Golden Museum gets a sweet treat Son of Jolly Rancher founders donates trove of company artifacts

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Aside from cold cans of Coors and scores of brainy School of Mines grads, there is perhaps no Golden export more famous — or beloved — than the Jolly Rancher.

Local couple Dorothy and Bill Harmsen opened their first Jolly Rancher Ice Cream store on Washington Avenue in 1949 and began selling early versions of their now-iconic confection out of it soon after.

The store closed in 1951, but the brand’s local ties continued as production of the candies was moved to a factory in Wheat Ridge where it continued until new owner The Hershey Company moved production to Mexico in 2002.

But even as Jolly Rancher is regarded as a sweet piece of Golden’s past, the company’s history has been neither widely known nor easy to learn much about. Until now.

The Jeffco Republican Party has submitted information to the county’s district attorney it says suggests 3,000 voters may not have been eligible to vote in Jeffco when they cast their ballots in the November election.

Jeffco GOP Chair Denise Mund said the party hired a firm that checked voter data against the United States Postal Services National Change of Address database, obituaries and other public sources of information to try to determine whether voters who cast ballots were actually eligible to do so in Jeffco. According to the county website, 381,840 ballots were returned in the November election. There are 422,719 active registered voters in Jeffco.

Mund said about 2,500 of those ballots were identified by the firm as being cast by voters who had filed a change of address.

“There could be a variety of reasons for that that are totally legitimate,” said Mund. “But that’s quite a high number.”

The firm also found voters with two voter ID numbers and what the party says is evidence of ballots cast by voters who may be dead as well as evidence of votes cast from a correctional facility. The county also used volunteers to conduct research into voters and their eligibility, Mund said.

Not all was doom and gloom in 2020 Readers share stories of triumph in a year destined to be remembered for tragedy

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lost in wall-to-wall negativity about a year that, frankly many would rather forget, stories of lifeaffirming good news about 2020 have been hard to come by. But if you look closely, you’ll find them.

Two COVID-19 vaccinations were rolled-out in December, 10 months after the search for one began. We saw the largest voter turnout for a U.S. presidential election in 120 years. Across Jefferson County, volunteers gathered, donated and worked to feed families in need. Coloradans pitched in to help victims of

destructive wildfires and marched to bring attention to age-old issues around race and inequity.

But did 2020 bring everyday Coloradans anything they’ll want to embrace in coming years?

Heather Davis is a mother to a young daughter, a student and fledgeling journalist. She said the year that’s just passed has been a challenge, but good things have come her way in the form of a new freelance position and an internship. She’s in the top of her class at Metropolitan State University and says overall, 2020 gave her a lot to be thankful for.

But digging a bit deeper, she says the truly good things 2020 gave her are more important than jobs or grades.

Davis said her relationship with her daughter has improved because of the additional time they’ve spent together and the challenges they’ve overcome.

“Even though working from home is hard most of the time, I feel like it gives me the ability to be here and

know what my daughter needs when she needs it, as opposed to finding out only when calls come in from the teachers,” Davis said. “But I think it’s brought us closer too. We are there to actually see what each other deals with and it gives both of us the unique understanding of what the other is going through. That is something I will take with me.”

Colton McKenna of South Jeffco said it was the year he was able to start a small business doing something he loves.

“A lesson I learned in 2020 is that no matter the circumstances, life is way too short to wake up every day being unhappy,” he said. “I realized how important is to make changes and decisions that better myself.”

Therese Rednor from Lakewood said in 2020, it was the simple things like spending time with her son at a secluded Minnesota lake over the summer, that she’ll hold on to.

“It was there that I allowed myself time to slow down, and delighted

in the many games of corn hole that were played, conversations that were had and laughs that were shared,” she said.

“Each day I try to say one thank you — even if it’s just for a beautiful day outside, and learning to take deep breaths, not feeling like I have to rush to get something done.”

Now that 2021 is underway, the reality is, not much has changed.

Jeffco remains at Level Red on the COVID-19 Status Dial, and in the near-term, at least, the future of our schools, businesses and daily activities getting back to the way they were in the pre-pandemic era is far from certain. But Davis has some thoughts about this as well.

“When we finally are able to get back to normal, I know this is a year we will never forget and never take our relationships for granted anymore,” she said. “We definitely appreciate each other more. Hopefully everyone will hold on to that too.”

Help for Jeffco small businesses on the way

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

State Senate Bill 20B-001, passed in December’s extraordinary three-day legislative session, should soon yield a bit of financial relief for some Jeffco small businesses hurt by Covid restrictions. The bill provides $37

million for direct relief payments to small businesses in counties like Jeffco, that have been subject to severe capacity limits brought on by the move to Level Red (severe risk) on the state’s Covid-19 Status Dial.

It allows restaurants, bars, caterers, gyms, movie theaters and live event venues to apply for grants of up to

The bill emphasizes the need to give relief to small, minority and women-owned businesses. The bill language also specifically states that this monetary aid is given in hopes of preventing further strain on the state’s unemployment insurance program and minimize other ripple

effects of the pandemic throughout the economy.

To participate, counties must apply for a portion of the money through the Department of Local Affairs by Jan 8. The money will be distributed to local governments by Jan. 15. The SEE STATE, P3

amount of money given to each county is proportionate to the county’s population size.

During a December Wheat Ridge City Council meeting, City Manager, Patrick Goff gave an update about the program, saying Jeffco had decided to opt-in, and calling it good news that will provide some relief to the city’s small businesses.

“The County will be administering those grant dollars for our businesses,” He said. “So we’ll be doing everything we can — reaching out to all of our small businesses so that they’re aware of this new grant program — we’re working on that.”

Eligible businesses that meet the program’s requirements

Jeffco small businesses can find more information about how to apply for the grants by visiting the county’s website, www.jeffco.us in early January.

During the move to Level Red, restaurants lost the ability to offer in-door dining, bars and venues hosting other indoor events were closed and gyms were limited to 10% capacity.

Other businesses were impacted — retail was limited to 50%

capacity, but restaurants and other hospitality venues have been hardest hit.

The Bill also provides $7.5 million for direct relief payments to eligible artists, crew members and arts organizations.

Those payments will be allocated by the creative industries division in the Colorado office of economic development.

There is also $4 million in the Bill, to provide direct relief payments, grants, loans, technical assistance and consulting support to minority-owned businesses.

SB 20B-001, sponsored by Senators, Faith Winter (D) and Kevin Priola (R), along with Representatives, Leslie Herod (D) and Shane Sandridge (R), passed the House on December 2, 2020, by a vote of 46-17. The House-amended version passed the Senate by a vote of 30-4.

