Senior Activity Center turns 50 Unvaccinated people drive COVID rise as school looms

Community celebrates as planning for next 50 years begins

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From humble beginnings, multiple relocation endeavors and continued patience, the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center is celebrating 50 years in the community.

The official celebration was held on July 9 as more than 200 people weathered the 90-degree heat at Philip S. Miller Park to enjoy live music and food.

Stacey Fahrenbruch, project/ event coordinator for the senior center, said the celebration was a success with “lots of smiles, hugs and wonderful friendships reconnected. Everyone was excited to be together and out enjoying a joyful day in the sunshine.”

Castle Rock Mayor Jason Gray read an official proclamation to mark the 50th anniversary, stating: SEE CENTER, P31

With the new school year only weeks away, Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties are seeing the signs of an upswing in rates of new COVID-19 cases, according to a news release from Tri-County Health Department.

“Two connected factors are responsible for the increase in new cases: individuals who remain unvaccinated and the highly contagious Delta variant,” the health agency wrote in the news release.

In parallel with trends across the U.S. and Colorado, new cases of COVID-19 have increased in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties in the past month, according to TriCounty, which is the local public health agency for the three counties.

“While the overall rates are much lower than they were in April thanks to those who have been fully vaccinated against the virus, this recent increase in cases is concerning especially with school beginning in the next few weeks,” the agency added.

Schools will likely return with little to no social distancing or mask requirements next month. The Colorado Department of Public Health

Castle Rock, Parker water sources in good shape

Reusable water programs prove helpful in Douglas County communities

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While Douglas County remains under a drought watch, water officials in Parker and Castle Rock are optimistic about water supplies as the state heads into the hottest part of summer.

Castle Rock Water Director Mark Marlowe said this is the first summer the town is using the reusable water supply. In 2006, the town invested $208 million to build the reusable water facility. Water started pumping into residents’ homes early this year.

Because of the renewable water source, Marlowe said as the highuse water months continue, Plum Creek resources are “holding up well.”

“We have been able to utilize renewable water because the creek is running well,” he said.

“Reusable water tends to be more drought resistant, and it does not depend on rainfall. It is water we have already used that will be put back into the system. It is a reliable source, especially during a drought.”

With hot, dry weather coming in July and August, Marlowe said the wet spring helped this year.

Ron Redd, district manager for Parker Water & Sanitation District, said water supplies are holding up well, and residents have not even met peak demand as expected this year.

Thanks to a wet spring, Redd said, customers in Parker and Castle Pines have used a lot less water in June and early July this year compared to the same time last year.

With 2020 being so dry, Redd said residents were using about 28 million gallons of water per day. This year, the average use is half that at 14 million gallons.

“So far, this has been a really good year,” Redd said. “We have a lot more moisture than last year.

Our water demand is down and that is exactly what we need.”

Besides having more moisture this spring, Redd said he thinks lower water use is due to residents becoming more vigilant in conserving water, and he added that Parker Water has added more infrastructure, including drilling two wells.

Like Castle Rock, Redd said, Parker Water has been proactive in creating renewable water resources to mitigate drought conditions.

Marlowe and Redd said groundwater supplies are also in good shape for both districts.

Both Marlowe and Redd agreed that even though water supplies are in good shape this year, residents should not become compla-

cent, because supplies in other parts of the state do have a local impact.

“Douglas County is not in a drought,” Marlowe said. “But water shortages in other parts of the state are a concern. We want people to continue using water ef-

ficiently and not waste water.”

On July 1, Gov. Jared Polis declared a drought emergency for western Colorado.

munities participating the WISE (Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) Water program.

The primary source of water for WISE is from the South Platte River, north of Aurora. Most of this water is reuse water from the Aurora’s Prairie Waters system and is combined with water from the Rocky Mountains.

Marlowe said when it comes to WISE water, as other parts of the state suffer worse drought conditions, Aurora and Denver’s water rights trump Castle Rock and Parker.

Marlowe said WISE water is an interrupted water source.

“If it gets bad enough on the West Slope, Aurora and Denver can interrupt our water supplies,”

Marlowe said. “Right now, it is not a huge issue, but it is something we need to keep in mind.”

The Centennial Water District, which manages water supplies in Highlands Ranch, has continued to encourage residents to practice water efficiency practices to protect supplies.

While still in good shape, Centennial Water has implemented a staging process to increase water rates if drought conditions get worse in the coming months.

With July being designated as Water Efficiency Month, all water districts along the Front Range have encouraged residents to get educated on how to be more water efficient.

Lone Tree couple runs all over the world Marathons have allowed Sorensens to jump from continent to continent

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Carol and Steve Sorensen on what they call the “hill from hell,” the steepest road in COURTESY PHOTO the Southern Hemisphere at around 40 degrees.

When Steve Sorensen set a goal to run a marathon before turning 60, he and his wife, Carol, had no idea it would lead to them running in major races across multiple continents.

Since 2013, the Lone Tree couple has run all over the world. The couple ran with wildebeests, rhinos and zebras in South Africa, watched nearby penguins as they ran in Antarctica and saw many of the Seven Wonders of the World as their trek to run in every continent has continued.

Carol said when her husband first started talking about wanting to run a marathon as a 60th-birthday milestone, she had no interest in participating since she had already run in a marathon.

However, when Steve reached his first goal, he started researching and learning more about races held all over the world, Carol said she was not about to miss out on the opportunity to travel and see amazing things even if it meant more running.

“When we started looking at running in every continent, I had no idea where you would run in places like Africa or Asia,” Carol said.

The couple agreed that one of the most amazing and hard runs was the Big 5 race in South Africa. Calling it the “hill from hell,” to reach the finish line, the couple had to run up one of the steepest roads in the Southern Hemisphere.

