Schools moving to remote learning COVID-19 cases rising, prompting decision to make switch after Thanksgiving break

Park Meadows poised for a busy season Mall’s general manager says stores and restaurants are following COVID-19 protocols

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the metro area deals with tighter restrictions on businesses, Park Meadows remains bustling with shoppers as the mall’s busiest season begins.

Pam Kelly, senior general manager for Park Meadows Retail Resort, recently stated the mall has been the subject of zero confirmed outbreaks,

as determined by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The CDPHE is responsible for tracking outbreaks, or a sudden rise in positive COVID-19 cases, throughout the state.

Kelly said mall officials remain vigilant on all fronts to curb the spread of the disease at Park Meadows.

“The last thing in the world we want is a closure,” Kelly said, noting that the Tri-County Health Department has given the mall good marks for its social distancing protocols. “All of that is because the stores and the restaurants are doing the protocols that are put in place.”

With COVID-19 cases mounting, the Douglas County School District has decided to switch entirely to remote learning after Thanksgiving break.

“We want our families to know that our teachers and staff very much wanted to continue with in-person learning,” states a Nov. 12 letter addressed to families and staff signed by interim Suprintendent Corey Wise. “Making the Wise decision to transition to remote learning, yet again, has been absolutely heartbreaking.”

The district cited surges in COVID-19 cases and quarantines for their reasoning for switching to remote learning, adding that the situation makes staffing shortages impossible to overcome. As of Nov. 13, there had been 540 positive cases in the district since the start of the pandemic in March, according to a data dashboard from the district.

State again tightens county’s COVID-19 restrictions County now at level that is one step from a stay-at-home order

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ‘YELLOW’ AND ‘ORANGE’ The following are some differences between “Level Yellow” and “Level Orange,” which the county was placed on effective Nov. 13: • Places of worship and life rites can now have 25% capacity or 50 people for seated events, instead of 50% or 100 people.

• Restaurants can now have 25% capacity or 50 people for indoor seating, instead of 50% capacity or 50 people • Noncritical offices and retail stores can now have 25% capacity instead of 50%.

• Gyms can now have

Douglas County has been moved into “Level Orange” on the state’s dial framework, which is just one step away from “Stay At Home,” or the restriction level put in place by the governor in the spring shortly after the pandemic hit Colorado.

“Level Orange” means greater restrictions, including smaller capacities for gyms, restaurants, events, places of worship and noncritical office spaces. The new restrictions went into effect Nov. 13.

The decision was made by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment due to a large spike in case numbers and incidence rates in the county.

In a statement, a CDPHE spokesperson asked for help from the community in stopping the spread of the virus.

“We are at a pivotal juncture,” according to the email. “Regardless of any public health order, we need everyone to step up and fully participate in mitigation tactics — like wearing a mask, distancing a minimum of six feet from others and not interacting with other households—if we are to

25% capacity or 25 people, instead of 50 people.

• Group sports and camps can now only have virtual events or outdoor events with fewer than 10 people.

• Indoor seated events can have 25% capacity or 50 people, instead of 50% or 100 people.

• Outdoor seated events can have 25% capacity or 75 people, instead of 50% or 175 people.

suppress the spread of COVID-19 in advance of the holiday season.”

Under “Level Orange,” gyms limitations went from 25% capacity or 50 people to 25% or 25 people. Restaurants went from 50% capacity or 50 people to 25% capacity or up to 50 people. Offices of noncritical businesses are now limited to 25% capacity instead of 50%.

The state moved the county to “Level Yellow” on Oct. 29. At that time, the county’s incidence rate was 235.5

cases per 100,000 residents, according to a letter from CDPHE to Douglas County. As of Nov. 13, the county’s incidence rate was up to 625 cases per 100,000 people.

Hospitalizations and deaths are also on the rise, according to data from TriCounty Health Department. As of Nov. 13, five Douglas County residents had died of COVID-19 this month.

“Given the increase in incidence rates in Douglas County and across the State, we have decided that the

implementation of COVID-19 Dial Level Orange restrictions is suitable at this time,” according to the Nov. 10 letter, signed by Jill Ryan, executive director of CDPHE. In a news release, the Douglas County board of commissioners said they will continue to partner with Tri-County Health Department, municipalities, the business community and large special districts to “advocate aggressively for the behaviors that reduce COVID-19 transmission.”

County formally rescinds notice to withdraw from Tri-County Douglas County will stay with the agency until at least the end of 2022

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a letter sent to an attorney representing the Tri-County Health Department, Douglas County on Nov. 10 formally rescinded its notice to withdraw from the agency.

Douglas County commissioners voted to leave the agency on July 9, one day after the department’s board of health voted to impose a mask mandate on the county. The letter gave a one-year notice until the county would no longer receive services from the department.

Now, the county will remain with the agency until at least Dec. 31, 2022, according to the Nov. 10 letter, signed by the county’s attorney.

The county and the health department have been in negotiations about how to remain together since a few weeks after the commissioners announced their decision to leave, said Dr. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County.

Douglas said his staff is pleased to have come to an agreement with the commissioners and added that he thinks they ended up in “in a pretty good place.”

“It was, frankly, quite a big distraction,” he said. “We were having to spend a lot of time to see if we could prevent this divorce in the middle of a pandemic.”

The commissioners’ decision to rescind comes after Tri-County’s Board of Health voted to enact a new policy regarding implementation of countywide health orders on Nov. 6.

The new policy allows elected officials to have more power in public health decisions. For future countywide decisions, elected officials will be consulted before they are put in place, will be given the opportunity to opt out of any order, and if an emergency order is put in place, they will be consulted as soon as possible.

In a joint statement released through a spokesperson, county commissioners thanked Douglas and the department for their work in finding a solution.

“This new approach to issuing public health orders addresses our primary concerns – increased local control, collaboration, and communication with our public health department as part of the process,” according to the statement.

In July, commissioners said they planned to develop their own health department as a replacement to TriCounty.

“Effective immediately, our board directed staff to begin the work of creating a separate public health department that will appropriately meet the needs of Douglas County,” Roger Partridge, county commissioner, said in a news release at the time.

However, no formal decisions were ever made regarding formation of a new health department.

Commissioners directed county attorney Lance Ingalls to send the letter rescinding the withdrawal in a Nov. 10 work session.

Metro counties likely headed for stay-at-home orders, health chief says Tri-County Health director hopes governor’s clout will yield public buy-in for orders

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With most of the Denver metro area operating one step short of a stay-at-home order in the system of Colorado’s coronavirus-related restrictions, a local public health chief says it’s likely only a matter of time before the type of lockdowns seen this spring return.

Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Elbert and Broomfield counties were in safer-at-home level orange, one step below a stay-at-home, as of Nov.

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

11. Douglas County was set to move to safer-at-home level orange on Nov. 13, according to the state’s COVID-19 website. The levels of restrictions affect capacity levels at restaurants, places of worship, businesses, events and other settings.

The safer-at-home policy is the set

of rules that came after the statewide stay-at-home order this spring and allowed numerous types of businesses to reopen.

In mid-September, Colorado broke the safer-at-home policy into three levels that counties are placed under based on the severity of local COVID-19 spread. The state recently switched to color identifiers — levels blue, yellow and orange rather than 1, 2 and 3 — to avoid confusion. Red is a stay-at-home order.

“Most counties in the orange level actually have case rates that are way above the threshold for being classified in the red level, and unless we can reduce rates by our residents dramatically limiting their personal get-togethers, I’m afraid that many or most of these counties will end up in a stay-at-home status,” said John Douglas, executive director of TriCounty Health Department, the local

health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Douglas was one of several publichealth agency directors who signed a Nov. 5 letter to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, urging the state to speed up the process of moving counties to tighter restrictions.

