Political tint: Judging how deep blue runs in Adams County Democrats admit there are plenty of ways to judge county’s political fabric BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Judging just by the demographics and statistics, Adams County looks plenty blue. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans. Democrats occupy most state legislative seats, the entire board of county commissioners and all the elected positions in county government. And yet, a Republican won two consecutive elections in a state Senate district previously held by Democrats. Most mayors in the county are members of the GOP and not long ago, in 2014, Republicans won most elected seats in the county, including the board of commissioners and sheriff. “I believe that politics in Adams County is ever-evolving. You can see that in the pockets of partisan areas throughout the county,” said County Commissioner Charles “Chaz” Tedesco, “You have some areas that are red and blue, some areas that are majority red, and some areas that are majority blue.” So, the narrative about politics in Adams County isn’t as monolithic as it appears. There is a west versus east divide and a suburban versus rural split. Politicians and strategists say the type of neighborhood matters, as does the process to select a candidate. A candidate’s work ethic can make all the difference. Those factors aside, the county’s political future could shift when the state redraws legislative districts in 2021. Such anomalies mean that no seat in Adams County is safe, according to longtime political observers. Margins

Metro-area school districts hope for January return Looser quarantine rules to allow for less interruption to in-person learning BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

while Biden received 61 percent this year. Meanwhile, Trump went from 68 percent to 72 percent in eastern Adams County. The 2020 and 2016 at-large county commissioner races followed similar patterns. This year, incumbent commissioners Tedesco and Eva Henry won their reelections by wider margins than their 2016 victories. It was closer in the third county commissioner race between Democrat Lynn Baca and Republican Phil Covarrubias. About 10 percentage points separated the candidates in Thornton, Brighton and Henderson, and Baca ultimately won.

Testing for quarantined students, some preemptive testing in schools and modified quarantine requirements are expected to be the ticket to more consistent in-person classes for several school districts across the Denver metro area, the districts’ leaders said in a Dec. 15 news conference. But even with the expanded leeway to hold traditional classes, superintendents emphasized that if levels of COVID-19 spread remain at their currently high levels, schools may find it impossible to keep enough teachers out of quarantine to consistently keep classes in schools. Chris Gdowski, head of Adams 12 Five Star Schools, expressed hope about the expanded testing capabilities that Gov. Jared Polis discussed at an earlier news conference the same day, along with nodding to new, less stringent quarantine guidance. But “the most important part is to bring down this community transmission,” Gdowski said on the Dec. 15 online news conference. He added: “Without that, if we remain at 1,100 cases per 100,000 (per two weeks) in Adams County,” plans for in-person learning fall apart.

Justices choose seasoned manager for troubled judicial district How Judge Don Quick became the 17th Judicial District’s next chief judge BY MICHAEL KARLIK AND LIAM ADAMS COLORADO POLITICS AND COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA LADAMS@ COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Don Quick answered the phone on Dec. 11, he had no idea it was for an interview to lead the troubled 17th Judicial District with the current and incoming chief justices of the Colorado Supreme Court. “What they told me — why they wanted to talk to me — is that I had a lot of support both with judges and nonjudicial staff,” said Quick, a district court judge in Adams and Broomfield counties. As of Jan. 23, Quick will become the chief judge of the judicial district, following the retirement of his predecessor only a year and a half into her tenure. Quick believed he was merely serving as a reference for another, more senior, judge under consideration. But when that judge turned the job down, Chief Justice Nathan B. Coats and Justice Brian D. Boatright, who will become chief justice next month upon Coats’ retirement, turned to a man with years of management experience. “When the chief justice calls you up and asks you to do something, if you can, you do it,” Quick said. Throughout the fall, multiple news outlets reported on allegations

