Drive-throughs New rules prohibit indoor and virtual dining, personal gatherings events Denver metro counties COVID has left little room for in-person holiday celebrations this month

move to COVID-19 dial level red

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Live holiday festivals and special events might be few and far between this month, but local event planners are doing what they can to keep COVID-19 from spoiling 2020’s holiday cheer.

“One thing, we just like to see good things happen for the city,” said Steven Stokes, event supervisor for the City of Northglenn. “The other thing is that the need is there. We need to sort out and have family, safe alternatives for the holidays.”

Northglenn’s holiday kickoff is happening Dec. 4, but it won’t be the same event as years past. Social distancing restrictions mean that Noel Northglenn will be an entirely outside event this year in an effort to slow down the spread of COVID-19. There won’t be indoor crafts, snowball fights in the gymnasium or floating balls in the swimming pool for kids to play in.

To make things more difficult, there’s a limit on the number of people that can attend and organizers have already reached that limit.

“The challenge for Noel Northglenn is that we are already full,” Stokes said. “That’s just the nature of having events now. Noel Northglenn normally brings in 1,100 or 1,200 employees. And this year, we can’t have that many people.”

People can still put their names on a waiting list, and Stokes encouraged them to do that. As originally planned, the event would feature a few stops outdoors at the city’s Recreation Center, 11801 Community Center Drive.

That’s been replaced with a drive-through event — families stay in their cars, visiting

As Denver metro counties continue to inch closer to local stayat-home orders under Colorado’s system of coronavirus-related restrictions, the state announced a new level of rules that prohibits indoor dining and personal gatherings — a change that applies to the majority of the Denver metro area and many counties in other regions.

The state’s COVID-19 dial, which has been in effect since September, is the set of different levels of restrictions that each county is required to follow based on the severity of a county’s local virus spread. The dial grew out of the state’s safer-at-home order, the policy that came after the statewide stay-at-home order this spring and allowed numerous types of businesses to reopen.

The state recently switched to color identifiers — levels blue, yellow and orange rather than numbered levels — to avoid confusion. Until Nov. 17, level red meant a stay-at-home order. Now, level red — “severe risk” — is the second most restrictive level. The purple level, deemed “extreme risk,” amounts to a stay-at-home order.

The new level red, announced by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Nov. 17, encompasses the vast majority of the metro area. The new level took effect in counties with severe enough virus spread on Nov. 20, according to the department.

Community brewery aims for Westminster Zymos Brewery hopes to offer unique beers and social atmosphere

BY STAFF REPORT SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

James Coulter is all about the beer, but his plans for Zymos Brewery go a bit beyond the beverage.

“We are going to have a stage, so we can have live music,” said Coulter, the head of brewery operations for the planned brewery. “But a lot of the ideas is we want to make this a community space, going back to that old tradition where the local pub was the gathering place. We’ll have tables where people can come play games with their friends, have meetings, or have a beer while they’re working.”

Zymos, his wife Jen and friends Alex and Tyler Tift hope to open their neighborhood brewery next spring, offering multiple kinds of beer, housemade ginger ale and space for good conversation.

“We’ll also have a lounge area which will be couches and that club-chair feeling,” Coulter said. “We’ll have that nicer, quieter space to lounge. If you have a date it’s a nice intimate space.

If you have a small group of friends, you’ll have a nice sitting space.”

The brewery will take over the space in the Mission Hill mall at 88th

and Wadsworth, left vacant when the HoffBrau moved across Wadsworth Boulevard.

“The floors are little rough,” Coulter said. “There is a bar there we are going to keep, but our plans is to make it a much more lounge, an inviting space, compared to what is there currently.”

But Zymos will be a full brewery, able to brew about 10 legs per turn.

“We’ll have 20 taps, so at any given time we’ll have, we’ll a lot of beer,” he said. “I think we are guesstimating we’ll make about 800 barrels of beer a year, but that’s a rough number,” Coulter said.

All beer is good beer Coulter said he likes all beer, but especially enjoys a good pilsner.

“I lived in Prague for a few months and I really liked the balance between hops and malt,” he said. “You can really experience the malts and it’s not all hops, like an IPA. All three elements of brewing have to be in balance. You can’t be heavy handed with the the hops, the malt or the yeast. It really shows care, craft and patience.”

That doesn’t mean that he’s not interested in experimenting. He’s eager to try his hand at brewing some historic styles that are not as well known, as well as experimenting with some unusually yeast strains.

“We have some yeasts that have been brought over from Iceland and Norway,” he said. “One of the prod-

He’s been working in breweries professionally since 2015, running Wheatridge’s Colorado Plus Brew Pub and Taphouse, as well their Golden Cidery.

That’s where he met his partners.

“They went to breweries, met their friends through breweries and they understand that vibe that you get from a brewery,” he said. “I was looking to

start my own project and they were looking for something to do that was a different.”

people or more over the three days.

“If we can only have 175 people, there is no sense in trying to do a festival,” he said. “And then the number of people got ratcheted down again, and now we’d be limited to 75 people.

