One candidate called it the race of a lifetime. And after months of

simmering tension within the electorate, the Douglas County School Board election did indeed draw national attention as it became another contest defined by COVID mask-mandate disputes and critical race theory, or CRT. At stake was whether the Douglas County School District would begin “backing away from COVID and masking, and backing away from CRT, and backing away from

some of the sex ed” programs in place, candidate Mike Peterson told Colorado Community Media.

“I think it’s a macro issue that we’re seeing nationwide, and it’s about who has the role in raising their children,” he said.

The district has followed masking guidance from the Tri-County Health Department, among other SEE SCHOOL BOARD, P8

A split vote on Castle Rock tax measures Town staff working to revise proposed budget plans for 2022

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock voters delivered a

split vote on four tax measures proposed by the town in the 2021 election. Voter decisions will now require Town Manager David

Corliss to revise the 2022 budget proposal.

SEE MEASURES, P2

Who will be Castle Pines’ next mayor continued to be up in the air at press time, with just a few dozen votes separating the three candidates several days after the election ended Nov. 2.

As of Nov. 8, Councilmember Tracy Engerman was narrowly leading with 1,742 votes, followed by current Mayor Tera Radloff with 1,716 and David McEntire, who is currently the president of the Castle Pines North Metro District, with 1,637.

On Nov. 5, Douglas County election officials said they still had nearly 400 Castle Pines ballots to count and verify in the close race.

And on Nov. 8, Castle Pines Town Clerk Tobi Duffey said a winner is likely to be decided by Nov. 12.

Duffey said election officials are currently going through ballots with questionable signatures, giving voters until Nov. 12 to fix the issues for their votes to be counted.

On election night, McEntire took a slim lead that he kept until Nov. 4.

MEASURES FROM PAGE 1

According to the unofficial results, Castle Rock voters approved measures 2B and 2D and rejected measures 2A and 2C. After the results, Mayor Jason Gray said, “We took very seriously asking the community for additional resources to fund important needs and are thankful for the support received on ballot questions 2B and 2D. These resources will help us achieve significant initiatives on the town’s behalf.”

Ballot Measure 2D, calling for a 10year TABOR pause, was approved, allowing the town to move forward with plans to hire more police and fire personnel and get help in paying for the $75 million reconstruction of the Crystal Valley Interchange at I-25.

According to the unofficial results, 2D was passed with 52.8% voting in favor of pausing what is known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. About 47.2% voted against it.

While Ballot Question 2D will help in funding police and fire needs, Gray said voters rejecting Ballot Question 2A will have a direct impact on how many police officers and firefighters can be hired.

The town had hoped to use added revenues from 2A and 2D to fund growing public safety needs that have become an issue as the town’s population continues to grow.

Measure 2A, a construction sales tax that would have applied an ad-

ditional $7 per square foot for new home or apartment construction, failed. According to the unofficial results, 52.3% voted against the measure while about 47.7% supported it.

Ballot Question 2A was going to fund the town’s five-year plan to add an additional 75 police officers and firefighters. If approved, Ballot Question 2A was expected to create nearly $14 million in added revenue in the first year of collections.

“With the failure of question 2A, challenges still remain in funding our public safety needs over the long term,” Gray said. “I expect we’ll engage the community regarding potential solutions to this issue so we can come together and keep Castle Rock as great of a community years from now as it is today.”

After reviewing the results, town

officials said the process to implement voters’ wishes will now move forward.

“Over the next few weeks, we’ll be working to implement the voters’ decisions,” said Corliss. “We will also be reviewing our 2022 budget to reduce the proposed staffing plans for the town’s police and fire services to reflect that voters turned down additional funding for those services. The town’s budget going forward will continue to show the fact that our police and fire departments remain a top community priority as we reduce expenditures elsewhere in the budget to provide resources for public safety. Discussions about short-term and longterm options are already underway with the police and fire chiefs and town council.”

Corliss’ proposed budget was created as if voters would approve all four ballot questions. With two measures being rejected, a revised budget will be proposed for council approval. In September, Corliss unveiled a $308 million budget for 2022.

Ballot Questions 2B and 2C asked voters to create new revenue streams to help fund parks and recreation department needs and purchase more open space.

According to the results that have been updated regularly since Nov. 2, Castle Rock voters approved 2B, a 6% lodging tax, with nearly 52% voting yes while about 48% voted against.

Ballot Question 2B is slated to help pay for more personnel in the parks and recreation department.

Voters rejected Ballot Question 2C, which would have implemented a .1% sales tax increase, equaling a penny for every $10 spent. More than 62% of those casting a vote in the election said no to 2C. Measure 2C would have funded open space opportunities around the town.

A post-election statement provided

by Community Relations Manager Melissa Hoelting said the town will lose an estimated $270,000 in anticipated annual revenue due to the rejection of 2C. The town had estimated there was opportunity to accumulate more than $8 million in open space acquisitions by the year 2026, Hoelting said.

The council is scheduled to adopt the final, updated budget during the Dec. 7 meeting.

MAYOR FROM PAGE 1

each business day, Engerman took a small lead over Radloff and McEntire dropped into third place as of the News-Press deadline.

If Engerman, who said she chose “courage over comfort,” is successful in her bid for mayor, she will be giving up her District 3 council seat.

Duffey said at that point, the council will be required to appoint someone to finish out Engerman’s term or call for a special election to fill the open seat.

With the vote count being so close, election officials said an automatic recount is required if the difference between the highest number of votes cast in an election contest and the next highest number of votes in the same contest is less than or equal to 0.5%. Under this circumstance, the Colorado Secretary of State would order a recount within 25 days.

In council elections, outcomes were clearer.

District 3 Councilmember Roger Hudson easily won re-election,

In the District 2 race, incumbent Councilmember Ben Price came out ahead of challenger Chuck Lowen, who was running as a ticket with mayoral candidate David McEntire.

As for Nov. 8, Price was leading the race with about 56% of the votes, with Lowen trailing at 44%.

Price will continue serving with Councilmember Kevin Rants in District 2.

In District 1, Chris Eubanks ran unopposed to secure his first fouryear term. Mayor Pro Tem Melissa Coudeyras opted not to seek reelection. In District 1, Eubanks will join sitting Councilmember Deborah Mulvey.

Castle Rock to provide water services to Bell Mountain Ranch Town to acquire water district assets, 321 new households The fourth floor at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital now has 36 additional beds to meet a growing COURTESY IMAGE demand.

Castle Rock Adventist expands its capacity More beds are available for post-surgical patients

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As hospitals statewide struggle with increased capacity, Castle Rock Adventist Hospital announced the addition of 36 beds for post-surgical patients on the

newly remodeled fourth floor.

The new beds opened to patients on Nov. 2. According to the news release announcing the completion of the project, officials of the hospital, operated by Centura Health, said as COVID-19 cases continue to increase, the additional beds are going to be vital to meet patient needs as the Castle Rock hospital is near capacity daily.

Castle Rock Water will be providing services to 321 homes in unincorporated Douglas County after the council approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Bell Mountain Ranch Metropolitan District that has been 16 years in the making.

During the Nov. 2 council meeting, Town Manager David Corliss said the town was not looking to expand water services, noting that Bell Mountain Ranch (BMR), a subdivision located south of town, requested the town take over providing water services to its residents.

Water Director Mark Marlowe said he is leading the

completion of the agreement that started more than 16 years ago and is finally coming to fruition.

