Conflict grows between sheriff and former second-in-command Former undersheriff sues current sheriff

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A heated conflict between the Douglas County sheriff and his former second-in-command — who is now running as a candidate to replace him — appears to be headed to the courts after a lawsuit was filed against the current leader of the sheriff’s office.

Sheriff Tony Spurlock and former Undersheriff Holly Nicholson Kluth’s feud involves a mishmash of investigations and accusations including allegations of political scheming, domestic violence and illicit deletion of personnel files.

The rivalry has come to a head now that Kluth has filed a lawsuit against Spurlock — who is termlimited — alleging he suppressed her First Amendment rights and violated employment law and internal policies when he demoted her in 2020 and fired her in 2021.

Politics at play It all began with the 2020 election for Douglas County commissioner.

In September 2020, Spurlock, a Republican, publicly endorsed Lisa Neal Graves, a Democrat, who ran unsuccessfully against Republican George Teal. Internal sheriff’s office files show that in the days that followed, the county’s Republican Party developed a plan to publish endorsements from the sheriff’s office command staff for Republican candidates, according to documents obtained by Colorado Community Media through a public records

request.

After being asked to participate in this plan, Kluth submitted a statement to the county GOP supporting conservative candidates, according to a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office investigation into the situation. She also posted that statement to her Facebook. When Spurlock learned of the plan and confronted Kluth about it, she deleted the post and withdrew her comments to the GOP. Following the internal investigation, Spurlock informed Kluth SEE SHERIFF, P8

High school students raise funds for Make-A-Wish Board splits over

alleged ultimatum to superintendent

Wish week will last until February 12

Princess Maya was the star of the show during a parade put on by hundreds of Douglas County High School students Jan. 28.

As she walked through the halls, Maya Peña, 6, smiled and waved as students cheered her name and held up signs of support.

“It really made her feel special,” her mom Teresa Peña said.

In August 2019, Maya was diagnosed with leukemia and soon after was referred to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a nationwide nonprofit that helps fulfill the wishes of children with critical illnesses. Maya’s wish is to go to Disney World.

This year, Maya is Douglas County High School’s “wish kid,” which means they will center fundraising activities around her and her wish.

FLU FROM PAGE 3

Dr. Suchitra Rao, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, said they started treating young patients with the flu dating back to October. Rao said the number of cases doctors are seeing at various Children’s Hospital clinics in Douglas, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties are on par with what the levels used to be pre-pandemic.

As of Jan. 27, Rao said Children’s Hospital has had 400 confirmed influenza cases, with 100 of them needing hospitalization.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while states like Texas and New Mexico have “very high” numbers of flu cases, Colorado is still in the “minimal” stage, meaning not many cases are currently being recorded.

Rao said flu cases started dropping again when the omicron variant of COVID-19 sparked up.

As cases of omicron increased, for some reason, flu cases again decreased, she said.

When asked what would cause the change, Rao said doctors are looking at a variety of reasons.

“The reasons why are not clear,” Rao said. “Could be people started wearing more masks with more restrictive policies in place. There are some other theories too.”

Rao said one theory that cannot yet be confirmed is that omicron ran “viral interference” to influenza.

After being nonexistent last year, the flu season is back with cases present along the SHUTTERSTOCK Front Range in December.

“The theory is that one respiratory virus takes over and others go away,” she said.

Dr. Eric Hill, a HealthOne emergency room physician at the Medical Center of Aurora, said the HealthOne network saw cases drop off as omicron came into view. However, Hill said some of that might be because hospitals are stressed and testing for COVID is a priority, which means labs were testing less for the influenza.

“The need of resource to battle omicron skyrocketed, putting a massive drain on the testing labs,” he said. “Unless it was a musthave, the flu tests were not done.

COVID really has drained the system.”

Dr. Ben Usatch, an emergency medicine physician and medical director for UCHealth Hospital Highlands Ranch, said he would argue without proof that omicron was just so much more contagious that it spread throughout the region much faster and with more force than influenza can.

Like Children’s Hospital, Hill said that before omicron, adult flu cases were comparative to the days before the COVID pandemic. However, now, doctors are not sure what to expect for the remainder of the flu season, Hill

said.

“With the expectation that omicron cases are going to start to drop, whether that means influenza has a chance to grab hold again — we don’t know,” Hill said.

Usatch said after a nonexistent flu season last year, it’s hard to even consider what to expect in the coming months.

To truly protect the community, Usatch said, getting the flu vaccine and COVID vaccine should be a priority.

“Getting these shots not only protects you, but it provides protection to your family and the community,” he said. “A virus is a virus. Some flus are more concerning than others because of the pneumonia factor. The flu season is still young and getting protected is important.”

Rao and Hill said it is not too late to get the flu shot this season, adding that it is better late than never.

Doctors say flu and COVID symptoms are similar. Anyone with symptoms, Rao said, should first be tested for COVID. After that, other diagnosis options can be explored.

Hill said a big difference between COVID and the flu is the high fever. COVID presents with a lower-level fever, while the flu causes much higher temperatures, he said.

While the flu can primarily be treated with fluid and over-thecounter medications, Usatch said anyone struggling to breathe should get to a doctor immediately.

Blue Island Oyster Bar expands to Lone Tree Restaurant serves up freshly-shucked oysters and seafood

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

WINTER AIR DUCT CLEANING SPECIALS

Attention seafood fans— a new dining locale has arrived in Lone Tree to serve up a wide array of coastal grub — and its prize offering is fresh oysters shucked on site by the thousands.

Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood is co-owned by Chris Quartuccio, who owns Blue Island Oyster Company in New York, and Denverresident Sean Huggard. Quartuccio is a shellfish diver and farmer while Huggard is a professional shucker and oyster buyer.

The business has expanded from its Cherry Creek location into Lone Tree, with an eye on the new spot’s ample parking space and saving customers in the southern suburbs a drive to Denver.

The restaurant, located at 10008 Commons St., will staff about 70 people and can seat up to 200 diners inside, plus another 50 on the patio.

Its grand opening was scheduled for Jan. 17.

The Lone Tree location strives to immerse people in a modern New

England atmosphere filled with vintage inspiration. Décor includes nautical maps that pinpoint the location of the company’s east coast operations.

Much of the oyster served up to diners are sourced from the company’s oyster farm and hatchery in Long Island, although the seafood comes from both coasts and across the globe.

“When I designed the space, I really wanted for it to be like a choose your own adventure,” Huggard said.

There’s a cocktail bar, a patio, a casual dining space near the bar, intimate booths near the back and a more formal dining area, all aimed at catering to whatever a customer’s mood of the day is.

“Front and center, a beautiful oyster bar,” Huggard said, standing in front of the restaurant’s main entrance. “They are shucked right in front of you.”

Between 30,000 and 50,000 oysters will be shucked at the Lone Tree location each week.

Huggard can passionately talk through the five oyster varieties, where the varieties originate, where they’ve been relocated and grown, the intricacies in each variety’s shell and how it all comes together to deliver different flavors.

Huggard said the restaurant isn’t just for people who love seafood.

WISH FROM PAGE 1

This is the school’s 10th year participating in the program. Last year, the school raised $35,000. This year, the goal is to reach $70,000. With the average wish costing $7,500 that would grant nearly 10 wishes, said Sarah Grosh from Make-A-Wish.

The student-led fundraiser features several events over a two-week period, including a volleyball tournament, a talent show, a 5k race and a bingo night. There will also be multiple events at local restaurants where a portion of the proceeds will go to Make-A-Wish. More information on the events, which will last through Feb. 12, is available at tinyurl.com/ DCHSwishweek.

“It’s the biggest thing we do at our school,” said Student Body Vice

President Luke Mole. “It’s just about celebrating a child with a critical illness and making it the best two weeks of their life, giving them hope, giving them something to look forward to.”

At the Jan. 28 opening assembly for Wish Week, Maya walked with her favorite princesses throughout the school as the students cheered. At the end of the parade, there was a throne for her to sit and watch performances by the students, including the singing of “A Whole New World” from Disney’s ‘Aladdin’.

Many students look forward to the Wish Week fundraiser, said Student Body President Lauren Valley.

“It’s a unique time because everyone comes together,” Valley said. “It Maya Peña watches the performances at the end of the parade on Jan. 28. seems to really bring out people’s perspectives of wanting to help the community as a whole.”

Students have been planning the Wish Week since October.

that he found her to have been in violation of several sheriff’s office policies. He also accused her of using her position to influence other members of the command staff to submit statements. Kluth denies that.

In November 2020, she was demoted because of the incident.

Then, in May 2021, Spurlock fired Kluth, who said she was given no notice or explanation of why she was being let go.

“He terminated me because I disagreed with him on my personal politics,” she told CCM. In an interview in November 2021, Spurlock said he fired Kluth because of “incredible poor ethics and bad behavior.”

Kluth filed to run for Douglas County sheriff in February of 2021 and as of Jan. 31 has raised about $13,000 more than her leading opponent, former Castle Rock police commander John Anderson, according to the secretary of state’s campaign finance website TRACER. While the election is months away, the four candidates have already begun campaigning. So far, the others running are Anderson, Daren Weekly — the captain of investigations for DCSO — and Lora Thomas, a Douglas County commissioner.

Kluth’s lawsuit against Spurlock was filed Dec. 21, 2021, and no court dates have been set. When asked for comment on the lawsuit, Spurlock said he did not have any.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock.

Alleged file deletion Soon after she was fired, Kluth hired an attorney and requested her personnel file, according to DCSO documents. That’s when Spurlock initiated a criminal investigation into Kluth for allegedly ordering the deletion of part of her personnel file that showed she was the subject of a decades-old domestic violence incident report, according to records obtained by Colorado Community Media.

Kluth claims that the investigation into the file deletion was retaliation for her pursuing a lawsuit against Spurlock related to her firing and demotion.

“It’s absolutely not true that I ordered any files to be deleted,” Kluth said in an interview with CCM. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, which was the investigating

FILE PHOTO

agency in the criminal case against Kluth regarding the file deletion, recommended in October that charges be filed against her for official misconduct. But the 18th Judicial District declined to do so, citing an expiration of the statute of limitations and an unlikely chance for success at a trial.

The deleted documents, which were recovered, date back to 1988 and include allegations from Kluth’s thenhusband that she had argued with him at their home in Park County and then grabbed a Colt .45 pistol, according to Jeffco’s investigation file obtained through a public records request.

“She pointed it at me, and stated ‘I will blow you away if you interfear (sic) with my job,’” her then-husband wrote, according to a copy of the 1988 report.

In an interview with Colorado Community Media, Kluth denied all allegations from the investigation, stating she never ordered anyone to delete anything and that the Park County incident never actually happened.

