County commissioners launch info sessions on water proposal Meetings to cover environmental, economic, other impacts of proposal to import from San Luis Valley BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the Douglas County commissioners consider whether or not to

spend $20 million of federal funds on a proposal to import water from the San Luis Valley, the county is conducting several public “due diligence” meetings to learn more

about the divisive project. In the first of these meetings, the Douglas County commissioners on Jan. 18 heard from a representative from Renewable Water Resources, or RWR, the Littleton-based company that submitted the proposal. According to their proposal, RWR would pull about 22,000 acre-feet of water per year from 22 to 25 wells in

the northern part of the San Luis Valley and would pump the water to the Front Range through a pipeline. The heavily agricultural San Luis Valley is in south central Colorado, stretching south from the small town of Villa Grove. “The ultimate goal is to provide a SEE WATER, P22

ICU nurse honored with Sky Ridge Healthcare Hero Award Council approves Lone Tree nurse Community credited for saving Protection Plan woman in Jan. 6 crash Castle Rock Fire to start implementation

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thanks to a Sky Ridge nurse’s quick thinking and the urge to do the right thing, a life was probably saved on a cold, icy highway in the early-morning hours of Jan. 6. Sky Ridge Medical Center ICU nurse Kristan Dye was driving on Gun Club Road in Aurora with her two children headed toward Children’s Hospital Colorado when she saw a vehicle, about three cars ahead of her, veer off the road. When the other two cars zoomed by the crashed vehicle, Dye said she realized there was a person inside and something told her to stop. She exited her vehicle, telling her 11- and 8-year-old children to stay in the car. Dye ran to the car and found an unresponsive female inside, while noting that smoke was starting to come from the engine. Dye grabbed her medical kit as two men who did not speak English also stopped to help. She said she was able to get them to call 9-1-1 while she assessed the injured woman. SEE HERO, P31

Capping off three years of planning, and reflecting an increased priority after the Marshall Fire in Boulder County, the Castle Rock Town Council approved the Community Protection Plan, or CPP. With a focus on protecting the community from the threat of wildland fires, Fire Chief Norris Croom explained the process to create the CPP during the Jan. 18 meeting. The CPP was developed after a three-year coordinated effort that involved a series of comprehensive, scientifically based analyses of wildfire-related hazards and risks in areas the Castle Rock Fire Department serves where wildland and urban areas meet. Croom said the Castle Rock Fire Department currently manages fire protection for all 32 square miles of incorporated Castle Rock, plus an addition 34 square miles of unincorporated Douglas County. The plan approved by

State considers bill on whether to let local public workers unionize Prospective bill could grant thousands more public employees a seat at the negotiating table

nearly 28,000 state workers to collectively bargain. Labor advocates had another win last year when they passed a contentious law granting agricultural workers minimum wage, collective bargaining and other protections. “This is the unfinished business of making sure all Coloradans have the freedom to join a union,” said Dennis Dougherty, executive director of the Colorado AFL-CIO. This year’s effort has garnered early opposition from conservatives and public sector groups, including the Colorado Municipal League, a powerful advocacy organization representing cities and towns that argues the measure would unconstitutionally infringe on local control. “Local governments and their voters are fully equipped to be able to have the conversation locally and determine what’s appropriate,” said Kevin Bommer, the group’s executive director. The conservative dark money nonprofit Advance Colorado Action says it will spend six figures on a direct mail and digital ad campaign against the measure, Gov. Jared Polis and Democratic lawmakers. And Advance Colorado Institute, an affiliated nonprofit, says it will sue to overturn the proposal if it becomes law. State Sen. Bob Gardner, a Colorado Springs Republican, argues that without limits on strikes, the measure would give public employees far too much power.

BY THY VO COLORADO SUN

A bill that would grant more public employees in Colorado the right to unionize is shaping up to be the next big labor fight at the state Capitol. The proposal, sponsored by House Majority Leader Daneya Esgar, a Pueblo Democrat, would allow people working for cities, counties, schools, public hospitals and other local government entities the right to collectively bargain. It would be a major expansion of labor rights for those workers, who can currently form unions but don’t have negotiating power over their work conditions, unless they are recognized by voters or the organization they work for. “We want to make sure it doesn’t matter where you live, you have the right to bargain,” Esgar said. Although the measure has not been introduced and many details are still in flux, labor groups say it’s the last major piece in their long effort to expand collective bargaining for workers in Colorado. In 2020, Democratic lawmakers passed a measure allowing the union for

“It’s an extraordinary, unimaginable piece of leverage being handed to public employees,” Gardner said. There’s another big hurdle for proponents of the bill: getting the governor’s approval. Polis doesn’t support the bill “in its current form,” spokesman Conor Cahill said, though he did not cite any specific part of the bill. “The governor was proud to sign legislation that provides the state workforce collective bargaining while striking a balance between collective bargaining and elected representation,” Cahill said in a statement. “The door is open to a much narrower legislation to expand collective bargaining and the governor hopes the advocates engage local governments more earlier in this process.” A major expansion of the right to unionize The coronavirus pandemic highlighted how essential public workers are to society, said Esgar. And while there are already laws that give most private sector workers the right to organize and force their employers to the bargaining table, Coloradans working for local government, schools and public hospitals and universities don’t have that ability. “Many everyday public heroes who take care of our kids, clear off roads and respond to emergencies, they don’t have collective bargaining rights,” Esgar said. “(This bill) gives us a huge opportunity to level that playing field and create equity and fairness for working families across the state.” A number of local public workers have tried unsuccessfully in recent years to unionize under current law. Last year, nurses and other workers at UCHealth and Denver Health tried to form a union, but their efforts weren’t recognized by their employers. In Colorado Springs, voters turned down a 2019 ballot measure that would have amended the city’s charter to allow local firefighters to form a union. In Denver, which allows collective bargaining by rank-and-file police and fire employees, efforts over the last two decades to bring a charter amendment granting bargaining rights to other city employees have failed. Among Colorado’s 272 cities, just 16 currently allow some or all of their workers to unionize. The forthcoming bill could grant more than 250,000 more public workers the right to collective bargaining, said Dougherty, the AFLCIO president. “You can have near-unanimous support for a union, go to a board and they can say, ‘We’re not interested,’” Dougherty said. “This should be a fundamental right.” The proposal is the AFL-CIO’s No. 1 focus this session, Dougherty said. It also comes after the union told Democratic lawmakers that it would suspend fundraising for Democratic legislative groups until May 2022 because their interests have been “excluded.” The AFL-CIO is not basing its

