Sentence meant to send message STEM shooter gets life in prison without parole, plus 1,282 years

Breathless, Syketha Sprague tried to describe for a Douglas County judge the lifelong impact of a school shooting.

Her voice started out as a strained whisper. Sprague uttered her words between gasps for air. Tears choked the visibly shaken woman. Then she made an admission to the packed galley.

For more than two years, Sprague has struggled to look John and Maria Castillo in the eyes, she said.

Sprague’s only son survived the May 7, 2019, shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch, which left senior Kendrick Castillo dead and eight other students injured.

Every birthday, every holiday since, reminded her the Castillos lost their only son that day while she still held hers.

As Sprague spoke, John put his arm around Maria, who wept into her mask. Just like every past hearing, the couple sat in the front row of the Castle Rock courtroom.

Following a five-hour hearing on Sept. 17 hearing, District Judge

Several security guards and

uniformed officers positioned themselves between the audience at an Aug. 24 meeting of the Douglas County School Board and the board’s seats at the dais.

Confusion consumed the room as guards tried to clear the crowd of roughly two dozen. About half of the people left but the rest lingered,

trying to figure out if they would be let in later or if the meeting was over. Guards were not sure, but they needed people to leave, they said.

Minutes earlier, the board directors had abruptly left the room.

Class-action suit targets Colo. child mental health gaps Plaintiffs include hospitalized teens from Castle Rock, Northglenn

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado has lapsed on its obligation to provide mental health care for needy children, leaving them to cycle in and out of emergency rooms instead of receiving appropriate long-term care, according to a federal class-action lawsuit filed against the state Medicaid program.

The lawsuit so far includes three anonymous plaintiffs, all teenagers who have for months or years been checked into hospital emergency rooms and psychiatric facilities but then were refused step-down residential treatment because no beds are available.

The case is similar to major lawsuits filed in other states, including Illinois, which was forced to revamp its mental health system for children in a 2018 settlement.

“Colorado needs a comprehensive mental health plan of care for these children, and there are significant gaps and missing links that need to be rectified,” said Robert Farley, the attorney handling the Colorado case who also successfully sued Illinois.

“These children have legal rights to get the necessary services.”

The three plaintiffs, identified

only as A.A, B.B. and C.C., should have received intensive mental health services in their communities — an entitlement under federal law for children on Medicaid government insurance, according to the lawsuit. The suit, filed Sept. 3, seeks class-action status to represent other children who have not received needed treatment. The children have been unfairly “institutionalized,” it alleges.

One is a 13-year-old Northglenn boy who has been hospitalized at Children’s Hospital Colorado since March because the state has refused to pay for a less-restrictive residential treatment center. The teen, who has reactive attachment disorder and other mental health issues, remains hospitalized due to the lack of other options, according to the lawsuit.

Another is a 16-year-old Castle

Rock girl who has been in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital Colorado since July 31. The state has been unable to find a longterm residential program, despite looking out of state, according to the lawsuit.

The teen, who is suicidal and has post-traumatic stress disorder and reactive attachment disorder, has been admitted to an emergency room 17 times because of her mental health struggles, the suit says.

The child, who has busted open her head by banging it on the wall and tied sheets around her neck, has had to rely on emergency treatment while in crisis instead of receiving long-term care that would improve her mental health, according to the lawsuit.

The third plaintiff is a 13-year-old Aurora girl diagnosed with major depression and an anxiety disorder who has been hospitalized three times. She’s living at home but needs to go to a residential treatment center, which the state has not provided, according to the lawsuit.

Law creates entitlement Under federal law, children who qualify for Medicaid are entitled to receive medically necessary mental health services through a program called “Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment Service.”

Castle Rock teen gets within feet of $1M Kaden Lebsack treasures experience on ‘American Ninja Warrior’

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a record-breaking season, Castle Rock teen Kaden Lebsack came up just short of earning the $1 million grand prize as he was the last one standing in the 13th season of “American Ninja Warrior.”

Lebsack did win $100,000 for strength and agility.

In the Sept. 13 finale, Lebsack continued to shock viewers as he zoomed through Stages 2 and 3 in his quest to have a shot at Stage 4.

Lebsack broke the record of not only being the youngest ever to complete Stage 3 but was also the first rookie to do so.

“Being the only rookie to ever complete Stage 3, I know I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for my coach, John Maul,” Lebsack said.

“He has trained me since I was 10 years old. He has put a lot of time and dedication into my training.”

After the Stage 3 competition, Lebsack was the only ninja left standing, earning his opportunity to proceed to Stage 4, where the only thing standing between him and $1 million was a 75-foot rope climb, which he had to do in 30 seconds or less.

Kaden Lebsack said he will always treasure the opportunity to compete on ‘American Ninja Warrior.’

With the country watching, Lebsack started the climb quickly, hitting the 30-foot mark, then 40, and then he ran out of steam. Getting near the 50-foot mark, Lebsack ran out of time, missing becoming a

teenage millionaire by about 10 feet.

After the show, Lebsack said, “I am super happy to complete Stage 3, but I will not be content until I conquer Stage 4. The rope climb was harder than I thought it was going to be. I really didn’t have a good technique. It will be something I will be working on now.”

In the 13th season of “American Ninja Warrior,” Lebsack, at 15, was the first teenage ninja to ever compete on the final stage. This was the first season teenagers were allowed to compete alongside adults.

Lebsack outlasted 17 other teenage competitors.

Lebsack breezed through the season with ease, showing that the discipline is not about age, but about training. On the finale, Lebsack’s parents Ryan and Brandi said he started wanting to become a ninja when he was 8.

The couple opened a training facility in Castle Rock to allow Lebsack to train full time. Ryan said his son has remained dedicated to the dream of becoming a Ninja Warrior, training “like an Olympian.”

Lebsack said competing will always be a memorable experience

because he was able to compete alongside veteran ninjas whom he has respected for years.

“It was amazing to get their support and have them cheering me on,” he said.

In looking at the future, Lebsack said he and Stage 4 still have unfinished business, and if the show asks him back, he will return.

“I want to compete in Ninja as long as my body allows,” he said.

Kaden Lebsack zoomed through Stages 2 and 3 on his way to the final Stage 4.

STAFF REPORT

The Castle Rock Police Department is rallying together to bring more awareness to mental health and suicide. The public is invited to join the police department to talk about mental health in the second annual Rally of Hope event on Friday, Sept. 24.

The event will take place at Festival Park in Downtown Castle Rock from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Participants will have access to more than a dozen Colorado-based mental health providers who will be available to answer questions and provide information and resources. In addition, there will be multiple food trucks, sidewalk chalk for kids and licensed therapy animals, including dogs and mini horses.

“Last year, we saw a huge increase in the number of calls for service that involved people struggling with their mental health,” said Castle Rock Police Commander Sam Varela. “The pandemic has had lasting effects on people’s social lives, work and academic studies and mental well-being. Our goal is to take steps in erasing the stigma of suicide and mental health disorders. By working toward supporting one another, we can start to come up with some solutions.”

“A Rally of Hope” is held in September, which is National Suicide Awareness Month.

Feedback sought for disc golf course Castle Rock parks department wants residents to weigh in STAFF REPORT

Should a new disc golf course tee up in Castle Rock? That’s the question the town’s Parks and Recreation Department wants residents to answer when they provide feedback on a proposed new 18-hole disc golf course at East Plum Creek Open Space.

The disc golf course would be located on either side of Hangman’s Gulch Trail and east of East Plum Creek Trail. Users would gain access from a planned trailhead parking area at the Parks and Facilities Maintenance and Operations building at the end of Caprice Drive.

The course would be about .35 miles from the parking area.

with technical design and construction. Once complete, the organization would assist with maintenance and use the course for tournaments and special events.

The proposed course would include disc golf baskets for 18 holes with pin placements and two tee pads per hole to accommodate different abilities. A synthetic-turf throwing surface, tee signs, trash cans and benches would also be included in the project.

Crews are hoping to start construction this fall. Work is expected to be complete in late spring or early summer 2022.

Before the town moves forward with the project, officials are looking for input from residents.

Complete a feedback form online at CRgov.com/DiscGolf before Sept.

30. More information and a proposed course map are also available on the website.

This would be the town’s second disc golf course. There is currently an 18-hole course located at Matney Park, 5790 Lantern Circle.

Money ranks Castle Rock as 28th best place to live Centennial also places high in news outlet’s latest list

BY MARK HARDEN MHARDEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Money, the news and personalfinance site, is out with its 35th annual list of the “Best Places to Live in the U.S.,” and Centennial and Castle Rock both landed in the top 50.

Centennial comes in at No. 8 on the list, and Castle Rock ranks No. 28. They are the only Colorado cities on Money’s list of 50 places.

