Douglas County voters will decide whether the county will extend its open space tax and whether it will have the option to fund broadband throughout the community after the board of commissioners approved both ballot questions Aug. 23.

The Open Space Sales and Use Tax, which funds acquisitions and maintenance of county open spaces, trails, parks and historic sites, is part of the county’s 1% sales tax. In 2017, the fund was used to purchase Sandstone Ranch, a 2,038-acre property now available to the public for hiking, biking and equestrians.Theballotlanguage would ask voters to approve an extension — not an increase — to the 0.17% Voters to decide on open space tax, broadband Ballot measures approved

Douglas County has under 100 people who are unhoused and hundreds more in precarious housing, but county leaders say community stigma has so far hindered efforts to provide year-round shelter locally. Concerns about safety and funding were reignited at the Aug. 11 meeting of the Douglas County Homelessness Initiative, where a plan to expand the existing winter shelter network hosted by a variety of churches to a year-round program faced resistance from public commenters.Onecommenter said she only supported helping the people who want help, but not with a shelter.

The questions, which will be placed on the Nov. 8 ballot, were both approved unanimously.

“I don’t want to see this beautiful area that we live in and we choose for this reason to have homeless to have drugs, to be downtown inﬁltrated,” the woman said. “We do not want to invite homeless into our area. I am very, very opposed to this.”Backlash to a proposed shelter exploded in June when residents shouted down a plan for the county to purchase 17 collapsible shelters and after a stabbing occurred in Castle Rock, where people alleged the perpetrator was homeless. Despite the perception, local ofﬁcials who spoke to Colorado Community Media said there is little evidence of unhoused people committing crimes locally, while studies

Jury ﬁnds mother guilty in kidnapping plot

Help identify suspects

On Aug. 26, a jury found Cynthia Lee Abcug, 53, guilty of conspiracy to commit second-degree kidnapping and child abuse. The investigation found Abcug subjected her son to medical child abuse, commonly known as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, and then plotted to kidnap him from the foster home where he was living after he was removed from her care in 2019.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce Cpt. Kevin Duffy said. “If they commit a crime, we’ll take action, but they’re people, they need help and we’re going to help them. … We need to break down some of the prejudice against the homeless.”

“The most important thing we need our community to understand is being homeless is not a crime. We are not going to treat the homeless like they’re criminals,”

Supportive services, including programs like Douglas County’s HEART, help people respond to warrants, get into substance use treatment or access mental health services. are often impactful in reducing arrests and increasing connections to services, Alderman said.“We’ve got models that show us when police go out with mental health providers or people trained in de-escalation that there are fewer arrests and more people get services, so I think that’s a critical component,” she said.

Still, Alderman recognizes there are gaps in the shelter system and barriers to shelters, such as rules about pets, curfews and a lack of privacy. When housing isn’t an immediate option, supportive services are still crucial.

Bozarth said unhoused people will sleep in Douglas County to avoid being victims of crime.

“We found a lot more people living in their cars than I thought we would,” Duffy said of the July count.Many unhoused people say they are not from Douglas County, but were there because of a lack of transportation or sweeps pushing them out of other cities. Per DCSO data collected on 152 contacts from January to June, only 6% of them were from the Douglas County area, with the remaining either coming from the Denver metro area or out of state.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce Deputy Tammy Bozarth, who is a law enforcement liaison with HEART, said she’s contacting one or two people who are unhoused on a daily basis, but rarely sees the same people more than once.

“When people don’t have a place to go, the longer they stay outside, the more likely they are to get further and further away from connecting with services,” she said.

Currently, Duffy said law enforcement can’t enforce camping bans or force people to move on without offering people shelter due to the threat of litigation, which is why conversations about the county’s response to homelessness have hinged on the need for a shelter in order to have proper code enforcement.Douglas County doesn’t have shelter resources to offer unhoused people, except the winter shelter network. Douglas County recently partnered with Arapahoe County to have a shelter option called the GOALS facility, but it’s only for a small number of families and hasn’t yet opened.

Alderman said the visibility of people who are unhoused contributes to them being more likely to be contacted by police and get arrested compared to people who are housed. She also noted that housing helps keep people from being

“By not having a safe place for people to go to get a warm meal, sleep in a bed and talk to somebody, we’re extending that likelihood that they’ll stay in homelessness.”Though much of the public response to the actions from the Douglas County Homelessness Initiative have been disapproving of proposals, some commenters urged the county to move forward despite the

victims.“Providing housing with supportive services is the most effective intervention for solving homelessness and reducing crime because if people are in housing they have a place to store food and belongings, they don’t need to go out and steal things,” she said. “They’re not going to be victims of sex trafﬁckers or drug dealers.” A 2021 study of Denver’s Social Impact Bond, found that providing housing led to a 40% reduction in arrests and a 27% reduction in total days in jail. People in the supportive housing program were less likely to be arrested for trespassing, drug use, drunkenness or other low-level crimes.

“Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, people say ‘OK, we’re out of here’ and they walk on,” he said. “Or we can give them a courtesyDuffyride.”said the department enforces trespassing if the property owner wants to press charges, but it rarely happens. From January to June, DCSO patrols responded to six calls of trespassing, four calls for disturbances and four calls for panhandling, which is not a crime.

“Our female homeless population are some of the most endangered, they’re very vulnerable,” he said. Though the county also has encampments of unhoused people, they are smaller and fewer than in Denver, Duffy said.

“Theunpopularity.electedofﬁcials have to make the tough decisions and say we need this in our community and vote to put it somewhere,” said a commenter at the Aug. 11 initiative meeting. “Whatever it takes, Douglas County needs to ﬁnd a way to provide a focus point, whether smaller scale at each church or larger scale at two or three points in the county, to provide services.”

Laydon reiterated that the intent of the Douglas County Homelessness Initiative is to reduce or eliminate homlessness, not to add to those numbers.

