To protect the town against the negative impacts of continued
development in the neighboring unincorporated areas of Douglas County, the Castle Rock Town Council approved the first steps in developing a new permitting process.
Castle Rock is adopting the new process under the state’s 1041 Regulations, which is a law enacted in 1974. The point of the law is to give local governments more control over large-scale projects. SEE COUNCIL, P24

In the election that ends Nov. 2, Douglas County voters will elect four members of the county school district’s Board of Education, a majority of the seven-member panel. Ballots go into the mail starting Oct. 8. Amid contentious debates over COVID-safety rules and equity in education, two slates of school board candidates have emerged, one in line with the direction set by the current board majority and the other saying it’s time to follow a new path. The school board members represent different parts of the county but they are elected “at large” by all county residents. The News-Press sent questions to each candidate to help voters learn more about them. We asked why they’re running, what qualifies them for office, and what their priorities would be if elected. Turn to Pages 6-9 for our candidate Q&As. And for more coverage of candidates and issues in Election 2021 here and in neighboring communities, visit douglascountynewspress.net.

Douglas County schools keep COVID mask rule District sticks with mandate despite health-board change
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.
BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County School District is still requiring that masks be worn inside its schools, its superintendent confirms, even after a public health order on masks dissolved in Douglas County. “The Douglas County School District will continue to require the wearing of facial coverings inside all school buildings (including neighborhood, magnet, and charter schools) for all students, staff, and visitors regardless of vaccination status,” Superintendent Corey Wise said in a letter to district families dated Oct. 1. The Douglas County Board of Health met for the first time on Sept. 30 as the county continues to distance itself from the Tri-County Health Department over objections to COVID-safety rules. Board of Health members confirmed with county legal staff that a previous health order from TriCounty’s Board of Health requiring people 2 and older to wear masks inside schools and childcare settings was no longer in effect in the county. The order dissolved in Douglas County once the new Board

The Douglas County Board of Health members took the added step of approving a motion stating it will not implement the former mask mandate moving forward, which they said would clearly communicate to Douglas County residents where board members stand on masking children. Despite Douglas County formally leaving the Tri-County Health Department, it will continue contracting with Tri-County for health services through at least 2022. The school district had followed Tri-County Health’s masking mandate since it took effect Sept. 1. In his Oct. 1 letter to parents, Wise noted that despite the lack of a public-health order requiring masks in Douglas County schools, Tri-County Health, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and various other health agencies “continue to recommend universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to PreK-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status.” Wise also noted that district board policy “requires management of communicable diseases in accordance with CDPHE and (Tri-County Health) guidelines.” He said the district’s schools are “still subject to the Tri-County Health Department’s quarantining rules,” and that without a mask-wearing requirement, Tri-County would require the distroct to implement stricter quarantine requirements in case of COVID outbreaks. Wise has not granted Colorado Community Media’s requests for an interview on the matter. A Sept. 29 letter sent by TriCounty Health Executive Director John Douglas to the Douglas County School District acknowledged that
schools and childcare centers “will no longer be required” to comply with the Tri-County Health countywide health orders. However, the health agency can still order a school to close, issue isolation and quarantine orders, and other measures to lessen spread in outbreak and high-risk settings, he said. “TCHD staff, as the provider of disease control and investigation services, will continue to provide guidance on controlling the spread of COVID-19 within our schools and will be available to answer questions and provide technical assistance to school leaders in Douglas County related to COVID-19 and public health,” the letter said. The letter strongly encouraged schools to continue requiring universal masking for everyone inside school buildings. The school district’s mask requirements have been the subject of much debate at recent meetings. At the Sept. 28 Douglas County School Board meeting, about 20 people voiced opposition to masking mandates in schools while roughly 10 supported masking or mandates. Owen Wicks, a 16-year-old sophomore at STEM School Highlands Ranch, said he has a sensory processing disorder that makes the feeling of touch difficult. He spends several minutes each morning adjusting his socks or getting a new pair altogether until they feel comfortable, he told directors. “I don’t like when my family hugs me,” he said. Masks “make my skin crawl every moment I wear them.” That becomes a distraction as he tries to learn, he said. Owen and his mother, Amity Wicks, said they could not find a doctor to write a medical exemption and his school required him to continue masking without one. Owen, who called masks ineffective and mandates illegal, hopes to see mask mandates go away. Other parents decried efforts to enforce masking in schools, alleging teachers required pushups from students who did not comply or took photos of unmasked students, and called it intimidation. District parent Kelly Pointer called masking a minor inconvenience and thanked the school board for requiring masks in schools. Stephanie Ford, a mother of two district students, said she was appalled by misinformation shared about virology during public comment and that data shows masking works in containing COVID-19. “It is not your personal right to be a public health threat,” she said.

COVID cases rise among Colorado school-age kids That’s despite an overall downward trend statewide BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN
Cases of COVID-19 among children ages 6 to 11 are on the rise and remain the highest among any age group as the state’s overall case rate is decreasing, public health officials said Oct. 1. While coronavirus infections are gradually declining among most other age groups, Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state’s epidemiologist, said the state will continue to monitor the new trend among those school-age children who are still ineligible for vaccines. Kids under the age of 12 remain the only group still ineligible for vaccination because no vaccine has yet been approved for them. But attention on the group will intensify in the coming weeks, as the drug maker Pfizer goes through the final processes of getting its COVID-19 vaccine authorized kids ages 5 to 11. Pfizer last month released data showing that its vaccine — at a much lower dose — is safe and effective in children ages 5 to 11. The company has submitted that data to regulators at the federal Food and Drug Administration, which has scheduled public meetings for later this month to discuss approval of the vaccine for kids in that age group. A decision to grant emergency authorization for the vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11 could come as early

as Halloween. Despite the downward trend of cases among the general population, hospitalizations remain high. As of Oct. 1, 829 people were hospitalized in Colorado with COVID, 78% of whom were unvaccinated, data show. Nearly 89% of the state’s ICU beds were in use, though not all of them were filled by people being treated for COVID-19. “We are at an incredibly high rate of hospitalizations compared to where we want to be,” said Scott Bookman, the state’s COVID incident commander. “So while we are beginning a downward trend here, we really need to see these hospitalizations go down significantly before we’re going to feel comfortable with the capacity that we have as we start going into the colder weather period and people start moving indoors.” “This continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Bookman said.

Learn the sounds of fire safety Alarms provide varying tones for different reasons STAFF REPORT
How easy is it to ignore a beep or a chirp coming out of your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm? During Fire Prevention Week Oct. 3-9, Castle Rock Fire and Rescue wants to help residents understand alarms better to be prepared in the event of a fire. When an alarm makes noise — take action. What is the alarm trying say? A continuous set of three loud beeps from a smoke alarm means smoke or fire. Get out, call 911, and stay out. A continuous set of four loud beeps from a CO alarm means carbon monoxide is present in the home. Get outside to fresh air and call 911. A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds from the smoke or CO alarm means the battery is low and must
be changed. Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced. Throughout the week, tune into the town’s social media channels @ CRgov for more tips, or visit CRgov. com/SmokeAlarms to learn more. Coloring contest To help Castle Rock students engage with Fire Prevention Week, the fire department is hosting an annual fire safety coloring contest. This event encourages kids to “Learn the Sounds of Safety” in a creative way. Five winners will receive a presentation by the fire department at their school, including an ice cream party for their entire class. Winning entries will also be made into a decal and placed on the side of a fire truck where it will ride for a year. The contest is open to third through sixth-grade students. To enter, have student speak to their elementary school teacher, or email FireEducator@CRgov.com with questions.

