County commissioners launch info sessions on water proposal Meetings to cover environmental, economic, other impacts of proposal to import from San Luis Valley

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the Douglas County commissioners consider whether or not to spend $20 million of federal funds on a proposal to import water from the San Luis Valley, the county is conducting several public “due

diligence” meetings to learn more about the divisive project.

In the first of these meetings, the Douglas County commissioners on Jan. 18 heard from a representative from Renewable Water Resources, or RWR, the Littleton-based company that submitted the proposal.

According to their proposal, RWR

would pull about 22,000 acre-feet of water per year from 22 to 25 wells in the northern part of the San Luis Valley and would pump the water to the Front Range through a pipeline.

The heavily agricultural San Luis Valley is in south central Colorado, stretching south from the small town of Villa Grove.

“The ultimate goal is to provide a reliable and sustainable water supply to Douglas County water users,” according to the proposal.

RWR, formed in 2018, is headed

by former Gov. Bill Owens and Sean Tonner, who served as Owens’ deputy chief of staff.

The proposal would use nearly a third of the $68 million that Douglas County is set to receive in American Rescue Plan Act fundiwng. After the initial investment, the purchase price for the water rights would be fixed at $18,500 per annual acre-foot, according to the proposal.

State considers bill on whether to let local public workers unionize Prospective bill could grant thousands more public employees a seat at the negotiating table

nearly 28,000 state workers to collectively bargain. Labor advocates had another win last year when they passed a contentious law granting agricultural workers minimum wage, collective bargaining and other protections.

“This is the unfinished business of making sure all Coloradans have the freedom to join a union,” said Dennis Dougherty, executive director of the Colorado AFL-CIO. This year’s effort has garnered early opposition from conservatives and public sector groups, including the Colorado Municipal League, a powerful advocacy organization representing cities and towns that argues the measure would unconstitutionally infringe on local control.

“Local governments and their voters are fully equipped to be able to have the conversation locally and determine what’s appropriate,” said Kevin Bommer, the group’s executive director.

The conservative dark money nonprofit Advance Colorado Action says it will spend six figures on a direct mail and digital ad campaign against the measure, Gov. Jared Polis and Democratic lawmakers.

And Advance Colorado Institute, an affiliated nonprofit, says it will sue to overturn the proposal if it becomes law.

State Sen. Bob Gardner, a Colorado Springs Republican, argues that without limits on strikes, the measure would give public employees far too much power.

BY THY VO COLORADO SUN

A bill that would grant more public employees in Colorado the right to unionize is shaping up to be the next big labor fight at the state Capitol.

The proposal, sponsored by House Majority Leader Daneya Esgar, a Pueblo Democrat, would allow people working for cities, counties, schools, public hospitals and other local government entities the right to collectively bargain.

It would be a major expansion of labor rights for those workers, who can currently form unions but don’t have negotiating power over their work conditions, unless they are recognized by voters or the organization they work for.

“We want to make sure it doesn’t matter where you live, you have the right to bargain,” Esgar said.

Although the measure has not been introduced and many details are still in flux, labor groups say it’s the last major piece in their long effort to expand collective bargaining for workers in Colorado. In 2020, Democratic lawmakers passed a measure allowing the union for

“It’s an extraordinary, unimaginable piece of leverage being handed to public employees,” Gardner said.

There’s another big hurdle for proponents of the bill: getting the governor’s approval. Polis doesn’t support the bill “in its current form,” spokesman Conor Cahill said, though he did not cite any specific part of the bill.

“The governor was proud to sign legislation that provides the state workforce collective bargaining while striking a balance between collective bargaining and elected representation,” Cahill said in a statement. “The door is open to a much narrower legislation to expand collective bargaining and the governor hopes the advocates engage local governments more earlier in this process.”

A major expansion of the right to unionize The coronavirus pandemic highlighted how essential public workers are to society, said Esgar.

And while there are already laws that give most private sector workers the right to organize and force their employers to the bargaining table, Coloradans working for local government, schools and public hospitals and universities don’t have that ability.

“Many everyday public heroes who take care of our kids, clear off roads and respond to emergencies, they don’t have collective bargaining rights,” Esgar said. “(This bill) gives us a huge opportunity to level that playing field and create equity and fairness for working families across the state.”

A number of local public workers have tried unsuccessfully in recent years to unionize under current law.

Last year, nurses and other workers at UCHealth and Denver Health tried to form a union, but their efforts weren’t recognized by their employers.

In Colorado Springs, voters turned down a 2019 ballot measure that would have amended the city’s charter to allow local firefighters to form a union.

In Denver, which allows collective bargaining by rank-and-file police and fire employees, efforts over the last two decades to bring a charter amendment granting bargaining rights to other city employees have failed.

Among Colorado’s 272 cities, just 16 currently allow some or all of their workers to unionize.

The forthcoming bill could grant more than 250,000 more public workers the right to collective bargaining, said Dougherty, the AFLCIO president.

“You can have near-unanimous support for a union, go to a board and they can say, ‘We’re not interested,’” Dougherty said. “This should be a fundamental right.”

The proposal is the AFL-CIO’s No. 1 focus this session, Dougherty said.

It also comes after the union told Democratic lawmakers that it would suspend fundraising for Democratic legislative groups until May 2022 because their interests have been “excluded.”

The AFL-CIO is not basing its

funding decisions on support for the bill, he said. But recent discussions with Democrats about working relationships have been productive and are “headed in a positive direction.”

Many details are still unclear This isn’t the first year lawmakers have mulled whether to expand the number of public employees who can unionize.

Last year, a draft of a similar proposal allowing county and municipal workers to more easily collectively bargain was circulating ahead of the legislative session. But a bill was never introduced.

Esgar hopes to introduce her measure this year at the end of January.

But many policy details are still uncertain, said Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg, a Boulder Democrat who is working on the legislation, too.

“There’s still a lot of conversation on what it is,” Fenberg said of the prospective measure. “Who it applies to, what exactly it is — it’s a little too soon to say. I think the caucuses generally want to do what they can to move collective bargaining rights forward for all employees, not just state workers.”

