Daughter died in 2020 from fentanyl poisoning

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Patti Lujan sees butter ies, she thinks of her daughter, Lauren, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 18.

A senior at Littleton High School at the time, Lauren died from fentanyl poisoning after taking a counterfeit Percocet she got through the social media app Snapchat.

As Lujan continues to cope with the loss of her daughter, she has now joined a legal ght against Snapchat, which she believes is partly responsible for her daughter’s death.

She is among nine families nationwide participating in a wrongful death lawsuit led by the Social Media Victims Law Center against Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat.

“I know she would want me to do this. She’d want me to get involved in this lawsuit and ght, and so I’m doing it,” Lujan said.

County approves first read of camping ban ordinance

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With little discussion and uni ed agreement, the Douglas County Commission approved the rst reading of an ordinance to limit public camping and prohibit temporary structures on public property.

With the initial approval, Garcia said the ordinance will now proceed to a second reading on June 20 where the commission is expected to take a nal vote. At that point, Garcia said it will become law 30 days later.

County Attorney Je Garcia said, “ e goal of the ordinance as it’s been presented is to prohibit camping on public property without written permission by the county unless no other shelter is available. In addition, it limits the erection of temporary structures on county property without written permission from the county.” ose in violation of the ordinance can face a $1,000 ne.

“ e goal of the ordinance is to provide for public health, safety, and wellbeing. Especially for those using our county property and to assist those seeking shelter to nd safe and appropriate shelter,” Garcia said.

Garcia is con dent the camping ban will hold up to possible legal challenges given court rulings in a case involving the City of Boulder.

Last year, the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, led a lawsuit against the City of Boulder, claiming the city’s camping ban, which had been in place since 1980, violates provisions of the Colorado Constitution.

County joins lawsuit against state over Prop. HH

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the same day Gov. Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 303, Douglas County Commissioners announced they will be joining a lawsuit to challenge the measure that looks to put Proposition HH on the November ballot, asking voters to approve a plan Democrats say will slow the increase in property taxes.

As property owners statewide are facing up to 50% tax increases, Democrats introduced Senate Bill 303 three days before the 2023 legislative session ended. With no public discussion and little debate, the bill passed the Democrat-controlled House and Senate and was signed by Polis.

Passing SB23-303 allows the state to place what is known as Proposition HH on the November ballot.

e measure asks voters to approve taking a portion of the TABOR surplus, or the state tax refunds citizens receive, and divert it for at least 10 years to homeowners and commer-

cial property owners to keep property taxes lower.

Before Polis could even put ink to paper to sign the bill, legal challenges were led. e lawsuit challenging the proposition was led by Advance Colorado and by Steven Ward, who also serves as a member of the Englewood City Council.

e county announced on May 24 that it would be joining the original lawsuit. e primary focus of the legal challenge is the subject of the ballot measure, which plainti s claim violates the state’s single subject and “clear title” statutes.

According to the Douglas County announcement, commissioners believe the bill should be declared void and unconstitutional, precluding its implementation and enforcement; or, as an alternative, that the ballot title should be corrected “to provide a clear, detailed, and politically neutral explanation of its contents.”

“Any way you slice it, SB23-303 and Proposition HH do not prevent residential property owners in Douglas

County from experiencing what will be the largest property tax increase in state history,” said Board of Commissioners Chair Abe Laydon. e commissioners believe the title of the bill is misleading and does not clearly express the subject of the ballot measure.

At question is what exactly residents are voting on in November. While Democrats say the 10-year pause on TABOR will provide property tax relief, opponents say it will decrease the mandated state tax refund residents receive from revenue surpluses.

Commissioner George Teal said selling this ballot item as “property tax relief” while sending TABOR refunds to fund state government and making long-term changes to the TABOR formula while failing to specify that the state surplus is being used to “unnecessarily”  back ll local taxing authorities is “misleading.”

Commissioner Lora omas said pushing Proposition HH in the “11th hour” of the legislative session without the contribution or

approval from the local governments it directly a ects does not x the property tax issues.

omas said it simply takes away TABOR refunds, which are the “last remaining bit of tax relief” citizens have.

“Speci cally, the bill and ballot titles both fail to include any numbers concerning the property tax assessment rates and do not clearly inform voters that the property tax assessment reduction is minimal,” commissioners said in the provided statement.

Douglas County commissioners agree that Colorado law and precedent require that voters be informed of signi cant changes to law and of relevant numbers when they are asked to vote on a ballot measure.

To keep citizens informed, the county is planning to hold a series of town hall meetings. With the dates to be determined, residents can learn more about upcoming events by visiting the website at douglas. co.us and search live town halls; or call the board at303-660-7401.

County Line Road widening project stays on track

Design phase continues

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a regional e ort to widen a high-tra c, high-volume roadway near Highlands Ranch, the Douglas County commissioners approved a $226,418 amended contract to complete the nal designs.

e $25 million project will widen the segment of County Line Road from University Boulevard to Broadway. is project will include a new tra c signal at the Clarkson Street / County Line Road intersection, a mill and overlay for the portion of the road within the City of Littleton

located between Phillips Avenue and Broadway, as well as adding sidewalks.

On May 23, Benjamin Pierce, the county’s capital improvements project supervisor, said the amended contract is needed to allow Felsburg Holt & Ullevig Inc. to complete the nal design stages and keep the project on track.

Currently, Pierce said, the county is on track to get construction bids by late 2023, pending the completion of right-of-way acquisitions, coordination of necessary utility relocations, and obtaining necessary clearances from the Colorado Department of Transportation.

