Golden Transcript hits 155th anniversary

By the numbers: Jeffco Schools’ COVID update Case numbers, quarantines and test data for the current school year

A 1937 Foss Drug Ad in the Golden Transcript.

One of few Colorado newspapers to hit this milestone, the Golden Transcript has covered much of the community’s history BARB WARDEN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

This is a cause for celebration: the Golden Transcript has just reached its 155th anniversary. In this era when local newspapers are disappearing at an alarming rate, Golden is unbelievably lucky to still have ours.

The City and the Transcript have been together since the very beginning. The Transcript’s founder, George West, arrived with the gold rush in 1859 and began his first newspaper—the Western Mountaineer—in December of

that same year. After taking time out to serve in the Civil War, he returned to Golden and resumed his newspaper business—this time calling it the Colorado Transcript.

The City and the Transcript have seen good times and bad together, and both have certainly had times when their continued existence was in question. Four years after the Transcript was founded, Golden’s population had dipped to 587 souls. A newspaper needs both subscribers and advertisers to survive, and that 1870 census was discouraging on both counts; however, George West

had boundless faith in the City he helped found. He also knew something that was going to turn the tide of fortune—the railroad was coming!

The arrival of the Colorado Central Railroad in 1870 rescued Golden from threatened oblivion, and by 1880 our population had rocketed to 2,730. The railroad put Golden in a central position between Denver and the mountain mining towns. Because of the railroad, the small city became an industrial and commercial hub, with smelters, grain mills, a paper mill, a pottery, brickworks and one very significant brewery.

Washington Avenue became the place to shop for residents of both the City itself and the farms and ranches in the surrounding area.

Pam Yoder, project manager for the Jeffco Public Schools COVID Response Team, gave the Jeffco Board of Education an update on COVID numbers the District has seen thus far in the 2021 - 22 school year.

Yoder, speaking at the board’s Dec. 9 meeting, started with an overview of vaccination rates through Dec. 6., drawing from case numbers and statistics available on the Jeffco Schools COVID Dashboard, She said Jeffco students aged 5-11 have a vaccination rate of 30.7%. That percentage climbs considerably for students aged 12-15, to 72.2%. District students aged 16-19 are vaccinated at a rate of 70.9%.

Yoder said total staff (13,000+ employees) have an 81.8% vaccination rate, with 6.6% unvaccinated and 11.6% that have not reported. She said the “have not reported” category is made up primarily of charter schools who are collecting data locally, guest teachers and substitutes not actively working at this time.

When you break the numbers down even further, total core staff — educators, education support professionals and administrators, have an 89.8% vaccination rate, with 7.6% (approximately 730) remaining unvaccinated. About 250 core staff members (2.6%) have not yet reported their status.

The Transcript didn’t just report on the City’s growth: it was a tireless booster, endlessly extolling the excellent climate, water, scenery, and boundless natural resources of this location.

In the manner of 19th century newspapers, it didn’t hesitate to stretch a fact when describing the City’s perfections. The very first issue of the paper (December 19, 1866) assured readers that Clear Creek had tremendous water power and could power and infinite number of mills along its banks. (That may have been an overstatement for our rather small creek.)

The Transcript played an active role in attracting the Colorado School of Mines, and in keeping it, when other cities tried to entice it away. The paper has enthusiastically covered 150 years of academic and athletic triumphs.

The Transcript wrote editorials endorsing new schools, paving the streets, improving our water supply, and building a sewer system, all the while keeping a close watch on City and County expenditures. For many years, the Transcript listed every bill and every salary that the City paid.

George West ran the Transcript from its founding in 1866 until his death in 1906, but he didn’t do it alone. According to his grandson, Neil West Kimball, “he wished the newspaper to be ‘a family affair;’ and he realized his wish, for his two sons, his daughter, his son-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandson all held executive positions on the publication.”

When George died, his wife Eliza became the president of the company and his son Harley became the editor. When Harley died in 1927, his wife Vera became the President. She later installed her second husband—Fleet Parsons—as editor, while she retained ownership until her own death in 1954. Fleet continued to run the paper until his death in 1959.

The West family had taken Golden from its founding in the gold rush era into the atomic age. They wrote about new industries, new businesses and new schools. They reported when women got the vote, when Prohibition went into effect and then when it ended. They covered the Great Depression and both World Wars. They wrote about club meetings and church meetings, birth and death notices and wedding announcements. In short, they left a wonderful record of Golden’s first century.

After Fleet Parsons’ death in 1959, the Transcript was sold. Subsequent owners made a few changes. In 1966, it became bi-weekly (Mondays and Thursdays) and in 1968 it was issued triweekly (Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday). In 1969, the owners went to five days a week, Monday through Friday. At this point, the name changed to the Golden Daily Transcript.

That transition wasn’t entirely successful. The owners at that time wanted to expand the paper’s role beyond local news. They included many stories from the wire services and covered national and international news. There were fewer and fewer articles about local people, companies, schools, and events.

A 1937 Foss Drug Ad in the Colorado Transcript, now known as the Golden Transcript.

Readers soon let them know that they expected their local paper to cover local news, and the Transcript slowly regained its local focus. It went from five days a week back to two, then returned to the original weekly schedule. It cycled through a few different names in this era, going from the Golden Daily Transcript to the Daily Transcript, even reverting to the Colorado Transcript for several years. In 1983, it was settled as the Golden Transcript, the name that it retains to this day.

In 1970, after more than a century on Washington Avenue, the Transcript moved its offices to a new location on 10th Street, directly across from City Hall. The new, larger building allowed the owners to buy a new press, and the paper went to a larger format.

And so, the Transcript and the City of Golden entered their second century together. The newspaper still kept a close eye on local government and still announced births, weddings and deaths. They covered school sports and the occa-

sional crime or fire. They continued to chronicle Golden’s history as it happened.

To this day, the Transcript remains an indispensable part of the Golden community, and they continue to win awards for journalistic excellence. But the task grows harder and harder as time goes by.

Recent years have been hard on the news business. Readers have grown accustomed to getting their news online. Advertisers too are less likely to put their marketing dollars into a print product. With the loss of both subscribers and advertisers, it’s hard for a newspaper to remain a viable business. Less revenue means fewer reporters, and that in turn means that fewer meetings and events are covered.

That’s a problem. As a society, we still need journalists! We need people watching government and powerful institutions. We still need

Staff and student incident rates Since the beginning of the school year, there have been 4,104 staff and student cases combined.

The COVID Dashboard shows an uptick in cases as the year has gone on, with occasional dips. For context, the first week of school, there were 82 combined cases. The week after Thanksgiving, the district saw 538 total cases — 494 students and 44 staff members.

There have been 3,392 quarantines since Aug. 15.

Fortunately, there is cause for hope. The Colorado Sun and the National Trust for Local News recently acquired the Golden Transcript, along with 23 other Colorado newspapers, operating as a public benefit corporation. That status allows them to seek local and national grants and donations from people and entities that want to support local journalism.

If this approach works, hopefully we can look forward to another 155 years of Golden Transcript coverage of life in Golden Colorado!

Overall, elementary schools have seen a spike which Yoder said was due, in part, to the Delta Variant and the vaccine not being available to the majority of those students until recently.

contact in-school setting.

Outbreaks There have been 29 outbreaks since the beginning of the school year. The District defines an outbreak as a school with 5 or more cases of COVID-19, of which at least one case has had a positive molecular amplification test or antigen test among students, teachers and staff from separate households, with the onset within 14 days in a single classroom activity or other close

Testing According to Patrick Simpson, the District’s Executive Director of Athletics and Activities, no entire athletics team or activities program has been quarantined. He said schools have continued to offer a full range of extracurricular activities this school year.

Current district testing numbers show a 1.3% positivity rate out of 15,631 students tested as of Dec. 6.

The percentage for staff was a bit lower at 0.9% of 9,171 employees tested during the same timeframe.

As of the Dec. 9, meeting, there were 11 Jeffco high schools in outbreak status.

What Is the Effect of Today’s Surging Inflation Rates on Real Estate?

With everything costing more these days, from groceries to gasoline to natural gas, what is the effect on the real estate market?

No doubt, you’ve heard that the year-over-year consumer price index increased by 6.8% in November, the highest increase in 40 years.

You also know that real estate prices and rents have increased too. So how do those statistics compare, and is buying still a better choice than renting?

Home prices have actually increased more than consumer prices over the last year, making real estate ownership the best hedge against inflation. In the Denver metro area (excluding Boulder) as of Sept. 30, 2021, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the average sold price of homes was $614,800, an increase of 21.5% over the prior year. The average apartment rental price was $1,689 per month, an increase of 12.5% over the prior year. If you used mortgage financing, the average monthly cost of ownership of that average home purchase was

an astounding $4,126 per month for a single family detached home, making the rental of an average apartment much more affordable.

But, of course, the money you spend on rent is money down the drain, whereas the homeowner may find that the value of his/her home increases by more than the monthly mortgage payment. To me, there’s no comparison to owning vs. renting, but I understand that renting makes sense for many households.

So, what’s the prognosis for home ownership in 2022? Because of the inflation rate, we can also expect mortgage rates to rise from around 3% to 3.7% in 2022 according to NAR, but if you already own your home, your low interest rate is locked in. Mortgage rates currently average 3.1%, according to Freddie Mac. A higher interest rate, however, could affect what you might sell your home for, if that’s in your plans. Compared, however, to the increase in value you’ve already experienced, I don’t think the

The effect of pandemic lockdowns has triggered more interest in working at home, a trend that will be long-lasting and possibly permanent.

Early in the pandemic we saw a surge in real estate activity as buyers sought more space for working from home.

Compounding that was a desire for more at-home entertainment and exercise.

People want not only a home office, but a home theater and a home workout facility. These are features that will, in my opinion, dominate home design and buyer demands for at least the coming decade.

People feel safer at home, but they don’t want to feel cloistered. They want elbow-room.

Lockdowns also triggered more separations and divorces as couples who weren’t really in love found that being cloistered together at home didn’t work for their relationship. This also contributed to the real estate boom of 2020 and 2021.

Real estate was considered an “essential service” in the early days of Covid-19 lockdowns, and we Realtors certainly relished the lack of traffic and

traffic jams on local highways. Those days of free-flowing traffic may be gone, but there is still a widespread appreciation of working from home and doing less commuting. This means continued buyer activity focused on finding additional home office space.

Some homeowners are creating additional space at home instead of trading up to a bigger home. There’s increased interest, for example, in building ADUs over detached garages, not to create rental income (a great idea) but for the homeowner’s own use as a studio or refuge from family distractions.

A garage can offer great potential for additional living space, not just as a workshop, but as a home office, art studio, workout room or even a bedroom if necessary. Heating and cooling, on top of improved insulation, will be job #1 before improving the flooring, walls and ceiling. Rather than extending your home forced-air ductwork, consider installing a heat pump mini-split system. I saw this on a garage in north Golden—a perfect application of this technology.

