Potential costs of Dougco health pullout worry Arapahoe Arapahoe warns neighbor of possible legal action over Tri-County exit BY ELLIOTT WENZLER AND ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

owns with Lauri Hamill, his wife, to Englewood in 2019 after posters overran the basement and garage of their home near Littleton. “This is a neat little neighborhood down in here,” Lauri Hamill said, referring to the engineering firms, landscape design companies, auto repair shops and “cool, creative businesses” that make up the area around their studio and warehouse space at 3638 S. Jason St. Plus the proximity to Santa Fe and Hampden make deliveries and pickups a breeze, she said.
Arapahoe County’s threat of possible legal action over Douglas County’s plans to pull out of the publichealth agency serving both counties appears to hinge on whether the exit causes costly disruptions to existing health programs in Arapahoe County’s budget. Arapahoe County Attorney Ron Carl sent the warning to his Douglas County counterpart in a Sept. 3 letter. The letter came in the wake of Dougco’s moves to leave the TriCounty Health Department — which serves both counties as well as Adams County — and form its own health agency, largely over longstanding objections to Tri-County’s COVID-safety orders. Arapahoe is asking Douglas to “slow the pace so all the stakeholders — the three counties plus TriCounty — can make any necessary transitions more efficiently and effectively, and so we can properly assess the cost and process of what we need to do next,” said Luc Hatlestad, spokesperson for Arapahoe County. “The reason this partnership has lasted 55 years is because, in part, we were able to share costs, and obviously that would change if we went

Love for public lands is at heart of business Englewood-based Travel Posters captures experience of journeys BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Blair Hamill was looking for a way to make a living as an artist — for something that would unite his love of this country’s public lands with his talent as a landscape painter and his experience as a graphic artist.
“What could I come up with that would become a more marketable form of my artwork? That could sustain us as a business?” Hamill said he asked himself. Travel Posters was the answer. Hamill creates images that capture “the American travel experience” for posters, coffee mugs and coasters. The outdoor scenes have strong lines, distinctive shapes and a graphic feel. He draws on his former career as graphic designer, his time as a fine art oil painter and on a love of the natural world that extends back to his childhood. Hamill moved the business he co-

Class-action suit targets Colo. child mental health gaps Plaintiffs include hospitalized teens from Castle Rock, Northglenn BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado has lapsed on its obligation to provide mental health care for needy children, leaving them to cycle in and out of emergency rooms instead of receiving appropriate long-term care, according to a federal class-action lawsuit filed against the state Medicaid program. The lawsuit so far includes three anonymous plaintiffs, all teenagers who have for months or years been checked into hospital emergency rooms and psychiatric facilities but then were refused step-down residential treatment because no beds are available. The case is similar to major lawsuits filed in other states, including Illinois, which was forced to revamp its mental health system for children in a 2018 settlement. “Colorado needs a comprehensive mental health plan of care for these children, and there are significant gaps and missing links that need to be rectified,” said Robert Farley, the attorney handling the Colorado case who also successfully sued Illinois. “These children have legal rights to get the necessary services.” The three plaintiffs, identified
only as A.A, B.B. and C.C., should have received intensive mental health services in their communities — an entitlement under federal law for children on Medicaid government insurance, according to the lawsuit. The suit, filed Sept. 3, seeks class-action status to represent other children who have not received needed treatment. The children have been unfairly “institutionalized,” it alleges. One is a 13-year-old Northglenn boy who has been hospitalized at Children’s Hospital Colorado since March because the state has refused to pay for a less-restrictive residential treatment center. The teen, who has reactive attachment disorder and other mental health issues, remains hospitalized due to the lack of other options, according to the lawsuit. Another is a 16-year-old Castle Rock girl who has been in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital Colorado since July 31. The state has been unable to find a longterm residential program, despite looking out of state, according to the lawsuit. The teen, who is suicidal and has post-traumatic stress disorder and reactive attachment disorder, has been admitted to an emergency room 17 times because of her mental health struggles, the suit says.

Furor over mask mandate at Littleton school board meeting District officials hear complaints from speakers BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA
The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education was met with a host of attendees decrying the district’s mask mandate during a Sept. 9 meeting. Shortly before opening the meeting to public comment, board President Robert Reichardt faced several attendees who refused to wear masks or leave the room due to the incoming presence of a student. Littleton Public Schools, which is complying with the Tri-County Health Department’s mask mandate for students ages 2 to 11, requires people who come in contact with students to wear a mask. Reichardt was forced to call a five-minute recess to the meeting until the unmasked attendees left. Afterward, he resumed the night’s schedule, which led to a slew of anti-mask mandate sentiments from attendees. “People in seats like yours make terrible decisions using fear,” said Shelly Thompson, who spoke during the public comment period and said she is a parent of a Littleton Public Schools student. Thompson accused Reichardt, along with the rest of the school board, of allowing the fear of COVID-19 to inhibit children’s learning. She said the pandemic is not dangerous for children and called mask requirements unnecessary. Littleton district schools have reported a steady rise in COVID cases among children and staff since the school year began in August, especially among pre-K and elementary school students. Across the state, COVID cases have risen among children ages 6 to 17, driven by students younger than 12 who are ineligible for the vaccine as well as the spread of the highly contagious delta variant. But public commenters decried further safety protections during the meeting, and several said COVID is not a dangerous threat to their children’s health. Jennifer Barr, who described herself as a parent, said she was not anti-mask or anti-vaccination but said parents should have the ability to choose what’s best for their children when it comes to those options. Littleton Public Schools currently does not have a vaccine mandate for
students. “These mandates are being forced upon our children by an unelected body,” Barr said, referring to TriCounty Health. Speakers raised concerns over what they said was occurring with their children’s mental health due to masks and social distancing policies. Carol Guilford, a retired Littleton Public Schools teacher, said she has three children whose inability to hug or play closely with others coupled with not seeing facial expressions has made it hard from them to develop socially and emotionally. Other speakers took more aim at the legitimacy of the pandemic and science-based responses intended to protect public safety. Vanessa Kelly called COVID a “plandemic,” a term coined by a 2020 conspiracy documentary of the same name about the pandemic and vaccines. She also likened masking children to child abuse. Despite the pushback from speakers, Reichardt, the board’s president, did not make any mention of a possible change to the mask mandate for Littleton schools. Reichardt and other board members, as well as everyone present, continued to wear masks throughout the public comment period due to the presence of a student. Amanda Crosby, head of the teachers’ union, said she understands that parents have mixed opinions about what is best for their children. While she said her union has not taken a side on the mask mandate, the union will support whatever is necessary to ensure children and staff can remain learning in-person. “We want everyone, staff and students alike, to be safe and healthy and in-person,” she said. Tensions over mask mandates have boiled over in some school districts around the Denver metro area. A debate over masking engulfed Jefferson County’s school board members recently. Tri-County Health Department’s decision to mandate masks for children in all schools and childcare centers in its jurisdiction led to Douglas County’s decision to move forward with a split from the department. Vowing to form its own health department, Douglas County’s decision has been met with both praise and criticism. Arapahoe County, which includes Littleton Public Schools and is part of TriCounty, has warned it may pursue legal action to fight the timetable of Douglas County’s move.

