the hungry,” he said of nonprofits. “They’re the glue that helps hold the community together. I’m glad we can help them out.” The grants, funded with federal CARES Act money, were initially supposed to dry up at the end of 2020, but new guidance from the Treasury Department allowed them to continue into the new year, Hollingsworth said. Including a prior round of nonprofit grants last spring, Hollingsworth said the city had given out 17 grants to 12 different groups as of Jan 8.
As Colorado continued the early stages of its COVID-19 vaccine rollout, Gov. Jared Polis announced that people 70 and older would soon be eligible for vaccination in certain areas. The No. 1 question during a Tri-County Health Department town hall roughly a week later: How will those 70-plus-year-olds actually get it? Douglas “We understand that it’s frustrating that ‘eligible’ has not yet equaled ‘access,’” Kaitlin Wolff, Tri-County Health’s vaccine coordinator, told callers during an online and telephone town hall event Jan. 7, where local officials took questions from callers. As of that night, it appeared that residents age 70 and older in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — and possibly nearby areas — didn’t all have an immediate avenue to vaccination as shipments of COVID-19 vaccines from the federal government remained small, Wolff said. “Our clinics are unable to provide vaccines to community members who are 70 or older right now,” said the website for Tri-County Health,

City OKs another round of nonprofit relief grants Local groups can qualify for up to $4,000, with Jan. 15 application deadline BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Englewood officials have greenlighted another round of COVID relief grants to local nonprofit groups, and those receiving the funds say they are a big help. Qualifying nonprofits have until Jan. 15 to apply for grants of up to $4,000 that can be used for a wide
range of purposes, said Darren Hollingsworth, the city’s economic development manager. He said supporting nonprofits is important in a time of disruption to their typical fundraising networks. “Nonprofits are feeling the pinch just as bad as for-profit enterprises,” he said. “Whether they’re membership-based or tend to get revenues from events and activities, there’s a lot of pain out there.” Nonprofits backfill many roles a city might wish it could fulfill but aren’t in its mandate, he said. “We’re talking everything from the arts and humanities to feeding

Coloradans in Congress recall harrowing riot Bronze Star medalist Crow prepared to fight if necessary
broken through into the Capitol and cut off the route out,” Crow said. Officers created barricades
BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado’s U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse had just finished speaking on the House floor on Jan. 6 in defense of President-elect Joe Biden’s November victory when the Democrat from Lafayette noticed something was wrong. Speaker Nancy Neguse Pelosi was escorted from the chamber. Then House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who was sitting behind Neguse, was removed from the House by U.S. Capitol Police. “It signaled to Crow everybody that something was amiss,” Neguse said. Neguse was ignoring his cellphone to focus on his important role as one of a handful of Democrats assigned to push back against Buck Republican efforts to overturn the presidential election results. He had no idea that a destructive mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters had breached the U.S. Capitol building. They were steps away. “I texted my wife and told her that I loved her — that I love Natalie very much,” Neguse said, referring to his 2-year-old daughter. Rioters were banging on the doors to the House. It sounded like gunshots. Lawmakers were instructed by police to stay calm and prepare to evacuate. They were told to put on gas masks. Four members of Colorado’s congressional delegation were in the U.S. House chambers during the deadly riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6. All four escaped unharmed.
This photo posted on Twitter by U.S. Rep. Jason Crow shows Capitol police preparing to defend the House Chamber from protesters on Jan. 6. “This is what it has come to,” Crow wrote in his Twitter post.
Neguse and U.S. Reps. Jason Crow, D-Aurora, and Ken Buck, R-Windsor, recounted a harrowing ordeal to The Colorado Sun, denouncing the actions of the rioters and vowing to get back to work as quickly as possible. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Rifle, who was sworn in on Sunday, was the fourth member in the chamber. Lawmakers were summoned back to the House that night to continue the debate. Crow was keeping tabs on the proceedings from the gallery above the House floor. He was there just to watch, sitting with 15-20 other Democratic members of Congress and preparing to speak later in the day. Crow was watching the scene outside the Capitol unfold on his phone and knew that rioters were getting closer and closer to the House chambers. He, too, saw Pelosi get whisked away along with Vice President Mike Pence. Police then began evacuating members
from the House floor. “By the time they got the members off the floor, the mob had
Capitol Police then began locking all of the doors into the House. Officers moved furniture from the chamber floor to barricade the doors and windows. But the rioters were determined as they yelled and pounded on the entrances. They were undeterred despite being at gunpoint. “We were getting ready to make a stand,” said Crow, a former Army Ranger who received a Bronze Star. “I thought for a couple minutes there that I was going to have to fight my way out.” Crow began running from door to door in the gallery, making sure that each one was locked. There was nothing available to use as barricades because seats in the gallery are bolted down. He ushered older lawmakers away from the doors. He instructed his fellow congressmen and congresswomen to remove the lapel pins marking their status as lawmakers so that they wouldn’t become targets. He helped them put on their gas masks.