If had a choir of kids, and each kid brought one parent, and with staff and a couple of spectators, there we are.”

He said that city was considering having a tree lighting ceremony at Carpenter Park , but had to change.

Like Westminster’s tree lighting ceremony, which has also been cancelled for 2020, Thornton decided to pass.

“Even that, we were afraid we’d draw too many people out,” Steinke said.

Stokes said it’s like a reverse parade.

“So, when we switched to a drive through, we’ll be able to accommodate a few more people,” he said.

People will stay in their cars, drive past holiday characters and be done.

“Last year, people could come and hang out for three hours and we had plenty of stuff to do,” Stokes said.

“When it was going to be a walkthrough, we planned on an hour per family. Now, since it’s a drive-through, it’ll probably be like 15 minutes. But that is the safest way to do it.”

The festival still runs from 4-8 p.m.

Dec. 4. Registration is at www.northglenn.org/event_detail_T24_R25.php on the city’s website .

Other events, especially the Old Fashioned Christmas at Northglenn’s Stonehocker Farm, have been canceled.

“That’s run by our Historic Commission,” Stokes said. “Most of the folks that work on that are in the age group that is most at risk, so that got canceled pretty early.”

Thornton taking a break In Thornton, planners were not able to figure out a way to make their Winterfest happen in 2020. The three day festival was scheduled for Dec. 1113 with a toned down list of surprises but Recreation Superintendent Chris Steinke said they simply could not make it work with COVID restrictions being what they are right now.

“We decided a while back that it likely wasn’t going to happen because we would have been limited to 175 people,” Steinke said. “That’s what we ran at all of our summer concerts and movies in the park, limits of 175 people.”

Winterfest usually draws in 15,000

Fitting in The brewery won’t serve food, and that works perfectly for Sam Brown, their landlord and Mission Hill owner.

The brewery has a couple of restaurants right nearby that will happily feed the brewery’s patrons, he said.

“It’s right next to a pizzeria, and that’s going to be great for both of them,” Brown said. “Actually, we have great food all around them. So the brewery is going to fit right in.”

Virtual events abound Thornton’s Santa Calling is coming back, however. Parents register their kids at www.thorntonco.gov/festivalsevents/ online and one of Thornton’s volunteers will calls at the appointed time, between 6 and 8 p.m. Dec. 15-17.

Once the child is ready, Santa or one of Thornton helpers will come on the line. Families need to register for that

by Dec. 4.

Northglenn will host a virtual scavenger hunt for kids Dec. 6, online using the Goosechase app on their parents’ smartphone. They should bring their Elf On a Shelf or stuffed animal and they can earn points as they solve problems. To participate, they should by emailing culture@northglenn.org before Dec. 4.

Westminster is hosting a craft making event online from 2-3 -p.m. Dec. 19.

They register to reserve a supply bag, which can be collected Dec. 5-18 curbside at Westminster’s Irving Street Library. Then, Westminster’s crew will help make gifts and decorations for friends and family. Register online at http://westminsterlibrary.evanced. info/signup/list?df=list&nd=90&kw= homemade+holidays. The event is free and the crafts are appropriate for all ages.

Bringing help to fire victims and their animals

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@METROWESTNEWSPAPERS.COM

When the fires started in Boulder’s Left Hand Canyon near and Cameron Peak in Larimer County, Realtors Joanna Pruitt from Lochbuie, Cindy Waltemath from Brighton, and Ashley and Derek King from Broomfield came to the rescue to help the firemen and the animals affected.

“We jumped in as a team and just started moving,” said Pruitt. “There was never a question as to if, it was when and how quickly. I am truly humbled to work with such a great group of people. We as a team believe in caring for those we serve and community service is always a top priority.”

“It was my real estate agent’s idea.

I was both proud and humbled. I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful group of agents that share my vision of giving back,” said Waltemath.

“We got involved because we have horses of our own and couldn’t imagine being on the other side of things in this situation. So we felt as fellow Coloradans, it was the only option to help. Times like these are when the community needs to come together and support each other. It was amazing to see our whole group feel the same,” said King.

The group began distributing supplies to the firemen Oct. 19. As the four were delivering supplies, they heard about displaced horses and livestock.

“It was horrible news regarding the Cameron Peak and Left Hand fires and the need to not only get equine and livestock out but the need for supplies for those taking in the displaced

animals,” said Pruitt. “I reached out to Ashley, and we began to plan our response to the needs of everyone affected. This is when we created our Go Fund Me campaign.”

The type of supplies for the animals included bedding and stalls, feed, hay, chicken feed, blankets, water tanks, heaters, food bowls, buckets, halters, lead ropes, and other small items when needed. The group made deliveries to Gilpin County, Grand County, Kremmling and Adams and Weld counties, The Ranch Event Center in Loveland and also private residences.

“We knew it was time to do something. Our main focus was on helping livestock. We noticed there were many donation drives to help out the firemen. We saw the need for animals.

TECHNOLOGY PROBLEMS? We Come to You - Home or Business

Many families in Colorado count on their livestock as income, as well as see them as part of their family. We felt the need to step up and speak for the fur babies,” said King.