Theft from kids leads to ‘community coming together’ Family sees donations, gives proceeds to police union BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Eleven-year-old Asher Swann often sells ice pops in his west Centennial neighborhood in the summer with his younger brother. After Swann sold the frozen treats at a recent soccer event at Cherry Knolls Park in the Southglenn neighborhood, he told his brother to take their wagon under a tree. “When we came back, there was no cooler, and the money is gone,” Swann said. His 6-year-old brother was shocked. His parents helped him file a police report, and Arapahoe County sheriff’s Deputy Bryan Teany came to the family’s home and talked to the kids about what happened. Swann’s mother put out information about the theft on the Nextdoor social media platform. “The next day, I got an email from the parents” about receiving donations, Teany said. Before long, the family had received more than $1,000 from the public after the kids’ story spread. “With all the money, I was like, ‘We can’t keep this,’” Swann said. The family wanted to donate the money to the sheriff’s office — they

Teany mentioned that the union runs a “9/11 memorial ride” — the organization held a Sept. 11 motorcycle ride fundraiser to benefit the union’s Benevolent Fund, which supports members of Lodge 31 and their families in times of need. The fund also provides financial support to injured officers across Colorado, according to the union’s website.

With summer and the day nearing their end, Centennial Park in Englewood hummed with activity. A teenager shot hoops, men warmed up their arms near the baseball diamond and cyclists curled over their handlebars at the recreational space off of Union and Decatur. The cement path around the lake bustled with dogs and their humans out for a little exercise. And as the hazy summer day meandered toward a cloudy night Sept. 1, the fishing poles came out. Jayce Aiken, 16, and his sister Jayla Aiken of Littleton snagged a few bluegills. They’ve just picked up fishing, their mother said. Jaedyn Wright, 4, and his parents caught some sunfish. Eva Nevarrez and Zach Wright, who grew up in the area, bring Jaedyn to the park on a regular basis. “They always bite over here,” Wright said from a spot near the foot bridge. He’s a fan of the fishing. However, with twilight settling over the park, Nevarrez recommended the sunsets.

Blair Hamill packages a poster in the Travel Posters studio in Englewood.
The former teacher began working at the business full time in 2019 after retiring early. At Travel Posters, she’s the organized counterpoint to her creative husband. “We work really well together,” Lauri Hamill said. “Yin and yang.” Like her husband, Hamill loves to hike, camp, snowshoe — anything that gets her outdoors. The couple’s travels inspire the business’s designs. This spring, the twosome went to Canyonlands National Park in Utah. Last fall, they explored New England. And now, majestic Candlestick Tower and colorful West Quoddy Head Lighthouse are among Travel Posters’ extensive catalog of illustrations. With the help of two employees, the Hamills sell their products through their online store and at fairs and festivals. Customers range from individuals to small businesses like General Store 45 in Littleton to national parks in Colorado and beyond. The pandemic, however, disrupted their business last year. The Hamills did only two art shows in 2020 compared to the 42 they worked the previous year. Yet people flocked to the country’s natural places in record numbers last summer and orders from national parks eventually came in. After all, the Hamills aren’t the only ones that love the outdoors. “Even though our show business and festivals basically stalled, we really made inroads with online and with our public lands accounts,” Blair Hamill said. Enthusiasm for the outdoors, and for products that commemorate people’s time there, has persisted. Business for Travel Posters in 2021 is already better than it was in 2019, according to the couple. Hamill understands that travel sparks memories and emotion. He’s done about 250 designs for Travel Posters so far — and whether it’s a cityscape, a mountainside or a natural wonder, he has a story to go with each one. Travel Posters is open by appointment only, but their line of products can be seen anytime by going to travelposters.com.

The American flag flew high above the red rocks Sept. 11, as the notes from “Amazing Grace” rang
out from the bagpipes and drums below. Twelve hundred firefighters and community members stood in silence before ascending the ramp into Red Rocks Amphitheatre to begin the Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb — a climb of 110 stories in honor of the firefighters who died on Sept. 11, 2001. “It’s been 20 years since September 11, 2001 and so this year is extra

special because last year we didn’t have a climb due to the pandemic,” said Shawn Duncan, captain at West Metro Fire and coordinator of the Colorado 9/11 Stair Climb. “So the fact that we can get together and climb in person today and remember the 343 firefighters that we lost and 3,000 Americans 20 years ago is huge.” This years event was capped at 1,200 registrants plus children to allow for social distancing. In the past, the event has hosted about 4,000 participants. “Looking out in the crowd, there’s some of you here that were too young to remember or weren’t even born yet,” Duncan said before the climb. “So it’s really meaningful to me and all us firefighters that you’re here to remember. We made a promise to never forget 20 years ago and this is how we keep that promise.” One of those participants that wasn’t born yet is Adeline Robinson, 17. Robinson is in the firefighter training program at Warren Tech. She said even though 9/11
happened before she was born, it’s still important to her to honor the firefighters and show respect for the profession she is training for. While there was no official in-person event in 2020, some firefighters like Raul Alvarez, with Timberline Fire Protection District, climbed anyway. “We did it last year when nobody was here because of Covid,” Alvarez said. “We still came up and did our own. There were still a couple of firefighters here. I like doing this just the memorial of fellow firefighters that have passed and everybody, the victims. That’s why I walk. Just to memorialize them.” For some, the event has become about more than just remembering the firefighters lost on 9/11. “It’s become about everything; remembering everybody and all the people that are special to us,” said Mike Simons, of West Metro Fire.

World Trade Center steel is part of new 9/11 memorial near DIA Speakers encouraged Americans to never forget the day BY JENNIFER CASTOR ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
On a small field just behind the garage doors at Denver Fire Department’s House 35 on E. 75th Avenue sits a mangled piece of steel. Recovered from the World Trade Center, the worn piece of metal represents incredible loss. Installed this summer, 20 years after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, this is now a permanent location for reflection of the emotions from that tragic day. “9/11 are numbers that are forever seared into our consciousness. We hear that combination of numbers and are instantly transported back to that day. We recall where we were, who we were with, what we were doing. And that abrupt interruption,” said Mary Dulacki, the chief deputy executive director for Denver’s Department of Safety. On Sept. 10, the eve of the 20th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, Denver International Airport, the Denver Fire Department, the Denver Police Department and the Denver Department of Public Safety dedicated a 9/11 memorial to honor the fallen civilians and first responders. “On this infamous day, four separate planes were hijacked and

intentionally crashed — one into the Pentagon, one into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and two into the World Trade Center, killing nearly 3,000 innocent people on one of the worst days in our history,” said Denver Fire Chief Desmond Fulton. Standing in front of the memorial, DIA’s CEO, Phil Washington, brought focus to the heroes from that day. “It changed not just the aviation industry forever, but it changed this country forever. On that horrific day 20 years ago we saw the heroic efforts from emergency responders: police, fire, paramedics. We also saw such effort from airline employees, passengers and so many others,” Washington said. The piece of steel was donated by the Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab (CELL), a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of terrorism through education, empowerment and engagement. The ceremony included a moment of silence, a solemn song led by the sound of bagpipes and the laying of two wreaths. It also paid honor to lives lost in the years since 9/11. “Over the last 20 years, the United States as lost an additional 7,072 people fighting evil that visited New York on that Tuesday morning. This includes the 13 lives that were lost in Kabul just a few weeks ago, rescuing Americans and those fleeing Afghanistan,” said Denver Police Department Commander Mark Chuck.
to lose firefighters due to 9/11 related illnesses and families are still dealing with the loss and tragedy of that day. “I saw someone post something the other day that said, I miss Sept. 12, 2001,” Duncan said to the crowd at Red Rocks. And that really struck a nerve with me. I’ve been having really hard time the last couple months with the decisiveness in our country right now. But think back to Sept. 12, 2001, the only thing that mattered is that we were Americans and we were people and it really brought us all together.”

