County clerks report death threats amid election fraud claims

Still fighting uproar after 2 years

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the clerks and other people trusted to oversee elections in Colorado, these are tense times.

Some face hostility, even violent

threats, a trend that continues in Colorado two years after the 2020 election, when former President Trump and his supporters alleged widespread voter fraud. Those claims, which fueled the Jan. 6 insurrection, remain unfounded.

Yet in Arapahoe County, Joan Lopez, the clerk and recorder in charge of elections, says an atmosphere of intimidation lingers. She tells Colorado Community Media she has

received a threatening, handwritten letter with profanity and referring to her race. The letter writer also claimed to know where she lives.

“You get concerned for your family and yourself,” said Lopez, a Democrat.

She said law enforcement officials are investigating the case.

The FBI says election officials across the country have reason to be fearful and says agents are commit-

Teachers across the metro area describe pay rates

Douglas County looks to voters for 9% bump

EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lucy Squire just marked her 18th year as a teacher at Copper Mesa Elementary School in Douglas County. One of the things she has that many teachers here and around Colorado don’t is a home.

Squire looks at what Douglas County School District teachers earn and doubts she and her partner today could afford the same home. That’s even considering her current salary as a veteran educator.

“When I started interviewing and looking as a brand new teacher, all of the (school) districts were so comparable with pay,” said Squire, a third-grade teacher. “It didn’t matter where you ended up because they were so similar.”

That was in 2004. Fast forward to today, and differences in teacher pay across Denver metro school districts are often stark.

While teachers in many districts across the state say they are struggling to keep up — particularly amid rising inflation — in Douglas County, south of Denver, teachers

ted to finding and bringing to justice those who would jeopardize the stability of free and fair elections.

Matt Crane, executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, says election officials around the state are worried.

“Everybody’s bracing depending on how this election goes,” said Crane, a Republican former

Suburbs face reality of less water

Turf bans, other measures taken

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Growth is good. But hold the sod. And have the checkbook handy.

Colorado’s population growth and the swelling stress on state water resources amid climate change and drought are sending Front Range suburbs in a scramble to shore up sustainable supplies.

Castle Rock is banning traditional grass turf in front yards of new homes and offering developers steep fee discounts for watersaving “Coloradoscaping” yards. The Douglas County town that is a center for housing sprawl in Colorado foresees dwindling aquifer resources and ever-higher prices to secure new surface water from the state’s overtaxed mountain river basins.

Arvada, on the opposite corner of the Denver metro area to the northwest, is more than doubling homebuilders’ water and sewer connection fees and sharply raising existing homeowners’ utility rates. The city has so far avoided turf bans or other strong conservation measures on development, while a debate builds on whether the its new $54,000 connection

fees are making homes even less affordable.

arguing — out of self-interest, but also reflecting concerns of town officials — that water fees are a major contributor to the lack of affordable housing on the Front Range.

Castle Rock’s utility system fees for a newly built single-family home in 2023 will be $42,097, up from $37,067 this year. Developers who agree to oversee landscape installation themselves using certified conservation contractors can trim more than $16,000 from that total under the new rules, officials said.

Arvada’s vote Monday night boosted charges for water, sewer and stormwater connections that it calls “system development fees” to $54,000, more than double the previous $25,000 fee, according to city officials and the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver.

Builders know water conservation is crucial now more than ever, and agree with the gist of the Aurora and Castle Rock initiatives, HBA’s Morgan Cullen said. They did seek concessions, not wanting to be responsible for overseeing all the landscaping.

The two cities’ big moves, combined with Aurora’s recent decision to restrict new lawns and ban new golf courses, reflect the strains on high-growth Colorado cities confronted by higher water prices and dwindling supply, older collection and treatment systems hitting capacity, and everyday inflation. Arvada says it is paying 30% more for water treatment chemicals, and triple for piping, amid worldwide price increases.

“Water is a critical resource here,” Castle Rock Water Director Mark Marlowe said. “These are the things we can do to make that resource go further.”

“We are at capacity, and parts of our system are full in places that we expect that growth is going to pay for itself,” said Sharon Israel, Arvada’s director of utilities.

Aurora sent water messages loud and clear over the summer by moving to ban new golf courses and sharply limit the amount of traditional thirsty lawn grass installed in the yards of new homes.

Now comes fast-growing Castle Rock, which Tuesday night was expected to give final passage to a ban on front yard grass in new homes and a limit on backyard grass to 500 square feet. The new rules also demand that developers oversee all water-wise landscaping if they want to qualify for discounts off steep tap fees.

City water agencies are ramping up those tap fees charged to developers to link to local water systems to pay for higher water acquisition and distribution costs amid the historic Western drought. The tap fees have risen so high that homebuilders are

But the rapid increase in new home tap fees, in Arvada and to a lesser extent in places like Castle Rock, is exacerbating crushing affordability problems for new buyers, Cullen said. “Water is getting prohibitively expensive,” he said. At current median home prices, the rising tap, storm and wastewater fees represent about 10% of the overall price, he noted.

The stress on water resources and homebuyer resources will only worsen. Castle Rock expects to grow from 81,000 people to 140,000 in the next couple of decades. The city wants to cut per capita water use by 18% in the next 10 to 20 years, Marlowe said.

Castle Rock gets its drinking water from a combination of withdrawals from aquifers under Douglas County, which are depleting and can’t continue to be used at current rates, and buying from Denver and Aurora. Water law allows much of Castle Rock’s water to be reused — withdrawals from aquifers and transmountain diversions can be recycled “to depletion.” The town is working on recycling more aquifer water back into the system after it is spread on landscapes and flows back to local creeks.

Restricting water use in new development also helps keep costs lower for existing Castle Rock homeowners, Marlowe said, a key consideration as electric, water and other utility rates soar. On a winter day, Castle Rock uses 4 million to 5 million gallons of water, while summer days peak at 19 million gallons. The city must build out enough infrastructure to handle the peaks, and charge ratepayers for the capacity and upkeep.

Avoiding new infrastructure through keeping the summer peaks lower “will help on rates” over the long term, Marlowe said.

Castle Rock calls its alternative home landscaping models “Coloradoscaping,” and Marlowe said such water-saving designs will be part of many new developments up and down the Front Range.

“We certainly think it’s a good thing for the state as a whole,” he said.

Arvada’s steep increases to both development fees and rates for existing water and sewer users will shore up existing systems and allow growth that supports future city budgets, council members said in approving the increases unanimously Monday night.

“Development has to pay its own way,” Arvada Mayor and Councilmember Marc Williams said. “We’re not going to do it on the backs of existing ratepayers. Yes, we recognize this is going to have an impact on housing costs.” Like other council members, Williams said Arvada now needs to redouble efforts on both utility support programs for lowerincome customers, and creating more affordable housing units.

“We invite all of you to work with us on that,” Councilmember Lauren Simpson told developers and community members in the audience.

“As much as I hate to do it, it’s a necessary evil. I hope this doesn’t deter development in our community,” Councilmember David Jones said.

Developers speaking at Monday night’s public hearing said the connection fees were high, but praised the council for agreeing to delay higher payments until July 2023 to allow them to line up permits and financing before the new fees take effect.

