New COVID-19 hospitalizations in Colorado are decreasing

According to the Colorado Department Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), new hospitalizations for COVID-19, the key statistic to determining if the oft-mentioned curve is flattening, were highest in the five days between March 29 and April 2, the day we saw 125 new hospitalizations in 24 hours.

Since April 3, the numbers have continued to go down.

Three of the six days from April 3 to April 9 saw more than 50 new hospitalizations and three saw fewer than 50. What is most encouraging, though it is too soon to draw any conclusions, is that on each of the last two days for which the state has posted data as of this writing, April 10 and 11, there were 15 or fewer new hospitalizations.

That is what “flattening the curve” looks like, as long as the trend keeps going in that direc-

well as fatalities, at individual residential and non-hospital health care facilities. CDPHE has committed to reporting out that information on its website beginning April 15.

Tri-County Health Department tells us that as of April 12 at 7:00 p.m., COVID-19 has claimed the life of 40 Arapahoe County residents and 14 in nearby Douglas County. The number of positive cases of the disease, among those who have been able to be tested, is 1,097 cumulative (including many who have recovered) in Arapahoe County and 293 in Douglas County.

The population of our state is now approximately 5,800,000.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the 2019 population as 656,690 in Arapahoe County and 351,154 in Douglas County.

tion over the coming days and weeks.

Of the 37,153 Coloradans who have been tested for COVID-19 across the state, 7,303 have been deemed to have the disease, a positive test rate of 20 percent. A continued concern, however, is that the total number of people who are reported to have been tested constitute six-tenths of one percent of the total population of our state.

As of April 12, 290 souls have lost their lives to the novel coronavirus in Colorado.

Alarm bells are ringing across the country about the number of outbreaks at residential and non-hospital health care facilities. In our state, the number of those outbreaks was reported as 37 one week ago and has been rising rapidly, now reported by CDPHE as being up to 68. What is not known is the number of residents housed at individual facilities, which can range from a few to hundreds, and the number of cases, as

Stacia Potter Norris has been identified as the noncustodial parent suspected of the kidnapping of her four children from Riverton, WY.

the evening of April 10 received an Amber Alert on her phone shortly after 7:00 p.m. about four children who had been kidnapped in Wyoming and were suspected of being somewhere in Colorado. She was unfamiliar with the model of the vehicle described in the Amber Alert and decided to Google it. Moments later, she walked over to her window and noticed a vehicle parked outside that fit the description of the car in the Amber Alert. Just then, she saw a woman get into the vehicle and leave.

When she saw that the Wyoming license plate was also a match, she immediately dialed 911.

The witness, who gave us her name but prefers to remain anonymous, told The Villager, “Lots of Greenwood Village police officers showed up very quickly. I’m glad that I could be a part of it and that the kids are fine. People have helped me in my life and I am happy that I was in a position to help someone else.”

News reports from Wyoming identified Stacia Potter-Norris, the non-custodial mother of the children as having taken them.

The Fremont County, WY Sheriff’s Office told The Villager that they were taken on April 5 while in the custody of Child Protective Services and a report was filed about the incident that day. It is unclear why the Amber Alert was not issued until April 10. We have reached out to the detective on the case in Fremont County for that information.

According to the detailed account of the successful recovery of the four children that The Villager obtained from Greenwood Village Police (GVPD) Commander Joe Gutgsell, immediately after receiving the 911 call, GVPD swarmed the area and quickly located the grey Dodge Journey from the Amber Alert in the Lowe’s Hardware Store parking lot at 9100 E. Peakview Avenue, just north of Motel 6. It had been abandoned.

When GVPD Commanders Jones and Beachem reviewed video footage that Lowe’s management provided them, they were able to see an adult male get out of the Dodge Journey and enter a red truck, which then left. A short time later, that same truck was seen in video footage from the motel. It was parked nearby.

Mary Sansing, GVPD 911 center supervisor obtained background information about the mother and adult male believed to be accompanying her, including photos, from Freemont County, WY authorities. The information included a report that Continued on page 15

equipment (PPE) needed to protect doctors, nurse and support personnel. The Arapahoe Emergency Management Team continues to assist in finding and disbursing this lifesaving protective equipment. In addition, this Team is converting the Arapahoe County fairground exhibit hall into a 50-bed temporary hospital to help relief the overcrowding of regional hospitals. This facility can be expanded to accommodate a total of 150 patients, if needed.

We all must acknowledge the responsible and courageous efforts of our first responders, medical staff and Arapahoe County employees who continue to work in dangerous cir-

cumstances to provide continuity of services to protect and provide medical and mental health services to the people of Arapahoe County.

All of these extraordinary services currently being provided by these true heroes in saving the lives of the residents of the county and state, will not stem the flow of the increasing threat of further growth of the Covid-19 virus.

We must all do are part by adhering to the social distance restriction and improve our personal hygiene procedures and wear a protective face mask to help reduce personal exposure to the deadly virus.

The deaths attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic continue to rise across the Nation. The CDC reports as of April 9, worldwide, 1.8 million individuals have contracted the Covid-19 virus killing over 110,700. Nationwide over 537,210 have contracted the virus leaving nearly 21,428 dying as a result of the Covid-19 virus.

