Man found dead after 5-hour police standoff Authorities received calls about man’s state of mind BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A tip from a suicide hotline led to a standoff between the Castle Rock Police Department and an unidentified man on Sept. 7. After more than five hours, a police robot found the man dead in what authorities said was an apparent suicide. The standoff lasted hours into the night, preventing residents in the area of Red Hawk Drive and Wolfensberger Road from going home, or keeping those who were at their homes from leaving due to a stay-in-place CodeRed alert. According to the Castle Rock police report, officers had received multiple calls about the man in the days before the Sept. 7 incident. Officers’ initial contact with the man occurred on Sept. 6, the day before the standoff, during a welfare check in the 1400 block of Red Hawk Drive after a friend contacted authorities expressing concern about the man’s state of mind. During the Sept. 6 welfare check, the police report said the man refused to meet with officers and became agitated with their presence. Not wanting to make the situation worse, officers opted to leave, according to the report. Later that night, officers again tried to contact the man via telephone. According to the report, during the call that lasted nearly 1-1/2 hours, the officer worked to convince the Castle Rock man to get help for his continued suicidal thoughts. At that time, the police report said he again declined assistance, with the officer agreeing to check in on him again on Sept. 7. On the morning of Sept. 7, the Castle Rock Police Department was contacted by a suicide hotline that stated they had been on the phone with the man who was threatening to shoot himself, police said. Castle Rock police said they were also contacted by a family member who said the man was making suicidal statements

and creating concerning posts on social media. An officer again reached out to the man via telephone and spoke with him, police said. He continued to make suicidal statements and refused to meet with officers, threatening to shoot at officers if they came to his home, the report said. According to the report, after an hour of negotiating, the man told officers he was going to shoot himself, and a gunshot was heard over the phone. There was no response from the subject and police and medical personnel were dispatched to his residence to render medical aid. Upon arrival, the police report said officers approached the man’s apartment. The man, who was alive and uninjured, began threatening to shoot at officers on scene, claiming he had multiple weapons in his possession, the report said. The Castle Rock police report said that following the threats of violence and claims of having multiple weapons, a perimeter was established. Not knowing if the gunshot fired by the subject had entered an adjacent apartment, officers began contacting neighbors to check their welfare, evacuate them or have them shelter in place, the report said. The Douglas County Regional SWAT team was contacted and negotiations with the man continued. According to the report, over a five-hour period, crisis negotiators asked the man to exit and surrender to officers. These requests were all met with refusal. Several tactics were employed in the attempt to secure the safe surrender of the subject, including repeated announcements over a loudspeaker, telephone negotiations, sound and light diversion devices, deployment of chemical irritants and the breaching of several doors and windows. No gunshots were fired by officers, police said. After all efforts to get the man to surrender were exhausted, a robot was deployed inside the residence. The robot found the man lying dead inside, according to the report. The Douglas County Coroner’s Office arrived on scene and is handling the death investigation.

State law guides county’s new health agency Choosing a health director a key first task for board BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Douglas County proceeds with breaking away from the Tri-County Health Department and building its own public health agency, the next major step for the agency will be selecting a public health director. The director, who will serve as the head of the county health department, will be required by state statute to hire all personnel for the new department, issue public health emergency orders and enforce all public health laws, among other duties. Both the county director’s responsibilities and qualifications for the role are specifically detailed in sColorado law. Finding someone who fits those requirements will be one of the primary tasks for Douglas County’s new board of health. “I would say it’s going to be among the first things it’s important for them to address,” said Barbara Drake, deputy Douglas

County manager. The three Douglas County commmisioners agreed at a Sept. 7 work session that they would name two of their own to the health board -- commissioners Lora Thomas and George Teal -- as well as Dr. Linda Fielding, Kim Muramoto and Doug Benevento. Fielding and Muramoto serve on Tri-County’s board of health and Benevento is a member of the county’s public health advisory committee. At press time, the commissioners planned to make those appointments official at their Sept. 14 meeting. Douglas County commissioners voted Sept. 7 to officially form their own health department Sept. 7 after more than a year of considering the action amid county leaders’ longstanding objections to Tri-County Health’s COVID-safety rules, including mask-wearing mandates. Commissioners signaled in July 2020 that they planned to end their nearly 55-year relationship with TriCounty, then put that plan on hold in November 2020 when the agency agreed to let the county opt out of public health orders such as mask mandates and other COVID-related

restrictions. The county renewed the plan to leave when Tri-County’s Board of Health voted Aug. 30 to no longer allow counties to opt out of public health orders and imposed an indoor mask mandate for all students and staff at schools. Tri-County previously served Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. After Douglas County announced its intent to form its

Requirements for new director Colorado’s Public Health Act of 2008 provides specific guidelines for local health departments, which each county is required by law to have through either a countyspecific department or an agency representing multiple areas, like Tri-County. One section of the law is dedicated to the selection of a public health director, who serves at the pleasure of the local board of health and as the head of the department. The board of health can choose among physicians, physician assistants, public health nurses or other qualified public health professionals to act in the role. Whomever is chosen must have at least five of the past 10 years “of successful and responsible administrative experience in public health or a closely related field, including at least two years experience in supervising public health professionals,” according to the statute.

Mask compliance investigated in county’s schools Complaints, comments allege rule violations at some campuses

MORE ON THE MASK DEBATE ONLINE

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Comments about masking students and complaints alleging some Douglas County schools are falling out of compliance with a local mask mandate are pouring in, according to the Tri-County Health Department. The health agency serving Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams counties was planning to contact four schools in Douglas County after receiving complaints alleging noncompliance with its rule that all people 2 and older wear masks inside schools as a COVID safety measure, Tri-County Health’s public affairs officer Mellissa Sager said. The agency declined to specify -which schools it was contacting because staff are still determining whether any violations occurred. The agency also declined to say whether the schools are run by the Douglas County School District or

Since this newspaper went to press, Colorado Community Media reporters have been following fast-moving developments in the ongoing debate over school COVID-safety mask-wearing policies and the Tri-County Health Department. For the latest news, visit ColoradoCommunityMedia.com. are charter schools. Tri-County Health staff are continuing to process submissions to learn more information about allegations of noncompliance, and to sort out formal complaints from general comments about masking in schools, Sager said. Tri-County Health operates on a complaint-based system when it comes to enforcing health orders. Once a complaint is received, TCHD staff focus on making sure entities are aware of the health order, understand its requirements and know they can talk with Tri-County Health about any concerns they have with following it. “We are education first, always. We are not interested in penalizing,

especially our critical schools and child cares,” Sager said. To help inform people, the agency has updated its COVID-19 dashboard with pediatric data, something Sager said was widely requested from community members. COVID-19 incidence rates among children ages 6 to 11 in Tri-County Health’s jurisdiction skyrocketed in the latter half of August and rose across all pediatric age groups. Douglas County’s trends mirrored the entire jurisdiction’s. The Douglas County School District had 18 COVID-19 outbreaks for the current school year, far more than any other district in TriCounty’s three-county jurisdiction, according to information updated Sept. 10. “We think that this is a small lift that we can easily make to keep people safe and keep kids in school,” Sager said. Masking mandate still applies Tri-County’s inquiry into school masking comes as Douglas County commissioners are rapidly working to withdraw from Tri-County Health, largely over its COVIDsafety rules, including mask wear-

ing in schools. Commissioners have sparred with the health agency about COVID-19 mitigation strategies throughout the pandemic. The dispute reached another boiling point when the health agency removed counties’ ability to opt out of the masking mandate for schools and childcare centers. Douglas County considered that a breach in an agreement it reached with Tri-County Health earlier in the pandemic, in which the health agency agreed to let counties opt out of health orders. But the split is not yet final, and at press time the county remains within Tri-County Health’s jurisdiction. Sager said the masking order is in effect locally until Douglas County has seated its new health board and its members meet. After that, she said, the mask order will no longer apply to Douglas County and the new board would have deciding power over future health orders. “It is tough, because I know people are confused right now,” Sager said.

Castle Rock Water recognized for excellence Mechanic Casey Devol receives individual recognition BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With purified, reuse water flowing into Castle Rock homes this summer, the town was already celebrating the ability to supply high-quality drinking water to customers. Accolades for the success at Castle Rock Water continued last week when the department received recognition for Outstanding Water Treatment Plant by the Rocky Mountain Section of the American Water Works Association. The Rocky Mountain Section is the regional division of the American Water Works Association, the principal association for scientific and educational opportunities dedicated to managing and treating water. The Rocky Mountain Section represents water industry organizations in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. Castle Rock won in the large department category, which includes programs serving more than 50,000 people. The award was given specifically for the operations at the Plum Creek Water Purification Facility, which has developed the advanced treatment processes to accommodate purified reuse water.

Purified reuse water started flowing into Castle Rock homes this summer.

