As kids grab their scooters and bikes to embark on summertime adventures, bike instructors with the Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce are providing an opportunity for youth to not only improve their biking skills, but gain a better understanding of the rules of the road. e sheri ’s o ce has partnered with the Douglas County School District to host the county’s rst Eye-Five Transportation and Road safety event from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 19 at Mountain Vista High School, located at 10585 Mountain Vista Ridge, in Highlands Ranch. It doesn’t matter if a child is learning
how to ride a bike for the rst time or looking to improve their skills, the free event is open to children of all ages. ey just need to bring their helmet, bike, ebike, scooter, electric scooter or whatever they use to get around.
e event will include “bumps and jumps and all that fun stu ,” said Deputy Je rey Cislo. “But what we’re trying to really get them to do is understand crosswalks and sidewalks.”
Cislo, who is the school resource o cer for Mountain Vista High School, is one of four bike instructors with the sheri ’s ofce. e event will be led by a number of school resource o cers who are also certi ed by the International Police Mountain Bike Association.
e event will include a variety of food trucks, and information booths set up by South Metro Fire Rescue, the Highlands Ranch Park Rangers and local bike shops to provide more information on trail and road safety.
Another partner is Gary Robinson, cofounder of Avid Cyclists, which is an online resource for cyclists. Robinson has partnered with the sheri ’s o ce at multiple community events over the past year advocating for stronger relationships between motorists and cyclists after he was hit by a vehicle and nearly lost his life on Founders Parkway in Castle Rock last year.
Castle Rock OKs Soleana housing plan
6-0 vote clears way for 77 residential units
BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Castle Rock will soon be home to some new homes — 77 of them, to be exact.
On July 1, Castle Rock Town Council voted to approve the site development plan for Soleana. e development, located north of Alexander Place and west of Collins Street, was unanimously approved 6-0 with Councilmember Ryan Hollingshead absent.
Soleana is a 77.96-acre parcel of land being developed by Alexander Investors, LLC. e site will soon house 77 residential units. While 55 of these units will be single-family detached residential units, 22 of the units will be live/work units. e live/work units will include a mix of attached and detached singlefamily dwelling units. In addition to residential purposes, these units may also be used for work within the dwelling space. ey may only be used by the resident of the unit, and up to ve non-resident employees. e plan also includes 34.53 acres of open space throughout the development. Along with the open space, the plan includes space for a future pocket park along the southern border. Primary access to the development is limited to one road — Brewer Court. While there may be another road added later to increase access to the site, this is not an o cial plan and was not included in the site development plan.
The Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce has partnered with the Douglas County School District to teach elementary and middle school students biking skills and how to navigate crosswalks.

Lone Tree mobility hub work will impact tra c
City joins statewide e ort to establish connectivity and multimodal opportunities
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a statewide e ort to emphasize multimodal options and expand connectivity across the state, Lone Tree is among the latest to establish a mobility hub, making it the fth hub along the Interstate 25 Corridor.
Mobility hubs are transportation centers that aim to provide high-quality transportation infrastructure, including real-time passenger information and opportunities to create transit-friendly development.
Jessica Myklebust, the RTD director of Region 1, said the hubs are strategically located to conveniently connect various transportation modes.
“Ultimately they’re designed to reduce a person’s reliance on their own vehicle, allowing them to easily transition to another mode of transportation,” Myklebust said. “ e goal is simplifying travel, reducing wait times and making a more pleasant travel experience.”
e Lone Tree hub will connect a network of hubs along I-25 from Fort Collins to Pueblo.
e location will also provide access to RTD’s light rails, the city’s Link On Demand transit service, CDOT’s interregional express bus service — known as Bustang — and allow for connectivity through the Lincoln Avenue interchange to jobs, housing and the upcoming Lone Tree City Center.
It will be providing “another travel option if they don’t want to get into a car to go see sporting events downtown,” said Myklebust.
“ is will also provide (people with) another way to reach the Colorado Springs area and other popular destinations along the Front Range.”
e $16.5 million project is funded by CDOT, the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Douglas County, the City of Lone Tree and the Southeast Public Improvement Metro District. It is expected to be complete by fall 2026.
Construction of the Lone Tree Station Mobility Hub is already underway at the I-25 and Lincoln Avenue interchange.
Just south of Lincoln Avenue, construction will include slip ramps along the I-25 northbound o -ramp and southbound on-ramp for Bustang services, and allow for safer access for pedestrians. Bus shelters, new sidewalks and a passenger pick-up and drop-o area will also be constructed.
For pedestrians and cyclists, a 286-foot bridge will be built over I-25 to connect the
two transit stops and a highway for cyclists connecting to the Lone Tree trail network. ere will also be ramps, and stairs will be provided on the west side of the hub between I-25 and the Trainstation Circle.
Sally Chafee, CDOT’s acting executive director, said that with I-25 being the “backbone of the Front Range,” expanding transportation options for the growing south-metro area is a necessity.
“ is means more e cient travel options for people, and less tra c and congestion on I-25 and our local roads,” said Chafee. “From here, the network will continue to grow south to Castle Rock, Monument, Colorado Springs and Pueblo.”
Hyundai, Kia one out of every five stolen cars in state
BY MONTE WHALEY MONTE@COTLN.ORG
All vehicle owners can bene t by being protective of their cars and trucks, but Hyundai and Kia models are especially vulnerable to theft in Colorado.
e Colorado State Patrol says that Hyundai and Kia represent nearly one out of every ve stolen cars in Colorado. Also, vehicles using a physical key for operation continue to be largely targeted by car thieves across the Denver Metro area, the CSP states in a news release.
CORRECTIONS
Colorado Community Media asks readers to make us aware of mistakes we may have made.
Email sgilbert@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you notice a possible error you would like us to take a look at.
e theft of Hyundais and Kias is also linked to organized crime in Colorado and is the focus of the Colorado Auto eft Prevention Authority — Metropolitan Auto eft Taskforce, the news release states. “ ese stolen cars are then used to commit other crimes across the Front Range,” the news release states. “From dangerous driving to business burglaries and beyond, preventing auto theft saves more than just a car: it makes our entire state safer.”
e CSP lists several precautions owners can take to keep their vehicles safe and o Colorado’s “Top Ten Most Stolen Cars” list. ose include locking your car and taking your keys with you. Never leave a running car unattended. ey also suggest parking in a
garage or a secure parking lot when possible, or in an area under constant supervision.
Another tip is to keep your car clean. ieves hate clean cars and especially clean interiors. Anything left unsecured in a vehicle incentivizes a thief to target your car instead of a clean one.
Owners of a Hyundai or Kia should check with their local manufacturer service center to determine if their vehicle quali es for a security software update.
e State Patrol also suggests drivers of those cars or of any car on the top list should use a steering wheel lock, which is available from many local Police Departments. Drivers should also use technology like a GPS tag or enroll in programs like Denver Track or Metro Track. Use physical vehicle theft prevention devices, such as parking boots, gear shift/pedal locks, and others, to stop thieves and alarms and immobilizing devices from a trusted installer.
Jessica Myklebust, the RTD director of Region 1, speaks at a groundbreaking event in Lone Tree for the construction of Colorado Department of Transportation’s latest mobility hub.

