2020 Hindsight A final look back at a most unprecedented year STAFF REPORT

Well, what can we say? 2020 will surely be a year no Jeffco resident who lived through it will soon forget — no matter how much we might want to. So, before we (finally) say good riddance, lets take one last look back at the events that defined one of the most wild, and difficult, years the county has ever seen.

Now hand over a party horn and

bring on 2021, a year which we hope will be memorable for some altogether different — and more positive — reasons. Because if there is one thing 2020 has taken from us, it’s our hope for better times ahead.

Fairgrounds saved from budget-cut closure

Amid criticism of its Grab and Go meals program, and in a move to be more nimble in providing food aid to students during the return to athome learning, Jeffco schools rolled out a bus delivery pilot program Dec. 21.

This new addition to the distribution model provides another way for families and students to pick up Grab and Go breakfast and lunch packages.

According to Jeffco Schools’ Executive Director, Food and Nutrition Services, Beth Wallace, the bus delivery program launched with three routes, with each bus making three to six stops per route. Each student received 14 meals (seven breakfasts, seven lunches). The first route covered the Arvada area, making six stops and serving 68 students. A second route delivered in the Bear Creek area, making three stops and serving 32 students, and the third route covered the Eiber Elementary area, making five stops, serving 65 students. The program will expand to a total of seven bus delivery routes on Jan. 7, 2021.

Wallace said partnering with the district’s transportation department and Title I group, allowed her department to pin point the best areas for the routes.

As of now, the District will continue bus meal service on scheduled days of service while in the remote learning model, which is schedule to end on January 19, 2021 for SEE SCHOOLS, P5

Jeffco COVID-19 numbers improving, but not yet enough to move county out of Level Red Move would allow restaurants to reopen dining rooms at 25% capacity

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Although new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Jeffco were continuing to decrease heading into Christmas, the county’s numbers were not yet where they need to be to move out of Level Red, the second most restrictive level on the state COVID-19 dial.

According to the most recent guidance issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, a county qualifies to be moved into Level Orange when it is seeing 175-350 new cases per 100,000 people, its test positivity rate is at 15% or less and its hospitalization rate is either stable or declining over a twoweek period.

A county’s hospitalization rate is defined as stable if it has seen no greater than a 25% increase in the county’s referral hospitals or no more than two new hospital admissions with COVID-19 in the most recent two-week period.

Dec. 17 that some, but not all, of the county’s numbers were currently consistent with the indicators for Level Orange. However, the county cannot begin the process of consulting with CPDHE about a move to Level Orange until all of the metrics have been met for at least two weeks, she said.

“We’re watching our numbers closely, as well as the trends and potential spikes around the holidays, and we’ll continue to update our community as the situation progresses,” said Billings.

Still too many new cases for move

As of Dec. 17, the county test positivity rate was

9.7%, which would qualify Jeffco for Level Orange.

However, the county had seen 585.7 new cases per 100,000 residents over the prior two weeks, which is still well above the 350 or fewer cases per two-week number needed to qualify for the improved color ranking.

Still, the trend is an encouraging one as that two-week number was down significantly from the 822.8 cases per 100,000 people the county had seen over the two weeks ending on Dec. 16 and nearly half the 1061.2 cases per 100,000 people the county saw for the two weeks ending on Nov. 25,

when new cases peaked in Jeffco.

Hospitalizations were also decreasing, with Jeffco hospitals reporting that about 72% of their staff ICU beds were full, as of Dec. 17. That was down from a week earlier, when Jeffco hospitals reported their ICUS were at 90% capacity, but slightly higher than the 70% number across the entire metro area reporting on Dec. 10.

A move to Level Orange would allow restaurants to reopen indoor dining at 25% while gyms and officers would also be able to increase their capacity. In-person learning is also suggested by the state for counties in Level Orange.

Officials excited about vaccine

During the town hall, JCPH medical director Mark B. Johnson said JCPH officials are “so excited about the arrival of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in Jefferson County and very hopeful about what it means both for our response and the recovery from this pandemic.”

However, Johnson said it will likely take several months for the vaccines to be made available to the general public and that it is important that the public continue with social distancing, mask wearing and frequent handwashing until that happens, even once the vaccine is obtained.

