Growth is chronic hot issue in county Development, water spur disagreement among many residents

BY NICKY QUINBY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The issue of growth and development is a hot topic in Elbert County, and at the community meeting regarding the Serenity Pointe subdivision on Sept. 20, residents weren’t shy about asking questions and sharing opinions.

Serenity Pointe is slated to be built off Singing Hills Road and will include 542 to 580 homes on 370 acres. About 40 people attended the meeting, many of whom were neighboring landowners.

Lisanne Hewell, of Smart Growth for Elizabeth, said it was the fifth development meeting she’s been to. Hewell says she is not anti-growth but feels developments like Serenity Pointe are “ruining our way of life.” She emphasized that Elbert County is rural. “We don’t want city lights, city noise, city pollution.”

Hewell feels like the commissioners aren’t listening and developers aren’t invested in the community. “You don’t live out here, you build and then you leave,” she said.

Another member of Smart Growth for Elizabeth, Cindy Angers, joined because she felt the current developments have been unwise. She recently supported efforts to stop the Elizabeth West development from proceeding as part of the Town of

Douglas County leaders remember Roger Partridge

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A longtime county official known for his kindness has died, leaving other Douglas County leaders to recall the mark he made.

Former Commissioner Roger Partridge died in late October in his mid-60s.

Voters elected Partridge in 2012 and reelected him in 2016 to serve four more years in office, a tenure that took him through historic challenges such as the start of the coronavirus pandemic and the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting.

In his day-to-day work as a commissioner, Partridge focused primarily on transportation, open space, wildfire prevention and water conservation.

In a statement, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office said it was “deeply saddened” by the news that Partridge passed away.

“Commissioner Partridge was a kind and honorable man. He set the example for what an elected official

should be,” Sheriff Darren Weekly said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “He was a good friend and a tremendous supporter of the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, as well as the Office of Emergency Management. His loss is personally devastating, and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family.”

Commissioner Abe Laydon, one of the county’s three current elected leaders, called Partridge “a true gentleman cowboy who served his county with great faith, commitment and dedication.”

As chair of the Douglas commissioners, Partridge “kept meetings light and positive, even when agitators abounded. During the height of his cancer battle, he took negativity from persistent detractors in stride and kept his focus on our governance role,” Laydon said. “Roger never succumbed to pettiness even when it would have been easy to, and always took the high road.”

Prior to settling in Colorado, he

worked as an athletic trainer for the New York Jets and at three universities, according to the county. He started his physical therapy practice in Castle Rock in 1987 while living in Littleton and moved to Douglas County in 1994 to be closer to his practice.

Voters approve 3 of 4 ballot measures in Parker

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Unofficial results of the four Home Rule Charter ballot questions for the Town of Parker show three of the four ballot measures were approved.

Letters to Santa

Ho, ho, ho! ‘Tis the season to let Santa know if you have been naughty or nice.

Send in your lettter to be published through the holidays!

Mail by December 15th!

750 W. Hampden Ave., Suite 225 Englewood, CO 80110

The lone question where voters said no had to do with language in the town’s charter regarding the bequests, gifts and donations question.

Results were last updated at 12:07 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8.

TheCharter, also known as the Home Rule Charter, is similar to a constitution as it is the legal framework of how the town’s government operates. Any changes to the charter can only be made through a vote of the residents.

Previously, the town’s enforcement ordinance allows town council to enforce ordinances and regulations by setting a fine up to $1,000 or imprisonment up to one year for each offense.

However, state law authorizes higher amounts of fines, mostly to keep up with inflation.

With 8,877 votes to 6,767, residents approved amending and readopting Section 3.1 of the Charter, concerning town council, allowing the enforcement mechanism to be in compliance with state law.

Under Colorado state law, municipal courts are authorized to impose a fine of up to $2,650, adjust for inflation and imprisonment up to 364 days. Therefore, the town’s municipal court levy fines and imprisonment sentences to correspond with the offense.

To ensure consistency with Section 15.19 of the Charter, voters approved amending Section 4.6, Departments Created.

In 2019, voters approved amending Section 15.19, which states that the responsibility of the personnel manual is with the town manager opposed to the town council.

The approval clarifies that the town manager is in charge of the administration, discipline of staff and the personnel manual by removing the language that the council may provide for the manner in which the department heads supervise, control and discipline employees.

Discussions and planning continues for Parker’s downtown. SHUTTERSTOCK

The charter question to amend and readopt Section 8.3, regarding the oath of office was approved by 13,545 to 2,349 votes.

As all new police officers are required to take an oath before the town clerk or a judge, the chief of police and town clerk may now administer the oath.

With a 659 vote difference, voters did not approve charter question 2D, which would have amended and readopted Section 15.7 concerning bequests, gifts and donations.

There were 7,998 votes against the measure and 7,339 to for it.

Town council will remain responsible for accepting gifts and bequests as well as give away gifts instead of allowing designated staff to accept or make donations of certain categories of properties.

A resolution will have to be made to accept property and an ordinance will have to be made to donate property. This personal property must be able to be picked up, cannot be land.

Town Mayor, Jeff Toborg said the council will continue business as usual.

Final unofficial results will be posted to the Town of Parker website on Nov. 17 due to active military and overseas citizens ballots and the official election results will be certified on Nov. 27.

Four Elizabeth Middle School staffers placed on leave amid investigation District says it learned of complaints made last spring STAFF REPORT

The Elizabeth School District has placed four Elizabeth Middle School staffers on administrative leave and announced that Elizabeth High School Assistant Principal Kimberly Runyan will serve as interim principal at EMS, according to a Nov. 8 press release.

The press release also says that Jim McCoin, a retired athletic director from Colorado Springs, will be on hand for the EMS athletic program “to ensure full continuity of activities.”

Earlier in this school year, the release says, district administration learned about complaints made last spring by EMS students. The release notes that state law requires all school district employees to “promptly report matters related to safety and wellbeing of students, and Elizabeth School District annually trains all staff members on this responsibility.”

Without elaborating on why that legal requirement is emphasized, the release goes on to say: “In cooperation with law enforcement, district leadership has been conducting an investigation related to the incidents that students brought forward last

year. During the course of the investigation, four members of the EMS staff were placed on administrative leave as determined appropriate by the superintendent.”

While clarifying that individuals can be placed on leave to protect their rights and that all are innocent until proven guilty, the release states: “Elizabeth School District takes seriously the trust the community has placed in every employee to help protect and educate each student. Upon gathering the facts, the superintendent will determine the final outcome, and further actions will be taken as needed.”

EMS families were told of the developments in a Nov. 8 email, and staffers were informed at an afterschool meeting.

The district said it will provide more information as soon as it can, but in the meantime it cannot do so because the investigation is ongoing.

Runyan, who will serve as interim EMS principal, has worked in the Elizabeth district for five years and was previously a professional learning specialist in Douglas County School District. She has also kindergarten, second and fourth grades at the elementary level and social studies, language arts and several electives at the middle school level.

