Ballot issue 7A would allow South Suburban to adjust tax rate Parks and rec district seeks ability to ratchet mill levy up or down

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Voters will decide this fall whether to allow South Suburban Parks and Recreation to adjust its mill levy rate in the future without asking voters.

The measure, Ballot Issue 7A, will appear on ballots across the district, which includes Littleton, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, Lone Tree, Sheridan, much of Centennial and some unincorporated areas of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties.

The district’s current mill levy rate is 8.364, according to South Suburban’s 2019 budget. Voters have previously approved several increases to the levy, and in 2017 approved a measure that indefinitely extended the district’s tax structure.

If 7A is approved, the district would be allowed to adjust its mill levy up or down without voter approval, starting in 2021.

According to the ballot language, the measure would help the district offset reduced revenue as a result of property tax reductions caused by the Gallagher amendment.

Colorado’s residential property tax assessment rate fell to 7.15% from 7.2% in 2019, according to the Colorado General Assembly’s website. The Gallagher Amendment adjusts residential property tax rates downward over time.

Proponents say the measure will allow South Suburban to maintain a predictable budget, according to the Blue Book voter’s guide, and will help the district preserve its recreation facilities and open spaces.

Opponents, however, say the measure permanently eliminates voter oversight over South Suburban’s tax rate, and say that the district has mismanaged funds in the past and hasn’t earned the right to control its own tax rate.

HALIE LEWIS

Pediatric cancer survivor, highlighted by mayor, wants to raise awareness of condition Challenging childhood I am 17 years old, and I was born in Oregon. I moved around a lot, but I have lived in Centennial for the past seven years.

I was diagnosed with a stagefour Wilms tumor on my kidney when I was 5 years old. The hardest thing about going through cancer was the fact that I wasn’t able to be a normal kid. I couldn’t run around and play with my classmates because I was too tired from treatment. I didn’t have any hair; instead, I had to wear a wig.

I worried about my medical issues rather than the normal things a kindergartener should be worrying about.

My family was my biggest support. Looking back, I have realized all of the sacrifices that my made family to support me in every way.

I would have never been able to make it through without the never-ending love I received from my immediate and extended family.

‘Lifelong journey’ Pediatric cancer is a lifelong journey. I was diagnosed in July 2007, and I was declared cancerfree in April 2008. But just because you are declared “cancer-free” does not mean you are completely cancer-free. Not only can there be physical side effects of treatment, but there are also many mental side effects too. These can last for the rest of your lifetime. That is one of the reasons why raising awareness and gaining support for those with pediatric cancer is so important.

I don’t think many people know just how prevalent and devastating childhood cancer is. Pediatric cancer can be a hard thing to talk about. Children are forced to grow up and face adult situations so early on in life. I don’t think people deliberately steer away from spreading the word about pediatric cancer. I just think it can be a difficult and emotional discussion to have.

Raising awareness I have sent countless messages to city and state representatives, news stations and reporters, and local organizations. I have been actively trying to raise awareness by contacting these people for about four years. During these four years, I have only received one reply, and that was our wonderful (Centennial) Mayor Stephanie Piko.

Giving back I am most looking forward to experiencing all that the world has to offer. I am looking forward to traveling to different countries all throughout the world and learning about different cultures and ways of life. Above all, I want to take in every moment because it is truly a miracle that I am still alive today.

Currently, I am in school to become an emergency medical technician. I plan on working on an ambulance as an EMT as I work my way through nursing school.

As a medical professional, I can help people who are going through tough times much like I did during my cancer journey. Down the road, I plan on getting married, starting a family and teaching my children to speak out about what is important to them.

Teen suicide PSAs released by coalition of state offices, parents, teens Youths speak out about mental health following stories of south metro suicides

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When the impact of a suicide started to take a toll on Jim Janicek’s kids, he knew he had to do something.

“My kids go to Arapahoe High School,” Janicek told a crowd at the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center near downtown Denver.

When Arapahoe student Nick Bales died by suicide last fall, it sent Janicek’s kids into a spiral, he said.

That was just a few days before another Arapahoe student took her life.

“My kids literally came home say-

ing, ‘I’m so scared because I don’t know who’s going to be next,’” Janicek said.

Janicek, the president of a TV production and marketing company, approached the Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media, later talking to the state Attorney General’s Office.

Eventually, he met Rick Padilla, the father of Jack Padilla, a freshman at Cherry Creek High School who died by suicide in February. Friends of Jack Padilla, who assembled into a group called “Jackstrong” to raise awareness about suicide, got involved in Janicek’s push, too.

It all led up to an Oct. 8 ceremony at the judicial center, where state officials, teens and mental health leaders launched public service announcement-style videos with a concerted message: “You’re not alone.”

The videos feature young people

opening up about their own struggles with mental health and suicide attempts, sharing information about resources and giving advice to parents on how to help kids who may be having suicidal thoughts.

“I truly believe we can live in a world without suicide,” said Zoe Royer, one of five young people who spoke at the event. “The first step is right here. Talking, listening, building meaningful relationships.”

State Attorney General Phil Weiser mentioned Colorado’s high youth suicide rate compared to other states and said one of the core challenges to getting people help is stigma surrounding talking about mental health, which the initiative wants to change.

“If we are all half as brave as you are, I think we’re going to be in good shape,” Weiser told the five young speakers.

The videos — on Instagram and You-

Tube — have a collective thousands of views, with the Instagram account amassing more than 300 followers as of Oct. 11.

Leaders from Rocky Mountain Crisis Partners, Mental Health Colorado and the state Office of Behavioral Health also spoke, along with Donald Zuckerman, film commissioner with the Office of Film, Television and Media.

Rick Padilla is one of many parents who lost children — four in total — to suicide in the Cherry Creek School District this year, and other south metro Denver students died by suicide as well in that time.

“I think there’s really three goals,” Padilla said of the PSA effort. “One, elevate the conversation and awareness around the issue. The second goal is to reach teens through teens.”

LPS to be subject of youth suicide study Researcher to investigate how to build culture of health and safety

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Public Schools will form one-half of a long-term study into the relationship between social environments and youth suicide.

Dr. Anna Mueller, a professor of sociology from Indiana University, will lead the study, while her colleague Sarah Diefendorf will conduct a concurrent study in Mesa County on Colorado’s Western Slope. The study will be conducted over two school years, concluding in 2021.

The goal, Mueller said, is to learn how to build more connected schools and communities that impart a sense of belonging among youths.

“We’re seeing concerning trends nationwide showing increasing rates of youth suicide and other youth mental health disorders,” Mueller said. “Rather than coming in with assumptions, this is trying to hear kids’ voices themselves.

What’s it like to be a kid today? What are sources of stress and distress?”

The study, “Social Worlds and Youth Wellbeing Study,” will be conducted two ways, according to its website: Mueller and Diefendorf will observe “youth-centered community life in

schools and other community locations,” and will also conduct interviews and focus groups with youths, school staff, parents and other community members.

Participants’ names and identifying characteristics will not be used in the study, Mueller said, and schools will be given pseudonyms. No one under 18 will be interviewed without written permission from their parents or guardians, Mueller said.

Mueller has a lengthy background of studying youth suicide and youth culture, according to her website, annasmueller.com, including dozens of articles, studies and awards.

Mueller is not being paid by LPS, said Nate Thompson, the district’s director of social, emotional and behavioral services, though officials are glad she’s here.

“We love the idea of having a sociologist give an outside perspective of the district and what life is like for our kids,” Thompson said. “We’ve got a relentless focus on how we can help kids be well, and this will give us some great feedback.”

It’s important that Mueller be given space to operate independently, Thompson said.

“We want her to have complete free rein to be honest,” Thompson said.

