Grocery workers, Coloradans 60plus now up for vaccine Ag workers, people with two or more high-risk conditions also prioritized

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In another fragmentation of Colorado’s long priority list for receiving a coronavirus vaccine, the state officially moved Coloradans ages 60 to 64 closer to the front of the line and placed grocery and agricultural workers as the next group of “frontline” employees to receive shots.

“I’m focused on ensuring that Coloradans who are at the most risk of COVID due to the environment they work in can receive the vaccine so we can save more lives and end this pandemic,” Gov. Jared Polis said in a Feb. 26 news release.

Soon after, public health officials highlighted the arrival of federal authorization for a third vaccine, the shot made by Johnson & Johnson — also known as the Janssen vaccine. That’s in addition to the previously approved Pfizer and Moderna shots.

“They were developed in record time,” John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, said during a March 4 virtual town hall on vaccines in Colorado.

He added: “There have been some concerns by some people of, ‘Oh, that’s too fast. I’m not sure I really trust those vaccines.’”

The “Spaceship House” in Adams County, on the east side of Pecos Street. Neighbors wanted to preserve it and make it a community center, but due to an approved PUD amendment, a developer will demolish it to build new homes. The developer said it would be too much work to restore the building, an assessment that most Adams County commissioners agreed with.

‘Spaceship House’ on the bubble County Commissioners approve Sherrelwood Village subdivision, despite push to save domed building

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Adams County Board of Commissioners sealed the fate of a building that many neighbors consider iconic when the board approved a PUD amendment at a March 2 public hearing.

Commissioners voted 4-1 for a 47-unit addition to the Sherrelwood Village subdivision just south of Federal Heights, where an old dome-shaped building resides. The board’s decision follows a fervent

community push to preserve the building and prevent the development of higher-priced homes in the area.

Community organizing began four months prior when resident Sarah Garner started a change.org petition to “Save the `Spaceship House’ from Demolition!” along 79th Avenue and Pecos Street. The building, marked by rounded rooftops and colorful windowpanes, once belonged to Children’s Outreach Project, a preschool in Westminster Public Schools. A few years ago, Delwest Development Corp. acquired the property to ultimately build on it alongside another lot it developed directly to the south.

“Many members of our community have a nostalgic connection with this location, and it brings back memories of times and places in North Denver that are now lost to the sands of time,” said a

description in the Change.org petition that gathered 2,140 signatures

by March 2.

Yet, representative Craig Fitchett said at the public hearing, “This property was always intended to be demolished.” Fitchett said the plumbing is ripped out, windows are broken, and that plaster and concrete are in disrepair.

“Not to be confrontational. But this monolithic dome building form has been around for a while … They (dome buildings) are significant in the sense that they are tornado-proof. But they are not significant in their rarity.”

Commissioner Chaz Tedesco didn’t welcome Fitchett’s comments and said community members appreciate the building within its Adams County context, not the wide world of architecture.

Adams Co. economic summit tries to keep spirits high “State of the Region” event features Sen. John Hickenlooper and economist Patty Silverstein to deliver optimistic message

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The pandemic might have done damage, but the future looks bright, was the message the Adams County Regional Economic Partnership (AC-REP) sought to send at the State of the Region event on March 4.

The economic development group’s inaugural event featured an uplifting message from Sen. John Hickenlooper and a forecast from economist Patty Silverstein about the county’s post-pandemic recovery. Concluding her presentation, Silverstein, president of Develop-

HOUSE FROM PAGE 1

“It is an object of the community. It is an iconic building in this area because it is the only building in this area.” Tedesco also said that Delwest shouldn’t demolish the building for cosmetic deficien-

ment Research Partners, said, “Hang in there. In another four to six months, we will feel oh, so much better. We will start to feel like we’re on a growth track once again.”

Still, Silverstein’s optimistic predictions didn’t overshadow data about the destruction that COVID-19 has caused. When the data is finalized, Silverstein said she expects Adams County’s 2020 average unemployment rate to be about 8 percent.

Depending on how one looks at the numbers, though, Adams County did better than some of its neighbors. When unemployment skyrocketed last spring as public health restrictions tightened, Adams County “had the least job losses of any of the metropolitan area counties,” Silverstein said. That’s partly due to Adams County’s employment base.

Fifty percent of jobs in the county are considered middle-wage, like those in the manufacturing, construction and government sectors.

Unemployment didn’t hit high and middle-wage jobs as severely as lowwage ones, like those retail, leisure and hospitality, a group that repre-

sents 27% of workers in the county.

Still, Silverstein said, “Adding all that together, then, we saw, again very significant job losses in 2020.”

Her firm projects that the Denver metro region lost 74,000 jobs in 2020.

On the flip side, Silverstein sees promising trends to help make up for losses. For example, a large share of Adams County residents are Millennials who have disposable incomes and are interested in buying homes. Plus, Silverstein said, “We have been building to population growth.” Also, a third of industrial commercial real estate in the Denver metro region is in Adams County, meaning it’s a hub for the manufacturing and distribution of consumer goods.

In another presentation, AC-REP representative Janet Fritz further highlighted those economic drivers, including Downtown Westminster, Thornton’s Amazon warehouse and Alliance Business Center, Northglenn’s mixed-use development civic center area, Intermountain Rural Electric Association’s administrative operations hub in Bennet and

the Denver Commercial Property Services headquarters in Commerce City.

A particular feature Hickenlooper sung praise of was the Colorado Air and Space Port (CASP), a home for companies investing in commercial space transportation.

“Beyond this pandemic, Adams County has, well, there’s no limit.

You have such tremendous growth potential … About five percent of our (Colorado’s) aerospace jobs are in your county,” the freshman senator said.

His excitement for the county and CASP is a personal sort, he explained. “As Senator, I’m over the moon. Sorry, that’s a dad joke. I’m over the moon to be sharing the senate subcommittee on science and space within the (U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and transportation).”

Like Silverstein, Hickenlooper said today’s challenges are, “of epic proportions.” He added, “But, I’m an optimist and I know that, together, Colorado will build back stronger than ever.”

cies.

Petitioners wanted the building to stay put and become a community center integrated with the prospective development, an idea that Tedesco and Commissioner Lynn Baca endorsed. Ultimately, Tedesco was the only dissenting vote. Baca approved the PUD amendment alongside Board Chairperson Eva Henry and Com-

missioners Steve O’Dorisio and Emma Pinter.

Tedesco also took issue with the anticipated $400,000 sticker price on homes that Delwest will build in the area. “That area has a high rate of low income and retired people … When we raise those costs in that area, that has a negative affect overall, which is part of gentrification,” he said.

Other commissioners didn’t disagree and even refuted Fitchett’s claim that the units will be “affordable housing.” “It’s middle market, but not affordable,” said O’Dorisio. Yet, O’Dorisio said the PUD amendment wouldn’t have as drastic of an effect as some people fear it will. To really address these issues, he said, “Our comprehensive plan really needs to step up.”

Westminster enacts drought watch Water supply conditions currently below average, increased awareness needed

could change”, said Kirschbaum.

“We will continue to watch the drought situation closely but any water savings will reduce the strain on limited water supplies and potentially lessen the chance of moving to mandatory restrictions.”

STAFF REPORT

With the start of Spring just weeks away, Westminster is sounding the alarm about drought this summer.

The city enacted a drought watch, effective March 1, based on current water supply conditions. The voluntary watch calls for residents to water their lawns less, track and fix plumbing leaks and pledge to reduce their water use. Customers can make the pledge and sign up to receive drought status updates, get water-saving tips and sign up for conservation programs at www. cityofwestminster.us/drought.

“We are taking this proactive step to encourage wise water use today to ensure water supplies are available for our customer’s most critical needs in the future,” Public Works and Utilities Director Max Kirschbaum said in a written statement.

“Our focus with the Drought Watch stage is to provide our customers the education and resources they need to reduce water usage throughout the summer. Drought Watch does not include mandatory restric-

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

tions.”