In Arapahoe County, over 1,000 cases of Covid-19 have been reported with the loss of 226 patients.

The Governor has extended the stay-at-home order to April 26 because most projections, supported by medical experts, predict Colorado has not

reached the apex of infection cycle for further Covid-19 cases. The concern among the medical community is the slowness of Covid-19 testing; only medical staff and individuals that exhibit symptoms are being tested.

Most medical experts agree that many people can be asymptomatic and still spread the Covid-19 virus. All experts agree that an increase in testing on a larger scale is needed immediately in order to definitively determine when it is safe to lift the stayat home order.

Reflections on COVID-19 There will come a time hopefully sooner rather than later, when COVID-19 will be a memory, if not a cautionary tale, and we will return to our normal daily lives.

In the meantime, what have we learned, and where do we go from now until then?

First of all, the quarantine will end, and we may in fact come out much the wiser for it, due to the coronavi- State Rep. Richard rus serving as Champion House a huge wake- District 38 up call on multiple levels. For example, according to a recent article from The American Thinker, consider these key salient points: 1) sanitation precautions will be permanently incorporated into all facets of our culture; 2.) long accepted foreign business practices will be drastically altered, highlighting where we’ve been most vulnerable (e.g., ninety-five percent of our antibiotics were manufactured in China); 3.) we will begin to increase domestic production, increase research on improved quality, and increase security for our country — a trifecta that blunts the advantages China has sought to use against the U.S. In other words, a full alteration of cultural norms will ensue in the aftermath of the coronavirus which will encompass our country’s industrial, health, intelligence, educational, military, financial, and strategic planning.

Next, amidst the fear of spreading and catching the virus, the importance of a healthy immune system is emerging, if not coming front and center in terms of what we can do to prevent serious illness by bolstering our immune system. But first, it’s important to know that obesity can be a major risk factor for those infected with COVID-19, and that a high number of people with COVID-19 who have complications are obese, and/or have complications from diabetes and hypertension. With about one-third of the U.S. adult population being overweight, obese, and/or diabetic, these metabolic conditions put millions at risk from COVID-19.

Doggone tough times ahead

My good neighbor Chet came over to ask if I would like to go for a walk with him. I donned by baseball cap and away we went down the street. We had hardly gone one block before encountering other walkers with masks and dogs.

One lady with a young golden Labrador female puppy wagged her little tail at us as we approached. We both admired this adorable little creature who didn’t know us but was eager to lick our hands as we petted her precious little golden body.

Both Chet and I have lost our dogs in recent years and we long for their trusting companionship.

Neither of us will probably ever own another dog, Chet still has a cat, but owning a dog brings major responsibilities tantamount to raising and caring for a child.

Maybe I can house-sit a dog from one of my three daughters.

I’m reminded of the border Collie dogs we had on that cattle ranch that I write about in “Tales of the West.” The dogs were

very smart and useful around the ranch. (More stories to come) We’re all living in this new “Twilight Zone” of uncertainty about the future. Many pundits are making many predictions, mostly gloomy, but Americans are very resourceful and resilient.

I think we have to be patient as our state and national leaders gather the best and brightest, to find a vaccine and devise a way to restore the economy.

There will be some civil unrest, back seat driving, and armchair quarterbacks stating what should have been done, and when. Looking back is easy,

moving forward is the new challenge for our leaders. We don’t need critics and naysayers, but American genius.

As a nation we’re going to incur a massive amount of new debt that is already staggering.

The strong economy seemed on track to absorb the debt and hold down inflation. That was yesterday.

We’ll keep the local news flowing and do what we can to assist local businesses and non-profits to survive.

Maybe in the end, we’ll all have to get a new dog. Keep sending us your news, letters and keep reading this newspaper.

Received a nice email from Mark Metevia, who has introduced me to the Denver Monaco Optimist Club and is a longtime friend of the family.

I note on his memo the following quote from Voltaire that goes like this: “We spend the first half of our lives compromising our health to gain wealth, … and the second half… spending our wealth to regain our health”.

Timely message as we all attempt to stay healthy and avoid the virus. No need to cast blame on anyone, at least not yet. I think our nation has done remarkably well fighting a war against a foe that we don’t fully understand, but we know is lethal and wants to kill us all. Looking backwards it is easy to be a naysayer, but I think our leadership from here to the White House has been admirable. *** We will have some work to accomplish getting back to near normal. I regret that handshakes may be a casualty of this health episode. If you travel in the Middle East you find that many Moslem women won’t shake hands with an infidel, even the few in powerful roles. *** Then there is the joke about the wife that see her husband depressed after two weeks of lockdown, still peering through the window. She wants to do something to cheer him up. She sees him with tears streaming down his cheeks and says, “Maybe I should let him in the house, but rules are rules.” *** Received another letter regarding a long-time friend, Charlie Arbogast, Director of Advancement” at St. Mary’s Academy.” This prize Cherry Hills gem has been named a “Blue Ribbon” school , making it one of the best in the nation. Helping elevate and maintain this stature for St. Mary’s Academy has been Charlie Arbogast. The ultimate fundraiser, who has

toiled in the school’s trenches for over 22 years. Academy President Bill Barrett has announced Charlie’s retirement at the end of the school year, which may be now. I hope that the Academy will name something on campus in his honor.