Spurlock, who told CCM he is endorsing Weekly as the next sheriff, said in November he learned about the deletion of the 1988 Park County case after Kluth was fired.

Spurlock said he believes Kluth ordered the report to be deleted because she was trying to “cover up her past so she could be the sheriff of Douglas County.”

“felony menacing” investigation and includes accounts from the responding deputy, Kluth’s then-husband and from another witness, whose name and relationship to the couple were redacted. Kluth later told CCM the other witness was her ex-husband’s mother.

The Park County report was included in the Jeffco investigative file for the Kluth deletion case.

Raymond McNamara, Kluth’s husband at the time, told the Park County Sheriff’s Office that during the argument about her job as a deputy with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, she said “`Don’t come any closer,’ `I will kill you and myself,’” according to the report.

“I pushed her and deflected the gun, she pulled the trigger and it discharged into the floor next to my leg. She started crying,” McNamara wrote.

Kluth, however, says this incident never happened and her ex-husband may have made this report because she had recently told him she was going to divorce him.

A representative from the Park County Combined Court said the office doesn’t have any record of the 1988 case. That could mean the case was never filed as a felony or, if it was filed as a misdemeanor, the case would be too old to show up in records, the representative said.

A spokesperson for the Park County Sheriff’s Office said the agency no longer has any record of this investigation and a fire and a flood had impacted their office and may have destroyed the file. However, in December 1988, the sheriff for that county sent a copy of the report to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, according to a letter included in Kluth’s file.

Kluth says she was never contacted

by Park County about the investigation.

Court records show that Kluth filed for divorce from McNamara about a month after the incident report was written.

“There’s absolutely no corroborating evidence of any kind. No followup investigation was done,” said Felipe Bohnet-Gomez, Kluth’s lawyer.

“It was a smear against Holly in 1988, and the idea that she would somehow order this destroyed for some political reason or something, it just SEE SHERIFF, P9

‘Didn’t want it to disappear’ When Kluth requested her personnel file after being fired, the internal affairs department of DCSO noticed that the 1988 report involving Kluth was no longer in the digital version of her file and began an investigation, which was eventually turned over to JCSO. When the investigators from Jeffco interviewed a hiring technician, who helped maintain the office’s personnel files, the employee said she had initially seen the 1988 domestic case involving Kluth when she scanned it into the office’s new digital system in 2016, according to the investigative file.

The custodian, Kathleen Moreland, told investigators it had stood out to her at the time because “it’s kind of something that you don’t expect to find in somebody with that high up of a position,” according to a recording of her interview obtained through a public records request.

The sheriff’s office maintains both digital and paper copies of personnel files, but when someone leaves the office, these versions are checked to ensure they mirror each other. Then, the paper copy is destroyed, Moreland told investigators.

After Kluth was fired, Moreland was checking the former undersheriff’s paper and digital files to make sure they matched when she noticed the 1988 report was no longer there,

she told investigators.

The custodian then re-scanned the report to include it in the digital version and instead of destroying the paper copy — which was the normal protocol — she held onto it.

“I just wanted to make sure that the truth was there, in case. I didn’t want it to disappear into the abyss,” Moreland said in the interview with Jeffco. “Knowing that she was going to be running for sheriff, I just wanted to make sure that the truth would be found out … information needs to be known if it can be.”

Who deleted the file?

When investigators reviewed the “audit trail” for Kluth’s file — which shows who has viewed, used or edited items in the digital system — they found that one of Kluth’s subordinates had deleted the attachment containing the 1988 report in April 2019, according to the investigative file.

In a recorded call with Jeffco deputies, retired Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Robert McMahan said Kluth had ordered him to do this, according to the recording.

“She was concerned about her hiring file,” he told investigators.

McMahan added that Kluth never threatened him to do the deleting but her “demeanor was threatening.”

“I mean you just didn’t cross her,” he said in the interview.

In an interview with Colorado Community Media, Kluth said she believes McMahan has “credibility issues” and he’s friends with the sheriff.

“I would say that he lied because it’s not true,” Kluth said.

Kluth said she hadn’t been aware the Park County report was in her personnel file. When asked why McMahan would delete something from her file, Kluth said she didn’t know.

Kluth declined to be interviewed in the Jeffco investigation, according to a letter from her attorney to the office.

“The allegations against Ms. Kluth are not just baseless — they are tainted with political retaliation, in violation of the First Amendment,” according to the letter. “They amount to an abuse of process for political ends, to which Ms. Kluth will not voluntarily subject herself.”

Are you reaching your goals?

DENIAL TO CHARGE In a letter to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office dated Oct. 25, 2021, the 18th Judicial District outlined its reasons for not filing charges in the deletion case, including the statute of limitations and insufficient evidence.

The letter, signed by Assistant District Attorney Tom Byrnes, further explained the insufficient evidence by stating that a witness in a leadership position other than Kluth knew about the conduct and didn’t report it at the time.

Second, they wrote that these actions didn’t actually erase the report because there was a hard copy available. Finally, they said that Kluth didn’t actually do the deleting and that the person who did — Robert McMahan — was acting “within the scope of his permitted network access.”

“No one gained unauthorized access to software or documents that they were not permitted to access,” according to the letter.

The difference between homemade bread and Pop-Tarts

C

olorado Community Media, which publishes 24 newspapers across the Denver metro area, started 2022 with ambitious goals and a continued focus on providing local news that matters in all of our communities.