Assisting Runyan will be Mark Carara, a retired principal from Falcon School District 49 in Colorado Springs, and McCoin, the retired athletic director, who served Colorado Springs District 11.

‘Sunshine law’ suit sheds light on board’s actions Dispute centers on timing of update to meeting agenda

BY NICKY QUINBY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

An Elbert County mother, Jessica Capsel, recently filed a lawsuit against the Elizabeth School District alleging the school board violated open-meetings law. The incident that led to the suit occurred at the Sept. 11 board meeting, when the Elizabeth School Board passed a “Resolution to Keep Elizabeth Schools Open and Education Unrestricted,” opposing mask and vaccine mandates.

Capsel, who moved to the area in

2019, has two children and holds degrees in writing and public health but currently works as a child nutritionist. Wherever she’s lived, she has always tried to pay attention to school board meetings and participate in the district. “You can’t just assume that the school board is doing things in the best interest of the students,” she said.

Capsel believes the district violated the Colorado Open Meetings Law (part of the Colorado Sunshine Law) by adding the resolution to the agenda at the last minute, therefore not giving parents or community members a chance to read and respond to the resolution beforehand.

Capsel said she pulled up the agenda at 2 p.m. the day of the meeting and did not see the resolution listed. When she looked again around 6 p.m., the time the board

meeting was set to start, she saw the link to an amended agenda and another link to the resolution.

She feels like the resolution came out of nowhere, with no discussion beforehand at previous meetings and without opportunity for input.

The posted resolution was already dated Sept. 11 so it seemed like a foregone conclusion that it would be passed by the board.

Capsel said she didn’t want to file a lawsuit but that, “anyone who violates an open meeting law is only held accountable if a citizen files a lawsuit. That’s the only way to get someone to look at it and pay attention.” She feels that she “can speak up in a way that other people in the community can’t because they have ties to the district.”

In a March article from Courthouse News Service, Jeremy Meyer, spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Education, spoke to this issue, “There is no Colorado state agency that oversees local school districts’ compliance with the open records and open meetings laws.

If an individual believes the local school district has violated one of these laws, they can take their concern to the courts, and the courts will decide whether the local district complied with these laws.”

Colorado’s Open Meeting Law states, “Any meetings at which the adoption of any proposed policy, position, resolution, rule, regulation, or formal action occurs or at which a majority or quorum of the body is in attendance, or is expected to be in attendance, shall be held only after full and timely notice to the public.

“In addition to any other means of full and timely notice, a local public body shall be deemed to have given full and timely notice if the notice of the meeting is posted … no less than twenty-four hours prior to the holding of the meeting … The posting shall include specific agenda information where possible.”

Capsel added that “the whole point of open meeting laws is that we as parents and the community get to participate in the process and see the process happening.”

Court set precedent

Jeffrey Roberts, the executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, referenced a legal precedent established in Town of Marble v. Darien.

He wrote: “The Colorado Supreme Court in 2008 described the notice requirement as a `flexible standard’ but went on to say that a notice is sufficient if the items actually considered at the meeting are reasonably related to the subject matter indicated by the notice.

“The point of the notice requirement is to make sure the community knows what’s coming up at the meeting so they can decide whether to attend or tune in online or perhaps state their opinion during a public comment period. If there’s an emergency and something needs to be added to the agenda at the last minute, that’s reasonable. But a resolution about a topic of public interest that’s not an emergency can wait until the next meeting so the public can be adequately notified.”

In regards to the timeline for the resolution, District Superintendent Dan Snowberger said, “school boards regularly modify agendas at the start of board meetings when new information or items surface.

Meetings must be noticed 24 hours in advance. That meeting was noticed on Friday, Sept. 8. In the case here, the resolution draft was received by a board member after the initial posting and notice of the meeting over the weekend.

“The resolution was posted publicly at 12:36 pm and an amended agenda was posted on Monday, September 11 at 1:32 pm. Had the board decided, it could have been added at the start of the meeting, but we posted as soon as we were able to add it on Monday for transparency (sic) sake.”

At the beginning of the Oct. 2 Board of Education Meeting, Board President Rhonda Olsen clarified the reasoning behind adopting the resolution.

“I wanted to bring up the resolution that we passed on Sept. 11 …

We did it because we were receiving escalating concerns from parents regarding the mandates that they were seeing enacted across the country.

The resurgence of mandates regarding masks, regarding, you know, what goes on in our schools.

“And this was a way to reaffirm our position. We are not changing the way that we are doing anything. This resolution was simply reaffirming that we will not mandate masks for SEE ESD LAWSUIT, P22

Meek, Geiger, Thompson elected to school board 3 defeat conservatives

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A high voter turnout in Douglas County boosted school board candidates Susan Meek, Brad Geiger and Valerie Thompson over a more conservative slate of candidates, upsetting the Republican status quo for the school board.

With over 143,000 ballots counted as of 4:23 p.m. Nov. 8, Meek, Geiger and Thompson have comfortable leads over candidates Andy Jones, David DiCarlo, Jason Page and Maria Sumnicht.

Meek, Geiger and Thompson ran as the Community Choice, Community Voice coalition with a platform of retaining and attracting teachers, restoring community trust and en-

suring safe and welcoming schools for all students.

Jones, Page and Sumnicht ran as the Best DCSD slate, a conservative campaign with a platform of school safety, academic excellence, parents’ rights and expanding career and technical education.

Despite Jones, Page and Sumnicht running as conservatives, only DiCarlo was endorsed by the Douglas County GOP. DiCarlo was the only conservative candidate who opposed ballot measures 5A and 5B, which aimed to increase school funding through tax dollars.

About 92,000 people voted in the 2019 Douglas County school board race and more than 118,000 voters participated in 2021, when the current board majority was elected.

DCSD BOARD FROM PAGE 8

Meek, who was first elected to the board in 2019, has now seen overwhelming voter support for two elections in a row. In 2019, Meek beat Jones by more than 2,200 votes and this year, that margin widened to more than 7,300 votes.

On election night, Meek said she feels that along with Geiger and Thompson, they will represent the majority of Douglas County.

“I think the majority aligns with what we’ve said about student-centered decision making and ensuring we’re tackling local issues, not national agendas,” Meek said. “One of our community’s top concerns is a loss of trust in our board, so that was central for us and our campaigns.”

Geiger echoed Meek in his comments on election night, saying voters showed their support for strong public education. Geiger received 48% of the vote.

Geiger ran against Page and DiCarlo who split the Republican vote. Page had 29% of the votes while DiCarlo had 23%, according to the latest election numbers.

“If you look at the voter demographics, we could not have the majority we have without Republicans and unaffiliated voters saying that competence matters and worrying about what’s best for the district, not national issues, is the most important thing,” Geiger said.

Douglas County voters are 33% Republican, 18% Democrat and 47% unaffiliated, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

A statement from Best DCSD said the candidates are grateful for the voters and their supporters, as well

as congratulated Meek, Geiger and Thompson.

