to make up for losses from the COVID-19 pandemic and make salaries slightly more competitive. However,
State climate experts and local fire officials along the Front Range say wildfire season no longer has an end as heat, low moisture and other factors have created a year-round problem. Russ Schumacher, the Colorado state climatologist and director of the Colorado Climate Center, said 2020 was the worst year on record for wildfires, rewriting record books on what kind of fires can happen and when. In the past, wildfire season was generally contained to the hottest part of summer in July and into August. Now, Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District Chief Daniel Hatlestad said, wildfires are a 12-month priority. The Inter-Canyon Fire District covers 52 square miles in Jefferson County. “We are seeing these fires spread, and spread quickly every month of the year,” Hatlestad said. “The fuel load across the Front Range has created more intense, frequent and longer-burning fires. There is no longer a change of approach to prepare for wildfire season because there is no season.”

Despite a court ruling that freed Bill Cosby years after his sexual-as-
sault conviction, a Douglas County resident says progress is being made to help victims come forward and find justice in cases of rape and sexual assault, but more needs to be done. Heidi Thomas, who has testified in court that Cosby sexually assaulted her in the 1980s, said that when she read a news story
announcing he would be released from prison, it was a “punch in the gut.” “I had no idea this was coming,” said the Castle Rock resident and Littleton native. “It just came out of the blue.” Cosby was released on July 1 SEE CHANGE, P16

Man who shot at deputies sentenced to 48 years Sheriff’s office says he was stealing from cars and mailboxes beforehand STAFF REPORT
A man who shot at Douglas County sheriff’s deputies from a stolen car as they were trying to pull it over was sentenced to 48 years in prison, according to a news release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Douglas County District Court Judge Theresa Slade sentenced Peirce Langewisch, 22, to the maximum prison Peirce time allowed under Langewisch the plea agreement. “You don’t get to shoot at law enforcement officers and get a slap on the wrist,” said District Attorney John Kellner, according to the release. “He was committing crimes, and when the deputies moved to intercept the car he was in, he escalated the situation and put passersby as
well as deputies in danger. For that, he will be incarcerated for a lengthy time.” On Nov. 27, 2018, Douglas County sheriff’s deputies spotted a possible stolen vehicle that ran a red light about 3 a.m. on South Broadway. When they followed the car, it began weaving and accelerated, reaching speeds of between 100 mph and 120 mph on C-470, according to the release. Other deputies assisted in trying to stop the car. Near Park Meadows mall, Langewisch, the rear-seat passenger, fired a gun at deputies, who returned fire, the release said. The car attempted to elude deputies by racing through residential neighborhoods — with shots coming out of the back window — until it crashed on Dry Creek Road near I-25. According to the release, as deputies tried to take the car’s occupants into custody, the suspects did not obey commands and deputies shot at the car. The driver, Nicholas Ryan, 19, was killed. The front seat passenger, Jason Sutton, 21, was injured. Langewisch was not injured and was taken into custody. “The job of a law enforcement

Other counts were dismissed as part of the plea agreement. He was sentenced to three years in the Colorado Department of Corrections. Langewisch pleaded guilty on March 1 to two counts of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer, a Class 2 felony; and one count of possession of a weapon by a previous offender, a Class 6 felony. Other counts were dismissed as part of the plea agreement. Chief Deputy District Attorney Gary Dawson prosecuted the cases with Deputy District Attorney Joel Zink. During the sentencing hearing on July 9, Zink noted Langewisch’s previous criminal history, as well as numerous incidents since he had been in the Douglas County jail. “This defendant has made his intentions clear: As soon as he is released, he plans to go out and do the exact same kinds of things that put him behind bars,” Zink said, according to the release. “There is no remorse, contrition or any interest in rehabilitation on his part. The maximum sentence allowed is appropriate.”

officer has become increasingly more dangerous, especially with individuals like this who blatantly, for no apparent reason, just shoot at the police. He needs to understand the ramifications of his actions,” said Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, according to the release. “We welcome the sentence in this case and are extremely grateful to all those who worked so hard the last few years to bring the defendants to justice.” The investigation revealed the three were in the stolen vehicle and stealing from mailboxes and cars before they were spotted by a deputy, the release said. Ryan gave Langewisch the gun during the incident, and Langewisch admitted to detectives that he shot at the deputies as Ryan tried to elude them, according to the release. The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office determined the deputies’ use of lethal force was justified. Sutton pleaded guilty Oct. 11, 2019, to one count of vehicular eluding, a Class 5 felony; and one count of first-degree trespassing of a vehicle, a Class 5 felony.
Castle Rock is planning transportation improvements to the Four Corners intersection, located two miles east of downtown. Increasing traffic at this intersection of Founders Parkway, Fifth Street, Highway 86 and Ridge Road is causing safety and congestion concerns and there is a need to better accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians. Improvement ideas were developed and evaluated earlier this year, in collaboration with the Colorado Department of Transportation and Douglas County. The recommended concept for an improved signalized intersection was shared during a March open house. Community input received during that meeting has been considered and incorporated into the preliminary design. Proposed improvements include added lanes on all legs of the intersection at the traffic signal, free right-turn movements, signal timing and phasing improvements and local access improvements. These upgrades will improve traffic operations and enhance safety and
mobility through the intersection. This solution will have the ability to flex to accommodate future travel patterns and multimodal demand into the year 2040. Community members will have the opportunity to view the preliminary design and provide comments at an online open house on July 27, starting at 6 p.m. Feedback will be used to optimize improvements and minimize impacts as the design is finalized. Final design is expected to be complete early next year. Join the meeting online to view the presentation materials: bit. ly/4CornersOpenHouse2. Participants can also call in using the following: Dial-in number: 1-720-928-9299 Meeting ID: 949 8950 1486 Passcode: 204679 A recording of the online open house meeting will be made available following the meeting. Comments are being accepted online through Aug. 10 at CRgov. com/4Corners. The town successfully secured regional funding for this project through the Denver Regional Council of Governments and is providing a local match to complete the design ($1.2 million) and construction ($5.3 million) of these improvements. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2022.