CCM came under new ownership last year, bringing on plenty of changes. One of those changes includes me taking on FROM THE the new role as the South Metro editor, which means managing EDITOR newspapers in Douglas, Elbert and Arapahoe counties. Overseeing the entire editorial department for CCM is Lisa Schlichtman, who arrives with decades of expertise and knowledge from Steamboat Springs.

For my part, I bring to you a lengthy career specifically in community news. They always Thelma Grimes say all roads lead to home. For me, that is community journalism. I came back to Colorado six years ago after a nearly 15-year career in Arizona where I was a senior journalist and editor.

After taking somewhat of a career detour for a few years, the road home brought me back to community news with CCM. Many years ago, cowboy poet Baxter Black said local, community news when compared to mainstream media is the difference between homemade bread and Pop-Tarts.

I believe that’s not just true in community news but also in our towns and schools.

At the end of the day, it is members of your local town councils and school boards who make decisions that truly impact your day-to-day life.

They decide local taxes, laws, public safety and building regulations. While we hear and talk so much about what’s happening in Washington, D.C., it is the elected officials living in your towns that make major decisions.

That is where your local journalists matter most. It is up to the professionals who make up the CCM staff to tell you what your local council members are saying and how they are voting. It is up to us to tell you what is happening inside the board rooms at the local school district. It is up to us to look at a national issue, call local hospitals and ask — “What is happening here?”

Besides telling you about important news that will impact your life, we also want to highlight the good things that make each of our communities special.

In 2022 we want to bring you more from your local community. After two years of COVID dominating the news, taking over the world and causing distress everywhere we look, it feels a bit like the world forgot to celebrate the good news.

At CCM, we want to hear the good stories. I encourage you all to share story tips about random acts of kindness, a new business, an elementary school student putting together a community project or just a person or resident who deserves SEE THELMA, P11

A gentle answer turns away wrath

F

or every minute of anger, you give up 60 seconds of peace of mind.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

The title of this column comes from an old proverb. And it seemed such an appropriate reminder for the current state of the world we are living in today, that I wanted to share it with you. I also wanted to share something else with you. I believe in the awesome power of hope. I believe that there is more goodness in the world than bad. And I believe there are more people doing good things than bad people doing bad things. And I believe that there are far more kind and gentle people in the world than there are angry people.

Yet what seems to make the news and find its way to our social media feed and stories are the angry, violent, and hateful events that are taking place. So, it could easily make us all wonder if what I said I believe in, in the paragraph above, is true.

I was fascinated by an article I read last week about a young woman who decided to go back to a phone that can only make and receive calls and send and receive text messages. Her reasons resonated with me and mirrored some of what I wrote about in a previous column last month. The need to stop scrolling and being so preoccupied with what’s happening on our phones and being more involved with the people right in front of us.

Although I agree with her reasons about

being more present in the moment and involved in life, I also think that we are being fed so much negative information that we can’t help but fall into the trap of becoming angry, lashing out at others and saying things we normally wouldn’t say. Or we spend hours being angry and depriving ourselves of hours of finding peace of mind.

I started using this made-up Michael Norton word to describe what I see as the problem, attackusation. When I do watch the news or read online stories it is no longer about someone just attacking someone else physically or verbally, they feel compelled to attack their opinion, decision, or action and then go after them on a personal level making accusations that are most often false. And they aren’t satisfied with attacking or accusing just that person, they attack and accuse their family and friends.

Is this really what has become of our society? Let’s go back to what I said earlier that there is more goodness in the world than bad.

Andrew Carnegie said, “You expect to move tons of dirt to find an ounce of gold, but you don’t go into the mine looking for the dirt, you go in looking for the gold.” If we want to find the bad, we can find it for sure. The

OBITUARIES

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dubious about San Luis water plan Former political personalities frequently take on new life using political skills and contacts to channel public money into personal ventures. Third parties may be left holding the bag of adverse, unintended consequences.

The water proposal appears to be an overpriced, taxpayer-funded boondoggle that may drain critical aquifers in excess of a desirable recharge rate, not mentioned or disclosed. Water rights are private assets that may be bought and sold, but I have a question about the numbers.

Our household is currently allocated 164,000 gallons of water annually for inside and outside usage. An acre-foot of water is 325,851 gallons.

So, our annual water budget is about half an acre-foot. For this usage, we are currently charged $672.40, which equates to $1,335.99 per acre-foot.

conversations to take formal action against the superintendent.

Ray, Meek and Hanson were the only board directors who participated in the Jan. 31 gathering, which was held remotely. Ray said the three are “genuinely concerned that we’ve got a board that’s off the rails in terms of following not only the law” but multiple board policies.

“Our superintendent should never be blindsided with us saying that you’re not performing well,” Ray said.

The three directors alleged the decision to oust Wise was made in “backdoor meetings” among directors Mike Peterson, Christy Williams, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar, and that they were notified

by Peterson and Williams after the two asked Wise to resign.

If you have a story tip about some-

NORTON FROM PAGE 10

question is do we want to? And if we do, why? I mean some people go around looking for the bad like there is some kind of prize or reward for finding the bad.

None of us has all the answers, but I do know that I can pass along a few simple suggestions. First, turn off the sources where we are being fed the negative fuel that drives our anger. Second, focus on the good, the goodness, and the good people that are all around us.

