Roundtable targets airport noise Local cities invited to join Rocky Mountain Municipal Airport discussion group

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A group of six northwest metro Denver cities and Jefferson County will begin discussing ways to manage airplane takeoff and landing noise in 2021.

It’s part of a Rocky Mountain Municipal Airport’s Community Noise Roundtable, expected to begin meeting in 2021. Ben Miller, senior planner for the airport, said the cities of Arvada, Broomfield, Louisville, Superior and Westminster have all been invited to name members to the roundtable. Westminster City Councilors agreed Oct. 19 to name City Councilor Kathryn Skulley to the roundtable.

“I actually live in the flight line, so I sympathize with residents,” Skulley said. “I’m hearing a lot of extra

planes, most I’ve attributed to the fires. I know we have a lot of planes taking off and leaving all day long to help put out the fires and I’m grateful for that and the people that do that work. But certainly, in the last couple of years, we’ve seen an increase in noise. It will feel good to have someone from our city who can be a part of this roundtable and this conversation.”

Advisory only Councilors noted the group could only advise and suggest flight pattern changes and Miller said that is true.

The Federal Aviation Administration is the final authority on anything that happens at the airport involving flight paths or operations. But Miller said they make accommodations to airport neighbors.

“They have jurisdiction over the airspace and they are the owners of that responsibility,” Miller said.

“They have however, made it clear that requested changes to airspace patterns or flight procedures can’t come from any one community or from an airport, un-vetted without

a good public process. So the FAA sees a noise roundtable, with every surrounding community participating, as the only venue with which they would consider flight procedure changes to address concerns about noise.”

Miller said the airport encourages pilots to keep aircraft noise as low as possible, directing them to fly over road and open spaces when possible and reduce engine RPM when they can. The group would discuss other potential changes — including altering flight plans — and make recommendations to the FAA. “What you don’t want to have happen is to have one community say they want more aircraft over another community,” he said. “They want a well-vetted opinion from all the surrounding communities before they consider it.”

Landing patterns But Miller said the airport’s landing patterns are set by the airports runways, two that run from the SEE AIRPORT, P6

Adams 12 middle and high school students will stay home for the rest of the current semester, relying on remote learning to keep up with their classes.

The Adams 12 Board of Education voiced their frustration Oct. 21 with the district’s hybrid model of education that began the year — with students spending part of the week in smaller classes and part of it online — but said ultimately their hands were tied because of concerns the current COVID-19 spike, especially in Adams County.

“At this level of transmission, we are in a danger zone and this is concerning,” Board Chair Kathy Plomer said. “If we move to Stay at Home Level, then things get shut down.”

Colorado’s Stay at Home Level, which begins when a county has a two-week cumulative incident rate higher than 350, would require all classes to be remote. But Plomer noted it has other impacts that affect the rest of the community. The Stay at Home Level would ban personal gatherings, require church services be remote or virtual, close in-restaurant dining, most businesses, offices, bars and gymnasiums and all but curbside shopping pick-ups and deliveries.

As of Oct. 21, Adams County had a cumulative rate of 423 cases.

“If we want to get back to in-person learning, we have to make some pretty big behavior changes,” she SEE SCHOOLS, P5

Developers offer update on Uplands plan

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Developers of the proposed 235 acre Uplands project in Westminster detailed view corridors, parks and a community garden in an Oct. 21 virtual meeting.

Project lead Jeff Handlin of Oread Capital said the project has four basic goals, to share view corridors, connect different parts of Westminster, create spaces for everyone to enjoy and make the place a home.

“And what we mean by that is to create a home for everybody, all types,” Handlin said. “Not just for those in apartments or those in single-family homes. But underlying everything is that we’ve built this on principles of building healthy places.”

It’s the third virtual meeting the group has hosted since a City Council vote in February. Councilors approved planning designations for three smaller parcels on the project. The developers hosted a general project update in July and a virtual meeting Sept. 1 for residents living on Observatory Hill, the area southeast of 84th and Lowell.

Marcus Pachner, the outreach representative for Oread Capital, said the project has changed based on that meeting, especially the tree grove area at the intersection of Lowell Boulevard and Bradburn.

“A lot of the comments and questions we’ve heard have been focused on what I call the sunset viewing area,” Pachner said. “Before we did not have that as public land or a park. Now that entire hill, all the way downhill including the grove, is public land.”

Design charrettes slated They have scheduled a design roundtable discussion — called a charrette — from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Nov. 14. A second design charrette is scheduled from 6-7:30 p.m. Nov. 18, the following Wednesday. Both are being hosted on the Zoom virtual meeting platform and require pre-registration at https://uplandscolorado.com/newsevents/ online.

Oread Capital hopes to build 2,350 dwelling units on 235 acres surrounding Westminster’s iconic castle, the Pillar of Fire church. Oread’s plan calls for converting the large open space surrounding the church into Uplands, a massive mixed-use development, with housing options ranging from single-family homes to apartments and townhomes as well as parks and commercial areas.

The developers have an option to purchase 235 acres around Shaw Heights. The developers hope to build on the farmland between 84th and 88th avenues and Federal and Lowell Boulevards as well as parcels east of Federal and on both sides of Bradburn Drive west of Lowell — all land currently owned by the Pillar of Fire Church.

The project would take several years to complete, ultimately having room for 2,350 dwelling units in a mix of housing types. It would ultimately have to be approved by the Westminster City Council.

Bonnie Niziolek of Norris Design, principal planner for the project, said a preliminary development plan for the entire project is being reviewed by Westminster City Staff and she and her team are working on an official development plan for Parcel A, the

It’s currently defined as a site for traditional mixed-use neighborhood development in the Westminster Comp Plan, which allows up to 18 dwellings per acre and a commercial site. It allows apartments, condos, townhomes and single-family residences.

The developer’s plans call for less dense development on the site, up to 1531 dwellings on the lot over 150 acres and 30,000 square feet of commercial uses. It also calls for new roads crisscrossing the site.

Niziolek said the developers plan to create 35 acres of public land and parks that would be donated to the City of Westminster, as well as numerous smaller “Uplands parks“ that would be owned and maintain by the community itself.

“Again, we’d love to see your feedback on things we’d like to see in these parks,” she said.

So far, City Councilors have been open to learning about the project, voting in February to change the comprehensive plan designation for three of the smaller parcels on the project.

That included a vacant parcel west of Lowell Boulevard on either side of Bradburn Drive labeled “Parcel B“.

The current zoning there allows 3.5 housing units per acre. The zoning

request would allow five.

The developers also hope to change the zoning on a vacant parcel east of Federal Boulevard and south of 84th from office to allow up to eight housing units per acre. They would also designate a one-acre parcel at 88th and Zuni to make it open space. It’s currently zoned for office uses.

A new 11-acre park will be included on Parcel A, as well, she said. She also demonstrated plans for Parcel B, the lot on either side of Bradburn Drive west of Lowell Boulevard, which includes more parks and undeveloped view corridors.

Community Garden The group offered more information about their new non-profit group, called the Uplands Community Collective, that will focus on four areas: Food and agriculture, workforce development, small business and civic engagement. Eric Kornacki, director of the effort, said that one of the pocket parks, a five acre-lot called The Pantry east of Federal Boulevard and south of 86th, would host a community garden for residents as well as a potting area and a pollinator garden.

“We want the residents to be involved as well as the kids in the area involved in cooking and growing food,” Kornacki said.

Tri-County extends mask order

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tri-County Health Department will extend its public health order requiring mask-wearing in public spaces “for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the agency has announced.

The order on mask-wearing initially took effect July 24 and requires masks in indoor public spaces. It also requires them in outdoor spaces whenever 6-foot distancing from those who are not members of a person’s household cannot be maintained. Tri-County is the local health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

In addition, Adams County moved from Safer at Home level 2 to level 3.

Adams County’s two-week cumulative incidence of COVID-19 was listed as 490 per 100,000 residents. Level 3 means that gatherings are limited to no more than 10 people from two or fewer households and limits attendance at restaurants, personal service shops, retailers and worship services to no more than 25 percent of occupancy.