At least some counties in the past couple months have not been moved to a stricter level as soon as local data on the virus’ spread exceed the standards for remaining in a current level. For example, Arapahoe County exceeded the threshold for safer-at-home level 1, now known as level blue, on Sept. 18, but it did not move to safer-at-home level 2, now known as level yellow, until Oct. 28.

The state has generally allowed counties time to attempt to reverse SEE COVID, P24

18th Judicial District Attorney race headed for recount Final tally from state shows Kellner at 50.1%, Padden at 49.9%

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The race to lead the 18th Judicial District is headed to an automatic recount, according to the final results posted by the Colorado Secretary of State the evening of Nov. 13.

The final tally shows Republican John Kellner with 50.1% of the vote and Democrat Amy Padden with 49.9% in the race to be the next district attorney.

By law, a recount is held if the difference between their votes was less than or equal to one-half of 1% of the leader’s vote count, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, which oversees elections.

The margin of 1,418 votes is within the 0.5% threshold necessary for an automatic recount.

“I feel pretty good about the position we are in headed into the recount,” Kellner said Nov. 16. “I’m excited to get to work. I’m feeling really thrilled that so many people voted in a DA race and are interested in what we do and how we do it. I’m just ready to start serving the people of the 18th.”

Padden held a slim lead on Election Night, Nov. 3, but as counting continued in the following days, Kellner emerged with a slight advantage on Nov. 5.

Padden’s campaign released a statement Nov. 16: “There was unprecedented interest in, and turnout for, this race because people want change in our criminal justice system in the 18th JD. We remain committed to ensuring that everyone’s vote is counted, and a mandatory recount (like ballot curing) is a part of the process established by the legislature to ensure as much. Thus, we intend to see the recount process through until the end to make sure that every vote is counted,” the statement reads.

Nov. 13 was the deadline for all county ballot tabulations. The secretary of state has until Nov. 30 to compile ballot returns and appropriate recounts, according to its 2020

election calendar.

The 18th Judicial District comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties and is Colorado’s most populous district. The 2020 winner will replace term-limited Republican George Brauchler and will assume office in Kellner January.

At the county level, Kellner held strong leads in three of the district’s counties: Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln. Meanwhile, Padden garnered a high percentage of votes in Arapahoe County.

Padden Kellner, of Greenwood Village, is currently a prosecutor for the 18th Judicial District. He specializes in cold cases and homicides and helped found the district’s cold case unit. Kellner also served in prosecutorial roles while on active duty in the Marine Corps.

“It’s not going to be a huge transition in terms of learning how the office functions,” Kellner said. “Really, it’s going to be the challenge of putting my campaign promises into effect, especially as we head into what’s going to be a very difficult year with the COVID case backlog.”

Kellner said he wants to start immediately on expanding the district’s problem solving force, especially now with the tightening public health restrictions.

“We’ve seen an increase in substance abuse, dependency and, frankly, suicides and overdoses,” Kellner said.

Padden, of Aurora, has been an attorney for almost 26 years. She started in private practice and later served as a prosecutor at the Colorado Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Padden currently works in the 11th Judicial District, which covers Chaffee, Custer, Fremont and Custer counties.

The winner of this election will be the last district attorney to lead the 18th Judicial District as it operates today, after the state Legislature this year passed a bill to split up the fastgrowing district into two after this district attorney’s term.

Southwest Village plan calls for 2,200 single-family homes

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A plan for 2,200 single-family homes, three parks, a recreation center and an elementary school site east of I-25 in Lone Tree will go before the city’s planning commission Nov. 18.

Lone Tree City Council will hold a public hearing on the Southwest Village subdivision likely in December and could approve the plan in January.

The Southwest Village Preliminary Plan, submitted by Shea Homes, the master developer, calls for 1,223 single-

family detached homes and 959 singlefamily attached homes spanning 2,000 acres in the southwest quadrant of RidgeGate East, east of I-25 and south of RidgeGate Parkway. Once complete, the subdivision is estimated to have a population of more than 5,300 — more than half of Lone Tree’s current population of about 15,000. There are about 6,000 households in Lone Tree today. The city expects that number to reach 23,000 by 2040.

More than 400 acres of open space, 116 acres for school sites and 65 acres for a city-planned park are included in the developer’s land dedications.

MALL FROM PAGE 1

Park Meadows has operated under a special variance from CDPHE since May. Under that exemption, Park Meadows had to implement enhanced cleaning measures, like regular use of electrostatic cleaning devices, installing a special heating, ventilation and cooling system, and removing most of their common-area “soft” seating.

Masks are required at all times inside the mall, except when seated in the dining area.

However, Park Meadows’ greatest challenge this year looms. Nov. 27 is Black Friday, the mall’s busiest day of the year. On Nov. 13, Douglas County moved to Level 3 “Safer at Home” orders, limiting store capacity to 25% as opposed to 50%.

The shopping season could still have that holiday feel. Park Meadows is offering a “touchless” Santa this year.

Parents can make reservations online to have their child take a photo with Santa. Kids can choose whether or not to wear a mask for the photo.

“After this year, too, our biggest thing was trying to make people feel that holiday spirit again and make people feel cheerful again, after this year has been brutal on everybody,” said Whitney Miller, director of the Park Meadows business improvement district. “We have done marketing campaigns about shopping safely, about gifting kindness, about making memories still because we still can do that. It just looks a little bit different this year. We don’t want to take the entire experience away, like some places are. We just want to make it so it’s more accessible to everybody and

Pam Kelly, senior general manager for Park Meadows, shows off the new touchless Santa display Nov. 13. The display allows for families to take photos with Santa and kids can have some one-on-one time with the big man.

PHOTO BY NICK PUCKETT a safe environment.”

Kelly said the touchless Santa could be more successful than the tradition of lap-sitting and Christmas small talk.

“Kids get to see Santa, they get their picture taken and they’re not as scared as kids sometimes are,” Kelly said. “They’ll still have the million lights and 3-D glasses to keep, get their picture, by reservation only, so there’s no big lines…

“We try to keep it as safe as possible.”

Patrons get 15 minutes to walk around the Santa display and take as many selfies as they want. Kids can talke to Santa and have their photo taken as well. The display opens Nov. 20.

Kelly added that the mall offers a new program called the “jingle ring,” in which kids can get a personalized message from Santa and Mrs. Claus

and listen to them read a Christmas story online.

“Not only is it the culture of Park Meadows, it’s the culture of Lone Tree,” Kelly said about providing the Santa options. “There’s so many of the Colorado experiences we’re not sure people are to be able to do this holiday season, so for us to just do a (picture) frame or something ‘not Colorado’ … doesn’t seem aligned with our purpose in the community.”

Q&A with Park Meadows general manager Pam Kelly Manager describes protocols for shopping with safety in mind

ted onto a giant sleigh.

Colorado Community Media spoke with Kelly as the holiday season approaches: What is Black Friday going to look like?

We open at 7 a.m.

Macy’s, Dick’s (Sporting Goods) and JCPenney open at 5 a.m. A lot of Kelly the stores have done Black Friday throughout the whole month of November. We are open from 7 (a.m. to) 9 p.m. Being open 14 hours, the concept is the longer we’re open the more spread out the shopping time is. We are also open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays.

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In any other year, Santa would have been at Park Meadows since Halloween.

A practically necessary addition for any mall during the holiday shopping seasons of November and December, Santa almost didn’t come at all this year to Park Meadows, due to ongoing concerns with the pandemic.

