Among the people chosen by Douglas County commissioners to help them find their next public health solution are a local town council member, a former mayor, a health department attorney and a one-time leader of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Seven of the 11 appointees have had greater or lesser professional ties to a health-related field, with almost all of that experience coming from the business and administration side. None of the appointees has a hands-on medical background.

The board, formally created in an Aug. 10 meeting, will provide input to the commissioners regarding their future public health services.

The board plans to have an initial recommendation by the end of the year.

The committee will “assist in evaluating the feasibility of transitioning to an independent, local public health agency for Douglas County,” according to the group’s bylaws.

The commissioners have been considering leaving their current

Vaccine Sunday comes to Dos Amigos in Castle Rock Julissa Soto works statewide to educate, help Latinos get vaccinated

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an effort to raise awareness about the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine and reach the Latino community, Julissa Soto has started hosting Vaccine Sundays statewide.

On Aug. 26, Soto will bring Vaccine Sundays to Dos Amigos Mexican Grill in Castle Rock. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. those getting vaccinated can get a $100 gift card for either the first or second dose of the vaccination. Dos Amigos is located at 745 Wilcox St. Soto, a bilingual health equity consultant, said she believes more education needs to be out there to encourage residents, especially Latinos, to get vaccinated.

According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, 3.5 million Coloradans are fully vaccinated, about 65% of those eligible. However, Hispanics are lagging behind, making up only 11.5% of all those vaccinated.

When asked how the process has been going, Soto said “frustrating.” Soto said she is working to make education outreach part of the weekly ministry at local churches across the Denver metro area and the state.

Soto said she has been surprised

the county’s current COVID-19 trends. The vaccines are effective, most of the vulnerable are vaccinated, and breakthrough cases are overemphasized, Laydon said.

“Kids don’t have any resilience left,” he said. “There’s nothing left in the tank after this many months.”

While some community members called for an end to masking, others are urging mandates.

One public speaker said she believes masks should be required but also promised to respect people who feel differently. Another woman likened face masks to wearing a seatbelt. One commenter said both her children are vaccinated and still masking when they go to school, urging universal masking.

Kevin DiPasquale, president of the local teachers union Douglas County Federation, said the dis-

at how reluctant many churches are in letting her come in to provide “valuable” information to help in a public health crisis.

During her visits to churches, Soto said she provides trusted, vetted information about COVID-19 and the vaccination.

Wanting to reach the Latino community, Soto said she also provides the information in Spanish, educating all about the symptoms and issues associated with COVID. As a guest at churches, Soto said, she thinks it is important to talk about good infection prevention habits, including proper hand-washing techniques.

Soto teaches infection control strategies during Mass, like reminding people to stay home if they feel ill or are starting to feel ill. She also posts fliers and reminders of healthful habits, including “cover your cough” and “stop the spread of COVID-19.” Soto disseminates information regarding vaccine sites in the community, and answers questions related to myths of COVID-19.

As part of her community outreach, Soto hosted a Vaccine Sunday at Durango’s Barber Shop and Fresh Cuts in Colorado Springs in early August, with 249 Latino immigrants getting the vaccination.

Soto, an immigrant herself, said it is important during the pandemic to reach marginalized communities, and to show up in a culturally relevant way is extremely important. To contact Soto about Vaccine Sundays, email her at julissamolinasoto@gmail.com. trict should require masks amid the delta variant’s spread and to protect in-person learning. The delta variant is now the dominant strain of coronavirus in the U.S. and is highly transmissible.

Douglas County’s seven-day incidence rolling average rate of COVID-19 cases has been steadily rising since early July, while the 14-day incident rate sat at 215 as of Aug. 12.

“Masks enable our schools to remain open five days a week. We all agree that students deserve this consistency,” DiPasquale said.

“Making connections with students is key to improving academics, as well as social-emotional growth in schools.”

DiPasquale said members of the teachers union expressed the most interest in mask mandates at the elementary level, among students who are ineligible for the vaccine because of their age.

“With the delta variant doing what it’s doing, it makes sense to wear masks to mitigate safety risk for everyone involved,” he said.

Camps welcome kids with chronic illnesses Children’s Hospital Colorado joins with ranch in Gypsum

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For children with chronic illness, regular summer activities such as camp, athletics and getting outdoors can be next to impossible. For the young patients at Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHC), an annual camp is making it possible to feel some normalcy when school is out.

For the last 15 years, CHC has partnered with Roundup River Ranch (RRR) in Gypsum. The partnership has created a camp location for patients with serious medical conditions, such as cancer, heart or kidney transplants, sickle cell disease, and/or chronic GI conditions, to attend a free, medically supported summer camp.

Over the last six years, Lillian Moats of Highlands Ranch has attended the camp either in person or, during COVID, virtually over the last two summers.

When Lillian was 7, she was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Even though she needed extra rest and requires a restricted diet, Lillian was able to start going toEvergreenArtsWeek_half_horiz2.pdf RRR in fourth grade.

Lillian Moats started attending the annual camp hosted by Children’s Hospital Colorado and Roundup River Ranch after being COURTESY PHOTO diagnosed with a kidney disease when she was 7 years old.

socially and emotionally. They get to a place where diet and medication is not the center of attention.

Instead, CHC nurses and doctors,

who volunteer each year, have it all covered.

“I get to go to this camp and relax,” Lillian said. “I do not have to stress about medications and diet because there are doctors there to take care of it. I meet so many new friends and enjoy talking and dancing. This camp makes it possible for kids to not stress about their medical condition for a short time.”

In 2017, Lillian received a lifechanging transplant when her father gave her his kidney. Since then, the now high-school junior has been able to join more school sports programs and become a more active teenager. However, Lillian said she still participates in RRR camp, and because of what the camp did for her when she was sick, she has become a program ambassador.

For parents, Carly Moats admitted the first year she sent Lillian was stressful, but she quickly learned RRR made a big difference in their lives, noting that her daughter came home happy and telling non-stop stories about all the fun she had.

“It’s an amazing opportunity for children with limitations,” Carly said. “When (Lillian) was first diagnosed, we were introduced to this camp. We were not ready to let her go. We eventually got to a point where we would leave her knowing she would be well taken care of.”

Carly said there is no way her

family could have afforded or risked having Lillian attend a regular summer camp. What CHC has provided is not only respite for parents, but a place where her daughter made lifetime friendships and memories and found a place to feel normal, Carly said.

Rippe said besides providing a space for CHC patients to feel normal, RRR is a service where parents can get peace of mind and be happy for their children.