National Association of Realtors Boasts About Getting Its Top Priorities Into the Senate’s Tax Bill
The bill as passed by the Senate included NAR’s five key priorities:
A permanent extension of lower individual tax rates
An enhanced and permanent qualified business income deduction (Section 199A)
A temporary (five-year) quadrupling of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, beginning for 2025
Protection for business SALT deductions and 1031 like-kind exchanges
A permanent extension of the mortgage interest deduction
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC): Key provisions from the LIHTC Improvement Act are included on a permanent basis to support affordable housing development.
No Changes to Carried Interest Rules
“These provisions form the backbone of the real estate economy—from supporting first-time and first-generation buyers to strengthening investment in housing supply and protecting existing homeowners,” according to a NAR spokesperson. “Real estate makes up nearly one-fifth of the entire U.S. economy, and we made sure policymakers understood that homeownership is the essential component to building wealth and a strong, prosperous middle class.”
Several other provisions in the bill championed by NAR add to its positive impact on the real estate sector:
Child Tax Credit Increased to $2,200: Permanently raises the credit, with inflation indexing. This provision could ease housing affordability for families.
Permanent Estate and Gift Tax Threshold Set at $15 Million (Inflation-Adjusted): Prevents a sharp drop in exemption levels and supports generational wealth transfer.
No Increase to the Top Individual Tax Rate: The proposed 39.6% rate was removed from the bill.
Restoration of Key Business Provisions:
Full expensing of research and development
Bonus depreciation
Fixes to the interest expense deduction limit
Immediate Expensing for Certain Industrial Structures: Applies to facilities used in manufacturing, refining, agriculture and related industries.

HOUSING
Use of Brewer Court for access caused concern for multiple councilmembers, who expressed worries about the impact of res and tra c in the area.
Because the development has one access point, if it exceeds 30 units — as the plan does — all units must be equipped with a
re sprinkler to reduce re risks.
As for the tra c potential, a study conducted by the developer showed no signicant increase to tra c in the area. However, construction may still include tra c mitigation e orts, such as installing a four-way stop at Alexander Place and Allen Street.
Before being brought before the town council, the plan was approved 5-0 by the planning commission. For now, the development does not have a construction timeline.
MOBILITY HUB
Anticipated tra c impacts
With general working hours for the project to take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday — with occasional night work — motorists and pedestrians can expect numerous tra c impacts. e southbound I-25 on-ramp and northbound I-25 o -ramp at Lincoln Avenue will experience lane shifts throughout the project, with intermittent full closures. During full ramp closures, detour routes will be in place. ere will also be occasional single- and multi-lane closures on northbound and southbound I-25
around the Lincoln Avenue Interchange.
A full closure across I-25 can be anticipated this fall. is closure may span over several nights to set the pedestrian bridge over the interstate.
Other impacts include shifting center lanes on northbound and southbound I-25 to allow for median construction work and pedestrian sidewalk detours.
Concept drawings and maps of the construction can be found on the CDOT website at codot.gov/ projects/i25lonetreemobilityhub. Motorists and pedestrians can also refer to cotrip.org for real-time travel conditions and road closures, and can sign up for email noti cations at subscription.cotrip.org/ alerts/construction.

