“We want to have one (unit), where we can bring in one person and help them, but have 20 other churches in Douglas County that each take one, then we have a community in a sense,” Polhemus said. “What we realized is the major need is not shelter, it’s relationships. If we can solve the relationship issue, then we can solve the shelter issue.”

One speaker talked about the

network is in the early discussion stages, its unclear which churches might participate, what the services would be in conjunction with the housing and what requirements would be in place for people participating in the program.

In Godfrey’s eyes, Rocket’s ability to cheer people up is something we could all learn from.

And Simpson is not the only one toting around his image.

“It’s where students can come together on one thing... That’s what we agree on, that’s one thing we can all agree on,” she said. “We all think he’s amazing.”

Godfrey said he has seen students who were upset or crying visibly calm down just from sitting with Rocket for a few minutes and petting him.

“He really makes their days just a little bit better,” he said. “And I think, as a community, if we can all strive to make each other’s lives a little bit better, we’ll all improve as a whole.”

Mesa Principal Jarod Nicholson said he used to work at Ponderosa High School, where he witnessed the positive impact of a therapy dog that worked with a social worker. Because of this experience, he is excited to have a therapy dog at Mesa.

The Douglas County Health Department is nearing completion after setting up its environmental health services at the start of the month.

Hill said the taxpayer cost is still set to be about the same as it was when using Tri-County Health Department, at about $2.5 million. The whole operation will cost about $5 million, with the remainder set to be paid for by grants.

These services include inspections of things like restaurants, septic tanks, tattoo parlors and child care centers.“Ourcommitment is to make this a friendly, facilitative relationship where we are helping them, training them, helping them do a good job,” Public Health Director Michael Hill said. “Rather than coming in and smacking them if we think they are doing something wrong.”

Additionally, the council approved changes to the service plan for the Dawson Trails metro districts to allow the neighborhoods to take on more debt for infrastructure, including the $50 million developer’s contribution to the Crystal Valley Interchange.“Inconsideration of the substansial contribution to the interchange and additional town infrastructure, the town has agreed to amend certain requirements,” Town Attorney Michael Hyman said.

“I would rather see us incentivizing the little guy, helping small business or doing other things with those tax dollars,” Cavey said. “I understand very much that we need this money to fund our police and ﬁre, but robbing Peter to pay Paul doesn’t seem like the right thing to do.”Corliss said he understood Cavey’s reticence, but noted the money doesn’t go directly to the company, but rather to the developers for infrastructure for the Costco. He added that 35,000 town residents already shop at Costcos in other communities and the store’s tax revenue would be crucial to future budgets.

Council approves partnership with Dawson Trails

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 o er incentives for a Costco and the developer of Dawson Trails would pay for road work and a new ﬁre station.

In order to get a Costco in the area, town council members agreed to a $10 million incentive package that includes $3.5 million upfront from the Economic Development Fund and another $6.5 million from the town remitting a third of the store’s annual sales tax revenue.

Despite the beneﬁt to the town revenue, council member Laura Cavey was hesitant to offer incentives to an already proﬁtable chain store and ultimately voted against the agreement.

“It is a necessary requirement in order to attract a large retailer,” he said. “There’s not a community in Colorado that would not also provide some level of incentive for a Costco or similar retail development because they depend on retail sales tax to run their operations.”

Castle Rock ﬁnalized the details to allow the construction of the Dawson Trails development, which includes the Crystal Valley Interchange and a Costco.

“We need additional sales tax in order to grow our police and ﬁre departments,” Corliss said.

Town Council approved a number of documents related to the development project at its Sept. 6 meeting which clears the way for developers Westside Investment Partners Inc. to begin building the planned 5,850 housing units and 3.2 million square feet of commercial space.

Under the agreement, metro districts can take on more debt

The 2022 race for Colorado governor may boil down to who wants to spend more of their own money: Democratic Gov. Jared Polis or Steve Wells, a Weld County rancher and oil and gas booster who is now one of the state’s most proliﬁc Republican donors.