“This camp is a vital part of these kids’ lives,” she said. “For parents, knowing their children are being taken care of is impor-

tant. The kids are going to a place where they can talk openly about their illness with other children who understand. That is a different experience than what they get going to school or being at home.”

Chihiro Ishii, of Fort Collins, has attended the RRR camp for the last five years. Ishii, 16, has undergone a major heart surgery and continues to get treatment for a congenital heart defect. Ishii has physical limitations that prevent her from doing normal summer activities.

With a love for arts and crafts and music, Chihiro said RRR has given her the opportunity to meet other kids who have been diagnosed with the same condition.

Ishii said she takes two shots per day and continually takes medicine required after heart surgery. The only reason she can attend RRR camp is because nurses and doctors understand and manage her medical needs.

This year, attending the camp virtually, Ishii said she enjoyed it because she got to share her musical talents with other camp goers

from all over the state. Ishii plays the viola.

Rippe said CHC is part of a network of summer camps for children with chronic illness. In total, there are 30 camps held each summer nationwide. Rippe said the camps are all about providing an opportunity for children with life-limiting conditions.

Annual camp is hosted for children between the ages of 7 and 17.

It is traditionally held in person, and Rippe said they did not want campers to be left out through the pandemic. CHC worked to create “Camp in a Box”, which she described as delivering joy to campers’ front door.

The boxes included supplies to do a variety of activities with camp guides online. While Lillian admitted virtual camp was not as fun as in person, it still gave her the opportunity to see friends and new campers.

Rippe said because some campers still struggle to do camp in person, CHC will work to maintain certain aspects of the virtual program they created during the

Census Bureau: Douglas County grew by 25.4% over decade New data show rapid growth in the county

The population of Douglas County grew by 25.4% between 2010 and 2020, making it the third-fastestgrowing county in Colorado.

That’s according to redistricting data released Aug. 12 by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Douglas County’s population rose to 357,978 last year, up from 285,465 a decade earlier, the Census Bureau said. Douglas is the seventh-most-populous county in Colorado, behind El Paso, home to Colorado Springs (730,395); Denver (715,522); Arapahoe (655,070), Jefferson (582,910); Adams (519,572); and Larimer (359,066).

The county’s growth rate was much higher than the 14.8% growth rate of Colorado as a whole.

The new census data also showed that Douglas County in 2020 had a housing unit vacancy rate of 4.3%, tied with Jefferson and Adams counties for the lowest rates in Colorado and well below the state average of 9.4%. Neighboring Elbert County was close behind with a vacancy

rate of 4.4%.

Statewide, the fastest-growing county between 2010 and 2020 was Broomfield, with a 32.6% growth rate, the new numbers show. Broomfield ranked No. 30 among the nation’s fastest growing counties.

That was followed by Weld County (30.1%), Douglas County (25.4%), lightly-populated Mineral County (21.5%), Larimer County (19.8%), Denver County (19.2%), Adams County (17.7%), El Paso County (17.4%), Arapahoe County (14.5%)

and Elbert County (12.9%).

Meanwhile, 15 of Colorado’s 64 counties lost population over the 10-year period, led by Kit Carson County, with a loss rate of 14.3%.

The Census Bureau released the first local-level results from its 2020 census to give Colorado and other states the data they need to redraw the boundaries of congressional and legislative election districts. In Colorado, that process is under way by twin newly-established independent commissions.

Centennial Water systems in good shape Highlands Ranch not impacted by recent water alert

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Peter Bong, water/wastewater superintendent for Centennial Water, explains the process used to purify water for Highlands Ranch PHOTO BY THELMA GRIMES residents.

Earlier this month when an emergency alert went out warning residents of a boil-water advisory, there was plenty of confusion over which residents were impacted.

The Aug. 4 alert, which broadcast over parts of the entire Denver metro area, had some Highlands Ranch residents worried E. Coli had been found in the local water system through regular quality testing.

The boil-water advisory was specifically for Englewood water customers. Centennial Water officials said they quickly worked to reassure 100,000 Highlands Ranch customers that their water system was not contaminated.

On June 12, parts of Castle Pines were also placed under a boil-advisory after the loss of a chlorine injector and the loss of pressure in the distribution made the water system vulnerable to contamination.

While a sigh of relief could be felt in Highlands Ranch for not being part of either advisory, Centennial Water officials said they still took a hard look at their testing procedures SEE WATER, P9

A tank at the Centennial Water plant works to clean out a filter, a process done daily for all tanks.

Sam Calkins, director of operations for Centennial Water, explains that all water processing is under PHOTOS BY THELMA GRIMES constant surveillance, making them ready for any kind of emergency.

to make sure everything was in order.

The good news, said Sam Calkins, Centennial Water director of operations, is that there are so many state and federal mandates in place that he is confident Highlands Ranch water sup-

plies are of the highest-rated standards.

Making sure of that are Water/Wastewater Superintendent Peter Bong and Lab Supervisor Nick Marusin. During a tour of the water plant near C-470 in Highlands Ranch, Bong explained that daily filters and attention to detail keep local customers safe.

Bong said Centennial Water, which serves only High-

lands Ranch, gets surface water supplies from Plum Creek, Dad Clark Gulch and the South Platte River.

Centennial’s raw water storage reservoirs are from the South Platte Reservoir, McLellan Reservior and the Chatfield Reservoir.

Bong said about 85% of all water pumped to residents is from snowmelt. He estimated the remaining 15% each year comes from

groundwater supplies. In the winter, Centennial Water pumps about 7 million gallons per day to customers. In summer, water increases to about 30 million gallons.

No matter how much water is pumped through to customers, Calkins said staff monitors quality, controls and procedures 24/7. Calkins said someone is always sitting at the desk monitoring equipment and systems. There is always six employees on call, meaning they can address any issue at the water plant within 30 minutes, he said.

In the lab, Marusin said, his team is continuously testing water supplies for any kind of contaminant.

Monthly, Marusin said, the lab collects 100 samples, which leads to hundreds of tests that follow state and federal regulations.

Marusin said technicians test the water for any kind of contaminant, including chlorine, E. coli, copper, lead and organic components.

“Constant monitoring is a critical thing when you’re making product for consumption,” Bong said. “It is critical that we constantly monitor and test our water.”

While the recent water issues made them take a look at operations at the water plant, located off C-470 in Highlands Ranch, Calkins said it will continue to be business as usual.

Aurora council wants Tri-County to stay together Mayor says split would be costly for taxpayers

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Douglas County decides whether it will break up with its health department, the City of Aurora — some of which is included in that county — has come out and said it opposes the idea.

