‘Blue wave’ continues in Arapahoe County Democrats gained ground over the decade, flipped local seats this election

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the 2012 general election, large swaths of south Arapahoe County — mostly south of Quincy Avenue — voted for Republican Mitt Romney over then-President Barack Obama.

Long stretches of uninterrupted red showed on the county’s map of results.

Englewood, Sheridan and most of Aurora encompassed almost all of the non-rural Democratic wins.

The result was even redder in the 2014 U.S. Senate race, when Republican Cory Gardner bested Democrat Mark Udall, with Republican-won neighborhoods running farther north into Aurora.

Then, the county saw a dramatic reversal in the 2016 presidential race, with Hillary Clinton flipping much of west Centennial and parts of Littleton — and areas near where south Aurora meets east Centennial — in her unsuccessful race against President Donald Trump.

In 2018, Democrat Jared Polis made further gains, holding virtually the same neighborhoods as Clinton and picking more up in the east Centennial and farther-east Aurora areas.

The years of changes seemed to culminate this Election Day, when Democrats flipped three local seats: a county commissioner district that includes reliably red parts of the Littleton and Cherry Hills Village areas; a state House district in Littleton and west Centennial; and the state Senate district whose borders encompass Centennial and nearby areas. Democrats even came within a thin margin of flipping another county commissioner seat, keeping it so close it could end up in a recount.

“The brutal fact for Republicans is that we’ve got a problem with suburban voters,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair

12 percentage points.

This year, he and his new Democratic opponent, Idris Keith, were neck-and-neck in a race that sat in automatic recount territory as of the evening of Nov. 6, three days after Election Day.

As the daily rate of new COVID-19 cases continues on a steep climb in Arapahoe County, Cherry Creek School District announced that all students who attend in-person classes will move to online classes in the coming weeks.

In a letter to the community, Superintendent Scott Siegfried noted that Nov. 5 is the ninth day in a row that the district’s tracker of coronavirus data has posted a “red zone” rating.

“The virus is now at a dangerous level in our community, and we have seen a sustained trend in the data,” Siegfried wrote in the Nov. 5 announcement.

The school district uses a four-part system of tracking local coronavirus data to determine whether it will hold classes in-person or entirely online. It includes Arapahoe County’s COVID-19 test-positivity rate; the county’s hospitalizations; its daily case count; its “incidence rate,” which is another way to measure new cases; and the number of active cases among staff and among students in the school district.

Voters approve tax hike for LPS Ballot Issue 4C passes solidly; will stave off ‘draconian’ cuts

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Public Schools will stave off what district officials called catastrophic cuts after voters solidly approved Ballot Issue 4C, which raises property taxes to make up for eroding state support exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The measure passed with 57.6% support in unofficial results as of Nov. 6, making it the latest in a long series of tax measures supporting the district passed by voters. Issue 4C approves a mill levy override that aims to raise $12 million in its first year, in efforts to offset slashed state funding and increased expenses related to Ewert the pandemic.

Had the measure failed, the cuts likely would have been wide-ranging, from layoffs to deep cuts to bus transportation, athletics and programs like Options High School.

Superintendent Brian Ewert said the measure passing means stability in an uncertain time.

cuts — they just won’t be so draconian,” he said.

Currently, district residents pay a mill levy rate of 59.266 toward LPS, or $423.75 per year per $100,000 of home value.

The measure will raise the mill levy on homes in the district by 6 mills in its first year, with the option to increase by one mill per year, up to a maximum of 11. The 6-mill increase would be $42.58 per year per $100,000 of home value.

That means on a home valued at $500,000, the measure will increase the annual taxes paid toward LPS by $212.90, from $2,118.75 to $2,331.65.

The amount a homeowner would pay if the mill levy was increased by 11 over five years is difficult to estimate because mill levy payments are based on the property tax rate, which is subject to fluctuation. If the rate remained steady at 7.15%, a full 11-mill increase would result in an increase of roughly $78 per year per $100,000 of home value.

Ewert said he recognized that the middle of a pandemic and economic crisis is a hard time to raise taxes on many people, but said the district is an economic engine that helps buoy property values.

“One major value that drives families to Littleton is our highperforming school district,” he said.

“The money you pay out comes back in the form of district employees living and spending their money here, and it comes back in the form of well-educated students.”

Cherry Creek funding measures sail through 4A, 4B to halt budget shortfall hold large lead

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A pair of ballot measures aimed at preventing deep cuts and widespread layoffs in Cherry Creek School District took an easy win on Election Night.

Voters voiced wide support of ballot issue 4A — which asked voters for a tax increase — with 63.3% in favor and 36.7% against in results on Nov. 5, the most recent update as of the night of Nov. 6.

Support came in even higher for 4B — which asked for a debt increase — with 69.9% in favor and 30.1% against as of Nov. 5.

Those results each changed by only a few tenths of a percentage point since Election Night, Nov. 3.

“In CCSD, we know how essential our teachers, nurses, and mental health workers are for the success of our 55,000 students,” Karen Fisher, Cherry Creek Board of Education president, said in a statement on Election Night. “The pandemic has (placed) a spotlight on their importance.”

Cherry Creek faced a looming $60 million budget shortfall in the coming years, partly brought on by the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Without a financial boost from voters, the district could have seen broad consequences, supporters of the ballot measures have said.

Among the possible hits: cutting hundreds of teachers, nurses, mental health staff, administrators and other support employees. Continued overcrowding of elementary students on the east side of the school district.

The loss of a chance to bolster mental health treatment in a district that has put mental health front and center in its priorities.

Using a bond means issuing a debt to investors that the school district eventually will pay back with interest. School districts often use bonds for projects such as construction and for building maintenance.