Can Colorado GOP’s base get past 2020 to win in 2022? Unfounded claims of a stolen election test party’s game plan BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Kristi Burton Brown, chairwoman of the Colorado GOP, appeared at a gathering of Republicans in Jefferson County this summer where she talked about how the party can attract unaffiliated voters and finally win again in 2022. Candidates need to look forward and talk about keeping taxes low and school choice, she said. “We have to become the party of ideas.” But when Burton Brown opened the hotel-conference-room gathering up for questions, the crowd didn’t want to discuss her talking points. They jerked the focus back to the past. “The biggest issue for me is voter cheating and this whole national election, as we all know, was a set up,” a man said. “Has there been any talk of a forensic audit anywhere in this state?” a woman asked next. “If the Arizona audit shows the Dominion (Voting System) machines to be unreliable — and we use those machines — what’s our game plan?” another man wanted to know, referencing a Republican-led recount in the Phoenix area. As Colorado Republicans look to
Supporters of then-President Donald Trump gathered on all four corners at University Boulevard and Highlands Ranch Parkway on PHOTO BY JOHN LEYBA/SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO SUN Election Night, Nov. 3, 2020, waving flags and playing music.
2022 with hopes of bouncing back from two election cycles of defeat, their game plan for how to move forward is clashing with an attachment among the party’s base to unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent. It’s not clear if the two pursuits can successfully coexist. “The election-fraud claim does pose a special challenge, because the base is especially riled up about
it and swing voters are especially turned off by it,” said Daniel Cole, who leads the Republican campaign operations for state House and Senate Republicans. The same debate is playing out in other states, including Arizona, where a Republican audit of 2020 ballots in Maricopa County is dragging on. Trump, who continues to question his loss last year, fell short in the state by more than 10,000 votes. A previous recount of Maricopa County’s ballots found no problems. A push from some in the Colorado GOP to cancel the 2022 primaries to cut unaffiliated voters out of the process and allow party insiders to select the GOP nominees is an extension of the baseless voter fraud anxiety. Unaffiliated voters have been able to vote in partisan primaries in Colorado since the 2016 passage of Proposition 108. For instance, state Rep. Ron Hanks, a Fremont County Republican who has been one of the loudest voices in Colorado when it comes to questioning the 2020 presidential election results, said opting out
of the state-run primary is a step toward election integrity. Randy Corporon, a Republican national committeeman and conservative talk radio host, has been advocating on his KNUS show for the primaries to be canceled for the same reason. “The Republican Party can take … power away from Jena Griswold and the state by reclaiming their own primary,” he told listeners recently, referring to the Democratic secretary of state, who is Colorado’s top election official. Priscilla Rahn, vice chair of the Colorado GOP, recently said she supports canceling the 2022 primary, calling into question Griswold’s ability to fairly oversee the contest. “Ask yourself this: “Do you trust her to administer an honest election and not interfere against Republicans?” Rahn wrote in an Aug. 21 letter. But Dick Wadhams, a former chair of the Colorado Republican Party, sees major peril for his party if it continues to beat the drum on SEE ELECTION, P11

election fraud and opts out of next year’s primaries. “There is no way a Republican can win in 2022 for statewide office and, frankly, in a bunch of competitive districts around the state,” he said of the scenario. Unaffiliated voters made up 43% of registered voters in Colorado at the end of July, compared to Republicans at 26% and Democrats at 29%. “They keep talking about how these unaffiliated voters are going to defile our process because they are going to be nominating a bunch of moderates and liberals,” Wadhams said. “I read that kind of stuff, I listen to it, and I’m thinking: ‘Any Republican candidate for statewide office who doesn’t think about the unaffiliated voters during their primary isn’t serious.’” Wadhams said it would be disastrous for Republicans if questioning the 2020 presidential election results becomes a litmus test for primary candidates. Burton Brown, who hasn’t taken a public stance on the question of whether to cancel next year’s GOP primaries, appears to agree, urging Republicans to move on from last year. “The more we talk about the past, the more we talk about what happened instead of what we are going to do in 2022, the more our candidates are put at a disadvantage,” she said at the Jefferson County Republican event, “because we are focusing on something we cannot control.” Still, she said, questions about election integrity are posed “all around the state.” The Colorado GOP is encouraging people who are concerned about the state’s voting processes to “get involved” and “get your eyes in the room” by becoming poll watchers and election judges. But she said there has been no proof of mass fraud in Colorado and that the only sure way for Republicans to lose in 2022 is for the party’s voters not to show up on Election Day because they think their vote won’t count. Election security was not explicitly on the list when Burton Brown and other top Republicans earlier
this month rolled out a 10-point “Commitment to Colorado” aimed at attracting unaffiliated voters and serving as the party’s 2022 platform. State Rep. Dave Williams, a Colorado Springs Republican, thinks the GOP shouldn’t shy away from election integrity issues and that it needs to push for policy reforms. “It does no one any good to stay out of the fight or not engage,” said Williams, who favors canceling the 2022 primaries. “We need to be able to secure our elections but also prepare for 2022 with the fundamentals — find and recruit candidates, set them up. We can’t ignore one or the other.” He thinks both can be addressed simultaneously — and he also thinks that unaffiliated voters care about election integrity. Even if there are Republicans who want to move on, 2020 continues to dominate the spotlight. Most recently, that’s because of Tina Peters, the GOP clerk and recorder in Mesa County who is under criminal investigation after election system passwords and a copy of a voting equipment hard drive were allegedly taken from her office and then leaked online. Peters’ case has generated headlines in Colorado for weeks. She has cast doubt on the 2020 presidential election results, allying herself with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a Trump supporter who has peddled conspiracy theories about last year’s contest. Seth Masket, who leads the Center for American Politics at the University of Denver, suspects that election integrity questions will persist. “If you make that (stolen election) argument, it’s pretty hard to pivot away from,” he said. “It’s kind of a difficult place that Republicans have painted themselves into.” Ryan Winger, a pollster with Louisville-based Magellan Strategies, thinks the divided focus among Republicans is “symptomatic of a larger problem.” “Many in the GOP fail to understand unaffiliated voters and consequently fail to grasp why they lose elections,” he said. “Sure, making election integrity a major focus will likely scare off unaffiliated voters who didn’t vote for Trump and who the GOP needs to win over, but in a world where there is no dispute about the 2020 result, unaffiliated

voters still aren’t flocking to Republican candidates.” Others, like state Rep. Colin Larson, a Ken Caryl Republican who is eyeing a 2022 congressional bid, doesn’t see election integrity as being the main focus of GOP voters. He’s bullish on his party’s chances next year. “It’s not something I’m inundated with,” he said about election security questions. “The vast majority of people in my district are talking to me about school issues right now. And then after that it’s crime.” Cole, the strategist leading election efforts for Colorado’s legislative Republicans, thinks that even if there is an election integrity focus among the GOP base “it poses a … familiar challenge.” “How to appeal first to the base in the primary election and then to swing voters in the general elec-
tion?” he said. “This is an issue every cycle on both sides of the aisle. And there are always voices who think Republicans can’t hold the base and the middle together. In 2016, Jeb Bush said: ‘You have to lose the primary to win the general.’ But it turned out he was wrong.” The Colorado GOP’s central committee will decide whether to cancel the party’s 2022 primaries on Sept. 18.

