Colorado supply of homes rises, prices still climb Ripple effects of inflation bring changes BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From June 2021 to June this year, the number of active listings for single-family homes in the Denver

metro area jumped up by about 52%. Statewide, the number saw about a 43% uptick. But despite the larger pool of options, home prices continue to climb. The median sales price rose 11% statewide in that same time, and it increased by about 11% in the Denver metro area, where the median sales price sat at a staggering $647,500 as of June.

The good news? The 11% price bump represents a notably smaller year-over-year increase than Colorado had endured each month over the past year, according to a Colorado Association of Realtors report. The jump in the supply of available homes means buyers now have a better chance of purchasing a house, but prices in metro Denver and Colorado at large remain notori-

ously expensive. “The story here, just to be frank, is not that all the sudden the market has drastically changed — it’s that it mellowed out compared to 2021 and 2020,” said Matthew Leprino, a Realtor based in metro Denver. “The current state of Colorado’s housing market is not that different from SEE HOUSING, P10

Douglas County schools welcome students back Commissioners

Teal, Laydon vote to investigate Thomas again

Superintendent is focused on educational outcomes BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District is gearing up for the start of classes, with the upcoming year expected to be similar to last year in terms of educational priorities and preparing students for their futures. Superintendent Erin Kane said she most looks forward to getting to have school buildings filled with students again after the summer break. Her focus is improving educational outcomes for all students. “We’re really excited to welcome the kids back to school, it’s our favorite time of the year,” Kane said. “We’re so optimistic to move forward and focus on what all of us went into this business to focus on, which is the kids.” Curriculum goals center around advancing literacy, developing essential skills and setting students up to be successful in college or the workforce. Kane noted there are not currently plans for curriculum changes and any proposals would

First report cost $17,000 BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two of Douglas County’s commissioners are conducting another investigation into their fellow commissioner just a few days after their previous investigation concluded. This time, Commissioners Abe Laydon and George Teal asked their staff to look into whether Commissioner Lora Thomas publicly released results from their previous investigation to a media outlet. The county paid $17,000 over the past few months to outside legal counsel to research allegations Teal and Laydon made against Thomas. Last week, they announced the investigation was complete but said

Dollars will pay for hotel conversion BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A portion of the county’s federal COVID dollars will go toward housing residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities, or IDD, after commissioners announced a partnership with Wellspring Community. Wellspring Community, a nonprofit based in Castle Rock, helps meet the social, emotional, intellectual and job-related needs of about 100 adults with disabilities in the county. Through $6.4 million of the county’s American Rescue Plan Act funding, Wellspring will convert La Quinta Hotel at 884 Park St. in Castle Rock into about 35 apartment units for independent living for their clients. The apartments will have a kitchen, bathroom, living space and bedroom and will have 24/7 support for residents. The hotel is located next to Wellspring’s main facility, allowing residents to easily participate in daily programs there. The units are planned to be an affordable option for families. “I think that this project specifically, it’s going to be more than just a housing facility,” said Wellspring Executive Director Nicole DeVries. “Because of where its located it will become more part of the community here in Castle

The organization, formed in 2008, also operates the Castle Rock Collective, a coffee shop which employs their clients. The commissioners approved the purchase in October. It is scheduled to close in October and will be functional some time next year. The commissioners have decided to focus their $68.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act, or ARPA, funding on seven areas: water and wastewater, homelessness, broadband, mental and behavioral health, wildfire suppression, economic investments and the intellectual and developmental disabilities community. “The citizens of Douglas County have made it clear that supporting persons with IDD is a high priority. Ensuring that there is a greater physical presence in this County that delivers effective services will help accomplish this goal,” Commissioner Abe Laydon, the board chair, said in a statement released by the county. favorites.

Dawson Trails proposal includes 5,800 housing units 3.2M square feet of commercial, Costco BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock officials will consider an amended plan for the 2,000-acre Dawson Trails development this month, which would include funding for the Crystal Valley Interchange and the possible construction of a Costco. Developers for Dawson Trails, Westside Investment Partners Inc., will present the proposed development plan for the area west of Interstate 25 and south of Territorial Road to the town planning commission and board in August to begin discussions of incentives and requirements. The plan lays out more than 5,800 housing units, around 750 acres of open space and 3.2 million square feet of commercial development, retail, industrial and office space. Under the proposal, the commercial and mixed-use developments would be centralized in a corridor near I-25, surrounded by more residential neighborhoods. In order to bring a Costco to Castle Rock, Dawson Trails is asking for up to $10 million in incentives for the bulk-buy store.

The Dawson Trails development, outlined in blue, proposes more than 5,800 housing units and 3.2 million square feet of commercial space. As part of the proposal, Castle Rock could offer incentives for a Costco and the developer of Dawson Trails would pay COURTESY OF TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK for road work and a new fire station.

Once open, Castle Rock could expect to see around $4-6 million annually in sales tax, which

would be the single largest tax generator locally, according to a news release from the town. The

release also noted that Longmont recently gave $10.9 million in incentives to get a Costco constructed in town. With the taxes raised, Castle Rock would have the budget for 18 more fire and police staff from 2025-2027. As part of the proposed plan, Dawson Trails would pay $50 million for the construction of the Crystal Valley Interchange, a $118 million project being done in partnership with Douglas County. Additionally, the developer would pay $4 million toward a future fire station in the area and dedicate around 230 acres for a fire station, parks, schools and town facilities. The developer would determine the construction of housing, but the Crystal Valley Interchange is scheduled to be finished in 2025 and the opening of Costco would likely be that same year, if approved. Current zoning for the Dawson Trails development would allow up to 7,900 housing units and 17.5 million square feet of commercial, retail, industrial and office space. The plan will go before the planning commission on Aug. 11 and then will be discussed by the town board at the Aug. 16 and Sept. 6 meetings, which will include public hearings.

have to be approved by the Board of Education. “I don’t anticipate any sweeping differences,” Kane said. District officials are still in the process of creating a universal pre-school program, which is a new requirement in Colorado after the passage of a law in April. Chalkbeat Colorado reports that no entities applied to the state to oversee Douglas County’s universal preschool by the initial June 24 deadline. When it comes to COVID-19 policies, Kane said the district will follow the guidance of the local Douglas County Health Department, which recently was created in 2021 after the county split from Tri-County Health Department in 2020. The health department does not have any current health orders in place regarding COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 should isolate for at least five days and unvaccinated people should quarantine for five days after a COVID-19 exposure. “We’ll just have the usual policies we have regarding any communicable disease,” Kane said. “We continue to have sick kids stay at home.” Still Colorado’s third largest school district, enrollment sits at about 64,000 students, which is

similar to the 2021-22 school year, but not yet back to pre-pandemic numbers. Kane said growth is uneven across the district, with an increasing need for new schools in Crystal Valley and Sterling Ranch, while the Highlands Ranch area sees fewer students. “We’re seeing a lot of growth in various areas, but we’re also seeing decline in various areas, so we have a little of both,” she said.

