THE SEASON FOR SHARING

Board to use $2.1 million to balance budget BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In adopting its 2021-2022 budget, the Weld Re-8 board of education had to dip into more than $2 million of what’s called a beginning fund balance so it could adopt a balanced budget. State law allows school boards to use those funds as long as the purpose and amounts are clear and that the use doesn’t lead to an ongoing deficit. According to the board resolution, $2.1 million of the general fund goes to “continuing staffing levels and ongoing daily activities of the district.” The adopted budget also The children attending a summer session at the Independence school are dressed in the 1800s style.

yard bloomed from early Spring through late Fall with many flowers, and her hummingbird and bird feeders were always full. She was an avid snow- and water-skier and ice skater, and took full advantage of the slopes and Sand Hill lake until late old age forced her to quit. Husband Richard died in 2007 after 58 years of happy marriage. Subsequently she joined the Trinity United Methodist Church choir in Denver, and had the opportunity to travel to Italy and perform with that group. In recent years Marian received a great deal of enjoyment from working with her adult piano students. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and teacher.

City aims to clean up parts of municipal code

Money matters 1 Outgoing Fort Lupton Public & School Library Director Sarah Frank asked council’s approval to spend

Money matters 2 The operations manager for the city’s water and wastewater plant, Jon Mays, asked council for $15,000 to clean out the city’s water tanks. Mays knows which firm he wants to do the job, Inland Potable Service. It submitted a bid of $11,000. Mays wants to tack on an extra $3,750 to take care of removing extra sediment. Mays told council dive teams go into the tanks and drain them. “We get a video and a full report,” he said. “I can tell you it’s not very exciting (to see). But if you want a video, I’ll get you one.”

risks, including expensive leases and licensing fees. Stieber wondered what happens if the city doesn’t get four applications. “What’s in the code to say that we will have four places?” she asked. “You’re not required to have four,” Ausmus said. “The ordinance says ‘up to four.’”

Stieber also wondered what happens if there’s a signed lease without an approved city license. Bauer said licenses are contingent. “They have to have a deed or a lease to submit an application to local entities or the state,” she said. Councilman Tommy Holton suggested using the same process as is

in place for liquor licenses. Ausmus said that wouldn’t work because there’s no cap on liquor licenses. Councilman David Crespin cautioned council to not be subjective in its decisions. “We could choose ones we like and not choose ones we don’t like, not that we would,” he said.

She told council there was about $4 million left in the reserve fund. “It’s a smaller building, which saves us some square feet without impacting how we run the library and the services we provide,” Frank told council. “We still have a remodeling at the high school,” which has been home to the library. Frank also outlined some changes in the bylaws concerning when the city will receive the library’s budget each year. Councilman Tommy Holton, who’s been critical of the library board, said he didn’t receive any of the library’s materials until the June 29 study session.

One of the changes, thanks to a new law from the Legislature, makes Pena the recipient of complaints about municipal campaign finance complaints. Before, those wound up with the secretary of state’s office. Another change could make the code enforcement department a part of the police department instead of the planning and development department.

Leave wildlife alone, state officials urge Adopted wildlife often sent to rehab centers before being released BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When a well-meaning resident found and adopted a family of racoons earlier this year, Weld County animal control officials knew just what to do. They gave the resident a summons and sent the litter of racoons off to a wildlife rehabilitation center. “When young wildlife is left alone, it’s because the mother is searching for food. It always best to monitor the situation for a few days, if the mother does not return within 48 hours, then contact the Colorado Department of Wildlife. If you interfere with those animals it could leave them orphaned and lead them to death,” said Jason Clay, public information officer, Colorado Department of Wildlife. It’s against the law to take in or feed wild animals without special licensing. Clay said if you take a wild animal to a rehabilitation center, make sure it is licensed because there are unlicensed rehabilitation centers, and that’s illegal, too. “The state licensed wildlife rehabilitation centers have a permit and are trained to take these species in and then release them into the wild. They do great work,” said Clay. Wildlife rehabilitation centers Nanci Limbach founded the Pauline S. Schneegas Wildlife Foundation non-profit rehabilitation Center in Silt more than 35 years ago. It is named after her grandmother, who also had a love for caring for ani-