Money says its list “highlights the places where job growth is rising, home prices are affordable, and the quality of life shines.”

Castle Rock “boasts 6,000 acres of open space, award-winning public schools and easy access to both Denver and Colorado Springs. Outdoor enthusiasts have no shortage of activities to choose from here, including 95 miles of trails and 53 planned parks,” Money says.

It also cites the Douglas County seat’s street festivals and outdoor summer concerts.

The outlet notes that Centennial children “attend Cherry Creek and Littleton Public Schools, two of the mostly highly regarded school districts in the state. The city is also conveniently located by two major highways. Alternatively, you can hop on the region’s light rail at

Working to support areas that residents have identified as priorities, Corliss also recommended the council approve tax measures to pay for parks and recreation staff and open space in the 2021 election. The council also approved these two tax measure for the November ballot based on Corliss’ recommendations.

Gray motioned to increase Hyman’s salary by 3.5%, increasing his annual pay to $207,000.

Hyman, hired in 2020, came to Castle Rock after serving more than 30 years in various positions with the City of Aurora, including four years as the city attorney. He also spent two years with the City and County of Denver.

As the town looks to voters to approve a 10-year pause to TABOR, Hyman has proven helpful this year with his background knowledge of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights rules, regulations and requirements.

Douglas County reps level accusations at Tri-County Health Agency refutes claims of ‘censorship,’ hears claim of ‘compromised’ board members

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Kevin Bracken, Douglas County’s newest representative on the Tri-County Health Department board — a longtime critic of the agency — has asked it to investigate what he alleges was “illegal” activity regarding the video recording of the board’s Aug. 30 meeting.

And another Douglas County representative to the board, Linda Fielding, accused fellow board members of being “compromised” at the meeting.

The Aug. 30 meeting saw contentious exchanges between Tri-County officials leading up to the agency’s decision to require mask wearing by everyone inside schools as a COVID-19 safety measure and to repeal the ability of counties to opt out of its public health orders.

Those actions have met with stout opposition from Douglas County’s elected commissioners, who are taking steps to pull the county out of its 55-year-old relationship with Tri-County,

the public-health agency for Douglas, Adams and Arapahoe counties. The Douglas County School District is enforcing the mask rule, however.

Kevin Bracken emailed his accusations to other Tri-County board members, along with elected leaders in the three counties. The email was forwarded to Colorado Community Media

by Douglas County Commissioner George Teal.

In his email, Bracken referred to his comments at the Aug. 30 meeting.

“I just want it noted that the (video of the) Aug. 30 meeting had a very concerning fast forward through several of the board members’ comments. (Comments of) mine and Dr. Fielding in particular were (affected) more than any other board members,” Bracken said during the Board of Health’s Sept. 9 meeting.

Bracken added: “I find it very concerning if this file was edited.”

‘Was it intentional or not?’

Ronnae Brockman, the

Castle Rock Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken.

Tri-County executive assistant who helps run health board meetings, criticized Bracken’s comments and called them “false claims.”

“If you continue to engage in this hostile and defamatory behavior, I will take legal action against you,” Brockman told Bracken.

Bracken responded that he never alleged that Brockman, specifically, edited the video.

Brockman said that because of her position, when Bracken says a video was edited, “that is defamatory to me.”

“There is a difference between saying, ‘Hey, you guys, I noticed this is some-

thing happened on your video,’” Brockman said. “It’s very different than your accusatory email.”

Board President Kaia Gallagher, an Arapahoe County representative, acknowledged there was disruption in the video, saying: “The question really is, was it intentional or not?”

Gallagher said a disruption in recording has occurred before.

“To the extent possible, the Tri-County Health Department staff will look into it,” Gallagher said. Bracken said the Aug. 30 video is the only file that has been fast-forwarded through “in the recordings I’ve had an opportunity to watch.”

Jan Brainard, another Board of Health member from Arapahoe County, said she remembers that “after the very first Zoom meeting,” referring to a videoconferencing service used to conduct meetings remotely, she noticed a problem with the video recording.

“I called or sent an email to Ronnae (Brockman) and asked her where I could find it, and it was the exact same thing. There were parts of it missing,” Brainard said.

She added: “My point being that this is not intentional. It was not directed at Mr. Bracken.”

Bracken appears to be correct that his comments at the Aug. 30 meeting were affected by the disruption more than other board members’ comments in the period that runs from roughly 49:00 to 1:12:00 in the recording (available online at tinyurl.com/TriCountyAug30Video), when much of the board discussion took place.

But many comments from John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health, were also disrupted, including comments from Douglas that appeared not SEE ACCUSATIONS, P22

Yes, some Douglas County families support school masking Masks protect vulnerable, curb spread, keep schools open, they say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Heidi Reasoner felt a sense of relief when the Douglas County School District began requiring masks as a COVID-19 safety measure, first for students in preschool through sixth grade and later for all people inside district buildings older than 2.

Reasoner is immunocompromised. The Ponderosa High School teacher was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder about a year ago, which causes her immune system to attack itself. She is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but still leery of contracting the virus, she said, which her body

would struggle with if she caught it when off her medication.

“It was scary at first to get diagnosed with this and have this life-altering thing happening right in the middle of a pandemic,” she said.

Amid protests and tense school board meetings, where many families have voiced vehement opposition to mask mandates, other Douglas County families are nervously hoping the district stays its course — particularly as the county creates its own health department, which would void Tri-County Health Department’s mask mandate for people in schools 2 and older.

Several people contacted Colorado Community Media to express their support for masking and mask-wearing rules, but declined interviews, were not available or did not respond to further requests for comment.

her daughter attends Cresthill Middle School. Both her children voluntarily wore masks from the first day of school, she said.

“My stance is to follow the science and listen to the experts who have spent a lot of time in their respective field to be able to provide recommendations,” she said.

Erica and her children estimated about 60% of students started wearing masks correctly once mandates began, but that few students masked when it was voluntary.

Erica said the lack of masking left her with intense anxiety, especially as case rates climbed

among school-age students in Douglas County. Watching mask protests and parents condemn mandates at school board meetings left her demoralized.

“It just feels like it’s a losing battle,” she said. “I’m so exhausted from the outrage and the anxiety that I feel like I’m kind of just going numb.”

Reasoner’s daughter Zaida attends fifth grade at Sedalia Elementary and masked before mandates came down. Zaida estimated about 10% of students voluntarily masked at the start of the school year.

Zaida said most students were respectful of her choice to wear a face covering, but she faced occasional pressure to stop.

“Some kids were telling me to just take my mask off. They told me that my mom wouldn’t even

know about it,” she said. “I told them I would keep it on.”

She’s glad the district is requiring them, and believes students are more protected, she said.

In addition to being vulnerable to COVID-19, Reasoner experienced a loss during the pandemic. Her father died in November from COVID-19. Being unable to visit with him as he fought the virus or plan a normal funeral was difficult on the entire family, she said.

As she watched people in the district protest mask mandates, she wondered how many have experienced the pandemic’s toll on a personal level.

“They really don’t see the bigger picture of who we are trying to protect,” she said. “We’re trying to protect everybody, not just the vulnerable.”

people who gave victim impact statements calling the defendant unremorseful and a coward got the message across to Slade.

“That we do want to deter, we want to let everyone know that this is not acceptable at any level, and that the State of Colorado is going to punish people that put harm on our children and our schools,” he said.

DA Kellner vowed to always uphold Kendrick’s memory.

“Today’s sentence from the judge honored that memory and the sacrifice of Kendrick Castillo, and today’s sentence from the judge recognized the profound horror, the terror that was inflicted by this defendant on our community,” he said.

Theresa Slade sentenced Devon Erickson, the older of two gunmen convicted in the shooting, to life in prison without a possibility of parole plus — according to prosecutors’ calculation — 1,282.5 additional years.

At the hearing, numerous victims said that they received a life sentence the day of the attack. Years of physical trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, and for scores of people, survivor guilt.

Sprague castigated the adult STEM School gunman for shattering lives.

She grew up in an area plagued by violence, and she sent her son to STEM School because she “wanted a different life for my child.”

“I pray that you acknowledge what you have done,” she said. “I pray God has mercy on your soul.”

reacted with a mix of shock, dismay, or disbelief to comments made in defense of Erickson’s character.

Parents buried their faces in their hands or motioned for defense attorneys to hurry up. Former STEM students raised their eyebrows or quietly shook their heads.

Judge Slade didn’t buy it either.

Erickson’s reactions appeared “manipulative at best,” she said. He failed to offer a reason behind the attack, something she heard victims cry for in victim impact statements, she said.