In voting in favor of the amendment, Commissioners Lora omas and George Teal agreed that it

wouldn’t be possible without the regional partnerships that have made it possible to fund the entire project.

Teal said, “It’s the child that no one knew they wanted that suddenly everyone wants.”

In the fall of 2019, the Denver Regional Council of Government selected this project to receive $10 million in federal funds through the Transportation Improvement Program. Besides the federal funds, other entities have also kicked in contributions, including $7 million

from the City of Centennial and $1 million from the City of Littleton.

Commissioner Abe Laydon said it is a high-tra c roadway that serves more than Highlands Ranch as commuters from Douglas and Arapahoe counties use County Line Road regularly.

Douglas County has committed to spending $7 million on the project. Pierce said if all goes as planned, construction will start by early 2024 and the widening project will be completed in late 2025.

Parents, student protest

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County school board members approved changes to the district’s equity policy in a marathon nine-hour meeting on May 23.

e meeting started with a protest and board member Elizabeth Hanson resigning over concerns with the board’s direction.

e equity policy changes, mostly drafted by board president Mike Peterson and board member Christy Williams, passed by a 4-2 vote with Susan Meek and David Ray dissenting.

e updated policy includes an expanded de nition of diversity that includes identity, cognitive and instrumental diversities, as well as language outlining the purposes of the policy.

Expanding the de nition of diversity was the most contentious change to the equity policy with Meek and Ray arguing that it dilutes the original intent of the policy to address racism and bigotry in the district.

“Where do you stop,” Ray asked. “Let’s talk about social diversity, physical diversity, athletic diversity. I mean we could go on and on, but we’re losing sight of the reason for this policy. e reason for this policy is that we are in a system that continues to marginalize those who have been historically marginalized and that’s the problem.”

Meek noted that data from the 2021 Healthy Kids Colorado survey found 56% of Black students agreed they belong in schools compared to 71% of white students. District data on discipline practices indicate 41% of Black students in Douglas County schools were disciplined in 2021-22 compared to 16% of white students.

However, the other boards members didn’t agree that adding to the de nition diluted the intention.

“I struggle to nd a reason why not to add more diversity if we’re including all students,” Williams said.

Board member Kaylee Winegar said she originally wanted to repeal and replace the policy because she doesn’t feel it’s necessary, but agreed the proposed changes are a good compromise after hearing from community members that it’s important to them.

“I think the revisions in place keep the good and bring clarity and certainty to the concept that we, as a district, do not intend to elevate certain ideals and beliefs over others,” Winegar said.

Public commenters were split between those advocating to keep the original policy and those who wanted to repeal the policy but would settle for the proposed changes.

Peterson reiterated that the changes are mostly adding to the policy, not removing original language. He said that diversity, equity, inclusion policies may have good intent, but can be misimplemented, so his revisions are intended to prevent that.

“I think we’ve got (equity) pretty right in Douglas County, but we want to codify what ‘right’ means for Douglas County,” Peterson said.

e board was able to compromise on keeping language about the district implementing an “unbiased, culturally relevant, responsive, and sustaining learning environment,” and not including elements of diversity such as learning preference or personality.

Board members agreed on outlining purposes of the policy, such as inclusive access to programs, di erentiation of resources to help students acheive their potential and creating

SONYA’S SAMPLER

‘It’s time for me to speak up’

Sitting in her home in Centennial, surrounded by photos of her daughter, Lujan described Lauren’s many talents, from her beautiful singing voice to her athletic skills.

“People always say, you know, someone lit up a room. She really did,” Lujan said. “I feel blessed that she was in my life, even for a short time. She taught me a lot.”

Lauren lived with the mentality that she could accomplish whatever she put her mind to, her mom said.

“One of the greatest things about Lauren is she just — she had such a big heart,” Lujan said. “She was amazing because she found the beauty in everything.”

On March 29, 2020, Lauren was on spring break and staying at her father’s house, according to the lawsuit. She left the house for a few hours, which is when her parents thought she met up with someone, whom she communicated with via Snapchat, to get the painkiller Percocet.

The next morning, on March 30, Lujan was working in her office, which is near Lauren’s father’s house. She remembered getting a phone call from Lauren’s father, who said he did not think Lauren was breathing and that she was dead.

Lujan went to the house, where she saw paramedics and an ambulance.

“They wouldn’t let me in. So, I’m trying to, like, storm into the house to get to her and they wouldn’t let me in, which was horrible. And then I followed the ambulance to the hospital,” she said.

“Supposedly, she was alive when she went to the hospital,” Lujan recalled. “They kept coming in and telling me, ‘OK, well, we got a heartbeat.’ And it was like, ‘It’s really faint.’ And yeah — nightmare.”

According to the lawsuit, the Percocet that Lauren took was a pill laced with fentanyl. Lauren died from fentanyl poisoning on March 30.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse explains on its website that when people overdose on fentanyl, their breathing can slow or stop, which decreases the amount of oxygen reaching the brain and can lead to death.

Song for Charlie is a national nonprofit that raises awareness about fake pills made of fentanyl. It argues that when someone dies after taking a fake pill made of fentanyl, these deaths should be classified as “poisoning” rather than “overdose” because the person did not know what they were ingesting.

It took Lujan a long time to find out what had happened, she said.

“I don’t know if it was six months later, or nine months, or a year

later, really, when I finally read the autopsy report and realized it was fentanyl, and that she took one Percocet and it was laced,” Lujan said.

