‘Homeless Action Plan’ moves forward in south Denver suburbs County to hire coordinator for Englewood, Littleton, Sheridan BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Homelessness isn’t just a financial problem — it can be a life-or-death matter, statistics from the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office show. From January 2020 to January 2021, 17 people experiencing homelessness in Arapahoe County died of natural causes on the street, 22 died by drug overdose, and four died by hypothermia — a condition caused by exposure to cold temperatures — possibly made worse by substance use. “Experiencing homelessness on the street exacerbates chronic medical and behavioral health conditions that are costly to local governments and create life-threatening results,” says the Tri-Cities Homeless Action Plan, a document that cited the county’s numbers on deaths. It’s one of the reasons why Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan are carrying out a plan to address homelessness in the three cities’ region. The early steps in the plan are unfolding as numbers continue to paint a picture of increasing homelessness in the Denver metro area, according to the most recent annual report by the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative. The rise in homelessness in metro Denver is a trend that predates the pandemic but was likely worsened by it. And for those who experience homelessness on the streets rather than temporarily staying with a friend or family or living in motels, finding help can be difficult. There are currently no short-term, emergency, overnight shelters in Arapahoe County, according to a county spokesperson. The plan to address homelessness

in Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan identified a few broad goals: • Stop homelessness before it starts. • Identify individuals at risk and ensure they are safe. • Connect people with the support they need to quickly exit homelessness. One of the main steps the cities may take: creating a “central navigation center” where the unhoused can learn about available services and get help applying for benefits and programs, such as for available housing, the plan says. Another step could involve launching “outreach teams” to engage the outdoor homeless population and help people navigate enrollment into various assistance programs, the plan says. SEE HOMELESS, P8

Calling all artists in 2022 Put your personal artistic stamp on Englewood. If you or someone you know in Englewood is an artist (of any medium), the Cultural Arts Commission (CAC) wants to hear from you. Since 1998 the city council’s program, Arts in Public Places, allocates 1% of its funds to projects supporting the arts. The volunteer city residents who serve on the commission, in turn, scout for local talent and oversee the funds. Reece Adams, chair of the CAC, reports, “We’re committed to finding and highlighting artists and creatives whenever possible, rather than seek out from other municipalities. We have a lot of opportunities coming up, and we’re always looking for artists and creatives of all mediums to get involved and leave their mark.” In 2022, CAC hopes to gain even more momentum by reimagining art and music events in new and dynamic ways. Plans are being discussed for new opportunities for artists and musicians to showcase their talent locally and connect with neighborhoods. If you are ready to put your personal artistic stamp on Englewood, there are several ways you can get in touch with the CAC. Send an email to cac.englewood@gmail. com with your name and medium; the commission will put you on their list and notify you as soon as relevant opportunities come up. Whether or not you are an artist, you can propose an idea or vision by filling out the application at englewoodco.gov/cac.

Ski and Boot Lab stays true to form Highlands Ranch business provides mounts, bindings and fittings BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
For KC McCallum, the hardest part of starting his own business was naming it.

• Personalized instruction with a Biblical Worldview • Enhanced learning opportunities including P.E., Art, Music, STEAM, foreign language, extracurricular clubs and athletics
The Highlands Ranch resident opened Ski & Boot Lab in 2016 after nearly 25 years of working in the ski industry — an industry he finds fun and feels lucky to be a part of. While considering names, McCallum’s brothers gave him some advice. Also small business owners, they cautioned him not to use his name but to pick something that could show up organically in potential customers’ inter-
s net searches. i So McCallum took inspiration from the shop’s o l location instead. After looking at expensive ware-h house spaces, McCallum t found a laboratory to rent i in a commercial building m not far from Highlands Ranch Town Center. It hada s sturdy countertops and cabinets, ventilation, even s an eyewash station. “Everything I needed” too o t SEE SKI & BOOT, P5

