A newly formed council of Arapahoe County leaders discussed plans to spend millions in funds won through a multi-state settlement with some of the country’s largest drug giants during a Sept. 22 virtual meeting.
The Arapahoe County Regional Opioid Council — comprised of 12 members that includes elected officials, law enforcement and social service workers — will help guide about $25 million in new spending over the next 18 years.
The money is but a slice of the massive $26 billion settlement to states and local governments agreed to in February by drug distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, McKesson and manufacturer Johnson and Johnson, which faced lawsuits for their role in fueling the opioid epidemic.
In Arapahoe County, officials estimate there were more than 19 overdose deaths per 100,000 residents last year, with more than 500 opioid prescriptions dispensed per 1,000 residents.
Deaths related to fentanyl, a synthetic opioid now found more commonly in illicit street drugs, have also risen.
In Arapahoe County, 56% of all overdose deaths were related to fentanyl in 2021, up from 47% the year before.

PHOTOS BY TAYLER SHAWWhen it comes to racial eq uity, what are the issues facing the Arapahoe County justice system and how can they be addressed?
It’s a question the Arapahoe County Racial Equity Subcom mittee has been tackling since its formation last year, and on Sept. 19, the board invited community mem bers to share their questions and concerns during its first in-person event at Ready to Work Aurora.
“We conduct community educa tion, and we also want to have some outreach from the community,” said Jeff Baker, an Arapahoe County commissioner and the chair of the subcommittee. “And that is what this meeting was set up to do, to try to open up the avenues of commu nication to our justice — folks in the justice system.”
The Racial Equity Subcommit tee is part of the Arapahoe County Justice Coordinating Committee, which was established in 2007, ac cording to the county’s website.
John Kellner, the district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, is a member of both groups.
“It is a group that gets together
to talk about: How do we improve the justice system in Arapahoe County?” Kellner said about the Justice Coordinating Committee. “And what grew out of that in the summer of 2020 was a desire to focus more on the racial and social equity issues.”
In early 2021, the subcommittee was officially created and began meeting via Zoom.
The subcommittee was estab lished to identify inequities, collect and analyze data on equity issues, and develop preventative and reha bilitative strategies to address bias and recommend those to the Justice Coordinating Committee, Baker said.
Members of the subcommittee include Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown, Centennial and Au rora council members, and repre sentatives of organizations such as Second Chance Center, Harvest Church, AllHealth Network and the Colorado Coalition for the Home less.
Although she does not represent an organization, Leslie Summey — a resident of unincorporated Arapahoe County who is running to be the Arapahoe County Com missioner representing District 4 — joined the subcommittee as a community member.
“I’m excited about it and passion ate about the work of this subcom mittee because I am a mother of five African American children. They have not been justice-in volved, but you never know when
that is going to happen,” Summey said.
“Therefore, I want to be that voice for the everyday mother who is worried about her children, and for the everyday human being who is African American, of color, who is — who knows about the inequities in the criminal justice system, and who can see the opportunities for growth there,” she said.
Kellner said the subcommittee’s meetings have helped people learn from one another.
“It’s eye-opening to talk to people who experience the justice system differently than I do as a prosecu tor, and it’s important to get those perspectives to make sure we have a more fair and just system,” Kellner said.
Something that intrigued Kellner was when decisions that were in tended to be “race neutral” resulted in disparate outcomes, he said.
“You think you are doing every thing right, and you realize that there’s some unintended conse quences. And one of those things that we saw a few years ago was in our diversion program,” Kellner said.
The juvenile diversion program serves about 600 kids a year and offers a range of services, including therapy and family support, Kellner said. It has good outcomes, with a recidivism rate of about 6.5%, he said.
However, the program “was a lot more, frankly, white than it should have been, given the number of juveniles that should have been eligible,” Kellner said.
He said questions were raised about why there were not more kids from Aurora in the program. What they realized was the policy for intake, which said people with two prior municipal convictions were not eligible for the program, was part of the reason.
“What happened is like Lone Tree, or Parker, or Highlands Ranch — some more affluent neighbor hoods — they might have their own municipal courts with their own diversion programs,” Kellner said, explaining this allows for some people to do community service and not end up with a conviction.
“We were excluding a lot more young Black men, or kids, because in Aurora, they didn’t have a diver sion program for their municipal court. They ended up taking a lot more convictions,” he said. “So then, by the time they got to state level — like OK, this is more seri ous — we were excluding them.”
justice system, and this has never happened on this scale, across the country,” Kellner said.
The data provides a starting point for identifying disparate outcomes that need further investigation, he explained.
For example, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney Data Dashboard, in 2021, 38% of Black defendants charged with a felony pled guilty to a misdemeanor — a lesser charge. The percentage for white defendants was 43%.
This year, however, it’s 37% for both Black and white defendants, he said.
“So are we doing something a little different this year? We’re, obviously, talking a lot more about disparate outcomes and impacts, so maybe that’s an awareness piece that’s having some positive im pact,” Kellner said.
One of the subcommittee mem bers present at the meeting was Danielle Harris, the director of diversity, equity and inclusion at AllHealth Network, a community behavioral health center.
Harris spoke about AllHealth Net work’s co-responder program that has partnered with law enforce ment agencies in Arapahoe County, as well as its recently launched Mo bile Response Unit in Englewood.
“And so I’m wondering, have there been other programs like that, that have been successful?” Harris asked.
Brown said the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office had a co-responder program with AllHealth Network and decided to bring the service internally, creating its own coresponder program.
“We responded to almost 4,000 calls for service last year, using our mental health co-responders,” Brown said.
It’s difficult to estimate the exact number of people who were not arrested as a result of the program, he said, but the agency estimates it was anywhere from about 850 to 1,000 people.
The agency has plans to expand its co-responder program, he said, including introducing it at the de tention facility.
Of the approximately 950 people in custody right now, about 40% of them have self-reported about deal ing with some sort of mental health issue, he said.

