Thornton’s Despite COVID-19 toll, city optimistic new chief about Downtown Westminster in 2021 A new hotel, bookstore wants to and apartment strike a building set to open by middle of the year balance In a time of tension around policing, Terrence Gordon talks about past experiences

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Terrence Gordon thinks there is a middle ground in what he sees as a black-and-white conversation about policing in America.

Thornton appointed Gordon chief in early December after former Chief Randy Nelson retired in June. Coming from Milwaukee, Gordon believes his array of experiences have equipped him for Gordon this pivotal moment in U.S. communities.

“There’s nobody who can say that I do not understand what’s going on in our society,” Gordon said. Before Gordon joined the force, a young relative of his died in police custody. Police shot other relatives of his. “I grew up disliking the police,” he said.

However, those negative experiences fueled his decision to join the police, where he could model a different behavior than what he saw. In 1995, he joined the Milwaukee Police Department. His career began as a patrol officer before SEE CHIEF, P2

The city of Westminster hopes to make up for its 2020 losses in Downtown Westminster.

City officials expect a new hotel, and new apartments and retailers to go online this year. The businesses will be the newest additions to the redevelopment of the 105-acre site that once housed the Westminster Mall.

“I did expect challenges. But everything we’re seeing is contrary to that,” said John Burke, Downtown Westminster development and construction manager for the city. “Professionals are very bullish on post-COVID activities.”

Developers and retailers weren’t bullish in 2020, though. An economic recession and indoor gathering restrictions made it all but impossible for new restaurants and shops to open. The pace of construction slowed because workers had to maintain proper social distancing. As a result, opening dates for Sweet Bloom coffee shop, the Tattered Cover Bookstore and the Origin Hotel moved to 2021. The Alamo Drafthouse movie theater, which opened in 2019, closed in 2020 and won’t open until restrictions loosen.

More concrete plans for a burger joint, fitness center and a boutique grocer became less certain.

Hope Pediatric Dentist and Lash & Company spa were the only businesses that opened in 2020.

The city hopes to rally this year.

January. By late spring, early summer, the Origin and Tattered Cover will open. New owners bought Tattered Cover in December, but that won’t affect the new location. Kwame Spearman and David Back, the new owners, told Colorado Public Radio they intend to move forward with the Westminster site.

“I think everyone is kind of looking towards 2021 to 2022 and beyond,” Burke said, “Right now, they’re looking at, ‘where can I invest that will have a return in that investment in two to five years,

not six months.’”

Also, the 226-unit Aspire Westminster apartment building is set to launch in 2021. It will include 10 townhomes, 25 studios, more than 100 one-bedroom units and 72 two-bedroom units. Soon after and right next door, the Market Hall, an indoor facility that will host food vendors and other retailers, will open.

Burke doesn’t worry about the long-term health of development in Downtown Westminster.

Northglenn and Westminster cap delivery service fees City Councils take action against third-party delivery services in defense of local restaurants

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Food delivery services like Grubhub, DoorDash and UberEats will have their delivery fees capped at 15 percent in both Northglenn and Westminster, part of an effort to help local restaurants.

Westminster and Northglenn city councils approved regulations capping food delivery service fees at separate meetings Dec. 21.

The Adams County Commissioners approved a similar measure at their Dec. 15 meeting.

“The COVID-19 crisis has hit our

moving on to investigations for 11 years. After that, he was captain, then director of the police academy, and then deputy commander of the administration bureau. After working in Milwaukee for 25 years, Thornton hired him.

Gordon values the time he spent in each role, especially as director

local restaurants and their owners and employees particularly hard,” said commission Chair Emma Pinter. “As the state has enacted stricter safety protocols that currently prohibit indoor dining in Adams County, we wanted to make sure they aren’t taken advantage of when offering takeout to their customers.”

The measures aim to offer financial relief to struggling restaurants. The state legislature passed a bill — which state Rep. Shannon Bird from Westminster sponsored — in its recent special session granting cities and counties the authority to regulate companies like DoorDash, Postmates, Grubhub and UberEats.

Delivery services charge restaurants a fee for every takeout order that service delivers. The fees are burdensome to restaurants whose revenue is declining but are relying on takeout.

Both the Westminster and Northglenn regulations cap the delivery fee at 15 percent.

Both cities will also prohibit services from garnishing tips, delivering an order with the restaurant’s consent. They also require services to disclose fees and other costs before the order is finalized. Both city councils unanimously approved the measures at Dec. 21 meetings.

Chad Horrell a representative of DoorDash, spoke against Northglenn’s regulations at its meeting.

“We oppose price controls like the one proposed. We believe there are much better ways to support local restaurants to get through the pandemic,” the representative said.

He also asked council to strike the disclosure language requirement.

However, Northglenn City Council was set on the proposed regulations and passed the ordinance without a second thought.

Westminster city councilors were

more reluctant. Several councilors were concerned about the government intervening in the free market economy.