As the number of patients continues to increase, Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHC) has announced a cutback in services at locations across the metro area due to staffing shortages. While the south campus in Highlands Ranch will remain open with all services, as of Sept. 23, services at other facilities such as Wheat Ridge and Parker will be reduced or closed. Sarah Davis, CHC media relations specialist, said hospitals specializing in treating children across the U.S. are struggling for a variety of reasons. Due to the continued challenges, the news release provided by Davis said CHC will be consolidating services wherever possible to continue providing efficient and effective healthcare. As of Sept. 23, CHC made the following changes: • Temporary suspension of afterhours virtual urgent care services. • Temporary closure of the urgent care services at Children’s Colorado’s Wheat Ridge and uptown locations. • Temporary suspension of Children’s Colorado’s services at Parker Adventist Hospital, resulting in a temporary closure of this location. The Parker Adventist emergency department remains open. Urgent care services will remain unchanged at the CHC South Campus in Highlands Ranch and the north campus in Broomfield. Davis said besides the urgent care center keeping regular hours in Highlands Ranch, the emergency room will remain open 24/7. Cara Welch, director of communications for the Colorado Hospital Association (CHA), said the recent announcement from CHC is no surprise as hospitals across the state and nation are struggling to maintain staffing levels as patient needs are increasing. Welch said from the start of the pandemic, CHA has focused on the three S’s — Space, Supplies and Staffing. While bed space and supplies are not the issue they were a year ago, hospital staffing is a major problem, she said. Welch said there are a variety of reasons hospitals and medical organizations are seeing a shortage. While COVID cases continue to surge and take up funding and energy, she said hospitals are unable to get traveling nurses and added resources. “Other factors really driving the current conditions in the healthcare workforce is burnout,” Welch said. “Healthcare workers are either tired and taking a muchneeded break or they are leaving the industry altogether.” Davis said, “Staffing chal-
lenges are being seen across many business sectors, not just healthcare. However, regarding healthcare workers, it is likely a result of several factors. Healthcare workers have been at the forefront of the pandemic for the past year and a half, and everyone’s resilience is at a low.” Welch said it is a perfect storm of issues that will continue to be a problem as COVID vaccine mandate deadlines have now approached. With Oct. 1 being the first established deadline set by the state for healthcare workers to get the first round of the vaccine, Welch said healthcare organizations statewide have a lot of stress and anxiety over what will happen. Healthcare workers are mandated to have the second vaccine by Oct. 31. Welch said current state regulations require hospitals and medical organizations to be 100% percent compliant. This rule is unattainable, she said, with religious and other exemptions. Welch said CHA is working with the state to get the mandate decreased to 90% compliance, which is what is required for the influenza vaccine among healthcare workers. Currently, Welch said, each individual medical organization will be required to make sure healthcare workers comply with the vaccination mandates. As they start the process of determining who is following the state and federal rules, Welch said each organization will take action as required. “As healthcare providers, all hospitals want their staff to get the vaccinations,” Welch said. “But there are always exemptions, and that 100% threshold should be reduced. Our hospitals and the healthcare industry have really been put in a difficult spot.” Davis said the Children’s Hospital believes in the vaccinations. “Children’s Hospital Colorado believes vaccines save lives,” she said. “Requiring our team to be vaccinated affirms our commitment to the safety and care of our team members, patients and their families.” The announcement for Children’s Hospital to cut services came after a summer where administrators have expressed concerns over the growing demand for youth medical care. Mental health issues continues to rise, COVID cases have increased with the delta variant and an unexpectedly high number of respiratory viruses have continued. Welch said, like CHC, hospitals across the state are reporting not just an increase in unvaccinated COVID patients, but also in mental health cases and respiratory virus cases. All of this is happening as hospitals are gearing up for the unknowns of an upcoming flu season, she said. To find out if a Children’s hospital in certain areas is open, or operating on reduced services, visit the website at www.childrenscolorado.org/locations, or call the CHC ParentSmart Healthline at 720-777-0123.

Commissioner appointed to state’s forest council Laydon notes wildfire risk in Douglas County STAFF REPORT
Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon has been appointed by Gov. Jared Polis to the state’s new Colorado Forest Health Council, according to a press release from the county. The 26-member council to which Laydon was appointed is a volunteer stakeholder body that will advise the governor through the executive director of the Department of Natural Resources and the Colorado General Assembly on issues, opportunities, and threats impacting Colorado’s forests. “As a commissioner in a county which is at significant risk of wildfire, I am honored to have the opportunity to help shape our state’s forest management, wildfire risk management policies,
and priorities for the future,” Laydon said, according to the release. The council, previously housed at the Colorado State Forest Service, was reconstituted through SB21-237, with a broader focus and more diverse membership representing all corners of Colorado, according to the release. Its updated mission includes improving forest health in Colorado through integrated, sciencebased approaches, with a focus on collaboration among federal, state and local governments plus private and nonprofit partners to mitigate wildfire, restore ecological health, safeguard communities and water supplies, mitigate and adapt to climate change, support local economies and protect recreation amenities, including across jurisdictional boundaries.

Years living in district: 11 years Campaign website: JuliForDCSD. com Why do you want to serve on the school board? When we moved to Douglas County 11 years ago, all anyone told me was that we needed to live in the Douglas County School District. When my kids enrolled in DCSD, I was shocked by the turmoil caused by the reformer school board. Since the current board’s election in 2017, I have seen significant progress towards improved academic achievement and teacher
retention. Unfortunately, the pandemic has taken the focus away from these achievements. I am running because I believe in the direction of the current board and want to continue this important and valuable work that benefits our students. What would you say are your most important qualifications for the office you’re seeking? I am a DCSD parent who has been involved as a classroom volunteer and a PTO leader the past 10 years.

District B includes the west and southwest parts of Douglas County, including the west Castle Rock area, Roxborough and Larkspur. District D in southeast Douglas County includes Castle Rock east of I-25 and Franktown. District E in the north-central county includes Castle Pines and parts of Lone Tree.

Here are their responses, edited for clarity.
Candidates for Douglas County School Board, District D
Ruby Martinez Occupation: I am an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, specialized in psychiatric mental health nursing. Years living in district: 11 years Martinez Campaign website: Families4RubyMartinez.com Why do you want to serve on the school board? I highly value education and people. I think that education is the key to a prosperous and caring society that understands that we are all interdependent upon each other for our well-being and safety. School is the microcosm where students can learn and make mistakes in a supportive environment. Students thrive in a welcoming safe learning environment. The challenges that they meet and overcome in school will help prepare them for their future as an informed, productive and valued
member of our community. What would you say are your most important qualifications for the office you’re seeking? As I progressed through my journey in academics, culminating with a Ph.D. and a faculty position at the University of Colorado School of Nursing, I understood how critical it was to have built a strong and stable foundation of knowledge to build upon. This foundation, for me and I believe for most others, was laid in my grade school and high school experience. I want our children to build a strong educational foundation for their own futures. I also bring an extensive background in leadership and management. If elected, what would be your first priority in office? The function of the board is to set priorities for the use of the district’s resources to ensure SEE MARTINEZ, P7
Becky Myers Occupation: I’m a retired Douglas County school teacher and started full time at Ranch View Middle School in Highlands Ranch, in 1997. Myers Years living in district: I have lived in District D since 1993. Campaign website: Vote4kidsfirst.com Why do you want to serve on the school board? I decided to run for school board this election year because I felt the current school board did not value parental voice and the lockdown of keeping kids from in-person learning did not show common sense decision making. There are many other alternatives to engaging students in the learning process and much of the data coming out today show a rise in mental health, low academic scores and stressful situations which could
have been avoided.
What would you say are your most important qualifications for the office you are seeking? My qualifications to run for school board are that I’m an educator, a mother, grandmother and the many years I spent as an employee in this district. I know what an excellent school district looks like and we can fix the issues that have eroded Douglas County over the years, especially during 2020. If elected, what would be your first priority in office? If elected, I will have two main priorities I would like to see addressed right away: To make a plan for how we can get our students back on track academically and emotionally after the chaos of the last 18 months dealing with COVID restricted learning. We need to see to it this district makes a full recovery. SEE MYERS, P7

developmental disabilities, I will be a strong advocate for our IEP/504/2E students, families and staff. If elected, what would be your first priority in office? Building relationships and trust within the district and between the district and the parents and taxpayers that we serve. Trust is a prerequisite to uniting the community and aligning to common, shared goals. We need to put parents, teachers, and principal back in partnership with each other to refocus on core academic recovery, growth, and achievement. Trust with our taxpayers will be essential to closing teacher compensation gaps with surrounding districts and securing funds to meet the growth requirements of the district and ensure excellence in education. What in your view is the greatest single issue facing the school district and how would you address it? The district currently lacks leadership — the current board has done many things to the staff, teachers, parents, and students of Douglas County instead of doing things with them. They have advocated health decisions to unelected bureaucrats and supported mandates over individual choice. Their policies have created distrust and pitted parents against parents, parents against teachers, and teachers against students. Effective leaders discover shared values and align diverse groups

they are used in an efficient and effective manner to support the educational and social needs of our children. We need to maintain a wide variety of learning choices, extracurricular activities, mental health and social services for our students. A first priority is for - students to be aware of what ree sources are available to them and their families. What in your view is the greatest single issue facing the school district and how would you address it? I am concerned about the mental health needs of the students after the difficult year we all had with COVID-19. COVID was a huge disruption in all our lives. Parents and students struggled to meet the demands of the new normal over that year. It is important to recognize the myriad of emotions students might have, and to provide appropriate structure and support as they reintegrate in the new normal today. We want students in
toward common goals. Leaders succeed only when they can cut through differences of race, sex, age, nationality, ability, and personality and tap into those needs and values we all share. As things stand now, should students be required to wear masks in class, or should mask wearing be voluntary? The decision to mask or not mask should be made by parents and teachers based in their individual risk assessment and specific circumstances. Based on the latest Tri-County Health Department Data, COVID-19 is not a significant threat to the 0-18-year-old population in Douglas County. The average age of COVID-related death in Douglas County is 81 years old. There has been 1 COVID-related death in the 0-18 population in Douglas County since March of 2020 and the current 14-day rolling hospitalization rate is 0.45 per 100K people in the 0-18 age group in the Tri-County Area (i.e. 1 in 222,200 chance of being hospitalized). Source: https:// data.tchd.org/covid19/ (7 Sept 2021 data) What are your views on the district’s current policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society? As with all curriculum, racial issues should be presented with a balanced and accurate viewpoint that acknowledges the positive and negative aspects of American history and promotes critical thinking. Any curriculum or instruction that advocates for an extreme social agenda or position, on any side of the political spectrum, to the exclusion of opposing views or critical analysis and evaluation would be inappropriate.

