LPS opens search for new board member With Carrie Warren-Gully leaving for county post, officials say replacement should rise above politics BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
lic for four months, staff quickly turned their attention to online offerings. “It’s amazing how quick you move when you have to,” said Tim Nimz, the museum’s director. “We had an art exhibit scheduled to open the week after we closed down. Two days after it was supposed to open, we had our first-ever virtual tour up online. We suddenly realized we may not know exactly what we’re doing, but it’s an opportunity to stretch our muscles.”
As Carrie Warren-Gully leaves the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education for her new role as a county commissioner, district officials say her replacement should be someone who is ready to leave political agendas at the door and tackle the tough issues facing Warren-Gully schools. Warren-Gully is scheduled to be sworn in as an Arapahoe County commissioner on Jan. 11. She tendered her resignation from the LPS school board in December, leaving a vacancy on the five-member board. The board officially announced the beginning of its search for her replacement in a special meeting on Jan. 6. Applicants must have been a registered voter within the district boundaries for at least the last 12 months. Applications, which are

Littleton Museum looks to future Despite layoffs and closures, one of city’s cultural gems works to keep shining BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Littleton Museum’s farms are fairly quiet these days. On the 39-acre living history farms portraying life in pioneerera Littleton, the blacksmith’s
hammer seldom rings against an anvil. Rarely does kindling crackle in the Bemis House’s iron stove. There’s no clopping of Clydesdales’ hooves on festival day hayrides. Hit hard by COVID-era restrictions and budget cuts, the museum — one of the crown jewels of Littleton’s cultural offerings — begins 2021 denuded, but led by a determined, innovative staff dedicated to carrying on the mission of connecting people with the past — and building back stronger for the future.

State Rep. Champion recounts ‘extremely polite’ D.C. protests Outgoing lawmaker was in Washington to show his objection to the electoral system BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After mobs of President Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, forcing the evacuation of both houses of Congress, outgoing Colorado state Rep. Richard Champion, R-Columbine Valley, who attended the protest but remained outside the Capitol, called the event “extremely polite.” Champion — who until Jan. 13 repreChampion sented Littleton, Columbine Valley, part of Centennial and nearby areas in the state House — said he flew to Washington, D.C., with his wife, Trish, to attend the “Stop The Steal” protest to object to what he called a “broken judicial and electoral system.” Champion called the event that culminated in the storming of the House and Senate chambers “very peaceful.” “It was very well organized and without mayhem or anything else,” Champion said by phone from a

hotel room near the Capitol in the evening hours after the riot. “Apparently a couple young folks got into the Capitol, which we never saw.” Both houses of Congress were evacuated in the middle of deliberations over the certification of the Electoral College vote that found Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election. Photos from U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, D-Aurora, show Capitol police with their guns drawn as the mob breached the chamber. Champion said he didn’t know the identity of those who stormed the Capitol. “I have no idea who they were
supporting,” Champion said. “My understanding is one of them had a hammer and sickle tattoo.” Photos show many members of the crowd wearing “Make America Great Again” hats and waving Trump flags. In a followup email, Champion’s wife blamed the storming of the Capitol on “Antifa,” citing a YouTube video purporting to show leftist antagonists among the mob. Champion called the evacuation of Capitol overblown. “I don’t think anyone was in danger,” he said. “There was nothing I saw that warranted that kind of response.” Inside the Capitol, one woman protester was shot while climbing through a broken window during the storming of the building and later died, according to news reports. Three others taking part in the protestdied during the siege: one man of a heart attack, another of a stroke, and a woman was apparently crushed by the crowd. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was allegedly beaten with a fire extinguisher before dying later in a hospital. No arrests had been made in Sicknick’s death as of Jan. 9. Champion said he and his wife were at the protest for roughly four hours, and spent time on both the east and west sides of the Capitol. “We saw a lot of praying, a lot of chanting, the singing of ‘The StarSpangled Banner’ and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance,”
Champion said. “The people have the right to protest. Capitol police were very competent. People were thanking them for being there.” Asked if he supports President Trump’s call from July that protesters who damage federal property should face 10 years in prison, Champion said, “Absolutely.” Champion said the real outrage was that he saw only two portable toilets provided for the protest despite the throngs of protesters, blaming the number on Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser. “It was flat-out wrong,” Champion said of the number of portable toilets. “The mayor, that’s what they do. That’s how they try to show us what they think of us.” Champion said the event paled in comparison to protests in Denver over the summer that left the Colorado State Capitol vandalized. “This is nothing like what they did in Denver ... They were completely rude, and they destroyed property,” Champion said. “This group today, if they saw trash on the ground, they’d pick it up.” Champion said he believed the November presidential election was “not fair” and questioned the results. “I don’t think it was fair or reasonable or right,” he said. Trump and his supporters have lost more than 60 lawsuits against elements of the presidential election in numerous swing states, in courts SEE CHAMPION, P16