Marlowe said BMR residents have been getting water from a system outside the town that relies on nonrenewable groundwater. Over the last five years, Marlowe said BMR has struggled to meet state water quality standards.

To make the partnership work, Marlowe said BMR will pay all the required fees and put up the capital required to establish connections with the town water system through a 30-year finance agreement with Castle Rock.

With the council approval, Marlowe said the BMR Water District will officially be dissolved. Taking on the 321 homes is permanent, Marlowe said.

In taking on the new homes, Marlowe said Castle Rock will benefit through acquiring all SEE WATER, P5

“Centura Health strives to further nourish our local community and provide whole-person care,” said hospital CEO Jeremy Pittman. “We believe this addition to the hospital will allow us to serve even more community members with lifechanging care.”

Completing the fourth floor caps off more than two years of planning, with actual construction starting in April this year. Altogether, the expansion cost the hospital an restimated $14 million.

Hospital officials said the fourth floor was set aside for expansion

l BMR assets, including a tank site and wastewater treatment site, Denver Basin water rights, and a distribution system.

In acquiring the BMR assets, Marlowe said the town will have the capability to achieve expansion plans that have been in the works.

“Everything (the BMR Water District) owns will be deeded to the town,” Marlowe said. “The district will now have to adopt all of our rules, rates and fees.” l Once connected, Marlowe said BMR residents will pay Castle Rock water fees.

Marlowe said this is not a unique

when the hospital opened in 2011.

The Castle Rock hospital has continued to consistently grow as the town’s population has increased. By 2013, the hospital had added an additional 55 beds for patients.

According to the U.S. Census, Castle Rock is one of the fastestgrowing municipalities in the state, with a 41.9% population increase from 2010 to 2020. According to the data, Castle Rock’s 2020 population is 73,158. In 2010, the population was 48,251.

According to data provided by the hospital, Castle Rock Adventist serves more than 20,000 patients in its emergency department a year and more than 3,600 individuals for inpatient care.

After a short discussion, the council unanimously approved the IGA, which will now move forward with asking a district court to officially approve the dissolution of the BMR Water District and get bids for the connection fees, which has to come under $2.5 million.

If the court denies the plan, or bids come way higher than anticipated, Marlowe said BMR will have the option to terminate the IGA. Marlowe said BMR residents were given the opportunity through public hearings to comment on the proposed plans, noting there were few objections.

Parker brewery celebrates 3 years in operation Owners say it feels like ‘light at the end of a tunnel’

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Sharon and Aaron Murphy started the Welcome Home Brewery in Parker, they wanted to try something different from other craft brew spots.

Instead of metal accents and sleek, identical furnishings, the brewery features mismatched chairs, old doors used as tables and vintage windows hanging from the ceiling.

The space, located off Hess Road just south of Salisbury Equestrian Park, also includes an old piano and a fireplace to give it the feeling of a living room.

“They’re all things you would find in someone’s home,” Aaron said.

The hope was that the brewery would make customers feel like they’re sitting in their home, enjoying a beer with friends.

Now, the brewery is celebrating its three-year anniversary, which is even sweeter this year because it means they survived the pandemic restrictions of 2020, Sharon said.

“The first year of business is never easy and when you hit something like that in your second year, it’s kind of a kick to the gut,” she said about the pandemic. “When you really get to celebrate the third year it’s like okay, there’s a light at the

ery and found a location in Parker right next to Rocky Mountain Pizzeria. Now, the brewery allows drinkers to bring over pizza and food from the restaurant next door. They also offer charcuterie, soft pretzels and other small bites.

The brew house always has 16 beers, one root beer and multiple seltzer flavors on tap. Six of those beers, including a cream ale, juicy IPA and golden ale, are constants on the menu. The rest are rotating brews, including a Mexican lager in the summer and an icing-rimmed gingerbread beer in the winter.

Blue-friendly brews Aaron, who is also a sergeant with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, says he welcomes other law enforcement and first responders to their location.

Inside the brewery, Aaron and Sharon have put up flags and artwork showing their support of these groups. They also have a program where customers can pay for an extra beer, which will go to a first responder or law enforcement officer when they come in next.

“Law enforcement and their families can come and feel comfortable,” Aaron said.

The couple also seeks to attract families to stop by their brewery.

Many of the customers at Welcome Home Brewery are regulars, Sharon said.

“We’ve gotten to know a lot of our regulars and they’ve become our friends,” she said. “I think that’s indicative of the Parker community.”

During the pandemic, those regulars continued supporting the brewery and have stayed consistent after restrictions were lifted, Sharon said. The brew house never had to lay anyone off because of programs like the federal Paycheck Protection Program, Aaron said.

When indoor dining was limited, the couple added an outdoor patio, which has remained ever since.

Eventually, they were able to apply for the county’s 5-Star program,

which allowed businesses with extended COVID-19 protection measures to open their doors to more customers.

“Celebrating three years felt like another milestone, especially through the pandemic with so many small businesses not being able to make it,” Aaron said.

For their Oct. 23 anniversary event, the brewery hosted a party featuring ax throwing and a live band.

“Thank you for making us a part of your families and your lives,” Aaron said. “We look forward to seeing all our familiar faces and we hope to stay for a long time and get to know a lot more.”

“I want to make sure they fulfill that promise of having a listening tour and trying to take into consideration different groups of people’s voices, not only the ones who yell the loudest,” Leung said.

“We want to work with our new Douglas County Health Board, that’s what we want. There was a reason they moved away from Tri-County,” Myers said.

Candidates said they plan to work with the other three board members and Superintendent Corey Wise as well, despite different stances on COVID policies and other issues.

Current board President David Ray and Wise have both said the suit was necessary to protect the civil rights of students vulnerable to COVID-19, and their access to education. Both have also said the district will remain committed to equity in education.

Getting to work Kids First candidates said the top of their agenda will be nixing maskMyers ing mandates, working alongside the new Douglas County Health Department and taking another look at the district’s lawsuit against the agency, they said.

“Definitely the top is to try to kill the current lawsuit that’s against Douglas County Health Board, just kind of get some expert advice about the best way to handle it,” Winegar Williams said of her plans.

In the federal lawsuit, the district joined several families of children with medical conditions and disabilities in seeking to block the Douglas County Health Department’s first public health order, which let people opt out of masking mandates.

U.S. District Court Judge John Winegar Kane temporarily blocked the county’s order, and the district resumed requiring mask wearing unless someone has a medical exemption. On Nov. 8, Kane extended his order for another two weeks.

At press time, there was a possibility the district’s lawsuit might be dismissed within days if the health board were to change its order.

Interviewed before that possibility emerged, Williams and Peterson said they would need to learn more about the lawsuit and its status when they assume office and consult with district legal counsel. Myers and Winegar sounded like they were more certain they want the suit gone.

Building trust Peterson said the Kids First slate plans to set and announce “very specific, objectively measurable standards” for where they believe the district should go. The public will be able to hold directors accountable to those, and the superintendent will know “what we’re grading him on.”

As for masking, he hopes the board and Wise can agree on strongly recommending masks, as was the policy at the start to the school year.

At the last board meeting before Election Day, multiple people upset with masking mandates called for the entire board and Wise’s resignations.

Myers said another superintendent departure in the district would “just send, not a good message.”

“This district does not need another superintendent gone. Three superintendents in four years is not healthy,” Myers said. “It’s not stabilizing. We have told Corey, we’re going to work with you.”

Kids First candidates said one of the main hurdles will be building trust between the board, teachers and families.