LPS has dealt with its fair share of tragedy in recent years, Thompson said, including the 2013 shooting at Arapahoe High School that left student Claire Davis and her killer dead,

“Trauma compounds,” Thompson said. “We’re dealing with the impacts of that. We’re hoping for insights into what’s unique about our community.”

LPS has taken a proactive approach to youth mental health, Thompson said, developing a variety of programs over the past several years.

The district’s mental health resource program connects families with a network of more than 200 mental health care providers, Thompson said, and the district’s foundation will even pay for services for families in need.

Still, Thompson said, there’s always room to do more.

“Any district that’s taking itself seriously is never satisfied with dealing with mental health,” Thompson said.

“Prevention is hard to measure. We don’t know how many kids in crisis

don’t die by suicide.”

Mueller said she’s been impressed so far with the district’s offerings.

“All of the district’s high schools are incredible,” Mueller said. “The district has put a lot of thought into mental health services and safety. The only downside is that if I find something that works here, it might be hard to recommend to other districts that can’t muster those same resources.”

The study takes place against a backdrop of greater societal awareness of suicide, and amid what appear to be growing suicide rates, said Sarah Brummett, the director of the state’s Office of Suicide Prevention.

The conversation around dealing with suicidality is expanding, Brummett said.

“Historically, suicide prevention has been tied to mental illness and mental health, but suicide is broader than that,” Brummett said. “There’s lots more going on in a community and within families that can increase or decrease risk: isolation, family instability, food insecurity, or experiences of trauma.”

Social media is likely a contributing factor, Brummett said, though she said it’s too simplistic to lay too much blame on it.

“It can also be a platform for young people to connect and get validation and help in non-traditional ways,” Brummett said. “But it can also SEE STUDY, P20

Use a Reverse Mortgage to Fund Retirement To qualify for a government-insured reverse mortgage (aka HECM), at least one borrower must be 62, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 40–60% equity. Most types of properties are acceptable. A HECM is also a non-recourse loan, meaning even if your home loses value due to a market downturn, you or your heirs can never be “under water.”

by Kathy Muni According to author Wade Pfau, PhD, CFA, finanical planning research has shown that coordinated use of a reverse mortgage early in retirement outperforms a “last resort” reverse mortgage.

A reverse mortgage is a retirement tool that can be incorporated as part of an overall retirement cashflow plan.

The benefits of a reverse mortgage are numerous.

Coordinating retirement spending from a reverse mortgage reduces strain on the investment portfolio.

This helps manage the risk of having to sell assets at a loss during market downturns. Reverse mortgages can help sidestep this risk by providing an alternate source of cash during market declines, creating more opportunity for the portfolio to recover.

Additionally, opening a reverse mortgage early—especially when interest rates are low—ensures the principal limit (loan balance plus remaining line of credit) that you can access will continue to grow throughout retirement.

Candidates for Centennial City Council, District 1 Candace Moon Ron Phelps Occupation: Current city councilmember; retired from federal government service Contact information/website: candacemoonforcentennial@gmail. com, www.CandaceMoonforCentennial.com Why are you seeking this office?

I want all residents who live in Centennial and all people who work and play in Centennial to feel welcome and included in our city’s activities.

Many challenging decisions will be made in the next four years that will determine our city’s path. I want to make sure Moon that our city (is a place) where residents can enjoy a high quality of life.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I am running as an incumbent councilmember. I have a proven record of achievement for fiscal responsibility, leadership, commitment, integrity, dedication and service — and, most importantly, working with honesty and integrity on behalf of our city. I will continue to represent the needs and concerns for all residents to continue the great progress of our city.

If elected, what would your approach be to growth and development in the city?

First, it is important to listen to what our residents are saying and

work to meet their needs. We need to have a plan that includes residents’ needs and the plan must provide avenues of economic growth for our city.

We need to stay abreast of current trends in development and understand the reason for the trends. We must manage our growth and development to best fit the city and residents.

Our plan must be made with a vision for the future that will ensure our city remains economically viable, vibrant and that the city will live for generations to come.

Centennial has managed to stay debt-free for many years. What can be done to manage or prevent potential budget deficits in the future?

We will need to make sure that we increase our revenue stream to meet the steady increase of the costs of contracts for our city services. We can do this by attracting people and business to come to our city to pursue their endeavors. We need to make sure that our contracts are managed to best benefit the city in costs and services.

We must make sure that we get the value of every dollar spent for service and contracts. As economic times change, we must manage our revenue expenditures to stay within budget to prevent deficits.

Of the various issues at hand, the two most critical of my campaign are 1) to fight for limited government policies that honor and protect their private property rights and 2) be a servant leader Phelps who will be an advocate to preserve the neighborhood character, values and quality of life.

What makes you the best person for the job?

Over time, some city ordinances — acting like homeowners’ association covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) — have crept into non-HOA neighborhoods.

Many residents in District 1 don’t want the city to “parent” their way of life. They want someone like me to fight for the lifestyle they’ve enjoyed since they moved into unincorporated Arapahoe County years ago.

If elected, what would your approach be to growth and development in the city?

On a case-by-case basis, balancing

growth with the local effect on our neighborhoods, traffic, schools and taxes.

For example, I formed and lead the neighborhood coalition “Neighbors for The Streets at SouthGlenn” to provide approximately 400 of my neighbors a forum and vehicle to advocate for their needs and wants regarding the redevelopment of Macy’s and Sears.

Centennial has managed to stay debt-free for many years. What can be done to manage or prevent potential budget deficits in the future?

I believe staying true to Centennial’s original vision can guide us to avoid budget deficits.

Incorporated as a city in 2001 and intended as a lean, limitedgovernment idea, Centennial has wisely managed its budget using an outsourcing model for law enforcement and public works, and fiscal conservative policies.

What else do you want voters to know about you and your approach to city governance?

I’m committed to preserving the distinctive value, nature and lifestyle of our neighborhoods while attracting and promoting wise redevelopment.

In principle, the purpose of government is not for the majority of voters to decide what to do with the property of those in the minority.

I might sound old-fashioned, but I was raised with the notion that public service is noble. If one has the time and inclination to serve, he or she should do Holt so at least once. I’m at a point in my life where I can do just that for a community which I love.

What makes you the best person for the job?

I’ve worked in IT for 25 years.

During this time, I’ve had to rely on two skills: understanding technology and listening to clients. Drawing from both, I know I can continue to keep Centennial on the forefront of technology and listen and respond well to what our people need.

If elected, what would your approach be to growth and development in the city?

Centennial is 80% developed.

Developers are coming to the city

with plans that are more vertical (multi-story) than horizontal (singlefamily homes). The challenge will be working with the neighbors and neighborhoods that may be affected by a proposed development to come up with “win-win” solutions. Every project that comes before city council will have its merits and detractors. Each project should be vetted individually, weighing the pros and cons of each project before determining as to whether it would be in the best interests of all.

Centennial has managed to stay debtfree for many years. What can be done to manage or prevent potential budget deficits in the future?

Sales tax represents a little less than half of the city’s revenues. Centennial has done a phenomenal job in drawing unique and innovative business (IKEA, Top Golf). Centennial needs to continue what it’s already doing well by showing businesses, both established concerns as well as “the next big thing.” Additionally, Centennial has set itself up nicely for any economic boom or downturn.

Livingston What makes you the best person for the job?

I have a long history of experience in my community and with the city.

I have volunteered on my homeowners’ association board, parent-teacher-community organization (PTCO) boards, the Centennial Council of Neighborhoods board and city committees and was elected to help write the city’s home rule charter.

If elected, what would your approach be to growth and development in the city?

City councilmembers must work together to manage growth. They also need to continue the dialog with developers, property owners and others that propose new develop-

ment in our city. Until city council is presented with a specific plan, it is difficult to comment on such a broad topic as growth and development. City council must work within their own policies, procedures, guiding documents and the law to approve or deny growth and development.

