Business as unusual After brutal year, retailers brace for holiday season that will be anything but regular

“We know that the sooner someone knows they have COVID-19, the sooner they can take important steps to prevent disease spread, like isolating at home and notifying their close contacts,” said Dr. Margaret Huffman, Director of Community Health Services at JCPH, in the release. “These new testing sites will help more people know

In a typical year, the Red Wagon Gift and Garden shop in Golden kicks off the holiday shopping season by putting out hot cider, cookies and other treats to welcome customers for Small Business Saturday.

But, as everyone knows all too well by now, this year has been anything but typical — and holiday shopping will be no exception.

“Obviously we are not doing any of that this year,” said Red Wagon owner Susan Lusk ahead of the annual local shopping event. “So, I am just hoping people will still want to come down and shop, even though we aren’t doing quite as much festivities as we did before.”

Once unthinkable, such concerns about whether people will be willing to come out and shop not only on Small Business Saturday but in the weeks that follow have become commonplace around Jeffco as local retailers brace for a holiday season where even the basic act of browsing a store carries plenty of risk.

“I’m a little worried to tell you the truth,” said Lusk, who said her store typically does as much in sales during the holiday season as it will in the next four or five months that follow. “December is everything and if we don’t have people in to buy stuff we are going to be in trouble.”

Red Wagon and other stores did get a big boost on Nov. 17 when Gov. Jared Polis announced changes to the COVID-19 dial that would allow retailers to operate at 50% capacity even as counties like Jeffco moved to Level Red and had to put a stop to indoor dining and other commercial activities.

But Lusk said even that move has created a challenge as she worries confusion about what is and isn’t allowed under the ever-

From fires to tornadoes, Golden man embraces pursuit of extreme weather ‘It’s the thrill of the chase’ STAFF REPORT

Many people prefer to avoid severe weather when they can.

Then there’s Cody Cooper.

“I love going after the highest wind that I can get recorded,” said Cooper. “I love snow and snow squalls and stuff like that and, of course, summertime thunderstorms which are another one of my favorite things to go chase.”

Cooper, who is a lifelong Golden resident, said his interest in extreme weather was sparked early

when his grandfather showed him the blockbuster movie “Twister” when he was five years old.

It wasn’t long after that Cooper began heading up to the tallest hill in his Golden neighborhood, which he dubbed Stormchaser Hill, to watch the clouds roll through.

Free COVID-19 testing site opens at Jeffco Fairgrounds Site to offer 2,000 tests a day STAFF REPORT

Golden now has its own free COVID-19 testing site.

On Nov. 20, Jefferson County Public Health announced it was partnering with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to open a large-scale COVID-19 community testing site at

the Jeffco Fairgrounds. The testing site opened on Nov. 22.

Although the site will accept walk-ins, those looking to get tested are encouraged to pre-register at curative.com/sites/14597. The site can perform at least 2,000 tests a day, and people can see how many tests are left before they leave home at the registration link. Results are expected to take 2-3 days to get back.

According to a press release, the location will offer a self-performed oral test, which minimizes in-

County election results certified despite GOP canvassers declining to sign off GOP canvassers request audit to address concerns about Dominion machines STAFF REPORT

Jefferson County’s 2020 election results were certified on Monday, Nov. 23, despite two Republican members of the county board of canvassers declining to sign in favor of certifying the election.

According to state statute, an election shall be certified with a majority of signatures from that board, which currently consists of two representatives from each of the major parties as well as Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder George Stern.

On Monday, Stern signed in favor of certification along with Democrats Susan Glass and Carl Hamm.

However, Republicans Denise Mund and Gerald Arnold declined to sign to certify.

In a press release issued on Nov. 23, Mund, who is the chair of the Jeffco Republican Party, wrote that the party’s members were requesting that the county complete a bipartisan audit of the code in the Dominion voting machines it has been using to count votes since 2017 before the election is certified.

“Because all voters deserve transparency and accountability in our elections and because of dramatic statistical differences that exist, the (report) filed today requests a bipartisan audit of the Dominion software code,” Mund wrote in the release.

In the report submitted to the clerk and recorder’s office on Monday and signed by two other party leaders, Mund wrote that “there should be greater transparency with the software’s coding and the ability of the public to see that software audited.”

“I believe there should be a thorough review to alleviate all concerns,” she continued.

The report went on to outline seven requests by the party. Those requests include “a review of the software code for each election moving forward” and “an audit of voter registration lists to explain why issues such as voters (receiving) duplicate ballots and families (receiving) ballots for children that left the home years ago occurred.”

It also requests audits of the 2018 and 2020 results, using a “significantly sized sample that is larger

However, the report noted that Mund is “not alleging any sort of election fraud” and does not believe races would be overturned as a result of the audit.

Stern says election already audited Stern, however, pointed to the audits of the 2018 and 2020 elections that had already been completed prior to the certification of those respective elections.

“Bipartisan audit boards in all 64 counties in the state have already audited the 2020 and 2018 elections,” Stern said in a statement provided by his office to Colorado Community Media. “That is something Colorado has done statewide in every election since 2017. That audit confirms that humans would have counted the ballots exactly as the machines and their software counted those ballots.”

Kara Rowland, the government and public affairs director for Stern’s office, also pointed to a statement posted by former Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams about the state’s voting process and use of Dominion machines last week.

In that statement, Williams said Dominion’s machines have passed 352 audits since they began being

used in 2017.

In a video posted to YouTube last February, Stern outlined the process which he said involve the county pulling “a statistically-significant number of ballots” which are looked at with bipartisan teams “to make sure the results that the machine counted on that ballot are exactly as the humans would’ve counted.”

However, Mund said Jeffco GOP does not feel that effort represented “a true audit” because the county audited just 229 of the 340,000 ballots that were counted in Jeffco.

Rowland said the number of ballots that are audited depends on the closeness of the races with the Secretary of State’s office running each county’s results through statistical

analysis to determine how many ballots need to be audited to obtain a confidence level of 96%.

Mund also said that her party has found anomalies in the results from both 2018 and 2020 that “we were not sure how to understand.”