Williams said a majority of parents want leadership who will “put parents in charge of their kids’ education.” Peterson said many parents feel they’ve been removed as a “vital check and balance on the system.”

“If we can get the parents and the teachers in a respectful, mutual partnership, everything’s going to be great relative to academics,” Peterson said. “The parents are the experts on their kids. The teachers are experts on getting them from wherever they are to wherever they can go individually, and helping them achieve their potential.”

agencies, including requiring mask wearing in schools. That drew fire from parents who poured into recent board meetings to oppose mandates.

The district has also stressed it does not teach critical race theory, a college-level discipline that examines how institutions may reinforce racism, but critics have said the district’s equity policy was implemented in ways that brought CRT training into schools nonetheless.

The Kids First slate of candidates vowed to stymie both masking mandates and to keep lessons that smack of CRT out of schools. They ultimately prevailed on Election Day, seizing no less than an 8 percentage point margin over their opponents as results refreshed throughout the night.

Peterson and his fellow slate members Becky Myers, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar said results show parents want a new direction for the district.

The four will take over a majority of the board when they are sworn in. That ceremony is scheduled for Nov. 30.

The Colorado Sun reported that the Douglas County school board election was tops in Colorado for the most money raised and spent by candidates in a school district in 2021. The winning Douglas County candidates outspent their opponents by a combined $214,000 to $132,000, and each received contributions from wealthy county residents ranging from $10,000 to $25,000, The Sun noted.

All candidates on the opposing CommUNITY Matters slate — incumbents Krista Holtzmann and Kevin Leung, along with Ruby Martinez and Juli Watkins — conceded by Nov. 3, ushering in a significant shift in district leadership.

The CommUNITY Matters candidates have concerns, they said. They hope Kids First candidates make good on their promise to look at a mill levy override for more teacher pay. Holtzmann worries the new slate will not be able to provide in-person learning that is accessible for every student, she said.

Leung noted that races were separated by a few thousand votes, indicating the community is still divided. Their opponents had a financial advantage too, he said, spending twice what CommU-

Colo. voters reject giving lawmakers more spending oversight ‘It was always going to be an uphill battle,’ said measure’s architect

BY THY VO THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters rejected a conservative-backed ballot measure seeking to give state lawmakers more oversight over how to spend money from the federal government and lawsuit settlements.

With more than 1.3 million ballots counted as of late Nov. 3, Amendment 78 was failing with 43.7% voting in favor of the measure and 56.4% against it. The proposed constitutional amendment needed approval from 55% of voters to pass.

Voters in the conservative strongholds of Mesa and Douglas counties were rejecting the measure. Amendment 78 was only barely above water in El Paso County, Colorado’s most populous conservative county.

“I think on 78 it was always going to be an uphill battle,” said Michael Fields, the architect and main proponent of the measure.

He also leads the conservative fiscal nonprofit Colorado Rising Action.

“These were confusing, tricky questions,” Scott Wasserman, an Amendment 78 opponent who leads the liberal-leaning Bell Policy -Center, said of the three statewide measures on the 2021 ballot.

The Colorado General Assembly has an appropriation process to ddecide how state tax revenue is spent each year, but certain nonstate sources like federal grant money, private donations and other “custodial funds” from outside the state government aren’t subject to that process.

For example, the $1.7 billion in federal relief dollars that Colorado

received last year from the CARES Act wasn’t subject to the legislative appropriation process. It was spent by Gov. Jared Polis’ office through an executive order, angering Republicans who complained they were left out of the decision making.

“We’re excited Colorado voters saw through this measure,” said Kathy White, deputy director of the Colorado Fiscal Institute.

“They recognized last year, with COVID relief dollars that came into this state, the importance of getting that to their communities quickly and efficiently.”

Proponents of Amendment 78 said it would have provided greater transparency and accountability in state spending by requiring lawmakers to determine how the state spends custodial money, which could affect federal emergency relief and grant dollars, money from legal settlements, funding for transportation projects that are currently allocated by an independent commission and private gifts and donations, like those collected by public colleges and universities.

“I just want more oversight over where the money is going and what it’s doing,” said Dom Galluccio, a 32-year-old unaffiliated voter from Denver who cast his ballot at the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building on Tuesday afternoon.

The ballot measure would have created an appropriation process where members of the public can provide input. It also would have placed all custodial funds into a centralized account, with interest from that account flowing into the state’s general fund.

Opponents called it a political ploy to stymie a Democratic administration and said it would create unnecessary work for lawmakers, who already review custodial spending broadly.

Colo. measure to raise pot tax for education fails Proposition 119 split high-profile Democrats

BY DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters rejected a proposal to increase taxes on recreational marijuana to pay for out-of-school support services for students like tutoring and therapy.

Supporters of Proposition 119 admitted defeat at about 8:30 p.m. election night, Nov. 2.

With nearly 1.4 million ballots counted as of late Nov. 3, the measure was failing with 54.4% rejecting the initiative and 46% in support, about a 120,000-vote deficit.

The mood at the Maven Hotel in downtown Denver, where about 50 supporters for Proposition 119 held the official Yes on 119 watch party, was hopeful around 7 p.m. on election night as attendees sipped drinks and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres while watching early results trickle in. But the mood began to fade after 8 p.m. as the measure looked increasingly unlikely to succeed. Few supporters remained by 8:30 p.m.

Judy Solano, a Democratic former state representative and retired school teacher who helped lead the opposition, said she was “thrilled that the voters were smart enough to realize that creating a huge new bureaucracy to take care of one issue in education… would have been a very expensive and unnecessary thing to do.”

She thinks voters “saw through” supporters’ arguments and decided “we have to properly fund our schools before we do anything else.”

Members of Colorado’s cannabis industry were also celebrating.

“Despite being significantly outspent by proponents, Colorado voters still soundly rejected using cannabis as a piggy bank for out-of-state special interest projects,” said Peter Marcus, spokesman for Boulder-based cannabis company Terrapin Care Station,

which worked with opponents of the measure on its defeat. “We can’t balance the state budget and education on the backs of cannabis consumers; we need long-term solutions that address structural deficiencies.”

Supporters of the measure were disappointed.

“The significant gap in achievement between students from wealthy families and their lowincome peers has been an unfortunate educational outcome in Colorado for years — and tonight’s results mean it will likely continue to get worse before it gets better,” Curtis Hubbard, a spokesman for the Yes on Prop. 119 committee, said in a statement. “Access to affordable, quality after-school education services is not a possibility for many families living in Colorado — and we will work with anyone who has a better idea on how to tackle the problem.”

Josh Penry, a Republican former state senator and consultant to the

Yes on Prop. 119 campaign, attributed the loss to opposition on both sides of the aisle, with Democrats and Republicans both finding elements of the measure to dislike.

“Base Democrats rallied against the school choice elements, base Republicans objected to the tax increase, and in an electorate dominated by voters over the age 60, there just weren’t enough parents and voters in the middle to get us to 50% plus 1,” Penry said.

Supporters of Proposition 119 had said the program would give kids from lower income families a chance to access tutoring and enrichment programs, helping those kids catch up academically to more privileged peers and start to regain ground they lost during the pandemic.

The measure enjoyed bipartisan support, including from high-profile Colorado Democrats like Gov. Jared Polis, former Gov. Bill Ritter, former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, former U.S. Sen. Mark Udall and state Sen. Rhonda Fields.

Republican former Gov. Bill Owens was a supporter, as was GOP state Sen. Bob Gardner, of Colorado Springs.

