Size matters for Northglenn police board Councilors settle on 13 for number of seats on advisory group

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn’s City Councilors made it clear that they were all on board with creating a new police advisory group at their Nov. 2 meeting.

Where they differed was how big the new board should be.

“This is long overdue,” City Councilor Antonio Esquibel said. “Like everyone else, I’m very excited to see it come to be; the transparency piece, the community involvement piece, the education pieces and all this will continue for years, long after you and I are gone.”

City Councilors in September agreed to create a permanent oversight board to monitor the Northglenn Police Department and weigh in on policies. Councilors heard an update at their Nov. 2 meeting on the new Police-Community Advisory Board. They’re planned to vote on the board at their Nov. 23 and Dec. 14, interviewing applicants in January and February. The new group’s first meetings and community listening sessions are tentatively scheduled for March and April.

The new board is part of Northglenn’s response to a report on the police department the city commissioned late in December 2019 after the city paid an $8.75 million settlement stemming from a 2017 officerinvolved shooting. It was the largest use of force settlement in Colorado’s history.

The city hired consultants BerryDunn to review the department’s operations and write the report in the wake of that settlement. The 391-page document and an executive summary are available in PDF format on www. northglenn.org, the City’s website.

The report outlined a list of recommended changes, include to adopt a new co-production philosophy.

Voters return Henry, Tedesco Adams County seats Democrats retain hold on commission as Baca wins District 5 seat

Size matters According to May, the new advisory board would have 11 members, including one youth, a resident from each of Northglenn’s four wards, three members from community groups like churches, schools or mental health agencies and three members from public safety. One of the three would be a member of the Fraternal Order of Police, one a non-command member of the Police Department and the third would be a staff member from North Metro Fire and Rescue District.

Adams County Democrats retained their firm hold on county positions, returning two incumbents to their County Commission roster and adding a new member.

“It’s like I tell everybody, we might all be Democrats but we are like one large family,” said Eva Henry, the returning commissioner for District 1. “We are one large bickering family. We all have the same values, but we have different was of doing it. It means we still flesh out our policies pretty thoroughly.”

Voters gave Henry a comfortable 19% margin, besting Republican Skinny Walker 131,002 votes to his 89,534 votes.

In the county’s District 2, Democrat Chaz Tedesco claimed a 40 percent victory over his opponent, James Treibert of the Unity Party. Tedesco claimed 138,958 votes to Treibert’s 57,025 votes.

Former Brighton City Councilor Lynn Baca, a Democrat, claimed 124,860 votes to Republican Philip Covarubias’ 93,533 votes. Baca looks to replace commissioner Mary Hodge,

‘Tip of the spear’ Police Chief Jim May said he’s excited to get started. The goals of the new board are to bring police and the community together, get rid of secrecy and empower residents to help shape Northglenn’s public safety services going forward, May said. It should improve trust among residents, which will help reduce crime, and improve racial diversity and equity, he said.

“It’s a new approach that builds on our strengths,” May said. “We have a strong community police philosophy and foundation here in Northglenn and this just takes us to the next level. It’s going to be transformational and neighboring communities are going to look at what we are doing in Northglenn. I consider us to be the tip of the spear when it comes to the future and how we provide service for our communities.”

Community Co-Production Policing is a step beyond Community Oriented Policing. That philosophy works to build a relationship between police and residents of the community, encouraging officers to build strategies to fix the roots of crime by working with residents.

The co-production philosophy was created in the wake of the 2014 shoot-

ing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. and it gives the residents a say in how the department operates.

Northglenn’s co-production model would create a policing board, a group of city officials and Northglenn residents that could review department policies and procedures, recruiting and hiring new officers, keeping current staff, and reviewing staff training, professional standards and internal affairs.

It would a permanent board authorized through a City Council ordinance supported by consultants BerryDunn, the chief and other staff.

Curfew called to dull rising COVID-19 cases

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As COVID-19 cases in Adams County continue rising, Tri-County Health Department issued a 10 p.m. curfew, part of a broader health order, effective Nov. 7.

“This new order is really a 5-alarm call to action, like an evacuation in the face of a wildfire,” Tri-County Health Executive Director John Douglas wrote in a statement. “The curfew essentially means that unless you are an essential worker or have an urgent reason to be out, everyone should be in their homes from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.”

The new order also includes limits on spectators at sporting events, limits restaurants to parties of six and encourages them to put time limits on customers.

This latest health order is scheduled to be in place through Dec. 7.

“The restrictions might seem uncomfortable, but we believe that they are one of our last best hopes to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community without the necessity of Adams County moving to the Stay at Home orders that we had in the spring,” Douglas said. “That really depends on all of us adhering to public health advice and orders and not interacting with small or large groups of people outside of our households. The truth can be tiresome and inconvenient, but it really is in the hands of all of us to work together to stop the spread.”

COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Adams County while more residents are expected to be hospitalized.

As of Nov.5, there were 17,107 known positive cases in Adams County with a two-week incidence rate of 797 per 100,000 population, and a test positivity rate of 12.7%.

A Big Wheel

Testing models estimate that as many as 1.2% of Adams County residents are infected with COVID-19 currently, presenting a substantial risk of transmission to others, according to Tri-County Health.

Hospitalization rates are steadily increasing, with a hospital admission rate of 2.4 per 100,000 per week as of Nov. 5.

That is the highest rate for Adams County since early April, according to the health agency’s statement.

“We are at an extremely critical point in this pandemic, with much at stake, if we don’t stop the spread of this virus,” Adams County Commission chair Emma Pinter said. “The well-being of our community - our businesses, our schools, our economic vitality - lies in the hands of every single person in Adams County.”

New rules According to the new order, all spectators are banned from sporting events, including high school games.

The curfew allows employees of critical businesses to out in public between 10 a.m. and 5 a.m. but requires all others to be off the streets or away from any public place. Essential jobs include health care, public safety, food service, news media and public transportation workers — among others.

The order requires restaurants be closed to in-person service but does allow delivery and order pickups. Like restaurants, bars and tavern must be closed at 10 p.m. daily and the must limit patrons to parties of six comprised of two households or fewer.

Businesses, including critical and noncritical employers, are urged to adopt telework policies for operations that can be done remotely or other policies that let employees work from home.

Board members would be required to attend a Citizens’ Police Academy and would meet regularly.

But Councilor Jenny Willford noted that Northglenn residents could become the minority on the board. Only five positions, the youth seat and the four Ward seats, would be guaranteed to go to Northglenn residents. The remaining six could go to people that work in Northglenn but live elsewhere.

“I would be really sad if we end up in a situation in which we have all of the residents with one opinion and everyone else with a separate opinion,” Wilford said. “I guess I was looking to see more residents included, instead of fewer.”

Esquibel said he favored expanding the new board by four people, selecting two residents from each ward.

“What is the difference between, 11 or 15, you know?“ Esquibel said.

“You’ll probably have a few people absent from each meeting anyway, so you’ll be in the ballpark.”

Mayor Meredith Leighty advised against having too many people on the board.

“The difference between 11 and 15 is a lot, actually,” Leighty said. “It’s four people, but it’s a lot to manage when you are trying to bring people together. So I hear what people are saying about having more resident input.”

Councilors Julie Duran Mullica suggested having at-large members from the community and perhaps doing away with some of the community group members and Councilor Ashley Witkovich suggested simply adding two at-large members from the community.

Overall, the group agreed that could work.