Issue 4A asks for a mill levy change — a property tax increase. Mill levies pay for salaries, programs and items related to classroom instruction.

“We are so thankful to our community for recognizing the importance of our teachers, nurses and mental health staff,” Scott Siegfried, the head SEE MEASURES, P8

Kellner leads, but race for DA still too close to call Democrat Amy Padden, Republican John Kellner vie to replace George Brauchler

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The election of a new 18th Judicial District Attorney was a race to watch before polls closed Nov. 3.

the criminal justice system — are squaring off to replace term-limited 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler. The Republican district attorney has held the post for eight years and ran unopposed in 2016.

The district comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties and is Colorado’s most populous.

The 2020 winner will assume office in January.

At the county level, Kellner held strong leads in three of the district’s counties: Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln. Meanwhile, Padden had garnered a high percentage of votes in Arapahoe county.

Kellner, of Greenwood Village, currently serves as chief deputy district attorney in the 18th, supervising the district’s prosecutions in Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. Brauchler brought Kellner in to help found the district’s cold case unit, an area Kellner has specialized in.

Padden, of Aurora, began her career in private practice before moving on to work as a prosecutor for the Colorado Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Today, she works as a prosecutor in the 11th Judicial District. She promised a reform-minded approach to the job, aiming to bring down recidivism rates and boost diversion programs.

The winner of this election will be the last district attorney to lead the 18th Judicial District as it operates today, after the state Legislature this year passed a bill to split up the fastgrowing district into two after this district attorney’s term.

One commissioner race nearly tied, another flips parties West Arapahoe County areas see a marked shift to Democratic control

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Four years ago, Republican Jeff Baker ran for the county commissioner seat in the east Centennial and Aurora area, and he bested his Democratic opponent by 12 percentage points.

This year, he and his new Democratic opponent, Idris Keith, were neck-and-neck in a race that sat in automatic recount territory as of the evening of Nov. 6, three days after Election Day. And four years ago, Republican Kathleen Conti — a former representative in the Colorado General Assembly — ran unopposed for the county commissioner seat that covers Littleton, Englewood and west Centennial.

This year, her Democratic challenger, Carrie WarrenGully, overtook her by 11 percentage points.

The results made for a dramatic shift in an election that also saw state House District 38 and state Senate District 27 — areas that overlap those

Commissioners make up the governing body of a county, somewhat similar to city councils.

Commissioner District 3 Keith pulled ahead in a narrow lead in early returns on Election Night, Nov. Keith 3, with about 51.3% to Baker’s 48.7%. District 3 includes east Aurora, far east Centennial and roughly everything else in the county east of highway E-470.

Baker By the afternoon of Nov. 5, Baker had pulled ahead, 50.1% to Keith’s 49.9%.

Those were still the most recent returns posted as of Nov. 6. The difference was just Conti 162 votes, a number that would trigger an automatic recount if the results had been final at that time.

That threshold was about 203 votes as of Nov. 6 but would shift as more votes were counted.

As of the night of Nov. 4, Arapahoe County had at about 2,700 ballots left to be counted that could affect county-level races, according to a spokesperson for the clerk and recorder’s office.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity.

Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!

As nearby districts go online, LPS hopes to stay in-person Despite quarantines and climbing cases, district officials say schools still safe

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As COVID-19 cases surge and metro area school districts switch back to remote learning, Littleton Public Schools officials say they want to maintain in-person learning as long as possible.

As of the afternoon of Nov. 5, the district had at least 336 students and 65 staff members in quarantine, with 18 active confirmed cases of COVID-19 among students and another 15 cases among staff. On Nov. 6, the district announced Heritage and Littleton high schools would go fully remote until at least Nov. 30 in the face of spiking case numbers and a lack of substitute teachers.

Meanwhile, the district’s COVID tracker, a virus-tracking metric composed of several data points meant to guide district decisions about in-person learning, had been solidly in the red zone — the lowest ranking — for a week as of Nov. 5, after degrading from the green zone in mid-October.

Several area school districts, including Westminster, Englewood and Cherry Creek, have announced transitions back to fully-remote learning,

but Littleton superintendent Brian Ewert said he wants to take a different approach: continuing to quarantine groups of students and staff, prioritizing individual school closures over a districtwide closure.

“I have five schools that have seen no cases and no quarantines — how do I stand in front of the community and shut them down while everything is normal?” Ewert said. “To go all remote I would have to hear from my principals and my cabinet that it’s becoming unmanageable. If the system was about to collapse, we would have to shut it down. We’re not there yet.”

‘Not safe or sustainable’ Amanda Crosby, the head of the district’s teacher’s union, said teachers are growing concerned.

“This is not safe or sustainable,” Crosby said. “It’s been ebbing and flowing for weeks, but now there’s no more ebb — it’s just flow.”

Crosby said the 15 teachers with active cases is a spike over just the week before, and said quarantines are coming faster than ever.

The district’s COVID information page shows in the first four days of November, the district sent out 12 quarantine notices for 11 schools or programs. The district sent out only two such notices in the same period in October.

County mail-ballot total tops 2016 overall vote count

Voters returned roughly 328,600 mail ballots, according to unofficial turnout data from the county Elections Division’s website as of Nov. 9.

In 2016, the county’s combined total number of mailed and in-person votes was about 312,900, according to county elections director Peg Perl.

Compared to four years ago, inperson voting saw a decline, totaling about 23,000 voters as of Nov. 9. The county in 2016 saw about 26,600 inperson votes, according to Perl.

BLUE WAVE FROM PAGE 1

And four years ago, Republican Kathleen Conti — a former representative in the Colorado General Assembly — ran unopposed for the county commissioner seat that covers Littleton, Englewood and Cherry Hills Village.

