Families sue Douglas County schools over bias response

DA Kellner, Sheri Weekly host town hall in Highlands Ranch

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

District Attorney John Kellner, of the 18th Judicial District, and Douglas County Sheri Darren Weekly sat down with Highlands Ranch residents recently to provide updates on what’s happening in and outside of the court, crime and legislature.

Discussion started with how the 18th Judicial District will soon be split into two with the formation of the 23rd Judicial District in November 2024.

e new judicial district will encompass Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties as the 18th Judicial District.

Implementation of HB20-1026 will result in the 18th Judicial District, which currently includes Arapahoe County and Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

Legal filing alleges discrimination, inaction

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ree families are suing the Douglas County School District over its response to a pattern of what is being described as racial abuse at Castle Rock Middle School and Douglas County High School.

Filed Aug. 2 in the U.S. District Court for Colorado, the complaint alleges numerous students and sta at the schools targeted four Black or biracial students with harassment, racial slurs and threats, depriving them of equal access to education.

Parents of the students led the complaint. e complaint describes experiences of the children of Lacey Ganzy, Jon and Misty Martin, and Nadarian and Alexis Clark. It lists Douglas County School District, the school board and Castle Rock

Middle School Principal John Viet as defendants.

e children are not named in the lawsuit to protect their privacy.

e complaint argues that the racial harassment of the students is a consequence of a district culture that doesn’t value educational equity, speci cally alleging School Board President Mike Peterson and board members Kaylee Winegar, Becky Myers and Christy Williams

Larkspur hires outside company to evaluate proposed truck stop o I-25

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Larkspur has hired an engineering company to act as the arm of the town that will evaluate the proposal for a new truck stop, a potential project that has drawn opposition from area residents.

An online petition started on April 5 on Change.org — titled “Stop the Truck Stop in Larkspur, CO” — garnered 1,772 signatures as of Aug. 4.

A description on the petition argues there is “inadequate infrastructure to support the dramatic increase in tra c that will be created from the regular in ux of 80’ long vehicles” entering the truck stop.

Most of that high a total of petition signatures could not have come from residents in Larkspur, a small town of about 200 residents south of Castle Rock. It’s possible that some number of people who signed the petition live in the broader area.

One comment on the petition from a user named Donna Baiocco said: “I’m concerned about the terrible pollution that this would bring into and around our homes.”

Another comment, from user Jo-

seph Ramelo, said: “I don’t even live there but I think it’s a terrible idea as well. I was raised on the east coast where there are truck and rest stops galore.”

Asked for comment on the petition, the town said in a statement: “ e town appreciates the input of Larkspur residents and the greater 80118 community.”

the way of its approval.

Still, the proposal has run into a procedural quirk: Larkspur doesn’t have the sta to plan out development like a large city would, the town’s attorney noted during an April 6 town council meeting. e town doesn’t have an o cial who can evaluate the developer’s design plan.

“What your (town) code says is the town planner shall approve or deny the site plan,” Dan Krob, who provides attorney services to the town, said at the April 6 meeting. “We don’t have a town planner.”

Larkspur Town Council voted to hire Baseline Engineering — a company based in Golden — as the town planner for the truck stop project at a June 1 meeting.

Town’s process

e truck stop would sit at 255 Upper Lake Gulch Road, just west of Interstate 25. e town council already voted to change the property’s zoning — the rules for what can be built on it — from “PUD,” or planned unit development, to commercial in July last year after public hearings in front of the planning commission and the council. (A PUD typically denotes a special type of zoning for an area.)

In the past, on smaller projects, the lack of a planner hasn’t come into play, Krob has said.

“So we have historically forgone the planner, used the planning commission and their expertise to give a recommendation to council for the decision,” Krob said at the April 6 meeting. A planning commission is a group of residents who are appointed to advise council on development matters.

But the land that would house the proposed truck stop has commercial zoning, and town rules say any commercial development has to include a site plan, according to Krob. A site plan lays out the proposed changes to a property.

e town planner’s job is to look at the town code and determine whether the project meets the code,

Heather Yanda, the town clerk, told Colorado Community Media. e timeline for when the planner will make a decision is unclear because the project is still in what’s called the “referral review” process, where outside entities provide input on the project. ose referral agencies include the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Union Paci c Railroad, Colorado Parks and Wildlife and others, Yanda said.

“I know that Baseline and the developer were meeting either today or tomorrow to have a preliminary discussion,” Yanda said on Aug. 3. e planner, not the town council, approves or denies the site plan as long as the development is a “use by right” situation, meaning the developer’s right to build on the land doesn’t require higher scrutiny.

But if it’s a “use by special review” situation, the plan is in “the discretion” of the council, Krob has said.