Park Meadows’ senior general manager, Pam Kelly, felt it was more important than ever to give kids a chance to visit Santa.

Kids passing by the massive North Pole set on Nov. 13 stopped to peek at the set. The mall spends roughly $1 million every year on seasonal decorations.

Families will get 15 minutes to walk the display and take selfies with the decorations. Patrons must be masked but can remove their masks for photos.

Santa will be at Park Meadows beginning Nov. 20. Kids can talk to Santa through the touchless display, a microphone through plexiglass fit-

6-9). We’re heavily discouraging them from having Black Friday-only sales.

help mitigate some of those problems as well, moving into the future.

But stores still could have Black Fridayonly sales?

Oh, sure. They just have to be willing to limit their numbers. You have the wait list, but no matter what, we’re not allowing anyone to exceed that gathering limitation for people waiting to get into their stores.

Do you expect a significant loss to your projected revenue bottom line because of the pandemic?

Sales won’t be equal to what they were the year prior. There’s no expectation of that. We do hope the consumer still supports their local bricks-and-mortar people and I think they will. We’re reliable. We get immediate gratification. You get to see the sparkle. You get to actually participate in the magic of Christmas. If you’ve been all cooped up, quarantining and safedistancing, with the extended hours — especially if you want to come on the early side, the first hour or the last hour — it’s a very safe environment all the time, but then you don’t even feel crowded.

What are some changes you’ve noticed around here that could stick around for the long run at Park Meadows?

I think the concept of hygiene. I think we’re going to maintain all of our sanitation stations. We’re going to maintain our cleaning. We’re much more mindful of it, which is important, past COVID, because we still have a pretty significant flu season every year, and I think what we’ve learned from this is we’re just going to be a safer place in the long run.

The hand sanitizing stations, many of our cleaning protocols—we invested all that money into sanitizing equipment, I’m not going to just give it up. Even if I only used it in the restrooms, it would be a good thing to do. The MERV-13 (minimum efficiency reporting value), the antibacterial filtration system — with that, the smoke and the other problems we have in Colorado — these things will

During Black Friday weekend, do the capacity limits currently in place stay the same?

Yes. The 50% (capacity limit) is in the stores. At the shopping center, the whole building is 2 million square feet, so its capacity limit is pretty high. But we watch what the tracker counts each hour as (customers) come in. We have a contingency plan (to limit capacity further, if necessary), but we’ve not reached anything close to that.

Will most stores have “Black Friday”type sales throughout the month?

They all started last weekend (Nov.

The best news is, perhaps, that since you’ve reopened in May, zero outbreaks have been traced to Park Meadows. When you see that statistic, what do you think?

It speaks to the stores. It speaks to the commitment of the managers in the stores and the customers. We still deal, on a daily basis, with customers, and even a few employees, that don’t want to wear their masks.

That is a criteria. You have to have a mask to shop here and to work here, certainly.

Where to get a free COVID-19 test Insurance not necessary at roughly 50 sites throughout state

the Colorado Division of Insurance.

But some health insurance offered

by Americans’ employers — known as self-funded or self-insured health plans — have refused to pay for COVID-19 tests at all or have required that consumers pay some costs, according to a letter from congressional Democrats to federal officials in July.

Coloradans can avoid all the uncertainty surrounding costs by accessing testing at one of roughly 50 state-supported “community testing” locations, where testing is free, health insurance is not necessary and doctor’s notes are not needed.

The state generally provides testing supplies or other support to those locations.

Here are the details on where and when — and what Coloradans need to do — to get tested at those sites.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Eight months into the COVID-19 pandemic’s detected spread through Colorado — and with Denver metroarea counties seeing cases rise to levels that may trigger local stay-athome orders — the need for COVID-19 tests remains high, and options abound for where Coloradans can access testing.

In March, there was confusion over the actual cost of a test. “Testing is free,” a March 10 state news release said.

The cost of medical visits related to getting tested was a different story.

Because of federal legislation later that month, people with any kind of private health insurance should have free access to the COVID-19 test — along with any doctor visits associated with getting the test, according to

Other Denver metro testing locations

Some locations new, some closed Since summer, the list of the major state-supported testing sites has changed — some locations have closed and some new ones have opened.

Two schools switch to remote learning amid COVID-19 surges Douglas County and Legend high schools made the move Nov. 10

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just a few days before the district announced that all schools would be switching to remote learning following Thanksgiving break, two county high schools announced they would make

REMOTE FROM PAGE 1

“DCSD currently has nearly 5,000 students and staff members in quarantine and 13 schools in remote learning status, and it appears those numbers will continue to rise in the coming days,” the letter states.

One day after the letter came out, the district’s dashboard showed nearly 6,000 students and staff in quarantine.

The last day of in-person learning was scheduled to be Nov. 18 for some students and Nov. 19 for others, depending on a student’s grade level and cohort schedule. Remote learning is scheduled to begin Nov. 30.

Kallie Leyba, president of the local teachers union, the Douglas County Federation, said in an emailed statement that teachers are disappointed that it has come to this but that they support the decision given the case numbers, quarantines and staff shortages.

“We hope that we can return to the school buildings in January and finish the year face-to-face,” Leyba said.

that change immediately, according to letters sent to families and staff Nov. 9.

Douglas County High School in Castle Rock and Legend High School in Parker both halted in-person learning and began virtual classes on Nov. 10 “Due to the lack of essential staff, we have made the decision to transition all learning at LHS to virtual learning beginning on Tuesday, November 10,” according to the letter sent to Legend families and staff.

The letter regarding Douglas County High

CASES ON THE RISE Daily COVID-19 cases within the school district have been on the rise this month, according to data from the district. Confirmed cases per day are as follows: Nov. 1: 9 Nov. 2: 13 Nov. 3: 11 Nov. 4: 25 Nov. 5: 17 Nov. 6: 21 Nov. 7: 22 Nov. 8: 26 Nov. 9: 23 Nov. 10: 25 Nov. 11: 13 Nov. 12: 22 “There are many ways the community can support this, including limiting social gatherings, getting take-out instead of eating in a restaurant, wearing masks and practicing social distancing.”

The district will continue to monitor the situation as officials work to make decisions about the second semester, set to begin Jan. 5 for students, according to the letter.

Leyba and Wise have both put out

School cited a lack of available substitute teachers as the reason for shutting down in-person classes there.

Both letters reference a “number of people” at the schools who have tested positive for the virus and state that these cases have caused quarantines for “a large number of staff members, in addition to many of our students.”

“Providing the high-quality educational experience the Douglas County School District is known for is difficult with so many (DCHS/LHS) staff members in quarantine,” according to the letters.

a call for any community members who can help out in the schools. The district has a shortage of substitute teachers, nurses and staff to deep clean buildings overnight, Leyba said.

DCSD’s announcement comes on the heels of the news that the county’s COVID-19 restrictions have been tightened to one step from a stay-at-home order. Neighboring school districts, including those in Jefferson County and Littleton, announced similar transitions to remote learning on Nov. 12.

At a school board meeting Nov. 10, DCSD board members agreed with a recommendation from Wise to make the switch to remote learning.

At one point last week, the school district had its lowest-ever fill rate for subsitutes, with 77 teacher positions left unfilled that day, according to a district presentation at the meeting.

“You can’t have school without teachers,” Wise said.

While schools are seeing more positive COVID-19 cases, investigations have shown that the vast majority of those infections are not occurring in school, he said. In most situations, teachers and students are becoming infected outside of school.

