Masks off, restrictions dropped in DCSD schools District returning to pre-COVID norms

As vaccination rates go up, and COVID cases drop, the Douglas County School District is making plans to a normal return for the 2021-2022 school year.

Following a June 1 meeting with the Douglas County School Board, Superintendent Corey Wise announced plans to eliminate mask mandates along with other COVID restrictions next year.

“It is our desire to return out schools back to a pre-COVID normal,” Wise told parents in a June 2 letter. “That means no face covering requirements, no quarantines, and allowing parents and visitors back into our school buildings.”

The following standards are planned for the new school year: • Face coverings are no longer required.

• COVID immunizations for staff and students are not mandatory.

• Physical distancing will no longer be implemented.

• Quarantines of non-symptomatic students and staff will be discontinued.

• Visitors will be permitted in schools and buildings.

• Field trips will resume.

James Hessel came home from school on Sept. 11, 2001, and told his mom he was joining the Marines.

“He felt it was his patriotic duty after that terrible day,” said Hes-

But Hessel was set on the Marines, and was sent to Iraq.

“Every day, my pride and my fear lived side by side,” Newman said.

Eventually, Hessel came home, but he wasn’t the same.

‘I pleaded twice’ New details emerge in STEM shooting testimonies

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lucas Albertoni was crawling through classroom 107 in STEM School Highlands Ranch when he was confronted by Alec McKinney’s gun.

Albertoni looked up as he was attempting to flee and saw the barrel of the firearm, only an arm’s length away, pointed straight at him. He locked eyes with the student holding it.

“I pleaded twice, ‘you don’t have to do this,’” he told a courtroom on June 4. “I could tell he wasn’t really listening to anything I was saying.”

Albertoni ducked to the right as his shoulder was hit by a bullet. He also sustained shots in his leg and

finger that day. Two of the bullets remained in his body as he testified.

Albertoni’s story closed off a week of testimony in the case against Devon Erickson, one of the two students charged in the deadly shooting on May 7, 2019. Erickson, now 20, faces 46 charges, including firstdegree murder, attempted murder and arson for his part in the attack.

McKinney pleaded guilty to similar charges in 2020 and is in prison.

Some initially perceived prank So far, prosecutors have called on nearly 20 people who were in the room that day to tell the jury what they remember.

For many who spoke, the event started with the assumption that Erickson, who some witnesses say they heard shout “nobody f------ move” before brandishing a handgun, was playing a twisted joke on them.

“I thought this was like a senior prank,” said Grace Holland, a stu-

dent in the room that day. “I thought ‘that’s messed up.’”

Kendrick Castillo, however, knew the gun was real and acted immediately. Many witnesses told the jury how they saw Castillo leap from his seat to stop the gunman. Castillo was shot and killed during the attack.

Initial reports from the shooting included comments from both McKinney and Erickson that claimed McKinney had forced Erickson to participate in the attack. Prosecutors have worked to poke holes in that narrative and McKinney has since made contradictory statements.

Room 107’s teacher Lauren Harper was the teacher for the British Literature class taking place in room 107 that day. With only three days remaining for the class, which was mostly made up of seniors, she decided to put on a movie for students to analyze: “The Princess Bride.”

Erickson came to her a few minutes after class started to tell her he wasn’t feeling well.

“He looked ready to pass out,” she told the courtroom.

She sent him to the nurse with another student, and a few minutes later, after he returned, he got her attention again, saying he thought he needed to just go home. She agreed and told him to sign himself out. That’s when he walked to the front of the class, shouted and pulled out the weapon, she said.

Speaking to the jury, Harper’s voice cracked as she told the prosecutor’s that Erickson had never warned her about what was about to happen.

‘They’re getting louder’ Shampson Sundara, a school security guard who responded to the incident and apprehended McKinney, spoke to the courtroom on June 4 about what he saw that day two years ago.

Sundara told the court that when he came upon McKinney, the student was trying to get back into room 107. Sundara shouted commands at him to drop the weapon and saw McKinney attempt to turn

“Alec said ‘we have more guns than you. We’re going to kill you, you need to kill me,’” Sundara said.

As he walked with McKinney through the halls, Sundara reported hearing the student talking about voices he was hearing in his head including “they’re getting louder” and “they want me to kill, they want you to kill me.”

Sundara, who said he wasn’t supposed to have a gun with him based on his contract with the school, fired two rounds at law enforcement entering the school, whom he had assumed were additional shooters. His shots instead wounded two students.

Colorado lifts capacity restrictions for large indoor crowds

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A month and a half after Colorado let its “dial” of coronavirus restrictions expire, the state has also lifted capacity restrictions on large indoor gatherings, a limit that remained after the state dial’s end.

An updated statewide public health order, effective June 1, also somewhat modifies Colorado’s mask requirements.

The governor’s mask executive order expired June 1, according to the governor’s office, but its requirements generally live on through the updated public health order.

Here’s a look at what changed with the public health order update.

