Peter Robert Dettmer, 69, is back in custody after evading capture for years.

Dettmer was arrested on 126 counts of sexual assault in 2016, but failed to appear at a hearing in January, 2021. The charges he’s facing include 63 counts of Sexual Assault — Victim Helpless, 62 counts of Sexual Assault — Victim Incapable and one count of Sexual Assault — Victim Incapable due to Force/Drugs/Other.

According to court records in the case, Dettmer originally posted a $2,000 bond and was released. After failing to appear for his 2017 hearing, his bond was increased to $20,000. After his extradition was arranged this year, a judge set his bond at $1 million — cash only.

Arrested, April 27 in Cuenca, Ecuador, Dettmer was returned to the U.S. Nov. 23.

In a press release, Colorado First Judicial District Spokesman Michael Teague said Dettmer’s extradition was carried out by the FBI with assistance from the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs and the U.S. Department of State.

Teague’s statement also said his office would not be releasing additional information or commenting further until the case is closed.

Dettmer is only the second person extradited from Ecuador to the United States in the past 27 years.

Laptops on loan to assist in employment searches Library partnership brings modern tech and new opportunities to Jeffco job-seekers.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s definitely not your grandpa’s library anymore.

You can still check out your literary favorites, but the march of time, which has seen offerings like audio books, videos, compact discs and DVDs appear on library shelves in the past, has taken

another significant leap forward — in Jeffco, anyway.

Chromebook laptops can now be checked out by library patrons to assist with job searches.

According to its website, Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) has partnered with the Jefferson County Business and Workforce Center (JCBW) to make it possible.

“These laptops will be available to Jefferson County residents starting in November. You can reserve them by speaking with Library staff or using the JCPL online catalog,” the County’s announcement said.

Chromebooks can be checked out for a period of 60 days. The

due date will not be renewable.

According to JCPL, Chromebooks have built-in WiFi/data for an internet connection wherever you are. The laptops allow you to create resumes and cover letters, explore other job aid tools and conduct online interviews. Along with the laptop, users also will receive a power cord, mouse, quickstart sheet and a bag.

The county’s announcement of the new resource said the Chromebook program is part of JCPL’s commitment to meeting the needs of all community members.

“Remote work has changed the way people think about when and how they want to work, leading to more and more employees across

the United States either being displaced from their jobs or voluntarily resigning from their positions in order to look for better employment,” the announcement said, citing an April 2021 report from the U.S. Labor Department that said a record 4 million Americans quit their job that month.

If you’re ready to reserve a Chromebook to assist in finding your next career opportunity, visit jeffcolibrary.bibliocommons.com or your local branch to start the process.

Jeffco residents also can get help learning how to use the devices through JCPL’s Jobs and Careers Featured Guide by visiting jeffcolibrary.org/job-help/.

Come Visit Us at Our New Downtown Golden Office, 1214 Washington Ave. The broker associates at Golden Real Estate and I are truly excited about our new office in the heart of downtown Golden. It has been over 14 years since we launched Golden Real Estate in the former restaurant building at 17695 S. Golden Road. We would have liked to be in downtown Golden, but we needed a place to park our free moving truck where it could be seen by passersby as our “billboard on wheels.”

When Rita and I bought that building, I was a broker associate at RE/MAX Alliance, and I wanted it to be a satellite office for that brokerage, but RE/MAX International wouldn’t allow us to display a RE/MAX sign because of the other franchises in the area. I liked the building more than the brand, however, so that’s when I

decided to create Golden Real Estate, securing the corporate name and the URL www.GoldenRealEstate.com for our website. And, as they say, “the rest is history.”

A downtown storefront has the advantage of more walk-by and walk-in traffic. Before signing the lease on our storefront, I checked the transaction volume of the other real estate brokerage on the street and discovered that their ratio of buyer sides to listing sides was 2:1, whereas our ratio on S. Golden Road was 1:2. We look forward to increasing our buyer representation in our new location.

The left half of the picture at right is a visualization of the TouchPoint Systems display that will be installed shortly. It is a through-the-glass touchscreen unit which allows passersby to search the

MLS real-time, featuring Golden and Jefferson County listings in a slide-show format when not being actively used.

The closest similar installation is in the window of an Olde Town Arvada brokerage.

Sharing our office is Wendy Renee, a loan officer with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation. Would-be buyers will appreciate being able to meet with a lender in conjunction with their home search without leaving our office.

Although we can’t park it downtown, we’ll still be offering our free moving truck to buyers and sellers and to local non-profits such as BGoldN, the Christian Action Guild, and the Golden Chamber of Commerce, of which we’re a long-time member. It will still be parked at our former office on South Golden Road, which Rita and I still own, and which we’re converting into a onestop shop for “all things sustainable” under the name The Net Zero Store.

Several readers, upon learning of our move downtown, called me last week to ask if we’re still accepting Styrofoam for recycling. I assured them that nothing has changed in that regard. As a matter of fact, we took a truckload of the material to the recycling center just this week

and expect to continue doing so twice a month from the “Styrofoam Corral” behind our former office, At left is a reminder of what makes Golden Real Estate different from other brokerages, in addition to the free moving truck.

Aside from this column, which I have been publishing on page 3 of this newspaper for over a decade, we are best known, perhaps, for the live-action narrated video tours and drone videos which we create for each of our listings. I enjoy creating the narrated videos so much, I offer to do them for our broker associates, although some of them choose to do their own. They are so effective that we have sold listings to out-of-town buyers who only saw the home in-person when they flew in for the inspection.

For out-of-town buyers interested in homes listed by other brokerages, we have shot video tours for their eyes only, often resulting in a signed contract without those buyers seeing the home in person prior to inspection.

For sellers, we provide a free staging consultation to help their home show its best. We also have an in-house handyman to work on those things that need to be handled before going on the market.

Warder Elementary hosts second annual Holiday Craft Fair Event showcasing community and alumni goods returns after COVIDinduced hiatus

BY RYAN DUNN AND ERIN MCGOVERN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Crafts of all kinds filled the gymnasium at Warder Elementary School on Dec. 4, signaling the beginning of the holiday season and the return of Warder’s Holiday Craft Fair. After going on hiatus last year after starting up in 2019, 38 vendors returned to the school to showcase their handmade holiday goods.

While many of the vendors are students, alumni, teachers and families at Warder, others are community members looking to connect with other makers and patrons in town. Knitted hats, Christmas ornaments, woodworking projects and homemade dog treats were just a few of the items available at the fair.

Kim Fulcomer, Warder’s librarian, said she planned the event with the help of the school’s parent-teacher association as a way to bring the school community together with neighbors from the surrounding area.

“We just started it as a community event. We don’t run it as a fundraiser, so nothing comes back to the school. We do charge a table fee

So just somewhere for vendors and crafters to come in,” Fulcomer said.

While the school does not take in profits from the event, a donation box to Community Table was open during the fair.

Warder Principal Matt Hibbert praised the event as an extension of the school’s core value of community.

“Our school is so much about community. This event is something out PTA and Kim masterminded to bring families together with the

community,” Hibbert said. “It feels good — this school year as a whole, it’s felt good to bring the community back.”

Karen O’Leary was a teacher at Warder for 20 years and now works as a substitute and said she appreciates the event because it allows her to connect with past and current students and co-workers. O’Leary had a table featuring her acrylic paintings, a hobby she said she got into during COVID. “I love it. I know all the kids and all the teachers, and I’ve seen so

many of the kids and teachers,” O’Leary said.

One community member and local student who attended the fair was Peyton, a freshman at Ralston Valley High School who sells homemade dog treats with her mother, Tiffany.

“Peyton’s Pup Treats” started began in 2019 after Peyton was nominated as one of 80 students in Jefferson County to take part in an EF Educational Tour to Italy. The dog treats started off as a way to fundraise money to send Peyton to Italy, and has continued apace for the past two years, as the trip has been continually pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mines Academy signing event fuels excitement in STEM students New program offers transfer pathway to elite university

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Qualified Red Rocks Community College (RRCC) students who want to transfer to the Colorado School of Mines in pursuit of a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) bachelor’s degree, will soon have a more direct route to achieving their goal.

On Tuesday, Nov. 30, Chancellor Joe Garcia of the Colorado Community College System, President Paul C. Johnson of Colorado School of Mines and President Michele Haney of Red Rocks Community College signed an official memorandum of understanding to create Mines Academy, a new transfer pathway that will support diverse nontraditional and traditional community college students with guaranteed admission into any four-year degree program at Mines.