Imaging Baby opens in Castle Rock Mom works to provide comfortable, calming place for ultrasounds BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As a mother who experienced four miscarriages before having two healthy babies, Castle Rock’s Desiree Walker said she understands the need for a comfortable, calming place to make sure everything is OK for expectant mothers. After her successful pregnancy with her second daughter, Walker said one thing she learned is that this region needs more imaging services. Consequently, Walker opened Imaging Baby, a 3D/4D ultrasound studio in downtown Castle Rock when her daughter was just two months old. “For so many, seeing is believing,” Walker said. “Mom will always have that bond with baby, but when family members and dads get to see the baby through imaging, they too get to feel that connection.” The technology at Imaging Baby extends beyond the patient room. Walker makes it possible for family members to take part in an ultrasound session without being there. Through her services, a father serving in the military in Iraq will be able to watch the ultrasound video at the very moment it is being taken. Just recently, through the video
Desiree Walker recently opened Imaging Baby in Castle Rock.
technology, Walker was able to simulcast an ultrasound to a grandmother in London. “I had a baby during COVID, and my husband couldn’t be in the room with me,” Walker said. “It is so important to form that connection as a family, and it should not be taken away from family members. My entire goal is to have a place where family is safe to come in or tune in.” Walker said ultrasound sessions are meant to be in a relaxing atmosphere. She said she understands firsthand that pregnancy can be stressful, especially for those considered high risk. Sometimes the baby may not be moving enough. In turn, mothers are just apprehensive and need a little more reassurance. “I get a call from moms who are stressed out and nervous,” said Walker, who is a registered nurse. “I want them to come and get that reassurance they need.”
Desiree Walker is taking her nursing experience into private practice, opening Imaging PHOTOS BY THELMA GRIMES Baby to provide luxury 3D/4D ultrasounds.
Instead of doctor’s office only allowing a glimpse of the baby once or twice a pregnancy, Walker said Imaging Baby is available to help expectant moms relax, get reassured and see that the baby is OK at any time. Walker said Imaging Baby is not set up to replace a doctor. Walker encourages moms to continue having a good relationship with their primary care doctors. Imaging Baby is just another resource, she said. Walker said Imaging Baby believes in a holistic care model focused on mind, body and soul. The Imaging Baby offices also partner with local providers to give pregnancy massag-
es, pelvic floor therapy, maternity and newborn photography, along with a variety of postpartum needs. Imaging Baby has also partnered with SneakPeek to conduct gender determination testing. To further celebrate the gender-reveal process, Walker said she also offers merchandise to host gender-reveal parties. The merchandise includes confetti bombs, powder bombs and smoke bombs. To get even more creative, Imaging Baby has exploding golf balls that will rain pink or blue. Imaging Baby is located at 333 Perry St., Suite 205, in Castle Rock.

County gives out annual Philip S. Miller grants BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Philip S. Miller may have died more than 20 years ago, but on July 13, his legacy was remembered in Douglas County as two-dozen organizations benefited from a trust he set up during his life. The Miller trust has nine beneficiaries, including Douglas County, Castle Rock, Douglas County’s 4H Program and the Castle Rock Fire Department. Miller, born in 1895, was a businessman and philanthropist in Douglas County until his death in 1999. Several areas in the town are dedicated and named for Miller including the county government building, a local park and the Castle Rock Library.
In 1980, Miller and his wife, having no children, established the trust, which provides a cash distribution to its beneficiaries every year. Trust distributions are to be used “exclusively for charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes,” according to the county. This year, $185,000 was divided up between 23 nonprofits including the Help & Hope Center, Cherry Hills Community Church, Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation, the Parker Task Force, the Highlands Ranch Metro District and Aging Resources of Douglas County. A full list of recipients is available at douglas.co.us/newsroom in a news release titled “Grant awards bolster local safety-net programs.” Checks were handed out to these organizations during the July 13

County seeks volunteers to advise on public health BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Nine Douglas County residents will have the opportunity to help shape the way public health services look in the community after commissioners formed a Public Health Advisory Committee during a July 12 work session.
While the county is contracted to remain with Tri-County Health Department until at least 2023, commissioners are exploring the creation of their own health department for the following years. “The Public Health Advisory Committee provides invaluable citizen and business input and perspective to the Board of Douglas County
Commissioners,” according to the county website. Douglas County has been a part of Tri-County, which also serves Adams and Arapahoe counties, since 1966. The advisory board will not make decisions or policies but will instead provide input to commissioners, according to a county news release. The county began considering a
new approach to public health a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic following several public health orders from Tri-County. Commissioners have cited a desire for increased local control as their reasoning for looking into making their own health department.

Backcountry Wilderness Area thrives Conservation efforts, community programs make land a benefit to Highlands Ranch BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In Highlands Ranch, the more than 8,200 acres of open land known as the Backcountry Wilderness Area (BWA) is a special resource that is being preserved as open, natural space. In the 1980s, before housing construction reshaped Highlands Ranch, early visionaries wanted to make sure wildlife and grasslands were kept in place. As Mission Viejo worked out a land agreement with Shea Homes, part of the deal was to conserve 13 square miles of land between Castle Pines and Highlands Ranch. As part of the original agreement, once Shea Homes reached 90% buildout, the land was officially donated to the Highlands Ranch Community Association in 2010. Mark Giebel, director of the BWA, said the amount of thought that went into protecting this land is “incredible.” As modern-day Highlands Ranch celebrates its 40-year anniversary, Geibel said this land is a big piece to celebrate. “It’s super important to have this

kind of land agreement in place, especially as development continues,” Giebel said. “It is going to be clear how important this land deal was in the next few decades. This property is a gem because of where it is located and its size.” Sitting on top of one of the many dirt trails in the BWA, grasslands can be seen for miles, serving as a home for animals such as elk, mule deer, bears, mountain lions, eagles,

coyotes, porcupines and birds to roam freely without the threat of human-caused destruction. “This is land that can never be developed,” said Lindsey McKissick, outreach coordinator for the BWA. “It is taken so seriously that on occasion, new levels of protection are even added to the management plan.” For many years, and to some degree today, McKissick said the BWA feels like a well-kept secret. Many residents still have no idea about the trail system throughout the property, or that through special planning, the land will continue to thrive thanks to the efforts of a small but dedicated staff. The BWA has seven full-time staff and some dedicated volunteers. “To this day, so many homeowners have no idea this exists in their big back yard,” McKissick said. “It is really tough to appreciate something you can’t really see or touch.” To help the community become more educated about BWA, McKissick said a carefully planned effort continues to bring the public into the area to learn about native grass-
lands, the importance of open space and wildlife in the region. In 2017, the BWA started hosting summer camps to educate area youths on the importance of the conservation project. In the first year, McKisskick said about 30 kids attended. This year, more than 1,300 kids participated in the camps where they travel the dirt trails, learn in outdoor classrooms and build forts. BWA also allows hiking, horseback riding and hunting opportunities. For those just wanting to learn more about the land, BWA offers educational tours. McKissick said through more community outreach, BWA hopes to raise awareness and encourage residents to continue supporting the conservation efforts. “If every household donated $20 each year, we would have so much extra to go toward fire mitigation and conservation efforts.” McKissick said. Because the land must be kept as open space, a lot of work goes into protecting it each year. McKissick said fire mitigation is a top priority as the BWA works closely with the South Metro Fire District to prevent a major wildfire. On a regular basis, South Metro Fire Rescue trains on the trails of the BWA, making sure firefighters know where each trail is located,