Coloradans in Congress recall harrowing riot Bronze Star medalist Crow prepared to fight if necessary
Offices closed All County offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 18, 2021 in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado’s U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse had just finished speaking on the House floor on Jan. 6 in defense of President-elect Joe Biden’s November victory when the Democrat from Lafayette noticed something was wrong. Speaker Nancy Neguse Pelosi was escorted from the chamber. Then House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who was sitting behind Neguse, was removed from the House by U.S. Capitol Police. “It signaled to every- Crow body that something was amiss,” Neguse said. Neguse was ignoring his cellphone to focus on his important role as one of a handful of Democrats assigned to push back Buck against Republican efforts to overturn the presidential election results. He had no idea that a destructive mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters had breached the U.S. Capitol building. They were steps away. “I texted my wife and told her that I loved her — that I love Natalie very much,” Neguse said, referring to his 2-year-old daughter. Rioters were banging on the doors to the House. It sounded like gunshots. Lawmakers were instructed by police to stay calm and prepare to evacuate. They were told to put on gas masks. Four members of Colorado’s congressional delegation were in the U.S. House chambers during the deadly riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6. All four escaped unharmed. Neguse and U.S. Reps. Jason Crow, D-Aurora, and Ken Buck, R-Windsor, recounted a harrowing ordeal to The Colorado Sun, denouncing the actions of the rioters and vowing to get back to work as quickly as possible. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Rifle, who was sworn in on Sunday, was the fourth member in the chamber. Lawmakers were summoned back to the House that night to continue the debate. Crow was keeping tabs on the proceedings from the gallery above the House floor. He was there just to watch, sitting with 15-20 other Democratic members of Congress and preparing to speak later in the day. Crow was watching the scene outside the Capitol unfold on his phone and knew that rioters were

getting closer and closer to the House chambers. He, too, saw Pelosi get whisked away along with Vice President Mike Pence. Police then began evacuating members from the House floor. “By the time they got the members off the floor, the mob had broken through into the Capitol and cut off the route out,” Crow said.

Officers created barricades
Capitol Police then began locking all of the doors into the House. Officers moved furniture from the chamber floor to barricade the doors and windows. But the rioters were determined as they yelled and pounded on the entrances. They were undeterred despite being at gunpoint. “We were getting ready to make a stand,” said Crow, a former Army Ranger who received a Bronze Star. “I thought for a couple minutes there that I was going to have to fight my way out.” Crow began running from door to door in the gallery, making sure that each one was locked. There was nothing available to use as barricades because seats in the gallery are bolted down. He ushered older lawmakers away from the doors. He instructed his fellow congressmen and congresswomen to remove the lapel pins marking their status as lawmakers so that they wouldn’t become targets. He helped them put on their gas masks. He held the hand of U.S. Rep. Susan Wild, a Pennsylvania Democrat, reassuring her that they would be OK. “Susan is a friend and she was upset,” Crow said. “And I was upset, too.” A photo captured the moment. Wild was lying on the gallery floor, apparently taking cover behind a railing. She clutched her chest in one hand, her face paralyzed with fear, while Crow grasped the other. Like Neguse, Crow reached out to his wife, Deserai, to tell her he loved SEE RIOT, P15

Confusion defines process as seniors wait for vaccines Metro residents 70-plus will have more access in coming weeks; teachers must wait BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As Colorado continued the early stages of its COVID-19 vaccine rollout, Gov. Jared Polis announced that people 70 and older would soon be eligible for vaccination in certain areas. The No. 1 question during a Tri-County Health Department town hall roughly a week later: How will those 70-plus-year-olds actually get it? “We understand that it’s frustrating that ‘eligible’ has not Douglas yet equaled ‘access,’” Kaitlin Wolff, Tri-County Health’s COVID-19 vaccine coordinator, told callers during an online and telephone town hall event Jan. 7, where local officials took questions from callers. As of that night, it appeared that residents age 70 and older in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — and possibly nearby areas — didn’t all have an immediate avenue to vaccination as shipments of COVID-19 vaccines from the federal government remained small, Wolff said.
“Our clinics are unable to provide vaccines to community members who are 70 or older right now,” said the website for Tri-County Health, which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas. The governor announced that, starting Dec. 30, people 70 and older are eligible for the vaccine. But whether they can access it depends on vaccine availability. Some hospitals and other health care providers in the Tri-County jurisdiction have begun “phase 1B vaccinations” — a stage that includes people 70 and older but also some health care workers, first responders and “essential” workers — but not every provider has moved into that phase, according to Tri-County’s website. “Since limited amounts of the vaccine come in weekly, and even smaller amounts are distributed throughout the state, not every provider has all the vaccine needed to vaccinate everyone 70 and older,” the website said as of Jan. 7. The earlier phase 1A started in mid-December and includes the highest-risk health care workers, and staff and residents at longterm care facilities — places such as nursing homes and other care locations. Once areas have taken care of those with higher priority, they can move on to Coloradans 70 and older. Those people should expect that “more and more places will start offering” the vaccine, Wolff said. Hos-

