Tony Spurlock said during a news conference Oct. 26.

The two suspects were identified by the Douglas County Coroner’s Office as David Strain, 31, and Clarissa Daws, 29, the sheriff’s office announced Oct. 27 on Facebook. Both suspects were from Pueblo.

Deputy Cocha Heyden, a public information officer for the sheriff’s office.

A deputy from the sheriff’s office Pattern Crimes Unit, a unit that specifically looks for auto thieves and stolen cars, was checking the parking garage and noticed a suspicious black Kia with no license plates, Spurlock said.

Couple from Ukraine finds support from town

Castle Rock community welcomes Olena and Kostya Plangeu

BY MADDIE BROWNING SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, the country has suffered devastating destruction with 6.6 million people displaced inside Ukraine, and more than 6.3 million people fleeing to neighboring countries. The war has also taken more than 6,000 Ukrainian civilian lives.

Olena and Kostya Plangeu recently moved to the Castle Rock area after leaving their home in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. They first moved to Germany about seven months ago to stay with friends and relocated to the U.S. three months later with help from United for Ukraine.

United for Ukraine — an international non-government organization working to provide emergency relief and help rebuild the country — provided the resources they needed to reestablish their lives in the U.S.

The couple’s 17-year-old daughter, Jenifer, is still in Germany studying violin at The Hanover University of Music, Drama. Olena said it

A total of six deputies were involved in the incident, according to the sheriff’s office.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office released edited body camera footage on Oct. 27 of the fatal shootout.

Kane is hopeful voters will pass bond, mill levy

Funding could help teacher retention

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With less than two weeks until the election, Douglas County School District Superintendent Erin Kane is feeling positive about the fate of the $60 million mill levy override and $450 million bond on the ballot.

In the last few months, Kane said she has done more than a hundred events to spread the word about the need for the funding to pay staff more competitively, build the first new neighborhood schools since 2010 and expand career and technical education opportunities.

“I feel like we have done everything possible over the last four to five months to educate voters on how our district is funded and what the implications of the funding means for us,” she said.

Kane acknowledged obstacles to

Castle Rock begins new truck route program to reduce freight tra c in neighborhoods

Through an ordinance approved by town council, the town has created its first truck route program to help reduce cut-through freight traffic in residential areas in Castle Rock.

According to the town’s news release, the program identifies and marks designated routes for commercial drivers to follow when in our community and establishes a fine structure and exclusions. Trucks with destinations away from the routes will be able to deviate from the approved routes to complete deliveries. Although new to the Town, similar truck route programs have been implemented in nearby communities of Castle Pines and Parker.

The news release said town’s truck route program will help

lic to a Veterans Day ceremony to honor our American heroes. The event begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Veterans Monument Plaza, 301 Wilcox St. in Castle Rock. Learn more at https://bit. ly/3zwAQkl.

extend the life of town roads. The truck routes will ensure that commercial freight traffic will stay on roadways that can best accommodate its weight. Traffic along the routes is projected to increase by less than 1% and is expected to have a negligible impact on noise levels in residential areas near the designated truck route. Although the comprehensive truck route program begins in October, the routes will not be official until signage is installed along the roadside. The project team anticipates all signs to be installed by the end of 2022. After signage has been posted, commercial freight traffic will need to traverse along the Town’s designated truck routes to make their deliveries.

Campaign finance complaint filed against Invest in DCSD Group supports district mill levy

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The political issue committee supporting the Douglas County School District’s bond and mill levy override is facing possible campaign fi nance violations for promoting an event at the Larkspur Fire Station with other Republican candidates.

A review by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Offi ce into Invest in DCSD, the political issue committee supporting DCSD’s $60 million mill levy override and $450 million bond, found three potential campaign fi nance violations regarding the event held on Oct. 20.

The Secretary of State’s Offi ce identifi ed the possible campaign fi nance violations as inappropriate use of government property to hold a campaign event, improper contributions to political candidates by advertising the event and not including a mandatory fi nancial disclaimer on the ad for the event.

Christa Gilstrap, a founder of Invest in DCSD, said she is working with the Secretary of State’s Offi ce to address the potential violations.

“I have been in contact with (the Secretary of State’s Offi ce) since I

was made aware of this complaint and they’ve basically told us it’s unlikely a violation has occurred, but we need to go through the process,” she said.

The review was prompted by a

complaint fi led with the Secretary of State’s Offi ce on Oct. 17 alleging that Invest in DCSD inappropriately advertised for Republican candidates by participating in the Larkspur event and sharing

promotional materials for it.

The event, which took place at the Larkspur Fire Station, was a conversation on education and crime moderated by Tom Wiens, the CEO of New West Capital, and featuring DCSD board member Mike Peterson, who spoke about the bond and mill levy override at the event.

Also invited were Republican candidates Mark Baisley in Colorado Senate District 4 and Brandi Bradley in Colorado House District 39, as well as Darren Weekly, a candidate for Douglas County sheriff, Sheri Davis, who is running for Douglas County clerk and Toby Damisch, a candidate for Douglas County assessor.

Evidence for the violations comes from an Oct. 16 Facebook post on the Invest in DCSD page that promoted the event with an ad including the names of the participating candidates and no information on who paid for the event, which is required by law.

The Larkspur Fire Station is government property.

Gilstrap told Colorado Community Media that Invest in DCSD did not host the event, just shared information about it after Peterson was invited to attend.

Under state law, Invest in DCSD can dispute the allegations or submit documentation showing the violations were fi xed. Invest in DCSD has until Nov. 10 to cure the potential violations.

Less-obvious signs point to possible COVID-19 upsurge

Omicron-targeted vaccines are available

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The omicron variant is causing milder illnesses than earlier variants of COVID-19, but Elizabeth Carlton implores Coloradans not to underestimate it.

“It still killed a lot of people,” said Carlton, an associate professor at the Colorado School of Public Health.

“So it’s no joke.”

Coronavirus data watchers see signs of a possible upswing in COVID-19 case in the coming months and are working to minimize the impact of upswing on Colorado’s health care system by imploring residents to stay up to date on vaccinations and to take prudent measures to protect others if they become ill.

Reported COVID-19 cases plateaued in the past several weeks. There are less than 900 cases across the state, down from surges in excess of 3,000 cases in June and more than 20,000 in January.

Colorado is also far from the bed crises hospitals weathered during some of the worst months of the pandemic. In late October, roughly 3% of hospital beds were in use by coronavirus patients, according to Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment data.

But the numbers don’t tell the

whole story, Carlton said.

“Reported cases are the tip of the iceberg,” Carlton said.

The percent of tests coming back positive has jumped up from around 5% in early October to about 9%. And wastewater data from the Denver area also indicates the virus is more prevalent.

