Colo. schools that require masks have lower COVID rates State public-health officials urge universal masking in schools BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

hooked.” It was Grimes’ research into equine therapy and animal behavior that spurred the ranch’s start. She has been a certified therapist since 1995, yet she had never tested equine-assisted therapy principles. Then she met Wyner, who was looking for a career change. “Maybe a midlife crisis?” Wyner said with a chuckle. Grimes’ passion and research intrigued him. Shortly thereafter, he became a licensed professional counselor and partnered with Grimes to launch

Colorado’s school-aged children are experiencing the highest rates of coronavirus infection among any age group in the state right now. But state health officials on Sept. 23 presented new data showing that requiring kids to wear masks while in school is associated with lower rates of COVID-19. The data back up guidance from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recommending that all schools implement universal masking policies for students, staff and visitors, regardless of vaccination status. “The lower case rates are associated with districts that are requiring masks in schools, again showing a clear impact that masks are having in decreasing transmission in our school settings,” Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist, said during a briefing with reporters. Communities with higher rates of vaccination among school-aged children also have lower rates of coronavirus infection, according to CDPHE data. You’ve heard over and over that

Tiny ranch is big confidence builder Groundwork Ranch specializes in empowerment, therapy BY KATHLEEN DUNLAP SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Nestled on a modest plot of land between the Colorado Technology Center and fields of ripening crops in Louisville is Groundwork Ranch, a nonprofit organization

specializing in equine-assisted therapy and empowerment. At the ranch, trauma survivors and their caregivers experience renewed self-confidence and hope by interacting with horses. Groundwork Ranch was opened in 2010 by Lottie Grimes and Dave Wyner. Grimes and Wyner believed the skills used in training horses were the same skills required for trauma work. “Things happen in horse therapy that take months to accomplish in an office setting,” Grimes said. “People instinctively trust animals more. When I first saw this therapy in action, I was

the ranch. Grimes and Wyner exude a calming presence as they explain the ranch’s purpose, mission and programs. Groundwork Ranch hosts workshops for foster parents, teenagers in foster care, caregivers for dementia or Alzheimer’s disease patients, social workers, and first responders. “We are here to educate and dispel myths regarding trauma and its impact,” Wyner said. While Grimes and Wyner organize the programs, they also surround themselves with other passionate people — all volunteers — who help facilitate the events. The ranch’s herd consists of six horses: Willow, Wren, Loki, Rio, Sol and Raleigh. They function as a semi-wild herd. They selected their leader. They are not highly trained. They are allowed a large measure of autonomy on purpose. Each horse has a past story and their own trauma, but participants do not get to know these details. “We tell the horses’ names,” Wyner said. “But otherwise, workshop attendees know nothing. They must build a relationship with their horse.” At the outset of each workshop, participants choose a horse to work with for the day. “Or more often the horse chooses them,” Grimes said with a smile. Horses are then free to interact, or not. Free to do an action, or not. Free to let a human groom them, or not. “We try to mix up activities we do in each workshop,”

Groundwork Ranch co-founder Lottie Grimes works with Sol by exposing the horse to an unfamiliar and unpredictable object, a PHOTOS COURTESY OF GROUNDWORK RANCH battery-operated toy puppy.

Grimes said. Humans and horses then must learn about each other by testing and vulnerability. Much

like trauma survivors and trauma caregivers must do. During one session of the Ranch’s “Leader of the Herd” workshop for foster parents, Rio refused to move until the participant asked him in a different way. Another participant asked Grimes once which brush to use on her horse. Grimes recalls shrugging and saying, “I can use one type of brush, but you may need to use another type. Let the horse tell you.” Wyner and Grimes intentionally set up their workshops with activities and obstacles for horses and humans to practice safety and security with each other. “You have to be mindful and present,” Grimes said. Leadership becomes vital for participants as they guide their horses. They must stay calm, be confident, and trust themselves. Only then will the horses follow their directions. “You can’t fake it around a horse,” Grimes said. Again, she smiles with insider knowledge. Participants work as a group to achieve a variety of goals with the herd, as well as complete one-onone work with their chosen horse. Lunch usually is then catered by a

local restaurant and served under a group of shady trees. During the break, participants share experiences and decompress. “We always have people exchanging numbers by the end of a session,” Grimes said. Achieving the trust of a 1,000-pound animal results in a major confidence boost. Grimes and Wyner are never surprised when people tell them how the horses have impacted them or reminded them of their own power. “It’s easy to diminish your role as a caregiver,” Wyner said. “But what you get is what you earn.” What Wyner and Grimes are earning is a high success rate from the ranch’s programs. “One hundred percent of the participants in our workshops have said this will change the way they interact with those they care for,” Grimes said. Upcoming events at Groundwork Ranch include the HorsePower workshop for teens in foster care and Leader of the Herd workshop for foster parents.

Oil & gas firm slapped with Colo.’s 2nd-largest state fine ever KP Kauffman has wells in Weld, Adams, Arapahoe counties BY MARK JAFFE THE COLORADO SUN

After concluding that oil and gas operator KP Kauffman Co. had engaged in “a pattern of violations,” fines for the company were boosted to $2 million, the second-largest penalty ever issued by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. In August, the commission levied a $1.8 million fine on the Denverbased company, known as KPK, for 22 violations at seven sites, but at a recent hearing the COGCC staff argued that the company’s failures were not isolated incidents and that an “aggravating” multiplier should be applied. The largest fine, $18.25 million, was issued in 2020 to Occidental Petroleum Corp., the state’s largest operator, for a 2017 house explosion in Firestone that killed two people. Jeremy Ferrin, the commission’s enforcement supervisor, said KPK was “a poster child” for the use of additional enforcement tools such as the multiplier or suspension of operating certificates. “This is a situation where we need to do something.” The five members of the commission unanimously agreed, boosting the fine Sept. 21.

