Some clarity emerges in creating new county health department Future of Tri-County Health, costs to leave the agency unclear

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The coronavirus pandemic has thrust what was once a seldom-discussed

subject — local public health agencies — into the public consciousness, and the interest locally doesn’t seem to be fading away.

About 2,500 people watched

or called into a virtual town hall meeting where leaders took questions about how Arapahoe County is working to create its own health department amid the breakup of Tri-County Health, according to the county.

Public health agencies play a different role in the

public’s lives than doctors treating illnesses, Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe explained.

“Public health, on the other hand, wants to keep you from getting sick in the first place,” Sharpe said during the town hall.

Adams and Arapahoe counties are still members

of Tri-County Health, but Douglas County has already exited Tri-County and formed its own health department.

Large and expensive single-family homes are a defining feature of much of the south Denver metro area, but collectively, they can function as a barrier for the area’s younger demographic.

“We’re sitting in our big family homes, but our kids can’t afford to move” to the same area, said Candace Moon, a Centennial city councilmember.

She spoke at a town hall event alongside state Rep. David Ortiz, state Sen. Jeff Bridges, and two Littleton city councilmembers about steps the cities and the state legislature are considering to tackle the housing affordability crisis in the metro area and beyond.

STAFF REPORT

There has been a new byline on stories running in Douglas County newspapers recently, as McKenna Harford has dived into her new position with Colorado Community Media.

Harford, who came to the Denver metro area from Sky-Hi News in Granby, was hired as a reporter covering Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch.

Harford takes over for Thelma Grimes who was promoted to south metro editor in January. Grimes now manages newspapers in Douglas and Arapahoe counties.

Harford moved to Colorado about four years ago from Kansas City where she graduated with degrees in journalism and international studies from the University of Kansas.

“I’m excited to get to know Douglas County and expand reporting on the community,” Harford said. “I believe every place deserves dedicated local journalism, so I’m glad I joined Colorado Community Media to help carry out that mission.”

In adding Harford to the team, Grimes said it is exciting for south metro papers as she will be joining an already strong team made up of Elliott Wenzler, who covers Parker and Douglas County, and Jessica Gibbs, who has covered the Douglas

County School District for the last five years.

Gibbs was also promoted to the company’s newly created senior reporter position last month.

“In both Arapahoe and Douglas counties we have a group of dedicated reporters providing strong local content that no other outlets cover as often,” Grimes said. “I am excited to have (Harford) join our team and see how she is already making an impact in just over a month on the job.”

Besides writing stories and covering important local news, in her free time, Harford said she is an avid reader and loves spending time outdoors, especially hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing and horseback riding.

Vibe Foods on healthy path

Superfood bowls, smoothies among fare at Lone Tree shop

IF YOU GO Vibe Foods is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day of the week.

Colorado locations include: • 9500 E. Heritage Hills Circle in Lone Tree • 18320 E. Cottonwood Drive in Parker • 7301 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.

BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Shannon Weston said she could write books about how hard it’s been to expand her Lone Tree-based business during the pandemic.

While many businesses were contracting, Vibe Foods opened its second, third and fourth locations in the 20 months following COVID-19’s arrival in Colorado. Yet through it all, owner Weston remained confident in the local chain’s success, she said.

“It’s the power of good food and positivity,” Weston told Colorado Community Media. People underestimate it, but she said she’s seen lives change when people eat healthily.

Vibe Foods serves smoothies, superfood bowls, wellness shots, bone broth, kombucha and freshly squeezed organic juice in Colorado and Tennessee. The products are minimally processed and free of gluten, dairy and refined sugar.

According to Weston, professional athletes, yoga moms, high school kids and folks with impaired immune systems are all part of a unique customer base that appreciates Vibe Foods’ nutritious, colorful menu.

Vibe Foods offers made-to-order smoothie bowls.

Weston’s been on the health train for over 15 years now, but that wasn’t always the case.

“My generation was so divorced from the idea of what goes in your mouth makes a difference in your health,” the 54-year-old mother of four said.

In fact, it took a crisis for her to make the connection between food and well-being.

In 2008, Weston’s son was diagnosed with celiac disease and lab work showed he was deficient in several nutrients. “Massive” changes were needed, but his health — and the health of the whole family — “turned on a dime” once they cut gluten and artificial ingredients

from their diet, she said.

“We became really, really, really good cooks and really obsessed with making everything from scratch.”

Weston read all she could on nutrition and holistic health. Later, she used that knowledge and her healthy home-cooking experience to open Vibe Foods in 2017.

“I have total faith in what we’re doing,” she said of Vibe Foods’ mission.

Because she believes there’s a need for what they offer, Weston remained optimistic even though one thing after another seemed to go wrong as she tried to navigate Vibe Foods through the pandemic.

A granola shortage, a compostable

cup shortage, equipment delays, permit delays, price hikes — Weston said she has 50 stories about the complications that hindered her expansion dreams.

“It’s been the craziest two years of our lives,” Weston said of the work she and her husband, Mark Weston, have put into the business. “We’re both exhausted, but thank God we have superfoods.”

Vibe Foods’ latest store, located in Littleton’s Aspen Grove shopping center, opened four months ago. However, it doesn’t sound like Weston is slowing down much.

New juicing equipment is going in at the Parker location, Vibe Foods’ largest eatery, and she’s considering adding an additional location in Tennessee.

Once supply chain disruptions abate, hopefully within the next 12 months, the company will launch paleo baked goods and collagenprotein waffles in its restaurants.

They’re just one more way Weston hopes to use food to change health outcomes.

“It’s a mission,” she said. “It’s a passion. It’s a lifestyle.”

teachers, nurses, law enforcement and firefighters — may find it difficult to afford living in a place like Centennial, according to Moon.

“We refer to them as the ‘missing middle,’” Moon said at the April 9 event held at the Littleton Museum.

Bridges, a Democrat who represents a district that includes Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan and nearby areas, placed the issue in the context of recent history: Leaders need to take action so metro Denver’s housing crisis doesn’t one day “look like San Francisco and New York City,” Bridges said.

Bolstered by funding from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, state officials have an opportunity to start addressing the housing problem, Bridges said.

The rescue plan act is the economic stimulus bill signed into law in March 2021 with a goal to support the economic and public health recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of the actions Bridges and Ortiz, also a Democrat, hope state lawmakers will pass is state Senate Bill 22-159, a proposal that would create a “revolving loan” program to finance affordable housing, senior housing and housing designed for people living with disabilities, according to a handout at the town hall.

Under the bill, eligible recipients would include local govern-

ments and for-profit developers.

Another of the ideas Bridges and Ortiz praised is state House Bill 22-1304, a proposal that would provide grants to local governments and nonprofits around the state to buy land and develop affordable housing in communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, according to the town hall handout.

Local governments have a large role to play in shaping new housing developments, and Moon says Centennial is considering redoing part of its land development code.

That’s the document that lays out zoning — a city’s rules for what can be built where — and sets design standards for new construc-

tion.

For example, allowing residents to have an ADU, or an accessory dwelling unit — a small residential space located behind a house or attached to a garage — can be helpful for people who have parents living at home or adult children, Moon said.

The councilmember also said Centennial is considering a “density bonus program” to increase construction.

The town hall sought to recast the term “density,” which often elicits negative reactions from area residents who oppose building multi-family developments, such as apartments or duplexes.

Littleton City Councilmember Stephen Barr wants the public to think about “gentle density,” which he referred to as “not all trailer parks and skyrises.”

Barr argued that a “NIMBY” mindset — a “not in my back yard” attitude toward new development — is not sustainable in the long run.

Kelly Milliman, a Littleton city councilmember, said growth is inevitable as the region and the country continue to grow.

Speaking about Littleton, she said: “We could put up the walls, we could say no more development, and then what do we turn into? A very expensive community.”

The landscape of local governments’ power to affect housing affordability saw a big change in 2021 when Gov. Jared Polis signed state House Bill 1117, a measure allowing local governments to impose affordable housing requirements on new developments.

State House Bill 1117 modified state land-use statutes so local

State Rep. David Ortiz speaks during an April 9 town hall event about housing affordability, hosted at the Littleton Museum. State and city officials took part in the town hall.

governments can require belowmarket-rate units in new or redeveloped rental projects without running afoul of the state’s rentcontrol prohibition, The Colorado Sun reported. It reverses the effects of a 2000 Colorado Supreme Court ruling that restrained local governments for years, according to the Sun. Under House Bill 1117, cities can impose affordable housing requirements on new or redeveloped projects so long as they give developers or property owners alternatives to building affordable units on-site. For example, they could trade those for affordable units built elsewhere, pay a fee into an affordable housing fund, or any number of other options, the Sun reported.

It’s unclear whether cities such as Littleton and Centennial will invoke that power in future attempts to address housing prices, but Littleton’s council in particular may soon consider what Milliman called an “inclusionary housing ordinance.”

That proposal would “maybe incentivize or regulate developments to have (some) number of affordable housing units,” Milliman said. “We don’t know yet.”

Moon encouraged the public to give input about housing on the City of Centennial’s website.

Bridges represents state Senate District 26, an area that includes Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, the Columbine Valley area and parts of Aurora.

Ortiz represents state House District 38, an area that covers much of Littleton, west Centennial, Bow Mar and Columbine Valley.

UKRAINE FROM PAGE 1

from her friends just hours before.

They heard the bombs, she said.

“Then I forgot what sleeping is.”

Since then, Schmitt shifted her mindset from helplessness to productiveness. When she’s not working as a “curl sculptor” at her hair salon in Englewood, Schmitt spends her time supporting her country in any way she can while working out the logistics of her mom’s relocation since she fled Ukraine shortly after Russia invaded — along with four million others.

Born and raised in Ukraine, Schmitt immigrated to the United States about seven years ago, after the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Her husband at the time (now ex-husband) was running from Russia, Schmitt said, and wanted to relocate somewhere else. “He realized there was no future [in Russia],” she explained. So they came to Colorado.

In November 2020, Schmitt opened Tame It Curl Haus, her very own studio space specifically for people with curly hair. Her plans to expand her business, including moving to a bigger space, came to a screeching halt when Russia started bombing Ukraine.

Instead, her priorities shifted to relocating her mom and her mom’s two dogs. Because the dogs didn’t meet the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s entry requirements, moving to Colorado wasn’t an option for Schmitt’s mom.