house ski tuning equipment and set up a workshop, McCallum said. Now in its sixth season, Ski & Boot Lab mounts bindings, fits boots and tunes skis for Highlands Ranch and beyond. It has demo gear from top brands like Atomic, Blizzard, Nordica, Lange and K2 available for rent, as well. “It’s like renting a Mercedes, BMW, Audi or Porsche,” McCallum said of the 60 or so high-end skis he purchases annually for the shop. But Ski & Boot Lab doesn’t stock merchandise for sale. Not a lip balm, sock or insole, McCallum said. However, he does sell off his demo equipment at the end of the season and can special-order items for customers. Voted “Top of the Town” for ski and snowboard service in 2020 and 2021 by readers of 5280 magazine, McCallum likes to think he’s known for his honest opinion, quick turnaround and skillful tuning. “I think people take me at my word,” when it comes to advice about equipment, he said. “I don’t have anything to sell, you know.” The shop is open 4 to 7 p.m. on weekdays, noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and at other times by appointment. Al-
though that’s only 20 hours a week, 16-hour days are not unusual for McCallum during the season. There’s plenty to buff, scrape and sharpen when he’s not with customers, especially in a thin snow year like this year. McCullum has one employee, a buddy, who helps with waxing skis and snowboards, but McCallum does all other mounting and tuning work himself. He barely minds the extreme hours though, he said, because the hours are spent doing something he enjoys. Plus he has slow summers to rest, relax and spend with family. In recent years they’ve traveled to Florida for his daughter’s cheer competitions, toured Iceland and explored Colorado’s backcountry. “You’ll see me at the pool in June or whatever,” McCallum said. “I hike, bike, climb, run, ski. It’s kind of a balance there.” Before opening Ski & Boot Lab, McCallum worked for Colorado Ski & Golf, Sports Authority Elite and Gorsuch Ltd. where he built connections and developed expertise. He started in the ski industry while he was still a student at Highlands Ranch High School and said he’s never had a job that actually felt like a job. “The 1 a.m. stuff? It’s a little long,” McCallum said of the late nights in his lab. “But I think it’s some of the funnest times.”
Ski & Boot Lab is open 4-7 p.m. on weekdays and from noon until 5 p.m. on Saturdays. PHOTOS COURTESY OF SKI & BOOT LAB

Coloradans worried about water, wildfires and cost of living About 3,500 residents surveyed by Colorado College BY CHRIS OUTCALT THE COLORADO SUN

Public concern about climate change and challenges involving water quantity and quality have increased sharply during the past decade, with more than 70% of Coloradans now viewing drought, inadequate water supplies and low levels in rivers and streams as a serious issue, according to new results from a long-term poll run by Colorado College. “We definitely see some extreme concerns about water,” pollster Lori Weigel of New Bridge Strategy said. “We’re consistently seeing now folks really concerned about droughts and reduced snowpack.” The telephone and online interview polled 3,440 residents of eight Mountain West states. Weigel led the study with pollster Dave Metz of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates for Colorado College’s State of the Rockies Project, which aims to enhance the public’s understanding of socioeconomic challenges in the Rocky Mountain West. In particular, concern over inadequate water supplies is up 30 percentage points since the
poll was first conducted in 2011. Alarm about climate change is up 25 percentage points compared to responses from 12 years ago. “We called it global warming in the very first survey,” Weigel said. “This has really inched up quite dramatically over the years.” During its first few iterations, the poll sampled residents in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and Montana. The poll has since expanded to include Idaho, Nevada and Arizona. “This is a tool for policymakers and the public to gauge citizen attitudes,” said Katrina Miller-Stevens, director of the State of the Rockies Project. Heading into an election year, there’s greater attention on policy, and Metz said high numbers of Republicans, Democrats and independents indicated that a public official’s stance on conservation issues will be an important factor in determining who they vote for. “What really stands out is the degree to which, despite all the change in the world, the levels of support we’re seeing for most of these ideas has remained very steady, Metz said. This year, for example, 86% of respondents said a politician’s stance on the environment was either “important” or “very important,” with 41% making up the latter category. In 2016, only 31% of respondents identified this issue as “very important.” SEE SURVEY, P23

More students attend Colorado charter schools However, access is not equal BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO
More Colorado students than ever are enrolled in charter schools, and those students posted higher test scores than those of students in district-run schools during a pandemic-disrupted school year. At the same time, Colorado charter schools continue to enroll students with disabilities at some of the lowest rates in the nation, and many parents don’t think charter schools will accommodate kids with specialized education plans related to disabilities. Two recent report point to the potential promise of charter schools and changes that still need to happen for them to function like truly public schools, open to all students. More than 15% of all Colorado students now attend charter schools, putting the state third behind only Arizona and Washington, D.C., for proportion of charter school enrollment, according to a report from the Keystone Policy Center, a nonprofit that works on a wide range of policy issues. Charter school enrollment rose during the pandemic even as enrollment in traditional district-run schools declined.
The analysis excluded online charter schools, which also attracted more students during the pandemic. “Enrollment didn’t drop in the charters, and it actually grew, which suggests something about how the schools were interacting with their communities,” Senior Policy Director Van Schoales said. Colorado did not closely track whether schools offered remote or in-person learning in the 2020-21 school year, and many charter schools followed the COVID practices of the district in which they were located, so it’s hard to say how remote learning shaped parent choices. General frustration with pandemic schooling may have prompted more families to exercise school choice. Families that wanted fewer COVID restrictions as well as those who wanted more safety precautions might have found options among charter schools, said Alex Medler, executive director of the Colorado Association of Charter School Authorizers, who was not involved in the Keystone report. “Everything has been massively disrupted, so parents who might not have thought to exercise choice have become more motivated to do so,” he said. The Keystone Policy Center also found that charter schools on average had higher participation in state standardized tests than did district-run schools and their students performed better. And
Charter school enrollment continues to rise according to recent data.
while test scores are often strongly tied to students’ race and socioeconomic background, that was less true at charter schools, the report found. At the same time, there was considerable variation among charter schools, with some posting dramatically worse results than those of district-run