Slade also told the defendant he had not taken accountability. A nearly 600-page presentence investigation included a one-page statement purportedly written by him, but it included nothing substantive, she said.

“It was a shell,” she said.

She noted that he listened unflinchingly to survivor testimony until his family spoke about what he is losing, such as freedom to pursue his interests or family time.

“Today is the first time I have seen you show any type of emotion,” she said.

Slade said the sentence she handed down was aimed at punishment and deterrence, “to make sure that this never happens again.”

John Castillo, Kendrick’s father, called the defendant’s emotional displays narcissistic. Apologies from the gunman’s parents felt canned, he said. He walked out of court as they testified.

Spurlock, the county sheriff, said

A drawn-out case Brauchler estimated that COVID-19 delayed the trial and sentencing hearing for Erickson’s case by 15 months at least. Brauchler oversaw procedings before he left office in January of this year, and stayed on as a special deputy district attorney at Kellner’s invitation.

The pandemic caused a painful drawing-out of the older suspect’s case after multiple rescheduled trials, Brauchler said. He called that another testament to the community’s resiliency.

“We did this during COVID. We did this with social distancing and masks,” he said. “We got this thing done.”

Brauchler thanked Kellner for allowing him to stay on. Brauchler’s tenure as DA was bookended by the Aurora theater killings and the STEM School shooting. Finishing the STEM School case was personal after leaving one of the most challenging jobs he’s had, Brauchler said.

“This is it,” Brauchler said. “This will be my last official act as a prosecutor for the 18th Judicial District.”

As is always the case, John Castillo said, the possibility of appeals loom. Defense attorney Julia Stancil said she did not have any comment when reached by email.

He watched as the gunman’s lawyers and family took notes during the sentencing hearing, he said, wondering if that was a precursor to more legal battles. Whatever comes, he and Maria will attend any future hearings as they did throughout the court cases, he said.

“As long as I’m breathing air and I’m upright,” he said.

Adding experience to life’s greatest teachers

T

his column is dedicated to all the wonderful and committed teachers in our communities. Before the pandemic began, they already had my deepest respect. So, a big shoutout to each teacher in my life who helped me in some WINNING way along life’s journey, I appreciWORDS ate you all so much.

Teachers have a special gift and calling. And yet teachers are also grossly overworked and underpaid, and in many cases, overly criticized and underappreciated. All Michael Norton of this has become amplified over the past 19 months as our already stretched education system is caught in the collateral damage of the pandemic and other societal pressure points.

Masks, vaccinations, social distancing, hybrid learning, conflicting curriculums, forced curriculum change mandates, belief systems and constrained budgets all coming to a boil of disruption at the same time. My admiration for the teaching community only increases

as they continue to pour into their students while giving tirelessly of themselves.

By the way, I am including the entire teaching community. Educators at every level, coaches, mentors, trainers, corporate learning teams.

Each person who has a platform to develop their students, learners, and those they coach must deal with the very same things as someone who is teaching in a classroom, teaching virtually, or in some hybrid delivery model.

What can we talk about? What can’t we say? Where are the boundaries? Are there any boundaries?

How do we stay healthy? How can we keep our students safe? Is what we taught yesterday still relevant, let alone accepted today? Are there new skills, thoughts and theories that need to be explored? These are just a few of the variables and curveballs being thrown at those responsible for our education and personal and professional development.

Here is the upside. Never in history has the learning community been in such a position to acquire knowledge through academic, coaching, and training best practices coupled with access to information. And

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Why not let voters decide?

The outcry over masks and the decision of three Douglas County commissioners to separate from Tri-County Health has certainly escalated the venom in our county.

There are a handful of reasons for the decision, but the motives of the commissioners are questionable.

Is it fiscally responsible to make this decision when the feasibility study is just now underway? It appears that the cart is guiding the horse. Does anyone really know what services this infant health system will offer and what the financial impact will be to county citizens? Are we cutting off our noses to spite our faces?

I would suggest that when the feasibility study is complete that it is offered in full transparency to county citizens before any long-term decision is made. Is this not an issue that should be submitted to the voters for their decision rather than three people who may or may not have the long-term health and welfare of their constituents at the forefront?

As citizens, let us attempt to make this time of fear, control and separateness be finished. We are a community and the wellbeing of a community depends on letting go of some personal freedoms for the greater good of the whole.

never has there been a time where we have had the opportunity to experience life with all its conflicts, contrasts, and challenges that we are living through today. Teaching theory, providing structure and concepts for problem-solving are important. And when we add the potency of real-world experiential learning to the solid fundamentals and advanced applications of teaching we have an enormous opportunity for growth.

Some believe that experience is life’s greatest teacher. This is only true if we learn from those experiences. The important thing is that when we fail, and we will, that we learn from that failure. Equally as important is that when we succeed, we learn from our successes. If we will let it, life has so much to teach us when it comes to understanding what works and what doesn’t work in the real-world. Life teaches us how to live, communicate, and optimize our performance at home and at work.

As we think about the future generations and the future leaders in our communities, government and in the workplace, we should be thinking about how we could impact their growth and the future of soci-

ety. Are we encouraging our teachers, educators, coaches and students at every level through dialogue or are we talking at them? When we provide life experiences and we are actively and openly talking about what is happening locally and globally today, we will have the greatest impact on where out students are going tomorrow.

“The best teachers are those who show you were to look but don’t tell you what to see.” - Alexandra K. Trenfor. We have a lot of people telling us where to look and what to see and hear right now. As students, and we are all students, we should consistently be challenging ourselves to look at life through the lens of concepts, theories, and experience.

Do you have a favorite teacher, coach, mentor, or trainer? Are you learning and growing from life’s lessons? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can add our life experiences to our learning, it really will be a better than good year.

Can we really prevent suicide? Maybe

I

t’s no secret that Colorado has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. But what remains elusive is why and what we can do about it GUEST to truly make a COLUMN significant difference.

As the former state legislator who led the establishment of the Colorado Suicide Prevention Commission, and a Linda Newell commissioner serving on it now, my commitment to finding the answer is fierce. But as a suicide-loss survivor, my drive for this quest is even stronger.

By now, almost everyone probably knows that it is Suicide Prevention Month across the country.

I could go on and on with a whole bunch of statistics

alarming you of the too-often occurrence of someone killing themselves in Colorado, but instead, let’s focus on what we can do to potentially prevent it.

It is not only up to therapists, hospitals, and the government to take action. Yes, we can continue to focus on it and build an infrastructure of systems and resources that people in need can use. And in Colorado, we’re doing a good job of that, considering the lean state budgets we have.

But what can you and I do to stop anyone from harming themselves? Well, if we’re too late in the process, we can sometimes do nothing, honestly. And in those circumstances, we will hopefully not allow ourselves to feel guilt or ask ourselves, “What could I have done?”

Sometimes, we are completely unaware of what’s going on inside another person,

and there’s nothing we can do about it.

However, there are some proactive things we can do to “set the infrastructure” in our families and relationships that can make a big difference, and even save a life. Let’s talk about our children, for instance.

We may not want to admit it, but the statistics show that in Colorado, some children are considering ending their own lives as early as 6 years old. Why? What drives a child to think about that or even think of suicide as an option?

And what can we do to prevent that?

Research tells us that one of the most effective protective factors against youth suicide is the child having a relationship with at least one trusted adult.

As an example, this one

Firefighter’s death highlights cancer risk first responders face Anthony Palato was diagnosed with an ‘occupational cancerous tumor’

BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

The death of a South Metro Fire Rescue firefighter-paramedic highlights the cancer risks that first responders face across the country.

Centennial-based South Metro, d which serves parts of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties, on Sept. 15 announced the “line of duty death” of Anthony Palato, known to his coworkers and friends as Tony.

Four years ago, Palato was diagnosed with an “occupational cancerous tumor,” the department tweeted. Palato had gone into re- mission, but the cancer returned.

He medically retired on March 1.

“As a paramedic for 21 years, there is no doubt that Tony touched many lives and will be remembered as a kind, caring and compassionate person with a true servant’s heart, he will be greatly missed,” department officials tweeted.

Palato began his career as a first responder with the Sheridan Fire Department. In 2000, he joined the Cunningham Fire Protection District, which was unified with South Metro in 2018. He leaves behind a wife and their two daughters.

At press time, a funeral service was to be held Sept. 21 at Denver First Church, 3800 E. Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village.

In July 2018, then-President Donald Trump signed legislation requiring the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to set up a registry of firefighters to track the connections between occupational exposures and cancer. Results from that registry aren’t expected to be public until

supportive relationship can be a parent, family member, teacher, minister, or therapist. Having someone who can listen, give loving advice, or just intentionally sit with them occasionally can be profound in them feeling heard and being accepted just as they are. That then can lead to feeling cared about and a sense of hope in the surrounding community.

