Castle Pines North Metro District “false and irresponsible” for claiming that city officials were in talks with Douglas County to turn Monarch Boulevard into a fourlane frontage road, which the city manager denies.

Tri-County Health Department is no longer providing COVID-19 services in Douglas County as of Nov. 1, county leaders said. That announcement, along with news that the state public-health department will be taking over those duties, were made during a Nov. 1 Douglas County commissioner work session. “I’m disappointed but not surprised that Tri-County is reneging on another deal that they have made with us, that we made in good faith,” said county Commissioner Lora Thomas in the meeting. At press time, neither Tri-County nor the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment had responded to requests for comment. It’s the latest chapter in the divorce of Douglas County from Tri-County, the agency that has provided its public health services for more than half a century, largely over disagreements about

Commissioners give State of County address Updates focus on big issues; event was canceled in 2020 BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Douglas County commissioners gave their updates on the county’s economic recovery, major road projects and more during their annual State of the County Event on Oct. 27. The event, located at the Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree, included breakfast for nearly 200 attendees and was livestreamed to the community. A recording of the talk is posted on the county’s YouTube page. During their presentation, commissioners provided updates on current projects, gave data on employment in the community and spoke briefly about their newly-formed public health department. The three commissioners took turns speaking about various topics. Ten videos produced by the county were played throughout the presentation, ranging from subjects like the county’s Winter Shelter Network and the East/West Regional Trail to the Mental Health Initiative and the Youth Crisis Response Team. This was a return for the event, which was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Board of Douglas County commissioners speak about the State of the County Oct. 27.
The economy Commissioners shared information about the county’s economic recovery following the pandemic shutdowns. Some quick facts given include:
Keeping you and your loved ones COmfortable since 1938. Thanks for being a CORE member.
• Existing home sales in Douglas County increased by 4.7% between the first quarter of 2020 and the same period in 2021. • In that same period, residential building permits increased by 173%. • Also during that time, 740 new businesses came to the county. • About 3,700 housing units were added to the county in 2020. • In April 2020, county unemployment was 10% but decreased to 4.2% as of August this year. During the pandemic, the county was also able to distribute more than $20 million in federal CARES Act money to restaurants, small businesses and nonprofits, according to the presentation. Commissioners are also in discussions about how to spend $68 million in American Recovery Plan Act funds and are considering supporting work in mental health, water and wastewater, broadband, the workforce and other economic recovery projects, Commissioner Lora Thomas said. The county plans to give a “temporary property tax credit” for the 2021 taxable year, which will be collected next year, Commissioner Abe Laydon said. In 2022, the county is set to pay off its final debt payment on open space bonds, making the county debt-free, Commissioner George Teal said. New health department During the pandemic, the commissioners had a series of heated disagreements with Tri-County Health Department, their public health agency for the past 55 years. On Sept. 1 the commissioners voted to form their own health department following a required mask mandate approved by Tri-County. The day before the State of the County speech, that new health board’s first-ever public health order was temporarily halted by a federal judge. The health order, which al-

lowed anyone to opt out of any mask mandate in the county, was put on pause for at least 14 days after the school district filed the legal action against the county’s health department. Thomas and Teal are both on the new health board. Commissioners didn’t speak about the judge’s decision and only briefly mentioned the new health department. “Our goal is that Douglas County will have an effective and efficient public health department, delivering public health services that represent the true public health needs of Douglas County,” Laydon said. A community health assessment, which was set to be completed in October, will be used to create a public health improvement plan and will inform the budgeting process in 2023, Teal said. The county had previously decided to continue receiving all public health services from Tri-County until the end of 2022. Tri-County has since ceased providing COVID-19 services to Douglas County, according to a Nov. 1 announcement from the county. SEE COUNTY, P22

Colo. school board election spending skyrockets Douglas, Jeffco, Denver, Cherry Creek among top districts for donations BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN
These flyers for Cherry Creek School District board candidates in the 2021 election were mailed to a Centennial home. PHOTO BY MARK HARDEN
More cash flowed into Colorado school board contests this year than in previous election cycles as teacher unions, charter school advocates and wealthy individual donors opened their purse strings to influence closely contested races across the state. The spending is part of a national trend of contentious school board elections, supercharged by COVID19, the social justice movement and other hot-button concerns. The Colorado Sun analyzed candidate and committee campaign finance filings through Oct. 13. The review showed that candidates in 20 school district contests in the election that ended Nov. 2 had raised more than $1.9 million, about $672,000 more than candidates in
the same districts raised in all of 2017. In five districts — Cherry Creek, Windsor, Summit, Falcon and Eagle — candidates are raising tens of thousands of dollars in races that didn’t record a single political contribution four years ago. School board candidates in Colorado aren’t subject to fundraising limits like candidates for state legislature, governor and Congress. “It’s just a continuing escalation of out-of-control money in these local races,” said state Rep. Emily Sirota, a Denver Democrat who lost a 2011 Denver school board race and last year tried in the state Legislature to limit contributions in school board contests. “It’s pretty staggering.” The increase in spending is most dramatic in the Douglas County School District, where four of the seven seats on the board were up for election. (Visit ColoradoCommunityMedia.com for election results.) Eight Douglas County candidates, four of whom were endorsed by the Colorado GOP, raised more than $444,000 through mid-October,
nearly double the $231,000 raised by the eight candidates who ran in the district four years ago. The four GOP-endorsed candidates this year raised 71% of the total. Although school board contests are nonpartisan, both Democrats and Republicans endorsed candidates this year. In the Cherry Creek School District, six candidates who were vying for two seats had raised nearly $156,000 through the middle of the month. Four years ago, the election was canceled because the two seats drew only one candidate each. But it isn’t just suburban Front Range districts seeing more money pour into school board contests this year. Through Oct. 13, candidates in Mesa County raised four times the total raised in 2017. And candidates for the Montrose County School District board raised more than three times the amount candidates raised in all other previous Montrose County school board elections combined, according to The Montrose Press.

districts. That group is funded by teacher unions. Parents for Great Schools, another committee that spent large sums this year, was focused on the Denver races. It’s funded by Denver Parents for Public Schools, a new nonprofit group that doesn’t have to report its donors. And Colorado League of Charter Schools Action, funded by a nonprofit of the same name, spent in Denver, Aurora and Douglas County. The Colorado League of Charter Schools Action nonprofit also doesn’t have to disclose its donors.

Big money from teachers unions, individuals Teachers unions have been the biggest spenders in school board contests. Their candidate contributions focused mostly on districts in Denver, Jefferson, Adams and Larimer counties. But individual donors also spent big this year. Lone Tree real estate developer Eric Garrett donated $30,000 each to four Douglas County school board candidates — Mike Peterson, Christy Williams, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar, running as the “Kids First” slate — who were also being supported by the Republican Party. Mike Slattery, who co-owns The Emporium in Castle Rock with his wife, Andrea, gave $20,000 each to the same candidates, while Andrea Slattery gave $10,000 each. And R. Stanton Dodge, who lives in Castle Pines and is the chief legal counsel for DraftKings, gave $12,500 to each of those four Douglas County “Kids First” candidates. Stephen Keen, a Fort Collins lawyer, donated $40,000 to Jefferson County school board candidate Paula Reed and $10,000 each to Mary Parker and Danielle Varda in the same district. All three candidates were supported by the Democratic Party. This year’s large individual contributions stand out compared to prior contests.
CHART BY THE COLORADO SUN
The Colorado Sun looked at contributions of $10,000 and more in school board contests statewide in 2017 and 2019. There were five individual contributions of $10,000 to school board candidates in 2017 and 21 in 2019. That compares with 26 such donations by individuals this year through mid-October, a statistic that doesn’t include donors who gave multiple times that added up to $10,000 or more. Teachers unions’ small-donor committees made seven donations of $10,000 or more to school board candidates in 2017 and 14 in 2019. That compares with 14 such donations so far this year.
Outside cash focused on Denver, Aurora contests Independent expenditure committees — similar to federal super PACs — also spent heavily this year. Ten such groups spent nearly $1.5 million on mailers, digital ads and other campaign efforts in 13 districts around the state, including Denver, Aurora, Jefferson and Douglas counties. Most of the independent spending — nearly $818,000 — was in the four Denver Public Schools contests. The top spender among the committees was Students Deserve Better, which spent in Denver, Jefferson County, Aurora, Cherry Creek, Brighton and two Larimer County
Last year of limitless fundraising? Sirota, the Democratic state representative from Denver, said her 2020 bill to limit individual contributions to school board candidates at $2,500 “failed because of COVID.” Lawmakers took a more than two-month break in mid-session and severely altered the agenda upon returning in late May. Sirota’s bill died in a Senate committee. She said she is considering bringing the legislation back in 2022, but hasn’t made a decision yet. “It’s probably a better bill to run during an even year,” she said. “It’s less likely to disrupt the middle of a campaign cycle in an even year.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