“I agonized over this thought this weekend. I have a belief that if government is the answer to the fix, then we’ve got a bigger problem,” said Councilman Rich Seymour.

Councilors David DeMott and Lindsey Smith expressed similar concerns.

However, all three said the regulations are temporarily necessary. The ordinances in both cities will expire on March 31. Adams County’s restrictions end when the indoor capacity restrictions imposed on retail food establishments due to the COVID-19 pandemic are removed.

The two cities will be joining other metro cities that have approved similar measures, including Denver, Broomfield, Aurora and Commerce City.

of the police academy. There, he learned training is more about quality, not quantity. “It’s not necessarily a question of more training. It’s making sure your training, while it’s aligned with best practices, but also aligned with some inadequacies you’ve observed with serving your own community.”

Gordon hopes to instill the department with this message, and other best practices. While they are personal goals, he’s also starting at a time of extensive reform for police

departments across Colorado. In June, Gov. Jared Polis signed state Senate Bill 217, or Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity, which establishes new procedures that departments must abide by.

Gordon said the law will present a series of logistical challenges, but that he’s supportive of the law’s overall intent. “Accountability, transparency, and responsiveness to the community, those are more than just buzz words to me,” he said.

At the same time, Gordon thinks members of the public have unfairly portrayed police officers. “No matter what they (officers) see on the news or hear at a protest or demonstration, it’s important to remind them that the majority of any community still supports their police department,” the chief said.

Gordon said the misconduct of a minority of officers shouldn’t

represent all police. “Nobody wants those people gone more than us. But we are looking for balanced conversations and balanced discussions,” he said.

To best facilitate such discussions, the chief said he’s open to new ways of engaging with the community. One example is a community advisory board, which Northglenn City Council just voted to establish. Thornton City Council is scheduled to discuss establishing a police citizen panel at a Jan. 19 meeting, said city spokesperson Todd Barnes.

Whichever way policing in a community improves, Gordon wants people to realize, “We all have the same goals.”

He added, “We can be even more successful together than any of us could hope to be, trying to do it by ourselves. I truly do hope that.”

State shakes up plan for COVID vaccinations Seniors, essential workers move ahead in priority

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado again made significant changes to its coronavirus vaccination plan on Dec. 30, moving older Coloradans and essential workers, such as teachers, up in priority. But big questions about how it will all work remain unresolved.

Gov. Jared Polis said at a morning news conference that people 70 and older are now eligible for vaccination in counties that have completed inoculations of frontline health care workers. That means those older Coloradans are now placed alongside police, firefighters and paramedics in the state’s new Phase 1b of its vaccination priority scheme.

Also moved into Phase 1b: Teachers and others who work in education; food and agricultural workers; postal workers; people working in manufacturing; transportation workers; grocery workers; journalists reporting in the field; and people who provide services to those experiencing homelessness.

That is a significant expansion of the phase at a time when vaccine doses are still extremely limited and distribution remains a challenge.

But Polis said the state decided to prioritize older Coloradans after learning from its data that those 70 and older account for 78% of

WHO CAN GET THE VACCINE (AND WHEN) The following are updated priority guidelines for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, released by the state Dec. 30: Phase One (winter)

1A: Highest-risk health-care workers and individuals — People who have direct contact with COVID-19 patients for 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period; long-term care facility staff and residents.

1B: People age 70 and older, moderate-risk health-care workers, first responders, frontline essential workers and continuity of state government — Health-care workers with less direct contact with COVID-19 patients, including workers in home health/hospice and dental settings; emergency medical services personnel, firefighters, police, correctional workers, dispatchers, funeral services, other first responders and COVID-19 response personnel; people 70 or older; frontline essential workers in education, food and agriculture,

the state’s coronavirus deaths. The changes also bring the state in line with new federal recommendations issued earlier this month.

“To end the acute phase of the crisis, the potential for overrunning our hospitals, bringing the death rate down, saving lives and ending the pandemic, we wanted to use those initial doses on age 70 and up,” Polis said.

While Colorado officials have said they now have enough vaccine to inoculate all frontline health-care workers in the state’s Phase 1a, Polis

Phase Three (summer)

The general public: Anyone age 16-59 without high-risk conditions. said some counties are still working their way through that list. That means some parts of the state will be able to start vaccinating older Coloradans in the first week of January and some won’t — though Polis did not say which counties fall into which groups and the state Health Department did not provide an immediate answer, either.

The state is also far from completing vaccination of its other highestpriority group: staff and residents of nursing homes and other longterm care facilities. That campaign,

which is being run by the pharmacy chains Walgreens and CVS, isn’t expected to finish administering initial doses until mid-January.

Some details cloudy

It is also unclear exactly how Phase 1b will be rolled out, and there appeared to be confusion around the announcement of the changes.

On Dec. 29 and 30, officials in Eagle and Summit counties, for instance, announced that the counties would begin vaccinations for residents 75 and older. Polis later said he expected counties would change their plans to reflect the new state plan.