One good thing, Kellner said, is the City of Aurora is starting its own diversion program for munici pal courts.
“They’ve recognized the need for that. And then we adjusted our selves,” he said.
“I’ve been really committed to data and looking at things that may not be what I expect them to say,” Kellner said.
A few weeks ago, Kellner said eight district attorney offices an nounced a collaborative data trans parency project.
“We unveiled more data transpar ency than anybody’s ever had in the
“And then you add in substance use disorder and other non-report ed mental health issues, we’re prob ably upwards of 75–85% of those individuals dealing with some sort of mental health crisis. So the mental health side of this is huge,” Brown said.
“We didn’t ask to be the largest mental health facility in the county, at the detention facility, but we are. I didn’t ask to be the largest drug treatment facility in the county, but we are,” he said.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office also recently expanded its therapy dog program by purchas ing Riley, who is the first therapy dog for the Cherry Creek School District.
During Riley’s first day on the job, he entered a school where there was a child in crisis, Brown said.
“He wouldn’t go back to his classroom. He had been out for about an hour and 45 minutes,” Brown said about the child, explaining the teachers and psychologist had been switching spots, trying to get the child to engage.
Once Riley entered the school with his handler, School Resource Officer Deputy Adam Nardi, the child asked if he could pet Riley.
After about five minutes of petting Riley, the child said he was ready to go back to class, Brown said.
“And then he was re-engaged for the rest of the day. That quick. I mean, within five minutes of being in a school, that dog paid for itself in that one day,” Brown said. “That’s something that we all strive to look for, is ways that we can introduce new resources or new technologies that benefit our communities.”
Another benefit to the therapy dogs is they can be trained to detect guns, explosives or electronics, Brown explained, which allows for schools to address safety concerns in a way that is not aggressive and offers a therapeutic component.
One attendee at the event expressed concern about the accessibility of these types of resources for all students, saying that a Black child and a white child are often not given the same treatment, as well as concerns about the school-to-prison pipeline.
According to American University, the pipeline “refers to practices and policies that disproportionately place students of color into the criminal justice system,” partially due to “biased application of harsh disciplinary measures and overuse of referrals to law enforcement.”
To help make sure the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is cognizant of implicit biases and is not perpetuating the school-to-prison pipeline, Brown said the agency began collecting data last year about its school resource officers program, which includes data broken down by race and ethnicity.
“It was interesting to me to look at the span and look at the breakdown of race, and it actually broke down closer to the demographic makeup of each individual school district,” Brown said, explaining the agency serves Deer Trail, Byers Public Schools, Cherry Creek and Littleton Public Schools.
Out of the 230 instances that the school resource officers “got involved, in some sort of an action,” 215 of them were reported to officers by a student, a victim/parent, or school district officials, Brown said. Reports primarily came from school district officials, he said.
The agency continues to collect data this year, Brown said, and encourages other county sheriffs to do the same.
One of the great things that grew out of the, sort of, Racial Equity Subcommittee was a warrant clearing event held in February, Kellner said.
The idea was to help people who
have low-level warrants who got “out of step” with their case due to something like work issues or childcare problems — which are “things that oftentimes really impact those that are the least fortunate, least able to deal with them,” he said.
Those eligible for the event included anyone with an active warrant or warrant for a probation violation in Arapahoe County for class 5 or 6 felony, class 4 drug felony, a misdemeanor or a traffic offense.
There were public defenders, prosecutors and a judge present to help resolve the warrants and offer a clean slate to people, rather than arrest them, Kellner said.
“It would have been a waste of resources to arrest those people, when really they needed — and we wanted to give them an opportunity — to get on track and comply with the law,” he said.
In total, 101 warrants were cleared, according to the website. It was a huge cost saving, Brown said.
According to the website, for every warrant cleared, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office estimated it would have cost them two hours for the deputy to make the arrest, four hours for the booking process at the jail and $128 if the defendant spent the night in jail.
The time and money saved can now be dedicated elsewhere to other services and needs, Brown said.
Kellner described the event as “tremendous” and said some attendees came from out of state.
“Truly, we want to treat less serious cases with less serious consequences, and help people get back on their feet when they need it,” Kellner said. “It was really uplifting for my team to participate.”
Kellner said when 25,000 cases comes through his office per year, it’s important to be mindful of collateral consequences such as impeding a person’s abiltiy to get housing and a job.
“Everybody involved in this committee wants an accessible justice system that people can trust. To have that, you’ve got to be out in the community,” Kellner said.
Baker said he expects the next community meeting to be held in October.
“If you’ve ever wondered, ‘Why do they do it that way?’ We might be able to answer that question,” Baker said.
Baker said the subcommittee wants to hear people’s suggestions of how the justice system can improve.
“The more voices we hear from, the better off we’re going to be for the solutions. Because there might be something that you have in your back pocket that we can tap into and benefit from,” Brown said.
“That’s really what all this is about. It’s about us reaching across the aisle; it’s about us reaching out to community members.”