“The reason I didn’t cite specific anomalies in my report is we wanted the focus to be on the bi-partisan effort to certify election results,” she said. “Our focus is not on there being any intentional fraud or anything like that so we intentionally did not include specific data.”

Jeffco Sheriff’s Office seeks re-accreditation

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

According to a statement released by the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office, the agency was to undergo a remote, site-based assessment from a team with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc, from Nov. 30 through Dec. 2, 2020, to examine all aspects of policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services. Verification by the team that the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office meets the Commission’s state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain re-accreditation — a highly prized recognition of

public safety professional excellence.

This will be the eighth re-accreditation for the Jeffco Sheriff ’s Office, which has been CALEA accredited since 1994.

As part of the assessment, agency personnel and members of the community were invited to offer comments to the assessment team by telephone. The comments were limited to 10 minutes and had to address the agency’s ability to comply with CALEA Standards. A copy of the standards was available via the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office records department.

In the press release, Sheriff Jeff Shrader said “The Jefferson County Sheriff ’s

Office’s CALEA accreditation represents a significant professional achievement for the excellence in service that we provide to our community. To gain this accredited status, our office complies with 459 CALEA standards. Those principles are clearly defined in our daily operations and allow us to work effectively and efficiently in combating crime.”

Accreditation is for four years, during which the agency must submit annual reports and participate in annual remote web-based assessments attesting continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.

and had also received calls from people whose homes were sent ballots for kids who had not lived there in years, Mund said.

“I understand there is a legal process to clean up the voter rolls but I think it warrants a review just to make sure that appropriate people are getting ballots,” said Mund.

Mund also stated that while the Jeffco GOP was requesting an audit, it did have a good relationship with the county clerk’s office.

“I’ve been asking questions for the last several weeks about the software and this is the culmination of those conversations in

which they have been very transparent and I have literally submitted 35 or 40 questions,” she said.

“There are so many people that are questioning Dominion software and because we have a good working relationship with the county clerk’s office I think this is a good time to say let’s do this extra step right now to ensure voter confidence,” she added.

While Stern decided to go ahead with certification, Mund said she had not sensed he was shutting the down on conversations about ensuring transparency.

“He has been very open to our conversations in the past and I would assume that will continue whether he overrode our declining to certify or not,” she said.

Agents Who Submit ‘Love Letters’ Risk Committing a Fair Housing Violation

Until recently it was a common practice for buyers’ agents to submit a “love letter” with their offers, hoping to convince the seller to choose their buyer over others in a bidding war.

That practice has fallen out of favor, however, as doing so might constitute a violation of federal Fair Housing rules as well as of the Realtor Code of Ethics.

Article 10 of the Code includes the following: “Realtors shall not be parties to any plan or agreement to discriminate against a person or persons on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.” Such discrimination is also a state and federal crime.

It would be hard not to reveal any of the above characteristics in a “love letter,” especially if it contains a photo of the buyer or buyer’s family. But there are other subtleties to consider. One of the sessions at last month’s National Association of Realtors conference was titled, “How to Stay Out of Trouble: Risk Management and the Code of Ethics,” taught by Barbara Betts, a California Realtor who is also a hearing officer for violations of the Code of Ethics.

In her talk, as reported by Inman News, Betts described how risky such letters could be, especially for the seller and listing agent. “Sellers are humans.

Even though they are not purposely trying to create a fair housing situation for themselves, they inadvertently are,” she said. “When the seller gets these letters, they get excited to sell the home to

someone they feel will fit into their neighborhood, and that’s where there’s a problem.”

The danger is intensified when there are competing buyers. Imagine, for example, that one of the buyers reveals himself to be a single African American who says your home is perfect for him because of his handicap, but your seller chose a family with children who liked your home because it’s close to their synagogue.

You have offered a smorgasbord of fair housing violations that the rejected buyer could mention in a fair housing complaint, and that their broker could cite in a Code of Ethics complaint!

“We need to consider raising fair housing concerns with our buyers,” Betts advises her fellow Realtors. “Don’t read or accept these letters that are drafted by a buyer. Certainly do not give any support or suggestions. As listing agents, we definitely need to discuss the potential liability at the listing interview and not deliver or accept these for the seller.”

Betts added, “If the letter is all about ‘I love your home. It’s beautiful. I love how you’ve remodeled it, I promise I won’t tear it down and remodel it,’ there aren’t any fair housing violations in those statements. The second you start talking about family, color, race, religion, marital status, those things instantly become possible fair housing violations.”

For all these reasons, the agents at Golden Real Estate no longer submit or accept “love letters” from buyers. If we receive one, it’s best that we don’t even read it and that we inform the buyer’s agent that we have shredded it.

There are other ways in which Real-

tors can commit a fair housing violation, perhaps unconsciously. In real estate school I remember being taught about the illegal practice know as “steering,” in which an agent would recommend different neighborhoods to different buyers based on where they would “fit in” because of their race, color or religion. We must truly be blind to such characteristics and give the same information to all buyers. Fortunately, buyers do their own searching most of the time. As agents, we must show any buyer what they want to see without comment of any kind.

When a buyer from out of town asks us to describe our neighborhoods, it’s best to avoid all demographic descriptions, limiting ourselves to describing the housing stock, price range, etc. We must not provide such information with an intention to steer them in any way.

Sellers expect us to show their homes only to qualified buyers, but if we ask some buyers but not others to be prequalified by a lender we work with, we are opening ourselves to possible discrimination complaints, especially if it is based on profiling based on racial or other criteria related to a protected class.

We’d all like to believe that racism and other kinds of systemic or cultural discrimination are artifacts of the past, but we are more aware than ever that such discrimination exists even within ourselves, hopefully unconsciously. Unconscious or not, we need to realize that beyond being morally wrong, it can get us in serious professional trouble as agents and that it can also put our clients at risk, making it more important than ever that we educate our clients about the risks they could be facing.

Incorporated or Unincorporated? What’s the Difference?

It’s a common misconception that property taxes are lower in unincorporated areas than they are in an incorporated city or town.

Sales taxes are lower in unincorporated areas, since most cities have their own sales tax. If you register a new car in one of the cities with a sales tax, you’ll pay thousands that you wouldn’t pay in an unincorporated area.