“That would make 13 members, just adding two more resident positions,” Duran Mullica said. “I feel like that’s a good compromise. It’s not 15, it’s not 11. It’s right in the middle.”

Westminster Water Rate recall founders Clerical errors in petition forms disqualify signatures

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An effort to recall four Westminster City Councilors appears doomed due to clerical errors with the petition signature formats.

The City of Westminster issued a press release Nov. 3 saying that 99 of the 453 petition sections submitted contained errors that invalidated them.

“This means there are currently not enough signatures to trigger a recall election for any of the four petitions,” city’s release said. “In anticipation of possible challenges, however, staff is moving forward with signature the verification process of the remaining petitions.”

The recall group, Westminster Water Warriors, has filed a challenge with the city. Challenges and final counts should all be decided by Nov. 14, according to the city’s press release.

Representatives for the recall group could not be reached for comment.

According to the City Clerk department’s review, entire signature sections were removed because the signature collector did not fill out the forms legally.

Dates, seals and documents Reasons the clerking staff cited included using the wrong date — one line said the signature had been collected in Oct. 2022, two years from now — or not listing their address or city

of residence.

Some packets were disqualified because they were not notarized or showed evidence they had been disassembled or taken apart.

Most were disqualified because the sections either had an unauthorized page included in the packet or showed evidence that an unauthorized page, such as a coversheet, had been included but removed before they were handed in to City Hall.

Each section contains between 10 and 96 signatures. The 99 sections disqualified by the City Clerk staff contained 6,348 signatures, leaving too few valid signatures to recall any of the four members of the City Council.

According to the city, the group needed 5,009 signatures to put Atchison on the recall ballot and handed in 6,996 signatures. According to the clerk, 2,346 signatures the group collected were included in disqualified sections. The city had not reviewed remaining signatures to determine if they were valid, but only 4,344 signatures remain — too few to trigger a recall of the mayor.

Similarly, the group needed to collect 6,098 signatures apiece to recall the three City Councilors, and they collected that many . The group collected 6,708 signatures to recall Skulley, 6,720 to recall Seitz and 6,730 to recall Voelz.

However, 942 of the signatures collected for Skulley’s recall were disqualfied, along with 1,615 for Seitz and 1,445 for Voelz, leaving all three safe from recall.

Organizers spent the summer collecting signatures by going doorto-door and at tables in parking lots around the city. They delivered their

The group cited a 2018 decision to increase residential water rates for 2020. Staff and councilors said the increase was needed to pay for repairs and maintain the city’s aging system

of water pipes, storage tanks and mains. Councilors were scheduled to consider a similar increase for 2021 this summer but postponed due to concerns about the economic impact of COVID-19 and stay-at-home orders.

Mason wins District Attorney race for Adams, Broomfield counties

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@METROWESTNEWSPAPERS.COM

Brian Mason will be the next 17thJudicial District Attorney.

In a battle between candidates on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, Mason, a Democrat, beat Republican Tim McCormack by about 10 percentage points. According to the unofficial results as of Mason Nov. 6, Mason had 121,368 votes to McCormack’s 99,021.

In the end, Mason’s politically moderate pitch to voters won over McCor-

mack’s harder-lined views in the race for chief prosecutor in Adams and Broomfield counties.

Adams County counted 76 percent of votes, while Broomfield County counted 80 percent of votes by 9:20 p.m.

“I am very honored to be elected district attorney of the 17thJudicial District. As the new district attorney, I will work tirelessly to keep our communities safe and to make our criminal justice system work for everyone.”

Mason said.

McCormack said in a phone call, “We’re disappointed with the results, of course, but we have no regrets to how we ran it.” He added, “Through-

out all of this, the bottom line was getting to meet the residents of the community, being able to talk to them and being able to give them some hope.” McCormack plans to continue working in the 1st Judicial District, where voters just elected Alexis King, a Democrat, to be the next district attorney.

Mason will inherit the seat now occupied by his boss, District Attorney Dave Young. Mason is chief trial deputy under Young.

Some voters expressed fondness of McCormack’s rule-of-law beliefs, while others said it was off putting.

Adrianna Gonzalez said she voted for McCormack because of his beliefs and

“what hestands for.”

However, Nick B., a Libertarian, said he voted for Mason because a Democrat might be more lenient on drugs, for example, “instead of someone (like McCormack) with an evangelical approach,” he said.

The race was split right down the political divide. Democrats in state and local seats endorsed Mason, while the majority of McCormack’s endorsements came from Republicans.

Mason said, “I didn’t know what to expect, but im very honored by the overwhelming support that we received from the community. It’s very humbling and im deeply honored and deeply grateful for their support.”

As Democrats roll in Jeffco, is the county blue to stay?

Democrats are looking stronger than ever in oncered Jeffco. But republicans say they aren’t giving up.

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s been over 100 years since there was a Jefferson County Board of Commissioners without a Republican commissioner. But that will be the case

come January after Democrats won the two seats up for election in 2020 to take over the entire board for the first time since the late 1880s.

It’s a result that might have seemed surprising—shocking even—as recently as 2017 when Republicans still held two of the three seats.

But it was par for the course in 2020 as Jeffco voters also preferred the Democrat candidates running for president and Colorado’s US Senate seat by double-digit margins, flipped the First Judicial District Attorney’s office blue and choosing to send Democrats to the statehouse in six of

the seven districts with more than 250 v0ters in Jefferson County.

A dramatic shift It’s a shift towards the Democrats that few can appreciate the magnitude of more than incumbent Republican commissioner Libby Szabo, who won election to her District 1 commissioner seat by around 6%. This year, she lost her reelection by 8.3%, a margin she notes was closely mirrored by those in several of the other countywide races, including that for DA. “When I came to be the county commissioner there was one elected democrat in the county government, Commissioner Casey Tighe,” Szabo said. “When I leave in January there will be one elected Republican and that will be Sheriff Jeff Shrader. So, things have changed a lot.”

But what’s behind the once reliably red Jefferson County’s sudden move into the blue column?

Scott Merrifield, the first vice-chair of the Jeffco Democratic Party, said Jeffco seems to emblematic of a broader shift toward the Democratic party over the last four years (the Democrats also saw several big wins in 2018) that can be seen in suburban communities throughout the nation.

It’s a shift that Merrifield said the Jeffco Dems were well-positioned to build upon by implementing a coordinated effort to both get out the vote among Democrats and sell their candidates to unaffiliated voters and even Republicans, which allowed the Democrats to win the turnout battle in

who has reached her term limit for the seat.

Tedesco said he’s eager to see work progress on the county’s regional business park, but said COVID-19 will be a huge factor for the commissioners going forward.

“How do we save our businesses, our restaurants and all the things that have been so negatively affected by this pandemic?” Tedesco said.

“That’s going to be my main focus. I don’t think I’ll try to do much else.

This is what we need to get through and we need all hands on deck to make sure these businesses are surviving.”

Henry agreed.

a high turnout election.

“The party targeted 90,000 of the registered democrats in Jeffco to remind them to get out to vote,” said Merrifield. “And of the 90,000 that the party worked on 96% of them turned out to vote. That’s insane.”

Denise Mund, the chair of the Jeffco Republicans, said her party has not yet had the time to fully delve into the election data to draw conclusions about the results but would thoroughly do so. However, she said she has also seen a change in the past few years.