And there was also confusion about a second priority group. Polis said during his press briefing that Coloradans ages 60 to 69 will be given priority in the state’s Phase 2 of the vaccine rollout, which should begin in spring. A chart sent out by CDPHE, though, showed that age group as 65 to 69.

Polis said older Coloradans should call their local hospitals or community health clinics to check on vaccine availability and schedule appointments. In Summit County, officials said older residents should schedule an appointment online, with vaccinations to be given in partnership with Safeway and City Market.

But it was unclear if the state had a comprehensive plan to ensure SEE COVID, P19

Ten stories we talked about in 2020 There was a pandemic.

And some other stuff happened, too

County that burned nearly 140,000 acres to the Cameron Peak Fire outside of Estes Park that burned nearly 209,000 acres the fires spread across the state, sending clouds of smoke into the Front Range.

Local fire agencies responded, sending volunteer wildlands fire experts out to help battle the blazes in week-long shifts. It was until December snows finally began to fall that the fires were finally out.

STAFF REPORTS

Pandemic was the theme of 2020

The year 2020 is going to be linked forever with just one subject — COVID-19, the pandemic virus that shut down the whole world.

Sure, quite a lot happened, both locally and nationally, but absolutely everything had that COVID-19 tinge to it. From high school graduations to every level of sports to dining out and shopping, voting and going to church, no aspect of life was safe from COVID’s influence.

The disease began spreading in Dec. 2019 but it wasn’t until March 2020 that COVID came to Colorado.

The first three cases in Adams County were confirmed March 12 — a Northglenn woman in her 30s, a woman in her 60s from Westminster who was travelling recently and a Brighton woman in her 30s, according to a Tri County Health.

What followed next was spate of closings and quarantines, as cities rushed to declare states of emergency, stores and restaurants shut down or moved to delivery only and pickup models and grocery stores found themselves having runs on different items — toilet paper, paper towels,

hand sanitizer and flour seemed to disappear from store shelves, not recovering until summer when disease impact abated. Cities and towns discovered Zoom and other video networking programs as public meetings moved online.

The impact was hardest on students. High School seniors had to spend the last part of their high school career at home, away from friends, classes, sports and clubs.

When it came time to graduate, the ceremonies were virtual or drive-by situations.

Younger students and their parents had to cope, too, with virtual classes, while school officials worked to get the students back to in-person learning. Different schools tried different solu-

tions, mixing virtual and in-person classes, until a later fall surge sent everyone home for the rest of the year.

The first vaccines came available near year’s end, going primarily to health care workers, first responders and senior citizens with plans to include the general population later in 2021. The disease’s impact will likely continue to be felt well into 2021 and beyond.

Dry weather leads to dark skies

During an especially hot and dry summer, it seemed that the entire state was on fire by mid-August.

From Grand Junction east to Boulder, Colorado’s mountains endured one the worst fire season on record.

From the Pine Gulch Fire in Mesa

The biggest political battle of 2020 in Westminster had it’s roots in a 2018 City Council vote.

As August ended, a group of residents started collecting signatures with the goal of unseating four City Councilors that had voted earlier in the year to not delay an already approved increase in water rates. City Councilors Anita Seitz, Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz and Mayor Herb Atchison were all targets and the recall group handed in their petitions Oct. 30. The City Clerk found that there were not enough to schedule an election due to clerical errors and mistakes the group made.

Organizers began trying to raise additional signatures before withdrawing the effort in November.

Backers of the effort have said they will challenge the clerk’s decision in court.

Politicians playing games with lives and COVID aid

W

hat in the world was President Trump thinking when he decided to play games with the bipartisan combinaCROSS tion of a COVID-19 CURRENTS virus relief package and the timesensitive federal spending bill?

Trump’s threat over the Christmas holiday to not sign the two critical pieces of legislation caught Bill Christopher - everyone including his own party and White House staff - flat-footed.

What were the communications between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and President Trump during the negotiations with Congressional leaders of both houses and both parties?

Certainly, it was assumed that the President was supportive of what Mnuchin was saying and doing. Why didn’t Trump speak up DURING the negotiations on his desire to jump to $2,000 per person, reduce foreign aid and drop some of the pork that is so prevalent? With each day he delayed signing the relief bill, he was playing impactful games with peoples’ lives.

M

Each day of delay has caused more financial stress

First, we had the two Congressional Houses dragging their feet on another timely virus relief package.

Then as everyone was puffing out their chests and saying the federal assistance was overdue to the American people, we have the President throw a wrench in the works.

The additional days that he delayed in signing the relief legislation has had a real impact on Americans.

People saw their unemployment benefits expire. Their next month’s rent or mortgage payment were staring them in the face. Furthermore, with each day that a delayed decision on the President’s part meant further delay before individuals and families would receive their relief checks.

The COVID-19 virus has had such a huge negative impact on the economy and ensuing unemployment that many families are too broke and are reliant on food banks to put food on the their tables. Also, with unemployment benefits expiring, it made it all the more time sensitive to get the checks and benefits in people’s hands.