“I didn’t really think much more about it because the grief and the sorrow is overwhelming. And for me, not thinking about it, not dealing with it, was my defense mechanism,” she said. “I was just trying to deal with, you know, coping with the loss of my daughter.”

A year ago, Lujan began wondering what happened with the police investigation. She contacted the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and spoke with someone who essentially said, “‘Once we realized it was (Snapchat), there was nothing more we could do,’” she recalled. At that moment, she felt emotionally overwhelmed and was unable to think straight, she said.

“And so, I just let it go,” she said.

But then a friend told her it was time “to get angry about this,” Lujan recalled

One day, Lujan’s friend mentioned she heard on the news about the Social Media Victims Law Center and a lawsuit against Snapchat. Lujan did some research and reached out to the center

“I feel like it’s just time for me to not sit back anymore,” Lujan said. “It’s time for me to speak up.”

“I kind of look at it like she was murdered. And I’m upset because Snapchat doesn’t seem to do anything,” she said. “I almost feel like these drug dealers are protected behind Snapchat.”

The fight against Snapchat

The wrongful death lawsuit alleges that Snapchat created an environment that allows drug dealers to “operate in a manner that directly contributed to the deaths of nine minors and young adults,” according to a Social Media Victims Law Center news release.

The nine minors and young adults are Lauren Lujan, Moses “Malik” Majekodunmi, Juan Jiménez Trujillo, Cole Brown, Michael Leonardi, Dylan Moore, Kevin Andrew Hutchings, Jaylen Penix and Allie Higdon.

Each of these individuals died after taking fentanyl-laced pills and/or edibles purchased from drug dealers connected to them by Snapchat, according to the news release.

“I want to be really clear — we don’t condone the sale of prescription drugs outside of a doctor’s prescription. We also understand that young people make bad decisions. They don’t deserve to die for it,” said Matthew Bergman, founding attorney of the Social Media Victims Law Center.

A wrongful death lawsuit alleges that a person lost their life as the result of the misconduct of another, Bergman said.

“In this case, the negligent and

unreasonably dangerous design of the Snapchat platform,” he said.

He noted that it does not mean there are no other factors at play, and while he acknowledges people should not use prescription drugs without a prescription, “that doesn’t mean that they needed to die for it.”

“And that doesn’t mean that it’s appropriate to absolve Snapchat of its responsibility for contributing to the situation that led to the child’s death,” he said.

The lawsuit alleges that Snapchat’s platform “purposefully obstructs parental supervision” and “enables (drug) dealers to locate and access nearby minors and young adults,” per the news release.

Bergman said Snapchat provides people the opportunity to commit a crime knowing that the evidence is destroyed after the crime is committed, since Snapchat automatically deletes messages.

“The disappearing message feature allows drug dealers to actually put a menu or a smorgasbord of drugs online, knowing that the evidence of their crime will … disappear,” Bergman said. “The only benefit of the disappearing messages is to perpetrate crimes.”

Bergman noted Snapchat also has a geolocating feature, also called a “Snap map,” that allows users to share their location with one another. This feature allows for drugs to be delivered “like DoorDash or Uber Eats,” he said.

A third feature that Bergman said “unnecessarily facilitates young people hiding, forever, evidence of their solicitation of drug dealers” is Snapchat’s “my eyes only” feature, which allows for users to hide content behind a passcode on the app.

“They have made (an) intentional decision to not change the architecture of their platform, presumably because one of the appeals of the platform is to encourage kids to evade parental responsibility,” he said about Snapchat. “They’ve decided to not implement readily available design modifications because it reduces engagement, and their profits are tied to engagement.”

The lawsuit’s prayer for relief, meaning the damages and other remedies it is seeking, includes requests for punitive damages, loss of future income and earning capacity of each of the nine people, and monetary and emotional damages suffered by plaintiffs.

“This is not a case that is about the money. These families have suffered the worst loss that anybody can imagine,” Bergman said.

“If through these efforts, we can prevent one family from going through this loss … then it’s worth it.”

The relationship between fentanyl and social media

At least every other day, the Social Media Victims Law Center hears from another parent who lost a child to fentanyl, Bergman said.

“I can’t tell you how horrible it is to get all of these calls,” he said.

“We have 70 cases filed involving children who have died of fentanyl.”

Bergman urges parents to have open discussions with their children about the risk of fentanyllaced drugs.

“It’s a hard discussion to have because no kid is ever gonna want to admit to their parent that they might be tempted to use Oxy or Percocet or something like that,” he said. “But I think you need to have the kind of discussion and

relationship with your kids so that they understand that they can die from this … and that the prospect of getting drugs online from a stranger is not worth the risk.”

“As opposed to just saying, ‘Don’t ever do this,’ saying, ‘If you — I hope you never do it, but if you do, don’t do it this way,’” he added.

According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), fentanyl is involved in more deaths of U.S. citizens under the age of 50 than any other cause of death.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment found that the state’s total number of drug overdose deaths due to synthetic opioids mentioning fentanyl increased from 540 deaths in 2020 to 912 deaths in 2021, repre-

senting an increase of nearly 69%.

As reported by Bloomberg in January, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is examining Snapchat’s role in fentanyl poisoning deaths.

Bergman said the Social Media Victims Law Center only has one case where Snapchat was not the conduit through which the fentanyl-contaminated drugs were obtained.

“The fentanyl phenomenon appears to be a Snapchat-only problem, arising from the unique design of the Snapchat platform,” he said.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser released a report in March highlighting how social media platforms are used for illicit drug activity.