On another note, Charlie and I were set to attend the Rockies/ Dodger baseball game at the end of March, an annual event for the two of us to enjoy a baseball game together. He is an avid Oriole fan, along with the Rockies. I’m a baseball novice growing up in Colorado where we didn’t have big league baseball until the last innings of professional baseball.

Charlie asked me if I wanted something to eat and drink as we arrived at the game. I say “No,” I’ll wait until halftime. He never said a word. Along about the 7th inning I realized that there was no halftime. I’m wrapped up with my beloved Broncos and halftimes.

This year’s game got canceled, but at the bottom of President’s announcement appears a sticky note, “News for you, winding up my days at SMA. Looking like we’ll have to reschedule our Rockies game.

Happy Easter, Cheers, Charlie.” What a class act my friend Charlie! *** B.T. Galloway, our subscription and front office manager also doubles as our baseball writer with full game credentials.

He attends many of the games and writes a very informative Villager baseball column. So far, “The boys of summer” have not arrived and the season may start in Phoenix soon without spectators. I would think that the games would be televised so we can cheer for the home team. Here’s the most famous baseball poem of all time. I had to memorize parts of this poem in the fifth grade along with all of “Flanders’s Field.

Casey at the bat

By Ernest Lawrence Thayer 1863-1940 The outlook wasn’t brilliant

for the Mudville nine that day: The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play.

And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrow did the same, A pall like silence fell upon the patrons of the game.

A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest clung to the hope which springs eternal in the human breast.

They thought, “If only Casey could but get a whack at that…

We’d put up even money now, with Casey at the bat.”

But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake, and the former was a hoodoo, while the latter was a cake; So, upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat, for there seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat.

But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all, and Blake, the much despised, tore the cover off the ball; And when the dust had lifted, and men saw what had occurred, there was. Jimmy safe at second and Flynn a hugging third.

Then from five thousand throats and more there rose a lusty hell; It rumbled through the valley, it rattled in the dell; It pounded on the mountain and recoiled upon the flat; For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.

There was ease in Casey’s manner as he stepped into his place; There was pride in Casey’s bearing and a smile lit Casey’s face.

And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat, No strange in the crowd could doubt ‘twas Casey at the bat.

Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt; Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt; Then while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip, Defiance flashed in Casey’s eye, a sneer curled Casey lip.

And now the leather covered

sphere came hurtling through the air, And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there.

Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped“That ain’t my style,” said Casey. “Strike one!” the umpire said.

From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar, Like the beating of the storm waves on a stern and distant shore; “Kill him! Kill the umpire!” shouted someone on the stand; And it’s likely they’d killed him had not Casey raised his hand.

With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone; He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on; He signaled to the pitcher, and once more the dun sphere flew; But Casey still ignored it and the umpire said, “Strike two!”

“Fraud!” cried the maddened thousands, and echo answered “Fraud!”

But one scornful look from Casey and the audience was awed.

They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain, And they knew that Casey wouldn’t let that ball go by again.

The sneer is gone from Casey’s lip, his teeth are clenched in hate, He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate; And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go.

And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey’s blow.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout, But there is no joy in Mudville – mighty Casey has struck out.

Dedicated to Charlie Arbogast.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CARES ACT Late last week the senate passed and the President signed the CARES stimulus package designed to, among many things, curb the financial turmoil created in the wake of the Coronavirus. This $2.2 trillion, 800+ page legislation offers meaningful help to investors, business owners, and those directly impacted by layoffs or the virus.

Using several resources, we’ve compiled a summary of key points from recent legislation that you might find relevant and helpful. Here are some of the highlights: RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS: Waived RMDs – Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) will be waived for 2020 for retirees and beneficiary IRA Retirement Accounts, regardless of impact from Coronavirus. This applies to inherited retirement accounts, including inherited ROTHs. No Early Withdrawal Penalties – The early withdrawal penalty of 10 percent for those under 59.5 taking a distribution will be waived (up to $100k). The income tax for those distributions can be spread out over three years.

Retirement Loan Amounts Increased – The available loan amount from a qualified retirement plan has increased from $50k to $100k for 2020.

Requirements – To qualify for these options, one must be experiencing lost income due to quarantine, furlough, laid off, or had hours significantly reduced due to the Coronavirus or lack of childcare. (We suggest keeping good records.)

CASH PAYMENTS & UNEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE: Government Checks – All U.S. residents with adjusted gross income less than $99k (single) or $198k (joint) will be eligible for “recovery” payments from the government. Those with an AGI of less than $75k are eligible to receive the full amount of $1,200 plus $500 per dependent child. The amount is reduced by $5 per $100 for income above $75k, fully phasing out at $99k. This is based on either your 2018 or 2019 tax return. Payments are not considered taxable income.

Unemployment Increased – Provides an additional $600 per week per applicant for up to four months. Stretches benefits another 13 weeks

through Dec. 31, 2020 for those who remain unemployed after exhausting state benefits.

Unemployment Benefits for Gig Workers & Freelancers – Typically these groups cannot apply for unemployment. Now funding is available specifically to help these groups.