Westminster is asking water customers to only water their lawns three days per week and not during the hottest parts of the day, 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The city also offers several free or discounted conservation programs.

The National Weather Service’s three-month outlook for Colorado predicts a 40 percent chance of below-normal precipitation with the state and much of the western U.S. to remain in drought conditions

through the end of May at least.

Colorado is currently experiencing an extreme drought and long-range forecasts are indicating warmer and drier than average weather for the remainder of the winter.

In the Clear Creek watershed, the source of the city’s drinking water, the snowpack is below average and soil moisture is far below average.

The city’s share of water storage in Standley Lake is also below average.

“There is still a lot of time left in the snow season and conditions

City reductions The city will also continue to make significant reductions in its own water use. The Parks, Recreation and Libraries department recently converted over 20 acres of bluegrass to climate-appropriate grasses saving an estimated 15 million gallons of water every year.

Another 20 acres will be converted by 2023.

The city recently installed a stateof-the-art central control irrigation system saving about five to ten percent of the city’s total water use.

Irrigation systems citywide will be updated over the next three years to be more efficient, saving an additional 20 million gallons of water a year.

Although each utility and system are different, the city is in close contact with neighboring utilities and the Metro Drought Coordination Group, a group of water agencies that share insights into their respective drought responses. Many utilities in the region have similar concerns about this year’s water supply and are making plans to promote wise water use.

Tri-County on board with Adams 12 in-person learning plan District prepares to welcome more than 9,500 secondary-level students back after spring break for four days of in-person learning

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dr. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, gave a measured stamp of approval to Adams 12 Five Star Schools’ plan to bring secondary level students back for full-time, in-person learning.

“I think the more our kids can be in a supportive and frankly, in-person settings, I think the overall outcome of their health will be better. So, I try to think about this as holistically as possible,” Douglas told the Adams 12 Board of Education at a March 3 meeting.

Douglas’ appearance at the meeting followed Adams 12 announcement Feb. 26 that more than 9,500 middle-and-high school students are allowed to be in the classroom four days a week. They will still learn re-

motely on Wednesdays. Seniors and identified special population students will return March 8, while the rest are slotted for March 29 and 30.

Students will be separated by at least three feet of distance and the district is installing air purifiers in school buildings.

The board unanimously approved the purchase of nearly 3,000 purifiers at the March 3 meeting.

With the district taking those steps, Douglas said, “I think we’re in a very promising place for schools that can implement the matrix of preventive strategies that you all have been doing.”

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) still recommend six feet of distance. Yet, Douglas said, three feet of distance in concert with other precautions, such as single, or double, mask wearing, “should be able to maintain a safe environment.”

The one caveat Douglas said he’s most concerned about is greater transmission of new COVID-19 variants, particularly the United Kingdom one, also known as the B.1.1.7 strain. “We are seeing more diagnoses of it, but it’s not going up in the way it went

up in the UK, yet. Now it could,” Douglas said.

The board and Superintendent Chris Gdowski welcomed Douglas’ comments as an endorsement for the in-person plan.

Though, there was pushback from someone in the community.

An Adams 12 parent, Tara Dahlinger, expressed frustration that the option to return to four days of in-person learning wasn’t available to families who were already enrolled in full-time, remote learning.

Dahlinger said, “Had this been an option, I am sure the majority of the students would have opted to do the hybrid, especially the seniors if they would have known the outcome ahead of time.”

A district spokesperson said Adams 12 didn’t allow full-time, remote learners the option because so many hybrid students already opted for full-time, inperson learning. *** Also, at the March 3 meeting, Gdowski teased what will be a difficult budget-drafting process for the 2021-22 school year.

“At this juncture, what we believe is that we have some difficult decisions to be made around this year for next year.

One of them relates to how much staffing should we maintain and how many predictions should we make around enrollment for next year.”

In the 2020-21 school year, the district had 2,000 less students than it did the prior year, the majority of whom were grade levels pre-school through second grade, Gdowski said. The major issue there is the state bases its funding for school districts on the number of pupils in that district.

Based off projections for next year’s revenue, the district might have $14.5 million less than what it would need to maintain the current studentto-teacher ratio, Gdowski said.

On the other hand, if the new federal coronavirus stimulus package passes, some estimates show Adams 12 receiving $34.5 million in federal relief funding.

Gdowski said a lot could change before the board will be voting on next year’s budget and that district staff will present more detailed reports to the board in upcoming meetings.

The superintendent said, “Bottom line is: this will be a year that final budget development will be late … there is a lot at stake and more complexity than normal in this year’s budget.”

Zenzinger wants what’s best for students A Q&A with state Sen. Rachel Zenzinger about her priorities for education this legislative session

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Even before the Colorado General Assembly legislative session began, state Sen. Rachel Zenzinger was advocating for students and their needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Zenzinger, a Democrat who represents Arvada and Westminster and whose background is in education, was vocal about suspending standardized testing at the beginning of Zenzinger the second semester.

Now, months into the new semester and weeks into the legislative session, Zenzinger has kept her focus on standardized testing and other changes she sees as necessary to support Colorado’s schools.

Already, the Senate has passed one of Zenzinger’s bills, a victory she celebrates. It also means she has more time to work on the other items that still require passage.

Zenzinger spoke with Colorado

Community Media about all her homework as chair of the Senate education committee.

This story has been edited for length and clarity.

Colorado Community Media: So, already you have had a bill pass the Senate. What is it for?

State Sen. Rachel Zenzinger: The upcoming mid-year adjustment. Every year, when we put together the School Finance Act, it’s kind of based on our best guess.

It’s based on projections of what we think will happen. Then, in the middle of the year, we take a look and say, `How are we doing? Were we over or were we under?’ Then we make those adjustments. I was hearing back in November from school districts that they were really concerned we were going to claw back funding from the districts. So, this bill said, `Hey, we’re going to hold districts harmless this year because of COVID. So, whatever the original appropriation is, we’re just going to stick with that and we’re not going to claw back funding.’”

CCM: Historically, a lot of your work in the legislature has been around education. What’s different about this session?

Zenzinger: It’s definitely shifted to be able to address the pandemic

because its impact was severe. We were having a lot of conversations in the education community prepandemic. And when the pandemic struck, some of those conversations were exaggerated and forced to the front.

CCM: Such as?

Zenzinger: Standardized testing. We were already having that conversation about its importance, about accountability and about teacher evaluation. But because of the pandemic, it’s just come forward in a new way that makes us really question whether or not now is the most appropriate time to move forward with standardized testing, given the way our schools are having to operate right now.

CCM: What’s the latest on that situation?

Zenzinger: We did receive some federal guidance recently and they emphasized they are not going to be issuing blanket waivers this year like they did last year.

So, if we want to receive a federal waiver to not do CMAS this year, we’re going to have to ask for it. And if we do that, we should make sure that we are putting forward the best possible waiver application ... We are working on an amendment that will hopefully create a pathway forward, given

this federal guidance.

CCM: What are your goals for the School Finance Act and school funding for the 2021-22 school year?

Zenzinger: Next year’s budget really needs to focus on how we restore the cuts that we made to education because they were dramatic.

We increased the budget stabilization factor to over a billion dollars.

But that’s not enough. We can’t just restore the cuts and expect everything to return to normal because, overall, our education system was already underfunded.

So, we also need to be thinking about longer-term, systemic funding solutions.

CCM: How would you describe your approach to education-related work in the legislature?

Zenzinger: In general, I really prioritize finding solutions and sponsoring legislation with my Republican colleagues. So, I’m trying to bring that same sort of approach to the education world. To say, `you know what, we don’t have to have right and wrong. Why can’t we just try to embrace the conflict and see where we can find common ground and work to find a solution?’

Instead of, `My bill passes, and we win. Or my bill was rejected, and I lost.’ When it comes to our kids, I think that’s a bad approach.

RTD addresses B and G line quiet zone concerns amid community backlash

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Regional Transportation District held a virtual meeting on Thursday, March 4, to discuss the use of train horns within the designated Quiet Zones on the B and G lines.