The super PAC has two websites, one that features pictures of the billboards and videos about Wells. Another, Had Enough Colorado, is headlined “It’s time for a change! Inﬂation, crime, drugs & deaths. Coloradans are feeling the pain and chaos under current ‘leadership.’”

The Sun he isn’t sure how much he’ll spend to defeat Polis.

Polis spokeswoman Amber Miller said the governor “is working hard to earn voters’ support, including getting his positive message out to all Coloradans about how he will protect our freedoms, ﬁght to cut costs and always do what’s right for Colorado.”

In one video on his website, Wells encourages voters not to back thirdparty candidates, saying a vote for third-party candidates is “a vote for Jared Polis and the Democrats.” He appeared to be referencing Danielle Neuschwanger, the American Constitution Party’s gubernatorial nominee, who left the GOP after failing to make the primary ballot. She raised only $7,200 in August, and had less than $8,500 in Neuschwangercash. is expected to win votes in November that would have otherwise gone to Ganahl.

Deep Colorado Wells spent $500,000 in August on radio ads opposing Polis and supporting Ganahl.

Meanwhile, University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl, Polis’ Republican opponent in November, brought in nearly $252,000 last month. She paid off $46,000 of a $250,000 loan she previously made to the campaign and had $188,000 heading into this month, putting her at a major cash disadvantage compared to her deep-pocketed opponent.ButWells appears to be helping Ganahl make up the difference.

Court dismisses counties from lawsuit over split

Counties say contract doesn’t require payment

Breaking up from Tri-County is hard and expensive

• Earn up to $100,000 annually

• PERA then arranged for a company to prepare a report estimating the Tri-County disafﬁ liation costs.•On Sept. 7, Douglas County’s elected leaders, the board of commissioners, formalized their withdrawal from Tri-County.

A court has dismissed Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties from a lawsuit that arose out of the impending breakup of TriCounty Health Department — a ruling that signals that the health agency, not the counties, may end up on the hook for an alleged $50 million penalty.

“All of the counties agree that the PERA liability is the responsibility of (Tri-County), the entity that joined and participated in PERA,” Douglas County said in a statement.

If Tri-County Health is “allowed to withdraw from PERA without paying the withdrawal liability, all PERA members and employers will be negatively impacted,” a Feb. 1 complaint in a lawsuit ﬁ led by the retirement association said.Ina major development in the case, the Adams County District Court on Sept. 2 decided to dismiss the three counties from the lawsuit but denied Tri-County Health’s request to throw out

• On Sept. 24, PERA provided Tri-County with the report. The report calculated Tri-County’s initial withdrawal liability as $50,235,215, subject to ﬁ nal determination at the date of disafﬁ liation.•On Sept. 28, the Douglas County commissioners and TriCounty entered into what’s called an intergovernmental agreement, or the IGA.

The IGA provided that Douglas County agreed to “pay for the services and costs associated with its withdrawal,” the complaint cited.

As to why all three counties in general aren’t required by state law to pay Tri-County to pay the PERA fee, the court wrote that the relevant law applies to how counties cover costs for “maintaining” a local public health agency — but that the law does not require counties to make payments triggered by the “demise” of an Newagency.player could weigh on

The costs of Arapahoe and Adams pulling away from Tri-County could be in theButmillions.ontopof those costs, the counties have been pushing back against a government body that says they owe a penalty because of Tri-County’s upcoming end.

The court “recognizes the inconsistencies between the IGA and the later stipulation,” the order says. But the court appeared not to address the question of whether the agreement requires Douglas County to pay, instead only ruling that the retirement association didn’t have the right to sue the counties in general.

“In the stipulation resolving the matter Douglas County stipulated that it agreed to pay its proportionate share of any PERA liability ‘if any is owed’ and if ‘any liabilities or debts are determined by a Court to be owed to PERA.’ But, Douglas County expressly denied any responsibility” for the liability, the court wrote in one of its Sept. 2 orders this year.