After fleeing Ukraine and travel-

ing for four days to Vienna, Austria — where she stayed for a short time — Schmitt’s mom made it safely to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where Schmitt will house her and her pets for the foreseeable future. Unlike the United States, Mexico doesn’t require health certificate documentation for dogs.

“Obviously we have to rent an apartment or something,” Schmitt said. “My husband and I will have to pay for that, because she doesn’t speak Spanish or English. That definitely wasn’t part of our expenses.”

“I’m hoping it’ll be safer for her,” Schmitt wrote in a text message from Mexico, where she recently traveled to find her mom an apartment and a translator.

Her mom might be out of harm’s way for now, but Schmitt is far from relieved.

“My country is [at] war and it’s definitely not easy,” she said.

Her younger sister is still in Donetsk, Ukraine which has been occupied by Russia for the last eight years. According to Schmitt, her sister is pro-Ukraine, but most of the people in that region support Russia. And because she resides in occupied territory, her passport status complicates her ability to travel freely.

“Basically when you turn 25, I believe, you have to change your passport. And because she is in occupied territory … nobody’s going to exchange her passport from Ukrainian to Ukrainian,” Schmitt said. In other words, her sister, who just turned 25, is forced to have a Russian passport.

“She’s scared and we’re scared,” she said, “because getting [a] Rus-

sian passport could mean that my mom and I will never be able to see her again. I don’t know.”

To cope with her situation, Schmitt said, her sister spends her time volunteering and collecting donations for Ukrainians who were forced to leave the country through the Russian Humanitarian Corridor, which are safe evacuation routes for civilians fleeing the country or groups providing aid.

But Schmitt worries daily about her sister’s safety. Just recently, reports from Ukraine said Russian forces have started using white phosphorus, “a controversial chemical substance that can cause severe and indiscriminate harm to civilians.”

For Schmitt, the home she left seven years ago will never be the same. She and her husband planned on visiting Ukraine this spring, the best time of the year according to Schmitt, after the pandemic limited travel. “Because I was waiting for my status here in the U.S., so I wasn’t able to leave for quite some time,” she explained.

“It’s just surreal. I don’t think I even realized it completely ... that I don’t have a country to go home to anymore, especially the part where I’m from … Now it’s just this mission to help the ones who are still there,” she said. Focusing on ways she can help takes her mind off of everything she has lost, Schmitt explained.

And after more than a month since initial bombing in Kyiv, Schmitt is worried that people will soon become desensitized to the war, especially once something else starts dominating the news cycle. “I just don’t want it to be just another news [story] people get in the morning,” she said, “‘Oh the crisis in Ukraine’ or whatever.”

State steps up to help launch careers in early childhood fields

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Joyful Rothe worked in a nursing home kitchen for 18 years before taking an entry-level job as an aide at a child care center. Shelby Wilson also wants a career working with young children, but for now handles the paperwork for her husband’s loghauling business.

The two women spend an hour every Monday evening in a second-floor classroom at Front Range Community College in Fort Collins, cars whizzing by outside as they learn how to talk to children about feelings, plan learning activities, and handle meltdowns. They are among hundreds of students across Colorado taking advantage of a new state program that pays for two introductory early

childhood courses — a stepping stone to teaching in the field.

The initiative, funded with $4 million in federal COVID aid, is part of a state effort to mint more early childhood teachers before the state’s universal preschool launch in 2023, and help the industry recover from staff shortages exacerbated by the pandemic. In addition to the free college classes, the state is funding apprenticeships, scholarships, training opportunities, mentoring programs, and translation and other support for people from underrepresented groups seeking early childhood careers.

The need for new preschool and child care teachers in Colorado is formidable. State officials estimate that more than 2,000 people — 10% of the workforce — left the field during the

last two years. They hope to add back more than 1,000 workers by June.

Melanie Gilbertson, who teaches the Monday night class, believes the free coursework has been instrumental in helping students earn qualifications they might not otherwise have been able to afford.

“You don’t make a lot of money in this field,” she said. “And so to ask somebody to go spend $6,000 on a couple of college courses just doesn’t seem right when they’re going to turn around and only make $15 an hour.”

HEALTH FROM PAGE 1

announcing plans in July 2020 to begin the process of withdrawing from the health agency after its decision to require mask wearing in public.

Some of Adams County’s leaders had felt frustration with TriCounty’s policymaking, too, but Adams’ message wasn’t against mask orders. Arapahoe has appeared reluctant to cut ties with the health agency, with officials in that county maintaining they had no choice but to move toward going solo after Douglas withdrew and after Adams announced it would also pull out.

Adams and Arapahoe counties are set to withdraw from Tri-County Health by the end of 2022, leaving the counties several months to navigate the task of creating their own health departments.

Arapahoe County’s future board of health — the policy-making body for the county’s upcoming health department — will be empaneled by this summer to help get the department started, according to the town hall’s presentation.

Local officials have floated the idea that Tri-County Health could live on in some form and continue to provide public health services to one or more counties after December 2022, but it’s unclear whether that will happen.

If nothing else, many of TriCounty Health’s employees may find jobs in the new county health departments.

“This whole situation of TriCounty Health and Douglas County leaving, then Adams County and us forming our own health (departments), has been weighing heavily on the minds of the Tri-County Health employees,” Arapahoe County Commissioner Jeff Baker said during the March 30 town hall.

Baker added: “We hope that Tri-County employees will consider bringing their expertise to us, to the Arapahoe County health department.”

Going solo Aside from the headline-grabbing public health orders — such as mask mandates — that the health agency has issued during the pandemic, Tri-County Health

has also provided no-cost cancer screenings, overdose prevention, free nurse visits, restaurant and child care facility inspections, and other services to its residents, according to an Arapahoe news release.

The creation of new public health departments appears likely to result in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties all having the independence to make their own decisions on public health orders and how to provide health services for residents.

An Arapahoe County spokesperson in early September said a separation by Arapahoe wouldn’t be driven by any policy disagreement with the health agency. Douglas County’s exit of Tri-County Health would potentially create financial or budgetary problems for the other two counties, the spokesperson, Luc Hatlestad, added.

And despite all three counties moving to leave Tri-County, one or more of them may continue receiving health services from TriCounty, even after 2022 — though it’s unclear how likely that result may be.

Arapahoe was the last of the three counties to provide notice that it will separate from Tri-County. The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners — the county’s elected leaders — voted to take the action in a Dec. 14 resolution.

The text of Arapahoe County’s resolution says: “One of the options being considered includes continuing the Tri-County Health Department as a legal entity in some form other than a multicounty district public health agency … so that it may continue to exist and continue to provide public health services to one or more counties after December 31,

2022.”

Asked whether Tri-County Health is considering whether to continue to exist in a different form, such as a nonprofit or other type of entity, to contract with any of the three counties for health services, Mindy Tappan, a spokesperson for Tri-County Health, said: “Not at this point, although we continue to explore various options moving forward.”

Hatlestad, the Arapahoe County spokesperson, said: “We’re open to contracting with any service provider that we determine can offer public health services effectively and affordably.”

Transition won’t come cheap To start their own public health agencies, Adams and Arapahoe could run into costs up to millions of dollars each, according to a report from a consulting firm that has studied the benefits and drawbacks of the counties’ decisions to handle public health services alone.

One part of the report points to “additional needed” revenue of $3.6 million in Arapahoe and $2.6 million in additional need in Adams.

For context, Adams County’s contribution to Tri-County Health’s 2021 budget was $3.8 million, Arapahoe County’s contribution was $4.8 million and Douglas County’s contribution was $2.6 million, according to Tri-County.

Asked whether raising taxes or budget cuts will be necessary to support a single-county health department, Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Jackson said in December that costs were unclear at the moment.

The transition to a new health department “will, of course, affect

the county’s budget, but we’re still determining the specifics about that,” Hatlestad said in early April.

It’s “important to differentiate one-time costs from ongoing/ operating expenses,” the county’s presentation said.

County leaders are looking at using “ARPA and fund balance” for one-time needs, the presentation said, appearing to refer to the federal American Rescue Plan Act. That’s the economic stimulus bill signed into law in March 2021 with a goal to support the economic and public health recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. “Fund balance,” generally, is a term for money a government has saved up over the years.

“In the short term, separate, single county public health agencies would have access to less public health revenue, and perhaps services, and would incur transition costs for start-up and (the) dissolution of TCHD,” the Oct. 12 report by the Otowi Group says.

That’s the consulting firm that has studied the benefits and drawbacks.

How expensive the transition could be depends in part on what a court has to say about an alleged $50 million fee Tri-County Health and the counties may owe to another government body if counties continue to pull out.

At issue is a payment that the health agency may eventually owe to the Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association, or PERA, which provides retirement and other benefits to employees of government agencies and public entities in Colorado.

A lawsuit by the retirement association was recently filed in Adams County District Court regarding the alleged payment owed.

Douglas County to see millions in road construction this year Biggest project is widening of stretch of Highway 85

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County commissioners received an update on March 29 on a number of road projects happening in the area to address growth.

Of the millions of dollars in construction planned, this year’s biggest project is widening Colorado Highway 85 from four lanes to six lanes from Highlands Ranch Parkway to C-470, which is expected to total around $105 million.

The cost of the project will be heavily shouldered by Douglas County, though the Denver Regional Council of Governments is contributing $26.2 million and the Colorado Department of Transportation is paying $7.6 million.

Construction has been delayed by the need to relocate a City of Englewood water line. Douglas County Project Manager Art Griffith said Englewood officials are negotiating a permit with the Army Corps of Engineers for moving the water line.

“It is essentially the last thing that prevents us from bidding the project,” Griffith said, adding he still hopes to bid the project in May. Another project that will consist of multiple phases and upgrades is the work identified on Lincoln Avenue from Park Meadows Drive to Oswego Street, known as Ad-

vancing Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree.

Griffith said project staff are currently evaluating six different options for the Havana Street intersection and 12 alternatives for the Interstate 25 interchange.

“There are 72 options on the table, so we’re going through the screenings and once we (finish screening), we’ll do detailed traffic analysis on the top four and move forward with one preferred alternative,” Griffith said.

Pre-construction work for Advancing Lincoln Avenue is slated to be finished this December in preparation for final designs, which are planned for 2023 or 2024.

Nearby in Lone Tree, the city and county are also partnering on a future Lone Tree mobility hub off I-25 near Sky Ridge. Griffith said the project aims to improve existing Bustang operations in the area.

Similar to the Lincoln Avenue work, project managers are in the process of choosing the best of three location options for the mobility hub, which will need bus stations on both sides of I-25.