“There was persistent disregard for the commission’s authority on multiple occasions,” Commissioner Priya Nanjappa said. “There was a pattern of violations.” Commissioner John Messner said he “found many of the facts around this hearing to be very disturbing … there were systematic deficiencies.” KPK operates low-producing oil and gas wells on the Front Range, wells mainly acquired from other companies. According to DrillingEdge, KPK has 1,250 wells in Weld County, 125 in Adams County, 53 in Arapahoe County and seven in Elbert County, among others. It has a field office in Fort Lupton. The majority of the wells produce the equivalent of less than a barrel of oil a day, and only five of the company’s wells produce more than 10 barrels a day, according to an analysis by the League of Oil and Gas Impacted Coloradans, or LOGIC, a nonprofit community group. Some of the violations centered on flow lines, which carry oil, gas and water to collection tanks and have been a source of leaks and spills, according to COGCC inspections. One of the violations was for trucking contaminated soil away from a well site and spreading it on a field behind a company office without a permit. The notice of alleged violations, referred to in testimony as NOAVs, for the seven sites followed an order in April to shut 87 wells and clean up 29 sites for violations that includ-

ed fouling farm fields and covering a road with oily waste. Those earlier infractions were not part of the case before the commission this week. In commission testimony over Zoom, Kevin P. Kauffman, 65, KPK’s founder and CEO, said that the collapse of oil prices and the pandemic had hobbled the company’s ability to operate and deal with compliance issues. “We have not performed as well as we might have under these difficult situations,” Kaufman said. He also conceded that relations between KPK and the commission staff have deteriorated. “I am truly sorry.” “We are committed to improving,” Kauffman said. “I hope you will give me a chance to show what an excellent operator KPK can be.” Over the course of the hearing Kauffman and other KPK staff gave a litany of reasons for problems at their sites, including historic

contamination that was there when they took over the properties, other oil and gas operators damaging their flowlines, COGCC not getting back to company requests in a timely manner, and landowners not letting the company onto to their property to correct violations. “It seems that a lot of these situations were somebody else’s problem,” Messner said. “Are you trying to insinuate that the majority of the NOAVs, the spills, these situations are not KPK’s responsibility?” “Without breaking it down,” Kauffman replied, “it is difficult to answer your question.” The commission still has to decide whether to impose other penalties, such as suspending KPK’s certificates of clearance, which allow it to sell its oil and natural gas, and to determine the company’s ability to pay the $2 million fine.

Beloved former high school to be razed Commerce City structure has seen much abuse in years since closing BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Heartbroken but worried about potentially fatal hazards, the Adams 14 school board has made way for the demolition of a beloved former school building that has endured a fire, squatters, and likely a meth lab. Continuing safety threats are so severe that demolishing the old Adams City High School is the best choice, an insurance representative told the board last week. The decision was difficult for members of the board and public who had hoped to realize previous plans to renovate the campus for usable public space. “It’s unfortunate the district in the past hasn’t taken care of these buildings to let them get to this kind of disrepair,” board President Ramona Lewis said. The former high school has been empty since 2009 when the district moved high school students to a new building off of Quebec Parkway. The insurance representative told the school board of vandalism and break-ins over the last 12 years. People who have broken in have destroyed at least 15 pianos

and other school furniture left in the building. This summer, a fire damaged the roof of the building where people were known to break in and have parties. The structure is so unstable that it poses a risk to anyone walking in, officials have determined. Even the insurance representative had trouble getting fire officials to grant him access, he said. “It’s an accident waiting to happen,” the insurance representative told the school board. The former site of Adams City High School on 4525 E. 68th Ave. is next to the district’s newest building, Alsup Elementary School. “You’ve got this situation 50 yards from a brand-new school. It’s just not a safe situation,” the representative said. Lewis said she heard fire department officials say they were concerned that if there were another fire on the site, having to go in to put it out or clear the building would pose a big risk to firefighters. The insurance representative also said that recent tests showed evidence of meth on every indoor surface, likely evidence of a meth lab there at some point. During a visit to evaluate the building, the insurance team, accompanied by city officials, called police on trespassers. Arriving officers said they’ve responded often to the site for break-ins. If someone who tres-

passes onto the property were to get hurt, it could be a liability for the district, the insurance representative told the board. In December 2012, then-superintendent Pat Sanchez announced that after conducting a feasibility study, holding several community forums, and getting board support, the district would demolish part of the campus and renovate another part into space that could be used for teacher training and leased to host meetings. Part of the campus was demolished, but the renovation never happened. Former board member David Rolla said he recalls that it was a cost issue. “We didn’t have enough money,” Rolla said. “It ended up costing more than we thought it would.” Eddie Storz, the district’s executive director of finance, confirmed that due to “a budget imbalance,” the project was put on hold. Board member Connie Quintana, who didn’t join the board until later, recalled that a former operations employee patrolled the buildings at night. But after he passed away, his position went unfilled. “I was deeply concerned about it,” Quintana said. “A lot of the community that grew up here and went to school here will feel really bad about it. But hope-

fully people will understand our concern. We have to make sure everybody is safe around there.” The security director position in the district is one of many top administrative positions that have had a lot of turnover in previous years. New Superintendent Karla Loria told the state board earlier this month that she was hiring a security director, a role that was vacated over the summer and had not yet been filled by MGT, the district’s external management company. School board member Renee Lovato said she’s had meetings recently at the new elementary building, and she’s looked out the window to see people bicycling and walking past the old high school site. “It’s near and dear to a lot of our community members because so many of us graduated from there,” Lovato said. “My parents graduated from there, but I just think at this point it’s in such disarray we have no choice.” Lovato said that while the school demolition is heartbreaking, she wants to “allow it to be usable space that’s not a hindrance and a danger to our community and to our children.” This story is from Chalkbeat Colorado, a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools.

Castle Rock teen gets within feet of $1M Kaden Lebsack treasures experience on ‘American Ninja Warrior’ BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a record-breaking season, Castle Rock teen Kaden Lebsack came up just short of earning the $1 million grand prize as he was the last one standing in the 13th season of “American Ninja Warrior.” Lebsack did win $100,000 for strength and agility. In the Sept. 13 finale, Lebsack continued to shock viewers as he zoomed through Stages 2 and 3 in his quest to have a shot at Stage 4. Lebsack broke the record of not only being the youngest ever to complete Stage 3 but was also the first rookie to do so. “Being the only rookie to ever complete Stage 3, I know I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for my coach, John Maul,” Lebsack said. “He has trained me since I was 10 years old. He has put a lot of time and dedication into my training.” After the Stage 3 competition, Lebsack was the only ninja left standing, earning his opportunity to proceed to Stage 4, where the only thing standing between him and $1 million was a 75-foot rope climb, which he had to do in 30 seconds or less.

