County discusses home-based business regs Residents ask for clarification in rules, share frustrations BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Encore, a seven-story, multi-use building, is completed in downtown Castle Rock.

Home-based business regulations were the topic of discussion in a special town-hall meeting hosted by the Douglas County commissioners on Nov. 16. Commissioners took citizen questions and concerns during the hourlong meeting. County staff attended the meeting to answer questions and clarify how the codes are implemented and enforced. Commissioner George Teal, who had a home-based business in the past, said he has concerns about how current county codes are written because they directly impact some residents who are not causing problems. In the case of Jenna Bacon and her husband, the county has given them a letter stating they are in violation of home-based business codes. Bacon said her husband manages a grass seed business. The couple moved from Castle Rock to just outside of Parker in unincorporated Douglas County. Bacon said she did not think the family business would cause concerns since her husband does the actual work at other people’s homes

Colorado officials have ordered 15% of the state’s school districts to replace low-quality elementary reading programs, a major step toward enforcing a 2019 law that requires schools to use reading curriculum backed by science in kindergarten through third grade. The state education department sent out dozens of letters in late October notifying districts that one or more of their schools use unacceptable reading curriculum and that district officials must submit plans by Jan. 17 for complying with the law. Among the districts receiving the letters are Adams 12, Cherry Creek, Denver, Douglas County, Englewood, Jeffco and Weld RE-4. State officials said they likely will send more letters after clarifying what curriculum some districts are using. Given Colorado’s local-control ethos and the wide latitude schools have long enjoyed in choosing curriculum, the state’s oversight effort is unprecedented and already appears to have prompted some of Colorado’s largest districts to adopt new reading programs. But some literacy advocates worry that there are signs of state backpedaling after a recent decision by education department leaders to allow at least 14 districts to continue using a state-rejected reading program called ReadyGEN. Even so, the state’s crackdown on K-3 reading curriculum seems to be working. Melissa Colsman, associate commissioner of student learning at the Colorado Department of Education, said only 41% of Colorado’s 178 school districts last spring met rules on K-3 reading curriculum. This fall,

that proportion has risen to 63%. Officials from the 90,000-student Denver district announced Nov. 11 at a public literacy event organized by Chalkbeat that they’re piloting a state-approved reading program — Core Knowledge Language Arts — in some schools this year, with plans for a wider adoption in the coming year. The curriculum is among a dozen core reading programs that the state has approved for use in kindergarten through third grade. Officials in the Jeffco, Dougco, and Cherry Creek districts are also piloting or selecting state-approved reading programs this year. Some schools in the three districts have been using a state-rejected reading program commonly called Lucy Calkins, which experts have criticized for encouraging students to guess at words instead of sounding them out. School districts often adopt new curriculum every six or seven years. Such purchases can be expensive, but the influx of federal COVID relief money means schools now have extra cash that can cover such one-time expenses. Experts say well-trained teachers are critical to teaching reading well, but that high-quality curriculum can make that job easier. Among the districts that received state letters in October warning that they used unacceptable K-3 reading curriculum were those using ReadyGEN in some grades or schools, including St. Vrain Valley, Boulder Valley, 27J, and Thompson on the Front Range and Roaring Fork and Salida in western Colorado. Soon after, the state withdrew its demands for those districts to switch. Along with several other commonly used reading programs, ReadyGEN was reviewed and rejected by state evaluators in spring 2020. Schools using programs that failed the state’s review would have to replace them, state officials said then, and several times since. But now, the message is changing. SEE READING, P3

Castle Pines taking council applications Candidate will fill District 3 seat vacated by Engerman STAFF REPORT

Now that Castle Pines District 3 City Councilmember Tracy Engerman has been elected mayor, her seat will need to be filled. Engerman, who still had two years remaining on her District 3 term, will be sworn in as mayor, leaving the city in search of someone to fill her seat. Engerman beat incumbent Mayor Tera Radloff in the Nov. 2 election. Instead of holding a special election, on Nov. 16 the city posted a notice for interested District 3 residents to consider applying for the position to finish Engerman’s term. In the notice, the city said the council will start interviewing interested applicants in January to fill the vacant seat. Not just anyone can apply for

Education department officials say even though state reviewers rejected ReadyGEN, schools can keep using it because it passed the part of the state review focused on whether it was scientifically or evidence-based — the criteria specified in the 2019 law — despite having other flaws. “We did hear from districts that said, ‘Your own review process found this to be meeting scientifically or evidence-based standards,’” Colsman said. Lindsay Drakos, a co-chair of the statewide dyslexia advocacy .group COKID, said by email that the state’s shifting stance on ReadyGEN dilutes the state’s reading law and could open the door for schools to use other rejected programs. “If a curriculum is reviewed and rejected, then I believe that is that — it shouldn’t be used in schools in Colorado,” she said. Colsman said the state’s reversal on ReadyGEN points to “the realities of policy implementation because as we got into actually reviewing what districts were using, you realize that not everything fits into a neat bucket.” Reviewers of ReadyGEN said the program met key standards for science-based reading instruction, but they noted it doesn’t thoroughly cover all foundational skills. They recommended teachers compensate for these shortcomings by using the company’s intervention lessons, a supplement designed for struggling readers, for all students. Education department officials said the intervention lessons must be purchased separately and that while the state can encourage schools to buy and use those lessons, they can’t require it. ReadyGEN also

Become a Chalkbeat sponsor In Denver, the state’s largest district, many schools use staterejected curriculum, with the most common ones being the 2018 version of Benchmark Advance and Benchmark Adelante, the program’s Spanish version. Meredith Stolte, the district’s director of humanities, said during Thursday’s literacy event that she’s seen a big difference in reading instruction in the pilot classrooms. “When children engage in the explicit and systematic way of learning to read, the light in them is completely different because ... they can understand and it’s not a guessing game,” she said, “which, to be honest, is some of what exists in older curriculum like Benchmark.” Parent Priscila Ramirez, who also spoke at the literacy event, described the frustration she felt about the reading instruction her son, now a fourth-grader, received in Denver. “Unfortunately, after many years and different schools we saw that he wasn’t learning,” she said. “He wasn’t learning because the learning system or the curriculum that is followed in most schools is not functional for children with dyslexia.” If districts don’t submit a plan to switch from subpar reading curriculum by the state’s Jan. 17 deadline, Colsman said the department will send reminders. If that doesn’t work, the department could lower districts’ accreditation rating. “We want to avoid that as as much as possible because ... it’s a blunt instrument,” she said.