2008, Shul said advocates thought it was only fitting that she become the city’s first mayor. Shul said politics and the path she was following all changed when her brother and mother died of pancreatic cancer in the same year. Shul said when her brother was diagnosed, she had never even heard of that form of cancer. Pancreatic cancer begins in the pancreas, an organ in the upper part of the abdomen, behind the stomach and in front of the spine. The pancreas is shaped like a fish with a wide head, a tapering body, and a narrow, pointed tail. The pancreas is part of the digestive system. Dr. Richard Schulick, director of the University of Colorado Cancer Center, said it is because of where the pancreas is located that catching cancer at an early stage without proper screening is next to impossible. “Pancreatic cancer is just a bad and tough cancer compared to other cancers we deal with,” he said. “With breast cancer you can feel a mass. With colon cancer, you have bleeding. This cancer is deep in the middle of the body, and you can’t see it or feel it.” Besides the inability to see or feel pancreatic cancer, Shul said neither her mother nor brother had symptoms. Symptoms for the disease can be minor and can often be overlooked

home without further testing. Schulick said other symptoms besides stomach pain may be unexplained weight loss, or a sudden case of jaundice. Because it is usually diagnosed at later stages, Schulick said, pancreatic cancer is the third deadliest of all cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, there will be 60,430 people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021. Of those, 48,220 will die. Shul said her brother died after a four-year battle. Not long after her brother died, Shul said, her mother was diagnosed with the disease in October. By January, her mother died. At that point, Shul said, politics were no longer important and doing something that made both the lives of her brother and mother matter became a priority. After years of work, Shul started the Wings of Hope Foundation. After doing more research, Shul
said, she quickly found that unlike the situation with other cancers, the system is way behind in creating regular screening protocols and finding successful treatment options for pancreatic cancer because by the time a diagnosis is made, the disease has progressed too much. “There really are not all these survivor marches for pancreatic cancer because there are not a lot of survivors,” Shul said. “It is left to family and friends to carry on the fight. It was a no-brainer to start a foundation where everything we raise goes directly to research where answers can be found.” Since starting Wings of Hope, Shul has raised more than $1.5 million that goes directly to research. The foundation carries no overhead, she said. There is no expensive CEO salary, as the organization is run with volunteers, she said. “Where we are now with pancreatic cancer is where breast cancer research was 40 years ago,” Shul said. “Research and results have to move forward.” Schulick, who is also a professor and chair of the University of Colorado Department of Surgery, said the work Shul does through Wings of Hope is invaluable. “What she ultimately does is create pots of money to set aside for cutting-edge research,” he said. “Many of the projects getting funded may not work, but the ones that do have high rewards. She provides a steppingstone, a mechanism, to do this research and make progress.” The only way to screen for pancreatic cancer is an MRI or CT scan. Shul said because of her family connection, she gets tested every six months. While the cause of pancreatic cancer is mostly unknown, Schulick said family ties are not something to ignore. Anyone with a direct family member who has had pancreatic cancer should go to regular screenings. Schulick said progress is being made through research to identify the cancer through blood tests. To continue raising funds through Wings of Hope, Shul said she hosts one major fundraiser a year and several small events like golf tournaments. Shul said losing her brother and mother made her take a hard look at what matters in life, and making a difference so other families do not go through what she did is the ultimate goal.

Fraught school board meeting follows lawsuit ruling People support, oppose the district’s COVID masking rules BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
They’re sociopaths. They should resign. Nothing but dictators. They don’t care about kids, they just use them as political pawns. That’s a few of the comments slung at Douglas County School Board members and the superintendent during an emotional, hours-long board meeting on Oct. 26. “They are possessed with the spirit of tyranny,” a man said about the board. But to other speakers, the board is a desperately needed sign of hope in a county where other elected officials have walked back COVID-19 safety measures. Those speakers supported masking mandates, for their vulnerable loved ones, and their children with disabilities. Several lamented COVID-19 misinformation shared at meetings. “I appreciate you fighting for the mask mandate,” said a mother to children with disabilities. Like numerous others during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oct. 26 school board meeting stretched late into the night after dozens of people gave public comment. The agenda included talks about

compensation, a capital master plan and staff recognition, but most people had come to talk about masking policies and COVID-19. A few broached equity in education, too.

disease policy. American Academy and Leman also requested waivers from the equity policy. “We only want the autonomy that we had last year where we had the ability to determine our own COVID protocols and practice,” said Erin Kane, executive director of American Academy. Multiple times, board President David Ray asked the audience to refrain from outbursts after they heckled people who supported masking or shouted their support to people who opposed mandates. Ray said it created an unsafe environment for people who might have a different opinion, although that argument did little to pacify people, who frequently laughed when he said that. Emotions in the community ran high earlier in the day on Oct. 26, coming just a week before the final day of a contentious school board election. That afternoon, a federal judge had granted a temporary restraining order requested by the district’s civil lawsuit against the new Douglas County Health Department. That halted enforcement of a public health order that let people opt out
of masking mandates in the county. For at least two weeks from the date of that order, the district will be able to resume its policy requiring masks unless someone has a medical exemption. The Oct. 26 meeting capped with a tense moment between two attendees. After the last speaker, Ray announced a meeting break. A man stood up and urged the room not to mask their children. The district could not force students to cover their faces, he said, citing the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. As he spoke, Sarah Wu, the campaign manager for Juli Watkins, a candidate for Douglas County School Board, appeared to lose patience. She sat through much of the meeting knitting, but now yelled at the man, “Just shut up.” She told him to get out, then began briskly walking toward him from across the room. People including school board member Kevin Leung rushed to stop her, calming her down and leading her away. A woman in crowd told her not to do something she might regret. Another shouted, “Arrest her.” A woman shouted that people who wore masks were cowards. Wu left the room minutes later. Board President David Ray asked security to clear people from the area. It’s not the first exchange between public speakers that raised eyebrows. At a meeting in September, Douglas County GOP officer and vocal supporter of the Kids First slate Steve Collier was leaving the lectern after his public comment. He looked at a man seated in the audience who spoke earlier in support of issues like the district’s equity policy. As he passed by, Collier leaned in and rapidly jabbed his finger toward the man, yelling, “Hi, buddy.” The man had little reaction beyond shaking his head. A district spokeswoman was not immediately able to confirm if the district received complaints about either incident or if the district would take action. On Oct. 26, the meeting resumed and finished its regular agenda, concluding with an executive session about the lawsuit.

Water director receives 24-Karat Gold Award Castle Rock Water reuse program continues to gain recognition BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Castle Rock Water Director Mark Marlowe received the prestigious 2021 24-Karat Gold Award from the Colorado Environmental Leadership Program. Marlowe and the Castle Rock Water Department continue to receive state and national recognition for the focus on protecting the town’s present and future water supplies. According to the announcement, the Colorado Environmental Leadership Program honored Marlowe for going above and beyond required job duties to create and implement a sustainable initiative to impact the environment, the economy and the community. “It’s really humbling to receive this award from Colorado’s Environmental Leadership Program,” said Marlowe. “Reuse water was truly a team effort. Our water resource analysts, treatment engineers, water quality consultants, financial analysts and outreach specialists all worked together to make reuse water a viable option for long-term water in the Castle Rock community.” The Environmental Leadership
Program is a statewide program that recognizes and awards organizations that go beyond compliance with environmental regulations by advancing sustainability in Colorado. Castle Rock Water was specifically recognized for its reuse water project. The investment to develop a reuse water program in Castle Rock started in 2006 when the town invested $208 million in the LongTerm Water Resources Project. By the year 2055, a total of $315 million is budgeted. Purified reuse water involves producing safe, high-quality drinking water from the water that has been used in sinks, showers and toilets. Ultimately, according to data provided by the town, reuse water will constitute onethird of the community’s water supply and will be a big step in providing a sustainable water supply as the town grows and drought conditions continue. Castle Rock started implementing the reuse water program this summer, celebrating the completion of the $60 million Plum Creek Purification Facility. Marlowe has said Castle Rock will pump an average of five million gallons of reuse water per day in the winter and spring months. In the summer, he estimated about 18 million gallons of the purified water will be mixed into the community water system.