“This award for our flagship plant, in addition to receiving the Commitment Award from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in 2020, shows how our work at Castle Rock Water is effectively leading the industry,” said Castle Rock Water Assistant Director Tim Friday. The association also presented Castle Rock Water plant mechanic Casey Devol with the Water Treatment Maintenance Award for his design of new processes to clean pipelines. The annual award is given to a maintenance professional who demonstrates exceptional performance, dedication and teamwork. Devol was also recognized for his contribution to the Water to Wire efficiency study to reduce energy usage and pumping costs. The local and national recognition

Mark Marlowe, director of Castle Rock Water, explains the water purification process PHOTOS BY THELMA GRIMES for the award-winning facility.

for Castle Rock Water comes as efforts to invest in the town’s sustainable water future continues. Dating back to 2006, the town invested $208 million to build the reusable water facility. Part of that investment included the construction of the $60 million Plum Creek Purification Facility. Reuse water will account for one-third of the community’s water supply and will be a big step in providing a sustainable water supply as the town grows and drought conditions are expected to continue. In addition to the American Water Works Association awards,

Castle Rock Water also received recognition for its efforts in environmental stewardship. This is the third consecutive year the water provider has received a Gold Level in the Environmental Leadership Program by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Reducing energy consumption, increasing water conservation efforts and instituting purified reuse water were among the primary considerations for the award.

Wildlife fencing corridor planned along I-25 Barrier is intended to decrease number of vehicle/animal collisions BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an effort to decrease a growing number of vehicle/animal collisions along the I-25 corridor in Douglas County, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will be partnering with other entities to build fencing. CDOT is partnering with Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the City of Castle Pines, the Town of Castle Rock and Douglas County to create the safety plan along I-25 near Castle Pines and Castle Rock.

According to CDOT, recent and historical incidents of vehicle/animal collisions along the I-25 corridor in Douglas County, paired with growing public concern for safety in the area, led to a multi-agency plan to install 16 miles of wildlife fencing on the east and west sides of I-25 from the Ridgegate exit in Lone Tree to the Meadows/Founders exit in Castle Rock. CDOT will begin fence construction in February 2022, with construction expected to take an estimated three months. The $1.5 million project is being funded through CDOT. Melissa Hoelting, the Castle Rock community relations managers, said the town will not be contributing any funds and is only a cooperating partner for the project. Prior to the fence installation,

project partners will amplify public education encouraging drivers to take extra caution as they travel through the corridor, especially during the fall migratory period, which CDOT officials said is high in October and November. CDOT and Douglas County are also collaborating on posting overhead electronic message boards along the corridor to inform drivers who may not be aware of the potential danger. Besides fencing, Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials are also working to educate drivers on how to react and prevent collisions with animals. Wildlife officials say drivers should be on heightened alert at all times where wildlife is more active, particularly at dusk and dawn. If drivers do see wildlife in the

roadway, wildlife officials say they should not swerve as they are more likely to wreck when trying to avoid an animal. It is best to slow down if possible and look for other wildlife as most travel in groups. According to a recent article by Pew, a think tank that aims to improve public policy through research and analysis, Colorado is among the top states in the nation in protecting wildlife migration corridors. A wildlife mitigation system installed along Highway 9 between Silverthorne and Kremmling saw wildlife/vehicle collisions decrease by more than 90%. CDOT officials said they expect to have similar success in decreasing vehicle/animal collisions once fencing is in place in the Castle Pines and Castle Rock area.

Climb honors the fallen, 20 years later Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb maxed out attendance BY SHANNA FORTIER MAXCY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The American flag flew high above the red rocks Sept. 11, as the notes from “Amazing Grace” rang out from the bagpipes and drums below. Twelve hundred firefighters and community members stood in silence before ascending the ramp into Red Rocks Amphitheatre to begin the Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb — a climb of 110 stories in honor of the firefighters who died on Sept. 11, 2001. “It’s been 20 years since September 11, 2001 and so this year is extra special because last year we didn’t have a climb due to the pandemic,” said Shawn Duncan, captain at West Metro Fire and coordinator of the Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb. “So the fact that we can get together and climb in person today and remember the 343 firefighters that we lost and 3,000 Americans 20 years ago is huge.” This years event was capped at 1,200 registrants plus children to allow for social distancing. In the past, the event has hosted about 4,000 participants. “Looking out in the crowd, there’s some of you here that were too young to remember or weren’t even born yet,” Duncan said before the

here to remember. We made a promise to never forget 20 years ago and this is how we keep that promise.” One of those participants that wasn’t born yet is Adeline Robinson, 17. Robinson is in the firefighter training program at Warren Tech. She said even though 9/11 happened before she was born, it’s still important to her to honor the firefighters and show respect for the profession she is training for. While there was no official in-person event in 2020, some firefighters like Raul Alvarez, with Timberline Fire Protection District, climbed anyway. “We did it last year when nobody was here because of Covid,” Alvarez said. “We still came up and did our own. There were still a couple of firefighters here. I like doing this just the memorial of fellow firefight-

ers that have passed and everybody, the victims. That’s why I walk. Just to memorialize them.” For some, the event has become about more than just remembering the firefighters lost on 9/11. “It’s become about everything; remembering everybody and all the people that are special to us,” said Mike Simons, of West Metro Fire. Simons climbed this year in honor of Zach Lewis, a young firefighter with Rattlesnake Fire, who died in as accident recently. “He was always up here climbing with us and he was a young kid who had a great future ahead of him and he died tragically, so he climbs with me today,” Simons said, in reference to the photo of Lewis tucked into his helmet.

Duncan said that even though 20 years has past, this event is still important because FDNY continues to lose firefighters due to 9/11 related illnesses and families are still dealing with the loss and tragedy of that day. “I saw someone post something the other day that said, I miss Sept. 12, 2001,” Duncan said to the crowd at Red Rocks. And that really struck a nerve with me. I’ve been having really hard time the last couple months with the decisiveness in our country right now. But think back to Sept. 12, 2001, the only thing that mattered is that we were Americans and we were people and it really brought us all together.”

Lone Tree remembers 9/11 victims in ceremony Mayor honors first responders, calls for moment of silence BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The official 9/11 Flag of Honor bearing the names of victims who died at the World PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS Trade Center hangs in Lone Tree on Sept. 11, 2021.

Kathy Keith sat at her desk on that New York City morning 20 years ago, her office about 20 blocks from the World Trade Center. The building boasted a perfect view of the twin towers, she said. “I remember someone saying, ‘Oh, a plane just hit the World Trade Center,’ so we all run to the window,” she said. “And we see the smoking north tower.” Keith and her coworkers stood there, all staring at the surreal sight of smoke billowing across what had been a clear blue sky. “At that moment, a fireball goes up and a second plane had hit the south tower,” she said. “One person next to me said, “We’re under attack. I’m leaving.’ Another person brought in a TV, so we can see what’s going on.” People tried calling family but there was no service. They caught news that a plane had struck the Pentagon as well. Then the south tower began to collapse. “So, we’re watching out the window, we’re watching the TV and the live version of it collapsing,” she said. “You could just see it go down and we’re just standing there going, ‘Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.’” ‘Lost innocence’ Keith recounted her story standing near the back of a crowd as Lone Tree’s remembrance ceremony for the 20-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, wrapped up. She leaned against a South Metro Fire Rescue truck as a couple listened intently, and later told it again for Colorado Community Media.

Officers listen as a remembrance ceremony for 9/11 in Lone Tree on Sept. 11, 2021.

She said she appreciated remarks from Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet at the ceremony. The mayor gave first responders a round of applause. She called for a moment of silence as a Boy Scout troop raised the official 9/11 Flag of Honor, bearing the names of the 2,983 people who lost their lives in the 2001 and 1993 attacks on the World Trade Center. Lone Tree was one of 60 communities across the county to participate in a remembrance ceremony planned by Global Youth Justice. After the flag raising, Lone Tree Teen Court members read the names of 50 victims. Many people lost loved ones on Sept. 11, Millet said. They lost out on memories. “Many of us lost innocence that day,” she said. Everyone old enough to be aware SEE 9/11, P11

at the time remembers where they were and what they were doing when they first learned about the attacks. Millet vowed that the nation will never forget 9/11. “Instead of breaking us, that evil act united us,” Millet said. Remembering victims Keith made it home from the battered city by trekking to the office building of a friend, who then joined her in taking a ferry to New Jersey, Keith’s home of 15 years. “The only way to get out was either you walk across a bridge or something, or you take a ferry,” she said. National Guard members watched over the

packed boat as passengers looked to where the World Trade Center once stood. The crowd remained completely silent, Keith said. “This was New York City, where it’s usually loud and noisy. And it was just silence and we’re on the ferry just watching the smoke,” she said. Keith relocated to Lone Tree later that month and has been a resident for the past 20 years. Leaving New York City stirred mixed emotions. The community came together after the attacks, something she called an amazing thing to witness. She had not been to a memorial or remembrance ceremony since. This year she decided to attend one, and she was glad she did. Keith called hearing children read victim’s names impactful for her. “It hit me how many people from New York, New Jersey,” she said, “how many people were affected.”