Douglas said. He added: “We want to make sure they don’t get left out.”
The state’s COVID-19 website lists information to help Coloradans 70 and older access the coronavirus vaccine through different health care providers. It includes the UCHealth, Denver Health, Centura Health, Banner Health, Kaiser Permanente, HealthONE and SCL Health systems, among others. For more information, see the website at covid19.colorado.gov/for-coloradans/ vaccine/vaccine-for-coloradans. Local updates on vaccine availability in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties are also available at Tri-County Health Department’s website at tchd.org/866/ COVID-19-Vaccines. By phone, for more information on the vaccine, Coloradans can contact the Colorado Health Emergency Line for the Public, or “COHELP,” at 303-389-1687 or 877-462-2911. Hours are 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Answers are available in multiple languages.
Who’s up next?
pitals and federally qualified health centers are among the places where those Coloradans could receive the vaccine, she added. “We expect all our hospital partners in our three counties and the metro area — or most of them — should be opening clinics for 70plus” residents, Wolff said, adding that scheduling will likely look different in different places. “But the role of state health department and Tri-County will be to (show) that information.” That information was to appear on both the state and Tri-County’s websites, and staff were pulling that information together “right now,” Wolff continued. A caller who identified herself as a 91-year-old mother asked if the public needs to register online, noting that she and other seniors may have trouble signing up on the internet. Many health care systems, such as Centura Health and UCHealth, have information displayed on the state’s COVID-19 website, noted John Douglas, head of Tri-County. Scheduling appointments may require computer access, he noted. “For our seniors who aren’t so computer (savvy), we’re working with the state health department on how we reach out to those people,”
In early December, the state listed that the highest-risk health care workers and individuals, and then moderate-risk health care workers and first responders — phases 1A and 1B — were to have access to the vaccine this winter, according to Colorado’s COVID-19 website. Up next in phase 2 were other high-risk individuals and essential workers in spring, and then would come the general public — anyone age 18-64 without high-risk health conditions — in the summer. That’s phase 3. Colorado’s recent update to the timeline expanded the list of those eligible in phase 1B, adding people 70 and older and certain frontline “essential” workers. Those now include health care workers with less direct contact with COVID-19 patients, first responders and correctional employees along with workers in education, food and agriculture, manufacturing, public transit, grocery stores, direct care providers for Coloradans experiencing homelessness and other professions. “We utilized our first doses at the end of December for our highestrisk health care workers,” Wolff said. She added: “We are finishing up that group of people and moving on to other health care workers who are less high-risk and other first responders.” Amid calls from school district leaders to prioritize school staff for vaccinations, the state’s move of teachers and others who work in education to phase 1B came as welcome news in that industry. But several weeks may still pass before the vaccine generally reaches school staff. Taken together, all the timeline changes may place education workers in line for late winter or spring — a spot that likely comes too late to affect in-person learning for the spring semester. “I’m hearing we’re not going to have our vaccine until after everyone 70-plus, so that’s looking like March,” a teacher said during the telephone town hall.

Littleton police receiving COVID vaccine, but some decline City officials decided not to require staff to get the shot BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Littleton Police Department officers and staff are beginning to receive COVID-19 vaccines, though nearly a third of the department has indicated they are not interested in receiving it. LPD officers began receiving the vaccine at Littleton Adventist Hospital in the final days of 2020, said department spokesperson Cmdr. Trent Cooper. “So far so good,” Cooper said. “This is a big step toward getting back to normal.” Internal surveys showed 70% of department staff are interested in receiving the vaccine, Cooper said. The department consists of 82 sworn officers and roughly 30 nonsworn civilian staff. “Not everyone wants the shot, and that’s OK,” Cooper said. “Some are concerned about the safety of the vaccine, unfounded or not. Others are refusing on ideological or political grounds, but that’s their right and it is what it is.” Studies show people who received the Pfizer vaccine showed fewer serious side effects than those who received the placebo in clinical trials, according to the Centers for

vaccinated to achieve herd immunity, though Trump administration vaccine czar Moncef Slaoui said in November the number was likely about 70%. Cooper said the department will continue to encourage staff to get the vaccine, and will continue to require mask use in city facilities. He added the department has been diligent about COVID mitigation and hygiene procedures. “At the end of the day, if it’s not interfering with their ability to do their job, whether they get the shot is none of our business,” he said. Relph said the city has taken COVID-19 very seriously, and said while no city staff have died from the virus, several have family members who have died from it. “We have put huge resources into keep staff safe,” he said, including a large-scale effort to help staff work from home or be protected when working in city facilities. Relph praised Littleton Adventist Hospital for the vaccine rollout. “They have been awesome the whole way through,” he said. “Their coordination and scheduling have been nearly flawless. We’re very pleased.” After the police department, Relph said public works and building department staff are likely next in line for the vaccine because they can’t do their jobs from home. “There are still difficult months ahead,” Relph said, “but I’m feeling encouraged.”

Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You? by Sam Stroup
N
ow that you are retired, are you finding yourself struggling to make ends meet on a fixed-income? Did you know a reverse mortgage might be the solution you need to get to financial stress lifted and allow yourself the breathing room you deserve? With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can eliminate your monthly mortgage payment.* Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, the money you receive is tax-free and can be used for any purpose you choose. Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. With a reverse mortgage, you can access a portion of the equity in your home while you continue to own and live in your
home so you can get cash and make life a little easier. To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not. We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible! Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Apparently this road was paved with good intentions
arry and I went for a Sunday drive. Only I made a big mistake. I forgot to put the “Sunday Drive” sign in the window that lets everyone know we’re on the road QUIET for leisure, not for DESPERATION the rat race. I apologized to the dog and told him to fasten his seat belt. Sure enough, before I could get to the corner we were followed too closely by someone who Craig Marshall was in a hurry. Smith Undoubtedly in a hurry to get somewhere and start tweeting and texting. The Bangles and I used to look forward to Sundays. The Bangles, an all-woman group, considered Sunday their “fun day.” (“Manic Monday” was written by Prince. Prince had a crush on
Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs. Who didn’t? However, the song was originally intended for another group. For some reason, “Manic Monday” was credited to Prince’s pseudonym: “Christopher.”) Sundays will never be the same. Not the way they were. At least not here in the city. Maybe on the eastern plains, Sundays are slower than the rest of the week. Not around here. I drive the limit, maybe five over. It’s not enough. I’m holding everyone up. “Get out of the way, you plodder, you slowcoach, you malingerer. Your mother was a hamster.” Maybe I don’t have the right kind of vehicle. All I have now is this station wagon. No one respects station wagons. Station wagons plod because they’re family cars and dad doesn’t want to endanger his wife and kids.