As minor as this may sound, this one act can make a big difference in a child’s mental well-being. So, prioritizing our time with our kiddos and using empathy and listening skills can serve as a protective shield against them having thoughts of hopelessness or selfharm that can lead to suicide.

2024 or later.

Earlier this month, PBS NewsHour reported on the long-term health issues that first responders to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks still face two decades later.

Speaking to NewsHour, physician and epidemiologist Dr. Steven Markowitz said that over 20,000 responders and residents enrolled in the federally funded World Trade Center Health Program have been treated for cancer.

The CDC and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health completed a multiyear study in 2016 of nearly 30,000 firefighters in three major cities — Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco — to understand any potential connections between their jobs and cancer diagnoses.

The study found that firefighters, compared to the general public, had a higher risk of cancer diagnoses and cancer-related deaths.

“If you are a firefighter and you are healthy right now this study does not mean that you will get cancer. We don’t know, simply from this study, whether or not you will get cancer. Instead, our study found that fire fighters, on average, have a higher risk of certain types of cancer compared to the general population,” the researchers concluded.

They also noted that if you are a firefighter and currently have cancer, that doesn’t not necessarily mean it was related to your service.

An update from 2020 on the study confirmed the previous findings.

Local teen finished seventh in Tokyo Olympics

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen Colin Duffy first laid eyes on an indoor climbing wall, he was only 3 years old.

The colorful holds drew his attention and he begged his parents to let him give the sport a try. By 7, he was climbing in full-sized gyms. And now, at 17, Duffy was the youngest competitor in the first-ever Olympic sport climbing event.

“I think I just love how unique of a physical challenge it is,” he said about the sport. “Not only do you have to be strong enough to solve the climbs and problems but you also have to use your brain, figuring out body position and what the best strategy is going to be for each route.”

Duffy, a Broomfield resident and a student of Stargate Charter School in the Adams 12 district, grew up climbing in the area. He frequents local rock climbing gyms like G1 Climbing + Fitness, and his favorite local spot to climb outdoors is Rocky Mountain National Park.

Duffy qualified for this year’s Olympic Games in 2020 when he won the International Federation of Sport Climbing’s Pan American Championship in Los Angeles.

“I was kind of just awestruck after qualifying,” he said. “It didn’t really feel real.”

Then, the Olympic Games were delayed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leading up to the Tokyo Olympics, Duffy, like many Olympic athletes, had to face a variety of new training methods due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For several months, gyms were closed and Duffy had to practice his climbing on an at-home wall in his basement.

When gyms opened, he adjusted to training while wearing a mask. Then, two weeks before the climbing competitions started, he traveled with the rest of the four-person U.S. team to Tokyo in early August.

Once in Japan, Duffy and his colleagues began to work on acclimating to the humid, hot weather they’d be competing in.

“I think the most noticeable difference for me was the heat,” Duffy said. “I’ve always been used to dry heat and a lack of humid-

CLIMBER REACHES FOR DREAM

Duffy was one of eight climbers who made it into the Olympic finals out of 20 male athletes. In the finals, he finished seventh overall.

In the speed competition he ranked fifth, with 6.35 as his fastest time. In the bouldering event he finished in fourth place, and in the lead competition he ranked third.

Nathaniel Coleman, the other male climber from the U.S., took silver in the competition. Brooke Raboutou — from Boulder, Colorado — placed fifth in the women’s competition.

“I had a lot of fun,” Duffy said. “I think a lot of people probably look at it as the most intense event possible, but I think outside of the competition days, being around the village and being surrounded by so many incredible athletes, everyone is always smiling and just happy to be there with their teammates.”

Colin Duffy, who placed seventh in the first-ever sport climbing competition in the Tokyo Olympics, competes in a PHOTOS BY DANIEL GAJDA lead climbing event in Innsbruck, Austria.

ity, so being in such an intense climate and having to compete outdoors in that was really kind of hard to adjust to.”

Sport details At this year’s Olympics, the sport climbing event displayed three disciplines of indoor climbing: bouldering, lead climbing and speed climbing.

In the bouldering event, athletes attempt to scale short, challenging pre-set routes, also known as problems, which are made up of plastic imitation rocks of various shapes and sizes.

The walls in this event are about 15 feet high and surrounded by large pads.

Climbers don’t use any

rope for this event.

During lead climbing, the athletes are tied into a rope as they see how high they can get on a wall more than 50 feet high. As they climb, the competitors attach their rope into clips placed along the wall. On the ground, a belayer attached to the same rope is ready to catch the climber if they fall or finish the route.

While each route and problem in the lead climbing and bouldering disciplines is unique and neverbefore-seen by the athletes, the speed climbing event is different in that it presents the same route in every competition. Athletes dart up this standard route to see how quickly they can

press a touchpad at the top.

The fastest speed at the finals of the Olympics was 6.02 seconds.

In this year’s Olympics, climbers were required to participate in all three events, with their score being determined by how they ranked in each one.

Some in the sport criticized this format because of the inherent differences between speed climbing and the other two disciplines.

Duffy’s favorite climbing events are bouldering and lead climbing, he said. In the next Olympic games, there will be one competition for speed climbing and one combining bouldering and lead.

Enjoying the games As the youngest climber there, Duffy felt like he was able to relax and not put too much pressure on himself, he said.

“I think it allowed me to climb pretty loosely, especially in the qualifiers, I felt like I had nothing to lose being the youngest one there,” he said. “I know I’ll have other opportunities in the future, and being so young, there’s really no pressure or expectations on me, so my main goal was just to have fun.”

Due to the pandemic, Duffy’s family was not able to attend the games in person and instead had to wake up each night of the event about 2 a.m. to watch the competition in real time. But Nancy Duffy, Colin’s mom, said it wasn’t difficult to stay alert.

“When your kid is going, you’re nervous,” she said.

“So it’s easy to stay awake at that point.”

Duffy hopes to compete again in the next Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, he said.

“I just hope in the future that climbing continues to gain recognition. I think it’s a sport that … people are really fascinated by,” he said. “It’s much different than the traditional sports you’ll see. Hopefully people that watch the Olympics really enjoy it and it starts to gain more traction.”

For those curious about the sport, Duffy has one main piece of advice: “Search for a local gym around you,” he said.

“Everyone should try climbing. It’s a very fun sport,” he said. “And probably very different than most people are used to.”

Kirkland Museum is Denver treasure Collection of about 30,000 objects remains in rotation

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the northwest corner of Bannock Street and 12th Avenue in Denver, bright yellow ceramic tiles beckon to anyone who can see them. They mark the entrance to the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art, where the visitor will find more than 30,000 works by more than 1,500 artists who worked

from 1845 to the present.

Three main collections include Kirkland’s collection of decorative arts, Kirkland’s own works and works by recent Colorado artists.

Colorado artist Vance Kirkland (1904-1981) had a studio and art school at 13th and Curtis Streets in Denver, which became a focus for many area artists to learn — and also to hang out with like-minded souls. Kirkland was also head of the Art Department at the University of Denver and instrumental in the development of contemporary arts in Denver.

Open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The museum is at 12th Avenue and Bannock Street in Denver. There is parking at the rear (west) side of the building.

Pearl Street studio was raised and loaded on a steel framework with wheels and on a Sunday, when traffic was at its calmest, slowly moved

across Denver to the present Bannock Street location, where funding by the Merle Chambers Fund settled it at a new location, attaching the studio to a long, low building where the collection could expand into special exhibitions in the center of Denver’s Golden Triangle Arts District.

The original studio is oriented as it was originally, with studio windows facing north and a large flat table holding paintings. Suspended above the table is a series of leather straps, on which Kirkland lay flat SEE MUSEUM, P32

Latest congressional map keeps House members apart Redistricting changes still possible; deadline Sept. 28

BY SANDRA FISH AND THY VO THE COLORADO SUN

The latest draft of Colorado’s congressional map avoids putting the state’s current U.S. House members into the same district, while creating a sweeping district across most of the Western Slope and southern Colorado.

The most heavily populated parts of north Douglas County would stay where they are in the 4th Congressional District. And the biggest cities in Arapahoe County — including Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Englewood, Greenwood Village and Sheridan — would be in the 6th District, along with the Columbine and Ken Caryl areas of Jefferson County.

The new 8th Congressional District in the north Denver metro region would be nearly 39% Hispanic. It would encompass Northglenn, Thornton, Brighton, Commerce City and Fort Lupton.

And the proposed 7th District, now centered in the north and west metro area, would include much of Jefferson County and stretch to South Park in the central Rocky Mountains.

The new map, released Sept. 15, groups most of the Western Slope and southern Colorado into a single,

L-shaped 3rd Congressional District.