“We are in a resource desert down here when it comes to shelters,” Duffy said. “We can’t force people out (of an encampment) unless we have somewhere to take them and it has to be a shelter type environment and we don’t have any. So we can’t do any kind of a sweep.”Outside of Douglas County, studies show places that provide shelter see a decrease in crime and interactions between police and people who are unhoused.

With the introduction of HEART and potential for a faith-based shelter network, Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon is hopeful county efforts to incorporate community suggestions in its response will help chip away at the perceptions that have prevented action so far.

“I find a lot of people are coming down from Denver at night and sleeping in Douglas County because they don’t have to worry about being assaulted while they’re sleeping or their property being stolen,” she said. According to the July count, 26% of people had a disability and/or chronic health concerns, 20% of the unhoused people in Douglas County had mental health concerns and 15% were fleeing domesticTheviolence.topcalls the sheriff’s office received from January to June were about welfare checks, suspicious persons and unwanted subjects. In the majority of her interactions with unhoused people, Bozarth said she tries to connect them with resources they may need and moves people along from private property largely without issue.Duffy said most unhoused people are willing to comply if they can.

Of the more than 150 interactions DCSO has had with unhoused people this year, Duffy estimated fewer than a dozen ended with arrests, most of which were for outstanding warrants, not active crimes.Aspart of the Douglas County Homelessness Initiative’s efforts, a partnership between law enforcement ofﬁcers and social services navigators called the Homelessness Engagement, Assistance and Response Team or HEART has been handling calls about unhoused people or panhandling.

Cathy Alderman, communications and public policy director for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, said a recent study of the Denver Social Impact Bond, a housing subsidy and supportive services initiative started in 2016, shows that housing is a strong piece to reducing crime.

Ultimately, though, not having a shelter just prolongs problems associated with homelessness, Alderman said.

The biggest resource DCSO and HEART have been advocating for is more transportation, but shelter resources are a key piece so the jail isn’t a default shelter and code enforcement can actually happen.

people who don’t mind living on the street, but they have transportation issues,” Bozarth said.

A count done on July 25 by the county of its homeless population found 83 people unsheltered or living out of cars and 324 people living in temporary housing, such as couch hopping or a hotel. Another 147 people who are currently in jail or a health facility would otherwise be DCSO’shomeless.Duffysaid there is a growing number of women who are unhoused after ﬂeeing domestic violence and families or individuals couch hopping.

“The citizens have already accepted and appreciated the winter shelter network for over a decade,” Laydon said. “I think with their encouragement to continue to work with the faith-based community, we can potentially address the sheltering issue in a way that’s unique to Douglas County. No single community wants to bear the burden of a singular homeless shelter in their community. That’s a big ask.” The proposal would also address compassion, one of the homlessness initiative’s focus areas, by offering resources to anyone willing to take advantage, Laydon said, but also by allowing for code enforcement in Douglas County.“Ifthere are issues where crimes are being committed, substance abuse issues they don’t want to treat or mental health issues they aren’t interested in addressing, there has to be a community response that is also compassionate towards the businesses and citizens that live and work here,” Laydon said. “Compassion is not merely for those experiencing homelessness, but compassion for our whole community.”Without an approved shelter plan, the homelessness initiative will continue to lean on HEART navigators and ofﬁcers to provide the majority of the response to unhoused people.

voters Gilstrap has spoken with are mostly amenable to the proposed funding questions, which is estimated to cost $1 per week for each $100,000 of assessed property values or about $255 annually for a house valued at $500,000.

Douglas County School District is ramping up outreach and communication efforts on its bond and mill levy override funding questions going before voters in November. With plans for the school board to approve speciﬁc ballot language on Aug. 23, board members and community volunteers are stepping up communication on the district’s funding needs.

“There’simportant.alot of perception out there that if we start providing too many resources or doing too many nice things, then we’re going to (exaggerate) the problem and the homeless will start coming here to get our resources. But they’re already coming,” Duffy said.

Polling from the MBEC shows the school district has an uphill battle to get the ballot questions passed, with 39% of voters polled saying they would approve the funding. Kane, Gilstrap and others have said misconceptions around how school funding works, with many voters mistakenly believing that increased property values equates to greater school funding, is another huge challenge to overcome.

The approved language for the MLO commits the district to using the money on salaries and beneﬁts for all staff, including at charters. The board also unanimously approved a salary schedule, based on the MLO passing, to increase transparency about how the money would be Respondingspent.to public concerns about the money being used for any other purpose, such as vouchers, Superintendent Erin Kane emphasized that every dollar of the MLO is already dedicated under the proposed salary schedule.

“Whether you have ﬁve minutes or $5, I can use you,” Gilstrap said ofInvestvolunteers.inDCSD builds off the work started by Superintendent Erin Kane and the school board, which have been hosting town halls and presentations at various locations throughout the summer.

“We’ve been underfunded for a long time and the district is still providing a top-level education,” she said. “We’re doing a good job on very little, so what could we do if we were properly funded?”

Additionally, roughly 70% of voters don’t have children enrolled in DCSD schools. In a phone interview, board president Mike Peterson said he’s hoping to make the argument that the bond and mill levy override are an incredible value, not just for the schools and taxpayers, but also the overall community.

schedules up, the money is spent,” Kane said. “Unless you plan to do a 9% decrease for everyone across the board, there is no using this for something else down the road. … I can’t see a universe, I’m happy to say out loud, at all where you could possibly spend it on anything except what’s in this ballot question.”

Additionally, all of the board members spoke of ramping up efforts to educate the community and gain“I’msupporters.goingtotry and spend every day in between now and Election Day making sure our teachers don’t come to work the Wednesday after and have to have a really hard conversation about why this community doesn’t believe in them as educators,” board member Elizabeth Hanson said. Ballots will be mailed to voters on Oct. 17.

