e Englewood City Council interviewed the top four candidates to ll the vacated At-Large seat left vacant by former councilmember Cheryl Wink on Aug. 9.

After interviewing candidates

Brenda Hubka, Joel Moore, PJ Kolnik and Tena Prange, discussed who would be the best t to temporarily ll the seat, narrowing the

candidates to Moore and Kolnik.

e council agreed Hubka and Prange would do well in the position but felt because they’re both members of the Englewood Planning & Zoning Commission there would be an issue when voting on CodeNext.

ey also agreed CodeNext is one of the biggest issues the council will work on in the next few months along with determining the city’s budget.

“I thought that both Tena Prange and Brenda Hubka did really well in their interviews but the only hesitation I have as I re ect on them is they’re obviously very familiar with CodeNext but I wonder if they’re not too familiar and if any of that would be bring some kind of con ict of interest,” District 3 Councilmember Joe Anderson said.

South metro auto tech students succeed at national championships

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One hot summer day, for eight consecutive hours, local students William Schimberg and Liam Keller diagnosed and solved one challenging car problem after another.

ey went from station to station, answering questions and demonstrating their knowledge of engines, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, electrical systems, heating, air conditioning and more.

is was at a national championship competition for automotive service technology students, where Schimberg and Keller, who both took courses through Arapahoe Community College, wowed the judges — placing rst and fourth in their respective divisions.

e competition was at the SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference, run by a national education association focused on careers in trade, technical and skilled service occupations.

“(A SkillsUSA competitor) is the type of student that really wants to excel in their career — whether it’s automotive,

whether it’s welding, aviation, cosmetology, mechatronics — whatever the category is, it always attracts a student that wants to really excel and be one of those top people in their eld,” said Doc Viola, director of the auto service technology program at ACC.

Two talented students

Schimberg and Keller represented Colorado in di erent divisions of the national competition.

Keller, a recent alumnus from the auto service technology program at ACC, competed against other college students in the post-secondary division of the competition.

Schimberg, who graduated from Grandview High School in the Cherry Creek School District in May, competed in the secondary division against other high schoolers from around the country. During high school, Schimberg earned ACC credits through concurrent enrollment while taking classes at the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus.

Both students won other competitions on their road to nationals. After proving their abilities within their respective programs, they placed in the top rankings at regionals and won the state competition.

“It was de nitely a ride,” Keller said of the journey. “I spent a lot of time (and) sacri ces outside of work and outside of school just to be able to prep to myself for the competition.”

In addition to his classwork and his job xing cars at a Toyota dealership, Keller studied and practiced mock competition scenarios almost every day for several months leading up to the competition.

“I’m most proud of him just for the amount of e ort and the amount of sacri ce he had to put into his life, just to make sure that he was the very best he could be,” said Jake Tipsword, Keller’s advisor. “ at, I think more than anything, is why I’m so proud of him. e competition was almost tertiary at that point.”

Schimberg worked in a performance auto shop, studied and had classmates and teachers helping him prepare.

Brian Manley, Schimberg’s teacher at the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus, said they went to dealerships to practice with the kinds of cars they expected to be in the competition.

“He put in the work,” Manley said of Schimberg. “He studied very hard, and he’s an exceptional human. He’s really got an amazing intellect.”

The competition

During the competition, students rotated among various stations where they faced challenging diagnostic issues, Tipsword said. At each station, they had to diagnose the problem, explain it and try to solve it. At one

station, there was a 100-question written test, Tipsword said.

Many of the stations, he said, are created to be almost impossible to solve. e judges, who are representatives from leading manufacturers in the industry, want to see that students have knowledge of the systems, an ability to diagnose problems, an understanding of di erent diagnostic equipment and strong critical thinking skills.

“Imagine spending eight hours of people just back-to-back throwing the hardest problems at you they can think of, in hopes that you will fail, basically,” Tipsword said.

The value of skilled trades

Considering the di culty of the competition, placing rst and fourth were signi cant accomplishments for Schimberg and Keller.

“It was honestly surprising because I haven’t been in the program as long as some of these other kids,” Schimberg said about becoming a national champion. “I was pretty thrilled to have the experience and be able to go out there and test my knowledge against some of these other strong competitors.”

Keller, who nished the competition in fourth place, said he was proud of how much his motivation and con dence increased during his time at Arapahoe Community College.

“I just went from a complete lost student back in high school, extremely stressed out and worried about ‘What am I going to do for the future?’ to someone who — I have con dence in my ability to work now and I have a plan of exactly what I need to do next,” he said.

Keller will continue working at AutoNation Toyota and taking steps towards becoming a master diagnostic technician, with a hope of one day working on racecars.

Schimberg will be attending the Colorado School of Mines and is planning to study mechanical engineering with a focus on automotive engineering.

For people considering their career options, Tipsword said he hopes more people can see the value of a career in skilled trades. He said ACC is a great place to start in the automotive industry.

