Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas counties at risk of tighter restrictions COVID-19 upswing could mean reduced capacity for businesses, worship, gatherings

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Buses, plows, ambulances fine The proposed restrictions would apply to the heaviest tractor trailers, weighing it in at 40 tons gross vehicle weight or more. That would allow lighter vehicles access to parts of the city and neighborhoods when they need to be there. That includes loaded 36 ton dump trucks, 28 ton snow plows, 19 to 30 ton fire trucks and buses, ambulances and standard box trucks and delivery vehicles — all weighing in at less than 20 tons.

On the heels of their first notably sustained increases in rates of new COVID-19 cases since July, Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas counties must slow the spread or face tighter restrictions, a news release from Tri-County Health Department announced.

The three counties each stand at risk of moving to a more restrictive level on what officials call Colorado’s COVID-19 “dial,” the framework that lays out which level of social distancing policy a county must operate under.

A tighter level could mean reduced capacity for businesses, places of worship and gatherings — and earlier last-call times for bars and restaurants, Tri-County’s release said.

Colorado’s dial framework has five levels: The stay-at-home policy is the most restrictive, and the loosest is the “protect our neighbors” phase that only a handful of counties have qualified for so far. That phase is likely months away for Denver metro counties.

The vast majority of the state operates under the updated safer-at-home policy, which the state broke into three levels in September and makes up the middle three notches in the dial. As of Oct. 8, Arapahoe and Douglas are listed under the least restrictive safer-at-home level, and Adams falls under the middle level.

Since early September, Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties have seen the first notably sustained increase in their rates of new cases since July, according to data from Tri-County Health, the public health agency for those counties. The change has been most pronounced in Adams, less so in Arapahoe and milder in Douglas.

Arapahoe County’s rate of new cases per 100,000 over a two-week period was 121.7 as of

Northglenn considers heavy truck zone 40-ton trailers would need permits, stick to certain streets under city proposal

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A plan to limit the heaviest delivery trucks to a few of Northglenn’s busier streets left City Councilors skeptical but willing to give it a try.

“I appreciate what you’ve done, I’m just not sure it’s the right approach right now,” Councilor Jenny Willford said.

Councilors discussed a plan to cut down on heavy truck traffic in the city, limiting trucks weighing 40 tons or more to a handful of arterial routes — portions of 120th, 112th and 104th avenues and portions of Huron, Grant and Washington streets and Malley and Irma drives.

The city can’t simply ban heavy trucks because local businesses depend on them for supplies, said Public Works Director Kent Kisselman. The current proposal is the result of a study of Northglenn truck traffic the city kicked off in 2019.

“The recommendations from the report were to update signage in the residential areas so that it’s consistent, designate a heavy truck route with appropri-

ate signage, create a permit process and finally have the Police Department enforce the recommendations,” Kisselman said.

City Manager Heather Geyer said she regularly fields complaints from residents about heavy truck traffic. Municipal code does allow trucks up to 80 tons to use city streets, with informal permits available to heavier vehicles. The city does not specially ban them from any area and does not have a designated route for those vehicles to use.

“Right now, we have an inconsistent process and having an inconsistent process doesn’t help us,” Geyer said. “For the questions I get, we don’t have a good response as to why we don’t enforce and why it’s not enforceable. So that’s a key element of bringing forward an updated ordinance, to give us something that’s enforceable.”

Adams Commissioner tests positive for COVID

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio said he’s even more of a believer that masks matter after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

“I think it’s important for people to take this seriously,” O’Dorisio said.

“I’ve been a big believer O’Dorisio in masks from the beginning and this is why.”

O’Dorisio said he was diagnosed with COVID at the end of September and is not sure where he picked it up.

He and his family have been in quar-

Oct. 2. That’s up from 76.2 as of Sept.

17.

Between Sept. 24 and Oct. 7, according to Tri-County, the following increases occurred: • About 1,400 new cases and 52 new hospitalizations were reported in Adams County; • About 890 new cases and 39 new hospitalizations were reported in Arapahoe; • In Douglas, 400 new cases and eight new hospitalizations were reported.

If trends don’t change, tighter restrictions could take effect around late October for Arapahoe and Douglas counties and early November for Adams, according to John Douglas, Tri-County’s executive director.

antine while dealing with the virus.

“My wife and I have experienced different levels of symptoms ,” he said.

“It’s important to people to realize that there are differences, and that you have to take things very seriously.”

He said he expected to be out of quarantine sometime Oct. 10 or 11.

O’Dorisio went public with his diagnosis the weekend of Oct. 3, making a public post on Facebook explaining what happened.

“This is an insidious virus that affects people in different ways and can sneak up on you,” he wrote. “I have been tested three times since August with all negative results except for the most recent test. My symptoms have been mild but Robin’s (his wife) have

been much more challenging.”

His County Commission colleagues, who had contact with O’Dorisio while he was contagious but before he was aware, went into quarantine right away and were all tested. So far, none have tested positive.

He said he is unaware of any of his contacts being diagnosed.

“You look back and ask when you think you might have been infected, and then you think ‘Was I in the car with anyone? Did I have coffee or lunch with anyone, and within six feet?,’“ he said. “And those are the people you need to get in contact with, based on the guidelines.”

He said he’s promoted wearing masks and limiting personal inter-

actions with others since COVID-19 first began spreading. He’s even more convinced that they work because his contacts have not reported being sick.

“If someone says, ‘But you’ve been wearing mask. You’ve been doing the elbow thing instead of shaking hands, you’ve been careful,”’ he said.

“I have had people make that point, that I still got it. But I say by doing all that and being careful, I didn’t expose others. So that’s why being cautious is still important. We may not be able to eliminate exposure entirely, but you can reduce the risk of exposing someone by wearing a mask, social distancing and limiting interactions as much as you can.”

Officials must pivot to strategies Tri-County and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment are working with the three counties on individual mitigation plans to help reduce the number of new cases, the news release said.

For example, Arapahoe’s mitigation plan has included steps such as producing a public information campaign to increase awareness of the county’s COVID-19 statistics and conducting business roundtables with public health experts to address industryand site-specific questions. Arapahoe’s plan may see modifications, though, according to Tri-County.

“We all need to step up our prevention measures to reduce transmission and keep our counties open,” Douglas, the executive director, said in the news release. “That means we need to limit the number of activities we participate in. You’re more likely to

get COVID-19 from someone you know and spend time with than a stranger.”

The state public-health department monitors the rate of new cases, COVID-19 test positivity rates and hospitalization trends to determine if a county moves toward more restrictive or less restrictive levels on the state’s policy dial. Such changes also affect the level of restrictions for outdoor and indoor events and personal gatherings.

The public can view the restrictions for different events, activities and types of businesses at tinyurl.com/ ColoradoSaferatHomeFramework on page 6.

“When gathering — whether it is indoors or outside, or at a private party or public event — everyone should be sure to wear face coverings, maintain at least 6 feet of social distancing from others outside of their household and wash their hands frequently,” Douglas said in the release.

The limit on personal gatherings is 25 people in the level Arapahoe and Douglas were under as of Oct. 8, while the limit is 10 people under Adams’ level.

For information on how to gather safely, the public can see TCHD’s small-gathering guidance at tinyurl. com/Tri-CountyGuidance.

“Prevention measures are especially crucial now that the weather is cooling and more gatherings and restaurant seating will be indoors where transmission can occur more readily than outdoors,” the news release added.

Gatherings may be to blame Tri-County’s contact-tracing process shows that a large number of positive cases may be connected to public and private social gatherings, according to the news release.

Westminster water sessions begin

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Equal parts communication seminar and a primer on public works, the Westminster City Council kicked off a series of meetings detailing how water rates are set.

During the two-hour Zoom video conference Oct. 8, consultant Heather Bergman with Peak Facilitation Group coached City Councilors on being less formal and more open to communicating, urging them to use first names when referring to each

other. Councilors next discussed how to involve Westminster residents in the water rate discussions before beginning a review of the city’s water and sewer system.