And lastly, change our vocabulary to avoid words of anger and hate to words of love, gentleness, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness.

The article states, “After the initial investment, the purchase price for the water rights would be fixed at $18,500 per annual acre-foot, according to the proposal.” This must have been a misprint and perhaps off by a factor of 10. Why would Douglas County purchase water at over 13 times what residential customers are being charged by a local water district?

Renewable Water Resources (RWR) has a nice ring to it. We are barraged daily with all sorts of undertakings associated with the term “renewable” and misled to believe these sorts of things are at minimal financial cost and minimal physical damage to the environment and local communities. Frequently, this is just a smoke screen for not-so-pretty, real world realities.

with Peterson, Williams and Wise, a district spokeswoman said the two directors had not attended the meeting and that Wise did not immediately have comment.

Ray said the board needed to “walk back” the “unauthorized” ultimatum allegedly given to Wise. He also hoped the board would agree to hold a special meeting to further discuss Wise’s employment and management of the district. Ray suggested a performance evaluation as opposed to termination.

Peterson and Williams reportedly consulted with the board’s outside legal counsel Will Trachman about asking Wise to resign, but the board minority said they were not provided with memos or communications about those conversations.

Hanson said she was considering filing an ethics complaint against Trachman because she sees those meetings as a violation of his engagement letter with the board.

Pandemic, popular Netflix series stir interest, ire

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hile waiting out the coronavirus, it appears the world got ‘board.’

Who knew all it would take to reignite global interest in chess was a raging pandemic and unsupervised access to the internet?

No, seriously.

As public health orders canceled concerts and closed theaters and restaurants, we looked inward—and online—for ways to occupy time and connect with others.

We made masks.

We howled at the moon.

We binge-watched.

And “The Queen’s Gambit” was one of our favorites.

The Netflix miniseries, set in the 1950s and ‘60s, is a coming-ofage story of a fictional teenage chess prodigy based on the 1983 Walter Tevis novel of the same name.

It follows the life of orphan Elizabeth Harmon and her substance abuse struggle as she rises through the ranks to become a world chess champion.

It was a story we liked—a lot.

Within the first three weeks of its October 2020 debut, the sevenepisode drama had toy stores scrambling to keep chess sets on the shelves and online buyers coming up with empty carts and backorders.

Market research firm NPD Group reported unit sales of chess sets jumped 87% in the U.S., and chess book sales rose by an astronomical 603%.

“The idea that a streaming television series can have an impact on product sales is not a new one, but we are finally able to view it through the data,” said NPD toy industry advisor Juli Lennett in a November 2020 statement. “The sales of chess books and chess sets, which had previously been flat or declining for years, turned sharply up-

ward as the popular new series gained viewers.”

Online gaming platforms also saw dramatic increases in memberships and active users.

Chess.com Director of Technology at Saad Abdali said traffic to the online chess site tripled after the pandemic hit.

He published a July 20, 2021 tech blog discussing how the site handled the dramatic user surge and said that in March 2020 alone, the number of daily active users rose from 280,000 to more than 1 million.

The Queen’s Gambit accepted Tucked away in a south Denver hotel ballroom, the Denver Chess Club MLK Memorial Chess Tournament gets underway.

The room’s atmosphere is ripe with heavy sighs and a constant hum from the ventilation system.

The two-day, five-round Swiss tournament held Jan. 15-16

attracted more than 90 local players.

While 23-year-old tournament director Andrew Starr admits he is ”a little on the young side for a tournament director,” he says the turnout for the in-person event was exceptional.

Starr circles the room, observing the players—and spectators that gather to view the more exciting games.

He admits a great deal of the director’s job is reminding folks of the tournament’s strict silence policy. ”It’s expected (that spectators are) to be silent at all times,” he said. “As a tournament director, that’s my big sticking point.”

The CU grad student and Grandview High School alum said he’s pleased with the wildly popular Netflix series.

represents the chess world without making it inaccessible to general audiences,” Starr said.

And that’s important.

As Starr points out, there are many elements of chess culture that the public tends to get wrong. ”I think one of the biggest misconceptions about chess players is that they’re these bizarre, quiet recluses,” he said. “I think it’s because Bobby Fischer is the most famous American chess player, and that’s how he was.”

Lauded for his stunning 1972 World Championship win against Soviet defending champion Boris Spassky, Grand Master Robert James Fischer was also known for his eccentric and often exaggerated paranoid behavior.

Fischer made numerous anti-Semitic outbursts throughout his career, and in 1992 was indicted for ignoring an executive order from President George H.W. Bush.

The order, which imposed restrictions on relations with Yugoslavia, made Fischer’s famous rematch with is Spassky illegal, based on its location in Belgrade.

In front of the world press, Fischer spat on the presidential order and said, “This is my reply.”

Colorado Chess Hall of Famer Richard “Buck” Buchanan has been a staple in the Colorado chess community for more than 40 years. He’s organized and directed countless chess tournaments and says everybody’s a little different when it comes to chess culture. ”Basically, chess players have varied personalities as would any other group that you want to meet,” Buchanan explained. “I don’t want to generalize about the culture because that’s one of the rich things about chess. It’s part of the human experience. It’s an art form. It’s a competition. It’s fun, and it’s got room in it for all kinds of creativity, discovery and excitement.”