One early step in the plan appears to be coming to fruition: hiring a regional homelessness coordinator to help implement the plan. Arapahoe County’s elected leaders recently approved an agreement with Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan to hire a full-time coordinator. Some items in the plan may take years to carry out. Here’s a look at the plan’s most prominent steps and when some may be tackled. A central resource There appeared to be an uptick in homelessness in 2021 compared to 2020 and 2019 in the Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan areas, according to Mike Sandgren, the leader of Change the Trend. That’s a network of nonprofits and area churches that works to address homelessness in the three cities. The factors that lead to homelessness for a person or family can be complex, but according to research cited by the three cities’ action plan, the reasons can include: • Lack of access to affordable housing. • Changes to, or inability to secure, employment. • Physical and behavioral health challenges. • And fragile or troubled social relationships. Without a place to sleep, receive mail, wash clothes, shower and store belongings, addressing the core problems can prove too difficult for unhoused people becuase their time can be preoccupied with finding food and walking miles to reach necessary resources. The “central navigation center” that Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan may create could take the form of a “stand-alone location that has capacity to support the co-location
of additional county and nonprofit services, and provision of client basic needs such as day-storage, showers, mailboxes, laundry, and pop-up shelter for inclement weather or other emergencies,” the plan says. Englewood, Sheridan and Littleton founded the Tri-Cities Homelessness Policy Group in 2018, partnering with nonprofits dedicated to addressing homelessness in the area. In the summer of 2021, the city councils of Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan approved the Tri-Cities Homeless Action Plan, according to Englewood’s website. The plan was intended to be implemented over the span of three years. The plan lists the navigation center’s creation as a year 2 goal. It is not clear where it could be built. Arapahoe County could provide $300,000 toward the Tri-Cities navigation center out of the county’s portion of economic relief funding from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, a law enacted in response to the coronavirus pandemic. But that depends on how much money the three cities can come up with from other sources, according to the county. “The county will only provide the partial funds once the entity in question secures the rest of the amount needed, so it’s essentially a conditional pledge,” said Luc Hatlestad, county spokesperson. Bringing helpers together The plan recommends designating a lead homeless-service provider to coordinate services for single adults experiencing homelessness.

Change the Trend creates network of help BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The plan to address homelessness in Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan may still be in its early stages, but Change the Trend — an existing network of nonprofits and area churches that works to address homelessness in the three cities — has seen successes of its own. Service organizations in the Change the Trend network were doing some resource navigation work before the pandemic, focusing on people experiencing homelessness who were familiar to the organizations, according to Mike Sandgren, leader of Change the Trend. “Resource navigation” generally means speaking to a person about their background to find resources that fit their specific needs. But when the pandemic arrived in Colorado, the inability to help
people access resources in person led Change the Trend to create a “resource navigation subgroup” within its network, led by Jen Engquist of the Break Bread nonprofit in Littleton. During the pandemic, Change the Trend’s resource navigation subgroup teamed up with the nonprofit Homelessness Awareness and Action Task (HAAT) Force, an organization that received some federal CARES Act funding to temporarily house about 35 families, Sandgren said. The resource navigation team helped place 28 of those families into permanent housing, according to Sandgren. And Change the Trend’s resource navigation team has “moved five folks into housing over the past six months,” Sandgren said in late January. Now, the resource navigation subgroup is restructuring to manage a group of what it calls advocates — people who do the resource navigating — across many Change the Trend-affiliated organizations, according to Sandgren.

