Election creates opening on LPS board Warren-Gully to leave for county post; school board to pick replacement in March

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Candlelight Walk was canceled this year, but Main Street shines just the same.

Most years, Littleton kicks off the holiday season in grand fashion on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

At the Candlelight Walk, throngs follow behind Santa Claus’ sleigh as he rolls down Main Street, magically illuminating thousands of lights from Rio Grande to Rapp streets.

In 2020, the Candlelight Walk was canceled, as so many events have been.

Littleton Public Schools will soon be searching for a new school board member, as current board member Carrie Warren-Gully prepares to step down after winning a seat on the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners.

Warren-Gully plans to resign her seat on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education, which she has held since 2013, at the Dec. 10 meeting, she told Colorado Community Media.

Warren-Gully, a Democrat, defeated Warren-Gully incumbent Republican Kathleen Conti for the District 1 county commissioner seat, winning by a nearly 12-point margin.

District 1 is the county’s westernmost commissioner district, covering Englewood, Littleton and parts of Centennial.

She is scheduled to be sworn in as a county commissioner on Jan. 12.

Warren-Gully said she is not legally obligated to step down from the school board, but felt she wouldn’t be able to give her full attention to both boards.

MY NAME IS

GARY POOLE

Retiree remembers a smaller, slower-paced Colorado Selling history I’m a third-generation Coloradan.

My grandfather died when my dad was 8, and my grandma was raising five kids. She worked at Swedish Hospital in Englewood, doing laundry back when it was still a tuberculosis sanitorium.

My dad, Jack Poole, was on Englewood’s parks and recreation commission in the 1960s. At that time, Englewood just had one big city park. A developer wanted to buy it to build Cinderella City mall.

My dad and mom would go around and around about whether the city should take the deal. My mom said he was selling the town’s history, but he would say we would get a bunch of parks around the city in exchange, and that’s what ended up happening.

My dad stayed involved with parks and athletics for most of his life. The softball field at Belleview Park is named in his honor.

Asphalt on the ballfield Part of where Belleview Park is now was once a landfill — where the city dumped asphalt. I worked for the parks for many years as a young man, and every once in a while some of the asphalt would come up through the dirt in the

baseball diamond.. We had to keep a close eye on it — softball players didn’t want to slide into a chunk of asphalt.

I remember 1965, the year of the big flood on the South Platte River.

I remember the sound more than anything. Upriver, people had those big propane tanks to heat their homes, and they all came loose and floated down. I remember them hitting the bridges. You could hear these big bangs.

Not all bad This was just a different place then. I remember cows grazing near Belleview and Broadway. I remember my mom sending me down to Broadway to get bread from the bakery. Nobody questioned whether that was appropriate. Back then it wasn’t a big deal to cross Hampden on my bike. Today I don’t even like crossing it in my car.

The change isn’t all bad. When I was a kid, Frank the Pizza King was fine dining. Don’t get me wrong, I still love Frank’s! But it’s exciting to see such nice places around here nowadays.

A lot of things have improved for the better. They say it’s gentrification, that folks are forced out who can’t afford it. I’m amazed at what houses go for now, but my parents were able to sell their home to a young family who put their kids in the local schools. I’m grateful for that.

Statewide grant for restaurant tents, heating still available Round 2 of funding was to open Nov. 30

Littleton 8116 W Bowles Ave, Suite C Littleton, CO 80123

Gov. Jared Polis, in partnership with the Colorado Restaurant Association and Xcel Energy, announced that applications are open for the Winter Outdoor Grant Program, an effort to help restaurants “winterize” outdoor space for dining, according to a news release.

Round 1 of grant applications has closed, and round 2 was to open on Nov. 30, according to the Colorado Restaurant Association, an organization that supports the state’s foodservice industry. Applications that were not funded in round 1 were automatically moved to round 2 — the association asked restaurants not to resubmit existing applications.

To apply, visit cooutdoordining. org/colorado-winter-outdoor-grantsapplication.

Only Colorado-based restaurants are eligible, and food and beverage service must be their primary operation, according to the association. Restaurants must be located in Colorado and be majority-owned by Colorado residents. See the link above for more information.

In mid-October, Polis was joined by the association and restaurateurs to discuss ways to support local restaurants during the pandemic, according to the news release.

“The restaurant industry is critical to the economic health of the State of Colorado, and it’s vital to the well-being of our local communities,”

Polis said in the release. He added: “I hope the public join me in supporting restaurants this winter, perhaps by experiencing these unique winter outdoor dining concepts, or by dining out or ordering takeout or delivery.”

The grant program was made possible by Xcel Energy Foundation and Xcel Energy, which made a $500,000 contribution to the Colorado Restaurant Association Foundation to help support local restaurants through the winter season. In addition to that donation, they also committed to matching donations of $50,000 — up to an additional $250,000 — for every $500,000 raised for the Colorado Restaurant Association Foundation. That’s a possible total contribution of $750,000 from the Xcel Energy Foundation and Xcel Energy, one of the largest gifts the company has made in its history, according to the news release.

To donate to the program, visit cooutdoordining.org.

Grant funds can be used toward design, construction, applicable fees and supplies such as tents, heaters and other expenses related to updating space to suit outdoor diners in cold weather.

Grants can be made only for certain expenses, which include but are not limited to the following: • Architectural or design fees • Construction materials and contractor fees • Tents • Heaters and/or heating equipment or expenses related to heating • Furniture • Lighting • Snow removal • Safety measures and equipment • Cold-weather gear for staff or patrons

‘This is scarier than spring’ Littleton restaurants face renewed restrictions amid virus resurgence

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton restaurants saw their final indoor diners for the near future on Nov. 20, in the final hours before heightened restrictions to slow surging COVID-19 cases took effect.

At Palenque Cocina, general manager Marisa Vera said the restaurant shut down indoor dining earlier in the day, before the 5 p.m. deadline, to give staff time to prepare for a return to a takeout-only format.

The saddest part, Vera said, was taking much of the wait staff off the schedule for the foreseeable future.

Palenque is down to just 10 staff, from a high of 70 before the pandemic, she said.

“This is scarier than spring,” Vera said, referring to previous health orders that suspended indoor dining for weeks in March, April and May. Back then, Congress rolled out expanded unemployment benefits, stimulus checks and the Paycheck Protection Program, funds that softened the impact of shutdown orders.

This time, there’s no clear indication more federal help is coming.