Along with these board actions, spending is limited by the ballot language of funding questions, as well as state laws on how school districts can use taxpayer money.

In an effort to address some voter concerns about trust, the school board plans to approve a salary schedule and bond plan that will detail spending on speciﬁc projects and investments. Another document will lay out the process for making potential spending changes.

Kane said. “Anything that goes outside of the district, (the Mill Bond Oversight Committee) can’t account for and you can’t account for.” With ofﬁcial approval of the ballot language, district staff will be prohibited from advocating for the bond or MLO under Colorado law, so the burden of gaining voter support will fall to the board and volunteers.Taxpayer impact for both the bond and MLO for residential property is $1 per week for $100,000 in assessed value. For a house valued at $500,000, the annual cost will be $255 and $1 million home would pay $410.An issue committee, called Invest in DCSD, has already formed and started collecting donations to support efforts to pass the funding.

“The future of Douglas Couny is sitting in our schools right now and by funding the schools and funding the staff who help them prepare for what’s next, we’re ultimately funding the county,” he said. Gilstrap said she also tries to help people envision what a better funded school district would look like to gain their support.

Bond, mill levy override questions approved by board

Gilstrap’s biggest concern is time with fewer than 90 days until the election.Withthat in mind, Invest in DCSD is recruiting as many people as possible, including school board members, to help spread the message to support the proposed funding.

The Douglas County School District will ofﬁcially go to voters in November for a $60 million mill levy override and a $450 million bond, with assurances that not a single dollar would be used for arming teachers or a voucher program. At the Aug. 23 school board meeting, the board unanimously approved ballot language for two funding questions, which would go toward staff compensation, building three new elementary schools and capital maintenance.

“If we can continue to model respect as a board, have conversations that are really focused on education and our mission and we provide nice, tight bond and mill language and hold true to that should the community pass it, those are great ways I think we can continue to build trust,” Peterson said.For her part, Gilstrap emphasizes the funding is not about politics, but addressing the underfunding from past years. Like the school board, Gilstrap has seen the community unify on the need for funding and is hoping that will result in success.“Nomatter how people feel on some of the other issues, this is largely something most people agree on,” she said. For more information about Invest in DCSD, go to investindcsd. com.

“Do I want to arm teachers? Absolutely not, I can’t think of a case. But if we can’t get the SROs, which would be my first option for increasing our security, we should think out of the box,” Peterson said, suggesting school safety officers as an option. Board member David Ray also noted the district’s current policy prohibits any staff from carrying weapons on campus except for exclusively employed security officers.Similar to the approved salary schedule, the district also released a plan for the $450 million bond, committing all of the funding to capital projects.Amajority of the money, $216 million, is for constructing three new elementary schools and expanding two middle schools. Around $139 million would be dedicated to maintaining existing buildings, $54.5 million would go to student programming, $15.5 million is for safety and security upgrades and $25 million for fees, contingency andAdditionally,managment.public comment from staff and families of Ascent Classical Academy, which left the Douglas County School District in 2019, asked that the school be included in distribution of the bond and MLO funding.

While Peterson and Kane said Ascent could always choose to return to Douglas County School District, the superintendent and all of the board members agreed that Ascent would not receive any of the bond or MLO funding because the district doesn’t have oversight of the“It’scharter.theseven of you who are accountable for this ballot language and for the money being spent consistent with this ballot language,”

Concerns about the $450 million bond centered around whether any of the $15.5 million dedicated to school safety would go to arming teachers. Kane answered those concerns with a detailed breakdown of what the money would be spent on, including window hardening, camera upgrades and alarm systems. Beyond that, every board member said they did not support arming teachers and only member Mike Peterson said he would consider arming staff outside of school resource ofﬁcers.

Everett started the Backpack Society — a Douglas County nonproﬁ t aiming to eradicate food insecurity in the area — out of her Highlands Ranch garage in September 2019. Months later, the organization partnered with ThunderRidge High School to roll out a pilot program for 20 students set to begin after spring break of 2020.But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March of that year and forced students to stay home from school, Everett realized food insecurity would grow dramatically as kids who once relied on school meals no longer had that option.

“People don’t realize that there’s a need, and I think these kiddos get overlooked quite often because of where they’re located,” Everett said. “Signing up for help is difﬁ cult. People are very hesitant, especially in our community.”

The county has had several meetings with the Douglas County Open Space Initiative, a citizen committee created to seek commissioners’ support for the extension, to discuss the matter.Theboard’s hearing room filled with supporters during the Aug. 23 special meeting to discuss the open space tax extension. Commissioners heard from several advocates of the question, including residents and representatives of county organizations such as the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust, the Douglas County Conservation Fund and the Douglas County Land Conservancy. Each of the county’s five municipalities also submitted letters of support for the ballot question.Whenthe question was approved by the commissioners, many in attendance applauded.

“We have very strong grassroots support,” said Micki Clark, president of the Douglas County Open Space Initiative. If approved in November, the ballot item will authorize intergovernmental agreements between the county and its municipalities for a 20% shareback from the funds. Lone Tree and Castle Pines would be new beneficiaries of the shareback. How much each municipality receives will be based on a population formula.

If approved, this ballot question would allow the county to opt out of that restriction. So far, about 140 municipalities and counties in the state have passed measures to override the law.