of retaliation, politicization of the judicial retention process and even a coverup of pornography found on a government laptop in the 17th Judicial District. Chief Judge Emily E. Anderson, who was a central figure in some of the strife over the nonretention of Judge Tomee Crespin, announced her retirement from the bench on Dec. 7. She had assumed the top role just 19 months prior. According to Quick, the climate in the courthouse and public accusations of misconduct were something he brought up with the justices. “That came from me,” he said. “What I want to do is have people that trust each other and work together. … That goal of having a climate where people work together, to me, that’s the right thing at this time.” Stanley L. Garnett, a former district attorney of Boulder County who served at the same time as Quick, cautioned that even if they were inclined toward reform, chief judges are not the supervisor of any individual judge. In the 17th Judicial District, the position appoints key executive personnel, assists in financial duties and oversees the business of the court. As such, Quick’s entreaties for unity may be limited. “One of the problems with chief judge is that you don’t have any actual authority. The judges don’t work for you. You can’t punish them,” he said. Nonetheless, “I assume the chief justice was watching [the reports of misconduct] pretty closely and in the event of a vacancy there, had a

pretty good idea of what he wanted to do,” Garnett added. According to those who know Quick from his work as a former district attorney and chief deputy attorney general, that prior experience made him the ideal choice, even though he is not the most senior judge. “I do think that he will be a unifying figure,” said Brian Mason, the incoming district attorney. “Certainly I have read the stories that have been in the news media over the last several months and it’s clear that it’s time for everyone to come together. And I hope that Judge Quick will succeed in bringing people together.” Ken Salazar, who as Colorado’s attorney general made Quick his deputy, called Quick a problemsolver with an inclusive leadership style. “He has the heart of a public servant. He didn’t look for the job when I asked him to come and join me, but I already knew that he had a stellar reputation, so I recruited him,” said Salazar, who went on to become a Democratic U.S. senator and Cabinet secretary. A hastened appointment

And yet, while those who spoke to Colorado Politics and Colorado Community Media felt positively about Quick, the process by which the justices selected him differed from Anderson’s 2019 selection. Done in little more than one week and without consulting one of the previous contenders for the job, the changing of the guard in the 17th Judicial District demonstrates how informal and varied the protocols are. The state constitution gives the chief justice the sole discretion to select a chief judge, but offers no detail about the process. “Sometimes it was very quick because there was a consensus candidate,” said former Chief Justice Michael L. Bender, who retired in 2014. Mary Mullarkey, who served as chief justice for 12 years prior to Bender, said she was occasionally the subject of lobbying. If she felt the consensus candidate of judges and staff was the wrong person to lead, she would choose another. “It’s political. Not in the partisan sense, but in how people interact,” she said. Quick’s appointment was different from Anderson’s in 2019. That time, there was a more open application process for judges to express interest in the position or support for colleagues. The two contenders for the seat were Anderson and Judge Katherine R. Delgado, the longestserving district judge. Coats ultimately chose Anderson. “I don’t think it’s typical, but it’s not surprising either,” said Bender of the method. This time, Coats and Boatright made multiple calls. One was to another district court judge to ask that person if they wanted the position, Quick said. That judge declined, though. Then they called Quick. He was aware of the interest in the other judge, so he thought the justices’ call was about his colleague. “It came as a surprise to me,” Quick said.

The ensuing conversation was about Quick’s vision for the 17th Judicial District. “That was one of the things the chief justices talked to me about was my management experience and how to move things in a different direction,” he said. Though Quick said the justices’ questions were more general, the open conflict in the 17th affected their final decision. In an email announcing Quick’s appointment to staff and judges in the judicial district, sent one day before notifying the public, Coats wrote: “The 17th has faced internal challenges on top of a pandemic and significant budget restrictions.” Delgado did not receive a call from the chief justices before they made a decision, several sources familiar with the situation have confirmed. They were likely aware of her interest from the 2019 appointment. Coats explained in his Dec. 15 email, “For those of you that were around when I selected Judge Anderson as Chief, I asked all judges and staff in the district to provide feedback on the candidates for chief judge. That feedback has not been forgotten, and I don’t believe that repeating that process now would be beneficial in making my selection.” Bypassing Delgado was surprising to some. “I am extremely surprised and somewhat baffled” that Delgado was not considered, said Christopher Decker, former president of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar. “Judge Delgado has the experience, judicial temperament, knowledge of the law, and existing relationships with other judges to have been the presumptive appointment, if not the consensus choice.” Coats and Boatright declined to comment on the selection, as did Delgado. “Didn’t ruffle a lot of feathers”