For years, students have been transferring from RRCC to Mines, but according to Garcia, the new pathway will ensure more students will transfer successfully.

He said Mines Academy students will also have access to Mines student support services and campus events — before they

transfer to the university — making the transition smoother for incoming students.

Ben McDill, 30, is one of those nontraditional RRCC students who plans to participate in the Mines Academy. McDill said he spent more than a decade working in the service industry before deciding a career change was in order.

“With poor performance in high school, I wasn’t really in the position to get admitted into a school like Mines, that has such a good reputation,” he said. “Red Rocks is giving me the opportunity to build credibility as an adult and get back into the academic scene.”

McDill said he knew engineering was his calling, and he was trying to choose between CU Boulder and Mines, but after seeing the RRCC partnership with Mines and watching several acquaintances have success in transferring there, he realized Mines would be a great place to continue his education.

Mines President Paul C. Johnson, spoke enthusiastically about the program, saying it will provide more certainty in the transfer process. He said he was looking forward to the day when Mines Academy students would cross the stage at graduation, accomplishing a dream.

“All of the students I’ve gotten to know who’ve come to Mines from Red Rocks — they’ve just been wonderful and amazing,” he said.

“I’ve had a great time getting to

know them. They really do appreciate the opportunity and they do have dreams. And making that dream a reality is one of the best things that we can all do.”

An application for Mines Academy will be posted on the RRCC website this spring. Mines Academy will officially begin in Fall 2022.

Dave’s Locker continues to thrive under new leadership Fire Department’s free medical equipment service gets remodel, new managers after founder retires

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Medical supplies don’t come cheap, as Don and Theresa Lindsey are well aware. The husband and wife operate Dave’s Locker — a free medical equipment service run by the Arvada Fire Protection District, which was

founded in 2017 by now-retired AFPD Lieutenant Dave Matus.

When Matus retired last year, the Lindseys were the natural choice to take the reins at the Locker — Don, an AFPD firefighter, and Theresa, an ICU nurse, had filled in for Matus periodically when he’d gone on vacation. They took over Dave’s Locker in Feb. 2020 - just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Don added that the Locker was shut down for three months because of the pandemic. During that time, the Lindseys got to work cleaning the facility and organizing the medical equipment they had in stock.

Dave’s Locker is completely dependent on donations.

When someone has medical equipment that they no longer need such as hospital beds, knee scooters, walkers, wheelchairs and more, they can donate it to the Locker. Then, folks can come to the Locker and request the equipment they need completely free of charge, usually for an initial three-month period.

The locker sees about 200 customers per month, according to Don, and is staffed by 19 volunteers — not counting the Lindseys and Dave’s Locker mascot Radar the bloodhound.

Customers usually come from Arvada and the surrounding Denver metro area, but word has gotten out even farther, according to Don. “I know for a fact I have stuff in Wyoming, New Mexico — I actually have stuff in Mexico, and the reason for that being it’s a hospital bed that ended up going to Mexico with this

customer of ours,” Don said. “They told me up front that he’s here for surgery but then going back to Mexico. I said, ‘Absolutely he can take the bed, it’s what he needs.’”

Theresa said that when supply has struggled to keep up with demand, she’s turned to social media, where she’s been working to improve Dave’s Locker’s outreach and presence.

“The very first time we posted on Facebook, someone bought a knee scooter on Amazon and had it shipped here,” said Theresa. “We’re low on walkers and wheelchairs (now).”

The Lindseys said they enjoy the work and being able to give back to the community. Theresa said that Metus, the Locker’s founder comes in every once and while.

“We see a lot of things and a lot of people who can’t do things for themselves or be able to have something that’s safe,” Theresa said. “We feel like it’s a calling.”

Don recently gave the Locker (which used to be a dentist office) a facelift by painting the facility, building new storage racks and removing a doorway that hindered accessibility. Don also painted a thin red line that runs along the storage room shelves— a symbol of solidary with firefighters.

“It’s not 100% complete,” Don said of the renovations. “I’m getting ready to install a countertop this week. We moved all the stuff out on Sept. 11.

A bunch of volunteers came in and helped me unload, and we worked out of pods for a month.”

Don added that it’s been rewarding.

“We see a lot of people that need this equipment and some of them just can’t afford to go buy it. We do get a lot of people that come borrow our stuff and they’re like, `You have no idea how much money you’ve saved me,’” he said. “And my wife and I laugh and say, `You know, we kind of do.’”

Some folks who experienced the challenges of affording medical equipment firsthand have since volunteered their time at the Locker to help others.

“We saw it in the Arvada Report that they were looking for volunteers.

We have had experience with the expense of renting equipment and thought it was a great opportunity to help people save a lot of money and get what they need,” said Dave Floyd, who has volunteered at Dave’s Locker since Jan. 2020.

“There’s a lot of times where people come in with a little list and walk out with half the stuff on the list. It’s nice to see them smile because they’ve had a better day because they got the equipment they need,” Don said.

PICK-UPS AND DONATIONS: Dave’s Locker is open for pick-ups and donations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and the first and third Saturdays of the month.

Secret Santas needed to help Golden teens and families

BY JOY BAUMAN FOR PROJECT STAR

When typical teenagers go to school each weekday, chances are they don’t even think about having enough food to eat or wonder where they will sleep that night. And they probably don’t worry about having warm clothing or shoes for winter weather. But for 33 students attending Golden High School (GHS), these are serious issues, and ones they face every day.

These young adults are homeless, and many are unaccompanied minors. That means home is a temporary night’s stay sleeping on a friend’s couch or in their car. That means they don’t know where or when their next meal is coming. That means they don’t have a warm coat, hat or gloves to guard against the cold.

That’s why Project STAR (Supporting Teens At Risk) and Need for Clean — two projects designed to address our community’s teen homeless issue — are hoping Golden-area residents will sign on as Secret Santas this December. New this year, local residents can also offer to “adopt” or sponsor an entire family during the winter holidays through the Christian Action Guild (CAG).

“Unaccompanied minors, homelessness and families struggling financially are a real issue here at Golden High School, as well as with so many other schools in Jefferson County and throughout the state,” points out Adam Mitchell, the school’s student engagement and family liaison. “In addition to these families, we also have hundreds of students registered for Jeffco’s Free and Reduced Lunch program to help cover fees as well as provide meals during the school day.”

At this special time of year, the need for help is always at its greatest, and

to make some treats for her dog, Gus. “When Gus was a pup, I made him some treats… I think it’s a really unique way to fundraise. I mean, obviously people love their dogs, and it’s kind of a neat way to give back to them,” Peyton said.

Tiffany said that the endeavor helps Peyton practice business and interpersonal skills and added that Warder has supported Peyton’s Pup Treats since the mother-daughter pair held a table at the inaugural

we’re making assistance easy both for the Secret Santas and students in need. In order to support a struggling high school student, donors can purchase gift cards and then mail or deliver them directly to GHS. If you want to support an entire local family, CAG will match you with a family in need and create a wish list of their holiday needs.

This will be the third year for the Secret Santa appeal that was launched in 2019. In that time more than 100 GHS students have received gift cards to help with food, gas, clothing, entertainment, personal hygiene items and school supplies. The campaign has also provided gift cards and gift items for the students’ families.

Last year, the Secret Santa initiative raised more than $22,000 in gift cards.

In 2021, this effort is also being supported by the GHS Alumni Association.

Participating high school students are identified by GHS counselors, and to protect student privacy, they remain anonymous to donors and their peers. School staff and teachers manage distribution of the gift cards, ensuring that teens in greatest need receive the most support. The most popular gift cards are ones that can be used at Walmart, King Soopers, Safeway and Target.

To become one of this year’s Secret Santas, please mail or deliver gift cards to Attn. Adam Mitchell, Golden High School,701 24th St, Golden, CO 80401,by Monday, December 20. For more information, contact Adam Mitchell at303-982-4172 or amitchell@ jeffcoschools.us.

“It’s pushing (Peyton) a bit out of her comfort zone, and we’re trying to make a lot of life lessons out of it,” Tiffany said. “(Warder) was very helpful to us, very welcoming. They actually gave her a discount on the entrance fee because it’s a student run business.”

Fulcomer said she was glad to have the event back after the layoff.

“It’s super exciting and all the vendors are excited. It’s just exciting to have some normalcy. Everybody’s going to be masked, and everybody’s willing to do that. People are super excited to get back in here, to do it again,” Fulcomer said.