Besides getting up the steep hill, Steve said it was fascinating to look around and see a herd of wildebeests running. The couple said there was some anxiety as local officials kept watch over lions nearby.

In Paris, the race started at the Arc de Triomphe, running down the entirety of the Champs-Élysées, past the Louvre, Norte Dame, the Bastille, into the Bois de Vincennes.

They continued back on the Rive Gauche, passing Shakespeare and Co. bookstore, Les Invalides and into the Bois de Boulogne. In the shadows, the Eiffel Tower could be seen throughout the entire marathon.

“For us, it has really become all about the experience and seeing the world,” said Carol, 55. “You find that there is a true community around running once you get into it. We have truly met some of the most amazing people.”

To date, the couple has reached their goal, racing in North America, South America, Australia, Asia, Europe, Antarctica and Africa.

With each continent, Carol said they had to the rely on the training they were able to do in Colorado, finding a few surprises along the way.

Besides the tough hill climb in Africa, the couple said they were surprised at the climate in Antarctica, expecting it to be colder.

“You think you are going to be freezing the entire time and it is really not,” Carol said. “You do have to run on river rock and unstable areas. You do all this in moments where the sun is shining one moment and then snow is falling the next.”

Steve and Carol said they have gained so much in learning about the food and culture in every location.

In one marathon, Carol and Steve ran around Buddhist temples where they saw the locals plowing fields with oxen.

“Just understanding the splendor of running among these 2,000 Buddhist temples was amazing,” Steve said. “The people here have a love and care for everything.”

Steve said the children in the area saw Carol and ran up to her, giving her handfuls of wildflowers. Steve joked that one child gave him one flower.

“There is a true human connection with the people you run with and the people you connect with in every place,” Carol said. “It really gets you out of your comfort zone to open your mind and see the world through a totally different lens.”

Carol and Steve, both retirees from the corporate world, said they will continue to participate in as many races in other countries and here in the U.S. as they can.

Along the way, Steve started a photography business to sell images and document the journey.

Lone Tree couple Steve and Carol Sorensen continue their push to run major marathons all over the world, including the Big 5 run in South Africa where running with zebras and the sight of a male lion is possible.

Western Heritage Welcome kicks off festive weekend STAFF REPORT

Castle Rock’s Western heritage is alive and well. The town is set to celebrate during a weekend packed with activities, starting with the Fridayevening Western Heritage Welcome.

Western Heritage Welcome honors a time when large herds of cattle were driven through downtown Castle Rock. Cowboys and city folk alike are invited to join the celebration from 6 to 9 p.m. July 30.

Starting at 6 p.m., watch as cowhands drive a herd of longhorn cattle

from Rock Park, down Perry Street, and into a corral near Festival Park.

Residents are invited to grab a seat along Perry Street. Find a map of the best viewing locations at CRgov. com/WesternHeritage.

Following the cattle drive, visitors can go to Festival Park for a variety of Western-themed activities including food, cocktails, old-time photos, crafts and more. Plus, the Park County Regulators, a team of Old West reenactment actors, will perform a Wild West show around 6:45 p.m. Please be advised the actors will

be using blank ammunition during their performance that will create a loud noise.

Starting at 5 a.m., parking will not be available on Perry Street. Parking will also be closed at Rock Park. At 4:30 p.m., Perry Street will be closed from Scott to South streets. Visitors must stay behind the protective barriers along Perry Street.

The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo, running July 31 through Aug. 8, picks up where Western Heritage Welcome leaves off. Fair tickets are available at

ColoradoScape yard makeover contest STAFF REPORT

Does your front yard suck?

Water, that is. Typically, more than half of household water use goes toward outdoor irrigation and landscape. Castle Rock Water is now encouraging residents to transform their lawn to a water-wise

ColoradoScape. Enter to win a free front yard ColoradoScape makeover worth $8,000.

Kentucky bluegrass is not native to Castle Rock’s high elevation and arid environment. In fact, the community pours more than 1.3 billion gallons of water on yards each summer. While having

a healthy yard is important, exploring the colors beyond the green of grass is what Colorado is all about.

Are you ready to make the transition? Enter to win a front yard makeover by posting a short video on social media (Facebook, Instagram or Twitter) about why your lawn

sucks. The more creative, the better. Be sure to set your privacy settings to public, and tag “Town of Castle Rock Government” or @CRgov.

Video entries will be accepted until and Aug. 15. Five finalists will be chosen. Then, the community will vote for its favorite on the town’s so-

cial media pages. The winner will be notified via their social media account in September.

All entrants must be a Castle Rock Water residential customer and at least 18 years of age or older. For more information, contest rules and to see previous winners, visit CRconserve.com/Contest.

National Night Out returns STAFF REPORT

Castle Rock Police Department will host National Night Out on Aug. 3. To host the event, the police

department joins agencies nationwide to celebrate, starting at 5 p.m. at Philip S. Miller Park pavilions.

National Night Out is a countrywide campaign that was created to

help foster positive relationships between police departments and the residents they serve. The event is hosted annually on the first Tuesday in August.

“This is such a special evening, and we’re so happy we can bring it back this year,” said Police Chief Jack Cauley. “National Night Out is a great example of our One-ByOne Policing philosophy in action.

Our officers truly enjoy spending time with residents and connecting with them on a more personal and individual level.”

The public is invited to celebrate with the local police department.

Participants will have an opportunity to interact with the various divisions and specialized units at the local police department, participate in hands-on activities and watch demonstrations put on by members

of the team.

In addition, there will be plenty of giveaways for kids, including a prize for the one who collects the most Castle Rock Police trading cards. Learn more about how to participate, by visiting the website at crgov.com/3203/Police-TradingCards.

“We love that this event gives citizens a glimpse into what our officers and staff members do on a daily basis,” said Cauley. “It’s a great opportunity for people to meet us, ask questions and understand why and how we respond to different situations.”