Centennial has managed to stay debtfree for many years. What can be done to manage or prevent potential budget deficits in the future?

City council is required by state law to have a balanced budget each year. City council carefully goes through a very detailed budget planning process each year to project revenue and then guide city contracts and services. To continue to be debt-free, city council will need to continue this careful budget planning process each year.

What else do you want voters to know about you and your approach to city governance?

I like that our city has an innovative approach to how we run our city. I would like to continue that approach with an open mind to new ideas and conversations with citizens, developers and business owners.

School safety and security is a serious issue and a high concern in our community. LPS has an award-winning security team that works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, a sophisticated security system and strong partnerships with local law enforcement.

While LPS is doing a lot of things right when it comes to security, there is always room for growth and improvement. The best way to ensure safety and security is to create a safe culture and climate. Students at every age should be aware of and comfortable using the safety and security measures that are available.

Why are you seeking this office?

Serving on the school board is how I use my 20 years of experience working as an education researcher to support my community.

I have made positive contributions over the past four years and grown as a board member. I hope to continue Reichardt contributing for the next four years.

What makes you the best person for the job?

My four years of board experience taught me a lot about the district and role of a board member. I bring 20 years of experience studying what works in education and have two children currently in LPS. Prior my board service, I volunteered in the district for seven years.

What, if anything, should be done to enhance security at district schools?

Improvement of student safety and security has been a constant focus of the board over the past four years.

We have increased our investments in security technology, in our awardwinning security team, and enhanced our partnerships with the cities of Centennial and Littleton to support the police officers in our secondary schools and patrols of our elementary schools. Possible future areas of work are new technologies identify students and staff as well as control school access and/or clear backpacks to reduce opportunities to hide weapons.

What, if anything, should be done to better address the mental health needs of district students?

Student and staff mental health is a big issue in LPS. There is an entire department as well as counselors and psychologists at each school dedicated to supporting our students. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be enough. I’d like to see more partnership with families, places of worship, clubs and other places where staff and students can link up with adults and peers for support, encouragement and coping tools.

What, if anything, should be done to better address the mental health needs of district students?

Mental health is also an issue that must be a focus and a priority for the district, and directly ties into school safety. Since 2013, the district has invested an additional $800,000 per year to improve mental health services for students. Our mental health team continues to evaluate the system and make improvements where needed. More funding is the most important improvement that can be made for mental health services overall, which would provide access to more programs and services that can enhance the abilities of the district to address the mental health needs of its students.

What, if anything, should be done to better address the mental health needs of district students?

Children’s mental health needs are an on-going challenge for our community and nation. The National Academy recently released the Vibrant and Healthy Kids report that describes the heighted risk for mental health problems in high-achieving schools. Over the past four years we have changed start times to improve student well-being, implemented innovative programs to help students access mental health services, and school-based programs to help students connect with each other and adults. The work continues. LPS has invited an outside researcher learn more about student suicide and the Board is developing a process learn more about school engagement challenges.

What, if anything, should be done to enhance security at district schools?

LPS must commit to the recommendations that came from the joint arbitration agreement with the family of Claire Davis following the shooting at Arapahoe High School. Other enhancements at may come from recommendations from the Legislature’s School Safety Committee, which called on me to testify at their first convening in July.

We can only best serve the mental health needs of our students if our professionals have proper tools, training and support. If we provide educators a livable salary, reasonable class sizes, appropriate planning time, and the tools and training they need, they will be better positioned to spot students in need of counseling or other mental health services.

Yes or no on DD: Arguments for and against Measure asks to legalize, tax sports betting to fund water projects

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As people continue to move to Colorado in droves, one consequence of population growth is often overlooked: the water Coloradans consume.

That’s why Proposition DD this November asks voters to legalize sports betting and allow the state to tax it to send millions of dollars to projects that would manage Colorado’s water supply.

Opponents, though, worry that legal-

izing sports betting online, in particular, could lead to many Coloradans losing money with the tap of a button on a smartphone.

Here’s a look at how legal sports betting would work, how it could help Colorado’s strained water landscape and what the arguments are on both sides.

What would DD legalize?

By passing DD, voters would allow sports betting of any amount by people 21 or older starting in May, including online, or on mobile sports betting platforms operated by Colorado casinos.

If voters in Black Hawk, Central City or Cripple Creek approve a separate ballot question to legalize sports

betting in their cities, casinos could also offer in-person sports betting, according to the 2019 state ballot information booklet, or “blue book.”

Where would the money go?

Under DD, the state could collect up to $29 million per year in sports betting revenue. Colorado would do that through a 10% tax on casinos’ net sports betting proceeds.

The vast majority of the money — $27 million each year — would go toward carrying out Colorado’s Water Plan. Projects under that plan could tackle issues such as water storage and supply, conservation and land use, agriculture, the environment, and SEE MEASURE, P24

For the past four years, I have endeavored to make city government good for all people … I am committed to serving our city and our residents selflessly, with integrity and dedication. I want voters to know that by supporting me, I will keep listening and acting on their concerns.

think it is important that we build consensus with city planning, community members, business leaders and developers to ensure all voices are heard as we implement the strategic goals for the future.

Centennial has managed to stay debt-free for many years. What can be done to manage or prevent potential budget deficits in the future?

The current operational strategy of handling almost all social services (police, fire, roads, maintenance, etc.) as external contracts allows Centennial to stay fiscally lean. We can scale our expenditures as the budget increases or shrinks base on yearly fluctuations.

Rather than keeping a large city government, we can scale our contracts as we see fit to control costs. The other aspect the city has is the potential for increased sales tax revenue from the redevelopment of existing sites that would be considered underutilized.

These sites offer the potential to maximize the public use and utility.

What else do you want voters to know about you and your approach to city governance?

I have come to appreciate that my perspective and experience, while extensive and beneficial to the city, pales in comparison to the benefits I can provide as part of a larger voice.

My goal is to listen, learn and contribute through my voice, or those of my fellow citizens.

Centennial’s economy and broaden our tax base.

Centennial has managed to stay debtfree for many years. What can be done to manage or prevent potential budget deficits in the future?

Centennial lives within its means while investing for the future. Centennial’s Strategic Plan, in part, focuses on economic vitality and fiscal responsibility. Centennial’s budget strategy is like a household budget.

Households pay bills and save for the future. Likewise, Centennial budgets tax revenue for future capital projects. Centennial also funds a rainy-day or reserve fund of at least 25% of annual expenditures. The reserve fund supports city services if economic slowdowns, natural disasters or other unexpected events reduce available revenue or a project requires special funding. Centennial’s conservative budgeting approach prevents potential budget deficits.

What else do you want voters to know about you and your approach to city governance?

First, the South Metro Denver Realtor Association, with over 4,000 members, has endorsed me for Centennial City Council. Secondly, good relationships depend on effective communication. I will establish two-way lines of effective communication with residents as part of my effort to keep Centennial a great place to live.

Centennial has managed to stay debt-free for many years. What can be done to manage or prevent potential budget deficits in the future?

As a small-business owner and current president of the Cherry Knolls Improvement Association, I understand the importance of fiscal responsibility and ensuring our resources are used wisely while moving the city forward. I understand the importance of good budgeting, exploring options and making difficult decisions to ensure we stay within our financial targets.

What else do you want voters to know about you and your approach to city governance?

The people with whom I have worked side-by-side within different volunteer roles would agree that I am a strong leader who brings integrity and dedication to every position I’ve held. I’m a good listener who is willing consider various positions of an issue and advocate for our community.

Yes or no on CC: Arguments for and against Ballot question asks whether state can keep tax money that goes above TABOR limits

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The most controversial choice on voters’ ballots this November may not be over a politician — it could be over Proposition CC. That’s a measure that asks Colorado voters to allow the state government to keep tax revenue that it currently must give back to taxpayers on an annual basis.

