Community input sought in district equity policy

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a split vote, the Douglas County School Board directed the superintendent to compile recommendations to change the equity policy and present them in March.

During the Sept. 27 meeting, the

board voted 5-2 to officially waive a Sept. 1 deadline for Superintendent Erin Kane to recommend changes to the equity policy as laid out in a January resolution, so that Kane can gather input from parents, students and teachers throughout this year.

Board members Susan Meek and David Ray voted against the waiver, having voiced concerns about unclear language in the original

resolution.

Board members have disagreed on how to move forward with the resolution, which was passed by members Becky Myers, Mike Peterson, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar earlier this year. In recent discussions, members Elizabeth Hanson, Meek and Ray have advocated for a monitoring report on the

Loneliness may play role in Alzheimer’s, Colorado researcher says Local professor investigates

BY ELLIS ARNOLD COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Dr. Rebecca Mullen had been seeing a patient for about four years, and she noticed he was becoming more and more lonely — he would come to see her more often just for a social connection.

Then, he started to experience a rapid decline in his memory and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Mullen wondered whether the man’s loneliness was “one of his first telltale signs” that he was developing a memory problem before people ever noticed it.

If she had seen the potential connection before, “could I have changed the trajectory of his memory decline?” Mullen wondered.

It’s the kind of question that led her to focus on the role of loneliness in the development of Alzheimer’s disease, the topic of a study she is conducting and seeking participants for.

There’s a growing body of research on the negative health impacts of loneliness, said Mullen, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Department of Family Medicine.

HRCA discusses transition to in-person-only meetings

BY NINA JOSS COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

After almost three years of the COVID-19 pandemic, many organizations are adopting hybrid options as a new permanent way of conducting business. The Highlands Ranch Community Association, on the other hand, is considering a return to pre-pandemic modes of gathering.

In a delegate meeting on Sept. 20, board members of the Highlands Ranch Community Association discussed their intent to move future meetings to in-person only. After some type of virtual meeting option has been available since April 2020, this decision would eliminate the possibility for community members to attend meetings virtually for the time being.

Board member Melissa Park said the goal of transitioning to in-person meetings was based on the results of a survey sent to the delegates. According to executive assistant Theresa Hill, the survey was sent at the end of August.

In an interview with Colorado Community Media, Bailey said 51 out of 85 delegates responded to the survey and 60% of them favored a return to in-person meetings.

“A lot of it was based on the feedback that we got regarding the technology — we just don’t have

what is needed,” Park said. “And obviously, we’ve all shared in those frustrations. So for now, we’re ready to move forward with in person.”

During the meeting, Bailey cited improvements that need to be made to the screen, projector and sound system in the meeting room at Southridge Recreation Center, where in-person meetings would be held going forward. Technology purchases in these areas could be utilized for a virtual setting in the future, Bailey said.

“We’re not going to combust the virtual option, just at this point

in time the survey said (people) would like to get back together,” he said. “We’re still going to move expeditiously to see if we can find a permanent solution.”

Thirty-five participants joined the Sept. 20 meeting via Zoom, according to the application. During the discussion, online participants expressed frustration in the Zoom chat.

Teri Hjelmstad, delegate of district 70, commented that the survey questions seemed as though they were written to encourage people to vote for in-person meetings over

virtual ones. Others wrote that they never even saw the survey.

While a few commenters supported in-person meetings, most comments expressed concern that eliminating the virtual option would reduce community engagement.

“I’m not proposing that we take away the in-person meetings, and other people shouldn’t propose that we take away the virtual meetings,” said district 11 delegate Mike Woodland over Zoom to the group. “We

School board shoots down proposed policy changes

Supermajority vote

required

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A proposal to require a supermajority of Douglas County School Board members to approve or amend district policies failed in a board vote.

Board member David Ray proposed two policy changes aimed at gaining voter support for the district’s bond and mill levy override, but they weren’t supported by other members during discussion at the Sept. 27 meeting.

One of Ray’s suggestions was to require a two-thirds majority vote to change district policy or adopt new policy. The other was to add language to policy about school choice, noting that the district doesn’t support vouchers for private schools.

Ray said his intent with the proposed changes was to address the community’s lack of trust in the board, which has contributed to op-

position to the bond and mill levy override funding questions on the ballot this November.

“When I start talking to people about what actions can this board take that will help them overcome their fear and perceptions and in turn become supportive of what we’re trying to do, the response I hear is to see the board taking action to find common ground in decision making,” he said. “So that’s what motivated me then to go back through our policy to see what we could do to show meaningful action, not just words.”

Ray noted the change wouldn’t apply to a majority of board actions and that a two-thirds majority is already required for certain actions, such as going into executive session.

In response, board members

Becky Myers, Mike Peterson, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar said they thought the supermajority proposal would contribute to distrust, citing public commenters who spoke against the suggestion.

“As we can see, there are a lot of people in our community who disagree with it, and it actually caused

a chance to vote on the matter.

more division than trust,” Winegar said. “To me, what I think will help build trust is when we were being respectful among each other, even when we disagreed, and coming together on the MLO and bond.”

Several commenters at the meeting who were opposed to the idea called it a “power grab.”

Both Williams and Peterson also said the requirement of a supermajority is out of line with how other governing bodies, such as the state or federal legislature, operate, so they didn’t see the need for it.

“While I respect what the intentions were, I don’t think this has ever been the practice of this board, of future boards, of prior boards, and nor do I think that it’s necessary,” Williams said.

Board member Elizabeth Hanson also didn’t support the change, saying she was concerned about the supermajority requirement leading to more governing through resolutions, which would not need the extra vote to pass.

“Is this incentivizing the use of resolution governance?” Hanson said. “That concern is so significant with me that I don’t think I

can get to a point where I support the change in the voting structure for policies.”

Only board member Susan Meek voiced support for the supermajority proposal, which she said could lead to more collaboration and compromise. However, Meek did not vote for the change.

“I looked at this policy change as being one that would actually move things away from power and more toward relationships and it would actually take more power away from my perspective in that I would have to influence multiple people to join my view,” Meek said.

Ray moved to adopt the language change, but the motion died without a second.