The extended order will last until the pandemic ends in Tri-County’s area or until Tri-County possibly amends or cancels it for other reasons.

“This approach is consistent with the one taken by many counties and municipalities in the Denver metro area,” John Douglas, the health agency’s executive director, said in the release. “As we enter our ‘third wave,’ we believe this is the best course of

WHO OPTED OUT OF TRI-COUNTY’S MASK ORDER? The following cities, towns and county areas opted out of Tri-County Health Department’s order requiring mask-wearing: • Town of Bennet • City of Brighton • City of Castle Pines • Town of Castle Rock • Town of Columbine Valley • Town of Deer Trail • City of Glendale • Town of Parker • Douglas County (Only areas outside of a municipality — unincorporated areas — were opted out) • Arapahoe County (Unincorporated areas east of Watkins Road all the way to

the eastern county line — generally east of Aurora — were opted out) If a municipality or county opted out in July, they remain opted out of Tri-County’s extended order, but Gov. Jared Polis’ statewide mask order still applies in those areas.

Colorado requires masks for all “outdoor events” under the state’s safer-at-home order, so individuals in cities and counties that opted out of Tri-County’s order must still wear a mask outdoors when attending such events.

action since masks remain one of our most important tools in the fight against the spread of COVID-19 and will likely be needed until effective vaccines are widely available and utilized.”

If a municipality or county opted out in July, they remain opted out of the extended order, according to the news release, but Gov. Jared Polis’ statewide mask order still applies in those areas.

Colorado requires masks for all “outdoor events” under the state’s safer-at-home order, according to a Tri-County fact sheet. Individuals in cities and counties that opted out of Tri-County’s order must still wear a mask outdoors when attending such events, according to the sheet.

Comparison.

“Any municipality or county that opted-out of (Tri-County)’s order can always opt back in as a means to help contain the spread of the virus,” TriCounty said in the news release.

How orders compare To avoid confusion, Tri-County amended its mask order in July to mostly align with the statewide mask order that took effect July 16. TriCounty’s order, like the governor’s order, requires people to wear masks in public indoor spaces.

The difference between the TriCounty and state orders is still the duration — Tri-County’s mask order initially lasted 90 days rather than the state’s 30 days. The state’s order has been renewed monthly.

Tri-County’s order also continues to require masks outdoors when so-

cial distancing cannot be maintained, said Douglas, the health chief. That’s the other key difference from the state’s order.

Tri-County’s order aligns with the governor’s order on all aspects aside from the duration and the outdoor requirement. That includes exempting children 10 and younger from wearing a mask.

Tri-County will continue to monitor the science and data pertaining to mask-wearing and its impact on the pandemic and will adjust the order as needed, the release said.

Agency responds as cases spike New social distancing restrictions for Adams and Arapahoe counties, announced on Oct. 16, marked the first public health orders Tri-County Health Department had issued regarding COVID-19 since its order on mask-wearing in July.

Tri-County issued the new orders for those two counties in an attempt to slow the spread in Adams and Arapahoe and keep them from moving to even more restrictions under the state’s safer-at-home order, which would mean reduced capacity for businesses, places of worship and gatherings. If virus spread in a county becomes dire enough, it could ultimately be placed under a stay-athome order like the ones in effect last spring.

Since early September, Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties saw their first notably sustained increases in rates of new COVID-19 cases since July, according to Tri-County data.

A NEW LEARNING PLAN Adams 12 School’s new COVID-19 Learning plan • Students in grades 6-12 began synchronous remote instruction Oct. 26 and will continue through Dec. 17, the end of the semester.

• Pre-school and elementary students will continue in-person instruction.

• In-person learning may also be offered to special needs students and English Language Learners.

• Career and technical students at Bollman Tech and Washington Square will also receive in-person learning.

• Pre-school and elementary school students can be provided school transportation, as can specials English Language Learners and career and technical students.

• Elementary students will receive inschool meals. Middle and high school students can get free meals at drive-through sites at Adams 12´s high schools.

• High school student-athletes and those other extracurricular activities can continue, per state and local health orders.

• Club activities for middle and elementary school students will be provided virtually.

• Board of Education will consider a new model for the next semester, beginning Jan. 5, at the Nov. 18 meeting.

said. “We have professional football leagues canceling games. Places are shutting down across the world, so it’s not us making a big deal about it. It’s public health in general.”

The board voted unanimously to move students in grades six through 12 to remote learning for the duration of the current semester.

Superintendent Chris Gdowski unveiled the plan on Oct. 19. It offers different learning plans for younger and older students, letting pre-school, kindergarten and elementary schools continue in-person learning for their students while requiring those in grades six and higher to learn from home.

“One of the things I know, wearing my parent hat, and one of the things I see communicated to me in my superintendent role, is the need for consistency and predictability among our students, parents and staff,” GDowski said. “Riding the roller coaster has become quite tiresome for all of those groups. Given what we have predicted about the spread of the virus following Thanksgiving we believe the most prudent path forward is to stay the course through remote learning through the conclusion of the semester.”

Middle and high school students, called secondary students in district memos, relied on asynchronous learning for classes on Oct. 22 and 23.

That involves students logging on for pre-recorded and assignments according to their own schedules. Live synchronous classes with their teachers were scheduled to begin on Oct. 26

and those students would continue in remote learning through Dec. 17.

The Board of Education is currently scheduled to discuss a plan for the next semester at their Nov. 18 meeting. The next semester is scheduled to begin Jan. 4.

Quarantine roller coaster Gdowski said the school district began using the hybrid model on Oct. 8. A portion of students opted for fulltime remote learning, the rest went to school a few days a week and used virtual tools the other days. Most of the classes have been live, with teachers working with students online or in

person, with saved content like documents and pre-recorded lectures, that some students will be able to access.

The hybrid model made classes difficult for the teachers, he said.

“You have your Monday-Tuesday cohort in front of you for in-person learning and your Thursday-Friday group in asynchronous classes and maybe a remote class you are doing fully or in a hybrid space,” Gdowski said. “You might have students that selected remote learning for Spanish 4 and the only way to do that is to live stream it and do something remote.”

Despite those precautions, there have been numerous outbreaks, re-

quiring those students as well as students and teachers they had contact with to move into a two-week quarantine and full-time remote learning. As of Oct. 18, the district had 59 cases of COVID-19 which led to 891 students and 142 staff in quarantine. The number of cases had increased to 83

by Oct. 21, including a case at Legacy High School that sent 65 students into quarantine.

Busy summer for Rocky Mountain air tankers Forest Service aircraft key in battling wildland blazes

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With an unprecedented number of wildland forest fires in Colorado and the bulk of the Western states this summer, the air tankers at Rocky Mountain Municipal Airport have been especially busy.

“They’ve been based here all summer, but it really took off in August,” Airport Senior Planner Ben Miller said. “They were fighting fires in Glennwood, the fire in Centennial and Jeffco, briefly.

But they’ve been treating the Cameron Peak fire and this week, they’ve been supporting the Calwood, the Lefthand, the Cameron Peak and the East Troublesome fires.”

Smoke from the fires in Boulder County rise up over the mountains and an orange-and-white slurry tanker airplane Oct. 21 at the Rocky Mountain Municipal Airport.

northwest to the southeast and a shorter runway that runs from the northeast to the southwest. Weather, especially local wind, also determines which directions the planes use for

at the airport, is a key tool in fighting forest fires.

“The forest service contracts with a couple of different companies to provide the planes and do the drops,” Miller said. “They operate what the Forest Service con-

takeoffs and landings.

“Aircraft take off and land into the wind, and our prevailing wind is from the west,” Miller said. “The mountains also have an impact and the other big factor is the airspace of Denver International Airport. And all of that comes into form the national airspace.”

The airport has been in opera-

siders the medium to large air tankers.”

The largest air tankers, such as DC 10 aircraft, fly out of Forest Service bases in southern Colorado and Wyoming. The forest service keeps a variety of aircraft types at the Broomfield airport, ranging from helicopters to small single engine tankers up to heavy airtankers and lead planes that scout out the the fires.

