For over 15 years Castle Rock residents living near the train tracks running through downtown have put up with dozens of trains honking as they pass intersecting roads day and night. A recent Castle Rock resolution will start the process of quieting the trains.

The town will invest $1.8 million to install new safety gates, signage and other road improvements at the train crossings on Fifth, Second and Third streets, which will allow for the establishment of a quiet zone, where trains are not required to honk at each crossing.

Castle Rock’s council approved construction and maintenance agreements with Union Pacific Railroad on April 19, setting the process in motion to mute the trains.

“I know this is a long overdue project, specifically for downtown and the residents of Craig and Gould Council,” said Councilmember Desiree LaFleur. “I apologize that we have not been able to get this done sooner.”

Castle Rock’s Director of Public Works Dan Sailer said conversations between the town and Union Pacific date back to 2007, but this is the first significant step to successfully achieve a quiet zone.

Many residents shared how disruptive the current situation is to their daily lives, including sleep schedules and quality of life. Castle

School board weighs how to handle tense public comment Directors seeking right balance

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the local teachers union president walked back to his seat after giving public comment at Douglas County School Board, a squabble erupted between him and a group of women.

Kevin DiPasquale wasn’t sure which person it was, he said, but as he passed by, DiPasquale heard one of the women jeer at him, “Go sit down, Kevin.”

DiPasquale stopped and said he retorted with “Pardon me,” visibly upset. From the dais, Peterson asked DiPasquale and the women to stop arguing and moved the meeting along.

The group of women were among others who openly laughed at public comment they disagreed with throughout the evening, burying faces into their shirts and turning to each other to roll eyes.

One of the women loudly called out DiPasquale by name when it was her turn to speak, defying a long-held board rule and requests from board President Mike Peterson not to criticize other community members by name.

Other speakers took aim at Peterson, a vocal critic of the union, and some of his past comments

calling collective bargaining agreements a “self-licking ice cream cone.” One person brought toy ice cream cones and set them on the lectern as they joined other speakers in lambasting Peterson for some of his political engagements.

Near the April 26 meeting’s end, Director Susan Meek implored the board to think about how it could foster a more welcoming environment, where “we don’t have people being targeted.”

“I feel like the tone during public comment feels like we are allowing intimidation and bullying and kind of an environment that we would never allow in a classroom,” she said.

Director Becky Myers said the

issue would be a natural agenda item for the board’s upcoming retreat in June.

“You’re exactly right, Susan,” she said.

Peterson said he had commiserated with Director David Ray, another subject of repeated criticism that evening, by joking that he wasn’t sure which of them was targeted more during public comment.

“I know that some of it even boarders on hateful, I mean certainly the tone that it’s delivered,” Peterson said.

Debate continues A heated school board election has passed, a new superintendent is seated after a series of board controversies, but debates about freedom of expression and appropriate behavior during public comment at Douglas County School Board remains a challenge for the board.

“It’s been on my mind for a while. It has been something our board has struggled with for a while,” Meek told Colorado Community Media a few days later.

“The lack of decorum during public comment and the negative message it sends to our students and our community is troubling.”

Citizens have a right and responsibility to “set the direction for how we want to live our collective lives together as part of democracy,” Meek said. She worries that “intimidation can be chilling to discourse and inhibit speech.”

Meek said as the issue of tense meetings weighed on her, she revisited all the board’s policies.

Some behavior at meetings goes against board policies to promote diverse views and foster respect, she said.

“In it we say we shall not cause or allow conditions that are unfair, unsafe or undignified,” Meek said.

The educational equity policy commits the board to a culture where everyone feels safe and valued, Meek said. The public participation policy emphasizes the board wants to hear from diverse viewpoints.

“If the decorum isn’t there, we really aren’t setting the stage for that to happen,” she said.

Meek thinks one solution is to provide the community more chances to have actual dialogue with board directors. Public com-

ment at board meetings does not allow any back-and-forth conversation between directors and commenters.

“In my opinion, without meaningful opportunities for the board to engage in two-way conversation with our citizens, I think this will continue to be a struggle no matter what we put into a policy,” Meek said.

Ray was traveling at the time of this story and provided comments by email. Ray called “personal attacks and verbal harassment” unacceptable and harmful behavior. It’s also unproductive, he said.

“I believe that concerns and criticism can be expressed diplomatically without character assassination,” Ray wrote.

Ray said board policy makes clear that concerns about other people are better expressed to them one-on-one. If an issue cannot be resolved there, he said, there are “appropriate channels of communication” within the district that a concerned citizen can move through.

“These channels do not include defaming someone on social media nor slandering individuals during public comment,” Ray wrote.

Ray said some people argue freedom of expression “should be protected at all cost.” But so should the values of respect, decency and civility, he said.

“Simply put, the boardroom should be a reflection of the cultures we expect in our classrooms.

Our educators would never tolerate the egregious behaviors demonstrated by some of the adults during public comment,” Ray said.

Ray, a former board president, said he would read a detailed script before the start of public comment so people knew what his expectations for decorum were. The script called for mutual respect. Modeling appropriate behavior. Refraining from using names “in an offensive manner.”

No derogatory statements or name calling.

Getting people to abide by these expectations is an ongoing challenge, he said. Sometimes, it requires stopping a meeting to “regain a respectful atmosphere,” he said.

“The boardroom needs to be the lighthouse for productive discourse that benefits children and not an arena where constant threat is exhibited,” he said.

What is acceptable?

Peterson said the district “has an interest in respectful dialogue,” whether that be at a board meeting or interactions among parents and teachers. His approach “has always been to err to allowing free speech,” he said.

“I believe that’s critical,” he said.

As to what might be fueling the discourse at this juncture, Peterson thinks it’s likely a reflection of political polarization nationwide being reflected all the way down to the school board level.

“There’s a lot of passion, there’s a lot of emotion in our community SEE BOARD, P8

Former Castle Pines Mayor Tera Radloff has found a new landing spot for community service, being elected to the Castle Pines North Metro District Board during the May 3 election.

According to the unofficial results the morning of May 4, as ballots are still being counted, Radloff had 918 votes. Also appearing to be elected to the board is Jason Blanckaert, with 987 votes at that time.

The two will be new board members as David McEntire, who currently serves as metro district president, opted not to seek reelection.

The two board members have been elected to three-year terms, and according to the metro district’s website announcement, will be sworn in to office during a regular board meeting on May 16.

The two board members are joining a metro district that has been struggling to find an answer to water issues facing residents living west of Interstate 25.

Metro board members elected Dickerson, Schierholz are reelected residents to be included in the Parker Water District, but due to a number of outstanding issues, the plan was halted.

The decision directly impacted 12,000 Castle Pines residents. In total, it equates to about 3,500 customer accounts that Parker Water would have obtained through the inclusion plan.

While water and metro district officials have said there is still hope to revive the plan at a later date, another election would have to be held to gain resident approval.

Until another plan is developed, the metro district has continued providing water and wastewater services to residents.

STAFF REPORT

Highlands Ranch Metro District voters chose two new directors and two returning board members for open seats on the Board of Directors in its May 3 election. With ballots being counted, the results are unofficial as of May 4.

Voters were asked to elect one board director from four regions. In the West Central and South Central regions, sitting directors Mark A. Dickerson and Carolyn Schierholz were re-elected. The only other competitive region was the Northwest, which Eric T. Rysner was selected to represent.

David Simonson was the only

candidate in the Southeast Region, receiving the most votes of any candidate at 1,370.

Dickerson beat Curtis Robert Hanock with a tally of 1,104 votes to 881 votes. Schierholz received 1,189 votes to beat Robert W. Mainger, who received 798 votes. Rysner’s 1,181 votes beat Scott A. Densmore’s 534 votes.

The winning candidates will serve three-year terms.

The metro district election this year experienced issues with incorrect instructions on ballots causing them to be resent and having ballots sent to ineligible voters. Highlands Ranch’s contracted election services provider, Colorado Resource Services, said the ineligible votes were voided before the election and would not impact the outcome of the election.

region. Family members are caring for the Sheveria’s pets and keeping them informed on the status of the war. Recently, they learned the bombing has moved even closer to their home.

“We kind of hoped until the last moment that bombs will not reach there,” Maryna said. “Because it’s in the mountains, it’s very small.”

Maryna and Oleksandr spoke about their family’s journey to Colorado from the living room of the the Larkspur home.

While it’s her husband and children’s first time in the United States, for Maryna, it’s not such an unfamiliar place. Just down the road is Douglas County High School, where Maryna spent a school year during an exchange program 23 years ago. The Larkspur home and its inhabitants are familiar too, as it’s the same host family Maryna lived with during her exchange program.

As they spoke, Maryna translated for her husband Oleksandr, 39, who is working on learning English.

