As back to school prep begins, Adams 12 summer food program comes to a close BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Adams 12’s school food program will take a break for a week or two next month after a busy spring and summer. “We went from giving out cold sandwiches in March, blended in April and May with hot entrees served daily and now we’ve gone to frozen meals, they can finish at home,” said Molly Brandt, Adams 12’s administrator of nutrition and Before and After School Enrichment, the BASE program. “And if someone doesn’t have access to cooking equipment at home, we can help them there, too.” The school district provided 715,916 meals to area residents — including students, siblings and adults — since March 17, when the COVID-19 school closures forced the staff to retool. “We had basically one business day, between when we closed our schools and took learning on-line, to flip out the whole model and make things grab-and-go,” Brandt said. The Adams 12 district’s board and leadership are currently discussing what the 2020-21 school year will look like — whether students will return in person to buildings or use video and teleconferencing software to continue their education at home. That means the district’s food service staff must be prepared to retool yet again, either preparing to feed local students in the buildings, with social distancing guidelines in place and masks a requirement, or continue providing grab-and-go meals for hungry students working out of their homes.
“We will know more when that decision comes down,” Brandt said. “But right now, our meals are set to go through August 7. That gives us time, the whole week of August 10, to sanitize, get our deliveries in, train our staff for the school year and potentially reopen all 45 kitchens for the school year. We are going to need time to reopen the other 40 kitchens we have not been using.” Like the COVID-19 pandemic itself, local school’s need to provide meals to house-bound students arose suddenly in March. The staff began offering five meals per week. “We realized at first that many of our meals couldn’t be packaged like that, to be grab-and-go,” Brandt said. “For the first two weeks, we did things that were easiest like peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese sandwiches or turkey and cheese.” Brandt said the staff began trying different things in April. “There was some menu fatigue, always eating the same thing, so we did some other things, like hot dogs or corn dogs, hot cheesy breadsticks and those kinds of things,” she said. “At our highest point, before school ended, we were serving 16,000 meals per day,” she said. “April and May were our peak months.” Demand began dropping as the schools closed in May and the staff changed their plans again. They began offering seven meals per week, with staff delivering meals for Saturday and Sunday along with Friday’s meals. “We changed our menu again started providing some cooking options,” she said. One popular offering has been the lasagna roll-up, a sheet of pasta rolled around the traditional lasagna meat, sauce and cheese. The meal can be warmed up at home in a microwave or oven or SEE FOOD, P2

MY NAME IS
ALISA ZIMMERMAN
So, I’m close to being a native since this is the longest I’ve lived anywhere! I love the Denver metro area and all it has become – a wonderful mix of diverse cultural attractions combined with the seasonal outdoor beauty that Colorado offers. The metro area is also convenient to great road trip destinations in-state like our national parks, as well as to just about anywhere you want to go by air or train.
Exotic locations, a rare language and art Around the world Travel – it’s the best way I’ve found to know myself better by meeting others. It can be humbling as well as invigorating, and always memorable. You return a different person and ready to plan your next trip! I got started [traveling] as a toddler when my parents worked in east and southeast Asia as missionaries. My sisters and I lived in many exotic places throughout our childhood and high school years. It’s been so rewarding to have had those experiences and to see where they’ve taken us in our adult lives. Each of us continue to travel for business and pleasure, and enjoy sharing our stories – the good, the bad, and the unexplainable! [I’ve been to] Singapore. Anyone who hasn’t traveled to Asia should start there and then venture out to visit Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand or the Philippines. Or tour this island city-state to see remnants of the British colonial empire combined with 21st century innovation, multicultural cuisine and world-class fashion. If nothing else, enjoy spending time in the world famous Changi Airport – known for its botanic gardens, waterfall, and shopping and eating mecca.

ing more with local government and communities. I also got to travel to some amazing places in the former Soviet Union. Made some lifelong friends as well along the way. I speak Estonian, which is one of the most difficult languages to learn and also one of the rarest to hear. Less than a million people speak it even though it’s related to Finnish.
Painting my career I grew up in a family of musicians and went on to major in music as an undergrad. After I realized being a concert performer wasn’t my destiny, I enrolled in a graduate Arts Management program which let me stay connected to the arts I love by working behind the scenes — producing and presenting events across the country for local governments, higher ed institutions and nonprofit organizations. It has been wonderful to combine my personal passions with my professional training to create a career that I truly love.
Heading west I’m a transplant from the East Coast but have lived here since 1990. My family lived in Denver in the 70s and my older sister stayed on for school at DU. Some of the rest of us eventually returned to Colorado after living and working for years in Asia, Europe and along the East Coast.
What the arts can do I manage the arts and cultural programming for the City of Thornton which involves creating and delivering diverse year-round performing and visual arts events, classes, camps and exhibits. I have a small but mighty staff who help me engage, educate and entertain residents and visitors with popular outdoor concerts, public art installations, artist demos and much more. I love seeing what the arts can do for people of all ages to bring joy to their lives in so many ways – like watching kids and seniors dance at our outdoor concerts, seeing youth connect with graffiti artists at festivals and catching the expression of someone viewing

So it worked really well to give us coverage throughout the district.” Families line up drive-through style, picking up several meals per person — lunch for two days and breakfast on Mondays and Wednesdays. They pick up more meals on Fridays, enough food to get each student through the weekend. They’ve even added a mobile option, with a bus leaving each high school headed to more remote areas. “We decided where the areas of highest need in the area, so the buses
each go out to two stops,” she said. “Hopefully, between the homes and the mobile stops, each person is walking distance to a meal if they need it,” she said. It’s been a good effort, and she’s like to see it continue even after the Coronavirus problems are solved. “We are reaching so many more people now than we’ve ever been able to,” she said. “We are talking about it as a state about how we can that broad reach out there. One thing I know we are going to do is to advocate for programs like this. We have seen what is possible when we are flexible to help food insecurity in our state. We can’t promise anything, but we can certainly try.”
an unusual art work for the first time. Now that we’re streaming new arts and cultural programs online, we’re hearing from people even more about how much they appreciate having access to that experience in the comfort of their homes. I’m so grateful to have been chosen to guide the growth of arts and culture to new levels for Thornton residents. To expand what arts and culture can mean, and to achieve our vision: a community that welcomes all forms of cultural expression. What I love I enjoy singing, listening to jazz, watching movies and trying new foods. My daughter is a great cook and is always creating some new dish or dessert for me to sample. [I’m proud of r]aising my daughter and seeing her grow into an amazing young woman with her own views of the world. We also climbed our first 14er – Mount Elbert – a few years ago. Now we’re hooked! [I love g]ardening, hiking and doing summer road trips with my daughter to national parks and hot springs we haven’t visited. Always an adventure! [I enjoy] anywhere in the mountains and forests of Colorado, especially in the Grand Mesa, area where the views are gorgeous, the lakes pristine and the people fewer. A very calming and quiet retreat. Plus the stargazing is amazing and those roadside fruit and veggie stands keep me coming back. I walk and jog more now due to my job schedule. In a past life, I played tennis and was on a team in high school and in Denver. – Jasleen Batra Have a suggestion for My Name is ...? Contact Scott Taylor at staylor@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Thornton keeps old definitions in new plan Council bows to residents on zoning definitions for three parcels in new comprehensive plan BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Three controversial land-use changes are off the table for the time being after Thornton Councilors approved a new comprehensive plan July 14. Councilors removed plans to allow housing developments in th e Thornton Shopping Center area at 88th and Washington and south of King Ranch at 120th and Quebec after five hours of public comments on the plan. “Do we want commercial there, or do we want to leave it open?” Councilor Sam Nizam said regarding the King Ranch proposal. “We don’t have a plan to look at, nothing from the developer there. The comp plan is basically just a map right now, so if we get a plan from the developer now we can discuss it then.” Similarly, councilors stripped a proposal to shift the defined land use along Highway 7 and York Street, agreeing to keep it zoned for residential uses. City officials began rewriting the comprehensive plan in 2018. The city currently uses a plan written in 2012. The plan combines studies of several aspects of municipal government, from economic development and city

It’s designed to sketch out where the city stands currently and offer a plan for how the city wants to look in the next 10 to 20 years. “A comprehensive plan is meant to be an aspirational document,” said Glenda Lainis, Thornton’s policy planning manager. “It outlines the city’s long term vision for the future.