While some areas in the county already have access to highspeed internet, many rural areas do“Wenot.know that high-speed internet is the fourth utility,” Laydon said. “It’s also a significant traffic solution. If people don’t have to go to the Tech Center or another location along I-25 to get to their place of business, that alleviates our traffic corridor.”

extension.Advocates talked about how the extended tax would create benefits for things like trail systems, dog parks, wildlife habitats and land buffers. “South Douglas County is the jewel of I-25, all the way, I believe, from the Montana border to El Paso, Texas,” one resident said during the meeting. Broadband County residents will also get to vote on whether they think the county should have the option to help fund broadband services in the community. Broadband provides access to high-speed internet for residents.“Inthe modern world, the availability of broadband has become a necessity for quality of life and desirability of a community, providing residents with access to things like online education, telemedicine, remote working, social connections and home-based business and rural businesses,” said Holly Carrell, special projects manager for the county.In2005, the state legislature approved a bill that prohibited local government entities from dedicating public dollars to broadband without permission from voters.

Up to 28% of the funds would go to open space acquisitions and another 28% would go to the park funds. Up to 20% is set aside for the open space account, which pays for maintenance and operation of open space properties and trails. The county would use the final amount — 4% — on the historic resource account. Commissioners George Teal and Abe Laydon indicated they were in support of the measure in July. Commissioner Lora Thomas said she would not support the proposed 20-year extension and instead said she wished to see it sunset in 10 years. In a recent work session with the open space initiative, she said she would support the 15-year

The Town of Parker is on par to see stronger growth compared to last year, according to a presentation from staff during an Aug. 26 work session.

The county’s next clerk and recorder will be either Republican Sheri Davis or Democrat Karen Jefferson.Commissioner Abe Laydon, a Republican, will be defending his current seat against Democrat Kari Solberg.There will also be retention votes for county court judges Kolony Fields and Lawrence Bowling. In Colorado, county judges are appointed by the governor and then come up for retention votes. The judges don’t compete with each other, instead, voters mark if they want the justice to remain in ofﬁce for another term. County courts handle things like civil cases of less than $15,000, misdemeanor crimes, restraining orders and search warrants.Dave Gill, the incumbent Treasurer, is running uncontested for his seat. Raeann Brown is also running uncontested in the election to replace Jill Romann as coroner. Toby Damish, another sole candidate, will be the next assessor. Darrell Roberts is the sole candidate running for surveyor.

LOCAL A fter President Joe Biden announced the administration’s plan to cancel $10,000 to $20,000 of student debt for millions of Americans last week, I listened to debates, watched the Facebook comments and had some interesting conversations with my husband about what this all means. For me, it very well could lead to $10,000 off the student loans I still carry from getting my degree from Arizona State University. Sure, for a moment I thought that’s awesome. That is a huge amount that will make it possible for me to pay off the full loan way sooner than expected. However, that thought of instant gratiﬁcation faded when I really started looking at the big picture and realizing this is not as great as those pushing for this big payoff think. Even economists are questioning what it will mean to an already struggling economy. Will it make inﬂation worse? Will middle-class families be the ones paying the bill? A lot of questions started coming to mind. As the days and discussions continue, I cannot see this as anything more than a political stunt to buy votes ahead of the midterms. Let’s face it, Democrats appear to be learning from past mistakes and taking advantage of American’s short attention spans by stringing several PR victories together leading up to Election Day. It is not a bad strategy.

Bringing it all back full circle. Living and working with the attitude of abundance and in the spirit of true partnership, I was always able to call upon my friends in the industry, even my competitors, and talk openly about what we see happening in our industry.

If you happen to read this column regularly, you will recognize the name Zig Ziglar, as I quote him often. I became a fan of Zig’s long before I partnered with him to launch a business and then becoming a part of his organization from 1998 through 2010 in some capacity, eventually becoming the president of the company. When people ask me what that run was like, I always respond the same way: It was a tremendous experience and I was blessed to have worked alongside some incredible people within the organization, including Zig’s son Tom Ziglar, who is still the CEO today as well as one of my partners. As Mr. Ziglar retired, I joined the Sandler Training organization led by David Mattson. I had known David for several years as he was a partner in one of our businesses with Zig, so making the decision to join Sandler was an easy one. Again, I worked alongside some tremendously talented people at Sandler, and continued to learn so much more about the corporate training environment. Sandler has a vast network ﬁlled with men and women who are at the top of the list of corporate training professionals, speakers and coaches. Sandler’s global presence provided me with an opportunity to build upon and expand my international experience, learning so much more about the cultural nuances of the many different countries we served. Why am I sharing this? Having spent 12 years with the Ziglar organization and nearly 10 years with Sandler, I never lost touch with the people that I worked alongside at either organization. As a matter of fact, it went deeper than just staying connected, I was able to partner with Sandler while at Ziglar, and then partner with Ziglar while at Sandler. Several weeks ago, I wrote a column about the importance of not burning bridges, and instead looking for ways to stay connected for the beneﬁt of all parties. That lesson and the spirit of working cooperatively is demonstrated here.In2019 I branched out to launch my third start-up, a personal and professional development consulting organization. Ziglar and Sandler were both partners, as were several other of the leading training and development companies in the industry. I have so much respect for those companies and the work that they do and the difference they make in the lives of the people they teach, train, motivate and coach.

While $10,000 is going to be looked at as this wonderful gift from the government — my question is, what happens next?Think about it — a student who had a bunch of student loans they were paying off for the bachelor’s degree gets this gift applied to their loans. In some cases, the amount may even pay them off. What next? Does that person then go forward and get a master’s degree? Again, they will be signing the same loan documents they signed before.

This action taken by the Biden administration is nothing more than a small Band-Aid being applied to a hemorrhaging wound that requires immediate surgical attention.

You want to turn things around and make a difference as you claim? Then ﬁx what is broken.

However, the long game strategy of student loans just shows an administration and Congress as a whole that refuses to truly address, discuss and work to fix a broken system.Iwillhappily forgo the instant gratification the $10,000 would bring in the name of fixing the system to make it possible for my three children to enter college without the problems our students are facing today.

Second, I truly believe that there are little to no bad parents. Almost all parents love their kids and want what’s best for them. They may lack access to resources, not know how to love their kids in a healthy way or be misguided in what is truly best for them, but the desire and love is always there.