Sky’s the limit for Sky Ridge robots Hospital’s high-tech surgery program expanding BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Already serving as one of the state’s leaders in robot-assisted surgery, Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree is making a major investment in the future by building a special robotics unit. Construction in the Lone Tree hospital’s Evergreen building is currently underway for an outpatient robotic surgery center covering more than 26,000 square feet, slated to open in 2022. Sky Ridge CEO Kirk McCarty said robot-assisted surgery allows doctors to perform a variety of procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is usually associated with minimally invasive surgery, which can be performed through tiny incisions. In a robot-assisted procedure, surgeons operate on patients using a camera arm and mechanical arms that have surgical instruments attached to them. The surgeon controls the arms while seated at a computer console near the operating table. Through the technology, the surgeon has a view through a high definition, magnified, 3D lens. Sky Ridge Vice President of

Crews work to build the new facility at Sky Ridge Medical Center.

Operation Will Bertram said the $20 million expansion will have four operating rooms, eight pre-op rooms and six recovery rooms. In the new department, surgeons will focus on specialty procedures in gynecology, bariatrics and urology. Bertram said the new department is being built directly next to the gy-

necology department because of the number of procedures being done for women. Robotic technology has emerged in the last decade to treat issues with the female reproductive system, Bertram said. The robots are able to more precisely remove tumors and address issues with less complications, he said. Jeff James, a gynecological oncologist at Sky Ridge, said robotics in surgery has continually evolved over the last decade, noting that the ease of use, decrease of set-up time and patient success are all good reasons for the hospital to expand the program. “Currently, one of the problems is availability,” James said. “With the equipment we have now, we have to schedule surgeons and patients and make sure the robots are available. That is because they create the ability for far more efficiency and better-quality services for the patient.” In the past, James said preparing for a robotic-assisted surgery could take more than an hour to put the machine together. Now, with the

equipment currently used at Sky Ridge and the future expansion, surgery prep takes around 10 minutes. In gynecological procedures, James said the advanced robots allow easier access for specialized procedures and with the smart technology on the computer, the robot can correct a surgeon’s hand movements quickly, rotating from left to right or right to left as needed, James said. McCarty said in looking at where healthcare is headed, it makes sense to expand an area where technology allows surgeons to be more precise, cuts down on recovery time, allows patients to be sent home sooner and has less risk of complications. “It allows us to take on a special niche to drive the positive outcome for patients,” McCarty said. “Sky Ridge is quickly becoming one of the busiest hospitals for robotic procedures in Colorado. We want to become a regional service center offering these procedures. This expansion will allow us to have the largest fleet of robots in the Rocky Mountain region.” The need for robot-assisted procedures has steadily increased at Sky Ridge, Bertram said. After using one robot for several years, he said, the hospital invested in six more machines in 2015. As information about robotics has become more readily available, Bertram said people are seeking out facilities that offer the technologically advanced services. Sky Ridge has not only treated patients from across the entire Front Range, but also statewide and from neighboring states, he said. When robot-assisted surgeries started in 2013, Bertram said, Sky Ridge surgeons performed 250 procedures. In 2021, Sky Ridge will do 1,300 robot-assisted procedures, he said. McCarty said Sky Ridge administrators would never have started discussing the expansion concepts and designs of the new center in 2018 if it were not for the “exceptional” surgeons working at the hospital. “All the robots and pretty space would mean nothing without the great surgeons we have here,” he said. “We have a rock star staff taking care of our patients.”

School district poised to acquire former Wildlife Experience Benefits touted, but some complain the deal feels rushed BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District is taking steps to acquire a complex along Lincoln Boulevard that was formerly The Wildlife Experience museum, and later a University of Colorado campus, with hopes of using the property for a long list of district programming and uses. District staff have touted the proposal as a can’t-miss opportunity to forge new partnerships with higher education institutions, provide significantly more career and technical education to students and help students gain access to major industries in the area. The 175,000-square-foot space could also be used for central administration office space, event space, professional development for teachers and other uses, staff said. If the deal goes through, the facility could be up and running with DCSD programs by 2023. The Wildlife Experience, between Lone Tree and Parker, was established in 2002 as a natural-history museum, theater complex and events venue by David and Gail Liniger, who founded the real estate

company Re/Max. In 2014 the complex was donated by the Liniger family to CU for use as a campus known as University of Colorado South Denver. The gift at the time was valued at $40 million. In September 2020, CU announced the site would be sold and that classes would no longer be held there after mid-2021. The site went on the market around February 2021. At that time, the district submitted a letter of intent to purchase the site, but CU declined it. In July the Liniger family stepped in. Now CU is preparing to sell the facility back to the Linigers, who are then expected to sell to the district.