“Obviously, I would prefer that, you know, the county represented conservative values the way that it did in the past,” she said. “Personally, I don’t like to see the changes that have happened: our taxes will continue to go up and we’re having extreme policies that are adopted by our elected officials and I honestly don’t think it truly represents the heart of the citizens of Jefferson. County.”

Registered Dems now more numerous The county’s newfound tilt toward the Democrats is reflected in party identification data as registered Democrats outnumbered registered Republicans by 18,000 voters as of Nov. 1 meaning. That’s in itself a significant change from 2018 when Republicans outnumbered Democrats by around 7,000 votes. However, then, as now, the biggest category of voters was actually independents, which outnumber SEE JEFFCO, P5

“COVID really interrupted a lot of what we were working on, to begin with,” she said. “So we need to focus on an economic recovery.”

Adams County was doing well at the beginning of the year, she said.

“We were number one in the nation for job creation and that’s big deal,” she said. “Obviously, our goal is to get back there.”

She wants to continue bringing in aerospace companies to the county’s Spaceport and continue to serve residents.

Both Henry and Tedesco are working on their final terms. They are the first commissioners to be elected to third term, based on the 2010 ballot issue. That kept Adams County’s term limits, but extended it to allow three four year terms. Both Henry and Tedesco where first elected in 2012.

the Democrats by 60,000 voters.

While the results for the Republicans weren’t good, the data suggests they could’ve been even worse as registered Democrats actually outnumber Republicans by about 18%, which is higher than the 10% margin seen in several margins.

While complete voting data is not yet available, Jeffco clerk Kara Rowland said up until the day before the election turnout for both Democrats and Republicans was “about the same.”

Joni Inman, who lost the race for the District 2 commissioner seat, said one trend she feels having an impact on results is a seeming decline in splitticket voting.

“The curious part about it is that the margins were almost the same across all of the races,” she said. “That tells

me there was pretty straight line voting.”

However, District 3 commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper, who will chair the now all-Democrat board, said she the results reaffirm her belief that voters are more concerned with candidates than parties when it comes to making choices at the county level.

“Jeffco voters respond to leaders who listen, find common ground and work together to solve problems,” she said in an email. “While we see partisan politics and divisiveness at the national level, Jeffco voters want local leaders who put aside partisan politics and get results. There’s no room for one issue candidates - no matter which side of the aisle you’re on.”

During a speech at her election party on Nov. 3, Laurel Imer, the Republican candidate for the House District 24 seat, criticized the state Republican Party’s approach to recent elections and her belief that it had not supported campaigns in the district because it considered it unwinnable

for a Democrat.

Although she lost by 30 percent, she said her campaign had outraised every other in District 24 history by raising over $24,000 in individual donations and held them up as a model for Republicans to make future inroads.

“The numbers in the district tell us that [we didn’t stand a chance] because we are the bottom of the rung below independents and Democrats Republican, so we knew it was unwinnable,” she said to her supporters.

“But did any of you ever think that I was running a race that was unwinnable? That’s the first step. If you are going to be a winner you’ve got to be a winner from day one until the end.”

Parties expect the county to be competitive in future Merrifield, meanwhile, said that while the county has gone strongly Democrat the past few years, no one should assume it will reliably be that way going forward.

“We’re not Denver, we’re not Boul-

der, politically we are a very diverse county,” he said. “I think what we have done over the last four years especially but going even before that is shown more and more that Democrat representatives bring home to the county what people want and I think what we have to do is to keep showing them that that’s who we are and that’s who they need to vote for. But we cannot take that for granted and say now we’re a blue county and we can just sit back because we know that the Democrats are gonna win. Absolutely not.”

The Republicans, for their part, aren’t giving up anytime soon either, Mund said.

“The people that I know that are volunteers for the party, have strong convictions and are not guarded,” Mund said. “And I don’t see them in any way giving up, instead I see that we will be digging into the data and looking at ways that we can improve across the board. Nothing will be left unscrutinized and we will make sure that we come back better and stronger.”

Reverse Mortgage: The Lifesaving Help You’ve Been Looking For

by Matt Witt

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you have been seeking.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity.

Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!

Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Gardner’s future could follow different paths One strategist sees possible governor, while other observers see business, lobbying

BY JESSE PAUL AND JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

What’s next for Cory Gardner?

That was the big question on Colorado Republicans’ minds a day after Gardner was decisively knocked out of his U.S. Senate seat by Democrat John Hickenlooper on Nov. 3.

At only 46, Gardner still has plenty of time to regroup and continue his political career, which began in 2005 when he was appointed to a seat in the Colorado Legislature. He also could head to the private sector.

Those closest to Gardner say they haven’t discussed the Republican’s future with him and that he’s been focused on his Senate reelection bid.

Gardner made no mention of his future in his concession speech on Election Night.

“He’s not somebody who’s already got his next job lined up,” said Rachel George, a former congressional staffer for Gardner. “That’s not his personality.”

But that hasn’t stopped speculation by his biggest cheerleaders about the options he has before him, nor has it eliminated their hopes that he will continue to be a force in Colorado politics.

One possibility: He could run for

Colorado governor in 2022.

Sean Duffy, a Republican strategist and former aide to Gov. Bill Owens, said Gardner has a bright future.

“I think he would be a darn good governor. He reminds me very much of Bill Owens in his demeanor and his approach,” Duffy said. “He’s a good debater — he can get fired up but he doesn’t get loud.”

Gov. Jared Polis’ first term is up in 2022 and there isn’t yet a clear Republican front-runner to challenge the Democrat. Polling shows a majority of Coloradans approve of the governor’s job performance.

Anyone who decides to take on Polis will also face a significant financial hurdle because Polis is so wealthy and willing to spend his money on his political future. In 2018, the year Polis was elected governor, he spent $23 million on his race and handily defeated Republican Walker Stapleton.

Individual donors can give Colorado gubernatorial candidates only $1,250 each election cycle, making it difficult for anyone to keep up with Polis’ selffunding.

“His money advantage is a major barrier to entry,” said Josh Penry, a Republican political consultant and friend of Gardner’s.

Penry says life as a senator has been grueling for Gardner. It has meant that he’s often away from his wife and three children, who live in northeastern Colorado.

“It’s a lot,” Penry said. “He does not live a glamorous lifestyle.”

That said, Penry doubts someone as ambitious and driven as Gardner will be able to simply hang it up and walk

Sen. Cory Gardner made a stop in Castle Rock on Election Day. When the results came out that night, Gardner found out that he had lost his seat to Democrat John Hickenlooper.

“People who are drawn to this business don’t usually satiate their appetite right away,” he said. “My guess is we haven’t heard the last of him.”

Gardner will also likely face difficulty shaking his ties to President Donald Trump in Colorado, said Rick Ridder, a veteran Democratic pollster. Gardner’s link to the president was in large part why he lost his bid for reelection.

Ridder expects those difficulties to last, though they “may not last at this level.”

“You can’t look at this data set and say: `Boy, a good centrist Republican can win,’” Ridder said, referencing his recent polling.

Other Democrats agree.

“Cory’s problem was the state has changed and he did not,” said Laura Chapin, a Democratic consultant and fierce Gardner critic. “The voting demographics of Colorado do not lead to future career plans for Cory Gardner.”

She thinks Gardner will likely become a lobbyist. That could be difficult

for him, however, since he sponsored legislation in the Senate that would have banned members of Congress from ever becoming lobbyists.

Greg Brophy, a Republican former state senator in Colorado, thinks Gardner could end up in Trump’s cabinet if the president is reelected to another term. If Trump loses, Brophy thinks Gardner has options.