Property taxes are another matter.

Take the City of Golden, for example.

The mill levy for the city is 12.34 mills.

If you have a Golden address but are not within the city itself, you have separate mill levies for county law enforcement, fire protection and quite possibly for water and park districts that can total more than Golden’s mill levy, which includes all those services. If you’re in a newer subdivision, you could have a big mill levy for a “metropolitan tax district” which was created by the developer to pay for infrastructure.

As pressure mounts around state, Jeffco hospitals have not reached capacity COVID-19 admissions at highest levels but hospitals continuing full operations

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the continuing surge in COVID-19 cases is pushing hospitals across the state to their capacity, officials from Jefferson County’s two major hospitals say they are also dealing with an increase in patients but so far continue to have sufficient resources to care for them.

At SCL Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge, President and CEO Grant Wicklund said that hospital has seen a “ramping up” in patients after COVID-19 admissions since the summer months, when admissions were down sharply from the start of the pandemic.

However, Wicklund said that hospital continues to “manage beds, supplies and staff carefully” and is, so far, not close to being overwhelmed.

“The fact is we haven’t seen more than we could handle,” said Wicklund. “We do have enough protective equipment; we have sufficient staff and we’ve got room for (the patients) so we are not drowning.”

Wicklund also said that Lutheran remains “well situated” to have the resources to adequately meet demand for the foreseeable future, even as staff are anticipating that they “will continue to see a lot of COVID-19 until the late spring.”

Lutheran’s emergency room is typi-

cally among the top or three busiest in the state and has developed an expertise in managing patient flow that has been helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.

“We just don’t see being overwhelmed here, we just don’t see it,” said Wicklund. “The number of COVID-19 patients could increase by another 50% and I think we would be fine. I don’t mean to say we are half empty but what I am saying is we have plans to be able to take care of it if it happens.”

St. Anthony “open for care” The situation is similar at Centura St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood, which spokesman Kevin Massey said is seeing an increase in both patients with COVID-19 and “those needing treatment who delayed care for serious conditions early in the pandemic.”

“At this time, Centura-St. Anthony Hospital is prepared to meet all needs of the community, remains open for care and continues to partner with our providers and frontline care-

givers to ensure those in our communities have access to urgent and emergent services,” Massey wrote in an email. “That said, our capacity is certainly not unlimited.”

Massey said the hospital is currently focused on making sure the hospital “has the staff available to meet the needs of COVID-19 patients and others needing emergency care.”

patients — recruiting nurses to come out of retirement and transitioning clinical and non-clinical individuals from less busy units to support our ICUs and other inpatient units.”

Staff tired but treatment improved As SCL Lutheran faces its highest number of new patients since the start of the pandemic, frontline nurse Paige Cunningham said she and other nurses are feeling tired but not letting it impact the care they provide.

“I think we are all just kind of exhausted,” Cunningham said. “When COVID-19 first came out it was ‘oh, if we can get through this first surge and people can wash their hands and wear a mask’ then we kind of had that glimmer of hope that people would take it serious and now we are on our third wave.”

Megan Nunnelly, who manages a COVID-19 unit at Lutheran, said the last few weeks have been challenging not only because of the increase in patients but because many patients have been showing up to the hospital sicker than they had for much of the pandemic. However, there also some positive trends compared to a few months ago, she said.

“In some ways it’s a little bit different then it was in the spring in that we are a little bit more prepared and know a little bit about the virus and can manage it a little bit better,” she said.

The spokespersons for both SCL Lutheran and Centura St. Anthony declined to provide specific details related to capacity and staffing levels,

which they said change frequently and are not a reliable view of their ability to care for patients.

“That is very much a moving target and is changing daily, if not hourly,” wrote Sarah Ellis, who manages communications for SCL Lutheran and recommended contacting the Colorado Hospital Association for a better look at the overall hospital situation across the metro area and state.

“Those things are being evaluated constantly.”

have also begun rejecting transfers from other surrounding states to preserve capacity.

Still, the increased pressure on Colorado hospitals is making it all the more important for Coloradoans to do their part, she said.

“That’s part of why we have been so vocal recently, in the last couple of days to say that we need Colorado to do their part because we are being pressure tested and we need Colora-

Hospitals under pressure statewide Julie Lonborg, the Senior Vice President of Communications and Media Relations at the CHA, said that “throughout the state, on any given day, we have hospitals that are being pressured tested on any given day.

However, Lonborg said Denver-area hospitals are experienced in managing situations where “all of a sudden you have more trauma patients then you have beds or resources have the capability to delay non-emergency surgeries, and also have agreements with in place to transfer patients as needed.

Because of that, Lonborg said the public can continue to have confidence that there will be a bed for them if they are in an emergency situation such as a car accident. Lonborg said some hospitals in Colorado

doans to do those things like socialdistancing and stopping the virus to ensure we can care for everybody,” she said.

That desire was echoed by Cunningham, who said she is hoping that efforts by her and other public health workers to be increasingly vocal will lead the public to reevaluate their behavior with the holidays fast approaching.

“I think for me just seeing on social media that people are still going to weddings and still having baby showers, that is some of the toughest things for me just because it’s real for us,” she said. “It’s not something that we can say is ‘media hype’ because we are seeing it every day. So for me that’s been the hardest and I think for a lot of my coworkers too ... we are just disheartened that people aren’t taking this seriously.”

Mental health services still available despite return to remote-learning Jeffco says school counselors and psychologists will help students virtually as the pandemic continues

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The return to remote learning in the Jeffco Public School District comes with hurdles for some families that go beyond math, science and reading — for students with mental health challenges, all the disruption and distance caused by most classrooms going remote are all the more intense.

The school district is quick to say that the support structure of teachers, counselors, psychologists and other school personnel are still at the service of the students and families who often depend on them to help maintain their well-being.

to conclude that stores like hers have been forced to shutter.

“We’re trying to raise awareness through Facebook and Instagram and everything to get people to know that yes, this is Level Red but it’s not a complete shutdown,” said Lusk. “But I think that people are probably going to stay away because they don’t feel safe.”