Whether the project may fall under special review is a determination that the planner should make, Krob has said, based on the planner’s ability to interpret the town’s rules.

“Our code does not speci cally address a travel center or truck stop under use by special review or use by right,” Yanda said.

If the site plan is initially not in compliance with the town’s code, the developer could ask for variances — or exemptions — for certain aspects of the plan, Yanda said.

Finding a planner e town also brought in Sam Doyle, who said he’s a former president of a nancial rm called D.A. Davidson, to help in the process of nding a planner.

“We were one of the big underwriters” of metro districts “in the whole state,” Doyle has told the council.

(Metro districts are a type of government entity that carries out some government functions, such as the Highlands Ranch Metro District that oversees some services in that community.)

e council had voted 6-1 to appoint Doyle to “interview and vet” potential planners, with council representation in the interview process, to make a recommendation to council.

Ultimately, Doyle and others provided comments on the RFP the town sent to potential planners, Yanda said. (An RFP, or request for proposal, is a document that announces a project and asks for applications from those who want to carry out the work.)

“Sam did not interview or vet potential planners. e town council made the decision to hire Baseline from a handful of potential candidates,” Yanda said.

Thomas opposes water board formation, process

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With Douglas County’s population expected to keep growing — and many homes relying on a limited supply of water from underground aquifers — the question of how to shore up water supply in the county hangs over the area’s water providers.

Now, the county government wants to get more involved in addressing that question. But one of the county’s three elected leaders doesn’t support going down that path.

However, with two voices outweighing the dissenter, the county has put out a call for Douglas County residents to apply to serve on a new entity called the county Water Commission. at body is expected to create a plan regarding water supply and conservation, among other aspects of water in the county.

When Commissioner Abe Laydon voiced support for creating a water commission, his colleague, George Teal, agreed.

“ e people of Douglas County do care about water resources, and they want their county commissioners involved,” Teal told Colo-

rado Community Media.

Commissioner Lora omas opposes forming a water commission, calling it “totally unnecessary, a waste of time and e ort and money.”

“You don’t do a water commission that’s going to be no cost,” omas said.

e forming of the new body

comes against the backdrop of a controversial proposal to pump about 22,000 acre-feet of water per year to Douglas County from the San Luis Valley, a region of Southern Colorado. (An acre-foot is the equivalent of a one-foot-deep pool about the size of a football eld.)

Renewable Water Resources is the private company that proposed the

project.

Last year, Laydon joined omas in deciding not to move forward with that project while Teal continues to support it.

“Everything’s on the table as far as I’m concerned,” Teal said in early August. “We get another ve or six years of rainy summers, OK, maybe then we can start to be picky and choosy.”

Still opposing the Renewable Water Resources project, omas expressed concern that the county’s formation of a water commission is “another swing at that ball.”

Asked whether any representatives of RWR have spoken with county o cials about the water commission, Teal said: “I think I did see that Sean Tonner, he’s one of the principals of RWR … has put in an application to be on the water commission.”

Teal said he has been friends with Tonner for 20 years.

“We are very likely to drink beer together and have a social visit. He may bring it up,” Teal said. “But otherwise, that hasn’t happened yet.”

Teal said he hasn’t seen the application itself.

convicted at trial when the jury returned the verdict of vehicular homicide, vehicle assault and a child abuse charge as the defendant’s child was in the back seat when the incident took place and she ed the scene.

Another case involving vehicular homicide is People v. Ricky AvalosTrujillo.

Last year, four teenagers from Castle View High School were struck head on by Avalos-Trujilo. Two of the students were killed and two sustained serious injuries.

Avalos-Trujilo has been sentenced to 31 years for multiple counts of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and careless driving.

Weekly said the department takes tra c enforcement very seriously.

e Douglas County Sheri ’s Ofce has a separate tra c unit that requires additional training and when Weekly became sheri , he increased the number of tra c o cers.

Currently, Douglas County’s DUI arrests are up 59% this year from the previous year, said Weekly.  “ at’s good and bad,” said Weekly. “Good because we’re catching these folks but bad because our DUI arrests are up and people are still drinking and driving.”

Another high pro le case in the county is the People v. Casey Devol.

Devol has pleaded guilty to killing his sister and her boyfriend last year.

Weekly said it’s important for the community to know whenever there is a homicide case, detectives are working around the clock with the victim in mind.

“You only get one chance to do it right the rst time,” said Weekly. “So we are very thorough and methodical in what we do.”

Transparency in numbers

e 18th Judicial District has a data dashboard available to the public to look at trends in cases led and

resolved over time.

As part of that transparency, Kellner spoke about the Time to Felony Case Resolution. During COVID-19, the average number of days started spiking, elevated more in 2022 and now it is starting to go down and has reduced the average by 33 days.