Housing Trends Reflect Pandemic’s Influence

effect of higher interest rates will be too much of a downer for you, should you choose to sell.

Unless you’ve switched to heat pump heating and cooling and have installed solar panels to generate the electricity, your home heating cost will increase in 2022. The cost of natural gas has already increased by 25%. The nice thing about electricity is that its cost can only increase by a vote of the Public Utilities

Commission, and those increases are more gradual.

Gasoline costs have skyrocketed, but, again, the electricity to power EVs has not, and if you own an electric car and installed enough solar panels, you probably pay nothing for your car’s fuel. I suspect that solar installers are doing a good business nowadays. The cost of solar has plummeted, so call an intaller for a quote.

Climate Change Vulnerability Now an Issue for Homebuyers It’s not surprising, given the extreme weather we’re witnessing, including here in Colorado, that 63% of people who moved during the pandemic say that climate is or will be an issue where they now live, according to a Redfin survey of 1,000 Americans who moved since March 2020. Many of the respondents said they researched climate issues before making their move.

In another survey by ValuePenguin, more than half of Americans fear they would not be able to recover financially from a climate-induced catastrophe. An earlier Redfin survey showed that Americans between the ages of 35 and 44 were most likely to say that “natural disasters, extreme temperatures and rising sea levels” all influenced or will influence their decisions on where to move.

Here in Colorado, we’ve been blessed to experience fewer and less dramatic impacts from climate change. But those impacts are knocking on our door. Consider last summer’s fire smoke, or last week’s hurricane-forced winds, or our current drought. Our water supply depends on snowpack, and rising winter termperatures could mean more rain and less snow. Even though we’re east of the continental divide, we, like the areas west of us, are dependent on the dwindling Colorado River water, which is transported through several tunnels from the Western Slope.

Because we are late to the climate change party, I foresee increased migration from other parts of the country, including “tornado alley,” to Colorado because of the increased awareness of climate change’s increasing impact.

Realtor Magazine Features All-Electric Home Trend This week’s email from Realtor Magazine featured “13 Home Trends Stealing the Spotlight in 2022,” and I was pleased to see that trend number twelve was “All-Electric Homes.”

I could have written it myself! I can’t improve upon the wording, so here it is, verbatim: More homeowners understand the importance of “decarbonizing” everything from products to transportation, and especially their homes, says Chicago- and Boulder-based architect Nate

Kipnis of Kipnis Architecture + Planning. “The way we can best do this is by eliminating all fossil fuels use from houses and including induction cooktops rather than gas for cooking, which offers safer, faster, and more even cooking,” he says. Kipnis recommends using either an air-source heat pump (mini-split) for the HVAC system or a ground source system (geotherm-al).

The big payoff, he says, is that renewable energy has become the cheapest form of electricity generation.

Improvements to West 38th Avenue may soon be a reality Wheat Ridge City Council directs staff to take next steps

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sidewalks: something most people in the metro area take for granted.

But in parts of Wheat Ridge, Lakewood and Applewood … not so much.

Guy Nahmiach spoke at the podium during the Dec. 6 Wheat Ridge City Council meeting. He said he’s been living near 38th Avenue in West Ridge for 15 years — and for the entire time, neighbors’ concerns about safety and sidewalks had been largely ignored.

“Fifteen years of broken glass and nails on the world’s skinniest bike lane — sometimes six inches wide.

Citizens have asked for… just sidewalks,” he said. “Maybe even on one side of the street to start with. Let’s start with that. We’re lucky no one has been injured.”

But with spikes in population growth, more cars on the road and increased interest in cycling and alternate modes of transportation, sidewalks are top of mind along this stretch of road for many.

That being the case, Wheat Ridge City Council reached consensus Dec. 6 to direct staff to approve the master planning process through a budget supplemental appropriation and request for proposals for design

and consulting services for improvements along 38th Avenue between Kipling and Youngfield Streets.

Ken Johnstone, Wheat Ridge’s Community Development Director, said advancing sidewalks on 38th Avenue was part of the City’s Strategic Plan for 2022. He spoke about action steps to bring back potential design and community process to determine how the stretch of 38th Avenue between Kipling and Youngfield should look.

Johnstone said he was aware that council members Amanda Weaver and Korey Stites had heard from constituents along West 38th Avenue, that sidewalks and better bike / pedestrian lanes are a huge need. He said those things would be a big part of the focus for the design process.

“That said, we would also like to take a look at a traffic study to see if any additional vehicle capacity or other vehicular issues need to be addressed as well,” he said. “Perhaps not everything on the corridor needs to be touched, but certainly there are significant needs.”

Johnstone said the West 38th Avenue stretch also has drainage issues that need to be taken into consideration during the design phase of the improvements.

He said a design consultant would likely be necessary, and that his department was ready to resource that effort if City Council gave the directive.

Weaver, who not only represents the district but is a property owner in the area being discussed, said the

area between Simms and Kipling is particularly bad.

“There is no curb and gutter. And there is such a small area that has been patched — it’s almost impossible to walk. It’s almost impossible to ride anything,” she said. “We have a pretty rough patch of a major street going through our city that is carrying buses, it’s carrying tons of kids.”

Weaver described the area on the south side of 38th Avenue as an open gutter. She said in many stretches along the road, property owners have to dig out flooding culverts to keep water from backing up into yards during significant rains.

“It’s this giant river that is coming down, that is also going on to the street, but is mostly spilling into yards,” she said.

Stites agreed with Weaver, saying there are a lot more kids in the area than there were in years past.

“There are a lot of kids in this area that are trying to get to Prospect Valley — trying to get to Kullerstrand ,” he said. “This is becoming a very dangerous situation for this area.”

Mayor Bud Starker brought up the possibility of partnering with Mile High Flood District (MHFD) to offset costs of some of the work.

Johnstone said MHFD has always been a good partner, noting such an arrangement may be possible.

Council member and Mayor pro tem, Rachel Hultin, reminded those in attendance that 38th Avenue is the only thoroughfare in the imme-

diate vicinity that runs all the way from Kipling to Youngfield — something that makes its viability even more critical, especially since it is the main way for people to connect to vital resources like schools, shopping and the hospital.

“The corridor fundamentally has to work for people who aren’t in a car because it is literally their only option,” she said.

Hultin said the issue is also important because so many people that live along the corridor, including those with disabilities, rely on transit, walking and biking for transportation.

As of now, there is no specific timeline for the improvements, but Hultin implored City Staff to look closely at research done for the Activate 38 program, to reduce redundancy and hasten the RFP (request for proposal) process. Activate 38 was a Localworks program to increase walking, bicycling and transit use on 38th Avenue between Kipling and Youngfield streets. It was funded by a Kaiser Permanente Grant with support from the City of Wheat Ridge.

A supplemental budget request would need to be passed to fund the cost of the project design. That money would come from the City’s General Fund, according to City Manager, Patrick Goff. As for construction costs, Goff said right now, a high-level (very loose) estimate was around $15 million, which would likely have to come from a bond issuance.

Despite fewer reported cases, COVID up in sewage tests Signs indicate more virus prevalence, but vaccinated people may not know they’re infected

Testing of wastewater at the Englewood-Littleton sewage plant is finding record-high signs of COVID prevalence in the south metro populace, while the number of people receiving positive COVID tests has dropped — a situation that may show vaccinated people are not getting sick enough to feel the need to test, a Colorado researcher says.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, South Platte Renew, a wastewater treatment plant in Englewood that is the third largest in Colorado, has been on the front lines of helping health officials make sense of the state of the virus.

The plant collects daily samples of sewage produced by about 300,000 people, according to Pieter Van Ry, the site’s director, covering populations in Arapahoe, Douglas and

Jefferson counties. Samples are sent to various labs both in-state and outside Colorado that test for the virus’s genome, an indicator of how prevalent COVID may be in a given community.

In recent weeks, tests have shown higher amounts of COVID being detected in South Platte’s wastewater than at any other point of the pandemic. But reported cases for the area are down by about half their record peak from last winter. The reason has to do with the difference in how the wastewater and clinical tests are conducted.

“We use wastewater surveillance to supplement our human clinical testing,” said Rachel Jervis, an epidemiologist at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “It’s really complementary information to give us more data about COVID in a particular community.”

About 50% of people who catch COVID will “shed (the) COVID virus in their stool,” regardless if they have symptoms, according to Jervis, meaning it can be an early indicator for how much the virus is spreading in an area.

COVID FROM PAGE 4

But unlike a clinical test such as a nasal swab or saliva sample, wastewater testing can’t show how many people are currently infected.

“We’re really just looking at the volume of the genetic material of COVID,” Jervis said. “We’re not able to link it to an individual person and so we can’t use it to align the case data.”

Some of South Platte’s waste samples find their way to Carol Wilusz, a professor and researcher at Colorado State University, whose lab has been testing wastewater for COVID twice a week since August 2020.

Wilusz and her team begin by fil-

tering the sample in order to isolate the viral material before extracting its RNA data. Then, through an enzymatic process, they are able to turn the RNA into DNA. After this, they test the DNA using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the virus’s genetic material and how much of it there is. This produces a copy number, similar to a viral load, that can be used to gauge how present COVID is in the wastewater.

The data is then sent to CDPHE and, along with data from other labs and testing facilities, is published on their dashboard.

An advantage of wastewater testing, Wilusz said, is that it is involuntary as opposed to clinical testing, which may show a skewed picture based on who is choosing, and not

choosing, to get tested.

“Testing of wastewater is completely unbiased, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican or rich or poor,” she said. “Regardless of who or where you are, you’re getting tested in an unbiased fashion.”

Since the end of October, viral copies in wastewater collected by South Platte have hovered at around 300,000 per liter, shooting past last winter’s COVID peak, when copies per liter were 263,000.

This comes as clinical cases from tests in the area have sharply decreased to well under 100,000 per day, a case count comparable to summer 2020.

Wilusz said it appears that COVID is more prevalent in the area than it was last year but thanks to climbing

vaccination rates and the return of masking policies, fewer people may be getting sick and feeling the need to test.

Still, Jervis, the epidemiologist at CDPHE, urged more people to get tested routinely and said clinical testing remains a crucial tool in the fight against COVID. “While we use wastewater data to understand trends, wastewater data can’t be used for any individual to make behavioral choices,” she said. “And so the only way to know whether you could have COVID and could be exposing your family and friends is if you get tested.”

Doctors urge: Don’t neglect other issues during pandemic Local physicians’ panel focuses on whole-body health

BY MOLLY ARMBRISTER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

While COVID-19 continues to sweep Colorado, now with the added threat of the omicron variant, Douglas County doctors urged the importance of balancing COVID prevention and vaccination with overall health and wellness during a virtual panel hosted by the Castle Pines Chamber of Commerce on Dec. 8.