“But around here, people consider the aircraft pretty big,” he said. “We have MD87s and BAe-146, former commercial aircraft.”

Both the BAe-146 — made by British Aerospace Systems — and the McDonnell Douglas MD-87s can carry up to 3,000 gallons of the retardent.

“They have flown 125 missions in a week, since Oct. 13,” Miller said.

The airtanker base was established at the Broomfield airport in 1983, one of three permanent bases in Colorado,

The two others are based in Grand Junction and Durango.

A fourth permanent base is located in Rapid City, South Dakota and two refill bases are located at airports in Pueblo and Casper, Wyoming.

The base at RMMA includes retardant storage tanks, filling facilities, offices as well as quarters for the pilots.

Miller said the powdered fire retardent is stored at the airport dry and mixed with local water. The airport has the capacity to mix 190,000 gallons of the retardant at a time.

They generally try to take off towards the east, Miller said.

“If the wind is more than a couple of miles per hour, they will start routing so they are taking off into the wind,” he said. “That’s important for all aircraft, but particularly for a very heavily loaded air tanker. They are using a lot of our runway to take off, so they need all the help from the wind that they can get.”

tion since 1960, and had its busiest year in 1977 with 248,351 operations, defined as an aircraft taking off or landing at the airport facilities. The airport has had its ups and downs with the local economy, going between 120,000 and 195,000 operations per year since 1979.

Airport operations began recovering from a five year lag in 2014 and the airport has gotten busier each year since then, with 195,762 operations in 2019. It’s currently the fourth busiest airport in the state, with more than 400 aircraft based there and about 50 businesses using it as a base.

It’s listed as reliever for Denver International Airport, which means that smaller commercial crafts are directed to the Broomfield runways rather than DIA. “They do not want to be handling as much general aviation traffic amongst

the commercial jets they have landing there,” Miller said. “We, Centennial and Front Range act as those airports.

If someone is flying into Denver on a business jet or a small propeller aircraft, they typically choose one of our airports.”

The communities around the airport have grown much faster than it has, Miller said. Population in the surrounding cities — Arvada, Broomfield, Louisville, Superior and Westminster — say a 68 percent increase since 1970, from 79,197 to 338,806 in 2019.

“If you look at this area as a snapshot of time, we have grown about 35 percent in operations while the surrounding community has grown 68 percent,” Miller said. “We will do the best we can to help them address noise complaints. We certainly want to be friendly with the community.”

SCHOOLS

however, stay in the same classroom with the same students and teachers throughout the day, limiting the number of infections students with COVID-19 could spread.

“A student that becomes positive because of participating in football or basketball does not disrupt the learning process the teacher has planned the way it would under in-person learning,” he said. “These students are already in remote learning and are healthy to continue learning in a remote fashion. At the elementary level, we are trying to minimize the number of contacts a cohort has. If you’ve worked hard all day to keep 20 kids in Ms. Susies’s third-grade class safe, then you have Spanish club on Monday and a Robotics club Tuesday and a Music club Wednesday, it crosses into so many areas.”

The board heard comments from many parents and students asking to keep the students in schools.

But Board of Education members said the current status and the apparent spread of the disease override what they want to do.

“The bottom line here is, it’s not up to the kids,” Board Member Brian Batz said. “It’s not up to the schools.

It’s up to all the adults to change our practices so we can go back to seminormalcy.”

“It’s a daily occurrence where we have more and more quarantines every day,” Gdowski said. “Now you have a fourth complication with the Hybrid model, some number of students now in quarantine status. The feedback we’ve received is that they are not able to provide the quality instruction and meet the needs of students in those four different places.”

Different models High school activities and athletics would continue, per state and county health orders while middle and elementary school clubs would be virtual.

“The why behind doing that comes down to this quarantine impact,” he said.

Gdowski noted that middle and high school students move between classrooms throughout the day. An infected student would contact a group of students at one class in the morning, then several different groups as the day progresses, potentially infecting many more.

Suburban women are key in 2020 political races Demographic has shifted between parties in past elections

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Cathy Lees, a stay-at-home mom in Highlands Ranch, is picking candidates this year based on her values, and that includes how they treat people. She’s been put off for four years by President Donald Trump’s language and demeanor.

“I have a 14-year-old daughter, and I would never want her to put up with someone speaking to her like he speaks to women,” she said. “Nor would I want my 16-year-old son speaking to anyone the way he speaks to people.”

In Grand Junction, Rose Pugliese is voting with her two children in mind, too. But two of her biggest concerns are the economy and law and order.

“Grand Junction hasn’t had quite the protests or the riots, but we are still watching it as moms and we want to make sure that it doesn’t come here,” said Pugliese, a Republican Mesa County commissioner who lives on the outskirts of Grand Junction.

“We want to be prepared if it does.”

The two suburban women are a target demographic for candidates from the top of the ticket down to the local contests, and the way candidates try to sway them is often through concern for their kids. That’s nothing new. But while their top worries in past years were school shootings, gun laws and foreign terrorism, in the 2020 elec-

tion candidates are trying to woo the women by talking about COVID-19 and public safety in the wake of sometimes violent protests.

One campaign flier mailed to women from the Colorado Republican Party features a picture of a woman with scrunched eyebrows and a worried expression and it says former Vice President Joe Biden will cut funding to police, though Biden has said repeatedly that he would not defund the police if he is elected. “The Democrats have moved way too far to the left and that worries me,” the mailer says. “We can’t risk our children’s future with Joe Biden.”

The Colorado Democratic Party, meanwhile, called out U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner with a mailer on abortion rights. “Cory Gardner supports criminalizing abortion and putting doctors in jail for up to five years,” it says, referring to a failed Senate vote. “Four years of medical school. Five years in jail.” The mailer refers to 2018, when Gardner voted in favor of opening debate on a proposal to ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The suburban-women vote — also known as the middle-class, whitewomen vote — is a target because it’s traditionally a persuadable group that can swing between party affiliations.

And this election cycle, the suburbs are more racially diverse than they were four years ago.

In 2016, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton barely won the suburban-women vote, according to Pew Research Center. And research shows that the portion of women identifying with the Democratic Party has increased significantly since Trump’s election.

In general, more women vote than men. In the last presidential election, 63% of eligible women voted, compared with 59% of men, according to Pew. Trump made it clear during a rally in Pennsylvania last week just how much he needs their support. “Suburban women, will you please like me? I saved your damn neighborhood, OK?” he said in front of a cheering crowd.

“We saved suburbia.”

So far the message is not resonating in Colorado. Two polls in recent months showed a substantial gap in the women’s vote for president, with Biden receiving 58% support and Trump at 36% or less.

The gap is even more pronounced

among suburban women — upwards of 36 points more support for Biden than Trump, according to a survey conducted recently by Keating Research, a Democratic firm that is one of the state’s leading pollsters.

And Rick Ridder, a veteran Colorado pollster, said a survey he released recently showed Biden with a major advantage in Colorado — one built on the women’s vote. For women under age 50, he said, Biden gets 69% support and Trump 25%. “That’s a stunning number,” Ridder said. “This is one of the most amazing polls I’ve ever done. These people have made up their minds.”

Health insurance rates in Colorado hold steady Numbers barely budge amid uncertainty linked to pandemic

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Amid a historic public health crisis, something curious has happened with health insurance prices: Nothing.

When state officials this month unveiled the approved rates for next year’s health insurance plans, they announced the smallest change in years. Average prices for plans in the individual market — where people shop for insurance if they don’t get coverage through an employer — are set to decline by 1.4%. Average prices in the small-group market — where small employers buy plans for their workers — are set to rise by 3.8%.

Given that prices in both of these markets were increasing annually by double-digit percentages not long ago, the non-news of next year’s rates comes as welcome news for consumers. But it also raises a question. Why hasn’t the coronavirus pandemic — and all the costly medical care that can go along with it — led to higher insurance prices?