Arapahoe County’s understanding is that the September 2021 agreement between Douglas County and Tri-County does not require Douglas County to pay part of the PERA penalty, Arapahoe County said in a statement. Through a spokesperson, Adams County declined to comment on that question.

In a provision that may be relevant to the PERA case, the Arapahoe court’s order says: “Following consultation with (Tri-County), and upon written notice to the counterparty, the Receiver may immediately terminate any existing contract, agreement, lease or instrument of TCHD which she determines is not beneﬁ cial to TCHD.”Asked whether the receiver could terminate the agreement between Tri-County and Douglas County regarding the potential

Most town employees will see an average of 4% salary increase based on performance, and public safety personnel are budgeted to see an average 7.5% raise next year.Additionally, Castle Rock voters approved a tax measure in 2021 to allow the town to keep surplus tax revenue that would normally be remitted back to taxpayers under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. The money must be spent on public safety, roads and fi re mitigation.Nextyear, the town estimated a TABOR surplus of $14.6 million. Of that money, $6 million is for a new fi re station, $5.6 million is for road construction, $2 million will go to updates at the police headquarters and $1 million will go to fi re mitigation.

I had family members, especially my mom, telling me I did not sound like myself, asking if there was something wrong. I often replied, “I am ﬁne.”

As people come back from summer vacations, September is usually a strong month for planning and preparing for the things we can do that can have an immediate impact on how we finish the year. And more importantly, how we are all planning for 2023. This is the time to plan and prepare, with most budget decisions and commitments happening before Oct. 31. For some, that budget deadline date is the scariest part of Halloween.

My mom even drove from New Mexico to Denver one weekend because, in her words, I “did not sound right.”

However, not everything goes as planned. I struggled to get my foot in the door in the Denver media market. Some editors/publishers told me I was overqualiﬁed. Some didn’t even give me a call back. I did not know anyone here.

I started relying on my 2-year-old son to serve as my only source of human interaction during the day. At night, I went to bed and slept. Eventually, I put him in preschool early because I knew what I was doing was not healthy for him.

he summer season is coming to an end, with many of us looking forward to fall. It’s been a hot summer and it will be nice to get some cool air, turning of leaves, and just a change of pace. For some of us we get locked into the summer doldrums, especially in those severely hot days and nights. And yet for others, being outdoors and in the sunshine bring us energy.

An increase in sales behaviors, creativity in marketing, leveraging existing relationships and referral sources, and maybe an amplification of the social media sources that drive our business.

Many of my family, friends and co-workers know me as being outgoing, happy, friendly and a strong, driven person. However, that has not always been the case. You see, there were several dark years in my life that I have only started to admit to over the last year.

I remember the fear of the unknown but believed I had built a good career and reputation in Arizona and was optimistic it would be no problem to bring that talent to Colorado.

With September comes the end of the 3rd Quarter for the businesses who operate on calendar year, beginning in January and closing the books in December. Depending on the industry and the organization, many times it comes down to the 4th Quarter, just like a football game. Although in football there is a chance for overtime, in business, when the year ends, the year ends.

Over the years, doctors would throw medications at me. None of them worked. In fact, they usually made me worse.

That meant several hours a day of being alone with my dark thoughts. I believed I had not lived up to expectations, especially the ones that I had set for myself. I believed I was a failure in my career, at home and in life. I started believing the world would be ﬁne without me.

Aboutcontinued.10years ago, Smith was diagnosed with breast cancer, Barr said. She got a mastectomy and understood that the surgery was curative for her at the time, and she was put on oral medications to try and control hormones.

Karen Keeran, a death doula based in Golden, at her home o ce on Aug 24.

Rose Barr, a 45-year-old veterinarian at Tender Touch Animal Hospital, met Smith in 2010 through work, and the two became close friends and eventually like family to one another.