Carlton doesn’t know for sure what’s causing it, but after two years, pandemic restrictions have loosened everywhere. The way people “mix” with each other is different.

“Not just school, but all the ways people gather is probably closer to pre-pandemic levels than it has been before,” Carlton added.

Spikes have been tracked in the fall and it is unclear exactly why, she said. It could be that the colder weather leads people to gather more indoors. Or it could be due to changes in humans’ immune system at this time of year.

With flu cases typically rising around the same time of year, health officials are doubling down on their messaging about vaccines and haven’t ruled out that a more severe version of coronavirus can appear, as strains have in the past.

New shots can protect self, vulnerable Coloradans

Coronavirus vaccines don’t always stop the illness, but they may prevent a serious case that requires hospitalization. Vaccines also help protect people who cannot take the vaccine, like those who have imparied immune systems. Health officials

recommend a mindset that minimizes risks for exposure to oneself and others.

“People who are at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 or who interact with people at higher risk should consider their individual risk, which may include taking additional precautions such as masking and avoiding crowded public spaces,” said a statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center.

People at high risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID include those older than 65, people who are medically obese or overweight, people with other medical issues.

For those who are infected, Paxlovid, an oral antiviral pill that targets COVID-19, is available.

Another form of treatment is “monoclonal antibodies,” which are given as infusions, either through an IV or through injections, like with a vaccine. They help a person’s immune system recognize and respond to the virus.

Voting experts note state’s ‘Gold Standard’

Colorado’s elections system praised for its accuracy

BY VIGNESH RAMACHANDRAN COLORADO NEWS COLLABORATIVE

For 102 years, the League Of Women Voters has helped Americans understand how they can cast their vote in elections.

The nonpartisan organization has never endorsed a political party or candidate, providing a valuable resource for voters of all political persuasions.

The Colorado News Collaborative is speaking with nonpartisan experts to help voters understand more about the integrity of the vote as unfounded claims of voter fraud continue to run rampant ahead of November’s midterm election.

Beth Hendrix is executive director of the League of Women Voters of Colorado, which educates voters about the security and effi cacy of Colorado’s election system. The group recently published a whitepaper breaking down the components of the state’s voting system to explain why it often is regarded as leading the nation. It also produced a nonpartisan guide to the 11 state issues on Colorado’s ballot this year in English and Spanish.

This Q&A has been edited for clarity and length.

by The

Some have said Colorado’s election system is better than those in all other states. Is that true?

Absolutely. We say [it’s the] gold standard. There are a few states that are close behind — Washington, Oregon. It’s always the Western states.

Why? Aren’t there aspects to Colorado’s election system that need improvements?

Here in Colorado, we’re doing pretty well. That said, we have people in our legislature that want to get rid of mail-in ballots and want to go back to voting only on Election Day because they feel that’s the only way it can be secure. I disagree. The League disagrees.

Other states are purging voter

rolls, making it more difficult to vote, and that’s not happening in Colorado, yet. We’re going to do everything we can to not allow it to happen.

We’re not resting on our laurels [in Colorado], but we’re good. We have a safe and secure and innovative system that’s ahead of any place else in the nation.

How hard would it be to defraud the vote in Colorado?

I think it would be pretty darn hard [to defraud the vote in Colorado].

I suppose that someone could take their spouse’s ballot and forge a signature, and then hope their spouse didn’t complain. But I don’t think it happens.

How can we trust that every vote gets counted in Colorado?

Counties have a small bit of variation, autonomy in how they do it. But generally speaking, a ballot is never alone with only one person. There are always at least two and usually a group of bipartisan people. The number of safeguards is pretty extraordinary.

The complaint I hear most is that voter registration rolls aren’t up to date and that dead people still get ballots and things like that. I’m sure that does happen. But overall, Colorado keeps its voter registration rolls pretty well up-to-date — partnering with the Postal Service for change of address, social security death index, the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) to make sure people aren’t voting in other states.

Then there’s the ballot tracing. You can sign up very easily for ballot tracing. And you get a text when your ballot is opened, when it’s counted. So the process is very transparent, while maintaining security.

What are common misconceptions about Colorado’s election security?

The process is sometimes seen as more partisan than it is — that political parties have a say in the counting. And while the political parties have election judges there, it is bi-, tri- multi-partisan.

People [also] think that the process of counting ballots is up

Multi-sport simulator opens in Highlands Ranch

People don’t understand how easy it is to get involved in poll watching, if they so choose. A lot of people think that it’s a secre tive, closed, non-transparent process, and that is not the case.

“We’ve seen a huge increase in demand for the Northridge simu lator, especially in the winter when people can’t actually get out on the golf courses,” Isham said.

Up to four golfers can play from a selection of 90 different golf courses and 20 golf skill chal

lenges. The Southridge simulator offers multiple other sports as well, such as basketball, base ball, football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer and dodgeball. It even has carnival games available.

Isham said the simulator is good for all ages and various abilities.

Fifty years of Joy

Joy Lutheran celebrates decades of service

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Sept. 11, 2001, Gwen Wilhelm and her son visited her husband’s grave in Parker. On the way home, her son noticed many cars parked outside of Joy Lutheran Church and asked if they could stop to attend service.

Wilhelm was raised Lutheran, but said she lost touch from her religion as a teenager and young adult. On that day, Wilhelm says Joy brought her back to her roots.

“The minute I walked in the church on 9/11… everyone welcomed me and it brought me back to my Lutheranism,” she said. “I felt that, coming into that church, no one cared if I was white or Black or what I was. That it’s a place where people can come and be consoled and feel that they’re being heard and listened to.”

This year, Joy Lutheran Church is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Officially established in 1972, the church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Rocky Mountain Synod and has slightly over 1,000 members, according to Senior Pastor Rodney Hank.

According to its website, the church seeks to be an active, open, caring church that honors God while strengthening each other and its com-

Within its walls, there are weekly services, ministry groups for youth and adults and a preschool. The church also offers its space for other community groups to use, including the Boy Scouts of America and Alcoholics Anonymous, according to a press release.

A large part of the church’s work also takes place in the greater Parker and metro-Denver community.

In partnership with the Parker Task Force, which was co-founded by an early member of Joy and is directed by a current congregation member, the church helps provide food and other support to community members with the goal of homelessness prevention, Hank said.

work, Hank said Joy offers meals and a temporary place to stay for mothers and children experiencing homelessness.

In addition, Joy maintains a room at Joshua Station in Denver that families can use as transitional housing, Hank said.

“Joy has always seemed to be a church that has jumped right into the Parker community,” Director of Music Ministry Linda Holcombe said. “It is not a church that just sits up there on the hill and just kind of looks out and doesn’t get involved. We get involved.”