Kaden Lebsack said he will always treasure the opportunity to compete on “American COURTESY PHOTO Ninja Warrior.”

With the country watching, Lebsack started the climb quickly, hitting the 30-foot mark, then 40, and then he ran out of steam. Getting near the 50-foot mark, Lebsack

ran out of time, missing becoming a teenage millionaire by about 10 feet. After the show, Lebsack said, “I am super happy to complete Stage

3, but I will not be content until I conquer Stage 4. The rope climb was harder than I thought it was going to be. I really didn’t have a good technique. It will be something I will be working on now.” In the 13th season of “American Ninja Warrior,” Lebsack, at 15, was the first teenage ninja to ever compete on the final stage. This was the first season teenagers were allowed to compete alongside adults. Lebsack outlasted 17 other teenage competitors. Lebsack breezed through the season with ease, showing that the discipline is not about age, but about training. On the finale, Lebsack’s parents Ryan and Brandi said he started wanting to become a ninja when he was 8. The couple opened a training facility in Castle Rock to allow Lebsack to train full time. Ryan said his son has remained dedicated to the dream of becoming a Ninja Warrior, training “like an Olympian.” Lebsack said competing will always be a memorable experience because he was able to compete alongside veteran ninjas whom he has respected for years. “It was amazing to get their support and have them cheering me on,” he said. In looking at the future, Lebsack said he and Stage 4 still have unfinished business, and if the show asks him back, he will return. “I want to compete in Ninja as long as my body allows,” he said.

Denver Hospice provides ‘a group hug’ Chaplain Keith Swingle is celebrated for 25 years of service

Denver Hospice Chaplain Keith Swingle said he attended seminary school because he knew he wanted to serve in ministry in some capacity. He had a friend who did an internship with hospice care, but Swingle didn’t figure that end-oflife care was for him. But upon finishing seminary school, Swingle realized he was cut out to be a hospice chaplain. “It is everything I wanted, in terms of one-on-one — meeting with families on their own turf during a vulnerable and helpful time,” Swingle said, adding it gives him “a chance to make a real difference.” And more than a quarter of a century later, Swingle is still making a difference in peoples’ lives when they need it the most. 25 years with Denver Hospice Swingle has been serving people and families as a hospice chaplain for 28 years this October. Twentyfive of those years have been spent with The Denver Hospice. “His commitment to patients and families goes above and beyond,

president of the nonprofit provider of hospice and palliative care. “Keith can be counted on for his smile and his sense of humor - yes, sense of humor during hospice care. Finding grace and humor is important as we walk this journey.” Egging added that Swingle was the chaplain for her family when her mother-in-law was in hospice. “He was so gracious and kind. He connected with our family and was a great support,” Egging said. “I know first-hand the important role chaplains like Keith contribute during this important time.” Swingle, 54, was born and raised in Ohio. He spent 2-1/2 years serving as a hospice chaplain in Ohio before moving to Colorado. He had friends moving to Colorado, and found the job with The Denver Hospice before making the move. Swingle now lives on Lookout Mountain near Golden. He is married and raising a 14-year-old. With The Denver Hospice, Swingle serves the north metro area out of The Denver Hospice’s Westminster location. The Denver Hospice was established in 1978. As a nonprofit, nobody who needs hospice care will be turned away, Swingle said. The agency serves the entire metro area, with its Inpatient Care Center located at 8299 E. Lowry Blvd. in Denver’s Lowry Field neighborhood. A minister without a church A chaplain is a “minister without a church,” someone who doesn’t represent a specific denomination or particular church, Swingle said. What chaplains do is help people cope with losses, Swingle said. In addition to the loss of a loved one, losses can include a person’s independence, control and role —

or, purpose and meaning of life, Swingle said. “Sometimes, the immediate fam- e ily can’t, or doesn’t know how to, talk about it with their loved one,” Swingle said. That’s where a chaplain can help. Swingle’s visits to patients run the gamut, but the underlying role is to provide a comforting presence. Sometimes, visits are a friendly check-in just to see how the patient doing. Other times, it’s to pray with them. Or, if needed, Swingle will also help with arranging memorial services or connecting a person or their loved ones to a rabbi or Catholic priest. No matter the reason for Swingle’s visit to a particular patient, it’s always a meaningful visit, he said. His goal: to ensure that all hospice patients “feel well-supported, cared for and that we always have time for them.” When people are at end-of-life, they need to feel that they have someone to talk to, said LeRoy Baker, administrator of Broomfield Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. “When people are transitioning, spiritual needs are just as important as physical needs,” Baker added. Hospice care is a team effort, Swingle said. He works in a team setting with Registered Nurse (RN) case workers, Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA), social workers and others. “Keith has always been someone we look up to,” said Rachel Phillips, an RN case manager with The Denver Hospice. “He’s genuine and caring. That’s comforting for the families, but also for us. It’s very calming to have him here.” SEE HOSPICE, P11

‘He does way more than expected’ During the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, Villagio Senior Living — a memory care community in Broomfield — worked with The Denver Hospice to have a dedicated team provide hospice care for its patients. “They acted as if they were our own in-house staff,” said Carisa Brown, the community’s executive director. “The Denver Hospice has been vital to our success.” In addition to tending to patients’ needs, Swingle was sometimes called on to support staff who were struggling or otherwise having a hard time coping, Brown said. But he also helped in ways well beyond the typical roles of a chaplain. A while back, a patient who was in clinical isolation at Villagio received a new bed. It was a hospital bed, with all the gadgets, said Tia Abeyta, the wellness director for Villagio. “This was during the period of time (of the pandemic) when only nurses and CNAs were allowed in,” Abeyta said. “So the equipment company couldn’t come in to assemble it.” Swingle happened to be there that day, so he geared up in full personal protective equipment to help Abeyta assemble the bed, and they were able to get it put together for the patient. “He does way more than expected,” Abeyta said.