“We’ll be lucky if any of the restaurants down here can make it until spring,” she said.

Dine-in, even at 50% capacity, had been going pretty well, Vera said, though management posted a large sign at the entrance asking those who object to wearing face masks to get take-out or go somewhere else.

“Our staff has been unnecessarily mistreated & we will no longer tolerate any form of verbal or physical abuse,” the sign reads.

“We had a lot of pushback on masks,” Vera said, adding that some patrons who confronted her about the mask policy told her to “go back where she came from.”

“People are on edge,” Vera said. “I get it. But we’re in this situation, with cases rising and more restrictions, because people weren’t taking this seriously enough.”

Down the street at the Melting Pot fondue restaurant, customer Candice Honderd and several family members walked out to the parking lot unsure when their next family night out will be.

“It’s been a rough two weeks,” Honderd said, with some relatives fresh off quarantines after being exposed to positive COVID cases at school.

“The food here is amazing, but it’s also bittersweet because this is the last get-together for a while. I’m glad we had this.”

At Romano’s Italian Restaurant, coowner John Romano said he’s bracing for a tight winter.

“Normally we have a lot of Christmas and holiday parties booked,” Romano said. “It’s the gravy we look forward to all year. But this year?

Nothing.”

Still, he said the restaurant is lucky Italian food translates so well to takeout.

“It was a challenge figuring out how to do all our menu items to go, but it works well enough,” he said. “I’m an optimistic guy. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. The hard part for me is missing the buzz of a busy dining room.”

At Grande Station Bistro, owner Kurt Fischer said summer was actually pretty good.

“We had so much outdoor seating, we did well,” Fischer said. “We were one of the fortunate ones.”

Still, the restaurant is down to a staff of 16, from 25 before the pandemic, and Fischer says the current demand for takeout doesn’t seem to be matching the spring.

“Back then, people thought this would be short-term,” he said.

“People were getting stimulus checks and expanded unemployment. This time there’s none of that. The government is fighting itself, and regular people are left to carry on. I think people are tightening their belts more this time.”

At EVOO Marketplace, a shop that sells gourmet oils and vinegars, owner Mike Major said the upcoming Christmas season is his busiest time of year, and hoped the end of dine-in service at local restaurants wouldn’t eat into shopping.

‘A chance to breathe and relax’ IFCS distributes hundreds of Thanksgiving dinners to needy families

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s been a rough year for Mike Peterson.

His wife passed away late last year, and the funeral expenses left him homeless, he said. Peterson now lives with his son and daughter, who were laid off early in the pandemic.

Peterson, who spent nearly 50 of his 65 years in construction, is on disability while recovering from knee surgeries.

But despite the setbacks, Peterson said he remains grateful for life, God and his children. And thanks to Integrated Family Community Services, he is able to give thanks with his children over a full Thanksgiving feast.

“It means I can still give my kids something nice,” Peterson said after picking up a Thanksgiving food box.

“God bless these guys for doing this.

It helps me feel like Dad can still provide. We all have to slow down and help each other.”

Peterson was one of hundreds of people who lined up in cars at Arapahoe Community College on Nov. 21 to pick up one of 700 free Thanksgiving boxes, loaded with everything a family would need to prepare a Turkey Day feast with all the trimmings: mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread mix, cranberry sauce, vegetables and vouchers to buy turkeys.

Volunteers for Integrated Family Community Services load cars with Thanksgiving boxes at Arapahoe Community College on Nov. 21.

PHOTO BY DAVID GILBERT Beyond a hearty meal, IFCS hoped to provide a needed break in an overwhelming year, said Todd McPherson, outreach director for the assistance

agency that provides food and other services to people across the south metro area.

“It’s about respite, about giving

people a chance to breathe and relax,” McPherson said. “Lots of families and friends can’t get together this year.

It’s a solemn Thanksgiving for a lot of people, and hopefully this will help level the playing field for folks who might not have a lot to begin with.”

IFCS normally distributes Thanksgiving boxes, McPherson said, though this is the first year the group has given them away to all comers rather than pre-registered clients.

IFCS has seen need skyrocket this year, McPherson said, and has eliminated barriers like proof of hardship and geographic restrictions.

“We’re seeing record numbers every day, and we certainly anticipate that will continue through the holidays,” he said.

Despite the tough economic times, the group has been buoyed by grants, with the Thanksgiving program bankrolled in part by gifts from All State Insurance, the Rotary Clubs of Highlands Ranch and Littleton, the Columbine Kiwanis and the Littleton Sertoma Club.

“This is a ray of sunshine,” said Patricia Sznip, a member of the Highlands Ranch Rotary who volunteered to help load boxes into cars. “It’s good to think outside yourself. There are people around us struggling, and I’m so grateful for groups like IFCS and people who donate who are in a position to help.”

IFCS will continue its holiday season efforts with the One Can Feed campaign, which raises money for food, and a fundraiser to buy presents for children up to age 10. More information is available at IFCS.org.

Restaurants may be a key source of virus spread, Tri-County data suggests Health agency has received many complaints about lack of distancing

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Restaurants are the second mostcommon place that people who contract COVID-19 say they went in the 14 days before their illness began, according to Tri-County Health Department data.

“According to our most recent exposure data, restaurants/cafés are second to small private gatherings as to where people have visited and could have been exposed,” said John Douglas, head of Tri-County Health, which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. “Large private gatherings is (the) third-highest listing, followed by offices/work, then churches/religious gathering.”

More than 1,000 people reported having attended a small private gathering in the 14 days before their illness began, according to the data as of Nov. 25. About 720 people reported going to a restaurant or café, and 540 noted going to a large private gathering. About 390 had gone to an office or workplace, and 280 said they went to church or another religious gathering.

Tri-County has seen that between 25% and 30% of people report going to more than one setting, and in those cases, officials can’t determine which place is the more likely source of exposure to COVID-19, Douglas said.

Tri-County was working on ranking the most frequently visited places for the roughly 70% of respondents who listed only one location, but officials hadn’t completed that as of Nov. 20.

How well the trends apply across Tri-County’s population also could depend on variation in whether TriCounty’s staff have contact information for people who contract COVID-19 and whether people answer the phone, can remember their possible exposure sources, or will provide complete and accurate information, Douglas said. But that’s a caveat of data like this wherever it’s collected, he added.