Ray’s second proposal to add language about the district financially supporting only public school students received slightly more support, but still not enough to pass. Ray said this change was intended to allay concerns about the district supporting vouchers in the future.

It failed on a vote of 4-3, with Myers, Peterson, Williams and Winegar dissenting.

“Who made this decision? Was it the board voting on it? Because in my opinion, it being the delegates meeting, we should be the ones voting on it,” he said.

Woodland acknowledged there

In response to these concerns, Park announced the decision would be put on hold for review of the

Zoom chat comments and further discussion.

The board will discuss the topic further at its next working session on Oct. 10, Bailey told CCM. All HRCA meetings are open to members.

Parker business owner charged with sex assault on child

STAFF REPORT

The owner of a Parker company that offers athletic training for children has been charged with four counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust.

Aaron Carrado, 48 is the owner of Strength in Christ Athletes, located at the corner of South Twenty Mile Road and Pony Express Drive.

Carrado was also charged with four counts of unlawful sexual contact and two counts of sexual exploitation of a child.

“We are releasing this information and Mr. Carrado’s photo to determine if there are any additional victims,” according to a release from the Parker Police Department.

Strength in Christ Athletes was

formerly located in Centennial. According to its website, the company offers athletic performance instruction and training for those with collegiate or professional aspirations.

“We recommend to parents that young athletes start training and focusing on their physical foundation by the age of 10,” according to the website. “At SIC Athletes, we select age appropriate exercises and drills as well as utilize a variety of tactics to train athletes of all ages. The earlier you start training, the further you can take your athletic career!”

The police department asks that anyone who may have been victimized by Carrado or knows someone who may have been a victim contact Detective Bev Wilson at 303-805-6561.

health? (And) is there a loneliness time frame that matters — does it matter how long someone is lonely for?” Mullen said.

Also on her mind: Does it matter whether someone recovers from loneliness?

Unpacking loneliness

Loneliness may seem like a difficult feeling to track, but there are a few “validated measures” of loneliness, Mullen said.

The most common one is the University of California, Los Angeles, or UCLA, loneliness questionnaire, she said. Researchers can measure different dimensions of loneliness, such as if a person is feeling a lack of companionship, feeling isolated or just left out. It’s the type of measure Mullen will use in her research.

For some people, loneliness may be a temporary feeling of missing friends, family or intimate relationships, but Mullen believes long-term loneliness may signal serious consequences, including cognitive decline and increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a news release about her research.

A number of studies suggest that people with cognitive impairment have higher levels of loneliness than those without cognitive impairment, potentially due to the social disengagement that may occur with increased deficits in comprehension, memory and communication, Mullen said in the news release.

That’s one way that brain decline

can fuel social isolation, a pattern that could then further intensify problems with the brain.

It’s a “chicken and the egg” issue, Mullen said.

“Does loneliness always come first, then leading to memory problems down the road, or do memory problems come first and then they become lonely?” Mullen told Colorado Community Media.

Previous work has illustrated that those with transient, or temporary, loneliness do not have increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease, while those with persistent loneliness do, according to the news release.

Looking for study participants

Mullen’s research recently started, and she’s looking for more participants — and it’s not difficult to join the study.

The current patient cohort is 90%

White, so Mullen is looking for people from different backgrounds to make the study more diverse.

“This is actually an issue (throughout the field), where the people we’re recruiting and engaging to be in our studies don’t reflect the population,” Mullen said.

Women are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s than men, and Black Americans and Hispanic Americans are at a higher risk of Alzheimer’s compared to their White counterparts, Mullen said.

Her research will include healthy people without any signs or symptoms of cognitive decline and follow their changes in loneliness, brain activity and biomarkers, or signs of Alzheimer’s, according to the news release.

Those who decide to participate in the study would do an annual evaluation where researchers reach out and ask them a variety of questions about loneliness and memory, Mullen said.

Some participants may do brain imaging, she said. Mullen hopes people are willing to be involved for multiple years because the study needs to collect data over time. But there’s no weekly or monthly commitment needed to participate, she said.

Those interested in participating can email rebecca.mullen@cuanschutz.edu or call Jim Herlihy with the Colorado chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association at 970-590-5885.

The Alzheimer’s Association is a nonprofit health organization that works to accelerate progress in the prevention and cure of Alzheimer’s.

A problem on the rise

Mullen, who teaches family-medicine residents at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, feels that there’s not enough attention on trying to understand the risk factors that can lead to Alzheimer’s.

“Because ideally, you (wouldn’t) even develop Alzheimer’s, so you (wouldn’t) need treatment. This is going to become so important as people” continue to live longer, Mullen said.

The prevalence of Alzheimer’s is expected to double over the next 30 years. In the U.S., there are 6.5 million people with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia — that’s projected to increase to 13 million in the U.S. by 2050, Mullen said.

Alzheimer’s disease is a memoryaffecting condition that worsens over time, and dementia is a general term for loss of memory and other mental abilities that interferes with daily life.

“Understanding how (critical) our social health is for our brain — that is something we can all act on now,” Mullen said.

Senior center is o cially under construction

BY MCKENNA HARFORD

Highlands Ranch officials broke ground on the upcoming $16.5 million senior center on Sept. 19 with the goal of opening doors in January 2024.

The 20,000 square-foot community space for people over 55 will include a Douglas County Health and Human Services satellite office, a fitness area, meeting rooms, a large kitchen and more. It’s located on Highlands Ranch Parkway next to Mountainview Christian Church.

“The Highlands Ranch Senior Center will serve as opportunity to connect older adults to with vital community services with the goal of helpinhg them say active and independent,” Highlands Ranch Metro District Interim General Manager Stephanie Stanley said at the groundbreaking. “The programs offered will expand upon current programs to specifically address the needs and interests of participants aged 55 and older.”

The Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors is expected to approve a contract for sitework at their October meeting, and the district is planning for building construction to begin before December. The project is estimated to cost the district around

$16.5 million, which will be paid using fees collected by the metro district on development.

Mark Dickerson, the chair of the metro district’s board of directors, noted the senior center is the largest project done by the metro district.

“The project represents the evolution of our 41 year old community,” he said.