funding decisions on support for the bill, he said. But recent discussions with Democrats about working relationships have been productive and are “headed in a positive direction.” Many details are still unclear This isn’t the first year lawmakers have mulled whether to expand the number of public employees who can unionize. Last year, a draft of a similar proposal allowing county and municipal workers to more easily collectively bargain was circulating ahead of the legislative session. But a bill was never introduced. Esgar hopes to introduce her measure this year at the end of January. But many policy details are still uncertain, said Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat who is working on the legislation, too. “There’s still a lot of conversation on what it is,” Fenberg said of the prospective measure. “Who it applies to, what exactly it is — it’s a little too soon to say. I think the caucuses generally want to do what they can to move collective bargaining rights forward for all employees, not just state workers.” Many interest groups wait until a measure is introduced before taking any official positions. But the Colorado Municipal League said it’s likely to oppose the measure no matter what exemptions or carveouts end up in the final text. “It has little to do with whether or not there should be collective bargaining,” Bommer said, adding that the league has opposed past attempts by the legislature to ban public-sector collective bargaining on the same principle. “Employment matters at the local level should be a matter of home rule and local control.” The group argues the soon-to-be measure would infringe on the constitutional right of cities that operate under “home rule” charters, which is nearly 100 Colorado cities and towns. The home-rule status gives the municipalities the right to self-govern in policy issues of “local concern.” But if Democrats do decide to pursue the legislation, CML and Gardner said there should be limits placed on the ability of the affected workers to strike. The 2020 law allowing the state workers’ union to collectively bargain prohibits them from striking. Gardner said he would advocate for the same prohibition under the new proposal to avoid employee groups “holding the state hostage” by disrupting government services. “They would have extraordinary power, coupled with this right of concerted action … to just walk off the job of providing state services,” Gardner said. According to the AFL-CIO, the latest draft of the prospective bill includes requirements that public safety workers – people working for law enforcement and fire departments – use arbitration to settle an impasse and prohibits them from striking. The draft bill wouldn’t otherwise limit strike activity. SEE DEBATE, P3

Douglas County selects public health executive director Selection comes from California STAFF REPORT

On Jan. 22, the Douglas County Board of Health announced its sole finalist for the public health executive director of the Douglas County Health Department. Michael Hill will come to the county from San Luis Obispo, California, where he has served as the health agency director since 2018, according to his curriculum vitae. Previous to his work in California, he worked in public health in Illinois, Texas and Florida during a career spanning nearly 30 years. Hill received a Masters of Public Health in 2003 and a Masters of Public Administration in 1997, according to his CV.

When an agency’s board of health chooses someone other than a physician as its public health director, the health department is required to also choose at least one physician to advise the director on medical decisions, according to the Colorado Public Health Act of 2008. “We are very pleased to name Mr. Hill as the sole finalist for this position,” said Doug Benevento, President of the Douglas County Board of Health, according to a news release from the county. The search for an executive director spanned the nation and brought 40 applicants, according to the news release. Four people were interviewed. Douglas County voted to split away from Tri-County Health Department and form its own in September of 2021 following months of disagreements with the agency over COVID-19 precautions.

Douglas County assessor announces bid to replace Patrick Neville Lisa Frizell was elected as assessor in 2014 and 2018 BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County’s assessor has announced that she will run to replace Rep. Patrick Neville, who is termlimited, in Colorado House District 45 this year. Lisa Frizell, a Castle Rock resident, was voted in as the county assessor in 2014 and was re-elected in 2018. She worked as an analyst for the assessor’s office beginning in 1998. Both Frizell and Neville were elected to their offices on the Republican ticket. The assessor’s office determines the values for real and business properties in Douglas County. “Our state government has failed to preserve our once prosperous economy and the governor’s executive orders that shut down our state

“I wouldn’t say we’ve landed anywhere,” Fenberg said, but “everybody recognizes there are certain professions and certain lines of work that have to be there for public safety purposes.” Proponents also dispute CML’s argument that requiring cities and towns to recognize employee unions would infringe on home rule, arguing the requirement would be similar to state laws governing anti-discrimination and worker’s compensation that apply to all municipalities. Bommer also raised concerns that

ensured that we are far worse off today than before,” Frizell said, according to a news release. The announcement goes on to say that Frizell will “fight to protect” the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, “fix our tax code,” support families and communities, protect local control, preserve Second Amendment rights and defend small businesses. Frizell has served as the president of the Colorado Assessors Association, chair and treasurer of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce board of directors and is the second vice president of the Douglas County Republican Women, according to the news release. As of Jan. 19 at 4:30 p.m., Frizell was not yet listed on the state’s TRACER website as a candidate. Two other people, however, were listed as running: William Jack and Gregory Smith. In a phone call with Colorado Community Media, Frizell said she planned to fill out her TRACER information the day of her announcement. the proposal would affect existing bargaining agreements brokered by local governments or passed by their voters, and about language in earlier drafts that lay out specific requirements for the bargaining process. Workers would still need to win the support of their coworkers to form a union and go through a negotiating process with their public employer, Esgar said.

Christian Brothers revs up classroom curriculum Castle Rock business participates in Professionalism Day STAFF REPORT

Christian Brothers Automotive in Castle Rock recently partnered with the professional learning specialist at Mesa Middle School to host a career development day. Employees of the auto shop, including automotive technicians and mechanics, visited more than 100 students at Mesa Middle School for an exploration day to teach the youths what a career in the automotive industry could look like. According to a press release, the Christian Brothers Automotive

team brought in two car engines for students to explore, showcasing what each function of the engine is and where it is located. Students also got to partake in hands-on activities, working in teams to disassemble the engine. “I love getting out there and being able to teach kids about stuff like this, and give them the opportunity to let them tear down an engine,” said Robert Scherk, an automotive technician and apprentice for Christian Brothers. “They are all so excited, and I’m loving just letting them partake and watch them.” Many students asked to be a part of the career day as the date to the visit drew closer, the news release said. “I thought I’d get 20 to 30 students interested, now that’s grown

State Legislature argues over Jan. 6, election integrity Democrats introduce resolution BY ANDREW KENNEY CPR NEWS

When Colorado Democrats introduced a resolution to support their party’s national push for new voting rights laws, House Republicans responded with a mixed set of their own messages. On one hand, Republican leaders accused Democrats of trying to relitigate the 2020 election for political purposes. On the other, some Republican rank-and-file representatives introduced amendments that again attempted to undermine the 2020 elections. In a debate that lasted more than two hours, right-wing members of the House GOP caucus proposed a series of amendments to question the legitimacy of President Joe Biden’s election; support Tina Peters, the Mesa County Clerk being investigated over a security breach in her office; and thank some of the people who marched on Washington,

D.C. last January 6th. “We all could agree — those that didn’t break the law, those who acted honorably, we should thank ‘em, even if we disagree with them,” said Rep. Dave Williams, arguing that protesters were exercising their First Amendment rights. Williams’ amendment specifically mentioned Rep. Ron Hanks, who attended the rally but says he did not participate in the Capitol breach. The Republican amendments were doomed to fail, since Democrats control the chamber, and instead were meant to send a message. They won the backing of most but not all of the House Republicans. One failed amendment would have flatly declared that the state legislature “call(s) into question the legitimacy of Joseph R. Biden to be President.” The various counter-proposals also called for more auditing of election results and the removal of dead voters from election rolls. Colorado already requires county clerks to conduct risklimiting audits after each election, in which they check random paper ballots against the machine tallies. The leader of the House Repub-

licans, Rep. Hugh McKean, took a different approach from most of his caucus. While speaking on the resolution, he underlined that Biden won the election, while arguing Democrats were unnecessarily drawing the state into federal politics. “Our election systems here in Colorado work — let’s not turn how we run our elections in Colorado into yet another partisan issue,” he said. Republicans also argued that the election laws being debated in Congress amount to a federal takeover of state election procedures. Democrats said that the federal proposal was important because it responds to bills proposed in Colorado and elsewhere that would reduce polling sites, voting hours and mailin voting. The Democratic resolution reads, in part, that lawmakers “(o)ffer Colorado’s premier electoral system as a model for states across the country to adopt in order to increase voter participation while ensuring