“Having said that, this ranking has been consistent since we started tracking it, and is consistent across the three counties we serve,” Douglas said. “It also aligns with exposure information across the nation. Restaurants are also one of our biggest categories of `complaints received’ … for overcrowding and not adhering to social distancing. Nearly 50% of cases are between the ages of 18 (and) 44, which is an age group more likely to frequent bars and restaurants.”

The data are available at tchd. org/823/Case-Updates. Scroll about

one-third of the way down the page and click “exposures.”

A study of symptomatic outpatients from 11 United States health care facilities found that adults with positive COVID-19 test results were about twice as likely to have reported dining at a restaurant than those with negative test results, according to Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a publication by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Reports of exposures in restaurants have been linked to air circulation,” the report says. “Direction, ventilation and intensity of airflow might affect virus transmission, even if social distancing measures and mask use are implemented according to current guidance.”

The report also notes masks cannot be effectively worn while eating and drinking, “whereas shopping and numerous other indoor activities do not preclude mask use.”

COVID-19 contact tracing apps not gaining much traction Many Americans steer clear of smartphone technology that fights disease spread

The app builders had planned for pranksters, ensuring that only people with verified COVID-19 cases could trigger an alert. They’d planned for heavy criticism about privacy, in many cases making the features as bare-bones as possible.

But, as more states roll out smartphone contact-tracing technology, other challenges are emerging.

Namely, human nature.

The problem starts with downloads. Stefano Tessaro calls it the “chicken-and-egg” issue: The system works only if a lot of people buy into it, but people will buy into it only if they know it works.

“Accuracy of the system ends up increasing trust, but it is trust that increases adoptions, which in turn increases accuracy,” Tessaro, a computer scientist at the University of Washington who was involved in creating that state’s forthcoming contact-tracing app, said in a lecture in October.

In other parts of the world, people are taking that necessary leap of faith.

Ireland and Switzerland, touting some

of the highest uptake rates, report more than 20% of their populations use a contact-tracing app.

Many Americans balk Americans seem not so hot on the idea. As with much of the U.S. response to the pandemic, this country hasn’t had a national strategy. So it’s up to states. And only about a dozen, including the recent addition of Colorado, have launched the smartphone feature, which sends users a notification if they’ve crossed paths with another app user who later tests positive for COVID-19.

Within those few states, enthusiasm appears dim. In Wyoming, Alabama and North Dakota, some of the few states with usage data beyond initial downloads, under 3% of the population is using the app.

The service, built by Google and Apple and adapted by individual countries, states or territories, either appears as a downloadable app or as a setting, depending on the state and the device. It uses Bluetooth to identify other phones using the app within about 6 feet for more than 15 minutes. If a user tests positive for COVID-19, they’re given a verification code to input so that each contact can be notified they were potentially exposed. The person’s identity is shielded, as are those of the people notified.

LPS BOARD FROM PAGE 1

“I wouldn’t be a very good school board member if I stayed on,” she said. “The beautiful thing about Littleton is we have so many smart, involved people who can take my place.”

A quirk in the board’s bylaws mean that while Warren-Gully plans to resign effective immediately at the Dec. 10 school board meeting, the board won’t formally accept her resignation until the next meeting on Jan. 14, said board chair Jack Reutzel. At that point, the board has 60 days to appoint someone to fill the vacancy.

Reutzel said the board plans to draft an application for interested community members, who must live within Littleton Public Schools’ boundaries and must be registered voters.

Then, he said, the board plans to invite all the applicants to speak at one of the two board meetings in February, before making a final decision at the March 11 meeting.

Whoever is selected to replace Warren-Gully won’t have long before they need to make another big

DOWNTOWN FROM PAGE 1

Though with luck coming weeks will bring steady business to downtown’s

December 3, 2020D decision: whether to run to keep the seat in the November 2021 election.

In fact, the school board is due for big changes next year: Reutzel is term-limited, as is board member Kelly Perez, meaning three of the boards five seats will be up for grabs.

Warren-Gully said she is proud of her time on the board, citing her work on pushing for expanded career and technical education programs, including ongoing work to revamp a former car dealership beside Littleton High School into a sprawling technical education campus.

Her tenure on the board has included many tough challenges, she said, including addressing everincreasing student mental health needs.

“We need to keep working on how we communicate with our community, and how we make sure parents and students know what resources are even available,” she said. “We’re always trying to catch up with the changes brought about by technology ad social media. And we have to keep fighting for more of those mental health resources.”

Reutzel said he is grateful for Warren-Gully’s tenacity as a board member, including her lobbying at

the state legislature for increased education funding.

“She’s been a tremendous asset, and I’m going to miss her terribly,” Reutzel said. “She keeps us focused and grounded on the health and safety of our students and staff.

She’s a compassionate, smart, empathetic leader, and she’ll be a great commissioner. I’m really happy for the residents in her district.”

Warren-Gully said there’s lots of work to be done at the county level.

“The first thing we’ll have to tackle is staying on top of the virus and trying to get it under control,” she said. “The next piece is economic recovery. A lot of people are hurting, and small businesses are struggling.”

Counties are responsible for handling a lot of federal funds, WarrenGully said, including COVID-19 relief funds, but also longer-term programs like housing and food assistance.

She said she hopes to work closely with city councils and nonprofits to make sure federal and state funds are going where they can be best used.

“We need to be that conduit, that liaison between cities and the state and federal government,” she said, citing programs like mental health

care funding and homeless outreach.

She said she is also ready to work with Tri-County Health Department, which implements and oversees restrictions and other measures meant to combat the spread of COVID-19. Most restrictions are handled at the county level.

“I think Tri-County Health is doing a great job considering the situation we’re in,” she said. “It’s a situation that changes every day, as does our knowledge of the virus.

I’m not an epidemiologist or a scientist, so I want to defer to their expertise. I think the county commissioners can play important roles as we improve contact tracing, and as we move toward hopefully distributing the vaccines.”

Conti, whom Warren-Gully beat in the election, was tight-lipped about her next moves.

“What I do going forward will be done as a private citizen and has no basis in your story,” she wrote in an email.

Warren-Gully said she is hopeful the school board and county commissioners can work together.

“I’m sad about resigning the school board, but I have a feeling we can find ways to collaborate in the future.”

merchants, Main Street was a lonely place the evening of Nov. 27.

But downtown still shined in her holiday glory, causing at least one pedestrian to remark within earshot of a reporter, “It’s so cute! It’s like a Hallmark movie!”