Quick worked for the state attorney general’s office from 1999 through 2005. Following the Columbine High School shooting, Gov. Bill Owens created a commission to review law enforcement’s handling of the situation and the factors that could have prevented the tragedy. Quick was one of the commission members. “He had to work under really difficult circumstances with the district attorneys of several judicial districts and the sheriff ’s office,” recalled Salazar, Quick’s boss at the time. Quick estimated that he oversaw roughly 300 employees in the attorney general’s office. In 2005, Quick became the district attorney of the 17th Judicial District, with over 100 employees. Shortly after he reached his term limit, he was the Democratic candidate for attorney general in 2014. “When Don Quick ran for AG, he ran a campaign that didn’t ruffle a lot of feathers — which ultimately served to benefit him in the long run,” said Daniel Aschkinasi, a Democratic political consultant. Following his loss, Gov. John Hickenlooper appointed Quick as a district court judge. Since mid-2019, Quick has been stationed in the Broomfield courthouse. Of the current chief judge, Quick declined to offer criticism.

C R O S S W O R D SCHOOLS P U Z Z L E FROM PAGE 1

When COVID-19 becomes widespread enough — at the levels seen in the metro area in the past few months — staffing and numbers of substitute teachers become a weak link in keeping schools running inperson, the superintendents said. Although schools haven’t been shown to be superspreader environments,” keeping students in school becomes difficult at or above roughly 500-700 new cases per 100,000 people in a county in a two-week time frame, said Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert, referencing data from the Metro Denver Partnership for Health. Like a “house of cards,” in-person school planning “literally begins to collapse” at that point due to widespread quarantines, Ewert said. Virtually all students in Denver and surrounding suburbs moved to remote, or online, classes this fall as coronavirus spread mounted. Superintendents frustrated with the torrent of quarantines in the fall semester heard encouraging news with the recent guidance from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: It provides options for reducing time in quarantine to seven days with a negative test at day five or later, or reducing quarantine to 10 days with no test for those who remain asymptomatic and “are

aware of the need for daily symptom monitoring through the full 14 days of the standard quarantine approach,” a report by the Metro Denver Partnership for Health says. That’s expected to allow students and staff to come back to school much quicker if they get tested. The shortened quarantines may come with slightly higher risk of spreading COVID-19, though. See the introduction on the CDC’s website at tinyurl.com/NewQuarantineGuidance for details. In early October amid backlash from some metro school superintendents, the state public-health department released relaxed guidelines outlining that in some cases, entire classes or larger groups of students no longer need to quarantine in response to a positive COVID-19 while other schools in counties with higher levels of coronavirus spread, classes or cohorts of students still were urged to be quarantined. Under a recent update to the guidance in November, broad quarantines are no longer necessary regardless of the level of virus spread in a county. School districts can use “targeted contact identification,” which entails quarantining those within 6 feet of a person with COVID-19 or symptoms of the disease for 15 minutes or more when both parties are masked. It also requires quarantines when someone was within 12 feet of the individual for 15 minutes or greater when either party was unmasked and indoors.

ELECTION FROM PAGE 1

But in State Senate District 25, the county’s closest race, state Sen. Kevin Priola won reelection after performing well in Brighton and eastern Adams County while his opponent, Democrat Paula Dickerson, earned higher vote percentages in Thornton and Aurora. The 2020 Brighton and Thornton figures are almost identical to 2016, when Priola ran against Democrat Jenise May. Looking at the results, some say the east-west divide is clear. “We’ve had more success in the east. But the challenge has always been the west,” said JoAnn Windholz, chair of the Adams County GOP. Lori Goldstein, chair of Adams County Democrats, agreed. State House District 56, which encompasses Brighton and eastern Adams County, “was definitely drawn to be red,” Goldstein said. The seat is currently held by state Rep. Rod Bockenfeld, a Republican. Goldstein said there is a connection between suburbanization and liberal sentiment in western Adams County. Windholz said smaller and more rural towns tend to be redder. That said, Tedesco said city-level analysis is too general. He prefers to study precinct-level data, which shows red pockets throughout the county. He said he has received fewer votes in newer, more affluent subdivisions where conservative values are more prevalent. Development, Tedesco said, “lends itself to a more blended mix of all the beliefs and traits of each party.”