The politics of $600 versus $2,000 relief payments

Politically speaking, the question becomes what impact President Trump’s antics will have on his fu-

ture popularity as well as the impact on the Republican Party.

On one hand was the delay he caused, but on the other hand is his demand that a $2,000 per person relief check be sent instead of Congress’ $600 amount. While the U.S. House has now approved the $2,000 amounts, the U.S. Senate, via Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, has sidestepped the higher payments at least for the time being and is likely to play cagey in getting the higher relief checks rejected in the Senate.

While there is the segment of the public who would totally support the higher amount, there are those of us who worry about the federal debt.

The additional $1,400 per person would add a whooping $300 billion to the existing staggering debt. I do believe Congress got out of control with pork projects and programs that are not related to COVID virus relief. I think the President had a valid point but take a look and decide for yourselves.

Pork barrel projects called “virus relief”

Here is just a smidgen of the outlandish items which will be funded now that the President has signed the legislation: Remember, these expenditures are a part of the virus relief package, so ask yourselves how each expenditure relates to the virus.

There is $25 million for cleaning supplies for the Capitol Building, $95 million for the Agency of International Development, $720 million to Social Security Administration - with $200 million of it for people with the balance for “administrative costs”.

There is $25 million for transit infrastructure, $315 million for State Department Diplomatic programs, $100 million to NASA and $500 million for museums and libraries.

There are about 30 additional large expenditures in the legislation that don’t seem to relate to virus relief.

Where does adams county stand in pursuing “5 star” status?

You are probably aware that Colorado’s COVID-19 virus statistics have improved considerable in the last two weeks. All of the critical categories are showing meaningful improvement. Some counties which are currently under the Red designation on the wheel have successfully pursued the enhanced “5 Star” designation which in particular allows restaurants and bars to open to the 25% capacity level. Summit County and Larimer County restaurants are currently open thanks to achieving this designation. Arapahoe and Jefferson SEE CHRISTOPHER, P7

y sister and I are unalike.

My sister and I are so unalike I required a DNA sample before I agreed to include her in my QUIET will.

DESPERATION “Cindy” makes lists.

She makes lists of the lists she is going to make.

I make lists of the lists I am not going to make.

In a recent email, she wrote, “Yes, Craig Marshall I do write out a grocery list. Lately, Smith I’ve been going to the store about every two weeks instead of every week. At home I keep a list of things that I might want from many different places. Then before I go to Kroger or Target or wherever, I make a new list for only that particular store.

I wrote back, “As soon as possible, read your last email out loud to your therapist. And send another DNA sample.”

Me? I go to the grocery store every other day, partly to shop and partly to remind myself why I live alone.

Something happens to people in grocery stores that doesn’t anywhere else.

Anne Teak, a Stanford University psychologist, commented, “Shoppers will stare at cans they’ve seen all their lives and wonder if, after a century, Campbell’s might have added sea bass or rum to its tomato soup. I can’t explain it.”

She can’t explain human behavior and she’s a psychologist.

How can a sister and a brother be so different?

I’m not convinced we’re related.

We look different. She was home-

coming queen and I have a face like a first baseman’s mitt, and right now it’s the bottom of the ninth.

Cindy does what she’s told. Her doctor insisted that she schedule appointments to have her ears cleaned with cotton swabs.

And she does.

“Don’t they sell Q-tips in Michigan?” I asked.

HBO has been showing “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” a documentary that focuses on brothers Barry, Robin, Maurice, and touches on Andy.

Barry is the only living Bee Gee. Their biggest success came during the era of Top Forty radio when they had four or five songs in constant rotation.

Good for them; hard on the disc jockeys, as one admits.

For a while their music was unavoidable on AM radio.

The brothers squabbled, particularly Barry and Robin, broke up, got back together and had hit records in the 1990s.

There is no doubt they were brothers.

Not a speck of contrary data.

Sure, my sister and I have the same last name. But that says little.

“Smith” is the most common surname in the United States.

I want to make it clear that I am not ashamed of her. In fact, I am proud to be her brother, if, in fact, we are related.

But now and then something will come up, like her lists, that makes me question our relationship.

On separate occasions she has used the words “veggie” and “fridge.” Once in the same sentence.

I closed my eyes and let the moment pass.

P. S. Did you know that Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty are sister and brother?

2020 might have won, and 2021 has just begun WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

A

friend of mine is an expert in emotional relevance. His name is Alon Zaibert and he writes a terrific blog. In a blog that he wrote just before Christmas, Alon visits the topic of identifying and embracing the struggles we all face.