“If the transmission is not happening within school… then maybe we need to take a really hard look at when you have homecoming parties and Halloween parties… there are consequences,” school board Director Elizabeth Hanson said at the Nov. 10 meeting. “If our community is not willing to have some hard conversations about what we’re willing to sacrifice to keep our kids in schools, then we don’t have a choice (other) than move to remote.”

COVID-19 infections cause many disruptions, as anyone who had close contact with a person with the virus must quarantine for 14 days.

Wise said that during this time period away from in-person learning, the district will focus on mental health of students.

“We know it is better for our students to be in school, in-person, with their peers, and amazing educators.

However, the high number of cases and quarantines is creating an environment where many of our students and teachers no longer have a predictable school routine,” according to the Nov. 12 letter. “This lack of predictability is stressful, and unfair to our students, staff, and families.”

Seems like the future wasn’t worth the wait

anting an additional serving of “thin gruel,” plucky parish workhouse resident Oliver Twist pleaded “Please, sir, I want some more.”

QUIET To paraphrase the DESPERATION indigent lad, “Please, sir, I don’t want some more.”

I don’t want a car that drives itself. I don’t want to tell a car what to do. I don’t want a car that stops when it thinks it should or parks itself.

I don’t want to tell Craig Marshall my television what Smith to do. Or ask Siri or Alexa anything.

I don’t want a vacuum cleaner roaming around the house on its own.

Skype, Zoom, leave the room.

I’m not interested in Extended Reality.

Enough. I have enough.

What do I have? A microwave oven, washer and dryer, refrigerator, a computer, a television, a landline telephone, an eight-year-old station wagon and a real dachshund.

Bernard Marr writing for Forbes noted, “We are amidst the 4th Industrial Revolution, and technology is evolving faster than ever. Companies and individuals that don’t keep up with some of the major tech trends run the risk of being left behind.”

Left behind where?

I have indoor plumbing and complete electrical.

Much of life worth living for still comes down to how we interact with each other, and many of the best moments do not depend upon technology at all.

Meeting a friend for lunch doesn’t require Silicon Valley experts to make it better.

Siri can’t explain why there is so much corruption and deceit in the

world.

Alexa can’t explain gangs, cartels, mobsters, racism, homophobia or religious fanaticism.

Or why common sense is so uncommon.

The ad shows Cheerios strewn on the floor and a disc-shaped, overpriced, battery-driven, autonomous vacuum cleaner consuming them.

Big wow.

Harry does the same thing and warms the bed at night too.

Of course, were I in a line of work that depended upon technology I’d undoubtedly think differently.

My dentist, for example, has to stay current with new developments or patients would go elsewhere.

My dental history is extensive and began without anesthetics. They were available, but for some reason not provided. Maybe they were an additional cost my parents couldn’t manage.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A look behind the scenes I had the honor to serve as a Douglas County election judge in this last election. It was my first time and I wanted to witness the process from behind the curtain. The rigorous processes included multiple safety checks and bipartisan involvement. I now having a clear understanding of how secure each and every vote is, and can say with total confidence that voters in Colorado have nothing to fear regarding voter fraud. What I’ve learned is that Colorado has one the most secure, easy to use, and efficient voter systems in the country.

What I find disturbing are those who don’t understand the systems to protect their ballot shout fraud because they didn’t get the outcome they wanted from this election.

Frankly, if there was going to be widespread voter fraud, it would have extended beyond the presidency and into state and local races too.

The only crime committed within this election has been wholesale voter suppression and the use of gerrymandering. After four years of hate, divisiveness and lies, we have an opportunity to begin to heal our nation, and ensuring that everyone who is eligible to vote can. Thanks to an all-time record voter turnout, America and democracy has won over fear and hate. Let’s celebrate and unite to regain America’s respect and leadership around the world, and take action to enact policies and laws that benefit our nation.

County made right choice with GOP In a year of record turnout, Douglas County residents made it clear: We continue to choose Republican principles and leadership. Indeed, Republican candidates decisively won each Douglas County-specific race despite huge sums of outside money pouring into Democratic candidate campaigns and pressure on us to become more like Denver.

We should be proud that our county held the line and didn’t give in to this pressure.

We continue to choose Republican principles in Douglas County because they create the foundation for our great quality of life to flourish. Principles such as responsible and limited government, freedom of choice, and respect for law enforcement translate into low taxes, a thriving economy, and a safe community. These conditions are key reasons we choose to live here and it’s great to see us continue to embrace the principles that create them.

Let’s continue to show Denver and nearby counties that we reject the intrusive government, freedom-shrinking, high-taxing, safety-risking policies of the Left by maintaining and actively choosing Republican principles and leadership. Let’s keep holding the line — and in the process preserve and improve upon what makes Douglas County great.

Colorado can do better and we should be proud that Douglas County is leading the way to show what “better” looks like.

two-day experience.

First, the tooth would be prepped for the crown, an impression made and a temporary crown glued.

The impression was sent to a lab.

A couple of weeks later a permanent crown was returned and positioned.

Now my dentist can do it all in one day with technology that wasn’t available to her years ago.

My theory is that many contemporary upgrades are the Emperor’s New Clothes.

The 2020 World Series was packed with “broadcast enhancements” and “game tracking through Statcast powered by Google Cloud.”

One of these enhancements was the “exit velocity” of a home run.

I want to know the exit velocity of a batted ball about as much as I want to know what’s in thin gruel.

The pebble, the ripple, the current or the wave

S

ometimes it is the current or the wave that gets all the attention, but maybe we can first begin by talking about the pebble and the ripple, and even our own role as either one in the WINNING creation of those WORDS rippling waters, currents, and waves.

As we do, there are a few things about being the pebble or the ripple that we should keep in mind. The first is that there are times where Michael Norton we can be both, making our initial splash or point, and then doing our best to perpetuate a shared feeling or message. The second thing to consider is that both the pebble and the ripple can either be positively charged or negatively driven. And lastly, most times the pebbles that generate the biggest ripples are the same ones that carry the message the farthest and have the greatest impact.

Some throw pebbles of negativity, trying to do as much damage to the calm of the water as possible without a care for the lingering effect those ripples may have on anything or anyone in their path. Others cast pebbles with a clear sense of

purpose and desired outcome. These pebbles are intended to deliver hope and encouragement as the ripples created wash upon the shores of those who need them the most.

And there are a couple of things we may want to think about when we are being caught in the current.

It could mean that we are just riding out the ripples of life, allowing other people, situations, opinions, and events to determine what we believe, how we think, and what we do. Some may call this, “Just going with the flow.”

However, there are other currents that we get caught up in too. Currents that were caused by the ripples, and ripples that were initiated by a pebble, and a pebble that was cast with the intention of making a positive difference in the lives of the people caught up in the current. We seek this current and appreciate the cause and effect of such ripples. We may even acknowledge that we are not caught in a current, realizing we are riding a wave of hope instead.

“Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into the water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.” - Dalai Lama Each of us, whether we like it or not is one of these four things; the pebble; the ripple; caught in

A look at planning in the post-election period

he election is finally over, and we have a few short weeks to finish any 2020 planning strategies before the New Year. As of this writing, some states are still counting votes, but with the majority in, it appears Joe Biden will be sworn FINANCIAL into the office of STRATEGIES the presidency in January. Currently it appears the stock market is pricing in a split Congress with a Democratic House and a Republican Senate. The runoff for the last two Senate seats in Patricia Kummer Georgia will not be known until January.

Historically, the financial markets and economic activity thrive best under a split government due to a set of checks and balances between parties. Nothing too drastic is likely to get passed without plenty of notice as the House and the Senate debate issues.

