School board fires Superintendent Corey Wise Trust issues mount for elected board

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a 4-3 vote on Feb. 4, the Douglas County School Board of Directors fired Superintendent Corey Wise,

effective immediately.

The decision came after school board member David Ray made a motion to postpone an official vote in favor of more time to discuss and give the public a chance to comment. Ray’s measure failed 4-3.

Ray asked what harm it would do to delay the vote.

“Not making it public. Not giving the public a chance to respond,” he

After the vote to fire Wise, Meek asked what happens next. Peterson said the district’s two assistant school superintendents will take over until a new district leader can

Voting in favor of firing the superintendent were first-year school board members Mike Peterson, Christy Williams, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar, with Ray and directors Elizabeth Hanson and Susan Meek voting against it.

Hundreds attend Feb. 3 demonstration

Roughly 20 years ago, Kaci Nice was an 18-year-old, born-and-raised Parker resident attending Ponderosa High School. The high school senior was playing soccer and preparing to graduate.

Her coach was Corey Wise. He taught her social studies class too.

She remembers him as “an amazing teacher” who was popular among students. She called him “the most ethical, caring, loving, strong family man that I have ever met.”

Now in the wake of allegations a conservative school board majority improperly asked Wise to resign or face termination as the district’s superintendent, Nice —a parent of two current Douglas County School District students — is taking action.

“I immediately wanted to stand up to that wrong that had been done,” she said.

As a part of their process to evaluate a multimillion-dollar proposal to pump water into Douglas County, the Douglas County commissioners on Jan. 31 heard presentations from advocates and farmers from the place the water would come from: the San Luis Valley in south central Colorado.

Speakers from the San Luis Valley Conservancy District, the Conejos Water Conservancy District and the Rio Grande Water Conservation District spoke to the commissioners with one main message: this plan would damage their community.

Briefly In Douglas County

Castle Rock firefighters get important protection gear Did you know cancer is the biggest threat and health risk to firefighters? Castle Rock Fire and Rescue takes firefighter safety very seriously and implements best practices for preventing cancer year-round. As part of lifesaving measures, the fire department announced its continued work to have proper protection for firefighters.

Every Castle Rock firefighter crew member is fitted for a

special mask that connects to a self-contained breathing apparatus, or SCBA. This is designed to cover a firefighter’s face and to protect personnel in hazardous, toxic, or oxygen-deficient environments — like a fire. Crew members undergo special testing to make sure masks fit appropriately and seal tightly to keep out toxic gases.

The Castle Rock Fire Department recently announced that it placed brand new SCBA into service. These new air packs have many features, including Bluetooth communications, a built-in thermal imaging camera, better air supply tracking, adjustable pack frames, and a mask with excellent visibility.

Having a properly functioning SCBA ensures firefighters don’t inhale toxic and cancer-causing byproducts of fire. This is one piece of a multi-faceted approach to the prevention of cancer in firefighters.

Colorado school board races are big-money affairs A new bill seeks to rein in donors through campaign finance limits

BY ERICA MELTZER, CHALKBEAT AND SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

In the aftermath of hotly contested, big money school board elections around the state, Colorado lawmakers are seeking to cap for the first time how much money donors can give to candidates in those races.

But legislation that passed a House committee on Jan. 31 won’t affect spending by independent committees that play a significant role in some contests.

House Bill 1060 would limit individual donations in school board races to $2,500 and donations by small donor committees to $25,000 per candidate. School board candidates are among the few elected offices in Colorado without limits on campaign contributions, and the caps proposed in the bill are higher than those for many other offices.

“Our electoral system should provide a level playing field so that every candidate has a shot, not just those with wealthy connections,” bill sponsor state Rep. Emily Sirota, a Denver Democrat, told the House State Affairs Committee.

Heated debates over COVID protocols, masking, teaching about race, and parents’ rights fueled unprecedented interest in Colorado school board elections last year. More than $2.8 million flowed into 213 school board campaigns, and independent expenditure committees spent an additional $2.1 million on school board races, according to campaign finance reports.

The measure would have had the biggest impact on individual giving last year. Of those giving more than $2,500 to a candidate, 29 people donated more than $622,000 to 34 candidates. That’s more than a fifth of all individual contributions in school board races. Nearly half that cash went to four conservative Douglas County candidates who won their contests.

Lone Tree real estate developer Eric Garrett donated $30,000 each to four Douglas County school board candidates — Mike Peterson, Christy Williams, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar. Mike Slattery, who co-owns The Emporium in Castle Rock with his wife, Andrea, gave $20,000 each to the same candidates, while Andrea Slattery gave $10,000 each.

R. Stanton Dodge, who lives in Castle Pines and is the chief legal counsel for DraftKings, gave $12,500 to each of those four Douglas County candidates.

Stephen Keen, a Fort Collins lawyer, donated $40,000 to Jefferson County school board candidate Paula Reed and $10,000 each to Mary Parker and Danielle Varda in the same district. The candidates, who also received financial support from the teachers union, won their

election.

And in the Cherry Creek School District, Terrance Bates gave $41,400 to candidate Kelly Bates, who won a three-way race against two more conservative challengers.

Small donor committees contributed more than $524,000 to 80 candidates. But in only six instances did those donations exceed $25,000 per candidate. Each of those donations went to four candidates for the Denver Public Schools board and were from two committees representing teachers unions: the Public Education Committee, funded by Colorado Education Association members, and the DCTA Fund, funded by Denver Classroom Teachers Association.

The District Twelve Educators Political Action Committee spent nearly $122,000 on Jackson Dreiling’s unsuccessful campaign in the Adams County school district. The bill would treat political committees like individuals limiting them to $2,500 per candidate.

The law already limits donations from political committees to other types of candidates. For example, they can’t donate more than $2,000 to county commissioners or more than $400 to state Senate candidates.

A series of school board candidates, some successful, some not, told legislators that the need to raise so much money deterred many people from running for office and took control of school board elections away from the community.

They also said it made school board races more politicized.

“There is an idea that if you’re funded by the union you’re left and if you’re funded by something outside the union you’re right, and I was funded by neither,” said Beth Niznik, who said she took pride in winning a three-way race for Boulder Valley school board despite raising the least money. “That is the public perception. These are nonpartisan races.”

The bill is supported by Common Cause and Clean Slate Now, groups that advocate for transparency and campaign finance reform, as well as

by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, the League of Women Voters, Education Reform Advocacy Now and the Colorado Association of School Boards.

Candidates who benefited from large donations in the most recent election didn’t testify.

The bill wouldn’t limit spending by independent expenditure committees, which are protected by the U.S. Supreme Court decision Citizens United. Independent expenditure committees may take unlimited donations and spend unlimited amounts, but they can’t give directly to candidates and aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidate campaigns.

Such committees don’t participate in most school board races, but in Denver Public Schools, independent expenditure committees accounted for about 67% of the $1.8 million SEE ELECTION, P6

Douglas County clerk under investigation by secretary of state R

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz is under investigation over “potential unauthorized imaging of a Douglas County voting equipment server,” according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

“The Douglas County clerk has failed to respond to an email request requiring disclosure of information about this potential breach in election security protocol,” said Secretary of State Jena Griswold in a news release.