“The hours our children spend after school are a critical time, and Proposition 119 will allow more kids to benefit from after-school learning activities — from tutoring to music and art,” Polis said in a statement.

But the measure also faced bipartisan opposition. State Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat, and Senate Minority Leader Chris Holbert, a Douglas County Republican, co-wrote an opinion piece in The Gazette opposing the measure.

Also against the measure was Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, a Democrat who said the measure “diverts new marijuana tax revenue from appropriate uses, shifts limited state funds from our public K-12 schools and it lacks robust oversight and accountability.”

Some public education advo-

cates saw it as a slippery slope to a voucher system and a threat to public education in the state.

Any new tax revenue for education, they argued, should go into the existing system rather than a whole new program. Opponents in the cannabis industry said the increased sales tax would have punished those least able to pay and could push consumers back into the black market.

Sam Heiden, a Denver resident who was voting in his first Denver election on Tuesday, voted no on Proposition 119, questioning why dollars from increased taxes wouldn’t go to benefit the state’s public schools instead of out-ofschool learning opportunities.

“Why is it not just going directly to schools instead of out-of-school activities that may or may not benefit certain groups of students?” the 26-year-old Democrat asked after voting at the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building in downtown Denver.

Tom Lucas, a 70-year-old Denver Democrat, thought the marijuana industry was unfairly targeted.

“If it’s that important, then the tax burden should be spread across a wider tax base than just marijuana. If we’re gonna kill the goose, we’re gonna wind up having a black market again,” he said.

Lucas said he understands the need to help children succeed academically, “but if kids are not achieving in school, it seems to me the money should go to schools and not to after school programs.”

The program would have largely been paid for by raising recreational marijuana taxes by 5 percentage points, to 20% from 15%, phased in over three years. Non-partisan legislative staff estimated the new taxes would have raised more than $87 million next fiscal year, and the new revenue would have been exempt from state constitutional spending limits.

Property tax cut loses, even in conservative counties Prop 120 targeted assessment rates on multifamily housing

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters rejected a Republican-backed effort to reduce some property taxes, a stinging defeat for conservatives who have increasingly turned to ballot measures to advance their policies as their statewide and legislative candidates keep losing.

The vote for Proposition 120 as of late Nov. 3 was 56.6% in opposition to the ballot measure and 43.4% in favor with about 1.35 million ballots counted.

The ballot measure was failing by a wide margin in conservative strongholds like Mesa and Douglas counties. It was also falling short in El Paso County, the state’s most populous conservative county.

“There was a combination of confusion and people thinking that it was not a tax cut for them,” said Michael Fields, the architect of Proposition 120 who leads the conservative fiscal policy group Colorado Rising Action.

Fields said the fact that voters in conservative counties were rejecting the measure was a clear sign that the policy was misunderstood.

The failure of Proposition 120 surprised many Democrats, especially considering there was no money spent by liberal groups to fight the measure. Republicans dropped in excess of $1.5 million to try to pass the initiative.

“I think the voters who understand how stuff they care about gets funded turned out,” said Scott Wasserman, a Proposition 120 opponent who leads the liberal-leaning Bell Policy Center. “I think you had a very educated electorate that was in a ‘no’ kind of mood.”

Amie Baca-Oehlert, president of the Colorado Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, said the defeat of Proposition 120 sends a strong message

A multifamily residential development in Denver.

that Colorado voters recognize the funding challenges for schools and other public services. Property tax revenue funds schools and other local districts.

“Our public schools have been underfunded for well over a decade,” Baca-Oehlert said. “The fact that our voters recognize that and understand the need to support public services is a hopeful and happy outcome of this election, if those results hold.”

Proposition 120 would have reduced the property tax assessment rates for multifamily residential properties to 6.5% from 7.15% starting in 2022. It also would have dropped the rate for lodging properties to 26.4% from 29% under Proposition 120.

Proponents of the measure said a property tax reduction for multifamily housing would reduce rents and encourage investment to ease the state’s housing shortage.

Lower property taxes for lodging properties may have allowed businesses to expand and hire more employees.

Opponents argued that slashing property taxes might result in cuts to government services, including for schools and fire departments that rely on property tax revenue to operate.

Bonnie Doolittle, a 35-year-old Democrat and marketing professional who lives in Denver, said she voted against Proposition 120.

In fact, she said she always votes against tax reductions.

“You never reduce taxes,” Doolittle said. “The city is too big, there’s too many people. We need infrastructure. That takes money.

Sorry about it, y’all, but we’re in it together, so you gotta pay your fair share.”

Sabrina Balister, a 57-year-old Republican in Colorado Springs, had a different stance.

“I voted yes for that one to help out homeowners,” Balister said.

She said she believed the proposition would give homeowners a needed break and promote home ownership.

The ballot question initially sought to reduce property taxes across the board, but Senate Bill 293, passed by state lawmakers this year, dramatically blunted the measure.

Senate Bill 293 created new subcategories of residential and commercial property in an effort to limit the effects of the ballot measure. It then drove down the assessment rates for those new

categories, though by not as much as Proposition 120 would have.

Here’s the breakdown: • Single-family properties are taxed on 6.9% of assessed value, down from from 7.15 • Multifamily properties are taxed on 6.8%, down from 7.15% • The rate for agricultural property dropped to 26.4%, from 29% • Property used to produce renewable energy is taxed on 26.4% of assessed value, down from 29% There’s a big catch, however.

The rate decreases under Senate Bill 293 apply only in the 2022 and 2023 tax years. After that, state lawmakers must decide whether to continue with the lower assessment rates or raise them to their previous levels.

Fields vowed to file a lawsuit to invalidate Senate Bill 293 if Proposition 120 passed.

Opponents had warned that Proposition 120 would have caused a $1 billion tax hit if Fields’ legal action was successful.

The spending for and against Proposition 120 was lopsided.

Cut Property Taxes, which supported the ballot measure, spent more than $407,000 in the final two weeks before the election on digital and radio advertising. Overall, the group raised and spent more than $1.5 million, with about $870,000 of that going to signature gathering to get the measure on the ballot.

Dark-money group Unite for Colorado, which doesn’t disclose its donors, gave $875,000 to the issue committee, while Colorado Rising State Action, another dark money nonprofit, gave $347,000. And the Apartment Association of Metro Denver gave nearly $242,000.

Time to press the energy button

W

e are all familiar with the image of the “Easy Button,” as we have seen it in commercials, in stores, and in advertisements.

Many people WINNING use is as a funny response to a text WORDS or on social media as a GIF or meme.

It’s a fantastically simple yet powerful marketing play, and the benefit clearly articulated.

It’s easy, and we all want easy.

Lately many of Michael Norton the messages I receive are around energy, or more accurately stated, a lack of energy.

People are tired, even exhausted, and I get that. The reasons that many of you provided for feeling a bit lethargic were very similar.

Everything from stress, worry, doing work that is not motivating, overworked, feeling unappreciated, and just everything going on in the world. Robin M. asked me this, “Like the `Easy Button’ isn’t there

some kind of an `Energy Button’ that I can just press?”

Before responding I did what anyone of us might do when looking for an answer, I Googled it. And like many of the emails that I received, I found the same lists of ideas to become rejuvenated such as mid-day workouts, stepping away from the current task, hydrating, breathing, and other good ideas.

And here is what I would add: Step one is to know what energizes us and what sucks the life out of us. It’s not the same for everyone.