As of Aug. 2, the district’s career portal listed 496 open positions with 97 of them requiring a license. “The last two years have been really rough on teachers,” Kane said, citing the stresses of the pandemic.

Rents continue to rise along Front Range Westminster, Broomfield areas have highest costs for one-bedroom units BY KYLE HARRIS DENVERITE

Westminster was once seen as an affordable-ish landing spot for young people who could no longer pay Denver and Boulder rents. Those days may be over. Now, the Denver suburb, which has seen a mural festival, a revitalized downtown, an Alamo Drafthouse, a new Tattered Cover, and plenty of wacky events programming (ballerina dodgeball, anybody?), has the highest one-bedroom rents in the metro area. The price: $1,860, according to data pulled from active listings on the online rental site Zumper. Coming in second place: Broomfield at $1,850. Both of those cities are near Boulder County and the site of the late 2021 Marshall fires, which destroyed more than 1,100 homes and commercial properties and left many families renting as construction lagged. Centennial and Denver tied for third priciest median rent at $1,760. If you’re looking for a deal, Greeley is still significantly lower than Denver at $1,070 and Fort Collins comes in at $1,200. (But yikes, that’s still expensive. Throw in commutes to the Mile High City, and renters will be suffering.) But when it comes to two-bedroom rents, Denver’s still the priciest city, with a median rent of $2,340, followed by Broomfield, at $2,240, and Westminster, at $2,170. Plenty of other suburbs that have long been considered affordable have seen massive hikes in median rent. Take Englewood-area zip codes, where median one-bedroom rent now runs $1,290, according to Zumper’s data. That’s a 33% jump from this time last year. Nearby, the Littleton area has seen

a 24.5% rise to $1,370. Longmont, near the Marshall Fire site, saw a 23.3% increase, year over year. Statewide, median one-bedroom rent is $1,450. Data from the online Apartment List, which uses a different methodology than Zumper that leads to a different set of numbers, shows similar trends in rent-price growth in the region. National median rent has grown 12% over the past year, according to data from the online rental site Apartment List. With inflation higher than it has been in the past 40 years, higher mortgage rates and still sky-high housing prices for buyers, many people are ditching their hopes of home ownership and continuing to rent. That creates more competition for already too few rental units. On a national level, the Denver area rental market has the 71st fastest rising prices in the country’s 100 largest cities, from this time last year. Cold comfort: The trend of rising prices is hardly a local phenomenon, and nationwide, landlords are also charging more than many renters can afford.

Douglas County School Board tries to rebuild trust at retreat Goals, state of district spur discussion BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the first of two retreat sessions, Douglas County School Board directors aired concerns and discussed proposed norms in an effort to address rifts among the board and with the community. The retreat on Aug. 6 at the Legacy Campus in Parker consisted of directors outlining policy governance goals, the state of the district and what is needed to accomplish the board’s goals. Much of the discussion centered on rebuilding relationships among the board and with three key groups: teachers, parents and students. Directors Susan Meek and Elizabeth Hanson focused their comments on the lack of trust within the group and the community’s perception of the board. Meek brought up the lawsuit against the district for firing former Superintendent Corey Wise as one of the main catalysts for losing support. “I don’t know how we move forward and build trust when we have issues that we haven’t addressed or discussed as a team,” Meek said. Board majority members, Directors Mike Peterson, Becky Myers, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar, didn’t comment on the ongoing lawsuit. Myers did respond to say that trust has been lost on all sides and she was

working to address it. “We’re not the only ones being distrustful,” she said. “I know that the people you’re talking to are saying they don’t trust the board. Well, I’m hearing that same thing and getting those same conversations.” Many of Hanson’s comments were about wanting to find solutions to the loss of trust among the board and with teachers and parents, as well as suggesting better communication is crucial. She both accepted and doled out blame for the damaged relationships.

Hanson said her decisions and experience during the pandemic showed her that many parents felt unheard and she admitted to losing their trust. However, she added that the majority directors’ actions regarding firing Wise and directing new Superintendent Erin Kane to evaluate the equity policy equally upset educators in the district. “I lost part of the parents … and if we’re being really honest and candid and really looking at ourselves, you have lost part of the teachers and the educators,” she said. “We can’t be successful until we rebuild that.” In later comments, Meek said she felt many of the district’s concerns stem from the conversation about the equity policy and potential changes. Meek emphasized those conversations should stay top of mind and that she hoped to include more student voices in the equity policy discussions. “I think getting equity right and figuring out what it means for everyone to feel valued and respected and included — on the board, but also student-wise — (should be a priority),” Meek said. Hanson also pointed to the language used by the majority board directors, especially when referencing teachers, as another barrier to building trust. She cited former comments made about some teachers putting the union above education, as well as accusations of teachers being too biased or political. “There are more teachers willing to walk for your recall than for their own pay raise. That is not OK,” Hanson said. Hanson also noted that she believes the board isn’t doing enough to highlight all of the good happening within the district.