Cops swap badges for aprons to help athletic program
Parker police help raise funds for Special Olympics Colorado
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When you’re greeted at a Chili’s restaurant, you typically don’t expect your server to be wearing a police uniform.
But for one day at the Chili’s on Twenty Mile Road in Parker, smiles were exchanged, st bumps were given and stories were shared as o cers with the Parker Police Department traded in their badges for aprons for a good cause.
“When an o cer is walking up to your car, it might be a di erent situation,” said Jan Gordon, Special Olympics Colorado’s chief development o cer. “But when they’re walking up to your table (in a restaurant), it’s really a way for them to get to know their community and for the community to get to know them.”
e Parker police, including cadets from its Explorers program, were among numerous law enforcement agencies across the state participating in the annual Tip-A-Cop event, a nationwide fundraiser for Special Olympics.
Whether it was pouring drinks, serving food, washing dishes or talking with customers, the o cers served alongside athletes to raise funds and awareness for the organization.
Founded in 1968, Special Olympics, which is a nonpro t organization, has become the world’s largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Its goal is to end discrimination against people with intel-
lectual disabilities and provide opportunities for physical tness and courage.
Special Olympics aims to o er yearround sports training and athletic competition in various sports. e organization also provides opportunities for individuals to demonstrate courage and improve their health.
e organization boasts millions of athletes across the world, and there are
nearly 28,000 athletes, 1,000 coaches and 9,000 volunteers a part of Special Olympics Colorado.
Gordon has been involved with Special Olympics Colorado for 14 years and every year is amazed by the hope that the fundraising events bring. She added that her favorite part about Tip-A-Cop is watching the o cers work with the athletes.
“ ere’s a real magic between our law enforcement and our athletes,” said Gordon. “I’ve never seen anything like it … it really brings them so much joy.”
O cer Miachel Iranfar has been with the Parker Police Department for three years and this was his second time serving alongside the athletes.
“I think the community’s interaction with the department, doing stu like this is awesome and a good time,” Iranfar said . He said he loves to volunteer for this event because it not only helps the department, but it helps the athletes reach their goals. While Iranfar helped sta in the kitchen and brought food to customers, he also got to spend time sitting and talking with the athletes.
“Being able to help out in something that they cherish, love to do, and do on a daily basis and work so hard for, I think being able to support them is the best thing,” Iranfar said.
At events, such as Tip-A-Cop, funds raised go toward supporting training, competition, health screenings and continuing to build a community for athletes. Gordon said that Colorado raises about $1.5 million annually.
Being a part of a fundraising e ort like this was something John Kontrelos was happy to do.
Kontrelos has been a manager at the Chili’s on Twenty Mile Road for four years, and over the years, has loved getting to know the o cers and athletes — and watching them roam around, bus tables, and talk and smile with the customers.
“Being a small community, it just helps us connect,” said Kontrelos. “It’s wonderful to have them here.”

BIKE RIDING
Following the death of Alex Mackiewicz, a 13-year-old who was on his way to school when he was struck by a vehicle while crossing Venneford Ranch at Highlands Ranch Parkway, Cislo and Deputy Mark Adams began having conversations on starting a safety program.
Other intersections of concern include Wildcat Reserve Parkway and Monarch Bouelvard, Broadway and Highlands Ranch Parkway, Lincoln Avenue and South Quebec Street.
“I mean, any intersection in Highlands Ranch,” Cislo said.
Cislo said there have been too many close calls concerning safety, especially with the growing popularity of electricpowered scooters and bikes.
“I think we’ve kind of failed as a community in educating the kids on bike safety,” said Cislo. “Kids that have really no sense of road safety are driving higher-speed bikes and scooters now.”
While looking for ways to push the program forward, Cislo and Adams came across Colorado Safe Routes to Schools, a program administered by the Colorado Department of Transportation. e program aims to make walking and biking to school safer and more accessible by working with school districts and community members.
It was by chance that the Douglas County School District was also having conversations with Colorado Safe Routes to Schools, so the school district and sheri ’s o ce decided to come together to put on the Eye-Five event.
“Essentially, it’s a virtual high ve,” said Cislo. “You get to a crosswalk, you’re
making eye contact with drivers and hopefully those drivers are making eye contact with you.”
Learning valuable skills
In addition to learning to always wear a properly- t helmet, ride in the same direction as tra c and other basic skills, children will be able to learn the rules of the road by navigating various courses.
For younger children, Adams, who is the school resource o cer at Chaparral High School in Parker, said it will be about understanding balance and how to maneuver their bikes by using strider bikes, which have no pedals. ere will also be beginner and intermediate courses for pedal bikes that include obstacles like ramps and curbs.
“Kids tend to get a little brave and want to jump o curbs … but we’re going to try to show them some safer ways to either ascend or descend curbs,” Adams said. However, the main focus will be on crosswalks and the importance of using both sight and sound to be aware of trafc.
One of the stations will include a speed demonstration. A cop car will go past a stop sign going 20 miles per hour, then 30, then 40 to show what the varying levels of speed look and sound like. ey will also demonstrate what a complete stop looks like.
example intersection where the children can learn when it is safe to cross.
“Just because that little walking guy (on the crosswalk signal) turned white, you still have to take a second, look both ways, then go,” said Cislo. “Make sure cars aren’t blowing (through) the stop lights.”
Cislo and Adams hope to host this event twice a year — once when school gets out for summer break and another when children go back to school. ey also hope to expand the course and concepts to high school students for when they begin to drive.
“ e main thing is, just be safe, be cognizant, don’t get distracted with any kind of mobile device and just pay attention to who else you are sharing the road with,” Adams said.