Northwest high-country counties including Routt, Jackson, Eagle, Summit and Grand are grouped with Larimer and Boulder into a proposed 2nd Congressional District. And the new districts would no longer pit Garfield County Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert against Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse of Lafayette.

census data, and incorporates input from the public about previous drafts.

Commissioners voted earlier in September to base the latest map on one drawn by Commissioner Martha Coleman, a Democrat from Fort Collins who is a geographer.

The latest map would create three safe Democratic districts, three safe Republican districts and competitive 7th and 8th Congressional Districts, according to a report by nonpartisan legislative staff.

In three districts, the Hispanic population would make up more than a quarter of the total district.

The latest map is markedly different from two previous proposals.

Here’s a look at how the districts shape up: The 1st District centered in Denver remains safe for Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, with a 57% Democratic advantage The 2nd District still includes Boulder and Fort Collins, but stretches west to Routt County and includes Summit and most of Eagle County. It also includes Neguse’s home in Lafayette, and would give Democrats a nearly 34% advantage.

The 3rd District stretches from Moffat County in the northwest, south through Mesa and Pitkin counties to Cortez and La Plata counties, then east to Pueblo and Las Animas County. Unlike a map released earlier this month, Boebert’s Silt home remains in the 3rd District, and she’d have a nearly 10% GOP advantage.

The 4th District still includes much of the Eastern Plains, as well as Windsor and much of Douglas County. Incumbent U.S. Rep. Ken Buck of Windsor would have a nearly 27% advantage.

The 5th District includes most of El Paso County, except for some eastern areas that end up in the 4th District. It would remain safe for incumbent U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn with a 20% GOP advantage.

The 6th District includes most of Aurora and Arapahoe County, a safe seat for incumbent Rep. Jason Crow, of Centennial, with a 15% Democratic advantage.

The 7th District now includes most of Jefferson County, but also small portions of Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas and El Paso counties as well as all of seven mountain counties. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, of Arvada, would find himself in a potentially competitive district with a 6% Democratic advantage.

The new 8th District includes much of Adams and Weld counties, including Greeley, Thornton, Commerce City and much of Westminster. Democratic state Rep. Yadira Carveo, of Thornton, recently announced plans to run in the district, which has a Democratic advantage of about 4%.

The political competitiveness of the districts is based on an average of election results from eight statewide races between 2016 and 2020.

The percentages above represent the difference between the percent of votes cast for a Republican candidate and the percent of votes cast for a Democratic candidate.

There’s disagreement about what constitutes a “competitive district.”

Ray picked up his gavel and thumped the dais. The seven directors stood and walked out.

“Tri-County is lying to you and you know it,” a man called to directors as they left.

PRESENTS

Public comment had lasted hours.

One speaker after another took to the lectern, most lambasting school board directors about COVID-19 precautions in schools, including a masking mandate.

People cheered, shouted, jumped, flashed jazz hands, stood up in support of comments they agreed with and turned their backs on speakers they disagreed with.

Throughout the meeting, Douglas County School Board President David Ray struggled to maintain order, repeatedly asking people to refrain from outbursts.

Just shy of 11 p.m. that night, Director Krista Holtzmann said she wanted to address misinformation shared about the coronavirus during public comment. She spoke for nearly a minute, urging people to rely on public health agencies when sourcing information about the pandemic, including the Tri-County Health Department. (The health agency represents Douglas, Adams and Araphoe counties, although Douglas County commissioners are seeking to leave the agency amid disputes over COVID-19 responses.)

Then audience members interjected. “You work for us, not for them,” a man said from the back of the room.

Ray, the board president, cautioned that he would take a meeting break if interruptions did not stop.

But people continued talking over him.

It’s happening in a traditionally conservative county where all three county commissioners and many residents often have pushed back against school mask-wearing rules and other COVID-related restrictions.

The discourse is testing public officials as they grapple with keeping decorum and giving people a space where they feel they can talk freely.

For school board directors, that pressure comes as they also cope with a deluge of frustration directed squarely at them.

At the end of the Aug. 24 school board meeting, Director Elizabeth Hanson resigned, not as director but as the board secretary, citing the strain on her mental health from processing contentious emails sent to the board.

“The derogatory names and extreme aggression directed at board directors are some of the worst I have ever seen,” Ray told Colorado Community Media by email as she was traveling. “The task of maintaining an orderly meeting pales compared to the task of protecting others from such egregious attacks on their mental health.”

The district has weathered comparably tough times before, Ray said, but recent meeting behavior is still unusual.

“Sadly, there is an increase nationwide of individuals disrupting school board meetings,” Ray said.

“Social media sensationalizes these occurrences. In addition, there are political entities encouraging this behavior as a means to rile people up, especially in anticipation of an election.”

At times during public comment periods, community members have reacted to recent meeting conduct.

While some people said they do not approve, or were surprised by how much frustrations have esca-

lated, occasional commenters have remarked that they could empathize with parents who are fed up with pandemic precautions.

Modeling ‘inappropriate behavior’ Ray said there will always be issues that lead to disagreements, and that public comment combined with emails that board members receive show a near-even split between people who support and oppose masking requirements.

“I believe the emotional escalation of the mask issue is more of a reflection of the fatigue and extreme frustrations with enduring a global pandemic,” he said.

Disorderly meetings can hinder directors from conducting district business, Ray said, like considering budgetary items. But decorum is about more than keeping meetings running smoothly — it’s also about providing a respectful and safe environment for everyone present, he said.

At the Aug. 24 meeting, Ray went back and forth deciding whether to allow people to stand up when they heard comments they supported. He at first called the demonstration a good nonverbal way of expressing views during the meeting.

Later he questioned whether allowing it was emboldening vocal outbursts and deterring people from sharing different views.

Ray said by email that some of the behavior — such as people stomping when they stood up or “aggressive body movements” — fell short of providing “a safe space for those who wanted to share a different perspective.”

“When there is a large number of people representing the same perspective, it is highly intimidating for someone to speak with a different perspective,” Ray said by email.

“This intimidation is even more pronounced when some individuals heckle and shout disparaging things about a speaker’s comment that they disagree with.”

Ray said raucous moments left him disappointed that “adults are modeling inappropriate behavior for children,” and worried someone would be “emotionally hurt.”

He also felt anxiety “for our law enforcement who are present to SEE MEETINGS, P21

protect everyone in the room.”

County commissioners’ debate Douglas County’s board of commissioners ran into a similar situation at their Aug. 19 meeting where they decided to opt out of a TriCounty mask mandate for students and teachers in schools. During the first few public speakers, the audience, which filled up the hearing room and an overflow room, clapped in reaction to those supporting the opt-out.

After it happened several times, Commissioner Lora Thomas, who was serving as the chair that day, attempted to bring order to the room.

“We really want to hear from you so we’re just asking for some order in here so everybody can come up and speak, and we’re not going to have clapping in here please,” she said.

Moments later, Commissioner Abe Laydon broke in with his own perspective about the applause.

“As a point of personal privilege I’m going to ask the chair to walk back that decision. I think all of these people took their time out of their day to be here and as one commissioner, I’m OK with you expressing yourself however you’d like,” he said.

The audience responded with more claps and shouts of “thank you.”

Then, during the rest of the meet-

ing, attendees cheered in support of those who spoke in favor of opting out of the mask mandate and shouted out at the few speakers who spoke against it.

One speaker who opposed the county’s decision to opt out of the mask mandate began her comments with “My viewpoint differs from the majority here, but it’s still a valid opinion and please don’t laugh, as I didn’t laugh at you.”

Commissioner Thomas wrote in an email to Colorado Community Media after the meeting that the audience’s “emotional outbursts” had prevented those with the minority opinion from having a fair opportunity to express their views.

“This was a public hearing for all citizens to address their government to ensure that their voices were heard. And we failed,” she wrote.

“We are left to wonder how many more decided not to speak because of the hostile atmosphere in that room.”

‘It’s just disappointing’ Another speaker who called into the hearing virtually and spoke against the opt-out, Brian Clarke, was repeatedly interrupted by laughs and jeers during his comments to the commissioners.

Clarke said in an interview with Colorado Community Media that he was distracted by the audience’s outbursts during his comments.

“It’s just disappointing. It feels like a mob mentality when you have people feeding off each other’s energy. A room full of people that all agree with one another and don’t want to hear anything that doesn’t

reinforce their position, it’s just disappointing,” he said.

Commissioners also ran into struggles maintaining decorum during an April 27 meeting where Commissioners Laydon and George Teal proposed a resolution to censure Thomas over a dispute among the board members. Attendees repeatedly shouted out their reactions and comments from the gallery as the commissioners made comments from the dais.

The commissioners discussed the future of hearing room decorum during an Aug. 24 work session.