We are all motivated and inspired by different things. And we all have different activities that we find draining. The guidance here in step one is avoidance. If the news is dragging you down, turn it off and stop checking it on your phone 24/7. Some might say they need to stay aware of all that is happening.

Trust me on this one, turn it off, unplug, and if something so big happens in the world that you need to know about, someone will tell you, I promise.

Step two is to try and identify the loss of energy as quickly as pos-

sible. Think of it this way, like the battery on our cell phone or laptop.

It seems like are battery remains full for a long time, but once it starts running down, it runs down quickly. And the lower the battery gets, the faster it runs out. It seems like the gas tank in our car is the same way, doesn’t it? That needle points to full for a long time, but once it starts moving, it’s a fast trip from Full to Empty.

The trick is to stay ahead of the depletion. Identify the early symptoms and take preventive measures before our personal batteries die or our fuel tanks become dry.

Step one, knowing what sucks the energy from us and avoid those things. Step two is to make a quick diagnosis and stay ahead of the energy loss. This is kind of like taking pain medication after surgery or over the counter headache medicine when we first feel the symptoms coming on, getting ahead of it, and staying ahead of it is so much easier.

Step three is having whatever it is that reenergizes us readily available. Coffee, water, mid-day work-

outs don’t do it for me. However, my Bible does. I have a Bible app on my phone and a physical Bible with me most of the time. I also love a funny joke or powerful inspiring quote like this one by Zig Ziglar, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing.

That’s why we recommend it daily.”

If your reenergizer is a walk, a talk with a good friend, a picture of your family, or just some quiet time, then make sure you know how to access those when the energy starts getting low.

Are you struggling staying energized? Is it impacting your ability to work and focus or enjoy quality time with your friends and family? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we know where to find our “Energy Button” and how and when to press it, this really will be a better than good year.

Developmentally disabled students are in schools, but so is segregation

T

here is a sentiment that I believe we can all agree on: Children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities should be included in all aspects of society. It’s simple.

It’s direct. And, frankly, it’s hard to GUEST argue with.

COLUMN The Arc, all 15 Arc chapters here in Colorado, and Arc Thrift Stores live and breathe this sentiment every day. It applies to how we serve, how we employ, how we engage with our Lloyd Lewis partners, and how we believe business should be run.

It also applies to education. And, now that a new school year is underway, education is on my mind.

The U.S. has a long and conflicted history with its approach to segregated vs. inclusive education for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

For most of our history, children with these disabilities have been completely excluded from the public education system and placed in special education programs or

entirely separate schools.

It wasn’t until 1975 — not even 50 years ago — that the Education for All Handicapped Children Act was passed. The act opened schoolhouse doors and mandated free and appropriate public education for children with disabilities, and the provision of special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living.

But it wasn’t enough.

Then, in 1990, the act was modified and became the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The new act went further than its predecessor, with the goal being “to provide children with disabilities the same opportunity for education as those students who do not have a disability” and required that public schools create an Individualized Education Program “for each student who is found to be eligible under both the federal and state eligibility/disability standards.”

Better. But still it wasn’t, and isn’t, enough.

The fact is that the specifics of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act have remained essentially unchanged for more

than three decades. Segregation of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the classroom remains a major issue in our country, and in Colorado. Most children with these disabilities in our state are taught in segregated classrooms.

We must continue the fight that started back in the 1960s and ‘70s and move beyond what are essentially merely modest accommodations to true and holistic inclusion and complete integration.

UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children gives us this description of true inclusive education: An education system that includes all students, and welcomes and supports them to learn, whoever they are and whatever their abilities or requirements. This means making sure that teaching and the curriculum, school buildings, classrooms, play areas, transport and toilets are appropriate for all children at all levels. Inclusive education means all children learn together in the same schools. No one should be excluded.

Perhaps that is a tall order, but it was one we must fulfill.

I have a 17-year-old son with Down syndrome who is now being

taught in many mainstream classrooms in a highly regarded public school. He has benefited greatly from the kind teachers, the supportive staff, and the educational provisions afforded him through his IEP. His schools, in turn, benefitted from him, from his presence and his unique contributions.

Here are the facts: • With lesson modifications, kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities benefit greatly from being in an integrated and inclusive classroom.

• They can learn and thrive in mainstream classrooms.

• They can contribute to their mainstream peers when integrated into the classroom.

And that is the point. Every child has contributions to make — in the classroom and out. Why would we want to deny ourselves of those contributions — whether they come from a child without these disabilities or someone with them?

From a practical standpoint, inclusion and integration in our schools means we must invest in training our teachers so they can understand and adapt to different

Douglas County joins in on state’s opioid settlement County will work with municipalities to dole out funds

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County will participate in a statewide settlement agreement following litigation that aims to hold the makers of pain pills accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic.

The Douglas County commissioners agreed Oct. 19 to sign onto a memorandum of understanding with the Colorado Department of Law and all other counties and municipalities that agree to the

Gary Community Investment Company donated more than $2.2 million to support the measure, with nearly $780,000 of that coming since Oct. 20.

The issue committee raised $2.6 million and spent $2.4 million through Oct. 27, which doesn’t include another $250,000 Gary Community Investment Company donated on Oct. 28. Ready Colorado, a conservative education reform nonprofit, donated $525,000 to the issue committee.

The opposition to 119 was not as well financed.

“It sounded like more red tape,” said Denver resident Sam Heiden, a 26-year-old Democrat, after voting in person Tuesday.

“The structure of the settlement is such that the state of Colorado and other states stand to get significantly more money from these defendants if local governments, like Douglas County, participate in the settlements,” said John FeeneyCoyle, a senior assistant attorney general in the Colorado Department of Law, during a meeting with commissioners.

Colorado stands to receive more than $400 million from the settlement, 80% of which will be distributed to local governments either directly or on a regional basis.

the ground up starting with local governments,” Feeney-Coyle said, “You all, I think, know better than anyone else the impact this crisis has had on your citizens.”

The national settlement, for a proposed $26 billion, is with the opioid manufacturers or distributors Johnson & Johnson, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, McKesson Corporation and Cardinal Health Inc. The funding each county or municipality receives is required to go toward programs that aid in abating the opioid epidemic, Feeney-Coyle said. The agreement also mandates that the county work with its municipalities to decide how the money will be spent. It asks that the county form a regional committee to make those choices.

Commissioner George Teal said that while Douglas County hasn’t been impacted as deeply by the opioid epidemic as other parts of the state, these funds may offer a chance to take a proactive stance on the issue.

“As were rolling out our public health department and we are breaking away from Tri-County over time, maybe this is an area we look to, quite frankly, to get a head start on and move forward with a prevention program that makes use of these funds,” he said.

The decision was unanimously approved by the commissioners.

“We are so grateful that Colorado so far has been able to sort of stand out and be a beacon for collaboration on this important issue” Feeney-Coyle said.

ACCESSING COLORADO How different resources are making the outdoors accessible to people with disabilities

BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen looking to get outside and make memories with friends and family, disability should not be something that limits someone experiencing the outdoors.

Check out examples of accessibility in Colorado that make the outdoors available for people with disabilities.

Getting there When trying to choose an activity, navigating parks and outdoor spaces can be overwhelming for people with disabilities. From knowing where accessible trailheads are, to knowing where to park, there can be uncertainties in getting started. Ashley Lyn Olson, who started the website wheelchairtraveling.com, aims to make that experience easier.

Growing up as someone who loved hiking and camping, Olson did not let her paralysis at 14 stop her from experiencing the outdoors.

