State’s vaccine effort hopes to close gaps Colorado targets residents who face barriers to accessing vaccine shots BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Even with Colorado’s six mass vaccination sites around the state up and running — and with local health providers also putting shots in arms — state officials knew they needed to go further to reach Coloradans who can’t drive to appointments or set them up online. That’s why Colorado started organizing what it calls “equity clin-
ics” — and as of mid-April, state officials had worked with more than 100 community organizations in the effort to reach low-income areas, people of color and rural residents, too. For some communities, barriers to coronavirus vaccination aren’t just economic but can also stem from distrust, Gov. Jared Polis said. “It is important that people understand some of the legitimate roots of that skepticism, where, inexcusably, Black Americans were experimented on without their permission,” Polis told Colorado Community Media. That’s a reference to what became known as the Tuskegee syphilis study: In 1972, the Associated Press
broke news that the federal government had let hundreds of Black men in rural Alabama go untreated for syphilis for 40 years for research purposes. A public outcry ensued, and the study ended three months later, according to the AP. The effects of the study still linger — it’s routinely cited as a reason some Black Americans are reluctant to participate in medical research, or even go to the doctor for routine check-ups, the AP reported. But other communities also experience “vaccine hesitancy,” and making vaccination quick and easy is crucial for the state to be able to SEE VACCINE, P6

Infighting broke out among Douglas County commissioners after the board chair was stripped of that title and the members began lobbing accusations at each other. Commissioner Lora Thomas was removed from the chair position after her fellow board members — Abe Laydon and George Teal — accused her of lying and using her title “for personal gain politically,” according to a resolution posted to the Douglas County website April 23. That resolution, which was set to be voted on in an April 27 meeting, also states that the former board chair sent emails to members in the business community that were interpreted by some — who have active land use applications in the county — as intimidation. “Commissioner Thomas’ actions have brought a sad day upon the people of Douglas County,” according to the resolution. Interview requested The incident began April 16 when the board received a media request from a national media outlet for an interview with a board member, SEE BOARD CHAIR, P7

Douglas County fires health board member over letter to editor Official termination notice comes six months after publication BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For the second time this year, the Douglas County commissioners are looking to replace a board of health member who spoke out against the county’s plan to leave Tri-County Health Department. Commissioners sent a letter of termination dated April 14 to Marsha Jaroch, a member of TriCounty’s board of health since 2015, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Colorado Community Media.
The letter, signed by all three commissioners, cites an October 2020 letter to the editor in the Douglas County News-Press as the reason for her firing from the position. The letter to the editor was signed by Jaroch and former board of health member Paulette Joswick, who resigned in February. Tri-County’s board of health is made up of nine appointed representatives — with three each from all three of its counties, also including Adams and Arapahoe counties. The board votes on public health orders, the department’s director and other policies. “While this (letter to the editor) alone was an abuse of your appointed position, the political rhetoric you elected to use under your appointed position was extremely divisive and intended to create

in an emailed statement that she had been honored to serve on the board of health. “John Douglas (executive director of Tri-County) and the entire team are everything one could hope to have — professional, experienced, responsive and caring,” she said. “My wish for the future is to see Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams Counties all continue to thrive with the guidance and service of the team at Tri County Health Department.” Commissioners declined requests for interviews about the termination, which had not been announced publicly, but responded to questions through a spokesperson. In an emailed statement, the county said they had contacted Jaroch about the letter to the editor in November and had asked her to resign. “We continued to retain our interest in a professional separation,” according to the statement. “At no time did the board’s position change with regard to our request that she resign her position.” Jaroch said she decided not to resign because she “wanted to be part of future discussions about the separation” of Douglas County from Tri-County and planned to resign after that situation was settled. Jennifer Ludwig, deputy director for Tri-County, said in an interview that Jaroch had been a valuable member of the board and often brought different opinions from other members. “Marsha has been a phenomenal board member, I really value and appreciate the voice that she brings to the board,” Ludwig said. “It’s always been really good for us to hear that other side.” Ludwig said this is the first time in her nearly 30-year career in public health that she has seen a board of county commissioners terminate a board member that they had appointed. Jaroch, a nurse practitioner for 40 years, was re-appointed by the Douglas County commissioners in 2020 and her term was set to expire in 2025. “To have a really good board SEE MEMBER, P3

distrust for the elected officials who appointed you, and who answer to the citizens you suggest you are representing,” according to the commissioners’ letter. In the letter to the editor, Joswick and Jaroch — who identified themselves as both residents and board of health members — urged the community to voice support for Douglas County remaining with Tri-County Health. The commissioners had submitted a letter to Tri-County in July 2020 stating they would be separating from the department in a year. “To date, there has been no definitive plan presented to (TriCounty) as to how and when this may occur,” the October letter to the editor said. “In the meantime, (Tri-County) has to set budgets and attend to critical priorities with the eventuality of Douglas County’s departure still pending.” In November, the commissioners voted to stay with the health department until 2023 in exchange for a new Tri-County policy granting them more control over public health orders. The county is continuing to look for public health options outside of Tri-County. “If Douglas County is to continue to benefit fully as a member of (TriCounty), protecting the health of our citizens, then let your voices be heard in support of remaining in partnership with this outstanding organization on Nov. 3 and beyond,” the letter to the editor stated. A Nov. 3 election decided two of the county’s commissioners. In February, Joswick, who served as a board of health member for more than 13 years, resigned from her position after she was urged to do so by county staff speaking on behalf of commissioners, she told Colorado Community Media. Joswick says she left the position for other reasons, however. Commissioners said Joswick resigned after she was contacted about a county resident who reported overhearing the board member talking at a crochet class in Castle Rock. In a letter from the resident, she said she heard Joswick being critical of the commissioners and their decision to leave Tri-County. Jaroch, who was out-of-state and unavailable for an interview, wrote

member terminated, it’s disheartening,” Ludwig said. Ludwig added that she would miss hearing Jaroch’s input on the ongoing conversations about TriCounty’s possible separation from Douglas County. Relevant policies While Tri-County has strict and clear guidelines for what their staff can do in terms of public statements, these policies don’t extend to the board of health, Ludwig said. In Douglas County’s code of conduct for boards, committees and commissions, the policy signed by appointees says that when presenting personal opinions or positions,

members “shall explicitly state that (they) are not representing their board/committee/commission or the county,” according to the document. Commissioners planned to replace Jaroch using the remaining applicants from the process used to replace Joswick in February, a spokesperson said. In their letter to Jaroch, commissioners wrote that they had “lost faith” that her representation would meet Douglas County needs moving forward. “At this critical time, Douglas County residents need assurance that Douglas County elected officials and those that are appointed by them, will work together — even when they disagree — towards mutually beneficial results on issues of major concern,” according to the commissioners’ letter.