“He’s a rare talent,” Brophy said. “I feel confident that he still has a future in politics.”

If Gardner doesn’t want to stay in politics, Duffy, the GOP consultant, says there’s a path for him, too.

“He could run a company. He would be a very good CEO. He’s whip-smart, and he’s as nice as he is smart,” Duffy said.

“People will call. He’s well liked.”

Tri-County approves proposal, Douglas County on track to remain with agency The new policy allows more power to elected officials in public health decisions

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County is on track to remain with Tri-County Health Department after the agency’s board of health approved a policy change for enacting countywide public health orders in a Nov. 6 meeting.

The new policy, approved by eight of the nine members of the board, has three key changes: • The three counties’ elected offi-

cials will now be consulted before any orders are put in place.

• County commissioners will have the ability to opt out of any orders that may impact them.

• If Tri-County must put an emergency health order in place, the health department’s executive director will brief and consult commissioners as soon as possible following the order.

This decision comes months after Douglas County’s board of commissioners announced it planned to leave Tri-County, one day after the agency implemented a mask mandate for the county.

At the time, commissioners said they were looking into forming their own health department, but a few weeks after the announcement, the county began talks with Tri-County about how they could remain to-

gether.

Since then, Douglas County and Tri-County have been in negotiations about a possible policy change that would allow counties more power in public health decisions.

All of the board members voted to approve the proposal except board president Rosanna Reyes, of Adams County, who abstained from the vote.

Rosanna and one other board member expressed frustration with the change in policy.

“I have to say how disappointed I am that we are where we are today,” said Jullie Mullica, an Adams County board member. “This policy change is completely unnecessary.”

Mullica went on to say that she believes Douglas County commissioners’ threats to leave Tri-County are “completely irresponsible.”

“With a heavy heart I will support this policy because I want to save the lives of members of my community,” she said. “Our leadership has spent too much time focusing over the past couple months trying to solve the political concerns of Douglas County commissioners.”

In October, Douglas County commissioners said they would withdraw their intention to leave Tri-County if this proposal was approved.

“Douglas County is willing to remain in the current three-county district relationship at a minimum through at least the end of 2022 while we collectively continue to examine our partnership,” according to a statement from the board at that time.

Douglas County commissioners did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the decision.

Wolf reintroduction going ahead after narrow win Proposition 114 means apex predators will be established in Colorado despite controversy

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Unleash the hounds.

Proposition 114 was decided Nov. 5 as votes from heavily populated Front Range counties pushed the wolf rein-

troduction plan to victory.

The measure, which tasks Colorado Parks and Wildlife with crafting a plan by the end of 2023 to reintroduce wolves into the Western Slope, was too close to call on Election Night and all day Nov. 4. The tightest statewide ballot issue in Colorado’s 2020 election, Proposition 114 was ahead by a narrow margin that veered close to triggering an automatic recount.

Opponents of the measure conceded the race Nov. 5. Even though there were more than 300,000 votes yet to be counted, a lead of more than 20,000 votes out of 2.97 million cast appeared

insurmountable.

Coloradans Protecting Wildlife, the group opposing Proposition 114, said in a statement that it believed “forced wolf reintroduction” into Colorado is bad policy that should not have been decided by voters.

“All along, our opposition campaign was led by those who would be directly impacted by this measure, including real Coloradans, sportsmen, farmers and ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and more,” said the statement from the group’s spokesman, Patrick Pratt.

“Despite a small group of wealthy, and often out-of-state, activists spending

in excess of $2.1 million to pass this measure, our campaign, with less than $800,000 was able to illustrate why forced wolf introduction is wrong for Colorado.”

Few issues raise hackles in the West more than wolves. Farmers, ranchers and hunters fear the return of wolves could damage rural economies that are based on livestock and hunting.

Racial justice movement, virus rattle craft beer world

BY JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

The craft beer industry — like much of America — is facing a reckoning on two levels right now: A pandemic ended more than a decade of growth well short of the industry’s goal to become 20% of the national beer market by 2020 and a racial justice movement highlighted craft brewing’s dominant white male culture and lack of diversity.

The combination led to sobering conversations within the craft beer community at a time the industry typically would have gathered in Denver for a toast at the annual Great American Beer Festival.

The Boulder-based Brewers Association that hosts the festival canceled the nation’s largest beer tasting event this year — and it expects to do the same in 2021 — because of the coronavirus outbreak. Instead, GABF moved into a virtual format in October with the presentation of the much-coveted awards.

The diversity of beers entered into the annual competition surpasses the racial diversity in the craft beer workforce and community. The problem is not new, but the focus on the issue amplified earlier this year amid the Black Lives Matter protests and demands from consumers for more significant change within the beer

industry.

“I think our trade was slow to think about diversity, and that’s not good,” said Marty Jones, an industry veteran and beer marketer. “But I’m glad it’s become a topic because we have dropped the ball on being a more welcoming trade.”

Lopsided numbers In Colorado, more than 400 breweries are operating, and just three are Black-owned — Novel Strand and Hogshead in Denver, and Outworld in Longmont. Spangalang Brewing in Denver is in the process of adding a partner, who is Black. In addition, about 10 breweries in Colorado are Latino-owned or focused. The numbers fit national figures from 2018 showing 1% of small and independent breweries are Black-owned and 2.4% are Latino-owned.

The Brewers Association — the trade group that represents independent small brewers across the country — began a program to address the lack of diversity in 2017 that included hiring a diversity ambassador and a grant program. But it took more significant steps in July after facing criticism for not doing enough to address racism actions among its membership.

In mid-June, three weeks after George Floyd’s death in police custody, the association posted a message to social media stating it “stands in soli-

darity against racial injustice.”

“We strive to create an inclusive community that feels safe and welcome. We will take a stand, we will listen, and we will learn,” the statement continued.

The words didn’t satisfy critics who wanted the organization to take a stronger stand against breweries that use insensitive names for beers or face allegations of racial discrimination. On the other side, the association’s leaders said they lost some members because of the decision to speak out.

In an interview last week, Bob Pease, the association’s president and CEO, defended the association, saying it did “quite a bit” to address diversity in recent years. But he also acknowledged “we were a little bit slow on uptake with the killing of (George) Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.”

“We all want a more diverse and equitable craft beer community,” he continued. “And we all have more work to do.

We are committed to doing the work.”

Changes in rules In July, the association amended its bylaws to allow for the removal of a member — a provision missing entirely in the prior governing documents. In August, the association introduced a new code of conduct for its mem-

bers designed to “eliminate discrimination, harassment, and bias of all types.” And in September, the association outlined a grievance process that its professional members can use to police other breweries for violations of the code of conduct.

“We have seen and heard the criticisms and questions surrounding the Brewers Association’s silence regarding racism among its members. We hear you,” Pease said in a July statement announcing the new changes. “Our limited public response to date has not been sufficient for many but it does not equate to apathy.”

The conversations about race and diversity in the craft brewing industry come at a difficult time. Earlier in the pandemic, industry outlooks suggested that 60% of breweries wouldn’t survive to June. Those dire predictions proved too pessimistic, as some breweries were able to get financial help or adapt to meet the to-go market, but still more than a dozen have shuttered in Colorado.

The situation remains tenuous, particularly for breweries that built their business on the taproom model selling beers across the bar rather than packaging their beer for sale at retail outlets. In 2019, craft beer volume amounted to 13.6% of the U.S. market, well short of the goals set years earlier in part because of acquisitions from larger brewers.