“ e backlog of cases from slowing down and shutting down in the courts in some respects is still there for us,” said Kellner.

e county currently has zero failure to appear in court, said Kellner. Just one failure to appear doubles the time to resolve a case.

To help encourage people to appear in court, Senate Bill 22-018 Court Reminder Program went into e ect last year. For misdemeanors and felonies, the bill allows for a program where they get three reminders that their court date is coming up.

About 50% of those prosecuted do not have addresses in the 18th Judicial District, said Kellner, which means crimes are committed by outside residents looking for easy targets.

Douglas County is low hanging fruit, said Weekly as people tend to leave their garage doors open and keys in their cars.

“A lot of people come down here to commit crimes because there’s good stu down here,” said Weekly. “People are vulnerable and they don’t realize it.”

However, motor vehicle theft for the rst six months of this year is down 15% in the county, said Weekly.

Weekly testi ed in favor of Senate Bill 23-097 Motor Vehicle eft and Unauthorized Use.

It removes value as a threshold for the crime, said Kellner, and takes into consideration whether the individual knew they were in a stolen vehicle or reasonably should have known the vehicle was stolen as stolen vehicles can be passed along to people.

All of these motor vehicle thefts are all felonies now with a few exceptions.

“Motor vehicle theft is the nexus for most crimes committed,” said

Weekly. “When people come down here to commit crimes, they are typically in a stolen vehicle.”

Another issue raised by those attending the meeting was reworks. Weekly called this year an anomaly as di erent factors played into the situation, such as there not being a re ban.

e department strives to use voluntary compliance so they do not clog up the court system, said Weekly.

is year, deputies were down 71 calls for service, which means there’s a call on the screen that they need to respond to that didn’t have a cop available at the time. ey had to prioritize calls.

Weekly plans to be more proactive next year and start writing tickets.

“I’m not minimizing the problem at all,” said Weekly. “I assure you as sheri , next Fourth of July, we’re probably going to work things a little bit di erently. I’m not saying we’re gonna charge every single person but we are going to hold people accountable.”

As fall comes into view, Weekly said the sheri ’s o ce is also preparing for a new school year. Weekly said they held active threat training with school resource o cers and are having more conversations about how to increase deputy presence on campus.

“We are better prepared in Douglas County than in other places around our state,” said Weekly.  Agency relationships

Kellner and Weekly agreed that relationships outside of Douglas County and the 18th Judicial District are important in identifying trends in major crimes, gangs, drugs and more.

Douglas County is part of the e Regional Anti-Violence Enforcement Network, a multi-jurisdictional regional network of task force o cers and federal partners focusing on violent crimes, gangs and drug trafckers.

Among the 16 agencies included are the United States Attorney’s Ofce District of Colorado, Homeland Security Investigations, Colorado Air National Guard and multiple police agencies.

“We have great relationships with our federal law enforcement partners,” said Weekly. “ ey o er us a great deal of resources that we would not normally have and I’ve got a lot of those resources at my ngertips.”

As o cer-involved shootings have received more national and local scrutiny over the last few years, Kellner and Weekly talked about the importance of transparency in following state laws where an independent third-party agency investigates the details of the shooting.

Kellner said the 18th Judicial District has created a Critical Incident Response Team to investigate whether o cers are justi ed in their use of force.

COURTESY 18TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

omas said her understanding is that county sta are treating information about who has applied as a non-public matter and will not release information until nalists are chosen.

Makeup of commission

ose who join the water commission may include local elected ofcials, those with experience on water district or metro district boards; others with management oversight or with a professional background in water; and a representative who can serve as the “voice of rural Douglas County,” the county said in a news release.

Metro districts are a type of government entity that carries out some government functions, such as the Highlands Ranch Metro District that oversees some services in that community.

e county’s water commission will commence in the third quarter of this year and meet six to eight times during the rst 12 months with the focus of developing a Douglas County Water Plan.

Applicants must be Douglas County residents, and the county asked for applications by close of business Aug. 11.

e county envisions that the water commission will integrate existing water provider plans into the Douglas County Water Plan.

Di erent proposals

Teal favored the idea of assembling a commission of residents that could determine the appropriate steps to take for the future of the county’s water supply.

e water commission would digest information and make recommendations to the overall board of county commissioners, Teal said.

e county commissioners are Douglas County’s elected leaders, above the county’s other “commissions” that deal with certain topics of policy.

It’s better to have input from others “rather than (have it be) something that just Abe and I would do,” Teal said.

Asked whether the county’s formation of a water commission is a way to eventually gain more momentum and support behind the RWR plan, Teal said: “I don’t need a water commission to do that.”