Pruitt said Ashley and her husband, Derek, were an instrumental piece to the response to help the animal since they had the vehicles to haul loads of pallets of hay, and shavings along with other supplies.

Also, supplies have been dropped off at The Ranch in Loveland, the Gilpin County Fairgrounds, the Kremmling fairgrounds, Adams County fairgrounds, and the Weld County Animal Shelter. These were places where the displaced animals were housed until the owners could bring them home.

“We now want to reach out further and start providing help to the landowners that we are helping by taking on additional animals until the owners can safely take their animals back,” Pruitt.

The Kings are Colorado natives.

When they are not rescuing animals, they own a small piece of property in Broomfield and spend time raising two girls, 4 and 7. They raise horses and dogs.

“We are fixing up our little farm and hoping to make a move to a bigger property here soon. We are involved in real estate of course, and enjoy fixing up properties and selling them. I have been in the real estate industry since 2016, and Derek is in repair and sales,” said Ashley King.

Joanna Pruitt is a native of Colorado and was raised in Green Mountain and also lived in Meeker. When Pruitt is not busy helping animals, she is a Realtor, wife, and mom raising four

boys. Her youngest is a senior who is playing competitive baseball.

“Traveling for his games keeps us pretty busy, but we are thankful for the opportunity to be sharing this time with him as we were with the three older boys as well,” said Pruitt.

Cindy Waltemath was raised in Colorado and currently lives in the Brighton area. She owns her own real estate brokerage company. She has three teenage boys and a daughter at Colorado Southern University.

“As a family, we enjoy an active schedule with youth sports. We have three teenage boys and a daughter in college,” said Waltemath.

The group is busy working on a food drive. The four will be dropping off bags to homes in the Brighton area in the following weeks to help the community during the holiday season.

“It is truly such a blessing to be able to help. We have been able to meet so many appreciative people. I also feel it has drawn us closer as a brokerage.

I could not be more proud and blessed to work with such a wonderful group of people,” said Waltemath.

“I have been a `giver’ my entire life.

I guess I have never really stopped to `feel’ much, but I can tell you that being able to care for others and help in situations like this brings tears to my eyes from time to time,” said Pruitt.

“It is a truly amazing feeling to see the people you are helping by talking a little less off their shoulders for a small moment. To make just a slight impact on someone’s life is worth all the effort. We are proud to be a part of a brokerage that stands behind giving back to the community,” said King.

COVID

holds.

A spokesperson for the State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state publichealth department, provided the new thresholds of virus spread that would trigger a county to move to the new level red. Similar to a threshold for the old level red, the line a county would have to cross is 350 new cases per 100,000 people over a two-week period — a metric known as a county’s “incidence rate.”

Based on that standard, in roughly 50 of Colorado’s 64 counties, the rates of new cases cross the line for the new level red based on the state’s data as of Nov. 18, but many appear likely not to move to that level for at least a few weeks, if at all. More than a dozen of those counties sat in levels lower than orange as of Nov. 18.

For example, Costilla, Custer, Lake, Montezuma, Pitkin and San Juan counties are moving to level orange on Nov. 20. Those counties’ incidence rates exceed the limit of 350 aside from San Juan, whose data appears to be evaulated differently due to its small population.

As COVID-19 cases continue on a steep spike across Colorado, several public-health agency directors signed a Nov. 5 letter to the state public-health department, urging the state to speed up the process of moving counties to tighter restrictions on the dial.

The letter included signatures from health agency leaders from Denver, Jefferson, Broomfield, Boulder, Lincoln, Prowers and Kiowa counties, along with Tri-County Health, which serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Most area counties had been at level orange.

The counties that moved to the new level are Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson in the metro area. Other counties across the state that transitioned that day are Clear Creek, La Plata, Logan, Mesa, Morgan, Routt, Summit and Washington counties.

“If we are not careful now, we risk plunging into the deep end of the dial, where hospitals are not able to serve everyone who needs care, whether they are COVID-19 patients or other types of patients,” Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director of the CDPHE, said in a news release. “It’s up to all Coloradans to help our essential health care workers save lives.”

Some of the key changes that come with counties moving from orange to red: • Personal gatherings of two or more people — whether in public or private — are prohibited. Nothing in the updated public health order prohibits gatherings of people who live in the same residence.

• Restaurants are closed for indoor dining. Takeout, curbside and delivery are allowed. Dining in outdoor spaces with members of a person’s own household is allowed.

• Indoor events, both seated and unseated, are closed.

• Outdoor events, both seated and unseated, are now allowed to be attended only by groups that consist of people from the same house-

VOICES

A success or not, recall has repercussions

here is a lot riding on the administrative protest hearing involving the disqualified recall petitions which Westminster City Clerk Michelle Parker had previCROSS ously declared.

CURRENTS The City Clerk had certified the petitions to be insufficient due to a variety of technical flaws. The hearing was conducted on November 20 by Administrative Hearing Officer Karen Goldman, who Bill Christopher had been hired by the city. We need to remember the focus of the hearing was a technical review of the work and actions taken by the city clerk. In accordance with the rules, Ms. Goldman has five days after completing the hearing in which to render her decisions.