The water rate-specific meetings are scheduled to continue at least through November — although most councilors said they favored a longer process with more public involvement that could continue the process beyond April 2021.

The next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 20, with meetings currently set for Nov. 5 and 17. The meetings are

Westminster shortens recall deadline

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A re-reading of City of Westminster and Colorado statutes led the city to shorten a deadline by two days for a recall effort targeting four City Councilors.

City spokesman Gregg Moss said that the original deadline called for the recall group to file their petitions with the City Clerk on Nov. 2, a Monday.

Moss said the new deadline is Oct. 31, a Saturday.

“Of course, Saturday is not normally a working day for City staff, but we are making arrangements to have four members of the City Clerk’s team to meet the petitioners at City Hall to receive the filed petitions,” Moss wrote

in an email.

Moss said the city’s standard practice is to push filing deadlines to the next business day when they occur on a weekend or holiday.

“After further review, however, of the City Charter (City Charter section 3.18, Westminster Municipal Code section 7-1-10(D) and Colorado Revised Statutes section 31-4-503(2)(a)), the City Attorney’s Office determined that all petitions for recall must be filed with the City Clerk no later than sixty days from when the petition was approved as to form,” Moss wrote in his email. “Bottom line, the City cannot accept these petitions if they are filed after Saturday, October 31, 2020.”

tain the city’s aging system of water F pipes, storage tanks and mains.

Councilors were scheduled to consider a similar increase for 2021 earlier this year. That potential increase was postponed due to concerns about the economic impact of COVID-19 and stay-at-home orders.

The 2020 increase has spawned controversy, with a group of protesters filling Westminster City Hall’s parking lot during several meetings this summer. It’s culminated in the group,

all set to run from 6-8 p.m. and are all currently planned to be virtual meetings, modeled after the City Council’s regular study session meetings. The meetings are designed to provide councilors and residents common information about the city’s water and sewer utilities before discussing potential water rate increases in 2022.

Councilors voted in 2018 to increase residential water rates for 2020 by roughly 10%, while commercial rates increased between 6% and 10%. Staff told councilors those increases were needed to pay for repairs and main-

Council considers hearing R officer for recall

The timing of a busy general election and the due date for a petitions seeking to recall Mayor Herb Atchison and three City Councilors has City Clerk Michelle Parker asking for help.

“The deadline to turn these in is Nov. 2, the day before a major election,” Parker told City Councilors during their Oct. 5 study session.

“The City Clerk’s office, overlapping with that timeline, will already be very busy, assisting voters and helping to redirect them. It’s just an incredibly busy day for us.”

Councilors discussed hiring private City Clerk specialist Karen

Golden to act as Administrative Protest Hearing Officer in case petitions seeking to recall the councilors are protested by residents. Protests could be filed by any registered Westminster voter, including the City Councilors themselves.

F Parker said having Golden to handle potential protests would free her staff to handle the recall petitions themselves while taking care of their other tasks.

“We can’t shut down our other operations for that 15 day period,” Parker said. “We will continue to do all of our duties, as well as verifying signatures.”

Atchison, Seitz and Skulley were on the council when the rate increase was approved.

Councilor David DeMott, councilors said they were fine with spending no more than $7,500 for the help. They were scheduled to vote on a resolution to the matter at their Oct. 12 meeting.

Residents Jessica True, Gary Shea and Deb Teter filed four separate petitions aimed at unseating Atchison and City Councilors Anita Seitz,

first offered minimal input and had councilors settling on a recommendation that could be offered to residents.

A second, more involved process would have councilors selecting several water rate options that would be put to the public, with the most popular option being adopted. Both scenarios would fit the current schedule, with councilors wrapping up the work by year’s end or early in 2021.

A third option that would push the discussion into the spring of 2021 proved most popular with most councilors. ”Instead of waiting to the end, when you all have hopefully converged on some number of things, we could go to the community soon-ish,” Bergman said. “And instead of asking them

what they think of one final thought, we ask questions about issues, items or topics that inform or impact rates.

For example, what is their willingness to pay for something or what is their comfort with this kind of debt ratio, this level of potential problems or whatever.”

It would mean more water rate study sessions and several opportunities for public input, adding weeks and months to the process. Councilors would use those opinions to shape the policy going forward.

“So you would have more information, it would take more work for the community and it would take a little bit longer, just to collate the information and give folks time to think about multiple things, rather

than one thing,” Bergman said. ”That third option is the most, highest form of engagement we would consider and it might feel more meaningful to members of the community. It is a higher level of involvement and would require more work on their part.”

Public input could come from meetings — virtual or otherwise — focus group discussions or surveys.

“We could ask, ‘Here are a potential number of things that could influence the amount of water rates, which of these things are important to you and which are not,” Bergman said. “We’re not asking them what you should do, but we can ask what’s important to them, what do they value.”

Most councilors said that was their choice.

Colorado law, Moss wrote.

“The City wants to make sure that all petitions get a fair and legal chance to be considered,” he wrote.

Moss said the City Clerk notified that recall petition group that the deadline had changed

Oct. 8. City Councilors, meeting in a study session to discuss water rates at that time, cut their discussion short to review an email in a closed-door executive session. Moss said due to executive session rules, he’s not allowed to discuss the

reason for that closed-door meeting or what was said.

“Having said that, the City Clerk did send a notice last night to the petitioners who are collecting signatures as part of the process of a potential recall of elected city

officials,” Moss said. “The purpose of the email was to clarify the filing deadline.”

Representatives from Westminster Water Warriors, the group leading the recall effort, could not be reached for comment.

Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz. The group is scheduling collection events around the city, at local grocery stores, parks and members’ homes. They are updating the schedule and locations at https://www.facebook.com/ westminsterwater on Facebook.

Parker said the recall group has until the close of business Nov. 2 to file the necessary signatures. Parker said her office has 15 days to review the signatures and verify that they are from registered West-

minster voters once they have been submitted, and recall group has 15 days after that to “cure“ the petition. The clerk then has another five days to review the petition signatures and declare the petition sufficient or not.

The group needs to collect 5,009 signatures to recall Atchison and 6,098 signatures apiece to recall the three City Councilors.

“That is going to be north of 23,000 signatures to verify over a 15 day period, which includes the weekends,” Parker

said. “We verify petitions every two years, that we have a council and mayoral election.

So we have quite a bit of experience in terms of how long it takes to verify each signature as well as the potential other steps we need to insure you exhaust all potential search methods.”

According to the Colorado law, registered voters can challenge the validity of each petition. A hearing officer — either the City Clerk or another person designated by the City Council — must

review the petitions if they are challenged.

Parker said hiring an outside contractor to handle those protest hearing also assures that the hearings will be fair “If there is a hearing where I am the hearing office, I will essentially be ruling on something I have already ruled,” she said. “If there is some kind of a protest about how I’ve ruled, that puts me as the judge of my own decision, essentially. So for that reason, we think it’s a good practice.”

Tri-County membership an issue for Adams County

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams County commissioners took aim at their Douglas County counterparts Oct. 6, saying they were not willing to consider a 2021 budget for Tri-County Health until Douglas County had decided whether it would be part of the health agency going forward.

“How can you justify changing health orders for Douglas and Adams Tedesco County and having to operate with two conflicting health orders, one based on political views and the other based on health and science?” Commissioner Chaz Tedesco said.

Commissioner Eva Henry said it appeared that the health agency Henry was putting the rest of their territory at risk by trying to appease Douglas County.

“My concern is that everybody in Tri-County, from my appearance, is bending over backwards to keep Douglas County,” Henry said. “The simple fact is, no one has asked us if

we want to keep Douglas County or if we want to negotiate with them. I have no desire to keep a county that has irresponsibly decided to leave a health department during a pandemic.”