She’ll be close to the outdoors, able to see the trees she loves. The smell of Nag Champa incense will ﬁll the air, and a Spotify playlist she’s created will be playing. Her friends and family will visit, writing down funny stories or memories to

“I tell my clients, I can’t take away the sorrow and the sadness, but maybe with more knowledge, we can focus less on fear and anxiety and more on love and meaning,” she continued.Asadeath doula, Johnston typically works with people who are in hospice, and she’s usually contacted by the child of the person dying, she said.She offers a variety of services including offering information about the dying process, addressing worries and issues, providing emotional support and planning and helping implement the atmosphere the client would like to have as they are dying.

“She was very warm and welcoming. She valued having meaningful relationships with people,” Barr said, her voice ﬁlled with emotion. “She had this beautiful laugh, beautiful eyes.”Aveterinary technician of about 20 years, Smith was great at her job — especially when it came to dealing with naughty cats, Barr said.

Assembling this plan, which Johnston calls vigil planning, is part of her job as a death doula, a versatile and evolving role.

One of her recent clients was Michelle Smith, a 52-year-old veterinary technician and beloved friend who passed away on June 4.

“Partdeath.ofthe problem of not being willing and able to talk about something scary, like death, is it just promotes more fear and anxiety. And I really wanted to dismantle that, if I could,” she said.

Death doulas help clients at end of life

endingempoweredanhave…to have a peaceful ending, whatever that looks like for them,” she said.

“There are a lot of different names for what I do,” Johnston said, explaining other names include end-of-life doula, death midwife, exit coach and death companion. “The simplest way I can say it is that I provide emotional, spiritual and informational support for people at the end of life, and for their loved ones around them.”

In the ﬁve years since starting her business, Denver EOL Doula, with EOL standing for “end of life,” she has had about 15 private clients and serves people all throughout the metro Denver area.

Becoming a death doula

“And I thought, ‘Oh, that’s what I’ve been doing.’ So it kind of gave a name to the role that I had been kind of fulﬁlling intuitively anyway, and really helped me understand what that role was,” she Johnstonsaid.decided to pursue train-

“We ﬁgured that our voices together would be louder than our voices separately, so that was the impetus for just, let’s get together and cultivate a community,” she said. “We want to provide a community not just for the providers who are doing this work, but for people who need these services.”

She has since begun a new company, Chun Hwa LLC, which focuses on offering yoga and grief counseling, she said. However, as an afﬁliate member of the nonproﬁt, she still offers services related to advance care planning and the “business of death,” as she calls it.

“It’s that community that says, nobody can do this work alone,” Sargent said about the nonproﬁt, explaining members of the collaborative can call on one another for assistance. “All of the members of that group have a specialty, have a passion.”

Although Sargent had previously done the legal parts of planning and preparing for her death, she said she hadn’t thought about the actual time of death and the type of environment she would like.

Now, there are more than 35 afﬁliate members across Colorado, and the number is growing, she said.

A network of support

Earlier this year, she began working with her friend, Karen Keeran, who recently became a death doula. Together, they began discussing Sargent’s wishes, such as having a calm and quiet environment when she is close to passing.

Johnston also helped get a lawyer and a notary to visit Smith and Barr to complete Smith’s will, something Barr said they were panicked about beforehand.Earlyinthe morning on June 4, Smith passed away in Barr’s home. Upon her passing, Barr asked Johnston to check in with Smith’s parents, as she didn’t have the emotional bandwidth to do so. Johnston also came to Smith’s celebration of life, held at Hudson Gardens.

One afﬁliate member is Crispin Sargent, a certiﬁed grief yoga instructor who worked for 30 years as a geriatric care manager, offering services such as advance care planning and acting as power of attorney or conservator for some

The following year, Johnston established her business, which she said was a complicated process. Part of the difﬁculty was convincing people that her services were valuable and some-

Having a death doula helped get Smith to a point where she could talk about her death and share her wishes with others, Barr said. Johnston also helped Smith’s family and friends navigate the ﬁnal days, encouraging people to talk about what was happening and to share happy memories of Smith.

Death is a life experience, she said, and she knows from personal experience the value of planning and preparing for death before a person is close to it or is in crisis.