“It’s the middle that we have completely failed to communicate with and work with and show respect to,” she said. Board President Peterson thanked Hanson for her thoughts and agreed that the district could do better in focusing on positive things and communicating more clearly. For his part, Peterson said the board should focus on balance. “We do need to make sure that we balance parent voice and honoring our teachers and giving them the ability to do what they do best, which is teach our kids,” he said. “I would like to concentrate on that balance and I know I have work to do in that area, especially the words and messaging to teachers.” He acknowledged that some of his past comments could have come off as derogatory, even if that’s not what he intended. “I’ve been imprecise with my language and I’ve had people come back to me and say ‘Mike, it sounds like you’re not appreciative of teachers,’ and I’m totally appreciative of teachers and what they’ve been through,” he said. While discussing communication breakdowns, Peterson and Myers said some of their comments were misinterpreted or taken out of context. One example Peterson gave was the community perception that the board drastically changed the equity policy when it asked the superintendent to evaluate it. “We didn’t rescind it, we didn’t change it, we didn’t alter it, we still have the same policy in place,” he said. Peterson also addressed Hanson’s comments about his actions regarding Wise’s firing, noting there was a mutual loss of trust at the time. Hanson said she felt disrespected when Peterson didn’t inform her about his plan to meet with Wise to discuss his job. Peterson responded that he felt disrespected by the special meeting called in response to that meeting. “If I could go back and replay that and have done things differently, would I? Yeah, I would, with the 20/20 hindsight from where we are today,” he said. “I still believe that I would have cast the same vote at the end of a different process.” Myers, David Ray, Winegar and Williams did not speak to the current state of the board. Winegar did say she felt the district’s monitoring reports will be crucial to keeping track of accomplishments and areas of concern, while Williams said she wanted to know what each director needed to move forward. At press time, the board was to continue its retreat on Aug. 9, where the agenda includes setting norms.

they wouldn’t make the full results public. The county’s public records office responded to a request from Colorado Community Media for the document by saying it was considered “confidential attorney client privilege.” On July 29, CBS Colorado aired a story in which they showed the opening page of the report and referenced specific lines from it. Thomas was interviewed in the story. Teal made a motion Tuesday morning to conduct another investigation into whether Thomas released the document to CBS. Laydon seconded that motion and the two voted in favor of it. They then passed another motion directing their legal counsel to “provide enforcement options” if it’s found Thomas did release the document. Thomas left the meeting early and wasn’t present for the votes or discussion. County attorney Lance Ingalls told Teal and Laydon it’s possible that because one media outlet has the document, it may not be able to be considered privileged anymore. He also discussed another argument the county has heard that the document shouldn’t be kept private after commissioners have read from and discussed it in public.

Douglas County Commissioners Lora Thomas, Abe Laydon and George Teal.

Both Teal and Laydon said they would like to still see the document kept from the public. “I have nothing to hide,” Laydon said. He added that he doesn’t want the names of county staff members discussed in the report made public to protect them. Teal and Laydon asked for an investigation into Thomas in April after they said she violated the board’s direction by asking their legal counsel for names of supporters of a controversial water proposal from the San Luis Valley. The proposal, from Renewable Water Resources, had strong opposition in the southern

Colorado community and Laydon expressed concern for its supporters. The investigation found that Thomas gave direction to the county’s legal staff that was “contrary to a prior vote” by asking for the names of supporters Laydon planned to meet with. The report also looked into allegations that Thomas created a hostile work environment and caused the resignation of a first responder in the county by distributing an anonymous letter received by the county that detailed concerns about employees of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The investigation found that

Thomas did distribute that letter but didn’t determine who wrote it, according to the county’s announcement. “The investigation found that it was more likely than not that Commissioner Thomas did not create a hostile work environment or cause the discharge of a former employee,” according to the public announcement. Thomas did not reply to a request for comment for this story. An executive session, or closeddoor meeting, titled “investigation update” was scheduled for the commissioners Aug. 9 at 9:15 a.m. Results from the meeting were not available at press time.

age Remingo in metro Denver. Net migration into Colorado in 2020 is estimated at 27,000, according to the state Demography Office’s website. That’s the lowest number since 2005, according to the site, and represents a large drop from recent years.

2019.” Already sky-high housing prices saw a spike after the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, but the effects of inflation now appear to be pressing the brakes on homebuying — at least partly. “As fears of inflationary pressures reach households through the grocery store and gas pump, home buyers have adopted a more cautious attitude,” Cooper Thayer, a Douglas County Realtor, said in the association’s report. Early pandemic years affected demand Surging prices for consumer goods such as gas and food helped catapult U.S. inflation to a new four-decade peak in June, the Associated Press reported. Inflation can occur when demand for a good exceeds the production capacity for that good, driving up prices. It can also happen when production costs increase and result in price hikes, for example. The government fights inflation by raising what are called interest rates, or the amount a lender charges a borrower for a loan. A country’s central bank — such as the Federal Reserve in the U.S. — causes interest rates to rise or fall. By sharply raising interest rates, the Fed hopes to tamp down consumer demand. Higher rates will make it more expensive to carry a credit card balance, get a car loan or buy a house, National Public Radio reported. The hike in interest rates is a main factor driving the increase in the pool of available homes, but the dizzying level of housing prices themselves appears to be slowing demand down too, Leprino said. “I wouldn’t say it was totally unexpected. You can’t have the kind of price appreciation that we’ve had” and not see a slowdown at some point, said Leprino, using a term for an increase in price. In July 2021, the metro Denver area saw an 18% increase in median sales price compared to the prior year. Statewide, the increase in that time was nearly 19%, sitting at $525,000. When looking at the current market, the public should “remember that 2021 was an exceptional year for real estate, fueled by historically low interest rates and unprecedented buyer demand,” Durango-area Realtor Jarrod Nixon said in the report.