fective communication is one of the key elements of a successful school district, and I will bring that expertise to the board. If elected, what would be your first priority in office? My first priority is ensuring all DCSD students and staff maintain in-person learning in a safe and healthy environment. It is imperative that our students and staff have the stability and support they need to move past all of the distractions from the pandemic and be able to focus on learning. Pandemic aside, I want to stay focused on supporting our students by continuing to invest in mental health and ensuring that all students have access to the educational opportunities they need to be successful. What in your view is the greatest single issue facing the school district and how would you address it? Currently, navigating through this pandemic is the single greatest issue facing our school district because it affects everything else. However, the key challenges we faced before COVID-19 are still there. Pandemic aside, we need to build on the amazing academic progress since 2017 — DCSD graduation rate is now the highest in the Denver metro area — and find ways to keep investing in mental health, and creating solutions that honor every student’s experience, ensuring that ALL students
have access to the quality education they deserve.
As things stand now, should students be required to wear masks in class, or should mask wearing be voluntary? Currently, there is a mask mandate in place for all persons, regardless of age or vaccination status, in school settings. This mandate, put in place by the TriCounty Health Department, does not offer an opt-out clause, and DCSD is obligated to comply with the order. Anyone who claims that the school board has the authority to not comply with a health department mandate is incorrect. And the overwhelming majority of health experts on every level — local, state, national and worldwide — agree that masking is key to reducing transmission in schools and increasing the success of in-person learning.
What are your views on the district’s current policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society? DCSD has no policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society. DCSD follows the K-12 Colorado Academic Standards, and I, of course, support that. Inclusion of American Minorities in Teaching Civil Government (HB19-1192) and Holocaust and Genocide Studies in Public Schools (HB20-1336) are two recent pieces of state legislation that help guide the standards, curriculum, and assessments for all Colorado students, including those in DCSD. We have incredible teachers, I trust their ability to teach our students to think critically, and I do not support censorship.
MYERS FROM PAGE 6
As things stand now, should students be required to wear masks in class, or should mask wearing be voluntary? The safety of our children is a top priority. The science is clear that wearing a mask significantly decreases the risk for airborne transmission of COVID-19. For those students who are fully vaccinated, masks should be voluntary. For those students not yet able to be vaccinated, wearing a mask should be mandatory to best protect all of the children.
To implement a “Parent Choice Plan” that will allow parents to make decisions surrounding their child’s health and well-being at school.
What are your views on the district’s current policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society? The curriculum should be an accurate reflection of our past and present-day events. I think it is possible to teach historical events and to look at the events from various viewpoints without placing blame, with a goal of a deeper understanding of how the event affected all involved and how the world has evolved.
As things stand now, should students be required to wear a mask in class, or should masks be voluntary? I believe parents know best when it comes to making decisions for the health and wellbeing of their students, so I support parent choice.
What in your view is the greatest single issue facing the school district and how would you address it? Douglas County is divided as a community and parents do not feel they have a voice. Parents are taking a more vocal interest in their kids’ education, because remote learning enlightened them as to what is being taught in the classrooms. Parents know that kids learning remotely removes them from the social interactions with their peers and teachers. Online all day on has more negative impact mentally than dealing with an infectious disease that has little effect on children and adolescents. We need to provide our students with opportunities to learn in the classroom every day.
What are your views on the district’s current policies regarding teaching racial issues in American society? In the context of the district’s “Educational Equity Policy,” I feel parts of this policy are divisive and teaches students their skin color or gender matters more in life than the content of their character. Racial issues in the history of our nation should definitely be taught in a historically accurate and non-political way. We are not perfect, but we learn from our mistakes.

Candidates for Douglas County School Board, District G
Krista Holtzmann Occupation: Attorney; currently volunteering full-time as DCSD School Board Director Years living in district: 20 years Campaign website: Holtzmann www.krista4kids. com Why do you want to serve on the school board? It’s been my honor to serve as a volunteer director on our board of education for the past four years. I continue to be grateful for the wonderful PK-12 experience our own sons received in DCSD, and I would like to continue supporting our family of schools. It remains important to me that we provide excellent educational opportunities for each and every student to help them reach their own full, unique potential. I’m excited to continue this important work.
What would you say are your most important qualifications for the office you’re seeking? Though I began learning about the challenges facing our schools as a mom volunteering in classrooms and at school activities, the experience I’ve gained over the last four years as a board member is critical. Our district needs stable leadership to continue the progress we are making. My education and experiences as an attorney frequently help me analyze complex situations and data to make decisions in the best interests of our students. And as the daughter of a teacher, and a former preschool teacher myself, I understand the resources teachers need to best educate our students.

Kaylee Winegar Occupation: Associate director of corporate accounting for a financial services company Years living in district: 16 years in Douglas County, four Winegar years in District G Campaign website: vote4kidsfirst.com Why do you want to serve on the school board? My 5-year-old daughter is my biggest motivation for wanting to serve on the school board. When I drop her off at school every day, I want to feel at ease knowing that the teachers and administrators at her school are filling her head with knowledge focused on academics. That she’s in an environment filled with positivity and fulfillment. I want all parents to have that contentment. Unfortunately, some of the decisions
and directions the current board is making does not support those simple needs. I want to change that.
What would you say are your most important qualifications for the office you’re seeking? My first most important qualification is that I am a mother to a current DCSD student. I have skin in the game for the next 13 years and want my daughter, and all kids of Douglas County, to thrive and feel prepared for life after high school. Growing up, I was taught to respect and honor teachers. Mostly due to having a mother who is a teacher, and who taught in DCSD for 15 years. Conversations about her career experiences throughout the years has aided me in knowing what helps teachers thrive and feel purpose in their career. SEE WINEGAR, P9

public charter and neighborhood schools.
If elected, what would be your first priority in office? My first priority is to continue work on the board’s strategic plan in regard to academic excellence, including equitable learning opportunities for all students to allow students to reach their full potential. Our teachers, parents, community members, and e students provided extensive feedback regarding our strategic plan when we developed it. It is important we continue to focus on this work uninterrupted. Identifying the resources each student needs to be successful, for both college and career pathways, will improve academic achievement and post-secondary readiness. Retaining and recruiting high quality teachers, who love teaching in DCSD, will help us meet that goal. What in your view is the greatest single issue facing the school district and how would you address it? The greatest single issue