State Rep. Champion recounts ‘extremely polite’ D.C. protests Outgoing lawmaker was in Washington to show his objection to the electoral system
Offices closed All County offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 18, 2021 in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. arapahoegov.com/calendar
BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After mobs of President Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, forcing the evacuation of both houses of Congress, outgoing Colorado state Rep. Richard Champion, R-Columbine Valley, who attended the protest but remained outside the Capitol, called the event “extremely polite.” Champion — who until Jan. 13 repreChampion sented Littleton, Columbine Valley, part of Centennial and nearby areas in the state House — said he flew to Washington, D.C., with his wife, Trish, to attend the “Stop The Steal” protest to object to what he called a “broken judicial and electoral system.” Champion called the event that culminated in the storming of the House and Senate chambers “very peaceful.” “It was very well organized and without mayhem or anything else,” Champion said by phone from a hotel room near the Capitol in the evening hours after the riot. “Apparently a couple young folks got into the Capitol, which we never saw.” Both houses of Congress were evacuated in the middle of deliberations over the certification of the Electoral College vote that found Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election. Photos from U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, D-Aurora, show Capitol police with their guns drawn as the mob breached the chamber. Champion said he didn’t know the identity of those who stormed the Capitol. “I have no idea who they were supporting,” Champion said. “My understanding is one of them had a hammer and sickle tattoo.” Photos show many members of the crowd wearing “Make America Great Again” hats and waving Trump flags. In a followup email, Champion’s wife blamed the storming of the Capitol on “Antifa,” citing a YouTube video purporting to show leftist antagonists among the mob. Champion called the evacuation of Capitol overblown. “I don’t think anyone was in danger,” he said. “There was nothing I saw that warranted that kind of response.” Inside the Capitol, one woman protester was shot while climbing through a broken window during the storming of the building and later died, according to news reports. Three others taking part in the protestdied during the siege: one man of a heart attack, another of a

stroke, and a woman was apparently crushed by the crowd. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was allegedly beaten with a fire extinguisher before dying later in a hospital. No arrests had been made in Sicknick’s death as of Jan. 9. Champion said he and his wife were at the protest for roughly four hours, and spent time on both the east and west sides of the Capitol. “We saw a lot of praying, a lot of chanting, the singing of ‘The StarSpangled Banner’ and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance,” Champion said. “The people have the right to protest. Capitol police were very competent. People were thanking them for being there.” Asked if he supports President Trump’s call from July that protesters who damage federal property should face 10 years in prison, Champion said, “Absolutely.” Champion said the real outrage was that he saw only two portable toilets provided for the protest despite the throngs of protesters, blaming the number on Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser. “It was flat-out wrong,” Champion said of the number of portable toilets. “The mayor, that’s what they do. That’s how they try to show us what they think of us.” Champion said the event paled in comparison to protests in Denver over the summer that left the Colorado State Capitol vandalized. “This is nothing like what they did in Denver ... They were completely rude, and they destroyed property,” Champion said. “This group today, if they saw trash on the ground, they’d pick it up.” Champion said he believed the November presidential election was “not fair” and questioned the results. “I don’t think it was fair or reasonable or right,” he said. Trump and his supporters have lost more than 60 lawsuits against elements of the presidential election in numerous swing states, in courts ranging from state and appellate courts to the Supreme Court. “I’m just talking about the presidential election,” Champion said.

VACCINES
FOR HELP WITH FINDING VACCINE ACCESS
FROM PAGE 1
which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The governor announced that, starting Dec. 30, people 70 and older are eligible for the vaccine. But whether they can access it depends on vaccine availability. Some hospitals and other health care providers in the Tri-County jurisdiction have begun “phase 1B vaccinations” — a stage that includes people 70 and older but also some health care workers, first responders and “essential” workers — but not every provider has moved into that phase, according to Tri-County’s website. “Since limited amounts of the vaccine come in weekly, and even smaller amounts are distributed throughout the state, not every provider has all the vaccine needed to vaccinate everyone 70 and older,” the website said as of Jan. 7. The earlier phase 1A started in mid-December and includes the highest-risk health care workers, and staff and residents at longterm care facilities — places such as nursing homes and other care locations. Once areas have taken care of those with higher priority, they can move on to Coloradans 70 and older. Those people should expect that “more and more places will start offering” the vaccine, Wolff said. Hospitals and federally qualified health centers are among the places where those Coloradans could receive the vaccine, she added.