Arapahoe County leaders said they will seek public input in the coming weeks on changes to the county’s Land Development Code for unincorporated areas in a bid to shore up its housing supply.
“There is not enough housing, so that kind of begs the question of what are we missing,” said Arapahoe County Commissioner Carrie Warren-Gully. “You can’t just have a single type of housing that’s going to satisfy the needs of everybody in our community.”
A flurry of funding for local governments approved by state lawmakers last year — including a $6.8 million grant program — could help counties like Arapahoe make their land use codes more supportive of new developments, especially affordable homes.
But those funds will be competitive, Warren-Gully said, and currently, Arapahoe County only meets a minimum of three of 16 strategies laid out by the state to be eligible for the money. Warren-Gully said she is hopeful that with new code updates, the county will be even better positioned to win some of the funds.
Proposed code changes so far are what Warren-Gully called “lowhanging fruit.” It includes adding
more language about supporting and defining affordable housing and accessory dwelling units — small residencies that share lots with larger homes.
The changes are far from some of the more sweeping measures that cities in the county have taken over the past year, such as the City of Littleton, which rezoned its entire boundary to allow for denser developments and is currently drafting language on a policy that would both mandate and incentivize building affordable housing in the city.
Neighboring cities of Englewood and Centennial are also currently evaluating their housing needs with studies that could influence future housing and zoning policy, such as Englewood’s CodeNext project which seeks to update its zoning code.
But county officials hope that by securing grant funding they can bring even more incentives to the table for developers to build affordable housing. One way would be reducing the planning fees developers pay before building a project, said Arapahoe County Senior Planner Kathleen Hammer.
“That’s something that is breaking down a barrier and expanding affordable housing,” Hammer said.
And future policy changes could go further, said Senior Planner Katleen Hammer. Beginning in 2023, the county could take steps to identify underused commercial space for new housing as well as increase bonuses for denser projects and allow duplexes and triplexes in single family-zoned areas.
About 94% of the county’s unincorporated area — which accounts for just over 405,000 acres — is
zoned for detached single-family housing, according to Hammer.
The process of changing policy will take time, Hammer said, as the county will have to engage in thorough public outreach before drafting and voting on any changes.
Any new policies would only affect unincorporated areas, as cities like Littleton and Englewood “have their own rules and regulations,” Hammer said.
As the metro area faces a continued shortage of homes with high costs, Warren-Gully said leaders have to “join into that conversation as a county or we are going to be left out.”
Addressing the housing shortage, Warren-Gully said, will be crucial for retaining residents who are essential workers — such as nurses, teachers and firefighters — and for bringing rent costs down.
To do that, counties like Arapahoe will have to ensure their land use code provides opportunities for a mix of housing — such as apartments, townhomes and duplexes — not just single family homes.
“We want a diverse group of people living in our community, and the only way to do that is to provide diverse housing options,”
Warren-Gully said.
The county’s planning commission is set to hold a public hearing on the changes Oct. 18 in the Arapahoe Room at 6954 S. Lima St., Centennial. A final decision on the changes will be made by commissioners Nov. 22.
Workers build townhomes in Littleton in 2018. The rising cost of living in the city and surrounding metro area has spurred local leaders to look for new ways to ensure a ordable housing. FILE

Cooler evenings, shorter days, all the pumpkin-themed drinks and foods you can think of — the start of fall is just a few days away. And that means seasonal fall colors are right around the corner, according to state forestry officials.
“It’s not an exact science,” said Dan West, a Colorado State Forest Service entomologist. Fall leaf colors will have average timing this year, he added.
When predicting fall colors, West breaks the state into thirds — northern, central and southern Colorado. By the end of September, northern Colorado should see changing leaves, then early October for central Colorado and mid to late October for the southern portion of the state.
The 2022 fall foliage prediction map predicts similar peak colors. It analyzes data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration like historical temperatures and precipitation, and other markers.
This year, monsoon moisture through the summer helped drought-stressed trees recover, West said.
That means leaves likely won’t have brown edges like they’ve had the last few years when drought was more prevalent. So while he said this year’s autumn colors will be quite average relatively, they’ll seem
“The next month or so looks fantastic for the state of Colorado for leaf colors,” West said. “I think that we’re gonna have a pretty good year as opposed to years past.”
The best fall foliage conditions are a combination of abundant sunshine to get rid of chlorophyll — which gives leaves their green color — and cool nights to produce sugars that create brilliant reds and purples. And you’re in luck because West said NOAA’s 30-day forecast predicts that kind of environment. (Word to the wise: We live in Colorado so you and I both
always change. And if it snows, say goodbye to the cool colors.)
When taking in the views, West said he likes to follow Colorado’s fall colors from north to south. He starts in Routt National Forest near Steamboat Springs and moves southwest near La Veta Pass into Alamosa and toward Durango.
“The Oaks give you a beautiful show of that red and orange in the bottom of the forest and then the aspens over top of that, it’s just, breathtaking,” West said.
Although many areas of Colorado should expect beautiful scenery, some places in the south-
severe drought or burn scars like the Spring Creek fire will take more time to recover and produce similar foliage.
West’s best advice for checking out the scenery: “If things don’t look good in your favorite spot or where you normally drive, I’d say just keep for a couple more minutes and I think your chances are pretty good that you’re going to get into a good spot. Enjoy beautiful Colorado.”

When Maria Judith Alvarez’ son was in elementary school, he once returned home from school with his lunch number written on his wrist. It was the school’s way of letting Alvarez know that her son owed lunch money.
“They weren’t going to give him any more food until I went to pay off the debt,” Alvarez told Rocky Mountain PBS in Spanish.
At the time, the family only had one car and one cell phone that Alvarez’ husband used most of the time for his job.
“Maybe they tried to get in touch with us with a phone call or a voicemail,” she said, “but with my husband working — you know how some men are — they don’t always answer the phone.”
Alvarez went to the school the following day to pay off the debt and put more money in her son’s account. “I wanted him to feel confident next time he stood in line for a school lunch,” she said.
Eight years have passed since that happened, but Alvarez said her son still doesn’t like to eat school lunch. “He waits until he comes home to
eat,” Alvarez explained.
Her story and the stories she hears from many other moms in the Glenwood Springs are what motivated her to advocate for Healthy School Meals for All, a program that voters will decide on in the upcoming November election.
If voters approve Proposition FF, the state will create the Healthy School Meals for All Program, which will provide free school meals to students in public schools; provide grants for participating schools to purchase Colorado grown, raised or processed products; increase wages or provide stipends for employees who prepare and serve school meals; and create parent

and student advisory committees to provide advice to ensure school meals are healthy and appealing to all students.
A “no” vote on Proposition FF means the current method of funding school meals will continue, where a family of four needs to be making less than $51,000 a year to qualify for free school lunch.
The program will be funded by limiting state income tax deductions for households that bring in more than $300,000 a year.
Ashley Wheeland, director of public policy for Hunger Free Colorado, is an advocate of this ballot measure. “We know that when kids have food, they learn, they do better,
[have] less behavioral issues and it decreases childhood hunger when school meals are available to any kid who needs it in school,” she said.
As part of COVID-19 relief, the federal government covered the costs of school lunch meals for all students over the last two years.
However, that funding expired ahead of the 2022-23 school year and all school districts in Colorado — except for Greeley-Evans County School District 6 — returned to charging students for school lunch, except those who qualified for free or reduced lunch.
This ballot measure would continue that relief families felt for school lunches throughout the state. If passed, it will only impact the schools that sign up for the program.
“If I’m being honest with you, families need to make the hard decision of paying for rent or food,”
Alvarez said. “I have four jobs to be able to provide for my children. We all think about the basic necessities: where to sleep, a roof over their heads, what to wear, what to eat. But one of these necessities is always affected to be able to provide fully for them.”