“It is clear we want to believe those who are sharing with us their personal story as in our core, we are good. We root for the hero who struggled and came out victorious. We relate to them because we struggle as well. And when we see someone who has done it, like us, we relate to them. We cheer for their achievements as if they are our own. But it seems that most of us use others’ victories as another excuse to stay stagnant. To not go ahead with their own desires and wishes. It is the struggle ahead that scares most of us.” — Alon Zaibert As I read his blog, I thought about the year that has passed, and the lingering impact and effect that the year has left us with. For many of us, it is that the year 2020 had won, as we lost people, jobs, businesses, and for some of us, we lost hope.

Yet it is also true that 2021 has just begun.

We are still facing overwhelming uncertainty, still grieving, worried, and wondering. The struggle is real, and I do not want to diminish the reality of that.

County are currently awaiting the decision on their respective applications. So, where is Adams County in “the hunt” on this important improvement status to assist restaurants and bars to be eligible to re-open?

Improving metrics are promising

While Adams County has the least favorable metrics of the Tri-County Health Department’s member counties, its improvement over the past two weeks warrants planning ahead and taking the initiative in getting local businesses ready to open again.

As of December 28, Adams County’s two week Cumulative Incident Rate per 100,000 population was 614.42 cases, a 28% DECLINE in cases. Adams County’s 14 day test positivity rate of 9.65% remains considerably above Arapahoe County (6.48%) and Douglas County (6.56%) and well above the 5% rate target before a county can begin loosening the restrictions, according to the state.

Why not jump start restaurant openings?

Adams County and its municipalities would do well to take the initiative to provide CARES funds or other funds to “jump start” restaurants and bars in preparing to seek the “5 Star” designation.

In particular, funds could be provided to assist in upgrading the ventilation, a key requirement under this designation. The seating has to be 10 feet apart; not 6 feet. Customer

Each year we recognize the first day of January as the start of something new.

New hopes and dreams, new goals and objectives, and a new and fresh start at life. This year seems different as we have many of the same battles still ahead. My encouragement is that we do identify and embrace the struggles that we are facing.

Let’s lean into them instead of trying to outrun them. When we try to run away from our struggles, sooner or later we will run out of energy, we will become exhausted, and now we will have to face our struggles from a disadvantage as we are wiped out from our attempt to avoid and evade them.

As Alon says, “It is the struggle ahead that scares most of us.” Whatever struggle we are facing, if we allow it to, the grip of fear will control us. No matter the magnitude of what we face, we still get to decide what we will allow and what we will not allow when it comes down to how we will choose to respond.

Fear is real. We need to try and lean into that fear and find the first seed of courage, that when nurtured, will grow and give us the strength and courage we need to embrace our struggles and fears. Remembering what Mark Twain said, “Courage is the resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear,” has always been a

tracking and regular temperature reading of staff are also mandated.

The point here is to not wait until the state would allow the “5 Star” 25% seating opportunity but to get a jump on the situation and hopefully save some restaurants in so doing.

Historic Westminster brew pub on hold

Remember the fanfare with the City of Westminster heavily subsidizing a proposed brew pub in Historic Westminster on 73rd Avenue?

Well, I checked recently on the status of the project. You will recall that the city had committed approximately $900,000 to rehab the former Rodeo Supermarket building. That amount does not include the purchase of the property several years ago.

This past summer, in conjunction with the council discussions on the 2021 budget, it came out that an additional $400,000 was needed.

Increased costs from prior estimates had come up for HVAC and electrical work plus staff had not previously included utility tap fees.

The city council decided NOT to add the $400,000 in the 2021 City Budget. According to city staff, the Olde Westminster Pub and Tavern is currently “on hold” due to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic.

So, if you were looking forward to having a “cold one” at this location in the coming months, you best look elsewhere.

source of inspiration for many.

The last word is control. We need to focus on the controllable instead of becoming consumed with what is uncontrollable. The things that we can control as we embrace the struggle are our behaviors, attitudes, and actions. We can make the choice to love and support those around us in their struggles. We can control what we read, watch, and listen to, filling our minds and hearts with positive thoughts and winning words. The year 2021 has just begun, how will you embrace the struggles and the opportunities that may come your way?

I know that embracing the struggle or leaning into the struggle might sound like a rah-rah message, but I assure you it is not. It’s probably the best advice that had been passed along to me in my own struggles, and now I am sharing it with you. I really would love to hear how 2021 is beginning for you at mnorton@tramazing. com. 2020 may have won, and 2021 has just begun, giving us time to do what we can to help make this a better than good year.

‘Set small goals’ and ‘find the joy’ Pandemic has taken a toll on mental health, but resolutions may be helpful

‘It’s been said that some of us are hanging on to a life raft while others are on a yacht.’

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

fter the most disruptive year in generations upended the social, financial and mental well-being of billions across the world, the question many face with the arrival of the new year is: What’s next?

For some, the tradition of new year’s resolutions may serve as a natural springboard for considering that question. It’s not easy, though, when “fatigue” has been the buzzword defining many people’s collective state of mind for months.

That includes “Zoom fatigue, pandemic fatigue, compassion fatigue,” said Cynthia Grant, the chief clinical officer for AllHealth Network, a nonprofit mental health organization in the south metro area.

