A ordable housing initiative could face rocky future

Proposition 123 was approved by Colorado voters

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Few issues affect Coloradans as much as rising housing prices. The state will take a step toward addressing the problem — to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars per year — as officials implement

WHAT COLORADO CURRENTLY DOES ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING

The state partners with local communities to increase and preserve Colorado’s a ordable housing stock, manage rental-assistance vouchers, and address homelessness, says the state’s “blue book” voter guide, noting the state Department of Local A airs is involved.

The current budget for the department’s a ordable housing initiatives is about $200 million, about half of which is from state sources, with the rest coming from federal sources.

Since 2021, the state has allocated more than $1.2 billion from the federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for

a ordable housing and services that address housing insecurity, lack of a ordable and workforce housing, or homelessness. (The Urban Land Institute defines “workforce” households as those earning between 60% and 120% of the area median income.)

These are one-time funds that will be spent over the next several years on:

• Emergency rental assistance;

• Homeowner mortgage assistance;

• Tax credits for developers;

• Housing and infrastructure;

• And other housing solutions, such as manufactured homes.

School district anticipates funding questions on 2023 ballot

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Though voters turned down two funding measures for the Douglas County School District in November, it seems likely the district will return to the ballot in 2023 in an effort to increase staff compensation and build three new elementary schools.

During the Nov. 30 school board retreat, board members and Superintendent Erin Kane evaluated the results of the failed election with a focus on lessons learned, as well as discussed whether to ask for a bond and mill levy override next year.

All of the board members and Kane voiced support for putting a mill levy override and bond on the 2023 ballot.

“Personally, I would love for us to have (the bond and mill levy override) on the ballot in 2023 pretty much exactly as they were, asking for the same things because we didn’t magically find a different way to do it,” Kane said.

Board members were more optimistic about the chances for passing a mill levy override in 2023 because it only failed by around 3,000 votes compared to the bond, which lost by more than 15,000 votes.

Money would go to sta pay

FROM

Proposition 123 approved by voters in November.

In just 12 years, the median cost of a single-family home in the Denver area jumped from about $200,000 to three times that amount, according to the latest report by the Colorado Association of Realtors. The trend was similar statewide.

Under Proposition 123, state offi cials are required to set money aside for more affordable housing and programs to help Coloradans acquire homes and stay housed. Though the measure didn’t raise tax rates to fund those programs, it will, eventually, reduce the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, refunds that Coloradans receive — by $86 per taxpayer for 2024, for example.

Yet voters in November also sought to reduce their taxes and, taken together, the changes could lead to diffi cult decisions down the road, said Scott Wasserman, who leads the nonprofi t Bell Policy Center, which advocates for economic mobility for Coloradans. He called the passage of the measure “bittersweet.”

“I think what makes it bitter is that it passed in conjunction with Proposition 121,” a measure voters approved to lower the state income tax rate, Wasserman said.

Proposition 121 is expected to take a roughly $400-million bite out of the state budget next year while Proposition 123 will eventually increase spending about $290 million yearly.

State Rep. Rod Bockenfeld, a Republican who represents rural areas east of Denver, including parts of Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert counties, did not share Wasserman’s concern that the new measures could be problematic for state spending. However, Bockenfeld, who serves on the state legislature’s Joint Budget Committee, acknowledged the picture could change when the state faces strong economic headwinds.

“There’s a certain point where if we hit a severe downturn and we go into a deep recession, then a reduced tax rate will reduce state revenues,” Bockenfeld said.

Though the state struggles like the rest of the country with high infl ation, the situation hasn’t been

HOW LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WOULD QUALIFY FOR NEW FUNDING

For projects to qualify for funding from Proposition 123, the local governments where the projects are located must commit to increasing a ordable housing by 3% each year and create a fast-track approval process for a ordable housing projects, the state’s “blue book” voter

characterized as a recession or severe, though concerns that could happen linger.

How 123 works

Proposition 123 defi nes affordable housing based on two factors: household income and housing costs, according to the state’s “blue book” voter guide.

Under the proposal, affordable housing means housing for renters making up to 60% of the area median income or homeowners making up to 100% of the area median income. For context, in the metro area, the median income is $117,800, and 60% of median income is $70,700.

Under Proposition 123, local communities have fl exibility to respond to housing needs.

The money could go toward grants and loans to local governments and nonprofi ts to acquire land for affordable housing developments; assistance to develop multifamily rentals, including apartments; programs that help fi rst-time homebuyers; preventing homelessness through rental assistance and eviction defense; and grants to raise capacity at local government land-use departments.

The measure also could support “equity” sharing with tenants in housing projects. Equity is important because it allows people to gain fi nancially from the rising value of their property and do things such as borrow money based on it.

“We know that home equity is a part of how you build intergenerational wealth,” said Wasserman.

He noted that people who are renting don’t have that opportunity to build equity.

Overall, the measure could help create more higher-density, environmentally sustainable homes, according to the voter guide.

Some in the housing industry say they can’t make a profi t building “the kind of housing we need,” Wasserman said.

The measure, he added, tells

guide says.

“If a local government chooses not to meet these requirements, or if it fails to achieve its a ordable housing goals, projects in that municipality or county will be temporarily ineligible for funding from these programs,” the guide says.

housing developers, “‘We’re here to help you make it.’”

TABOR makes for difficult math

But the math isn’t easy. Part of what makes the equation diffi cult is TABOR, the state constitutional amendment that limits government spending. Under TABOR, revenue above the limit — sometimes called a “TABOR surplus” — gets refunded to taxpayers. The $750 rebate check that Coloradans received this year were a result of TABOR.

Colorado is seeing “very large TABOR surpluses,” in the ballpark of $3 billion this year and next year, Wasserman said. Although that sounds like a lot of money, it goes quick.

For example, money from the state’s “general fund” — which supports basic services, like K-12 education and public assistance — recently totaled $12.5 billion.