State COVID powers unchanged despite ‘lifting’ Disaster emergency order still in effect but refocused; state health department powers remain BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In early July, Gov. Jared Polis’ office issued a news release that said: “Governor Polis Ends COVID-19 Health Emergency Order.” Following that statement, Colorado state Senate Republicans heralded that “the public health emergency would come to an end today,” the Senate GOP said in a release. “This is something we’ve been advocating for on behalf of our constituents for some time now,” state Sen. Paul Lundeen, a Republican of Monument, said in the release. “Every meeting we’ve had with the governor has been punctuated with an inquiry as to when he would finally lift the order and declare this pandemic over in the State of Colorado. We’re glad to see he finally has agreed to turn this dark page in our history.” The reality is more complicated than Polis and the Senate GOP described — and the state generally continues to have the same powers regarding COVID-19 response as it did before Polis’ new policy.
Gov. Jared Polis sits at his desk June 7 in the state Capitol to sign a bill aimed at adPHOTO BY ELLIS ARNOLD dressing bullying policy among school districts in the state.
Polis’ office told Colorado Community Media that the governor “ended the health emergency in Colorado” but wouldn’t point specifically to what executive order constituted a “COVID-19 health emergency order” that was being lifted. The closest action to such a comprehensive “health emergency order” appears to be Executive Order
Join Us!
D 2020 003, issued in the early days of the pandemic in Colorado, dated March 11, 2020. That order declared a state of disaster emergency due to the coronavirus and authorized state agencies to take actions to respond to the crisis. “The original order, D 003, was very broad because the governor had to address the health crisis, economic impacts and more. The current order is narrowed to focus on the economic recovery and powering the Colorado comeback,” said Conor Cahill, a spokesperson for the governor. Emergency powers During a declared emergency, the governor’s powers greatly expand. During any type of disaster emergency, among other powers, the governor may: • Control the right to enter and exit a disaster area, along with the movement of people within the area. The governor can also quarantine persons and property.

• Commandeer or use any private property if necessary to cope with the disaster emergency. • Suspend a statute — or state law — that lays out the procedures for conducting state business or the rules of any state agency, if strict compliance with the statute or rule would prevent or delay necessary action in coping with the disaster emergency. That’s according to a fact sheet on the governor’s powers during a declared emergency written by the Office of Legislative Legal Services, a staff agency of the Colorado legislature. Perhaps the most visible form of power the governor has exercised in Coloradans’ everyday lives was the state’s mask order, issued by executive order and renewed many times. The governor’s mask order expired June 1, according to the governor’s office, but some of its requirements have generally lived on through an updated public health order from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. What’s more, that department’s power to issue public health orders — including those regarding capacity restrictions on businesses, quarantine guidance or masks — have not changed as a result of Polis’ new policy. “Public health orders do not rely on a disaster emergency declaration and can be issued at any time to control the spread of disease and protect public health,” said a statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state public-health department. In other words, Colorado’s public health orders can still require quarantine policies, restrictions on businesses and other measures in response to the coronavirus. The statewide stay-at-home order in spring 2020 and the safer-at-home order that came after it were issued via public health orders.

virus spread — also arrived via public health order. Some provisions restated What Polis’ July 8 action did was rescind many executive orders the governor issued in response to the pandemic, but it also restated some provisions, including to continue the state’s disaster declaration. “My verbal order of March 10, 2020, declaring a disaster emergency … is hereby memorialized by this executive order and shall have the full force and effect of law as if it were contained within this executive order,” the July 8 executive order says. What that means is that Polis’ emergency powers appear to remain unchanged, but the governor appears to be focusing his powers only in certain ways. “Over seventy percent of adults have now received at least one dose of the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine, and we are beginning to see life return to a new normal. I am therefore rescinding all previous executive orders issued due to COVID-19 and amending and restating this executive order to focus only on those measures related to the state’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic emergency,” the July executive order says. Spanning 12 pages, the executive order still issues numerous dense directives, such as for administering
the COVID-19 vaccine and ensuring that health care facilities have sufficient resources to treat COVID-19 patients, improving Colorado’s economic recovery, and maintaining access to additional federal funding, the order’s text says. Some language that the order says it rescinds is nevertheless reinstated elsewhere in the order. For example, the order says the governor rescinds Executive Order D 2021 088, which provides some protection for tenants at risk of eviction amid the pandemic. But part of order D 2021 088’s language is inserted verbatim back into the new executive order on page 8. John Douglas, director of TriCounty Health Department, said on July 15 that he wasn’t aware of the “seeming contradiction” about the disaster declaration continuing. “I assumed we were not (under emergency order),” said Douglas, whose department is the local health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. County and district public health agencies have independent authority to issue local public health orders, for which a statewide disaster declaration is not required, according to Mellissa Sager, policy and public affairs officer for Tri-County Health. Douglas wondered whether the crowd at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game happening five days after the governor’s new executive order acts as a “double barrel” mechanism for making people less cautious. So far, he hasn’t seen evidence of that, he said.

Parker recognizes church for helping businesses Southeast Christian Church congregation raised about $205,000 BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A local church is being lauded for a program it put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic that doled out about $205,000 to struggling local businesses in Douglas County and beyond. The Town of Parker recognized a representative from Southeast Christian Church during their July 12 meeting for the Restart Program. “On behalf of the council and the Town of Parker, thank you so much,” Mayor Jeff Toborg said to Creative Pastor Jeff Percival.