“I started the website in 2006.

The mission is to empower people with limited mobility, their friends and loved ones. “ Her international site features city and park guides, hotel reviews, plane tips, tour companies and adaptive activities. She has the voices of more than 300 writers on the site.

Her goal? Share her travel experience, and let others share theirs, all in hopes that it makes traveling to that location easier for the next person.

Olson doesn’t always follow the “accessible” path though. Checking out things on her own, she has tried many trails that do not boast accessibility, but she thought looked flat enough for her chair.

This way she opens up more options for people in the future who check out her site.

Not every path she tries ends up being chair-friendly.

“I’ve definitely got myself into jams,” she said. Olson explained how she has ended up with her wheels stuck, falling out of her chair, even losing a shoe. But her love of adventure propels her forward.

Local opportunity Staunton State Park near Pine

started its track chair program in 2017, which allows people with limited mobility the freedom to explore trails of the park. Track chairs are all-terrain wheelchairs.

The program currently has four chairs, with another one on the way, and recently gave one to Barr Lake State Park near Brighton.

Track chair program manager Natalie Burnside-Bostow says this chair hand-off was an important step in the program’s mission of accessibility.

“One of our biggest goals is to continue to see our program spread to other parts (of Colorado), and to see other parts of Colorado build these types of programs,” Burnside-Bostow said.

The program at Staunton sees people of all ages and all ability levels.

“We get everything. Last weekend I had a 2-year-old, the week before that I had someone that it was their 91st birthday,” BurnsideBostow said.

Most importantly, the program looks to break down barriers that many people with disabilities face in accessing the outdoors.

In working with this program, Burnside-Bostow explains that while there may be perceived roadblocks, “No matter what the activity, there is a way to adapt the activity so everyone can participate.”

The National Sports Center for the Disabled is an organization

based in Denver that offers outdoor experiences across Colorado for people with disabilities.

During their fall/winter season, the NSCD offers rock climbing, hiking/snowshoeing, adaptive alpine and cross-country skiing, shooting sports and more.

Kim Easton, the CEO for the NSCD, says that the programs the organization offers keeps people coming back.

“The majority of our individuals, once they find us and try something…..they kind of get hooked.”

The NSCD is powered by volunteers that share their passion for sports and outdoors. The organization is coming up on its 52nd year of operation.

Moving forward The Outdoor Equity Grant Program, established by Colorado House Bill 21-1318, wants to “increase access and opportunity for underserved youth and their families to experience Colorado’s open spaces, state parks, public lands, and other outdoor areas,” according to the program’s website.

This program could prove instrumental in helping disabled youths be able to experience the outdoors in Colorado.

Kenny Maestas is the legislative coordinator for the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition. He has been working on the grant program with representatives and senators from Colorado, making

sure the CCDC is heard.

The grant coalition is made up of board members, including youth seats. Maestas said he sees the importance of young people being able to have access to the outdoors in a geographically diverse state.

“And to live in one of the most beautiful states and never get to experience anything is a crime, I think,” Maestas said.

Health officials urge mask wearing amid COVID surge Warning cites ‘steadily increasing cases,’ hospital bed capacity

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With Colorado’s number of COVID-19 hospitalizations now higher than it was at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic’s first wave in the state in spring 2020, health officials are again urging residents to wear masks in public.

The Nov. 5 announcement was called a statewide “public health advisory,” a term that state health officials appear not to have used before in news releases about the pandemic. The careful language reflected Colorado’s reluctance to again issue a mask mandate for the general public in most settings, a requirement that the state allowed to expire this spring.

“As public health officials, we are issuing this statewide advisory due to steadily increasing cases and a concern for hospital bed capacity,” the metro Denver health officials wrote in a news release.

In a Nov. 7, 2020, file photo, pedestrians stroll in the Highlands neighborhood of Denver during a period PHOTO BY KATHRYN SCOTT/SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO SUN when an outdoor mask mandate was in effect in the city.

Colorado and the Denver metro region continue to see steady increases in COVID-19 cases, according to the release. On Nov. 4, Colorado’s rate of daily new cases — 49 per 100,000 people — was the fifth high-

est in the country and one of the fastest growing, the release said.

The state’s number of hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 was 1,296 as of Nov. 5 — outpacing the 1,277 confirmed and

suspected COVID patients on April 9, 2020, the highest recorded number during Colorado’s first wave, according to state data.

Deaths among Coloradans with COVID-19 have routinely reached above

20 per day since late September this year, with 29 deaths occurring on Oct. 17 alone. That’s the highest total since Jan. 10, when the state’s death rate was trending downward after the winter surge.

The advisory was issued by the Metro Denver Partnership for Health, which includes the public health agencies of Boulder, Broomfield, Jefferson and Denver counties as well as Tri-County Health Department, which serves Adams and Arapahoe counties and provides certain publichealth services to Douglas County.

Hospitals serving metro Denver are full or nearing capacity due to COVID-19, non-COVID-19 emergencies and other routine visits, with less than 10% of staffed beds available — a trend not seen at any other point in the pandemic, according to the news release.

Nearly 40% of hospitals report current or anticipated staff shortages within the next week, the Nov. 5 release said.

While Colorado’s current COVID hospitalizations are about two-thirds of SEE SURGE, P22

Many Colo. voters have soured on Democrats, poll shows Survey offers ‘warning sign’ for Dems a year ahead of 2022 vote

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters have a less favorable view of Gov. Jared Polis, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and President Joe Biden compared to four months ago, according to a new poll released exactly a year out from the 2022 election.

But while Democrats’ favorability numbers may have decreased, and Biden’s job approval took a hit, Polis’ approval numbers have stayed steady.

Andrew Baumann, a pollster at the Democratic firm Global Strategy Group, which conducted the survey, said the results are “certainly a warning sign” for Democrats, namely when it comes to Biden’s decreases, which could affect the midterms.

The Rocky Mountaineer poll of 800 Colorado registered voters was conducted Oct.19-24 by Global Strategy Group, in partnership with ProgressNow Colorado, a liberal political advocacy nonprofit. The survey was weighted to match Colorado’s voter registration split and had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

viewed him unfavorably.

When it comes to job approval, 47% of voters said they approve of the job Biden is doing while 50% said they disapprove. Another 3% said they didn’t know. The numbers are down from June, when 56% of voters said they approve of the job Biden is doing as president, while 40% said they disapprove and 4% said they didn’t know.

For Polis, 57% approve of the job he is doing while 37% disapprove.

Six percent said they didn’t know.

The numbers are consistent with the June poll, when 58% of voters said they approve of the job Polis is doing as governor and 36% said they disapprove.

“There’s no doubt that the presidential job approval matters in midterms,” Baumann said. “It’s down here. It’s down across the country.

It’s not ideal.”

Democrats still hold advantage Baumann thinks inflationary concerns and congressional Democrats’ infighting over two major spending bills are contributing to the declining favorability numbers. “It hasn’t been our finest hour,” he said.

While Baumann said elements of the poll are concerning, he doesn’t think the numbers reflect a changing political situation in Colorado, which has favored Democrats in the last two election cycles.

“Nothing in these data show that the fundamental political calculus in Colorado has changed,” Baumann said.

Voters, for instance, still said they would back or lean toward backing a generic Democratic legislative candidate over a generic Republican candidate by a 7 percentage point margin if the election were held today.

And 52% of voters said they would vote for or lean toward voting for Polis compared with the 35% who said they would vote for Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl, who is currently a University of Colorado regent.