“I hope that with the modification, developers will still see Arvada as a great place to be,” Jones said.

Arvada purchases most of its water from Denver Water. The Jefferson County community is paying for one-sixth of the controversial expansion of Denver Water’s Gross Reservoir Dam in Boulder County, and will receive one-sixth of the new water supply from that, Israel said.

The city and consultants spent the past three years studying

water supply and capacity for water treatment, stormwater and sewage, Israel said. Council members mentioned their tours of the aging sewage treatment facilities reaching their limits, and having helped neighbors shovel sewage out of basements after the 2013 floods on the northern Front Range.

Denver Water, meanwhile, is raising its raw water charges to Arvada by 15%, Israel said. Every stage of utility handling is undergoing massive inflation, from water cleaning chemicals to pipelines to fuel and equipment. Arvada needs to issue $100 million in bonds for its water and sewage utility systems, and interest rates on that new borrowing will be far higher than the rates contemplated three years ago.

At the same time the new development fees were passed, the council approved a 12.3% increase in existing water rates and a 9.8% boost to sewage rates. Both systems will also charge higher fixed monthly service fees.

“So all of that together we estimate it would be about $9 more a month for a typical single-family residence,” Israel said. “We are still in the bottom third of the metro area in terms of fees for water and sewer services. So it sounds like a big jump, but it’s a big jump on a relatively smaller number.”

Israel acknowledged Arvada has not made the same push that Castle Rock and Aurora have made to reduce thirsty grass lawns.

Landscape watering typically makes up about 50% of municipal water use in arid states that are thick with traditional turf grass. Arvada customers have access to consultation on creating a more water-wise landscape, she said, and the city is gradually installing smart water meters in homes that alert customers to leaks and their overall use.

“We haven’t gone the same route as some other communities,” she said.

Republicans hope to take back U.S. House

Prevailing in November could bring changes for Colorado members

BY CAITLYN KIM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

With a possible change of leadership for the U.S. House of Representatives would likely come a change of positions for some Colorado members of Congress.

If Republicans take control of the chamber after the November election, as is largely expected, a couple of Colorado Republicans could be picking up subcommittee gavels, while Democratic members will give up their seats as chair to become, in some cases, ranking members.

While he’s not measuring any drapes, GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn said he would seek the chairmanship of the Strategic Forces subcommittee of the House Armed Services committee. He was named the ranking member of that committee in January.

The delegation’s longest serving Republican, Lamborn, who also currently sits on the House Natural Resources committee, said the committee handles issues that are important for Colorado, and the whole country.

“It deals with issues that are really strategic and vital to our national defense,” Lamborn said, pointing to space systems, missile defense,

and hypersonics, as some examples.

“Those are all things that… have a strong Colorado presence, but they’re also vital for our national defense.”

GOP Rep. Ken Buck said much “depends on how big of a majority [Republicans] have and it depends on where the priorities are.” Buck is currently the ranking member of the Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law subcommittee on the House Judiciary committee,

where he’s worked with a bipartisan group to tackle the growing power of Big Tech.

“Certainly I would enjoy continuing to work on anti-trust issues,” Buck said. He added he’d try to keep encouraging his fellow Republicans to see anti-trust as a tool to deal with the largest tech companies.

Buck also has seniority on Judiciary’s Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee. His other committee is the House Foreign Affairs committee.

The ranking member usually has the inside track to chair when control of the House flips. But both parties have their own process for selecting leaders within committees.

Democrats and Republicans each have standing committees that nominate members for committees and chair assignments, which are then voted on by the full caucus. When it comes to subcommittee chairs, Democrats usually bid, in order of seniority, and it then has to be approved by the committee caucus. Republicans usually let the committee chair determine the procedure for subcommittee chair selection.

As for freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, who sits on the House Natural Resources and Budget committees and has the highest national profile in the delegation, she said she’s not planning on running for any leadership positions. She noted she’s communications chair of the Freedom Caucus “and that’s the caucus that matters the most to me.”

Instead of looking at who is or isn’t jockeying for positions, Boebert said the media should be “more interested on inflation, the southern border, jobs, getting control back of

our country, rather than meaningless leadership positions here in Washington, D.C.”

Still, subcommittee leaderships can be important perches for oversight and moving bills.

Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, as chair of the oversight and investigations subcommittee on Energy and Commerce, has held hearings on everything from the price of oil to the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rep. Joe Neguse, chair of the House Natural Resources Committee’s subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public lands, was able to move lots of legislation through. Meanwhile, his fellow second term Congressman Jason Crow is chair of the Small Business Committee’s subcommittee on Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Workforce Development.

If control of the chamber moves to Republicans, all three will be handing over those positions to members of the other party.

Regardless of party affiliation, Colorado will get two additional freshman lawmakers next Congress to throw into the committee mix — the representative from CO-7, who will replace retiring Democrat Ed Perlmutter and the representative from the new CO-8. While some first term lawmakers are named ranking members, it would be unusual for one to be appointed to a subcommittee chair spot.

At 25 years old, Mitchell Gulch Park is one of the town’s older parks. The planned redevelopment includes six new tennis courts, new playground equipment, a bike pump track, walking trails, a yearround restroom, a paved parking lot and a pavilion. Better lighting and irrigation would also be part of the project.

“Mitchell Gulch was identified as a priority in our capital improvements program,” said Jeff Brauer, director of parks and recreation. “We have an aged pavilion, we have a couple of playground sets that … are showing their age and are depreciating rapidly.”

Council approved a $3.5 million contract with Colorado Designscapes for the Mitchell Gulch Park construction, as well as $821,000 for the tennis courts and roughly $400,000 for the playground equipment.

“There’s a lot of money invested in infrastructure so that it can be brought up to the same standard our other parks have,” Brauer said.

Construction is expected to start this fall and finish in summer 2023.

The town is also looking to expand indoor recreation options and council approved a $577,000 contract for designs for a potential future sports development center, which would be developed

in partnership with Confluence Companies.

As envisioned, the sports development center would be a 132,000-square-foot facility and include an indoor swimming pool with spectator seating, five hard courts for basketball and other sports, an indoor track, a fitness area with weights, fitness rooms, gathering spaces and space to grow.

“The commitment to our next recreation center needs to meet the community needs,” Brauer said. “One of the things we haven’t done since 1988 is develop an aquatics facility, so that we know is a need. … Same thing with the multipurpose courts.”

Confluence Companies would provide 11 acres on Prairie Hawk Drive, a site known as the Brickyard, for the sports complex and develop the project should the town move forward with the plan.

Developing the sports center will also require the town to rezone the land, which Confluence Companies is in the process of doing.

Bauer told the council the town has the capacity to finance a $63 million to $67 million sports center, which would be paid for by development impact fees.

Lastly, council approved a $1.2 million construction contract with Schmidt Constrution for a trailhead parking lot at the Metzler Family Open Space. The lot will provide 54 parking spaces off East Allen Street.

Construction is expected to start this fall and be completed in February.

A construction rendering of Mitchell Gulch Park outlines the park renovation plans, including six tennis courts, a bike pump track and new playgrounds. Castle Rock town council approved $5.2 million for the project.