plan aims high, but does not indicate exactly what the city is going to look like in the future.” As a planning document, it’s meant to guide future decisions for the City Council and city staff as well as the Development Permits and Appeals Board and other city boards and commissions. But the changes it recommends are not settled and must be adopted after a formal city process, like a zoning change. “The intent is to provide guidance and examples to help move closer to what the community’s long term vision is,” Lainis said. “Achieving those goals relied on decision-making by City Council and implementation by city staff and many other local partners.” Work on the first phase involved multiple city meetings and planning events beginning in December 2018. Those included 15 community and neighborhood meetings, presentations to senior centers and high school classes, interviews, surveys and comments at booths set up at community events, like Thorntonfest and the Harvest Fest in 2019 and several ice cream socials. King Ranch The first draft of the plan was released a year ago, and residents, staff and councilors have been meeting to tweak it. At the most recent planning meeting in May, councilors approved changing the definition land at the Northeast corner of 120th and Quebec, just south of the King Ranch subdivision. It’s currently zoned for commercial development and changing the land use definition to mixed-use development would have let the owner begin working to build higher-density housing, something councilors agree the city needs. “I support the idea of balanced housing,” Councilor Jacque Phillips said. “Ward 1, in the southern part of our city, is the only Ward where the majority of our housing is not singlefamily housing. I really want some balance, I want multi-family housing, that high-density housing, to come in north of 120th and I feel strongly about that.” But neighbors argued against the plan. “Mixed-use is a mixed bag. By
definition, you never know what you are going to end up with,” King Ranch resident Robert Watson. “The goal of the developer is high-density housing and this just does not meet the criteria laid out in the original comprehensive plan and does not provide the commercial development this area needs and specified in the original comp plan. Worse yet, it would prohibit future commercial development in the area.” Councilors agreed, with Phillips agreeing with the residents. Other councilors followed suit. “I, too, am a fan of mixed-use development — I think it’s important to spread it around the city,” Councilor Julia Marvin said. “But it sounds like if we keep these properties as commercial, there is an opportunity for developers to come in with a mixeduse plan. We can change it then.” Shopping center Councilors made similar concessions to two other parcels. On the Thornton Shopping Center parcel along 88th and Washington, the council agreed to leave it defined as commercial. The lot has fallen on hard times since it opened in 1955 when it was home to a Woolworth’s and family grocer Miller’s Market. It’s also been home to several dry cleaners over the years, and one of them improperly stored some of their key chemicals, namely PERC or perchloroethylene. That’s a chemical degreaser that can cause short-term dizziness and nausea as well as skin irritation. Long-term exposure can cause changes to mood and memory and has been linked to cancer. The state is currently reviewing a clean-up and mitigation plan there. John Cody, Thornton’s deputy economic development director, said that decision should not hurt redevelopment chances for the shopping center. “It just means that future land use designation is going to remain commercial for now and that council’s preferences, for the time being, is for the redevelopment of the Thornton Shopping Center to be commercial,” Cody said. “What the actual redevelopment there depends on the development appetite from the private sector and the willingness of the city council ultimately turns out.”

Northglenn eyes board for equity issues BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For Northglenn elected officials, making sure a group tasked with encouraging diversity, equality and fairness in city affairs is diverse, equal and fair could be the first hurdle. “Does anyone else, or anybody who is listening, get the irony that we are talking about a committee on diversity and we are collectively talking about who we are going to exclude?” Councilor Randall Peterson said at one point. “Baffling. This represents the absolute ludicrous fallacy of having applicants based exclusively on group identity. There are thousands of people in this city who care about race and equity and diversity that might not fit the particular status quo box.” Councilors discussed creating a new nine-member group of citizens to advise the City Council on matters of diversity, racial equity and social justice during a special Wednesday City Council meeting July 15. It’s part of a pledge councilors made in May to make a constructive change to the way the city operates in the wake of nationwide protests. “I continue to believe that it’s vitally important that we have people from different walks of life, different cultural backgrounds, different races,” said Councilor Jenny Wilford, the mayor pro tem. Building a toolkit Councilors are scheduled to formally create the new Diversity, Inclusivity and Social Equity Board and begin taking applications in August. A public hearing on the board is scheduled
for Aug. 10, with a final reading set for Aug. 24. Applications would be open through Sept. 4. The actual work began last fall after the current City Council was elected and sworn in. Early on, the group agreed to make inclusivity part of their five-year strategic plan. Rupa Venkastesh, assistant to City Manager Heather Geyer has been the lead staffer on that effort. It follows a framework created by the Government Alliance on Race and Equity, a national network of government officials that began discussing racial and equity issues in 1981. The goal is create a set of policies and programs that make the city more diverse and equitable for all residents based on Northglenn’s own make up. “The purpose there is to use it to evaluate new programs and policies coming forward to determine whether they really are equitable or not,” Venkatesh said. “It’s one thing to create a program or a policy but it’s another thing to evaluate it for fairness if you don’t know the measures.” In Northglenn, the board will be made up of two members from each ward and an at-large member. The city will accept applications from anyone interested in the work that is 16-years-old and older and is willing to take part in a diversity training program. Councilors themselves are scheduled to participate in the same training program. Councilors will select the candidates they feel are best suited it lead equity and inclusivity discussions. Plans call for having councilors interview and appoint the board in September, with the group’s first meeting scheduled in
October. Equitable board But councilors spent some time discussing the practical matters of creating the new board — how many members would sit on the board, how they would be recruited and how councilors would select the members. A key part of the group’s success relies having a diverse group of members, Venkatesh said. Councilors want the group to be potentially made up people from all racial, religious, ethnic, gender and sexual orientations —as well as people with disabilities and both the rich and the poor. But Councilor Ashley Witkovich asked how the council would know if the potential members were diverse without asking them. “We want to have this membership composition — diversity in race, religion, gender identity, age, and all that —but how will we know all that if it’s not on the application?“ Witkovich said. “I don’t know how we get to that.” That led to a discussion on other groups the councilors think should be represented. Mayor Meredith Leighty suggested having a spot for local business owners as well as employees. One part of the memo called for bringing in “...those traditionally underrepresented in community engagement efforts.” Councilor Antonio Esquibel took issue with that phrasing. “The term ‘tradition’ has a lot of different meanings,” Esquibel said. “You know, the Confederate flag is a tradition. I would hate for us to go down there rabbit hole of defining tradition
because that could spark all kind of debate —your tradition, my tradition, our tradition. I would prefer historical, or another word.” Councilor Peterson suggested that rather than asking candidates for their ethnic, religious or sexual orientations on a written application — questions Peterson suggested might not even be legal to ask —he suggested using an essay question to let them to explain why they are suited for the board. “I think the a stronger question is explaining and describing your commitment to diversity personally and your vision for diversity for the city long term,” he said. “I would hate to have people that are really passionate and really care about this that are excluded using discrimination. That’s why I think it’s hard to tell someone’s passion and reality based on a box they checked.” He concluded, referring to Dr. Martin Luther King, saying he wished people could be judged on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. But Councilor Wilford took issue with Peterson referring to King. “He was actually talking about his children, not about White men or anybody else for that matter,” she said. “I think it’s important for us to make sure we don’t take people’s words out of context, in particular people of color — especially when, Randall, you and I are both two White folks and we don’t know what it means to live a life of a person of color. We don’t know what oppression looks like. We have White privilege.”