For the $20 million hub, CDOT is putting up half of the funds, while the county and city hope to contribute $1 million each, with the remaining money coming from the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

“There’s a similar mobility hub concept at US 36 and McCaslin,” Griffith said. “So essentially you have parking and direct connections to the buses.”

Concrete is poured on Colorado Highway 85 between Louviers and Sedalia in March for a project to widen the highway from C-470 to Meadows Parkway. Douglas County is gearing up to start widening the portion of the highway from c470 to Highlands COURTESY COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Ranch Parkway.

In Parker, the town and county are working on extending Dransfeldt Road from the Twenty Mile Road intersection to connect with Motsenbocker Road, north of Salisbury Park. Final designs for the $18 million construction are expected this month with construction following next year.

“It helps provide a more resilient transportation network with less reliance on (Colorado Highway 83),” Griffith said.

Highway 83 will see its own updates this summer, with just under $700,000 to be spent improving

signage, striping and traffic signal modifications. Another $50 million in intersection improvements have been identified, but not all of the funding has been dedicated.

A roundabout is also in progress at the intersection of Highway 83 and Palmer Divide Road.

Douglas Forum Transportation plans to recommend that these projects, as well as the Crystal Valley Interchange, further widening on Highway 85 and a study of a portion of Colorado Highway 86, take priority in future CDOT planning at a meeting on April 6.

Pediatrician leads efforts in children’s health and development Local mom, doctor says there is much to be done

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For Dr. Sophia Meharena, the glass is always half full, which is meant to say there is still plenty to do in serving young patients, volunteering at her children’s school to promote social and emotional development and being an active leader in the region.

Meharena, a Centennial resident, recently participated in a leadership panel hosted by Arapahoe Community College. In wrapping up Women’s History Month, the college hosted an event featuring Meharena and two other female leaders on March 30.

Meharena said she enjoyed participating in the college event, adding that all the women were impressive and she enjoyed seeing a diverse crowd filled with female students and faculty.

Meharena was nominated to participate on the panel by Susan Hill, a volunteer at Cherry Creek’s Indian Ridge Elementary School in Centennial.

Hill said the theme for this year’s Women in History Month was “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope.” Hill said the college event, sponsored by the Inclusive Excellence Council and the Student Life Office, was held to highlight the women in the region who continue to make a positive impact on the community.

“I nominated Sophia to be one of the three honorees and a panelist because she is a perfect example of providing healing and promoting hope,” Hill said. “Her profession as a doctor and associate director of the pediatric resident program at (University of Colorado Hospital) provides healing to children and families.”

Community Learning Program In 2017, Meharena started the Indian Ridge Learning Community program at Indian Ridge.

The program’s focus is to promote

social emotional learning experiences for parents and children and, in collaboration with the school administration and staff.

Meharena started the program when her oldest child was in third grade. While her oldest is now in sixth grade, she has continued the program through classes with her younger children.

“I can say that Sophia’s leadership and passion for (social emotional learning) has created a community partnership between kids, families, and teachers of shared learning, collaboration, and exploration, as well as making space for important quality time together,” said Anji Hunt, the Indian Ridge school psychologist.

“She has helped our students build

necessary life skills and promote academic success. I am so grateful for her commitment and support of social and emotional growth for our community.”

Hill said through two years of volunteering with the learning program, she has seen Meharena’s commitment to building relationships within the school community and that she recognizes the importance of helping students develop social and emotional learning starting at a young age.

“Her leadership has provided opportunities for parents, grandparents and staff to work together to identify areas in which we can learn and grow as individuals, as families and as a community,” Hill said.

For Meharena, she goes back to the glass is half full, knowing that there still is more to do.

Maherena said her goal in starting the program in 2017 was to bring people together to promote healthy emotional development and to do it at a community level where parents and administrators are right there learning with the students.

“We all face uphill battles no matter what age we are,” she said.

“I think it is valuable to learn these skills together.”

Maherena said the program is aimed at watching the students grow and develop through third, fourth and fifth grades in elementary school.

Various workshops with themes have been held at the school over the last few years. Up until 2020, Maherena said they were able to host in-person workshops with parents and students several times a year.

Autopsies released in Franktown-area double murder case Results show victims had used drugs, sustained other injuries

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The autopsy results, recently released by the Douglas County Coroner’s office, show the victims in the double homicide in the Franktown area had bruising, shallow injuries and were shot by two different firearms.

The report shows both victims also had meth, alcohol and marijuana in their systems.

Jessica Mitchell, 32, and her boyfriend Bryan Gray, 34, were found dead in an unattached garage at their home on Russellville Road Feb. 8.

Casey Devol, Mitchell’s brother, was arrested Feb. 9 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Devol is still awaiting more legal proceedings that are scheduled for May 24.

As of Feb. 11, Sheriff Tony Spurlock said his office did not yet have a clear understanding of the motive in the case.

Gray had six gunshot wounds and Mitchell had three, according to the autopsy reports. Both had also been shot once with a shotgun, according to the report.

Both Gray and Mitchell also had bruises on them and “abrasions”

on their faces and bodies. Douglas County Coroner Jill Romann explained that an abrasion is considered a scratching of the surface of the skin. A skinned knee, for example, would be considered an abrasion.

Romann added that these abrasions likely occurred in the immediate period before Gray and Mitchell died.

It’s noted in Mitchell’s autopsy report that the abrasions on her arms show a pattern consistent with her being in a shielding position at the time.

An arrest affidavit for Devol revealed that Gray had been found with a plate of food on top of him.

Mitchell had a pry bar on top of her.

Mitchell was found with a “digital recorder device,” according to her autopsy report.

The manner of death for both cases is marked on the autopsies as homicide, which Romann said means the deaths were not caused by self-inflicted wounds and don’t appear to have been accidental.

In addition to the toxicology reports, notes were made in both autopsies that each had a history of methamphetamine use.

Devol was also charged with felony animal cruelty. Authorities said a dog named Cleo was found dead at the scene.

Devol’s affidavit said that responding deputies found the home to have been ransacked, with drawers throughout the home open.

Deputies also discovered security

footage for the home that showed someone entering the garage carrying “multiple handguns and a long gun.” After a tip from a friend of the family, investigators identified Devol as the person in the video.

Devol’s next court hearing is set for May 24 at 9 a.m.

The case has shocked the rural community of Franktown, with many people from the community commenting on the sheriff’s office’s social media accounts saying they are a friend of Devol’s and

surmising there must be more to the story.

“We’re getting the same information from witnesses and people interviewed that this kind of behavior would be out of character for the suspect,” Spurlock said.

Spurlock said none of the people involved, including both victims and Devol, had anything more than “minor law enforcement contacts” in the past. There also hadn’t been calls for service or for mental health concerns at their homes.

VOICES

CodeRed – YES

A

fter the Marshall Fire devastated our region there has been a lot of talk about what we can do to prepare. How can we as citizens protect ourselves and be ready if it were to happen to our town or county?

While fire officials have emphasized that the conditions that made the MarFROM THE shall Fire so catastrophic could EDITOR not have been helped, given the wind and heat, there are ways to better prepare citizens to safely evacuate and prevent fire officials from having to take extra time by knocking on doors and spreading the word on foot.

That system is CodeRed. From Douglas County to Arapahoe County to Jefferson County, leaders are stressing the need Thelma Grimes for more residents to get signed up for this emergency alert system, allowing state and local agencies to deliver geo-targeted, time-sensitive information to individuals who have signed up to receive alerts.

In the case of the Marshall Fire, the system allowed authorities to tell citizens who were signed up to evacuate. For those not on the emergency alert system, it required more time to find them and notify all of them.

The CodeRed system allows notifications to be sent via email, SMS, voice, mobile app push notifications, IPAWS and more depending on the severity of the situation. To learn more and see a video explaining the importance of this technology, visit onsolve.com.

In taking the steps myself, I found it is not an overly difficult process to get signed up. It took less than two minutes to enter a username, a password and fill in my address and the method I would like to receive the alerts. I chose texts since, like everyone, my phone is always with me.

On the OnSolve website, registration steps include: Use Google, Facebook or Twitter credentials to create an account for a quick log-in process.

Include multiple points of contact to ensure public safety officials will be able to reach you in an emergency. Opt-in to receive general notifications to receive community bulletins. Make sure you keep this information up to date, especially in the even to moving.

When a tragedy strikes so close to home, it is important to listen to the emergency response providers on what we can do at home to protect ourselves and assure efficiency in battling whatever the emergency may be.

Firefighters and local authorities will also stress that the more people signed up to get emergency alerts the better, because it will decrease their requirements to go door-to-door to notify residents of an impending disaster.

Their time is better used fighting the source of the emergency rather than notifying residents who could have been told immediately through the CodeRed system.

here were maybe 20 or so of us in the room.

We had gathered for a small regional business meeting a few years ago. We shared strategies, stories, and came up with new ideas and identified some things that we needed to change about our businesses. Whenever we would gather for a day or two, we would usually try and build in some exercises and activities to keep it fun and engaging.

We had someone come in to teach us strategy.

One of the exercises they used was trying to teach us and coach us on how to solve Rubik’s Cube. It generated a lot of laughs, some of us got it, some of us didn’t and some gave up trying.

Then the owner of the business who was hosting us brought in his two young sons, and they had learned how to solve it. They came around the room offering help. It was a bit humbling.

More of us got it, a few more didn’t, and well, even a few more gave up.

The world record for solving Rubik’s Cube is 3.47 seconds. Did you catch that? 3.47 seconds. The old record was 4.22 seconds. The key to solving a problem or a puzzle is to know the system and apply the process.

As I watch some of the cooking shows, I am always amazed at the dishes that are served in such a short time frame. Five-star quality dishes created and made in sometimes as quickly as 20 minutes. The winners know the process, they have a system. They are given the ingredients, but more often than not, they must use their knowledge to know just how much of each ingredient needs to be used and for exactly how long it should be cooked.

Professional caregiving with transferrable skills

I

like to refer to myself as a Professional Mom,” a friend told me.

Yuck, my eyes rolled so far back they almost got stuck in my throat. I hear this statement coming up more and more at church, at school and on the playground. I can’t help but get frustrated with some of the ways people try to redefine stay-at-home-moms, or SAHM, partially because I am one.

I get what they’re trying to do.

People often assume SAHMs don’t do much work … or anything at all. It’s my peeps trying to give us credit for the valuable way we spend our time.