In addition to its service to the community, Hank said the people at Joy are what make it a special place.

Dear Davis Schilken,

hardworking people. And really easy to love,” he said. “They’re committed, not only to the community, but also to being faithful people and doing the work of Christ in those communities -- which means, to them, loving, serving, welcoming and reaching out.”

Wilhelm wants the Parker community to know that, as it was for her on the day she first stepped inside, Joy is a place of acceptance.

“Everyone is welcome,” she said. “We always welcome anyone who walks in the door.”

At 9:30am on Sunday, Oct. 30, Joy celebrated its 50th anniversary with a special service featuring guest sermons, a variety of music and a lunch following the service.

My husband and I have been fortunate enough to have the ability to give parts of our estate away. We have been able to help our children and grandchildren with college tuition and books. Our family is now constantly growing with new in laws and even more grandbabies! What are some other ways that we can help our family?

Sincerely, Gifting Gretchen

Dear Gifting Gretchen,

We are elated to hear that you and your family are so generous with one another! There are few things as assuring as a family that is always supportive and helpful, regardless of the scenario. In your case, there are a few ways to help family members with things like buying a new home, helping with higher education, or even “gap year” experiences.

First, what is a gift? A gift is any transfer to an individual, either directly or indirectly, where full consideration (measured in money or money’s worth) is not received in return.

LEADERSHIP MATTERS

As your County Commissioner, Abe has worked hard with you to make a positive impact in our community.

A few of his achievements include:

Balanced budget - zero debt

Approved the largest tax cut in the history of Douglas County returning millions back to citizens

Kept Douglas County free and open during COVID

Advocated for the economy, public safety, mental health, and your constitutional rights

Protected natural resources - introduced wildfire initiative and support preservation of open spaces, parks, trails, and historic resources

Its important we define what a “gift” is in the Estate and Tax planning world.

One of the easiest and most efficient ways to achieve this goal is by Lifetime Gifting. This might include gifts to spouses, children, political or religious institutions, and tuition. One of the most common ways to do this without triggering a tax implication is by utilizing the Annual Gift Exclusion. This exclusion is a defined dollar value that increases every year with inflation.

For 2022, the Annual Gift Exclusion amount is $16,000. This will increase to $17,000 for 2023. A gift of that amount, or below it, can be made by a single individual to an individual once a year, but to as many individuals as you would like.

What that means is that Gretchen can give a single gift of up to $17,000 without triggering a tax implication to her grandson Jimmy. She can only do this once a year for Jimmy. However, she can do that once a year for any number of individuals.

If you have any questions regarding gifting or any of your other estate planning needs, please contact the Davis Schilken, PC team (303)670-9855. We make estate planning simple!

the funding questions passing, such as rising inflation and a majority of voters that don’t have students in the schools, but said she feels the district and the school board have taken the needed steps to make the questions successful.

Polling done by the district earlier this year showed only about 40% of voters supported the idea of a bond and mill levy override.

“We absolutely know it’s a challenging environment, but I think when the board made the decision to put the questions on the ballot, the board was expressing that they felt there’s some urgency around this situation for our schools,” she said.

When it comes to the cost of the mill levy override for taxpayers, the district calculated it at $52 per year -- or $1 per week -- for each $100,000 in home value as determined by the assessor’s office. For a house valued at $500,000, the annual cost would be $255.

Passing the bond would maintain

current property taxes, but residential property taxes would decrease $10 per year for each $100,000 of home value if the bond fails.

Should the mill levy override pass, the school board has already approved a salary schedule to increase

to 12%.

“It will help us be very competitive with Jeffco and Littleton public schools and it will get us about halfway to the distance between us and Cherry Creek schools,” Kane said. “I anticipate it will help us hold on to our folks.”

If approved by voters, the bond would go to building three new elementary schools, as well as improving and maintaining the district’s other 111 buildings. Kane called the district’s capital assets a “never-ending” investment.

“Continuing to be able to take care of our buildings benefits every

ending situation, but the district wouldn’t be able to raise pay or build new schools.

“If (the mill levy override) doesn’t pass, we don’t have the ability to pay competitively to our neighbors and we’ll continue to struggle with that,” she said.

Kane said that if the bond and mill levy override don’t pass this year, it’s likely district staff will recommend to the school board to put funding questions on the 2023 ballot.

“I would anticipate staff would continue to communicate the urgency of our situation to the board,” she said.

Substitute teacher arrested on suspicion of sexual exploitation of children

Centennial resident charged

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Centennial resident and local substitute teacher was arrested Oct. 28 on suspicion of sexual exploitation of children, a class 5 felony, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Offi ce said in a news release.

Jose Tamayo, 25, worked as a substitute teacher for Littleton Public Schools in 2021 and 2022, the sheriff’s offi ce said in the release.

He reportedly also worked for Englewood Public Schools as a substitute teacher and paraprofessional during the 2020-2021 school year.

Investigators worked with the school districts and concluded they “have no reason to believe any victims were students of either district,” the sheriff’s office said in the release.

According to the release, investigators received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, revealing someone had uploaded suspected child pornography through Snapchat, a social media app, using the

Through an investigation done by Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children, investigators determined the suspected person lived in the City of Centennial and worked as a substitute teacher for Littleton Public Schools, the sheriff’s office said in the release.

The sheriff’s office asked that if anyone has any information on this case to call its investigations tip line at 720-874-8477.

Colorado Community Media has reached out to Littleton Public Schools and Englewood Public Schools for comment and to confirm any emplyment of Tamayo in the school districts.

in length, appears to show three patrol cars parked around a black Kia, where Strain and Daws were allegedly inside, at approximately 11:45 p.m. on Oct. 25.

The Kia was parked, turned off and had a shade visor across the windshield, the video shows.

A deputy is shown holding up a firearm and announcing the presence of the sheriff’s office, ordering those inside the Kia to roll down the windows. Other deputies make the same command, but no response is given.

The video shows the Kia turn on and start moving back and forth, appearing to hit a patrol car parked in front of it.

As the Kia is moving back and forth, a deputy is shown hitting a side window of the vehicle with a long tool. The video then shows gunfire exchanged between the suspects and the deputies.

“There were three separate volleys of shootings between the suspects and our officers,” Spurlock said. “In each one of those, the suspects fired at us first.”

Spurlock said he was told the span between the three volleys of shootings was about seven to nine minutes. He estimated there were about 35 rounds fired between the suspects and deputies.

Both suspects, one sitting in the passenger seat of the car and the other sitting in the driver’s seat, were killed in the car while they were allegedly

shooting at officers, Spurlock said. They were the only two people in the car.