VOICES
Decaffeinate and de-escalate
WINNING WORDS
Michael Norton
O
n any given day I will usually have one or two cups of coffee in the morning. On those days where I have three or four, I feel a very palpable difference … I am wired. I also notice that I am a bit more anxious and a lot more impatient. For me, I cannot drink coffee at night for this very reason. I would be up all night. We all respond differently to caffeine, some get wired like I do, and others can drink coffee all day without losing the ability to fall asleep at night. As I look around at what is happening in our country and around the world, I feel like maybe, just maybe there are way too many over-caffeinated people out there. Violent crimes, verbal attacks, road rage, stadium brawls, random acts of violence and other assaults on humanity are occurring with greater frequency, and in some cases, an all-time high. I am not a clinical expert, but anxiousness, fear, doubt and worry seem to be at an all-time high as well. It’s like we are going to our favorite coffee shop asking for a double shot of impatience with extra anxiety. Or we are making our own coffee at home, maybe the double espresso anger brew with some steamed “Hurray for me and the heck with you” creamer. And that’s just the coffee version. For others it may be the caffeinated soda we
drink or the highly caffeinated beverages we consume. Would we like a large or super-size cup of revenge with that burger and fries? And if we really need a jolt, maybe we pick up a shot of the five-hour hostility, you know that little bottle with a kick in it. What could possibly be going on at a baseball game that could stir such hatred amongst the fans? And are we talking about the fans at the World Series, or parents at a Little League baseball game? Are we coming together to enjoy the great American pastime, “baseball, hot dogs and animosity pie?” I am not sure about you, but I am seeing more and more road rage on our streets. Offended drivers attacking one another, flipping each other off, riding so close on the other one’s bumper to try an intimidate them. It’s like they look down and see that their bitterness tank is full, and they feel compelled to try and empty it. Wouldn’t it be better to attend a game and get an order of nachos with a side of jalapenos and good sportsmanship? Or perhaps drive-thru at our favorite coffee house and ask for an iced latte with a double shot of kindness. Maybe we can look down at the gauges on our dashboard and see that our gentleness needle is right where it is supposed to be as we just let others drive on by, even letting them get in front of us.
Did you ever notice that when you scream or yell or threaten others that they now pay attention to you? No, of course you haven’t because that never happens. What does happen is that the other person usually does one of two things, they shut down or they stand up and fight back. And in either case, nothing gets resolved. Instead, there is just lots of shoving, pushing, name-calling, brain damage and heartache. Look, caffeine is certainly not the problem, it was simply used for illustrative purposes. But we are acting out in ways that would suggest that we could all use a little decaf right now. A super-size decaf with two packets of “I love you” and some extra forgiveness while we refuel our hearts with understanding and patience. Isn’t it time to pause and take a bit of the edge off? Are we sweating the small stuff, the big stuff and everything in between? I w would love to hear your thoughts and your d story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and re- a member that when we decaffeinate, we are more likely to deescalate, and then it reallyi d will be a better than good year.

Rounding third base as fourth quarter nears FINANCIAL STRATEGIES
Patricia Kummer
T
he fourth quarter of the year begins soon. Investors are still on the edge of their seats concerned about potential tax law changes and any Federal Reserve policy that might spook the financial markets. The economy is open … or is it? Pandemic concerns continue, schools are open, but some have returned to remote learning. Many employees continue to work from home. No wonder it feels like we are riding an economic seesaw. A deeper look boils down to a few distinct issues: What will the Fed do? And will COVID-19 and its variants shut down the economy in a big way again? Chief Economist Bill Greiner believes our current elevated inflation numbers are largely based on the partial reopening, supply chain issues and pent-up demand for goods and services. This will likely calm down over time. This is key for the Fed to decide whether inflation is enough of a sustainable threat to raise interest rates in the near term. Last year, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell launched the framework to hopefully lead us back to more normal policy at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.

with two counties” in the health department or if Arapahoe stood alone, Hatlestad added. Douglas County commissioners initially voted to leave the health department Sept. 1, just days after Tri-County’s board of health voted to no longer allow counties to opt out of public health orders and to impose an indoor mask mandate for all students and staff at schools within its three member counties. Douglas County formalized the decision to leave Tri-County in a special business meeting Sept. 7. In his Sept. 3 letter, Carl told Douglas County Attorney Lance Ingalls that if Dougco moves forward with its own health department and that action has a “significant adverse impact” on Arapahoe County, Carl’s county may pursue legal action to “invalidate the withdrawal,” according to a copy of the letter obtained by Colorado Community Media. Carl went on to say his county would challenge Douglas County’s decision on the grounds that “it is in violation” of the one-year advance notice requirement for leaving health departments in state law. “In addition, Arapahoe County may also seek to have a court declare that Douglas County must continue to pay its statutory share of expenses for the Tri-County Health Department until such time as Douglas County is legally able to withdraw,” according to the letter. In a Sept. 1 meeting of the Douglas County commissioners, Ingalls said that the one-year-notice rule has been satisfied because Douglas County first notified Tri-County of its plans to withdraw back in July 2020. In November 2020, county commissioners rescinded their notice of withdrawal until at least January 2023 after negotiating with Tri-County to be allowed to opt out of any public health orders moving forward. But Tri-County in August rescinded the opt-out option, violating the negotiated agreement between the two entities and leaving the earlier notice intact, Ingalls said. Asked to comment on the letter from Arapahoe County, Ingalls said through a spokesperson that “this is a legal matter for which there is no response at this time.” During the Sept. 7 meeting at
which Douglas County commissioners formalized their exit from Tri-County Health, county Commissioner George Teal said he was “a little concerned” about how the county’s decision will impact other counties. Aside from issuing public health orders amid the coronavirus pandemic, Tri-County Health responds to outbreaks of all kinds, keeps track of infectious diseases, provides parenting and child health services, and gives training and services regarding drug use and abuse, said Hatlestad, the Arapahoe County spokesperson. Arapahoe runs programs that provide services such as rent assistance, business relief and homelessness assistance, among many other items, Hatlestad said. “We would prefer not to have to move money around” among programs due to Douglas’ exit from the health agency, Hatlestad said. He added: “This is a complicated partnership, and we don’t want anyone to exit it too quickly in a way that hurts the residents.” An analysis of the financial effects of Douglas’ exit could take several weeks to months, Hatlestad said. Consultants that Arapahoe hired will analyze the costs of maintaining an ongoing partnership with Adams and of a scenario where all three counties form their own health agencies, Hatlestad said. In a recent newsletter to her constituents, Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas included a copy of Carl’s letter and said she told Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe that Douglas County may contract with Tri-County Health to continue its delivery of health services to Douglas County while Douglas forms its own new board of health to oversee policies. She also said Douglas County would need the current Tri-County health board to approve that plan, according to Thomas’ newsletter. Hatlestad confirmed details of the conversation between Thomas and Sharpe. Thomas said Douglas County has already paid Tri-County for services through 2021, arguing there should be no immediate financial impact on Arapahoe from Douglas’ exit from Tri-County, according to the newsletter. Thomas also said Douglas would be willing to discuss contracting with Tri-County for services beyond the end of 2021. Asked about Thomas’ interpreta-
Teams of 15 took turns pulling a 65,000-pound Gulfstream jet down the tarmac at Jefferson County’s Rocky Mountain Metro Airport on Aug. 28 as part of Special Olympics Colorado’s annual plane pull fundraiser. More than 1,000 participants tried their hand at pulling the jet, vying for trophies in categories such as fastest time, most money raised and best team costume. Teams were asked to fundraise a minimum of $1,000 for Special Olympics Colorado, an organization that serves nearly 18,000 athletes with tion that a Douglas County contract with Tri-County Health would avoid a negative impact on Arapahoe financially, Hatlestad said: “I would say if that’s true, that’s great, but it’s too soon to tell.” Arapahoe officials want to have the commissioners of all three counties, and Tri-County Health officials, meet together, but “that’s obviously not something we can do overnight,” Hatlestad said.
intellectual disabilities across the state. The event also featured food, a beer garden, vendors and giveaways. Special Olympics Colorado Chief Executive Officer Megan Scremin said the plane pull is one of the organization’s most popular events. “The Plane Pull continues to be a favorite among our supporters and athletes alike,” said Scremin. “Our community showed an incredible level of support during the 2020 event, and we can’t wait to return for another outstanding day!” Another plane pull will be held in Colorado Springs on Sept. 18.