State limits on mass events lifted Previously, under Colorado’s statewide order, when more than 100 people gathered in a room in a public indoor space, the setting could operate at 100% capacity or up to 500 people, with 6 feet required between parties of unvaccinated people or when vaccination status is unknown. That order took effect April 16.

“Public indoor space” meant any enclosed indoor area that is publicly or privately owned, managed, or operated that is accessible to the public, serves as a place of employment, or provides services.

The term did not include a person’s residence, including a room in a hotel or a residential room for students at an educational facility.

Under the previous rules, venues could apply to their local public health agency for a “variance” — or exemption — to exceed 500 people, which needed to be finally approved by the state public-health department.

Now, the updated public health order removes those restrictions.

Local limits generally lifted The state’s color-coded COVID-19 dial was the set of restrictions counties had to follow based on the local spread of the virus. The system affected capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings. Colorado originally implemented the dial last Sept. 15.

Colorado allowed the dial to expire as expected in mid-April, but health agencies in the Denver metro area extended the dial system locally as a rise in virus cases and the continued spread of COVID-19 variants kept health officials worried.

As of May 16, several metro counties are now operating in what they call “level clear,” generally with no local restrictions — and that’s likely to continue unless things take a turn for the worse.

‘Snapback restrictions’ still possible A “snapback” to state-imposed coronavirus restrictions could occur if hospitalizations rise high enough, according to a news release from the state public-health department.

In counties whose resident hospitalizations threaten to exceed 85%

Birmingham, Alabama attorney Robert Norris helps injured claimants, nationwide, collect cash benefits from Asbestos Trusts. “No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.”

LOCAL MASK ORDERS Apart from the state’s mask order, local governments have enacted their own mask requirements during the pandemic.

Tri-County Health Department — which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — let its mask order expire on May 16, allowing its counties to follow only the state’s mask order.

Jefferson County Public Health rescinded its mask order effective May 15. of hospital or hospital system capacity, the state public-health department may require implementing additional restrictions, the public health order’s text says.

Mask requirements tweaked During a May 14 news conference, Gov. Jared Polis announced a relaxing of the statewide mask order, which after that point required masks unless people can prove they are vaccinated in settings such as prisons and jails, health care facilities, and schools.

Polis announced the changes following updated guidance by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of May 13 that says fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, except where required by law or regulations, or local business and workplace guidance.

At that point, individuals 10 years old and younger and those who “cannot medically tolerate” a face covering were exempt from Colorado’s mask order.

The state’s updated public health order tweaks the exceptions to include individuals 11 years of age or younger. Changing the requirements to start at age 12 was intended to reflect the state’s vaccine-eligible population, according to the news release.

Masks are now required for unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated Coloradans in the following settings and situations: • Preschool through grade 12 schools, including extracurricular activities; • Child care centers and services,

including camps, except while participating in outdoor activities; • Staff of Colorado Department of Motor Vehicle offices; • Residents, staff and visitors to prisons; • Residents, staff and visitors to jails; • And emergency medical and other health care settings.

The update clarified that patients, staff and visitors in health care settings are included in the requirements, according to the news release.

It also removed a reference to “congregate care” settings, which are addressed in a separate order.

Public health order 20-20 includes requirements for nursing facilities, assisted living residences, group homes and other care facilities.

Requirements enforceable It was unclear if there was any difference in Colorado’s mask requirements being mandated by public health order only and not by executive order. A call and email to the governor’s office were not immediately returned.

The Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department, responded to questions by noting: “Public health orders carry the weight of law.”

But its statement did not address why Colorado is choosing to mandate mask-wearing by public health order only and not executive order, or whether the forms of order have legal differences in this case.

Colorado’s COVID-19 public health orders are generally the kind that rely on voluntary compliance. But failure to comply with the public health order could result in penalties, including jail time, and fines, according to the order’s text.

Travel rules Wearing a mask over your nose and mouth is still required on planes, buses, trains and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations, according to the CDC. That is true even if a person is fully vaccinated.

Murder during vape robbery brings long sentence Kenneth Gallegos, 17 at time of crime, could be paroled after 40 years

BY MIKKEL KELLY MKELLY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kenneth Gallegos, 19, was sentenced June 2 to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 40 years for the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Lloyd Chavez IV during a robbery involving vaping products that Chavez sold in Centennial.

In addition to the maximum sentence for first-degree felony Gallegos murder, Gallegos, who was 17 at the time of the crime, was sentenced to 16 years to be served concurrently for each of two other counts — aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery.

Chavez He was convicted of the counts by a 12-member jury in Arapahoe County on April 9.

During the trial, the prosecution argued that Gallegos acted as the central player in a plot to organize a robbery outside of Chavez’s home in east Centennial the night of May 8, 2019. Another teen has yet to be tried in the incident, while two others accepted plea bargains.

Before 18th Judicial District Judge Ben Leutwyler pronounced the sentences on June 2, he said, ”I am truly struck by the senseless decisions by four people on that day.” Leutwyler said he reviewed all the evidence thoroughly. He concluded Gallegos led the other three in a plan to rob Chavez and encouraged another boy to bring a gun.