“Historically, all boards have asked for speech to be directed to the commissioners only, to wait until it’s their turn and not to have the emotion and outbursts from the audience because it is disruptive,” County Attorney Lance Ingalls said. “It can also be stifling to other people.”

Ingalls went on to say it’s up to the board how they will handle hearing room decorum and Thomas asked for a specific policy on the issue going forward.

“I think there needs to be a constant, a steady rule for the whole room so that the chair is not using his or her bias to decide who can have emotional outbursts and who cannot,” she said.

Thomas added that the state legislature does not allow applause or outbursts during testimonies.

‘I would ask for respect’ Laydon defended his stance on allowing applause in the room.

“What we saw in our hearing was reflective of the level of emo-

tion and the level of desire that our citizens have to be able to express themselves freely under the First Amendment,” Laydon said. “I think bad things happen when we decide to silence our public and tell them that our voices are more important than theirs.”

Thomas responded that asking for decorum isn’t silencing anyone.

“When people are clapping and cheering and shouting down people, that is when we are inhibiting people’s First Amendment rights,” she said.

Laydon pressed on, stating he believes that a certain level of applause from the audience is orderly, but that jeering and intimidation are not.

“For citizens to take a day off of work to sit in a four-hour meeting, to tell them to just sit there and be quiet, I don’t know any parent in this county that’s going to respond well to that. And I’m not going to be part of it,” he said.

Commissioner Teal voiced support of Laydon’s point of view and the commissioners moved on from the topic.

At the start of a Sept. 7 meeting where the commissioners planned to vote on the formation of their own health department, Laydon, then serving as chair, asked for order before public comment began.

“In Douglas County we welcome freedom of speech and your opinions,” Laydon said. “I would ask for respect, order and decorum in this hearing room. We’ll allow for that to occur but at any time if it is out of order or disrespectful I will call the meeting back to order.”

Dr. Fielding mentioned during the meeting. Any legal issues would be taken up in executive session with the board of health and (its) legal counsel,” An executive session is a closed-door meeting, often held to discuss legal questions.

to be in response to Bracken. Not all of Bracken’s comments were disrupted.

Claims of members ‘compromised’ What could be called the most controversial part of the meeting discussion is still almost entirely intact on the recording. That’s when Fielding references Colorado statute 18-8-306, a state law that prohibits coercion of public officials. The law bars “attempts to influence any public servant.”

“I have information directly about one case, and there may be other cases that I suspect, and this is concerning board members who have been basically compromised because they have had complaints filed against them,” Fielding said during the Aug. 30 meeting.

During the meeting, Fielding called the meeting itself “compromised” and said it should be canceled “until we can resolve the status of those board members.”

It wasn’t clear from her comments which board members Fielding was referring to or where complaints were allegedly filed, and she did not offer evidence to back her claims of coercion. Colorado Community Media reached out to Fielding with questions about the allegations, but she did not respond.

Asked about Fielding’s claims, Becky O’Guin, spokesperson for TriCounty Health, said on Sept. 1: “We ... do not have information on what

HIPAA a factor, Tri-County says During the Sept. 9 Board of Health meeting, after Bracken raised his concerns about the Aug. 30 meeting video, Fielding suggested that Tri-County staff contact Zoom to try to improve the quality of meeting recordings and recover some of what was fast-forwarded through; Bracken seconded that motion. The board voted it down.

An email from Bracken to other board members and county officials regarding the meeting video said: “I am requesting an investigation into tampering, censorship, and this illegal activity.”

A statement from O’Guin on Sept.

10 statement said: “TCHD staff did not edit the video of the August 30th Board of Health meeting and have no control over where the videos are compressed. That this issue occurred during Mr. Bracken’s and Dr. Fielding’s comments is entirely coincidental. Finally, the compression issue isn’t unique to the August 30th Board of Health meeting. It has occurred on recordings of other Board meetings as well as internal TCHD meetings.”

O’Guin’s Sept. 10 statement noted that the meeting videos often include places where the video is “compressed” and the sentences are unintelligible, meaning they sound like they are being “fast-forwarded” through.

MORE ON THE MASK DEBATE ONLINE 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.

O’Guin pointed to recordings of Tri-County’s previous three regular Board of Health meetings as examples of when the disruption occurred in the past. She noted disruption in the June 10 meeting at 45:14, in the July 8 meeting at 56:51 and 1:05:17, and in the Aug. 12 meeting at 33:07.

“We have talked to Zoom about this issue and have been told that, unless we record to the cloud, we will continue to experience these issues. Unfortunately, TCHD is prohibited from recording to the cloud

by HIPAA and must record the meeting on a TCHD computer,” O’Guin’s statement read. (“The cloud” refers to the use of remote internet services rather than software on a user’s own computer.)

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Asked how HIPAA applies to the situation, O’Guin on Sept. 13 said:

“TCHD has (an) enterprise-wide Zoom account with HIPAA-compliant features. TCHD staff use Zoom for telehealth appointments and other tasks that involve handling protected health information (PHI) on clients.” (Telehealth means the providing of health care or publichealth activities remotely via telecommunications technology, such as videoconferencing.)

“We have agency-wide HIPAA policies and procedures and through our Zoom account, staff are blocked from recording to the Zoom Cloud to reduce the potential for accidental disclosure of PHI because the Zoom Cloud is not HIPAA-compliant and not under TCHD’s control,” O’Guin continued. “We are looking into purchasing additional Zoom licenses that are outside of our HIPAA-compliant licenses to enable better Zoom recording quality.”

“We are considering an alternative Zoom account that lacks HIPAAcompliant features for public meetings,” O’Guin added.

Based on meeting length according to the official meeting minutes and the length of the recording, about 30 minutes was lost from the Aug. 30 meeting, according to O’Guin.

Zoom automatically converts recordings to an MP4 file when the meeting ends, and this file was uploaded in its entirety to Tri-County’s website, O’Guin said.

“The file cannot be fixed. This is how the video was converted by Zoom. Please note that TCHD isn’t required to post these recordings but did so in an effort to be transparent,” O’Guin said.

SUIT FROM PAGE 2

Health Care Policy and Financing Executive Director Kim Bimestefer, is to force Colorado to build a better spectrum of care so that children have more options other than emergency hospitalization, Farley said in an interview with The Colorado Sun. The state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing declined to comment, noting that it is against department policy to discuss pending litigation.

The lawsuit comes at a pivotal time for Colorado, where suicide is the leading cause of death for young people and Children’s Hospital Colorado recently sent up a flare for legislative help because its emergency room is crowded with suicidal and depressed kids and teens.

About 2,300 children received intensive community-based services through the state Medicaid department’s Children’s Extensive Support Waiver program, but in order to

September 23, 2021

Some families are desperate In many states, mental health treatment for children is so inadequate that families get to the point that the only safe place they can find for their child is a psychiatric hospital, he said. Each time their child is stabilized and released, the options for step-down programs, such as day treatment or residential centers, are “slim to none,” Farley said, so the child goes home until the next emer-

gency rush to a psychiatric facility.

The situation gets so dire that some families eventually refuse to take their children home, which results in the hospital calling child welfare authorities. Under the custody of the child protection division, children receive placement in a residential treatment facility.

“It gets to the point where families become desperate,” Farley said.

“They don’t see hope. They don’t see progress. They get to the point where we have to do something.”

Farley said he knows many kids, not just his 16-year-old Colorado client, who have had more than a dozen visits to the emergency room for psychiatric problems. “That’s not an unusual situation,” he said.

“It’s not just somebody falling through the cracks. If you’ve had to go to the emergency room 17 times, something is not working.”

In some cases, children are adopted from the foster care system and have severe mental disorders related to early childhood trauma, Farley said. Their adoptive parents struggle to get them help, despite having Medicaid coverage.

Residential programs, which cost about $700 or even $900 per day, have been shrinking in Colorado, leaving families and the state to seek beds out of state. Colorado needs to boost its options along the mental health treatment spectrum, including better in-home programs and community programs with the aim of keeping kids out of residential centers and hospitals, Farley said.

In May, Children’s Hospital Colorado declared a “pediatric mental health state of emergency” and said its emergency rooms were overwhelmed by children in psychiatric crisis. Mental health emergency room visits were up 90% in April compared with April 2019 and the hospital reported seeing three or four kids each week who had just attempted suicide.

congressional commission’s formula for determining the political competitiveness of a district.

“Measuring competitiveness by focusing on strong years for one party and ignoring 2014 — which was a strong year for the other party — is simply wrong,” Carroll said in a statement. “As a result, this could very likely end up a 4-4 map after the midterms, which is in no way reflective of Colorado

voters.”