When employers decided employees didn’t have to be in the office amid the pandemic, some people had more flexibility in where they were going to live and drove up suburban home prices, Ron Throupe, an associate professor of real estate, said in a University of Denver article. People suddenly began looking at housing in new ways, Leprino said. “It was their office, their home, their gym, their schools for the kids, and suddenly people needed way more space,” Leprino added. Home prices ‘always go up’ But housing prices had been on a steep upward swing for years in Colorado even before the pandemic. “I think everybody’s spent the past 14 years or so waiting for the next shoe to drop,” wondering whether a new housing recession will occur, Leprino said. But “we’ve just gone down to a simmer now,” Leprino added. The yearslong stretch of high housing prices in Colorado — particularly in metro Denver — raises the question: When will housing become more affordable again? In the historical trend of home prices, there may be short-term regressions in price: 2007 and the next couple years are good examples, Leprino said. “But by 2014, we had more than rebounded the prices of what they would have already been had the dip not taken place,” Leprino continued. “In a long-term scenario, (housing prices) always go up,” Leprino added. One factor that makes the housing market so stubborn: Colorado has

long been an attractive destination for people moving from out of state. Colorado experienced a positive “net migration” during the 25 years dating back to the early 1990s, according to a 2018 article from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Net migration is the difference between the number of people coming into and the number of people leaving an area. An estimated one-third of net migrants that came to Colorado from 2010 to 2016 were from California, Illinois and New York, while migrants left Colorado for Wyoming, South Carolina and Arkansas. Overall, Colorado attracted more individuals than it lost from most states, according to the reserve bank article. “Denver has been such a draw for people for so long because it was inexpensive, because it’s clean, because it’s safe,” but those attributes aren’t quite as true today, Leprino said. While Leprino notes that he is not an economist, he guessed that demand from people who want to move to metro Denver from outside of Colorado — as well as demand from people wanting to move to metro Denver from other places within Colorado — could theoretically decrease based on a myriad of factors. Chief among those could be crime, cost of living, quality of education, and aspects such as traffic or access to jobs, Leprino said. “I don’t think (Denver’s quality of life) is in jeopardy but do see that either demand going down because of these factors or more building — or a combination of both — would ease housing shortages,” said Leprino, who is CEO of the real-estate broker-

Workers’ pay not keeping pace Fewer buyers bought homes in Denver this June than any time over the previous six months, according to the Realtors association report. The downtick in sales is a cause of the increased inventory, or available housing, according to the report. Meanwhile, the rate of new housing construction isn’t making much of a difference, Leprino said. “I don’t think it’s making any difference whatsoever in prices,” Leprino said, adding that “we are so far behind” in housing supply. He didn’t want to speculate regarding how much more construction it would take to make housing more affordable. Because housing prices always go up in the long term, the Colorado Association of Realtors says purchasing real estate is a strong investment “because you’re never going to lose money” in the long term, Leprino said. The other side of that coin: Homebuying only grows further out of reach for people living on lower incomes, particularly because the rise in housing prices in recent decades far outstrips the increase in what American families earn. In the last decade, the median home price rose roughly 30% and incomes crept up just 11% over the same time period, according to a Bankrate analysis of data from the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index, CNBC reported in 2021. Over 50 years, the difference is even starker. After accounting for inflation, home prices have jumped 118% since 1965, while income has only increased by 15%, according to a separate report by online brokerage Clever Real Estate, based on census data, CNBC reported. Throupe, the associate University of Denver professor, said in the DU article that “there’s no one solution” to the housing crisis. “It’s going to have to be a group of items for getting people into property. It’s not one size fits all,” Throupe said in the article. “Some of it is government programs. Some of it is cooperation. They need to expand SEE HOUSING, P11

Since you asked ...

’ve been writing this column for years, and I often get a few email or in-person responses, mostly positive, but sometimes opposing views, of course. I love that. It shows me we live together in a community full of diverse thought. But that’s usually. Last month, my post-Roe column drew several opposing responses in the form of letters to the editor and emails. It is clear that this issue draws passionate beliefs and feelings. But I thought it fascinating that all of those were written by men, supposedly people without the physical capability to have an abortion or become pregnant. Now, why would men be so interested in allowing the government to tell a person with a uterus what they are not allowed to do with their body? One man accused me of being

“hyperbolic” as I admitted I had painfully bawled with my children after the decision. And another told me via email that I was a “CNN fake.” What do you think that’s about? Why would someone assume I’m not tellLinda Newell ing the truth about my emotions? Is it because they don’t express any themselves, and thus, simply don’t comprehend why someone would cry over the government wanting to control their body? Or, perhaps it’s because they don’t have any empathy for women who don’t want to be pregnant or emotionally can’t be pregnant. When I went through my chap-

GUEST COLUMN

laincy training in seminary, I deepened my understanding and use of a trauma-informed approach with others. Acknowledging patients’ stress, anxiety, or any emotion stemming from their lived experiences became especially critical as I served those different from me. It helped me become more empathic with male patients who were vulnerably sitting in a hospital gown attempting to deal with their health predicament. Considering the trauma they were experiencing helped me develop empathy for them even though I was not a male or ill. This, of course, helped me serve them more effectively as they felt more comfortable sharing and expressing their inner feelings. We were also taught that there’s nothing better in relating to others than similar lived experiences. For

instance, I fully knew that it was not my place to give men advice on their emotions about erectile dysfunction. I needed to simply listen, honor the fact that I could not possibly know the emotional pain they were going through, but acknowledge it anyway. So, going back to the all-male responses on my post-Roe column, perhaps what’s needed for us to work through this together is a bit of empathy and acknowledging the real trauma many women are going through right now.

on existing programs and other programs to fit different needs.” The Colorado Association of Realtors defines the seven-county Denver metro area as Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties. The association’s most recent report as of early August, dated July 13, is based on June 2022 numbers.

A combination of factors boosted inflation to such high levels. After the coronavirus pandemic led to lockdowns and other restrictive measures that disrupted global supply chains — and governments issued stimulus checks and increased unemployment benefits to blunt the impact of those measures on individuals and small businesses — the post-vaccine economy bounced back, and demand quickly outpaced supply, according to the website

Investopedia. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 led to a series of economic sanctions and trade restrictions on Russia, limiting the world’s supply of oil and gas, according to the financial information site. At the same time, food prices rose as Ukraine’s large grain harvests could not be exported. As fuel and food prices rose, it led to similar increases down the value chains, according to the site.

WHAT REAL-ESTATE PROFESSIONALS AROUND METRO AREA ARE SEEING “Interestingly, while the singlefamily market in Douglas County continues to slow down, the townhouse/condo market accelerated, likely due to buyers being priced out of single-family homes,” Douglas County-area Realtor Cooper Thayer said in a report by the Colorado Association of Realtors.