“You didn’t pull the trigger but your culpability is right there with everyone else,” Leutwyler said.

Defense Counsel Mike Root appealed for a 30-year sentence and referred to a bill that will change sentencing guidelines, expected to be in place in September. Judge Leutwyler said it would be an unlawful act to follow sentence laws that do not yet exist, adding “I cannot do that and I will not.”

Deputy District Attorney Gwenn Sandrock had anticipated Root’s request and stated sentencing should follow current law as well.

Before the sentencing, Ken Gallegos, the father of Kenneth Gallegos, addressed the Chavez family members in attendance. He expressed repeatedly his “sincere condolences” to the Chavez family and mentioned a few areas where he took issue with the legal process.

Lloyd Chavez III recounted how the death of his son deconstructed and consumed his family with grief. He noted his son, who attended Cherokee Trail High School, was an accomplished rugby player and involved in community activities.

Chavez said, “The train has left the station,” and while nothing can be done to bring back his son, he urged that Gallegos be sentenced to the full extent of the law.

Other Chavez family members spoke and submitted statements describing the daily sadness and isolation experienced since the loss; told about the sale of their home because they did not want to live there after the murder occurred; and presented a slide show chronicling a large lively family life before the murder, as well as somber memorial services that followed.

Kenneth Gallegos, who had not spoken during the trial due to legal advice, asked to come to the lectern and was accompanied by Root. Gallegos noted he would follow Root’s advice to refrain from saying anything about what had happened or the trial.

Gallegos said his “outward appearance does not match” what he feels inside and told the Chavez family, “I do want to express how terribly sorry I am for the loss.”

In his remarks before sentencing, Leutwyler noted the book “Everything I Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten” as a guiding reference throughout his life, noting lessons such as “play fair, don’t hurt people, say you are sorry, don’t take things that are not yours.” He said that if Gallegos had learned those lessons in kindergarten “we wouldn’t be here today.”

He said both families lost a son, but the Gallegos family can still see and talk to their son. He told Gallegos “but for your actions Lloyd would be alive today.”

School district’s draft budget reflects recovery

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a year of financial finagling to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Douglas County School District’s budgetary projections for the 2021-22 school year are looking better.

According to a draft 2021-22 budget, DCSD expects its enrollment to increase slightly from the previous year, and also expects state funding to jump substantially. In response, board directors are energized about program investments and educators’ compensation.

“We really need to take some bold steps now to really make sure that we’re serving the kids coming this fall,” said board President David Ray at a May 11 meeting.

Board Director Susan Meek added, “I don’t think we should be grow-

ing the fund balance (reserves) over the next couple of years because we may have declining enrollment in future years. I feel like we need to be utilizing today’s resources to serve today’s students and also to fairly compensate our employees.”

According to the draft 2021-22 budget, the district expects to receive an additional $32.2 million in general fund revenue, much to the credit of increased state funding. That’s because of a decrease in the budget stabilization factor, a calculation the state makes every year to withhold money from school districts to put toward other expenses.

As a result, the state’s per-pupil funding for DCSD went up by $500 between 2020-21 and 2021-22. Also, between the two years, DCSD expects to enroll about 1,300 more students.

On the expenditure side, a high pri-

2

ority is educator compensation, an issue the district has short- and longterm goals to tackle. For the 2021-22 school year, the district will set aside a pool of money to adjust every educator’s salary to the current cost of living. There has been no cost-ofliving adjustment for some positions for six years, despite cost of living increases, district CFO Kate Kotaska explained at the May 11 meeting.

However, the cost-of-living adjustment isn’t adding to base salaries, something the district plans to do in subsequent years.

“I think we will have more thoughts about this whole notion of reserves as we look at compensation, because I know we desperately need some work there,” Ray said at the May 11 meeting.

Also, the district will restore $3.5 million in cuts that were made last

year at the school-building level in response to COVID-19.

Through second and third waves of federal relief funding, the district has $13.8 million in one-time revenues. The plan is to put those funds toward eLearning, summer programming, unfinished learning (i.e. tutoring and curriculum materials) and other expenses directly related to COVID-19.

Just comparing the 2021-22 and 2020-21 school years, the situation looks good. However, 2021-22 projections don’t rival figures for prepandemic years. Revenue, expenditures and enrollment for 2021-22 still aren’t what they were in 2019-20.

Also, the district expects enrollment to decline in future years.

The board will vote to formally adopt the budget at a June 22 meeting.

Castle Rock accepts 60-acre land donation Town OKs $1.6 million in spending for improvements on site near Founders Parkway

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

By agreeing to accept one of the largest private-land donations in Castle Rock’s history, the town council committed to meeting the stipulations placed on the gift.

During the June 1 council meeting, Director of Parks and Recreation Jeff Brauer said that before longtime Castle Rock resident Robert F. Metzler died, he arranged to donate about 60 acres of land to the town. The land is located near Founders Parkway.