Many interest groups wait until a measure is introduced before taking any official positions. But the Colorado Municipal League said it’s likely to oppose the measure no matter what exemptions or carveouts end up in the final text.

“It has little to do with whether or not there should be collective bargaining,” Bommer said, adding that the league has opposed past attempts by the legislature to ban public-sector collective bargaining on the same principle. “Employment matters at the local level should be a matter of home rule and local control.”

The group argues the soon-to-be measure would infringe on the constitutional right of cities that operate under “home rule” charters, which is nearly 100 Colorado cities and towns. The home-rule status gives the municipalities the right to self-govern in policy issues of “local concern.”

But if Democrats do decide to pursue the legislation, CML and Gardner said there should be limits placed on the ability of the affected workers to strike. The 2020 law allowing the state workers’ union to collectively bargain prohibits them from striking.

Gardner said he would advocate for the same prohibition under the new proposal to avoid employee groups “holding the state hostage” by disrupting government services.

“They would have extraordinary power, coupled with this right of concerted action … to just walk off the job of providing state services,” Gardner said.

According to the AFL-CIO, the latest draft of the prospective bill includes requirements that public safety workers – people working for law enforcement and fire departments – use arbitration to settle an impasse and prohibits them from striking. The draft bill wouldn’t otherwise limit strike activity.

Douglas County selects public health executive director Selection comes from California STAFF REPORT

On Jan. 22, the Douglas County Board of Health announced its sole finalist for the public health executive director of the Douglas County Health Department.

Michael Hill will come to the county from San Luis Obispo, California, where he has served as the health agency director since 2018, according to his curriculum vitae.

Previous to his work in California, he worked in public health in Illinois, Texas and Florida during a career spanning nearly 30 years.

Hill received a Masters of Public Health in 2003 and a Masters of Public Administration in 1997, according to his CV.

When an agency’s board of health chooses someone other than a physician as its public health director, the health department is required to also choose at least one physician to advise the director on medical decisions, according to the Colorado Public Health Act of 2008.

“We are very pleased to name Mr. Hill as the sole finalist for this position,” said Doug Benevento, President of the Douglas County Board of Health, according to a news release from the county.

The search for an executive director spanned the nation and brought 40 applicants, according to the news release. Four people were interviewed.

Douglas County voted to split away from Tri-County Health Department and form its own in September of 2021 following months of disagreements with the agency over COVID-19 precautions.

Douglas County assessor announces bid to replace Patrick Neville Lisa Frizell was elected as assessor in 2014 and 2018

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County’s assessor has announced that she will run to replace Rep. Patrick Neville, who is termlimited, in Colorado House District 45 this year.

Lisa Frizell, a Castle Rock resident, was voted in as the county assessor in 2014 and was re-elected in 2018.

She worked as an analyst for the assessor’s office beginning in 1998.

Both Frizell and Neville were elected to their offices on the Republican ticket.

The assessor’s office determines the values for real and business properties in Douglas County.

“Our state government has failed to preserve our once prosperous economy and the governor’s executive orders that shut down our state

“I wouldn’t say we’ve landed anywhere,” Fenberg said, but “everybody recognizes there are certain professions and certain lines of work that have to be there for public safety purposes.”

Proponents also dispute CML’s argument that requiring cities and towns to recognize employee unions would infringe on home rule, arguing the requirement would be similar to state laws governing anti-discrimination and worker’s compensation that apply to all municipalities.

Bommer also raised concerns that

ensured that we are far worse off today than before,” Frizell said, according to a news release.

The announcement goes on to say that Frizell will “fight to protect” the state’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, “fix our tax code,” support families and communities, protect local control, preserve Second Amendment rights and defend small businesses.

Frizell has served as the president of the Colorado Assessors Association, chair and treasurer of the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce board of directors and is the second vice president of the Douglas County Republican Women, according to the news release.

As of Jan. 19 at 4:30 p.m., Frizell was not yet listed on the state’s TRACER website as a candidate. Two other people, however, were listed as running: William Jack and Gregory Smith.

In a phone call with Colorado Community Media, Frizell said she planned to fill out her TRACER information the day of her announcement. the proposal would affect existing bargaining agreements brokered by local governments or passed by their voters, and about language in earlier drafts that lay out specific requirements for the bargaining process.

Workers would still need to win the support of their coworkers to form a union and go through a negotiating process with their public employer, Esgar said.

field covered with water one foot deep.

The project has been met with strong disapproval from some in the San Luis Valley, including the Rio Grande Water Conservation District, headed by state Sen. Cleave Simpson, R-Alamosa, and the San Luis Valley Ecosystem Council. These groups say that the project would deplete alreadythin water resources in a droughtridden community that relies on water for agriculture and its economy.

The project has also been met with disagreement among the Douglas County commissioners.

In a guest column for Colorado Community Media newspapers, Commissioner George Teal supported the proposal, saying the project could help “meet our county’s needs for decades to come.”

“The RWR plan would allow us to purchase primary water rights; not junior water rights that could be interrupted during dry years, when we need that water the most,” he wrote.

Commissioner Lora Thomas also wrote a guest column on the topic, but she opposed the project.

“If RWR were to move forward with the project to export water from the San Luis Valley, tens of thousands of acres of productive agriculture ground would be sacrificed to make water available for Front Range users,” she wrote.

“This action would have farreaching impacts on the economies, communities and wildlife that depend on irrigated agriculture in the San Luis Valley.”

Now, the county is conducting a series of meetings to explore various aspects of the proposal.

“There are significant questions of fact being presented by various stakeholders so the goal of the board is to engage experts on all sides of this particular issue to provide objective, truthful, accurate information,” Commissioner Abe Laydon said in the meeting.

The meetings will take place through March and will end with

the commissioners traveling to the valley for a tour and discussion there. As of Jan. 21, the next meeting was scheduled to take place Jan. 24 Each work session will be about two hours and will explore different topics related to the project including Colorado water policy and law, San Luis Valley water impacts, San Luis Valley economic development impacts, environmental impacts and metro area impacts. The commissioners will also hear from local elected officials from the San Luis Valley.