Proponents say it’s a small start to catching Colorado’s budget up from dire shortfalls in funding for education and roads and bridges. But opponents say taxpayers can’t be sure the money will be spent the way it’s promised.

Here’s a breakdown of what Prop CC does, the arguments for and against it, and how it relates to TABOR, one of Colorado’s most beloved — and infamous — laws.

What is TABOR? Colorado voters in 1992 passed the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, which limits the amount of money that the state government can collect and spend, or save, each year.

The limit is adjusted each year based on inflation, population growth, and voter-approved changes to the limit, according to the 2019 state ballot information booklet, or “blue book.” TABOR is an amendment to the Colorado Constitution.

Currently, about one-third of the money Colorado collects is subject to the limit, including most taxes and some fees. The other two-thirds of state funds includes money from voter-approved tax increases, government-owned businesses and the federal government.

Under TABOR, money collected above the limit must be refunded to taxpayers.

Part of the money returns to people in property tax benefits from local governments, and part of it comes back through state income tax returns.

How much is at stake?

Proposition CC would eliminate future TABOR refunds and instead use that money for K-12 education, higher education and transportation projects.

Just how much money the refunds are worth is unclear. The Legislative Council Staff — the state Legislature’s nonpartisan research arm — estimates TABOR refunds would total $542 million from fiscal year 2019 to 2022. The Governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting put the figure at $1.7 billion for the same time period. Earlier this year, the Legislative Council estimated a $652 million refund from fiscal year 2019 to 2021 alone.

What this means for individual

taxpayers is that, depending on their yearly income, a TABOR refund in one year could be as low as $20 or as high as $79. Joint filers would get twice as much.

If the governor’s office’s higher projections hold, on average, individuals’ one-year refunds could be about $125, and joint filers could get $323, for 2022-23.

Where would it all go?

If Proposition CC passes and TABOR refunds cease, the money would be split into equal thirds for public schools, higher education and transportation projects.

Public schools would receive money on a per-pupil basis — depending on how many students they have — and only for non-recurring expenses, meaning the money can’t go to teacher salaries. It could go to initiatives to improve teacher training, books and technology for students, and other assistance to teachers.

Transportation money would be split 60% to the State Highway Fund, 22% to counties and 18% to municipalities.

Of the State Highway Fund share, no more than 85% could be spent for highway-related projects, and at least 15% would go to transit-related projects.

Higher education spending appears not to be limited to specific criteria, based on the text of state House Bill 19-1258, the technical language related to Proposition CC that goes into effect if it succeeds.

For or against Prop CC supporters say that despite Colorado’s high ranking for median household income, it ranks in the bottom third of states in per-student public spending on K-12 education and lags behind in higher education, too.

Colorado road quality continues to drop while the costs of improvements increase, they say.

Opponents say there’s nothing stopping the Legislature from changing Prop CC’s one-third-split formula or replacing current funds with the new Prop CC funds and moving the current money to other matters. Supporters argue that because Prop CC requires an annual audit of how the money is spent, voters can scrutinize where it ends up, but opponents are skeptical.

Detractors, such as the No on CC Coalition, also emphasize the proposition can’t benefit teacher salaries. Supporters, such as the CC Yes! campaign, say the money could go to help teachers pay student loans, toward bonuses and to incentives to work in rural districts.

Perhaps the most philosophical argument is whether Prop CC is the first step toward dismantling TABOR as a whole — opponents characterize it as a slippery slope. Supporters note that Prop CC wouldn’t change citizens’ right to vote on any new state taxes and tax rate increases, which is arguably the core of TABOR’s spirit.

Opponents argue it’s the first blank SEE QUESTION, P17

Ballot Issue 1A: Jail safety outweighs some legitimate concerns

D

eputies assaulted by inmates more frequently than ever before.

Electrical systems, walls, floors and plumbing stressed and strained to the limits.

Inmates living three to a cell.

Little room to provide inmates with needed treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues, leaving them at heightened risk of reoffending when released back into the community.

Those are just some of the reasons Arapahoe County officials say a new jail is needed to replace a 33-year-old facility originally built to house 386 inmates. Today, the Arapahoe County jail on South Potomac Street near Centennial Airport routinely holds more than 1,100 inmates. The jail — with the ability today to accommodate 1,458 inmates following a 2002 expansion — regularly brushes up against the 80% capacity recommendation by the National Institute of Corrections.

“The stress on everyone is building,” Sheriff Tyler Brown said. “It’s like a pressure cooker.”

Ballot Issue 1A asks voters to provide the funding for this $465 million undertaking. If approved, the measure would raise the property tax levy by 3.4 mills.

The owner of a $380,000 home would pay an additional $5.66 a month, or about $68 a year. Residents would still have the lowest mill levy in the metro

OUR VIEW area, according to the county.

The majority of the money — roughly $399 million, according to county documents — would go toward design and construction of the new facility. But officials say they are also committed to providing programs that address mental health and substance abuse, and providing programs to keep nonviolent and first-time offenders out of jail. A citizens oversight committee would keep watch over the spending.

We encourage you to vote yes on this ballot question.

But just as county commissioners and the sheriff have made a strong case that the facility needs to be replaced, opponents have made salient points against building a new jail.

A coalition was formed to oppose the measure in early October, and includes the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, as well as other groups that work to promote civil rights.

The coalition says roughly twothirds of inmates in the jail have not been convicted of a crime, but rather are in a pre-trial phase and cannot afford bond. Lowering or eliminating bond for low-level offenders and expanding the court schedule from five to six or seven days a week would

Vote to forgo a relatively small tax refund and allow the state to spend that money on much-needed programs for K-12 education, higher education and transportation in Colorado.

Conceivably, forever.

It’s primarily the permanency of Proposition CC — along with a few other concerns — that has us recommending you vote no on this measure.

CC asks voters to allow the state to keep money collected above the limit established by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, commonly called TABOR. That amount is estimated to be $310 million during the 2020-21 budget year and $342 million the following year, ac-

OUR VIEW cording to an analysis by the General Assembly’s Legislative Council Staff.

That would mean on 2020 and 2021 tax returns a typical single filer would give up a refund ranging from $26 to $90.

vastly reduce the jail population, members say.

The group also maintains that the nearly half a billion dollars that would go toward a new jail would be better spent on community-based services and programs for those with mental health and addiction issues in an effort to keep people out of jail in the first place.

Addressing the criminal code by reducing the number of offenses punishable by incarceration has also been suggested.

No doubt, the entire criminal justice system could use some help when it comes to addressing the crisis of offenders who struggle with mental illness, substance abuse and poverty.

We believe the 1A opposition’s arguments should resonate over the long haul and across the broader landscape of the state and nation — but we also believe those arguments are not reasons to deny the county a new jail.

The need to replace the jail is real and there may not be a better time for it. County officials fear the price tag of a new jail will only go up. Meanwhile, the cramped conditions will continue to take their toll until something is done.

The new facility would come with 1,612 beds, 154 more than the current jail. It would also allow for larger kitchen and laundry facilities and a

bigger book-and-release center. Those portions of the jail are landlocked by the current facility’s housing units and have not been expanded — nor can they be.

With so many people in such a confined space, tension and violence have been on the rise, the sheriff says.

A jail should be a safe place, for deputies and for inmates. A larger facility would certainly help mitigate safety concerns.

But equally important, a jail plays a role in the safety of the community at large by providing proper treatment and educational opportunities, in an effort to keep inmates from reoffending. We would have liked to have seen a more detailed plan for how this will be accomplished.

While mental health and substance abuse programs are included in the ballot language, no specific dollar amounts are tied to these initiatives.

If 1A passes, it’s going to be up to all of us to keep an eye on how this money — your money — is spent and demand that dollars go to programs and treatment geared toward helping inmates heal and become productive members of society.