“I am very aware of the criticisms of that proposal. But with where we are — I mean, great, we’ve got (water) falling every day from the sky,” Teal said. “But we’re coming o (many) years of hard drought, and water has become a very serious aspect of our business.”

e criticisms he hears include the projected cost and how much time it would take to deliver, he said.

“Concerns that a water program that brings water into the county

would cost too much and take too long? ey all cost too much and they all take too long,” Teal said.

He also has heard the concerns about taking water from the San Luis Valley.

“Far as I know … there is no taking water there. All water will be bought from willing sellers. And if there are no willing sellers, that’s where the deal starts to fall apart,” Teal said.

Teal pointed to another water transmission plan, involving the South Platte River and the Parker area’s water provider.

“It was kind of pitched as an alternative to the RWR plan,” Teal said.

e Parker Water and Sanitation District has worked on a project that would partner with a water conservancy district in Sterling, a town in Eastern Colorado, to capture unused water during high runo years from the South Platte River there and store it to pipe back to the town.

e project won’t impact existing water rights and won’t allow buyand-dry of nearby agriculture, Ron Redd, the district manager of Parker Water, has said.

Teal said he wants to know more about the cost structure.

“No one has ever shown me that. If it does cost less, I’d like to see that — and hey, they go to No. 1 priority super quick. No problem,” Teal said.

One of Teal’s ideas for the water commission is that it could land the county new plans.

“ is is just an idea — this is not a laid-in-stone plan — but maybe it will attract water proposals” that are more viable than the South Platte plan or the San Luis Valley plan, Teal said.

Money in Parker

Real estate developers interested in exporting water they own from the San Luis Valley to Douglas County have contributed thousands of dollars to candidates for the Parker Water and Sanitation District Board, one of the largest water providers in the county, according to reporting from Fresh Water News.

Recently, Robert Kennah won a seat on the Parker water board and had received two donations from partners in RWR, a real estate development group whose principals include former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens. e contributions were made by RWR principals John Kim and Hugh Bernardi, according to lings at the Colorado Secretary of State’s O ce, Fresh Water News reported.

A second RWR-backed candidate, Kory Nelson, also received $10,000 in donations from RWR, but did not win a seat on the Parker water board. Nelson has contested the results of the election.

If Nelson had won, RWR would have ties to three members of the ve-member board, according to Redd, Fresh Water News reported. Parker board member Brooke Booth is related by marriage to RWR principal Tonner, Redd said, according to the reporting.

contributed to that culture.  e complaint says the district violated the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment by denying equal educational opportunities to the students involved.

Instead of a speci ed amount in the lawsuit, the families are requesting a jury trial to determine damages owed.

“Indeed, in a glaring act of callousness, the School District and Board of Education have yet to take formal action in their entity capacities, and many individual Board Members have yet to condemn these well-documented injustices,” the complaint says.

“ e indi erence of School District leaders explains how such levels of hate and racism were permitted to fester.”

In April, Ganzy and her son reported a group chat of more than 100 Castle Rock Middle School students where some allegedly used the n-word, threatened to shoot Black people, shared racist memes and spoke about bringing back the Holocaust.

Ganzy’s daughter, who was attending Douglas County High

School, also shared during an April school board meeting that she was called racial slurs regularly and was asked by a teacher to debate in favor of Jim Crow Laws during a class activity.

Superintendent Erin Kane made a statement at a May 23 meeting addressing the Ganzy family.

“Racism in any form is unacceptable at DCSD and a direct policy violation,” Kane said.

e complaint sheds further light on the racism the Ganzys experienced, as well as two other students of Castle Rock Middle School.

e complaint alleges all four students were frequently called the n-word and “cotton pickers.” e three middle school students also were compared to monkeys by their classmates numerous times. One student allegedly had a photo taken of them using the bathroom that was posted to the internet.

“Peers and teachers subjected Plainti s to abuse and harassment that was so severe, pervasive, and objectively o ensive that it deprived Plainti s of access to educational opportunities or bene ts provided by the School District,” the complaint says.

According to the official complaint, each student reported what they were experiencing to

teachers or administrators, alleging district staff either didn’t respond at all or didn’t take the reports seriously.

The students’ reports were not shared with their parents and the schools did not communicate to the parents what was happening.

e harassment reached a point where one student switched schools and two others moved to online classes.

e complaint says only one student involved in the group chat was disciplined and sta did not follow through on creating safety plans for the minority students to return to in-person learning. It also notes that the district hasn’t implemented antidiscrimination training for sta or students.

Citing the contention around the district’s equity policy and rhetoric used in the 2021 campaign, the complaint alleges Peterson, Winegar, Myers and Williams oppose educational equity for minority students and “foment hate,” which emboldened students to harass minorities.