Mask up for Santa Concerns about safety are also leading retailers to take new approaches to the shopping experience. At Colorado Mills, 12 stores are offering curbside pickup and even that timeless mall holiday ritual — a photo with Santa — will look different.

“For everyone’s safety, this will be a socially distanced experience for our guests,” reads a description of this year’s Lights. Camera. Santa! experience on the Colorado Mills website, which also notes that both Santa and all guests will be required to wear masks. Reservations are also encouraged, though not required, this year.

Kim Spence, the owner of My Favorite Things in Belmar, is also expecting a slow holiday season at that store.

However, Spence said the culprit will be less the reluctance of shoppers to come out then

the impact of the recent rash of store closures that have hit the Lakewood shopping center since the start of the pandemic.

That growing list, which is made up mainly of corporately-owned retailers, includes Francesca’s, Victoria’s Secret, Lane Bryant, The Children’s Place and Sur La Table.

“If you go through Belmar it is mostly empty stores,” said Spence. “And it does have an impact on my store there.

Sales are down.”

The reason, however, that Spence is attributing that slowdown more to the state of

Belmar than the overall COVID environment is that her other All My Favorite Things store, which is located at the Aspen Grove shopping center in Littleton, is on track to double its sales from last year — despite the pandemic.

“I think that people are really making an effort to shop local instead of the big box stores and really support us,” said Spence. “That’s really encouraging.”

Lusk said her store has also experienced plenty of traffic from those going out of their way to support small businesses, which she very

much appreciates. However, she worries about the impact that the loss of holiday traffic drawn to events like the annual Candlelight Walk, which has been canceled.

“I don’t know if we are going to get that this year,” she said. “But then again one thing we have had this year is people coming out to shop just because they are bored of sitting at home.”

Also new this year has been a notable increase in the number of people coming out to shop for holiday gifts earlier in November. Such early shopping is something Lusk has

encouraged not only because it helps her business but also because of anticipated supply issues resulting from the virus.

“If you see something at my store or any store you should buy it because if it is gone we may not be able to get it back,” she said. “A lot of our vendors either are already out of stuff and can’t get new stuff or can’t get back ramped up again. I don’t know what we are going to look like a couple of weeks before Christmas so we have really been trying to emphasize the shopping early.”

“I ended up making my own anemometers as a kid out of coffee cans and Dixie cups,” he said. When Cooper turned 16, he began driving farther afield in search of interesting weather.

He’s been chasing weather and storms in Colorado and western Kansas and Nebraska ever since, and now does so inside a mini van that has been outfitted with a weather station that includes tools to measure humidity, temperature and UV level as an anemometer, which measures the speed and direction of the wind.

“It’s the thrill of the chase,” said Cooper of his enduring attraction to storm chasing. “There’s just nothing cooler than seeing a wall cloud out east INANCIAL AND TAX SERV PL E TE F IC COM SIN ES S A N D P R OF E SS I E S U B ONAL SMALL R S O F

Tornados and gusts Although Cooper has been in all kinds of weather, he says few experiences have matched driving straight into a tornado near Colby, Kansas two years ago.

Cooper said he and a companion were chasing a sever thunderstorm as it moved east when they broke out of the clouds to find “two little gust up tornadoes spinning on either side of us, about a football field away.”

“We outran (the storm) and got in front of it and ended up getting some just incredible pictures of when the sky turns a dark green and you can just feel the energy in the air from the storm,” said Cooper.

memorable weather outings came much closer to home near the intersection of highways 93 and 72, where Cooper was attempting to take a weather shot.

That’s when an 82-mile-per-hour wind gust came through and nearly knocked him over.

“That was one of the coolest things because you can’t predict when a wind gust is coming through,” he said. “You can just hope it comes through while you are doing a live video and it did. So that was pretty cool.”

For Cooper, the adrenaline of the chase outweighs any anxiety he might ever feel about his chases. However, his girlfriend, Willow Ball, admits to feeling nervous sometimes.

“I am sometimes,” she said. “But for the most part I know he’s happy and I don’t want to interfere.”

The page, which features frequent updates about Golden weather in addition to videos and photos from his chases, has 669 followers and was recently featured on CBS4 News.

In addition to storms, Cooper has also begun using the page to document local wildfires, including the East Troublesome fire that became one of the most destructive in Colorado history. Cooper drove up to Estes Park to document the fire and its aftermath last month.

Honoring the women of World War II ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

T

welve years ago this week we lost my mom on her 89th birthday. My dad had passed seven years earlier. Along with so many others who are leaving us, my parents were members of the Greatest Generation (after Tom Brokaw’s 1998 book), generally defined as people born from 1901 to 1927, shaped by the Great Depression and primary participants in World War II. And so it was that both of my parents served in WWII, Staff Sergeant Dant Slack in Italy and in North Africa with General Patton’s forces, and Tech Sergeant Rosemary

Slack in the Philippines and the Pacific. My dad left Tulane to enlist, and my mother joined after Pearl Harbor. (They met after the war.)

My dad would tell heartwarming stories, such as about the dog they had in camp. My mom’s service was marred by the death of her mother in Chicago while she was away. Each only spoke occasionally about the war.

I applaud and am in awe of these two most normal-seeming people who held me so close.

I look at the black-and-white photos that have survived and I try to imagine what these two

N

young people sacrificed for their country – and for the victims of incredible hatred, g cruelty and atrocity. w Both my mother and my father were laid to a rest – with thanks from a grateful nation – at A Fort Logan National Cemetery. They share p a headstone … my dad’s name on the front a because he passed first, and my mom’s on the a back. As a veteran in her own right, she could t have chosen an individual site, but early on decided to lie with my dad. a SEE DORAY, P13

g t t I r s t j i 1: Well, she’s in the room with o the rest of them. But hasn’t e looked up at the box even once. c She’s staring at that thing in her a hands.

C 2: Oh, yes. Well, she is what they call a “teenager,” and, ap- s parently, they make up a strange and unpredictable subset of the species. That thing in her hands is her portal to her world. All of her friends … well, both of them, anyway … are in that little thing, all day long.

1. Okay. What about the, the … what do these people call the smaller version?

2. The “child?”

1. Yes, the child. He’s in the room, but he’s not staring at the box.

2. No. Actually, he has no interest in the lives of the people in that box. He’s more interested in fate of the strange, holographic people that he controls in the box that’s in his room.