In the report, it notes that online access to illicit drugs is a “wholeof-Internet” challenge, as drug sellers are often active on multiple social media platforms.

The report describes the challenges that social media platforms like Snapchat may present to law enforcement investigations, given the “disappearing content.”

“When platforms intentionally tout features like near-immediate deletion of communication exchanges and short retention periods of data held on the platforms’ servers, it puts law enforcement at an extreme disadvantage when investigating those using the platforms for illegal activities like selling drugs,” said Cmdr. Nick Goldberger of the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office in a news release.

The report also mentions the Social Media Victims Law Center’s civil lawsuits against Snap Inc.

“This is, by any fair estimation, cutting-edge litigation. And it is unclear how this is all going to come out because we’re the first firm to do it,” Bergman said. “We have no illusions that this is an easy fight. And we have every expectation that Snapchat is going to fight every step of the way.”

Snapchat’s response

In an emailed statement to Colorado Community Media, a Snap Inc. spokesperson wrote, “While we can’t comment specifically on active litigation, we can share all the progress we have made in this area.

“We use cutting-edge technology to help us proactively find and shut down drug dealers’ accounts. We block search results for drug-related terms, redirecting Snapchatters to resources from experts about the dangers of fentanyl.

“We continually expand our support for law enforcement investigations helping them bring dealers to justice, and we work closely with experts to share patterns of dealers’ activities across platforms to more quickly identify and stop illegal behavior.

“We will continue to do every-

thing we can to tackle this epidemic, including by working with other tech companies, public health agencies, law enforcement, families and nonpro ts.”

According to the statement from Snap Inc., Snapchat has a new in-app parental tool, called Family Center, so parents can see all the friends their teens are communicating with on Snapchat and report any accounts for investigation.

ere has also been a decline in community-reported content related to drug sales, per the statement. Snap Inc. said in September 2021, more than 23% of drug-related reports from Snapchat users contained content speci cally related to sales. As of December 2022, it was 3.3%.

In the statement, Snap Inc. said it preserves and discloses data in response to valid legal requests. e company published a statement in January on how it works with law enforcement authorities.

On May 9, which was National Fentanyl Awareness Day, the company said on its website that it has been working with senators on legislation, speci cally the Cooper Davis Act, that would create a legal framework for tech companies to share information about drugs with law enforcement.

Hoping for change

Bergman said the Social Media Victims Law Center’s purpose is to “address the carnage that social media has in icted on young people, not only in the United States but around the world.”

He pointed to the increased rates of mental health issues and suicide.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rates of depression and anxiety among young people have increased over time.

Suicide rates increased roughly 36% between 2000 and 2021, and suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-14 and 2034 in 2021, per the CDC.

e National Alliance on Mental Illness said on its website that research has shown people who spend more time on social media and less time interacting with others have an increased risk of feeling anxious and depressed. It notes, however, that it is di cult to know if spending time online actually causes anxiety and depression.

One of the allegations in the lawsuit is that Snapchat is designed to be addictive to minors.

“Social media is not going to go away. It’s going to be part of our lives for generations, but it doesn’t have to be as dangerous as it is,” Bergman said. “What I hope is that the companies will change how they design their platforms, and that they’re safer.”

Patti Lujan hopes that with this lawsuit, Snapchat will change its ways, if not go away completely. She said the platform allows criminals to hide, and she wants it to change so that messages and posts do not disappear.

“I’m hoping that they change their platform completely so these things are not hidden, and that if something happens, at least we can nd the person responsible,” she said.

She wants parents to talk with their kids about what can happen on Snapchat.

“I really want to make parents aware of what’s happening, because … I was just so naive to all of it,” she said. “It just never even entered my mind that this could be going on.”

Lujan hopes to educate people about the fentanyl crisis and the importance of not taking substances that came from unknown places.

“I’m just hoping some other parents … see this and maybe it can save someone else’s life,” she said. “It’s what Lauren would want me to do.”

ose opposed to camping bans say they are cruel and unusual punishment because the homeless being cited do not always have access to indoor shelters.

Garcia said the ordinance, which was developed through the Douglas County Homeless Initiative, addresses many of the issues raised in the Boulder lawsuit, including the constitutional right to access public property and whether there is an unalienable right to rest in public places.

“We have crafted the ordinance to avoid those areas that have been found and treated negatively by the (Boulder lawsuit),” Garcia said. “We are already doing

exactly what the court has asked us to do and we are following the court’s direction to provide for our community’s safety.”

Commissioner Abe Laydon, who spoke in favor of the bill, said, the ordinance will continue to build on the hard work of the Douglas County Homeless initiative.

“When you look at cities like Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco where rampant camping is allowed to persist at the expense of taxpayers and the business community – there is sort of a blind eye that’s turned to those sorts of encampments,” he said. “I’m really proud of the elected o cials in Douglas County, my colleagues and mayors and council members in municipalities that have uniformly supported this campaign.”

More discussion will be held on June 20.

No real control

This week, our newspaper featured a story reporter Tayler Shaw worked on over several months. is story tells the heartbreaking story of a teenager who died after allegedly buying drugs laced with fentanyl through Snapchat.

Let’s get past the quick-reaction stu right away. No, the 18-year-old should not have been online looking for opioids. No one is saying she should have. What this story delves into is the fact that she DID NOT deserve to die from it.

Now, a pilot national case is moving forward — a program has taken the heartbreaking stories of nine families and led a lawsuit against Snapchat.