mals. Limbach’s passion for saving animals started as a little girl. “When I was a little girl, all the kids would bring the animals to me to help and save them. They also brought me a squirrel, I named ‘Peanutty,’” said Limbach. Limbach went to vet tech school and also taught vet tech school. It is required for the staff to take specific training to rehabilitate wild animal species and to open a wildlife rehabilitation center, it is required to have a building and neonatal units. Limbach’s Rehabilitation Center has taken in 16 raccoons and fawns

for rehabbing to release back into the wild. They also take in bears and mountain lions, birds and bats. Most of the wild animals they receive are babies that are usually are a day old. The first process is to test and vaccinate the animals for rabies and parvo. Also, when the staff is around wild animals they wear gowns, N-95 masks, and shields because animals can also get COVID. The staff receives rabies vaccines every two years in case they are bitten by an infected animal. Rehabilitation process The baby raccoons are placed in a

neonatal unit. Once their eyes open, they are bottle-fed with Esbilac puppy milk every two hours, then every four hours to wean them off the milk and to start eating solid food. The staff does not form a close relationship with the animals because they need to be released into the wild. Each species eats specific foods for its diet. Raccoons eat everything such as meat, poultry, and vegetables. Preparation to release into the wild In the next process, the raccoon is released into a manmade outdoor compound that is similar to the species environment with other raccoons. Here, animals have to catch their food such as fish from the water and adapt to the outdoor environment. The raccoons are closely monitored. Once the staff determines the animal can adapt to the outdoor environment, then, by law, officials have to release the animals within 10 miles from where they were found. “It’s important to bring them to a rehabilitation center because they will live, if you don’t, they will not live,” said Limbach. If a wild animal appears to be abandoned, sick or injured, contact the Colorado Parks and Wildlife at 970-472-4300, or take the animal to a licensed rehabilitation center. Also, be cautious not to touch or handle wildlife to avoid the risk of exposure to rabies. For a list of animal-related diseases visit: WCDPHE zoonotic diseases webpage The list of rehabilitation centers is available on the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website, https://cpw. state.co.us/Documents/RulesRegs/ SpecialLicenses/WildlifeRehabilitation/PublicRehabListing.pdf.

Deputies investigating highway incident near Mead STAFF REPORT

MEAD -- Weld County sheriff’s deputies are looking into a highway disturbance that happened June 26 along Interstate 25 near Mead. Deputies want to identify the driver of a Silver Acura TL who swerved in and out of lanes and

prevented other motorists from passing him as he traveled in the northbound lanes. Sheriff’s office spokesman Joe Moylan said the man stopped his car in the center lane of the interstate and stepped out of his car to confront a motorist. during that time, the driver of the Acura acted as if

he was going to punch the motorist, Moylan said. The suspect got back into the car, threw it into reverse and almost hit the victim’s car. Moylan said a group of children and a friend were in the victim’s car. The suspect stepped out of his car a second time, talked some more and then left.

Moylan described the suspect as a black man, about 40 years old, bald and weighing about 200 pounds. He stands about 5 feet 10 inches tall. Anyone who recognizes the man should call deputy Kyle Keiser at 970-400-4588.

Thornton overrides Weld water pipeline denial Following protests from Weld County residents during public comments, Thornton City Council approves resolution to start pipeline construction BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton can start building a segment of a water pipeline in Weld County, even though the Weld County Board of Commissioners told the city “no” two months ago. On Tuesday night, Thornton City Council unanimously approved a resolution that overrides Weld County’s denial of a permit to build a segment of the Thornton Water Project, and to authorize commencement of the pipeline’s construction. The entire Thornton Water Project is 74 miles long and it will deliver water from a reservoir near Fort Collins, nearly doubling the city’s current water supply. Twelve miles of the pipeline will run through Larimer County, 34 miles through Weld County, and five miles through Adams County. The rest of the pipeline will go in municipalities throughout those three counties. “Thornton has followed all the processes, regulations required in