In years when state revenue comes in over the TABOR limit, Proposition 123 is estimated to decrease the amount returned by $43 per taxpayer in tax year 2023 and $86 per taxpayer in tax year 2024, according to the voter guide.

Meanwhile, Proposition 121, the measure to lower Colorado’s income tax, will also decrease refunds to taxpayers in years when state revenue exceeds TABOR’s limits. In those years, taxpayers generally may end up keeping money that would have been refunded anyway, Bockenfeld said.

“It leaves the money in the pocket of citizens rather than giving it to the government and the government giving it back,” Bockenfeld said.

Education often a target for cuts

Colorado’s new normal under Propositions 123 and 121 may not present hard choices when the economy is strong and the state takes in large sums of tax revenue. But during an economic downturn, Colorado may not see a so-called TABOR surplus of revenue.

That’s when priorities may end up on the cutting block, according to Wasserman.

Proposition 123 allows the state legislature to reduce part of the new housing funding to balance the state budget, according to the state’s voter guide. Essentially, if lawmakers fi nd themselves in enough of a pinch, they can “turn off” parts of the measure, Wasserman said.

The alternative is typically cuts to education, especially higher education, meaning housing and education could be competing not to be cut.

In such a situation, “you’re not able to increase education funding based on growth or needs of schools,” Wasserman said.

In a tight spot, it’s possible state lawmakers could turn off the fl ow of funding to Proposition 123, according to Legislative Council Staff, the nonpartisan research arm at the state Capitol. The measure explicitly contemplates the fact that lawmakers might want to reduce the spending for budget balancing, so it says they are allowed to cut about half. But in practice, lawmakers could cut the spending entirely, according to staff.

Yet whether lawmakers would actually choose to override the will of the voters remains to be seen.

Another complication: When there is enough money, Colorado lawmakers can dip into the TABOR surplus for another purpose. The state allows a property tax exemption for qualifying senior citizens and disabled veterans, referred to as the homestead exemption. The senior homestead exemption can be paid for by the TABOR surplus, Wasserman said, potentially cutting into the available funds for affordable housing.

“That pool of money which is coming from our existing tax rates — it’s a life raft, and it’s like we’re shrinking the size of the life raft,” Wasserman said.

He also looks at Proposition 121 in anticipating future budget problems.

“If the state ends up as a result of this election cutting things, it’s not going to be because of 123 — it’s going to be because of 121,” he claimed. “I can’t be emphatic enough about that. We can shut off parts of 123 … we can never, ever, ever get the money back from 121.”

1 dead, 1 injured in Castle Rock shooting

BY ELLIS ARNOLD

EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An overnight shooting left one person dead and another injured, and police have taken the suspect into custody, according to the Castle Rock Police Department.

The shooting occurred at about 1 a.m. Nov. 29 at an apartment complex near Castle Rock Parkway and Castlegate Drive West, according to police.

That’s in the northwest part of Castle Rock, northwest of the Interstate 25 and U.S. Highway 85 interchange.

The two victims were shot after an alleged fight in a parking lot, according to a news release from Castle

Rock police.

The person who survived was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the news release.

The identity of the deceased victim was to be released by the Douglas County Coroner’s Office.

The suspect fled the scene of the shooting, but “further investigation and interviews” allowed officers to identify him and his whereabouts, the news release said. At about 10 a.m., police located the suspect in a vehicle at the intersection of Wilcox and South streets in the downtown Castle Rock area, according to the news release.

“He was taken into custody without incident, and there is no threat to the public,” police said in the news release.

Police believe the suspect was known to the victims, according to Castle Rock police statements on social media. Investigators are looking into the relationship between the suspect and the victims, the news release said.

Police identified the suspect as 20-year-old Miguel Mercado of Castle Rock.

Police intend to charge Mercado with “numerous felonies” including seconddegree murder and attempted second-degree murder, the news release said.

The formal filing of

charges, or alleged crimes, was to be determined by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the news release said. That’s the DA’s office for Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or anyone with more information to contact the Castle Rock police tip line at 720-7333517 or email CrimeTips@ CRgov.com.

A look at hate crimes in Douglas County

has been bias towards sexual orientation and gender identity.

Spurlock agrees that Douglas County has been following a similar trend.

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office sees very few reported hate crimes, however the offenses that are reported to the police are those motivated by bias towards sexual orientation.

“It’s not something that is prevalent and that we work a lot on, because we just don’t get the reports on them,” said Sheriff Tony Spurlock, “I’m not saying it is not happening, we’re just not getting them reported.”

According to the latest report from the Department of Justice, between 2018-2020, all bias motivation categories have increased with an exception of a slight decrease in religion and disability. The category that has had the largest increase

Bias motivated by race has been another reported hate crime in Douglas County in a county that is predominantly white. The July 1, 2021 U.S. Census Bureau estimates Douglas County’s population to be nearly 368,990. Of that population, 88.7% are white.

Spurlock believes the large caucasion population of Douglas County has an influence on the types of hate crimes reported.

“So I would say that’s probably one of the reasons we don’t get a lot of reporting crime because of that percentage number,” said Spurlock.

Nationally, reported hate crime offenses are often against persons, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. On the other hand, Spurlock believes reported offenses in Douglas County are often against property with vandalization and

spray painting of buildings or fences.

“We often get criminal mischief,” said Spulock, “People will write something that is derogatory about a particular LGBTQ community or something, it’s spray painting on the side of a fence. The crime is criminal mischief with an underlying crime of a hate crime.”

As hate crimes have continued to increase, Spurlock encourages those who are being victimized to report the incident.

“I would always encourage them to report it so it can be investigated and then those who are the perpetrators are held responsible, not

only by the justice system but by the community,’ said Spurlock.

Douglas County adheres to the federal definition of a hate crime. A crime motivated by bias against race, color, national origion, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity.

Report a hate crime by calling 303660-7505, or through the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office online reporting system. The website does mention that residents of the Town of Castle Rock, the Town of Parker and the City of Lone Tree should submit their reports with those police departments.