Tri-County mask order still stands alongside statewide rule Unlike the state, health agency requires masks outdoors BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Those who refuse to wear masks in public could technically face up to a $5,000 fine and up to 18 months in jail once an order by the health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties goes into effect July 24. But that’s the standard maximum penalty set by state law for any violation of a local public health order in general, according to the Tri-County Health Department. “If enforcement action needed to be taken through legal means, our recommendation to the court would be no more than a $25 fine for a first violation,” said Gary Sky, spokesman for Tri-County. Tri-County Health on July 8 approved an order by a 5-4 vote to require masks in public indoor spaces and outdoors where people can’t remain 6 feet away from others. The order includes a long list of exceptions, including for disabilities and medical or mental health conditions. More than half the state’s population had a mask-wearing requirement in their municipalities and counties by mid-July, including many in the Denver metro area. Eight days after Tri-County Health’s action, Gov. Jared Polis signed an executive order that went into effect July

when a person is eating or working out on their own, but it applies in stores, at work and where people congregate, Polis said. That includes wearing a mask while using or waiting on a taxi, bus, light rail, train, car service, or ride-sharing or similar service, according to the order’s text. Counties and municipalities could opt out of Tri-County’s order by July 23, and Douglas County’s elected leaders announced plans on July 9 to do so. But the state’s order does not allow localities to opt out, at least not now. Because Tri-County’s order differs from the state’s in some ways, Tri-County’s will remain in effect for municipalities that haven’t opted out in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. Only areas in Douglas County that are outside of a municipality were to be opted out. The state’s order will apply in those areas, though. A key difference between the orders is that Tri-County’s requires masks outdoors when 6-foot distance from others cannot be maintained. TriCounty’s order also lasts longer — up to 90 days rather than 30 days for the state’s order, although both orders could be extended. Picture of enforcement It’s unclear what the penalties would be for those who violate the state’s mask order, as Polis’ executive action is not a public health order. “If you refuse to wear a mask as required in the executive order, you are violating a Colorado law and are subject to civil or criminal penalties,” a state spokesperson said July 17. “If you try to enter a store without a mask, you may be prosecuted for trespassing.” Tri-County has emphasized it doesn’t intend for police action to be its enforcement tool, stressing that the department is “focused on education and voluntary compliance with the masking order,” Sky said.
The state takes a similar stance, said the July 17 statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which includes staff from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. It’s unclear what it would it take for a person to be stopped by police and given a court summons or fine under the order — that will depend on the law enforcement agency in a particular area, said Mellissa Sager, policy and intergovernmental manager for Tri-County. The state didn’t outline what a police enforcement action would take, either. “We are asking people to do the right thing for themselves and for the safety of others. The goal of this is not to punish or prosecute people,” the information center’s statement said. And Tri-County officials — and the state — are not recommending arresting individuals based solely on the failure to wear a mask, Sager said. “Law enforcement action will depend on the individual agency but would likely only occur if another crime is committed,” Sager added. For both the state’s and Tri-County’s orders, people do not need a written exemption to show that an exception to the mask requirement applies to them. But an employer may require documentation from an employee in accordance with state and federal law, Tri-County’s order says. Colorado’s order includes exemptions for individuals “who cannot medically tolerate a face covering,” along with exceptions for some other cases, according to the order’s text. Tri-County’s order does not require that any child 5 or younger wear a face covering, but in light of the state’s order, Tri-County announced it would raise its age of exemption to 10 years to avoid confusion. Businesses in spotlight If a person who isn’t wearing a mask refuses to leave a business and is therefore trespassing, that is one example where law enforcement action would apply. “Law enforcement is not expected to respond to reports of face-covering violations unless the call involves trespass, disorderly conduct or other subsequent crime beyond the failure to wear a face covering,” Sky said. If an individual refuses to wear a mask for reasons not allowed under the order’s exceptions, a business or other publicly accessible facility is required to refuse entry to that person, according to Tri-County’s mask order. Any business open to the public that allows a person on its premises without a mask could have its license suspended or revoked, the order says. Similiarly, businesses may not provide service to people or allow them on their public indoor areas without a mask, according to the state’s order. Businesses violating the order will may have business license temporarily suspended. For businesses, if three or more complaints are received, Tri-County plans to “reach out with educational materials, take questions, chat through the requirements of the order, provide template signage and generally provide resources and education to assist in compliance,” Sky said. “Sometimes we may need to visit a business in person and sometimes we may be able to provide information and SEE MASK ORDER, P8

Polis signs bills on sick leave, rent, biz help BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Colorado legislature took numerous steps to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, and they’ve become law under Gov. Jared Polis’ signature a day ahead of the July 15 deadline for the governor to sign or veto legislation. The legislature’s regular session — the period in which lawmakers pass bills — ended June 15 after being interrupted by the pandemic. It began Jan. 8. Polis signed bills into law July 14 that guarantee paid sick leave for workers and protect renters relying on alternative sources of income, such as unemployment benefits, during the COVID-19 crisis. Senate Bill 20-205 allows work-
ers, including part-time workers, to earn one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours of work, up to six days per year, according to a news release by state House Democrats. The bill also provides leave during a public health emergency such as COVID-19 — employees who work 40 or more hours per week will receive at least 80 hours of additional paid sick leave. House Bill 20-1332 deems housing discrimination based on a person’s source of income an unfair housing practice, according to the release. As long as a person’s income source is lawful and verifiable — including income from any government assistance program — a landlord cannot refuse to show, rent or lease housing. Polis signed two bills June 23 to provide relief to small businesses.
One, House Bill 20-1413, establishes a small-business loan program under which $250 million of private and public funding will be allocated to small businesses over the next two years, according to a news release by House Democrats. Loans of between $30,000 to $500,000, maturing in up to five years, will be awarded to businesses with between five and 100 employees. Loans must carry a lower interest rate than what would normally be available on the commercial market. The second measure, Senate Bill 20-222, creates a grant program funded by $20 million from the federal CARES Act for small businesses affected by the COVID-19 crisis, according to the release. $5 million will be set aside for recovery of the state’s tourism sector.
To qualify, businesses must have fewer than 25 employees. Businesses that did not qualify for the federal Paycheck Protection Program will be given preference. Women-, minority- and veteran-owned businesses will also be given priority, as well as businesses in rural areas. Polis on June 22 signed bills including House Bill 20-1410, which provides $20 million in direct rental and mortgage assistance to Coloradans experiencing financial need, including $350,000 for legal aid for renters at risk of eviction. He also signed House Bill 20-1412, which allocates $4.8 million to the Energy Outreach Colorado LowIncome Energy Assistance Fund, a program that helps Coloradans at risk of a service shut-off catch up on utility payments.
Tri-County Health closes offices following threat Agency has been targeted before by threats, vandalism BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The chief of the TriCounty Health Department ordered the agency’s headquarters to close temporarily after police informed staff of a threat against the department’s building in Greenwood Village. The agency administers public health services in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The Greenwood Village Police Department informed health department officials of the threat in the evening of July 8. Officials closed the building at 6162 S. Willow Dr. July 9-10; it was open again July 13. Officials did not disclose the specific nature of the threat or when it was made. Police later deemed the
threat to be not credible. Dr. John Douglas, the agency’s executive director, said the department previously received other threats directed at employees and the building has been vandalized multiple times. People have also staged protests outside the building. The agency has stirred up controversy among some in its response to the COVID-19 crisis, including directives involving public mask wearing and staying at home. It is not known if the latest threat was related to the controversy. Douglas said much of the vitriol has ramped up recently. “I think it’s deeply — and I want to underscore deeply —disappointing, in the time of a pandemic, the divisiveness in this country,” Douglas said. “The people on the frontlines responding to the pandemic are getting attacked. It’s clearly a minority, but a vocal minority.”

links to resources remotely. Each response will start with a phone call,” Sager said. Tri-County staff likely won’t respond in person to individuals who are not wearing masks, as the depart-
ment does not have the capacity to carry that out, Sager said. “However, we encourage people to reach out to TCHD if they are seeing people not wearing their masks in certain areas as we will use this information to target our education campaigns,” Sager said.

order, the move has been criticized as government overreach in public meetings of the Castle Rock Town Council and the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, where officials and local residents weighed in. On the other hand, some Centennial city officials expressed skepticism that the order would be enforced aggressively enough to make people comply. Responding to concerns that have been raised about the mask rule’s constitutionality, Sky cited the American Bar Association, which says on its website: “Under the U.S. Constitution’s 10th Amendment and U.S. Supreme Court decisions over nearly 200 years, state governments have the primary authority to control the spread of dangerous diseases within their jurisdictions. The 10th Amendment, which gives states all powers not specifically given to the federal government, allows them the authority to take public health emergency

actions, such as setting quarantines and business restrictions.” Public health agencies are required by Colorado state law to “investigate and abate nuisances when necessary in order to eliminate sources of epidemic or communicable diseases,” according to Sky. “In the event of a public health emergency, the (local health) agency shall issue orders and adopt rules consistent with the laws and rules of the state as the public health director may deem necessary for the proper exercise of the powers and duties vested in or imposed upon the agency or county or district board,” Sky cited. If Tri-County pursued a violation in court, the court would ultimately decide what the penalty would be, according to Sky, discussing the suggestion of an up to $25 fine for a first violation. He added: “Our recommendation may change for a more egregious violation of the public health order.”