“It’s important to continue with these steps because there are some things we do not yet know about the vaccination and one of those is that even though it may protect you

if you do get the virus you may still be able to spread it to others,” Johnson said.

“That’s something that’s still being studied.”

Johnson said the public should also know that the FDA has gone through a rigorous approval process to study both vaccines, including trials on both animals and people, and no serious safety concerns have been reported.

“You’ve probably heard that there are some side effects such as mild fever, chills, body aches, pain and redness of the injection site, perhaps some nausea and fatigue,” said Johnson. “Most of those last only one or two days and that is actually a good sign — it shows your body is reacting to the vaccine and actually creating antibodies.”

On Dec. 18, the state debuted a new Five Star program that counties can implement to allow restaurants and other businesses that implement stricter safety measures than currently required by public health guidelines to accelerate their reopening. A similar program has already been operating in Mesa County.

However, county manager Don Davis said the most recent report card the county received from CDPHE showed the county is not currently qualified to implement the program based on the criteria laid out by

the state.

“We’ve also received the requirements and guidance for how we can implement it once we are qualified,” said Davis.

“In the meantime, we are going to be working with our Jeffco business partners and municipalities to examine this program and its feasibility.”

According to the CDPHE website, a county in Level Red is eligible to implement the program “only if a county has had a two-week sustained decline in incidence, hospitalizations, and a percent positivity under 10% or improving over the last 2 weeks.”

National Association of Realtors Promotes “Pathways to Professionalism”

As you are probably aware, members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) are sworn to abide by the Realtor Code of Ethics. It’s what separates them from the men and women who are licensed to practice real estate but choose not to pay roughly $500 in annual dues to be a member of the local, state and national Realtor association.

Golden Real Estate requires all its broker associates to join the local Realtor association, which automatically enrolls them in the Colorado Association of Realtors and NAR. Most of us are members of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, although agents have the choice of which local Realtor association to join.

In additional to the Code of Ethics, is the voluntary and lesser known “Pathways to Professionalism.” It is a collection of recommended courtesies which all Realtors should embrace, as we certainly do at Golden Real Estate. Here are those courtesies, broken down into three categories. It should be noted that failure to practice these courtesies cannot form

the basis of a complaint by fellow Realtors or members of the public. Here they are, highlighting ones I particularly like: Respect for the Public 1) Follow the "Golden Rule”: Do unto other as you would have them do unto you.

2) Respond promptly to inquiries and requests for information.

3) Schedule appointments and showings as far in advance as possible.

4) Call if you are delayed or must cancel an appointment or showing.

5) If a prospective buyer decides not to view an occupied home, promptly explain the situation to the listing broker or the occupant.

6) Communicate with all parties in a timely fashion.

7) When entering a property ensure that unexpected situations, such as pets, are handled appropriately.

8) Leave your business card if not prohibited by local rules.

9) Never criticize property in the pres-

Fewer Sellers Are Attempting For Sale by Owner There will always be people who are comfortable with selling their home without the assistance of a real estate professional. In 2019, 8% of sellers chose the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) approach, down from 2018’s record low of 7%.

Here are some of the things with which you need to be comfortable if you choose the FSBO approach for selling your home.

Commissions: Yes, you will save on commissions, but not as much as you probably think. The average listing commission is lower than the 6% you may have been told, and that listing commission includes the “co-op” commission paid to the buyer’s agent. In our market, that co-op commission is typically 2.8%.

Since most buyers choose to have an agent who will expect that 2.8%, you can expect that you won’t be able to save more than 3% on commission expense.

You need to calculate whether selling without professional representation of your own is worth that reduced savings.

Net proceeds: It’s possible that you won’t get as high a price for your home without the marketing advantage of being listed on the MLS, which could attract multiple offers and even a bidding war.

Having made that bottom-line calculation, here are some other matters to be considered by the unrepresented seller.

Showings: How will you handle showings, including screening those who will be walking through your home? This is handled by ShowingTime, the service utilized by virtually all agents in the Denver market. They make sure that only licensed agents are approved for showings. All licensed agents have been fingerprinted and passed a background check. In two decades of listing homes, I’ve never had an incident of theft or other crime associated with an agent showing of my listings.

Your time: Another consideration is the convenience of showings. Yes, you could purchase a lockbox and allow agent showings you trust to show your home, but you’ll need to be home to accommodate buyers who don’t have an agent.