Aurora, which stretches across Adams and Arapahoe counties as well, is currently served by TriCounty Health Department in all three of those jurisdictions.

“Douglas County taxpayers, Aurora being part of it, are going to be paying more for this decision without getting better service,” Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman said.

“I just think it’s a mistake and I hope they reconsider.”

Coffman said in the Aug. 9 city council meeting that he thinks the single health department for three counties provides economies of scale, reducing the burden on taxpayers, and that there is a “greater depth of experience” in a large organization like Tri-County.

In a letter to the Aurora City Council, Douglas County commissioners rebutted those claims.

“Part of the stated rationale for that draft resolution is that there are economies of scale and that

health improvement plan. They also formed an 11-member citizen Public Health Advisory Committee to provide citizen input on the matter. The county plans to have an initial recommendation from the committee on steps forward by the end of 2021.

“At this time all options are on the table to provide the best health services to our residents,” according to the commissioners’ letter. “Any input Aurora wishes to provide for its Douglas County residents is welcome.”

The Aurora resolution voiced support for the health department, pointing to its work during the pandemic and its board of health’s structure. “(Tri-County’s) Board of Health, composed of three commissionerappointed representatives from each of the three member counties, and (Tri-County), recognizing the diverse needs of each of the three member counties, tailored public health policies to maximize health benefits in each county,” the resolution said.

Coffman echoed that sentiment during his meeting comments.

“I really appreciate all that they did to bring us to the point where we are now and I think it would be a big mistake to break them apart,” he said.

The council approved the resolution with only one member, Marsha Berzins, voting no.

STEM FROM PAGE 1

District charter school had 29 open positions heading into summer.

At the end of the 2020 school year, STEM had 22 open positions. In 2019, there were 31 vacancies. Altogether, the charter school has 175 employees.

Calling it a busy summer, Nicole Bostel, director of communications for the charter school, said STEM was able to fill all but two full-time teaching positions in math and engineering. The math position will continue to have a long-term substitute who has experience in teaching, Bostel said. The qualified teacher did not want a full-time contract, Bostel said.

The second position, Bostel said, is a secondary engineering position that remains open until filled. In the

STEM School Highlands Ranch returned to classes, starting the 2021-22 school year. After staffing shortfalls last year, the charter school has filled most posiCOURTESY PHOTO tions.

meantime, the class is being taught by an in-house substitute teacher who is working with the other engineering teachers to get students started, Bostel said.

“We are screening candidates for that position and hope to have that

filled soon,” she said.

Many STEM parents have expressed frustration over teachers leaving the school, the site of a deadly May 7, 2019, shooting.

During a virtual meeting on June 15, dozens of STEM parents expressed frustration about teacher turnover and with the leadership of school Executive Director Penny Eucker. A few weeks before that, a letter from more than 400 “concerned parents and community members” to the school’s board, citing turnover and teacher dissatisfaction, called for Eucker’s removal, CPR News reported.

Bostel said some changes were made this year, including a review of the master schedule to make sure staffing levels are tied to school enrollment. Bostel said this assures the school is not overstaffed.

Over the summer, Bostel said, more focus was placed on the teacher-support program, which is

part of the school’s strategic plan.

“That was in the works throughout the last school year,” Bostel said.

“We took the summer months to hire for those positions and to also develop and launch that program during our Professional Development week.”

In the program, Bostel said, STEM has a four-person team that is headed up by Director of Professional Development Michelle Gasser. If needed, Bostel said a fifth member will be added to the support team in the future.

Eucker, in her ninth year at STEM, is in the final year of a threeyear contract. Eucker’s renewal is up for discussion at the end of the current school year.

While it is common for charter schools to have a higher teacher turnover rate than regular public schools, teachers have continually raised concerns with the rate teachers have left since 2019.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks to open space director Cheryl Matthews, Douglas County’s Director of Open Space and Natural Resources since 2001, recently announced her retirement.

Under Cheryl’s leadership the program is noted as one of the most cost effective and well managed open space programs in the country.

Since 1994 the county has preserved 63,037 acres of the most beautiful Colorado landscape.

Operating with the lowest open space sales tax within the Front Range counties she managed a department with a staff 10% the size of other counties. For every $1 used for preserving open lands her department has found funding partners to match that $1 to the amount of $2.92 This means funding partners have infused $149 million of matching funds into the county.

Check out these open space properties and trails that you can access in Douglas County: Bayou Gulch, Colorado Front Range Trail, Columbine, Greenland, Iron Horse, Spruce Meadows, Spruce Mountain, Dawson Butte, Glendale, Hidden Mesa, Lincoln Mountain, Sharptail, Ringtail and Swallowtail.

and shops. As I was waiting to pay for a parking space, the woman in front of me turned around and she had the word “Empowered” on her shirt. I took the leap and asked her what the shirt was about. She shared that she was at a conference recently for her company and that the word “Empowered” was the theme for their event. And that it was one of her very favorite words. It’s one of mine too.

Many years ago, I happened to be traveling back from an event in Las Vegas. I was representing Zig Ziglar at that conference and I was wearing the Ziglar logo on my dress shirt.

There was a glitch somewhere in the system that created a problem for many travelers, me included. The line began to get agitated, and frustration boiled over.

At this point in my career, I had traveled more than a million miles.

And I just occupied my time reading and checking my phone knowing that there was nothing I could do other than patiently wait it out. A few groups around me were fanning

the flames of frustration and looking for sympathizers for the misery loves company club. One woman looked at me and said something about how awful the situation was and wondered why I wasn’t upset.

Then she looked at the Zig Ziglar logo on my shirt. Then in a slightly condescending tone said, “Well you have to act calm and be positive, it’s what your company is all about.” My reply was straightforward and sincere as I shared with her that it was not just about the logo, it was about the message behind the logo.

I also shared that I was frustrated too, but at that point all I could do was decide how I wanted to respond and how I could best use my time.

Complaining was simply counterproductive. Although she somewhat dismissed my reply, I noticed others around us begin to pick up their book, open their laptop, or take out a magazine to occupy their time.

One gentleman walked up to me and said something that was so meaningful to me. He told me that Mr. Ziglar would be proud that I rep-

resented his brand so well. Honestly, I had not thought about it that way when I made my comments. Until the woman called the logo into question, I had forgotten I was even wearing it.

Whether we are wearing any type of clothing with a message or logo on it or not, our actions and words speak volumes about who we are and what our brand is as a person. Our actions and words could also very easily characterize the type of company we work for and the corporate culture we represent.