partner as the organization currently operates an interim housing facility in Sheridan and works closely with the local school districts,” the plan says. Family Tree is an organization that offers emergency shelter, an information help line, homelessprevention services, education and employment services, and various other resources. The cities’ plan also lays out the goal of hiring a regional homelessness coordinator — a full-time official — to help implement the plan. The coordinator could develop partnerships with key organizations such as the local school districts, Tri-County Health Department and the Denver Foundation to take advantage of resources, the plan says. The coordinator could also communicate with homelessness-related staff in surrounding communities “to engage in joint advocacy for policies and funding at local, regional, and statewide levels,” the plan adds. On Jan. 18, the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement between the Tri-Cities municipalities and the county to hire a coordinator. The agreement was still being reviewed and approved by “all involved parties,” Hatlestad said in late February. The county hasn’t yet posted the opening for the job position, Hatlestad said. Hitting the street One of the more hands-on recommendations in the plan is to create teams that would seek out unhoused people outdoors. “Ideally a coordinated outreach team for the Tri-Cities region would consist of two roving 2-to-3-person outreach teams that for at least 5 days a week are engaging the street population and helping them navigate enrollment into the various homeless (support) programs,” the plan says. The plan also says: “The City of Englewood Homeless Case Management program embedded within the local police department is a preliminary model that can be scaled and expanded.” “Case management” is a term that refers to assessment and planning regarding a person’s needs in order to connect them to the right services, according to the plan. The plan also recommends tapping local mental and physical healthcare providers to explore creating a “medical street team.” Street medical teams can provide wound care and vital health screenings and renew prescriptions, the plan says. “Medical street teams reduce expensive emergency services such as ambulance transports, emergency room visits, and (severe) deteriorating health conditions,” the plan says. The plan lists the coordinated outreach team as a year 2 goal and the discussion about whether to create a street medicine team as a year 3 goal. A safe place People who are newly homeless tend to sleep in their car while trying to maintain other supports such as employment and proximity to family members and to stabilize
STUDIES INFORM EFFORT TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS The Center for Housing and Homelessness Research at the University of Denver conducted one study of families experiencing homelessness and another studying chronic homelessness, largely among individuals. The effort sought to understand what caused families or individuals to lose their
homes, what prevented them from exiting homelessness, and understanding what services exist or are lacking in the “TriCities” area. In January 2021, the Tri-Cities Homelessness Policy Group received a briefing on the studies. See our previous story on the studies at tinyurl.com/TriCitiesHomelessStudy.

school access for children, the plan says in recommending a safe parking program. “Safe parking programs have emerged over the past few years to use public and private parking lots after hours to offer a safe place to sleep,” the plan says. “Participants must pre-register to access the parking lots.” Denver recently approved a permit to allow people living in their cars to park overnight in a church parking lot, news outlet Denverite reported. The city’s planning office issued a temporary zoning permit on July 9 to let First Universalist Church establish a “safe outdoor space” for up to eight cars in a limited area in the church’s lot, located at Colorado Boulevard and Hampden Avenue, according to Denverite. The Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan plan lists a potential safe parking program as a year 2 goal. On the job Landing a job can be key to exiting homelessness, and the plan recommends partnering with programs that can place homeless individuals in the workforce. An organization called Bridge House may come to the LittletonEnglewood-Sheridan area, according to Sandgren. The organization offers a one-year transitional housing program and focuses on “vocational empowerment,” or providing job experience, Sandgren said. Voices that have been there Another initiative that could help address homelessness: hearing from people who have experienced it. The plan recommends that the TriCities effort include a “Lived Experience Advisory Board” to help guide policies to address homelessness in the region. The board could be composed of five to seven members who are currently housed but have experienced homelessness in the region, the plan says. That’s a year 2 goal. Also proposed is a possible peersupport specialist program to extend outreach to immigrant families at risk of homelessness. That’s listed as a year 2 initiative. “There are many fears and sometimes cultural shame in accessing public and private resources for assistance,” the plan says.
Eye on data The plan also considers how to use data to evaluate what strategies are working to lessen homelessness. A homeless management information system, or HMIS, is designed to capture information over time on the characteristics, service needs and accomplishments of homeless individuals, according to the plan. The plan suggests local governments encourage local homelessservice agencies to participate in data entry into the HMIS. That’s a year 1 goal. Using the HMIS “enables communities to better understand the local needs and dynamics among specific subpopulations of people experiencing homelessness, as well as measure the performance of their approaches to preventing and ending homelessness,” the plan says. Housing options Expanding housing opportunities for people in the process of exiting homelessness is also a recommendation. That could include shared housing — renting rooms in a single-family dwelling to unrelated persons to make the housing more affordable — and strengthening outreach to private landlords to increase participation in housing rental subsidy programs. Those are listed as year 2 goals. The plan suggests evaluating in year 3 whether the three-city region needs so-called permanent supportive housing units. Permanent supportive housing is long-term housing that has supportive services for homeless persons with disabilities. The “permanent” housing can be provided in one structure or in several structures at one site or in multiple structures at scattered sites, the plan says. Under “permanent” supportive housing, the housing unit is subsidized, and services such as mental health and substance-use support and financial management are provided at appropriate levels for as long as the person needs it, the plan says.