No longer just ‘old white guys’ In the U.S., the 1950s and ‘60s were periods of drastic contrast, so say many historians— the ‘50s being the post-World War II decade of prosperity and conformity. In comparison, the ‘60s brought about change and rebellion.

The ongoing Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union played heavily into the miniseries storyline.

It was a period when men dominated the chess scene, and only a handful of female players got the opportunity to compete professionally.

“The show framed the main character as one young girl against a bunch of old Russian men,” said Starr. ”And that’s just how it was in Fischer’s day. But now, things are a little different.”

Chess is no longer just about “old white guys,” he said, adding that the game and the

players are more diverse, vibrant and respectful now.

In his opinion, the game is also becoming much younger.

And he might be right.

Last year, Tanitoluwa “Tani” Adewumi, a 10-year-old Nigerian refugee living in New York, became America’s newest chess master at the tender age of 10, according to the U.S. Chess Federation, making him the 28th youngest person to achieve the status.

And at just 15, Cherry Creek High School students Neil Bhavikatti and Vedanth Sampath are among the highest-ranked players in Colorado.

“No discussion of chess culture would be complete without talking about women in chess,” Starr said. “I think that both evolving social norms and the impetus of ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ have propelled more girls into playing, which personally, I think is excellent, but there are some contentious issues regarding female chess players that may be worth talking about.”

One of those is the concept of women-only tournaments.

Starr supports the idea.

He says all-female tournaments may help break the ice and encourage more girls and women to give the game a try.

Another point of contention, Starr says, is the concept of separate titles for men and women.

“I know that as a man, I can’t speak for the opinions of all women, but I do join a sizable number of female chess players in saying that women’s titles are a little demeaning. Among other requirements, a grandmaster (GM) title requires a rating of 2500, whereas a woman grandmaster (WGM) only needs to obtain a rating of 2300. which, to me, carries the implication of women being weaker chess players,” he said. “While men have obviously had far more success in the chess world than women, I chalk this up to young boys being steered into chess and young girls being steered elsewhere.”

It’s complicated, Starr said, but the trend is women are starting to see more mainstream success in chess.

The Queen’s Gambit declined Born in the Soviet Union in 1941, Nona Gaprindashvili would become the first woman to be awarded the grandmaster title by the World Chess Federation.

During her career and reign as Women’s World Chess Champion, which spanned 19621978, she successfully competed against some of the strongest male players in the world.

Many of them are Russian.

Mentioned by name in “The Queen’s Gambit,” Gaprindashvili was not pleased with the series or how it portraited her.

In fact, she was pretty hot.

In September 2021, she filed a $5 million lawsuit against Netflix, citing false light invasion of privacy and defamation per se.

The 80-year-old, now living in Tbilisi, Georgia, is seeking a trial by jury.

Her suit, filed in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, centers around allegations that “Netflix brazenly and deliberately lied about Gaprindashvili’s achievements for the cheap and cynical purpose of ‘heightening the drama’ by making it appear that its fictional hero had managed to do what no other woman, including Gaprindashvili, had done.”

And that was face men at the highest levels of chess competition.

The internet as a game-changer The game of chess dates back more than 1,500 years.

Often referred to as the game of kings, chess sets have taken many forms, from rudimentary carvings to elegant and ornate masterpieces crafted from gold and silver.

Now, chess, like most everything else, can be found online.

For some players, the number of resources available makes online chess attractive.

But not to everyone.

Vedanth Sampath, who participated in the Denver Chess Club’s recent in-person tournament, said he’s not a fan of online chess, primarily because of cheating or what some players call “computer doping.”

Doping is essentially using a computer program or an application to obtain an unfair advantage during play.

Not just limited to lower-rated players, grandmasters have also been snared.

Some players have even mastered monetizing chess by live-streaming their games on platforms like Twitch.

A February 2020 article by CNBC News reports 25-year old chess master Alexandra Botez “brings in over $100,000 a year as a professional chess streamer.”

Neil Bhavikatti says popular streamers help bring new players to the board, and Twitch has positively affected the game.

“The game going online brings in such an enormous amount of people to the game,” Starr said. ”It makes it a lot easier to get good very quickly.”

So will chess over-the-board become a relic of bygone days?

It’s hard to say.

When asked what chess needs to stay relevant in the future, Buchanan said, “It just needs to be played—and it seems to be doing a pretty good job.”

‘Art of the State’ fills Arvada Center’s galleries Show that returns every three years offers intriguing array

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Art lovers will want to plan a trip to the handsome Arvada Center for the Arts at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. — or possibly more than one trip — to visit the really strong “Art of the State” exhibit, which happens only every three years and attracts a wonderful variety of creative works that illustrate so many modes of expression. There are 149 works by 142 Colorado artists exhibited in two large galleries and the exhibit runs through March 27. Admission is free, but a reservation is required due to COVID limitations on how many visitors can be in the space at a given time.

Visitors are led into the exhibit

by Jodie Roth Cooper’s “Mountain Flower,” a pair of Corten steel forms 8 1/2 feet tall, placed inside the main entrance at the base of the stairs leading to theaters. They seem to greet one and invite further looking. The spacious main floor gallery is just to the left and Deborah Jang’s mixed media assemblage sculpture, “We’re not in Kansas anymore,” stands tall to the left, past a mix of wall-hung pieces and three-dimensional works — free-standing and on shelves and pedestals. It seems to beckon one in ...

Materials range from predictable wood, clay, paint, canvas, paper, metal and more, to interesting combinations and surfaces.