“We expect all our hospital partners in our three counties and the metro area — or most of them — should be opening clinics for 70plus” residents, Wolff said, adding that scheduling will likely look different in different places. “But the role of state health department and Tri-County will be to (show) that information.” That information was to appear on both the state and Tri-County’s websites, and staff were pulling that information together “right now,”
Wolff continued. A caller who identified herself as a 91-year-old mother asked if the public needs to register online, noting that she and other seniors may have trouble signing up on the internet. Many health care systems, such as Centura Health and UCHealth, have information displayed on the state’s COVID-19 website, noted John Douglas, head of Tri-County. Systems for scheduling appointments may require computer access, Douglas noted. “For our seniors who aren’t so computer (savvy), we’re working with the state health department on how we reach out to those people,” Douglas said. He added: “We want to make sure they don’t get left out.” Who’s up next?

In early December, the state listed that the highest-risk health care workers and individuals, and then moderate-risk health care workers and first responders — phases 1A and 1B — were to have access to the vaccine this winter, according to Colorado’s COVID-19 website. Up next in phase 2 were other high-risk individuals and essential workers in spring, and then would come the general public — anyone age 18-64 without high-risk health conditions — in the summer. That’s phase 3. Colorado’s recent update to the timeline expanded the list of those eligible in phase 1B, adding people 70 and older and certain frontline “essential” workers. Those now include health care workers with less direct contact with COVID-19 patients, first responders and correctional employees along with workers in education, food and agriculture, manufacturing, public transit, grocery stores, direct care providers for Coloradans experiencing homelessness and other professions. “We utilized our first doses at the end of December for our highestrisk health care workers,” Wolff said. She added: “We are finishing up that group of people and moving on to other health care workers who are less high-risk and other first responders.”
The state’s COVID-19 website lists information to help Coloradans 70 and older access the coronavirus vaccine through different health care providers. It includes the UCHealth, Denver Health, Centura Health, Banner Health, Kaiser Permanente, HealthONE and SCL Health systems, among others. For more information, see the website at covid19.colorado.gov/for-coloradans/ vaccine/vaccine-for-coloradans. Local updates on vaccine availability in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties are also available at Tri-County Health Department’s website at tchd.org/866/ COVID-19-Vaccines. By phone, for more information on the vaccine, Coloradans can contact the Colorado Health Emergency Line for the Public, or “COHELP,” at 303-389-1687 or 877-462-2911. Hours are 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Answers are available in multiple languages. Amid calls from school district leaders to prioritize school staff for vaccinations, the state’s move of teachers and others who work in education to phase 1B came as welcome news in that industry. But several weeks may still pass before the vaccine generally reaches school staff. Taken together, all the timeline changes may place education workers in line for late winter or spring — a spot that likely comes too late to affect in-person learning for the spring semester. “I’m hearing we’re not going to have our vaccine until after everyone 70-plus, so that’s looking like March,” a teacher said during the telephone town hall. Wolff thinks March is a good estimate for when teachers will have access. “It’s hard for everyone to feel like they’re not first, but that’s the order Colorado has established for the moment,” said Wolff, who noted that the order is based on “a lot of ethical and medical considerations.” Lower-risk health care workers
A group that does have a clear path to the vaccine currently is health care workers who have less direct risk of contracting COVID-19. Questions from a caller who owns a clinic for chiropractic care and massage therapy, and from a caller who works at a dental office, sought to determine how employees in those kinds of settings could access the vaccine. For such medical providers who have not been connected to a source for vaccination, Tri-County Health is “actively taking requests,” Wolff said. She advised such medical workers to determine a contact at their companies who can call Tri-County and provide information on which employees should get vaccinated. Tri-County is working to match medical providers to people who will administer the vaccine for their workers, Wolff said. The department plans to follow up within weeks, she added. She and Douglas emphasized the haphazard nature of rolling out a vaccine quickly amid a pandemic. “The analogy of the year, as Dr. Douglas says, is we are constantly building an airplane as we’re flying it,” Wolff said.

LPS opens search for new board member With Carrie Warren-Gully leaving for county post, officials say replacement should rise above politics BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As Carrie Warren-Gully leaves the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education for her new role as a county commissioner, district officials say her replacement should be someone who is ready to leave political agendas at the door and tackle the tough issues facing schools. Warren-Gully Warren-Gully is scheduled to be sworn in as an Arapahoe County commissioner on Jan. 11. She tendered her resignation from the LPS school board in December, leaving a vacancy on the