‘Our dog approved’ David and Alissa Newman of Lakewood had a large Husky dog named Dazbog when David, who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in August 2017, started hospice care. While friendly, the dog was never into cuddling. But, on Swingle’s first home visit with the couple, Dazbog went right up to Swingle and greeted him. And the next thing you knew, David said, Swingle had a 70-pound dog sitting on his lap. “That’s how we knew we liked Keith,” Alissa said. “Our dog approved.” David Newman is a 34-year-old Army veteran. He enlisted in October 2005, and did two tours in Afghanistan. He grew up in the Lake-

wood area, and upon return from the Army, he decided to study engineering at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. He and Alissa met at a CrossFit gym while she was also attending CSU. David’s original prognosis was 14 months, “so we’ve had much more time,” Alissa said, adding they take every day one at a time. David emphasized how fortunate he feels to have Alissa as his wife. Alissa cared for her husband at home until the recent COVID-19 restrictions on visitations to care facilities eased. “It’s been different than getting to see him every day,” she said. But the two video-chat frequently, and Alissa visits in-person as often as she can,

between work and her graduate studies. “Dave and I are fortunate to have support groups.” However, while grateful for it, with all that support comes something that has been particularly challenging for Alissa — the management of everyone who has offered to help, she said. The Denver Hospice treats people like people, not patients, Alissa said. David’s care team relieves her from what she calls the “mental gymnastics” of managing all of her husband’s needs. “It’s such a resource to have someone to talk with about spiritual stuff, (and) a hospice team taking care of him,” Alissa said. “It’s like a group hug. I felt, and continue to feel, so supported.”

VOICES Biden’s infrastructure plan is too much

resident Biden’s $3.5 trillion social spending package is not the way to go. Certainly, the $1 trillion infrastructure funding package is long overdue and much needed throughout America’s deteriorating infrastructure systems. There has been way too much foot-dragging in Congress for too long a period of time on how to fund highway maintenance and construction, beefing up the national electrical grid, water and sewer replacements and public transit improvements, to name a few components. Congress needs to get on with authorization of the “Build Back Better” package and put the funding in motion. Construction jobs pay well, and America needs to get jobs filled and people back on payrolls, the sooner the better. It’s bigger than the New Deal or the Great Society The $3.5 trillion funding plan is way too much of a Christmas tree with something for everyone. It covers economic measures, education, social welfare, climate change and

foreign policy. First, the plan needs to be pared back to a more reasonable proportioned package. This mentality of solving every social problem right now may sound good, but America simply cannot afford it. Moderation is the word and practice

to be used. Secondly, Congress and the president need to be more cognizant of the debt that has been piling up. As a nation, we have been on a spending spree too long, and now is not the time to crank it up even higher. One newspaper op-ed cited Biden’s joint proposals as the equivalent to President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal all in one big scoop. Our country’s leaders need to be more diligent in not loading up the national debt for our children and grandchildren to pay. Finally, the idea of simply funding the same programs as in the

past is short-sighted. Things have changed so much even before the pandemic. Thoughtful analysis and on-the-ground awareness of the needs of those who are living in poverty or homeless or without employment or with food insecurity should first be done with retooling programs based on the findings of such an updating effort. Will it happen or not? Having outlined the $1.0 trillion infrastructure package and the massive $3.5 trillion social cradleto-grave social funding package, the whole effort may be moot. Between the Republicans and the progressive Democrats, none of this may come to fruition. President Biden’s legacy may go up in smoke. We shall see in the coming days and weeks. Come learn about the city candidates It’s time to gather and learn about what each candidate stands for as well as what they are not supporting. Although there have been one or two forums previously, we are now in the home stretch with

roughly one month to go to the Nov. 2 elections. I have checked with staff from Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster to see what is on the radar. So far, only two forums have been announced. One is with the Westminster mayoral and council candidates. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, Oct. 13. The Westminster Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the forum from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Westminster City Council Chambers. Attendees will need to register online at no cost. It will be in person. A second Westy chamber-sponsored event, which will be virtual Saturday, Oct. 16, runs from 10 a.m. to noon. Check the chamber’s website for details. The ThorntonNorthglenn Rotary Club is hosting a Northglenn candidates’ forum on the same date at 6:30 p.m. at the brand-new Parsons Theatre. It is open to the public at no cost.

The 5 C’s for retaining top talent starts with connection

his is the first in a five-part series on best practices for attracting, hiring and keeping top talent. Over the next several weeks we WINNING will explore the 5 C’s that can help us WORDS better understand our employees and team members and how we can create a top performing organization that attracts the very best people. Those 5 C’s are ConnecMichael Norton tion; Collaboration; Change; Consistency; and Culture. In a recent review of why people leave their jobs and looking at results from across multiple industries and organizations, it seems like the notion that people are leaving jobs only because of a better earning potential elsewhere is not entirely accurate. Sure, everyone would like to earn as much as possible, but no longer are they willing to work in conditions or situations that are not in alignment with personal preferences, expectations and goals. Nor do they want to work in a place that makes them miserable.

Money is certainly a motivator, but depending on the data or source, money typically is a lower priority or reason that inspires someone to leave their current position. When we look closely at the current rate of job openings and the difficulty companies are having filling key positions, we might find the solution in the first C, “Connection,” when it comes to attracting and retaining top performers and the future leaders of our organizations. When I look at company websites and interview current employees and leadership, I look for ways that the company connects team members at every level with the goals and objectives of the organization. Every business is in business to provide goods, service or solutions to their clients. The question I like to ask is this, “Is everyone on the team connected to the impact that the products or services provide to the client?” And whatever their role is, the next question is, “Do they feel a sense of ownership, accomplishment and fulfillment regardless of how big or small their contribution?” Creating connection means that we help our team members

know that their work matters and is connected to the overall success of the company, their coworkers, the customers, the customer’s customer and the community. A strong desire to be connected to the community is something that we are seeing more and more of these days. I try and determine if there is a community connection that goes beyond the walls or virtual walls of the business. Do they come together for a local, national or global cause? Do they have programs in place to provide volunteer opportunities to serve others, including coworkers or team members who may need assistance? And although we are living in a virtual world, does the company make a strong effort in team-building? Why does connection matter so much? For the most part, we all want to be connected to something that we truly believe contributes to the greater good. We want our work to matter. And when we can do it in such a way that we are proud of where we work, proud of our teammates and proud of the product or service we offer, that feeling of connection cements us together. It forms a bond that connects our

Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads and along those these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.” — Herman Melville Start asking your team if they feel connected. Then ask them how important feeling connected is to their job and role satisfaction. The answers may surprise you. And if it turns out that “Connection” is important, you still have time to make changes before you lose another very talented person from your team. How about you? Do you value “Connection”?