Residents interested in tuning into the meetings can do so by checking the weekly commissioner work session schedule at douglas.co.us/commissionersweekly-schedule. The county also recently decided to begin recording work sessions after questions on the practice from Colorado Community Media. Those records are available upon request by contacting the commissioner’s of-

fice at 303-660-7401 or via email at bocc@douglas.co.us.

In the Jan. 18 meeting, Bruce Lytle, an engineer and consultant for RWR, spoke about the company’s analysis of the hydrogeological makeup of the San Luis Valley, providing diagrams and simulations on the project’s expected impact.

The board also heard a presentation from Mike Sullivan, the deputy state engineer for the Colorado Division of Water Resources.

Sullivan gave a presentation on the physical aspects of the region, the history of court decisions related to water there and various legal requirements for the region.

While work sessions typically don’t include interaction with the public, Laydon opened up this first meeting to questions from those in attendance. About 90 people joined the virtual meeting.

health expenditures, economic impacts from the pandemic, government services reduced by the pandemic, pay for essential workers and infrastructure such as water and broadband. The Department of the Treasury will later release more details on the allowable uses of the money.

The board of commissioners has said they will use the money to fund water and wastewater investments, mental and behavioral health, economic recovery, community recovery and broadband.

The county has received more than a dozen other water and wastewater-related proposals, including one from Parker Water & Sanitation District, Castle Rock Water and the Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District. That plan also asked commissioners to contribute at least $20 million to a renewable water project.

Blue Island Oyster Bar expands to Lone Tree Restaurant serves up freshly-shucked oysters and seafood

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Attention seafood fans— a new dining locale has arrived in Lone Tree to serve up a wide array of coastal grub — and its prize offering is fresh oysters shucked on site by the thousands.

Blue Island Oyster Bar and Seafood is co-owned by Chris Quartuccio, who owns Blue Island Oyster Company in New York, and Denverresident Sean Huggard. Quartuccio is a shellfish diver and farmer while Huggard is a professional shucker and oyster buyer.

The business has expanded from its Cherry Creek location into Lone Tree, with an eye on the new spot’s ample parking space and saving customers in the southern suburbs a drive to Denver.

The restaurant, located at 10008 Commons St., will staff about 70 people and can seat up to 200 diners inside, plus another 50 on the patio.

Its grand opening was scheduled for Jan. 17.

The Lone Tree location strives to immerse people in a modern New England atmosphere filled with

vintage inspiration. Décor includes nautical maps that pinpoint the location of the company’s east coast operations.

Much of the oyster served up to diners are sourced from the company’s oyster farm and hatchery in Long Island, although the seafood comes from both coasts and across the globe.

“When I designed the space, I really wanted for it to be like a choose your own adventure,” Huggard said.

There’s a cocktail bar, a patio, a casual dining space near the bar, intimate booths near the back and a more formal dining area, all aimed at catering to whatever a customer’s mood of the day is.

“Front and center, a beautiful oyster bar,” Huggard said, standing in front of the restaurant’s main entrance. “They are shucked right in front of you.”

Between 30,000 and 50,000 oysters will be shucked at the Lone Tree location each week.

Huggard can passionately talk through the five oyster varieties, where the varieties originate, where they’ve been relocated and grown, the intricacies in each variety’s shell and how it all comes together to deliver different flavors.

Huggard said the restaurant isn’t just for people who love seafood.

The menu includes everything from burgers to salad to steak, although

‘We want Colorado to be an innovative and effective model, and I’m excited to be part of the momentum and part of the team that’s going to get us there.’

and Broomfield in the Denver metro area.

Last year, Children’s Hospital Colorado stepped up, calling the mental health crisis impacting young patients unacceptable. Officials labeled it a crisis, calling on state lawmakers to step up and start making changes to truly address the growing problems.

After another roundtable discussion in the fall, CHC continued to press, saying some work had been done since they first raised concerns last May, but stressed it has not been enough. Administrators at CHC have focused on the fact that fixing the mental health problems for youths, teens and young adults in Colorado is not a short-term issue, committing to a long-term fight to find solutions.

Appointing Liaw is the latest step for CHC in making the commitment to find answers to the growing problem that is happening not just in Colorado but nationwide.

“Now is the time for Colorado to design and build an integrated system of care for the kids and families of this dynamic and beautiful state,” said Liaw. “I am impressed with the mission, vision, footprint and the depth of humble expertise I’ve found at Children’s Hospital Colorado, along with tremendous partners who are all driving a movement of change for children’s health. We want

dren’s Hospital Colorado the disastrous downstream impacts of an already-broken pediatric mental health system that’s been further strained by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said President and CEO Jena Hausmann. “We will continue to do all we can to provide highquality mental health services to those children in need while also continuing to advocate with our community partners for systemic change at every level — local, state and federal — to help solve the youth mental health crisis.”

According to CHC administrators who have spoken out over the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the youth mental health crisis and further exposed the lack of a wrap-around mental health system in Colorado.

Doctors and pediatricians say children and families are experiencing tremendous stress driven by disruptions in daily routine, social isolation, financial insecurity and grief. The lack of screening, preventive services, mental health providers, training programs, and psychiatric beds and residential treatment facilities for young people in crisis leads to a continued cycle of trauma.

According to data provided by CHC, the inpatient psychiatric unit has been full for well over a year and the inpatient medical units and ICUs continue to admit multiple patients with suicidal ideation.

came to CHC emergency departments due to a mental health crisis, compared to the same time period before the pandemic in 2019.

In 2021, CHC saw more than 6,500 emergency department behavioral health visits of children in crisis, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Huasmann said Children’s Hospital Colorado is pleased to welcome Liaw because of her vision, energy and leadership, as the healthcare provider works to reimagine its response to crisis care and expand mental health inpatient, outpatient and day treatment services across the system.

Liaw will be representing Children’s Hospital Colorado as a 202122 Aspen Institute Ascend Fellow and joining a national network of leaders to transform the trajectory of children and families across the country.

King Soopers strike ends Agreement reached between union and grocer

BY TAMARA CHUANG COLORADO SUN

On Jan. 21, the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 said that it has reached a tentative three-year labor agreement with King Soopers, ending a strike that began more than a week ago.