Once open, the senior center will run on a membership model with drop-in availability, Tammy Tuck-

er, Director of Parks, Recreation and Open Space for the metro district, said in an interview with Colorado Community Media. Details of the fees for various programs have yet to be finalized.

Tucker is planning to host community input sessions throughout construction to gather feedback on what types of programming to offer, such as art classes, certain fitness sessions or educational talks.

“We’re going to ask (seniors) to

come and tell us what programs and classes and thing they actually want and what they’ll actually show up for,” she said. “It’s not what we think they want.”

A portion of the senior center will be dedicated to Douglas County Health and Human Services, which will offer Medicaid assistance, SNAP and food assistance, adult financial programs and an accessible place to pick up an EBT card. However, Tucker noted the senior center won’t offer medical care and isn’t residential.

The goal of the facility is to offer a centralized location for senior resources, activities and socialization as the number of residents over 55 continues to grow in Highlands Ranch. It will also provide space for existing groups, like the Highlands Ranch Senior Club and Active Adults, to meet and expand.

“It’s a place for seniors to go and do the things they’re interested in, which really isn’t currently available,” Tucker said.

On the day of the groundbreaking, Dickerson, thanked the crowd of around 75 people, including Douglas County Commissioners Abe Laydon and Lora Thomas, for the ongoing support for the project.

“This turn out proves what I’ve been saying, that we are ready to make these changes to serve our senior population,” he said. “We’re excited about the needs that will be met by this facility.”

policy, while the other members support an implementation plan with potential changes based on community feedback.

As part of the Sept. 27 discussion, Ray proposed an amendment to the original resolution, which would have waived the deadline and directed the superintendent to conduct a monitoring report on the policy to examine implementation.

The amendment failed 4-3, with Myers, Peterson, Williams and Winegar dissenting, but sparked further discussion on how the district should approach the equity policy.

Ray said the idea behind the amendment was to focus on the impact of the policy and not the wording.

Hanson and Meek supported the amendment, with Meek saying she felt it addressed concerns about clarity while also respecting the intent of the resolution.

“I ask my colleagues, if you truly believe students are being harmed through this policy, why would you refuse to take real action?” she said. “Why would you refuse to ask for a monitoring report that would demonstrate in an accountable way whether there is a true need to change language?”

In his comments, Peterson said he supported the original resolution without the amendment because the themes covered in the equity policy overlap with the district’s end goals, which are already monitored.

“I think we can include elements of this policy throughout our monitoring reports that support other goals,” he said.

Myers, Williams and Winegar also supported the original resolution. Winegar, who introduced the resolution in January, said she supported moving forward with Kane’s community engagement plan, presented on Sept. 13.

“When this resolution was drafted, we had a different superintendent that I felt wasn’t taking action and that’s a big reason why I was a proponent of it,” Winegar said. “Since then, a lot has happened and changed, and that’s why I’m OK with this date being waived. The superintendent has presented a plan on her interpretation of this resolution and I think it’s a great plan so I don’t agree with changing the current resolution.”

Myers said she believes the equity policy has similarites to critical race theory, adding she’d like to begin conversations.

“I’m comfortable with Super-

intendent Kane and us reaching out now more to the community, having some forums or one-on-one meetings with our community, but I would like to see a more diverse involvement from the community,” Myers said.

With the deadline waived, Kane is planning to start engaging the community on four central questions around implementation of the equity policy, including what people want to see happen, what fears they have, what questions they have and how to measure success of the policy.

Kane’s plan includes conversations with the district’s equity advisory council, staff, students and parents, as well as a presentation of her finding at the March 31 meeting.

The equity policy was enacted in 2019 and remains in effect as it was approved.

Something for kids and seniors

The Castle Rock Parks and Trails Foundation is joining forces with the Town of Castle Rock’s Parks and Recreation Department to maximize already planned renovation work at Butterfield Crossing Park. Survey results from the planning phase of this renovation project demonstrated a collectively strong desire to create a more inclusive playground and shared community space.

The decade-old nonprofit has been fundraising all year in order to provide Douglas County’s first fully inclusive playground. The Seniors’ Council of Douglas County also came forward to encourage the addition of a fit-course with equipment added to better serve active seniors. Instead of just a “replacement” playground, the foundation is hoping to use the project’s timing as an opportunity to enhance the park beyond renovation work to add the inclusive “Possibilities Playground” and other inclusive amenities. They have set a goal of raising $1.3 million and have

established an online Possibilities Playground fundraising donation site through the Colorado Gives platform.

So what does inclusion at a park mean? It means creating spaces that people of all abilities can use, including kids, adults and seniors. Especially for our children and our senior population, parks and playgrounds are one of the most important environments they have. Playing and movement is important for so many reasons, providing opportunities for physical exercise, balance, dexterity, mobility, coordination, social skills, confidence, imagination, fresh air and sunshine!

It’s October, which means the nation will be decorated with pink ribbons, NFL players will likely sport some pink shoes in upcoming games and a lot of talk will focus on the importance of breast cancer awareness. For me, while October might by pretty in pink, it makes me think about women’s health overall. You see, breast cancer might get the most marketing and attention, but there are so many conditions and issues women face each year that all deserve a lot more discussion.

COLUMN

First, let’s talk about heart health. Heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, continues to be the leading cause of death for women, killing more than 300,000 per year, equating to about one in every five deaths among women.

According to the CDC, one in every 16 women aged 20 or over has a coronary heart disease.

There is a need to stay on top of heart health for women. For women with symptoms, it’s time to stop delaying that annual checkup with a cardiologist. Some of those symptoms include sharp chest pain, pain the neck, jaw and throat and consistent pain in the upper abdomen or back.

Women, especially moms, have a tendency to manage and take care of everyone around them. That means they are often ignoring their own alarming symptoms, avoiding mental health concerns or skipping the annual checkups because they say they are too busy.

COVID did not help the problem. Doctors with UCHealth and other medical organization said that in 2020 and 2021 many women skipped annual screenings, which turned into some being diagnosed with laterstage cancers once they got an alarming symptom or lump checked.

It is vital to keep doing annual screenings — mammograms, pap smears and talking to a doctor annually.