At-large penalty for GOP

Just because the county board of commissioners is all-Democratic doesn’t mean Republicans lack enthusiasm for the dais. Part of the challenge is that even though commissioners represent a district, voters elect them at-large. “Because we are elected countywide, I think that benefits Democrats in Adams County,” he said. In eastern District 5, where Baca defeated Covarrubias, he received 56 percent of the vote in Brighton and 74 percent in eastern Adams County. Baca was strongest in Aurora, Federal Heights and southwestern Adams County. “People in Thornton might want Democratic leadership. People in Brighton and Bennett might not,” Covarrubias said. He thinks voters should elect commissioners by district, not at-large. Henry, a Democrat, doesn’t disagree. She prefers Democrats on the dais with her, but said, “The rural area is being left out. That’s what I’m seeing is happening.” The current system dates back to 2012 when voters approved ballot measures to increase the number of commissioners from three to five, and for commissioners to run atlarge. Fifty-seven percent of voters approved both measures. The 2012 changes were beneficial for a few reasons, Henry said. They helped put new checks-and-balances on county commissioners and prevent corruption. The changes didn’t immediately ensure Democratic victories, she said. In the 2014 General Election, Republicans won two out of three county commissioner races up for

election. That year, GOP candidates also won elections for county clerk and recorder, treasurer, assessor, and sheriff. It wouldn’t be until 2018 when Democrats retook many of those offices. There are other arguments for at-large commissioner elections. Gini Pingenot, director of external affairs for Colorado Counties, Inc., said commissioners in 90 percent of Colorado’s counties are elected at-large. The reason, she said, is that “Commissioners believe that the best policy comes from a commission consisting of commissioners representing the entire county.” Skills matter

Priola’s victory in state Senate District 25 was surprising to some. “It didn’t seem like it was winnable for any Republican,” said Ryan Lynch, Priola’s strategist. Before Priola, the seat belonged to Democrats. The district’s bluer sections, such as Thornton and Aurora, previously outweighed the redder ones. Mary Hodge, who’s currently Adams County commissioner and was District 25 state senator before Priola, couldn’t have imagined a Republican winning the seat before 2016. The district’s purple streak didn’t hand Priola his victories, though. Many say it was his work ethic. “I’ve worked with dozens and dozens of candidates and I’ve never had one work harder than him,” Lynch said, “The secret weapon is Kevin himself.” Year-round, Priola knocks on doors, calls constituents and attends civic events. He’s intentional about speaking with people one-on-one.

“He’s very personable and very effective on the campaign trail,” Hodge said. Lynch said Priola’s reputation as a bipartisan legislator helped. Goldstein, the county Democratic chair, said Priola’s moderate conservatism appeals to many in the district. Almost everyone agrees, though, that Priola’s enthusiasm is a gamechanger. It’s also why, Hodge said, “It might be difficult for someone not Kevin Priola, as a Republican, to win that seat.” Priola will be term-limited in 2024. “You can’t just recreate him (Priola) in the lab,” Lynch said. In fact, the strategist said Priola’s success can be a model for other purple districts in the metro area. Goldstein also pointed out that the future of District 25 is unknown because Colorado will draw new legislative districts next year. ‘Anything is possible’

Hodge won her first election to the Colorado House of Representatives in 2000. Since then, she said, “you had to be a Democrat to win in Adams County.” Tedesco has lived in the area for most of his life. For as long as he can remember, Adams County has been a blue-collar, industrial area, which has lent to greater support for Democrats. Over time, though, politics in the county has shifted. The 2014 Republican sweep and the 2018 Democrat sweep serve as lessons for both parties. Today, the Republicans are toward the bottom looking up. “Gradually, I think we’re figuring it out a little bit more each time,” said Windholz, the GOP chair.