every jurisdiction that our project impacts,” said Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann at a June 29 meeting. “But at the end of the day, we have to use every option that we can to make sure that the pipeline is constructed, and the water arrives here in Thornton.” The council discussed the resolution very little before approving it at a June 29 meeting. Though council’s vote for approval was expected, Weld County residents who were at the meeting protested. “You are sickening, unconscionable and disgraceful people of the lowest order serving your selfish interests only and disregarding the basic tenets of humanity and fairness,” said Rebecca Hicks to council during public comments. “You and your sinister minions have destroyed lives and properties in your reprehensible land grab and unconscionable use of eminent domain in your at-risk schemes and tactics,” Hicks added. With Fourth of July coming up, Hicks likened Thornton to the 18thcentury British Empire. Weld County landowners were influential opponents of Thornton when the city went through the permit application process. In 2019, the Weld County Planning Commission recommended approval of the project, but landowner protest from landowners caused the planning commission to reverse its recommendation in 2020. Residents’ complaints were also cited by com-

Northglenn religious buffer zone moves forward Following years of protests at a mosque in town, a new ordinance creates a ”bubble” around houses of worship BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With unanimous support from Northglenn City Council, a new ordinance places stricter limits on protests at religious institutions in town. “I think that this is long overdue for our community, and anybody who wants to practice whatever religion they choose in this city should have the right to do so peacefully,” said Councilor Julie Duran Mullica at a June 28 meeting, right before council voted for a resolution to create a religious buffer zone. The resolution passed on first reading and will need to be approved a second time before it is enacted. The ordinance would prohibit a protester from handing out leaflets, displaying a sign, or engaging in oral protest within 100 feet of the entrance of a door to a religious facility. It also would prohibit protesting activities specifically within 8 feet of a person entering or exiting the religious facility without that person’s consent. The ordinance would strengthen

previous laws that enable people to enter a religious facility unimpeded, said City Attorney Corey Hoffman at the June 28 meeting. At the same time, Hoffman added, “it is designed to balance the rights of the folks who still want to protest, potentially in front of a religious facility.” The ordinance arose from an ongoing incident at Masjid Ikhlas, or the Metropolitan Denver North Islamic Center, in which a protester named Richard Roy Blake visited the mosque on and off for several years. Blake’s protests involved handing out leaflets and holding up signs in the mosque’s parking lot or on the walkway adjacent to the property. In January 2019, Northglenn police ticketed Blake for obstructing the walkway, and a municipal court jury convicted him shortly afterwards. Blake appealed the municipal court conviction in Adams County District Court, but Adams County District Court Judge Teri Vasquez upheld the conviction in a June 23 ruling. Blake is suing the city in U.S. District Court and the mosque in Adams County District Court. The religious buffer zone ordinance is directly a result of the situation at Masjid Ikhlas. Northglenn police have had to respond to protests at the mosque on several occasions. Hoffman didn’t mention Blake or the mosque by name at the June 28 meeting, but the city attorney alluded to specific details with the case.

missioners as a reason for denying the permit at a hearing on May 5. In addition to elevating landowners’ complaints, Weld County commissioners said the pipeline would negatively affect future growth and that it was inconsistent with a new county comprehensive plan, according to a Weld County board resolution dated June 3. Some Weld County residents want Thornton to build its pipeline in the right-of-way, or literally underneath a county road, instead of on private land next to the road. Thornton has always wanted the opposite and since the beginning of the application process, has had support from Weld County staff. Building in the right-of-way requires an easement from the county, while building outside of the rightof-way requires easements from private landowners. Going with the private land option, Thornton went out and obtained easements from 98% of landowners during the permit application process. Some easements were obtained through eminent domain proceedings, frustrating specific landowners and further provoking their protest. The pipeline will be buried four feet underground. The city will compensate any landowners, especially farmers, whose land and crops are damaged by construction. Weld County landowners were relieved when Weld County commissioners denied the permit, meaning they were beyond frustrated at the