Pandemic, concerns about sustainability shape style trends BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
M
omentous events are often a force in shaping fashion trends and industry standards. Locally, Denver metro area fashion gurus say they are seeing new trends amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and as environmental sustainability is increasingly grabbing consumers’ attention. A resurgence of ’90s style, and retro vibes. Sparkles and sequins. Bold colors, and patterns galore. Also, an emphasis on individual style rather than fitting in a box, body positivity and sustainable fashion. Genesis Gomez, a Westminster-based model, like many accrued a collection of loungewear when the pandemic first struck. “I had my daytime pajamas, and my nighttime pajamas,” she said. “I have a whole slipper collection now.” More recently, she switches it up. Some days she’s back to wearing professional clothing — a blazer and nice shirt — but not every day. With a longtime penchant for ’70s style, Gomez is also embracing that trend lately, throwing on oversized sunglasses and bellbottom jeans, styled with a sleek middle part and natural makeup. “Embracing the oranges, greens, blues, tie-dye,” she
said. “I’m big on the ’70s look these days.” Interviewed as the model prepared to walk shows in New York Fashion Week, Sept. 8-12, she said she was most heartened to see people focusing on being themselves,. “I think that that is truly beautiful, how we are kind of coming into a world where people are just really embracing what fits them best,” she said. Amanda Crazybear is another model who works throughout the Denver metro area. She’s studied fashion history and worked in the industry for 10 years. “I feel like everybody has had just a rough time and kind of got lost,” Crazybear said of the pandemic. “Now everybody is kind of emerging.” She’s watching her two teenage daughters join the revival of ’90s trends, picking up styles she once wore herself, she said, and mixing in goth and urban streetwear inspiration too. “I think the ’90s were just a fun, funky time of freedom of expression for people,” she said. Like her daughters, Crazybear said she’s observing people mesh multiple styles, not just settling for one. Dressing up also helps a person feel good, she said, complimenting Colorado designers for creating designs that empower people of diverse backgrounds and needs.

Darlene C. Ritz is the Denver-based fashion designer behind DCR Studios. She has a doctorate in education and a passion for designing for every body type. For several years there has been a shift away from homogenous trends throughout society toward more individual expression, she said, and the pandemic’s onset expedited that. People were home more, browsing the internet, on their phones and online shopping. For many, shopping became a pastime. Anything
they wanted was available with the click of a button, and so too was fashion information, she said. That’s helped lead to consumers becoming more educated, and as a result making a return to slow fashion and sustainable fashion, she said. They’re deciding to waste less, as are designers. They are purchasing higher-quality items in order to keep them longer, instead of throwing items away after little use. Ritz took her collection to New York Fashion Week,
where she also focused on less waste and including all body types and genders. She gathered inspiration on a trip to Mexico, taking in the many colors, and on a trip to Las Vegas, where she saw an exhibit that featured a phoenix. Rising from the ashes plays a theme in here collection, she said, as are a flourish of prints. “Fashion is a celebration, and we are seeing that people are coming out of this wanting to celebrate,” Ritz said.

Colorful artworks enliven Greenwood Village gallery ‘Explorations in Watermedia’ is multi-faceted exhibition BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
More than 40 assorted watermedia paintings are exhibited at the Curtis Center for the Arts, 2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, through Oct. 30. What a pleasant way to spend an hour or so ... This statewide exhibit was juried for the Colorado Watercolor Society by Karen Roehl, who lives in Denver, maintains a studio in the RiNo Arts District and teaches at the Art Students League of Denver. (Visitors can view several of the juror’s paintings at the rear of the spacious gallery, including a skillfully painted pair of horses.) Gallery director Chris Stevens said CWS members were urged to create “something different.” The “Explorations in Watermedia” exhibition offers traditional
watercolor landscapes and florals, as well as contemporary abstractions, still lifes, nature, animal and bird images and some works that are painted with opaque acrylics, also a watermedia, sometimes combined with the transparent paints and in other examples used alone. Style and technique varies widely, meaning that the exhibit is a pleasure to peruse. Which is to say that works in this exhibit vary widely in style and content and offer a multi-faceted experience for a viewer. Allow time to wander through this light, airy gallery, circle through the center and stroll around the edges again to enjoy the play of light and shadow in the images, as well as individual technical skill and vision. As one enters the Curtis gallery, a burst of color meets the eyes in Tanis Bula’s “Mixed Flower Surprise,” a colorful image of a summer bouquet with tiger lilies, roses and other bright blooms. One can almost catch a scent in the entryway. This skillfully rendered painting
was juror Roehl’s choice for Best of Show. A look at Bula’s website reveals her focus on bouquets, which must be a happy pursuit ... First Place ribbon went to “Peony” by Sally Huang-Nissen of Colorado Springs, reflecting traditional Chinese watercolor technique on this lush pink flower. Richard Forsyth’s “With Light, Color is Revealed” has a golden glow that draws one closer to see what’s happening, while Johanna Morrell’s “Nobody’s Voice But My Own” includes two panels, layered and contrasting with black markings on the clear top panel. Framing and presentation of these mostly small works varies considerably, adding more interest to this exhibit. Susan Randolph’s “New Beginnings” portrays a start-up flower garden — something many viewers will relate to, while Doug Moench’s “Summer Sea Oats” combines a bit of coast with plants and soaring birds in a calm, quiet “day at the
beach” piece. Jazzy and louder is Nancy Priest’s abstract work, “Miro Meets the Map Maker,” large and orange ... not to be ignored! Beatrice Trautman’s “Convergence,” an acrylic work, is almost overwhelmed by its smooth gold frame. Carol Newsome from Evergreen exhibits “Mahali,” a mostly submerged hippopotamus in a calm, sunny river, while “Birds on a Wire,” cliff swallows perched on a branch in another river, won second place. Curtis Center for the Arts is open 8: 30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Admission is free, parking on east side and across Orchard Road. 303-797-1779, greenwoodvillage.com/1247/Curtis-Center-for-theArts.

Denver Art Museum’s Martin Building reopens after $150M project Tickets to the renovated north campus available Sept. 17 BY MAGGIE DONAHUE DENVERITE
For more than three years, the north side of the Denver Art Museum campus has been closed for renovation. But soon, just in time for what is now known as the Lanny and Sharon Martin Building’s 50th anniversary, visitors will finally get to see inside the eight-floor structure designed by Gio Ponti, as well as the new Anna and John J. Sie Welcome Center. The reimagined campus will reopen to the public with a free admission day on Oct. 24. The newly restored Martin Building offers 33,328 square feet of new gallery and public space, educational programming, artist interactions, expanded
outdoor spaces, and sweeping views of the city and mountains. It also features the new Jana & Fred Bartlit Learning and Engagement Center, which offers more than 17,600 square feet of programming space, workshop rooms, community galleries and interactive gathering spaces, including activations by artists Frankie Toan and Moe Gram. The 50,000-square-foot Welcome Center, which connects the Martin Building to the museum’s Frederic C. Hamilton Building to the south, will offer ticketing guest services, programming spaces, an art conservation and technical studies laboratory, and two new dining spaces, including the quick-service Café Gio and the Ponti Restaurant, which features a locally sourced menu by James Beard Award-winning Denver chef Jennifer Jasinski “We are looking forward to being open for creativity, joy and wonder – welcoming our community into new, dynamic spaces this fall, to explore art, world cultures and their