VOICES Cough it up

few months ago, Douglas County commissioners Abe Laydon and George Teal decided to come together and vote to have fellow commissioner Lora Thomas investigated. In the April vote, Laydon and Teal removed Thomas as chair of the board and wanted her investigated for conduct after she allegedly circulated an anonymous letter criticizing employees of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Apparently, they felt was doing things for her own political FROM THE Thomas advantage. EDITOR Fast forward to July and the $17,000 report is now completed. However, while taxpayers funded the latest episode between Thomas and the two male commissioners – It appears Teal and Laydon are not as excited about letting the people read it. After an executive session to discuss the report’s finding, Thomas publicly stated she wanted the report released. The other two disagreed, calling it “privileged and confidential.” Here’s the problem — you want to use taxpayer Thelma Grimes money to act like three children fighting over who gets to go first on the dodgeball court — you don’t get to decide to keep it all secret. Douglas County is a highly educated community and citizens can easily read through the report and decide for themselves what they think. Secondly, if that report had stated Thomas was indeed guilty of the allegations — Commissioners Teal and Laydon would have voted so fast to release it to the public. But because the nearly $20,000 venture seems to be nothing but a big waste of time and money — they are not so eager to show their cards. Instead, Laydon and Teal believe the county coffers are this open pit of money to continue carrying out vendetta after vendetta. Now, they must investigate how the report got out to a TV station. Let’s call it a waste of money because as of right now, our reporter, Elliott Wenzler, should be reading the report. As of right now, any member of the public who has requested it, should be reading it. Spending more money to get back at Thomas is childish and should only happen if Laydon and Teal want to fund it themselves. On his Twitter page last week, Laydon talked about how the report showed things Thomas had done wrong. How it proved her wrongdoing, but he didn’t believe it should be public. Sorry gentlemen, you do not get to vote and spend the money and then hold all the power on who can and cannot see it. It’s called transparency, and if you cannot live with the results of the can of worms you opened — you should find another line of work. Now, looking at the bigger picture. The ongoing feud between the three of you has grown tiresome. The reports of you all yelling at each other during business hours in your offices is ridiculous. The way you treat each other in meetings is unprofessional and unacceptable. Citizens of Douglas County deserve better than how all three of the commissioners treat each other. The will of the people voted all of you into the seats you are currently sitting in. All of you need to respect each other and the fact that the people voted for each of you. To citizens — I say it may be time to research options on how this three-member board can be turned into five. With five members, the bullying, bickering and continued nonsense may stop when two do not have the opportunity to go against one at every turn. As of press time, the report had not been made public. The commissioners were supposed to discuss the issue further this week. I can only hope they chose the right path in terms of transparency and the public’s right to know.

Finding smoother air through the turbulence

ll of us who have flown have experienced turbulence. Some of us experience anxiety and fear as we drive our fingernails into the armrest or the arms of the person sitting next to us. Many regular flyers have come to know and trust in the pilots and aircraft and are confident that we are okay. While some even treat the turbulence like a thrill ride or roller coaster. On a flight from Denver to Phoenix several years ago, our plane went through incredibly intense turbulence. My seatmate was not a frequent flyer and was already anxious about the trip, and the choppy air had her holding onto the armrests with a whiteknuckled death grip. And when the plane took a tremendous jump, her fingernails left the armrest, and she immediately dug them into my forearm. Is there turbulence in the world? Absolutely. This is not a shock to anyone. When pilots experience turbulence, they attempt to find smoother air, and most times, they seek higher altitudes to see if they can get us to less bumpy airspace so we can feel better and have a more enjoyable remainder of our flight. I have noticed throughout my life that when faced with turbulent or difficult times, situations, or people, looking for a higher altitude means taking the high road. And I would have to say that by finding a higher altitude in

almost every turbulent and trying situation, taking the high road has made all the difference in finding that smooth air so we can move on with a more enjoyable and safer flight through life.

Michael Norton We all eventually go through seasons of life that are incredibly hard, causing us great pain physically, mentally, and spiritually. And for so many of us, we react hastily and maybe even angrily instead of taking a moment, responding favorably as we look for the onramp to the high road. And by the way, I can share with you that when taking the high road, we never run into a traffic jam as many people would prefer to stay in the fight or keep perpetuating an argument, failing to find smoother air and peaceful resolutions. There are undoubtedly turbulent global situations that we cannot influence at all. Yet we can still find a higher ground or a higher altitude to try and maintain order and find peace.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Release the pricey report Two Douglas County commissioners’ vendetta against their fellow commissioner, Lora Thomas, has crossed the line into obsession. Incredibly, Laydon and Teal refuse to release the investigative report into Thomas’ behavior for which taxpayers paid $17,000, because, as CBS news revealed, the report found her actions were “not only legal but harmless.” Laydon and Teal, incensed that taxpaying citizens are demanding they release the report exonerating Thomas, have stooped to ordering another investigation — this time into whether Thomas gave the report to CBS reporter Shaun Boyd. This is outrageous. Laydon read portions of the report at the Aug. 2 board meeting. According to the county attorney, the fact that a media outlet has the report, coupled with Laydon’s reading part of it, could cancel his and Teal’s claim of attorney-client privilege that they’re using as an excuse to keep the report secret. Secrecy seems to be a specialty of Laydon and Teal. The two also voted to keep secret a report by water expert and attorney Stephen Leonhardt against the scheme from the Renewable Water Resources (RWR) investor group to pipe water from the parched San Luis Valley to Douglas County. Thomas opposed the plan that would cost

the county millions and spend years in water court, and Teal supported it — incidentally, his wife works for the largest developer in Colorado, Richmond American Homes. Laydon and Teal now are preventing the citizens they claim to serve from seeing the Lora Thomas report. July 27, the two released a summary that absurdly tried to condemn Thomas for her actions that the report concluded were lawful and not harmful. One was her asking attorney Leonhardt to collect names and affiliations of individuals attending a meeting Laydon had arranged in the San Luis Valley without Commissioner Thomas. All three commissioners have every right to ask who is attending such meetings; however, Laydon and Teal voted to keep that information secret because, said Laydon, farmers there feared retaliation for supporting the RWR project. But of the six attending, three were major RWR players and investors who would make millions if the RWR project was approved, including former governor Bill Owens and Sean Tonner. I ask citizens to email Laydon (alaydon@douglas.co.us) and Teal (gteal@douglas.co.us) urging them to release the Thomas report and reinstate her as chair. Their baseless attacks are infuriating citizens who feel like fools for electing them and damaging the reputation of