As part of the agreement, Brauer said, Metzler’s estate is donating a conservation easement, which limits the uses of the property going forward and preserves the natural state of the land.

The Douglas Land Conservancy, a local nonprofit focused on land conservation in Douglas County, will hold the conservation easement to ensure the property, including a four-acre tract containing the homestead and ranch buildings, are managed appropriately.

By unanimously approving the resolution and accepting the land, the council has committed $1.6 million to complete the first phase of required improvements,

which includes 2.5 miles of soft-surface trails and parking spaces. The plan also calls for the town to install informative plaques on the property to provide additional information about the Metzler family and property.

The donation also includes an 11-acre parcel for a future education or community building. Brauer said the area will be managed as open space until a plan for the land is identified.

In other business, council established Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) priorities, directing staff to focus on senior/special needs support services and ADA accessibility improvements to public facilities, which will include park and sidewalk improvements.

In 2020, the council accepted entitlement status to be eligible to receive an allocation of funding provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grant can be used to revitalize neighborhoods, expand affordable housing, offer economic opportunities, and improve community facilities and services. A 30-day public comment period on the town’s plan begins this month with a public hearing with the council on July 20. CDBG funds will be available beginning Oct. 1.

The council also finalized amendments to the town code to include the establishment of a noxious weed management plan, which is required to comply with Colorado Noxious Weed Act requirements in 2021.

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 1

• Foreign exchange programs will resume.

• Athletics and activities will go back to normal.

• Facilities rentals will resume.

Practices that will continue include: • Encouraging students and staff to practice good hygiene • Disinfection protocols will continue • District will continue to invest in a ventilation system • Encouraging families to keep students home when sick Wise said even though restrictions are being lifted, students and staff who want to wear masks are free to do so. The school will accommodate the needs of each individual student and staff member, Wise said.

While vaccinations are not mandatory, Wise said the district will still work to educate and encourage students, staff, and the community to get the shots.

“While we are not mandating it, I recommend it,” Wise said. “We are working to provide a stable and quality education.”

“We are going to encourage students and staff to let us know they have been vaccinated. We want to do what-

ever we can to get us back on the path to normal.”

A major reason the district is getting back to normal is due to the increased rate of vaccinations, Wise said. According to Tri-County Health, in Douglas County more than 65% of the population 12 and up have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Just over 56% of those eligible to get vaccinated have received both doses.

For staff, Wise said an incentive to get vaccinated will be in how sick days and paid time off can be utilized in the 2021-2022 school year.

Guidelines for sick days will return to pre-COVID rules.

Wise said if teachers and staff have COVID or COVID symptoms in the new school year, they will be required to use sick days.

After reviewing quarantine practices in the 20202021 school year, Wise said changes will be made to primarily have students and staff who are showing symptoms be quarantined rather than an entire class or school.

At times throughout the last school year, entire schools and hundreds of students were put in quarantine at any given time.

Wise said changing protocols for quarantining only those who are sick or symptomatic will further help the district return to normal.

Run to Change Lives to host July 4 race Organizers hope to make annual tradition of Live Free Rock-It Run

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Run to Change Lives is expanding in 2021, with plans to host the Free Rock-It Run on July 4 in Castle Rock. The event will inclue live entertainment, a 5K, half marathon and races for kids.

Run to Change Lives founder Jason Anguiano said the organization took over Castle Rock’s annual Turkey Rock Trot event in o 2015. The Thanksgiving race has continued to grow and see success, he said.

In looking for new opportunities, Anguiano said research showed the July 4 holiday is the second-largest race day in the U.S. It falls only behind races held on Thanksgiving day. Given how popular the July 4th holiday is for runners, Anguiano said he thinks it could become something big in Douglas County.

Anguiano said he and his wife are excited to start what they hope will become an annual tradition in Castle Rock.

“We really want to provide these special races in our hometown,” he said. “People like to run and participate in events

‘The name was chosen wisely. We are raising funds to help people live free and break free from different illnesses. This is not just about a race.’

tion, Anguiano said. The Live Free Association, Anguiano said, will partner with local medical and health-care organizations to help people break free from illness, addiction, poverty, and captivity to find freedom and live a full life.

The July 4 event will be held between 7 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, located at 500 Fairgrounds Rd. in Castle Rock. Races begin with a

Having the event on Independence Day is an added bonus, Anguiano said, as the funds raised from the race will go towards his newly-created nonprofit Live Free Association. Anguiano is also the founder of the nonprofit Live Free Association.

“The name was chosen wisely,” Anguiano said. “We are raising funds to help people live free and break free from different illnesses. This is not just about a race.”

Funds raised in prior races went directly towards programs in health care. The July 4 race will serve as the primary fundraiser for the LIve Free Associa- T:9.625"

5K at 9 a.m.

Runners can participate in the 5k or a half-marathon relay. There will be a free 1K race for young runners.