‘It was panic’ Just a few months ago, their family had started 2022 like many others. They had fitness goals, resolutions to learn new languages and plans for the future. On the weekends, Oleksandr would grill food for the family, or they would take their kids to play at a local park.

Oleksandr owned a business selling used trucks and cars.

Maryna worked for an IT company.

Then, on Feb. 24, everything changed.

“We are used to having Russian forces on our borders and they’re doing this like eight years already,” Maryna said. “We didn’t believe it until the last minute.”

The day before the invasion, Maryna dropped Oleksandr off at the border of Ukraine, where he planned to travel to Budapest to catch a flight for a work trip.

After she heard the news a few hours later that Russia was attacking, Maryna called to tell him she was planning to flee.

“It was panic,” she said. “All I thought about was the safety of my children. I didn’t think about the plans for work or business.”

She gathered the kids into her car and tried to begin the journey.

But she could not find any gas.

For nearly an hour, she searched for a gas station where she could fill up. While there wasn’t a shortage at that time, stations were limiting how much customers could purchase. And the lines were tremendously long.

Eventually, she filled their tank as much as possible and began driving to Budapest to meet with Oleksandr.

When they finally reconnected, the family traveled to Germany.

Once there, Maryna received a social media message from Helen Kellogg, who had hosted her as an exchange student back in 1999.

UKRAINE FROM PAGE 6

Kellogg offered to again host Maryna and her family at her home.

Exchange program Kellogg, who is Ukrainian but grew up in the United States, began hosting Ukrainian students because she wanted to continue speaking the language, which was the first she learned.

“I wanted to kind of get back into the heritage,” Kellogg said.

“My kids were young. I wanted them to be more familiar with their Ukrainian background.”

Mayna spent about nine months attending Douglas County High School in Castle Rock and came back again a few years later. Kellogg remembers trying to convince Maryna to immigrate to the U.S. “She kept sitting there going ‘No, I need to go back home.

Ukraine is going to need us, they’re going to need young people,’” Kellogg remembers.

“She wanted to be part of that future of Ukraine.”

After Maryna and her family decided to accept Kellogg’s offer, they spent several weeks in Germany, waiting for their tourist visa to be approved. During that time they stayed in various hostels, hotels and apartments

in Germany, often experiencing generosity from strangers.

Some allowed them to stay for free in their hotel, others gave them food and one man who saw their Ukrainian license plate at a gas station insisted upon giving them cash.

“It’s been really unbelievable,” Maryna said. “I’m touched beyond words because people don’t know us. For them, we are just some family.”

Meanwhile, Kellogg, who has worked for the county government for about 37 years, asked the commissioners if they would consider supporting the family’s visa application. They agreed to do so and wrote a letter of support.

Colorado Senator John Hickenlooper and Representative Ken Buck also voiced support for their application.

Kellogg and her husband agreed to sponsor their visa, which means they will provide shelter, clothing and food for the family.

Following an interview and a wait period, their application was approved and they flew to the U. S. in mid-March.

Life in Larkspur These days, the family spends their time mostly with each other in the house and yard in Larkspur. They don’t have access to a vehicle, so their travel around the area has been

limited. They went out hiking once and also visited the Denver Botanic Gardens.

Mostly, they stay in. Maryna braids the three girls’ hair or the kids play with Pokemon toys. Oleksandr works on learning English.

Since arriving, Kellogg and Maryna have tried to restrict how much news they take in from the war.

“It kinda reminds me of like 911 where you just sit there and you’re so horrified going, ‘how in the heck can this be happening?’” Kellogg said.

They especially try to avoid letting the kids see or hear too much of it. While the kids know there’s a war going on, Maryna and Oleksandr try not to talk about it in front of them.

“I’m happy they didn’t see anything like a lot of children had to witness in Ukraine,” Maryna said. “They are ok. They haven’t been traumatized that much.”

For Mayna and Oleksandr, there are some complicated emotions that cross their minds as they wait to see how the war will play out.

“At first, I kind of felt guilty that I left the country. But I usually stop myself from that thought when I start feeling like that because I look at my children and I understand that it was the right decision,” Maryna said.

Both Maryna and Oleksandr’s

parents are still in Ukraine along with their siblings, friends and other relatives. With some, they are still in touch and hear consistent updates about the state of the war. Others, they can’t contact and don’t know where they are or how they are doing.

For now, the couple can’t work because of their status as tourists. They have applied for Temporary Protection Status from the U.S. and hope if it’s approved, they will be able to begin working in the community.

“I miss the regular life, when you go to work, when you talk to people, just a regular schedule,” she said.

If that status is approved, perhaps they can buy a car and find a place to rent.

“We’re really thankful to Helen and Jim for hosting us here because it’s a big support on their shoulders,” Oleksandr said with Maryna translating.

“It means a lot to us.”

All they can do until then, however, is wait.

The kids, ages 4, 8, 11 and 14 and are currently learning remotely in a Ukrainian school but if the family is granted TPS status, they hope to attend local classes.

“We can’t make any long-term plans at the moment because of this situation,” Maryna said.

“Hopefully things will get better in Ukraine.”

County funds second youth community response team Focus is on helping struggling students

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More students experiencing a mental health crisis in Douglas County schools will soon have access to trained responders after county commissioners funded an expansion of the Youth Community Response Team on May 3.

The Youth Community Response Team, which pairs mental health clinicians with law enforcement to help people crises, currently serves 42 schools in the county. With the additional funding to creat a second YCRT team, the program will be able to serve all 92 schools in the district, including private and charter schools.

“We have seen — since the initiation of the pilot of the community response team — a really great added layer of support for our students,” said Stephanie CrawfordGoetz, the mental health director for Douglas County School District.

“We’re getting really good at having all eyes on kids, making connections and knowing when they’re presenting signs that they’re at risk.”

The YCRT is an expansion on the country’s original Community Response Team, which began in 2017 and also pairs law enforcement with

Sincerely, Traveling Tommy Dear Traveling Tommy, Wow, that sounds like the opportunity of a lifetime. We commend anyone that has the gumption to put something like this together!

There are a few things you should know when it comes to traveling and your Estate Planning. Always remember, your location of domicile will determine where your Estate is administered. A few things that prove your domicile are your Driver’s License, Tax Filing, Permanent place of residence, and place of involvement.

That being said, if something were to happen to you while traveling (locally, nationally, or internationally), the laws where you reside will be the laws that control your Estate Plan and Estate Administration. (Ex. You are domiciled and plan in the State of Colorado, travel to Thailand, and pass away in Thailand. The laws of Colorado will control your Estate Administration.)

The first thing you will want to do is review your Estate Planning documents. This includes your Will, Trust (if you have one), Powers of Attorney (Financial and Medical), and your Living Will/Medical Directives. You will want to ensure that your plan still works for you.

Next, you will want to communicate with your Fiduciaries or “helpers.” Make sure they know the location of your documents and how they work. Obviously, don’t broadcast your Estate Plan to the world. These are private documents that only the authors and fiduciaries should have knowledge of.

You will also want to make sure that your Fiduciaries know where you are traveling. Give them an itinerary or a plan of the places you intend to go and the things you intend to do.

You can never be too safe or plan too much when it comes to your Estate Plan and traveling.

If any of your documents need to be updated before you go – don’t hesitate to reach out! Call our office for a no obligation meeting (303)670-9855.

Davis Schilken, PC – Let our deep experience meet your heartfelt goals!

Sheriff’s Office has agreed they can provide an existing deputy for the program this year but may need to hire a new employee for the position beginning in 2023.

“When you put the story of the real benefit, the real lives that have been impacted, that’s why I think this is such a good investment,” Commissioner Lora Thomas said in the meeting. “Because it’s not only an investment in the schools, it’s an investment in the future.”

In 2021, the YCRT treated 71 children on site and placed 26 into treatment facilities. In that whole year, the team responded to 290 referrals, according to a memo about the team. In the first two months of this year, the team responded to 111 referrals.

“This upward trend is likely to continue with children and youth returning to in-person learning,” according to the memo.

Following the deadly STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting in 2019, the county dedicated $13 million for school safety initiatives,

across a variety of issues,” he said.

Peterson said it’s OK to disagree with other people who attend school board meetings. It’s OK to be critical of board members, he said.

“This is not a place for partisan political attacks,” Peterson said.

His priority is allowing each board director, presenter, and public commenter to speak without interruptions, he said. Reactions to public comment is “certainly not appropriate if it interrupts speakers,” he said. Applause in-between speakers, “I actually don’t mind that,” he said.

Although past boards were more strict about prohibiting reaction to public comment, Peterson has taken a different approach, and permitted applause or cheers inbetween He has felt attendees were compliant in instances when he asked

including $823,000 earmarked for mental health services. So far, about $185,000 of that has been spent on surveys, social-emotional curriculum and safety trainings.