Sizes and textures vary greatly and then there’s the riot of color.

Satisfies the senses!

These pieces were selected by three jurors from 2,067 submissions by 734 artists from throughout the state — a mind-blowing prospect, one would think!

Jurors were: Louise Martorano,

executive director of Red Line Contemporary Art Center; Ellamaria Ray, artist/anthropologist, professor of African Studies, Metropolitan State University of Denver; and Collin Parson, director of galleries and curator, Arvada Center.

Each brought a wide range of experience and skill to the project and spent a great deal of time looking at online images of entries — created in multiple ways and with many materials, by established artists and some new to the competition.

The Best of Show award went to wood artist Chris DeKnikker’s “Reunion,” an appealing assemblage of thin slices of various woods (cherry, holly, maple, peach, poplar, walnut), mounted on a light-colored panel, with connecting black painted lines/ shapes. Deep stain highlights the age rings in the larger pieces of wood and many of the tiny ones.

Which ones are which variety of wood? A viewer speculates about trees of origin. What forms do they take? (One really wants to run a finger across them, but refrains!)

Fine crafts are widely represented as well in “Art of the State.” The line between has pretty much disappeared these days, although I suppose there are still some naysayers who will object to combining paintings and sculptures and prints with works in clay and metal.

Photography is also included — combined with calligraphy in Kyoko Ono and Judy Anderson’s “Pareidolia 1.” Meredith Nemirov’s “Rivers Feed The Trees #463” combines acrylic paint and gouache on a historic topographic map.

Tom Mazzullo’s subtle “Twopart Invention No. 18” is drawn with silverpoint on prepared paper, while Elizabeth Morisette’s bright and busy “Viral” is created with sewn zippers-and appears ready to run off around the gallery.

“Reunion” by Chris DeKnikker, made of peach, walnut, poplar, cherry, maple and holly wood, won “Best in Show” in the Arvada Center’s “Art of the State” exhibit, running COURTESY OF WES MAGYAR PHOTOGRAPHY through March 27.

Print techniques are overlayered in Tony Ortega’s richlyhued print “La Troca Roja,” and Sangeeta Reddy exhibits “The Quiet Burn of Autumn,” a golden acrylic collage with paper, silk and repurposed rubber on canvas.

Variety is endless and each work deserves more than one look! The exhibit is beautifully arranged, with related pieces together.

IF YOU GO The Arvada Center is located at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. Before going, check gallery hours and attendance requirements. Masks are required to visit the exhibit, and proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test is required for any indoor seated gathering. Admission is free but reservations are required due to COVID attendance limitations. 720-8987200, arvadacenter.org.

SPORTS Run by Creek seals win over Arapahoe

55-51 Bruins victory puts Warriors further into deficit for season

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek’s Trevon Chambers was having an off game shooting the basketball but that didn’t stop him from taking a big shot late in the Bruins’ Centennial League boys basketball game against Arapahoe on Jan.29.

Chambers, a 6-foot-3 junior, hit a key three-point shot with 65 seconds left in the game as part of a 6-0 Creek run that secured a 55-51 win over the Warriors in a game played in the Cherry Creek gym.

“We trust Trevon,” said Cherry Creek coach Kent Dertinger.

“That was a good shot. I think he was one for seven behind the arc.

When it comes down the stretch we’re confident with him shooting the basketball.”

Chambers sparked a six-point Creek run that snapped a 49-all tie and gave the Bruins a 55-49 lead, which the Bruins held for the final 41 seconds of the game.

Chambers added a free throw to his three-point basket and had four of the six Bruins points during the decisive run that decided the game. Junior Blake Purchase had the basket that broke the tie and ignited the Creek winning run.

“I wasn’t hitting all game but I still had confidence,” said Chambers. “We needed that three to win the game so I took the shot. It was rough not hitting for a while but I

still had the confidence to hit that shot and I took it.”

Chambers had 14 points to headline the Creek scorers.

“We still have some things to clean up but all but two of the second-round league games are here, so we feel like we can have a little bit of a run,” said Dertinger, whose team is now 7-8 overall and 5-3 in the league. “Arapahoe tied it up and we didn’t wilt, we stuck

with it, and that didn’t work out for us before but we learned from it and we were able to handle that a little better.”

Senior Kyle Sweeney, who fueled a third-quarter Arapahoe comeback with 11 points, finished with 16 points in the game.

Arapahoe saw its overall record fall to 7-10 and 3-5 in the league.

“We did not have the defensive start we needed,” said Warriors’

coach Troy Pachner. “I appreciate the resiliency but that doesn’t adjust for the slow start.

“That game could have gone either way but the truth is we didn’t put ourself in a first-quarter position to win the game.

“Our team is definitely a challenge for other people. We’re going to need three or four more wins out of our remaining six to make the playoffs.”

Douglas County falls short to Rock Canyon 50-49 Tight game lives up to pre-game hype

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rock Canyon, the fourthrated basketball team in the CSHAANow.com Class 5A state poll, played sixth-ranked Douglas County in a Continental League Top Ten showdown on Jan. 26 in the Rock Canyon Jaguars’ gym.

The game lived up to the advance billing as Gavin Hershberger sank the first of two free throws with 1.3 seconds remaining in the game to give Rock Canyon a 50-49 victory.

“That’s what the Continental League is all about, games like that,” said Douglas County coach Clay Comstock. “It was a great high school environment and SEE CANYON, P19

CANYON FROM PAGE 18

Rock Canyon is a heck of a team.