news that Thornton could simply reverse the denial. “Never did we expect to have our land stolen by unscrupulous people who could by statutory loopholes destroy our rights to ownership,” Hicks said at the June 29 council meeting. City spokesman Todd Barnes confirmed that the city has already reached an agreement with Hicks’ family to construct part of the pipeline on their farm, just south of Johnstown. Kathy Zeiler Weinmeister, who spoke during public comments on behalf of Zeiler Farms Inc. in Weld County, said Thornton, “is choosing to pursue its timeline without regards to the real value of our land.” A state statute allows Thornton to overrule Weld County’s denial because the city is financing and constructing the pipeline, not the county. Before the June 29 council meeting, Weld County negotiated terms with Thornton after the county recognized Thornton was able to override the denial. The terms still require the city to apply for road construction permits in areas where the pipeline crosses the street, to regularly communicate with county staff about the progress of construction, and to be diligent about dust management. The city hasn’t said yet when it plans to break ground.

Retailers bracing as Denver bag fee begins Implementation of law was delayed through 2020

Retail stores will list the number of bags and the resulting charge separately on their receipts.

BY REBECCA SPIESS DENVERITE

Since July 1, Denverites have had three options at the grocery store: bring your own reused bag, go without one… or pay 10 cents for each one. According to the city, Denver uses more than 100 million disposable bags every year, yet only 5 percent are ever recycled. The plastic bags are notoriously difficult to recycle and cannot be collected by the city in their purple recycling bins either. Paper bags are easier to recycle, but require a lot of resources to make. So where will you see the fee? All retail stores, including grocery stores, department stores, liquor

stores and hardware stores. The exceptions include businesses where retail is not the main revenue generator, like beauty salons or restaurants. Temporary vendors, like farmers markets, won’t have to charge, either; and dispensaries are exempt because their little paper bags are too small to fall into this ordinance.

A few more details The law was passed in 2019, but implementation was delayed because nobody wanted to ask for even one more dime in 2020. Bags that are provided within a store don’t carry a charge. For example, you won’t be required to pay for bags containing prescription medications, or for the small plastic bags in the produce aisles. If you buy flowers or potted plants, you also won’t be charged for the bag collecting water drips. Individuals on federal food assistance programs such as SNAP or EBT will also be exempt from paying the fee. What is the city going to do with their new dimes? Nothing exciting, really. Stores get to keep 40 percent

to cover the cost of implementing the fee (which will likely include putting up new signage and training employees). They can also use the money to provide free reusable bags to customers. The other 60 percent goes back to the city which, it says, it will use to cover the program, hand out free disposable bags, create PSAs and maybe even fund community cleanups. And to people who use disposable bags to collect their recycling, the city has a simple answer. Put your recyclables in your purple bins without them, loose. No one needs the bags at all, and they actually cause damage to recycling equipment. This story is from Denverite, a nonprofit Denver news source affiliated with CPR News. Used by permission.

Mental health apps are confusing glut Only a tiny handful have been vetted, out of tens of thousands BY JENNY GOLD KAISER HEALTH NEWS

In the eyes of the tech industry, mental health treatment is an area ripe for disruption. In any given year, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience a form of mental illness, according to federal estimates. And research indicates only about half of them receive treatment in a system that is understaffed and ill distributed to meet demand. For tech startups looking to cash in on unmet need, that translates into more than 50 million potential customers. Venture capital firms invested more than $2.4 billion in digital behavioral health apps in 2020 — more than twice the amount invested in 2019 — touting support or treatment for issues from burnout and depression to ADHD and bipolar disorder. At least seven mental health app companies have achieved “unicorn” status and are valued at more than $1 billion. But even as industry hype mounts, researchers and companies are scrambling to prove these apps actually work. Of the estimated 20,000 mental health apps available for download on personal computers and smartphones, just five have been formally vetted and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which largely has taken a hands-off approach to regulating the space. “Development has really outpaced the science,” said Stephen Schueller, a clinical psychologist at the University of California-Irvine who specializes in the development and evaluation of digital mental health products. Type “depression” or “anxiety” into an app store, and you’ll be met with a dizzying list of results. There