During the meeting, Commissioner Abe Laydon asked CrawfordGoetz about why the majority of county funding for mental health initiatives has not yet been utilized.

She responded that the COVID-19 pandemic had delayed the rollout of some of their plans but they are still working on carrying out other portions of their initiative.

Laydon said he hopes to see programs where students struggling have some kind of intervention before it becomes a crisis.

“I would be okay with this as long as I think there’s an understanding that you are doing some measure of significant peer support from other sources,” Laydon said.

Crawford-Goetz said it is their priority in these situations.

“First and foremost is prevention, early intervention, being proactive, reaching all of our students before it needs to get to a point where students are in crisis,” she said.

“That is where we want to focus the majority of our efforts but we know that there will always be a segment of our population that has intensive needs and we want to be responsible for them as well.”

The initial Youth Crisis Response Team was created in November 2019, just a few months after the STEM shooting.

After students are connected with the youth team, they decide the best way to meet their immediate needs.

Then, the student continues to be monitored and contacted by a case manager.

“That’s been phenomenal to follow families and make sure that once they’ve had an initial crisis that they continue to get support and hopefully don’t have a repeat crisis,” Crawford-Goetz said. “What we found with this is that kids could stay in school. They didn’t have to be transported as much.” someone to settle down. Peterson said he can’t always see or hear what happens in the audience. He was leery of labeling specific conduct as bullying or intimidation.

“Sometimes it’s difficult to monitor those situations,” he said.

Peterson said he will be relying on district staff more often to help him keep the room’s discourse civil.

Peterson said board directors also bear a responsibility to model the behavior they want to see among the community, particularly when directors disagree. The April 26 meeting featured all 7-0 votes with the exception of one 6-1 decision, which boiled down to an administrative issue, he said.

Whether or not fraught school board meetings are the new normal is “a good question,” Peterson said, and one he doesn’t have the answer to. But Peterson is optimistic, he said, that tension in DCSD will simmer down.

“And we can focus more on what unites us than what divides us,” he said.

School district turns over withdrawn request for teacher absences Records from sick-out remain unreleased

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A judge’s order resulted in the Douglas County School District naming a man who in February requested the names of teachers who were absent on the day of a contentious sick-out and then withdrew his request.

Previously, the school district had declined requests from Colorado Community Media and Kyle Clark of 9News to produce the withdrawn request and who filed it, which prompted Clark and 9News’ parent company, TEGNA, to sue the district for the record.

On May 5, a judge ruled in 9News’ favor, ordering the school district to immediately release the withdrawn request.

“There is no authority of which this court is aware, that permits a requester to remove a CORA request from its status as a public record by simply asking that it be withdrawn,” Douglas County District Court Judge Jeffery Holmes wrote in his order. “This is especially true when, as here, a CORA request is made for an Original Request prior to any effort at withdrawal and the Original Request clearly remained a public document seeking and triggering

government action.”

The withdrawn request shows Colorado attorney Michael Kane asked for a list of the teachers who submitted absence requests for the Feb. 3 sick-out, which forced classes to cancel. Kane has not responded to requests for comment.

Kane sent an email statement to 9News that said he made the request for personal use as a district parent and withdrew his request after being asked to do so by the district.

Kane works with Dan Caplis, an attorney and conservative radio show host. 9News reports that

Caplis said on his show “somebody smart is going to get the names of everybody who’s once again abandoning the children” the same day Kane filled his request.

Another February request made to the school district by a Robert L. Baxter for the names of teachers out on Feb. 3 was denied, with the district claiming it would violate staff’s medical confidentiality rights. Messages left with a Robert L. Baxter have gone unreturned.

A spokeswoman for the district’s legal team provided Colorado Community Media a copy of a statement addressed to Baxter.

The statement read: “Dear Mr. Baxter, The District declines to produce the requested records pursuant to C.R.S. 24-72-204(1)(a) because the inspection would be contrary to state statute. Pursuant to C.R.S. 8-13.3-412 (2), ‘Any health or safety information possessed by an employer regarding an employee or employee’s family member must be treated as confidential medical records and not disclosed except to the affected employee or with the express permission of the affected employee.’

The District also declines to produce the requested records pursuant to C.R.S. 24-72-204(3) (a)(I) because the inspection of ‘electronic health records, on individual persons’ is prohibited by the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA).’”

According to the district’s March CORA log, Baxter has since made at least two more requests for the same information, calling the district’s legal reasoning “erroneous.”

Aside from Kane’s and Baxter’s requests, four other requests from CORArequest.com have been filed for similar information on the at least 1,500 teachers and staff who were absent for the sick-out.

The district confirmed that it has not released any records of staff absences or sick leaves on Feb. 3 in response to record requests seeking that information.

Colorado Democrats aim to quickly pass property tax relief Push is aimed at heading off ballot measure from business group, conservatives

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The debate over how to tackle rising property taxes is poised to dominate the final days of Colorado’s 2022 legislative session, as Gov. Jared Polis, Democratic lawmakers and Colorado Concern, a deep-pocketed business organization, hastily negotiate a plan to provide relief that’s sufficient but that doesn’t also deny local governments billions in future funding.

With just two weeks left in the lawmaking term, the high-stakes conversations, which have been happening behind the scenes for months, are getting more intense.

Polis and Democrats are trying to quickly introduce and pass property tax reduction legislation to head off a 2022 ballot measure from Colorado Concern, a nonprofit that represents the interests of the state’s top business executives, that would permanently cap property tax increases.

While everyone generally agrees that something needs to be done to reduce Coloradans’ property tax tabs, there is a wide chasm when it comes to how and how much. As of Tuesday, the policy details of the deal were still very much in flux.

The legislation could come in many different forms, including a property valuation rate reduction. Lawmakers have also set aside $200 million for property tax relief, but it’s unclear how they would spend it.

It appears any deal would only be temporary, lasting as few as two years, as both sides work toward finding a long-term solution.

“There are a lot of cooks in the

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

kitchen,” said Senate President Steve Fenberg. “We just need to get (the bill) right before we introduce it.”

Asked if there were any specific options on the table, Fenberg didn’t directly answer, only saying that Democratic leadership at the Capitol is trying to figure out the policy proposal that would “provide the most relief.”

This is the second year of endof-session debate around property taxes — which fund schools — at the Colorado Capitol. In 2021, lawmakers passed an 11th-hour billtemporarily slashing property tax valuation rates and recategorizing properties for taxation purposes in order to blunt the effect of an ultimately unsuccessful ballot measure pushed by conservatives that would have resulted in a much larger property tax cut.

Those involved in the discussions this year have said they are essentially negotiating under threat: if they don’t pass a property tax relief bill, Colorado Concern could move forward with a measure siphoning as much as $1.3 billion in expected tax revenue from local coffers in its first year.

of having conversations about what the proper policy is for moving forward,” said House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver. “It’s not a great way of governing. It’s not the best way of doing business.”

Garnett says he doesn’t see a permanent fix on the horizon, which means it’s possible — if not likely — that the annual property tax debate continues as property values rise and property taxes continue to follow suit.

Colorado Concern, however, sees its proposal — which would cap property valuation increases at roughly 3% for taxation purposes — as that permanent solution.

“The measure provides critical relief for taxpayers while balancing the needs of local communities who depend on tax revenue to fund essential services,” Mike Kopp, a former state lawmaker who leads Colorado Concern, said in a written statement earlier this year when the proposal was unveiled.

Polis’ office said in a statement Tuesday night that “the governor will continue to partner with the state legislature and local leaders to save Coloradans money.”

Progressives, meanwhile, led by the liberal-leaning Bell Policy Center, are pleading with Democrats this year not to give up too much in their efforts to keep Colorado Concern from moving forward with a ballot measure. They fear a major property tax reduction would spell disaster for school and local government funding.

“Let’s not let Colorado Concern dictate the terms of how we solve this,” said Scott Wasserman, who leads Bell.

Colorado Concern has filed a host of similar proposed ballot measures as it works to determine which to advance. But a poll commissioned by the Bell Policy Center indicated that one of Colorado Concern’s main proposals, Initiative 75, which would cap property value increases at 3% for taxation purposes, lacks enough support to pass in November.

Fifty-two percent of those polled said they would vote for the mea-

sure, while 28% said they would vote against it and 20% said they were completely undecided or had no lean whatsoever. Initiative 75 would need the support of 55% of voters to pass since it would amend the constitution.

Colorado Concern has proposed other, similar ballot measures that wouldn’t require a constitutional change and thus could pass with a simple majority. But the general rule of thumb for ballot measures in Colorado is that they only pass when they poll well above what’s needed for passage.

“I don’t think they have nearly as strong a hand as they are publicly saying they are,” Wasserman said.