But aren’t working moms professional moms too? Aren’t all dads, whether working, retired, unemployed or full-time caregivers, “professional dads”? My husband Ryan travels three nights out of the week. Yes, he doesn’t spend as much time with our kids as I do, but he is still their dad (and not just by birth). We talk about how the day went with the kids and decide, together, how best to deal with each situation. He sends video messages for them to watch when they wake up, he snuggles with them at night when he’s in town. He texts the kids’ phones throughout the day. He is as involved, just in a way that is unique to his/our situation.

NORTON FROM PAGE 14

the right process to anything that we do, we will always increase our chances for success.

Is there a process or system that you need to learn? Is there something that you are doing where you would like to make improvements?

How much time we spend with our children shouldn’t dictate our status as a parent or the quality of our parenting. SAHMs can be neglectful or attentive. Working moms can be toxic or healthy. Stay-athome-dads can be Stacey Carruth distant or involved.

Usually, we’re all of these things on any given day.

I’m convinced the only difference in the involvement of each type of parent is the amount of caregiving that happens. I take care of appointments, taxi driving, medications, nutrition, cooking, schedules, homework, etc.

It’s a lot, but it’s caregiving, not parenting.

As far as parenting goes, both of us mentor and both of us teach.

Both of us take time to connect with each kid each day. Both of us lead our family council. Both of us teach problem solving and conflict resolution skills. Both of us read and snuggle with them at night. Both of us worry and pray over them. Both of us model apologies and vulnerability. We are both professional parents, I just happen to also be a professional caregiver.

Constantly being around childish emotions has helped me hone the skill of dealing with adult temper tantrums without breaking a sweat. And finally, I can convince the most immature human to do something she/ he doesn’t want to do, all while keeping the house from burning down.

Today, I have no problem defending how my unique way of managing my four kids and two dogs are full of worthy, transferrable, soft skills for human resources or any other mid-level position.

But being a woman doesn’t give me the right to tell other women how to identify.

So with a spirit of humility, I say: I’m proud of you, Professional Mom, for finding the words to validate how you spend your time.

I support you and I salute you.

Just don’t be afraid to tout those transferrable, caregiving skills with confidence if your professional aspirations ever change.

OBITUARIES LEFLAR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reelect Pye, Barrett and Lawful As former South Suburban Parks & Recreation District board members, we join many others in asking district voters to reelect the three incumbents, Susan Pye, Pete Barrett and Dave Lawful, in the May 3 board of directors election.

These three have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in their first four-year term, showing unwavering dedication and tenacity in working with staff and residents over the past two pandemic years to guide South Suburban through mandated facility closures, program cancellations, and the resulting financial challenges.

Because of their efforts, the district is as strong as it has ever been in its 60-plus year history. They deserve our continued support and our votes!

You may vote in this election if you are a resident and/or property owner within the district boundaries: 1. At one of two polling locations on Tuesday, May 3 — Goodson Recreation Center or the new South Suburban Sports Complex on County Line Road.

But if our society didn’t look down so much on caregiving, maybe the term “professional caregiver” might start gaining some traction. When I tried to get into the HR profession a few years back, I used a resume consultant. As she tried to pry for more information, I was embarrassed that the only experience I could come up with had to do with managing a home and raising kids — because that was all I had time to do. Despite how proud I was of how I spent my time for the past 10 years, it showed up as a blank page on a resume.

This really bothered me until my neighbor taught me the term “transferrable skills.” It’s where you gain a skill from one industry that can be applied to a different one. In my case, I now see that managing a home makes me an excellent team player who’s willing to do the undesirable jobs (nothing is worse that cleaning up throw-up while you’re still throwing up).

My time spent discovering my son’s rare digestive disorder taught me to approach problems slowly, without jumping to conclu-

Hobby takes hold across Denver metro area and beyond

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

B

eekeeping has seen its popularity grow in many places across the country in recent years, and the Denver metro area is no exception.

From community gardens to backyard hives, more and more people are keeping honey bees and often selling the luscious, golden liquid reward that comes from this hip hobby.

Honey bees have become the main beneficiaries of the “save the bees” movement. According to researchers, there are around 25,000 different types of bees, but for obvious reasons, the honey bee is the most beneficial for hobbyists

to raise. Not native to North America, honey bees came to the continent with the earliest European immigrants.

In recent years, a cottage industry has sprung up around honey bees, with several fullservice shops in the Denver area offering nascent beekeepers with all of the supplies and advice they would need to start managing their own hives.

But first, new beekeepers might want to consult one of the many educational organizations that exist locally.

The Denver Bee and the Mile High Bee clubs provide support and education to the Front Range beekeeping community, and the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster offers a Beekeeping Bootcamp, a program with sessions running throughout the year. People can sign up for the whole series or attend individual classes.

Biologist Lorna McCallister manages the Butterfly Pavilion’s hives and serves as the

Beekeeping Bootcamp instructor. She said spreading out the course over five sessions allows her to guide students through the entire beekeeping process.

She said the pavilion also has five apiaries — collections of beehives — in community gardens across the metro area. They serve as great educational tools while also helping pollination around the Denver area. Beekeeping Bootcamp is certified through the Colorado Beekeepers Association, which McCallister said allows SEE BUZZ, P17

students who complete the course to become an apprentice beekeeper if they wish to take their hobby to the next level.

Those interested in the program still have time to join.

McCallister said the first class was archived, so catching up via video would be easy and the live bees used in upcoming courses won’t actually be delivered until the end of April.

“Beekeeping is really big in Colorado — especially around Denver,” McCallister said.

In fact, beekeeping has become so popular that some cities have gotten involved.

Susan Bennett is an environmental interpreter for the City of Wheat Ridge and resident bee expert at Happiness Gardens, a community resource that allows gardening enthusiasts to register for full- or half-sized plots to grow fruits, vegetables and flowers. As a “science nerd,” Bennett said she loves

practically everything about the buzzing insects.

Some conservationists have recently begun questioning whether the proliferation of honey bees might in fact be harmful to native bee populations that have to compete for resources with an ever-increasing honey bee population.

Bennett said there are many scientific papers on the subject, and she’s keeping an eye on them to see what is ultimately discovered. But for now, she thinks adhering to best practices can go a long way to benefitting all pollinators. She said if people are interested in bees, the best thing they can do is plant a native garden that includes plant varieties that will flower through as much of the season as possible.

“If you do something to support the honey bees, it’s probably going to support the native bees too,” Bennett said.

“Because the things that you’re going to be doing for honey bees — planting more plants that have a variety of blooming times, reducing your use of pesticides — those things are going to help all of the pollinators.”

She advises people to be aware of pests, such as the varroa destructor

mite, which can have a devastating effect on the honey bee population.

Another way to be a good steward of the ecosystem is to make sure diseases don’t transfer over to the native bee population.

For those who want to participate in the process of contributing to pollination and getting their own supply of honey without the work, fear not.

There’s a way to get in on the experience of owning a hive without risking the stings or undertaking the learning curve.

Best Bees is a company with professional beekeepers who will come to a person’s home or office, do the work for them to set up a hive and let them keep the honey. Noah Wilson-Rich founded the company while pursuing his doctorate in honey bee immunology, and Best Bees now operates in the Denver metro area as well as more than a dozen other cities across the U.S. The company employs more than 50 professional beekeepers who manage hives for corporate and residential clients.

Wilson-Rich said the colony collapse phenomenon that occurred around 2006 raised awareness about the plight

of bees.

“By having this beekeeping service that’s connected to research, we’re able to make maps of people’s home gardens, beehives and rooftop beehives in downtown Denver and Boulder and say ‘OK, where are hot spots for bee health?

Where are bees doing really well?’”

Wilson-Rich said. “And then ask, ‘why?

Why is that? What flowers are around there? What’s the pesticide use? What diseases are we seeing?’ So, it’s been a really fun approach. We call it citizen science.”

Wilson-Rich said the data his company collects is helpful in several ways.

One is connected to NASA’s Earth observation program that utilizes satellites aimed at Earth to collect information about things like weather patterns and land use. The partnership allows Best Bees to use that data to create maps that factor in things like climate change in relation to the health of their clients’ hive health.

Best Bees also recently launched The Urban Beekeeping Lab, a nonprofit that uses genomics — think 23andMe — to further its mission to improve bee health.

Young opera singers take home awards Denver Lyric Opera Guild holds annual vocal competition BYSONYAELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver Lyric Opera Guild members gathered for the monthly Opera on Tuesday meeting, April 5, at Columbine Country Club to hear 10 top finalists in the organization’s annual Competition for Colorado Singers.

DLOG’s mission is to elevate and support the power and beauty of the human voice, and the organization was founded in 1965 to support the local Lyric Theatre, which later became the Denver Lyric Opera Company.

When the opera company was forced to close by prohibitive costs, the guild focused on other programs to encourage young singers and gathered to listen and learn, enjoying the company of others with mutual interests. (New members are welcome — see the DLOG website.)

Over the years, the organization has not only supported young singers who are starting careers, but given grants to Colorado’s colleges and universities to

fund scholarships. The guild has been able to award $815,400 to competition winners over the years, growing from $5,150 the first year to $38,000 in 2022.

Preliminary competition this year included 30 young singers and was adjudicated by Jonathan Hayes, Eapen Leubner and Marcia Ragonetti, who

gave personal feedback to each one. Fifteen finalists competed for judges Sam Mungo, Leenya Rideout and Wei Wu. Many DLOG members contributed time and support to run the competitions and Kathy Van Arsdale, competition VP, served as emcee at the luncheon.

Soprano Lauren Bumgarner, 25, who is working on her master’s of music in vocal performance at Colorado State University, won first place, $10,000, the Galen and Ada Belle Spencer Foundation Award. She earned her bachelor’s of music in vocal performance at University of California-Santa Cruz.

Her proud mother was at her side for the concert and luncheon at Columbine.

Second place, $5,000, the Kenneth King Foundation Award, went to mezzo Kelly Riordan, 25, who is working on her master’s in vocal performance and pedagogy at University of Colorado, Boulder. She was recently awarded a Fulbright Grant to study in Vienna, Austria for the next academic year.

Third place, $4,500, the Myrle F. Hoffman Memorial Award, went to soprano Tessa McQueen, 24. A graduate of Oklahoma City University, she will sing with Central City Opera this summer and said she will attend Rice University in the fall.

Gabrielle Razafinjatovo, mezzo,

27, who placed fourth with the $4,000 Shirley and Marlis Smith Award, is a graduate student in voice and pedagogy at University of Colorado, Boulder. She graduated from Minot State University and performed with the Minot Symphony Orchestra.