Decaffeinate and de-escalate

n any given day I will usually have one or two cups of coffee in the morning. On those days where I have three or four, I feel a very palpable difference … I am wired. I also notice WINNING that I am a bit more WORDS anxious and a lot more impatient. For me, I cannot drink coffee at night for this very reason. I would be up all night. We all respond differently to caffeine, some get wired like I Michael Norton do, and others can drink coffee all day without losing the ability to fall asleep at night. As I look around at what is happening in our country and around the world, I feel like maybe, just maybe there are way too many over-caffeinated people out there. Violent crimes, verbal attacks, road rage, stadium brawls, random acts of violence and other assaults on humanity are occurring with greater frequency, and in some cases, an all-time high.

I am not a clinical expert, but anxiousness, fear, doubt and worry seem to be at an all-time high as well. It’s like we are going to our favorite coffee shop asking for a double shot of impatience with extra anxiety. Or we are making our own coffee at home, maybe the double espresso anger brew with some steamed “Hurray for me and the heck with you” creamer. And that’s just the coffee version. For others it may be the caffeinated soda we drink or the highly caffeinated beverages we consume. Would we like a large or super-size cup of revenge with that burger and fries? And if we really need a jolt, maybe we pick up a shot of the five-hour hostility, you know that little bottle with a kick in it. What could possibly be going on at a baseball game that could stir such hatred amongst the fans? And are we talking about the fans at the World Series, or parents at a Little League baseball game? Are we coming together to enjoy the great American pastime, “baseball, hot dogs and animosity pie?”

I am not sure about you, but I am seeing more and more road rage on our streets. Offended drivers attacking one another, flipping each other off, riding so close on the other one’s bumper to try an intimidate them. It’s like they look down and see that their bitterness tank is full, and they feel compelled to try and empty it. Wouldn’t it be better to attend a game and get an order of nachos with a side of jalapenos and good sportsmanship? Or perhaps drivethru at our favorite coffee house and ask for an iced latte with a double shot of kindness. Maybe we can look down at the gauges on our dashboard and see that our gentleness needle is right where it is supposed to be as we just let others drive on by, even letting them get in front of us. Did you ever notice that when you scream or yell or threaten others that they now pay attention to you? No, of course you haven’t because that never happens. What does happen is that the other person usually does one of two things, they shut down or they

stand up and fight back. And in either case, nothing gets resolved. Instead, there is just lots of shoving, pushing, name-calling, brain damage and heartache. Look, caffeine is certainly not the problem, it was simply used for illustrative purposes. But we are acting out in ways that would suggest that we could all use a little decaf right now. A supersize decaf with two packets of “I love you” and some extra forgiveness while we refuel our hearts with understanding and patience. Isn’t it time to pause and take a bit of the edge off? Are we sweating the small stuff, the big stuff and everything in between? I would love to hear your thoughts and your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and remember that when we decaffeinate, we are more likely to deescalate, and then it really will be a better than good year.

Rounding third base as fourth quarter nears

he fourth quarter of the year begins soon. Investors are still on the edge of their seats concerned about potential tax law changes and any Federal Reserve FINANCIAL policy that might spook the financial STRATEGIES markets. The economy is open … or is it? Pandemic concerns continue, schools are open, but some have reverted back to remote learning. Many employees continue to work Patricia Kummer from home. No wonder it feels like we are riding an economic seesaw. A deeper look boils down to a few distinct issues that affect investors: What will the Fed do? And will COVID-19 and its variants shut down the economy in a big way again? Our Chief Economist, Bill Greiner, believes our current elevated inflation numbers are

largely based on the partial reopening, supply chain issues and pent-up demand for goods and services. This will likely calm down over time, Greiner says. This is key for the Fed to decide whether inflation is enough of a sustainable threat to raise interest rates in the near term. Last year, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell launched the framework to hopefully lead us back to more normal policy at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. That may be slightly derailed this year based on an uneven labor market and surge of the coronavirus Delta variant, per Bloomberg News. It may be difficult for investors to be patient and watch for meaningful opportunities, rather than second-guessing how the remainder of the year will play out. The uncertainty in employment, education, inflation and interest rates may be here for a while. The first eight months of the year produced above-average investment returns, so what lies

in store for the last few months of the year? You could think of this in a baseball analogy, rounding second base and safe at third. Now, do you wait for someone else to hit the ball? Or do you steal home plate before the next out? Think of what you don’t have control over and when to take action. Significant unknowns remain with the delta variant and how this will affect the economy in the long run. Many businesses feel they are behind by a year and a half by now, and some employees currently plan to remain home until next January. The macroeconomic picture is murky with a burgeoning federal deficit and global ramifications from China in addition to the Fed story and inflation.¹ The positives that help balance out the negatives are that we have high labor productivity, a strong money supply and positive corporate earnings. Although we expect to see housing prices and corporate earnings start to slow,

the first half of the year showed enough growth for an entire year. Investors and their advisers should focus on the fundamentals, which show continued positive equity markets with monetary policy, GDP growth and earnings all improving. However, every good financial plan should have flexibility for when those unknowns become reality. Make sure your plan is in order as we start the final quarter of a very unusual year. Check and see if you should adjust your taxable income, 401(k) contributions or realize capital gains or losses before year-end. There are a lot of opportunities to take better control of your finances before there could be changes next year, in interest rates, inflation or tax policy.

Study: 1st-time homelessness doubled in area over past year BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Every year, the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative conducts a “Point in Time Count” to determine how many people are experiencing homelessness in the Denver area. This year’s report found a “drastic increase” in the number of people in the Denver metro area experiencing homelessness for the first time, a surge that surveyors attributed to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. You can read a snapshot of the report online at tinyurl.com/MetroDenverHomelessness. The full MDHI Point in Time report for 2021, which will include individualized data for Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties, will be published this fall. “In 2020 there were 1,273 people in shelters that were experiencing homelessness for the first time,” said Matt Meyer, MDHI’s executive director. “This year, that number doubled to 2,530 demonstrating the devastating effects of COVID-19 on the stability of our neighbors.” This year’s survey was conducted on a single day in February. MDHI found that in the Denver metro area, 5,530 people were staying in shelters, about a 1,000-person increase from last year’s study, which was conduct-

ed before the pandemic started. Benjamin Dunning with the advocacy group Denver Homeless Out Loud (DHOL) told Rocky Mountain PBS that the true number of people experiencing homelessness is probably even higher. Dunning explained that the pandemic made counting the number of unhoused people difficult, and that because the results of the Point in Time survey are self-reported, many unhoused people do not respond to the survey and are therefore not counted. This year, MDHI did not include the number of unsheltered people in their study because of COVID-19. In 2020, there were 1,561 people experiencing unsheltered homelessness

in the Denver metro area. Advocates believe that number has increased over the past year. “The number of folks ... that are out on the street probably tripled,” Dunning estimated. Nearly three-quarters of the people experiencing sheltered homelessness were staying in emergency shelters. MDHI said individual sheltered homelessness increased by 27 percent over the last year. “Unlike other parts of the country where shelter space was decreased during COVID-19, our community worked diligently to meet this challenge and stood up additional shelter spaces to help ensure the safety of those who needed it most,” Meyer added. “We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication of our providers in responding to increased need while crafting creative solutions to meet the demand for those experiencing homelessness.” Recently, the City of Denver’s Department of Housing Stability released a five-year plan to address problems surrounding housing and homelessness in the city. One of HOST’s 14 main goals is to reduce unsheltered homelessness by half.

“While the 2021 (Point in Time Count) did not include a count of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness, due to the circumstances related to the pandemic, job loss experienced during the public health emergency increased the number of people living in unstable conditions and losing their homes,” the HOST plan reads. The HOST plan also shows that there were more unsheltered homeless people in Denver last year — nearly 1,000 people in Denver County — since at least 2014. “We know that unsheltered homelessness has become a more visible presence in Denver even as we are sheltering more people nightly than ever before,” the authors of the plan wrote. For more information, you can read the full five-year plan online at tinyurl.com/Denver5YearPlan.