husband, Josh Chow, helping draw elements of the piece.
This year was the first time Chow, a Centennial resident, participated in the Centennial Chalk Art Festival, an annual celebration that brings artists from across Colorado together to display their talents through unique pieces.
She learned about it from a calendar that came in the mail which listed different events in Centennial, she said.
“My favorite thing to do is to draw,” she said. “So I tried to draw some chalk art on my driveway, and my neighbors were like, ‘Wow, that’s really good.’ So I was like, we’ll just try.”
She worked for about an hour the
day before, outlining the piece, and began putting chalk to the pavement starting at about 8 a.m. Sept. 24.
“Everybody’s loving it,” she said, explaining she liked seeing kids and adults alike enjoy the piece.
The hard work paid off, as “Pokémon Jubilee” won the kids’ choice award of the festival, Mayor Stephanie Piko announced, once public voting had concluded.
The winner of the people’s choice award was “Untitled” by Phillip Bernal, which depicted a lion. The piece “Sunny Colorado” won the “Celebrate Centennial theme” award.
“Every entry was wonderful,” Piko said. “It was — I’m sure, as you all felt — it was very hard to decide.”
Kari Dusenbery, of Thornton, has been participating in the chalk art festival for more than five years.
Kneeling on the ground, she carefully pressed black chalk against
her temporary canvas, putting the finishing touches to her art piece of a peacock, which she named the “Screaming teacher.”
Dusenbery is a teacher herself, teaching art and design for Mapleton Public Schools.
“I really like peacocks,” Dusenbery said, explaining she envisions herself as a peacock sometimes. “I’m still beautiful, I got all my colors. And peacocks are really, you know, they’re calm. They screech a little bit.”
The night before, Dusenbery painted the black background of the piece. She arrived at about 8 a.m. the day of the festival to create the colorful artwork as onlookers observed.
“It’s been great. It’s always a fun time down here,” Dusenbery said. “They do a good job of taking care of the artists.”
Just around the corner from
Dusenbery, six employees from the Southglenn Library collaborated to create the “Library in the sea” art piece.
They wanted to participate in the event because it was a good opportunity to do something together and be part of the community, while also helping advertise the library, employees said.
Live music echoed through the streets as people walked by, many stopping along the way to admire the chalk art. A variety of booths and local vendors were also present at the event for people to visit.
Children also had a chance to practice their artistic skills through the Centennial Arts and Cultural Foundation’s rock painting activity.
“We wanted to thank you all for coming out today,” Piko said to the crowd of attendees. “We look forward to seeing you next year at our next chalk art festival.”

“The opioid crisis in our area has affected all corners of our society and all walks of life,” said Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharp, who serves on the council.
To combat this rise, the council plans to focus their funding on five issues: prevention, treatment, recovery, harm reduction and criminal justice.
“Early intervention, inpatient and outpatient services and withdraw management,” make up some of these measures, said Commissioner Carrie Warren-Gully, who also serves on the council.
Harm reduction tactics could mean “expanding access to opioid overdose reversal medication, supporting staff supply and space needs for harm reduction” as well as “mobile units and training on harm reduction” for law enforcement, Warren-Gully said.
While the council consists of mostly public officials, an advisory group — which council leaders have called a Technical Advisory Committee — will consist of subject-matter experts and residents with lived experience with opioid abuse.
This group, leaders said, will help inform council’s decision making so that “the communities that are bearing the brunt of this burden will have a meaningful seat at the table,” said Commissioner Nancy Jackson.
During the meeting, officials also polled listeners on a variety of questions related to the opioid epidemic.
The findings showed the issue had a strong presence for those listening in, which was at least 1,200, according to county spokesperson Luc Hatlestad.
Asked how severe the problem of opioid abuse is in the community, 46% said “very severe.” Asked if listeners personally knew someone who has struggled with opioid addiction, 45% said yes. And when asked how residents would like to prioritize the funds, 60% said they wanted a mix of treatment and prevention.
Residents also asked a slew of questions, including how the funds could help people with addictions who are incarcerated and what alternate forms of treatment may be available.
Gretchen Rydin, a City of Littleton councilmember who also serves as the opioid council’s chair, said addressing treatment and recovery in prisons is a crucial component of the opioid crisis and called incarceration “part of the cycle, and part of the pipeline.”
Asked about if funds could be invested in alternate treatments like psilocybin — a natural compound found in psychedelic mushrooms that has been linked in some studies to treating depression and addiction — Rydin said there are challenges.
Because the drug is not federally regulated, and its sale, use and possession remains illegal in most of the country, federal funding for such treatment is currently off the table.
But that could begin to change.
Colorado voters will be asked a question in November about decriminalizing the possession
and use of psychedelic mushrooms and allowing “healing centers” where people could buy and use the drugs.
Rydin said legalization and invest-
ment in such drugs for their healing potential could be on the horizon.
“I think we’re going to see more and more of that in the years to come,” she said.