New mobile notary comes to town BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the pandemic hit, Terry Young’s goal was to help people and make a difference for the community. The Forever Young Mobile Notary celebrated its ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Brighton Chamber of Commerce to help the communities with a mobile notary service. “The effects of pandemic I saw in himself and others. So, with my background and experience I wanted to do something to help others,” said Young. Young is a native of Seattle. He and his wife, Linda, moved

to Colorado in 1995 and on to the Brighton area in 2000. He was an ethics professor with Colorado Technical University. After retirement, he volunteered for several organizations. He decided to re-invent himself and become a notary. “Being a notary and a mobile notary seemed to make sense for me. Rather than forcing people to come out of their homes during these stay-at-home order times, I could go to them and make life a little bit easier,” Terry Young said. Mayor Greg Mills came to the ceremony to meet Young and welcome him to Brighton.

informative events. We need an informed electorate when voting on the issues and the candidates. Forcing the voters’ hands on ballot issues Westminster voters will have to decide if they want more debt when voting on two of the eight city ballot questions. The public safety sales and use tax is proposed to be increased 0.15 of 1 percent without any time limit (no sunset). Voters will be voting whether to increase this tax accordingly for police, fire and emergency medical operations. I believe there is a good case to support this tax increase, which city staffers say will generate at least $5 million annually. However, since the debt question is directly tied to the tax increase, between $1.275 million and $1.5 million each year would be taken out of the estimated $5 million in new revenue for debt service. So, that leaves $3.5 million to $3.725 million annually for additional personnel, salary increases, additional equipment purchases and rolling stock. Twenty-five million in new debt for what? The other part of the public safety tax question is whether to authorize up to $25 million in new debt. Unfortunately, the city manager and city council chose to leave

In testimony, company officials said KPK could not even pay half of the proposed fine. KPK is already dealing with a a $3.5 million settlement with federal and state air quality regulators over emission violations from its tanks that included $2.5 million in equipment upgrades and a $1 million civil penalty. “Enhancing already steep penalties will not achieve the [goals] we want to achieve,” Kirk Mueller, an attorney for KPK told the commission. A majority of the commission appeared to agree. “I want to see compliance, this is more important to me than the penalties,” Commis-

“I think it’s important to have this kind of service, and a lot of folks that are in a vulnerable population right now feel like they may not be able to go out. They can choose to have this service come to them,” said Mills. Young’s plans for the future are pretty simple. “Stay busy enough and be helpful to make it a benefit for both myself and the community,” said Young.

us in the dark on what the bond issue proceeds would be used for. I previously speculated that it would be used for a new municipal court facility. However, that is speculation on my part. It begs the question why didn’t the council challenge the staff and do two separate questions on the ballot? They have forced the voting taxpayers’ hands to be all in or vote no. This is not a stand-up, transparent approach to governing. Same dilemma with parks and Open Space tax ballot issue In the same fashion, the city manager, city attorney and city council are forcing the voters to vote in the dark. The tax rate remains the same, but the proposal would extend the existing 0.25 of 1% sales and use tax to the end of 2041. Previously, voters had authorized the tax to the end of 2032. By adding nine more years on the tax, it allows the city to issue new debt against this 20-year revenue stream. The new debt would be up to $15 million, but it is anyone’s guess how the funds would be used. While the ballot is silent on specific ways bond funds would be used, there have been statements by some councilmembers that the bond authorization would allow more open space to be purchased quickly. However, based on past practices staff has used parks and Open Space tax revenues at the two city golf courses, among other uses. Separate ballot issues is the right way to do it sioner Bill Gonzalez said. Messner proposed suspending part of the penalty pending completion of a remediation plan with tight deadlines. The hearing was adjourned until October to give KPK and COGCC staff time to work out a proposed remediation plan. Commission Chairman Jeff Robbins will oversee the negotiations. “We have a very bright future,” Kauffman said, “if the commission will allow.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

On the bond authorizing language for both the public safety tax and the parks and Open Space tax, bond authorization language should be separate ballot issues. Furthermore, the ballot language should specify how the bond proceeds will be used. This approach of forcing the voters’ hands and let’s keep them in the dark modus operandi is so typical of this city administration and, at times, the vast majority

of the city council. Once again, it is a good, clear example that it is time to clean house. I am voting no on both issues and say, “Come back and do it the right way.” Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Arts centers, other programs can bridge gaps BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

eemingly ever-rising levels of political polarization — particularly amid issues of the coronavirus pandemic — may be wearing on Coloradans, but one place where all of that can melt away is at an art performance on stage. That’s according to Marcus Turner, a staff member at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities. With “the arts, by their very nature — especially the performing arts, where you’re sitting in a space and experiencing something, whether it’s music or theater — you are, in that moment, having a shared experience with the people around you,” Turner said. The arts can be a force for “bridging people and making connections for people who may not think the same,” Turner added. Local arts centers are a presence in cities and towns across the Denver metro area, from Evergreen to Aurora to Parker. They’re places where crowds can see a play, catch a concert, or even — at some centers