Saving young lives in Jeffco and beyond Nonprofit tackles state’s leading cause of death for youth, providing mental health services to those in need

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During the 2001-02 school year, four students at Green Mountain High School took their own lives within a nine-month timespan.

A sense of loss reverberated through the community, leaving an indelible mark and inspiring three members of a nearby church to find a way to help.

Marjorie Laird, Jeff Lamontagne, Scott Fletcher and the rest of Green Mountain Presbyterian Church organized a community walk/run, raising a small amount of money to aid Green Mountain students in need of counseling.

But the modest fundraising event, attended by 66 people in 2002, wasn’t the end of the story. It led to the creation of the Second Wind Fund Program, a nonprofit that’s been raising money to pay for counseling sessions for youth at risk for suicide.

Shortly after its inception, other Jeffco schools became aware of the program, and by 2009, it re-

ceived a grant to expand services across the state.

Chris Weiss, executive director of the Second Wind Fund, said that although the group operates across the state, Jeffco is near and dear to the heart of the organization.

“It’s where we started and where we continue to provide a high number of services,” he said.

“Our program and mission are very simple. We provide expedited access to potentially life-saving therapy to youth 19-and-under who are at risk for suicide.”

Weiss said the majority of the time, the youth or family in need are facing some type of barrier, either financial or social, and all it takes is an online form to be filled out by a qualified referral source — a school counselor or mental health professional — and within the hour, a referral specialist will get back to them with an approval for a referral for the youth to see a therapist in their community, for up to 12 sessions, at no cost.

Sometimes the therapist will even travel to the school for the session to reduce travel burdens on families with limited resources.

“The reason we’re able to do what we do is because of the (more than) 200 therapists on our roster who are willing to see the youth in a relatively quick period of time,” Weiss said. “When they (the therapists) know the referral is from Second Wind Fund,

they make the time to put them on their calendar because they know their services are needed, and doing it quickly is crucial.”

Weiss said Second Wind Fund also provides navigational assistance to families who can afford their own treatment plan, providing a roadmap of how to better understand their insurance or other resources they can tap into in their community. Those resources, he said, can include a community mental health center or an authorized list of referrals on their insurance website, to name just a few.

As a nonprofit with very little reliance on state, federal or local funding, and a diversified revenue stream with a heavy emphasis on private fundraising, Weiss says Second Wind Fund hopes to be around a very long time.

Even the pandemic didn’t create a noticeable decline in donations.

Weiss says he’s grateful funding has stayed strong. He thinks it’s because people understand how important mental health is.

“I’m sure a couple of years from now we’ll look back on this and say how important this time was, particularly when it comes to starting and having conversations around mental health,” he said.

“Our budget has actually grown quite a bit which allows us to offer more potentially life-saving services — better services — to a lot of youth who are in desperate need.”

Weiss said Second Wind Fund currently operates in 30 counties across the state and is now in the process of moving forward with a plan that will utilize regional employees on the western slope, providing services to Grand Junction, Mesa and LaPlata Counties.

He said being on the ground and becoming part of the community will allow Second Wind Fund to help everywhere there’s need.

Unfortunately, right now, demand for services is growing and qualified therapists are harder to come by. To add context to the

numbers, in 2003, the Second Wind Fund received its first referral (to pay for therapy sessions). In 201819, the group had a record-setting year, receiving 762 referrals, providing access to more than 3,000 therapy sessions for at-risk youth in Colorado.

To that end, Weiss says his organization is always willing to talk with qualified therapists with expertise working with youth or those at risk for suicide, it they’d like to get involved with the program.

Diversity and inclusion are areas Second Wind Fund cares deeply about, Weiss said.

Over 30% of Second Wind Fund’s clients are from Hispanic backgrounds, so there are some therapists on the roster who are bilingual, Weiss said. He added that there also is money in the budget that pays for translation services when needed, as well as having MOU’s (Memorandum of Understanding) with community mental health centers in order to tap into adjacent staff to make sure that if a youth needs to work with a therapist who speaks Spanish, it can be set up.

“We know that therapy works. If you can get a youth or a child into therapy, we know that suicidal ideations generally reduce over the course of treatment,” Weiss said. “We have close to 20 years of data that backs that up.”

Q&A: Cary Johnson, expert on shopping safe this holiday season JeffCo DA’s Office crime prevention director gives fraud prevention tips for seniors

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cary Johnson doesn’t want to alarm anyone. He does, however, want to keep older adults safe from identity theft and credit card fraud this holiday season — a time of year when crooks are on high alert, he said.

Johnson has spent the last 20 years working as a crime prevention specialist — the last 15 of which have been with the First Judicial District Attorney’s office, where Johnson serves as the director of crime prevention.

Each month, Johnson gives a presentation on crime prevention to a group of around 70-75 seniors as part of the JeffCo TRIAD program, which aims to build community between senior community members and the DA’s office.

Johnson said he wants to make sure folks are safe from being victimized by fraudsters, especially this time of year.

“The holidays are supposed to be happy, and (when) someone finds out there’s $5,000 on their credit card, it kind of puts a damper on things,” Johnson said.

Johnson added that he doesn’t want older adults to panic, but does want them aware that they need to be extra cautious when shopping around the holidays.

“I don’t want people to be paranoid, I don’t want them to think there’s a crook under every rock, but I want to heighten vigilance, especially during the holiday season, because crooks really are out there and active at this time,” he said.

To learn more about how older adults can stay safe this holiday season, the Arvada Press sat down with Johnson to find out what threats folks should be on the lookout for and what to do if they find themselves on the receiving end of a scam.

Their conversation has been edited slightly for clarity.

What are the biggest threats that seniors should be aware of when shopping this holiday season?

I think there are a couple of things. First of all, seniors have a target on their backs, there’s no doubt about that. They’re the ones that the ID thieves are really focusing on.

One of the real concerns is older adults wandering around the parking lot with packages, with purses, without a sense of what’s going on around them. Because oftentimes, for crooks, (the parking lot is) the best place for them to hang out.

Probably the number one thing that happens to (older adults) is that they’re just used to giving out their credit card, and these crooks have a little palm skimmer that only takes them one slide to get all the information off a credit card.

And so, if they can find some means, some method of handling their credit card for even a short time, they can use this palm skimmer, slide the card through and either make a duplicate card or start using it online.

The most popular places to do that are restaurants, and older adults don’t even think twice about handing their credit card off for 15-20 minutes to a stranger, but sometimes when it’s busiest at the holiday season it can be a clerk that brings their credit card to another check out station because it’s busy where they’re working.

If they get home, find out there are fraudulent charges, but they still have their credit card, that is a sure sign that their card has been skimmed.

What can older adults do to avoid being the victim of fraud or theft?

They’ve got to stop writing checks. All a crook needs is a routing number, their account number once. They buy blank check stock, they make their own checks, they make a fake license, and empty out the older person’s bank account and they think they’re perfectly fine. They need to know that checks are an obsolete financial tool in today’s world.

People should carry a minimum amount of personal financial information with them. I like to see that being a neck wallet hanging around their neck, for pocket wallets it’s critical that they put it in their front pocket, and at most driver’s license, one credit card, one check. I’d like to see them carrying nothing more than that in the financial arena.

How can older adults stay safe going to and from their cars at the mall?

If ladies are going to put their purse in the trunk, they need to do that before they leave home.

They cannot arrive in a shopping area, in the parking lot, pop the trunk, bend over, put something in it and shut the trunk because these ID thieves can be in their car in 30 seconds, pop the trunk and they’ve got their purse. It’s definitely critical that they don’t do that in the parking lot.

A few tips: Park as close to an entrance as they can.

If they’re going to be there after dark, they’ve got to park under lights. Take the time, drive around a little bit longer and find a parking place.

They have got to take note of where they park. They cannot leave the mall loaded down SEE SHOP SAFE, P10

with packages and be wandering around like they’re lost, because that kind of behavior is going to make them easy prey for ID thieves.

When they get in their cars, they need to lock the doors, and I don’t care who comes up saying `Hey I need directions,’ they cannot roll their window down or they’ll reach through and grab the purse and be gone.

What effect do you think that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on holiday shopping?

This is just my opinion, but here’s what I expect; we’ve been shut off for the last two years. Everyone I’ve talked to when I’m going out presenting can’t wait to get to the mall for the holidays. I mean, they want to be back in the groove of things, they want to go out and have a nice lunch and see decorations and hear music.

Consequently, I think (older adults) are going to be out in greater mass than we have seen certainly in two years and I think because they’ve been deprived, the ID thieves are going to be out in greater mass than we’ve seen in two years.