As I have said in this space before —I have an adopted daughter due in part to ignoring symptoms. My daughter’s biological mom had a stomach and side pain that she ignored over two years. When she was diagnosed with stomach cancer, which is a very treatable cancer, it was too late. Within months of her diagnosis, she died.

When it comes to breast cancer, ignoring symptoms at all ages is not recommended. Breast cancer is not just something older women can get. This disease can be detected at all age levels.

As a general rule of thumb, I schedule my annual mammogram the first week in October each year. They are not comfortable. They are not fun. I do not ever look forward to them. I am always anxious in the week leading up to getting the results. However, I do not skip them.

According to the CDC, each year more than 260,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. Like most cancers, an early diagnosis has the best chance of survival.

In my family, my grandmother died at 50 of a heart attack. My aunt died at age 50 of breast cancer. The warning signs are already there for me.

Like many moms and career women, a lot of people rely on me to manage my household and office. To do that, I do my best to stay on top of my health through preventative methods. Something we should all do.

Finding balance when we seem out of balance

He had spent a career serving others. He was passionate about his work and his role in caring for and developing those on his team. His career spanned more than 49 years before he finally agreed to retire.

Retire that is from his full-time job, but at 74 years old, he still went out and took a part-time job because he believed that he wasn’t done serving others in his community. And lastly, in addition to his part-time job, he is a volunteer for the community center in his neighborhood, and very active in his local church.

I only know these details because I received an email from his wife, who shared that they both look forward to my column each week, and she thought I might be interested in her husband’s story. For me it was a no-brainer, as I love to hear about a fantastic work ethic, people who love to build up others, and stories about people who live to serve others. She certainly got my attention.

When I reached out and asked if I could interview them both, they immediately agreed. Wow, was I in for a great discussion from a very spry and young 75-year-old couple. As I listened to their story, I was truly amazed to their commitment to serve. His job didn’t create wealth, but it did give them security and provided a beautiful life for them in Colorado where they raised their children. When I asked how they balanced work, family, church, and volunteering, Tom answered the question with one word, “balance.”

As I asked him to share more about that he told me that throughout his life, particularly toward the end of his career and part-time work, that he heard all this “noise” about worklife balance. And as people shared self-help books and columns about how to find work-life balance, it amused him. He said it amused him because the answer was in the question. It’s balance. His belief being that if we balance all our responsibilities to our family, our friends, our church and our community, we will find all the balance we need, and in turn create a beautiful life for our family and those we serve.

WINNING

This couple became instant heroes of mine, a great big hug and shout-out to you both.

I think that Tom was on to something. Many of us fall into the trap of the rush and crush of life, becoming so preoccupied by what we think we want, yet we miss everything else in life that balances us out. We spread ourselves so thin running from thing to thing, event to event, trying to fill our calendars and impress people, that we often miss what gives us the greatest pleasure. If we are in search of work-life balance, or just a sense of balance in our life, what is keeping us from finding it? Identifying those things that send us reeling out of balance, and having the courage to say “No,” more often so that we can keep ourselves in balance may be one of the best things that we can ever do for ourselves.

Here’s an idea for you to explore. Balance doesn’t come from placing more things, people, and events on both sides of the scale. Balance comes when we put the right things on each side of the scale.

Take a lesson from my new friend Tom and his wife who focus on family, friends, church and the community and you will have all the balance that you will ever need. Are you or your company out of balance? Do you need to focus more on what is on each side of the scale instead of how much you are trying to squeeze onto the scale? I would love to hear your story of balance at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can find our balance again, it really will be a better than good life.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Prioritize quality of life

We all either grew up in Castle Rock, or moved here for a vision of a certain quality of life. This is being eroded by the planning commission, the town administration, the chamber of commerce, and the town/county elected offi cials.

We all knew there was going to be growth in Castle Rock, because years ago it was rated the seventh best place to live in the country, but now it’s 26th according to Money magazine, and has dropped to sixth in the state. It’s even laughable to call this great community a town when our elected offi cials won’t regulate the growth, with the proper infrastructure.

The family attraction of Castle Rock has always been family events such as the Starlighting, the Movie at the park, the Oktoberfest, the concerts at the park, and the farmers market. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no parking for these events, and it’s getting consistently worse. Some downtown restaurants are being suffocated based on this lack of local parking.

Both directions of I-25 are constantly backed up, and this isn’t even taking into consideration that the town council approved growth for another 40 or 50 thousand new residents, which would be larger than Pueblo..

Developers are profi t-driven, and have the right to develop land they bought from landowners. However, our governmental representatives have a responsibility to maintain our infrastructure, and the quality of life. It simply doesn’t matter how many new businesses a city has if the commute, and the parking, are impeding this quality of life.

Stop paying outside lawyer

I am very angry at our Douglas County commissioners, who must

believe that they can spend any amount of tax payer $$$ on pointless projects.

I am referring to the continuing payments to outside attorney Leonhardt. Mr. Leonhardt was hired earlier this year to determine “if” the county could use ARPA funds to make the initial payment to RWR for the “pie in the sky” San Luis Valley water plan. Mr. Leonhardt determined that the answer is no, Douglas County cannot use ARPA funds for this project.

However, it appears Commissioners Teal and Laydon continued to employ Mr. Leonhardt through at least August. The original cost of $25,000 could now have ballooned to over $100,000 (it is reported the amount was $ 75,000 through June, and I am projecting the additional increase). Mr. Leonhardt was instructed to continue looking at the details of the RWR proposal — why?

When does this stop? There is a zero chance that this ridiculous project would ever be approved by the State of Colorado. In addition, the fi nal cost of this project is not feasible, but Commissioner Teal believes this is the water project of the future, and Commissioner Laydon seems to agree.

If Commissioners Teal and Laydon believe so strongly in this RWR project, why didn’t they create a ballot initiative to address this? Instead they continue to burn through tax payer dollars.

Artists of Vita to show works

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Veteran wood carver Jerry Case was at work on a tiny hummingbird replica last week for a commission, but he will have a selection of his beautifully crafted wooden birds available on Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., when the artists living at Vita Littleton — a 55-plus age-restricted apartment complex — open their art show and sale to the public.