CHARITABLE GIVING: Deduct $300 in Cash Contributions – Available, regardless of whether the individual itemizes deductions.

Changes in Limits – For individuals, the 50 percent of AGI is suspended. For corporations, the 10 percent limit has been increased to 25 percent.

MORTGAGES: Homeowners – Those with federally-backed mortgages may postpone payments if you can prove financial hardship. The initial postponement may be granted for up to 180 days, with an additional 180 available by request. Foreclosure cannot be initiated for at least 60 days beginning March 18.

Renters – For 120 days, landlords cannot pursue

eviction if the property is backed by a federal loan, HUD, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Landlords cannot charge any fees associated with non-payment for this time period.

Provisions – Options available for employee retention tax credits, delaying payroll tax payments, temporary increases in limits on interest deductions, and many others.

STUDENT LOANS:

TAXES:

Payment Suspension – Payment automatically suspended for federal student loans through Sept. 30 2020 with no interest accruing or penalties.

Tax Day Now July 15 – Delayed tax day until mid July, including the ability to contribute to IRAs for 2019.

Employer Assistance – Employers can make tax-exempt contributions toward their employee’s student loan payments.

Insurance Coverage – The bill requires private insurance to cover coronavirus related expenses including testing, treatments, and vaccines.

Provisions – Offers payment or reimbursement for several specific situations.

For example, payments to students unable to complete work-study programs.

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS: Loans Available – Many small businesses are eligible for relief loans from the Small Business Association.

Depending on your situation and the use of the funds, repayment may be deferred or altogether forgiven.

Relief for Existing Loans – Money available to cover up to six months of existing loans with the SBA.

HEALTHCARE:

This is an unusual and volatile time for everyone personally, professionally, and financially. When you have questions about how the new legislative changes apply to you, then we encourage you to call our team, your CPA, and/or your banker. We are available to collaborate with them to help you make wise choices. Although our team is working remotely, we are available to connect with you via phone, email, and online/ digital meeting. We are here to help.

Last summer, Dawn Richard, an 11-year resident of Bataleur at the Preserve in Greenwood Village, attended a fundraiser for Best Friends Animal Society, a 35-year old organization formed to stop the killing of unwanted pets in animal shelters around the country. It is home to the largest sanctuary in the United States, “a haven to around 1,600 animals on any given day and a healing oasis like no other,” located in the red rock canyons of Southern Utah.

That evening, Dawn met an affectionate chihuahua puppy and fell in love. He came from a litter found in a home that had more than 50 animals living in squalor.

Three out of the four puppies in the litter were born with no front legs. The chihuahua took to Dawn as quickly as she did to him, laying peacefully on her lap and snuggling his head close to her. She first fostered him and then adopted him a month later, naming the puppy, “Hector Comacho (a true fighter).” His friends call him Nacho. Now full grown, he weighs just under five pounds.

On almost any nice day, you can find Dawn and Nacho sitting on the front lawn of the home in Bataleur she shares with her husband Terry Fenner and daughter Talia Richard-Lande, a junior at Cherry Creek High School. Nacho loves playing with other dogs as they come by on their walks, and especially loves Hunter, a black Labrador rescued from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and now residing across the street. Hunter is always very gentle with his little pal, who loves to lean against him.

We asked Dawn what drew her to Nacho? She said, “He was so sweet and I thought, who’s going to take care of him?” Nacho, who was only two pounds when he came home, sleeps through the night and never has potty accidents. He loves watching television, especially any shows with animals. “The

Dawn shared that caring for Nacho is different than caring for an able-bodied pet because he can’t be left on his own. He is able to hop around on his back legs and could fall down the stairs. He can’t get on and off furniture by himself. When the family leaves the house, Nacho stays in a play pen. Dawn, Terry, and Talia recently acquired a device custom-made for Nacho that he can be strapped into so he can “walk” around independently using only his hind legs. He is learning how to use it.

One of Nacho’s siblings was adopted by a family from Aurora, who named him Dino. The siblings have play dates whenever possible and adore each other.

If you’re ever driving through Bataleur and you see Dawn and Nacho on the front lawn, stop by and say hello.

They are both very warm and friendly.

The Villager would like to thank neighbor David Zapiler, Hunter’s owner, for introducing us to Dawn Richard and Nacho.

Centennial named “safest city”

Centennial has been named Colorado’s “safest city” amoung municipalities with more than 100,000 population. The designation was made in a recent report from SafeWise.

The designation of Centennial was released by SafeWise in its sixth annual Safest Cities in Colorado report.

According to resources within the city, its population is currently 111,646.

A press release of the city stated that the ranking “reflects the exceptional level of service provided by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office,” which, pursuant to a contract between that office and the city, provides law enforcement services for Centennial.

The same press release also indicated that the designation “is due in part to the dedicated efforts of neighborhood watch programs and regular citizens staying alert.” Many subdivisions in Centennial have neighborhood watch groups.

Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko said that “being a safe community is always a priority for the City and being recognized as one of the safest in the state is rewarding.”

Additionally, she stated, “I hope that the citizens of Centennial find some assurance in our continued efforts <to keep the city safe>, especially in these times of uncertainty,” referring to the coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier this year, Centennial ranked No. 5 on LendEDU’s list of Safest Cities in Colorado.