“To this day, Majority Board Members employ rhetoric harmful to minority students, and DCSD has failed to implement antidiscrimination trainings,” the complaint says. “Black and

biracial students and parents, and discussions about racism against historically marginalized communities, continue to be portrayed as a problem and dismissed, resulting in an environment ripe for racial harassment and abuse of students.”

In an interview with Colorado Community Media, Ganzy said the district’s response has been unacceptable and she hopes the complaint prompts them to take action, like de ning the di erence between bullying and a hate crime in district policies.

“I’m disappointed we couldn’t reach any sort of resolution before making it to the state that we’re in today,” she said. “I never received any kind of conversation with (Superintendent) Kane or anyone from the school district who said they would reach out.”

Ganzy’s family has since moved out of Castle Rock and switched school districts, but she said she wants to prevent what happened to her children from happening to others.

“I’m hoping that by getting at the one thing that makes Douglas County move at all, which is money, that maybe we’ll get some resolution for the kids behind my son, because they de nitely failed him,” she said.

Bus driver shortages pushes district to do rolling cancellations

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With more than 100 bus driver positions left un lled ahead of the school year, the Douglas County School District is moving to rolling cancellations for all bus routes.

Last year, Superintendent Erin Kane called transportation a “pain point” in the district because a lack of sta ng led to frequent day-of

cancellations. Going into the 202324 school year, sta ng is down even more than last year.

In an e ort to avoid short-notice cancellations this year, the district surveyed parents and families on various short-term solutions until more sta can be hired.

Paula Hans, spokesperson for the district, said the district understands having rolling cancellations is hard for families and continues

to look for solutions. e rolling cancellations will impact all general education routes.

“Of course, we recognize that none of the options were ideal, and we are committed to continuing our driver and assistant recruiting e orts over the course of this year,” Hans said in an email.

Hans said the district’s transportation team will email families in advance to notify them of which

routes will be canceled. roughout the school year, each route will run for four weeks and then be o for one week.

Transportation sta ng is down 104 bus drivers and 32 transportation education assistants, who are responsible for monitoring special education students with moderate to severe needs and challenging

New schools o er career, technical education

Douglas County School District celebrated the openings of two new campuses that expand career and technical education and non-traditional educational opportunities.

e district hosted back-to back ribbon cuttings on Aug. 2 and Aug. 3 at the Legacy Campus in Lone Tree and the VALE Campus in Parker, respectively.

At the Legacy Campus, juniors and seniors from across the district will have access to programs that will provide college credits or prepare them to enter a career, such as robotics, aviation, culinary arts and nursing.

Legacy has partnered with a number of Colorado colleges, including the University of Colorado, Metro State University and Denver University.

“We can’t wait to bring school to life for our students,” said Kollasch.

Classes will run Monday through ursday and on Fridays students will go into the community and learn through local partnerships. Students will start with volunteer work and move onto mentor experiences, internships and apprenticeships.

e goal is for students to apply for a patent, submit a work to be published or become practitioners through their Friday work based learning.

“ e substance that these kids will have starting on Tuesday is like nothing I have ever seen in 20 years in education, and they are going to be amazed,” founding principal Lee Ann Hayen said.

e district bought Legacy for $10.3 million and VALE for $5 million in 2021 and spent roughly $23 million to renovate both buildings.

In an email to families, Kane said it’s hard for Douglas County to o er competitive pay because of limited district funding. Currently, the district is o ering paid training and $1,000 sign-on bonuses for select positions to try entice employees.

“While this is a challenge a ecting school districts across the country, our funding situation makes the challenge more acute for our district,” she said.

e school board will be voting on whether to put a $66 million mill levy override and $484 million bond on the 2023 ballot to pay more competitive salaries for sta and build new schools at the Aug. 8 meeting.

Douglas County School District Superintendent Erin Kane speaks at the ribbon cutting for the Legacy Campus in Lone Tree on Aug. 2. The district opened two new high school campuses for career and technical education for the 2023-34 school year.

Fishing now allowed for first time at Rueter-Hess Reservoir

EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Local residents looking for a place for recreational shing now have Rueter-Hess Reservoir — near Parker and Castle Pines — as an option for the rst-ever time, Douglas County says.

Catch-and-release shing at the reservoir will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, starting Aug. 4 and running through October.

“To maintain the vitality of the sh, a limited number of shing opportunities will be available each day the reservoir is open,” the county said in a news release. Reservations are required and were to open online at 9 a.m. Aug. 2.

Each day that shing is open, 25 adult anglers with valid state shing licenses will be allowed to sh.

ose younger than 16, who are not required by the state to have a license, are not required to register but may still sh, the news release says.

You can sh from the shore or a paddleboard, kayak or canoe.

ere is no cost to sh at the reservoir, but the county asks that you reserve your spot ahead of time.

ose planning to drive into the reservoir need a daytime parking pass, which costs $10 per vehicle.