The Secretary of State’s Office contacted Klotz after seeing a social media post attributed to the county clerk in which he says, “a full im-

also launched a Change.org petition urging recalls of the four directors who reportedly plotted Wise’s ouster. The online petition garnered 7,000 signatures in less than 24 hours. An estimated 1,500 teachers called out sick today, forcing the district to cancel classes.

On Feb. 3, hundreds of district staff and community members gathered outside district headquarters in Castle Rock protesting plans to remove Wise and steps the board majority had taken Jan. 25 to dis-

age backup of our server before a trusted build was done this year.”

According to the release, Griswold issued an order requiring Klotz to disclose information regarding the imaging of the election equipment server by Feb. 10.

The office sent Klotz an email Jan. 28 requesting he provide more details about the alleged backup with a deadline for response set for Jan. 31.

He has not yet responded, according to Griswold.

A spokesperson for Douglas County said they did not have any comment at this time.

The post attributed to Klotz came from the social media site Telegram.

mantle the district’s equity policy.

Students, parents and teachers began arriving in front of district offices on Wilcox Street in Castle Rock around 12:30 p.m. The crowd steadily increased throughout the afternoon.

As demonstrators chanted “transparency matters” cars passing by mostly honked in support. Some disagreed and yelled profanities.

One man said, “Your equity is stealing my daughter’s future. Get back to work.”

Nadene Klein, a teacher for the district, said she feels the current school board needs to be held accountable and abide by state laws in making decisions.

“They need to be transparent and Corey Wise deserves his due process,” Klein said. “I respectfully disagree with the board’s current point of view but I respect that they were elected. I will respect them in their decision making as long as they follow the law. I think a day out of school is worth saving three years of hardship.”

Demonstrators had several messages as they participated in the event. Some were there to throw support behind Wise while others came out to fight making changes to the district’s equity policy.

On Jan. 25, the board passed a resolution through a 4-3 vote that directs the superintendent to return in September with recommended amendments to the district’s equity policy.

Caroline Newkirk, a 3-year district teacher, said the equity policy being dismantled is a problem.

“It is an issue for me and a lot of other teachers,” she said. “A lot of time and energy was put into creating it and it should be honored so we can stand for all students.”

Dwayne and Dawn Thomason weathered the cold temperatures and snow during the Feb. 3 demonstration to show support for Wise.

Dawn, a secretary for the district, said Wise, “is a terrific person, fair and kind. He is a good person for the district and we are here supporting

for alleged unauthorized copies of election system servers.

A large group of students from Rock Canyon High School attended the lively demonstration. Several students, ranging between freshmen and seniors, said they participated in support of teachers.

Sophomore Katie Dupper said she is standing up for equity and transparency in the district, while noting that she is excited to see that the demonstration was peaceful, fun and got the message across.

“We just want to make sure we are headed in the right direction for years to come,” she said. “Our teachers need our support.”

am here in complete support of the teachers and give them the love I receive from them daily.”

Tensions around educational equity and governance of the district have brewed for weeks.

The most recent tipping point came Jan. 31, when the school board minority of David Ray, Susan Meek and Elizabeth Hanson held a public meeting alleging the board majority had given Wise the ultimatum to leave or be fired without the full board’s knowledge and without formal board approval.

They publicly accused directors Mike Peterson, Becky Myers, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar of violating board policy and breaking open meetings law.

Peterson issued a statement Feb. 1 saying the board had not taken any formal action regarding Wise’s employment status and had urged the district to keep students in school.

He vowed to respect Wise’s privacy and his legacy.

Wise has been with DCSD for 26 years, spending his entire career with the district.

Meek told Colorado Community Media she spoke with Wise on Jan. 28 after learning about the ultimatum, and she said he corroborated accounts he was asked to resign or face termination.

Meek said she could not speak for Wise when asked if he was considering the ultimatum or if he found it legally legitimate.

A district spokeswoman said she

had no updates when asked about the evening of Feb. 1 — the deadline Wise was reportedly given for deciding if he would resign — and about whether he had responded to requests he step down.

Meek said the alleged open meeting law violations were not the first complaints about majority board directors’ actions.

More than once, she questioned Peterson during board meetings about why he was referring to the

board majority as a “we” and saying the four all felt the same about certain issues, despite Meek saying she had not been privy to whatever discussions he was referring to.

“That insinuates that backdoor conversations are happening — deciding policy as opposed to talking about it during board meetings,” she said.

Board of Health President Doug Benevento also drew scrutiny from directors because Peterson was not authorized through director approval to speak on behalf of the school board.

Following the Jan. 31 meeting, Meek said she hoped the board would line up a special meeting with the full board, rescheduling the board’s retreat — which had been SEE RALLIES, P6

canceled — to discuss the overall direction of the district and discuss concerns about the board’s relationships with Will Trachman.

Trachman is the board’s outside legal counsel and had reportedly consulted Peterson and Williams about removing Wise without briefing the full board about the conversations.

Meek said she was most concerned by any backdoor meetings that might have occured, saying that conduct is something that “rips apart a community and destroys trust.” The director said she is “absolutely” concerned the attempted removal of Wise will spur teacher turnover, and she conveyed that worry to Peterson.

“We are at the height of hiring season of school districts,” Meek said.

“It’s absolutely the worst signal to give to our staff, that we are switching over leadership of an individual that they care deeply about.”

Before the Jan. 31 meeting began, Douglas County Federation President Kevin DiPasquale was eagerly waiting to see what directors would discuss. He had called his own meeting of the DCF that night, scheduling it before directors announced theirs.

It was set to begin one hour after the directors would convene.

He expected talk at the union meeting would pivot to any revelations from the directors’ discussion, but he had planned to hear about union members’ concerns with the district’s work environment.

The organization put out a 48-hour Students, parents, teachers and staff fill the courtyard of the Douglas County School District offices in Castle Rock on Feb. 3. survey to district staff roughly two weeks ago. Of 136 respondents, 61% said they are thinking about leaving the district and 43% said they are thinking of leaving the profession altogether.

DiPasquale said survey participants provided multiple reasons for wanting to leave the district or teaching. Those spanned from fears the new board majority is partisan, feeling unsafe in schools where masking is not required or worry about censorship in the classroom.

Following the Jan. 31 allegations, he said veteran staff were shocked and infuriated. The union had not always agreed with Wise’s decisions but plans of removing him in a potentially illegal manner sent shockwaves through the community, he said.

“The sense of fear and retaliation is alive and large,” DiPasquale said Jan. 31.

With teachers calling out on Feb. 3, a rally was held outside (Editor’s Note: Thelma Grimes con- Demonstrators mostly received a positive response as cars passed district offices to protest the potential firing of Corey Wise tributed to this story) PHOTOS BY THELMA GRIMES by honking. and losing the district’s equity policy.

spent last fall. Groups more supportive of education reform outspent groups affiliated with the teachers union, but failed to persuade voters. That $1.2 million in independent spending on Denver contests accounted for nearly 57% of the $2.1 million total in such spending on school board races last year.

Nor would the bill limit how

much candidates could spend on their own campaigns. Denver school board member Scott Baldermann spent more than $300,000 of his own money to get elected in 2019.