Be safe. Stay Strong.

Partnering up to feed health care professionals and patients

BY VIRGIL W. SHOUSE III PRESIDENT EXCELL FUND BROKERAGE AND DEVELOPMENT, LLC

My partner, George Karas and I are feeding health care professionals and their patients at Stride Community Health Centers through George’s restaurant, Citron Bistro.

We sent 70 meals to a clinic in our shopping center in Aurora today and will do the same plus 70 more to another clinic location.

Feeding the frontlines

There’s a need for 300 lunches a day for our healthcare

workers who are at the front line while this virus is going on.

So far, George and I are fund-

ing it personally. We will exceed our capacity soon and are reaching out to friends, colleagues and

investors.

This helps three sectors, the restaurant industry, healthcare and the needy with one stroke.

Also for the donors who want to declare a charitable contribution for 2020 there is a In-Kind Donation form.

If you would like to buy a meal for a healthcare worker, you can pay through PayPal by visiting our website at citron bistro.com, clicking on the “Feeding the Frontlines - read more” link and clicking on the Donate button at the bottom of the article.

All residential facilities are more vulnerable to COVID-19

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

As Governor Jared Polis reminded us at a press conference on April 10, advanced age and diminished lung capacity are primary co-morbidities for the highly contagious COVID-19. Thus, it comes as no surprise that residents of rehabilitation centers recovering from surgery and other conditions, along with traditional nursing homes and assisted living facilities, are at extremely high risk for this disease.

According to data The Villager received from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, as of April 12 there were 16 residential and non-hospital health care facilities in Arapahoe County that were deemed to have suffered an outbreak of COVID-19.

Tri-County Health Department told us that an outbreak is defined as two or more confirmed cases.

Of the 16 facilities in Arapahoe County, at least three are single-family-sized homes of about 3,000 square feet or less. Although COVID-19 is most dangerous where large groups of people live together, it spreads so easily that any group of seniors in one place is at higher risk, raising important questions about what senior living will look like in the future.

The locations in Arapahoe County where outbreaks are deemed to have occurred, as of April 12, are: • Abundant Blessings (Lincoln Way, Centennial) • Bethesda Lutheran Communities (S. Logan St., Centennial) • Brookdale Meridian Englewood • Cherrelyn Healthcare Center • Cherry Creek Nursing Center • Juniper Village - Aurora

• Libby Bortz • Littleton Care and Rehab Center • Lowry Hills Care and Rehabilitation Center • Makarios Assisted Living (E. Pacific Pl., Aurora) • Pearl Street Health & Rehabilitation • RiverPointe Senior Living • Serenity House (S. Holly St.) • Highline Place Memory Care Douglas • St. Andrew’s Village • Sherman House (Continuum of Colorado Group Home) • Someren Glen Beginning April15, CDPHE hopes to have COVID-19 data for individual residential and non-hospital health care facilities around the state available on its website at https://covid19.colorado.gov/ case-data.

The problem spans our country. On April 10, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), which had previously described assisted-living as “a booming but lightly regulated industry that houses roughly a million elderly patients…across the nation, ” reported that the virus “has hit more than 2,100 nursing homes and other senior facilities around the U.S., killing over 2,300 people,” which it concluded was “an indication that the pandemic’s toll in these facilities has been greater than the federal government has reported.”

AARP, a $1.6 billion non-partisan, non-profit 62-year old organization that represents the views of the over-50 population, reported that there were mixed recommendations about whether or not to move family members out of senior living facilities weeks ago before they were all locked down from all visitors. That is moot now, but being isolated from all family can also take an emotional toll on

the elderly.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), as of April 11, 3,754 veterans have tested positive for Coronavirus across the country, and 200 have died. Of the total number of cases, 797 of the positive test results for the virus were from inpatients at VA facilities, including 22 in Washington, D.C., 21 in Bedford, MA, 39 in Los Angeles and Long Beach, CA,18 in Miami, FL, 160 in Brooklyn and the Bronx, NY, and 13 in Denver.

Those numbers, listed on the website of the VA on April 11, do not indicate what dates they cover.

A report on CNN.com on April 11 said that one single residential facility, the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke, MA has experienced 37 veteran deaths, and 31 of those tested for Coronavirus. It also said that there were 76 additional residents and 43 employees at that one facility who have also tested positive for the virus and that a federal investigation of the home has been launched. These stories are evolving daily.

A larger issue, which has been raised by multiple news reporters around the country, is the size of this problem nationally. WSJ reports that although Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has stated that it and the White House Coronavirus Task Force “have worked aggressively to protect nursing-home residents, taking steps including banning nearly all outside visitors.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “which regularly reports coronavirus infections and deaths in total, doesn’t do so for nursing-home cases and didn’t provide any figures in response to a recent

request from WSJ.” In a chart WSJ prepared from data gathered from individual state websites between April 3 and April 10, the writers calculated the fraction of COVID-19 deaths at long-term-care facilities in 17 states. It ranged from 59 percent in Minnesota (of 47 total deaths) to 41 percent in Massachusetts (of 176

The first death in a senior living facility was in the Life Care Center in Kirkland, WA. That number has since multiplied to at least 40 fatalities linked to that location.

How can you NOT believe in miracles?