Barbara Kientz, administrative assistant for the Highlands Ranch school, said it is not just any ordinary sign. The Don Matte Loop sign was created in honor of a school custodian who died in 2015. Kientz said she noticed the sign missing on Oct. 5. While the school did not file a report with the local authorities, administrators have sent emails to parents asking for help in locating the sign. Kientz said Matte started working as a custodian for Arrowwood at the time of the school’s opening in 2000. “He was instrumental in the daily running of this building,
and he took great pride in keeping our building very clean,” Kientz said. “Visitors frequently commented on how this place sparkled — especially the windows.” Kientz said Matte also had two children attending Arrowwood. In 2014, Matte was diagnosed with cancer. Kientz said while going through treatment, Matte never missed a day of work. In 2015, Matte died due to complications of surgery. Kientz said following his death, the school wanted to honor Matte’s memory. Administrators decided it was fitting to name the pickup/dropoff lane in Matte’s honor in 2015. Kientz said over five years there has never been a problem with the signs until now. After attempting to get the signs returned through emails to school parents, Kientz said now they are hoping to find results by reaching out the community. Anyone with information about the signs can contact Kientz by email at Barbara.Kientz@dcsdk12. org

Support program for moms looks to expand Strong Mama Gala set for Dec. 3 in Centennial BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A local program aimed at helping moms who are struggling with mental health is raising funds to expand services through partnerships with local hospitals. In 2016, Nikki Brooker was working as a substitute teacher at Bear Canyon Elementary Schoo in Highlands Ranch. When a mother from the school shot herself and her two children, it rocked the community and Brooker, being a Type A personality, could not stand by and do nothing. Brooker founded the nonprofit You Are Not Alone Mom 2 Mom (YANAM2M) and never looked back, developing a community service where mothers can get help before they do something that cannot be reversed. Brooker, of Highlands Ranch, started hosting weekly meetings and assigning sponsor moms to anyone asking for help. Joan Mahoney, currently of Elizabeth, said YANAM2M helped save her from what she described as a “very dark time in my life.” Mahoney explained that she and her family had been living in Littleton when her husband lost his
COURTESY LOGO
job, forcing them to move in with her in-laws. Add in an unexpected
third pregnancy, and Mahoney said life got overwhelming. “I started having suicidal thoughts,” Mahoney said. “I was convinced my family would be better off without me. I was evening starting to plan it. I started reaching out and reaching out. YANA was the one that reached back.” Brooker assigned Mahoney to a sponsor mom, Carol, who came from a similar situation. Mahoney said before long she learned she had that group of supportive moms, was not alone and what she was feeling is relatable. Mahoney said while she was meeting with Carol, Brooker would personally watch her children. “I didn’t have to worry and look over my shoulder to make sure they were OK,” Mahoney said. “(Brooker) orchestrated all of it just to get me out. Carol would call and check on me knowing I was not going to call them.” YANAM2M started small and has continued to grow steadily over the last five years. Now, Brooker said it is time for the program to take a step into anothefr level. Aiming to mimic the La Leche organization’s model, Brooker said she is working with local hospitals to reach moms while they are still in the hospital after delivering a baby. La Leche works with mothers to breastfeed their infants. Consultants for the program go into hospital rooms to provide support and coaching to help interested moms start the breastfeeding process as smoothly as possible. Not only has the La Leche program made a difference in the lives of many mothers, Brooker
said they are her model because it all started in a basement in 1956 with two mothers. Brooker said mental health is just as important to new moms as breastfeeding, and she would like to make connections with them as soon as possible. According to the American Psychology Association, in the U.S. one in seven women suffer from postpartum depression, meaning 800,000 new mothers are impacted each year. While a mother who just delivered a baby may not know if they need mental health guidance, Brooker said making the connection early to let them know YANAM2M is always there is important for future reference. Brooker said moms will continue to get follow-up calls after three months, six months, nine months and at the 12-month mark. Moms who want continued assistance will get it. Those who don’t will have their wishes respected, Brooker said. Postpartum depression does not have a timer, Brooker said. It may not start as soon as the baby is born, she said. It does not just go away at the one-month or one-year mark, she said. Women can be impacted by postpartum depression for years, she continued. Mahoney said postpartum and prepartum depression is real, and if a mom is dealing with financial and family stress, things can only get worse. Programs like YANAM2M are a valuable resource, she said. For the new program to see success, Brooker said up-front costs have to be met. Brooker said the organization relies on grant funds, but a lot of programs only want to provide financial support to organizations helping low-income families. YANAM2M is for all mothers, Brooker said, no matter which income class they may fall. Brooker said in the metro area, several of the mothers who have committed suicide are considered middle-class. “Depression does not know income or standing in the community,” Brooker said. “Depression can impact any mother at any time. They all need our help. Programs like this are tough to explain and understand. Mental health is not always explained through simple scientific reasoning.” To raise the funds to get the new program operating in Highlands Ranch and, eventually, at other hospitals along the Front Range, Brooker will be hosting the Strong Mama Gala fundraiser on Dec. 3. With a goal to raise $100,000, Brooker said the special event will be held at the Village Workspace, 7173 S. Havana St. #600, Centennial, with free food and drinks. With a hefty goal, Brooker said she estimates it will cost $70,000 in the first year to get the new program going. The Strong Mama Gala will begin at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit the website at yanam2m.org.

Aiming to please with mac and cheese Marine Corps vet opens Highlands Ranch eatery BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In opening a new Highlands Ranch restaurant, Vu Tran said he will focus on mentoring young staff members, improving the community and, most importantly, providing a menu full of mac and cheese. On Oct. 13, Tran officially opened I (heart) Mac & Cheese, a franchise that was originally started in Florida. After opening franchise options nationwide in 2017, I (heart) Mac & Cheese has opened restaurants in 10 states, including Colorado. In Colorado, there are currently two locations, in Highlands Ranch and Denver. Another restaurant is expected to open in Denver later this year. Vu, a native of Boulder County, said he chose to open his first major business in Highlands Ranch because of the strong community feel that the unincorporated area brings. “Highlands Ranch is a very tightknit community,” he said. “I did my research on the community and on the franchise.” Tran said I (heart) Mac & Cheese has a strong foundation and besides good food, the franchise founders have the same values he wants to bring into Douglas County.
General manager Pino Chinnel and owner Vu Tran celebrate the opening of I (heart) PHOTO BY THELMA GRIMES Mac & Cheese in Highlands Ranch.
Tran, a Marine Corps veteran, said the new restaurant is not just about serving food and making money. The 34-year-old said he wants to provide a business where young people can work and learn the importance of hard work in America. With 40 employees on staff, Tran said he will work to teach about the importance of personal, professional and financial growth. Employees of the new restaurant will learn the
core principles of values, courage, commitment, and integrity, he said. Besides setting high standards to develop the young, local workforce, Tran said he has set major goals for himself as well. Tran said he hopes to open more restaurants over the next five years. Helping to reach his goals is I (heart) Mac & Cheese general manager Pino Chinnel. Chinnel, a Brighton resident, said she has worked with Tran before and respects his
goals and guidance. Tran said bringing Chinnel to help with the new venture is important to his continued success. Chinnel said the grand opening of I (heart) Mac & Cheese was a success, with lines forming out the door throughout the day. Chinnel said the new location’s first 25 customers received vouchers for one year of free mac and cheese. Those lucky winners may not get tired of mac and cheese, given the extensive menu the franchise restaurant provides. Chinnel explained that the menu provides 15 different signature items, including a variety of bowls and sandwich options. An instant customer favorite became the Best of Both Worlds sandwich. The menu item consists of mac and cheese, short ribs, BBQ sauce along with white and sharp cheddar sandwiched between two slices of sourdough toast. Chinnel said the great thing about the expansive menu is that there is something for everyone, from vegan and keto options to gluten free dishes. Through the “create your own” menu options, Chinnel said customers will be able to get creative in developing various bowls and sandwiches. I (heart) Mac & Cheese is located at 1100 Sergeant Jon Stiles Drive, Unit 108 in Highlands Ranch. For more information, visit the website at iheartmacandcheese.com.