And so on and so forth until the author of this course got so exasperated with her advice not solving my problems that she exclaimed, “Well, then something’s wrong with him.”

When it comes to the parents I interact with, I will continue to believe that they are good people who don’t need me to tell them how to help their kids, they have that power in themselves. But what they could use is a listening ear and a vote of conﬁdence in their ability to ﬁgure it out.

And while some children are better at following the rules than others, that does not make them better or worse kids. It just makes them different.Ihavetwo kids who are professional rule followers and two who are professional rule breakers. Their genders and ages have nothing to do with it. The rule followers are 12 and 6 years old. One is a boy and one is a girl. The rule breakers are 11 and 9, both are boys. It’s just who they are. And there are pros and cons to each personality. The rule followers are excellent at trusting others’ instructions, they’re teachable and coachable. But they struggle trusting their own intuition and it’s hard to teach them whose rules to trust and when it is OK to not follow them at all. My rule breakers spend a lot of time learning and relearning the importance of the rules around them. But when given free rein, their creativity and leadership abilities astound me. The fact that I view one group as easier to parent than the other is my issue, not theirs. I am so wary of products or parents who claim that they know how to ﬁx someone else’s kid. First of all, viewing kids as an object to be ﬁxed is so damaging.

But when we live and work in a way where we can do great work together keeping our options open, we will most likely be able to come full circle, working, partnering, and changing lives alongside the people you love and trust. I would love to hear your story about coming full circle at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can keep ourselves, our employers and partners connected, it really will be a better than good life.

The Craft Box has many items for paper crafting, including stamps, die and more.

“At least they know it’s going to be loved,” she said.

SEE THRIFT, P17 LOCAL LIFE

The original Craft Box location was in Golden, and the store moved to Wheat Ridge ﬁve years ago. Items are donated to the store, and sometimes the store is able to purchase secondhand items from people. Employees want people to know these items are valued.

“People just needed an outlet,” BoxlerBoxlersaid.saw many new faces at the shop (behind their masks), with people picking up new skills like knitting and sending handmade cards to relatives in nursing homes.

Soul Dog Humane Society Thrift Store packs a big punch for a little store. BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE

hrift stores are more than just grandpa’s old shirts and the Goodwill store on the corner. Many shops around the metro area are bringing their own twist to secondhand stores.

Owner Liz Boxler had the idea for a secondhand craft store over 10 years ago when a friend passed away and left behind a mountain of craft supplies. She wanted to provide a place for the items to go where they would be appreciated.

“I think it was good for us during COVID,” she said. “Not necessarily a huge spike in sales but more of an interest.”Boxlerhopes to continue to see this interest in crafts, and looks forward to new customers.

“Our goal was deﬁnitely to keep things from going into the landﬁll,” Boxler said.

“I hope the Craft Box is a place for people to be inspired and heal,” she said.The shop is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. It is closed Sundays. For more information, visit craftboxcolorado.com.

At the Craft Box, Boxler said, the No. 1 selling item is fabric, followed by yarn, though the store does see a great deal of paper crafters coming in for supplies. During the beginning of the pandemic, the shop saw an uptick in fabric sales for those sewing masks. As with many other craft stores, the Craft Box could not keep elastic on its shelves during this time. However, masks were not the only thing people were making during the lockdown.

Not only does the store provide a second home for craft supplies, but it also provides a low-cost opportunity for those looking to start projects without breaking the bank. Supplies like fabric, yarn, stamps and more can get expensive when purchased new.The store also has a mission to sponsor charities and groups in the community. One ongoing project the store features is the “ﬁdget quilt” for people with Alzheimer’s and sementia, where crafters can take a kit with supplies to create a quilt with tactile stimuli on it to bring back to the store to donate, or to give to someone they know who would beneﬁt.Thestore also uses its unsellable fabric to make reusable tote bags for people to use at the local food bank.

The Craft Box, Wheat Ridge The Craft Box, located at 6141 W 44th Ave. in Wheat Ridge, is the “premier thrift store for crafters,” according to staff.

The News-Press 17September 1, 2022

“Our mission is to help our friends in the community,” said Kimberleigh Anders, who has been volunteering for two years. The store keeps prices low — $2 for most clothing items, many marked down to 50 cents. It has a good amount of pet supplies that are donated new from pet stores.

One of the owners and founders, Nick Reichert, explained that couches and furniture items are often curated for people’s personal aesthetics and end up getting thrown out when they redecorate.

The thrift store in Englewood is run by about 10 volunteers. Not only does the store support the mission of Soul Dog, it also strives to support the local people.

The company has some parameters, though. It will charge for pickups outside of the 25-mile radius of its warehouse and also charge for damaged or patterned furniture. More informa-

The Good Couch will pick up most old couches for free, and the staff refurbishes them and sell the furniture for a low price.

The Good Couch is located at 425 W 115th Ave. in Northglenn. What started in 2017 as a group of guys flipping couches from Craigslist turned into a business with sustainability at its core.

Not only does The Good Couch believe in helping the environment, but the business also works to help the community. The company partners with Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and helps to donate furniture to the coalition as needed. The founders always hoped they could pair up with a local nonprofit group, Reichert said. Working with the community and giving back is the ultimate goal, Reichert said.

An employee at The Good Couch works on cleaning one of the couches.

So far, the company has donated $17,930 to the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, and also helped furnish an affordable housing During the early days of the pandemic, The Good Couch had to pause business, but overall the company saw growth. “During the pandemic, we grew by like 50%,” Reichert said.

Three of the volunteers at Soul Dog laugh as they work alongside each other.

The shop, which has been in the community for 10 years now, has become a landmark of the community, attracting a regular customer base.

The group’s thrift store helps to fund the travel costs for the program, and other donations offset the costs of medications, supplies and operation of clinics.