Consequences for the four officials either way I would say there is a lot on the line because however Ms. Goldman decides, there will be consequences for Mayor Atchison, Mayor Pro Tem Anita Seitz and City Councillors Katheryn Skulley

and Jon Voelz.

Either one or more of the four will stand a recall election and its outcome OR they will go down in Westminster history knowing there were sufficient signatures (over 7,000 in each case) regardless of technicalities to cause the recall election.

That would be a real case of dodging the bullet. However, it leaves a stain on each of the four elected officials regardless of your perspective on the righteousness of recalling elected officials over high water rates. That stain would be especially worrisome for the three who could be running for mayor or city councilor in 2021.

Atchison is term-limited and is already appearing to be a lame duck.

When will this all be over?

The final chapter of this set of proceedings could well end up in district court. Like so many other decisions in America, the losing party wants another bite at the apple and sues over the interpretation of the law or facts.

As famous New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra once said, “It ain’t over until it’s over.”

So, just like we had to do with the final ballot counting and recounting on the Presidential race, we wait.

Best use of federal funds?

Meanwhile back at the ranch, more questionable use of federal CBDG funds to be processed.

One project involves landscaping funds south of 72nd Avenue on Hooker Street to the train station while the other involves different federal money that had been used to purchase three parcels of land for senior apartments at 73rd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard.

Let’s address the Hooker Street landscaping project, which is recommended to spend $523,806.

According to the staff write-up, “The Infrastructure and Streetscape Improvement project will upgrade streetscape and lighting on streets with deteriorating or inadequate conditions in low-moderate income Census tracts.

The City will begin with a project to reconstruct sidewalks and add lighting on public right-of-way adjacent to income-restricted properties in the TOD neighborhood on Hooker Street between West 71st Avenue and West 72nd Avenue.”

That project sounds nice, but is it the highest and best use of the involved federal funds? Let’s remember, these funds are not like candy and should not be spent willy nilly.

Focus on 72nd Ave., a key arterial street I have an alternative to the Hooker Street project that would improve a local street. I had previously written about the shoddy, run-down appearance of 72nd Avenue in the “business sector” between Eliot Street and Bradburn/Raleigh Street. This is a key arterial street in Historic Westminster which you would expect the city would want to keep looking first-class.

Well, this street section needs a good face-lift. I don’t know that you even need to spend the full $523,806 on this project. Not only does it have a higher profile than Hooker Street, it would give area businesses a shot in the arm.

It might even motivate some to invest in upgrades and renovations. Plus, let’s remember that CDBG funds must be spent in lower-income Census tracts, and that would include this area.

One bad decision does not warrant a second bad decision The second project to call to the public’s attention is the proposed 16 senior apartment unit development on the southwest corner of 73rd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard.

DESPERATION The projections — if you believe in science — are grim: as bad as the Spanish flu numbers, by the fall of 2021.

The fall of 2021?

Have you, like me, looked back? At first the virus seemed disconcerting; then Craig Marshall it became pernicious and deadly.

Smith One thing after another was canceled or rescheduled.

We were ordered to stay at home, asked to wear masks.

Some adamantly refused and still do.

Large gatherings were discouraged and then prohibited.

But “What, me worry?”

Thousands of Notre Dame students filled the field after the football team upset Clemson.

Weddings have gone on. Parties. Religious services.

Some businesses have suffered irreparable losses.

Care to go on a cruise?

Amid all of this, traditionalists will nevertheless observe and celebrate as always in the weeks ahead.

Undoubtedly, there will be some adjustments and compromises.

My own plans are next to none. But for years, I made travel agent (remember?) arrangements to fly into Traverse City, Michigan, and spend a week under cloudy skies.

That part is not missed, but the irreplaceable opportunities to be around our little family is missed.

Home-cooked meals, bowl games and the constant drone of judgment.

“Don’t you own a comb, Craig?”

And along with all of the festivities, I’ll miss their unusual neighborhood.

Ready?

My father and mother lived across the street from five houses of different colors, each occupied by man of a different nationality.

Every man had his favorite drink, his favorite brand of cigarettes and kept a particular kind of pet.

An Englishman lived in the red house.

The Swede kept dogs.

The Dane drank tea.

The green house was just to the left of the white one.

The owner of the green house drank coffee.

The Pall Mall smoker kept birds.

The owner of the yellow house

smoked Dunhill.

The man in the center house drank milk.

The Norwegian lived in the first house.

The Camel smoker had a neighbor who kept cats.

The man who smoked Marlboro drank beer.

The man who kept horses lived next to the Dunhill smoker.

The German smoked Lucky Strike.

The Norwegian lived next to the blue house.

The Camel smoker had a neighbor who drank water.

Now: Which of the men kept fish?

Perhaps that will keep you or your children or grandchildren busy for a while. But it comes with a warning: 98% are incapable of solving it.

If that one is too daunting, try this: What is more useful when it is broken?

How many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

What, if anything, is wrong with this famous Groucho Marx comment?