“We are grateful to all the members of the Douglas County community we were able to meet throughout our campaign who trusted us with their vote,” the statement said. “We are also appreciative of those who worked so hard to help us on our campaign journey. We’d like to congratulate Susan, Valerie and Brad on their victory and hope they will seek academic excellence, safety and security, and parent, teacher and community partnerships in Douglas County Schools.”

DiCarlo said in a statement that he was thankful for the support he received and lamented the split vote in his race.

“The school board leadership and my opponent’s campaign manager set up an unfortunate three-way race when they appointed and ran a pro-tax candidate to challenge me,”

he said. “Though we had hoped for a better outcome, we all knew it was going to be difficult when it became clear they were willing to sacrifice three board seats for a tax increase.

I am thankful for the outpouring of support I received throughout the campaign and I’m confident conservative candidates will be able to build on what we accomplished and do better in future elections.”

In a statement from the Douglas County GOP Chair Steve Peck, Peck called Page a “spoiler candidate.”

“Based on the preliminary results, a majority of voters were clearly seeking a conservative representative of the district, and that was Mr. DiCarlo, who earned more than 75 percent support from the party in May 2023,” Peck said. “I hope Republicans learn a important lesson from this cycle that ignoring and shunning the Republican Party will always be a recipe for disaster.”

signs giving notice of upcoming meetings are a required part of this process.

Other developments include Pine Ridge Estates (formerly called Elizabeth West), Elbert County East & Elbert County West, Moorestead (across from Sun Country on County Road 29), Longview Estates and additional homes in the Independence and Spring Valley subdivisions.

Residents worry

Numerous people in Elbert County feel that growth is happening too quickly and without adequate oversight. Residents are worried about high-density developments plopped next to rural acreages, lack of infrastructure, and the availability of water.

County Commissioner Chris Richardson said many of the current developments were approved decades ago. “The new Gold Creek Subdivision … and the Independence Subdivision … were both approved prior to the 2008/10 housing bust. Spring Valley … was initially approved in 2000.” Richardson added this is often a slow process and that “projects in the pipeline do not anticipate full build-out of 30 years or more.”

At the Serenity Pointe meeting, a homeowner expressed frustration that townhomes were planned right next to her property. In the same meeting, resident Brenda Dyche asked, “Why can’t we have bigger lots with less homes?”

It’s a common refrain for residents concerned about growth. As Dyche sees it, the “high-density home garbage” doesn’t fit in Elbert County.

Infrastructure in spotlight

Debbie Ullom, a longtime Kiowa resident and local real estate broker, is concerned about whether or not new developments are built planning for the long-term infrastructure needs of the area. These include services like roads, road maintenance, traffic mitigation, schools, emergency services, renewable water sources, etc.

The Elbert County East and Elbert County West subdivisions will add thousands of homes in an area that is miles from the nearest services. They will not be part of any existing municipality and won’t, Ullom says, “provide what the schools need, the fire department needs, etc.”

In regards to infrastructure, developers do have to contribute in some way.

Jim Marshall, the developer of Spring Valley and Pine Ridge Estates, cre-

ated County Road 178. Originally, the agreement was to pave some 16 miles of roads to and from Spring Valley. In Pine Ridge Estates, Marshall has also recently reduced the number of homes planned and increased the lot size.

Tim Craft, the developer of Independence and Elbert County East & West, will extend Delbert Road from Singing Hills Road to County Road 158 and repave it from the Douglas County line to County Road 13. In regards to Independence, Commissioner Richardson noted that Craft has “taken on more infrastructure requirements than were initially required.”

Another major community concern is whether or not Elbert County has the water available to support development and the subsequent population influx.

In a Healthy Communities Update, Elbert County Public Health Department referenced how Elbert County has recently experienced “intermittent disruptions” to water supply in part due to “depleted water supplies.”

mise. He feels it’s not realistic to keep people from moving to Elbert County but doesn’t want Elizabeth to become another Parker, with taller buildings and “out of control” developments.

As part of his work on the 2018 County Comprehensive Plan, Rosales spoke to people living in Independence, Gold Creek and Spring Valley. He found that 50-60% are people who grew up here but were forced to leave due to lack of work and affordable places to live. Rosales said this lack of housing and services in Elbert County forces people to take their money elsewhere. In his opinion, money needs to stay local and the county needs affordable housing for police officers, firefighters, teachers and those in the service industry.

When it comes down to it, Rosales believes we “shouldn’t tell people where to live or how to live. Some people want to live in luxury homes, some want one-eighth of an acre, some want 1,000 acres. Why should anyone tell someone how to live in Elbert County?”

Plan set to wrap up soon

Moratorium sought

The October 2023 Elbert County Connection described a follow-up study to the 2018 Rural Water Supply Study to update the county’s Water Master Plan, scheduled to be completed this December. It says the county wants to “ensure we are taking steps necessary to ensure new development does not impact current residents, and enact policy that assures our water independence.”

Who conducts studies like this is also a matter of contention. Angers mentioned that the developer for Pine Ridge Estates commissioned their own water study which she feels is a conflict of interest.

The county has many rules and regulations in place to help guide developers and ensure that the growth reflects the needs and desires of county residents. Some community members feel that existing regulations don’t meet the needs of the county and that they aren’t consistently enforced. As Hewell illustrated at the Serenity Pointe meeting, not all residents trust the county commissioners.

Some favor compromise

Not everyone in Elbert County is against the new developments. Dan Rosales, a director for Elbert County Partnership, wants “what will work for the people coming in and for the people who have lived here for 100 years.”

The Elbert County Partnership is a nonprofit focused on the betterment of all residents of Elbert County.

Rosales believes that residents on both sides of this issue need to come together and talk to reach a compro-

At the July 19 Town Hall meeting, Ullom requested a moratorium on all developments and land use applications within Elbert County until concerns could be addressed, documents updated, and better oversight enforced.

Elbert County commissioners previously voted for a one-year moratorium on new housing developments in 2000.

Ullom and other concerned citizens believe Elbert County could benefit from a closer look at the effects of development on things like traffic, water, schools, emergency services, and even quality of life before any more large developments can move forward.

Dettenrieder explained why the county commissioners don’t think a moratorium is necessary.

“Moratoriums are generally limited in scope so that specific regulations in need of updating can be completed, and once updated, the moratorium must be lifted,” he said. “In our case, we have kept our Zoning and Subdivision Regulations up to date in addition to our Transportation Master Plan, Comprehensive Plan, and Capital Improvement Plan. Therefore, a moratorium for purposes of a major overhaul isn’t present.”

He added that, “while several citizens have raised the subject of a moratorium, in a county of 27,000 residents, not everyone will ever agree on every issue.

Growth and development are certainly one of those issues.”

County names members of new water commission

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Months of discussion on who will help decide the future of water supply in Douglas County have come to an end now that county leaders have chosen 11 members of a new volunteer board, including a name that one county leader especially objected to.

“I still have concerns with Sean Tonner” being placed on the board, said Commissioner Lora Thomas.