Still no breathing room on home prices

Cost would have to drop 32% to match ‘a ordability’ of 2015

BY TAMARA CHUANG

THE COLORADO SUN

Back in 2015, the median sales price for a house in Colorado was $285,000, according to data from the Colorado Association of Realtors. Between January and September, the median price averaged $575,000.

Housing prices are already much higher now than they were seven years ago, but combine that with today’s higher mortgage interest rates (7.1% for a 30-year fixed loan, as of Friday’s Mortgage News Daily calculation versus just under 4% in 2015) plus consumer incomes that haven’t kept up with inflation or home prices, and 2015 was a pretty sweet year to buy a house, according to CSU’s Colorado Futures Center.

Getting back to that affordability would require an average 32% drop in housing prices to get the same share of housing stock to a price that is affordable to the median family income. And that housing price adjustment differs by county, with the value at one end needing to drop about 15% in Huerfano County but closer to 60% in Jackson County.

Denver was just below the state’s average price decline adjustment of 32%.

“As you can see from the report, it would take pretty considerable drops in values in order for us to get to a level of ‘affordability’ that the state enjoyed back in 2015,” said Phyllis Resnick, the center’s lead economist and executive director. “I use that word in air quotes because I don’t think people thought 2015 was a terribly affordable era. But in retrospect, it actually was because interest rates were almost historically low and the run-up in prices hadn’t happened yet.”

Affordability is also impacted by limited housing supply, added Jennifer Newcomer, the center’s research director.

“We have stated before that we’re going to need to create a separate environment to basically bring supply at price points that have largely not been catered to for a long time (because) the current market environment is not incentivized to do anything different when it comes to new production,” Newcomer said. “We’ve noodled on this idea of supply to get us out and take us out of the challenge that launched some of the Great Recession, when we had a lot of home builders exit the market entirely.”

Increasing supply could very well provide Coloradans with more attainable housing, but this comes after last decade’s decline in construction workers, slow wage increases and the regulatory environment, though Resnick said the notion of local regulations driving up cost

always make her “a little skeptical when one thing is singled out as the only reason.”

“We got into this work five years ago because we were convinced that the construction defects (law), while real, (would not cause) the housing market to correct itself” if removed, Resnick said. “All these components matter. … Labor’s expensive, materials are expensive, the regulatory environment is part of it and there may not be enough land in the condition that you need, coupled with COVID and a real constriction in what came to the market. That’s probably an

unsatisfying answer, but we hope to stimulate the right conversations where people recognize that all of these issues are part of it.”

This was the first of a series of housing affordability reports from the organization.

Polls show Democrats leading key races

Ballots hitting mailboxes

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado Democrats running for reelection this year to major statewide offices — including U.S. Senate, governor, attorney general and secretary of state — hold big leads over their Republican challengers less than a month before Election Day, according to a new poll released Oct. 19.

The poll was conducted by Global Strategy Group, a Democratic firm, from Oct. 6-11 among 800 registered voters. It had a 3.5 percentage point margin of error. The poll was conducted in partnership with ProgressNow Colorado, a liberal nonprofit. The Colorado Sun refers to the organization as a dark-money group because it doesn’t have to disclose its donors.

If the survey’s findings are correct — the findings are much more favorable for Democrats than the numbers in other recent polls — the GOP is staring down another year of devastating election results on Nov. 8. No Republican running statewide has won more than 45% of the vote in the past two election cycles.

The poll found Democratic Gov. Jared Polis leads his Republican challenger, University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl, by 54% to 33% with 7% undecided. That’s the largest margin of any of the races

polled by Global Strategy Group.

In the U.S. Senate race, 50% of those polled said they would vote for Democratic incumbent Michael Bennet compared to 35% who said they would back Republican Joe O’Dea, a first-time candidate who owns a Denver construction company. Eight percent said they were undecided.

The gap in the Senate race narrowed by 4 percentage points to 49% for Bennet and 38% for O’Dea when Global Strategy Group weighed the results to mirror the likely 2022 electorate.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold led her Republican challenger, former Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson, at 46% to 34% with 10% undecided.

In the attorney general’s race, Democratic incumbent Phil Weiser led his Republican challenger, 18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner, at 44% to 35% with 13% undecided.

Voters are typically less familiar with down-ballot candidates, which may be why the percentages of undecided voters were so high in the polling for the secretary of state and attorney general races.

RealClearPolitics, a politics news and analysis website, averages polling results. Bennet leads O’Dea by 8 percentage points in polls analyzed by the site — not including the new Global Strategy Group survey — while Polis leads Ganahl by 14 percentage points. (RealClearPolitics

doesn’t have polling averages for the attorney general and secretary of state races.)

The Global Strategy Group also tested President Biden’s and Polis’ approval ratings. Forty-six percent of those polled said they approve of Biden’s work, while 51% said they disapprove and 3% said they weren’t sure. For Polis, 58% said they approve of the job he is doing, while 27% said they disapprove and 6% said they weren’t sure.

The approval ratings for Polis and Biden have improved since June, the last time Global Strategy Group conducted a similar survey.

Colorado county clerks began mailing ballots to voters on Oct. 17.

Reacting to egg-flation ‘part of the territory’

BY RACHEL LORENZ

SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Egg prices are up and that’s not good news when breakfast is a big part of your business.

“Can’t really just say we’re not going to sell eggs this week because, you know, it’s kind of what we do,” Brandi Fehringer, owner of Rory’s Diner in Parker, told Colorado Community Media.

Eggs are not the only cost to skyrocket, Fehringer said. While revenue at her restaurant has increased this year so has the cost of food and labor, resulting in a decrease in profit.

However, Fehringer takes that challenge — and the others she’s faced in her nearly four years as a business owner — in stride.

A 20-plus-year veteran of the restaurant industry, Fehringer knew owning her own place would be hard work. But as the single mom of two teens approached her 40s, she decided that she wanted the long hours she put in to go towards building up a business of her own.

“Why am I working this many hours to make somebody else’s business succeed instead of doing something for myself and my family?” she said she asked herself.

develop the restaurant’s presence on social media.

Opening at 7 a.m. every day of the week, Rory’s Diner focuses on great service and made-from-scratch comfort food like biscuits and gravy, buttermilk pancakes, meatloaf and huevos rancheros for the breakfast and lunch crowd. A chalkboard, hanging above a red upholstered banquette and a black and white checkerboard floor, lists the diner’s lengthy selection of homemade fruit pies.

“It’s way better quality, way better tasting,” Fehringer said of scratch cooking.

But barely a year into its new ownership, the diner pivoted away from breakfast and embraced dinner-to-go

After letting her entire staff go in March 2020, Fehringer slowly brought employees back. She now has about 15 full-time employees and 10 parttimers. The help has allowed her to cut back her own hours his year to roughly 50 a week. She even takes one day a week off.

The diner went back to indoor dining and its pre-COVID hours in late December 2020. In addition to breakfast and lunch seven days a week, it’s been open for dinner on Friday and Saturday.