Denver Real Estate Market Ends 2020 with a Record-Breaking December

The chart at right is a compilation of various market indicators for the Denver metro area, which I am defining as within 25 miles of the State Capitol. There are some surprising differences this December from previous Decembers to be discerned from looking at that chart. I have included June figures but put the December stats in bold type to make it easier to compare the June and December stats over the last five years.

Historically, one would expect to see more sold listings, new listings and active listings in June than in December, and that trend held true in 2020, but the numbers for this December broke some new ground.

The number of sold listings and new listings are at record highs for December, leaving the number of unsold (active) listings at a record low for this time of year. I’m sure you’re well aware of how low our active inventory is currently, but, as I’ve said before, that’s not for lack of new listings but rather for how many buyers are in the market.

The strength of this sellers’ market becomes more evident when you look at the other columns. In past years, the median sold price in December was substantially lower than it was in June, but the opposite was true this year, rising to a record $455,000. Correspondingly, the average price per finished square foot surged above June’s number to a record $246, and the median days in the MLS (“DIM”) plunged from last December’s 24 to just 7 days this December — even lower than the DIM for June 2020. The average DIM of 28 is more typical of summer months than winter, reflecting the fact that even homes that had been languishing on the market (because they were overpriced) were selling at a faster clip last month. Indeed 22% of the listings sold were on the MLS for over 30 days. Of those, 5.8% were active

over 90 days, and 3.4% were active for more than 120 compared the December-over-December sales in Downtown Denver, nearby Capitol Hill and the Golden Triandays. Those older listings raise the average DIM. Because of the well-publicized migration away from gle (specifically, a 1.2-mile radius from 20th & Arapadensely populated areas because of Covid-19, I was cu- hoe Streets in downtown Denver) and found there were rious to learn whether single-family detached homes 63 sales in December 2019 compared to 77 sales in Derepresented a higher percentage of the closings this De- cember 2020. Meanwhile, there were 272 active listings cember, compared to December 2019, but in fact the in December 2019, but that surged to 444 active listings percentage dropped a little this year — 66.7% this year in December 2020. It’s a buyer’s market there.

In that same area, the days in MLS dropped from 43 vs. 69.5% last year. The same was true in June, when the pandemic was already raging and we believed that peo- days last December to 32 days this December (way ple were fleeing condos for detached single-family higher than the 24 days vs. 7 days for the 25-mile radius homes. This is counterintuitive, and I can offer no theory in the above chart), but the median sold price plunged from $535,000 in December 2019 to $480,000 in Deto explain it. But more on this topic below...

Another measure of how strong the sellers’ market is cember 2020. Compare that to the $40,000 increase in is how many homes sold above their asking prices. With median sold price with the larger metro area, as shown December 2019’s days in MLS number so high (24), in the above chart.

So, yes, it is still harder to sell a home in the densely one hardly needs to ask, but here are the numbers. This December, 16.6% of the listings sold for their full listing populated central Denver area, and there is definitely an price, and 42.2% sold above their listing price.

ELECTION FROM PAGE 1

Under Colorado law, people who are in jail awaiting trial or serving a misdemeanor sentence are eligible to vote. Those with felony convictions are not.

“We’re not saying 100% of (our) list is accurate (fraud),” said Mund. “We are saying we did our due diligence to whittle it down so that it would be credible enough to give to the district attorney’s office. But we’re not professionals, we are a group of volunteers who did the best we can to make sure we are not turning over voter records that would waste the time of the district attorney’s office.”

DA reviewing data

Pam Russell, the public information officer for the First Judicial District Attorney’s office that covers Jefferson and Gilpin counties, confirmed on Dec. 22 that the Republican Party “provided information to our office concerning a large number of potential voters.”

“We will be reviewing the data,” Russell wrote. “At this time, there is no additional information available.”

Both Russell and Mund declined to provide the list of specific voters whose eligibility is being questioned to Colorado Community Media.

“I don’t feel comfortable providing personal voter information to anyone after giving it to the District Attorney,” Mund said. “These records are under investigation.”

In a video posted to YouTube earlier this year, Jeffco County Clerk George Stern outlined several steps the county takes to update its voter rolls.

Those steps include receiving monthly updates from the state department of health about people who have died and need to be removed, receiving daily updates from the prison system about the voting status of people who have been in the criminal system and checking the postal service’s change of address database at least every month and removing voters who no longer live in the county.

“We are doing all of this to ensure our voter rolls are as up to date as possible,” Stern said in the video.

January 7, 2021J Party seeking larger election audit

In the press release sent on Dec. 18, Mund said the party also continues to seek an audit of the Dominion voting machines used by the county to count votes.

Following the election, Jefferson County completed a risk-limiting audit in which 229 ballots were pulled and looked at by bipartisan teams who verified that the Dominion machine had tabulated the votes just as humans would have.

Kara Rowland, the public and government affairs director for Jefferson County, said the county audited 229 ballots because that was the number of ballots that the secretary of state’s office has determined needed to be audited in Jeffco for the county to achieve a confidence level of 96% based on the number of ballots cast in the county and the closeness of its races.

However, Mund, who participated in the risk-limiting audit, maintains that 229 ballots is not enough to accurately audit the Dominion system, which has been criticized

by President Trump and other Republicans. So, the party is requesting that it be provided with images of all ballots cast in the November election in order to conduct its own audit.

“My concern with that was that we audited .005% of ballots cast,” said Mund. “This is far below an industry standard for banks or other financial institutions. Further, the ballots that are included in the risklimiting audit are selected by the Secretary of State’s office. Therefore, the efficacy of that type of an audit is very questionable.”

A press release from the Jeffco GOP said the Jeffco Clerk and Recorder’s office has quoted the party a $10,000 cost to provide those scanned ballot images, a number which Mund says is unacceptable and raises questions as to why the county is trying to put up barriers to the public inspecting the ballots.

The Jeffco GOP release also claims that scanned ballot images are being made available in other counties. Mund later clarified that county clerks in Pueblo and El Paso counties had testified during a recent hearing on election security at the state legislature that they are in the process of making ballots available, but not necessarily scanned images.

Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder Gilbert “Bo” Ortiz confirmed to Colorado Community Media that

his office is in the process of “redacting improper writing from ballot images” in order to make them available to the public to inspect for free upon request. He said he expects that process to be finished by mid-January and is keeping track of the amount of time it takes to complete that process.