It came down to the little things.

We came up a point short but we are looking forward to bouncing back.”

Seven points was the largest lead for either team in the game and there were eight ties, including the final one at 49-49 with 2:17 still to play.

After each team failed to cash in on free throws, Rock Canyon called timeout with the score tied and 20.2 seconds showing on the clock to work for a last shot.

“The only thing we were trying to do was take care of the ball and get the ball to our better free throw shooters,” said Rock Canyon coach Kent Grams. “We know there is pressure on every shot because they (Douglas County) put so much pressure on the ball.

It’s ridiculous the amount of ball pressure they do put on. They are really good at it.”

Hershberger, a 5-foot-10 junior guard, drove towards to foul line and was fouled.

“I question whether or not I should have called that timeout,” added Grams. “He (Hershberger) goes out and misses it but we needed to set up a defense because we knew they were going to come out with something different.”

Hershberger missed the second free throw attempt and the Huskies called a timeout. With a second remaining, Douglas County threw a long pass down court but

a desperation turnaround jumper was no good.

“We knew this game was going to be a grind,” said Grams. “They are a great team. They do a lot of things really well and they have two of the better guards in the state. They might be the best.

They are hard to guard.”

Hershberger, Chris Schlesinger and Braxton Jones combined to spark a 9-0 Jaguars’ run as Rock Canyon rallied from a 43-40 deficit to grab a 49-43 lead with 3:12 left in the game. Hershberger and Jones each had four points and Schlesinger one during the spurt.

However, Douglas County forced turnovers and came back to tie with game at 49-all on a basket by AJ Jackson.

“We battled,” said Comstock. “It was a fun matchup. Being a basketball fans, it was fun to watch.

Rock Canyon made enough good plays down the stretch to win the game.”

Hershberger finished with 16 points, Jones had 11 points and eight rebounds while Schlesinger, a 6-6 senior, scored six points and had five assists.

Senior guard Ty Nettles led the Huskies with 13 points and four steals while junior Xander Baldessari chipped in 10 points.

Jackson had eight rebounds and Jaeton Hackley had six assists and four steals.

Rock Canyon, which had another tough game on Jan. 28 against top-ranked ThunderRidge, improved to 12-4 overall after the win over the Huskies. The Jaguars were 3-1 in the league. Douglas County slipped to 13-3 overall and 2-2 in the league.

• Publication of any given letter is at our discretion.

Letters are published as space is available.

• We will edit letters for clarity, grammar, punctuation and length and write headlines (titles) for letters at our discretion.

• Please don’t send us more than one letter per month. First priority for publication will be given to writers who have not submitted letters to us recently.

• Submit your letter in a Word document or in the body of an email. No PDFs or Google Docs, please.

• We do not publish speculation about other people’s motives or thoughts. Please keep your comments to a person’s actions or statements.

• Generally we will not publish multiple letters that make the same point in a given week. Only submit ideas and opinions that are your own — and in your own words. We will not publish any letter that appears to be part of a letter-writing campaign or that copies text from an outside source, such as a website.

• We do not publish letters promoting a business, product or commercial service.

Public Notice Dominion Water and Sanitation District (DWSD) is adding a Denver Basin well to its supply system at the Cherokee Ranch site in Douglas County, CO. The well will be completed in the Arapahoe Aquifer; however, prior to completion, the Arapahoe well’s initial borehole will extend through the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer, to allow for geophysical logging, aquifer testing, and water quality sampling of the Denver and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers. For these activities, temporary casing and screen will be placed in the borehole.

Following testing, the borehole will be backfilled/ sealed and the permanent well will be completed in the Arapahoe Aquifer. After completion of the Arapahoe well, aquifer testing and water quality sample collection will be performed. The depth to the bottom of the aquifers is approximately 1000 feet for the Denver, 1500 feet for the Arapahoe, and 2100 feet for the Laramie-Fox Hills. At this time, the well will not be completed with permanent pumps, motors, and controls, and will not be connected to conveyance or treatment infrastructure.

Public Notice REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) #006-22 COMMUNITY RESPONSE TEAM CLINICIANS In 2017, the DCMHI implemented the Community Response Team (CRT) programs. This co-responder model pairs a licensed clinician and a specially trained law enforcement officer to respond to active 911 calls with a primary behavioral health component. The team is supported by specialized response from local fire jurisdictions, who provide field medical clearance and allow patients needing direct placement to psychiatric services, to avoid the emergency department.

The Douglas County Community Response Team is a partnership between Douglas County, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Castle Rock Police Department, Parker Police Department and Lone Tree Police Department and requires collaboration between the clinical vendor and these multiple jurisdictions.

Additionally, a case management team supports the co-responder teams by working with individuals that need ongoing case management to connect to appropriate, community-based services.

Through this RFP, Douglas County seeks a clinical provider to partner in the provision of clinical services for the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative’s (DCMHI) Community Response Teams.

The RFP documents may be reviewed and/or printed from the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System website at www.rockymountainbidsystem.com.

RFP documents are not available for purchase from Douglas County Government and can only be accessed from the above-mentioned website.

RFP responses will be received until 4:00 p.m. on Friday, March 4, 2022 by Douglas County Government, Finance Department, Purchasing Division, 100 Third Street, Suite 130, Castle Rock, Colorado 80104.

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.