The beautifully choreographed final scene, when the truck in flames goes off a cliff, features the exasperated groans not of the truck driver but of the truck. I’m not an advocate of road rage. It’s tempting, but you never know who is in the car behind you. It might be Satan and Satan might be having a particularly bad day. As cars pass us, the drivers usually look at me with disdain and generally with sneers. When I was a kid, the Smiths often went for a Sunday afternoon drive. We were a one-car family and it — most often a Ford — was used primarily for commuting and errands, but not for leisure. Perhaps the answer is to take an afternoon drive in the middle of the night.

Let the story, our story, unfold
Capitol riot was un-American
As a Littleton councilmember I swore to follow the Constitution and the law. At council meetings I pledge allegiance to our Republic. I take these commitments absolutely seriously, and I believe that means condemning as reprehensible the raid on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Like so many people in our city, our nation, and all around the world, I watched it all unfold on live TV. I was stunned. I still can’t express how furious and sad I feel. Some rioters carried “We the People” flags. Ironically, they disregarded that one of the fundamental purposes written into the Constitution is to “insure domestic Tranquility.” Five people are dead, including Capitol Policeman Brian Sicknick, tragically killed, his department said, after “physically engaging” the mob. My sincere sympathies go out to his loved ones. Rioters also violently halted public congressional debate, again throwing aside the Constitution and bedrock democratic procedure. Article I gives legislative authority to the Senate and House, and very obviously not to mobs. The First Amendment, likewise, protects peaceful assembly, not chaos. The Constitution makes mayhem deeply un-American. The Capitol raid tried to harm our shared Republic and undermine the rule of law. That is beyond unacceptable, and there should be no partisanship in totally denouncing it in the strongest possible terms. I hope we can take our shared anguish and in time channel it into something positive through a renewed insistence that we are American, and that America is a nation of laws. The mob is anti-American.

place. But the perception is the same: You can and should tailgate a station wagon. What I’d like to have is an AstonMartin DB5 that spews oil and carpet tacks. Harry and I were tailgated five times between home and Elizabeth where I thought we’d be rid of the problem. Surely in Elizabeth on a Sunday the roads are benign. I was wrong. A red pickup honked at us. “Move it on over, you bootless fustilarian.” Steven Spielberg’s first film was a dandy titled “Duel.” It starred Dennis Weaver as a businessman who is driving his Plymouth Valiant in Southern California on the way to see a client. Weaver’s antagonist is the unseen driver of an old Peterbilt 281 that chases him up and down the remote highway. There’s very little dialogue and none between Weaver and his adversary.

o you remember that old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover?” Well, if you are like me, and if you don’t mind admitting just how many times that you made the WINNING big mistake WORDS of rushing to judgment too soon, we can probably agree that we may have made some poor decisions along the way because we Michael Norton judged someone or something prematurely. We form opinions based on the way someone looks, the car they drive, the career they have chosen, the house of worship they attend, the friends they keep, and the posts they place on social media. We judge others who drive too fast or too slowly, use their blinker to make a turn that is so far away, or they don’t use a blink-
er at all. Seems like lately, and all too often, we have become the judge and the jury. My Uncle Harry used to say something to me each time we talked. He would say, “Now Michael, just remember that there is never anything so good that it can’t get better. And there isn’t anything so bad that it can’t get worse.” I must have been a little hard of hearing because as an eternal optimist I only paid attention to the first sentence, “There is never anything so good that it can’t get better.” And I have found that to be one of the character traits of many successful people who have endured hardships, survived bad economies, and found opportunity in the middle of crises. “Did you ever notice that some people go around looking for the bad like there is some kind of reward for it?” - Zig Ziglar If we look for the bad, we will find it for sure. If we look for the good, we will find that as well. And as Andrew Carnegie said, “Sometimes
you have to move a ton of dirt to find an ounce of gold.” You see, we are only two weeks into the new year, and many of us have already judged or decided what the book on 2021 will be about. If we are determined that it will be good or better than good, that is awesome. If some of us have already given up and can’t see anything but trouble ahead, my encouragement would be not to rush to judgment so quickly. What if we look at the upcoming year as a 365-page book with a prologue, 12 chapters, and an epilogue. The prologue might be the year that we just left behind, but it could also be the fantastic years that preceded 2020. And if we jumped ahead and were able to read what happens next in 2022, we might be able to feel like we are on solid footing or at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. As much as the prologue or forward of a book sets