RTD joins request for billions in aid from Congress BY MICHAEL KARLIK COLORADO POLITICS
The Regional Transportation District was among the more than two dozen public transit agencies that sent a letter to the Republican and Democratic U.S. Senate leaders asking for $32 billion to $36 billion in additional coronavirus relief money through 2021. “Our country will not experience a full recovery if the transit systems that move our economy are not fully functional,” the letter reads. “We need federal support for public transportation in the next relief package to secure transit’s future and the nation’s economy.” The $1.8 trillion CARES Act that Congress passed in March provided $25 billion to transit agencies. RTD received approximately $232 million. “The CARES Act funding allowed us to stay in business, and we will forever be appreciative of everyone who made that possible,” said RTD’s interim general manager and CEO Paul J. Ballard during a virtual press conference on July 14 organized by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority. “2021, on the other hand, is another story.” Ballard explained that RTD’s deficit would be between $100 million and $150 million next year, and that the agency needs money to purchase protective equipment for bus operators and filtering apparatus in vehicles. “We will be unable to increase service beyond the greatly reduced service levels we are currently operating,” he said, referring to the 40% reduction in service that followed an

With reductions in ridership and sales tax revenue, “we’ve been losing approximately $700 million to $800 million in revenue per month,” said Patrick J. Foye, chairman and CEO of the MTA. “We are looking at an estimated $1.8 billion loss over two fiscal years,” said

He added that transit infrastructure construction in Los Angeles was a key source of employment. Peter Rogoff, the CEO of Sound Transit in Seattle, mentioned the nearly-$500 billion proposal that the U.S. House of Representatives passed earlier this month. The bill is an infrastructure-focused measure, with one-fifth of the money destined for transit.

Jeffco student Instagram page chronicles bullying, discrimination TimesUpJeffco lets Jeffco Public Schools students anonymously share their stories BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lakewood High School senior Joshua Lujan identifies himself as queer and said he has experienced homophobia since he was in elementary school. Lujan, who previously attended South Lakewood Elementary and Creighton Middle School, said being targeted because of his sexuality is distracting and affects him even though he’ll act like it doesn’t. “What makes it harder is the lack of help for kids themselves. I’ve definitely asked for help or went to (Creighton Middle School) to address the issue,” said Lujan. “Having them present no solution makes me feel like I am not listened to or heard by my own school. And it definitely makes me not feel safe.” After being inspired by the Instagram page @timesupjd, an account that allows Instagram users at Jamesville-DeWitt Schools in New York to anonymously share their stories of alleged incidents like sexual harassment, discrimination and other issues like mental health, Lujan and his friend Elyza Berry started the Instagram page @timesupjeffco, or TimesUpJeffco. The page, launched on July 5, provides Jeffco Public Schools students the opportunity to anonymously share their alleged stories of being bullied, racially profiled, targeted because of their sexual orientation and more. As of July 16, the page has 1,670 followers with more than 300 posts of students sharing their stories throughout Jefferson County. “There is a desire for people to share
these stories,” said Berry, who graduated from Lakewood High School in May and plans to attend the University of Oregon this fall. “They felt ignored for so many years, and the people who have experienced these things want change. I think other people are intrigued to read about these things that they haven’t necessarily experienced themselves. But additionally, a lot of these stories are shocking and somewhat horrifying.” Lakewood High School’s Theatre Company has been the subject of several posts on the TimesUpJeffco page for its showing of “West Side Story.” The musical, which was performed by students in the theater group in March, features a feud between two New York City gangs — the white Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. “West Side Story” is a play that many suggest pleads for racial tolerance. Posts on the page accused students in the musical of using racial slurs offstage as a joke and said Hispanic roles were given to white students. “I personally auditioned for this show, and as a Hispanic girl (I can pass for either white or Hispanic) who was in advanced choir, I thought I would at least have a chance at making it into the ensemble — but I did not even receive a call back, while MANY if not all, of my white friends did, and they were eventually cast. This year, they were not focused on upholding the culture and realism of this show,” reads a July 5 post on TimesUpJeffco’s Instagram from a female at Lakewood High School. “They wanted a show that would be the most `successful,’ but at the expense of the people they promised roles.” The Lakewood High School Theatre Company released a lengthy statement that said it is deeply saddened to think it hurt feelings. The statement reads that racial slurs were never encouraged and accusations of the production being “white-washed” are unfair. Every Puerto Rican character in the musical
was either partially or completely Hispanic or of color, the statement says. It continues and reads that everyone is welcome in theatre and that the directors will always strive to do the right thing and to listen with the intent to grow. “To have to defend a story that aims to teach acceptance and love that is now being weaponized to cultivate division and resentment is not only ironic, it is heartbreaking. However, some things are worth defending,” the statement says. “The (Lakewood High School Theatre Company) directors have always been and will continue to be open to discussions and conversations with students who have concerns about the community, the decisions made and the outcome of casting choices.” “Nowhere on an anonymous social media platform can those conversations take place, conversations that promote understanding, compassion, healing and ultimately growth,” the statement continues. Lujan said he believes the page provides a platform for students to have their voices heard and have their stories told, which he says isn’t easy. He believes the anonymous platform makes it easier for students to share their experiences. “For so long students have felt like their voices aren’t heard or prioritized. A lot of the stories that are shared to us detail times when students reach out for help from their schools and either get ignored or don’t get helped,” said Lujan. “I think the page encourages a lot of people to open up and share their stories.” Berry said the page has received submissions from people who make jokes and mock gender identity. She said the jokes further provide evidence of the way some students behave in Jeffco Public Schools. Berry said she would like the school district to diversify its required reading and called for it to have a no-toler-
ance policy toward certain slurs. “Most importantly, I want them to have sufficient mental health resources and more accessibility to file complaints and have them taken seriously,” she said. Jeffco Public Schools said in a statement it is aware of the TimesUpJeffco Instagram page and that it is committed to ensuring that all of its schools support student success, safety and wellness. The statement lists off a number of school district policies in place including its public/parent complaint policy, student complaint policy and nondiscrimination policies. Jeffco Public Schools’ public/parent complaint policy reads that the district believes that parents concerns, complaints or grievances should be addressed in a timely manner. The student complaint policy says that it honors a student’s right of inquiry and to express matters of concerns and encourages issues to be settled at the local school level. When a complaint related to discrimination or harassment is filed, it is required to be processed. The district conducts an inquiry and takes steps to mitigate future harm during an inquiry, according to its discrimination statement and general complaint process. Jeffco Public Schools’ statement also pointed to Safe2Tell as a way for students to anonymously report concerns or threats to themselves, friends, family or the community. “In any circumstance where we can identify a concerning situation including posts on social media, we will investigate to determine if there is sufficient information to support the complaint and then work with school administration to take action. We want to be part of the solution and work to solve problems from the perspective that we care deeply about our students, staff and community,” the school district’s statement reads.
Jeffco teachers face a ‘curveball’ with online learning BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

continued, the program’s organizers reworked JSEL into a virtual offering to serve 515 students this year. “JSEL has been such a passion for me and remote learning has thrown a curveball, but it’s really exciting these kids are still able to do this program,” said JSEL teacher Brie Montoya. “I really am glad these kids were able to do it.”

The no-cost programming is open to students who would like summer help to ensure they are on-track for next school year, particularly for students who are not reading at grade level and are on a read plan, or who are in danger of needing a read plan. The program began with one-to-one meetings between parents and teachers on June 1, followed by five weeks of video conferencing classes. While the program traditionally runs from 8 a.m. to noon on weekdays, this year, classes were held on weekdays from 9:30 to 11:30. The two-hour daily sessions included reading lessons taught to students and chances for students to practice their reading out loud. Outside of class hours, students also had the option to complete selfguided math activities. As teachers adapted to the remote environment alongside their students, they said they found creative ways to keep class engaging — whether that meant virtual field trips to the San Diego Zoo and the Met in New York, or sending care packages to students during the summer. The teachers added that for some students, helping them adapt required reworking the remote environment altogether. Jeffco parent Becca Rehme, whose son, Quinn attends Arvada’s Sierra Elementary, enrolled him in JSEL, not-
ing he had lost some learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. After a few days of the online version of JSEL, she could tell her son was overwhelmed. Rehme and Quinn’s teacher Kristina McCombie came up with an alternative: Rehme would attend classes instead of Quinn during the day, teaching him herself. He’d also have a one-onone remote meeting with McCombie daily before class. “They were very flexible and willing to meet him where he was at,” Rehme said. “The benefits of the remote environment were that we could customize the experience to Quinn’s needs and maturity level.” Parent Christie Hensley likewise highlighted the way her daughter’s JSEL teacher, Montoya, has worked with her daughter, Jane, who attends Blue Heron Elementary in Littleton. “One day, my daughter really was struggling. The teacher could see it on Zoom and picked up the phone and called me personally,” Hensley said. “It was great. My daughter has made a lot of gains thanks to JSEL and her teacher has really helped her gain more confidence (reading).” While teachers have learned how to get students the individual help they need remotely, Montoya acknowledged that the extent of learning this year may not match what occurred in JSEL for 2019.