So far in 2020, overall sales are down about 10%, but breweries’ sales on-premise decreased 40%, the Brewers Association said.

The association is feeling the pinch, too. The cancellation of its events — the Craft Brewers Conference, Homebrew Con and GABF, among others — because of public health concerns cost the organization about 70% of its annual revenue and led to 23 layoffs, or about 35% reduction in staff.

The job cuts led to an outcry from brewery guilds across the country and even more criticism of Pease directly regarding his salary and recent hiring decisions.

Other cutbacks included reductions in research spending and the temporary elimination of grant programs, including the one focused on diversity.

Despite the setbacks, Pease is quick to say the association “is here to stay.” The tightened budget and a financial nest egg built from surpluses in recent years will keep it going at a diminished level. “We are resilient. We are scrappy, just like our members. We are adapting.

We are improvising,” he said.

“But like many of our members, we have been wounded by the pandemic for sure.”

How quickly it bounces back depends on when in-person events like GABF come to life.

step in a 40-year effort to return wolf populations that were hunted into extinction in the 1920s.

Colorado is the first state to reintroduce wolves at the direction of voters rather than federal wildlife biologists working under the Endangered Species Act. Recently, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt announced that the gray wolf population in the U.S. was recovered and no longer needed protection under the Endangered Specials Act, which has protected the canines since 1978. The federal delisting transfers management of wolves to states. A delisting of wolves in the Northern Rockies in 2008 legalized hunting and trapping of the predators. Colorado already has a law protecting wolves as a “species of concern,” making it illegal to kill the animals.

fans with a passport to deals at breweries across the nation for $20, but it won’t amount to a fraction of the normal revenue.

“If and when the world gets back to normal — and I say that with a big `if ’ because who knows what the new normal will look like — but if large events do come back — and we are thinking at this point 2022 at the earliest — we will be fine. We will be right back

Supporters of Proposition 114 said the delisting emphasizes the need for additional protection of wolves that comes with reintroduction. Opponents argued the federal delisting proved that wolf populations are healthy enough in the Northern Rockies to migrate south and establish packs in Colorado.

Earlier this year, Colorado wildlife biologists confirmed the presence of a wolf pack in the northwestern portion of the state.

The Colorado Wildlife Commission in 2016 rejected a proposal to reintroduce wolves, pointing to potential threats to the state’s big game population and livestock industry. More than three dozen rural counties in Colorado opposed Proposition 114. But voters in the state’s six most populated counties along the Front Range anchored the 13 counties that supported Proposition 114, illustrating a divide over wolves that fell largely along urban-rural lines.

Opponents of the measure hope the narrow margin factors into policy discussions as Colorado Parks and

growing again,” Pease said.

Breweries take action In Colorado, the Black Lives Matter movement inspired action on the part of breweries. WeldWerks Brewing in Greeley donated $10,000 to the local Black Lives Matter chapter and Campaign Zero to end police brutality. And dozens participated in the Black is Beautiful collaboration brew that benefited local social justice charities.

“Breweries in Colorado recognize it’s not only a lack of diversity in customers but a lack of diversity in staff and

Wildlife gathers public input and assembles a plan for reintroduction. That plan, per the ballot language, requires statewide hearings and includes creating a system to reimburse ranchers who lose livestock to wolves.

“The election results demonstrate that nearly half of Coloradans agree with us. We hope these election results show proponents, lawmakers and Colorado Parks and Wildlife that next steps must be taken in a measured, responsible way,” the statement from Coloradans Protecting Wildlife reads. The group said it would continue to work to protect wildlife, ensure diverse groups — “not just activists and regulators from the Front Range” — are including in wolf-policy development, and to defend ranchers and “prepare the West Slope for the realities of introducing a new apex predator.”

Supporters of Proposition 114 say the margin doesn’t matter and welcome their opponents to the next step.

“The bottom line is that Proposition 114 is not based on how close the vote

how can they create pipelines to address that,” said Shawnee Adelson, the executive director of the Colorado Brewers Guild.

Station 26 Brewing in Denver partnered with Regis University earlier this year to create a diversity scholarship for underrepresented students to complete the school’s brewing certificate program. The first recipients will be named in 2021.

“The brewing industry is not very diverse,” said Matthew Peetz, the director of the program. “It’s mostly white males, and I think that every industry benefits from a diversity of

was. It’s the law. We need to all get our heads around that fact and lean into the work ahead, which is fashioning a future for wolves in Colorado that we can coexist with,” said Rob Edward with the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund.

“We need to go forward as neighbors and adversaries and friends and create a future for wolves.”

Edward dismissed the notion that Proposition 114 passed solely on the back of Front Range and urban residents. He points to San Miguel, La Plata, San Juan, Summit and Pitkin counties, where a majority of voters approved the measure.

“We would not be having this conversation today had it not been for people on the Western Slope voting for wolves,” he said.

opinions and background.”

Odell Brewing in Fort Collins recently hired a person to coordinate its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts to address the hiring process as well as educate staff.

Wynne Odell, the brewery’s co-founder and a member of the Brewers Association’s board of directors, said the criticism aimed at the brewing industry was a factor, but “it was also all of us waking up in our own organizations and realizing this is a more immediate concern.”

Jones, the veteran beer industry leader, sees this

moment as an opportunity.

“It’s only natural that it would become an issue in craft beer.

Everyone is taking a look at themselves and wondering if they could do more,” he said.

He added: “What better way to bring people together and find common ground than to talk politely over a couple beers?”

It’s not over yet: Recall petition results confirm political unrest

T

he growing political unrest among Westminster citizens “came home to roost” as demonstrated with the culmination of the recall petition drive.

CROSS As reported last CURRENTS week, the petitions turned in October 30 initially had more than enough signatures to force an election on all four Westminster elected officials (Mayor Atchison and City Council members Bill Christopher Seitz, Skulley and Voelz). The Westminster Water Warriors group turned in 6,690 signatures to recall Atchison (5,009 required), 6,716 for Seitz, 6,713 for Skulley and 6,757 for Voelz (6,098 required for each council member).

I would say this is quite a feat given the 60-day time limit to turn in their petitions.

Numerous pundits, myself included, doubted this could be done — at least not for all four individuals.

However, the initial technical review of all the petitions conducted by the

City Clerk’s Office rendered all four sets of petitions short of the required number of signatures. She rejected 99 petition sections out of the 453 sections submitted. In the Atchison petitions, she threw out 2,346 signatures, 1,615 signatures on Seitz’s petitions, 942 signatures on Skulley’s petitions and 1,445 signatures on Voelz’s petitions.

Is the recall petition drive dead in the water?

The action by the City Clerk disqualifying so many petition sections leaves the four petitions “dead in the water.”

However, the petitioners have the option of protesting the City Clerk’s action which then would be heard by a city hearing officer.

There were several defects in the thrown-out petition sections as cited by the City Clerk. For example, taking off the cover sheet to a set of petitions, failure to notarize some petitions and using an incorrect date by the petitioner were some of the disqualifying errors.

This raises the question of what constitutes justification for disqualifying petition sections. A representative of the Water Warriors group did file a

protest.

If the hearing officer does not reinstate sufficient petition sections, the recall effort will have failed. According to the city administration, the group does not get an opportunity to cure the loss of signatures per both state law and the Westminster City Code. The City Clerk is expected to file her certificate of sufficiency or insufficiency on or before November 14.