Commissioners, sta highlight goals

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County elected officials and department heads held a quarterly meeting to discuss current and future projects, budget and business updates with the county commissioners.

While there was a lot to discuss, primary concerns centered around rent assistance and general assistance.

During the Nov. 28 meeting, Director of Human Services Dan Makelky said there has been a 30% to 40% increase in rent assistance applications. Mapping of applications shows some are coming from out of state. A fair amount of new applications are from those moving into multifamily homes.

The Douglas County Department of Health Services has nearly $40,000 in general assistance. This money is used to help people with unexpected issues such as a car breaking down, burials or paying utilities.

“We have not been utilizing that as much as we did prior to the ERA (Emergency Rental Assistance) funds coming into the county because we haven’t had to,” said Makelky, “Once those funds stop, we won’t be able to

offer the same amount of money people are getting through the ERA funds and all of the nonprofi ts that are distributing those dollars.”

The Mental Health Initiative, funded with American Rescue Plan Act dollars, has two programs that will begin after the fi rst of the year.

The Veterans Mental Health Initiative, awarded $404,300 in federal funds, will have mental health services provided by veterans themselves or by family members who are licensed clinicians that understand military life.

The Suicide Prevention grant will be issued at the start of 2023 with intentions to make those awards by the end of the fi rst quarter of the new year..

There are three grants of nearly $650,000 going to the Mental Health Initiative.

As Colorado enters a season of snow and wildfi res, safety precautions were discussed between the elected offi cials and commissioners.

In light of a drowning that took place at Crystal Lake in Roxborough Park just before Thanksgiving, Commissioner George Teal suggested a public information campaign about ice safety on lakes.

In-commission fighting continues

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During a recent press conference, Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas announced the results of a second investigation involving allegations of First Degree Official Misconduct.

The investigation was conducted by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. The investigation was ordered by commissioners Abe Laydon and George Teal.

The allegations towards Thomas were based on the use and release of an anonymous letter sent to the Board of County Commissioners on April 29,2019 and whether the information in the document was used in her 2022 campaign for Douglas County Sheriff.

“My decision to hold this press conference, past experience has made it clear that Laydon and Teal were not interested in making the public aware of the status of yet another bogus investigation by them, particularly since it once again resulted in nothing but wasted government resources,” said Thomas.

According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Inter-Office Correspondence/Memorandum of Nov. 3, there was no probable cause

to believe that the crime of C.R.S. 18-8-404, First Degree Official Misconduct was committed.

Around June 21, 2022 Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock requested assistance from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a criminal investigation into the allegations.

“The Colorado criminal code does not specifically prohibit a waiver of privileged and confidential information by a privilege holder. In this case, as a member of the Board of County Commissioners, Lora Thomas is a privilege holder,” Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Bruce Peterson wrote in the memorandum..

In response, Laydon released a public statement concerning the press conference.

“A gross misinterpretation of the law aside (our counsel has made it clear the privilege holder is the board, not the individual director contrary to the Arapahoe Sheriff’s Office statement),” said Laydon, “Lora Thomas defaming first responders using their personal identifying information and leaking a privileged document to the press is bad behavior and would not be tolerated on any board, including ours.”

Thomas started the Nov. 23 press conference by showing a compilation video of Laydon and Teal claiming Thomas is a “cancer,”

“divisive,” “unethical” and “hostile.”

“The purpose behind this brief video was not only to give a small sample of the hostility and antagonism with which I have had to consistently deal for the past 20 months, but to illustrate that Laydon’s recent rhetoric regarding ‘civility’ is just so much phony, insincere misdirection from his,/ Teal’s egregious conduct for the past several months,” said Thomas.

Laydon also mentioned in his public statement that Thomas has not held herself with professionalism and civility. He ended his statement showing gratitude towards the policies the board has adopted, which have consequences when directors abuse their position.

The revised 2022 Board of County Commissioners Policy Manual states, “Commissioners shall support the maintenance of a positive, professional, and productive workplace environment at the county and inspire confidence in the functioning of county government,” and, “Commissioners shall conduct themselves at all times in a manner that is professional, respectful, courteous, and civil toward one another and those with whom they engage in their official capacity,”

duct, Laydon said on the rare occasion, he is pointed in his commentary that aims to identify and fight against uncivil and divisive people.

“Which in my four years has only been one individual,” said Laydon referencing Thomas, “Even the most professional doctor won’t ignore a malignant tumor, the good gardener doesn’t let weeds persist.”

Teal responded to Colorado Community Media saying, “To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never had a full investigation initiated against me, or have I had an HR complaint made against me in creating a hostile work environment, like what prompted the investigation against Commissioner Thomas.”

freezing over like other parts of the country. With people moving into the county from areas where they are accustomed to walking and skating on ice, Teal asked Sheriff Tony Spurlock if there would be any value in creating a public information campaign on ice safety on lakes.

As four children fell through the ice on the lake, Spurlock agreed there is not a lot of education on ice safety in the county and said he wants to get the fire department involved in some of the public service messaging.

Other county updates included the board’s approval of a senior center to be built off Highlands Ranch Parkway and Broadway.

My partner and I have been talking the last few months about getting our Wills and Planning documents together. My partner, however, remains skeptical that we need to do anything at all. He is of the mind that a Will does not change anything when you pass away because it “didn’t work for his mother.” Can you offer some insight?

Sincerely, Concerned Cathy Cathy, We would caution just about anyone who takes this approach. Your Estate Plans are extremely important to ensuring that your Estate is properly passed onto your loved ones, regardless of who that might be.

A lack of Estate Planning can cause quite a few issues. First off, without proper Power’s of Attorney, your loved one’s lack the legal ability to help manage the financial side of your Estate during times of both mental and physical incapacity. Without a Proper Medical Power’s of Attorney, your loved one’s lack the legal authority to make healthcare decisions for you (including level of pain management and hospice care). Without a properly drafted Will, you are forfeiting the ability of your Fiduciaries to help distribute and manage your Estate after your passing. Essentially, you are giving that power to the Courts. This is an extremely slow and costly process, and rarely do the Courts ever have the decedent’s wishes in mind.