Douglas County. Joy Overbeck, Parker End bias against renters I could not agree more with editor Thelma Grimes’ column “A Sad Reality” (July 28) in which she cited the unfortunate, negative perceptions of those who rent their homes in our community. Many citizens cannot afford their own homes in Colorado. Many prefer to rent. Regardless, people need a place to live. Perhaps these complainers would prefer that people live on the street. The height of elitist snobbery is the assumption that renters are riff-raff who lower our property values simply by existing. For all the talk of love, peace and acceptance, let’s walk the walk. Hilary Osborne, Parker DCSD board majority not for community Regarding the story “Law enforcement investigating DCSD board members over allegations of perjury”: What Douglas County School

Board President Mike Peterson et al don’t want you to know is their prime allegiance isn’t to the Douglas County community. Rather, they kowtow to the Koch network and Colorado’s ultra-conservative think-tanks such Leadership Program of the Rockies, Independence Institute and Mountain States Legal Foundation. Peterson et al have appeared on Fox News and other rightwing outlets, not because they are stellar public servants; their elevated publicity is the product of the dark-monied Koch Network/Donors Trust influence and propaganda. Peterson et al accuse Mr. Marshall of frivolous, selfserving lawsuits. What they fail to acknowledge is this — the community and its plain ole citizens have underwritten Marshall’s courageous acts, and we’ll continue to provide our resources. By the way, Marshall has yet to lose even one suit he’s brought against the county and school district. “Batting 1000,” I guess we’re saying. Carolyn Williamson, Parker

Immersive art has found its place in Denver, bringing audiences through the screen and onto the stage BY ANDREW FRAIELI AFRAIELI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

eethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” is immersive, drawing the listener into a carefully crafted soundscape of strung-out emotions and mountains crashing. Salvador Dali’s “Melting Clocks” is immersive, transporting the viewer to a surreal world of heat and time amuck. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” is immersive, throwing the reader into an age of bootlegging, jazz and prosperity before the Great Depression. Any great work of art is immersive — what differentiates these classics from today’s definition of immersive art is a matter of purpose and choice. An audience chooses how they interact with the art, the art giving them the agency to act on that and what that art, this medium, can impress onto the audience because of it. “We wanted to give [the audience]

agency, but also to create a contextualized experience so they aren’t just sitting in the dark half of a theater, but are part of the event, because they are moving their eyeballs and ear canals in the world,” said Patrick Mueller, Denver-native, and artistic director at Control Group Productions, a production company based out of Lakewood. The company’s most recent project, “The End,” came to a close in Denver last month after bringing its audiences far from a darkened theater, forcing them to smell the refineries in Commerce City and walk around fallen bricks in an abandoned hideout, all on a Mad Maxesque bus touting other survivors in a post-apocalyptic climate change warning story. The goal, according to Mueller, was to give “an experience of what it feels like at the precipice of a de-civilizing moment, something

falling apart in a serious way.” But to impress that weight on the audience, he said the immersion was “crucial.” Audience becomes involved “It feels like people are looking at it in the face at this point, but they still aren’t figuring out how to change behavior,” he said. Really, he elaborated, the show allows people to be involved, to see themselves inside this crisis in a way that screen or theater cannot do, a way that forces people to look it in the face and “not having it be this virtuosity that is celebrated by distancing and elevating it onto the stage.” But Mueller sees the style doing even more than that single project’s goal: “We can offer what people are most hungry for, if they actually think about it — a rich experience that they’re part of, a social interaction for people that may spend their

whole day working from home — being out in the world and experiencing it really differently.” And for Zach Martens, co-founder of OddKnock, that is practically the goal of the production company’s work. “Coming through the pandemic, everyone has been isolated and gotten very used to it, and gotten used to spending a lot of time in front of Netflix,” he said. “People are being trained to sit still and isolated, and those are the two things that I think will destroy humanity the fastest.” OddKnock’s latest project (which also closed in Denver last month) was “From on High,” an absurd satire that brought the audience into an ‘80s office full of co-workers with an almost religious fervor for profits, and an obsessive work ethic. Slowly, as the work “week” goes on, SEE ART, P15

ART the co-workers become more and more unhinged. But people are free to explore the office and interact with their “coworkers” and fellow audience members alike. As people are dragged left and right for different tasks, audience members have those close interactions with strangers and are pushed to involve themselves. To Martens, it’s a “massive win for us, because then you go home and realize you really felt something. For that brief moment a complete stranger touched me, patted my hand and made me do something, and that just doesn’t happen anymore,” he said. He added that people disengage with the world around them until they decide otherwise. “And I think we’re saying, ‘Engage, engage, engage,’” he said. The show itself gives people choices, he explained. To not be a cog in a machine like it may feel like in everyday life, even if the show is a stringent office setting. “But by putting them in that position we’re saying, ‘Do you like this? Do you feel this? This is what you do every single day of your life,’” Martens said. “We’re just saying, ‘Look, this is the world we’re living in, do you agree? Do you want this? If you don’t, make a choice about it.’” These choices, this interaction, this is what the immersive art does, according to Martens. “That’s why we do what we do: You can’t smell or touch or taste anything that’s happening on a Netflix show.” Body movement a major element In both shows, interpretive dance was a vessel of emotion, a push to the plot, and another way of pushing the audience through the screen and into the show. It makes the audience realize “all the things that our bodies can do in action, because we’re right there, we can see the hair follicles, and the sweat beads, and maybe even smell the person,” according to Mueller. “I think as an immersive audience member, it reminds me of my own body’s capacities,” he continued, an ideal shared by Martens. More than just reminding the audience of their body’s capabilities, though, there’s also the mind’s capabilities. “We want to create spaces that allow people to see their creative potential and how much they are a creative being,” said Chadney Everett, senior creative director of Convergence Street at Denver’s Meow Wolf and lead designer of House of Eternal Return at Meow Wolf Santa Fe. “...not only being a creative being, but also how necessary they are to the environments they create.” At Meow Wolf, artists create environments, Everett said. Worlds that “really allow you to feel like you’ve been transported to another place, and therefore free you to express yourself in a different way in that space.” The immersion allows a “mar-