“I think everyone is trying to stay safe and sane, but the prolonged nature of what we’re dealing with leaves many emotionally depleted, overwhelmed, feeling guilty, uncertain, helpless and exhausted by the choices we have to make every day to keep ourselves safe,” Grant said.

In some ways, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted life similarly to how a natural disaster does, affecting people’s mental health on a wide scale.

“The toll that a natural disaster takes on individuals, families, and communities is well-known in the mental health field,” said Grant, who is also a licensed clinical social worker. “They disrupt our daily lives and remind us of our lack of control in the world. COVID forced us to change our routines and disconnected us from our social supports. The quarantine and safer-at-home regulations stripped away many of our coping mechanisms that help tame mental illnesses. We couldn’t see or hug our friends, go to the movies or even work out at the gym.”

Cynthia Grant, chief clinical officer for AllHealth Network SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

But the pandemic has reshaped life in unique ways, too, according to Shawn Worthy, a clinical psychologist and professor of human services at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Natural disasters “are events that are sudden — they have a big impact and then you can respond, so they’re very acute situations,” Worthy said. On the other hand, the pandemic is “kind of the chronic situation. This has been going on for almost a year now, about 10 months now. So the length of the difficulty, I think, impacts people differently.”

Short bursts of traumatic experiences can be harrowing, Worthy said, noting that comparing trauma can be problematic.

“But what I can say is that the long-term, chronic mental health drain that the pandemic is having on most people certainly is creating this kind of slow-rolling but intense trauma for most people,” Worthy said.

On top of that, the pandemic has affected some vastly more than others in a financial sense, Worthy noted.

“If you have a job you can do at home or is relatively safe, that’s one thing,” Worthy said. “But if you have a job in the entertainment

IF YOU NEED HELP Cynthia Grant, the chief clinical officer for AllHealth Network, a nonprofit mental health organization in the south metro area, offered advice to those feeling more depressed, anxious or stressed out than usual due to the pandemic.

“Learn to say no to things that are not a priority for you or that may add to your burden. Continue to speak up and ask for what you need. More people are asking for help, and more mental health resources are available than in the past: traditional therapies, apps (like CALM and Headspace) and group support,” Grant said. “Know that you are not industry, restaurant industry, travel industry, hospital industry, (the effect is great). A lot of them are thinking of how to pay the bills, how to have a holiday dinner — all those very basic-level things.”

The start of the pandemic was marked by a “great solidarity” in fighting the coronavirus, but as the crisis continued to rage, “it hasn’t been the same boat for all of us,” Grant said.

“It’s been said that some of us are hanging on to a life raft while others are on a yacht,” Grant added.

But “others (face) job loss, the burden of remote work and remote school, grief over the loss of a loved one, or being isolated for so long it had bred loneliness, depression, anxiety, sleepless nights and increased substance use,” Grant said. “These are normal reactions to an abnormal situation.”

Colorado Office of Film recognized for highlighting native voices COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

Never underestimate the power of storytelling. Not only can the art entertain and enlighten, but it helps keep histories alive - both personal and those of a group of people.

That’s why the Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media received international acknowledgement for its entry in the Makers and Shakers “Film Commission Initiative of the Year” award ceremony this month. The office was recognized for the program it launched with young members of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in the southwest corner of the state - a program that created a film which told some of their

stories and highlighted ways for young people to get into the industry.

“There were seven international entries in the category, and only three were from the US. And from all those entries, ours was the only one that wasn’t about a location - it was about inclusivity,” said Donald Zuckerman, director of the office. “We didn’t win the award, but we did receive a special commendation, and it was a great honor just to be recognized.”

The awards were selected out of more than 1,000 film submissions by judges that included executives from Warner Bros, Netflix and the Locations Manager Guild

International In a provided statement, Manuel Heart, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe’s chairman said, “The choices we make are for the future generations and this film highlights the importance of teaching our traditions and songs to our children. We have come a long way from our past history and we have a long way to go to ensure a better future for our children.”

The partnership with the tribe began in 2018 after a visit to the area with the Lt. Governor’s office. When it became clear SEE READER, P9

‘The relational factor’

Those wondering how to navigate the hurdles may be reshuffling their priorities. Asked how the pandemic could tend to affect the goals people set, Worthy said there’s no specific research to guide that answer.

But “what I’m guessing is that typically, when people have faced trauma, their response is one that is more focused on the more fundamental kind of issues,” Worthy said. “So like, spending better quality time with family, not taking for granted your grandma and grandpa who you haven’t been able to see (consistently) in a long time.

“Hopefully for a fair number of people, it’ll be those kinds of fundamental things — the relational factor in our lives,” Worthy said.

Still others have been unable to go out and enjoy their passions — fitness and travel may be high on the list of people’s priorities, Worthy said.

Even something as basic as saving money could be a popular goal so that people can prevent ending up in a compromising situation again, Worthy continued. Some behavior may harken back to those who went through the Great Depression and kept money in their shoeboxes and other obscure places to guard against financial hardship.