Ballot Issue 1A is not perfect. The question we must ask ourselves, however, is this: Does Arapahoe County need a new jail?

Yes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote for McCrary and Reichardt Lindley McCrary and Robert Reichardt were the two most prepared and knowledgeable candidates at the League of Women Voters recent forums.

After watching them both nights, they consistently put the students first in their conversations. Lindley and Robert recognized that their role as a governing board is to have clear policies and to be informed by staff of the accomplishments and the challenges while listening closely to the community.

The volunteer service they have both provided on various committees at the school and district levels has enriched their knowledge and understanding of the broad and diverse spectrum of Littleton Public Schools. They both recognized that the next few years will be very exciting and busy times as the district continues with the

ongoing bond work, addressing the continued funding shortfalls from the state and closing achievement gaps within the district.

I believe they will handle these challenges thoughtfully, will listen to the community and stay focused on making students the center in these decisions. I encourage you to vote for them as a former board member myself.

Show me the gore, I’ll show you the door

or unknown reasons, I have never wanted to enter the rhythm of a Black Sabbath concert, or walk down the mall with fake blood on my face, or a fake severed head under my arm.

Maybe you can tell me where the entertainment is in pretend zombies and vampires, and in haunted houses dripping with viscera.

Fangs for the memories?

Death has fascinated the living: forever.

The Egyptians spent their lives preparing their royalty for death. More specifically, afterlife. And they have provided us with everlasting memorials, and archaeologists with everlasting employment.

Author (“Peter Pan”) J. M. Barrie said, “To die will be an awfully big adventure.”

That’s one way to look at it. However, I have no plans to precede death with faked death, via violent video games, or action films, or staggering through Douglas County looking like I survived a shooting.

I admit I was a fan of Universal’s 1930s horror films, especially “Frankenstein,” “The Wolfman,” and “The

I

Mummy.”

Additionally, “The Invisible Man,” directed by James Whale (the subject of 1998’s “God and Monsters”), while not QUIET exactly a horror film, DESPERATION is close to one, and holds up to this day as an example of exceptional filmmaking.

For part of the film, actor Claude Rains resembles a mummy.

Those films, while depicting violence and death, were bloodCraig Marshall less.

Along the way, films Smith changed along with everything else.

Actual deaths have been shown on television, and are readily available online.

“Simulated Deaths” is director Quentin Tarantino’s middle name, but he wasn’t the first.

Director Sam Peckinpah, and others, choreographed death and made it look fashionable.

When I was in college, I heard about a band named Alice Cooper. A band

comprised of young men named after a female would have been enough to counter the Beach Boys, for example, but when I heard their live act (as it were) glamorized death, I veered away from them.

It turned out “Alice” was a scrawny kid from a Phoenix suburb who became a pretty good golfer, and not much of a threat to the women and children of America.

Nevertheless, I don’t comprehend the attraction.

I am not a deep-dish philosopher, but if I were one, perhaps I would say that we sometimes offset the fear of death or the reality of death with things like “Day of the Dead” and zombie crawls.

Perhaps there is a factory-installed gene we share that makes us want to create and watch and play violent video games. I just wasn’t given one.

There have been discussions for years about the relationship, if any, between real-life horrors and shock films that

feature exceptionally realistic decapitations, severed arms and legs, and buckets of blood.

The thought of being the director of what are called “splatter films” in the aftermath of something like the Las Vegas mass shooting would be untenable to me.

If there were no real-life instances of horror perhaps I would have a better understanding.

When I hear about two children being submerged in an oil tank by their father, I am not tempted by a matinee of anything similar.

Many others can find a significant difference between actual gore and staged gore. Not me.

Finding the value in our values

f you have never taken the time to identify or define what your values are, WINNING or what your belief system WORDS is, don’t sweat it because you are not alone.

As a matter of fact, most people just assume they know what their values are — they know what belief system they Michael Norton follow to make decisions in life and in business.

Recently I found myself going through this exercise again with a few people whom I coach, and a company I work with. We talked about what their mission was, we discussed and strategized on their vision, and when it came to values, well, they either struggled a little bit or came up with the most common values that almost everyone starts out with; honesty, integrity, continuous learning, engagement, open communication, etc.

Here is why they struggle or come up with those common values: They get the order wrong. What happens most times is that individuals and organizations typically start out with trying to define their mission, vision, and values. And it’s usually attempted in that order. Maybe they begin with a mission statement or a vision statement. And once they have completed those, then they try and come up with the values that best represent them or their company, or the values they hope to be recognized by as a person or organization.

My suggestion is always to reverse

the order. If we know what we value most at work and in life, we can begin to place a value on that. And once we truly know what it is that we value, and the foundation of our belief system, we can then create the vision for how we can live out those values personally and professionally.

And now that we know the values that drive us, and what we see as our vision and opportunities ahead of us, we can now determine our mission and how we can be the best person we can possibly be, providing the best service to others we can possibly provide, and be better positioned to live out our mission and purpose.

It starts with valuing our values.

What currency do we place on our values? Where are we willing to compromise on our beliefs? If we are not rooted in our values, how can we even attempt a mission, mission statement, or vision for our lives or for our company? Will we compromise our values for money? Will we discount our belief system to work at a company where we know our values are not aligned? Will we concede on what fundamentally drives our company in order to hire someone who is not a fit culturally or aligned with our values? Too often, we all, or at least most of us, make this mistake.

Why does this happen? Why do we make this mistake? Because we assume that we know what our values are — I mean doesn’t everyone? Of course we think we do. And maybe we even think that we ourselves live and work by the virtues we respect the most. But until we take the time to write them down, identify them, SEE NORTON, P22

Events are among many happening around Denver metro area

eaves are changing colors and falling from trees; the cool, crisp fall air can be felt in the morning; and costume shops are starting to pop up. October is here.

There are plenty of ways to celebrate fall and Halloween across the Denver metro area. Here are some ideas for how to get out of the of the house and get festive through the rest of the month.

Contact: www.cityofwestminster. us/HalloweenHarvestFestival The scoop: Westminster’s Halloween Harvest Festival will feature trick-or-treating, live music, food trucks, jumping castles, arts and crafts, a barbecue competition, a pumpkin patch and more. The event will feature a hot-air balloon glow, paying homage to the old Westminster Mall.

“It’s different than your typical fall festival, because we have different aspects with it,” said Lauren Gladu, marketing analyst for the City of Westminster.

there will be a Halloween pet costume contest. Event organizers recommend a $5 donation for the contest to benefit the Foothills Animal Shelter. Live music will also be at the event.

“It’s a blast. People really get into (the pet costume contest), and it goes to a good cause,” said Janelle Hinton, marketing director for Belmar.

Families also get an early start (on the holiday),” said Josh Rivero, president of the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club of Parker.

Red predominates in gallery exhibit Color is theme that ties together works on display

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There are certainly many ways of seeing, envisioning, interpreting the primary color red …

“Code Red” is the Littleton Fine Arts Guild’s latest exhibit, running through Nov. 10 at the historic red Depot Art Gallery.

The challenge was: “Red paintings … or something you’re passionate about …” Responses are imaginative and varied, including the “People’s Choice,” chosen during the opening reception: “Super Worm Equinox Moon,” by photographer Bill Knoll.

Many readers will recall heading outside to view that recent red moon …

The juror for this interesting new exhibit of paintings, photographs and mixed media was Jo Anne Nelson, who exhibits a large, red, mixed media piece, “A place on the side.”

She wrote: “… I encourage each indi-

IF YOU GO “Code Red” runs through Nov. 10, followed by some individual members’ “Two Night Stand.” Then, holiday shopping begins in earnest with the opening of the “Holiday Art and Gift Market” at the Depot, 2069 W. Powers Ave., downtown Littleton.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays. 303795-0781. Admission is free. vidual to create a place where there is only creative thought and peace.” She has exhibited her art in Parker and elsewhere.