Fehringer, however, is evaluating whether or not dinner service should continue. Customer traffic has been inconsistent — sometimes the restaurant is packed and sometimes it’s

a ghost town — making the evenings hard to properly staff.

It’s possible there’s a better way to make money on those nights, she said. Perhaps by expanding the catering Rory’s Diner already does or by using the restaurant space for private events during the evening hours.

Analyzing profitability, and making changes when necessary, is what restaurateurs do, according to Fehringer.

“Part of the territory,” she said. “Things that you just have to do to keep things going and growing.”

IF YOU GO

Rory’s Diner is at 11020 S. Pikes Peak Drive, suite 140, in Parker. It’s open from 7 a.m until 2:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

amid rising inflation — in Douglas County, south of Denver, teachers say voters have an opportunity to help them.

Squire and others are supporting Ballot Issue 5A on the November ballot to boost pay for teachers and other district staff.

The district “is the largest employer in the county” and serves 64,000 students “yet continues to lag behind in total funding and competitiveness in salary compared to other school districts,” according to a summary of written comments in favor of the proposed property tax increase outlined on the ballot.

While proponents say narrowing the pay gap will help the district compete for and retain teachers, staff and administrators, opponents worry about property taxes amid rising real estate prices. Douglas County real estate is expected to be “reappraised” upward in 2023, so property tax bills are expected to rise even if voters kill Issue 5A, according to the comments against the proposal in Douglas County’s voter information booklet.

The Douglas County opponents’ views in the voter guide also speculate that: “More money spent on education does not buy better education outcomes.”

Shannon Doering — an English teacher at Castle View High School who can’t afford to buy a house with her partner in the region — says if a district isn’t paying teachers well, it can’t expect to keep them, and that affects the quality of education.

“There are certainly worsepaying districts in the state, but in regards to the area, I’d

definitely say Douglas County is known as one of the worstpaying districts,” Doering said. “That’s not a secret.”

Addressing a gap

Despite the political divisiveness on Douglas County’s school board, its members unanimously supported asking voters for the proposed tax increase.

Christa Gilstrap, a Highlands Ranch parent, helped organize support for the proposal.

“We’ve got people who support the new board and people who don’t support the new board coming together to get this done,” said Gilstrap, adding that the issue has brought some Republicans and Democrats in the community together.

Gilstrap, a lifelong registered Republican, drives around with paint on her minivan’s back window noting she’s a conservative who backs the proposal.

“The need in Douglas County School District is so great, it justifies a tax increase,” Gilstrap said.

The impact of the tax increase would be $51 per year — about $1 per week — for every $100,000 in the assessed value of a home. For example, a home worth $500,000 in assessed value would pay $5 per week, or $255 per year. (“Assessed” value is the worth of a home for property tax purposes, as determined by the county assessor’s office.)

That translates to an estimated $60 million more in annual revenue for the district.

Officials say the figure starts to close the pay gap with other school districts, including Cherry Creek in Arapahoe County.

Douglas County teacher pay, on average $57,900, is lower than nearby districts. Cherry Creek paid about $76,100; Littleton Public Schools $68,700; Jefferson County Public Schools $62,600; and Boulder Valley

School District $82,000.

The Douglas County district’s tax proposal comes close on the heels of a boost in pay for Jefferson County teachers. The Jeffco agreement in August raises the minimum salary to $50,000 and increases in salaries for various other pay grades and gives every educator a minimum of $3,000 more.

Pay problem a broader issue

Pay isn’t just contentious among the Denver-area school districts. It’s a statewide issue, according to the nonprofit Colorado School Finance Project.

“We’re one of, if not the, lowest in competitive teacher salaries compared to every other state,” said Tracie Rainey, the project’s executive director.

Research zeroes in on what’s known as a “wage penalty.” It tracks how much less publicschool teachers earn in weekly wages relative to their collegeeducated peers who didn’t become teachers.

Data from the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Economic Policy Institute indicate that Colorado has the largest such gap in the nation. Teachers here earn, on average, 35.9% less than their college-educated, non-teacher peers.

Add to the equation that some school districts in Colorado collect more in taxes than others and it means some struggle to be competitive in terms of pay, according to Rainey.

Douglas County hasn’t been as successful as other districts at passing funding proposals in elections, so “they don’t have the additional local revenue and therefore will be on the lower side of pay,” Rainey said.

TO PROTECT DOUGLAS COUNTY PARKS, TRAILS, HISTORIC RESOURCES, AND OPEN SPACE

Douglas County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States. To maintain the quality of life that makes it one of the best places to live, it's vital to protect and preserve our parks, trails, historic resources, and open space.

“I didn’t get into teaching to make (a lot) of money,” Doering said. “I want to be able to leave work and not have to think, ‘Hmm, am I going to have to get a second job in order to pay my rent, in order to buy a house, in order to start a family?’”

She doesn’t want to leave the district. If she does, it would be because of the relatively low pay. Doering makes less than $50,000 per year.

“I love the kids I teach. It would really break my heart if I had to leave because of money,” Doering said.

The average teacher in the Douglas County School District is expected to get a 9% bump in pay if the tax proposal passes.

Squire, the third-grade teacher at Copper Mesa, said she took the year off when her first child was born but could not do so when she had a second child because of income needs.

“A lot of my teacher colleagues tutor on the side as a way to make money,” Squire said.

Squire makes roughly $70,000 a year. She hasn’t talked in specifics about how her pay compares with that of her friends in education in other Denverarea districts, but they’re aware of the sense there’s a gap.

“I have friends in Jeffco, Cherry Creek and Littleton … we just know that the joke is I work in Douglas County. It’s just become laughable,” Squire said.

Doering has felt defensive about pay at times. She wants people to know that teachers aren’t “just complaining” about pay.

“This isn’t like some issue over curriculum. This isn’t an issue over admin or a decision a teacher made. This is my living,” Doering said.

“When you can’t afford to live someplace, something’s got to give,” she said.

Online program helps neurodiverse kids

Children’s Hospital Colorado researchers created resource

BY DANA KNOWLES, LINDSEY FORD ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Leo Krause, 10, can’t help but smile while snuggling with one of his two family dogs, Louie, a mini Australian Labradoodle. It’s one of the many strategies he uses to calm himself after being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD when he was 7 years old.

“It feels like it’s hard for me to focus sometimes. I just want to move around all the time, and it’s hard for me to sit still,” Krause explained.

He received help with his ADHD through a program that’s now free and online called “Unstuck and On Target.” It was developed by researchers through Children’s Hospital Colorado to improve the executive functioning of elementary-aged school children with ADHD and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Navigating ADHD

Executive functions come from the frontal lobe of the brain and involve things like paying attention, problem-solving, emotional regulation, planning, impulse control and setting goals. When left unaddressed, challenges with these traits

can create barriers to success for many children.

Leo’s mom, Jodi Krause, says the program has been a game changer for their entire family.

“Having a child who struggles with attention and having a child who struggles with anxiety can create obstacles that you want to be able to get ahead of, but as parents, we kind of react in the moment. So that’s really challenging,” she added, saying that the strategies taught in the Unstuck and on Target curriculum continue to help Leo function like any other 10-year-old boy. “A change in Leo from the program that I’ve noticed is that he’s way more willing to put into words the things that his body is feeling.”