Douglas County School Board names permanent superintendent Interim Superintendent Corey Wise accepted the board’s offer BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County School Board has offered interim Superintendent Corey Wise the district’s permanent superintendent role after a monthslong search that included a mix of internal and external candidates. An emotional Wise accepted the offer shortly after the directors’ 5-2 vote during their April 20 board meeting. Wise was one of four finalists advanced from an applicant pool of more than 100 people. The board’s decision left him at a Wise loss for words, he said. “I’m honored to accept and can’t wait to see what we all build and grow together,” he said. Directors Christina Ciancio-Schor and Kevin Leung dissented, expressing their support for Mary Young. Young was one of two external finalists and serves as superintendent of Warren County Schools in North Carolina. The other two finalists were Samuel Jarman, superintendent of Alpine School District in Utah,
and Christopher Page, principal at Highlands Ranch High School. Wise was named the district’s interim superintendent in September. He has been with the district for 25 years, having worked as a social studies teacher at Ponderosa High School and a teacher at Chaparral High School before becoming assistant principal. He was the founding principal at Legend High School, where he stayed for seven years until taking roles in the district’s central administration. Directors said they were impressed that Wise stepped into the interim superintendent role as superintendents throughout the region resigned, and after the COVID-19 pandemic thrust public education into crisis. His time in the interim role could have been both an advantage and a disadvantage, board President David Ray said. “Mr. Wise has been in the job interview that never ends for six months now,” he said. Director Elizabeth Hanson said the board received hundreds of emails and phone calls with community feedback, much of which highlighted stories about Wise impacting families’ lives positively, she said. Director Susan Meek said Wise “navigated a very tumultuous time” for the district. She named a “once in a generation pandemic,” what she called devastating budget cuts, social and racial justice movements
nationally, a mental health crisis exacerbated by COVID-19 and “a polarized community” as examples of challenges he led the district through. Leung said he wanted the board to base its decision on how candidates performed in their interviews during the selection process, and not by “how personally we know somebody or how somebody has performed in the past.” Directors called Young deeply analytical, fact-driven, a strong communicator, relational, and a candidate who could bring expertise in diversity, equity and inclusion work. Directors also praised her background working in charter schools, rural districts and a district near twice the size of DCSD. Young has worked in public education for more than 20 years. She previously served as an executive director for Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland, which serves more than 130,000 students. She also worked in the South Carolina Department of Education and served as principal to several schools in Washington D.C. Jarman has been superintendent at Alpine School District for six years, the state’s largest school district comprising more than 81,000 students and 9,000 employees. He has worked in public education for 35 years. Page began his career in the Douglas County School District, starting as a history teacher at Rocky
Heights Middle School. He taught at Rock Canyon High School before becoming assistant principal there and was named principal of Highlands Ranch High School in 2015. He has served 18 years with the district. The district had hired the firm Frederick Andrews to conduct its search after former Superintendent Thomas Tucker resigned in September. The four finalists participated in an hours-long Q&A forum livestreamed to the community on April 13. In the days before that, they went before community panels, interviewed with local community leaders and board directors. During April 20 public comment, some community members urged board directors to select a superintendent who would prioritize inperson learning as tensions in the community flare over how to handle schooling in the age of COVID-19. Former school board candidate Andy Jones said he wanted to welcome whoever the new superintendent would be to “what used to be one of the best school districts in Colorado” before criticizing board directors and previous superintendents for their management of the district. Three people including current district teachers spoke in favor of selecting Wise for the post. Wise makes decisions by asking what is best for children, listens to community input and is “built to lead,” they said.

Restaurants, event venues, movie theaters can get pandemic assistance BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
More than a year after the pandemic began upending the economy, federal assistance is still available for many types of businesses, with a fund aimed at restaurants expected to open up soon. Another grant program provides help for event venues, performing arts, museums and movie theaters. Other businesses may still access the federal Paycheck Protection Program — commonly known as PPP loans — and another batch of dollars called the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program. Colorado has also compiled a list of local funding sources that it updates regularly. Here’s a look at the different assistance programs. For restaurants The Restaurant Revitalization Fund, part of the federal American Rescue Plan Act, will provide $28.6 billion in grants to restaurants and bars in need. Restaurants will able to apply for grants based on lost revenue. The official application launch date was to be announced soon, according to the Colorado government website as of late April. For the first 21 days that the program is open, the U.S. Small Business Administration, a federal agency, will prioritize reviewing applications from small businesses owned by women, veterans, and “socially and economically disad-
vantaged individuals,” according to the state’s website. Following the 21-day period, all eligible applicants are encouraged to submit applications. For now, the state recommends viewing the list of documentation required to prepare an application. See more information at tinyurl. com/RestaurantPandemicFund. For events, arts venues The federal Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program was established by the Economic Aid to HardHit Small Businesses, Non-Profits, and Venues Act, signed into law in December. The program includes $15 billion in grants to shuttered venues, according to the Small Business Administration. Entities that can apply include: • Live venue operators or promoters; • Theatrical producers; • Live performing-arts organization operators; • Museum operators; • Motion picture theater operators (including owners); • Talent representatives. Eligible applicants may qualify for grants equal to 45% of their gross earned revenue, with the maximum amount available for a single grant award of $10 million. The program reserved $2 billion for eligible applications with up to 50 full-time employees. Applications opened on April 8. See more information at tinyurl. com/EventsArtsAssistance.
If you didn’t get PPP, try again With a $284 billion congressional package for small-business relief, the federal Paycheck Protection Program reopened the week of Jan. 11. If banks said that a business didn’t qualify previously, the business should try again because of the recent changes, according to the state’s website. In addition, to apply for this round, a business does not need to have had the first round of its PPP loan forgiven — it only must have used the money from the first round to qualify for the second round. If a business has not received a PPP loan before, “First Draw” PPP loans are available. For those who already received a PPP loan, certain businesses are eligible for a “Second Draw” PPP loan. To promote “equitable relief for the smallest of small businesses,” the SBA announced that it would make the following changes to the program: • Allow sole proprietors, independent contractors and self-employed individuals to receive more financial support by revising the PPP’s funding formula; • Eliminate a restriction for smallbusiness owners with prior nonfraud felony convictions; • Eliminate restrictions on smallbusiness owners who have struggled to make federal student loan payments, by eliminating federal student loan debt delinquency and default as disqualifiers to participating in the PPP program; • Ensure access for non-citizen
small-business owners who are lawful U.S. residents by clarifying that they may use an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to apply for PPP. For more information and to apply, see tinyurl.com/PPPSecondRound. Another general loan for businesses The Small Business Administration’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program provides low-interest loans to small businesses and nonprofits to help overcome loss of revenue due to COVID-19, according to the state’s website. Small businesses that receive a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan won’t have to start making payments on the loan until 2022. The loan may be used for the following purposes: • Keeping employees on payroll; • Paying for sick leave; • Meeting increased production costs due to supply-chain disruptions; • Paying business obligations, including debts, rent and mortgage payments. Eligible entities include small businesses, nonprofits, veterans organizations, tribal businesses and cooperatives with fewer than 500 employees, sole proprietorships, self-employed individuals, and independent contractors. The Small Business Administration announced that the deadline to apply for the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program regarding COVID-19 is extended to Dec. 31.