Food will also be provided, as members of the police department will be serving hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks.

Hospitalized mostly unvaccinated As of July 22, in Adams County, the seven-day incidence rate of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people was 69, according to TriCounty’s news release.

That represents an increase of 155% since June 26, according to Tri-County. Arapahoe and Douglas counties have experienced increases of 70% and 65% over the same period, Tri-County said.

The majority of new cases are among individuals who are not fully vaccinated, according to TriCounty. And since March, “95% of individuals hospitalized in our counties had not been fully vaccinated, similar to the pattern being seen across the state and nation,” Tri-County said in the release.

The Delta variant, which is more contagious than the strain circulating last winter and could cause more severe illness according to recent studies, is responsible for approximately 90% of all cases in Colorado, according to Tri-County.

“It is understandable that some people may still have concerns about getting vaccinated after hearing a lot of misinformation on the internet and social media,” Douglas, the health chief, said in the release. “However, the threat from the Delta variant to unvaccinated persons is real, serious and growing, so each day of delay can increase your risk of getting sick

Tri-County Health will “strongly encourage” mask-wearing in indoor settings for those not fully vaccinated, but the agency is not planning to require it at this point, said John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health.

Cherry Creek School District planned to announce final plans for any COVID-19 precautions the week of July 26, after Colorado Community Media’s press deadline.

Regardless of the new state guidance, state law gives local and state public health officials the authority to implement isolation and quarantines to slow or stop the spread of disease, according to the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department.

“Public health officials will work with schools to ensure that these measures are used as needed to protect the health of the employees and students in these settings, which also provides broader protection to the community at large,”

COVID

FROM PAGE 10

Until a person’s vaccination is complete, Tri-County Health says to wear a mask indoors when around people who are from another household and to stay 6 feet apart from others when out in public, especially indoors.

While more than 70% of adults age 18 and up who are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in Colorado have been vaccinated, those who have not been vaccinated remain vulnerable to illness, hospitalization and even death, Tri-County noted.

“Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most effective way to protect yourself against this virus, especially with the more contagious Delta variant circulating,” Douglas said in the release. “Each of the vaccines available rare very effective. Everyone 12 and older who can get vaccinated should do so now — for themselves and their families and friends.

Vaccinated people also protect those who cannot get vaccinated, such as children under 12 years of age, or those with weaker immune systems for whom vaccine protection may be .reduced.”

Local health agencies, school districts to choose what COVID-19 restrictions to implement

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With weeks until the upcoming school year, TriCounty Health Department — the local public health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — says it plans not to require masks for unvaccinated individuals in schools.

“We strongly encourage mask-wearing in indoor settings for those not fully vaccinated,” said John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health. “However, (we) are not planning to require it at this point.”

Schools will likely return with little to no social distancing or mask requirements in August. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released new P-12 school COVID-19 guidelines on July 20, but the new guidance “does not constitute statewide requirements,” a state news release said. Instead, the guidance outlines “best practices” for local governments and school districts.

That means local health agencies — such as TriCounty — and school districts will decide for themselves what precautions to enforce.

Tri-County Health will continue to require quarantining of close contacts — those within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more — for anyone exposed to a person with COVID-19 in a non-classroom setting, Douglas said.

But this year, contact tracing is not required in the classroom setting, in order to prioritize in-person learning, Douglas said. Contact tracing is a term for when public health workers notify people that they may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.

Any standards that school districts or local health

officials implement for quarantines are likely to be looser than they were last school year, based on the new state guidance.

In Tri-County’s jurisdiction, students who are exposed to COVID-19 in the classroom will not be required to quarantine from school except in instances that are high risk: unmasked direct contact in sports, choir or with medically fragile students, Douglas said.

“All students and staff that are exposed should still monitor closely for symptoms and are not permitted to attend school if they develop symptoms. Testing, isolation and symptom-screening are still required before symptomatic staff and students can return back to school,” Douglas said.

Individual cases and potential outbreaks of COVID-19 — and all reportable medical conditions — are still required to be reported to public health officials, Douglas said.

Tri-County Health “will monitor cases and work with schools to implement additional mitigation measures such as masking, social distancing, contacttracing and quarantine in the setting of an outbreak,” Douglas said. “These recommendations will only be required if the outbreak is high risk (or) severe or the school is not participating in the investigation and mitigation.”

For schools, a confirmed outbreak is defined as five or more cases of COVID-19, of which at least one case has had a positive molecular amplification test or antigen test, among students, teachers or staff from separate households with onset within 14 days in a single classroom or activity or other close contact in the school setting — including transportation to or from school and affiliated events, according to the state’s definition.

See more information on Colorado’s updated definition of COVID-19 outbreaks at tinyurl.com/ColoradoCOVIDoutbreak on page 6.

Alternatives for indoor activities or school events may be recommended or required depending on the severity of an outbreak, Douglas said.

VOICES

Trapped in the platitude escalation cycle QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

S

ome of you might remember radio broadcaster Paul Harvey. He always ended his daily program with two words.

“Good day.”

Hippies turned that into “Have a nice day.”

Then “Have a good day” came along.

Then “Have a good rest of the day.”

And now, as I live and breathe, “Have a great rest of the day” was wished upon me at a hardware store by a young woman who said the same thing to the customer ahead of me and the one that followed me.

I felt special knowing she had composed that thought just for the three of us.

Whatever happened to “Thank you”?

“Have a great rest of the day,” if examined, broken down, analyzed, borders on a command and practically chokes on its own hyperbole.

Waiting around the bend is “Have a mind-blowing rest of the day,” and “Have an out-of-this-world rest of the day.”

I thought about asking the young woman if she was referring to my afternoon nap, but decided she wouldn’t get it.

In other words, my “rest” of the day.

We do like to exaggerate, don’t we?