“They’re such a large item and so personal to your decor,” he said. “A lot of trash ends up in the landfill, and furniture especially.”

Soul Dog has a low-cost clinic in Fort Lupton for spaying/neutering, vaccination and microchipping. It also offers rotating vaccine clinics on tribal lands on a bimonthly basis.

The thrift store is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and is closed on Sunday and Monday. Information about the store can be found at www.souldog.org/thriftstore or on its Facebook page, “Soul Dog Rescue & Humane Society Thrift Store.”

Soul Dog Humane Society Thrift Store is located at 4725 S. Broadway in Englewood. The small shop boasts consistently low prices for clothing, housewares, pet products and more.

The store gets more than just the regular clothing and knickknacks, however. One of the most bizarre donations was a “dog zipline kit,” which apparently sold very quickly.

Reichert attributed the uptick in business to the number of people moving, downsizing and generally trying to save money on furniture.TheGood Couch is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays.

Unlike junk removal services, The Good Couch won’t throw it into the landfill. Even the damaged couches are used for The group gets about eight to 10 donated couches a day and sells around six a day. All the local furniture stores now recommend the group’s services for people buying new furniture who need a way to dispose of the old items.

The volunteers at the store describe the place as “a little gem,” and say that people are consistently delighted to discover them. The store shut down for a few months during the pandemic, but now sees regular customers and a number of people buying clothing to send home to other countries or to bring to the Native American reservations.

Soul Dog is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the protection and spaying/neutering of animals. The group travels to rural areas on Native American reservations to spay and neuter pets at no cost to the public.

“Most of our clientele are regulars,” said Wendy Roth, who has been volunteering for two years.

O ne of the great things about public art is that it serves so many purposes — just as easily as it adds beauty to a community, it can also become a landmark, a location for people to orient their lives around. And Thornton’s latest public art piece aims to become a waypoint for both residents and travelers alike due to both its size and location.

The work’s location on one of the state’s major highways will not only provide plenty of eyes, but also an opportunity for those doing something as routine as driving to or from work the opportunity to be transported by the power of art. “It’s a gift to take something different and futuristic and put it where people can see it. It can be a shock visually, but over time it can deﬁne a place and give residents a sense of pride,” Leathers said. “These kinds of pieces start out as landmarks, but become what a place is known for.”

The display runs at the museum, 1340 Pennsylvania St. in Denver, through Sunday, Sept. 25, and marks 110 years since the loss of the vessel. Visitors will peruse rare Titanic artifacts and never-before-seen family documents. Learn more about the exhibit at org/titanic/.https://mollybrown.

Portland, Oregon, artist Volkan Alkanoglu has created a 34-foottall contemporary art sculpture for the city and when it is installed this fall, it will be the largest 3-D printed sculpture of its kind in the United States and the second largest in the world, according to provided information. Its home will be on the median at East 136th Avenue between I-25 and Lincoln Street.“Thornton is really interested in becoming a beacon for more contemporary public art and a place that adds art that is a little less traditional,” said Hannah Leathers, Thornton public art coordinator. “This work has bright colors and a very futuristic look. It has a technological and scientiﬁc look, but is also beautiful in the way it mimics the Rocky Mountain sunset.”

Alkanoglu has worked in the state before and the way he embraces STEM principles in his creations made it uniquely appealing, as did the fact that it’s made of carbon ﬁber, which should withstand all the Colorado climate can throw at it. “When I proposed this sculpture for Thornton, I wanted to design something that would complement the extraordinary backdrop of the Colorado sky and Rocky Mountains complete with its purples, blues and warm colors,” he said in a provided statement. “The site was chosen as a gateway for Thornton with the sculpture signaling a city on the move.”

The colorful, versatile Peking Acrobats are scheduled to perform on Feb. 10 and are really amazing to watch for audiences of all ages. Nimble, fearless, graceful, at times funny, they offer a versatile program that ranges from extreme athleticism to beautiful “almost dance” and a number of points in between. Families will enjoy a traditional Chinese art form. Lone Tree calls it “a Chinese Carnival,” describing “a precarious pagoda of chairs, trick cycling, precision tumbling, somersaulting and gymnastics. They defy gravity with amazing displays of contortion, flexibility and control.”

Center Presents: Songs We Love” (Feb. 8), for example. Area families may want to check through the listings, with a 2023 calendar in hand at some point soon. (Those calendars have started arriving at this address, so I’m guessing readers have several by now as well ...)

Shifting to the theatrical: the very funny Reduced Shakespeare Company presents “The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged)” on April 22. There are several listings almost every week in the new year and we’d guess that more will be booked — including additional programs for children..The Denver-based Mary Louise Lee Orchestra will present a “Tribute to Natalie Cole” on April 21 and Tiempo Libre is scheduled to appear on May 6. An occasional visit to the Lone Tree Arts Center’s website will bring up many more choices for the busy upcoming season.

More than a month has passed since Colorado Community Media requested release of body camera footage from Englewood police ofﬁcers involved in a July 24 shooting that left one unarmed man dead. Matthew Neal Mitchell, 22, was shot and killed as police engaged in a shootout with his brother — 29-year-old Phillip L. Blankenship — who was arrested at the scene and charged July 29 with attempted ﬁrst-degree murder. In an Aug. 5 ruling, Arapahoe County Court Judge Kelly Ann Lafave sided with Blankenship’s defense team, which requested the footage not be publicly released.

Body cam footage still not released in police shooting

“This motion is predicated on Mr. Blankenship’s state and federal constitutional rights to due process, and a fair and impartial trial by a fair and impartial jury,” wrote Megan A. Ring, a Colorado state public defender.EricRoss, spokesperson for the 18th Judicial District — which is investigating the July 24 shooting — said the footage “will likely be part of the trial, so after it physically airs in a courtroom, there’s less of an argument to continue the ‘blocking’ of its release.” A trial date has not been set, Ross said, but Blankenship is scheduled

Englewood Police Chief Sam Watson, in a recorded statement July 28, said “footage will be released as the investigation allows” and will show “the extreme risk that the ofﬁcers and community faced in this event.”