The answer can be found in dozens of pages of regulatory filings that insurance companies submitted to the state when seeking approval for next year’s rates. The upshot is that health insurers seem to be as unsure as the rest of us about what next year will look like.

Some companies project a modest

increase in the amount of medical care they will have to cover due to coronavirus — on the order of 1% or so. Others think people will continue to avoid seeking treatment for nonurgent conditions, resulting in lower expenses. And some companies openly say they don’t know and don’t want to guess.

“It kind of nets out once you look at the savings that came from this year and you try to forecast that forward,” said Michael Conway, Colorado’s insurance commissioner.

Nationwide trend What’s happening with health insurance prices in Colorado matches what’s happening nationwide. When the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health-research organization,

looked at filings across the country, it found an average 1.1% increase in prices for individual market plans next year. Digging deeper, the organization found that COVID-19 had an average 0% impact on next year’s prices.

“The term `uncertainty’ came up a lot,” said Nisha Kurani, a senior policy analyst at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Part of that uncertainty is trying to figure out how much medical care unrelated to coronavirus people are going to need next year. When the pandemic hit this spring, hospital and doctor’s office visits for elective and non-urgent medical care plummeted.

Even people potentially experiencing heart attacks stopped showing up at hospitals — possibly leading to an increase in cardiac arrests at home.

Michael Kleinrock, a research director at the health care analytics company IQVIA, said hospital patient volume nationwide has rebounded after steep drops earlier this year.

Overall for the year, the system is seeing about 20% less utilization than expected pre-pandemic. Patient volume is close to normal but not enough to make up for all those missed visits earlier in the year.

“The system appears to be learning how to walk and chew gum, learning how to manage COVID in this environment and still deliver necessary health care for other people. Which is positive,” he said. “But there’s still that lingering issue of the where-didthey-go people.”

Colorado hospitals have also seen a rebound in patient visits, but not enough to make up for earlier losses.

Julie Lonborg, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Hospital Association, said inpatient discharges are down 12% for the year and emergency room visits are down around 25%.

Hospitals expect that lower volume to persist through the end of the year and much of next year, far longer than what the hospital association thought when the pandemic first hit the state.

“We all thought at the time, `Oh gosh, surely by October life will be a little back toward normal,’” she said.

“I think we all recognize now that that is not the case and will continue not to be the case for some time.”

The certainty of `uncertainty’ But there are also other factors that make it complicated to project how coronavirus will impact medical costs next year. How much will the virus spread? Will there be a safe and effective vaccine and when will it be ready? Will new treatments be approved and how much will they cost?

Will the election mean a change in the

White House and a different approach to fighting the virus? Will pandemicrelated job losses cause more people to buy coverage in the individual market — or drop coverage altogether?

“We note,” the Denver Health Medical Plan wrote in a filing with the state, “that there is substantial uncertainty regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on premium rate development, including whether the pandemic will increase or decrease costs in 2021.”

Some of the information that companies provided to the state is redacted to protect business confidentiality, and it is possible that the insurers were more candid with their assessments of the pandemic in those sections. But, just like the Kaiser Family Foundation saw nationally, the word “uncertainty” keeps popping up in insurers’ public filings.

“Due to the limited information available on the pandemic,” the insurance company Oscar wrote in an actuarial memo filed with the state, “any analysis is subject to a substantially greater than usual level of uncertainty.”

Regulatory limitations There’s also one other coronavirusrelated reason that rates will stay relatively flat next year, and it involves regulatory muscle.

When insurers filed their preliminary rates earlier this summer, they asked the state to approve an average 2.2% increase for the individual market and 5.7% increase for the small group market. But the state Division of Insurance, led by Conway, knocked those rates back before final approval.

When coming up with proposed rates, insurers have to make calculated guesses on how much certain components of health care costs will increase or decrease in the coming year. For instance, insurers will estimate how much rising prices or how much frequency of health care utilization will impact their costs. This is called “trend” in regulatory parlance.

One reason regulators knocked next year’s proposed rates down is that the state imposed a cap on how much of an increase insurers could predict for health care utilization — setting the amount at no more than 1%. Conway said that was done because the state last year approved projected utilization increases that were way higher than what insurers have actually seen, because of the pandemic. That meant rates were likely set higher than ultimately needed last year, which could lead insurers to having to refund money to customers in the coming years.

“It just really hadn’t come to fruition, the increase we had approved last year,” Conway said. “So we didn’t think it would be appropriate to grant a typical utilization trend.”

Amanda Massey, the executive director of the Colorado Association of Health Plans, an insurance industry trade group, said the Division of Insurance also limited how other coronavirus-related costs could be factored into the 2021 rates. She said it’s important that the long-term costs of coronavirus be fully accounted for.

Not doing so, she said, “could have serious consequences for health insurance premiums in the future if not accurately reflected in rates.”

A season of discontent: Political unrest grows in Westminster CROSS CURRENTS

Bill Christopher

P

olitical unrest is a national past time in America these days.

Starting at the macro level, Westminster is a sliver of the national uproar and rhetoric regarding both the presidential and Colorado U.S. senatorial races. Throw in racial unrest, unemployment, the COVID19 impacts and the mask issue and you have a full dose of national turmoil and distress.

The races at the state and county levels seem pretty clear without the same chaos with Democrats garnering even more support than the 2018 elections. Then we come to the local communities.

Remember the old saying of “when it rains; it pours?” Well, the Westminster city government seems to be an example of this expression. Mistrust among citizens on different issues seems to be expanding, just like COVID-19 has spread in Adams County. The consternation with the spike in new cases could produce stay-at-home orders yet this fall if we don’t watch it. With virus-fatigue at play, no one is eager to even think about selfquarantine.

actions or inactions taken by the city government’s council and city manager.

Let’s start with the obvious. The huge water rate increases approved in October 2018 really hit home this summer and has led to the recall petition drive targeting Herb Atchison, Anita Seitz, Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz.

This effort has divided the community which is unfortunate, but not unexpected.

Some say that appointed council member Jon Voelz has unfairly been included. However, remember earlier this year, he and the other three being targeted had the distinct opportunity to roll back the 2020 water rate increase to give utility customers some relief. He and the other three turned a cold shoulder to this idea raised by Council member Seymour and supported by Council members DeMott and Smith.

The recall petition process comes to an end on October 31. Then the City Clerk’s Office will determine if there are sufficient valid signatures for a special election. If there are, then candidates will need to run against those up for recall. If not, the attempted recall fails.

Water rate hikes are a major stressor Turning to the microfocus of political unrest, the root cause of some of the different issues in Westminster are generated from

an outpouring of dissent and an expression of “no confidence” in Don Tripp from a group of citizens. A vote on his four year contract and $304,00 annual salary will have likely been at the October 26 City Council meeting. Tripp is already the highest-paid city manager in Colorado.

Clearly, one of the issues with his continued employment is a lack of trust, an unwillingness to modify previous decisions and his undue influence of the mayor and three of the City Council over such issues as the utility rates, extensive high-density development, adequate water resources and weekly one-onone closed-door meetings with only a portion of the City Council.

It’s important to note that any salary increase approved now would cost the taxpayers if Tripp is terminated. He has a 12-month severance package in his employment contract.

“Dogs must be on a leash when off the owner’s property except when walking in a designated off-leash

Of course, regulations are restrictive, just like the ones about masks and social distancing.

With people dying left and right and riots and protests ongoing, an unleashed dog here and there doesn’t seem like much.

And maybe it isn’t as long as no one gets hurt.

Unless you’re the perpetrator or someone who’s immensely tolerant, it’s one more thing in a year of things.

That’s the subtitle of Lynn Truss’ book “Talk to the Hand.” It was published (2005) long before COVID-19; none of the six, therefore, is related.

Quoting from it would only depress me — and you too. I bought it knowing it would only deepen my existing grievances.

That’s called “confirmation bias.”

While it is reaffirming, it generally leads to a limited view of things.

Truss has a sense of humor, so her complaints about the “apparent collapse of civility” are both insightful and entertaining.

Unless you’re one of the perpetrators.

The thought of becoming a perpetrator myself has crossed my mind.