For a while, I was receiving emails from someone who ended every sentence with

at least three exclamation marks.

When I informed her that I couldn’t take it any longer, well, she replied with three words and thirty exclamation marks.

The recent All-Star baseball game in Denver was a bore, but the hoopla that went on before, during and after it made up for a sport that, sadly, has become a stranger to me.

It’s all home runs and strikeouts.

The Dodgers hit eight home runs in a game against the Diamondbacks. That’s Little League stuff.

Subtlety is a lost art.

Art is a lost art.

Look for the grand opening of Meow Wolf in downtown Denver. It’s “interactive art for all ages.”

We used to call those “fun houses” at the circus.

Interactive means the art doesn’t just stay there on the wall and mind its own business like a Picasso or a Rembrandt.

It jumps around or jumps at you and makes your head spin.

Just what I’m looking for.

Let’s get back to “Have a great rest of the day.”

I’d settled for ten great minutes.

Modern life doesn’t allow (me) to have up to twelve hours that are unbroken by

an interruption, annoyance, nuisance or exasperation.

Ten days after the Fourth, some of my beloved neighbors were still shooting off fireworks.

Maybe if I were in a home with Harry next to a lake with the regional birds filling the air with song, I might have a great rest of the day.

But here in the trenches it’s a project just getting to that hardware store and back without witnessing a near accident or being involved in one.

As I have said before, there’s a major intersection near me where you can always pick up some spare automobile parts.

Henry David Thoreau spent two years, two months, and two days at Walden Pond in a 15-by-10-foot cabin he built for himself.

Good for him. But he was eaten up by mosquitoes and was constipated half the time.

Harry just walked into the office with a familiar look on his face. It’s time for our rest of the day.

WINNING WORDS

Anyone else but me

“Y

ou will make a lousy anybody else, but you will be the best ‘you’ in existence.” — Zig Ziglar Many of us daydream or fantasize about being someone else. Did you ever look at someone else’s life and wish that you could have their physique, home, money, car or job? I think at some point in life, maybe we have all entertained thoughts about being someone different or having something that we did not already own.

Some of us may have only had a fleeting moment of daydreaming or fantasizing about this. Others of us may spend way too much time coveting what others have. A few of us may even become consumed with an imaginary life lived as someone else. We drift away, wanting to be anyone else but ourselves, or trade what we have for what other people have.

When I was a kid, we vacationed at the Jersey Shore. It was typically in a very small bungalow with lots of other family members and friends popping in and out during the week. It was cramped, usually just one bathroom, and people sleeping on every bed, couch, cot and surface area of the tiny house. I look back on those weeks with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and cousins and remember them as some of the best vacations of my life.

A publication of

But at the time, I also remember wishing I could be going on the vacations that my friends were going on. Even if they came to the same area, they were staying at a much bigger home or nice hotel.

Did I mention that they had air conditioning in those nicer homes and hotel rooms? Yes, not only did I want to be my friends, but I wanted their air conditioning too. I think “Thou shalt not covet your friend’s air conditioning” may even be a commandment. Still, looking back on it today, I wouldn’t have traded it for the world.

The quote by Zig Ziglar that started this column is something that I learned from him many years ago. And it helped me to really focus on being the best “me” in existence. It helped me to measure success on my own terms, not defined or measured by others. If I didn’t like who I was, where I was, or what I was doing, I learned that I didn’t have to sit back and wish I could be someone else or have what others have, I could change who I was and what I was doing and go out and earn what it was that I wanted.

Another lesson I learned that has really helped me and that I have shared with others is this: Instead of looking on in envy or jealousy when someone in our family or circle of friends has just met with success or seems to be doing better than we are,

t a o g

try congratulating them, sharing in their joy and excitement. Even if it is a perfect C stranger who just won the lottery, we can s allow our hearts to be happy for them, m truly happy. w The thing is this: Sometimes what we see d on the outside is not what is really happen- o ing on the inside. The people we fantasize about being may have more troubles and h l heartache going on in their life than we m can see. The possessions they have may come with extraordinary debt. So, before g we look to be someone else, or have what “ they have, the better move is to appreciate b who we are and what we have already. And if change is needed, we can go work on what it is that we need to change.

We all have a choice to make. We can change and grow, breaking the status quo if we are unhappy. Or we can simply choose to continue as-is, wishing we were anyone else but ourselves, and do nothing.

I would love to hear your best “you” in existence story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when you realize that you are the best “you” in existence, it really will be a better than good year.

It may be time to give money away FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

Patricia Kummer

A

true sign of financial independence is to worry about your estate plan and what to do with your assets after you pass away.

Some people, myself included, spend their entire adult life worrying about having enough money and then it is time to make a plan to give it away! This year is especially important to make sure your gifting, tax and estate plan are current. Why? Because the amount you can pass on to your heirs tax-free is likely changing.

There are dozens of possible scenarios of what could change but two things are certain: The current tax-free estate exemption of $11.7 million per person was originally tagged to decline to just $3.5 million to pay for the Affordable Care Act many years ago. Now we are under another proposal from the Biden administration to reduce the amount you can pass on tax-free, and the $3.5 million remains a focal point.

There are other potential caveats that may change the crux of all estate planning as we know it. One example is if the step-up-in-basis on appreciated assets will be changed.

Currently, millions of Americans plan on passing their appreciated stocks, businesses and homes to their heirs

with no tax on appreciation. The value of their assets will get “stepped up” to the date of death valuation and all appreciation is tax-free to heirs. If this basis step-up goes away, holding appreciated assets in your estate plan may be the opposite of what you should do.

Certain trust arrangements are also under fire. This means your current estate plan may need to be revised to capture the best advantages under any new laws. Since we don’t know what will be become law and when, we can plan with what we know so far … there will be changes and they will likely be more restrictive.

One solution may be to start giving money away.