Behavior clears path and motivation follows

O

ne question that I seem to be getting more of these days is around motivation. Not only are people asking how to get motivated, but they are also asking how they can stay motivated.

“People often say that motivation doesn’t really last. Well neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily.” - Zig Ziglar Mr. Ziglar certainly knew a lot about how to motivate us and more importantly how to keep us motivated.

And he would also be the first one to remind us that motivation is temporary unless it is coupled with action.

It is one thing to be motivated about setting a goal or getting inspired by the thought of a new project, and it is something completely different in taking the actions necessary to achieve our goals or complete our projects.

Sometimes we can use a motivated mindset as the spark that leads us to take the actions necessary for our productivity or success. For some of us, this how we are wired. When we are feeling good and life is better than good, finding sources of motivation is

easy, our creativity is inspired, we are filled with hope, and we end up crushing our tasks and to-do lists.

When we are feeling motivated, we may exercise a little longer and push a little harder. When we are feeling motivated, we may make better Michael Norton choices in what we do, what we eat, and how we treat our bodies.

But what happens when we aren’t feeling so good, or when life isn’t going quite the way we want it to be going? What happens when we really don’t feel like exercising, going to work, or staying on our eating plan?

And let’s face it, we all have those days from time to time, don’t we? Again, for some of us, we can adjust our thinking, fill our minds with powerful and positive thoughts, and motivate ourselves to get after whatever it is that needs getting after. We can turn on a song that gets us fired up. We can

listen to a motivational talk or read an inspiring book or quote. For many others, it’s just not that simple.

Motivated behavior happens when we are first motivated by behavior. David Sandler, and many other experts have written and spoken about doing the behaviors even when we don’t feel like doing them. David Sandler said it this way, “It’s not how you feel that determines how you act. It’s how you act that determines how you feel.”

How many of us have had the experience of not feeling like getting our workout in, but after the first few minutes on the treadmill, we were fired up to keep going. For those of us in the profession of selling, we have all had those moments or days when we knew that we needed to prospect but we just didn’t feel like it. And when we don’t feel like prospecting, we can easily become demotivated, talking ourselves right out of picking up the phone.

But knowing our career and income depend on prospecting, we start doing the behavior, and once we begin it’s almost impossible to stop us.

Even the act of picking up a motiva-

tional book and choosing to read it is doing a behavior. Spending a few minutes to think about what motivates us is a behavior. Selecting our most energizing song and pushing play is a behavior. This underscores that motivated behavior happens when we are first motivated by behavior. And once we become committed to doing the behaviors that will motivate us the most, layering in some form of daily motivation as Zig Ziglar mentions in his quote above, it will help us along our journey of becoming motivated and staying motivated.

How about you? Are you in search of how to get or stay motivated? Are you doing the behaviors whether you feel like it or not? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing. com and when we combine our behaviors with our motivation, it really will be a better than good week.

north of the proposed site and has a conditional contract to purchase the three involved parcels from the City of Westminster. These parcels have a long bumpy history from an ill-conceived higher-density apartment complex that was generated by a city staff member who is long gone from the city.

That first project fell by the wayside, thankfully, but the city had already .purchased the parcels with HUD federal funds. Now, the city is under a time deadline with HUD so this new apartment project has been pushed ahead in spite of the pandemic.

Planning commission sends mixed signals It is interesting to point out that the Westminster Planning Commission recently held a public hearing on the proposed apartment complex, which produced mixed results.

They approved the change in zoning to PUD which would allow the apartments on a 4-3 vote, but they recommended denial to City Council on the specific plan by a vote of 4-3.

Planning Commissioners questioned if the plan met the required city planning criteria while residents raised the concern over soil contamination that has not been fully mitigated. Both benzene and gas had been mitigated

WINNING WORDS

Postpone the public hearing or refund federal funds Given the amount of neighborhood opposition to the proposed rezoning and allowing residential units on a site that needs further environmental mitigation, the City Council would be wise to reconsider holding the hearing until a time when the public can more effectively participate.

However, the city is faced with a deadline to act on the federally funded parcels. The developer wants to move forward. Is the City Council conflicted in this case as far as what is best for the community versus reacting to a timing issue with HUD? As the property owner of the three parcels up for sale conditioned on the rezoning and plan approval, does the City Council find itself playing judge and jury? This whole land acquisition by the city has been a “misfire” for years.

Just like the city acquired the parcel at 7272 Bradburn Boulevard - which involved HUD funding - the city should bite the bullet and refund the money to HUD and drop the apartment project

‘Not for the lighthearted’

Intrepid entrepreneurs open up shop during the pandemic

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

B

efore the pandemic hit, Kim Mangle’s nonprofit consultancy business was booming.

Then, COVID-19 arrived and her income dried up almost overnight.

“I had this 48-hour period where I went from super busy to having no clients whatsoever,” said Mangle, a Golden resident. “I started to panic.”

When a friend working as a nurse asked her if she could help out by sewing some masks, Mangle used her newfound free time to start making the soughtafter product.