MUSEUM FROM PAGE 1
In the months that followed, several staff were furloughed as plunging local sales tax revenue hit city government. Still, the museum produced a variety of online content, including how-to lessons from historical interpreters, virtual tours of art exhibits, and a popular video series called “Ask Farmer Steve.” Clobbered by cuts
Despite the innovation, the ripple effects of COVID clobbered the museum. By the end of the year, the museum was down seven employees. One historical interpreter was laid off, and another took early retirement, accounting for half of the paid interpretation staff. The curator of interpretation resigned. Layoffs and early retirement also took three front desk staff and a custodian. From a height of 21 full-timeequivalent positions before the pandemic, the museum was left with 15 employees — too few to keep the farm buildings open to the public. Hours of operation were cut from 47 a week to just 30 — so few that the museum’s accreditation through the American Alliance of Museums would have been threatened had the agency not adjusted their criteria for pandemic-battered institutions. Visitation, which had climbed as high as 160,000 in recent years, plunged to around 25,000 in 2020 — and donations plunged with it. As of early January the sprawling main museum building — home to exhibits on Littleton history, two temporary exhibit galleries, a theater and multipurpose rooms — remains closed to the public. Though the museum grounds remain open by appointment, the farm buildings are still locked. The 2021 events season, including summer camps and concerts, is still yet to be determined. There are bright spots: a donor who wished to remain anonymous gave more than $60,000 to the museum, and Nimz said the plan is to film a new introductory movie for visitors and overhaul the theater to be more accessible to people with disabilities Nimz is keeping his chin up. “Yes, our ability to deliver service has been reduced, but that doesn’t

the stage and the epilogue lets us know what happens afterward, it’s really the story that compels us to want to read and keep reading. Perhaps we received books as a gift this season, maybe we already had a stack of books waiting to be read. And I’ll bet that we just can’t wait to get into the stories, characters, adventures, romances, dramas, or comedies of each one. So, let’s not rush to judgment about what may or may not happen this year. Let’s not judge this book by its cover just yet, instead maybe we can get into the story, get into
reduce the quality of the service we provide,” he said. “We’re still an important place to help families rebalance their lives. There’s a hunger for places to go, for educational content, and we’re still providing that.” Reshuffling the deck
Meanwhile, the museum’s place in the City of Littleton’s organizational structure has seen a reshuffling. As layoffs and early retirements rippled through city government, leaving several departments without heads, City Manager Mark Relph reorganized the city’s organizational chart in late 2020. Nimz, who for the past eight years had been the director of both the museum and Bemis Library, was reassigned to strictly oversee the museum — the job for which he was originally hired in 2002. Deputy library director Nancy Trimm was appointed to head the library. Both the library and museum were placed under the purview of Kelli Narde, the city’s longtime communications director, whose title is now Director of Cultural and Media Services. In its first 2021 meeting, city council unanimously ratified a pair of resolutions reshuffling several boards overseen by the library and museum. The resolutions eliminated the library and museum boards, folding their duties into the Littleton Arts and Cultural Commission, which was expanded from nine members to 11. Overall, Narde called the reshuffling a positive evolution. “Communications, the library and museum are the most public-facing departments in the city,” she said. “It just makes sense. We can coordinate and share resources on exhibits, events, marketing, video and all this digital programming we’re doing now.” Narde said city leadership hopes and plans to rebuild the museum to full strength, but it will take time. “With this level of staffing, the museum just can’t be open at the levels it was before, even once we get COVID under better control,” she said. “That said, the city didn’t finish 2020 in as bad of shape as we thought we might. It could’ve been worse.”
Build back better
Narde is working with Nimz and other officials to brainstorm new revenue streams to better support the museum.

One idea: an admission fee for non-residents. “This is one of the only museums in our entire region that doesn’t charge for entry,” she said. “Residents should still get in free. The taxpayers of Littleton have paid for this facility and should get to use the heck out of it, but I think out-of-town visitors would tolerate a nominal fee. Frankly, I think a lot of people are surprised there’s no admission fee as-is.” Another idea: more events. “I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag yet,” she said, “but we’re talking about things more like art receptions.” Though the idea has been floated in years past, Narde said she did not foresee pushing for the museum grounds to be used as a large-scale wedding or event venue. Supporting the museum has a larger purpose too, she said: it’s a linchpin of longer-term efforts to market Littleton as a regional tourist destination. Although Visit Littleton, a pilot project to boost local tourism, is largely dormant in the COVID era, Narde said the museum could be a big draw. “If you have to come to the Denver metro area, why not stay in Littleton? While you’re here, why not eat in our restaurants? Why not take
your kids to our museum?” Relph, the city manager, said Littleton is somewhat unique in still operating a city-run museum and a library that hasn’t been absorbed by a regional district. “There’s a financial commitment there that’s pretty deep, but I don’t see us pursuing a separation from the city any time in the foreseeable future,” Relph said. “The connection to the community is just too close and too deep.” Relph said he has been impressed by the new digital offerings from the library and museum. “I couldn’t be more proud of how they have stepped up,” he said. Will the city be able to bring the museum back to full strength? “The short answer is yes,” Relph said. “The service might change in the long view. We’re trying to react to what the community wants and needs going forward. It may not look like it did a year ago. What can we do better? But that said, we definitely want that museum back at what we consider full service.” Narde said she understands that the museum is an easy target for cuts in tough times. “This isn’t law enforcement,” she said. “It’s not snow plowing. It’s not maintaining the sewers. But it’s at the heart of quality of life in Littleton. It will adapt. It will thrive.”