I am often asked “How much money can I gift to my child?” There are several answers to that question, but that usually indicates there a wish to pass on money or help children out. The simple annual gift exclusion is $15,000 per person per year. It can be cash, appreciated investments or shares in a business or building. Some estate plans suggest you should gift consistently every year and even multiply that by two and include your spouse as another donor.

The bigger picture suggests you can gift up to $11.7 million this year and

use up your estate exemption while it remains elevated. This calls for a more strategic plan and education for the next generation of how to handle these funds. Discussing the different types of trusts that can be used to assist in this wealth transfer is also very important.

There will be many changes to restrict the ability to pass on massive amounts of wealth tax-free going forward. We have a heavy federal deficit and many pending bills around infrastructure, health care and education that need to be funded. The problem will not go away without an influx of capital from somewhere.

It appears that many changes will largely affect the very wealthy. But there are millions of people who don’t consider themselves wealthy who could actually get caught in some of these changes. Perhaps their wealth is tied up in a business or real estate, or even long-term trusts designed for elder care.

Regardless of your situation, the message is the same: Be prepared, changes are a-coming.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Growth needs better controls As a fourth-generation Colorado native who has lived in the Castle Rock area for almost 30 years, it breaks our hearts to watch the uncontrolled growth.

We are not naive enough to believe Castle Rock, or Douglas County, can shut down the growth, however, many projects are being approved without any consideration to the residents’ quality of life, water supplies, or the appropriate infrastructure.

We all understand that landowners have entitlements to develop on their land, however it is the local government’s responsibility to control the growth. Castle Rock should not be a “free for all” for any developer who bought land.

One of the priorities of government officials is to maintain the quality of life. The master plan is to take the Town of Castle Rock to 120,000 people, which clearly is not a small town, and would be greater in population than Pueblo, Greeley and Westminster. Is this why people moved to Castle Rock? Probably not!

The traffic is terrible, and parking downtown is impossible, especially during coveted town events such as Starlighting and Oktoberfest.

Simply put, there should be a more thoughtful approach to Castle Rock’s development, with the residents’ quality of life as the primary objective.

Game offers fun in the outdoors — or indoors

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hether it’s quality time with the family, date night or visiting with friends, miniature golf is flexible enough to fit any framework.

Players described how miniature golf can be as casual or as competitive as they want. They can play it outside or inside, depending on the course. Miniature golf is affordable and lowstress, while also serving as a good test of control and problem-solving, they explained.

“The short game matters,” said Corey Whitlock, assistant manager at Adventure Golf & Raceway in Westminster. “It seems simple, but each hole is a different challenge. ... There’s nothing better than getting a hole in one.”

Plus, it only takes about 45 minutes to an hour to play a course, which is the perfect amount of time for young children, as it’s not too long or too short, said Centennial resident Liz Kirkpatrick.

Kirkpatrick and her three children were visiting Colorado Journey Miniature Golf at Cornerstone Park in Englewood, which they visit it multiple times a year. They appreciate its creative designs, with 9-year-old Jameson saying that he likes how most of the holes are easy.

Keagan Patrick, who works at Spooky Mini Golf inside Colorado Mills mall in Lakewood, said he grew up playing with his family, and now plays rounds with friends.

Like Whitlock, he appreciates how the basic concept is simple, but the holes are ultimately trickier than they look.

Sometimes, the course is literally filled with surprises.

Littleton residents James and Melesse Sanders, 12 and 14, described how they enjoyed the fire effects and water effects while playing at Adventure Golf for the first time with their grandma.

It was a good mix of exciting and relaxing, said the children and their grandmother, Connie “Nana” Porter of Littleton.

Most importantly, though, it’s a good way to spend time together as a family, Littleton resident Jessica Berg said while playing with her loved ones at Colorado Journey.

Playing the course Local miniature golf courses also have creative themes and obstacles, golfers said, whether they’re based in history, horror, fantasy or adventure.

Berg commented how she appreciates the Colorado history theme at Colorado Journey.

The two 18-hole courses feature Colorado landmarks at each hole, such as a standing structure of the Cripple Creek Mine that golfers can hit their balls through to potentially get a hole in one.

Spooky Mini Golf, which is across the street from the movie theater at Colorado Mills, has a very different vibe.

The indoor course features glow-in-the-dark golf balls and a variety of scary decorations and animatronics, which Patrick said might be a little much for very young children.

However, brave golfers will enjoy putting around ghosts, ghouls, dragons, giant spiders and other frights.

initial COVID-19 restrictions were rolling back, miniature golf was among the few night-out activities that were open. Considering that many courses are outdoors and groups could social-distance between holes, many took advantage.

Jeremy Kopischke, special facilities coordinator for South Suburban Parks and Recreation, which operates Colorado Journey, said the miniature golf course experienced an increase in non-resident use last year.

Whitlock said Adventure Golf had a different dynamic last year, simply because of the capacity restrictions. However, it also saw the

range of customers it could have and now is starting to see with the capacity restrictions lifted.

“People drove 30 or 40 minutes to get out of the house and play as a family,” Whitlock said of last summer.

Now, Colorado Journey has been busier than ever this summer, with a steady stream of guests and bookings for large groups and birthday parties, Kopischke said.

Whitlock said he and his colleagues at Adventure Golf are likewise thankful to be getting back to the norm, adding that it was very rewarding to see that the demand for miniature golf would always be there.

Q&A: Backcountry Outdoor Movie Series

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Highlands Ranch Community Association has created a unique way to see movies and spend quality time with the family. The Backcountry Outdoor Movie Series is now under way, with weekly showings.

We caught up with Lindsey McKissick, coordinator of Backcountry Wilderness Area Outreach, to get the details of the summer program.

When do you start doing Backcountry Outdoor Movie Series?