giving them an advantage if a call comes in reporting smoke. “This high level of knowledge helps firefighters get to where they need to go without having them just out here running around in the woods,” McKissick said. “They know the trails, the roads and the spots where they need to be
“Thank you so much for everything you’ve done.” Toborg provided a certificate to recognize the church’s “outstanding support and commitment to Parker small businesses,” he said during the meeting. Tom Fitzgerald, the executive pastor at the church, said the program started in January and the last funding went out in June. “The idea was as we were looking at aid that was being made available and there was a lot of it, but there were still gaps,” Fitzgerald said. “We saw an opportunity as a church to go to our congregation to raise some money for small businesses.” The approximate 5,500-person congregation raised about $100,000 and the church matched that funding, Fitzgerald said. “It was a time that felt so unbelievably out of control. To as tangibly
as possible be the hands and feet of Jesus and help and do something in a situation that we all felt so powerless in was really motivating,” he said. The church went out and advertised the opportunity for businesses with the Parker Chamber of Commerce and the town council. They also had their congregation and staff hand out cards to businesses. In the end, they were able to help 14 businesses that ranged from Parker to Aurora to Castle Rock. The funding the businesses received was based on their need. For some, the church helped them pay rent; for others they helped with replacing equipment or other needs. Each business got about $5,000 to $25,000 depending on their need, Percival said during the Parker meeting. Businesses helped included res-
taurants, retail, childcare providers, contractors and mental health clinics. “The Southeast Christian Church Restart Program has greatly contributed to helping small businesses thrive in Parker, Colorado,” Toborg said during the meeting. A committee of six people from the church — four members of the congregation and two staff members — selected the businesses. The committee, made up of business strategists, accountants and other business-minded members, also helped work with the companies to help them with business coaching and to find additional funding and grants. “We’re always looking forward to being generous to our community and to take care of the people in our backyard and beyond it,” Fitzgerald said.
through extensive training.” Einar Jensen, the risk reduction specialist for South Metro Fire, said the BWA has a great program and has done a great job coordinating with fire crews to protect the important piece of land. Jensen said South Metro Fire works with BWA staff to create an evacuation plan in case the public is onsite during a fire. Fire crews also work with BWA to conduct tree and weed mitigation, along with removing trees sur-
rounding power lines, Jensen said. For further fire mitigation, McKissick said, BWA has an agreement with a local rancher to allow cattle to graze, keeping weeds and grass cut short. McKissick said the job of protecting wildlife is taken seriously. During tours, extra efforts are made to avoid disturbing animals, especially in the spring when mother elk are having baby calves. To really gain a sense of what kind of wildlife is in the area, BWA has posted water stations throughout the property. There
is no natural running water in the area, McKissick said, making these water stations pivotal for the animals. Over the years, McKissick said, the water stations have provided valuable information about local wildlife, and on occasion, great social-media entertainment such as a video of a baby bear cub that went viral.

VOICES
When life gives you clichés, make clichéade
I
t’s eleven o’clock. Do you know where your cliché is? For Pete’s sake, clichés drive me up the wall. They rattle my cage. At the end of the day, clichés push my buttons. QUIET Lately I have been feeling comDESPERATION fortable in my own skin. I think it’s because whatever doesn’t kill me makes me stronger. I hear that every week at my AA meeting. Wayne Gretzky: “You miss one Craig Marshall hundred percent of the shots you never Smith take.” When one door opens, another one closes. Or maybe it’s the other way around. The way I see it, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Life is too short to get all bent out of shape. Harry agrees. His bark is bigger
than his bite. Like he always says, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” After all: time heels all hounds. Harry and I take it one game at a time. He’s one in a million. You know what? We’re not laughing with you, we’re laughing at you. Like Harry always says, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” Steven Wright: “A fool and his money are soon partying.” Eddie Murphy: “I wish people would stop making fun of fat people. They have enough on their plates.” Lightning doesn’t knock twice. People who live in stone houses shouldn’t throw glasses. There’s no “i” in ego. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery and today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present.” “Cut twice, measure once.” When I was doing my homework last night, I was so hungry I could have eaten a course. We often rely on clichés for two reasons. Either because we’re lazy
minded or we’re lazy minded. You know who uses a lot of them? Motivational speakers. They will tell you, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” (So is listening to Aaron Copland.) Keep your sunny side up. Tomorrow is another day. The early bird get the worm. The second mouse gets the cheese. Harry is as complicated as an onion. You have to appeal to him one layer at a time. If we are all in this together, I hope you don’t snore. If we are all in this together, I hope you won’t expect me to go to “Hamilton” with you. You’re never fully dressed without a simile. As Chef Boyardee said in divorce court, “You can’t judge a cook by his lover.” The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing.
When it rains, it pours. The rest is history. Have a nice day. Have a nice night. Hang by your thumbs and write if you get work. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Life is a bowl of cherries. “Beulah, peel me a grape.” Jack Handey: “Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you will be a mile away and have their shoes.” William Lyon Phelps, “If at first you don’t succeed find out if the loser gets anything.” Steven Wright: “If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.” Marcelene Cox: “If at first you don’t succeed, blame your parents.” Charles de Gaulle: “He who laughs last didn’t get the joke.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

What I wouldn’t give for just 5 more minutes
H
ow many times have we thought, “If I could only do that over again?” Whatever that is, there is always at least one thing, maybe several things we wish we could take another WINNING shot at. There are WORDS conversations where we wish we could have said something differently or take back the words we spoke in haste or in an unprepared moment. Oftentimes the Michael Norton do-over we want has more to do with our desire to do something better while seeking another attempt at fixing any mistake or regretful moment where we may have erred. We seek improvement so that the next time we are faced with the same opportunity or conversation, we handle it better. Second chances are awesome, third chances are terrific, and fourth chances are tremendously amazing. And for a guy who has