From attorney to published author Dean Ferraro of Castle Rock writes legal thriller 12 years after first hatching idea BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A local lawyer-turned-author rekindled his passion for writing and produced his first legal thriller when he found himself home more, with less to do, during the first year of the pandemic. Starting in the summer of 2020, and continuing for almost a year, Dean C. Ferraro worked in earnest to write the book he’d conceived 12 years earlier — a tale he began back before he had children or his own law practice. “Now’s the best time,” the Castle Rock attorney told himself when business at Ferraro Law Firm began to slow down. “There’s no excuse not to get it finished.” Published in November 2021, the 364-page “Murder in Santa Barbara” follows a California deputy district attorney whose simple misdemeanor case becomes entwined with what originally appears to be an unrelated murder. Ferraro, who has practiced law for over two decades, drew on his own experience as an assistant district attorney for several of the story’s events. “A couple of the far-fetched things in my book that you would think

‘You couldn’t make this stuff up’ — I didn’t have to,” Ferraro said. “It really happened.” Inspired by the best-selling author responsible for “The Firm” and “A Time to Kill,” Ferraro mined his professional past for adventuresome anecdotes. Also like John Grisham, Ferraro went to the University of Mississippi Law School. In fact, Ferraro’s sister gave him Grisham’s third novel, “The Pelican Brief,” when she realized he’d be attending the writer’s alma mater. “I’ve always had interest in legal thrillers, ever since I read his book,” said Ferraro, who discovered he had a way with words as an undergraduate student studying political science. Born and raised in Southern California, Ferraro set his debut novel in the coastal town of Santa Barbara. It’s where he lived when he began working on the story in the late 2000s. The majority of the book, however, was written more recently from his home in Douglas County. Wanting to make his scene descriptions as accurate as possible, Ferraro ended up doing more research on his old stomping grounds than on the legal aspects of the novel, which were “second nature” to him, he said. Ferraro’s move to Colorado came in 2015. He relocated to the state looking for a “slower pace” that would grant him more opportunities to enjoy life and time with his growing children. He also opened

Castle Rock’s Dean C. Ferraro finally published the book he originally conceived 12 COURTESY PHOTO years ago.

his own law practice, which specializes in estate planning, at that time. Now that he’s rediscovered the joy of writing, however, Ferraro said he designates at least a couple of hours a day to the activity. He doesn’t want to let storytelling fall by the wayside again. “This is something I’ve always wanted to do,” the 51-year-old said. “And now that I’ve kind of jumped into it, I don’t want it to inadver-

tently get put on the back burner again.” Ferraro’s currently working on “Murder in Vail,” the sequel to his first book. He expects it will be out by the end of the year. “Murder in Santa Barbara” can be ordered through Barnes & Noble, Amazon and local independent bookstores. Autographed copies are available through Ferraro’s website, deancferraro.com.

Mayor casts deciding vote to tighten board rules Volunteer panels, including Design Review Board, to be filled with local residents BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With Mayor Jason Gray casting the deciding vote, the Castle Rock Town Council voted to require town boards and commissions to be filled with residents. The 4-3 vote on Jan. 18 means boards such as the controversial Design Review Board — DRB — can no longer have business owners who live outside town limits make downtown development decisions. However, those currently serving will be allowed to finish their current terms. While the DRB continues to be a primary focus for Councilmembers Caryn Johnson, Tim Dietz and Laura Cavey, the new ordinance impacts all town boards and commissions, Town Manager David Corliss explained. Corliss said with approval, the town will now look to fill board vacancies on the DRB, historic preservation commission and arts commission with Castle Rock residents. At the start of the lengthy discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken made a motion to essentially keep the current system as is, with Councilmember Desiree LaFleur seconding the measure.

PROTECTION FROM PAGE 1

the Castle Rock council is specifically created for the 32 square miles in town limits, he said. Croom said the CPP was a collaborative effort among the town, Douglas County and the Colorado State Forest Service. It provides mitigation strategies and tactics to protect life, homes and other property, infrastructure and recreation and environmental resources

The measure failed in a 4-3 vote. Councilmember Ryan Hollingshead sided with Bracken and LaFleur. LaFleur has been the most outspoken against changing the makeup of boards, especially in regards to the DRB. “I am concerned with the future of volunteer community and what this does to the business voice,” LaFleur said. LaFleur said current town boards are not filled with people from Littleton or Lone Tree, but instead with true stakeholders with interest in what happens to downtown Castle Rock. LaFleur said the DRB is a like an HOA for businesses. Adding to her concerns, LaFleur said, there have been years where not enough local residents have applied to serve on local boards, which has required the town to look further. Corliss said the average number of applicants for open town boards is about 60 per year, with more than 70 residents applying in 2021. Johnson countered, saying she has seen more residents than ever wanting to serve on the town’s volunteer boards. Bracken agreed with LaFleur, saying that it impacts the business community and the Downtown Development’s Authority (DDA) ability to conduct business. Corliss explained that the DDA is not part of town boards and is required to follow state laws and in the case of a significant wildfire, he said. The CPP includes recommendations for public education, fuel management, and the identification of home ignition zones, water supplies and access/evacuation, Croom said. In the CPP, the town is broken into 19 residential hazard zones, Croom said. Each zone was evaluated for a hazard risk of either low, moderate, high, very high or extreme. As a result, two zones were rated as moderate, 12 were rated as high and five were rated as very high, Croom said. There were FROM $

guidelines. The approved changes to the town ordinance will not impact the DDA, he said. After discussion, Gray said he feels the business community is adequately represented by organizations such as the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, the DDA and the Economic Development Authority. “I believe businesses do have

a voice,” Gray said. “I think we should get town citizens first. We want input from people outside of Castle Rock, but when it comes down to it, we work for the citizens.” If the town struggles to fill vacant spots on the volunteer boards in the future, Gray said the council could revisit the issue or make special exceptions as needed.

no low or extreme zones identified in the assessment. Implementing the CPP plan will help the town move forward on projects to reduce risks associated with wildland fire, with a priority first on very high-rated areas. Councilmember Laura Cavey asked if the cost of implementing the CPP will be tough after residents rejected a sales tax increase in the November election. Funds from the increase were slated to go toward meeting the growing needs of the police and fire departments. Croom said while the voters’ decision has put pressure on both the police and fire departments, wildland fire protection is a major priority, especially in the aftermath of the Marshall Fire in Boulder County. Implementing the CPP

will happen because it is a priority, Croom said, noting that other needs will be shifted. Council support is not the final step to implement the CPP. Croom stressed that developing a plan that can mitigate the damage if a wildland fire breaks out has to be a community-wide effort. Croom said if some residents make an effort and others don’t, it will not be helpful The town will be going into local HOAs to educate and encourage residents to take steps to protect homes in the case of a fire. The steps our outlined in the approved document that can be found at crgov.com/3303/Wildfire-Safety. In the same note, Croom said the town has to assess its own property in open lands and buildings.