The anticipated closing date is Dec. 15. The estimated cost for DCSD to purchase the site is $10.3 million. The district would plan to make another $25 million in tenant finishes through a phased-in project. The investigatory period for any due diligence by the district ends Dec. 8. If the district does not issue a “notice to proceed” by that time, the seller could withdraw, DCSD general counsel Mary Kay Klimesh said. ‘An investment for our students’ Danny Winsor, the district’s executive director of schools for the Parker region and choice programming, has made passionate pitches to the board of education about the potential to provide students with CTE, such as nursing, culinary or robotics courses. “This is an investment for our students,” Winsor said. The school board held a special meeting about the property acquisition on Nov. 17 at the request of staff. Directors passed a resolution in a 6-1 vote that will allow district staff to continue preparing contracts required for DCSD to use the building. The resolution also authorizes the superintendent to proceed with acquiring the property, although it only authorizes him to do so and does not direct him to. Director Kevin Leung voted against the motion because he said the agenda item should be tabled until Nov. 29 when four new board directors are sworn in following the Nov. 2 election. “I truly feel that the election has consequence and we do have four new board members coming in who deserve deliberation,” he said. Directors discussed the pending transition of board members and clarified the new board could choose to cancel the deal if it saw red flags with the project. A couple people who gave public comments called the project an exciting opportunity for students and a no-brainer for the district, including a member of the district’s long range planning committee who said he spoke as one individual. Still, the timing of the project drew scrutiny, as some people who spoke during public comment said the deal felt shrouded in secrecy and rushed through. Liz Wagner called the deal

COURTESY FILE PHOTO

“sneaky” and raised concerns about the condition of the property, citing past assessments from previous sales that fell through. “Your legacy rests in your hands today,” she said.

‘Looked at every crack’ Mike Peterson, who will be sworn in as a board director on Nov. 29, said the project lacked transparency and that the public was given little time to absorb the information provided by the district. He worried that confusion within the public could lead to trust issues that will make passing a mill levy override for teacher pay more difficult. He asked that the superintendent not issue a notice to proceed until the new board is seated. Superintendent Corey Wise said the project feels fast-tracked because the timeline is dictated by the real estate transaction between CU and the Liniger family, not the district. At the past two board meetings, staff recommended that the school district pause plans to build an innovation center and alternative education high school from the ground up. Those plans had been laid out in a bond and mill levy override passed in 2018. During the pandemic, costs and inflation surged and the project was projected to go over budget by millions, said Rich Cosgrove, the chief operations officer. The heightened cost of building a facility would have cut down the number of CTE programs the district could offer at the site, staff said. Chief Financial Officer Kate Kotaska said acquiring the CU South Denver facility would not cost any additional funds besides what had been allocated in the bond and mill levy override. Any increase to operational costs, estimated at about $1.4 million, could be covered by leasing space, event fees and other revenue streams, she said. “I am absolutely confident that we would be able to offset those operational costs,” she said. Cosgrove also responded to concerns that the facility is in poor shape and a bad deal. He said there are not structural issues with the site, and fixes the district has identified are minor. “We’ve literally looked at every crack,” Cosgrove said.

County plans largest-ever property tax break for next year Cut that would occur in 2022 is set to be approved on Dec. 14 BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County residents will likely see a reduction in the mill levy rate used to calculate their property taxes next year — assuming that the county commissioners approves the planned cut in early December. The tax break would result in the county not collecting about $10 million from residents. “After months of analysis we were able to conclude that we could maintain county service levels, give our property owners 1.25 mill

credit on their property taxes and still plan for a generous contingency for the new county health department in the event we see Tri-County Health dissolve as a regional health district,” said Commissioner George Teal. While the county recently formed its own health department, it contracts with Tri-County for almost all its public health services. This is the largest temporary property tax cut in the county’s history, said Martha Marshall, the county’s budget director. The break is possible because of an increase in home values during the value reassessments from 2020, which won’t be collected until next year. It’s also because of the county keeping expenses low, Marshall said. “I think it’s really our philosophy and how we approach budgeting,” she said.

Next year’s budget, which would include the tax break, is set to be approved during a Dec. 14 business meeting. While the mill levy would be reduced if approved, the overall budget is still growing, Marshall said. This cut won’t have any impact on county services, she said. Commissioner Abe Laydon said the county’s lack of debt was a factor in moving forward with the tax break. “A lot of governments will generate more revenues on the backs of property owners and even though they may be in situations where revenue is up, they continue to allow the mill levy to go up as well,” he said. “We really do believe in having a balanced budget and not spending money that we don’t have.” Mill levies are multiplied by the

state’s assessment rates and the home’s value to calculate taxes on properties. While the county normally collects property taxes with a rate of 18.774 mills, this move would result in a 17.524 rate next year, a 1.25 reduction. That means that for a $600,000 residential property, the home owner will save $54. In other words, for every $100,000 in value, there is $9 in credit. For commercial properties, there is a $36 credit for every $100,000 of value because of a different state assessment rate. This isn’t the first time the county has given a property tax break. In 2021, 2020 and 2017 the county provided breaks of half a mill. More information is available on the county’s budget by visiting douglas.co.us/budget or douglas. co.us/budget-books.

should not be hurt because of one person complaining. When one resident asked how the county can enforce such codes, Zoning Compliance Manager Michael Cairy said officials only investigate when they get a complaint. A Highlands Ranch resident said she was forced to close down her yoga business in 2019 after her neighbor complained. The resident said the current process is like the “Wild West,” with no clear way to apply and follow any rules. Teal said the regulations need

to be reviewed to find a balance to help business owners who are working from home. Assistant Director of Planning Steve Koster said the county regulations have been established to follow zoning codes. In reviewing home-based business prospects, Koster said the county looks at what the business is, property zoning, whether it will impact neighbors and traffic and whether it will affect the exterior look of the home. Commissioner Lora Thomas said the codes can be reviewed but reminded the public that a balance is needed because there have been cases where a home-based busi-

ness is a nuisance. Using an example from Highlands Ranch, Thomas said a home-based businessman was a contractor with a lot of trucks and equipment being parked in the street and causing an accident and other problems for neighbors. Koster and Cairy said county staff will try to work with businesses to meet code or give them time to relocate a business if required. After the back-and-forth discussion, Commissioner Abe Laydon said this is the beginning of the conversation and not the end, noting that more community meetings and discussions will be held.