— hone their own art skills with a painting or dance class. But arts programs also play a deeper role in their communities. “There’s a lot more to this world than just our politics, and a lot of times, the way you get to people is through other ways: through music, through art, through dance,” said Abraham Ramirez, president of the Commerce City Cultural Council. Dialogue and connection For Ramirez, who was born and raised in Commerce City, demographic changes were the motivation to serve on his local arts and culture organization. Two of Commerce City’s large

demographic groups were Japanese Americans and white residents after World War II until around the mid-1960s, according to Ramirez. Now, in what he calls “core Commerce City,” roughly between 88th and 56th avenues, there is a substantial Hispanic population. “Whereas when I was growing up, it was not,” said Ramirez, 68. As he observed the changing demographics, he thought getting involved in the arts scene would be a “great opportunity to show people all the different cultures we do have here,” Ramirez said. While the city’s Cultural Council — a nonprofit body — doesn’t operate an arts center, it works to coordinate “culturally diverse

events” such as the annual Music in the Park summer concert series and Commerce City Eats Week, a weeklong celebration of local cuisine, according to the city’s website. The Cultural Council also administers public art in the city. At an event, a “Latin band played ranchero music — upbeat sound, boom-boom-boom bass kind of sound. I had a couple sitting there, they’re German, and they said, ‘We love this polka music they’re playing,’” Ramirez laughed. “To me, that’s what it’s all about.” Turner, the director of communications and audience services at the Arvada Center, said arts centers can provide opportunities for dialogue and connection. The Arvada Center has taken steps to foster dialogue in audiences through “talkbacks” with actors or through surveys. Talkbacks are akin to a question-and-answer session — after performances of some plays, the actors are made available to the audience, at least before the coronavirus pandemic, Turner said.

Digging for history at Golden’s Astor House

rchaeology isn’t all holy grails and temples of doom — there’s also community archaeology, which focuses on members of the COMING community explorATTRACTIONS ing the stories of people who lived their lives in the same places they do. And it is a particular interest for Dr. Michele Koons, who recently co-led an investigation into a Golden landmark — The Astor Clarke Reader House. “I’m very passionate about doing community archaeology and bringing these stories to life so we can appreciate them,” Koons, an archeologist with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, said. “I love pulling back the curtain and seeing the lives of the people who didn’t write everything down so it could be read later.” The study of the Astor House site was done in partnership with the Foothills Art Center, Colorado State University, University of Denver, University of Colorado Denver, Colorado School of Mines, Community College of Denver, Statistical Research Inc. and Metcalf Archaeological Consultants. It was launched as part of the Foothills Art Center’s plans to restore the house and turn into an arts hub. According to provided information, the team used ground-penetrating radar and old fire insurance maps as part of their

process, which helped them decide where to dig and how to approach the project. The Astor House opened in 1867 and operated as a boarding house and hotel for 104 years. So, it’s not all that surprising that the excavation — which was also led by Amy Gillaspie and made up of volunteers — turned up a great deal of items related to human habitation and recreation. The finds include coins from the late 1800s, a Grand Army of the Republic fraternal order pin (showing dates 1860 through 1866) and items associated with food consumption, like ceramic dishes and bones related to the hotel kitchen. “From this we can see the movement of people through the area and that, just like today, Golden was a hub for people to come and spend time,” Koons said. “People are people and always doing the same things, like gathering in a great place to be. Clearly they thought Golden was that place then and think it now.” Analysis of the discovered materials is still under way, but once all that is wrapped up, the items will be catalogued and become part of the Golden History Museum’s collections. And there is still an interest in collecting stories from people who spent time at the Astor House when it was still in operation. “We live in such an ‘immediate gratification’ culture, that the ideas of who lived before us and what they were doing is really important to remember,” Koons said. “We get so caught up in the moment we’re in

right now, but there were so many people living before us. I think we should reflect on their lives and bring their stories to the public.” Follow @DenverMuseumNS, @ Dr.Michele.Koons and @astorhousearchaeologyproject on Instagram for project updates and visit www. goldenhistory.org for other historic activities.

joy and inspiration,” he added. The range of emotional connection to the arts “creates a tapestry in a community and in the world, frankly, that would be missed if gone but sometimes is not acknowledged as being there,” Turner said.

said in a 2019 interview. “If you’re a citizen of Centennial, you don’t identify Centennial with any kind of arts. And that’s a major part of a city. I’ve always thought we should have a foundation here about arts.” The new foundation in Centennial says its mission is “to celebrate, inspire, and connect art and culture in Centennial.” “CACF is actively engaging and exploring opportunities for art placements in Centennial,” the news release said. “This includes community events, working with our arts community, and researching how best to commemorate the rich history of our city and our region.”

A driver in communities Another reason arts programming is a staple in communities: The arts are an “economic engine” in the Denver metro area, which drives governments and individuals to invest in arts, Turner said. More economic prosperity and a higher rate of economic development tend to mark regions and communities that have arts presences, he added. “The other more fluffy, touchyfeely reason” why communities promote art is that “arts are good for the soul,” Turner said with a laugh. He said arts can “enrich a person’s life” in general. “The truth is: The world would continue to spin if the arts didn’t exist. (But) what kind of world would that be?” Turner said. People would miss out on “beauty, hope, sadness,

An arts newcomer Despite the long list of foundations and other entities related to the arts in the Denver suburbs, Centennial has stepped into the arts arena too, announcing the formation of the Centennial Arts and Cultural Foundation. It’s a nonprofit whose initial efforts are being led by Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko and City Councilmembers Tammy Maurer and Kathy Turley, according to an August news release. Randy Pye, Centennial’s first mayor and a founder of the city, has long felt Centennial should be more involved in the arts. “We never approached the arts. We left that to other cities,” Pye

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Leon Bridges at Mission Ballroom and Red Rocks For fans of vintage soul — music that hearkens back to the past without being derivative – it doesn’t get much better than Leon Bridges. The man is about as smooth as it gets, but don’t mistake all that style for no substance — songs like “River” and “Sweeter” — show a man in touch with the times on a deep level. Bridges can play big spaces and intimate clubs, and he’ll be doing a bit of both with two shows this week. The first will be at 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 4, at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver, and the second at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 6, at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, in Morrison.