maintaining in-person learning, as free of disruptions or transitions as possible. In order to achieve this, I would encourage working in accordance with public health experts to implement appropriate comprehensive mitigation strategies. Beyond navigating the impact of a pandemic, I would continue supporting the strategic plan, developed with significant community input. Just as Superintendent Corey Wise has prioritized this year, I would focus on enhancing social-emotional support for students and staff, emphasize efforts to support literacy, and professional learning communities. Also continuing to support implementation of a predictable salary schedule for all employees.
What in your view is the greatest single issue facing the school district and how would you address it? We must continue creating learning and working o environments whose cultures make each and every student and employee feel
is to keep our students back in classrooms for fulltime in-person learning. We need to ensure our teachers have the support they need and to stay healthy to educate students during the pandemic. There is ample evidence to suggest that when we follow the recommendations of health experts, we increase our chances of successful in-person learning. Last year, teachers and school staff experienced one of the most challenging school years in their careers. With teacher shortages occurring across the state, we must provide our teachers with a safe and supportive learning environment and continue to increase compensation. As things stand now, should students be required to wear masks in class, or should mask wearing be voluntary? It is my highest priority to keep our schools open for in-person learning so our students can learn better and receive the social and emotional support they need. The delta variant is much more contagious and affects children more severely. Children under 12 are not eligible for vaccination. If enough students and teach-
they belong. This requires a community-wide effort. Seeking to understand and communicating with respect are ways I’m committed to leading. As demonstrated when our board met with all charter leaders to develop a successful bond plan (which included charters for the first time in DCSD history), I believe working together is essential. Expanding social emotional learning resources, and enhancing professional learning communities develops stronger networks of support, ultimately reinforcing a DCSD culture of taking care of one another. As things stand now, should students be required to wear masks in class, or should mask wearing be voluntary? Our board policies direct the management of communicable disease be done in accordance with the CDPHE or TCHD. Our policies support safety, but also support maintaining in-person learning with as little disruption as possible. This leads us to require masks be worn within our schools at this time. Mask wearing is a situation, like so many others, where one’s freedom maybe limited when one’s own right to free-
ers experience infections, schools will have to shut down and return to remote learning. The recent TriCounty Health mask mandate has reduced transmission of COVID within our schools. I will use sciencebacked data from CDC, AAP, and TCHD to guide my decisions on when to require masks. What are your views on the district’s current policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society? DCSD has no current policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society. The board passed an education equity policy to fulfill our commitment to ensure that every student and staff member has access to equitable and rigorous educational opportunities, and to provide an inclusive culture to ensure all students, staff, and community members feel safe and valued. DCSD is not changing its curriculum to incorporate critical race theory with this policy. All instruction in DCSD is, and will continue to be, aligned with Colorado Academic Standards. We should let teachers do their job without the risk of censorship.
dom places another at risk of harm. Face coverings are a critical part of our overall comprehensive mitigation efforts at this time, and an opportunity to care for one another. What are your views on the district’s current policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society? Multiple policies address “teaching,” but none are exclusive to racial issues. For example, GP IB states that “academic expectations will be clearly articulated and supported with appropriate curriculum.” Policies address curriculum development, instructional resources, educational equity, and curriculum standards. Policies identify the Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) as the expectations for what DCSD students need to know. The superintendent is tasked with maintaining systems and processes to provide developmentally appropriate instruction, authentic and relevant learning opportunities, and meeting the post high school interests of students. Current policies provide a strong framework to address teaching all topics contained within CAS.

WILLIAMS FROM PAGE 8
What in your view is the greatest single issue facing the school district and how would you address it? Currently, our community is very divided. We need leadership who will create partnerships and not further community polarization. We need directors who seek to eliminate the chaos that has caused division between parents and teachers, teachers and students and parents with other parents. I would seek to take these additional responsibilities off the plate of teachers so that they can do what they do best, teach. As things stand now, should students be required to wear masks in class, or should mask wearing be voluntary? I will always advocate for parents to choose what is best for their children especially when it comes to medical decisions. What are your views on the district’s current policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society? History is so important to learn; the good, the bad and the ugly. It should be taught with no bias but with balance and facts. This goes for all issues including race.
WINEGAR FROM PAGE 8
If elected, what would be your first priority in office? Build trust in the school board. A big reason I, and others, do not trust our current school board is because we don’t feel represented. We don’t feel like anyone on the current school board is fighting for what we feel is best for our kids. Once our community has trust that those on the board are fighting for their best interests, then real progress can be made. What in your view is the greatest single issue facing the school district and how would you address it? Our current district leadership has chosen to take a threatening approach, especially recently, in getting their way. This intimidating tone is filtering down into our schools and encouraging a culture of fear, negativity, and divisiveness. I want to change that tone, and promote a culture of compassion, positivity, and reason. No more fear for school staff who just want to educate and enrich our kids. No more fear for kids who just want stability. I want to get in there and set an example of hope, optimism, and strength. As things stand now, should students be required to wear masks in class, or should mask wearing be voluntary? Health experts are split on whether mask wearing is effective for kids. For something that isn’t settled science and is causing a culture of threats, segregation, lists, and bullying at school, the right choice to me is to bring back the choice of mask wearing. Bring back the normalcy that existed without issue the first two weeks of school. What are your views on the district’s current policies regarding the teaching of racial issues in American society? I am not aware of any specific district policies about teaching racial issues in American society. American history lessons about slavery and civil rights in our classrooms should include the good, the bad, and the ugly, as long as it is truthful. Any teachings that include non-historical facts should be presented as such, and not presented as actual history. It is a disservice to those who were mistreated in our history to have their true experiences misrepresented.

Redistricting panel sends congressional map forward Commission approves plan by 11-1 vote on deadline BY SANDRA FISH, THY VO, AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
The 12 members of Colorado’s Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission agreed on an overhaul of the state’s U.S. House districts Sept. 28 in a vote taken minutes before a self-imposed deadline. The map would create three safe seats for Democrats, three safe seats for Republicans and two seats that could go either way. Under the plan, the Adams County cities of Northglenn, Thornton, Commerce City and Brighton would be part of the brand-new 8th Congressional District, as would most of Westminster and the Weld County city of Fort Lupton. The plan would leave virtually all of Douglas and Elbert counties where they are now, in the 4th Congressional District. The populated western sections of Arapahoe County, including Littleton, Englewood and Centennial, would be in the 6th District along with adjacent areas of Jefferson County, like Ken Caryl and Columbine. Most of Jefferson County would be in the 7th Congressional District, while Clear Creek County would be assigned to the 2nd District.
The proposal was approved by an 11-1 vote just before midnight after seven rounds of voting and hours of contentious debate. The map was sent to the Colorado Supreme Court, which could adopt the plan by Nov. 1 or send it back to the commission for revisions. Legal challenges are expected. The map being sent to the court is an amended version of a staff plan released earlier in September. It received votes from three Democrats, four Republicans and four unaffiliated commissioners on the 12-member panel. Democratic Commissioner Simon Tafoya, a Denver Democrat, was the lone vote against sending the proposal to the Supreme Court. Eight votes, including from two unaffiliated commissioners, were required for the map to be approved. “Despite the proverbial bumps in the road, … together we have changed the course of congressional redistricting in Colorado, and provide an example for the rest of the country,” said a tearful Commissioner Lori Schell, an unaffiliated voter from Durango. The map, should it be approved by the court, will be used in the 2022 congressional elections in Colorado, the outcomes of which could determine partisan control of the U.S. House. Democrats currently control four of Colorado’s seven congressional seats.
The final proposed map of congressional districts in metro Denver counties, adopted Sept. 28 by Colorado’s Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission. The map is now before the Colorado Supreme Court for approval.

A Public Health Services Message from your Commissioners It’s time to separate fact from fiction. Fact: We are committed to the delivery of exceptional public health services to Douglas County consistent with the specific needs of our communities and the following three tracks on which Douglas County has been traveling for the past year to achieve just that: •
Governance – Today, 49 of the 64 counties in Colorado have already chosen a single-county, locally-controlled board of health model. We join those counties in doing so because the unique needs of our citizens and our size at 357,000 demand it.
•
Continuity of Core Services – Public health services in Douglas County are budgeted and will continue through 2022 with the existing Tri-County Health Department (TCHD) through an intergovernmental agreement between Douglas County and TCHD.
•
Understanding the unique public health needs of Douglas County – A public process, led by Douglas County and a team of public health experts, is underway to identify the unique public health needs of our communities through the implementation of a Community Health Assessment and a Public Health Improvement Plan, both requirements of state law for all public health agencies.
Fact: The Douglas County Health Department budget will be cost effective and based on the outcome of these processes, funding for which would be a combination of the County’s general fund, state and federal grants, as well as charges for specific services. Fact: As we transition to your new, expert-advised but locallycontrolled Douglas County Health Department, we remain committed to an outcome that public health in Douglas County will be exceptionally tailored to your unique needs, cost-effective, with no gaps in services. We hope you will stay connected with us as we endeavor to keep you regularly updated regarding your new Douglas County Health Department.