The fifth place Gary and Gayle Landis Award, $3500, presented by Gayle Landis, went to mezzo Danielle Lombardi, 30, an Oberlin Conservatory graduate who has a master’s degree from Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music and has performed with Opera Colorado and elsewhere.

Christina Hazen, 27-year-old mezzo who took sixth place, the $3,000 Carole Johnson in Memory of Mary Wise Award, holds a bachelor of music from University of Northern Colorado, is an alumna of Houston Grand Opera’s Young Artists Vocal Academy and has an Artist Diploma from Cincinati College-Conservatory of Music. She will join Minnesota Opera as a Resident Artist for the 2022-2023 season.

Tenor Paul Wolf, 31, won the Beverly Ann Landis Memorial Award, $2500. He is working on a DMA at CU Boulder and has performed across the country.

Certificates of merit, $1,000, went to sopranos Courtney Caston, 26, Alice Del Simone, 29, and Catherine Swindle, 30.

nexpected duos are one of the keystones of storytelling — it goes back nearly as far as human history. And yet, somehow, we’re still finding ways to give powerful new spins on the trope.

Enter “Kinky COMING Boots,” featuring ATTRACTIONS a book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by legendary pop star Cyndi Lauper, which gives audiences the story of two people brought together out of the desire to make Clarke Reader something new and better.

Now that story is closing out the Arvada Center’s 2021-2022 season.

“The show is based on a true story with a lot of comedy as well as some drama,” said Tim Howard, one of the two leads in the production. “It’s about who you are, accepting who others are and the journey you have to take to find those truths.”

Directed by Rod A. Lansberry, “Kinky Boots” runs at the center’s Main Stage Theatre, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Sunday, April 24. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. Wednesday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The show tells the story of Charlie Price (Howard), a factory owner striving to keep his family shoe business afloat by finding a way to change up the product. Then he meets drag queen Lola (David Kaverman) — and the fabulous Angels — and discovers another approach to

the business.

“When I first heard about it, I just wanted to be a part of the show and I got my dream role,” Howard said.

“The cast is one of the best I’ve worked with. There’s no negativity — everyone is just really happy to be there and have the energy of performing again.”

Like so many actors who had to practice their craft via livestreams or recordings, Howard said the power of performing for an audience has never been more evident.

Getting the energy from the cheering — and dancing — crowd adds an extra level of meaning to every time they step on the stage, especially with a show as uplifting as this one.

“It feels good to say it’s okay to not know who you are right now — someone will accept you for who you are,” he said. “I think audiences will come away with a new perspective on life. If you had a rough day, that will all be in the past, which is how theater should be.”

Banksy strikes in Denver Figuring out who the mysterious artist Banksy is has become a recurring joke in pop culture for years.

Which is a fun game and all, but the reason for the joke is the power and variety of his work. And now fans can see some of that work in Denver.

The Art of Banksy features more than 100 works by the street artist and runs through Sunday, June 12 at the Denver Sports Castle, 1000 Broadway. Among the pieces attendees can see are “Flower Thrower,” “Rude Copper” and original variations of “Girl with Balloon,” which was shredded at auction in 2018. According to provided information, the exhibit “is not authorized or curated in collaboration with the artist, but rather sourced from private collections allowing the public to see works that would otherwise stay hidden in private homes or warehouses.”

Advocates want to create a statewide recycling program And charge companies to do it

BY MICHAEL BOOTH AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

State Sen. Kevin Priola had his recycling epiphany while staring at an empty pizza box.

The grease stains on the lid spelled it out for the Henderson Republican: Colorado recycles only about 15% of its waste because recycling is too hard. Even a dedicated recycler like Priola was surprised to learn that cardboard with food stains is not welcome in the paper bin.

He’s learned to rip the postpepperoni top off the pizza box and recycle the rest. And Priola’s doubled down on recycling by being a co-prime sponsor on one of the most ambitious recent attempts at improving Colorado’s abysmal recycling rates.

Priola and two Democrats are leading the “Producers Responsibility” bill in the legislature, which would require the companies whose brand is on the packaging to charge themselves a fee to fund improved local recycling services across Colorado.

Cities or counties without their own recycling services could take the fees to start up a program.

Places like Denver or Boulder who run or contract for extensive recycling could use the fees to expand — many apartment dwellers don’t get recycling services, for example.

Or they could turn recycling programs over to nonprofits and private companies likely to enter the market.

Giving recycling access to all Colorado consumers and making the sort-and-return systems easier to use would cut deeply into trash across the state, Priola said.

“If you can get 60, 70, 80% of the people to start doing the right thing, that’ll mean less resources being wasted. Less water being wasted. Less air pollution. A more vibrant local economy,” he said.

One reason a Republican like Priola got on board was the effort to be business-friendly: Recycling advocates say a steadier stream of packaging materials like aluminum, glass and cardboard will eventually ease the supply chain woes and inflation plaguing many American companies.

Also, the businesses creating and delivering packaging are in charge of the proposed program. House Bill 1355 would create an industry council to study how much money is needed for a statewide recycling

plan and would let the council set the rates needed to raise that money.

“So many of these businesses are getting hit with real disruptions in their ability to get materials, which is directly connected to the fact that we’re throwing so many materials away,” said Kate Bailey, research and policy director at the nonprofit recycler Eco-Cycle.

Businesses who use lots of packaging have gone along with similar programs in Canada and a couple of U.S. states, Bailey said, proving a comprehensive, producer-funded system can work. Businesses with less than $5 million in revenue will be exempt. And closer to home, Bailey said, putting all paint recycling in Colorado under a similar dues-funded nonprofit called Paint Care has increased paint recycling while saving local governments money.

It’s possible the bill is a nohoper this late in a session already crammed with complex issues like how to refund surplus revenue to taxpayers and how to regulate toxic emissions. Advocates, including cities such as Westminster and nonprofits like Eco-Cycle and ON AVERAGE, AARP MEMBERS ENJOY

CoPIRG, expect mofd opposition from small to medium businesses worried about costs and bureaucracy than from giants like CocaCola and Molson Coors.

And Gov. Jared Polis has been wary of increasing costs for Colorado residents and businesses given recent inflation pressure.

“It will not be a noticeable price increase to consumers,” Priola said in introducing the bill, along with co-prime sponsors Rep. Lisa Cutter, D-Morrison, and Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver. Advocates say the dues usually amount to fractions of a penny for each package and result in steep increases in recycling.

Bailey said average dues in similar Canadian programs are three cents per pound for aluminum cans, with a pound of aluminum making about 30 cans in a pound.

Hearings starting April 7 are likely to be packed with both supporters and business representatives concerned about the potential requirements.

Local governments also plan to raise voices on the bill, many of them in support of a more robust state recycling effort.

“In Clear Creek County and other rural parts of the state, higher costs for recycling services and transportation are forcing hard decisions,” said George Marlin, a Clear Creek County Commissioner and president of Colorado Communities for Climate Action.

“Why should communities have to choose between housing, childcare and recycling, when so much of the business community wants to be part of the solution?”

The bill “makes recycling as easy to access as trash pickup,” said Jefferson County Commissioner Andy Kerr. Including those who produce and deliver the packaging, he said, ties the cost of recycling back to the original materials. “My constituents across the county want to have good recycling options.”

Survivors speak about recovering from mass shooting Special panel answers questions in Lone Tree

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Speaking to a panel of survivors and loved ones of mass shootings, former STEM School Highlands Ranch teacher Erin Christian told them she was grateful for their strength and candor.

“In the early days, I didn’t see how I was going to get through this,” she said. “To hear from you guys that there’s this other side is so powerful for me.”

Hosted by the STEM Center for Strength, the panel on April 1 focused on recovering from trauma with speakers sharing their individual journeys of healing from mass violence. It featured Columbine survivors Frank DeAngelis, the former principal, former teacher Paula Reed and graduate Michelle Wheeler; two family members of victims in the Aurora Theatre shooting, Tom Sullivan and Heather Dearman; Amber Brown, a survivor of the Las Vegas Route 91 shooting; and Carley Posey, a mother of survivors of the Sandy Hook shooting.

Emphasizing that recovery looks unique for every person and doesn’t follow any set timeline or logic, panelists answered a series of questions at the Lone Tree facility from moderator Kyle Dyer about what they had learned about process-

ing trauma and what other people should know.

“One of the hardest parts is understanding that who you were before is gone and you’ll never be that self again,” Reed, the former Columbine teacher, said. “But none of us are who we were yesterday, and you’re not supposed to be. You’re not supposed to go back, so no matter where you are on your journey, you are you.”

Though each individual healing process was different, the panelists highlighted a variety of resources that helped them, including therapy, medication and yoga and exercise.

D’Angelis said he still has his counselor on speed dial.

“It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength,” he said.

Posey likened trauma to a physical wound, in that it’s important to get help and no one should feel ashamed for that, including loved ones or community members who were impacted as well.

“We can’t compare trauma in these events,” Posey said. “Trauma can’t be leveled.”

During her healing process, Wheeler said she was initially worried that if she moved on then she would be leaving behind her classmates who died that day.

“Moving on after trauma does not mean you forget,” Wheeler said. “I carry those 13 with me everyday.

But I learned how to live, so I live for those 13.”

as Wheeler put it, the support from other survivors and loved ones is bolstering.

Reed agreed and noted that one of the most crucial things she can do is be an example for others.

“The most important thing that I do when I (go to other schools that have experienced mass violence) is stand in front of them looking normal, promising them that someday normal comes back to you,” she said.

Looking forward, the panelists encouraged the STEM Center and others to provide mental health support through the long-term so that people can continue to access it as they need it.

“That need is not going to stop,” Brown said.

Democrats plan to reduce paid family leave fees for 6 months Polis, state party face election-year pressure

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

One of the most expensive proposals from Gov. Jared Polis and Democrats in the Colorado legislature this year aimed at driving down the cost of living involves the state’s new paid family leave program.

But the business community, which would benefit from the effort, says the amount of relief is so small and so short-lived that it won’t have a measurable effect.

House Bill 1305 would, for six months, reduce the fee split between employers and employees that the state will charge starting next year as part of Colorado’s new, voterapproved paid family and parental leave program.

The reduction would drop the fee rate to 0.81% of an employees’ wages from 0.9%, a decrease of 0.09 percentage points. For a worker making $4,000 a month, that would drop the fee to $32.40 from $36 a month. Employers pay half the fee; employees pay the other half.