The Backcountry Outdoor Movie Series was born out of a community need for a safe way to get outside during the summer of 2020. We started with six films in 2020. It was such a hit last summer that we are

hosting 28 movie nights through Sept. 4. All films are open to the public. No pets allowed.

Why did you start providing movie options to residents?

There is nothing better than enjoying a summer evening outdoors, except a night under the stars watching your favorite movies on a big screen. We want the community to come out and enjoy Backcountry Base Camp, an outdoor gem just minutes south of Highlands Ranch Parkway.

What makes this experience unique?

All the proceeds of the Backcountry Outdoor Movie Series benefit the Backcountry Conservation & Education Fund. Our mission of local wildlife habitat conservation and

environmental education directly benefits when people join us for the Backcountry Outdoor Movie Series.

We also have a lot of community sponsors that by donating make every dollar in ticket sales go directly toward our conservation and education missions.

And if you love seeing movies out at Base Camp, you can host your own Private Movie Night for birthday parties, block parties, work retreats, or family get-togethers.

What can participants expect? What are the fees?

Most of the films are general admission at $25 a car. Guests can park their cars and walk a short distance to the movie area to enjoy the evening on camp chairs and blankets. Gates open one hour before

the movie starts so that families can enjoy a bring-your-own dinner and the sunset before settling in. There are two, adults-only evenings left this summer, ‘Bridesmaids’ on July 31 and ‘Deadpool’ on Aug. 21. It is a perfect date night for $20 a person, which includes the movie ticket and two beers from Living the Dream Brewing Co. included.

When/Where/Time When: Friday and Saturday evenings through Sept. 4 Time: Gates open at 7:15 p.m.

(July), 6:15 p.m. (August/September) Where: Backcountry Base Camp, 6005 Ron King Trail How to buy tickets Lineup/Details/Tickets: www. hrcaonline.org/bwamovieseries

Creating a vision for downtown alleyways STAFF REPORT

When in downtown Castle Rock, visitors probably don’t spend much time in the alleyways. However, that could change as the town explores options to transform them into creative and functional spaces.

The Downtown Alley Plan kicks off this summer as a next step in implementing the Downtown

Mobility Master Plan. The goal is to create a vision for enhancing and improving safety, accessibility, and mobility of the downtown area for pedestrians and bicyclists. The plan will explore options to bring to life the pedestrian experience through design such as lighting, murals, plants and seating.

Feasible design options will be explored for future implementation

as resources allow. Residents are encouraged to participate and share input on what they desire to see in downtown alleyways. Visit CRgov. com/DowntownAlleys to complete a brief questionnaire, and to sign up for project updates.

Meet the project team at 5 p.m.

Friday, Aug. 6, at First Fridays at Festival Park to learn about the project and share thoughts and ideas for

downtown alleys. Look for a table set up near the alley by Dazbog.

The town received a federal grant for $180,000 as part of the Community Mobility Planning and Implementation Program from The Denver Regional Council of Governments to help fund the Downtown Alley Plan.

The remaining $37,000 is funded by the town’s transportation fund.

Apartments under construction in Castle Pines Input sought for ongoing project STAFF REPORT

The 325-unit Canyonside Apartment complex is now under construction in Castle Pines. The multifamily community project is located within the Canyons master-planned community.

BMC Investments, a Denver-based

real estate investment company, owns the project. Construction is expected to continue through the summer of 2023.

“Canyonside Apartments is just the first in our broader suburban attainable housing strategy focused on development of build-to-rent multifamily, single-family and townhomes in a master-planned community setting,” said Jeff Stonger, chief investment officer of BMC Investments, in a news release. “We have in excess of $1 billion in the pipeline

TAXES FROM PAGE 1

recreation services and maintenance operations.

Sales tax increase — An additional tax of one penny on every $10 taxable purchase to use solely for open space and trails purposes, including preserving open space. The town currently has a 4% sales tax. If approved by voters, sales taxes would increase to 4.1% in April of next year.

10-year TABOR timeout — If approved, this would implement a 10-year timeout from the revenue restrictions of the state’s TABOR law. The extra revenue would be used for police and fire services and help fund the construction of the interchange at Interstate 25 and Crystal Valley Parkway Morgan Cullen, director of government affairs for the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver, spoke out against the proposed new-home construction tax.

Cullen said if voters approve the proposed tax, it could add another

$15,000 to $20,000 to the cost of building a home in an already strapped housing market.

Add that to the increased cost of lumber and building supplies, and Cullen said by this time next year, potential Castle Rock homebuyers could be paying $50,000 more on a home.

“This new tax increase will put the dreams of homeownership out of reach for tens of thousands of Coloradans and calls into question whether the town’s projected revenue will actually materialize,” he said. “Where do you propose people of modest means should live here in Castle Rock?

Where do you propose housing these additional police officers and firefighters that you wish to hire? They won’t be able to afford to live in Castle Rock.”

Cullen said homebuilders already pay “considerable” impact fees, while noting the association is not in favor of placing Castle Rock’s current financial dilemmas on the shoulders of future residents. Additional police and fire resources benefits the entire community, Cullen said, and everyone

should help pay the cost through other revenue streams such as added property taxes.

Douglas County Commissioner George Teal spoke in an official capacity and as a Castle Rock resident. Teal raised concerns with the measure asking voters to pause TABOR refunds for 10 years.

Town Manager David Corliss said part of the need for a TABOR pause is to pay for the construction of the Crystal Valley interchange at Interstate 25. Teal said in preparing the upcoming year’s budget, Douglas County commissioners are planning to help pay for the costs of the project.

While the final dollar amount has not been decided, Teal said the assistance to help the town will be “substantial.”

As a resident, Teal said he understands the dilemma the Castle Rock council is facing in trying to overcome funding shortfalls to meet police and fire department staffing needs. Teal asked councilmembers to “turn away from doing a TABOR timeout.”