reach “herd immunity,” Polis said. That’s a term for when enough people become immune that the spread of COVID-19 becomes unlikely, which could happen when around 70% to 80% of people attain immunity. “That means reaching people where they are, and protecting any Coloradans protects all Coloradans,” Polis said. The state’s Vaccine Equity Outreach Team — co-chaired by Jill Hunsaker Ryan, executive director of the state public-health department, and Rick Palacio, strategic consultant to the governor — worked to schedule vaccine equity clinics across Colorado in partnership with communitybased organizations, local public health agencies and tribes, according to a news release from the state public-health department. “One of the data points we use to guide our efforts are targeted census tracts,” Palacio said, using a term for geographic areas. State officials targeted tracts that are below the poverty line and high in minority populations and also worked with organizations that serve those areas. “Not everyone has a health care home,” and often that includes Black and brown communities, Palacio said. State officials have partnered with community organizations to host more than 200 clinics across the state, according to Polis’ office. “They’ve been in church and school parking lots, at local rec centers, and a variety of other locations that community members trust,” said Elizabeth Kosar, a spokeswoman for the governor. Many of the equity clinics are temporary, and others were ongoing as of late April. Some ongoing locations, according to the governor’s office, include: • Project Angel Heart, an organization that delivers meals to people with life-threatening illnesses, at 4950 N. Washington St. in Denver.

SOME MASS VACCINATION SITES NOW ACCEPTING WALK-INS Most Coloradans can access vaccines via local pharmacies, hospitals or the state’s mass vaccination sites. Four of the mass vaccination sites now accept walk-ins — Coloradans no longer need an appointment, according to Gov. Jared Polis’ office. Those four sites are: • Pueblo County — Colorado State Fairgrounds, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday • Larimer County — The Ranch Events Complex, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday • Denver — Ball Arena, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. • Mesa County — Grand Junction Convention Center, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The other sites will accept same-day registrations if appointments are available and haven’t been filled, Polis’ office said. Those other mass vaccination sites are in Adams County at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park and in El Paso County at the Broadmoor World Arena. Register for those locations at centura.org/covid-19/ covid-19-vaccine-information/vaccineevents. Colorado also is served by “mobile vaccine clinics” that travel around the state. Visit mobilevax.us/clinics to sign up and see a schedule of upcoming clinics.
When will enough Coloradans be vaccinated?
• Bear Valley Branch Library at 5171 W. Dartmouth Ave. in Denver. • Village Exchange Center, a nonprofit that serves immigrants and refugees in the Denver metro area, at 1609 N. Havana St in Aurora. • Fort Lupton recreation center at 203 S. Harrison Ave. On top of that, a mobile vaccine clinic program is also helping distribute vaccine shots around Colorado. The mobile vaccine clinics kicked off on April 2, and the equity clinics began in January, according to Polis’ office. The state had two bus routes as of late April. “The mobile vaccine clinics are currently running routes in Northeast and Southern Colorado. Previous stops include Eaton, Sterling, Yuma, Fort Morgan, Avondale, Ordway, La Junta, Las Animas and Lamar,” Kosar said. “And soon, we will be launching a third bus, which will run a route reaching mountain communities.”

BOARD CHAIR FROM PAGE 1
according to the resolution and a spokesperson. “During that rapid decision making process, the board came to a conclusion that Commissioner Thomas disagreed with,” according to the resolution. Thomas responded by asserting that this was a violation of the board’s media protocol. That media protocol is an incomplete document that has been in progress since January, according to a county spokesperson. While the board often uses an informal rotating assignment of media interviews, it isn’t outlined in the draft media protocol, according to the spokesperson. Commissioners had decided that Laydon would take the interview with the national outlet rather than Thomas, according to the spokesperson. After being informed by staff that she was incorrect about the breach of the media protocol, Thomas went on to send emails to “county residents and the business community” about the incident, saying the policy had been broken, according to the resolution. The resolution called those emails an “attempt to influence the board.” “Some of those emails were received by businesses with active land use applications before the board and were interpreted to be intimidation to compel those applicants to influence the board,” according to the resolution. Fallout intensifies Laydon, now the board chair, and Teal, now the vice chair, voted during an April 19 work session meeting to remove Thomas from that leadership position. The county’s board chair often serves as the public representative and leader of the board, according to the county’s policy for commissioners. The chair presides over meetings and decides agendas. Normally, the chair and vice chair are selected on a rotating basis based on district, according to the policy. “In a clumsy attempt to silence my voice, my fellow Republican County

From left, Commissioners George Teal, Lora Thomas and Abe Laydon.
Commissioners Abe Laydon and George Teal voted to remove me as Chairwoman of the Douglas County Board without cause,” according to an April 21 post to Thomas’ personal website. The statement called Teal and Laydon “good old boys” and says that they are attempting to silence her. Teal and Laydon have “chosen their misguided self-interests over the future fiscal health and well-being of our communities,” according to the statement. In response, Laydon lambasted Thomas. “Unfortunately, Lora Thomas’ egregious abuse of power and willful deceit to advance her political self-interests over the interests of the county represents an ongoing and well-documented pattern of behavior over several years that cannot be further tolerated by the citizens we serve,” he wrote in a text message. In his statements to Colorado Community Media, Laydon didn’t provide additional examples of the actions he had accused of Thomas outside of the April 16 incident. Commissioner George Teal said in a statement that Thomas lacked “the integrity and professionalism” needed to serve as the chair. “Her recent conduct is unbecoming of a county commissioner and our residents deserve better,” he wrote in a text message. “It is my sincere hope that Tuesday’s censure vote will serve as a wake up call to Commissioner Thomas and she’ll learn to put our residents above her
COURTESY OF DOUGLAS COUNTY
own self interests.” Attempted mediation Thomas, who was first elected in 2016, has served as board chair since January. “This is just about good ole boys attacking a competent, strong woman,” Thomas said in an interview with Colorado Community Media. In her April 21 statement, Thomas said that she’s worried about the county’s financial health because of the two commissioners’ policies and that she was ousted because she “opposed their big government plans and fought to inform citizens of the truth.” In March, Teal and Laydon voted in favor of bringing a clean energy commercial financing program, called the Colorado Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy, or C-PACE, to the county. Thomas mentioned this issue along with
pension plans for deputies, the attempted purchase of a local building and graywater discharges in her statement. Thomas added that the move was “motivated by a frustration with my integrity and courage to oppose and criticize their poorly devised land schemes, financial boondoggles, and self-serving policy proposals.” In her statement, Thomas asked county residents to show their support to her by emailing the county and attending the April 27 business meeting to voice their support of her. “I’m trying to save the future of Douglas County,” Thomas said. An April 23 letter to Thomas, signed by “the board of county commissioners,” is also attached to the agenda for the April 27 commissioners’ meeting. “You have continued to misrepresent the truth and leverage your name, title and apparent authority as chair … for personal gain politically and for those that have contributed to your campaign,” according to the letter. In an April 24 social media post, Thomas shared that there had been an attempted mediation between the commissioners to end the “embarrassing conflict,” according to her post to Twitter. She wrote that she was given a drafted letter of apology and told that if she signed it, she may be reinstated as board chair. Thomas refused to sign the letter. “I don’t work for Abe or George and I don’t back down from bullies,” she wrote at the bottom, according to the post.