This year, her Democratic challenger, Carrie Warren-Gully, overtook her by 11 percentage points.

“It’s clear that voters who didn’t like Trump decided that Republican candidates down-ballot were no different than Trump,” Wadhams said.

“And we saw the same thing happen in 2018 — the (well) respected sheriff in Arapahoe County and Matt Crane went down.”

That’s a reference to Sheriff David Walcher and the county’s former clerk and recorder, who were swept out in what became known as Colorado’s “blue wave.”

This year, a party switch in state House District 38 came by way of Democrat David Ortiz beating incumbent state Rep. Richard Champion by 11 percentage points. The closely watched race for state Senate District 27 saw Democrat Chris Kolker best Republican Suzanne Staiert by almost the same margin: nearly 11 percentage points. That’s according to results as of Nov. 6.

Not just a Trump rebuff Wadhams noted that it’s likely not just a referendum on President Trump that’s driving the trend toward Democrats. And it’s not likely a case of registered Republicans and independents switching party loyalty to Democrats either, Wadhams said.

“I really don’t see that,” Wadhams said. “I think what’s interesting is the Republican base is still pretty solid” in terms of voter turnout. Wadhams added: “I think there’s an inclination of the new arrivals (in the area) to register as unaffiliated. It doesn’t mean they’re conservative.”

A large number of Colorado voters — somewhere around 40% — are unaffiliated, meaning they aren’t registered to either major party, Wadhams highlighted.

A key part of the tilt toward Democrats, Wadhams said, is recent

the campaigns do themselves.”

Commissioner District 3, the close Baker-Keith race, was “our stretch goal,” as Mallory calls it.

“That is a tougher, more moderate area with a very high population of unaffiliated voters, and they take a lot of courting,” Mallory said.

Regardless of the eventual outcome, her party is “very proud of the progress,” she added. “It’s just a matter of time. That area is changing. More and more working-class people live in Aurora.”

She thinks the COVID-19 pandemic played a part in the election results, too, in that it “really opened people’s eyes to the power that the county commissioners have, with Tri-County Health” and how consequential a local Ground game, COVID may be factors health departWhile changes ment’s actions in the makeup can be, Mallory of Colorado — said.

Newcomers are “generally young and more liberal in their attitudes, and that is definitely affecting the Denver metro area, definitely making Denver and Boulder more (blue) than they ever were,” Wadhams said.

“It’s affecting Jeffco and Arapahoe but even Douglas and El Paso (counties),” which are typically more conservative than their neighbors to the north, Wadhams continued. “The percentages for president and senator were much lower than they should have been. Those two counties underperformed what they normally do for Republican candidates.”

‘It’s clear that voters who didn’t like Trump decided that Republican candidates down-ballot were no different than Trump.’

Biden could end up “immensely unpopular” in 2022.

“I do have some optimism about that because now that Biden has (potentially) won the presidency, I think he’ll be a miserable failure — I don’t think he’s mentally or physically ready for the job,” Wadhams said. “Throw in the state Legislature, which won’t be able to control itself, fiscally and every way. They are going to pursue a far-left agenda. There’s no such thing as a Democratic moderate in the state Legislature.”

Presidents, historically, experience midterm elections that are challenging for their party, and “I think Democrats will particularly have trouble under Biden” in 2022, Wadhams said.

He also sees Democrats as “intent on killing the oil-and-gas industry,” a bent that he argues could affect the state’s entire economy and render Colorado less attractive to people in other states who may consider moving here.

Baker, the incumbent commissioner running against Keith, nodded to Arapahoe County’s demographics changing as people arrive in Colorado from “all over the country.” He remembered Arapahoe “was a red county for many years.”

“I think the demographics are changing — I think it sends a message to politicians to be moderate. That’s how I take it,” Baker said. “They don’t want their representatives to be far right or far left. Middle ground is where people want their politicians to be.”

The path forward has to include reaching out to younger voters, Baker said.

“The cliché is when you go to a Republican meeting, it’s a bunch of old white guys. And that isn’t completely true, but they’re in the majority,” Baker said. “We’ve got to reach out to young people. You can have your personal views on social issues.”

LGBTQ issues are “not something we’re going to win votes on, and it shouldn’t be something we even bring up as an issue,” he continued.

“Social issues need to be put behind us. We need to embrace the people who are enthusiastic about their conservative values. And it’s got to be fiscal conservatism,” Baker said. “It’s got to be transparency of the government and effective and efficient use of taxpayer dollars.”

VOICES

Looking down at someone to be looked up to

L

ooking down from the second level inside the Aurora Mall 35 years ago, I saw an older man, mid-60s, walking alone and unnoticed.

He wasn’t hurrying but showed no signs of impairment.

He was wearing a pale yellow QUIET button-up shirt DESPERATION and slacks, not jeans.

The B-17 was a four-engine, heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps.

During World War II, the Craig Marshall “Flying ForSmith tress” was used primarily in the daylight bombing campaign that focused on German industrial and military targets.

Routing the planes to and from the targets was extremely dangerous. They were large and relatively slow targets for Ger-

man planes and ground-based, anti-aircraft fire, including flak.

As he walked, the man looked all around and eventually up. He spotted me, waved, and I waved back.

The Air Force Association stated, “More than 50,000 Airmen lost their lives in the four years of WWII and the majority of those losses were on bomber missions over Nazi Germany in B-17s and B-24s. The average age of the crew of a B-17 was less than 25, with four officers and six enlisted Airmen manning the aircraft. Their chance of survival was less than 50 percent.”

At some point, the military noticed that morale was suffering because of the loss of men and aircraft, so they came up with a goal for flyers to aim for: complete 25 missions and you go home.