Beneath the twinkling lights along the main drag, a handful of diners huddled beneath patio heaters or around propane fireplaces at sidewalk and patio tables, the only sitdown dining allowed during a surge of COVID-19.

At the View House, Kristine Meares and Christopher Chartier sat beneath a buzzing heat lamp, sharing drinks and appetizers.

“It keeps your face warm, at least,” Chartier said of the heat lamp. “At least it’s beautiful out here.”

Workers install one of the exterior signs of the In-N-Out Burger being built near County Line Road in Lone Tree on Nov. 19.

Officials from California-based In-N-Out say the Lone Tree location, 9171 E. Westview Road, is expected to open by the end of the year. The Lone Tree eatery will be the third to open in Colorado — In-N-Outs in Aurora and Colorado Springs opened Nov. 20.

Major said he has taken the virus seriously from the start. Customers can only step a few feet into the shop, where staff bring items to them. Pickup service allows customers to buy items online and snag them from a table just inside the door.

The new surge in cases is frustrating, Major said, because he feels like “the people doing the most complaining about the restrictions are also the ones prolonging this.”

“I hope these vaccines they’re talking about are all they’re cracked up to be,” Major said. “I’m beyond ready for this to end.”

The lack of federal stimulus going into another round of shutdowns could cause “widespread damage” to local businesses and employees, said Pat Dunahay, the co-chair of the Littleton Business Chamber.

“Businesses, staff, landlords and city tax collection are all going to take big hits,” Dunahay said. “We’re all going to have to figure out how to work together, to lift each other up.”

Dunahay said expanded unemployment benefits last spring went a long way to prop up the economy.

“That’s where the money needs to go,” Dunahay said. “People who are unemployed can’t make it on partial benefits.

People need their pay, and that keeps everything else afloat.”

For those with the means to do so, Dunahay said it will be crucial to support local small businesses and restaurants this winter.

“If you’re able, if you can, you have an obligation to help take care of this city,” Dunahay said. “Keep your focus local.”

VOICES

A good memory is a visitor that’s welcome anytime

or at least a month, I’d end the day in my no great shakes West Los Angeles apartment listening to “Desolation Row” QUIET on a cheap turnDESPERATION table.

It’s an 11:23 song on Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” album.

I didn’t know what the song meant (I still don’t), but its somberness kept me in the mood required at the time Craig Marshall to be a sullen and Smith introspective college student.

Usually I would drift off before the song was over, but wake when I heard the eloquent biology of the record player.

The tone arm would lift, return to its home, and the unit snicked off.

For some reason the sounds were very comforting.

Now right before sleep, I reminisce, and it’s about “Desolation Row” and a thousand other things, some very minor, that inexplicably the brain can hold on to forever.

Some nights I decide what I want to reminisce about and some nights unexpected memories will be cued by something that happened during the day.

Or a film I might have seen when I was much younger and then again recently. The films don’t change, but I have.

How and why certain moments are retained is beyond me. One night recently I remembered the heady smell of the plantings in front of the Los Angeles train station. Why? And I haven’t been to the train station since 1973.

In the hallway of an elementary school in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, I kissed Bonnie. We were both in the first grade. It was my first kiss.

Certainly the retention of a few other firsts is understandable.

But it’s the odd ones I don’t get.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR We must do our part We are at war with a virus that has killed more than 200,000 Americans and shows no sign of letting up. Medical experts and epidemiologists concur that the holiday season poses more risk as people are wont to gather with family and friends. Gov. Polis has been guided by the science in issuing new guidelines/ protocols to keep Coloradans safer and alive. He has the duty and the power to do so.

If we are to win this war, we must present a united front. We must be willing to do what it takes, just as the Brits did when they blackened their windows during the Blitz. Just as Americans did when they rationed their food during World War II. One of the protocols we are asked to follow is limiting folks to just our households during the upcoming holidays.

And yet the hue and cry from people who think this is a sacrifice so draconian and so beyond the pale for them is breathtakingly petulant. Is it such an unbearable burden for you to alter Thanksgiving dinner plans for the common good of your family/friends/fellowAmericans? Are you so bereft of imagination that you cannot think of alternatives to having folks around your dinner table from outside your household, for one day?

Brits turned their lights off for eight months. Americans used their ration books, stamps and tokens for four years. They did their part in order to win that war.

Let’s ask ourselves what we are willing to do to win this war.

After hundreds of motel and hotel rooms, why do I remember the shower head in a Columbia, Missouri, hotel? That was 35 years ago.

The older I get the more memorable moments I’ve had. But it’s likely many I once was archiving have disappeared.

My father was hospitalized for the last nine months of his life. I had a lot of questions, but I kept them to myself.

Near the end, he couldn’t talk (or walk, eat, or drink). I wondered if he still had memories.

He once told me having good memories was the best thing about growing old.

I wondered if he remembered where he met my mother: at a corn roast when they were both 13.

And if he remembered what it was like to return to the United States on the Queen Mary after his missions in World War II were completed.

As a captain in the Army Air Corps he was treated royally.

I listen to homemade playlists whenever I paint; some over and over.

Again, inexplicably, as one song is ending I know what the next one is going to be.

The joke is: But don’t ask me what I had for breakfast.

If I were being grilled under hot lights and badgered into admitting what I was doing on the night of the 14th, I’d have to make something up.

Why do we keep some of the memories that we do and not others?

And how many are we capable of storing?

Undoubtedly, the answers to my questions are online somewhere.

Maybe I don’t want to know.

There’s magic in a good memory making an entrance after years have gone by, isn’t there?

Showing gratitude for life’s unlikely game-changers

B

efore we completely turn the page and allow last week’s Thanksgiving holiday to pass us by, I WINNING wanted to take WORDS a moment to thank every one of you who have done your very best to truly focus on what you have been most grateful for this past year. You may not think it matters, but I Michael Norton can assure you that your sense of gratitude and appreciation never goes unnoticed.

And as we roll into the new year, I firmly believe that it is our gratitude and appreciation for the three C’s that may still be ahead of us — Challenges, Chaos and Confusion — that will make the difference. I know that these don’t sound like “Winning Words,” but they are, and let me explain and why I see them as game-changers.

If we had to list all the challenges or difficulties that we have witnessed or that we are experiencing personally, we would have a very lengthy list.

Collectively the list would seem

insurmountable. So why would I intimate that a challenge is something we should be grateful for? It’s because in every challenge we see someone who emerges and goes out of their way to help someone else. We see people sharing God’s love, pursuing God’s will, doing God’s work, and doing it for all of God’s people. And that is a gratitude game-changer right there.