Tri-County Health presented their proposed 2021 budget to Adams County commissioners at their Oct. 6 study session, a remote meeting on the Zoom networking platform.

Douglas County unknown Tri-County Health is the operating health agency for three Colorado counties, Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas. When the agency’s Board of Health — made up of appointees from each county — called for a COVID-19 mask order in July, the Douglas County Commissioners sent a withdrawal letter saying they would set up their own health department and withdraw from Tri-County after July 11, 2021.

Executive Director John Douglas said he does not know what Douglas County has done since issuing their letter.

“They, as far as we know, have not been planning what it would take to create a new health department as of July 8,” Douglas said.

But Douglas said there has been discussion that Douglas County could Complaints Councilors agreed to pursue the plan, saying it was a step in the right direction. It won’t make all residents happy, especially if they live along one of the heavy truck routes.

“So who gets the phone calls?“ Mayor Meredith Leighty said. “I’m telling you, this is not going to make residents happy.”

Structuring the agency Tedesco said he’s a fan of the health

agency and what it does.

“I am not criticizing your work by any means,” Tedesco said. “This is about the structure of an agency that’s being threatened by one of our partners and we need to make sure we are analyzing ever aspect to make sure we can justify that to our community.”

Tedesco pushed the health agency to present a spending plan that didn’t include Douglas County.

“I don’t believe we should be talking about a budget that includes Douglas County,” he said. “And if it’s a contract situation, I would have a problem of being involved with Douglas County.”

Commission Chair Emma Pinter said she’s not willing to approve a budget until Douglas County’s membership is settled.

“At this point, we have an option that they either remove their letter or approve this budget,” Pinter said. “If they are unable to do so, then my colleagues are correct.”

Douglas said his staff could draw up a budget that assumed three counties for the first part of 2021 and two counties after July. County Manager Ray Gonzales said commissioners are scheduled to vote on their 2021 budget in December.

Councilor Julie Duran Mullica asked if it was a necessary change.

“My question to staff would be, if the complaints are not going to stop what is the benefit of implementing this process and all this permitting and enforcement and everything if it’s not going to not going to prevent truck traffic on those roads?“ she said.

Kisselman said Washington Street

is one of the few roads that runs the length of the city.

“There are several businesses along that corridor that, if you restricted semi-trailers they just would not get their product,” Kisselman said.

The streets that would be designated for heavy truck traffic are designed to withstand that kind of heavy traffic, he said.

hire Tri-County as a contractor, but he didn’t know how much they would pay.

County funding made up about $11 million of the agency’s budget $45 million budget in 2020. Adams County paid $3.7 million, Arapahoe County paid $4.7 million and Douglas County paid $2.5 million.

Jennifer Ludwig, deputy director for Tri-County, said the agency’s budget call for a 14.71% spending increase in 2021, much of that from increased costs and expenses due to the agency’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic locally.

But Ludwig said funding from the three counties is not expected to rise, beyond per capita payments based on local populations. Each county pays $7.10 per capita to the agency and population in the agency’s territory looks to increase by 26,054 people, Ludwig said.

Based on those population forecasts, Adams County would pay an additional $53,662 and Arapahoe County would pay an additional $66,946. Douglas County would pay $64,376, based on that forecast.

Several examples are: the Colorado Air and Space Port, the Aurora Highlands, I-70 infrastructure and interchanges, as well as numerous job opportunities throughout the region.

I work to foster regional partnerships to leverage economies of scale, secure infrastructure, and build sustaining relationships across the county and state.

I am proud to run for re-election and look forward to working together for Adams County and Colorado.

Despite state school board members deeming the SAT voluntary this year for Colorado high school students, the state education department ordered more than 30,000 test books for about 400 schools to administer it for free in September.

Although the Colorado Department of Education could not say how many students took the college readiness test last month, many still view the exam as important to their path to college.

James Yepez, a Palmer High School counselor in Colorado Springs, said his students are convinced they need to take the test to get into the school of their choice. College-bound students still believe SAT scores will help their admission chances, he said.

In Colorado, at least for the foreseeable future, the privately administered SAT isn’t going anywhere.

The state uses the test to rate schools.

Students also can use the test to demonstrate proficiency in English and math to meet new graduation requirements that apply to the Class of 2021. Much is also tied to the test, including the determination of merit scholarships — a requirement that’s been placed on pause for 2021 graduates by Colorado public universities, according to the Colorado Department of Higher Education.

Nationwide, more than 1,550 colleges have made the test optional for admissions, increasing about 50% this year, according to Akil Bello of the National

Organization for Fair and Open Testing, which opposes how standardized tests are used in admissions. That’s about two-thirds of all four-year degree granting accredited colleges nationwide, Bello said.

Many schools decided either just before or right after the start of the coronavirus pandemic, said Bello, who is senior director of advocacy and advancement.

He said the unusual circumstances this year can allow Colorado’s college leaders and policy makers an opportunity to reflect on the use of the test, especially for admissions.

Polis OKs provision In response to the pandemic, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed into law a provision that allows public colleges and universities to go test-optional. The University of Colorado-Boulder and Colorado State University decided to go test-optional for one year.

Other Colorado colleges and universities also hit pause on using the SAT for admissions.

The testing companies argue research shows the tests are solid predictors of college success, especially in the first year. And the research also describes how the tests create a more complete picture of student abilities.

The SAT allows schools to sort thousands of applications, said Alejandra Dominguez, a success coach at AdvanceEDU, which provides underrepresented students support in accessing college.

District 29 candidates talk priorities, goals ahead of election

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the Arvada and Westminster residents living in Colorado House 29 cast their vote for who will succeed Tracy Kraft-Tharp as their representative, they will be choosing between three candidates who are running for political office for the first time.

The Democratic candidate is Lindsey Daugherty, who lives in Arvada and operates her own law firm specializing in family, estate and criminal law. The Republican, meanwhile, is Vanessa Warren-Demott, a Westminster resident who just earned a degree from Front Range Community College. Joining them on the ballot is libertarian Ryan Van Gundy, who lives in Arvada and has worked in IT since serving in the Navy.

Ahead of the election, we caught up with each of the three candidates to discuss their reasons for running for office, policy concerns and stances on some pivotal issues. Here is a look at what they had to say.

The best candidate Daughtery touted her legal background, which requires her to be able to look at both sides of an issue.

“I think what a good legislator does is take into account all of their constitu-

ents and really understands both issue and that’s what I would really like to do at the state capitol,” she said.

Warren-Demott said her strength lies in her being a “regular person” rather than a politician and the understanding of what people are going through that comes with that.

“I’m not perfect,” she said. “I’m a high school dropout and I’ve had a pretty colorful past. But when it all comes down to it, I’m a normal person and the same kind of person who lives in my district.

I’m a mother of four and I understand and I really understand working families go through and what kids that live through lives of trauma and abuse go through.”

Van Gundy, too, brought up his lack of political experience as well as his interest in showing people a better way for government to function.

“Being a politician is not something I ever wanted to do,” he said. “But I just feel we need some change in our state and the two party system has been failing us for the last 150 years and we definitely need some change and fresh ideas instead of doing the same thing over and over again.”

Priorities Van Gundy said his priorities would be shrinking the size of the govern-

ment, lowering taxes and education reform.

“We are not really doing our kids any justice there,” he said of the latter issue.

Warren-Demott said her priority is mental health, “hands down.”

“I think mental health crosses over into other areas that we are all very focused on like education and law enforcement, which I think is not a place we are really looking at when we put a lot of pressure on law enforcement and how they interact with the public,” she said.

Daugherty said her political priorities have shifted during COVID-19 and she is now particularly concerned about helping businesses whether the crisis, and particularly the winter months, to stay open for years to come. However, she is also prioritizing criminal justice reform.

“My brother has had addiction issues and a felony DUI and I have seen just how the criminal justice system doesn’t allow for second chances for people,” she said. “The recidivism rate is really high for a reason.”