“I think the bill is going to have the opposite effect with more dark money (coming into elections),” said state Rep. Patrick Neville, a Castle Rock Republican who voted no. “I think we should be free to donate directly to the candidate and the candidate is responsible for the literature that is put out, rather than an

independent expenditure committee.”

Democrats on the committee said they shared those concerns, but didn’t see that as a reason to have no limits on individual contributions. The bill passed 6 to 4 with Democrats in favor and Republicans against. It still needs to pass the full House and Senate before going to the governor’s desk.

Sirota acknowledged the bill won’t take money out of politics, but she said the change still feels valuable.

“Anyone who follows these school board races, it’s hard to imagine it getting any nastier,” Sirota said. “We aren’t going to fix a broken system, but this is one step we can take.”

be hired.

As per his contract, Wise will be entitled to a one-year payout, equaling $247,500, according to Peterson.

The decision came after a week of controversy among the board’s newly-elected four member majority and the three members making up the minority. At issue in the more than three-hour meeting was trust.

The three-member minority said trust was violated when Williams and Peterson held a meeting with Wise the previous week, giving him the options to resign, retire or face termination from the school board’s new majority.

Peterson defended the meeting, saying it did not violate open meeting laws and all board members were notified about the meeting with Wise after it happened.

The majority members said trust was violated when Ray, Meek and Hanson held a public meeting Jan. 31 alleging the majority had violated open meeting laws in taking the action they did with Wise.

Later in the week, teachers held a “sick-out” that caused the district to cancel all classes Feb. 3. A demonstration was held, partly to support Wise, at the district offices in Castle Rock on the same day.

Wise was employed with the district for more than 26 years, climbing through the ranks to become superintendent.

As the meeting got going, Wise was given the choice to discuss his employment with the board behind closed

doors in an executive session or in a session open to the public. Wise chose to keep the meeting open to the public.

In fighting for his job, Wise said, “The irony a little bit is that this was about me and my performance. I would love to go back and have the time to go through each of those. Step those out. Find the root cause. There are times where I wonder if you want to fire each other or fire me.”

Peterson, Myers, Winegar and Williams said they were prepared to work with Wise at the start of their terms; however, they questioned his handling of the district’s equity policy and its mask mandate.

The four majority members also questioned Wise’s ability to implement the board’s decisions, alleging his alliance remains with Ray, Meek and Hanson.

Peterson said while Wise is well liked by district teachers and students, he is not CEO material.

Wise asked the board to give him a chance.

“Let us lead. Let me lead. Let’s see what can happen,” he said. “Let’s take the handcuffs off and work together, and let’s see what can happen. Challenge me. I like to be the underdog.

Let me prove myself, and if I don’t, then come have that conversation. But please don’t do it over a weekend and with the idea that the next day I have to choose to leave the district that I love.”

As the meeting was coming to a close and the final vote was being taken, some confusion came up when Myers said “no” to the question of firing Wise. When Peterson asked for clarification, Myers said she meant to say “yes” before asking for the ques-

tion again, at which time she asked tearfully, “Can I just go home?”

Hanson said it was not fair for Peterson to change her vote, stressing that Myers voted “no” when asked.

Wise did not provide public comment following the board’s decision.

Students rally after superintendent’s firing Protests planned at several DCSD schools as students urge transparency, educational equity

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hundreds of students walked out of class on Feb. 7, protesting the Douglas County School District’s removal of former Superintendent Corey Wise.

Protesters also rallied in support of educational equity, and many wore black to rebuke alleged violations of open meeting laws.

The Monday walkouts were organized over the weekend after the district’s school board voted 4-3 on Feb. 4 to fire Wise without cause. Wise had spent his entire 26-year career with the district, starting as a student-teacher and climbing the ranks. He was named the district’s superintendent last year.

At Legend High School, dozens of students gathered around the school’s flagpole shortly after 1 p.m., holding signs and shouting, “We support our teachers.” Earlier in his career, Wise opened Legend as its founding principal, and later left for a job in central district administration.

In Castle Rock, 16-year-old Gabby Hooper walked out of class in protest of the board’s choice to remove Wise, saying it disrespected teacher voices.

The junior at Castle View High School said she is disappointed “and really scared for the future of our district.”

She believes firing a superintendent whom she knew to be well respected among staff will lead to teacher turnover. She watched the Feb. 4 special meeting with worries about its ramifications for the quality of education in DCSD. “I just immediately thought about how many people this is going to affect, how big the cost would be to our district, and not just monetary cost, but also a personnel cost. How many good teachers we’re going to lose because of this,” she said.

Hooper said she is frightened “seeing the really intense division that exists” in her district community.

Protests and rallies were held before and after the board’s decision to fire the PHOTOS BY THELMA GRIMES superintendent.

Besides the equity policy, parents, students and teachers in the district expressed concerns over losing Corey Wise.

Political division across the county is showing the most in local education, she said.

Hooper hopes the board prioritizes keeping good teachers in the district and working together.

“The really intense hatred and division and rhetoric going on at the board meeting is because of their refusal to work together and I just think something needs to change if we want anybody in our district to feel safe in the education system,” she said. “And that goes for staff and students.”

The student protests were the latest amid widespread reaction to Wise’s firing and allegations a conservative school board majority plotted to remove him in closed-door meetings.

The board minority of directors David Ray, Susan Meek and Elizabeth Hanson called a public meeting on Jan. 31, where they alleged directors Mike Peterson, Becky Myers, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar quietly agreed to remove Wise and then gave him a private ultimatum — resign or be fired.

On Feb. 3, many district teachers participated in a sick-out. Roughly 1,500 staff called out, forcing the district to cancel classes. Hundreds of district employees, students and community members rallied in Castle Rock outside the district administration building in support of Wise and the district’s equity policy, another source of contention in the community.

The board majority had moved in a 4-3 vote on Jan. 25 to adopt a resolution that directs the superintendent to return in September with recommended changes to the district’s equity policy.

Amid the controversy, 10 former Douglas County School Board directors signed an open letter calling on the current board directors to “commit to completing the appropriate study, education and and/or (sic) training necessary to help them understand the scope of their individual authority and duties to our Douglas County community.”

Denver Public Schools Board Director Tay Anderson released a letter on Feb. 5 bearing the names of more than

50 current and former Colorado school board directors.

The joint statement said the directors are “both shocked and disappointed by the unprecedented action to terminate Superintendent Corey Wise without cause” by the newly-elected Douglas County School Board members. The letter called removing Wise without cause, without public engagement and despite strong pushback “a failure of governance.”

The special meeting during which directors terminated Wise was held without public comment. Peterson said the district had received an outpouring and sufficient public comment throughout the week, while Ray called voting on Wise’s termination without allowing public comment during the meeting a travesty.

Backlash has also landed in court.

Highlands Ranch resident Bob Marshall filed a lawsuit on Feb. 4, alleging the board majority broke open meeting laws by using what’s sometimes referred to as “walking quorums” or “daisy-chain” meetings. The practice involves elected officials meeting twoat-a-time to discuss public business in order to evade quorum rules laid out in Sunshine Laws.