Having an Attorney draft a Will and Powers of Attorney are just a few ways to ensure your goals are met both during life and after death. However, they remain some of the most basic and effective tools to do so.

With a properly established and funded Estate Plan, we can ensure that you have the ability to give what you want, to whom you want, when you want, the way you want. During that process we can help you save money on every court cost, legal fee, professional fee, and tax fee legally possible.

Estate planning is never about how much you have, but how much you care about what you have.

Board member Christy Williams said she felt the bond would have gained more traction with voters if there had been more focus on the fact that the bond would not have raised taxes if it was passed. Since the bond failed, Douglas County taxpayers will see a small decrease in property taxes.

“It was really discouraging to see the distance there, especially with a net-zero (tax impact),” Williams said.

Other members, including Kaylee Winegar and Susan Meek, agreed that the district needed to do better about communicating the actual cost of the bond to taxpayers.

Kane said she pushed for the ballot language for the bond to include the terminology “without raising taxes,” but was told by district lawyers that they couldn’t use the phrase.

She added that the bond still saw an increase in the number of voters who supported it compared to district polling done in May 2022, which showed only 36% of voters would approve a bond. The final vote count from Nov. 8 shows 46% support for the bond.

Ultimately, Kane said the district’s financial position will not be much different next year and putting off asking for a bond would probably increase the cost for building and maintaining schools.

“I would be concerned if the board did decide to ask for just (the mill levy override) and not (the

bond) because I feel like the path to some of those new schools would be insurmountable,” she said.

Another message board members hope to focus on ahead of the 2023 election is how financially responsible the district already is with taxpayer money.

Board member Becky Myers said more promotion of the cost-cutting measures the district is currently taking, such as its low administrative costs, could help show voters the district is a good steward of its finances.

When it comes time for budgeting, board member David Ray said he would like to see a model budget that includes a $60 million compensation increase for staff in an effort to show what cuts would have to be made in order to give the raise.

“If our goal is to reasonably pay all of our employees, we ought to build a budget accordingly,” Ray said. “What would that look like and what would we have to sacrifice?”

Some board members shared concerns that Ray’s plan could backfire and have voters argue that the district didn’t need the mill levy override to raise pay in the first place, but they did agree that the district could do better to communicate what is lost when funding isn’t passed.

“I agree that the part that was missing for the larger community is what’s the offset,” board member Mike Peterson said. “We’d be changing the value proposition of the (mill levy override) from ‘give us this money and we can be more competitive to retain and attract and reward staff,’... because we’ll do that internally and now we’re asking ‘if you want your programs back, give us the (mill levy override).’”

Beyond observations, the board also asked Kane to look into data comparing the 2018 and 2022 elections, the precinct-level breakdown for the 2022 election and potentially surveying voters about why they didn’t support the bond and/or mill levy override.

Other ideas for messaging included having students and teachers share school specific needs the money could be used for and a suggestion from Meek that the district should say its aiming for “reasonable pay” for staff instead of “competitve pay.”

Meek added that she would support the district hiring a consulting firm to assist with the 2023 campaign.

The board wrapped up the conversation with a plan to return to the topic at a January meeting and direct staff to begin evaluating the need for a bond and mill levy override.

On top of the potential funding questions, the school board has three seats, currently represented by Meek, Ray and board member Elizabeth Hanson, up for election. Ray is term-limited and Meek and Hanson have not commented about seeking reelection.

Douglas County School Board President Mike Peterson speaks at the retreat on Aug. 6 at the Legacy Campus in Parker. Board members met in the first of a two-part retreat to discuss trust and norms.

LOCAL VOICES

A positive direction

Last year, I wrote a column about wanting more kindness in the world and a lot less politics in the public. I used our annual craft show as an example.

EDITOR’S COLUMN

In 2021, we had to have someone removed who was spreading his political views and making a lot of people uncomfortable. We had complaint about not requiring masks. We had complaints from those not in masks.

In reality, it was a pretty negative day, leaving my husband and me feeling a little deflated and pessimistic about the state of our local communities.

This year, we hosted the same craft show at Douglas County Fairgrounds over Thanksgiving weekend. I can’t even begin to explain the difference in attitudes with our vendors and public.

In general, everyone was happy. They were kind and seemed genuinely happy to be out and about supporting local businesses and the local community.

We had thousands of people come to the show and everyone had bigger smiles and better attitudes, and they left my husband and me feeling a lot better about the community this year.

Are things perfect? No. We still have a lot of anger out there. We still have a lot of people believing only one side of a political debate is right — that being theirs.

However, we have a lot less of it in places where it is not welcome. At community events, people are coming out and showing kindness to one another. We have a lot more human decency over anger and disdain at local events.

I often say the pandemic brought out the worst in the world. From fear and anger to misinformation and political views — We did not behave at our best as a society in the face of controversy and trouble.

Are we finally recovering from that? I truly hope so.

I am of the belief that most people in this world are good. I believe most are well-intentioned. I believe anger and lack of kindness was a blip and we have learned we can disagree or be upset — but we do not have to make it about everything we do and everywhere we go.

Here’s to our local residents and community leaders who have worked to set a better example in 2022 and create a much more friendly atmosphere for something like a holiday craft show.

I realize with all the hate crimes, tragedy and continued violence that is unnecessary in this world — this seems like a small drop in the bucket but it is something to build on. I cannot begin to express the sadness I had after the 2021 craft show when so many were hateful and angry through the two-day event.

Let’s hope the work to be better, happier and more accepting continues in 2023. Let’s hope in 2023, we can have fewer tragedies and more positives to build on as I believe we did in 2022.