had way too many do-overs in life, I am grateful for those multiple chances to get it right. As life goes on and people come and go in our lives, personally and professionally, and as we lose those we have loved, if we are not careful we may find ourselves saying something like, “What I wouldn’t give for one more day or even to have just five more minutes with that person.” Those are always tough moments as we wish that we would have made more of an effort to see them, spent a few extra minutes each week on the phone with them, or invested the time to listen and learn from them. There may still be opportunities to reconnect with those who have moved away, regardless of how far. Technology allows us to reconnect virtually and maybe even pick up right where had left off. The heartache of missing someone who has passed away is difficult. And there are moments where we really do wish we could have just five more minutes with them. But here is the question, are there people in our life, should they suddenly be
removed from our lives for whatever reason, whom we would wish that we could have spoken to them one more time? We all have someone or maybe a few people who would be missed dearly. The good news is that they are still with us, they are a walk, drive, email, call or text away. So instead of realizing one day that we wish we had one more chance to be with or talk to someone, how about we do something about it today to make sure we are not looking back with regret and instead enjoying each moment we have to create beautiful memories today. Here’s my plan to make sure I am making contact with those who are important to me. Please feel free to use some or all of this plan so you stay connected too. 1. Each day make one extra call to a friend, family member or loved one. 2. Each week, send a handwritten letter, card or note to someone expressing my gratitude. 3. Three times a day, morning, noon and night, send an email to a colleague, coach, or mentor. 4. Each morning send a text to
my children letting them know how much I love them and say something special to them. 5. I walk my neighborhood each day as I walk my dog or walk into town. And I intentionally try hard to find one of my neighbors or someone in the community to say hi to and to ask them how they are doing. 6. Spend time in prayer, remembering those whom I have loved and lost. Are there one or more people that you really want to stay connected to? Are there things you could do and should do to stay more connected? Are there people you miss, and just wish you could have had just five more minutes of time with? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com and when we can find a way to have more time with those we love and cherish, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Anyone else slow about moving on to freedom?
H
ave you been feeling a bit anxious lately? You’d think as the pandemic starts to wane (in our area) and restrictions begin to be lifted, that I’d be feeling great about the potential of reentering the world as we used to know it. Maybe I could walk into a GUEST building without COLUMN a mask, or get on an airplane and attend my brother’s surprise birthday party, or … But, how come I feel so nervous to do any of that? Yes, I’m fully vaccinated, and I Linda Newell still wear a mask when I go anywhere inside. And still, only vaccinated or masked people are allowed into my home. Yes, I know the latest statistics about the slim possibility that I’ll
end up dying, in the hospital, or contracting COVID-19 at all. But I also don’t know who’s around me who has NOT been vaccinated or what possible variant is taking over today. I do know people who are still getting it, and even dying from it, as late as last week ... who were vaccinated! And even if I were safe enough not to be hospitalized, who wants to lose their taste, smell, or become a COVID long-hauler at all? Not me. I also need to remember that I’m not the only one to be worried about. In my family, we have a young kiddo who can’t be vaccinated yet, and I sure don’t want to be the one who gives him the COVID crud. But it turns out not just for me, but for others as well, that it’s not only about getting COVID-19. We’re still seeing violent crime rates rise and road rage incidents almost every week in our state.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR School candidates deserve support I, along with so many others, am excited to support Becky Myers, Christy Williams, Kaylee Winegar and Mike Peterson for Douglas County School Board. This past year has opened my eyes to the influence the school board has in our community, and how important it is to have a board that puts kids first. These four candidates will head our school district in the right direction by doing just that — putting kids first. They will be transparent, accountable partners with the community. In part, that means listening to families and advocating for safe inperson learning, not deflecting that leadership to others. They will focus on academics, not activism. Only half of students in DCSD are grade-level proficient in reading and math — we must do better than that. These four candidates will restore the focus on academic excellence in our classrooms by reflecting the values of Douglas County, not injecting the politics of Washington, D.C. This approach will empower teachers to help each child reach their full potential. They will restore balance to this school board. Diversity of thought means the board will more fully represent Douglas County families. A 6.4% year-over-year decline in DCSD enrollment at the time of the annual student count in October 2020, almost double the Colorado average,
is a sign that school board balance is desperately needed. We can become a destination school district once again with the help of great school board leaders. Myers, Williams, Winegar, and Peterson will put kids first, preparing them to succeed in life, which helps our whole community flourish. Margaret L. Heidrick Highlands Ranch The COVID pandemic is not over We read with great wonderment recent statements by CDPHE and the Colorado State Board of Education related to the state’s lifting of rules for COVID masks, quarantines and outbreaks in schools and other crowded places. Mutant D now has a new cousin, Mutant D+. In many parts of the country, re-establishing the muchhated mask rule looks inevitable. Vaccination rates are not approaching levels required for herd immunity. And vaccination will not be a requirement for fall entry into Colorado public schools. So … here we are. Mandates thrown out the window. We can pretend the COVID pandemic is over. Bureaucrats can pretend the COVID pandemic is over. The COVID pandemic is not over. The COVID pandemic is not over. The COVID pandemic is not over. Lloyd Guthrie Roxborough Park
And what about those bizarre incidents of people biting and spitting on others in airplanes? One woman recently had to be duct-taped to her seat to prevent others from being hurt! No wonder the airlines have stopped serving alcohol. So even if I wasn’t afraid of getting COVID, who wants to reenter a society with that level of dysfunction? What’s going on with the continued anxiety and downright anger with some people, still? Although it’s sad to admit, we all need to recognize that our mental health needs are potentially at the highest level we’ve seen in our generation. All of us would feel and do better if we participated in mental wellness counseling. Thankfully, our state’s efforts to get more mental health help to folks has increased significantly over the last decade. We still have some therapist shortages, but people need to reach out as well. As for me, I greatly benefit from my periodic counseling sessions.
I look at it as the same as going to my physician; preventive and responsive appointments as necessary. So for now, call me fearful or ridiculous, but I’m still happy living with some precautions till we fully figure out this pandemic thing long-term. As for the fear and rage that are within each of us, but sometimes explode in harmful ways, please do us all a favor and see a therapist. Thank you. It’s hard for all of us, no matter your beliefs and experience. The least we can do is practice good self-care and kindness with each other.

PICKLEBALL’S ON AN

Participation spiked during pandemic year BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
W
hen pickleball started becoming popular, it was a sport that helped aging adults get some exercise by combining aspects of tennis, badminton and table tennis onto one court. Today, the sport remains popular among seniors, but the secret is out about how much fun the game is, and younger generations want a taste. According to the Sport and Fitness Industry Association, pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the nation, with participation increasing a little over 21% in 2020 as Americans searched for ways to stay active during the pandemic. In 2019, participation in the sport grew by 7%. Evidence of the growing popularity of pickleball is not hard to find throughout the Denver metro area. A new court is being installed on the east side of Centennial in Piney Creek. In Castle Rock, the new Cobblestone Park project will include six additional pickleball courts. Luke Ruter, recreation coordinator for the Highlands Ranch Metro District, said one of the biggest challenges as pickleball grows in popularity is keeping up with demand. “It really is a great sport for all ages,” he said. “It is also such a social sport where friendships grow and connections are made.” In Highlands Ranch, on any given day, the distinct popping sound of
Heidi Haze, 19, makes the most of one of her first lessons in pickleball.
paddle hitting ball can be heard as players of all ages battle it out. While taking a break during one of the hottest days of summer, 19-year-old Heidi Haze said she is considered a newbie to pickleball. “I started playing with a friend,” she said. “It looked cool and definitely has a lot more college kids playing. I have to say, the seniors have a lot to teach us. They are way better. It is like golf. It is easy to play, but hard to get good at.” Will Harris of Littleton said he saw people playing at local courts and became interested. Now, he is a regular who is open to learning the tricks of the trade from older players. Harris said he has learned a lot from Joe Billera, whom he calls his “pickleball grandpa.” “I love the community connection I have gained by playing up here,” Harris said. “It is because of pickleball that I got a job. I would say I am a decent player, but there is always room for improvement. I just try to hold my own against the longtime players.”
Will Harris shows pickleball takes speed and skill.
Billera said he plays every day because he enjoys the game, comparing the necessary skill set to playing chess with a lot of motion. The Apex Sports and Recreation Centers have worked over the years to help meet the demand of the growing sport. Headquartered in Arvada, the Apex Park and Recreation District has 24 courts throughout the area. Katie Groke, marketing and communications director for Apex, said the courts are full and there is a “growing appetite” for the sport. “Arvada has kind of become a pickleball hub because we have so many courts and draw residents from all over the region,” Groke said. “It has really become a wildly popular sport for all ages.” Brad Stafford, athletics manager for South Suburban Parks and Recreation, said as younger players take up the sport, they are adding more tournaments and classes. The classes are always at maximum capacity, he said, while noting that the problem is getting qualified instructors. “This is such a specialized sport
with certain rules that it is hard to find people to teach it,” he said. In 2019, Stafford said, classes had about 80 participants. After last year, classes and programs have more than 200. “The secret is out on this sport,” Stafford said. “It’s a sport you can easily play, find your skill level and always have plenty of players to compete against. No matter what age, it is a sport you pick up quickly, get exercise and it’s a lot of fun.” Phyllis Tumey, a retired resident of Castle Rock, said she first learned about the sport from a friend who had played at a retirement community in Arizona. After learning how to play, Tumey said, she immediately loved it. In 2012, Tumey said, there were not a lot of courts in Castle Rock, but a growing number of seniors wanted to play. Tumey said she and another resident worked with the town to turn more tennis courts and in-line skating rinks into pickleball courts. SEE PICKLEBALL, P20