are thousands of “wellness” apps like Headspace that counsel people on breathing exercises and other techniques to help them feel more mindful. Apps such as Woebot and TalkLife profess to help manage conditions like anxiety and postpartum depression using games, mood journaling or text exchanges with peers or automated bots. Some apps are meant to be used alongside in-person therapy, and others on their own. Several of the most popular, like Talkspace, BetterHelp and Ginger, promise access to treatment with a licensed therapist over text message, phone or video. Others, including Brightside and Cerebral, connect users to psychiatrists who can prescribe antidepressants. Most products make their money by charging consumers a monthly or annual fee, with the option to purchase extras like video sessions with a therapist. Others contract directly with employers or insurers. And, yes, a small portion of these apps have promising research to back them up. Several studies, for example, have found that cognitive behavioral therapy, a mainstay of treatment for depression and anxiety that seeks to help patients change negative thought patterns, is as effective when delivered using web-based platforms as when done in person by a licensed professional. And the pandemic has bolstered claims that patients are willing to trade in-person visits for the ease of online connection. Upbeat view “Digital mental health can be viewed as a way to extend the mental resources that we have,” said David Mohr, who directs the Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. A step-care model, for example, would allow patients with milder symptoms to be treated via technology while reserving in-person care for patients who need something more. The challenge for consumers is

separating the apps that might help from those that offer little more than distraction — or could actually do harm. Some companies offering mental health treatment had recently been doing something totally different — for example, an online seller of erectile dysfunction and hair loss treatments has started offering psychiatric evaluations and prescribing and selling antidepressants. Tech companies are by nature forprofit and, in the rush to compete in a saturated market, many are selling a product with an appealing user interface but little evidence of effectiveness. A 2020 analysis by Australian researchers reviewing nearly 300 apps for anxiety and depression found just 6% of the companies that boasted an evidence-based framework in the app store description for their products had published any evidence. Nor do star ratings and download totals offer much context: An April study from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School found little correlation between app store metrics and treatment quality. “No one is competing based on privacy, safety or evidence. They’re competing on aesthetics, in part, on page ranking, marketing on brand awareness,” said Dr. John Torous, director of the digital psychiatry division at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and one of the authors of the April study. “There’s an implicit assumption that the app is better than nothing. But what if it isn’t better than nothing?” One problem, said Dr. Ipsit Vahia, a geriatric psychiatrist and medical director of the McLean Institute for Technology in Psychiatry, is that randomized control studies of the kind that might prove an app’s effectiveness can take years, far slower than the rapid innovation in tech. “In general, the health care industry and the technology industry work at very different paces,” Vahia said. Seeing differences

Dr. David Mou, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital who is chief medical officer at Cerebral, said he agrees that everything new in health care must be done deliberately and conservatively to avoid patient harm. But he said some people in the mental health field are painting all companies with the same brush and failing to differentiate those that are datadriven from those trying to grow at any cost. “They look at us and say we’re all VC-backed bros in a basement trying to redesign health care. And that’s not true. It may have been true 10 years ago, but it isn’t true today,” said Mou. The long-term winners, he said, will be those that are “evidence-based and measure quality like crazy.” Cerebral offers online therapy and medication management and delivery for a range of mental illnesses. The monthly subscription fees range from $29 to $325, depending on the level and frequency of care, as well as insurance coverage. Mou said Cerebral is already able to demonstrate some advantages. While many top hospital systems might have a months-long wait for care, he said, someone in crisis can reach a Cerebral provider almost immediately. “Within minutes you are able to talk with someone with one of our instant live visits. That in itself is a huge win.” Even critics of the tech explosion are quick to acknowledge that the current brick-and-mortar system of mental health is dated and inadequate. In recent years, the issues surrounding mental illness and lack of access to treatment have infiltrated public dialogue. Brain illnesses that many families once squirreled away from view have become the stuff of celebrity culture and dinner-table chatter.