Feedback: Another service provided

by ShowingTime is obtaining feedback after each showing, which is then forwarded to both seller and agent.

Other considerations: I elaborate on other topics, including disclosures, legal requirements, the negotiation of multiple offers, etc., at www.GoldenREblog.com.

ence of the occupant.

10) Inform occupants that you are leaving after showings.

11) When showing an occupied home, always ring the doorbell or knock— and announce yourself loudly before entering. Knock and announce yourself loudly before entering any closed room.

12) Present a professional appearance at all times; dress appropriately and drive a clean car.

13) If occupants are home during showings, ask their permission before using the telephone or bathroom.

14) Encourage the clients of other brokers to direct questions to their agent or representative.

15) Communicate clearly; don’t use jargon or slang that may not be readily understood.

16) Be aware of and respect cultural differences.

17) Show courtesy and respect to everyone.

18) Be aware of—and meet—all deadlines.

19) Promise only what you can deliver—and keep your promises.

20) Identify your REALTOR® and your professional status in contacts with the public.

21) Do not tell people what you think— tell them what you know.

Respect for Property 1) Be responsible for everyone you allow to enter listed property.

2) Never allow buyers to enter listed property unaccompanied.

3) When showing property, keep all members of the group together.

4) Never allow unaccompanied access to property without permission.

5) Enter property only with permission even if you have a lockbox key or combination.

6) When the occupant is absent, leave the property as you found it (lights, heating, cooling, drapes, etc.) If you think something is amiss (e.g. van-

dalism), contact the listing broker immediately.

7) Be considerate of the seller's property. Do not allow anyone to eat, drink, smoke, dispose of trash, use bathing or sleeping facilities, or bring pets. Leave the house as you found it unless instructed otherwise.

8) Use sidewalks; if weather is bad, take off shoes and boots inside property.

9) Respect sellers’ instructions about photographing or videographing their properties’ interiors or exteriors.

Respect for Peers 1) Identify your REALTOR® and professional status in all contacts with other REALTORS®.

2) Respond to other agents' calls, faxes, and e-mails promptly and courteously.

3) Be aware that large electronic files with attachments or lengthy faxes may be a burden on recipients.

4) Notify the listing broker if there appears to be inaccurate information on the listing.

5) Share important information about a property, including the presence of pets, security systems, and whether sellers will be present during the showing.

6) Show courtesy, trust, and respect to other real estate professionals.

7) Avoid the inappropriate use of endearments or other denigrating language.

8) Do not prospect at other REALTORS®' open houses or similar events.

9) Return keys promptly.

10) Carefully replace keys in the lockbox after showings.

11) To be successful in the business, mutual respect is essential.

12) Real estate is a reputation business.

What you do today may affect your reputation—and business—for years to come.

Helping Lakewood’s most in need

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Long, cold nights of winter are here again. As snow falls and COVID-19 infection rates rise, Princess Griffin’s job gets more complicated.

Griffin, a Homeless Navigator for the city of Lakewood, has been working with homeless populations in the metro area for eight years, spending the last nine months with this fledgling program of the Lakewood PD. She partners with agents from the Department’s Community Action Team (CAT) to interact with people experiencing homelessness.

She has to meet them where they are — not just physically, but emotionally as well.

According to Griffin, reaching those most in need isn’t easy.

“There are no schedules, no appointments, no ‘I’ll call you tomorrow,’” she says.

So, she’s right there on the street with them, asking them questions.

“I start with the small things like ‘have you eaten?’ ‘Are you warm enough?’ Then I go into deeper conversations like what their goals are, and if they see themselves being housed in the future.”

She knows she might only get one chance to help, so she comes prepared, bringing things like a hygiene kit, bottles of water, snacks and bus passes in case they need to get somewhere for additional help.

“When I speak with them, we’ll look into transitional housing, shel-

ters, — sometimes they accept the help,” she says. “And some people are not interested at all. They’re just not ready.”

Her work takes her into homeless encampments, under bridges and to other known gathering places where she might find someone who needs her assistance. There’s an element of danger, so she always goes to those places with a CAT agent. Grif-

fin says she’s seen people who are new to homelessness, and another Navigator in the program works primarily with families, but often those she works with, are the chronic and long-term homeless.