“It’s okay to do things with your hands,” he said. “It’s okay to be an artisan. And I’d just like to see more people get involved because it actually is really fun and really inspiring.”

City awards space for Englewood Arts in civic center

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Englewood City Council approved an agreement awarding space to Englewood Arts in a regular meeting Aug. 7.

According to city documents, the space is on the second oor of the Englewood Civic Center, and Englewood Arts (E-Arts) will share the space with Historic Englewood, which received its portion of the space July 24.

e Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) was previously housed there before it abandoned the space, and city documents say the city reached out to E-Arts and Historic Englewood to utilize the space.

E-Arts will primarily use the space to “expand their ability to o er classes and programs,” documents read. e program provides music lessons to the community including violin, cello and piano.

“We’ve provided important services to the community for over 20 years, and this will allow us to expand the educational opportunities that we have,” Jim Copenhaver, chairman of the E-Arts board, said in public comments Aug. 7.

Englewood resident and mother Danielle Carr said at the meeting that she is grateful for E-Arts and the education the organization has provided her children as she homeschools them.

“Having opportunities for families where discounted music lessons are available is so valuable,” Carr said. “If we give them opportunities as children, they ... excel better, and it does increase their intelligence level which helps them be more productive citizens in the neighborhood.”

Under this contract, the city agrees to “provide use of a portion of the former MOA space to E-Arts.” e organization will have exclusive use of all areas in the space except for a meeting space and a conference room the city will use at certain times during the week documents said.

Additionally, documents said the city will provide routine non-eventrelated maintenance and cleaning of the space. e city will also make improvements to the meeting and

conference room “which may include paint, ooring, cabinetry and plumbing” and “install a door that allows for visibility into the White Box Room within 90 days of the execution of the amendment.”

In return, the agreement said E-Arts will “utilize the space to promote the arts in Englewood, maintain a master schedule for the annual use of the space, schedule all rental uses of the space” and maintain rental records for the city.

e motion to award the space to E-Arts passed 5-1 with At Large Councilmember Rita Russell voting no.

Records show the city entered into an agreement with E-Arts in October 2005 when the organization was in Hampden Hall in the civic center. In May 2018 the organization gave an update on Hampden Hall and then in December 2019 E-Arts renewed the agreement of an additional ve years running through the end of 2025, records say.

Since May 2023 the council tabled the approval of this contract at the request for additional information and amendments to the contract.

City records say those amendments include “added language relative to the closing of doors, added language relative to reporting requirements of E-Arts and added language relative to detailing what the space means to E-Arts.”

e space will also be used for cultural programs and installations by Historic Englewood. e agreement between the city and Historic Englewood allows the organization to use a portion of the open gallery space and large storage area for collections.

According to Matt Crabtree, president of Historic Englewood, the organization is looking forward to utilizing the space.

“We’re excited at the opportunity to create a unique historic museum,” Crabtree said.

He explained for the next six months Historic Englewood will modify the space for the museum.

e organization is currently working on designing an interactive opening exhibit showcasing Cinderella City, which he said the civic center was a part of.

Arapahoe County will not float tax measures this November

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After Arapahoe County’s consideration of potential tax-related measures to help address its nancial crisis, the commissioners decided they will not present voters with any such measures this November.

e county is facing a scal crisis caused by in ation, population growth and the fact that the county’s tax revenue has not kept up with demand for services in recent years, sta explained at an Aug. 8 board meeting.

To remedy the budgetary concerns, the county commissioners discussed oating two potential ballot measures to voters.

One would have proposed a new sales tax to create a dedicated funding stream for speci c services. is would be modeled after the county’s open spaces sales tax, which is currently set at 0.25%.

e other potential ballot measure would have asked voters to release the county from the property tax revenue cap of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), an act commonly known as debrucing.

But after polling and receiving community feedback on these options, commissioners unanimously decided that now is not the time to propose either measure to voters.

“I was really gung ho to try to put something on the ballot this year,

but it’s, I don’t think, the year for it,” said District 2 Commissioner Jessica Campbell-Swanson. “I don’t know when the year will be, but it’s a conversation we need to be having.”

The budget issue

e budget concerns facing Arapahoe County have been building for years, Michelle Halstead, director of the commissioners’ o ce, said.

e pandemic, coupled with population growth, has pushed the urgency of this issue, she said.

e county has been able to use American Rescue Plan Act, or ARPA, funding to maintain many of its services in the short-term. But these funds will reach their end in 2025.

“If we do not nd a way to raise revenue in a sustainable way, I think some really devastating things are going to happen in this county,” CampbellSwanson said.

e county has a backlog of repairs for vital infrastructure and facilities of over $500 million, Halstead said at the meeting.

In addition to infrastructure concerns, the county could soon need to consider cuts to programs including regional transportation projects, street sweeping, co-responder programs, public safety o cer trainings, eviction prevention, safety net programs for children and adults, economic development funding for small businesses and more, Halstead said.