Laura Anthony, Ph.D., is a psychologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado, a professor of psychology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and one of the researchers who developed the online curriculum for the program. It can be done in school with educators and at home with kids and their parents and/or caregivers

“We want all kids as they’re growing to be at their most optimum developmental trajectory. We want them to do and be their best,” she explained, adding that free access is the key. “From the beginning, we wanted to create a community-based program that would reach all the kids and families who needed it.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control, between the years

of 2016 and 2019, 6 million children from the ages of 3 to 17 were diagnosed with ADHD, while one in 44 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. “Kids with either Autism or ADHD have particular difficulties with executive functioning skills and [that’s why] we designed this intervention for them,” added Anthony.

Free to be himself

Leo told Rocky Mountain PBS some of the strategies he’s learned in the program include walking away from tense situations, taking deep breaths and thinking happy thoughts. His favorite coping mechanism? Squeezing a lemon when he’s

feeling anxious.

“I feel a lot different. I’m able to calm myself down more,” he explained.

Jodi says these days Leo can be fully himself; a boy who’s compassionate and empathetic. A boy who loves his dogs, his family, friends, playing soccer, mountain biking and skiing.

Arapahoe County clerk. “I think that if certain candidates don’t do as well at the ballot box as people think they should, then we expect threats to ramp up.”

In Weld County, Carly Koppes, a Republican county clerk, reported death threats in online messages during recent election cycles, along with messages from people “re minding me the military will come for me and I’ll end up in Guanta namo Bay.”

Several county clerks in Colorado have received death threats since 2020, according to Crane, who has also received death threats.

“When election officials stand up for truth, that’s when the threats start coming,” said Crane, who strongly pushes back against nar ratives that the 2020 election was stolen.

‘It just comes back’

Threats to clerks’ offices arrive in different forms: emails, phone calls and through social media.

More broadly, clerks’ offices are inundated with unfounded claims of fraud in the 2020 election and other elections, Crane said.

Lopez said some of those ap pear to stem from coordinated campaigns by political operatives, where the same emails are copied and pasted and simply forwarded.

The barrage is a source of ongo ing frustration.

“How many tours can we give, how many references?” Lopez said.

“It seems like no matter what we do, it just comes back.”

Fraud accusations are not new, Crane said. What’s different is the involvement of prominent officials in pushing those claims.

“What we saw in 2020, though, was a completely different ball game because it came from the highest office in the land, the U.S. president, lying about an election and claiming ‘stolen election,’” Crane said.

Helping to fan the flames is a “well-funded and well-organized” network of people who keep re peating fraud claims for financial and political purposes, Crane said. With a purported “election defense fund,” Trump collected money from supporters after the 2020 election, Crane said.

When MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell — a high-profile ally of the former president — held an elec tion fraud-themed event last year, it seemed to cause an increase in calls to clerk’s offices in Colorado, just like a similar event he hosted this year, Crane said.

The atmosphere isn’t intimidat ing for clerks everywhere in Colora do. In Douglas County, clerk Merlin Klotz reports no recent threats or harassment. His office has con tended with about a half dozen unfounded claims of election fraud in the last year.

“My perspective is very simple, and that is that we have in Colorado — to my way of thinking — the best processes of any state in the country,” said Klotz, a Republican elected in 2014.

He added: “Our biggest advocates are our (election) judges, and once

someone works as a judge, they see how tight it is, and they’re our best salesmen.”

Security concerns

While stories of grassroots trustbuilding in counties are common, some incidents leave officials con cerned. Election staff in Arapahoe County were shaken the day before the 2020 presidential election when two men — one openly carrying a firearm and wearing a tactical vest — showed up and filmed people near a ballot drop box at the county headquarters in Littleton.

“I know it was to intimidate vot ers, but they never say that,” said Lopez, adding that the men main tained they weren’t doing anything wrong and that the spot was public property.

State lawmakers this year passed the Vote Without Fear Act, which prohibits people from openly carry ing firearms in any polling location or within 100 feet of a ballot drop box or any building in which a polling location is located, while an election or election administration activity is in progress.

After 2020, physical security has become a greater concern for clerks amid the spread of election fraud claims, Crane said.

“Counties have been much more proactive with building relation ships with local and state and federal law enforcement to be able to both share information and have an incident response plan should, God forbid, something happen,” Crane said.

Bipartisan process

Crane says people with concerns

about election integrity should know the systems are regularly tested.

“We don’t inherently trust systems either, which is why we have extensive testing before and after the election to (show) those systems work well,” Crane said. “What we’ve found is (they’re) incredibly accurate and do work well.”

In Colorado, there have been about 1,000 tests and audits since 2016, and the voting systems in use have never failed a test or audit, according to Crane.

Elbert County conducted a hand recount of the 2020 presidential race in the spring of 2021. That hand count confirmed the machine count, according to the Colorado County Clerks Association’s web site. El Paso County ran its 2020 ballot images through Clear Bal lot’s Clear Audit program, which again confirmed the machine count, the website says.

“Many other Colorado counties publish their ballot images and Cast Vote Records online for free,” the website added.

Crane and others emphasized the bipartisan nature of the elections process.

Klotz said a team with dissimilar party affiliation handles ballots, from picking up the ballots at drop boxes, post offices or polling loca tions up through the ballot open ing and processing procedures.

Koppes, the Weld County clerk, said despite the threats she’s received, she continues to be vocal about election integrity.

“I will continue to speak the truth with the facts,” said Koppes.

VOICES

Exhausting election ads

Over the last few election cycles there has been a disturbing trend that continues to get worse — television advertising. In the last presidential election, I was positive they couldn’t get any worse. I was wrong.

EDITOR’S COLUMN

This election cycle’s advertising in almost every race is nothing short of disgusting, annoying and mostly untrue. Ad after ad solely focused on getting one party to win over the other shows how tone-deaf candidates and those running their campaigns have become.

Thelma Grimes

It’s clear the Democrats are working to use this year’s Supreme Court ruling against abortion as a cornerstone issue to maintain control at the state level and in Washington. The problem is these ads are so poorly constructed, so annoyingly condescending that you forget about the positions they are taking and roll your eyes in disgust.

Some ads feature “seemingly” everyday citizens taking the “we’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore” approach. The problem is, if they are actors — they are terrible. If they are not actors — they need a lot more coaching before the cameras go live.

Another layer of annoying this year is the mom card. Candidates saying they are moms so they should be elected. While I agree moms are great managers, organizers and work hard — that doesn’t mean I am going to elect them solely on their mom status to pass and enforce laws.

I respect and love moms. I am a mom. However, qualifications to hold office should be based on a lot more than whether or not you are raising children. While I understand this tactic is aimed at middle-class moms — it is a ridiculous plan.

That leads me to another annoyance emerging as an election trend. That is the candidates who are choosing to run. I have been shocked a lot this election cycle with the fact that many of this year’s candidates in various races have few, if any, qualifications.

Some candidates seem to be running because it sounds good. Based on answers to questions and actions, it almost seems like they are taking a “what the heck” approach.