The poll also indicated there is far more support for progressive property tax relief ballot measure ideas being pushed by Wasserman, including one that would enact an extra tax or fee on homes worth more than $2 million. But Wasserman doesn’t appear to have the financial backing needed to collect the roughly 125,000 signatures required to get his ideas on the ballot.

“That’s the elephant in the room,” he said, “isn’t it?”

Looming over the frenzy is Initiative 110, a proposed ballot measure filed by conservative fiscal policy activist Michael Fields that would cap property tax increasesat 2% annually. Fields said he is not part of the negotiations with the governor’s office and Colorado Concern.

“We’re waiting to see what the deal is,” he said.

Lawmakers were slated to be briefed by the governor’s office Tuesday on the latest negotiations with Colorado Concern.

Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, said it’s unlikely a bill will be introduced until early next week.

STEM’s proposed Sterling Ranch school gets pushback Safety issues raised

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

STEM School Highlands Ranch’s application to build a new school in Sterling Ranch was met with mixed responses from the public, including allegations from Kendrick Castillo’s father that STEM doesn’t keep its students safe enough.

STEM presented its plan to replicate the unique problem-based learning model it calls KOSON at a new K-12 school in Sterling Ranch to the Douglas County School Board on April 26. STEM was one of three charter schools to apply to open in the county next year, as well as Lehman Academy and Novastar Academy, which would be new to the district.

Most board directors didn’t express strong feelings either way for the proposed STEM School Sterling Ranch, but Director David Ray did question the logic of putting a charter school in Sterling Ranch when it doesn’t yet have a district school.

Ray also noted it would limit options for special education students.

“The reason I ask about your special education certainly is that without a neighborhood school in that community, we don’t have the potential of placing students into a significant needs program,” he said.

KOSON CEO and former STEM executive director Penny Eucker said approving a charter doesn’t preclude other schools from the area and she would be happy to see options for parents and students.

“I think it would be great for families to have choice, so a district school and STEM and other charters,” Euchre told the board.

“You know if you have more than one child that they’re completely different.”

Parents and community members were more vocal than the board, with many opposing STEM’s application and echoing Ray’s concerns about the lack of a district school in the neighborhood.

“Approving STEM and specifically approving STEM to occupy our only current site set aside for a school will set a standard that is fundamentally contrary to prioritizing neighborhood schools in the district’s newer and faster growing communities,” a Sterling Ranch resident said during public comment. “Many residents share reservations that if the board approves the application and a bond is passed in the near future, though no additional school sites have yet to be dedicated by the developer, the probability for a neighborhood school in the near future would be jeopardized.”

John Castillo, father of Kendrick Castillo, who died in the 2019 STEM shooting, told the Douglas County board he didn’t support another STEM school because of its inability to protect students like his son.

“We feel that it’s not a safe

charter and over three years, there hasn’t been enough done,” he said.

“For Pete’s sake don’t allow STEM to replicate another charter until they can prove that they’ve made bounds and discussed what they’ve done with transparency.”

STEM Director of Communications Nicole Bostel told Colorado Community Media on April 29 that she couldn’t respond to Castillo’s specific comment because of ongoing litigation, but did speak to some of the safety measures STEM has installed at Highlands Ranch.

Bostel said several security systems are in place, including a background check program for visitors, an on-site school resource officer and a shot detection system that sends the school into lockdown, in addition to bullet-proofed windows and security doors.

A few parents did speak out in support for another STEM school and shared how the school’s problem-based learning model was crucial to making their students successful learners.

“Right now, all kids in Sterling Ranch have access to DCSD neighborhood schools, bus service and special needs programs,” said one mom during public comment. “Access to STEM is limited because there is no bus service and spots are limited. Adding a STEM school in Sterling Ranch will not take away existing DCSD schools or resources for special needs children either. Instead it would expand school choice for all.”

STEM’s presentation and application also gave more details about the proposed Sterling Ranch school, which would initially be an elementary school with the intent to ultimately teach K-12.

It’s first year would serve just 100 students in grades K-3 with 10 instructional staff and five administrative staff. The estimated operating budget is $1.4 million for the first year.

Bostel said 98 families have signed the school’s intent to enroll form with just four of the families coming from outside the Sterling Ranch and Roxborough communities. Those 98 families represent interest in grades K-5, Bostel said.

Despite the negative comments, Bostel said STEM feels the presentation went well and they have a good chance of being approved.

“We understand that we’re not going to meet everybody’s needs because we are focusing on STEM,” Bostel said. “So we understand that if we were to open in that particular area, there are families who wouldn’t send their students to our school, however, we do have a lot of families interested.”

Douglas County’s board will make the final decision to approve or deny the application at its June 7 meeting. Until then, Bostel said STEM will ramp up community outreach, answer questions about the potential future school and grow the intent to enroll.

STEM is also in the process of applying to open an elementary school in the Denver Public School District on the same timeline of the Sterling Ranch school.

John Castillo speaks to the Douglas County School Board on April 26 in opposition of STEM School Highlands Ranch opening another campus in Sterling Ranch. Castillo’s son, Kendrick, died while protecting his classmates in a shooting at STEM School.

“On a really busy day we sell about a third of everything in here,” he said.

The store is expected to have about 100 employees at some point but for now is working with about 80. Many of the employees are Parker residents, Poe said.

The store will sell non-refrigerated beer but not any of its trademark affordable wine — sometimes called “Two-Buck Chuck” — because of its proximity to a liquor store.

VOICES

A sign of aging

I

t recently hit me that a true sign of aging is not about actual age, graying hair or straining a muscle in the back while picking up something as simple as a comb.

Instead, what hit me is how much hearing the news of a celebrity dying and being a little sad as you recount the memories from youth.

To tell this story, I will have to shine some light on my country roots a little bit. A few weeks ago, FROM THE when the news of Naomi Judd dying came EDITOR out, I was saddened.

This news proved I am aging because there was a time when a celebrity died, and my parents and grandparents would react while I kind of sat there wondering what the fuss was all about.

Now, it’s me telling my kids stories of how these people brought fond or not-sofond memories to my life.

After hearing about the sad way Naomi Thelma Grimes Judd died, I found myself telling my kids about the fact that my first favorite song, that I could recall, was the Judds’ hit “I Know Where I’m Going.” Yeah, it’s a bit of a cheesy song but I loved it.

The Judds were also my very first cassette tape. Yes, I said cassette tape. I was remembering how the ribbon would get pulled out and I would work to roll it back in with a pencil.

Later, I enjoyed the Judds’ work in songs such as “Grandpa” and “Love Can Build a Bridge.”

I made my kids listen to “Love Can Build a Bridge” in the car after I learned of Naomi Judd’s death, explaining what a lovely song it is and how I always enjoyed listening to it.

As if I needed another example of my age, my children helped that along with the bored looks and, at one point, asking if I could put on the recently-popular song, “Astronaut in the Ocean.”

Naomi Judd is not the first celebrity where I found myself recalling fond moments from childhood and young adulthood, but this was the first time where I realized it is becoming more routine to hear the news of someone passing and being able to recall some childhood story.

While I am always sad to hear the news of someone I grew up watching or listening to passing – I do enjoy taking a moment to pause and remember. Remembering that tape player being rewound over and over again to play my favorite songs. Today, we have the luxury of a quick push of a button or Google search to find the exact song we want at that moment.

When I was younger you had to practice timing to rewind and replay a good song. Believe me, I got good at that over the years before CDs became the thing.

On a sidenote, as I bring this week’s editor’s ramblings to a close, I will say I hope the passing of Naomi Judd continues even more discussion about mental health in our country.

She has always been an advocate for helping people with mental illness. She has always pushed for the medical industry to do more than just give someone some pills and hope they work well enough.

She has always pushed for more studies on the brain, or more attention to what causes depressing, anxiety and stress.

I hope her passing can bring some more attention and help to those who need it before they do what she ended up doing to end the struggles.

Listening for the voice of grace

S

o many of you enjoyed the quote I used last week, I thought I would begin this one with another of his quotes, “Graciousness is more than good manners. It is more than courtesy. It is the etiquette of the soul. True graciousness has such a divine quality we feel it is something that comes through us and not from us.” — Fred Smith Can you think of a time when you made a mistake, large or small, and where the error could have led to a bigger problem or conflict, yet the person on the receiving end of your mistake gave you grace? Sometimes when we think we have failed someone or something the most or feel like we don’t deserve to receive grace or to be forgiven, we are forgetting the inherent goodness and graciousness found in most people.

As the quote above points out, grace is not something that comes from us, it is something that comes through us and is demonstrated by our actions. Saying the words “I forgive you,” or “Don’t worry, it’s OK,” are a good start, but will be taken as insincere if the actions, body language, and tonality don’t support what is being said.