A few friends and family members will be included, as will some Littleton Fine Arts Guild members. The Guild and Vita have built a relationship as LFAG members display some works to brighten Vita’s walls, members sometime teach techniques, such as plein air watercolor (outdoor painting) and acrylic painting, including past president Merrie Wicks, who will exhibit her oil and watercolor paintings.

(With LFAG’s Depot Art Gallery just across Littleton Boulevard, Vita residents can easily visit the former Santa Fe Railway depot. I have been interested to find over years of U.S. travel that a number of these historic depots have become art galleries, with a greatly extended community function.)

Other Vita resident artists include stained glass artist Mary Erlenhorn,

Joan Brumage will display vintage and natural stone jewelry, while Mercedes Fell will have needlework: quilts and knits.

Quilters Rita Fugate and Karen Puffett and Teresa Jones (crochet) will be among textile artists, while Jill Quilliam works with silks on canvas.

Custom jewelry will be displayed by LuAnn Mancini, and Kathy Kitzelman will have “handmade fun bracelets.”

will show some resulting works as a group, while they happily await next spring’s classes.

Vita resident Mona Hickerson will exhibit acrylic fluid art and there may very well be some additional artists who registered after the poster was designed!

Residents will be at the front door to welcome members of the community.

Rosenberry Lecture series returns to in person

Everybody missed different things when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to go virtual. For some it was concerts at their favorite venues, others movies at their local silver screen and for still others it was getting to hear in person from some of the country’s leading historians.

Fortunately for those in the final category, History Colorado has relaunched the in-person version of its Rosenberry Lecture Series. The series kicked off in September with Jorge Zamanillo, founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino, and will be bringing fascinating discussions to audiences all season long.

“The series has been a mainstay for a long, long time at History Colorado, where we bring in great speakers from around the state and country, all with an eye toward telling Colorado stories we can all connect with,” explained Jason Hanson, chief creative officer with the organization. “We’re excited to return after two years of virtual talks, which just weren’t the same as the series our patrons have come to know and love.”

The series runs through Wednesday, May 17, 2023, and can be attended inperson at the History Colorado Center, 1200 North Broadway, or virtually. Each lecture will be held on the third Wednesday of the month at 1 p.m.

Some of the discussions attendees can look forward to include:

Oct. 19: Colorado’s Unlikely Gender Crossroads: The Remarkable Story Behind the Book, “Going to

Reader

Trinidad”

Veteran journalist and magazine editor Martin J. Smith discusses Trinidad’s surprising role as a world center for gender-confirmation surgery, and the doctors and medical pilgrims who have had their lives changed there for 41 years.

Jan. 18: The Life and Times of Colorado Barbecue

James Beard award-winning author and culinary historian Adrian Miller will provide an informative and entertaining look at people and places that shaped Colorado’s barbecue traditions.

March 15: The Once and Future Hope of Dearfield: Colorado’s African American Colony in the Early 20th Century

The African American farm colony of Dearfield was founded east of Greeley in 1910 and black homesteaders were able to realize their dream of owning land and building their own community. The decade-long Dearfield Dream Project is working to tell the story of this unique place. This talk is presented by Bob Brunswig, Ph.D., professor emeritus and university research fellow at the University of Northern Colorado, Richard Edwards, Ph.D., director emeritus of the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska and George H. Junne, Jr., Ph.D., professor and coordinator of

African Studies at the University of Northern Colorado.

“The series is really about helping people realize we’re all connected to a shared past and helping them encounter stories they may not be familiar with or realize is connected to their life in some way,” Hanson said. “You can hear amazing stories about the past and see how we’re all connected by a place called Colorado and the experiences both us and our ancestors have had.”

Heidi Ganahl, Jared Polis debate EVs, taxes and more

BY ANDREW KENNEY COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

In the first debate between Gov. Jared Polis and his Republican challenger, Heidi Ganahl, the most spirited exchange was about automobiles — and specifically, the ones the candidates drive.

It began as Ganahl attacked Polis’ environmental policies, part of a much broader argument over their visions for Colorado’s future.

“Don’t expect a single mom of three working two jobs to buy (an all-electric) Tesla or rely solely on public transportation,” she said of Polis’ plans to decarbonize the state’s economy in the decades ahead. “It’s too far, too fast.”

Polis shot back: “Well, I thought you drive a Tesla, don’t you?”

Ganahl said her family has three cars, including a “Chevy Express conversion van with 120,000 miles on it.”

Polis responded: “Not everybody can afford a Tesla, like my opponent.”

Ganahl said: “Well, you can.”

In fact, they both can. It was an unusual bit of social showmanship from two candidates who are among the wealthiest people in Colorado. Polis has made hundreds of millions of dollars selling tech businesses, while Ganahl sold her own doggy day care franchise for more than $17 million.

The automotive theater continued as the governor proclaimed that, despite his goal of getting 940,000 electric vehicles on the state’s roads by 2030, he drives “an internal combustion engine. I think that’s all you need to know,” a line which drew laughs.

(Polis has a Ford Escape but may have previously owned an EV, according to a campaign spokeswoman, and is driven around for official duties in a Chevy Suburban.)

Nathaniel Minor/CPR NewsRepublican candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl, flanked by supporters, released her transportation plan in Denver on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022.

A minute later, Ganahl revived the topic with an explanation for the Tesla: “I thought, before I ran, ‘I’m gonna get an electric car so I can live it, and feel it, and see what it’s like.’”

Her conclusion: Electric vehicles aren’t feasible for low-income families, and Polis, she added, should “walk the talk” by buying an electric car.

The incumbent’s response? “Lend me yours … I’ll just borrow yours.”

The unusual exchange consumed a few minutes of a debate that stretched more than an hour, hosted by the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce at CSU-Pueblo, with sponsorship from Black Hills Energy.

This head-to-head may set the template for the final weeks of the election. Ganahl blamed Polis for high energy costs, bank robberies, rising cocaine and fentanyl use, the auto theft rate and more, and called his COVID-19 response overreaching and underhanded.

She accused Polis of closing schools and churches while “keeping pot shops open.” He contended that Colorado was ahead of many other states in reopening.