A successful term Warren-Demott said her priority is to provide mental health care to kids and adolescents so that they can be successful, an issue she said is particularly important because her own

daughter has a mental health disorder that has led her to have contact with police.

“I want to look at something that helps adolescents like her be able to get the education they need, but also pair it with all the mental health that they need without making parents go into debt,” she said. “It’s not a matter of trying to get free health care but using all of those different resources, including public school funding, medical insurance, and community resources.”

Daugherty said for her success would mean focusing on education and supporting students and being a “voice for those that are underserved and underrepresented.”

“We need to make sure the workingclass people are able to make a living in whatever profession,” she said.

Van Gundy said success for him would mean showing people a better way for government and politicians to operate.

“We’ve been in this two-party system for so long everything thinks that’s just how it is and we don’t even know what liberties truly are anymore,” he said. “I would like to show everybody that now as individuals we can actually achieve a lot more and there is better way to do things then just let the government run our lives.”

Tax question on ballot could be far-reaching

BY JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

A measure on the 2020 ballot in Colorado proposes a permanent cut to the state’s income tax rate that would give the average taxpayer a $37 break annually.

The limited-government conservatives and Republican lawmakers backing Proposition 116 say the tax relief comes at a crucial moment amid the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus. The measure would reduce the current 4.63% income tax rate on individuals and corporations to 4.55%.

“The simple truth is, Proposition 116 is a mild but much-needed tax cut for all taxpayers at a time when Coloradans could use the boost wherever they can get it,” said Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, a Republican from Sterling and author of the measure.

But the measure’s opponents say the timing is a major reason to forgo the modest tax break — because it would reduce state tax revenues by more than $150 million at the same time Colorado lawmakers are cutting billions from the state budget.

“We need more flexibility and creativity for our state budget, not something that will constrain the state budget even further — our students deserve better,” said Amie Baca-Oehlert, the president of the state’s teachers union, expressing opposition to Proposition 116 and Proposition 117 limiting government fees.

The competing arguments about the benefits for individuals and corporations and the costs at the collective level define the debate on Proposition 116 ahead of the November election.

What you need to know Here’s how income taxes work in Colorado and how they are spent:

Colorado is one of 43 states that levy individual income taxes and one of nine with a flat tax, according to the Tax Foundation. The state taxes 4.63% of federal taxable income, which ranks among the lowest income tax rates in the nation.

When it comes to overall individual local and state tax burden, the foundation’s analysis finds Colorado ranks 15th in the nation. The study found that businesses fare much better with one of the nation’s lower tax burdens.

(For the 2019 tax year, due in 2020, the state’s rate was temporarily lowered to 4.5% because the state exceeded the revenue limits set by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights in the 2018-19 fiscal year. But for the 2020 tax year it will return to the standard 4.63% rate — unless Proposition 116 is approved.)

Income tax accounts for the bulk of the discretionary spending in the state budget and goes into what’s known as the general fund. In fiscal year 2018-19 the state collected $9.2 billion, according to a legislative analysis.

Colorado lawmakers apportion the general fund spending each year in the state budget process with health care and other safety net programs and education consuming the bulk of discretionary spending. For the current 202021 fiscal year, the two areas consumed 74% of the general fund budget.

What an income tax cut would mean For individuals and corporations, the amount of the break from the 1.7% reduction in the state’s income tax rate depends on income levels.

On average, individuals would pay $37 less in income taxes, according to legislative analysts. The savings for someone with $25,000 in taxable income would be about $20 while those with taxable income of $1 million would save $800.

The importance of the mask

A

simple thing like a paper or cloth face mask can be a powerful thing. It can make all the difference in the world.

Whether you are a child, a soccer mom, CROSS a professional athlete, CURRENTS a local politician or even the most powerful person in the world, it can save your life and those around you if you honor its use. Just think, if President Trump had been a “believer”, he and nuBill Christopher merous White House staff and U.S. Senators could well have avoided contracting the COVID-19 virus.

Do you think he has now become a “believer” and will stop belittling his opponent, former Vice-President Joe Biden, or strutting around at campaign rallies with his fellow Republican diehards without any protection?

I don’t think so. His erroneous “don’t be afraid of the COVID” tweet and the choreographed return to the White House with the dramatically staged removal of his mask tells us plenty.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We need to protect our air This summer and fall have we have seen day after day of warnings that the air we breathe is unhealthy, mostly due to the wild fires here in Colorado and other western states.

Air that is safe to breathe is on many minds. It certainly has been on mine.

My husband and I have committed to doing what we can to help improve the quality of our air. We downsized from two cars to one hybrid vehicle that uses less gas and produces less pollution. Our second vehicle is an e-bike that I mostly use for trips to the store, to visit the parks and meet friends in Northglenn.

We in Northglenn are impacted by the traffic that passes through our community. I believe that electrifying our transportation sector needs to be wide ranging. We need more electric buses, trucks, personal vehicles, and public fleets throughout or state and region. Colorado is already seeing utilities like Xcel Energy put forward bold plans to begin developing the infrastructure our state needs to support an electric future.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated just how important clean air is for all of us.

of the United States and his wife are NOT immune to this horrific killer.

President Trump could lead by example If you think about it, Mr. Trump could make quite a difference in the fight to reduce the growing spread of the COVID-19 virus. If he were to start wearing a mask regularly and espouse the importance of protecting other people, I bet a portion of his followers would start wearing a mask in public.

Remember the old adage of leading by example? It’s a shame that it took an incident where he and numerous people around him were not wearing masks and several of them contracted the virus.

Remember another old adage, “It’s better to be safe than sorry”? Contrary to some of the president’s believers, the virus can be deadly. Over a million people have died from the virus throughout the world. In America alone, more than 209,000 fathers, mothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, young people, neighbors and others have lost their lives from it. In Colorado, we have seen the count inch up to 1,114 deaths directly caused by the virus.

Tri-County health data Let’s drill down on reported COVID-19 cases at the county and municipal levels to see where we stand. This data is available every day, but you need to know where to look. The data for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties comes from tchd.org, the Tri-County Health Department website, as well as the state website at Covid19.Colorado.gov and data has been reported as of Oct. 5.

Total virus cases by county stand at 9,870 in Adams County, 9,869 in Arapahoe County and 2,929 in Douglas County. Deaths for the three counties totaled 666.

Adams County is alarming, Jefferson unclear What is especially alarming is the 14-day cumulative incident statistics.

These are cases, not deaths.

Adams County has had 254 incidents per 100,000 population while Arapahoe County sits at 128.2 and Douglas County is at 117.8 per 100,000 population.

As you can see, Adams County is double what Arapahoe County’s statistics are. Why is this? What is Arapahoe County doing that Adams County is

Do-it-yourself plumbing is a pipe dream

ndoor plumbing.

The world’s population was able to do without indoor plumbing for centuries and still evolve.

There are those around the world who do not have indoor plumbing to this day.

QUIET Others, like campDESPERATION ers, find a way to rinse, wash and toilet.

Indoor plumbing is a great convenience.

Generally, indoor plumbing repair is not.

Attempting doit-yourself indoor plumbing repairs is Craig Marshall directly related to the age of the homeSmith owner. The older the homeowner is the less likely he or she wants to contort under a sink.

Plumbing technologies, according to the kids on “This Old House” have seen significant advancements.

However, one thing has not gotten any better; in fact, it’s become worse.

I refer to access.

First things first. An overtightened valve part next to a toilet was the difference between a relatively minor and inexpensive do-it-myself project and calling a professional with the Magic Tools.

Without the Magic Tools, I would

have compounded the problem. When I was younger, I compounded the problem a number of times.

An affable 38-year-old named “Dustin” was dispatched who never showed his face because he wore a mask through the entire operation.

He also wore booties.