Why bother with respect and civility?

There’s a free range dachshund in the neighborhood. He’s a cute, skinny little guy.

Oriented toward action and focused on results

P

roactive or reactive. I did or did not. I can or cannot. I will or will not. When we look at those statements quickly, which words resonate with us personally? What I typically see is that people who connect with the words “proactive,” “I did,” “I can” and “I will” tend to be more action-oriented and results-focused.

There is no right or wrong answer here. Those of us who may have felt more comfortable with the words “reactive,” “I did not,” “I cannot” and “I will not” are sometimes less action-oriented and not as worried about the results. Some of us in this group are comfortable letting others take the actions necessary to achieve the results we are seeking.

One of the best lessons that I have learned that has impacted my personal life and my career has been to understand the difference between “Will” and “Skill.” In most cases, “Skill” can be something we acquire over time. Yet no matter how proficient we become at a certain “Skill”, if we do not have the “Will” to actually use the skill, we will al-

ways come up short when it comes to the achievement of our goals and dreams.

Action orientation begins with “Will.”

“Skill” without “Will” usually manifests itself with poor performance and low productivity. “Will” without Michael Norton “Skill” does not really help either. We would be left with awesome desire and a positive attitude, but no knowledge of what to do and how to get things done. When this happens, it could lead to inaction, which consequently compromises our results.

Over the years I have interviewed, hired, trained, managed and led hundreds of people. And I would say that more often than not, when a new hire didn’t work out, as I looked back at the reason why, it was because I hired based on perceived “Skill” instead of “Will.” If given a choice today, I would always hire for “Will” before “Skill” assuming that there

was the right onboarding and learning pathway to help develop the skills necessary for success.

As an example, when I interview people today, for any role or position in a company, I try and get to both “Skill” and “Will.” Skill shows up easily in resumes, on LinkedIn profiles, in certifications, and in reference checks. And the way I try and identify “Will’ is to ask questions like, “Tell me about a time where being proactive helped you in your previous position.” “Have you ever been in a situation where you had to make a decision to take action or choose not to take a specific action?” “Can you share a time where having a `can do’ attitude made a difference for you and the results that you achieved?”

This applies to our personal life as well. How many times have we looked back on a time in life where we said things such as, “I wish I had said …” or “I could have asked …” or “If only I had done …” This type of reflection usually occurs when we choose inaction over taking action.

Or when we were reacting instead of being proactive. And in our

“woulda,” “shoulda” and “coulda” moments, our regrets become real when we realized that we placed our desired results in the hands of someone else.

Here’s the thing, inaction and taking action are both a choice. We can sit back and hope that the outcome or result is something that we can accept or just live with. Or we can get in the game and be a part of the achievement and success that we have dreamed about.

So how about you? Are there any “woulda,” “shoulda” or “coulda” moments where you could have taken action to create a better outcome or result? Are you already someone who has the skill and is applying the will that leads to success? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we are actionoriented and results-focused, it really will be a better than good week.

this same property had been canceled earlier this year due to pending loose ends with HUD involving the city-owned property.

Now, the staff has re-triggered a public hearing which will be conducted virtually without people having the opportunity to be physically in front of the Planning Commission in the Council Chambers. Then, the same thing will occur with the City Council holding its virtual public hearing.

As numerous people previously stated, this is not a fair process. No public hearings should be held until City Hall is open to the public for public hearings. What’s the hurry in changing the zoning to allow more apartments? Why is the public’s voice being compromised?

As I said before, no public hearings should be conducted without the public being able to physically attend and participate. Otherwise, the process is flawed.

Status of “New Downtown” The issue of the new urban center, aka New Downtown at the former Westminster Mall site, remains a big question mark with citizens.

While the City Council decided in July to drop the language of being the “next urban center in Colorado” due to considerable opposition from citizens, the future status of the New Downtown and its high-density residential designation remains uncertain.

Staff and city council rejected a citizen’s budget request to redo and update the New Downtown land use plan. Some of us wonder if dropping the “urban center” designation was simply lip service and the majority of City Council and staff will continue to support more high-density apartment development and increased traffic generated at the subject site.

Again, trust is lacking. Coupled with the New Downtown, there is much basic concern with excessive apartment development in various locations. As per the 2020 Community Survey results, residents are tired of more and more high-density apart-

It has taken a lower level on the radar as the developer’s total preliminary development plan for the whole 230-acre site continues to stall at the Planning Staff level with red lines and conflicting changes produced by the city staff.

Some people in the adjacent area including unincorporated Shaw Heights have expressed their disdain for the proposed development of “The Farm” even though it would provide considerable home ownership.

Advisory question on wards/districts nixed for 2020 Finally, more citizens than what Mayor Atchison and Councilors Seitz, Skulley and Voelz would acknowledge had wanted an advisory question on the November 2020 ballot regarding exploring geographical representation of the City Council I.e. wards/ districts.

This was rejected on a 4-3 vote with Councilors DeMott, Seymour and Smith supporting the ballot measure.

A whole year was unnecessarily wasted by the majority to let citizens have their say on this important matter. Personal disdain for the concept of wards/districts played a role in the majority of the council saying “no” for 2020.

Puzzling as it may seem, the whole council committed to a 2021 ballot question.

Serious change is needed and needed now!

In summary, different Westminster citizens have different issues with members of City Council and Don Tripp over their decisions and how they are being treated. When you pull it all together, it’s a hot smoldering mess with decision-making and communications gone awry. New leadership and new representation

Thornton celebrates cultural art of Dia De Los Muertos

N

o matter what the holiday is, a common way for cultures and families to mark the occasion is through the arts — music, film and interactive options like pumpkin carving, tree decorating and even drawing or painting COMING ATTRACTIONS pictures.

For the 5th annual Day of the Dead/ Dia de los Muertos cultural celebration, Thornton’s Arts & Culture Division is tapping into that creative impulse for a virtual event aimed at bringing people of Clarke Reader all ages together.

Running from Sunday, Nov. 1 through Tuesday, Nov. 3, this year’s celebration offers a virtual and outdoor option at the Thornton Community Center, 2211 Eppinger Blvd.

Thanks to a partnership with Alt Ethos Experiential Design Studio, participants can download an app, create artistic designs on their devices and interact with other people’s creations.

From 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. each evening, participants will be able to see their artwork projected on these outdoor screens from their homes via a live webcam feed, according to provided information, or they can also use their smart devices onsite and view these screen images by foot or car.

“This is quite the experiment, but we know that many people engage celebrations through the arts, and we want to maintain that engagement,” explained Alisa Zimmerman, Arts & Culture manager. “There’s a lot of very vibrant art that is created as part of this holiday, so we thought this would be a great way to celebrate in a contactless way.”

The city’s Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos event has been gaining in popularity over the last four years, Zimmerman said. The organizers offer celebrations including performers and a food and gift market for people to explore. But most importantly, it was an opportunity for members of Thornton’s vibrant Hispanic and Mexican community to get together, which is why it was important the city still find a way to have a good time.

“We’re hoping that this year’s option will attract a large age group and will remind them to come back when we can get together again next year,” she said. “We want people to have an awareness of the culture and engage in a way that is unique for the holiday. And we hope this will be a meaningful distraction from everything going on right now.”

“Bikes are the new toilet paper,” Cameron said. “Bikes and parts are in super high demand right now.”

The pandemic kept the shop from holding one of its key events this year: driving refurbished bikes down to the Navajo Nation in the Four Corners region. The silver lining, she said, is that more elite cyclists donated a good number of high-end used bikes and parts in the spring and summer as they upgraded.

The program, among the older in the Denver area, operates on an allvolunteer basis, selling refurbished bikes to cover the cost of tools and rent. They work with local social services agencies to donate bikes to

Beer brewed with unique wood at Arvada brewery wins gold at Great American Beer Festival Brewer wins top honor for second straight year

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While visiting a brewery in Brazil a few years ago, Jason Buehler sampled a beer brewed in amburana wood for the first time.