‘Personal choices’ behind surge in traffic deaths Officials study statewide increase, with total for 2021 likely to top 700

Are you reaching your goals?

BY PAOLO ZIALCITA CPR NEWS

Preliminary data from the Colorado Department of Transportation shows 672 people died on Colorado roads in 2021, the state’s most since 2002. That number is expected to exceed 700 once final tallies come in, according to Colorado State Patrol chief Matthew Packard. During a Jan. 19 press conference announcing the record, Packard urged people to take personal responsibility for reducing traffic deaths. He said too many people get behind the wheel while impaired, or are distracted when on the road. “It’s appalling to me to think that that many people senselessly lose their lives in something that we do every day,” Packard said. Overall, the state has seen a 50 percent increase in traffic deaths since 2011, and deaths on Colorado roadways increased by 8 percent last year compared to 2020. The early count shows 432 crashes involved people in cars and trucks, while 145 were motorcycle or bicycle riders. In addition, 87 pedestrians were killed by incoming traffic. Colorado Springs and greater El Paso County had the most road

fatalities in the state last year, with 77. Denver reported 65 fatal crashes during the same period. Police officials from around the state said they plan to expand enforcement in areas with a disproportionate share of fatalities. But they argued during Tuesday’s briefing that a systemic crackdown on traffic safety is not the solution. “The causations we’ve talked about today that cause accidents, those are personal choices,” Colorado Springs Police Department chief Vincent Niski said. “It’s not infrastructure, a lot of it’s not infrastructure. A lot of it’s not about public transit. It is about a personal choice to run a red light.”

CDOT director of maintenance and operations John Lorme acknowledged asking Coloradans to be more careful does not guarantee change, but he reminded people worried about road safety that improving other transportation options would make residents less dependent on driving. “CDOT knows that we can’t grow out of this problem,” he said. “One of the ways that we can [improve] is to increase transit availability to everybody within the state.”

Children’s Hospital Colorado takes on mental health crisis Child psychiatrist appointed Mental Health-in-Chief BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the wake of declaring a state of emergency for pediatric mental health in May 2021, Children’s Hospital Colorado — CHC — continues to invest more resources to better support children, youth and families in along the Front Range. To help oversee this challenge, CHC appointed Dr. K. Ron-Li Liaw, a child psychiatrist practicing at the hospital’s Anschutz Campus location, as the inaugural Mental Healthin-Chief. Liaw will help shape and oversee child mental health vision and strategy, operations, quality, safety and workforce development systemwide for CHC. CHC has 15 locations statewide, including campuses in Highlands Ranch, Aurora, Denver and Broomfield in the Denver metro area. Last year, Children’s Hospital Colorado stepped up, calling the mental health crisis impacting young patients unacceptable. Officials labeled it a crisis, calling on state lawmakers to step up and start making changes to truly address the growing problems. After another roundtable discussion in the fall, CHC continued to press, saying some work had been

done since they first raised concerns last May, but stressed it has not been enough. Administrators at CHC have focused on the fact that fixing the mental health problems for youths, teens and young adults in Colorado is not a short-term issue, committing to a long-term fight to find solutions. Appointing Liaw is the latest step for CHC in making the commitment to find answers to the growing problem that is happening not just in Colorado but nationwide. “Now is the time for Colorado to design and build an integrated system of care for the kids and families of this dynamic and beautiful state,” said Liaw. “I am impressed with the mission, vision, footprint and the depth of humble expertise I’ve found at Children’s Hospital Colorado, along with tremendous partners who are all driving a movement of change

Doctors and pediatricians say children and families are experiencing tremendous stress driven by disruptions in daily routine, social isolation, financial insecurity and grief.

The lack of screening, preventive services, mental health providers, training programs, and psychiatric beds and residential treatment facilities for young people in crisis leads to a continued cycle of trauma. According to data provided by CHC, the inpatient psychiatric unit has been full for well over a year and the inpatient medical units and ICUs continue to admit multiple patients with suicidal ideation. From January through mid-October 2021, 70% more children came to CHC emergency departments due to a mental health crisis, compared to the same time period before the pandemic in 2019. In 2021, CHC saw more than 6,500 emergency department behavioral health visits of children in crisis, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Huasmann said Children’s Hospital Colorado is pleased to welcome Liaw because of her vision, energy and leadership, as the healthcare provider works to reimagine its response to crisis care and expand mental health inpatient, outpatient and day treatment services across the system. Liaw will be representing Children’s Hospital Colorado as a 2021-22 Aspen Institute Ascend Fellow and joining a national network of leaders to transform the trajectory of children and families across the country.

VOICES

Public Health Advisory Committee submits final report

ust last week, the Douglas County Public Health Advisory Committee wrapped up four months of work and presented our final report, on time, at the request of the Douglas County commissioners and our newly appointed board of health. The mandate of our committee, chaired by Castle Rock Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken and vice-chaired by myself, was to assess the viability of our county’s new health department and recommend what its focus areas should be. Regarding the first part of our mandate, I am pleased to report most of us found the historic opportunity to pursue a stand-alone health department, devoted to the unique needs of our county, to be a viable direction. To the credit of our commissioners, our committee was made up of a broad range of highly qualified appointees from all corners of our beautiful county and represented a

diverse range of thought and background. In fact, the uniquely capable former executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Douglas Benevento, was on our board and is now president of the new board of

health. The second part of our mandate was to recommend the areas of focus for the new department, and our top priority as a group was to solicit input from the citizens of Douglas County. We heard them loud and clear. Whether we spoke with city officials, community leaders, or fellow neighbors, the following three priorities were evident in our report and should help inform the decisions of our new board of health and depart-

ment. First, the consistent feedback we heard was how businesses operating within our county should not experience disruption. The safety and inspection duties, among other regular activities and services of a health department, need to be fully operational from day one. Second, Douglas County residents want a health department that is data- and science-driven, transparent, and most importantly, empowering all of us to make our own informed decisions. As members of the advisory committee, we conveyed to the board of health the importance of facts over politics and individual responsibility. Third, we asked the new department to place emphasis on mental health needs, as well as serving those who are most vulnerable, including our senior community. Truly, we as a county can only be judged by how we serve those who need

help the most. In conjunction with our work, we advised on the implementation of the county-wide community health assessment that gave thousands of residents the opportunity to state their health priorities. We included some of what we learned from this process in the report, particularly the importance of bridging the divide in services between rural and urban. I am grateful to our commissioners, and all of you, for the opportunity to give input into the formation of the department. With a new executive director soon to be hired for our department, I encourage all of us to do our part to make the health and well-being of our county the best it can be. A copy of the report can be found at bit.ly/3tOcbFR. Luke Niforatos is the vice chair of the Douglas County Public Health Advisory Committee.