Water rates were the “glue”, but there was more We have looked at the numbers, the players, the timeline, the required process and the tentative outcome.

The “Why” in any action or reaction is always important to analyze. What prompted the actions of this relatively small group of determined citizens to seek the recall of the controlling majority on the Westminster City Council?

Obviously, the high water rates triggered their anger and frustration, especially with no relief forthcoming from this same council majority. The hot and dry summer exacerbated the situation with monthly bills reported as high as $800-$1,000 or more. Certainly, the water rates were the glue

that held the recall effort together. But they’re not the only factor at play.

As I mentioned two weeks ago, there have been many issues over several months created by City Council prompted by recommendations from City Manager Don Tripp and staff which have generated mistrust, frustration and anger among different groups of citizens. Mayor Atchison, the three named council members and Tripp turned a “cold shoulder” to the public on each one of these. Yes, the council unanimously voted to avoid any water rate increase in 2021, but the damage was already done.

What happens next?

Let’s say the whole recall petition drama is over, kaput, finished. The petitioners put a lot of time and effort into what they thought was a just cause. The fact that almost 7,000 people signed one or more of the four petitions speaks volumes in my opinion. They are upset with their city government over the water rates and/ or other city issues.

So, what happens to the message they sent to their elected officials?

SEE CHRISTOPHER, P11

Looking down at someone to be looked up to

ooking down from the second level inside the Aurora Mall 35 years ago, I saw an older man, mid-60s, walking alone and unnoticed.

He wasn’t hurrying but showed no signs of impairQUIET ment. He was DESPERATION wearing a pale yellow button-up shirt and slacks, not jeans.

The B-17 was a four-engine, heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps.

During World Craig Marshall War II, the “Flying Fortress” was Smith used primarily in the daylight bombing campaign that focused on German industrial and military targets.

Routing the planes to and from the targets was extremely dangerous. They were large and relatively slow targets for German planes and ground-based, anti-aircraft fire, including flak.

As he walked, the man looked all around and eventually up. He spotted me, waved, and I waved back.

The Air Force Association stated, “More than 50,000 Airmen lost their lives in the four years of WWII and

the majority of those losses were on bomber missions over Nazi Germany in B-17s and B-24s. The average age of the crew of a B-17 was less than 25, with four officers and six enlisted Airmen manning the aircraft. Their chance of survival was less than 50 percent.”

At some point, the military noticed that morale was suffering because of the loss of men and aircraft, so they came up with a goal for flyers to aim for: complete 25 missions and you go home.

William Wyler, who directed two of my favorite films (“The Best Years of Our Lives” in 1946 and “Roman Holiday” in 1953) volunteered to serve as a major in the United States Army Air Corps.

Wyler went to England and directed two documentaries, one after noticing the painting of a shapely woman on the nose of a B-17 parked on the tarmac.

To the left of the painting were the words “Memphis Belle.”

Wyler directed “The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress” in 1944.

In 1990, a war film was released titled “Memphis Belle” that fictionalized the 25th mission of the plane Wyler had chosen for his documentary.

For some World War II B-17 flyers, the 25 mission goal came too late.

Those who survived flew as many as 30.

The man below stopped walking and when I signaled I’d be down he took a seat on a nearby bench.

“The Best Years of Our Lives” stars Fredric March, Dana Andrews, and a non-professional actor named Harold Russell, a World War II veteran who lost both hands while teaching demolition work as an instructor at a base in North Carolina.

The aerial shots of Boone City, the city where the servicemen return, were filmed over Cincinnati.

One of the film’s most compelling scenes takes place in an “aircraft boneyard” when Captain Fred Derry (Dana Andrews) walks among hundreds of retired B-17 carcasses. It was filmed at the Ontario Army Airfield in Ontario, California.

Years before I encountered the man at the mall, I discovered he had been one of the flyers who completed thirty missions and was the captain and pilot of a B-17.

I often think about that day when I saw him walking by himself, unnoticed.

When we met at the bench, he stood, and I gave my father a big hug.

We can handle whatever happens next

I

n the words of Forrest Gump: “My mom always said that life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

The one thing that separates a good movie or mystery from a great movie or mystery is the element of suspense and surprise. As each story plays out, what will happen next will keep us on the edge of our seats, perhaps shock or scare us, make us laugh, and hopefully astonish us in a good way.

It’s when what happens next is completely expected that leaves us feeling a bit disappointed. I find that most of us who really enjoy mysteries and thrillers look forward to the unexpected outcome, and the twists and turns of a book, television series, movie, game or competition of any kind. It’s when we already can predict or even see what happens next that we lose interest.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. And although there are many of us who really enjoy a great mystery, there are many more of

us who need to know the plot, the players, the situation and an ending that they had already figured out, or probably at least anticipated. Previously, we might have known the camp that we fell into; those who love a good mystery or those who really need to Michael Norton know what’s happening next.

However, this year has given us all a reason to try and get ahead of what happens next, wanting to know what we should expect and when we should expect it. We find ourselves asking things like how bad it will be, or how fast will it happen. In a book, movie, or game, it’s OK to leave us on the edge of our seat, but in real life, especially during this year that we have just lived through together, we want the answers before we take our seat or before the game starts.

Curiosity got the better of me, so

I began to ask why. Why do we need to know what happens next? I asked friends and family members. I consulted business advisers and mentors of mine. And I asked some of you who read this column regularly. When thinking about the “why” of knowing what happens next, most people used words like fear, anxiety, worry, doubt, disruption and insecurity. The reality is that many of us are just uncomfortable with the unknown.

There was a saying that was shared with me a long time ago, and I shared it with those I spoke to, so I will share it with you too, “Panic is our worst enemy, nothing is ever as bad as it seems, all will be well.” This usually led to a dialogue where we could talk about replacing words like fear, worry and doubt of the unknown with the excitement of the unknown. Or thinking about disruption as disruption of the status quo and maybe changing things that needed change. And when it came to insecurity, the conversation shifted from what we are insecure about to what we can find security in.

What can we find security in when it feels like we are living in an insecure world? We can start with how we see ourselves, not how the situation or environment sees us. We then move on to our foundation, our faith and our belief system. We can focus on our attitude through the lens of what we can do, not what we can’t do. We take comfort and solace in our relationships and those we love. And we anchor everything in hope.

How about you? Are you ready for what happens next no matter what it is? Do you look forward to the mystery as it unfolds or are you looking for a predictable outcome? I really would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com and when we understand that we can handle the twists and turns of this next mystery, it really will be a better than good week.

step of the process. They have been putting in many hours. Ms. Parker knows that the integrity of the recall endeavor rests on her shoulders and we trust her to dot every “I” and cross every “T”. Just like the balloting and counting of ballots for the Presidential candidates had to be “by the book” and above reproach, the process and review of the recall petitions and signatures must meet the scrutiny of a wary public.

FROM PAGE 10

Should the Mayor and his majority simply exhale a big sigh of relief and keep going as they have before for another year? Or do they take note of the volume and depth of discontent and lack of trust and develop a plan to acknowledge the discontent and try to do something about it?

If it’s the latter, it must be genuine and the City Council and Mr. Tripp would need to stand behind it. If it is business as usual, the discontent will continue to grow and slide right into the 2021 City election.