Before long, Mangle realized she enjoyed the work and began getting compliments on the masks, which she also made for friends and family. In August, she decided to launch her own business: 5280Masks, LLC. With the help of her grandmother’s vintage sewing machine, Mangle has now made and sold more than 800 masks.

“It’s been a lot of work, but for me it’s been a really positive outlet,” Mangle said.

Across the metro area, businesses have shuttered left and right since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. But not all doors are closing. Some businesses, like Mangles, have actually been sprouting up during this financially tumultuous time.

SEE BUSINESS, P9

Kim Mangle, a Golden resident, partners with several local businesses that sell her masks. The masks are also available at etsy.com/shop/5280masks.

Arvada Center brings nostalgia, humor to holiday offerings COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

T

here’s no doubt the holidays this year are going to be both familiar and totally different as the country struggles with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Arvada Center is embracing that dichotomy with its holiday theater options, which are emblematic of the new approach arts organizations are taking to connect with audiences and get innovative at the same time - “The Family Tree” and “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.”

“A Child’s Christmas” is a radio play that premieres on Monday, Nov. 30 and is available through Sunday, Dec. 27; after you purchase a ticket you can access a Vimeo link of the play, and it can be streamed as many times as you want through the 27th.

The show is an adaptation of a piece from Welsh author Dylan Thomas by Philip

Charles Sneed and The Foothill Theatre Company. That stage adaptation has been adapted for the radio format by Emily Van Fleet and movingly brings audiences into the mind of a young child during Christmas, along with all the idyllic wonder that makes the season the best time of year. Those in search of the beauty of Christmases gone-by won’t want to miss the show.

Playwright, actor and improviser Jessica Austgen does something wholly different with “The Family Tree,” which is a live, virtual play that airs at 7 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, from Dec. 2 through 20. The show makes uses of the technological and social developments we’ve all become familiar with during the pandemic to paint a picture of a modern Christmas. It follows one Colorado family as they try to have a happy holiday

during these unusual times.

“My husband and I were participating in and seeing our friends doing - staged readings and other livestreams during the lockdown, and it got us thinking about what makes these performances still theater,” Austgen explained. “The audience is what makes all this matter and we wanted to honor the fact that they’re there, even if they’re on the other side of a screen.”

Directed by Lynne Collins, the show features family members virtually interacting with each other from their different locations.

Viewers can follow along with their favorite characters into breakout rooms, which helps bring the characters’ relationships and stories to life. Austgen said the aim was to create SEE READER, P9

BUSINESS FROM PAGE 8

Grocery opens doors While Mangle is capitalizing on demand of a new product, other businesses opening up are seeking customers looking for more traditional goods.

The Gold Line Grab and Go, for example, is a new convenience and grocery store that opened in Olde Town Arvada.

When the owners of the shop bought their storefront in February, not a single confirmed case of COVID-19 had entered the state yet.

A month later, owners had to make an impossible choice: to open their doors in the middle of a pandemic or give up on their vision of bringing this type of store to Olde Town, said Josh Schwartz, co-owner and manager.

“We had to have a big decision to see if we even wanted to open it,” Schwartz said. “Then we recognized that there was a need for basic essentials that you couldn’t get from stores at that time.”

The store is also owned by Sheena and Drew Gordon, who also own and operate the two Bluegrass Lounge locations in Arvada. Because of the Bluegrass Lounge, the owners were able to secure products like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, rice and other high-demand items through distribution chains separate from other grocery and convenience stores.

Still, the pandemic has dragged on and business has been hard to come by.

“Things have been tough, to be honest,” Schwartz said. “The amount of people working in the area has diminished quite significantly.”

Eatery sees up and downs Alfred Wilson, manager at the new Cuca’s Eatery in Highlands Ranch, has felt hard-core ups and downs while opening a business during this time, he said. The American restaurant, with a bit of Latin influence, serves breakfast and dinner.

“If you’re not a seasoned person … I could see how it would really bring you down and make you want to close your shop up,” he said. “This unique scenario is not made for the lighthearted.”

Wilson said while it’s difficult to see negative numbers coming in, he and the owners of the store have had a bullish attitude about their venture since they first decided to take the plunge.

Originally, they were set to begin serving customers a month before the pandemic began, but the opening got pushed back and then the pandemic set them even further back. They finally opened in late September.

“It would have been dumb not to open,” Wilson said. “We’d be giving up and all three of us aren’t the kind to give up, so we took it as a challenge, and our mentality was if we can survive through this, we can survive through anything.”

that feeling when there’s a big group of people, and you’re talking with one group while something entirely different is going on with another that you’re not part of.

“With the breakout rooms, we basically packed three miniature acts into one act. So, while everyone gets the overall plot of the play, you’ll follow who interests you and get their story,” she said. “Audiences will be able to have unique experiences based on who they follow and can come back another night to get a different story.”

This unique set-up required actors to work with Collins and the creative team to create stages in their homes, which helps make the story and characters feel entirely real and what they’re going through extremely relatable.

“Audiences might be closer to theater actors than they’ve ever been,” Austgen said. “The show is a family comedy about missing loved ones and the family squabbles we all have. All of that will be on the screen, and we think it will be a strangely intimate and connecting experience.”