Spurlock said the suspects were in a stolen car out of Pueblo, and both suspects had warrants for their arrest related to auto theft and theft.

One deputy was injured during the incident, Spurlock said.

The deputy was not hit by any bullets, though a bullet reportedly went through the sleeve of his shirt. He was hit “with glass in the face from the driver’s side window,” Spurlock said.

Spurlock said the officer was treated and released at a local hospital in Lone Tree the same day, and he is fine.

The incident is being investigated by the 18th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team, Spurlock said, and detectives from the Aurora Police Department are the lead as the investigation moves forward.

All six deputies are on administrative leave while the response team investigates, per protocol, Spurlock said.

Spurlock said this is the first officerinvolved shooting the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has had this year.

“Our officers were very, very lucky last night that something didn’t happen more dangerous to them,” Spurlock said. “This is, again, is another one of the things that law enforcement across the metro area are seeing every day — stolen cars, suspects in the stolen cars armed, and they’re engaging police officers around the metro area.”

Spurlock says auto theft is top issue

“We have been saying for the last year and a half that auto theft has been the number one crime that has been affecting the, basically the metro area, because it’s related to other … crimes — theft, burglary and drugrelated,” he said.

According to Colorado Crime Statistics, the number of attempted and completed motor vehicle thefts in Colorado in 2021 was 42,049, compared to 31,441 in 2020 and 22,395 in 2019.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office 2021 Statistics Summary reported that, according to the CATPA-Metropolitan Auto Theft Task Force, motor

vehicle thefts increased 39% across the Denver metro area from 2020 to 2021.

Residents can help in a number of ways, Spurlock said, including taking valuables out of their car, making sure their car is locked and calling local law enforcement if they see something suspicious.

“If you steal a car in Douglas County, we’re going to chase you,” he said. “We have a specific unit just designed to go after folks that are stealing cars, and it is our goal to make sure that the people (who) are stealing cars, they don’t come to this county and do it.”

Colorado Community Media previously reported on the chase-policy differences between Littleton police and Douglas County, given that at least five crashes have occurred in the City of Littleton since 2019 after police pursuits by Douglas County deputies. While Littleton’s policy calls for officers to rarely engage in chases, Douglas County’s policy is widerreaching, allowing for pursuits of potentially non-violent offenders and for cars believed to be stolen.

In the article, Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens said anything short of a violent felony is not worth the risk to the general public. Spurlock justified the pursuit of reported stolen vehicles, saying if officers did not choose to pursue anyone with a stolen car, “every car would be subject to be stolen at any time with no retribution whatsoever.”

Spurlock said the sheriff’s office has a number of license plate readers stationed around the county, as well as mobile license plate readers on some of its vehicles. He said they are “very successful” and helpful in identifying stolen cars.

He said there are also some Flock cameras in the county, which are cameras that capture images of license plates of cars driving by.

“We’re going to be aggressive on anyone who steals cars in this county,” Spurlock said. “And I’m asking for every other judicial district to be aggressive in the prosecution of auto thieves.”

Spurlock calls for stopping PR bonds

Spurlock said he urges anyone who was the victim of an auto-theft to contact the district attorney in their jurisdiction and “demand prosecution of auto-thefts.”

“We can no longer be letting people that are stealing cars just out on PR

bonds,” he said, referring to a per sonal recognizance bond.

According to the Colorado Judicial Branch’s website, a PR bond is “a sig nature bond that involves no money or property as long as the defendant appears at all future court dates.”

“We need the district attorneys be hind us, saying that they are going to prosecute these cases. And we’ve got to find ways to stop PR bonding every person who steals a car,” Spurlock said.

John Kellner — the district at torney for the 18th Judicial District, which includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln County Combined Courts — addressed PR bonds in an online article posted Sept. 8.

In the article, published on the 18th Judicial District Attorney Data Dashboard, Kellner said some law enforcement leads have suggested that reductions in the frequency of PR bonds would help solve the motor vehicle theft crisis.

“When 3 out of every 4 defendants charged with aggravated motor vehicle theft have at least one other pending case, we agree that there is a problem with the frequency these individuals are being released during the course of their case,” Kellner said in the article.

However, Kellner said this “doesn’t appear to be an issue in our judicial district,” citing an internal review of 61 cases filed in January 2022 which included at least one charge for ag gravated motor vehicle theft.

Of those 61 cases, 16% of the de fendants received PR bonds from the judge, according to the article.

Kellner noted in the article that having a cash/surety bond instead of a PR bond does not guarantee a defendant will stay in custody, but “it does raise the stakes and incentivize compliance.”

During a news conference on Oct. 19 about the indictment of six individu als allegedly involved in a criminal enterprise, Kellner said he hopes the legislature will increase the penalties for car theft, “making all car theft a felony offense next year at the legisla tive session.”

“She’s OK. We think it is good decision that stays there because we didn’t know how it will be in United States,” said Olena.

Olena and Kostya owned an auto body repair shop in Kyiv until it closed for three months after the war began. It has since reopened, but the family decided to leave Ukraine, concerned about their safety.

“We can’t plan anything because we didn’t plan on coming to United States before,” said Olena.

She said their future residence will depend on where she and her husband can find good jobs and whether it becomes safe to return to Ukraine.

Olena said she is very proud of Ukraine’s soldiers as well as their president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but the toll of war weighs heavy on her.

Thankful for news

COLUMN

In September, I attended the Colorado Press Association annual awards ceremony, where we watched some of our own reporters and staff members be honored for excellent work along with others throughout the state who work day and night to bring the public the news. Bringing the public the news has not been an easy task — especially in the last four or five years.

One of my favorite parts of the annual newspapers awards is the advertising design category. While not in my area of expertise, I absolutely respect what newspaper designers can do for companies and programs. These ads are always creative, beautiful and informative.

This year, in the “House Ad” category, I noticed a common theme. A house ad is one that a newspaper creates to promote our work and abilities. These ads might talk about circulation, staff, programs, etc.

However, a theme this year is what would likely happen without them, creating these amazing designs with the term “News Desert.” A news desert is essentially a community where residents have significantly diminished access to important local news and information that feeds a local democracy.

I understand that major news stations are not going anywhere. We need our information on Congress and current administration. We need to know about major news events on a national level.

I get that publications and digital outlets such as People magazine give the endless updates on what is happening with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry today. I understand those clicks are going to continue and, while I do not care, those headlines will continue fill my news feeds.

However, what I worry about is losing my local news coverage, and not because I collect a paycheck from them.

No other media outlets cover the nuts and bolts of your community. It is the local newspaper telling you what is happening with the local school districts. It is reporters like those working with Colorado Community Media who will tell you that your local town council has now adopted an increased fee schedule for water rates.