Thomas has pointed to Tonner’s connection to a proposed plan to pump water to Douglas County from Southern Colorado.

The forming of the new volunteer board — the Douglas County Water Commission — comes against the backdrop of a controversial proposal to pump about 22,000 acre-feet of water per year to Douglas County from the San Luis Valley in the southern part of the state.

An acre-foot is the equivalent of a one-foot-deep pool about the size of a football field. Renewable Water Resources is the private company that proposed the project.

Last year, county leaders Abe Laydon and Thomas joined together in deciding not to move forward with that project, while elected leader George Teal has continued to support it.

Tonner, one of the principals of Renewable Water Resources, attracted news media attention for throwing

his hat in the ring to serve on the water commission.

Find a property tax solution but keep it simple in new session

F

or the upcoming legislative special session to address property taxes, I urge my colleagues to follow a basic military principle: KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Special sessions are truncated.

They are neither the time nor the place for a grandiose reworking of tax law or addressing multiple issues that are not central to easing the shock of 40-100% property tax increases. If this is a legislative fire emergency warranting a special session, we need to focus on the fire.

Particularly when this is an “emergency” of our own making.

After being elected, I repeatedly inquired into what was being

done about property taxes. It was the Titanic of issues for which no one seemed concerned. If no one was addressing the issue, as a newly elected member assigned to the Finance Committee, I was willing to make the effort to do so. But I was repeatedly told that the governor’s office was working on a plan and to leave the issue alone.

By March, however, I still had heard nothing. So, in the spirit of “a good plan now is better than a perfect one later,” when a GOP colleague brought forward a bill to limit property tax rises to 5%/year for three years, I was willing to cospon-

GUEST COLUMN Robert Marshall

sor that effort.

That did not mean we had to leave the issue alone for three years or that 5% would have been the cap signed into law. A short-term band-aide, however, would have bought time to sort out a long-term solution. A solution that could have been socialized, publicized and, in the parlance of the state house, “stake-holded”. I was warned that the Governor’s office was working on a plan and that the legislature needed to wait.

But when the GOP bill came to the Finance Committee, I broke ranks to vote for this “time out” bill, which was defeated 5-6.

When the governor’s plan was finally presented in the last days of the session, I could not receive a straight answer to basic questions regarding how the law would impact local governments in my district. And when I finally insisted on simple declarative answers, the answers were wrong. With more concerns regarding process rather than substance, I was one of seven Democrats to vote against the referred referendum that became Prop. HH. And I have no doubt that the process and complexity behind Prop HH is what led to its decisive rejec-

tion by nuanced swing voters who are not swayed by political slogans or rigid ideology.

So as we head into this special session, I urge colleagues to keep in mind past mistakes and not create a rushed Wile E. Coyote ACME contraption of a solution that will not restore the trust and confidence of Colorado’s voters.

With only a few days in a special session, we should focus on a shortterm stop-gap solution to buy time to create a long-term, transparent, and easily understood solution in open session.

Given that we have had a national core inflation rate of 13% over the past two years, a stop-gap along the lines of a 15-20% cap for property tax rises due to reassessments (without improvements) or a property tax exemption of a baseline amount that would reflect a statewide rise of 1520% (e.g., the first $100K of value), would likely be the ideal “emergency” solution for an “emergency” special session.

Robert Marshall is the state House representative for District 43, which primarily covers Highlands Ranch in Douglas County.

Authorities chase, apprehend suspected car thief

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office arrested Armon Chism, of Denver, after responding to a report of a vehicle theft, which led to a short on-foot pursuit in a Highlands Ranch community.

On Nov. 6, patrol deputies responded to a report of an in-progress vehicle theft on Mill Vista Road.

Authorities immediately established a perimeter.

According to Douglas County officials, as deputies searched the area, the vehicle was located with an occupant in a parking garage on Mill Vista Road.

According to a press release from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the suspect vehicle allegedly attempted to back out of a parking

space and as the deputy activated the patrol vehicle’s emergency lights and pulled forward towards the suspect he accelerated the vehicle to move forward.

The suspect vehicle scraped and collided with the front passenger side push bumper of the patrol vehicle, then allegedly proceeded to run a stop sign and sped away.

Following a short pursuit, the suspect vehicle spun out of control and rolled backwards into a metal railing where it was then pinned in place by deputies.

A short foot pursuit followed along with a taser deployment, with police tracking down Chism and placing him under arrest.

Through an investigation, deputies established probable cause that Chism was a suspect in an earlier vehicle pursuit of a stolen Hyundai

Tucson at the Colorado Boulevard and County Line Road intersection as he was allegedly found in possession of the stolen ignition key.

The Hyundai vehicle was recovered nearby, according to the sheriff ’s office.

In the press release, Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said they will not allow criminals to victimize citizens.

Chism was booked into the Douglas County Jail for suspected motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, obstructing a peace officer, protection order violation, possession of a controlled substance – fentanyl – and criminal impersonation.

“We are committed to ensuring the safety and security of our community and will continue to work tirelessly to protect our residents and their property,” said Weekly.

VOICES A moving tribute

W

e celebrated Veterans Day over the last week, and I love it when the community FROM THE does special things to EDITOR honor these men and women who have served in our armed forces.

For me, one ceremony was more emotional Thelma Grimes than I had expected. At Indian Ridge Elementary School in Centennial, my sons asked me all week to bring my dad to their special assembly. They asked more than once and were excited to show some pride in their grandpa.

On a funny side note , we have had to explain to my 7-year-old more than once that Papa is not old enough to have served in World War II. We explained instead that Papa was in Vietnam and served with honor.

During the short assembly, the school’s principal, Matt McDonald, said something I absolutely loved hearing to all the students between preschool and fifth grades. Mr. McDonald told the students that the assembly is not the only time to thank a veteran.

He told the students when they see a veteran wearing a hat or shirt in the community to say thank you then as well.

He told them it’s important to tell these men and women that we appreciate their service anytime.

This is a great lesson to teach our youth. It teaches them that it’s not just about honoring people for one day, but instead as a matter of routine.

As for my dad — I have written regularly about him having a rough year and nearly

dying twice. He is better now.

Back on track but still not overly energetic and doesn’t get out a lot.

I asked him to go with me to the school. He was a bit confused at first as we sat among 200 kids in a noisy gymnasium.

As the assembly went on the choir performed a thank you song, all of the kids sang each of the songs in honor of each branch of the military, and every veteran attending the event was asked to stand up.

After the ceremony, all of the kids lined the elementary school hallways, and each veteran was asked to walk along the route. Every single student participated in clapping and saying thank you to every veteran.

As we were walking out, Mr. McDonald also shook my dad’s hand. Several of the teachers and staff who have come to know our family this year — and know what my dad has been through — took moments to hug him.

My dad quietly told me — “This made me cry.” My dad is Mr. Rough and Tough. Having him say he was brought to tears says a lot.

For me, having so many in those hallways shows support not just my dad but for our family, and is part of the reason I love community schools where parents, teachers, and students are a part of our family.