Angie Leath, the director of elections in El Paso County, also confirmed that county makes ballots available for free inspection in two-hour increments with members of the public able to come in and look at them in as many sessions as they want. She said the county is also working to make ballot images available online after redacting identifiable information.

Pam Anderson, the former Jefferson County clerk and the current director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, said via email that under the Colorado Open Records Act ballots must be made available for inspection after an election has been certified. However, a county must first redact any information that could identify the voter. The statute also allows counties to charge for any actual costs incurred in making ballots available for public inspection, including redaction.

“Costs of providing election records available vary, of course,” wrote Anderson in her email. “It depends on the scope of the request (the number of ballots that need to be reviewed in this specific example) and the complexity of the coordination in the election.”

Anderson said counties sometimes choose to make ballots available for free or at a reduced cost but that is up to the county.

“That is a local decision as we have counties in very different financial, resource, and policy positions,” she wrote.

In an email to Colorado Community Media, Rowland stated that the Jeffco clerk’s office folows Colorado Open Record Act policy in responding to all CORA requests.

“State law requires us to redact ballot images before giving them or showing them to the public,” Rowland wrote. “When someone requests 382,000 ballots, the legally required redaction takes several hundred hours and the actual cost to the taxpayers – which CORA policy permits us to recoup – is almost $10,000. If someone requests fewer ballots, the redaction time and costs go down. Anyone is welcome

It pays to shop for

to review ballots in person, but the law still requires us to redact them.

Those redaction times and actual costs depend on how many ballots are requested.”

When asked about the clerk’s office’s response to the claims and requests being made by Mund and the county party, Rowland responded with an emailed statement, calling Mund’s press release “factually inaccurate” and said that “as custodians of public resources” the clerk’s office would not be spending more taxpayer dollars to investigate its claims. The statement continued: “Denver7 has already debunked the claim of dead people voting.

Furthermore, state law permits some people in correctional facilities to vote. People with national changes of address include Jefferson County voters who are soldiers stationed overseas and whose right to vote we strenuously protect. This election has already been audited statewide and praised by security experts and elected officials on both the right and the left. And we know of no Colorado county that has ballot images available on their website right now.”

Mund maintained that while the county GOP is calling for an investigation into the voter rolls, it does not believe that fraudulent voting would change the outcome of any November 2020 races within Jeffco. In a previous interview with Colorado Community Media, Mund said she believes problems with Dominion voting software have impacted the outcomes of the presidential race in other states but said she did not have evidence that had occurred in Colorado.

The investigation into the 3,000 voters will be conducted by the First Judicial Attorney’s office, led by newly elected DA Alexis King, a Democrat, who will be taking office on Jan. 12.

“I have no confidence that once the new district attorney is seated that the investigations will continue,” said Mund.

On Dec. 19, the day after the party announced it had submitted the records to the district attorney’s office, local news station Denver7 published a story stating that it had acquired the list of voters in question and reached three people, including members of both parties, who the Jeffco GOP was suggesting could be dead that were actually alive.

Sheriff’s Office decision to extend sentences impacts 200 inmates Man says he learned his sentence would be extended by 83 days on day he was supposed to be released

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After spending more than 400 days and $30,000 completing a work release sentence for a DUI, Chalmers Bradbury was eagerly counting the days till Dec. 9, when that sentence was set to end.

But when that date finally arrived, Bradbury was met only with bad news.

“I called the jail on the ninth to say what time should I come in to give you my GPS and the breathalyzer I carry around,” Bradbury said. “And that’s when they said my (release) date had been changed to March 2.”

That change came as a shock to Bradbury, who had received an email as recently as Nov. 17 from a Sheriff ’s Office staff member confirming that his work release sentence would end on Dec. 9.

That email also requested that Bradbury pay the rest of the $70 a day in rent he owed as part of the conditions of his work release at least two weeks prior to that date.

He says no one at the jail mentioned any change to his sentence when he

came in to make that payment.

However, when Bradbury asked a deputy about the change, he was told his was one of 200 people in the jail system — including 22 in the work release program — whose release date had been revised.

In an email to Colorado Community Media, Jeffco Sheriff ’s Office Public Information Officer Michael Taplin said the Sheriff ’s Office decided to make changes to the sentences after it determined some inmates were being given more credit for good behavior during their sentence (good time) than they were legally entitled to.

According to Taplin, inmates have been routinely given release dates at the start of their sentence that were calculated to reflect when they would be released if they received credit for both good behavior and fulfilling jail duties and paying fines (statutory time). However, the Sheriff ’s Office recently determined it was erring by basing those deductions on the starting sentence rather than time actually served.

That meant that work release inmates like Bradbury, who are eligible to earn 0.43 days off their sentence for good behavior for each day they successfully complete in the work release program, were being told release dates that were calculated based on how much good behavior time they would earn for their full sentence before credit for time served was included.

As a result, an inmate who was sentenced to 100 days, but was being credited with 20 days already served

before the sentence was given, would be given credit for nine days off their sentence that they had not actually earned.

But that explanation doesn’t sit well with Bradbury, who said its unfair for the jail to change people’s sentences so close to their release date.

“Dec. 9 has always been the date,” he said. “It’s insane they changed this calculation when they did. You don’t say `well, this guy has been here a year and a half and now we are going to do this.”

While Taplin said the move is motivated by a desire to make sure “inmates only earn good time for time they have actually served in

a program such as work release,” Bradbury expects another motivation.

“This is a money grab,” said Bradbury. “Just for me alone they are getting an extra $5,810 by extending my sentence because I pay $70 a day.”

In his email, Taplin wrote “all inmates were notified of the possibility of a change to their release date. On Nov. 1, these changes went into effect and inmates had the ability any time after Nov. 1 to look up their release date to see if it had changed.”

However, Bradbury said he was not giving any notification on Nov. 1 SEE INMATES, P9

• You must be 62+. (A non-borrowing spouse may be under 62.)

• The home must be your primary residence (you live there at least six months and one day per year).

Even if you have bad credit, have had a bankruptcy, or a foreclosure, you are not disqualified. In most cases there is a remedy for past credit problems. So, don’t think you can’t get the help you need.

DONATION FROM PAGE 1

collection of Jolly Rancher history anywhere.”

The donation, which will be known as the Harmsen Family Collection, includes everything from early product packaging to signs to molds that were used to create the company’s lesser-known chocolates, which were sold only in Colorado and neighboring states.