five-member board. The board officially announced the beginning of its search for her replacement in a special meeting on Jan. 6. Applicants must have been a registered voter within the district boundaries for at least the last 12 months. Applications, which are available at LittletonPublicSchools.net, are due by Feb. 5. The board plans to interview candidates at its Feb. 11 meeting, and make a decision at its Feb. 25 meeting. By law, the new board member must be sworn in no later than March 7. The new board member won’t have long to settle in before they have to make the decision whether to run in the November election to keep the seat. Superintendent Brian Ewert said Warren-Gully will leave big shoes to fill. “She’s been in the district so long as a parent and advocate,” Ewert said. “We’re so thankful we’ve had such a solid, graceful, communicative board member. She took a
common-sense approach to governing, and always made sure to listen to all sides of issues.” Ewert said he thinks her replacement should be someone invested in the district, and not beholden to an ideology. “You’ve got to be an advocate for students, but teachers and staff too,” he said. “These are nonpartisan positions. It’s not about being a Democrat or Republican, but taking a look at each issue that comes forward, analyzing it, being humble enough to get good input, and remembering that we’re here for the kids.” The new board member should appreciate the complexity of a school district, he said. “These are incredibly complex systems and budgets we’re dealing with,” Ewert said. “We’re responsible for taxpayer dollars from the local, state and federal level. It would help if it’s someone involved through groups like (parent-teacher organizations) or district committees.” The new board member will
have weighty issues to deal with: how the district recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and how to deal with the impacts of declining student enrollment — which could mean school consolidation or staff layoffs. School board President Jack Reutzel echoed Ewert, saying boards that get bogged down by political agendas don’t get much done. “You need a broader perspective than that,” Reutzel said. “A school board just deals with too many things to have someone waving one flag or another all the time. Personal issues, too — you need to leave what’s happening with your child or your home school at the door.” Reutzel, like Ewert, said WarrenGully’s replacement will have to hit the ground running, and should be someone who is already familiar with the intricacies of issues like school finance. “It’s not always an easy job,” Reutzel said, “but we’ve got smart people in our community, and I’m expecting a great group of candidates.”
by a GOP vacancy committee to the House District 38 seat in January 2020, lost his bid for election to a full term to Democrat David Ortiz in November. Ortiz was sworn in Jan. 13. Champion said when Joe Biden is sworn in as president, “he will be my president. It’s the same way I
felt about Barack Obama. Too bad it wasn’t the same way for Democrats when Donald Trump was elected. People want Republicans to be magnanimous about Biden, but they sure weren’t when Trump won.” Champion said he paid for every element of his trip to Washington, from the plane tickets to the hotel
room and transportation. “No one, I repeat, no one, including the Republican Party, aided my trip to Washington in any way, shape or form,” he said. Champion said he planned to fly home the next day, and had not encountered anyone else from Colorado while in Washington.

Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You? by Sam Stroup
N
ow that you are retired, are you finding yourself struggling to make ends meet on a fixed-income? Did you know a reverse mortgage might be the solution you need to get to financial stress lifted and allow yourself the breathing room you deserve? With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can eliminate your monthly mortgage payment.* Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, the money you receive is tax-free and can be used for any purpose you choose. Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. With a reverse mortgage, you can access a portion of the equity in your home while you continue to own and live in your
home so you can get cash and make life a little easier. To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not. We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible! Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

VOICES
Apparently this road was paved with good intentions
arry and I went for a Sunday drive. Only I made a big mistake. I forgot to put the “Sunday Drive” sign in the window that lets everyone know we’re on the road for leisure, not for QUIET the rat race. DESPERATION I apologized to the dog and told him to fasten his seat belt. Sure enough, before I could get to the corner we were followed too closely by someone who was in a Craig Marshall hurry. Smith Undoubtedly in a hurry to get somewhere and start tweeting and texting. The Bangles and I used to look forward to Sundays. The Bangles, an all-woman group, considered Sunday their “fun day.” (“Manic Monday” was written by Prince. Prince had a crush
on Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs. Who didn’t? However, the song was originally intended for another group. For some reason, “Manic Monday” was credited to Prince’s pseudonym: “Christopher.”) Sundays will never be the same. Not the way they were. At least not here in the city. Maybe on the eastern plains, Sundays are slower than the rest of the week. Not around here. I drive the limit, maybe five over. It’s not enough. I’m holding everyone up. “Get out of the way, you plodder, you slowcoach, you malingerer. Your mother was a hamster.” Maybe I don’t have the right kind of vehicle. All I have now is this station wagon. No one respects station wagons. Station wagons plod because they’re family cars and dad doesn’t want to endanger his wife and kids. Except I don’t have a wife and kids; I have large paintings that need to be moved from place to
place. But the perception is the same: You can and should tailgate a station wagon. What I’d like to have is an Aston-Martin DB5 that spews oil and carpet tacks. Harry and I were tailgated five times between home and Elizabeth where I thought we’d be rid of the problem. Surely in Elizabeth on a Sunday the roads are benign. I was wrong. A red pickup honked at us. “Move it on over, you bootless fustilarian.” Steven Spielberg’s first film was a dandy titled “Duel.” It starred Dennis Weaver as a businessman who is driving his Plymouth Valiant in Southern California on the way to see a client. Weaver’s antagonist is the unseen driver of an old Peterbilt 281 that chases him up and down the remote highway. There’s very little dialogue and none between Weaver and his adversary. Weaver looks like he’s done for
but (spoiler alert) manages to outsmart the trucker. The beautifully choreographed final scene, when the truck in flames goes off a cliff, features the exasperated groans not of the truck driver but of the truck. I’m not an advocate of road rage. It’s tempting, but you never know who is in the car behind you. It might be Satan and Satan might be having a particularly bad day. As cars pass us, the drivers usually look at me with disdain and generally with sneers. When I was a kid, the Smiths often went for a Sunday afternoon drive. We were a one-car family and it — most often a Ford — was used primarily for commuting and errands, but not for leisure. Perhaps the answer is to take an afternoon drive in the middle of the night.