The union said the deal will provide the wages and protections deserved by workers, who were considered essential during the pandemic. The strike ended immediately. More than 8,000 workers walked out on Jan. 12.

“This fight will always be about the workers. I could not be prouder of our members who put it all on the line to have their voices heard,” Kim Cordova, president of UFCW Local 7, said in a written statement. “We didn’t ask for this fight, but the company chose to put profits over people for so long and failed to listen to the workers who made its success possible.”

Details of the contract were not shared. Union members were expected to vote to approve the deal on Jan. 24.

King Soopers confirmed the tentative deal.

“We are pleased that this agreement allows us to put more money in our associates’ paychecks

and secures healthcare and pension plans,” Joe Kelley, president of King Soopers and City Market, said in a written statement. “We look forward to welcoming back our associates and customers.”

The strike lasted nine days and grew more heated as King Soopers obtained a temporary restraining order after disruptions at some stores. The union called the charges unfounded but did share rules with picketers on how to maintain a peaceful strike.

King Soopers officials offered its “last, best and final offer” a day before union members went on strike. It proposed raising wages about $3.10 over three years for those with five years of experience. A full-time checker with five years experience, currently making $19.51 an hour, would get a $1.50 raise this year to $21.01. By 2024, the same checker’s wage would increase to $22.61. The starting hourly wage was $16, or 13 cents more than Denver’s current minimum wage of $15.87.

The union, meanwhile, also has the lowest starting wage at $16 an hour, according to its last public proposal. Most clerk positions would start at $18.56 this year and ratchet up to between $21.56 and $26.20 per hour by 2024, depending on experience.

But union leaders said the negotiations were also about improved health benefits and personal safety for workers who

at times had to handle disrespectful customers.

“Now, our members have the contracts they deserve and can be proud of,” Cordova said.

The specifics of the contract are expected to be made public after it is approved by members, according to the union.

VOICES Take the win, celebrate the victory

C

ongratulations! You have made it through the first 30 days of the year and have conquered all your goals and objectives, you have lived up to each resolution and commitment made on New Year’s Eve, and you have made all the desired and even necessary changes to help you achieve success.

Wait, that’s not you? Are you kidding me? Don’t sweat it, it’s not me either and I would venture say the larger population is in the same boat. But wait, there’s more. There are still reasons to celebrate as we still have 11 more months ahead of us as we put this one into the rearview mirror.

One of the best ways to reignite the flame is to celebrate the little wins along the way. Those small achievements and positive disciplines that are repeated daily are what will lead us to the long-term realization of our dreams. So don’t quit. Don’t give up. Instead find the smallest victory and celebrate it. Now imagine what it could look like if we just made a little more progress this month. What would the next

level of success feel like? Take in the moment and bring your future success into the present, right into the reading of this column.

Achievement of worthy goals takes work, commitment, and belief. There is Michael Norton a Navy Seal quote that reads, “The only easy day was yesterday.”

And when it comes to breaking bad habits, creating new and better habits, or impacting change, it’s been said that the only thing harder than the first 30 days is the next 30 days. Some will point to this as the very reason to stop.

People who are willing to put in the work, and who are committed, and who believe that their intended goal or dream is still the target, they use these types of motivating statements as fuel.

What are we really talking about here? We are only one month into our 2022 journey, with 11 times more opportunity in front of us than behind us.

And for those of you who are to-

WINNING WORDS

tally committed, tracking nicely towards your dreams, keep it going, you are an inspiration to the rest of us.

Last year I wrote a column titled, “The 60 to 60 Success Plan.” In this column I talked about turning 60 years old, and how I wanted to arrive at that age mentally, physically, and spiritually. I talked about some of the changes I needed to make, knowing that once I put it all out there, I would never be able to take it back. This level of accountability through transparency was important to achieve my goals. Earlier this month, I hit my 60th birthday, and through starts, stops, starts, re-starts, effort, commitment, and belief, I achieved what I had set out to achieve.

Here’s what was on my list of change and better habit building: 371 straight days of sobriety, 20 pounds of weight loss, 3 inches off the waistline, 42 books read, 60 new columns written and published, I wrote and published my first e-Book, 60 consecutive weeks of prayer, Bible study, and devotions, 400 straight days and counting of

praying with friends and family, greater endurance and strength as I have spent three to five days every week working out. Did I feel like giving up along the way?

Several times. Did I give up?

Sometimes? Did I get back into the journey toward my goals and dreams? Every single time.

The hills were hard to climb, but the view from the top has been fantastic.

The most important thing for me along the way was finding time to celebrate the little wins.

Celebrating each small victory keeps me going as I am now onto this year’s goals. How are you doing? Is your year off to a good start or do you need to find a little win to reignite the fire?

I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we remember to build upon the small victories that lead to lasting success, it really will be a better than good year.

Public Health Advisory Committee submits final report

J

ust last week, the Douglas County Public Health Advisory Committee wrapped up four months of work and presented our final report, on time, at the request of the Douglas County commissioners and our newly appointed board of health. The mandate of our committee, chaired by Castle Rock Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken and vice-chaired by myself, was to assess the viability of our county’s new health department and recommend what its focus areas should be.

Regarding the first part of our mandate, I am pleased to report most of us found the historic opportunity to pursue a stand-alone health department, devoted to the unique needs of our county, to be a viable direction. To the credit of our commissioners, our committee was made up of a broad range of highly qualified appointees from all corners of our beautiful county and represented a

diverse range of thought and background. In fact, the uniquely capable former executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Douglas Benevento, was Luke Niforatos on our board and is now president of the new board of health.

The second part of our mandate was to recommend the areas of focus for the new department, and our top priority as a group was to solicit input from the citizens of Douglas County.

We heard them loud and clear.

Whether we spoke with city officials, community leaders, or fellow neighbors, the following three priorities were evident in our report and should help inform the decisions of our new board of health and depart-

ment.

First, the consistent feedback we heard was how businesses operating within our county should not experience disruption. The safety and inspection duties, among other regular activities and services of a health department, need to be fully operational from day one.