Whether it is a town council member, county coroner or state seat — holding office should be considered a privilege and the level of responsibility and integrity that comes with it should be respected. Holding office should not be about getting the other party voted out or because it’s become pretty easy to run.

After being elected, the work has to be done and citizens rely on every level of government to function.

Moving back into the exhausting television ads — the other issue that is getting worse is the fear factor messaging.

The doom and gloom messaging that if a candidate is elected the world could end, taxes will reach the highest they ever had, children will never be educated correctly again or all our civil rights will be abolished the day after the election is ridiculous.

I would like to see more ads with solutions, actual positions and messaging on each particular candidate. Tell us what you think can be done to help the economy. When we are spending hundreds of dollars on one or two bags of groceries at the store — we do not want to see your attack commercials.

When gasoline prices are skyrocketing, housing in Colorado may never be affordable again, homeless rates are rising and crime rates continue to be alarming — we do not need attack ads.

I would love to see candidates get back to civility, respect and the understanding that the work they are doing matters and schoolyard, childish behavior is just noise we no longer want or need to hear.

Tips for students of all ages

Acolleague of mine encouraged her daughter, a second-year pre-med college student, to reach out and ask the question, “What’s the best piece of advice you’d offer a college student?” When I received this request, I gave it some deliberate thought. And as I wrote these responses out for her, I was reminded that this guidance is applicable to all of us when we stop and think about it. I hope there is a message here that connects with you as well.

“Never settle in life. You are committed to medical school and that is awesome, we need more bright and compassionate physicians. Never settle for less than you want or deserve at school, in life, in your pursuit of the right position when you finish school, and never settle when it comes to romance, (these are words I have preached to my own daughters).

“A lesson I learned long ago was regarding `equal stature.’ Even though you are in your second year, your knowledge and wisdom may have you wiser than your years. I share this because sometimes in school and in the workplace, people do not give enough respect to younger students or newer employees. Carry yourself with confidence. There are three keys to success: confidence, confidence and confidence. Confidence in yourself, confidence in your knowledge, and confidence in your heart and compassion. These will never let you down.

“Always be curious. The smartest

The person who asks great questions seems to garner greater respect. It’s OK not to have the answers, and it’s even better when we are brave enough to

“Guard your head and heart. We can be, do, and have anything we want in this world. And unfortunately, there is a lot of noise out there, as people try to pressure others into their beliefs. So, watch what information you allow into your head and heart. Our sources of input are critical to life success. This also goes for the people in our lives. Are they toxic? Negative? Do they drain our energy? These are the people you need to avoid, and if they are already in your life, take the time to walk away, as hard as that may seem.

“Lastly, create your word bank. Too often people aren’t ready or equipped when confrontation, conflict, or disagreements occur. And when we aren’t ready, if we haven’t built our mental model on how we would respond instead of react, and if we do not have our go-to words top of mind and heart,

Honesty, ethics needed

We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. If the Herald publishes this letter, it will be the second or third time I have been published where I quoted the Air Force Academy’s cadet wing honor code. Although I have taken the Air Force oath twice, only the Academy’s code stands out.

I wonder, if voters were required to memorize this honor code, how many of us could vote? Not me, as the word tolerate would trip me up. I wouldn’t be alone as almost every Douglas County Republican tolerated, and would die for, Donald John Trump. As a Douglas County resident for 46 years and I can say, without reservation, that if we only voted the honesty and ethics we claim to have, the county clerk could function with a part-time staff every election cycle.

Stop San Luis water plan

Enough of the San Luis water project. Stop it. Call this heinous idea Dead in the Water. Just what makes Douglas County (or at least one of the commissioners) think they are so special that they can take water from one of the poorest, primarily agricultural areas of the state? Even the attorney who specializes in water law and was hired to speak with Renewable Water Resources has said it’s not a good idea. By the way, according to Steve Leonhardt, there is “no unappropriated water” available in the valley. That alone sounds like the end of the road for this debacle. But wait! There’s more! RWR hasn’t formed an augmentation plan showing how they would avoid injury to other water rights. That, of course, would be required by law.

So stop it. Quit spending money on an attorney who has already expressed the opinion that this is not such a grand idea. Quit feeding the monsters who still think there is something to investigate.

Support arming educators

We are responding to the Oct. 13 letter to the editor from Kyra Storojev about the Douglas County sheriff’s race and school safety. As the parents of Kendrick Castillo, who was murdered in 2019 at STEM School in suburban Highlands Ranch, we have a drastically different view.

Storojev says that a teacher’s job is to teach, and that it is law enforcement’s job to apprehend perpetrators. In the murder that took our son Kendrick’s life, law enforcement was there very quickly, but it was too late for our son. The only person who could have saved his life was an armed staff member in that room. Sadly, Kendrick’s teacher didn’t even have the option. Are Storojev and sheriff candidate Michael Phibbs saying that the death of one child, or even two children, is acceptable?

Phibbs also said in a candidate Q&A in this paper that teachers don’t want the burden of carrying a firearm. We ask how this compares to the burden these teachers face of potentially dying by defending children with their bodies. Because we see this in every one of these acts of domestic terrorism in our nation’s schools.

Phibbs also referred to these school shooters as “active harmers.” What insulting language to use in a community where our son was murdered, and Claire Davis was murdered. They were not simply “harmed.” They are never coming home to their families. Phibbs should be ashamed of himself for using this language.

We have endorsed Darren Weekly for Douglas County sheriff because his view of school safety lines up very closely to ours. Where there are well-

I learned from Zig Ziglar and that changed my life, `You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.’ If you would like, next time we can talk about goals and accountability and accountability partners.”

And when we can never settle, always be curious, guard what goes into our hearts and minds, and have our positive word bank ready to go, it really will be a better than good life.

Keep McLellan on state board

I strongly encourage your vote to reelect Rebecca McClellan to the Colorado State Board of Education in CD6.

Rebecca McClellan has lived in my neighborhood since 1997, where she and Jim have raised their children, volunteering in our local public schools along the way. We have seen firsthand Rebecca’s commitment to public education from her volunteer work, service as a PTCO secretary, and her service as liaison to the Cherry Creek School District when she served on our Centennial City Council.

On the State Board of Education, Rebecca has worked tirelessly to increase academic excellence and opportunity for every Colorado student. As a board legislative liaison, Re-

becca McClellan testified before the legislature to help pass the bipartisan full-day kindergarten bill. She successfully advocated for our state recovery funds to prioritize proven strategies like high-impact tutoring to accelerate academic growth and boost achievement. Rebecca has worked to support the bipartisan READ Act to deliver evidence-based literacy instruction to more Colorado students, including students with dyslexia. When she noticed that on-time graduation rates were getting dinged for districts offering the ASCENT program, she worked with a legislator to fix that. And now the ASCENT program is being expanded so more high school students can earn marketable qualifications and college credits through community colleges.

We truly need Rebecca McClellan’s continued involvement and dedication to support Colorado students’ success.

Please use your vote wisely and cast a vote for Rebecca McClellan for Colorado State Board of Education.

Every fall, pumpkin lovers rejoice in knowing their favorite flavors will start migrating from humble gourds to morning mugs. While the specialty beverage has corporate origins, local baristas put a hometown twist on “PSLs” across Colorado.