Polling shows lukewarm stances on tax measures

At the meeting, sta said the most recent round of polling results showed about half of respondents supporting the sales tax measure and less than 50% of respondents supportive of “de-brucing,” which would allow the county to spend excess tax revenues instead of gving TABOR refunds to residents.

In an interview, District 3 Commissioner Je Baker said the commissioners did not want to place the measures on the ballot if they didn’t expect them to win. Under state statute, if they were to put a sales tax measure to voters in 2023 and the measure were to fail, they could not put it on another ballot until 2025, he said.

Baker said residents may be opposed to the idea of the tax measures because many costs of living – from gas, to groceries, to school supplies – are already getting higher.

He also said the increase in assessment values this year could make many less receptive to the idea of debrucing.

Arapahoe County saw almost a 42% increase in residential values when the assessor’s o ce released property valuations this year, according to County Assessor PK Kaiser. As a result, many homeowners face a double-digit percentage increase in their property tax bill for next year.

“I understand that, after the receipt

of the assessment values from the assessor’s o ce, that there’s a lot of folks that were upset with the amount of valuation of their homes that went up,” Baker said in the meeting. “I agree, this is probably not the right year to do (debrucing).”

He added that other counties surrounding Arapahoe have debruced and Arapahoe will need to think about it in the upcoming years.

An ongoing conversation

e commissioners all emphasized an overarching sentiment that the county’s budgetary crisis is serious, adding that potential cuts to federal programs might add even more stress. e commissioners committed to working to nd solutions and said the tax measures may still be on the table for next year.

“What I would say to our community and our sta , is that you have our commitment, that we care about you,” Board Chair Carrie Warren-Gully said at the meeting. “We know what the need is, and we want to provide that and we are going to continue to move forward with this conversation.”

In the meantime, the board has asked county departments and o ces to explore what it would look like to cut their budgets by 5%, Baker said. County documents say the goal for the next year’s budget is to focus on maintaining current service levels rather than expanding services.

“BIG THINGS” UNDERWAY ACROSS LITTLETON

While preserving Littleton’s charm, the city is also paving the way for important transportation upgrades, infrastructure investments, and innovation.

Thanks in large part to the sales tax increase voters passed in 2021, work is in progress to make much needed improvements across six different areas including:

• Street improvements and maintenance

• Pedestrian and bike safety

• Storm drainage and sewer

• Facilities and fleet

• Parks and open space

• Technology upgrades

The new revenue generated through the increased tax helped the city leverage about $30 million in state and federal grants. For every $1 the city spends, it brings about $4 from outside the community that will help enhance the already high quality of life.

MAXIMIZING BENEFIT, MINIMIZING DISRUPTIONS

With any major infrastructure improvements, comes minor inconveniences. The city is serious about communicating with the residents and businesses about potential impacts, such as lane or street closures.

• Watch for outdoor signs, mailers, or flyers with important information about upcoming construction.

• Wherever you see the new “BIG THINGS” logo, pictured right, you’ll know a local improvement project is in progress.

• Visit www.bigthingslittleton.com for project details, including the status, and to get in touch with public works staff.

The city appreciates your patience as it builds the future of Littleton.

Customer service doesn’t stop with your customers. Whether you are in the restaurant business, a retail outlet or a local service provider, your actions can serve to protect our waterways. Being conscious of good housekeeping practices, such as washing mats indoors, keeping lids closed on garbage cans and disposing of oils, detergents and grease properly, helps keep harmful contaminants out of our waterways.

Local stormwater agencies are teaming together to bring you this message. We take this so seriously that we posted this ad rather than send you more garbage in the mail. One thing is clear: our creeks, rivers and lakes depend on you.

FROM PAGE 1

e commission voted in a July 25 meeting to approve the recommendation of the proposed changes to the code development plan to the council. A public hearing to discuss CodeNext is scheduled for Aug. 21.

“We do believe that if someone from (the Planning & Zoning Commission) that voted on CodeNext were appointed to city council that they should not vote on CodeNext on city council,”

Tamara Niles, city attorney said during the discussion.

She said since Prange and Hubka have already learned about CodeNext, weighed the evidence and voted on the most recent draft, then they would have to recuse themselves because they could not be impartial.

ber will also be sworn in Aug. 14 and will serve until the seat is up for reelection on November 7.

Both Moore and Kolnik said they would not be running for o ce after they serve for the next few months. ey said they want to help the city but didn’t have any plans to launch a political campaign.

Moore has lived in Englewood since 2017 and currently works for the Education Commission of the State and served on the Englewood Budget Advisory Committee but resigned in 2020 due to a death in his immediate family.

When asked by the council about the two greatest issues currently facing Englewood, he said infrastructure and development.

Students at Englewood Public Schools elementaries, Englewood Middle School and Englewood High School returned for the 2023-2024 school year Aug. 11.