The color red does indeed jump out at a viewer as one’s eyes circle the gallery: from a few bright pottery pieces to Christopher Schrank’s subtle, textured mixed-media panel, with a small red block at lower right (honorable mention), to Jeff Velarde’s large, realistic oil painting, “20th and Blake,” showing fans pouring into the red brick Coors Field (second place).

City scenes took top spots: First place was awarded to Sharon Wink for her subtle, expertly painted oil,

“Poppies Delight” by Rita Campbell, which took third place in the “Code Red” show at the Depot Art Gallery. COURTESY PHOTO “Venice,” which includes soft reds and oranges in her depiction of historic houses along a Venetian canal, with water glistening around them.

Nelson chose Jeff Velarde’s large oil “Beneath the Neon” as best of

show. It depicts a lone figure with a cane, shielded from rain under a flashy theater marquee, presumably in some American city, while others walk past on wet, reflective sidewalks. Again, painting skill is evident, as well as storytelling skill.

Is he meeting someone? On the way home? Does he have a home? Where has he been? You can smell the soaked pavement.

On another theme, third place went to Rita Campbell’s cheerful red, orange, pink “Poppy Delight” and an honorable mention to Rita Campbell’s watercolor “Poppies Aglow.”

The visitor might want to start some early holiday shopping … New member Linda Burch, who joined the guild recently — “four days after moving from Arizona” — displays some sparkly jewelry and beaded bags. Glass and pottery pieces beckon, and bright baskets, woven from fabric, are on the front table near the entrance. Bobbi Shupe’s Treasure Box and gleaming fused glass bowls

by S. Van Der Kamp are appealing — as well as Brian Serff ’s small paintings, “Venice” and “Myknos.”

New works coming to area art gallery

ittleton artists Tatiana Dowell and Michelle Lamb will exhibit new work opening from 6 to 10 p.m. on Oct. 25 at CORE New Art Space, in 40 West, at 6851 W. Colfax Ave., Lakewood.

and state and local highway and transit projects. The Legislative Council Staff ’s analysis estimates each segment would receive $103 million in 2020-21 and $114 million in 2021-22. An independent financial audit of the spending would be conducted each year.

In the spring, the state Legislature referred CC to the ballot, having garnered the vote of only one Republican — state Sen. Kevin Priola, of Adams County — along the way.

As can be expected when TABOR is involved, CC has been politically divisive. Some Republicans contend the measure is intended to test the waters for future tax increases and a possible push to repeal TABOR, which has been in force since it was approved by voters in 1992. Democrats insist that’s not the case, that this measure is actually in the spirit of TABOR in

that it lets voters decide what will be done with their tax money.

For the sake of this argument, we’ll focus on the more-narrow scope of what this ballot question is asking, rather than the larger TABOR picture.

Prop CC is indeed addressing crucial funding concerns. While Colorado’s economy is booming and the annual state budget is in the tens of billions of dollars, this is amid the backdrop of explosive population growth. About 5.7 million people now call the state home, a roughly 13 percent increase since the 2010 Census.

That certainly has put a strain on the state’s transportation infrastructure and public education system.

We don’t buy the argument that state leaders are simply mismanaging the money they already have at their disposal. The state must find ways to increase revenue, particularly to fund segments like education and roads.

But what CC asks for from voters is something of a leap of faith.

The proposition mandates that public schools would receive money on a per-pupil basis and that the funds can only be used for nonrecurring expenses. The bill that established the funding allocation formula for CC, House Bill 19-1258, mentions things like books, technology and “initiatives that help attract and retain educators” — those could be bonuses, for example. Raises for teachers, however, are excluded, since they are recurring expenses. In a state where teacher pay is sorely lagging, that can be seen as a big omission.

On the transportation front, according to HB 19-1258’s fiscal note, 60% of the money would go to the State Highway Fund “for use for the state’s strategic transportation project investment program”; 22% to counties for projects; and 18% to municipalities for projects. No doubt this money would be helpful to an extent, but we’d like to see it tied to more specific projects. After the money is divvied up, we’re not sure what would get done — or if the amount of money

available would be enough to get much done at all.

What about higher education?

Little information is available on how this one-third would be spent.

Perhaps most concerning, though, is that CC doesn’t sunset. We’d rather see a more focused measure, outlining very specific ways your tax money would be spent over a specified period of time, perhaps three to five years.

There’s a risk that if CC passes, education and transportation will be thought to have been “taken care of,” so to speak, by lawmakers and voters.

But those segments are in need of billions of dollars in the coming years, not speculative infusions of money that fluctuate with the economic performance of the state.

The way we see it, a vote of no on CC isn’t saying the need doesn’t exist.

It’s saying the need is so important it demands a more thorough, wellthought-out approach.

And that’s something the Legislature can work on next year. tax “homestead” exemption for seniors and a disabled veteran exemption, which are first funded by refunds from TABOR surpluses.

Proposition CC is not expected to affect the exemption amounts available to these taxpayers, according to the Legislative Council Staff.

Since 1992, Colorado has had revenue above the TABOR limit in nine of 26 budget years.

Haunted Mansion offers frightful nights

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

IF YOU GO

Allison Hefner’s heart was still pounding a couple minutes after she left the Haunted Mansion at the Reinke Bros. Halloween superstore in downtown Littleton on Oct. 11.

“This was the first haunted house I’ve ever been to,” Hefner said. “It was incredible — the anticipation, not knowing what was coming next.

Wow.” The rest of the spooky emporium is an experience in itself, jammed with costumes, magic tricks, and performers like magician Richard Nakata and Littleton staples the Dave Frisk Band, who will perform many evenings until Halloween.

The haunted house spans dozens of elaborately decorated rooms, featuring a slew of illusions and special

“It’s not about blood and guts,” said Greg Reinke, the store’s owner. “It’s about fun. We’ll spook you, but you’ll laugh, too.”

Third, the initiative may run the messages on TV, Padilla added.

Padilla, who lives near Cherry Creek High School, is the former director of housing in the Denver Office of Economic Development.

He’s now in a role that’s brand new for the City of Denver: suicide prevention administrator. The city is preparing to analyze and improve its efforts to support mental health, and as part of that, Padilla started a “community listening sessions” program. The first

study she conducted in a city she identified by the pseudonym “Poplar Grove.”

After a spate of youth suicides, Mueller’s research found youth cited extreme pressure to succeed in academics and athletics as stressors. The problem was exacerbated, Mueller found, by a stigma against mental health care and openly discussing trauma.

Padilla’s hoping for another session by the end of the year, and one with teen speakers, like the teens and young adults at the PSA launch.

Alexis McCowan, a student at the University of Northern Colorado, told the Oct. 8 crowd that her last suicide attempt was in 2017.

“And it will be my last, and it has been my last,” McCowan said. “I would love to use this messaging to reach other teens so that they’ll also be able to say that.”

“There is always,” McCowan said, “a future after the pain.”

SeaQuest hopes to turn page after ‘mistakes’ Employee of aquarium found not guilty of animal cruelty

SeaQuest Littleton general manager David Slater surveys a “touch tank” at the interactive aquarium in Southwest Plaza mall in Jefferson County on Oct. 4.

Slater, who took over the controversial aquarium a year ago, said he hopes to rebuild SeaQuest’s reputation after numerous animal welfare violations.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ashleigh Belfiore burst into tears of relief as the judge read the jury’s verdict: not guilty of misdemeanor animal cruelty.

Belfiore, 28, stood accused of abusing and neglecting a sloth under her care at SeaQuest, an “interactive aquarium” at Southwest Plaza shopping mall in south Jefferson County. A jury of six acquitted her on Oct 1.