There is no doubt that we are in for more uncertainty in the coming months and the word “challenging” may wind up being an understatement. However, if we look at the word “challenge” differently, challenging ourselves to maintain our attitude of gratitude, this alone will go a long way toward changing the game and keeping us active in the game.

Now how can we possibly use chaos to help us get through what may be a difficult time?

Well for some of us, we need the energy that only chaos can provide. We become alive, creative, and once we see the problem in front of us, we become inspired to find the solution. Chaos helps some of us to thrive instead of hide. While some need to feel the comfort and stability of normalcy, others of us contribute our greatest good to the situation

when we are stimulated by the chaos, in order to see through the chaos. For me, I am super grateful for those around me who respond, even bringing a sense of calm, amidst the chaos.

Confusion is different than chaos. And confusion is good because it is when we are knocked off balance that we seem to learn the most. In a state of confusion, we try and sort things out, solve problems, and come up with elegant solutions. As we know that we cannot recognize light without the contrast of dark, similarly we cannot know what clarity is without feeling what it is to be confused. It’s in that aha moment, as things become abundantly clear, that we realize just how grateful we are for our initial confusion. And any type of personal growth is always a game-changer.

Typically, on Thanksgiving and around the holidays we think of the traditional responses that we give when asked what we are grateful for. We offer up things like our family, friends, health, and other blessings. And those are still wonderful responses.

May we all be thankful for our health and the people in our lives as well. And maybe this

code, very few U.S. states can tell if users are in the same community.

FROM PAGE 6

“The more people who add their phone to the fight against COVID, the more protection we all get.

Everyone should do it,” Sarah Tuneberg, who leads Colorado’s test and containment effort, told reporters on Oct. 29. “The sky’s the limit. Or the population is the limit, really.”

But the population could prove to be quite a limit. Data from earlyadopter governments suggests even those who download the app and use it might not follow directions at the most critical juncture.

According to the Virginia Health Department, from August to November, about 613 app users tested positive and received a code to alert their contacts that they may have exposed them to the virus. About 60% of them actually activated it.

In North Dakota, where the outbreak is so big that human contact tracers can’t keep up, the data is even more dire. In October, about 90 people tested positive and received the codes required to alert their contacts. Only about 30% did so.

Researchers in Dublin tracking app usage in 33 regions around the world have encountered echoes of the same issue. In October, they wrote that in parts of Europe fewer people were alerting their contacts than expected, given the scale of the outbreaks and the number of active app users. Italy and Poland ranked lowest. There, they estimated, just 10% of the app users they’d expect were submitting the codes necessary to warn others.

“I’m not sure that anybody working in this field had foreseen that that could be a problem,” said Lucie Abeler-Dörner, part of a team at the Big Data Institute at England’s University of Oxford studying COVID-19 interventions, including digital contact tracing. “Everybody just assumed that if you sign up for a voluntary app … why would you then not push that button?”

So far, people in the field only have guesses. Abeler-Dörner wonders how much of it has to do with people going into panic mode when they find out they’re positive.

Clarity of instructions questioned Tessaro, the University of Washington computer scientist, asks if the health officials who provide the code need more training on how to provide clear instructions to users.

Elissa Redmiles, a faculty member at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems who is studying what drives people to install contacttracing apps, worries that people may have difficulty inputting their test results.

But Tim Brookins, a Microsoft engineer who developed North

Dakota’s contact-tracing app as a volunteer, has a bleaker outlook.

“There’s a general belief that some people want to load the app so that they can be notified if someone else was positive, in a self-serving way,” he said. “But if they’re positive, they don’t want to take the time.”

Abeler-Dörner called the voluntary notification a design flaw and said the alerts should instead be automatically triggered.

Even with the limitations of the apps, the technology can help identify new COVID cases. In Switzerland, researchers looked at data from two studies of contact-tracing app users. They wrote in a not-yetpeer-reviewed paper that while only 13% of people with confirmed cases in Switzerland used the app to alert their contacts from July to September, that prompted about 1,700 people who had potentially been exposed to call a dedicated hotline for help. And of those, at least 41 people discovered they were, indeed, positive for COVID-19.

In the U.S., another non-peer-reviewed modeling study from Google and Oxford looking at three Washington state counties found that even if only 15% of the population uses a contact-tracing app, it could lead to a drop in COVID-19 infections and deaths. Abeler-Dörner, a study co-author, said the findings could be applicable elsewhere, in broad strokes.

“It will avert infections,” she said.

“If it’s 200 or 1,000 and it prevents 10 deaths, it’s probably worth it.”

That may be true even at low adoption rates if the app users are clustered in certain communities, as opposed to being scattered evenly across the state. But prioritizing privacy has required health departments to forgo the very data that would let them know if users are near one another. While an app in the United Kingdom asks users for the first few digits of their postal

you learned how to be grateful for the unexpected game-changers of life? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can find the elegant solutions in the challenges, the chaos and the confusion, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Some affiliate with schools Some exceptions include North Dakota, Wyoming and Arizona, which allow app users to select an affiliation with a college or university. At the University of Arizona, enough people are using the app that about 27% of people contacted by campus contact tracers said they’d already been notified of a possible exposure. Brookins of Microsoft, who created Care19 Alert, the app used in Wyoming and North Dakota, said that offering an affiliation option also allows people who’ve been exposed to get campusspecific instructions on where to get tested and what to do next.

“In theory, we can add businesses,” he said. “It’s so polarizing, no businesses have wanted to sign up, honestly.”

The privacy-focused design also means researchers don’t have what they need to prove the apps’ usefulness and therefore encourage higher adoption.

“Here there is actually some irony because the fact that we are designing this solution with privacy in mind somehow prevents us from accurately assessing whether the system works as it should,” Tessaro said.

In states including Colorado,

Virginia and Nevada, the embedded privacy protections mean no one knows who has enabled the contacttracing technology. Are they people who barely interact with anyone, or are they essential workers, interacting regularly with many people that human contact tracers would never be able to reach? Are they crossing paths and trading signals with other app users or, if they test positive, will their warning fall silently like a tree in an empty forest? Will they choose to notify people at all?

Colorado’s health department said it’s issuing thousands of COVID codes a day. As of Nov. 18, 3,400 people have used the codes to notify their contacts, it said. An automated system issues codes for positive COVID-19 tests even if the infected people don’t have the app, making it impossible to know how many users are acting on the codes.