Castle Rock couple, Wayne and

CarynAnn Harlos, spoke out against all four of the proposed tax measures on July 6 and again at the July 20 meeting. Wayne took issue with town officials saying the TABOR timeout is not a tax increase. Wayne said under state law, the TABOR refund is part of returning excess revenue back to residents. Wayne said those refunds are tax dollars, which means if the town keeps them, it is a tax increase.

For those who are “affluent” in the community, Wayne said the proposed tax increases may mean nothing, but for those struggling, even a minimal sales tax increase will make a big difference.

In a presentation to the council, Corliss said residents continue to submit more questions regarding the proposed tax measures.

Corliss stressed that questions are welcome and will continue to be answered on the town’s website through Aug. 17 when the council is slated to approve the final ordinances.

Residents can submit questions through the comment form at CRgov.com/2021Election.

SPORTS Mines grad named RMAC Woman of Year

Sydney Marchando reaches excellence in athletics and academics

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sydney Marchando, a graduate of Colorado School of Mines in Golden, was named the 2020-21 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Woman of the Year.

Marchando, who attended Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch, said she is excited to be honored by the RMAC after playing softball for the past eight years.

“I was happy, but my family was even more excited,” she said. “It is special because they have been really supportive over the years.

What an awesome way to end my time at the Colorado School of Mines.”

The RMAC Man and Woman of the Year awards honor graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their college career in areas of academic achievement, athletic excellence, community service and leadership.

Marchando, a senior pitcher for Colorado School of Mines, tied a bow on her final year with the Orediggers’ softball team, racking up 84 strikeouts over 111.2 innings pitched for nine wins and a Second Team

All-RMAC nod. Throughout her four-year career with the Orediggers, Marchando cemented her spot in the Mines record books, finishing fifth in program history for wins with 31 and sixth all-time for strikeouts with 281.

Marchando is a three-time First Team RMAC All-Academic selection, a three-time CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict honoree, and was also named the 2021 RMAC Academic Softball Player of the Year.

Marchando, 22, said athletics has been one of the best parts of being at Mines.

“Athletics here taught me to be a part of a community and learn true ethics,” Marchando said. “I played four years in high school and in competitive leagues.

I played at the School of Mines. All of it has been great. I am grateful for my time at the School of Mines.”

In academics. Marchando has reached the same level of excellence as in athletics.

While at Mines, she completed her degree in chemical engineering, earning a 3.99 GPA. Marchando was named the 2021 President’s Senior Scholar-Athlete award winner, an honor presented to a student-athletes who demonstrate outstanding leadership and athletic and academic achievement.

Marchando was also awarded the Blaster Award for Community Impact, an award presented to Mines student-athletes who work to better the Golden com-

munity. She also received the Oredigger Excellence Award, which is given to a Mines student-athlete who demonstrates outstanding leadership, achievement, and school spirit.

Marchando committed a large portion of her time off the softball diamond to community service projects within the college’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, including the 2020 Holiday Toy Drive, the 2020 Canned Food Drive, the 2019 Sports Equipment

and Clothing Drive and the Special Olympics.

Community service is where Marchando is most proud of her time at Mines.

The college graduate said four years in Golden taught her a lot about the importance of giving back to the community and spreading knowledge through various mentorship programs.

Marchando said she worked a lot with young female students, encouraging them to take up science and engineering programs.

“I really believe it is important to talk to our youth about how important engineering and STEM programs can be,” she said.

“When you are attending college, you realize the importance of getting involved on campus and getting into the community to make a positive impact.”

Moving forward, Marchando said her academic career is not over. This fall, she will enter a graduate program to major in biomedical engineering in Boston.

Young golfers play in Miami invitational Six girls, 10 boys from Colorado travel to Optimist International

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dylan Everett, a junior at ThunderRidge, was to compete in the 2021 Optimist International Invitational Junior Golf ChampionPHOTOS BY JIM BENTON ships at the Doral Resort in Miami.

Dylan Everett and Colin Young have been working on fine-tuning their golf games this summer.

Everett and Young are among the 10 boys from Colorado in the 16-18 division and six Colorado girls who were registered in the girls 15-18 bracket to play July 24-29 in the 2021 Optimist International Invitational Junior Golf Championships at the Doral Resort and Spa in Miami.

“I look at it as an op-

portunity to show a good round,” said Young, who along with Everett is under the tutelage of Jake’s Academy at Lone Tree Golf Course. Young played last fall on Valor Christian state championship team.

“I try to play around five times a week and when I’m not playing, I’m practicing,” Young continued.

“This is the biggest tournament (of the summer),” added Everett, who is a junior at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch. “So this will be the highlight of the summer.”

Other golfers from the south metro area who are registered to compete in the boys 16-18 division include Cherry Creek junior Charlie Flaxbeard of Greenwood Village, Ryan Peragallo of Highlands Ranch, Cherry Creek’s

Jonathan Trigg from Cherry Hills Village and Ponderosa graduate Johnny Williams of Parker.

Legend graduate Elan Fleetwood of Parker will be competing in the girls 15-18 tournament.

Castle Pines gives $90k in grants to restaurants Local businesses suffered revenue loss during boil-water advisory

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After the state imposed a boilwater advisory last month, Castle Pines businesses were forced to close, losing revenue. To help compensate for the revenue loss, the Castle Pines City Council authorized $90,000 in grants.

On June 10, customers of the North Metro Water District were placed under a boil-water advisory after technical issues were discovered in the water system. According to the June 10 news release, the district lost its chlorine injector on June 8. On June 9, the district lost complete pressure on almost half of the distribution system. The other half of the distribution system experienced low pressure.

The Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment levied the boil-water advisory because loss of chlorine injector and the loss of pressure in the distribution system can allow disease-causing organisms to enter the water system.