William Wyler, who directed two of my favorite films (“The Best Years of Our Lives” in 1946 and “Roman Holiday” in 1953) volunteered to serve as a major in the United States Army Air

Corps.

Wyler went to England and directed two documentaries, one after noticing the painting of a shapely woman on the nose of a B-17 parked on the tarmac.

To the left of the painting were the words “Memphis Belle.”

Wyler directed “The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress” in 1944.

In 1990, a war film was released titled “Memphis Belle” that fictionalized the 25th mission of the plane Wyler had chosen for his documentary.

For some World War II B-17 flyers, the 25 mission goal came too late. Those who survived flew as many as 30.

The man below stopped walking and when I signaled I’d be down he took a seat on a nearby bench.

“The Best Years of Our Lives” stars Fredric March, Dana Andrews, and a non-professional actor named Harold Russell, a World War II veteran who lost both hands while teaching demolition work as an instructor at a

base in North Carolina.

The aerial shots of Boone City, the city where the servicemen return, were filmed over Cincinnati.

One of the film’s most compelling scenes takes place in an “aircraft boneyard” when Captain Fred Derry (Dana Andrews) walks among hundreds of retired B-17 carcasses. It was filmed at the Ontario Army Airfield in Ontario, California.

Years before I encountered the man at the mall, I discovered he had been one of the flyers who completed thirty missions and was the captain and pilot of a B-17.

I often think about that day when I saw him walking by himself, unnoticed.

When we met at the bench, he stood, and I gave my father a big hug.

n the words of Forrest Gump: “My mom always said that life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

The one thing that separates a good movie or mystery from a great movie or mystery is the element of WINNING suspense and surprise. As WORDS each story plays out, what will happen next will keep us on the edge of our seats, perhaps shock or scare us, make us laugh, and hopefully astonish us Michael Norton in a good way.

It’s when what happens next is completely expected that leaves us feeling a bit disappointed. I find that most of us who really enjoy mysteries and thrillers look forward to the unexpected outcome, and the twists and turns of a book, television series, movie, game or competition of any kind. It’s when we already can predict or

even see what happens next that we lose interest.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected.

And although there are many of us who really enjoy a great mystery, there are many more of us who need to know the plot, the players, the situation and an ending that they had already figured out, or probably at least anticipated. Previously, we might have known the camp that we fell into; those who love a good mystery or those who really need to know what’s happening next.

However, this year has given us all a reason to try and get ahead of what happens next, wanting to know what we should expect and when we should expect it. We find ourselves asking things like how bad it will be, or how fast will it happen. In a book, movie, or game, it’s OK to leave us on the edge of our seat, but in real life, especially during this year that we have just lived through together, we want the answers before we take our seat or before the game starts.

Curiosity got the better of me,

so I began to ask why. Why do we need to know what happens next? I asked friends and family members. I consulted business advisers and mentors of mine. And I asked some of you who read this column regularly.

When thinking about the “why” of knowing what happens next, most people used words like fear, anxiety, worry, doubt, disruption and insecurity. The reality is that many of us are just uncomfortable with the unknown.

There was a saying that was shared with me a long time ago, and I shared it with those I spoke to, so I will share it with you too, “Panic is our worst enemy, nothing is ever as bad as it seems, all will be well.” This usually led to a dialogue where we could talk about replacing words like fear, worry and doubt of the unknown with the excitement of the unknown. Or thinking about disruption as disruption of the status quo and maybe changing things that needed change. And when it came to insecurity, the conversation shifted from what we are insecure about to what we can find security in.

What can we find security in when it feels like we are living in an insecure world? We can start with how we see ourselves, not how the situation or environment sees us. We then move on to our foundation, our faith and our belief system. We can focus on our attitude through the lens of what we can do, not what we can’t do. We take comfort and solace in our relationships and those we love. And we anchor everything in hope.

How about you? Are you ready for what happens next no matter what it is? Do you look forward to the mystery as it unfolds or are you looking for a predictable outcome? I really would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com and when we understand that we can handle the twists and turns of this next mystery, it really will be a better than good week.

Wolf reintroduction going ahead after narrow win Proposition 114 means apex predators will be established in Colorado despite controversy

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Unleash the hounds.

Proposition 114 was decided Nov. 5 as votes from heavily populated Front Range counties pushed the wolf reintroduction plan to victory.

The measure, which tasks Colorado Parks and Wildlife with crafting a plan by the end of 2023 to reintroduce wolves into the Western Slope, was too close to call on Election Night and all day Nov. 4. The tightest statewide ballot issue in Colorado’s 2020 election, Proposition 114 was ahead by a narrow margin that veered close to triggering an automatic recount.

Opponents of the measure conceded the race Nov. 5. Even though there were more than 300,000 votes yet to be counted, a lead of more than 20,000 votes out of 2.97 million cast appeared insurmountable.

Coloradans Protecting Wildlife, the group opposing Proposition 114, said in a statement that it believed “forced wolf reintroduction” into Colorado is bad policy that should not have been decided by voters.

“All along, our opposition campaign was led by those who would be directly

impacted by this measure, including real Coloradans, sportsmen, farmers and ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and more,” said the statement from the group’s spokesman, Patrick Pratt.

“Despite a small group of wealthy, and often out-of-state, activists spending in excess of $2.1 million to pass this measure, our campaign, with less than $800,000 was able to illustrate why forced wolf introduction is wrong for Colorado.”

Few issues raise hackles in the West more than wolves. Farmers, ranchers and hunters fear the return of wolves could damage rural economies that are based on livestock and hunting. Advocates who have pushed to introduce and protect wolves in Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona argue that Colorado is a final step in a 40-year effort to return wolf populations that were hunted into extinction in the 1920s.