Keep details of American Rescue Plan in mind
M
any Americans have received or will receive their $1,400 stimulus check, but there is a lot more to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) signed into law on FINANCIAL March 11 by President Biden. It is STRATEGIES important to know how to plan for any changes that may affect you. The Act allocates money for the health crisis, including funds for vaccinations, protective equipment Patricia Kummer and the reopening of schools as well as money for the economic crisis caused by the pandemic. Economic support is directed to businesses and the transportation and restaurant industries, but mainly to individuals in the form of stimulus checks and enhanced tax credits for 2021.¹ The individual checks for $1,400 per taxpayer and per dependent are really advance recovery rebate credits on your 2021 tax return. This time the definition of eligible
I
dependents is much broader and includes older high school and college students and any other relatives who are dependents. The phase- out ranges on income are improved, so review your 2020 tax return to see if you are eligible. The Act also expands the child tax credit in three ways for 2021 only. First, 17-year-olds are considered children. Second, ARPA increases the current $2,000 child tax credit to $3,000 per child ($3,600 for children under 6). There is a two-tiered phase out, one for children over the age of 6 and one for under age 6. Also, only in 2021, ARPA makes the normally nonrefundable child and dependent care credit refundable. This means taxpayers will receive a benefit from the credit even if they have no tax liability. The Act also increases the expenses eligible for the credit from $3,000 to $8,000 for one qualifying individual, and from $6,000 up to $16,000 for two or more qualifying individuals. The income levels at which the credit rate begins to be reduced has also seen significant increases. In past years, the 35% rate applied to individuals with AGI under $15,000.
However, for this year, the 50 percent credit rate is available to households making up to $125,000 of AGI. The Act also increases the dependent care assistance plan exclusion from $5,000 to $10,500 for 2021. ARPA includes several changes to the earned income credit (EIC) for certain separated spouses and individuals with no children. The phaseout was also increased as well as the threshold for investment income. Temporarily, taxpayers are allowed to use their 2019 income instead of 2021 in figuring the credit amount. Unemployment insurance payments will remain at $300 for an additional 25 weeks, through September 6, 2021. The Act retroactively excludes up to $10,200 per taxpayer of unemployment benefits from taxation for those with AGI under $150,000. Other enhancements include extending the family and sick leave credits and employee retention credit, COBRA continuation coverage credit, lower health insurance premiums through exchanges, expansion of premium tax credits, Economic Injury Disaster Loan grants, student loan forgiveness will
be tax-free and there an extension on rental assistance. There are many hidden gems in this Rescue Plan, so be on the lookout for credits you may be eligible to receive and increases in phaseout rules that should help on 2021 income taxes. The more knowledgeable you are, the more you can potentially benefit from these changes. 1.

Vaccinations in the time of COVID-19
t is helpful to review and understand the historical aspects of vaccination and to compare our current experiences with COVID-19. The history of smallpox (variola) as a major GUEST scourge of humanity, to its treatment COLUMN and prevention using a vaccine derived from cowpox, is a momentous event in the annals of science, and in terms of its positive effects on human suffering and mortality and Dr. David M. therefore on life Charles expectancy. Prior to its eradication smallpox left death, disfigurement and blindness in its wake. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines “eradication” of a disease as the “permanent reduction to zero of the incidence of
infection caused by a specific agent as a result of deliberate efforts.” WHO set a target for the total elimination of smallpox worldwide. This was achieved when the last case of this disease was discovered in Somalia in 1977. A World Health Assembly resolution adopted May 8, 1980 declared that the goal of eradication had been achieved. The estimation of the number of lives saved after 1980 approximates 5 million lives a year, which translates to an estimated total of 150 million to 200 million lives saved. Smallpox scars have been found in Egyptian mummies and the disease is reputed to have hastened the end of the Roman Empire. European royalty were not immune. To name a few of those affected, Elizabeth I and Mary II of England and Louis the XIV of France all suffered from smallpox. It is estimated that 90% of the people of the Aztec and Inca empires perished from smallpox
brought to South America by the conquistadors. A country doctor, Edward Jenner, working in a milk farming region of Gloucestershire, England in the late 18th century, observed that milk maids and dairy farmers who had contracted the mild disease of cowpox (vaccinia), were immune from developing the malicious disease of smallpox. Dr. Jenner, using his vaccination technique by collecting fluid from cowpox lesions and inoculating it into the arms of his patients, prevented the more serious disease of smallpox. His fame spread far and wide and this technique became the established method of smallpox prevention. Today a list of common diseases prevented or ameliorated by vaccinations include polio, measles, chickenpox (varicella), flu, diphtheria, hepatitis A and B, HPV (human papilloma virus), mumps, meningococcal meningitis, pneumococ-
cal pneumonia, tetanus, whooping cough, rubella and rotavirus. The germ theory of disease caused by micro-organisms did not come about until the middle of the 19th century. The invention of the microscope made it possible to see and identify micro-organisms. Before that time there was no adequate explanation for pandemics and epidemics. Because they were not understood, people lived in fear and dread of contacting these diseases. The disease known as COVID-19 has been with us for about one and a half years. Science has now described this virus, known as SARSCOV-2, and its genetic make-up, as well as its mutant variants. We now know how it spreads and how to control its spread, and we have a vaccine that will limit serious disease. The target is “herd immunity” which is reached when about 80% SEE CHARLES, P11