DAM’s ‘Oracles of the Pink Universe’ is magical exhibit Ndzube invents intriguing world through paintings, sculpture BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A delightful small vacation is available at the Denver Art Museum through Oct. 10. Simphiewe Ndzube’s paintings and sculpture are shown in a colorful exhibit — “Oracles of the Pink Universe” — which offers a trip into the imaginary world of a young South African artist, born in 1990, who currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He has invented an intriguing world and presents images from it that reflect an arts education which blends European imagery, including “The Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1504), with Xhosa tribal mythology and other segments from here and there that reflect colorful imagined worlds — and today’s political realities. The painting “Bloom of the Corpse Flower” from this exhibit is a recent acquisition by the Denver Art Museum, getting DAM in on the ground floor with a talented young artist who is just holding his first U.S. museum exhibit, but is expected to become a big name in future years.

This plant appears in several paintings in “Oracles of the Pink Universe” and DAM director Christoph Heinrich writes in an introduction to the show catalog: “Ndzube’s work interrogates the legacies of apartheid based on his personal experiences, his Xhosa heritage and his knowledge of indigenous African and Eastern art.” In addition to application of paints, the artist at times includes actual garments, bits of fabric and other objects in collage technique. Colors are brilliant and sartorial styling is varied — we find a dude striding toward us in a pink suit and brown fedora, while in “A Visit to a Mine Moon,” a headless character with black and white checked gingham shirt and yellow glove approaches one who floats upside down, with a left leg that turns into a snake. Above them, a third fellow floats, rowing a boat with oars capped with yellow gloves. On the next page, we find a fellow who looks as though he has a secret as he’s surrounded by dripping mustard colored clouds.

Pandemic, concerns about sustainability shape style trends BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

omentous events are often a force in shaping fashion trends and industry standards. Locally, Denver metro area fashion gurus say they are seeing new trends amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and as environmental sustainability is increasingly grabbing consumers’ attention. A resurgence of ’90s style, and retro vibes. Sparkles and sequins. Bold colors, and patterns galore. Also, an emphasis on individual style rather than fitting in a box, body positivity and sustainable fashion. Genesis Gomez, a Westminster-based model, like many accrued a collection of loungewear when the pandemic first struck. “I had my daytime pajamas, and my nighttime pajamas,” she said. “I have a whole slipper collection now.” More recently, she switches it up. Some days she’s back to wearing professional clothing — a blazer and nice shirt — but not every day. With a longtime penchant for ’70s style, Gomez is also embracing that trend lately, throwing on oversized sunglasses and bellbottom jeans, styled with a sleek middle part and natural makeup. “Embracing the oranges, greens, blues, tie-dye,” she

said. “I’m big on the ’70s look these days.” Interviewed as the model prepared to walk shows in New York Fashion Week, Sept. 8-12, she said she was most heartened to see people focusing on being themselves,. “I think that that is truly beautiful, how we are kind of coming into a world where people are just really embracing what fits them best,” she said. Amanda Crazybear is another model who works throughout the Denver metro area. She’s studied fashion history and worked in the industry for 10 years. “I feel like everybody has had just a rough time and kind of got lost,” Crazybear said of the pandemic. “Now everybody is kind of emerging.” She’s watching her two teenage daughters join the revival of ’90s trends, picking up styles she once wore herself, she said, and mixing in goth and urban streetwear inspiration too. “I think the ’90s were just a fun, funky time of freedom of expression for people,” she said. Like her daughters, Crazybear said she’s observing people mesh multiple styles, not just settling for one. Dressing up also helps a person feel good, she said, complimenting Colorado designers for creating designs that empower people of diverse backgrounds and needs.

Darlene C. Ritz is the Denver-based fashion designer behind DCR Studios. She has a doctorate in education and a passion for designing for every body type. For several years there has been a shift away from homogenous trends throughout society toward more individual expression, she said, and the pandemic’s onset expedited that. People were home more, browsing the internet, on their phones and online shopping. For many, shopping became a pastime. Anything

they wanted was available with the click of a button, and so too was fashion information, she said. That’s helped lead to consumers becoming more educated, and as a result making a return to slow fashion and sustainable fashion, she said. They’re deciding to waste less, as are designers. They are purchasing higher-quality items in order to keep them longer, instead of throwing items away after little use. Ritz took her collection to New York Fashion Week,

where she also focused on less waste and including all body types and genders. She gathered inspiration on a trip to Mexico, taking in the many colors, and on a trip to Las Vegas, where she saw an exhibit that featured a phoenix. Rising from the ashes plays a theme in here collection, she said, as are a flourish of prints. “Fashion is a celebration, and we are seeing that people are coming out of this wanting to celebrate,” Ritz said.

Colorful artworks enliven Greenwood Village gallery ‘Explorations in Watermedia’ is multi-faceted exhibition BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than 40 assorted watermedia paintings are exhibited at the Curtis Center for the Arts, 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, through Oct. 30. What a pleasant way to spend an hour or so ... This statewide exhibit was juried for the Colorado Watercolor Society by Karen Roehl, who lives in Denver, maintains a studio in the RiNo Arts District and teaches at the Art Students League of Denver. (Visitors can view several of the juror’s paintings at the rear of the spacious gallery, including a skillfully painted pair of horses.) Gallery director Chris Stevens said CWS members were urged to create “something different.” The “Explorations in Watermedia” exhibition offers traditional

watercolor landscapes and florals, as well as contemporary abstractions, still lifes, nature, animal and bird images and some works that are painted with opaque acrylics, also a watermedia, sometimes combined with the transparent paints and in other examples used alone. Style and technique varies widely, meaning that the exhibit is a pleasure to peruse. Which is to say that works in this exhibit vary widely in style and content and offer a multi-faceted experience for a viewer. Allow time to wander through this light, airy gallery, circle through the center and stroll around the edges again to enjoy the play of light and shadow in the images, as well as individual technical skill and vision. As one enters the Curtis gallery, a burst of color meets the eyes in Tanis Bula’s “Mixed Flower Surprise,” a colorful image of a summer bouquet with tiger lilies, roses and other bright blooms. One can almost catch a scent in the entryway. This skillfully rendered painting

was juror Roehl’s choice for Best of Show. A look at Bula’s website reveals her focus on bouquets, which must be a happy pursuit ... First Place ribbon went to “Peony” by Sally Huang-Nissen of Colorado Springs, reflecting traditional Chinese watercolor technique on this lush pink flower. Richard Forsyth’s “With Light, Color is Revealed” has a golden glow that draws one closer to see what’s happening, while Johanna Morrell’s “Nobody’s Voice But My Own” includes two panels, layered and contrasting with black markings on the clear top panel. Framing and presentation of these mostly small works varies considerably, adding more interest to this exhibit. Susan Randolph’s “New Beginnings” portrays a start-up flower garden — something many viewers will relate to, while Doug Moench’s “Summer Sea Oats” combines a bit of coast with plants and soaring birds in a calm, quiet “day at the

beach” piece. Jazzy and louder is Nancy Priest’s abstract work, “Miro Meets the Map Maker,” large and orange ... not to be ignored! Beatrice Trautman’s “Convergence,” an acrylic work, is almost overwhelmed by its smooth gold frame. Carol Newsome from Evergreen exhibits “Mahali,” a mostly submerged hippopotamus in a calm, sunny river, while “Birds on a Wire,” cliff swallows perched on a branch in another river, won second place. Curtis Center for the Arts is open 8: 30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is free, parking on east side and across Orchard Road. 303-797-1779, greenwoodvillage.com/1247/Curtis-Center-for-theArts.

Can Colorado GOP’s base get past 2020 to win in 2022? Unfounded claims of a stolen election test party’s game plan BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Kristi Burton Brown, chairwoman of the Colorado GOP, appeared at a gathering of Republicans in Jefferson County this summer where she talked about how the party can attract unaffiliated voters and finally win again in 2022. Candidates need to look forward and talk about keeping taxes low and school choice, she said. “We have to become the party of ideas.” But when Burton Brown opened the hotel-conference-room gathering up for questions, the crowd didn’t want to discuss her talking points. They jerked the focus back to the past. “The biggest issue for me is voter cheating and this whole national election, as we all know, was a set up,” a man said. “Has there been any talk of a forensic audit anywhere in this state?” a woman asked next. “If the Arizona audit shows the Dominion (Voting System) machines to be unreliable — and we use those machines — what’s our game plan?” another man wanted to know, referencing a Republican-led recount in the Phoenix area.

Supporters of then-President Donald Trump gathered on all four corners at University Boulevard and Highlands Ranch Parkway on Election Night, Nov. 3, 2020, waving flags PHOTO BY JOHN LEYBA/SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO SUN and playing music.