A Quiet Zone is a section of the railroad where the conductor does not have to routinely blow the train horn, the goal of which is to decrease the impact of train-related noise in residential neighborhoods.

Almost the entirety of the G line’ rail alignment — which runs from Union Station to Wheat Ridge and passes through Arvada — is located within a Quiet Zone, except for a crossing that passes through a BNSF yard. The B line - which connects Westminster to Union Station - does not feature any Quiet Zones, but was included in the meeting because of the shared trackway between the two lines.

Despite the Quiet Zones, meeting attendees who live along the B and G line corridors reported frequent noise pollution from train horns. RTD Assistant General Manager of Rail Operations Dave Jensen said that even in Quiet Zones, safety concerns sometimes call for train operators to sound their horns.

“The reasons the operators are sounding their horns are for safety,” said Jensen. “I want to assure the public that the reason we are sounding our horns is so we don’t hit anybody. We don’t want to take the chance that someone could get hit

because we didn’t take every possible effort to be safe.

“It is our commitment and desire to be good neighbors and not be disruptive to the community,” Jensen continued. “But the loss of life is disruptive to the community.”

Jensen added that the software commuter trains use to avoid collisions — called Positive Train Control — goes through updates that don’t always initialize properly. In those cases when the PTC drops out, the train defers to the automatic train control, which directs the train to sound its horn when it goes through a crossing.

PTC outages are unpredictable and therefore impossible to notify residents of before they occur. RTD Board Member Shelly Cook said that the transportation district has been working with the PTC software manufacturers to reduce the number of outages.

Denver Transit Partners Communications Manager Nadia Garas said that the reason residents don’t find out about train horns necessitated by PTC outages beforehand - and even after the fact, in some cases - is to minimize confusion for those that live near RTD tracks.

“These are issues that we find out about in real-time,” said Garas. “We are working to communicate proactively when we have as much information as we can. We don’t want to give the wrong information because it will cause more confusion.”

Neighbors of the Quiet Zone corridors that called into the meeting said they understood the need to blow

Map of the RTD G line.

train horns in possible collision scenarios, but did not feel that the RTD was doing enough to communicate about these disturbances and did not believe that trains should continue running if the PTC goes out.

“I remember thinking when the Quiet Zones were announced that the horns will always be on, and they have been,” a meeting attendee named Anthony wrote in the chat.

“Why run the trains if the software doesn’t work?”

“Respectfully, I don’t think anyone here is downplaying the need for horns for pedestrian safety,” another meeting attendee named Kelly wrote in the chat. “And it’s disparaging to us to be lectured on that.”

Pauletta Tonilas, RTD’s assistant general manager, said that text alerts for train noise would be included in the next phase of the district’s Rider Alerts service.

“Text opt-in is going to happen with the next rollout of the Rider Alert enhancement,” said Tonilas. “That’s coming this summer. The Rider

Alerts can be filtered by corridor or project.

Our folks also do a great job with Twitter.”

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity.

But many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. It’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact, with a government-insured HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payments are required; however, the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills, or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

health department that covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, emphasized to callers that the vaccine development process was safe.

Despite the speed, vaccines for COVID-19 “went through the same layers of review and testing as other vaccines,” an article by the University of Maryland Medical System says. “Due to the dire nature of the pandemic, certain barriers to development, related to funding and manufacturing, were removed.”

In Colorado, a new set of demographics reached their turn to receive shots on March 5, but people in the previous phases — such as Coloradans 70 and up — remain eligible and will still be prioritized, according to Tri-County Health.

Here’s a look at how the state’s vaccine schedule changed and some highlights from Tri-County Health’s town hall event on vaccines.

Changes leading up to now After Colorado received its first shipments of a COVID-19 vaccine on Dec. 14 and health-care centers began giving shots to health-care workers — part of the state’s first phase of vaccinations — the governor announced that starting Dec. 30, people 70 and older were eligible for the vaccine.

By early January, some hospitals and other health care providers in the Tri-County jurisdiction began “phase 1B,” a stage that included people 70 and older and some healthcare workers and first responders.

On Jan. 29, Colorado had again updated its vaccine schedule, rebranding that stage as phase 1B.1 and laying out a 1B.2 and a 1B.3.

Phase 1B.2 kicked off on Feb. 8 and included Coloradans age 65 to 69 and school workers for grades pre-K through 12, among other groups.

At the time, the next step, 1B.3, was expected to include “frontline essential” workers in general, along with people age 16 to 64 with two or more high-risk health conditions.

Polis had announced that close to March 5, those groups would likely be eligible.

In 1972, the Associated Press broke news that the federal government had let hundreds of Black men in rural Alabama go untreated for syphilis for 40 years for research purposes. A public outcry ensued, and the “Tuskegee Syphilis Study” ended three months later, according to the AP. The effects of the study still linger — it’s routinely cited as a reason some Black Americans are reluctant to participate in medical research, or even go to the doctor for routine check-ups, the AP reported.

One caller to a March 4 TriCounty Health Department town hall about vaccines — an African-American retired firefighter from Aurora — brought up the experiment.

derstands years ago the reluctance” but wanted to know how he could convince others in his community that the COVID-19 vaccine should be trusted.

John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, was glad the question was asked and encouraged the man to continue to spread the message among friends, former firefighters and others.

The vaccines were tested in a variety of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, Douglas said earlier in the event.

Data show that although people of color are underrepresented in the clinical trials for the two initial COVID-19 vaccines compared to their share of the population, the trials include people from diverse racial backgrounds and are more diverse than some trials have historically been, according to an article by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

That includes frontline workers in the following fields: higher education staff in community colleges and colleges, food and restaurant services, manufacturing, the U.S. Postal Service, public transit and other transportation, governmental public health agencies, human services, faith leaders, direct care providers for Coloradans experiencing homelessness, and frontline journalists.

For information in the Tri-County Health Department area — Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — visit tchd.org/866/COVID-19-Vaccine.

The state’s updated schedule as of Feb. 26 is as follows: Phase 1A, winter: Highest-risk health care workers and staff and residents at longterm care facilities such as nursing homes.

Phase 1B.1, winter: Coloradans age 70-plus, and moderate-risk health care workers and first responders.

Phase 1B.2, winter: Coloradans age 65 to 69, pre-K through 12 school workers, workers in licensed child-care programs and some state government officials.

Phase 1B.3, winter: People age 60 to 64, frontline agricultural and grocery store workers, and people age 16 to 59 with two or more high-risk conditions.

Phase 1B.4, spring: People age 50 and older, other frontline workers, people with highrisk conditions, other state government workers and some local government officials.

Phase 2, likely late spring or summer: General public. cine is also known as the Janssen vaccine due to its manufacturer, Janssen Biotech Inc., which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s website lists as “a Janssen Pharmaceutical Company of Johnson & Johnson.”

Aiming to calm fears about the vaccines, Douglas, the local health chief, told callers on the March 4 town hall event that few severe allergic reactions have occurred in

response to the vaccine.

“Less than 1 in 200,000 will have an allergic reaction to this,” Douglas said. “That’s the reason when you get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, you’re advised to be under observation” for a short period of time.

Early safety monitoring of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine detected 10 cases of anaphylaxis — a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction — after the reported

Variants and vaccines With some concerning variants of the virus circulating — such as the more-contagious variant from the United Kingdom — Douglas said current vaccines are expected to still offer protection.

“At least at this point, we don’t have any strains of COVID circulating in the U.S. that we think your Pfizer vaccine wouldn’t take good care of,” Douglas said.

He added: “Moderna and Pfizer are both developing vaccines to deal with some of the variant strains that have been identified, and they’re probably the farthest ahead” in the case that variants begin to pose a large problem to current vaccines.

Early investigations suggest the current vaccines, as well as Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine, may be somewhat less effective against some of the new variants in terms of preventing all symptoms. But even against variants, the vaccines do prevent a lot of mild and moderate cases, the data gathered so far suggest, and are very effective, health officials say, against preventing severe cases, hospitalizations and deaths, National Public Radio reported in early February.