American Legion finds success through comedy Special fundraiser brings in $8,700 for student scholarships BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After raising more than $8,700 at a special comedy show in September, the Highlands Ranch American Legion Post 1260 donated funds for student scholarships on Nov. 6. In a special presentation with the Highlands Ranch Community Association (HRCA), the Legion donated $1,200 to go toward local students working to further their education. Post President Joe Langran said during the Nov. 6 presentation that members also gave a plaque of appreciation to the HRCA for what the organization did in helping them host a special fundraiser in September. Langran said the HRCA allowed the American Legion to use a recreation center free of charge to host a comedy show fundraiser that featured five comedians, including Legion member Eddie Schroback of Highlands Ranch. Schroback thought of the idea for the show, coordinated with the HRCA, recruited talent and produced the event that featured headliners John Novaosad, Nancy Norton, Lisa Lane, Jacob Rupp and Schroback.

Headliner Nancy Norton performed along with five other comedians for a special American Legion fundraiser.

Schroback, an Army veteran, said he served 50 years ago in a unit where some soldiers stayed in Washington, D.C. while others were deployed to Vietnam. While Schroback stayed in Washington, he said many of his fellow unit members went to Vietnam and never returned. Over the next 50 years, Schroback said, he really did not do a lot to give back to the military or work with veterans or soldiers. When he was recruited to serve on the Highlands Ranch American Legion unit, Schroback said he started looking at how he can give back and make an impact. A comedian himself, Schroback said he went to the American Legion membership with the idea of hosting the comedy show. “I felt like this could be my way to

do something real,” Schroback said. After the event, Schroback said he never thought the show would be such a success. The inaugural fundraiser earned more than $8,700. With that kind of success, Schroback said, the post is already taking steps to make it an annual event. In an announcement to Legion members, Langran said the special event was the “single highest producing fundraiser in the history of the Post.” Langran said a majority of the funds will be donated to programs helping homeless veterans. Through

partnering with local VA programs, Langran said, veterans who are homeless and struggling with PTSD can get assistance in finding housing, paying security deposits and receiving assistance to get back on their feet. The American Legion also donates funding to COTA (Children’s Organ Transplant Association), Langran said. Langran, who missed the Sept. 25 show, said he looks forward to seeing Schroback live at next year’s event, noting that he is as funny as advertised.

VOICES

It all starts with the attitude of gratitude

ach day brings us an opportunity to look upon the world in awe and wonder. Depending on where we live, travel to, or vacation, we have opportunities to see and experience some amazing sights. MountainWINNING tops are once again covered WORDS in snow against a bright blue sky. The fall foliage seems to have come alive this year with greater vibrance and the flowing of a river or creek carrying the fallen crimson, orange and yellow leaves. The magnificence of a sunrise as it enters the sky and lls our day with hope. The Michael Norton fi calming sunset that reflects all the events and beauty of our day. A Caribbean Sea caressed by the breeze singing a song through the palm trees. A rolling ocean as the waves crash upon the sandy beach and rocky shore. Even if we do not get to experience these beautiful sights and sounds firsthand every day, with social media, we still have the chance to appreciate them through the posted photos and videos online. Or when friends or family share with us a picture of their surroundings or “current situation.” And when they do, it lifts our spirit and feeds our attitude of gratitude. Some of us may not get to see nature’s wonders and God’s paintbrush as often as

others, but we all get to experience something even more beautiful, more awesome and more tremendously amazing, we get to see one another. And even more than the beauty that surrounds and inspires us, there are everyday people of all ages who bring us to tears of joy as we watch and listen to all they contribute to this world. It is even more special when they do not even know that we are paying attention to them. These folks fill our spirit, pouring into our own attitude of gratitude. The smile and laughter of a young boy playing with his puppy. The look of awe and wonder on a young girl as she watches a ballerina perform live on stage. The belly laughs of a grandfather as he tells his favorite stories from yesterday. The scent of mom’s holiday cooking filling the apartment and home with the love. God’s greatest creation, His most beautiful works, can be seen by simply looking at those around us in any given moment. And then there are the people who really inspire us, the givers, doers, and those who humble us with their servant’s heart. One of the greatest joys this world can offer us is the opportunity to serve others. All too often we look to be served, and if the service isn’t up to our standards, takes too long, or perhaps doesn’t happen at all, we get upset. We are put out. And then, as if perfectly timed, we are humbled as we watch as someone else serves a homeless person, volunteers at a shelter, donates their time and money, and

smiles lovingly through it all. That is awe and wonder, and that refills our attitude of gratitude. Sometimes we are simply watching passively at the beauty that surrounds us. And other times we are an active participant in this life, engaged in the creation and in the doing, living in the experiences and sharing each moment. We appreciate every sight, sound smell, smile, gift, breath, hug, call, text, card, message, and words of hope and encouragement that fill the atmosphere all around us. Our attitude of gratitude is so strong we want to share it with everyone. Here, during this week of Thanksgiving, let’s remember that during the chaos and confusion, disruption and doubts, that there is still so very much to be grateful for. The joys found in the littlest and simplest things. The awe and wonder found on the faces of children of all ages. God’s paintbrush that colors the sky, the mountains, the oceans and the desert. What fills your attitude of gratitude this week? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we recognize and appreciate the beautiful blessings that surround us, 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.