Lighten the load and brighten the mood

WINNING

She had gone out for a run, and it wasn’t until she was more than a half mile away before she realized that she had left her phone at home. The reason she became aware of the missing phone was because she felt just a little bit lighter. The average cell phone weighs under 0.5 pounds and as she returned from her run, she thought about why she could feel such a slight difference as she

As she shared her story with me, we began creating a list of possibilities for how such an insignificant amount of weight could have had such a noticeable impact. We tossed around ideas that had more to do with the size of the device and not the weight and how that may have prompted her to notice that her phone was missing. And then we kicked around a few silly ideas before settling on what was probably the real reason.

She started to talk about all the things she has on her phone, everything from several screens loaded with dozens of apps, several games, tens of thousands of photos, work-related tools such as her email and calendar, and all the social media platforms. Among her apps were at least 10 news feeds which she checked regularly. We hypothesized that although none of these carry any physical weight, they certainly carry with them emotional and stressful weights that when we don’t have access to them for even the shortest amount of time, we can begin to feel a little lighter and the world seems a little brighter.

Maybe we can all relate to this a little bit when we think about all the weight that comes with our own cell phones that we carry. The need to be in the know at all times about what is happening with our family and friends. Feeling obligated to check every email or text and respond immediately. Experiencing withdrawals if we do not open our news feeds to make sure we know what is going on in our

town, state, country, and around the world. And not only making sure we check the news, but we also must check multiple sites to try and find the truth as we never know who or what to believe.

As we continued our conversation, going into the details of what is contained on her phone, she realized just how heavy that phone really was. And to run for a few miles without it and feel just the slightest bit lighter now made all the sense in the world. She made the commitment to herself that she would start to eliminate the apps, games, and tools and minimize the amount of time she stayed glued to her phone. She also planned to leave her phone at home whenever she would go for another run. Her plan was to lighten the load to brighten the mood each day.

Acclaimed author and motivational speaker Krish Dhanam talks about how we can put a little more pep in each step and bounce in each ounce. And that is exactly what I recommend for all of us, to put a little more pep in each step and bounce in each ounce by determining what we allow into our lives, to become planted in our minds, and to penetrate our hearts, letting the good stuff in and keeping the bad stuff out. Identifying where all that weight that sits upon our shoulders is coming from and remove it not only from our phones but from anywhere else it has established a foothold in our life.

As we head into the holiday season, it is the perfect time of year to minimize our burdens, stressors, fears, worries and doubts, and focus on all the people and opportunities in our life that brings us peace, joy, hope, and love. I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember to lighten the load and brighten the mood, it really will be a better than good life.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

‘A Christmas Story’ for everyone at Miners Alley

There are some stories that you can’t even remember when you first encountered them — they just seem to have always been around. For countless families, the immortal film “A Christmas Story” is a perfect example of this phenomenon.

While most of us are familiar with it on the screen, Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, has brought “A Christmas Story” to the stage and will be running it through Friday, Dec. 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The Dec. 22 is a special benefit performance for the children’s theater program that will feature a visit from Santa, special beverages and more.

We spoke to director Rory Pierce about the show, bringing a classic to the stage and more.

Interview edited for clarity and brevity.

Tell me about the show: People have grown up listening to the stories of Ralphie Parker’s childhood and now know them almost as well as they know their own. It is a classic tale of Christmas, filled with best friends, budding romances and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Concerned about parent group

“Kane honored by Colorado Parent Advocacy Network” in the Nov. 24 edition explains a new group of parents called the “Parent Advocacy Network.” I assume it advocates for parents, not children. The reason I assume this is that the parents and superintendent tout a school atmosphere that invites (what may be intrusive) parenting into the schools. Poor teachers, but more importantly, poor children!

As a foster parent of abused and neglected children for 26 years, I am very clear that not all children escape abuse and neglect at the hands and minds of their parents. Also, children are not property - they are people just like adults. Sometimes, the state must be involved.

The saddest thing for the children, however, is the words about what children will learn, which does not include critical race theory (in so doing, you are discriminating against children of color who need to have their backgrounds understood), (so called) “woke” curriculum (which means there will be no empathy or compassion taught about others less fortunate) or indoctrinating kids. (Yes, except you refuse to teach them real history).

God made every person as they are. No one chooses to be sexual, asexual, trans or other, just like no one chooses the color of his or her skin. Good parents are those who accept a child who realizes his sexuality is different than heterosexual, and, despite other hateful people, supports that child through medical needs due to the sexuality God gave this child. Only uneducated people don’t realize this or just don’t care.

When only white, heterosexual

the longing for the best Christmas gift.

Why did you select this as this year’s holiday show?

“A Christmas Story” hits so many of the notes that people look for during the holidays: family, friendship, humor, tenderness and nostalgia for a time long gone but never forgotten.

What are the challenges of bringing a well-known story to the stage in such a different form?

Doing a show that so many people already know does bring its own set of challenges. We know that the characters on the stage will not look like the people in the film. The house cannot be recreated on the stage and we certainly cannot bring the winters on the shores of Lake Michigan in Indiana to the stage either.

But we can bring back memories of our childhood. The days when snowbanks towered over our heads. When the problems we needed to solve seemed almost insurmountable. When moms and dads were our true heroes and bullies were not unbeatable.

What has the audience reaction been like so far?

I couldn’t be happier with the way the audience has embraced this show. From people who know the movies so well they watch it multiple times every year, to the people that have never heard of it before, they have all left the theater with

smiles on their faces and warmth in their hearts. And they have shared their feelings about the show with us both at intermission and on their way out.

If people aren’t familiar with the story, what do you want them to know about what they can expect?

If you know nothing about this story, get ready for a Christmas adventure that will remind you of your youth and make you glad you came.

What do you hope audiences come away with?

As people leave, I just hope they think of the holidays as a time for family, fun, and unforgettable memories.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Smile at Mission Ballroom

Who knows if we’ll ever get a proper Radiohead album again. It is certainly not something we can rule out, but in the meantime, we’ve got The Smile, which features almost half Radiohead’s members - Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, as well as producer Nigel Godrich - and drummer Tom Skinner.