1. So, why is he here?

2. Apparently, because togetherness is good.

And, yeah, this is what passes for togetherness these days.

Think about this: exactly 40 years ago Saturday (November 21, 1980), 83 *million* Americans watched the same television show. And no, it wasn’t the Super Bowl — it was the “Who Shot J.R.” episode of “Dallas.”

By contrast, the only television show (non-Super Bowl) to garner more than 20 million American viewers last year was a Sunday Night Football game.

Once upon a time, when we were limited in our technology, we had a sort of common cultural language, for better or for worse. Every American

Our healthcare providers would like to spend a relaxing day with their families too but they are busy and exhausted

from caring for people too selfish to stay home or even wear masks. It would be wise to do what you can to protect the people who work to save your lives.

There are no rights without responsibilities.

Guiding lights in this uncertain holiday season AVENUE FLASHES

ow that the Holiday Season is in full swing, I’m sure most people are wondering what’s going to happen with a lot of our traditional activities here in Golden and whether or not they are going to be canceled. Like most things we have experienced during 2020, the answer is not a simple “yes” or “no”.

A lot of events we experienced in the past are just not going to happen at all, some of them are going full steam ahead with a different approach and there’s even something new this year.

First of all, you can count on almost any holiday concert involving large groups of people being canceled or going to a Zoom type of format. It’s just impossible for large performing groups to even be in the same room together, let alone find a place where they can host an audience safely.

In some cases, the current COVID restrictions limit audiences to groups smaller than the number of people in the actual orchestra or choir. In fact, just assembling the performing group in one room may constitute a violation of these restrictions, so that makes even a virtual performance quite a challenge.

One group that is going to attempt a Zoom concert is the Golden Concert Choir. They have put together a seasonal program that brings them right

into your home and also enables them to do a silent auction to raise some funds to keep the organization going. It’s happening on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 4-5 p.m.

For more information and to purchase a ticket to enable you to view the concert, go to www.goldenconJohn Akal certchoir.org One of my favorite Golden traditions has always been the Candlelight Walk and the official lighting of the downtown lights and tree. Of course, having a group of thousands of people, which is what usually shows up for this event, mulling around together is impossible this year but that’s not going to stop us from having our Mayor, Laura Weinberg, from throwing the official switch to light the lights. She’ll just be doing it remotely from home this year. That’s going to happen at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4. After that, or on any night through December and half of January, you and your family can grab a cup of coffee from one of our downtown coffee shops or just bring a thermos of hot chocolate with you and take a stroll along Clear Creek to enjoy

Servicewomen were so vital to the war effort that General (and later President) Dwight D. Eisenhower told Congress that when women’s units were first proposed, “I was violently against it.” But, he added, “Every phase of the record they compiled during the war convinced me of the error of my first reaction.” Eisenhower went on to fight for a permanent place for women in the U.S. Armed Forces.

I’ve never served, and I salute those who have served and who continue to serve. I salute those who will choose this honorable occupation. And I salute you, Mom, and you, Dad, for the sacrifices you made for the country you loved so much, and for the liberties and safety of your fellow citizens of the world.

On occasions such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day, volunteers plant small flags at the gravesites. However, because my mom’s name is on the back of the headstone – as spouses usually are – her service is often overlooked for this recognition, which has led me to reflect that the women of WWII do not sufficiently receive their due.

During the war, approximately 400,000 U.S. women served with the armed forces in the Army and Navy Nurse Corps, Women’s Army Corps (WAC), the Navy (WAVES), Coast Guard (SPARs) and Marine Corps Women’s Reserves.

My mother was a WAC, and worked in communications. Women also drove trucks, repaired airplanes, worked as lab technicians, rigged parachutes, flew military aircraft across the country and even trained anti-aircraft artillery gunners by acting as flying targets.

We have a multitude more choices now for what we ingest for entertainment; but, to a great degree, all those choices are doing is increasing the disconnectedness of society.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Technology is not the problem — it is just a tool. It’s how we’re using that tool that is the problem.

As we enter PanShutdown 2.0, and the Holiday Season, let’s be smarter.

the Winter Wonderland Walk that the lights create when reflected from the frozen river and local downtown shop windows along the way. It’s kind of a combination of a new and old Golden tradition that is a great way to entertain your family for an evening.

Another one of our holiday events that is going to be happening, but in an altered state, is Christmas in the History Park. That usually coincides with the night the lights are lit and the Candlelight Walk, but this year it’s happening on the following night, Saturday, Dec. 5. This is when the little village comes to life with the buildings lit up and folks in period costume there to tell the story of how things were in 1800’s Golden. That’s usually a free event, but this year, due to the aforementioned restrictions, they have to do things a little differently. Your going to need to buy tickets in advance and pick a time when you want to go.

They are anticipating that people will be spending about a half hour there and limiting things to 75 people allowed in the park at a time. So, they have tickets available for three time slots, 5-5:30 p.m., 5:30-6 p.m., and 6-6:30 p.m.. It’s sponsored by the Golden History Museum and Park and all money raised goes to supporting that organization. Tickets run $3 for members, $5 for non-members and kids 4 and under

are admitted free. The Golden History Park is located at 1020 11th Street and for more information as well as to order tickets, go to www.goldenhistory. org and click on “Events.”

Although the Candlelight Walk is cancelled this year, that doesn’t mean that we won’t be lighting things up with candles. Something new this year is Candlelight Nights: Be Merry, Be Bright, Share Your Golden Light.

All residents of Golden are invited to participate by placing candles in your windows throughout the holiday season to show some Golden community solidarity. It kind of takes the place of howling at 8 p.m. every night. It’s recommended that you use some of those electric candles so you don’t burn your house down and they even offer a free commemorative one that you can get by calling the Golden Chamber of Commerce at (303) 279-3113 or be stopping by On Tap Credit Union (while supplies last) at 816 Washington Ave. I like this idea. Hopefully it will start a new annual tradition around here.

s it has with nearly everything in 2020, the novel coronavirus intends to have its say in how you spend your holidays. But for those willing to brave the elements, to dial back expectations or perhaps even celebrate in the virtual realm, the metro area still has plenty of options to keep the spirit of the season alive.