“He’s grown the size of government,” Ganahl said. “He’s added taxes, fees, new social programs. Small business owners can’t keep up with all the programs they’re supposed to implement and pay for. There’s only so much money in the bucket.”

Ganahl reiterated her campaign promise to eliminate the income tax, which brings in more than $13 billion a year to the state and supplies more than half of the general fund. She also wants to cut the gas tax in half.

Meanwhile, Polis tried to discredit her tax-slashing plans as unrealistic and dangerous. He pointed out that the Colorado State Patrol and other services are currently funded by

those taxes.

“Her gas tax plan (will) cut funding in half for the State Patrol,” he said, while touting his own public safety spending law. “Her income tax plan (will) defund Corrections, let criminals out on the street.”

Ganahl dismissed the criticism, saying she would never cut funds to law enforcement. She has said that she would instead cut spending elsewhere: “We’re going to shrink the size of government by 10 percent a year by doing a hiring freeze and

addressing vacancy funds,” she said, adding that she would hire a private auditor to find fraud and waste.

“We have a spending problem here in Colorado, not a revenue problem,” she said.

Cutting more than $13 billion from the budget would require finding savings equal to the state’s current general fund spending on education, health care, human services and corrections, combined.

Polis said that his administration has saved people money with big new laws on health insurance, full-day kindergarten and limited free preschool. Free early childhood education in particular, he said, saves hundreds of dollars per month for families with young children.

Ganahl said she “fully supports pre-K care,” but said that she’d rather entrust it to private industry, charities and churches. She also would “go all in” on school choice, allowing families to take public funding to the school of their choice.

On criminal justice, Ganahl criticized Polis for reducing the sentence of Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos, the truck driver at fault in a crash that killed four people on I-70, from 110 years to a decade. (Ganahl said the governor at least should have waited before acting, a criticism echoed by the district attorney in the case.)

Ganahl also pointed out, among other criticisms, that on Polis’ watch, state lawmakers abolished the death

State budget writers fear consquences of bill

The state lawmakers who write Colorado’s budget are raising red flags about how two measures on the November ballot — one that would reduce the income tax rate and another that would set aside about $300 million annually for affordable housing — could combine to hamstring the legislature’s future finances, namely by eating into education funding.

Proposition 121 would cut Colorado’s income tax rate to 4.4% from 4.55% a reduction estimated to decrease state tax revenue by $412.6 million in the 2023-24 fiscal year. Proposition 123 would set aside up to 0.1% of taxable income each year for affordable housing, which is estimated to be $145 million in the current fiscal year — which ends June 30, 2023 — and $290 million in the 2023-24 and subsequent fiscal years.

In years where tax revenue exceeds Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights cap on government growth and spending by about $1 billion, the budget wouldn’t necessarily be affected by the passage of the measures.

But in all other years, the initiatives — if they both pass — would cut into the state budget. And when the legislature is forced to pare

back its spending, it’s frequently education dollars that get slashed first.

“There’s no free lunch,” state Sen. Chris Hansen, a Denver Democrat and the incoming chair of the Joint Budget Committee, told constituents Saturday at a town hall. “K-12 and higher education (is) where the marginal dollar is in our state budget. So $1 less means $1 less for education.”

Proposition 121, which is being pushed by conservatives and is ostensibly supported by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, has the clearest path to becoming law of the two initiatives. Coloradans often vote in favor of tax reductions and there’s no well-funded opposition to the measure.

The politics surrounding Proposition 123 are more complicated.

It’s endorsed by a number of prominent nonprofits and a host of Democratic state lawmakers and politicians. But it also has a bipartisan group of skeptics who want voters to think long and hard before weighing in on the measure, especially given the growing risk of a recession stemming from high inflation and rising interest rates meant to tamp down consumer costs.

“I recognize the need for a more sustainable revenue source for affordable housing,” said Sen Rachel Zenzinger, an Arvada Democrat who also sits on the JBC. “As a budget writer, I’m one of the people that is going to have to think about the implications, though, for budgeting down the road.”

The money generated by Proposition 123 would be distributed to local governments and nonprofits to acquire and preserve land for affordable housing, develop units, secure shelter for people who are homeless and provide downpayment assistance to first-time homebuyers. Local governments must commit to increasing affordable housing by 3% annually and creating a fast-track approval process for affordable-housing projects to qualify for funding.

Taxes wouldn’t be raised under the measure, though in TABOR refund years Coloradans would receive less money back from the state if Proposition 123 is approved.

“We know that right now affordable housing is the single biggest crisis facing the state of Colorado: hospitals who can’t keep nurses, school districts who can’t keep teachers, restaurants who can’t keep staff,” said Democrat Mike Johnston, a former state senator who leads Gary Community Ventures, the organization bankrolling the committee working to pass Proposition 123. “It’s past time to do something, and this offers a chance to do that without raising taxes.”

Johnston pointed out that the state’s tax revenue is forecast to

exceed the TABOR cap in the next three fiscal years. And since Proposition 123 would be a statutory change not a constitutional one, the legislature could simply vote to turn off the affordable housing funding spigot in years when the TABOR cap isn’t exceeded.

“If that unforeseen eventuality comes to pass then there’s a structure in place for the legislature to manage that,” Johnston said.

The reality of Colorado’s budget situation, however, is more nuanced.

While it’s true that tax revenue is forecast to exceed the TABOR cap in each of the next three fiscal years, the amount is up for serious debate.

Legislative Council Staff and the governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting offered wildly different projections to lawmakers Thursday while presenting their quarterly economic forecasts.

Legislative Council Staff forecast revenue above the TABOR cap to be $3.63 billion in the current 2022-23 fiscal year, $2.28 billion in the 202324 fiscal year and $1.9 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year.

The TABOR excess forecast by the governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting was $1.9 billion in the current 2022-23 fiscal year, $685 million in the 2023-24 fiscal year and $742 million in the 2024-25 fiscal year.

Under the OSPB forecast, if Propositions 121 and 123 both pass — and the legislature doesn’t turn off the affordable housing funding spigot — they would start cutting into the state budget as soon as next year.

If there’s a recession — of which both Legislative Council and OSPB staff warned there is significant risk — all bets are off when it comes to how much, if any, TABOR excess there would be.