“What I appreciated is that he continuously referenced our strategical plan, how we make decisions, the vision of the city and he was the only one who mentioned multiple plans the city has had, and he seems the most well round in his understanding of the job,” District 2 Councilmember Chelsea Nunnenkamp said.

While the council selected Moore and Kolnik as the top contenders, they weren’t able to reach a consensus as At Large Councilmember Jim Woodward didn’t hear Kolnik’s interview. He said he will watch a recording of the interview and make his decision.

e council will appoint an interim council member at the beginning of a special meeting on Monday, Aug.

He said he feels the city can continue to work on its infrastructure and there are ways to create opportunities for obtainable housing without damaging relationships.

“I believe that it is possible to maintain the character of Englewood’s neighborhoods while also considering uses for underdeveloped areas in the city,” Moore said.

e council feels condent in Moore’s ability to make decisions regarding the city’s budget due to his experience on the Budget

He feels the two biggest issues facing Englewood are the budget and a ordable and obtainable housing. Kolnik said with his construction background he can understand elements of CodeNext and if appointed he would want to help the council clear up any confusion in the proposed changes.

“I think just removing inconsistencies where there are either contradictions or just opportunities to enhance a ordable and obtainable housing in Englewood (are important),” he said.

In his interview Kolnik addressed various programs and plans the city has worked on to create

Cherry Creek’s Rymer rallies to fight cancer for himself, others

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2021, Garrett Rymer was having a typical day for any teenager. He was riding his bicycle when he crashed and broke his right arm. He’d have to wear a cast and, when he returned for a checkup, although the bone had healed, he had a weakness in his arm that wouldn’t go away.

So, doctors at Children’s Hospital Colorado investigated and just two days before Christmas, his mom delivered the world-bending news that he had a rare form of spinal cord cancer.

It pulled a dark cloud over the holidays and his foreseeable future.

But, after countless appointments, treatment plans, and lengthy talks with several doctors, more than a year and a half later, Rymer, now 16, is doing well. He’s gearing up for the 6th annual Denver Open Water Swim put on by Swim Across America. In the Aug. 20 event, at Chat eld Reservoir in Littleton, participants swim to raise money for cancer research.

“Coming from someone who wouldn’t be alive today without the generous donations put toward cancer research, your involvement with Swim Across America might just save a life,” Rymer said.

Rymer is an ambassador for the nonpro t, and is currently on a campaign to help others like him. He is in high spirits also, feeling healthier after undergoing surgery to remove roughly 50% of the tumor from his spinal cord last year.

Rymer also participated in a clinical trial for a chemotherapy treatment that involved a new, twicedaily pill, meaning he wouldn’t have to face weekly infusions.

“ e side-e ects were less severe than those of conventional chemo, and I was blessed to be able to keep my hair and live my life relatively unhindered by my treatment,” Rymer said.

e remaining tumor hasn’t grown. In fact, it has even shrunk a tad thanks to the new treatment.

Rymer said this news is incredible considering chemotherapy isn’t known to shrink tumors; it typically just stunts their growth. Now, he is in the watchful, monitoring stage, with check-ups every three months or so.

family trips, my trip with the (Boy) Scouts. I’ve kind of been all over the map this summer, so it’s nice to come up here. It’s a second home for us. It’s relaxing, so it’s been great.

So how did you get involved with Swim Across America? Why was it important to you?

So this is a funny story. My rst swim coaches were the sons of Mr. Eric Vitcenta, who is kind of the director of the Denver chapter of Swim Across America. His sons were not only the coaches on my swim team, but he and my dad have been friends for years. When he heard I had been diagnosed with cancer, he reached out saying, “ is is what it is. is is what we do. If Garrett ever gets to the point that he’s interested.” So ultimately that’s how I got into it and I became an ambassador for Swim Across America. It’s im-

portant. I’m thankful to have become a part of several organizations who bring light into the lives of pediatric cancer patients, such as Swim Across America.

How is the function in your arm these days? Will swimming be tough? With regards to the actual swimming, that’s been a pretty big hurdle. Up until Mr. Vitcenda approached me, I had done very little swimming since the diagnosis. Before then, I had swam every summer on our summer league team, but I hadn’t done anything super competitive. But afterwards, I kind of got out of it just because I have a lot going on, mostly because it was very di cult with my arm. To this day I still can’t really raise my arm. Imagine if you’re reaching out to catch a ball or working on something overhead. at’s just a movement I haven’t been able to do.

What changed that made you want to get back in the pool?

ey o er a half mile, a one mile, and two mile at the Swim Across

America event. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be up for any of it. But I decided to just go to my local neighborhood pool to give it a try to see if I felt like I could do it, and I was surprised to learn I could. At rst, I was just doing the normal free stroke, the crawl, with my left hand, my unaffected arm. But eventually I gured out I can incorporate my right arm by using my left arm to pull it forwards. It allowed me to nd a way to swim with my arm, while using my legs heavily too. I’ve been training a lot for the event since, and I’ve done the mile swim twice. So that’s the event I’m going to do.