The poll also asked voters if they would vote for or lean toward voting for Bennet in an election against Republican challengers Eli Bremer, a former Olympian who lives in Colorado Springs, and state Rep. Ron Hanks of Fremont County.

Bennet was favored by at least 13 percentage points in both hypothetical matchups.

Voters also said they trust Democrats more than Republicans when it comes to reducing air pollution and addressing climate change, raising wages for Colorado workers, improving public education and bringing down the cost of health care.

When it comes to protecting public safety, handling the economic recovery after the pandemic and addressing Colorado’s rising cost of living, voters said they trust Democrats and the GOP equally.

Thirty-eight percent of voters said they have a favorable view of former President Donald Trump, compared with 58% who have an unfavorable view of him. When asked about U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, 25% said they have a favorable view of the Garfield

County Republican while 38% said they have an unfavorable view of her.

When asked if they agree or disagree that Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election, 67% of voters said they agree while 29% said they disagree. Four percent said they don’t know or refused to answer.

Among Republicans, just 38% said they agree that Biden legitimately won last year’s presidential election, while 57% said they disagree.

“Yes there’s been a little bit of a slip,” said Sara Loflin, who leads ProgressNow Colorado. But she said the poll clearly indicates Republicans “numbers are still in the toilet.”

Voters support mask wearing, vaccination The poll also asked coronavirusrelated questions, revealing mixed news for Democrats.

In June, 65% of registered voters said they approved of how Polis was handling the pandemic, while 30% said they disapproved and 5% said they didn’t know or refused to answer.

When asked this month, 58% said they approved of how Polis is handling COVID-19, while 35% said they disapprove and 6% said they didn’t know or refused to answer.

While Democratic voters remain supportive of how Polis has handled the pandemic, the October poll shows a decline in support among unaffiliated voters. Fifty-five percent of unaffiliated voters said they approved of the governor’s handling of COVID in the new poll, compared to 63% in June.

Biden also saw a steep decline in his COVID-related job approval among Colorado voters. Back in June, 63% said they approved of how he was handling the pandemic.

That dropped to 50% in October.

A brighter spot for Democrats in the recent poll is that 54% of voters think Polis and Democrats “got it about right” when it comes to their handling of the pandemic. Twentyseven percent said Democrats overreacted while 12% said they didn’t take it seriously enough.

Republicans in Colorado got much lower marks on the question. Just 31% said the GOP got it about right, while 44% said they didn’t take it seriously enough.

The poll also asked about requiring health care workers and state employees to be vaccinated, requiring teachers and students to wear masks at schools, and requiring airline passengers to show proof of vaccination before flights. More supported than opposed all three.

Sixty-two percent of voters said they are pro-mask while 30% said they are anti-mask. When asked about getting vaccinated against COVID, 74% said they are pro-vaccine while 20% said they are antivaccine.

“The data shows Coloradans are really on one side of the debate about vaccines and masks,” Baumann said.

what they were during the state’s winter surge last year, more people are now hospitalized in Colorado for other reasons — car accidents, heart attacks and issues caused by delayed medical care, The Colorado Sun reported. The state’s hospitals have not been more full during the pandemic, the Sun reported.

Gov. Jared Polis has said that if the surge continues, Colorado will need to request medical surge teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, and halt elective surgeries, according to the release. “Elective” means a surgery or procedure can be delayed without undue risk to health.

Hospitals may also need to resort to “crisis standards of care,” the release said. Crisis standards of care are guidelines for how the medical community should allocate scarce resources such as ventilators and intensive-care-unit beds in “the extreme case when patient needs exceed the resources available,” according to the state public-health department’s website.

Polis recently issued executive orders that included action to give the state greater authority to direct transfers of patients between hospitals, the Sun reported.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Oct. 31 ordered hospitals to suspend cosmetic surgeries in order to free up staff and bed space; some

WHY MASKS FOR THE VACCINATED? Many people in Colorado heard mask guidance change to include everyone — regardless of vaccination status — after the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in late July updated its guidance.

That change came amid the spread of the more-contagious delta coronavirus variant.

In light of new data on the delta variant, the CDC at that time updated its guidance for fully vaccinated people.

The CDC recommended “universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status,” according to its website.

The CDC guidance applied to schools everywhere — and to other indoor settings in counties with “substantial transmission” of the virus, according to John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department. hospitals have already gone further, delaying needed but non-emergency procedures, the Sun reported.

As of Oct. 30, the metro region alone had 581 hospitalizations due to COVID-19 — a number that has been increasing over the past weeks, the release said. A majority of these COVID hospitalizations — about 80% — continue to be among the unvaccinated, the release said.

The news release seemed to signal that more “advisories” — not orders — would be forthcoming if coronavirus trends continue to worsen.

“As public health officials, we

will continue to monitor trends in COVID-19, especially as the region moves into flu season and with holidays approaching, and issue advisories as needed,” the release said.

Details of officials’ guidance The state public-health department and the Metro Denver Partnership for Health urged the following actions and underscored the following information in the health advisory: • Wear a mask when in crowded public indoor spaces whether vaccinated or not, even in locations where your home county does not already require it. That’s especially important when visiting restaurants, bars, gyms and other crowded places that do not require proof of vaccination for staff and patrons.

• Move public and private gatherings and events outdoors whenever possible to increase ventilation (air circulation).

• Persons at high COVID risk — those who are not fully vaccinated and those with conditions that increase the risk of severe COVID — should consider staying out of public indoor spaces until the case rate has declined.

• Flu season has begun, so Coloradans should get a flu shot, which can be given at the same time as a COVID-19 vaccine.

• All eligible individuals should get vaccinated, including completing both doses of a vaccine if receiving the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, then get a booster dose after six months for extra protec-

tion if you are in a higher-risk group. “Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 infection and hospitalizations,” the release said. Vaccinations continue to be free — no insurance coverage required — and can be obtained in pharmacies and from health-care providers.

• Anyone who is 18 or older who would like a booster dose and is either six months past their initial series of a vaccine or two months past a one-dose Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccination should make a plan to get the booster dose or discuss with their doctor.

• The advisory noted that the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5-11 is now available, following the federal Food and Drug Administration’s emergency-use authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for that age group and approval by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

• COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies can help prevent severe illness for some people ages 12 years and older who get infected with COVID-19. If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or are not fully vaccinated and have been exposed to COVID-19, and you are at high risk of developing severe COVID-19 due to your age or medical condition, you may be eligible.

• Get tested if you are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19, and stay home if you are sick or waiting for test results. The news release said employees are entitled to paid sick leave if they have COVID as well as for getting vaccinated for COVID.

Mountain Vista upsets Broomfield’s Legacy in playoffs Highlands Ranch school forces 5 turnovers; Creek up next

BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Eighteenth-seeded Mountain Vista High School of Highlands Ranch pulled out all the stops to upset No. 15 Legacy High of Broomfield in the opening round of the CHSAA Class 5A state football playoffs Nov. 6.

Mountain Vista’s Golden Eagles scored 21 unanswered points and forced five turnovers to upset the favored Lightning 42-17 at Five Star Stadium in Westminster.

The Golden Eagles now have the tough task of upsetting the defending state champions, No. 2-seeded Cherry Creek, which had a bye in the first round. At pres time, the game’s date had not been set. “(Cherry Creek) is a great program. I’ve known (Creek coach Dave) Logan for a long time now,” Mountain Vista coach Garrett Looney said. “We have to play near perfect football and not make mistakes. I’m super proud of our kids and how they responded, but now we have to face the defending state champi-

ons.”