“Your Health and You in 2022,” a panel discussion held in conjunction with Centura Health’s Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, marks the second annual health-centric panel hosted by the chamber, with the first held in November 2020 as the number of COVID-19 cases experienced its most dramatic ramp-up since the pandemic began.

This year, with the proliferation of vaccines and the emergence of new variants playing tug-of-war over the state’s case count, the panel focused on the intersection of COVID-19 and the general well-being of the population.

According to Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment data presented during the panel, 1,419 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 in Colorado. Of

those, 84% were unvaccinated.

Daily hospital admission rates are lower than they were around this time last year, but Colorado hospitals have been busy, said Dr. Devin Bateman, chief medical officer for Castle Rock Adventist and Parker Adventists hospitals and the panel’s moderator. Rather than a sharp spike in new cases, the data reflect a

more sustained rate of hospitalizations.

“Patients are really consistently being admitted with this wave that began several months ago,” Bateman said.

And COVID patients stack up day after day, the rest of the hospital feels the impact, he said.

But COVID-19 is only part of

the picture for health care providers and patients alike, with more than 20 months of strain on health systems and postponed preventative and maintenance care coalescing to reach even those who have remained physically untouched by COVID, according to the panelists.

they support. Many Colorado-made products can be found at the shop for that reason.

Greeting cards take up a lot of inventory. They were the first thing stocked because, as Handy says, “you always need a card.”

Now, cards are how Handy and Fattor connect deeper with their customers.

“We learn about their stories and what they’re going through,” Handy said. “It becomes very special because you get to share that with them and you know that they are letting you be part of their story in that way.”

Connecting with customers and connecting customers with affordable art is Handy’s favorite part of running the shop.

“You feel like you’re introducing someone to a friend that they never knew they needed,” she said. “They come in with a story or a gift they need to buy and they find something that resonates with them — an artist with a similar background or from the same town… We carry a lot of reclaimed pieces and sometimes people will find an element in those reclaimed pieces they connect with and it becomes really special. You can really see how we’re all interconnected through things. I think things have a lot of intrinsic value and when somebody has made something there’s a lot of meaning behind it.”

URGE FROM PAGE 7

Beginning in the spring of 2020 with the first wave of COVID, many people put off regular medical care like screenings that can detect cancer, high blood pressure or diabetes, and vaccinations against things like influenza, shingles and tetanus, said Dr. Widian Jubair, a primary care physician at Castle Rock Internal Medicine.

In the very early days of the pandemic, non-emergent medical facilities were closed in most cases, which meant that patients had to postpone these kinds of procedures, but even after these clinics were allowed to reopen and patients could visit relatively safely with precautions, patients hesitated, Jubair said.

More than a year later, this trend has resulted in an increase in the number of preventative and manageable conditions Jubair and her partners see in their practice.

The tertiary impacts of COVID-19 aren’t limited to primary care clinics.

Dr. Jesse Loar, an emergency room physician at Castle Rock Adventist, sees the effects as well.

In the two weeks preceding the panel, Loar estimated that COVID patients made up 15 to 20% of daily volumes in the emergency department at his facility. Some come in at the beginning of their illness, experiencing symptoms and needing a test to confirm their suspicions. Others have been sick for seven to 10 days and seek more serious treatment. And still a third group come into the emergency department for another reason, like an injury, and happen to have COVID as well.

Regardless of what brings these patients to the hospital, Loar said, the supportive care they require, including intravenous fluids, medications, and breathing therapies, creates a trickledown effect for the rest of the emergency department.

“There are indirect effects on our ability to take care of the community the way we’d like to because of the severity of this disease,” Loar said.

The pandemic’s impact on mental health is another indirect, if better documented, effect, as people across the world deal with increased levels of anxiety, depression and attention disorders stemming from isolation, uncertainty, life changes and even sickness and death of a loved one.

“Mental health is a huge, huge concern for our population,” said Anna Jones, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Centura Health Physician Group and Castle Rock Adventist.

Pregnancy always adds a layer of wariness about the world, and carrying a baby through a pandemic is particularly stressful, Jones said. At first, uncertainty swirled about the safety of COVID vaccines for pregnant women, as they are not generally included in clinical testing groups. Some women chose to be

inoculated, while others resisted.

“The pregnant population continues to be the least-vaccinated group of people in our nation,” Jones said.

But in the months since the vaccine rollout began in the U.S., respected groups such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine have recommended the vaccine for pregnant women, with studies demonstrating its safety and effectiveness for mother and child alike, Jones said.

But mental health struggles aren’t limited to pregnant women, Jones said. Overall, she has seen increasing rates of depressions or anxiety, which in turn can lead to substance abuse.

She noted one silver lining, however. Many patients in her practice have taken the opportunity presented by the pandemic to reinvent themselves in ways they otherwise wouldn’t have.

Whether that means taking steps to improve their health, leaving bad relationships or making a career change that better aligns with their values, some women are making significant changes for the better, according to Jones.

But while this is hopeful news for some women, the pandemic continues to generate uncertainty and fear for children, some of whom are so young that they don’t remember life before the pandemic.

Children are struggling with emotional balance, socialization, keeping up in school and an array of other challenges as the pandemic drags on, said Dr. Ann Engel, a physician at Centura’s Healthfit Family Medicine.

“You could go on and on about the effects this pandemic has had on our kids,” Engel said. But she hopes that broadening vaccine-eligible populations will help reign in the virus, easing these effects.

“The more people we can vaccinate and protect, the less disease we’ll see in the community at large” Engel said.

Both Engel and Jones encouraged the use of things like therapy and counseling when possible, even if that means virtual visits or other online resources. Primary-care doctors can sometimes offer services that their patients may not have known about.

Jubair pressed the importance of keeping up with regular health care tasks, including physicals, screenings and vaccinations, including an annual flu vaccine.

Colorado’s flu season was incredibly mild last winter, according to Loar, the result of COVID-related masking, sanitizing and isolation, but the medical community in Colorado does not expect a repeat this winter.

The doctors agreed: It will be as important as ever to take care of oneself this cold and flu season and beyond.

“Preventative medicine and primary care are not elective, they’re essential. To fight any infection, we have to have a healthy immune system,” Jubair said.

“Getting your shots, getting your screenings, they’re the first steps toward staying healthy.”

Colo. flu season mild so far, but that could change Flu vaccinations are running behind last year’s pace

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Last year, Colorado’s flu season was virtually nonexistent.

Only 34 people were hospitalized for the flu during the entire 8-month season in 2020 and 2021.

There were zero reported flu deaths among kids.

This year, the flu season is, well, existent. There have been at least 36 flu hospitalizations as of Dec. 14, a number that started the month at around half that sum then doubled in a single week.

“It’s not a huge number but the fact that it doubled over the last week is concerning,” said Heather Roth, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Immunization Branch chief.

Flu vaccination rates are down compared to last year, as well. So Roth is remaining vigilant. It would not be unprecedented for a flu season that starts out calm to roar to life after the New Year.

But there are also reasons for optimism. No kids had died from the flu as of mid-December. During the most recent pre-pandemic flu season, the 2019-20 season, nearly 200 people had already been hospitalized with the flu by this time —

five times as many people as we’ve seen this year.

Though vaccination rates are behind last year’s record highs, they are in line with previous years’ numbers. And Roth said vaccinations also appear to be picking up.

As of the week of Dec. 6, the state had administered about 1.6 million doses of flu vaccine. In the previous year, it had already administered 1.8 million doses by this time. But the number of flu vaccinations

administered weekly has begun to outpace last year’s weekly trends.

“It could be people are just waiting a little bit longer and all-told we’ll measure up pretty well to last year,” Roth said.

Last flu season, amid waves of stay-at-home orders and other social-distancing measures meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the U.S. saw one of the weakest flu seasons on record. Months went by with relatively few people showing up in hospitals or doctors’ offices with cases of the flu.

This year is worse — but still not exactly bad. About 3% of people currently seeking treatment at Kaiser Permanente offices have influenza-like illness, well below the baseline of 5%.

It’s worth noting that the flu season officially begins in October each year and typically peaks in January or February. But, in some years, it doesn’t peak until March.

That’s why the calm start to this season could be a good sign — or it could be deceptive.

The 2015-16 season also started out slow. Then it took off around the end of February.

To Roth, this shows that, despite the good start this year, it’s not time for Colorado to get cocky. Getting vaccinated against the flu is still important, as is practicing good hand-washing and staying home when sick.

“I think there’s definitely the potential for things to get bad,” she said.

RSV a worry for kids Kids and older adults typically bear the brunt of the flu season.

That’s true this year, too. Among the small number of hospitalizations so far, those 65 and older and those 5 and younger have the highest rates.

But flu isn’t the most significant respiratory virus stalking children right now in Colorado — nor is it the second-most significant.

Estimates of hospitalization rates for RSV — respiratory syncytial virus — were 82 times higher than those for flu in November. Pediatric hospitalization rates for COVID-19

were also significantly higher.

There really is no comparison between the flu and COVID. Hospitalization rates for the coronavirus have far exceeded flu hospitalization rates for all recent years. In November, the hospitalization rate among all age groups for COVID was 188 times higher than the hospitalization rate for flu.

But, Roth said, this is all the more reason to take the flu seriously.

Even though the risk of hospitalization is lower, now is not a good time to take that gamble.

Hospitals remain crowded places.

Even though COVID hospitalizations have fallen in recent weeks, more than 1,300 people are currently hospitalized with the coronavirus in Colorado. The state’s hospital intensive-care units are 95% full and, according to federal data, nearly 38% of people in the ICU in Colorado are there with COVID. Getting vaccinated against both the flu and COVID will help reduce the strain on hospitals and also reduce the likelihood that you will end up in the hospital with either, Roth said. A flu vaccine can also limit the risk of passing the virus to someone who is vulnerable.

The COVID and flu vaccines can be administered at the same time — just in different arms or, at least, 1 inch apart from one another in the same arm.

About 56% of Coloradans 65 and older have gotten a flu vaccine this year, Roth said. But only about 18% of those ages 20 to 39 have.

“I think sometimes people think they may have missed the window on flu vaccination because we start hammering them pretty hard in October,” Roth said. “There’s this belief that you need it before Halloween, and that’s not true. You really should be getting your vaccine as long as the virus is circulating.”

Skate the Lake, plunge on tap New Year’s weekend

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Evergreen’s New Year’s weekend activities will look a bit different this year — and ice isn’t a requirement.

Skate the Lake on New Year’s Eve will be from 3-8 p.m. with a laser light show as its grand finale, while the Evergreen New Year’s Day Plunge will be at noon at Buchanan ponds.

Skate the Lake details The 24th Skate the Lake continues to be an alcohol-free winter family festival with games and activities for all ages, according to Pam Lindquist, who is coordinating the event for the Evergreen Park & Recreation District.