Currently, four of Colorado’s seven U.S. House members are Democrats. Members of Congress don’t need to live in the district they represent.

A third congressional map drawn by staff may be released Sept. 23, if the commission doesn’t adopt a plan before then. The commission must adopt a map by Sept. 28 to submit to the Colorado Supreme Court

by Oct. 1.

qualify, children must have an intellectual or developmental disability.

Similarly, 163 children received services through the state’s Children’s Residential Program, but to qualify, children had to have a diagnosed intellectual disability.

The system is discriminatory, Farley alleged, when only certain children can qualify for residential care.

Farley initiated the lawsuit after receiving various calls for help from families in Colorado, he said.

“You just can’t flip a switch overnight and create a mental health system for children,” Farley said, explaining that any changes ahead for Colorado are likely to take years.

Brothers help power Englewood over Littleton Pirates win 19-14 at home in football contest against Lions

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood’s football team used support from Johnson & Johnson as a cure for an inexperienced offensive line during a 19-14 win over Littleton in a penalty-filled game played Sept. 16 at Randy Penn Stadium, the Englewood Pirates’ home field.

When we say Johnson & Johnson, we’re not writing about the company that develops medical devices and pharmaceuticals, but instead about senior brothers Gunner and Hunter Johnson.

Hunter Johnson is a safety, kick returner and wide receiver. Gunner Johnson is the Pirates’ quarterback.

Against the Littleton Lions, Hunter returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown to give the Pirates a quick lead. Then with 2:33 left in the game, he caught a 13-yard scoring pass from Gunner Hunter to provide the winning margin after Littleton had grabbed a 14-13 advantage earlier in the final quarter.

“They are so competitive with one another, let alone with the other team,” Englewood coach Mike Campbell said about the Johnson brothers. “They are like energizing bunnies, man, they just play. We’d love to play Gunner on defense some but he hits so hard I’m worried

he would be hurt. He doesn’t know how to be a Deion Sanders and usher you out of bounds.”

Campbell then explained the important of having

players like the Johnsons.

“We’re struggling up front right now. We started two freshmen, two sophomores,” he said. “And we had a starting center get hurt in prac-

tice and we had a center that hadn’t played in a varsity game. We have a lot of learning going on up front.”

It took Hunter Johnson just 14 seconds to push the

Pirates into the lead with the opening kickoff return.

“It is always good to get off to a good start, especially our team,” said Hunter. “It’s good to get that quick boost, get everybody pumped up and get the momentum on our side.”

Gunner Johnson, a 6-foot1, 165-pounder just like his brother, was sacked by the Lions’ Peter Braun on the Pirates’ game-deciding drive, which pushed the ball back to the 13-yard line.

But he connected with his brother on the next play for the winning TD. “I look for him all the time,” said Gunner. “He’s going to be open and I throw him the football. It was a big win for us. We were down, only dressed 17 players.”

Littleton, which snapped a 29-game losing streak with a win over Denver Lincoln in this season’s opener, was down coaches because of COVID protocols and defensive coordinator Ryan Wesley was the acting head coach.

“We were facing such an uphill battle,” said Wesley.

“I’m actually the fill-in head coach. We have seven coaches on staff, four of which weren’t able to be here. They got sick and were not able to be here.

“This was just last minute on Monday so we were rolling with just two coaches all the way up to the game and we got our third coach back. This was my first time having to call a varsity game.

The guys came out and left it on the field. They fought hard.”

Top-ranked soccer team can’t vanquish rival Castle View boys have to settle for tie against Regis Jesuit

Castle View, the topranked boys soccer team in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, ran into a stubborn opponent on Sept. 14 in its Continental League opener against Regis Jesuit.

The Sabercats of Castle Rock were coming off a 3-2 overtime victory over second-ranked Boulder and had chances to escape with another OT win but had to settle for a 1-1 tie against the Raiders in a match played at Lou Kellogg Sta-

dium in Aurora.

“It wasn’t one of our best games but a lot of that had something to do with Regis going real hard,” said Castle View coach Mark Burfeind. “We just tried to weather the storm and made too many mistakes.”

Aurora-based Regis grabbed a 1-0 lead after Sabercats keeper Ryen Royce came 20 yards out from the goal in an attempt to deflect a high shot only to see the ball wind up at the feet of Regis’ Joseph Bennett, who scored at the 16-minute mark of the first half.

“He (Royce) came out of the box and tried to hit it with his chest and it kind of rolled off his arm and right to them,” said Burfeind.

Senior Bailey Voit, off an assist by Antonino Piscitel-

la, tied up the match for Castle View in the second half in the 56th minute, but then the Sabercats were bottled up for most of the rest of regulation time as the Raiders applied offensive pressure.

“Like I said, they came out on fire and we never matched what they were doing and we struggled the whole game,” added Burfeind.

Castle View had at least two good chances to win during the two 10-minute overtime sessions.

Senior Jack Pucciano, who had 16 points in Castle View’s first five games, got free on a breakaway with 1:35 still to play in the first OT, but his shot was hanSEE SOCCER, P27

Junior Brycen Mhlanga set up both Littleton TDs with runs of 29 and 87 yards before being stopped at the one-yard line both times. Quarterback Timmy Higgins scored on quarterback sneaks both times and gave Littleton a 14-13 lead with 10:51 remaining in the game.

“What really hurt us was that opening kickoff,” said Wesley. “That’s

dled by the Regis goalie.

“Probably our overall best player got the ball on a breakaway and the keeper made a good save,” said Burfeind.

Then in the second OT, Chardel Moussata came in alone on the Regis goal but his shot sailed wide of the net.

“We moved one of our outside mids who is really fast up top and he got a breakaway and just hit it off the side of his foot,” explained Burfeind. “He had the whole goal open. Yeah, we had a few chances.”

Castle View has a 6-1 overall

the extra points on that scoreboard.

Their offense put up 12 so that one kind of is what it is.

“We come in to fight and we’re trying to turn the program around.

It’s been a losing program for so long.

If we have to go down, we go down swinging.”

Littleton, which is 2-44 over the past five seasons and hasn’t had a winning record since 2009-10, had the ball briefly twice after the Johnsonto-Johnson scoring pass but couldn’t generate an offensive push.

record after a 3-2 overtime win over Chaparral on Sept. 16 when Chardel Moussata scored the winning goal. Regis was 2-2-1 following a 1-0 win over Legend on Sept. 16.

“As bad as we played, a tie isn’t all bad in this game,” explained Burfeind. “It doesn’t hurt us. We had a pretty hard non-conference schedule and we got through that and so a tie isn’t all bad. We would have liked to have a win, but a tie is better than a loss. You look at the grand scheme of things, it is not a killer.

“I expected better but it was still one of those games when we didn’t play well. I told the boys it is minor, don’t let the highs be too high or the lows be too low and come back and be ready to go.”

nual volume of water which the Applicant is entitled to withdraw from the aquifers underlying the Applicant’s Property. G. Owner of Land Upon Which Wells are to Be Located. The land and underlying groundwater upon which the wells are located is owned by the Applicant. IV. Application for Approval of Plan for Augmentation. A. Structure to be Augmented. The structure to be augmented is the Fredell Well No. 1 as is currently constructed to the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer underlying the Applicant’s Property, and as will be re-permitted pursuant to this plan for augmentation, as requested and described herein along with any replacement or additional wells associated therewith. B. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation. The water rights to be used for augmentation during pumping are the return flows resulting from the pumping of the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer from Fredell Well No. 1, together with water rights from the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer for any injurious post pumping depletions. C. Statement of Plan for Augmentation. Applicant wishes to provide for the augmentation of stream depletions caused by pumping of the not-nontributary Dawson aquifer by one well herein. Water use criteria and their consumptive use component for replacement of actual depletions for the lots are estimated as follows: 1. Use. Fredell Well No. 1, will pump a maximum total of 1.4 acre feet of water from the Dawson aquifer annually. Such use shall be a combination of household use, irrigation of lawn and garden, and the watering of horses or equivalent livestock, or other outdoor uses to include the use of hot tubs, water features, etc. An example breakdown of this combination of use is household use at 0.25 acre feet, plus outdoor use including the watering of up to 2 horses or equivalent livestock with a water use of 0.022 acre feet per year (10 gallons/day/head or 0.011 annual acre feet per head); and irrigation of lawn and garden of 0.50 acre feet per year (0.05 annual acre feet per 1,000 sq. ft.).