Survey: Metro Denver homelessness was rising even before COVID-19 ‘Point in time’ tally shows 6,104 people unhoused in metro area BY ALAYNA ALVAREZ COLORADO POLITICS
The number of people experiencing homelessness in the Denver metro area continues to rise. At least 6,104 people were experiencing homelessness between dusk on Jan. 27 to dusk on Jan. 28 in the seven counties surveyed in the 2020 Point-in-Time census, a one-day count across the nation of people experiencing homelessness. The data reflects a 6% increase since 2019 and a nearly 15% rise from two years ago. “These data demonstrate homelessness was a crisis before COVID,” said Matt Meyer, executive director at the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, which coordinates the PIT each year and reports the data to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. “With eviction moratoriums and other protective measures ending, we fully expect to see dramatic increases as a result of the economic impact of the pandemic,” he said. “Reinstating these moratoriums on a local or state level would significantly decrease the impact for those households on the edge that now face homelessness.” Denver represents the largest share of homelessness compared to neighboring counties surveyed
in the region — Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas and Jefferson — with a count of at least 4,171. The survey identified: 444 unhoused persons in Jefferson County, up from 434 in 2019. 476 unhoused persons in Adams County, down from 483 in 2019. 245 unhoused persons in Arapahoe County, up from 228 in 2019. 53 unhoused persons in Douglas County, up from 14 in 2019. Of the more than 6,000 people living unhoused in the entire metro area, 51% were living in shelters within the region. A quarter of those surveyed said they were staying outdoors. Of the populations identified, 759 people were actively fleeing domestic violence, 627 were veterans, 278 were unaccompanied youth and there were at least 420 families. The survey also examined race and found that minority populations are disproportionately affected by homelessness. African Americans made up more than 20% of people experiencing homelessness, but they represent less than 10% of the general population. Indigenous populations make up about 2% of the general population but comprise about 5% of those unhoused. “The overrepresentation of people of color, specifically (B)lack and Native Americans, among those experiencing homelessness is critical to the response,” Meyer said in a statement. “Homelessness is an issue of race and must be approached through this lens.”

Controversial new state holiday shines spotlight on Mother Cabrini Colorado state legislature voted to replace Columbus Day with holiday for Cabrini last March BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Since 1938, visitors have flocked to the mountains just west of Golden to learn about and pay tribute to Frances Xavier Cabrini, the Catholic saint who established 67 schools, hospitals and orphanages around the U.S., including in Colorado. Now, the rest of the state is about to become more familiar with Cabrini as well, as a result of the Colorado state legislature’s decision to establish Cabrini Day, a state holiday that will take the place of Columbus Day as a state holiday on the first Monday in October. Colorado House Bill 20-1031, signed into law by the governor in March, declares the new holiday is “a recognition of Cabrini’s contributions to the state of Colorado and creates an opportunity to promote an appreciation, tolerance and understanding of the different cultures that make up our state.” In 1909, Colorado became the first state in the nation to observe Columbus Day as an official state holiday at the urging of Angelo Noce, a prominent figure in Denver’s Italian immigrant community. The bill also states that Columbus never traveled to the territory that became the United States and had no contact with the state of Colorado, “providing no rationale for a Colorado state holiday bearing his name.” It also states that Columbus participated in the extermination of the Taino people who initially welcomed him to the island of Quisqueya, which he renamed Hispanola. While many Italian Americans continue to regard it as an important celebration of their heritage and its contributions to America (Columbus was Italian), the holiday had become mired in controversy in recent decades by Native Americans who say it is culturally insensitive to continue to celebrate a figure who led the extermination of native peoples and can only be said to have discovered the Americas if their presence here is disregarded. The Denver Post reported the move to replace Columbus Day represented

Wright, a former president of the Order Sons of Italy Grand Lodge of Colorado. “A lot of us feel that we have celebrated Columbus Day for years and years and it’s not so much the man we celebrate but his journey and that journey is what brought a lot of our ancestors here along with Christianity and that kind of thing so that disappointed us.” Anna Vann, a first generation Italian immigrant, also questioned the choice to replace the celebration of Columbus with one for Cabrini. “Mother Cabrini was an actual friend of people in my family in the past here,” said Vann. “She was a very honorable woman but to make a state holiday for her and take away Columbus Day was very wrong.” Jeff Lewis, the Executive Director of the Mother Cabrini Shrine, said that while the Shrine’s staff are happy Mother Cabrini “will continue to be celebrated in Colorado” they did not have anything to do with the effort to make a Cabrini Day holiday. “I don’t really know what to say,” Lewis said when contacted by CCM about his reaction to the new holiday. “That’s more of a political thing and we really have nothing to do with that.” Who was Mother Cabrini? So who exactly was the subject of Colorado’s newest holiday? Sr. Roselle Santivasi, who works at the shrine, said Cabrini was ultimately a humanitarian who dedicated herself to those who had very

The more we celebrate people who have done humanitarian things and done good, social justice things for other people that’s good, let’s celebrate them.”

Athletics up and running in Jeffco schools District plan requires modified approaches for safety BY CASEY VAN DIVIER CVANDIVIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For high school athletes like Luke Loehding, in previous summers, “getting to prepare for our football season is an opportunity that many of us took for granted,” he said. But this year, for months, the COVID-19 pandemic left the future of school activities uncertain. And ever since Jeffco Public Schools announced on June 5 that it would reintroduce athletics and activities over the summer, district athletes have a renewed perspective on summer training. “Summer workouts mean an opportunity to get back to some semblance of normal life,” said Loehding, a senior and football player at Dakota Ridge High. “We now get the chance to build team chemistry and develop as a team, rather than individual players.” Returning in steps Jeffco’s phase-in of athletics and activities began June 22 with a weeklong phase called Step 1, which limited outdoor practice areas to 25 students and indoor areas to 10. Also in Step 1, all equipment was required to be sanitized after each individual use and equipment was not to be shared, which meant players could not pass a ball to one
another. Common areas could not be used and masks were required indoors. Throughout every phase, crowd sizes have been controlled by asking fall sport athletes to attend conditioning only one Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and athletes for all other sports attending Tuesdays and Thursdays. From June 29 through July 11, athletes participated in Step 2 of the process, in which up to 50 players could be in an outdoor space and 25 indoors. This phase set out differing guidelines for “low risk”, “moderate risk” and “high risk” sports, as defined by sports associations including CHSAA (Colorado High School Activities Association). A six-foot distancing requirement and intermittent equipment sanitization have remained a constant through Step 2 and into Step 3, which the district introduced on July 13. Under the current schedule, Step 3 will last at least until July 25. In Step 3, low- and moderate-risk sports have resumed as normal while all other sports — football, cheerleading, ice hockey and wrestling— still must abide several modifications. Coaches for these sports have been asked to arrange for “modified contact drill work and conditioning done in smaller groups of 5-10 spread throughout the practice area,” the Jeffco plan says. This prohibits full contact drills in football but allows for modified contact; for wrestlers, live wrestling is still prohibited. Though the guidelines in every phase apply to every Jeffco school, every athletic director and coach
has some autonomy in what practice looks like, said Patrick Simpson, Columbine High’s athletic director. Surrounding schools have shared different ideas with one another, such as having players wear gloves when completing drills that require them to pass or hand off equipment, so that those policies are also widespread throughout Jeffco. At Columbine specifically, there has also been a heightened focus on drills that can be completed individually, Simpson said. Footballs are sanitized whenever they are not being used and players have been asked to wash their hands after every touchdown. But despite a widespread commitment to health and safety, he added that the transition has required many hours of planning and preparation. “These are really challenging parameters for any sport,” he said. “I was a little worried the kids wouldn’t want to do it, but I was so wrong on that. They’ve been unbelievable at understanding this and they’ve just lit up being together.” Matt Heckel, the athletic director at Dakota Ridge, also said he has seen how important it is for the school’s athletes to be able to get together again. “It’s not only about the physical activity, it’s also the mental component. I think that’s the most important part of it,” he said. “Our community, and that means parents, players and coaches, they need this positive interaction. Our coaches are positive role models and sense-makers for these kids.”
There is another phase of the plan, Step 4, that has not yet been implemented. Step 4 was initially planned to run from July 27 to Aug. 8, allowing for a full return to normal workouts for all sports, with symptom screening and equipment sanitization still required. But Simpson said with the current conditions of the pandemic, he and other athletic directors are not sure that the district will move past Step 3 before the beginning of the school year. Jeffco classes are scheduled to begin the week of Aug. 24. Awaiting news about fall sports season As of July 17, the state of Colorado had not yet decided what high school sports, if any, will be able to have their fall season. CHSAA has submitted plans to the governor’s office and is awaiting feedback, Simpson said. In the meantime, he said he is optimistic and hopeful that sporting events will be able to come back. “The better this plan works, the higher likelihood of us playing our season,” he said. The student athletes share in that optimism and, after months of focusing on the pandemic, they say they’re trying to stay focused on the potential season ahead. “I am hoping that this upcoming football season will be a great experience and a memorable season for everyone on the team,” said senior Dakota Williams, a Dakota Ridge football player. “I am excited because I feel that we have a chance to win a championship this year, and I’m also hoping to leave a legacy that others can look up to.”