The group released their debut album, “A Light for Attracting Attention,” this year and it’s one of 2022’s best releases. In support of the album, The Smile will be performing at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 and Sunday, Dec. 11. They’ll be joined by opener Robert Stillman.

children are accepted in a school district, there are problems galore in the homes of that district, and the children so raised will grow up to be haters and intolerant of anyone different than them.

This, people, contrary to what Kane said, is very political, as much as it is horrifying. Shame on all of you for not teaching what we need more of: compassion, real history (no matter how bad it makes the white guy (such as me) look), and tolerance for those born differently, as God intended.

Wise up, Douglas County School Board and the parent groups asserting their ownership of their children: You are doing a grave disservice to the children of this county.

Laydon’s definition di ers

I would like to comment on the article titled “Laydon comes out as aesthete.” I find it interesting that Mr. Laydon’s definition is different than the dictionary’s which is “one having or affecting sensitivity to the beautiful especially in art.” There is no mention of gender or sexuality in this definition.

In the article, it mentions that Garrett Royer, a representative for One Colorado, an LGBTQ advocacy organization, was unfamiliar with the term that Laydon identifies with. I think there are enough terms or labels being used currently by the LGBTQ+ community to describe one’s status and we don’t need to change or add to the definitions of words that are not specifically related to gender.

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The lettuce is blooming nicely on the rollaway walls.

According to the farmer’s iPad, the calibrated nutrients are flowing smoothly and accurately through the tubes.

It’s 30 degrees outside, but there’s a tantalizing garden of tangy, restaurant-ready produce inside this cozy, pristine shipping container.

Somewhere behind and among the pawn shops and the gas stations and the used tire traders and the body shops along South Broadway, on a former used car lot on Acoma Street, a couple

of snazzy high-tech containers are parked to start an urban farming revolution.

Ullr’s Garden, launched a few months ago by a couple of brothers who want to save the world and sell some sustainable arugula, is growing the equivalent of a 10-acre farm on a dusty 7,500-square-foot lot. The lettuce and arugula and basil and romaine grow horizontally, while hanging from moveable walls packed inside the climatecontrolled trailers. The farmers sit at a folding table in the nearby shed and plot their next expansion: stackable farm containers.

Nick Millisor, one of the brothers behind Ullr’s Garden, still can’t believe they’re doing what they’re doing.

“We are growing local produce, in the middle of Denver, on an old used car lot, the kind you used to roll your car windows up when you

drove by,” Millisor laughs.

Vertical farms don’t stint on flavor

And their stuff tastes great. The emerald green basil snaps with a hint of licorice. The arugula is laced with a wild mustard flavor. The butter lettuce, sold with root ball intact, has an earthy flavor belying the fact the growing walls are purposefully insulated from any local dirt.

One trailer with 365 days of optimal growing conditions can produce the equivalent of a 5-acre seasonal farm, Nick and Luke Millisor say. Employing a closed loop for the water and nutrients, each trailer uses up only five gallons a day from water buffaloes they fill offsite.

“We don’t even have a water tap here yet,” Nick laughed.

And when the weather turns truly frigid, say 10 degrees from a recent overnight snow, a conscientious farmer can check on the baby bibb while sitting at home in bed with a laptop.

“If anything isn’t running optimal-

ly, the farm will literally send me a text message,” Nick said, waving his iPhone over the transplanting tables. Sensors throughout the trailer are connected to wi-fi.

Urban farming and hydroponics a great mix, experts say

Independent experts on vertical, hydroponic farming say they can’t predict the success of Ullr’s business model, but agree the revolution in well-designed shipping containers could indeed preserve the environment and extend better nutrition to remote consumers.

Rising world population, scarce water amid climate change and urban neighborhoods neglected by fresh food stores, “these are the multifaceted reasons why we’re seeing this surge in interest,” said Josh Craver, an assistant professor in controlled environment horticulture at Colorado State

Ullr’s Garden grows tangy artisanal arugula in climate-controlled trailers

University.

“It’s not hard to see pretty quickly that you can produce, per square foot, way more food in these containers than you can in the field,” Craver said.

We are growing local produce, in the middle of Denver, on an old used car lot, the kind you used to roll your car windows up when you drove by.

The Ullr’s Garden name for their parking lot container farm honors the brothers’ time grow ing up skiing in Breckenridge, home to the Ullr Fest winter sports party. Nick Millisor comes at farming with all the technical skills of a self-described liberal arts eclectic and sci-fi nerd. He’d been toiling in real estate when the strange winds of COVID and climate change turned his 2021 up side down and he went in search of a meaningful project to better the world.

There was a week where Ger many flooded and the West was burning and a Canadian heat wave was cooking shellfish alive in the ocean.

“I didn’t want to deal with super-rich people’s problems with real estate anymore,” Nick Milli sor said. “And so I convinced my brother to join me, and then my cousin, and I was like, ‘You just want to do something crazy and start growing food in a container?’ And they said yes.”

Luke Millisor supplied the actual technical knowledge, from his experience managing a neuroscience lab at University of Colorado. Colorado’s increasing water challenges led them toward water-stingy hydroponic farming and to the equipment catalogs of storage container outfitters.

“We’re not the only ones doing this you know. I would love to say that we’re the pioneers behind this, but a lot of smarter people have basically led us to this point where this technology is almost automatic,” Nick Millisor said. “It’s so easy. I mean, I have zero experience farming, other than growing some stuff in my mom’s garden as a kid.”

Ullr’s Garden sent itself to in door farm training

The container outfitters sup

plied a two-day boot camp on vertical farming.

The would-be farmers learned there’s almost zero water use in the latest designs, no contamination of runoff with excess fertilizer or pesticides, precise control of nutrients, efficient LED lighting powered by clean electricity. They have two electric vehicles to deliver produce within a 5-mile radius, boosting their effort to become carbon neutral with the overall operation. Leaving the root ball on a head of lettuce helps it last on the shelf for a couple of weeks and reduces food waste.