Finding gratitude, even in these times

ot sure about you, but it doesn’t really feel like Thanksgiving time to me right now. It’s usually my favorite holiday — full of gratitude, lots of comfort food, and beloved family rituals. GUEST But this year is different, and I need to pick my chin up off the COLUMN floor and muster up the will to find the blessings around me. Yes, I say “the will” because I’m fully aware that I am in choice of how I respond to what’s going on in the world, my family relationships, and especially, within myself. I see harm and trauma all around this planet on many levels, Linda Newell and that’s only the harm I can see, not to mention what I can’t. In our own Colorado community, we can all see the rising human and economic costs of COVID-19 raging in our state right now, leaving many Coloradans with long-haulers’ health issues, losing loved ones, or losing their lives themselves. And now in my own family, it’s one of the most complicated times we’ve ever experienced with both celebrations and conflicts abounding.

I’m usually a cheerleader for the holidays and full of appreciation even amidst the endless commercialism or false narratives about the original Thanksgiving or Christmas. But now? Ugh. It’s hard to even think about getting a turkey or making my favorite pumpkin pie. So, as these uncharacteristically depressing thoughts have crept in (and stayed), I’ve stopped. I mean, I have literally stopped today. I’ve had to stop everything I’m doing just for this afternoon; canceled my Zoom calls, put a hold on my work tasks, and phone calls. I realized I needed to re-engage with myself inwardly, reflecting and listening to that still, small voice within for some guidance. Here’s what I got. It’s a blustery day with wind whipping through the trees and around my house. Even my cat couldn’t stay outside for more than a few minutes. But I’m safe with a roof over my head, food in the fridge, and enough money in my bank account to pay the bills this month. I’ve got family and friends who love me and who would show up for me in a heartbeat if I needed them. And above all, I’m alive!! Yes, there’s conflict, illness and death spinning around me, but I’m alive. All of that is just stuff and actu-

ally, a part of life, right? I’m so darn lucky that I’m not in harm’s way. Sure, I have my own health and money issues sometimes, but I’m alive enough to feel the wind and sun on my face and my stomach full after eating my lunch. How can I be anything else but grateful? I’m not saying I should pretend that everything is perfect and rosy. We all need to acknowledge our emotions no matter what they feel like. And sometimes, we just need to sit in the mess. But maybe those of us who are lucky enough to have homes, food, and community need to get a grip and get on the gratitude train so that we can get out of our collective funk and help others who are less fortunate. As for me, I’m sitting in the mess (for a bit) and then finding that train. Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

SOLUTIONS FROM PAGE 1

state of emergency due to a rise in youth suicide attempts and emergency rooms filling up with young psychiatric patients awaiting proper treatment. The most recent roundtable, held virtually Nov. 16, continued discussions about the growing crisis, and this time, the Aurora-based hospital system — with campuses in Highlands Ranch and Broomfield and facilities across metro Denver — came equipped with solutions, as it unveiled its “Children and Youth Mental Health Playbook.” In creating the playbook, Children’s collaborated with Healthier Colorado, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Colorado Education Association, Partners for Children’s Mental Health and Colorado Association for School-Based Health Care. Jake Williams, executive director of Healthier Colorado, said suicide should not be the leading cause of death for children. Healthier Colorado is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that says it is dedicated to raising the voices of Coloradans in the public policy process to improve the health of the state’s residents. Williams, along with a panel of speakers at the Nov. 16 forum, said local, state and federal lawmakers have to step up to address the growing mental health crisis that has only been exacerbated by the pandemic. According to the playbook, like many states, Colorado has a severe shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologist, leading to access-to-care gaps for children and youth. The playbook estimates that only 22% of youth who have mental illness with severe impairments are receiving care. Jim Weigand, a Jefferson County father of seven, participated in the discussions, sharing a story about his adopted daughter who has struggled with mental health. Wiegand said that to get the right care for his daughter, his family had to look outside of Colorado, placing her at a facility in Georgia. Wiegand said the Georgia facility helped his daughter over 15 months, putting a strain on the family to travel to see her with the added obstacles created by the pandemic. Wiegand said his daughter is home now and doing well but stressed how frustrating it has been to get help in Colorado. Weigand said he is lucky that his family has the means to take the steps they did, noting that he has friends in similar situations where their children are not getting proper assistance. Dr. Sophie Meharena, of Every Child Pediatrics, a chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said the system is getting overwhelmed. Meharena described one Friday afternoon where four of her 16 patients told her they were having suicidal thoughts. Meharena said parents are overwhelmed in not knowing what to do and the industry is overwhelmed because it does not have the facilities, resources or workforce to address the continually growing number of patients in need of mental health intervention. “Without coordinated and consis-

Clinics, a member of the Colorado Association of School-Based Health Clinics — said a shortage of trained psychologists and staff is a major problem in rural communities. Zaslow said having the ability to speak to qualified professionals without having to drive to Aurora would help get help to the young people struggling beyond the Front Range.

Dr. Jenna Glover, a Children’s clinical psychologist, said the playbook the panel is introducing offers tangible information that will show lawmakers how they can begin to repair a broken system. Glover and members of the panel are urging the public to push lawmakers at all levels to start making mental health care for youth a priority.

tent resources and access for all, we cannot have a sustainable system,” Meharena said. “Getting the mechanics right is key to a sustainable system to address the needs in Colorado. Investing in children’s mental health is investing in this country’s future.” In presenting solutions to the problem, the playbook points to local policy changes that should include more federal funding with a local impact and more local infrastructure for sustainable funding. The panel pointed to the funds coming from the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 where millions have been earmarked for states to use for mental health. Panel members are asking Colorado lawmakers to designate one third, or $150 million, of all the funds to youth mental health. The state got $450 million from the American Rescue Plan. Williams said this is a fair amount to ask for given that Colorado youth and young adults under the age of 24 make up 31% of the state’s population. Zach Zaslow, director of government affairs at Children’s, said funding cannot stop with the American Rescue Plan. For actual changes in Colorado, Zaslow said lawmakers at the state and federal levels must commit to fixing the crisis by creating sustainable programs and funding beyond 2021. By creating the sustainable programs, Zaslow said children and youth will be able to get the care they need before a crisis. Meharena said part of the problem is the system is designed to be reactive rather than proactive. As part of the solution, the multiagency playbook calls for state policies to prioritize children and youth mental health through continued federal funding investments and to make sure the new Behavioral Health Administration is child focused. Other solutions addressed by the panel include pushing lawmakers to change how the health care system separates physical and mental health. Currently, CHC Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Brumbaugh said the way insurance companies manage mental health makes it hard for families to afford proper care. Creating more virtual options for rural communities is also a solution, Zaslow said. Rebecca Doughty -- program director of Four Corners Youth