You can register for shing and a parking pass at the same time at douglas.co.us/rueter-hess-recreation/reservations-rueter-hess.

e reservoir has been stocked with walleye, yellow perch, largemouth bass, wiper (striped hybrid bass), channel cat sh, black crappie and blue gill. Only arti cial

lures and ies, and barbless single hooks, are allowed, and bait is not allowed. Tackle boxes and licenses will be checked, the news release says.

ere is “no discussion at this time” on whether non-catch-andrelease shing will be o ered at the reservoir in the future, said Wendy Holmes, county spokesperson.

Other water activities

e reservoir remains open for non-motorized water activities including paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays into late October. Motorized or belly boats are not allowed.

(Swimming is also not allowed, Holmes said, noting that the reservoir is primarily a drinking-water source.)

Access to the reservoir is free. Again, those who want to drive and park at the reservoir need a one-day parking pass for $10 per vehicle.

New oversight of recreation

Douglas County’s elected leaders recently approved an agreement to take charge of recreation at Rueter-

Hess Reservoir, in a move that the county said would allow for more access.

e change means more time for paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking starting with this year’s water recreation season at the reservoir, now already underway.

Opportunities to enjoy the reservoir area were to expand based on the agreement by the county and the municipalities that sit near the water, providing more sta and a streamlined nancial structure for overseeing recreation.

e reservoir is a drinking-water storage facility owned and operated by the Parker Water and Sanitation District, the entity that provides drinking water to much of Parker and some nearby areas.

e county website describes the reservoir as a place for “history bu s, day hikers, dog walkers, water-sport enthusiasts, and local anthropologists alike.”

Getting there

e reservoir area sits o Hess Road just west of Heirloom Parkway, generally between the City of Castle Pines and the Town of Parker.

It’s accessible about 4 miles east of the interchange of Interstate 25 and Castle Pines Parkway, which becomes Hess Road, or about 4 miles west of the intersection of Parker Road and Hess Road.

Construction to add a new pipeline near the reservoir is ongoing, so you may see construction tra c at the entrance, the news release says.

VOICES

Not Trump — please

Iremember the year I turned 18 and the thought of registering to vote was so awesome. I couldn’t wait to vote for president.

I was proud to register as a Republican. Over the years — I have drifted more to the middle. In Arizona, when I covered more and more politics — it was more logical for me to become an independent. In this space, on more than one occasion, I have said I still lean right on a lot of issues.

However, I have to say, I do not get the Trump loyalty. I cannot gure out how he is still pulling so much support nationwide. He is being indicted for a lot. Whether you agree with the indictments or not — the reality is he’s still got a lot of legal troubles on his plate.

Yet — he still ies around the country touting his “amazing” leadership abilities, asking for money, which appears to be paying legal bills, and claiming he will still make a great president.

However, here is the reality — to those Republicans saying they are going to vote for Trump in the primaries — I ask, have you thought about the end game?

A man whom I’ve stayed friends with and whose family I knew growing up recently posted a plea to his Republican friends on Facebook. He begged his Republican friends to realize that Trump cannot win the whole thing and it’s time to go with another candidate. He speci cally brought up Ron DeSantis.

He speci cally said in ation and the economy are big reasons to look beyond Trump.

I have been a bit surprised that DeSantis has not gained more ground among Republicans.

Even with his recent stumbles I am surprised he has not gained more ground with the party.

In my friend’s plea, he stressed that Trump absolutely will not win the general election. I agree with him.

While Trump may carry the Republican vote — he will not carry the una liated and independent voters. He will not gain anything among Democratic voters.

To win the whole thing — a candidate has to get some votes beyond their own party. Trump cannot do it.

To those still wanting him to be president — it will not happen.

Nikki Haley, Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis have a better chance of getting the una liated voter over Trump.

To those sticking with Trump — do you want to win the entire thing and get Biden out of o ce — or do you want to stand by Trump and lose?

I’m not saying the Republican candidates have my vote as of right now, but I will say Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis have a better shot of getting me to vote Republican than Trump does.

I can’t say I’m over the top with the job the Biden/Harris ticket has done to date. A good, strong leader may get me to consider the other side.

I believe Trump has divided this country too much. I believe he has helped in creating the hateful country we are dealing with on both sides of the aisle. Is he solely to blame? No. But, he carries a lot of it.

We need a di erent leader. We need di erent people to represent the conservative party.

I hope the Trump-for-life supporters start questioning whether loyalty to him is more important than having new leadership in the White House in 2025.