Snapchat is the perfect example of how sneaky social platforms can be. When posts expire and are deleted not long after you post — how can anyone not think this is not an invitation for the bad guys?

As a parent of a teenage girl and growing boys — I am constantly living in a reality that you never really gain control.

While they protest — my children are told they are not allowed on either Snapchat or TikTok. I am not excited about Facebook or Instagram, but I do feel a little more secure in my abilities to monitor my daughter’s behavior and teach my 9-year-old son who is now dabbling in the two approved platforms in our house. ere are programs for parents out there such as Bark. is service helps a parent track a child’s behavior on their phones and tablets. Using it, I have been noti ed when my daughter is doing or saying questionable things.

When I interviewed the director of Bark earlier this year, I was told besides helping parents head o possible sexual predators, the services have also proven helpful in tipping o parents when their child is having suicidal thoughts.

But like most, Bark is not perfect. No service to police what your children are doing online is.

My daughter thinks I do not know but she does have or has had a Snapchat account. Our daughter has an editor/journalist for a mom and a cybersecurity expert for a dad. She had a bit of a disadvantage to other kids.

Humor aside — even with our skills, I know she skirts the rules. e temptation is too strong. When her friends are on TikTok and Snapchat – I can’t hold it against her that she wants to be.

But then I read the stories that are out there, including this week’s in-depth look from Tayler Shaw. Her story shows how easy it is to make shady deals on social media platforms. Her story shows just how little control our local authorities have.

After all, when a social platform has headquarters in New York or California — How can the Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce do anything? I am a little concerned with how little they have attempted to do in this case, but I do understand the obstacles.

Our own Attorney General Phil Weiser has said things are getting out of control with crime taking place through legal social platforms.

e problem, however, is until money become a focal point and these companies are having to pay a lot in legal fees and settlements — they really have no reason to do better for our kids, adults, and society.

A return to grace

Listening to the conversation around a business dinner table, I found myself trying to stay away from the conversation as it began to center around what was wrong with society and basically the world in general. If you are a regular reader of this column, you know that I try and remove myself as quickly as possible from anything I perceive as negativity, and this conversation was devolving quickly in that direction.

Remaining quiet and checking my phone to try and avoid being drawn into the discussion didn’t quite work out the way I had hoped. Before I knew it, the group turned their attention to me and asked me what I thought. e good news is that I was already prepared with my response, it’s my same response whenever I nd the people around me focusing on what is wrong with the world instead of what is right.

After placing my phone on the table, I looked around the table and one by one, I made eye contact with everyone before saying, “A return to grace.” I will share that whenever I give that response the rst reaction is usually confusion, followed by cynicism, and then possibly a little mocking, questioning my sincerity. Standing my ground, I made it a point to once again making eye contact with everyone before restating my position, “Yes, you all heard me correctly, a return to grace.”

Remaining silent once again, I waited for someone to ask me what it means to return to grace. And it never fails, someone will always ask me to elaborate on that statement. Returning to grace means that we give everyone the same grace that we would expect when we screw up. I haven’t met the person, the company, the politician, or anyone else who hasn’t screwed up royally. And I include myself among the elite when it comes to making mistakes, I am pretty sure I am close to the top, if not at the top, when it comes to screwing up.

Are society and the world at large teetering on the precipice of total chaos and anarchy? OK, maybe that is a little dramatic, but then again maybe not. Are there people whose actions and words are driving us crazy? Absolutely. Do we sit stunned as we read or watch the news, wondering, “What idiot thought that was a good idea?” Or maybe we just let the anger and resentment fester inside of us until it reaches a boiling point or creates an ulcer. And then we share our outrage with anyone who will listen. And even if there is no one to listen, we go on a rant on social media, posting our anger and frustration, continuing to carrying the weight of what’s wrong with the world on our shoulders. A return to grace means that instead of playing the blame game, we play the love and forgiveness game. I know, I know, I have heard it before that this is not a realistic approach in dealing with the nonsense and idiotic decisions being made and the ridiculous

Local lawmakers dish on 2023 legislative session

With more than 600 bills introduced in the Colorado statehouse this year, Douglas County’s representatives stayed busy throughout the 2023 legislative session.

All four of the county’s representatives, Rep. Brandi Bradley, R-Douglas County, Rep. Lisa Frizell, R-Castle Rock, Rep. Anthony Hartsook (RParker) and Rep. Bob Marshall, D-Highlands Ranch, were rst-year legislators who all together passed 24 bills.

Here’s a look at what each legislator did:

Rep. Bob Marshall

As the only Democrat from Douglas County, Marshall introduced legislation for veterans’ issues, teacher pay, increasing county commissioner numbers, and restricting law enforcement from political activities in uniform.

Marshall said he’s proud to have been able to shepherd a bill that will expand property tax exemption for veterans with disabilities.

“ at was kind of a lay-up once I brought it up,” Marshall said. “To me, it was about equity and respect.”

He also highlighted that he fought for a budget supplement that would fund veterans’ groups that honor fallen soldiers with things like ags for their families.

“We rolled the (joint budget committee), which I didn’t realize was such a big thing,” Marshall said.

Of his introduced legislation, Marshall said he is disappointed that his bills to provide a teacher stipend for classroom supplies, to increase county commissioner boards in large counties from three to ve seats, and to restrict uniformed law enforcement from participating in certain political activities were not successful this session.