How local artists help to define metro area’s beer scene BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

itting in the studio of Noelle Phares, a 35-year-old artist based in Lakewood, a collection of seasonal beers from the Colfax microbrewery West Fax Brewing can be seen adorning her shelves. Phares, who studied environmental science before becoming a fulltime artist, picks up a large can of the brewery’s brut IPA, a seasonal summertime favorite, and explains the meaning behind the salmon pink sky and purple mountains depicted on its label in watercolor brushstrokes. “This was a painting of an Alaskan landscape,” she said. “I wanted to highlight how unique the lighting is in a place that’s super snowy, especially around sunset time when you get really crazy colors and the whole landscape glows.” It is just one of several painting by Phares that were featured on the cans of West Fax’s Summer Artist Series in 2018. As Denver’s beer scene continues to grow, many breweries find themselves tapping local artists like Phares to compliment their products. “There’s been a long-standing symbiotic relationship between art and craft beer,” said Jack Buffington, a research professor at the University of Denver with more than 20 years of experience in the beer industry. “(Breweries) try to emphasize that, instead of being produced in some big factory, it’s being made by hand.” These small-scale beer makers -- usually referred to as micro or nano-breweries depending on the size of their batches and breadth of their distribution -- have found identity through local artists, helping them stand out from a sea of competition. But, more so than just boosting sales, Buffington said the art is about building community. “There’s so many big brands that exist in the world. … Everyone likes when you support local people. I think that’s a fantastic expression of culture.” For artists, it presents a unique opportunity for exposure. Ken Sarafin, a Denver-based digital artist, said Colorado’s capital has always had a lively art and beer scene. But it wasn’t until smaller breweries became more abundant that Sarafin said he noticed a shift from larger design firms to local artists when it came to the art on a can. “The breweries are offering a fantastic avenue for exposure for local artists,” he said. “That scene didn’t really exist before the craft beers.” Sarafin partnered last year with Resolute Brewing, with locations

in Centennial and Arvada, to design three cans for their new sour, lager and IPA. The cans’ labels are reminiscent of famous artists, such as the spiral sky of the IPA that evokes Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, or the Monet-style impressionism of the brewery’s lager. “It’s really cool to be part of the culture,” he said. “(Breweries) are almost developing their own niche art scene.

Sculpture of soaring swallows is winner Michelle Lamb artwork takes top award at ‘Own an Original’ BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“‘Together Again.’ Whether to laugh with one another, empathize, or mourn, being together is integral to society and humanity. It strengthens our common bonds and lets us feel supported and part of a greater purpose.” That was the thematic pitch when Littleton’s Fine Arts Board sought entries for the 56th “Own an Original” exhibition, which runs through the end of the year at the free-admission Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St. Versatile Littleton artist Michelle Lamb was awarded Best of Show for her mixed media metal sculpture, “Global Murmuration,” which is displayed at the gallery entrance. Lamb is well-recognized locally for her mural that graces the rear wall of the Littleton Downtown Light Rail Station. She is also a member of CORE New Art Space in Lakewood. Murmuration is defined as “the

about the impact it could have on art history.” And as the beer scene booms, breweries find themselves marketing to more experimental drinkers, according to Buffington. “The marketing of beer had to be a lot more precise as opposed to a focus around (brand) loyalty,” he said, adding that compared to bigger brands, consumers see a “much more artistic presentation of the can,” from local brewers. Stacy McMahan, who lives in downtown Denver, knows this firsthand. McMahan, 32, began her career as a product designer at Copper Kettle Brewing Company in Aurora where she ran social media and

served as a photographer for the brewery. This led her to discover her passion for design and she went on to work for Four Noses Brewery in Broomfield where she did work on more than 50 beer cans. Most recently, McMahan designed and photographed for New Image Brewing in Arvada. Each brewery has its own style and target audience giving artists like McMahan the chance to try something new. “New Image was a fun project because it really forced me out of my comfort zone,” she said. “They have a different sense of branding than what I’m used to, so that was fun to flex a different muscle.” Reward is also found in seeing an artistic design move from McMahan’s computer screen, where she creates her work digitally, to being grasped in the palm’s of people’s

hands as they enjoy a beer. “You would always see (the art) in all these different situations with all these different people from different walks of life,” McMahan said. “Which is kind of the heart of beer in itself, to build community. It’s really cool to see that your label is now a part of that community.” “People are looking for more connection from brands,” she continued. “Sometimes art is the best way to connect with people. It’s all about crafting an experience.” Beyond just taprooms and liquor stores, McMahan said she has seen her beer designs in a host of settings, from the mountains of Colorado to the base camp of Mount Everest. The compact nature of a beer can grants local artists a chance to see their work in places they never would have imagined, said Phares,