Kevin Leung, a Douglas County School Board member who was running for re-election, filed a report with the county sheriff’s office after a heated confrontation with an audience member at a candidate forum. The development came as the closely watched school board election was nearing its Nov. 2 conclusion, with tensions among community members splashed across social media. (For election results, go online to ColoradoCommunityMedia.com.) Leung, who was elected to the board in 2017, told Colorado Community Media that he was leaving a private forum held at Wind Crest Senior Living in Highlands Ranch on Oct. 20 when a man who appeared to be upset approached him. Leung said the man appeared to be dissatisfied with answers to questions he had asked during the forum about teacher turnover and a former district superintendent. After the event concluded, the man continued asking Leung about the topics and told the school board member he was not adequately responding, Leung said. “He finally said this to me, ‘You are not qualified at all. You don’t speak English,’” Leung said. Leung said at that point, he took out his phone and attempted to record the conversation. He alleged the man grabbed the phone from him and then “shoved it back to me” when Leung asked him to return it. Leung’s fellow candidate and slate member Juli Watkins told Colorado Community Media that she witnessed a portion of the conversation and observed Leung mostly listening to the man. “The man was yelling at him that he couldn’t even speak English and it was clearly aggressive,” Watkins said. Leung said he filed the sheriff’s office report because the man took his property. A spokeswoman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said on Oct. 26 that detectives were investigating the incident. Another spokesman said on Oct. 28 that possible charges were pending in the case but said he could not disclose additional details while the case remained open. The person involved could not be reached by Colorado Community Media for comment. A spokeswoman for Wind Crest said the man is not affiliated with the center and was escorted off campus after the incident. “While the incident occurred at Wind Crest, it did not directly involve or impact any of the community’s residents or employees. As always, the safety and well-being of all who live and work at Wind Crest remains our top priority,” the statement said. Holly Osborne Horn was the cam-
Kevin Leung
paign manager for the Kids First slate of school board candidates, which included Leung’s opponent in the election, Christy Williams. Horn also attended the Oct. 20 forum and said both men acted inappropriately. The man had asked “a strange question” during the forum about teacher turnover, calling a former superintendent a “racist, hell-on-wheels superintendent,” she told Colorado Community Media. Horn said the man and several other audience members grew frustrated with what they felt were indirect answers to that and other questions. She was sitting a few seats away when the confrontation with Leung began, she said, although she did not hear exactly how the conversation started. As they spoke, she said each man seemed angry and the man asked Leung to speak slower. Horn said she did not hear the man make a comment about Leung being unqualified because of his accent. “I heard him say, ‘Slow down, I can’t understand your English,’ or ‘You don’t speak English well,’” she said. Horn said she observed Leung take out his phone and hold it close to the man’s face while the man asked him more than once to remove it. Eventually, “he either swats at the phone or he grabbed the phone,” she said. As the man was escorted out, Horn said she heard him say he should not have touched Leung’s phone and that he was wrong. Horn said Leung had an opportunity to de-escalate the situation or prevent it by avoiding the man but had not. “Neither party was solely guilty. I don’t think anyone was innocent here. It was like both of them played a part,” she said. Leung immigrated to the United States from Hong Kong. His first language is Cantonese, and he began learning English at a young age,
COURTESY PHOTO
with a focus on learning to write in English. Leung called the comment at the Oct. 20 forum regarding his speech hurtful. It’s important to address instances of bullying and discrimination, he said, so young people and other immigrants feel encouraged to speak up. The past 18 months “have not been easy for the Asian American people, because of COVID-19,” he said. “I’ve lived in this country for 33 years. I know I have (an) accent,” he said. Leung attended another candidate forum at Legend High School on Oct. 25. Candidates on both slates urged civility among attendees and respect for forum rules in their opening remarks. Leung began his comments by discussing his upbringing in Hong Kong, living with illiterate parents in extreme poverty, who he has said escaped from communist China. Leung attended college in the United States. At the Oct. 25 forum, he said he worked hard to obtain two master’s degrees and open his own businesses, and considers his life now as living the American dream. He wants to make his children proud and be a productive member of society through his service on the school board, he told Colorado Community Media. “Instead, I hear a comment like this, implying that I don’t belong, and I have no busines even coming trying to serve,” he said, referring to the confrontation at the earier forum. The incident came amid a hotly contested race for four seats on the school board. Fierce debates played out among members of the public in recent weeks as COVID-19 policy galvanized voters, with supporters of each slate trading online barbs.

Program connects Colorado to the world WorldDenver brings youths together through virtual exchange BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In the past decade or so, Cheesman Park resident Laurie Hirschfeld Zeller has hosted members of Parliament from the United Kingdom, university presidents from Yemen, journalists from various African countries and women leaders from all over the world. “These are the most interesting and rewarding interactions you can imagine,” Zeller said. Sometimes these international guests stay in Zeller’s home for about a week and sometimes they come just for dinner. “Breaking bread in one’s home is universally meaningful to all cultures,” Zeller said. “These opportunities have allowed me to show a personal side to the good experience these visitors have in Colorado, and helps them feel the goodwill that they take back to their home countries.” Zeller is a founding member of WorldDenver and an emeritus board member. The international visitors she has hosted are people chosen to participate in the International Visitors’ Leadership Program, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. “Denver has so much to share with the world,” said John Krieger, executive director of WorldDenver, “and we make those connections.” WorldDenver is a membershipbased nonprofit organization that connects Colorado to the world through international exchange, education, and personal interaction with international leaders, professionals and students, states its website. “It matters that we feel connected to the greater world, here in landlocked Denver,” Zeller said. “WorldDenver is a community of members that supports the great programs and visiting delegations that help us understand the perspectives of our fellow humans — and helps those other humans understand us.” WorldDenver is perhaps most known for facilitating the International Visitors’ Leadership Program, and for being Denver’s World Affairs Counsel. But, WorldDenver also has a Young Professional membership, and puts on a variety

of other programming, such as an annual International Women’s Day event. “The biggest issues we face are borderless. They’ve got to be solved with global cooperation,” Krieger said. “Members come to WorldDenver to get that global connection.” WorldDenver put on some virtual programming during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, but also turned attention to incorporating more educational programs for youth — something that had been on a priority list for quite some time, Krieger said. The organization started to put together a plan to connect U.S. students ages 14-17 with students of the same age in the Middle East and North Africa — Iraq and Morocco, specifically. Called the World Affairs Challenge Virtual Exchange, the new program is being implemented by WorldDenver, and supported by the Stevens Initiative. The Stevens Initiative, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, “is an international effort to build global competence and career readiness skills for young people in the United States and the Middle East and North Africa by growing and enhancing the field of virtual exchange,” states a news release. WorldDenver is one of 19 grantees to be named a 2021 Stevens Initiative grantee. What the youth will do in the program is work in bi-national teams to identify a challenge in their community that is related to the UN
Sustainable Development Goals. They will work together to create a solution, and the program will culminate with the students presenting their challenge and solution plan in video format. Winners of the competition will get to implement their plan. The youth will develop relationships and lifelong friendships with their peers abroad, while also building empathy, developing leadership skills and learning about new topics. “When young people can turn their ideas into real action, especially while working cross-culturally, it is immensely powerful and transformative,” Krieger said in a news release, “setting them on a path toward meaningful global citizenship and community involvement.” Kelly Jones-Wagy is one of the local World Affairs Challenge Virtual Exchange facilitators/mentors. “Students generally have incredible ideas,” Jones-Wagy said. “As a facilitator, my goal is just to help them to focus those ideas as they work with their counterparts through the virtual exchange.” Jones-Wagy said she hopes the students learn from each other. “Not just about their project, but also about all of the things that they have in common,” Jones-Wagy said. “The more time we all spend getting to know people, the more we will be able to respect and care for others.”
Rumors swirled on social media following the Wind Crest forum incident, including a post describing Leung as the aggressor. The post was shared dozens of times across multiple pages. It was unclear who authored the statement. Commenters launched into debates, some defending Leung and pointing out the information was unverified, while others discussed voting him out of office. Horn, the campaign manager for the Kids First slate, said she did not think the post was “blatantly false” but added, “I do think it was defi-
nitely sensationalized.” She and another senior consultant on the Kids First campaign said they do not know who wrote the statement. Watkins said the post was “a complete misrepresentation of what happened.” Leung said he was hesitant to respond to the social media furor because the post’s original author was anonymous, and he did not want to further spread its claims. “I choose to ignore that because there is no truth and no merit in that,” he said.

Personal growth precedes, boosts professional growth
L
ast week I had the privilege to participate in a professional development program for salespeople delivered by my good friend and mentor Bryan Fla- WINNING nagan. Although WORDS I have seen Bryan and many other corporate trainers deliver quality programs for more than 20 years, I still pick up something new, or a lesson that needed to be reinforced. Michael Norton I listened to this one sentence, and I was immediately transported back to hearing Zig Ziglar talk about how important it is to develop the person, not just the skill set. Here is what was said: “Personal growth always precedes professional growth.” Having spent most of my professional career in the personal and professional development industry, I know this to be an accurate statement. Working with companies of all sizes, one of the questions I receive is around guidance for a sales training program or leadership development
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Growth is hurting Castle Rock I have been an area resident since 1979 — Castle Rock was 4,700 folks then, 70,000 now. Current zoning takes us to over 120,000. That is an annual growth rate of over 6.5% for 40 years. Economists say that quality of life suffers with excessive growth due to higher taxes, more crime and less freedom. Castle Rock asked for tax increases on the ballot. The crime rate is up and parking is difficult. Do we want to live in Castle Rock or Aurora which has these problems? The Dawson Trails development is in Castle Rock due to a southern flagpole annexation several decades ago. The owners have a better chance of high density with the town vs. the county. The current town council never met a development they did not like. This development is shoehorning high density into an area that is bordered on all four sides by larger acreage.