Happy (Innoculated) New Year

he year 2020 is right on the edge of becoming history. I don’t know about you, but I say good riddance! It’s been a crappy year in too many CROSS ways. CURRENTS Stating the obvious, we have had to cope on a worldwide basis with the impacts of the COVID19 pandemic. Over 1.7 million lives have been lost to its deadly impact and who knows how Bill Christopher many are suffering from the after effects of it. So much heart break and sorrow have been felt. Intertwined with the virus, the economic impacts have been just as brutal in many countries including the United States. Those most in need of relief have had to wait 9-10 months before our insensitive U.S. Congress had the sense which God gave to a goose to distribute the next relief package. How inhumane to allow so many Americans to experience poverty, hunger, homelessness, uncertainty and compromise their dignity. It could have easily been avoided. We have experienced a terrible, bitter explosion of racist actions and white supremacy which is heart-

breaking. Police departments and hostile rioters across the country must share to varying degrees the responsibility in the retaliation and damage caused. Can we rebound from these experiences and a racist President? The vicious forest fires have wreaked havoc with so many people’s lives due to global warming. Plus, in Westminster, we have had our own set of political unrest with issues to confront. Like I said, it has been a crappy year. Hope prevails in the New Year

So, we look to a brighter future both as a country and as members of our world. One of our traditional Christmas carols mentions a “weary world”. Yes, it is true, but light is shining on the horizon. Life-saving vaccines have been researched, produced and distribution is underway to counter the COVID-19 virus. Thank the Lord and thank the scientists! There is a degree of optimism in the thought that the economy will gradually return as more people receive the vaccine inoculations. Restaurants, bars, movie theaters, live entertainment and hotel/conference center will reopen to some degree. People will feel safer and more confident in traveling which will help the airlines, hotels and the travel industry.

With these various operations, employment will gradually come back. However, we must acknowledge that there were many casualties for businesses during the pandemic which won’t be coming back. Internet retail sales will continue to blossom as we as consumers have become more accustomed to on-line shopping thanks to the pandemic. Businesses which have previously relied on office space will give careful thought to how much “brick and mortar” space will be needed for their future operations. Office space leasing will suffer. Live entertainment and sporting events to expand

Entertainment related businesses, like Broadway musicals and dramatic productions, will return with traveling shows coming to the DCPA venues. Local musicians will reappear all over, since we love live entertainment. As I said, movie theatres will reopen. However, so many of us have gotten hooked on Netflix and Amazon Prime streaming. It will be interesting to see how this sorts itself out once things get rolling again. Professional sports with live audiences will come back to varying degrees. Denver loves its sports teams; especially the Broncos. College sports will rebound as well and high school competitive sports will return

to increased attendance to the joy of students and parents alike. Traveling will rebound after being cooped up

Traveling both nationally and internationally will jump back big time as people have a pent up desire to travel again. Over a year of being cooped up, so many of us are eager to hit the road or take a jet plane somewhere. Of course, travelers will need to ponder the safety of their destinations. Will the pandemic be subsiding or under control in Mexico, South America, Africa and other questionable locales? It’s not likely that all parts of the world will be on the same timetable of receiving the vaccine and getting it fully administered. Perhaps there will be an unusually high demand for travel within the United States. Educational, religious and non-profits to benefit

Education at all levels will return to in-class teaching. However, colleges may well decide to opt to use virtual learning tools more than prior to the pandemic, given its economies. With youth back in school on a fulltime basis, it will make for a much better situation for working parents. This will help resolve the frustration,

Reality-based greetings as another year begins

This column was debated. Ultimately, I decided against more hope-filled thoughts. There will be plenty of those coming at us from other sources. Like it or not, Americans want “to have their cake and eat it too.” Growing up, I never understood what that meant. I do now.