Event takes visitors into the future through immersive art Novo Ita is the biggest event for Spectra Art Space since COVID-19 shut it down BY ALEXIS KIKOEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
It’s hundreds of years in the future. The world has burned, and humans are learning to live in this new reality. It’s not a plot of the latest sci-fi movie; it’s something you can experience for yourself in Denver. Over 25 local artists have come together to create Novo Ita, an immersive experience at Spectra Art Space, 1836 S. Broadway in Denver. “I’m so excited, we’ve been working it for months, since December,” said Sadie Young, Spectra’s owner and founder, and the creative director of Novo Ita. “It’s a narrativedriven art experience. [The story] is
a city in the very distant future that has developed out of what we call in the story ‘The Event.’” “The Event” was inspired by reallife climate change, and depicts a future where the world has burned down and been rebuilt. Their inspiration is an art movement known as Solar Punk. It’s a stark contrast to the more popular genre of Steampunk, which imagines a more dystopian post-apocalyptic version of Earth. In Novo Ita, Earth’s residents learned from their mistakes “and have learned to work with the Earth to create a thriving, sustainable society,” Young explained. Along with the sustainability theme, it was important for Young to use as much recycled material as possible. She estimates that 90% of the material used in the entire exhibition is recycled or reclaimed. Another feature of the experience is the use of augmented reality to tell the story. Visitors can use their

phones to scan codes around the exhibit. Animated characters will pop up and help tell the story. Novo Ita is the biggest event for Spectra Art Space since COVID-19 shut it down in March 2020. “COVID was crazy,” said Young, “There was a moment right at the
beginning where I actually had a ‘for lease’ sign in front of the building. It was almost over.” Spectra survived through help from Paycheck Protection Program loans, live streams, private events, and “our amazing community and the support that we had,” Young said. She encouraged people to check out Novo Ita as a way to support local artists. “Every ticket helps that goal,” she said. “It’s an incredible story inside giant works of art. It’s fun, it’s safe and it’s good for all ages.” Novo Ita runs through September. You can get tickets and find more information at spectraartspace. com/novoita.

CHANGE FROM PAGE 1
after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his 2018 conviction. The actor and comedian had been sentenced to serve three to 10 years in prison after being convicted of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand. On the date of his release, Cosby had served three years. Before, during and after the trial, Cosby has vehemently denied allegations that he used drugs to sexually assault dozens of women. In a 6-1 ruling, the Pennsylvania high court ruled that Cosby should not have faced charges after an agreement with a former prosecutor was made in 2005. In 2015, charges were filed by District Attorney Kevin Steele, charging Cosby with the sexual assault. During the trial, Steele used statements made by Cosby in a civil deposition the actor made under the assumption he was immune from criminal charges. Thomas said that in her opinion, Steele was trying to “right a wrong” made by former prosecutors not taking any action. Now, she fears what she sees as the precedent the ruling could set in future cases involving people accused of rape and sexual assault. According to court records, during the 2018 trial, Thomas was the first to testify against Cosby. With more than 50 women accusing the actor of sexual assault and misconduct, five women were allowed to testify during his trial as “prior bad acts

witnesses.” In her trial testimony, Thomas accused Cosby of assaulting her in 1984 at his ranch when she was 24 years old and an aspriring actress. Thomas testified that she had gone to Cosby’s Pennsylvania home for acting lessons. She testified that after taking a drink of wine, she blacked out and only remembered the next four days in “snapshots,” suspecting the actor drugged her. Now, Thomas said she does not want to focus on the incident, or on Cosby. Rather, she said it is time to change laws to make sure victims do not face what she, Constand and dozens of others have dealt with in what she called the Cosby “fiasco.”
“I feel strongly that the storyline should no longer be about Mr. C,” she said. “He has been given this spotlight and we need to shut it down. We need to talk about where we go from here.” Thomas said Colorado makes her proud as changes continue to be made to help victims of sexual assault and rape. Thomas, who describes herself as a victims’ advocate, said police departments are getting more training to be more sensitive in taking statements from women and men when they first come to report a sex crime. “The big battle right now is getting victims to summon up the courage to come forward and report it,” Thomas said. “It takes a lot just to come forward. Law enforcement is getting the training to handle these cases better than they have before.” Thomas, 61, said she did not come forward when the alleged incident with Cosby happened to her. She said coming forward 30 years later was only to stand behind Constand. Thomas said she has never filed a civil suit against the actor once known as “America’s Dad,” adding that coming forward and testifying has never been about his money. “It was an honor to testify,” Thomas said. “It was the most empowering thing ever. It was about 15 minutes into my testimony before the reality of (Cosby) sitting there hit me. He was not saying anything because it was my turn.” At the state level, Thomas calls herself a “quiet advocate” as she
works with Colorado lawmakers to remove barriers created by statute of limitations laws. Thomas said change takes time, but bills passing through the Colorado legislature have been a step in the right direction. Bipartisan Senate Bill 73, recently signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis, allows survivors of sexual assault to bring a lawsuit against their abuser at any time. The bill is aimed at child-sex victims. Before Polis signed SB 73, victims only had six years after they turned 18 to file a civil suit. “Sexual crimes create a level of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder),” Thomas said. “With that kind of trauma, no one can pick an arbitrary amount of time to say that’s when someone should be over it.” In 2016, Thomas said she played a key role in getting House Bill 1072 signed into Colorado law. The law changed the statute of limitations for people to be charged with rape or sexual assault from 10 years to 20. Thomas said she will continue to be an advocate for eliminating a statute of limitations on all sex crimes completely. In her personal time, Thomas said, she works to help others through music. She says music got her and other victims through her dark days. Now, as a music teacher, she works to help others use music to heal. Thomas said she is currently working on a book, developing a podcast and participated in the documentary, “Erased,” focusing on how drugs are being used to get away with sex crimes in America.