As kitchen and bathroom designs and furnishings have become more refined and elegant the mechanics have been relegated to nooks and crannies in order to keep them out of sight.

Who wants to see a shut off valve right next to a beautiful sink?

Me. Wherever there is water in the home there is the possibility of trouble.

This goes for dishwashers, washing machines, even aquariums.

The builder’s grade dishwasher that came with the house and sat on a wood floor exploded.

The builder’s grade sump pump that came with the house exploded and flooded the basement.

Dustin said there were openings in the plumbing profession because it’s not seen as an attractive pursuit by young people looking for a career.

“I’d like you to meet my fiancé. He’s a plumber.”

“Oh, that’s too bad.”

If I had a family, I’d welcome a plumber.

If your son is an art major, like I was, don’t count on him to fix your leak.

If I had it to do all over again, I might have gone into plumbing instead and tried to find a way to standardize and simplify and make it possible for almost anyone to repair or replace plumbing.

This does not include running pipes from the basement to the bathroom or doing in-wall work.

But I should have been able to solve my recent problem without too much trouble or becoming a contortionist.

The part that had to be replaced was poorly made and doomed to begin with.

Dustin said many of his repairs stem from homeowners who have watched a YouTube video and think they know what they’re doing and want to avoid the high costs of a professional.

Dustin attributed costs to the equipment and the associated overhead involved, something I understood. He goes from job to job to job (in a pink truck) and encounters something unique at each one.

“Give me an example,” I asked.

He said he had to army-crawl into a crawl space to swap out kitchen disposal pipes that had leaked garbage that provided nourishment for the frogs he met along the way.

North Korea’s continued violation of human rights and the best solution

t the end of September, MBC News, a news source based in South Korea, covered a story about a man who mistakenly crossed the DMZ in the sea and was GUEST then killed by North COLUMN Korean soldiers.

Noah Jung The man was a government official who was near the maritime border of the DMZ on Sept. 21, when he crossed the border. Soldiers then proceeded to fire upon the unarmed man, killing him and possibly even burning his body. An investigation by the South Korean military revealed that the soldiers responsible wore hazardous material suits, leading them to the conclusion that the North Korean military had, in fact, fired on the man due to the danger of COVID-19 spreading across the border.

When thinking about the current medical infrastructure of North Korea, the murder may be understandable.

They do not have the advanced medi-

cal equipment that the U.S. does, nor do they have the means necessary to help stop the spreading of COVID-19 if it crosses the border. COVID-19 would likely do large amounts of damage to both the population and North Korea’s already meager economy, as well as possibly worsening the relationship between itself and South Korea, if it spread throughout the population.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un even apologized for the killing of the man recently on Sept. 25, a first-ever apology to South Korea for any situation.

However, this does not take away from the fact that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is, yet again, violating basic human rights.

There have already been numerous attempts to reveal the DPRK’s violation of human rights, including a 400-page report by the United Nation Human Rights Council’s Commission of Inquiry released in 2014, an unofficial 2017 follow-up report by the International Bar Association and countless testimo-

nies given by North Korean defectors across the world.

All of these revealed the various crimes that the DPRK has committed against its citizens, crimes including but not limited to starvation, persecution of Christians, forced labor, forced abortions, torture, rape, infanticide, and systematic murder.

None of these reports have garnered much international attention, especially with recent talks between the U.S. and North Korea about the allegedly more important denuclearization of the DPRK. Solutions have to be found but constant pressure to denuclearize and the prosecution of the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity are not going to work, at least, not in the long term.

The most realistic and the most likely solution is to end the ongoing Korean War. With the end of the Korean War, North Korea would finally denuclearize, having no more fears about foreign

invasions or other threats to the nation.

With denuclearization, economic sanctions would be removed and other countries would finally be able to support North Korea’s economy openly and freely. International organizations would be able to help North Korea end its dictatorship and communist government. With the end of the dictatorship and communism and its improved economy, North Korean citizens would finally be able to receive the basic freedoms that a citizen anywhere else in the world would have.

Constant pressure to denuclearize will not work. Economic sanctions will not work. Reports with clear evidence of human rights violations and war crimes do not work.

As of right now, the end of the Korean War is by far the best way for North Korean citizens to regain their basic human rights and liberties.

Northglenn has 599 cases and Federal Heights showed 341 cases.

Westminster water/sewer infrastructure and rates The city council will be treated to four workshops on Westminster’s water and dsanitary sewer infrastructure, costs and rates starting on Oct. 8. These sessions are in conjunction with the 2022 water and sewer rates.

As usual, an outside consultant was hired to facilitate the work sessions.

I would think someone on staff has the skills to be a facilitator. At the first workshop, council will discuss how to proceed with community engagement on the 2022 water/sewer rate process.

Given the angst, frustration, lack of trust and impact on families’ pocketbooks this summer, the city is wise to mattempt to calm the waters as they look ahead.

I don’t know why it takes four separate workshops to get through the morass of information, but so be it. I am glad that the council is not doing these sessions instead of study sessions as there is plenty to address regardless of the water and sewer rate debacle.

The public can observe the rest of the work sessions via the usual remote virtual media. Check the city’s website

Partial openings of Westminster facilities The city administration previously announced the partial re-opening of City Hall effective Oct. 12. Finally, the city administration is starting to open various city facilities. We know that the weight rooms and cardio equipment at Swim and Fitness Center, West View Recreation Center and City Park Recreation Center are now open. Also, the Westminster Sports Center will open and adult indoor soccer leagues will start October 26.

However, still no word on when the city libraries will open. I continue to be puzzled why Westminster is slower than other municipalities in getting the public’s facilities open. They would argue the same quote as above, that it’s better to be safe than sorry, but why are others able to be open to the public sooner?

Opening Of Westminster City Hall Also, I heard unofficially that staff and council have decided to return to study sessions and city council meetings in City Hall and be open to the public effective Oct. 19 for a study session.

Again, Westminster has been slow in getting back to open public meetings involving the City Council.

Now, I understand the concern about the COVID-19 and the need to be cautious. However, my sense is that some city officials have been quite comfortable with no public in physical attendance at their meetings. The public has a right to have access to their public

Virtual sports moves closer to reality

A virtual Denver Film Festival aims to entertain, provoke

and has yet to meet his new esports team face-to-face. Coaching his players virtually is a challenge, he said, but students have been able to remain connected through playing.

“There are a lot of clubs and sports that are just not playing or meeting right now,” Flori said. “The fact we can do this at home, from the comfort of our couch, to comfort each other and talk to each other — it’s really helpful for the students to keep up with that social engagement.”

Flori said he believes competitive gaming will play a larger role at the high school level as the sport continues to gain popularity.

“The difference between esports and every other sport is in the amount of students who already do this,” Flori said. “Esports isn’t new for students. It’s new for adults, but it’s not new for students. They already play these video games, whether they’re professional or not.”

More colleges are beginning their own esports programs and several offer scholarships. The top gamers can make a living off esports. In 2019, esports viewership through apps like Twitch and YouTube totaled 454 million, according to Business Insider. The industry surpassed $1 billion, according to a 2019 report from Newzoo, a games and esports analytics group.

ince so many of us have spent the bulk of our recent movie-watching time using streaming apps like Netflix, the only curation we’re getting is algorithms reflecting our own tastes back to us. That’s one of the things COMING that makes ATTRACTIONS film festivals so enlightening - they provide options viewers wouldn’t normally be able to access.

And so even though the 43rd annual Denver Film Festival Clarke Reader will be switching to mostly virtual this year, audiences will still be able to check out thoughtfully selected films from all over the world.

“I’m super excited that we can offer a festival of the same quality that we’ve been offering for the last 42 years,” said Britta Erickson, the festival’s director. “We’ve always challenged audiences, and now we’re giving them more options to see more films on the virtual platform. What they’re getting this year is the best of the best.”