It is organizations like Colorado Community Media who will ask the questions on why one county, such as Douglas County, will continue chasing a suspect in a stolen car while the City of Littleton or Arapahoe County likely won’t.

We are the ones who can truly answer whether or not teachers in Douglas County are underpaid to help you make a decisions on the current election ballot.

We are the ones who will take the time to talk to the candidates running in the less flashy races like treasurer and coroner to help in making an Election Day decision.

I am thankful for the work my reporters did on local candidates because I was definitely able to fill out my ballot with knowledge because of it.

I am happy to read about a new business opening that no one else outside of my area will care about.

I am thankful to have that local news that, as I got older, I realized truly provides the information that affects my everyday life. Taxes, schools, retailers, restaurants. I would not know a thing about them if it was not for local news outlets.

However, as newsrooms and fundings continue to decrease – the local, community newspapers pay a price. Pay a price that, I fear, will not be absolutely missed until it is gone.

Engagement makes all the di erence

After checking in, the couple decided to head to the hotel bar for a nightcap. Luckily two seats opened up just as they walked in. They sat down and the bartender stood with his back turned watching the television as a Thursday Night Football game was being televised. The couple waited and when they saw a second bartender come in their direction, they thought they might finally be able to order a drink. They were disappointed as the second bartender also turned their back to watch the game.

Finally getting their attention, they received their drinks. No engagement with the patrons, just back to watching the game. Having visited more than a bar or two in my day, and having been a bartender earlier in my life, I have a great appreciation for those great bartenders who know that sometimes people come looking for an ear that will listen, a friend to talk to, a therapist to hear their problems, or someone to celebrate with. The couple finished their drinks and left.

Here’s another story that was shared with me by a sales leader. She was on a virtual sales call with one of her salespeople. They were using Zoom so they could all turn on their webcam and see each other, almost as if they were face-to-face and in person. The sales leader was invited to the meeting to share specific and new information with the prospect. The salesperson thought it would be better received coming from a senior leader.

As the meeting went on and the sales leader started discussing important data while also gathering great information through

relevant questioning, she noticed that her salesperson wasn’t really paying attention. They looked distracted and were probably multi-tasking. Although she noticed it, her hopes were that the prospect wouldn’t really notice. Well into the discussion the salesperson finally started paying attention, but as it turned out, it was a little too little and a little too late. The final straw was when the salesperson brought up an irrelevant topic and asked an unrelated question. Unfortunately, they did not win the business.

How many times have we tuned out those around us only to tune into a game, an app, or something else? If we are being honest, it’s probably happening more often than we care to admit.

Imagine the teacher not being truly engaged with their student, the spouse not tuned in to their better half, the parent not engaging with their child, or a best friend losing interest in something that is important to their friend in that moment. In any one of those situations, I believe the relationship will suffer when we fail to truly engage.

Engagement is so vitally important in any relationship. Combine engagement with intentionality and we have a true winning recipe for a winning relationship to thrive. An example of intentional engagement is when we are watching television and our spouse or child asks us a question or wants to talk and we simply turn off the TV and intentionally engage. A common mistake that sends the wrong message is when we say, “OK, how about at the next commercial or at halftime, or when the show is over?” When we do that, we are saying that the game or show is more important than our child or spouse.

County Councils on Aging — your advocates

Enacted in 1965, in response to concerns by policymakers about the lack of community social services for older citizens, the Older Americans Act (OAA) established the Administration on Aging and the aging services network. Since then, the OAA has been amended numerous times. Recently reauthorized in 2020 through 2024, this law ensures that the voices of older adults are heard by decision makers and elected officials.

The Seniors’ Council of Douglas County (SCDC) is our county’s Council on Aging. It is an all-volunteer organization that promotes living well/aging well for our residents age 60 and older. We aim to understand and communicate the

On Sept. 4, Chileans across the world anxiously checked their social media feeds and Whatsapp group chats, wondering about the future of their country. Would Chile adopt a new constitution?

The answer fl ashed across their phone screens that evening. In an overwhelming referendum result, about 62% of the population of Chile voted to reject what would have been one of the most progressive constitutions in the world.

In Santiago, supporters of the new constitution comforted each other in sadness while those who opposed it waved celebratory fl ags in the streets.

Meanwhile, Chileans in Colorado mourned and celebrated from over 5,000 miles away.

Pame Bradford, who works in Fort Collins Public Schools, was happy voters rejected the draft. An Aurora-based artist named Adolfo Romero, on the other hand, said the result felt like a deep blow to his heart.

Considering their opposing views on one of the most pivotal referendums in Chile’s democratic history, it may come as a surprise that Romero and Bradford are siblings.

Although they grew up under the same roof, the two Colorado-based Chileans have different opinions on what will cure their country’s ailments going forward.

From Chile to Colorado

When Romero was in high school and Bradford had recently fi nished, their family moved from Arica, a city in northern Chile, to the capital of Santiago.

Attending high school in Santiago among politically active peers was

a formative experience for Romero.

Although he does not identify with a particular party, he said his political beliefs are left-leaning.

Bradford, on the other hand, was she focused on “things with disci-

less interested in politics. She said she focused on “things with discipline” growing up, such as sports and martial arts.

When she was 25 years old, Bradford moved to the U.S.

“It might be kind of cheesy, but I moved because I felt that I was going to fi nd love here,” she said. “I actually did fi nd it.”

After traveling for a few years, she met her husband and settled down in his home state of Colorado. In 2008, her parents moved to the U.S. Romero followed suit in 2014 to be

The social explosion

Both Bradford and Romero watched from afar.

This was the beginning of a nationwide sociopolitical movement referred to as the “ estallido social ” or the “social explosion.”

For months, protesters demanded changes in economic and social policies that had been in place since the country’s military dictatorship, which ended in 1990.

The estallido was a frightening time for some Chileans. Bradford said she was concerned as protesters burned metro stations and destroyed private property.

“I was really distraught… I mean, we are really connected to the country and when you see bad things happening, it affects you here,” she said.

“I know we could have come up with better ways to do it… the reasons might be good, but not the way it was

presented.”

Romero, unlike his sister, said he was hopeful when the demonstrations began. After being involved in community movements for most of his life, it felt like his country was fi nally awakening to its problems.

“One of the conversations that I used to have with my friends was, ‘Damn, when are the people gonna be awake? When are the people gonna react to these conditions in this country?’” he said. “Finally, it happened in 2019.”

Although he wishes political change were achievable through “just talking,” Romero said it’s sometimes necessary for people to take to the streets.

But Chileans who went to the streets were met with excessive force from police, according to the Human Rights Watch. From Oct. 18 to Nov. 20, in 2019 almost 9,000 protesters and bystanders were injured and 26 people died, according to the organization.