Three-sport athlete prepares for cross country Aidyn Woodall says soccer is her favorite BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Aidyn Woodall has high hopes for the upcoming girls cross country season. Woodall is a three-sport senior athlete at Douglas County High School in Castle Rock and participates in cross country, basketball and soccer. And soccer, she says, would be her pick if she were forced to choose among the three sports. “Honestly, soccer is my favorite sport and cross country is definitely a very close second,” Woodall said. “I am currently looking at both for college, soccer as my main and cross country as a backup. I’m hoping to continue both in college and see where that leads me. “I’m an outside winger (in soccer), which is a running position, so the sports are sort of intertwined. I love going out and scoring goals, more than just running. It has a bigger purpose.” That’s in the future, but for now she is working hard to get ready for the cross country season. Woodall is a three-time regional

champion, made the All-State team all three seasons and was 13th in last season’s state meet. “I ran track last season, which ran late into June,” she explained. “So I was doing that in June, so that was a little bit of cross country training but not what we really need. So I just started back doing morning training, like four to five miles a day. We will start doing sprints in a couple weeks, that’s part of base training like every other day. I will do some track workouts like 800s and repeats. “Once I get those couple miles done, it just feels so nice. That’s what I enjoy cross country for. I just got done with an hour and half practice for soccer so sometimes I wonder if it is a little much, but it usually isn’t a problem. Overtraining hasn’t really been an issue.” Woodall had some of her best cross country times during her freshman and sophomore seasons. “I’ve made state every year since my freshman year so that’s always the goal,” said Woodall. “As far as time, I would like to keep sub 19 the whole season and just work closer to than lower 18 number. I would say my freshman year I was a lot faster and had faster times.” This season Woodall wants to improve on more than just the physical part of cross country running. “I just have to improve the mentality about it all and get in a better mindset before races because I know what I’m capable of and I just need

to get that in my head more before races,” she said. “During races it is always a battle to keep going. “Cross county is a team sport but
its more individual. It’s different than the other sports I do and it is harder to get in the mindset and really focus on running a race.”
Standout offensive tackle goes college shopping Jake Maikkula still has senior year of high school ahead BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Valor Christian’s Jake Maikkula is a highly regarded football player who was all over the United States in June. Maikkula, a 6-foot-6, 270-pound senior offensive tackle, has been working hard in team workouts and in the weight room but he had to do that between official and unofficial visits to eight colleges during June. He’s stopped to look at schools such as California, Colorado, Duke, Nebraska, Missouri and Virginia among his recruiting visits, and he’s received offers from 29 different college football programs. “I would just like to improve my game throughout this season and get myself in great shape to go off to college,” said Maikkula, a rising senior at Valor. “I’m still working on figuring it out where to go but I

should be committing by the end of the month. I’m really excited about that.” Maikkula is versatile and athletic enough to play any position on the offensive line, except he has not
played much as a center. “I’ll play anywhere as long as I can get out onto the field,” he added. In the meantime he’s been preparing for the upcoming season and hopes some type of normality returns to the game after the COVID concerns last fall. “I’m excited to play in the outof-state games we have planned this season,” Maikkula said. “We couldn’t do that last year because of COVID.” Valor, with star running back Gavin Sawchuk, Maikkula and linebacker Jordan Norwood among the standouts who will be returning for another season, should be one of the state’s best Class 5A teams. “I think we have the best team in the state without a doubt,” said Maikkula. “We have incredible talent and an incredible hard-working team. We have a great group to be around and I just enjoy showing up every day and working with the guys. I’m excited for it to pan out this year. “We’ll play our game and we’ll be all set. We’ve got everything lined up and we just have to go out and work hard.”

WILDFIRES FROM PAGE 1
Schumacher said it is not just Colorado, Western states have had year-round fire problems since 2002 as average temperatures have crept up and annual precipitation levels have decreased. Schumacher said the increased temperatures are here to stay and the impact on the atmosphere is real. “In the mountains and western Colorado, the increasing temperatures puts more stress on vegetation and soil,” he said. “When the air is hotter, it is thirstier for water. The atmosphere then wants to pull the moisture out of the soils and crops. Even if you have a normal amount of precipitation, it does not go as far.” Along the Front Range, Schumacher said, 2021 has been a good year for snowfall and precipitation, but the effects of 2020 carry over. In years like 2020, Schumacher said, the exceedingly hot temperatures with a lower-than-average level of snow and rainfall become the perfect setting for wildfires. In 2020, an estimated 700,000 acres burned in the state as the Cameron Peak Fire, East Troublesome Fire and the Pine Gulch Fire blazed through Colorado lands. So far in 2021, the incident information system, InciWeb, estimates more than 25,000 acres have burned in seven different wildfires reported throughout the state. Daniel Beveridge, a wildfire mitigation specialist for the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS), said climate change has created a new reality as officials manage state forest lands. “With it being warmer and drier, it only intensifies fires, allowing them to burn faster,” he said. “The most important thing for people using public lands is to follow guidelines set by local jurisdictions. These warnings are not just created on a whim. They are not taken lightly, and they are important.” According to the U.S. Department
Firefighters from South Metro Fire Rescue Brush 33, based in Centennial, push back against the Cameron Peak Fire in the Arapahoe and Roosevelt national forests COURTESY PHOTO in August 2020.
of the Interior, about 90% of wildfires are human caused, with the other 10% coming from nature such as lightning strikes. It is important that people take responsibility and realize that an overheated car parked in dry weeds can spark a major fire, Beveridge said. Evergreen Fire Rescue Chief Mike Weege said covering more than 120 square miles of land in parts of Jefferson, Park and Clear Creek counties presents a lot of challenges. Besides climate issues, Weege said the current state of some of the state’s forest lands provides added fuel that allows a wildfire to get big fast. Dead, dry trees covering the forest floor have been a factor over the last few years, he said. “We have continued to see this unhealthy overgrowth in forests,” he said. “Add that to the increased heat we are dealing with, and you have more fires.” Last year, Weege said, fire crews fought the Elephant Butte Fire in the middle of a populated area. While the fire was contained after 54 acres, Weege said it could have been a lot worse. Einar Jensen, South Metro Fire Rescue risk reduction specialist, said the “wildfire season” label is creating a false sense of security. South Metro Fire provides fire protection for 300 square miles in parts