Have you ever withheld offering grace or forgiveness? When we withhold giving grace to someone, we are actually doing more harm to ourselves than to the person who offended us or who made

a mistake that had an impact on our lives. Yet, when we are at fault, we hope that the person we wronged in some way will offer us grace and forgive us. Giving grace is so freeing as it takes a heavy burden of anger or resentment off our shoulders, and we can get back to living our Michael Norton best life as the best version of ourselves.

And when we can get comfortable with giving grace, we will be much more comfortable receiving grace, even when we feel like we deserve it the least. In this context, I am referring to giving and receiving grace as in forgiveness. When we think of the other definitions of grace such as simple elegance or refinement of movement, or courteous goodwill, and then couple those with offering someone grace, it emphasizes or punctuates our sincerity.

There are always more elegant ways and solutions to solve problems, correct mistakes and overcome conflict or adversity. Learning how to live, work and love with graciousness is a tremendously amazing way to do just that. When we can learn to apply elegant solutions

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Douglas County needs Kluth Holly Kluth is the right choice for Douglas County sheriff.

She has the proven experience, current knowledge of police policies and tactics, relevant education, demonstrated integrity, and a history of working collaboratively with the community.

Holly will prioritize for public safety. As a former undersheriff she knows how to reorganize the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office immediately.

Holly has the most relevant experience, with 32 years in the sheriff’s office rising through the ranks to undersheriff. She has an impressive educational background with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, a master’s degree in psychology, and is an FBI National Academy graduate.

School safety matters to Holly.

For 30 years she has initiated youth programs to keep our students safe and has been recognized for school safety solutions. After the STEM School tragedy, she served on a committee of experts to recommend ways to keep all of our schools safer. Many of these recommendations are based on national best practice reports. She is committed to keeping officers in

schools.

She has a history of working well with others, including other law enforcement agencies, government officials and elected leaders as demonstrated by her key role in developing a multijurisdictional DNA Crime Lab. Douglas County needs Holly Kluth, a sheriff focused on protecting our families, our students, our officers, our freedoms and our rights.

thing happens or the error made had a negative impact on myself, my family or my friends. I listen for the voice of grace in my head and in my heart.

How does grace show up for you? Is it with a lot of effort or is it with refined movement and elegance? Is there someone you need to offer a little grace to? Is there something you have done where you are expecting or hoping to receive a little grace yourself?

I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we listen for the voice of grace, it really will be a better than good year.

during times of interpersonal conflict, it will have the greatest impact on all our relationships.

“Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.” - Max Lucado We all know the feeling of finding it within ourselves to offer grace in the moment we first find out that we have been wronged.

We struggle because we want to be so mad and we want to enjoy stewing in our anger for a while, it is our right to be mad, upset, hurt and angry. That is why I love this quote by Max Lucado and lean into the meaning. This quote has more than once been the words I cling to and repeat when some-

Darren is the only candidate who will be ready on day one. The other candidates require a learning curve of six to eight months to figure out what needs to be done in the sheriff’s office.

Darren is the only candidate who has received endorsements from the current sheriffs of Douglas County, Jefferson County and El Paso County, the El Paso and Teller counties DA, former governor Bill Owens, the South Metro Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 47 and the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police.

We urge you to vote for Darren Weekly in the upcoming election.

He really is the best choice.

Ron and Maureen Gedeon Highlands Ranch Kids are getting it right There is a lot of fear being projected onto our kids lately. It isn’t fair to ask our kids to be critical thinkers and, at the same time, tell them they can only think critically about what we, adults, deem worthy of thought. Many youth in Douglas County have proven to be openminded, curious, and inclusive humans. They are willing to make mistakes and learn from them.

These young adults are interested in noticing and asking questions … and listening. A good example. An example to which adults, who are often more comfortable maintaining the status quo, really ought to pay attention.

There are many things that adults have gotten wrong. Things that are outdated and harmful. We are human and we make mistakes. When mistakes are made and harm is done, ownership needs to be taken and apologies need to be made.

This is an example of humility! It allows for a shift, usually for the better. Wouldn’t it be beneficial for all of us, for the sake of our kids, to embrace humility and get curious?

Wouldn’t it be empowering to our kids if we ask them questions about why they think what they think, why they read what they read, why they are embracing people and ideas that we find uncomfortable or fear-inducing? What if our kids are getting it right? Many are asking good questions, advocating for those who are being mistreated and learning how to embrace their own voice! Maybe, adults, we should start paying more attention to what our kids have to say.

tions as members in its productions came down with COVID-19, saw donations reach a record $1 million.

“From small donors to corporations, everyone stepped up,” said Phillip Sneed, the center’s CEO and president.

The center also received $5.2 million in federal aid over two years, helping to offset $3.6 million in losses.

“At first we thought it was more than we needed,” Sneed said. But the aid became vital as losses mounted — the most recent, $130,000 in ticket returns from the cancellation of the last seven performances of the musical “Kinky Boots.”

Over the two years DCPA garnered about $16 million in federal aid, according to Sinden. DCPA depends heavily on ticket sales — contributions made up just 20% of its prepandemic budget of $75 million. “It was really, really tough to come back.

We lost $100 million in 18 months,” she said.

eight theaters in a season. At the same time, it was in the middle of a $41 million renovation project. The center used the pause to its advantage to complete the project.

“The silver lining of our experience was that we were renovating theaters,” said Janice Sinden, DCPA’s president and CEO. The Colorado Ballet started doing its daily ballet class for its dancers over Zoom and dancers began making “Virtual Ballet” videos dancing in the parking garage at the performing arts center or along the Platte River, as bicyclists whizzed by.

The company also teamed up with Rocky Mountain PBS to air performances of “The Nutcracker” and “Alice,” a ballet based on the Lewis Carroll character.

The Colorado Symphony never stopped playing. “Our mantra was play on,” Dobrff said.

Within days of the shutdown, the symphony produced an online performance of the Ode to Joy from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, each orchestra member playing his or her part at home.

Symphony musicians kept posting videos under the rubric #PlayOn, including the horn section’s soulful rendition of “All By Myself.” A handful of small, masked and socially distanced ensembles popped up at places like Civic Center park and the Colorado State Capitol.

In July 2020, the symphony became the first group to play at Red Rocks since the start of the pandemic, with a series of 18 concerts by 20 musicians before audiences of 175 spread out across the huge amphitheater. “It was eerie,” Dobreff said. “You just never see Red Rocks like that.”

Looking at the numbers While audiences largely disappeared, one thing that did not vanish was philanthropic and government backing for the arts. In fact, private donations to arts and cultural groups in 2020 rose 5.5% to $225 million compared to 2019, according to the CBCA. “We are a nonprofit organization.

We are used to raising money to meet our goals,” Dobreff said. “It isn’t something a restaurant or a store can do. … Donations became very important during that time and our support helped in a massive way to help us keep playing on.”

Pre-pandemic donations to performing arts organizations ranged on average from one-fifth to more than two-thirds of total revenue, based on their 990 federal tax forms.

DCPA had a 30,000-person subscriber base and the organization sought to have subscribers contribute their tickets. This helped boost donations to $4.5 million. Tickets could also be held as credits for future performanc-

es. Still, the center lost about 5,000 subscribers during the pandemic.

Subscribers also donated tickets for opera performances the company could not perform. “We saw a tremendous amount of support in contributions,” Carpenter said.

The opera was expecting about a 30% drop-off in contributions and while donations of $500 or less did decrease, pledges from major donors swelled. “So, it all balanced out,” Carpenter said.

Opera Colorado logged an 8% increase in contributions in fiscal year 2021 to $3.9 million, compared to a year earlier, while ticket sales were a tenth — just $1,400 — of what they were before the pandemic. More than half of the symphony’s $13.3 million 2020 budget was covered by contributions.

“I was concerned whether dollars would shift from the private sector, but they kept it up,” said Deborah Jordy, executive director of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.

The SCFD channels designated sales tax revenue to 320 arts and cultural organizations in Denver and six surrounding counties.

“Philanthropy stayed strong particularly in the performing arts where there was no earned income,

no ticket sales,” Jordy said.

The SCFD also increased its grants rising to $75.3 million in 2021 from $66 million in 2019, as sales tax revenue grew in the region.

“It really demonstrates generally consistent year-over-year support for cultural institutions and that is what they needed during the pandemic,” Jordy said.

There was one unexpected source of aid — the federal government’s COVID relief funds. Like other employers with fewer than 500 workers, performing arts organizations were able to access the Paycheck Protection Program and the employee retention tax credit, and then there was the $16.2 billion shuttered venue operator grant program.

“All those things were a bonus,” the Opera’s Carpenter said. “We never expected to be on the receiving end of that kind of federal government support.”

The opera received $518,000 in federal help over 2020 and 2021. The ballet — carrying a full company of dancers — received a total of nearly $6.4 million in federal backing over two years.

The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, which suffered a crippling string of performance cancella-

The comeback Still, as the summer of 2021 came to a close, everyone was preparing for that comeback.