What do people see when they see you? How do you handle yourself when challenges arise? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can remember that our brand is more than just the message or logo on our clothing, it really will be a better than good week.

Watch marketplace to invest appropriately

S

ummer is coming to an end.

The kids are going back to school, and we feel the year slipping away. We are well into the third quarter, and many investors FINANCIAL are amazed at how resilient the STRATEGIES stock market has been. This tends to cause some to worry about what is yet to come.

My readers know by now that when I write about investing, it is in the context of your Patricia Kummer financial plan. This allows you to focus on your dreams and fears and ignore the vast amount of media hype that could concern you. Still, the economic environment impacts us all, and uncertainty can bring indecision if we lose our focus.

Our mid-year economic outlook was recently posted, and this information can help calm some investor fears and provide guidance. Your advisor is trained to help you navigate economic changes as well as help you take advantage of certain opportunities.

Our Chief Economist Bill Greiner states that the first half of the year,

we had real GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth of 6.5%, but inflation also is on the rise and could increase to 3.5%. We are looking for a more comprehensive reopening of the economy to support this growth as well.

The investment outlook based on fundamentals remains positive.

This includes economic and earnings trends, Fed policy and interest rates. Valuations that measure how expensive stocks are remain neutral with a positive dividend yield when compared to interest rates.

The technical price trends are also positive. In addition to these metrics, we also like to keep a list of the current “Wall of Worry” items to help keep investors’ perspectives in line.

It appears that investors worry more about the headlines such as: new strains of coronavirus; inflation; fiscal and monetary policy; peak economic data and regulatory risks. What we advisors are watching is deeper than just the recent headlines. We monitor: economic growth; employment; corporate earnings; and interest rates. The wild cards are geopolitical risks in Russia, China and Iran.¹ We consider these types of risks by how much probability there is for a negative occurrence and how much it affects

our markets.

So, how do you build a portfolio around these concerns and economic backdrop? First, review your financial plan, time frame, needs and wants with your advisor. Make sure you have proper diversification and not too much overlap.

Then, seek the right amount of income and growth for your situation and design a strategy to manage tax efficiency and risk. Now it is time to implement this custom portfolio and watch the marketplace to invest appropriately.

You can also review forward-looking trends to help determine where the next opportunity might be and consider working with your advisor on whether it makes sense for you to invest a portion of the portfolio for the future. Once you have a solid plan in place, headlines will be a small part of your concerns. You will be able to focus on improving your situation and perhaps even start building a legacy.

Jay Sage Highlands Ranch Hit brakes on commissioners’ plan Regarding the July 22 article, “County seeks volunteers to advise on public health,” I note that Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties have been members of the Tri-County Health Department since 1966. Douglas County commissioners say they want to leave the group “for increased local control.”

My conservative side says slam on the brakes. We are part of a seasoned professional health care cooperative that has worked for more than 50 years. I cannot help but conclude the problem is with Douglas County commissioners, not the Tri-County Health Department.

I would guess from a tax burden perspective it is more efficient to belong to Tri-County than to create and maintain a new Douglas County Health Department. Is there any possibility the commissioners have a political motivation?

I believe it was wise (yes, pun intended) of Superintendent Wise to pause the contract with Gemini Group.

While the Gemini consultants express dismay and disgust that parents are “demanding we not talk about race,” I don’t think they realize that is not the issue. We can’t teach American history without talking about racism. The real concern is over the extent at which these consultants want to dismantle systems, as F.A.I.R. co-leader Will Johnson reported hearing from his own workshop attendance.

With the growing rise of tensions over the true background of CRT, Americans have good reason to pause. Do we want to divide people simply because of the color of their skin? What do we mean by “systemic racism” when more laws than ever try to prevent racism in employment and education and housing? Do we want the current generation to feel perpetual guilt over the sins of our fathers? Or is there a way to be honest about our past without laying the heavy burden of unwarranted shame that can cloud our future?

LIFE Metro area offers lesser-known historical sites

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The grave of Richard Whitsitt in Riverside Cemetery features an angel statue with a broken arm.

PHOTOS BY ELLIOTT WENZLER

Many headstones in the Riverside Cemetery show family members buried near each other.

hile the Denver metro area is dotted with wellknown aging ranches and charming historical homesteads, some history lovers of the area may be in search of a different kind of site — one they either haven’t heard of before or that they must romp through the woods to access.

In search of these types of unusual history sites, one place to look is the National Register of Historic Places.

For each of the counties that surround Denver — not to mention all the counties in the United States — this register provides a list of historically significant sites, some of which are unique or little-known sites.

Some of these sites, like an abandoned, rattlesnake-ridden military amphitheater in Golden, aren’t available for public access.

Others, like Native American shelters in Douglas County, have a restricted location to protect them from being disturbed.

But some on the list are simply often-overlooked historical sites in the area.

The list includes bridges, farms, schools, archaeological sites and more and offers new discoveries for residents curious about all the nooks and crannies of their community’s history.

Here are a few of the Denver area’s hidden history gems from the National Register of Historic Places and beyond.

Pioneer graves in Commerce City Did you know that Denver’s oldest cemetery is mostly in Commerce City?

Riverside Cemetery, located a half-mile north of I-70 at 5201 Brighton Boulevard, was built in 1876 and registered with the national register in 1994.

While the 77-acre cemetery is surrounded by industrial properties, the cemetery itself serves as a peaceful resting place for many of Colorado’s pioneers. One afternoon in August, the giant cemetery stood mostly quiet and empty save for a few birds.

The gravesite serves as the final resting place for three of Colorado’s governors — John Evans, Samuel Elbert and John Routt. Pioneers buried there include Augusta Tabor, a Gold Rush pioneer; Barney Ford, who escaped from slavery; and Silas Soule, an abolitionist and soldier who testified against Col. John Chivington and the Colorado Cavalry after the Sand Creek Massacre and was then assassinated in the streets of Denver.

Throughout the cemetery there are dozens of unique headstones, including a log cabin replica, a giant horse sculpture, several large angel figures and a statue

of a man buried there.

An online tour brochure of the cemetery guides drivers and walkers through the historic site, which is still open for new burials. The brochure tells the stories of several of the people buried there and provides general information about the cemetery. The informational pamphlet is available at www.

FriendsofRiversideCemetery. org/visit-riverside.

A nonprofit that helps preserve the cemetery, Friends of Historic Riverside Cemetery, accepts donations to help maintain the property, which they say is “in a state of rapid decline.”