Based on Biden’s campaign promises, the initial focus will likely be on a COVID-19 stimulus package and health care improvements. This

the current; or riding the wave. As a pebble, we are an activator, an encourager, and a creator. Like a ripple, we are action, motion, and momentum.

If we are caught in the current, we may feel trapped, stuck in the status quo, or going along just to get along.

And if we are riding the wave of hope, we are a grateful recipient of the pebbles of wisdom, motivation, and opportunity that were dropped into the water, almost as if they were dropped in specifically for us.

What happens then if it is a huge rock or boulder that gets dropped into the water? The bigger the stone, the larger the ripple. The stronger the message, positive or negative, the larger the ripple will become as well.

means that infrastructure and jobs growth will be shortly behind and tax reform may be pushed out to 2022, according to Libby Cantrill, CFA with PIMCO.¹ Tax planning is always a good idea, just like investing or planning of any kind. Do what you can today with what you know now, for tomorrow could make today look like a missed opportunity. Regardless of who is in office, with the burgeoning federal deficit and the need for ongoing stimulus, I believe there would need to be tax increases. No one likes to pay more taxes, but the reality is that it appears inevitable in our current economic state. Therefore, I urge folks to consider taking advantage of the last month of the year and utilize this potentially lower tax bracket year to help improve their finances. This could include realizing long-term capital gains or converting IRA accounts to a Roth.

Of course, you should still maximize your retirement plan contributions to minimize any increased taxable income.

Investing is also a good idea, regardless of who is in office. Economic uncertainty often increases volatility across the markets. This is a good opportunity to remem-

ber that this is a marathon, not a sprint, and you should stick to the long-term plan. It may be difficult to focus on goals when other investors are making short-term, emotional trades.

A potential split Congress under a Biden presidency may still cause some gridlock. Watch for debates around a stimulus plan and other forms of spending bills. The Fed will likely continue to utilize monetary policy and other tools (such as Quantitative Easing) to support financial markets.² A contentious relationship between the Senate and Biden administration could drive higher rate volatility, but likely favor growth stocks.³ Investor’s Business Daily states “A powerful stock market rally has taken hold, fueled by election results despite surging coronavirus cases”.

The coronavirus pandemic is still likely the most significant factor in the near term. If infection rates and hospitalizations continue to increase, we could see further limits on social and/or economic activity that could depress economic progress. The vaccine is good news but may take years to administer.

Regardless of economic or political

shifts, your asset allocation is driven by your goals and risk tolerance and we don’t recommend that it be altered based on short-term volatility. In fact, volatility may present opportunities for long-term investors. Maintaining a well-balanced portfolio can help you to stay focused on the end goal. And, as always, you should consult with your own investment or tax professional for advice specific to your situation.

“We had a (kid) come in and use the Sheridan studio, and he’s now a touring rapper,” Fritz said, referring to a performer with the stage name Jay The Rarest. “There a high school right next to the studio, and when school gets out, the studio’s booked.”

The district’s three studios closed in March, along with Arapahoe Libraries locations as a whole, as the spread of COVID-19 gripped Colorado. But the libraries are considering checking out some of the studio equipment — such as for digitizing film or possibly loaning out keyboards — as the trend in public-health restrictions signals that studios may stay locked up into 2021.

On the other hand, some commercial recording studios in the Front Range have seen their work pick up as Coloradans have more time at home amid the pandemic, said Dave Devine, a senior lecturer of jazz guitar at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Artists have used that time to “record the basic parts at home and send the parts in to finalize them in a studio,” said Devine, who has played the role of producer in metro-area studios. He’s also set foot in studios as a member of bands and ensembles and as a session musician to record for other artists.

At three Arapahoe Libraries locations, visitors can use recording studios for free, whether they are library members or not.

The studios remain closed as the pandemic continues, but the libraries may start checking out some of the recording equipment. Call 303-542-7279 for more information.

Under regular conditions, the studios offer equipment including the following: • Software for audio recording such as GarageBand, Logic Pro and Audacity • Video editing software such as iMovie and Adobe Premiere, along with cameras, iPads and green screens for recording • Microphones, keyboards, electric and acoustic guitars, and electronic drum pads In Centennial, Smoky Hill Library’s studio opened in 2013 and Southglenn Library’s studio opened in 2014.

Sheridan Library’s studio opened in 2014. Visit arapahoelibraries.org/recording-studios for more information.

Some local spots are well-known Metro-area residents looking to step into a recording studio have a variety of options, including some that have seen big-name music artists.

One that might be “shocking” to hear about is west Denver’s Side 3, located in an industrial area near North Santa Fe Drive.

The studio has recorded Kanye West, Devine said, as its website shows.

Their clients also include “Green Day, Ed Sheeran, Lil Wayne — it’s insane,” he added.

Mighty Fine Productions in east Denver is “renowned and does a variety of music,” said Devine, who lives in Lakewood. Colorado Sound in the Westminster area — another spot Devine mentioned — lists Colorado folk band The Lumineers and neo soul pioneer D’Angelo among its clients.

In response to the pandemic, Mighty Fine started livestreaming concerts from its studio, Devine said. Avoiding the virus has turned some to home recordings, he added.

“You can record yourself on your computer and drop the file in the ‘cloud,’ and the engineer can turn them into magic,” Devine said. “The engineer I was talking to today from Longmont said he has more work than he can handle because people have more time.”

Some recording studios are located in people’s homes, too, which may make them more cost-effective without “overhead” costs of a building with plumbing, electricity and taxes, Devine

The Douglas County Libraries location in Parker offers “state-of-the-art software and equipment to create videos, musical compositions, animations, e-books and more,” according to the district’s website. For more information, see dcl.org/reserve-a-space.

Denver Public Library locations also offer multiple recording studios listed at denverlibrary.org/studios.

The Studio at the Wright Farms library in the Thornton area also offers “state-of-the-art video, audio and design equipment and software,” according to the website for the Anythink library district in Adams County. For more information, see anythinklibraries.org/location/anythink-wrightfarms.

The recording studio at Wright Farms was closed, according to its website in mid-November. Other metroarea library studios are likely to be temporarily closed or restricted as well amid the pandemic, but see contact information on the websites above for current information.

said. “But another thing is it feels (like) a much more comfortable environment. They’ll go make you coffee … it feels much more communal.”

For amateur artists, a home studio can be a great place to start, Devine said.

“You can look online for home studios where maybe the time is more flexible,” Devine said. Some will start there, and if an artist thinks a recording needs something more, they can take the project to a bigger studio, Devine added.

Prices can be steep: Devine estimated most places in town can cost between $500 and $750 for a day of recording. He wasn’t sure on home studio prices.

An artist recording a vocal performance might say, ‘$700, that’s a lot of money,’” but it’s an opportunity to sing into equipment that may be worth thousands of dollars, Devine said.

Free studios still a quality bet Fritz, the digital media librarian for the Arapahoe Library District, said that in Smoky Hill and Southglenn libraries in Centennial, “you get a professional-grade studio,” and at Sheridan Library it’s a little less sophisticated but still capable.

Electric guitars, keyboards, DJ equipment and electronic drum pads are among the gear patrons can use at the library studios, Fritz said.

Middle-aged residents often come in to produce audiobook readings, he added.

Fritz helps newcomers learn about the equipment, too, and before the pandemic, studios could be booked for up

to three hours daily.

As the studio closure continues, Arapahoe Libraries is planning to check out some equipment but isn’t as certain about providing large items such as guitars because of the cleanup they require, Fritz said.

“I think we’re all hoping like January” to open the studios back up, Fritz said. But the library district has to play it by ear given changing public health guidelines.