As Colorado Republicans look to 2022 with hopes of bouncing back from two election cycles of defeat, their game plan for how to move forward is clashing with an attachment among the party’s base to unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential election was fraudu-

lent. It’s not clear if the two pursuits can successfully coexist. “The election-fraud claim does pose a special challenge, because the base is especially riled up about it and swing voters are especially turned off by it,” said Daniel Cole, who leads the Republican campaign operations for state House and Senate Republicans. The same debate is playing out in other states, including Arizona, where a Republican audit of 2020 ballots in Maricopa County is dragging on. Trump, who continues to question his loss last year, fell short in the state by more than 10,000 votes. A previous recount of Maricopa County’s ballots found no problems. A push from some in the Colorado GOP to cancel the 2022 primaries to cut unaffiliated voters out of the process and allow party insiders to select the GOP nominees is an extension of the baseless voter fraud anxiety. Unaffiliated voters have been able to vote in partisan primaries in Colorado since the 2016 passage of Proposition 108. For instance, state Rep. Ron Hanks, a Fremont County Republican who has been one of the loudest voices in Colorado when it comes to questioning the 2020 presidential election results, said opting out of the state-run primary is a step toward election integrity. Randy Corporon, a Republican national committeeman and conservative talk radio host, has been advocating on his KNUS show for the primaries to be canceled for the same reason. “The Republican Party can take … power away from Jena Griswold and the state by reclaiming their own primary,” he told listeners recently, referring to the Democratic secretary of state, who is Colorado’s top election official. Priscilla Rahn, vice chair of the Colorado GOP, recently said she supports canceling the 2022 primary, calling into question Griswold’s abil-

ity to fairly oversee the contest. “Ask yourself this: “Do you trust her to administer an honest election and not interfere against Republicans?” Rahn wrote in an Aug. 21 letter. But Dick Wadhams, a former chair of the Colorado Republican Party, sees major peril for his party if it continues to beat the drum on election fraud and opts out of next year’s primaries. “There is no way a Republican can win in 2022 for statewide office and, frankly, in a bunch of competitive districts around the state,” he said of the scenario. Unaffiliated voters made up 43% of registered voters in Colorado at the end of July, compared to Republicans at 26% and Democrats at 29%. “They keep talking about how these unaffiliated voters are going to defile our process because they are going to be nominating a bunch of moderates and liberals,” Wadhams said. “I read that kind of stuff, I listen to it, and I’m thinking: ‘Any Republican candidate for statewide office who doesn’t think about the unaffiliated voters during their primary isn’t serious.’” Wadhams said it would be disastrous for Republicans if questioning the 2020 presidential election results becomes a litmus test for primary candidates. Burton Brown, who hasn’t taken a public stance on the question of whether to cancel next year’s GOP primaries, appears to agree, urging Republicans to move on from last year. “The more we talk about the past, the more we talk about what happened instead of what we are going to do in 2022, the more our candidates are put at a disadvantage,” she said at the Jefferson County Republican event, “because we are focusing on something we cannot control.” Still, she said, questions about election integrity are posed “all around the state.” The Colorado GOP is encouraging people who are concerned about the state’s voting processes to “get involved” and “get your eyes in the room” by becoming poll watchers and election judges. But she said there has been no proof of mass fraud in Colorado and that the only sure way for Republicans to lose in 2022 is for the party’s voters not to show up on Election Day because they think their vote won’t count. Election security was not explicitly on the list when Burton Brown and other top Republicans earlier this month rolled out a 10-point “Commitment to Colorado” aimed at attracting unaffiliated voters and serving as the party’s 2022 platform. State Rep. Dave Williams, a Colorado Springs Republican, thinks the GOP shouldn’t shy away from election integrity issues and that it needs to push for policy reforms. “It does no one any good to stay out of the fight or not engage,” said Williams, who favors canceling the 2022 primaries. “We need to be able to secure our elections but also prepare for 2022 with the fundamentals — find and recruit candidates, set them up. We can’t ignore one or SEE GOP, P19

the other.” He thinks both can be addressed simultaneously — and he also thinks that unaffiliated voters care about election integrity. Even if there are Republicans who want to move on, 2020 continues to dominate the spotlight. Most recently, that’s because of Tina Peters, the GOP clerk and recorder in Mesa County who is under criminal investigation after election system passwords and a copy of a voting equipment hard drive were allegedly taken from her office and then leaked online. Peters’ case has generated headlines in Colorado for weeks. She has cast doubt on the 2020 presidential election results, allying herself with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Trump supporter who has peddled conspiracy theories about last year’s contest. Seth Masket, who leads the Center for American Politics at the University of Denver, suspects that election integrity questions will persist. “If you make that (stolen election) argument, it’s pretty hard to pivot away from,” he said. “It’s kind of a difficult place that Republicans have painted themselves into.” Ryan Winger, a pollster with Louisville-based Magellan Strategies, thinks the divided focus among Republicans is “symptomatic of a larger problem.” “Many in the GOP fail to understand unaffiliated voters and conse-

quently fail to grasp why they lose elections,” he said. “Sure, making election integrity a major focus will likely scare off unaffiliated voters who didn’t vote for Trump and who the GOP needs to win over, but in a world where there is no dispute about the 2020 result, unaffiliated voters still aren’t flocking to Republican candidates.” Others, like state Rep. Colin Larson, a Ken Caryl Republican who is eyeing a 2022 congressional bid, doesn’t see election integrity as being the main focus of GOP voters. He’s bullish on his party’s chances next year. “It’s not something I’m inundated with,” he said about election secu-

rity questions. “The vast majority of people in my district are talking to me about school issues right now. And then after that it’s crime.” Cole, the strategist leading elec-

tion efforts for Colorado’s legislative Republicans, thinks that even if there is an election integrity focus among the GOP base “it poses a … familiar challenge.” “How to appeal first to the base in the primary election and then to swing voters in the general election?” he said. “This is an issue every cycle on both sides of the aisle. And there are always voices who think Republicans can’t hold the base and the middle together. In 2016, Jeb Bush said: ‘You have to lose the primary to win the general.’ But it turned out he was wrong.” The Colorado GOP’s central committee will decide whether to cancel the party’s 2022 primaries on Sept. 18.

as city mayor, also served two terms as a councilmember in District 2. Calling her priorities the “Tera’s To-Do” list, Radloff said the current council continues to prioritize repair and maintenance of roads that are “past their lifespan.” Radloff is being challenged by District 3 Councilmember Tracy Engerman, who said her decision to run for the city’s top position came down to choosing “courage over comfort,” as she opted not to run for reelection in her current seat. Coming off her first four-year term on the council, Engerman said the city needs “strong solutions-oriented leadership to move the city’s future from good to world class.” Engerman said it is a priority to successfully complete the current council’s five-year plan to rebuild and rehabilitate Castle Pines Parkway and Monarch Boulevard. The third mayoral candidate is David McEntire, who is currently the president of the Castle Pines North Metro District. In a unique campaign plan, McEntire is running as a team with District 2 council candidate Chuck Lowen, who is currently the director of the metro district. Lowen is challenging incumbent councilmember Ben Price in the Nov. 2 election. In a combined statement, Lowen and McEntire said they applaud the current council’s efforts to recon-

September 16, 2021 struct the Castle Pines Parkway, but noted it is only a half-mile of work and has taken too long to start. Lowen and McEntire said they will make it an “urgent priority” to McEntire rebuild and maintain city streets. Per the city charter, if Lowen and McEntire win the city election, they will be required to resign from the metro district. District 2 incumbent Price said he has no Lowen doubt that “priority number one is roads.” Price said city roads have been gradually declining for years and were not built well to begin with. “We have put as much work as possible into Price our streets over the last four years, and it’s important that we find creative ways to continue to get this job done,” he said. In District 3, incumbent councilmember Roger Hudson faces challenger Merri Sheh. While Sheh did not specifically mention roads, the newer Castle Pines resident said it is an exciting time for the growing community that needs to focus developing a government body that “creates the right balance.” Hudson, running for a second four-year term, said Castle Pines

is currently at a crossroads, “standing precariously between overdevelopment and conservation, between reckless over-spending and wise fiscal responsibility, and between Hudson economic development and blight.” City Clerk Tobi Duffey said Castle Pines is a young city, with the first official city council race held in 2008. The races continue to be healthy, Duffey said, with plenty of

candidates showing interest in open seats each election cycle. Duffey said it is, however, not uncommon for specific races to be uncontested, as is the case this year with District Sheh 1 councilmember Chris Eubanks. Duffey said the number of candidates in the 2021 election follows the norm of Castle Pines and for municipal government elections in general.