For older adults who shop online, what kinds of things can they do to avoid internet scams?

(Seniors should) make sure they’re going to the actual site of whoever they want to shop from.

So, they can’t click on a pop-up, they can’t click on something else that might come via an email.

I strongly encourage the use of a new search engine called DuckDuckGo because it hides your IP address, it encrypts all your activity and it blocks pop-ups, so there’s no chance of going to a site that a crook has set up that is just meant to capture credit card or bank account numbers.

And then they need to be really aware of these emails that come in unannounced, unexpected; `Hey, your Amazon account is overdue,’ or `Hey, we see an anomaly with your account, and we

need you to contact us right away.’ Of course, the contact email or phone number will be from a crook, not Amazon. They’ll never get a followup from an online order asking for additional information.

What regular habits should folks be in to watch out for fraud?

First of all, they need to be diligent about checking both their bank account - and I encourage doing it online - and their credit card account.

They’ve just got to begin doing that at least once a week to check for anomalies.

What steps do you recommend taking if a theft or fraud occurs?

The thing they need to do is cut off all access. If your bank account’s compromised, get that thing closed. Banks don’t like people to close their accounts because it’s a hassle and a bother to them.

(Older adults) need to close the account, pure and simple. And they need to remember that they’re the customer asking for a service from the bank.

With their credit card, obviously need to stop the credit card as quickly as possible. The number to call and stop your credit card is on the back on your credit card. I usually encourage people to put the number on the back of their credit card into their smart phone if the credit card goes physically missing.

Every older adult should put a security freeze on with the credit reporting agencies. We’re talking about a population that are not going to put on a lot more credit, if any. So, they need to just lock that thing down and be done with it.

What can folks do after the holidays to check if they were scammed?

They need to be vigilant about checking their statements in January. With all this activity going on, they might not get to them, and of course nobody wants to look at their statement in January because you spent too much money. But they need to make sure they check both banking statement and credit card statements in January.

Helping us understand what we went through Local author was frontline cashier during pandemic

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2019, Denver blogger Adam Kaat left his corporate job to focus on his writing.

At the time, he had the first draft of a novel completed. Kaat sought a job that was active, but not mentally draining so he could continue work on his debut novel.

Kaat, 36, secured a job in January 2020 as a cashier at a busy, high-end grocery store in Cherry Creek. He enjoyed being a point person for customer service, and especially, the social aspect of the job.

But shortly after settling in, the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

By March 15, there were mask orders in place, workers had to sanitize their registers between every customer and shoppers began to hoard groceries and toiletries, Kaat said.

He added there was a lot of general panic at that time.

“Everyone’s working overtime (and) being called a hero,” Kaat said.

“We had no other choice than to go with the flow.”

Kaat then decided to set the novel he had been working on aside, and began to blog about being a frontline worker during an unprecedented time. The blog gained a following, and prompted to Kaat to write what

would become his first published novel: “Life on the Grocery Line: A Frontline Experience in a Global Pandemic.”

The book was published in April. It is a work of fiction, but mirrors a lot of Kaat’s experiences as a grocery store employee.

“Life on the Grocery Line” tells the story through the eyes of the character, David, a cashier at the fictional Dream Grocers store during the pandemic.

“The book shows the human side of everyday interactions that people might not think about,” Kaat said.

“Hopefully, it makes you laugh, (and) think about the future and to be good to each other.”

Did anything in particular inspire you to become a writer?

I think I have always been a writer.

I just needed to find the focus to sit down and write. It’s the best way for me to work through the things — both happy and sad — that happen in my life.

I did not discover my love of writing until my last year in college when I began reading more for fun and finding a wider variety of writers. I started dabbling with blogs then and I fell in love.

I enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories. My book has brought me closer to people I wouldn’t have otherwise met. It’s a fun journey.

What did you enjoy most about writing “Life on the Grocery Line”?

Adam Kaat

COURTESY PHOTO

It was therapeutic to sit down and sort through the craziness of the early pandemic. There was a heavy burden put on grocery workers and other essential employees. With all of the uncertainty of the times, I was grateful to have a project to work on.

the problems we all went through during the first few months of the pandemic.

Hopefully, it helps us all understand what we went through.

As the pandemic wears on and we move back toward “normalcy,” I think it can help remind us how fragile everything is. I think doing that can help ground us and give a better perspective on the future.

Parmalee Elementary students participate in annual oral interpretation assembly For more than 22 years, Parmalee Elementary School students have stood before the entire school to recite poetry and prose.

This year’s oral interpretation assembly on Nov. 19 was no different.

Students from virtually every grade stood on stage to recite everything from Shel Silverstein’s humorous poetry to one of President John F. Kennedy’s speeches to Shakespeare to President Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address.”

The selections were as diverse as the students who recited them, and their recitations were flawless, some using props and gestures to help convey the meaning. While the oral interpretation event used to be mandatory for students, it’s now voluntary.

The fifth graders participating this year stepped up their game, according to event organizers, who said many of the students have been competing against each other since they were in kindergarten. First-, second- and third-place awards are given to each grade.

“They try to best each other,” said parent co-organizer Kari Vernon, who noted that it seems more students nowadays are writing their own poetry to recite at the assembly.

Jen Van Praag, whose sons participated in the competition, attended Parmalee as a child and participated in the oral interpretation competition, so she understands the value of both public speaking and the event.

“The competition teaches a lot of

life skills,” said co-organizer Van Praag. “I want (the competition) to continue.”

Fifth grader Caroline Heck, dressed in a long flowing dress, recited “The Lady of Shalott” by Alfred Tennyson. The 19-stanza poem tells of a young noblewoman stranded in a tower up the river from Camelot.

Caroline tied for first place with fifth grader Olive Fiore, who performed a skit by comedian Jim Gaffigan.

Caroline said she chose “The Lady of Shalott” because she’s been reading one of the Anne of Green Gables books in which they were acting out the poem. Memorizing the entire piece took time, and she was perfecting the last stanza the night before the competition.

She has participated in the competition since kindergarten, noting it felt good to share first place with Olive. Caroline was nervous at first, and at times as she was reciting, she was trying to remember the next lines.

She and Olive agreed that public speaking is teaching them self-confidence.

Olive chose the Jim Gaffigan skit because he is her favorite comedian.

Olive noted that she’s pretty funny herself but not the class clown.

Oral interpretation comes easier for Olive because she is involved in Colorado Children’s Theatre in Evergreen, so she has some experience acting in front of an audience.

And once you get the hang of acting, Olive noted, memorizing the lines is pretty easy.

Olive has been in Parmalee’s oral interpretation competition once before.

“The difference between theater kids and normal kids when they recite something is theater kids have a bunch of pizazz,” Olive explained.

“They put all their effort into making the crowd enjoy (the performance).”

Looking for book ideas this season?

f you are ever looking for a great conversation starter, try asking people what they may be reading. What people read can give us great insight to their hobbies, passions WINNING and interests, and that helps lead into WORDS a fun and engaging discussion. This also is one of those questions I find myself answering as well. Depending on when that question comes my way will determine my answer, as I have Michael Norton been following the same reading pattern for many years now.

In addition to my Bible, blogs, columns and industry information, I read somewhere between 40 and 50 books per year. And the reading cycle that I tend to follow is this: A faith-based book; business book; biography; history; and then a fiction book. For me, this provides a glimpse into the areas that help me personally and professionally, while also helping me to be prepared for conversations with family members, friends, people I meet socially, and my clients. I find the different

perspectives extremely helpful in understanding how others view the things that are happening in our world.

At this time of year the question about what I am reading comes up a lot. Many of you send me emails asking for recommendations throughout the year, and during the holiday season, as people are looking for gift ideas, the question comes up with greater frequency.

Maybe you have a different cycle of reading that you follow. Perhaps someone you know may be interested in one of the books I have mentioned here, so I hope this list is helpful in some way.

Each of us has our favorite books and authors. Some of us enjoy our

books that we can physically touch and hold, myself included. Others prefer their e-reader. And there are many who enjoy consuming their stories through audio books.

Whatever our preferences are, whoever our favorite authors are, and however we choose to take a mental, emotional and spiritual journey by engaging with our favorite books, the important thing is that we make time to broaden our horizons by reading as much as we possibly can and from as many sources as we possibly can.