Dodge said the acquisition marks something of a change in philosophy for the museum, which had long eschewed dealing with anything Jolly Rancher other than a small display about the company’s early history in Golden.

January 7, 2021J But while the museum had never shown much interest in expanding the knowledge of Jolly Rancher, its visitors had. The museum would routinely get inquiries from the public relating to Jolly Rancher and old museum blog posts touching on the company’s Golden roots continue to be among its most most well-read.

“There appears to be nobody else in the country that appears to have much information about the Jolly Rancher company,” said Dodge.

“So, when I knew we had the opportunity to get a lot of this I just thought the time was right.”

For Dodge and other historians, one of the most exciting aspects of the deal with John Harmsen is the ability for museum staff to create digital facsimiles of the

company’s Sugar and Spice newsletters (Harmsen wanted to keep the originals), which were edited by Dorothy.

“Those are essentially a very thorough history of the entire business,” said Dodge. “They’re in full color and quite beautiful because they have a lot of original artwork and those will be available for anybody out there to look at.”

Other likely highlights include a pair of cowboy chaps that have been embossed with a Jolly Rancher logo that were used by a rodeo team the company sponsored and the molds, which were used to make specialty chocolates for Christmas and other holidays.

“It’s amazing to see these three dozen forms,” he said. “They’re from Germany and they’re just like little works of art.”

Art enthusiasts will also get a kick out of the many artistic elements of the collection, which includes cartoonish designs for ads and packaging boxes created by former Disney animator Bob Cormack and paintings of concepts for new Ranch Maid Ice Cream stores where the Harmsens sold Jolly Ranchers.

Once the donation was agreed to, Dodge and the museum’s staff got started with the biggest challenge of accepting a donation of this magnitude: figuring out what to do with it all.

Dodge said the main place to view and learn about the Jolly Rancher items will be the digital collection on the museum’s website. Staff have already added about 50 items to that collection, which allows anyone to view images of items as well

HOW TO VIEW THE COLLECTION Online Over 50 Jolly Rancher items are currently available for viewing in the museum’s online collection, which can be accessed at goldenhistory.pastperfectonline.com/. Dodge said the museum is planning to eventually add around 200 more items.

The Museum Most of the collection is not currently on display at the museum. However, shipping boxes from the 1960s have been adding to the small existing Jolly Rancher exhibit. The museum is currently open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (occupancy is limited to 10 people). Admission is free. as information about them, and are planning to add about 200 more.

However, he also said that the museum will incorporate the artifacts in future displays as they fit.

Already, two candy shipping boxes adorned with colorful graphics from the 1960s have been added to the small permanent Jolly Rancher exhibit at the museum.

Dodge said the museum is excited to have the collection not only because of what it will bring to the museum but because of what it says about the museum’s ability to handle such a collection.

“I think it really speaks to a growing recognition of the work that we are doing and the trust we have developed for them to share this stuff with us and look to use to steward it for future generations,” he said.

“I’m proud to be able to do that and don’t think there’s really any better place for this collection.”

y sister and I are unalike.

My sister and I are so unalike I required a DNA sample before I agreed to include her in my will.

“Cindy” makes lists.

She makes lists of the lists she is going to make.

I make lists of the lists I am not going to make.

In a recent email, she wrote, “Yes, I do write out a grocery list. Lately, I’ve been going to the store about every two weeks instead of every week. At home I keep a list of things that I might want from many different places. Then before I go to Kroger or Target or wherever, I make a new list for only that particular store.

“Today I had a lengthy list. A few things weren’t available because of the holiday season, but I was only getting those

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thou shall not kill

I have not read commentary by church leaders, nor their members, about the thirteen executions that have been approved, including the final three, now two, killings, by the Trump administration before Jan. 20. Only three people were executed by the federal government between 1970-2020.

Where is the moral outrage of the Right to Life and the Pro-Life groups, in the government and the general population, about any federal orstate executions! Recent appointments to the Supreme Court were “ProLife.” However, now, when 13 persons are killed by the current federal officials, nothing is said. Research shows that the #1 reason Catholics and Evangelicals voted for Donald Trump in 2016 was because he was “prolife” and “against abortion,” even though he paid for ads to kill five innocent persons in 1989. President Trump came to the March for Life rally in Washington, DC, Jan. 2020 – because their vote was important, not their prolife issue.

Persons who commit crimes are human beings! They were born with a right to life! Their crimes were committed in anger, rage, fear, theft, resentment, survival. They each have mental health problems, due to childhood or adulthood abuse or lack of opportunity because of home, education, society deprivations and/or neglect. And, yes, racial bias! Society has to manage crime for citizen safety. How we do this speaks volumes of how honestly we live the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes. These persons have stories, just like you and I. Shame on us.

things to try a new recipe. I’ll put those things back on a list for the next time I go.”

I wrote back, “As soon as possible, read your last email out loud to your therapist.

And send another DNA sample.”

Me? I go to the grocery store every other day, partly to shop and partly to remind myself why I live alone.

Something happens to people in grocery stores that doesn’t anywhere else.

Anne Teak, a Stanford University psychologist, commented, “Shoppers will stare at cans they’ve seen all their lives and wonder if, after a century, Campbell’s might have added sea bass or rum to its tomato soup. I can’t explain it.”

She can’t explain human behavior and she’s a psychologist.

How can a sister and a brother be so

different?

I’m not convinced we’re related.

We look different. She was homecoming queen and I have a face like a first baseman’s mitt, and right now it’s the bottom of the ninth.

Cindy does what she’s told. Her doctor insisted that she schedule appointments to have her ears cleaned with cotton swabs.

And she does.

“Don’t they sell Q-tips in Michigan?” I asked.

What word should define 2021?

colleague of mine here in these editorial pages likes to pick a word to live by at the beginning of the year. It’s a useHITTING ful exercise, and, in the spirit of HOME resetting literally everything for 2021, I would like to propose a few words to consider.

Humility — I know, everybody who knows me just spit out their coffee. Including that one person Michael Alcorn who took the time to write me a note a few months ago. But, among the most important underpinnings of humility is the understanding that there are powers and forces that are larger than ourselves in the world that we have absolutely zero control or influence over.

Like viruses.

Think about 2020 for a moment: the world was brought to its collective knees by an entity that is roughly one four-hundredth the circumference of a human hair.

Smaller than most bacteria, and so small that hundreds of them can float on a single water droplet travelling through the air. We so love to imagine ourselves masters of the universe, capable of producing munitions explosions brighter than the sun, we were all but incapacitated by one of the smallest particles on the earth.