The Douglas County Libraries location in Parker offers “state-of-the-art software and equipment to create videos, musical compositions, animations, e-books and more,” according to the district’s website. Denver Public Library locations also offer multiple recording studios listed on that district’s website.

The Studio at the Wright Farms library also offers “state-of-the-art video, audio and design equipment and software,” according to the website for the Anythink library district in Adams County.

Wright Farms library sits near East 120th Avenue and North Holly Street in the Thornton area. The recording studio at Wright Farms was closed, according to its website in early November.

Other metro-area library studios are likely to be closed or restricted as well.

Fritz wants to get the word out, particularly to “underserved populations,” about the fact that his libraries offer studios.

“Many people don’t know that the places exist, and then when they (find out), they’re quite shocked,” Fritz said.

Gallery show highlights experiences of women Exhibit of 60 pieces includes wide variety of art forms

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Curtis Center for the Arts is at 2349 E. Orchard Road, just west of University Boulevard. For those not familiar with it, it’s a gallery in a charming old schoolhouse. Admission is free. Parking is adequate. Open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 303-797-1779

When the Colorado Women’s Caucus for the Arts sent out a national call for artists, the response came in from coast to coast — we noted works in the exhibit “Old Myths, New Stories” (which opened Nov. 7 at the Curtis Center for the Arts in Greenwood Village) from Massachusetts, Alaska, California, Indiana, Colorado, of course — and points in between.

The exhibit honors “womyn, wimmin, women, womxn” who are celebrating the centennial of their right to vote across the nation, in an exhibit that runs until Dec. 23 at Curtis.

Director Chris Stevens said there were about 200 submissions, from which the jurors — Stevens and his wife — selected about 60 pieces to include in this collection of two- and three-dimensional works that suggest a variety of ways to respond to

painting, “Begin Again,” portraying a beautiful little girl perched on a stack of political books, including one called “Begin Again,” as she holds out a familiar, bright yellow Dr. Seuss for us to read to her ... Technically strong, it does stand out ...

Standing at the center of the gallery is a somewhat whimsical piece: “Love, Honor and Obey,” a life-sized mannequin in a black, lacy Victorian blouse and a skirt fashioned from a traditional quilt, with assorted items, including a doll, attached to it. Sayings and sarcasm here as one focuses on the details ... Oh so proper lady!

“God Bless Our Home” says a sampler across her chest ... The artist is Marty Ornish, from La Mesa, California. I think she had fun with this one — I did speculate a bit about shipping it halfway across the country! Lots of detail, created with tongue firmly in

A contrast is an abstract encaustic monotype, called “Identity No. 3,” by Kim Roberts of Denver. It suggests figurative elements. And to the right of that is a shouting, middle-aged activist, with fist in the air — the variety of ways to tell a story.

Allow some time to look closely at some of this work. “Joanne” is a photograph submitted by Frances Murray Jones and Joanne Fruech, of Portland, Oregon, depicting a barechested, scarred woman, who had undergone a double mastectomy, but posed “prettily” in her high heeled shoes, glow from a quaint Tiffany glass lamp focused on her — a story of too many women we know ...

Kahlo, Rivera, Mexican Modernists at DAM Timed tickets are required to tour exhibit of 150 works

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Now open at the Denver Art Museum: “Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection.” It runs through Jan. 24 and is sure to be a draw for area art lovers. Timed tickets are required so one will want to plan ahead, since we are dealing with limits on how many can attend at any one time ...

When the Mexican Revolution ended

in 1920, change was afoot in every aspect of that country’s life, including in its arts. Rivera’s huge murals were soon famous and in demand in the U.S. and Europe — examples are tied into this large (150 works) exhibit on walls as well as with a few paintings, such as the well-recognized “Calla Lily Vendor.”

Mexico City was the center of activity and was home to Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and a circle of creatives who combined Mexican folk art with techniques adapted from European arts — also in flux at that time. Rivera, 30 years older than Kahlo, was established as an influential painter.

Also there: Jacques and Natasha Gelman, who collected works by the

local artists, who were their friends.

Gelman was a partner at Posa films and connected with the local art community, where he and his wife began to collect works by their friends. This exhibit includes 150 works by internationally recognized artists, most from the Gelman collection, with additional works from the collection of Denverbased John and Sandy Fox and from the museum’s collection.

Mexican Modernism combined social realism and fantastic visions that were unique to Mexican history and literature. Both Kahlo and Rivera painted portraits of Natasha Gelman, their patron and good friend.

Frida Kahlo had suffered from polio when she was a child, then was badly injured as a teen in a bus accident that left her back permanently painful.

She said: “I paint myself because I am so often alone and I am the subject I know best.”

She was still a student when she met the much older Rivera. They fell in love, married, divorced and remarried. Kahlo’s family home, the blue house that is now a museum, was their home.

Seven of her distinctive self-portraits are included plus a number of other drawings and paintings.

Pets, local flora, foods and surroundings fill the images, shedding some light on a distinctive lifestyle that makes a viewer invent stories to accompany the art. Kahlo’s “Self Portrait With Monkeys” is especially appealing ... and then there is that wee Itzcuentli dog ... and brilliant parrots.

Sound as well as color.

Frida Kahlo’s 1943 painting “SelfPortrait with Monkeys” is on display at the Denver Art Museum through Jan. 24.

Mustangs, Titans finish regular season undefeated

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ponderosa completed an abbreviated regular season with a 6-0 record following a 40-13 win over Longmont Nov. 14.

The Mustangs, who are seeded third in the Class 4A state playoffs, combined a good offensive performance with a solid defensive effort to beat the Trojans.

Senior Cael Porter car-

ried the football 27 times and gained 229 yards, with one touchdown for the Mustangs.

Senior quarterback Jack Hanenburg rushed for two scores and also threw a touchdown pass.

Ponderosa’s defense was led

by Brady Porter and Brandt Jarvis, who each finished with 10 total tackles. Brendyn Herrick had an interception and Jack Ward intercepted two Longmont passes.

In other action: Legend 42, Douglas County 14 The Titans, ranked fourth in the CHSAANow.poll, also finished the regular season unbeaten with a 6-0 record.

Legend rolled over Douglas County on Nov. 14 as senior Connor Eise rushed for 182 yards. He had three touchdown runs and also caught a 20-yard TD pass from quarterback Kalen Shoemaker,

who completed three scoring passes in the game.

The Titans defense had five sacks shared by five players. Melo Castro had 13 total tackles to lead the defense. Jaxon Muma had 10 tackles and intercepted two passes.

Fairview 49, Castle View 36 The Sabercats had a game with Mountain Vista canceled because of COVID-19 con-

cerns but scheduled a game against fifth-ranked Fairview, which rolled up 553 yards in total offense.

Castle View had 333 yards rushing. Zane Wodark rushed for 155 yards on 21 carries and scored two touchdowns for the Sabercats. Marc Wessbecker gained 140 yards on 25 carries and had one TD run.

Quarterback Johnny Colombi passed for 146 yards and one score.

Playoff pairings announced for high school football Cherry Creek and Valor Christian are the top two seeds in 5A STAFF REPORT

0November 19, 2020 Diego Rivera’s “Calla Lilly Vendor,” painted in 1943, is part of an exhibit at the Denver Art Museum that requires timed tickets.

COURTESY PHOTO

EXHIBIT FROM PAGE 18

“Diego on My Mind,” widely used in publicity for this exhibit, is fascinating. She wears a traditional lacy headdress — Tejuana style — and on her forehead is an image of Rivera. The trademark heavy eyebrows almost resemble bird wings as they meet above

her nose and she looks straight into a viewer’s eyes.