“I have hope that the vast majority of Coloradans will take this opportunity to give this gift of exposure notification to other people,” said Tuneberg. “I believe Coloradans will do it.”

Holiday celebrations amid the pandemic

Some mainstays are canceled, but many beloved events soldier on

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

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.”

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.

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 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.

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.

Canceled The Colorado Ballet has canceled its in-theater production of “The Nutcracker” due to COVID-19. Instead, ballet fans can catch this year’s rendition on Rocky Mountain PBS. The show will air Dec. 19 at 1 a.m.; Dec. 24 at 7 p.m. and again on Dec. 25 at 12 a.m. (midnight in the wee hours of Christmas morning).

Various holiday events including the annual Golden Candlelight Walk, Lakewood Lights and ice skating at Skyline Park and Belmar have been canceled this year. With COVID-19 rates continuing to rise, city and county restrictions are subject to change, so be sure to check local regulations and websites of events you’re planning to attend in advance.

Camp Christmas Camp Christmas, the brainchild of local installation artist Lonnie Hanzon, was brought to life in 2019.

Produced with help from Denver Center for Performing Arts’ Off Center, Camp Christmas turned a 10,000-square-foot hangar at Stanley Marketplace in Aurora into an Instagrammer’s holiday dream come true. 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.

‘Harvey’ playwright led rich life in Denver New book by Colorado author is biography of Mary Coyle Chase

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“I’m an old stage and drama teacher,” said Colorado author Mimi Pockross, who has recently published a charming book about a theater legend, Denver’s Mary Coyle Chase, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Harvey” debuted on Broadway in 1944, ran until 1949 and has been produced across the nation and around the world since by professional theatres, high school theatres and many community theatre companies.

Pockross said that in the process of writing “Pulling Harvey Out of Her Hat: The Amazing Story of Mary Coyle Chase,” she sought Chase’s children and spoke with her son Jerry, the youngest sibling, who recently passed away — and his wife.

In her lifetime, Chase published 14 plays, three screenplays and two popular children’s books.

Her parents were Irish immigrants who brought a storytelling tradition with them to the lively Western city of Denver, where a mixed population varied from Mrs. Crawford Hill’s “Sacred 36” to middle-class folks and rowdy miners and others from across

the world. (Pockross skillfully tucks a mini-history of Denver and the nation between the lines here.)

Young Mary soaked up tales of pookas, as her uncles and parents traded stories after family dinners. Elwood P. Dowd’s 6-foot-tall rabbit friend is considered a pooka. Mary is described as a bright, restless child who graduated from West High in three years.

One spring day in 1918, she skipped out of school and headed for the theatre district, Curtis and California Streets, where she was attracted by a sign at the Denham: “the Wilkes Players Company Presents Shakespeare’s `Macbeth.’” Or it may have been “Hamlet” or some other play at the Orpheum or Broadway — accounts are mixed, the author says. (More than 66 theatres existed in Denver at the time.

By 1929, the few that remained became movie houses.)

With the first scene, Mary was hooked ... She found a copy of “William Archer’s “Playmaking: A Manual of Craftsmanship” (1911) at the library, which addressed craftmanship and practical aspects and advised a reader to rely on her own instincts.

She enrolled at the University of Denver to study the classics, then became a reporter with the “Rocky Mountain News” at a time when a few women were starting to “find their way into journalism,” Pockross writes. She next returned to college at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she was not invited to join

“Pulling Harvey Out of Her Hat” by Mimi Pockross tells the story of Mary Coyle Chase, the Denverite who wrote the beloved drama “Harvey.”

COURTESY IMAGE a sorority …

Social commentary entered her work — an early play was “Chi House,” which became “Sorority House,” eventually a movie in 1939.

Disenchanted with higher education, she left Boulder and eventually was hired by the Rocky Mountain News as a society columnist at $15 a week.

She dressed as a flapper in black, with pearls, and covered stories that ranged from society events to shootings ...

She met and married reporter Robert Chase, a solid, steady, supportive man, who eventually rose to an associate editor’s rank during a 47-year career with the Rocky Mountain News.

(Mary was fired after a prank.)

The couple had three sons between 1932 and 1936, living in rented homes, and money was scarce. Bob gradually rose at the paper and Mary did some freelance writing and charmed her boys with wonderful bedtime stories.

Bob worked a night shift and she went to a typewriter on the dining room table to develop her ideas. A novel was rejected and she set up a tiny box stage and used spools as characters as she began to develop “Me Third,” a play about a social climber.

The Great Depression hit the nation and theatres closed as they have today.

The Federal Theatre Project developed as part of the New Deal. In Denver, the University Civic Theatre was formed on the University of Denver campus.

Popular Broadway touring companies, Pockross says, appeared at Central City in the summer and at the Elitch Stock Theatre.

Mary Chase met Andy Slane, local director of the Federal Theatre Project, who became an advocate for her and produced her “Me Third.” Mary acted some and decided to aim for SEE PLAYWRIGHT, P31

The striped pair will probably have to circle and sniff for a while, but the strongly-formed circular tiered platforms, just installed inside the acre-plus bit of land called The Edge, should invite the tigers to

“explore, play, exercise and sleep,” according to Brian Aucone, senior vice president for animal sciences at the zoo. See DenverPublicArt.org for more about the collection.

‘The Nutcracker’ Those of us who like an annual “Nutcracker” fix will want to remember that the event will appear four more times on Rocky Mountain PBS with Colorado Ballet: Dec. 18 at 9 p.m.; Dec. 19 at 1 a.m.; Dec. 24 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 25 at 12 a.m. (the wee hours of Christmas morning). Visit rmpbs.org/ channels or stream through the holiday season on the Rocky Mountain PBS app, downloadable at rmpbs.org/ pbs-video-app. We plan to watch and SEE SAMPLER, P31

“On the Rise” by Wendy Khawaja is new at the Denver Zoo. Amur tigers Yuri and Nikta will enjoy it.

Denver Christkindl Market is rare holiday holdout

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.

With other iconic celebrations, such as Colorado Ballet’s “The Nutcracker” and the Parade of Lights, being modified or canceled, Reed said the market is more important to the holiday season than ever.

“There’s nothing to do and this is an opportunity for them to go outside,” Reed said. “It’s a really magical experience in a way that you can’t access this year.”