Arts and culture need you as our community tries to recover

ith vaccines arriving in Colorado, it seems that the end to our global pandemic might finally be at hand. But for arts and culture organizations across the Denver Metro area, recovery from the necessary public health closures will be long and for some, may not happen at all. A recent survey of pandemic impacts on nearly 250 arts, science and culture organizations funded by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District show the disaster. About 86 percent responding said the economic impacts were moderately or extremely severe. And 70 percent answered that they were only moderately confident or not confident at all that their organizations would survive. About half of the organizations responding reported they had four or less months of operating reserves to see them through. The job impacts felt by the creative sector, like many other service sectors, were also dramatic with one third of the roughly 12,000 jobs lost to

In 2018, for example, arts and culture organizations in the Denver metro area contributed $15.4 million in cultural tourist economic impact, $19.7 million in payroll taxes and $8.2 million in seat and sales taxes. The impact of the sector ripples out to restaurants, hotels and other service industry areas. The importance of the health of the sector has already been widely acknowledge by our community leaders recently as well. State lawmakers included approximately $7.5 million in pandemic relief specifically for the arts and creative sector. Our Adams County officials contributed alongside the City of Denver and the City of Boulder and leading corporations like

PNC Bank, to a holiday giving campaign aimed at encouraging all who can to support their favorite arts and culture organizations through donations, gifts of classes or memberships or shopping at cultural giftshops. Anyone interested can find help getting started at Arts through it All. But you likely are already thinking of the value of the creative organizations you love. Maybe it is a favorite holiday tradition like seeing the Nutcracker or a Christmas Carole. Or maybe it is a trip with your children or grandchildren to the zoo or Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Possibly, you are thinking of a live music experience or favorite art exhibit. For each one of us, the experience is particular and deeply personal. So for those of us who are able, now is the time to act to help save these memories and future plans. Our sense of connection and wonder is what’s at stake for each of us.

CHRISTOPHER

nel in all the hospitals and medical facilities who worked tirelessly to save COVID patients or to be the last person to hold their hand and say goodbye to them. We are thankful for the random acts of kindness which strangers as well as neighbor/friends have bestowed on other human beings. Simply gestures such as grocery shopping for a neighbor or dropping off a casserole or just a phone call to cheer up a friend are all priceless. As we approach the New Year, we thank God for surviving the virus as well as saying prayers for those who we lost during the year whether they were COVID-related or not. It’s been an especially tough year regarding the number of friends and former fellow workers to which we have had to say goodbye. We are optimistic that 2021 will be a much better year even though the virus will still be a threat. My wish is that every American who can will get the vaccine inoculations. Let’s be as safe as we can be as we begin to transition to a less confining life style. May the darkness that has prevailed in so many people around the world during the COVID season, be lifted as joy, happiness and healthier times come our way. Happy

New Year!

depression and other socialization issues which became all too prevalent during the many months of virtual learning especially for the younger students. Also, congregations and parishes will be returning to their brick and mortar facilities. People will be able to return to enjoying each other’s presence and social interaction. Non-profit organizations will be able to return to fundraising activities which bring people together in sizes which were prohibited during the height of the virus. With gratitude

As we reflect back on what we experienced from March through the end of 2020, it sharpens our appreciation and gratitude for so many things and people. Just looking at our everyday lives, I am thankful for the grocery workers, U.S. Postal Service employees, public safety personnel, school teachers and all the other people who we meet and are served by. Certainly, our hearts and our hugs go to the front line medical person-

object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes.” It makes enjoyable reading, doesn’t it? Like a lot of year-ending, yearbeginning philosophical aphorisms. Searching for inspirational quotes, I found hundreds. I refer them to you if you need some Hallmark. The silver lining has been a Great Reminder of the values I consider most important that spare no crook or deceiver. The silver lining has been a Great Reminder of the urgency and beauty of Life, and the responsibilities of its ownership. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a fas-

cinating character. He was referred to as “the prince of paradox.” According to Time magazine, “He made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories — first turning them inside out.” I am old, tired, anxious and restless. You? Chesterton said, “The old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man might stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.” What it comes down to, at least for me, is something Warren Zevon said, “Enjoy every sandwich.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Icing on the lake