VOICES
Let’s all join together to beat the banned
O
nce a year, I invite readers to nominate words or expressions they wish were banned, an idea appropriated from Lake Superior State University’s “Annual List of Words and Phrases Banished from the QUIET Queen’s English DESPERATION for Mis-Use, OverUse and General Uselessness.” Lake Superior’s lists were started in 1976 by W. T. Rabe, the school’s former public relations director who gave the school an Craig Marshall unexpected and Smith unique identity nationwide. The 2021 list was released as always on New Year’s Day, and it predictably reflects events of the preceding year, starting with “COVID-19.” Others include “Social distancing,” “We’re all in this together,” and “In these uncertain times.” Add “Karen,” “Pivot,” “Unprecedented,” “In an abundance of
caution” and “I know, right?” If your name is Karen and have something you want to say about “Karen” becoming a “misogynist umbrella term for critiquing the perceived overemotional behavior of women” (according to Lake Superior’s committee) please let me know. One reader, Tim Reinig, Lone Tree, who anticipated this column, nominated “From farm to table.” Please send one or two words or phrases, with your name and location, by 11:59 p.m. on May 14 by emailing it to craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net. Some examples are in the Colorado Community Media Hall of Fame, but I have no objection to past offenders being convicted twice. “Whatever.” “Have a nice day.” “Awesome.” “Cool.” “Awesome” and “Cool” might be here to stay, but we have gotten rid of “Groovy,” “For sure,” “What’s happening?” and “Tell it like it is.” Unfortunately, “I know where you’re coming from” lingers. “Athleticism” is (too) often used in reference to an athlete who dem-
onstrates “Physicality.” What else is an athlete going to demonstrate? Watch any of the commentary channels and count the number of times someone begins a comment with, “Listen” or “Look.” “You guys.” “Selfie.” “Legally drunk.” “Hot water heater.” “Bucket list.” “Literally.” One that’s often underestimated in its potency to undermine a sentence is “Uh.” “You know?” “It is what it is” is one of the most egregious, and I am getting mighty tired of “egregious” too. You get the idea: I don’t want to use up all the good (bad) ones. If there’s a story to go along with your nomination all the better. Words change and so do names. Once names were simple: Jimmy Stewart, Patti Smith, Billy Dee Williams. No longer. There’s an entertainer named Megan Thee Stallion. “Mom and Dad, I’d like you to meet Megan Thee Stallion.” “We’re pleased to meet you. What do we call you?” “You can call me Megan. Or you
can call me Thee. Or you can call me Stallion. But you don’t have to call me Megan Thee Stallion.” (That’s my homage to comedian Bill Saluga and his “Raymond J. Johnson Jr.” routine.) One reader asked why I insert my middle name: “Sounds pretentious.” There are thousands of Craig Smiths (one of was just hired to coach the University of Utah’s men’s basketball team.). Without “Marshall” I can’t be found if someone were searching. There are only two of us (on the internet) named Craig Marshall Smith. The other is a corporal with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. “He is only one of a handful of African Canadians who have even worn a RCMP uniform.” Because “Thanks in advance” belongs on The List, I’ll just say thank you. (W. T. Rabe, 1921-1992.) Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.
Celebrating the construction zones of life
W
e all know that feeling of entering a construction zone while we are driving, don’t we? Whether it is a major highway or just a singlelane road that gets shut down, we are either forced to find a detour or ac- WINNING cept the delay and WORDS ride out the traffic until we get past the construction that is currently underway. Although we know that when the construction ends, the improvements made will Michael Norton make our commute easier in the long run, we can’t help but feel a little frustrated and inconvenienced in the moment. The other day I found myself on such a road. It was a beautiful scenic drive and then suddenly, the orange and white, yellow and black signs started to appear: Construction Entrance; Begin Construction; Road Work Ahead; Road Construction Ahead; Entering Work Zone; Construction Zone Begins; Enter-

ing Construction Zone; Slow Down Construction Area Ahead Trucks Entering. Well, maybe I didn’t see all of these signs on this particular drive, but I am sure I have at some point over the course of my life. And I am fairly certain you have as well. I decided to ride out the traffic and just accept the delay. And then the other signs started to pop up as I began to resume the normal speed limit: End Active Work Zone; End Construction; or End of Construction. And as I approached those signs, I realized I had a great appreciation for the men and women who are out there each day building, rebuilding, or repairing our roadways so that we are safer, and our future drives are made so much easier. Kudos to all those who work so hard to make our lives better in the long run. And maybe we can all do our part in being a little more patient so that we can keep them safer each day too. Here’s the thing, aren’t we all a living and breathing construction zone in some way? Some of us are working hard every day to improve our physique or build strength and
endurance. Others of us are students and working on our education or skills-based training. Many are taking up hobbies, learning a new language, learning to play an instrument, taking dancing or singing lessons, participating in cooking classes, and so many other “Under Construction” possibilities. And while we are “Under Construction,” and committed to the end result that we are striving for; we learn to be patient with ourselves as we know it will take time to achieve our goals. We also hope our family, friends, co-workers, and anyone else who knows us, and who is supporting us, that they will be patient as well. To complete our construction, we need to stay on the path even if the road is harder and slower, only taking a detour when absolutely necessary. Detours are okay, just as long as the detour we take isn’t an escape route, taking us farther away from our goals and dreams. A beautiful life lesson came for me personally several years ago as I visited the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina.
While we walked the grounds, we came upon the gravestone of Ruth Bell Graham, Billy Graham’s wife who passed away in June 2007. On her tombstone, under her name and the date of her birth and of her passing, were the words, “End of Construction - Thank you for your patience.” It reminded me that each day, until the day we are called home, we are all always “Under Construction” in some way. The next time you are welcomed with a bright orange and white sign that says, “Begin Construction,” will you be reminded that you are also a work in progress? Will you stay the course and be patient as you go through the building, rebuilding, or repair process? I would love to hear your “Under Construction” story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can celebrate the construction zones of life, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support SB62: Justice for all is not a threat I am a white woman and have lived most of my life in Jefferson County. I support SB21-062, the Jail Population Management Tools bill. I’ve been to traffic court and have never been arrested. My friends, as teenagers, would be picked up by law enforcement for trespassing or underage drinking, and would be brought home for their parents to deal with. Because of my experience, I believed that if someone was arrested, that person was probably guilty and deserved to be locked up. I’ve since changed my mind. As a volunteer with Court Watch Colorado, I watch bond hearings in local courts for persons arrested for low-level offenses. This is what I have witnessed: Those who are held and charged are typically unhoused, Indigenous, Black, Brown, or immigrants. Rarely are they white or with financial means. This tells me that our marginalized neighbors are policed more than the rest of us. And the issuance of low Personal Recognizance bonds means that the accused are not considered threats to community safety. Systemic change and community safety are not mutually exclusive. Jeffco had the highest decarceration in the country during the COVID crisis, and yet crime remained flat. SB21-062 is not about letting people who are dangerous go free. It’s a step in making our system more just and treating all members of our community with dignity.