MAP FROM PAGE 10
The most competitive district under the new map would be the new, heavily Hispanic 8th District based in the north Denver metro area and stretching into Greeley. Democrats would have a 1.3 percentage point advantage in the district, based on the results of eight statewide races between 2016 and 2020. Colorado’s seven incumbent U.S. House members would still live in their respective districts under the proposal, though in some instances those districts would be vastly different. Meanwhile, some announced and potential 2022 congressional candidates in Colorado will find their homes drawn into the districts they were planning to run to represent, while others won’t. Here’s a look at the eight districts in the new map: The 1st District would continue to be Denver-centric and a safe Democratic district for Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette. The 2nd District would cover the northwest Colorado counties of Routt, Jackson, Larimer, Grand, Clear Creek, Gilpin, Jackson and Summit, and also include most of Boulder and Eagle counties. It would also include parts of Weld County and more than 1,800 people from Jefferson County. It would be a safe Democratic district for incumbent U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, a Lafayette Democrat. The 3rd District would include most of the Western Slope and southern Colorado, including Pueblo. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Garfield County Republican who represents the district, would have a solid 9.3 percentage point advantage, per historic results. Democratic state Sen. Kerry Donovan of Vail, who is running to unseat Boebert, would live in the 2nd District. The 4th District would be compromised of Douglas County,

including Castle Rock, as well as Loveland and other parts of Larimer County. The Eastern Plains, including Weld County and eastern Adams and Arapahoe counties, would also be in the district, which would remain a safe district for Republican Rep. Ken Buck, of Windsor. The 5th District would be centered in Colorado Springs, including military bases in El Paso County, and would remain a safe Republican seat for U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn. The 6th District would remain anchored in Aurora and include much of Arapahoe County, as well as parts of Adams, Jefferson and Douglas counties. It would remain a safe Democratic district for U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, of Centennial. The 7th District would be a reconfigured, competitive district including much of Jefferson County but also Lake, Park, Teller, Chaffee, Custer and Fremont counties in the central mountains. Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, of Arvada, currently represents the district. A potential Republican challenger, state Rep. Colin Larson, of Ken Caryl, would be just across the border in the 6th District, though members of Congress don’t have to live in the district they represent. The new 8th District would include the north Denver suburbs of Thornton, Commerce City, Brighton and Northglenn, as well as most of Westminster and all of Greeley. Democratic state Rep. Yadira Caraveo, of Thornton, has already announced her bid for the seat, but the competitive nature of the seat is sure to entice Republican challengers.

Collaboration is key to your most valuable players
s part two of the series on “Retaining Top Talent,” and following up on last week’s column on connection, today we will visit the role that collaboration plays in keeping top talent. Some of the most productive meetings WINNING I have ever been a part of included WORDS collaboration. Whether it was just two of us or several people in the room, harnessing the power of collaboration always yielded the greatest results. Think of the world we live in for Michael Norton a moment. We are social beings communicating and sharing information through social media. Although there are those of us who prefer to work alone, the lone wolf mentality has slowly become a thing of the past. We now recognize and understand the value in collaborating with those around us, especially those who are a bit smarter and have additional insights to offer. One of the key challenges that has plagued organizations of all
sizes is that of operating in silos, where departments, and individuals work independently with minimal communication. This is a clear recipe for disaster and yet it is still happening today. The frustrating thing for most companies is that this doesn’t need to happen. Even in the age of the remote workforce, managing and motivating the remote worker, and communicating remotely, it has never been easier to collaborate. Shared information inspires shared thinking. And shared thinking is the foundation of productive collaboration. As one of my colleagues reminded me recently, we may not always agree, but if there is an understanding that there are no bad ideas, only better ones, we can increase our chances of coming up with new and better solutions or approaches to solving problems. Collaboration goes a long way to ending the blame game. Instead, we lock arms as we collectively determine the best path forward. Everyone today is looking for an advantage. No one wants to start a new job and feel like they have a huge learning curve, enduring weeks and months of feeling inadequate until they learn the products, processes,
and systems of their new company. Job seekers are looking for organizations and teammates who will help expedite their learning and accelerate their success. Think of it the same way that we see the Most Valuable Player awards given out in professional sports. Whoever receives that award will first recognize their teammates and their coaching staff and typically never take any of the credit themselves. They understand what NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning meant when he said, “The most valuable player is the player that makes the most players valuable.” Just imagine how awesome our companies, teams, and newly hired teammates could be if we all aspired to help one another to achieve the goals and objectives of the organization while helping to meet and exceed our personal aspirations. Recently we hosted a leadership focus group. It was a very strong group of business owners and top executives. It was a 90-minute discussion on the current thinking around leadership training and the gaps in leadership development for today’s leader and the future leaders of tomorrow. We also invited
some students to participate. One student was bold enough to share his thoughts and insights. And as I watched the people in the Zoom meeting, many were taking notes as this young man spoke. Sometimes it becomes so easy to think we have all the answers, and we don’t need anyone else’s input. It’s also easy to make the wrong assumption that others have all the answers and they do not need insights or input from us. We hope that they will figure it out, leaving them on an island. Our research tells us that the lack of collaboration and support is one of the reasons people leave their position, team, or employer. Does collaboration happen naturally in your business or on your team? Is there room for improvement when it comes to connecting and collaborating? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can work together to create more valuable players, it really will be a better than good year.

We can fight isolation
T
he COVID pandemic has greatly impacted older Coloradans on many levels, and one area that has been greatly exposed is the social isolation of older adults in communities across Colorado. Many older LIVING & adults, prior to the pandemic, suffered AGING WELL from social isolation. However, government recommendations to isolate as the pandemic was ramping up compounded the fear of leaving home, and increased the effects of isolation on so Jodi Waterhouse many people. Isolation makes us sick! Research has proven that prolonged periods of social isolation contribute to the risk in stroke and heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, poor sleep quality and common colds, plus so much more. Isolation also impacts our thinking, function and mood.

This can result in impaired cognitive function, decline in motor function and gait speed, increased depression and increased risk of suicidal thoughts and suicide. Isolation also increases the risk for early death by nearly 30% and prolonged isolation has been associated with the health risks equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Why are older adults at higher risk for social isolation? Some risk factors older adults are more likely to face include living alone, retirement, loss of family/friends, agerelated health problems, mobility and/or hearing impairment or lack of transportation. How can social isolation be reduced? There are several options that can help address social isolation in older adults. Many programs are available through universities, high schools and nonprofit organizations that pair older adults, volunteers or students to become phone partners and regularly schedule social conversations to help make new friends and create connections outside of one’s
normal network. Colorado is very fortunate to have many of these types of programs available. Other options to help combat social isolation include working to change mindset and thinking more positively about isolation. Engaging in lifelong learning opportunities, participating in exercise classes and possibly learning more about the use of mindfulness to help with relaxation techniques are just a few strategies to consider. Older adults will need to determine which of these suggestions is the best fit and provide the most joy in their daily lives. With the new delta variant and uncertainty of the direction the pandemic will take, it is important to take care of one’s physical health to help positively impact emotional and mental health during these uncertain times. Humans thrive when socially connected, and an understanding of how to take care of your physical and mental well-being by becoming connected with new friends, resources, services and learning
opportunities will help ensure that aging well will take place in our communities across Colorado. Jodi Waterhouse is the director of outreach programs at CU Anschutz Multidisciplinary Center on Aging (MCoA). This column is hosted by the Seniors’ Council of Douglas County. Please join us for our next virtual online presentation from 10-11 a.m. on Nov. 4, when Waterhouse will present about the variety of programs and updates available to Coloradans through the MCoA, to include older adults and students teaming up to reduce social isolation through the COAST-IT program and a glimpse of campus activity directed toward ensuring that older Coloradans age well.

HEALTH FROM PAGE 1
Linda Fielding, Doug Benevento and Kim Muramoto. Fielding and Muramoto previously represented Douglas County on Tri-County’s Board of Health and Benevento serves on the county’s public health advisory committee. Muramoto was not able to attend the meeting, so Kevin Bracken, a Castle Rock Town Council member and briefly a brief member of the Tri-County Board of Health, stood -in for her. Benevento, an attorney who once served as the head of Colorado’s Department of Public Health and Environment, was selected by the board as its president. Thomas was chosen as the vice president of the board and Teal was voted as the secretary. The county commissioners appointed the health board members during a Sept. 14 meeting. Board members began the process of hiring an executive director for the new health department by directing county employees to consult with a staffing agency for a national candidate search. During the meeting, the board’s legal counsel, Chris Pratt, spoke about the recent agreement reached between the new health department and Tri-County. Under that contract, Tri-County will continue to provide all its services to Douglas County until at least 2022 but the new board of health will oversee countywide public health orders. Services that will continue include restaurant inspections, nutrition counseling, maternal and child health services and disease control, among others. The agreement was approved by Douglas County commissioners during a Sept. 28 work session. The county will continue to pay its proportional share of the cost of TriCounty services, according to the agreement. In 2021, the county paid $2.5 million for services, according to a spokesperson. The contract states that TriCounty could continue services for Douglas County into future years as well. Under the cost agreement, the county will also be required to pay a “proportional share” of any expenses if Tri-County dissolves in 2022 or 2023. That includes costs from layoffs, unemployment, temporary employees and others. Outside of those costs, the county will be required to pay up to $360,000 in any expenses associated with its withdrawal. Tri-County will still be able to

enforce site-specific public health orders in Douglas County, such as restaurant closures for noncompliance with health standards, Pratt said. Several members of the public complained about this ability during public comment, saying it was a loophole for Tri-County to still implement things like mask mandates for specific schools. Tri-County also serves Adams and Arapahoe counties. While the first meeting of the new board already dissolved any existing public health orders from Tri-County, the board took the added step of voting not to continue a mask mandate for all schools. The board plans to meet again Oct. 13 at 3 p.m. and is set to discuss a possible new public health order that would allow parents to opt their children out of wearing masks and would limit quarantines. Meetings can be watched virtually or in-person and are recorded for later viewing. More information is available online at www.douglas. co.us/board-of-health. Douglas County commissioners voted on Sept. 7 to form their own health department after Tri-County’s Board of Health decided to no longer allow any entities to opt out of public health orders and put in place a mask mandate for all students.