COVID classrooms: The closer to home, the better the decision
L
ocal autonomy has been a longterm main stay on making decisions involving CROSS public school districts and their CURRENTS students. In Colorado, we elect candidates to serve on boards of education to make policy decisions with the advice of superintendents of schools and their staffs. Now, with the Coronavirus soon to Bill Christopher be in its fifth month and the start of school just around the corner, the President of the United States has come out with
his mandate of physically opening all schools for the upcoming fall semester. He argued that the social, psychological and educational costs of keeping children at home any longer would be worse than the virus itself. His motive is a pressing drive to get the country going again ASAP. He has even threatened to cut off federal funding to those school districts which do not obey his demand. President’s mandate ignores virus’ resurgence President Trump is blinded by his insistent goal to get the national economy humming again prior to the November election without considering the consequences. He is in denial of the reoccurrence of the virus.
His daily pronouncements on beating the virus are pure bunk. His demand to physically open all schools on a full-time basis as well as prematurely reopen businesses ignores the current resurgence of the COVID-19 virus across America. The State of Florida set a new daily record on July 12, with 15,300 new virus cases. Plus, he is trying to impose a one size fits all approach on opening schools which ignores the virus case data from state to state. Florida, Texas, Arizona, California and some other southern states are experiencing a huge resurgence while other states such as Maine, Hawaii and West Virginia are not seeing a spike in new cases. Colorado is in the middle ranked 25th among the states
with 36,933 confirmed cases with 1,726 deaths at the time of this writing. Mixed messages There are parents, teachers and health experts who are hesitant or outright in opposition to reopening all schools physically on a full-time basis. U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos argues that children have far less of a chance to contract the virus. She stated “There is nothing in the data that suggests that kids being in school are not in any way dangerous.” On the other hand, Johns Hopkins University Hospital and other medical experts say it is not a good idea to bring SEE CHRISTOPHER, P15
The good, the bad, and the jumbly
A
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks for childcare support Childcare is an industry that is critical to our economy, allowing essential workers and employees across sectors to provide the goods and services we all depend on. And, quality childcare is good for kids. Research shows that children who attend quality early learning programs reap the benefits with academic success and even increased lifetime earnings. I thank Congressman Ed Perlmutter (D-CO7) for co-sponsoring the Child Care is Essential Act. This federal legislation proposes a 50-billion-dollar investment in the childcare industry, to help the sector survive the economic fallout of COVID-19 and, in turn, help children and working families here in Adams County. Across the country, we are poised to lose 4.5 million child-

care slots, and more than 80,000 in Colorado. This is because childcare centers cannot weather the extended closures caused by COVID-19, or have not been able to survive financially with mandated reductions in class sizes. Robust federal support is the only option to sustain the childcare sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. I applaud Congressman Perlmutter for recognizing that childcare is essential—essential to children and to economic recovery in Colorado. As an early childhood professional, I call on all the full Colorado federal delegation to join Congressman Perlmutter and co-sponsor the Child Care is Essential Act.

ccording to a top-secret study that up until recently had been suppressed, for one week in January there were an identical number of bad people 18 and older living in America as good people. How the statistic was determined would take forever to explain. What qualified as bad? What qualified as good? QUIET Some general assumpDESPERATION tions could be made about violent gang members (bad) and first responders (good). Not all priests and politicians are bad, so someone really had to do their homework. Is shoplifting bad? Yes. But was a single incident sufficient to be grouped with the bad population? Craig Marshall The parts of the study Smith that were not redacted provided a few clues, but left me with a lot of unanswered questions. I have done some bad things in my life; at least by my definition. But maybe they weren’t bad enough. I’d like to think I am a good person, but some of my former students may not think so. At the time when the bad and good were evenly divided, there were 162,359,017 bad people and 162,359,017 good people that had been tracked. Hoping to break the tie before publication, the investigators located a young man who was about to turn 18 to a small town in Missouri and tempted him. That’s right. He was followed around on his birthday and into the only bookstore in town where by pre-arrangement he was given too much change for the purchase of the book he purchased, which happened to be “Crime and Punishment,” by the way. Would he keep the excessive amount or return it to the salesperson? Lana Del Rey sings, “I heard you like the
bad girls, honey, is that true?” The Shangri-Las sing, “He’s bad, but he’s not evil.” Jimmy Dean sings, “Big John, big bad John.” Dialogue in a 2003 film: “He’s wrong.” “Yeah, wrong can be fun.” Am I wrong? I might have been at one time. Now, like just about everyone who ages except Keith Richards, I have slowed. I drove the width of Kansas with my left turn signal on. Never was a rebel without a cause. Never had a pack of cigarettes in my T-shirt sleeve. Never walked around with toothpick dangling from my sensuous lips. All of these behaviors are signs of being bad. Then, of all things, in the early 1970s the word “bad” came to mean “good.” “He’s bad” meant “wonderful, deeply satisfying.” The bad-good committee members must have had their hands full distinguishing between bad when it’s bad and bad when it’s good. Anyone who puts a hat on a dog is bad, as far as I’m concerned. Anyone who follows my car too closely is bad, as far as I’m concerned. Anyone who says “Me and her” is bad as far as I am concerned. But did transgressions like that impress the committee? Back to Missouri. The young man walked to the counter with his book and paid with a twenty. He was given change for a fifty but didn’t realize it until he was out the door and up the block. He stopped, reached in his pocket, and looked at the change he’d been given. Meanwhile, across the street he was being watched. The teeter-totter of good and bad in America was waiting on what he did next. And for once, there was some good news.

Pandemic purpose, passion, performance
hat happens when our “getup-and go” has gotten up and went? That’s a question many of you have been asking in one way or another. While some continue to push through, living and working with tenacity, WINNING resiliency and grit, others are finding WORDS their energy being drained and their motivation running on fumes. If you are in the group who is pushing through, you are probably drawing on your purpose and passion, while measuring your Michael Norton performance. And if you consider yourself to be in the population of people who feels like their “get-up-and-go” has gotten up and went, then I encourage you to keep reading. And the first thing you should know is that you are not alone. The good news is that we can overcome the pandemic funk with a little pandemic purpose, passion and performance. When someone reaches out
looking for a little motivational pick-meup, here are the three questions I ask them: What were you most passionate about pre-pandemic? What are you passionate about now? Does your passion provide you with a sense of purpose, or does your purpose fuel your passion? You are probably seeing and hearing about some of the hobbies, activities and learnings that people have become passionate about during this time. Everything from cooking, knitting, biking and working out to learning a foreign language, a new skill, or maybe learning to play an instrument. And looking at some of the posts and seeing for myself how people have mastered things in such a short amount of time, tells me that they went after it with purpose and passion. In a recent discussion with a friend of mine who found himself losing his motivation, I asked the three questions and enthusiastically shared how impressed I am with what people are doing these days and how driven they are to succeed. At first, he wasn’t buying in. He even said something to the effect of, “Good for them.” I reminded him that he called me, and my assump-
tion was that he wanted my help. After a few more words of hope and encouragement I got him to play along and answer my questions. By the time we finished up he identified that what his passions were prepandemic are still his passions today. And after further discussion he also concluded that his purpose absolutely fueled his passion. You see, it would have been useless if I simply gave him some quick motivational thoughts and spoke about the need for a positive attitude. He might have felt better temporarily, but it would have worn off. So why am I sharing this story with you? Because maybe during this pandemic you have lost your motivation and inspiration too. And maybe like my friend, you aren’t bought in yet. And if this is you, I encourage you to answer these same three questions: What were you most passionate about pre-pandemic? What are you passionate about now? Does your passion provide you with a sense of purpose, or does your purpose fuel your passion? And don’t just think about them, write out your answers and talk through them with someone else. It will make all the difference for you.
And if you need a friendly ear to listen, send me an email. The last part of this is all about performance. When we can identify what drives us and fires us up, we can attach goals or performance metrics to our activities. No matter what it is we are trying to accomplish, we should know when we want to achieve it and what success milestones look like along the way. Without defining what success will look like, we will accept any level of accomplishment or possibly even stop at any time. How about you? Has your “get-upand-go” gotten up and went? Is it time for an adjustment in the way you are thinking about what really motivates you? I would love to hear your purpose, passion, and performance story at mnorton@tramazing.com. And when we can identify what drives us and fires us up, it really will be a better than good week.