Second, Douglas County residents want a health department that is data- and science-driven, transparent, and most importantly, empowering all of us to make our own informed decisions. As members of the advisory committee, we conveyed to the board of health the importance of facts over politics and individual responsibility.

Third, we asked the new department to place emphasis on mental health needs, as well as serving those who are most vulnerable, including our senior community. Truly, we as a county can only be judged by how we serve those who need

help the most.

In conjunction with our work, we advised on the implementation of the county-wide community health assessment that gave thousands of residents the opportunity to state their health priorities. We included some of what we learned from this process in the report, particularly the importance of bridging the divide in services between rural and urban.

I am grateful to our commissioners, and all of you, for the opportunity to give input into the formation of the department. With a new executive director soon to be hired for our department, I encourage all of us to do our part to make the health and well-being of our county the best it can be.

A copy of the report can be found at bit.ly/3tOcbFR. Luke Niforatos is the vice chair of the Douglas County Public Health Advisory Committee.

In defense of truth and ethics in politics

H

ave you noticed how off-kilter our political moral compass is? There are fact-check organizations to catch public falsehoods and untruths, but I’m wondering about our internal ethical checkpoints. If what’s happening publicly is a reflection of what’s occurring privately, it appears we’re in a moral crisis together.

Federally, we’ve recently seen examples of both honor and shame of elected officials (from all sides of the aisle). On the floor of the U.S. Senate last week, we saw senators explicitly lie and obstruct the reauthorization of a voting rights bill foundational to our Constitution.

Their false justification? An arcane rule they claim must not be broken (although it’s been changed over 150 times throughout history for other legislation far less important).

In Colorado, we’re not immune to unethical antics either. Currently, a county clerk is under a grand jury investigation and faces ethics complaints over allegations of abusing her official privileges to steal election information and distribute it to her partisan colleagues.

In our Colorado state legislature last week, several legislators attempted to support the false allegations of our elections being stolen and also support the unlawful 2021 insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. Honorably, only Linda Newell one legislator broke from his party to defend the truth and the Constitution. That’s a person with integrity.

Politically, some of this is not new, unfortunately. When I ran for my second term in the state Senate, there were outright lies about me that were published in a fake online newspaper crafted by the opposition party leaders. Gratefully, I was the victor of that election in spite of that. But afterward, our relationships were strained for quite some time.

Although now it seems we’re at a precipice as a society. How do we demand honesty and truth with each other? We’re dealing with a

GUEST COLUMN

plethora of perceived realities that don’t align with the truth — the facts of our history, or Constitution, or science, for example. These are not limited to only public servants.

These untruths are among all of us. I acknowledge that some people may misspeak unknowingly. They may just be misinformed. I’ve been there and have had to correct myself for sure. But to purposely, divisively, steer people away from the truth is a different story. Why do certain people speak and vote with integrity and others lie? (That’s actually a loaded question for a whole other article.)

I’m not claiming to be a purist.

I still sometimes feel guilty about lying to my kids about Santa. But I do believe that every time we lie we not only harm others but ourselves as well. Our bodies keep the score and those large or small infractions etch away at our physical or emotional health. So, if that’s true, what are we doing collectively to the body of our community, our state, our nation? No wonder we’re hanging onto our democracy by a thread.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR School board majority short-shrifts locals The recent Douglas County School Board election placed four new conservative members.

Many predicted, if elected, these arch-conservatives would move quickly to act on hot-button issues considered critical solely by their base and outside advocates including equity policy, among others. Not that the current DCSD equity policy is problematic, or critical race theory is being taught in our local schools.

That early prediction has been validated. The new Douglas County School Board agenda mirrors those in conservative locales across the country.

Next on the DCSD board docket is equity policy.

As predicted, outside interests have a seat at the table; the new board invited The Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR), a New York company with a chapter in Douglas County. FAIR is staunchly opposed to critical race theory and, frankly, any notion that racism could possibly be a contemporary problem.

President Peterson (new member) stated during the recent January 11 meeting, “And just backing up to the [Jan. 25] resolution, Director Winegar (new member) is running point on that. She’s putting together a draft, socializing it with some members of the community including some of our fine folks over at FAIR, [they] have a very balanced and even mind on this.”

It’s worth noting that FAIR’s involvement in Colorado Springs District 11’s discussion in December resulted in dissolution of CD11’s volunteer 40-member Equity Leadership team.

Now that the new board members have confirmed the DCSD board agenda is driven by outsiders, we

can drop the pretenses, right?

Lloyd Guthrie Roxborough Park Dementia training needed When my husband, John, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, our family was devastated. There was so much for us to learn. When it was time to look for help with his care, we wanted to know the staff was well-prepared to provide for his needs.

The most important factor in quality dementia care is the staff.

When choosing a care community, I assumed that the staff was knowledgeable in all aspects of dementia care. Sadly, there were times when I observed that lack of training impacted my husband’s (or another resident’s) care. I was surprised to learn that Colorado does not require staff at nursing homes, assisted living residences or adult day centers to have a specific number of hours of training in dementia. While some facilities do make dementia training a priority, I believe all providers of these services should require it.

Please join me in thanking Senator Kolker, Senator Ginal and Representative Young for supporting the Alzheimer’s Association’s proposal to require a minimum of four hours of initial training and two hours of additional training every two years after that for direct care staff at every nursing home, assisted living and adult day centers across the state. I urge Speaker Garnett, Senators Smallwood, Fields and Buckner, and Representatives Lontine, Ortiz and Titone to also support this proposal. Without proper training, we cannot ensure appropriate care for the thousands of Coloradans living with Alzheimer’s in assisted living facilities.

Debra Wells Centennial

So, where is our moral compass leading us? As our elected officials are a mirror of the population they serve, what does that say about all of us whom they represent?

I intimately understand the political pressures of serving as an elected official, and I’m sure I was not always perfect while in office.

But I do believe it’s incumbent on each of our public servants (and constituents) to at least tell the truth and vote based on that truth.

As all of us feel these moral dilemmas crowding around us, may they inspire us to live ethical lives personally and publicly. May we call each other in and hold each other to account for telling the truth and upholding our elemental integrity.