For the last five years, I have worked with a team to monitor the effectiveness of recently built wildlife crossing structures, which includes five wildlife underpasses and two overpasses as well as wildlife exclusion fencing and escape ramps, on State Highway 9 between Silverthorne and Kremmling. Prior to construction, wildlifevehicle collisions accounted for 60% of all accidents reported to law enforcement. Our research shows that these structures have been successful at reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions by 90%. Moreover, we have documented nearly 113,000 successful crossings by mule deer, in addition to those made by elk, bears, mountain lions, moose, bighorn sheep, pronghorn and even river otters. The governor’s proposed 2021 budget, which is being considered by the Colorado Legislature, includes funding and resources for the protection of wildlife corridors and improvement of highway crossings in Colorado. Pursuant to Governor Polis’ Executive Order 2019-011, it also creates a position at Colorado Parks and Wildlife to coordinate erly, and • Perhaps, as a caveat, prepare for the next pandemic.

closely with CDOT and identify opportunities for future highway crossing projects. This investment would not only improve wildlife conservation outcomes and public safety, it would also save money. Coloradans currently spend $80 million per year on wildlife-vehicle collisions. Wildlife crossing structures pay for themselves quickly through collisions avoided. This investment would make Colorado a leader in wildlife corridor conservation and provide a future where highway travel is safer for all. Paige Singer Denver Will school board permit opt-out? The Douglas County Board of Education recently passed an equity policy that mandates evaluating and possibly restructuring “all School District-approved curriculum” to include “races, colors, ancestries, creeds, sexes, genders, sexual orientations, gender expressions, gender identities …” Public comments I obtained through a Colorado Open Records Act ran about 27 for and 72 against this policy by my count. I agree with those opposed to the policy who state they fear it will lead to “po-
litical indoctrination” in “critical race theory” saying that it teaches minorities are victims and “being white is bad.” One person, whose comments echoed others, “I want my kids to be educated not indoctrinated. This is ideological …” Promoting such divisiveness is unlikely to lead to the harmony, understanding and equality we all desire. Additionally, some worried the equity policy’s five references to sex and gender would mean new curricula will expose kids to the LGBTQ agenda, and as one said, allow “biological males who profess to be female to enter girls’ restrooms/ locker rooms and participate in female sports.” I agree with commenters who said parents, not the schools, are the moral and ethical guides of their own children. They wondered what books will be assigned or assemblies held on racial or sexual topics. Many parents said they must be allowed to opt their children out of any instruction or materials they find objectionable or inappropriate. The BOE didn’t address any of these citizens’ comments and concerns when they approved the Equity Policy. Will they listen now? Joy Overbeck Parker
OBITUARIES RICH
Memorie Mae Upper Rich May 13, 1925 to April 2, 2021
Memorie Rich, retired South Street Elementary kindergarten teacher and former Surrey Ridge resident, died on April 2 at her home in Castle Rock. She was born in Birmingham, Michigan on May 13, 1925 to Nina and Warren Upper. She grew up in Michigan with three older sisters and one older brother, who all proceeded her in death. Memorie attended Birmingham High School. One of her favorite memories of this time was the senior trip to Washington D.C. where she got to meet her classmate’s aunt, Eleanor Roosevelt. After high school, Memorie earned money for college working for General Motors drafting designs of military tanks. She attended Stevens College for two years and Wayne State University in Detroit where she graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Education. One fateful day she met her future husband, Bob Rich, when he came to court her roommate. Bob, newly back from fighting in Europe during World War II, asked Memorie out instead and they married June 26, 1948. The young couple set up housekeeping in Lansing, Michigan where Bob owned an Ace Hardware Store. Memorie stayed home and raised their four children until the youngest was in school and she resumed her kindergarten teaching career. She was a talented seamstress and sewed many of her daughters’ clothes.
SUNDAY
She enjoyed canoeing on the Grand River by their home and camping trips with the family. In 1972 Memorie and Bob moved to Colorado and built a house in Surrey Ridge. Memorie became a kindergarten teacher at South Street Elementary where she frequently reminded her students, “Little children love each other, never give another pain.” At retirement, Memorie and Bob moved to Sun City, Arizona. Memorie pursued her painting and was an active member of the Christian Science Church. After Bob’s death in 2014, Memorie returned to Castle Rock to be closer to family. Her family members remember her as a creative and resourceful woman. Memorie was a religious person who studied her Christian Science Faith daily. Memorie is survived by her daughters Anita Rich and Emily Rich and sons John Rich (Julie) and Buddy Rich (Sheri) , grandchildren Amy McIntosh (Andrew), Laura Turner (John), Rob Ley, Giovanni Rich, German Rich, Spencer Rich (Maggie), Bryan Rich (Jenny), Sarah Griffin (Mikey), Preston Rich (Liz) and many great grandchildren. Memorie’s remains will be interred at Fort Logan where her husband’s ashes rest.
Roger Sunday
Roger Sunday‘s spirit left us on April 3, at age 75. Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Josephine & Steve Sunday, and son, Bryan. He is survived by his wife, Judy Hibdon; sister, Janice Sunday (Terry Foutz); brother, Gregg Sunday (Julie); daughters of his first marriage to Luana Sunday, Anastasia Sunday (Chris Hubbell); Jenni Schaffer (Bryan); & Tamara Burhenn (Chad); and his step-son, Tom Hibdon (Susan). He is also survived by seven grandchildren; two stepgrandchildren; and one great step-grandchild. Roger was born and raised in Chicago, IL. He served in the US Army, stationed part of the time in Korea. He received his degree in business from Southern Illinois University. He moved to Colorado in 1972 where
most of his career was spent as an entrepreneur beginning with his oil business, Wesx. He continued to create and build businesses until his retirement. He played an active role in his grandchildren’s lives and loved family gatherings. Roger was a competitive golfer, loved the sport, and was a member of Fox Hill Golf and Country Club. He made friends everywhere he went and was always eager to offer a hand when needed. He had a zest for life and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

T
he secret to making truly good Cajun food boils down to one word — love. Restaurants and food trucks serving Cajun across the Denver metro area may give a quick, oneword answer when asked about the secret, but that does not mean it’s simple. Although there is some overlap, Cajun is not Southern. The love that comes in true Cajun food is all about the taste of Louisiana and New Orleans. Originally, Cajun from south Louisiana was considered peasant food, made from ingredients that rural families would have. The dishes focused on dirty rice, gumbos, jambalaya and andouille. But do not forget about the importance of frying everything from catfish and shrimp to alligator the Cajun way. Natalie Vice, owner of the popular Cajun King food truck in Castle Rock, said true New Orleans Cajun is all about love, which means big family, generational recipes and — most importantly — a whole lot of food. “We love our food,” she said. “We love our Cajun, and we are used to cooking for a lot of people we love.” As the Cajun King works toward opening a brick-and-mortar establishment, the business has built a name with its food truck that serves a little bit of everything known as Cajun, with a focus on boils. Vice said the boils are where food, family and love come together. In New Orleans, a seafood boil is tradition and part of the city’s culture, bringing families around a newspaper-lined table to eat large amounts of shellfish with bare hands and a lot of spice. Vice said Cajun King boils are authentic because they go directly to the source for supplies. This means traveling to Louisiana several times a year, picking up crawfish and alligator along with true-toCajun seasonings. At Jessie’s Smokin’ Nola, in Centennial, there is nothing generic about the food or owner Jessie Rayford. From his strong Southern accent to his dedication to making a true taste of Cajun for a continuous line of customers, Rayford is all about cooking it up right. While making his popular Half and Half dish, Rayford explains that putting love into Cajun means making sure there are no buildup of pellets in the batter. The Half and Half consists of fried catfish on a bed of rice smothered with half shrimp creole and half crawfish etouffee, which is a Cajun stew simmered in a sauce made from a light or blond roux. “There is only one secret to this food we make — love. I don’t care how long you been cooking,” he said. “That does not matter if you