While the Golden Eagles didn’t play perfectly against Legacy, they showed enough resilience to take advantage of the mistake-prone Lightning.

Legacy’s mistakes gave

Mountain Vista and their talented freshman quarterback, Austyn Modrzewski, too many opportunities. Modrzewski shredded Legacy’s stout defense for 317 yards and six touchdown passes

in the contest, including a connection with fellow freshman Jakhai Mack on a 51-yard connection on the opening drive.

The Lightning cut the deficit to 7-3 after Chris Mcmillan connected on a

12 teams secure spots in state tournament to be held in Colorado Springs

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek, the top-seeded team in the 12 Class 5A state regional volleyball tournaments, rolled to wins over Westminster and Chatfield of Jefferson County to capture the Region 1 championship on Nov. 6.

The Bruins beat Westminster, 3-0, with 25-9, 25-5 and 25-10 set victories, and then whipped Chatfield, 3-0, with 25-21, 25-20 and 25-10 wins in the sets.

“I thought we played really well,” said Creek coach Steve Huntingdale.

“As a whole group we played well.

I’m really proud of the kids.”

Carter Booth, a 6-foot-7 senior who is the daughter of Denver Nuggets general manger Calvin Booth, was a dominant player for the Bruins as she repeatedly scored points with kills.

“Carter Booth was great,” said

Huntingdale. “She’s just a phenomenal player. But all our passers and defenders did a really great job. Our hitters got some really good looks.

So it was just us handling the ball, passing and defense. That relieves a lot of pressure and we could put a lot of offense on.”

Booth had 30 kills in the two matches. She had 21 kills and three blocks against Chatfield in the Bruins’ second match of the day.

Natalia Landry had 12 digs against Chatfield and five in the match with Westminster. Anna Van Wyk finished the two matches with 49 assists.

The 12 regional champions advance to the state tournament, which will be held Nov. 11-13 at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs.

“We just want to be consistent at the state tournament,” said Huntingdale. “The teams are going to be real consistent so the team that can play the steadiest, best volleyball for a longest amount of time is going to be hard to beat.

“So that is going to be the focus.

It’s going to be emotional, you win points and lose points. You’ve got to

keep driving and think about this (the next) point.”

Other regional champions who earned spots in the state tournament were Parker-area Chaparral, which captured the Region 2 crown, and Grandview of Aurora, which beat Littleton’s Heritage en route to winning in Region 3.

Mountain Vista of Highlands Ranch beat Doherty of Colorado Springs and Eaglecrest of Centennial to take the Region 4 crown while Valor Christian of Highlands Ranch took the Region 5 title.

Defending state champion Rampart of Colorado Springs was the Region 6 winner, Broomfield came out on top in Region 7, while Ralston Valley of Arvada had a tough match against Douglas County of Castle Rock but won the Region 8 title.

Highlands Ranch downed Brighton to win the Region 9 championship, Pueblo West was the Region 10 winner, Parker-area Legend reigned in Region 11 and 25th seed Rock Canyon of Highlands Ranch won Region 12.

In Class 3A, Parker-area Lutheran won the Region 3 title.

ball over three times in its own territory in the third quarter. And to make matters worse, starting quarterback Camdyn Johnston left the game with an injured shoulder early in the quarter.

A snap that sailed over the punter’s head early in the quarter gave Mountain Vista the ball at Legacy’s 13-yard line. One play later, Modrzewski found Chris Smith to advance the lead.

Next drive, Legacy fumbled the ball at the 30, and Modrzewski found Mack on the following play to push the lead to 18 points.

Modrzewski added another touchdown in the quarter with a screen pass to Elam Parises to give Mountain Vista a commanding 28-3 lead after three quarters.

Legacy finally saw some success late by running the wildcat formation late. Braelon Tate, who was battling an injured ankle in the contest, scored a 1-yard plunge to open the fourth. He then broke loose for a 54-yard run that set up his second touchdown in the contest.

But Modrzewski sealed the victory with a late touchdown pass to Tyrone Williams. “(Legacy) was a good team, they had injuries which hurt, but our team showed great resolve,” Looney said. “We made a couple of adjustments in the second half and our kids played really well.”

Tate had 127 yards in the contest and finishes his career at Legacy by breaking the school’s record for points scored with 114.

On the defensive side of the ball, Jackson Smith, Kaiden Rivera and Carter Daniels all had interceptions for Mountain Vista, while Alex Gottschalk had a pair of sacks and a fumble recovery.

Johnson had an interception for Legacy.

Mountain Vista’s season record was 5-6, 1-4 in 5A Douglas County.

Legacy finished the season with a record of 6-5, 4-1 in the class 5A North League.

Leftover Halloween pumpkins C R O S S W O R D P U Z Z L E make for farm feast

BY ALEXIS KIKOEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

On a dirt road in rural Elbert County about 10 miles east of Parker, a blue pickup truck drives toward Peachy Farms, a farm-animal rescue, education and therapy center. The bed of the truck is piled high with bright orange Halloween pumpkins. Behind the wheel is Mimi Nouri.

Nouri is the founder of Lone Treebased Garden to Farm, a nonprofit that seeks to prevent food waste by providing local farms with excess produce from residential gardens.

Once she arrives, Katrina Wright, owner and operator of Peachy Farms, starts cutting up the pumpkins. She is surrounded by over 100 animals including pigs, goats, llamas, alpacas, horses, emus, ducks, chickens, quail, and more. They have been receiving produce deliveries from Nouri for about a month.

Nouri started Garden to Farm in the early summer of 2021, as the result of an apple tree in her backyard producing an abundance of fruit.

To be sure, integration is a commitment. But we must stand strong and protect the legal mandate of

She was inspired to do something to prevent the apples from going to waste.

“Why am I not donating this and helping the smaller, rural farming communities that we have here in Colorado?” she thought.

Nouri started making calls to local farms, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Four farms in the area welcomed the extra produce as feed for their animals. “[The farms] were like, ‘We love it, we need the help, please bring it to us,’” recalls Nouri.

Nouri wants to make as big an impact as possible. She posted on NextDoor, Facebook, and Instagram, asking neighbors to donate their excess garden produce as well.

Then, she thought ahead to fall and Halloween.

“I knew we were going to have tons of pumpkins,” she says. She put out another post asking neighbors for their carved pumpkins, even offering to pick them up herself.

“On Halloween night, my phone blew up,” says Nouri. She has collected over 50 pumpkins to donate.

Nouri is thrilled to see the animals enjoying the pumpkins that would have otherwise been discarded.

Preventing food waste is central to the mission of Garden to Farm.

“It’s just a small person like me trying to make a big difference in the world, but it’s one step at a time,” says Nouri. “I cannot believe what our future will hold

A request for genetic tests shall not prejudice the requesting party in matters concerning allocation of parental responsibilities pursuant to §14-10124(1.5), C.R.S. If genetic tests are not obtained prior to a legal establishment of paternity and submitted into evidence prior to the entry of the final order, the genetic tests may not be allowed into evidence at a later date.

Are restrained from removing the minor child( ren) from the state without the consent of all parties or an Order of the Court modifying the injunction; and 3. Are restrained, without at least 14 days advance notification and the written consent of all other parties or an Order of the Court, from cancelling, modifying, terminating, or allowing to lapse for nonpayment of premiums, any policy of health insurance or life insurance that provides coverage to the minor child( ren) as a eneficiary of a policy.