Social distancing and masking will continue to be the order of the day and many events will be scaled back to follow community guidelines, but most of the celebrations people in the area know and love are forging ahead. Here’s a list of several options that just jingle your bells.

Zoo Lights Zoo Lights is celebrating its 30th season. Spanning more than 80 acres, this annual holiday event turns the Denver Zoo into a sparkling wonderland filled with more than a million lights. Tickets are available online. A limit of five tickets per purchase is in place to comply with city and county safety mandates. Zoo lights will be closed Christmas Day. During the holidays, the zoo will close at 5 p.m., with

entry gates closing at 3:30 p.m. and reopening at 5 p.m. for Zoo Lights.

Though no specifics are given, their website says there will be “a host of special measures to keep your family safe and healthy.”

capacity and timed tickets, social distancing and mask requirements for anyone 3 years and older. Santa, Mrs. Claus, the reindeer, hayrides and crafts won’t be part of the festivities this year.

Blossoms of Light Blossoms of Light, the signature holiday event at Denver Botanic Gardens’ York Street location, has delighted visitors for over three decades. Billed as “a dazzling and ever-changing display of light and color,” this year’s event will require visitors to follow COVID-19 precautions. Masks will be required for anyone over 3 years old, capacity limitations will be in place and social distancing is requested.

Christkindl Market The Denver Christkindl Market offers an authentic German holiday experience in Civic Center Park. According to their website, this year’s event will offer opportunities to meet St. Nikolaus, Krampus and the Christkind (the traditional Christmas gift-bearer in parts of Germany and Austria). There will also be food, drinks, live entertainment and shopping with a decidedly European flair. Local Colorado and international merchants will be on hand to sell artisan gifts and holiday treats.

Running Nov. 20 through Dec. 23, the Denver Christkindl Market will operate Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays through Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Starting December 16-23 the Market will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Trail of Lights Trail of Lights at Chatfield Farms, a rural part of the Botanic Gardens family, gives visitors a choice of two illuminated paths glistening with holiday lights. According to their website, this year’s event will feature synchronized music in the children’s play area, a three-sided light tunnel and a display of illuminated antique and model tractors.

Refreshments will be available for purchase. Covid-19 restrictions will be in place, including limited

as the first time you really thought about space when you were gathered around a campfire, looking at a night sky pocked with stars? The redesigned Space Odyssey at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science has something for that. Or maybe it was because of an entry into Star Trek, Star Wars or some other science fiction story? The exhibit has you covered COMING well. Perhaps ATTRACTIONS as it was through experimentation in science class at school? Boy, does Space Odyssey have something for you.

In other words, no matter how a person developed a fascination Clarke Reader with the mysteries of space, the exhibit — which reopened at the museum, 2001 Colorado Blvd. in Denver, on Nov. 13 — contains something that will interest and inspire.

“In its new design, the guiding theme was, `How do we know what we know about space?’” explained Naomi Pequette, astrophysicist and experience developer at the museum. “We have the exhibit broken into different knowledge orbits that find unique ways to explore a variety of questions and topics.”

The redesign has been in the works for years, and was largely guided by community engagement — from both museum regulars and those who haven’t visited in a while, she added. And all that feedback led to developers to take innovative and interactive approaches to the exhibit’s displays.

One of these new approaches can be seen right when entering Space Odyssey — a campfire where visitors can gather and learn about traditional and living indigenous knowledge of the night sky and Earth origins. And those looking to get a taste of what it’s like to be at a spacecraft launch won’t want to miss the new launch simulator.

“One new feature we’re particularly excited about is My Role in Space, where we partnered with 18 professionals from around the world,” Pequette said. “Guests take a quiz and it pairs them with someone who does a job that fits with their personality. This allows us to show the diversity of people who work in a variety of fields, including software engineer, astronaut and more.”

Following public input, staff realized science fiction is an entry point for so many and that imagination is crucially important to scientific discovery. That resulted in the Fantasy Spaceship, which uses elements of the genre any fan will recognize to get guests’ creativity and problem-solving skills firing on all cylinders.

This year, with COVID-19 restrictions in place and large crowds gathering together no longer an option, the event has shifted gears and reinvented itself as a hybrid digital and mail delivery version of the fictional campground. In a video introduction, Hanzon says “We’ve packed the joy, sparkle and magic of Camp Christmas into an interactive holiday experience that delivers curated crafts, activities and adventures directly to your home and imagination.” Camp Christmas runs through Jan. 5, 2021 and potential campers can begin their adventure on the Camp Christmas website at www. camp-christmas.com.

I’d be hard pressed to think of a better example of that this year than “Ted Lasso.”

Jason Sudeikis is the best he’s ever been as an American football coach who gets hired to take over a Premier League soccer team in London by Rebecca Welton (a superb Hannah Waddingham). As Lasso tries to find his feet in his new gig, he brings his unflappable optimism to every interaction he has. The cast is uniformly great, and it has several layers of humor baked-in to a perfect balance, just like a good biscuit.

Colorado Gives Day a chance to strengthen community STAFF REPORT

The best day of the year for charitable giving in Colorado is Dec. 8, and there are many community groups throughout Jefferson County that could benefit.

Colorado Gives Day, a one-day online event, is sponsored by Community First Foundation and FirstBank. Both contribute $500,000 to create a $1 million incentive fund. Every nonprofit receiving a donation on Colorado

Gives Day receives a portion of the fund, which increases the value of every dollar donated.

You can go to www.coloradogives. org/ and search for organizations that serve your area or issue of choice. You can set up a donation ahead of time, to automatically be sent on Colorado Gives Day as well, ensuring donation dollars have maximum impact.

Here are a few suggestions for different community organizations that would appreciate being considered

this Colorado Gives Day. Athena Project This area organization inspiries and highlights women and the art they create. It partners with area schools, and has continued to host Zoom events and hold art compeitions to keep art alive and thriving, even during a pandemic.

Honor Bell Foundation Based in Wheat Ridge, this foundation pays respectful tribute to veterans

at their funerals. A donation to this group helps the families of veterans know their loved one is appreciated.