The lawsuit sought to stop the Feb. 4 special meeting with a temporary restraining order, but a judge did not have time to review it before the meeting took place, Marshall said.

Marshall said the case will move forward with a preliminary injunction hearing in a couple of weeks. If a judge rules in his favor, Marshall hopes the lawsuit results in a permanent order barring the school board directors from utilizing walking-quorums again.

Colorado Community Media submitted interview requests with directors Peterson, Myers, Williams and Winegar regarding the lawsuit.

“We are unable to comment on pending litigation,” district spokeswoman Paula Hans said.

In the Feb. 5 meeting, all four majority board members emphatically denied breaking open meetings laws. Williams stressed she did not speak with more than one other board member at a time and maintained she “followed the law to the letter.”

“We stand by the way we handled it,” Peterson said.

VOICES

The kinder, the better

O

n mornings where I am dropping my boys off to school, I often tell them three specific things. “Be good. Be kind. Be smart.” I stress those are in order of importance. I know they are smart and will learn, but I want them to be good, kind people first.

FROM THE I was recently disheartened when the Children’s Museum anEDITOR nounced it would be closed from Jan. 26 through Feb. 4. They were not closing for remodeling or COVID. In this case, the 50-year favorite in Denver had to close to give staff some much-needed time off.

It was not time off from work. It was time off from an increasingly rude public.

“We know the stress of the Thelma Grimes last two years has taken a toll on everyone in our community, but regrettably, some guests who object to the museum’s masks have been inappropriately directing their anger toward our staff,” the notice read.

So much anger had been directed towards the staff that the museum thought the best thing was to close its doors.

While I understand the frustrations with masks, COVID and a world that seems to be ignoring our voices, our votes, and our feelings – I hate what we are becoming. Those frustrations are being pushed on innocent people.

I, like many, am getting saddened by the bad behavior displayed just because we don’t agree with something. In this case, it is the Children’s Museum, which means the bad behavior being displayed is likely in front of impressionable children who are growing to think it is an acceptable way to act.

It is not just the Children’s Museum either. I have seen this behavior from adults at schools, groceries, youth sports, stores and everywhere.

There is a saying I believe in, “Attitude reflects leadership.” It is not that surprising that citizens are behaving this way. Just look at our leaders in Washington, at the state level and in our local communities. We are behaving just as our leaders are behaving.

One leader I have been impressed with over the last year has been Castle Rock Mayor Jason Gray.

While Castle Rock citizens may or may not agree with how he votes, he continually asks for civility among the council and in the community.

We need all our leaders to lead by example. Mayor Gray does not just say that. I have not seen him lose his cool or be disrespectful, and anyone who watches Castle Rock knows the debates over the Design Review Board can be tense.

As citizens, even if our leaders of this country cannot do it, I hope we can start leading by example again and checking our attitudes at the door and using good manners even in situations that are extremely frustrating.

I want my children to be kind, good people. I work hard to set that example. I must admit, in the last two years, I too have had a few moments of weakness of which I am not proud. However, I work hard to remember those trying to enforce the rules are definitely not the ones who made them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR For the past few years our daughter has proudly, and compassionately, given five scholarships valued at $2,000 per scholarship through a foundation called Future Hope.

We set this nonprofit up after she was hit by a train on her way to DCHS in 2002..

Under the leadership of Corey Wise, five students were picked from various High Schools within the district.

The only criteria was that the students were facing, and working hard, in overcoming adversity.

We are stunned by your politically driven decision to remove such a thoughtful educator.

This appears to be a vindictive action that you pushed through with maximum disregard for the students of this district.

We are extremely disappointed, frustrated, and contemplating how to move forward with our Foundation.

Dave and Becky Martin Castle Rock Do public business in public While DCSD Board President Peterson and Director Williams may not have violated the letter of the Colorado Sunshine Law (Colorado Open Meetings Law), they violated the spirit, by individually conspiring among the four newly elected school board directors, then by taking unsanctioned action by giving Superintendent Corey Wise an ultimatum to

resign or be ousted by the newly elected majority, without holding a public discussion or involving the minority three directors. I call on the Douglas County School District Board of Education directors to follow the law, both in letter and spirit. Public business is conducted in public forums.

President Mike Peterson and Director Christy Williams also violated DCSD Policy BE. This states that no public business may be conducted unless a quorum is present. Meetings where policy is discussed or decisions are made are to be open to the public. Giving an ultimatum to the superintendent is public business.

President Peterson and Director Williams — respect for the rule of law is our societal compact.

Acknowledge your errors. Follow policy and law.

Eiko Browning, MD Highlands Ranch Stick with equity policy Douglas County’s newly elected school board directors have stirred opposition to the Educational Equity Policy (EEP) for political advantage, appearing on Fox News to falsely call it Critical Race Theory. Community stakeholders collaborated on the EEP over two years. It directs the district to develop “inclusive culture to ensure all students, staff, and community members feel safe and valued by increasing and embedding authentic and rel-

evant learning opportunities and experiences involving inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility.” Even though the inclusive culture benefits all students, our new Directors have taken the advice of a national political group called FAIR and have directed staff to develop their own alternative policy.

The evidence is clear that the EEP, as written, is imperative; in the last two years, a high school was tagged with the “n word,” a school board director endured racial slurs and physical aggression, and Colorado Community Media documented students’ experiences with racism in school.

An anti-Muslim hate group is active in Highlands Ranch, and Colorado is third in the nation for youth-targeted white supremacist propaganda.

Enough. We all agree our kids need to feel safe at school in order to thrive academically. Let’s trust our educators to effectively implement the EEP in line with our DCSD Strategic Plan. Let’s not cede local control to outside political operatives, again. Please let your BoE directors know that you support the original Educational Equity Policy.

They fired him. Just like that.

After only two months in office, the four newly elected member-majority of the Douglas County School Board fired Superintendent Corey Wise in a hastily called Feb. 4 meeting. They did not cite his performance. They did not allow public comment.

Exact motive for his swift removal was unclear. Unspoken. Troubling.

And, just like that, a school district that like so many across the country has battled through a most challenging three years, was further upended, doubt, frustration and discouragement surging among so many exhausted but passionately committed teachers and an already polarized community.

“It’s … heartbreaking and gutwrenching,” a 13-year teacher in the district said of Wise’s firing. “The thing I can’t get over is why? When they were asked over and over again why, it was a ‘lack of trust’ or a ‘different vision,’ but nothing about his work or ability to implement the directives of the board.”

Wise has spent his 26-year career as a teacher and administrator in the district. He stepped in as co-leader and later interim superintendent of the district when former superintendent Thomas Tucker left in 2020. He was named permanent superintendent last April — the third superintendent in five years — following a national search.

As with so much of the narrative surrounding school issues nationally the past three years, the situation in Douglas County is complex. As a community, we are variously passionate about where we stand on masks, COVID restrictions and equity policies, which along with transparent governance, repeatedly emerged as underlying themes during the Feb. 4 meeting.

No doubt, we are a county and school district divided. But this is the thing: Shouldn’t our leaders embody the values of respect and integrity we teach in our classrooms? Shouldn’t they listen

to one another with open minds and seek common ground?