Piano wire reiterates swooping too ...” The exhibit includes 40 pieces by 36 artists and includes a variety of fine arts techniques, excluding photography (a separate photography show opens early next year). The juror was Catherine Chauvin, an associate professor at the University of Denver, who teaches drawing, common curriculum and all forms of printmaking. Chauvin commented in brief remarks to a crowd at the exhibit that she’d personally made more art during the downtime we have all experienced. Her head was “in her art — not in the sand.” Lamb, an assemblage artist, said her metal wall hanging, which measures 20 by 24 inches, includes brass birds and copper roof flashing — the latter bought in a roll. The brass birds were originally smooth-textured and she engraved feathers and lines with a Dremel tool, reshaping the heads. “On the meridian of the globe, I used the bass string of a piano, which also swirls in and out as birds swirl.” The sheet of copper flashing is filled with images of flying birds — swallows as well, so a viewer SEE SCULPTURE, P19

the Lakewood artist who worked for West Fax. “What I love about the beer can thing is people bring beers in their backpack when they go skiing, when they go hiking, they bring six-packs to their friends house,” she said. “They work their way into all these different environments that art maybe traditionally hasn’t been in. I found it really fun to see my artwork that’s of these wild places actually out in some of these places that they were inspired by, because that didn’t happen very often for me.” As customers continue to browse the local beer section of their nearby liquor store, they’re likely to be met with a growing gallery of art. Phares said it adds a new dimension to how they will choose their next drink. “It’s like the new phase of judging a book by its cover,” she said.

Heritage gymnast takes two individual state titles Kate Bryant wins vault, floor exercise competitions in meet at Thornton BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Heritage High School’s Kate Bryant is a state champion gymnast who is also an entertaining dancer. Bryant, a junior at the Littleton school who was third in the all around on Nov. 4, won two Class 5A individual state championships on the final day of the three-day state meet on Nov. 6 at Thornton High School. She won the vault competition with a 9.9 and she also was the champion in floor exercise with a 9.775 score. Heritage coach Andrea Schmidt said Bryant is a talented and dedicated gymnast. “Kate has such a positive attitude and a great spirit,” said Schmidt. “She is quiet but will often make her teammates and coaches smile by dancing before her routines.” Bryant says dancing helps her relax. “I started dancing during meets a couple years ago,” Bryant tells Colorado Community Media. “I really struggled with competing, and dancing kind of just took some of the seriousness out of an extremely nerve-racking sport. Surprisingly, it improves my focus.” Bryant said she usually does

macarena, sprinkler or shake dance moves. “It quickly caught on with the team and it’s easy to see how much fun we have when we are on the competition floor,” she said. “We dance during the meets to have the best routines we possibly can. It’s just our thing.” She didn’t dance on the way to the podium after her two individual title winning performances, which were

the first titles for the Heritage co-op team since 1982. “I did pretty good,” she admitted. “I just had fun, that was the main thing. Honestly I was just glad the meet was over because it was really fun but it was really stressful, because once it was over it was a release and we could celebrate as a team.” Her dancing translates into good gymnastic performances. “I basically had to tell myself at

the state meet not to over think it too much because that’s when I start to get really mental,” said Bryant. “That’s part of the reason why I dance. Whatever happens, happens. I try to do my absolute best. “Thinking isn’t bad but I have to trust that I know what to do and I just have to let my body take over. Basically my goal is to make it (performance) 1 percent better than last time.’

Practices launch winter sports seasons Prep football teams still heading into tournament time BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With the football season still ongoing with semifinal games set for Nov. 27, the high school winter sports seasons began with practices on Nov. 15. However, for Valor Christian in Highlands Ranch, that means the boys and girls basketball teams will have to be flexible because of damage to the gym floor due to a boiler leak. Also in Highlands Ranch, the gym floors at Rock Canyon and Highlands Ranch high schools were impaired in the summer when a heavy rainstorm coupled with roof repairs resulted in damage. The repairs have been completed at both schools and the gyms are in full operational mode. Rock Canyon’s girls volleyball team did not host a home match all season. Highlands Ranch’s volleyball team had a home match to end

the regular season and got to host a regional tournament. Highlands Ranch entertained Rock Canyon in the final regular season volleyball match and both teams celebrated senior night. “Unfortunately our gym flooded a few weeks ago and caused quite a bit of damage,” said Valor sports information manager Paige Stingley. “We’ve had to get creative in our efforts to carry on practices for our winter teams. “Wrestling will continue to practice in the wrestling room, as there was no damage from the water in there. Our boys team will be practicing at South Suburban Rec Center early in the mornings, while our girls team will alternate between having individual skill practices during student-athletes’ off periods, and holding shorter-length team practices in our small gym in the afternoons. It will certainly require us to be creative and flexible this season.” Valor Christian’s girls basketball team defeated Regis Jesuit of Aurora to win last season’s state championship. The Eagles hockey team is the defending state champs. ThunderRidge of Highlands Ranch won the 2021 boys basketball

has the sensation that the entire piece is in motion. Lamb pressed lines into the flashing, defining additional swallows and assembled the various elements. She then antiqued the piece with black paint, applied and wiped off, leaving lines of paint in the crevices. In addition to being an imaginative artist, she has become an accomplished craftsman, who figures out logistics as she creates her works in her home studio. Moira Casey, the museum’s exhibition curator, oversaw installation of the exhibit in the museum’s large gallery, as well as installation of a longer-lasting “The Secret Life of Clothes,” with items from the museum’s large collection. (More on that soon.) The First Place award in Own an Original was given to veteran local artist Barbara Veatch for “Vortex,” a mixed media work in charcoal, pastels, graphite, ink and collage. Second Place went to Emily Lamb, Michelle’s Baltimore daughter, who grew up in Littleton and still lists it as home. Her delicate sculpture, “Vacillation,” is formed with porcelain, hand-blown glass and borosilicate glass and is 10 by 7 by 5 inches, mounted on a pedestal.