Colorado is the first state to reintroduce wolves at the direction of voters rather than federal wildlife biologists working under the Endangered Species Act. Recently, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt announced that the gray wolf population in the U.S. was recovered and no longer needed protection under the Endangered Specials Act, which has protected the canines since 1978. The federal delisting transfers management of wolves to states. A delisting of wolves in the Northern Rockies in 2008 legalized hunting and trapping of the predators. Colorado already has a law protecting wolves

RESULTS OF THE RACES FOR RTD DIRECTOR The following are unofficial results of the Nov. 3 election, updated by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office the afternoon of Nov. 5: District A Kate Williams: 52.2% Tim Nelson: 32.9% Kyle Bradell: 14.9%

has continued to increase, but wages have plateaued. Due to COVID, many people are unemployed or facing periods of unpaid furlough.”

Commissioner District 1 Warren-Gully, the Democratic challenger, amassed a large early lead against Conti, the Republican incumbent, on Election Night.

By Nov. 5, that had whittled down a couple points but was still a wide margin. The race stood at 54.1% for Warren-Gully to 42.7% for Conti. Libertarian candidate Joshua Lallement garnered 3.2%.

District 1 includes Littleton, Sheridan, Englewood, west Centennial and Cherry Hills Village.

Conti, the incumbent, had played up her experience and the knowledge of county departments she gained in the last four years. She’s a resident of Littleton.

Warren-Gully, a Centennial resident,

is a member of the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education.

Conti said if reelected, the top issue in her agenda would be maintaining or increasing “our current level of service to the citizens by protecting our county tax revenues from the state stealing it through unfunded mandates,” as stated in her response in a Colorado Community Media questionnaire. Conti did not respond when contacted for comment after Election Day. On Nov. 5, Warren-Gully said an issue high on her priority list is “long-term planning” to maintain sustainable transportation infrastructure years down the road and keep the county’s buildings and ability to provide services in good shape.

“If you had asked me (my top priority) pre-pandemic when I first started on the campaign, I would definitely say it would be infrastructure. But now I am most concerned with making sure we are providing the social safety-net structure that we need in order to address the pandemic right now and in our economic recovery,” Warren-Gully said. “I know that will have to be our No. 1 focus right now. “

as a “species of concern,” making it illegal to kill the animals.

Supporters of Proposition 114 said the delisting emphasizes the need for additional protection of wolves that comes with reintroduction. Opponents argued the federal delisting proved that wolf populations are healthy enough in the Northern Rockies to migrate south and establish packs in Colorado. Earlier this year, Colorado wildlife biologists confirmed the presence of a wolf pack in the northwestern portion of the state.

The Colorado Wildlife Commission in 2016 rejected a proposal to rein-

troduce wolves, pointing to potential threats to the state’s big game population and livestock industry. More than three dozen rural counties in Colorado opposed Proposition 114. But voters in the state’s six most populated counties along the Front Range anchored the 13 counties that supported Proposition 114, illustrating a divide over wolves that fell largely along urban-rural lines.

Opponents of the measure hope the narrow margin factors into policy discussions as Colorado Parks and SEE WOLVES, P23

OBITUARIES SMITH

PATRICIA KILLIAN SMITH

Patricia Killian Smith of Denver, Colorado (Centennial), passed away peacefully on October 25, 2020 after an incredible 67 years of marriage to Walter Kennedy Smith and successfully raising eight children whom she loved with all of her heart.

Patricia, called “Patsy” by her father, and “Patty” and “Trish” by her family, was born in Denver as the fourth of five children of automobile parts dealer Tom Killian and Agnes (Harrison). Patty grew up with three older siblings, Ann Killian (Andrew), Mary “MeMe” Killian, and Tommy Killian, as well as younger brother Kieran Killian. Patty was closest to her brother Tommy, who became a pecan farmer in Texas, and often relayed childhood stories of “covering” for him in an attempt to keep him out of trouble, while also attempting to keep herself out of trouble and “sneaking” cigarettes beginning at the age of 13.

As a child, and continuing into her teen years, Patty became a champion horse rider, winning frequent competitions at the National Western Stock show, Kansas City Royal Show, and other competitions with her favorite horses “Sunny Hill Cloud” and “Skokie.”

After graduating from St. Mary’s Academy in 1951, and attending Loretto Heights College in Denver for one semester, Patty took the first plane ride of her life to transfer to Marquette University in Wisconsin, where she studied liberal arts. Thought by her would-be husband to be the most beautiful woman at Marquette and, in fact, voted to be the most beautiful woman in her dorm, Patty accepted a date with Walter Smith as a sophomore, even though Walter was a senior and would soon be heading to the Korean War. In her diary, she recorded her first two dates with Walter--which involved sipping sodas--as “nice” and a “real nice time.” Walter and Patty fell quickly for one another, and were married in Denver, Colorado on October 3, 1953.

Patty indicated many times during her life that the thing she wanted most in life was to be a mother. Patty got what she wanted, and will be remembered for her absolute selflessness, even when tasked with caring for a traveling salesman husband and eight children,

seven of whom are separated by just 9 years of age. When asked late in her life if she would do it all over again, she enthusiastically said “yes,” and noted that she most enjoyed being a mother when her children most needed her, between the ages of 10 and 20.

Patty was selfless, gracious, calm, loving, supportive and caring.

The Smith children competed for Patty’s attention, and often ribbed one another as to which child was Patty’s favorite. Patty adamantly insisted that she loved all of her children equally.

She once said that her children were like flowers in her garden—each of whom could qualify as her “favorite” at any particular moment. “One day I will go out to the garden and see a beautiful flower and think that the flower is the most beautiful and my favorite. But, the next day, I will see another flower and think that it is the most beautiful. The fact is that all the flowers are beautiful and my favorite.”