Besides just holiday fun, this year

the market is also providing essential funds for numerous small businesses.

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-yearold 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.

Reed said though all of the market’s huts are being utilized this year, most with returning vendors, the market lost some of its regulars over COVID-19 economic impacts.

Reed said a Danish pastry vendor that usually has a triple booth at the market had to drop out entirely.

“This is the only chance to make the money this year and they’re really reliant on it,” Reed said.

In addition to helping fund the ven-

dors’ businesses, the annual market is also essential to the German American Chamber of Commerce.

Reed said the market is one of the only fundraising events for the chamber and its main source of revenue.

And while sales are being made, they’re noticeably lower than previous years.

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.

Outdoor rec is economic bright spot amid pandemic Industry says spending took off after spring restrictions were lifted

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Outdoor recreation is emerging as a critical element in the economic recovery from COVID-19 as the recreation economy delivers a larger share of U.S. economic output for the second consecutive year.

The federal government’s latest tally of the outdoor recreation economy showed a $787.6 billion economic impact from businesses supporting 5.2 million jobs. The report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis issued last week showed outdoor recreation’s businesses and participants supported 2.1% of the nation’s economic output, or gross domestic product.

This is the third annual report on the U.S. recreation economy. The 2017 report was the first to quantify the growing role of recreation in the national economy. Each year since, the recreation economy has grown, often at a faster rate than the national economy.

The 2019 report from the BEA showed the recreation economy providing $459.8 billion in “nominal value” — spending minus the costs of goods and services — to the gross domestic product, which the bureau counted as $21.4 trillion in 2019. The bureau’s 2019 study showed the recreation economy’s “real gross output,” which covers consumer and business

spending as well as wages, reached $787.6 billion, up from $776.8 billion in 2018 and $759.6 billion in 2017.

The outdoor recreation economy in the U.S. is “bigger than mining and bigger than agriculture and on par with broadcasting and telecommunications,” said bureau economist Dirk van Duym in a presentation on Nov. 10 after the report was released.

In Colorado, outdoor recreation accounted for more than $12.2 billion in economic impact, or about 3.1% of the state’s total economy. Outdoor recreation businesses in Colorado employed 149,140 workers who earned $6.4 billion.

Not surprisingly, winter activities in Colorado delivered more than any other state, with a $1.7 billion contribution to the state’s economy. At a national level, winter sports was the sixth largest economic contributor in the outdoor recreation industry, with a $6.3 billion impact.

Boating and fishing — the most popular outdoor activity in 30 states — led the outdoor recreation economy with a $23.6 billion contribution to the nation’s gross domestic product.

Touring in recreational vehicles — or RVing — was next, with an $18.6 billion contribution, followed by hunting and motorcycling.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis said the outdoor recreation economy was led by the arts, entertainment, recreation, accommodation and food services industries. Other industries driving the recreation economy include retail and manufacturing.

In Colorado, accommodation and food services led the state’s recreation economy — which is driven largely by

private businesses — followed by arts, entertainment, recreation and retail shops. (The bureau analysis considers attendance at festivals and concerts as outdoor recreation.)

All the industries that drive the country’s recreation economy are the ones that have suffered most during the pandemic, which settled hard on the West during the busy spring ski season and saw resorts, hotels and restaurants shuttered from mid-March into May. Outdoor recreation was ranked nationally among impacted industries in the pandemic, alongside food, lodging and hospitality. Recreation industry losses came not only from closures of outdoor areas, shops and manufacturing plants but also impacts to domestic and international supply chains.

But as shutdowns lifted this spring, outdoor recreation boomed “like never before,” said Jessica Turner, the head of the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable, a coalition of 33 outdoor recreation organizations representing more than 110,000 businesses.

Participation in outdoor activities has hovered around 48% to 50% of the population in the last 15 years of tracking by the Outdoor Industry Association. Surveys of participation from this summer and fall suggest participation has climbed to all-time highs near 69%, the association’s executive director Lise Aangeenbrug said, pointing to health and wellness contributions beyond dollars that are tied to people getting outside to play.

Erik Pritchard, the head of the Motorcycle Industry Council, said sales of motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and side-by-side, off-highway vehicles during the pandemic are setting

records with double-digit percentage growth in 2020 over 2018 and 2019.

Outdoor recreation is “one of the few sectors holding up the economy during COVID,” said Frank Hugelmeyer, president of the National Marine Manufacturers Association, noting “a remarkable shift in how consumers are spending” during the pandemic.

Between March and June this year, the boating industry sold 44,000 boats, a 10% increase over the same period of 2019, Hugelmeyer said. In Colorado, sales of rafts, paddleboards and kayaks boomed in the spring as rivers and lakes swelled with socially-distanced paddlers.

The campground industry is on trajectory to surpass 2019’s record traffic, even after the spring shutdown, said Paul Bambei, the head of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, which represents about 3,000 privately-owned RV parks.

Citing the Kampgrounds of America “Growth of Camping Amid COVID-19” report issued last week, Bambei said the campground industry saw a 185% increase in cancellations through April. But the industry has rebounded, with tens of thousands of firsttime campers, Bambei said, noting a 19% increase in campground reservations in September and a 20% increase in deposits on RV and camper purchases for 2021.

“This was a break-out year to get behind the wheel,” he said.

Valor rolls past Legend and into title game Eagles defeated Titans 45-0 in state semifinals

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

First-year Valor Christian coach Donnie Yantis knew all about the expectations when he took over the Eagles’ football program.

Yantis’ team now has a chance to meet those expectations after the second-seeded Eagles rolled to a 45-0 win over No. 3 Legend in the Class 5A state football semifinals Nov. 28 at Valor.

Valor has won eight state championships, five in Class 5A, two in 4A and one in 3A. It will be the sixth time in the past seven seasons that Valor will be in the state championship game.

“Yes this is what I expected,” said Yantis, who came to Valor after being an assistant at Arizona State for two seasons and a former head coach at Arizona Christian University. “One of the reasons I came here and accepted the job was the school is about excellence. The expectations are to win a championship and we have an opportunity to try and do that. I’m so thankful God placed me here and gave these kids an opporutnity to play. I am thankful for the governor and CHSAA for allowing this season to happen,” Valor (7-0) will play top-seeded and defending state champion Cherry Creek (8-0) in the state finals, which

No fans will be allowed to attend the championship game. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Enviroment tightened its guidelines for the

CSU Pueblo ThunderDome Stadium because of the growing spread of COVID-19.