One decision all these performing arts groups made was that patrons would have to wear masks and have proof of vaccination or negative COVID tests to attend performances.

“We wanted to be in lockstep because we knew it was going to be hard,” Dobreff said. “We did what was collectively best.”

The symphony began Sept. 17 with pianist Emmanuel Ax playing Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 at Boettcher. The ballet took the stage in October with “Giselle” — with special precautions backstage at the Ellie Caulkins to sequester hard-breathing dancers.

The opera, which was dormant during the 18-month lacuna, had managed to keep all its contracts for its production of “Tosca,” a casualty of the 2020 shutdown, and was able to stage Giacomo Puccini’s tale of love and betrayal at the Ellie Caulkins in November.

When the shutdown came, DPCA just left the set for the Improvised Shakespeare Company on the stage of its Garner Galleria Theater and shut the doors. “Eighteen months later we dusted everything off, cleaned the theater and we were back,” Sinden said.

The question was: Would audiences be back as well?

“Our comeback is a little slower, ticket sales have been a little softer,” Sinden said. “There are single ticket buyers making decisions closer to the event date, because they are not sure what the situation will be.”

The opera had one of highest subscription rates in the county, Carpenter said, with almost half of the performances covered by SEE DANCE, P20

‘Good Day Sunshine’ wraps up season Stories on Stage has brought joy to audiences for 22 years

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Good Day Sunshine,” a loving remembrance about the Beatles, presented on May 1 at Su Teatro in Denver, brought a happy conclusion to the 2021-22 season for the Stories on Stage organization, which brings in professional actors to read short works of literature to an audience of theatre lovers.

Based in Boulder, the group started in June 2000 with a performance at the Acoma Theatre in Denver and has, at times, fine-tuned with programs on a particular topic, plus adding a bilingual theatre program for elementary school students, “Cuentame un Cuentito/Tell Me a Story.” It also offers Lo-Dough pricing — name your own ticket price for those who need it.

They announced the 2022-2023 season for subscribers and may have a local author to present in addition.

Single tickets cost $25 and audience members are invited to become a benefactor and sponsor a particular actor for the season at $750 or a specific story for $500 if possible.

The market runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through Oct. 29. Learn more at www.CityParkFarmersMarket.com.

here are plenty of beautiful and important environmental sites that people are aware of - think locations like the Everglades in Florida. But then there are places that might be even more important and aren’t anywhere as well known, like the Canadian wetlands.

“Wings Over Water,” the new IMAX film at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd. in Denver, gives audiences a bird’s eye view of this crucial ecosystem through the story of three bird species - the Sandhill Crane, the Yellow Warbler and the Mallard Duck. Narrated by Michael Keaton, the film runs through July 31.

We spoke to Denver-based producer Chris Dorsey about the film, what he hopes people take from the film and more.

Interview was edited for clarity and brevity.

Tell me about how this film came together?

Once upon a time, I ran media marketing for Ducks Unlimited, who lead the way in the conservation of the Canadian wetlands. Leading scientists were brought together to focus on the work being done on the ecosystem, which is the richest bird nursery on the planet, but nobody knows anything about it. Scientists and others have been working there for decades, but doing so in a vacuum, so we decided something needed to be done to raise awareness and protection.

What is the film about?

It was designed to tell the story of the ecosystem through three central characters, all of whom converge during the nesting season in the wetlands and then migrate to different places around the continent. This helps highlight that these birds’ migratory Clarke Reader corridors are equally important and need protection.

People love the visuals and epic nature of the IMAX format, which transports attendees so thoroughly to Canada that it’s like they’re stamping their passports. By the end, you’re really vested in this place because you know it and want to support and protect it.

What does it mean for you to have the film screening at the DMNS? The museum is one of the top natural history museums in the US and the world. What the team has done there is pretty extraordinary, not just because it’s a stunning facility, but because of the life it has outside the walls of the institution.

What do you hope people who see the film come away with?

After one screening I had a guy come to me who said he was so fired up to do something about the wetlands because of the story. I’ve been to all sorts of these things and never come away with responses like this. I hope people lend

their wealth, work and wisdom to organizations like Ducks Unlimited and the Audubon Society to get involved in their projects and public policy.

I hope this magical place is going to be known, appreciated and understood for the first time in North American and global history. That’s the first key step in saving paradise.

getting our dancers back on stage and back to their careers … and we’ve been able to put on a full season,” said Gil Boggs, the ballet’s artistic director.

The ballet, like the opera, also saw more single and last-minute ticket sales. “We are still living in an era where it is hard to plan ahead,” Badler said.

The size of symphony audiences depended upon the performance, Dobreff said. Some concerts were sellouts or near sellouts, such as performances with Leslie Odom Jr. and Ben Folds.

The symphony, ballet and the opera — if there are no pitfalls with “Carmen” — will all have gotten through their seasons without canceling any shows. Others haven’t been that lucky.

In the midst of DCPA’s DecemberJanuary run of “The Lion King” (which had been canceled in May 2020),

13 performances had to be scrapped because of COVID-positive cast members.

“Some folks were canceled twice, in May and December,” Sinden said.

At the Arvada Center — which presents three musicals and four plays during a normal season — the musicals are the moneymakers, but this season the Christmas musical “Elf” was forced to scratch nine performances and “Kinky Boots” lost seven.

That added up to $360,000 in ticket refunds, Sneed said.

penter said. “Next season will still be a rebuilding season.”

The Arvada Center’s Sneed said it might take three to five years to recover.

There is also another worry that there may have been a fundamental shift in theatergoers’ behavior as a result of the pandemic.

“The big question is: Have we lost some patrons permanently?” Sneed said. “Have some people decided it is easier to stay home and watch virtual content?”

The looming question The question that now looms over the region’s performing arts is how long it will take for audiences to return and for the organizations to recover. “We went into this season as a year of rebuilding after COVID, but we didn’t really know what rebuilding would mean,” Car-

“We budgeted based on 50% of the house being sold. We weren’t sure if we’d have to limit capacity for social distancing,” Carpenter said. But for “Tosca” and the following production, “The Shining,” the house was more than 70% full.

The ballet on average saw its performances drawing three-quarters of a regular season, save for the Christmas run of “The Nutcracker” where attendance was off just 5%.

Arapahoe County mental health program making strides Thousands of contacts made in first years

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When a man in a rural part of Arapahoe County called 911 for help during a mental health crisis, he asked for a sheriff’s deputy to take him to a facility that could treat his condition.

But when the deputy patted the man down, he found the man had brass knuckles — a prohibited weapon — and the man received a ticket.

The man, who has a wife and kids and had served in the military, was facing jail time. But the staff at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office reached out to the right officials and gave the man a referral to mental health services, and his criminal charge was eventually dismissed.

“That was a really good story we recently had,” said Julie Jacobs, manager for the sheriff’s office’s Behavioral Health Response Program. Jacobs said the story is about an east Arapahoe County man, who spent about three months going back and forth with the court system earlier this year.

Deputies can’t ignore evidence of a crime, Jacobs said, but the mental health staff at the sheriff’s office tries to put the focus on getting help for people in mental health crisis instead of putting them on a path to jail.

That staff includes a team of mental health “coresponders” who react to 911 calls alongside deputies to handle mental health-related situations with the delicate nature they sometimes require. The sheriff’s office started its coresponder program in October 2019, and it has made thousands of contacts since then, according to the sheriff’s office.

Coresponders will never ask deputies not to charge an individual with a crime when it goes against policies or state law, according to Ginger Delgado, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office. But not all crimes are “mandatory arrest” situations, Delgado said in a statement.

A person can be “diverted” away from jail if a deputy determines that

Flags fly at the Arapahoe County Administration Building.

the person can be released with a court summons or pending charges, according to Delgado.

“If we can legally and ethically and morally keep them in the community to get the (mental health) services, that’s what we want to do,” said Jacobs, who oversees the coresponder program.

Coresponders are clinicians who have their own unmarked vehicles with a partition in the back so they can transport people to emergency rooms, crisis walk-in centers, or other treatment facilities — or they can provide transportation to other locations when appropriate, according to the sheriff’s office.

That approach allows the team to avoid using ambulances, which would require a bill to families, Jacobs said. What’s more, the coresponders can handle situations without placing people in handcuffs.

“We’ve been called out to some schools before as well. What’s better for a 15- (or) 16-year-old kid? To be put in handcuffs and put in a police vehicle?” Jacobs said, adding, “We’re not making them feel like they did something wrong.”

Since the start of October 2019, the coresponder program has had nearly 4,200 contacts, according to the sheriff’s office.

In 2021, just over 41% of all calls for service that a coresponder assisted with were not seen as mental health-related when the call was initially placed to 911 or a non-emergency line, according to Delgado’s statement.

mental health can include verbal disturbances, physical disturbances and trespassing, according to the office.