The origins of pumpkin spice lattes trace to 2003, when Starbucks’ Director of Espresso Peter Dukes came up with the idea out of a desire to replicate the seasonal success of the eggnog latte and peppermint mocha, according to The Daily Meal.

“Pumpkin spice latte has become more than just a beverage,” Dukes said. “It has become a harbinger of the season.”

Since then, the drink has evolved into an annual tradition outside Starbucks.

At Nixon’s Coffee House in Englewood, one barista said pumpkin pie syrup is used instead of pumpkin spice because it gives the drink a more unique flavor.

La Dolce Vita in Arvada uses pumpkin puree sauce and has served the drink since around the time Starbucks began the trend. Unlike the big chain, at LDV the taste will depend on the barista.

Barista Tamara Hansen said she adds vanilla to her PSL so that it gets a more robust flavor profile.

“I’m putting pumpkin sauce, of course, and vanilla, and I’m going to put whipped cream and cinnamon sugar,” Hansen said. “(The vanilla) adds a little bit of sweetness.”

Her co-worker Josh Crouch’s take on the drink is inspired by pumpkin pancakes and features some maple flavors.

“It’s got real pumpkin,” Crouch said, pointing to the pumpkin puree sauce used to flavor the drink.

Not just lattes

The PSL trend has spread far beyond espresso drinks. Local breweries have jumped on the flavor train as well — somewhat begrudgingly, in certain cases.

Colorado Plus Brew Pub in Wheat Ridge serves a “darker style of pumpkin ale,” according to Manager Jordan Peck. The “Don’t Call Me Pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice Ale” ale has a slightly higher-than-average alcohol content than other pumpkin beers, Peck said.

“It’s really full-bodied,” Peck said. “It’s pumpkin spice without being over the top.”

Chris Hill, owner of Odyssey Beerwerks in Arvada didn’t necessarily want to make a pumpkin beer, so he took the idea and went a different route.

“We opened in May of 2013,” Hill said. “As fall was rolling around, everybody was telling us we needed to do a

pumpkin beer because everyone does a pumpkin beer in fall. I didn’t really want to do one, but I asked our assistant brewer if he could do a different one. He came back with the idea to do a marshmallow porter with a pumpkin spice.”

The result is the “Fluffy Pumpkin Toasted Marshmallow Porter,” which was such a hit in 2013 that Odyssey kept it going on a seasonal basis.

“It was a one-off to appease customers,” Hill admits. “The reason we brewed a second batch was we had two bar owners and two friends of owners who called and said they had or had heard of this been we did and they really wanted to put it on tap. So, we did enough to make four-eight kegs and sold it to them. In 2014, we did a full batch and sold out before we were done fermenting.”

Despite the Fluffy Pumpkin’s beginnings, Hill says he’s come around on the pumpkin porter.

“I’m in a happy place with it now,” Hill said. “It’s a really good beer. I won’t say we were opposed, but since everyone does a pumpkin beer, we don’t need to do one, but we did and it was fantastic. I won’t downplay the beer. It’s really good.”

Barnett and Son Brewing Co. in Parker began their pumpkin beer with a homespun tradition.

Owner Andrew Barnett said their ‘Nevermore Pumpkin Ale’ — fittingly named after ‘The Raven,’ by Edgar Alan Poe — originated with a Halloween tradition at the Barnett home.

“It’s an old home brew recipe. As a home brewer, we used to deck out the Barnett house for Halloween,” Barnett said. “I’d hand out beers in the driveway for neighbors who came out to Halloween. When we opened the brewery, that tradition survived.”

Barnett describes the ale as “a really good balance between the spices and the vegetable,” and said he was cautious against adding too much cinnamon, a move he believes undercuts the flavor of other pumpkin beers.

Flemish art on display in Denver

Denver Art Museum exhibit runs through Jan. 22

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Phoebus Foundation, headquartered in historic Antwerp, Belgium, shares a portion of its comprehensive 15th- to 17th-century collection of Flemish art through Jan. 22 at the Denver Art Museum — a first-time U.S. visit for this rich collection. Plan on spending as much time as possible absorbing details of all sorts in these meticulously preserved works, owned by the Phoebus Foundation. (When it leaves Denver, it will travel to the Dallas Museum of Art.)

Phoebus Foundation Curator Dr. Katharina Van Cauteren accompanied the artwork and introduced it in an Oct. 13 press visit, in a talk that, like the exhibit, combined scholarship and humor.

Paintings not only present religious and mythical themes, but a growing interest in science and society by artists who were aware of the developments of microscopes and other scientific instruments that reinforced new subjects for painters to explore, as well as personal interactions and their effects on the world...

This was a time when conflict arose over philosophies and moralities and Jan Massys, the artist we

chose to present, was banished from Antwerp for a period due to his religious ideas, which may relate to the sassy representation in his painting: “Rebus: The World Feeds Many Fools,” which shows a background of a cabinet of curiosities, popular among those wealthy enough to afford a collection. The mirrored pair looks like they know a joke about their surroundings. (A rebus is a pictographic representation of a word.)

Related, humorous and intriguing: “Portrait Of An Elegant Couple In An Art Cabinet” by Peeter Neefs II and Gillis Van Tilborgh, depicting a small portrait of the couple, surrounded by their towering art-filled walls and door with stained glass. In religious paintings of the period, donors might be depicted among the saints. The small figures surrounded by big art suggests an underlying sense of humor, as does the Massys painting.

Also represented in this collection: works by Hans Memling, Jan Gossaert, Peter Paul Rubens and studio, Jan and Catherina van Hemessen, Jacob Jordanens and Anthony van Dyck.

The exhibit is organized into six sections, beginning with “God is in the Details,” which includes holy figures in contemporary settings.

Following: “From God to the Individual,” including portraits of wealthy and famous members of society, followed by “The Fool in the Mirror,” which takes includes

humorous views of society, with its quirkiness. “The Discovery of the World” represents Flemings’ belief that one needed to explore the world’s mysteries in order to come to some understanding of the Divine.

“A World in Turmoil” gives historic ideas for the Eighty Years War (1568 to 1648), an ongoing dispute between the Netherlands and Spain, with an intention by artists to steer viewers to the Catholic faith of Spanish rulers.

The final section, “The Pursuit of Wonder,” includes shells, animals, scientific instruments and rare objects, intended to inspire a sense

of wonder. (Collaboration here with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.)

Another popular motif for collectors was lush flowers, represented by Daniel Seghers’ “Roses, Tulips and Narcissi In a Glass Vase,” with a lush bouquet, a still life, rendered in oil paint on copper, which gives the work a special glow.

IF YOU GO

This exhibit is ticketed. The Denver Art Museum is located at 100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway, Denver and is open daily. Information: denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000.

DFF45 brings the world’s stories to Denver COMING ATTRACTIONS

There’s a reason that during the worst parts of the COVID-19 pandemic, so many people turned to the film world for solace and inspiration.

The Denver Film Festival is aiming to achieve that same entertaining and enlightening power in its 45th season, which is returning to its pre-pandemic form of entirely in-person screening.