New rule in place for pucks, crossbars and goal frames
BY STEVE SMITH
SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
ree new rules will be in play when the 2025-2026 ice hockey season begins in Colorado.
e puck is unplayable if it comes to rest on top of the goal between the crossbar and the goal frame.
According to the National Federation of High Schools’ web page, the rule also clari es the rules for pucks on the outside of the goal netting and below the crossbar. Play continues in this instance.
“ e primary reason for stopping play when the puck is on top of the net is for the health and safety of players and the goalkeeper,” said Dan Schuster, NFHS director of educational services and editor of the NFHS Ice Hockey Rules Book, in the statement on the NFHS web page.
“ e committee did not want to see sticks coming up high, trying to knock the puck o the shelf,” Schuster continued. “ e proximity of the goalkeeper is always sensitive, so there could be sticks
coming in high in the direction of the goalkeeper and the committee did not want that in high-school ice hockey.”
Another rule will keep goalkeepers from wearing audio and video devices during games.
e last rule changes the word “linesman” to “linesperson.” e federation’s rule book replaced gender-speci c language earlier.
According to the most recent NFHS athletic participation survey, more than 32,000 boys participate in ice hockey in 1,641 high schools across the country, and more than 9,600 girls participate in the sport in 785 schools.

Locals travel to Washington to make case for Medicaid
Family, nonprofit healthcare organizations discuss impacts of potential cuts
BY ISABEL GUZMAN IGUZMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Tim and Kara Norick of the Littleton area adopted their second-youngest son of six children, Malakai, from China in 2016, when he was almost 3 years old. Malakai was found on a bridge in China at just days old in dire medical condition and was rushed to a hospital in Shanghai, where he was diagnosed with severe pneumonia, organ failure and other complex medical conditions.
After almost three years in an orphanage, Malakai was adopted and brought to join his new family near Littleton.
After being treated at Children’s Hospital Colorado, Malakai was diagnosed with Opitz G/BBB Syndrome — a rare condition a ecting the entire midline of his body.
“ ink about anything that crosses through your midline like your digestive system, your trachea, your lungs, even your eyes and your nose, are all impacted by the syndrome,” Tim Norick said.
Now almost 12, Malakai has undergone several surgeries and treatments, and even received a custom-built larynx, or “voice box.”
e Noricks have private health insurance to keep up with Malakai’s medical costs and use Medicaid, or government issued health insurance, to supplement.
“Children’s Hospital gave us a caseworker o the bat and we were very grateful for that because they were able to do a lot of the front work (setting up) Medicaid support (which) we’ve had since the very beginning,” Kara Norick said.
Medicaid helped cover costs for Malakai’s growth hormone medication, something the Noricks’ private insurance wouldn’t pay for.
Additionally, Kara Norick said their primary insurance paid for feeding tubes, but not for Malaki’s Malone tube, a small tube that empties bowels. Medicaid paid for Malakai’s Malone tube equipment.
Because of the several times Medicaid was able to cover costs for Malakai’ health, the Noricks are avid supporters of preserving Medicaid.
As part of Children’s Hospital Association’s Family Advocacy Day, the Norick family recently traveled to Washington, D.C., with 60 other patients and their families to advocate for preserving Medicaid amid the potential cuts being
debated in Congress. Kara Norick said she was impressed with how legislators spoke with Malakai and made him feel valued.
“It was a breath of fresh air to see how truly bipartisan things can be,” she said.
Medicaid under the ‘big, beautiful bill’ e budget consolidation bill, H.R.1, commonly referred to as the One Big
Beautiful Bill Act, was introduced by House Republicans. It aims to “reduce taxes, reduce or increase spending for various federal programs, increase the statutory debt limit, and otherwise address agencies and programs throughout the federal government,” according to the bill’s language.
Ranging from tax cuts to implementing new work requirements to qualify for Medicaid and SNAP, the bill narrowly passed in the Senate on July 1 and went back to the House of Representatives for another vote.
e Congressional Budget O ce estimated that H.R.1 would decrease federal Medicaid spending by $793 billion because of new work requirements that the o ce said would cut insurance coverage for 10.3 million people nationwide.
According to WhiteHouse.gov, the bill will strengthen “the integrity of Medicaid by eliminating waste, fraud and abuse.”
Kara Norick said she worries about keeping Malakai on his necessary medications as he gets older.
“We are proponents of trying to be as independent as you can,” Kara Norick said. “But unless I am making (the medicine), administering it, doing everything, it’s seen as: ‘oh, he’s independent, he doesn’t need it.’”
The local Medicaid battle For Doctors Care, a nonpro t clinic in Littleton, the cuts to patients’ Medicaid coverage could cost the clinic thousands. e organization is currently losing $20,000 per month in Medicaid funds from the now-ended Public Health Emergency’s Continuous Coverage Unwind that was established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
e clinic doesn’t turn away anyone who can’t a ord a visit and uses a sliding fee scale, for which the price of services and medication are adjusted to what a patient can pay. Currently, 30% of Doctors Care’s patients are uninsured.
“We’re going to see another 5-to-15% of people who will become uninsured, and that just places so much pressure on the overall healthcare system,” said Bebe Kleinman, CEO of Doctors Care.