The Denver Film Festival runs from Thursday, Oct. 22 through Sunday, Nov. 8, with the bulk of the films streaming on Denver Film’s virtual platform. The platform allows for viewers to stream their selected films on Roku, AppleTV or their computer or mobile device.

“It’s a tough situation, because we’d much rather have these films presented to people in the theater.

But we’re doing the best we can, just like so many other festivals,” said Matthew Campbell, artistic director with Denver Film. “But the power of film is that people still want good, quality films in their lives. And we’ve got a line-up with films that anyone can enjoy.”

As always, the 180 films to select from at the festival come from all over the world - some with familiar themes, like Women + Film and the Sheila K. O’Brien Spotlight on UK/Ireland Cinema, while others are new. Thanks to a partnership with the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, this year there will be selections from the Colorado Dragon Film Festival available, and there’s a new spotlight on social justice.

“We’ve always endeavored to bring audiences films that raise issues around social justice, so this isn’t a shift in the way we program - we’re reframing the conversa-

CHSAA considers sanctioning esports as second pilot season starts

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

olorado high school sports coaches and administrators have adjusted practices, games and meets to satisfy public health requirements amid the COVID-19 pandemic in hopes of returning to high school sports this fall.

While sports like cross-country were more easily able to manage social distancing and symptom regulation, team sports had more hoops to jump through — crowded buses, pep rallies, student sections are a thing of the past. Meanwhile, schools continue to experiment with virtual learning, having mixed results.

The scramble to bring back high school sports has opened a new door for a sport without the inherent intermingling issues other sports have: esports.

The Colorado High School Activities Association is considering making esports an official high school sport. The CHSAA esports pilot program begins its second regular season Oct. 15. By season’s end, CHSAA could decide whether to make esports a sanctioned sport.

“These are kids who are not typically involved in their high school community and experience outside of the classroom,” CHSAA Spokesperson Ryan Casey said. “By and

large, this is a population which is not involved currently in sports or activities, so we see this as a way to get them more involved with the community aspect of a school.”

The regular season includes eight games and four rounds of playoffs, with the championship scheduled for Dec. 11. A varsity team for “Rocket League” has three players, and a team for “League of Legends” has five. Most schools participating have at least a varsity and junior varsity team.

‘Level one’ Matt Flori moved to Colorado in 2017 to teach science at Gateway High School in Aurora. One year later, Flori heard rumblings of people organizing esports matches at the high school level.

Bouts of “League of Legends” and “Rocket League” took place in classrooms as clubs and developed a popular following. Dozens of Denver-area schools formed their own teams. Flori stepped in to organize the first high school esports tournaments as Gateway’s first coach.

“When I was growing up, not every single student played video games,” Flori said. “It wasn’t the cool thing to do. Nowadays, every student — male or female — plays video games.”

Flori was hired at Castle View High School in Castle Rock this year,

Breaking into the professional realm of esports can be daunting, which is where high school coaches can come into play, Flori said.

“A lot of amateur teams and collegiate teams are looking for the next big thing and next big student,” Flori said. “This will start to open up those avenues for the kids.”

‘More than a fad’ Chandler Farnsworth has been competitive his whole life.

The 17-year-old from Highlands Ranch grew up in a “golf family,” he said, and attributes his hours spent on the links to his fiery “Fortnite” play. A student at SkyView Academy, Farnsworth started gaming his freshman year. Now, as a senior, he feels can safely say he can beat anyone at his school in any video game.

“It’s a hobby for me,” Farnsworth said, “and I really wanted to do it for more than just for fun outside of school.”

Though “Fortnite” is not a CHSAA esports game title, students can still play exhibition matches with other titles during practices. The pilot program only includes “League of Legends,” a five-on-five battle-arena game, and “Rocket League,” a twoon-two game akin to soccer, for now.

Farnsworth helped start the first esports team at SkyView this year.

“We had more interest in esports than we did golf,” Farnsworth said.

To coach the team, the school hired Chris Curtis, a former esports pro and current program director for South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s esports department. Curtis

tion,” Erickson explained. “One of the timeliest films we have is `MLK/FBI,’ and there couldn’t be a better time to bring this film to audiences. Because we can all learn from the past.”

While this won’t be the familiar festival experience for many long-time attendees, there’s the hope that allowing viewers to do all their watching at home will bring in new audiences that have never participated before.

“We’re widening the net a little bit, and getting exposure to people who might be interested, but maybe never engaged before,” Campbell said. “We have the challenging films people are used to, and we also have a lot of very audience-friendly options.”

A classic horror story on a classic medium During this pandemic, many families have been using the screens the way people used to gather around the radio, so it’s fitting the Arvada Center is bringing a dash of the past back with its radio play of the masterpiece, “Dracula.”

Created by former Black Box Repertory Company member Zachary Andrews, this one-man radio adaption is available through Nov. 1; after you purchase a ticket you can access a Vimeo link of the play, and it can be streamed as many times as you want through the 1st.

has organized tournaments across the Front Range and is an advocate for the sport.

“Everybody is starting to realize this is a bit more than a fad,” Curtis said. “Schools are learning how to incorporate this more … You’re seeing students who wouldn’t enter in a physical sport enter this and it becomes the driving factor in increasing their grades.”

Curtis added that esports players are subject to academic requirements set by CHSAA similarly to other sports, adding a layer of academic motivation for interested players.

Farnsworth believes esports will continue its rise in popularity and will eventually help debunk the stereotype of the isolated, antisocial gamer.

“If you’re good at the game, people will find you eventually and you will get a community around you,” Farnsworth said.

And earning that CHSAA seal of approval could be crucial to the sport’s attempt at establishing credibility. There are 17 states nationwide that have esports as a sanctioned activity.

“More often than not, there is a big spike in participation once a sport is sanctioned,” CHSAA spokesperson Ryan Casey said.

Flori and Curtis agree esports will continue to surge in popularity.

Flori said some teams are working on adding a “unified” team for students with special needs.

“I think it starts at high school and leads into college,” Curtis said.

“I would not be surprised if within the next five to seven years you’re seeing a handful of high schools offering esports as a competitive offering with any other sport.”

Thornton plans COVID-safe Trunk or Treat substitute Haunted food drive offers candy and thrills in exchange for food donations STAFF REPORT

Thornton organizers hope a COVID19-safe substitute for the Halloween Trunk or Treat will have the same number of thrills as years past.

“We can’t do the normal Trunk or Treat because we normally get 4,000 people that come to that,” said Recreation Supervisor Renee Dodson. “We

For 2020, the city has combined the annual candy giveaway with a food drive, giving Trick or Treaters and their families some Halloween scenes to drive through while helping the local community.

“We’re taking some of the scenes we had last year and we’ll place them in the parking lot,” Dodson said. “In addition, we’ll have like 15 trunks that are going to create displays, all bigger than just a trunk. If you’re driving by, they’ll need to be more visible.”

The event is scheduled to run from 6-9 p.m. Oct. 30 in the south parking lot at Carpenter Fields. Residents should enter off of 108th and Colorado Boulevard.

“They’ll drive through these two rows of displays, and that’ll lead into four lanes where can drop off food for the food drive and pick up a bag of candy.”

Cars have always been a part of Trunk or Treat. In years past, residents and local businesses have been encouraged to decorate their cars for Halloween, giving away candy to the passing Trick or Treaters. They’ve also hosted series of scary areas last year for the kids to wander through — the scary “Garden of the Ghouls“ and young child-friendly “Boo Bayou“.

This year, people will visit the scary areas from the safety if their own cars. People attending have to be in cars, and they have to remain in them throughout.

“We’ll have a circus, ‘Le Freak de Cirque,’ we’ll have a voodoo area with kind of a swamp and a shack in a cornfield,” Dodson said. “One area will have a pirate theme and then we’ll have a tombstone crypt where the Thornton Dance Team will dance to ‘Thriller.”