The cost to participate includes: • 5k — $40 until July 1; $45 day of the race • Half-marathon - $55 until July 1; $60 day of the race To register for Live Free Rock-It Run, visit the website at runtochangelives.org/rock-it-run.

A numeral, a letter, and unsure what’s better

W

hat’s 5G? What happened to 4G? Is 5G better than 4G? Is 6G next?

Will the commercials for 6G be better than the commercials for 5G? The commercials QUIET for 5G give me a DESPERATION headache. Especially the ones that feature “Lily,” who stands behind a podium now because of internet trolling.

By the end of the commercials I still don’t know what 5G is.

Craig Marshall Someone in marSmith keting assumes we all keep up with this stuff.

A year ago I wrote a column about new technologies that I don’t need. I don’t need any more of them.

My internet is fast enough.

My car doesn’t have a screen on the dash. My car doesn’t have cameras. It doesn’t drive itself, park itself, wash itself, or change

colors.

An Italian automaker is experimenting with cars that can change colors like chameleons. You drive a red one today and a blue one tomorrow. At midnight it’s purple.

The Japanese are a step ahead.

They’re working on “mood” cars.

Cars that will change colors according to the driver’s mood.

You’ll be able to tell how the woman in the car next to you is feeling because her car will tell you.

Does anyone draw with a pencil anymore? I draw with a 2B. It’s softer than a 2H. I never draw with a 4H. I know someone in 4H, but it has nothing to do with pencils.

Lily probably makes 5K every time one of her 5G commercials is shown.

It would take no time at all to find out what 5G is. But I’m stubborn.

But there are a few technologies that amaze me. I have self-published two novels and a compilation of short stories this year.

Which reminds me of something Nietzsche said: “Every time I climb I am followed by a dog named Ego.” Once these books are written, proofed, and formatted, the files are forwarded to a print-ondemand company. Books are then printed as they are ordered. Right now.

Self-publishing does have its drawbacks. Bookstores won’t carry the books and newspapers won’t review them.

Additionally, they’re the kids at the card table on Thanksgiving: looked down on.

It would be nice to have a publisher. Have someone else pick up the checks.

But that someone else would want me to make changes I wouldn’t want to make, design the cover, make me go on promotional tours, sign autographs and talk about Faulkner at cocktail parties.

Self-publishing accomplishes all I want. Sure, it would be nice to have a big house behind one of my

books, but I don’t.

There’s a film, “Sideways,” about a couple of men who have a dirty weekend in California’s wine country before one of them, Jack, gets married.

His friend Miles is an author who spends the film sweating out his editor’s ability to have his book published.

Ultimately, the book is rejected.

Miles’s reaction is to drink from a spit bucket in a winery’s tasting room.

I will never drink from a spit bucket. Or jump off a roof or stick my head in an oven because my book was rejected.

There was a time when I thought I had it all. A bicycle, a baseball glove and a transistor radio.

Each one gave me limitless pleasures. Those were the days, Mary Hopkin.

What’s 5G? Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Rehearsing success leads to success

W

hen we anticipate the future, do we see ourselves winning or succeeding?

Or do we look into our future and see only losses or failure ahead?

WINNING Some could see this as a simple WORDS difference between optimism and pessimism. However, it is more than that too. When we dream, we don’t typically dream of the fish we almost caught, the deal we almost won, Michael Norton or the meal we almost prepared. No, typically in our dreams we catch the fish, and it is bigger than we expected; we close the deal and it’s worth more in commission than any previous deal we had sold; and the dinner that we cooked was nothing short of culinary perfection, worthy of qualifying for a spot on a famous cooking show.

Over the course of life, I have yet to find the person who shared a dream where they saw themselves shanking a drive on the

golf course, had a big outdoor event like a wedding getting rained out or canceled, or the company they were about to start becoming an immediate and utter failure. When those do occur, those are nightmares, not dreams.

All visions of success are not limited to dreams. As a matter of fact, many people who have achieved their goals in life didn’t passively wait for success to happen to them, they went ahead and made success happen. And the way they contributed to their success was planning, preparing, and rehearsing ahead of time.

A friend of mine was always swinging a golf club. Well, not really a golf club, but an imaginary golf club. We would be in the conference room having a conversation and he would stand and make the motions of swinging the club. He would do this in the airport, standing around outside of a restaurant as we waited to get in, or anywhere he had enough space to swing his arms. Whenever he had a few minutes, he would go through the motions as if he were playing a round. And if he knew

the course that he was going to be playing, he would envision the actual hole and mentally play it out in his head. He would tee off, hit his approach shot, and make the putt.

He was rehearsing for success.

Now I play a little golf too, or rather I attempt to play golf. And I have also made some imaginary golf swings. However, I am doing it just to stretch, not with the full intention of seeing the club strike the ball, the trajectory, and the soft landing. No, I am not rehearsing for success the way that my friend does, and it shows each time we play.

Have you ever seen a pianist, guitarist, drummer, or other musician practicing without their instrument? Their eyes are usually closed as they play, but in their head, they see their hands moving across the keys or strings and hear the awesome and beautiful sounds that they are creating.