For those who are willing to accept her help, one of the toughest problems she faces, is finding suitable shelter. More and more frequently that means a motel on

West Colfax or Alameda. She gives folks she works with vouchers to cover the expense of a room, paid for through federal funding and the CARES act. The idea, she says, is that right now, allowing people to shelter in segregated spaces like motel rooms will help control the spread of COVID-19, and be less of a public health threat than traditional, open shelters where outbreaks are more likely. Not that the latter is much of an option anyway.

Griffin says the biggest obstacle to her efforts is the lack of emergency, low-barrier-to-entrance shelters, especially in Jefferson County. The city of Lakewood has no homeless shelter.

According to weather reports, the snow will be falling within hours.

Griffin, bundled up in a winter parka says days like this are tricky.

Before COVID-19, the severe weather network was a string of churches housing people during storms,” she says.

Post-covid, things have changed.

“Jeffco has a good system in place for severe weather, so a day like today, we did outreach, texted people, called people I have some connections with and told them to hurry up and get over to Mean Streets Ministries to get a voucher to be in the warmth as the snow comes in.”

Mean Streets Ministries is one of many partners Griffin and the CAT works with. The list includes The Action Center, Family Tree and Jeffco Human Services among others.

elementary students. The last day of bus distributed food (at this point) is January 14, 2021.

The move by Jeffco is the latest in a string of changes made to try to align the Grab and Go program more closely with the needs of district families. Other recent changes to the program include increasing the number of pick-up sites to 19, from 15, as well as pushing back and lengthening pick-up hours to avoid interfering with online learning times.

Push for improvements

Recently, Jeffco’s program has been under fire from leaders in the faith, nonprofit, service and education communities.A virtual forum was held Dec. 9, 2020, hosted by the group, Coloradans for the Common Good (formerly Colorado IAF). Pastor Reagan Humber, House for All Sinners and Saints, led the meeting. Taking the District to task for what he considered inadequate access to the program for families in need, Humber called on Interim Superintendent Kristopher Schuh to meet with representatives from the group to discuss changes. In a separate interview, he said the CCG coalition’s main concern was what they perceived to be deficiencies in Jeffco’s program in comparison to similar programs.

“Denver and Cherry Creek are open every day for kids to be able to get hot lunch,” Humber said.

While he agrees the recent expansion of hours and locations is a step

in the right direction, his group is still concerned about distances between pick-up points creating long walks for kids who have no other transportation options to pick up meals.

Regarding the newly launched bus delivery routes, Humber said his group is thrilled the District has begun this pilot program, and delighted to know their efforts in highlighting the issue paid off.

He also sees issues with meals the district provides that require reheating, pointing out the need for ready to eat options for families who are homeless or living in cars.

In Denver, there are 35 school sites for daily pickup between 11 am and 1:30 pm, and two schools with pickup only on Wednesdays. In addition, DPS delivers food to 16 sites, mostly at apartment complexes Monday through Friday.

Wallace, however, thinks a direct comparison to the DPS program doesn’t take into account that Denver Public Schools has roughly double the amount of free/reduced lunch eligible students that Jeffco has.

Demand has been tricky to predict, she said, noting that in pick-up sites at some Title 1 schools, there has been considerably less participation than expected.

“On the other hand,” she said, “at Columbine, it’s going gangbusters.”

Wallace said the District has been flexible in trying to determine the amount of need and is willing to change and adapt as they see what’s working and what isn’t. She said no system is perfect, but the criticism the District has faced isn’t rooted in data.

This column was debated. Ultimately, I decided against more hope-filled thoughts. There will be plenty of those coming at us from other sources.

Like it or not, Americans want “to have their cake and eat it too.”

Growing up, I never understood what that meant. I do now.

We want to have all of our freedoms and liberties, and not be encumbered by common sense and responsibilities.

Like what?

Masks, social distancing, limited occupancy in restaurants and serving hours.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Critique of letter policy

Just across the page from the letter you published by Tom Sabel on December 17, I read this rule for letters to the editor: Keep it polite: No name-calling or mud-slinging.

How on earth did Tom’s vicious letter get published, I wonder? Here are some of the pejorative, inflammatory words and phrases he used about Trump: pathetic, supine, cowardly, without an ounce of empathy, insane, nonsense, con, fleecing, frivolous.