The latest attention to the problem was an FDA warning that NyQuil chicken is not something people should consume. I’m sure I do not have to state the obvious, but I will. Who in the world would event want to try such a recipe?
Apparently, the NyQuil chicken concept came from a cooking challenge in a video that actually went viral more than a year ago. However, with the FDA just now coming out with the warning, the subject has again become much more popular.
FROM THE EDITORLike many online challenges, the NyQuil chicken started as a joke that some decided to actually try.
While I have no inclination to try NyQuil chicken — I do not like NyQuil ever — I was curious why the FDA was warning against it.
Turns out, the warning said, “boiling a medication can make it much more concentrated and change its properties in other ways. Even if you don’t eat the chicken, inhaling the medication’s vapors while cooking could cause high levels of the drugs to enter your body. It could also hurt your lungs.”
Thelma GrimesI think that’s clear enough to make me not want to even attempt to cook NyQuil.
However, this is not the first-time warnings have had to come out because of some nonsensical viral challenge on TikTok or another social media platform.
In June, the FDA had to warn people against keeping avocados fresh by placing them in water. Apparently, the video was popular several years ago, but as government often does, it has to catch up with warnings.
I have to admit while I have never stored an avocado in water, it is interesting to note that the FDA warns that doing so can encourage bacteria growth and lead to foodborne illness.
Then, you have one of the most popular/ridiculous challenges deriving from social media — the Tide Pod challenge. Starting as a joke in 2017, the challenge made its way to YouTube, pushing the Consumer Product Safety Commission to get involved and put out warnings against eating them.
Admittedly, this is one of the most head-shaking instances of social media nonsense for me. I cannot figure out how in the world anyone saw this and thought it was a good idea.
There is a question thrown out on occasion — “What would we do without the internet?”
In some of these cases, I guess we would not be eating Tide Pods.
But wait, there is more.
In France, there have been warnings put out telling people to stop getting out of their cars and dancing in traffic.
In all of these instances, the governments in various jurisdictions and countries are usually behind because a posting or challenge like these can go viral in within hours or a couple of days.
Once the governing body does try to put the warnings out — they are late and it is not always clear if they are even reaching the demographic who are willing to take on such challenges.
When it comes to teenagers, challenges are always a growing trend and many of them are dangerous. From holding their breath to dangerous levels, inhaling whipped-cream propellant and more — the internet may provide valuable education at times — it also can be a source for teaching something very dangerous.
What is the answer? I really do not know. I would say make sure to educate and watch over your children, but the problem is adults are sometimes doing what seems cool online.

Whenever he finished an amazing run, resulting in a touchdown, and having weaved his way through the defense and even running over a defender or slipping past another with some lightningquick footwork, he never carried on, didn’t even spike the football, he just glided over to the referee and handed him the ball. The NFL Hall of Famer and icon I am speaking about is Barry Sanders.
When Barry Sander retired, he had played in 159 games, had 110 touchdowns, 3032 receiving yards, and 15,655 rushing yards, for a total of 18,805 yards. Known as one of the fiercest and hardest-to-tackle running backs to ever play the game, but also recognized as one of the classiest players to ever take the field. Plenty of accomplishments with zero arrogance.
We all have completed something in our life where we had that tremendous sense of accomplishment. Maybe it was something in our personal life where we achieved a health, fitness, or financial goal. Or perhaps we completed a small project or much bigger endeavor where we took pride in the work we have completed. At work, we may have been promoted, received an award, or we were recognized for contributing to the growth of the organization. Again, it feels good, and whether we are recognized or not, we know in our hearts that we got the job done.
And as we accomplish our goals or contribute to success, people have an even greater appreciation and respect when we walk humbly regardless of what we have achieved.
There are times where the accomplishment or achievement is so amazing

that we cannot help but jump for joy and let out a shout or two. Celebrating is much different than arrogance. Especially when it’s a big win, or it’s been a long-term goal that was met or exceeded. Yes, for sure, party it up and celebrate while we enjoy those moments in time. Arrogance is when we change our demeanor, look down on others, walk with a new sense of entitlement, sharing and boasting of incredible deeds. The impact of arrogance can wreak havoc on relationships and even when making first impressions.
Recently I had an opportunity to spend a weekend with my in-laws. My brother-in-law and his wife, as well as her parents, had hosted his parents and my wife and I for the weekend at their summer home in Ocean City, Maryland. They had only bought the home recently, so it was our first time visiting them in their new summer home. When we arrived, the first thing on the agenda was to go for a tour on the boat. My brother-in-law took us around the bay and pointed out all the things and places they were excited about. We stopped at a couple of places for some drinks and food, and then made our way home.
What stood out to me as I watched my brother-in-law was his sense of accomplishment in life. He is only 38 years old, and I have watched him grow personally and professionally. He has

What can I do to get screen time?
Why do they get screen time?
Every. Five. Minutes.
One day, I told him what to expect, “We will watch 30 minutes after dinner”.
What time is dinner?

One day when I needed them to be quiet for a few minutes, I turned it on. Mind you, the ages of my children are 6, 9, 11 and 13 year old.
this new show.
And I succeeded, for a little while … B’ut then they went to cousins’ and friends’ homes, doctor’s offices and stores, and the allure of movies and shows was too much for them to
cause they started asking for it so much. But also because sometimes, I needed a rest from my high-energy children and screens were the only way to keep them safe and keep me
We started out with an hour or so a couple of times a week. But as the older kids got older, the younger kids started screen time younger and younger.

What time is it now?
Can we have dinner early?
I’m hungry now. I’m soooooo starving.
And so on and so forth.
“How did I get here?” I thought. I am so far from where I aimed to be.
What’s worse is this treatment is almost better than the treatment I get by letting them have 20-30 minutes or even two hours of screen time. Every single time after letting them watch something, turning it off leads to screaming and crying and whining from the younger ones and then even more screaming and whining from the older ones at having to listen to the younger ones.
All of a sudden, everyone is starving and can’t move because they are so tired and hungry.
But then we came across a show called “Bluey.” It was recommended to me by Lane Anderson from the Matriarchy Report. Apparently, it has won a slew of awards, including
more than that they showed growth, appreciation, and joy, no arrogance.
We should take pride and experience joy when we achieve our goals, big or small, we should celebrate and let ourselves feel that true sense of accomplishment. I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can enjoy pride of accomplishment without the arrogance, it really will be a better than good life.