They too are rehearsing for success.

Will we always succeed or win by merely envisioning ourselves doing so? No, we will not. Will we increase our likelihood of suc-

ceeding and winning by seeing ourselves doing so? Yes, we will.

You see, something happens to us as we allow ourselves to internalize the motions, the real and rehearsed drills and practice swings of life, they become part of what we call the winner’s attitude.

If this pandemic has taught me anything, I have learned to keep dreaming, to keep seeing the next opportunity for success ahead of me, and to encourage others to do the same. The world will continue to change, that is fact. And the best thing we can do is to make sure we change our mindset to one of seeing ourselves succeeding and winning with each change that comes our way.

As always, I would love to hear your story of envisioning winning at mnorton@tramazing.com and when we rehearse for success, it really will be a better than good year.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Congratulations to Healeys Congratulations to Jerry and Ann Healey! You know when it’s time to move on. I commend you! However, afford me the opportunity to thank you for a job well done!

Years ago, I hate to admit many, I can remember going into Jerry’s office at the Littleton Independent and asking for support for a nonprofit program I was serving on. I have watched him grow his business dedicating his life to our community, telling our stories with fair, balanced and accurate reporting.

Most recently, I have appreciated the partnership we have with the Centennial Citizen and the extraordinary attention given to our city of Centennial.

Thank you Jerry for the many years you have dedicated your personal and professional life to media coverage. I have a passion for print media and I think you do too!

I wish you many years of good health and prosperity in your retirement.

PROTECTING YOUR

SKIN

WHILE NOT STAYING IN

Advocates discuss safeguards to limit exposure to sun’s rays

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

oloradans love to tout the state’s sunshine with the warmth and mood boost it provides, but the sun’s rays also are something to be reckoned with, especially as we get into the swing of summer.

Skin-care experts and doctors say the two biggest issues are preventing skin cancer and implementing anti-aging measures, especially since the sun’s ultraviolet light can be so damaging.

“A healthy dose of sunlight is really good for our bodies because our bodies make vitamin D,” said Brooke Sarmiento, founder and creator of Bee-Och skin-care products based in Fort Lupton. “(Sunlight) boosts mood, helps boost immunity and can ward off infections.”

However, too much sunlight is not a good thing, the experts said, noting that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70, and more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the United States than all other cancers combined.

In addition, sun can damage skin, causing it to age prematurely. Ultraviolet rays penetrate into the skin, damaging the elastic fibers that keep skin firm and accelerating production of the pigment melatonin, allowing wrinkles to develop and age spots to appear.

Neither is good for skin, which is the body’s largest organ, and both are mostly preventable.

Skin cancer The Skin Cancer Foundation and the Colorado Melanoma Foundation preach constantly about the benefits of sunscreen every day, not just when you are planning a day in the sun. Even better, wear a hat and clothing to keep skin from sun exposure or stay out of the sun as much as possible, especially during the hottest part of the day.

Not all sunscreens are created equal, the experts say, and it’s important for people to follow the directions.

The Skin Cancer Foundation offers a seal of recommendation on sunscreens and other skincare products that have an SPF — which stands for sun protection factor — of at least 15. SPF is a calculation of the difference between how quickly the skin will burn in the sun without the product and with the product. The higher the number, the longer the skin is protected.

There are two types of sunscreens: chemical and mineral.

Chemical sunscreens use ultra-

HOW TO LOWER SKIN CANCER RISK Skin cancer statistics According to the Skin Cancer Foundation: • On average, a person’s risk for melanoma doubles if they have had more than five sunburns, but just one blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person’s chances of developing melanoma later in life.

• When detected early, the five-year survival rate for melanoma is 99%.

• In the United States, more than 9,500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every day, and more than two people die of the disease every hour.

• Regular daily use of an SPF 15 or higher sunscreen reduces the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by about 40% and melanoma by 50%.

Jennifer Morris recommends face washing nightly as a habit that supports good skin COURTESY PHOTO care.

violet light-filtering chemicals while mineral sunscreens usually are powders that provide a physical barrier to the sun, Sarmiento explained.

Anti-aging It’s important to take care of your skin and to educate yourself about the products you use, said Jennifer Morris of the Littleton area, who sells Beautycounter products.

“Just because it’s on the shelf (in the store) doesn’t mean that it’s good for you,” Sarmiento added.

Skin-care advocates suggest learning about the products’ ingredients because not all lotions, soaps and sunscreens are created equal.

A skin-care routine that includes

Preventing skin cancer, aging • Clothing is the best defense against washing your face nightly and moisturizing daily is a must, they said, agreeing that moisturizers whose first ingredient is water is probably not the best.

“I’m huge on waterless products,” Sarmiento said, noting that the moisturizers she has created use essential oils that absorb into the skin. “Oil-based products provide longer hydration because it’s not just water and alcohols.”

Morris and Sarmiento suggested staying away from products with fragrances because most are chemically created rather than created from natural sources.