own creativity,” museum director Christoph Heinrich said in a press release. Press materials also say that as part of the Martin Building’s redesign, its galleries have been updated with a commitment to inclusion. Some of those initiatives include highlighting more contemporary and community artists, as well as including bilingual art labels in both English and Spanish throughout the entire museum campus. Some of the updated or new collection galleries include the Northwest Coast and Alaska Native galleries, Indigenous Arts of North America galleries, Latin American Art and Art of the Ancient Americas galleries, Asian Art galleries, European Art Before 1800, Textile Art and Fashion and Photography galleries, and Western American Art galleries. The first floor of the Martin Building, which once was used primarily as art storage, will operate as the 6,500-square-foot Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Gallery. The space will open with “ReVisión: Art in the Americas,” an exhibition highlighting about 180 works from the DAM’s Latin American and Art of the Ancient Americas collections. The renovations cost $150 million to build. Denver Art Museum Board Chairman Lanny Martin and his wife Sharon Martin, for whom the Martin Building is named, contributed the first $25 million. Voterapproved Elevate Denver Bonds covered an additional $35.5 million,

and the museum helped cover the rest by matching public investment dollars at a three-to-one ratio. The renovated campus will reopen to the public Oct. 24 with an opening day celebration from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. While it’s free to attend, guests must reserve tickets, which will be available starting Sept. 17. And if you’re a member and you want to check out the campus early, you can attend a Member Preview on Oct. 21, 22 or 23.

A delightful small vacation is available at the Denver Art Museum through Oct. 10. Simphiewe Ndzube’s paintings and sculpture are shown in a colorful exhibit — “Oracles of the Pink Universe” — which offers a trip into the imaginary world of a young South African artist, born in 1990, who currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He has invented an intriguing world and presents images from it that reflect an arts education which blends European imagery, including “The Garden of Earthly Delights” by Hieronymus Bosch (ca. 1504), with Xhosa tribal mythology and other segments from here and there that reflect colorful imagined worlds — and today’s political realities. The painting “Bloom of the Corpse Flower” from this exhibit is a recent acquisition by the Denver Art Museum, getting DAM in on the ground floor with a talented young artist who is just holding his first U.S. museum exhibit, but is
expected to become a big name in future years. This plant appears in several paintings in “Oracles of the Pink Universe” and DAM director Christoph Heinrich writes in an introduction to the show catalog: “Ndzube’s work interrogates the legacies of apartheid based on his personal experiences, his Xhosa heritage and his knowledge of indigenous African and Eastern art.” In addition to application of paints, the artist at times includes actual garments, bits of fabric and other objects in collage technique. Colors are brilliant and sartorial styling is varied — we find a dude striding toward us in a pink suit and brown fedora, while in “A Visit to a Mine Moon,” a headless character with black and white checked gingham shirt and yellow glove approaches one who floats upside down, with a left leg that turns into a snake. Above them, a third fellow floats, rowing a boat with oars capped with yellow gloves. On the next page, we find a fellow who looks as though he has a secret as he’s surrounded by dripping mustard colored clouds. In one painting stands the Djinguereber Mosque, located in Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa, with design attributed to Abu Es Haq es Saheli, built in 1327. A pictured sculpture shows legendary figure, “Bhekizwe, Riding
Through the Garden of Earthly Delights” — another reference to the famous Bosch painting. A book about Simphewe offers an interview with Plumelele Tsabalala, where he states: “I have been making art from the moment I realized my consciousness, or rather, from the moment I realized I could do something with my hands … creativity has always been a kind of alternative space for me to understand the world. I make art to please myself and surprise myself.” Ndzube later says, with regard to working as a Black artist: “Just being an artist from South Africa, I’m aware of a history of art that excluded black artists ... I acknowledge that my identity and where I’m from grounds the work, but I want my art to go beyond just me: I want to explore the limits of magical realism and its relationship to Third World countries.” The Denver Art Museum, located at 100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway in downtown Denver, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. During the pandemic, one needs to reserve a ticket in advance. Information: denverartmuseum.org, 720-913-0130. While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, public events frequently are canceled or rescheduled. Check with organizers before you go.

New mural brings dose of color to Dinosaur Ridge
Life-sized ‘geometric sculpture’ also planned BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Morrison’s Dinosaur Ridge has long provided a unique chance to see the footprints left by dinosaurs. But starting now, visitors will also get a fresh perspective of what it might have been like to see dinosaurs walk across the area’s prehistoric landscape. That perspective will come via a new mural covering two sides of the facility’s ticket booth at its visitor center, which depicts three dinosaurs walking across the mudflats that once characterized the area. The dinosaurs depicted include a large stegosaurus, the first skeleton of which was discovered at Dinosaur Ridge, and two long-necked apatosaurus. Artist Julia Williams said she was also planning to draw several tracks in the mud flat to reflect the fossilized footprints that can be seen at the site. Painting the mural has been “a perfect opportunity” for Williams, who goes
MORE FROM THE ARTIST To see more of Julia Williams’ work, including her other murals throughout the Denver metro area, visit thedesignosaur.com. by the artist name “The Designosaur” and has painted several murals around the Denver area, including a few depicting dinosaurs. “I’ve always loved dinosaurs since I was a little kid,” said Williams. “I feel quite a connection to them.” Kristen Kidd, the marketing and communications director for Dinosaur Ridge, said that affinity for dinosaurs made Williams a natural to design a mural for the visitor’s center, which already has several painted stegosaurus figures spread around its exterior. “Naturally when we learned about her, we were curious about what she might do here,” said Kidd in an email. “And her design knocked our socks off.” Williams, who lives in Superior, said the opportunity was also particularly exciting because she frequently visited Dinosaur Ridge while growing up in Arvada. “I couldn’t believe it when they called me,” she said.
Julia Williams paints scales onto a stegosaurus as she continues work on her mural at the Dinosaur PHOTO BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO Ridge ticket booth on Sept. 8. The stegosaurus is the Colorado state dinosaur.
One of Kidd’s trademarks is super bright colors. The Dinosaur Ridge mural, which has a color scheme consisting of bright purple, red, orange and yellow, is no exception. “I think it’s super warm and inviting and fun,” she said. “I wanted to bring some sort of color to this area.” The mural isn’t the only new piece of artwork coming to Dinosaur Ridge. In a press release announcing the new mural, Williams explained that Golden-based artists Pat Madison and Jim Dickson
the intersection of 56th Avenue and Highway 93, just north of Golden. Williams said the Friends of Dinosaur Ridge paid for both projects out of its budget, “We love that there are local artists who feature dinosaurs in their work — it just feels like a great fit with our vision of providing a place that not only educates visitors but sparks wonder and imagination,” Williams said. Dinosaur Ridge is also hoping to do more fun dinosaur art projects soon, she said.
will also soon be partnering on a new piece for the facility called “Eolambia.” The release describes that piece as a life-sized geometric sculpture of a planteating dinosaur called an eolambia that “will resemble a Rubik’s Cube with its multi-colored design.” The project will be visible to passing traffic along I-70, with its location and installation date to be announced soon. Madison created a a small herd of colorful geometric triceratops (done in a similar style to “Eolambria”) last year. It can be seen at