After two days, and multiple tests to assure the water supply was not infected, the advisory was lifted.

However, residents and businesses were impacted.

During the advisory, the TriCounty Health Department notified businesses in the district, including restaurants, of the procedures and precautions they would need to follow to remain operational. This

list of requirements was long and, according to many business owners, intimidating, leading several restaurants to temporarily close while the advisory remained in place.

According to the July 19 news release from Hannah Button, public information officer for Castle Pines, these closures led to revenue loss, prompting the City of Castle Pines to provide financial assistance to those impacted.

Button said businesses had the opportunity to request financial assistance by completing a form and attaching documentation from the business’s financial records that demonstrated the claimed lost revenue.

After receiving all requests and making any necessary revisions, Button said city officials determined that a total of $90,000 would be given out as reimbursements to those restaurants impacted.

“During a year already marked by historic health challenges, Castle Pines once again met this new concern with an overwhelming spirit of community and a deep desire to be a good neighbor,” said Councilmember Roger Hudson. “I am proud that our City of Castle Pines is able to support our local businesses by helping to backfill a portion of their financial losses, due to the lack of water access. Our community is fortunate to be rich in both fiscal responsibility and good intentions.”

Alberto Granados of Las Fajitas said he appreciates what the Castle Pines City Council has done for local businesses through the pandemic and in the latest water issue.

Joe Sabia of Pino’s Italian Kitchen and Bar said: “What the city is doing and has done to keep us from all failing is without a doubt unprecedented. I’m forever thankful.”

Study focuses on bald eagle boom

Front Range corridor includes nests of birds once rare in the state

BY KYLE COOKE AND CLARISSA GUY ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

It’s no secret that the human population on Colorado’s Front Range is expanding. State officials predict that in the 10-year range from 2019 to 2029, Colorado will grow by more than 800,000 people, with about 87% of them settling in the Front Range.

More perplexing, however, is that another population is growing in that same densely populated urban corridor: bald eagles.

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), the whole state of Colorado had just three known bald eagle nests by the end of the 1970s.

Today, the state is home to more than 200 nests — some in “unconventional” locations, like the Front Range.

This could explain why people who frequent Denver’s City Park have become accustomed to seeing bald eagles in the area.

“We know that our population of

eagles has increased in this area,” said Reesa Conrey, an avian researcher with CPW. “And we know that our population of humans is also increasingly very rapidly.”

CPW is embarking on a four-year study to learn why these eagles — the national bird of the United States — are settling in urban areas that are often disrupted by construction and other human activity.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies also are participating in the study, which will be the “most comprehensive bald eagle monitoring project ever done by CPW,” according to a news release.

According to CPW officials, Colorado’s eagle population declined in the mid-20th century due to human disturbance, loss of habitat, and DDT, a pesticide that poisoned the birds and made their egg shells extra thin.

The egg shells “often broke during incubation or otherwise failed to hatch,” according to the USFWS. DDT was banned in 1972, and the eagle population nationwide rebounded as a result to the point that in 2007, the iconic birds were removed from the endangered species list. (Eagles are still protected under both the Migra-

tory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.) Despite all the development on the Front Range since the 1970s, the state has also made it an easier place to settle with the construction of reservoirs.

The first bald eagle nest in the Front Range was established in Barr Lake State Park in Adams County in 1986, Conrey said. Storms destroyed that nest and six others over the course of many years, including a nest in 2021.

The eagles are currently rebuilding their nests at Barr Lake.

For this research project, CPW is using GPS transmitters to track the eagles in the northern Front Range.

According to CPW, “results from the monitoring effort will be used to model the bald eagle population trajectory and expected impacts of predicted future land use change.

Biologists will then make data-driven recommendations on minimizing and mitigating disturbances of the bald eagle’s environment essential to its survival.”

Researchers hope the data will help them identify ways to preserve and develop ideal eagle habitat in urban areas as well as better understand the birds’ tolerance to human activity.

Conrey said she also hopes the results will help the state give “better recommendations to developers, consultants [and] the general public to make sure that eagles are being managed properly and will continue to be successful here.”

CENTER FROM PAGE 1

“Because the center has reached this significant milestone, more than 1,100 local residents are able to enjoy friendships, opportunities to stay active, and chances to share their time and talents with the community, touching lives throughout the Castle Rock area.”

In providing a history of the senior center, Gray said the senior center opened in 1971 at its first home in what is now Castle Rock Music downtown on Wilcox Street.

Over the next 20 years, the senior center was moved to a new building several times before settling in its current location, 2323 Woodlands Blvd., in 1997.

Pam Ridler, president of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, presented the senior center with a Non-Profit of the Year Award during the July 9 celebration.

“Not many nonprofit organizations can state they have stayed relevant to their community for 50-plus years,” Ridler said. “The Castle Rock Senior Activity Center should be proud that they have continued to give value to their members by offering programming and activities to keep seniors connected in our community and give show relevance. “ In a statement for the ‘50-year Commemorative Book,’ senior center Executive Director Debbi Haynie and President Phyllis Tumey said the board of directors has worked diligently to set the program up to be successful for another 50 years.

“It’s our mission to make life more fulfilling and create community for seniors as they come here to engage in a wide variety of programming and services designed for ‘Loving Life in the Second Half,’” said Haynie and Tumey. “We think we can speak on behalf of the entire Castle Rock

More than 200 seniors and residents attended the special celebration for the Castle Rock Senior Center.

Senior Activity Center Board of Directors and staff when we say thank you for celebrating with us and for being a part of this awesome organization.”

Last month, Tumey spoke highly of the senior center board being proactive in addressing the current trends and needs of the town’s senior citizens. When pickleball became more popular among seniors, Tumey said they were able to advocate for getting more courts built. Now, courts are available, and more are being built at Cobblestone Park.