2. Depletions. It is estimated that maximum stream depletions over the 100 year pumping period for the Dawson aquifer amounts to approximately 8% percent of pumping. Maximum annual depletions for total residential pumping from all wells are therefore 0.112 acre feet, in year 100. Should Applicant’s pumping be less than the 1.4 acre feet described herein, resulting depletions will be correspondingly reduced. 3. Augmentation of Depletions During Pumping. Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(9)(c.5), Applicant is required to replace actual stream depletions attributable to pumping of augmented wells to the Dawson aquifer. Depletions during pumping will be effectively replaced by residential return flows from a non-evaporative septic system. The annual consumptive use for non-evaporative septic systems is 10% per year per residence. At a household use rate of 0.25 acre feet per residence per year, 0.225 acre-feet is replaced to the stream system per year, assuming the use of a non-evaporative septic system. Thus, during pumping, stream depletions will be adequately augmented. 4. Augmentation for Post Pumping Depletions.

For the replacement of any injurious post-pumping depletions which may be associated with the use of the Fredell Well No. 1, Applicant will reserve water from the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer, less the amount of actual stream depletions replaced during the plan pumping period. Applicant also reserves the right to substitute other legally available augmentation sources for such post pumping depletions upon further approval of the Court under its retained jurisdiction. Even though this reservation is made, under the Court’s retained jurisdiction, Applicant reserves the right in the future to prove that post pumping depletions will be noninjurious. The reserved nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills groundwater will be used to replace any injurious post-pumping depletions. Upon entry of a decree in this case, the Applicant will be entitled to apply for and receive a new well permit for the Fredell Well No. 1, for the uses in accordance with this Application and otherwise in compliance with C.R.S. §37-90-137. V. Remarks. A. This Application was filed in both Water Divisions 1 and 2 because depletions from the pumping of the Dawson aquifer may occur in both the South Platte and the Arkansas River systems. The return flows set forth herein will accrue to tributaries of the Arkansas River system where the majority of such depletions will occur, and it is Applicant’s intent to consolidate the instant matter in Water Division 2 upon completion of publication. Applicant requests that the total amount of depletions to both the South Platte River and the Arkansas River systems be replaced to the Arkansas River as set forth herein, and for a finding that those replacements are sufficient. B. Applicant requests a finding that he has complied with C.R.S. §37-90-137(4), and that the ground water requested herein is legally available for withdrawal by the requested not-nontributary wells upon the entry of a decree approving an augmentation plan pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-137(9)(c.5). C. The term of this augmentation plan is for 100 years, however the length of the plan for a particular well may be extended beyond such time provided the total plan pumping allocated thereto is not exceeded. Post pumping stream depletions accrue to a particular well only to the extent related to that well’s actual pumping. D. The Court will retain jurisdiction over this matter to provide for the adjustment of the annual amount of ground water withdrawals to be allowed in order to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics from adequate information obtained from well drilling or test holes. E. The Applicant requests a finding that vested water rights of others will not be materially injured by the withdrawals of ground water and the proposed plan for augmentation. F. The well shall be installed and metered as reasonably required by the State Engineer. The well will be equipped with a totalizing flow meter and Applicant shall submit diversion records to the Division Engineer on an annual basis or as otherwise requested by the Division Engineer. The Applicant shall also provide accountings to the Division Engineer and Water Commissioner as required by them to demonstrate compliance under this plan of augmentation. G. The Applicant intends to waive the 600 feet well spacing requirement for any wells to be located upon the Applicant’s Property. H. The Applicant will comply with any lienholder notice provisions set forth in C.R.S. §37-92-302(2)(b) and §37-90-137(4)(b.5)(I), and such notice will be sent within 14 days of the filing of this application.

the 2nd day of November 2017 the then County Treasurer of the County of Douglas, in the State of Colorado, sold at public tax lien sale to FIG CAPITAL INVESTMENTS CO13, LLC the following described real estate situate in the County of Douglas, State of Colorado, to wit:

DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION NO. 2, COLORADO TO: ALL INTERESTED PARTIES Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are hereby notified that the following case is a portion of the resume of applications and amendments filed and/ or ordered published during the month of August 2021, in Water Division No. 2. The Water Judge ordered this case be published in the Douglas County News Press in Douglas County, Colorado.

This publication can be viewed in its entirety on the state court website at: www.courts.state.co.us.

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: 0.875 acre-feet per year of Dawson aquifer groundwater, as follows: 0.3 acre-feet per year for in-house use, 0.525 acre-feet per year for up to 10,500 square-feet of irrigation, 0.05 acrefeet per year for 4 large domestic animals. 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 Dawson Aquifer groundwater will be used for domestic purposes, including in-house use, irrigation, commercial, stockwatering, and fire protection, including storage, 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 flow from in-house use will be approximately 90% of that use and return flow 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).

DPS board votes to censure member for ‘disturbing pattern’ of behavior Report says Tay Anderson asked Douglas County teen for dates

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL, DANIEL DUCASSI, AND ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

Denver Public Schools board members voted 6-1 to censure fellow member Tay Anderson on Sept. 17, two days after a report detailing a six-month investigation into Anderson revealed he engaged in behavior the board deemed unbecoming.

Anderson was the only dissenting vote.

The censure followed a media briefing Anderson held outside the main offices of Denver Public Schools where he told a mixed crowd of supporters and protestors he will not resign.

Inside the boardroom, directors expressed relief that the most serious allegations of sexual assault against Anderson were not substantiated. But they also condemned actions cited in a 96-page report released on Sept. 15 revealing that, after being elected to the board, Anderson flirted with a 16-year-old student before learning her age and made social media posts that were intimidating toward witnesses.

The report also said that in 2018, when the then-20-year-old Anderson was running for his seat on the DPS Board of Education, he messaged a 17-year-old girl who was then a senior at a Douglas County high school, asking her on dates.

The report shed light on a “disturbing pattern” of inappropriate behavior and intimidation, said Board President Carrie Olson, who voted to censure Anderson.

Olson said she does not believe that Anderson needs to resign.

“I do think he needs to learn from this experience,” said Olson, adding that she voted with “a very heavy heart.”

DPS School Board Director Tay Anderson speaks at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early ColPHOTO BY KEVIN MOHATT/SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO SUN lege in Denver last September.

Board member Angela Cobián, however, said she hopes “Anderson reconsiders his participation on this board as secretary and as treasurer.”

Anderson “does not merit a seat on this board,” Cobián said.

Other board members echoed disapproval of Anderson’s behavior.

“He is in a position of authority and leadership in Denver, but he has set no boundaries between his personal behavior and his powerful role on the school board,” board member Barbara O’Brien said.

Board member Bradley Laurvick said board members need to set an example in their personal conduct.

“Our commitment is to uphold the highest ethical standards,” Laurvick said. “The highest ethical standards do not include flirting with DPS students or anyone of student-age, behaviors the report substantiates.

The highest ethical standards do not include coercion and intimidation, behaviors the report substantiates. I support a motion of censure because this is how we as a board demonstrate there is a line and it was crossed.”

Olson noted that outside of a censure, there is no disciplinary action the board can take.

Anderson, 23, offered fiery remarks in his defense and told the board he had been targeted because of his race.

“Is this 1955 or is this 2021?” he asked. He compared himself to Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black boy from Chicago who was brutally murdered while visiting Mississippi in August 1955 after allegations that he harassed a white woman.

“False allegations aren’t anything new to this country,” he told his board colleagues. “On March 26, 2021, false allegations of sexual assault led my life to change forever.

That was the day I became known as a rapist in our community.”

Anderson recounted the racist slurs and profane words that have been leveled at him in recent months. He also hit on how the lives of his family members, including his 4-month-old son, have been threatened following the allegations.

Anderson said he acknowledged his mistake in flirting with a 16-year-old, noting that he has owned up to his missteps and cooperated with investigators.

The heavily redacted report, completed by Investigations Law Group, found that Anderson engaged in

“flirtatious social media contact” with a 16-year-old DPS student after he was elected to the board, and that he posted threatening social media messages during the investigation.

Anderson told investigators he didn’t know the girl was underage and that he broke off communications with her when he learned her age. The probe turned up no additional evidence of inappropriate conduct with her.

But the investigation found “it was more likely than not” that in 2018, before he was elected to the school board, he made unwelcome sexual comments and advances toward members and associates of the board of directors of Never Again Colorado, a student organization at University of Denver.

Anderson, who graduated from Manual High School in 2017, was employed by DPS at the time, but investigators found no connection between his work for the district and his participation in Never Again Colorado.

The investigation found no evidence to support allegations that he sexually assaulted 62 DPS students.

The allegations were made by a DPS parent during a testimony to state lawmakers in May, but the report questioned her credibility.

After the censure, Anderson said he wants to put his focus and the board’s focus back on students.

“Today is just a day for us to close this chapter and be able to move forward together,” Anderson said to a crowd of supporters and reporters. “The board has spoken. They censured me, which means…they disapproved of my actions. Now it’s time to get back to work for our children.”