Colo.’s hospitals have bent, but not broken, during new COVID surge The state’s relatively high vaccination rate is one reason BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Nearly 19 months in, these are some of the toughest days for Colorado hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic. Even as the latest surge in coronavirus hospitalizations appears to have plateaued — what state epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy recently called an “unstable equilibrium” — hospitals across Colorado have still been scrambling to add criticalcare beds and some have been postponing non-emergent surgeries in order to free up space. As of Sept. 23, Colorado had a scant 148 ICU beds available statewide and 28% of hospitals were expecting to experience a staff shortage within the next week. Hospital leaders speak of staff burnout, of trouble keeping employees when lucrative gigs as traveling nurses to COVID hotspots abound. Despite the renewed — and exhausting — strain on the system, things in Colorado are nowhere near as bad as they are in other parts of the country. Amid crushing waves of delta variant-driven coronavirus infections, hospitals statewide in Idaho are operating under “crisis standards of care” — essentially rationing care because COVID cases have so overwhelmed the available resources. Some hospitals in Alaska and Montana have done the same. The governor of Wyoming called in the National Guard to his state’s hospitals. “We are very, very full, and are concerned right now,” said Dan Weaver, the vice president for communications at UCHealth. “But we are not at the level of some of those hospitals in other states.” How has Colorado been able to avoid the hospital horror of other Western states? State health leaders point to two factors.

First, Colorado’s vaccination rate makes a big difference. In the Mountain West, Colorado has the second-highest vaccination rate in the region, behind only New Mexico. Put another way, of all the landlocked U.S. states, Colorado’s fully vaccinated rate is third-best. As of Sept. 23, nearly 60% of people in Colorado are fully immunized against COVID-19. (This figure is for the entire population, including kids too young to be vaccinated.) In Wyoming, the rate is only about 41%. And there is a clear connection between vaccination status and hospitalization. On Sept. 23, 80% of those hospitalized in Colorado with COVID-19 were unvaccinated against the disease, according to state data. Scott Bookman, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s incident commander for the pandemic, pointed to the vaccination rate as the No. 1 reason that Colorado hospitals have not exceeded their capacity during the latest surge. “The reason our hospitals are doing better than hospitals in many other states is simply because our vaccination rates are so high in Colorado,” he said. The other factor working in Colorado’s favor is that it has a lot more hospital beds than neighboring states. Prior to the pandemic, Colorado hospitals had been on a building binge — sometimes building new hospitals in already well-served areas where critics said they weren’t needed. As of 2019, Colorado had more than 10,600 hospital beds in the state, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health care think tank. Utah, for comparison, had only about 5,600 beds. Hospital leaders defended all the construction by saying that the state was growing and that the capacity would come in handy, even if hospital beds sat empty at first. “You can’t build a highway system for a Sunday morning,” Katherine Mulready, the Colorado Hospital Association’s chief strategy officer, said at a forum in January 2019,

right before the pandemic struck and while hospital costs were under intense scrutiny at the state legislature. “You have to build it for rush hour.” On a per capita basis, Colorado’s hospital capacity isn’t all that impressive. Again using 2019 figures, the Kaiser Family Foundation calculated that Colorado had 1.85 hospital beds for every 1,000 people, among the lowest rates in the nation. But many Colorado hospitals, pre-pandemic, had also positioned themselves as regional health centers, often treating patients from far-flung areas of neighboring states as well as those from Colorado. This meant some hospitals placed an emphasis on flexibility, creating an accordion-like ability to expand rapidly when needed. “We are grateful for every hospital bed that we have and we are fortunate that we have systems that have built up for surge capacity, pre-COVID,” said Cara Welch, a Colorado Hospital Association spokeswoman. Out-of-state patients don’t appear to be contributing much to Colorado hospitals’ COVID burden Elsewhere in the U.S., case surges in one state have sometimes spilled over to create problems in another. The New York Times recently reported on how Idaho’s COVID explosion is having consequences for neighboring Washington state, where transfers of Idaho patients are rapidly filling hospitals. At best, it’s unclear how much this is happening in Colorado. On Sept. 22, Herlihy pointed to packed hospitals in Larimer and Weld counties and said it’s possible that cases from Wyoming are contributing to the crowding. (The state does not track residency status of hospitalized patients.) “That certainly could be part of what we’re seeing right now,” she said. But the major operators of hospitals in northern Colorado said they are not seeing many out-of-state patients. At UCHealth, which has three hospitals in Larimer and Weld counties, out-of-state patients appear to be adding very little to the capacity crunch. Weaver said only about 1% to 2% of the COVID patients hospitalized across the UCHealth system are from out-of-state. “The vast, vast majority of our

patients are from Colorado,” he said. Banner Health, which operates several hospitals across Northern Colorado, said the same. “Our hospitals are extremely busy with very sick COVID and non-COVID patients,” Sara Quale, a Banner spokeswoman, wrote in an email. “We are running at or over normal capacity in our three (Northern Colorado) hospitals. This week we had fewer than five patients from other states out of about 220 patients hospitalized with us.” Just because Colorado hospitals aren’t as strained as those elsewhere in the country, it doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering right now. Hospitals in the HealthOne system, such as Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center in Denver and The Medical Center of Aurora, have seen COVID-19 patient admissions triple over the past 30 days, a spokeswoman said. About a third of those admitted need to be treated in the intensive care unit, and about half of those in the ICU are on ventilators. But, the spokesman said, ICU capacity at HealthOne hospitals remains stable and the facilities have not had to convert additional spaces into makeshift intensive-care wards. Centura Health, which operates hospitals such as St. Anthony Hospital, is seeing its highest level of ventilator use of the entire pandemic — though ventilators are used by more than just COVID patients. And just about every hospital says staffing is a much bigger challenge than having an adequate number of beds available to take in new patients. Centura has been “flexing” staffing across its various hospitals and clinics, to make sure it has workers where it needs them most. Other hospitals have been hiring temporary traveling nurses, who come at a high cost during the pandemic. “Staffing is definitely still the concern everywhere,” said Welch, the Colorado Hospital Association spokeswoman. “The beds are there; the staff are not.”