‘Viewing the world in a different lens’
Some people like to use trekking poles when they go snowshoeing. SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
Snowshoeing is inexpensive option for socially distanced outdoor activity BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
W
ith health officials continuing to encourage outdoor activities amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there’s one affordable winter activity that’s getting folks outside, active and socially distanced: snowshoeing. The sport, essentially the winter version of hiking, is a great way to enjoy being outside in the winter without having to empty one’s pockets to buy ski or snowboard gear and pricey lift tickets, said Frank Bulkley, owner of Eskimo Ski Shop in Centennial. “If you want to get outside and get some fresh air, it’s a great way to do it. It doesn’t have to be a 10-mile hike either,” he said. “It’s a simple way to get out there and do something different in the snow.” The only things needed to start snowshoeing are waterproof boots, waterproof layers like a jacket and pants and of course, the snowshoes, which can be rented for under $20 per day. While hiking boots and shoe spikes can perform well when a trail is packed down with snow or a bit icy, snowshoes really thrive in snow about a foot or more deep, Bulkley said. Jake Thomas, manager at Mountainside Gear Rental in Golden, says the best way for beginners to try out snowshoeing is to head to familiar territory. “(Go) somewhere you’ve already been, somewhere you’re comfortable with going that’s not super remote,” he said. “Maybe somewhere you hike in the summer.” It’s also best to go with a buddy and remain within cell service, he said.

“Any precautions you would take while hiking, you should take while on snowshoes,” Bulkley said. That includes carrying a headlight, being ready for weather changes, bringing plenty of water and snacks and knowing how to react if confronted by wildlife. Those snowshoeing off trails or in the backcountry also need to be aware of avalanche precautions. Many hiking websites, such as AllTrails.com, will have comments from recent hikers on snow conditions for specific areas or trails. Thomas likes to recommend Golden Gate State Park, St. Mary’s Glacier

and trails around Nederland to those interested in snowshoeing. How they work
Snowshoeing is largely intuitive. The shoes snap on and off easily and are lightweight enough to carry in a backpack until needed. “They’ve come a long way from the big clunky ones that looked like tennis rackets on your feet,” Thomas said. Snowshoes vary in size based on a person’s weight and the snow conditions. They work by distributing the wearer’s weight across the surface of the snow, preventing the person
from sinking more than a couple inches. “As long as you’re fit and able to push yourself a little and try something new, it’s really for everyone,” Thomas said. “It is a little more physically demanding than hiking.” Thomas likes to bring trekking poles when he goes out. They aren’t essential, but they can help with balance, he said. “In the wintertime, when everything is covered in snow, things are much more serene and quiet. You get to be more in touch with what’s going on around you,” he said. “It’s viewing the world in a different lens. Looking around and seeing untouched snow all around you is a really cool thing.” Crescent Moon Snowshoes, based in Englewood, also makes foam snowshoes, which are perfect for beginners, said Tanner Dunn, vice president of the company. The shoes strap on and connect to the heel of the wearer’s shoes, unlike other snowshoes, Dunn said. “You can give them to anyone, they’re so intuitive and easy to walk in,” he said. Normally, the company offers direct sales and rentals of these shoes, but this year, their inventory has been depleted as a surge of buyers have appeared during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dunn said. “It’s one of the few winter activities besides skiing,” Dunn said. “Snowshoeing is easier to go and grab real quick.” For Dunn, one major benefit of snowshoeing is how easy it is to feel like you’re the only person on a trail. “It’s so quiet. I love hiking, too, but it’s really hard to find a trail that’s not packed — whereas snowshoeing, it’s just dead quiet. It really is different,” he said. “So many people hike but not that many snowshoe.”

Playa Bowls joins downtown eatery lineup Offering ‘superfruit bowls,’ shop is first in Colorado for New Jersey chain BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Downtown Littleton welcomed its newest business on Jan. 2, as Playa Bowls opened its doors at 2490 W. Main St. The shop, which sells smoothie-like bowls centered around acai fruit, had a line stretching down the block long before the 11 a.m. opening. “I’m originally from New Jersey, which is where Playa Bowls started,” said Shane Sawin, at the head of the line. “So when I heard there was a Playa Bowls opening 20 minutes from my house, I knew I had to come.” The Littleton location will be the first Playa Bowls in Colorado, and the chain’s 103rd location. The Littleton shop opened in partnership with local entrepreneurs Cody Benisch and Robert Wissing.
“We decided to bring the best acai bowls from New Jersey to Colorado,” Benisch said. “This is our first of what we’re hoping to be multiple locations in Colorado. We just love that we were able to bring an amazing product that we love and share it with everyone in Colorado.” Benisch has a background in hospitality and retail, while Wissing has strong restaurant experience. The two met 10 years ago, and “were honestly both just wanting out of our desk jobs,” Benisch said. “So we searched for something to do, and this was just a really good fit for us.” “It’s looking good,” Benisch said of opening day. “We have a good strong staff, and it seems like the community is going to come out in support.” Serving smoothies, juices, and acai bowls all made with fresh fruit, Playa Bowls offers a healthy treat to customers. The shop is decorated with surfboards, bright colors, a tin ceiling and lots of leafy art. “(We want) to feed everyone superfruits and keep their immunity

with us.” “We’re just super excited to serve our community and be a part of it,” Wissing added.