Many area businesses now in level blue under 5-Star rules Change comes due to state meeting mark of getting vaccine shots to 70% of those aged 70 and up

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s arrival at the milestone of getting COVID-19 vaccine shots to 70% of people ages 70 and older opened the door for some businesses in Denver metro counties to open up to larger crowds.

Under the state’s COVID-19 dial system — the set of restrictions counties must follow based on local virus spread — several Denver metro counties remain in yellow, the third least-restrictive level.

The 5-Star State Certification Program allows businesses to operate with expanded capacity if they follow stepped-up COVID-19 safety protocols, letting businesses follow restrictions that are one level lower on the dial than they otherwise would be able to without certification.

Counties across the metro area had been granted the ability to let businesses become 5-Star certified, but the state on Feb. 5 said 5-Star businesses in yellow counties could only operate at level-blue restrictions “once 70% of 70-year-olds” in the state are vaccinated with at least one dose, which was expected

to happen by the end of February, according to a state public-health department news release.

On March 2, Gov. Jared Polis announced that Colorado has met the goal of vaccinating 70% of all Coloradans aged 70 and above, according to an Arapahoe County news release.

The state’s COVID-19 website on March 3 listed Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas, Elbert and Weld as among the counties in yellow where 5-Star businesses can now operate in level blue restrictions.

Some counties in other areas hadn’t yet been listed as able to have

businesses running in blue as of that afternoon.

“Counties participating in the 5 Star Certification Program can choose whether they want their certified 5 Star businesses to operate in the blue level,” said a spokesperson from the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department. “We have asked eligible counties to confirm if their businesses will operate in the blue level but have not heard back from everyone yet.”

In level blue, restaurants indoors are allowed up to 50% capacity or 175 people (or up to 225 using the state’s social distancing space calculator), whichever is fewer. That’s up from 50% capacity or 50 people (or up to 150 using the calculator), whichever is fewer, in level yellow. Other businesses see capacity expand as well.

See the calculator at covid19.colorado.gov/distancing-calculator.

See a full list of which restrictions apply to which levels on the dial by clicking “level restrictions” about halfway down the page at covid19. colorado.gov/data/covid-19-dialdashboard.

More counties close to Denver — including Jefferson, Park, Clear Creek and Broomfield — recently entered level blue, further loosening rules for restaurants and other businesses.

Uncertainty over 5-star relevance Under the “dial 2.0” changes to Colorado’s COVID-19 restrictions on Feb. 6, the state public-health department drastically eased the limits on incidence rates — rates of new cases — that allow counties to remain in certain levels of the dial. The arrival of the “dial 2.0” system had moved Denver metro counties down to level yellow from level orange.

The level a county qualifies for on the dial generally depends on the county’s rate of new cases, its percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive, and whether hospitalizations are increasing, stable or declining.

The dial restrictions apply to capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings.

The 5-Star program may soon be irrelevant in more metro counties if

they’re able to entirely move to level blue — unless worsening virus trends cause a county to move back up to tighter levels. That’s because businesses with 5-Star certification may not operate in the next-lowest level below blue — level green, or “Protect Our Neighbors” — unless the county is formally in that level.

Level green is the least-restrictive level on the dial.

It’s unclear whether virus trends will allow more metro counties to move to blue soon. Despite Broomfield and Jefferson counties moving to blue, their one-week rates of new cases as of March 1 appeared to have ticked up to levels that threaten to move the counties back to level yellow.

Loss of progress possible Although Denver metro counties sit close to qualifying for looser restrictions, trends in the state as a whole may be on a risky track if Coloradans start to have more in-person contacts and let their guard down on behaviors such as mask-wearing.

A key indicator to watch is the “effective reproduction number,” sometimes written “Re,” a measure of how rapidly COVID-19 infections are spreading. The reproduction number shows how many people each infected person will, on average, likely spread the virus to. If the number sits below 1, infections are decreasing.

Colorado’s recent estimate is 0.95, reflecting the virus’ spread in early February. That means the rate of new cases could soon start to increase again if the public isn’t cautious.

Coloradans appeared to be having more in-person contacts in early February compared to in January, according to a Feb. 24 report by the Colorado School of Public Health.

On top of that, if the more-contagious COVID-19 variant from the United Kingdom spreads rapidly in Colorado, the state could see another peak in hospital demand, the report says.

As of late February, Colorado was not seeing rapid spread of concerning variants, according to the state public-health department.

But the UK variant could begin to take firmer hold by mid-March, the report says.

County Clerk seeking sticker art Adams County offers contest for students to design “I Voted” stickers upcoming elections

of the

STAFF REPORT

Adams County students will get a chance to design the “I Voted” stickers for the 2021 local and 2022 elections again.

County Clerk Josh Zygielbaum said the success of the contest in 2019 made bringing the contest back again obvious.

“For the contest in 2019, my office was blown away by the many incredible designs we received,” Zygielbaum said in a written statement. “We knew right away we’d continue running the contest and engaging our community’s youth in the electoral process.

It’s a great opportunity for students to share their creativity and to learn something about elections in the process.”

The third-place design will be featured in the 2021 Coordinated Election and the second-place winner will be featured in the 2022 Primary election.

The grand prize will be featured in 2022’s general elections.

The county’s first design contest in 2019 drew nearly 50 entries from students ranging from kindergarten to college level. Four stickers were chosen as winners and featured in the 2019 and 2020 elections.

The grand prize winning sticker in 2019 contest was Lana Fernandez, a third grade student at Arapahoe Ridge Elementary School at the time. Her sticker was used in COURTESY PHOTO the 2020 election.

Students can submit hand-drawn or digital artwork through May 7 for the latest contest. Prizes will be awarded to the grand prize winner and runners-up. For more information on rules, prizes, and how to enter, visit AdamsVotes.com/contest.

A new Spanish category has been introduced this year. The winning design of this category will be available at in-person voting locations throughout the 2021 and 2022 elections.

VOICES Recall election litigation moves forward

T

hey say the wheels of justice grind way too slow.

That is true in the pending litigation brought against the City of WestCROSS minster by the CURRENTS Westminster Water Warriors. The plaintiff is fighting the clock as far as reaching a successful court decision to then get on with the actual recall election of Mayor Atchison and City Bill Christopher Council members Seitz, Skulley and Voelz.

Adams County District Court Judge Kyle Seedorf held a conference on Feb. 25th focused on pursuing summary judgment.

However, the attorney representing the city through the city’s insurance pool, CIRSA, wanted a hearing in case of appeal. You can quickly see where this is heading as far as dragging out the decision on whether or not there are legal grounds to hold the recall election. An appeal of the trial court’s decision is on the city’s radar and will drag this litigation on and on.

Debbie Teter, a representative of the Water Warriors, stated, “Time is

S

March 11, 2021M

not on our side and the city knows this.”

The timing could be very interesting Basically, the needed evidence to decide on whether the city clerk exceeded her authority in throwing out so many signatures due to a variety of minor flaws is already before the court.

Judge Seedorf has set the dates of April 7 and 9 for the hearing. It’s important to keep in mind the City Charter provision (Section 3.18) which addresses the situation if there was to be a special election within 90 days of the city’s regular election. In such overlapping timelines, the Charter mandates that “the Council shall postpone and consolidate the recall election with such other City elections.”

The election of the mayor and three city council members will take place on Nov. 2 per standard procedure. If the recall election were to take place later than August 3, it would be consolidated into the Nov. 2 date. Wouldn’t that be special! It raises some interesting questions that I do not know how to answer.

Solving the pandemic should not be political I simply don’t get it. A recent Monmouth University poll showed

only 39% of Republicans have either received the COVID vaccine or plan to get it. However, in general, Republicans are quick to push for opening schools, relaxing regulations to open more businesses or more fully open ones already open and to not wear face masks.