o you remember that old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover?” Well, if you are like me, and if you don’t mind admitting just how many times that you made the big mistake of rushing to judgment WINNING too soon, we can WORDS probably agree that we may have made some poor decisions along the way because we judged someone or something prematurely. We form opinions based on the way someone Michael Norton looks, the car they drive, the career they have chosen, the house of worship they attend, the friends they keep, and the posts they place on social media. We judge others who drive too fast or too slowly, use their blinker to make a turn that is so far away, or they don’t use a blinker at all. Seems like lately, and all too often, we have become the judge and the jury.

My Uncle Harry used to say something to me each time we talked. He would say, “Now Michael, just remember that there is never anything so good that it can’t get better. And there isn’t anything so bad that it can’t get worse.” I must have been a little hard of hearing because as an eternal optimist I only paid attention to the first sentence, “There is never anything so good that it can’t get better.” And I have found that to be one of the character traits of many successful people who have endured hardships, survived bad economies, and found opportunity in the middle of crises. “Did you ever notice that some people go around looking for the bad like there is some kind of reward for it?” - Zig Ziglar If we look for the bad, we will find it for sure. If we look for the good, we will find that as well. And as Andrew Carnegie said, “Sometimes you have to move a ton of dirt to find an ounce of gold.” You see, we are only two weeks into the new year, and many of
us have already judged or decided what the book on 2021 will be about. If we are determined that it will be good or better than good, that is awesome. If some of us have already given up and can’t see anything but trouble ahead, my encouragement would be not to rush to judgment so quickly. What if we look at the upcoming year as a 365-page book with a prologue, 12 chapters, and an epilogue. The prologue might be the year that we just left behind, but it could also be the fantastic years that preceded 2020. And if we jumped ahead and were able to read what happens next in 2022, we might be able to feel like we are on solid footing or at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. As much as the prologue or forward of a book sets the stage and the epilogue lets us know what happens afterward, it’s really the story that compels us to want to read and keep reading. Perhaps we received books as a gift this season, maybe we already had a stack of books waiting to be read.

And I’ll bet that we just can’t wait to get into the stories, characters, adventures, romances, dramas, or comedies of each one. So, let’s not rush to judgment about what may or may not happen this year. Let’s not judge this book by its cover just yet, instead maybe we can get into the story, get into our story, because as it turns out, we will be the main character. How about you? Have you read the inside flap and back cover and determined that you already know how the story will unfold? Or are you willing to be an active participant, determined to enjoy each page and chapter as we go through these next 12 months? I really would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing. com, and when we settle in with our book and our own story of life, it really will be a better than good year.

reassuring her that they would be OK. “Susan is a friend and she was upset,” Crow said. “And I was upset, too.” A photo captured the moment. Wild was lying on the gallery floor, apparently taking cover behind a railing. She clutched her chest in one hand, her face paralyzed with fear, while Crow grasped the other. Like Neguse, Crow reached out to his wife, Deserai, to tell her he loved her. “Tell the kids I love them, too,” he said.