“We want families to enjoy what we have to offer: the lake, the park, everything,” Lindquist said.

In addition to games, there will be a heated tent where family movies will be shown, fire pits for marshmallow roasting, hot cider and coffee from the Muddy Buck, the Campfire Evergreen food truck and broomball demonstra-

tions.

“We are painting a picture of what a hometown small town does on New Year’s Eve,” Lindquist said. “We support each other and have old-fashioned fun.”

A laser light show by Lightsmith Inc. will replace the traditional fireworks because it’s been too dry, Lindquist said, noting that attendees are in for a treat because of the high quality of the Las Vegas-based company.

“This is the first laser light show ever, and I don’t think it will be the last,” she said.

Lindquist said changing Skate the Lake to an earlier time — 3-8 p.m. — will allow more families to participate.

“It will change the dynamic a lot for the right reasons,” she said.

Tickets are $25, and only 1,000 will be sold to help keep the smalltown feel to the event. No parking will be available at the Lake House, but shuttles will run from the Buchanan and Wulf rec centers, Evergreen High School and Stagecoach Park.

“We’re thrilled about this event,” Lindquist said. “It’s going

to be great.”

The plunge details Jump into the Buchanan Ponds on Jan. 1, ice or no ice on the pond, and it will be its usual wildly popular frigid fun, according to John DuRussel, president of Active4All, EPRD’s foundation.

If there’s no ice by New Year’s Day, participants will jump into the water from a dock, plus this year’s plunge will have a costume contest to encourage even more outrageous, interesting costumes.

Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place.

Proceeds from the event go to EPRD’s INSPIRE program for the special needs population, plus Active4All helps pay fees for families who can’t afford to use the rec district’s facilities.

The plunge, an Evergreen New Year’s Day staple since 2009, moved from Evergreen Lake to Buchanan in 2019, and organizers decided to keep it at its new location.

Registration is $35 per person at the a4aevergreen.org website, and onsite registration will be avail-

able this year.

DuRussel has taken the plunge several times, and he encourages everyone to start 2022 by participating in the event. The nice thing about moving the plunge to Buchanan Ponds, DuRussel said, is participants have access to the — warm — locker rooms and showers, plus there’s plenty of parking.

IF YOU GO Evergreen New Year’s Day Plunge WHEN: Noon-1:30 p.m. Jan. 1 WHERE: Buchanan Ponds next to the Buchanan Park Rec Center DETAILS: Registration is $35 and can be purchased at a4aevergreen.org or at the event. Free parking at the rec center.

Skate the Lake WHEN: 3-8 p.m. Dec. 31 with a laser light show at 7 p.m.

WHERE: Evergreen Lake House DETAILS: Tickets are $25 and must be purchased at evergreenrecreation. com/310/Skate-the-Lake. Park at the Buchanan and Wulf rec centers, Evergreen High School or Stagecoach Park, with shuttles to the Lake House.

Not many white hats these days Athletic programs seeking official help for high-school games

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s a national crisis, according to Karissa Niehoff, the executive director of the National Federation of High Schools.

“It” is the shortage of officials to work high-school games. The problem is worse because of the impacts of coronavirus. Adam Laubert, former operations director for Herd of Zebras, a group that tries to find and train prospective officials, said some game officials don’t want to retire.

A basketball official in semiretirement said fan abuse is a problem. But he thought another issue was lack of qualifications to work varsity-level games which, he thinks, contributes to an oftencited reason for a lack of officials - fan abuse.

A retired CHSAA baseball official blamed three things -- lack of involvement by the Colorado High School Activities Association, a lack of recruiting and retention efforts and low pay.

Whatever the reason, a lack of game officials was a problem even before the pandemic and before certain officials didn’t want to

hang up their whistles. Niehoff said in some cases, games have had to be moved and sports programs canceled.

“We need more people to consider officiating high-school sports,” Niehoff said in a video presentation. “Parents need to appreciate the time and sacrifice and devotion that officials make to ensure high-school sports are available to our nation’s youth.”

Pay and travel time One issue is the rate of pay. Salaries for the state’s officials depend on the sport. In baseball and basketball, each member of a two- or three-person crew earns $62.42 per game. In field hockey, the fee is $58.26 for each of the two officials.

In volleyball, the fee is $50.98 for each of the two varsity-level officials and $39.02 per official for a junior-varsity or “C” team match.

In Texas, high-school football officials are paid $105 to $185 per game, depending on attendance and travel distance. Baseball umpires there earned $85 in travel stipends for the first game and $70 for subsequent games in 2019. In Colorado, the travel stipend increases to $10 per game next year.

According to retired CHSAA umpire Dan Weikle, who worked state-level playoff games during many of his 46 years as a certified baseball official, the pay for an umpire in 1964 was $10 per game.

“If you extrapolate that out,

that’s $88 today,” he said. “We get paid $62. The pay hasn’t kept up with inflation. In 1975, when I started, the pay waas $25 ($118 in today’s dollars).”

Ray Garza is a former basketball player, former basketball coach and a basketball official in transition. He’s not signed up to work games this season but keeps his referee togs at Riverdale Ridge High School just in case.

His issue with pay came in two parts – travel time and the hour before varsity-level games. In the case of a varsity level basketball

game, Garza had to be in the gym an hour before scheduled tipoff time. Then there’s the time it takes to get to a gym. In some cases, thanks to traffic, it can take an hour.

Garza’s problem isn’t necessarily with the travel time. It’s the hour before the game begins that’s unpaid “What job asks that?” Garza said. “If they could build in something, $10 for gas would be a step.

Isolation and loneliness carry health risks for older Americans

W

e’re heading into the holiday season, which is often embraced as a time to get together with friends and family to celebrate traditional holidays.

However, what can be a joyous time for some, may be difficult for older adults who are more vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness. Particularly during the holiday season. In fact, a recent report showed that nearly one-fourth of adults aged 65 and older are socially isolated.

Loneliness and social isolation are serious health risks, particularly to at-risk individuals, such as older adults. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking or obesity. In addition, poor social relationships (characterized by social isolation or loneliness) were associated

with a 29 percent increased risk of heart disease and a 32 percent increased risk of stroke. Perhaps most concerning is the fact that a person’s risk of premature death from all causes is significantly increased by social Todd Wisser isolation, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity and physical inactivity.

As a general demographic, seniors can be more at risk for social isolation and loneliness.

There are many tell-tale signs that you or someone you know is at risk for experiencing loneliness or social isolation. Risk factors can include but are not limited to disability or lack of mobility, worsening vision or hearing problems, separation from friends or family, illness or

death of a loved one and lack of access to transportation.

Luckily, there are steps we can take to help combat the loneliness epidemic. All humans need social connection and interaction as part of their survival. But often as adults age, they begin to spend more time alone making them more vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness. Engaging in activities that are meaningful can boost mood and give people a sense of purpose. In addition to living longer, research demonstrates that productive people seem to improve cognitive function and are better able to maintain their well-being.

Some tips for staying connected include: • Learn something new – sign up for a class in your community •Reignite your passions with something you love — begin an old hobby • Explore volunteer opportunities with your local community

that allow you to help others • Make sure you stay connected with your friends and family inperson or through phone calls, email, video chats or social media • Stay physically active and consider group exercise, such a walking club or working out with a friend • Find a faith-based or spiritual organization where you can engage with others in a meaningful way • If you are able, adopt a pet.

Animals can be a source of comfort and may also lower blood pressure and reduce stress.

By employing some of these tips, we can do our part to help combat loneliness and support the social and emotional needs of the older adults we care about this holiday season.

What is it about Christmas season?

I

s it the lights, and the decorations? Or maybe the music?

How about family traditions and get-togethers? Oh, and don’t forget about the food, especially the baked goods—is that what it is?

What is it about the Christmas season that brings about that little change in everybody’s perspective that makes us all, as Bill Murray says, “the people we always hoped we would be”?

I know part of what it is, certainly, for people of my Faith tradition: we commemorate the miracle birth of a child sent to Earth expressly to die to pay the price for our screw-ups. That probably should be the main part of it, but, let’s be real, Christmas is no longer strictly, or even primarily, a religious holiday. I have friends of every faith tradition who celebrate the season, and exchange gifts on Dec. 25.

Like many parts of modern life, Christmas straddles the religious and the secular worlds. And, as such, it really is a thing that has a unique power to weave itself into the fabric of all our lives and stitch us together. I promise you,

even a lot of charity work at this time of year is initiated by people from every faith, even the ones who claim not to have a faith.

So, what is it?

What gives Christmas this power?

For children, it Michael Alcorn is no doubt the anticipation of what might be coming next—the unknown. I am, sadly, a little past that stage of life where the children can’t fall asleep and wake up way too early and can’t hold still for the excitement, but I remember it. Christmas through the eyes of a child is a time of simple joy, and the fact that they don’t *know* what’s coming is immaterial; in fact, once they get to the age where they send you the Amazon page for what they want, there is no such joy. There is no wonder.

For viewers of the Hallmark Channel, Christmas time represent a special opportunity, where that mood that infects all of us supposedly makes it easier to find

that greatest gift of all: love. Not to mention, I suppose, all the parties and the…um….liquid socialinteraction-grease that seems to flow a little easier this time of year. It’s been many years since I was searching for that, but I seem to remember there was a different feel to the holiday season—it was hope, always wondering what comes next.

In fact, I think that’s what best represents the season: Wonder.

Whether in Faith, or kids’ presents, or in romance, this season runs thick with something that the modern age and our intelligentsia tells us to ignore.

But maybe that’s what’s missing the rest of the year. For me, hearing Bing Crosby, Julie Andrews, Karen Carpenter and Josh Groban on the radio remind me of the wonder of people who make music as naturally as they breathe. The lights fill the darkness with beauty, instead of just cold white light.

Family reminds me of the wonder of all these odd collections of cells and DNA result in unique individuals who are inextricably tied together.

But wonder doesn’t need to end

Christmas and community

as it the Christmas Spirit and the power of nature converging to build community among people?

When I drove to church this morning the clouds over the mountains above Boulder looked strange — gray, yellow and foreboding. It was just days after the deadly tornado in Kentucky.Were we getting a tornado here in Colorado?

At church, I parked and went inside for Mass. Within moments high winds blasted the church, rattling the windows. It began to pour. I brought up the daily readings on my cell phone. A text interrupted my reading. It was from a neighbor.“Your recycling can got knocked over and there’s paper all over the neighborhood.” Yikes. My heart beat faster.

I worried personal information could be found by neighbors. I couldn’t leave Mass because I was serving in a role, and was being counted on. I called my husband but he didn’t answer either our house phone or his cell. What to do? Let go and let God? Did Jesus, whose birthday we were about to celebrate, care about private papers being blown around? Supposedly He cares about everything, but probably thought this particular thing could wait.

After Mass I drove toward home, sorry that I missed my adoration time I had planned.