Women march on
n March, we celebrate women in history, which was also one of my favorite classes in college. Learning the timeline of how and when we got our right to vote, when we entered the workforce and how we have transformed society by generation is fascinating to me. FROM THE In some interviews I recently attended EDITOR with two Castle View High School interns, we talked to several generations of women on how education has changed throughout history. It was fascinating to listen to a woman raised during the World War II era vs. the millennial now. Our Silent Generation guest talked about how being proper was much more important than an education. She talked about her dad telling her she was here to get Thelma Grimes married and have children. She did not attend college. She talked about how much she loved her job at a bank that she had to quit once she became pregnant, noting that even though she was married, women did not show their pregnancies in public. Then, we talked to her daughter who was told by her parents that they had a savings account that was supposed to go toward her wedding. Instead, her parents agreed to let her go to college. She, being in the baby boomer generation, was the only female in the engineering program. For the millennial female, there was no other option. Her parents made it clear she would go to college, and she would succeed on her own merits. For me, there are so many women that I have come to know and respect over the years. It is hard to list all of them. First, I will list my mom. She did not have a career or go to college, but she raised me and my brothers and quite a few other kids in and around our family. While I just call her mom, many kids around me called her “Step-in-Mom” or “Pattymom.” I never wanted to be a stay-at-home mom like her. What I truly respect about my mom is that she accepted that I did not want the same path as she and other women in my family. While she did not completely understand my career ambitions, she supported them. She helped me reach my goals and I respect and appreciate her for doing that for me. She had to wait a long time for grandkids, but I eventually fulfilled that dream for her. Besides my mom, I must bring up the women I currently work with at Colorado Community Media. In the media industry, it is no secret that is has been a male-dominated field. Women have steadily worked their way up. At Colorado Community Media, I could not be prouder of the changes that have taken place in 2021 and 2022. We have Linda Shapley serving as our publisher, bringing decades of experience. We have Lisa Schlichtman serving as our executive editor, bringing decades of experience. We have Kristin Fiore and myself serving as regional editors, bringing decades of experience. And, we have a slew of young journalists who I cannot brag about enough. In the south, we have Jessica Gibbs and Elliott Wenzler making us proud week after week. It would take a lot more space to list all the amazing women we have working hard in every department to get the news to you every week but they all deserve praise and adoration. The women at CCM are strong, dedicated and born leaders and I am proud to call all of them my work family. (Editor’s Note: Thelma Grimes is the South Metro Editor for Coloroado Community Media.

Is selling an art or is it science?
his is a question that gets asked a lot in the world of professional selling. Thought leaders and subject matter experts have debated it for years, and in the end, we WINNING all have come to recognize that it is a little bit of WORDS both, selling is an art and a science. Anyone in a professional selling role has probably learned this lesson through trial and error. Trying to learn sales scripts, a sales process, and adhere rigidly to both while selling leaves Michael Norton no room for interpretation, or art, and often times the salesperson comes off sounding a little bit robotic. Too much science and not enough art. And the salesperson who sticks to their own artistic interpretation of how to sell and strays so far away from their sales process also learns that too much art without any science isn’t effective either. The best salespeople take their craft very seriously. They study the sales process or the selling system that they follow, they do their research and gather valuable data and insights, and they leverage that knowledge to be in a better position to help their customers. And the very best salespeople know that they must learn how to do this in their own voice, with their own personality, and couple their scientific approach to selling with their own artistic nuances and style. Having spent time with thousands of salespeople over the years, I have a great appreciation for superior selling skills

coupled with artistic impression. Unfortunately, I have also observed some truly awful attempts at selling where the salesperson didn’t use art or science, they basically defaulted to brute force. When salespeople T do not have a system or process to follow, ort they weren’t blessed with the personality h or gifted with natural sales qualities, they c default to brute force. What does “brute force” selling look like? w Making as many calls as possible, speaking t with as many people as possible, quick to a present their products or services, does not t ask any questions, assumes they know it d all, tries to force the sale, and forcing their n a own agenda on their prospects, muscles their way through objections without tact, w and generally isn’t very successful. There t t are always exceptions to every rule, but given my choice, I would take the top performing salespeople who have learned the value and have practiced and apply both art and science when selling. There are other well-known categories of salespeople such as the relationship builder and lone wolf. And there have been many studies and much research conducted relative to which type of salesperson is the most effective. My belief is that there is no one style that is better than the others. I know many lone wolves who excel in sales. I also have worked with many relationship builders who crush their numbers and have established trust with the customers. But I would say this, the very best of the best that I have seen blend a bit of all the styles with their own personality and voice.