How about you? Are you a fellow voracious reader? What are you reading these days? Is it time to mix it up a bit and start reading something new? Have you shared your reading list with others? I would love to hear all about what you are reading now, or even your favorite books from the past, at mnorton@ tramazing.com. And when we can expand our thinking through what others are writing and sharing, it really will be a better than good year.

ast year, on my wife’s instructions, I built a little flower garden. I’m not really good with growing things, so this was an adventure. Moved rocks, turned over soil, HITTING laid better soil, framed it with HOME brick, and then I planted 12 pretty little flower bushes, in the hope that they would take root, and this year I could place a little ground cover around them, and have just a little….

Of the 12, 11 died over the winter.

And, yes, smart-alecks, I planted perennials. I don’t know why the twelfth plant survived. I honestly didn’t do anything different with it than the others. It just did. Like it was sent by the others back in the spring to mock me. Or maybe it was just unusually tough and resilient, like some herbaceous Katniss Evergreen, representing District 12. I don’t know.

So, I planted again this spring.

Eleven new ones to keep the survivor company. So far, so good. But, then, we haven’t had winter yet.

But, still, I’m optimistic. Maybe it’s because I learned a little bit in the interim — last Christmas, my wife bought me a nifty little indoor herb garden thing (honestly, probably as a joke between her and our daughters). At any rate, following the instructions, paying attention to the monitors, I was able to keep that little herb garden alive for eight months, until I had so much

basil in my kitchen that the mice out back were like “Hey, you gonna make a pesto with that, or what?”

I think the lesson I learned was that the plants needed more than just enough to be kept alive — I needed to be giving them enough that they could grow. Apparently, nature has this “grow or die” sort of ethos.

Like people.

Just saw the staggering statistic that over 100,000 Americans died in 2020 from drug overdoses. I don’t want to diminish the role of addiction or the complexities of drug use in America in this conversation, but that is an astonishing number. And I don’t think it is just coincidence that it happened in the COVID times. How much of society, from restaurants to factories to athletics, were shut down, leaving people with an abundance of time and a dearth of purpose?

“Idle hands are the Devil’s playthings.”

Grow or Die. I was amused by all the people posting all their new hobbies during lockdown, but, I see now, that was probably the most sane and healthy thing any of us did.

It reminded me of a book from a few years back called “Grit,”

by Angela Duckworth. In it, she emphasizes the role of trying new things as a way of developing resiliency in children. To wit, with her family, she requires them to do one thing every year that requires extra effort — a sport, or a musical instrument, or a foreign language, or something like that, and she requires them to stick with whatever it is for an entire year. They’re welcome to drop it and pick up something new, but only after they’ve really given it a go for a full year.

So, this year, in light of that (and also because I don’t want my already-diminished mental capac-

and mild for others?

I wish it wasn’t the responsible thing for local boards of health to reinstate mask mandates, but it is. Rather than villainize health officials or claim that making relatively minor sacrifices to protect both ourselves and everyone else treads on our most basic human rights, we should be pulling together to get this virus behind us.

While last week’s public health meetings and controversy were about masks, we really need a renewed focus on getting unvaccinated people to be vaccinated. Arguments against the safety and efficacy of the vaccine have been completely disproven. If we were completely vaccinated, it is likely that the masking controversy would resolve itself. But in the meantime, requiring masks again is eminently reasonable and the order should be observed.

been vaccinated. And yet she got it and was very sick.

While she recovered relatively quickly and did not require hospitalization, the simple fact is that even though she had acted responsibly and done the things that were recommended to avoid COVID, she got it. Thankfully, the dozens of people with whom she had come into contact with got tested were all negative.

As I’ve said in this space before, I hate wearing a mask. Now that it’s colder, it’s worse as it causes my glasses to fog up. And yet the argument that it is intrusive for the government to require me to use a mask misses the point. It isn’t that intrusive.

It’s not like I’m being asked to have a chip placed into my body so the government can track my movements!

Despite all the work and study that we’ve done over the last two years, we still don’t know what we don’t know about COVID. Why are vaccinated people getting the disease? Who can transmit it?

Why is it so devastating to some people

wo years into the COVID-19 pandemic and with an over 70% statewide vaccination rate, we’re back to record highs of Coloradans who are dying from the disease. We are at risk of having no available intensive care beds.

We’re headed into the holiday season where it is likely that gatherings of people and colder weather forcing us inside means that cases will probably continue to spike.

And yet, while the Jefferson County Board of Public Health was in a marathon meeting about mask mandates last week, a protest against the policy raged outside with people continuing to make the shortsighted and simply incorrect argument that whether or not to use a mask is a personal decision that does not affect the health of anyone but themselves.

We had a breakthrough COVID case in our family last month. The person who got sick had tested negative one week before getting sick. She was fully vaccinated. Everyone at the only large gathering she had attended prior to contracting COVID had

ArtCenter College of Design.

Andy, 46, is a graphic designer and Phillip, 42, paints landscapes and animals.

Now, Newsom focuses on painting Santa through the Gouache medium. Gouache is waterbased, opaque watercolor style of painting and allows for very fine details. Bright colors come out very bright and dark colors come out very dark, and he uses very small brushes to extract the utmost detail. Over the years, Newsom has created over 150 total Santa paintings.

His process of painting starts out with a commission. A buyer will give him verbal directions, “Santa with puppies,” for example, and then he creates sketches. The sketches are sent back and after receiving confirmation, he will begin his paintings.

All paintings start out with research. Some pieces consist of merely a photograph of a model, SEE SANTA, P17

or Tom Newsom, one of about six Santa painters across the United States, inspiration comes from the foothills of the Rockies.

“Living in the mountains in Colorado is pretty inspiring,” Newsom said.

For those who have ever completed a Santa puzzle, or seen ASPCA Christmas cards, Newsom’s art might seem familiar.

Chances are, it’s his name on those illustrations.

As well, he completed the artwork for the books Indian in the Cupboard, the Wizard of Oz, The Night Before Christmas, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and more. Some were for the original copies and some were reprints.

A Texas native, he moved to Colorado in 1981 and resides in Evergreen with his wife, Carol.

Since he was a boy, Newsom has always been drawn to creating artwork. In college, he started off as an engineering major with hopes to work in the space program, which heightened his interest during the 1960s. However, he quickly switched to his passion. In 1971, he graduated from the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California as an illustration major.

He gravitated away from astronomy to pursue painting, but the two spheres came together.

Newsom was hired to watch a space shuttle launch at Cape Kennedy and create several pieces of art for the Manned Space Flight Art Collection.

His career started off while he was in college, creating illustrations for cash. During the summers in between semesters, he drew portraits at an amusement park to afford tuition. Then, he graduated from art school and his salary ever since comes from his artwork.

“There aren’t very many people who actually make a liv-

ing at art. I mean, a lot of people go to art school and they wind up doing something else. But I’ve managed to make a career for a long, long time doing artwork,” he said.

Although painting remains as his passion, he does not encourage others to join in.

“I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody,” he said. “It’s a pretty tricky profession. I’ve worked exclusively on commissions, piece by piece. My total income is just dependent on artwork.

And so it’s, you know, it’s a chancy thing to work on your own life.”

That discouragement did not come off to his family, as artistry must run in Newsom blood.

His wife, Carol, also creates illustrations. His two sons, Andy and Phillip, graduated from the

Miners Alley says farewell to ‘A Christmas Carol’

I

f you speak to most actors, they’ll tell you that every production creates a family feeling between the cast and crew. And while that feeling is important, it’s fleeting, since people tend to go their own way after the production is done. But COMING for the cast of “A ATTRACTIONS Christmas Carol” at the Miners Alley Playhouse, that is not the case.

For the last five productions, Jim Hunt, Lisa DeCaro, Meredith Young, Koi Matheo, Jason Maxwell and Josh Clarke Reader Hartwell have all taken on the characters from Charles Dickens’ immortal story with a Miners Alleyspecific framing service. But this will be the last the theater stages the show for some time.

“It’s become a family reunion every year for all of us,” Hunt, who plays Scrooge, said warmly. “It’s very emotional for us this year and we’re all just playing the life out of it.”

“A Christmas Carol” runs at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, through Thursday, Dec. 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday, with additional performances at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 21 through 23. The theater requires masks for all at all performances and attendees (except children younger than 12-years-old) must show proof of vaccination.

He explained how a commission hired him to paint St. Nick on a motorcycle, and he needed to visit

a local touch by Hartwell’s adaptation, the hilarious and quick-witted production features the six actors playing all the characters fans know. Hunt said the show provides him a great opportunity to do a full investigation of the Scrooge character — something that other productions don’t always offer.