Reading to learn, grow, imagine, escape

As part of our company’s onboarding process, we are invited to connect with new hires at every level of the organization and wherever they may live. Technology of course makes scheduling these calls and having these calls very easy when we are connecting with new remote team members. e other day I had a wonderful call with our newest team member, Adam. What we found that we had in common was a love for reading. And it was a great reminder for me that each year around this time, I publish my reading list and recommendations.

e summertime is always a great way to reacquaint ourselves with reading if we have not been as diligent in our e orts. Vacations and staycations o er us that time to unwind

and relax with a good book. For me, depending on what I am reading, a great book transports me to di erent places, in di erent times, inspires creativity, and helps me to learn and grow personally and professionally.

I love this quote by S.I. Hayawaka, “It is not true that we only have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of life as we wish.” So spot on. We all have our di erent genres of the types of books we enjoy reading. For me, I go through a cycle of ve di erent types of books and then repeat the cycle. I start with a faithbased book, then a history book or biography, then move to a business book, add in a personal development book, and then go to a ctional book. I have found that the diversity in my reading keeps me well-rounded and a ords me the opportunity to engage in conversations with people regardless of their own reading preferences.

Again, those are just my recent favorites and if you are looking for a good book in a speci c genre, hopefully this list helps or inspires you to look at similar titles.

And remember what Mary Schmich says about reading, “Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.” It is so true, we can let whatever it is we read to lead us into a new paradigm and bring us into a new place mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For those who haven’t stopped by their local library in recent years, it’s not just a place to pick up and drop o books anymore.

In the post-pandemic era, libraries have become meeting places, remote work spaces, play areas and more. Rather than the repositories of books and other print media they once were, libraries are taking on more of a community center role, sta members at Denverarea library districts explained.

“ ey’ve always had that role,” said Holly Grant of the Clear Creek County Library District. “But now, it’s about … not just seeing (a library) as a storehouse of knowledge and scholarship.”

To that end, libraries have diversi ed the items and programs they o er to address community needs. Depending on the district, patrons can check out everything from camping equipment to virtual reality headsets. Additionally, patrons can access video- and audiobook-streaming services for free with their library cards.

Plus, along with children’s storytime and book clubs, library events and programs can range from puppy yoga to snowshoe hikes.

“It’s a very di erent library than what many of us grew up with,” Holly Whelan of Arapahoe Libraries said. “ … We have everything, everything, everything.”

Items and resources aplenty

Whelan’s words aren’t an exaggeration, as sta members from multiple districts said their libraries o er so much it’s hard for them to remember everything. So, before buying, renting or downloading something, check the library rst.

Along with books, movies and comics, districts have nontraditional items for check-out. Many o er laptops, iPads, Kindles, mobile WiFi hotspots, passes to local museums, cookware, GoPro cameras and science kits.

Mark Fink, executive director of Anythink Libraries — which has branches from ornton to Bennett — said his district’s TryIts collection includes musical instruments for various experience levels; lawn games; outdoor gear like snowshoes and backpacks; 3-D printers; sewing machines and crafting kits; and microscopes.

People have borrowed them for weekend barbecues, camping trips, one-o projects, or to see whether they’d want to buy their own. Fink said the TryIts collection has been so popular, Anythink Libraries has “expanded the level of items we provide.”

O ering items like these saves patrons money and helps the environment too, Grant pointed out, as people aren’t buying things they might only use once.

Along with physical items, districts have several online resources patrons can access with their library cards. rough these apps and online services, patrons can download e-books and audiobooks, stream movies and TV shows, and access tutoring services and online classes — all for free.

Lizzie Gall of Je erson County Public Library said patrons who used to spend money on Audible and Net ix

have saved money by nding their items through the library instead.

In-person services are also crucial, whether it’s answering technological questions or notarizing documents. Grant said Clear Creek patrons have asked for help setting up their Kindles and reviewing their emails, and tourists often stop into the Idaho Springs and Georgetown branches to ask questions about local sites and museums.

As Whelan summarized it: “If you think the library isn’t for you, or we don’t have anything to o er, think again. … We have something for everybody.”

Unique programs, events

Beyond summer reading and book clubs, libraries have expanded the type of events and programs they o er — ranging from outdoor and out-of-library adventures, to arts

and culture, to physical and mental health. Almost all are free and open to everyone, including out-of-district attendees. Some may require preregistration and/or tickets to cover event costs.

Clear Creek has hosted everything from snowshoe hikes to American Sign Language classes. It also has free present-wrapping stations in December, which are immensely popular, Grant said.

Both Je erson County and Arapahoe libraries have hosted after-hours laser tag for teens, which are well-attended and sometimes have fun themes like “Star Wars.” Gall highlighted other teen events, like this August’s Teen Iron Chef and the ongoing Coding Camp, which has expanded to include preteens.

popular at Anythink and Arapahoe library districts, with each concert drawing hundreds of attendees.