I was a Douglas County teacher for 10 years — I retired last May. I loved my students. I loved being with them. They challenged me, made me laugh every day.

Made me a better person. I miss them.

Ann Macari We all brought Healey our backgrounds, life experiences and beliefs with us as we walked through the door. Those could show up in class discussions, conversations or unexpected blurted-out comments, as teenagers are sometimes prone to do (adults too!). Listening to each other without immediate judgment, being willing to acknowledge that others might think differently — and understanding those ideas were deserving of consideration — was important to creating a place of respect and learning.

Students can be very good teachers.

I expected students’ best work in return for the hard work and professionalism I gave them. I expected integrity in that work just as they expected it from me, an implicit contract that what we did and said was true and honest and trustworthy.

So these are the values that I’m looking for from district leadership: Respect. Truth. Honesty. Trustworthiness.

Yes, a four-vote majority wins and gets to hire the superintendent it wants.

But they did so while trampling on these values. They didn’t bother to listen to views from teachers and parents and students. That was wrong.

If you listen to the Feb. 4 board meeting, you’ll hear differing interpretations as to whether the Colorado Open Meetings Law was violated when majority board members asked

LETTERS

But to do so sneakily and in the dark demonstrates a lack of character and competence that should concern all Douglas County residents.

Even worse, after receiving secret advice from the general counsel of a right-wing advocacy group, the board majority sought to circumvent Colorado’s Sunshine Laws by coming to a collective agreement among themselves, and taking collective action, while maintaining they “technically” didn’t violate Colorado’s Open Meeting Law because they only spoke to each other individually. The legislative direction for COML is to give it a broad interpretation to execute its intent, which Colorado courts have done. A competent judge will likely not be amused by this effort to circumvent transparency laws and find that the four majority board members violated the law by engaging in a “meeting” within the meaning of the statute.

But one should not need laws to do the right thing. The day before the sick-out, more than 1600+ teachers had called in sick, with many more intending to call in that same morning. The board majority can listen to these 1600+ teachers now, or listen to 1600+ feet walking out of the district over the next nine months. The wise listen. Fools are deaf.

not care so much. Only five years ago Douglas County voted out a group of conservative school board “reformers” because their six-year experiment in vouchers and other measures led to low morale and high attrition among school employees. And now Douglas County has voted them back in again. Can memories really be so short? n We are hardly a month into their a new term and already the new board h members have eliminated masking requirements, changed the district’s equity policy, held a potentially illegal meeting aimed at pushing out the district’s superintendent and provoked a sick-out among the district’s employees. Elections have consequences and Douglas County schools are about to pay the price for their voters short memories.

GUEST COLUMN

Wise to resign or face termination, as the minority board members allege.

But there’s no doubt the move’s lack of transparency raised the specter of back-room sneakiness and politics at play. The spirit of the law most certainly was broken.

And now Wise, widely respected and beloved throughout the school community for his dedication to ensuring teacher and student success, is gone.

Many teachers and parents worry about a repeat of the exodus of hundreds of teachers and administrators that occurred in the years leading to the departure of Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen in 2016, caused by policies enacted by her and a conservative reform-minded board.

“We will lose so many teachers and administrators, and rightfully so,” a 24year veteran teacher said. “Jeffco and CCSD (Cherry Creek School District) have certified job fairs the next couple of weekends. They will be flooded with excellent applicants from DCSD … People need to stay and fight, but at what cost?”

The new board majority should remember that although it won 55% of the vote in November, 45% of voters supported the incumbent candidates — a clear reflection of the community’s division.

School board power seesaws as issues, politics and allegiances change over the years. That will, assuredly, continue to happen. But in these fraught times, we need leaders who purposefully work to represent all of us — even when that means decisions may not align neatly with personal beliefs — and whose actions are cause for applause, not tears.

A 2017 graduate of Legend High School posted this comment on Facebook following the Feb. 4 meeting. She met Wise as a freshman, when he was the school’s principal.

“I’ve seen so many changes in Douglas County, good and bad, but few have weighed so heavy in the hearts of this community as what took place at the board of education meeting tonight,” she wrote. “Leading a district is tough, and I don’t think anyone doubts that, but no single meeting or no single decision should leave so many teachers and so many families let down, heartbroken, and scared.”

LIFE

Local couples reflect on joys, challenges of working together

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Quality time is described as one of the five love languages, but couples must figure out how much time is best. For couples who work together, that can be challenging.

Oftentimes, work dominates conversation and decision making at home. Disagreements from home linger at work, or vice versa. The couple coordinates work schedules around children or other responsibilities, while also trying to find time for date nights.

Then again, who better to work alongside than someone who has the same values, goals, interests, motivations and work ethic?

“Sometimes, it’s fun working together,” Dustin Barrett said. “Sometimes, it’s not.”

Dustin and Amy Barrett own and operate Tables, a restaurant in Denver’s Park Hill area, and Amy said she couldn’t have done it during the last two years with anyone else.

“He’s the only person I’d be in business with,” she said.

Ali and Dave Meyers, who both teach at Evergreen High School, said they appreciate having someone who understands stories about work and can offer professional advice.

“I’m very happy with my life, and I’m very happy with my wife,” Dave said.

Justin and Tyler Fukae have been working shoulder to shoulder lately at their Georgetown store, Sabel.

Tyler recently left his full-time job, and since then, he and Justin have been prioritizing Sabel and quality time as a couple.

They’ve found their personalities and backgrounds perfectly complement each other. Justin focuses more on customer interaction and merchandise curation, and Tyler handles the store’s bookkeeping and management.

“It’s like, `Look at what we created together,’” Justin said. “We see both of ourselves in it. I don’t think the store could run without both of us.”

Amanda and Ryan Cooper, who run Cooper’s on the Creek in Georgetown, said they try not to let work impact their home life and vice versa. But, they acknowledged, the two are ultimately one and the same.

SEE PARTNERS, P13

Lakewood’s Tyler and Justin Fukae opened Sabel in Georgetown last year and are launching a second location on Denver’s South Pearl Street. The two said the business, which offers products that are both sustainable and practical, combines both of their talents and is something one couldn’t run without the other. “We see both of ourselves in it,” Justin said.

Tyler and Justin Fukae prepare a package for customers Jan. 28. The two typically work at their Georgetown store, Sabel, on Mondays, but said they’ll likely take off Valentine’s Day to go on a day trip and have a nice dinner.

PARTNERS FROM PAGE 12

“I think strong partners in life make strong business partners,” Ryan said. “Both kinds disagree, but you get through it because you have come to a consensus.”

Running Tables Amy and Dustin Barrett’s wedding registry included items they wanted for their restaurant, Tables. The two opened the chic American eatery at 2267 Kearney St. in 2005 and were married a few months later.

The two met while working at Denver’s Strings restaurant, where Amy hired Dustin. When they initially opened Tables, the two were in the kitchen together, but Amy moved to more front-of-house duties when they had their daughter.

The Barretts, who live a few blocks away from Tables, said every evening at the restaurant is unique. There’s an adrenaline rush to the business, Amy explained, as variables evolve throughout the night.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent employment and supply chain crunches have been some of the toughest challenges they’ve ever faced in their working lives. Amy said it’s been even more difficult than when Tables first opened, and it’s required a lot of problem solving, Dustin added.