There is no extra water for Douglas County

ouglas County Commissioners are currently considering two proposals to provide future water resources for the county. Because of our limited water resources in the state, communities across the state are connected by water. In the past, some municipal water providers have obtained water resources by purchasing water from rural agricultural communities in a process called “buy and dry.” Buying and moving water resources from one community has devastating consequences on jobs, county income and services, property taxes, and the local environment. Crowley County is one case, and decades after “buy and dry” the county is still one of the poorest in the state and snowplows are used to move piles of tumbleweeds. One of the projects being considered by Douglas County, The Platte Valley Water Partnership between Parker Water and Sanitation (PWSD) and the Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District (LSPWCD), would build two new reservoirs in Northeastern Colorado, that would

then pipe water to Douglas County. This project would provide 150,000 acre-feet (water for 300,000 houses per year) and the majority of the $800 million cost would come from PWSD’s long-term planning and rate structure. Greg Peterson Colorado shares water on the South Platte with Nebraska, and according to our river compact (agreement), Colorado usually delivers more water to the Nebraska border than necessary. On average, 300,000 acre-feet of surplus water flows into Nebraska every year. This project would divert water during high flows and storm events to fill the new reservoirs. The LSPWCD is dominated by farmers and ranchers, and the belief is that this project will provide water to growing areas like Douglas County not at the expense of rural communities. The parties in this project have agreed that there will be no “buy and dry” of farms. In fact, the

GUEST COLUMN

project includes opportunities to improve water management for farmers and ranchers. The other project proposal is by Renewable Water Resources (RWR), a water development company, that proposes to pump groundwater from the San Luis Valley in Southern Colorado, and build a pipeline to carry it to the Front Range. This project would provide 22,000 acre-feet (water for 44,000 houses per year) and RWR is asking for a $20 million “initial payment” from the county. RWR has not provided a cost for the infrastructure to move water to the Front Range or the project as a whole. Currently, there is no unused water in the entire Rio Grande Basin, which includes the San Luis Valley. All surface and groundwater have already been allocated to other uses. There is no “extra” water available to export to Douglas County. RWR would have to purchase tens of thousands of acres of farmland and associated wells, and shutoff those wells in order to move water out of the valley. Agriculture is the economic lifeblood

of the six counties in the Rio Grande Basin, providing almost $500 million annually to the local economy and producing potatoes, barley, alfalfa, beef, lettuce, canola, and quinoa. Understandably the prospect of removing water from the agricultural community in the valley has led to widespread opposition to RWR’s project, including all the local water districts, the City of Alamosa, Town of Del Norte, City of Monte Vista, Town of Saguache, nearby environmental groups, Rio Grande Basin Roundtable, and many local farmers and ranchers. Many Front Range communities want to continue to provide houses for families, and ensure growth for their communities. I believe that many people in Douglas County, also want locally produced food and a strong rural economy throughout Colorado. We can do all of that, but it does require a commitment to more collaborative and creative projects. Greg Peterson is the executive director of the Colorado Ag Water Alliance

Take the win, celebrate the victory

ongratulations! You have made it through the first 30 days of the year and have conquered all your goals and objectives, you have lived up to each resolution and commitment made on New Year’s Eve, and you have made all the desired and even necessary changes to help you achieve success. Wait, that’s not you? Are you kidding me? Don’t sweat it, it’s not me either and I would venture say the larger population is in the same boat. But wait, there’s more. There are still reasons to celebrate as we still have 11 more months ahead of us as we put this one into the rearview mirror. One of the best ways to reignite the flame is to celebrate the little wins along the way. Those small achievements and positive disciplines that are repeated daily are what will lead us to the long-term realization of our dreams. So don’t quit. Don’t give up. Instead find the smallest victory and celebrate it. Now imagine what it could look like if we just made a little more progress this month. What would the next level of suc-

cess feel like? Take in the moment and bring your future success into the present, right into the reading of this column. Achievement of worthy goals takes work, commitment, and belief. There is a Navy Seal quote Michael Norton that reads, “The only easy day was yesterday.” And when it comes to breaking bad habits, creating new and better habits, or impacting change, it’s been said that the only thing harder than the first 30 days is the next 30 days. Some will point to this as the very reason to stop. People who are willing to put in the work, and who are committed, and who believe that their intended goal or dream is still the target, they use these types of motivating statements as fuel. What are we really talking about here? We are only one month into our 2022 journey, with 11 times more opportunity in front of us than behind us. And for those

of you who are totally committed, tracking nicely towards your dreams, keep it going, you are an inspiration to the rest of us. Last year I wrote a column titled, “The 60 to 60 Success Plan.” In this column I talked about turning 60 years old, and how I wanted to arrive at that age mentally, physically, and spiritually. I talked about some of the changes I needed to make, knowing that once I put it all out there, I would never be able to take it back. This level of accountability through transparency was important to achieve my goals. Earlier this month, I hit my 60th birthday, and through starts, stops, starts, re-starts, effort, commitment, and belief, I achieved what I had set out to achieve. Here’s what was on my list of change and better habit building: 371 straight days of sobriety, 20 pounds of weight loss, 3 inches off the waistline, 42 books read, 60 new columns written and published, I wrote and published my first e-Book, 60 consecutive weeks of prayer, Bible study, and devotions, 400 straight days and

LETTER TO THE EDITOR School board majority short-shrifts locals The recent Douglas County School Board election placed four new conservative members. Many predicted, if elected, these arch-conservatives would move quickly to act on hot-button issues considered critical solely by their base and outside advocates including equity policy, among others. Not that the current DCSD equity policy is problematic, or critical race theory is being taught in our local schools. That early prediction has been validated. The new Douglas County School Board agenda mirrors those in conservative locales across the country. Next on the DCSD board docket is equity policy. As predicted, outside interests have a seat at the table; the new board invited The Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR), a New York company with a chapter in Douglas County. FAIR is staunchly opposed to critical race theory and, frankly, any notion that racism could possibly be a contemporary problem. President Peterson (new member) stated during the recent January 11 meeting, “And just backing up to the [Jan. 25] resolution, Director Winegar (new member) is running point on that. She’s putting together a draft, socializing it with some members of the community including some of our fine folks over at FAIR, [they] have a very balanced and even mind on this.” It’s worth noting that FAIR’s involvement in Colorado Springs District 11’s discussion in December resulted in dissolution of CD11’s volunteer 40-member Equity Leadership team. Now that the new board members have confirmed the DCSD board agenda is driven by outsiders, we