Business groups say the change won’t really make a difference for them or their employees — “It’s really a pittance,” said Tony Gagliardi, who leads the Colorado branch of the National Federation of Independent Businesses — though nonpartisan fiscal analysts say the reduction would cost the state $57.5 million to backfill the lost revenue.

Polis and Democrats, who are facing election-year pressure over the rising cost of living, have set aside $157 million in the fiscal year 2022-23 budget, which begins July 1, for government fee relief. The money will also go toward delaying the start of a new 2-cent-per-gallon gas fee and reducing medical licensure and certification fees.

Polis and House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver, celebrated the fee-reduction efforts in their speeches kicking off the 2022 lawmaking session. Both said that cutting costs for Coloradans is a priority for them this year.

“The governor wants to provide the maximum support possible under state law to benefit small busi-

nesses and hardworking Coloradans,” spokesman Conor Cahill said in a written statement.

But Republicans have criticized the efforts as being too small to make a difference. (The $157 million, divided among the state’s 5.8 million residents, comes out to about $27 per person.) The GOP has also pointed out that Democrats are offering relief from fees they implemented.

“I’ve lost track of the number of fee increases the majority Democrats have passed,” said Rep. Kevin Van Winkle, a Highlands Ranch Republican. “And now they come here today and say that they’re offering fee relief? It’s absurd.”

Democrats acknowledge that the fee relief package is not a silver bullet. Senate President Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, said affordability issues and inflation are “much larger than just what the state legislature can solve.”

“We’re thinking about what is within our control as a legislature and where do we have the ability to provide some relief,” he said. “We’re not going to be able to change everything for every family, but there are things that are within our control.

It’s not going to be life-changing for people, but people need relief wherever they can (get) it, and we think these are the areas where the state can afford to bear that burden.”

The governor’s office said the paid family and parental leave fee relief was limited in scope as to not run afoul of a state law requiring that no more than 10% of an enterprise’s funds may come from the general fund. The paid leave program is set up as an enterprise.

The legislature is also set to allocate at least $600 million to buy down the $1 billion debt owed to the federal government through Colorado’s unemployment insurance trust fund, which was drained during the pandemic. Businesses and employers would otherwise be responsible for covering the deficit through a paycheck surcharge.

A bill allocating money to buy down the unemployment trust fund debt has yet to be introduced.

The legislature’s Joint Budget Committee also set aside $200 million for a forthcoming property tax relief effort. Lawmakers aren’t sure what that will look like yet — or whether it will happen. Conversa-

tions around property tax relief are heating up after the full legislature began debating the budget last week.

Critics of the scope of the relief package say if lawmakers really wanted to help businesses and Coloradans contend with rising costs they would delay the implementation of the new paid family and parental leave program and the new transportation fees.

“There are inherent problems that come with adopting governmentrun programs that are responsive to mandates rather than economic realities, we are beginning to see these problems surface,” said Mike Kopp, president and CEO of Colorado Concern, an alliance of business leaders.

But Democrats argue that isn’t unfeasible.

“We can’t miss our climate goals,” said Sen. Faith Winter, a Westminster Democrat who championed the policies implementing new transportation and paid family and parental leave fees. “We can’t delay that. We can’t delay paid family leave because that means another year of people making a decision between a paycheck and taking care of themselves when they’re facing cancer.”

Budget debate at the Capitol continued last week.

Judge rules in Littleton’s favor Evergreen loses development lawsuit

BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A developer that sought to overturn a decision by Littleton’s city council to not pursue a rezoning plan for its mixed-use development lost its case after an Arapahoe County judge ruled in the council’s favor.

The controversy stems from a planned development at the southwest corner of Mineral Avenue and Santa Fe Drive proposed by developer Evergreen Devco.

The plan for the 33-acre site called for 270 multi-family residential units, a 170-bed senior housing facility, two restaurants, three “quick service” restaurants, three shops and a gas station.

But a majority of city council members, for a multitude of reasons that included a lack of affordable housing, encroachment on neighboring open space and murkiness around parking in one of the city’s busiest intersections, voted against the rezoning proposal during a May 4, 2021 meeting.

On May 31, Evergreen filed a lawsuit in district court sueing the city and its council, and wrote that “there was no competent evidence in the record supporting council’s reasons for denial” of the rezoning application.

Trials in Douglas, Arapahoe and Elbert counties have been suspended due to an increase in COVID cases.

The lawsuit points to several council members comments during the May 4 meeting that the developer argued were unfair reasons for the plan’s denial, including the Mayor Pro Tem’s remark that he does not want to see “just another strip mall development.”

The lawsuit lists several ways the developer believes the plans would have adhered to the city’s code and improved the quality of life and said council members acted “irrationally and arbitrarily” when they voted the proposal down.

District Court Judge Frederick T. Martinez, in a March 7 ruling, wrote that “there is some evidence in the record to support the city council’s determination that the proposed use of the property failed to meet at least one of the requisite criteria and was not consistent with the overall best interests of the city.”

Council members’ reasons for coming out against the project were justified, according to Martinez’s ruling, such as the lack of commitment to including some affordable or attainable housing in the develop-

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

ment.

Evergreen managing partner Tyler Carlson, according to the lawsuit, had told council he wished the plans were able to “have an affordable component to senior or otherwise, but we don’t have those economics with this site in particular that allow us to do that.”

This is “contrary to the language of ... the code that intends ‘to meet the growing demands for housing of all types and designs for persons of any social or economic status,’” according to Martinez’s ruling.

Diana DeGette and other lawmakers grill oil executives

BY CAITLYN KIM COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

In Washington, it was a contentious time on Capitol Hill April 6, as six oil and gas executives faced questions from lawmakers about the high cost of gasoline.

Democrats focused on the fact companies are making record profits, while Republicans took aim at President Joe Biden’s energy policies.

Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette chairs the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s oversight panel, which held the hearing. She said high gas prices are constraining “constituents’ budgets and their patience.”

As she spoke, DeGette displayed a chart behind her showing the price of crude oil going up and down, even as the price of gas has risen and stayed high, despite crude prices starting to drop.

“If the price of gas is driven by the global market, why is the price of oil coming down but the price at the pump is still near record highs? If it’s an issue of supply and demand, wouldn’t that be reflected in the global price of oil as well?”

DeGette asked. “Something doesn’t add up.”

Oil executives and Democrats, including DeGette, spar over the reason why prices are so high The oil executives argued it’s not as simple as comparing global prices on any given day to gas station prices.

“Oil that’s entering a refinery could have been purchased at a higher price, and therefore that price then flows through all the way to the station. It’s not necessarily an instantaneous market,” explained David Lawler, head of BP America.

Chevron CEO Michael Wirth added, “these things do correlate over the long term but in the short term, they don’t always go up and down.”

But many Democrats questioned whether companies are giving the full picture about the ongoing high prices.

“While I understand that you simply cannot flip the switch or turn on the spigot, you must be honest

about the main reason that some companies are choosing to ramp up production slowly,” said Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell. “A survey of oil company executives by the Dallas Federal Reserve found that nearly 60 percent of oil companies are restraining growth because of investor pressure.”

The oil executives did acknowledge that their companies earned billions last year, after losing billions in 2020 when the pandemic tanked demand. And many of the CEOs said they would not stop paying stock dividends or pursuing buybacks this year.

They also pushed back on the accusation of price gouging, noting many of the companies did not own the gas stations.

“I want to be absolutely clear: We do not control the market price of crude oil or natural gas, nor of

refined products like gasoline and diesel fuel, and we have no tolerance for price gouging,” Wirth said during his opening remarks.

Meanwhile, Republicans try to take advantage of what they see as midterm elections talking point Republicans dismissed this line of questioning from Democrats. Ranking member Rep. Morgan Griffith used part of his time to ask if oil companies were taking advantage of the situation in Ukraine to keep prices artificially high. The oil executives all said no.

Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Cathy McMorris Rodgers described the hearing as “a distraction.”

“Today is purely political. President Biden needs cover for his war on American energy,” she said in her opening statement.

Republicans also see a political advantage in energy prices, believing it’s an issue that could hurt Democrats entering the midterm elections. They used their time to talk about the Biden Administration’s moratorium on new drilling leases on federal lands and regulations they claim impede production.

“Does this whole mountain of red tape by President [Biden] make it harder for you to produce more energy in America?” Rep. Steve Scalise asked.

Most of the oil executives said yes.

Republicans also criticized Democrats’ focus on expanding America’s supply of green energy, arguing it has resulted in less investment in fossil fuel production.

DeGette said this debate around more drilling and more lease sales indicates to her that the country needs a long-term energy plan.

“The things that Republicans were suggesting — more permitting, more pipelines, “drill, baby drill” — the executives told me when I talked to them before the

hearing today, there is no switch to flip. It’s not like any of those things would help us get more supply today,” she said.

She said the people who could were the executives testifying and they “refused to say what they would do.”

Executives maintain that gas prices are complex, but DeGette argues they could take a cut in profits to reduce prices If there was a theme that the oil executives tried to emphasize — when they got a chance to answer more than a yes or no during the questioning — it was that gas pricing is complex.

“Demand has recovered and is now surpassing pre-pandemic levels for many transportation fuels,” Chevron President Gretchen Watkins noted in her written testimony.

“But refinery throughput has not yet caught up with the post-pandemic surge in demand. The loss of Russian supply from the global market has only added pressure on an already strained refining industry that has yet to fully catch up with increasing demand.”

There have been a number of proposals on both sides of the aisle floated to help reduce the price of oil, from a windfall tax for these producers to a gas tax holiday to easing the regulatory burden.

DeGette asked the executives to go back to their boards and see what they could do to reduce prices at the pumps now, even if it meant a smaller profit for them.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last week that her caucus wanted to wait and hear what the oil executives had to say before moving forward on any legislation.

Colorado business leaders lose optimism about economy

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

No surprise here. Global unrest with the Russian invasion of Ukraine plus ongoing and rising inflation have Colorado business leaders less optimistic about the economy this year than last, according to a new survey.

But has that changed how they’re going about their business?

According to a new analysis by Leeds Business Confidence Index, 55% of the 195 local business leaders surveyed said they expect to raise wages while just 8% plan to reduce staff and 1% plan to cut hours.

Nearly half, or 46%, will increase prices or pass costs to consumers because of inflation.