What is Peak to Peak Detailing, by the way?

Oh! Detailing was just something I got into just a few months ago. I got my rst vehicle (a 2012 Toyota 4Runner), which was super exciting. ere was a little stain on the seats, so I was Googling how to get the stain out. It kind of opened this whole world for me where it was like, “Oh man, it’s not just taking it to the carwash and wiping it with a vacuum.” So I kind of started to learn the skills one by one. I made a deal with my parents that I’d do full interior and exterior details on both of their cars if they would pay for some supplies I needed to start up. So I started Peak to Peak Detailing in February, and had my rst o cial paid client in May. It’s kind of grown to be my own business.

*Rymer is o ering a vehicle detail package as a fundraising incentive

for Team Children’s Colorado, which is participating in the Swim Across America Denver event, and he has raised more than $3,000 to date for the upcoming swim. You can view more details at www.coloradocommunitymedia.com/sports.

Finally, who have you leaned on for strength throughout this battle, and how important have the people around you been to your mindset in recent years?

Oh man, I’ve really been blessed to have a lot of great people surround me. Obviously, my family has been there to support me throughout it all. Outside of my family, while I was in the hospital, I had a surgery to try and remove some of that tumor. I spent about three weeks in the hospital after that surgery. I didn’t really feel comfortable telling anybody at that point. I was worried about rumors and still trying to come to terms with it myself. But the one group that I was comfortable telling was my scout troop. It’s kind of like another family for me, there’s about 40 of us in our troop. My best friend, who is part of that troop, told them on my behalf during one of our meetings. A few weeks later when I got out of the hospital and went to my rst meeting, it was pretty monumental to see how excited they were that I was back. It was great to see that. Really all around I’ve had so many people surround me. I de nitely could not have gotten through all this without all the people to support me.

Teacher wins Colorado Thespians Hall of Fame Award

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

John Kron started directing performances when he was 7 years old.

“I would do plays in my basement with some of my friends,” he said. “Our audience was, basically, my brothers and my parents, and sometimes another neighbor.”

ese childhood performances evolved into a career in theatre education for Kron, who taught students at Littleton High School and in the Cherry Creek School District during his 42-year-long career.

Now, seven years after retiring, Kron is the recipient of the 2023 Colorado espians Hall of Fame Award, which recognizes educators who have spent 20 or more years teaching theatre.

Hall of Fame

“ e Hall of Fame is reserved for those teachers who have really committed their career to providing opportunities for students in performance and technical arts,” said Tami LoSasso, executive director of Colorado espians, which provides

theatre education opportunities to students and educators statewide.

e organization doesn’t give the Hall of Fame Award every year, LoSasso said. When they do, they award it to only one person.

“ is year, John was nominated by some colleagues that he has worked with in the past for the outstanding work that he did, and the lack of recognition that he got upon his retirement (in 2016),” she said.

Kron’s career

During his career, Kron ran drama clubs, built stage sets and directed after-school productions.

On top of his role as a teacher, he served as chair of the performing arts department at Littleton High School, led workshops at Colorado espians conferences, and even served as the group’s director.

“My philosophy has always been to let the students do the work,” he wrote in his nomination materials for the hall of fame award. “I encouraged them to take risks, try something, even if it fails at rst, and then continue tweaking it until it works.”

Over the course of his career, Kron designed or directed more than 100 plays or musicals.

When deliberating about who to choose for this year’s award, LoSasso said the Colorado espians board was most inspired by the outpouring of love for Kron from his former students.

“ ere were so many testimonials about him as a teacher and the impact he made on their life,” she said. “Some of them went on to pursue the performing arts and some of them didn’t. But through his in uence in their lives, they all became more empathetic human beings and all more well-rounded people.”

The value of theatre

For Kron, the most valuable part of teaching was the impact theatre had on students.

Some of his former students went

on to become performers on Broadway and others became lawyers and museum directors.

“My goal was to promote the kind of special self-growth that goes on in drama, when students realize that they’re capable of doing wonderful things,” he said. “ e con dence that comes from developing a character and performing in front of an audience … that’s always been the most important thing for me.”

Beyond the value of theatre for performers, Kron said theatre is valuable to audiences because it can showcase important themes and share lessons.

Since retiring, Kron has remained involved in the theatre community by playwriting for Magic Moments, a local organization that runs theatre programs with an integrated cast of people of all physical and developmental disability levels.

Elections that matter

FROM THE EDITOR

While national politics tend to get more of our attention — just read last week’s column — I have to say as a journalist, I have always loved covering the local elections.

Decades ago as a young journalist, I started covering school boards, town councils and county commissions.

e education was invaluable because it did not take a lot of time for me to realize that while national political topics are talked about, griped about and get the mainstream media’s main attention — It’s the local races that mean more to our daily lives.