I know your leader doesn’t pay attention to scientific facts, but don’t you care about your families, the kids in your children’s school or your business associates? Oh, you were curious about the response from Democrats? The same survey showed 72% saying they are pro-vaccination and got it or will get it.

Hey Republicans, this unaffiliated voter doesn’t get your line of thinking.

City announces modifications in utility billing Turning to Westminster’s high water rates, something must have sunk in at City Hall. City staff has rolled out a multi-faceted plan to help keep the 2022 water and sewer rate increases down.

Did you get that? The rates are going up AGAIN next year. That means Mayor Herb and the three followers (Seitz, Skulley and Voelz) will likely vote once again for higher water and sewer rates.

There are two policy changes they

plan to implement which they say are in response to customer feedback. First, beginning later this year, everyone’s utility billing will be based on a 30-day cycle. Secondly, water usage will be calculated on a per-gallon rate; not the current 1,000 gallons rate.

Neither of these practices will save you any money, but perhaps it will make some customers more comfortable with the credibility of the billing system.

Proposals to modify the impact of utility rate increases Two other measures mentioned can play a role in impacting the water rates.

The first proposal going to City Council in mid-March is a recommendation to partially tap into the Rate Stabilization Reserve cash balance, which currently has a balance of approximately $17 million. This account is intended to help offset lost income when there is a rainy season and lawn irrigation demands are down.

Another measure would have the city reworking its schedule of utility infrastructure projects to push some of them farther out in time.

clocks are changed, particularly in the fall.

Changing clocks is somewhat less of a nuisance than it once was when all clocks had to be manually changed.

Teens: Ask your moms and dads.

Wait: Teenagers don’t read me.

Now many timepieces change on their own.

I have a $19.99 clock radio that knows when it’s time, as it were.

Fall back and spring ahead.

We spring on Sunday, March 14.

I haven’t changed my car’s clock since last November. Why? Because changing the time on my car’s clock takes either tiny fingers or a toothpick.

I knew someone who always had a toothpick in his mouth and wondered why. Dental care is important, of course, but it can be taken too far.

He’d have it in his mouth when we played touch football and touch basketball.

It was, I thought, a big risk to have a toothpick in his mouth, but I guess the coolness of it made it

worthwhile.

I lost track of him. Maybe he swallowed one and maybe he didn’t.

You can still see men — never women — with a toothpicks in their mouths if you watch old movies, especially ones with gangsters.

Gangsters, private investigators, and policemen always had toothpicks nearby.

“Crime Wave,” starring Sterling Hayden, is recommended. The language is pure, stilted pulp. Hayden’s character says, “I love to smoke cigarettes. But the doctors say I can’t have them.”

Then adds, “So what do I do? I chew toothpicks. Tons of them.”

Half the time, he wears a fedora sideways that looks like it’s kept under his pillow at night.

No one messes with him because he’s the size of a power forward.

Stick around for the final scene when he relapses and smokes a cigarette that has a dog leg to the left.

I thought it was a flub, but it’s likely the director wanted Hayden

to be inelegant to the end.

It’s not a comedy but the “patter” might make you laugh a little if you’re not used to noir talk.

When Hayden made the film (1953) you didn’t need tiny fingers or a toothpick to change the car clock.

I don’t know where to get tiny fingers. A friend said she and her daughters rescued a baby squirrel and domesticated it.

“It even put itself to bed every night at 8:30 on the button.”

I didn’t ask if the little fellow made the necessary adjustments semi-annually, or if half the year he went to bed at 7:30.

With Daylight Saving Time right around the corner, I don’t have enough time to find and train a baby squirrel to change my car clock.

Nuts.

Maybe by November?

Hunting for a COVID vaccine takes work

J

anuary marked the start of my fifth year, as a Colorado Community Media freelance photographer and in February, I turned 69 years GUEST of age. That means COLUMN I’m in CDC Category 1-C, which meant that I was now eligible to receive the COVID vaccine.

As I quickly found out, eligibility and availability are two entirely Stefan Brodsky different things.

After completing my annual physical with my SCL Thornton Medical Center provider, I had my doctor’s assistant get me into their COVID vaccine database, figuring sooner or later, they would be administering vaccines for my age group.

As a backup, I went ahead and registered with Salud Health Center in Brighton, and at Health One/ North Suburban Medical Center as well. Nothing happened with these providers, though I did get a phone call from Salud on February 24.

They left no message.

But I’d already started searching for a chance to get vaccinated. Back early in February, around the time of Super Bowl Sunday, I learned that Walmart, Walgreens and King Soopers would soon be joining Safeway and administering Age 65+ Covid vaccinations in Colorado.

I began a daily search of all their respective websites for vaccine appointments. That included the two Walmart stores closest to my home, at 128th Ave. and Quebec St. in Thornton, and at 136th Ave. and Interstate 25 in Westminster.

I eventually learned that these two stores were not among the Walmart stores that were participating but it

took two weeks. The Walmart stores on Grant Street in Thornton, and on Sheridan Boulevard in Westminster were.

Extending school year makes good sense Kudos to Westminster Public Schools leaders for providing a solution to the lost learning that students have experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic Like school districts everywhere, the virus made students switch back and forth between in-class learning and virtual learning.

The District has announced its plan to extend the school year an extra 12 days, to June 11.

The voluntary opportunity has received strong support from WPS parents with an approximate 67% response in favor of the additional learning opportunity. It’s a good way to partially resolve the “lost learning” experience of too many youth.

is that the new water treatment plant project, Water 2025, would not be slowed. As you might expect, this project is the most costly among water capital improvements.

I am delighted to learn that the light bulb came on for city staff to re-evaluate the need and timetable for each utility infrastructure project. I have been harping on this very point for more than a year. I have thought their timetable and magnitude of projects have been overly zealous and overly cautious.

The final measure mentioned reflects several future financial projections based on current market conditions which are more favorable than previously used. These have to do with bond financing of utility infrastructure projects over the next 20 years.

Staff predicts reduced costs of over $200 million over that period of time.

By the way, do you have any ideas on why these measures popped up now? I do. In a word - ELECTION. Seitz, Skulley and Voelz don’t want any high water or sewer rate increases approved during the elec-

Error Screens The Sheridan Boulevard store miraculously listed a 5:40 p.m. Feb. 12 appointment opening and I jumped, completing the company’s multiplepage questionnaire only to see “ERROR” pop up on the screen. That meant there really was no availability, nor appointment for that time.

And the search went on.

The following Monday morning, Feb. 8, I awoke determined to break the logjam.

First, I made sure I was registered online as an “official” customer with all these stores. I quickly checked other participating King Soopers in Westminster, Thornton, and Broomfield, as well as Walmart stores in Commerce City, Longmont, and Aurora.

Nada.

On to the Walgreens web I went, and when appointments came up for a store in Greeley, I thought I’d hit the lottery. After completing their vaccine eligibility questionnaire, I went ahead and booked an opening on Feb. 17. It was the same familiar questionnaire followed by the “book appointment” button.

“Sorry”, said the return message, “no appointments available at this location.” To say I was frustrated was an understatement: Why say you have openings when you don’t?

I kept checking these sites over the next two days, but there were no appointments.

of here, offered multiple vacancies for Feb. 18. No kidding.

I went ahead and filled out their questionnaire, which somehow appeared to be longer than the others.

“That’s good,” I thought, “it means I’m in, right?” WRONG. Though I clicked the “book appointment” button, it kept spinning, and wouldn’t give me a confirmation. Tried it two more times, using other available time slots. Same result. I called their pharmacy there, and the tech lady suggested I try it just before noon, which is when our website gets updated.

Bingo! I got in, for 11:40 a.m.

Thursday, Feb. 18.

We received a few inches of snow the night before but the day dawned clear. By 8:45 that morning, I was on Interstate 76 heading northeast.

Sterling it turns out, is actually less than two hours away. I received my first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine dose at the Walmart Supercenter on West Main Street.

Walmart couldn’t have been nicer.