And then we started dealing with it. First it was one set of

symptoms, but then maybe not.

Masks were not useful, then they became our lifeline. One treatment was good, then it was bad, then it became really good again.

Even the sainted Dr. Fauci admitted last week that he was wrong about some things, and has been gradually changing his explanations to account for that.

We don’t know everything. And, I suppose, that’s a good, if brutal, reminder. The start of all wisdom is the admission of “I don’t know.”

And whether you’re a scientist, a politician, a business owner, a pollster, or Joe Schmoe on the street, it’s helpful to remember that we don’t know everything.

This year, let’s exercise some humility, give people grace about their own limitations, and try not to impose so much on our fellows.

Deserve — Actually, this is a word I’d like struck from the lexicon. If 2020 taught us anything, it was that the world doesn’t care what is fair or what you think you deserve — sometimes it just sticks you with reality and you have to cope with it. Buddhists might say that to feel you “deserve” something is to set up expectations, and expectations are a trap that lead towards disappointment, anger, and suffering (of course Yoda was a Buddhist). Work and industry will provide you a means to earn something; talent will dictate areas where you might feel comfortable; your choices — good and bad — will largely govern your happiness and sense of usefulness. The world does not share your sense of what you deserve,

so let go of that idea and maybe, just maybe, you might find yourself a little happier.

Hope — Amid the dreck of last year, we saw not one warp-speed evolution of molecular science, but three, as three representatives of one of the most vilified industries in the world (big pharma) raced the clock and provided us with vaccines for the modern plague. That adaptability, creativity and sense of purpose should give us all hope that we can get back to normal this year. It’s not a sure thing, and we should temper our expectations for it, but there is hope. And Elie Wiesel so eloquently wrote in the midst of the greatest human plague the modern world has ever known, Hope is the one thing that the human spirit needs most to survive.

And that Hope should not be limited to COVID. I, for one, am hopeful that we will emerge a stronger, more civil, more compassionate people in 2021. But, more importantly, that we will all learn from 2020, and re-embrace the beauty and majesty of the human spirit, and begin to tackle the difficult challenges of the new world with our best selves forward.

LIFE

‘Set small goals’ and ‘find the joy’ Pandemic has taken a toll on mental health, but resolutions may be helpful

‘It’s been said that some of us are hanging on to a life raft while others are on a yacht.’

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

fter the most disruptive year in generations upended the social, financial and mental well-being of billions across the world, the question many face with the arrival of the new year is: What’s next?

For some, the tradition of new year’s resolutions may serve as a natural springboard for considering that question. It’s not easy, though, when “fatigue” has been the buzzword defining many people’s collective state of mind for months.

That includes “Zoom fatigue, pandemic fatigue, compassion fatigue,” said Cynthia Grant, the chief clinical officer for AllHealth Network, a nonprofit mental health organization in the south metro area.

“I think everyone is trying to stay safe and sane, but the prolonged nature of what we’re dealing with leaves many emotionally depleted, overwhelmed, feeling guilty, uncertain, helpless and exhausted by the choices we have to make every day to keep ourselves safe,” Grant said.

In some ways, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted life similarly to how a natural disaster does, affecting people’s mental health on a wide scale.

“The toll that a natural disaster takes on individuals, families, and communities is well-known in the mental health field,” said Grant, who is also a licensed clinical social worker. “They disrupt our daily lives and remind us of our lack of control in the world.

COVID forced us to change our routines and disconnected us from our social supports. The quarantine and safer-at-home regulations stripped away many of our coping mechanisms that help tame mental illnesses. We couldn’t see or hug

our friends, go to the movies or even work out at the gym.”

But the pandemic has reshaped life in unique ways, too, according to Shawn Worthy, a clinical psychologist and professor of human services at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Natural disasters “are events that are sudden — they have a big impact and then you can respond, so they’re very acute situations,” Worthy said. On the other hand, the pandemic is “kind of the chronic situation. This has been going on for almost a year now, about 10 months now. So the length of the difficulty, I think, impacts people differently.”

Short bursts of traumatic experiences can be harrowing, Worthy said, noting that comparing trauma can be problematic.

“But what I can say is that the long-term, chronic mental health drain that the pandemic is having on most people certainly is creating this kind of slow-rolling but intense trauma for most people,” Worthy said.

On top of that, the pandemic has affected some vastly more than others in a financial sense, Worthy noted.

“If you have a job you can do at home or is relatively safe, that’s

IF YOU NEED HELP Cynthia Grant, the chief clinical officer for AllHealth Network, a nonprofit mental health organization in the south metro area, offered advice to those feeling more depressed, anxious or stressed out than usual due to the pandemic.

“Learn to say no to things that are not a priority for you or that may add to your burden. Continue to speak up and ask for what you need. More people are asking for help, and more mental health resources are available than in the past: traditional therapies, apps (like CALM and Headspace) and group support,” Grant said. “Know that you are not one thing,” Worthy said. “But if you have a job in the entertainment industry, restaurant industry, travel industry, hospital industry, (the effect is great). A lot of them are thinking of how to pay the bills, how to have a holiday dinner — all those very basic-level things.”

The start of the pandemic was marked by a “great solidarity” in fighting the coronavirus, but as the crisis continued to rage, “it hasn’t been the same boat for all of us,” Grant said.

“It’s been said that some of us

alone and help is right here for you. The Colorado Spirit program at AllHealth Network is a free program open to anyone who needs psychological support due to the pandemic. Counselors are available by phone (or) Zoom, or you can review resources on our website.”

That site is allhealthnetwork.org/ colorado-spirit.

For many, a natural disaster leads to post-traumatic growth with reflection and opportunities to make positive change, Grant said.

But “others (face) job loss, the burden of remote work and remote school, grief over the loss of a loved one, or being isolated for so long it had bred loneliness, depression, anxiety, sleepless nights and SEE NEW YEAR, P11

Colorado Office of Film recognized for highlighting native voices COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

Never underestimate the power of storytelling. Not only can the art entertain and enlighten, but it helps keep histories alive - both personal and those of a group of people.

That’s why the Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media received international acknowledgement for its entry in the Makers and Shakers “Film Commission Initiative of the Year” award ceremony this month. The office was recognized for the program it launched with young members of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in the southwest corner of the state - a program that created a film which told some of their

stories and highlighted ways for young people to get into the industry.

“There were seven international entries in the category, and only three were from the US. And from all those entries, ours was the only one that wasn’t about a location - it was about inclusivity,” said Donald Zuckerman, director of the office. “We didn’t win the award, but we did receive a special commendation, and it was a great honor just to be recognized.”

increased substance use,” Grant said. “These are normal reactions to an abnormal situation.”