Patty loved to spend time with her children and grandchildren, play tennis, garden, scrapbook, and read and write poetry. She penned beautiful detailed letters to her children once they moved away from home and, for each of her eight children, created multivolume scrapbooks chronicling their lives for their thirtieth birthdays. Patty also worked as a florist for several years after the last of her children went away to college—a job she loved given her ability to arrange beautiful flowers.

Patty is survived by her husband Walter (90); children Ann (Jerry) Jessop (65), Steve (Michelle) (64), Walter “Ken” (Joni) (63), Joan (Celeste) (62), Matthew (Liz) (60), Stephanie Murphy (58), Heidi (Tim) (56), and Benjamin (Shelley) (48); as well as fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Patty is also survived by her brother Tommy (Joraine).

A funeral mass will be held at Pax Christie Catholic Church in Highlands Ranch at 11:00 am on November 13, 2020 followed by a private ceremony at Ft. Logan National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the Smith family asks that donations be made to the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, www. barbaradaviscenter.org.

Churches differ on pandemic response Arvada United Methodist Church held drive-in church services in its parking lot during warmer months but will now switch to full virtual as cool weather sets in during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pastors say they rely on local, state guidance as disease drags on

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

s Colorado’s third wave of COVID-19 grips the state, churches in the Denver metro area are preparing to take additional precautions, although they differ in their plans to do business in the weeks ahead, from full virtual services to limited in-person gatherings.

Dr. Amy Gearhart, lead pastor at Arvada United Methodist Church, said their church is paying close attention to the guidance of local and state health agencies. The church has not held in-person services since the pandemic reached Colorado.

“We’re a congregation that’s in total support and confidence in the scientific research and data,” she said.

The closest that Arvada United Methodist Church came to holding in-person gatherings during COVID-19 was when it hosted drive-in services in the parking lot during the warmer fall months. With winter approaching, the church is switching back to full virtual as of Nov. 8.

Gearhart said there have been advantages to virtual sermons. Each Sunday they post a pre-produced sermon to YouTube. The church garners roughly 100 more views than what inperson attendance might have been before the pandemic, she said.

It also offers a solution for at-risk congregation members, she said.

tendance before COVID-19 hit, Thulson said, and they estimate a dozen families tune in by livestream. He is not sure at what point the church would switch to full virtual services, if a shutdown is not ordered by local or state agencies, with which he vowed they would comply.

“That’s a great question,” he said.

The pandemic has placed numerous barriers on churches, he said, and there are mixed reactions to steps the church takes. Some people believe the church should not meet at all while others wish services could continue as normal.

“There are different opinions on all this. Not outright division but it’s kind of a continuum,” he said.

Gearhart said her congregation has been supportive of staying virtual and social distancing, but she knows pastors who have weathered pushback against following COVID-19 precautions.

Moving forward, the pastors said they’ll look to health agency guidance for navigating the pandemic in coming weeks, and they’ll try to keep up morale among community members.

“I think probably like everybody in our community and around the world, there is tremendous COVID fatigue and Zoom fatigue and I think that’s only exacerbated by some of the social division, political division,” Feldmeir said. “But I think there’s also a tremendous sense of a collective sense of we’re going to get through this.”

U.S. and Europe — examples are tied into this large (150 works) exhibit on walls as well as with a few paintings, such as the well-recognized “Calla Lily Vendor.”

Mexico City was the center of activity and was home to Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and a circle of creatives who combined Mexican folk art with

techniques adapted from European arts — also in flux at that time. Rivera, 30 years older than Kahlo, was established as an influential painter.

Also there: Jacques and Natasha Gelman, who collected works by the local artists, who were their friends.

Gelman was a partner at Posa films and connected with the local art community, where he and his wife began to collect works by their friends. This exhibit includes 150 works by internationally recognized artists, most from the Gelman collection, with additional works from the collection of Denverbased John and Sandy Fox and from the museum’s collection.

Gelato shop aims for sweet success Family-run business brings a taste of Italy to Highlands Ranch

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Barsness family has always loved a cup of gelato.

From their trips to Italy to vacations in the Cayman Islands, the four-member family frequently finds themselves at the counter of a shop selling the creamy, Italian treat. That’s why a few years ago, the Douglas County family began working on a plan to open their own gelato shop in the community.

Now, after months of work and a grand opening delayed by COVID-19, the family has finally started serving at their Gelato & Co franchise in Highlands Ranch.

“People just flocked in,” owner Dean Barsness said. “We were blown away.”

The gelato shop, which also serves handmade pastries and coffee, officially opened its doors in the Central Park area of Highlands Ranch — near Lucent Boulevard and Plaza Drive — on Oct. 12.

The shop, focusing on fresh, artisanal desserts, also has locations in Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, Panama, Aruba and the Cayman Islands.

Dean Barsness, 58, and his family moved to Douglas County about three years ago from Chicago, where Barsness owned an insurance company.

After selling his company, he considered retiring.

The new dessert shop in Highlands Ranch, Gelato & Co, offers a variety of homemade flavors of gelato, including coffee, tiramisu, strawberry and salted caramel.

IF YOU GO The Barsness family has lived in unincorporated Douglas County near Roxborough Park for about three years. Pictured from left to right are Sarah, Dean, Susan and Jonathan.

“I still wanted to do something but didn’t know what that was,” Barsness said. “But I wanted to do something very different from the insurance business.”

The Barsness family first fell in love with gelato during their frequent trips to Italy, where Dean’s wife Susan’s father is from. Gelato has similar ingredients to ice cream but uses different ratios, such as more milk, less cream and less fat. It’s also denser and served at a warmer temperature than ice cream.