When I first got a job cleaning offices, I was afraid that people wouldn’t like me or find me threatening. I look out of place in an office setting, but I’ve gotten to know a lot of tenants. My initial assumption about what people would think of me was wrong. People don’t see me as a bad person because I decided to do this. They see the good in me, that I’m just another human being trying to make it, pay my bills, and live my life.
Young artist turns mental turmoil into peace through drawing Coping through art
I do a lot of abstract art. It’s what comes out of my head. I have schizoaffective disorder — I was diagnosed in 2018, and art became a therapeutic way to deal with it. It helped me grow as a person. I’ve been in therapy for three years. Art helps me deal with the breaks from reality I experience. My therapy has taught me a lot of coping mechanisms and grounding skills and how to structure my life better. My breaks in reality can be so unorganized and messy. To get past it, I have to dissect it. Drawing it out on paper allows me to give my thoughts meaning, put them aside, and move on.

A collection of some of those images filled Paulson’s Zoom program and some are exhibited in the Creative Lounge and Lobby at Vita through March. The public is invited to walk through this exhibit between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday. Ring at the front door. Owls similar to the pictured screech owls have a nest nearby and residents hear them calling. Apartments in the building’s floor plan have bird names, which brought Paulson’s presentation even closer to home. Near to his own home, he watched a woodpecker hollowing out the rotting stump of a newly felled tree, making more space for her brood, and he managed to identify a hummingbird flower favorite. He began to recognize bird calls, starting with “chicka-dee-dee-dee” and put his camera to work. A handsome, though raucous,
Lower-risk health care workers
A group that does have a clear path to the vaccine currently is health care workers who have less direct risk of contracting COVID-19. Questions from a caller who owns a clinic for chiropractic care and massage therapy, and from a caller who works at a dental office, sought to determine how employees in those kinds of settings could access the vaccine. For such medical providers who have not been connected to a source for vaccination, Tri-County Health is “actively taking requests,” Wolff said. She advised such medical

At Reynold’s Landing, he recorded a great blue heron which had just speared a rainbow trout for lunch ... And handsome Steller’s jays visited his back yard. “They aren’t supposed to be here.” (We have heard other accounts of migrants who were a bit off-course of late. Probably a common thing, but it seems
workers to determine a contact at their companies who can call Tri-County and provide information on which employees should get vaccinated. Tri-County is working to match medical providers to people who will administer the vaccine for their workers, Wolff said. The department plans to follow up within weeks, she added. She and Douglas emphasized the haphazard nature of rolling out a vaccine quickly amid a pandemic. “The analogy of the year, as Dr. Douglas says, is we are constantly building an airplane as we’re flying it,” Wolff said.
the world is off-course ...) A bald eagle was pictured “enjoying the thermals”; a red-tailed hawk carried a rabbit home for offspring, and a red-naped sapsucker at Staunton State Park was enlarging a cavity for its babies. Two black and white downy woodpeckers were “just outside my window,” Paulson said, and a stunning shot shows a golden eagle coming right at the camera, with a crawdad in its beak. Cedar waxwings are a favorite subject, Paulson commented. “I have one snatching a mosquito right out of the air!” A petite white-breasted nuthatch walked down a tree trunk upside down, as is its custom ... And then there was a shot of a beaver swimming along happily, followed by a stunning image of a western tanager ... and a chipping sparrow with fledgling. Seemed like “All’s right with the world” for a too-quickly-passed hour!

I want to make something out of my art. I hope to start a clothing brand — I make patches for jackets out of canvas and fabric markers and sew them on. I’m also experimenting with custom finishes like leopard print collars. They look pretty cool. I had a bit of an epiphany: Every time I make a men’s jacket, I get too attached and I want to keep it. Today I bought a couple women’s jackets to work on, and that way they’re easier to sell when I’m done. Learn to have compassion for one another. In the tech age, it’s easier than ever to believe stereotypes before you know who someone is. Not everyone is out to get you. Put yourself in others’ shoes.

U.S. senators, representatives tell of ‘anarchy,’ ‘attempted coup’ STAFF REPORT
Members of the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate took to social media to share their experiences from the Capitol in Washington, D.C., amid protests and violence on Jan. 6. U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, via Twitter
• “President Trump instigated a violent attack on our Capitol. He is a danger to our country. He should be impeached and removed from office DeGette immediately.” • “We have been evacuated from the House chamber and moved to a safe location. This isn’t a protest. This is an attempted