‘The relational factor’

Those wondering how to navigate the hurdles may be reshuffling their priorities. Asked how the pandemic could tend to affect the goals people set, Worthy said there’s no specific research to guide that answer.

But “what I’m guessing is that typically, when people have faced trauma, their response is one that is more focused on the more fundamental kind of issues,” Worthy said. “So like, spending better quality time with family, not taking for granted your grandma and grandpa who you haven’t been able to see (consistently) in a long time.

“Hopefully for a fair number of people, it’ll be those kinds of fundamental things — the relational factor in our lives,” Worthy said.

Still others have been unable to go out and enjoy their passions — fitness and travel may be high on the list of people’s priorities, Worthy said.

Even something as basic as sav-

there was a lack of summer programs for high school students, the office decided to offer something that taught students about sharing stories and the film industry.

“We worked with the Colorado Film School in Aurora and sent three people there for two weeks, and while they were there, they worked with a half-dozen students on a nine-minute film,” Zuckerman said. “We were able to premiere that film at the Denver Film Festival. We invited the kids down and many had never been to Denver before - it was a really heartwarming moment.”

Like everything else this year, the program was impacted by COVID-19, but the aim is for it to return next summer. And the office is in conversations to create similar programs with other native communities around the state, according to provided information.

“We want people to feel included,

ing money could be a popular goal so that people can prevent ending up in a compromising situation again, Worthy continued. Some behavior may harken back to those who went through the Great Depression and kept money in their shoeboxes and other obscure places to guard against financial hardship.

“You’d find money in their mattress, people from that era,” Worthy said. “It was fascinating.”

Grant thinks that in the new year, many will set goals related to making physical and mental health a priority.

“We are also seeing people set priorities with a focus on making time to connect in our relationships with friends, family, neighbors, and even the server at our favorite restaurant or the person we used to see on at the gym,” Grant said. “I also recommend that people prioritize setting goals that are fun and bring joy — whether that is something small like dancing in the kitchen, taking a sunrise walk, an aspirational goal like reading 52 books in a year or taking a long-awaited trip with friends. Find the joy!”

Grant’s advice is to set goals that are “reasonable, do-able and

something you can look back on and know you hit it and checked the box.”

“I encourage people to set small goals — what Arianna Huffington calls ‘microsteps,’ a big idea that’s too small to fail. For example, if your goal is to cut your social media use in half, start by not having your phone with you when you’re eating, then try not to have it in your bedroom,” Grant said.

“There’s a little bit of pride in each step that gets accomplished that makes us feel good about achieving our goals.”

Worthy emphasized the dual benefits of focusing on helping others.

“If you can turn the focus away from yourself and onto potentially helping other people who are less fortunate, that is always a good thing, because it makes you feel good and it makes someone else feel good,” Worthy said, using the example of volunteering at a food bank or a similar establishment that helps others.

Sunlight can be another tool: Take advantage of the Denver area’s 50-degree winter days when they happen. Just getting out and walking around in the sun is good for the mood, Worthy said.

Asked about any new year’s resolutions of his own, Worthy laughed and replied that his goal is

and one of the reasons we launched the program was to include the native American population in what we do,” Zuckerman said. “We do a lot with education and take people all around the state to talk about how they got into the business, not just of film, but video games and any kind of content creation.”

Don’t go stumbling now that we’re in the home stretch

I

’m sure I wasn’t alone in breathing a sigh of relief this past New Year’s Eve when 2020 finally came to an end.

It’s been a tough year for so many people in so many ways.

For me, personally, it ended with two of my good friends passing away right after Christmas.

Although neither one of them died as a result of COVID, it was still a sad ending to the year. I did lose three other friends to COVID though, and I am hoping that they are the only ones I know that will perish from it.

But, that may not be the case.

Even though we finally have vaccines emerging, we all have to remember that there is a difference between a vaccine and actually being vaccinated and we are just in the early stages of getting an enormous number of people vaccinated and the process is complicated by the fact that the two vaccines currently available need to be given in two separate doses. We are just going to have to hang in there a little while longer and still keep our guard up. My mind keeps flashing back to those war movies where the hero finishes a combat tour and is headed home on a helicopter or airplane that gets blown out of the sky. Now that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, you don’t want to get complacent

and end up as one of the last fatalities of COVID-19.

Just wear your masks, wash your hands and keep a distance from other people for a little while longer.

2021’s New Years Eve party is going to be off the hook John Akal and you don’t want to miss it, OK? Now, of course, this column usually is about upcoming events, and as of this writing, things are pretty much still canceled everywhere except for virtual ones, and we have already looked at where you can find those. I’m sure most of you have already exhausted ways to entertain yourselves and your family on-line and binge watched way too much television. You don’t really need a recommendation of a new Netflix series, you are probably already in the middle of watching something on there.

What you do need is a bit of guidance as to when things are going to start opening up again, and what to expect. Unfortunately, I really don’t have any concrete answers for you either, and believe me, I have been looking and keeping on top of every

AVENUE FLASHES

breaking news story regarding when and how things will be back on track. Restrictions are being added and subtracted so fast, and situations changing almost overnight, so it’s really difficult to know exactly where things stand. Add to that the fact that things in the state are coded in colors like red and orange but different cities and counties have their own rules and regulations, so it’s still pretty confusing. My best advice is to just keep watching our local news broadcasts and once you hear something may be changing and opening up, call your favorite places on the phone and ask them what they are doing right now. Even though they may be able to open at 25% capacity, some may opt not to do so and others may have already completely gone out of business.

Right now it’s too early for me to give you a complete damage report, and businesses are scrambling this week to get back in operation, so stand by, I’ll keep you updated as best as I can.

This much I can tell you, most live music is still on hold. There has to be a certain number of people in an audience to cover the expense of it and 25% is barely enough people to just keep the doors open, let alone add paying for a band, so that is going to be a little further down

the road. Even the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra has canceled this year’s concert season. They aren’t allowed to sell enough tickets to cover the cost of putting on a concert yet.

Right now we are all playing a numbers game. Everything hangs on the official totals and graphs showing the number of virus cases reported, how many people end up in the hospital and how many people die every day. That where everyone’s bread and butter comes from, so if we want to get things back open again, we have to still do what we can to get those numbers down, because they are the only thing that really count right now.