In a weak recession, Hansen said, “we are immediately out of TABOR surplus.”

(Both Johnston and Hansen, meanwhile, are rumored to be considering 2023 Denver mayoral bids.)

Even some proponents of Proposition 123 see the cause for alarm.

“The impact of 121 passing and 123 passing would be brutal,” said Scott Wasserman, who leads the liberal-leaning fiscal nonprofit Bell Policy Center, which has endorsed Proposition 123 and opposes Proposition 121.

Both Hansen and Zenzinger also cast doubt on how easy it would be for the legislature to pause the affordable housing spending.

“The proponents will say, ‘it’s statutory, so you can go in and

And in some of her harshest attacks of the night, she accused Polis of signing a law that she said killed the daughter of a woman named Mickey she met on the campaign trail. The policy in question made possession of small amounts of some drugs, including fentanyl, a misdemeanor instead of a felony.

“I hope you will give them an answer and give Mickey an answer,” she said. Ganahl didn’t detail the connection between the death of the person’s daughter and the 2019 drug reform law. Polis responded: “Fentanyl has been, is and will be illegal in the state of Colorado, as long as I am your governor.” He pointed to a law passed this year that reinstated felony possession charges for a gram or more of

fentanyl, as well as adding funding for treatment.

The candidates also touched on the issue of water. Polis challenged Ganahl to take a stand against a proposal that had aimed to transport water from the San Luis Valley to Douglas County, where Ganahl lives.

“Even Congresswoman (Lauren) Boebert joined me in opposition to this buy-and-dry plan that would destroy the ag economy of the San Luis Valley,” he said.

Ganahl didn’t take up the topic, but said she wants to build more water storage — also a stated priority for Polis — and promised a firm stance on Colorado River negotiations.

“We’ll neutralize any negotiations on the Colorado River Compact. We only stand to lose in that, and we’ll balance property rights with community rights,” Ganahl said.

(Colorado’s drilling rig count has shrunk by more than two-thirds while Polis has been in office. That mirrors the trends seen nationwide, including in conservative states like Texas, amid fluctuating oil prices during the pandemic.)

As the debate closed, Polis tried to pin Ganahl as an extremist, narrowing in on her choice of Danny Moore as her running mate. Moore had questioned the 2020 election results on Facebook, reportedly referring in one post to “the Democrat steal.”

“She chose an election denier,” he said.

Ganahl defended Moore, who is a U.S. Navy veteran and an entrepreneur.

Polis closed out by dubbing Ganahal a “MAGA candidate” citing her own primary election literature, and saying she wants to defund public services, among other charges.

Legend gets tough win over Douglas County

Softball game goes to 10 innings for final 3-1 score

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sometimes a win in a close, hard-fought game can give a team confidence, and that’s the hope of Legend girls softball coach Kristen Shirk.

On the morning of Sept. 26, Legend pulled out a 10-inning, 3-1 win over Douglas County to hand the Huskies their first Continental League loss.

“I felt confident after the Douglas County game but if you would have seen us against ThunderRidge it would have been no,” said Shirk. “We figured it out against Douglas County. This is the team that I know and I hope this is the team that shows up the rest of the year.”

Both Legend and Douglas County played doubleheaders on Sept 26. The Titans whipped Highlands Ranch, 15-0, in a mercy rule game called in the bottom of the third winning. The Huskies notched a 7-2 victory over rival Castle Rock rival Castle View in the afternoon contest.

Legend, the defending 5A state champions who won three of the last five state titles, and Douglas County have been two of the best teams in the Continental League. In games on Sept. 28, Legend downed Rock Canyon, 7-2, while Douglas County whipped Chaparral, 11-2.

Following the games on Sept. 28, Legend (16-4) and Douglas County (16-2) were tied for the league lead with 6-1 records with two games remaining in the league season.

Legend gained the first place tie with the victory over Douglas County.

The Titans left 12 runners on base in the game but came through with key hits in the top of the 10th inning to score two runs.

Senior catcher Emma Harrington singled for her third

Valor runs over Castle View, Littleton takes first loss of season

League play opened in most football leagues in games played between Sept. 29-Oct. 1.

Valor Christian, third-ranked in the Sept. 26 CHSAA.com poll, opened Class 5A League 5 play with a 43-17 win over Castle View (1-5).

Asher Weiner passed for three touchdowns and ran for one for

hit of the game to lead off the 10th. After a sacrifice bunt and a popout, Summer Horn delivered a two-out double to right field to score courtesy runner Avery Rios. Kenzie Sale tacked on a single which drove in the second run of the inning.

“We definitely stranded too many runners but we got the hits at the end when we needed them,” said Shirk.

Douglas County, however, had the tying runs on second and third base in the home half of the 10th but Legend pitcher Cameron Ponich retired the Huskies’ top hitter, Marino Tinari, with a called third strike.

“That was a huge strikeout,” added Shirk. “She (Tinari) is a very good hitter. She had a hit in her previous at-bat.”

Emma Harrington’s double drove home Legend’s first run in the third inning but Douglas County tied the game on Emerson Williams’ sacrifice fly in the fourth inning.

Douglas County coach Katherine Drake said keeping those Legend baserunners from scoring was important.

“With a tough team like Legend you have to capitalize on leaving runners on base,” said Drake. “My pitcher did really good. The defense stepped up and made the big plays when they needed to.”

Tinari was the Huskies starter and allowed 11 hits in 10 innings while Ponich gave up five hits and struck out 12 batters in her 10-inning outing.

“We’ve been dealing with a lot of adversity,” pointed out Drake. “We still have three starters out. Two from a car accident and one from a concussion. We have younger players stepping up for us and really doing well. We’re just taking one game at a time and really coming together and building from each other and really appreciating what we have.”

Legend also was missing a starter with shortstop Kaylynn English sidelined with a knee injury.

Valor (4-2).

Jordan Herron gained 109 yards, ran for two scores and caught a pass for another as top-ranked Cherry Creek (5-1) got off to a good start in the Centennial League with a 34-7 victory over Cherokee Trail.

Rock Canyon (6-0) sprinted to a 28-7 lead at halftime and secured a 32-7 League 5 win over Highlands Ranch (2-4).