Our good neighbors to the north had picked up a lot of our recycling.

God bless them. I felt so grateful.

Then I saw a lot more of our papers

WIT AND GRIT

wet from the rain strewn on the south side of our house and down a hill. Another neighbor came out not knowing what had happened.

Her garbage can had blown over too.

We both started grabbing handfuls of wet papers which Mary McFerren were scattered for acres, until they were all picked up. With both of us picking up our papers which were all spilled from the wind and soaked from the rain, it did feel like we had something in common, more than we ever had before.

We joked about the mess as the wind walloped us, knocking us around.

You might wonder why I wasn’t worried about my husband? After his stroke in May, he often doesn’t hear his new phone ring. The volume gets turned down without him knowing it. And since he meditates in the morning, he doesn’t want to answer the phone. Even though he has done a terrific job recovering from the stroke, the phone problem can be irksome like it was that day.

But another positive thing on bright side, before I left Mass that day a friend told me amidst the rain and wind there had been a double rainbow. She also said she had been praying for a relative of mine. I had noticed a positive change in that relative! The little miracles of

Christmas in my opinion.

Later at Whole Foods where I went to buy flowers for the neighbor who called and picked up my garbage, I told part of this story, to the man working in produce. I told him I was buying flowers for my neighbor and why.

“That’s what community is all about, how you build community,” he said.

“Thanks for listening. Have a Merry Christmas” I said to him.

“Thanks for sharing. You have Merry Christmas, too.”

LIFE

Why some people take ‘digital detoxes’ and what mental health experts have to say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or weeks, Jordan Novinger debated breaking up with Twitter.

In the span of a couple months, the Castle Rock resident had gained a following of several thousand. She spent hours talking with people online. Although she made new friends in the process, the 21-year-old also felt pressured to stay engaged.

At work, Novinger tried to resist a persistent temptation to check her accounts. Physically, Novinger was present, she said. Mentally, she was not. Her iPhone’s screen time report showed on some days Novinger spent up to four hours on Twitter.

In early December, Novinger cut the cord. She deleted Twitter. She took a break from Instagram too, which she steps away from periodically.

Since then, Novinger works more. She feels more productive. She is more inclined to pick up the phone and have a conversation with someone. She can’t leave Instagram permanently because she uses the site for work, but she hopes she’s made “a clean break” from Twitter.

“It was such an addiction,” she said.

The word is ‘toxic’ Several people in the Denver metro area who have taken short-term “digital detoxes” or left a platform forever all described social media with the same word: Toxic.

They offered up a laundry list of reasons why.

Screen addiction. Never feeling present. Rampant misinformation. Political fights. Hateful comment sections. The comparison game. Misleading highlight reels. The pressure to curate one’s life instead of simply live it.

Eventually, they all hit a breaking point.

The concept of undergoing a “digital detox” is increasing in popularity, according to a 2020 study published in the Journal of Technology in Behavioral Science that looked at the practice’s impact on well-being.

And while a whopping share of the population still uses social media — about 72% of all Americans do, according to the Pew Research Center — growth on numerous sites is slowing or stagnant.

The number of people on social media has remained relatively stable over the past five years, Pew’s Social Media Use in 2021 report says. Growth on platforms including Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat has remained statistically unchanged since 2019.

“This represents a broader trend that extends

beyond the past two years in which the rapid adoption of most of these sites and apps seen in the last decade has slowed,” Pew’s report states.

Reddit and YouTube are exceptions. Pew surveys found YouTube is the nation’s most-used social media platform and has shown a marked increase in growth since 2019. Facebook and Instagram are the next most popular sites.

Pew’s study acknowledges “a string of controversies” facing social media sites — like their management of misinformation or privacy concerns — and “the public’s relatively negative sentiments” about some parts of social media.

Pew surveying found 64% of American believe social media has “a mostly negative effect on the way things are going in the country today.”

At least one mental health expert said while much other public scrutiny rightfully focuses on social media’s effects for young people, she’d like to see more research and attention on its ramifications across age demographics.

“It’s not just about kids,” Diane Thompson said, a psychiatrist with Centura Health.

The individuals who spoke to Colorado Community Media about departing social media ranged in age from 21 to 37. All said they were glad they left. Each emphatically encouraged others to give it a try.

“I would love for people to get off of social media. I think it’s just draining, and it can be so negative and toxic,” Novinger said. “While it can be good, I think most of the it’s not used for good.”

Taking the plunge Evergreen couple Jace and Taylor Jackson, both 30, recently completed a six-week detox from Instagram and have significantly scaled back their use of other platforms.

“I am shocked by how I have really broken the addictive, gotta click the button and check it,” Taylor said.

Social media became a routine part of their lives after their introduction to Myspace as high school and college students. In time, they joined several platforms. Jace said he’s known for a while that social media had become “a toxic presence in my life.”

“I want to rule social media. I don’t want it to rule me, and I think as soon as it crosses that line, I need to take matters into my own hands,” Jace said.

A book called The Comfort Crisis about inspired him to reconnect with the real world.

Jace and Taylor, avid outdoors explorers, also noticed they felt better after backpacking trips during which they rarely checked their phones.

So the duo made a plan to stay off Instagram for a month. Then they enjoyed leaving so much they extended the break another two weeks.

During that time, the couple crushed books, Jace said. They bought “an old-fashioned alarm clock” and charged their phones in the kitchen instead of their bedroom, avoiding the urge to scroll at night. The Jacksons slept better, they found. By day, Taylor stopped filling every free moment with a screen.

Another habit they broke by detoxing — incessantly taking photos. The couple recently got dressed up and attended a holiday party without taking a single picture, they said. Taylor’s main goal during her detox was to be more present.

She also doesn’t like the comparison game

people can get trapped in on social media, particularly when feeds are often carefully curated highlight reels of someone’s life, she said.

“I think creating your own reel can steal the joy of what you’re trying to capture,” Taylor said. “You’re constantly trying to frame your life in a certain way.”

She’s not alone in that thinking. Comparing her life to virtual realities drove Alex Williams, 23, to leave Instagram as well, although she hopes it’s a permanent move for her.

Williams deleted the app after graduating high school. She went from checking it daily, then weekly, to about once a month before ditching the site altogether. Williams needed to protect her wellbeing, she said.

“The hardest thing for my mental health was all of the diet culture that’s pushed, especially on Instagram,” she said. “It just painted such a fake version of reality that I figured out, first of all, I could never achieve, and second of all, never wanted to.”

After leaving the platform, the negative feelings she experienced when using Instagram completely evaporated, she said.

She checks Reddit every so often and finds dog videos on TikTok amusing. Most of her social media consumption has shifted to YouTube. She listens to podcasts or watches cooking videos.

Williams prefers that content because recipes are something she can recreate in her other free time, and cooking makes her happy.

She considers returning to Instagram every few months. Williams could try setting up healthy boundaries for herself, she said, but she hasn’t caved yet.

“I don’t see myself doing it,” she said.

Jeremy Myles said he too is done with one site forever. Myles set up his Facebook profile in 2009. Ten years later, he was done.

The 37-year-old got rid of Facebook partly out of concerns with data privacy, but also because of “the toxicity” and “how much hate was being spewed online.” Time after time, he said, he SEE BREAK UP, P17

became frustrated seeing Facebook friends share misinformation, or watching loved ones get into online political squabbles.

If he joined the spats, Myles never felt better.

“Every one of those arguments was with somebody who I loved or respected,” he said. “I didn’t want to contribute to it anymore.”

Myles said he also noticed some of his friends and family, many in the Boomer generation, routinely got sucked into comment sections. Over time they seemed to grow generally angrier and more frustrated people.

“It’s sad to watch,” he said.

He encourages his parents to avoid the comments, where “people can be so hateful and angry,” he said. If he wants to hold a serious conversation with someone in his life, he tries to do that in-person, rather than from behind a keyboard.

He keeps ups with news on Twitter and is more inclined to engage on that platform but aims to do so sparingly, he said. In the future, Myles might consider using Facebook for business purposes.

“I am absolutely from a personal perspective not going to return to Facebook,” he said.

Expert insight Mental health and media professionals said there is limited research available about psychological benefits of leaving social media.

The study that examined digital detoxes’ effect on wellness said while commentators have advocated for social media breaks, “little work has examined the effectiveness of taking time off of social media.”

The study did not find a measurable positive effect on wellbeing from digital detoxing, it said, but acknowledged limitations around its data.

The experiment comprised three

O

field groups — 248 people in the U.K., 199 in the U.S. and 203 in the Hong Kong. Some spent one day abstaining from social media while a subgroup participated for two days, comparing a social-media free day to a day of normal use.

They then rated their satisfaction with their day, the feeling of social connectedness, and its positive and negative effects on them. People reported feeling less connection or relatedness while staying off social media, the study said, and no difference in their well-being by abstaining from their socials.

The study recruited a smaller number of participants than it wanted and could not say confidently people were truthful about whether they stayed off platforms.

About half of people said it was difficult to give up social media for the day. That was in fact one reason for the shortness of the study.

“The time scope of these experiments was necessarily narrow as we were concerned about participant compliance and retention. The short-term effects observed in our studies might not generalize to longer periods of social media abstinence,” the study states.

Despite the slowdown, social media use did climb some during the pandemic, Lynn Schofield Clark said. Clark chairs the University of Denver’s department of media, film and journalism studies.

That was likely for pragmatic reasons, she said, like work-related tasks and the need to stay connected.

“I think that the urge to take time away from social media has to be understood in relation to the generalized feeling of exhaustion we all have due to heightened stress,” Clark said.

People use social media to keep up with those who matter to them, “and connection is protective against mental stress and mental illness,” Clark said.

In addition to pointing to the study published in the Journal of Technology in Behavioral Science, Clark

added that some people are leaving social media — namely Facebook and Instagram — for reasons other than wellness. That might be their desire for heightened regulations or concerns with privacy violations.

“It’s too early to see whether or not this is a trend that will have an effect on these and other companies, but Jack Dorsey’s departure from Twitter is interesting in this regard,” Clark said.

Thompson, the Centura Health psychiatrist, said social media isn’t all bad if people can master limiting their exposure to toxic content or people and maximize how it makes them feel connected.

“There are times where social media can be a great way to connect,” Thompson said.

She’s still an advocate for breaking away from social media when needed. Thompson has said her clients sometimes come in overwhelmed by comments they receive or see on social media.

Occasionally, she has written a prescription for her client to stay off whatever platform is bothering them. She says it works.

“There is a discernable difference between the last time I saw them and how they were feeling,” she said.

Social media addictions or too much screen time can be taxing on mental health — the content people absorb might be depressing, or spur anxiety and irritability — but it also impacts physical health, Thompson said.

Hours spent on a person’s phone could be spent talking a walk, exercising or being physically active.