“We have the return of the real festival environment this year,” said Matthew Campbell, the festival’s artistic director. “We were just able to have a couple parties and other events last year, so we didn’t have as much conversing after the films as we normally would. Now we’re able to host more events, foster the community experience and be a catalyst for conversation.”

The 45th Denver Film Festival runs this year from Wednesday, Nov. 2 through Sunday, Nov. 13. Screenings and events will be held in several downtown locations, primarily the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, as well as the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Botanic Gardens, AMC 9 + CO 10 and the Tattered Cover East Colfax.

Some of the big films being showcased this year include the Opening Night Red Carpet presentation of “Armageddon Time,” which is directed by James Gray and features Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong and Anthony Hopkins. Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light,” Sarah Polley’s

“Women Talking” and Maria Schrader’s “She Said” are all films garnering early awards buzz that will be screened during the festival.

You also won’t want to miss “The Whale,” the Brendan Fraser film, written by Samuel D. Hunter, who will be on hand to receive the festival’s Excellence in Writing Award. Hunter’s play (which the film is based on) had its premiere in Denver, so this will be a special event.

“These special presentations are great but people will have the opportunity to see these films after the fact,” Campbell said. “But what’s great about this festival is there are many films that this might be your only chance to see.”

In addition to quality stories from the world over, the team at Denver Film works to highlight Colorado stories like: “The Holly,” which tells the story of a shooting case involving activist Terrance Roberts and the gentrification of the city; and “My Sister Liv,” a film that follows two Colorado sisters coming of age with all the pressures of social media.

With several parties to attend, as well as VR filmmaking experiences, there truly is something for everyone at the festival.

“The audiences here in Denver are really adventurous and are really discerning,” Campbell said. “Those who attend are going to come away having had a great time but also potentially learning something and getting a new outlook on film. We’re here to expand minds and create dialogue and empathy.”

Creek boys take historic tennis win

Bruins take victory at state under new CHSAA format

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek’s boys tennis team scored a historic win on Oct. 18 at the City Park tennis courts in Denver.

The Bruins won another state championship, their 45th out of 51 since 1972, which has already become part of Colorado high school history.

Creek defeated Valor Christian, 5-2, at City Park to win the first boys team title under the new format adopted by the Colorado High School Activities Association.

Previous state crowns were decided in a three-day tournament where individual state winners were also included in the team scores for the state championship. This season a separate tournament to determine individual winners was held and then a team bracket was set up to decide the state team champion.

Cherry Creek coach Art Quinn applauded the CHSAA for the new format that brought Creek, Valor, Cheyenne Mountain and Kent Denver together to play for Class 5A and 4A state team titles.

“I applaud the CHSAA for the new format which brings four teams together,” said Quinn. “This new format makes this title feel and look differently. We made history. I thought it was fun. You get to play tennis and you are with your friends.”

Junior Kris Kostadinov got Creek off to a good start with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Valor’s Mitchell Perez in a No.

Lutheran takes second straight state title in softball

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Glen Maestretti decided a few years ago that coaching girls softball at Lutheran High School might be worth it.

It was a good decision.

On Oct. 22 at the Aurora Parks complex, Lutheran won its second straight state title with a 3-0 victory over defending champions Holy Family in the Class 4A title game.

It gives the Lions a 3A runnerup finish, a 3A state crown and now a 4A state championship in the three years since the program was adopted at the school. The Lions have compiled a threeyear record of 74-3.

3 singles match.

Valor’s No. 1 doubles team of Graham Beukelman and Drew Schell defeated Jack Eikelberner and Charlie Stern 6-1, 6-3, but the Bruins’ Kiril Kostadinov joined his brother as a winner with a 6-7, 6-2, 6-2 triumph over Jace Nakamura

At No. 1 singles, Christian Trevey of Valor came on strong to get a 4-6, 6-3 ,6-4 win over Aram Izmirian to knot the team score at two apiece.

Creek grabbed a 3-2 lead after Matthew Hu and Trevor Robinson rallied for a 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 win over Ryan Mandes and Ryan Greenfield.

The team title was clinched when Creek’s No. 3 doubles team of Trey Zurcher and Ryder Landry downed Harrison Wentworth and Jack Mohler 6-1, 6-2.

“We both played well,” said

Landry. “There were a lot of deuces but we came out on top.

“It’s awesome, it feels amazing to clinch the title for the team. The format is something new and I like it.”

Creek wrapped up the day with a win at No. 4 doubles with Tate Hutchins and Drew Kaprielian winning, 6-3, 6-4 over Rory MacEwan and Drew Summers.

“The boys played really hard,” said Valor coach Bill Epping. “I’m really proud and obviously Creek is a formable opponent. We were second last year and second this year. We’re knocking on the door, we’ve got to knock the door down.”

The three-day 5A state tournament for individuals was held Oct. 13-15.

captured the No. 1 singles title with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 win over Izmirian. Nakamura got past senior Kiril Kostadinov 7-5, 5-7, 7-5 at No. 2 singles while Kris Kostadinov won the No. 3 singles title over Brady Jenkins of Regis Jesuit, 6-3, 7-6.

All four individual doubles matches matched Creek against Valor.

The Eikelberner-Stern duo downed Beukelman-Schell, 6-1, 6-4 at No. 1 doubles while ZurcherLandry defeated Mohler-Wentworth 6-1, 6-4 at No. 3 doubles. Hutchins and Kaprielan downed MacEwanSummers in the No. 4 doubles title match.

Mandes-Greenfield of Valor captured the No. 2 doubles state title with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 win over Robinson and Hu.

“When I got word there was an opening I talked to our pitching coach and he said let’s go coach at Lutheran,” said Maestretti. “I

was coaching over at Chaparral. It was a perfect calling for me.

“Winning back-to-back titles feels unbelievable and for the

two seniors (Taylor Cramer and Faith Byler) on this team, they have been in the state championship game three years in a row.”

In the Class 5A championship game, Douglas County waited until the seventh inning to create any offense and dropped a 7-3 decision to top-seeded Columbine.

Maestretti’s daughter and pitcher Hailey dominated the game against Holy Family. The junior left-hander stuck out 17 batters and allowed only four hits. In four state tournament games Hailey Maestretti allowed only two unearned runs, gave up nine hits and struck out 43 batters in 27 innings pitched.

Hailey Maestretti has committed to play softball at the University of Utah.

“Hailey was probably seven or eight, just a wild kid who threw hard in the basement,” said Glen Maestretti. “We found a

“Hailey is one of those pitchers that doesn’t get fazed a lot on the mound. She keeps her composure well, just dialed in with Dad yelling at her sometimes. She just goes out and gets the job done.”

Hailey Maestretti ran into trouble in the seventh inning against Holy Family, which had two runners on base with one out, but Hailey stuck out two batters to end the game.

“It feels awesome to win the state title,” said Hailey Maestretti. “My screwball and changeup were working the best. We have great players on the team, great hitters and great fielders. Everything is pretty good.”

Lutheran (28-1) got all the offense support it needed with Alekisia Severson’s RBI single in the second inning and then Byler added a two-run single in the sixth inning.