According to the affidavit, police began firing back and Blankenship’s brother — who was barricaded inside a bedroom with Blakenship —suffered a fatal gunshot wound. Blankenship then exited the house and was arrested, the affidavit says. He later told investigators he was the only person shooting at officers and that his brother did not fire a single shot.

Ross said the judge’s ruling does not mean footage “won’t ever be released or available” but that it’s “temporarily blocked from release right now.”

The Englewood Police Department and other city officials have since been blocked from speaking publically about the shooting after an Arapahoe County judge issued a gag order July According29.to a police affidavit of the incident, officers were sent to investigate a call at a home at 5007 S. Grove St. in southwest Englewood at about 7:39 p.m. July 24. Blankenship’s mother, Kimberly Mitchell, called police because her son was intoxicated and causing a disturbance. She told officers her son was suicidal and shot a gun inside the home. After officers arrived, they made “loud commands” for Blankenship to exit the home, the affidavit says, before Blankenship began firing shots at officers from the home.

Jeff Roberts, executive director for the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, said withholding the footage, at least until a trial, is “the closest thing to not releasing it.”

There’s still a tremendous public interest in body cam footage when there’s a police shooting,” Roberts said. “In situations like this, you want to get as close to the truth of what happened, and the body cam footage is a vital record for that.”

Judge orders hold

The City of Denver has seen many incarnations, each carrying over into its next.

Today, only about two miles of the ditch are still open and visible, mostly throughout the cities of Littleton and Englewood. But much of it could soon be enclosed as the City of Englewood plans for a new piping project intended to modernize its drinking water infrastructure.

MKT-P0253

Crabtree, the Historic Englewood president, said his group has had conversations with Ry and other city staff about reaching a consensus on the ditch’s future, though he said the group “hasn’t gotten answers” to all its questions.

“I can’t think of anything older,” NoelBorgersaid.said he wants to see Englewood explore alternative options to enclosing the ditch, such as piping that would run alongside the ditch as well as more historic signage near its open areas. And he wants Littleton to take “an active interest in that Littletonproject.”Public Works Director Keith Reester could not be reached for comment, but an agreement signed by both cities in 2013 affirms ownership and oversight of the ditch by the City of Englewood, which is currently enlisting a firm to help with preliminary design for the project, Ry said. The project is not expected to be completed until late 2023 or early 2024, according to Ry, who said an alternate plan, such as an adjacent pipe, could be more costly than piping and covering what has already beenStill,dug.Ry said he anticipates room for discussion with the historic groups as the city moves forward with its plans. In a July request made to engineering firms, the city said any proposal should include “plans for public engagement and solicitation of feedback on piping plans.”

Along with farming and agriculture, the ditch’s irrigation water brought greenery and shade from trees, Noel said. He agreed with Louisa Ward Arps, a celebrated state historian who died in 1986, who called the ditch “the oldest working thing in Denver.”

Primarily constructed between 1864 and 1867, the roughly 4-footdeep ditch brought irrigation to the semi-arid desert landscape of Denver where as many as 150,000 people ﬂocked for gold just years before.

“The ditch is one of the primary water supply convenience systems to the City of Englewood,” said Pieter Van Ry, director of City of Englewood Utilities and South Platte Renew — the state’s thirdlargest wastewater center.

Ry said the project will help protect the water from contamination from street runoff, allow the ditch to be used for supply year-round and “provide a better product to our customers.”Still,Ryhas heard from historic preservation groups about concerns with covering the ditch, though portions of it will be left open past the treatment plant, he said. “I can understand that there’s a historic value to this infrastructure and it’s a current day water supply system … so it’s balancing those two things,” Ry said.

As a main source of drinking water for more than 30,000 people, Ry said there are numerous beneﬁts to enclosing the open sections of the ditch, which runs water into the Charles Allen Water Treatment Plant in Englewood.

“In many cases, (metro areas) wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for that engineering marvel,” said Matt Crabtree, president of Historic Englewood, Inc.

Larry Borger, a member of Historic Littleton, Inc., said keeping the ditch open in Littleton and Englewood will serve not just as a form of living history but an educational tool as “Futurewell.generations need to know how Denver was built, how Littleton was built,” he said.

Among them were farmers in need of fertile land to grow food for the mining community, while others were entrepreneurs at the forefront of Colorado’s economic territorialization.Theyincluded

William Byers, founder and editor of the Rocky Mountain News, whose company — Capitol Hydraulic — began digging the ditch in 1861, work that was eventually halted by the Civil War and would not be resumed for three years.After the company reconsolidated, it hired New Hampshire surveyor Richard Little who was eager to make a name out west. Little, who would go on to lay the groundwork for the namesake City of Littleton, took over as the ditch project’s general manager. A wealth of history followed and with the ditch’s completion in 1867, Denver became an “oasis city in the great American desert,” said Colorado historian Tom Noel.

“We’re hoping we can come to some sort of compromise with the city that can be good with the residents of the city from a water supply standpoint and protect some portions of the City Ditch that are in both Englewood and Littleton,” Crabtree said. “It is not our intent to stop anything from an innovation standpoint.”Buthehopes some preservation of the ditch is still on the table.

What to do with the ‘oldest working thing’ in Denver?

“Denver and Littleton and Englewood have a rich history, it’s important to remember our past,” he said.

Group looks to protect ditch

The City Ditch, an irrigation waterway that begins in what is now present-day Chatfield Reservoir, is by some historians’ accounts the “oldest working thing” in the modern metro Originallyarea.running 26 miles towards the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek tributary, near what is now Capital Hill, the ditch weaves throughout several suburban centers and is considered pivotal in Denver’s ability to flourish as a Western American city.