of Jefferson, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. “It does not matter if it is in the hotter, drier part of the summer or in the winter, if the fuel for the fire is ready to go, it’s ready to go,” Jensen said. In Castle Rock, Fire Chief Norris Croom said preparedness is not about time of year, but about being ready all the time. That includes coordinating with other fire departments to create a regional approach for the moment smoke is sighted. In 2020, the Chatridge 2 Fire burned more than 460 acres near Highlands Ranch. Croom said if it were not for the coordinated effort between Castle Rock and South Metro Fire Rescue, more land and homes would have been destroyed. In total, Castle Rock Fire and Rescue covers more than 66 square miles of land, including 34 square miles of the incorporated town, and 32 square miles of unincorporated land surrounding the town. Hatlestad said when a report of smoke or fire sightings comes in, all departments along then entire Front
Range are on edge. “Fire sees no political boundaries,” he said. “A wildfire crosses town and county boundaries in minutes. All fires start small, but in today’s climate, they can become massive quickly.” In 2020, the wind, heat and dry air created the perfect environment for the East Toublesome Fire to cover 100,000 acres in less than 24 hours, Hatlestad said. Weege said Evergreen relies heavily on state assistance if a fire breaks out in the forest areas. Once a fire gets into the trees, Weege said it not only spreads quickly, but requires the state’s air assistance to fight it from above. In the more suburban communities, Thornton Fire Lt. Perry Otero said the department does not have a lot of calls for wildfires, but they believe in a coordinated, cooperative approach for the good of the Front Range. Otero said Thornton fire crews are trained to handle wildland fires and are able to send help to other counties and districts as needed.
South Metro fire crews head to California Wildland firefighters to help as Western states battle worsening blazes STAFF REPORT
South Metro Fire Rescue crews have gone to California as part of a united effort in fighting wildfires in the Western states. According to the national Interagency Fire Center (IFC), more than 12,000 firefighters have been deployed throughout the country to fire nearly 60 large fires burning, including the Beckwourth Complex in California, which has burned more than 100,000 acres. Connor Christian, communications specialist for South Metro Fire Rescue, said the wildland team sent to California is based out of Station p20, a newly built fire station in Highlands Ranch. “We always have firefighters on a
deployment ready list in case wildfires start in the state of Colorado or in states around the country,” Christian said. “When our department receives an order for wildland resources, we will send a variety of options.” South Metro serves a large expanse of south Arapahoe and north Douglas counties. In a Twitter post, firefighters Wes Polk, Travis McConnell, Todd Bramer and John Peterson bid farewell to home, heading to California for 14 days. Christian said when this crew returns, if more help is still needed, South Metro will send out another crew. Christian said in some cases, crews only get a few hours’ notice to deploy because a fire is growing out of control. In this case, Christian said the four-man crew got notice overnight that they would be shipping out by morning on July 13. Christian said a wildland deployment can consist of multiple fire operations responsibilities, includ-

Commissioners also recently approved a $144,720 contract with Health Management Associates to complete a Community Health Assessment and a Public Health Improvement Plan, necessary steps in forming a new health department. By the end of the year, the county is scheduled to have completed both of those steps along with having a recommendation for implementation, promotion and monitoring of the improvement plan.

Colorado Symphony plans in-person season September will be start of 49 live indoor concerts
said Anthony Pierce, the orchestra’s chief artistic officer. “This season will be a true celebration for our musicians and patrons alike, providing live symphonic music and shared concert experiences that will be thrilling for people of all ages.” Guests can buy season subscriptions now, as well as “Flex Passes,” or six-ticket vouchers for prime seats to any show of the season. Individual tickets will go on sale Sept. 1.
BY MAGGIE DONAHUE DENVERITE
Colorado Symphony has announced its 2021-22 season. Starting in September, the orchestra will perform 49 live indoor concerts featuring a lineup of renowned guest artists at Boettcher Concert Hall in downtown Denver. The season is the orchestra’s first regular programming since COVID-19 closures began in 2020. In the last year and a half, the orchestra has put on several virtual performances and played 18 live shows at Red Rocks. Members have also performed in small ensemble concerts at venues like the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Evenings Al Fresco, the Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleria and Denver Zoo. The season will open Sept. 1719 with a guest performance by Grammy-winning pianist Emanuel Ax, who will join the orchestra to perform pieces like Chopin’s Second

a potential overhaul of compensation methodology won’t happen until after the 2021-22 school year. District staff presented their ideas throughout several board of education meetings and study sessions in May and June. Board directors, who almost all agree that the system for paying educators needs work, welcomed the multistep process laid before them. “I have seen huge progress in adjust this horrible range (of salaries) that we had before when we first inherited this mess,” said Director Kevin Leung at a study session on May 25. From 2012 through 2016, the district kept switching to different methods for paying teachers, from market-based pay to salary
bands to salary ranges, explained Amanda Thompson, chief human resources officer, at the May 25 study session. The district took its first steps toward the current compensation methodology, also called a “salary schedule” — which divides licensed staff into different categories, general, hard to hire and specialist, who are paid differently based on years of experience and credentials — in 2017. Still, salary ranges weren’t ideal, so the district asked voters to approve a mill levy override in 2018 to generate additional property tax revenue to benefit educators’ salaries. The measure was successful. Despite all the progress, the district had to shrink its budget during the COVID-19 pandemic. Coming out of the pandemic, the district first needed to make up for losses. Staff received one-time payments in June to offset income
lost to furlough days during the 2020-21 school year. No furlough days are planned in the upcoming school year. Also, the 2021-22 school year budget, which the board adopted June 22, set aside a $15.7 million compensation pool to give every licensed staff member a 4% pay boost. The boost brings all staff at or above a new base salary of $43,000 for general licensed staff. “We believed it was important to make progress in terms of adjusting our current ranges because $39,000 is just not an acceptable starting salary,” said Thompson, referring to last year’s base salary, at the May 25 study session. These are just temporary fixes, though, as the district eyes a change in the way it determines people’s pay. Chief Financial Officer Kate Kataska explained to the board at the May 25 study session, “While
employee pay has increased over time, the underlying ranges or the salary schedule has not always followed suit. So, in some cases we have pay schedules that have not been updated in as many as six years.” So, the district needs to go back and review employees’ years of experience and credentials to determine new salary ranges. Kataska said the goal is to complete that review by the end of the 2021-22 school year, so the new salary schedules can take effect in the 2022-23 school year.