While I love what Douglas and Arapahoe counties did with the Operation Green Light program, and I love other ceremonies held throughout the community — this one at the school ,with young students truly showing appreciation, will now hold a place in my heart forever.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thank you, Sonya

For 25 years, I’ve enjoyed reading Sonya Ellingboe’s column, first in the Littleton Independent and now in the Centennial Citizen. Ms. Ellingboe didn’t just list events around town; her articles were so knowledgeable and informative that I was often inspired to attend things I might otherwise have missed. Best wishes to her in retirement! I hope you can find a reporter to continue her work.

Lynn Cleveland Centennial Have faith in the future

Most parents have concerns about their child becoming an adult and think they face an increasingly tough world, a concern throughout time. Every generation has had its challenges and advantages.

My parents faced fighting in WW2 with limited food, gas, tires, sugar, jobs and other hardships. Yet, they survived and raised a wonderful and creative family with enough food on the table and at least one pair of shoes each.

When I became an adult, every male faced the Vietnam draft. “Have you fulfilled your military obligations?” was the 1st question on a job application. Interest rates for a home were 7.5%+++ and there was an electricity shortage nation-

wide. Granted, home prices were much less but so equally were wages. We found jobs, ways to afford a home and raise a family, though not always easy.

Our children became adults at a time of extreme interest rates and economic hardships. They found a way to find success, friends and raise a family.

Our granddaughter found ways to get thru college, find love, marry, begin saving for a home and is looking forward to starting a family.

Our grandsons are getting through college, studying and working hard toward their 2nd graduation in May and ready to “fly” where ever the world takes them.

My mother told me “I’m sorry to leave this world to you.” Generation to generation to generation to generation, every parent is concerned for their children to become adults, just part of being a parent.

If we have taught them perseverance, there should be no hand-wringing, only hope for the future. Every generation has faced its challenges and through perseverance has thrived. The next generations can and will do the same.

Wrong priorities

Colorado is facing a perfect storm of challenges that require clear-eyed, sober-minded leadership from our elected leaders at the state and federal level. Unfortunately, it appears our public officials are distracted pursuing personal vendettas instead of addressing the issues affecting everyday Coloradans.

Inflation is a prime example. Our state is not only home to the worst restaurant price inflation; the Denver Metro has the worst inflation problem of any metro area in the United States. These seemingly unstoppable price increases are cutting into our wages and making it harder to put on the table for our families.

Inflation is not the only surge we have seen in our state that our government has failed to take action against.

Reports from this spring found our state to have the highest rate of violent crime victimizations among the 22 most populous states in the country, with rates soaring to more than double the national average.

These are the problems that Colorado residents really care about, and they deserve adequate attention and action from our elected leaders. Instead, the Biden administration and

Attorney General Phil Weiser are busy trying to dismantle American tech companies at the request of their billionaire competitors, draining precious time and resources from our top law enforcement agencies in the process.

It’s time for our leaders to set aside these distractions and start taking on the issues impacting Coloradans.

Ellen Graham Parker Salute to Sonya

Sonya Ellingboe earned your twopage tribute with years of insightful commentaries about the local art scene, that never — not once — included a negative word about an artist or their art, something that is unheard of in the art world where snarky opinions often shine a light on the author rather than on the individual she or he is writing about.

Sonya and I have had numerous interactions; all favorable; all jovial. I dedicated a painting of mine to her in 2018; I remember she blushed when she saw her name on the museum label.

A true Soldier of Art, Sonya trooped on even as her physical ability to do so was in decline. And her ever-present smile is something I will always remember about her. Continued trooping, Sonya.

LIFE Local artists express themselves through forms of metal, precious gems, unique designs

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The heat of the torch, the smell of pickling solution, the sound of metal on a mandrel and the look of a completed piece are common aspects silversmiths and jewelers in the Denver metro area enjoy about their craft.

Sarah DeAngelo Jewelry: “Southwest, feminine, natural and detailed”

For Englewood business owner and professional jeweler Sarah DeAngelo, these aspects of the silversmithing system are elements she loves, but they come secondary in her personal process.

“I am obsessed with stones and the history of how a stone is formed and how it’s literally the only one in the world like it,” DeAngelo said.

She said taking a unique “peace of the Earth” and “turning it into this beautiful treasured something that makes somebody feel more beautiful” is her favorite part of the craft.

Originally from Los Angeles, DeAngelo began her career in 1997 after a terrible encounter with a rude customer. DeAngelo said she quit her job and the very next day began selling her pieces door-to-door at different businesses.

“I walked out the door and then the next morning I went around

with my little trays of jewelry to a bunch of stores and I got two retail stores that first morning and that sent me on a totally different path,” DeAngelo said.

DeAngelo currently has a retail store and studio at 16 E. Girard Ave. in Englewood.

She describes her styles as “Southwest, feminine, natural and detailed.”

“I make mostly sterling silver.

They’re usually hand stamped using Navajo stamps that I buy from the Navajo artists themselves and then (I use) unique gemstones that I literally search the world for,” DeAngelo said.

DeAngelo moved into her current location after outgrowing her last studio and while she wasn’t looking for retail, she’s happy she found it and she loves the connections she forms with people.

DeAngelo is an established artisan in the industry and she said she was featured in the Sundance Catalog. She said that was a dream goal for her and her work is sold in about 50 stores across the country.

She said the jewelry-making community is vast in Colorado because in her experience people seem to appreciate and value homemade items.

DeAngelo makes all sorts of pieces including rings, earrings and necklaces but she loves making earrings the most because they’re her favorite type of jewelry to wear.

DeAngelo said making a delicate piece can be very meticulous and detail-oriented.

“It’s harder than it looks…and it’s very exact,” DeAngelo said.

Fellow silversmith and production assistant of DeAngelo’s, Katie White is also enjoying the process of building her own business and finding a balance between her two worlds.

White said her specialties in jewelry making are stone setting and intricate stamping work and making things that “excite people and offend them too.”

Originally from New Jersey, White moved to Colorado about seven years ago and is now based in Boulder. White sells her pieces in Denver at markets and in galleries.

White said she was “stone obsessed” as a teenager. “I was collecting raw stones and I actually started wire wrapping and making mainly pendants and rings out of copper and brass,” White said.

During her senior year in high school, White said she was supporting herself, and while she enjoyed making her pieces, she was also selling them as a means of survival.

For White, the best aspect of jewelry making, which she has been doing for about nine years, is that it’s a three-dimensional art form.

“I really love that metal feels like a resource that I can time and time again manipulate,” White said. “It feels like it can be recycled and repurposed. It feels like there is always a story to any jewelry pieces and anything metal-related.”

When she makes a piece, White said she notices a correlation between her mental state and the process.

The silversmith said she will start her process off with a “ceremony” whether it’s making a cup of coffee, smoking herbs or cannabis or saying a prayer.

“Jewelry making is like putting a little piece of my soul and body energetics into something that someone’s going to wear forever,” White said.

White describes her jewelry as different, unique and bold.