OBITUARIES POLINSKI

John Joseph Polinski

SING UNTO THE LORD A NEW SONG - Psalm 96 John Joseph Polinski, 78, accordion and piano virtuoso, instrumental and vocal music educator, conductor, senior director, arranger and composer, peacefully passed on to his next musical adventure on November 13, 2021, at home in Long Beach, CA. During his eleven classroom years in the Jefferson County Public School system, he also wrote and published the “Colorado History Songbook” series that is still widely used in public and private schools in Colorado. He spent eleven years conducting vocal and bell choirs at Hope United Methodist Church, then on to Park Hill UMC and Green Mountain UMC. He greatly valued being the founding Artistic Director and Senior Conductor at the Parker Chorale, working with his daughter Alicia Pope, the Chorale’s founder and chairperson.

John suffered a stroke in 2011. After initially working very hard to recover, he was able to return to his choral conducting. However, by 2013, a medical setback forced John to

return to the warmer climate of Long Beach, where he remained active in the Chancel Choir and ‘Fire Within Us’ at California Heights UMC until 2019.

John J. Polinski is survived by his wife Sylvia Dunham-Polinski, daughters Alicia Pope and Bridget LePree, step-children Randy Festejo, Twila Ingram and Corey Festejo. three grandchildren, eight stepgrandchildren, and one great step-grandchild.

He also leaves behind his four brothers: Stephen, Peter, Daniel and Paul, 9 nieces and nephews and 3 great nieces and nephews.

The family requests that memorial donations be made to the church or community music group of your choice.

A celebration of John’s life will be held at Parker United Methodist Church in Parker, Colorado and is currently scheduled for February 21, 2022, at 1:00 PM. The California Heights United Methodist Church of Long Beach musical celebration has been delayed due to the pandemic. Interment services will be held at the Ascension Ukrainian Cemetery in Sayre, Pennsylvania, at a later date.

Afternoon Tea at the Brown Palace Hotel.

Metro tea time puts Colorado spin on an English classic

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

fternoon Tea was introduced in 1840 by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, to get her through the long period between lunch and dinner, not served in her abode until 8 p.m., according to Historic-UK.com.

That being the case, you might have surmised that Afternoon Tea consists of more than just a hot beverage. It always comes with scrummy nosh as well. You may find scones with clotted cream and freshly made jams, a tasty selection of sweet and savory pastries and finger sandwiches. And of course, there’s British-style biscuits to set you right.

You don’t have to be in England to enjoy Afternoon Tea. There are several places in the Queen City of the Plains (and surrounding areas) where you can have the experience.

Kathy Curry, visiting from Georgia with her two young daughters, said one of the things they looked most forward to this year was Afternoon Tea at the Brown.

“It’s magical,” Curry said. “It makes the girls feel like they’re princesses. And I love it too.”

Morgan Bobo handles press requests for the Brown. She said Afternoon Tea has been served at the Brown Palace since 1986.

“It’s presently hosted in the historic and stunning Atrium Lobby. Guests can enjoy a variety of teas topped with Devonshire cream shipped directly from England while listening to the soft sounds of the grand piano float through the lobby and natural light streaming through the stained-glass ceiling,” she said. “The rich history isn’t the only thing that makes the experience unique, as all of the honey utilized for tea service comes directly from the property’s rooftop bee colonies and can be purchased on property to take home.”

The Brown Palace does have perhaps the most storied Afternoon Tea in the metro area. But recent years have seen plenty of competition spring up from Castle Rock to Louisville and all spots in-between, keeping this decidedly British tradition alive and well in Colorado.

“It’s about the experience,” said Michael Herrera, proud Denver dad.

“My daughter loved being able to get dressed up to go to Tea.” Elaine Bryant and her husband, Joel, a trained chef, are the owners of The Lumber Baron, a historic Bed

and Breakfast in the Potter Highlands neighborhood. Bryant says they started offering Afternoon Tea about six months after opening the Inn because it seemed like such a natural fit. The Victorian mansion is the perfect setting for their traditional English tea service featuring a variety of fancy finger sandwiches, scones, crumpets and fresh cookies.

Bryant says she honed the customer service skills it takes to run a B&B serving up a different hot beverage — coffee — for Starbucks, where she worked for 13 years before becoming an Inn Keeper.

Speaking of kids, Bryant said they’re more than welcome and get the same white tablecloth and antique china treatment as anyone else.

“We love having children come to the High Tea,” she said. “And they love coming, The little girls, especially. They just know that it’s something special.”

If you haven’t taken Afternoon Tea before, here’s a primer: Tea comes by the pot, with different loose-leaf varieties to choose from, while the treats are always served family style, but on much fancier platters than your average chicken nachos. Price covers both tea and food per person. So, no need to fuss.

Just make a reservation, show up and as they say across the pond, “Bob’s your uncle.”

A thousand words paint a picture Dialogue-heavy play keeps audience engaged throughout

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s a play about writing and flows with words, words, words — and minimal action, yet one stays pretty much hooked in for most of its 90-minute run. The stage is sparsely set with a desk at each side and a couple of bookshelves at the rear against stark white walls. It beckons an audience member in ...

Curious Theatre is housed in a vintage 1910 church at 1080 Acoma St., in Denver’s Golden Triangle, and offers strong productions — usually of well-received contemporary plays that have not yet been performed in Denver ... which is a good thing in my view.

“The Sound Inside,” by well-

recognized writer Adam Rapp, played on Broadway in 2020 and was nominated for both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award, which speaks well of its qualities. Language flows throughout this performance — it’s a pleasure to hear the dialogue.

Mary Louise Parker, who played Bella on Broadway, did indeed win a Tony for her performance.

Director Sabin Epstein is a widely recognized director and educator, who was head of Performance Skills for the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver, Head of Acting for the Old Globe/University of San Diego MFA Actor Training Program and more. He has directed at a number of Shakespeare Festivals across the nation and at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

Accomplished local actress Diana Dresser, who plays Bella, a mid-career Yale writing professor, launches immediately into a reflection about her cancer diagnosis in a low-key conversational mode ... she chats with the audience in the beginning

and is soon joined by a freshman student, Christopher (Mikah Conway), who arrives “without making an appointment.” He repeats this the next day. (Conway is a recent graduate of the strong University of Denver theatre program.)