Regis Jesuit (3-3) rolled to a 42-7 win over Douglas County (3-3). The Huskies managed only 166 yards of total offense.

Michael Moynihan passed for 173 yards and threw for a touchdown in addition to rushing for two TDs as Arapahoe (3-3) notched a 37-22 Centennial League win over

Smoky Hill.

ThunderRidge turns game around

Grizzlies come back to beat Mountain Vista in double overtime

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ThunderRidge football coach Doug Nisenson didn’t panic when his team fell behind Mountain Vista, its Highlands Ranch neighbor and rival, by three touchdowns.

The Grizzlies, ranked seventh in the Sept. 26 CHSAA.com poll, came back and escaped with a 34-31 double overtime victory over Vista on a game played in rainy weather at Halftime Help Stadium on Sept. 30.

“It was a battle and a great rivalry for sure,” said Nisenson. “Our kids never stopped believing. When we got down big, we knew we were going to win that game.

“We have a lot of seniors and have a lot of experience. A lot of these kids have been starters for three years,“ he continued. “We believe we can climb out of everything and we believe we can fight through any battle and we believed from the start we were going to win the game. We never wavered from that.”

This was a typical contest between the rival schools as the stadium parking lots were filled 45 minutes before the start of the game and fans had to park elsewhere. And when the public address system sputtered during the singing of the national anthem, the crowd took over and sang the patriotic song.

Mountain Vista sophomore quarterback Austyn Modrzewski, one of the state’s leading Class 5A passers, hit Greyson Wiidakes with a 39-yard scoring pass on the first possession of the game, which started a 21-point surge for the Golden Eagles.

However, ThunderRidge rallied and the game was tied at 21-all in the fourth quarter. Both teams failed to score when inside the opponents’ 10-yard line which forced the game to go into overtime.

In high school overtimes, each team gets a possession from the 10-yard line.

ThunderRidge’s Cole Hanchett ran for his second TD of the game on a 10-yard run on the first play of the first overtime. Modrzewski hit Sean Conway on a 7-yard, fourth down pass for ThunderRidge to send the game into the second overtime after the second overtime PAT kick was successful.

Vista started the second OT and Hunter Dell pushed the Golden Eagles ahead 31-28 with a 22-yard field goal.

ThunderRidge, after a pass interference call on Vista, won the game on Fisher’s 1-yard plunge into the end zone.

“The weather just kind of got wetter and wetter in the overtime,” said Nisenson. “We felt like their defense was a little tired and maybe we could just line up and hammer them. It was kind of a no-brainer to just go pound it from the one.”

With the win the Grizzlies improved to 6-0 overall and 1-0 in the Class 5A League 5. Mountain Vista is now 4-2 overall. It was the Grizzlies’ second straight win over Vista and gave ThunderRidge a 14-3 edge in the series between the schools in games since 2004.

“It was a great game,” said Vista coach Garrett Looney. “Unfortunately someone had to lose. We started great and then they started making some plays. Our kids battled all night.

“I was very happy with our effort. They just made a few more plays than we did. They are a good, well coached team that found a way to win a tough game. We’ll bounce back and be fine and keep competing.”

ThunderRidge defenders Max Hughes (26) and Sean Grow (91) bookend Mountain Vista QB Austyn Modrzewski (13) for the tackle. The big Highlands Ranch area rivalry did not disappoint as it took the Grizzlies 2 OT’s to get the 34-31 victory, on September 30th at Halftime Help Stadium.

ThunderRidge QB CJ Reese goes to the turf being upended by Mountain Vista defender Evan Hertz(8) . ThunderRidge battled back from a 21 point deficit in regulation to get the 34-31 with in the second OT on September 30th at Halftime Help Stadium.

just fix it,’” Zenzinger said. “But not really, because if this is voter approved there really is a mandate from the people. And so we’re going to be on the hook having to backfill that money.”

State Sen. Bob Rankin, a Carbon dale Republican who sits on the JBC, shares the concerns of other conserva tives about how Proposition 123 would cut into TABOR refunds. But he also notes the legislature spent hundreds of millions of dollars last year on af fordable housing projects.

“I’d like to know how the money we’ve already allocated to housing is working,” he said.

Rep. Julie McCluskie, a Dillon Demo crat who chairs the JBC, echoed those concerns.

“While I support further invest ments in affordable housing, I think we should all pause and really consid er what sort of pressure (Proposition 123) as well as 121, a reduction in the tax rate, will put on Colorado’s bud get,” she said. “The people in this state expect great public schools, a strong transportation system, high-quality college and university experiences. When we start to look at the depletion of resources, we will impact the ability to deliver those high-quality services. And I think that’s what all of us need to be mindful of.”

Despite her concerns, McCluskie said she’s not sure how she will vote on the measures.

That may be an indication of the in tense politics surrounding them both.

The Colorado Democratic Party and a number of Democratic state lawmakers have endorsed Proposition 123. Its backers include Sens. Rhonda Fields, Jeff Bridges and Julie Gonza

les, as well as Reps. Naquetta Ricks, Cathy Kipp and Lindsey Daugherty.

“Proposition 121 would be devastat ing for Colorado’s ability to meet our financial and budgetary obligations,” Gonzales said. “But in almost every conversation I’ve had with constitu ents, they are urging us to use every tool in our toolbox to address the hous ing affordability crisis.”

She said being able to dedicate a new, annual stream of money to housing affordability “would be both transfor mational and sustainable.”

“I appreciate the JBC’s concern,” Gonzales said. “I think it’s valid and fair and understandable given the budget challenges that we’ve had over the past several years. But if we find ourselves (without a TABOR surplus) we will do what is right to meet our obligations.”

There are separate questions about how the proposition was written. The policy could use some work, says Peter LiFari, executive director of Maiker Housing Partners, Adams County’s public housing authority.

“The pros far outweigh the cons, and we need the measure,” he said, “but the measure has some shortfalls that need to be addressed so that its good points can be maximized.”

LiFari worries about local govern ment buy-in given the strings attached to the program’s funding. But he ap preciates how the measure addresses “all of the needs within the housing continuum.”

Voters will get the opportunity to weigh in Nov. 8.