“I didn’t realize how hard a lot of this stu is,” he said. “With hindsight and now knowing how the whole process works, I’m actually pretty impressed with what I did.”

Marshall said he plans to bring the law enforcement and county commissioner bills, or something similar, back to the statehouse next session. He added that he’s considering bringing legislation to align metro district election schedules with state elections.

Rep. Brandi Bradley

Legislation sponsored by Bradley ranged from healthcare bills, such as prohibiting minors from COVID vaccines without parental consent and requiring higher education facilities to keep epi-pens on hand, to land use and education.

Bradley said her biggest accomplishments regarding legislation this year were passing bills to allow Chateld State Park to collect use fees to maintain water quality, put epi-pens in higher education facilities, and prohibition on selling over-the-coun-

ter diet pills to people under 18. She also highlighted a bill that will address child support payments.

“We passed some great bipartisan legislation,” Bradley said.

As a member of the minority party in the statehouse, Bradley said one of her biggest frustrations this session is the budgeting priorities.

“ e most disappointing thing is the way we spend money and we don’t put toward the people who need it the most, like our teachers and our kids,” she said.

Of her legislation that was not successful this year, Bradley said she had really hoped to pass her bills preventing minors from getting the COVID vaccine without parental consent, and to restrict trans athletes from competing as their identi ed gender. However, she said she doesn’t plan to bring the bills back next year.

One bill that Bradley does plan to retry focuses on preventing certain foreign governments, such as China and Russia, from owning farmland or water rights. She said other legislation she’s considering for the next session looks at school safety and mental health.

“How can we as a state look at funding (school resource o cers) in every school and getting better mental health resources in our schools,” Bradley said.

Rep. Lisa Frizell

With a background as Douglas County’s former assessor, Frizell sponsored several bills aimed at property tax reduction and a ordable housing, as well as some legislation on healthcare and education.

Two of Frizell’s successful bills will allow municipalities and counties to reduce their property tax rates to provide homeowners with some relief and creates property tax exemptions for nonpro t organizations purchasing land for a ordable housing.

“I’m very proud of (the tax exemption) because we did a lot of stakeholding on that,” Frizell said, adding that she worked with Habitat for Humanity and community land trusts.

“I would love to see us really launch o of this and have more conversation in the House and the Senate.”

However, Frizell also introduced legislation that would have capped this year’s property tax increase, but the bill didn’t pass because of different plans from Gov. Jared Polis to address skyrocketing property taxes this year.

“I’m disappointed the majority party did not take my property tax bill seriously,” she said. “ is is something that we should have come together on. is is a bipartisan issue.”

Next year, Frizell hopes to build on her a ordable housing success and introduce legislation to incentivize special districts, like school and re districts, to o er land for a ordable housing projects.

She said she doesn’t currently plan to bring back any of her failed bills from this session.

Rep. Anthony Hartsook

Hartsook introduced legislation targeting healthcare, small businesses, and veterans in his rst session.

When he re ects on his e orts, Hartsook said he’s proud of passing bills that will require health insurance to cover prosthetic devices for recreational use and to lower healthcare fees for small businesses.

“In the military, I was used to seeing veterans who lost limbs in combat have both a work prosthetic and an activity one and the fact that that wasn’t available to kids was dumbfounding to me,” he said. “So I was very proud to sponsor that legislation and help kids get out there and live

life and have fun.”

One bill he sponsored this year that Hartsook plans to bring back would limit the governor’s executive authority powers in an emergency, such as during the covid pandemic.

“If the governor thinks (a situation) is so bad then he should call the legislature back into session and tell us to nd a solution and then we could do our jobs representing the people,” he said.

Another bill Hartsook would like to re-introduce would require health insurance to cover biomarker testing to help patients determine treatment.

Hartsook said he’s considering other legislation around healthcare fees in the future but wants to allow for market adjustment to this year’s changes rst.

OBITUARIES

Joseph Don Crenshaw of Castle Rock, Colorado passed away on Friday, May 19th, 2023. He was widely known as a mild-mannered, congenial, and an all around good guy. Born in Atlanta, Georgia at Crawford Long hospital, he graduated from Sylvan High School in 1956. He learned his love of baseball from his dad, Joe and his uncle Ed, at age 7 and enjoyed playing on sandlot teams as a boy. For one year he played in Panama City, Florida in the Sally league as a pitcher throwing a respectable slider that he called a break sharp. He attended Georgia Tech night school, 1956 to 1958 studying Mechanical Engineering.

e US army drafted him in 1959, served until 1961, enjoying engineering school at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, nishing out his tour of duty playing baseball for the ird Army Fort Mac Colonel Quarters Team. His claim to fame and biggest thrill was pitching against Hank Aaron and Joe Torre with the Milwaukee Braves in a practice game during the preseason.

He worked at the Ford Assembly Plant in Atlanta GA for many years until 1972 as a Equipment Design Engineer on a drawing board, long before computers were used.

In Atlanta, Kenny, 1961, Dorothy (Dottie) 1963 and Sharon, 1965 were born. While vacationing in Colorado, visiting his sister Patsy, he became smitten by the state of Colorado and soon moved to Arvada, Colorado in 1975 and worked for the Coors Brewery. One year later he moved to Castle Rock with a population of 4,500 and worked at the Kolbe Striping, retiring after 25

years as Quality Control Superintendent in 2006. Joe was a charter member of the Castle Rock Fraternal Order of Eagles at its inception in 1980 and later served as President.