Coresponders can respond to any type of call except death investigations or other violent crimes where an arrest is mandatory and a “significant criminal investigation” is needed, Delgado’s statement said.

The types of crime for which the coresponder team is not allowed to “divert” people include domestic violence charges and other crimes of violence, according to the office.

But even if an arrest is required, the coresponder can still provide information — such as whether the person may be at risk for suicide or whether they need medications — to the county jail’s medical staff, according to Jacobs.

People who have contact with the program who are not arrested may be treated on scene if they do not request to be taken to a mental health treatment facility for a voluntary assessment — or if they do not meet criteria for what’s called an “M1 hold,” according to the office.

Under Colorado law, when a person appears to be an imminent danger to others or to themselves due to a mental health disorder, the person can be taken into custody and placed in a mental health treatment facility for an up to 72-hour treatment and evaluation.

Whether that “M1,” or mental health, hold takes 72 hours is up to the physician in charge — it could take five hours, Jacobs said, depending on the situation.

In 2021, the sheriff’s office wrote roughly 500 mental health holds, according to Jacobs. In 2020, the number was about the same.

But the rate at which the office authorized mental health holds in those years was different. In 2020, the number of overall mental health contacts coresponders were involved with was 1,645. And that was when the team was operating with, at the most, three coresponders, Jacobs said.

In 2021, the number of contacts was much higher: about 2,400 mental health contacts. So proportionally, the office wrote less holds in 2021 than in the prior year, a change that goes toward one of the goals of the coresponder program, Jacobs said.

“We want to make sure we’re providing the most appropriate level of care. An emergency room at a hospital” might not be best, Jacobs said.

The program tries to take people to “designated mental health facilities” if possible, and it can be beneficial if the program can get people to go to a walk-in center, she added.

Out of the nearly 4,200 calls since the program began, there were only 88 individuals arrested on scene for warrants and new charges, according to the office.

But it’s important to note that the coresponder program’s implementation came shortly before the coronavirus pandemic reached Colorado, a change that resulted in the county needing to modify the requirements for who is placed in jail, along with courts changing procedures, Delgado’s statement said.

“Many charges that a person — mentally ill or not — would generally be arrested and detained on prior to COVID-19 were released on a summons,” Delgado’s statement said. The most recent change to the jail acceptance policy was March 11 this year.

On that date, the sheriff’s office lowered the jail placement criteria so that crimes that result in $1,000 bonds and above would place a suspect in jail, according to Carl Anderson, an administrative manager with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Allowing for more suspects to be put in jail is a reaction to the spread of COVID and COVID-related hospitalizations having recently come down at the time, according to Anderson.

(In late April, Colorado Community Media asked the sheriff’s office how many of the nearly 4,200 coresponder-involved calls resulted in writing someone a ticket for an alleged law violation. The office’s records unit said it was still working on the question as of May 2.)

When a coresponder is unavailable to respond to a call, deputies can fill out a referral form for mental health staff to later follow up with the person who needed help.

At the start of the coresponder program, the sheriff’s office contracted with AllHealth Network and was assigned one part-time clinician, or coresponder, until a contract was signed in January 2020.

AllHealth Network is a nonprofit mental health organization that provides counseling, psychiatry, crisis services, substance use treatment, and other services and has locations in Littleton and elsewhere in the south Denver metro area.

The program had three coresponders and one case manager starting at that time, Jacobs said.

In January 2021, AllHealth Network and the sheriff’s office decided against resigning a contract, and with the support of the Centennial City Council and Arapahoe County Commissioners, the sheriff’s office brought the program “in house,” according to the sheriff’s office.

Three of the current coresponders are former AllHealth employees who chose to come over and work for the program “in house” — meaning they’re now employed by the sheriff’s office — and the sheriff’s office hired its other two current coresponders in October through an external job posting, Jacobs said.

Federal government to hold back water in drought-stricken Lake Powell

BY MICHAEL ELIZABETH SAKAS COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced on May 3 emergency plans to protect Lake Powell on the Utah-Arizona border by holding back water releases to downstream states.

The reservoir has plummeted to its lowest level on record amid more than 20 years of record-breaking drought in the Colorado River Basin.

This is the first time the agency has moved to delay a release of water from Lake Powell that normally goes to Arizona, California and Nevada. Instead, the federal agency plans to keep more than 480,000 acre-feet of water in the reservoir to prop up supplies to protect hydropower production.

Lake Powell, the country’s second-largest reservoir, is fed by a Colorado River storage system that supplies water and hydroelectric power to millions of people across the West. Climate change is contributing to a steep and rapid decline in the available supply of water.

Water levels in the lake have dropped close to “dead pool,” the lowest point at which Glen Canyon Dam can generate hydropower. The Bureau of Reclamation is invoking its authority to change how the

As drought conditions worsen, the federal government is taking unprecedented steps SHUTTERSTOCK to save Lake Powell.

dam and the reservoir will operate this year to help ensure the dam’s turbines keep spinning.

In a separate action announced last month, upper-basin states worked with the Bureau of Reclamation on a plan to send another 500,000 acre-feet to Lake Powell from Flaming Gorge Reservoir on the Utah-Wyoming border under their drought response agreement for the year. A similar action was taken last year when water from Flaming Gorge and Blue Mesa

Reservoir in Colorado was sent to Powell because of drought and dropping reservoir levels. There are no plans to release additional water from Blue Mesa to Lake Powell this year.

The combined nearly 1 million acre-feet added to Lake Powell will help protect the reservoir and its infrastructure over the next 12-months. Tanya Trujillo, Interior Assistant Secretary for Water and Science, said the action gives the agency more time to figure out how

to operate Glen Canyon Dam at lower water levels.

Trujillo said the move to hold water in Lake Powell was an “extraordinary action.”

“We have never taken this step before in the Colorado River Basin, but the conditions we see today and the potential risks we see on the horizon demand that we take prompt action,” she said at a May 2 press conference.

Trujillo said the 30 Native American tribes in the basin were consulted, as were the states and partners in Mexico that also rely on the Colorado River. Trujillo said the agency received “consensus support” for these actions to protect Powell.

The federal government’s move to store more water in Lake Powell is a temporary solution. Trujillo said Colorado River water users need to “immediately engage” in developing additional conservation measures, including water recycling, innovative water storage ideas and repairing aging, inefficient pipes and other water infrastructure.

“We all have to find ways to maximize efficiency and use less water,” she said.

Jared Polis injects another $5.2 million into his campaign Republicans lag Democrats in statewide contests BYSANDRAFISH THECOLORADOSUN

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, a multimillionaire, poured $5.2 million of his own money into his reelection campaign in the first four months of this year, signaling that he is willing to open his pockets to secure another four years leading Colorado.

Polis used that infusion to schedule $3.4 million worth of TV advertising for September and October.

The two Republicans running in the June 28 primary for a chance to unseat Polis are significantly lagging behind the incumbent, who spent more than $23 million to secure his first term in 2018, in fundraising.

In fact, all of the GOP candidates for statewide office are lagging behind their Democratic opponents when it comes to campaign cash.

Campaign finance reports filed with the Secretary of State’s Office on May 2 provide the first glimpse of how the June 28 primary election and the Nov. 8 general election are shaping up in terms of candidates’ financial warchests. They cover fundraising and spending from Jan. 1 through April 27.

Polis and three other Democratic incumbents are using their cash advantage already to line up TV ad time in the weeks before the general election.

And super PACs are raising money to support Democrats in three of the four statewide contests.

Meanwhile, two leading GOP candidates — Heidi Ganahl, who is running for governor, and Pam Anderson, who is running for secretary of state — spent significant sums in the first four months of the year to collect petition signatures to make the primary ballot. Both face primary opponents who made the ballot at April’s raucous GOP assembly.

And Republican Tina Peters, the indicted Mesa County Clerk running for secretary of state, had yet to file her campaign finance report as of 9 a.m.

May 3. The deadline was 10 p.m. May 2.

Here’s a deeper look at cash in Colorado’s statewide contests.

brought his total personal campaign contributions to more than $5.9 million, while also raising about $402,000 from donors despite limiting his contributions to $100 a year from individuals.

His campaign had nearly $5 million in cash on April 27, though that doesn’t reflect his spending on TV ad reservations.

Ganahl, a University of Colorado regent and the only remaining statewide elected Republican, put another $150,000 of her own money into her campaign, bringing her total fourmonth fundraising haul to nearly $377,000. She’s raised $1 million since announcing her candidacy, with $400,000 coming from her own pocket.

Ganahl originally pledged to limit her campaign spending to $3.4 million, allowing her to collect double the $1,250 contribution limit for individual donations to gubernatorial candidates.

She backed out of that pledge in late January, but not before she raised $165,000 in larger contributions from 135 donors.