can drop the pretenses, right? Lloyd Guthrie Roxborough Park Dementia training needed When my husband, John, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, our family was devastated. There was so much for us to learn. When it was time to look for help with his care, we wanted to know the staff was well-prepared to provide for his needs. The most important factor in quality dementia care is the staff. When choosing a care community, I assumed that the staff was knowledgeable in all aspects of dementia care. Sadly, there were times when I observed that lack of training impacted my husband’s (or another resident’s) care. I was surprised to learn that Colorado does not require staff at nursing homes, assisted living residences or adult day centers to have a specific number of hours of training in dementia. While some facilities do make dementia training a priority, I believe all providers of these services should require it. Please join me in thanking Senator Kolker, Senator Ginal and Representative Young for supporting the Alzheimer’s Association’s proposal to require a minimum of four hours of initial training and two hours of additional training every two years after that for direct care staff at every nursing home, assisted living and adult day centers across the state. I urge Speaker Garnett, Senators Smallwood, Fields and Buckner, and Representatives Lontine, Ortiz and Titone to also support this proposal. Without proper training, we cannot ensure appropriate care for the thousands of Coloradans living with Alzheimer’s in assisted living facilities. Debra Wells Centennial

counting of praying with friends and family, greater endurance and strength as I have spent three to five days every week working out. Did I feel like giving up along the way? Several times. Did I give up? Sometimes? Did I get back into the journey toward my goals and dreams? Every single time. The hills were hard to climb, but the view from the top has been fantastic. The most important thing for me along the way was finding time to celebrate the little wins. Celebrating each small victory keeps me going as I am now onto this year’s goals. How are you doing?

OBITUARIES POLINSKI

John Joseph Polinski

SING UNTO THE LORD A NEW SONG - Psalm 96 John Joseph Polinski, 78, accordion and piano virtuoso, instrumental and vocal music educator, conductor, senior director, arranger and composer, peacefully passed on to his next musical adventure on November 13, 2021, at home in Long Beach, CA. During his eleven classroom years in the Jefferson County Public School system, he also wrote and published the “Colorado History Songbook” series that is still widely used in public and private schools in Colorado. He spent eleven years conducting vocal and bell choirs at Hope United Methodist Church, then on to Park Hill UMC and Green Mountain UMC. He greatly valued being the founding Artistic Director and Senior Conductor at the Parker Chorale, working with his daughter Alicia Pope, the Chorale’s founder and chairperson. John suffered a stroke in 2011. After initially working very hard to recover, he was able to return to his choral conducting. However, by 2013, a medical setback forced John to

return to the warmer climate of Long Beach, where he remained active in the Chancel Choir and ‘Fire Within Us’ at California Heights UMC until 2019. John J. Polinski is survived by his wife Sylvia Dunham-Polinski, daughters Alicia Pope and Bridget LePree, step-children Randy Festejo, Twila Ingram and Corey Festejo. three grandchildren, eight stepgrandchildren, and one great step-grandchild. He also leaves behind his four brothers: Stephen, Peter, Daniel and Paul, 9 nieces and nephews and 3 great nieces and nephews. The family requests that memorial donations be made to the church or community music group of your choice. A celebration of John’s life will be held at Parker United Methodist Church in Parker, Colorado and is currently scheduled for February 21, 2022, at 1:00 PM. The California Heights United Methodist Church of Long Beach musical celebration has been delayed due to the pandemic. Interment services will be held at the Ascension Ukrainian Cemetery in Sayre, Pennsylvania, at a later date.

Afternoon Tea at the Brown Palace Hotel.

Metro tea time puts Colorado spin on an English classic BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

fternoon Tea was introduced in 1840 by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, to get her through the long period between lunch and dinner, not served in her abode until 8 p.m., according to Historic-UK.com. That being the case, you might have surmised that Afternoon Tea consists of more than just a hot beverage. It always comes with scrummy nosh as well. You may find scones with clotted cream and freshly made jams, a tasty selection of sweet and savory pastries and finger sandwiches. And of course, there’s British-style biscuits to set you right. You don’t have to be in England to enjoy Afternoon Tea. There are several places in the Queen City of the Plains (and surrounding areas) where you can have the experience. Kathy Curry, visiting from Georgia with her two young daughters, said one of the things they looked most forward to this year was Afternoon Tea at the Brown.

“It’s magical,” Curry said. “It makes the girls feel like they’re princesses. And I love it too.” Morgan Bobo handles press requests for the Brown. She said Afternoon Tea has been served at the Brown Palace since 1986. “It’s presently hosted in the historic and stunning Atrium Lobby. Guests can enjoy a variety of teas topped with Devonshire cream shipped directly from England while listening to the soft sounds of the grand piano float through the lobby and natural light streaming through the stained-glass ceiling,” she said. “The rich history isn’t the only thing that makes the experience unique, as all of the honey utilized for tea service comes directly from the property’s rooftop bee colonies and can be purchased on property to take home.” The Brown Palace does have perhaps the most storied Afternoon Tea in the metro area. But recent years have seen plenty of competition spring up from Castle Rock to Louisville and all spots in-between, keeping this decidedly British tradition alive and well in Colorado. “It’s about the experience,” said Michael Herrera, proud Denver dad. “My daughter loved being able to get dressed up to go to Tea.” Elaine Bryant and her husband, Joel, a trained chef, are the owners of The Lumber Baron, a historic Bed

and Breakfast in the Potter Highlands neighborhood. Bryant says they started offering Afternoon Tea about six months after opening the Inn because it seemed like such a natural fit. The Victorian mansion is the perfect setting for their traditional English tea service featuring a variety of fancy finger sandwiches, scones, crumpets and fresh cookies. Bryant says she honed the customer service skills it takes to run a B&B serving up a different hot beverage — coffee — for Starbucks, where she worked for 13 years before becoming an Inn Keeper. Speaking of kids, Bryant said they’re more than welcome and get the same white tablecloth and antique china treatment as anyone else. “We love having children come to the High Tea,” she said. “And they love coming, The little girls, especially. They just know that it’s something special.” If you haven’t taken Afternoon Tea before, here’s a primer: Tea comes by the pot, with different loose-leaf varieties to choose from, while the treats are always served family style, but on much fancier platters than your average chicken nachos. Price covers both tea and food per person. So, no need to fuss. Just make a reservation, show up and as they say across the pond, “Bob’s your uncle.”