The sloth, named Flash, suffered two burns on a heat lamp in its enclosure about a month apart in late 2018, according to testimony from investigators from Jefferson County Animal Control and the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife.

In a two-day trial, prosecutors alleged that Belfiore — who still works as a manager for SeaQuest — had misled investigators about when the burns occurred and about whether a veterinarian had been notified.

Dr. Jena Questen, who runs Aspen Park Veterinary Hospital in Conifer and is SeaQuest’s contracted veterinarian, testified in the trial that she wasn’t alarmed that she wasn’t contacted after Flash was burned. Bel-

DAVID GILBERT

fiore’s response to the sloth’s injuries — treating Flash’s burns with honey, coconut oil and antibiotic cream — was appropriate, she said.

Questen said she trusts SeaQuest staff to make good decisions.

“I’m staking my reputation as a veterinarian on this,” Questen testified.

“I would not be affiliated with this organization in any way if I felt they were jeopardizing the health or safety of animals.”

Mistakes were made David Slater, SeaQuest Littleton’s general manager, said he hopes Belfiore’s acquittal is a turning point for the combination aquarium and zoo.

“We made mistakes,” Slater said.

“I’m trying to own up to them. We’ve put in processes and procedures to

prevent those things from happening again. I’d like to move on.”

SeaQuest, part of a nationwide chain, offers visitors an interactive experience with animals. Guests can feed iguanas and tropical birds, and even go snorkeling with stingrays.

The facility is home to 250 species, Slater said — many donated by locals who could no longer care for them — spread across 45 exhibits.

But almost as soon as the facility opened in spring 2018, it drew controversy and condemnation.

The company failed to obtain necessary permits to keep and show exotic animals, according to the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife, or CPW. Investigators found cages illegally overcrowded with birds. Staff failed to report animal deaths and

visitor injuries. One manager was found to be keeping a two-toed sloth and two capybaras in her house.

The Colorado Department of Agriculture issued a cease-and-desist order to the facility in summer 2018, demanding the number of birds be reduced. A local news station later found a teenage employee selling some of the birds from the back of a van in a parking lot.

SeaQuest fired the facility’s general manager and assistant manager in August 2018, Slater said, and brought him and Belfiore on board.

Permit revoked Two days after he started, according to a CPW investigation, the facility’s general manager Slater turned over incident reports for numerous earlier injuries that had not previously been reported to state officials as required.

“My hope was to do the right thing and clear everything up,” Slater said.

Instead, after Flash received burns from the heat lamp in October and November, CPW charged Belfiore with animal cruelty. At a hearing in early 2019, CPW revoked SeaQuest’s permit to show exotic animals, citing numerous violations.

SeaQuest was forced to remove numerous species, including snakes, otters, capybaras, and Flash the sloth.

Flash now lives at SeaQuest’s Minnesota location, where visitors can pay SEE SEAQUEST, P39

of our facilities and trails, and support South Suburban’s mission to offer affordable healthy recreation options for children, youth, adults and seniors. If approved, 7A will not increase district tax revenues but will ensure that previously voter approved tax funding for the district does not decrease in the future.

South Suburban delivers high quality recreation opportunities for our residents by careful planning and budgeting. Revenue stability is critical to ensuring this continued high quality level of service and 7A provides that necessary stability. In the current structure, due to residential assessment rate declines, the district has lost more than $1.8 million of voter-approved property tax revenues over the last four years and is estimated that the losses will only increase for the foreseeable future.

By voting yes on 7A, property tax revenues previously approved by the voters will remain constant and allow South Suburban to continue to provide best-in-class recreational opportunities for our district residents.

me in voting yes on Referred Ballot Measure 1A. Grayson Robinson, retired Arapahoe County sheriff Aurora

Vote yes on 1A The current members of the Board of Arapahoe County Commissioners are to be commended for their research, evaluation and unanimous (bipartisan) support of the ballot measure that will enhance the public safety of Arapahoe County. Ballot Measure 1A, a long-term investment in public safety, will ensure the safety of sheriff ’s deputies, will reduce unsafe conditions caused by overcrowding of inmate populations and will provide space for critical inmate programs that will reduce recidivism, address mental health concerns and provide much needed education/job training opportunities.

More than 40% of the Arapahoe County inmate population suffers from a variety of serious mental health challenges that continue to contribute to their criminal behavior; mental health conditions that are rarely identified or addressed until an individual comes to the attention of the criminal justice system. Ballot Measure 1A is a well-considered, responsible and reasonable effort to effectively and efficiently resolve the existing public safety challenges related to the aging, deteriorating and ineffective detentions facility.

Please support the safety of your deputy sheriffs and the public safety of Arapahoe County. Please join

Vote for Phelps Our townhome community sits right across the street from The Streets at Southglenn mall. As a volunteer, Ron has given us a voice in the redevelopment plans calling for up to 1,600 additional apartments to be built where Sears and Macy’s now reside. On his own time, he has organized and led meetings to represent the neighborhoods and District 1’s interests in discussions with the developers and owners; and kept us apprised of updates at every turn. We know that Ron will fight to protect and preserve our neighborhood’s quality of life. In getting to know Ron, we’ve learned that he has been an active volunteer in the Centennial community ever since arriving here in 2003. He has served on several city and county citizen boards/committees and as a sheriff ’s office victim advocate.

Join me and support a candidate who is a proven asset to our community. Vote for Ron Phelps!

our city. Most people comment that they want to see Centennial return to its roots of limited government.

This is what we were all promised when Centennial was incorporated.

That’s what Ron stands for — a government that focuses on providing services we need like maintaining our roads and public safety and less on regulations that would ban parking recreational vehicles in residential neighborhoods. Ron’s opponent, Candace Moon, in fact sponsored the latest discussion on banning recreation vehicles, which does more to divide us as a community then bring us together.

In one of her greater ironies, Councilmember Moon has been critical of Ron for vacating his council seat in 2010 after a hardfought election in 2009 where Ron beat her husband, Vorry. Ron had to move out of state for work after he lost his job and Vorry Moon was appointed to fill his council seat. Most of us would be gracious under these circumstances. Not Councilmember Moon. For her, it’s just another opportunity to attack a neighbor.

Like many of my friends and neighbors, I’ve woken up one day without a job and wondered how I was going to pay the mortgage and support my family. We need people in leadership like Ron that understand the ups and downs of life.

I’m glad Ron is back and running for city council! I’m proud to walk for him and support him. I hope you’ll join me in voting for Ron Phelps!

MEASURE FROM PAGE 9

recreation. State law outlines those types of projects that can be funded.

The Colorado Water Conservation Board, whose members are appointed by the governor, oversees the implementation of the plan and approves water project grants.

Interstate water compacts and water obligations outlined in federal law could also be funded with Prop DD revenue.

A compact is an agreement between two or more states to establish how the water of an interstate river will be shared between users in different states.

Gambling addiction, casino area impacts A small portion of Prop DD money each year would go toward gambling addiction services: $130,000 divided up for a crisis hotline, along with prevention and treatment regarding gambling disorders.

A “hold harmless fund” of $1.7 million per year would give revenue to entities that receive tax revenue from traditional gambling and horse racing, such as casino cities and counties, community colleges, and the State Historical Fund. They could apply for funding if they can prove they lost money following the legalization of sports betting.

For or against Prop DD supporters say water is a scarce resource in Colorado and that demand will keep rising as population grows. Urban cities and agricultural communities alike face challenges if the state can’t meet its water needs, they say.

Supporters also say many Coloradans

currently bet on sporting events, but because it’s illegal, they use black-market bookies and websites. Legalizing sports betting would create consumer protections, ensuring that sports bettors receive their winnings and don’t fall victim to fraud or abuse, supporters say.

Opponents say Prop DD puts no limits on the amount a person can bet, enabling people to lose a lot of money with just the touch of a button online. Not enough of the revenue would go toward gambling addiction services to help people who are harmed by the legalization, opponents say.