Summer takes shape at the Independence School BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the South Platte Valley Historical Society’s Independence School, learning about history and living it tend to be the same thing. “It’s my fourth year teaching, and I can do this until I die! I get excited about teaching history,” said LaVon Watson with SPVHS. The Independence School has been teaching generations of children since the Fort Lupton Fort was established in the 1800s. South Platte Valley Historical Society is continuing the tradition of offering summer school classes meant to teach the next generations of children about history in an 1800s classroom and schoolhouse. Also, staff supplies the 1800s clothing that children wore back in the day. LaVon teaches with the original McGuffey primer textbook series, an early education teacher’s guide by William Holmes McGuffey. He was a 19th-century educator and preacher. Courses are available in

Legacy admissions ban is meant as message Few of Colorado’s public universities considered family ties before new law BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT

Colorado made news in May as the first state in the nation to ban legacy admissions at its public colleges. But few colleges in the state even consider an applicant’s family ties to a school, so what does the law really change? The answer, advocates say: perception. They hope the law especially helps people of color, as well as low-income and first-generation students see these institutions as open to them. Supporters believe the ban on legacy admissions makes a statement about who Colorado values in being admitted into college and clarifies the role of family ties to a school. Sarah Staron, a University of Colorado-Denver graduate stu-

MENTAL HEALTH FROM PAGE 6

ing the lives of people with mental illness has proven stubbornly difficult. Over the past several decades — while the U.S. successfully

dent, helped push for the bill because of the weight she believes perception plays in college applications. She recalls classmates wondering in lunchroom conversations whether having a family member who went to a university meant better odds in being admitted. That speculation can keep certain students from applying, she said, and the perception that legacy admissions ensured you were a shoo-in to a school. The new law sends a clear message, Staron said. “We are saying that we will not stand for inherited privilege in Colorado.” In reality, family ties are rarely a factor in admissions at the state’s public colleges. Eight of the 12 institutions officially do not consider family ties. The other four — Colorado State University, the Colorado School of Mines, Colorado Mesa University and Western Colorado University — report they consider those ties. They also admit most of the students who apply. In fact, Colorado State, Western Colorado, and Colorado Mesa ac-

cept roughly 4 out 5 applicants. Mines accepts about half of all students who apply. Nationally, legacy admissions play a role at wealthy private universities, where fewer than 1 in 5 applicants get in. Richard Kahlenberg, an expert on admissions, said legacy admissions have huge consequences. He pointed to research that found that about half of leaders in U.S. business and government come from just 12 wealthy higher education institutions. That’s why, he said, “an unfair admissions policy like legacy preference matters.” Even if few Colorado schools use legacy admissions, Kahlenberg said the law sends a powerful message about which students should go to college. School leaders across the state supported the bill. Several had changed their policies. The University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Northern Colorado, for instance, ended the practice in the past two years. Clark Brigger, executive director

of admissions at CU Boulder, said in a written statement that the school removed legacy admissions at the same time it made national standardized testing scores optional. The state legislature also approved a bill this year that makes the ACT and SAT optional in college admissions. Since the changes, Brigger said applications have risen 24% among students of color and 11% among first generation students. Even schools that do ask about an applicant’s family connection claim that they do not consider that information in admissions. Heather Daniels, director of admissions at Colorado State University, said the school asks applicants about alumni in their family simply to collect the data. Western Colorado University spokesman Chris Rourke said the school doesn’t use alumni connections as a top consideration in admissions. Advocates said that even admissions staff themselves are confused about the role of alumni connections in admissions.