The campaign paid Blitz Canvassing, a signature-gathering firm, more than $212,000 between January and March.

The campaign had a little more than $200,000 in the bank heading into May. Lopez’s fundraising lags far behind Ganahl’s. Lopez raised only $36,000 in the first four months of the year, bringing his election-cycle total to less than $106,000. And he had only $16,000 in cash at the end of April.

Then there’s Danielle Neuschwanger, who failed to make the Republican ballot at the assembly and instead is running for governor under the American Constitution Party banner. She raised nearly $73,000 in the first four months of the year and loaned her campaign another $33,000, bringing her total per-

sonal investment to nearly $69,000. She had $15,000 in cash on April 27.

As the candidates compete, the super PAC Strong Colorado for All, which supports Democrats, was sitting on $467,000 in cash at the end of April, some of it from the Democratic Governors Association. That money presumably will be used to support Polis in the fall.

Dems also lead among other statewide campaigns Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold raised nearly $875,000 between January and April 27, which her campaign says is a record since at least 2000 for a candidate for secretary of state, attorney general or treasurer in a single filing period.

That brings her election-cycle total to $2.5 million. She had more than $301,000 in cash at the end of April after reserving nearly $1.8 million worth of ad time in the weeks leading up to the election.

Peters, Griswold’s most high-profile GOP opponent and perhaps the most polarizing candidate in Colorado’s 2022 election, failed to file a campaign finance report, triggering an automatic $50 fine for each day the report is late.

A grand jury indicted Peters earlier this year in a security breach of her county’s election system. And Griswold is asking a judge to remove Peters from overseeing this year’s election, as she did in 2021.

Anderson, a former Jefferson County clerk, raised about $51,000 in the first four months of the year, paying Blitz Canvassing $70,000 over that span for petition signatures. She had only about $6,000 in the bank on April 27.

also made the GOP primary ballot in the secretary of state’s race via the state assembly, raised only about $3,100 in the first fundraising period of the year, while putting more than $53,000 of his own cash into his campaign. He had about $38,000 in cash on hand to end April.

Once her Republican opponent is set, Griswold likely will get help from Defend Democracy Fund, a super PAC created to support her that raised more than $508,000 in the first four months of the year.

Attorney General Phil Weiser raised $512,000 in the first four months of the year, bringing his election-cycle total to $3.2 million. He reserved more than $1 million in fall TV ad time, and still had $1.6 million in the bank to begin May. Weiser will face Republican John Kellner, the district attorney in the 18th Judicial District, in November. Kellner raised $106,000 in the first few months of his campaign, and had about $84,000 in cash on April 27.

Weiser can expect help from the DAGA Colorado People’s Lawyer Project, a super PAC that raised $193,000 in the first four months of the year. DAGA stands for the Democratic Attorneys General Association. It’s unclear if Republicans have a similar independent spending committee to support Kellner, though in the past the Republican Attorneys General Association has supported GOP candidates in Colorado.

The state treasurer’s contest is more low-key in terms of fundraising than the other three statewide races, but the Democratic incumbent has a similar cash advantage.

Incumbent Democratic Treasurer Dave Young raised nearly $100,000, bringing his total raised during the election cycle to $387,000. After making a $169,000 TV ad reservation, Young had about $94,000 in cash to end April.

His GOP opponent, former state representative and lieutenant governor candidate Lang Sias, raised $51,000. He had about $59,000 in cash left at the end of last month.

SPORTS Soccer win is birthday bonus

Avery Wise is captain of Legend soccer team

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Avery Wise turned 18 years old on May 5 and the Legend High School soccer captain found a cherished way to celebrate her birthday.

Wise scored her first goal of the season on a free kick in the 75th minute to give Legend a 1-0 victory over Mountain Vista in the final regular season game for both games on the Legend Titans’ blueturf field.

The senior stepped forward from 30 yards away with a line of four Mountain Vista players forming a wall 10 yards in front of her. She booted the ball low, past the wall and toward the corner of the goal.

“I just tried to keep it low and it went in,” said Wise, who noted it was a big win for a Legend program that has produced a 5273-10 record over the previous 10 seasons.

“Initially she was looking to drive it in there and beat the wall,” said Legend coach Mazen Kayali when asked about Wise’s goal. “It was a nice driven ball into the corner. She did a nice job.”

Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer felt the same.

“It was a well placed shot,” said

Echtermeyer. “It was a good goal on their part.”

Legend players sang “Happy Birthday” to Wise after the game.

It was Legend’s first victory over Vista in 11 games between the schools and the win boosted the Titans’ overall record to 13-2-0.

Mountain Vista is 10-4-1.

The teams tied for second place in the Continental League with 8-2 records behind league champion Rock Canyon.

The Legend-Mountain Vista game served as a warmup for the Colorado state soccer playoffs.

Pairings were posted May 8 and first-round Class 5A games were scheduled for May 10.

Semifinal games for 5A are set for May 19 at the University of Denver and the state championship game will be at 8 p.m. on May 25 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

“Coming into this game (against Mountain Vista) we knew were in the playoffs,” said Kayali. “We were just going for positioning.

Mountain Vista is a good school that has a good tradition with a lot of winning. We knew coming in we had a team that could compete with them.

“I knew coming into the season we had a group of girls that are very good. I knew we had the talent, we just had to put it together and play for each other.”

Mountain Vista is a perennial state power in girls soccer and has won three state championships.

“We’ll be ready for the playoffs,”

said Echtermeyer. “We’ve been in every single game we’ve played.

That’s how soccer is, sometimes it goes your way and sometimes it doesn’t.

“The girls will be ready for the playoffs. We’re excited to see who we draw in the first round. Every game is a new game. You have to play hard.”

Coach pleased with Creek volleyball outcome 26-4 season comes to end with loss to unbeaten Discover Canyon

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek boys volleyball coach Cara Quayle completed her first season on May 7.

It might have been a somewhat disappointing finish but Quayle was satisfied and thankful.

Unbeaten Discovery Canyon defeated the Cherry Creek Bruins, 3-0, to win Colorado’s second sanctioned boys volleyball state championship, which was held at Overland High School.

Discovery Canyon finished the season with a 27-0 record and the did not lose a set all season.

Cherry Creek, the top seeded team in the state meet, finished Quayle’s initial season as head coach with a 26-4 record.

“It was my first season as a head coach and I told the boys that I couldn’t have asked for a better group of boys,” said Quayle. “They fought all season long, all weekend long, and

fought hard in all three match today (Saturday), battled it out and played with played their hearts out. It’s been a great year.

“We’re looking forward to next year already. I can’t say enough about how hard they worked, the effort they put in and you could see it. That second match against Discovery Canyon, it was a battle.

“It was a great way to end the season. They fought hard.”

Cherry Creek was sent into the consolation bracket of the double elimination tourney after a 3-0 loss to Discovery Canyon in the second round on May 5. The Bruins came back with consolation wins over Eaglecrest, Bear Creek and Legend to make it into the finals.

The Bruins had to play two matches on May 7 before the championship final against the Thunder. Cherry Creek downed second seeded Bear Creek, 3-0, with 26-24, 25-16 and 25-18 wins and then eliminated No. 6 Legend, 3-1, in the consolation semifinals with 25-24, 26-24, 15-25 and 27-25 scores in the sets.

“We had to play extra matches and we were more tired physically than SEE VOLLEYBALL, P27

the other team,” added Quayle. “We had to deal with that but they still fought so hard, You couldn’t tell that they were tired. I’m proud of the way they played. They left it all on the court.”

The Bruins had leads in each set of the title match against the Thunder and there were 21 ties in the three sets.

Kevin Bray and Miles Manthe led the Bruins with nine and eight kills in the finale against the Thunder.

Jordan Cardenas had 12 digs and 24 assists.

Creek junior Lukas Rhoades, who had four blocks in the title match, was also proud despite the loss to the Thunder.

“It sure was a good season,” he said. “Discovery Canyon got the best of us but I’m proud of the boys and for the future will be sharp.

“Discovery Canyon is strong. They do a lot of fundamentals well. We tried to take away some of their big hitters (Josh Livergood and Caden Zippwald) and let them know we were up their to challenge them but overall they were a good team.”

It appeared for a while that Cherry Creek and Legend might go five sets, but the Bruins finished strong to pull out a 27-25 win in the fourth set.

“We felt like we should have beat that team,” said Legend coach Ryan Lindstrom, whose team was 22-6 this season. “Our kids played hard all week. Absolutely, I am happy with the season. It’s hard right now, but if you would have told us at the beginning of the season where we would be right now, I’d be pretty happy with it.”

Defending state champion Douglas County lost to Bear Creek and Eaglecrest and ended the season with a 17-8 record. Regis Jesuit (16-10) lost 3-2 to Cherry Creek in its first round match but downed Cherokee Trail before being eliminated by Bear Creek.