Fink noted how Anythink Libraries also has an artists-in-residence program through a partnership with the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. e district’s also partnering with the City of ornton to build a 35,000-square foot nature library so people can engage with nature in an accessible way, he commented.

For Arapahoe Libraries, Whelan highlighted the Library For All program, which is for adults with disabilities and their caregivers. It also has a Memory Café for adults with memory loss, their caregivers and families.

Events like these have become crucial ways for participants to connect and interact with those in similar situations, Whelan described.

At Douglas County Public Libraries, the popular brew tour is return-

ing this year, which encourages patrons to support local breweries and co ee shops. Kerri Morgan, special events manager, said the district also hosts several literary trivia nights, library-wide scavenger hunts and similar events throughout the year.

Its thrice-a-year Storybook Holiday events are especially delightful, she added. ese themed nights at the library bring classic stories to life at springtime, Halloween and the winter holidays. is fall’s will be “ e Legend of Sleepy Hollow”themed, complete with interactive trick-or-treating.

“When you walk into the library, it’s almost like walking into a living expression of that piece of literature,” Morgan said of the Storybook Holiday events. “ … It’s all about making positive, lifelong memories inside the library.”

During the pandemic, virtual events became incredibly popular, and districts continue to o er hybrid options. Whelan said, for Arapahoe Libraries, it’s about engaging people no matter where they’re at — in the world, or in life.

“When we talk about getting people into the libraries, that doesn’t physically have to be walking through the doors,” she continued.

Preserving the ‘third place’

With libraries evolving as technology and community needs do, sta members emphasized how libraries are increasingly important meeting places. So, the buildings must re ect that.

More libraries now feature built-in cafes for people to relax, meet and/ or work. Fink said Anythink Libraries wanted its branches to feel like “high-end bookstores,” and help patrons “create special moments of joy or delight” through their library experiences.

Fink described how, in sociological terms, libraries fall into the “third place.” e premise is that a person’s “ rst place” is their home and their “second place” is work. us, “third places” like parks, churches, co ee shops and gyms are crucial for civic engagement and social interaction.

Libraries as “third places” are increasingly important for young

parents looking to get their children out of the house and meet other local families, Morgan described. eir popularity’s also growing among work-from-home folks who’ve lost their “second place” and want to work a free, o ce-type environment.

Morgan emphasized how, unlike some “third places,” libraries are completely free and open to everyone.

“It’s a place where, if you want, you can be entertained or educated,” she said. “It’s almost like a choose-your-own adventure.”

Gall, Grant and others emphasized how should re ect the people they serve, and adapt to their needs and interests. us, their districts are very responsive to patrons’ feedback for new items, events and programs.

“( e library)’s something that everybody can enjoy without feeling like there’s a price tag attached,” Grant continued. “ … If the library wasn’t there to o er all those elements of service, where would (people) get them from?”

Douglas County Libraries hosts a Halloween-themed Storybook Holiday event. The district hosts these events three times a year — in the spring, around Halloween, and in early December.

Mainstreet, Parker, CO 80138, for the purpose of considering the adequacy of the Amended and Restated Service Plan and to form a basis for adopting a Resolution approving, disapproving, or conditionally approving the proposed Amended and Restated Service Plan for the District. All protests and objections must be made at the public hearing or any continuance or postponement thereof in order to be considered. All protests and objections to the Amended and Restated Service Plan shall be deemed to be waived by Town Council unless presented at the time and in the manner specified.

The District is a metropolitan district as that term is defined in Section 32-1-103(10), C.R.S. The District’s boundaries are located entirely within the Town of Parker, on approximately the southeast corner of Jordan Road and Mainstreet.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Service Plan, the purpose of the District is to provide for the planning, design, acquisition, construction, installation, relocation and/or redevelopment of the Public Improvements from its revenues and by and through the proceeds of Debt to be issued by the District, except as specifically limited in the Amended and Restated Service Plan. The District shall be authorized, operate and maintain Public Improvements (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Service Plan) as specifically provided for in the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Town, including, but not limited to street improvements (including roads, curbs, gutters, culverts, sidewalks, parking facilities, paving, lighting, grading, landscaping, and other street improvements), traffic and safety control, landscaping, drainage improvements, irrigation system improvements, and all necessary equipment and appurtenances incident thereto.

The District shall be permitted to levy up to 15 mills (or other mill levy cap as approved by Town Council), subject to the Mill Levy Adjustment, for the purpose of paying for the costs of ongoing administrative, accounting and legal services to the District, and the costs of operating and maintaining certain Public Improvements as specifically set forth in the Amended and Restated Service Plan and Intergovernmental Agreement with the Town.