Still, they’d rather work together than work for anyone else, the Barretts said.

They understand each other’s decisions, and there’s an existing level of trust between them, Amy said.

While Dustin said he’s seen other couples’ relationships suffer from working together, he and Amy have accepted that their work lives and home lives are intertwined.

“This place is part of us,” Dustin said of Tables.

Chemistry in biology class Evergreen’s Ali and Dave Meyers say they have more in common than just biology.

They’re both former college athletes, and they both love outdoor activities.

The two met 18 years ago while working at Evergreen High School.

Ali, who’s an EHS alumna, described how they were initially friends until Dave asked her out. Now, they’ve been married 12 years and have two children.

And though they work at the same school, the two don’t really work together. He and Ali work with their respective students and have minimal interaction throughout the school day.

Still, the biggest hurdle has been scheduling, they said.

Dave, who teaches honors and AP biology, described how they’ll have parent-teacher conferences at the same time and need to find someone to watch their children. However, having the same work schedule also means they have the same days off.

Ali, a former biology teacher who’s now an intervention specialist, said being in the same profession means she and Dave have the same values.

They’ve ultimately helped each other become better teachers.

“My life is here; it doesn’t feel like a job,” she said. “My friends and family are here. My community is here.”

Feeling like home After being busy with work, school and military service, Lakewood’s Justin and Tyler Fukae wanted to start a business together.

The two met almost five years ago in New Orleans. Justin moved frequently for military service, but once he was discharged, the two started Sabel last year.

The store at 507 Taos St. in Georgetown offers sustainable yet practical wares, and the Fukaes are opening a second location on Denver’s South Pearl Street.

Before leaving his job last month, Tyler worked on Sabel in his spare time. Now, they’re enjoying working side by side in Georgetown and wonder how the second location will impact that dynamic.

Tyler said he’s enjoyed seeing a side of Justin he usually doesn’t — in his element at Sabel.

For anyone looking to start a business with their significant other, Justin recommended: “It’s about knowing your talents, about respecting them, and trusting that they’ll do their part.”

Stars align over Clear Creek If someone had asked Georgetown’s Amanda and Ryan Cooper 15 years ago if they could work together, they would’ve said “no.”

But, as Amanda said, “It’s different when it’s your livelihood and something you build together.”

The Coopers have worked in the

Amy Barrett confirms reservations for Valentine’s Day while she and her husband, Dustin, go over Tables’ operations Jan. 28. The Barretts said they always work on Valentine’s Day, because “it’s like tax day for an accountant,” Amy explained.

service and hospitality industry their entire careers and met 19 years ago while working at a San Diego restaurant. They married 12 years ago and moved to Denver, where Amanda is from.

In September 2015, they were asked to consult for someone opening a restaurant in Georgetown and were eventually invited to run it. They decided they would do it if everything fell into place, and it did.

The building’s major renovations were completed, the funding came

With two kids, Amanda’s worked from home as needed, so she and Ryan aren’t always at work simultaneously. She said operating the restaurant together, though, requires constant support, reciprocal respect and compromise.

“We’re lucky,” Ryan said. “Not everybody can work together like this.”

‘The Liar’ revels in the stupidity and power of love

ny and all muscles lose their strength if they’re not used. Even comedic ones. So, when it comes to putting on a production after two very strange years, it’s understandable that rust needed to be shaken off at first.

“All of us haven’t flexed these muscles in a while,” said Geoffrey Kent, who is directing “The Liar,” the first show at the Arvada Center of 2022. “The process might have started a little slower than normal, but the central muscle of the theater is collaboration. We’re learning to collaborate together again.”

“The Liar” - the first of the Arvada Center’s three repertory shows for the season - runs at the center’s Black Box Theatre, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, May 22. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Audiences are required to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 and must always wear a mask.

The comedy is written by David Ives and adapted from a 17thcentury play by French playwright Pierre Corneille hilariously demonstrates the reason many of the romantic comedy cliches have stuck around as long as they have.

Because they still work, centuries later. A string of misunderstandings, mistaken identities and outright fabrications build to laughs aplenty, all moved forward several

“I like moving plays to places where audiences can connect to them. I don’t want people to get nothing out of it thinking, `Gee that was a long time ago and we’re not like Clarke Reader that anymore,’” Kent said. “The sets and costumes are glorious and overall, I think the word is euphoria. The show is loose and free like in the 1960s and audiences should leave the play in a great mood and ready to be adventurous.”

It’s also fitting that “The Liar” premiered not long before Valentine’s Day because it celebrates the humor and power of searching for love - something that has inspired and entertained as long as we’ve been telling stories. After all, there’s a reason romantic comedies are so popular - because it’s fun (and dare I say it, moving) to watch people fall in love.

“There’s no other production of this show like ours and I’m excited to see it grow over its run,” Kent said. “The show isn’t just escapist - it can be empowering to see a bunch of people fall in love because it reminds you to do that or reinvest in that love if you already have.”

Do you remember the time?

L

ast week a good friend of mine and former neighbor, Steve, posted something on his Facebook page. It was a story of road trips he would take with his family and all the sights, sounds and feelings that were shared along the way. And more importantly his message was about the memories that were created and how looking back on them now, they held even deeper meaning.

Having grown up with grandparents who liked to take long road trips too, his story inspired me to reflect on some of those trips. And it also gave me a reason to ask my own children what they remembered and enjoyed the most about our own cross-country trips each year. I wondered and hoped that one day that they would also look back on our many journeys with happy memories. Memories that perhaps shaped their lives today.

And it’s more than road trips, isn’t it? Doesn’t it just feel incredible when we can reflect on life’s experiences that we enjoyed with our family and friends? Isn’t it wonderful when a sound, sight, or even smell brings us back to a place and time that fills us with joy? Or an old photograph we find while cleaning out our desk, basement, office, or attic. This happened to me recently as I was reorganizing my office. I would pause as I found photos of friends

and family and explore the picture and the scenery and remember exactly what was happening when the picture was taken.

Recently I was spending time with a friend who was grieving the loss of Michael Norton a loved one. Their family member had lived a full and good life. As we talked, cried and laughed, I asked them what they remembered most about the family member who had passed away. My friend reflected for a moment and then started rattling off all the best and funniest memories that they had had together. Tears welled up in their eyes when they remembered the sweetest moments, and even the most difficult seasons of life.

Do you remember the times that you have experienced with your family and friends? Do you allow yourself the time to revisit and reflect on your good and happy memories? I share this with you because at a time where many are feeling the stresses of the past two years, we need to remember that even during these trying times, we have plenty of opportunities to create new, happy and lasting memories. And one day, we will all look back on this season of life and ask the person sitting

WINNING WORDS

with us, “Do you remember the time when during the pandemic we…?”

The choices we make today will be the events we remember tomorrow and in the years that follow.

The life and the trips and the stories we write today will be told amongst our family and friends in the future. And one day when we are all sitting around the table or in the car on a road trip, we will be asking that same question, “Do you remember the time when we…?”