program that can help companies accelerate growth. And before I answer, I ask a question in return, “What have you done so far to build the people in your organization?” Almost everyone will answer with a list of courses or companies that they have worked with to address or focus on a specific skill set such as sales training, time management, communication skills, customer service training, presentation skills, etc. When this happens, I pause and reframe the question. I acknowledge that those skills absolutely help develop capabilities, and then I ask them to think about some of the other character traits that can impact their people personally and professionally while still helping the company to grow. Some understand my question as they recognize that when we work on building our people, the people will in turn help us build our business. Equally, if not more important than the skills mentioned above, are the softer skills training such as confidence, developing a positive attitude, building winning relationships at home and at work, goal setting and achievement, and learning to work and live with hope. When
we can instill or work to strengthen these qualities, our people will be in a much better frame of mind to receive the other skills-based training that can further their career while contributing to their team and the organization. Having been in the people building business for most of my life, I can share with you that unfortunately many organizations miss this opportunity. This is a shame because there is so much available data that supports the fact that when we work on the personal growth aspects of our people, the professional growth always follows. Companies who overlook investing in personal development opportunities often find themselves paying substantially higher replacement costs. Sometimes we fall into the trap of believing that all the people we hire or who are already a part of our team don’t need any help in their personal growth. This is flawed thinking because each of us will go through life’s challenges, and we may not always be prepared for the impact or toll those challenges can take on our lives. Even some of our people whom we see as strong and capable may be going through
a hardship that can cross over into their professional work. We all bring our home life to work and our work life home, both the good and the bad. Self-confidence helps us to develop a positive outlook and attitude. A positive attitude contributes to building winning relationships. Confident and positive people who work well with others become goals oriented and results focused. And when we can help develop all these character traits in our people, hope abounds. And as John Maxwell says, “If there is hope in the future, there is power in the present.” Personal growth precedes and accelerates professional growth. If you have questions about how to go about this for you and your team, I would love to hear from you at mnorton@ tramazing.com. And when we can live and work with confidence, a positive attitude, establish winning relationships, realize our goals, and become filled with hope, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager, and motivator to businesses of all sizes.
Dual-tasking can help with balance
A
s you age, you may start to notice changes in your balance, or may have already experienced a fall. Noticing changes in your balance can LIVING & feel intimidating AGING WELL or even scary at times, but it’s important to remember that you’re not alone in this journey to maintain or improve your balance. In fact, most falls are Sadie Schanbacher preventable. With the proper education and training for balance, you can achieve significant improvement in your balance and reduce your risk of falling. A common misconception about balance is that it relies mostly on your body’s strength. The truth is, balance is just as much of a challenge for your brain as it is for your body, and strength only plays a small part. There are many things that impact your balance in addi-
tion to strength, such as vision, lighting changes, medications and more. For example, if you need to use your hands to get out of a chair, this may be a sign your coordination has changed, or that your strength has declined. Balance is a reflex, and you can improve your balance through physical exercises (such as onelegged stands) and cognitive exercises (such as solving math problems or playing memory games). What’s most effective is combining these exercises at the same time, also known as “dualtasking.” Dual-tasking challenges you to think and move at the same time, which helps your balance reflexes and better prepares you for the world and its many uncertainties. One real-life example of dual-tasking is being asked a question while walking — oftentimes if this happens to an older adult, they’ll typically stop walking in order to answer the question. This is because the part of the brain that controls balance has declined. The good news is that dual-tasking balance training can significantly
improve balance after just a few weeks of training. There are also plenty of things you can do at home to help improve your balance in your everyday routine. Try some of these helpful tips in your free time around the house: • Adjust your stance. • Every time you brush your teeth, challenge yourself to stand with your feet closer together. • Focus on your footing. • Focus on stepping from heel to toe when you’re walking. This gives your brain the information it needs to assess the walking surface. • Talk while moving. • Train your brain and body to work together by counting items around a room or carrying on a conversation. Listening to music is a great distraction as well. • Lift your feet over imaginary objects. • Practice lifting your feet over imaginary objects to prepare yourself for everyday trip hazards, such as rugs. Trip hazards exist everywhere — learning to safely and

during a Nov. 15 meeting. The Castle Pines North Metro District provides drinking water, gwastewater and stormwater services and other functions to the area .of Castle Pines west of I-25. After calls and emails started flowing in with furious residents questioning the information provided by the metro district, the City of Castle Pines put out the following statement, “The City of Castle Pines has been made aware of intentional, inaccurate, and potentially politically-motivated misinformation being ,published regarding Monarch Boulevard. All communications suggesting that Monarch Boulevard will be converted to four lanes are false, and there are no past or planned city tconsiderations to widen Monarch to four lanes. For more information, please visit the project website at castlepinesco.gov/road-solutions/.” Castle Pines City Manager Michael Penny said the city statement used the words “potentially politically motivated” because two members of the metro district board at the time were running for seats on the city council in the election that ended Nov. 2.

plan because the information was released by the metro district. “I stand by every word of that email and believe the metro district did its constituents a valuable public service. The metro district blew the whistle. The city got caught,” McEntire said. Lowen did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Penny said prior to sending the email to Castle Pines’ residents, the metro district board did not contact anyone at the city for clarification or comment. The city website show that road construction plans approved on Sept. 30 show there is no plans to make Monarch Boulevard four lanes. When asked what went into the decision to send the email on Oct. 22, Sheila MacDonald, the metro district interim manager of communications, would not comment on whether the entire board voted to send the email, who wrote it or why it was sent when it was. MacDonald said the email is based on information found in a city memorandum. Dated Aug. 24, the lengthy memorandum, signed by current Mayor Tera Radloff, requested funding from Douglas County commissioners to help pay for the ongoing road rehabilitation program that started in Castle Pines this year. While MacDonald did not respond to questions on why the metro board waited until October to put out a public response about the August memo, she did highlight several portions of the memo that she said are concerning, including a sentence asking the county to match funding “dollar-for-dollar” and under the background section, a sentence stating the Monarch Boulevard is a “pass thru” road parallel to I-25.

can speak to what it means because he is the author. Admitting he could have done a better job wording the “background” section of the memo, Penny said the city has no plans to widen Monarch Boulevard. Penny said the portion the metro district is claiming is a city plan to develop a four-lane frontage road is actually him providing county commissioners with background material. At one time, Penny said, Monarch Boulevard was under county control, and early plans were to turn it into a frontage road. Since the city became incorporated in 2008 after the people voted in 2007, Penny said, no sitting council has ever even discussed expanding the two-lane road into four lanes, nor do they want to. Penny stressed the memo was meant to ask the county to help pay their share in maintaining roads. Penny said the city is working on an agreement with the county to get $3 million in matching funds in 2022 to rehabilitate city roads as specified in the “approved” road construction plans highlighted on the city website. Wendy Holmes, communitications and public affairs director for Dougals County, said the county has no such agreement with the City of Castle Pines as described in the
metro district email. “Douglas County is pleased to partner with the City of Castle Pines to help fund a one-time, specific pavement maintenance project, for existing lanes on Castle Pines Parkway and Monarch. Especially given the importance these roadways play in providing an alternate route north and south should there be an emergency on I-25, a partnership such as this is wise,” the statement from Holmes said. “Most importantly, we recognize that as a separate municipal government the city has the authority to choose the capacity of their roadways – their roadways, their decision.” It is not uncommon for municipalities to work with county government for road improvements. Over the last year, the Town of Castle Rock has been working with Douglas County to develop a plan to improve Crowfoot Valley Road, which is seeing increased traffic due to growth between the town and Parker. In the Aug. 24 memo, Penny highlights that Castle Pines has received far less road assistance funding than other neighboring municipalities. Penny said the entire point of the memo was to begin a dialogue with the county to increase road construction funding.

Archers find their own aims, outlets on indoor ranges BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
t
c r rchery is more than how Katniss Everdeen won the i L Hunger Games. It’s whatever the archer wants it to be — a friendly competi- s tion; a therapeutic outlet for one’s c i frustration; a challenging, physical exercise; a mental game; a way i w to hunt; a way to make friends; a discipline; a skill; a sport; and much t more. a Littleton-area resident Adrian Evangelista said shooting every day l t at Bear Creek Archery, in unincorporated Arapahoe County near n Englewood, is a way to get out of w the house. p “(Archery) teaches you how to t manage your frustration … and learn from your mistakes,” he said. a “ … Life could be boring without U sports.” As the weather turns colder and the days get shorter, many archers s p have moved indoors for targetshooting and tournament season, r o which runs until March. c Archery in general has become more mainstream in recent years, and its popularity has grown dur- w ing the pandemic because it’s a “CO-b VID friendly” activity, Bear Creek a Archery owner Dave Marsh said. M Kevin Lewis, who owns Quick Draw Archery in Highlands Ranch, said the sport usually sees an uptick in interest after the Summer Olympics. But, Hollywood is also responsible for archery’s increasing popularity, especially among girls. After 2012’s “The Hunger Games” movie came out, Lewis said everybody wanted to be like Katniss. He also wondered whether Disney’s upcoming “Hawkeye” TV show will likewise generate interest in the sport. Evangelista, who started archery in 2013, recommended people give it a shot at least once, saying, “If you like it, you like it.”
A
Setting their sights on indoor competitions This time of year, Lewis said indoor ranges see a mix of people doing it for fun, children learning the sport, and archers practicing for tournaments. For a serious archer, he said, indoor and outdoor archery are two completely different games. There are more options outdoors, including hunting and 3D target courses; but indoor has its own world of events and specialists too, Lewis explained. Conifer-area resident Dave Cenedella said he and his wife plan to compete in the Thursday night league at Bear Creek Archery. Cenedella, who’s been practicing archery for six years, said he enjoys bow-hunting and shooting in his backyard range. Like rifle-shooting, archery requires self-reliance, he SEE ARCHERY, P17