She began connecting with other doulas in the Denver area, and in 2020, they decided to form the Colorado End-of-Life Collaborative, a nonproﬁt membership organization. She explained it helped create a support network for the doulas and get the word out about their profession.

“And I felt like I had really helped him and his wife just go through that last milestone in a way that honored his story. And I thought, ‘Well gosh, I really want to continue to do this if I can,’” she said.

Prioritizing education

Barr said it was valuable to have Johnston around, who had been through the process before and would often reassure everyone that they were doing a great job. She said Johnston offered emotional support to people, often explaining what was happening to visitors and helping remove some fear about the situation.

thing everyone would beneﬁt from.

In 2015, she was looking for a different career outside of teaching, and a friend asked if she would be interested in serving as an assistant to a man who had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a progressive nervous system disease.

DEATH DOULA

“I have a very signiﬁcant level of gratitude to her because she knows that I can be a different kind of challenge because I know too much,” Sargent said, explaining she looks at situations from every angle. “She keeps me on track.”

Choosing to become a death doula was a spiritual type of decision for Keeran.In2020, a year before she retired from her career in business, Keeran was meditating and asked the universe what she should do next. She said she woke up the next morning and it was like a light switch had been turned on — she should become a death doula.

“If you try and do all of that at the deathbed, your brain isn’t functioning, nothing is functioning, nothing is in place, and you don’t have that opportunity,” she said.

“I feel like Vanessa gave us a lot more support than hospice was able to, and even if it was just talking and checking on us and trying to help facilitate things with visitors,” Barr said.Barr describes death doulas as wonderful people who can guide others through the dying process, whether it be navigating the paperwork, the emotional part or the physical part. She said she’s considering hiring a death doula again to help her get her own affairs in order before this year is

“Duringclients.that30-year period of time, clients would come to us because of dysfunctional family, or because they had no family, or where the court made a determination that a disinterested third party was needed to serve in the role of conservator,” she said.

Barr said, explaining the nurse came over about three times and the chaplain and social worker each checked in once. “And so just having another support system was huge.”

“Iover.think that it’s a great thing to help you on that part of the journey, to have a death doula,” Barr said. “I think that it can help with all of the feelings and fears and emotions.”

Before entering the death doula profession, Johnston worked as a high school English teacher.

“And so I said, ‘I’m happy to do that. I have no medical experience whatsoever, but if he’s just looking for a companion, I can do that,’” Johnston said.While caring for the man, she heard about a book called “Caring for the Dying: The Doula Approach to a Meaningful Death.” Through reading, she learned “death doula” was the term for a person who serves as a compassionate companion to someone at the end of life.

“You want to do all of your planning at a time where there can be stories that are told,” she said, explaining planning ahead of time allows for more consideration of options and for a person’s loved ones to understand the plan as well.

Originally, Johnston said the idea was to only have a directory of doulas in the nonproﬁt, but then the members saw there was a need to also have a network of other providers, called afﬁliate members, such as people working in funeral homes, grief counselors, notaries and so on.

Band, which evolved a bit later. The concert band was started by several residents who had a band instrument stashed in a closet or basement and recalled how much fun it is to make music with others — an inquiry went out in the Highlands Ranch Herald and elsewhere, and the high school band director helped get it started — and soon there was a viable group of happy members rehearsing regularly, who enjoyed both social and musical aspects of the Highlands Ranch Concert Band.Weekly rehearsals (they were on Wednesday nights last year), a holiday concert and a couple of seasonal performances happened first, then the joy of outdoor summer concerts drew even more interest as the Highlands Ranch community grew and matured.

A group started the Littleton Community Music Association and at that point the Dixieland Band and a concert band were formed, as well as a resource list of possible music instructors for instrumental and voice. There is still a Littleton Community Band listed ... no other information.

-What are you most looking forward to about seeing the show come together?

“Into the Woods” is an iconic piece of musical theatre. It’s a tribute to the genius storytelling of Sondheim and James Lapine that these characters we think we know take on a whole new life in relatable moments. Our production takes a new twist on the story and is set in a child’s nursery. We get to see the story unfold through the imagination of a child and the story unfolds as life itself twists and changes.