He married the love of his life Judy Kolbe Dillman in 1980, Castle Rock Colorado. In retirement, Joe ushered for the Colorado Rockies in section 106/107, loving every minute for 14 years, especially the interaction with the fans. Since he liked to go in so early to the games to watch the players workout, the Rockies asked him to shag the practice balls hit into the stands during batting practice. A few of the balls he picked up ended up in his lunch box each game, sharing them with the kids who were thrilled to have mementos of that game.

Joe and Judy enjoyed traveling in the U.S., England, Turkey, Germany, Mexico, Alaska, and Greece.

He is survived by his four children, Kenny, Dottie, Betsy and Danny, 12 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren and preceded in death by his parents Josiah R. Crenshaw and Dorothy Crenshaw, sisters Patsy Applegate, Judy Broughman, brother-in-law Frank Applegate, son in law Khalid Al-Sadun, and his greatest sadness, his youngest daughter Sharon Hulstrom and 10-year-old greatgrandson Austin Lobato in 2022.

Celebration of life will be held at the First United Methodist Church in Castle Rock, Colorado June 10th, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. If attending, wear your favorite baseball team paraphernalia. Memorial contributions can be made to the wounded warrior project in memory of Joseph Crenshaw.

Private dog park site gaining pup-ularity

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Since Elle Ritt started renting her Wheat Ridge yard to fellow dog owners in November, she’s hosted birthday parties for pups, pooch photoshoots and doggie play groups almost every weekend.

Ritt is one of dozens of renters in the Denver metro area on a website called Sni Spot, which links people interested in sharing their yard with local dog owners who want a private fenced area to let their pups o -leash. rough Sni Spot, renters set an hourly rate per dog and time slot availability for users to book.

With two older dogs who need less exercise, Ritt said she wanted to let other dogs take advantage of her large yard and, so far, there has been no shortage of demand.

“It’s just mindblowing how frequently it’s used,” she said.

Ritt said a majority of her visitors don’t have their own yards and prefer to avoid public dog parks because of reactive or sensitive pups. e site allows users to tailor their search to t needs like a taller fence height or not having other dogs or animals visible.

Dr. Rebecca Ruch-Gallie, a 23-year veterinarian at Colorado State University’s Community Practice clinic, said the uncontrolled nature of dog parks leads to risks like ghts and disease transmission, which is why she typically recommends other ways to exercise dogs, such as daycare or private yard time.

In addition to walks and playtime, RuchGallie said some dogs need to run and all dogs bene t from exploring new routes and places.

Ruch-Gallie said she will sometimes take her pups on what she calls a “sni -ari.”

“ ey take in the world much di erently than we do, so give them those di erent scents to pick up and opportunities to see and smell di erent things,” she said. “Sometimes they just want to go, go, go and get their energy out and other times they just want to meander and take the sni s in.”

Mike Rieber, who has been renting his fenced pasture in Parker since October, said one of the best perks of sharing his yard is seeing how excited pups get to check out new scents and release their energy.

“ ey call it a Sni Spot and I never really understood how important that was to a dog, but that’s the rst thing they all do when they get here is smell everything,” Rieber said. “Especially with the repeat dogs, as soon as their paws hit the ground, boy, they’re o .”

Ritt’s experience has been similar, she said, adding that Sni Spot has been mutually bene cial, not just for the dogs, but also the humans. She’s received multiple thank you notes from visitors and attests that catching glimpses of visitors always makes her smile.

“It’s so cute to peek in the backyard and see grown men laying on their stomachs taking pictures of their puppies,” Ritt said.

Another Sni Spot user, Lyndsey Leach, who

rents her Lakewood backyard, agreed. Leach lost her own pooch three years ago but remains an avid dog-lover.

“It’s so nice when they’re comfortable and running around,” she said. “I’m always happy when they’re happy.” None of the three renters report issues with destroyed yards, rude users, neighbor complaints or unruly animals.

In addition to the positive mental health benefits, Leach said renting her yard is a convenient passive income and gives her the flexibility to be away from home if needed. Leach estimates that since she started in January, she’s had about 50 visitors and made around $400.

“I don’t really have any expenses associated with it, other than eaten tennis balls,” she joked.

Rieber said he didn’t originally think he would make much money from the app but has been happy with the extra cash. He noted the demand is only picking up in the warmer months, though he got a fair share of visitors during the winter as well.

“We’re not trying to maximize our revenue, we’re doing this more as a service for young people that have dogs and need a place that’s private,” he said.

For Ritt, her most recent month was her most successful, cashing in over $1,000, and before that, she averaged a few hundred dollars monthly.

“One of our dogs has had a ton of health issues, so it’s like SniffSpot funds her care,” Ritt said. “It truly has been a notable supplemental income.”

Honoring the lives of artists and creators

BY CHANCY J. GATLIN-ANDERSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Marcos Garibay fondly remembers his grandmother’s ofrenda. It was a traditional ofrenda permanently in the home — his grandmother kept it on her bedroom dresser. e ofrenda was covered with pictures of Catholic gures, dozens of candles and countless colorful plastic owers.

An ofrenda is an ornate altar often found in Catholic, Mexican and Indigenous Mesoamerican cultures. It honors loved ones who have died.

Even as a child, Garibay knew he would one day make his own ofrenda. And now an adult, Garibay has put his own, modern twist on the traditional ofrenda — he has an entire wall in his Denver home dedicated to the memorial. Honoring his mother who he lost at a young age, Garibay’s ofrenda has photos of passed loved ones surrounded by vibrant, colorful frames. Silk and plastic owers also dot the wall and bright lights are strung throughout. He also has framed newspaper clippings that have

for the Denver-based after school lm production company, Tomorrow Maker Studios.