A fully outfitted container, with 24,000 individual LED pinpoint lights and temperature controlled at 68 to 70 degrees, costs about $170,000, Nick Millisor said. Ullr’s Garden can grow 500 varieties of produce to meet the whims of the market, and tweak the grow lights for goals as esoteric as the optimal color of a red lettuce leaf.

Accelerating efficiencies in lighting and heating have powered the surge in hydroponic container farms, said CSU’s Craver. Old grow lamps built up too much heat, while improved LEDs produce precise photons that the plant can employ for photosynthesis.

“So we really are sitting on the shoulders of giants on this one,” Nick Millisor said.

Vertical and remote, but not out of touch

As the water drips down the wall channels and then recirculates, sensors constantly check pH and mineral levels, among other growth factors. Reserve tanks dribble in supplement adjustments to the mix at the touch of the iPad. Key in siting the containers is pouring concrete footings at a 2% tilt to guarantee the water flow.

Most varieties started from seeds are ready in six to seven weeks. Harvesting means clean scissors trimming the walls, or pulling whole heads with root balls.

Now, about that business model. Negotiating with individual restaurants may not be the full answer, though Ullr’s Garden is in talks with a few looking for local supply and input into the varieties. The next challenge for the Millisors, joined by cousin and chief financial officer Ian

Randall, is to launch a farm share program.

Other farm share subscriptions are popular in summer and fall, with buyers picking up or getting delivered a box of outdoors-grown seasonal items ranging from lettuce to tomatoes to squash. But the outdoor shares run out by late fall, where Ullr’s Garden can deliver lettuce, herbs and other greens year-round. The company has 150 shares on sale now, to be delivered within the 5-mile radius.

A prime calculation in closequarters farming, Craver said, is which plants draw top dollar for the space they take up. Corn is all fibrous scaffolding, producing a handful of kernels that sell for 25 cents an ear. Root ball lettuce is nearly 100% edible, and can retail for $5 or $6 a head.

There are large hydroponic operations in metro Denver that appear to be thriving, Craver said, and smaller operations like Ullr’s Garden are busy figuring out their costs and a workable scale.

“When you look at the business model, it definitely does work,” Craver said.

I didn’t want to deal with super-rich people’s problems with real estate anymore … I was like, ‘You just want to do something crazy and start growing food in a container?’ And they said yes.

Of course, there’s a lucrative container model selling billions of dollars of product a year in Colorado — marijuana. The Millisors, though, are adamant they want to feed the world, not medicate it.

Denver’s zoning office is well organized to approve urban farming, Nick Millisor said, but they did have to address the elephant in the container.

“I was like, ‘I’m doing a hydroponic garden,’ and you could just see it in their eyes, oh

no, there’s another one, and I was like, ‘Not marijuana! Not marijuana!’ And she’s like, okay, STAMP, get out of here.’ ”

Container farms could be stackable

The Ullr’s Garden trio plots their next move from underneath the modest shed looking out on the lot. If marketing picks up and the consumer-direct shares work out, there’s room for expansion with ground space for two or three more containers.

Plus, as anyone who’s seen a modern port city can tell you, they’re stackable. Ullr’s Garden anticipates going at least a second story of vertical, and perhaps more if the zoning folks are feeling frisky.

They’re considering transforming the shed into an events and education space, knowing that schoolchildren would thrive on a cool hydroponics and LED lesson.

As for the pro

duce, they’re still considering winter decorative flowers, edible flowers that could draw top dollar, and radishes. One grower figured out how to do hops indoors, another grew berries, though that may not scale up to be useful.

One constant, besides the 68 degrees inside the trailers, is how welcoming and helpful everyone in vertical farming has been in sharing tips with Ullr’s Garden, Nick Millisor said.

“Everyone has the tool. Now everyone’s kind of figuring out how best to use it,” he said. “And that’s what I think is most exciting for me.”

Creek wins fourth straight 5A title

Bruins beat Valor 24-17 at Empower Field

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A strong second-half comeback helped Cherry Creek capture its fourth straight Class 5A state football title on Dec. 3 with a 24-17 victory over Valor Christian at Empower Field.

It was the Bruins 13th state championship trophy that the team brought home to Greenwood Village and marked a Colorado-best 11th state title won by Creek head coach Dave Logan at four different schools.

Logan won a state crown at Arvada West, one at Chatfield, four at Mullen and now five at Cherry Creek.

“It means I’ve been blessed to coach 30 years, and the core group of my staff has been with me for 25 or so years, which has been a big part of my success,” said Logan. “And I’ve been blessed to have great players who buy in, worked hard and do the right things.”

Cherry Creek, which finished with a 12-2 record, at times did not look like a title team in the first half. A missed field, two interceptions and a botched fourthdown play by the Bruins helped Valor take a 7-3 halftime lead.

It was the third consecutive year that Creek and Valor have played in the 5A state championship game and this was the closest outcome after two previous 21-0 wins for the Bruins.

“We gave away a game late in the season (to Grandview) and it was an eye-opener for us,” added Logan. “We don’t give games away. We gave up things in the first half. We

had self-inflicted wounds. We had two interceptions, we got stopped on a fourth and one and we missed a field goal. I was proud of the way we bounced back in the second half.”

Cherry Creek took the second-half kickoff and moved 66 yards on two plays with senior Carlson (Bubba) Tann scoring on a 16-yard run to push Creek into a 10-7 lead only 39 seconds into the second half.

Senior quarterback Brian Rudden, who replaced freshman starting quarterback Brady Vodicka, tossed a 39-yard touchdown pass to

Ismael Cisse with 7:34 left in the third period to go up 17-7.

Creek was on the move on its third possession of the half but lost a fumble at Valor’s 18-yard line and the Eagles responded with a 24-yard field goal by Jeremy Claycamp with seven seconds remaining in the third period.

Bruins standout linebacker Blake Purchase scored on a 4-yard run as Creek went ahead 24-10 with 6:10 still to play in the game. Valor then got a late TD on an Asher Weiner to Cash Spence 28yard scoring strike for the

final TD of the game.