At the end, the cars will drop off their bags of food and donations of protective equipment. All of it goes to Thornton’s Amazing Grace Church

A pair of Thornton Explorers put the finishing touches on a Thornton Police Department cruiser for the 2019 Trunk or Treat. This year, the city is hosting a drive-through haunted food drive with more elaborate trunks and some COVID-19 friendly scares. FILE PHOTO for its food bank. ‘’We’ll have three to four lanes that they can pull in and we’ll have staff to unload the donations, they’ll get their good bags and be on their way.”

Each car gets one goodie bag, Dodson said.

“We’re doing about 1,000 bags, so we need to do it per vehicle,” she said. “We don’t know how many we’re going to get, but I think it’ll be pretty popular. That’s 1,000 cars going through in three hours. We already have the route planned out, so we have overflow lanes ready if we need them.”

Bringing help and humanity to the isolated

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just a short distance off West Colfax avenue in Lakewood — an area not always thought of for charity, kindness and the spirit of goodwill — volunteers bring food to those at highest COVID-19 risk.

The small but growing group of volunteers has been hard at work feeding metro-area residents that have been hit especially hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. They are working with Benefits in Action, a nonprofit, in partnership with the State of Colorado to help those in need navigate health care benefits like Medicare, Medicare and SNAP (Supplemental

Nutrition Assistance Program) for the past five years. In March, the Lakewood-based nonprofit launched a nocontact food delivery program to serve those in need who are homebound, or have a high degree of vulnerability to the virus.

According to the numbers provided

by Jane Barnes, one of the founders of BIA, the need is definitely there.

“In March, we started calling the folks that we serve, and saying “how are you— is there anything you need?

And people said, “we need food,” so that’s how it got started” said Barnes.

“In the middle of March, we delivered no food. Today we have over 800 households on our list.”

Oct. 3 the group hosted an event

called “A Day of Food Delivery” to distribute boxes of food to 151 households with the help of more than 100 volunteers in 46 cars. According to Barnes, each household received enough food to last about a week.

When asked why she was lending a hand, one of Saturday’s volunteers, Laura Boggs didn’t miss a beat.

“Here’s the honest truth,” Boggs said.

“One in three Coloradans right now, is hungry.” In collaboration with local food banks and community partners, BIA has been able to deliver food to more than 300 households per week since ramping up during the COVID-19 crisis.

Reg Cox volunteers on behalf of one of those community partners, the Lakewood Faith Coalition. It partners with several like-minded organizations to work on the hunger problem in Jefferson County.

“The Coalition to End Hunger in Lakewood benefits from volunteers and the service energy of the faith community, so that’s where I step in.”

Cox said. “Covid caused everyone to pivot, so there was a gap based on food need, and Jane’s organization, Benefits in Action stepped in to fill that gap. We’ve built partnerships with the faith community, service clubs, colleges and universities, so Benefits in Action is just an example of stepping into the gap of a need and responding to it.”

David Kaye, a health educator who also trains people on diabetes prevention is another volunteer. He said as soon as the pandemic hit in March, he knew feeding people was going to be a problem, so he started looking around for organizations who could use his help. In April, he started

volunteering with BIA. He said the best part of the gig is simply looking people in the eye and making their day with some food.

“Just knowing that you’ve helped someone and making that connection is fulfilling,” Kaye said. He also noted that although he’s seeing some people who’ve become more food insecure because of COVID-19 and the unexpected loss of a job, he thinks that the fallout from the virus is shining a light on a problem that’s been untreated for far too long.

Kaye said that a general lack of resources contributes to many of the health conditions that lead people to higher-risk category when it comes to COVID-19.

“This (virus) has exposed this impoverished underclass in our society, and it also has brought to the forefront, the health disparities,” Kaye said. “I’m hoping that coming out of this, we can sustain this momentum to begin to attack those underlying factors.”

Although BIA is able to offer its benefits navigation program throughout the state, right now, it only has the capabilities to provide food delivery to Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson counties. In addition to its food delivery initiative, BIA has recently launched a new “Connectedness” program, which trains volunteers to make weekly phone calls to people who live alone, with the goal of making them feel a bit less lonely. The organization is also offering online peer support groups, led by a licensed therapist, and a new music therapy group, all in an attempt to make life better for underserved residents of our communities.

Ghostly flower child haunts Monkey Island. Maybe.

BY KIRSTEN DAHL COLLINS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The small island in Washington Park’s Grasmere Lake is a favorite with snowy egrets, black-crested night herons and reputedly, a ghost.

So says an urban legend about Monkey Island, unearthed by Denver historian Phil Goodstein. In his book, “The Haunts of Washington Park,” Goodstein recorded the saga of Beatrice Haven, a Denver flower child born at Porter Hospital in 1949.

Miss B. Haven, as she called herself, spent the late 1960s partying in southern Washington Park — then a notorious hippie hangout. An odd feature of this exceedingly odd little tale has the 20-something Beatrice studying cardiac nuclear medicine.

If so, she frequently traded in her patched bell bottoms and love beads for a white lab coat and headed over to the old St. Anthony’s Central Hospital to calculate the exact dosages of radiotracers used in heart scans.

Hmmm. Maybe she hummed the melody, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” at work.

At some point, Beatrice vanished under mysterious circumstances. But according to the story, she returns to Monkey Island at night as a glowing specter, looking for her old counterculture friends and provoking loud squawking from resident birds.

This spooky tale seems singularly appropriate to Wash Park. While the mansion-studded Capitol Hill neighborhood is reputedly crawling with the tormented spirits of Victorian politicians, plutocrats and society

hostesses, Wash Park has a hippie.

At the time, Beatrice wasn’t the only visitor to southern Washington Park who was ‘misbehaving.’ In the late 1960s, the entire area around Grasmere Lake acquired a raffish reputation. A walkway connected the lake’s eastern shore to the island, making it a favorite retreat for amorous teens and pot smokers.

From the island, an old time Wash Park resident fondly recalls, “you could see anyone coming.” A South High graduate remembers that bewildered freshmen who blundered into Senior Hall were punished by `walking the plank’ out to the island.

Somehow these freshmen always ended up wet.

All that monkey business may well have earned the island its name. Since it shares the same moniker with Monkey Island in City Park, where the Denver Zoo’s hooded capuchins roam free during summer months, people sometimes confuse the two spots.

Retired University of Denver Professor Steven R. McCarl, who grew up in Wash Park, clarifies the situation at Grasmere.

“The only monkeys on the island ever,” he said, “were some of my close friends.”

As the `youth quake’ of the latesixties continued and hippie gatherings increased, neighborhood people began to avoid Washington Park’s southern end, fearing drug deals and other crime. According to Goodstein, undercover policemen hovered near the lake, periodically arresting each other.

During the summer of 1970, just af-

As the sun sets over Grasmere Lake, birds return to their roosts on Monkey Island.

According to an urban legend, they may receive a supernatural visitor. PHOTOS BY TIM COLLINS ter the tragic deaths at Kent State, an ugly confrontation erupted between the police and a rowdy group of young people in the park. According to the Washington Park East Neighborhood Association’s website, 100 police officers swept the park with batons and tear gas, routing anyone who looked anti-establishment. Shortly after, the city tore down the bridge to Monkey Island.

That put an end to the monkey business. Except, perhaps, for antics of the supernatural kind.

While Colorado’s state health officials are advising 2020 Halloween revelers to wear masks and limit gatherings to 10 people, these guidelines clearly do not apply to ghosts. Our bell-bottomed Monkey Island wraith is free to misbehave just as much as she wants.

Cherokee Trail ends Horizon magical season Hawks can’t find the way to extend their unbeaten season

BY ADAM HOTHERSALL SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

With just two seniors on the roster heading into a unique 2020 season, Horizon manager Gary Mares didn’t exactly know what to expect.