What does that mean?

For starters, once we became homeowners, my husband and I got a crash course in where property taxes go. Why our assessed value means anything — especially this year in Colorado.

When we started having children and growing our family — we quickly learned why the quality in a local school district matters and why we should be concerned about what teachers are paid.

At the city council level — it’s not just about taxes. ese elected boards have a hand in our everyday lives. What speed limit should you be traveling on that street? Well — it’s your local elected leaders who get to decide.

Which roadways are in shambles and should be repaired? Well — it’s that local elected board who hears from sta and decides whether or not to pay millions toward xing it.

Should that massive mulitiuse development be built on neighboring land? Again, it is the local elected board that decides to give it a thumbs up

or a thumbs down. Although, personal interjection here, from Arizona to Colorado I have always been a bit surprised on how easily most of these projects get a thumbs up even when there is not enough water to support such a plan, but that’s a column for another day.

Our school boards are becoming more and more political with each election cycle.

ese are the elected boards where I am the most concerned. As politics seeps into our classrooms and we start wondering why. Again, it’s that local elected board setting the tone and establishing policy.

Most of the school districts have candidates running in the November election in Douglas and Arapahoe counties. Even if you do not have children — you should be paying attention to who is running and who are the most reasonable candidates.

e o -year elections are the ones where we are not deciding who gets to be president, we are deciding who gets to set tone, pace and cost of our everyday lives. Voter turnout for elections such as the one coming up on Nov. 7 should get way more turnout than they tend to get.

Besides electing who will represent us — we often are asked to consider tax increases. Douglas County School District has approved asking again this November for more money. More may do so.

In Parker — residents will be asked to make changes to the town charter. While that may seem vague — these are governing policies that residents have an o cial say in. A resident’s vote does matter.

ese are the elections that matter and need our attention — I would say now more than ever.

The real us vs. the online us

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could live our social media life all the time?

I mean we post beautiful and happy pictures of ourselves, our family and our friends. We post our smiles and celebrations. We post pictures of oceans, mountains, sunrises, sunsets, boats and our favorite vacation spots. We post pictures of our delicious meals at home or in restaurants and sometimes include our frosty beverage or share the bottle of wine we just ordered. We love to post pictures of our children and grandchildren, our dogs, our cats, horses, turtles and any other pet we own. I don’t know about you, but I want to live in that world of love, happiness and beauty all of the time.

ere are some folks out there who prefer to post negative thoughts. ey go on toxic rants and, well, just post some not-so-nice things. e good news is that we can choose to unfriend them or mute them for a while. ere is just too much goodness in the world that we don’t need to get mired in the yuck and muck of life.

What would it look like for us to be more consistent, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow? What would it look like for us to be so consistent in our actions, thoughts, words and

posts? What would it look like and feel like if we were the same happy, cheerful, thoughtful, fun and loving person that people see on social media?

I guess the hard question we must ask ourselves is this, “Why am I not the same person that I want others to see in me?” What is driving my inconsistency? Am I faking it? Am I faking it just so others don’t see the real me or the other side of me? Or that they won’t see the di culties in my life or my moments of being fragile?

ere is that joke about a police o cer pulling over a car. ere was a woman showing animated signs of being angry and upset, waving her arms around, screaming and demonstrating all kinds of road rage. When the o cer pulled her over, she asked why she was being pulled over. e o cer replied that he thought the car may have been stolen. Confused, the woman asked why. e o cer said because he saw the Jesus bumper sticker and the sh emblem on the back of the car and then saw the anger and road rage going on so he simply assumed that the car must have been stolen.

How many times have we argued with our spouse or children and then when a friend shows up, we put on our best smile, happy face, and kindest appearance? We have all done it and have done it more times than we care to remember. We have all done it, and all the while knowing we were faking it or being disingenuous.

First-time author, Michael Lee releases children’s book

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Blending his passion for technology and art into adventure, rsttime author Michael Lee published “Drone Away From Home” to help encourage younger audiences to read and inspire readers to explore.

Lee, a military veteran, was rst inspired to tell a story of adventure after moving to Colorado in 2010 and seeing the beauty of the state. When his three children were young, he used to take them to the park where they would y kites.

Lee wrote a story called “ e Kite in the Cloud,” but was not completely satis ed with it, leaving the story to sit in his computer.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Highlands Ranch resident Lee was looking for a creative outlet and decided to come back to the story.

“You don’t see too many people ying a kite nowadays,” said Lee. “I swapped out the kite for drones and made it much more interesting.”

“Drone Away From Home” is a

story that involves friendship, overcoming obstacles and going on a worldwide adventure.

Lee’s story is about a young boy named Darius and his drone friend, Finton. One day, Finton gets lost in a storm and meets a cloud named Sophia who helps him nd his way back to Darius.