A thousand words paint a picture Dialogue-heavy play keeps audience engaged throughout

IF YOU GO If you go: “The Sound Inside” by Adam Rapp plays at Curious Theatre, 1080 Acoma St., Denver, through Feb. 12. Masks and proof of vaccination are required. curioustheatre.org, 303-623-0524.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s a play about writing and flows with words, words, words — and minimal action, yet one stays pretty much hooked in for most of its 90-minute run. The stage is sparsely set with a desk at each side and a couple of bookshelves at the rear against stark white walls. It beckons an audience member in ... Curious Theatre is housed in a vintage 1910 church at 1080 Acoma St., in Denver’s Golden Triangle, and offers strong productions — usually of well-received contemporary plays that have not yet been performed in Denver ... which is a good thing in my view. “The Sound Inside,” by wellrecognized writer Adam Rapp, played on Broadway in 2020 and was nominated for both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award, which speaks well of its qualities. Language flows throughout this performance — it’s a pleasure to hear the dialogue. Mary Louise Parker, who played Bella on Broadway, did indeed win a Tony for her performance. Director Sabin Epstein is a widely recognized director and educator, who was head of Performance Skills

Mikah Conway plays the role of Christopher Dunn and Diana Dresser portrays Bella Lee Baird in Curious Theatre’s presentation of “The Sound Inside.” COURTESY OF MICHAEL ENSMINGER PHOTOGRAPHY

for the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver, Head of Acting for the Old Globe/University of San Diego MFA Actor Training Program and more. He has directed at a number of Shakespeare Festivals across the nation and at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Accomplished local actress Diana Dresser, who plays Bella, a mid-career Yale writing professor, launches immediately into a reflection about her cancer diagnosis in a low-key conversational mode ... she chats

with the audience in the beginning and is soon joined by a freshman student, Christopher (Mikah Conway), who arrives “without making an appointment.” He repeats this the next day. (Conway is a recent graduate of the strong University of Denver theatre program.) Bella reminds him of this protocol and soon senses that he’s not much concerned about protocol. She also senses that he’s a writer in the making and tells him so. He wants to talk with her about his novel in process.

“Please don’t call security,” he begs. “I just wanted to tell you how much I liked the class.” Her class begins with Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment,” and she remarks that many students tend to sympathize with the killer, which puzzles her. Aside, she comments: “I did kind of get the feeling he just wants to hang out ...” She’s right ... he appears the next day and the next, with pages from his novel, which he’s typing on an old manual Corona.

Highlands Ranch rolls over shorthanded Ponderosa 69-24 game was never close as Falcons used opportunity to practice BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Alex Pirog (10) was one of three Highlands Ranch players to score 14 points in a 69PHOTO BY JIM BENTON 24 win over Ponderosa on Jan. 11.

Highlands Ranch girls basketball coach Caryn Jarocki emphasized that the Falcons’ lopsided 69-24 win over Ponderosa on Jan. 18 was important. The score of the game was never close after the start and Jarocki made sure her players didn’t start making silly mistakes in the runaway victory in the Mustangs’ gym. “We expect more perfection in a game like that, less turnovers and more assists,” said Jarocki. “Our expectations are higher. We also get to play some kids that haven’t gotten to play in a long time due to our incredible insane schedule. “We worked on a couple defenses that we’ve been working on in practice. It was a good time to practice that. Also we worked on sharing the ball. We had a couple plays that we hadn’t run in a while.” Highlands Ranch jumped out to an 8-0 lead against the shorthanded Mustangs and built up a 36-12 halftime lead. The Falcons outscored Pondo 26-2 in the third quarter to swell their lead to 48 points at 62-14. Alex Pirog, a 6-foot-3 senior, freshman Tori Baker and senior guard Emily Hovasse each had 14 points. Freshman Ezra Simonich added 11 points. Pirog. Simonich and Bailey Williamson each had six rebounds while Katie Johanning had eight

assists for Highlands Ranch. Highlands Ranch, ranked third in the Class 5A poll of CHSAANow.com, improved to 9-4 overall and 2-0 in the Continental League. “We’re moving in a positive direction, not as fast as I would like,” added Jarocki. “Movement is movement. We need to keep growing towards the end.” Ponderosa, which slipped to 7-6 overall and 0-1 in the Continental League, was without head coach Cory White and two players who were sidelined because of COVID. The Mustangs had only six players at practice the day before the game against Highlands Ranch. “We knew what we were up against,” said assistant coach Mark Roberts, who is also Pondo’s girls softball coach. “They are talented and we were pretty wounded when our head coach is gone and two of our players. We had eight players. We kind of laughed about it. We had more coaches on the bench than we did subs.” Senior Kaitlin Kyle, the leading scorer in the league, led the Mustangs with 12 points and all her points came on four three-point baskets. Highlands Ranch made it a sweep over Ponderosa as the Falcons boys team notched a 60-51 win over the Mustangs in a game played at Highlands Ranch. Senior Sasha Stelkic had 15 points for Ranch and senior Mason Moyle chipped in 14 points and eight assists. Junior Lezer Barber had eight points and seven of the 18 steals for the Falcons in the game. Sophomore Noah Wilheim scored 14 points for Pondo.

Heritage continues its winning ways Top-ranked swim team defeats Regis BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Heritage, the top-ranked Class 4A girls swim team in Colorado, proved a point in a dual meet on Jan. 21. The Eagles used its entire varsity lineup to notch a 177-138 win over Class 5A power Regis Jesuit, currently ranked third in the state’s top classification rankings. “There were some great races between Regis and Heritage,” said Heritage coach Tom Byorick. “Lord knows, we’ve come to this place many times and it was all we could do to get a win or two. It was great to come in and have a good performance. “We still have some things to work on. Overall our kids had a real good energy. This was the best competitive dual meet we’ve had all year.” Heritage is the defending Class

4A state champion and appears to have a strong team for the 4A state meet that will be held Feb. 10-11 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. “We are a smaller school and going up against a private school like Regis, we kinda always did not not know if we could beat Regis or Creek because they are always good teams,” said Heritage junior Sophia Capp, who won two individual events and was on a winning relay team. “So showing how we raced against Regis,” she continued, “it was really incredible for all of us. It boosts our confidence a little bit that we are one of those top teams.” Byorick quickly pointed out that those Heritage swimmers who did not win a race are vital. “I was really impressed with some of the character and toughness of our third- and fourth-place kids on our team,” he said. “That third and fourth spot is important in a dual meet but also in chasing a team title. I know we have some talent up top and know we have depth, it’s just that we have to make

sure we get everybody firing in the right direction, and against Regis we showed we could do that.” Capp won the 200 individual medley with a season-best time of 2:06.20 and also was first in the 100 freestyle with a time of 53.48. She was on the 200 freestyle relay team with Caroline Dimig, Elise Ramadan and Kenzie Myco, which won in 1:39.64. She was also on the 400 freestyle relay team, which was second behind the Regis foursome of Emma Weber, Faith Marsicek, Allie Sanchez and Grace Dale. “I’ve been working on my IM and I was happy with that time,” said Capp. “It was a lot of fun. And for me, the more fun, the less stress. To hang out with the team, it’s just so much fun.” Capp’s teammate, junior Aislyn Barnett, captured the 500 freestyle in 5:20.68. Weber, a senior and University of Virginia recruit, was the headline performer for Regis, which won six individual events. She won the 100 breaststroke, the 100 butterfly and was on the winning 400 freestyle relay team.