“I would say my jewelry has a core theme of being alternative,” White said. “I definitely dabble in everything from being edgy punk to almost like biker babe to boho flowy (and) gem-centered.”

White said people enjoy her jewelry which she sells through Instagram, on her website and in five stores in Denver and two in New Jersey.

White joined DeAngelo’s studio about three months ago and enjoys executing DeAngelo’s style of wire wrapping and knotting.

“What’s cool is I feel like I am honing a lot of my more nitty gritty skills,” White said. “Just making my things look nicer, cleaner, production style and mass quantity.”

In her home studio of organized chaos, however, with her own production assistant and canine companion Dobby, White said she’s a “one-man show.”

“I move all over the place. I change things. I do have a tendency to go in between projects,” White said.

White said she believes she’s “creating magic” in her studio.

“I feel like I am working with my hands and get to view magic by the end. I feel like I am an alchemist.

I feel like I am connecting to the Earth,” White said.

Michelene Berkey: “Not for everyone”

Michelene Berkey is a metalsmith who has made jewelry for a large portion of her life and works from her home studio.

Based in Evergreen, Berkey said she designs and makes silver jewelry with high-carat gold accents, gemstones and different kinds of pearls.

Originally from New York, the 73-year-old said she has had an interest in jewelry making since she was child.

“My grandfather would go to the jewelry exchange in New York and bring home things wrapped up in little pieces of tissue paper and rubber bands,” Berkey said. “I remember standing at the table watching him unwrap these things and just being fascinated with jewelry.”

She attended California State of Long Beach, learned her techniques and “never stopped making (jewelry) and designing it.”

When she was in California, Berkey said she worked in various jewelry shops in the late 1970s and then she moved to Colorado. She said she didn’t have any jewelry connections and took a break from the craft profession to own and operate her own wallpaper and paint business.

Berkey said she returned to full time metalsmithing in 2000.

JEWELRY FROM PAGE 17

“The jewelry that I make is not traditional jewelry. It’s more what they call art jewelry,” Berkey said. “I know how to make traditional jewelry…That’s what I was trained to do but the jewelry that I am making now is made from little sections of cottonwood twigs and just natural things that I find.”

Berkey said the traditional process consists of a metalsmith making a piece out of wax, plastering it and then placing it in a “burnout” kiln where the wax is melted away.

“What’s left is the void of that particular piece that you’re making and then when you’re ready to actually do the casting you melt your metal and you pour it in and it fills in all of those places where the wax had been originally,” Berkey said.

She siad she wants her pieces to have a lot of texture.

“It’s an interesting process. The casting is the same as manufacturers would use to make anybody’s traditional wedding ring,” Berkey said. “In my case I am actually burning away the twigs because they burn away just the same as a wax.”

Berkey said her work is “not for everyone” but those who love it have responded well to her creations.

“The more people have seen it and understood that it’s silver and it’s made from the twigs they’re really fascinated with that,” Berkey said.

Berkey sells her work in galleries and she attends various shows throughout Colorado and other states.

Denver Jewelry Studio: A place to learn

Berkey is always willing to learn, and said she has attended the Denver Jewelry Studio in Littleton and taken classes in different techniques.

The studio has various levels of classes taught by many different instructors and managed carefully by studio owner Judy Brown.

“Our studio we call it a maker space. It’s basically for people who have no experience at all in metal smithing or they’re professionals and they’re looking to learn a new technique,” Brown said.

Located at 8392 South Conti-

Pieces made by teacher and jewelry maker Judy Brown, who owns the Denver Jewelry Studio.

Artist and jewelry maker Sara DeAngelo stamps a piece at her bench in her PHOTOS BY ELISABETH SLAY studio in Englewood.

nental Divide Road, Unit 104 in Littleton, Brown said Denver Jewelry Studio is open daily, except on Wednesday, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

There are four total employees including Brown and 30 contract instructors who travel from all over the country to hold classes.

Brown said she purchased the studio from the previous owners in 2018 after teaching there.

“I am a retired state auditor for the state of Texas and Colorado and I needed a creative outlet,” Brown said.

Brown loves “the endless learning” of metalsmithing.

Brown said her style of jewelry is more natural, which was what she was interested in exploring.

“For somebody that’s a numbers cruncher I found that I gravitate to the organic because it gave me so much more freedom and a lot of times it mimics nature,” Brown said.

“I am always fascinated with not only textures but colors that we find in natural rocks and tree bark.”

Brown said her primary technique to do and teach is cuttlebone casting.

“It’s a very old technique. They use the cuttlefish. I learned that one in 2007 and I just gravitated to it because I love the texture that you find in that,” Brown said.

Brown said she was developing her own style to the technique by making the casting thinner which wasn’t common. This she said is how she also entered the world of teaching.

“I love teaching because I love to see people learning to be creative.

ing,” Miro said.

Located at 6750 S. Emporia St. in Centennial, Miro said the family opened their retail space 15 years ago.

Miro said both her father and her brother are jewelers and the family owns a factory in Lebanon, which is where the business began.

The family opened their current location in 2017 and Miro said her father attended college in Colorado and wanted to return.

For Miro, the best aspects of what she does are the custom pieces the business creates and seeing it journey over the last several years.

“It’s just the custom part of it and being able to take something that has been in our family for a long time and evolve it over time,” she said.

Miro explained the business has evolved from bench jewelry to manufacturing and retail.

She said they make everything from wedding bands to engagement rings to necklaces to earrings.

“The nice thing about custom is you can work with any style because you’re creating it all,” she said. “It’s not like you’re a brand that you have specific styles that you’re working around.”

While versatile in design, Miro said she would describe the company’s pieces as classic and trendy.

Miro said she is not a jeweler but she works on the back end of the business in purchasing and finance.

“I like that it’s a family business that we’ve grown over the generations and we will have for future generations too,” she said.

I think being creative feeds our souls,” Brown said. “All of us need that in our lives in whatever form we have whether it’s cooking or painting.”

Brown said for those looking to venture into metal smithing the studio recommends that they take the 30-hour Metalsmithing course and then go from there. She said information on classes can be found on the studio’s website.

She said people will learn the basics including sawing techniques, filing, hammering and setting stones.

“For us teaching the beginning students all of these techniques they don’t have to buy a lot of equipment to get started at home and they can really express their creativity,” Brown said.

Denver Jewelry Studio also offers Open Studio where artisans can pay a monthly fee to utilize its tools.

New Denver resident and jewelry maker Jenny Foulkes said she recently moved to Colorado and found the studio.

“I needed bench space because my studio is not set up in my home and (Brown) has all the tools, all the solder stations and they’re open all day,” Foulkes said. “I like the warm welcoming atmosphere.”

ECCO helps make holiday bright Christmas for Kids program is underway in Elbert County

BY COURTNEY BAKOS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

PRESENTS

As the holiday season approaches, residents of Elbert County are once again demonstrating their remarkable spirit of giving. From coats to toy drives, local organizations and businesses are joining forces to ensure no one in the community is left without food, adequate clothing, or

gifts under their Christmas tree.