She suspects people are turning to social media to destress while weathering the tumultuous climate of 2020 and 2021. She urged people to have compassion for themselves while they cope, but to also take a hard look at whether the content they consume on social media is actually helping them unwind or further fostering anxiety.

Kendra Miguez founded a therapy center for women focused on help-

ing them build self-esteem and improve their mental health. Their five locations include Denver and Broomfield.

“We deal with issues all the time with social media, and a lot of some of the unhealthier aspects of it and how it affects mental health and selfesteem,” she said. “Particularly with the millennial generation and the generation in the teens coming up.”

The average person spends two hours a day on social media, she said, and that’s not counting other time spent on the internet. Taking a detox or slowing down social media use makes room for “healthier, more productive activities.”

The platforms can perpetuate unattainable body images or glamorous lifestyles “that can make people feel as if their lives are less worthy.”

“Another con is that it’s very addictive. It definitely can light up the same parts of the brain that get lighted with an addictive substance,” she said. “There’s an intense stimulation for the reward system.”

It doesn’t always matter whether a person’s engagement on social media is positive or negative, she said.

Addiction can creep in either way.

“We start to chase the dopamine and you’ll get the dopamine rush when you get a like, and there’s even more when you get a comment,” she said.

Miguez echoed Thompson — social media does have its benefits.

The platforms can be integral to people’s professional lives and help them stay connected with distant friends, like old high school classmates.

Miguez’s advice is to develop selfawareness. She encourages people to be mindful of how social media makes them feel. That includes taking note of how whether relationships or interactions with people online are genuine or superficial.

“We’re not really getting our needs met, even though it might feel that way. It’s an illusion. We’re running from our loneliness,” she said.

The Power of Horses lives at History Colorado

ne of the first things a visitor to Denver sees as they leave the airport is the infamous Blue Mustang sculpture. Football fans cheer for the Denver Broncos and plenty of students go to schools where they root for the mustangs.

Even if we don’t have the same relationship with horses that we did back when Colorado was a young state, the animals still capture our hearts and imagination. And History Colorado’s latest exhibit explores the roles - both past and present horses play all over the state.

“We were really looking at how horses have shaped Colorado history across time and how people still engage with them today,” said Julie Peterson, public historian and exhibit designer. “The exhibit spans a broad history, starting way back in ancient times to the horses of today.

We get to explore things like the modern therapeutic workhorses do with people.”

The Power of Horses runs at the History Colorado Center,

“We also wanted to showcase the 1200 Broadway in stories of Black and Hispanic cowDenver, through boys as well,” Peterson said. “We May 9. The new have some photos and more from the exhibit, which Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo that fills the Ballantine are really fantastic.”

“One of the things we thought about was the question of what would we lose in a world without horses? They are so powerful and shaped our culture so much, especially in the west. We would have a different culture without horses,” Peterson said. “The hope is people, even if they don’t already love horses, can find something they connect with and connect us all as Coloradoans.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — My Morning Jacket at the Mission Ballroom Going to a concert for Near Year’s Eve is a great way to celebrate the beginning of a new year without all the pressures of going to a New

Year’s party. And Kentucky’s My Morning Jacket have you covered whether you want to rock out on the actual evening or in the nights leading up to it. The group is performing at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver, on Wednesday, Dec. 29 through Friday, Dec. 31.

The group will be joined by a different opener each night — first Neal Francis, then Flock of Dimes and finally Shannon and The Clams — which means each performance will be a special treat. And when you add My Morning Jacket’s epic catalog of country-tinged psychedelic rock, you really can’t go wrong.

It doesn’t hurt that lead singer Jim James has, to my ear at least, one of the best voices in modern music.

Colo. eyes tougher water-quality rules for South Platte, Clear Creek Advocacy groups demanded reversal of previous decision

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The state Water Quality Control Commission has reversed itself and

agreed to consider tougher protections for urban streams, another sign of activists deploying recent environmental justice laws in safeguarding local water, land and air.

The commission on Dec. 13 unanimously accepted demands in a petition from a coalition of conservation and advocacy groups that they revisit staff recommendations rejected in 2020 that would have upgraded protections for the South

Platte River and Clear Creek.

The upgrades rejected at a June 2020 commission meeting would have made it harder for industries and other water polluters to get effluent permits in stretches of heavily impacted urban waters that nevertheless show some signs of fish and wildlife recovery.

That 2020 decision, and a commissioner’s statement that higher protections were reserved for “pris-

tine mountain waters,” infuriated a coalition of dozens of conservation groups and local governments, from Colorado GreenLatinos to Trout Unlimited to Denver City Council members.

They wrote to Gov. Jared Polis ahead of the Dec. 13 meeting arguing that the statewide commission was “prioritizing industrial profits SEE WATER, P21

Game officials are independent contractors; by law, they cannot form a union. Weikle said state’s schools pay CHSAA a fee, part of which goes toward running officials’ associations.

“It’s not in CHSAA’s best interests to give us a raise,” Weikle said.

“They want to make officials’ pay cost-effective for all the schools.”

Recruiting and retention At one time, CHSAA offered training to prospective officials.

That’s not the case anymore.

Weinkle said even an appearance at a high-school career day would help.

Weikle said CHSAA was “good to him” during the time he served as an official.

“I don’t have an ax to grind. The system worked for me. I worked state championships in football, basketball and baseball,” Wrinkle said. “CHSAA does nothing to support high-school athletic officials.

They leave it to the sports officials’ jurisdictions. CHSAA has a direct connection to the schools, which could do more to get the word out needing more officials. That could pave the way for us to get into the high schools. We could hit as many kids as we could and may get 12 or 15 to stick.”

Representatives from CHSAA could not be reached for comment by press time.

Dealing with abuse Public address announcers read a statement from the Colorado High School Activities Association that encourages proper ways to support the players and game officials.

Niehoff agreed during her video presentation.

“We need players, coaches, parents and other fans to be respectful to ensure that those individuals who are currently officiating continue to do so,” Niehoff said.

“Cheer positively for the studentathlete and not criticize the officials. The profession is tougher than we might think.”

Garza took it a step farther.

“Some officials need to be at the middle-school level. But we have such a shortage of officials,” he said. “Some just aren’t ready for the high school level. It’s tough offi-

ciating. And if you’re not prepared, it causes frustration among the spectators. Some can’t keep up with the pace. We need bodies to fill the void. But some aren’t working to be better at their craft.”

Weikle said his problem wasn’t with high-school fans and coaches.

His issue was with summer league organizations.

“CHSAA handles the coaches well,” he said. “The summer leagues and organizations treat the spectators and parents as clients.

And as they say, the customer is always right. If the organization comes down on a parent, they are going to say, ‘I’ll take my kid and play somewhere else.’ There is no support of umpires.”

Garza said an official’s demeanor can be a help to curb fan abuse. It can also add to it.

“If an official becomes frustrated at every word mentioned to them, it frustrates the fans, the coaches.

When the official gets rattled, options don’t exist,” he said. “It breaks my heart to see an unqualified official working at levels where he’s not qualified.”

Then there’s the matter of appearance.

“You get paid to do this,” Garza said. “Your presence speaks volumes to spectators. It’s just like being a coach. The kids come to practice every day because they want to be better,” Garza said.

Weikle parks his car as far away from the main parking area as he can, and he encourages his crew members to do the same thing.

“I don’t talk to spectators,” Weikle said. “Marc Johnson (the baseball coach at Cherry Creek High School) talks to me and does so with respect. I respect him. He and I are friends. If a coach comes on the field yelling at an umpire, that opens the door.”

Priorities Garza said some officials are using that profession to pay their bills. He knows of one official who works as many as eight games a day and works seven days a week.

“You need time off for your body to reset and for a better mindset,” Garza said. “The pay is worth extra money to spend on your family or on the gas to get you to a game. You don’t want to lose money. You want to be the best possible official you can be and make sure you’re not check-marking a game.”

“When I step on a field, I get paid as much as Joe Schmo who looks

like an unmade bed,” Weikle said.

“Those guys are asking for trouble.

It shows he wasn’t thinking about baseball until he walked on the field.

“I tell officials there are three things you can control .. the way you dress, your actions on the field and your hustle,” he continued. “If you do those three things, coaches will like you.”

Time was when sports had clearly defined seasons. These days, teams practice all year, particularly in warmer climates and their games need officials. Cities have various levels of youth and adult leagues, and those require officials, too. In some cases, umpires can make $75 per game from municipal leagues.

High-school umpires in Colorado don’t make that much. Some municipal officials make more than Garza makes as a teacher.

“No school can match that,” Garza said. “We still have good officials. We just don’t have enough to cover the amount of organizations that have games outside of the normal seasons.”

The next generation This spring, the head of the state’s soccer officials wanted to see more high-school players become officials.

“I want to encourage high-school players to become referees so they understand the rules of the game,” CHSSO President Ken Hehr told CHSAA’s soccer committee in March. “If they take the course, that helps the referees on the field because the players aren’t yelling about something they don’t know about. It’s a great way to educate the student-athlete and help us out.”

Weikle said it was a ‘fallacy” that someone needed to be a good athlete to be a good official.

“I was a horrible baseball player,” said Weikle, who umpired state championship baseball games during his time with CHSAA. “We recruited guys at summer tournaments. Many are at the top levels of high-school ball. Two (Cory Blazer, a Pomona High School graduate, and Chris Guccione, who worked the World Series two years ago) are in the majors. They did their umpiring with me.”

Laubert continued Hehr’s approach through Herd of Zebras.

“We’ve got accountability,” Laubert said in April. “We’ve never had to cancel or postpone a game.

We had a lot of issues about put-

ting new guys into the fire. I didn’t receive one complaint.”

In some cases, younger, less experienced officials have been recruited as emergency varsity-level replacements.

“I’ve got four kids at Mountain Range (Laubert is an assistant coach for the Mustangs’ football team). We gave them the training, and they did a phenomenal job,” Laubert said. “The coaches said they were the best refs they’d ever had. They can be a resource no one has tapped into. We’d like to find more kids like this. If you find the right high-school kid, he’ll impress you.”

“But if you don’t do this (training and recruiting) year after year, they lose enthusiasm,” Weikle said. “You need a dedicated group to keep hammering away and to be there year in and year out.”

Self-care needed Garza leaves his home for his teaching job at Riverdale Ridge at 6:45 in the morning when most of his family is asleep. If he’s officiating, he often won’t make it home until at least 8:30 p.m., when most of his family is asleep.

“I love doing it. I coached basketball for years, and I missed it,” Garza said. “As a former athlete and coach, it’s fun to walk into a gym. The band is playing. It makes my blood boil. It makes me want to be the best officials on the court that I can be.

“But understand. It messes with your mind. We need self-care.

Stress levels can steer you in the wrong direction.”

“Every person has a role to play to ensure the success of highschool sports,” Niehoff said. “We must work together to ensure the games continue to be available to the more than 8 million participants nationwide.”