A healthy respect for the sun — both its positive and its negative attributes — is a must during the summer to make the most of the Colorado outdoors.

skin cancer and an easy way to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. The more skin you can cover, the better, with light-colored clothes.

• Wear a wide-brimmed hat and UVblocking sunglasses.

• Wear SPF15 or higher sunscreen daily and SPF30 or higher sunscreen for extended outdoor activity.

• Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.

• Examine your skin from head to toe monthly and have it checked by a dermatologist yearly.

‘Pick a Number, Start a Story’ is write stuff Veteran writing teacher’s new book gives authors how-to guidance

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sue Viders of Lone Tree has recently published “Pick A Number, Start a Story,” subtitled: “Your ticket to the wonders of storytelling.”

A workbook, with spaces for a prospective author’s notes, it is certain to be a real help to many aspiring writers who just can’t get moving on that first paragraph. She says she has been a writing teacher for more than 40 years and published a number of books, including her coauthored “Complete Writer’s Guide to Heroes and Heroines, Sixteen Master Archetypes,” which is used in university creative writing and screenwriting courses.

She also has written a series of “cozies,” under the name D.B. Humel, and is currently working on another with a co-author. The name describes a type of mystery with a more gentle scene than some violent titles comes across.

Viders begins the new book by listing nine components to any story: Genre, Main Character, Plot, Setting, Goal and Motivation, Secondary Characters, Conflict, Theme, and Ending, then offers a discussion of each component and a nudge to make some choices.

Accompanying each listing is a selection of related movies — and here, I knew some and not others, which did not make much difference in using the suggested structure for organizing a story. She said there are references to 576 movies and TV

shows to illustrate her suggested process.

Possibilities for combinations are pretty much endless.

A character starts out with a problem, which may or may not be solvable, due perhaps to the setting ...

Or with a romance, “be sure to choose two main characters that either complement or are direct opposites of each other.” Think of: Bad Boy, Swashbuckler, Nurturer. A plot takes characters through a series of events in one or more locations/settings, where they encounter secondary characters, some of which could be animals ... or robots, young or old ... (I picture her saying: “just choose and move on...”).

A conflict or problem arises which may or may not be resolved. Viders writes: “To make your character more interesting, you need to give him or her an internal conflict.

Perhaps the character has a lifelong flaw or fault.

“Plot is the action, while Theme is underlying meaning or moral aspect of the story.” Revenge may be a theme — think about “Count of Monte Cristo,” or consider Love and Revenge: “The Other Woman.”

“Cinderella” provides an example for the Ending category. Viders writes: “Cindy has two conflicts: one with her stepmother for keeping her away from the prince and with her own emotional feelings knowing she will never get to the ball.

“Therefore the ending has to resolve both conflicts, one that the stepmother will get her comeuppance and two that Cindy will end up with the prince.” Hence the ending has to be where they live Happy Ever After (HEA).

“Nicely fits the guideline of the `romance’ genre in that the couple at the end of the story will have

Hayes adjusts tennis to high elevation Hill sisters team for wins in doubles

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It took some time for Lauren Hayes to adjust to playing in Colorado’s higher elevation, but the Hill twins have been playing doubles together for so long they can adapt quickly.

Hayes, a sophomore No. 1 singles player at Mountain Vista, moved to Colorado from Salem, Oregon, and on June 2 captured the Region 5 state qualifying tournament with a tough three-set win over Arapahoe’s Julia Rydel.

Nicole and Eliza Hill, seniors at Cherry Creek, had it much easier in taking the No. 1 doubles title in the Region 1 tournament on June 1 and lost only one game in two straightset victories.

The Hills will carry a 12-0 record into the Class 5A state tournament which will be June 11-12 at the Gates Tennis Center.

Hayes kept a majority of her shots in play but it wasn’t an easy victory as her grit and determination helped her pull out a win in the match that has more momentum changes than winning volleys.

Hayes claimed the regional title with a 7-6, 6-7, 6-3 triumph.

“I came here in December, and it took me to February to get fully adjusted to the different altitude,” said Hayes. “My ground strokes seem to go a lot farther and with the spin I put on the ball, I need to put more spin on because it seems the shots are going long a lot. I definitely need to work on that.

“I’ve played really well and I’ve really connected with my team which I like a lot. I really like the atmosphere we’ve played in. So far this season, it’s been very good.”

Hayes was down 1-3 in the first set tiebreaker but rallied to win 7-5. She had a 5-1 advantage in the second set tiebreaker but Rydel pulled out an 8-6 win. Hayes prevailed in the deciding third set.

More of the same type of close matches probably will be ahead in the state tournament.

“I will try to go in with a certain level of confidence in my game, know that what I do I think works,” she said. “I just go for everything. I try to stay calm when I play,” Hayes displays a lot of emotion in her matches and often talks to herself but most of the comments from the Hills are with each other.

The Hills won the regional crown with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Columbine’s Liz Gentry and Liz Phillips.