But the urban route could take a decade to complete BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
T
he final stretch of the walk from Denver Union Station to the Buell Public Media Center on 21st and Arapahoe has become a lot shadier ... in a good way. More than 30 Shumard oak trees line the sidewalk on 21st Street from Lawrence to Larimer. And although they are currently in above-ground tree boxes (i.e., not there permanently ... yet), they are a small part of what city leaders believe will be an enduring, “transformational” addition to Denver: The 5280 Trail. A project of the Downtown Denver Partnership (DDP), the 5280 Trail is a 5.280-mile trail that, once complete, will encircle downtown Denver, connecting neighborhoods and landmarks. When the design process for the trail began in 2019, it drew comparisons to New York City’s High Line. In an interview with Rocky Mountain PBS, officials with the DDP said the project that most inspired them was the Cultural Trail in Indianapolis. The 5280 Trail is designed to connect high-traffic neighborhoods like La Alma/Lincoln Park, Capitol Hill and LoDo, to name a few, while also making stops at popular destinations like Union Station, Coors Field and the Colorado state Capitol. “We’re in desperate need of open space and park space in our city and near our neighborhoods, and this is really meant to provide that space,” said Andrew Iltis, the director of economic development at DDP. “We began to look around the country to see some really great examples of how these types of trails were being integrated into urban environments,” said Tami Door, DDP’s president and CEO (Door is leaving her post in November). Door cited four goals that implementing the 5280 Trail would meet: “Creating a mosaic of districts, increasing bike mobility, connecting neighborhoods, (and) creating an outdoor downtown.” “This is a very big vision,” Door added. “This is the type of infrastructure project that will transform our city and the way our neighborhoods and people connect with each other.” In terms of the size of the project and how it would change the city’s urban landscape, the 5280 Trail, Door said, is “on par” with the 16th Street Mall. Projects of this size come with a big price tag and a long timeline. Though the tree boxes on 21st are emblazoned with “Coming Soon!,” Door told Rocky Mountain PBS the goal is to have the trail totally completed in 10 years, adding that certain sections, including the one on 21st Street, will be entirely built out before then.

As for funding, DDP officials said the 5280 Trail will come to fruition through a combination of public and private dollars. Door said that “hundreds of thousands of dollars” from the private sector have already been put forward for early planning and exploratory trips to other cities like Indianapolis. When it comes to public funds, the DDP is banking on $7 million earmarked for the 5280 Trail in the City of Denver’s $450 million General Obligation bond package. The package, which also includes about $37 million for purchasing and improving homeless shelters, as well as plans for a new arena at the National Western Center, goes before Denver voters in November. The 5280 Trail funding is included in Denver’s Question 2C: “Constructing a segment of an urban trail and pedestrian walkway in downtown Denver”. If passed, that $7 million will go toward building out the 5280 Trail on Acoma Street from 10th Avenue to 12th Avenue. The city has already committed $850,000 to the planning (but not the construction) of the 21st Street segment — which will extend from Benedict Fountain Park to Coors Field — and that will be the first
part of the trail to be developed. “Here’s the power of that: Once the public starts to see what something really looks like, the private dollars start to come faster and faster,” Door said. “Especially people who have investments in different neighborhoods and they’re excited to bring the trail to their neighborhood.” Presently, no money has been identified for the actual construction of the 21st Street segment. Denver City Councilman Chris Hinds, who represents District 10, said the segment on 21st is estimated to cost $30 million to complete. If the voters approve the Acoma Street segment’s funding as part of the GO bond package, “the segment will be 100% realized,” Hinds told Rocky Mountain PBS. Door said she isn’t worried about funding. “We have 100% no concerns that we will get the money,” she said. “This vision is very powerful. It’s transformational. It supports so many varied aspects of our community: visitors, employees, residents.” People who live and work on this particular section of 21st are used to these types of transformations: For two months in the summer of 2017, 21st between Larimer and Lawrence closed to traffic and became “The Square on 21st,” another one of DDP’s projects. The Square on 21st was designed to show the potential of the 5280 Trail. Since then, the same section of 21st was closed to traffic in order to create a pop-up park during the MLB All-Star Game in 2021, and it also hosted this year’s Oktoberfest. What the 21st Street section of the 5280 Trail will look like is still to be determined. There are currently two options for the trail’s 21st Street segment. The first option is a “trail” design, which would close the street to motorists (excluding emergency

vehicles) and create a shared trail for cyclists and pedestrians. The second option is called a “shared street” in which cars would be allowed. Brett Boncore is a senior engineer with the city’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure and the project manager of the 5280 Trail on 21st Street. He told Rocky Mountain PBS that reintroducing a tree canopy to downtown Denver will be a “huge piece” of the 5280 Trail. And, Boncore added, the 21st Street segment of the 5280 Trail will help inform the design of the remaining parts of the trail. “Whatever is designed on 21st, we can learn from and apply to the rest of the 5280 Trail,” Boncore said. But that doesn’t mean the design for the 21st Street section of the trail will extend for all 5.28 miles. Some sections could have the shared street design, while others could have carfree trails, Boncore explained. “It won’t look the same along the entire route,” added Iltis. “It will definitely relate to the place and that’s really important. That’s important to make it interesting as you move around the trail, but it’s also important to make sure that the community feels that value.” In La Alma Lincoln Park, for example, the hope is to commission new artwork that fits in with the culture and history of the neighborhood. “Every place should feel special and have its own distinct identity,” Door said, “but yet still be threaded together with a commonality of what it means to be Denver.” This story is from Rocky Mountain PBS, a nonprofit public broadcaster providing community stories across Colorado over the air and online.

‘Print Renaissance’ opens at Littleton Museum Selection of 18 works includes works from masters of medium BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Print Renaissance: Mid-century Masters of American Printmaking” opened at the Littleton Museum on Sept. 23 with a low-key “pARTy,” presented by the Friends of the Littleton Library/Museum. Dan Jacobs, from the University of Denver, led gallery tours to talk about printmaking and this particular group of 18 prints, loaned by the Polly and Mark Addison Collection at the University of Colorado Art Museum in Boulder. Jacobs reminded visitors about the collaborative nature of printmaking: four people involved, including a
master printer perhaps. Or more — on one Robert Rauschenberg work, there were as many as nine people involved, with six colors, aluminum and a lithograph stone. There is “excruciating detail,” Jacobs said. Regarding: How do you know when you are finished? Jacobs offered a Rauschenberg quote: “It’s not what we started out to do, but it’s a good piece.” Area art lovers had a chance to get acquainted with Rauschenberg’s work at the Museum of Outdoor Arts gallery in Englewood in recent years. Louise Nevelson’s piece includes foil with a wrinkled surface, while Red Grooms’ whimsical “Ruckus Taxi” is a three-dimensional work, a casting with printed paper surface. Not all prints are framed wall pieces! Fritz Scholder’s “Hopi Dancers” is a moody work from an edition of
75. His artworks are included in the Denver Art Museum’s collection and appear there frequently. As an indigenous artist, he brings some varied elements to his works. Viewers may be more accustomed to seeing smaller traditional prints, such as etchings, where the printmaker used a sharp tool to cut an image into a copper plate, which is then inked and run through a press. Early books were sometimes illustrated with etchings, engravings or woodcuts, but these techniques are not shown in this contemporary collection. Andy Warhol’s prints in the exhibition are made from photographic portraits — still another approach. His “Untitled” is an image of a transvestite, Jacobs noted. There are two works with similar content by Frank Stella — a “Black Stack” and another of the same image in delicate multiple colors, which Jacobs said “blew him away.”
Be sure to take an extra look — “It is said to have 41 colors — a very exacting process,” he added. Other artists with works included in this most interesting exhibit, displayed in the Littleton Museum’s fresh, light gallery, include major contemporary names: Richard Diebenkorn, Josef Albers, Louise Nevelson, Herbert Bayer, Ronald B. Kitaj, Claes Oldenburg, Jean Charlot, Helen Frankenthaler, Jim Dine and Sam Francis. This is really a don’t-miss opportunity for area art lovers to experience something different with works by major artists. The exhibit run through Oct. 16 at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S.