lowered death rates for cancer, heart disease and other major illnesses — deaths by suicide and drug overdose have continued to climb. Federal law theoretically requires insurance companies to cover brain illness as they would any other illness. But finding affordable care remains a challenge, largely because

of a shortage of licensed mental health professionals and ongoing inequities in insurance coverage. In a nation where huge swaths of the population lack a primary care doctor and health insurance — but most everyone has a cellphone — connecting people to treatment via mobile apps would seem a logical solution. And, for some, the opportunity to talk about their mental health challenges anonymously makes online treatment an attractive alternative. Still, many of the experts who welcome the potential for innovation in mental health treatment acknowledge that consumers are getting little guidance in how to choose a reputable option. “Wellness” apps that promote a healthy lifestyle or apps that help people manage their disease without providing specific treatment suggestions can avoid FDA regulation. But even those that offer patient-specific diagnoses and treatment recommendations that would seem to fall squarely under the FDA’s authority do not seem to garner the agency’s attention, according to industry experts. “The FDA has been really, really lax on enforcing in digital health for reasons that are not entirely clear to me,” said Bradley Merrill Thompson, a lawyer at Epstein Becker Green who advises companies on FDA regulations. “Anybody could spend 20 minutes on the app store and find dozens of examples of apps that make medical device claims, and that have been doing so for some time, without any effort by the FDA to rein them in.” In response to questions from KHN about its approach to regulating mental health apps, the FDA sent a brief statement. “As circumstances change and new needs arise, FDA is ready to meet and address these challenges, especially in the areas of mental health,” the statement reads in part. “We would like to see more evidence-based products in this area, which is why we remain committed to facilitating the

development of additional safe and effective therapies for patients who rely on these products.”

Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided somewhat, people are feeling freer to travel. But while it’s nice for you to take a vacation, you won’t want your investments to do the same. How can you keep them working on your behalf? First, invest consistently. If you only dabble in investing, occasionally putting some money in to one investment or another, it will be difficult to build a portfolio that’s consistently working in your best interest. Also, you need to own enough of the types of investments that can provide the growth you need to reach your long-term goals. And make sure you’re getting the most out of these investments. For example, your 401(k) and IRA are designed for your retirement – so try to avoid tapping into them early. Finally, review your investment portfolio at least once a year to make sure it’s still performing the way you intend. If it’s not helping you make the progress you need to achieve your objectives, you may want to make some changes. If you’re traveling this summer, relax, take in the sights and enjoy yourself – but keep those investments working hard.

Psychiatrist has unique view Dr. Tom Insel, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, has a unique view of the evolving landscape. In 2015, Insel left his job as director of the National Institute of Mental Health, a post he had held since 2002, trading the halls of government for the open floor plans of Silicon Valley to work in digital mental health. He started at Google’s Verily, then co-founded Mindstrong Health, a startup researching how smartphone technology could be used to predict and diagnose mental health crises. He has since left to advise California officials on behavioral health issues. Insel said he believes in the promise of digital mental health but that it will take time to find its highest and best use. He noted, for example, that most of the apps on the market focus on the problem of access: They make care more convenient. But they’re overlooking a more basic problem: quality. Unlike most fields of medicine, mental health providers rarely measure whether the care they provide makes patients better. “A lot of what we need is not just more access. It’s not just recreating the brick-and-mortar system and letting people do it by phone or Zoom,” Insel said. Instead, he argued, digital health should focus on measuring whether treatments improve people’s lives. “I have no doubt that this field will transform mental health treatment and diagnosis,” Insel said, “but we’re in the first act of a five-act play. I don’t think we’re anywhere near the kinds of solutions that we need in the real world.” This story is from Kaiser Health News, a nonprofit news service covering health issues.

Yes to limited education perks for college athletes Local athletes say decision opens gates for pay to play BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There are a couple of schools of thought when it comes to the recent Supreme Court decision that extend benefits to student-athletes as part of their scholarships. such as computers. The decision was 9-0. Last week, the NCAA approved compensation for athletes’ use of images, names and likeness. Last month’s court ruling does not allow students to receive money for playing college sports. But some local college athletes think that day is coming. “I honestly do believe college athletes should get paid,” said Fort Lupton High School alumnus Antonio Marquez, who runs track and cross country at Western State Colorado University in Gunnison. “If you look at the stats of where college makes most of their money outside of registering students, it’s from athletics. You can see colleges with bigger stadiums, then some