Doubles in tennis requires partners to encourage and trust each other, and it is an advantage to know your partner.

Eliza won the No. 2 singles state title in 2018, and Nicole captured the 2018 championship at No. 3 singles.

Eliza suffered a concussion playing basketball and both sisters skipped the 2019 campaign so it has been two

seasons since the sisters played high school tennis.

“It is definitely easier playing with my sister,” said Nicole. “I absolutely love playing with her because we just have such a good relationship.

We know what to tell each other during a match. We know how to lift each other up or to test each other about strategy.”

Eliza agrees.

“We really understand each other

well and it makes for a really good partnership,” she added. “Sometimes we’re not immune to arguing.

The good thing is we know how to get back to what is important. Our arguments don’t last very long.”

The state tournament this year has been trimmed from three days to two which means semifinal and championship matches will be played back-to-back on June 12.

“We’re not going to underestimate any of our opponents,” said Eliza.

“We’re going to play our hardest and our best. As the competition gets tougher we will get tougher too.”

Cherry Creek, which won the 2019 state title before COVID canceled last spring’s state tourney, qualified players in three singles and four doubles categories as the Bruins will be seeking their 37th girls state tennis championship.

The Bruins aren’t the only team that will have a full squad of players at the state meet.

Fairview, Legacy, Mountain Vista, Arapahoe, Fossil Ridge, Ralston Valley and Poudre also qualified 11 players for the state tournament, and Valor Christian will have 10 players competing at state.

Concurrently with Town Council approving annexation of the Property, the Town approves such ordinances, resolutions and/or other written instruments as may be required to effect approval of each of the Applications in a form that is substantially consistent with the applications Petitioner submits in connection with this Petition (the “Approvals”). b. Pursuant to Section 31 12 107(1)(e), C.R.S., Petitioner reserves the sole, exclusive and unilateral right to withdraw this Petition by so notifying the Clerk of the Town in writing at any point prior to the later to occur of: (i) if no Legal Challenge (defined in Paragraph 7) occurs prior to such date, the 30th day after publication following Town Council’s approval of the final ordinance(s), resolutions and/or other final action(s) granting the Approvals; and (ii) if a Legal Challenge occurs, the date of final, non appealable resolution of such Legal Challenge. c.

EPA has issued a public notice of this proposed action and is requesting comment on its website at www.epa.gov/uic/underground-injection-controlepa-region-8-co-mt-nd-sd-ut-and-wy, for a minimum of 30 days. Notification of any extension of the public comment period will appear at the web address only and will not appear in this newspaper.

Alternatively, the public may contact Lise Marie Bisson by email at bisson.lisemarie@epa.gov by phone at (800) 227-8917, extension 312-6266 or (303) 312-6266 to obtain information about the proposed action or to be added to the notification list for any extension of the public comment period and any final EPA decision.

EPA is proposing to issue a draft UIC Class V area permit for implementing ASR using the Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers in SVMD’s Service Area located in northern Douglas County, Colorado. Two wells are proposed to inject treated drinking water for storage in the aquifers during periods of low demand, then recover and supply drinking water from these aquifers to SVMD’s customers during periods of high demand.

EPA has proposed protective permit requirements in the draft Class V permit. These include: 1) pilot cycle testing of the injected and subsequently recovered water; 2) monitoring the quality of the Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Aquifers during ASR operations; 3) bench scale water chemistry testing for potential contaminants; and 4) testing any new sources of water proposed for injection after ASR operations commence.

White spoke of how he didn’t stop his response to the shooting there. Instead, he went back into the school, where he came across another student who had been shot in the back of the head.

“His eyes were ... really, really big,” White said. “I asked him

if he could move and he didn’t respond. So I picked him up and threw him over my shoulder (and) ran out of the school.”

Gerardo Montoya Ojeda, the student whom White carried to the paramedics, survived the attack.

Defense questions During cross examinations, the defense focused on the timing of the shots fired, asking witnesses when they heard the gunshots in relation to Castillo slamming Erickson in an effort to get the gun. In her opening statement, defense attorney Julia Stancil told the jury that Erickson had not intended to hurt anyone and that the gun had gone off accidentally as a result of Castillo’s attack.

Another detail the defense has drawn attention to is exactly how and where Erick-

son pointed the gun he held in front of the class. Some witnesses have said he pointed it straight at them and others have said it was directed over their heads.

The defense asked one witness from room 107, Barbra Elenniss, about a message she sent to another student in the days following the shooting when she said “(Erickson) shot accidentally after getting tackled.” Elenniss said she hadn’t actually seen that happen and was simply repeating what she’d heard other students say in the days following.

Former district attorney George Brauchler, who has remained with the DA’s office to finish this case, said he expected the prosecution to rest its case in the middle of the following week. Then, the defense will call their witnesses.

A video played during the trial of Devon Erickson showed how the defendant looked and behaved in the minutes following the May 7, 2019 shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch. Erickson is facing dozens of charges including first-degree murder, attempted murder and arson for his alleged part in the attack.