Please allow your rules to apply both to those who support Trump and to those who oppose him. Going forward, please allow your rules to apply both to those who support Biden and to those who oppose him. Please allow principles to determine the expression of personal opinions.

Thank you for your efforts to keep this newspaper relevant and responsible.

Mary Susan Meyer, Arvada Why the resistance?

To the Trump haters who decry the ongoing investigations into voter fraud, what are you afraid of ?

There has been enough evidence of fraud to generate more than 50 lawsuits across multiple states, though the liberal media isn’t telling you much about it.

I would think that everyone on both sides of the aisle would like to be sure that our elections are conducted freely and fairly.

Perhaps those who want the investigations halted are simply afraid of what might be found.

Let us resolve to leave the worst bits of 2020 behind

O

kay, so, I suppose, if I have a 2020 Christmas List last week, I should have a few New Years’ resolutions this week.

HITTING I know, I know — I’ve said HOME before that I don’t believe in New Years’ Resolutions. But, if there’s anything 2020 has taught us, it may be that we just can’t count on things being the way we think they should Michael Alcorn be. So, maybe a departure from my norm is worth considering.

First of all, I resolve not be afraid. Fear is the little death… I will wear my mask and socially distance when I go out in public — but I will go out in public. I will teach the students who come to school and bring their instruments come Jan. 19. I will get the vaccine when it is made available to me. And then I will take off my mask and smile at the world and breathe the free air.

I think high on my list of resolutions this will be to not want, hope for or spend money on *things*. I haven’t missed things this year — I’ve missed people and experiences. So, 2021 will be a year for going out to dinner a little more, for taking the family to the movies, for having back yard barbecues every weekend and block parties

all summer.

Something that 2020 taught me, and which I think would be wise for everybody to note, was that the first story is not always right.

How many times this year did we see a news story that seemed like earth-shattering, huge news? And then how many times, come day two or day three, did we learn that the story wasn’t exactly what we thought it was? Or was even remotely close to what we were told it was on day one? So, this year, I’m going to wait until day two or three before I really believe what I’m told.

Related to that, I will reserve all outrage about anything I see on social media until I have seen it confirmed and explained by a source that generally disagrees with my world view.

In other words, let 2021 be the year we kick the trolls to the curb.

Another resolution I want to work on is one that one of my bosses has stressed this year: understand what you have control over, what you have influence over, and what is beyond your reach. Because, if you’re spending too much time and energy on that which is beyond your reach (politics, etc…) then you are allowing something else to have control over you. Marshal your energies smarter.

I’d love to break 90 this summer.

That’s, obviously, trivial in the big picture, but… Sure would be an indicator of a summer well spent!

I’ve done it a few times in my life,

but it’s been a while, and I’d like to get back to having good, restful summers.

2020 has put extra strains on many systems and relationships this year. And, while it is true that adversity reveals character, rather than building it, I think it would be wise for all of us to take what happened in 2020 with an extra dose of understanding.

Those people who snapped at you at the grocery store? They may have just found out that their business was being forced to close. That family that couldn’t quite get their act together about online schooling? Well, they may have been fighting to keep a suicidal sibling alive all year.

That friend who you thought you could count on but came up short this year? Maybe they ended up on the front lines of this struggle and had nothing left to give. So, maybe the strains of 2020 were an admission of an already weak system; or maybe those systems and relationships became collateral damage of COVID. Let 2021 be a year of fresh starts and new beginnings. No reason to bring the angst of 2020 forward with us. Happy New Year!

who have been involved in activities at the fairgrounds was swift.

However, that community got some good news on Feb. 25 when the commissioners reached an agreement to direct county staff to pursue options for the fairgrounds that would preserve the space for agricultural and equine activities for kids while eliminating buildings and costs that do not directly support that purpose.

Jeffco sees first case of COVID-19

It was impossible to know just how much COVID-19 would come to define the county’s year on March 10, when county health officials announced that a man in his 50s had become the first in the county to test positive for the virus. Since then, Jeffco has seen over 27,000 more cases of the virus (as of Dec. 18). Nearly 600 people in the county have died from the virus.

Remote learning blues

The Jefferson County Fairgrounds started the year on the budgetary chopping block for the county. It currently is PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO being used as a COVID-19 testing site.