“You’d find money in their mattress, people from that era,” Worthy said. “It was fascinating.”

Set small goals, help others

Grant thinks that in the new year,

there was a lack of summer programs for high school students, the office decided to offer something that taught students about sharing stories and the film industry.

“We worked with the Colorado Film School in Aurora and sent three people there for two weeks, and while they were there, they worked with a half-dozen students on a nine-minute film,” Zuckerman said. “We were able to premiere that film at the Denver Film Festival. We invited the kids down and many had never been to Denver before - it was a really heartwarming moment.”

Like everything else this year, the program was impacted by COVID-19, but the aim is for it to return next summer. And the office is in conversations to create similar programs with other native communities around the state, according to provided information.

“We want people to feel included, and one of the reasons we launched the program was to include the native American population in what we do,” Zuckerman said. “We do a lot with education and take people all around the state to talk about how they got into the business, not just of film, but video games and any kind of content creation.”

many will set goals related to making physical and mental health a priority.

“We are also seeing people set priorities with a focus on making time to connect in our relationships with friends, family, neighbors, and even the server at our favorite restaurant or the person we used to see on at the gym,” Grant said.

“I also recommend that people prioritize setting goals that are fun and bring joy — whether that is something small like dancing in the kitchen, taking a sunrise walk, an aspirational goal like reading 52 books in a year or taking a longawaited trip with friends. Find the joy!”

Grant’s advice is to set goals that are “reasonable, do-able and something you can look back on

and know you hit it and checked the box.”

“I encourage people to set small goals — what Arianna Huffington calls ‘microsteps,’ a big idea that’s too small to fail. For example, if your goal is to cut your social media use in half, start by not having your phone with you when you’re eating, then try not to have it in your bedroom,” Grant said.

“There’s a little bit of pride in each step that gets accomplished that makes us feel good about achieving our goals.”

Worthy emphasized the dual benefits of focusing on helping others.

“If you can turn the focus away from yourself and onto potentially helping other people who are less fortunate, that is always a good thing, because it makes you feel

good and it makes someone else feel good,” Worthy said, using the example of volunteering at a food bank or a similar establishment that helps others.

Sunlight can be another tool: Take advantage of the Denver area’s 50-degree winter days when they happen. Just getting out and walking around in the sun is good for the mood, Worthy said.

Asked about any new year’s resolutions of his own, Worthy laughed and replied that his goal is to live well every day.

“It’s really trying to strive for balance in my own life, and balance means between financial balance, physical-fitness balance, social balance — all of those things,” Worthy said, “to keep working on that and trying to find a positive center.”

See the inkwell used to end the Civil War When Robert E. Lee’s Confederate army surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865 at the Appomattox Court House, the costliest war in America’s history finally came to an end. But the scars and legacies from that war still linger in American society, which means it’s more important than ever to be aware of the cost of turning on your countrymen.

The city of Northglenn was already studying how its police department operated when activists across the country began reacting to the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minnesapolis.

The city had just agreed, in Dec. 2019, to an $8.75 million settlement stemming from a 2017 officer-involved shooting and had hired consultants BerryDunn to review the department’s operations.

When the report was finished, it recommended creating an advisory group to monitor the department, bring it closer to the community. It’s designed to oversee staff training and professional standards, recruiting and hiring and internal affairs.

Councilors approved the board in December, with interview in the next few months. The board’s first meeting is expected to happen later this spring.

Group to consider ways to quiet airport

Six cities in the northwest metro area will join Jefferson County in a focus group to consider how to calm noisy aircraft takesoffs and landings at Rocky Mountain Municipal Airport. Member communities include Westminster and Arvada.

The group can only suggest changes, such as modifications to flight paths. The Federal Aviation Authority has the final say, but airport officials said agency has tended to listen to what similar round table groups have suggested at other airports.

The group had its first meeting in December.

Northglenn sculpture recast

A popular sculpture that had been stolen from the side of the road early in 2019 returned to its home more than year later.

Police still do not know who stole the 1,000 pound bronze bear cub sculpture “Bee My Honey” from the entrance to the city’s Grant Park sometime after April 26, 2019.

Uplands progresses, despite opposition

The controversial plan to develop 235 acres in Shaw Heights for housing moved ahead in February as Westminster City Councilors approved three land use definition changes.

But councilors promised to look carefully at future decisions and developers Oread Capital moved slowly during the COVID-19 outbreak, hosting virtual meetings with residents.

Meanwhile, opponents of the plan to develop a working farm, south of 88th Avenue and west of Federal Boulevard, continue to protest the effort, going so far as the protest a September Westminster Chamber of Commerce event that was hosted by the developers.

Misunderstanding bee-hind missing hives

When the owners of the Karl’s Farm lot north of 120th and Irma Drive in Northglenn asked a friend for clear some junk before a sale went through, he went to the wrong portion of the lot. Rather than clearing a way a truckload of old fencing, wooden palettes and stuff, he wound up collecting 30 hand-built hives containing more than 30,000 bees.