“I love Miners Alley so much and it has been the best treat and honor to do this work there,” he said. “If you’re not doing something you like at Christmas, it can be hard for your soul. But ours is really an intimate and cozy production.”

Over the years, the show has become a Christmas tradition for audiences all over Golden and beyond, so much so that Matheo said the virtual option the theater hosted last year during the depths of the COVID-19 lockdown was the biggest seller of all its holiday options. But changes along the way, including his child, Koi, getting older, have affirmed that it’s time to put the show to bed.

“We’ve done just enough tweaks over the years that it feels different each time,” Matheo said. “And this year it really feels different — it’s like there’s something new going on. There’s a vibrancy on the stage.”

That vibrancy means audiences are in for a special treat as the company says goodbye to the show — though not to holiday productions.

They’re already planning for “A Christmas Story” for next year.

“There are great elements of theater magic that highlight the ghost story and redemption story that is `A Christmas Carol,’” Matheo said.

Masks not perfect, but do help, says local health chief Tri-County’s Douglas, data shed light on misconceptions

vaccines — why wear a mask? Why get vaccinated when so many people already have been?

Colorado Community Media spoke to Douglas and reviewed other sources of information below to address those questions.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

His local public-health department has issued another mask-wearing mandate for two metro-Denver counties with nearly 1.2 million people.

Even so, John Douglas doesn’t hesitate to admit that masks aren’t perfect in the fight against COVID-19.

“But, like vaccines, they work better when more people use them,” Douglas, executive director of the Tri-County Health Department, told Colorado Community Media.

“Because, like vaccines, they can both prevent the individual from getting infected or sick,” and also can prevent spread of the virus to others, Douglas said.

Tri-County Health serves Adams and Arapahoe counties, and provides certain public-health services in Douglas County.

Under a Nov. 22 Tri-County order, all people 2 and older in Adams and Arapahoe County must wear a face covering in all public indoor spaces.

Authorities in Jefferson, Denver and Boulder counties have issued similar mandates.

With rates of new coronavirus cases recently reaching levels not seen since December of last year —

wave in spring 2020 — coronavirus hospitalizations in Colorado had for months been creeping up toward last December’s peak.

And while numbers so far this month suggest hospitalizations may finally be coming back down, Colorado’s number of COVID-19 patients still sits high above what it was during most other parts of the pandemic.

Colorado had 1,368 people hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 as of Dec. 3 this year, according to state data. Colorado had the 10th-highest COVID-19 hospital demand in the United States as of early November, according to a Nov. 3 report by the Colorado School of Public Health.

But with the public hearing so many concerns about masks and mask effectiveness — and about

Like ‘sand through a chain-link fence’ At a contentious public comment session in front of Arapahoe County’s elected leaders after Tri-County Health issued its school mask order in August, a man offered an evocative picture of how he thought masks interact with the coronavirus.

“If you took a fist of sand and threw it through a chain-link fence, imagine how much of it would go through,” the man said during the meeting, noting how small the virus is.

A post on a popular social media page last year, focusing specifically on N95 masks, said: “COVID 19 virus particle size is 125 nanometers (0.125 microns); the range is 0.06 microns to .14 microns,” the post said, according to a USA Today fact-check report. “The N95 mask filters down to 0.3 microns. So, N95 masks block few, if any, virions (virus particles).”

A micron is one one-thousandth of a millimeter — it’s also referred to as a micrometer.

But there’s more to it than that. A COVID-19 virus particle exists on a tiny scale — around 0.1 microns in size — but it is always bonded to something larger, an expert told USA Today for the report. In other words, masks don’t have to stop bare virus particles alone.

“There is never a naked virus floating in the air or released by people,” Linsey Marr, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech who specializes in airborne transmission of viruses, told USA Today.

The virus attaches to water droplets or aerosols — really small droplets — that are generated by breathing, talking, coughing and so on. These consist of water, mucus protein and other biological material and are all larger than 1 micron, SEE MASKS, P20

USA Today reported.

Those points were echoed in a research article published in the journal City and Environment Interactions and available online in May 2020, a piece that also suggested the use of masks indoors and improving ventilation to combat COVID-19.

See that article at tinyurl.com/MaskArticleCity.

Douglas, the local health chief, has said masks have been shown to be “50-70% effective.” The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website says: “Multi-layer cloth masks can both block up to 5070% of … fine droplets and particles and limit the forward spread of those that are not captured.”

Another speaker at that Arapahoe County commissioners’ meeting in August, from Centennial, said: “If you want to wear a mask, wear it. If you don’t, then don’t. If your guys’ mask works so well, why do I have to wear one? Why does my kid have to wear one?”

The issue arose again at a Nov. 22 Arapahoe commissioners’ meeting, where Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said: “I do think there’s a level of personal responsibility ... They should wear them if they want to wear them and if they need to wear them.”

Masks are primarily intended to reduce the emission of droplets toward others, an effect known as “source control,” as opposed to “wearer protection,” the CDC’s website says.

But studies also demonstrate that cloth mask materials can also reduce wearers’ exposure to infectious droplets through filtration, including filtration of fine droplets and particles less than 10 microns.

“The relationship between source control and wearer protection is likely complementary and possibly synergistic, so that individual benefit increases with increasing community mask use,” the website adds.

iesData.

“By the way, we often forget that this is (spreading) because a very large chunk — maybe 60% of COVID cases — (come from) people who are asymptomatic or presymptomatic,” Douglas said, using terms for people who have COVID-19 without symptoms or whose symptoms have yet to arise.

For a look at other mask data, see our previous story at tinyurl.com/ MoreMaskData.

Because masks aren’t a cure-all, physical distancing; meeting outdoors rather than indoors; avoiding large groups; and improving ventilation by opening windows or running heat, air conditioning, or an air purifier are all still important steps to take, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reiterated on Nov. 24 ahead of holiday celebrations.

Masks in schools State health officials have presented data showing that requiring kids to wear masks while in school is associated with lower rates of COVID-19, The Colorado Sun reported in September, citing comments from Rachel Herlihy, the Colorado state epidemiologist.

The state public-health depart-

ment looked at age-adjusted case rates for kids in 48 school districts, split into two groups by whether the districts are requiring masks in schools, the Sun reported. See that story at tinyurl.com/SunSchoolData.

A recent CDC study looked at the impact of masking in schools on COVID-19 case rates among K-12 students across the United States.

Counties without school mask requirements experienced larger increases in pediatric COVID-19 case rates after the start of school compared with counties that had school mask requirements, according to the Sept. 24 study. See that at tinyurl.com/CDCSchoolStudy.

While Douglas acknowledged it’s difficult to say unequivocally that the masks made the difference, he’s confident that the data back up that conclusion.

“What is notable in the data from CDPHE and even more so from the national study performed by CDC is that while rates were reasonably similar between districts that did and did not implement mandates going into the school year, they increased substantially more in the areas without mandates than in SEE MASKS, P22

those that had them, which is highly consistent with a benefit of the mandate,” Douglas said.

Mental health concerns Douglas previously responded to concerns among some parents that masks are making kids anxious or leading to other negative mental health outcomes.

Mental health concerns among young people are likely due to family life and routines being disrupted amid the pandemic, along with isolation and uncertainty, according to Douglas.

Speaking to Colorado Community Media, Douglas said younger kids “probably do lose a lot of emotional cues” such as smiles, frowns or teachers’ lips moving.

“I don’t disagree at all that from a learning perspective, there may be an impact, but the counter to that is that masks have ended up being (what) allows kids to stay (safe) in the classroom anyway,” Douglas said.

As opposed to school being remote, kids get more social interaction from being in a classroom, Douglas said.

“You’ve got better education outcomes (and) probably better socialemotional outcomes” in that case, Douglas said.

The text of Tri-County Health’s initial mid-August school mask order also addressed the topic of mental health. It reads: “Children’s Hospital Colorado clarified that

mask wearing has not been linked to mental health problems in children or any other group and did not contribute to their declared ‘state of emergency’ for pediatric mental health.”

Elizabeth Whitehead, a spokesperson for Children’s Hospital Colorado, confirmed the accuracy of that statement.

For more outside information on masks and mental health, see the “mental health” section of our previous story at tinyurl.com/MasksAndMentalHealth.

Physical health concerns Another claim that came up during a Tri-County board of health meeting on Aug. 16: Masks problematically forcing a person to “rebreathe the carbon dioxide.”

Wearing a mask does produce a “small increase” in breathing resistance caused by the mask material filtering particles and any moisture that is trapped in the mask material, according to a commentary in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

“One consistently documented negative impact of wearing a mask for a long period of time is an increase in the development of headaches in people with a history of headaches,” the September 2020 article says. See it at tinyurl.com/MasksAndBreathing.