riage” of the audience and what they created, creating something new and better, he explained. Like a tree falling in the forest with no one there to hear it, the art — the environments — don’t “exist until the audience comes and interacts with it, and brings it to life with their unique perspective,” he said. The start of Denver’s immersive art scene is before Meow Wolf, OddKnock and Control Group Productions came to town, according to Mueller. “There was a really particular point in time that immersive had a big moment of entering public consciousness in Denver, and there were a lot of factors involved in that, but specifically, Charlie Miller’s Off-Center production of ‘Sweet and Lucky,’” he said. “Sweet and Lucky,” in which Mueller was a cast member, premiered in 2016 by Third Rail Projects and was commissioned by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Off-Center program. Created by Zach Morris, “Sweet and Lucky” was an immersive theatrical piece described by Westword at the time as “designed to take you out of your everyday reality and deposit you in a shifting, dreamlike world where memories come and go and you occasionally find yourself doubting your own senses.” “It’s had a big effect on the fact that Denver is now a fairly major hub for immersive art and performance,” Mueller continued. This exiting of reality had been a running thread through these immersive pieces since. “But I think a lot of the impulse that is driving the local scene is the fact that Coloradans are highly active people,” Mueller said. “They spend a lot of time outdoors, have a very socially focused recreational lifetime around breweries and distilleries and food and nightlife.” With no deep tradition of live theater, according to Mueller, immersive is a way of bridging the gap between “that feeling of it’s for grandma, or snooty New Yorkers.” It brings the audience shoulder to shoulder with the performers, who rely on the audience’s reaction to propel a scene. Meanwhile, a gallery may be the perfect setting for paintings, Everett explained. “The white walls ask me to focus on that piece — taking away all other information around it is exactly right for that thing.” Everett also is a writer, musician and painter, who says of those art forms: “They do all work, but in different ways. They each serve their own function.” Really, immersive art should be used because it’s the best tool for the job, according to Mueller. Even within immersive art, there is a difference in approaches and goals. But the main difference that Mueller sees between the types of projects is their purpose. “I definitely find a different value in work that talks about the human condition in a way that addresses social ills and social justice,” he explained. “I’m interested in art that makes people do and be better in their world.”

Latin American roots on display at DAM Millennial artists exhibit works in Denver until March BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Raphael Fonseca, associate curator at the Denver Art Museum in a new position underwritten by John and Sandy Fox, opened a new exhibit: “Who Tells a Tale Adds A Tail,” a collection of modern and contemporary art from Latin America, on July 31. Nineteen millennial generation

artists (born 1981-1996) from around the world who identify as having Latin American roots were commissioned to create new works for the special exhibition, which runs through March 5, 2023. These works were “to be in dialogue with the unique architecture of the Denver Art Museum, with technology to ideas surrounding identity, to broader social and political issues.” Contributing artists were originally from Ecuador, Mexico, Bolivia, Guatemala, Peru, Argentina, Santo Domingo, Venezuela, Haiti and the U.S. Created in both two- and three-dimensional techniques, they are a far cry from the well-known portrait if Cortez

one may think of as Latin American art. The somewhat sinister “Vigilante Extended” by Vitoria Cribb, which has been used for a promotional image for the exhibit, is a still from a video that a visitor is inclined to watch more than once — fascinating storytelling in big, bright images. Who is this person??? “U.S.A. (a spaceship)” is a large black sculptural work by Andres Pereira Paz, who lives and works between Mexico City and Berlin. The image is said to refer to decolonization, which is of high interest in Bolivia, where it is “a daily practice,” according to the artist. Almost two thirds of the population identify

CinemaQ aims to unite, enlighten

here’s never been an entirely safe time to live life as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, but some historical moments are more difficult than others. But no matter what the national mood is, its always important to celebrate the lives and loves of the community members. That’s just what Denver Film’s annual CinemaQ Film Festival has been doing for the last 14 years and that commitment remains as strong as ever in its first in-person event since the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’re very excited to be doing this in-person after two virtual events,” said Keith Garcia, artistic director at the Sie FilmCenter. “Though we were able to present some really great films virtually, there’s nothing like sharing the screen space with other people, experiencing the story at the same time and talking about it afterward.” The 14th annual CinemaQ Film Festival runs at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave., from Thursday, Aug. 11 through Sunday, Aug. 14. Both passes and individual tickets are available. One of the most exciting about this year’s event is that for the first time, the festival will be presenting the inaugural CinemaQ — LaBahn Ikon Film Award to actor, writer and producer Colman Domingo (“Zola,” “Euphoria” and “Fear the Walking Dead”). The award is named after presenting sponsor William LaBahn. “We’ve always been caught in a

little box being a `small’ festival, but it doesn’t have to be that way,” Garcia explained. “We want to celebrate future icons in the queer community.” Domingo will be on hand for the screening of “New Moon,” the animatClarke Reader ed short film which he wrote, produced and stars in. The screening will be held at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 12, and will include a reception, career clips package tribute to Domingo and an in-depth conversation between the actor and arts writer Lisa Kennedy. The festival proper features 14 films, which run the gamut from comedies and dramas to documentaries and restored films. The event kicks off with “The Sixth Reel,” including a post-screening Q&A session with co-writers and directors Charles Busch and Carl Andress. Other highlights include the documentary “Jeannette,” which tells the story of Pulse Nightclub shooting survivor Jeannette Feliciano, and “Loving Highsmith,” which examines the life of American novelist Patricia Highsmith and the challenges she faced leading a double life in the public eye. “I hope the festival serves as a reminder that we all have more in common than differences,” Garcia said. “For me, the roots of CinemaQ are the three v’s’ — queer vision,

COMING ATTRACTIONS

queer voices and queer visibility. When you put all three together, you get stories that are as much for the recognition and identification of the community as they are opportunities for exploration for the nonqueer audience.” Get the full schedule and tickets at www.denverfilm.org. Spend an evening at the park with the LSO The Lakewood Symphony Orchestra is celebrating the wonders of summer with its second annual “Pops in the Park,” concert, which will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 13, at Belmar Heritage Park, 801 S. Yarrow St. in Lakewood. Much like last year’s successful event, the concert will feature a variety of pop, movie, classical and patriotic music. Em’s Ice Cream truck will be onsite for the purchase of delicious ice cream treats, and the combination of a perfect outdoor setting, delicious food and top-notch music makes this the quintessential summer activity. Secure tickets for this great show by calling 303-987-7845 or visit www. lakewoodsymphony.org. Japanese restaurant in RiNo Metro-area residents looking for the latest in delicious dining won’t want to miss the Japanese sandwich pop-up Sandoitchi, which will be setting up shop at RiNo’s Zeppelin Station, 3501 Wazee St., through Aug. 27. Founded in 2020 by chef Stevie Nguyen, previously with Momofuku