When I came back to turn it off, I saw beaming smiles on all their faces. Turning it off was met with, “Mom we love this show!” And they proceeded to tell me all of the funny things that happened, then went off to play.
No whining that it was over, no crying, no complaining.
Interesting.
As we kept this pattern for a few days, I noticed something else. My youngest two who had developed a habit of fighting and picking on each other constantly, were playing better together. There was less fight-playing and more fun-playing.
They made up a Harry Potter game. They used sticks as pretend wands and the only rule was you had to act out whatever spell the person cast on you. It was hilarious to see their acting ability as well as their joy in playing this game the entire afternoon … without a single conflict!
I had an inkling it was because of
One evening my partner and I sat down to watch it to see what it was all about. Essentially, it’s 7-minute episodes of two girl dogs who take turns doing imaginative play with their parents, who are a mom dog and a dad dog. It was so simple. But what drew me in was the sense that I could step it up as a parent, easily. I learned simple ways to inject fun and imagination into my day-to-day interactions with my kiddos.
To be fair, I tried to do imaginative play with them before. But they never got the concept. They would always complain that I wasn’t doing it right or wouldn’t play along when I had ideas. So I gave up.
But “Bluey” had come in and saved us, in a way.
I still have a love/hate relationship with screens.
But for now, I’m content with our nightly routine of snuggling on the couch, just about to turn on the show and hearing my teenager walk in the door from soccer practice, rush into the room and yell, “Bluey’s on? Wait for me.”

Dustin Smith and his wife grew up spending time at their grandparents’ farms, but many years later, the Smiths’ kids weren’t getting that same experience.
So the Smiths opened The Patch, a farm in Elbert County that puts on fall festivities and provides a chance for kids to throw horseshoes, learn about tractors and pick up crafting skills, such as how to spin wool.
“We really like the generational aspect of what we do,” said Smith, whose farm has offered the event since 2017.
The Patch features a corn maze, a pumpkin patch and the chance to meet “farm critters,” according to its website. Also part of the fun: a hay wagon ride, apple cannons, roping and corn hole.
Dustin Smith’s dad — affectionately called “grandpa Smith” — often comes out from Kansas to help at the farm, and when he was at a Subway restaurant back in Wichita, somebody recognized his shirt and asked whether he was part of The Patch.
“They had said that grandpa Smith had played with their grandson from Castle Rock, and on their way home, their grandson asked where he could ‘buy a grandpa Smith’ because he had so much fun,” Dustin said. He added: “Even as far as Wichita, it just shows that people love to connect.”
People come to the farm from all over — roughly from as far north as Broomfield, as far west as Conifer, as far south as Colorado Springs and as far east as Burlington, along with some
attendees from out of state, Smith said. The farm sits in the Elizabeth area, east of Douglas County.
The event has become a staple for some who say they’ve come every year, Dustin said.
“It’s the memories that they’re going to have for the rest of their lives. This is how the grandparents are going to remember their grandkids, how the grandkids are going to remember their grandparents,” Dustin said. “Just family time together.”
The public can visit thepatch. farm for tickets or call 720-4466001 with questions. The farm sits at 39980 Fox Trot Circle, several miles north of state Highway 86.
The Patch opened for the season Sept. 17 and is open 10 a.m.6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays.
‘Annual tradition’ in Weld
Up north in Weld County, a longtime fall event arose out of a deep agricultural history.
“My grandpa and his brother bought the property in 1958,” said Rachelle Wegele, the operations manager for Anderson Farms in the Erie area.
The location was “really a tenant farm for my family from the 1950s up until the pumpkin patch (started) in 1997,” Wegele said. Tenant farming is a system where landowners contribute their land while tenants contribute their labor.
“We actually farmed closer to Mead, and that’s where I grew up,” Wegele said, referring to a town farther north.
Her father started the pumpkin patch event because some friends in another state were
holding pumpkin patches and telling him how fun it was, Wegele said.
Today, the farm’s Fall Festival includes a corn maze, wagon rides to the pumpkin patch, a “pumpkin cannon,” farm animals and many other attractions, according to its website.
“A lot of families have made it an annual tradition,” Wegele said. “It’s something that the whole family can do, from little kids up to grandparents. Families just look forward to it every year.”
The festival is running through Oct. 31, and it’s open every day except Tuesdays. Call 303-828-5210 for questions or see andersonfarms.com for tickets and hours, which vary.
The farm is limiting the number of tickets available per day, so people should buy tickets ahead of time to make sure they can get in this season, Wegele said. The farm sits at 6728 County Road 3 1/4, west of Fort Lupton and west of Interstate 25.
Suburbs meet rural feel
Started in 2001, Maize in the City provides a rural fall atmosphere near the edge of Thornton.
The event features a 20-acre corn maze, a mini maze, and a variety of locally grown pumpkins, gourds and “other fall decor,” its website says. It also offers many other attractions, including sand art, a corn launcher, “5-minute escape rooms” and pony rides, according to its website.
The event takes place at 104th Avenue and McKay Road, a short drive east of Colorado Boulevard. It opened for the season Sept. 24. See maizeinthe-
city.com for tickets and other details.
New event down south
In Douglas County, the relatively new fall festivities at Lone Creek Farms include a large array of activities.
Among them are “pumpkin jump pads,” tire swings, a large pedal-kart race track, panning for gemstones, a corn maze and hay wagon rides, according to the farm’s website. And, of course, there are pumpkins for sale.
“Since 2018, we have strived to create a fun, family-friendly environment for the fall season. We are a family-owned business, and from our family to yours, we hope to create memories that will last from year to year,” the website says.
Lone Creek Farms is open from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursdays to Sundays through October.
For tickets, see lonecreekfarms.com. The location has a Franktown address of 3879 N. State Highway 83 and sits in the east Castle Rock area, north of state Highway 86.
Chatfield-area event
Southwest of Littleton in unincorporated Jefferson County, the Pumpkin Festival at Chatfi eld Farms offers a pumpkin patch and corn maze, an antique tractor exhibit by Front Range Antique Power Association, hayrides and an obstacle course, according to the festival’s webpage.
See tinyurl.com/Chatfi eldFarmsFestival for tickets or call 720-865-3500 with questions.
The festival runs 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 7-9 at 8500 W. Deer Creek Canyon Road, just southwest of Wadsworth Boulevard and the C-470 highway.