LIFE After decades of decline, populations flutter back. BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
W
alk into Westminster’s Butterfly Pavilion and head into Wings of the Tropics, where about 2,000 butterflies flutter in a tropical garden filled with plants, trees and humidity. Near the entrance there is a hatching exhibit where cocoons transform into butterflies. Peer in the window next to the display, and Shiran Hershcovich may be working in the lab with others to make community science come alive. Hershcovich is a lepidopterist, a person who studies butterflies and moths, and most recently, she discovered monarch butterflies may be making a comeback in Colorado. “We are enthused to find that monarchs in Colorado showed an approximate 180% increase from the mean over the past seven years of our monitoring efforts,” Hershcovich said. This rise in monarch numbers in the state is the most significant increase in the past 30 years, according to the 2021 Colorado Butterfly Monitoring Network report. The network — which Hershcovich describes as “peoplepowered” — sends community scientists out into designated areas and trails to count butterflies across Colorado. Butterfly-monitoring
programs also operate across the country, including California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and Texas. This is the ninth annual report from the network, and 2021 stood out as having the highest number of volunteer hours recorded since the program’s inception. Important invertebrates As pollinators, butterflies help keep ecosystems alive, Hershcovich explained. By pollinating native plants, they are propagating biological systems, and they serve as important food sources at every step in their life cycle. They also indicate healthy ecosystems because butterflies are picky eaters. The monarch’s host plant is milkweed, and it will only reproduce on milkweed. Therefore, if its host plant is decimated, the butterfly will be the first to disappear. In addition, butterflies help connect people to species of insects. “They are great ambassador animals,” Herschcovich said. “They can be a great gateway point into loving insects. If we started with roaches, it would be pretty hard to get people on board.” The monarch’s steady decline According to Herschcovich, there are two populations of monarch butterflies: Eastern monarchs and Western monarchs, with the Rockies sitting in between the two. And while the recent increase in monarchs is promising news, Herschcovich noted the species has been in a steady decline for decades. Since the 1980s, the Western monarch saw its population decline by 99%, and the Eastern monarch population has decreased by around 80% since the 1990s, Hershcovich said. Even so, the species continues to be denied federal protection from the Endangered Species Act. “Monarchs are one of them too, but they just didn’t make it to the priority, and they didn’t meet all the criteria, I guess,” she said. Without government protection, Hershcovich said conservation becomes vitally important, and that’s where community science can make a difference.
Volunteer conservationists Community scientists can be anyone — a neighbor, a teacher, the average Joe. All it takes is some time to train and explore. Steve Chady, the Pavilion’s longest serving volunteer at eight years and a wannabe lepidopterist since age 12, is one of those community scientists. Between May 15 and Sept. 15, he heads out to Broomfield County Commons Park six times to complete the same walk while counting as many butterflies as he sees. “If you enjoy outdoors and you’re passion-
‘They can be a great gateway point into loving insects.’ Shiran Hershcovich, Lepidopterist
ate about the environment, it’s a way to contribute to conservation,” Chady said. “Everyone comes with a built-in scientist,” Hershcovich said. “Science is just being curious and having that sense of exploration and looking for answers.” Without 61 volunteers counting butterflies across Colorado, the monitoring study would not be possible, and the effort is always looking for more volunteers. In total, the group counted 124 Eastern Monarchs in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas, El Paso, Gilpin, Jefferson, Larimer, Ouray, Routt and Weld counties. “We only know those numbers because of community scientists, so it’s people dedicated to the cause, who are going out and donating their time to count monarch populations,” Herschcovich said. She said the percentage increase in monarchs recorded this year took into account volunteer hours to provide a more accurate number. Because the report relies on volunteers, some years see more hours counting butterflies than others. Counting butterflies aids conservation efforts. Herschcovich noted that conservation can seem like a major problem with only major solutions, and she sees that line of thinking applied to climate change as well. Yet, she believes some answers can be simpler than most folks may think. SEE MONARCH, P13

habitat for monarchs, and when we plant gardens instead of planting native plants — we put grassy lawns — that’s also removing additional habitat,” she said. She said the 2019 and 2020 fire seasons were probably linked to the large declines during those years. On the flip side, she explained the increase in monarchs — both nationally and across the state — is likely due to more favorable climate conditions such as milder temperatures during the breeding season and better rainfall. She also noted decreased use of pesticides and more monarch conservationists planting milkweeds and native flowering plants

“Community scientists really take matters into their own hands and revolutionize what we can do for conservation,” she said. Climate change, wildfires, droughts, urbanization, herbicides and many other factors contribute to the decline of butterflies, and Hershcovich said it all comes down to habitat. “When there are big droughts and water sources disappear or diminish, the host plant (ex. Milkweed) habitat also diminishes, and when we expand urban zones, we also essentially erase healthy