“I had never heard of it before,” said Buehler, who is the head brewer for Denver Beer Co. “And the beer was incredible.”

When Buehler asked if amburana was available in the US, the beer’s brewer responded that he didn’t know but offered to instead give Buehler some amburana wood bark to take back.

Buehler did so and, soon after arriving in Colorado, brought that wood to Denver Beer Co.’s brewery in Olde Town Arvada where he toasted it and added it to the fermenter he then used to make a new Imperial Porter beer called Amburana Dream.

“We could tell we had something special because it tasted great,” said Buehler. “It didn’t particularly sell that great probably because people didn’t know what amburana was but the flavor was awesome.”

While Amburana Dream is not currently available at Denver Beer Co. — it will likely find a more receptive audience whenever it returns thanks to the Great American Beer Festival, which just awarded the beer the gold medal in its Wood- and Barrel-Aged Strong Beer category for the second straight year.

IF YOU GO Denver Beer Co.-Old Towne Arvada location 5768 Old Wadsworth Boulevard, Arvada 303-433-2739 Denverbeerco.com/locations Denver Beer Co.’s GABF 2020 winners Amburana Graham Cracker Porter-Silver medal in wood and barrel-aged beer category Poblano Pils (Cerveceria Colorado brand)-Silver medal in chili beer category Buehler said Amburana Dream coming out on top two years in a row was “pretty crazy,”— especially after the beer actually lost to another amburana beer when it was first entered at GABF three years ago.

But while Denver Beer Co., which also operates a brewery in Denver, has become no stranger to GABF recognition (with 14 awards, including two other awards at the festival this year for beers brewed at its Denver facilities), this year’s win had a different feel according to Buerhle said.

While the awards have usually been handed out in a packed auditorium, this year’s ceremony was held online.

Buerhle actually didn’t find out about the win until he got service while camping in the mountains.

As of now, the small quantity of Amburana Dream’s gold medalwinning batch that remains is being saved for future competitions and the brewery’s staff. However, Buerhle said it will be brewed again in the very near future. It could also face stiffer competition at future competitions as Amburana wood is now

Buerhle remains thankful for his first experience with amburana beer.

“After we won, it immediately made me think of the brewer in Brazil and

so I reached out to him and told him we won and thanked him for helping me because I never would have discovered this amburana had he not made a great beer with it,” he said.

ELECTION FROM PAGE 8

Seeking mothers’ votes In the 1990s, the target was socalled soccer moms — the suburban women hauling their kids and gear bags to practice, many of whom were persuaded to vote for former Democratic President Bill Clinton.

Security moms were the post-9/11 mothers concerned mainly about terrorism as they went to the polls and favored former Republican President George W. Bush.

More recently, in 2016, “Walmart moms” were defined as those with kids at home who shopped at Walmart at least once a month.

Now “rage moms” are the ones so fed up with racial injustice and Trump that they’ve joined the street protests. And then there are “Zoom moms,” the women bearing the brunt of the pandemic as they manage online work meetings alongside their children’s cyberlearning.

The buzz term this election cycle, though, is the more general: “suburban women.” It’s inclusive of women without children, and moms who aren’t soccer moms or, as former Republican presidential candidate Sarah Palin used to call them, hockey moms.

They’re all pretty much the same demographic.

“It’s a coded way to say middleand upper-class white women,” said Sara Chatfield, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Denver. “The way Trump has used this term has been very racialized: `You don’t want minorities moving into your neighbor-

hood and ruining them’ seems to be his underlying message.”

Research has shown that moms — more than women who are not moms — are more concerned about law and order, and more supportive of police, said Chatfield, who teaches a course on women and politics.

And while moms in the past several years have been concerned about gun laws and protecting kids from school shootings, 2020 has pushed other problems to the forefront. “They are more worried about whether their kids can go to school at all,” Chatfield said.

This is why Democrats are focusing much of their messaging on the pandemic and how they will get kids back in school, and why Republican candidates are amplifying the violence in the streets, including some of the Black Lives Matter protests across the country.

Abortion rights are on the line this year, too, as Colorado votes on a proposal to ban abortion after 22 weeks of gestation, without exception for a lethal fetal diagnosis or the health of the mother, and as the U.S. Senate decides whether to confirm a new U.S. Supreme Court justice to replace abortion rights advocate Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But contrary to assumptions, Chatfield said, the abortion divide in the United States is not based on a gender gap — it’s primarily a Democrat-Republican line.

Outgoing state Rep. Lori Saine, who is knocking doors in Weld County as she competes for a spot on the county commission, said the potential for violent protests is “the No. 1 concern I’ve heard at the door lately.”

Saine, a Republican, said she

keeps hearing from “women who are pretty afraid the riots are coming up here to their neighborhood.”

They are looking at local and national news footage and feeling anxious. Many are talking about getting trained to carry a gun, she said.

‘Law and order’ debate Pugliese, who has two kids ages 9 and 6, said the Mesa County women working to reelect Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner and elect 3rd Congressional District candidate Lauren Boebert are concerned about the riots and protests.

“Obviously, law and order,” she said. “They want to make sure their kids are safe when they drop them off at school.”

Her Western Slope community has a big “back-the-blue” effort to support law enforcement, and that matters to moms who see firefighters and police officers coming into schools to talk about safety, she said. As for the coronavirus pandemic, it’s a concern, but Pugliese doesn’t blame Trump.

“This pandemic was unprecedented and nobody was prepared for it,” she said. “People may not agree with how the president handled it.

There are people who don’t agree on how the governor handled it.”

The issues she hears women talk about most often, she said, are the economy and transportation because they drive their children to various activities across town.

“They want to make sure they can take care of their family,” she said.

Mary Dambman, president of the Republican Women of Broomfield, said COVID-19 is the latest fear tactic in politics. The mother and grandmother, and lifelong Republican, has been around long enough to see how candidates have used fear of war, terrorism, the county’s direction and now the pandemic to sway voters, she said.

“I think I share with everyone, no matter what her age, the economy is No. 1,” Dambman said. “You are concerned about the needs of the family. As you grow older, you think of your retirement. You hope that the cost of living doesn’t go crazy.”

“COVID is the fearmonger at the moment,” she added. “It will pass when we get a vaccine.”

But Lees, the Highlands Ranch mom, said she’s annoyed that conservative candidates, as she views it, are trying to use the protests around racial reckoning to evoke fear in women. “I’m not scared of violence in the streets,” she said.

“I’m not scared of it coming to the suburbs.

“They are not here to take away my stuff,” continued Lees, who has taken her children to some of the Black Lives Matter protests in Denver and Highlands Ranch. “They are protesting because they don’t have the same options that we do.”

And whether or not candidates are talking about it, Lees is still concerned about gun violence. “We haven’t been in school so there haven’t been any school shootings,” she said, noting that Americans typically talk gun politics in the wake of a mass shooting.

Darien Wilson, also a Highlands Ranch mom, first became involved in politics five years ago by working to replace Douglas County School Board members who enacted a now-repealed school voucher program. Then she signed up to help elect Democratic U.S. Rep. Jason Crow in 2018. And this year, she put her own name on the ballot, for Douglas County commissioner.

Wilson calls 2016 “a dark time” — the year her dog died, a family member was struggling with mental health issues, and Trump was elected. “I literally woke up every day after the election for months just nauseated to realize how many people are OK with sexual assault and how my daughters are not safe,” she said, refering to the then-candidate’s comments on an “Access Hollywood” tape.

As a candidate for commissioner, she tweeted in support of Black Lives Matter. In return, Wilson said, she’s been called a Marxist and a communist by supporters of her opponent, incumbent Republican Commissioner Lora Thomas.

“The fear of this rioting is all about racism,” Wilson said. Scaring voters about riot violence works only if they are “primed for it,” she said.

Wilson’s campaign wasn’t getting that much traction until the current commissioners moved to withdraw from Tri-County Health Department after the department ordered a COVID-19 mask mandate.

“My campaign just blew up,” she said. “I didn’t sleep for two weeks.”

Her campaign has focused on the pandemic and science, which is a “huge divide right now,” she said.