Ko, Morimoto and Uchi, Sandoitchi has opened a string of pop-ups over the past year in Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New Orleans, according to provided information. During its run, diners can sample the Egg Salad, Hot Truffle Chicken Katsu and Fruit + Cream Sando, among many others. Pre-orders can be placed at www. sandoitchi.menu, so don’t miss this chance.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Decemberists at Mission Ballroom The Decemberists are one of the more interesting success stories in indie rock. You don’t often expect a successful group to be one that creates epic ballads on historical events and deep dives into ancient folklore. And yet, that’s just what the group has done over its 20-year career. For me, albums like “The Crane Wife” and “What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World,” are bulletproof classics, and those are just two of the band’s eight albums. As part of their wonderfully named “Arise from the Bunkers” tours, the group will be stopping at Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 12. They’ll be joined by Jake Xerxes Fussell, making this a night of alternative folk you won’t soon forget. Get tickets at www.axs.com. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail. com.

violent responses, chaos, and confusion. My encouragement is that when we find ourselves right in the middle of it, we can stop, pause, and remember to find a higher altitude and smoother air by taking the high road. There is a classic and great song by Buffalo Springfield titled “For What It’s Worth.” And some lyrics should remind us of what’s happening around us and that we can find our way to being less combative, more cooperative, less angry, and more agreeable, even if it is agreeing that we can disagree. The lyrics go like this, “There’s battle lines being drawn, nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.” Instead of rushing to judgment

where we feel others are wrong, we should try to navigate through the turbulence by finding a higher altitude. Stephen Covey and others have encouraged us to “Seek first to understand and then to be understood.” Many have forgotten this effective technique and only look to push their agenda, beliefs, and opinions. How about you? Have you experienced a smoother ride through the turbulence by taking the high road? Or could you use a little reminder to help you find higher altitude and smoother air? Either way, I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ xinnix.com, and when we can navigate through the turbulence, it will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful president of XINNIX, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

This Is Buddy, he is around 12 years old, he is a little rescue approx. 8lbs Black with white around his little mouth. He is going blind, he had a app0intment with A vet that specializes in eye surgery, 2 days after he went missing, he had all his teeth out due to prior neglect. Buddy is the sweetest little guy; we feel certain he is in someone's house in Lone Tree. His vest was found along the walking path in Lone tree all laid out nice and neat, only a human could have done that whoever has him or knows who him has please be kind and call or take him to the Lone Tree police. He is chipped and is so very much loved and missed. Buddy went missing this past March 3rd, I am offering a $500 dollar reward for him. Please call 303-507-9533

‘Friendship is the most important thing’ Highlands Ranch resident going strong at 100 BY MADDIE BROWNING SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Yvette Gunther, Highlands Ranch resident, said her best friend is her dog, Toby. Tiaras line the shelves of a display case near a small white couch. A great grandchild’s painting of a bouquet of flowers is displayed proudly in the hallway. Photo albums containing snippets of a woman’s life lay scattered across the coffee table. No matter how many years pass, she always has a smile on her face. After 100 years of life, two husbands, five children, and many roles including Spanish teacher, dancer, AARP volunteer and decorated pageant queen, Highlands Ranch resident Yvette Gunther hasn’t let any time go to waste. Gunther turned 100 years old on July 30, celebrating with 80 friends and family members at Mount Vernon Canyon Club west of Golden. “I have a lot of friends. You know, you accumulate them over the years,” said Gunther. Before the party, Gunther described how she planned to dance with her performing group, Cream of the Crop, which started when she lived in Littleton. Three of the original members are still involved and would be dancing with her. Gunther also takes Chinese ribbon dancing lessons from instructor Christina Ye and planned to perform her own dance.

Before her time in Colorado, Gunther grew up in British Columbia and attended an all-girls boarding schools from age 6 to 12. “I graduated number one in my class, and guess what I won? Four years of another girls school in California, and I wouldn’t take it,” said Gunther. She decided to attend the University of Washington instead for general studies. Gunther spent the summer after her senior year working in Seattle while living at her sorority house. That’s when she met her first husband, Carl Gunther, who was a navy officer at the time, on a blind date. She followed Carl to Colorado to

meet his family, and he proposed to her in the mountains. “Then we came back here and raised our family in Littleton. It was a very nice place to live. And finally, we moved to Highlands Ranch,” she said. After 59 years of marriage, Carl died, and Gunther joined a widows’ club where she met her second husband, Calvin Wilson. “This fellow came up to me and asked if I’d go out with him and I said, ‘No, I don’t know you.’ So, he waited a few months and asked me if I’d go out with him, and I did,” said Gunther. She was married to Wilson for nine and a half years before he died. Gunther said both of her

husbands loved her very much and she was lucky to have two wonderful people take care of her. Gunther has been very involved in the community over the years, founding chapters of Toastmasters in Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and Parker. “It’s a great organization where you learn to speak,” said Gunther. “I was made president of three clubs at one time, and I thought, ‘Oh my goodness, I need to have some experience talking in front of people,’ so I started Toastmasters.” She taught kindergartners in Denver for a few years, including one year of Spanish. “The next year they said, ‘You have to take the test now to see if you can pass,’ and I said, ‘I don’t think I can pass the test,’ so I dropped out quick,” said Gunther. Gunther volunteered for AARP for many years, founding two chapters in Colorado. She also competed as a senior pageant queen, winning Miss Senior Colorado in 1998 among others. Now, Gunther attends an aerobics class every Monday and Thursday with her friends and walks her dog and best friend, Toby, every day. She said maintaining good friendships is the most important part of life. “I think to have a good friend, you have to be a good friend,” said Gunther. “I try to be a good friend. I remember everybody’s birthday and do things like that and remember to call them every once in a while. Friendship is the most important thing right now.”