What would you like those conversations to feel like and sound like? What do you hope your family members and friends will remember most about your time together? I love this quote by Maya Angelou that underscores this point, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” How do you

want people to feel when they remember their time spent with you?

Road trips, vacations, conferences, Sunday family dinner, game night, movie night, church, dinner out with friends, birthday parties, weddings, anniversary celebrations, funerals and memorial services, and just life in general give us so many opportunities to create and capture so many beautiful and wonderful memories. What are your favorite memories? I would love to hear all about them at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we take the time to focus on those beautiful memories, it really will be a better than good year.

SPORTS Valor, Regis fight hard to tie in hockey

1-1 contest between prominent teams featured fierce competition

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian’s boys hockey coach George Gwozdecky got what he was seeking in the Feb. 1 game against Regis Jesuit at the South Suburban Sports Complex.

Oh for sure, Gwozdecky would have preferred a victory, but the 1-1 tie against the Raiders was the tough, hard-fought game that he figured his team needed.

Regis and Valor are two of the state’s prominent hockey programs.

The Raiders, five-time state champions who have at least made it to the semifinals for 14 straight seasons, entered the game second in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A state rankings.

The Valor Eagles, which has captured the state title the past two years, was ranked fourth in the state poll.

“I was really hoping to have a really high-intensity, competitive game for us because we needed it,” said Gwozdecky. “We needed a tough game where we had to figure out ways to overcome adversity. Certainly Regis gave us that.”

Regis held a 32-23 edge in shots on goal, including a 11-3 advanatge in the opening period. The Raiders got the first goal when Carter Lutz scored just nine seconds into the second pe-

riod. Caden Balatbat and Jacob Zinno assisted on the goal.

Valor tied the game at the 14:66 mark of the second with a shorthanded goal by Noah Fekete, who is the team’s leading scorer with 19 points.

Owen Walsh picked up an assist to give him 17 points on the season.

“Our first period without a doubt was our poorest period,” said Gwozdecky. “We made some adjustments after the first period and because of those adjustments we were able to

put more pressure on Regis and we started getting our game going.

“They scored first and we were chasing the game from that point on. It was certainly what the doctor ordered as far as what we needed. It was a test for us.”

Raiders goaltender Gage Bussey made 22 saves in the game while Valor’s Cooper Robinson stopped 31 shots. Valor outshot the Raiders 4-2 in the overtime session.

“I thought our goaltender played

well and I thought Bussey played well in their goal,” added Gwozdecky.

“Both teams had chances coming down the stretch. We hit three crossbars. I think both teams expected to battle like that.”

Both teams had three games remaining in the regular season and after the tie, Regis’ record was 13-1-2.

Valor was 11-3-1.

“It was a good game,” said veteran Regis coach Dan Woodley. “Both teams had chances.”

Coach has high hopes for Littleton girls Hoops squad reaches 12-4 record for season after beating Evergreen

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s girls basketball team is loaded with underclass talent and coach Adam Williams hopes the Lions can be a team in the late season that will be a factor.

The Lions improved their season record to 12-4 on Feb. 4 with a 50-30 Jefferson County 4A League win over Evergreen in the Littleton gym.

“We worked really hard for a really long time and for whatever reason we got all these kids at the same time,” said Williams. “We have a lot of talent. With that being said, we have some seniors that are really good.

“We are young and inexperienced but we’ve had some really good experiences the last couple weeks to overcome adversity.”

Littleton has four seniors, two juniors, five sophomores and two freshman listed on its varsity

roster.

After league losses to Green Mountain, ranked fourth in the CHSAANow.com Class 4A state ratings, and 10th-ranked D’Evelyn, Williams feels his team is ready to wrap up the season and look forward to the state playoffs.

“We can definitely play with those teams,” said Williams. “We can do it especially when we’re hitting shots. We can play with almost anybody in 4A. “We’ve done some things. We’re trying to pressure more and be more of a pressure team, which I usually like to play.”

Sophomore Daysha Sagrillo, a 6-foot-1 power foward, agrees.

“We can definitely play with those teams,” she said. “We just need to bring it all and play 100 percent all the time. We’re capable of doing that. We just have to work hard every day. Our coach helps with that. I’m not surprised by how we are doing.”

Littleton didn’t shoot well against Evergreen (37%) but still won easily.

Sophomore Penny Urquhart, a 5-9 shooting guard, paced the Lions with 17 points and eight rebounds. Sagrillo, who limped off

the floor with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, had 12 points.

Marlee Hernandez-priest added 10 points.

Littleton’s defense forced 13 steals with Urquhart, Sagrillo and Jacy Chandler each getting three steals.

“We played tough,” added Williams. “It was not one of our better shooting nights. We found other ways to score. We have a lot

of kids that can score.

“I thought defensively we played amazingly. To hold Jameson (Mott) to three points is amazing.

We played a little box and one in the first half and then straight man in the second. She had only one point in the second half.”

Evergreen’s Jameson Mott came into the game as one of the league’s top five scorers with a 16.9 scoring average.

Rec-league Raptors take league championship Hoops coach says squad was most enjoyable of career

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Capping off a season for the books, the third-grade Raptors in the Castle Rock Recreation Basketball League went 8-0, winning the league championship.

The team’s coach, Tim Corken, said he has been coaching basketball for more than 30 years, and this year’s team was the “most enjoyable coaching experience of my career.”

“But not because of our record, the league championship, or the undefeated season,” he added.

“It was enjoyable because of the people involved … the players and an incredibly supportive group of parents. Our players are very competitive, who play with tremendous heart, never quit, and they played hard until the final buzzer in every game.”

Corken said the team was successful throughout the 2021-22 season

predatory-natured entity to exacerbate our problem when we’re in the middle of a hardship,” said Nathan Coombs, the district manager for the Conejos Water Conservancy District.

Representatives from Renewable Water Resources, a water developer, also sat in the room, defending the proposal at times. One of the representatives, Jerry Berry, is a farmer from the San Luis Valley and spoke in support of the proposal, which would ask some valley residents to sell their water rights and promises to contribute $50 million to the community to use as they see fit.

“There’s no other project, no other thing that’s going to put money back into the community that could benefit everybody,” Berry said. “There has to be some semblance of gaining back what we’ve lost.”

The two-hour meeting was one of seven that the board plans to hold to evaluate the controversial proposal, which would use a portion of the $68 million in federal money given to the county from the American Rescue Plan Act. In March, commissioners plan to travel to the San Luis Valley to hear from locals about the plan.

because they were not selfish players and enjoyed playing together.

“We had some close games that could have gone either way,” Corken said. “But the most competitive games were played in practice during our scrimmage time. I’ve never seen so many bodies diving for loose balls just to win a scrimmage.”

Starting forward Garrett Grigg said he played this season because he loves sports and wanted the ex-

perience of winning and losing.

“Basketball is very exciting and makes me think,” he said. “We always have each other’s back, and I love that everyone is kind of funny.

They all made my first season very fun.”

In winning the league championship last month, Grigg said, “I feel like a boss. The winning of our championship game was very emotional for me. I was so proud to have made it this far without

While RWR originally proposed that the county pay an initial fee of $20 million for the project followed by a cost of $18,500 per acre-foot for water, they recently revised that request.