Other artists included in this exhibit: Maria Izquierdo, Carlos Merida, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Gunther Gerzso.

Photographs of these friends and others are a nice addition to the exhibit, as is a grouping of Kahlo’s colorful garments.

Allow time to walk through and then return to images that capture the imagination especially well.

Gelato shop aims for sweet success Family-run business brings a taste of Italy to Highlands Ranch

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Barsness family has always loved a cup of gelato.

From their trips to Italy to vacations in the Cayman Islands, the four-member family frequently finds themselves at the counter of a shop selling the creamy, Italian treat. That’s why a few years ago, the Douglas County family began working on a plan to open their own gelato shop in the community.

Now, after months of work and a grand opening delayed

by COVID-19, the family has finally started serving at their Gelato & Co franchise in Highlands Ranch.

“People just flocked in,” owner Dean Barsness said. “We were blown away.”

The gelato shop, which also serves handmade pastries and coffee, officially opened its doors in the Central Park area of Highlands Ranch — near Lucent Boulevard and Plaza Drive — on Oct. 12.

The shop, focusing on fresh, artisanal desserts, also has locations in Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, Panama, Aruba and the Cayman Islands.

Dean Barsness, 58, and his family moved to Douglas County about three years ago from Chicago, where Barsness owned an insurance company.

After selling his company, he considered retiring.

“I still wanted to do something but didn’t know what that was,” Barsness said. “But I wanted to do something very different from the insurance business.”

The Barsness family first fell in love with gelato during their frequent trips to Italy, where Dean’s wife Susan’s father is from. Gelato has similar ingredients to ice cream but uses different ratios, such as more milk, less cream and less fat. It’s also denser and served at a warmer temperature than ice cream.

The Barsness family has lived in unincorporated Douglas County near Roxborough Park for about three years. Pictured from left to right are Sarah, Dean, Susan and Jonathan.

PHOTOS BY ELLIOTT WENZLER “We would come home and miss that daily gelato,” Dean said.

Then, while visiting the Cayman Islands, the Barsness family — including Dean and Susan’s son Jonathan, 26, and daughter, Sarah, 23 — tried a Gelato & Co shop for the first time.

“We went there almost every day,” Dean said, “It was such a happy place all the time.”

After moving to unincorporated Douglas County near Roxborough Park, the family began toying with the idea of opening their own Gelato & Co. Through working with the company’s owners and finding a location for the shop, they were able to move forward with the franchise.

In late February, they began preparing their store with a mid-June opening date in mind. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Italy and then the United States, the process became much more complicated. Almost everything in the store, including wall art, chairs and cups, needed to be shipped from Italy.

While they waited, Dean focused on hiring their five

pastry chefs and other staff through video chat interviews.

When they met their head pastry chef, Mariana Ramirez, they found what Susan Barsness called their “silver lining.”

“Hearing the passion come out when (Mariana) was talking about her business, that’s where I was like ‘she’s got to be in,’” Susan said.

When the Barsness family finally received their materials from Italy in September, they were able to get to work building the store and training their staff.

Community members, many of whom had seen the Gelato & Co sign for months, started knocking on their door when they noticed people inside working, Dean said. Finally, after telling multiple people they weren’t open yet, Dean decided he couldn’t do it anymore.

“I said ‘I’m not turning another person away,’ so we just started letting people in,” Dean said.

Since then, the shop has seen lots of support from the community, with customers coming in even after a snowstorm, Dean said. An artificial fireplace in a corner of the

The new dessert shop in Highlands Ranch, Gelato & Co, offers a variety of homemade flavors of gelato, including coffee, tiramisu, strawberry and salted caramel. shop provides a warm place for customers to eat their gelato.

Each day, Ramirez and her staff arrive at the shop at 7 a.m. to begin working on the day’s gelato and pastries, which both rotate based on the season and customer input. All of the non-perishable ingredients for these items, such as pistachios, caramel and chocolate, come from Italy. The rest of the materials, like dairy and fruit, comes from local vendors, Ramirez said.

Gelato flavors in late October included pumpkin pie, cook-

“We’re trying to bring a little bit of Italy to Highlands Ranch,” Susan said.

MY NAME IS

CHARLES GOODWIN

Young father went to war as a sailor

Local Focus.

More News.

‘Guys became soldiers’ I grew up in Illinois. Before Pearl Harbor, me and my friends, we were all just guys. Things changed overnight. Guys became soldiers.

When I got out of school, there were three of us from my hometown who signed up. President Roosevelt had actually started drafting men in 1940, trying to build up the Army, because we knew the war was coming. It had to be a draft, because who wanted to march across Europe? So I joined the Navy.

Wedding in wartime I was sent to the Naval Air Station in Washington, D.C. They needed stenographers too, and the girl who became my dear wife had just graduated high school two weeks before.

She signed up and came out to Washington and joined me. She arrived on June 26, and we were married on July 18, 1942.

I was assigned to the USS England, a destroyer. I’ll never forget. It was February 14, 1944 — Valentine’s Day. We steamed out of San Francisco Bay, and my wife was standing on the Golden Gate Bridge, holding our boy, watching us sail beneath them and out into the Pacific.

I was praying. First, praying she didn’t drop him! Second, I was praying for their safety. We had no idea what would happen. But we were all doing what we had to do.

Charles Goodwin is 97, but his memories of his World War II service are still crystal clear.

Battle stations Out at sea, we would see the submarines come up from time to time.

Then in May of ‘44, it was a beautiful day. About 2 in the afternoon, we felt something rumble under the ship.

The captain came over the speaker and said “Gentlemen, we just sank our first sub.” Then he called us to battle stations, and we stayed there for 12 days. We sank six submarines in those 12 days — nothing like that had been done before.

In that time, I would think about what my wife was going through, sitting there in the dark in the air raid drills. They had blackout drills on the West Coast. Everything would

be locked down. You had to keep the lights off. It must have been scary, sitting there alone with that baby.

The baby on the bridge After the war, I went back to my hometown of Aurora, Illinois and served on the fire department. I moved to Colorado in 1992, after I retired.

My son is 77 now, and I’m 97, but in my mind I’m still that young man looking up at that little baby on the bridge.

their trends before being forced to move to a stricter level.

“We are concerned that with the steep acceleration of cases and hospitalizations, these delays will reduce the value of the additional restrictions provided in the higher level, essentially rendering them `too little, too late,’ ” the letter says.

The letter includes signatures from health agency leaders from Denver, Jefferson, Broomfield, Boulder, Lincoln, Prowers and Kiowa counties, along with Douglas of Tri-County Health.

“Paradoxically, the ultimate outcome of these delays could be a greater likelihood of moving to the stay-at-home level that we all want to avoid and/or a greater length of time required in stay-at-home to reverse the dramatic rates of growth,” the letter adds.

Hoping for state help At the time of the letter’s date, Denver and Adams County were in safer-at-home level orange, and Jefferson County’s move to level orange was already announced.

“Moving up in level (so far) hasn’t been effective in Denver or really any of our counties,” Douglas told Colorado Community Media. “I think we all know that the community is tired of doing more restrictions, nobody wants to do them, and we know the governor is a big believer in local control, but we’re a big believer in the bully pulpit of his office.”

“Public health directors don’t seem to have as much gravitas,” Douglas added, worrying that only the clout of state officials could ensure enough public buy-in for a stay-at-home order to be effective.

The clock is ticking: Adams County’s “incidence rate,” or the rate of

new cases per 100,000 people over the course of two weeks, recently broke 1,000, Douglas said — nearly three times the upper limit for remaining in level orange, which is 350.