A Colorado legend: Rattlesnake Kate Long musical running at Denver Center through March 13 BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As lights go up on a large stage covered with weathered wood, a cellist, Neyla Pekarek sits spotlighted in a simple chair and begins to play and sing a song about Western women. She is soon joined by cast members, bringing an audience into the world premiere of a new musical “Rattlesnake Kate,” in the Wolf Theatre at Denver Center for the Performing Arts. It’s the first musical commissioned by DCPA Theatre Company and grew out of a concept album, “Rattlesnake,” which Pekarek created after she learned about the remarkable, independent Kate Slaughterback, born in northern Colorado in 1894. Kate, who was divorced six times and ran her own farm near Greeley, was riding her horse across the prairie in 1925, carrying her young adopted son, when they crossed paths with a migration of 140 rattlers. Legend has it that she shot a number of them and when she ran out of bullets, grabbed a wooden sign and eliminated the rest. Pekarek, a graduate from University of Northern Colorado’s strong musical theater program and formerly a member of the well-known band The Lumineers, presented her concept of a musical about Kate Slaughterback to Chris Coleman, DCPA’s artistic director, who saw theatrical potential, commissioned her to develop music and

lyrics, with book/script assistance by playwright Karen Hartman, for a production, originally scheduled for January 2021. Songs and story were first presented in concert version during a session of DCPA’s 2019 New Play Summit, then developed into a truly unique work that will run through March 13.

Coleman directed the large, strong cast (most are members of Actors Equity) and Christopher Jahnke orchestrated and arranged Pekarek’s music, while Dominique Kelley was choreographer. Described as “a campfire tale,” the production is enhanced by lighting as three different actors present parts of the story as Kate, Katie and Katherine. Perhaps this could have been spelled out a little more clearly, somehow, for an audience unfamiliar with the story, although the reasoning is understandable — this woman had many facets. At the Greeley Historical Museum, one can view a dress Kate wore, created from the skins of many rattlesnakes. Yes, she really did wear it, we are told — and it was part of Pekarek’s initial introduction to Slaughterback’s story. Perhaps “Rattlesnake Kate” runs

a little too long, though I have no real suggestion of where it might be trimmed. It’s truly exciting to see a colorful new work in its very first-ever production and especially following a COVID-induced theater drought! “Rattlesnake Kate” is scheduled to run through March 13 at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. See denvercenter.org for tickets or call the box office 303-893-4100. Masks are required here and at other area performance venues. Also scheduled through the season: “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” by Albee, “In the Upper Room,” also new, “Choir Boy” by Tarrell Alvin McCraney and “Quixote Nuevo.” While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, public events frequently are canceled or rescheduled.

Valor overwhelms Mountain Vista 61-15 Raegan Beers continues to dominate with a double-double game BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Big third quarter helps Chapparral beat Palmer Luke Williams scores 24 in second-round 5A playoff game BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Luke Williams, a senior and team captain for the third-seeded Chaparral boys basketball team, didn’t like the way his Wolverines played in the first half of the Feb. 26 second round 5A playoff game against Palmer. Taking the team on his shoulders, Williams led Chaparral to a thirdquarter rally, outscoring the Terrors 30-10, leading to an 81-46 victory. Williams, a 5-foot-11 guard, scored 11 points in the third quarter. Gavin Carter put up three points in the quarter and Jeff Arstingstall and Joel Speckman each scored eight points. “We just wanted to make sure we got the win,” said Williams. “We said we had to pick it up. We were a little rusty. We hadn’t played in a week. The first half wasn’t good enough.
We’ve got to come out stronger against better teams. I didn’t like the way we played but the second half showed more.” Williams had a banner game, finishing with 24 total points, eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals. Speckman, the 6-foot-9 senior, finished with 16 points and seven rebounds. “We really guarded in the third quarter, which led to some easy looks on the other end,” said Chapparral Coach Nate Rohert. “We need to keep our edge, have two great practices, and be ready to go on Wednesday (March 2) for the Sweet 16.” Results for the March 2 contest were not available at press time. As of Feb. 28, Chapparral was 19-4 for the season, drawing a first round bye, facing 40th-seeded Mullen in a Sweet 16 contest. Elite Eight games are slated for March 5 at the Denver Coliseum. “We are playing more like a family and more together,” said Williams. “We took our defense more seriously.”
South metro boys hoops roundup BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
South Metro teams that won second-round games on Feb. 26 included: • Top-seed ThunderRidge, which overcame a nine-point first-quarter deficit and edged Heritage, 54-48. • Mountain Vista topped Overland, 72-63. • Rock Canyon ousted Poudre, 66-46. • Vista and Rock Canyon clashed in a Sweet 16 matchup. • Douglas County defeated Columbine, 77-64. • Eaglecrest beat Highlands Ranch, 68-45 • Regis Jesuit got past Chatfield, 71-47. • Rangeview downed Cherry Creek, 54-51.
In the first round of play on Feb. 23: • Heritage trimmed Pine Creek, 53-51. • Cherry Creek rolled over Castle View, 73-47. • Highlands Ranch eliminated Arvada West, 62-55. • After a slow start, Heritage outscored Pine Creek by seven points in the second half to secure its win. Junior Henry Hossfeld led the Eagles with 18 points. Creek used big second and third quarters when the Bruins outscored the Sabercats by 18 points to advance into the second round. Creek shot 54% from the floor and had three players finish in double digits, led by senior Asher Hofzinger with 21 points. • Arapahoe, Valor Christian and Ponderosa lost opening games in the state 5A playoff bracket.
Valor Christian basketball player Raegan Beers is making up for lost time this season. Beers, a 6-foot-3 senior who will be playing at Oregon State next season, scored 16 points, nabbed 12 rebounds and had four steals as top-seeded Valor overwhelmed Mountain Vista, 61-15, in a Class 5A second round girls playoff game on Feb. 25. In her junior year, Beers was forced to watch the Lady Eagles
from the sidelines after suffering an ACL injury. “There is a huge difference,” admitted Beers. “Last year I had played with the players on the team for a long time of my career, and it was an adjustment sitting and watching them play. I am playing with a whole new team this year. “We are still learning each game and practice. We are going to get better. It was frustrating last year, having to go out there and sit the bench and watch my team and best friends win the title without me. It was pretty tough but it was a great growing and learning experience for me. I feel like I missed out on last year so I feel like I have to get it back this year.” Early in the game, Valor had five SEE BASKETBALL, P17

