15 at Mullen High School in Denver. The Warriors lost 5-1 to Mullen, a team with six returning players from its 2019 team that was a Class 4A state runner-up. “It was a learning experience to
play a team like Mullen,” said Arapahoe coach Peter Weyhrich. “Mullen is a tough team. It was good to be out and fun to have the team back again. “We’ve got a lot on new guys on the team and this was our first match. We have a lot to work on, that’s for sure. I was happy with the way our doubles teams competed. That was a positive.” Arapahoe’s No. 3 doubles team of Jack Terwilliger and Matthew Maloney notched the only win for the Warriors with a 6-7, 7-6, 6-4 victory. Mullen dominated the other matches. The most competitive singles match was at No. 3 singles, where the Arapahoe Warriors’ Tyler Rock dropped a
6-7, 4-6 decision to the Mullen Mustangs’ Dante Dinovs. “I thought I played pretty well but I have a lot of things to work on,” said Rock. “I have to work on my forehand. Our team is focusing on improving this season.” Max Garside, Arapahoe’s No. 1 singles players, got off to a slow start and never recovered as Mullen’s Luc Caldwell recorded a 6-1, 6-0 victory. “It was awesome and good to be able to play with the virus spreading,” said Garside. “I’m just happy we have a season. “I felt I played OK. I won a lot of points but I couldn’t finish off the games. I love playing tough matches. It is so much better for improvement.”