Veterans, novices take to Evergreen Lake for winter fishing BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dennis Jones of Westminster baits a hook while his son Corey Jones holds the rod as they were ice PHOTO BY DEB HURLEY BROBST fishing on Evergreen Lake on Dec. 14.

t’s 12 degrees as the sun rises on Dec. 14, as about a dozen ice-fishers make their way onto Evergreen Lake. Armed with gear, provisions and equipment, the men and women are ready to brave the cold, hoping to catch a few trout. For some, ice-fishing is a new experience, while others are veterans of the winter activity. Some bring popup tents to keep out the winter weather, and on weekends, Evergreen Lake looks like a tent city thanks to all of the ice-fishers. Friends Ray Trujillo and Michael Romero set up their ice-fishing spot, choosing not to bring too much gear. Romero calls himself a fishing addict, though he’s new to ice-fishing. “I’m not going to let the ice stop me,” he said. Trujillo and Romero like coming to Evergreen to icefish because it’s a beautiful spot and the ice freezes sooner here than down the hill. Nearby, Dennis Jones of Westminster and his family set up their spot. Dennis was practically born ice-fishing. A native of Madison, Wisconsin, he joined family mem-

bers in the sport often in his youth. While he’s lived in Colorado 40 years, Dec. 14 was only his second time on Evergreen Lake, bringing his wife Carol and son and daughter-in-law Corey and Vanessa along, and all were part of the action. Carol Jones said the secret to weathering the cold was dressing in layers, and masks helped a lot to keep out the cold. She explained that her husband was a great fishing guide and patient as he taught his family about the sport. The Joneses had a popup tent with a small space heater, and the women settled in there with their poles. Vanessa Napier Jones added: “He is very prepared. We brought a lot of stuff with us,” including plenty of hot coffee, soup and sandwiches to get them through the morning. Dennis planned to stay in one spot for about 30 minutes, and if they weren’t having much luck, they would move on to another spot. Jones barked orders, getting everyone and everything situated, teaching along the way. It wasn’t long before they saw the fruits of their labors: a 12-inch rainbow trout. “This guy knows his stuff,” Corey Jones said of his dad, while Dennis noted, “It’s a great way to start the day.”

Finding calm behind the wheel Dear Ask A Therapist,

Seems like more people drive like maniacs now more than ever and it’s really getting on my nerves. How can I practice coping skills when I am driving in heavy traffic so I don’t get so honked off ? Dear Reader,

If you are looking to increase your faith in humanity, the highways and byways are hardly the places to do it. Some people do things behind the wheel of a car they would not dare do in person. For example, have you ever had someone rush right up behind you in the grocery line and breathe down your neck until you move along your way? Has someone ever screamed expletives at you for sauntering down the sidewalk while walking your dog? Has anyone side-swiped you at the bookstore while you were browsing for that specific title? These displays of behavior in the face-to-face realm are less common, whereas aggression on the road is an everyday hassle. I am sure most drivers are perfectly nice and respectable in other contexts, but behind the shield of their vehicle, the worst comes out.

To start, if you find anxiety while driving has disrupted your daily routines or contributed to other long-term health conditions, please speak with your physician or a therapist. For those of us with a milder upset Lucie Brossard over road rage in all its manifestations, there are some concrete things people can do to take matters into their own hands and improve the quality of their time in the driver’s seat. Before we can talk about coping, safety on the road needs to be established. How will coping tools help if we are joining in on the hazardous antics by hurling through space without any presence of mind? I am not here to provide coping tools we can superimpose on outlandish driving practices, but first and foremost to slow us down so we can regain some self-possession while maneuvering that hunk of metal. 1. RESPECT TIME: Leave five to ten minutes early anytime you are venturing out in your vehicle. This may mean you have to get out of bed