They’ve even booked my second dose, for March 18, but said if I was able to get one closer to home, let them know, and they’d free up my time slot. After two days of trying,

I finally reached a live person at Salud and inquired about getting a second shot from them.

No dice.

A hero emerges Since then, a good friend from Boulder told me about a newer website called Vaccine Spotter which can help people from experiencing what I went through.

Nick Muerdter, a Golden-based web developer who heard these same kinds of vaccination frustrations from his co-workers. Muerdter figured out the algorithms to centralize where appointments are actually available in Colorado. Can you imagine that?

The address is https://vaccinefinder.nickm.org/ He’s become somewhat of a national celebrity by sharing his web frame with other states. I think he deserves recognition by the White House.

I’ll try again in the coming weeks to land a second dose locally. My guess is, it should be easier than getting the first. If not, it’s on the road again March 18.

Craft bean roasters find their niche as they appeal to refined tastes

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

J

ava, joe, coffee — no matter what we call it, coffee is an integral part of many people’s lives, and metro Denver is known for its craft coffee.

For craft coffee roasters, it’s all about the coffee bean — where it’s from, how it’s grown and how it’s roasted. They have created their roasting companies in the last 10 years, and they are passionate about providing the area with the perfect cup of coffee.

AJ Payne, general manager of Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters in Olde Town Arvada, likened the craft coffee industry to the craft beer industry, something the Front Range is known for.

“Breweries have popped up,” Payne said, “and I see the same thing happening with coffee. I think that you will see more and more smaller batch roasters in cafés (who are) roasting at least for their own cafés.”

Andy Sprenger, owner of Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters in Lakewood and Arvada, agreed.

“I’m super grateful to the craft beer industry for creating that space for independents to serve a higher-quality product,” he said.

“I feel like they paved the way for craft coffee.”

He believes the metro area’s younger demographic is looking for something unique in its coffee.

“I think this is one of the ways Colorado is special. This part of the world attracts a bit of a younger crowd,” Sprenger explained. “Colorado really likes to focus on small, craft, higher quality products, and (people are) willing to pay for them.”

Scott Wilton, operations manager for Bivouac Coffee Roastery and Tasting Room in Evergreen, suggested that Colorado residents enjoy experiences.

“The reason people like craft beer

and coffee is the experience with the product you get to enjoy,” he said.

Sprenger added that coffee has a way of allowing people to connect, especially when they linger with friends over a cup, which has paved the way for coffee-drinkers to become particular about the beverage.

“People have gotten picky about their coffee,” said René Steenvoorden, Bivouac’s owner. “There’s a lot of creativity in coffee. Every time you go to a coffee place, the way it is sourced, roasted and made — even the milk you use makes (the coffee) different. I think that makes it interesting and creates a market.”

A round-up of events that reflect the changes of a year in COVID-19 COMING ATTRACTIONS

t’s difficult to believe the COVID-19 pandemic has been the dominant feature of our lives for right around a full year.

Few industries were stopped dead in their tracks the way the performing arts industry was halted, but at a time when these arts were needed most, artists and entertainers found all kinds of ways to perform and stay connected with audiences.

In recognition of a year of innovation (and with an eye to a brighter future on the horizon), this week’s column is a collection of activities from all over the metro area (and beyond), which spotlight the way performing has changed.

DMNS celebrate Girls & Science with annual event The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is partnering with CBS4 to host the seventh annual Girls & Science Event, held through March 20. This year’s event will be entirely virtual and will feature Virtual Clubhouses, Clubhouse Chats, Stories with Scientists and more.

The event is open to all ages, but activities are oriented to children ages 8 to 18, according to provided information.

A particular highlight is the Stories with Scientists events, which are TED-talk style presentations from mentors followed by live chat via IGTV. There will also be

more hands-on events including specimen sorting that can be done with goods at home.

“The exact same (coffee) plant grown at one elevation can be so vastly different than another (elevation) because of Mother Nature,” he said.

In addition, just as with craft beer brewing and winemaking, it’s important to have a variety of options for a variety of tastes, said Matt Kurgan, owner of Pangea Coffee Roasters in Golden.

“If somebody doesn’t like one coffee,” Kurgan said, “then variety is the key. Giving customers what they want is a tough thing because there are so many different people out there.”

steak because I like to taste the steak,” he said.

He also mentioned that cold-brew coffees are becoming more popular.

The roastery owners say drinking coffee is a regular part of their lives — between two and six cups a day plus tasting the roasts.

In fact, Sprenger says his biggest fear about COVID-19 is the possibility of losing his sense of taste, which is vital in the profession.

“I want to make sure the coffee is where we want it to be, especially when choosing new coffee,” Sprenger said. “Having taste buds firing on all cylinders is important.”

Harmon added: “If I enjoy (the coffee), I feel like I’m a good balance toward being overly snobby about my coffee and knowing what tastes really good.”

Senator Ted Cruz learned the hard way that someone’s watching when you head out of town during tenuous situations.

Hancock had just re-emphasized how important it was to stay home and not travel during the Thanksgiving holiday to avoid possible exposure to the COVIDd-19 virus. He

then hops on a plane to meet family members out-of-state to spend the holiday.

In the case of Cruz, he flew to Cancun, Mexico with his family for a family vacation during the severe weather and power outage which occurred across Texas.

elected officials is not only to check your crystal ball for possible catastrophes when booking a trip but remember to “walk the talk.

as a discussion with close friends about things that you all believe passionately about. The latest exhibit at the Molly Brown House Museum, 1340 Pennsylvania St. in Denver, taps into that same energy with Enter the Conversation: Art of Women’s Rights by Melody Epperson.

The exhibit — which runs through March 14 — celebrates the history of women gathering in clubs and tea parties to strategize in their fight to win the right to vote. Epperson has brought to life an imaginary tea party that features 16 suffragists like Alice Paul, Sojourner Truth, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and features appearances from modern leaders like Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

The exhibit is available to all guests as part of their entry ticket to the museum. Advance ticket purchase is required, as are masks.

the late-2020 album from Alabama’s Pink Siifu and Virginia’s Fly Anakin, does provide a window into a thriving underground scene that builds audiences slowly on services like Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Those who do sample it will find one of the year’s best rap releases — at times playful and searching. Music that sounds great outdoors but lyrics that can live in your head.

The pair are releasing a new EP of material on Friday, March 19, and at 7 p.m. that same day they’ll host a livestream performance from Corpus Studios in New York City.

The duo will be joined by other underground favorites like Mavi, Anklejohn and Remy Banks.

television screens in 2005. But he’s responsible for some of the best British television of this young century and “It’s A Sin,” his most recent effort, might be his best work to date.

The five-episode show is set in the Britain of the 1980s and follows a group of gay friends who all move to London and face the loss and fear of the AIDS pandemic. Based on Davies’ own memories, it’s an emotional whopper of a show without hitting audiences over the head with the losses the community experienced. Davies and his topshelf cast (including Olly Alexander and Lydia West) make sure to capture the fun and freedom that so many finally achieved, and then had taken from them.

of coffee, I lose control of the end result. With a single-serve pod, there’s more control.”

In addition, Kurgan explained that technology has improved, so roasters can keep data on the roasting process and the coffee-bean mixtures that make up the blends — ensuring consistency in the roasting process.

Payne believes coffee aficionados are moving away from the super-dark roast coffees toward lighter roasts because they are looking for more natural and robust coffee flavors.

“When you roast something very dark, you don’t get as much flavor,” Payne said.

He compared it to cooking a steak well done rather than medium-rare.

People usually add sauces to make a well-done steak taste better.

Sweet Bloom, for example, never envisioned online sales, which were necessitated by the pandemic if the roastery wanted to stay in business, Sprenger said.

“I do think that’s going to be something that will stick around,” Sprenger said. “People have learned to brew coffee at home, which means more whole-bean sales.”

Harmon added that the pandemic has made single-brew cups become even more important.