To qualify, groups must be based in Englewood, must demonstrate COVID-related hardship, and can’t be home-based, religious or political. The list of recipients includes groups like the Museum of Outdoor Arts, Opera Colorado, Pirate Youth Sports, Movement 5280, Project ReCYCLE and Kaizen Food Rescue. City grants have gone a long way toward helping needy people, said Sarah Lesyinski, the executive director of Cafe 180, the pay-whatyou-can restaurant at Broadway and Floyd Avenue. In normal times, the restaurant invites those who can’t pay for their meals to volunteer around the restaurant, by sweeping floors, cleaning windows or picking up trash. But under COVID protocols, that arrangement isn’t possible. “Instead, we ask our clients to pay it forward with an act of kindness in the community,” Lesyinski said. Meanwhile, the restaurant has seen the number of clients who can pay the full cost of their meal
“She knows that I’m somebody that when I’m in a situation like that I like to take action,” he said. “She just reminded me that I have young kids and not to put myself in a dangerous position.” Crow said he was convinced that there was a battle ahead. “I certainly haven’t felt that way since I was in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said. “I never, in a million years, would have thought I would have been experiencing that as a member of Congress in the U.S. Capitol.” Eventually, law enforcement was able to escort the lawmakers to safety. “I’m still working through it, honestly,” Crow said five hours later. “I’m still processing the
decline, while those who can’t pay have skyrocketed — doubling from around 7,000 free meals in a normal year to more than 14,000 in 2020. “When you consider that one of our meals costs $4, that means a $4,000 grant can feed a thousand people,” Lesyinski said. “It’s made this past year doable and kept our costs down.” Grants from the city and other entities have also allowed Cafe 180 to install Plexiglas dividers and other COVID safety measures. Despite a rollback on indoor dining restrictions, Lesyinski said the whiplash of ever-changing state regulations led restaurant leadership to keep indoor dining closed until the COVID situation stabilizes. The downside is a decline in diners who might end up donating to the restaurant. Still, Cafe 180 is forging ahead with new programs, like an updated menu, plans to expand an outdoor patio and a Blue Apron-like meal kit program. “We’ve been worried people think we’re closed,” Lesyinski said. “We’re here and we’re staying. We feel fortunate and grateful. The city has been a big help, and we hope we can be a big help to the city.”

‘Viewing the world in a different lens’
Some people like to use trekking poles when they go snowshoeing. SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
Snowshoeing is inexpensive option for socially distanced outdoor activity BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
W
ith health officials continuing to encourage outdoor activities amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there’s one affordable winter activity that’s getting folks outside, active and socially distanced: snowshoeing. The sport, essentially the winter version of hiking, is a great way to enjoy being outside in the winter without having to empty one’s pockets to buy ski or snowboard gear and pricey lift tickets, said Frank Bulkley, owner of Eskimo Ski Shop in Centennial. “If you want to get outside and get some fresh air, it’s a great way to do it. It doesn’t have to be a 10-mile hike either,” he said. “It’s a simple way to get out there and do something different in the snow.” The only things needed to start snowshoeing are waterproof boots, waterproof layers like a jacket and pants and of course, the snowshoes, which can be rented for under $20 per day. While hiking boots and shoe spikes can perform well when a trail is packed down with snow or a bit icy, snowshoes really thrive in snow about a foot or more deep, Bulkley said. Jake Thomas, manager at Mountainside Gear Rental in Golden, says the best way for beginners to try out snowshoeing is to head to familiar territory. “(Go) somewhere you’ve already been, somewhere you’re comfortable with going that’s not super remote,” he said. “Maybe somewhere you hike in the summer.” It’s also best to go with a buddy and remain within cell service, he said.

“Any precautions you would take while hiking, you should take while on snowshoes,” Bulkley said. That includes carrying a headlight, being ready for weather changes, bringing plenty of water and snacks and knowing how to react if confronted by wildlife. Those snowshoeing off trails or in the backcountry also need to be aware of avalanche precautions. Many hiking websites, such as AllTrails.com, will have comments from recent hikers on snow conditions for specific areas or trails. Thomas likes to recommend Golden Gate State Park, St. Mary’s Glacier

and trails around Nederland to those interested in snowshoeing. How they work
Snowshoeing is largely intuitive. The shoes snap on and off easily and are lightweight enough to carry in a backpack until needed. “They’ve come a long way from the big clunky ones that looked like tennis rackets on your feet,” Thomas said. Snowshoes vary in size based on a person’s weight and the snow conditions. They work by distributing the wearer’s weight across the surface of the snow, preventing the person
from sinking more than a couple inches. “As long as you’re fit and able to push yourself a little and try something new, it’s really for everyone,” Thomas said. “It is a little more physically demanding than hiking.” Thomas likes to bring trekking poles when he goes out. They aren’t essential, but they can help with balance, he said. “In the wintertime, when everything is covered in snow, things are much more serene and quiet. You get to be more in touch with what’s going on around you,” he said. “It’s viewing the world in a different lens. Looking around and seeing untouched snow all around you is a really cool thing.” Crescent Moon Snowshoes, based in Englewood, also makes foam snowshoes, which are perfect for beginners, said Tanner Dunn, vice president of the company. The shoes strap on and connect to the heel of the wearer’s shoes, unlike other snowshoes, Dunn said. “You can give them to anyone, they’re so intuitive and easy to walk in,” he said. Normally, the company offers direct sales and rentals of these shoes, but this year, their inventory has been depleted as a surge of buyers have appeared during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dunn said. “It’s one of the few winter activities besides skiing,” Dunn said. “Snowshoeing is easier to go and grab real quick.” For Dunn, one major benefit of snowshoeing is how easy it is to feel like you’re the only person on a trail. “It’s so quiet. I love hiking, too, but it’s really hard to find a trail that’s not packed — whereas snowshoeing, it’s just dead quiet. It really is different,” he said. “So many people hike but not that many snowshoe.”