Valor and Cherry Creek, which will be seeking its 11th state football title, have met in two other championship games. Valor defeated Creek, 24-14, in 2018 and the Bruins edged the Eagles, 25-24, to take the 2014 title.

‘I think it is great for the state of Colorado, getting the two best teams in Colorado together,” said Yantis.

“Dave (Creek coach Dave Logan) has a great staff, great team and program over there. We look forward to preparing for them. I tell our kids it doesn’t matter who we play. It is a matter of doing what we do and doing it very well.”

Valor did everything very well against Legend (7-1), which sustained its first loss of the season.

All the scoring was done in the first half as Valor got the mercy rule clock running just before halftime with its 45-0 lead, which followed a 31-point second-quarter outburst on a warm, sunny afternoon.

“It was an awesome start,” said senior quarterback Sean McNair, who directs the Eagles’ fast-paced offense.

“All three phases of the game really picked it up. We had defense, offense and special teams and we just came out hot. We prepared all week, came out and we just did what we practiced.

McNair didn’t play in the second half, thanks to the big lead as Valor used a lot of second-team players.

He completed 10 of 18 passes in the first two quarters for 167 yards and a touchdown. Junior Gavin Sawchuk, the state’s leading 5A rusher who didn’t play in the first-round game or in the second half, had 74 yards and a touchown. Sawchuk’s younger brother, Gabe, was the featured back in the second half and finished with 93 yards and a TD. Jordan Norwood rushed for a TD, Jackson Zimmermann caught the scoring pass from McNair, Luke Meyer ran 18 yards to paydirt with a fumble recovery and Mitchell Bigelow scored on a blocked punt.

Legend wound up with only three first downs in the game and had just five yards rushing with 38 yards passing.

Still, Titans coach Monte Thelen was looking ahead after the game.

“All the credit needs to go to Valor,” said Thelen. “They proved that they belong in the state championship game, but things are really positive at Legend. Five years ago, our RPI was in the 30s, now we’re three. That doesn’t happen overnight. It’s happened with a lot of elbow grease by a lot of young men and we are proud of them. We are

“There’s room for improvement right now but we’ll keep working.

You’ve got to take the good with the bad. We’ve had a whole bunch of good and today was a little bit of a bad taste.”

Legend’s Bryce Vaz, a Valor transfer who replaced injured starter Connor Eise and had 310 rushing yards in the Nov. 21 first-round game against Fairview, carried the ball only once for four yards. Eise had 10 yards on seven carries.

Jaxon Muma was the leader for the Legend defense with 17 total tackles, including 14 solo stops.

The names behind the peaks New book tells history, stories of Colorado’s fourteeners

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When fifth-generation Coloradan Jeri Norgren learned that the Denver Fortnightly Club was responsible for helping get Mount Evans’ name changed from Mount Rosalie, she started researching more of the history behind the names of Colorado’s iconic mountains.

“I was doing it for fun,” Norgren said. But then she found that much of the full history of the peaks’ names has never been documented. “And I

Broadway, where wealthy Coloradan Antoinette Perry lived and funded friend/producer Brock Pemberton.

(The Tony Awards were posthumously named for her.) Chase sent her “Me Third” script to Pemberton, who invited her to come to New York and rewrite it five weeks after her third son was born. Chase’s husband took care of the children, sold their car and took out a loan to raise money for train fare and living expenses in New York. The title was changed to “Now You’ve Done It” and it ran for 43 days ...

Pemberton encouraged Chase to keep writing as she sadly returned to Denver.

Next try was with “Sorority House,” inspired by her unhappy experience. It was turned into a film in 1939.

World War II started, and Mary, affected by a sad time such as we are experiencing now, started thinking about pookas and completed a lighter manuscript after two years. She had a nightmare about a psychiatrist being chased by a tall white rabbit, which launched her.

A perfectly constructed “The White Rabbit” interested Pember-

decided there needs to be a book.”

She continued her research, and eventually contacted Colorado photographer and outdoors enthusiast John Fielder to inquire about getting involved with the book.

The result of the collaborative effort is called “Colorado’s Highest: The History of Naming the 14,000-Foot Peaks.”

The book, which came out in September, contains Norgren’s essays on how the names were chosen for the 58 highest mountains in Colorado; Fielder’s photographs of the fourteeners, including many that have never before been published; color transparencies of Jefferson County’s Robert L. Wogrin’s oil paintings; and historical sketches made in the 1870s by the artists of the Hayden Survey.

“People who enjoy Colorado history will love this book,” Fielder said.

ton, who raised money to produce it and sought an actor for the lead part of Elwood P. Dowd, responding to a friend’s suggestion that he hire actor Frank Fay, a reformed alcoholic, with the right bit of Irish. Fay was interested and Josephine Hull was perfect as Elwood’s sister Veta.

This time, Mary had a cash advance to get to New York, rewrites were completed, the name was changed to “Harvey,” at Fay’s suggestion and after a Boston tryout, “Harvey” opened at the 48th Street Theatre on Nov. 1, 1944. Audiences were enchanted — and the rest is history.

It played for four and a half years at first and Mary Chase became a millionaire. In May 1945, “Harvey” won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama “on account of its richness of content and the fresh imaginative field it has taken over; as well as in plot and character that marked a departure from the usual Broadway play.” (Other candidates: “Dark of the Moon,” “The Hasty Heart” and “The Glass Menagerie.”)

“Pulling Harvey Out of Her Hat”

by Mimi Pockross offers interesting ideas about what it may take to create a play, as well as a slice of local history — perfect fare for a reader wanting diversions and ideas on a winter’s night — or any time.

The book is published by Rowman & Littlefield.

COURTESY PHOTO

In addition to the stories about who first climbed the fourteeners, there is information about the early days of mining, Colorado’s Native Americans

and much more, states a news release.

“The more I researched, the more questions I had that I wanted to find the answers to,” Norgren said. She added the content in the book is not a re-telling of the snippets of the history that you learn in school. “You learn about what life was like climbing these peaks in Colorado more than 150 years ago.”

Fielder enjoyed looking back at the photos he has taken of Colorado’s outdoors — some of which were taken about 30 years ago — because it brought back the sensuous experiences of nature he felt at the time of being there and photographing the landscapes, he said.

“The best part of my life is being able to share the most remote and sublime mountain places with people far and wide,” Fielder said. “I love sharing how beautiful Colorado is.”