Intimacy is a deeply personal and evolving aspect of a woman’s life, shaped by physical, emotional and hormonal changes across di erent life stages. From early adulthood to postmenopause, the way women experience intimacy can shift in many ways. ese changes are natural and should be understood with compassion and openness, both personally and in relationships. In early adulthood, intimacy is often in uenced by exploration, self-discovery and the development of emotional bonds. is period is usually marked by high energy and libido, and fewer barriers to sexual activity. As women move into their 30s and 40s, intimacy can become more emotionally rooted. Relationships may

The Town of Castle Rock’s commitment to public safety is being strengthened, thanks to voter support of a 0.2% sales tax increase that passed last November. e funding is already making an impact by boosting emergency response sta ng. e sales tax is expected to generate about $3.75 million annually and support the hiring of 40 additional public safety personnel between 2025 and 2029. Progress toward that commitment is well underway.
Already this year, Castle Rock Fire and Rescue has hired 10 positions: ve re ghters/ EMTs, three re ghters/paramedics, one emergency vehicle technician, and one assistant re chief of Emergency Management Services and Special Operations.
All of the new re ghter/ paramedics and re ghter/ EMTs came to the department with prior experience. After completing training last month, they were assigned to shifts, enabling CRFD to put its fourth ambulance into service on June 21.
e new medic unit, assigned to Fire Station 155 on Crowfoot Valley Road, enhances response capabilities and ensures continued high-level service as Castle Rock grows.
e Castle Rock Police Department has also been busy. So far, the department has hired an animal welfare supervisor and all nine allotted police ocer positions for patrol, schools and tra c enforcement. All police o cers are currently in various stages of training, including seven who will be attending the police academy in July. e department is in the process of hiring a police dispatcher.
ese hires represent the beginning of the multi-year plan to maintain service levels and meet growing demands — and

Who knew Douglas County Commissioner George Teal could be such a sore loser? After his pet project, Home Rule, was soundly rejected by voters — by a staggering 71% to 29% — did he pause to consider that he and his fellow commissioners may have misjudged the will of the people or rushed a complicated initiative without adequately informing the public? Of course not.
Instead of engaging in any meaningful selfre ection, Teal o ered a convenient scapegoat: shadowy “outside special interests” supposedly ooding the county with misinformation and lies. But rather than substantiating these claims, he doubled down with an even more outrageous accusation — that the opposition was funded by the Chinese Communist Party.
His target? A Douglas County physician, an American citizen of Japanese descent, who personally contributed $14,500 of her own money to oppose Home Rule. To insinuate that she — or anyone — was acting as an agent of a foreign adversary is not only baseless, it’s reckless and shameful.
As voters, we deserve leaders who accept responsibility, learn from defeat, and speak with integrity. When the next election comes around, let’s hope we can nd someone more grounded, more thoughtful, and frankly, more grown-up to help lead Douglas County.

Our national holiday
July Fourth is much more than BBQs and beer. It celebrates the birth of our nation, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, a statement of why our rst patriots felt compelled to rebel against their king. Every American would do well to read it aloud at home and in their public spaces on this day — and to honor its contents. Some of the complaints sound familiar to our ears:
• [the King] “has obstructed the administration of Justice;”
• he has “a ected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power;”•
• he is “cutting o our trade with all parts of the world” and “imposing taxes without our consent;”
• he is “depriving us in many cases of the bene ts of trial by jury” and is “transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended o ences;”
• he is “altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;”
• “he has excited domestic insurrections amongst us.”
their leaders be answerable to them and to the laws they enact. Let us honor the true meaning of this national holiday.