Photographer takes wing with new focus Birds are subject of exhibit that will run through March BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLIONGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Photographer Carl Paulson is a Littleton Fine Arts Guild member who recently become a birder, which has led to new subjects for his camera, starting in his back yard and other nearby locations ... He sent us “Whatcha Got There?” — a photo of two young screech owls making noise about something — as an announcement of a Zoom program he was to present on Jan. 5 at Vita Littleton, my home — and I was hooked! I’ve been interested for years, but had forgotten what a wide variety of birds inhabit nearby trees, fields and parks. Colorado has about 400 different kinds of birds through the year, he said, including permanent and mi-
gratory (part-time) residents. (He’s shot images of about 110 so far.) A collection of some of those images filled Paulson’s Zoom program and some are exhibited in the Creative Lounge and Lobby at Vita through March. The public is invited to walk through this exhibit between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday. Ring at the front door. Owls similar to the pictured screech owls have a nest nearby and residents hear them calling. Apartments in the building’s floor plan have bird names, which brought Paulson’s presentation even closer to home. Near to his own home, he watched a woodpecker hollowing out the rotting stump of a newly felled tree, making more space for her brood, and he managed to identify a hummingbird flower favorite. He began to recognize bird calls, starting with “chicka-dee-dee-dee” and put his camera to work. A handsome, though raucous,

At Reynold’s Landing, he recorded a great blue heron which had just speared a rainbow trout for lunch ... And handsome Steller’s jays visited his back yard. “They aren’t supposed to be here.” (We have heard other accounts of migrants who were a bit off-course of late. Probably a common thing, but it seems
the world is off-course ...) A bald eagle was pictured “enjoying the thermals”; a red-tailed hawk carried a rabbit home for offspring, and a red-naped sapsucker at Staunton State Park was enlarging a cavity for its babies. Two black and white downy woodpeckers were “just outside my window,” Paulson said, and a stunning shot shows a golden eagle coming right at the camera, with a crawdad in its beak. Cedar waxwings are a favorite subject, Paulson commented. “I have one snatching a mosquito right out of the air!” A petite white-breasted nuthatch walked down a tree trunk upside down, as is its custom ... And then there was a shot of a beaver swimming along happily, followed by a stunning image of a western tanager ... and a chipping sparrow with fledgling. Seemed like “All’s right with the world” for a too-quickly-passed hour!