I teach the importance of loving and respecting the work we’re doing. This is mine. This is my passion. I love what I do and sometimes, I gotta admit, I can get loud.” Rayford said his food all starts with the roux, which is a base mixture of butter and flour. “If the roux ain’t right,” he said, “it ain’t gonna happen.” In talking about his menu of recipes that he stresses all “come from my head,” Rayford talks and jokes with a line of regular customers, including another New Orleans man who says there is nothing better than having Rayford’s battered catfish between two pieces of white bread. Rayford said he makes sure the catfish is not muddy, explaining that a Cajun secret to making good catfish is to take it out of the water, dry it out, and take away that muddy flavor people complain about. Rayford is a constant director, pushing his staff to pass out perfect food. He shouts as he moves around the restaurant. He makes

south Alabama, and after learning Louisiana cuisine, he understands the importance of love, especially when it comes to the Lost Cajun’s batter. Serving up a fried plate of shrimp, catfish and allegator bites, Koen said there is no skipping details when it comes to frying Cajun meat. SEE CAJUN, P13

“Cajun is all about thought and care,” he said. “Stir the food often and stir it slow. When you think of a chain restaurant, you think of generic food that does not come close to the real thing. A lot of our processes come form 100-year-old recipes.” Lost Cajun has locations in Littleton, Highlands Ranch and Westminster. Some goodies at Lost Cajun include the gator bites and boudin balls. The boudin balls are a classic comfort food, consisting of pork sausage made with rice and seasonings that are stuffed in a casing. Being from Alabama, Koen is

no stranger to alligator, but noted that Cajun cooking Louisiana style makes them better. “I grew up eating gator, but always felt like I was biting into someone’s leather wallet,” he said. “With (Lost Cajun) gator bites, it’s all about trimming them properly and marinating until it’s time to lightly fry them up.” From Nola’s to Cajun King and Lost Cajun, all the restaurants
say they have their specialties, but one of the most popular menu items is the po’ boy. Originally known as the “poor boy,” the popular sandwich started in the 1920s during the New Orleans streetcar strike. The seafood po’ boy at Nola’s comes on French bread with lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup, and hot sauce. Nola’s po’ boys can be ordered with fried shrimp, fried catfish, fried crawfish, shrimp and
Cajun sausage, or Friday oysters, which Rayford said is directly from the bayou. One po’ boy is named after Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning. The Cajun Manning consists of fried crawfish, shrimp or a Cajun sausage. “They should have named this sandwich after me,” Rayford said. “But, given we are here in Denver, I named one after Peyton Manning.” At Cajun King’s the softness of the French bread is a perfect casing for the crunchy shrimp and mixture of sauces that make the sandwich unique. Cajun is all about good food and fun. There are several locations across the Denver metro area that will take anyone on a trip along Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Castle View tops Valor in boys soccer Freiberger nets goal in double overtime BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Tiernan Freiberger pretty well summed up the Castle View boys soccer season when he said “almost all our games this season have been close.” Castle View, seeded seventh in the state tournament bracket, notched a 1-0 victory over No. 10 Valor Christian in a game that went to double overtime on April 22. Freiberger got the game-winning goal for the Sabercats. Then in a quarterfinal match on the road against second-seeded Fairview, the Sabercats battled to a 1-1 tie in double overtime but were eliminated as the Knights advanced by winning the shootout on April 24. Castle View finished with a 9-2-0 record. Cherry Creek, the 16th and final seed, also had two close games, but the Bruins won both to earn a ticket to the semifinals on April 28. Mitch Hughes scored on a header off a corner kick by Cyrus Gulati in the 78th minute as the Bruins upset top-seeded Regis Jesuit, 1-0, on April 22. In an April 24 quarterfinal match against ninth-seeded Boulder, Macklin Perry scored with six minutes remaining in the first overtime period in a 1-0 Creek over the Panthers. Cherry Creek (8-4-1) will play Centennial League rival Grandview (11-1-0) in one semifinal game at 6 p.m. on April 28 at Englewood High School. The Wolves will be out to avenge their only loss of the season since the Bruins beat the fourthseeded Wolves, 3-1, on the opening day of the regular season. In the quarterfinal contest against Fairview, Cooper Landry gave Castle View a 1-0 lead with a goal on a header in the 66th minute but Fairview’s Mason Sunderland, who tallied one of the shootout goals, tied the game with 11 minutes remaining in regulation time. Fairview kept pressure on Castle

View the entire second half but Sabercats goalie William Kopp made a few diving saves and Knights, with 20 seconds still on the clock in regulation time, had a shot hit off the cross bar on the top of the goal. Kopp made 18 saves against Fairview and played an important role in the win over Valor Christian with some key stops and finished with 14 saves “He kept us in the game,” said Castle View coach Mark Burfeind after the first round game. “He made some good saves. We started slow but he kept us in and we kept battling and played much better in the second half.” Castle View was missing two of its top players because of COVID protocols. Jack Pucciano, the leading scorer in the Continental League, and Enrique Mujica missed the Valor game but played in the quar-
terfinal match against Fairview. Freiberger’s goal against Valor came after a pass from Bailey Voit. “Bailey fed me on the right side, the center back turned to the inside, the goal keeper was to the left of the goal, I aimed for the back corner and the shot went right in. It was really cool to come out with a 1-0 win rather than a 1-0 loss. I was hoping it would not come down to a shootout.” The Eagles lost last season in a playoff shootout to Rock Canyon after a 0-0 double overtime tie. “So, we were ready for a shootout but kudos to them,” said Valor coach Brian Shultz whose team wound up with an 8-2-1 record. “They got their counterattack, and the guy put it away. I want to congratulate Castle View and that team was first class.” Field hockey pairings – Pair-
ings were set for the Colorado field hockey semifinals and finals which were played April 26-27 at the Stutler Bowl. Colorado Academy (7-0-2) was top seeded and played Regis Jesuit (7-1) in the first semifinal while second-seeded Cherry Creek (9-1) faced Palmer Ridge (5-0-4) in the second semi. Wolfe honored – Cherry Creek senior Parker Wolfe, who battled COVID but still won the boys state championship with a record time of 14:10.04, was honored as the Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year and was named on April 19 as the Gatorade National Player of the Year. Volleyball regionals – The eight three-team regionals for girls volleyball will be May 1 with each regional champion advancing to the state tournament which will be May 12-13 at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs.
Valor coach recalls terrific journey as season closes Schultz recounts great match-up with Castle View BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Valor Christian boys soccer coach Brian Schultz paused a minute to reflect on the journey his team went on this season. The Eagles finished the season with an 8-2-1 record after the 10thseeded Eagles lost a 1-0 double overtime decision to seventh-seeded Castle View in a first round state
playoff game played April 22 at Douglas County Stadium. “It was a great season and we measure it by the journey and not necessarily by the result at the end,” said Schultz. “We had a tremendous journey.” Valor’s journey ended when Tiernan Freiberger controlled a pass from Bailey Voit and scored with 9:45 played in the second, 15-minute overtime period. The Eagles had chances to score during the match but couldn’t convert as Castle View goalie William Kopp was credited with 14 saves. “You have to give credit to their
team,” said Schultz referring to Castle View. “They were not easy to get behind. We got a number of balls into the box and had our opportunities and a few of them were inches away. “But that was a great team we played and we scouted them. We knew they play a lot like us and we knew we would have to shut down the middle of the field on them. Our center mids did a great job.” Freiberger took advantage of a two-on-two situation and tallied the game-winning goal. “I aimed for the back left corner,” said the Sabercats’ senior. “He
(Valor goalie) was out of position and the shot went right in. All our games this season have been close games. It was really cool to come out with a 1-0 win rather than a 1-0 loss. I was hoping it would not go to a shootout.” Schultz was prepared for a shootout. “We lost last season to Rock Canyon in a shootout,” he added. “It was 0-0 in double overtime so we were ready for another shootout but kudos to them. They got their counter attack and the guy put it away. I want to congratulate Castle View. They were first class.”