Some may notice that many of the trees on the property have died and the ground cover is mostly weeds and native grass.

“Over the fall and winter of 2008-2009, several dead trees fell and damaged nearby monuments and a historic private mausoleum,” according to the nonprofit’s website. “Many more were taken down to manage this risk, but additional trees are in danger of falling during future storms or periods of strong winds.”

The driveable and walkable cemetery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Walking among mammoths in Douglas County While many have heard of Dinosaur Ridge near Morrison, there’s more than one significant archaeological site in the area.

Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve in Douglas County is a less well-known site but it has the highest concentration of d mammoth remains in the state. Itm l also offers free tours.

“You can go on the site and see t where they were,” said Cameron t Randolph, vice chair of the pre- T serve’s board of directors.

In 1960, Charles Lamb was ex- t panding a pond fed by a natural e spring on his property when he came upon several large bones a that were later identified as Co- n 1 lumbian Mammoth remains.

S After several excavations of the site, archaeologists found the w remains of at least five mammoths but there could be up to 30 t mammoths that died at the site. p During its life, an adult male d Columbian Mammoth could grow up to 14 feet high at its shoulder. Other remains found on the site include Ice Age horses, camels, sloths and bison.

There’s also evidence that the site was used by prehistoric people in the area as a hunting site.

If confirmed with more research, that would put humans in that area 2,000 years earlier than previously thought, Rudolph said.

Today, the site is 35 acres of protected land between Roxborough Park and Sterling Ranch. It was added to the national register in 1997.

Free tours of the site are available on the first Saturday of each month during much of spring, summer and fall. Visitors can see where the remains were SEE HISTORICAL, P15

Eventually, the organization hopes to have a museum on the site of the excavation, Rudolph said.

The preserve will also host tours and demonstrations as part of International Archaeological Day on Oct. 16 in coordination with Roxborough State Park.

Visit a castle near Morrison For those history lovers who yearn for a workout before their history lesson, there’s Castle Trail in Morrison’s Mount Falcon Park.

The 6.7-mile, nearly 2,000-foot elevation gain loop trail leads hikers to the castle ruins of one of Denver’s early settlers and one of the area’s interesting historical characters: John Brisben Walker.

In the park are both Walker’s stone mansion, destroyed by a fire, and the cornerstone of a nevercompleted home that Walker hoped would be a summer White House for the U.S. presidents.

Born in 1847, Walker ended up in Denver 32 years later after having served as a general in the Chinese army, running for Congress, win-

ning and losing a fortune and managing two newspapers, according to Morrison Historical Society.

Once in Denver, he dabbled in agriculture and made himself a new fortune before going on to develop River Front Park, an amusement park that also held Denver’s first rodeo. He made a series of other purchases including Governor Evans’ “Swiss Cottage” in Morrison and all of what is now Red Rocks Park and Mount Falcon.

After a few years away from Colorado — during which time he bought the then-failing Cosmopolitan magazine, later sold it to William Randolph Hearst and also sponsored the first automobile race in the United States — Walker returned to Morrison in the early 20th century.

From there, Walker began working on developing the area, building

a road into town, adding a tea house and constructing hiking trails. He also built a railway to the top of Mount Morrison, making it the longest cog railway in the world at the time.

During this “period of enthusiasm” Walker also dreamed up the idea of a permanent summer home for U.S. presidents, according to the historical society. Construction began on top of Mount Falcon and the cornerstone was laid, but before it could be completed, the finances dried up and the project fizzled.

Nearby, Walker built his home, a stone mansion that was destroyed by fire in 1918.

Walker, by then a widower with a son, moved to Brooklyn and then died in 1931. Today, the remains of his home and his dream of a summer White House remain for visitors to see in Mount Falcon Park.

Cultural venues come back to life Events provide plenty to do around Denver metro area

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While there are so many that it takes quite a while, opening my daily emails is really a happy occupation these days, as I hear from theater companies, orchestras, dance companies, galleries, arts centers and more, with announcements of future plans for exhibits, plays, concerts ...

Littleton’s Western Welcome Week, which wraps up Aug. 22, will close with a concert by the Littleton Symphony at Hudson Gardens.

(Free, but it’s necessary to have a ticket — the orchestra hope you will choose to make a $10 donation. To do so, choose the $10 ticket.) Longtime conductor Jurgen de Lemos, who is soon to step down, will conduct a couple more concerts for the orchestra, as it seeks a successor.

The Aug. 22 repertoire will include “Finlandia” by Sibelius; Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances, Williams: March from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and more. See littletonsymphony.org.

Littleton Town Hall Arts Center will open its new season with “The Fantasticks,” the longest-running production in American theater, on Sept. 17, while Highlands Ranchbased Performance Now Theatre Company starts off with the award-

Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center is scheduled to open its new season with “The FantasFILE PHOTO BY SCOTT GILBERT ticks” starting Sept. 17.

winning “Drowsy Chaperone” at the Lakewood Cultural Center from Sept. 10-26, followed by “Nunsense” in January 2022.

The Cherry Creek Arts Festival, which has been a July 4 weekend arts-oriented fixture, didn’t happen last year, like most of the rest of our favorites, but will reappear Sept. 4-6

this year in a 30th season, giving local and out-of-state artists a chance to exhibit their creations. There may be some startling new work out there reflecting our conflicted times.

Lone Tree Arts Center has a new director and is busy scheduling events which will include concerts by the Lone Tree Symphony and Chorale, as well as national acts like Michael Martin Murphey, Smokey Robinson, Taj Mahal and the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company. Check their constantly growing website for more programming, including some wonderful National Geographic Live treasures like “Wild Seas, Secret Shores.” Box office hours: MondayFriday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., 720-509-1000.

PACE, Parker’s usually busy arts center, has a new art exhibit, “Expressions of Interior Life,” with works from Vail International Gallery, featuring Russian artists, plus the German Ulrich Gleitner who trained in Russia at St. Petersburg’s Repin Academy and American painter Don Sahli, who has lived

and worked in Russia, apprenticed with Russian artist Sergei Bongart and trained in the Russian School of Colorism. Rose Frederick is the PACE Art Center curator, who made arrangements for this exhibit. The center box office and gallery are open Noon to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday at present, 303-805-6800.