continued, but it doesn’t impact one’s hearing like rifle-shooting does. “It’s super-challenging,” Cenedella said of archery. “There are so many variables, and you have to do everything the same way every time.” Right now, Colorado’s best archers are preparing for this February’s Vegas Shoot, the annual indoor “Super Bowl of archery” in Las Vegas. Castle Rock’s Chris Treloar, a staff shooter at Quick Draw Archery, said the tournament world is a lot of fun. He’s competed in indoor and outdoor competitions, winning several across Colorado. Treloar also enjoys the ritualistic side of archery. The state has a huge archery community, with lots of shops and organizations, so there’s something going on every night, he said. Fellow staff shooter Rick Typher, who lives in Highlands Ranch, appreciates how archery is therapeutic and a mental game, stating, “It’s a battle against yourself.” Un-bow-lievable fun Whether archers only recently started shooting or have been practicing it for years, local indoor ranges have something for everyone, including private lessons and classes for all experience levels. Many rent out recurve bows, which are generally easier to draw but harder to hold, local professional archer Steve Marsh explained. Meanwhile, compound bows are

individualized and end up being harder to draw but easier to hold, he said. “You can’t expect to master (archery) overnight,” he said. Marsh, who works at Bear Creek Archery and shoots for the Matthews Archery team, described how he started archery at age 8 but didn’t become proficient until he was 20. Littleton’s Ben Hartford and his son Nathan, 14, started archery
earlier this fall. Ben used to do it at camp, and revisited it when his cousin gifted him a bow. Since then, he and Nathan have been practicing how to sight their targets. “It’s a skill,” Hartford continued. “The more you do it, the better you get.” Isaac Smith, a college student from Highlands Ranch, started five or six years ago and described it a fun hobby that he revisits whenever he can. He enjoys both indoor and
outdoor archery, and likes setting up makeshift ranges whenever he goes camping. “It can be relaxing if you don’t stress about it,” he said. Madison Myles, who lives in the Parker area and started archery when she was 10, also has an outdoor range at home and tries to shoot at least once a week. “I like the joy of it — the adrenaline rush,” she said. “It’s fun. Just try it out.”
Church keeps arts scene lively Nov. 19 free concert will feature Colorado Chamber Orchestra String Quartet BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Seven really happy-looking musicians swung into “East of the Sun and West of the Moon” on Oct. 22 as pianist Purnell Steen and the Five Points Ambassadors presented the first concert of Littleton United Methodist Church’s Fine Arts Series, a local treat that has been sorely missed around here since the entertainment world stopped spinning, in our area and just about everywhere! The audience enjoyed a piano,
bass, two guitars, drums, sax and trumpet, as well as a vocalist. Steen, a member of a musical Denver extended family, was last heard at LUMC when he played at a memorial service for longtime friend and jazz fan Charlie Carroll, an active member of this church. Church members have contributed over the years to bring a series of free concerts to LUMC and we’ll hope they can be extended. At present the Master Artist Series includes the Steen group plus the Colorado Chamber Orchestra String Quartet, which will perform “two monuments of chamber music by Beethoven and Mendelssohn” in a free show at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 19, according to David Kates, the church’s director of Music and Fine Arts Ministries.

Judge temporarily halts county’s mask opt-out policy School district again requires facial coverings BY ELLIOTT WENZLER AND JESSICA GIBBS EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A federal judge on Oct. 26 issued a ruling sought by the Douglas County School District, temporarily halting a public health order by the county’s new Board of Health that allowed people to opt out of mask mandates and restricted quarantines. The school district later announced it is reinstating its previous quarantining policies and will require masking for everyone inside its schools unless an individual has a written medical exemption. District Superintendent Corey Wise said in a statement that the policy is aimed at giving every child, regardless of their circumstances, a fair shot at a safe education. “As a school district, we strive to do everything possible to protect the health, safety, and learning of every single child, especially our most vulnerable and those with significant health conditions who are particularly susceptible to COVID-19. Today’s ruling allows us to do just that,” Wise said the day of the ruling. In a statement, school board President David Ray called the ruling “a win for the families of students with high-risk medical conditions,” and said no one should have to choose between sending their children to
school and risking their health. “All of our students deserve access to in-person learning, and the court’s decision allows us to continue enacting policies that ensure students — including those with disabilities and underlying medical conditions — have the ability to do so, safely,” Ray said. Issuing a temporary restraining order in connection with a lawsuit filed by the district, U.S. District Judge John Kane ordered the newly-formed Douglas County Health Department not to enforce the public health order for at least 14 days. Before the public health order, the district mandated the wearing of masks inside its schools as a COVID safety measure. The county order allowed adults to opt themselves out of the district mask rule and students to opt out with a parent’s note.
‘I find the risk of irreparable harm to plaintiffs is significant and they have sufficiently demonstrated that the public health order denies student plaintiffs reasonable accommodations of science-backed mask and quarantine requirements.’

“I find the risk of irreparable harm to plaintiffs is significant and they have sufficiently demonstrated that the public health order denies student plaintiffs reasonable accommodations of science-backed mask and quarantine requirements,” Kane said. The ruling came after arguments were presented by the Douglas County Health Department and the school district Oct. 25 and 26 in support of the district’s suit challenging the county health department. The suit’s plaintiffs include nine families of students John Kane, said to be at risk of U.S. District judge high COVID-19. “The order denies student plaintiffs reasonable accommodations in the form of adequate masking and quarantining protocol necessary to provide them with equal access to public education,” Kane said in his ruling. Kane said he would revisit the issue for a possible preliminary injunction Nov. 8. In a statement in response to the ruling, the Douglas County Health Department said it disagreed with the decision. “We remain confident that when we have more time to make a full case we will be able to demonstrate that the Douglas County Board of Health struck the proper balance of public health protection and parental involvement in health care decisions for their children,” according to the statement, released through a spokesperson. “Our order allowed the school district to continue its mask mandate

even though the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment lifted its statewide mask mandate for students in July,” the statement said. “We would continue to encourage the Douglas County Board of Education to make partners of all parents in decisions that fundamentally impact their children.” Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon responded to the decision with a comment to reporters. “While Douglas County continues to remain virtually without any pediatric COVID hospitalizations, including students with disabilities, this school board refuses to relinquish their militant grip on kids’ and parents’ personal health care choices in order to maintain senseless, onesize-fits-all authoritarian policies,” he said. The district and families of highrisk students sued the county’s new health department Oct. 20, alleging that the agency’s new public health order violated civil rights of students with disabilities. “The message is simple: In these very complex times, our most vulnerable children cannot be left behind,” Ray said in a statement at the time. The Douglas County health agency passed its first public health order on Oct. 8. The order allowed parents and guardians to opt children out of masking mandates in the county with a note saying masks negatively affected a student’s mental and physical health. Adults can opt themselves out. The health order also placed more limits on how people without COVID symptoms could be quarantined if exposed to COVID-19. It was that order that Kane’s ruling temporarily blocked. The district’s lawsuit says in the course of five days, its “rate of maskwearing dropped from 97% to 83%, and over 4,500 students and over 500 staff were exempted from wearing a mask” after the health order passed. Douglas County set up its own public health department amid a long-running dispute with the TriCounty Health Department over COVID safety rules. Tri-County had been Dougco’s public health agency for decades.

TRI-COUNTY FROM PAGE 1
COVID-19 safety policy. After Douglas County formed its own health department in September, county commissioners made a deal with Tri-County to continue receiving all services, including those related to COVID-19, from the agency. Then, the Douglas County Health Department approved a public health order that required all entities in the county, including the school district, to allow people to opt out of mask requirements. The order also limited the scope of COVIDrelated to quarantines in the county. Emails obtained by Colorado Community Media through a public records request show that before that health order was approved Oct. 8, Tri-County told the new Dougco health board that these measures would make it difficult for Tri-County to continue providing COVIDrelated services. “Removing nearly all mitigation measures to control COVID-19 transmission in schools is greatly concerning and with decades of public health experiences and expertise, TCHD cannot support this action,” Jennifer Ludwig, the deputy director for Tri-County, wrote to the county board of health president, Doug Benevento, according to the records obtained by CCM. After the county opt-out order was approved, Tri-County and Douglas County soon began discussions of transitioning COVID-19 work to the county, according to the emails.

When asked by CCM, neither the county nor the health department provided a specific timeline for when it would occur. A federal judge later temporarily blocked Douglas County’s opt-out order at the request of the county school district, which had previously mandated masks inside its schools. Now, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment will take over COVID-related services including case investigations and contact tracing until the new health department is able to find a way to
provide them on its own, county officials said Nov. 1. “I’m certainly glad that they will be filling in those gaps but I’m confident that Douglas County will be able to step up and fill in and begin to handle that independently from the state at some point,” said Commissioner Abe Laydon during the Nov. 1 meeting. In an earlier interview about the transition, county Commissioner George Teal told CCM that the county is looking at providing these services through the help of a private company.