“In otherwise healthy individuals, wearing masks, even for an extended period of time, does not produce any clinically relevant changes in circulating O2 or CO2 concentrations, and does not seem to impact tidal volume or respiratory rate,” the article says.

Douglas pointed to real-world expe-

rience: health and hospital settings, where health care providers have been wearing masks for “decades if not longer.”

“There have been virtually no detected impacts on acute health, long term health (or) job performance,” Douglas said.

Why more vaccinations?

The speaker at the Arapahoe

County commissioners’ meeting in August from Centennial also asked: “If your vaccine works so well and you believe in it so much, why do I have to wear a mask? Why do I have to get a vaccine?”

Douglas, speaking to CCM, brought up the example of compelling people by law to wear seatbelts.

much less likely to be hospitalized or die than people who are not vaccinated, the CDC’s website says.

somebody dying in a car accident is a bad enough societal impact that something pretty minor … seatbelt wearing, is something we endorse and use,” Douglas said. He added: “Most of the time, a law like that is purely designed to protect the person using the preventive measure.”

He noted that the chances of the virus spreading — and the chances of more-dangerous variants developing — are reduced the more people get the vaccine.

“We’re in this national, if not global, lifeboat together because we share a contagion that can spread globally really quickly, certainly quickly nationally,” Douglas said.

Some people who are fully vaccinated will still get COVID-19, according to the CDC. An infection of a fully vaccinated person is referred to as a “vaccine breakthrough infection,” the CDC’s website says. Like other vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines are not 100% effective.

That’s part of why stopping the virus’s spread on a societal level is important — and it’s partly why mask wearing is still being urged.

Even when fully vaccinated people develop symptoms, they tend to be less severe symptoms than in unvaccinated people. This means they are

Herd immunity Some may be wondering when enough people will be vaccinated for life to begin returning to some semblance of normal.

At one point, it was thought that “herd immunity” — a term for when enough people become immune that the spread of a disease becomes unlikely — could happen when around 70% to 80% of people attain immunity to COVID-19.

(See more on how that works in the sidebar in our previous story at tinyurl.com/HerdImmunityExplain.)

But there is uncertainty regarding the true herd immunity threshold.

What’s more, the delta coronavirus variant is more transmissible, a development that changes the percentage needed for herd immunity, according to an article from the American Medical Association.

“Herd immunity is a helpful concept but often difficult to operationalize and hang your hat on,” Douglas said. “The estimate went up because delta is over twice as contagious as the original strain. Eighty to 90% of persons in the population being immune is the best estimate at this point, but it would go higher if an even more contagious variant emerged.”

Chatfield football’s state title dream becomes reality

Chatfield football players and coaches celebrate after winning the Class 4A state championship game 41-34 over Erie on Saturday, Dec. 4, at Empower Field at Mile High. It’s the first football title for the Chargers in 20 years. Chatfield won the 5A state football title back in 2001.

Last-second TD gives Chargers 41-34 victory over Erie in 4A state championship game

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

DENVER — It will go down as the biggest touchdown pass in the history of Chatfield football.

Sophomore quarterback Jake Jones connected with sophomore tight end Drew Rohlman for a 32-yard touchdown with 11 seconds remaining in the Class 4A state championship game against Erie on Saturday afternoon at Empower Field at Mile High.

The final touchdown wrapped up a dramatic 41-34 victory to conclude a remarkable season for the Chargers in winning the school’s first state football title in 20 years.

“I just knew my job.

Thanks to my offensive line to give me the time to make that throw to Drew,” said Jones, who completed the Chargers’ only two passes of the game on the 7-play, 80-yard scoring drive in the final 2 minutes of the game.

“I took my three-step drop and I figured the outside shoulder was a better shot.

I threw it up to give it a chance.”

It was just the 11th catch of the season and fourth receiving touchdown of the season for Rohlman.

“I knew I was going to have a shot to make a play right there,” Rohlman said of the eventual game-winning touchdown catch. “I love that kid Jake Jones. He

put that ball in the perfect spot. I just made a play on it.”

Erie had scored back-toback touchdowns in less than four minutes to tie the game at 34-34 with 1:54 left to play. The Chargers (11-3 record) took over on its own 20-yard line. Senior Jake Marschall had a huge 11-yard run on a third-down play to keep the drive alive.

Jones, junior Mason Lowe and freshman Brock Narva connected with a 23-yard gain on a hook-and-ladder throw with 30 seconds left on the clock to get Chatfield across midfield. Lowe had a big 12 yard run to get the Chargers to the 30-yard line to get Chatfield in range for the scoring strike.

“We had been practicing that in practice all the time,” Lowe said of the hookand-ladder. “We just had to execute it and it worked. It was great.”

Chatfield coach Bret McGatlin admitted he was just hoping to get into field-goal range on the Chargers’ final drive. He went back to a pass play that the Chargers had run in the first half, but Jone got pressured and couldn’t get the pass away in time.

“We ran it early in the game and it was wide-open,” McGatlin said. “This time they covered Marschall and our tight end (Rohlman) got a step on his defender.”

Erie (13-1) got the ball back with only seconds left. The Tigers got the ball to mid-

field, but the clock ran out before Erie could get a legitimate shot at the end zone.

“It was crazy. What an incredible season,” said Lowe, who missed a part of the season with a broken bone in his foot. “We won all this games coming back.

We have such a brotherhood on this team. We love every single one of these people.”

Erie took an early 13-0 lead, but Chatfield answered with a 28-point second quarter to grab a 28-20 lead at halftime. Junior Sam Ayres and Marschall both had a pair of touchdown runs before half.

Narva had a huge defensive play in the third quarter for the Chargers. He had a tackle on Erie sophomore quarterback Blake Barnett on a 4-and-1 play from Chatfield’s 11-yard line.

“We had a speech in the locker room that we weren’t going to break,” Lowe said of the Chargers giving up 34 points defensively, but also forcing turnovers.

Chatfield turned around and had a 14-play, 89-yard scoring drive capped off by a 4-yard touchdown run by Narva to give the Chargers a 34-20 lead early in the fourth quarter.

“The future is still bright.

We have a lot of young kids on this team,” McGatlin said of the likes of Lowe, Jones, Rohlman and Narva that all came up big in the title game. “We are going to miss Marschall with his leader-

ship. I am excited about the future. We are going to have to be good moving up to 5A.” Marschall finished with 27 carries for 151 yards on the ground in his final game for the Chargers. The senior finished with just under 2,000 yards rushing and 28 touchdowns.

“There is no way I can really convey to people the feeling,” Marschall said. “I love my brothers. That is why we won. The unconditional love we have for each other. We got the state championship for our school.

This is awesome.”

It was the first time Chatfield or Erie had ever played for a 4A state football title.

The Chargers actually won the 5A championship back in 2001 under then coach

Dave Logan. Erie was in the 3A title game in 2017, losing to Palmer Ridge.

Chatfield had three regular-season losses on the season. Pine Creek, Bear Creek and Dakota Ridge all defeated the Chargers. However, Chatfield got revenge with playoff wins over Dakota Ridge (quarterfinals) and Pine Creek (semifinals) to advance to the title game.

“It was an incredible dream. I’m glad it turned into reality,” Lowe said.

“I can’t wait to party with these guys. It’s going to be so fun.”

Mines advances to NCAA semis for first time

BY TIM FLYNN MINES ATHLETICS

GOLDEN, Colo. - Colorado School of Mines advanced to the NCAA semifinals for the first time in program history, going up big and then holding off Angelo State 34-26 in the Super Region IV final.

Mines will travel to Valdosta State for the Dec. 11 national semifinals, with a noon Eastern kickoff. Shepherd, Valdosta State, and Ferris State all advanced along with the Orediggers (12-1).

The national semifinals will air live on ESPN+.

Michael Zeman ran for 138 yards and a touchdown and also caught another, and John Matocha threw for four scores in a 254-yard day to pace an offense that touched the nation’s #5 scoring defense for 34 points. Logan Rayburn made a critical late interception for the defense as they held ASU to 3-of-13 on third downs in a bend-notbreak performance.

Zach Bronkhorst paced ASU with 331 yards passing and two touchdowns, nearly getting the Rams (11-3) back into the game in the fourth quarter with both of his scores in the quarter.