Curtis Center for the Arts, at 2349 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, also has an exhibit called “All-Colorado” right now and is a really sweet spot for art lovers to visit. It wil next host an exhibit by the Watercolor Society of Colorado, called “Exploration in Watermedia,” running Sept. 4 through Oct. 30, which should be a “don’t miss” on the art lover’s calendar. Curtis director Chris Stevens is busy now with planning the second and hopefully annual “Art on the Green,” an outdoor art fair, with Colorado artists only, next to Curtis in the park, on Sept. 11 and 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

(Food trucks and local musicians will be included, as will a bus tour of local nearby studios.)

Museum of Outdoor Arts’ indoor gallery in Englewood has limited hours at present and MOA is focused on getting its sculpturefilled Marjorie Park up and running at 6331 S. Fiddler’s Green Circle, Greenwood Village, with the “MOA Palooza: Wildflowers in Wonderland,” benefit, featuring music by the Petty Nicks Experience on Aug. 28. (Over 21 only.) Information: moaonline.org.

A bit farther afield: Denver Center Theatre Company will start a season in 2022, with a play series listed and selling now. Vintage Theatre, which performs in Aurora, will present a delayed “Five Guys Named Moe” through Aug. 29 and the Arvada Center stages “I Do! I Do!” Sept. 10 to Oct. 10 on the mainstage. Phamaly Theatre Company presents a bizarre “Alice in Wonderland,” with philosophical caterpillars, we are told, at Su Teatro through Sept. 5, with original music by the Wheelchair Sports Camp!

In 2020, it slowed down to about 25 mph. In 2021, the market spun out of control, hitting 95 mph.

There are several factors contributing to the current market conditions, but mostly, it is the “California problem,” Eisenberg said.

“For a long time, the California problem stayed in California,” Eisenberg said. “But now it is coming to Colorado as people in California are saying ‘hell with it.’ The housing prices are too high, taxes are too high, the cost of living is ridiculous. They are jumping ship and heading to Denver.”

The problem, Eisenberg said, is that Colorado was already falling behind in building enough homes.

Add in a continually growing population and the market becomes a problem, he said.

According to the Denver Metro Real Estate Market Trends Report for July, Colorado’s population increased by about 50,000 people between July 2019 and July 2020.

From 2010 to 2020, the state grew by about 760,000 people, the eighthhighest growth rate in the U.S. Jill Schafer, a member of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR) and agent for Kentwood Real Estate, said there is an incredible lack of inventory across the Denver metro area’s 11-county market, which includes Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson, and Park counties.

It is hard to buy new and existing homes as inventory is scooped up quickly across the Denver metro area.

Schafer said with population increases, local families are being forced to “drive until they find something they can afford.” Schafer explained a ripple effect, using her son as an example. He and his family could no longer afford the increased cost of homes in Denver, which meant driving south. He was lucky to land in Castle Rock, Schafer said, but by the time he moved

in, his home value had already increased by tens of thousands of dollars.

Shawn D., who requested that his last name not be used for workrelated reasons, said his family of five are currently living in a rental home in Highlands Ranch. Shawn said the “insane” housing market along the Front Range has him and his wife questioning their move to Colorado from Florida two years ago.

Shawn said they sold their Florida home for $280,000, making him feel like they had a good down payment and would be fine in moving to Colorado. Instead, they have been met with one letdown after another. Shawn described a market where they get on waiting lists for new housing developments that only become a lost cause.

Shawn, who works in downtown Denver when he is not working remotely, wanted to buy in Highlands Ranch. When that became too difficult, they started driving all over.

Shawn said they have put offers on homes in Castle Rock, Evergreen,

and anywhere else they could in the Denver metro area. They even considered homes in Bailey, which were also overpriced, he said.

Adrian Espinoza, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent in Lakewood, said inventory is the biggest issue for clients looking for a first home, or families and couples looking to upgrade.

Espinoza said on any given day across Front Range, there are 5,000 homes up for sale. In a normal market, he said there should be between 20,000 and 30,000 listings. The lack of inventory cuts options for clients and drives prices higher.

In January, DMAR estimated there were more than 24,000 active listings along the Front Range.

In July, there were just over 3,000 homes up for sale.

A Zillow report estimates home values along the Front Range have increased by an average of 20% from the same time last year. In Douglas County, the median home price is $656,281, a 20.1% increase SEE HOUSING, P19

from 2020. In Jefferson County, the median home price is $584,544, a 21.8% increase. Arapahoe County has the lowest increase, with the median home price of $490,501, a 16.3% increase.

Espinoza said the problem with the reports listing median home prices that seem reasonable is that there is not enough inventory to sustain those numbers. Espinoza said in Castle Rock alone, homes are being scooped up so quickly and above asking, that there are few choices in the $600,000 range.

Espinoza represents Courtnee Lamb in Castle Rock. Trying to sell her current family home to move into a bigger home with extra property has been a nightmare, Lamb said.

“We put our home up for sale and it is at two weeks on the market,” she said. “No one expected that, which means when we are putting contingency offers for homes we want to buy. Sellers do not want to because a bigger cash offer will likely come later.”

Lamb described a market where she and her husband submit an offer $40,000 above asking price one night, only to be outbid by someone offering $80,000 above asking the next morning.

Lamb said they like Castle Rock and want to make sure their children remain in the same school, but the housing market is driving them to look in Elizabeth, Franktown

and Colorado Springs.

Espinoza said he advises his clients to wait if they can, hoping something will become available in the area where families want to live. But he admitted the current market is creating a lot of stress and frustration.

Shawn said one of the most frustrating parts of trying to find a home is that it feels like families like his are no longer welcome in the Denver metro area.

Eisenberg said Shawn is not wrong. As Californians make a lot of money selling their homes and move to Colorado, they have the funds to spend.

“You have really rich people coming to a market where prices are great and spending an extra $80,000 above asking price is no big deal. It means nothing to them,” he said.

As Californians keep moving to Colorado and other states, the housing market is changing, Eisenberg said. That means the drive to affordability for current families means shifting to housing searches farther south in Pueblo or heading out of state to Kansas or Idaho, he said.

Shawn said he signed another one-year lease on his rental home, noting that it came with a 3% increase. In the next year, Shawn said if his family cannot find a suitable home along the Front Range, they will leave the state.

“I definitely feel like I have been priced out of my ability to grow and make this a longtime home,” he said. “If this market stays this way, people are going to leave. It is unhealthy, unstable growth.”

Eisenberg said there are other fac-

tors driving prices and inventory.

Eisenberg said citizens fight growth. They want to preserve open space and push for less housing developments. However, that means not enough homes are going up to stabilize the market, he said.

“The Denver housing market has become one of the most expensive markets in the country,” Eisenberg said. “Politicians want to keep their jobs, so they don’t push for more housing. But the only solution is to build more homes.”