While Teal said in the Nov. 1 meeting that he found the decision by Tri-County to hand off COVID services to be “very disturbing,” he added that he’s “not bothered at all” by the move based on confidential COVID-19 data that the commissioners received during an executive session that morning. “This is a good time for this to happen,” he said. In the same meeting, commissioners asked their legal counsel to look more deeply into why some data related to COVID-19 is required to be kept confidential.

Teal spoke about the Waterton Road extension, from Rampart Range Road to Moore Road, which is set to be finished by fall 2022. Laydon added that construction on the C-470 Trail over Yosemite Street will begin later this year and is expected to take one year to finish. Other projects discussed include the widening of County Line Road between University Boulevard and Broadway, the widening of Crowfoot Valley Road and improvements at the intersection of Havana Street and Meridian Boulevard. General issues The board also gave notes on various other programs in the county.

State cross country titles decided in Springs South metro athletes from Creek, Chaparral take individual firsts BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Riley Stewart of Cherry Creek High School won another Class 5A girls individual cross country title
and Tanner Brown of Parker-area school Chaparral captured his first 5A boys championship on Oct. 30 at the Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. In the 5A team competition, Centennial school Arapahoe won the girls title and Mountain Vista edged crosstown Highlands Ranch school Valor Christian by two points to take home the boys title. Arapahoe, a runner-up to Cherry Creek in last season’s girls state
meet, reversed places with Creek’s Bruins as the Warriors had 42 points while second place Cherry Creek finished with 60 points. The 5A boys team chase was close as Vista had five runners in the top 20 to garner 59 points. Valor’s fifth runner was 22nd and the Eagles had 61 points. Stewart won her third straight individual title and couldn’t say if anybody pushed her during the race, which she won with a time of
17:20.9. Valor Christian’s Brooke Wilson was second in 17:47.4 with Emily Lamontagne of Arapahoe finishing third with a time of 18:01.3. Aidyn Woodall of Castle Rock school Douglas County was sixth. “It feels amazing,” said the Stanford-bound Stewart. “The conditions were nice. It was nice and cool and there wasn’t a lot of wind.

Arapahoe misses chance against Grandview Warriors come out of loss with three-way tie for regular-season top spot BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Arapahoe High School, of Centennial, had an opportunity to outright win the Centennial League football regular season championship on Oct. 28 in a game against Grandview, of Aurora. However, the Arapahoe Warriors started slow and nothing much went much better in a 32-13 loss to the Wolves at Legacy Stadium in Aurora. Both Arapahoe and Grandview finished the regular season with 8-2 records and tied for first place in the Centennial League with 4-1 records. It wound up being a three-team tie
for first place after two-time defending state champions Cherry Creek, of Greenwood Village, beat Aurora school Smoky Hill 35-10 on Oct. 29. Arapahoe surrendered an 81-yard touchdown run to Grandview sophomore quarterback Liam Szarka on the Wolves’ third play of the game. Then a snap over the punter’s head and a blocked punt produced safeties that pushed Grandview ahead 11-0 in the first quarter. The teams played even until Grandview’s Moosah Alsafarr, who rushed for 134 yards, scored on a 1-yard run in the third quarter to increase the Wolves’ lead to 25-7. Arapahoe scored late in the third quarter on a 12-yard run by DJ Montoya but any comeback hopes were exhausted when Grandview’s Kahden Rullo scored on a 10-yard run after a recovery of a muffed punt runback with 70 seconds remaining in the game. Pyreese Miller tallied Arapahoe’s
other TD on a 22-yard run with 41 seconds left in the first half. First-year Warriors coach Joe Nuu praised Grandview before getting into the mistakes by his own team. “They were just the better team tonight,” he said. “They played great. We felt like we could do some things. You can’t give up a blocked punt, a missed field goal and think we’re going to win the game. “Even at the end when they stripped the ball from us. It should have been a lot tighter game than it was.” Arapahoe now awaits to see whom it will play in the playoffs “We’re in the playoffs,” said Nuu. “We just don’t know if we will be in the top eight. The kids are not happy when I told them that. They’ll get over it. We’re 8-2. Holy cow. It’s a great record. We’ll come back but we held our own destiny in our hands.”

State prep playoffs open with Arapahoe win Warriors score 3 goals in 8-minute span against Chaparral
“Chaparral is a good team,” said Hampshire. “Because we jumped on them so early, all of a sudden it was hard for them. Their boys battled and they continued to battle. “Down the stretch of the season they did some great stuff against Mountain Vista (5-1 win) and against Regis (3-2 win) so we just played extremely well. We needed to because the last three games we did not play well. This was good for us. It was a really good game for us offensively. Once you score goals it relieves a little pressure off our defense.”
Senior Caleb Ballard led the way for Arapahoe with two goals and two assists for six points to give him 35 points for the season. Will Grauberger had two goals while Ramzi Maalout, Blake D’Agostino, Clark Roe and Marshall Gueller each scored once. Goalie Alex Bissett had to make just two saves as he notched his ninth shutout of the year. At press time, Arapahoe was slated to face Colorado Springs’ Rampart in the second round on Nov. 2. In other first-round games involving south metro teams, secondseeded Valor Christian’s Zac Brooks got the goal in a 1-0 win by the Highlands Ranch school against Doherty, of Colorado Springs. Rock Cayon’s Owen Barnett had a goal and three points in the Highlands Ranch school’s victory over Poudre, of Fort Collins. Matt Relijanovic and Bailey Voit scored for Castle View, of Castle Rock, in a 2-0 triumph over Chatfield, of Jefferson County. Mountain Vista, of Highlands Ranch, used goals by Kyle Atkinson, Tristan Larsen and Diego Ramirez to down Aurora Central, 3-1. Cherry Creek, of Greenwood Village, lost a shootout 4-1 against Fossil Ridge, of Fort Collins, after the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Luke Williams scored in the second overtime period to lift Grandview, of Aurora, to a 2-1 win over Regis Jesuit, also of Aurora.

Arapahoe High School boys soccer coach Mark Hampshire is well aware how the games and preparation change once the regular season ends and the state playoffs begin. Playoff games have more emotion and intensity and the Class 5A firstround state playoffs games were held Oct. 27. “Playoffs are remarkably different,” said Hampshire. “The first 15 games of the season you want to give yourself an opportunity to get into the playoffs. You start figuring out players, what players can do, what systems can do, but the playoffs start and mentally everything shifts because you know you are one and done. If you don’t win, you don’t get another chance. The emotions are higher. “This is year 30 for me,” Hampshire continued. “There are things through the later part of the regular season we hope we can do when we get into the playoffs. We back off a lot in the amount of time we train, we target specific things we need

to work on in our training. At this point, the kids own it. We can do a little bit of the chess game and that kind of thing as coaches. We want the kids to have fun and experience this and own whatever happens.” Arapahoe, of Centennial, owned Parker-area school Chaparral in its first-round match, scoring early and often in a 7-0 victory at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. The Warriors scored in the first 14 minutes of the contest and tallied three goals in an eight-minute span to take a 5-0 halftime lead.

way to finish my high school career before I head to college.” Wilson was the closest runner to Stewart but her dreams didn’t come true. “In my dreams I was hoping to compete with her but I was really happy with where I was compared to her,” she said. “I was really happy with my race. Everything that I was planning before all kind of fell into of what actually I wanted it to be.” Brown, a sophomore, ran in a time of 15:44.7 to edge Valor Christian’s Ty Garrett who was second in 15:48.3. Brown exceeded his hopes. “I came I here hoping to get a Top 5 but I was feeling good and able to keep up with the pack until the end,” said Brown. “Going up that final hill into the stadium, I knew I could take it because I’ve always felt so strong on that hill when we would come down to practice and in last year’s race. I felt great. It was the best race I’ve run.” Arapahoe’s girls had their five scoring runner place in among the top 18 individuals. “We won freshman year but we have improved a lot since then,” said the Warriors’ Emily Lamontagne. “As a whole we had a really good team. We were definitely hoping for a good showing down here. We definitely wanted to run the best that we could.” Lamontagne’s third-place finish led Arapahoe with Ava Mitchell coming in fourth, Anna Bridges 11th, Ava Escorcia 16th and Karli Holmes 18th.

as Vista had five runners in the top 20 to garner 59 points. Valor’s fifth runner was 22nd and the Eagles had 61 points. Vista’s boys knew they had come in either first or second but didn’t know they had won until it was announced over the public address system that Valor was second, which set off a celebration among the Golden Eagles athletes. It was the third straight title for the Golden Eagles and seventh overall boys cross country state championship. Vista’s Jayden Nats was fifth in the individual race with a time of 16:01.6, Tyler Downs was eighth, Benjamin Anderson 11th, Luke Urban 20th and Aaron Yoccom 21st. “We knew it was close,” said Nats. “I was nervous.