Bandimere Battle

Jeffco Public School students left for Spring Break, and never did go back to their classrooms this year.

The start of the new school year was delayed two weeks, and even then, weeks of remote orientation, hybrid schedules and frequent COVID-19 quarantines kept disrupting classes.

The public school district was forced to move to a 100% remote approach again this December, and the return to some semblance of in-person learning this January is very much contingent on community health figures improving.

What remote learning innovations, and new student skill-sets might emerge during this tumultuous period? How bad will all this disrupted learning be for this generation?

Reminder of the urgency and beauty of Life, and the responsibilities of its ownership.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a fascinating character. He was referred to as “the prince of paradox.” According to Time magazine, “He made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories — first turning them inside out.”

I am old, tired, anxious and restless. You?

Face masks were rare and MAGA hats and red, white and blue were plentiful on Sept. 1 at Bandimere Speedway as a crowd descended on the race track to protest what organizers called “unconstitutional Public Health Orders and Executive Orders.”

The event, promoted by the speedway as the “Stop the COVID Chaos” rally, put the track back into the spotlight it has occupied for much of the summer as it held a July 4 event in violation of Public Health Orders and later faced off against Jefferson County Public Health in court over health orders. Since then, the speedway has remained a flashpoint for opposition to county and state public health orders.

This was lucky, because the chance of a catastrophic fire here is high.

In fact, according to a count wildfire task force, the Evergreen and Conifer areas are currently the worst spots in the state in terms of wildfire risk. In fact, the areas rank in the top 10 for potential disaster, according to a national insurance analysis.

The task force has risk-reduction ideas, but both the time and money to avert the worst of the danger are in short supply.

Black Lives Matter

Peaceful protests against police brutality and in favor of racial justice within law enforcement sprang up across the county. Organized groups in places like Arvada, Lakewood and Golden pushed for systemic change.

In contrast to the repeated violent clashes between police and protesters, and vandalism in downtown Denver, the suburban events were never so contentious.

Lucky fire season

While many areas of the state were devastated by wildfire, Jefferson County remained mostly unscathed from the 2020 fire season.

Chesterton said, “The old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man might stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.”

What it comes down to, at least for me, is something Warren Zevon said, “Enjoy every sandwich.”

Littleton Adventist Hospital distributes food to struggling employees Dozens of hospital workers sign up for free food boxes, officials say

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than two dozen employees of Littleton Adventist Hospital signed up for a free food distribution program meant to combat hunger, hospital officials said.

Thirty-two hospital staffers said they would like to take home a box

of produce, meat and other items collected by a subcontractor that sells surplus food to the hospital, said Jason O’Rourke, the hospital’s director of mission integration.

The hospital employs roughly 1,000 people, he said.

O’Rourke said an internal company survey showed 17% of respondents struggle with food insecurity in their home lives, though he said the number could be higher.

He said he wasn’t sure who the 32 staffers were or what jobs they hold at the hospital.

“It could run from the C-suite to

the environmental service workers,” O’Rourke said. “It’s not necessarily a job-related thing. We don’t know what’s going on outside of here that they’re experiencing this. It could have nothing to do with their paychecks and everything to do with their bills.”

Hospital spokesperson Kevin Massey declined to say if hospital staff have received hazard pay during the COVID-19 pandemic, though he cited the hospital’s Employee Assistance Program, which he said allows employees to donate funds to help one another, and helps strug-

gling employees sign up for public benefits.

Littleton Adventist Hospital is run

by Centura Health, which describes itself as the region’s largest health care network.

Hospital officials declined a request to speak to employees receiving the food boxes, citing privacy concerns.

O’Rourke said hospital staff are working hard to provide compassionate care in a challenging time.

‘Hard to put into words’ Volunteers remember veterans at Fort Logan for Wreaths Across America

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The hallowed marble rows of headstones at Fort Logan National Cemetery were brightened the week before Christmas, as volunteers with Wreaths Across America honored the dead with bow-festooned balsam pine wreaths.

“It’s a patriotic opportunity to come give thanks,” said Troy Nevergall, one of dozens of volunteers who helped lay more than 11,000 wreaths at the cemetery over the course of three days.

Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit that seeks to show admiration for veterans, began at Arlington National Cemetery, and this year had 2,557 participating locations.