3 measures qualify for Colo.’s statewide ballot BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado voters will decide whether the legislature should have more control over how money from legal settlements and the federal government is spent after a third and final measure qualified to be on the statewide ballot in November. The signatures turned in to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office by proponents of Initiative 19 were deemed sufficient Aug. 31. To get their question on the Nov. 2 ballot, backers needed the signatures of 124,632 registered voters, including a minimum of 2% of registered voters from each of Colorado’s 35 state Senate districts. The two other questions on the statewide ballot in November are:

-- Initiative 27, which would lower the property tax assessment rate for multi-family residential homes to 6.5% from 6.8% and to 26.4% for lodging properties from 29% -- Initiative 25, which would impose a new 3% sales tax on recreational marijuana starting Jan. 1 and increasing to 5% by Jan. 1, 2024, at which point it is projected to generate about $138 million a year. That’s in addition to the existing 15% state sales tax on recreational marijuana. The money generated by the increased taxes would go toward bolstering out-of-school learning. Initiatives 19 and 27 are being pushed by Colorado Rising Action, a conservative fiscal group. Initiative 25 has bipartisan support, though the marijuana industry and the state’s largest teachers

union have expressed concern about the measure. Colorado Education Association president Amie Baca-Oehlert said her organization has anxieties over the implementation of the out-ofschool learning program under the measure and whether students will truly be able to access aid in their communities. There are no other groups seeking to place measures on the November ballot. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

State had no fatal crashes over Labor Day weekend STAFF REPORT

Colorado normally sees several highway deaths over the long Labor Day weekend each year, but not this year, the Colorado Department of Transportation reports. According to preliminary CDOT data released Sept. 9, the state avoided any fatal crashes this year over the final holiday weekend of the summer.

“This marks the first time in recent history that no deaths occurred on state roads over Labor Day weekend,” a CDOT release said. That’s despite the fact that Labor Day weekend is usually one of the deadliest holiday periods of the year on Colorado roads. Over the last 15 years, Labor Day weekend road fatalities have ranged from three in 2022 to 16 in 2016,

CDOT said. Overall, there were 412 traffic fatalities on Colorado roads at the time of CDOT’s Sept. 9 report, a 6% decrease from this time last year. Of those, 153 were related to impaired driving, the Colorado State Patrol reported. For 15 years of CDOT statistics on fatal holiday crashes across Colorado, go online to tinyurl. com/HolidayFatalCrashes.

to the community Sept. 7 saying Tri-County Health still has jurisdiction over the school district and that DCSD is obligated to follow the mask order. “If a student refuses to wear a face covering and does not have a signed medical exemption from mask wearing, we will have no choice but to implement stricter enforcement of the public health order in our schools,” Wise wrote. If a student continually refuses to wear a mask, they might be

transferred to remote learning, the letter said. Wise stressed TriCounty Health could direct a school to quarantine people or conduct remote learning — for a class, team, grade level or entire school — if an outbreak occurs. Wise was not immediately available to comment for this story.

the day it went into effect. Parents have threatened to pull their children from the district if mandates remain, and others have stated they would not comply. Kady Dieker said she moved her first-grade son from Littleton Public Schools to a Douglas County charter school in hopes the county commissioners’ decisions would mean he could go to school without masking. “It breaks my heart to even think that we are here as parents,” she said. But the mandate is welcome news to other students and parents. Heidi Reasoner is a teacher at Douglas County’s Ponderosa High School who said she is immunocom-

promised. She said she noticed more compliance with masking after Wise’s letter. She estimated that her daughter, a Sedalia Elementary student, was one of roughly 10% of students masking before a mandate went into effect. “I was pretty relieved when the district starting mandating it,” she said. Sager implored people to continue masking, saying the science supporting the benefits of face coverings has not changed. People should wear face coverings in indoor public settings and get vaccinated, she said. “The politics just doesn’t change any of that, not only within our schools but the community at large,” she said.

A contentious debate Masks have remained a contentious issue in Douglas County. Dozens of people have spent hours in public comment at school board and county board meetings calling for an end to mask mandates. Hundreds of students at district high schools protested the health order

Paying for a department The new board of health will also be required to present a health department budget to the full board of county commissioners. The county has not yet determined how the new health department will provide all of the required services to residents but it could be some combination of county-level services, contracted services with an entity such as Tri-County and other community partnerships. County staff is also exploring how the county’s already-existing mental health initiative could take on some of the services of a public health agency, said Drake, the deputy county manager. As far as costs go, Drake said the county is still “trying to figure that out” as it looks at what state and federal dollars could help fund the department. One thing that makes that a challenge is different budget cycles for those entities, the county and Tri-County. “An awful lot of public health funding is state funded or federally funded. What that means is you can have a county budget that includes all that state and federal funding as your budget, but that does not mean that the county is putting in that much money,” Drake said. “There’s no reason to think that we wouldn’t be eligible for that, what we have to figure out and sort out is the timing for those different sources of funds.” While the county has paid for

Tri-County services until the end of the year, Drake and her team are in talks with the agency about how to continue at least some of those services beyond 2021. “We are very earnest in our desire to continue to work with Tri-County at least through the end of this year and to manage a smooth transition,” Drake said. “They’re professionals; we’re professionals, I think that there’s every reason to think that we will be successful in managing that transition.” A spokesperson for Tri-County said decisions about contract negotiations with Douglas County would be left to their executive director. The county hopes to use the community health assessment they commissioned in July to help them decide what services they will offer beyond those that are statutorily required. That assessment, which usually takes about a year to complete, is planned to be finished by the end of the year, Drake said. The county plans to use an assessment completed by Tri-County as the foundation for their document, she said. “It’s very likely and very possible that the new board of health and a new public health director may want to go back out and do a longer version,” Drake said. “But it does give us a document to sort of show us what Douglas County people think and kind of a launching point for what our public health improvement plan should look like, which is designed to address what the (Community Health Assessment) is telling you.”

If the director is a physician — an M.D. or a D.O. — they must have attended a certified medical school and must be licensed to practice medicine in the state of Colorado. If the board of health chooses someone other than a physician as the director, they must also choose at least one physician to advise the public health director on medical decisions, according to the statute. A non-physician director must have a master’s degree in a public health field. In the Sept. 7 work session, Douglas County staff presented this information to the commissioners. In response to a question from Commissioner Abe Laydon about the selection process, County Attorney Lance Ingalls clarified that unless the commissioners themselves were on a board of health, they “wouldn’t have any say” in who is chosen as the public health director. Later in that meeting, commissioners selected their board of health members, including Teal and Thomas. “I’m actually comforted by the statutory requirements for the director of the board of health because I feel that makes a bunch of our jobs really easy,” Teal said in the meeting. The director for Tri-County, the agency that previously held jurisdiction over Douglas County, is Dr. John Douglas.

and of the highest pedigree in terms of expertise, experience and qualifications.”

Other stipulations for new agency The state public health act also stipulates the required services of a public health agency. Any health department is required to “develop and promote the public policies needed to secure the conditions necessary for a healthy community,” according to the county staff presentation paraphrasing the statute. That includes enforcing the laws of the state health board, investigating and controlling communicable diseases such as COVID-19, requiring quarantines and the closures of schools and public places when necessary and making health investigations and inspections, according to the county staff presentation. The department also must have available laboratories to conduct investigations and must collect, compile and tabulate marriage, birth, death and morbidity records. In general, public health departments deal with the whole population’s health, as opposed to focusing on individual patients like a primary care physician would. The county health department is also required to provide administrative services such as communications, human resources, legal services and emergency preparedness. “I think consistent with everything that Douglas County does, we not only want to meet this high threshold of statutory requirements but exceed it,” Laydon said in the meeting. “And make sure that every individual appointed to this public health board and that is providing services is of the highest caliber

Douglas County gets the better of Prairie View BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Tim Cardenas knew the early schedule was going to be challenging for the football team at Prairie View High School in Henderson, and he is hoping the challenge will help in the long run. The biggest test, by far, was Sept. 10, as the Prairie View ThunderHawks fell at home to a talented Douglas County High School team on 48-19 to drop to 0-3 on the season. The Castle Rock school is ranked No. 7 in the state in the RPI standings, and Prairie View’s opponents have had a combined 6-3 record. The schedule doesn’t get easier for Prairie View as it hosts Boulder’s Fairview (2-1) Sept. 17. “We have a very tough non-league, and that’s what we wanted,” Cardenas said. “We want to finish strong when we get into league and get into the playoffs.” The ThunderHawks played the Douglas County Huskies tough but couldn’t find an answer for multitalented quarterback Antwaun ‘AJ’ Jackson. The 6-foot-1-inch senior threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more. He also anchored the Huskies defense too. “Douglas County is a really good team,” the coach said. “They are the fastest team we have seen so far. We didn’t play very well defensively. We had some moments on offense, but we need to be more disciplined.” Justin Martinez Jr. gave Prairie View an early 6-3 advantage after returning a kickoff 92-yards for a touchdown. Prairie View added another score on its opening drive of the second half when Caleb Thatcher connected with Eliah Padilla on a 28-yard touchdown pass to cut the

Softball shutout is stuff of Legend Parker-area team wins 8-0 against rival Rock Canyon BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Legend shortstop Kaylynn English fields a high bouncing grounder during the game against Rock Canyon on Sept. 8. English had two PHOTO BY JIM BENTON hits in the game, which the Titans won 8-0.