In a letter to commissioners dated Jan. 27, RWR said that their attoreys recently informed them that “the rules and regulations governing the use of ARPA funds may not allow the county to spend $20 million on projects that are not completed by 2026,” according to the document provided to Colorado Community Media by the county.

If those restrictions remain, RWR suggests that the county instead pay an initial amount of $10 million from the general fund for the project with a cost of $19,500 per acre-foot.

They say they believe the county could then use $10 million from ARPA to backfill the general fund.

During the meetings evaluating the project, proponents and opponents have sparred over whether or not the plan would be harmful to the San Luis Valley, a huge area that relies on agriculture as a primary source for its local economy.

So far, the commissioners have also heard presentations from RWR, the Colorado Division of Water Resources and from various water lawyers.

RWR has claimed the plan to pump 22,000 acre-feet out of the

valley per year wouldn’t cause any harm whatsoever. Glenn Porzak, a water lawyer with clients including Vail Resorts and the City of Golden, told commissioners that “Maybe it’s harm from the standpoint that some people won’t feel as good about it” regarding the RWR proposal.

Porzak added that he’s not involved with the project but would likely be compensated by RWR for speaking to commissioners.

Those who have spoken against the plan, including state Sen. Cleave Simpson, R-Alamosa, and Attorney General Phil Weiser, say water in the valley has historically been overappropriated and that there simply isn’t excess water available to pump elsewhere.

“We’ve seen this before — water is sold off, farms dry up, local economies contract, communities are forever harmed,” Simpson and Weiser wrote in a joint op-ed in the Alamosa Valley Courier. “In the case of the Valley, the RWR plan comes at a time when we are desperately working to manage a depleted aquifer and protect this community’s future.”

Deputy state engineer Mike Sullivan told commissioners there have been “some droughty years” in the valley during a Jan. 18 work session.

“Those kind of structural changes seem to be occurring in the valley where we’re just not seeing as much

losing.”

In the league championship, which the Raptors won 22-20, starting point guard Jayden Corken said he was never worried about the tight score because he knew the team could do it.

Coach Corken said clinching the league championship was not easy.

In the second quarter, the Raptors trailed 12-6.

With a strong defense that rarely gave up more than 14 points a game, Corken said the team had to work hard for the comeback victory, which was secured with a last-second shot to secure the title.

“Late in the fourth quarter, and tied at 20-20, we played tremendous defense, and grabbed a critical rebound to set up the last-second shot, and win the championship,” Corken said.

Corken said the plan for next season is to keep this team together and to play for the Castle Rock Recreation League again.

Besides Corken and Grigg, the 2021-22 team consisted of Jax Raes, Kaelan Gasco, Quentin Gidcumb, Brayden Rodvold, Landon Chase, Cason Conroy, Cohen Ivey and Owen Schwairy. water coming in either through the streams or through the recharge areas,” he said.

James Eklund, a water lawyer who helped form the state’s strategic water plan and isn’t employed by any parties related to the RWR project, told commissioners Jan. 24 that “unequivocally, this proposal runs contrary to the plan.”

During his presentation in support of the plan, Porzak pointed to the growth in Douglas County as one reason to consider the project.

“I believe this project is the only realistic solution to meet Douglas County’s water needs,” Porzak said.

“And I believe as controversial as it may be, it’s less controversial than any of the other options that I believe are out there. And you can’t shy away from controversy when it comes to water.”

The RWR plan says it would provide enough water for about 70,000 households in Douglas County.

If commissioners choose to fund the project, it will have several legal hurdles to cross before it’s finalized.

For the project to be approved in water court, RWR will have to prove that it will replace all the water it removes from the valley.

During the Jan. 31 meeting, RWR staff members posted comments in SEE WATER, P21

the chat, arguing with those raising questions about the proposal and in some situations, challenging the presenters.

While Heather Dutton, manager of the San Luis Valley Conservancy District spoke, a commenter named Bryan Wright commented: “If this lady is trying to hoard all the water for a very small population to farm one of the highest demand crops … I’m lost as to why there is not a willingness to share a tiny amount of water that flows into the SLV every year for our water needs?”

Wright is identified as an investment consultant by RWR’s proposal. Wright did not identify himself as being affiliated with RWR as he responded to comments from other viewers.

“If I understand the RWR proposal, people get to choose if they want to sell some of their water rights to them,” he wrote in one

heiress, May Bonfils, in 1952. They resided in her Belmar Mansion, a replica of Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon at Versailles. Stanton became a well-recognized interior designer who worked internationally, as well as for President Harry S. Truman during renovation and reconstruction of the White House from 1949-1952. After May’s death in 1962, he founded the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, which supports arts, culture, community service, science and medicine in Denver.

comment. “If that’s the case, then why would someone let a government official (Mr. Simpson) tell them whether or not they can sell their own water?”

Wright also commented that the speakers from conservation districts seemed like “special interest groups wanting to protect their jobs” and asked someone in the chat who opposed the proposal who they work for.

Another staff member, Hugh Bernadari, commented in support of the project, saying “buy and dry is better than get zero and dry,” referencing the proposal’s plan to ask residents to sell their water rights.

Comments also came from Monica McCafferty. McCafferty is listed by the RWR proposal as a communications and public affairs executive.

So far, commissioners are split on the issue, with Commissioner George Teal in support and Commissioner Lora Thomas against.

Commissioner Abe Laydon has said he is looking for a win-win for Douglas County and the San Luis Valley.

City and County PUBLIC NOTICE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Douglas County Legals 2.10.22 * 1

The News-Press 27

February 10, 2022

Public Notices The Town of Larkspur plans to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State of Colorado, Department of Local Affairs. CDBG funds are intended to provide decent housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate-income persons through rehabilitation and preservation, economic/job development and public facilities improvements.

The application being considered would request $400,000 for water treatment plant improvements including engineering and administration on behalf of the Town of Larkspur. It is estimated that approximately 64% of the funds would benefit low and moderate-income persons. Permanent involuntary displacement of neighborhood persons or businesses is not anticipated. Should it later become necessary to consider such displacement, alternatives will be examined to minimize the displacement. If no feasible alternatives exist, required/reasonable benefits will be provided to those displaced to mitigate adverse effects and hardships. Any low and moderate-income housing which is demolished or converted will be replaced.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals needing special accommodations (including auxiliary communicative aids and services) during these hearings should notify Sean Hogan at the Larkspur Town Hall, 8720 Spruce Mountain Road, CO 80118 a minimum of three (3) days in advance so that appropriate aids can be made available.

A public hearing will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 17, 2022. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the public meeting will be held via Zoom. Details on how to participate may be obtained on the Town of Larkspur's Town Council website page (https://www.townoflarkspur.org/town-council) under "Agendas". This public hearing is to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals and questions related to: • The proposed CDBG application for this project; and • Community development and housing needs, including the needs or low and moderate-income persons, as well as other needs in the community that might be addressed through the CDBG program; and • The performance of the Town of Larkspur in carrying out its community development responsibilities.

• Potential historical effects.

A copy of the application(s) as submitted to the State will be available for public review at the Town of Larkspur. Written comments are also welcome and must be received by February 16, 2022 at shogan@townoflarkspur.org.