Bella reminds him of this protocol and soon senses that he’s not much concerned about protocol. She also senses that he’s a writer in the making and tells him so. He wants to talk with her about his novel in process.

“Please don’t call security,” he begs. “I just wanted to tell you how much I liked the class.”

Her class begins with Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment,” and she remarks that many students tend to sympathize with the killer, which puzzles her.

Aside, she comments: “I did kind of get the feeling he just wants to hang out ...” She’s right ... he appears the next day and the next, with pages from his novel, which he’s typing on an old manual Co-

She is a loner who has “written two collections of stories and an ‘underappreciated’” novel.

Highlands Ranch rolls over shorthanded Ponderosa 69-24 game was never close as Falcons used opportunity to practice

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Alex Pirog (10) was one of three Highlands Ranch players to score 14 points in a 69PHOTO BY JIM BENTON 24 win over Ponderosa on Jan. 11.

Highlands Ranch girls basketball coach Caryn Jarocki emphasized that the Falcons’ lopsided 69-24 win over Ponderosa on Jan. 18 was important.

The score of the game was never close after the start and Jarocki made sure her players didn’t start making silly mistakes in the runaway victory in the Mustangs’ gym.

“We expect more perfection in a game like that, less turnovers and more assists,” said Jarocki. “Our expectations are higher. We also get to play some kids that haven’t gotten to play in a long time due to our incredible insane schedule.

“We worked on a couple defenses that we’ve been working on in practice. It was a good time to practice that. Also we worked on sharing the ball. We had a couple plays that we hadn’t run in a while.”

Highlands Ranch jumped out to an 8-0 lead against the shorthanded Mustangs and built up a 36-12 halftime lead. The Falcons outscored Pondo 26-2 in the third quarter to swell their lead to 48 points at 62-14.

Alex Pirog, a 6-foot-3 senior, freshman Tori Baker and senior guard Emily Hovasse each had 14 points.

Freshman Ezra Simonich added 11 points.

Pirog. Simonich and Bailey Williamson each had six rebounds while Katie Johanning had eight

assists for Highlands Ranch.

Highlands Ranch, ranked third in the Class 5A poll of CHSAANow. com, improved to 9-4 overall and 2-0 in the Continental League.

“We’re moving in a positive direction, not as fast as I would like,” added Jarocki. “Movement is movement. We need to keep growing towards the end.”

Ponderosa, which slipped to 7-6 overall and 0-1 in the Continental League, was without head coach Cory White and two players who were sidelined because of COVID. The Mustangs had only six players at practice the day before the game against Highlands Ranch.

“We knew what we were up against,” said assistant coach Mark Roberts, who is also Pondo’s girls softball coach. “They are talented and we were pretty wounded when our head coach is gone and two of our players. We had eight players.

We kind of laughed about it. We had more coaches on the bench than we did subs.”

Senior Kaitlin Kyle, the leading scorer in the league, led the Mustangs with 12 points and all her points came on four three-point baskets.

Highlands Ranch made it a sweep over Ponderosa as the Falcons boys team notched a 60-51 win over the Mustangs in a game played at Highlands Ranch.

Senior Sasha Stelkic had 15 points for Ranch and senior Mason Moyle chipped in 14 points and eight assists. Junior Lezer Barber had eight points and seven of the 18 steals for the Falcons in the game.

Sophomore Noah Wilheim scored 14 points for Pondo.

Heritage continues its winning ways Top-ranked swim team defeats Regis

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Heritage, the top-ranked Class 4A girls swim team in Colorado, proved a point in a dual meet on Jan. 21.

The Eagles used its entire varsity lineup to notch a 177-138 win over Class 5A power Regis Jesuit, currently ranked third in the state’s top classification rankings.

“There were some great races between Regis and Heritage,” said Heritage coach Tom Byorick. “Lord knows, we’ve come to this place many times and it was all we could do to get a win or two. It was great to come in and have a good performance.

“We still have some things to work on. Overall our kids had a real good energy. This was the best competitive dual meet we’ve had all year.”

Heritage is the defending Class

4A state champion and appears to have a strong team for the 4A state meet that will be held Feb. 10-11 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton.

“We are a smaller school and going up against a private school like Regis, we kinda always did not not know if we could beat Regis or Creek because they are always good teams,” said Heritage junior Sophia Capp, who won two individual events and was on a winning relay team.

“So showing how we raced against Regis,” she continued, “it was really incredible for all of us.

It boosts our confidence a little bit that we are one of those top teams.”

Byorick quickly pointed out that those Heritage swimmers who did not win a race are vital.

“I was really impressed with some of the character and toughness of our third- and fourth-place kids on our team,” he said. “That third and fourth spot is important in a dual meet but also in chasing a team title. I know we have some talent up top and know we have depth, it’s just that we have to make

sure we get everybody firing in the right direction, and against Regis we showed we could do that.”

Capp won the 200 individual medley with a season-best time of 2:06.20 and also was first in the 100 freestyle with a time of 53.48.

She was on the 200 freestyle relay team with Caroline Dimig, Elise Ramadan and Kenzie Myco, which won in 1:39.64. She was also on the 400 freestyle relay team, which was second behind the Regis foursome of Emma Weber, Faith Marsicek, Allie Sanchez and Grace Dale.

“I’ve been working on my IM and I was happy with that time,” said Capp. “It was a lot of fun. And for me, the more fun, the less stress. To hang out with the team, it’s just so much fun.”

Capp’s teammate, junior Aislyn Barnett, captured the 500 freestyle in 5:20.68.

Weber, a senior and University of Virginia recruit, was the headline performer for Regis, which won six individual events. She won the 100 breaststroke, the 100 butterfly and was on the winning 400 freestyle relay team.

From attorney to published author Dean Ferraro of Castle Rock writes legal thriller 12 years after first hatching idea

BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A local lawyer-turned-author rekindled his passion for writing and produced his first legal thriller when he found himself home more, with less to do, during the first year of the pandemic.