Lone Tree prepares for city council elections

A voter drops off ballots at a ballot box in Centennial.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The City of Lone Tree is gearing up to select two councilmembers to represent both city districts. The city’s regular biennial mail ballot election will be May 3. The seats held by District 1 Councilmember Jay Carpenter and District 2 Councilmember Mike Anderson are up this year. Both councilmembers are eligible for reelection. Councilmembers can serve up to two consecutive four-year terms. They represent one of two districts while the mayor serves at-large. District 1 comprises portions of western and southwestern Lone Tree,

and District 2 comprises northern, eastern and southeastern portions of the city. Candidate orientation for people interested in running is Jan. 31. A city spokesman said no one had filed candidate affidavits as of press time and the city would likely begin receiving filings after the orientation. Staff recommended a mail-in election because they generally result in higher turnout, according to staff memos. The city charter establishes that elections be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May. The 2022 budget includes $25,000 for election costs. The cost for 2014 elections run at polling places was $19,022. The city received 832 votes that year, or about 11.64% voter turnout, according to staff presentations. The 2018 mail ballot election cost $15,607 and saw 15.9% voter turnout. The 2021 coordinated election cost the city nearly $12,952 and generated 45% voter turnout.

WATER FROM PAGE 1

reliable and sustainable water supply to Douglas County water users,” according to the proposal. RWR, formed in 2018, is headed by former Gov. Bill Owens and Sean Tonner, who served as Owens’ deputy chief of staff. The proposal would use nearly a third of the $68 million that Douglas County is set to receive in American Rescue Plan Act funding. After the initial investment, the purchase price for the water rights would be fixed at $18,500 per annual acre-foot, according to the proposal. An acre-foot is the equivalent of a football field covered with water one foot deep. The project has been met with strong disapproval from some in the San Luis Valley, including the Rio Grande Water Conservation District, headed by state Sen. Cleave Simpson, R-Alamosa, and the San Luis Valley Ecosystem Council. These groups say that the project would deplete already-thin water resources in a drought-ridden community that relies on water for agriculture and its economy. The project has also been met with disagreement among the Douglas County commissioners. In a guest column for Colorado Community

January 27, 2022 Media newspapers, Commissioner George Teal supported the proposal, saying the project could help “meet our county’s needs for decades to come.” “The RWR plan would allow us to purchase primary water rights; not junior water rights that could be interrupted during dry years, when we need that water the most,” he wrote. Commissioner Lora Thomas also wrote a guest column on the topic, but she opposed the project. “If RWR were to move forward with the project to export water from the San Luis Valley, tens of thousands of acres of productive agriculture ground would be sacrificed to make water available for Front Range users,” she wrote. “This action would have far-reaching impacts on the economies, communities and wildlife that depend on irrigated agriculture in the San Luis Valley.” Now, the county is conducting a series of meetings to explore various aspects of the proposal. “There are significant questions of fact being presented by various stakeholders so the goal of the board is to engage experts on all sides of this particular issue to provide objective, truthful, accurate information,” Commissioner Abe Laydon said in the meeting. The meetings will take place through March and will end with the commissioners traveling to the valley

for a tour and discussion there. As of Jan. 21, the next meeting was scheduled to take place Jan. 24 Each work session will be about two hours and will explore different topics related to the project including Colorado water policy and law, San Luis Valley water impacts, San Luis Valley economic development impacts, environmental impacts and metro area impacts. The commissioners will also hear from local elected officials from the San Luis Valley. Residents interested in tuning into the meetings can do so by checking the weekly commissioner work session schedule at douglas.co.us/ commissioners-weekly-schedule. The county also recently decided to begin recording work sessions after questions on the practice from Colorado Community Media. Those records are available upon request by contacting the commissioner’s office at 303-660-7401 or via email at bocc@ douglas.co.us. In the Jan. 18 meeting, Bruce Lytle, an engineer and consultant for RWR, spoke about the company’s analysis of the hydrogeological makeup of the San Luis Valley, providing diagrams and simulations on the project’s expected impact. The board also heard a presentation from Mike Sullivan, the deputy state engineer for the Colorado Division of Water Resources. Sullivan gave a presentation on the

physical aspects of the region, the history of court decisions related to water there and various legal requirements for the region. While work sessions typically don’t include interaction with the public, Laydon opened up this first meeting to questions from those in attendance. About 90 people joined the virtual meeting. The ARPA funds the county will receive can be used for public health expenditures, economic impacts from the pandemic, government services reduced by the pandemic, pay for essential workers and infrastructure such as water and broadband. The Department of the Treasury will later release more details on the allowable uses of the money. The board of commissioners has said they will use the money to fund water and wastewater investments, mental and behavioral health, economic recovery, community recovery and broadband. The county has received more than a dozen other water and wastewaterrelated proposals, including one from Parker Water & Sanitation District, Castle Rock Water and the Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District. That plan also asked commissioners to contribute at least $20 million to a renewable water project. More information on the other proposals is available at douglas.co.us/ ARPA.

HERO FROM PAGE 1

“She was unconscious, barely breathing,” Dye said. “I worked to open up her airway and she took a huge breath of air in.” While waiting for emergency crews to arrive, Dye said she kept talking to the woman, telling her to “just hang on.” After a few minutes, the Aurora Fire Department arrived on scene. Fire Medic Roger Baker said he got to the woman and saw that Dye was holding her head steady and keeping her in place. Baker said the Sky Ridge nurse, about whom he knew nothing at the time, continued to help until they had the patient ready to be transported. Baker said as Dye left, all he heard her say was she was a nurse at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. Given that Dye likely saved another person’s life that day, Baker said he couldn’t just let the issue be. “What she did was make a big difference for this woman,” Baker said. “She really went above and beyond the call of duty that day. I tried to track her down because she deserved credit.” Starting with the 9-1-1 report, Baker said he found Dye’s first name. He then called Sky Ridge

Medical Center, telling them about what had happened, asking for assistance in finding the anonymous nurse. Baker said Sky Ridge staff were able to pinpoint who the nurse was quickly, identifying Dye in the ICU. In a special recognition ceremony on Jan. 19, Baker and Dye were once again brought together. The two embraced, talking briefly about the patient and that morn-

ing. Sky Ridge CEO Kirk McCarty said when the hospital heard what one of their own did, it could not just be left alone. McCarty said honoring both Baker and Dye for their work was an opportunity to highlight something positive in the medical industry, while noting it was nice to have something that had nothing to do with COVID. McCarty presented Dye and

Baker with a Sky Ridge Healthcare Hero award. Getting the recognition was nice, Baker said, but noted that it is his job to arrive on accident scenes and work to save lives. Baker said all the credit goes to Dye because not many people would have stopped and taken the time to save a life the way she did that morning. Dye said she was definitely out of her element while helping the woman she did not know. Dye said in the ICU she’s used to having other nurses and doctors available to assess and work as a team. That day, Dye said, it was tough because she knew “It was really only up to me.” After having some time to reflect, Dye said maybe she was just meant to be there that day, noting that all the elements fell into place that allowed her to act quickly and help the female patient. Joking, Dye said her two children were well behaved during the ordeal, which “rarely happens.” Ultimately, Dye said, “I stepped in because it was the right thing to do and I treated her the way I would treat a family member.” Both Baker and Dye have not had an opportunity to meet the unknown female patient that morning. Eventually, Dye said she does want to meet her once she recovers.