BY BELINA NASSI FRUITMAN

The last 24 hours I have been contemplating how fragile life is.

I have always been keenly aware of this, as random, unpredictable events occur every minute of every day. However, when this happens to you, several potent feelings arise.

The first feeling is shock. It takes time to process that, it could take a few hours to a few days. In my case, it took a few hours which led to the feeling (and thought) of

miraculous.

Let’s back up a moment.

Around the globe we are all living in the face of Covid-19. We have all learned the ways to protect our self from this gruesome virus, by now everyone is cognizant of what we can control. We can control how and when we wash our hands, whether to wear gloves, how to avoid nonessential businesses and how to socially distance. In the wake of this, our personal selfcare is paramount. This is exactly why we continue to exercise, eat well and get enough solid sleep. What we might have forgotten is what we can’t control.

Your kitchen is the heart of your home – a place not only for cooking but also for relaxation, entertainment and quality family time. When it comes to renovating this special place, it’s important to put time and care into the design to achieve the best results.

Partner with a professional kitchen designer to help you accomplish your goals.

Perspective

Kitchen remodeling is more than replacing cabinet doors or adding a fresh coat of paint. Good design involves critical decisions about layout, styles, materials and modifications. A professional kitchen designer has the expertise to coordinate these components.

They will refer you to contractors, help you pick out products and create a stylish, cohesive design that is unique

to your space.

Regardless of the size of your kitchen, orchestrating a remodel can be challenging. Having an expert by your side who not only understands your needs in a practical sense but also shares enthusiasm for your project is invaluable.

Guidance

Consultation with a kitchen designer is a time to discuss your project, share ideas and evaluate cabinet options. With your budget and timeline in mind, your designer can help narrow down preferences and clarify in which direction to proceed.

Good design is not just about style and aesthetics. The ergonomic qualities of the space are equally important.

For example, having smart storage solutions and an efficient work-triangle are essential points in any kitchen design. Your designer will help

‘The Pendulum Struggle’

BY ADAM LONG ASSOCIATE PASTOR GREENWOOD COMMUNITY CHURCH

This is a confession. I don’t know how many confessions you have heard from a pastor. I need to be honest and tell you, the stress and boredom of this tumultuous time make me oscillate between desires to engage or escape. It feels like a pendulum swinging from engaging with God and all that He has for me in the day or escaping to mindless distractions.

The mindless distractions have been scrolling through social media, bingeing on Netflix, or constantly scrounging around for food. Working from home is apparently making me very hungry. And during the weekend, I some-

times feel “blah” and just want to escape. I don’t know what your pendulum struggle looks like, but I believe that we all struggle in different ways in response to stress, and even boredom.

Two things have helped me in this pendulum struggle. First, when we go to unhealthy extremes such as food, alcohol, social media, or Netflix to escape, we need to remember God’s transformative grace through Jesus Christ. As 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

We need to confess these things and allow God’s love and grace to wash over us.

Then, remember that the very

configure the best options to meet your needs.

Commitment

Throughout the planning process, your kitchen designer will work closely with you to ensure all points of concern are addressed and that you are 100% satisfied before details are finalized. Beyond that, they will communicate with your contractor, ensure quality installation of your cabinets and follow through with any outstanding items.

Kitchen renovation is a complex undertaking. Partnering with a professional kitchen designer is essential.

From the initial planning process through completion, your designer will listen to your ideas, offer suggestions and navigate challenges. Most importantly, they will make sure your kitchen project is a success. www.bkckitchenandbath.com

presence of God that cleanses us is also His presence that empowers us towards His heart and His ways.

Second, our desires for food, drink, social media and Netflix are not necessarily bad things. It is good to stay connected to friends, it is good to laugh, and it is good to enjoy a movie. But when a good thing becomes an ultimate thing, we give it too much power and control in our lives. What helps me during this time when I think about watching a show or enjoying a drink is to ask, “Is this good for my soul?” “Is this life-giving or life-taking?” These are difficult times, but God has so much more for us and wants us to experience the fullness of LIFE in Him. Adam Long, Associate Pastor of Greenwood Community Church

April is Stress Awareness Month How do we manage this level of anxiety?

How can we learn to manage this level of uncertainty and hyper-reactivity to every news alert? Cultivating greater self-awareness can help. We can start by recognizing that—like many things in life—stress ebbs and flows. The same is true of illness outbreaks, which is why influenza, or flu, is typically limited to the late fall and winter months. When multiple challenges are upon us, rather than fighting them—which only increases their capacity to penetrate and dominate our minds and spirits—learning to accept or tolerate them and even think of ways to learn from them will help us cope in a healthier way.

This line of thinking is a feature of acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, a hot topic in psychology that encourages people to mindfully accept their feelings and reactions and then choose to behave and live in ways that are consistent with their values. It's an approach that allows us to move forward without struggling to stamp out our inner feelings.

How do we accept our emotions?

Rather than fighting flashes of frustration, anxiety, or anger, sometimes it's better just to sit with those feelings and accept them. Notice that they're present without judging or latching on to them. Instead, view them as if they were leaves floating on a stream, and they'll likely pass naturally.