-What do you hope audiences who see the show come away with?

Attendees will be able to take part in a range of activities, including live music, food, costumes and the Cardboard Regatta boat race. Get the full schedule and information at https://thepiratefest. com.

One of the most exciting aspects of directing is casting — it’s a new adventure each time and I feel so lucky that we have an incredibly talented group working on this production. When working on a piece that has so many familiar characters, the actors have to ﬁnd the nuances to bring them to life.

I am looking forward to seeing the whole picture come together for an audience. Coming out of the pandemic and difﬁcult times, this story can connect to so many different people — whether it’s about having the courage to set out on a journey alone or as a reminder

It’s always an exciting challenge to bring a fairy tale to life on stage. I am fortunate to be surrounded by the best artists and artisans — from scenic design and lights to props and costumes, it has been a collaborationremarkableto put magic on stage. Our production is full of stage tricks that lift the audience out of the ordinary and into the fantastical.

I think that audiences will see themselves in these characters — we’re all hopeful, ﬂawed, all wandering in the woods and hoping to ﬁnd our way home and “Into the Woods” shows us that in a magical and musical way.

cially in the most impacted communities.”Theinfant gut collection of microbes is largely a blank slate until influenced by breast milk, solid food, the environment, any medicine intake, and other factors, according to the CU researchers. Beneficial microbes work to build appetite, immunity, insulin control and brain functions. But “bad” microbes can influence asthma, Type 2 diabetes and other lifelong issues.

The healthy gut “microbiome” of babies living in high pollution areas is under threat from particulates from vehicles, industrial smokestacks and wildfire smoke, leaving them more vulnerable to immune afflictions like diabetes or allergies, a new University of Colorado study says.The findings from babies involved in a mother’s milk study in Southern California go straight to the heart of a series of environmental justice and air pollution laws passed in Colorado in recent years. State lawmakers and regulators are targeting pollution concentrated in lower-income and minority neighborhoods, and overhauling permitting and transportation spending to combat what they have called historic injustice.

But decades of regulation are just starting to have an impact, and low-income neighborhoods near reﬁneries, power plants and busy highways are much more exposed than others. Bad wildﬁre seasons like those in 2020 and 2021 wipe out a lot of progress.

The research also looked at markers from slightly larger particles, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide, primarily a vehicle-related emission.

The CU study piggybacked on a mother’s milk study by genetically analyzing fecal samples from 103 primarily Latino infants in Los Angeles. Alderete learned of the cohort and was able to gain access to the genetic data while she worked on her Ph.D. at the University of Southern California. The infants’ health data was overlaid with hourly pollution samples in their area that are taken constantly by the EPA.

The results speak to a crucial age of development where the environment “sticks with you,” the CU researchers say. They talked about the study in a week of record heat in Denver and much of Colorado, and where state ofﬁcials called another series of Ozone Action Day Alerts cautioning those in urban areas vulnerable to some forms of air pol-

“So the results of this study are alarming, as we know that many Latinos live in disproportionately impacted communities in Adams County and north Denver,” he said.

Infiltration.themeantime, the researchers say all families should take the easiest precautions against local air pollution: avoid exercising near traffic or industrial areas, open windows or use stove vents during home cooking that may create particulates and seek a low-cost air filtration system. As always, they emphasize that moms should continue breastfeeding as long as possible, one of the most crucial ways to support a healthy baby biome and brain

Those exposed to the most PM2.5 lost 60% of a bacterium that decreases inflammation and aids infant brain development. Those exposed to the most PM10, slightly larger particles, had 85% more of a bacterium associated with inflammation.Alderete’s earlier research on air pollution and microbes looked at about 50 young adults, showing that air pollution exposure from nearby high-traffic roads “was associated with bacteria in the gut,” she said. “And those bacteria had been linked with obesity, Type 2 diabetes and insulinThosesensitivity.”results,Alderete said, have since been replicated in a larger sample of young adults.