The couple started talking to the previous owner — who also had a frame shop and gallery — about a year ago about buying the shop. The deal was moving forward until the pandemic hit.

“And then the city shut down and we had to put it on the backburner for a couple months,” Platz said.

By Sept. 1, the couple had finalized the deal and opened their store, focusing on handmade, custom framing made from scratch.

The store also serves as a gallery space for Platz’ paintings and Lizak’s photographs.

“It’s been amazing,” Platz said.

Both Platz and Lizak were somewhat hesitant about getting started on this project in the middle of a pandemic, he said.

“When the opportunity presented itself, we just stayed positive and kept moving forward believing that this is our time to make this happen and opportunities like this don’t come along very often,” he said. “We were hesitant … but this may not happen again, this opportunity. So we had to take it. And we’re really excited that we did.”

Platz, who is thrilled to be working in a field where he can be creative all day, feels optimistic about the future of his business, he said.

Pretty good opening for Holy Family alum First-year coaching takes home state softball title

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@METROWESTNEWSPAPERS.COM

There may not be a better way to finish a first year of high-school coaching than to win a state title.

Moriah Tierney Nguyen will agree.

The Brighton native is the first-year softball coach at her alma mater, Holy Family High School. The Tigers captured the state 4A softball crown the second week in October.

“In being the first year as head coach, I would have to say that the feeling of winning a state title is one that is unexplainable,” she said. “I am unbelievably proud of the girls and the hard work they put in this season. I knew from the very first year I started coaching here at Holy Family as an assistant coach when this group was just freshmen, that this would truly be a special group.

They are resilient, relentless and overall just a great group of humble and competitive individuals.”

Nguyen said winning state wasn’t a

surprise “when you have a group of girls who refuse to lose at all costs.”

“These girls have put in the extra time and effort in being great, and it paid off,” she said. “They are not only teammates but sisters off the field, and that has such a big impact on the team’s overall chemistry. Winning the state championship was, no doubt, a team effort both for the girls and our coaching staff.”

The Tigers lost a couple of regularseason games to Mead and Wheat Ridge high schools, both of which were in the state’s rankings for much of the shortened season.

“We came together as a team during one of our team meetings and discussed what our goals were, one of them not being to win a state title,” Nguyen said. “We are not the type of program that dwells on winning and winning championships but rather being excellent in all that we do, whether that’s being an excellent player, teammate, friend or young Christian woman. Us as a coaching staff and school community, hold our girls to much higher expectations than winning.”

That’s not to say that winning a state championship wasn’t what

Nguyen called “an unbelievable experience.”

“But knowing that my girls will have left Holy Family being good people and good Christians is a much higher accomplishment in my book,” she said. “With that said, as a team we discuss what it means to be a Tiger and what that looks like on and off the field, what being a successful player actually means, i.e. physical skills (working hard, competing, doing the extras) plus life skills (being a good person on and off the field) equals successful player (not necessarily winning a championship).

With the girls buying into this philosophy, success and championships will come. And this year, it did.”

Nguyen knew she wanted to coach once she finished her playing career.

“I have loved the game for so long and just wasn’t ready to give up the game yet,” she said. “I thought that I definitely owed it to Holy Family to coach there. The softball program, school and HF community have been a major part of my life and have been a part of who I am. I’ll always be a Tiger.”

She’s also taken a little bit of coaching styles and philosophies

from her coaches, including former Tigers boss Mitch Martinez.

“I have learned so much taking many of their ideas and philosophies and creating my own while also keeping and creating traditions,” Nguyen said.

Finding the benefits of gratitude Dear Reader: It is true that there are scientifically proven benefits to focusing on gratitude. When we spend time replacing negative emotions, like frustration and regret, with thoughts of gratitude, we feel happier and less stressed. This can improve our overall mental and physical health.

Individuals who are grateful, experience fewer aches and pains and report feeling healthier overall.

Studies have linked gratitude to better sleep and lower blood pressure.

Additionally, grateful people are also more likely to take care of their health. They exercise more often and are more likely to attend regular check-ups with their doctor.

Studies show that gratitude activates the part of our brain that regulates a number of our bodily functions, including our appetites, sleep, temperature, metabolism and growth. Our mind is very much connected to our physical well being and when we take care of our mind, through the focus of positivity, those benefits are passed down to our body.

If practicing gratitude is something you are interested in doing more of, here are a few ideas for some easy ways to incorporate it into your everyday life.

Start a gratitude journal and set aside some time each week to write down the things you are grateful for.

Try out a gratitude guided meditation on YouTube Write a hand-written letter to a person you are particularly grateful to have in your life.

Complete the “Greater Good at Berkeley Quiz” (https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/quizzes/take_ quiz/gratitude) This 20-item questionnaire is available online. After you complete it, you will be provided ideas on how to promote further gratitude in life.

If you are religious, incorporating your gratitude in prayer.

The most important aspect of incorporating gratitude into our life is to do so consistently.

This is not a one-day cure all. Gratitude is most impactful when we find time to incorporate it

into each day.