Schafer said another factor is people are staying in the homes they

have. Families see the market and decide to stay put. Older couples who would normally downsize are staying put because they cannot afford the rising cost of a townhome or condo.

Eisenberg said when the average cost of a townhome or condo goes above $350,000 older couples cannot scale down and single young professionals and couples cannot move into the buyer’s market.

In the end, Eisenberg said the reality is current Coloradans will start relocating to places like Boise because it is considered the new Denver.

Volleyball player aims way high Studying astrophysics, trip to Mars are among hopes for athlete

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hollis Hanson is a volleyball player at Douglas County High School in Castle Rock and is an interesting person who is involved in much more than volleyball.

Hanson wants to study astrophysics, visit Mars someday, is writing a paper on special relativity and general relativity and started her own business with her brother Shane.

There might be a better word other that interesting to describe Hanson but for now let’s start with volleyball and her hopes for the upcoming season.

Hanson played in 34 sets last season as a junior middle blocker and had 42 kills, 33 blocks and 15 service aces for the Huskies, who will be trying to follow up on the Huskies’ boys volleyball team that won the state championship last spring under coach Jason Fitzpatrick — who is also Douglas County’s girls volleyball coach.

“We are really hoping to make it to state,” said Hanson. “I’m super excited because we have a couple

first team all-league (Continental) players. That would be Amaris Smith and Caity Clancy. It’s a big goal but I really want to get there.

“The boys put a little bit of pressure on us to keep a winning record for our coach but a little

bit of acceptance too because they were a very physical team with a mastermind behind hitting hard and the court position.

“Now that will be coach Fitzgerald’s thing and we have to step it up with our physical ability and

coming together as a team. That will be the biggest challenge for us.”

Another challenge will be for Hanson to continue to follow astrophysics in whichever college she decides to attend. Right now she is leaning toward Rochester Institute of Technology.

Goalie shifts gears for soccer role Keeper is laid-back off field, but not when in the net

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Michel Agostinho, boys soccer coach at Parker’s Legend High School, describes his 6-foot senior goalkeeper Jaden Robertson as a very humble and quiet individual.

Robertson, however, doesn’t fit the mold of a typical keeper.

Keepers are aggressive and vocal to keep their teammates in front of them organized.

“Off the field I’m definitely not super outstanding,” said Robertson. “I kind of stay in my own lane and do what I need to do as the day goes by.

“But I understand my position and my role a lot better. I know that I need to communicate and really kind of guide my team from the back and help set them up.”

Agostinho said Robertson is “a quiet leader but

when he gets in between the pipes he changes. He is very humble and likable. He definitely shows up in big games.”

Robertson was 6-1 with a 1.286 goals against average in seven matches last season as a junior during a season that was moved from the fall and didn’t start until March.

And Robertson wasn’t the starting keeper at the start of the spring season.

“We were getting into our tryouts and we were told our season had been delayed which was kind of a slap in the face for me,” recalled Robertson. “It kind of mentally reset me. I took those six or seven months we had in between and I did a lot of skiing which wasn’t a great idea and did a lot of other activities instead of soccer.

“When we came back, I thought I had played good in our preseason but I had obviously kind of shot myself in the foot and let myself get behind the other goalie. I was told I wasn’t starting for the first game of the season.

It really became something that I knew I wanted and I worked hard for it.

“I got my opportunity in the third game and we

Jaden Robertson

ended up winning the game.

It wasn’t a good game for me and I wasn’t starting again but my opportunity came when my opposition got quarantined. I performed to show that I earned that spot.”

Robertson has set goals and is anxious for this season.

“Last year my main improvement point was goal kicks,” he said. “It has really improved and became a lot better. This year it is high balls and catching balls high above my head. My goal is

just judging the flight of the ball and being able to jump through traffic to catch it and prevent a header.

“My goals this season are mostly just win. I want to get better and better each year I play in high school.

My sophomore year wasn’t a horrible year but not one I dreamed of. And then my junior year I was a lot better with a winning record. This year I’m hoping to do even better with a full season and hopefully produce more clean sheets than I have before.”

And being a goalkeeper, Robertson has learned how to accept the bad along with the good.

“It goes both ways,” Robertson explained. “If you get scored on everybody kind of looks towards you because you’re the last man. But if you have a great game and don’t get scored on, then everybody kind of praises you. You kind of have to overcome the bad parts of getting scored on and taking the blame for that to get to the good parts and the celebration.”

appeals to me since I was in third grade when I wanted to go into astronomy,” added Hanson. “I forget what grade I was in but I went to a space camp in Hunstville, Alabama through NASA and that’s when I decided on astrophysics.

Just studying not only why but how the universe works the way it does.”

Mars is another interesting place than Hanson would like to study.

“Just because Mars is a little bit different,” she explained. “I say a little bit different, it’s a lot different. Visiting would be such a cool thing to do, just studying the things we would not necessarily expect.

“Like for example something we weren’t expecting when we sent the rover was the fact that the wind there was so strong that it took out the system in the rover. If a person was to go, we could find out some real cool things, helpful or not.”

She and her brother also found a way to keep busy during the pandemic and be helpful by making and selling pasta under the name of Palmisano Pasta. They still have the business but it does not

have a website because they were concerned it might be considered an actual commercial kitchen.

“It is still up and running,” she said. “My brother and I opened a business making and selling fresh homemade pasta to locals. We started making pasta, gave some to a friend and it was really good.

I guess it was better than they expected it to be.

“We started making and selling homemade pasta from our kitchen and it spread by word of mouth.

A lot of people from all different parts of Colorado asked, like from Salida and we had a couple people from Wyoming were asking for pasta.

“We sort of grew up around pasta,” she continued. “Palmisano Pastas is after my grandmother (Nina Palmisano). She was born and raised in Italy. We sell it by the pound and each pound takes about 20 minutes to make. One of our busier days we made 95 meals, about 23 pounds of pasta. We go and deliver it in the afternoons. It was nice to go and deliver it to get out of the house.”

Besides volleyball, right now Hanson is writing a paper for her IB class.

“I am currently writing a paper on special relativity and general relativity,” she said. “I am writing about time travel.”

Interesting.

Study focuses on bald eagle boom Front Range corridor includes nests of birds once rare in the state

BY KYLE COOKE AND CLARISSA GUY ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

It’s no secret that the human population on Colorado’s Front Range is expanding. State officials predict that in the 10-year range from 2019 to 2029, Colorado will grow by more than 800,000 people, with about 87% of them settling in the Front Range.