“They’re pessimistic about the (economic) backdrop,” said Rich Wobbekind, senior economist and faculty director of the Leeds Business Research Division at the University of Colorado. “But in their own responses, they’re saying in the next three and six months, we’re going to hire more people, we’re going to invest in more capital. So, they’re still in expansion mode even though they’re concerned about the broader economy.”

Inflation in Colorado, by the way, is projected to increase 7.3% this year and slow to 2.8% next year.

The index measures business leaders’ optimism and above 50 is considered positive. And while most categories are still above 50, including how leaders feel about Colorado’s economy, concerns with global events and inflation caused the Leeds index to fall to 40.4 for the national economy for second quarter 2022.

Brian Lewandowski, the division’s executive director, said that business leaders tend to be more optimistic about the state’s economy than the nation’s. It’s because they live here and work here, so what’s happening outside the state isn’t as tangible.

“The one thing I would add,” he said, is “the expectation of inflation is almost as bad as actual inflation.

And I sort of wonder if the same is true when looking at business confidence. So, it’s still positive right now, which is a good signal. But if business leaders signal pessimism about the future, if they expect the future to be worse than it is today, then that could have impacts on how they invest and how they hire and how they try and expand their business. So that’s a concern when it drops below 50.”

Colorado hotel workers had highest rate of job quitters Colorado workers may finally be

finding the jobs they want — or at least employers are doing their best to retain them — as the national rate of job quitters fell in March and leveled off in Colorado, according to new data from Gusto, a payroll and benefits services company with coheadquarters in Denver.

Colorado’s quit rate in March was at 3.01%, down from 3.03% in February, and nearly half the August high of 5.04%. The national average was 2.85% in March, down from 3.09% in February and 4.94% in August.

But something else is going on in accommodations, which is essentially the hotel industry. That part of the economy had a 10% quit rate in March, according to Gusto, which can analyze its own customer data to see trends before the national report comes out. Other service industries — including retail and food and beverage — also saw rates higher than Colorado’s overall quit rate of 3.01%, and the U.S. rate of 2.85%.

Gusto’s lead economist Luke Pardue theorizes this type of worker can find another job pretty easily these days. Companies from Amazon to United Airlines are all looking for workers who, at minimum, are pleasant to customers and show up on time.

“These industries where we’re seeing the highest quit rates, we’re also seeing the highest hiring rates,” Pardue said. “This is a sign that workers are really switching jobs within industries for higher pay, for better conditions or better benefits.”

However, he added, “A 10% quit rate in accommodations is not something we have seen (since) quit rates hit 10% in August of 2021, as many workers left seasonal positions as the summer ended. Also, a 10% quit rate is not something we have seen in other sub sectors recently.”

As hotels prepare for warmer weather and more visitors, they are again competing with one another as well as the rest of the hospitality, travel and restaurant industries that are also ramping up for what they’re hoping to be a more fortuitous season.

The cost of benefits Scanning the help-wanted ads, it’s difficult to find hotel work without some sort of incentive beyond a paycheck.

The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel offers a $1,000 sign-on bonus to experienced cooks (the gig pays $22 an hour and includes health and retirement plans). Springhill Suites in Denver offered medical and retirement benefits, an RTD pass and a $750 hiring bonus for a room attendant (though that job appears to be filled).

In a quarterly survey of 195 Colorado business leaders, the Leeds Business Confidence Index recorded optimism is dropping about how the state and nation’s economy will fare in the next few months.

A rating below 50 means the outlook is much more pesCOURTESY simistic.

OF LEEDS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER

The key here may be to offer benefits in the first place. And they might not be as much as an employer assumes. According to Gallup polling data, replacing a worker costs one half to twice the ex-worker’s salary.

Pardue calculated the cost of replacing versus offering retirement benefits, based on Gusto and Bureau of Labor Statistics data: 1. Retirement benefits reduced quit rates by 1.3 percentage points, or 15.6% for 12 months.

2. A company with 25 workers and 15.6% lower quit rate loses 3.9 fewer workers per year.

3. At an annual salary of $30,000, those 3.9 jobs cost, conservatively, $58,500 to replace.

4. BLS estimates that retirement benefits cost an employer 3.5% of a worker’s salary. For 25 employees, that’s $26,250 a year.

So, that’s paying out $26,250 a year versus $58,500.

“On our back-of-the-envelope calculation, the return is more than double the cost of a retirement plan.

So, one thing that they actually can do is offer these low-cost or no-cost benefits that aren’t necessarily as expensive as, say, health insurance but have the benefits of retaining and attracting talent,” he said.

“Offering, say, retirement benefits might seem like an upfront cost but it has these returns that more than pay for themselves.” After writing about unemployment, jobs and Colorado’s pandemic economy for two years, I finally got a chance to stop by a real, live job fair. Those in-person career events are not completely

back, but at the invitation of United Airlines, I stopped by its event at the United Club at Empower Field at Mile High stadium on Tuesday.

The airline has been desperate for workers, and I’ve mentioned how they’ve tweaked their benefits in past columns, including bonuses of up to $10,000 and rolling out new starting wages of $19.64 an hour for baggage handlers and customer service representatives.

By the end of the day, 970 people stopped by for the event and 350 left with a job offer, United spokesman Russell Carlton told me. Of those offers, he said, “more than 200 were for customer service, a little more than 100 were for ramp agents and more than 20 for roles within our technical operations division.”

United plans to hire another 3,000 workers by 2026, but it’s not just to get back to its pre-pandemic levels.

It’s about major expansion going on in Denver. The company is committed to adding another 200 daily flights and 20 more gates at Denver International Airport.

Douglas County beats Brighton 4-3 Sharp’s grounder seals the victory in the 7th

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County’s Finley Bates at the plate. Bates had a double in the Douglas County’s 4-3 win over PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON Brighton on April 5.

Conner Sharp’s walk-off hit was unusal but it got to job done.

It wasn’t a screaming liner or a hit that bounced off the outfield fence. Instead, it was a high bouncng grounder that went for an infield hit and drove home Cooper Latino with the winning run in Douglas County’s 4-3 win over Brighton April 5.

Douglas County was down 3-2 heading into a bottom of the seventh and used two singles and two hit by ptich walks to tie the game.

Sharp came to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded.

“I was looking for the best pitch to go get a hit,” said Sharp. “I knew if I made contact with the ball, I’d have to run as fast as I could and that’s what I did.

I didn’t know if I could make it to first after I hit the ball but I ran there as fast as I have run.”

Douglas County, the fifth ranked team in the April 4 CHSAANow.com poll, scored both runs in the seventh inning with two outs and improved its season record to 8-1.

“We had the top of our lineup coming up in the seventh,” said Douglas County Coach Craig Gienger. “We

missed a few pitches but in the end we put the ball in play and good things happened for us.

“A walk off infield hit you don’t see very often but it worked out for us.”

Douglas County outhit the Bulldogs, 10-9, with senior Tyler Stonebraker going 3-for-4 with a stolen base to lead the Huskies.

Latino had two hits and Tucker Moore, normally a catcher, pitched six innings, giving up three runs, six hits and striking out eight batters.

Valor defeats Creek in big matchup Midfielders control outcome

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian’s Kaley Kakac scored one goal, but she and teammates Rachel Pallo and Eliza Osburn made a big difference in a Top 5 game against Cherry Creek on April 9.

Valor, ranked second in the CHSAANow.com state poll, put together a surge in the second half, defeating No. 3 Cherry Creek, 19-16 in a game played at the Valor Christian field.

The Eagles improved to 5-2 on the season while Creek suffered its second loss in six games.

Kakac, a junior midfield-

er, took all the draws for Valor and won a majority of them to help the Eagles keep possession of the ball.

“I felt like I did good on the draws and stepped up to try to help our team by getting the ball and getting possession,” said Kakac. “You have to work with your teammates in the circle and be able to communicate with them about what’s going on and getting the ball. On a draw you just try to push it (the ball) to yourself or push it to a teammate in the circle or get it to a spot where your team can get the ball.”

Kakac has a .681 draw percentage for the season and 112 draw controls in SEE LACROSSE, P29

seven games.

Both Valor Christian coach Terry Ellis and Cherry Creek mentor Bailey Zerr Tremaroli felt Kakac and her midfield teammates played a key role in the outcome of the game.

“Our midfielders, Rachel Palllo, Eliza Osburn and Kaley Kakac turned it on the second half, and they knew if we had possession of the ball we’d have a good chance of winning,” Ellis said.

“Draws are important especially at this level because there is no shot clock. So, whoever controls the draws can basically control the game. I give credit to those three because they are the main draw team. If they win the draw, we have possession and can score.

It is the most important thing in lacrosse, having possession of the ball and winning draws.”

Tremaroli agreed “I’m really proud of our girls,” the Creek coach said. “I thought we fought from the first whistle until the last whistle. Valor is a great team. “Draws are very important, and Valor is good at winning the draws. So that was a big challenge that we had to overcome. Sometimes we did it

and sometimes we didn’t, and I think that’s probably what the game came to was their ability to control the draws.”

Junior Reagan Digby had five goals and two assists for seven points to pace the Eagles. Eliza Osburn had four goals and three assists for seven points. Courntey Kakac and Amanda Stevens also had four goals for Valor.

Molly Threlkeld and Lilly Assini each had three goals for the Bruins.

Latino came on in relief and got the save.

“We struggled a little defensively against Brighton (two errors) but we are very reslient,” saidnGienger. “That’s what I’ve seen a few times and that’s good to see early in the year. It’s been a great start to the season. We’ll take it one at a time and see what happens.”

Sharp, a senior first baseman, is optimistic about the remainder of the season.

“We have to keep swinging the bats and keep working working,” he said. “Our pitchers are doing great so if we keep swinging the bats we’ll be there.”

ACWWA will use the Subject Water Right, after storage, as follows: 3.10.1. Use in ACWWA’s Plans for Augmentation. ACWWA will use the Subject Water Right as a source of replacement water in the ACWWA Augmentation Plan decreed in Case No. 10CW306 (“306 Decree”) to replace depletions from pumping of water from the ACWWA/East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District (“ECCV”) Well Field for delivery to ACWWA’s service area. ACWWA will also use the Subject Water Right as a source of replacement water pursuant to the ACWWA 70 Ranch Augmentation Plan in the 306 Decree. The Subject Water Right was added as an additional source of replacement water in Case No. 10CW306 on June 29, 2018.

Use of the Subject Water Right in the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 13CW3026 and in other augmentation plans if such use is approved in a separate Water Court decree or SWSP approved by the State Engineer pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-308(4), or successor statute, will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 3195 Decree. 3.10.2. Use in ACWWA’s Recharge Projects.