Lights go up on a courtyard. We are told it’s Venice, California, 1982. Or is it? A long time ago, poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote a poem about the Mongolian emperor Kubla Kahn, who sought for Xanadu ... a magical mystical place...
“Town Hall has been dallying with the muses for 40 years,” writes director Nick Sugar in an introductory piece about the show “Xanadu,” which opens the 40th season at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center and runs through Oct. 16 ... We meet some of the legendary Greek muses during this festive evening ...
Tall blonde Kira/Clio (Anastasia Koshevaya) sings “I’m Alive” as live music fills the theater. She is actually one of the nine muses of Greek mythology, here in California, magically ... (Muses aren’t supposed to fall in love with humans, Clio, the muse of history, says ...)
Disco music was at the top of the 1980 pop charts and filling the airwaves, so it would seem that a movie filled with those tunes would be a hit when it was released that year ... but alas, “Xanadu” bombed in movie theaters, even though Olivia Newton- John, who played Clio, had been hugely popular two years before in the film “Grease.”
“Xanadu,” with book by Douglas Carter Bean, eventually opened on Broadway in 2007, Sugar wrote, and ran for a notable 512 perfor-
mances, nominated for four Tony Awards ... The song list, which includes the familiar “All Over the World,” “Strange Magic,” “Have You Never Been Mellow” and of course, “Xanadu,” was written by Jeff Lynne and John Farrar.
Jake Bell, California boy Sonny, is in love with Clio at first sight, of course, and the action takes place in a pink stucco courtyard of a theater, run by manager Danny
(THAC veteran Scott McLean), who worries about opening the theater “until times are better ...”
He observes Kira/Clio and is reminded of a girl he once knew ... He had built the theater just for her ... To Kira/Clio, he says: “If you run into her, tell her I loved her and I never loved again ...”
Enter two more muses: comically gifted Melpomene, the Muse of Tragedy (Annie Dwyer), and Calliope (Jamie Molina), Muse of Epic Poetry, who play well off each other and other cast members — you’ll want to keep an eye on that pair when they are on stage--it takes great skill to be that silly!
Other ensemble members are Charlotte LaFonte, Nathan Petit, Kelly Maur and Gabe Morales. Dancers move throughout in Nick Sugar’s carefully choreographed style ... everything flows smoothly.
Swings for this production include Kelly Kates, William Riley Holmes and Jessica Meyer.
If you go: “Xanadu” runs through Oct. 16 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Please note a special benefit performance for the Denver Actors Fund on Monday, Oct. 3, when ticket sales will go to this fund to help theater people with medical expenses. Performances otherwise: 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. See townhallartscenter.org, 303-794-2787.
And, most of the cast performs the entire show on roller skates! We were told that Littleton’s Skate City was the site for some training sessions and is a co-sponsor of the production, which will send one out with a happy feeling ...
Next at Town Hall: “Putting It Together,” Sondheim music, Oct. 27, 28, 29, 30. “Newsies,” Nov. 17Dec. 30.

There has always been a debate about whether tennis is an invididual or team sport.
Most people agree that it is both. The Colorado High School Actitivies Association agrees and its new state playoff format strengthens that notion.
This season, individual state championships in No. 1 singles through No. 4 doubles will be determined in a three-day tournament Oct. 13-15 at City Park. Individual postseason regionals begin Oct. 5. The team championship will be determined by a 16-team, dual-style tournament that will conclude Oct. 18 at City Park.
In the past, both the individual and team championships were decided at the state meet with teams earning points for each individual win.
“It should be the best of both worlds,” CHSAA associate commissioner Bethany Brookens said when the new setup was announced.
Most South Metro boys high school coaches agree.
“The new 16 team dual playoff is a fantastic addition and change,” said Arapahoe coach Peter Weyhrich. “It has really made each and every dual match this season extremely important. Each individual match has become even more important as
a 6-1 victory may carry more weight than a 4-3 victory. I am sure there will be adjustments made, but I think this is a positive change for high school tennis.”
Dan Padrnos of Chaparral is another coach who favors the changed postseason format for many of the same reasons as Weyrich.
Valor Christian coach Bill Epping said the new format is good for tennis.
“I like it,” he said. “It gives tennis a little more notoriety. It values the team concept a little bit more to where No. 4 doubles is just as important as No. 1 singles whereas the old format was a little bit weighted towards the top of the line vs the bottom of the line.
“I’m looking forward to the format and see how it goes. It will make 4A and 5A a little more interesting for sure and I like they kept the old format for the individual matches.”
Cherry Creek coach Art Quinn obviously liked the previous method of determing the state championship team but welcomes the postseason changes despite winning the past two Class 5A state crowns.
“It has changed and change is good,” said Quinn. “We’ll find out what it means in the long haul. It makes the postseason a little bit longer.
“It doesn’t change what we’re doing. We’re going to do what we do and that’s all we can control. We hope everybody has a great experience, all players and all programs. We’re ready to do battle.”
TENNIS, PCherry Creek wrapped up its non-conference schedule on Sept. 22 and now faces another challenge against Centennial League teams.
The three-time defending state champion Bruins, the top-ranked team in the CHSAANow.Com poll, rolled to a 42-14 victory over fourth-ranked Regis Jesuit.
Creek is now 4-1 with its lone loss coming in a 13-9 defeat to St. Edward of Lakewood, Ohio. Regis slipped to 2-3 on the season after opening the year with an overtime victory over Valor Christian.
‘We’re happy to get out of our non-conference part of the schedule and now we focus on the Centennial League,” said coach Dave Logan, whose team will take on Cherokee Trail on Sept. 29 in its league opener. “The Centennial League is the best league in the state. It’s never easy when you play
any of those guys.”
Cherry Creek, at least from the final score, had an easy time handling Regis as the Bruins’ strong rushing attack set the tone for the game.
The Bruins. led by running backs Jordan Herron and Carlson Tann, and a physical offensive line, rushed for 360 yards and averaged 9.5 yards per carry. Creek finished with 593 yards in total offense.
“It always starts with us up front and how we run it,” added Logan. “I thought we played hard. Regis is a very good team but I liked how we competed and I thought our physicality was good. We got a couple guys nicked up that we are going to have to get back. I thought the kids executed the game plan really well.”
The Creek offensive line that contributed to the offensive output included Hank Zilinskas, Ben Lastrella, AJ Burton, Taki Dadiotis and Maxwell Parrott.
Herron, a junior, gained 156 yards on 14 carries and rushed for two touchdowns. He also caught four passes for 81 yards and a TD.