Purchase was tucked in behind the offensive line for his touchdown and looked like an extra blocker.

“I was hiding behind the line, waiting for the hole then I took off and scored,” he said of what turned out to be the game-winning TD.

Valor Christian coach Bret McGatlin said Creek made the right adjustments in the second half.

“They adjusted well,” he said. “They countered what we were trying to do and executed real well and had a couple big plays which we didn’t allow in the first half.

We were lucky enough to go in with the lead after the first half. I’m proud of our guys.

“It was a heck of a season,” McGatlin said of the Eagles’ 11-3 campaign. “Losing 19 of 22 starters from last year, no one thought we would be here.We made it here with a bunch of overachievers. I wasn’t happy with today but we will be back.”

Tann finished with 164 yards rushing as the Bruins wound up with 303 yards rushing that included 183 in

Lutheran falls in 3A finale

Lions held lead four times before losing to Roosevelt

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lutheran took another step forward despite losing to Roosevelt 34-24 in the Class 3A state championship football game played

on Dec. 3 at the Thunderbowl in Pueblo.

“The year before we made the quarterfinals,” said Lutheran coach Stephen Robbins, “then last year we were in the semifinals, this year the state championship, so we hope that trend keeps going and we’ll have a state championship next year. It will take a lot of work.”

The Lutheran Lions from Parker went 11-3 this

season while Johnstown school Roosevelt wrapped up an undefeated 14-0 campaign.

In the finals against Roosevelt there were four lead changes. Lutheran led 10-0, 17-7, 17-14 and 24-21 before the Rough Riders scored 13 points in the fourth quarter to get the victory.

“A couple turnovers and this and that will do it but it was good,” said Robbins. “I hate being on the losing end

but I’m proud of our guys. It was a fun game and a fun experience to be a part of.

“We had a phenomenal season. League champions, state runner-up and the guys did well. It’s hard but nobody is playing football in Colorado next week so we’re doing all right. Our kids battled. Roosevelt is such a good team. We’re going to keep at it knowing we battled one of the best teams in the state.”

Lutheran quarterback Ryken Daugaard, who came into the game as the second leading Class 3A passer with 2,475 yards, completed eight of 20 passes against Roosevelt for 116 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Ryan Kenny was the Lions’ leading ball carrier with 52 yards on 19 carries while Chace Sorenson caught five passes for 72 yards and a touchdown.

Cherry Creek players celebrate their “Four-Peat” state football championship. The Bruins defeated Valor Christian 24-17 on Dec. 3 at Empower Field in Denver to extend their victory streak for another year.

the second half.

He pointed out that the Bruins offensive line of Hank Zilinskas, Andre Burton, Hayden Treter, Taki Dadiotis and Max Parrott stepped up.

“The difference in the second half was probably the O (offensive) line. The O line was blocking hard in the second half. They were blocking good the first half too but the second half, they just turned it up. They just came out and got it done.

“It’s amazing to be out here with these guys and get the fourth straight (state title) win. It’s a great feeling. The defense has been great all season. It’s a great feeling for all of us. To get back and win this game, feels amazing.”

Rudden ended up completing two of the three passes he attempted for 94 yards and a TD. Chase Brackney led the Creek defense with 10 tackles and two sacks. Purchase had nine tackles and Aiden Knapke had seven total tackles.

“It was a team effort on defense,” said Logan, “with Chase (Brackney), Logan (Brantley), Ezran (Rice) and Angelo (Petrides). We played without starting inside linebacker (Petrides), who didn’t play in the second half with a shoulder injury. So we were down. Jake Howell played very, very well. We knew

we had to play physical up front. I was proud of that.”

Weiner completed 10 of 21 passes for 150 yards and one Valor TD.

Greg McDonald was the Eagles leading rusher with 45 yards and one TD. Gavin Bibik, Alexander Jordan and McDonald all were in on six tackles for the Eagles defense.

SUMMONS FOR ALLOCATION OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES

To the Respondent named above this Sum mons serves as a notice to appear in this case.

If you were served in the State of Colorado, you must file your Response with the clerk of this Court

within 21 days after this Summons is served on you to participate in this action.

If you were served outside of the State of Colorado or you were served by publication, you must file your Response with the clerk of this Court within 35 days after this Summons is served on you to participate in this action.

The Petition requests that the Court enter a Order addressing issues involving the children such as, child support, allocation of parental responsibilities, (decision-making and parenting time), attorney fees, and costs to the extent the Court has jurisdiction.

Notice: Colorado Revised Statutes §14-10-123, provides that upon the filing of a Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibili ties by the Petitioner and Co-Petitioner, or upon personal service of the Petition and Summons on the Respondent, or upon waiver and acceptance of service by the Respondent, an automatic temporary injunction shall be in effect against both parties until the Final Order is entered, or the Petition is dismissed, or until further Order of the Court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders, an expanded automatic temporary injunction, or modification or revocation under §14-10-125, C.R.S.

A request for genetic tests shall not prejudice the requesting party in matters concerning allocation of parental responsibilities pursuant to §14-10124(1.5), C.R.S. If genetic tests are not obtained prior to a legal establishment of paternity and submitted into evidence prior to the entry of the final order, the genetic tests may not be allowed into evidence at a later date.

Automatic Temporary Injunction – By Order of Colorado law, you and the other parties: 1. Are enjoined from molesting or disturbing the peace of the other party; and 2. Are restrained from removing the minor child(ren) from the state without the consent of all parties or an Order of the Court modifying the injunction; and 3. Are restrained, without at least 14 days advance notification and the written consent of all other parties or an Order of the Court, from cancelling, modifying, terminating, or al lowing to lapse for nonpayment of premiums, any policy of health insurance or life insurance that provides coverage to the minor child(ren) as a beneficiary of a policy.

If you fail to file a Response in this case, any or all of the matters above, or any related matters which come before this Court, may be decided without further notice to you.