From mining town to bustling urban center of the high plains, the metropolitan area has transformed in its roughly 160 years as a city, with an expanding web of suburban communities creating a mosaic of character. But as the break-neck pace of growth continues to manifest in new businesses, towering buildings and expanding tourism, the instrument responsible for Denver’s present day-successes goes largely unnoticed.

Pondo takes 4-3 softball win over Discovery Canyon

Ponderosa starting pitcher Olivia Trombley gave up three runs in the ﬁrst inning but shutout Discovery Canyon the rest of the game in the Mustangs 4-3, eight-inning victory on Aug. 23.

The win was the third straight for the Mustangs to open the season prior to the Mustang Stampede tournament.Martinezis hitting .429 with seven runs batted in after three games and has been a spark plug for Pondo. “Jasi is something else,” said Pondo coach Mark Roberts. “She’s a leader. She was a move in from Virginia this year. That was a nice surprise.“Hersister (senior first baseman Lexi) played for me her freshman year and they had military and went back to Virginia and then moved back here this summer. I didn’t know anything about the shortstop. She’s pretty good. Let’s just say it didn’t take long to get her on the team.”Jasidoubled in the fifth inning and led off the bottom of the seventh with a double. She scored the tying run on Ellie Williams’ single, which sent the game into an extra inning.Withone out and runners on first and second in the bottom of the eighth, Jasi smashed a hit down the third base line to drive home Delaney Wright with the winning run. “I was just trying to stay positive,” said Jasi. “I had it in my head, that it is just a game and have fun. “I knew we could do better but when we come back in the end that is important. I feel this year we have a way better chemistry on the team and we’re all like playing together. Whenever we get down we feel we can come Ponderosaback.”starting pitcher Olivia Trombley gave up three runs in the first inning but blanked the Thunder the remainder of the game. Merceadez Tayoya drove in two Pondo runs in the bottom of the first and the score remained at 3-2 until the bottom of the seventh when the Mustangs tied the game.

Junior shortstop gets three hits to help lead way

Ponderosa junior shortstop Jasi Martinez throws to ﬁrst base to complete an out in the Aug. 23 game against Discovery Canyon. Martinez had the walk-o hit in the bottom of the eighth inning in the Mustangs’ 4-3 victory.

Jasi Martinez moved from Virginia to Ponderosa High School during the summer and she has been a welcomed addition to the Mustangs’ girls softball team. The junior shortshop had three hits, including a walk-off single, to lead Ponderosa to a 4-3, eight-inning victory over Discovery Canyon in a game played Aug. 23 at Ponderosa.

Ponderosa has been a 4A school playing in the 5A Continental League. The Mustangs are in the Continental League again but this year has to qualify for the 5A state playoffs instead of the 4A postseason.“We’re excited,” said Roberts. “We feel like we can play with anybody. We love our league because it is so tough. This is a pretty experienced team we have. Last year we were 23-4 and we have most of them back and the kids from Virginia coming in. “I think we’re going to be a good ball club. We’ll be competitive in our games. I told them what I liked about the Discovery Canyon game is they didn’t quit. It’s good when they have that kind of energy and don’t die and just go out and keep battling.”

“It provides individuals path ways to digniﬁed, living wage ca reers,” Garcia said. “That’s what will move Colorado forward.”

Solution

During the press conference, Po lis was joined by Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, administrators from the Colorado Community College System (CCCS), students who will beneﬁt from the program and community members from Arapa hoe Community College (ACC). The initiative stems from bipar tisan legislation signed in May, co-sponsored by state Senators Sonya Jaquez Lewis and Bob Rankin, along with State Rep. Kyle Mullica, in the form of Senate Bill 226. The bill was implemented to channel more funding to the development of healthcare educa tion to guide Coloradans towards in-demand and well-paying health care“(Thesecareers.jobs) pay good, and often, students have opportunities to move into management in these different ﬁelds,” Polis said. ”We will only increase our healthcare needs as our population grows older, and we want to make sure we have the caregivers and people with the right training to take care of everybody.”

George Villalobos, an ACC stu dent ﬁnishing his emergency med ical technician certiﬁcate, said without the program he would be “freaking out” about how to cover the cost of his education.

“I, like so many of my peers, want to give back to my communi ty as a healthcare worker,” Villalo bos said. “I was beyond thrilled to learn that my training costs would be covered through the Care For ward Colorado program. It makes a high-quality training, like the one I’m receiving at ACC, acces sible to everyone.”

State to o er free education to aspiring healthcare workers

Care Forward Colorado is one of the 100 ways the Polis administra tion has said it has aimed to save Coloradans money, a target intro duced during Polis’ 2022 State of the State Address in June.

Student tuition, fees covered

“So we’re encouraging students to get started with these entry-level positions and to take advantage to earn a credential in their (chosen) healthcare profession for free.”

Dr. Angie Paccione, executive director of the Colorado De partment of Higher Education, believes the program will sufﬁ ciently match the demand for such careers.“LastI checked, there were like 27,000 openings for certiﬁed nursing assistants (CNAs) in the state,” said Paccione, who was appointed to her position by Polis.

CCCS Chancellor Joe Garcia said such a program is “unprec edented” in Colorado and will cover all of students’ costs, not just their tuition, including fees and course materials.

Under the Care Forward Colora do program, students can pursue careers as a CNA, emergency room technician, phlebotomy technician, medical assistant and dentalStudentsassistant.whoenroll in these and related programs at community colleges under the CCCS um brella — including ACC, Commu nity College of Denver and Front Range Community College — will be reimbursed for their expenses through 2024. Non-traditional students, including those who are in their mid-careers or who are looking to change ﬁelds entirely to healthcare, are also eligible.