Westernaires This equestrian youth program is a mainstay of Jefferson County, participating in events and parades across the state every year, giving children and teen, especially those who might not be able to otherwise interact with horses, the chance to learn how to ride and perform with horses.

Denver Christkindl Market is rare holiday holdout Fixture of season returns downtown as pandemic has limited number of celebrations

BY HANNAH METZGER THE DENVER GAZETTE

As one of the city’s last remaining holiday celebrations, the Denver Christkindl Market is trying to keep the magic alive for the community while supporting small businesses.

The annual event has brought German and European holiday traditions to Denver for 20 years with local and international small business vendors.

And it’s one of the city’s only celebrations not canceled by COVID-19.

“People are out here to support the market. They want to make sure we can come back next year,” said William Reed with the German-American Chamber of Commerce, which runs the market.

This year, the market was moved from Skyline Park to a 60,000-squarefoot section of Civic Center Park to allow for social distancing and a one-way directional flow. The market is also imposing 75-guest maximum capacity in each of its two zones.

Reed said the market is now almost always at capacity with people regularly waiting up to an hour and a half on the weekends just to enter.

Besides just holiday fun, this year the market is also providing essential funds for numerous small businesses.

Astrid Hausdoerfer organizes ornaments at the Old German Christmas booth at the Denver Christkindl Market at Civic Cent Park in Denver on Nov. 24. The annual authentic German and European holiday traditional market is hosted by the German American Chamber of Commerce and features local and international vendors.

PHOTO BY CHANCEY BUSH/THE GAZETTE

The market hosts dozens of small businesses including Björn’s Honey, Unique Glass Ornaments, Chocoidea, Corey’s Chocolate, Winterborn Alpaca, Burton’s Maplewood Farms, Travel Posters, Wise Elk and Bob’s Roasted Nuts.

Bob Stephens with Bob’s Roasted Nuts said the Christkindl Market is his business’s only event this year that hasn’t been cancelled.

“We are very thankful to have the opportunity to make a living and have some sense of normalcy throughout the holiday season,” said Stephens, who has participated in the market since 2011.

This is the first year that Corey’s Chocolate has been a part of the market. Corey Crespi said his 3-year-old

business relies on in-person events like farmers markets and festivals to get by.

“This market is very important to us,” Crespi said. “We have invested significantly in this market and we believe it will be a huge success … We are excited to be vendors in such a well-established and successful Christmas market.”

However, the market is still facing challenges.

Luca Modolo from Chocoidea said his sales are down 50% compared to last year. He said Chocoidea’s sales during the market are of “vital importance” to the business’s success.

The Germany-based chocolate store has been traveling to Denver since 2017 to participate in the market.

“I had extreme difficulties and

risked a lot … to be able to be present in Denver,” Modolo said. “It took considerable efforts, not only economic.”

Bob’s Roasted Nuts also expressed trouble with not being allowed to pass out samples due to COVID-19. And Wise Elk said it was very difficult for them to find staff this year because of fear of contact.

The success of this year’s market could make or break the market’s ability to return in future years. And for some, that would mean devastating the culture of Denver.

Astrid and Mario Hausdoerfer from Unique Glass Ornaments said to them, the market is about preserving tradition.

The Hausdoerfers have sold their handmade German glass ornaments at the market since 2009. They have watched the market grow year by year and are always enamored by watching people experience their culture.

“Our markets are more than a place to have an income,” the Hausdoerfers said. “The main thing is we can keep our five-generation tradition of glassblowing. We can keep a very old profession.”

“We can have a flourishing city only if we use it. So come out to the Christkindl Market to keep traditions.”

The Christkindl Market market will be open until Dec. 23. Admission is free.

The market is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Beginning Dec. 17, it will close at 9 p.m. every day.

Momentum changer propels Creek past Pomona Last-second touchdown before half deflates Panthers in 5A state semifinals

BY MICHAEL HICKS MHICKS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

GREENWOOD VILLAGE — All Chase Penry was looking for was a shot. A chance the 6-foot-2, 200-pound senior wide receiver almost didn’t get, but a holding penalty by his team opened the door.

Top-seeded Cherry Creek was clinging to a seven-point lead with just 30 seconds left before halftime and the ball at its 39-yard line. Four plays and a penalty later, the Bruins — forced out of field-goal range — were staring at a desperation heave into the end zone from the Pomona 39.

That’s when Penry and Bruins quarterback Julian Hammond drew up some magic. Their 39-yard hookup on the last play of the first half netted Cherry Creek a two-touchdown lead that quickly turned into a lopsided 35-7 5A state football semifinal victory over Pomona on the afternoon of Nov. 28 at the Stutler Bowl.

“I told coach just give me an opportunity. We took a shot and I was able to make a play,” Penry said. “I’m just very thankful. It was a great ball, and I just had to go up and make a play.”

The win sets up the Bruins (8-0), the defending state champions who’ve won 22 straight games, for a rematch with Valor Christian in the 5A state title game. The Eagles won the 2018 meeting 24-14, which also was the last time Cherry Creek has been defeated.

“Obviously, the score right before halftime was huge,” said Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan, who will be looking for his ninth state championship and third with the Bruins. “The pass to Chase completely flipped the emotions. Then, we scored on the opening possession (of the second half). All of the sudden a 14-7 game is 28-7.”

Pomona receiver Isaiah Alvarez weaves his way around the Cherry Creek defense late in the first half.

PHOTOS BY MICHAEL HICKS Any momentum the Panthers (7-1) had after senior quarterback Jack Pospisil hit junior wideout Isaiah Alvarez for a 17-yard score just minutes earlier had evaporated. Scoring 21, much less 28 points, against Cherry Creek’s vaunted defense was going to be virtually impossible. The Bruins had given up just 34 points all season entering the game and no more than 14 in any contest — and that was to Smoky Hill in the season opener. “(The) touchdown at the end of the first half really took the wind out of our sails,” Pomona coach Jay Madden said. “We knew we were playing a great team. To get within 14-7 at halftime, we were so excited. Then to have it go 21-7, we knew scoring 21 points against that defense was going to be a hard, hard thing to do. They had a great game plan and they executed it.”