For Romero, the police response to the protests was the most tragic part of the situation.

“It was very sad… to see how many people got injured… by the police,” he said. “I felt very powerless.”

The road to referendum

The demonstrations during the social movement of 2019-2020 covered a wide range of issues, including wages, social security, water rights, education, healthcare, environmental concerns, gender inequality, indigenous rights and more.

As the movement continued, protesters started turning their attention toward a document that could address all of these problems at once: the constitution.

“That was the core of everything. That is the core that supports the model, that holds the entire system,” Romero said. “So when (the protestors) chose that point, it to me was fi nally the right pathway to get a change.”

Chile’s current constitution was written in 1980 under military dictator Augusto Pinochet, who held power from 1973 until 1990. After ousting socialist President Salvador Allende in a U.S.-supported coup d’etat, Pinochet implemented vast neoliberal economic reforms.

Under Pinochet, the availability and affordability of health care, social security, education and even water were largely driven by the free market. The 1980 constitution, despite modern amendments, maintains a role for private sectors for these services.

These neoliberal decisions bolstered Chile’s economy but did so at the expense of extensive human rights abuses during the dictatorship. More than 3,000 people were killed or “disappeared” under Pinochet’s regime and over 27,000 more were victims of torture, according to Chilean commission reports.

Still, some applaud the dictator for the economic growth during his reign. Others condemn his human rights abuses and point to his economic policies as the root of Chile’s devastating inequality.

About a month after the protests began, then-President Sebastián Piñera agreed to hold a nationwide referendum to vote on the possibility of rewriting the dictatorship-era constitution. On Oct. 25, 2020, 78% of voting Chileans approved the decision to rewrite a new charter.

On Oct. 18, 2019, an increase in the metro fare sparked a nationwide socio-political movement in Chile. Here, protesters in Santiago hit pots and pans in a common form of protest called “cacerolazo.”

Protestors in Santiago filled the central plaza to call for change. Formerly known as Plaza Italia, the space was renamed “Plaza de la dignidad” or “Dignity Plaza” during the social movement of 2019.

Voters also determined that a convention of elected citizens would draft the new document. In a global first, the constitutional body was required to have gender parity. In addition, 17 seats were reserved for indigenous populations, according to the National Library of Congress of Chile.

In May 2021, voters elected a constitutional convention made up of 67% independent candidates, many of them part of leftleaning movements, according to Universidad de Chile professor Claudia Heiss.

The nontraditional makeup of the body gave some Chileans hope when the process began, but polls showed a decrease in voter confidence in the convention as time went on.

After one year of the convention’s work, the draft faced its fate in a referendum in which all Chileans were required to vote. The earlier votes in the constitutional process had been voluntary.

According to the Chilean Electoral Service, Chileans abroad voted to approve the draft but the overall population overwhelmingly rejected it.

Both Bradford and Romero would have had to travel to

another state to vote, so neither was able to cast a ballot due to logistics.

The draft

“Chile is a social and democratic state of law,” started the new constitutional draft. “It is ‘ plurinacional ,’ intercultural, regional and ecological.”

The 388-article charter included universal health care and rights to education, housing, pensions and water. Along with vast environmental protections, it implemented gender parity rules for governing bodies. It also restructured the country’s legislative model and established parallel justice systems for indigenous groups.

Supporters of the document praised its progressive character while opponents stressed the far-reaching and unachievable nature of the constitution’s goals. Some opponents wanted to keep the 1980 version. Others said they desired a new constitution, just not this one.

In Bradford’s opinion, the members of the convention tried to take on too many topics.

“I do agree with some changes for the environment and things like that. But I think this proposal was covering way too many things and it became unreliable — people realized that,” she said.

was that it did not address what she sees as Chile’s main issues. Specifically, Bradford said she was concerned about danger and crime in Chile, which she attributed to a lack of control over immigration.

“I still have all my extended family members (in Chile) and I hear every day what they’re suffering. And those real issues are not getting addressed,” she said.

She also opposed the idea of making the state “ plurinacional ,” which means recognizing the coexistence of multiple national groups within a country.

“We are a united country there. I don’t believe that we should start calling each other something different,” she said.

For Romero, identifying the country as such was one of the biggest strengths of the draft. He said it was important to recognize indigenous nations.

“When we talk about ‘ plurinacionalidad ,’ we are talking about the recognition of their territory and their cultural autonomy, and that they are asking for the right to organize themselves in some way,” he said. “For me, that’s good. It’s the minimum that can be offered after years of colonization — the minimum.”

Romero also applauded the draft’s inclusion of rights to healthcare and education.

“The right to health care exists in various countries, and it works well,” Romero said. “It’s the same with the right to education… The people ignore it because they simply haven’t lived (that) reality.”

Romero added that he thinks many people who voted against the new draft were influenced by misinformation campaigns about its contents. Bradford said she knew people who read the draft itself and still rejected it.

Delightful differences

For Bradford, the new constitution was not the right move for Chile. But in Romero’s eyes, there is still hope for a new constitution in the future.

“The process isn’t over in Chile,” he said. “It’s a battle that was lost, but the people are going to continue fighting.”

Despite their differences, Romero and Bradford say they are close. Adding their parents, younger sister and extended family into the mix, they are surrounded by a wide range of political opinions.

“We tease each other, we laugh, but we know we’re not gonna change our views — and we don’t want to change our views,” Bradford said. “We accept each other how we are and we love each other regardless.”

She compared their political differences to other differences she and her siblings have, such as the ways they like to relax and their tastes in music.

“You put priorities in life and family’s the first priority. Love — love for your family,” she said.

According to Romero, his family’s differences represent the diversity that should exist in a healthy society.

“If I expect that all my friends think exactly the same as me, it will be me (who is) the problem,” he said.

Chamber music fills Englewood hall

2013, served as spokesman for the eight expert performers, commenting on how it was originally commissioned by a clarinetist.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Franz Schubert’s Octet in F Major, Op.166 (1824) was the program for Oct. 22 and I’m still thinking about how fortunate we are to have Englewood Arts’ fine series of chamber music concerts in Hampden Hall, at the Englewood City Center — as well as symphony orchestras in Littleton, Lone Tree and Parker, and theaters that present musicals, jazz, vocalists, dance and productions for children ... Tickets are reasonably priced — in this case: $30/$25/$10.

The Schubert Octet was commissioned by famous Austrian clarinetist Ferdinand Troyu and first performed at the home of the musician’s employer, Archduke Rudolf, in 1827. It was not published for other orchestras to use until 1853, some time after Schubert’s death at 31 in 1828. In his brief life, he was astonishingly productive.