“You just hear all the stories of how you know, kids weren’t reading during the pandemic,” said Lee. “My goal was to help inspire kids to both read and write about technology.”

Lee got a master’s degree in information technology and is now an engineer. Lee said this book and his future books are going to infuse technology, whether it’s about how technology can help people or bring people together.

“Drone Away From Home” is the start of a series. Lee plans to have another book come out next year.

e next book will be a kind of prequel as it will take kids through the process of how a drone is created

earning about history is more fun when you experience it.

at’s why the metro area has a wide range of places to experience Colorado’s history rsthand. Museums, tourist attractions and more provide venues for adults and children to get hands-on learning about Colorado history from the Jurrasic age to the 1900s.

From dinosaurs to mining and railroad history to early home and school life — the metro area has plenty of locations where families can have fun and learn a bit in the process.

Living history museums enable visitors to experience the everyday home life of ordinary people who toiled on Colorado’s farms, ranches, factories, mines, smelters and more, according to Kevin Rucker, a senior lecturer in MSU Denver’s history department.

For example, “visitors are able to visualize and empathize with what it took for women to take care of a household and raise families,” he said.

Rucker pointed to the Four-Mile House, Golden Prospect Park, Littleton Heritage Museum, Black Western History Museum, Molly Brown House as a starting point for all of the living history locations in the area. Colorado Community Media takes a look at some of the places in the metro area that provide hands-on history.

Who doesn’t love dinosaurs?

Morrison is home to two spots where families can learn about dinosaurs — Dinosaur Ridge and the Morrison Natural History Museum.

logic and paleontological features. Visitors can check out the area themselves or with volunteers and geologists to learn about the dinosaurs that roamed the area. ere’s a museum and gift shop at C-470 and Alameda Parkway, and Dinosaur Ridge has Dinosaur Days throughout the year.

Close by is the Morrison Natural History Museum on Highway 8 just south of downtown Morrison, where families can learn more about dinosaurs. e museum is also a research center, so in addition to visiting the museum, people can take archeological trips.

Stegosaurus Day is always fun for kids as they try their hands at peeling away rocks to nd fossils.

Gold rush

Clear Creek County has several locations to learn more about Colorado’s mining history. At the Phoenix Gold Mine southwest of Idaho Springs, history comes alive as visitors go underground in a gold mine, pan for gold to try to strike it rich themselves and more.

Mine owner Dave Mosch, whose family has lived in Colorado since the 1860s,

called the Phoenix Gold Mine fascinating for those who haven’t seen up close what mining was like, especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He noted that the mining-support industry also brought people to Colorado — building houses, operating shops and providing personal aspects of life to miners.

“Colorado is a beautiful place, but what originally brought people here was the gold,” Mosch said. “ e more you understand mining, the more you understand the growth of our state.”

He and all of Clear Creek County are proud that the Colorado gold rush began in 1859 in the county.

Trains and more trains

e founder of the Colorado Railroad Museum understood how big the railroads were to settling Colorado.

“Bob Richardson (the founder of the museum) realized that people needed to know how it all got started, how people traveled to Colorado and how hard it was,” Roni Kramer, director of education for the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, explained. “It is important to see every aspect of people’s beginnings and how they got here on the train. Honestly, it’s such an interesting story.”

While adults may be more interested in historical tidbits, children have the opportunity to check out all areas of di erent train cars. ey ring bells, move through

kitchen and bunk cars to see how people traveling by train ate and slept, and more. And who wouldn’t love to have a birthday party in a caboose?

e railroad museum continues to get more interactive, Kramer said, with train rides, turntable demonstrations, art activities, a locomotive simulator and more — everything to please train lovers and train novices alike.

A farming life

Daily life on the plains in Colorado evolved between the 1860s and the 1890s, and the Littleton Museum has two working historical farms for visitors to learn about what life was like then. Historic interpreters in period clothing are happy to explain trades and skills of the time, plus they maintain the gardens, pumpkin elds and livestock.

According to the Littleton Museum, great care has been taken to ensure that plants and animals are historically accurate for the time period they represent.

e 1860s farm is a pioneer homestead during Littleton’s settlement period, a time before train travel, when oxen-drawn wagons were the main source of transportation. e schoolhouse at the farm, the rst in Littleton, showed how residents were moving forward to establish a formal township. e 1860s farm also has an ice house, sheep shed and barn.

e 1890s farm, which has a barn, tool shed, and privy, also has a working blacksmith shop, which was important to farm communities.

e shop depicts blacksmithing in 1903, when electricity reached Littleton.

The importance of history

“History is important,” Kramer said, explaining that people need to learn to appreciate how difcult it was to settle Colorado.

Rucker added that farmers in the early settlement days of Colorado worked from dawn to dusk just to survive. In addition to farming and raising animals, families tended gardens, and women taught school, did laundry, took in boarders, and sewed and mended clothes to make extra money to buy necessities. It was a di cult way of life, something people should understand and appreciate.