What did he get? A 15-1 regular season with a berth as the No. 7 seed in the 5A state tournament. Despite the fantastic year, maybe a year or two earlier than expected, the Lady Hawks couldn’t find an offensive rhythm last Tuesday as No. 10 Cherokee Trail moved on with a 7-0 win.

A 1-0 start for the Lady Cougars began with a lead-off single from junior Ryleigh Cruz in the first inning, who came around to score on junior Caitlin Cushenbery’s double.

Lead-off base runners found their way on for CT in six of the seven innings; a major thorn in the side of the Horizon pitching staff and defense all afternoon.

“We talk about getting that queen bee, which is that first out,” Mares said after the contest. “You kill that queen bee, they all come down. It is what it is, and obviously, we didn’t play our best, but I’m going to tip my hat to Cherokee Trail.

They made us make the plays, and they made the plays.”

Despite the lead-off runners and spotty defense for the Lady Hawks, freshman pitcher Madison Vollmar held her ground against the deep, talented Cherokee Trail lineup.

Allowing five runs in 4 1/3 innings, only two of those runs were earned. Her three clutch strikeouts and eight scattered hits allowed kept her team in the game, but dominance in the circle from the other side consumed Horizon at the dish.

Junior Jenna Medhus tallied six strikeouts and just four hits in her seven innings of work.

Horizon freshman Hadley Hudson led the way with two hits while junior McKenzie Branting and Vollmar recorded the other two knocks.

“She (Medhus) threw well.

There is a reason why they are 14-2. They have a lot of upperclassmen, and that matters,” Mares said. “The more and more we can play in big games, the better we are going to get.

Now we see what drives these kids through the off-season.

I’m very excited because this class that came in just added to what we had, and they are just a bunch of great kids. They say `please’, they say `thank you’, and you look forward to coming out here.”

For a team that averaged 12.4 runs per game and outscored their opponents 199-42 this season heading into the playoffs, Medhus attacked the zone

Against Cherokee Trail in the opening round of the 5A state playoffs, Horizon freshman Madison Vollmar delivers the pitch Oct. 6.

PHOTOS BY ADAM HOTHERSALL against the eager Lady Hawks’ offense. However, this talented young group that graduates just two seniors in Rylee Crouch and Skye Hudson will be back.

“You can accept it, or you can learn from it. So, can we get better? Absolutely,” Mares said. “Getting that lead-out is going to be huge, learning from these opportunities. Obviously, we are young, being the first time we have been in state (tournament) for a long time, winning the league had never happened and hosting, I don’t know if we were too excited.

We had the energy, we just couldn’t slow ourselves down, especially offensively at the plate.”

Local teams geared up for fall football Six game season kicked off Oct. 8

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Helmets off, masks on” yelled Golden High School football coach Jared Yannacito as the team got set to begin their stretches at the start of their second practice of the season on Sept. 25.

It’s not a phrase one would expect to hear at a football practice, except in the year 2020 where it will become commonplace as Yannacito and coaches across Jeffco attempt to navigate playing a football season in the midst of a pandemic that nearly moved the season to the spring.

“It feels awesome, its so exciting to be back out here,” said Yannacito.

“Every single day we are out here it is a gift and I am approaching that way.”

Jefferson County Public Schools’ high schools recently joined what the Denver Post reported on Sept. 22 was a total of 218 teams in making the decision to play this fall after the Colorado High School Activities Association announced it was reversing course on the decision to postpone the season.

Jim Thyfault, the executive director of athletics and activities for the district, said it was a combination of factors, including test positivity rates being in the 2% rate at the time the decision was made and the success the district has had with starting other fall sports, including softball and tennis, that CHSAA approved to begin on time that led the district to

move forward with participating in fall football.

“We determined that the fall would probably be best just in the sense that we are being given the opportunity to play now and we should probably take the opportunity because we don’t know what spring might bring,” Thyfault said. “If we opted to play in spring and got to March and there was a shutdown like last year and we passed up the opportunity to play in the fall we felt like there wouldn’t be very many happy people.”

But while the season is now going ahead, this will not be a season as Jeffco’s teams and fans have come to know it. For one, it will be shorter at six games as opposed to the usual 10.

For another, it is not yet known how many fans will be to attend games— or whether anyone might be able to at all.

Thyfault said it was up to Jeffco Public Health to make that decision, which didn’t come until the week prior to the start of games on Oct. 8.

It will also ultimately be up to Jeffco Public Health to determine whether the season needs to be postponed or canceled if it determines that cases have increased to a point that it no longer makes sense for football to continue.

However, Thyfault said he is feeling confident that won’t happen and cited the lack of issues with the fall sports like softball and tennis that have already started playing, as well as the team’s commitment to safety.

He described the coaches as being very in tune with guidelines that have been established for football and said he has directed all teams to assign an

Junior wide receiver and linebacker Eddie O’Sullivan throws a pass during practice at Bell Middle School on Sept. 25.

PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO assistant coach to be the COVID coach responsible for making sure guidelines and expectations are followed.

“We’re very much sure that we’re following the protocol, and doing things the right way, because we don’t want to jeopardize, you know, not having the opportunity to play,” he said.

For Golden High School quarterback Joey Mancuso, the chance to get to

compete is an exciting, if bittersweet, one.

“It is a little disappointing that we won’t have all the normal fun parts of football season like homecoming games and a ton of fans, packed stadiums and things like that,” he said.

“But we understand why we can’t have those things and are excited to be out here practicing with the team.”

Clean air is particularly important for individuals and families that live near highways and congested roads. Clean vehicles will help make communities like Northglenn safer and healthier in addition to saving money on healthcare costs.

We all need and deserve clean air and less air pollution, regardless of where we live.

Katherine E. Goff, Northglenn Mason right choice for DA I have been privileged to know Brian Mason, the Democratic District Attorney candidate for Judicial District 17, for more than 20 years.

As a fellow attorney, I tried very hard to talk Brian out of going to law school and I am thrilled that he didn’t pay attention to me. He is one of the most intelligent and finest men that I have known.

As an attorney, I am supporting him because he has the integrity, honesty, compassion, and skills needed.

Brian Mason is the right person for JD17, which serves Adams County and parts of Broomfield. His motto is to do “The Right Thing, All Of The Time, No Matter What”.

He has been a prosecutor in the District Attorney’s office for 13 years and manages 30 prosecutors in that office.

Community safety will be his first priority, while still serving the most vulnerable. He will require independent investigations for any officerinvolved shooting and will create a civilian review board to increase transparency. He will correct inequities within his department and with community interactions. These include elimination of the school to prison pipeline, alternative programs

to incarceration, and expansion of an already successful Diversion Program for first time non-violent offenders, as well as more specialty courts.

My friend, Brian Mason, is the person to lead the District Attorney’s office in JD17 to keep our communities safer with just treatment for victims and the accused. I urge you to vote for Brian Mason in November.

Susan Laatsch, J.D., Thornton

C R O S SWO R D P U Z Z L E

McCormack for DA As a former District attorney for the 17th Judicial District, Adams and Broomfield Counties, I am supporting Republican Tim McCormack for DA, even though I was elected three times as a Democrat, and I want to tell you why.

I hired Tim in 1999, mentored him, tried a complex murder case with him, and have followed his career since I left the office in 2005. I know Tim to be a man of integrity, energy, and commitment who combines the best attributes of a skilled prosecutor and deft administrator. He is attuned to the times and understands the benefits of diverting minor offenders out of the system and providing treatment to those who will accept it.

I have watched as the office I once led with pride has been embroiled in scandal and deteriorated under the mismanagement of the current administration. Attorneys and support staff have left in droves and respect has been lost among law enforcement and court personnel. It is past time for a change and I just don’t believe meaningful change can come from within.

In my opinion, Tim McCormack is the best person to restore integrity, dignity, and accountability to the office of the District Attorney of the 17th Judicial District. VOTE, it’s important. Thanx for listening.