“Imagine if a terrorist had killed 60 people in Douglas County since March?” referring to the 63 coronavirus deaths in the county.

Thomas said her constituents aren’t concerned about whether Douglas County breaks up with TriCounty Health Department — they want to talk about how to keep the historically conservative county safe, she said.

“I have had many people ask me if they are safe here” and whether the protests will move to the suburbs, she said. Thomas, a former county coroner now fighting her first competitive race against a Democrat, said voters care most about “quality of life,” including public safety and open spaces.

“I’ve been knocking on doors since 2004 and what I’ve found through all of my years knocking on doors and talking to voters, is that there is no one-size-fits-all for a suburban woman voter,” she said.

“They’re conservative, they’re liberal … They love Douglas County the way it is. And they want to keep it that way.”

Karen Middleton, president of the abortion rights organization Cobalt, has been making phone calls to women in the suburbs to ask if they will vote against Proposition 115, the abortion ban measure.

One woman cut her off and said, “I’m not at all into politics,” before hanging up. Middleton felt like the woman meant “politics is a yucky thing that other people are involved in,” and it reminded her of the times she’s knocked on doors for various campaigns — including her own for state representative in 2008 — and women would take her fliers and promise to ask their husbands.

This year, though, Middleton has been encouraged not just by the numbers of women fired up about politics, but by their enthusiasm.

“This time,” she said, “I’m seeing people come out of the woodwork.”

Spaceman Guitars flying high in Lakewood Change of address, global pandemic haven’t stopped independent music store

SPACEMAN GUITARS 9797 W Colfax Ave Ste 1B Lakewood, CO 80215 Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Online: www.spacemanguitarsdenver.com Facebook: facebook.com/spacemanguitars

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a stretch of West Colfax, nestled between a phone store and a Kava bar, is a little guitar shop that you may have never noticed. But if you love music, play guitar or simply want to while away some time flipping through stacks of vinyl, you should do yourself a favor and pop in to say hello. Spaceman guitars is a labor of love. A small store doing its part to keep the music flowing in Lakewood and beyond. Owner Chris Thomas has a downright solid musical history that started taking shape at a young age.

“I always was a fiddle, gadget type of guy fooling around with electronics of all kinds and amps and was wiring up radios and stuff, and when I started playing guitar it just kind of fit, because you could definitely tweak and fine-tune your instruments to perfect them the way you want them and your amplifiers, so that was about age 14 or 15-years old” Thomas said. “I used to help all of my friends work on their equipment, but it didn’t really dawn on me, “hey, you should be working at a music store, or have a music store, so I’m kind of slow on the uptake sometimes” While he might have been slow to focus in on the business ownership idea, he quickly became a mainstay as a guitarist on the local scene, gigging in bands for decades. He also spent more than 20 years working on instruments and overseeing the guitar operations at Rockley Music before

taking the reins of his own six-string empire about five years ago when the owners at Rockley decided they didn’t want to be in the guitar business any longer.

“The third generation owners, they weren’t guitar players anymore and they just didn’t have the drive to keep the retail thing going,” said Thomas.

Originally setting up shop in a small section of Rockley, Thomas was able to transition into business ownership while making it easy for local guitar players to keep receiving the kind of service they were accustomed to. In October 2019, Thomas relocated his shop to its current location when the owners of Rockley decided it was time to put their building up for sale.

The new store is a decidedly family affair, with Thomas still doing repairs and sales while his wife Kristy does the books and other behind-the-scenes magic. He gives her huge props for helping the business to thrive.

“We couldn’t run this place without her,” he said. “And I’m training my daughter on repairs. So, it’s a real family kind of thing.”

A special space Walking through the door is like taking a step into the past at Spaceman Guitars, in the best sort of way.

If you’re old enough to remember the a time before the digital revolution, when experts still fixed beautiful objects and you could hold recorded music in your hands as you gazed at amazing cover art, you’ll feel right at home. And chances are, the owner will remember your name by your second visit — a detail that might go unnoticed at a big-box guitar store. A visit to Spaceman may just transport you back to an age when small mom and pop shops like this ruled the suburban landscape and Amazon was a river you studied in geography class.

It’s a 13-year old’s dream, a 40-something’s coolest musical memory all rolled into one.

Thomas said that’s by design.

“We kind of have the shop set up like the kind of place we would have wanted to hang out in before, when we were going around to pawn shops and record stores and music stores.

They (Rockley) were more rigid in their thinking and didn’t really see

the value in consignments and used guitars, and it certainly is messy and discombobulated at times, but it’s fun,” Thomas said. “It’s always changing and you never know what’s gonna be happening in here. Guitar players are really scrounges. They like to dig around and dig through records and dig through boxes of old guitar parts or see old guitars or old amps, so we kind of appeal to that sort of nature that guitar players often have.”

With many business being hit hard by COVID-19, Spaceman has weathered the storm well so far, and Thomas is grateful for the loyalty of the customers he’s built up over the years and the new ones just finding their way to his door. He realizes a move to a new location just months before the pandemic hit could have had far different results.

“We’re super blessed and feel lucky compared to what a lot of people have been going through. We can see our numbers compared to last year and they’re steadily going up every month,” he said. “Covid being an indoor activity kind of thing, everything is booming. We’re selling more records than ever, selling guitars, people are breaking instruments out that haven’t been serviced or played in years and so we’re so unbelievably busy.”

As for the future, Thomas and his family are hoping to add a couple of additional guitar brands to the lines of new instruments he carries, and finish up working on the store so in his words, “it’s really in the groove.”

Fall colors still impress on these easy in-town hikes

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Even though the leaves are falling fast, it’s not too late to see some beautiful fall colors on an easy, close-in hike. But you’d better hurry. If you want to get away from it all for an hour or so, without really leaving the metro area, look no further. We scout-

ed three trails that might scratch your seasonal itch without spending hours on the road to get there and back.

Waterton Canyon Waterton Canyon still has plenty of autumn vibes to take in as you wind your way around the hiking path. Aside from the foliage, there are birds and ducks, and you may even

see a bighorn sheep if you make it far enough up the trail. It’s a nature walk that may just make you forget how close to civilization you really are. Waterton is easy to find from C-470 or Wadsworth Blvd., and there’s usually plenty of parking to be had, not to mention, a restroom if nature happens to call.

More information is available at www.denverwater.org/recreation/ waterton-canyon-strontia-springsresevoir Clear Creek Trail If you’re looking to add some people-watching to your leaf-peeping head west to Golden and the Clear Creek Trail. This easy to find spot has all of the bases covered with plenty of parking on the street, or in convenient lots adjacent to the trail.

To get there, simply find your way to Golden and head to the intersection of Washington avenue and 10th street.

The tree-lined trail starts just behind the Golden Visitor’s Center, and runs parallel along the creek. There are lots of places to sit and take it all in if you need a rest, and you can even bring along your fishing pole if you’re feeling lucky. This hike is easy to do with small children and there are tons of spots for that epic selfie to make all of your friends who don’t live in Colorado wish that they did. Best of

all, when you’re done with the trail, there’s food, drinks and shopping in every direction.

You can learn more at www.visitgolden.com/listing/clear-creektrail/4033/ South Platte Park The final spot on our list is South Platte Park. Just a stone’s throw from Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue in Littleton, you can take in some gorgeous views of the foothills to the west, as you stroll through thickets of colorful aspen trees and listen to the stress-reducing sound of water gliding down a sleepy stretch of the South Platte river. There are small footpaths branching off from the main trail if you want to wander, and lots of great vantage points for the aspiring photographer. Parking is free and easy, and can be found just to the north of the park-and-ride lots that sit on the southwest corner of the Aspen Grove shopping center. Just follow the road to the Carson Nature Center and turn right, for plentiful parking and an entrance to the trail.

If you go, think about making it a sunset hike. The views are stunning and the evening sun sparkling through the golden leaves is a magical sight.