Concert notes say that Schubert was in ill health and in pain when he was writing this and there are some stormy notes, but I certainly left the hall feeling optimistic and happy ...

Jason Shafer, principal clarinet with the Colorado Symphony since

Also included: Tristan Rennie, bassoon; Young Kim, horn; Yi Zhao, violin; Dmitri Pogorelov, violin; Sofia Basile, viola; Seoyin Min, cello; and Owen Levine, double bass. In addition to performing with the Colorado Symphony, several are faculty members at UNC and all seem to travel nationally and internationally.

The program biographies lead one to think of a richly varied life, language skills, flexibility — and a packable wardrobe!

Two more programs are announced for 2022 and we will watch for an announcement on 2023 programs and report — Nov. 12: Brahms Piano Quartet in G Minor; and Dec. 17: Schubert Quintet in C Major.

Cellist Silver Ainomae, former CSO cellist, now with the Minnesota Orchestra, will return here to perform with pianist Joshua Sawicki and others from the Colorado Symphony, tba, on Dec. 17 in Schubert’s Quintet in C major.

Director Eric Bertoluzzi announced after the concert that more than 100 children want to learn to play a violin in the Englewood Arts’ popular school programming and donations towards that project are badly needed. (A charming wee violin was exhibited at the entrance.) Also, 30 preschoolers at Englewood’s Maddox Preschool are learning to dance!

Blankslate looks ahead with ‘Summer on a Salt Flat’

For many people, college leads to all kinds of new starts. For Tess Condron, Rylee Dunn and Emma Troughton, their time at the University of Denver led to the formation of the indie rock trio Blankslate, which just released its debut album, “Summer on a Salt Flat.”

The group, which features Condron on drums and keys, Dunn on guitar and bass and Troughton on vocals, fine-tuned the songs at gigs around Colorado and beyond, according to provided information.

In anticipation of the album’s release, Blansklate answered some questions about their backstory, making a record and more.

Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

-Tell me a little about the genesis of Blankslate?

ET: Tess moved her electric drum kit into Rylee’s room in this chaotic frat house setting that had been turned into a live space for transfer students. Rylee obliged and suddenly they were met with the realization that they needed a vocalist. They texted our transfer living community group chat and I presented them with my vocals. Then we found a storage closet in the basement and did covers, and over time started honing in on a certain sound, and with much repetition;

COMING ATTRACTIONS

the genesis.

-What was it like writing your debut al-

I found that in order to write these songs, I had to ignore the album concept a bit. I wrote them all completely differently, and for the most part completely irrespective of each other. There are some exceptions; “Little Love” and “a fragile thing” are intended to be twins of sorts, “Creative-Nonfiction,” “if this is Monterey…,” and “2301 S. High Street,” are essentially three parts of the same story, and “Seacliff,” is a sister song to “Westcliff,” which we released in 2019. But they all had really unique writing processes, and the ones that are “related” grew closer as they developed.

-Where was the album recorded and what was the process like?

TC: The writing process is so stripped-down that it’s hard to expect what the studio will do to a song, so it ends up kind of doing something different to every song. The album was recorded with Tyler Imbrogno of Eldren at Daymoon Studios over the course of 14 months. I can’t imagine a

project that has ever been more exhausting and rewarding at the same time.

RD: Performing in a studio brings a certain level of perfectionism and it can be hard to stay loose and play with feel in there, which I think was an area where we all grew a lot throughout the process. I’ve loved honing our live sound as we wrote these songs; all the iterations feel like they bring a lot of different dimensions to each song.

-Does the album have a particular theme or idea that you wanted explore over its tracks?

ET: It very much feels like the expanse of the album runs parallel to a lifespan.

TC: This album is designed to be relatable and an aspect of something being relatable is about its ability to go into detail. This album feels like it is about a specific time in someone’s life, but the details are different for every listener.

RD: I think there’s an idea of changing the ground you’re on and feeling mostly the same. All of the songs are set in really specific places, but the sentiment contained in them has common threads.

-All three members of Blankslate identify as queer - does releasing this album have any special meaning at a time

when LGBTQ+ rights are under constant attack?

ET: A lot of the representation for queer people in most scenes, including music, is very onebrand, linear, archetypal, so it always feels really exciting to plant new seeds of iterations of queerness and how that can exist.

TC: The fact that queer bands these days don’t need to exist only at queer spaces. We show up at a lot of heteronormative shows and don’t really feel out of place. It’s more of a broad reach compared to how it maybe used to be, and that feels like a really cool way to provide representation.

-What do you hope album listeners come away with?

TC: I hope the album offers a comfort for people. The best thing ever that could come out of this album is if people create their own stories out of it that they can come back to and feel themselves in.

Invasive mussels have ‘infested’ Colorado lake

Other waters can be contaminated by destructive species first found on Sept. 14

BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN

Invasive zebra mussels have “infested” the water at Colorado’s Highline Lake — a reservoir north of Loma, near Utah — despite a 15year effort by Colorado Parks and Wildlife to keep the state free of the harmful species, the agency said this week.

CPW staff have discovered at least 10 zebra mussels in Highline Lake.

After the first adult zebra mussel was found in the reservoir Sept. 14, Parks and Wildlife staff found almost a dozen more of the mussels in the same body of water on Oct. 21 and 22. Soon after, the department changed the status of the lake from “suspect” to “infested,” according to a news release sent Oct. 25.

The new infestation could lead to millions of dollars in damage to water-based infrastructure, and threatens to impact water quality and limit recreational opportunity.

A single mussel can produce up to 1 million babies in a single year, officials said, making it challenging to contain the species, and nearly impossible to eradicate them once they’re introduced.

The aquatic nuisances attach to solid or semi-solid surfaces and clog up boat engines or distribution pipes at water treatment facilities. If knocked off, the mussels can drop into and infest a body of water.

The mussels can live outside of water for 27 days under the right conditions, and can pass almost a liter of water through their shells each day, consuming nutrients needed by other fish and plants in the ecosystem.

Their high levels of filter feeding can also alter food sources in lakes and reservoirs. And when mussels defecate or dry out on shorelines, they can cause a rancid smell, making it less desirable for people to recreate in these areas, said Robert Walters, CPW’s invasive species program manager.

Now, the agency will have increased sampling and monitoring efforts at Highline Lake to help contain the infestation. They also have implemented a special program where they will inspect and decontaminate every boat that leaves the lake to stop the species from spreading to other bodies of water, he said.

“This is incredibly concerning,” Walters said Wednesday. CPW’s invasive species leaders are evaluating other steps to contain the mussels, he said.

There currently are no boats on Highline Lake, since the boating season ended Sept. 30, and so it is unlikely that the zebra mussels will be shuffled around by recreation, at this point, Walters said.