Thanks to clear-headed voters
ank you to the voters of Douglas County for overwhelmingly rejecting the rushed and unnecessary Home Rule initiative. Your clearheaded decision-making and commitment to facts over fear showed far more wisdom than some of our elected o cials have demonstrated. In particular, I was disheartened — but not surprised — by Commissioner Teal’s reckless and baseless claim that the opposition to Home Rule was funded by the Chinese Communist Party. When asked for proof, his response — “is there evidence it isn’t?” — was the rhetorical equivalent of shouting “witch” and waiting for the mob to form. It’s an insult to voters and to basic logic.
Douglas County deserves better than conspiracy theories and scare tactics. Voters saw through the manipulation and rightly questioned why this initiative was pushed so fast, with so little input or clarity about the consequences.
And now, despite the decisive defeat, the commissioners have vowed to keep bringing it back “until it passes.” at’s not listening to the people — that’s political stubbornness wrapped in arrogance.
ey declare, “A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may de ne a Tyrant, is un t to be the ruler of a free people.”
By this declaration, Americans asserted their unwillingness to be serfs or vassals to an unaccountable ruler, but free people who demand
Our community deserves leaders who lead with facts, humility, and a respect for the will of the people. ank you to everyone who voted, spoke out, and helped protect the integrity of our county. Your voices matter, and they were heard. Let’s keep standing up for transparent, accountable governance—no matter how many times we have to say “no.”

Bloodhounds and alligators
Towards the end of the Civil War the mountains of Western Virginia, now West Virginia, were a refuge for escaped slaves. One young man was welcomed by the community and is buried in an unmarked grave of our family cemetery.
Locals could always tell by the baying of bloodhounds when a slave was on the run and the term “ ey ran the dogs last night” was gleefully expressed by the few members of the community who supported slavery.
Fast forward 160 years. Alligator Alcatraz is the nickname of a Florida immigrant prison, located in the Everglades. More than a few MAGA Republicans are gleefully repeating Donald Trump and Fox News by making jokes about alligators and escaped immigrant prisoners. Sadly, some of these people live in Douglas County.

Time for Teal to apologize
We, the undersigned members and supporters of Vote No on Douglas County Home Rule, Stop the Douglas County Power Grab, No Little Kings in Douglas County, and the League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, demand a public apology for the baseless and defamatory accusation by Commissioner George Teal that our committee is funded by the Chinese Communist Party.
is claim is entirely false, wholly unsupported by any evidence, and represents a deliberate attempt to mislead voters and discredit grassroots, nonpartisan civic engagement. Such rhetoric is reckless, in ammatory, and unacceptable in a democratic society that values truth, transparency, and civil discourse. We call for a formal retraction of this statement and a public apology, to be made through the same televised platforms where this falsehood was originally broadcast. Anything less would amount to an endorsement of misinformation and slander.
Our coalition consists of local residents — Republicans, Democrats, independents, and una liated voters — who care deeply about protecting good governance and the rights of the people of Douglas County. We stand united in rejecting political bullying and disinformation.
is kind of smear tactic has no place in Douglas County or anywhere in Colorado.
We demand accountability. We demand the truth. And we demand an apology to all signers of this letter.

The home rule vote
I am a very recently approved permanent resident of the USA and my wife and I have chosen for now to live in Highlands Ranch; it is a beautiful community with excellent amenities.
I was intrigued by the home rule banners and other signage, both for and against, that were displayed and although I am not yet a voter of su cient status, I was able to read up about the subject — in part through the Highlands Ranch Herald.
It is perhaps not appropriate for me, as a newbie in the community — and perhaps to settle elsewhere in the country in the future — to engage myself
with local due processes formally, but I think that my comments below will su ciently make the point without my actually interfering with how things are done — and perhaps as they always have been. It seems to me that throughout the corridors of power in this wonderful country, money really talks; how more democratic would it be if funds for elections were allocated from a central fund available to all parties proportionately in some way? Millions if not billions seem to be spent / blown on campaigns for the election of a president.
I was shocked that a council could spend an alleged half-million dollars on a campaign and process that didn’t have to be addressed at this time; it could reportedly easily have been covered at the same time as the Nov. 4 coordinated election. In the United Kingdom — where we hail from — such an action would certainly initiate a storm of protest and de nitely cause at least one head to roll; such would be demanded for such an apparent gross waste of money! Further, back in the old country, I believe that no commercial or other donations to support arguments of this nature either way could be accepted; funds would come only from local reserves and only after a full council vote to proceed.
So many programs (and deserving needs) could surely have been supported with a share of $500k! Who in their right mind makes such decisions and why would commercial entities be the primary supporters? I suspect there may have been ulterior motives behind the plan ...
Just saying ...