Coach’s challenge sparks stellar play Mountain Vista hands Arapahoe season’s 1st loss BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Garrett Looney, football coach at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, had a talk with Nick Stone before the Sept. 9 nonleague game against Centennial’s Arapahoe High. And the 6-foot-1 senior wide receiver listened and accepted the challenge from his coach. Stone caught four touchdown passes to help the Vista Golden Eagles prevail, 27-17, in the game played at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. “He did a great job,” said Vista head coach Garrett Looney. “I challenged him before the game. The last couple games he didn’t play the way he’s capable of playing. You saw the Stone we know tonight. He played awesome. He’s a great player and a really good kid. I’m happy for him.” Stone, who also played a little cornerback, punted, returned punts and threw a 27-yard pass, caught seven passes for 147 yards in the game. “That was a fun high school football game,” added Looney. “They came in 2-0 and were beating the crap

out of teams and we had a tough one with Grandview last week. Grandview is really good. I’m proud of the bounce back our kids had. We showed a lot of grit and determination and played really well.” It was the first loss for Arapahoe in three games while Vista improved to 2-1 overall for the season. Vista quarterback Dane Dougherty completed seven of 15 passes for 133 yards and the Golden Eagles wound up with 366 yards in
total offense. Arapahoe senior Pyreese Miller ran 64 yards on the first play of the game which led to a 3-yard TD pass from quarterback Cole Hanson to Ty Scheckenbach. Vista also scored on its first possession with Dougherty hooking up with Stone on a 13-yard TD pass. The Golden Eagles led 20-14 at half and settled the outcome in the third quarter on a 48-yard TD pass from Dougherty to Stone. “We’re going to enjoy the

win and we have Legend next week,” said Looney. ‘They are really good. This was the type of win we can build off of for sure. It gives out kids a ton of confidence going into league (Continental). Miller unofficially had 123 yards rushing for Arapahoe. “We didn’t do a very good job of doing the things we needed to do,” said first year Arapahoe coach Joe Nuu. “It’s a good thing for us and now we have to get back to the drawing board to
figure out what we need to do. It was a good slap in the face. It wasn’t a slap that all the kids expected, but they (Vista) did a great job. “We’re 2-1. We’re not 0-3. We’ve got to do a better job of executing things because the Centennial League is really tough. Our guys didn’t give up. We just didn’t stay focused and they got into our heads and we didn’t stay with what we needed to do. It was a bunch of little things but I think we’ll be OK.”
Softball shutout is stuff of Legend Parker-area team wins 8-0 against rival Rock Canyon BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Legend shortstop Kaylynn English fields a high bouncing grounder during the game against Rock Canyon on Sept. 8. English had two PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON hits in the game, which the Titans won 8-0.
Cameron Ponich, softball pitcher for Legend High School in Parker, has a habit of picking up a little dirt before delivering a pitch. Ponich was not only picking up dirt and wiping it off before each pitch, she was also wiping out batters for Highlands Ranch’s Rock Canyon High School in an 8-0 Continental League shutout victory on Sept. 8 at Legend. “I’ve been doing it for so long, it’s just a habit of mine and a superstition,” Ponich explained of her custom of grabbing a little dirt.
The junior right-hander scattered just five hits and struck out 15 batters as the Titans, ranked fourth in the Class 5A CHSAANow.com poll, improved their overall record to 9-3. Ponich kept her rise ball low against the Jaguars of Rock Canyon, which made her curveball and screwball more effective, and the league strikeout leader raised her total to 86 strikeouts in 59.1 innings pitched. Ponich surrendered two hits and a walk in the third inning as Rock Canyon loaded the bases but she got the third out of the frame on a ground ball to second base. “Usually I use my rise ball because it’ll make them go under the ball when they swing,” she said. “My favorite pitch is the curveball.” Ponich had two hits and drove in a run in Legend’s nine-hit attack.
“I don’t usually hit for my non high school (club) team but I like hitting so I come through a little bit and I get hits sometimes,” said Ponich. “It was really important to win, especially since it was our first league game, and it sets the tone for the rest of the season and the rest of the league games.” Legend’s junior shortstop Kaylynn English went 2-for3 with a double and triple. She scored twice and raised her team-leading batting average to .614 Emma Harrington also had two hits for the Titans. “I could definitely sense that she was on,” said Legend coach Kristen Shirk when asked about Ponich. “We talked before the game to see how she was feeling and she said she was ready to go. Her stuff was moving, SEE SOFTBALL, P22

which is always a plus.” Legend won back-to-back state softball titles in 2017 and 2018, which is a reminder for this year’s team. “I told the girls the other day, this is a brand new (Continental League) season,” said Shirk. “We want to win (championship) banners. We want to fill the gym with banners. Conference is the first step. We use our non-conference to figure out things and we are really young this year. We only have two seniors. “We have done quite well in our non-conference. I hope we continue to grow. At times we see our youth but then we see some brilliant things that can happen.” Rock Canyon is also a young team. The two-time defending league champions who were the top-seeded team in last season’s state tournament saw its record dip to 6-6. “We’ve come from a position of significant experience and ability to significant inexperience and a lot of potential,” said coach Michael DeSimone. “We have moments when we can see that brilliance and unfortunately some times when we are learning.” Senior Kristen Remley had two of Rock Canyon’s hits while Savannah Avery, Sydney Boulaphinh and Sloane Sprague had the other three

hits for the Jaguars, who went 60-11 over the past three seasons. “We’ve built a legacy,” said DeSimone, who had just four seniors suited up for the Legend game. “We worked hard for many years to build this up and we can’t lower the standards because we’re not ready for the moment. We’ll continue to build and get better. We’re such a tale of two teams. They are great kids and they know what they have to do.”

LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 2
and tied sheets around her neck, has had to rely on emergency treatment while in crisis instead of receiving long-term care that would improve her mental health, according to the lawsuit. The third plaintiff is a 13-year-old Aurora girl diagnosed with major depression and an anxiety disorder who has been hospitalized three times. She’s living at home but needs to go to a residential treatment center, which the state has not provided, according to the lawsuit. Law creates entitlement Under federal law, children who qualify for Medicaid are entitled to receive medically necessary mental health services through a program called “Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment Service.” The goal of the lawsuit, which names Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing Executive Director Kim Bimestefer, is to force Colorado to build a better spectrum of care so that children have more options other than emergency hospitalization, Farley said in an interview with
The Colorado Sun. The state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing declined to comment, noting that it is against department policy to discuss pending litigation. The lawsuit comes at a pivotal time for Colorado, where suicide is the leading cause of death for young people and Children’s Hospital Colorado recently sent up a flare for legislative help because its emergency room is crowded with suicidal and depressed kids and teens. About 2,300 children received intensive community-based services through the state Medicaid department’s Children’s Extensive Support Waiver program, but in order to qualify, children must have an intellectual or developmental disability. Similarly, 163 children received services through the state’s Children’s Residential Program, but to qualify, children had to have a diagnosed intellectual disability. The system is discriminatory, Farley alleged, when only certain children can qualify for residential care. Farley initiated the lawsuit after receiving various calls for help from families in Colorado, he said. “You just can’t flip a switch overnight and create a mental health system for children,” Farley said, explaining that any changes ahead for Colorado are likely to take years.
Some families are desperate In many states, mental health treatment for children is so inadequate that families get to the point that the only safe place they can find for their child is a psychiatric hospital, he said. Each time their child is stabilized and released, the options for step-down programs, such as day treatment or residential centers, are “slim to none,” Farley said, so the child goes home until the next emergency rush to a psychiatric facility. The situation gets so dire that some families eventually refuse to take their children home, which results in the hospital calling child welfare authorities. Under the custody of the child protection division, children receive placement in a residential treatment facility. “It gets to the point where families become desperate,” Farley said. “They don’t see hope. They don’t see progress. They get to the point where we have to do something.” Farley said he knows many kids, not just his 16-year-old Colorado client, who have had more than a dozen visits to the emergency room for psychiatric problems. “That’s not an unusual situation,” he said. “It’s not just somebody falling through the cracks. If you’ve had to go to the emergency room 17 times, something is not working.” In some cases, children are ad-
opted from the foster care system and have severe mental disorders related to early childhood trauma, Farley said. Their adoptive parents struggle to get them help, despite having Medicaid coverage. Residential programs, which cost about $700 or even $900 per day, have been shrinking in Colorado, leaving families and the state to seek beds out of state. Colorado needs to boost its options along the mental health treatment spectrum, including better in-home programs and community programs with the aim of keeping kids out of residential centers and hospitals, Farley said. In May, Children’s Hospital Colorado declared a “pediatric mental health state of emergency” and said its emergency rooms were overwhelmed by children in psychiatric crisis. Mental health emergency room visits were up 90% in April compared with April 2019 and the hospital reported seeing three or four kids each week who had just attempted suicide.