her. “Tell the kids I love them, too,” he said. “She knows that I’m somebody that when I’m in a situation like that I like to take action,” he said. “She just reminded me that I have young kids and not to put myself in a dangerous position.” Crow said he was convinced that there was a battle ahead. “I certainly haven’t felt that way since I was in combat in Iraq and
coup. I never thought we’d see such anarchy spurred by our own president.” U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, D-Aurora, via Twitter
• “We have stopped the coup attempt and will be returning to the Capitol today to finish the business of the people. We will never back down, we will return.” • “I was trapped in the House Chamber with a few members for a little while as protestors tried to ram down the doors. We didn’t know how we were gonna get out, but Capitol Police were able to clear a route and get us out. We’re all now being protected in a secure location.”
U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Windsor, via Twitter
• “My staff and I are safe, please continue to pray for our nation. The
Afghanistan,” he said. “I never, in a million years, would have thought I would have been experiencing that as a member of Congress in the U.S. Capitol.” Eventually, law enforcement was able to escort the lawmakers to safety. “I’m still working through it, honestly,” Crow said five hours later. “I’m still processing the experience.” Buck was on the House floor as the rioters advanced toward the chamber. As was Boebert. Boebert tweeted during lockdown
“Locked in the House chambers,”
events unfolding at the Capitol are outrageous. We will not tolerate anarchy in this country.” • “This is not a protest, this is anarchy. This needs to stop, it’s unAmerican.”
are in a safe location. Thank you to all of our brave law enforcement officials for working so hard to protect the Capitol complex. Keep the faith.”
U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Arvada, via Twitter
“I am safe and my staff is safe. We are currently in a secure lockdown. Today’s attack on the Capitol and our democracy is dangerous and unacceptable.”
“I’m safe, but I’m filled w/sadness & anger as we witness these protests. It’s the result of a fever that has been building for weeks, months & years, and which has only been further incited by President Trump. Today is a point of inflection & reflection, & we need to say enough.”
U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Lafayette, via Twitter
“My staff and I are safe — we were evacuated from the House floor, and Boebert tweeted at 2:17 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. One minute later she tweeted again. “The speaker has been removed,” she said. Buck said the rioters were trying to enter the House chambers by breaking panes of glass on doors leading to the floor. “It almost sounded like gunfire, but it clearly wasn’t gunfire,” Buck said. “It was just a metal object breaking the glass.” A few minutes later, lawmakers were ordered to leave. “Then they evacuated the floor. We went through the tunnels to evacua-
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Denver, via Twitter
U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Denver, via Twitter

It’s a sad day for our country, but our democracy is stronger than the dangerous attack on the Capitol today.” tion points,” he said. Neguse said he won’t be intimidated by the rioters. “I feel more emboldened than I certainly did this morning,” he said. “The work that we are doing today is of a critical importance. It’s critical for our country and, frankly, for the rest of the world, to see us finish the job. I intend to do that.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state. Used by permission.

available at LittletonPublicSchools. net, are due by Feb. 5. The board plans to interview candidates at its Feb. 11 meeting, and make a decision at its Feb. 25 meeting. By law, the new board member must be sworn in no later than March 7. The new board member won’t have long to settle in before they have to make the decision whether to run in the November election to keep the seat. Superintendent Brian Ewert said Warren-Gully will leave big shoes to fill. “She’s been in the district so long as a parent and advocate,” Ewert said. “We’re so thankful we’ve had such a solid, graceful, communicative board member. She took a common-sense approach to governing, and always made sure to listen to all sides of issues.” Ewert said he thinks her replacement should be someone invested in the district, and not beholden to an ideology. “You’ve got to be an advocate for students, but teachers and staff too,” he said. “These are nonpartisan positions. It’s not about being a Democrat or Republican, but taking a look at each issue that comes forward, analyzing it, being humble enough to get good input, and remembering that we’re here for the kids.”
CHAMPION FROM PAGE 2
ranging from state and appellate courts to the Supreme Court. “I’m just talking about the presidential election,” Champion said. “I don’t want to have sour grapes with my opponent.” Champion, the former mayor of Columbine Valley who was selected by a GOP vacancy committee to the House District 38 seat in January 2020, lost his bid for election to a full term to Democrat David Ortiz in November. Ortiz was sworn in Jan. 13. Champion said when Joe Biden
The new board member should appreciate the complexity of a school district, he said. “These are incredibly complex systems and budgets we’re dealing with,” Ewert said. “We’re responsible for taxpayer dollars from the local, state and federal level. It would help if it’s someone involved through groups like (parent-teacher organizations) or district committees.” The new board member will have weighty issues to deal with: how the district recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and how to deal with the impacts of declining student enrollment — which could mean school consolidation or staff layoffs. School board President Jack Reutzel echoed Ewert, saying boards that get bogged down by political agendas don’t get much done. “You need a broader perspective than that,” Reutzel said. “A school board just deals with too many things to have someone waving one flag or another all the time. Personal issues, too — you need to leave what’s happening with your child or your home school at the door.” Reutzel, like Ewert, said WarrenGully’s replacement will have to hit the ground running, and should be someone who is already familiar with the intricacies of issues like school finance. “It’s not always an easy job,” Reutzel said, “but we’ve got smart people in our community, and I’m expecting a great group of candidates.”
is sworn in as president, “he will be my president. It’s the same way I felt about Barack Obama. Too bad it wasn’t the same way for Democrats when Donald Trump was elected. People want Republicans to be magnanimous about Biden, but they sure weren’t when Trump won.” Champion said he paid for every element of his trip to Washington, from the plane tickets to the hotel room and transportation. “No one, I repeat, no one, including the Republican Party, aided my trip to Washington in any way, shape or form,” he said. Champion said he planned to fly home the next day, and had not encountered anyone else from Colorado while in Washington.