“It was just the reality of the time,” Rucker said.

However, we know that life happens, and yes there is the muck and yuck of life that happens. We have seasons that are more difcult than others and most of the time, that is when we look for quiet solitude and when we allow our emotions to be expressed. It’s OK to feel hurt, angry and upset when necessary, its natural. I am talking more about the everyday attitude we walk around with most of the time.

Benchmark Theatre explores gun rights

COMING ATTRACTIONS

The issue of gun rights is one that almost everyone has an opinion about and has the rare distinction of being one that is literally costing lives as more and more time goes on.

All of this makes tackling guns on the stage no easy feat. But those are just the kinds of stories LakeBenchmark eatre, 1560 Teller St., lives to tell. And that’s what they’re doing with the world premiere of “Jeremiah.”  e show runs through Saturday, Sept. 2. Performances are at 8 p.m. ursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Written by Tami Canaday and directed by Kate Poling, the show follows four young men (Brandon Billings, Nate Cushing, James Giordano and Kaden Hinkle) who get

enmeshed in a situation involving a gun.

We spoke to Poling about the show, the cast and more.

Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

What drew you to the production?

e challenge of exploring toxic masculinity and gun culture in a way that everyone in the audience can hopefully relate to. I think theatre can shine a light on issues in really powerful ways, and the opportunity to narrow a wide-ranging and hot-button topic to a slice of life in Aurora was a fascinating and enticing challenge.

Tell me about working with the cast?

Because this is a world premiere, we are developing these characters without precedent, and it’s been wonderful to work with a group of actors who are nding the humanity of these characters. It would be easy to create stereotypical characters, and I think my cast has done an excellent job of cutting through that to

FREEDOM. TO BE YOU.

MKT-P0240

create fully rounded characters. Every character is both hero and villain, and, hopefully, the audience will nd a connection to each of them.

With a topic as challenging as the one covered in “Jeremiah,” how do you go about addressing it?

I think approaching the topic with understanding is the key. While I have my opinions about guns and gun control, the only way to tell a story that doesn’t alienate people is to re ect and understand all sides, and let those sides be re ected within the play.

What do you hope audiences come away with?

I hope every audience member sees themselves re ected in some way. I hope they have a conversation about guns. No matter what side of the gun debate they might be on, I hope every person can connect to the story being told in a way that maybe opens their mind just a little bit. If people are still thinking about this show the next day, I feel like we’ve done our job.

1. Name the movie that included “Secret Surfin’ Spot” and “Swingin’ and Surfin’” in the musical lineup.

2. Who wrote the melody behind “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh”?

3. What do The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and Starship have in common?

4. Who wrote and released “Peppermint Twist”?

NOW HERE’S A TIP

* Glitter cleanup can be a hassle. Here’s my tip for getting it up quickly with no mess left behind: Use play dough. Just press it into the stray glitter and it will pick it right up. en you’ve created glitter dough! Oh, your kids will be impressed. Here are some more kid tips. -- JoAnn

* Can’t seem to part with those baby blankets now that the kids are not babies anymore? Don’t! Sew them into oor pillow covers and watch the kids get a few more years out of them.

* My daughter is old enough to play on our street with her friends, but not necessarily old enough for a cellphone. Instead, we repurposed a set of walkie talkies. Her boundary is in walkie talkie range, and we can communicate. Plus, it’s just fun! -- T.F. in Maryland

* Our friends who live in an apartment have a great storable sandbox solution. ey use a plastic under-the-bed storage bin lled with sand and toys. It has a lid and can be stored easily on

their balcony. e kids still get to play in the sand even on rainy days. -- W. in Kentucky

* I saw this idea in a magazine somewhere, and now I make them for other moms and dads, as they are cute and functional: Make a cell number beaded bracelet your kids can wear when you go out. Little kids may not remember Mommy’s cellphone number, but they can bring the bracelet to a store employee and ask him or her to call the number on the bracelet. Use elastic thread and colorful number beads. -- P.S. in Oregon * If you use a 1/4-inch hole punch, which you can get at a hardware store for cheap, you easily can make a straw hole in the plastic tops of kids’ single serving drinks, like milk and water bottles. Less chance of a spill.

FLASHBACK

Answers

1. “Beach Party,” in 1963, starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. There were seven beach films over the years.

2. Allan Sherman’s 1963 parody about a boy writing a letter home from camp was put to the music of Ponchielli’s “Dance of the Hours,” written in 1876. Several other works have also borrowed from that music, including Disney cartoons.

3. Grace Slick sang lead in all the groups.

4. Joey Dee and the Starliters in 1961. The early ‘60s saw dozens of “twist” songs, but this one topped the charts.

5. “On the Street Where You Live,” by Jeremy Brett in the 1964 film “My Fair Lady,” based on George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 stage play “Pygmalion.” Jeremy Brett’s song was actually dubbed by Bill Shirley, as Brett couldn’t sing.