LUMC is home base for the Littleton Symphony Orchestra, which played a sold-out concert on Oct. 15, featuring pianist Katie Mahan performing “Rhapsody in Blue.” On Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. the symphony will perform a holiday concert: “Vivaldi, Dvorak and Other Favorites” with violinist Laura Anderson. These are ticketed at reasonable prices, but no tickets will be sold at the door, due to COVID restrictions, so buy in advance! Longtime LSO Maestro Jurgen DeLemos, who plans to retire, will conduct a New Year’s Eve concert at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 31. The orchestra will host guest conductors in the new year as it searches for a new leader on Feb. 18 (David Brussel), April 8 (Scott O’Neill) and May 20 (Bill Hill). Also planned in the new year (Feb. 7 and March 18) are a pair of concerts by Voices West, which was once the Littleton Chorale, started by the late Bud Nicholson. Dr. Michael Todd Krueger is director and we will look for more informa-
tion about these performances soon. The February concert will be a benefit for Littleton Public Schools’ music program, which the chorus has long supported, and the title for the March event is “Sing Out My Soul,” a time to “remember, mourn, celebrate and sing ...” On April 23-24, the Littleton UMC Arts Festival will return with visual art, music and hopefully theater. A newly commissioned work by internationally recognized choral composer Thomas Keesecker will be performed. Watch for more information on this festive weekend. While we have listed the LUMC events we are aware of at present, we will remind as we hear more about these programs and add anything else we hear about as we move into a new year at this community treasure. We hope readers will enjoy and support wonderful music of all sorts. Littleton United Methodist Church is located at 5894 S. Datura St. in Littleton. The phone number is 303-794-6379 and the website is littletonumc.church. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, public events frequently are canceled or rescheduled.

The proposed annexation will not result in the detachment of area from any school district and attachment of the same to another school district. 11. Except to the extent necessary to avoid dividing parcels within the Annexation Property held in identical ownership, at least fifty percent (50%) of which are within the three (3) mile limit, the proposed annexation will not extend the municipal boundary of the Town more than three (3) miles in any direction from any point of the current municipal boundary in one (1) year. 12.

This Petition is accompanied by four (4) prints of an annexation map containing, among other things, the following information: (a) a written legal description of the boundaries of the Annexation Property; (b) a map showing the boundaries of the Annexation Property (c) within the annexation map, a showing of the location of each ownership tract in unplatted land and, if part or all of the area is platted, the boundaries and the plat numbers of the plots or of lots and blocks; and (d) next to the boundary of the Annexation Property, a drawing of the contiguous boundary of the Town and the contiguous boundary of any other municipality abutting the Annexation Property, if any. 18. In connection with the processing of this Petition, the Petitioner requests that the Town: (a) institute the process to establish planned development (“PD”) zoning for the Annexation Property in accordance with applicable provisions of the Town’s Municipal Code (the “Code”) and in accordance with any applicable provisions of Section 31-12-115 of the Annexation Act; and (b) approve and execute a development agreement acceptable to Petitioner and the Town (the “Development Agreement”) which establishes vested property rights for the Annexation Property for an agreed upon term, pursuant to Chapter 17.08 of the Code and Article 68, Title 24, Colorado Revised Statutes, and which, in conjunction with the PD zoning, will establish the development plan for the Annexation Property. 19. Petitioner has filed this Petition subject to the following conditions: (a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Petitioner, the annexation of the Annexation Property into the Town shall not be effective unless concurrently with the Council’s final approval of an ordinance annexing the Annexation Property into the Town, the Council gives its final approval to (A) zoning regulations for the Annexation Property in
form and substance satisfactory to the Petitioner, and (B) the Development Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Petitioner which among other things creates vested rights for the Annexation Property pursuant to existing Town ordinances or resolution and Section 24-68-101, C.R.S., et seq.; and (b) Petitioner hereby reserves the right to withdraw this Petition, and thereby prevent the Annexation Property from being annexed into the Town, by so notifying the Town Clerk in writing prior to the later to occur of: (i) the occurrence of the conditions to effectiveness of the annexation as set forth in Section 31-12-113(2)(b) of the Annexation Act; (ii) a later date, if any, set forth in the Development Agreement. 20. Upon the annexation of the Annexation Property becoming effective, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Petition, and to be set forth in the Development Agreement and the documents constituting the terms of the PD zoning for the Annexation Property (the “PD Documents”), the Annexation Property shall be subject to the regulations of the Town, except as otherwise set forth in the Development Agreement and the PD Documents, and except for general taxation purposes in which case the annexation shall be deemed effective on January 1 of the next succeeding year following adoption of the annexation ordinance. 21. This Petition is filed on the condition that the zoning requested by Petitioner under paragraph 18 (a), above, is granted by the Town as provided in the Development Agreement, and the Town agrees that no filing of the annexation ordinance and annexation maps as provided under Section 31-12-113, subsection (2)(a)(II)(A) of the Annexation Act shall be made until, and unless the requested zoning is granted and no longer subject to appeal. 22. Except for the terms and conditions of this Petition, the Development Agreement and the PD Documents, which terms and conditions Petitioner has approved or shall expressly approve, and therefore do not constitute an imposition of additional terms and conditions within the meaning of Section 31-12-112(1) of the Annexation Act, Petitioner requests that no additional terms and conditions be imposed upon annexation of the Annexation Property to the Town. THEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Town Council of the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado, complete and approve the annexation of the Annexation Property pursuant and subject to the provisions of the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965, as amended, and the terms and conditions of this Petition.

DIA chief: ‘Holiday season will be tough’ Security lines long amid passenger surge, labor shortage BY MATT BLOOM DENVERITE
Lizzie Johnson describes her most recent trip through Denver International Airport as “stressful, to say the least.” She’s flown in and out of the airport for decades, but this time was different. When the Denver resident arrived at DIA on Oct. 15 with her husband and two kids, the Transportation Security Administration security line wrapped all the way through the baggage claim area and beyond, she said. At one point, she and her husband got separated in the crowd and had to call each other to link back up. “There were lines and confused people everywhere,” Johnson said. “I’ve never seen it that packed.” Passenger traffic has bounced back sharply at DIA since the pandemic began, leading to record long security wait times and parking bottlenecks at the airport. The airport is currently seeing the fastest recovery of any U.S. hub, according to DIA leadership. Flight records show more than 24 million passengers passed through the airport between January and June. The numbers remain high and are projected to surpass pre-pandemic levels by early next year. In a wide-ranging press conference Oct. 22, airport CEO Phil Washington asked for patience during the surge, saying DIA was struggling to meet demand due to capacity limits

and labor shortages in almost every department. “We intend to make things better,” Washington said. “But we have a lot of work to do.” Washington, who took the CEO job three months ago, outlined several immediate changes to help meet projected demand during the upcoming holiday season. They include the reopening of shuttle parking lots, construction of four new TSA security lines and the addition of more information kiosks, with workers known as “purple shirts,” to help passengers navigate the terminal. Airport staff will shoehorn the new TSA lines into the existing security infrastructure as soon as possible, Washington said. He did not offer a clear timeline for the project.
Starting this weekend, the Pikes Peak shuttle lot will open on a temporary basis. The space has been closed for months due to ongoing bus driver shortages. To help with recruiting, Washington said he is looking at waiving commercial driver’s license requirements as a hiring condition. The solution would require drivers to use smaller vans to ferry passengers from the lots to the airport. “I think it should be permanent,” he said. “Because this is going to be an ongoing issue as passenger volumes increase.” Since opening in 1995, DIA has seen visitation skyrocket to roughly 70 million passengers each year. Numbers plunged during 2020 due to the pandemic, but the airport projects volume to reach 80 million
by 2025 and 100 million by 2035. Many of its current challenges stem from the fact that the facility was built to serve roughly 50 million passengers each year, Washington said. Several long-term construction projects are in the works to expand capacity, but some have hit roadblocks in recent years. “The holiday season will be tough,” Washington said. “But I see light at the end of the tunnel in terms of next year and after the holidays.” Inside the terminal Oct. 22, security lines snaked well into the baggage claim area. Passengers said they were surprised by how busy the airport was, but some noted premium options like TSA PreCheck helped them reach their flights in time. Jim Overmeyer drove to the airport from Congress Park to pick up two friends coming into town for a concert. It took him 15 minutes just to find parking, he said. Then he got lost in the terminal’s maze of construction walls. “This is crazy,” he said. “But I understand they’re doing what they have to do to stay relevant.” In late October, the airport opened the first phase of its Great Hall expansion after a series of delays. The extra space will open up the main terminal and allow for better foot traffic flow, Washington said. He emphasized passengers should still plan to at least give themselves a two-hour cushion when trying to make a flight in the coming months.