Bipartisanship in Douglas County
After months of what seems like a stream of never-ending assaults on democracy, the recent special election in Douglas County proved that our system of checks and balances remains intact and even, dare I say it, healthy.
Voters in this suburban Denver metro county overwhelmingly shut down an e ort by the county commissioners to steamroll a change in county governance that would likely have given them more power and control.
It was a shellacking: 71% of the voters pushed back and voted no on home rule. But that is just part of the story. In a world where hyperpartisan politics and attitudes are the norm these days, this election brought together people from all political a liations in all corners of the county — both urban and rural — to let our elected o cials know we are paying attention, and we don’t like what we see. And it proved that although we might all disagree on any number of issues, we can all coalesce around something that a ects all of us.
I found that very heartening and reafrming. It tells me this tribal society we have been experiencing is not glacially frozen. We can nd common ground and work together for a greater good. For the rst time in what seems like ages, we saw Democrats, Republicans and Independents actually talking with and listening to each other. Perhaps this experience can help melt the freeze that has prevented such cooperation from occurring for too long.
After all, we are all in this together. We can all learn from each other if we just take the time to listen. at makes everyone stronger and better. Cynics might call my Pollyanna attitude naive and simplistic. But I think this is a golden opportunity to chart a new course toward civil (and civic) discourse.
Chevron faces accusations in ‘blowout’
Weld County families displaced after ‘unprecedented’ incident
BY CHASE WOODRUFF NEWSLINE COLORADO
Colorado regulators have launched an enforcement action against oil giant Chevron for an April well “blowout” that caused evacuations and closures in a community in eastern Weld County.
O cials with the Energy and Carbon Management Commission said that some residents remain displaced from their homes in tiny Galeton, an unincorporated town of 250 people located about 10 miles northeast of Greeley, nearly three months after the incident at Chevron’s Bishop well pad.
e well failure caused a high-pressure ow of oil, gas and water to spew from the site for ve days before emergency crews were able to bring it under control. With millions of gallons of uid released, it’s believed to be one of the largest oil and gas spills in state history, and the resulting plume spread dangerous levels of toxic chemicals as far as two miles away, according to data from Colorado State University researchers.
“I can say with certainty that this is signi cant and unprecedented during my
tenure, not just in terms of volumes released … but in terms of complexity, in terms of scale of impact to environmental services, as well as residents,” said Je Robbins, who has served as chair of the ve-member ECMC board of commissioners since 2020.
A so-called notice of alleged violation issued by ECMC sta to Chevron subsidiary Noble Energy lists six di erent breaches of the agency’s rules, initiating what is likely to be a lengthy regulatory enforcement action. e notice accuses Chevron of violating water quality standards, breaking employee safety rules, “fail(ing) to engineer and operate all equipment within the manufacturer’s recommended speci cations,” and more.
An initial analysis completed by Chevron earlier this month identi ed the root cause of the incident as “improper assembly” of on-site equipment by a contractor. A total of 16 oil and gas wells were planned to be drilled on the Bishop site as part of a development plan approved by the ECMC in September 2022.
As part of the enforcement process, ECMC sta will calculate penalties against Chevron that will then be adjudicated by commissioners. Greg Duranleau, the ECMC’s deputy director of operations, said the penalties were “one piece of the nancial impacts this incident may have on Chevron.”
Yoga in the Park
“ ere may be civil settlements for damage, there’s a possibility for other agencies to enforce their regulations, and of course, there’s the cost of the response and cleanup,” Duranleau told commissioners during a special public hearing on ursday.
Four of 14 families that were evacuated from the Galeton area after the blowout remain displaced from their homes, according to Chevron.
“We continue to actively work with the remaining residents on the next steps, including getting access to their properties to conduct assessments and cleaning,” the company’s website says.
An extensive cleanup and remediation e ort is underway, a process that Chevron estimates could take up to ve years. ousands of environmental samples have been taken across a 7-square-mile “assessment area” centered on the well site, sta told commissioners.
“I am optimistic that Chevron will work with us through the enforcement process to bring a timely resolution,” ECMC Director Julie Murphy said in a statement. “And I am grateful to the many folks at Chevron who are working diligently to remediate the signi cant impacts of this incident.” is story is from Colorado Newsline.

What ‘no kings’ really meant Curt Smothers (letter to editor 6/26/25) does not seem to grasp what the “no kings” protests were about. While Trump does not have a title of king, he sure is acting as if he is. You can include his Cabinet in that too.
Trump:
Try to ban birthright citizenship. Constitution’s 14th amendment. is means Secretary of State Marco Rubio is not a citizen.
Quatari jet. Blatant in uence. Waste of money to convert.
Arab Bitcoin investment. Now previously banned AI chips are going to the Middle East.
Kick out immigrants. But, if you pay $5 million you can get a gold visa.
Birthday Army parade charade. Asks ABC News’ Terry Moran, “Why don’t you just say yes?” In reference to Trump saying MS13 was not Photoshopped on Garcia knuckles. Obviously Photoshopped.
People/reporters who disagree or ask tough question are, low IQ, fake news, kicked out of press meetings. reatens loss of federal funds from city/state that do not do what he wants. Only Congress can change this. Curt says judiciary has shown it can rein in Trump. Where does he get that?
Trump ignores or litigates and goes on. Commerce Secretary Howard Litnick. Missed Social Security check: said mother-in-law would not complain. Fraudsters would. So, that means somebody who calls about missed payment is a fraudster. Millions rely on SS. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — never admitted to security failure in the signal chat debacle.
Attorney General Pam Bondi. Avoids answering question about the Bitcoin sale being foreign in uence. Says look at drug problem.
Ended the Foreign In uence Task Force, (established in the rst Trump administration).
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. doesn’t know what habeas corpus means. ought it gave power to president.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. In every interview it looks and sounds like he is trying not to make a statement that would get him in trouble with Trump.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon: When asked about choosing between upholding the law — for example, administering education funds already appropriated by Congress — and carrying out Trump’s directives, McMahon said that “the president will not ask me to do anything that is against the law.” Ha!
All of them say “fake news,” “low IQ,” “stupid question.”