South metro girls hoops roundup BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As the 2021-22 season continues, girls basketbal teams continue to push toward the playoffs. Last week, several south metro teams hit the paint. Contests from last week included: • Highlands Ranch dominated Cherokee Trail, 73-43. • Cherry Creek rambled to a 6837 victory over Vista Peak. • Chaparral rolled over Denver South, 62-34. • Mountain Vista and Legend were the only two south metro schools to win first-round games,
which were played on Feb. 22. • The Golden Eagles outlasted Rocky Mountain 65-57 and Legend got past Palmer, 62-52, to advance to the second round while teams from Ponderosa, Douglas County, Castle View and Rock Canyon lost opening-round contests. • Legend jumped to a 13-point halftime lead in its win over Palmer. Freshman Mason Borcherding scored 20 points for the Titans and senior Hailey Houlberg had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

different players score, jumping on a quick 17-2 run. With Mariah Hilliard scoring the first seven points in the third quarter, Valor continued to roll. Continuing to dominate on defense, the Lady Eagles held Mountain Vista to a scoreless second half. “I’m really proud of our defensive effort,” said Valor Coach Jessika Caldwell.“I feel like we’re moving in the right direction and I’m really proud of how we’re continuing to grow. I’m excited to see what this team is capable of.” Besides Beers, sophomore Hilliard and freshman Quinn Vansickle each had 12 points. Junior Macey Huard dropped 10 points and snagged eight rebounds “We do have a lot of weapons and what is really good is you can take something away and we have other players that can score,” said Vansickle. “That’s what’s makes us dangerous. We have a lot of girls that can score.” Lily Boydstun was Mountain Vista’s leading scorer with six points. “We’re young,” said Golden Eagles Coach Mike Willahan. “We have a lot of freshman and sophomores on this

Mountain Vist is currently 11-13 on the season. “At the startof the season we had to learn how to win and not to lose,” Willahan said.. “We were playing some of our best basketball down the stretch. Hats off the Valor. They are talented, loaded and have a good coach.” Valor, now 20-3, faced Air Academy in a Sweet 16 game on March 1. Resutls for the contest were not available at press time.

SURVEY FROM PAGE 6
A possible explanation, Metz said, is that a significant number of people indicated that they changed where and when they recreate outdoors due to crowding or the impacts of climate change. Those numbers were highest in Colorado, where 58% of respondents said they made adjustments because of crowding and 31% shifted because of climate change factors. One question that was new to this year’s survey, and also received high levels of concern, was about the rising cost of living, which more than 70% of respondents deemed either “extremely” serious or “very” serious in every state except Nevada. In Colorado, that figure hit 73%; both Idaho and Montana topped 80% on this question. “Younger people and more Republican voters register that as a more serious problem,” Weigel
said. “It’s definitely a top-tier concern.” Not surprisingly, given that the poll was conducted in the days after the Marshall fire, Coloradans also indicated a high level of concern about wildfires. In Colorado, 76% of respondents said they were either “extremely” concerned or “very” concerned about “uncontrollable wildfires that threaten homes and property.” Montana was the only other state in which the concern registered that high, also at 76%. On the question of how to address water quantity challenges, respondents overwhelmingly favored using water more wisely (81%) as opposed to diverting water from rivers in less populated areas toward more densely populated communities (14%). “There’s a very clear mandate across the Mountain West that they want to focus on conservation,” Weigel said. Among Coloradans, 86% supported “creating new national parks, national monuments, na-

tional wildlife refuges and tribal protected areas to protect historic sites or areas for outdoor recreation. And 83% of Coloradans supported a national goal of “conserving 30% of land and inland waters in America, and 30% of its ocean areas by 2030.”