The mistake was discovered Feb. 8 when the beekeeper, 90-year-old Boris Cherny went to check on his charges and found all traces of them gone.

Cherny had built the hives himself and tended the insects as hobby, paying rent occasionally with honey from his bees.

The hives ended up being sold and relocated to Golden, with two-thirds of the bees dying in the process. The buyer agreed to return the hives to Cherny while his friends raised money to replace his bees.

COVID vaccinations underway at Platte Valley Brighton hospital staff excited, relieved to begin getting immunity shots

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Christmas came a few days early for Dennis Bradberry, a respiratory therapist at Brighton’s Platte Valley Medical Center, and the rest of his hospital colleagues in the form of sore arms, a bright orange sticker and a growing immunity to the COVID-19 virus.

“Everybody is saying `My arm is sore,’ but it’s worth it,” Bradberry said. “When you’ve seen what we see all day, every day, it’s totally worth it.”

Bradberry received his vaccine Dec. 23, the second day of COVID-19 vaccines at the hospital. Caitlyn Major, communications manager for the hospital, said they set up a room to bring in all 900 hospital associates, get them screened and vaccinated.

Once they get their shots, each

The large health system HealthONE, which operates several hospitals in the Denver metro area,

associate is monitored for 15 minutes to check for allergic reactions and then sent on their way.

They must return for a second shot after 28 days to reach full immunity.

But rather than just sitting around, the hospital’s post-vaccination waiting area has a celebratory feeling, as associates talk, eat candy and share stories.

For Broadberry, it’s easy to understand why the employees are excited to have the vaccines.

A respiratory therapist in critical care, he’s been treating COVID1-9 patients since March.

“That’s what’s awesome about this today,” Bradberry said. “This is the first step towards ending this. And rather than just having us at the hospital being the ones dealing with everything, this gives every individual person the ability to help us out.”

The hospital began offering the vaccine to local fire fighters, police and emergency medical personel on Dec. 30.

said it is still vaccinating all of its workers and doesn’t have vaccine doses available for the general public.

Polis estimates it will take four to five weeks to give initial doses to all Coloradans 70 and older.

The state Demography Office estimates that more than 560,000 Coloradans are 70 and older. Polis did not provide estimates for the sizes of other groups in Phase 1b.

It remains uncertain when those

second vaccine to be released in the United States, manufactured by biotech company Moderna. The first vials reached the Brighton hospital Dec. 22 in the afternoon.

Staff were set up to begin injecting staff in two hours and they had given the vaccine to 99 people by the end of the day.

“It won’t take us very long,” John Hicks, president and CEO of Platte Valley, said. “I think, a little after Christmas and we’ll have the majority of employees and medical staff vaccinated.”

The Colorado Department of Public Health is working out the next stages of vaccination, which would include seniors living in group situations, police, fire and other first responders. Hicks said he does not know what those next stages will look like, but said he’d be pleased to have Platte Valley involved.

Both vaccines rely on attaching genetic information to a protein.

Pharmaceutical company Pfizer made the first vaccine released in the U.S. and the protein it uses requires it be kept in ultracold conditions, about 94 degrees below zero.

That requires special cold equipment and room for storage. And once vials are thawed for use, they must be used within two hours.

“Moderna uses a different protein,” he said. “It took them a little longer to work with it, but it’s much more stable. We can keep it in a freezer, just a regular freezer.”

The vaccine has a much longer life once it’s been thawed, of about six hours. He expects to see the Moderna vaccine being made available in rural areas and at neighborhood shops when it’s publicly available.

other groups in Phase 1b will become eligible for their shots. Polis said local health departments would work to identify eligible businesses within their counties and would then contact those businesses to set up vaccination times.

The state expects that Phase 2, when younger people with high-risk health conditions and other essential workers become eligible for vaccination, won’t start until spring.

Phase 3, the final phase when all

healthy adults who have not already been vaccinated become eligible, won’t start until summer, Polis said.

Still, Polis said he is optimistic that the end is in sight.

Sore arms

Hicks noted that all of his employees will be walking around with sore arms from the vaccination. That’s a good thing, Hicks said.

“That’s how you know it’s working,” he said. “You want that reaction, to some extent. You want your immune system to recognize that it’s been injected with something that’s not quite right and begin building defenses. That how vaccines work and the pain you get shows that it’s doing the jobs.

For others, it’s the safety net for your future or the unplanned life events like medical emergencies that may arise.

Qualifying for a reverse mortgage, it’s simple and easy. Qualification is based on these important factors: • You (the borrower) must own the home.

• The home must be your primary residence (you live there at least six months and one day per year).

Even if you have bad credit, have had a bankruptcy, or a foreclosure, you are not disqualified. In most cases there is a remedy for past credit problems. So, don’t think you can’t get the help you need.