Vaccine rule change means teachers must wait Sudden reversal by state officials causes confusion, concern BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT.ORG
Teachers and other school staff must wait for COVID-19 vaccinations until after first responders and people 70 and older are vaccinated, state officials told local public health agencies Jan. 5. The updated direction will halt vaccination of school staff and other essential workers in Colorado after the week that ended Jan. 9, said Karen Miller, the nurse vaccine manager for the Tri-County Health Department, which serves Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas counties. Educators cheered the news the last week of 2020 that Gov. Jared Polis had moved them up in the state’s vaccine priority list, as most districts planned to bring students back to the classrooms this month. But without a clear state plan, different districts have taken different paths — with some staff getting their first shots last week and others unlikely to have a chance until March. That disparity has generated confusion and frustration and raised concerns about how fairly the state and the chosen providers are distributing the vaccine. The suburban Cherry Creek School District started vaccinating school
nurses and health staff on New Year’s Day and laid out a plan to have all 9,000 staff members vaccinated by early February. On social media, teachers in other districts said they had made appointments with private pharmacies using their district ID badges as proof of eligibility. The updated guidance “definitely came as a surprise. Everyone is eager to get vaccine in arms, so we are aware that some school personnel have been vaccinated, but it will stop after this week,” Miller said last week. “They’ve received further direction that the priority is the 70 and older population.” State issues letter on change
By the afternoon of Jan. 5, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment confirmed it had sent a letter to vaccine providers clarifying that they should prioritize first responders and older Coloradans before vaccinating school staff. The letter directs local public health agencies to plan to administer vaccines to teachers and other front-line workers after Feb. 28. “It’s not anybody’s fault that this happened,” Miller said. “There wasn’t clear guidance. There was some confusion.” A Cherry Creek spokesperson said the district is following the state’s earlier vaccine priority plan and will continue as scheduled. “This week, we are working on vaccinating school psychologists, social workers, and special educa-
tion paras and will be moving on to educators next,” spokesperson Abbe Phillips wrote in an email last week. But Centura Health, which partnered with Cherry Creek and other school districts, must follow the state’s new guidance. Dr. Shauna Gulley, Centura Health senior vice president and chief clinical officer, said that as guidance has “evolved,” Centura will follow it and vaccinate only groups that the state identifies. Some school staff will still qualify. In school districts, for now the priority may be health-care workers, physical therapists, and COVID screeners, Gulley said. Colorado has created three priority levels for administering vaccines, with two groups, 1A and 1B, within the first. Phase 1B, which includes teachers, also includes health-care workers who don’t work directly with COVID patients, first responders, people 70 and older, and some essential workers. State officials estimate that more than 1 million people fall into this category. The state further split the categories in Phase 1B by a dotted line, rather than by creating another group. Colorado is asking providers to vaccinate those groups listed above the dotted line first. School staff and other essential workers fall below the dotted line. Vaccine supply could play role
Asked about a timeline for educators, the governor’s office originally
said teachers could expect to be vaccinated in February or March. The updated guidance on Jan. 5 reiterates that providers should plan to give teachers their first shots at the end of February, depending on the supply of vaccine from the federal government. “Our top priorities are saving the most lives and ending the crisis brought on by the pandemic as soon as possible,” Conor Cahill, a spokesman for Polis, wrote in an email. “Right now Colorado is laser-focused on completing phase 1A and moving quickly on to vaccinate Coloradans who are over 70, which make up 78% of the deaths in the state, and expects to move to educators and other frontline essential workers in March.” The announcement that Cherry Creek already was vaccinating school staff led some parents and teachers to ask why Denver Public Schools wasn’t doing the same. Tay Anderson, who serves on the Denver school board, said it’s upsetting that staff in a wealthier, smaller school district were being vaccinated before teachers in Denver. Nearly a third of Cherry Creek’s 54,000 students qualify for subsidized school meals, an indicator of family income, compared with nearly two-thirds of Denver Public Schools’ 92,000 students. “DPS is not trying to have people risk their lives or feel like they’re unsafe to come to work,” he said.

“We’re trying our hardest to get folks vaccinated.” He said districts shouldn’t have to compete for access to the vaccine. Denver Public Schools officials said they’re working with local public health officials on a vaccination plan and will have more information soon. On social media, teachers from across the state reported scheduling appointments to get the vaccine at private pharmacies using their district ID badges. But corporate spokespeople for several pharmacies in Colorado, including Safeway, CVS, and Walgreens, said they are focused on vaccinating people who have higher priority on the state’s new list. “We look forward to eventually moving into other phases with the state as more populations become eligible for vaccination,” CVS spokesperson Monica Prinzing said. A Cherry Creek spokesperson said some suburban districts had joined in a partnership with Centura to more quickly vaccinate school staff. A spokesman for the Sheridan district confirmed that as part of that partnership letters had gone out from Centura inviting school nurses and other staff to make vaccine appointments, with workers who could be classified as first responders ahead of classroom teachers. Amie Baca-Oehlert, president of the Colorado Education Association, the union that represents many teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers and other school staff, said the lack of a clear plan has caused confusion. “When educators found out, they welcomed that news, and they started calling their districts, their health care-providers, and even us, saying, `When can we come in and get the shot?’” she said. “It’s become clear that this is going to be district by district, working with local public health, and it does look like it is going to be late February or early March before most educators get the first shot. “There are questions about equity and just the process of how this gets rolled out,” she added. “There are questions about how some districts
Call for clear direction
Bret Miles, head of the Colorado Association of School Executives, which represents superintendents, said district leaders need clear direction from the state on how they’re supposed to set up vaccination efforts, including in rural areas where there are few health-care providers or pharmacies. “I wouldn’t fault any district leader that does anything to help and advocate for their employees, but we should have a statewide system where we all know where we fit,” he said. Many district leaders had hoped the vaccination of teachers and other school staff will provide peace of mind to people working in classrooms and will reduce the disruptions caused by frequent quarantines. However, Polis has said repeatedly that the reopening of school buildings should not depend on teachers being vaccinated. District plans mostly call for a phased return to the classroom this month, while widespread vaccination of school staff would take much longer than that. “I’m not sure that vaccination really was the solution for this school year, for a meaningful second semester,” Miles said. “We’re still facing the same challenges as the fall.” But having educators higher in the priority list will still matter for running summer school programs and making sure all school staff have been vaccinated before fall 2021, he said. For now, state officials control the distribution of vaccines, Miller said. Local public health authorities helped to identify which providers such as hospitals and pharmacies could administer shots to large numbers of people, but state officials are the ones who decide how much goes to each site.