“The way an official handles himself … You see little of that (fan abuse of game officials) happening,” Garza said.

In closing “I wanted to do a good job,” Weikle said. “I do it for the kids, yes. The kids are the beneficiaries of my work ethic. Guys my age (Weikle is 67)? No one is going to replace my generation when I retire.Guys who are in their 30s, 40s, 50s? There aren’t that many. It’s not going to be a problem in a year.

In five years, it’s going to be a huge problem.”

Balance is everything.

over the safety and well being of residents who have been historically disproportionately affected by pollution.”

Commission staff told the advocacy groups it was the first time in their knowledge of the commission’s history that petitioners had successfully forced such a reversal.

The commission staff will now set a schedule for formal reconsideration of the decision in 2022.

“This is a first for impacted environmental communities,” Colorado GreenLatinos director Ean Tafoya said. He called it “a huge step forward for our community,” and encouragement to community groups to “use every tool available in our collective pursuit for environmental liberation.”

Conservation Colorado water advocate Josh Kuhn said the decision confirms that “no river is beyond repair, and state policy should support that fact.

“Revisiting a bad decision that allowed industry to pollute our rivers is the right choice for our waterways and our communities — especially in North Denver where residents have been harmed by pollution for too long,” Kuhn said. “We urge the commission to listen to their own experts and improve protections for Clear Creek and the South Platte River.”

Colorado’s director of environmental health and protection, Shaun McGrath, invoked the justice directives of House Bill 1266 passed earlier this

year when recommending the commissioners accept the petition and revisit their 2020 decision.

“The department has really learned a lot about how to more properly engage environmental justice issues and to ensure that disproportionately impacted communities are considered when we’re proposing or considering rules and policies,” McGrath said.

Commissioner Jennifer Bock said it was important for the group to consider the “strong reaction” from community groups and conservationists over the past year and a half.

“It is probably not fun to go back and look at these issues again, but I think it’s our responsibility,” she said.

The reversal is the latest in a series of moves by advocacy groups to cite recent state legislation mandating environmental justice considerations when seeking specific change.

And regulators respond that they have studied and feel compelled by the same legislation.

In November, a coalition of advocacy groups pushed the Air Quality Control Commission to toughen their update of an EPA-required regional haze plan that can force cuts to industrial emissions for cleaner air in national parks and other wilderness sites. State staff had recommended the commission stay on a pre-set schedule of pollution cuts without adding a new layer of haze regulations.

But the conservation groups pointed to justice legislation in demanding more cuts for the Suncor refinery in Commerce City, which neighbors in north Denver say has long subjected their communities to health problems. The air commissioners

agreed, and put more restrictions on Suncor.

Justice and cultural concerns are also coming into play for Xcel Energy’s plans to criss-cross portions of Colorado with much-needed new transmission lines. Many advocacy groups want the transmission lines in order to link together clean energy farms and provide reliable energy, but the planned routes may also interfere with valuable cultural sites and other environmentally sensitive areas.

In the urban water decisions, the water quality commission made two choices in 2020 that launched an 18-month effort at reversal by the environmental and advocacy coalition.

The division staff and many outside government agencies and neighborhood groups wanted stronger protections for the much-maligned streams of Clear Creek, passing the Molson Coors beverage plant, and the South Platte River as it flows out of north Denver and through Commerce City.

Advocates for the rivers said plant life and wildlife could make a come-

back, and any industrial discharges into the water should face stiffer review.

Industrial users filed briefs arguing that the streams had little environmental value remaining and that they shouldn’t suffer regulation that would restrict their business.

Some commissioners on Monday said a debate over reversing their 2020 decisions on Clear Creek and the South Platte should be part of a larger discussion on the so-called “anti-degradation” rules affecting many stream segments. In the end, though, the commissioners decided unanimously to take on the petition’s demands as soon as possible in 2022.

“Communities have expressed their concern and desire to revisit these issues, and I think that they are ripe for discussion,” Bock said.

Holiday baking at high altitudes Bailey resident teaches how to adjust recipes for successful baking

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If your cakes fall and your cookies are hard when you bake at high altitude, you’re not alone.

In Bailey, Kathy Mastroianni has been teaching people how to adjust recipes for successful baking in the mountains for about eight years.

She asked the Canyon Courier not to divulge her secrets.

Mastroianni has been baking at high altitude for 28 years. When she first moved to Colorado years ago, she faced the harsh reality of not knowing how to bake at altitude.

An astrophysicist friend in the area taught her the science behind her baking woes, like how less air pressure puts less force on your baked goods, causing them to rise and expand more quickly. Mastroianni knew she needed to spread the knowledge with others, and she decided there was a need for lessons in baking at high altitude.

Her classes are all inclusive, with participants learning to adjust recipes for high altitude, learning tricks about different ingredients and how they react to altitude, and even getting to make a recipe with Mastroianni in her home that sits at

8,700 feet.

Mastroianni says people come to her discouraged that their recipes are not coming out like they remember them.

“I did a class at the Catholic church with these old ladies — I’m talking 70s, 80s, and they had their grandmas’ recipes,” she said.

At that class, she said she had a 100% success rate at adjusting those recipes for a tasty revival of family traditions.

At her holiday high altitude baking class on Dec. 4 at her home in Bailey, Mastroianni held a hybrid class, welcoming virtual and in-person participants.

Jennifer Snyder, who has lived in Bailey for 1.5 years, was excited to be able to make her family recipes again.

“My mom was a gourmet cook. I have a lot of old family recipes,” she said.

One participant, who joined from Zoom, was not even in Colorado.

Donna Mosher is currently living in North Carolina but has plans to move to Pagosa Springs soon.

Mosher is trying to get ahead of the move, so she can continue to successfully bake once she gets to a higher altitude. She has tried baking at higher altitudes before but struggled.

“It was tasty, but it just didn’t come out like it was supposed to,” Mosher said.

During the baking part of the class, Mastroianni talks the participants

through adjusting ingredients and encourages them to use their senses to judge if things are coming out right. She says you can use almost all of your senses while baking.

The recipe for Saturday’s class was eggnog cookies. After making the necessary adjustments, class members used their sense of smell to decide when the treats were done baking. Often, baking times can be different due to altitude.

Everyone in the class agreed that the cookies turned out great, and they were impressed at the adjustments they made to the recipe to achieve the perfect treat.

If you find yourself experiencing “fails” while baking at altitude, Mastroianni can help, and she offers continued support for recipes after

No. 1 Valor wins defensive battle against No. 9 Columbine

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LITTLETON — Columbine girls basketball coach Greg Bolding Jr. turned a loss into a big win Wednesday, Dec. 15.

Shortly after the No. 1-ranked Valor Christian took a 42-20 victory over the No. 9 Rebels, Bolding got on one knee to propose to girlfriend and Columbine’s L3 coach Kylie Morris.

The carefully orchestrated marriage proposal that included players for Columbine and Valor giving roses to Morris ended with a “yes.”

“It was important to do it in front of family,” Bolding said of his wedding proposal. “It worked out perfect.”

While Bolding got the win after Morris said yes under the spotlight at center court, it was the Eagles (4-1 record) that handed Columbine (4-1) its first loss of the season. The Rebels were coming off a big 3-0 run to win the Fairview Tournament last week.

It included a victory over another Class 5A Jeffco rival in Ralston Valley.

The 22-point loss for the Rebels against conference foe Valor was a bit of a reality check.

“It shows us what we need to work on for the coaches to the players,” Bolding said. “I was proud of us buying in defensively. It’s great we get to play them twice.”

Columbine hosts Valor again in league play in about five weeks on Jan. 21.

“I think sometimes especially earlier we are still trying to figure things out,” Valor coach Jessika Caldwell said after the Eagles’ lowest scoring output of the season. “You just have to win and sometimes that’s winning ugly. I’m really proud of our defensive effort.”

Neither team shot the ball well.

Valor finished 1-for-18 from 3-point range, but also held Columbine to single-digit points in every quarter.

The Rebels scored just a single point in the second quarter that resulted in Valor holding a 20-5 lead at halftime.

Columbine senior Jessica Bollwahn was the lone Rebel to get into double-digit points finishing with 11. Columbine was held to just seven made field goals on the night.

“We stressed a lot of defense this week. I felt like we really prepared defensively,” Bolding said. “Offensively we just couldn’t get into a rhythm. Shots just weren’t falling for us.”

Valor senior Raegan Beers was outscoring Columbine single-handedly for the majority of the night.

The Oregon State University signee finished with 19 points to hit right on her scoring average on the season so far.

“I think Raegan is such a unique player,” Caldwell said of her senior last missed all of her junior season after knee surgery to repair a torn ACL. “She is such a great teammate.

She knows what she has to do for her team to be successful.”

Despite not having Beers on the

court last season, the Eagles went 17-0 in claiming the 5A state championship.

“It is so great,” Beers said of being back contributing. “It’s the best feeling to be back out here with Coach Jess and my teammates again. It’s a thrill.”

Beers ran a little point-center at times against Columbine, showing her multiple skills besides dominating the paint with her 6-foot-3 frame.

With her missing all of the last season there are only a few teammates that have played much with Beers.

“We have lots of young ones who are doing a great job of stepping up,” Beers said of the young Eagles that included freshman Quinn VanSickle coming off the bench to score 8 points Wednesday. “They are learning how to play with me and I’m learning to play with them. Most of them I haven’t played with them before.”

Valor and Columbine will now pack their bags as both teams head to the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix. The national tournament runs Dec. 17-21.

“We’ll play four games and I know we are in a tough bracket,” Caldwell said of the Nike tournament. “We’ve got some good competition coming our way.”

It won’t be until mid-January until the 5A Jeffco League play begins for Valor and Columbine.

“Our ultimate goal is state,” Beers said. “We aren’t at our best right now because we are young and learning.

I just want to see growth throughout the season.”

Super-food trucks

King-Murphy first grader Abigail Lloyd waits for customers to come to her food truck, where she was selling gingerbread unicorns and unicorn sprinkle brownies.

King-Murphy’s first graders learn about entrepreneurship, helping others

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

King-Murphy’s first graders have proved they are chefs, entrepreneurs and philanthropists as part of a fun unit on, of all things, economics.

They created food trucks of sorts, sold goods to students and staff, then used the proceeds from sales to purchase Christmas gifts for children on the school’s giving tree. In a very hands-on way, the students learned about buying and selling, counting money and understanding owning a business.

Students kept some of the profits to defray the cost of making the goods, and they took the net proceeds — about $500 — to the Evergreen Walmart to buy gifts for infants, children and teenagers.

The entire project was a win for the first graders, a win for students and staff who bought items at the food trucks and a win for the families whose children will receive gifts for Christmas.

Teacher Kristen Betts decided to try something different to get the youngsters to understand economics concepts, and the food-truck project was born. The students decorated the food trucks made out of boxes, decided what they wanted to sell, and then sold cookies, soups, candies and more to everyone in the school. Everything cost $1, and students do the math to provide change.