When someone has an emotional reaction to something in his or her environment, a chemical process in the body is activated that puts it on alert, but it lasts for only 90 seconds, according to neuroscientist Jill Bolte

Musings with Melinda

Taylor, Ph.D. After those 90 seconds have passed, any remaining emotional response stems from the person choosing, consciously or not, to stay in that emotional cycle.

How can the 90-second effect help?

Since I learned about the 90-second effect, I have become a big fan. Often when I start getting ratcheted up by an issue, I can quickly lapse into a ruminative state, grinding back and forth over the same material, which makes me feel even more frustrated and agitated.

Now, when I become aware of what I'm doing, I firmly and repeatedly say, "Ninety-second rule! Ninety-second rule!" to remind myself: The hold the emotional chemical alert has on me is short-lived. I also remind myself that it is my choice whether to hold on to these emotions. It doesn't work instantly, but the strategy becomes more effective each time I use it, and as the grip of strong emotions gives way to reason, I feel an empowering sense of relief.

If you simply notice that swell of emotions and don't hold on to it, you can feel it fade away, too. The key is not to engage, not to judge or ruminate about your feelings or what triggered them. Instead, acknowledge and name how you're feeling, as if it were an object outside of you. Let yourself feel what you feel, but then be willing to let go of it.

Area business leaders look toward the future

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

As the statewide stay-athome order got extended to the current date of April 26, The Villager reached out to local leaders in the areas of banking and real estate, to get their views on the future of their industries.

From Buz Koelbel, President and CEO of residential real estate giant Koelbel and Company, developer of The Preserve at Greenwood Village and Crossings at High Line Canal, we heard, “At this point, I am not comfortable in offering any specific commentary until we get through at least April 30.

It’s all going to depend upon when the country “gets back to work.” This one is so difficult to reconcile with ever-changing data, timing for mass testing, treatments and vaccines, etc.

Any view of even the near term, much less the long term, is virtually impossible right now.

One thing we know for sure is there will be some structural and psychological changes that will occur. Human nature is unpredictable, and as such, those are difficult to predict now as well.”

Koelbel is also a board member of the Common Sense Policy Roundtable (CSPR) (common sensepolicyroundtable.org). He directed us to a podcast on the subject led by CSPR and AMG National Trust Bank Chairman of the Board Earl Wright. Wright opened his remarks by extending “thoughts and prayers for recovery and good health for those who are suffering this virus” and “our deepest gratitude to those health care givers on the front lines of this crisis.”

Wright continued, “As we face the worst part of this crisis, we always have an eye on the

future, solutions, and innovations.” He discussed CSPR’s ongoing efforts to “model the data and understand the economic impact (of COVID-19) on our economy and the state budget.” Chris Brown, CSPR director of policy and research, joined Wright on the podcast.

He said that state revenue projections for the next fiscal year, July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, include a decrease in revenue of $1 billion from what was expected prior to the novel coronavirus. Wright added that he expected a two to three percent decrease in nationwide Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the current calendar year but that in the first half of 2021, “things will start to pick up, but it will be kind of tough for the consumer to get back into the economy and feel comfortable spending like they had before.”

Wright focused on the potential job losses to Coloradans in the retail, arts, entertainment, and recreation, accommodations, and food services and drinking places that Brown highlighted in his March 24 study of the

impact of COVID-19 on Colorado. That study projected the loss of 91,800 jobs if those industries lost half their business for 45 days and 183,000 jobs if they lost half their business for a full quarter. Brown pointed out that the higher number was the equivalent of the entire population of Fort Collins and Littleton. He also cited a study by a “national think tank” that estimated Colorado could lose 260,000 direct jobs by early summer. In response to a question from Wright, Brown said that the state, including local governments, expects to receive $2.2 billion directly from the CARES Act, in addition to money that is being sent to individuals and businesses.

Wright expects a return to a level of economic expansion will occur in late 2021 or early 2022 that “will result in…our coming close to where we were before this whole thing started …which is a pretty good economy, growing at around 2.0 to 2.2 or 2.5 percent… if the fiscal package works and if we can get

everybody back to work.”

Jay Davidson, First American State Bank founder, CEO and chairman of the board, said on April 4, “Unless acted upon in a timely manner, the effect of so many unemployed workers and the demise of small and intermediate businesses, can have a catastrophic effect on the economy. By fiat, our government instantly slowed down the entire economy and may well have created a serious liquidity crisis. This crisis can have long lasting and negative repercussions.”

He continued, “I can’t speak for others, each person has to decide individually, but I have to wonder, would it have been wiser to educate, to ask citizens to exercise due caution rather than create panic, demand quarantine and with it, the cessation of economic activity? It’s a fair question and one the politicians will have to answer when this is over. We have survived other epidemics and even pandemics. The American citizen is resilient, hard-working and decent.”

Davidson continued, “Government’s answer to any problem, especially one they created, is to drop interest rates, print $2.2 trillion and redirect this funny money back to citizens and businesses. They use our money to temporarily placate us.

This monetary policy solution has never worked to generate economic activity. Only citizens, consumers, and businesses grow the economy and they do so through free and independent transactions. The best solution is to open commerce as soon as possible. The economic crisis will increase exponentially as the quarantine and business slowdown goes on. The depth of the recession is dependent on time under quarantine.”