“We’ve been talking about it ever since we came here seven years ago, and now we have a chance to make it happen,” said head coach Gregg Brandon after the win. “I’m really excited for this football team. Great senior leadership has carried it for us all fall, I’m excited for the kids.

Playing deep into December is exciting.”

Mines had a first quarter to forget as the Ram defense held the Orediggers without a first down on their first two drives, and Asa Fuller’s 26-yard field goal provided the lone points of the period to give Angelo State a 3-0 lead.

The Orediggers’ quick-strike ability became a factor on the second quarter’s opening drive as Matocha found Max McLeod over the middle for a 60-yard catch and run to lead 7-3, and after a crucial 4th-and-1 stop at midfield got the ball back, Mines embarked on another scoring drive capped

by Matocha finding Josh John-

ston from 21 yards out. Angelo State blocked a do-over PAT, however, which would prove crucial later in the game.

Mines forced a three-and-out on the next series and got a 28-yard Mason Pierce punt return to start at midfield, finishing in the end zone again five plays later when Zeman ran it in from a yard out of the wildcat for a 20-3 lead at halftime.

Angelo State’s big play came early in the third quarter on the first play of their second series when Alfred Grear broke containment and went 90 yards to the house, cutting the score to 20-10; Mines answered two possessions later when Matocha completed a short pass to Mason Karp, who streaked 42 yards in to make it 27-10.

ASU started to make things interesting in the fourth, sacking Matocha on a 4th-down try at the ASU 32 and then driving to score on a five-yard pass to Noah Massey to cut it to 27-17, but Evan Alexander recovered the onside kick and that led to Matocha dumping off a scrambling pass to Zeman, who caught the edge and scored from 39 yards out to make it a three-score game. Rayburn’s interception came on the next possession with 3:23 remaining, and after a high snap on a punt was smartly kicked out of the end zone by Jacob Click for a safety to make it 34-19, Angelo State quickly scored on a Rasheen Green 16yard catch to make it 34-26 Mines with 2:17 to go.

With no Ram timeouts remaining, all Mines needed was a first down and Zeman found it on a 12yard gain at midfield, letting the Orediggers kneel it out for their spot in the semis.

“Our goal board says win the RMAC, and that’s not a goal anymore, that’s an expectation,” Brandon said. “Now we’ve finally achieved that second goal, to win the region. It’s hard. To win college football games is hard. To get to this point and win a game like that — Angelo was a good football team, a darn good football team, make no mistake about that — everyone here is good. The next goal on that board is to win a national championship.”

Mines junior receiver Tristan Smith dives for a catch, even as an Angelo State defender does likewise. Smith would make five catches in the game, to add 35 yards of offense in the 34-26 CMS win.

Rebuilding season ahead for Lakewood boys hoops

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — Air Academy’s boys basketball team didn’t waste anytime getting up to full speed Thursday, Dec. 2.

The Kadets grabbed steal-aftersteal defensively that led to a handful of layups and dunks in the first quarter of the Paul Davis Classic opener at Green Mountain High School. Air Academy easily advanced into the semifinals with a 87-39 victory over Lakewood.

“We really wanted to focus on our defense. That all we really wanted to focus on,” Air Academy coach Barry Clark said. “The old cliché is defense turns to offense and it did. If we play good defense we’ll be competitive.”

Air Academy (2-1 record) was more that competitive against Lakewood (1-3). The Tigers graduated 10 seniors last season and couldn’t keep pace with the highflying Kadets.

“They are awesome,” Lakewood coach Daryl Johnson said of Air Academy that took a 56-16 lead at halftime.

Air Academy finished with five different players in double-figure points. Juniors Finn Horsfall, Corbin Garver, Grant Featherston, Theron Coleman, along with sophomore Noah Hellem all hit double figures.

Horsfall led the way scoring 18 of his game-high 20 points in the opening half.

“We are super excited to just get out here and play,” Horsfall said.

“We are best friends, a bunch of us. This means a lot to us to fly around and have some fun.”

Clark returns its top three scorers — Horsfall, Garver and Featherston — from last year’s team that had a 7-6 record during the shortened COVID season. Air Academy added Coleman into the mix.

“Theron Coleman is the man. We brought him back,” Horsfall said.

“He gives us a different dimension of speed and athleticism.”

Coleman grew up with most of the Air Academy players before moving to California his freshman year. He moved back to Colorado and showed off his skill pouring in a dozen points against Lakewood.

“It helps a lot,” Clark said of having a strong core of juniors back. “We really didn’t have to rebuild or reinstall anything. We’ve had a head start of where we were last season.”

Air Academy defeated Palmer in the semifinals Dec. 3, but fell to the host Green Mountain Rams 66-65 in the tournament title game Dec. 4.

We are excited that we have this year and next year,” Horsfall said.

“Obviously we want to bring home a state title after one of those two years. We want to exceed expectations this year.”

Johnson admits its going to be a rebuilding year for the Tigers that graduated 10 seniors from its squad that went 7-6 and qualified for the 5A state tournament.

“Because of our age and experience it’s a development time,” Johnson said. “We are just trying to get better in each quarter.

Now we are trying to get better in the first two minutes of the first quarter. The last two games we’ve given up 28 points in each of the first quarters.”

Lakewood dropped its opener 76-53 against Denver South on Tuesday. The Tigers did get their first win of the season with a 50-47 victory over Battle Mountain in the consolation semifinals of the Paul Davis Classic.

Holiday vibes at annual Winterfest

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

If you were looking for Christmas gifts, something for yourself or just a family-fun event, Evergreen’s 36th annual Winterfest was the place to be on Saturday.

The mood was festive for the indoor-outdoor event at Center for the Arts Evergreen despite weather that was anything but December-like. Some attendees wore shorts as they looked at the 35 booths filled with clothing, jewelry, home décor, holiday items and more. Children decorated ornaments, groups sang holiday songs, and food trucks were available to round out a day of Hallmark movie-like fun.

This is the first year in Winterfest’s 36-year history that it has been held at Center for the Arts in Bergen Park. In previous years, Winterfest was held at Evergreen High School.

“We wanted to change things up,” CAE Executive Director Lisa Nierenberg said, especially since the event was canceled in 2020. “We are so excited about today.”

Attendees also could check out the gallery exhibit, “You Belong Here,” featuring the artists who are a regular part of CAE. Proceeds from Winterfest support CAE’s arts programming.

Families could have their photos taken with the Sugarplum Fairy, aka dancer Shilah Pless. Emmy Jennings of Littleton had her camera out to get photos of her family with the fairy. Nora, 6, said she was enjoying Winterfest, especially the hot chocolate and painting an ornament.

Nora and her brother, Smith, 2, along with their cousin Gwen, 2, posed for pictures.

Mom Emmy said the family decided to drive to Evergreen because it was nice to get out to do something festive.

Grandma Julie Larrew called Winterfest a wonderful event, especially for children.

Liezl Kapastin, a new Evergreen resident, enjoyed talking with attendees as she sold her gnome décor. Kapastin named her business Lullabuloo - a combination of lullaby and hullabaloo — to encapsulate the craziness of her life.

She quit her graphic design when her now 6-year-old was born, and recently she started making gnomes.

“Gnomes tell a story,” she explained, noting that she needed a creative outlet, and the gnomes fit the bill. “I need to use my hands and make things.”

As Summit Sound of Voices West performed holiday music in the background, Melissa Brooke of Brighton displayed her jewelry, Christmas décor, signs and more.

She’s been crafting since she was young, and it’s her outlet after a long day at work.

Karen Haataja with WildArt is not new to foothills artisan fairs, having been a vendor at Summerfest and at the Conifer Holiday Boutique in the past. She liked the gallery venue because it gave Winterfest a different vibe.

Kristy Nguyen of Boulder looked festive in her green Christmas tree hoodie with a star on top, a fun contrast to the Christmas ornaments hanging on a tree in her booth.

Nguyen had a steady stream of people checking out her wood accessories and gifts from her business called Mountain Gypsea.

Nguyen said she had been a vendor in the past when Winterfest was at EHS, and she loved having her booth outside for this year’s event.

“This is great,” she said. “I love that it’s indoors and outdoors. There is a talented, diverse group of vendors, and the community definitely comes out to support the event.”

The Sugarplum Fairy, aka Shilah Pless of Conifer, poses for photos with families at Winterfest on Saturday sponsored by Center for the Arts Evergreen. Nora, 6, and Smith, 2, Jennings dressed in their plaid shirts along with their cousin Gwen, 2, wait for their mom Emmy JenPHOTO BY DEB HURLEY BROBST nings of Littleton to take a photo.