After graduating from high school, Jake Smith didn’t think he’d make it in college. He struggled academically and he didn’t have the money to afford more education until he joined the Army. For nine years Smith served as an active member, seeing military subsidies as his only path to affording tuition. At the age of 28, Smith finally enrolled at Arapahoe Community College (ACC) and used the GI Bill to cover the cost. But he wished there could have been a different way. “To ask people to go through some of the things that I had to go through just to get a GI Bill, I don’t think that’s fair,” Smith said. “We were in bad situations and we needed to do something to get out of those situations.” But beginning in 2023, millions of Americans may for the first time ever have the choice to attend a community college for free, no strings attached. Democrats in Congress are currently hashing out the details of an ambitious multi-trillion-dollar budget bill, dubbed the Build Back Better Act, which at press time included a provision for universal tuition-free community college for every American, a cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s economic agenda. “I’m completely for it,” Smith said of the proposal. “If we’re going to require people who live here in America to contribute to society but they have to go to college to do so, I don’t think that we should be making people pay.” Removing barriers At ACC — based in Littleton, with campuses in Parker and Castle Rock — the idea of free community college is exciting for some faculty members. “I’m a huge fan of the idea,” said Monica Fuglei, chair of the English department at ACC. For Fuglei, it was a scholarship that allowed her to attend college when she was an undergraduate. “I often tell my students that was the difference between me sitting in the chair that I sit in today and perhaps being elsewhere in the world,” she said. Fuglei said Congress’ proposal would be a massive step toward removing the economic barriers of higher education. Even at a college like ACC, which offers lower-cost annual tuition students can still struggle financially. ACC’s tuition for residents this year was $3,680, but after piling on books, room and board and other expenses, the price for a degree can jump to more than $23,000. For non-
Arapahoe Community College could be one of hundreds of schools across the country that begins offering a tuition-free education under a proposed government bill. PHOTO BY ROBERT TANN
residents, it can be up to $31,606. Fuglei said she has known numerous students who have had to drop out, often because they could no longer afford the cost. “Those are really tough days,” she said. “I have had students for whom the cost of college became too big … and that’s always very heartbreaking for me.” But the prospects waiting for students on the other side of their twoyear degree could mean a world of difference, said Fuglei. Along with the ability to pay for just two years of education for a bachelor’s degree, as opposed to four, those with an associate degree are often met with more jobs and greater financial stability. “(Students) often leave our school and go straight into industry jobs in the area,” Fuglei said. “That’s a big impact on an institution, and the idea of expanding that to me is really exciting.” Smith, the ACC student, said his time in college is setting him on a path for success. “I love ACC … I feel like I’m getting a valid, solid education,” he said, adding that free community college could help further remove the stigma that he feels still surrounds two-year education. “When I was growing up, the focus was on people going to the fouryears, CU, CSU or even out of state,” Smith said. “But (community college) can really help steer you where to go and you aren’t in an incredible amount of debt.” But the road toward free community college remains murky. ‘Devil’s in the details’ Congressional Democrats at press time remained at odds over the final price tag of the Build Back Better Act, which is expected to receive no Republican support. This means the bill will have to pass through a special process known as reconciliation, which requires nearly all
Democrats to vote in favor of it. A date for when the bill will be brought to a vote has yet to be solidified, although lawmakers are aiming for one within weeks. Because of this, the final details of the proposal are likely to change, including those regarding free community college. For Stephanie Fujii, president of ACC, there are many questions about the proposal that still need answers. “The challenge, like everything, is the devil’s in the details,” she said. “Just because community college is free doesn’t mean there isn’t a cost that’s incurred. How we’re going to be able to manage that as a state in Colorado is going to be something I look forward to.” About 61% of ACC’s funding comes from tuition, according to Fujii, who said “that’s a significant portion to be able to come up with.” The U.S. House Education and Labor Committee, as part of its role in crafting the legislation of the budget bill, has already approved $111 billion to fund free community college beginning in the fiscal year 2023 and lasting for five years until 2028. But that money alone will not be enough to fully fund colleges. States will have to make up the difference in order to provide their students with no-cost tuition. In a state like Colorado, that poses some difficulty. According to Joe Garcia, chancellor for the Colorado Community College System, the federal law currently being drafted is based off national tuition averages, but Colorado’s tuition costs slightly exceed the national average. This means for schools like ACC, Colorado would need to spend more money to subsidize tuition under the current proposal. Garcia said he and other education leaders from around the country have been in talks with the SEE COLLEGE, P24

needed throughout the pandemic.” Starting out by offering food donations through her garage, Everett’s idea of helping in Douglas County continued to grow. The Backpack Society eventually moved to a donated facility, which she said was out of the way and hard to find. In March, the Backpack Society moved to what Everett hopes will be a forever home at 213 W. County
Line Road in Littleton. The new facility allows the volunteer organization to store and donate food more consistently, Everett said. As schools returned to in-person learning this year, Everett said she got back to working directly with local schools to make sure students were getting enough food throughout the week. After starting with one school
PRESENTS
More than a year after its inception, the nonprofit organization Backpack Society continues to grow, both in helping to feed local families and students and in expanding its facilities. In 2020, Highlands Ranch resident June Everett knew of students and families in Douglas County who were going hungry. Early on, data showed nearly 300 students in just Highlands Ranch, and 8,000 districtwide qualified for free and reduced lunches. Everett knew there was a need and started a pilot program with ThunderRidge High School where students could receive food in backpacks throughout the week. Everett said that back in early 2020 the plan was to start the pilot program to see how things would go. Then, the pandemic hit, and students were sent home for online learning. That meant more students going hungry, she said. “The need just grew overnight,” Everett said. “We knew that if a student needs help, the entire family does too. We continued what we were doing for families as often as

in 2020, the program has grown to providing students with food in 25 schools in Lone Tree, Sedalia, Highlands Ranch and Littleton. Everett said the number of students requesting assistance fluctuates from week to week. The highest number of students receiving help in a given week has been 45. For families, Everett said, the Backpack Society is handing out between 20 and 25 food boxes a week to families throughout Douglas County and the region. “From the start, I knew there was a need just by looking at the numbers,” Everett said. “In reality, there are just kids who need help, and we are here to keep providing it.” In the future, Everett said she is going to continue working to expand the program by partnering with local schools to build food pantries that will also provide snacks and food assistance to any teachers in need. Everett said the program is completely confidential and another goal in the coming year is to get more publicity to notify those in need that help is out there. Helping raise awareness about the important services the Backpack Society offers, a special ribbon-cutting ceremony was scheduled for Sept. 28 at 4 p.m. at the new location. Backpack Society is 100% reliant on donations and grants to keep the doors open. To learn more, visit the website at backpacksociety.org.

Robotics tourney pays tribute to STEM School hero Denver East High event named for Kendrick Castillo BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Angelbotics — Denver East High School’s robotics club — hosted about 40 middle-and-high school robotics teams for Colorado’s Energy Day Festival on Sept. 25. The robotics teams came from across the state to participate in the festival’s Kendrick Castillo Memorial Tournament, which pits robot against robot. (Castillo was the teen who was killed while confronting a shooter at STEM School Highlands Ranch in 2019; he competed in the event in years past.) The Angelbotics is a year-round extracurricular activity. The team consists of about 40 students, freshman through senior, who are divided into four subteams — public image, which designs the T-shirts and website for the team; strategy; programming; and manufacturing. The subteams make it so that each student can participate in the club, no matter their talents or skills, said Joel Noble, Angelbotics’ coach and engineering teacher. The team has art and business students, as well as those interested in STEM careers, Noble added. Colorado’s Energy Day Festival is an annual event and always takes place at East High School, 1600 City Park Esplanade. It could not take place last year because of COVID-19. Noble said he is extremely proud of the students’ accomplishments, following a year and a half of uncertainty, including not knowing what would happen to teams such as the Angelbotics. “The kids have done some really amazing stuff,” Noble said. “They kept the team together. They made it happen.”