Anne Feller, who won Third Place, exhibits “Passing On,” created with encaustic, collage, pen and paper. Honorable Mentions were awarded to: Scott DeWeese for “Basket of Illusion #022,” a wood vessel; Pat Isaacs for “Ravel 2,” an encaustic collage painting; and “Rain in Peacock Park” by Ashton Lacy Jones, created with hand-tinted silk screen (print) and encaustic. Members of the Littleton Fine Arts Board, as of May, were: Chair Jessica Kirk, Vice Chair Carolyn Bradish, Carol Ackerman, Molly Blakley, David Goldstein, Lance Johnson and Joni Leib. Members are appointed by the city council, which also allocates a modest budget. In the past, there have been some funds allocated for purchase and the city has accumulated a nice collection over the years, some of which is displayed in public buildings and some stored. The board also receives some funds for ongoing conservation required for the collection. No purchase money is included in the current budget. Mark Rudnicki is city council liason at present. Sources for exhibits vary — the recent “Print Renaissance” was loaned by the University of Colorado Boulder. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, public events frequently are canceled or rescheduled. Check with organizers before you go.

THIS LEGAL DESCRIPTION WAS PREPARED BY, OR UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF, MICHAEL C. CREGGER, PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYOR, COLORADO REGISTRATION NO. 22564 FOR AND ON BEHALF OF IMEG CORP ON JULY 12, 2021. PETITION FOR ANNEXATION ALEXANDER WAY TO THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO The undersigned (collectively, “Petitioner”), in accordance with Section 30(1)(b) of Article II of the Constitution of the State of Colorado (the “State Constitution”) and the Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 as set forth in Article 12, Title 31, Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended and as in effect on the submission date set forth below (the “Annexation Act”), hereby petitions the Town Council (the “Council”) of the Town of Castle Rock, Colorado (the “Town”) to annex to the Town the unincorporated territory located in the County of Douglas, State of Colorado, which property is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Annexation Property”). In support of this petition (“Petition”), Petitioner alleges that: 1. It is desirable and necessary that the Annexation Property be annexed to the Town. 2. The requirements of Section 30(1)(b) of Article II of the State Constitution and Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 of the Annexation Act exist or have been met. 3. The Petitioner comprises more than fifty percent (50%) of the landowners in the area of the Annexation Property and owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the Annexation Property, excluding public streets and alleys and any land owned by the Town. 4. The signer of this Petition is the owner of one hundred percent (l00%) of the area of the Annexation Property exclusive of public streets and alleys and any land owned by the Town. 5. Not less than one-sixth (1/6) of the perimeter of the Annexation Property is contiguous with the Town’s current municipal boundaries. 6. A community of interest exists between the Annexation Property and the Town. 7. The Annexation Property is urban or will be urbanized in the near future. 8. The Annexation Property is integrated with or is capable of being integrated with the Town. 9. The Annexation Property is not presently a part of any incorporated city, city and county, or town; nor have any proceedings been commenced for annexation of part or all of the Annexation Property to any other municipality; nor has any election for annexation of the Annexation Property or substantially the same territory to the Town been held within the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the filing of this Petition. 10. 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. In establishing the boundaries of the Annexation Property, if a portion of a platted street or alley is annexed, the entire width of said street or alley shall be included within the area annexed; and, reasonable access shall not be denied to landowners, owners of easements, or the owners of franchises, adjoining any platted street or alley to be annexed that will not be bounded on both sides by the Town. 13. In establishing the boundaries of the Annexation Property, no land which is held in identical ownership, whether consisting of a single tract or parcel of real estate or two or more contiguous tracts or parcels of real estate: (a) is being divided into separate parts or parcels without the written consent of the landowner thereof unless such tracts or parcels are separated by a dedicated street, road or other public way; or (b) comprising twenty (20) acres or more (which, together with buildings and improvements situate thereon having a valuation for assessment in excess of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for ad valorem tax purposes for the year next preceding the proposed annexation) is included in the Annexation Property without the written

consent of the landowner. 14. The legal description of the lands owned by the signer of this Petition is set forth underneath the name of such Petitioner on Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. 15. The Petitioner signed this Petition no more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date of filing. 16. Attached to this Petition as Exhibit C is the Affidavit of Circulator of this Petition that the signature hereon is the signature of the person whose name it purports to be. 17. 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.

If you were served in the State of Colorado, you must file your Response with the clerk of this Court within 21 days after this Summons is served on you to participate in this action. If you were served outside of the State of Colorado or you were served by publication, you must file your Response with the clerk of this Court within

35 days after this Summons is served on you to participate in this action. You may be required to pay a filing fee with your Response. The Response form (JDF 1420) can be found at www.courts.state.co.us by clicking on the “Self Help/Forms” tab. The Petition requests that the Court enter a Order addressing issues involving the children such as, child support, allocation of parental responsibilities, (decision-making and parenting time), attorney fees, and costs to the extent the Court has jurisdiction. Notice: Colorado Revised Statutes §14-10-123, provides that upon the filing of a Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities by the Petitioner and Co-Petitioner, or upon

personal service of the Petition and Summons on the Respondent, or upon waiver and acceptance of service by the Respondent, an automatic temporary injunction shall be in effect against both parties until the Final Order is entered, or the Petition is dismissed, or until further Order of the Court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders, an expanded automatic temporary injunction, or modification or revocation under §14-10-125, C.R.S. A request for genetic tests shall not prejudice the requesting party in matters concerning allocation of parental responsibilities pursuant to §14-10124(1.5), C.R.S. If genetic tests are not obtained prior to a legal establishment of paternity and submitted into evidence prior to the entry of the final order, the genetic tests may not be allowed into evidence at a later date.

Automatic Temporary Injunction – By Order of Colorado law, you and the other parties: 1. Are enjoined from molesting or disturbing the peace of the other party; and 2. Are restrained from removing the minor child(ren) from the state without the consent of all parties or an Order of the Court modifying the injunction; and 3. Are restrained, without at least 14 days advance notification and the written consent of all other parties or an Order of the Court, from cancelling, modifying, terminating, or allowing to lapse for nonpayment of premiums, any policy of health insurance or life insurance that provides coverage to the minor child(ren) as a beneficiary of a policy.

all of the matters above, or any related matters which come before this Court, may be decided without further notice to you.