Atchison will be term-limited and gone. It’s no skin off his back. Seitz could run for mayor while not risking the two years remaining on her city council term. Skulley and Voelz are the most vulnerable and can either run for a new term or drop out. For Seitz, Skulley and Voelz, it would be far better to attempt to “calm the waters” with the segment of the voters who are not happy.

WINNING WORDS

The only other recall in Westy history On a final note on Westminster recall efforts, I want to share a piece of Westminster history with you: The current recall endeavor is NOT the first time there has been a recall effort. Are you surprised?

Under the City Charter, which Westminster residents adopted in January 1958, there was one other occasion when citizens forced a recall election of city council members. It happened in April 1959 over the issue of City Council creating a stormwater district with assessments to pay for infrastructure to avoid flooding. ThenMayor Don Nelson and four council members including Jerry O’Shea and A.V. Wilson had to stand a recall election. The recall failed on all five members.

While few will recall this event, it is a piece of Westminster history. Having said that, I wish Westminster had an archival center to allow the public to research such events as recalls, major

OBITUARIES STOLTE

Robert Henry Stolte 1942 - 2020

Robert (Bob) Henry Stolte passed away shortly after midnight on November 4, 2020.

He was preceded in death by his parents Stanley and Virginia, sister Karen Capps, brother Leslie (wife: Carolyn), and son Eric. He is survived by his wife Barbara, sons Joshua, Adam, and Matthew, sister Kathy (husband: Bill Austin), and brother-in-law Budd Capps.

He was born in 1942 in the town of Del Norte, Colorado, and was promptly named by his three-year-old brother Leslie, who made the announcement, unprompted, to the neighborhood that he had a new baby brother and his name was Bob. When Bob was nine months old, the family moved to the city of Arvada, and that remained Bob’s home until the end of his life. It was a city he loved. It was his home when he was baptized at the Arvada Methodist Church in 1945, and it was his home when he participated in the 150th anniversary celebration of the Arvada United Methodist Church in September, 2020.

Bob began his career as an artist no later than the age of five, with drawings whose distinctive style is recognizable even today. It was not long before his artistic talent was evident to everyone. By the end of his life, he had produced countless works of art, including drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, and ceramics, as well as poems, a screenplay and a novel. Friends and family members who received one of these artworks treasure them both in themselves and as reminders of his kindness and love.

In his childhood, Bob raised rabbits for the 4-H youth organization and wrestled at Arvada High School. He was graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a degree in architecture.

In time, he returned to his alma mater working as a building project manager, where he oversaw countless building

projects and formed lifelong relationships.

On Valentine’s Day of 1961, he met the love of his life Barbara Kay Wilson. Bob and Barb married in the summer of 1962 and recently celebrated their 58th anniversary. They raised four boys: Eric, Joshua, Adam, and Matthew. Their eldest son, Eric, passed away in 1994 at the age of 31 surrounded by his loving family. Joshua and his wife Sandra have three children: Tristan, Ariana, and Aayla, and Adam and his wife Darci have one son: Jackson.

Bob was heavily involved in all of his children’s activities, including serving as a scout master, cheering his sons on at wrestling tournaments and soccer games, and attending high school musicals. He served his church for many years on several committees. He was especially involved in two projects: the erection of the church monument sign (the signature marker for the church location) and the expansion of the church building to better serve the community.

He had a serious (and intellectually serious) faith with a special fondness for the Sermon on the Mount, and he was firmly committed to the view that science, religion, and life are compatible.

Bob valued nothing more in this world than his friends and his family. His love for them was never doubted and will never be forgotten.

His private memorial service will be streamed live on the Arvada United Methodist Church YouTube Channel on Monday, November 9, 2020, 1:45–3:00.

Friends and family are encouraged to share their memories on Facebook.

Memorial gifts may be sent to Arvada United Methodist Church, Children and Youth Ministry at 6750 Carr St, Arvada, CO 80004. Donations may also be made through the church website: https:// www.arvadaumc.org/.

Churches differ on pandemic response Arvada United Methodist Church held drive-in church services in its parking lot during warmer months but will now switch full virtual as cool weather sets in during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pastors say they rely on local, state guidance as disease drags on

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

s Colorado’s third wave of COVID-19 grips the state, churches in the Denver metro area are preparing to take additional precautions, although they differ in their plans to do business in the weeks ahead, from full virtual services to limited in-person gatherings.

Dr. Amy Gearhart, lead pastor at

Arvada United Methodist Church, said their church is paying close attention to the guidance of local and state health agencies. The church has not held in-person services since the pandemic reached Colorado.

“We’re a congregation that’s in total support and confidence in the scientific research and data,” she said.

The closest that Arvada United Methodist Church came to holding in-person gatherings during COVID-19 was when it hosted drive-in services

in the parking lot during the warmer fall months. With winter approaching, the church is switching back to full virtual as of Nov. 8.

Gearhart said there have been advantages to virtual sermons. Each Sunday they post a pre-produced sermon to YouTube. The church garners roughly 100 more views than what in-person attendance might have been before the pandemic, she said.

It also offers a solution for at-risk congregation members, she said. At-

tendance at the drive-up services was about half of pre-pandemic levels.

The church’s congregation comprises approximately 600 households and a normal service pre-COVID was on average 350 people. Roughly a third of their members are older than 70, she said.

“Many of our older adults don’t even feel comfortable coming in their cars,” she said.

43rd DFF builds community from Red Rocks and home COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

I

f you love movies, there’s no way your home setup is going to replace the experience of the theater, if for no other reason than there’s something special about sharing a cinematic experience with a group of people. But, as this year’s 43rd annual Denver Film Festival displayed, there’s more than one way to create a community.

Thanks to three drive-in screenings of films at Red Rocks, the organization was able to give audiences that “we’re all here together” feeling, and its incredibly convenient virtual platform allowed viewers access to around 180 films and creative conversations with filmmakers - hence that community feeling.

During this year’s festival, I saw 29 films over 17 days — all of them with their own fascinations and stories to tell. Rather than pick a top 5 or 10 favorites list, I thought this year I would name some categories and the

corresponding film. Happy watching!

Best catnip for movie nerds: ‘Kubrick by Kubrick’ Release date: 2021 Look, if you’re a fan of film, at some point you’re going to have to reckon with the work of Stanley Kubrick. That’s just how it is. But it’s a rare treat to actually hear the man’s voice - a treat this film provides, thanks to recorded interviews with French critic Michel Cimet. It’s thrilling to hear firsthand from an honest-to-god genius about his craft - a man one person describes as, “The Frank Sinatra of cinema - he always did things his way.”

For cinephiles and Kubrick aficionados, it’s a must-see.

Best love story/eerily prescient film: ‘Little Fish’ Release date: Feb. 5 Chad Hartigan’s heartbreaker of film

“Little Fish” takes viewers to a world where a disease called neuroinflammatory affliction (or NIA), which is a kind of rapid Alzheimer’s, is washing over the planet. In the midst of all this, we have Emma (Olivia Cooke) and Jude (Jack O’Connell), a married couple trying to build lives for themselves. But when Jude contracts the disease, their whole world changes and what seemed like a romantic drama turns into a creeping horror film.

The entire premise is a thoroughly clever and ultimately insightful way to examine a relationship. With the questions it explores about the power of memory and what ties people in love together, “Little Fish” flies in the face of its premise - it’s damn near impossible to forget.

CHURCHES FROM PAGE 12

Senior Pastor Rev. Mark Feldmeir at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch said they are primarily doing virtual services through YouTube. Worship elements are recorded through the week and St. Andrew has offered remote services since March.