youth back into the classrooms. Clearly, there are mixed messages and varying opinions on what is the best course of action to take. Just earlier last week, the public schools in Los Angeles and San Diego announced that students would NOT be returning to the classrooms. This affects over 800,000 students. Also, teachers’ unions are in opposition across America to have students back in the classrooms.
How safe is parents’ call So, what is the best decision for youth from K-12 grades? There is no easy answer. We know that school is more than learning from a textbook or a teacher’s lecture. Socialization is a vital part of growing up especially in the formative years. As DeVos stated, children have not been a target of the COVID-19 thus far. However, when 25-40 children/youth are brought together in a classroom five edays a week with all the touching of surfaces, standing close together in line, eating lunch in a confined environment etc., will that past track record negated? No one knows for sure. It really gets down to how safe parents want to be with their student-age children.
Virus metrics are a part of the picture . As I stated earlier, Colorado so far has experienced a “middle-of-the-pack” set of metrics involving people affected with the virus. Drilling down on the Denver metro area data, we find the following set of statistics — Denver City and County 7,902 cases with 394 deaths, Arapahoe County 5,647 cases with 349 deaths, Adams County 4,757 cases with 158 deaths, Jefferson County 3,026 cases with 215 deaths and Douglas County 1,161 cases with 52 deaths and Broomfield City and County 342 cases with 30 deaths. For Westminster, in both Adams and Jefferson Counties, you can see that on a county-wide basis, Adams is ranked third and Jefferson County is ranked fourth in having the most cases in the metro area. Again, our area is in the middle similar to our state’s ranking. While such metrics are not an all-
Westminster school districts set policy As we know, Westminster is located in three different school districts — Westminster Public Schools, Adams 12 Five Star School District and Jefferson County R-1 School District. When checking on the policy decision of each district (as of the writing of this column), we find that Westminster Public Schools and Jefferson County Schools have decided to physically open classes five days a week and have students return to the classrooms. However, in both districts, the school boards have offered an option for virtual learning if parents are not comfortable in having their students interacting with other youth and teachers in classrooms. In the case of Adams 12 Five Star, the school board and Superintendent of Schools Chris Gdowski are still evaluating the options. So, stay tuned for their decision. Our prayers go out to you Needless to say, this is a difficult decision for parents or the student’s caregiver(s) to make. No one can say for sure what the short range future holds in Adams and Jefferson Counties as far as how much the Coronavirus might spread or be repressed. We don’t know the virus’ dynamics in classroom settings. We don’t know when a vaccine will be confirmed and ready to be administered nationwide. We do know that it is important for the school districts to give parents choices on how they want their children to learn this coming school year. We do know that each state and each school district has its own unique features, environment and demographic considerations. These facts re-confirm that decision-making involving our public schools and the thousands of students who attend them should be made at the local level. School Boards and superintendents of schools know best for the students, teachers and staff. And Mr. President, drop the threat of cutting federal funding to those school districts that decide not to open fulltime five days a week. Such tactics are just plain tacky and are not presidential.

n a summer where large gatherings of family, neighbors and friends are still barred, and with many wanting to avoid crowds out of caution, metro Denver residents have reconnected with taking an old-fashioned walk outdoors. It’s a ripe time to check out the parks in your area that you may have overlooked — or even to find a new park a few miles away. There’s more to parks in the Denver area than Cherry Creek State Park, Standley Lake Regional Park, Washington Park and the other big names, and there’s lots to find beyond the old standby down your street. Here’s a look at some unique and standout parks in the north, south and west metro suburbs.

nnovation is the name of the game for most theaters during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly since an artf orm that gathers people together in a small space will be among the last to reopen. So, Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse has been doing just that — livestreaming the first entry in the Quarantine Cabaret series and hosting summer camps at Southridge Park. But it still has the same concern that so many have — earning the funding necesCOMING sary to keep ATTRACTIONS creating. “As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, one of our greatest strengths before the pandemic was that 70% of our income was earned income from ticket sales, classes and Clarke Reader camps,” said Len Matheo, executive and artistic director at Miners. “We weren’t overly reliant on donated income, but now that strength has become a weakness, as we seek to bring income into the theater when we can’t produce any income from ticket sales, classes or camps.” Especially with the theater deciding to close its doors through the end of 2020, the situation is going to get precarious quickly. In an effort to make it less so, the theater’s annual mid-year fundraiser is more important than ever. Up until 2019, Miners Alley had only two fundraising events — Colorado Gives Day and one other. “I was brought in last year to ramp up development at Miners Alley, and we’re going to be bringing other fundraising initiatives in the future,” said Leslie A. Rutherford, director of marketing and audience development. “We’ve also been applying to grants to help the theater.” In 2019 the theater had its best year yet, with more than 20,000 patrons passing through its doors, Matheo said. In the five or so months that the theater has been closed, those same audience and community members have been extremely generous with their support — both financial and otherwise. “It’s really heartening to see how much our patrons care about us,” he said. “The majority of them have donated the money from their tickets back to us, and so many donations have been accompanied by notes of support.” Matheo and the rest of the staff are already working on next year’s season, with the aim of reopening in January. The season is expected to include the production of “The Crucible” that was

supposed to be staged this year and new shows with small casts, social distancing and other safety protocols in place. The plan is also to provide livestreaming viewing options for those who don’t feel comfortable attending in person. That livestreaming plan makes the new Quarantine Cabaret series — which debuted on July 18 with John Hauser, the star of “Once,” and David Nehls, musical director of “Once” — a kind of test run to see how livestreaming an event would go for. Combined with the positive reviews the online and outdoor summer camps have been receiving, there’s a lot to be excited for in the future. Supporters should check Miner Al-

It sits in the west part of the city near North Wadsworth Boulevard at 7577 W. 103rd Ave. Lakewood Lasley Park in east Lakewood features a games court with ping pong, cornhole and chess, outdoor fitness equipment, sand volleyball, basketball, tennis courts and a “modern playground,” says Stacie Oulton, a spokeswoman for the city. The park’s “storybook design theme” features mosaic artwork by local artist Annette Coleman and quotes selected by children at the nearby elementary school, Oulton says. That park sits at 6677 W.

most of us are traveling anywhere, it’s by car. So now is the perfect time to catch up on Hannah Fidell’s “The Long Dumb Road,” which I caught at the Vail Film Festival back in 2018. It stars Jason Mantzoukas and Tony Revolori as two men who spontaneously meet on the road to Los Angeles, and while there are laughs aplenty, the film aims for more than jokes. They’re real people, struggling to start a new stage in their lives, and it just happens to be hilarious. There’s a rich cinematic history of mismatched pairs taking to the road, and if “The Long Dumb Road” doesn’t break any new ground, it’s also much more than funny. Watch it on Netflix.

Outdoors, the park has an athletic field, “adventure playground,” outdoor fitness area, amphitheater, events building, a pond, 7 miles of unpaved trails, a 1-mile paved trail loop, zip lines and an “epic adventure tower,” says Jeff Smullen, Castle Rock’s assistant director of parks and recreation. The park sits in the central part of town, not far from Interstate 25, at 1375 W. Plum Creek Parkway. One of the newest trails in Castle Rock’s system is the Legacy Trail at Gateway Mesa Open Space. It runs through large stands of mature Gambel oak, ponderosa pine and Douglas fir forest while also traversing interesting rock formations along the edge of the mesa, Smullen says.