More perplexing, however, is that another population is growing in that same densely populated urban corridor: bald eagles.

According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), the whole state of Colorado had just three known bald eagle nests by the end of the 1970s.

Today, the state is home to more than 200 nests — some in “unconventional” locations, like the Front Range.

This could explain why people who frequent Denver’s City Park have become accustomed to seeing bald eagles in the area.

“We know that our population of eagles has increased in this area,” said Reesa Conrey, an avian researcher with CPW. “And we know that our population of humans is also increasingly very rapidly.”

CPW is embarking on a four-year study to learn why these eagles — the national bird of the United States — are settling in urban areas that are often disrupted by construction and other human activity.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies also are participating in the study, which will be the “most comprehensive bald eagle monitoring project ever done by CPW,” according to a news release.

According to CPW officials, Colorado’s eagle population declined in the mid-20th century due to human disturbance, loss of habitat, and DDT, a pesticide that poisoned the birds and made their egg shells extra thin. The egg shells “often broke during incubation or otherwise failed to hatch,” according to the USFWS. DDT was banned in 1972, and the eagle population nationwide rebounded as a result to the point that in 2007, the iconic birds were re-

moved from the endangered species list. (Eagles are still protected under both the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.) Despite all the development on the Front Range since the 1970s, the state has also made it an easier place to settle with the construction of reservoirs.

The first bald eagle nest in the Front Range was established in Barr Lake State Park in Adams County in 1986, Conrey said. Storms destroyed that nest and six others over the course of many years, including a nest in 2021. The eagles are currently rebuilding their nests at Barr Lake.

For this research project, CPW is using GPS transmitters to track the eagles in the northern Front Range.

According to CPW, “results from the monitoring effort will be used to model the bald eagle population trajectory and expected impacts of predicted future land use change. Biologists will then make data-driven recommendations on minimizing and mitigating disturbances of the bald eagle’s environment essential to its survival.”

Researchers hope the data will help them identify ways to preserve and develop ideal eagle habitat in urban areas as well as better understand the birds’ tolerance to human activity.

Conrey said she also hopes the results will help the state give “better recommendations to developers, consultants [and] the general public to make sure that eagles are being managed properly and will continue to be successful here.”

BOARD

MORE QUOTES FROM APPOINTEES’ APPLICATIONS “For me, everything related to public health starts with the family and protecting our family-friendly environment here in Douglas County.” — Luke Niforatos

FROM PAGE 1

agency, Tri-County Health Department, which provides publichealth services to Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams counties, and forming their own health department for about a year. This board, along with a community health assessment and a public health improvement plan, are intended to aid in the process.

“We don’t have any preconceived ideas about what’s going to happen but we’re really reaching out to our community because we want them to advise us on the best steps going forward,” Commissioner Lora Thomas said in the meeting.

Appointees’ backgrounds The 11 board members are: Doug Benevento, Luke Niforatos, Donald Parrot, Kevin Bracken, Jennifer Green, Mark Hampton, Katie Coleman, Kelsey Hall, Mary Beth Vasco, Kimberly Eloe and Katheryn Wille.

Five of the board members are politically active residents, including Benevento, a former school board member in Douglas County; Niforatos, affiliated with a political group focusing on marijuana policies; and Hampton, a leader of a local conservative group, according to the committee members’ applications acquired

by Colorado Community Media.

After his time with CDPHE, Benevento served on the Douglas County School Board as part of the reform-minded movement, which supported vouchers, school choice and pay-for-performance for teachers. He also worked recently as the acting deputy

“With a committee such as this, I hope to acknowledge the feelings that the citizens may be feeling and creating a path forward that builds hope and trust in our community.” — Katheryn Wille “I believe this is a great move to have our own (Douglas County) health department splitting away from Tri-County.” — Mark Hampton “Decisions have been made all over the country based on emotions, with little regard to what works best for one family may not work best for others. I would like to ensure any concerns about freedom, liberty and independence are part of any discussion.”

— Jennifer Green administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Another appointee, Niforatos, is the executive vice president of a national political organization called “Smart Approaches to Marijuana.” The group “envisions a society where marijuana policies are aligned with the scientific understanding of marijuana’s harms,” and has a mission of reducing marijuana use, according to its website.

Bracken, who has served on the Castle Rock Town Council since 2018, has been vocal during the pandemic about his frustrations with Tri-County.

“I argued with the Tri-County Health Department based on the skewed data sets in and isolated information that was provided during these meetings,” he wrote in his application about regular Tri-County meetings regarding COVID-19. “Ultimately, Tri-County Health Department was not interested in adjusting their information, they were only interested in driving their own agenda.”

Bracken has worked as a salesperson for medical equipment and pharmaceuticals in the past and

currently works as a consultant helping hospitals find cost-saving measures, according to his application.

Green, who was Castle Rock’s mayor from 2016 to 2018, was also selected. Now a communications manager, Green wrote in her application that she “would like to ensure that freedom of choice is properly aligned with any decision-making for our community.”

Other board members One of the applicants chosen, Kelsey Hall, wrote in her application that she was “very concerned” about the idea of Douglas County forming its own health department.

“It would be significantly more costly to set up an independent agency so I would like to be sure that the issue is thoroughly studied to ensure that it is the best use of our taxpayer dollars and is necessary to meet the health needs of the community,” Hall wrote.

Hall works as the assistant county attorney for Jefferson County and serves as legal counsel for that county’s health department.

Other board members include Wille, who works as a social and emotional learning contractor for the Douglas County School District; Eloe, who is the manager for physician marketing at Children’s Hospital Colorado; Vasco, an environmental lawyer and emergency manager; and Parrot, the CEO of a health-care consultant firm who once represented Douglas County on Tri-County’s board of health “until that board became dysfunctional,” he wrote in his application.

Each commissioner nominated three board members and then two board members were selected at-large. The county declined to share information with Colorado Community Media on which commissioners selected which committee members. While a county spokesperson confirmed that the decisions were discussed in an Aug. 2 public work session, the minutes from that meeting did not include that information and it was not recorded.

A Colorado Community Media public records request for the more than 50 applications for the committee was denied.

“These are folks that are volunteering their time to help their neighbors, help us solve what has become if not a problem, definitely a real issue here in the community in terms of what is the public health solutions for Douglas County,” Commissioner George Teal said.

The committee’s meetings will be open to the public, with both remote and in-person access.

The first meeting is set to occur before the end of the month and a full schedule with more details is planned to be released on the county’s website at douglas.co.us/ newsroom.