Cameron Ponich, softball pitcher for Legend High School in Parker, has a habit of picking up a little dirt before delivering a pitch. Ponich was not only picking up dirt and wiping it off before each pitch, she was also wiping out batters for Highlands Ranch’s Rock Canyon High School in an 8-0 Continental League shutout victory on Sept. 8 at Legend. “I’ve been doing it for so long, it’s just a habit of mine and a superstition,” Ponich explained of her custom of grabbing a little dirt.

The junior right-hander scattered just five hits and struck out 15 batters as the Titans, ranked fourth in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com poll, improved their overall record to 9-3. Ponich kept her rise ball low against the Jaguars of Rock Canyon, which made her curveball and screwball more effective, and the league strikeout leader raised her total to 86 strikeouts in 59.1 innings pitched. Ponich surrendered two hits and a walk in the third inning as Rock Canyon loaded the bases but she got the third out of the frame on a ground ball to second base. “Usually I use my rise ball because it’ll make them go under the ball when they swing,” she said. “My favorite pitch is the curveball.” Ponich had two hits and drove in a run in Legend’s nine-hit attack.

“I don’t usually hit for my non high school (club) team but I like hitting so I come through a little bit and I get hits sometimes,” said Ponich. “It was really important to win, especially since it was our first league game, and it sets the tone for the rest of the season and the rest of the league games.” Legend’s junior shortstop Kaylynn English went 2-for3 with a double and triple. She scored twice and raised her team-leading batting average to .614 Emma Harrington also had two hits for the Titans. “I could definitely sense that she was on,” said Legend coach Kristen Shirk when asked about Ponich. “We talked before the game to see how she was feeling and she said she was ready to go. Her stuff was moving, SEE SOFTBALL, P25

which is always a plus.” Legend won back-to-back state softball titles in 2017 and 2018, which is a reminder for this year’s team. “I told the girls the other day, this is a brand new (Continental League) season,” said Shirk. “We want to win (championship) banners. We want to fill the gym with banners. Conference is the first step. We use our non-conference to figure out things and we are really young this year. We only have two seniors. “We have done quite well in our non-conference. I hope we continue to grow. At times we see our youth but then we see some brilliant things that can happen.” Rock Canyon is also a young team.

ment saw its record dip to 6-6. “We’ve come from a position of significant experience and ability to significant inexperience and a lot of potential,” said coach Michael DeSimone. “We have moments when we can see that brilliance and unfortunately some times when we are learning.” Senior Kristen Remley had two of Rock Canyon’s hits while Savannah Avery, Sydney Boulaphinh and Sloane Sprague had the other three hits for the Jaguars, who went 60-11 over the past three seasons. “We’ve built a legacy,” said DeSimone, who had just four seniors suited up for the Legend game. “We worked hard for many years to build this up and we can’t lower the standards because we’re not ready for the moment. We’ll continue to build and get better. We’re such a tale of two teams. They are great kids and they know what they have to do.”

runs set up a potential score for the ThunderHawks in the second quarter, but Thatcher’s pass was intercepted by Douglas County in the end zone. The Huskies’ offense was just too much for Prairie View. Even when the ThunderHawks got stops, Douglas County turned to kicker Tanner Rinker for points. Rinker connected on a pair of field goals.

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1

to approve the first reading phase of the proposed budget during the Sept. 21 council meeting. Corliss scheduled a final budget reading and approval date for Dec. 7. In a summary to the council, Corliss said the proposed budget focuses on maintaining levels of service while accomplishing core priorities and providing a solid financial future for the community. As discussions move forward, Corliss offered to meet personally with each councilmember and citizens individually to answer questions and discuss the 400-page document. Corliss said the town’s overall financial condition remains strong when comparing current operational needs with existing resources. The concern is for the future as growth continues and operational costs increase, he said. Corliss called the budget season challenging, as some line items in the budget will be based on how citizens vote on four tax measure in the November election. The measures are aimed at increasing budget lines to hire more police and fire department personnel to keep up with the

pace of growth. The tax measures would also be needed to pay for the $75 million Crystal Valley Interchange construction project. Two tax items are aimed at increasing parks and recreation revenue and providing funds for the town to purchase open space. Voters will not decide the four measures until Nov. 2, making it hard for town staff to provide exact numbers in certain areas of the 2022 budget. The proposed 2022 budget proposal incudes $120.5 million for capital improvements; $22.2 million for debt, interfund loans and transfers between funds; and $161 million for operations, including $18.5 million for annual pavement maintenance. The proposed budget accounts for annual growth in sales tax revenue budgeted at 4.5%. Property tax revenue is budgeted at an increase of 5.5%; the corresponding mill levy rate is expected to drop below the 2021 rate of 1.196 mills when finalized in December. Water Director Mark Marlowe said a slight decrease in combined current water rates for the average existing residential customer, and an increase in growth-related water system development fees, are planned for 2022. Learn more about the proposed budget at CRgov.com/2022Budget.

VICTIM FROM PAGE 1

killer is facing charges including second-degree murder. “This was really sad news,” Chavez said. “I just had this idea and wanted to do it.” Her efforts were rewarded as the Castle Rock community

helped her earn $600 to donate directly to the Wakefield family. When asked if she might do other fundraisers in the future, Chavez, a first-grader, said the success from this cause has her thinking about it. Proud dad David Chavez said his daughter will be meeting with members of the Wakefield family later to give them a check.

DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO

AUGUST 2021 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION

TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1

Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of AUGUST 2021 for each County affected.

21CW3145 JAMES AND ELISSA SIMPSON, 11075 E Daley Cir Parker, CO 80134 c/o John Buchanan, The Law Office of John D. Buchanan LLC, 2806 N Speer Blvd, Denver, Colorado 80211.

21CW3154 CHARLIE MEZZENGA, 65 Stockwell Street, Castle Rock, CO 80104. James J. Petrock and Eric K. Trout, Hayes Poznanovic Korver LLC, 1999 Broadway, Suite 3200, Denver 80202. APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM NONTRIBUTARY AND NOT NONTRIBUTARY SOURCES AND APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, IN THE NONTRIBUTARY LOWER DAWSON, DENVER, ARAPAHOE AND LARAMIE-FOX HILLS AQUIFERS AND THE NOT-NONTRIBUTARY UPPER DAWSON AQUIFER IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. Subject Property: 5.02 acres generally located in the SW1/4 NE1/4, Section 33, Township 7 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., also known as 2649 Ponderosa Rd, Franktown, CO, 80116, Douglas County, State of Colorado, as shown on Exhibit A (“Subject Property”). Applicant is the sole owner of the Subject Property. Well Permits: There are currently no wells on the Subject Property. Well permits will be applied for prior to construction of wells. Source of Water Rights: The Upper Dawson Aquifer is not-nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7), and the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and LaramieFox Hills aquifers are nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.5). Estimated Amounts: Applicant estimates the following annual amounts may be available for withdrawal:

Proposed Uses: Domestic, commercial, irrigation, stockwatering, fire protection, and augmentation purposes, including storage, both on and off the Subject Property. Jurisdiction: The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37-90137(6), 37-92-203(1), 37-92-302(2). Summary of Plan for Augmentation: Groundwater to be Augmented: Approximately 0.9 acre-feet per year of Upper Dawson Aquifer groundwater, as follows: 0.6 acre-feet per year for in-house use in 2 single-family residences (0.3 acre-feet per year per residence), 0.05 acre-feet per year for up to 4 large domestic animals, and 0.25 acre-feet for up to 5,000 square-feet of irrigation. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater will be used for domestic purposes, including in-house use, irrigation, stockwatering, and fire protection, through one or more wells, both on and off the Subject Property. Applicants reserve the right to amend the amount and uses without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for in-house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flows from in-house use will be approximately 90% of that use, and return flows from irrigation use will be approximately 15% of that use. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9)(c.5). Depletions occur to the Cherry Creek stream system and return flows accrue to that creek system and are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post pumping augmentation requirements. Applicants request the Court approve the above underground water rights and augmentation plan, find that Applicants have complied with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) and water is legally available for withdrawal, find there will be no material injury to the owners of or persons entitled to use water under any vested water right or decreed conditional water right, and grant such other and further relief as is appropriate. 3 Pages.

APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS IN THE DENVER BASIN AQUIFERS AND FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. Parcel description: The SE1/4 of the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., County of Douglas, State of Colorado, also known as street number 11075 East Daley Circle, Parker, CO 80134, consisting of 10 acres more or less (“Subject Parcel”). This application seeks a decree adjudicating all the nontributary and not nontributary ground water in the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Parcel. Such aquifers may include the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers; the actual aquifers will be those that are determined to be available underlying the Subject Property in accordance with the Denver Basin Rules (2 CCR 402-6). There is one exempt well located on the property, permitted under well permit no. 215145-A. The source of water for this well is the Denver aquifer. Applicants seek to adjudicate all the water in the Denver aquifer underlying the Subject Parcel and, after the adjudication is complete, Applicants will file an application with the State Engineer to re-permit this well to allow use of the water in the Denver aquifer pursuant to the water court decree. Once the well is re-permitted, use of the exempt well permit no. 215145-A will cease. The estimate of amounts of water in each aquifer is as follows: NNT Upper Dawson: 2.99 AF average annual appropriation (“avg”); NT Lower Dawson: 1.25 AF avg; NT Denver: 3.31 AF avg; NT Upper Arapahoe: 4.12 AF avg; NT Laramie Fox-Hills: 2.82 AF avg. The final decreed amounts may vary from the above to conform with the State’s Determination of Facts. Requested Uses. For the Denver and Upper Dawson aquifer water rights, Applicants request the right to use the ground water for domestic, irrigation, stock water, and fire protection uses, and for storage and augmentation purposes associated with such uses, on the Subject Parcel. For all other aquifers, Applicants request the water be approved for all beneficial uses, and the specific uses will be determined when an application for permits to withdraw such water is filed. The Applicants also request that the nontributary water may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction, both on and off the Subject Parcel, subject to the requirement that no more than 98% of the amount withdrawn annually shall be consumed. Applicants may use such water by immediate application or by storage and subsequent application to beneficial use. Applicants request that they be permitted to produce the full legal entitlement from the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Parcel through any combination of wells and that such wells be treated as a well field. Plan for Augmentation. Name of structure to be augmented: Simpson Upper Dawson Well. Legal description of structure: The well has not yet been constructed; it will be located on the Subject Parcel. Amount: 2.99 AF per year average annual withdrawal. Source: The Upper Dawson aquifer underlying the Subject Parcel. Use: Domestic use in two single-family homes, irrigation, stock water, and fire protection uses, and for storage and augmentation purposes associated with such uses. Complete Statement of Plan for Augmentation. Applicants’ consultant has determined that depletions to the affected streams during pumping will be effectively replaced by domestic return flows from a non-evaporative septic system. The annual consumptive use resulting from the domestic use utilizing a nonevaporative septic system is 10% per year. Based on a use amount of 0.25 AF per year in each residence, for a total of 0.5 AF, there will be 0.45 AF per year return flows. Based on the pumping depletion chart provided by Applicants’ consultant and attached as Exhibit A, the return flows from the domestic use will be more than adequate to replace the depletions from pumping the entire average annual withdrawal of 2.99 AF per year while the well is pumping. For the replacement of any injurious post-pumping depletions that may occur, Applicants will reserve up to the entirety of the nontributary Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer water adjudicated in this application, accounting for actual stream depletions replaced during the plan pumping period, as necessary to replace any injurious post pumping depletions.

The purpose of CCPWA is to develop and operate a stable and efficient water system for its members. The current members of CCPWA are Inverness Water and Sanitation District (“Inverness”); Castle Rock; the Pinery; and Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District (“Cottonwood”), all of which are political subdivisions of the State of Colorado responsible for supplying water for municipal purposes within their respective service areas and boundaries (collectively, the “Members”). This list reflects the recent change in membership wherein Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority (“ACWWA”) transferred its interest in the CCPWA to Castle Rock, which transaction closed in early 2021. CCPWA owns water rights in the Cherry Creek basin, and each member of CCPWA has a right to use a percentage of the water produced by the water rights owned by CCPWA. 9.2 In November 2005, CCPWA purchased the water rights for a water supply project known as the Cherry Creek Project, including the subject water rights, from Western Water Company. The 10CW318 Decree decreed the subject water rights as part of an integrated system of water rights and structures pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), along with the other water rights and structures owned by CCPWA, stating that work performed and effort and costs expended on any of the water rights or structures that are part of its integrated water system shall, for the purposes of demonstrating reasonable diligence in future proceedings involving all water rights described in the 10CW318 Decree be considered to be diligence on all features of CCPWA’s entire integrated water supply system. Decree for 10CW318 at Para. 7. CCPWA employs a manager and other staff to oversee the management and development of CCPWA’s integrated water supply, including the subject water rights, expending in excess of $250,000 for said services. 9.3 CCPWA expended time and effort, including expenditures exceeding $28,780, to begin revising and updating its water rights master plan in 2020 and 2021. This effort included modeling of CCPWA’s wells to support filling of Walker Reservoir. 9.4 With respect to Walker Reservoir, a cornerstone of CCPWA’s integrated system and decreed place of storage for the Subject Water Rights, CCPWA: (1) completed reservoir design at a cost in excess of $300,000; (2) obtained a necessary Clean Water Act Section 404 permit at a cost of $11,006; (3) performed significant work to obtain floodplain permitting at the cost of $44,230; (4) secured a funding grant from the CWCB to construct the reservoir; and (5) solicited bids and awarded a bid for construction. 9.5 CCPWA also rehabilitated the Christiansen Well No. 3 to supply water to the CCPWA members at a cost of $15,500 and has supplied water to the Pinery during the diligence period, through which CCPWA can divert several of its water rights. CCPWA also rehabilitated the McLain Arapahoe Well and equipped it with SCADA at a combined cost of $208,773. 9.6 CCPWA entered into an annual agreement with USGS for stream gage monitoring and calibration at a total cost of $9,956. 9.7 CCPWA has also contracted with HRS Water Consultants for accounting services at a cost of $75,263. 9.8 CCPWA has also contracted with Douglas County for the purchase of water rights in connection to the integrated system at a cost of $128,228. 9.9 During the diligence period, CCPWA spent more than $360,000 on attorney’s fees related to the development of its integrated system, including projects described above and for the protection and development of its water rights. During that period CCPWA also spent more than $100,754 on water rights engineering services to develop and protect its water rights. These legal and engineering services included the filing of statements of opposition to various water court applications within the Cherry Creek basin. 9.10 CCPWA reserves the right to identify additional diligence activities or provide additional details as may be necessary. 10. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the exist-

Lone Tree resident’s book headed for space Arts commission member illustrated book about NASA mathematician BY MADDIE BROWNING SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Dow Phumiruk, Lone Tree resident and member of the Lone Tree Arts Commission, has illustrated 15 children’s books including “Counting on Katherine: How Katherine Johnson Saved Apollo 13.” This book, written by Helaine Becker, was recently chosen for Storytime From Space — a project of the Global Space Education Foundation that sends children’s books to the International Space Station. Astronaut Megan McArthur will read the book from space, and a recording will be made available on the Storytime From Space website. The book details the story of Katherine Johnson, an African American mathematician who worked for NASA during the space race. Her backup procedures and charts helped save the Apollo 13 crew after their mission to the moon was aborted. “It was the space race at that time, so they’re like ‘Whoever wants to help us beat everyone else to the moon come sign up.’ And back then, because we didn’t have any real computers like machine computers,

they hired people to do the calculations,” said Phumiruk. “And men actually thought that that was too boring and too tedious, so they gave it to the women to do. And there were probably about 200 Black women that worked for NASA at the time, which is amazing because we’ve never heard about any of them until recently.” The original book was published in 2018. A second edition was published in the UK the following year for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Among other awards, the book

won The Cook Prize from the Center for Children’s Literature and the UK LA Literary Association Inaugural Information Book Award. Phumiruk also stated that around 100,000 copies have been sold in the U.S. and UK. Phumiruk wasn’t always a professional illustrator. She explained that she enjoyed art as a child, but becoming a stay-at-home mom to her daughters from 2002 to 2006 was what led her to pursue art again. “Being home with the kids, I really had an opportunity to really explore my artistic side, and I realized that

that’s such a big part of me. There’s no way I could ever leave that part behind. In fact, it’s taken over,” said Phumiruk. Phumiruk started learning on her own and researching techniques. In 2011, She joined the Society for Children’s Book Writers. “That’s where I really took off with my art, because I went to the conferences and got to know some other artists in the neighborhood and had a critique group going, and I got an agent maybe four years after joining that organization,” said Phumiruk. Phumiruk previously worked as a pediatrician, taught part time at Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine and worked on illustrations. She quickly realized that this was too overwhelming. Phumiruk said, “I came to a crisis of, I can’t do it all. I can’t raise the children, be a doctor, teach medical school and all that, and I ended up choosing to just teach and do the art.” She expected to return to pediatrics, but then was picked up by her agent and started working on paying projects. Phumiruk’s newest book, “Hello, Tree” was written by Ana Crespo, who is also from Colorado. It follows a little girl who finds friendship in a tree during the Black Forest Fire near Colorado Springs that took place in 2013. “Hello, Tree” will be released on Sept. 14.