federal government to find ways to address state budgetary constraints and ensure that the legislation, should it pass, works for everybody. Despite the hurdles, Garcia said he is committed to championing free community college for all Coloradans. “We need to change our expectations for what a minimum education should be, and we should be prepared as a society to pay for it,” Garcia said. Students see opportunity For high school students debating their future, free community college could open doors. “It would be great,” said 17-yearold Elmer Julian “EJ” Herra, a senior at Littleton High School. Herra said he has thought about attending ACC and then transferring to a university to complete a bachelor’s degree. But he fears the full cost of four-year education is too high and is now mulling trade school. But if ACC should become free as part of Biden and Democrats’ budget proposal, Herra said he would be able to fulfill his ambitions of gaining a bachelor’s degree. Nate Coine, an 18-year-old senior at Options Secondary Program, said
COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1
Since becoming state law, 1041 Regulations have been implemented by 32 Colorado counties and 67 municipalities. Under 1041 Regulations, counties and towns can function under a required permitting process, allowing local governments to have more say in projects proposed outside a town or county’s jurisdiction. The regulations are set up under the state law to give municipalities more say over large developments. The regulations are not applied to smaller, less impactful projects. During the Sept. 21 meeting, where council unanimously approved the first reading of the resolution to implement 1041 Regulations, Councilmember Laura Cavey

free community college could mean the difference between how much he is burdened by student loan debt. “I want to have an education, have a career and not be tied down monetarily by debt,” said Coine, who is also planning to transfer after two years at ACC to attain a bachelor’s. “If (free community college) is a possibility, that would be phenom-
enal,” he said. Still, despite wide public support for the proposal, free community college for the coming years is far from a done deal. Acknowledging that they will receive no support from Republican lawmakers, Senate and House Democrats are rallying their own members to vote in favor of the Build Back Better Act. But
more conservative Democrats in both chambers have said they will not support it unless the bill’s price tag is heavily reduced, meaning certain provisions, like free community college, could be cut. Herra, the Littleton High School senior, said if that happens, it would dim students’ educational futures. “The fact that they gave them hope and now they’re taking the hope away from them is just kind of sad,” he said. Smith, the ACC student, is hopeful the legislation will pass and that it will support more students like him to pursue degrees, regardless of their situation. “Everybody should have the same access to education,” he said.
asked for clarification. Looking for a specific example, Cavey asked if such a law could impact developments such as the Macanta Housing development on Crowfoot Valley Road, northeast of Castle Rock. City Attorney Mike Hyman explained that while the Macanta project is already under construction, it is a good example of how the town will have more say in how the development would proceed under the 1041 Regulations. Hyman also stressed the town does not necessarily have a problem with how Macanta has been developed. Hyman said the importance of moving forward with the new regulation is due to developers and residents building near city limits but not following Castle Rock infrastructure standards. Hyman said the housing projects draw more people, which directly impacts the town’s streets, water and wastewater services.
Hyman said looking at a map of town boundaries versus unincorporated areas is like looking at a “slice of Swiss cheese,” with pockets throughout the area. Hyman said Castle Rock streets are already congested and urban development will only continue to impact traffic levels. Wells serving area developments may also impair the town’s existing wells and the town’s ability to utilize aquifer storage and recovery, he said. If approved in the final reading, Castle Rock would require permit applicants to demonstrate appropriate and reasonable mitigation efforts to protect the town’s infrastructure and assets. With wastewater, Hyman said the potential discharge into the town’s watershed could threaten the safety of the town’s drinking water supply. Once the council approves the final reading of the proposed resolutions, the town will be able to require prospective developments in Douglas County’s jurisdiction to obtain a 1041 permit, which would require the developer to help in providing funding to streets, water and wastewater. Permits could also require underlying water rights be turned over to the town to serve
future residents. Under 1041 Regulations, prospective developers neighboring Castle Rock will be required to meet with the town manager prior to applying. During the meeting, the developer will be required to discuss the location, nature of the proposed project and what they propose to offset impact to the town’s infrastructure. Once the application is submitted and fees are paid, the town will then send referrals to the appropriate county, state or federal agency. All applications will either be approved or denied by the sitting town council. If approved, the council can either accept outright, or approve with conditions. Under the proposed resolution, Hyman recommended the council place restrictions on all arterial highways, interchanges and collector highways located wholly or partially in Castle Rock boundaries. He also recommended the council approve including site selection and construction of major new domestic water and sewage treatment systems and major extensions of existing domestic water and sewage systems located wholly or partially within the town’s Watershed Protection District.

Girls field hockey seeing more strong teams Longtime powerhouses face competition from area schools BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There are changes taking place this season in Colorado girls field hockey. This has very little to do with the COVID pandemic that curtailed activities last year. The perennial powers like Regis Jesuit in Aurora, Colorado Academy in Lakewood and Cherry Creek in Greenwood Village are still good but other teams are improving, and the balance in the Colorado Field Hockey League is starting to grow. Teams like Palmer Ridge in Monument, Kent Denver in Cherry Hills Village, Arapahoe in Centennial and Mountain Vista in Highlands Ranch are improving and showing a competitive edge. “There are other programs starting to step up and it’s just good to see,” said Arapahoe coach Paul Lewis. “We’ve grown leaps and bounds this year. We’ve come up from last year. It’s the coaching level starting to step up and it’s good to see with good competition.” Arapahoe, the No. 5 ranked team in the CHSAANow.com poll, downed No. 7 co-op Mountain Vista 3-0 in a Sept. 27 game at Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch. “A lot of things have gotten a whole lot better during the season,” said Mountain Vista coach Cindy Staab, including “really feeding

our attackers, feeding the ball and pushing up. We’ve really struggled defensively to get marked up man on man. “I believe now you see eight solid teams. We’re all getting there. Colorado Academy and Regis are a lot younger with their programs. They have field hockey in their younger grades. I mean I have 20 new freshmen this year and none of them have played the sport before. We pull from all over with girls learning to work with each other. It’s just not as good in the middle school programs in Douglas County.” Arapahoe notched its fifth straight series win for over Mountain Vista and the Warriors have not allowed a goal to the Golden Eagles in five games.

Flyn Brown is a senior boys soccer player at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch with quickness and speed. He used his natural abilities to score both goals and helped the Jaguars defeat Highlands Ranch, 2-0, in a Continental League match on Sept. 28 at Shea Stadium. “I’m pretty quick and active and that’s an advantage, and speed is a very crucial thing to have in soccer,” said Brown. Brown’s first goal came 28 minutes into the first half and then he scored again at the 57th-minute mark to seal the win. “It was a beautiful goal, a nice cross and a bang bang bang,” added Jaguars’ coach Aaron Carpenter when asked about the game’s first
goal. “He’s (Brown) got speed and he came come out with a volley and just buried it.” Brown picked up his seventh and eighth goals on the season and now has 17 points. “Our goal is to get a least two goals in the first half,” said Brown. “We got one and that was a very important goal to kind of show we had control of the game. The second goal cut them off. That second goal is always critical.” Sophomore Aiden Bowman and junior Tatsuya Peralta were each credited with assists on Brown’s goals. Senior goalie Jorge Baca only faced two shots on goal but saved them both to notch the shutout. “The guys are working hard and we got the 10th win and we’re the first team in the state to get 10 wins,” said Carpenter. “We know there are things we can do better and we are going to continue to work in our development and get better.” Rock Canyon, the fifth-ranked team in the CHSAANow.com poll SEE SOCCER, P27

The Falcons have not had a record above .500 since the 2013-14 season when the team went 10-5-1, but coach Steven Carels is optimistic. “Rock Canyon is a very good team and we’re young,” said Carels. “We only have four seniors.

Trial begins for Texas trucker charged in fiery I-70 crash Prosecutors say bad decisions to blame for deadly pile-up
Wyoming to Texas when the crash occurred. In opening arguments, prosecutors laid the blame for the April 25, 2019, accident on bad decisions made by Aguilera-Maderos. Both sides agree that brake failure caused the accident, but prosecutors pointed to video footage captured by other drivers of Aguilera-Maderos’ driving before the accident happened, as evidence that the deadly crash could have been averted. Describing the video, Prosecutor Kayla Wildeman said it shows the driver weaving through traffic at a high rate of speed, driving right by a runaway truck ramp. “Four lives in our community were lost because of what this case boils down to — bad decisions,”
BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Opening statements in the trial for Rogel Aguilera-Maderos, the truck driver charged in a deadly crash that killed four people on eastbound I-70 in 2019, got underway Sept. 28. Aguilera-Maderos, facing a total of 41 counts, including vehicular homicide, had previously plead not-guilty to all charges. He was hauling a load of lumber from
Wildeman said. Wildeman said Aguilera-Maderos had been driving recklessly hours before the crash and knew his brakes weren’t functioning properly. She said aside from the emergency ramp he passed, AguileraMaderos could have driven into a field beside the freeway or tried other ways of slowing the runaway semi down, but chose not to. Defense attorney James Colgan argued that his client tried to apply his brakes, but when they failed to work, Aguilera-Maderos found himself in a fast-moving vehicle that was out of control. “He could not control this vehicle. He wasn’t driving it. No one was capable of driving it at this point,” Colgan said.
As the speeding truck careened eastbound on I-70 it ran into rushhour traffic backed-up to a standstill near Colorado Mills Mall. The impact of the crash caused an explosion turning the scene into a fiery inferno, engulfing cars in flames and killing Miguel Angel Lamas Arellano, 24, William Bailey, 67, Doyle Harrison, 61, and Stanley Politano, 69. Six others were injured and a total of 28 vehicles were destroyed in the crash. Prosecutors say after the crash, Aguilera-Maderos ran from the scene instead of trying to help those caught in the blaze. The trial is expected to last until mid-October. The newspaper will continue to follow the case through its conclusion.