Nobody is counting how many people refuse to wear masks for personal reasons, refuse to social distance and still think this whole thing is some kind of joke. If you get sick, you just end up as a number on one of those charts. So, please … Do what you can to stay off the charts, OK? It’s not the Billboard Hot 100.

Jeffco’s most vulnerable begin receiving Covid-19 vaccine Nursing homes and assisted living facilities start rolling out round one of inoculations

A resident in a long term care facility in south Jefferson County talks with a family member through a screened window after opening his Christmas gift on Dec. 24. Most long term care facilities, including this one, have been closed to inperson visits since March of 2020.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With U.S. coronavirus deaths topping 68,000 for the month of December, Jeffco’s long-term care providers and the residents they take care of, deemed to be at the highest risk of mortality in the pandemic, are relieved to be getting long-awaited shots in the arm. Several facilities in Jeffco will be receiving their first round of vaccines during the week of Jan. 4.

Jessica Harmon, Executive Director, Rocky Mountain Assisted Living, said her residents are excited about the vaccines, and she’s hoping at least 95% of them will opt to get it. RMAL operates 13 facilities around the metro area. Their first vaccination clinic will take place Jan. 4. According to Harmon, there will be 3 opportunities to be vaccinated for each of their residences.

Harmon said with the age of the majority of their residents — having been at the forefront of previous vaccines for polio and smallpox, most have been accepting of the vaccine.

“It’s been a lot easier to get residents onboard than staff,” she said.

“It’s been more of a challenge to get staff members to stop believing stuff they’re reading on Facebook and social media, and consult with their doctors about the safety of the vaccine.”

While she’s hopeful vaccines will help the community turn a corner

and speed up the timeline for her residents to be able to receive inperson visits again, she thinks that could still be down the road a bit.

“Our anticipation is that there will have to be a lot more community vaccination before allowing visits,” Harmon said.

Lorna Lee, VP Marketing and Communications for MorningStar Senior Living, said she’s thrilled the vaccinations will be available to residents across the company’s 27 communities. MorningStar has three locations in Jeffco, with senior communities in Arvada, Wheat Ridge and a South Jeffco location with a Littleton address.

A separate press release provided

by Lee said MorningStar has enrolled in the CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program, available through a partnership with Walgreens and CVS Pharmacies to provide vaccines for their residents.

“We are deeply grateful to our staff who have endured unprecedented demands and displayed unwavering dedication to our residents during this global public health crisis,” said Alexis Martini,

COO of MorningStar, in the release.

“As the vaccination process is rolled out over a period of weeks, we ask for the continued patience of residents and their families. We are coming out of a supremely challenging time, both physically and emotionally, but real hope is on the horizon.”

Governor Jared Polis has implemented a tiered plan for vaccination priority. Phase 1A vaccine recipients include frontline medical workers, first responders and nursing home residents.

Phase 1B of the vaccination plan, to come perhaps in March or April, will allow essential members of the work force, notably now including teachers, to receive the vaccine.

People aged 70 and older are also now eligible in Phase 1B Phase 2 of the plan, estimated for this summer, opens up vaccinations for people ages 65-69, people ages 16 to 64 with preexisting conditions and people serving in local government.

Phase 3 of Polis’ plan will allow the rest of the general public to receive a vaccination.

WHO CAN GET THE VACCINE (AND WHEN) The following are updated priority guidelines for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, released by the state Dec. 30: Phase One (winter)

1A: Highest-risk health-care workers and individuals — People who have direct contact with COVID-19 patients for 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period; long-term care facility staff and residents.

1B (spring): People age 70 and older, moderate-risk health-care workers, first responders, frontline essential workers and continuity of state government — Health-care workers with less direct contact with COVID-19 patients, including workers in home health/hospice and dental settings; emergency medical services personnel, firefighters, police, correctional workers, dispatchers, funeral services, other first responders and COVID-19 response personnel; people 70 or older; frontline essential workers in education, food and agriculture, manufacturing, public transit, grocery, essential human services and direct care for those experiencing homelessness; frontline journalists; essential officials from executive, legislative and judicial branches of state government.

Phase Two (spring)

Higher-risk individuals and other essential workers: People age 60-69; people age 16-59 with obesity, diabetes, chronic lung disease, significant heart disease, chronic kidney disease, cancer or are immunocompromised; other essential workers and those involved in continuity of local government; adults who received a placebo during a COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial.

Phase Three (summer)

The general public: Anyone age 16-59 without high-risk conditions.

Jeffco has applied to implement a 5 Star variance program for restaurants Program designed to safely open up area restaurants sooner

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County has been given the green light from the state to offer a program that would allow restaurants to bring more customers into their dining rooms. However, restaurants will not yet be able to take advantage of the provisions of the program following Gov. Jared Polis’ surprise announcement moving the county from Level Red to Orange on the COVID-19 dial on Dec. 30.

The county announced on Dec. 31 that it had been approved to implement the state’s 5 Star Certified Business Variance program in Jeffco.

Under that program, restaurants, gyms and other businesses have been allowed to operate under less restrictive capacity caps than their county’s level on the state COVID-19 dial would indicate if they take enhanced COVID-19 health and safety

measures.

The program would theoretically allow approved Jeffco businesses to operate under Level Yellow restrictions, which allow restaurant dining rooms to operate at up to 50% capacity, while the county is in Level Orange. Level Yellow also allows restaurants to serve up to 100 guests at once, assuming there is enough room to space them all out according to an online social distancing calculator.

However while businesses will be now be able to apply for and receive Five Star certification, they won’t actually be able to utilize the higher capacity limits right away following an announcement from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. That announcement stated certified businesses will not be able to take advantage of the program and operate under Level Yellow until Jeffco has met the thresholds for moving into Level Orange for 14 days.

Those thresholds include a rate of new cases of less than 350 per 1000,000 people, a test positivity rate below 15% and hospitalizations decreasing or stable for more than eight days. Although Jeffco

is currently meeting the latter two requirements, the county’s new case rate remains higher than 350 per 100,000 people.

A county press release announce the launch of the program stated that the county “will continue to work hard to launch our program and will provide updates as we have new information.”

How the program works

According to the application submitted to the state, Jeffco’s implementation of the program would initially be restricted to restaurants without drive-thru capability.

“We would plan to roll this program out to other categories of businesses if our COVID-19 milestone metrics remain stable or continue to show declines” reads a letter in the application signed by the three county commissioners.

Jeffco Commissioner Libby Szabo said the commissioners decided to start with restaurants without drive throughs because they have been some of the hardest hit by Level Red closures, particularly as cold weather limited outdoor dining. However, she said she was also hoping the program could soon be expanded to

include gyms and other businesses.