Pomona, the No. 4 seed, struggled to get its footing offensively for much of the contest. The Panthers had just 38 yards of offense before their six-play, 53-yard TD drive late in the first half.

The second half wasn’t any better as Cherry Creek held them to just 33 yards.

On the flip side, the Bruins had a balanced attack. Hammond completed 19-of-23 passes for 221 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 30-yarder to tight end Gunnar Helm. Running backs Myles Purchase and James Walker combined for 27 carries for 230

“Our coaches put in a great game plan. They put a lot of time into it,” Penry said. “We were really balanced this week running and throwing. We took our shots when we needed, and we were able to run the ball even when they knew we were going to run the ball.”

Even so, Logan complimented the Panthers’ grit.

“I’ve been on the other end,” Logan said. “… It makes it look like the score was not indicative of how hard-fought that game was. This was a hardfought, physical game.”

The loss ended a perfect season for Pomona (7-1), but doesn’t take away from the fact that the Panthers were in the 5A state semifinals for the fifth time in six years — a stretch that included three straight championship game appearances, including a title in 2017.

“I couldn’t be prouder of our football team if we’d had won the national championship,” said Madden, whose team has lost five straight to Cherry Creek, including a 14-7 decision in the 2019 semifinals. “This team overachieved, maximized our potential.

They did everything you could ever ask for as a coach.”

Loveland football upsets top-seed Dakota Ridge to reach 4A state title

ENGLEWOOD — Loveland’s historically rich football program is heading to its 15th state championship game.

The No. 4-seeded Indians upset top-seed Dakota Ridge 20-14 at Randy Penn Stadium on the campus of Englewood High School on Nov. 28 in the Class 4A state semifinal.

“We’ve been in dogfights before. It’s nothing new to us,” Loveland senior Zack Rakowsky said moments after the final horn sounded. “Dakota Ridge is a really tough opponent.

We knew if we played our kind of football we’d walk out of here with a win.”

Loveland (8-0 record) scored touchdowns on its first three offensive possessions against Dakota Ridge — 4A Jeffco League champions — to jump out to a 20-7 lead midway through the second quarter. Junior Tyson Williams finished off the open-

ing drive of the game with a 12-yard touchdown run to cap off an 80-yard, 10-play drive.

Following a quick scoring drive by Dakota Ridge (7-1) that was capped off by a 3-yard touchdown catch by senior Cavica Wilkerson from quarterback Ben Gultig, the Indians answered again with another 80-yard scoring drive.

Loveland sophomore quarterback Garrett Harstad scored from 2 yards out to give the Indians a 13-7 lead.

“Loveland did a good job of running the ball,” Dakota Ridge coach Ron Woitalewicz said. “We couldn’t get a stop in the first half.”

The Eagles had scored on 13 consecutive drives dating back to their state quarterfinal victory a week ago when they went 12-for-12, but Loveland ended that streak forcing Dakota Ridge to punt with just under 8 minutes left in the second quarter.

The next play would be the biggest offensive play of the game for Loveland. Rakowsky took an inside

handoff and raced into the end zone for a 73-yard run to extend Loveland’s lead to 20-7.

“The momentum after that, you could feel it on our sideline,” Rakowsky said of the longest play from scrimmage of the game. “It was just great blocking. I wasn’t even touched.

I thank my offensive line for that.”

Rakowsky carried the offensive load for the Indians with over 20 carries for nearly 200 yards on the ground.

Both defenses found their footing in the second half. In fact, the only score after halftime came on an 87-yard punt return for a touchdown by Dakota Ridge junior Dante Capolungo with 6:40 left in the fourth quarter to cut Loveland’s lead to 20-14.

“I thought it was going out of bounds, but then it took that one hop and from there I knew I was off,” Capolungo said. “I was able to get the touchdown to flip the game and the SEE UPSET, P23

momentum. We had a chance.”

Dakota Ridge did have a golden opportunity after the Eagles’ defense forced a 3-and-out by Loveland. The Eagles took over on their 41-yard line with 4:21 remaining. However, after getting an initial first-down Dakota Ridge’s drive stalled.

Loveland junior Ian Loomis sacked Gultig on a 4th-down play to give the ball back to the Indians. Loveland managed one more first-down run by Rakowsky and ran out the clock to end the game.

“It is just so thrilling,” Loomis said of his monster sack that ended the Eagles’ final offensive drive. “On fourth downs that is my best time.

Fourth downs just get my going and I just go through the line.”

Loomis had a key sack in the third quarter that ended another Dakota Ridge drive.

“I really thought it would be our defense that was going to win this game,” Loomis said. “I think we put them in uncomfortable positions.”

Loveland is now back in a familiar position, play for another state title.

The Indians have a 7-7 record in state championship games. Loveland’s last title came just two years ago in 2018 where the Indians defeated Skyline.

Palmer Ridge — a powerhouse in 3A before moving up to 4A this season — will be Loveland’s opponent in the 4A

e

title game next week. The Bears (6-0) defeated Fountain-Fort Carson 28-12 in the other 4A semifinal Saturday afternoon.

“I think we are ready for it,” Loomis said of the upcoming 4A title game against Palmer Ridge. “We were so motivated coming into this game facing the No. 1 team. I think we’ll come in and beat Palmer Ridge.”

The Eagles were trying to head to their first state title game since 2004.

Dakota Ridge lost to ThunderRidge 3529 in the 4A state championship game 16 years ago.

“I’m so proud of these kids because they gave up a lot,” Woitalewicz said.

“They sacrificed social time. They all went remote (learning) so they didn’t get quarantined. They didn’t hang out with friends. They really sacrificed so they could have this season. We knew these season would be special.”

Woitalewicz’s 2019 squad came within seconds of advancing to the title game last season. Broomfield defeated Dakota Ridge 17-15 with a last-second field goal at Jeffco Stadium. The crushing defeat has definitely motivated this year’s senior-laden team.

“These seniors were great leaders.

They set a high standard for us to come back next year,” Capolungo said of Dakota Ridge’s back-to-back state semifinal appearances. “They showed all us young guys how to be a complete team.”