Legacy dominates in tough conditions to move to 3-0 Lightning strikes in big 4th quarter over Prairie View

BY ADAM HOTHERSALL SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

In front of no fans, rainy conditions, and 25-degree weather last Thursday, Legacy football still provided a show with a 47-6 thrashing of Prairie View.

of the first half, a mixture of ferocious defense, a steady running game, and clutch special team plays elevated the Lightning to 3-0.

Despite Prairie View running more offensive plays (49-46) and having more time of possession, the Legacy defense held strong for all 48 minutes. The only blemish of the night came on a 62-yard run by PV junior running back Larenz Lovelace in the second quarter. For the rest of the affair, the home team SEE LEGACY, P22

No. 1 Dakota Ridge football soars through the rain in win versus Standley Lake

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

LAKEWOOD — The newly tagged No. 1 football team in Class 4A didn’t have an issue with the new weight on its shoulders Oct. 22.

Dakota Ridge — top-ranked 4A team in the CHSAANow.com rankings this week after moving past defending state champion Pine Creek in the polls — stayed perfect on the season with a 42-0 victory over Standley Lake at Jeffco Stadium.

“When Pine Creek walks on the field they assume they are the best team on the field. We’ve got to get to that point

with this group,” Dakota Ridge coach Ron Woitalewicz said. “We should be the big dog on the field right now and they kind of embraced that this week. We know we are going to get everyone’s best shot with that (No. 1) target.”

Dakota Ridge (3-0, 2-0 in 4A Jeffco League) has now outscored its first three opponents 155-26.

“We have full belief in ourselves, full belief in our coaches,” Dakota Ridge senior Charlie Offerdahl said. “We know our capabilities. We have a lot going for ourselves this year. We are going to take it

“The defense has been great so far this year,” Legacy coach Corey Heinz said in an email after the game. “Coach Miller and that staff have done a great job this offseason getting our kids ready to play this year. I believe (junior) Mike McCarty at linebacker has possibly been most improved from last year. He has led that front 7 so far. Extremely proud of those guys. We have a huge task this week to try to slow down Fairview.”

McCarty led the squad with seven tackles followed by five apiece from senior Brandon Aviles and junior Mason Dickerson. Seniors Ryan Woelfel, Zane Carlson, Noah Ramirez-Hodges, Kael Singer, and junior Nick Moore tallied four tackles each.

After the Lightning finally got the running game going late in the first quarter behind senior quarterback Jaiden Peterson and junior running back Braelon Tate, a 21-yard reception and 14-yard run by Tate gave Legacy a 14-0 lead. But then special teams took over to grow the lead even further.

It started on the following kick-off after Legacy junior Camdyn Johnson stripped the Thunderhawks’ returner of the ball, trotting 14 yards into the endzone. Afterward, a 3-and-out from Prairie View forced a punt that Dickerson took for a touchdown from 41 yards out. Thirteen points in one

minute and 20 seconds devastated the visiting group, and it was all smooth sailing from there for Legacy.

“Those were two huge plays to get us going. Obviously, with the conditions the way they were, we knew it’d be a tough start offensively for both teams,” Heinz said. “Our defense started the game hot and our special teams opened it up. Cam and Mason both have been great special teams’ guys for us as well as starters on their sides of the ball.”

Another score three minutes and 48 seconds later by Tate from a yard out moved the lead to 34-0; the score that was taken to halftime. The two touchdowns in the second half for Legacy came from sophomore speedster, Brandon Sanchez from two and 15 yards out. Tallying 260 yards on 35 carries in total (7.4 yards per carry), Peterson’s 110 yards on 11 carries (10 ypc) matched with Tate’s 90 yards on 14 carries (6.4 yard-per-carry) continues to spark this offense to their perfect start of the 2020 season.

“Those guys (Peterson and Tate) definitely have some juice in the backfield. They can take it the distance at any given moment. Our offensive line has been great for those two, opening up running lanes. We have a huge challenge this week with the conference champs. With that challenge comes an opportunity, but we will need to have a great week of practice to give ourselves a chance.

This group of kids has been so fun to coach and we’re definitely grateful for every day we get to be on the field this year,” Heinz said.

Public Notice NOTICE OF INTENT TO CREATE BINDING USE RESTRICTIONS ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6435 HURON STREET, DENVER, COLORADO

P8 D-C Industrial Last Mile, LLC and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) provide notice of their intention to impose binding environmental use restrictions (EURs) on the property located at 6435 Huron Street, Denver, Colorado. The EURs ensure continued protection of human health and the environment due to the effects of methane emissions from closed municipal solid waste landfills in the area and the property’s inclusion within the Flammable Gas Overlay District established by Adams County Colorado and Tri-County Health Department. The proposed restrictions will prohibit structures from being built on the property without a properly designed and constructed methane mitigation system approved by CDPHE that is designed to prevent airborne concentrations of methane within the structure from exceeding concentrations specified in a separate Methane Management Plan. Pursuant to § 25-15-318.5, C.R.S., once the EURs have been finalized and filed, they are binding on all current and future owners of the land and any persons possessing an interest in the land. CDPHE is accepting public comments on the draft EURs. A copy of the proposed EURs and a legal description of the affected property is available online at https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/ cdphe/solidwaste-public-notices.

STANDLEY LAKE

Dakota Ridge senior Charlie Offerdahl (44) attempts to break the tackle of Standley Lake sophomore Max Stout. Offerdahl had touchdown runs of 35 and 15 yards in the second quarter to extend the Eagles’ lead to 35-0 at halftime.

Offerdahl has already scored eight touchdowns over three games this season.

all the way.”

The Eagles actually fumbled on their opening drive, but was sharp offensively after the miscue.

Dakota Ridge scored touchdowns on its next four drives to take a commanding 28-0 lead.

“It was definitely slick. We had to have two hands every time,” Offerdahl said of weather conditions that included freezing rain. “I give the credit to our offensive line. Great job up front. Everything works around them.”

Dakota Ridge sophomore Noah Triplett opened up the scoring with a 62-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter.

“Credit to the youngster, Noah,” Offerdahl said of the sophomore running back. “He can play. The more weapons we have the better.”

After a Standley Lake turnover, Dakota Ridge quarterback Ben Gultig hooked up with senior Colin Stuhr for a 29-yard touchdown.

“What I was really impressed with was how Ben (Gultig) threw the ball early on with the wet ball and it was cold and windy,” Woitalewicz said.

The Eagles capitalized on another Gator turnover to set up a third touchdown. Senior Steve Reyes rumbled in from 7 yards out on the first play from scrimmage in the second quarter and Offerdahl ran in a 2-point conversion to give Dakota Ridge a 21-0 lead in a driving rain with 11:55 left in the second quarter.

Offerdahl put Dakota Ridge up 28-0 minutes later on a 35-yard touchdown run. The senior capped off the scoring in the first half with a 15-yard touchdown, his seventh touchdown on the season.

“As long as we have 44 (Offerdahl) we are going to have a chance to be in the game,” Woitalewicz said.

Standley Lake (2-1, 1-1) threatened to end the shutout bid in the final minutes, but a goal-line stand gave the Eagles their first shutout of the season.

Dakota Ridge is scheduled to be back in action next Friday night at Trailblazer Stadium in Lakewood. The Eagles face Wheat Ridge (0-3, 0-2) in another 4A Jeffco conference battle.

Standley Lake will try to get back in the win column when the Gators face Bear Creek (1-2, 1-1) on Oct. 30 at the North Area Athletic Complex in Arvada.

Dennis Pleuss is the Sports Information Director for Jeffco Public Schools. For more coverage go to CHSAANow.com/Jeffco.

“That’s three straight games with a pick on defense for him. Every time he touches the ball on offense something dynamic can happen. He is a pretty special player.”

The senior standout intercepted a pass from Standley Lake quarterback Jake Worm on the opening drive of the second half. Following a 34-yard pass from Gultig to senior Mason Galbreath that set the Eagles up in the red-zone, Offerdahl scored his third touchdown of the night on a 10-yard scamper into the end zone.

The eighth touchdown of the season for Offerdahl induced a running clock for the remainder of the game with Dakota Ridge’s 42-0 lead.