ASK A THERAPIST

earlier for your morning commute. If you need to gas up on the way to your destination, leave an extra 15 minutes or better yet, gas up the day before. 2. SLOW DOWN: Go the speed limit. With no traffic tickets, your bank account will thank you and you could save a life, including your own. Notice those speed limit signs and follow them. 3. RESPECT OTHERS: Shift into a “put others first” mindset. Look for opportunities to cut others a break on the road. Try to be kind to someone else at least three times during every trip, more times if you are taking a road trip. Ignore people who are less kind, not giving them the power to ruin your traveling. 4. TAKE IT EASY: When on the highway, stay in the right lane unless you are passing. This will be a breeze if you are following the speed limit because few others adhere to it and they will all be passing you. 5. GIVE SPACE: Allow several car lengths between you and the person in front of you. Think of this as allowing others ample room and protecting yourself from sudden changes in the traffic flow. Another gift to yourself and others. 6. FOCUS ON YOURSELF: As much as you might like to, you cannot

control or impact others on the road. Stay oriented to yourself and your own frame of mind and how you are doing. As an experiment, you could rate your mood on a scale of one to ten before and after the trip. See how you did and if your mood significantly tanked, ask yourself why. What could you have done differently to keep your mood more balanced? What tripped you up and how will you do better next time? Did you notice I did not recommend visualizing angels, or deep breathing, or using affirmations to cope? Of course, if these things help you, use them. But if you are hurling down the road at 80 miles per hour, these band-aids may not provide much solace. In the end, looking at how we are behaving while we are navigating traffic by making slight changes to our routines and habits may just be the best way to impact our thoughts and feelings about “people who drive like maniacs”.

Hackney signs on with Kansas Wesleyan for softball BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The choice of college for Riverdale Ridge High School softball player Destiny Hackney was pretty simple. “I chose Kansas Wesleyan because it was the right fit for me academically and athletically,” she said. “Many of the colleges that contacted me do not allow athletes to play a sport and be in the nursing program. This gave me the opportunity to do both things I love.” Hackney wasn’t able to take a

campus visit because of the pandemic. She drew interest from multiple schools in Colorado, Nebraska and North Central University in Minneapolis. Hackney “I always knew Kansas Wesleyan was, deep down, the school I wanted to go to, but it was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make,” Hackney said. “Other schools were giving me good opportunities as well. I

Horizon’s Diblasi commits to Mines STAFF REPORT

The Colorado School of Mines announced that Grayston Diblasi, a wrestler at Horizon High School, verbally committed to the engineering school. Diblasi competed for three years at Park Hill High School in Missouri before attending Horizon High School as a senior. At Park Hill, Diblasi was a two-time state finalist and finished fourth in 2019. His three-year record was 98-21. Thirty-seven of those wins came in his junior season. Diblasi was a two-time captain

of the wrestling team. Park Hill’s squad earned state podium finishes in each of Diblasi’s years in school. He was a 2-18 KC Stampede All-American and a 2019 National High School Coaches Association AllAmerican. He was a four-time Missouri national team memDiblasi ber and a four-time freestyle and Greco-Roman state champion. Diblasi wants to major in mechanical engineering.

researched all the schools and, at the end of the day, I felt KWU was the perfect fit for me and would help me be successful for the next four years.” Hackney batted .400 for the Ravens this season. Ten of her 26 hits went for extra bases. She drove in 14 runs as RRHS advanced to the quarterfinals of the state 4A softball tournament. “The recruiting process during the pandemic was very hard because I couldn’t go visit the schools. A lot of the communication was

from calling or emailing the coaches instead,” Hackney said. “By doing virtual tours, it didn’t allow me to get the actual feel of what it would be like to go to some of the schools interested in me.” Hackney wants to study nursing and, in the future, work in a children’s hospital as a neonatal nurse. She’s also going through a mix of emotions as she readies for college. “Because I’m ending one chapter and starting a new one in a different state,” she said. “But I’m excited for the opportunities given to me.”