NFL ones now, and it’s just crazy because they have the same media, equipment, and fans as a professional team. But they just don’t get paid.” Former Frederick football player Blake Duran agreed with the court’s findings. “Student athletes live very busy lives with practice and school. We don’t have the time to worry about jobs or getting paid somehow because we are so busy,” said Duran, who is playing football at Dakota University in Madison, South Dakota. “With most kids living off campus in apartments, it makes it a lot harder to have to pay for all of that. But with the Supreme Court’s ruling, it will change a lot, and I think it is good. “I believe in change,” Marquez said. “I would be planning to take advantage of it. I believe they should be paid and (the court’s 9-0 decision) could definitely open the door to further conversations about the topic.” “I do plan on taking advantage of this because as a student-athlete, I can use all the help I can,” Duran said. “I think college athletes should get to have paid endorsements if

they would like them. Endorsements are a great way for athletes to get their name out there and establish themselves for the pros off the field or court. I think this decision will

open many doors that will overall help the student athletes a ton. All in all, I couldn’t be happier with their decision.”

Westminster’s Hatz heads to Japan for Paralympics BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Beatriz Hatz has a full summer ahead of her. The Westminster resident continues to train in the 100-meter dash, the 200-meters and the long jump because it’s part of her routine. There’s also this. She qualified for the Paralympics in Tokyo Aug. 24 through Sept. 5. “Trials were in Minneapolis June 17 to 19,” she said. “To qualify for the team, you had to hit a certain percentage of your standard in that particular event. For example, my 100-meter A standard was 12.9 seconds, and I ran 12.86, meaning I had more than 100 percent of the A standard.” Hatz, who is 20 and a 2019 graduate of D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School, was born without a fibula in her right leg. Doctors amputated the leg below the knee. “My two younger brothers (John and Ryan) always did sports growing up. And because I’m so competitive, I did the sports they did,” Hatz said. That list of sports included softball, basketball, soccer, karate and skiing. “When Ryan did basketball, I had to try basketball,” she said. “When Buddy did baseball, I tried softball, etc.” She tried other sports, too. Hatz is the American record holder in the long jump at 18.7 feet. “I used to do softball, basketball,

skiing, snowboarding, CrossFit and even karate before trying track,” Hatz said. “I only joined track because of a friend who made a bet

with me my freshman year of who could make a varsity meet first. I was the first of my friend group to go to a varsity meet and since then, I stuck with it.” Like other athletes, Hatz had to do without events because of COVID until this past April. “My coaches did a good job of keeping me interested,” she said. “We had tried different workouts on the track and in the gym, so it wasn’t always the same stuff. It was difficult at times because meets were not happening, so I couldn’t tell where I was at compared to my competition. But training with the able-bodied professional heptathletes helped me so much. “Getting to chase them in all my workouts and getting destroyed by them on the track every day pushed me to work harder and to try to catch up to them even more,” she continued. Working and getting better with them just meant that I would be getting prepared to do amazing things against my competitors in the Paralympics. “Why train with people like me when I can train and get my butt whooped by people better than me?” Hatz gets a lot of support from her family. I am very, very close with my family, so their support means everything to me,” she said. “They always remind me that I am going to do big things, and their faith in me gives me an incredible amount of confi-

dence.” Hatz called herself “very stubborn” when it comes to sports. “So, competing in sports gives me a way to show everyone that I can do everything anyone else can do,” she said. “I have always hated pity, and when people doubted my abilities, it gave me an excuse to show them up.” Hatz isn’t sure when she’s leaving for Japan. She is sure she won’t be able to see much of the country. “I am excited to be able to represent the United States on such a large platform,” she said. “This will be the biggest moment of my life so far, and I’m excited to show the world what I can do. Unfortunately, we will not get the opportunity to sightsee because of COVIC protocols. She finished fifth in the 200-meters in the 2019 world championships and eighth in the 100-meters. Hatz enjoys drawing painting, snowboarding and drawing. “I’m extremely grateful to be working with my coach, Kris Mack,” she said. “Switching to Coach Mack and his training group was the best decision I ever made, and I am proud to be his first Paralympian. I’m grateful to be able to train with the best athletes (Annie Kunz, Riley Cooks, Erica Bougard and Harrison Williams.”