One local organization, Elbert County Coalition Outreach (ECCO), is making a significant impact in the community. Their Christmas for Kids program is designed to ensure that every child in Elbert County experiences the joy of the season.

Applications for the program are being accepted now through 4 p.m. on Dec. 9 and can be picked up at one of three locations: • ECCO, 336 Comanche St., Kiowa • Elizabeth Fire Administration, 146 N. Elbert St., Elizabeth • Elbert County Sheriff ’s Office, 751 Ute Ave., Kiowa ECCO Director Erica Johnson

shared that the Christmas for Kids drive has been a community event for about 15 years. This is Erica’s sixth year organizing this event and she reflected on some of the changes she has made to the program, namely adding gift tags for each child.

“We used to have boxes available at different locations where people could buy toys and drop them off in the boxes. Doing the tags allows each child to receive gifts they truly will enjoy and is a much more specific and intentional way to give and help families in our community,” Johnson explained.

Once the applications are submitted, gift tags are created for each child based on their specific interests, wants and clothing/shoe sizes.

These tags are then placed on trees that will be located at various business throughout Elizabeth and Kiowa beginning Nov. 18. Folks who wish to buy gifts for children in the community then pick a gift tag off the tree.

With high costs and inflation rates, it is anticipated there will be a large number of applications this year.

“We have received 37 applications

so far, which doesn’t sound like a lot but we accept applications all the way until Dec. 9, so there is a long way to go yet,” Johnson added, “and in one day this past week, we received 15 applications.”

Impressively, each application that comes in will receive gifts. The community really steps up to ensure each child in Elbert County has a present under their tree. “It is mindblowing to see how many people want to give and on the flip side of that, how many people are in need.

But it really is amazing to see how the community comes together,” Johnson said.

Gifts are distributed to families on Dec. 16 at the Fellowship Hall in Kiowa. Johnson describes the process of setting up and getting everything prepared: “It really is an amazing operation. The whole team picks up the toys and matches them to the appropriate application. The American Legion also works with us to make food boxes for each applicant. Both the Elizabeth and Kiowa fire departments assist in delivering all the SEE ECCO, P39

ESD LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 6

our children or our staff. We will not mandate vaccinations for our children or our staff.”

At the Oct. 23 Elizabeth School Board meeting, Vice President Heather Booth addressed the lawsuit as well as CORA requests made

by Capsel and Roxanne Aviles, who was a candidate running for school board.

“From time to time, all school districts have likely experienced situations where this law seems to be utilized for personal agendas and even to harass leadership … in conjunction with our upcoming school board elections, we have been faced with a number of huge requests from Mrs. Aviles and Ms. Capsel.”

In regard to what processing CORA requests could cost the district, Booth said, “these CORA requests by Mrs. Aviles and Ms. Capsel, in September and October, have cost us several thousands dollars that ought to be used to educate students instead of being used to support political agendas.”

“Then more recently, Ms. Capsel decided to file a lawsuit. All because we adopted a resolution to declare that we oppose the reinstatement of mask mandates. The [basis] for the lawsuit is that we amended our agenda and at a regular board

meeting, which is perfectly legal to do so, and added the resolution because we only obtained it the weekend before. So this lawsuit will likely cost us another several thousand dollars to defend legal action taken by the board. And the only thing she could even win is to force us to revote on the resolution in a future meeting.”

Booth went on to say she values transparency and accused Capsel and Aviles of taking money away from students. “But for two people to use CORA as a way to steal money from our classrooms seems to be a violation of public trust.”

District Public Information Officer Jason Hackett said the cost of CORA requests to the district is “not a cut and dried process” and that “calculating the actual cost of fulfilling a CORA request is difficult.”

Superintendent Snowberger agreed that the requests were placing unnecessary strain on district resources and reached out to Capsel personally to ask her to stop submitting CORA requests.

Because Capsel is requesting official public documents, she’d prefer to use the formal process already in place. She expressed frustration at the accusation she’s stealing money and added that she’s only made five CORA requests over the span of two months. Two requests had to be revised and resubmitted.

Aviles also pushed back against the accusations in a written response. “During the October 23rd

school board meeting, Director Booth accused me of using `CORA as a way to steal money from our classrooms.’ This is a libelous and charged statement as I have absolutely not stolen anything from our classrooms, let alone money,” Aviles wrote. “In addition, she also indicated that it was costing our district thousands of dollars, which, based on legal invoices I obtained, is also untrue and highly exaggerated.”

Aviles continued: “Any citizen in our community has the right to request inspection of public documents retained by local government agencies, including our school district, through the process of CORA. Had our school board been transparent in their communication, as required by law, these requests would not have been necessary.

I can only hope that lessons have been learned and that our school board will consider transparency as they move into their next chapter of serving our staff and students.”

All have legal rights

Under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) citizens have the right to request inspection of public documents retained by local and state government agencies at reasonable times.

The Elizabeth School District page for such requests is available here and reads, “In accordance with the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), Elizabeth School Dis-

trict is happy to assist with requests for public records. In order to be considered a public record, it must be maintained by the district.” The page also specifies that “some records are not open for public inspection, including student records and portions of personnel files.”

Capsel’s lawyer, Matt Roane, has filed other similar lawsuits within the state of Colorado as well as a separate pending lawsuit against the Elizabeth School District.

Snowberger says that such suits “take necessary resources away from children and staff in launching a legal defense.”

Since 2019, Roane has filed 60 civil complaints in Colorado courts against 47 school districts, two boards of county commissioners, two towns, one metropolitan district and a small city. The article is dated March 2023, so this number may have increased since then.

“If I can help get people talking about sunshine laws and paying attention to this stuff, keeping government accountable, then I feel like we’re moving in the right direction,” he said.

Elbert County News reached out to Rhonda Olsen and Heather Booth for additional comment but did not receive a response by press time. Attorney Matt Roane declined to comment on an open case.

Pay tribute to 10th Mountain Division at History Colorado

T

here are all kinds of stories that get forgotten in the fog of war, stories that need to be retold to give those who served the respect they deserve.

That’s the ethos behind Winter Warriors, the History Colorado Center’s,1200 Broadway in Denver, latest exhibition, which is a tribute to World War II’s 10th Mountain Division — the first American troops specifically trained for mountain warfare.

“Winter Warriors isn’t just about combat in World War II, it’s also a story of creativity, resilience, ingenuity and the human condition,” said Dr. Chris Juergens, Head of Curatorial Services and Anschutz Curator of Military History at History Colorado, in a provided statement. “This exhibition puts a human face on the inhumanity of war, and highlights the price of freedom that US servicemen and women continue to be willing to pay on behalf of their fellow citizens.”

The exhibit opened on Veterans Day and truly takes an expansive and intimate look at the division, from their training at Camp Hale in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains through their breakthrough against the Nazi German Army in the mountains of Italy. The division paid the ultimate price during its time in the fight — about onethird of its members were wounded or killed.