“We would come home and miss that

daily gelato,” Dean said.

Then, while visiting the Cayman Islands, the Barsness family — including Dean and Susan’s son Jonathan, 26, and daughter, Sarah, 23 — tried a Gelato & Co shop for the first time.

“We went there almost every day,” Dean said, “It was such a happy place all the time.”

After moving to unincorporated Douglas County near Roxborough Park, the family began toying with the idea of opening their own Gelato & Co. Through working with the company’s owners and finding a location for the

shop, they were able to move forward with the franchise.

In late February, they began preparing their store with a mid-June opening date in mind. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Italy and then the United States, the process became much more complicated. Almost everything in the store, including wall art, chairs and cups, needed to be shipped from Italy.

While they waited, Dean focused on hiring their five pastry chefs and other staff through video chat interviews.

a score of up to 2 points, so each day’s total score can be up to 12 points.

If the points are 7 or greater, it means the district deems it safe to continue in-person class. If it’s 5 or lower, the metric suggests moving to entirely online class. Only a “sustained seven- to 14-day change” can cause the district to move into or out of in-person classes.

On Nov. 5, the district scored a 3, its lowest rating since a downward trend in the score began in late October.

Cherry Creek School District’s change to remote learning means middle and high school students were to finish in-person classes the week of Nov. 2, and teachers would have Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 to prepare for the transistion. The students would move to online classes on Nov. 11.

Preschool and elementary students were to have their last day of in-person classes on Nov. 11. Teachers were to have Nov. 12 and Nov. 13 to prepare, and those students would move to online classes on Nov. 16.

Unclear on how long Siegfried, the district’s head official, expressed hope that the shift to entirely remote classes is “short-lived, and students are again in class very soon,” he wrote.

But it’s unclear when the virus’s trend in Arapahoe County will break.

Since early September, Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties have seen — by far — their largest sustained increase in the rate of daily new recorded cases.

The spike has been most pronounced in Adams, still steep in Arapahoe, and less so, but still notable, in

November 12, 2020N

COMPUTERS, MEALS, CHILD CARE, TESTING NEEDS Superintendent Scott Siegfried’s letter announcing the shift to online class for Cherry Creek School District outlined information about resources available to families.

• Families who need access to technology for online classes, such as a computer or similar device, or internet access, should contact their children’s school.

• The district will provide free breakfast and lunch at remote locations. Students can pick up seven days’ worth of breakfast and lunch meals on the different pick-up dates. View the schedule and locations at cherrycreekschools.org/FreeMeals or call 303-773-1184.

• Child care will look similar to the care provided this summer with curbside health screening, check-in and check-out, and cohorting by grade level. What may be different for some families is that care may not be provided at their school but at a school close by.

Under the district’s shift to online classes, or “remote learning,” the instruction will be a mixture of “synchronous” class — meaning students learning online together at the same time — and asynchronous learning, meaning students doing coursework on their own time.

Douglas, according to the Tri-County Health Department.

Advances in the availability of COVID-19 testing since the start of the pandemic make comparisons across all months difficult — testing was scarce in March, and recorded case numbers back then didn’t reflect the true extent of the virus’s spread. But those three counties’ daily trend of cases far outpaces their numbers from even the “second wave” of recorded cases this summer, which occurred as testing capacity had expanded.

‘Data dump’ a factor Adding to Cherry Creek’s data woes

Extended Childcare Services will provide space and supervision for both types of instruction for the children attending. But ECS staff will not provide instruction to students.

Children attending should bring their own technology to use, but backup technology will be available if needed.

• The district will continue to offer COVID-19 testing for staff and some students through a program called COVIDCheck Colorado. Families should email their student’s school nurse for more information about testing for students. Families can call the district’s Health Services office at 720-5544274 if they need assistance.

• School nurses and mental health staff will reintroduce the Nurses’ HealthLine and MentalHealthLine program to allow parents and students to connect with school mental health staff and nurses to access necessary resources.

• A STRIDE Drive-Thru clinic scheduled at Smoky Hill High School for Nov. 6 will still take place, according to the district.

Students can receive low or no-cost immunizations, flu shots, wellness check-ups, and dental and behavior screening exams.

Families should contact their student’s school nurse for details. is a so-called “data dump” within the past few weeks due to a delay in reporting by a large local health-care provider, according to the school district.

“The data was not reported at the time it was collected, and so it looks like an influx of positive cases all at once, when really the cases occurred over the past month,” the district says on its website.

Siegfried had hoped that the data dump “would be a single high point on our scale that we would quickly come down from, but we did not,” he wrote in his letter. “The data since that time is actually worse and therefore causes

this move.”

Cherry Creek’s internal data continues to show that virus’s spread “is minimal inside schools,” Siegfried wrote. “However, the level of spread in the community is so significant that we are seeing increased student and staff cases coming into the schools from the community making it more difficult to operate.”

The district this school year has operated on a “blended” plan for grades six through 12 that puts half of students in school Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with the other half attending Thursday and Friday. Families had the option to put their students in the district’s online program.

County virus restrictions rise After weeks of rising case counts and mounting pressure on the health care system, state officials moved Arapahoe County to safer-at-home level 2 — now known as level yellow after the state switched to color identifiers to avoid confusion — on Oct. 28.

The change affects capacity for businesses, restaurants, places of worship, and other locations and activities.

Level orange, which Arapahoe appears to be on track toward, is one step short of a stay-at-home order.

Colorado’s safer-at-home policy came after the statewide stay-at-home order ended in spring. In mid-September, the state broke the safer-at-home policy into three levels — now blue, yellow and orange — that counties qualify for based on how dire the local virus’s spread is. If the trend becomes severe enough, counties may be moved back to stay-at-home orders.