They also say DD doesn’t provide enough detail on what water projects would be funded and that it doesn’t put up enough money to tackle Colorado’s water needs.

Opponents claim some projects may have unintended consequences for the environment and some communities.

Other bits to know Sports betting operators that contract with a casino would also pay the 10% tax.

Sports betting tax revenue might be lower during the first few years of implementation — the $29 million estimate is based on a “mature” sports betting market, according to the Legislative Council Staff, the state Legislature’s nonpartisan research arm.

An annual average of $16 million in revenue is expected during the first five fiscal years that sports betting is legal, according to the staff ’s analysis.

Prop DD restricts the types of bets allowed on college sporting events by prohibiting bets on individual performance statistics or events during the game.

Sports betting would not be allowed on high school sporting events or unsanctioned video game competitions, according to the blue book.

Arapahoe Soccer captain wants to make impact sophomore wins state golf crown STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Q&A with Ahram

Who’s your favorite athlete?

Kobe Bryant. Even though he’s a basketball player, it’s the work ethic I admire. For soccer, James Rodriguez, a Colombian player — I just really like his style.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

Shutting a team out and keeping possession … dictating the style of the game.

What’s your favorite class?

Student government.

It’s something I’ve been involved in for four years.

It’s definitely a thing that creates a lot of who I am as a person (in terms of) both leadership skills learned and how much I’ve learned of how much difference a person can make — how good it feels to help others and make difference in the community.

Smoky Hill midfielder Omar Ahram aims for engineering degree

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

N

aturally, Omar Ahram got into the family sport.

“My dad played a lot of soccer when he was younger,” said Ahram, whose brother also has played the sport.

Ahram has been kicking since around the time he was 7, and now, the team captain is capping off four years playing for Smoky Hill.

“One of my favorite things is the brotherhood I’ve created at Smoky Hill,”

Ahram said. “It’s something I value highly.”

Soon, he plans to be off to the University of Colorado-Boulder to study engineering, partly to stay close to home.

He’ll play for fun, but competitive soccer isn’t his goal.

For now, though, Ahram enjoys taking in one more season of tough opponents.

“I love to compete, and I think I grow as a person through relationships I build on the field,” Ahram said. “Going through the hardships of losing builds character — the triumph of winning creates a sense of joy.”

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He’s just a true team player — he does whatever it takes to help the team, on and off the field.’

Scott Gardner, Smoky Hill head soccer coach

What do like to do away from soccer and school?

I spend a lot of time with family — I’m very familyoriented. I love to play spikeball and basketball, two of my hobbies. Spikeball is similar to volleyball.

It’s growing; it’s getting big.

What’s something people seem not to know about soccer?

I think people don’t understand how important it is for each person to play their role for a team to be successful. It really is a thinking game, a communication game. A lot of split-second decisions.

What are your personal goals?

Hopefully, graduating CU Boulder with an engineering degree. One day, I hope to start my own firm in the engineering field, start a family and hopefully make some impact in the world.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Key stats | Ahram’s stats aren’t a prominent part of his game, but he’s “one of those team player workhorses,” coach Gardner said.

Will Kates helps lead Warriors to second place as a team

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Will Kates, a sophomore at Arapahoe, surprised the rest of the top high school boys golfers in the state by winning the State High School Boys Golf Championship, held Oct. 7-8 at Pinehurst Country Club in Denver.

Kates opened with a round of 71 and then solved the tricky greens and tough pin placements at the tree-lined Pinehurst course with a 4-under-par 66 during the final round on Oct. 8 to win the individual state title by six strokes.

He was one shot off the lead after the first round but quickly took the lead and never looked back.

“I just wanted to go out and play a solid round of golf,” said Kates. “I didn’t want to do anything crazy. I knew if I could shoot like low 70s, I would have a good chance of winning. There were a couple greens that were a little trickier than yesterday, but they were about the same, a difficult mix.

“I played really good, I made a lot of putts. I didn’t hit the ball any better than normal but I hit my wedges pretty good and my putting was amazing. I had a pretty good season but nothing like this. I’m real excited. It feels amazing to be a state champion.”

Kates and the final round’s second lowest scored of 71 by Matthew Wilkinson help Arapahoe rallied to finish as the state team runner-up, three strokes behind state champion Fairview. Max Zadvorny and Graham Dzengelewski each had a score of 77 on the final day in which only the three lowest scores are included for the team scoring.

“Last year, he was on the bottom half of our team,” said Arapahoe coach Harry Buckner, referring to Kates. “So he’s come a long way from last year.

“These are the best players in the state and he comes out and beats them by that many strokes. He played real steady all year as our No. 2 guy but he had never gone this (low).”

Buckner said Kates’ putting separated him from the other golfers in the field. At one stage during the final round, Kates had seven straight one-putt greens.

“He’s dedicated with very even temperament and nothing can shake him,” added the coach. “He had a couple tough shots during the final round. There was one that he had slap a shot over a tree.

He just said, coach `I’m going over the tree’. He went over the tree, sunk the putt and parred the hole.

Another situation where he got into some trouble and the same thing, He got it up on the green and knocked the putt in, and parred that hole.

“The difference in his game he was making putts He probably made seven or eight 10 foot putts.

He make one snake that had a 10-foot break in it. He made some great putts. I told you before, it’s all chipping and putting. If he wasn’t on the green, he was chipping and one putting. And when he was on the green, he had a few one putts.”

Highlands Ranch senior Tarek Salem, who tied for sixth place a

Lakewood junior Ryan Liao, fourth last season, tied for third with back-toback rounds of 72 for a 144 tworound total.

Wilkinson of Arapahoe was 10th and Charlie Flaxbeard of Cherry Creek tied for 11th at 149.

Besides Fairview (437) and Arapahoe (440) in the team standings, defending state champion Fossil Ridge was third (441), Highlands Ranch fourth (451), Regis Jesuit fifth (455), Rock Canyon seventh (469) and Valor Christian eighth (470).

National service agency opens new office The Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency for service and volunteering, has opened a Mountain Region office in downtown Denver.

As the nation’s top provider of grants to support service and volunteering, the Corporation for National and Community Service harnesses the energy and talents of its citizens to help communities address pressing challenges.

These service efforts include tutoring and mentoring children, responding to the opioid crisis or helping communities recover from disasters.

The Mountain Region office is one of eight new regional offices that will further these efforts by connecting communities with resources through the AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs. Its staff will assist national service applicants and grantees by providing training, technical assistance and

administrative oversight. In addition, they will promote the national days of service on MLK Day and Sept. 11.

The new office will serve seven states across the region: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. It is part of a first phase of regional office openings that also includes the Northeast Region office in Concord, N.H., and the North Central Region office in Kansas City, Missouri. Five more offices — in Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; Los Angeles; and Philadelphia — will open during the next year.

“I’m excited to be here as we open this new regional office,” Barbara Stewart, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, said in a news release. “We have been fortunate to assemble an incredibly talented group of people to serve the Mountain Region. I can’t wait to see the work they do to help our country meet its most-pressing needs.”

U.S. diet picture improves slightly, but still falls short

BY LINDSEY TANNER ASSOCIATED PRESS

Americans’ diets are a little less sweet and a little crunchier but there’s still too much sugar, white bread and arteryclogging fat, a study suggests.

Overall, the authors estimated there was a modest improvement over 16 years on the government’s healthy eating index, from estimated scores of 56 to 58. That’s hardly cause for celebration — 100 is the top score.

Diets are still too heavy on foods that can contribute to heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other prevalent U.S. health problems, said co-author Fang Fang Zhang, a nutrition researcher at Tufts University near Boston.

The study was published Sept. 24 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The results are from an analysis of U.S. government health surveys from 1999 to 2016 involving nearly 44,000 adults.