Two of Nevergall’s grandparents lay beneath headstones at Fort Logan.

“Partly this is about coming here to be part of this beautiful place,” he said of the cemetery. “The solace and reverence you experience here are hard to put into words.”

Some have tried. As the volunteers combed the grounds, snow crunching underfoot, the final stanza of Theodore O’Hara’s poem “Bivouac

he said. “They’re tired, they’re fatigued, but they’re resilient.”

Littleton Adventist bought the boxes from FoodMaven, a Denverbased company that supplies some of the hospital’s food.

FoodMaven seeks to capture and repurpose food that might otherwise go to waste, said CEO Ben Deda.

FoodMaven buys surplus food from distributors, grocery stores and farmers and ranchers, Deda said.

“For instance, we work with a chicken processor who primarily sells to grocery retail,” Deda said.

“They may have excess product, and

if they freeze it, it’s now out of spec for them. We can bring it in, and it’s bought by restaurants, colleges, hotels or hospitals who can use it and prepare it.”

The company currently has about 300 buyers in Denver and another 250 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Deda said.

The pandemic has been a boom time for FoodMaven, Deda said, as services like at-home meal kits have exploded.

Deda said the company can sell food to struggling restaurants below market value, and said he hopes it helps them stay afloat.

“We’re all about building an adaptable, sustainable, local food supply chain,” Deda said. “This time has been a validation that we’re on the right track.”

Jeffco prep sports 2020 year in review

BY MICHAEL HICKS MHICKS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Though the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the sports schedule in 2020 — in particular — the high school sports calendar, there were still some memorable moments. From Pomona winning another state wrestling championship to Ralston Valley’s golfers placing fourth and a number of teams enjoying success on the hardwood, there were plenty of things to celebrate in the sports world this year as far as Jefferson County high schools are concerned.

COVID-19 turns CHSAA seasons upside down

The Colorado High School Activities Association canceled the conclusion of its 2020 state basketball tournaments and the spring sports season due to state protocols put in place to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most Jefferson County high schools, but not all of them had completed their winter sports season for the 2019-20 campaign. Then they missed out on a spring sports campaign because of the virus.

The 2020-21 fall season was postponed to Season C - or next spring - because of the pandemic.

Jeffco schools, however, played multiple sports, including football, which had the option to stay in Season C or rejoin Season A after CHSAA and the state was able to work out variances to allow teams to play. Jeffco schools played in Season A. CHSAA recently announced the 2020-21 winter sports campaign, which had been delayed to the start of January, will now start no sooner than early February after the state announced that it wouldn’t offer variances to allow for indoor high school athletics during an uptick in COVID-19 cases in late November.

Pomona nabs fourth state wrestling title in five years

Just call it a dynasty.

Pomona won its fourth 5A state wrestling championship in the past five years in February, dominating the competition. The Panthers scored 198.5 points, easily outdistancing runnerup Rocky Mountain, which came in second with 110.5 points.

The Panthers sent four wrestlers to the state finals — Jakob Romero (126 pounds), Daniel Cardenas (138), Gage Bernall (160) and Franklin Cruz (195) — with the latter three securing championships. In all, Pomona had 10 wrestlers place at the Pepsi Center.

Pandemic denies Faith Christian shot at seventh state title

Faith Christian will never know if it would’ve won a seventh 3A state boys basketball title in 2020, but the Eagles were among the favorites for sure.

Paced by a pair of double-figure scorers in Caleb Ruter (15.3 points per game) and Caleb Clark (11.0), Faith Christian went 21-4 and finished second to Lutheran in the 3A Metro League.

Coach Abram Ziemer’s squad was dominant in the state tournament, winning its first three games by an average of 18.7 points per game before CHSAA officials were forced to shut down the tournament in the semifinals because of state protocols involving the COVID-19 pandemic.

No. 3 seeded Faith Christian, which won five straight state titles from 2008-12, was to have played 10th-seeded Sterling in the semifinals for a spot in the finals.

Pomona wins league title, reaches semifinals

The fall football season may have been shorter than usual, but the Pomona Panthers made the most of the opportunity.

Led by senior quarterback Jack Pospisil, Pomona (7-1) opened the season with back-to-back shutouts over Chaparral and Lakewood on its way to beating Columbine 14-11 in the regular-season finale to capture the 5A Jeffco League title.