According to provided information, the exhibit relied on resources from the 10th Mountain Division Resource Center — a collection largely donated by veterans of the unit and maintained

by History Colorado and the Denver Public Library — and features some never-before-seen items.

Some of the special items on display include

• A fez taken from Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini’s Italian villa when it was occupied by American troops in 1945.

• The bow and arrows used by one

of the division’s ar- best rock songbooks.

ATTRACTIONS chers.

• The uniforms

worn by soldiers in training and in combat — as well as those worn by the Women’s Army Corps at Camp Hale and Red Cross volunteers in Italy.

• Pieces of art conClarke Reader structed, carved, and etched by soldiers at Camp Hale and on the front lines.

The aim of the exhibit is visitors come away with a greater appreciation of a story they may have never heard before.

“This is a chance for visitors to embark on a multi-sensory journey that explores the history of the 10th Mountain Division from its origins to its combat service in more detail than ever before seen in an exhibition,” Juergens stated. “Even those familiar with the story of these famed Winter Warriors will be captivated by new details, photographs and objects that bring this history to life.”

Soul music is one of the most elastic music genres we have – there is room for all manner of approaches and subgenres. One of the best examples of this is Alabama’s St. Paul and The Broken Bones, a group that started out with a more traditional style and has evolved into a great purveyor of alternative soul. Their debut album is still one of my favorites, but this year’s “Angles in Science Fiction” is a solid and innovative exploration of the group’s sound.

In support of the record, St. Paul and The Broken Bones will be stopping by the Ellie Caulkins Opera House,1400 Curtis St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18. They’ll be joined by alt-singer/songwriter Maggie Rose, so make sure to get tickets at www.ticketmaster.com.

WATER BOARD FROM PAGE 11

a public interview Oct. 13 via videoconferencing.

“RWR has no project in front of the county at this time, and the commission doesn’t exist (yet), so obviously we don’t have anything in front of the commission,” Tonner said at the time.

He also said he would recuse himself — or remove himself from participation — if any plans were to be pushed regarding RWR. Laydon said “it’s been much ado about nothing” that Tonner had brought a proposal to the county.

“I didn’t support it during the (American Rescue Plan Act) discussion, but that doesn’t mean there’s not room for people with big ideas that (can) bring people together,” Laydon said during the Nov. 6 meeting.

Laydon appeared to be referencing the county leaders’ decision in 2022 not to use federal ARPA dollars on the RWR project.

At the time, Laydon said his decision was because the county’s outside legal counsel concluded that the project was not eligible for federal COVID relief funds and recommended the

November 16, 2023No county not participate.

In the recent November meeting, Laydon said that anyone on the water commission “has to check conflicts at the door.”

County’s picks More than 50 people applied to serve on the water commission. Many are current or former public officials, including some who serve on local water providers like the Parker Water District.

The county asked for applications by Aug. 11 but later waived that deadline.

The water commission is expected to help create a plan regarding water supply and conservation, among other aspects of water in the county. It’ll consist of unpaid volunteers, according to the county.

The three elected county leaders planned to appoint three members per each “district,” or area, of the county, along with two selected “at large,” meaning from the county as a whole.

(They later decided to allow people who aren’t residents or landowners in Douglas County to serve on the commission.)

They also plan to appoint “alternates” to serve in place of any main members if needed.

On top of that, the county plans to appoint a “technical advisory com-

mittee” of people with water expertise to help the water commission do its job.

The main members of the water commission, named on Nov. 6, include the following.

Representing District I, or northeast Douglas County:

• James Eklund, who had worked on the state’s water plan, according to county staff.(Removing the requirement for being a landowner or a resident of Douglas County allowed for choosing Eklund, who told county leaders he is “in the city and county of Denver.”)

• Jack Hilbert, formerly one of Douglas County’s elected leaders.

• Donald Langley, who serves on the Parker Water board.

Representing District II, including central and south Douglas County:

• Clark Hammelman, a former Castle Rock town councilmember.

• James Maras, a Perry Park Water and Sanitation District board member.

• Roger Hudson, a Castle Pines city councilmember.

Representing District III, or northwest Douglas County:

• Frank Johns, who said he has worked on various water plans for communities over the years. Johns serves on the board of the Centennial Water and Sanitation District, which serves Highlands Ranch.

• Evan Ela, a longtime water attorney.

• Harold Smethills, a member of the Dominion Water and Sanitation District board and a developer of the Sterling Ranch area in northwest Douglas County.

Appointees “at large,” meaning from the county as a whole, include Tonner and Tricia Bernhardt, who has a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics from Colorado State University and a master’s degree in environmental policy and management from the University of Denver, according to a LinkedIn page.

Details of votes

At the meeting, the motion — or proposal — to appoint the list of applicants passed 2-1 with Thomas opposed.

Thomas said she still preferred to appoint Kurt Walker instead of Smethills.

The motion to remove the requirement that all water commission members be residents or landowners in Douglas County passed unanimously.

November 16, 2023 las County Water Project, a regional partnership that resulted in renewable water for existing homes and businesses in rural, northwest Douglas County.

During his tenure, the county contracted several helicopters and planes to respond to wildfires in the community.

“In the future if you see a fire … and you see it go out pretty quickly and it’s in Douglas County, you can say that was (Roger),” County Manager Doug DeBord said during a tribute to Partridge in January 2021 as Partridge’s time as a commissioner came to a close.

Following one of the county’s darkest-ever days, when a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch left one student dead and eight others injured in May 2019, Partridge and his fellow commissioners allocated $10 million toward school safety.

He’s remembered as staying positive even when navigating politics.

“I’ll always remember that, after a hotly contested primary for commissioner in 2016 when both sitting commissioners, Roger Partridge and Dave Weaver, actively campaigned for my Republican opponent, Roger reached out to me and told me it was his job to make me a successful commissioner,” Thomas, one of the current commissioners, said.

Laydon, another one of the current commissioners, also praised his leadership.

“I had the honor of working with

him daily through some of the most challenging times, from the STEM shooting to COVID-19. He taught me how to be a county commissioner and I would not be here if it weren’t for him,” Laydon said.

Colorado Community Media has left a message to a voicemail box for Partridge seeking comment from his family.

‘All in this together’

Partridge was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2018 but continued serving as a commissioner.

During the county’s tribute to Partridge in January 2021, the commissioner’s battle with cancer was a major topic, as many friends and coworkers spoke about how he inspired them during that time.

“Your courage through your strug-

gles with cancer were so admirable,” then-state Sen. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, had said. “I’m sure there were times of pain and struggle that you didn’t allow us to see but your smile, your confidence, your grace during that time was such an example for me, my family and I think all the people of Douglas County.”

Partridge had spoken to the crowd of participants at the end of the event, thanking his family, the county staff and other elected officials around the county and state for their support over the years.

“We’re all in this together,” he said.

“Thank you for the opportunity for eight years and God bless you all.”

This story draws from a previous Colorado Community Media story on Roger Partridge’s tenure as a county commissioner.

Notices are meant to be noticed.