From swan dives to figure eights Denver’s Smith Lake in the 1900s was a year-round urban resort BY KIRSTEN DAHL COLLINS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
As summer grips the city and Denverites bemoan our regrettable lack of ocean, we might do well to remember that Washington Park once had its very own beach. In the summer of 1911, Smith Lake, located near the northern end of the park, inaugurated its new swimming area — complete with sand, a diving platform and an elegant bathhouse. Two hundred enthusiastic bathers showed up on the lake’s north shore for opening day. Everything was free, including soap, showers and extremely modest turn-of-the-century swimsuits. This was the era of corsets, big hats and propriety, so ladies donned knee-length shirts with capped sleeves before taking the plunge. And one can safely assume that none of the men wore speedos. A line of rope modestly divided the male and female swimming areas. All this seems remarkable considering that before 1867, this 18-acre lake did not exist. Beginning in 1860, local entrepreneur John W. Smith took on the job of building a 26-mile irrigation canal from the South Platte River into the dry, treeless scrublands of what is now central Denver. More than four decades later, Denver residents were paddling rowboats and executing swan dives in the same place.
The 1913 Boathouse in Washington Park, pictured, dates back to an era when Smith Lake was a popular urban resort, with a swimming beach and winter skating. Across the lake on the north shore is another vintage building, the 1912 Dos Chappell Bathhouse, which once provided beach-goers with locker rooms and showers. Currently it houses Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, a nonprofit that tends to the state’s natural resources. COURTESY OF TIM COLLINS Smith put his new lake to work as a reservoir and source of ice for Denver’s cocktails, ice cream churns and ice boxes. Nowadays, the 10-foot-deep lake develops only thin, patchy ice in the winter. But longtime Denverites remember when Smith Lake regularly froze solid, attracting hordes of ice skaters. In the late decades of the 19th century, Smith Lake acquired a scandalous

reputation. According to the Washington Park East Neighborhood Association (WPENA) website, “by the 1890s, the lake was considered somewhat of a nuisance as it attracted ‘young men who insisted on showing their anatomy in the waters.’” The Denver Republican reported that so many boys were utilizing the lake in this manner that “ladies refuse to go on the elegant and beautiful drive in that vicinity.” Despite the skinny-dipping, residents of south Denver began to envision Smith Lake as the centerpiece of a new park. The city began acquiring nearby land and eventually bought the lake from Smith in the early 1900s. The newly-assembled Washington Park opened in 1903 as part of the City Beautiful movement, which originated with architects and urban planners in Chicago. Elegant European-style fountains, pavilions and gardens sprang up in cities across the U.S. and during this era, some notable architecture was also erected at Smith Lake. Frederick Ameter and James B. Hyder designed the Dos Chappell bathhouse, completed in 1912 and now a state landmark. On the south shore, architect Jacques Benedict — who went on to design other flamboyant landmarks like the Sports Castle at 1000 Broadway — created a striking boathouse. Now also a beloved Wash Park landmark, the 1913 building resembles an early 20th century take on a Greek temple. According to WPENA’s account, the lower level originally sheltered boats and a ticket office for boat rentals, and also doubled as warming hut for skaters. The open-air pavilion on the upper level was intended for picnics and other public gatherings of up to 500 people, reflecting the publicspirited zeitgeist of the City Beautiful movement. These days, the Smith Lake boathouse is especially memorable when it lights up in the evening, its white columns glimmering over the water. In normal, non-pandemic times, the city rents out the pavilion level for weddings and other parties. Passersby often hear distant strains of music as guests dance the night away. During its nearly 50-year life span, the Smith Lake beach was wildly popular, serving thousands of water-
starved Denverites every summer. Admission was free but as the Denver Library’s history site puts it, “… not everyone was not free to use it.” Overt racism was rampant in turnof-the century America, reflected in Jim Crow laws and the 1908 “Gentleman’s Agreement,” which severely limited immigration from Asian countries. In 1913, Japanese-Americans were banned outright from swimming at Smith Lake. About 10 years later, in the mid-1920s, the Ku Klux Klan sprang back to life and began sponsoring car races and family picnics in Denver. By the early 1930s, Denver’s KKK leaders had been discredited, but racism was still alive in the city. On Aug. 17, 1932, 150 African-Americans bravely attempted to swim at Smith Lake beach in an organized protest against de facto segregation. White swimmers attacked them with sticks and stones, but instead of arresting the attackers, police arrested some of the protesters. Was Smith Beach ever integrated? It is difficult to know. The beach closed for swimming before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in public places. And well before the 1960s, the lake was suffering from age. Urban lakes are delicate organisms, vulnerable to pollution, algae blooms and accumulating sediment. By the mid-1950s, lifeguards at Smith Lake beach could barely see a foot beneath the surface. The beach finally closed in 1957 amid the polio scare. By the early 1980s, the once-elegant bathhouse had also fallen into disrepair and was being used as maintenance shed. Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) — a nonprofit that tends to the state’s natural resources — and the organization’s then-executive director Dos Chappell, a Washington Park resident, led a fundraising campaign to restore the building. Completed in 1996, the renovated bathhouse now bears Chappell’s name and serves as headquarters for VOC. The old locker rooms are gone and the bathhouse no longer gives way onto a sandy beach. But the handsome twin fireplaces remain — a reminder of the days when skaters warmed their toes in the lobby and Smith Lake served as an urban resort all year round.

Girl Scouts of Colorado offers new diversity program STAFF REPORT
The Girl Scouts of Colorado has launched a program that is designed to include the entire community — even non-Girl Scouts. The program is called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is “designed to help participants start the conversation about race and racism by learning to appreciate diversity and honor and celebrate differences,” states a news release. Anybody is welcome to participate in the program — it is not limited to Girl Scouts — and is designed for families, communities, schools, religious groups and other social engagement groups. The program includes hands-on activities, reflective writing, discussions on understanding and more, according to a news release from Girl Scouts of Colorado. The activities ease the way for having “meaningful conversations with youth starting at kindergarten through 12th grade,” according to the news release. All activities are available in Spanish. A comprehensive list of the activities for each age level can be found on the Girl Scouts of Colorado’s website: www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org. Everyone who completes the activities for the program will earn the “Diverse. Inclusive. Together.” patch. A digital version of the patch is available for
those who are not Girl Scouts. The programming brought to the community through a multi-partner partnership between the Girl Scouts of Colorado, Children’s Hospital Colorado, Colorado Mountain College, Denver Public Schools and Denver 7. In addition to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion activities, the program also includes virtual roundtables for anyone who would like to participate. Called Conversation Starters: Let’s Talk Differences, the virtual roundtables will provide families with the “tools they need to begin talking about issues related to race and racism,” states a news release. The Conversation Starters will be offered twice. The first one is for parents and caregivers, and it takes place on July 30. The second takes place on Aug. 13, and is “specifically designed to answer questions on these topics directly from children,” states the news release. “The Girl Scout movement has been about social justice, equity and inclusivity from its very beginning, and part of the Girl Scout mission is to make the world a better place,” said the Girl Scouts of Colorado’s CEO Leanna Clark. “As an organization, Girl Scouts of Colorado is recommitting to that mission. That’s why we’re opening up this programming beyond girls and beyond our Girl Scout community to make it available to as many people as possible. We hope families will take part together to deepen their understanding of themselves and others.”

The Division Engineer, in accordance with §37-92-401, Colorado Revised Statutes (2019), has compiled the list of absolute water rights that he or she “has determined to have been abandoned in whole or in part and which previously have not been adjudged to have been abandoned.” A complete list of water rights that have been abandoned, in the opinion of the Division Engineer, may be found on the Division of Water Resources (DWR) website https://www.colorado.gov/water. If you wish to object to the inclusion of any water right on the Division Engineer’s abandonment list, you must file a written statement of objection with the Division Engineer by July 1, 2021. We request that objections be submitted using DWR’s Abandonment Objection Form, which can be obtained on the DWR website (search keyword “Abandonment 2020”) or from any DWR office. The Abandonment List, with any revisions made as a result of written statements of objection, will be filed with the Water Court by December 31, 2021. Once the list is adjudged by the entry of a decree by the Water Court, such decree will be conclusive as to the abandonment of the water right. In the following table, U indicates units of either C=cfs or A=acre-ft. The uses being abandoned are either 'All Uses' indicating all decreed uses of the water right, or the individual uses listed, such as Irr=Irrigation. If any aspect of the decreed place of use is being abandoned, that is indicated by 'Yes' in the Place column.