Pomona sophomore Daniel Cardenas celebrates after his pin of Poudre senior Dean Nobel to win the Class 5A 138-pound title Feb. 22 at Pepsi Center.

Pomona captured its fourth Class 5A wrestling team state title over the past five years Feb. 22 at Pepsi Center. The Panthers dominated placing 10 wrestlers and racking up 198.5 teams points that included three individual state champions.

The Panthers routed Eaglecrest in the postseason opener before running into the buzzsaw that was eventual state champion Cherry Creek in a 35-7 state semifinal defeat.

After the season, head coach Jay Madden - a 1986 Pomona graduate himself - stepped down from the helm he’s held for 18 seasons. Madden coached the Panthers to four state championship contests, including an exhilarating 56-49 win over Eaglecrest in the 2017 title games.

RV golfers place fourth at state

Led by Trey Krischner, who carded a two-day total 5-over 147 to tie for second place, the Ralston Valley Mustangs took fourth place in an extremely tight battle for the 5A state boys golf championship.

Just six strokes separated team champion Valor Christian and fourth-place Ralston Valley at The Club at Rolling Hills in October. Arapahoe was two shots back of the state champions, while Regis Jesuit was five strokes back. Jeffco rival Lakewood came in eighth place.

The Mustangs’ Gage Messingham and Lakewood’s Ryan Liao tied for seventh place.

be on the cross country course in 2020.

He won a third straight 4A Jeffco League title this year, winning in a time of 15 minutes, 59.7 seconds. He followed that up with a regional title in almost the exact same time, finishing in 15:59.2.

He was on his way to a 4A state title in Colorado Springs on Oct. 17 when he got tangled up with Niwot’s Zane Bergen mere feet from the finish line. Tuohy-Gaydos was disqualified for impeding a runner, costing him that elusive state title.

While the cross country season didn’t end as he would’ve hoped, the future is still quite bright for the male Heisman High School Scholarship winner. Tuohy-Gaydos will run collegiately for Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.

Wheat Ridge-D’Evelyn collision course gets derailed

Wheat Ridge and D’Evelyn were as good as it gets in 4A softball this past season. The Famers and Jaguars were the cream of the crop in the Jeffco League.

They each finished 7-1 against conference opponents, allowing a combined 23 runs in those games. They were separated by one run in their 3-2 head-to-head battle, which Wheat Ridge won on Sept. 23.

Still, Wheat Ridge, D’Evelyn and Conifer — Jeffco’s third-place team — proved the conference more than held its own on the softball diamond in 2020.

Green Mountain girls hoops wins Jeffco title

A picture of balance across the team, the Green Mountain Rams girls’ basketball team ascended to the top of the mountain in the 4A Jeffco League in 2020.

Led by junior Courtney Hank and her 10.1 points per game, the Rams ran the table to a 12-0 record against conference opposition en route to a 24-3 overall mark.

The Rams, who had six players average five or more points per game, were the No. 3 seed in the 4A state tournament and the top remaining seed when they were upset by No. 7 Holy Family in the state semifinals in March.

Christian on Jan. 29. That 60-58 victory on Jan. 29, however, is what helped propel the Mustangs to the 5A Jeffco League boys basketball championship in 2020.

Ralston Valley went 21-4 overall, including 7-1 in 5A Jeffco.

Led by seniors Caleb Rillos (18.5 points per game) and Caden Gigstad (15.1), the Mustangs earned the No. 3 seed in the 5A state tournament. They were headed toward a rematch with Valor Christian in the quarterfinals when No. 19 George Washington, fresh off an upset over Horizon in the second round, upended Ralston Valley 6252 in the Sweet 16.

Demons flex muscles in 4A Jeffco

There was Golden and then there was everybody else in the boys basketball 4A Jeffco League a season ago.

The Demons boys’ team dominated the field en route to the conference title in 2020, winning the league championship by three games over Green Mountain and Wheat Ridge.

Golden (18-7 overall, 11-1 league) was led by the three-headed monster of seniors Kevin Mulligan (11.8 points per game), Ben McLaughlin (11.7) and freshman Alan Acevedo (10.6).

After avoiding an upset from Discovery Canyon in the second round, Golden was bounced in the Sweet 16 by No. 13 Pueblo East 65-62.