The purpose of CCPWA is to develop and operate a stable and efficient water system for its members. The current members of CCPWA are Inverness Water and Sanitation District (“Inverness”); Castle Rock; the Pinery; and Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District (“Cottonwood”), all of which are political subdivisions of the State of Colorado responsible for supplying water for municipal purposes within their respective service areas and boundaries (collectively, the “Members”). This list reflects the recent change in membership wherein Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority (“ACWWA”) transferred its interest in the CCPWA to Castle Rock, which transaction closed in early 2021. CCPWA owns water rights in the Cherry Creek basin, and each member of CCPWA has a right to use a percentage of the water produced by the water rights owned by CCPWA. 9.2 In November 2005, CCPWA purchased the water rights for a water supply project known as the Cherry Creek Project, including the subject water rights, from Western Water Company. The 10CW318 Decree decreed the subject water rights as part of an integrated system of water rights and structures pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), along with the other water rights and structures owned by CCPWA, stating that work performed and effort and costs expended on any of the water rights or structures that are part of its integrated water system shall, for the purposes of demonstrating reasonable diligence in future proceedings involving all water rights described in the 10CW318 Decree be considered to be diligence on all features of CCPWA’s entire integrated water supply system. Decree for 10CW318 at Para. 7. CCPWA employs a manager and other staff to oversee the management and development of CCPWA’s integrated water supply, including the subject water rights, expending in excess of $250,000 for said services. 9.3 CCPWA expended time and effort, including expenditures exceeding $28,780, to begin revising and updating its water rights master plan in 2020 and 2021. This effort included modeling of CCPWA’s wells to support filling of Walker Reservoir. 9.4 With respect to Walker Reservoir, a cornerstone of CCPWA’s integrated system and decreed place of storage for the Subject Water Rights, CCPWA: (1) completed reservoir design at a cost in excess of $300,000; (2) obtained a necessary Clean Water Act Section 404 permit at a cost of $11,006; (3) performed significant work to obtain floodplain permitting at the cost of $44,230; (4) secured a funding grant from the CWCB to construct the reservoir; and (5) solicited bids and awarded a bid for construction. 9.5 CCPWA also rehabilitated the Christiansen Well No. 3 to supply water to the CCPWA members at a cost of $15,500 and has supplied water to the Pinery during the diligence period, through which CCPWA can divert several of its water rights. CCPWA also rehabilitated the McLain Arapahoe Well and equipped it with SCADA at a combined cost of $208,773. 9.6 CCPWA entered into an annual agreement with USGS for stream gage monitoring and calibration at a total cost of $9,956. 9.7 CCPWA has also contracted with HRS Water Consultants for accounting services at a cost of $75,263. 9.8 CCPWA has also contracted with Douglas County for the purchase of water rights in connection to the integrated system at a cost of $128,228. 9.9 During the diligence period, CCPWA spent more than $360,000 on attorney’s fees related to the development of its integrated system, including projects described above and for the protection and development of its water rights. During that period CCPWA also spent more than $100,754 on water rights engineering services to develop and protect its water rights. These legal and engineering services included the filing of statements of opposition to various water court applications within the Cherry Creek basin. 9.10 CCPWA reserves the right to identify additional diligence activities or provide additional details as may be necessary. 10. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool.

Littleton Museum seeks input for new exhibit BY SHANNA MAXCY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The Littleton Museum is in the early stages of developing a new exhibit that will focus on Colorado’s firsts, famous Coloradans and fun facts. The Colorado exhibit concept spawned from a list of artifacts created by Jenny Hankinson, Curator of Collections at the museum. “The idea was to tell the story of Colorado through our unusual, fun and engaging objects, and to borrow other objects from local museums,” Hankinson said. “For the exhibits we create in-house, we
try to use as many of our artifacts as possible. Selecting and curating the unique objects into a cohesive narrative is one way of developing an exhibit.” To help make the exhibit appeal to a wide variety of Coloradans, the museum is conducting a survey. “While we are in our early stages of planning, the input we receive helps us to shape our themes and the stories we tell,” said Ryan Badger, curator of education and interpretation. “We are one of many Colorado museums and certainly not the first to put together an exhibition that highlights the state and its history. Finding a
niche that is dear to the hearts of Littleton residents enables us to put a different bent on our specific exhibition; this will guide our research and programming and hopefully end in an exhibition that resonates not only with locals, but people throughout the state and beyond.” The exhibit is scheduled to open in June 2023 and run through 2024. And though it is very early in the development process, Moira Casey, curator of exhibits for the Littleton Museum, said that gathering community input is an important step before the curation team begins diving into the research. The survey opened in the begin-
ning of August and will stay open through the beginning of October. Casey said not only is the survey a great opportunity to get input on the front end, but it also makes the community a resource, sharing information the curation team might not know about. There will also be a drawing when the survey closes and responders will have the opportunity to win a gift basket from the museum store, which is reopening after being closed for COVID-19 precautions. The survey can be found at littletongov.org/city-services/citydepartments/museum/exhibits/ colorado-exhibit-survey.
Bird scooters land in Littleton STAFF REPORT
Bird, a shared electric scooter company, is bringing e-scooters to the city of Littleton. Through the Bird smartphone app, riders can locate an e-scooter, scan the QR code and start their ride. Riders also pay for their ride through the app, with no cost to
the city. The e-scooters are available in various locations and require the mobile app to operate. E-scooters can be ridden throughout Littleton’s municipal boundaries, with some exceptions. This partnership with Bird enables riders to replace short car trips to or from downtown with a scooter trip, which the city says
“may help with parking and congestion on Main Street.” Riders must be at least 18 years old, are encouraged to wear a helmet on every ride, and are required to obey all rules of the road. The electric scooters can be used on roads and in bike lanes and are not allowed on regional trails such as the Mary Carter Greenway and

State had no fatal crashes over Labor Day weekend, CDOT reports STAFF REPORT
Colorado normally sees several highway deaths over the long Labor Day weekend each year, but not this year, the Colorado Department of Transportation reports. According to preliminary CDOT data released Sept. 9, the state avoided any fatal crashes this year over the final holiday weekend of the summer.
“This marks the first time in recent history that no deaths occurred on state roads over Labor Day weekend,” a CDOT release said. That’s despite the fact that Labor Day weekend is usually one of the deadliest holiday periods of the year on Colorado roads. Over the last 15 years, Labor Day weekend road fatalities have ranged from three in 2022 to 16 in 2016, CDOT

said. Overall, there were 412 traffic fatalities on Colorado roads at the time of CDOT’s Sept. 9 report, a 6% decrease from this time last year. Of those, 153 were related to impaired driving, the Colorado State Patrol reported.