Castle Pines vaccine clinic open to all Up to 1,200 doses of the Pizer vaccine available per day to residents 16 and up BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A makeshift COVID-19 vaccination clinic has been set up to serve up to 1,200 people per day at the old Safeway building in Castle Pines. About 5,000 people have been vaccinated since the clinic opened in early April. Castle Pines Mayor Tera Radloff said, “While they don’t have an ongoing presence in our community, Safeway has demonstrated they can be a resource to the community of Castle Pines. Having a convenient vaccination location with a variety of available times has been welcomed by our local community and surrounding area. The speed at which the appointments were scheduled demonstrates the demand and interest.” The City of Castle Pines worked with Denver Mayor Michael Han-
cock and Safeway to bring a pop-up vaccine center at 560 Castle Pines Parkway. “It was a pleasure to work with Safeway, Mayor Radloff and other regional partners to bring a vaccine center to Castle Pines,” said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock. “The virus knows no borders, and this is a great example of how a regional approach can address our common needs and concerns.” Nikki Price, director of pharmacy operations for Albertsons/Safeway Pharmacies, said the clinic is open to everyone, noting that people from all over the Denver metro region have taken advantage of the convenient clinic, located just off Interstate 25, in the first three weeks. The location is offering the Pizer vaccine, which means anyone 16 and up can get vaccinated. This version of the vaccination requires two doses three weeks apart. “We are going to keep doing this as long as there is a demand,” Price said. “We want to do our part to get people back to normal. We want people to get back to hugging family members and living life. We want students who are in sports and
Castle Pines Clinic details: Location: 560 Castle Pines Parkway, just off Interstate 24 To register: www.mhealthsystem.com/ castlepinesvaccinecenter Other Douglas County clinics: www.douglas.co.us/covid-vaccinationinformation/ State information: covid19.colorado. gov/vaccine school to come get vaccinated and be safe.” This is not a walk-in clinic. Price said residents need to register online before coming in. To register, visit the website at www.mhealthsystem.com/castlepinesvaccinecenter. Price said she has seen a declined in registrations at the location. During the week of April 20, Price said they started the week full of appointments, but they steadily declined through Sunday. This trend is also being reflected at the national level during the week of April 20, with daily vaccination showing decreasing rates in many areas.

After taking office, President Joe Biden said one of his goals in his first 100 days was to have 100 million Americans vaccinated. The goal was exceeded given more than 200 million people have received at least one dose of a vaccine. According to information released by Our World Data, daily rates are on the decline. In early April, it was estimated more than four million doses were administered in one day. By April 21, the average dropped to 3.02 million. According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Safety, 3.6 million vaccinations have been administered statewide. About 2.3 million Coloradans have received at least one dose of the vaccine and 1.4 million are fully immunized. Earlier this month, the state announced the availability of vaccines for all adults 16 and older.

Imagination soars at ‘Flights of Fantasy’ Visitors can get lost in artistic scenes at show running through June 1 BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Brilliant colors, paintings in motion, it seems ... welcome us to the new exhibit, “Flights of Fantasy,” at Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery in Littleton, open during box office hours. Littleton Fine Arts Guild members have responded to a challenge to let the imagination take over and the resulting exhibit, which runs through June 1, is like a mini vacation — a really nifty way for spring to begin! This handsome gallery is open and inviting — stroll around at your leisure — no tickets or reservations necessary. A viewer can wander and make up stories as she goes ... Well-known Denver area encaustic painter Victoria Eubanks was juror for “Flights of Fantasy” and she awarded the Best of Show/ First Place ribbon to Stacy Roberts’ soft pastel painting, “The Whole of the Moon,” which suggests one of our otherworldly summer sunsets/ moonrises. Fuschia, pink and whiteish clouds swirl, shimmer — and seem to move as a dazzled viewer stands before it.
IF YOU GO Town Hall Arts Center is at 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Box office hours: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday to Friday. Admission free. 303-794-2787, ext. 5; townhallartscenter.org. The Second Place ribbon was awarded to Rita Campbell’s colorful, precise “Magic Hairspray,” rendered in alcohol ink in nearlystained glass bright color that makes this small work jump out from the wall ... And what is she thinking??? Photographer Bill Knoll’s trio of young eagles, around their nest: “Incoming Flight,” won Third Place and invites an up-close look at the fine detail. One wonders how close Knoll really was ... I’d think the eaglets would have shied away ... you can practically hear them and sense their joy as they get ready to take over their world! Honorable Mention ribbons went to the happily-haunted watercolor collage, “Still Hangin’ Around,” by Sharon Wink and to Teri Hendrix’s precise acrylic painting, “City Park in My Mind.” “Dancing by the Lake,” a soft colored oil painting by Pam Roth O’Mara, suggests some sort of imaginary game that involves lots of end-of-the-day splashing along the edge of said lake — summer memories for many of us, I’d imagine ... O’Mara’s control of the light

is special — one can almost smell that air. Sally Van der Camp’s assemblage piece, “Flight of a Feather,” is tall, narrow and precise. One can imagine the artist coming across a random feather and thinking: “hmm — what can I do with this?” Nice presentation against a metallic background, contrasting textures ... “Twisted Flatware and Strawberry” by photographer Joe Bonita made me wonder about a backstory. Where had that somewhat worn plate been over the years? The visitor thinks about a fancy dinner table, set with linens and silver, a
long time ago ... who was there? Another bit of worn silverware: Peggy Deitz’s “Lady Bitton” raises another imaginary scenes: a longago tea party? And Merrie Wicks’ “Patang” is a painting depicting three bright Japanese fish-shaped kites flying from a post. “Patang” means kite — my new word for the day! “Bling,” an assemblage by Carol Broere, includes rhinestones, a red gemstone, a carved brooch and a tiny porcelain flower tucked in the lower left corner. It’s really hard to resist touching this and a number of others...