It is normal for us all to feel down at times in our lives. Practicing gratitude doesn’t mean you are not going to have tough days. With all that is happening in the world around us, there will always be days where gratitude is the last thing on our mind. Allow yourself to be human, challenge yourself on the bad days to continue to practice gratitude while also honoring the difficulties you are facing. It is often in the midst of life’s challenges that we have the most to gain from a grateful perspective. Gratitude can energize us to push through and ground us in hope.

Research supports a connection between gratitude and the wellness of our bodies, minds and souls. Just a few minutes a day focused on the things that make our life better can have lasting benefits on our mental and physical health.

You deserve a few minutes a day to focus on positivity, so give gratitude a try.

From kid to kid to community For trio of friends, resale shops important for families during tough times

BY KATHLEEN DUNLAP SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Serena Wailes final customer back in March, as she was preparing to shut down her resale shop in the wake of COVID-19’s early spread, sticks in her memory.

It was a young mother, urgently looking for onesies for her infant son.

“She told me he was in the NICU. She needed onesies with buttons instead of zippers,” Wailes said. “We searched the racks to find what she needed just as I was preparing to lock the doors.”

Fulfilling that mother’s necessity was what Wailes deeply missed during the shut-down of March and April, which affected all locations of Kid-to-Kid resale stores in Arvada, Northglenn, Littleton and Aurora.

Wailes’ partners, Jolene Donahue and Cynthia Radovcich, also anxiously awaited the day when they could re-open their stores to meet their communities’ demands. That happened on May 9.

The three moms each own and operate separate locations of the Kid-to-Kid franchise, but they remain single-minded in their vision: Fulfill their communities’ need for affordable children’s clothing and supplies.

Racks of clothes at the Kid to Kid Arvada store. Kid to Kid stores in Arvada, Northglenn, LIttleton and Aurora reopened in May after being closed for the COVID-19 quarantine. COURTESY PHOTO Each Kid-to-Kid store offers a wide range of affordable children and infant’s apparel, gear, and toys. They even sell maternity wear as they want to include expectant moms’ needs.

The shops also offer a VIP program.

The program includes perks such as discount days and a monthly book club. The book club allows kids to choose a free book once a month from the store’s shelves.

Growing businesses For the past three years, Wailes, Donahue and Radovcich have been working together to grow their businesses.

They began their journey as entrepreneurs by sharing one common bond:

raising children on a budget.

“With my first child, I wanted everything to be new - but then I had twins!”

Wailes said. “Resale is so much better for our pocketbooks.”

“We bounce ideas off each other,” Donahue said. “If one of us does well, then we all do well.”

When restrictions on business operations lifted in May, once again Kid-to-Kid swung open its doors and welcomed patrons back.

“It was a time to adapt and overcome,” Radovcich said.

Her whole family — kids included — pitched in to help her re-open her Aurora location.

Wailes and Donahue simultaneously recruited family and friends to assist them in the re-opening process. Their innovative spirit persisted as they quickly swapped winter gear for summer apparel, set up plexiglass at the register stations to protect customers and employees, and implemented new cleaning protocols.

Since COVID-19 has altered many people’s jobs and income, Donahue said the business meets a critical need.

“People can shop with us and save money without sacrificing style,” Donahue said.

Customers can bring their children’s used clothing in to trade for store credit or get cash back, which every store needs to be successful.

“During the quarantine time, we lost time for buying products, not just selling,” Radovcich said.

Their stores typically stock their

inventory with styles and products which are season-appropriate; however, they will trade and buy any item year-round.

“If you’re cleaning out your closet, we’ll take it! It’s a win-win situation,” Radovcich said. “At Wal-mart or Target, you can’t trade in old clothes or get cash back.”

Not only can patrons find good deals at Kid-to-Kid and get cash back for their goods, the store’s mission positively impacting the environment.

“Active recycling of clothing keeps it out of the landfills,” Donahue said.

“By shopping resale, you reduce your carbon footprint by 67-70% - that’s more impactful than riding your bike to work every day.”

Whether they are helping their patrons find onesies with buttons or a monthly book or cash back, Wailes, Donahue, and Radovcich want to help.

Their warm, inviting stores provide not only a pleasant resale shopping experience, but a gentle reminder that not only do the customers need the shops, but the shops need the customers. These three hard-working moms urge their neighborhoods to stay strong and not be overcome by hard times.

“We are here to benefit our community,” Donahue says.

At her Arvada store, on a busy Saturday afternoon, Wailes watched her 8-year-old daughter give new customers a tour of her shop.

“You have to let your kids inspire you. Don’t let things get you down.”

Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You?

by Sam Stroup

N

ow that you are retired, are you finding yourself struggling to make ends meet on a fixed-income? Did you know a reverse mortgage might be the solution you need to get your financial stress lifted and allow yourself the breathing room you deserve?

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can eliminate your monthly mortgage payment.* Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, the money you receive is tax-free cash to use for any purpose you choose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. With a reverse mortgage, you can access a portion of the equity in your home while you continue to own and live in your home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity.

Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!