On April 11, he added these thoughts. “Perhaps most folks don’t believe, as do I, that our national reaction to the pandemic is irrational, or that it is based on panic and out of balance to the threat. Folks may disagree with me that any restrictions on individual freedom and liberty are illegal and unconstitutional. Yet we allowed our federal government, state governors and mayors to implement restrictions on our social fabric and on business. The repercussions will taint our world for decades. It is only through the will of the people that we may return to some semblance of freedom.

I submit that any action that separates us from our Constitution, from our nature as free citizens, to this extreme, even if we return to “normal” sometime soon, sets precedent for the future. Politicians and bureaucrats must hear, loudly and clearly, that their illegal actions are not acceptable under any conditions.”

2020 Lexus UX 250h F Sport is vibrant A real miracle

BY H. THROTTLE AUTOMOTIVE COLUMNIST

Kind of ironic with gasoline now at $1.57 a gallon at some locations the hybrid cars are becoming the standard in the industry.

What can occur after the oil supply glut is the refineries start to shut down and we suddenly have a shortage of gasoline at the pumps regardless of the price of a barrel of oil. Just like toilet paper, when in short supply cost doesn’t matter.

The 2020 Lexus UX 250h F Sport is the test drive for the week. This vehicle is billed as a semi-sports car with bucket seats, paddle shifters, and carries an F Sport premium name and package.

The smaller 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is boosted by the hybrid battery system, achieving 181 horsepower and 39 mpg overall fuel economy.

The battery power gives instant acceleration that replaces any need for a turbo engine boost. The F Sport model has a sport’s mode and continuous variable transmission. The hybrid battery system now has a 10 year/150,000-mile warranty.

Small in size, the back seat has tight leg room that would limit long drives for

rear seat adult passengers. This vehicle is really engineered as a bucket seat sports model with a suggested retail price of $36,350. The F Sport package with other options raise the price to $42,880.

This model has all of the latest safety features, achieving a perfect overall fivestar safety rating. Along with safety, “Siri” and “Alexa” are along for the ride to assist the driver’s audio needs.

This vehicle is assembled in Miyakawa, Fukuoka, Japan with high quality craftsmanship and “Ultrasonic Blue Mica” exterior paint.

This Lexus has good performance, sports car features, loaded with safety features, and hybrid fuel economy. This is a car for the young at heart with many bells and whistles and a long lasting warranty.

As I quickly unclipped from my bike and threw it to the ground, I ran to my husband who was in the middle of an intersection, I knew instantly that I almost lost my soul mate.

Unemployment claims up in Arapahoe County

BY DORIS B. TRUHLAR GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Unemployment claims originating with Arapahoe County residents last week totaled 10,000, according to a report at the Centennial City Council meeting on Monday night.

Additionally, there were 86,500 claims filed in the State of Colorado during the same week. This compares with 210 claims per week in Arapahoe County during the recession of 2008.

In additional business at the council meeting, an expenditure

of $25,000 for the Meals on Wheels program in Arapahoe County was unanimously approved. Eric Eddy made a presentation to the council about the program.

The council also approved a $222,000 loan program for small businesses to assist with their payroll needs. Businesses must have fewer than 40 employees to qualify for the program. It will be a loan program that will be administrated by the Colorado Enterprise Fund.

Mayor Stephanie Piko said that the county and the state are “feeling the sting” of the current corona virus pandemic.

The mayor also noted that, in the 2020 census, taken by the federal government, Centennial has the highest participation rate so far for a City its size in the entire state of Colorado, at a whopping 70 percent so far. Foxfield is number one in the state, but only has a very small population, less than 1,000.

The council learned that a large number of bigger retailers are not paying their rents for the time being due to the pandemic and economic downturn.

City Manager Matt Sturgeon said that the turnout for the 8 p.m. howling has been really

that “they tried to sell guns in a neighboring county,” which led GVPD to conclude that the suspects could be “armed and dangerous.” Sansing and GVPD 911 center dispatcher Megan Morin played a critical role in the multiple communications between everyone involved in the case throughout the evening.

The witness who had called 911 made a positive identifi-

cation of both the male seen in the Lowe’s videotape and the non-custodial mother of the children from the photos, having seen them at the motel. As multiple police officers walked the floors of the motel looking for signs of the children, Commander Gutgsell and GVPD Officer Juan Villalva carefully reviewed video footage from the motel provided by its owners, who were very helpful, to ensure that they had sufficient evidence

of the children’s presence before proceeding.

As soon as that evidence was verified, GVPD Officers Hasche, Hopkins, Speer, Villalva, Plemons, Mann, and Corporal Joswick, went to the room where they believed the children were being kept. All four children were found there unharmed.

The adult male suspect was with them and was detained.

The children, Xavier Potter, 14, Raelee Potter, 11, Divine Peace Potter, 6, and David Villegas, 5, were transferred to representatives of the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services, but not before GVPD Corporals Sarah Joswick and Tyler Heaton got them all they could eat from a nearby McDonald’s. Joswick paid for the food out of her own personal funds.

Per published reports, Wyoming authorities believe that Stacia Potter-Norris, the non-custodial parent of the four children, who has not been located as of this writing, was planning to take them to California.