First grader Lydia Didier with the help of her dad, Chris, sold a chicken soup that Lydia called really yummy. Chris said he liked the hands-on way the first graders were learning about money, and buying and selling items. He also hoped there was some soup left after the food-truck sales were over.

First grader Victoria Van Volkin-

burg made “The Best Sugar Cookies” with her mom, and she was thrilled with the number of customers who came to her food truck.

Beck’s Best Bakery, operated by first grader Beck Dunbar, sold a sweet treat made of Rollo candy, pretzels and M&Ms. Beck said he made them to sell because they’re one of his favorites. He explained that the $1 price was good because you wouldn’t want to charge $93 since no one would buy the items the food trucks were selling.

Jordan Dunbar, Beck’s mom, said Beck talked about the project for weeks, so excited about what he was learning and doing. She was amazed that students as young as first graders understood the concepts of buying and selling, profit and loss.

Nora Brough said she sold out of her mini pies really fast, while Cam Marinas said his soup, which was something most students had not tried before, was a bit more difficult to sell.

Lily Bourassa said she got a lot of practice counting money, and Corwin Lauritsen said the dollar bills filled up his entire basket.

First graders Abigail Lloyd, Wyatt Butler and Kendrick Crawford also took part in the food truck challenge.

At the Dec. 7 shopping excursion to Walmart, students said they originally wanted to buy for themselves but then realized they were buying gifts for others, especially those in need. Jett Hinshaw selected something for a teen boy, which Grace Eichhorst purchased clothes.

They agreed that it made them feel good to help other children.

Andrew Wolff, the district’s student futures navigator, called the food truck unit a great way to get kids up and moving, building something and being involved in learning. Plus parents got involved by helping the students make food to sell.

“As educators, we are truly challenged to tap a part of (students’) minds and creativity,” Wolff said.

“We aspire to do that in our classrooms.”

Wheat Ridge approves agreement for more youth events

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fun events designed to foster safe and constructive youth socialization, improve mental health, reduce substance misuse and promote healthy activities will be coming to Wheat Ridge in the near future.

Resolution 57-2021, approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) for hosting youth community events, was unanimously passed by Wheat Ridge City Council during the Dec. 13 regular meeting.

The IGA will outline the relationship between the City of Wheat Ridge and JCPH in offering up to six free teen events each year. It also will detail specifics around hosting, promotion, compensation, equipment and food for the events. In addition, the resolution calls for three youth interns to be hired to assist in promoting and hosting activities at each event. As part of the agreement, event venues — most likely Wheat Ridge recreation centers, will be provided by the City of Wheat Ridge throughout the year and JCPH will compensate the City $1,000 for each event hosted in compliance with the IGA. The Events will take place once per month on a Saturday night, beginning at or before 7:30 p.m. and ending no earlier than 11:30 p.m. or thirty minutes before any curfew in place on the day of the

event, whichever is earlier. The events will offer free admission to at least 75 teens.

At this point, no date for the first event has been determined, but according to the resolution, events will take place between the completion of the agreement and June 30, 2022.

As part of the agreement, Wheat Ridge will provide at least four activities or forms of entertainment for the attendees throughout the duration of the event. Activities could include music, movies, swimming, dodgeball, Ping-Pong, card tables, video games or craft projects, to name a few. The City will provide snacks and drinks to teens attending, free of charge.

Wheat Ridge also will handle logistics like registration / signin, permission slips and parental waivers, audio / visual gear, safety equipment and chaperones experienced in working with teens.

The resolution came about when staff members within the City’s Parks & Recreation Department started serving as part of the Jefferson County Communities That Care Coalition (CTC), a group of approximately 100 stakeholders, community members, key leaders and youth.

Since CTC is housed within JCPH, the IGA became necessary.

Forty-seven communities across Colorado are being funded by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Communities That Care initiative to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors among youth.

This is a five-year grant from 2016 to 2021 and is funded by marijuana tax dollars. Jefferson County is projected to receive over $1.3 million in funding over five years for this project.

One-woman show for Evergreen artist Maria Valentia Sheets’ stained glass to be displayed in Lakewood starting Dec. 15

and then eventually took a class.

Now, her work is featured in many churches and buildings that will stand for years to come.

“I think stained glass offered me a challenge and a refresher careerwise,” Sheets said.

Sheets’ work has been featured in Stained Glass Magazine, and she recently designed a window for the Historic Vernon A.M.E. Church in Tulsa memorializing a violent race massacre that took place in 1921.

Misty Keasler, a fellow visual artist and friend for nearly two decades, appreciates all the artistic endeavors Sheets has made over the years.

“She’s such a fascinating person to know. Anything she gets interested in she becomes a master at,” Keasler said.

Even though Keasler’s medium is photography, she still recognizes the skill that Sheets brings to the table.

“She is by far one of the most talented people I’ve ever met,” Keasler said.

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Sinners, Saints and Fools,” a solo exhibition of kiln-fired, painted stained glass by Evergreen artist Maria Valentina Sheets will be at Valkarie Gallery in Lakewood from until Jan. 9.

Sheets of Evergreen will feature mostly portrait work, with all works being backlit in the gallery.

The works range from five to 50 pounds.

“I’ve got approximately 20 pieces in it — pretty significant, pretty detailed,” she said.

One of her pieces is titled “The Void” and is a commentary on fame. The piece is meant to push people to “think about who you’re defending if you can’t recognize them,” Sheets said.

An excerpt from the description of Sheet’s exhibit describes it this way: “In the exhibit, `Sinners, Saints and Fools’ … artist Maria Valentina Sheets pushes the once traditional medium of iconographic, kiln-fired, stainedglass panel portraiture towards a contemporary homage by placing

Maria Sheets works in her studio for her upcoming exhibition in Lakewood.

PHOTO PROVIDED BY MISTY KEASLER/REDUX PICTURES

characters amidst the symbolic, often chaotic, detritus of modern environments.”

Sheets, an artist and conservator, has experience working with high volume and high profile art collections. From being a contract conservator at The Museum

of Biblical Art in Dallas after a devastating fire to working with the personal collections of George Bush, Sheets has had many unique experiences throughout her career.

Dipping into the world of stained glass in 2006, Sheets began to dabble with the art on her own

WANT TO GO? Evergreen artist Maria Valentina Sheets’ solo exhibition will be displayed until Jan. 9 at Valkarie Gallery, 445 S. Saulsbury St., Lakewood. The gallery is open from 4-7 p.m. Wednesdays, 4-9:30 p.m. Thursdays, 4-8:30 p.m. Fridays, noon-6 p.m. Saturdays and noon-5 p.m.

Jeffco School Board votes yes on new Arvada Aquatics Complex Final vote clears the way for partnership to replace Meyers Pool.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During its Dec. 9 regular meeting, the Jefferson County Board of Education voted to approve operative documents to complete the partnership with Apex Parks and Recreation District and the City of Arvada to replace the aging Meyers Pool.

Before the vote was taken, new Board President Stephanie Schooley, recapped work that had been done regarding the agreement, saying on Nov. 4, the previous Board (prior to newly elected members being seated) approved the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Arvada, Apex and Jeffco Public Schools (JPS), regarding the Northwest Aquatics Complex project, and the loan terms to support the IGA and finance construction. She said on Oct. 20, the Board directed JPS staff to finalize the IGA with bids for the project’s financing and report on the loan for the project.

“The partnership agreement provides for Jeffco Public Schools and the City of Arvada to jointly finance construction of the aquatics complex with Apex providing ongoing management and operations at the site,” Schooley said. “The George J. Meyers Swimming Center, the Meyers pool owned by the City of Arvada and operated by the Apex Park and Recreation District, is almost 50-years-old and in need of replacement.

A plan has been developed to keep the pool in operation until a new pool opens. The estimated end of the pool’s useful life is 2023.”

Steve Bell, Chief Operating Officer, Jeffco Schools, said the vote would be the culmination of what had been discussed in November, following the award of the loan package to Glacier Bank, as the single lender on the transaction, based on the terms and conditions of their bid.

“We’ve been talking about this for quite some time,” Bell said. “We think we have a very valueadded asset for our community on a very unique borrowing structure. We have two parties — with the school district and the City (of Arvada) that are partnering on the financing, with a third partner, Apex Parks and Rec. District, which will provide for the operation and maintenance of the facility.”

Bell said an Arvada Council member, at the time the City passed their resolution, made a comment that he thought (the partnership) was decades ahead of the rest of the country with this type of (ownership) structure.

New board member Paula Reed read the resolution as written to the Board: “Resolution of the Jefferson County School District No. R1, Jefferson and Broomfield Coun-

ties, Colorado, approving a lease purchase financing to provide funds for the construction of a replacement aquatics center on the site of the Meyers Pool, authorizing and approving the lease purchase agreement and other documentation in connection with the cooperative financing with the City of Arvada and providing other details, perimeters and authorization in connection with lease purchase financing,” the resolution said.

Before the vote, while discussion of the matter was still taking place, board member Susan Miller asked Bell to clarify details of the deal including duration of the partnership and percentage of financing the District would be responsible for. He said the term of the deal would be 20 years and Jeffco Schools would be an equity owner, which among other things, meant Jeffco students would not pay fees to the facility for as long as the agreement continued.

“Now, at the end of the 20-year term, when the financing is paid, it is possible that maybe we’d make a decision to do something different, but that’s not in the document as it exists,” Bell said, stressing that after 20 years, the District would still own 50% of the Complex.

After the three newest board members, Mary Parker, Danielle Varda and Paula Reed, each commented with enthusiasm about the project, Miller gave an impassioned plea to reconsider committing $22 million to the project, saying the District had greater needs that would be more impactful to students, referencing schools like Molholm and Vivian Elementary, Title 1 schools

that have many long-standing needs.

“We are setting a precedent,” Miller said. “I want it to be very clear that when we do this, we are setting a precedent that Foothills and Wheat Ridge and Golden and Evergreen and Carmody could come and say ‘hey! — we want to do this as well. And we want the same type of structure that you’re building for Arvada for those five high schools. We want that for our community.’”

Miller acknowledged that the decision to fund the pool had already been set in motion, but said there was precedent for overturning decisions made by previous boards. Bell clarified that the District (via the previous Board) had already awarded the sale of the transaction to an institutional lender.

“This money should be going for the purpose of our competency of teaching our children and should be providing opportunities for our kiddos,” she said.

Bell said upending the transaction would likely cause issues with the City of Arvada, the lender and would jeopardize the project.

He called the matter an issue of organizational integrity saying, in his opinion, the current Board should honor the commitment made by previous Board members.

For her part, Jeffco Schools Superintendent Tracy Dorland said there were aquatics needs in the district’s northern corridor that would need to be dealt with regardless of the vote. The resolution passed with only Miller voting no.