Cherry Creek has won 44 of the 50 state titles since 1972 and captured 49 of 50 Centennial League crowns in that time. Bruins players have won 207 of the 349 individual state titles in the past 50 seasons.
In the Sept. 19 Universal Tennis Ratings, which is used by the CHSAA, Valor Christian was the top-ranked 5A team in Colorado and Cherry Creek was second.
Arapahoe was sixth, Regis Jesuit 10th, Ponderosa 12th Chaparral 14th, and Heritage 15th.

Tann had 145 yards rushing on 17 carries and scored one touchdown.
The final score might have been lopsided but the game was close for a while. An 87-yard kickoff return by Grant Drotar cut the Creek lead to 14-7 in the second quarter.
“It really was close,” said Logan. “It was 14-7 late in the first half. We had a couple big plays in the second
host three rounds before the championship finals. In each round, the teams will play head to head at all seven ladder spots to determine the winner and which team will advance to the next round.
Cherry Creek was the top-seed in Class 5A and hosted No. 16 Heritage in a first round match which was set for Sept. 28.
Valor Christian, second seeded, faced No. 15 Fort Collins in the first round. Rocky Mountain, seeded 12th, drew No. 5 Arapahoe in the opening round while No. 11 Mountain Vista was at No. 6 Ralston Valley.
Other first round matches had No. 13 Rock Canyon playing at No. 4 Fossil Ridge and No. 14 Boulder traveled to meet No. 3 Regis Jesuit in first round match.
Kent Denver was the top seed in Class 4A.
half and when you play good teams you have to be prepared for a dogfight. And for the most part it was.
“We scored right before halftime (5-yard run by Herron) which helped. We had a big play in the third quarter and now all of a sudden it is 28-7. We’ll take it, learn from it and move on.
“We have to fix our kickoff coverage team.There’s always things to work on. It was a short week for us. We had one less day of preparation so I was proud of the way we played.”

ARAPAHOE COUNTY NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of County Commissioners of Arapahoe County, Colorado shall make final settlement with Hyder Construction Inc. for its work completed for Arapahoe County on the project identified as RFP
Breaking into the restaurant industry can be competitive, confusing and discouraging, especially for Hispanic American chefs and workers. That is where the Hispanic Restaurant Association (HRA) comes in.
The Denver-based nonprofit was founded in February 2021 as a way to help Hispanic individuals navigate and advance through the complexities of the restaurant industry, as well as educate the public about Hispanic culture and food. The organization recruits and connects new chefs with experienced culinary personnel, guides restaurateurs through byzantine processes like the food and beverage licensing system, and ultimately builds leadership skills in the restaurant community.
“You don’t really see a Hispanic chef; you always see Hispanics working in the dish pit or doing prep, so [the Hispanic Restaurant Association] kind of gives us the opportunity to allow people to take steps up in the culinary industry in Colorado,” said Salem Mares.
Mares is the pastry chef at Nomad Taqueria + Beer Garden, located inside Origin Hotel Red Rocks. She said that the HRA helped her “push her limits” when it comes to making food. Marez also explained that the restaurant industry can be very competitive and people often have little to no support. But she said that that’s not the case with the
HRA.
“No one is ever [like], ‘I’m above you,’” she explained. “It’s always, ‘We’re all equal individuals, we all learn from each other, we all gain from one another.’”
John Jaramillo and Selene Nestor co-founded the HRA during the pandemic. Nestor said she and Jaramillo saw a huge need for an organization to help support Hispanic-owned businesses.
“Because as you know, the pandemic affected everybody but, especially minority-owned businesses,” Nestor explained. “And us being Hispanic, that’s where it hits home.”
Hispanic Americans experienced tremendous personal and financial loss during the pandemic. A 2021 survey
by the Pew Research Center found that more than half of Latino adults knew a family member or close friend who was hospitalized or died from COVID-19. Additionally, the survey found that 49% of respondents or someone in their household either lost a job or took a pay cut during the pandemic.
Additionally, a study by American University’s Center for Latin American and Latino Studies found that Latino-owned businesses were disproportionately affected by the pandemic and that “Latino business owners were more likely to seek, but less likely to receive, funding from non-governmental sources than were white business owners.”
Nestor sees the future
of the HRA as the main Hispanic serving institution that helps not only Hispanic people but all people. “We want to educate and elevate our community about what Hispanic cuisine actually is,” she said. “There’s a lot more to it than just tacos.”
The breadth of Hispanic cuisine is on display at Mares’ restaurant. The head chef, Pablo Aya, is passionate about infusing local Colorado food with traditional Mexican dishes.
“I have a really big passion for cooking,” Mares said. “I love messing with different flavors. I love messing with different food. I love putting smiles on people’s faces.”
Mario Martinez, a chef who works alongside Mares and Aya, explained that elk,
venison and locally grown produce like microgreens are included in dishes. But Martinez’ favorite dish on the menu is one that reminds him of Mexican heritage: the cricket taco.
Martinez recalled visiting his grandmother’s house and how the first thing she always asked him was, “Mijo, did you already [eat]
“So, in my heart right now … what talks to me is the food,” Martinez explained. “That, you know, you just want to welcome someone with something that you cre-
That personal touch is something Mares relates to: “I love giving people food that they’ve never tried before and different flavors that they’ve never tasted, and they can go home and say, ‘Hey, I got to have this today,’” where you touch someone with your food is what boosts my passion for food.”
As a way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, the HRA is launching Hispanic Restaurant Week, which begins Thursday, Sept. 22. Governor Jared Polis even signed a statewide proclamation recognizing the celebratory week. Day one of the festivities includes a Food Truck Festival at 6200 S. Syracuse Way in Greenwood Village. More information is available on the HRA website.