The number of Coloradans hospitalized with COVID-19 began hitting its highest marks ever recorded during the pandemic in early November. Colorado’s previous record, or “peak,” of COVID-19 patients was 888 in April. As of Nov. 9, more than 1,000 people were in the hospital statewide for COVID-19.

Stay-at-home could last weeks Douglas said it’s hard to predict whether Adams and Arapahoe counties would move to stay-at-home orders

by Thanksgiving. But those counties have seen increases in their restrictions roughly every couple of weeks since mid-October. Tri-County Health issued a public health order for Arapahoe on Oct. 16 that moved up the last call for alcohol and tightened limits on personal gatherings, and Arapahoe moved to safer-at-home level yellow on Oct. 28. It moved to level orange Nov. 11.

Asked if he’d expect Douglas County to move to a stay-at-home order by early December, the health chief said: “Hard to predict. Very much depends on county case trends and regional (and) state hospital capacity over next few weeks.”

Douglas also said he and neighboring local health directors are talking among themselves and with the state public-health department to figure out what level of virus spread warrants taking “the draconian step of a stay-at-home and how long it needs to go on.”

“The longer we wait, the longer it’ll need to be,” Douglas said. “I think at the very least, it looks like it’ll probably be several weeks. It needs to be (at least) one incubation period of the virus, 14 days. And maybe it needs to be two,” depending on how quickly metro residents change their behavior, he continued.

TESTING

NEGATIVE TEST NOT AN OK TO SOCIALIZE IF EXPOSED

FROM PAGE 10

The test site at Water World at 8801 N. Pecos St. in Federal Heights continues to operate. The state operates the Water World site in partnership with Adams County through a contract with MAKO Medical, a health-care laboratory.

That’s one of the state’s roughly 50 “community testing” sites, according to the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. A spokesperson for the center said it could not immediately provide a list of all of the sites.

The state recently updated its online map of test sites again — now at covidtest.colorado.gov/map — but the free state-supported sites are mixed in with what appear to be private locations that charge for testing. Coloradans should call ahead of time at the phone number listed alongside the map if visiting such locations.

Here’s information on hours and registration for the Water World site and other free testing locations that were open as of Nov. 13.

Adams, Arapahoe • Water World — There is no cost to get tested. Visitors do not need an identification card, Social Security number or insurance. Those who have symptoms, have been exposed to someone with the coronavirus or who otherwise need a test are encouraged to come to the location, according to Adams County’s COVID-19 website. Up to 1,500 tests were to be administered each day, and results were to be available within two to four days.

Visitors are urged to pre-register online for a faster visit. To register, see adamscountycovid19.org/free-covid19-testing-sites.

The Water World site in Federal Heights is open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Dec. 31. It may be closed for holidays on Nov. 26 and Dec. 25. It was scheduled to be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m on Dec. 24.

• Aurora Center for Active Adults — This location in northwest Aurora provides drive-thru testing to “anyone who wants to be tested, especially those who have symptoms,” according

Unlike during the early stages of the pandemic, anyone who needs a COVID-19 test is encouraged to get one, according to a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment news release.

“Anyone who has symptoms should get tested immediately and isolate for at least 10 days from onset and until they are fever-free to Tri-County Health Department’s website. Tri-County is the local health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Testing is free and was to provide results within four days. No health insurance is required, no doctor’s note needed, no identification required and no appointment needed, according to an official flyer for the site. Visitors can save time by pre-registering at tinyurl.com/Aurora-co-12594.

The site sits at 30 Del Mar Circle, a short drive west of Interstate 225 along East 6th Avenue. It’s open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. It will be closed for holidays on Nov. 26, Dec. 24 and Dec. 25.

• Centennial Center Park — Drivethru, free testing is open to anyone — no health insurance, doctor’s note, identification or appointment is needed, according to Tri-County’s website.

Visitors are encouraged to reduce wait times by pre-registering at tinyurl. com/CentennialTestingSite. Results were expected to be available within four days.

“Anyone who thinks they might have been exposed to COVID-19 should get tested, even if they feel asymptomatic,” Nate Fogg, Arapahoe County’s emergency manager, said in a news release announcing the testing site.

The site is at 13050 E. Peakview Ave., not far from East Arapahoe Road and South Peoria Street. It’s open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and will be closed on Nov. 26, Dec. 24 and Dec. 25.

• City of Thornton municipal service center — There is no cost for testing, but those who have a health care provider are encouraged to seek testing through their provider first, according to Thornton’s website. No insurance or doctor’s note are required. The location is open to anyone with or without symptoms.

Pre-register at gocot.net/covid19testing. Results were to be available in two to four days.

for 24 hours without the help of medication and their symptoms are improving,” the department continued. “In some more severe cases, medical providers may recommend isolation for longer.”

For those who may have been exposed to COVID-19, testing negative shouldn’t be seen as license to exit quarantine, according to the The location is the metal Quonset (semicircular) hut at 8651 N. Colorado Blvd., south of East 88th Avenue. Drivers can follow the directional signs.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Hours and locations in Denver Denver now offers testing around the city at the following locations: • Paco Sanchez Park — This location at 1290 N. Knox Court in west Denver is not one of the state-supported community testing sites, and Denver’s other locations likely are not either. The city advises those who have health insurance to schedule an appointment with a primary care provider or an urgent-care facility. Denver encourages those who do not have insurance or are “underinsured,” and are concerned they have been exposed to COVID-19, to get tested at no cost at one of the city’s locations.

• Denver Human Services East building — 3815 N. Steele St., a short drive southeast of North York Street and East 40th Avenue.

• Green Valley Ranch pool — 4455 N. Jebel St, southeast of North Himalaya Road and Green Valley Ranch Boulevard.

The city also has some other locations scheduled. See the dates, times and locations at on Denver’s website at tinyurl.com/DenverCOVIDtesting.

Doctor’s note not needed People don’t need a doctor’s note or doctor’s order to get tested at statesupported community testing sites, according to the state joint information center.

“There might be some community sites that prioritize testing for healthcare workers, individuals who have symptoms or who were exposed, but we are not aware of any community testing sites that require a doctor’s note,” the center said in a statement.

department.

“Anyone who has been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 should quarantine for 14 days and get tested seven days after the exposure. A negative test should not release someone (from) quarantine because symptoms might not appear for up to 14 days after exposure,” the release said.

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing has said that tests for Medicare and Medicaid members must be ordered by the member’s doctor or other health-care provider, but individuals are not asked about insurance at community testing sites.

“Our state lab analyzes all Medicare (and) Medicaid samples to ensure they are free of charge. Individuals with Medicare (or) Medicaid can be tested free of charge at any of our community testing sites and are not asked to provide proof of any type of insurance coverage,” the center said in a statement.

Other testing sites One test provider the state had consistently listed as among its testing resources is STRIDE Community Health Center, a group of locations that are not considered state testing sites and whose funding has come from federal and private grants to support testing, Laura Larson, STRIDE’s vice president of development, has told Colorado Community Media.

STRIDE offers testing at several locations in the west, east and south metro area, and no doctor’s notes are required.

For individuals who have insurance, STRIDE does attempt to bill their insurance carrier first, but if a claim is denied, STRIDE will not bill the individual for the test, Larson has said. There are no fees collected at the time of testing.

STRIDE received federal grant funding from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration to cover testing costs for uninsured patients.

As of early September, a cap to that funding had not been communicated, according to STRIDE. Visit stridechc.org/covid-19 or call 303-778-7433 for current STRIDE testing locations.