To apply for a 5 Star variance, businesses will be required to implement several COVID-19 strategies listed on the CDPHE website.

For example, restaurants are required to improve their ventilation by either making improvements to their HVAC system or opening windows and doors during business hours to maximize airflow.

They are also required to make extra efforts to make special accommodations for at-risk populations and file plans with the county for outbreak detection, reporting and response. Businesses seeking certification may not have any prior citations of noncompliance with prior public health orders.

Inspection

In its application, Jeffco proposes that its program be overseen by a committee consisting of representatives from the county manager’s office, Jeffco Public Health, six Jeffco city governments and seven county chambers of commerce and economic organizations.

The county will then contract with SEE RESTAURANTS, P23

Jefferson County Public Health has launched a new webpage with information about the COVID-19 vaccine.

counties didn’t qualify for level orange. The three metrics are 14-day test positivity rate, hospitalization rate and 14-day new case incidence rate. Denver metro counties were in the clear with the first two, but their 14-day incidence rates were still level red, according to CDPHE data.

“This drastic change to level orange, while it’s very helpful for businesses and very helpful for our economy, we’re hopeful that we’re not moving too quickly and that we don’t start to see another surge,” Jennifer Ludwig, deputy director of Tri-County Health Department, said in a Dec. 31 press conference.

At level orange, restaurants can serve guests indoors at 25% of capacity not to exceed 50 people and gyms can operate at 25% capacity, as can noncritical office-based businesses. Groups of 10 from no more than two households can gather indoors. Organized recreational youth or adult sporting leagues cannot hold indoor events.

State health officials recently approved Arapahoe and Douglas counties for the Five Star Recovery Partner Program, which loosens

how it will be distributed in Jefferson County. It also includes a chart created by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment that outlines the three phases of vaccine distribution in the state.

CDPHE has also created its own website with additional information about the vaccine. That website, which can be accessed at covid19. colorado.gov/vaccine, is also updated daily with the total number of vaccination doses that have been administered across Colorado. As of 4 p.m. on Dec. 27, 67,047 doses of vaccine had been administered in Colorado.

restrictions for eligible businesses.

It was originally believed that a Five-Star-certified business can operate a dial level lower — meaning less restrictive — than its county. If Douglas and Arapahoe had stayed at level red, Five-Star-certified businesses could have operated at level orange restrictions on Jan. 4.

However, the regionwide move to level orange doesn’t mean Five-Starcertified businesses can yet operate at level yellow restrictions, Ludwig explained. A county must meet all the metrics, which those in the metro area have not. The counties’ 14-day incidence rates need to move from red to orange first.

Confusion around the Five-Star program was a major issue as of Dec. 31 for municipalities, which fielded calls all day, Ludwig said.

City representatives didn’t have answers, though, said Ludwig, adding that “we were not prepared for the announcement to be moving to level orange.”

The decision was “an absolute directive from the governor,” she added.

Meanwhile, a public health order for Adams County, which included a curfew, had been in place until Jan. 7. That was to expire early when the counties moved to level orange on Jan. 4.

an unnamed third-party vendor that will process applications and conduct live inspections of all applicant businesses prior to granting them a 5 Star waiver.

Costs

The application states that the county has dedicated $250,000 to support the program and will assess its ability to provide more funding if and when it is needed. Applying for Five Star certification would be free for businesses.

Enforcement

The third-party vendor will be responsible for enforcement inspections. If violations are found during an inspection, the county manager will issue a written warning. If a second violation is identified within 90 days, the county will revoke the variance Eligibility

According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, counties in Level Red are eligible to implement a 5-star variance program only if a county has had a sustained two-week decline in

COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations as well as a test positivity rate that is either under 10% or improving over two weeks.

However, the program may be suspended if a county sees significant rises in any of those metrics. Suspension is automatic if the county’s hospitals exceed 90% of their ICU capacity.

The county application states that county COVID-19 cases declined 42.5% between Nov. 25 and Dec. 22, despite remaining above the threshold for moving into Level Yellow.

CDPHE rules require that any launch of a 5-star variance program within a county not detract from core public health functions. Jefferson County attempted to address that requirement with the following statement within its application: “Continuity of on-going public health functions will not be compromised. Contact tracing,vaccine distribution, public information, surveillance, and other core functions will continue to be monitored and supported by the local Public Health Director and existing staff.

Staff from our contact tracing and vaccine distribution teams will not be tasked with supporting the 5 Star program, as Jefferson County is hiring a third-party vendor to implement the 5 Star program with oversight from the Adminis-

trative Committee.”

What businesses can do now

The county is asking all businesses interested in securing a 5-star variance (not just restaurants without drive-thrus eligible for the first phase) to submit a business interest form indicating that they are willing and able to meet all criteria for a 5-star variance. Businesses can find and submit the form at www.jeffco. us/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1460.

Jeffco Public Affairs Director Julie Story said the county was told

by CDPHE that it was processing county applications in about two business days but that the process could take longer during the holiday week. No decision had been made as of Dec. 31.

Reaction

While the announcement was likely welcome news to many restaurants, some questioned the decision to limit the program to drive through-less restaurants.

In a post on their Facebook page, Archery Games Denver, an Arvada business that offers customers the chance to play a dodgeball-like game with bows and felt-tipped arrows, posted the following on their Facebook page: “We hope Jefferson County Public Health will amend this program

to prioritize all small businesses equally, not just restaurants. The new requirements for going ‘beyond what is already required by public health orders and guideline’ are exactly what we’ve done proactively since June. We’ve given all reservations the option to be totally private (the only place in Colorado that we know of where you can reserve 5,000 square feet for four people), changed how our training is conducted to increase social distancing, added cleaning procedures, invested in HEPA air filters, kept contact information for all groups, and kept our garage door open as much as possible. We’re proud that with thousands of guests since March, we’ve had 0 cases of covid among our team, and, as far as we know, our guests.”

For Szabo, who has frequently voiced concerns about the impacts prolonged institution of public health orders are having on businesses, the Five Star Program would represent more a step in the right direction than a cure to all the challenges faced by businesses.

“No one program addresses everything,” she said. “It is a work in progress and I am hoping this can be a big factor in the lives of these business owners who are trying to make a living when it’s been very difficult for them. Small business is really the backbone of our community.”

Public Notices distancing, wear a mask or other facial covering and be free of COVID-19 symptoms.