Starting in the summer of 2020, and continuing for almost a year, Dean C. Ferraro worked in earnest to write the book he’d conceived 12 years earlier — a tale he began back before he had children or his own law practice.

“Now’s the best time,” the Castle Rock attorney told himself when business at Ferraro Law Firm began to slow down. “There’s no excuse not to get it finished.”

Published in November 2021, the 364-page “Murder in Santa Barbara” follows a California deputy district attorney whose simple misdemeanor

case becomes entwined with what originally appears to be an unrelated murder.

Ferraro, who has practiced law for over two decades, drew on his own experience as an assistant district attorney for several of the story’s events.

“A couple of the far-fetched things in my book that you would think ‘You couldn’t make this stuff up’ — I didn’t have to,” Ferraro said. “It really happened.”

Inspired by the best-selling author responsible for “The Firm” and “A Time to Kill,” Ferraro mined his professional past for adventuresome anecdotes. Also like John Grisham, Ferraro went to the University of Mississippi Law School.

In fact, Ferraro’s sister gave him Grisham’s third novel, “The Pelican Brief,” when she realized he’d be attending the writer’s alma mater.

“I’ve always had interest in legal thrillers, ever since I read his book,” said Ferraro, who discovered he had a way with words as an undergraduate student studying political science.

Born and raised in Southern California, Ferraro set his debut

novel in the coastal town of Santa Barbara. It’s where he lived when he began working on the story in the late 2000s.

The majority of the book, however, was written more recently from his home in Douglas County. Wanting to make his scene descriptions as accurate as possible, Ferraro ended up doing more research on his old stomping grounds than on the legal aspects of the novel, which were “second nature” to him, he said.

Ferraro’s move to Colorado came in 2015. He relocated to the state looking for a “slower pace” that would grant him more opportunities to enjoy life and time with his growing children. He also opened his own law practice, which specializes in estate planning, at that time.

Now that he’s rediscovered the joy of writing, however, Ferraro said he designates at least a couple of hours a day to the activity. He doesn’t want to let storytelling fall by the wayside again.

“This is something I’ve always wanted to do,” the 51-year-old said.

“And now that I’ve kind of jumped into it, I don’t want it to inadvertently get put on the back burner again.”

Castle Rock’s Dean C. Ferraro finally published the book he originally conCOURTESY PHOTO ceived 12 years ago.

Ferraro’s currently working on “Murder in Vail,” the sequel to his first book. He expects it will be out by the end of the year.

“Murder in Santa Barbara” can be ordered through Barnes & Noble, Amazon and local independent bookstores. Autographed copies are available through Ferraro’s website, deancferraro.com.

ICU nurse honored with Sky Ridge Healthcare Hero Award Lone Tree nurse credited for saving woman in Jan. 6 crash

“She was unconscious, barely breathing,” Dye said. “I worked to open up her airway and she took a huge breath of air in.”

While waiting for emergency crews to arrive, Dye said she kept talking to the woman, telling her to “just hang on.”

After a few minutes, the Aurora Fire Department arrived on scene.

Fire Medic Roger Baker said he got to the woman and saw that Dye was holding her head steady and keeping her in place. Baker said the Sky Ridge nurse, about whom he knew nothing at the time, continued to help until they had the patient ready to be transported.

Baker said as Dye left, all he heard her say was she was a nurse at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree.

Given that Dye likely saved another person’s life that day, Baker said he couldn’t just let the issue be.

“What she did was make a big difference for this woman,” Baker said.

“She really went above and beyond the call of duty that day. I tried to track her down because she deserved credit.”

Starting with the 9-1-1 report, Baker said he found Dye’s first name. He then called Sky Ridge Medical Center, telling them about what had happened, asking for assistance in finding the anonymous nurse.

Baker said Sky Ridge staff were

Thanks to a Sky Ridge nurse’s quick thinking and the urge to do the right thing, a life was probably saved on a cold, icy highway in the early-morning hours of Jan. 6.

Sky Ridge Medical Center ICU nurse Kristan Dye was driving on Gun Club Road in Aurora with her two children headed toward Children’s Hospital Colorado when she saw a vehicle, about three cars ahead of her, veer off the road.

When the other two cars zoomed by the crashed vehicle, Dye said she realized there was a person inside and something told her to stop. She exited her vehicle, telling her 11- and 8-yearold children to stay in the car.

Dye ran to the car and found an unresponsive female inside, while noting that smoke was starting to come from the engine.

Dye grabbed her medical kit as two men who did not speak English also stopped to help. She said she was able to get them to call 9-1-1 while she assessed the injured woman.

able to pinpoint who the nurse was quickly, identifying Dye in the ICU. In a special recognition ceremony on Jan. 19, Baker and Dye were once again brought together. The two embraced, talking briefly about the patient and that morning.

Sky Ridge CEO Kirk McCarty said when the hospital heard what one of their own did, it could not just be left alone. McCarty said honoring both Baker and Dye for their work was an opportunity to highlight something positive in the medical industry, while noting it was nice to have something that had nothing to do with COVID. McCarty presented Dye and Baker with a Sky Ridge Healthcare Hero award.

Getting the recognition was nice, Baker said, but noted that it is his job to arrive on accident scenes and work to save lives. Baker said all the credit goes to Dye because not many people would have stopped and taken the time to save a life the way she did that morning.

Dye said she was definitely out of her element while helping the woman she did not know. Dye said in the ICU she’s used to having other nurses and doctors available to assess and work as a team. That day, Dye said, it was tough because she knew “It was really only up to me.”

After having some time to reflect, Dye said maybe she was just meant

to be there that day, noting that all the elements fell into place that allowed her to act quickly and help the female patient.

Joking, Dye said her two children were well behaved during the ordeal, which “rarely happens.”

Ultimately, Dye said, “I stepped in because it was the right thing to do and I treated her the way I would treat a family member.”

Both Baker and Dye have not had an opportunity to meet the unknown female patient that morning. Eventually, Dye said she does want to meet her once she recovers.