“Teachers are run down,” Crosby said. “It’s hard when dealing with a virus — you need strength and rest.”

The social network For some parents, however, in-person learning is a welcome component of school in a tumultuous year.

Suzanne Frisch, who has a son at Newton Middle School and a daughter at Heritage High School, said her children benefit from spending time with teachers and fellow students.

“It’s important they get to see other human beings,” Frisch said.

“My son in particular — he gets tired of spending all his time with only grownups.”

Frisch said she trusts district administrators to make the right calls about in-person learning, and said she’s been impressed with how diligently students are wearing face masks.

“They’re better about it than adults are,” she said. “They’re not the ones complaining about how awful and unfair masks are.”

Frisch said teachers seem to be doing an excellent job teaching online, and said youngsters are responding.

“Teachers are showing such flex-

“There’s teaching and learning going on. Despite the chaos, everyone is keeping their eyes on the prize. If we have to go all-remote, I won’t be mad.”

Frisch’s daughter Natalie, a senior at Heritage, said sometimes it’s hard to keep up motivation in online school.

“Online school plus senioritis is interesting,” she said. “I don’t always want to do the work in the first place, even less so when it doesn’t feel real.”

She said her in-person days have been a boon for her AP classes,

which are more challenging and more difficult to translate entirely online. She added many of her fellow students crave in-person days.

“I don’t mind spending so much time at home, but some of us need those in-person days, or else they get really sad,” Natalie said.

Virus counts climbing Meanwhile, COVID-19 cases are surging — Gov. Jared Polis said in a Nov. 5 press conference the virus was circulating at its highest rate since the pandemic began, with as many as one in every 100 Coloradans infected. The same day, the state

passed its April peak for confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations.

Though Polis asked Coloradans to only interact with members of their own household through the month of November, Ewert said that stood in contrast to earlier comments.

“In previous conversations, the governor said schools are essential, and to do whatever you can to keep kids in school as long as possible,” Ewert said. “The amount of transmission within our schools is incredibly low.”

Ewert said the district is aware of four cases of in-school transmission, one from a special education teacher working closely with a student, and the rest from a student who infected others while playing basketball.

“I’d argue it’s safer to be in school than out in the community,” he said.

School board President Jack Reutzel said he’s committed to continuing in-person learning as well.

“The board has heard overwhelming pleas from parents to keep kids in school, and in fact, pleas to get them back in even more than we have,” Reutzel said. “We’ve also heard from teachers who agree with that. We’re trying to be responsible for students who absolutely benefit from in-person learning, and trying to protect everyone. We’re trying to balance a lot of interests.”

Reutzel said he appreciated Crosby’s position, but said while she and the teachers’ union had been opposed to in-person learning since last summer, Reutzel felt the return to in-person school had gone well.

“We value their position, but we’re guided by doing what’s best for students,” Reutzel said. “There are other constituencies to consider here.”

WOLVES FROM PAGE 13

Wildlife gathers public input and assembles a plan for reintroduction.

That plan, per the ballot language, requires statewide hearings and includes creating a system to reimburse ranchers who lose livestock to wolves.

“The election results demonstrate that nearly half of Coloradans agree with us. We hope these election results show proponents, lawmakers and Colorado Parks and Wildlife that next steps must be taken in a measured, responsible way,” the statement from Coloradans Protecting Wildlife reads.

The group said it would continue to work to protect wildlife, ensure diverse groups — “not just activists and regulators from the Front Range” — are including in wolf-policy development, and to defend ranchers and “prepare the West Slope for the realities of introducing a new apex predator.”

Supporters of Proposition 114 say the margin doesn’t matter and welcome their opponents to the next step.

“The bottom line is that Proposition 114 is not based on how close the vote was. It’s the law. We need to all get our heads around that fact and lean into the work ahead, which is fashioning a future for wolves in Colorado that we can coexist with,” said Rob Edward with the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund. “We need to go forward as neighbors and adversaries and friends

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

and create a future for wolves.”

Edward dismissed the notion that Proposition 114 passed solely on the back of Front Range and urban residents. He points to San Miguel, La Plata, San Juan, Summit and Pitkin counties, where a majority of voters approved the measure.

“We would not be having this conversation today had it not been for people on the Western Slope voting for wolves,” he said.

KAHLO FROM PAGE 15

Gelato & Co also offers handmade pastries, cakes and coffee.

GELATO FROM PAGE 16

When they met their head pastry chef, Mariana Ramirez, they found what Susan Barsness called their “silver lining.”

“Hearing the passion come out when (Mariana) was talking about her business, that’s where I was like ‘she’s got to be in,’” Susan said.

When the Barsness family finally received their materials from Italy in September, they were able to get to work building the store and training their staff.

Community members,

many of whom had seen the Gelato & Co sign for months, started knocking on their door when they noticed people inside working, Dean said. Finally, after telling multiple people they weren’t open yet, Dean decided he couldn’t do it anymore.

“I said ‘I’m not turning another person away,’ so we just started letting people in,” Dean said.

Since then, the shop has seen lots of support from the community, with customers coming in even after a snowstorm, Dean said.

An artificial fireplace in a corner of the shop provides a warm place for customers to eat their gelato.

Each day, Ramirez and her

painted portraits of Natasha Gelman, their patron and good friend.

Frida Kahlo had suffered from polio when she was a child, then was badly injured as a teen in a bus accident that left her back permanently painful. She said: “I paint myself because I am so often alone and I am the subject I know best.”

She was still a student when she met the much older Rivera.

They fell in love, married, divorced and remarried. Kahlo’s family home, the blue house that is now a museum, was their home.

Seven of her distinctive selfportraits are included plus a number of other drawings and paintings.