“Now with the single-serve pod, people can control exactly what they want to taste versus a bag of coffee,” Harmon said. “Once I sell you a bag

Getting past post-pandemic sorrow Dear Ask a Therapist I thought that I was finally feeling better emotionally GUEST and getting used to the new way things COLUMN work in the pandemic, but all of a sudden, I am feeling even more tired and crying at the drop of a hat. Why is this happening to me? What can I do to feel better?

expression misses the diversity of experience individuals in our community are still living. This can be seen in the very literal sense of grief: bereavement.

While the rate of infection has improved, our country recently exceeded 500,000 deaths associated with COVID-19. Many have lost one or multiple loved ones. Others experienced the virus themselves, mourning their health. And still yet, others mourn the loss of life as they knew it, compounded with emotional burnout from the stress of adapting to constant change.

Each one of these losses is valid.

Maren Corbly

Dear Feeling tired You are not alone. As we approach the anniversary of the onset of shutdowns due to COVID-19 in the United States in mid-March, a typically joyous springtime is understandably tainted with grief and loss.

While we often hear that we are “all in this together,” I recognize that this well-intended, yet trite

Constant drain Regardless of the source of our particular flavor of grief and upheaval, our body remembers the experience. To stay safe in times of danger, our body engages our fight, flight, or freeze response (a.k.a. our sympathetic nervous system). In

this state, we prioritize safety over general wellness. Our sympathetic nervous system is designed to respond in short, urgent need.

When the threat is constant, however, we become drained and no longer able to respond adaptively. As we see familiar cues, like the changing season, our bodies take notice and prepare for danger again, even when there if there is a considerably lower threat.

Just as our system for survival takes place in the body, so too can our healing.

Through movement to release the excess energy and through mindful awareness of the relative safety of the moment, we can communicate to our body that we will be okay, thus engaging our parasympathetic nervous system, which allows us to rest and digest.

And when things are just not okay, we can connect with others to see our feelings reflected in someone

else and share memories of how things used to be: speaking about the joys of a packed concert at Red Rocks or warmly reminiscing over big family meals in which you could physically pass the sweet potatoes.

One day we will return to these pleasures, but for now, I suggest that you connect with yourself and with each other to acknowledge how this anniversary impacts us all.

An adult orphan herself, Maren is passionate about connecting through grief and loss. When not thinking about life’s big questions, she can be found hiking among the trees or taking her cat, Jeff, a little too seriously.

For more than 30 years, spanning two Arvada sushi restaurant doubles as social landmark

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Editor’s Note: This is part one of a story about a landmark Arvada eatery and how it has dealt with the challenges of the pandemic. Part II will be published in next week’s edition.

In Arvada, there are few people who inspire the kind of jovial reception you’re likely to get by mentioning Yuri Chandonnet’s name.

Born in Sapporo, Japan in 1946, Chandonnet was abandoned by her father and sold to a restauranter by her mother at the age of 8. At an early age, she became well-versed in the ins and outs of running a restaurant; she cleaned pots and pans and made soup throughout her formative years until transitioning to serving and waiting tables in her teens.

She made her way to San Angelo, Texas, in 1969 at the age of 23 before settling in Colorado in 1980, working at Lafayette Florist and as a travel agent for a few years. But Chandonnet’s true passion remained in making delicious food and surrounding herself with people. In 1988, she opened Namiko’s Sushi Bar and Japanese Restaurant, named after

her then-13-year-old daughter.

“She started at an early age,” said Chandonnet’s daughter Namiko Eshima, who now owns and operates her eponymous restaurant. “Knowing all these things about the restaurants and how to work hard and how to work for what you want.”

Chandonnet passed away in 2017 at the age of 71, but her importance to the Arvada area resonates to this day. Namiko’s became a cultural hub for the local Japanese community, with Chandonnet stocking the restaurant’s waiting area with Japanese-language books and dutifully giving advice to recent immigrants — many of whom were Regis University students — on paying parking tickets and making rent. She frequently donated to the Simpson United Methodist Church in Arvada and contributing to the Denver Buddhist Temple’s picnics and festivals.

“She knew every single name of every single person that came in,” said Eshima. “Being in Arvada, because it was a close-knit community, we got to know kids.

“Kids would come in and over the years. They would get older and graduate high school and get married and then they’d have kids,” Eshima continued. “And they’d bring their kids here and it was like, `Oh, we’ve got to bring our new baby to meet Yuri because she’s going to be in her life forever.’ Everybody knew my mom.”

Eshima grew up in the restaurant

that bears her name, doing dishes and cleaning tables as a teen before taking over the front of the house and administrative duties in her 20s.

Just as her mom watched customers grow up over the years, the restaurant’s patrons saw Eshima start her own family and eventually take the reins from Chandonnet.

The familial element of Namiko’s is undeniable. A hallway just off the restaurant’s original dining section doubles as a memorial gallery to Chandonnet, adorned with photos of her early years in Japan and shots from the restaurant’s history.

In the latter set, Eshima often appears alongside her mother.

“Being lucky enough to work with my mom pretty much my entire adult life was a way for us not only to bond, but to be in our lives every day,” said Eshima. “We were very close — I learned everything I know from her.”

Eshima has carried on the tradition with her son Kunio, 14, who helps out at the restaurant much like she did at the same age.

“And then being able to teach my son from a very young age to be social and communicate with people,” said Eshima. “He was running around the restaurant, giving everybody high-fives and saying `Hello.’

It’s just nice to have the ability to have family with you during the day, where a lot of people didn’t have that when they were growing up.”

Everybody knows you The resulting atmosphere at Namiko’s is one of comforting familiarity. There is a feeling that everyone — patrons and staff alike — knows each other well and has for years in some cases.

Longtime patron Emma Curtis has been going to Namiko’s since the restaurant opened in 1988, often with her friend, the late Norma Gooden. Curtis and Gooden began going to Namiko’s during its first month of operation after Gooden saw the restaurant’s first banner go up.

In the early days, business was lean. So, Curtis and Gooden sat with Chandonnet and watched her prepare appetizers, giving the fledg-

ling restaurateur encouragement as she made the dishes. At the time, Chandonnet — always a perfectionist — was beginning to have doubts about the venture, as the restaurant struggled to gain a foothold.

Both Remax Relators, Curtis and Gooden began referring clients to Namiko’s, helping the restaurant build its customer base. Since Japanese restaurants are a rarity in Colorado, there was a fair measure of confusion regarding what kind of food Namiko’s served early on, with customers often asking for Chinese food.

A true entrepreneur, Chandonnet embraced the uniqueness of her position and added Chinese dishes to the menu for a time. She became known for going the extra mile with her customers, showing them how to use chopsticks and even installing a small floral boutique in the entryway of the restaurant when she found that there weren’t many florists in the area.

That ability to connect with customers has kept people like Curtis coming back to Namiko’s on a weekly basis for more than 30 years.

“We watched (Eshima) grow up and mature from a teenager into an excellent restaurateur,” said Curtis. “She has carried on in a manner that Yuri would be so pleased with. They are so conscientious, the kitchen is so clean, and the restaurant? It is so beautiful. The staff is so friendly and welcoming to everybody, and that fits because it’s become a social landmark.”

Bear Creek 3-point shooting downs Westminster

State reduces quarantine length for student-athletes

BY ADAM HOTHERSALL SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hoping to snap a two-game losing streak on March 1 against Bear Creek, Westminster’s basketball came out strong in the opening quarter before the Bears devastated the home team with the 3-point ball to eventually move on with a 63-40 win.

Exchanging blows in the first, Westy made its presence known early with an aggressive zone defense that forced turnovers and got the Wolves out in transition. The lead changed hands six times with three ties sprinkled throughout the frame.

Sparking the energy and scoring for Westminster, talented sophomore Armando Gomez led his team with six early points.

“Armando is definitely going to be a team leader,” Westminster coach Nick Ciancio said in an email after the game. “He made the most of what offseason we did have, which shows.

He leads by example. Currently, he is leading our team in points, assists, rebounds and steals. He has made more than three times as many trips to the free-throw line as anyone else on our team, so he plays aggressively.