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 1

this is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Well, a huge chunk of the unvaccinated statewide are kids — either those too young to be eligible for vaccination or those who are eligible but haven’t gotten the shot. Since school started in mid-tolate August, Colorado kids ages 6 to 11 and ages 12 to 17 have had the highest coronavirus case rates in the state. For 12-17 year olds, an age group where kids are eligible for vaccination, infection rates rival the peaks of last winter. For 6 to 11 year olds, who are not yet eligible for vaccination, these are the highest infection rates they’ve seen during the pandemic. Parents of kids in this age group received likely welcome news this week when the drug company Pfizer announced promising results in its tests of the vaccine for children ages 5 to 11 and indicated it would soon seek authorization for the vaccine to be administered widely. Kids who are generally not yet school age, those up to age 5, have the lowest infection rates in the state. The picture looks a little different at the local level in Colorado’s largest counties. Some counties have infection rates among school-aged kids that are more than double the infections rates in others. Among the state’s 10 largest counties, Weld County has the highest rates for kids ages 6 to 17. El Paso and Larimer counties follow closely

behind. On the lower end are Boulder and Denver, each with case rates among school-aged kids that are less than half of Weld County’s. One of the big points that state health officials hoped to get across during the Sept. 23 briefing is the importance of getting vaccinated. Counties with higher vaccination rates among school-aged kids are generally the ones with lower case rates. Weld County, for instance, has the second-lowest vaccination rate for kids ages 12 to 17 among the state’s 10 biggest counties — around 40%. Boulder, which has a vaccination rate around 70% for kids 12 to 17 has the second-lowest case rate. “We see this clear correlation between high vaccination rates and low case rates, and that’s true not just for the adult population but also holding true for our children,” Herlihy said. “So this could certainly be one reason that we are seeing differences in pediatric rates across the state right now.” Lastly, CPDHE looked at ageadjusted case rates for kids in 48 school districts, split into two groups by whether the districts are requiring masks in schools. Case rates among the two groups tracked pretty closely until lateAugust, around the time when school started. Rates increased for both groups after that, but with a twist: Districts not requiring masks saw faster growth in cases and hit a higher peak than districts requiring masks. By mid-September, case rates in the non-masking districts were significantly higher — about 20% higher — than the rates in the

Tigers making a run for softball postseason BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Holy Family High School is making a claim to repeat as state 4A softball champions in 2021. Through last week, the Tigers were 14-3, 4-0 in the Northern Colorado Athletic Conference. “I’m not so much surprised but rather pleased with how far the girls have come since the beginning of the season and how hard they have worked to get to this point,” said coach Moriah Nguyen. “The mindset of the entire team completely changed from the beginning of the season to most recently, which has most definitely contributed to our record. The girls, especially our younger girls, have grown immensely and have been working extremely hard to contribute to the team’s success. They have stepped up for their teammates and seniors so far this

season.”

Seniors Annika Manzanares (.519 batting average through 17 games), Ava Kuszak (.500 batting average through 15 games) and Abby Edwards (.481 batting average through 16 games) are leading the offense. Edwards tops the squad in RBIs with 19. Kuszak has driven in 17. Freshman Isabella Arroyo is batting .571 through 13 games. Five of her 20 hits – including two home runs – are for extra bases. “From the very beginning of the year and after having meetings with the team, it was crucial for them to know that we are not the same team as last year, but that we also can’t have the mindset of just because we are young, that it’s OK to not compete,” Nguyen said. “Once we overcame this mindset, we began to realize that we have a special group of athletes and if we are willing to work hard and do

the little things right; do the hard things, then we will be successful this season.” Nguyen said everyone on the team has made a contribution this season. She singled out one pitcher, too. “Our freshman pitcher, Isabella Arroyo, has been exceptional in working hard and competing with

top level teams, alongside the rest of our younger crew and especially our seniors, who have trusted the process and are excited to be where we are now,” Nguyen said. The regional tournament is Saturday, Oct. 16. The state tournament is Friday and Saturday, oct. 22 and 23, at Aurora Sports Park. “The only surprise I would mention for this season is the determination and grit that my younger girls have developed since the beginning of the year,” Nguyen said. “It was hard to know where we’d be at this point in the year, but our team has really grown and learned to trust in one another through this process so far. “This group was a group that never played together before, aside from our seniors, and yet they still battled through the adversity and are determined to come out on top.” Holy Family hosts Windsor at 3 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 30.

Legacy pushing toward softball postseason BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s looking fairly easy to say “what a difference a year makes” to the Legacy High School softball team. A year ago, the Legacy High School softball team compiled a 9-8 record and advanced to the first round of postseason. This year, the Lightning, rated No. 3 in the class 5A MaxPreps softball polls, was riding a seven-game winning streak (through the end of last week), including a 16-0 win over Poudre. Coach Dawn Gaffney isn’t sur-

prised. “Not at all,” she said. “These athletes have been working hard on their softball skills, softball IQ and their personal relationships with their teammates for two to three years. Our coaching staff has challenged them every day of each season, and this season is just culmination of the hard work these athletes have put in and how it all fits together for success. “They are working to ‘learn’ vs wanting to win or fighting not to lose.” Gaffney added. “They are working to improve, to progress.” Gaffney said there was nothing specific that contributed to a 14-3

record through Sept. 22. “All things above must exist to be successful at anything you do in life,” Gaffney said. “That’s our focus. I feel blessed to be a member of this group of coaches and athletes.” Gaffney knew when to start focusing on the 2021 season. “The last out of our state tournament game in 2020,” she said. “We took the good, learned from the things we need to improve and the team polishes skills daily, asking questions, striving to be better.” This year’s roster includes seniors Kendall Aragon, Leah Connor, Mansur Reese and Janessa

Esquibel. She has authored three no-hitters this season. Still, Gaffney wasn’t relying on people who weren’t necessarily on her radar when practice began last month. “The team is a group of young ladies who rely on each other at all times,” Gaffney said. “Many play three to four positions and have done so at all practices and some games. It’s like a ‘next person up’ type mentality at any given position. “This is an amazing group of young ladies. Just amazing.” The Lightning play at Fossil Ridge at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2. Regional play is Saturday, Oct. 16.