The researchers have also received funding and approval to follow the Southern California babies through six years, to check on the long-term impacts of their gut biome ﬁndings.

ing individual behavioral factors as well as the environment,” Alderete said. “If there is this association with air pollution and the gut bacteria, how long does that persist?

PM2.5 particle pollution is limited by regulations, and each particle is about 1/70th the diameter of a human hair. The particles are emitted by car and truck fossil fuel exhaust, coal-ﬁred power plants or chemical emissions from factories, burning forests and other sources. Colorado is not currently in violation of EPA limits on PM2.5 in the way that it violates ozone caps.

The study is not able to distinguish the varied inﬂuence of the child’s indoor environment on the same intestinal biome issues. Home cooking creates particulates that can inﬂuence personal health, as well as other behavioral or environmental factors such as burning candles or having access to home air

The researchers say the study published in the August edition of the science journal “Gut Microbes,” is “the ﬁrst to show a link between inhaled pollutants … and changes in infant microbial health during this critical window of development.”

Do we see that over the course of development and the question is what kind of health implications does that have?”

Particles slash good bacteria in infants, CU study says

The new CU study bolsters previous research about the health impacts of air pollution on adults, said Juan Madrid, a clean air and transportation advocate with Colorado GreenLatinos. Half of Adams County births in 2020-21, and a third of Denver births, were to Latino mothers, Madrid noted.

Antipollution activists often target south Adams County and north Denver because of the Suncor oil refinery, the Cherokee Generating Station, multiple interstates jammed with truck traffic, numerous heavy industries and a history of metals smelting.“Thisstudy adds to a growing body of evidence that breathing pollution harms more than just our lungs,” said Laurie Anderson, Colorado field organizer for Moms Clean Air Force. “Babies and children are especially vulnerable. Here in Colorado, where we have persistent air pollution problems, this study increases the urgency of taking swift action to reduce pollution — espe-

One of the most prevalent causes of poor air quality in Colorado is ground-level ozone.

Napolitano added that most victims are recruited.

“They are identified by the perpetrator or trafficker as being vulnerable and people are vulnerable for lots of reasons. They’re experiencing homelessness, they’re using drugs, they’re desperately looking for work,” Napolitano explained, saying that many victims had a traumatic childhood. “They’re looking for love and inclusion, and a trafficker reaches in and offers that person the thing they need — that love, the bus ticket, the job, the housing — and kind of hooks them that way.”

Katlyn Pryshlak, the hotline and advocacy manager at the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafﬁcking, adds

And the rout over Alameda with a running clock started early in the third quarter was something that has been reversed in the past. Last season, the Lions were on the short end of ﬁve mercy-rule game scores.

Senior Taylor Cramer and sophomore MacKenzy Glenn each went 3-for-4 to spark the Lions’ offense while Zoe Stanzyk and Hailey Maestretti, the daughter of the coach, each had a pair of hits.

Littleton senior quarterback Timmy Higgins (5) says the team and players are getting more recognition at the school after the Lions’ 3-0 start this season.

“74-0, that’s crazy,” added Mhlana. “I don’t think this school has seen anything like that. When the team is on the ﬁeld, we’re all clicking and we’re all executing and it is really happening. Like Timmy said, it felt like practice.”However, tougher games are ahead for the Lions.

Public notice is given on August 23, 2022, that a Petition for a Change of Name of an Adult has been filed with the Douglas County Court.

A main focus for Keeran, she said, is targeting education efforts toward older generations, communicating the value of putting together an end-oflife plan and exploring topics of pain, caregiving and medical aid in dying. She also helps people learn about the variety of body disposition options available to people in Colorado, such as water cremation.

“We don’t know when we’re going to pass unless we’ve been given that kind of diagnosis. So for me, it was really powerful and … made me feel strong about it,” Wagoner said. “It’s just a very comforting feeling, and empow ering yourself to be able to express what you really want, because to family members sometimes, you can’t express that.”

The Petition requests that the name of Lauren Elizabeth Cole be changed to Lauren Elizabeth Kendall.