But throughout the rest of November, the church plans to continue holding a Sunday evening service outside on its lawn for approximately 40 to 50 people.

People have to RSVP, wear masks and sit in family groups “so there’s social distancing,” he said. There is no singing at the services and the speakers wear masks.

Feldmeir also said virtual services have expanded the church’s reach.

Pre-pandemic attendance was approximately 1,200 in a weekend.

“Remarkably our viewership online is at least twice that every week,” he said.

Feldmeir isn’t sure of the church’s long-term strategy to hold service during the pandemic. They have not planned much beyond the New Year, but he doesn’t expect to do business as usual for months.

“I don’t anticipate that we’ll be back for in-person worship until there is a vaccine that’s widely available,” he said.

Surveys of the congregation showed 68% of their members would not return without a vaccine, he said.

Steve Thulson, interim senior pastor at Grace Covenant Church in Lakewood, said the church returned

to in-person services mid- summer.

The church’s two Sunday services are limited to approximately 50 people each, and attendees are required to wear masks.

That’s roughly half the church’s attendance before COVID-19 hit, Thulson said, and they estimate a dozen families tune in by livestream. He is not sure at what point the church would switch to full virtual services, if a shutdown is not ordered by local or state agencies, with which he vowed they would comply.

“That’s a great question,” he said.

The pandemic has placed numerous barriers on churches, he said, and there are mixed reactions to steps the church takes. Some people believe the church should not meet at all while others wish services could continue as normal.

“There are different opinions on all this. Not outright division but it’s kind of a continuum,” he said.

Gearhart said her congregation has been supportive of staying virtual and social distancing, but she knows pastors who have weathered pushback against following COVID-19 precautions.

Moving forward, the pastors said they’ll look to health agency guidance for navigating the pandemic in coming weeks, and they’ll try to keep up morale among community members.

“I think probably like everybody in our community and around the world, there is tremendous COVID fatigue and Zoom fatigue and I think that’s only exacerbated by some of the social division, political division,” Feldmeir said. “But I think there’s also a tremendous sense of a collective sense of we’re going to get through this.”

Longtime book and record store owner remembered for giving spirit

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

IF YOU GO

Through all the changes Arvada has experienced over the last 29 years, one of the city’s great constants has been the Black & Read Books, Music and Game store tucked into a strip mall on West Wadsworth Boulevard.

“Black & Read is always changing (as it is) influenced by customers, staff, the world at large,” said employee Kari Bakken. “But it always remains the place you can find that for which you didn’t know you were looking.”

While customers could never be sure what would await them among the store’s overstuffed shelves, Black & Read had its own constant: owner and founder Danny Graul, with his passion for film and mercurial outlook presented through his gravely voice and trademark thick black glasses.

But Graul, who died on Oct. 23 at age 70, will likely be best remembered by the many who knew him for his warm and welcoming way and love of people.

“He loved talking to different people from all walks of life,” said Michael Baca, who became close with Graul while working with him at Black &

The best example of what people working together can do: `The 8th’ Release date: 2021 With everything going on in the Supreme Court this autumn, the documentary “The 8th” hits differently than it would have just a few months ago.

The film follows the successful campaign to repeal Ireland’s 8th amendment, which made it illegal for women in Ireland to have an abortion for any reason. It follows campaigners through the 2017-2018 grassroots effort to have the law changed and shows their fight to ensure women can have a say over their own lives and bodies.

The rhetoric on both sides of the

Black & Read Books, Music and Games 7821 Wadsworth Boulevard, Arvada 303-467-3236 Blackandread.net Read for the last 20 years. “No matter where you were from, no matter what color you were or anything like that he was just very friendly and cool.”

Opening scene Graul was born at the old Mercy Hospital in Denver and lived his entire life in Wheat Ridge. He got his started in retail while working at the Sweet’s, which Baca describes as a “classic neighborhood video store.” But when Sweet’s owners decided to move it to a bigger location a few blocks away, Graul decided to open vintage vinyl, books and clothing store in the same spot.

For most of the next three decades, Graul could be found behind the counter at Black & Read, where most of those who knew him say he was always quick with a joke and even quicker to lend a hand.

Bakken said she will remember issue will sound familiar to American audiences, where women still have to deal with numerous restrictions and stigma around abortions and reproductive rights. For those concerned about those rights in this country, it’s a must-watch, invigorating jolt of hope.

The best hope for the future: ‘I Am Greta’ Release date: Nov. 13 The film follows climate justice activist Greta Thunberg from her first school strike for the climate in Sweden in 2018 to her legendary, righteously incendiary speech at the UN in September 2019. Viewers are treated to a look at the teenager behind the character the media has perpetuated. She’s at times funny, other times broken-hearted, often just a kid, but always dedicated and laser-focused to the cause.

This is a film for young people who feel disenchanted, or like their future

countless acts of kindness and generosity, but particularly the time her tire blew out just before she was getting ready to take a friend from out-of-town up to Rocky Mountain National Park.

“He told me that she was a good kid and needed to see the forest before handing me his keys,” said Bakken.

“He could be incredibly matter of fact when he was being generous and was always willing to take you to the airport.”

Adventure section But Graul was also a fierce friend who became close with many of his employees — he never married or had kids of his own — and was always up for a good movie or adventure or some combination of the two.

Baca said he recalls the two doing just that once when they made a trip up to Boulder to see a movie on the CU campus in the middle of a blizzard.

“It turned out to be this real boring Swedish film so we didn’t stay long,” said Baca. “And as we left, I remember us saying `this is terrible we drove so long and we risked our lives to get here” but really we thought it was pretty comical.

Derek Rolvsbakken, another longtime employee, said his favorite memory also involves a cold night when he and Graul watched LA Dodger Hideo Nomo throw a no-hitter at Coors Field in 1996.

“It was a late game in the cold and wet, and the Rockies lost, but it was a serious bonding experience,” he said.

Although Graul’s declining health prevented him from coming to the store as much as he once did over the last two years, Bakken said Graul was still involved with overseeing the store until the very end.

Baca confirmed the store will continue to operate, although determinations have not yet been made about who its new owner will be — or when the Arvada community will be able to come together to celebrate the man who was one of the town’s great characters.

However, a post on the Black & Read Facebook page announcing Graul’s death offered a clue -and suggested the occasion will be a worthy one.

“Black & Read will be 30 years old next year — which is over 300 in retail years,” it read “Look for a big celebration for Danny next year.”

Best ending: ‘Nine Days’ Release date: Jan. 22 Do you know that thrill you get when you experience something you’re familiar with in a totally new way? All of a sudden, there’s this whole new range of possibilities, new regions to explore. Director Edson Oda achieves that very feeling at the end of his metaphysical science-fiction film, “Nine Days,” by combining two elemental forces - Walt Whitman and Winston Duke.

his own experiences moving to a farm in Arkansas with his Korean-American family in the 1980s and delves deeply into the joys, exploration and growth that occurs as they make a life for themselves. Everything in this film feels lived in and real, perhaps most of all the performances from leads Yeri Han and Steven Yeun.

In a fascinating post-screening interview with critic Lisa Kennedy, Yeun spoke movingly about playing a character that reflected the dedication of his parents’ generation, not only the difficulties they went through.

“We don’t even want to justify their existence through their suffering.,” he said. “They get to exist. Period. And their existence is valid. Period.”

“Trust Us!” Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