But basketball is in his blood. His sister, Brooke, plays for the girls’ team here and is also playing really well.”

Despite just a three-point deficit to begin the second quarter, Bear Creek

Adams 12 School District Superintendent Chris Gdowski thinks a mandatory 14-day quarantine period for studentathletes who either test positive or are potentially exposed to coronavirus isn’t fair.

Two days later, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment decreased that period of time from 14 days to 10.

Those who are under quarantine should monitor for coronavirus symptoms for 14 days from the date of exposure, though.

Adams 12 spokeswoman Christina Dahmen said the rules change allowed 100 student-athletes to participate in girls swimming and girls and boys wrestling over the weekend.

“Of our 100 athletes impacted by the old quarantine guidelines, 55 of those athletes had reached or surpassed the 10-day mark, allowing them to return without a negative test under the new guidelines,” she said. “The remaining 45 athletes completed a BinaxNow rapid COVID test

this morning (March 5), and all received a negative test result.”

Before the change in rules, Gdowski said most of those student-athletes were asymptomatic.

Legacy High School had to cancel nine athletic contests, including its last five girls’ basketball games because of potential exposure. Westminster High School, part of which is in District 12, had played four boys’ basketball games through the first of this week.

Two basketball teams, one from Jefferson County, were taken off the floor a minute before their March 1 game because of potential exposure.

Three boys basketball teams in the neighboring Brighton school district saw their seasons end this week because of COVID protocols.

Gdowski sent a letter to the Colorado Department of Public Health outlining his concerns. His letter said guidance from the Centers for Disease Control said the chances of contracting the virus decrease to 4 percent after SEE QUARANTINE, P22

State wrestling New season, new pieces for spring football schedule announced

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

STAFF REPORT

AURORA — The Colorado High School Activities Association announced the schedule for next week’s state wrestling tournaments.

They will be at the Southwest Motor Events Center in Pueblo.

The girls’ tournament starts at 2 p.m. Thursday, March 11. The semifinals start at 3:45 p.m., and the finals, third- and fifth-place matches start at 6:30 p.m.

The boys’ tournament is split over two days, Friday and Saturday, March 12 and 13. Friday’s session is for 106- through 145-pounders, and Saturday’s includes the 152-pounders through the 285-pounders.

The schedule is the same for each .. quarterfinal round at 9 a.m., semifinals at 2:30 p.m. and the finals, third- and fifth-place matches start at 7:15 p.m.

“We’re excited to provide a state culminating event for student-athletes in Season B,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Adam Bright in a statement. “While we’re at a different venue, the tradition of the CHSAA state wrestling tournament continues.

Originally, CHSAA wanted to run a dual-only format.

“But with the tradition of wrestling being an individual and team competition, we fought hard to secure a variance that allows for a more traditional format with an expanded capacity,” Bright said.

CHSAA also said its variance to conduct the tournament will not allow fans to be in attendance. The events will be live-streamed.

The new spring football season in Colorado will look different in more ways than just the timing of the season.

Colorado High School Activities Association assistant commissioner Adam Bright outlined a few of the coronavirus-caused changes in a Zoom call with the state’s football coaches in early March. The sixgame season for teams that didn’t play in the fall begins the weekend of Thursday, March 18.

In some cases, seven officials may be working games this spring.

“It’s a time for them to experiment with seven-man mechanics,” Bright said.

“We have a plethora of officials available and a limited number of games. It’s a time for us to experiment.”

During practice, oneon-one drills can last 20 minutes. Staff will have to sanitize and spray. Teams cannot use locker rooms as meeting places. Up to 10 to

12 players at a time can use locker rooms to change.

“You can use it as a changing room,” Bright told the football coaches. “It is not to be an area for team congregating.”

Teams may have to deal with inclement weather, more so than during the fall.

“Be smart for things like hypothermia and lightning strikes,” Bright said. “A lightning strike is more dangerous than COVID. In those cases, get your guys inside.

Use the social distancing practices you use in the building. Don’t reinvent the wheel. If the temperatures drop into the single digits, go inside and find a warm place.

“Hopefully, we don’t have a lot of that,” Bright continued. “I don’t want to jinx it.

But things should warm up as we move forward.”

Some things will carry over from the fall football season. The coin toss will be random and not done on the field. Cheerleaders and members of school bands can attend, but they have to be 25 feet from the field and 25 feet

from the bleachers. Rosters are set at 50 players. Teams can also have up to four student assistants (managers, trainers) on the sideline, plus two ball boys.

The team box on the sidelines will stretch between the 10-yard lines.

“I didn’t see a lot of teams doing this in the fall,” Bright said. “We want to keep the players spread out and not congregating in one place.”

Teams have to play four games of their allotted six to make the playoffs. One team, Ridgeview Academy, opted not to play.

To the matter of teams trying to hide behind quarantine protocols – 10-day minimum, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment -- to keep other teams from playing their fourth game, Bright said there was little he could do.

“We are going to trust that everyone is above board and does things the right way,” Bright said. “Those are the people who are not going to be high on my list if I need something done.”

charge, junior David Hutchcraft tallied a team-high five points while seniors Liam Franks and Jeremiah Nava each recorded four.

“We were able to come out with a high level of effort in the first quarter. We worked hard on the defensive end of the floor,” Ciancio said. “Bear Creek shot well, much better than their stats show.

We are coming off of a two-week quarantine, so our cardio needs a lot of work. But all credit to BC, they hit the shots.”

The momentum for the road team didn’t slow down to start the new half either, reaching a 54-29 lead going to fourth. Just six points from Westminster in the third hurt the chance for a comeback, and digging deep into the Bear Creek bench, it seems like everyone was contributing on this night.

seven days of quarantine and a 1.4 percent risk following a 10-day quarantine.

“Something I struggle with is that when students get into days 11 through 14 of the quarantine, the chance of them getting COVID is 0.1 of 1 percent,” Gdowski said during a Zoom call on March 2. “Many other districts face the same challenge.”

“Lack of a uniform quarantine period has been problematic to operationalize for our schools and their students,” said Dr. John Douglas, executive director of the Tri-County Health Department March 2. “Although athletic events do create greater potential for transmission and outbreaks, we think that the idea of using pre-event rapid testing out to 14 days following an initial seven- to 10-day quarantine period can re-

players for Westy found the scoresheet, but as mentioned, the 3-point line is where this game was separated. Making 15 on the night, Bear Creek only allowed two from the Wolves.

“Really we just need more gym time. Due to COVID, our program has not had three straight weeks of practice since March 2020,” Ciancio said. “We were out of the gym completely from September to January and had a two-week quarantine midseason.”

Gomez lead the way for Westminster with 16 points and two steals. Following him, sophomore Logan Kokai recorded a team-high six rebounds and two assists. Bear Creek’s leading scorers, Franks and Hutchcraft, tallied 15 and 14 points, respectively, while senior Adrian Valenzuela led his group with seven rebounds. Hutchcraft also led the team with six assists.

To end the season, Westminster defeated Adams City the following night 49-47 before taking down Northglenn, 44-37. The back-toback wins moved the Wolves to a 4-4 record.

duce risk sufficiently to make this proposal a practical compromise.”

Gdowski received a letter earlier this week from CDPHE which continued the 14-day quarantine period. But, according to Gdowski, “it didn’t offer a reason why.”

“Kids aren’t wearing masks during wrestling competitions.

Kids aren’t staying 6 feet apart, or 3 feet, which is more common,” Gdowski said. “The likelihood of a positive COVID transmission is between 4 percent and 0.1 of 1 percent. Masks are more compelling in the early days. But given the absence of positive tests in the 11- to 14-day window, the extension (from the CDPHE) is unnecessary.”

Gdowski said Adams 12 isn’t the only district that’s dealing with this issue.

“CDPHE reiterated the same stand without giving a reason,” he said. “A number of districts are concerned. They are frustrated.

They want their athletes to participate.”