“Celebrating Indigenous art is very important to me and my work because it’s a way to reclaim and honor something that was lost and taken from me,” Garibay said. “I grew up in a very culturally rich environment, but for the most part, most of the aspects of that culture are things that are a result of Spanish colonization.”

Spanish isn’t the language his ancestors spoke, and Catholicism isn’t the religion they practiced, Garibay said.

“ e architecture people typically associate with Mexico is that of European design, likely constructed out of my ancestors’ demolished buildings,” Garibay said. “Celebrating Indigenous art is one of the few ways that I have left to reclaim this missing piece of my culture.”

is June, the McNichols Civic Center Building will be host to an elaborate ofrenda created by Garibay and his creative partner, Adrianna Baez.

“We are using EVA foam, cardboard, real moss, plastic owers, several

di erent lights, paint, a few di erent textiles and PVC piping to construct our ofrenda,” said Baez. “ e design work took about a week, and we are hoping to construct it in about two weeks. We have already begun constructing some of the components so that assembly will be easier, and we will have a larger crew to help with construction at the McNichols Civic Center Building.”

e ofrenda will be on display June 9-15 and honor the lives of artists and creators who were lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. Garibay and Baez’s ofrenda is in uenced by Mayan architecture and is topped with a skull inspired by Cizin, the Mayan god of death and earthquakes. In conjunction with Garibay and Baez’s ofrenda, the public is invited to bring photos of people they have recently lost and place them on a community altar.

e ofrenda is a part of Denver’s Indigenous comic and art festival called áyA Con, which takes place June 9-11. It is a celebration of indigeneity, hosted by and highlighting North American Indigenous creators. is all-inclusive family-friendly festival features comic creators, bead artists, musicians, digital illustrators, drag ashion performance, designers, Indigenous dancers and more. áyA Con is a collaborative festival with events taking place at several locations in Denver. e ofrenda, art and

select performances will take place at the McNichols Civic Center Building. Panels, art making and community booths with interactive activities will take place at the Denver Art Museum. e Levitt Pavilion will also be hosting Rez Metal night, a free concert with a lineup of ve Indigenous heavy metal bands.

“Come to áyA Con to build connections, celebrate the di erences in all cultures and bond over fandoms,” said Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand, one of the organizers for the áyA Con event. “ ere is something for everyone. Our show is very eclectic. We have a wide range of artistic practices, music and stories, all centered around the things we love.”

Garibay and Baez’s áyA Con Ofrenda is also something not-to-miss, Garibay said, adding it’s important to honor the lives of artists and creators because of their artistic struggle.

“ is is something that all true artists can relate to. It’s what connects us. ey will never have a chance to nish the projects they were in the process of bringing to life,” said Garibay. “My hope is that when people see the altar, they will discover some of these amazing artists and look into their body of work. is will allow the artists and their work to continue inspiring the living and lling their lives with beauty.”

A rst round of delegate elections in April marked a milestone for the association elections. for the rst time, the elections were held through an online voting format called Election Buddy. e vendor sent voting members a postcard with a secure code that can be accessed online or through a QR code.

safe learning environments for all.

Denouncements of bullying, harassment, the promotion of speci c characteristics as superior or inferior and lowering standards or expectations for students were also added without issue.

ough the board worked to nd common ground on the revisions, Ray and Meek also took issue with the process, saying they felt there was a lack of transparency and not enough input from equity experts.

Meek noted the District Accountability Committee approved a resolution asking the board to delay the changes and seek more feedback. Ray tried to postpone the changes by one year, but his motion failed 4-2.

Superintendent Erin Kane presented her implementation plan for the equity policy in April, which outlines how equity will apply to academics, student wellness, resource allocation, human resources and parent engagement.

Protest before meeting

Leading up to the board meeting, around 50 students, parents and community members gathered outside the

district building to protest the district’s response to reported racism happening at Castle Rock Middle School, where eighth grader Jeramiah Ganzy has been a victim of racial slurs in school and through social media.

Douglas County mom Melissa Sutherland organized the protest with her son Glenn, a sophomore at Douglas County High School, after hearing Jeramiah’s story.

Outside the district building, Sutherland called on the district and school board to condemn and act on discrimination happening in schools.

“If the school district doesn’t start stepping up, then we’ll be out here every time,” Sutherland said.

Jeramiah and his family rallied alongside Sutherland, saying they appreciated seeing the support and hopes the district will begin taking steps to educate students about diversity and enforce consequences for discrimination.

During the board meeting, Kane made a statement addressing the protest, apologizing for the Ganzy family having to experience racial slurs. She said multiple students were suspended in response to the reports.

“Racism in any form is unacceptable at DCSD and a direct policy violation,” Kane said.

actions of those who we do not agree with. And everyone is entitled to their own opinions. My opinion and position are that I would rather live under the spirit of love and forgiveness as opposed to harboring anger, resentment, and frustration relative to the things that I have absolutely no control over. And if you still disagree with me, or think I am a bit too naïve, then maybe this can be your rst attempt at o ering me some grace.

Will society ever be perfect? No. Will

people ever be without fault? No. Will the world ever get back to what the majority of us would call normal? Maybe, maybe not. But wouldn’t it be a better place if we all gured how to o er love and forgiveness instead of spite and hostility? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can truly make that leap towards a return to grace, it really will be a better than good life.