Storage of excess recharge accretion credits by ACWWA in any reservoir available to ACWWA will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 3195 Decree. In addition, the 3195 Decree allows ACWWA to deliver the Subject Water Right to the recharge sites described therein, and any existing or future recharge facility to which ACWWA is legally permitted to recharge water, including use in an aquifer storage and recovery (“ASR”) project and/ or an aquifer recharge and recovery (“ARR”) project pursuant to a subsequent decree authorizing the recharge of the Subject Water Right in such facility and for ASR and/or ARR uses, so long as the Subject Water Right is listed as a source of recharge water in that decree. 3.10.3. Use in ACWWA’s Exchanges. ACWWA will use the Subject Water Right as a source of substitute supply for the substitution and exchange decreed in Case No. 09CW283 and any subsequent decrees authorizing the use of the Subject Water Right as a substitute supply for exchange. In addition, pursuant to the 3195 Decree, ACWWA may use the Subject Water Right, including excess recharge accretions generated by the Subject Water Right that have accrued to the Beebe Seep Canal, as sources of substitute supply in the 2016 Exchanges and the 2017 Greeley Canal No. 2 Headgate Exchange decreed therein, and any future exchange operated or decreed by ACWWA. 3.10.4. All Municipal Uses. Water stored in Milliken Reservoir under the Subject Water Right may be delivered directly to ECCV’s surface water treatment plant located in the Beebe Draw for treatment and subsequent direct delivery for all municipal uses, including but not limited to, domestic, mechanical, manufacturing, commercial, and industrial uses within ACWWA’s service area, as it exists now or may exist in the future. 3.10.5.

Places of Storage. Pursuant to the 3195 Decree, ACWWA may store the Subject Water Right in the following surface storage structures for use as a source of augmentation, replacement, recharge, or substitute supply: 3.10.5.1. 70 Ranch Reservoir, a lined off-channel reservoir to be located in the S1/2 of Section 3, Township 4 North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, and a portion of the NE1/4 of Section 10, Township 4 North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. 3.10.5.2. United Reservoir No. 3, an off-channel reservoir located on the East side of the South Platte River, in the S1/2 of Section 26 and the N1/2 of Section 35, Township 1 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 3.10.5.3. Barr Lake, an offchannel reservoir located in Sections 15, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, and 33, Township 1 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado.

Barr Lake is an enlargement of the original Oasis Reservoir. 3.10.5.4. Binder Reservoir, an offchannel reservoir located in the N1/2 of Section 15, Township 1 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. 3.10.5.5. Serfer Pit, an off-channel reservoir located in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 24, Township 6 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Larimer County, Colorado. 3.10.5.6. Holton Lake, an off-channel reservoir located in portions of the SE1/4 of the SW1/4, the SW1/4 of the SW1/4, and the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 6, and the NE1/4 of the NW1/4, the NW1/4 of the NW1/4, and the NW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 7, Township 1 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. 3.10.5.7. Other Storage Facilities. Any future storage facility to which ACWWA is legally permitted to store water pursuant to a subsequent Water Court decree approving storage of the Subject Water Right in that storage facility. 3.10.6.

Right of Reuse and Successive Use. The use of the Subject Water Right to replace depletions from ACWWA’s pumping of water from the Beebe Draw alluvial aquifer through the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field for municipal uses in ACWWA’s present and future service area results in an equivalent volume of water delivered from the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field to ACWWA’s service area being fully consumable, and therefore, available for use, reuse, and successive use. Prior to reuse and successive use, ACWWA must obtain a decree quantifying the rate, timing, and location of water available for such reuse and successive use and approving the points of diversion or re-diversion for the water available for such use and successive use. 3.10.7.

Disposition of the Subject Water Right. The Subject Water Right is dedicated to use for augmentation, replacement, and use in ACWWA’s present and future service area, and shall not be sold or leased for a period exceeding five years (“longterm lease”), or otherwise permanently disposed of by ACWWA for uses other than those authorized under this Decree, except under the conditions set forth in the 3173 Decree and paragraph 17.4 of the 306 Decree. ACWWA may also utilize water diverted pursuant to the Subject Water Right to fulfill contractual obligations to other municipalities and water users subject to the following conditions: (a) the contractual obligation exists at the time this Decree is entered; (b) the contractual obligation is met by use of a metered treated

water tap supplied by ACWWA; (c) the contractual obligation is of limited duration and is for use in a decreed augmentation plan or in a substitute water supply plan approved by the State Engineer pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-308 or successor statutes; or (d) the contractual obligation is pursuant to a water trade agreement whereby ACWWA is obligated to deliver water to a party in return for deliveries by said party to ACWWA of an equivalent amount of water from alternate sources.

3.10.8. Use by ECCV. ACWWA may lease and/or trade water attributable to the Subject Water Right to ECCV for use in ECCV’s augmentation plans and delivery to recharge projects approved in Case Nos. 02CW403 and 02CW404/03CW442, as amended by the 306 Decree, as well as the recharge projects and exchanges decreed in Case No. 16CW3196, including use to replace return flow obligations associated with ECCV’s changed water rights. This water may also be used by ECCV, by lease or trade with ACWWA, pursuant to a subsequent Water Court decree, so long as the Subject Water Right is listed as a source of supply or replacement water in that decree. 4.

Detailed outline of work done for the completion of the conditional appropriation for reasonable diligence. ACWWA’s unified, integrated system for the diversion, accretion, collection, storage, transmission, and treatment of water rights (the “Water Supply Project” or “Flow Project”) was originally designed to provide ACWWA with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for its present and future service area. The conditional water rights decreed herein are part of the Water Supply Project, which will provide water within ACWWA’s present and future service area.

Pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-301(4)(b), for purposes of demonstrating diligence, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of all water rights conditionally decreed herein and shall constitute diligence toward the development of each of the conditional water rights decreed herein. During the diligence period ACWWA has done, at a minimum, the following work towards completion or for completion of the appropriations and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed (expenditure numbers are rounded to the nearest $1,000): 4.1. Legal Fees. Legal fees in the amount of $3,200,000.00 were expended during the diligence period in ACWWA’s adjudicatory proceedings for the appropriation of new water rights and changes to existing water rights for ACWWA’s Flow Project, and water rights protection and opposition. 4.2. Engineering Costs.

Engineering costs in the amount of $1,930,488.00 were expended during the diligence period in connection with ACWWA’s Flow Project, to perform water rights modeling, exchange potential modeling, appropriation of new water rights, changes to existing water rights, water rights protection and opposition, and water rights accounting. 4.3. Additional Replacement Water.

ACWWA has filed applications and obtained decrees in the cases listed below to increase the replacement supplies available under its augmentation plan decrees and facilitate increased diversions in the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field, to add storage facilities and recharge locations, and to add exchanges to aid in moving its replacement water to it places of beneficial use. 4.3.1. Case No. 11CW151, original application filed August 31, 2011; decree entered November 26, 2018. 4.3.2.

MEHARENA FROM PAGE 12

of young patients who are either underinsured or not insured at all.

Meharena started treating patients in Aurora in 2011, noting that it’s her sole job to date after graduating college in 2008.

In pediatrics, Meharena said, you cannot treat a child without taking care of the family too. In her office, it is not uncommon to treat families where English is not the primary language. To be able to do that effectively, Meharena speaks Spanish, English and Amharic.

“For me, this is so much bigger than medicine,” she said. “As a pediatrician, you are helping a family. Whatever is going on with those kids is directly tied to the pressure and stress parents are living under as well.”

Equity matters everywhere Meharena speaks about equity, and not just regarding race. Meharena said she is a proponent of equity in health care, food security and living a happy, healthy life.

With her patients, Meharena said, when both parents must work jobs that may be at night, children are left to cook dinners and fend for themselves out of necessity. In some cases, she sees issues with obesity because they may not be making healthy meals.

To help those families, in the past, Meharena has taken families on grocery shopping trips. Knowing their budgets, Meharena has spent time to educate families on what they can afford and what they can do with that food to make healthier meals.

Meharena said she has not been able to keep doing that as often as she likes, but said she constantly advocates to help families have access to everything they deserve.

That’s the role in which Meharena works on various boards, pushing to make sure those being impacted are represented at the

table.

On the American Academy of Pediatrics website, Meharena is quoted saying, “All children — irrelevant of social, economic, or other status — deserve the chance to live a healthy life, and a pediatric provider who cares enough to help them try to achieve it. That is why I work at Every Child Pediatrics.”

While she serves on boards and participates in important community memberships, Meharena said she is unlikely to enter the political arena because at the end of the day, seeing her patients and helping families is right where she needs to be.

Cassie Littler, vice president

of the Colorado Chapater of the American Academy of Petriatrics, said Meharena is at the forefront in leading her colleagues to improve the health and wellbeing of the state’s infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

“Dr. Sophie, as her patients call her, has long been an advocate in and out of the exam room,” said Littler. “The impact of her work is not only felt by the families whom she serves but by children all across Colorado. Sophia never rests as she constantly works to find solutions to the challenges and needs of all youth.”

Mental health matters As a leader in the community,

last November Meharena participated in a special roundtable discussion hosted by Children’s Hospital Colorado. In the discussion, Meharena said the health care system is getting overwhelmed, noting that an alarming number of her own patients were having suicidal thoughts.

Meharena said parents are overwhelmed in not knowing what to do and the industry is overwhelmed because it does not have the facilities, resources or workforce to address the continually growing number of patients in need of mental health intervention.

“Without coordinated and consistent resources and access for all, we cannot have a sustainable system,” Meharena said. “Getting the mechanics right is key to a sustainable system to address the needs in Colorado. Investing in children’s mental health is investing in this country’s future.”

Meharena and regional experts agree the mental health crisis was already at an alarming level before the pandemic. When COVID-19 took hold of the world, the crisis boiled over and could no longer be ignored.

Meharena said it is becoming too common to get a report about one of her patients being admitted to a local hospital for mental health concerns. Her worries, Meharena said, is that her patients are not getting the right care or level of care because they keep being readmitted.

When asked if it’s too late, with wide eyes and the enthusiasm she shows in all her passions, Meharena said, “NO!” “We are never too late in pediatrics,” she said. “With the right resources and help, kids are resilient. Kids can grow to be successful with the support and resources around them that they need.”

Meharena said she is hopeful that hospitals and state agencies are going to continue to work together to address mental health for everyone who needs it.