Castle Rock concert series returns for summer
This year’s series features national acts including Sugar Ray and Gavin DeGraw
BY JULIA KING SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Castle Rock’s annual Summer Concert Series is back in full swing, drawing crowds to Philip S. Miller Park with a lineup that covers everything from charttoppers to local favorites.
is year’s series features national acts like Sugar Ray and Gavin DeGraw, alongside local openers and themed tribute nights — including a collaboration between the Denver Pops Orchestra and yacht-rock cover band Yachty Got Back on Labor Day weekend. e rst concert of the season, headlined by Sugar Ray, kicked o the series in June.
“We started curating this lineup last fall,” said Erika Alsobrook, special events supervisor for the Town of Castle Rock. “Each of the ve concerts has its own heartbeat and rhythm. at’s one of my favorite things about this series — each show stands alone, but they all come together to make something really special.”
Alsobrook said community input plays a big role in shaping the series. At the end of each season, the town sends out surveys asking residents what genres and artists they’d like to see next year.
“ at feedback helps us learn what the community wants,” she said. “Sometimes someone mentions a local band they saw at a bar, and even if we don’t book that exact artist, it sparks ideas and conversations. It really is a communitydriven lineup.”
e concerts typically draw between 1,500 and 1,800 people each, with a venue capacity of 2,200.
“We always see a spike in ticket sales when the lineup drops,” Alsobrook said. “And then it builds again the week of the show as people start making plans.”
Tickets are sold in tiers — general admission on the elevated lawn, mid-level orchestra seats and front-row patio box seating with tables and bar service.
“No matter where you’re sitting, you’re close to the stage,” Alsobrook said. “ e

“We absolutely love when families come out together,” Alsobrook said. “One of my favorite moments was seeing a little boy yell ‘I know that guy!’ when Sugar Ray’s opener, Dylan Cotrone, walked by.”
Organizers also prioritize a wide mix of genres each year.
“Country plays really well here,” said Castle Rock program specialist Lisa Sorbo. “But we try to always include a top-40 artist … that really helps make the whole series a really fun experience for people, because you’ve just got this broad array of music.”

Elizabeth Hockaday, Doctors Care’s development and marketing director, said while the clinic will continue its mission of serving all patients regardless of insurance status, the lack of income has pushed the facility to rely on donations.
“Charitable giving can be just as volatile sometimes as whatever is happening in politics and the stock market,” Hockaday said.
Kleinman said Doctors Care’s partners with other nonpro ts that o er resources for food, housing and community engagement are also in a vulnerable position.
“In previous years when budgets have been in crisis, there might be one partner that is in a dip,” she said. “But what we’re seeing now is that there’s really no part of the community safety net that isn’t under attack. at’s very impactful to the patients we serve.”
Since H.R.1 would also seek to decrease federal spending on SNAP, Kleinman said she is worried about people losing food resources, which would a ect the health of many. Patients who have access to nutritious food, have housing and are employed are easier to care for than when they wait too long to see a doctor due to medical costs and become very sick, according to Kleinman.
Hockaday said the stress put on the healthcare system then impacts nurses, doctors and other hospital sta who become quickly burned out from treating an in ux of sick and diseased patients.

Lee said in 2023, when the Public Health Emergency Unwind ended, 800,000 Coloradans lost Medicaid coverage. According to the Urban Institute, at least 120,000 Coloradans are expected to lose coverage due to the introduction of Medicaid work requirements alone, with more likely mistakenly disenrolled.

they’re getting sicker until they get care, usually at the emergency department … people shouldn’t wait until they’re terribly sick to get care — and when it’s the most expensive care,” she said. e cost of expensive medical intervention that is not compensated begins a ripple e ect on the healthcare system, Lee said.
“Having our members lose coverage is painful and it’s also painful to know that our providers will not be able to access the kinds of revenues that they need in order to stay a oat to continue serving their communities,” she said.
Both Lee and Kleinman said they are “weathering the storm of uncertainty” each day, waiting to see if the bill passes and how soon changes will be ordered.
ey addressed the perception that Medicaid is an abused welfare resource.
“Medicaid saves lives,” Kleinman said. “We judge what self-su ciency looks like and most of us are not in a position to be judging others.”
Lee echoed the importance of Medicaid for children: “We know cases of kids born with severe developmental delays and diseases that are very di cult and expensive to treat, and if not for Medicaid, they wouldn’t be able to go on and live their lives.”
For Malakai and his parents, Medicaid lls in the gaps that primary insurance can’t.
“Medicaid can provide life-a rming care that Malakai would not have otherwise,” Tim Norick said.