Highline Lake, which is northwest of Grand Junction and just a few miles east of the Utah border, is considered “high risk” for the spreading of mussels from boats. Many boats pass through the lake from out of state, particularly from Lake Powell on the Utah-Arizona border, a popular destination for Colorado boaters. Lake Powell has been infested with invasive mussels since 2012.

Now that Highline Lake is consid-

ered infested, it must go five years without further detections to be listed as free of mussels.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife leaders have been concerned for years about the possibility of zebra and quagga mussels popping up across the state. The department conducted an awareness campaign ahead of Memorial Day, when the boating season generally kicks off in Colorado, to encourage people to get their boats inspected each time they enter and exit Colorado’s waterways.

The department stepped up enforcement of its 15-year-old Aquatic Nuisance Species Program, a statewide decontamination program, where inspectors at 73 locations decontaminate people’s boats. Since the program’s inception in 2008, almost 500,000 boats have been inspected annually. Parks and Wildlife staff deploy instruments into high risk reservoirs for the purpose of detecting invasive species. Staff found the first zebra mussel in mid-September during this kind of water sampling.

Colorado is not free of all invasive aquatic nuisance species. Some bodies of water in Colorado contain

Eurasian watermilfoil, for example, which grows quickly and blocks sunlight, and can kill off native aquatic plants that fish and other underwater species rely on for food and shelter.

Now, after the new detection, CPW staff are asking people to help stem the spread of zebra mussels by ensuring that any boating equipment that enters Highline Lake, and any other body of water in the state, is clean, drained and dried, in between each use. Mussel infestations are increasing across the nation each year, Walters said.

“As more and more people use our water resources for boating, we must continue to work tirelessly to prevent the spread of these harmful invasive species,” said Heather Dugan, acting director for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Invasive mussels are infecting Colorado waterways. The mussels are spread from lake to lake by boats not being cleaned and dried out correctly.

Huskies softball wraps up great season

Douglas County girls ranked 12th in nation

BY ALEX K.W. SCHULTZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

To understand how the Douglas County High School softball team was able to go from 5A/4A Continental League afterthought to one of Colorado’s crown jewels in a matter of one year, one has to go back to mid-August and look 265 miles to the west.

There, as the team settled in at a small hotel in Grand Junction after playing in five preseason scrimmages over the course of two days, Huskies coach Katherine Drake was approached by three of her players: Madison Heiner, Sydney Montoya and Abby Trotter.

The matter was urgent.

“Coach, we need to talk to you,” the senior triumvirate said.

“What is it?” the second-year coach responded, almost worried.

To which the players replied: “We’re winning state this year.”

Wait, what?

The team that lost just as many games as it won in 2021 and finished in eighth place out of 11 teams in the 5A/4A Continental League? The team that, just one season ago, lost 14-4 to crosstown rival Castle View and 8-1 to Colorado high school softball darling Legend? The team with a 30-year-old head coach who would surely, it would seem, need at least a couple more years to embed her coaching philosophy and offensive and defensive blueprint into the fabric of the program?

That team is going to win the state title?

“Everyone had confidence not only in themselves but also their teammates,” Montoya said. “We had great pitchers and players up and down the lineup who could hit. I think we knew just how good of a team we had.”

Exactly 71 days after making that bold proclamation on Colorado’s Western Slope, Heiner, Montoya, Trotter and their Husky colleagues, after winning 21 games in the regular season, did indeed find themselves in the Class 5A state championship game against Columbine.

Columbine jumped out to an early four-run lead and ultimately won 7-3, dealing DCHS its lone October defeat.

“It wasn’t the ending any of us wanted, obviously, but everyone gave it all they had and left it all on the field. That’s a great feeling. That’s all you can ask for,” said Montoya, who will take her softball services to Coastal Carolina University.

While Douglas County didn’t capture the state crown, what the team did do is record the program’s best season since 1994, when the Huskies went all the way and prevailed in the state championship game. The 2022 Huskies were 26-3 overall and 8-1 in league play, they handed

Columbine its only loss of the year (a 2-0 regular-season DCHS win in early October), they finished the season ranked No. 12 in America, and Drake was named 5A Continental League Coach of the Year — all after the Huskies stumbled to a 13-13 record a year before and came nowhere close to even sniffing the state tournament.

So, how did they do it?

“We have love for each other,” said Drake, a Douglas County graduate herself. “We have fight. We don’t give up. I’ve never seen our team give up in a single game, no matter what.”

That was evident throughout the season as the Huskies recorded seven come-from-behind wins, including three games in which they were trailing — and in some cases trailing big — in the final inning. They were down 9-1 to Cherokee Trail before unleashing an offensive blitzkrieg in the seventh, scoring 10 times to win 11-9. They trailed by three against ThunderRidge but put seven on the board in the seventh to prevail 12-8. They mounted yet another fierce comeback against Eaglecrest, exploding for nine runs in the seventh to overcome a four-run deficit and stun the Raptors 11-6.

There was also the payback game in late August — a 6-3 comeback win against Broomfield, the team that ended DCHS’s season in the first round of last year’s regional tournament. And one can’t forget the Huskies’ game against Legend in the semifinal round of the state tournament on Oct. 22, a date with Columbine for all the Class 5A spoils on the line. “I remember everybody saying, `Who do you think is going to win — Legend or Columbine?’” Drake said. “Everybody thought Legend already had it in the bag and was going to beat us and go to the state championship game.” Douglas County didn’t just beat Legend that day; Douglas County broke Legend in every possible way. The Huskies scored twice in the first inning, piled on six more runs in the

second, then added another half-dozen runs in the fifth for good measure, triggering the mercy rule in what was the Titans’ worst loss in more than three years.

“I think there were some doubters (outside the program) at the beginning of the year. When we run-ruled Conifer in our first game, I think that gave us all belief,” said Heiner, who will continue her softball career at California Baptist University.

Will people believe in the 2023 Huskies? Perhaps not. After all, Drake is losing do-everything standout Marina Tinari, who led the team in batting average (.553), hits (52), runs batted in (45) and earned-run average (1.49). Drake will also see her No. 2

pitcher (Channing Bower, 2.94 ERA), second-highest run scorer (Montoya, 34 runs), the player who reached base most frequently (Heiner, .610 on-base percentage) and a collection of other seniors depart.

If people don’t believe in DCHS next year, it won’t be anything new for Drake and the Huskies.

“I think it’s a mindset thing,” Drake said. “When you’re an underdog and nobody on the outside believes in you but you believe in yourselves in your own circle, when you have that mindset, that’s when good things happen.”

Sounds like another trip to Grand Junction may be in order next August.
